...Antonio Rose was evidence of a new factor in the U. S. song business. It was written by Texan Bob Wills, and recorded a year ago (in Columbia's hillbilly catalogue) by Wills and his Texas Playboys. It was a seller long before Tin Pan Alley heard it. For Texas has boomed mightily as a source and an outlet for popular music. The late guitar-toting Jimmie Rodgers, onetime brakeman on the Southern Railway, helped start the boom, on Victor hillbilly records a dozen years ago.

Promptly she was deluged with silver polish samples, which manufacturers...
...Bessie Smith are dead, but their work was far ahead of its time; only recently has the average listener reached an appreciative stage as regards the jazz they played. Duke Ellington is still ahead of his time, and because his contributions as a composer have scarcely been limited by Tin Pan Alley standards, the public has yet to realize the superiority of Ellington's music over the innocuous offerings of men like Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.
