(IntemationplJ In Song- Writing Game /?╟≤ye By JACK GAVER. The odds are always long against success, in the song-writ- I ing game, but the sort of thing ! that has the best chance is a novelty number, according to Guy Lombard??. "It's true that good ballads and waltzes last longer," the veteran bandleader explained, "but a good novelty song has a better chance to catch on quickly. "This is important in the highly competitive market today where a new writer's first consideration is to get recognition. I Tlie quickest way to get that is : %o write a novelty song because i publishers will look at it with j much more interest than they will look at any other kind." Lombardo, despite his reputation for many years of being the . i outstanding purveyor of "sweet" music, knows what he's talking i about, if his record means anything. "The fijnny thing'about people i is that many think all of my big \ recording, hits have been slow I stuff?╟÷ballads and waltzes," he | said. "We've had our share, of j course, but our biggest ones, year i in and year out, have been the novelty tunes. People like to ' hear a good story, and, if that is I told in song, so much the better." The latest record click for the j Lombardo outfit is a novelty called "John, John, John" on a I Decca platter. "It follows the pattern of a good novelty," Lombardo said. "It tells an interesting jstory about the frustration of parents- 1 to-be in trying to think up a good name for the baby. They 'FEBRUARY 21, 1953 can't think of anything more distinctive than John." g. A lot of persons may decide to sit down and dash off a sure- ' fife novelty song after reading this, but they shouldn't expect too much. "John, John, John" is the work of Collins Driggs. It was his*first successful song in almost 300 attempts, i You never can tell these days who is going to come out oh a night-club floor to entertain you. g Jack Entrattefiygwho used to run the Copacabana and is now the head man of the new Sands resort hotel in Las Vegas, has come up with a pair of stars that makes you Jblink.

I Hailed by technicians as the I first true threerdimensional film process, it's Paramount's entry in Hollywood's big 3-D race to win back movie fans from TV. And, I can report, Paravision is THE big threat to television. There's no eye-strain, distortion or polaroid squint. The scenes are sharp, the color perfect and the depth is fantastic. J The studio is shooting a Tech [nicolor film titled "Sangaree", with Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas in the new 3-D process and judging from the scenes Ij saw from behind my polaroid glasses, the picture will make Paramount the Fort Knox of the movie industry. Llzabeth Scott Arlene Dahl tomed to polaroid glasses at theaters? William Pine, co-producer of the film with Bill Thomas, answered that one with: "When sound first came in Hollywood was worried about whether moviegoers would resent noise in the theater after years of peaceful silence." * * ?╟≤ Elizabeth Scott's pals are worried about her jumpy nerves and her yen for seclusion. . . .
