The King — he has ruled undi.i- puted in his field — unless oik* wants to be charitable and .say that Paul Whiteman simtld be permitted to share the throne, but at Duke's left, and slightly to ttie •••'tp on a lower level. Not that Paul isn't a durable niaestm. but the obese orchestra leader surely has not produced tho lilting and infectious numbers that have oozed from tlie nimble baton o( Duke EUlngtnn. only to become a part of our world is musical tri' ditlon almost leccndary. It would be a waste f effort to try to describe in words, however graphic, the brilliant career of Duke Ellington.

The wedding of thrge Wluences by Ellington to prodin’o hu,music, found him performing at hfe creative best, and in so deing h| h#.s maaged to capture thc feei ng and imagainatlon of mlllioa.s which, perhaps, explains why his w»k.s are always excitng. and why tl)^' are mperishable.

After the Colton Club engage ment. tbe Duke was featured by the late Florenz Ziegfiold. of Follies fame in the musical "Show Girl” in which F.llingtnn presented for thc first time thc late George Ger- shin's “Concert In F" as a ballet with Harriet Hector as the Baller- Ina. „ Then with thc popular French linger and actor.

Following that, he look his orchestra on a cros-country tour which was climaxed at the old Pal-.'-e in New York, acme of all variety houses in the United States, upon whose boards it 'vas the dream of every performer to tri3d.

For instance, there ,• was much criticism in thc press to j Walt Disney’s current "Uncle Re mus" film. One of my friends in the !
