Open Saturday Evenings "My Reverie” Written by larry Clinfon By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Perhaps it you to know how Larry n came to write his new song “My Reverie,” which seems to about the most consistently and crooned. tune of the hit, be hummed day Mr. Clinton is an orchestra leader and a writer of songs, and he has vritten many and varied lyric la- ments that have soothed and harmed your ears. But it is doubt- | ful if any tune ever led him such | 1 chase the one you know My Reverie For it all began years ago, de- pite the fact that the song was hot ten until one hot night last August When Mr. Clinton was a little boy he used to practice piano exer- cises by the hour. Difficult exer- cises 'd sometimes very dull ones, by most of the old masters. Perhaps his mother made him practice. It may even be that he ought out the piano of his own ccord. I forgot to ask him. But practic he did. And one day a fragment of melody became de- tached from one of the mother compositions and it ran around in his brain for years. as It nageged him. It irritated him It haunted him and it charmed him. But he didn’'t know whose it was, or from whence it came. All he knew was there it was, bobbing up like remembered picture and running a dim for fleeting moments, One night (this was that hot August night I mentioned) he sat at the keyboard, letting his fingers idle along, and before he knew it that vagrant refrain, maybe four five bars, bobbed up again. Mr. Clinton hastily reached for a pen- il and Jotted it down Once on paper it began to pear like something from an acquaintance. Maybe DeBussy began thumbing through his li- brary. It wasn't there. He ran- acked the country for DeBussy rcises. And finally he found it the first eight bars of a long ercise he used to practice as ap- old He 1938 vegue for size. It lost a cub.

But the first cight bars were lovely. So he communicated with deBussy estate abroad and ad- vised them of his intentions of building a modern song around DeBussy's “lead.” The governors of the estate were horrified, also hast.
