JOHNNY MESSNER ( 0 ) 10282
RUMPEL-STILTS-KIN (FT)
IT'S ALL IN A LOVETIME (FT)
The famous fairy tale blossoms forth as a
rhythmic foxtrot with Jeanne D'Arcy vocaliz-
ing . Companion tune is a slower ballad .
Good .
BLUE BARRON ( 0 ) 10284
GIRL BEHIND THE VENETIAN
BLIND (FT)
YOU TAUGHT ME TO LOVE AGAIN (FT)
The sure-lire hit of Friend and Franklin fares
well at the hands of Barron and his men.
Put it on . Bound to please and draw in the
jack.
ERSKINE HAWKINS ( 0 ) 10287
BIG-WIG IN THE WIGWAM (FT)
POLKA DOTTY (FT)
A brace of remarkable tunes. The brilliant
trumpet playing of Hawkins highlights the
second number. Recommended.

REVIEW
GUY LOMBARDO (0) 2478
ST. LOUIS BLUES (FT)
AULD LANG SYNE (FT)
A sweet band playing a hot number doesn ' t
seem hardly plausible , but when you get this
disc you'll agree it ' s certainly_ possible. Coup-
ling has Guy 's theme song. Very good .
RUSS MORGAN (0) 2479
THE GIRL BEHIND THE VENETIAN
BLIND (FT)
DOES YOUR HEART BEAT FOR ME? (FT)
Morgan does the top number of the day in
s wellegant fashion and corners the vocal
work himself. Worth plenty of promotion. Re-
verse is sweet, slower and somewhat more
romantic, if possible.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG (0) 2480
IF IT'S GOOD (FT)
WEST END BLUES (FT)
Crusty vocals of Armstrong excel on the
"A" side . Number is good and this disc
should pay its way handsomely. Straight in-
strumental foxtrot on "B" side is fair.
ELLA FITZGERALD (V) 2481
IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR
MIND (FT)
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO YOU (FT)
The Fitzgerald name practically assures a
music purchase and the patrons won't be un-
happy with these renditions.
BOB CROSBY (0) 2482
HINDUSTAN (FT)
MOURNIN' BLUES (FT)
Red hot arrangements of torrid hits of a bit
back . Leave it lo the Crosby Bob Cats to do
a swing number up right . Will get plenty
attention.
PLEHAL BROTHERS (0) 2485
JOLLY CROWD POLKA (Polka)
AT THE MILL MARCH
Following the general style of "Beer Barrel
Polka " this one holds plenty of meat . Dandy
recording capable of cashing in on the present
b~~~~ craze. Harmonica duet with guitar and
JOE DANIELS (0) 2486
LIMEHOUSE BLUES (FT)
ULTRA MODERN SWING (FT)
Top-notch numbers for automatic phones .
Superbly recorded by the old drumsticks
hotcha artist himself . Really line instrumental
numbers.
BABY HINES (Race) 759 1
I'VE LOST MY HEAD OVER YOU
THIS JS THE END
True sob stuff with Baby Hines giving her
all. Merits tavern spots .
VICTOR
DON REDMAN (0) 26258
IGLOO (FT)
CHEW, CHEW, CHEW (FT)
Redman arrangements of two novelty swing
songs that will "click" off the nickels in any
spot. The band plays with the drive and
abandon characteristic of top negro orchestras .
TOMMY DORSEY (0) 26259
THE LAMP IS LOW (FT)
HYMN TO THE SUN (FT)
Here is another disc that appears to be
tailor-made for ops. Second tune is a swing
version of the famous Rimsky-Korsakow num-
ber. Great.
MAXINE SULUVAN (V ) 26260
I DREAM OF JEANIE WITH THE
LIGHT BROWN HAIR
DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES
A duo of delightful numbers beautifully re-
corded. Both are lasting favorites .
SAMMY KAYE (0) 26261
CONCERT IN THE PARK (FT)
MY LOVE FOR YOU (FT)
The Kaye recording of the new summer
ballad " Concert In The Park" sets a new high
~~t;l~~d\'{!'e i~f th 0 a~g thfath;!e inJ~~~:ta~~,;'df!
the lyrics iliroughout with the whole orchestra
joining in with brass band imitations. Very,
very good ..
XAVIER CUGAT (OJ 26262
AfiNG ( umba FT)
Second number holds top place on this disc .
Taverns will do well with the number for it
provides patrons with plenty of opportunity to
hand clap along with the music. Clever.
(Brunswick and Vocalion reviews are omitted
from this column due to failure of samples to
arrive before presstime.)
