Dear Mae Tinée: Do you never tire of jazz orchestras and their clown conductors? The pleasure of seeing really fine pictures is being ruined for me and my husband by this jungle jazz (it can't be music) and by the rumble and roar of the pipe organ.
I believe the average movie fan likes to rest and relax while viewing a picture, and would appreciate a soothing musical program, for the greater part of the picture, whereas our nerves are strained to the breaking point with jazz, jazz, jazz, and the terrible noise of the organ.
Each organist seems to be trying to break and burst the organ, if such were possible.
Please, Miss Tinee, help us to have moderately loud music—and less jazz.
