Song Writer Hints There Must Be
Many a Morris Chair at the North Pole
By Walter ID. Hickman

10y Nd4DCE LIE A1ACfAIhAnu
Oh, these song writer's sure are
clever chaps.
And now comes the thought from
one that the north pole must be a
great place for the sheik because
the nights are six months long.
And, oh. boy, another heavy
thought, said sheik sure would want
a Morris chair that wouldn't wear
out.
Such sweet sentiments you win
hear in new tune of the hour
called ''Tonight's Ny Night With
Baby" 1t has been limited that a
critic should feed upon only the
great symphonies, but I am here to
tell you today that I like this little
Jingle called 'Tonight's My Night
With Baby"
Probably like It because heard
it first played by Isham Jones and
his orchestra on a Brunswick record.
The arrangement is nifty and has
that needed dance quality to put it
over as a favorite.
Orchestras have personality, you
know, and this generally starts with
the director and ends with the d.
rector. You can't see the conductor
on a record, but you can easily hear
what he accomplishes through per-
sonality and ability.
Although this record is made for
dancing purposes, the record has the
vocal chorus with it's inspirational
thought about the north pole and
the Norris chair. The instrumental
development of the chorus Is a win
ner.
On the other side OF this Bruins.
wick you will find the Jones orches-
ira playing "At Peace With the
World" one of those quieting num-
bers.
Harry Again
You know that I do not generally
like the work of Harry Snodgress,
the pianist. who built up popularity
over the air when serving a prison
term.
That is not the reason I have not
liked his work. His personality nor
the fact of his prison experiences
did not enter into my personal YER
dict. have thought that his art
istry did not warrant the acclaim
which he received.
But since appearing in vaudeville
to profit, his artistry has improved,
If have the right to judge it on a
photograph record. Have just
played his new Brunswick record,
containing THE Prisoners Song"
and Land Of My Sunset Dream"
Snodgrass actually makes 1.-THE
Prisoners Song" one OF rare and
haunting beauty. Here Is beautiful
playing and at times 1t sounds in.
spirational. A good buy.
oh. yes. you can get the new fox
trot craze. Valencia" on an Okeh
record. Okeh sent me this record by
post haste. 1t is an odd Spanish like
affair. built along march lines, but
having free fox trot tempo. They
claim that this number is going to
be big hit If the song pluggers and
the song protectors have their say
about It, And in this case. think
they are probably right.
