Syncopated Music
For Passing Show

So successful has the syncopated
orchestra proved at the Winter Gar
den, where it was introduced for the
premiere of 1.-The Passing Show of
1928" that the Messrs. Shubert have
commissioned Alfred Goodman. their
general musical director and conductor
of the orchestra, TO organize similar
bands for other musical productions
which they will present next season.
These bands will be modelled after the
Winter Garden orchestra, featuring
those instruments which are custom
arily associated with dance music. in
Guiding wolins, saxophones, clarinets,
banjos and drums, and the musicians
engaged must be skillful in interpret
ing scores which range from light
opera to jazz.
1.-THE introduction of syncopated
orchestra at the Winter Garden has
proved remarkably successful" says
Mr.. Goodman, land production such
as THE Passing Show calls for all
kinds of music. Grand opera phases
follow dance steps, and then there is a
switch to symphonic bars. Yet this
new band gives the music of the pro-
duction a more pleasing Interpretation
than was ever given by the old-fash-
ioned orchestra to previous revues at
the Winter Garden"

MUSIC STARS AND VACATIONS
Europe Versus the Farm.

II is very interesting to note that
there are two types of vacation of
prime appeal to the majority Of ia
nous musicians and singers and only
two that seem to have general ap-
peal.
The more obvious of the two is,
of course. Europe. with its always
fresh and bubbiing fountains of
music to attract those who live for
music and by music. Undoubtedly
the largest number of musical stars
take the boat and cross the Atlantic
for the summer months. usually COM
bining business with pleasure even in
vacation time and giving at least a
few recitals in some of the European
capitals.
Among the number who have gone
to Europe or are scheduled to GO
in the near future are: Ignace
Paderewski, LucreZia Bori, Claire
Dux, Eva Gauthier. Marie Ivogun
Edith Mason. Frances Peralta, Marie
