Jimmy Lunceford
Draws Crowd AT
Dreamland Hall

Jimmy Lunceford and his inter
nationally famous orchestra swung
cut to the delight of 900 dance pa
irons Friday night in the beautiful
and spacious Dreamland ballroom.
Presenting original arrange
ments of the popular tunes of the
day and novelty arrangements of
special compositions, L%unceford's
orchestra held those 600 lovers of
real swing music spell bound, so
much SO that half of the huge
crowd forsook dancing in order
that they might watch the superb
manipulation of this aggregation
of music artists. AS they stood be-
fore the orchestra stand they be-
held a band whose members were
masters, theme were soloists, sing
ors and comedians that presented
their part of the entertainment
with such speed and joy that you
almost los. your breath.
Jimmy Lunceford whom your
writer remembers best as a foot
ball player at Fisk university,
conducted with almost unbelieve-
able surety and charm. Then came
the trumpet trio and OIL how Mr..
Webster thrilled the crowd with
the ease of a master in making
those shrill high notes. The little
comedian Willie Smith, proved to
be not only a great saxaphone
player but also a singer.
Local Boy With Band
1t was interesting to see the way
in which Omaha received it's own
Elmer Crumbley, with rousing
cheers as he swung out on special
parts.
After listening to this wonderful
aggregation of musicians, need
not wonder why the music critics
OF the world herald the sultan Of
swing and his band one Of the fore
most combinations of the universe.

Police Look for No Dis= turbances- One Demons
 stratiOn Planned

Police today expected no trouble to develop in Waterbury's observ- arice of May Day, but the usual pre- cautions were taken in case any difficultieS should arise. The only outdoor demonstration planned was that of the Community party o1 Waterbury, which scheduled mass meeting for o'clock this afternoon at the Soldiers and Sailors monu- ment at the west end of the green.
 Permission for the May Day meet ing of the Communists was given early this week by Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach. It was the only application for an outdoor meeting presented to him.
 Four Jewish organizations have a May Day program planned for to- night at Workmen's Circle hall. Da- vid Stein will be master of cere- monies. Speakers will include Sam uel Hurwitz and Barnet Stein Sponsoring the meeting are the Workmen's Circle; Yeoash branch, Jewish National Workers Alliance; Workmen's Circle folk school: and the Progressive Ladies Association.
 Extra policemen were held ready for duty today, but authorities em- phaSized that this was just Q clls- tomary precaution. The last several May Days in Waterbury have been quiet, and police have had no difd- culty at all in keeping order.
 Several local and out-of-town speakers will be heard at the mass meeting sponsored by the Commun- istS this afternoon.

HOTEL STRIKE IS
 HAVING EFFECT
Narragansett Race Open ing Hampers Provi-
 dence Facilities

Providence, R. I, May 1-(UP)-- Effects of the Providence Hotel strike were felt more keenly today as thousands thronged the city for the opening of New England's horse racing season at Narragansett Park.
 State Labor Director Thomas F. McNIahon was to meet again with representatives of the homogeneous and the hotel and restaurant work ers' union in an effort to compose differences. Yesterdays conference proved fruitless.
 On strike were 300 union em- ployes of the Biltmore, Grown and Narragansett hotels, and many res- taurants. They demanded higher wages, a z8-hour work-week, and other concessions.
 Those who walked out late Wednesday were cooks, walters, waitresses, bellhops, chambermaids, busboys, hostesses and kitchen help. Hotels and restaurants affected were picketed.
 Though dining-r0on and maid service was suspended at the three hotels, the union assigned a few members to maintain curtailed ele- vator and bellhop service.
