I’AlJlO SIX Tilli CAIIOUNIAN WI'XKIN.; K'iUlNG SA'l'L.KUAV, JAM AUi 14 I'J41i EDMDMIlTlWnO Slim III-ISlii Discuss Concert-Theatre Plans Over Coffee for Two K atherine dunham and Edward Matthews are two of the most power* ful box office names, They made the Xmas season merrier for New Yorkers by exhibit ing the results of their creative talents. Miss Dunham entertained the press and hundreds of dance lovers at a press party for her dance school and theatre On West Forty-Third street in the heart of greater Nev York. Mr. Matthews won the applause reviews from the critics while entertaining l,i00 music lovers at Town Hall Dec. 23rd. Stovall, our staff photographer, caught Miss Dunham and Mr. Matthews planning to enjoy some coffee the day before Xmas— with Miss Dunham preparing several cups of the great American before during — and after meal beverage. Miss Dunham, as busy M she is, has ample assistance in preparing her meals at her exclusive Park Ave. pent house apartment but we nab her doing the domestic honors preparing coffee. She looks as artistic in the kitchen as she does on the stage which goes to show chat there is a place for art even in the preparation of coffee. Stovall was so impressed that he took an unauthorized shot of Miss Dunham's hand to prove his point. Miss Dunham stated to Matthews that while she was studying the South Ameri can dance she learned that (here are four principal factors which determine the ]ualicy of brewed coffee: flavor, aroma, strength, and clarity. of all coffee used in America comes from Brazil, Co lombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatamala, Mexico, and Venezuela. Mr. Matthews is also well versed in South American customs. He recently completed iiis fourth tour of tlie countries jusr men tioned. He and Mi.>s Dunham agreed that one can't make good coffee by guessing at the proportions. In Order to be sure that you get the correct brew, it is better to get a National Standard Coffee Association meas ure which holds the proper proportion of coffee for every three-fourths cup of water. Miss Dunham made six cups of coffee, three for herself and three fc.* Matthews. She used six standard measures of her brand of coffee. Matthews told Miss Dunham to add the seventii full measure because he didn't believe this coffee was strong enough. Soon the delicious beverage was ready and Miss Dunham served Matthews and herself several full cups. It was delicious, as you can see by the way they smilingly lingered over their emptied cups and talked of Miss Dunham's plans for her dance recital early in 1946 at Carnegie Hall, and the dances she is preparing for the new Richard Kollmar show "Danny SEEIN’STARS WITH DOLORES CALMS NEW YORK CITY CNS) — RO CHESTER IN PREVIEW ~ MOM’S New York studios kjiv«* a Siirpiisi'" pievifw liere lust week wlu'ii th/ invited the pre.ss and Iho neighbor hood to see the fiisl N.

I "Well.” he continued. "I know what you want to know." "You do, huh?" I quipped. "Sure, you reporters always ask about how we did on the road and what numbers the fans went for most of all,” Kenny said, showing that popular broad grin of his that baa made him a favorite with every one. “But not to spoil your Inter view, Ted." be added, "actually, what Is it this time that you’d like to know?" - ) "I’m anxious to learn what type of songs the crowds are going for In various sections of the country. Do they Ilk- blues, swing or — ?" ^ "Ballads." Kenny broke In and at the same tijne waved a "beg par- ,doo’‘ aa be did. t ^“Sweet stuff, hub?" a "Precisely, Ted," BUI pointed out.

Co-ordination / "In our trip throughout the coun- |try; north, south, east and west, I ,tOQk particular notice of the re action between the various types of songs that the fans went for In a big way." The tenor singer changed toto a pair of bright pajamas and donned a bright cardinal nilk robe aa he went on to explain the trend of music cross-country. I made it known to him that al though there was a re^blrth of the blues taking place that swing too came in for its share of plaudits. I agree with you, ofl man."

But the Ink Spots, we prefer to be sweet on the aolid Bide—and ballads does it." • The telephone rang somewhere outside the dressing room and I could bear it above the laughter of the crowd of carefree diversion seekera who had jam-packed the Zanzibar. A knock came at the door and almost Instantly Coleman, Kenny's valet, sprung the door open. "Bill Kenny wanted on the ’phone," A voice uttered. "Excuse me, Ted." and Kenny left hurriedly.
