Joe Whitley;
POOR MR. BARRYMORE.
NEW YORK, March 9 Many
are the legends that haunt this
city concerning the gold hoards
that John Barrymore is piling up
from his nightly contribution to
that innocuous bit of whimsey
called "My Dear Children."
You see, not only is Mr. Barry
more on a princely salary but he
also happens to own a chunk of
the show.
But these riches that he's lay
ing by are mere paper fortunes,
it seems.
If you can credit our own
OGPU, there was that week in
Chicago when he went to draw his
pay from the cashier (a sum reck
oned on our lightning calculator
as $4,000) only to find he owed
the management 11 years.
And keep in mind that Mr. B.
Is shelling out every blessed week
these days the sum of $2,500 as
back alimony toward the weal of
his ex-wife, the former Dolores
Costello.
Life, my dear children, can be
h so cruel.
LAMOUR VS. COMMUNISM.
Miss D. Lamour, who cavorts
as a jungle phantom of delight in
every picture virtually (we wish
she'd quit it, by the way) so loves
this world that she is helping keep
it safe for democracy. And no
price is too much.
The other night we traipsed
around to a two night bazaar at
one of the svelte hotels here to
witness an auction sale of price
less items, proceeds of which were
to go to the beleaguered Finns.
Just about the time we got there
the auctioneer announced that
Miss Lamour's sarong was going
up for sale, (without Miss La
mour) the very sarong she wears
in her next picture called "Ty
phoon." Frenzied bidding took place un
til the auctioneer banged his
gavel. Sold for 25 berries.
Paulette Goddard's nightgown
(also minus Paulette), a chapeau
of Gladys Swarthout and Garbo's
gloves helped pile up a gold sur
plus for Finland.
Greater love hath no woman,
we suppose.
TOO MUCH IS ENOUGH.
Artie Shaw, former crown prince
of the jitterbugs who deserted his
swing band, said mean, mean
things about the rug cutters in a
magazine piece, and married Lana
Turner, is about to deliver the
final death blow to the few faithful
hep cats who grieve for his return.
He will be back, but with a 31
piece band, including eight violins.
What's more he's making sweet
records,
Et Tu Brutus!
DEAD CATS.
Shaw is not the only captain to
desert the fast sinking ship of
ewing!
Fletcher Henderson, one of the
pioneers has given up the ghost.
Bunny Berrigan and Bobby Hack
ett have also disbanded their units
and all of them will join other
orchestras.
Evidently the world fair grand
muftis haven't been reading the
college polls, however, for they are
planning to open up three places
of jive, come the spring. The
Campus, Old New Orleans, and
Danceland will be the titles of
the.se temples of the hep cats.
FRIENDLY ADVICE.
You college lads who read the
society pages and glamour notes
on cafe life here in New York had
better put away your wistful long
ing for a date with a deb. They'll
drive you into Mr. Roosevelt's sec
tion 14-B, if you know what that
means.
Our object lesson Is that Yale
man, who shall remain nameless
(only because we forgot the Gala
had's name) in town from New
Haven to squire around young
Gloria Vanderbilt, age 16, and a
member of that class known to
cafe society and the department
stores as the sub-deb set.
Well, friends, they jogged around
the city, kind of friendly-like, and
then Mr. X (why did we have to
go and forget?) fetched the lady
home at a reasonable hour like
the fine Yale gentleman he was.
On the way to New Haven he
figured up his tabs.
The pleasure of Miss V'i com
pany cost him exactly $55.
But just wait until she becomej
ft full debbie. Just you wait.
Glenn Miller tune
top favorite in
Daily hit parade
Glenn Miller's arrangement of
"Tuxedo Junction" proved to be
the hit tune of the campus the
past week, for Student Union
"cokers" plugged more nickels for
it than for any other song. Jimmy
Dorsey's rendition of "Cherokee"
rang the bell for the next largest
number of times to finish in sec
ond place. Miller's "Little Brown
Jug" was third. Gene Krupa's
drums made "Drummer Man"
fourth.
With four of the top ten tunes
being played by Miller, there is no
question as to what orchestra is
the student's favorite. No other
orchestra rated the parade more
than once.
1. Tuxedo Junction
2. Cherokee
3. Little Brown Jug
4. Drummer Man
5. Starlit Hour
6. Between 18th and 19th on
Chestnut Street
7. I've Got My Eyes on You
8. In the Mood
8. Concentrate on You
10. You'd Be Surprised

Floyd Irving
Columbia's recent demonsti ation
of its "Add-a-Part" records at New
York's Steinway hall brought out
more than 300 teachers, musicians
and critics for the dual instru
mental record performance by
Fritz Rothschild s quartet. After
the demonstration, several mu
sicians hopped up to the platform,
put on records which omitted their
particular instruments and pound
ed the piano, or sawed away at
fiddles, violas and cellos for more
than an hour.
A recent "Variety" item noted
that Raymond Scott was getting
top billing at a -night club in Dal
las, Tex. It wasn't Columbia's Ray
mond, though, but the chef of the
club. Seems the manager likes his
culinary artistry so much he s bill
ing him ahead of the band and en
tertainers. OFF THE RECORD.
Don't look now but Johnny
Williams, former Ray Scott drum
mer and one of the top jive men
in the business, plays those strictly
military drum beats onBrunswick's
latest military band records of
"Fight On" and "The Victors."
The first side is the USC march
while the reverse presents the Uni
versity of Michigan favorite . . .
Joe Sullivan's mixed band from
Cafe Society, popular New York
resort, is now making records. The
personnel includes such swing
greats as trumpeter Ed Anderson,
trombonist Benny Morton, clari
netist Ed Hall, tenor saxist Danny
Polo and Freddie Green on guitar.
Sullivan, of course, is at the piano.
That's Rex Stewart responsible
for the terrific trumpet solos on
Barney Bigard's latest vocalion of
"Minuet in Blues" and "Barney
Comes Around."

these talented new men is Coach
Ed Weir's Nebraska team. The

high school record in the 440 at
49.2. As a senior in high school
he ran 800 meters in 1:56.7.
Matthews a sensation.
Matthews was a phenomenal
sprinter at Chickasha. He ran the
100 yard dash in 9.6 and the 220
in 21.2. However he lias not run
for four or five years and may
have lost some of his old speed.
Best of the new men at Missouri
are Dick Higgins, pole vaulter,
and Jimmy Johnson, hurdler. Hig
gins, a mediocre high school
vaulter, improved sensationally
last year.
Kansas has several new men of
promise, including Don Thompson
and Dick Edwards, middle dis
tance men, and J. R. Jones, broad

Solt, a good high jumper and

best sophomore. He however had

"The Iron Horse," the article
traces the transition of the rail
road engine from the earliest
steam carriage built in 1763 to
the mammoth now coming from
the railroad yards. The article was
written by Frank R. Little, elec
trical engineering senior, and Is
accompanied by nine illustrations
showing the transition of the
steam locomotive.
John W. Cramer, second lieuten
ant in the engineering reserves,
offers an article on the problems
of the military engineer entitled
"Keep Them Rolling." Dean Fer
