Threat to Jazz
StirS Alice Lake

A LICE LAKE, the Metro star,
~ who first scared to fame as a
dancer amid the strains of
the 1914 jazz craze, Is now alarmed
at the movement headed toward
the suppression of jazz music.
ITO say that jazz brings in its
train, drink, drugs, and social Inn
moralities, is to libel the American
people" she said. cit libels them
because the big majority of Ameri-
can households are more or less ad-
dicted to jazz. IL is the word
household that confirms my be-
lief in the sanity of jazz. Jazz has
come into the homes. And coming
into the homes II has made them
happier places to live IN.
"I recall how, when was at
tending Erasmus Hall High School
in Brooklyn. we used to go jazzing
from house to house. And we were
a happy, healthy harmless, crew.
When i left school to give exhi-
bition dances at the Waldorf-As-
toria Hotel I'm New York was
warned / might run into a danger.

could see, the crowd was much
the same sort as the school crowd
only older and with more money to

necessary outlet for super
abundance Of physical energy I
trust most Americans have a super
abundance Of energy. And / hope
nothing win be done to stop its
