It will then proceed to Warsaw for a three-day stop and from there to Moscow for five or more days.

(Nevertheless, Critic Paderewski's first public performance on his coming U. S. tour will be a broadcast over the NBC-Blue network.) About jazz he is more tolerant. Says he: "To be frank, I detest it. But it can be used judiciously." Secretary Sylwin Strakacz, a confirmed swing fan, has long tried to get Paderewski interested in boogie-woogie, but the upshot of his efforts...
