FOB DANCBBS ONLY
That's the title of the Decca al
bum carrying eight rides of some
of tho famous tunas by tha
late but great and fabulous Jim
mie Lunceford and bis ork. Real
collectors' items, they show the
LuncefOr aggregation aa one of
the top exponents of the jazz
theme.
There’s FOR DANCERS ONLY,
from which the album takes its
name. Written by Sy Oliver, main
stay la the Lunceford brass sec
tion who now sports a crew of his
own. It la an excellent example of
the Lunceford technique tn light
off-beat emphasis. Mate to this is
ORGAN GRINDER'S SWING,
one of the best treatments of a
novelty tune that has been given
a novelty tune for a long time.
Then there's SLEEPY TIME
GAL, another Instrumental,
DREAM OF YOU. an Oliver-
Lunceford shared writing and
vocally handled by OU ver; DOWN
BY THE OLD MILL STREAM
and CHAPMAINE sung by Dan
Grissom, now a single; two vocal
chorea by Sy Oliver again,
SWEET BUE JUST FOR YOU
and FOUR OR FIVE TIMES.
Pick up on these eight rides—
Decca label remember.
Columbia also has a collection
of the Lunceford items, rix of
which were repressed from old
VovaUon label and two from Col
umbia. Album is called "Lunce
ford Special Hot Jazs Claric."
Numbers are LUNCEFORD
SPECIAL, UPTOWN BLUES,
WELL ALL RIGHT, THE LONE
SOME ROAD. BABY WONT
YOU PLEASE COME HOME and
WHITE HEAT, all Vocalion orig
inals; and CHOPIN'S PRELUDE
NO. 7. WHAT’S YOUR STORY
MORNIN' GLORY, Columbia
originals.
HOT STUFF AND BOP
Apollo’s Arnett Cobb seems weU
recovered from his recent illness
as shown by the two new numbers
he authored, and played by his
crow, entitled COBB’S CORNER
and PAY IT NO MIND. “Corner"
opens with a tenor sax riff and
jumps laong with a solid and fast
beat Mate Is a rolling hoppish
jasz do, buttressed by a reed
choir and a trumpet hlghligt.
From Decca’s coterie are two
items waxed by Boody Jotiusuu
ork. SOMEBODY’S KNOCKIN'
and IF I EVER FIND YOU
BABY. Buddy penned both these,
with Sis Ella Johnson blulshly
wrapping her Uttle voice around
"Knockin," Buddy leads the en
semble on a jazs ride that cools
along quite good on "Baby.”
In Capitol's stall, there Charlie
Barnett and his crew turned bop
sters. Vehicle for this excuhrion
Is a piece labelled O'HENRY. Fast
moving, it sets Bunny Briggs in
on a bop-vocal riff. Paired is
Trudy Richards singing the pop
standard EASY LIVING, a la
"Lady Day.”
What Art Tatum is to hot jazz.

Somehow I believe that In later years John Simmons will look

blessing tn disguise. When a man has good stuff in him, tasting de

If he's got real gumption, fas’ll pick himself up and start all over

John Simmons la only 33 years oM. He’s got all of the beat years
of bls life ahead of him. God willing. He could easily have won a
political victory and lost a personal one. He toot a poUUcal battle, but
perhaps he gained something far more important to himself aa a
man. Sometimes when we think the rates are treatlag us roughly,
they are actually saving us for a greener harvest
Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Hoyer finds himself in a happy position.
Not having committed himself publicly to any definite cause other
than “law enforcement" be can’t be publicly charged with failing to
tote home a lodestone of campaign promises. In fact. Mayor Hoyer
can play footle with just about any old body without getting his
political wires 'croemd.
When somebody asks him what la he gorpia' do about thio or
that, he can snap right back at e’m:
• **l didn't SAT I was gonna* do anything about it did IT
Mr. Hoyer to the first mayor in the history of the atty, I im
agine, who won a campaign by keeping his mouth shut. He’ll find
it a convenient gimmick to get rid of annoying characters who dog
the steps of new political office holders.
Minneapolis now has aa uncommunicative gentleman at ths
head of Its city government, who was watted into office on a wave of
gol-dangdest politdal coalition over conjured up.
You've heard of the Hague poUUcal machine and its shlnanegana.
And Tammany Hall and the boys therete? Brother, what happens in
politics around Minneapolis makes those two famous outfits look

MOVIE REVUEB: Some of you kiddles thought my revue of
"Bride of Vengence” had boon out when the only comment that ap
peared was: "Oh, for heaven’s sakes!”
Nothing was cut, dearies!
The Window” The modernized version of the table about the
who cried "woif so often that when the wolf really name, Ms
went unheeded
Bobby Driscoll to Tommy, the tenement urchin who tells such
whoppers that when bowl trusses a vicious murder through a window,
he can't make a soul believe his story. His magnificent performance
will wring your heart. There are no star names tn this production but
they aren't missed
‘The Window*’ Um't overly long,but every minute of it keeps
your attention riveted to the screen. Running through the pattern of
suspense is the sordid bockground of life in the New York tenement
district. I found two very minor technicalities. In one scene, Tommy
lies In his bed during a sweltering New York night He to clothed in
neat-looking pajamas. Not even all the best people wear pajamas
in New York on a sweltering summer night, let alone tenement kids.
The acene might have carried a touch more realism if the kid bad
been pictured as sleeping in his peejay trousers with a bare upper.
Also, fire escapee in tenement districts on sweltering nights are
usually pretty well populated, aren’t they? But these two minor
Items can be overlooked when one considers that the tenement at
mosphere was excellently maintained throughout. The dark halls,
narrow, rickety stairs, dreary apartments are reproduced with real
ism. And New Your housing conditions get an additional slap with
the authentic reproduction of the burned out tenement used sa a
“playground" by Tommy and his friends.
“The Window" la one of the jewels that come out of Hollywood
every once in awhile.
