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?

Four generations have enjoyed
the refreshing goodness of
ice-cold Coca-Cola. Its pleasing
taste always leaves a cool,
clean after-sense of complete re
freshment. So when you pause
throughout the day, make it
the pause that refreshes with
ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Chesterfield has so many things a smoker likes
so well that it’s just naturally called the smoker’s
cigarette. You always enjoy Chesterfield’s COOLER,
BETTER TASTE. ..and they’re really MILDER—not strong
or harsh. Get yourself a pack of Chesterfields.
