The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1940-06-08

while the Esquires proved that their
club is to be continually moving and
active organization. Only a week
and band =. On the holiday mite they
featured the King of Hi-de-ho, Cab
Galloway, at the Elks Ballroom in
Cambridge. This adds up to three big
name bands in less than three weeks.
The fair city of Cambridge was
really leaping to Cabs fine music. In
Cabs band were Chu Berry, that very
tough sax player, who saw that the
crowd was sent thoroughly, and Cozy
Coles, a rated drummer, who was
really too fine with "Crescendo in
Drums" One of the numbers that
seemed to cause every one to "pass
right out" was "Chilly Con Conga"
Even the boys in the band went wild
with the click of castenets and tom
toms booming continually. The
arrangement lasted for fully ten min
utes. Yours truly was trying to bug
during this time with a certain young
lady who informed me that her name
was "Dot Jones'. l really don't be
digging this name . Herbie Jaxon
was ambling through the crowds that
were from eight to ten deep in front
of the band-stand. He loked disap-
pointed because there was no "blond
Marion Hutton. Others who shared
this killer music were Moe Robinson,
his sister Gerry and Miss Wilson. Dab
nev and Co. were well represented by
JOHNNY Moulton. Tina Jackson and
Ruth Fowley were also present. Har-
old Weeks was literally seized by one
of the girls there. She refused to turn
him lose. Robert Lane was also seen
living all the pretty women there
The Esquires Club is really turning
EN- on. Look out for coming events,
they really jump. e. FL. The Jones Bro
theirs and George Mouzon made Mon
day the Twenty seventh Lunceford
day in Boston. They feted the young
maestro at the Savoy in the afternoon.
| understand it really was in there.
From ten to two Jimmie played at a
dance at Mechanics Hall. Finally he
was the guest at party following the
dance at Mothers Lunch. This lasted
way into the wee-wee hours of the
morning. At the dance Jimmie really
proved how he has earned the title of
King of Syncopation. He brought back
old songs in a new style that really
killed the bugs. Because of his ar
engagements of Lonesome Road.

Baby, Won't You Please Come
Home, he packed the hall. The Crowd
in front of the bandstand must have
measured about fifteen deep. The jit-
terbugs had to be football players to
stand the punishment that was caused
by the crowded hall. During the in
PERMISSION Sabby Lewis and his band
entertained. From the appearance
they made it seems we have big name
band coming up in Boston. The vo-
calist featured with Sabby, Maria
Hawkins, put every one in the mood
with Indian Summer, easy Does
IT.. This singer has a fine voice, one
of those husky voices that hints, nay,
implies of so much to come. Some of
those present were Gerry and Moe
Robinson, Elinor Joy, Richie Coleman
and Bubby Laney. Those Lippman
boys were also on hand which reminds
me, take it slow, Cocoa, you can't have
both of them. If these big name bands
are to be constantly in the Hub, the
Hub will be a second New York.
