OVER BO MILLION BOTTLES SOLD Why Artie Shaw Walked Out on Love and Music (Continued from page 21) 54 to why he quit; he could not go on and continue to be honest with himself. That self -honesty has torn Artie apart. Ever since I've known him — and that was before an unknowing public made him an idol — -he has been one of the unhappiest of men. I don't think he has ever been really happy. Too many varying forces have plucked at him and destroyed that delicate balance of soul satisfaction which is so important to every human. So many times he has tried to find happiness. Each time he thought he had it in his hands and each time it escaped him. His agonizing search brought him too quickly from boyhood to maturity. He ran away from home when he was 15. He starved and he sweated but the rainbow didn't come any nearer. When he was 20, he was a successful free-lance musician. He should have been happy but there was a gnawing inside that wouldn't let him alone. He tried to ease his unrest by educating himself. Then he thought he'd found love in a gracious interlude that brought peace and joy and a gentle quiet. But it was a marriage doomed from the first. Three short months it lasted and then it was smashed. Another dream, another search ended. THREE years later, he turned his back on the music business for the first time. He wasn't important then and only his co-workers ever noticed that he was gone. He was hunting again for that elusive wraith of happiness. It had slipped farther and farther away from him. He was honest with himself then, too, and found that music was no longer a joy to him — but a business. With that discovery the wraith vanished. He returned to a farm and tried to write. He married again. The ache was dulled, the daggers inside of him turned on themselves. For a year he had happiness and then it fled. He had to admit to himself that music, not words, was his gift. Love and happiness left together and now there was only his clarinet. He fought to beat life. On the surface he did. He built a dream band and it failed but he shook his head and put another orchestra together and won. There isn't a music lover in America who doesn't know how great that victory was. But it was a material victory. Only for a while did it satisfy the wild longing within Artie. He thought he would be able to do the things he had dreamed about. He longed to play a new kind of swing music, music that kept time to the rhythmic heart-beat of America. Box-office calculators and idolworshippers wouldn't permit him. They demanded not genius but a mob psychologist. If you were observant, you caught the first hint of Artie's final decision when reports of his activities on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's movie lots began trickling in from the Coast. Astonished columnists reported that Shaw refused to repeat the lines of dialogue assigned to him in his first starring picture, "Dancing Co-Ed". His excuse was "they sound silly." They couldn't understand that. But if you know Artie, you know that RADIO AND TELEVISION 3VIIRROR
