Also, at 9 the members of the I.S.A. gathered for the election dance in the ballroom of the Union building. Clyde Bysom played, and Betty Beal, college freshman, was vocalist.

"Musical Glasses"
Franklin's Find
No. 20—Hollywood, Jan. 19—(UP)—Althought Benjamin Franklin won't get screen credit, the Philadelphia sage contributed a nice bit of business, as it is known to the show world, to James Roosevelt's first motion picture production.
For it was Franklin himself who discovered that passable music could be created by stroking or tapping water glasses of varied pitch.
Filled with admiration for the ingenuity of his illustrious namesake, Dave Franklin, Hollywood composer, wrote for Roosevelt's picture, "Pot o' Gold, a musical number to be played on water glasses. He called it "A Knife, a Fork, a Spoon."
The scene is the McCorkle boarding house, and James Stewart, Paulette Goddard, Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights are supposed to top out the number as they gather in the dining room, using only the water tumblers and tableware for musical instruments.
All this proved a lucky break for Harry Powers, aging and semi-retired vaudevillian, who for 35 years made a good living from playing tunes on water tumblers.
"Musical glasses," his act was called, and for 17 years it was booked over the circuit of the Western vaudeville association. It Even went around the world once.
Powers. Director George Marshall discovered, was the only man in
Hollywood who knew enough about water glass music to instruct Heidt's boys in the art. So Powers immediately was placed on the payroll as a technical expert.
Thirty glasses, with a range of $2 \frac{1}{2}$ octaves on the chromatic scale, are used for the musical effects. The glasses are the finest kind of table tumblers, costing from $60 to $90 a dozen.
When Powers loses or breaks a glass, he replaces it by going to the glassware department of a large hardware store and testing glass after glass with a pitch pipe until he finds one that strikes the not he needs.
Powers, appropriately enough, started his career in Philadelphia, birthplace of water glass music, in which Benjamin Franklin undoubtedly was the first virtuoso.
He does occasional night club and social club work, and when he gets a call like this from the movies he considers it just pure gravy.
