COCKTAIL HOUR.
AT CLUB 666.
FOR MUSICIANS.
Big Crowd Expected At
Dance Monday
Night

Although he is little more than
IS years old, Earl Hines has been
known as Father" TO show folk
and TO hot music fans for more
than twenty years. In recent in
terview, Hines, who brings his
band 10 Graystone ballroom Mon
day night, June 20. explained this
phenomenon,
Hines says he came by the name
because OF his religious devotion.
The son Of orthodox church-going
parents, who played in the church
orchestra. he was imbued with an
appreciation Of religion and re-
ligious music from the time he was
four years old
As a consequence, his social life
was punctuated with comments Of
Biblical origin. In time. out Of
sheer respect for his deeply re-
liglous instincts. he became highly
regarded as a counsellor, even by
actors and musicians old enough
to be his parents.
Today, when he is one Of the
nations foremost jazz musicians.
swing pianist and leader of hot
dance band, the name persists.
Many jazz fans aren't sure when
they hear the name Earl Hines,
but Father Hines-well, everybody
knows Father Hines.
A radio announcer, Ted Pear
son Of the NBC network. actually
pinned the title OF Father on
Earl Hines during an early broad
cast from the Grand Terrace in
Chicago. Pearson had noted Hines
fatherly attitude toward his musi-
clans, particularly that he ad-
dressed each as son" So he began
announcing Father Hines and His
Boys" to the radio listeners.
Vocalists with the Hines orches-
ira are Billy Eckstein and Made
line Greene.
Wilson (Stuz) Anderson and An
drew H. Sneed, promoters Of the
dance Monday night, have arranged
a cocktail hour for Hines and his
band, The party will be held at
Club 66s Monday afternoon, start
ing at five o'clock and continuing
until eight.
Anderson said this week that

who is capable of doing it. and is
the reason for this story the man

when a new show is about to pre-

Of those acts TO see the show Most
producers either give a name to

To some folks that may seem odd.
But to those who know Reed 1t is
nothing new. Chances are he didn't
know himself. at the time, what he
fully intended to do. Maybe, too,
he had no idea OF who was going
