We wonder what the next one will<br />

sound like.<br />

From last year's "On <strong>The</strong> Air"<br />

we see mention of RILEY and<br />

FARLEY'S rise to fame and a rumor<br />

of KYSER'S appearance at W.<br />

Next we have another one of<br />

these EDDIE DUCHIN specialties<br />

with vocal by JERRY COOPER<br />

This time it's one of the hits of<br />

the day—IT'S DELOVELY from<br />

tainer we miss ... We read that the musical show "RED, HOT AND<br />

his mother has never learned of BLUE." It's another one of Cole<br />

his death due to her condition. Porter's songs which is reason<br />

His "You Call It Madness" was enough why it has become a hit<br />

indeed a thriller.<br />

Off <strong>The</strong> Records . . .<br />

in so short a while. On the other<br />

We start this week right in tune<br />

with the season. BENINY GOOD-<br />

MAN swings out with his own arrangement<br />

of that old standby<br />

JINGLE BELLS. You would never<br />

know to listen to it that this<br />

was the song our mothers sang to<br />

us when we were young. One part<br />

which is worth particular notice<br />

is the clarinet trio. <strong>The</strong> boys really<br />

do it up right. On the other<br />

for HELEN WARD while she was<br />

side of the record, which, by the<br />

on vacation. <strong>The</strong> first of these,<br />

way, is a Victor, is TOMMY DORvocal<br />

by BENNY, is TAIN'T NO<br />

SEY'S recording of another special<br />

USE, another song whose popularity<br />

is increasing every day. And<br />

holiday number—SANTA CLAUS<br />

IS COMING TO TOWN. <strong>The</strong> vocal<br />

then we have DID YOU MEAN IT<br />

is ably rendered by CLIFF WESand<br />

if that girl is substituting for<br />

TON and EDYTH WRIGHT.<br />

HELEN WARD she is doing<br />

mighty good job of it because even<br />

WAYNE KING surprises everybody<br />

by swinging out on his next<br />

HELEN would have to go some<br />

to beat her.<br />

piece. And never let it be said<br />

that he can't swing it when he<br />

wants to. <strong>The</strong> name of the piece<br />

Now for that ever popular GUY<br />

LOMBARDO, He is still, without<br />

a doubt, one of the smoothest orchestra<br />

leaders in the business and<br />

he lives up to his standard in the<br />

two recordings on this disc. On<br />

one side he presents a semi-swing<br />

piece caUed RIDIN HIGH which<br />

is a little off his usual track but<br />

which shows his ability to swing<br />

when he wants to. On the other<br />

another new tune LATCH ON<br />

which in itself is nothing special,<br />

but the piano playing is outstanding.<br />

On the next record RUBY NEW-<br />

MAN gives us two songs which are<br />

destined to become very popular.<br />

AN APPLE A DAY from the<br />

MASK and WIG Show: THIS MAD<br />

WHIRL and ONE NEVER KNOWS<br />

—DOES ONE from the Twentieth<br />

Century Fox picture: THE STOW-<br />

AWAY. <strong>The</strong> vocal on both sides<br />

is ably rendered by BARRY Mc<br />

KINLEY, former vocalist with JOE<br />

HAYMES. RUBY NEWMAN, al<br />

though not very widely known at<br />

the present seems to be one of the<br />

up and coming orchestras of the<br />

year and he is well on his way<br />

now if he is judged by those two<br />

recordings.<br />

side we have another DUCHIN<br />

melody from the same musical<br />

show. "YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING<br />

—written by the same composer<br />

and sung by the same vocalist.<br />

Now for another one of those<br />

GOODMAN swing numbers. This<br />

time the vocal on one side is of<br />

fered by BENNY GOODMAN himself<br />

and on the other side by MAR-<br />

GARET McCRAY who substituted<br />
