Today" Stars Prove Harmony of Musical Marriages Top, left, the Kiepuras; top, right, Andre Kostelanetz and Lily Pons. Bottom, left, the Chld‘hfill; s e i o AT — bottom, right, Josef and Rosina Lhevinne. There is not supposed to be much sarmony in musical marriages. Somewhere, the idea got around that a marriage of this kind hasn't the ghost of a chance. Yet there is little truth to it. When lovely Marta Eggert, con- tinental opera and screen star, an- nounced her marriage to Jan Kiep- ura, lyric tenor of the Metropolitan, the pessimistic fraternity said that the two singers would eventually split because of their careers. The marriage has lasted five years and the Kiepuras are mow sin; op- posite each other in Puccini operas. The Kiepuras represent only one in a lengthy list of musical mar- riages that have not only proved successful but beneficial to the stars’ individual careers. ,For over forty years Josef and Rosina Lhe- vinne, world-famous pianists, have shared in a partnership unequalled in musical history. They met at the Moscow Conservatory and were married upon starting on their joint concert work. Charming Gladys Swarthout and her handsome husband, Frank Chap- man, are familiarly known as “The Chapmans” to the devotees of the Metropolitan. Though they have been married for nine years, each is successful in his own right. Chap- man gave up his career as @& bari- tone, for a while, to manage her opera and concert work. Lily Pons and Andre Kostelanetz are another case in point. That the marriage between the diva and the conduetor is a happy one can be ascertained by their continued suc- cess as one of the most harmonious duos on the musical platform. There are several other couples —all musical, all artistic, all happy. Lauritz Melchior, Wagnerian tenor, is married to Maria Haaker, who gave up her movie career as the Mary Pickford of Europe to accom- pany him to America. Friedrich Schorr; Metropolitan baritone, met his wife, Anna Scheffler, during the second act of “The Flying Dutch- man.” The Schorrs have been mar- ried for more than a decade. Grace Moore is marriéd to the motion picture producer, Valentin Parera; Rose Bampton is the wife of Wilfred Pelletier, the conductor of the Metropolitan; Efrem Zimba- list was married to Alma Gluck, the celebrated lyric soprano, until her death; Sidney Homer, the composer, and Louise Homer were husbandand wife; Gatti-Casazza was married to Frances Alda, later to Rosina Galli, the noted ballerina; Robert and Clara Schumann represent the most | classic couple in musical hmqry. i dismissal today from St. Ann’s Hos- Jesse George was a surgical ad- the Government AS U. 5.

Kellogg rarely had to patronize dime stores Our recollection is that Kellogg once remarked that the Ambassa dorship shook him down about $20,000 a year and he was not a free-spending man. We would bank on it that Kennedy isn't getting by with so little out of pocket. His $17,000 salary and $50000 to $10,000 a expense account wouldn't last him much past Easter. The three immediate prereces- s of William C. Bullitt at Paris —Jesse 1. Straus, Walter E. Edge and Myron T. Herrick—also were wealthy men, The outstanding early Amba: dor to Paris was Benjamin Frank- lin. While he made himself fam- ous with such slogans as “A penny saved is a penny earned,” he, nevertheless, was one of the rich-| est men in the colonies and his | wealth, along with his brains and | old brown coat, contributed to his| prestige abroad i AN EXCEPTION The three outstandng “men of wealth” now or recently in dip- | lomatic posts are Kennedy, Bullitt | and Joseph E.

By HEINZ HERALD (The screen writer goes behind the scenes and considers on historical films—for Robbin Coons, on vica- research tion). HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 29.—There is an old notion that history in motion pictures must, somehow, be phoney. But go into the offices of biographical story writers and you will find the walls lined with books, magazines, newspapers—research material not only about the man and his times, but also about the tools of his trade, no matter how scientific it may have been. ‘When I worked on the “Life of Emile Zola,” I thought that the forty-seven books I had read about my subject was an all-time high for motion picture research. But a short timg later I found out that it was a cinch to write about a man of letters compared with a man of science. This was sharply brought home to me when my friends, John Huston and Norman Burnside, and I, started to do a picture about the man who founded the school of chemical therapy and conquered many dread diseases — Paul Ehrlich Our work began with research about research. No biography of this medical genius exists. The material concening his work and his life is scattered all over the world in hundreds of articles and papers. Only a few reveal anything about his personality; most of them deal exclusively with his scientific achievement. You have to read German, French and English even to get to these sources; moreover, you have to understand medical jargon.

Try it} NOW AT Perey’s éxclfiifvuiy Dan Dy you that to study all this is hard on the writer who usually works with human relationships. But there is no other way out: you have to burrow through these mountains of essays, to consult experts, to talk with people who may be able to tell you something about your heros personal traits—and the job soon be- comes fascinating. Of course, you digest far more knowledge than you put into vour final script. You become the friend of your character; you start to live in this strange world. Naturally, life is not a motion picture story. You cannot merely set down a record of events—you have to dramatize them. And here is where the difference between good and bad writing begins. A biographical writer may rearrange facts, even inyent others: but he never distorts the “inner truth” of a story er a character. The paramount need for this kind of writing is time—plenty of time. Sufficient research has to be done; the story has to ripen slowly; cooperation between the actor, Edward G, Robinson; the director, William Dieterle, and the writer Has to be estab- lished. More than a vear’s time was allotted to the script of the Ehrlich film—proof that the producers appreciate the aifficuitles of the task With the new themes it has chosen, the motion picture industry has grown up to a new cultural standard.
