His wife is shown below. NEW YORK, July 14, — Ferde Grofe, composer of the popular “Three Shades of Blue,” and oth- er orchestral works, including the recently completed “Grand Can- yon’ suite, has found his latest inspiration in fhe newspaper field. The composition on which he now is engaged has tentatively been titled “Tabloid,” and in it Grofe will essay a rhusical picture of newsdom. The composéi’s inspiration came when he listened to the slatter of automatic printers, the click of typewriters, and the .roar of press- |.. es in a newspaper plant, and the musical themes that came to him at that time are now being elab- orated in a typical Grofe score. Grofe’s ambition is to “inter- pret the American scene in mod- ern Ameérican music; to express musically the things I see and feel and hear of the ever chang- ing aspects of American Lfe” His big orchestroa work “Met- ropolis” of a few years back gave his impressions of big city life; his “Canyon Suite” represented his reaction to a trip to the Grand Canyon; his “Mississippi Buite,” was his interpreation of life along the Father of Waters; “Knute Rockne” _caught, the staccato_ac- i cents in the life of a great foot- ball coach. Now, in “Tabloid” he has turned to newspaper life. “The composition stars with' a scene at the city editor's desk with telephones ringing, typewrit- lers clicking, and printing machines clucking,” said Grofe, as he turn- ed to the piano to run over the dominant phrases of the work. “The clang of police patrols and fire engines and other themes wili be introduced. “Near the end will be a pause-— 30.” Then in conclusion will be heard the roar of the presses. There is something dynamic in the roll of a great newspaper press. The first ¢ime I heard that sound it thrilled and inspired me.” Grofe recently directed the New {York premier of his tures of the Grand Canyon.” He now is scoring the work for full symphonic ~ orchestra. Both Philadelphia and Boston symphony orchestras have expressed inte in a production of the composition. —————— Resembling a toy pistol is an im- plement :pat squirts an insect- lkming liquid about rooms. “Five Pic-' the | ““ican police, “CHAMP” BEGINS RUN TONIGHT ON Be at 2 Tomorrow Afternoon Two outstanding characters of the screen, pne a veferan, the oth- ’ er filmdom's newest child “dis- covery,” are teamed in “The Champ,” Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer's vivid drama of sporting life be- low the Mexican border, which will | begin showing tonight at the Cap- itol theatre. In order to accom- modate as many adults as possi- ble at the performances tonight; no children will be admitted to these initial showings. For the children a special matinee will be given at 2 o'clock tomorrow after~ noon. Wallace Beery and Jackie Coop- er share honors in “The Champ,” which King Vidof directed. Thrills, comedy and heart-throbs mingle in the drama, and much authentic detail was actually filmed in Cal- iente and Mexican border locales; Broken Down Fighter Beery plays a broken-down prize figher, rearing his small son amid the squalid surroundings of 'Lhe border while attempting a “comeback.” The lovce of the two is great. Finally the boy’s moth- er, who has married a rich man, seeks to take the boy that he may have better advantages. Despite his great love for the child the {old prize fighter resolves to make ‘the sacrifice. But the child runs away. from Ris mhfl and Murm to him, i Makes #Great Mve “The Champ” then makes his great resolve and stages an at- tempted ‘“comeback” for money to send. the child to school. 'The at- tempt costs him his life, in a sen- sational prize-fight episode. Frances Marion wrote the story. In the supporting cast are in- cluded Irene Rich as the mother; Roscoe Ates and Edward Brophy as the comical fight handlers, Hale |Hamilton, Jesse Scott and Marcia Mae Jones. Among the dramatic “high spots” are the child’s caring for the old fighter in the gambling hall, the ‘purchase of a race horse, the race \at Caliente, the dramatic meeting of the champion and the child’s {mother, the fight with the Mexi- the pathetic prison |scene, the big prize fight and the heart-gripping death scene and finale, s CAPITOL SCREEN ;IMatlnee for Children Will BIRLS GOMING IN BIG TIME REVUE *“Broadway Scandals Wlll Be Presented at Cap- itol Sunday.
