The dance-an easy, arm-in-arm walk, mock-Cockney fashion, with simple turns, knee-slappings and, at the end, a shout of "Hey!" or "Oi!" -had reached the continent, had penetrated even to Scotland. And last week, Arthur Murray, Manhattan dance teacher, returned from Europe with the Lambeth Walk at his toe-tips, vowing to launch it as a U. S. diversion.

The rest of the vocalists, apparently under some pernicious radio influence, had not bothered to learn their songs, so that the Lyn Murray Chorus sounded ludicrous in the insinuating verses of Do It Again: "You won't regret it ... [flutter of turning pages]. . . . Come and get it. . . ." Least whistleable, least inspired Gershwin item on the program was Dawn of a New Day, the "Official March" he wrote for the New York World...
