All F0xed Up

Have you met "Bobadilla?" She
is sort of twin sister to Valencia"
Ace Berry has a good term for such
tunes. He calls 'em trick tunes"
The trick seems to put the

''Bodabilla," as played by the
Gotham Nightingales on an Okeh

those melodies belonging to the
Valencia school of fox trotting. 1t

little twist. On the other side, the
Gotham Nfghtingales fox up That's
Why I Love You" Nifty orches-
tration done in the best fox trotting
way. You know that 1 haven't
prancing feet, but have hopes that
some of these warm melodies will
give me dancin' feet.
And this is good news-she is still
my baby whether she walks or rides.
And she is still my baby no matter

You will become aware of that
when you hear the Araby Gardens

lyrics are snappy. It is an Okeh.
Quite right for hoofing. On the
other side you have the same or

so that the fox's old tail is there.

Wind in Trees and the Whippoorwill

Der on a Vocation record
1t is done by Harry Richman, who
is called a comedian, and an oches-
ira. OF course, the lyrics could have
been ruined by an unsympathetic
melody, but the song writers were
too clever to let any of the cooks
ruin this musical broth.

swaying to and fro, they heard mu-
sic in the trees, caused by the wind
Then they started to sway some
more. because the wind in the trees
was singing a melody.
Then a whippoorwill from a far
away dell let out a plaintive note
and they took it and put it in a
horn until It became warm-until 1t
made a new warm note. Then a
quail or something gave another
plaintive note and they made It a
part of the blues.
Then they .coaxed and rehearsed
all of these warm notes until they
became the blues, a wonderful new
note. And that, my children, is
how the song writer's contend that
the blues were born.
And now Harry Richman puts
this tune and lyrics over. Wow, it
is about as eart-to-heart number
as you would expect Al Jolson to
make. This Richman fellow has cap

SIMPLICITY
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

YOU have been to Richmond, Va,
- many of you, no doubt, and have
seen the statues of the southern
heroes that stand in the broad thor
Oughfare that crosses the city. The
one of Jefferson Davis is ornately
done with much decoration and many
words carved at its base, as If by
eulogy it would make great the men,
DRY of the man whom it commem-
crates. There is nothing simple about
1t. The second statue is one of the
most impressive that l have ever seen
and more impressive because of its
simplicity. There is no ornate deco
ration on 1t, no words of explanation
or eulogy. 1t bears only the one word
Lee" No one will pass it without
giving 1t second look.
Much has been written and said con-
corning the monument to the memory
Of Abraham Lincoln which stands in
the city Of Washington. One comes
away from 1t awed, impressed, salts
fed that in its grand simplicity 1t fifty
typifies the accomplishments and the
character of the man In whose men,
DRY it was designed. 1t would not
have been great if it had not been
simple.
The monument to the memory of
the unknown soldier in Westminster
abbey is a plain tablet let into the
floor of the abbey, and bearing this
inscription:
"They buried him among kings be-
cause he had done good toward God
and toward his house."
There might have been many words,
there could easily have been much
carving and bizarre display, but the
tablet was sufficient. The beautiful
simplicity of it drew crowds to gaze
at 1t and to admire it from morning
until night.
The effectiveness of Lincoln's Get
tysburg speech lies largely in its d.
rect simplicity. There is no useless
ornamentation, no unnecessary words,
nothing that is not genuine and sim
cere. If he had said more he would
have been less impressive.
Strength and beauty lie in sim
plicity.

Unable to match, the masterful IRON

Both conquAts of the New Jersey yet

for Golden never previously has fig

for Americas major links laurels. Both
also were elinched on the 33rd green,
where Golden toppled Harry Cooper of
Kansas City in the first round yester-
day.
The passing of Sarazen, an old foe of
Hagen, took a colorful candidate out of
the picture in a day otherwise marked
by triumph for favorites. Hagen gal
