Film Actor Pokes Fun At Noted Conductor
T EOPOLD STOKOWSKI, famed eonductor is lifted to that category enjoyed by the few that Hollywood chooses to caricature, when Alan Mowbray makes a travesty of the familiar orchestra leading mannerisms of the great symphonic leader A bit of “Hollywood backstage” in “Music for Madame,” which stars Nino Martini, Metropolitan opera tenor, gave the opportunity to John Blystone, the director. Io enjoy a little gentle fun at the expense of both Stokowski aud the motion picture capital. In a scene showing the making of a motion picture. Mowbray follows, in exaggerated style, all the pepeuliyr mannerisms of tlie Philadelphia conductor.
