S. tourists and European refugees gather in Rio in shiploads for carnival, samba schools of black natives dance and sing nightly the rousing new carnival songs in feverish rehearsal for the Big Festa. Brazil, strange land »f contrasts, is perhaps ‘the only country in the world this year where a nation-wide festi- val of unrestrained joyous song 4 dance takes place. Facing sombre world, and accepting many refugees as it can, il is striving to create this year an international in which all nationalities may join. Even the dull-eyed refugees “passing through,” may glean some hours of happiness along 1ese shores. For in this hectic al rush, bright-eyed black ities and lovely Portuguese pirls wear similar crowns; King Samba, great Brazilian, hqads nightly parades, and prejudices carnival The Carmen Miranda, the “Brazilian Libyan campaign. Bombshell,” is at left. Alove is a crowd in one of Rio’s swanky cafes during carnival {ime in the last week of February. of race and creed and color are forgotten. Samba schools of black peo- ple, samba clubs grown out of old-time Rancheros and Tornos of the Bahiana Carnival, sing songs spontaneously composed on the inspiration of the mo- ment. They poke good-natured is solemnly crowned each year; they make up songs to the fascinated rows of tourists who watch from hotel windows. ‘The samba schools in the suburbs and on the hills of poorer peoples near Rio, are where the real spirit of carnival begins and spreads until it grips the whole of Brazil. High and low dance and sing together in street carnivals, ballrooms and great festas. Influence of the Norte Americanos is felt this year in the introduction of jazz bands in ballrooms. And many a new samba song is infected with the rhythm of the “fawkis- tritie” which all of Brazl is fast learning to dance. Smart cafe society of Rio, gathering at Copacabana Casino, Urca and other night clubs, has long ago adopted the fox-trot as a favor- te. Most of Brazil's new sambas and marcos are composed to the strumming drum melody pla:ged by the fingertips on tiny match-boxes. The young com- posers invade singing groups, clubs and even business offices, wherever they can get a group started they sing their songs. Tapping out the rhythm on the drum up “singing trage” make their own songs popular for carnival. From these beginnings, the songs are carried to the farthest jungle villages of Brazil, by ragged groups of black “trova- dores” who wander down the highways with primitive hand- made instruments, earning their way by spreading pleasure and song. The radio’s magic spreads the new songs too, and by carni- val time, the popular ones are recorded and played widely. Huge song festas bring into Rio from all the country round the samba schools and clubs, each singing lustily its own new songs, greeted by cheers when the song is liked. And after hearing it once, the mass of singers picks it up eagerly and before the evening is out, some twenty new samba songs are acclaimed by popular consent the carnival songs. Whenever the musicians pause, tiny bonfires are lighted, so that drums may be heated and softened. And as the eve- ning progresses, the booming rhythm grows louder and louder. Samba leaders call on the dancers to give their utmost. Women dancers are “possessed” and rolling hips, moving knees, twitching shoulders and jerking heads respond to the rhythm of samba. A chorus of male voices joins the female chorus, fine male tenors and baritones take the solo parts. And the whole group moves off down match-box, bright eyes filled with ecstacy of inspiration, they the street, in short shuffling |steps, as they sing. After Bardia, the British took Tobruk, then Bengasi and now are headed toward Tripoli, the largest city in Libya, and one-tinu® capital of the Barbary pirates. wants to play it. Pretending f Pidgeon and saying she “give up her career,” Deanna cut in pursuit of the hapless n, whose love for the mother etly returned. Who gets the and who gets the man, is un- ded in a surprising and suitable n to one of the year's most entertaining pictures.
