word s re gar ding th e metho ds a nd personnel of
thi s sen sa tional musica l agg re gat ion should be
o f inter es t.
Garbe r, bes id es being a whole show in him­

ship, ' and th e only fault to be found is that in
th e majorit y of instances the dan ce rs cease to
da nce and ga th e r around to watch the boys
"p ut 'em o ver."
Thi s organization has been
signed by th e Victor on a n exclusive cont rac t
for a p eriod of time and their first recordings
a re enjoyi ng a wide sa le. Garbe r is having
wonderful success with the new fox-trot hit,
"That Bran ' New Gal of Mine," an d gives the
number a marvelous presentation,
