Died. Adolf Edward Wuppermann, 65, president of the Angostura-Wuppermann Corp. (Angostura Bitters), brother of Cinemactors Ralph and Frank Morgan; of heart disease; in Greenwich, Conn.

...Scottish Suite by Adolph Deutsch, Whiteman's short, bespectacled chief arranger; the now familiar cacophonies of Ferde Grofé's Tabloid; Deutsch's Essay on Waltzes wherein the hybrid orchestra pieced together remnants of Beethoven, Gounod, Delibes, Tchaikovsky, George Evans, Chopin, Franz Lehar, Oscar Strauss and Johann Strauss. A blues clarinetist leaped into a long, screaming, upward run; Roy Bargy followed with incredibly nimble piano work and splashed hot chords into the Rhapsody in Blue. Beaming, Paul Whiteman about-faced, took many bows, and the All-American jazz concert was over...
