Summer heat waves had little effect, appa rentiy, upon tne words-and-music men. Soaring temperatures did not distract them from their sen timental moods.

Many a ditty has been written about the weather, but it is invari ably concerned with some pleasing aspect of the elements—“rain on the roof," “the sunny side of the street,” "a garden in the rain,” the countless manifestations of moon shine, “sweet summer breeze,” "in the good old summer time” and so on ad infinitum. The tunemen, in deed, have always glorified the weather, hymned it as peculiarly than upon the general subject of heat. As a salute to summertime dietary indiscretion Leonard Whitcup and Walter Samuels once wrote a thin* called ‘‘Hot Dogs and Sarsaparilla.* There is a tune titled “Hot and Dry.” There is another one bearing the name, "Hot as a Summer's Day.” 4-p 0 There, i.t the old familiar, “Mat Time in the Old Town Tonight," but the title had reference to 0 fire in a Louisiana village which the tune's author, Theodore Metz, sum from a railway coach while louring with the McIntyre and Heath min strels. There are also such song labels as "Hot Foot," “Hot Spell," "Hot Stuff," "Hot Voodoo" and, as an indication of the influence of Metz’ song, there is a "Hot Time in Hew Orleans Tonight." But songs about heated weather are few and far between. Maybe, it's just as well. Jimmy Cavanagh, songwriter, has furnished the name for a new Gotham night spot—the Jitter Bug House. .

The heat didn't yet him down. In fact, it lifted him to new hip-shaking heights. Inci dentally, Berlin is the exception which proves the rule that song writers are not affected by the heat. His is the only song in all of ASCAP's teeming records that is concerned toiiJi a heat wave. The list* are comfortably free of heat reference* There are not more than a dozen ditties in songwriting history that carry any suggestion of heat. The most popular is “Hot Lips," by Henry Busse and Lou Davis, but this song is more per tinent to a spell which jazz has exerted upon a trumpeter's mouth this Fall. If the vogue is passing it is undoubtedly due to the over-use of the word “swing" itself and to the monotonous readiness with which so many bands palm off in ferior commercial jazz as swing. It is our guess that the really first class swing outfits will con tinue to be popular, and by first class we mean those which go in for improvised and unscheduled hi de-ho instead of familiar arrange ments of hot tunes. That there is a definite return to sweet music is indicated by various contests now being held, in which patrons are asked if they prefe* sweet or swing. A few months ags patrons were not consulted.
