SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1941 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE SIX JOLTS AND JARS It is with a feeling of unde- c.dtdnL;^ .iiai we wnie these bits of JoiLS and Jars. Have you ever Qf.ne anyuiinfe and afier- • ...els unable to decide to your own satisfaction whether thing you did, or are doing, (or me best or for tKe worst? WcA, that's the feeling that we are harboring as this is being scribbltd. (And it is scribbling— Don't believe us ask our typ ist). No doubt you’ve heard about the B. M. I.-ASCAP brawl. We would like to take time to ex plain it all to you but space doesn't permit; we have prepar- ea a condensed version of this epoch making feud. The whole thing narrows down to this, quote, BMI says, “ASCAP stinks”; ASCAP says, “BMI stinks”. And there you have the feeling of both belligerents. Us? We’re non-committal except in the case of suicide. Two to one you never heard of Vaughn Monroe a year ago, but now he is in the top-flight of big-time bands. For a band to be organized only one year and to rise to the upper-bracket in that time is nothing short ot pnenommal to say tne least. He will celebrate the first anniver sary of his band when he opens at the Paramount Theatre in N. Y., May 7. Another comparatiwly un known a year ago i; rank Sinatra (T. Dorsey) also came up fast, he walked off with top band vocalist honors in the year end polls conducted by the various tiade papers of the music world. 'laking a cue from other bands Glenn INlilier has added a voca. group to his band in the form ot me ivlodernaires, a quartet for merly with Paul Whiteman. And as you know he had previously signed Dorothy Claire to replace Marion Hutton. Dot was l( r- laerly with Bobby Byrne. Once before Tommy Dorsey backed an unknown song wriiei i.nd managed to smash a record ing sales record or two in the process. "Vou remember “I'li Never Smile Again" by Ruth Lowe. He's trying to repeal thit; by backing two of the winner:> Irom his "Fame and Fortune contest. Tne pair baing; "Oa, Look At Me Now” and “'Vfou Might Have Belonged To An other.” The first be.ng by Jo..n De'Vries, Brooklyn; and the lat ter by a writing team from the coast, Pat West and Lucille Hui- mon. Both sides feature tlu combined vocal talents of i' ran; Sinatra, Connie Haines, and tiic Pied Pipers. Sammy Kaye, Tommy Dorsey, and Charlie Barnet have airead> signed for Hit Parade rad.o pro grams to originate from U. S. Army training camps. Lanny Ross is set to make his operatic debut in the lead tenor ■ lo.e in La Boheme", in Balti more. Annual survey by The Bill board, entertainment trade week ly, revtals Glenn Miller as the nufnber one automatic “drop-a- nickel phonograph artist of 1940. Glenn hit the music machines ^\ ith 17 smash records during the ' \*ear as compared with 6 for his nearest competitor. "Both Columbia and 'Victor arc releasing Hal Kemp memorial al bums. These will contain the favorite and rrlost popular jongs recorded by Kemp’s band. Krupamaniacs will be happy to know that he has recorded his theme, “Apurksody,” on the same disc as "Jungle Madness," two tunes that give Krupa every op portunity to reiterate his mas tery of rhythm. Xavier Cugat and his Rhum ba band have replaced Bob Cros by’s Orchestra on the Thursday night Camel show. This is a re sult of the increasing popularity of Latin rhythms and to somt extent the ASCAP-BMI feud. The Ink Spots have signed to do a movie for 20th Century-Fox. This is their first major movie. Alice Faye, Mischa Auer, and Jack Oakie are also in the flick er, which is titled “The Great American Broadcast”. The government ought to be feiaa to near tnis: Bing CrosDy will get $175,000 per pjcture thie year and his contract calls forj three pics. And the Decca re-1 cording company guarantees him | $60,000 a year for his records p^us; a percentage. Then there are a| few “little” items like the Kraft' show to be figured in. Guess that ought to keep his kids in; shoes for a while any how, don’t you think so? Records you don’t want to miss' Lunceford’s “Barefoot Blues’'; Ellington’s “All Too Soon”; T. Dorsey’s “Swing High”; Bob Crosby’s “Cow Cow Blues”: Shaw’s “Star Dust”. We shall refuse to reveal source of this little morsel in case you are interested after reading it. The baby ear of corn asked it’s mama where it came from — '“Hush darling’' answered the mama corn, “The stalk brought you” — Reminds us of Sammy Kaye—does it you? Bye Now.
