the Buffalo Civic Orchestra, under the direction of Jan Wolanek. playing light classics at Caxenovia Park.
Presented in co-operation with the merchants of that area, the musical program will round out th events of South Buffalo Day. During the hour performance, two soloists will be fca-
l tured, Audrey Ellis, soprano, and Robert Walter, tenor. Preceding the concert, a half hour of community singing will be led by Walter Richardson. A half-hour of street dancing to the music of Louis Podgorskfs orchestra will follow the concert.
On next Sunday. July 16th, the Department of Parks moves its concerts, titled Under the Stars, to Riverside Park in conjunction with that section's centennial celebration.
«r-Shirtsleeve Serenade
Three seasons ago this column supplied a title out of Boston by way of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. The title was Shirtsleeve Serenade and the source of request was the Amherst Central High School and its Summer music program.
Apparently, the idea of such a caption was a good one, for t h e s e concerts on the lawn of the Amherst C e n t r a l High School will reopen this Tuesday, again under the direction of Bandleader John Krestk.
In their first presentation, i t was m e r e l y a band concert by a student organization with the hope that the community would approve. In two years, all parking places had been filled on Tuesday evenings, as well as the lawn being dotted with the families of the area.
In addition to the band routines of some 60-odd players, Director Krestic has moved in soloists, both vocal and instrumental, and a talent show to round out the evening.
This year, another extension has been added in this enterprise, with an invitation to any instrumentalists so interested to join this concert organization. Rehearsals are held on Mondays at the school at 7 p. m. The concerts on Tuesdays are from 8 to 9.30 p. m. • Soloists will again be supplied by
the Angelus Singers, with the talent show open to contestants on application to the director.

Chautauqua Mask A quick run-down of the Chautau
qua schedule for this week seems to be in order. This afternoon at 3 o'clock, there is an organ recital by George William Volkel, and this evening Harrison Potter will direct choir and soloists in a sacred song service.
At 8.30 p. m. Tuesday there is a joint recital featuring Mr. and Mrs. Val Patacchi. On Wednesday afternoon there will be another Volkel organ program. Friday at 8.30 p. m., as the Chautauqua Opera Association produces Johann Strauss' The Bat in Norton Memorial. Hall, Jacques

Pirates Arrive, But for a Movie
Hollywood, July t t&—Catalina Island tourists really opened their eyes when a Chinese junk followed by three sampans and a battered sloop sailed into Avalon Bay, manned by a bloodthirsty-looking crew in pirate attire.
Then a sixth vessel, a strictly modern power cruiser, hove into view. Cameras were mounted on the bow. And faces fell on shore.
Just another movie.
Two of Six in Mountain Climb

Cinderella in Ten Different Tongues
Hollywood, July 8 — Cinderella versions in ten different languages will be ready for showing by next Christmas, when what is termed a complete world premiere in a multitude of national capitals is scheduled for the picture by Walt Ditney.
Already showings in the United States and Canada promise an ultimate gross that will equal Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, probably nearly $5,000,000. Meanwhile, the script of Alice in Wonderland, based on preliminary animations, has been okayed, and the picture will go into its final animation phase, with release scheduled for next Easier.
Peter Pan is planned for the fore part of 1952, and The Sword and the Stone by T. H. White, about King Arthur as a boy, is on the planning list. Treasure Island, live action, is slated for release the end of July and will be followed later by the story about the boyhood of Robin Hood.

Indian Will Give His Lore to Gable
Hollywood, July 8 — Clark Gable will have to know a lot about Indian lore when he appears in Across the Wide Missouri, it seems. So he will have none other than Chief Nipo Strongheart of the Yakima tribe as his adviser.
Chief Strongheart is known as Messenger of Light and is an official on the National Committee of American Indians and National Council of American Indians. He aided the cause of enfranchisement for the Redman and identified the Great Serpent Mount, archeological discovery. So with all that, another film should go into the documentary class.
Joseph Cotten Pens Play to Star Self
Hollywood, July 8 — Good scripts being bard to find, Joseph Cotten is writing one for himself.
Cotten, whose latest starring vehicle is Walk Softly, Stranger, is devoting weekends to working on an original screen play.

Farrow Finds Player Via Radio Broadcast

straight comedy in the quintet, rounded out the winning five. Melodrama took 60 per cent of the places.
Lately, there has been much to-do about screen titles, with one exhibitor setting down that the three elements determining the success of a production, in their order of importance, are: Title, plot, actors. Another declares that a good title won't improve a bad picture, and countless pictures have won acclaim (and money) despite poor titles. This observer remarked, when it was issued, that All the King's Men, as a title, wouldn't pull customers; that too many would think T* eras a costume picture of an early century. He still wonders why The Big Hang* over, why Killer McCoy, why Cham-pagne for Caesar, and to go into the horror end, why Kiss the Blood Off My Hands . . . Out West, a theater man known for doing the extraordinary didn't like A Ticket to Toma-hawt as a title, so he advertised the film as The Sheriffs Daughter. Ha did business, for his own concoction told the s t lry . . . . Too many dont.
Too much talk, too many problems stood out as the main defects in American-made movies pointed out to Robert Lord, head of Saatana Pictures (the Humphrey Bogart organization) on a trip he made abroad, he said on his return to his offices. He visited 19 cities in Europe and the Middle East. This is the way ha summarized reactions: "Please, no mora psychological dramas (Amen to that!) Send us MOTION pictures. Too many second-rate stage plays, screen-adapted, talk, talk, talk! Wa have enough problems, know all about them. Hollywood used to give us pictures that made us laugh and cry. Please send us these again."*. . . This country itself could do with fewer Western "epics."
Keeping up with matters Far Eastern, plans are under way to launch Operation Pacific, written and to ha directed by George Waggner, with John Wayne as star. That indicates a tie-up with war developments in the Asiatic area.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, who've just completed a stage engagement here, figure to organize about six vaudeville units for touring when they return to Hollywood from current personal appearances. They see a demand in film theaters for such companies. There are those who expect also that Lucille still may have time to star in Blazing Beulah From Butte before she has to retire from films to await that January event announced as impending just prior to her arrival in Buffalo.
Clark Gable will make his flrat film swim in Across the WMa Missouri—a 250-yard crawl the wide Colorado at
The very American movie, Bora Yesterday, is being made in U. S. and British versions simultaneously. It's so heavy with colloquialisms that after a shot for the domestic market, the stars immediately make a sound track for the British. Examples of Americanese and the switches: Suitcase replaces "keister", elevator becomes lift, gasoline is petrol, bum changes to tramp. . . . Just a few.
