And that, says Xavier Cugat, is
what makes Latin music.
Plenty of American bands can
play the melodies fine" says Cugat,

But Latin music is number of

Latin American moods in popular
music.
His band. heard in North and
South America on regular radio
program called Cugat's Rumba Re-
vue, is divided about evenly between
North American muSicians-playing
the traditional violins, clarinets,
trumpets and trombones - and
Latins-playing the maracas, yiro,
bongoS, conga, and so on. One OF
his mainstays is Mignelito Valdes,
who was singing Afro-Cuban songs
on the Havana water front before
he joined the Cugat band.
Rhythms Are Catching On.
His sweet singer, the beautiful
Carmen Costilla, was Spanish
Senorita working as stand-ln for
Dolores del Rio when he met her.
She has been Mrs. Cugat for many
years.
Cugat has been forcing the rumba
and the tango on unwilling Amerl-

now, he thinks, the Latin rhythms
are taking-for good.
I'VE suffered for playing the

I was a wild animal, but we never

Cugat says professional rumba

around the ballroom in snowy steps,
scared the Americans off the Latin
dance, Actually, there is very little
movement in the rumba properly

and it doesn't take lessons to
learn. (That'S what Cugat says.
The tango is different-to dance

Students Like the COnga.
One of the biggest arguments for
the rumba, as opposed to swing. says
Cugat archly, is the women, who

The Latin dances caught on first

Cugat was child prodigy on the
violin. He was making concert ap-
pearances at the age of II and won
contract to fill in the gaps on
Caruso's song recitals at the age
of Is.
Like many another child genius,
Cugat had other strings to his bow.
Caruso amused himself between
concert stops by drawing caricatures
Of his associates. One day he drew
particularly irritating take-off
of his young violinist, and Cugat
drew a caricature of Caruso in re-

And Vera Zorina
Became a Dancing
COmedienne

CHICAGO.
Blond Vera Zorinas transition
from a classical dancer exclusively
to a dancing comedienne was born
in a real life version of this antique
joke:
He-Can you play the piano?
She-I don't know: I never tried.
In London in 1887 producers Of
"On Your Toes" were scouting for
some one to portray a tempera-
mental Russian ballerina. Miss
Zorina was a top-f1ight dancer ap-
pearing there in Col. De Basils
Ballet Russo, so they asked her If
she could act.
II told them, I don't know; I
never tried" Miss Zorina relates
now with a laugh.
Accent Was Pleasant.
She tried and found she could. 1t
all was as easy as that. she VOWS,
although she never had spoken a
line on The stage before in her life.
Her experience as a dancer had
given her stage presence not likely
to be found in an out-and-out be-
ginner and her European accent on
precise English grammar was pleas
ant to the ear. The eye long had
been pleased by her graceful figure,
attractive face and golden hair.
The part was hers and she deserted
the formal ballet and the life of an
agile but mute mannequin for muSi-
cal comedy. where she has been
/ star ever since.
Has No Imitators.
After "On Your Toes" the young
Norwegian beauty shell be "a in
January played opposite Dennis
King in II Married an Angel three
seasons ago. and currently is the
feminine lead in louisiana Pur-
chase"
In the two last named musicals
her roles have capitalized on her
highly personaized type of comedy,
founded principally on naivete,
which has no imitators in the the
ater today. They, too, allowed ample
room for display of her talent for
dancing, an art she says she's been
pursuing since learning 10 walk.
But her deSertion of the ballet
hasn't moved her to abandon the
rigorous training schedule to which
the classical dancer must adhere.
The theatergoer might assume
reasonably enough that the dance
routines she performs eight times
weekly in the show would keep her
in trim.
Takes Dancing Lessons.
That is not enough" Miss 70
r1na emphasizes. Each morning I
exercise an hour at the studio. and
each night before the show I prac-
tice another half hour with my
partner. I could not think of not
practicing any more than a vio-
linist or singer could Just because
he is giving concerts regularly"
When she's playing in New York
she takes dancing lessons. These
are far advanced and intended to
improve Interpretation and correct
mistakes. She learned the required
fundamentals of the ballet in Nor
way. where she began taking lessons
at 8 years of age.
Lessons in diCtion to improve her
handling of the speaking side of her
roles take up more of her time.
When she's on the road. with no
days off from the theater. she has
little leisure left after work and
study.

Last year hundreds of towns and cities
held their own Bowl of Rice Parties to
the everlasting gratitude of the people

too, put their pennies and dollars to-
gether and enabled our Bureau to send
millions of quinine tablets, quantities of
surgical instruments, almost two hum

supplies vitality needed by the Chinese
Red Cross and Medical Relief Corps to
alleviate the suferings of China's war

JERRY SULLIVAN PASSES AWAY AT SEATTLE

According to a telegram re ceived here last night, Jerry Sullivan died in the Providence Hospital, Seattle, at 8 o'clock p m. Sunday.
 In the passing of Jerry Sulli- van, an old landmark is remov- ed from the Seward Penisula, particularly the Kougarok dis trict, where he diligently and successfully applied himself in the development of large placer holdings.
 Jerry was one of the first To- cators of mining claims in the Kougarok, and through his cou- rage, tenacity, and resourceful- ness, was responsible for bring ing that district into one of the large producers of the Second Division.
 Jerry first came to Alaska in 1897 and took part in every stampede from Dawson to Nome. He has a host of friends who will miss him.
