According to a poll of ranking
nighti clubs, dance tail's and ball
rooms, swing music is definitely
on thg decline. Veteran dancers,
musicians and the general public |
are almost unanimous in slating j
that bbe present type of hot swing
has seen its best days as far as
dance fans are concerned. One |
band leader claims that whenever
"jitterbug rhythm" is played the
majority of dancers take to the
sidelines and wait until sweet
swing is offered. It Is predicted
that the type of swing prevailing
today will become extinct for danc
ing before next New Year's and
t-hat the oVly reminder of it will
be "Jitterbug concerts" offered
much in the same way as classical
music is presented today.

New York show theatres are
boasting of a substantial number
of hit) plays that are continually
packing in show-goers. The sur

' | the glorified vaudeville show,
"Hellsapoppin," the Olson and
Johnaon laugh hit. This was the
show that was unmercifully pann
ed by every drama critic in tihe
east except columnist Walter Wtn
chell and Oeorge Jean Nathan. Al
though the production is nothing
more than a mass of vaudeville
acta it has struck the nation's
fannybone.
