With a bapful OF more than 1000
songs of Negro folklore and fable,
the Deep River Boys began a new
series of programs over the NBC-
Red network lost week. They are
heard four mornings weekly On
Sundays at BIS a. M, Mondays
and Thursdays at $50 d. N. and
Saturdays at 7:15 a. NJ. CST.
One Of the most versatile vocal
quintets in the country, the Deep

But a slip-up occurred in her

hensive that patrons become dis

Swings Doom
is Forecast By
Coast Composer

LOS ANGELES-CW WS)-Leon
Rene, winner of the A5CAp award
for the most original tune of last
Sear, says that Swing is definitely
on its way OUT This Statements
was made to a group OF interested
persons soon after the noted song
writer, arrived in this city from
New York where he had studied
the trend in music. He further
stated that small combinations
with sweet music and American
treatments of foreign music will
be the vogue in the near future.
Rene stated that Ceelle Burke
has one of the finest aggregationS
in America and his mugic is ahead
Of the style. He pointed to the rage
of Latin American music inl New
York and says as soon as Burke
goes East, he will be ranked as
one of the best band leaders il
the country. The noted song writ
er says that New Yorkers talk more
about Burke's rendition OF the hit
tune when The Swallows Come
Back To Capistrano' than they do
about those recorded by other
name bands and individuals.
Rene's statement about the
music of Latin America s'mging
over the United States are verified
by a six-page layout in the nation-
ally distributed magazine "Pic."
Paul Whiteman, writing in that
magazine, says that South Ameri-
ca has successfully resisted the
onslaught of American Jazz and
Swing and has in turn invaded us
with it's own music.
The words of Paul Whiteman
cannot be taken lightly because
he has remained in the front ranks
of dance band through many
periods and his study of what the
public demands in dance orches-
ira must be regarded highly. Rene
has told the people on the Coast
what is expected of band i'll the
first class spots and points to
Burke's success with music which
has its roots in South America and
the South Sea Islands.
Burke has been playing at the
Bal Tabarin for more than three
years and patrons stand around
the band while he and his boys
play that music which is oh so
different. He has done recordings
for various companies and made
numerous motion pictures. He is
about ready to come East and be-
lieves that his music will be in the
forefront ere 1941 has passed.

For many veteran Negro COM

saver. Before it came upon the
scene, our popular song writer's
had to depend solely on the royal
ties grudgingly paid by sometimes
'ephemeral and unscruplous publish

assurance that they too might not

In short. although Tin Pan Alley

sllne that the sum disburSed to ltS

negligible.
