Piano in the Band
Bv Dale Currl

By Dale CurrGn. Ne1U York.
Reynal & Hitchcock.
One of the few authors to avail
himself of the absorbing subject
matter offered by present-day swing
bands, Mr.. Curran contributes a
noteworthy addition to the field,
both Of the novel and of chronicled
jazz. Primary, however, is the pene-
trating study he makes of the peo-
pie and workings of a big-time
dance orchestra revealed through
the course of restricted story plot.
In terse, direct fashion, Mr.. Cur
ran relates tale of struggle in JEFF
Walters Band; between men who,
with an urge to play in the newly
created jazz mode, conflict with their
single-minded, overbearing leader
whose interest lies oppositely in
profting on the acclaimed sweet"
style and his past reputation. This
is a set-up, incidentally, that gives
the author opportunity to speak
firmly in favor of jazz playing as
an art.
Dividing his book into separate
scenes, most of which cover a Ma
tion-wide tour of the band, Mr. Cur
ran places his strife-laden episodes
against some vivid detail such as
clamorous dance-halls and crowded
and smoky "gin mill" gatherings.
Piano in the Band" affords a sub
stantial view Of our popular bands
as they generally exist today.

GreenbeIt Comes Of Age

Nothing in the short eventful history of Greenbelt
has been portentous of good and evil than the
recent announcement that the government Is about to
throw us out It is of course pleasan
to realize that have of ge and
sidered capable of managing own destiny. Yet
few classes have approached commencement with
less certainty as to their future and less pre-
cedent to guide them than is Greenbelt, facing the
and problems of cooperative ownership. It is
because of this that the prospect of being
is both promising of high social adventure End
deep bewilderment.
Nothing would be more encouraging to the coopera-
tive movement than the example of town success
fully running and owning itself. By the token,
a partial failure would be used for years to
example, indicative of the tmpossibi1ity
of human beings ever cooperating to the extent of
sharing the ownership of their homes, believ-
ing in and working for their common welfare, and
building together toward the dignity of true
operative society Because the idea of cooperative
living is on the highest plane of man's social
thinking, failure would be accepted a matter of
by the majority of indivi dual istic' Ameri
cans. Indeed, considering the greed, selfismess,
laziness and other very human qualities of mankind,
it is improbable that many would offer odds the
experiments s being success. Nevertheless, the
prospect of somehow mddling through coming out
top, of owning own town and providing
selves wi tn better way of life than would other
wise be possible is interesting and the results
of important, that not to take this op-
portunty and give it everything have, would mark
US as failure, not only to ourselves, but to our
time, our country and our fel1omen.
But, make no mistake, it will have to be real,
cooperative effort demanding the constant interest
and all the talent that indivi duals cap
able of contributing to a common effort. Self
Interested groups Will do no harm to the exper-
iment than minterested individuals. Only by in
dividual cooperative effort towards goa
can the pro ject succeed. That it succeed
cept without question. Whether will succeed will
depend on intelligence in assuming the respons-
Utilities of cooperative life.

THIS EVENING.
Ten Round Bout Expected
to Draw Near Capacity
Crowd
BY HUGO HooKJAB

With an excellent weather report
on hand for this afternoon and
evening, all that remained for Wa
terbury A. g. officials to do was look
forward to crowd of 1900 to 5000
expected to storm the gates of Ran
dolph- Cloves stadium tonight for
the express purpose of seeing wheth-
er or not Ernie "Cat" Robinson of
New York can square things with
Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury in
a return bout, this time ten round
er. In their first meeting, few
weeks back, Dolan outpointed Rob-
inson in an eight round go, but
had his hands full outwitting the
hard-pnching negro, who, since that
time has stopped Dick Turcotte and
beat one of the outstanding metro
politan CLUB" fighters, Carl Dell in
q Hartford ring.
incidentally, Dell and Robinson
may meet in q return go next
Thursday at Buckley Staium, Hart
ford.
Important
Tonight's fight is the one that will
be loaded with Importance for both
Dolan and Robinson. Dolan, OF
course has one win against the
Cat" who insisted after the last
bout with Irish Edward, that, had
he known he was boxing a southpaw
he would have trained differently,
but Is well ready for him this time.
Actually, Robinson expects to win
by a knockout which will be state
wide sensation if he can put it over.
Dolan, after week Of training in
New York has a surprise or two OF
his own to put forward, and there
is chance that his local admirers
will be surprised by, the amount OF
smuggling he takes part in, which,
mixed with his perfect boxing is
figured to be enough to thwart any
kayo ambitions Of the well-condi-
toned Robinson.
In addition to the main bout.
there will be three six FOUNDERS and
four round uprising, in which old
fashioned slugging should predom-
mate because the fighters who are
listed are known to care little for
the scientific" side of boxing. For
instance, the very first bout shows

bangor and Battling Billy Brown Of
