PRESTON HAYS.
It still isn't too late to scribble
about anything as good as Artie
Shaw's "Concerto For Clarinet."
We've worn out a handful of
needles on it, but we want to hoar
it again. We have to mention the
smooth tone Artie displays in the
sentimental spots. . .and the eight -beat
movement (boogie to you,
friend) is super. The biggest kick
is the Shaw clary to Just the beat
of Nick Fatool's tom-tom... no
frills, no special accompaniment,
just plain solid stuff.
While speaking of Mr. Shaw,
we'll say that his "Star Dust" is
our favorite, because of 32 bars of
sentimental clarinet and Billy But
terfield's brilliant trumpet. Re
verse, "Temptation," rates a plus
too.
We just heard Basie's "Rocking
The Blues" which really sent us
. . .sent us out looking for a ticket
to the prom. The "count" really
grooves this one. Solid rhythm re
minds one of the "One O'clock
Jump," and it's just as good. Ba
sic's niano shinp.q of course and
Wrre is an O. K. trumpet chorus
too.
The up-and-over, "Volcano" is
a concoction. . .take a typical Ba
sie right hand, add a bit of rhum
ba left hand, sprinkle with a dark
and mournful chord or two, add
a moaning sax. . .and you get plen
ty of colorful listening. Try it.
Glenn Miller's band rates a word
about perfection. Only a metro
none can set a tempo and keep it
like this crew... and their unisons
are so good you can't tell whether
one man or the whole section is
playing. All of this leads us
around to the best arrangement
we've heard in three packs of
needles. . ."The Song of the Volga
' Boatmen." Only chorus to speak
of is Tex Beneke's tenor sax. . .but
the ensemble is super with its solid

Number one brass hat of the radio regiments is Glenn Miller, according to a recent poll of the na
tion's radio editors. Miller's special way of serving song and swing has caught the fancy of American
dancers more than any other band today, the editors agree. Nope those aren't trench helmets the slip
horn boys are swinging, though the Miller band salutes the army bands three times weekly on its "Ches
terfield Moonlight Serenade." It's a CBS program.

Free Company
Probably one of the most out
standing programs which will be
aired over a national hook-up to
day is the first broadcast of the
"Free Company Presents," a dra
matic production series written by
famous American playwrights and
authors. The twelve writers in
cluding such men as Orson Welles
and Stephen Vincent Benet who
have formed this new group arc
working entirely without com
pensation in an original series of
radio plays intended to combat
hostile propaganda from abroad by
emphasizing the meaning of
American freedom. Hollywood
stars will also contribute their
services in the presentation of the
plays.
Music
Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano
of the Metropolitan, makes
her second appearance of the sea
son on the Ford Sunday evening
hour tonight (KFAB, 8 p. m.) with
Eugene Ormandy conducting. She
will sing "Largo" from Handel's
comic opera, "Xerxes," and
"Amour, Viens Aider," from
Samson and Delilah," by Saint
Saens.
In today's New York Philhar
monic Symphony concert, originat
ing from Carnegie hall, John Bar
birolli, conductor of the orchestra,
will introduce a piano concerto by
Mischa Portnoff with Nadia Rei
senberg, guest soloist, at the piano.
Portnoif, because of the interest
Barbirolll has taken in him and the
suggestions he has given him on
the composition of the concerto,
has dedicated the selection to him.
Deems Taylor will comment during
intermission.
Theater
Drama takes the spotlight in to
day's radio programs as the Silver
Theater, (KFAB, 5 p. m.) directed
by Conrad Nagel, presents Olivia
De Havilland in "Drawn by Lot,"
and Helen Hayes appears in her
own radio theater (KFAB, 9:30
p. m.) as the heroine in a radio
adaptation of the motion picture,
"Bachelor Mother."

on chemistry by Doming
A review of Prof. H. G. Dem
ing's new elementary college text
book of "Fundamental Chemistry"
appears in the February issue of
the Journal of the American
Chemical Society.
The reviewer states, "One of
the outstanding features of the
book is the ability of the author to
write clearly, to simplify explana
tions, and to use apt analogies.
Only an excellent teacher with a
thoro knowledge of modern chem
istry could write a book so inter
esting to students and so stimulat
ing to instructors."

discussion group
The second in a series of seven
weekly YM-YW Bible classes, de
signed to prepare students as Sun
day school teachers and as lead
ers in Bible discussion groups, will
be held in the dining room in El
len Smith Monday at 4 p. m.
Speaker will be Dr. C. H. Patter
son, who will discuss the Old Test
ament.
Unlike the regular Bible discus
sion groups on the campus, which
consider Bible teachings in the
light of present day living, this
class will make an analysis of the
Bible, its history and significance,
and a study of methods of teach
ing it.
Rev. Robert E. Drew, Methodist
student pastor, and president of
the university Religious Welfare
Council, led the first meeting last
Monday with a discussion of the
New Testament. Other student pas
tors and faculty members will be
brought in to lead future meet
ings. The last meeting will be de
voted to a discussion by the mem
bers concerning "Whit the Bible
means to me."
