Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

(Continued from Page 56)
THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER-
Another inspired ballad, the work of
Walter Kent and Nat Burton, this one
is a number one plug song and ha s
already been waxed by Kate Smith,
Ka y Kyser, Sammy Kaye and others.
Has solid chance of becoming a Hit
Parade leader and ops shouldn't over-
look it in the machines.
BLUES IN THE NIGHT -
From
Warner Brothers' pic of the same title.
Woody Herman has the best version,
on Decca. with Artie Shaw, Victor, and
Cab Calloway, Okeh, runners-up.
Clever novelty song with a cute vocal.
Looms a s a swell het for coin machine
popularity.

LOS ANGELES-The perplexed folks
on Pico Bouleva rd th e othe r night weren't
wa tchin g a n incensed fa th er chasin g hi s
offspring down th e st reet. Indeed not! They
were wa tchin g J. D. Turn er, office ma nager
a t Gene ral Music Co., pursuing a 10 year
old thief who had just ope ned Gener al' s
safe a nd was calmly co untin g th e cash to
determin e wh ethe r th e ha ul was worth th e
both e r wh e n Turn er c ha nced upon him.
Th e la d seemed undisturb ed wh en Tur-
ner ca ught him a nd countered with " Good
eve nin g, Sir" a nd promptl y made his exit
with Turn er in hot pursuit. Th e chase
lasted for six bloc ks until th e youn g urchin
gave J. D. th e slip a nd di sa ppeared u p a n
a ll ey and over a fe nce--o r so mewh ere.
Anyway he didn 't ta ke th e cash. Wh en
Turn er return ed to th e offi ce he found
the bills and silver nea tl y stacked on top
of th e safe wh e re the young th ief had
left th em.
