...Likes My Music" by Gene Krupa and added stars is a very interesting record. Done in 1936 (February), it forecasts what was to happen to the Goodman band a year later: loud but powerful rhythm and fast, amazingly technical solos. Benny Goodman (clarinet), Roy Eldridge (trumpet) and Chu Berry (tenor sax) play the solos on this record. With the exception of Chu's, the solos are repetitious as the dickens and sound like every solo the men had made--and Chu's are just fair...
...Concerts Corp., which shares with NBC Artists Service a virtual monopoly on U. S. concert bookings, tried to sell the people of Crawfordsville a concert course from which their own orchestra was omitted. Crawfordsville would not hear of it. So, in order to sell the town such artists as Tenor Charles Hackett and Soprano Hilda Burke, Columbia Concerts Corp. became sponsor of the Symphony's season...
...exciting scene in the movie, in fact, is one in which Dotty uses a bit of a dance as an excuse to assume a very effective substitute for her sarong of old and to reveal somewhat more than two inches above her knees--which fits in with the general tenor of the show in not appealing to one's intellectual perceptions.

Then he greeted frail old George Washington Carver, ate fried chicken, reviewed a parade. After Negro Tenor Roland Hayes had made his radio debut in a broadcast from Boston, Mr. Farley compared Booker T. to George Washington, to Robert E. Lee, shook many a black hand, visited the founder's grave, went on to Auburn. Mr. Farley ate chicken once again (he hates it), entrained for Atlanta, with Georgia and North Carolina...
Night after the Germans pounced on Scandinavia last week, Norwegian Soprano Kirsten Flagstad. Swedish Contralto Kerstin Thorborg, Danish Tenor Lauritz Melchior and German Baritone Herbert Janssen sang together in Wagner's Tannhäuser in Cleveland. Their audience felt a tenseness on the stage. They did not know that Soprano Flagstad had been trying, unsuccessfully, to get in touch by telephone and cable with her husband, daughter, mother and sister in Oslo. The curtain went down on the final swellings of the Pilgrims' Chorus. Flagstad & Co. bowed at something bigger than most opera singers ever see: an auditorium...
