Fonci les
BY Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD. March 13 - Bob
Crosby looks only a little ike Bro
ther Bing. doesn't sing as he does,
Lover coached or aided by him. But
now it's apparent that the Brothers
Crosby are much alike in one way
they share an amazing talent for
Nidas-like shoWmanship.
Here is Bob. now. leading his band
at d local dance palace. working on
i big radio program turning out
paonograph records in spare mo-
ments, and listening politely to the
rising bids of the movie studios. If
anybody mentions $4,000 per pic
tare for the band he may assent.
otherwise they'll hit the road again
and resume their gravy grabbing at
the big one-night stands.
Young Mr. Crosby-he's % has
handsomely justified the hunch of
a group of musicians who six years
age offered him their leadership.
At the time he was a mediocre vo-
caliSt with other dance bands, and
he couldn't play SO much as taps
on any instrument He still can't
But his lack of technical knowledge
of music is more than balanced by
the aforementioned shoWmanship
Bob Crosby knows not only what
the customers want, but what
time of evening they want it. Like
t!1lS
I think of it in terms of a guy
and his gal, an individual couple
They arrive at 8, say, and for half
an hour they just want to looks
things over They dance past the
stand and she says, He doesn't
look much like Bing,' and he says
I see they've got seven brasses'
Pretty soon they get the feel of the
music and really want to dance. By
II O'Clock they're tired and want
TO be entertained.
Comes 11:30, and they get dim
lights and sweet music. This gives
the lad a chance to pitch his pri-
vate, copyrighted brand of romance
By midnight he'll have the situation
we'll in hand if he's ever going to
SO from IL to l o'clock it doesn't
make any difference what we play
That general formula applies any
where, but the mood and tempo OF
the performance changes with the
locale. Crosby told how different
