BIG BREAK His biggest break, however, came with his recording of "Ain't That A Shame,' which alter climb ing to the top spot on the R & B popularity charts moved over into the Popular, record listings. The "Rock 'n roll" conscious American listening audiences rode this tune, (written by Domino himself), to sixth spot In the nationwide pop ularity song charts, and it re mained there for several weeks.

Scenes Go On Exhibit A new exhibit, entitled "Chap el Hill Scenes by Sam Boone," was put up this week in the Uni versity Library, in five cases oh the main floor.

SAM DONAHUE ...heads Hilly May Hand SAX MAN By this time he was becoming recognized as one of the outstand- ; ing tenor sax men in the country. Feeling that he had gained the necessary experience, Sam rejoin ed his .own band, which had re mained almost entirely intact dur ing his absence, and opened at the Roseland -Ballroom in 1941. One night stands and an opening at the Glen Island Casino followed. Donahue seemed set for a long and successful stay there until the Navy called hinv to service and he was forced to disband. In the service, Sam had his own band and played on service pro grams and United Kingdom broad casts. After his discharge, Donahue went back to playing in ballrooms and theaters until his career was again interrupted by the Korean War. After about six months, an old back injury began to act up and once more Sam got an honor able discharge. Sam planned to rejoin his own band but an Offer from Tommy Dorsey as an assistant leader couldn't be refused. It was, as a result of this di versified experience, that Billy May chose Sam Donahue to go out with his already popular band when May elected to stay in Los Angeles with Capitol Records. Debbie Brown will be featured as vocalist with the band at the concert and dance here.
