Night before an event Outside the Iron Lung few songs and pick out the winners — before they got into a picture. Hollywood is full of songs. They come fresh out of the pianos and heads of the amateur as well as the pro song writers. We'll skip the amateurs (as the studios mostly do) and just bother with the pros Pros, you'd think, would know their business and turn out nothing but hits. Well, that's all they do turn out, but the public doesn’t always agree with them. The public tabs this one a hit, this one a pretty good piece, that one a dud. But the public lends an ear too late, after the picture’s finished. And if they try out the tunes on the air, they've got no surprise left. Sometimes the pubic hears the tune so much it doesn’t want to hear it any more. Sometimes the public thinks the picture copped the hit tune off the air. It doesn't work. Mark Sandrich was in a quandary the other day over this musical puzzle. Mark’s picture, “Love Thy Neighbor,” has spots for four tunes. Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen, his musical scriveners, have written six. Mark and the rest had de- cided definitely on only one of the four. Mary Martin will sing it in the picture. There's no guesswork about that one. Mary Martin sang it before, the public liked her and the song both. It's “My Heart Belongs to Daddy.” Mark held forth on his perplexity, which he shared with the song writers and all the other guesers. Ssaid good song writers PERCY’S. CAFE [ sTOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches © DELICIOUS FOOD ©® FOUNTAIN SERVICE ® REFRESHMENTS don’t write bad tunes. but they're no better guessers than any- body else. Said, “Look at that Bei Mir Bist du Schoen thing —kicked around and sold for a song and then it’s a wow.” Said, “Remember Over the Rainbow — how they almost left is out of ‘Wizard of Oz?'" Mark and the boys listened some more. tunes. “But who can guess what the public will like?” Mark wanted to know. T couldn't, I told him. My own record for picking hit tunes is about zero-zero-zero. I do better on horses. “I guess,” said Mark, “that the job is still open.” All six were good My guess, if anybody cares, is that the job always will be open. But think what a guy like that could mean to Hollywood. Not only to Mark Sandrich, but to Universal. The “U” is still at it, making movies out of hit song titles. They must make money, odd as it - may seem to most of us, out of things like “Oh, Johnny, How You Can Love” and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Baby.” They've just bought that new one, about Madame La Zonga, to make into a movie. Think ‘what a break it would be for the “U” if they could make the movies with the songs before the songs made the movies! At that, the “U” must have a good formula. Columbia tried it once with one of the biggest hits, and got nowhere.
