COMING UP: While "Amapola" still holds
fhe top position, It Is ready' fo wealren after a
record run and funes IIlre ' The Hut Sut Song."
"We'll Meet Again," "Let·s Get Away From
It All," "Apple 8/0uom Time." and "Every·
fhlng Happens fo Me" all appear heading up-
ward to falre Its place . "G'8ye Now" and
"Intermezzo" also have hit their pealr. With
the Mutual net baclr on fhe air with ASCAP
music, be prepared lor a number 01 new
ASCAP numbers-hundreds are being pushed.
Anything can happen In the song field within
the next few months. "Sleeper" tunes re ..
viewed below loom more Importantly fhan ever.
Anyone 01 them may "cafch" overnight.
"SLEEPERS"
(Destined to be Smash Hits
in the Machines}
Man That's Groovey, with a sharp
Helen O'Connell vocal; Green Eyes,
patterned in the band's "Amapola
style" with O'Connell and Bob Eberly
vocaling, and In the Hush 01 the
Night, which already is gathering
many a coin in thousands of boxes.
All Decca.
COUNT BASIE - Try the Count's
Feedin' the Bean on Okeh. It's typical
Basie with some flashy Coleman Haw-
kins saxophoning added. The kids
will eat this up.
ARTIE SHAW - Still featuring his
string section, and his own clarinet
artistry, Shaw has potential winners in
Moonglow, the old fave of 1935, and
Dancing in the Dark, which goes back
to '31. Both worth watching; both
Victor.
CLAUDE THORNHILL -
Reports
on this leader's version of the up and
coming Sleepy Serenade are coming in
from ops throughout U1e nation. The
case here is a strong band playing
strong material. On Okeh. Woody
Herman has another fine Sleepy Ser-
enade on Decca. Keep an eye on both.
CHARLIE BARNET - The Captain
and His Men has a foxy Lena Horne
vocal, foxy enough in fact to stamp
the disc (on Bluebird) as a sleeper.
Barnet's treatment of this catchy mel-
ody is best.
BING CROSBY -
Latch on now
while it's hot. My Buddy has Bing in
his most mellow mood, wit1t splendid
background. The tune is corning back,
with present conditions as they are
and Bing himself has never sung bet:
ter. Decca.
SAMMY KAYE -
Daddy may be
Sammy's biggest disc click to date. On
Victor, it' s almost all vocal, and sung
by the entire band in the old ensemble
style of Don Redman. Tab it.
PETE JOHNSON - Here's a piano
solo which should grab nickels aplen-
ty. Not raw jazz, it's a pretty, com-
mercial ballad called J list For Y 011
which will prove especially potent on
colored locations. No vocal. Decca.
(Sepia series).
JIMMY DORSEY -
And still this
band keeps shelling out platters which
are top money-makers for ops. Late
J. Dorsey items well worth trying are
Simmons Promises
Orders Will Be Filled
NOTHING BUT TELE-
VISION CAN DO IT!
HOLLYWOOD - " Every order on file
with us for Packard Pla-Mor R emote Con -
trol Units will positively b e fill ed just as
ra pidly as th e fa ctory can produce the
equipment," declared W. E. (Bill) Sim-
mon s, Factory Re presentative for Packard
Manufacturin g Corporation in th e eleven
Western States.
" Operators have fairly swamped us with
orders sin ce the Pla-Mor Unit was first
introduced and for a period of time we
were experi encin g some diffi culty in gettin g
sufficient materials to fill our orders. How-
ever th at condition is gradually alleviating
itself and I am mighty ha ppy to have
word from headquarters that an adequate
supply of material is now availabl e to fill
every ord er on hand."
Simmons report th at his three District
Managers have been almo t in hiding for
the past two or three weeks with jobbers
and distributors running them ragged in
an effort to get more Pia-MOT Units.

No Sir! . . . nothing but a tele-
vision broadcast right from my
