GUY LOMBARDO AT NEW
 HAVEN ARENA SUNDAY

A noted musician once said that the music of Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, headliners on Sunday afternoon and evening s swingsation programs at the Arena, is the most distinguishable of all dance music. It's the only orchestra to which the average listener can casually tune in during the playing of number and immediately iden- tify. Their music Is that indivi- dual.
 That is the only one of the many reasons why the music of the Royal Canadians is known throughout the world as The Sweetest Music This Side of Heavon". Lombardo and hls orchestra are rated the most popu- lar in the land. And, that rating Is being proven here in Connecticut, as box office indications are that the Royal Canadians will play to large audiences at both afternoon and evening swingsations at the Arena auditorium.
 A second unit of this swingsa- tion extravaganza will show an all- star revue of radio. stage and screen artists performing in front of Harry Germans stage band. Heading the revue are Cappy Barra's Harmonica Rascals direct from a sensational stand at Loew's State theater in New York.
 The matinee swing smash will start at 3 p. m. with popular prices prevailing. The evening show Is slated for 8:30.

 "oh, gollyI" said the dapper little drummer. "1t's mel" So before beginning again he stuffed a hand kerchief into his mouth.

He acts in the picture, too, although Bob Hope and Shirley Ross have the leads. Krupa is only 90 and has been beating the hides for l2 years. It was only year ago that he quit Benny Goodman's band and or. ganized one of his own. Since then he has bang crashed his way to tho top Of the heap.
 He takes his drumming very se- riously; practices three hours e day an a rubber pad. For relaxa. .!on he plays the piano and listens to symphonic recordings You have 10 know good music to play swing" he said. And the better you know 1t the easier 1t is to improvise hot licks."

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Hollywood-Gene Krupa, current joy of jitterbugs and swing acts, sat in the middle of @ set of drums in the middle of Paramount's vast re- cording stage and beat his way down the middle of the groove.
 At first glance 1t seemed pretty crazy. There was no orchestra, no camera, A leader waved baton, but Krupa paid him not the slightest at- tention as he walloped the drums. Then I saw that Krupa and the leader wore headphones. It seemed that they were dubbing his drum solo into a previous recording of "The Wire Brush stomp" so- called tune which the swingmaster and his band evolved one night in a jam session.
 Krupa had led his orchestra in the first recording, without drums, and now he was listening to the music they'd made and was in- serting his drumming. By this meth- cd of recording and re-recording, 1t would be perfectly feasible for an entire orchestra to be composed of one accomplished musician.
 Arriving at crashing finish, Krupa yelled at the microphone, T think we'd better do 1t again I got lost in one spot" So they started again, but after e dozen

OUTLOOK FOR 1910

Each year government. survey il
made in an effort to forecast the prob
able trend of agriculture, industry,
finance and business in general. A
report making such forecast fol
1910 was made public last week, and
some of the conclusions reached are
as follows:
1. Everything considered, it seems
likely that 1910 will be moderately
better year for business than 1899.
2. The net effvct of the war will
be favorable to American business
but this viii be felt very gradually.
8. Aside from the war, the i'm
mediate domestic business outlook. is
favorable, and the present upswing
will continue for several months.
4. A decline from the peak of this
upswing may occur some time during
next year, but should not be serious.
These predictions are made in a
period of great uncertainty, ano
merely represent the composite opin-
ion of various government officials
in the light of the best information
available Many things might happen
II change the present outlook, espec
tally in view of the chaotic situation
in Europe.
