You Don't Need Heat In Winter If You
Have Gompers. and His Hot Clarinet
By Walter ID. Hicknan

When the wild winter winds blow
this winter you will not need heavy
undies nor steam heat if you have
Harry Gompers and his wild clari-
net present.
And if you have him around in
warm weather you sure will need an
electric fan going full blast. because
this Okeh-Gompers record Is one of
the warmest things I have bumped
into in many moon.
Really both of the numbers that
Gompers plays is so bloomin' hot
that it will make you wild. He
brings out the groans and the,
shrieks, the screams, means and ev-
erything that a clarinet possesses.
If anybody can make a clarinet
forget it has a soul, then this man
Gompers is the boy. He plays one
Of the most wicked clarinets in the
world. If you ask me if this man
has hot lips will tell you that he
sure owns EN- hot.
Am trying to tell you about Com
pers playing Lone Desert Blues"
and Nanny Goat Blues on a new
Okeh release. Okeh has a hot and
a real winner in this number. You
will fan yourself to death when you
play this record.
The three instruments present in
both numbers are the clarinet, piano
and banjo. This combination GER
tainly puts the jazz hoofn' fever in
one. It sure makes me feel wicked.
To cure myself after playing this
Okeh record, I find it necessary to
order more ice and ginger ale.
Really this Gompers- Okeh record
is the real hot article. I know that
you have been waiting for this one.
Meeting New Ones
Here is a good way to get &C.
quainted with some new releases of
several companies. / have played
all of these many times and here is
what I think of them.
We will first start with the artist
playing the numbers as follows:
Mario Chamlee--Here is q tenor
who is in much demand as a con-
cert singer. His voice fits the de-
mands of the new method Of record
ing with ease. His new record is
Re en- As The Flower" from the
poem THE Passion Flower" and
Pleading. Both>numbers have the
tenor with orchestra. Here are two
soulful numbers done with delight
full artistry. 1t is a Brunswick.
Melody Sheiks and the Goofus
Five-On one side you have the
Goofus Five playing "Where'd You
Get Those Eyes" and on the other
side the Melody Sheiks playing
''BaHy Face" with vocal chorus by
Theo Alban. Two pretty good dane
ing fox trots. Both are popular
tunes. 1t is an Okeh.
The Peerless Fourt Quartet-On
this record you will discover two
melodies Of other days. Rather
think that the old folk will like
Love Old Sweet Song" and "a Per
feet Day" Ask Dad he will tell
you about these two tunes of other
days. They are done in an old
fashioned quartet way by the Peer.
less Four. a male quartet. Here
is mighty pleasing record. 1t IS
an Okeh.
Mishel Piastro-Those who build
"a library of records with discrimina-
ton will have nearly all of the rec.
ords Of Piastro violinist. His tech.
meal skill is most interesting and
his tones have that golden quality.
You hear him in a thoughtful and
pensive mood in "Serenade," bv
Arensky and Irish Lament" bv
Franco. Two beautiful numbers.
This record will be in the worth.
while musical library. It is a Bruins.
wick
Goofus Five and Jack Glassner and
ms Colonial .orchestra-It is getting
the fad now days quite often two
present two different orchestras on
