...refloating brought him a fat contract, hoisted him into the opera management business for good. Last year he received his most prestigious appointment: as managing director of the white-elephantine Chicago Opera. He and Tenor Giovanni Martinelli, artistic director, put on a season that lopped the annual loss from...
...Basie tinkled along behind him at the piano. But in the excitement of the occasion don't forget the local boys who made good in front of the home crowd that night. There were, of course, the two winners, Burgstaller and Dunn, who continued their brilliant rivalry on the tenor sax later in the week when Andy Kirk came to town, but there were some others whom I'd like to mention here who played more than one fine chorus that night.

It played here some weeks ago, however, and I heard it kindly spoken of at the time. Then there is Johnnie "Scat" Davis at Lowell House, who suffers, at least in this column, from competition with Kirk the same night. You, too have probably sat through a collegiate movie in which his obstreperous jive...
