Capture Them With Music
f By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON
Hollywood, Jan. 2 U.R) It's finally happened. When It comes
to describing Ingrid Bergman, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, et al.,
words failed one Hollywoodite. He's doing it with music.
"Hollywood Star Suite" is the name of the composition just
turned out by Conductor Frank Devol and he's dedicated it to
all the movie beauties who vef
been burning up the headlines
these days.
He said he drew his musical
inspiration from their various ac
tivities. And this alone oughta
make his album a red hot pros
pect for the hit class.
"Each piece of music named
after a star fits her personality,"
Devol explained. "With some
it's fiery. With others it's sul
try ... or ethereal ... or
sprightly and gay.
"The hardest girls to capture
In music were Miss Bergman and
Miss Hayworth."
We've got news for composer
Devol. There are plenty of news-
' paper reporters the world over
who could've told him that be
fore he even started. Those gals
do too much too fast and too
often to make 'em easy to pin
down.
For La Bergman he combed
j the whole orchestra looking for
a single Instrument to describe
her personality.
"But nothing was deep enough
or passionate enough," he said.
"I finally used the whole orches
tra with deep underlying feel
ings and overtones of romance.
Very sensitive . . . very moody.
"Of course, this was before all
those baby rumors. Maybe I
oughta work a lullaby In there
omewhere."
Rita, Devol decided after long
and careful scrutiny, has the
"soul of a great dancer plus that
of a great lover." For her he
concentrated on rhythm drums,
castanets, tambourines, etc.
And here's the way he says the
rest of the glamour babes stack
up musically speaking, that is:
Bette Davis Music that fights
Itself . . . slightly neurotic . . .
oboe predominates.
Susan Hayward Fiery and
dynamic In tempo . . . intended
to show great beauty and sex ap
peal . . . woodwinds carry the
theme.
Jane Greer Provocative and
full of sultry glamour . , . sax
ophones carry melodious strain
to correspond to her beauty.
Linda Darnell Ethereal . . .
violins featured to paint a wom
an in a dream world all her
own.
Lana Turner Very rich mu
sic to denote great wealth in
beauty and material things . . .

Doris Day Sprightly, gay

1 sharps and flats for the girl-next-V
, door idea.
agriculture subcommittee which
is investigating recent increases
in coffee prices.
The evidence Gillette cited
was an article in the San Paulo,
Brazil, newspaper Folha Da
Manna on December 11.
The senator said the article
called for a coffee cartel and that
it apparently was inspired by
coffee interests.
He quoted it as saying the
chief coffee producing countries
should exert diplomatic pressure
to prevent the stimulation of
coffee cultivation in colonial
possessions.
Gillette said the article proved
the need for the fullest lnvestl
gation to protect U.S. consum
ers. He announced yesterday that
his subcommittee will resume
hearings after January 1.
Liars Get Together to Pick
Annual Champ and Yarn
Burlington, Wis., Jan. 2 W A fantastic fishing fib involv
ing the death of a Colorado trout today gave a fabricating
Ohioan the title of the "World's Champion Liar."
The Burlington Liar's club said it's annual award goes to
"Honest John" Goerlich of Toledo "with a sigh of relief and
by unanimous vote."
Goerlich's tall tale related
that, alone in Colorado he
caught a trout on a cane pole
but in his excitement forgot
about his landing nets and gaff
hooks.
He reeled his prize up to the
tip of the pole which he then
heaved out of the water into an
upright position. The pole was
so long he couldn't reach the fish
and he dared not put the pole
back into the water for fear the
trout would escape.
"I stuck the butt of that long,
limber pole into the ground,
drew my trusty hunting knife,
climbed up the pole and stabbed
that fish to death."
Honorable mention was award
ed to Bob Elverman of
Louisville, Ky., and C. E. Berry
of Maumee, Ohio. The judges,
reviewing efforts by modern
Munchausen!, eliminated a eon-.
tnbution from retiring cham
pion L. W. Tupper of Patricio,
Alberta, Canada.
Tupper asserted that the
world's first champion liar "was
a Russian, Ivan Bullshensky, who
did his stuff back in 1920, long
before there ever was a Burling
ton Liar's club."
Judges held that if Bullshen
sky ever existed," he undoubted
ly was a professional, and there
fore was unqualified for com-
petion in a strictly amateur or
ganization."
Tupper last year was crown
ed for his yarn of 2,000 postholes
which were blown out of the
ground and over cactus until
they were so full of holes they
wouldn t hold dirt.
...
Elverman won honorable men-
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Monday, January 2, 1950 7
tlon with his story about a large
fish which towed his boat so
fast he blacked out. When he
awoke in a hospital he was told
he had been traveling so rapidly
motor boats could not catch him
and there was fear he would
starve to death. He escaped a
lingering death after friction
burned out the bottom of his
boat and he tumbled into the
lake.
Berry offered this story: It
became so cold in his town the
mercury in a thermometer
"dropped through the bottom of
the tube and was three bricks
below zero."
A favorite dish in the French
province of Champagne is dan
delion and bacon salad.

Brother Shoots
Sister in h
Ellaville, Ga., Jan 2 (IP) A
brother's shotgun blast nearly
turned a cardboard doghouse
into a death chamber for a nine-year-old
girl.
Schley County Sheriff J. E.
Devane identified the victim as
Mary Van Landingham, daugh
ter of a bank cashier.
The child's left arm, he added,
was almost torn from her shoul
der by the short-range burst.
Devane said the little girl had
crawled into a house built of
boxes for a Christmas puppy.
A few minutes lated, Devane
reported, her brother, Billy, 12,
opened fire at the structure
with a shotgun. Mary, he con
tinued, jumped up screaming.
In Atlanta, the child's physi
cian reported she had undergone
an operation to save her arm but
it would be some time before
he would know if the surgery
had been successful.
Sheriff Devane said the boy
was accustomed to firing the
shotgun with his parents' permission.
