NOT LET HIM DOWN. Their re-

and the possibilities of playing To-

with you.
Paging AL Comes of the Holly

news of the week which you prom
Used to pen for this column some
time ago. Now that you are back
from your vacation, please mail me
the news that's fit to print.
Say, music-makers of Detroit,
you are certainly getting swell
break through This column in the
Tribune. One good turn deserves
another. When you advertise and
have job-printing done, why not
remember the Tribune? Think it
over.
Rehearsals are again in evidence
up at the Band Box. No doubt
some wide awake lad has secured
something in the bag. l contend
that regardless of a job fellows
should interest themselves and
keep rehearsing regularly.

home in old Ky. Speaking of the
Blue Gress State, my good friend
Bob Fletcher, who has just return
ed from there recounts this queer
story of Kentucky justice. Two
brothers were recently sentenced
One drew 60 days for shooting a
lad of his age who ordered him off
the sidewalk, while his brother
now Is years old must remain in
a reformatory school until he is II
years old, simply because he used
indecent language to Mr. Charles
wife. Odd enough, but is could
have been worse if it had really
happened in DIXIE. Laugh.
Earl Walton and his Club Plan
tation Orchestra are my favorites
at II p. NJ, TUESDAY, THURS
DAY, and SATURDAYS. Heard
them July 30, via WXYZ. 1 was
happy to note that in the short
space of two weeks this band has
almost mastered the technique Of
broadcasting. Brodacasting is
serious study all by itself, and the
best band in the world would
sound ridiculous over the air, un-
less they put into practice certain
definite dulles about broadcasting.
Take My Heart" Small Hotel,
and Shoe Shine Boy" with the
Earl of Walton vocalizing the lat
ter, were very nicely done. His
invasion into Flint August 10th,
should prove quite a worthwhile
venture for the promoters. Chick
Webb says, Get all the air you
can if you've got anything to sell.
Via the Ether Waves
Noble Sissle and his Orchestra
via w. j. r. and the Columbia
Broadcasting system July 81, play
ed a program in keeping with the
name of Noble Sissle.
Earl Hines was heard Saturday
via WXYZ and augmented by the
Canadian Radio Commission and
the Michigan Radio Network play
ed-Oh what program with Earps
piano-soloing of blue Skies" and
the Glee Club harmonizing. Rob
ms and Roses" was in my estima-
ton the high spots of his broad
cast.
From Cleveland came the Duke Of
Ellington Sunday at II p. NJ, over
WJR. The Duke played one Of
his latest compositions, 1.-THE Great
Lake Stomp" and dedicated same
to the Cleveland Exposition
Charming Ivy Anderson was more
than pleasing in ooh Babe Maybe
Some Day." IL was disappointing
to note that for poor timing of this
program, Miss Anderson was cut
off.
