CHIEFS

The rapid growth of the circuit
Of theaters founded by Harry
NJ. Crandall in Washington and
vicinity, now operated by the
Stanley Crandall Company of
which he Is vice president, has
necessitated a general shift Of
managerial activities and the
augmentation of the staff Of
the company.

theaters for the Stanley Crandall
Company, has recently reallocated
assignments by the appointment
of Nat CHASER, formerly manager

Chase and the appointment of

words OF Madame d'Alvarez, Amer
ica's greatest contribution to the
musical art.
Every musician who has stud
led modern music knows that jazz
has already become a vital part OF
our art How much it's contribu.
ton will mean in the next decade
nobody can predict, but assuredly
it's share will be large and inn
portant.
"In the dignified and sedate pro-
gram which I shall give with
Mime. d'Alvarez in the Roosevelt
recitals this fall, my own part
will consist of selections from the
Rhapsody in Blue supplemented
by two or three jazz preludes, on
which / am now working, and
which will come before the pubic
for the first time on that occa.
= sion. Later in the program
shall accompany d'Alvarez in sew
musical comedies, such as Lady
Be Good and "Tiptoes.
II have been asked to recon-.
mend a list Of jazz songs which
concert singer might study,
either as an introduction to jazz
rhythms Or with a view to pub
lie performance. The following
list comes to my mind as pack
my bag for a hurried trip to Eu-
rope and is presented without any
pretense that it is complete.

Gershwin will himself intro
duce jazz into the aristocracy
of musical society by appear
ing next fall in the Roosevelt
series of New York recitals,
which includes such illustrious
names as Mary Garden, Esther
Dale, Marguerite d'Alvarez,
Albert Spalding, Emilio de
Gogorza, Rozsi Varady and
Geza de Kresz.
In tho July issue of the musical
magazine, Singing" Mr.. Gersh'
win gives his reasons for urging
that jazz be accepted by the music
world as a serious and permanent
contribution to art. He declares
that the women Of America. as the
arbiters of the Nations artistic
taste, will support him in his po-
sit1on. Women musicians, he says,
have already in many cases given
Jazz syncopations a place on their
programs. but the men are over
conservative.
No student of singing can af-
ford any longer to ignore jazz
music or to sniff at 1t as a thing
OF low estate and negative cultural
value. says Mr.. Gershwin. 1.-THE
study and practice of jazz has a
very important contribution to
make toward the complete training.
OF any modern disciple of the
musical art. 1t can be of positive
benefit to the vocalist in every de-
partment of his profession. The
new understanding of rhythm
which it imparts will simplify and
ampllfy all his repertoire.
There has been too much argu.
ment about jazz-most of it from
PEOPLE who are not even clear in
their Technology. To condemn 1t.
for example, because there is much
bad jazz in the world, is as absurd
AS to "ordemn all music because
so much bad music exists.

UNKNOWN YOUNG
DANCER GETS
HER CHANCE

Many Meyer Davis musical
organizations have appeared at
B. r. Keiths Theater, but the
willard Roof Garden Orchestra,
under the direction of Nathan
Brusiloff, will make its first Keith
appearance this new week.
Mr.. Brusiloff has rehearsed the
orchestra for several weeks and
promises some new and striking
ensemble, as well as solo effects.
When planning the act it was
decided that a dancer should be
added, and a girl dancer it should
be. But where to get her was
the question. To the average lay
man to obtain a dancer would
seem an easy task. But to the
professional it is most difficult
thing to accomplish. This is be-
cause the majority of the best
dancers are generally engaged and
the others have plans that inter-
feFe or a thousand and one other
things stand in the way.
One night as Nathan was play
ing as only Nathan can play, he
noticed petite, pretty little girl
dancing unusually well. He sent
out word and discovered that her
partner was her brother. He then
asked her If she would. do a solo
number. She consented. and
Nathan says she hadn't danced
two minutes before he said to
himself. There's the girl Tor, the

cited Over Move to Cut
OF Their Drinks
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

Washington, Jan. 1.-The nature
Of their official status doesn't per-
NIT members of the diplomatic corps
here even to look interested in any
thing Congress does. but the truth
is they're considerably perturbed by
the move started in the House Of
Representatives to cut off their

may flow freely, regardless Of the
eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead law combined. It has to get
there, however, across American
soil. If permits for this arc bor-
hidden, no more drinks.
What Would Happen
Suppose such rule goes into cf-
feet.
The diplomats will be entitled to
keep the stocks OF wet goods they
have on hand at the time, to con-
sumo them and to serve them to
their friends. But they won't last
long, even though huge stores be
laid in in advance.

to be lavish in their refreshment oil

drink is the first thing the caller at
diplomatic residence looks for
when he arrives. the last thing he
takes before his departure, and he's
disappointed il several haven't been

with which police deal It would be.
a big help to have the information
readily at hand, they explain.
Under the present system they are
forced to. ask the state registrar for
the information and then wait until
he answers their query. This delay,
which N,ften is . matter Of several
days, sometimes defeats the ends Of
justice or otherwise slows up their
work, the police chiefs point out.
Registrar 1ngstad wishes that he
could comply with the request Of
the police officials and may yet do
so-but he first must find q method
which will not wreck his meager
budget.
Preliminary statistics show that
the registrars department took In
1926. Nevertheless Ingstad has only
1925. OF that sum $cl,l20 has been
used to purchase 1872. 200 license tags
at an approximate cost Of l3 cents
each, $4,000 will be used for post
age and $4,000 for clerk hire. With
the remaining 33,2O5 lnestad must
finance other expenses Of his office
such as printing and other equip.
ment. He doesn't see how he is go
ing to make both ends meet as it
is without taking on the extra ex-
pcnse Of getting out reports for po.
lice chiefs to give them the informa-
ton they want.
Under the system devised BY Ing.
stad for use this year. however,
more information on automobile
registrations will be available than
ever before. He proposes 10 Keep
three indexed files which will show,
in alphabetical order, the names Of
every automobile owner, the numef-
real order of license tags issued and
an index Of the motor numbers Of
all machines licensed. In this man
ncr he will be able to find on short
notice the name Of car owner IL
he has either the license number or
the motor number or will be able to
tell If any certain person has OBJ
taincd an automobile license.
If it did not entail heavy extra
expense. 1ngstad would be pleased
to place this information in the
hands Of police chiefs and sheriffs
as is done in other states where
heavy appropriations are made for
that purpose. Under the system he
has devised, however, he can make
four extra copies Of these indexed
files.
The whole matter will be presented
to the state highway commission at
its January meeting. At that time
it is expected that lngstad will be
instructed as to the dispo sition Of
the extra copies. One way Of solv-
ing the problem, Governor A. G.. Sor-
lie has suggested, is to allocate the
index copies to the police depart
ments at Fargo, Grand Forks. Minot
and one other strategic center. These
cities then could serve as clearing
houses Of information for the entire
districts in which they are located,
thus relieving the state registrar Of
part of the correspondence with per-
sons seeking such information.
