Thrilling Drama oi
FnirrSeat
Elsinore:
A desperate fight on an eight-
inch girder ten stories above the
street is fully as thrilling to film
as to see on the screen according
to William Boyd, who, with Alan
Hale, risked his life in making
the-eene.,.; jr.:.. - i.
Boyd, as the star of Skyscrap
er," his new v De Mille picture
which comes to the Elslnore thear
ter on Sunday and Monday, was
called upon to struggle with burly
Alan Hale 'for this scene, which
was filmed, on the framework of
a half completed office building.
The width of the steel girder on
which the. battle was staged before
the cameras was hardly more than
enough for a foothold, and Boyd
declares that If he ever gives up
picture work, he will know enough
not to become a steel worker!
Great care was taken by Boyd and
Hale to avoid a misstep which
might hare resulted in death from
a fall.

Have you ever talkedto Oscar
Gingrich about music, or singing?
N'o matter; perhaps you've been
;ne of the thousands who have
tathered at Wilson park this aum

jemi-weekly municipal band coa

cert soloist; he has been for sev
eral years.
What Mr. Gingrich thinks
ibout music is not always con

he concert stand, but 4he first
lumber he offers each night Is the

ach first lumber, if you'll notice.

there are some things not so
amusing; like when he la urged
and finally prevailed upon to sing
something that he knows will be a
flop because the arrangement Is
so low it can not be heard and
it Is a flop. Such was "Romona,"
which he sang this week. There's
no apologising for such things, or
the tim re when the band and sing
er don't "jibe." Small wonder at
that, when one knows that there
is no opportunity for them to
practice together, or for that
matter, insufficient cant read it
the band to pratcice its numbers
alone.

earers who love good music, not

Time was when Mr. Gingrich,
tho sings because he likes to and
ells cars for a livelihood, must
:ave laughed at jazz. That was
'.ot so many years ago, when jazz
'S3 first strutting across the
tage. Now when modern jazz was
irst strutting across the stage.
Vow when modern jazz is easy to
distinguish from its noisy, crude
orerunner, be bears It because
t is better; but to him, jazz is
lot high type of music.
Popular Number Next
It is jazz, or a popular number,
vhich the soloist selects for his
econd song. . It is this which
leases the majority of his audi-j
:nce
Mr. Gingrich sees in jaza noth-
ng but a readaptation of the old
ndian melodies; a modification of
he tom-tom set to music and call
ed jazz, as he expressed it.
How does Mr. Gingrich make
is selections for the popular
umbers? Some years ago he
tarted writing to the 24 leading
nuslc houses asking for titles of
opular numbers that have been
et to band music. Most of the
louses have responded by sending
ratituitious copies of the one of
wo best late songs (which gratoi
y, of course helps see more cop
es of the song.) This year, he has
eceived more than 40 popular
ongs, some of which will be sung
,nd some of which are not the
ight kind of popular.
Some of the best music that has
een written, has been readapted
o jazz, he jointed out, deploring
he fact, but not condemning it as
his makes the better type of jazz
This fact, though, is one reason,
in Mr. Gingrich's opinion. Ameri
ca is not making strides in good
music. This and the fact that the
oung artists, after studying all
oo short a time, plunge into jazz
hinking they can conquer the
jausical world, with little or no
technique.
Mr. Gingrich believes the na
tional broadcast is a great thing
for music, for it plays the-good
aumbers. the higher class music
is . well as the other thereby
keeping the good before the listen
ers, giving them a taste of it so
the difference between it and the
popular may be readily felt.
In his open air concert work,
the local man coems up against
amusing ..things. For example,
when a request comes fchia. a
baritone, to sing sopranic aria : for
some opera or for an unheard of
3ong or for one to which there is
no band; music. And then again.
evei better, and will eventually
give away to something else,
which Gingrich hopes will be real
music.

Fate of Hassell
Plane Unknown
Pulp and Paper
Mills Promised
Alaskan Areas
LONDON, Aug! 25. (AP)
The mystery of the fate of Bert
Hassell and Parker Cramer and
their plane the "Greater Rock
ford" was deeper tonight after
another day had passed without
any report of the American ' fly
ers, last seen over Fiskenaesset,
Greenland. Search along the
coast by the authorities of south
Greenland appears to have been
without result, leaving after six
days only pessimistic specula
tion concerning the whereabout of
the men and their plane.
r 7 tvW mtm instituted it will not mean the
to perform these tasks. Mayor, Hnn of thA mavnr,,tT
Livesley has found that he cannot
perform them because there are
so many other things that, as
mayor, he must do.
Hawley Impresses
Sitting at the Rotary club
luncheon Wednesday; Mayor
Livesley was deeply Impressed by
he things Willis C. Hawley, con
eressman from Oregon's first dis
trict, revealed about the presi
dency of the United States.
The volume ot the president's
mail the multitude of important
questions that he must decide
dally and then the organization,
the extraordinary" Intelligence
service, the elimination of nones
sentials that make it possible for
him to do so much intelligently
all this brought up In the mayor's
mind the similarity of his own po
sition, even though on a much
smaller scale; and the contrast In
the manner of Its administration.
Ctty Problems Considered
He thought of Salem's city gov
ernment; a council of 14 mem
bers, Its important work handled
by 17 separate committees; lm
nortant decisions constantly com
Ing before the entire council, yet
the facts known only to the mem
bers of these committees: ordl
nances coming to the mayor for
approval or veto, yet no machin
ery for Informing him of their
merit or lack of merit.
All the tiny details surrounding
the public business of a city of
26,500 population facing a coun
cil and a mayor, all of whom serve
without pay, spending 720 aggre
gate hours each year in formal
consideration of these questions.
important and trivial, at the semi
monthly council meetings, and un
told hours of more or less disor
ganized investigation and study;
that was the picture which Mayor
Livesley conjured up of the gov
ernment which he heads, in con
trast to the thoroughly efficient,
perfectly dovetailed administra
tion at Washington.
No Coordination
Not only Is there no orderly con
nection between' departments, be
tween the committees which rale
the departments and the mayor.
but there Is no system of reports,
no analytical audit, no method of
determining comparative expenses.
Mayor Livesley doesn't know
