The whole concert pleased even pontifical old William James Henderson of the New York Sun, who unbent to write: "Mr. Grofe presents 'paper' music; his orchestra does not consist of swing men, and never is there any attempt to 'frisk their whiskers.' Indeed it must be admitted that a good deal of the time they are just plain 'corny,' but when the notation calls for it they can make a reasonable approach to a jam session...

They browsed at good road restaurants, brought home tasty food to Tex. Within 48 hours les petites filles had M. Epstein so well in hand that he let Miss Guinan lunch (once) at Havre's Frascati's.
