I'VE heard that, too," was

Herbert had decamped with $500
of the money Gail had put up,
but Biff on his own finally
found a two-by-four ten per-

THE VARIETY" sCORCHER
Abel Green. editor and music

judgment, wrote a sizzling re-
view.

highly-touted preeming of Biff

Brown, ex. blacksticker with
Tommy Dorsey, had been bal

but all he laid was an egg, a
great, big one. Ork is a poorly
blended outfit built along swing
eroo lines that dishes out dis
tintly corny dansapation. Biff,
himself, lacked showmanship
and seemed nervous and un-
steady. Did his own crawling

danceability and about every
thing else that goes to make a
click dance outfit. Sock Of the
evening was the unannounced
piping of Harriet Cardale.
Seemed to be a local femme. Her
rendition Of the blues was some
thing to cable home about. Gal
has showmanship and rhythm
in her very fingertipS. Should
be a natural for radio and pix,
too, with her looks. Handled a
torchy in as socko a style as
ever heard anywhere"
M. H. Orodenker of "The Bill
board" took Biff for a consider
able ride. "Biff Browns attempt
to reach for the high notes." he
wrote, "was distinctly a fizzle,
with all the notes being false.
Strictly a rooty-toot outfit, which
hasn't even learned how to play
in tune.
Should go back to the sticks.
Only solid surprise of the even
ing was the hotcha piping of
Harriet Cardale, unknown entry,
who packed plenty of syncosen-
sation into her contribS."
Soon after those blasts, the
band broke up. BY that time Biff
didn't care. All he could think
of now was finding Harriet.

CHAPTER XIX


II don't see why you have to
take such things seriously?"
was her suave rejoinder.
Because I'm made that way.
I am serious. And Harriet is
serious, too, in her own way"
BE careful. In minute
you'll be bawling all over the
place." Her sharp laughter cut
through the fog.
But Biff, too, was sharp now.
He returned sneer for sneer.
you're not as smart as you
think, Gail. I never met a wom-
an of your type before, but now
I understand you-only too well.
You're spoiled and bored and
you have too much time on your
hands.
IDEALS TO RECAPTURE
That's all I was to you; a
way of killing time. A way of
amusing yourself. A swing mu-
sician-isn't that a new twist?
But you've brought me back to
my senses. There are things in
the world that mean more than
your Socalled Sophistfcation and
smartness. There are ideals.
Ideals I'VE lost in the last six
months since I left Dorsey'S
band. Ideals I've got to recap
ture."
"Ideals!" she sneered.
Gail, we're through" he said.
"We're through" she repeated
stingingly. Can you beat that
for cheek? He says, we're
through Why. who ever told
you we'd begun? You're just a
cheap clarinet player at heart
and you'll never get over 1t. I
was fool to think I could put
some polish into you.
"You call everybody corny
but you're the corniest person
yourself when 1t comes to every
thing that makes life worth
living. You're corny on love and
people and places to go to and
things to do. You were born IN
the gutter and you'll die there.
you've taught me a lesson.
too. I'm grateful for it and III
know enough never to bother
with cheap people again. II it
weren't for my selt-restraint-
and breeding-I'd slap you"
go ahead and prove to me
how little breeding you really
have" he invited.
She ground her teeth. "Oh'
you're impossible "
They finished the trip home
in a silence thicker than the
weather.
BROADWAY FORGETS BIFF
The next few weeks were lean.
Reports of the flopperoo had fill
tered back all over Broadway
through the usual grapevine and
Biff met q cold shoulder where
ever he went. The counter men
at the music publishers refused
to give him tree orchestrations.
The big booking agents, who had
been pestering him before. now
weren't in" when he called.
The press agents didn't know
his name when they passed him
on the street. If he went to
Dawes Blue Room. he sat by
himself and nobody came over
to slap him on his back and
offer him d new song to play
or ask how he was doing. Biff
found out that Broadway could
forget even faster than 1t could
get excited.
