...vast pre-war array of hit music emporiums in this puritanical city, only the Savoy, on a moderate re-bop kick, and occasionally the Rio, featuring at present Andy Kirk and his atomic guitarist, Floyd Smith, are rocking to any other beat than three quarter time. Gone are the days when the respective hearts of the Boston Jazz Society, the Copley Terrace, the Ken, Maxie's, and the Tic-Toc were young and gay. O tempore, O mores! Some of us can be found of a gloomy week day eve crying in our beer at the Show Time where...
...Crusaders are experienced and huge--so huge that the Crimson front wall should be hard put to hold its present national lead in defense. The Holy Cross line averages well over 200 pounds, and almost all of its operatives have had considerable experience.

Until a year ago, Horace Murray Heidt was known chiefly as an amiable, nice-looking bandleader whose Pot o'Gold had started the rash of radio giveaway programs. Then he tangled with Jules Caesar Stein's Music Corp. of America, which controls a glittering array of movie and radio talent as tightly as James Caesar Petrillo controls his musicians. As agent for Heidt, Jules Stein was not content to collect only 10% of Heidt's musical earnings; he wanted a cut of all Heidt's earnings. Heidt refused and was forced to quit the music business...
