Their appearance on th? program was made possible by President F. Laredo Bru of Cu ba, who permitted selection of the dancers from interior settlements, gave them bark their confiscated “devil drums,” then sent them N'\v York, guarded by Special Commissioner Henry R. Yskuierdo, who was too see that no attemp: vrs mad’ to popular'ze th: strange dances with American audiences. The star performers, who speak ci Iv Spanish and have kept their native dances alive by practicing in secret since the Cuban ban, ar rived in New York just a few hours h foro the schedul' d appearance.

Presenting original arrange ments of the popular tunes of the i day and novelty arrangments of special compositions, Lunceford’s orchestra held those 600 lovers of real swing music spell bound, so much so that half of the huge crowd forsook dancing in order that they might wa*ch the superb manipulation of this aggregation of music artists.

The little Comedian Willie Smith, proved to b? not only a great saxaphone player but also a singer.
