after a year on Victor, switches to Blue-
bird and his first four sides will have
Dinah Shore as singing foiL A recent
check on Barry's patriotic discings showed
sales of over 500,000_

The International Sweethearts of
Rhythm, femme band, have just received
a lett& from a nudist suggesting that the
whole band unfrock for stage appearances
as a publicity stunt for nudism. "Swing
musicians especially," said the cultists,
"could play better in the nude because im-
provisation requires complete freedom, and
clothes cramp body and spirit. The back-
to-naturalist also cited the savings in
clothes and band costumes. P. S. The
girls still wear clothes.
Sammy Kaye debuts in pictures this
month and hopes for an "Oscar." Glenn
Miller is also on the Coast for flikker work.
