THE DAILY NEBRASKA Sunday, March' 10, 1940 Broadway Collegian 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 Swinging Along 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."
