Such tremendous box-office draw
has been demonstrated by Cab Cal

on a tour of the South during the last
two months that Irving Mills, his
manager. has decided to postpone the
return of the band to New York until
fall and to continue its record-break-
ing tour in midwestern cities.
An unusual and comprehensive adj
vertisiny and publicity campaign will
be waged preceding Calloway's APP
pearances in Iowa, Minnesota, Neb-
raska and Missouri by Ned E. Will
Jams, exploitation specialist. who has
left New York to go in advance of
the attraction. He will supervise local
advertising and publicity campaigns
and effect special exploitation tieups
in each town.
Williams is familiar with Callow-
avs potentiality as a theatre and ball
room draw, having handled his pub
lefty from New York for the last
two years. This is the first time that
an intensive ballyhoo on the road has
been put on in advance Of an attract
ion Of this character. A majority OF
the theatres into which the band goes
have had no stage shows for some
time and the unit carries enough
