Spectacular and short climbs 20

nary teats by the public when It
domestic their theatrical fayorites.
Press agents and newspaper writ
srs have helped glamorize the ca
reers OF the stars. Yet comparative
ly few scale the ladder OF success
within short periods. One OF the
few is Cab Galloway. who brings
his "Jumpin 1--WE Jubilee" revue
and his Cotton Club orchestra to
the Paradise theatcr. for a weeks
engagement starting Friday, March
~.
After short career as a night
club master OF ceremonies In a
South Side Chicago cafe. Galloway
organized his own orchestra which
he titled, Cab Galloway and his
Alabamans." The band met with
instantaneous favor OF Chicago
cafe-goers. Within six short
months after the band was formed,
Galloway received an OFFER from
New York's famous Savoy ballroom.
Here It would be pleasant TO report
that the Galloway band was a hit.
Instead. they Topped. Two weeks
later. with his hand broken up.
Galloway was hired as the singing
lead for Broadway musical,
Comics Hot Chocolates. On
opening night he sang song.
Amt Misbahavin' which stole
the show. A flop and a Broadway
hit within a month.
Irwin Mills. an astute Broadway
manager, visualized Galloway in
front OF band: signed him TO a
personal contract and once again
placed a baton in his hands. The
new Galloway musical organization
clicked from the start and before
the year was out, Galloway. via
the Cotton club and the radio, be-
came a household word.

Record sales reports prove that
Minnie Is truly international in
scope. Calloway's recordings OF
Minnie's activities have sold wide
ly in such remote places as Bang

And more recently an American
bomber stationed in Africa was
christened Minnie the Moocher."
Minnie was born one night in
New York"s famous Cotton club.
Galloway had just opened there
and was an overnight sensation.
Shortly afterward. Cab and his
manager. Irving Mills sat down TO
discuss song which could become
permanently identified with Cabs

composer. the two sat down early
