the new Or0er or SyncOpaCeQ mu- sic that was to become swing.
 These Dixieland bands as they were known can be traced back to the century. They were small, four or five-piece outfits that thrived on noise and solos. Most of the musi- clans couldn't read notes. Each played in his own manner. The whole was called "Dixieland." They didn't have the instrumentation to bring out the harmony produced by todays swing bands.
 STRAIGHT RHYTHM;
 LOW-DOWN MUSIC
 The music they produced bordered on good swing. However, it was played in a form of march time and had unvaried rhythm. The musicians turned out by this form of jazz, and their influence upon modern bands. makes "Dixieland" the third most important swing style. Except for few bands, the style has become subdued. It predominates, however, in brilliant form in Bob Crosbys band.
 Bob's New Orleans drummer, Ray Bauduc, who received his training in pre-war Dixieland bands, sets the tempo by accentuating the off, beats (second and fourth). Eddie Miller, first tenor saxophonist in the band, and Hilton LaMare, the guitar player, also grew up in New Orleans under the influence of Leon Rap polo, the clarinetist.

 The story is much too hilarious to divulge here.
 Heading a grand supporting cast are Joan Davis and Bert Lahr, out standing comedy team.

"Josette" starring screen and ra- dio favorite Don Ameche, Simone Simon and Robert Young, won the applause of a capacity audience at the Loew-Poli theater this after noon, when it opened for three day engagement.
 "Josette" is the biggest laugh hit ever to come out of the 20th Gen. tury Fox studios. Ameche is more romantic than you've known him on screen or radio. Simone is the tantalizing little French caouette She's got everything. And Bob Young is the ardent swain who just won't take mo- for an answer.
 It all starts gaily on its way when Don and Bob decide that their Papa is too ardently cherchezing la femme-Josette. The fact that Si- none is innocent of all guile as re- gards Papa-and that there is an- other woman in the case-only adds to the merry madness. For Don and Bob pack Papa off on trip and decide to take Josette into their

STRAND

The new show opening today at Warner Bros. Strand theater is headlined by that powerful drama, Crime School, and stars the six Dead End" kids with Humphrey Bogart and Gale Page.
 The story centers around a gang of a half dozen youngsters in an East Side district of New York, who, spurred on by junk dealer, launch into petty thievery. They are sent to a reformatory where the officials are political crooks who make money out of school contracts for food, clothing, and other neces- sites essential to the health of every growing boy.
 The six New York boys, Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall. Leo Gorcey, Bernare Punley and Gabriel Dell prove that the success they won in their first screen ap- pearance was no accident, for again their acting is so true to life that local movie-goers attending the Strand within the next four days will be utterly convinced that they are the boys they seem to be.
 The co-feature is Hold That Kiss" starring Maureen O'Sullivan, Dennis OKeefe and Mickey Rooney.

STATE

A thoroughly entertaining program comprised of two big hits, opened three day engagement at Warner Bros. State theater yesterday with capacity audiences welcoming Rich ard Dix back to the screen in an- other of his powerful dramatic char acterizations as the star of Blind Alibi," the headliner of this program which may be enjoyed for two more days, today and tomorrow.
 The star of the well remembered "Cimarron" has never been seen to better advantage than in this thrill ing dramatic story of sculptor, 8 faithful dog and beautiful girl who loved them both.
 Sharing honors with the star are Whitney Bourne, who is seen in the leading feminine role; Eduardo Ciannelli, as the blackmailer men, ace; and Ace, the wonder dog" who is prominently featured.
 Dix is seen in struggling sculp- tor, who pledges his aid in recover ing from blackmailers certain letters his sister wrote. While prosecuting his exciting search, he pretends blindness behind pair of smoked glasses and uses guiding dog to further carry out his masquerade. Romance develops during his perils when he meets Whitney Bourne.
 The plottings of the blackmail gang to likewise obtain the all- important letters bring about tense complications, which, coupled with Miss Bourne's sudden realization of Dix's duplicity, and the dogs val iant battle with the gangsters to save his masters life, provide sus- pense and action, making the picture one that is recommended as deSir- able for the entire family.
 In the outstanding supporting cast are also Paul Guilfoyle and Jack Arnold as henchmen of Cianelli. the 5lackmailer; Frances Mercer as Dix's frantic sister, and Richard Lane as police sergeant.
 The second big hit is "Men Are Such Fools" starring Wayne Mor- ris and Priscilla Lane.
 On Friday the State will present the new star sensation Danielle Darrieux in her American debut in the film "The Rage of Paris" Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., is starred op- posite this lovely creature, while Misha Auer, Louis Hayward and Helen Broderick are also featured.

Their individual style of impro- visation and rhythm dominated the musicians they worked with in New York and Chicago and set the dis tinctive style of Crosby's band when returned from crooner to maestro. RELAXED
 DRUMMER BOYS
 Most of the other members of the Crosby band received their training in jazz music in Ben Pollock's fam ous swing orchestra of six years ago. Bob Burke, who still plays "bar- room" piano, was one of them. They easily fit in with the Bauduc style, which doesn't have the drive of Gene Krupa or Dave Tough, the two percussion demons who are rated as the top drummer boys of swing Bauduc's work on the drums is more relaxed and effortless.
 Crosbys special numbers, like South Rampant Street Parade" and "Dogtown Blues" have an unusual flavor that attracts hordes of "ickies," as gaping swing devotees are known to the profession.
 Unlike most of the swing band masters, Crosby doesn't "sit in" and play an instrument with the band. A brother of the great Bing Crosby, he, too, was a crooner until he organized this band. He sang with Anson Weeks band and later with the Dorsey Brothers. s.
 Deciding to leave the singing in the Crosby family all to Bing, who
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-29

wasn't doing so badly with his pipes, Bob hit out in the band field to produce the outstanding Dixie land swing crew of the radio and photograph boxes.
 NEW ORLEANS
 FLAVORS .....
 Another of the better known swing bands that specializes in the "Dix1eland" or New Orleans" type of music is headed by Louis Prima, the trumpet playing leader. Prina is also New Orleans product who started out in a catch as catch = can" band in the home of the Mardi Gras.
 In contrast to both Crosby and Prima is the Cralyle Evans band, which is currently playing in Rock Island, III. Evans still sends forth music in the original Dixieland manner. Rappolo, who had so much to do with the early training of a number of CroSby's musicians, was also responsible for Evans perfec- ton of the New Orleans style.
 It's far cry from the roaring New Orleans jazz foursomes that matched notes to the tune of w. c. Handy's "Jogo Blues," the jazz masterpiece known now as "St. Louis Blues," to the present highly instrumented and orch S trated Crosby Dixieland band.
 But the basic indigo notes are still there.
 NEXT: Duke Ellington and "Har- lem" swing.
