At Knife, Fork Meeting What goes on behind the scenes when Hollywood comp anies are producing musical films, or music sequences for dramatic films, was described last night for Rogue River Val ley Knife and Fork club. Speak er was iiarola uelman, music advisor for Metro-Goldwyn-! Mayer. j Gelman, a pianist, prefaced ; his talk by saying that basically ; music is used to enhance the j dramatic values of a film, and that the less obstrusive it is, the more successful. He explain- ed that the technique of produc ing music for a film is exactly opposite to that used for "first hand" listening. Produced in Studio The music heard by the aud ience viewing a film is produc ed in a studio set up for the purpose alone, and is played or sung by artists or first - rate musicians, he said. When the dramatic sequences are filmed, the actor must "go through the motions'' silently while listen ing to a play-back of the already recorded music, keying his ac tions and emotional reactions to this play back. One of Gelman's duties is to be sure that every motion oi the mouth of a sing er, or of a pianist s fingers, times precisely with the already-re- Ambassador's Widow Visits in County Applegate-Jacksonville Mrs. Monnett B. Davis of Washing ton, D.C., wife of the late Mon nett B. Davis, ambassador to Ir rael, was a house guest recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack O'Brien of Applegate. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. O'Brien had been friends years ago and had not seen each other for 38 years. Three years ago, Mrs O'Brien, who was in Portland at that time, noticed an article in the Oregonian concerning the death of Monnett B. Davis, am basador, and wrote to Mrs. Davis. The Oregonian article, which was instrumental in reuniting Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Davis, stated that Davis used his influ ence in an effort to aid the new Jewish republic economically, and promote better relations be tween Israel and neighboring Arab countries. Mrs. Davis, who left Jan. 31 for San Francisco, spent approx imately two weeks in this area. Patient Mrs. Eudora Morris, 520 West Jackson st., Medford, is now a patient at Sacred Heart hospital after being confined to her home for several months. 3. Self-Centering. The entire, oversized brake lining area is automatically brought into uniform contact with the drums. Re duces wear and assures unswerving, straight-line stops. 4. Self-Energizing. The forward morion of the car itself helps apply the brakes. You get greater safety, easier pedal action. S. Riverside O corded sound, and to make the actors "look like'' musicians. He illustrated his talk with selections on the piano, and w ith anecdotes 'about movie person alities with whom he has work ed. The speaker said that in re cent years the movie industry had been released from its for mer fears about the use of class ical music and had brought much fine music and many first-rate musicians to the movie-going public. He also said that the advent of television had been good for the movie industry, since it forced the producers in making more first-rate pictures. Gelman closed his program by playing three musical selections. He was introduced by Neil Da vidson, club president. Ashland AF Pilot Killed in St. Lo Crash Saturday Ashland Major R.
