Tiomkin Says Movie
Music Scores Can
Be Made Artistic

United Press Intowiaionoi
MADRID (UPI) - The M4
little man gnawod his very
well-done steak in a Madrid
restaurant as he listened to a
lune from the reevie "High
Noon."
"That is junk," he said.
He had a right to say it he
wrote the music.
The man was Dimitri Tiom
kin, one of the most successful J
mm score composers in me !
business, and one of the most
outspoken.
The reason he didn't like the
tune being played?
"It's the worst piece in the
picture," he explained. "Why
they don't play other parts
which are better?"
Tiomkin, who was in Madrid
to score the music for Samuel
Bronston's latest motion picture
epic, "The Fall of the Roman
Empire," said he believed mo
vie mood music could be artis
tically as great as great music
written before the days of the
silver screen.
"In fact," he said, "I try to
do it."
He added: "As a man on a
different side of the desk from
critics, I don't give a hoot
about what they are writing
about me, I never learn any
thing from critics, only from
musicians."
He admitted, however, that
he was not always proud of
the way his music turned out
on the screen sound track.
"In movies they keep mixing
together horses with scherzo.
It makes a terrible sound.
You write a beautiful sonata
and what do you hear? Horses.
I never recognize my music
after the sound track is mix
ed." The holder of four Academy
Awards for music became more
explicit.
"Producers, each one is dif
ferent what they do with mu
sic," he said. "With Stanley
Kramer, the music practically
comes out the same. Never,
Bronston is a son of a bee to
work for, full of enthusiasm,
but he doesn't destroy music.
Don't tell him I say so, I work
for him.
"I compare Bronston with
Mike Todd. Nobody in the busi
ness would say his pictures
were good or bad. All they
would say was that Mike makes
two million."
Tiomkin, who studied music
in St. Petersburg under Felix
Blumenfield, the teacher of oth
er famous musicians like Vladi
mir Horowitz and Simon Ba
rere, spent most of his life as

Between 1930 and 1933, he
confessed, "I did many stinky

He has never forgotten that
he is an artist.

he remarked, "but it still can

giving the film form.
"Music is a control of form.
That's why horses don't go
with scherzo."
Despite moviemakers' mis
takes, Tiomkin is convinced,
the motion picture is as great a
potential art form as any that
has ever been devised.
"But this form requires show
manship," he warned.
"Movies are the greatest in
vention since electricity and
they can be art."
Rubber Band

bands may be small but they
are big business.
Item: Last year more than 16
billion rubber bands were pro
duced in the United States.
That's nearly 90 rubber bands
for each person in this country
Item: To produce this mou
tain of bands, more than
million pounds of rubber wr
used.
The big reason behind I
spiraling sales of rubber on
is that they no longer are 1
ited to office use.
Today they have a thousi

schools, in industry and agri

bands" are employed by p
cessors to hold turkey lc
tightly so the birds will be con
pact and easy to handle on the
packing line.
A king-sized version of the
small rubber band has been de
veloped for industry as an ef
fective way of holding light
weight cartons together.
One unique use is found in
the lobster industry. So that lob
sters selected for market can
be handled safely (and not claw
their neighbors), strong rubber
bands are snapped over their
pincers.
Colorful bands are used by
growers to hold celery, aspara
gus and other vegetables 'in
neat units; tiny circular bands
are employed by orthodonists
to hold braces in place; color
coded bands are used widely by
electronics manufacturers to

gins so scientifically that it
could be decided once and for
all whether this was the shroud
of Jesus.
The origins of the Shroud of
Turin are not known. The piece
of cloth came to light only
about 600 years ago, in France.
Where it was before that, no
one knows for certain, but mil
lions of words have been writ
ten about it and men have de
voted their lives to trying to
prove cither that it was the
winding sheet of the crucified
Jesus or a gigantic hoax.
A priest who devoted consid
erable time to studying the
cloth finally concluded it was a
painting done in the Middle
Ages with no intention on the
part of the artist to represent
it as a shroud. A French doc
tor gave much of his life to
making experiments on cadav
ers and severed limbs before
concluding that the markings
on the cloth were indeed blood
from the nail wounds and
scourging inflicted on Jesus.
Church Unconcerned
