Died. George Antheil, 58, U.S. composer; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. In the '205, George Antheil of Trenton, N.J. became America's Bad Boy of Music (the title of his 1945 autobiography) when he wrote Ballet Mecanique "to warn the age ... of the simultaneous beauty and danger of its own unconscious mechanistic philosophy," scored it for eight pianos and a player piano, bass drums, xylophones, rattles, whistles, electric bells and an airplane propeller. This made him a special favorite of Paris intellectuals, where he knew Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Mrs. James Joyce, who--Antheil remembered--was always asking her husband, "why he didn't write sensible books . . . why he didn't become a banker . . . why he got egg on the bedspread." Back in the U.S. in the '30s, he wrote film scores (for Ben Hecht, Cecil B. DeMille), abruptly stopped writing music altogether, later explained: "I felt that I was wrong or the world was wrong, and I decided to find out." The process of discovery was oblique. Widely able, he wrote articles for Esquire on endocrinology, a daily advice-to-the-lovelorn column for the Chicago Sun Syndicate, a book in 1940 on international strategy (The Shape of the War to Come). With a conviction that modern music was "intellectualized" and "quibbling," he returned to composition with fresh regard for the romantic and heroic, turned out operas and symphonies that won him a more solid reputation behind the avantgarde.
