with Ted Fio Rito, handles the vocals very well.
Second side is the familiar number from "No,

HOll YWOOD . - Carefu l investigation
has been made and it can be reported with
safety that H arry Fletcher has broken all
records for anyone individual in writing
phonograph contracts.
Fletcher represents the contract and de-
livery department for the Rudolph Wur-
litzer Co.'s Ho ll ywood District office, and
he has written, personally, approximately
5000 contracts on Wurlitzer-Simplex in"
slruments for Southern Ca lifornia operators
during the past ten months, in addition
to some 400 Skee"Ball contracts.
He says : "In all my many years of ex-
perience in writing conditional sales con-
tracts I have never come in contact with
a finer bunch of men than those repre-
senting the coin machine industry. It's a
pleasure to meet them and their excellent
cooperation with my department is high ly
appreciated.

NEW YORK HIGH SCHOOLS
will teach jazz next Fall ! At least Dr.
G . H. Gartlan, director of music for the
Board of Education, has announced a plan
for giving lectures on the subject, much
like those conducted by Duke Ell ington
for Percy Grainger several years ago at
New York University'S school of music. To
aid in this plan Irving Mills, managing
director of Master Records, Inc., has of"
fered to supp ly class rooms with a repre-
sentative series of phonograph recordings
to accompany the discourse. It is said that
the idea was or iginally suggested by Bands-
man Richard Himber.
NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y.-Ef"
fective June 1, the price of Wurlitzer-Sim-
plex phonographs was increased $20 per
instrument, according to recent announce-
ment by Homer E. Capehart, vice-president
of the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co. "This in-
crease," explained Capehart, "was delayed
as long as possible in the face of constantly
increasing costs, and when made, was held
to a figure which simply covered those
costs."
Canehart also announced that Wurlitzer's
May phonograph shipments exceeded those
of any month in the history of the firm.
"Further," he stated, "despite those record-
smashing shipments, the Rudolph Wurlitzer
Co. finished the month with the biggest
back- log of orders the company has ever
faced.
"The concl usion is obvious," he declared.
"The popularity of and the demand for
Wuriitzer"Simplex automatic phonographs,
far greater today than ever before, is still
increasing."
NOVEL RECORDING
methods were employed in discing Bluebird
record No. 6897, released last week, in
which Harriet Hilliard sings "A Penthouse
on Third Avenue" with Ozzie Nelson's or-
chestra. Nelson, in New York, made a
master which was sent to Holl ywood where
Miss Hi ll iard is working in an RKO pic"
ture. She dropped over to the RCA studios
one night and after about twenty-five waxes,
listening through a pair of headphones to
the original, she made her vocal addition to
the record and did it so well that none but
a musician or someone who has read about
it cou ld tell the difference! And an RKO
publicity man (apparently) who was on his
toes gave it to the newspapers with all the
credit to his studios. Such is life.
