ans brings something new to swing---an oca-
rina played in the best hot style. The chap
has created quite a sensation on the airways
lately. On this pair the lad is backed by a
standard 4-piece rhythm section and a trum-
pet. The singing puts it over . The new, and
meaty lyrics are great. It will take two discs
to get the full value. Recommended.
LEO REISMAN (0) 25790
THE MOON OF MANAKOORA (Waltz)
LOVE WALKED IN (FT)
The suave style of Reisman 's combo. is
paramount on the recordings of these two
numbers. Beautiful examples of modern fox-
trot music. Vocals are worthy of comment
and an orchid to Felix Knight.
VOCALION
BOB SYLVESTER ( 0 ) 3946
I SEE YOUR FACE BEFORE ME (FT)
DOWN WHERE THE TRADE WINDS
BLOW (FT)
Two picture tunes done in true showman-
ship style. The vocals are particularly well
handled. All in all it's a danceable disc and
should coax the silver.
BILLIE HOLIDAY ( 0 ) 3947
ON THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE (FT)
NOW THEY CALL IT SWING (FT)
Slow, moanin' hot . . . and terrific! When
Billie lets loose, let the Saints help us. This
is a great record for dance spots. Billie does
vocals throughout. It's really swell.
HOOSIER HOT SHOTS (N) 3949
I AIN'T GOT NOBODY
VIRGINIA BLUES
A hot dance natural. Everybody knows and
loves "I Ain't Got Nobody." After they hear
the Hot Shots' arrangement and rendition
they'll buy the privilege of hearing it over
and over again. It's coppasetic. Coupling is
weak.
DOLLY DAWN (0) 3956
OOOOO-OH BOOM] (FT)
YOU WENT TO MY HEAD (FT)
Mike Riley, he of "Music Goes Down and
Around" fame, figured the nation needed a
successor to "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" and
here it is. It's an infectious ditty that will
probably register big. Catchy, clever, and
good enough to last a while. Dolly does a
fair job of selling the number. Pairing is
average.
BERT BLOCK (0) 3959
WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK (FT)
A LITTLE WHITE LIGHTHOUSE (FT)
Here is a combination that should pay its
way. .First is from "Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs" and is the most popular tune
from the picture . Block and his Bell Music
does a neat job of waxing it. Second is a
straight foxtrot favorite exceptionally well
done.
DOLLY DAWN ( 0) 3968
ON THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE (FT)
MY HEART IS TAKING LESSONS (FT)
Played in modern dance style this pair of
rollicking foxtrots will pass if inspection is not
too severe. Dolly sings and does a fair job.
Orchestra does a nice job with ordinary ar-
rangements. Good .
BERT BLOCK ( 0 ) 3969
THIS IS MY NIGHT TO DREAM (FT)
I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I? (FT)
A great pair of numbers, beautifully re-
corded. Arrangements tops, vocals nicely
handled. Easy to dance and listen to. Grand.
CAB CALLOWAY ( 0 ) 3970
DOING THE REACTIONARY (FT)
ONE BIG UNION FOR TWO (FT)
From "Pins and Needles" comes this duo of
hi-de-ho material. Cab does the vocals in
usual style, and the ork. does its best. A
swell disc for hot stuff fans.
BOB SYLVESTER ( 0 ) 3971
DO YOU KNOW YOUR ABC? (FT)
SUNDAY IN THE PARK (FT)
The teacher and the pupils give out vocally
on the lyrics of the first number. A nobby
novelty recording . Second is more conven-
tional but equally worthwhile. A five star
dance disc.
THE KIDOODLERS (N) 3974
BYE , BYE, BLACKBIRD
I HOPE, I HOPE, I HOPE
Not to be scoffed at is this novelty recording
of the Kidoodlers. Years ago the first tune
was a ra ge. Rearranged and re-recorded the
number will still get plenty of plays. The rat-
tle bone work is exceptionally good. Coup-
ling is only fair.
TEXAS JIM LEWIS (HB) 3977
12TH STREET RAG
'WAY DOWN UPON THE SWANEE
RIVER
Instrumental dance numbers with singing by
Texa s Jim Lewis and his Lone Star Cowboys.
Loud and suitable for th ose what likes 'em
thataway. A lot of music is packed on the
two sides of this disc.

SAN FRANCIS CO. (RC) - A new
showroom and o ffices rivaling the finest
in the West are p lanned by E. T. Mape
Music C o. this mo nth for their Sa n Fran-
cisco pla nt. The showroom will occupy
the entire front section of the street floor ,
and present offices are being torn out to
provide space for the alterations. An
elevator will g o in near the front door to
facilitate moving of phonographs and
customers. The newly arranged offices
will be built at the rear of the main
floor and decorated in cream with ma-
hogany furniture.
Richard Groetchen of the Groetchen
Tool Co. of Chicago paid a visit to San
Francisco this month, and named Mape
distributor for Groetchen equipment in
California, Oregon, Washington and
Utah. Already Ed Mape reports size-
able sales on Ginger, Bell Fruit and
small counter games.
With his auditor, Carl Anderson,
Mape is now spending two days a
week in his Los Angeles office. Asked
how he liked the life of a traveling man,
Ed replied, "It's still new to me," which
is a very broad statement in itself.
Mape, Bally distributor, has named
Golden Gate Novelty Co., under the
management of Mrs. Felice Church, an
additional outlet for Bally equipment.
Mrs. Church reports that Bally Reserve
is tops in the game line at present, but
adds that Bally Zephyr is not far be-
hind. Austin Bennett, formerly with O.
K. Novelty C o. and the Jack R. Moore
office in San Francisco, has been added
to Golden Gate's mechanical staff.
