haven't forgotten the contract
and know that you could hold
me to it. I feel I can go places
here if you will give me q re-
lease"
So Dick got his release and
the place he went was to Holly
wood, where his present contract
calls for $4,000 weekly.
There have been other Lyman
discoveries" who have gone on
to fatter contracts and film
glory. For instance, Eleanor
Powell Csome say she's the real
heartbeat of the maestro") re-
ceived her first California atten-
ton when beating out her taps
for Abe.
TAUGHT WINDSOR
Frances Langford, who now
asks $4,000 a week for "per-
sonals," was one Of his prize
soloists during the five years
he played at the famous Coco.
nut Grove in Los Angeles. So
was Oracle Barrie, Ella Logan,
and Phil Regan. Latter Irish
tenor, by a coincidence, occu'
pied the stars room at the Capt.
toll, No. 305, week before Lyman
arrived, and, as a gag, left 1t
cluttered with Regain mementoS.
In 1929 Abe played a full sea-
son at the famous Kit Kat Club
in London, and it was during
this engagement that he taught
the Prince of Wales (preSent
Duke Of Windsor) how to play
the tympani.
These years of experience
and musical background have
taught Lyman a showmansh1p
that is revealed in his routine
this week. He senses audience
reaction. That's why after try
ing out once the ingenious ar
rangement of melancholy
Baby" which is a feature Of
his act, he plunked down $500
and bought it for the band.
"Abe," said Maestro Phil
Lampkin in q dressing-roonf re-
union, there's only one favor
I would like to ask. Will you
grant it for old times Sake?"
SEES BRIGHT FUTURE
"Sure, If I can" replied the
generous Mr.. Lyman.
LET me borrow your arrange
ment Of Melancholy Baby for
one week."
"well," replied Abe, ''I'n tell
you what I'll do. You get your
friend Rudy Vallee to lend you
the Rogers-Hart AL Points
West first; then I'll consider
it."
Like other band leaders he
thinks the outlook for musical
organizations is brighter. He
sees a renaissance of vaudeville,
and that, added to radio, cafe
and Hollywood work, makes to-
days prospects okay for good
bands. And Lyman has a
crackerjack outfit, loaded with
good specialties.

this bout will draw even one-fourth
that amount because this fight
has gone over with hush.
They call it The Battle of
Empty Seats" here and public
apathy can be traced to several
sources. For one thing, the Slip
perry, slappery Ambers has never
been a drawing card. Even in this
cultured city, the fans like to see
blood Everything's been hot here
but the fight. The public just
isn't very excited.
OTHER OBSTACLES
! Add to these things the fact
that the Brooklyn Dodgers are
playing a night game at Ebbets
Field which is just as convenient
from Times Square as is the Polo
Grounds. These night games have
brought out the rube in the Big
Town. They go in big way up
here for the footraces, yellow ball
and other accoutrements that
make up night baseball.
Another factor is that the Ham
bletonian Trot is scheduled for
today and New York is a horsey
toWn-at least the ones who pay
the freight like to see these things
and the Hambletonian will drain
quite a few bucks from Uncle
Mike Jacobs fistic enterprise. In
spite of all this. Jacobs thinks the
bout will draw 10000 spectators
and $l20,000.
The balIyhoo has been con.
cerned with whether Ambers will
also win the welterweight cham.
