...Bobby Hackett's "Sunrise Sercuade" is a beautifully restrained affair that fits down to the last note--highly recommended . . . "Wizzin' The Wizz" and "Denison Swing," supposedly featuring the rather tiresome but flashy two fingered piano of Lionel Hampton, really shows the fine drumming of Cozy Cole and sax by Chu Berry . . . "Shangri-La" (Les Brown) has some unusual and beautiful changes, though it sounds somewhat like "Chant of the Weed...
Disc-ussing: Commodore has put out some very fine records lately, among them a solo by Jess Stacy, who gets all to few opportunities to show what excellent piano he can play.

In Canton, "The Birthplace of the Chinese Revolution," impassioned telegrams were received from Chungking in which Chinese President Dr. Lin Sen and Dr. Sun Fo, son of Dr. Sun Yatsen, "the Father of the Republic," exhorted the Cantonese to "defend your sacred soil...
