Billboard Polls Record Benckc in Top Bracket When Billboard, the trade newspaper of the entertainment industry, makes its annual eval uation of band ratings, it goes to the nation's 'due jockeys for votes, for it is the men who spin request records on the country's stations who know what the public likes best. Jin the latest poll, the Tex I ijeneke orchestra, which is play- T ing at the Junior-Senior prom on March 4, scored in the top brackets in four out of four dif ferent categories. In the "Great est All Around Record" depart ment, Beneke scored above all other bands with his outstand ing "march" version of "St. Louis Blues." IN OTHER CATEGORIES the Beneke band was the only band in the nation to score in the top five in both the sweet and swing categories. The poll proved de cisively that Tex Beneke and his orchestra are tops with the nation's music fans. Beneke was especially pleased with the poll results for they proved that he is carrying on the Void Glenn Miller tradition of fSd ing the public the best in sweet anil the best in swing as well, something which only Miller was able to do- successfully thruout the years. When the disc jockeys vote in Eillboard's poll, they are simply reflecting the taste of the people, for they are asked to base their decisions on the people in their daily fan mail potpourri of re quests. AS FOR THE Junior and Senior Librarv Film Features Wild Animal Life The results of a new method of filming motion pictures were fea- t -Jwred in the technicolor film, c-5r' '"r.lidnight Movies in Animaland," ' , 1. .. . I library. Since wild animals work in two shifts, a day and a night, the noc turnal creatures pay little atten tion to artificial light. Deer, for instance, it-main transfixed in a strong beam of light. This fact en abled many still photographs to be taken of wild life at night. It remained, however, for Howard Cleaves, expert wild life photog rapher, to rig up a special port able light generator to pen1 the taking of motion pictures at night. The excellent results of h: work were teen in this nictuie, 5 PTV:''"""5 J prom, local swing and sweet music fans can look forward to hearing hits of yesterday and today played by the band which made them hits. Not only has Tex included in his repertoire all of the hits which he has made, but he has also retained all of the arrangements which found their way to fame when the band was under Glenn Miller's baton. Thus the orchestra runs the gamut from "Little Brown Jug" to "My Heart is a Hobo," from "Chatanoog" Choo Choo" to "St. Louis Blues March." Many of the top hits of botl bands feature Tex's homespur vocals. Among these are "Kala mazoo," "Ida," "Melancholy Baby," "Hoodie Addle" anc "Feudin' and Fightin'."
