Goodman calls Tommy and his "ork", This favorite dance orches- tra."
 When Q band was wanted to re- place Fred Waring and his Penn sylvanians on the Ford Motors pro- gram last August while the War ingiteS took a much needed vaca- tion, Tommy Dorsey and his sen- sational outfit on location at the great French Casino in New York City, hustled out to the Texas Gen. tennial Exposition to replace him. At the conclusion of his contract there, back East came Tommy to i'll a date at the Steel Pier in At- lantic City, thence to the Victor Recording studios; and then back to New York to open the beautiful Blue Room of the Hotel Lincoln.
 It was while at the Lincoln that the radio ofiicials decided that the Dorsey orchestra with Miss Wright would be just the band for the new Raleigh cigarette program. And as a result, Tommy and his star studded combination are featured every Monday evening over the WIZ NEG network with Jack Pearl, "The Baron Munchausen". Tomor- row night, the Dorsey band with Sir Tommy directing and Blythe Wright and Jack Leonard doing the vocals stops off at Hamilton park for special engagement. Dancing will get underway at 8:30 and con- tinue until 1 a. m.

ing. They also include moments of breeding dramaturgy, delicious satire and muiscal comedy and all these moods are alternated so rapidly that only 8 hopelessly carping soul could deny that MT Coward is the Stages Wonder Boy of the Age.
 Coward is sensitive to his fin- gertips about the theatrical effec- tiveness of every line he writes, every stage gesture he directs, and although his probings into humankind are not the most pro- found in the world, they are de- lightful and delft. Scratch the surface of any interesting prob lem and you will find MT. Coward there burrowing into its play making possibilities.
 Hark back to the nine separate items assembled under the collec- tive insignia of Tonight at 8:30". Here is the substance of the new Coward works:
 HANDS ACROSS THE SEA, a brief gambol in the London suite of a titled Englishwoman whose friends call her Piggy and who invites various nervous disorders by being hospitable to 8 pair of colonial visitors whose names she cannot recall.
 THE ASTON1SHED HEART, 6 vignetted drama in six scenes, re- vealing the inner plight of the psychiatrist who, after probing others souls, fails to probe his own, messes up @ frenetic love af- fair and leaps to his death from Q high window.
 THE RED PEPPERS brings MT. Coward and Miss Lawrence forth as fourth-rate vaudeville team which, consecrated to lay ing them in the aisles" out front, quarrels itself out of an engage ment backstage.
 WE WERE DANCING, 8 slight and tenuous skit about two lovers who meet in the monolight and whose mutual magic turns to dust with grey dawn.
 TUNED OAK, which MT. Cow ard describes as "an unpleasant comedy in two scenes" and in which the irrepressible Noel is to be seen as Q henpecked cockney husband in the London suburbs, who finally rebels against the tyranny of his wife, mother-in- law and brat of a child.
 SHADOW PLAY, one of the most thoughtful of the new Cow ard works and by the same virtue, one of the most charming in the entire repertory. This is the tale of lovely young wife, about to be left by her husband, who brings him back during a deliri- ous flashback to their early roc mantle days.
 WAYS AND MEANS, a light and hilarious trifle about a charm ingly irresponsible couple cavort- ing merrily on the French Ri-

viera only to discover that they cannot afford to pay for their lodgings. An ,obliging burglar, who has come to rob them, solves their financial difficulties.
 STILL LIFE, Q serious and brief drama about . young man and woman who meet accidentally in a railway statoin and have a clandestine love affair. Since both happen to be married already, their plight ends sordidly in the waiting room of the same junc- ton where they came together.
 FAMILY ALBUM, a high-hu- mored and mischievous comedy about Q Victorian family hypocri- critically mourning It's fathers death. Since no one in the farn- lily loved him much, anyway, the sad gathering soon changes into Q gay party with songs (by MT. Coward) and dances (by Mfr. Coward).
 There, then, is the prolific repertory that the author of The Vortex" Bitter Sweet" Private Lives" Design for Liv- ing" and "Cevalcade." among other memorable works has brought with him to New York. He is the Inastermind of the entire en- terprise. Not only is he the sole author of the entire series, but he has enhanced several of these play lets with lovely songs, dances and he has directed each play with the ,lncanny skill that makes him one of the great men in the theater to- day. What Tonight at S:30" also proves beyond carping, is that Ger trude Lawrence is one of the most brilliant actresses of the world.

HEARING PRESSED
Mayor of IIion Asserts He
Refused to Deputize
Men for Strike.
II the Associated Press.


UTICA, N. Y, November 13.-Mayor
Frank c. Whitney Of Ilion testified on
q witness stand yesterday how officials
Of the Remington Rand Co. sought to
persuade him to deputiZe 80 guards
imported" for strike duty at the
eompany's Ilion factory.
Testifying at National Labor Re-
Iations Board hearing into union
charges that the Remington Rand Co.
employed unfair" labor tactics in
dealing with its workers, whitney said
he refused the request because the
men were non-residents."
He testified that the request was
made to him and to the chief Of Ilion
police "the last day in May" about
the time the company's widespread
strike began.
Whitney gave the answers, II don't
know" II can't say" IT don't remem-
ber," to several questions pressed by
Daniel B. Shortall. attorney for the
Labor Board, who had summoned him
rs witness, until Charles A. Wood,
the examiner, finally declared:
From now on, counsel, you may
treat this witness as an adverse wit
ness"
Tells of Joint Farley.
Whitney testified concerning cir
eumStances surrounding and the busi-
ness of a joint meeting "the latter
part of May" of the Governing Boards
of Mohawk, Ilion, Herkimer and
Frankfort, called to discuss the strike.
He said that Reginald Boote, whom
he identified as the head of an Or
EaniZation seeking to persuade the
men to return to work. told the board
members that the strike was called
''unfairly and illegally" and that II
the men didn't 60 back the plant
would be moved.
Whitney denied he ever had heard
8oote say that he had contacted
James H. Rand. jr., president Of the
company.
George w. Eggert of Syracuse,
freight agent for the Lackawanna
Railroad. testified concerning ship
ments of the office equipment firm
and said that most of them were Of
an interstate nature.
Urged Men to Avoid Strike.
Joseph w. Woodward. head OF a
union at the lion factory and an
employe of 13 years service. testified
that he saw a notice on a bulletin
board at 9:4o am. the morning the
strike was called announcing that a
ballot was to be taken at 10 am. on
whether the workers desired to strike.
He said there had been no previous
notice.
He said he hurried through the
plant urging the workers not to vote.
Woodland declared that company
announcement saying that 81 per cent
OF the workers voted against the strike
was mot true" He said he opposed
the ballot because it did not constitute
collective bargaining"
