HAPPY CROWD.
GOE W LID
CRITICS RAVE.
(By ROLLO VEST)

Lonard's Reeds current Club
Plantation production plantation
Melodies" had it's premier showing
last Friday night before the larg-
est group of first nighters yet
TO attend the opening of a night
club show. 1t is so amazingly clev-
er and sensationally different from
the usual run of cafe productions
that it can easily and indisputably
be called the best bill of entertain
ment ,ever offered in a Detroit
nightery.
This writer talked with Reed
Thursday Afternoon to get few ad-
vance pointers on his new show.
He seemed much more concerned
about his opening, and incidently
his debut, than is true of most pro-
ducers. He was not only concern
ed about his own success, but with
that of Walter Norwood, the own
er of the Club Plantation, who was
placing so much faith in his "a
bility; he was concerned about the
newspapermen who had yelled to
the country side, through their COL
umns, his qualities as a producer
and master of ceremonies, and his
mack of developing crude, raw
material into beauty, splendor and
grace; he was concerned about the
patrons that would come to see
his offering. Advance publicity
had been sent out weeks before
he arrived in Detroit. He couldn't
let all these people down. They
had placed too much on him. I've
got to deliver, he said, as he hur-
riedly grabbed the elevator for his
fourth floor suite in the Norwood
Hotel.
Auzie Stops Show
Most of Leonards show was i'm
ported with the exception of De-
troit's own "girl of thousand
songs, Auzie Dial and Myra John
son and they both did their share
in Gntributing to the success of
uSPIsl ation Melodies" Auzie uses
"Iza Muggin" and stops the show
like the new hydraulic brakes stops
the 1886 automobiles.
Reed is very clever as an EN- Gee
and it's a pleasure to watch him |
working after viewing one after the
other of those who would be a |
master Of ceremonies if they could.
The chorus numbers featuring
Matches Preston, Florence Ray,
Sue Washington, Baby Clark,
Dimples Harris, Mary Stevens, Nit
ri Coleman and Jean HUT are par
tcularly impressive. Their rou-
tines are we'll executed and uni
formed with everything done in
perfect harmony.
Unique stepping by the Three
Step Sons, from Hollywood; clever
team work by Windy and Gussie,
weird terpsichorian manipulations
by Tanya; lovely singing by Do
rothy Derrick and Earl Walton's
music round put Reeds initial Of
fering to local diversion seekers.
Seven of Reeds original compo-
sitions are featured in plantation
Melodies namely: Paradise VAL
ley" 'Needin Rhythm" Another
Day. Sunday with you, "At Last,
plantation Stomp" and Its Over
Because We're Through" the lat
ter is used by Willie Bryant
as a theme song and was written
by Bryant and Reed when they
were a team several years ago.

SWING MUSIC
HOW LII GOT THAT WAY

HOW 1T GOT THAT WAY
Some of the spade scribes are a
trifle peeved by Edgar A. Guest,
Jr., member Of the Detroit Free
Press staff, who had his say on
swing music declaring that Cab,
Armstrong, etc, are jam bands and
now swing experts, and that Glen
Gray and Benny Goodman are
true opponents Of this popular
style.
1t is a fact that even a good
many musicians, both spare and
spook, know little or nothing of
the origin of swing. None has yet
been able to accurately define this
type of rocky rhythm in which in
struments weave a sort of Off
beat pattern about the original
melody resulting in exhiliration
for the listener.
Swing actually has been with
us for a good many years, al
though it is only during the past
few months that it has been def
nitely put aside and catalogued as
something different. Practically
all Grade A sepia bands swing now
and have been swinging because
it's the type Of music expected
from Negroes. You will notice that
the more swingy Casa oma and
Goodman become, the more they
sound like the brown boys.
In days gone by Gene Gold
kettle had the finest white swing
band in the business. Later it was
Ben Pollack. But during that
period-and who had heard of
swing music as such then?-the
spades were still tops. Louis
Armstrong, the Sultan of Swing,
is credited with actually original
ing the term although he used it
as a verb. Fletcher Henderson's

Luana took three quick steps to,
ward him. She bent down to look
at his face. It was very pale. His
eyes were closed. 1t was as though
he had tainted.
Compassion touched her. Here
was no shamming. Her mind
worked fast. Young artist OF
Greenwich Village probably
starving. Sick, anyhow. Maybe a
heart attack. Brought on by the
chase across the roofs, the fear of
losing what he had worked long
over, and that he fondly expected
would bring him fame or money.
She waited moment. Give him
time to recover. He did not move.
She became alarmed. Ought she
to run for the janitor? Call a
doctor?
Considering the way he had ar
rived here, that would be embar-
RAISING for him-the ensuing pub
licity would doubtless bring forth
further appalling publicity about
her runaway marriage with a man
now in prison on the princl-
pie that one calamity will lead to
another, troubles never coming
Singly!
She shook him by the shoulder.
He stirred slightly, mumbled some
thing, then slumped again.
Trembling with apprehension,
she ran to an old-fashioned buffet
or dresser that fitted in an alcove
in the tiny entrance to the flat.
She prayed there might be brandy
or Scotch there.
There was a flagon of red wine
beloved of Yvonne. With shaking
fingers, she drew the cork out,
poured a glaSSful, took it to him.
awake up. Drink this. It'll do
you good" She put an arm about
him, supporting him.
He opened his eyes. They were
very brown, with tiny flecks in
them like sunshine makes in
brackish pools when it filigrees
through the branches and leaves
of trees in the autumn. His eyes
looked vague, uncertain, now, as
though he was not at all sure of
his surroundings or what had hap
pened.
CHAPTER XII
Drink this" she urged again.
you'll be all right in a minute"
He looked wonderingly up at
her, then took the glass from her
hand, as if still in a daze, and
drank a little.
"Some more now. 1t will do
you good" She stood over him as
though he were a child.
He drank again. Slowly. AS
though savoring its bouquet this
time. It was lush, strong Bur
gundy. He began to feel a faint
warmth in his veins.
He made as though to give the
glass back to her, but she refused
to take it. She said, compassion
ately, you have to drink every
drop of it. You need it,"
How much he needed it she was
never to know, for he was proud
and sensitive young man, and not
for worlds would have divulged the
fact to her that he had eaten prac-
tically nothing for the past few
days, funds being lacking.
Nov you come over to this arm
chair and rest a little before I let
you co." she announced firmly.
He started to protest, to apollo
gize for his indisposure, but sha
put a hand under his arm and
piloted him to an over-stuffed,
comfortable low chair by the fire
place.
His unfinished glass in his
hand, she would not embarrass
him by watching him. She started
making preparations for her eve
ming meal, after she had cleared
away the smashed crockery.
She pulled out a gate-legged
table from its corner. put a yellow
linen cloth on it, two blue glasses

Suddenly, with hand the window sill, he hestated
and seemed to stagge Then he mped down the window
as though in collapse.
Luana stood STILL staring at him. Was it melodramatics?
Had he been drinking? This was the browning touch

and two blue-glass plates (the
chances were he might be
hungry?) and fetched long loaf
of crusty French bread from its
tin box in the kitchenette.
She brought a big slab of butter
from the icebox and four hard
boiled eggs, and a fresh, crisp
salad she had prepared in a
wooden bowl half an hour ago.
Coffee she had set on the stove
directly after making her salad.
It had been perking busily for
some time.
She opened a can of condensed
milk that was creamy in its thick
ness and appearance. Scouting
on the shelves for further food for
him (Yvonne kept provisions on
the short Side), she discovered a
can of peaches and opened that,
too.
He had finished his glass of
Burgundy when she spoke to him.
please come and have some food.
I hate eating alone. And that
wine must have given you bit of
an Appetite" she said authorita-
lively.
Thank you. I've imposed on
you far too much already" He
had been sitting with his back to
her and the room, but now rose
and turned as she spoke. There
was faint color in his face. He
looked better. Much younger,
somehow, too, and really quite
handsome when he smiled.
Blue eyes looked at brown. AMI
mostly had died between them.
Blue eyes were friendly and COM
passionate. Brown eyes were
looking at Luana with a kind of
wonder in them.
They were seated at the supper
table. The tall young man who
had burst so strangely into the
apartment via the window, and
the girl who had come from Cali
fornia to battle her way in the
big city.
She had felt lonely tonight, de.
spite her real thankfulneSs for the
new job.
She had told herself she must
go on being lonely, with her secret
of i'll omen shut up inside her. No
one must know it.
But Luana was young and it
was spring time. Chou-Chou and
fate had together flung this young
man in her path. They had spoken
harShly to each other at their
meeting, but that was changed
now. They talked. Stiffly, at
first, and self consciously, but gen.
orally gaining more confidence.
He was a shy young man, but
the Burgundy helped loosen his
tongue. His name was James B.
Randolph. He was from the
South. Kentucky. She had
noticed, now and again, the soft
Slur in his voice. He was
bachelor in the middle twenties.
He was a college graduate, and
had taken some sort of a diploma
in architecture. winning scholar
ship to New York.
Now he was hoping to compete
for much larger prize to be
given in connection with designs
for buildings in the forthcoming
New York Exposition.
And it was some of thsee that
Chou-Chou stole? I expect Chou
Chou is cleverer than we think,
and knows good work when he
sees it," said Luana. smiling.
The young man flushed. It
struck Luana then that he was
really very good-looking, in a
manly sort of way. He looked as
if he belonged in the out-of-doors.
AS if he had been born to be
husky. 1t was only the long hours
of confinement in his studio, and
probably lack of proper feeding
and the right amount of sleep,
that made him look rather pale
and thin.
