...Presume. Nick Fatool plays some very fancy drums, and Billy Butterfield takes a muted trumpet chorus in the Cootie Williams tradition. The boys wind up with a lot of whacky riffs which give Shaw opportunity to show a little technique if nothing else. Reverse is called When the Quail Come Back to San Quentin, and Scarlatti would have appreciated what harpsichordist Johnny Guarneri does to some of his own ideas (VICTOR)...Benny Goodman's latest twelve inch recording, Superman, is another elaborate Eddie Sauter orchestration, and features Cootie Williams pyrotechnics all the way through. There's also some tenor...

S. turpentiner, he and his associates grossed better than $500,000 last year from 70,000 owned, 300,000 leased acres of Southern pine. As president and manager of A. T. F. A. he has: 1) borrowed $21,500,000 (1938-39) to tide member producers (over 90% of production) over the industry's rehabilitation; 2) encouraged the building of central stills; 3) produced a standard product, to be marketed in uniform turpentine cans bearing...
