MOVIES MOVIES September. Raises the Curtain on a New and Promising Movie Season 8 THE SOUND TRACK Frank Copra's Film Treatment of 'You Can't Take It With You' Proves Once More That He Likes His Fellow Men Bit Arthur Pollock SOMETHING about the work of Frank Capra seems to indicate that he is fond of the human race at least, in principle. Ofcourse.it might be that in reality has only contempt for his fellow men and makes the Character the motion pictures he directs likable because, wise in the ays oi audiences, lie knows people like to think this is the best of nil possible worlds filled with heroes. Anyhow man so clever as he knows that an nudieneo is mere iiuetested in what Happens to characters they like than characters who leac them cold. My guess would be that Mr.

is no', merely shrcw.1. that he likes and understands the folk In rm.v.os even belter than public likes them. i CAy mi rsL Films Threaten To Become 'Art' Many Colleges Are Adding Motion Picture Study to Curricula HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 3 It is heartening in the light of the commercial pursuits of the cinema to find that it also is lending an attentive ear to academic Interest in the arts and sciences of the celluloidal. medium.

Individual studios and their producers association are cooperating freely with the institutes of higher learning for whatever advantages that may accrue. The study of one phase or another of cinematography i.s becoming increasingly evident on the curricula of vine-clad campuses the country over and the daddy of such courses is the boast of Hollywood's adjacent University of Southern California, which took" the first step hi this direction just 10 years ago. It now bestows both bachelors and masters degrees on the subject. Similarly U. S.

The season of the new Sunrise Drive-In Theater on the Sunrise Highway, between Valley Stream and will not end with the vacation season but will continue until about, the middle of November, Max Rothstein, its sponsor, announced this week. In New England, where several of these unique theaters are in existence, the season lasts through the month of October, and Mr.

Rothstein expects at least two additional weeks in the milder 0 U' -Viv at Los Angeles, provides extension courses on the cinema. And of lute both Harvard and Dartmouth have announced the establishment of courses on the subject. Nor has the field been restricted to universities. The Los Angeld board of education has given the idea its blessing for elective study in the city high schools and the Los Angeles Junior College, a State institution, has a well-established course in motion picture appreciation. Although technically versed individuals have begun to filter into the studios from the various campuses, there's bscn little or no evidence of a trend in the opposite direction, from studio to campus.

None, that is, until the past week when Mickey Rooney, whose performance in "Love Finds Andy Hardy" has won him stardom By acclamation, let it be known he will enroll this Fall at U. C. L. A. to study, among other things, dramatics.

He thinks it will be good experience. By contrast, Deanna i Olympe Bradna and Shirley Temple will have won their, academic, spurs within studio walls, availing themselves of the excellent, and withal compulsory, educational facilities maintained at studio expense. But their training in cinematography will have been gained entirely from practical experience. Their schoolroom courses are limited to conventional subjects.

In all, the orchestra consists of only eight pieces. Every eight bars, a different instrument picks up the melody, giving an impression of immense variety, yet never losing the tune. "In other words," Morros continues, "we substitute simplicity and ingenuity for the wildly discordant disharmonies of the present swing music. We use, among other things, an accordion and a harp, when playing 'zing music' It is the kind of music that, while being embraced by sophisticated musical highbrows, is at the same time 'crowd Filming Scenes for The Valley of the Giants' in California's Redwood Country Presented Many Obstacles The mod natural thing to do is 'supposed to occur In 1902. such not always the thing that can be thinSs as axes, taws, ropes, cables.

Florence Rlrft tr Swing to Zing 'Zing' Music in 'Sing You Sinners' Is Newest Innovation will become "zing-cats," if Hollywood predictions come true! Boris Morros. Paramount' musical director and one of the leading authorities in his field, says that the type of music introduced in Bing Crosby's latest picture, "Sing You Sinners," now playing: at the Fox Theater, is the greatest innovation in rhythm since jazz itself was invented, Calling it "zing music," he predicts that as soon as the public catches hold of it, It will make "swing'' seem as out-of-date as high-buttoned shoes and horsehair sofas. ''What all the boys have been trying to do is cover up the melody of popular tunes with trick playing as we would say," says Morros.

"But the vogue for that is rapidly going out. "The new technique we are introducing in 'Sing You Sinners' Is to keep the melody simple, getting our effects through variety rhythm. "For example, we use only two melody instruments, the violin and trumpet (the saxophone is out), and NORMA SHEARER SfOTION Ilf -JCTSJSWa N.Ullll.r Temple. Little Miss Rroadvrav. G.
