SHARPS AND FLATS
ZL AMONG
Z. THE MUSICIANS
Bennie Moten’s Orchestra seems to
be getting better and better. Earl
Hines’ orchestra would really have to
go to town to outplay them as a whole.
So we th nk Bennie Moten’s orchestra
should compare quite favorably with
Earl Hines’. Thdy must have played
about fifty choruses of that blues song
Monday night. We know one thing,
they certainly hold the record for
playing the blues longer than any
other band that’s been here. So what!
Anyway, all the musicians think
they’re mellow, and they’ve certainly
got rhythm.
Shorty Gray, of the Dixie Ramblers,:
says he wants to advertise for a wife ■
through our column. Now, we don’t
know what we are going to do about
that. So you want to get married? ,
(again?) Well, we heard that mar
riage is a wonderful institution (for
some people). Ask ‘Goody’ about
that- Louie Vann seems to have it
too. He told us he was in love, but
it’s a secret.
There has been a girls’ band drift
ing in and out around here. Wonder
if we will have the opportunity of
hearing them play. That would be a
novelfly. Now, wouldn’t it? And they
say they have a nice band, too.
My, aren't the Synco Hi-Hatters
getting popular? They seem to be
ge’tt.ng all the breaks around here
from all the clubs and now they are
going to play for the Waiters’ dance
Monday.

The style show was given in the
form of a playlet and was supposedly,

Salon- Models displaying such lovely
apparel as lingerie, garden frocks,;
sport and street, afternoon and cock
tail, and evening gowns passed in
revue before a galaxy of interested
‘buyers’, who were seated on the stage, j
as well as the large and enthusiastic
audience seated before the stage.

HAIR STYLES AND HATS
F often we hear women disgusting
ly exclaim, “I just can’t wear these
new hats! I have been trying all
spring to find a hat, but I look horrid
in these new shaped hats. I don’t
know what I am going to do!” The
answer is simple. Just arrange the
hair to suit the hat
The face, the hat and the hair must
combine to make a harmonizing whole.
In most cases I find no fault with the
face, and the hats are beautiful. What
we need is just a simple re-arrange
ment of the hair style
Bangs of all varieties are the or
der of the day. “Forward Moving”
waves or rolls of curls, placed at the
front hairline, are very welcome.
For Mother’s Day, why not give
your mother something personal, yet
different? May we suggest a new
hat with a new hair dress to match?
We have some very becoming and
beautiful hair styles. One that will
just suit you or your mother.
