 When Victor Young first started in show business in this country back in 1920, he was booked for @ years vaudeville tour at $500 per week. Billed as "Europe's greatest violinist," he did splendidly until he received wire from the circuit head ordering him to play nothing but popular tunes. Engaged, he tore up that valuable contract. Today Young, who supplies the music on the Al Jolson CBS show and is musical director and chief arranger for Paramount Pictures, could re- tire and live comfortably on the royalties of popular song he has since composed. Its title is Sweet Sue"-and 1t is one of the most en- during popular songs ever written {!
