INTRODUCING JIMMY
RLANTON

After considerable delay exper-
Hnced by most of the record re-
viewers, Coiumbias arrived again
last week, among them BLUES and
PLUCKED AGAIN, two duets fea-
turing Duke Ellington and his new
bass player from st. Louis, Jimmy
fnlanton. And you can mark down
Blanton'S name for future refer
ence. Although he's not as good as
the greatest Of them all, Wellmann
Braud, he's poison on strings with
complete mastery of his instrument
In fact, this record sounds as if

If you approach the Two new
VarsityS by w. G. Handy with the
attention of hearing how the
Daddy Of the Blues" plays and
sings his own compositions, the ex-
perience will be far more enjoyable
than if you expected good jazz or
vocalizing from Handy. The grand

LOVELESS LOVE, and plays NUT

five from Louis Armstrong plus

NEW WORCESTERSHIRE Co.
lumbia Broadcasti1g System will
carry the Strains o1 Count Basle's
music at the NAACP 31st ami
verSary ball here February 9, over
a national hookup through fifteen
stations on the chain, the Associa-
ton announced.
The affair will be held at the
Golden Gate ballroom, 142nd street
and Lenox avenue. Among the
celebrities who will attend is Joe
Louis, the heavyweight champion,
who will be among the special
guests at the dance. Louis will
come to the dance after his cham
pionship fight with Arturo Godoy,
Of Chile, at Madison Square Gar
den the same night.
The broadcast will last for half
an hour beginning at 1870 a. m.
The program will be carried over
stations as far as the west coast.
Because southern stations are gen.
orally closed at that hour, the
broadcast Will probably be hearQ
only as far south as Washington,
D. c., it was said. The Association,
however advised all its branches to
check with their local CP- radio
stations.
The New York affair is the key
dance in a series which will in
clude dances in many of the larger
cities in the country, with several
smaller localities participating.
Money raised from the sale of
tickets for the dance will help to
cut deficit from the last anti
lynching fight, and to aid in push
ing the present anti-lynching bill
through the Senate.
