Lionel Hampton and his two-year

thing they shall long remember.
The house was so packed that

NEW YORK-(C)-GRAND ALL
COLORED REVUE PLANNED-A
sepia revue which promises to be
the real thing, was planned here in
New York this week by George
Hale and he hopes to bring it out
this summer. ;. The title so far
is BLACK Velvet and the stars in
the lineup are Paul Robson, Duke
Ellington and Lena Horne. This
is just rough sketch, but Hale is
negotiating for Bill Robinson and
some great song-writers.
THIS is NEWS-Duke Ellington
is penciled in at the Hurricane on
Broadway where dinners are from
Sl.50 up, no cover charge ever and
two orchestras reign with 80 gla-
morous girls, all day. Hazel Scott
lived at the Hotel Astor while APP

we wrote William Grant Still that
the Young Peoples Philharmonic
were to play his Second Symphony,
he replied that he was very sur

LOUIS JORDAN PROMISES
SHOTS OF HITLER"
BACKSTAGE AT LOEWS'
BY Dolores Calvin

Dy DOAOTCS OdASm
NEW YORK-(Calvin News Ser
vice)-I had formerly written that
Louis Jordan, King of the Juke
Boxes, was to be in the army by
the first of January. Thinking he
was now a Private, / was a little
surprised to find him and his Tim
PAM Five at the Loews State Thea
tire this week beating out Five
Guys Named Moe" which features
each member of the band, for
Broadway.
Backstage, the clarinet and saxo-
phone playing maestro explained
that the Army wanted him-only
on March 5th. Therefore, they'll all
play the Adams Theatre, Newark,
New Jersey, and that'll probably be
their last engagement together. So
ends a great career-but just for
the duration. fIgT .fQ
At the State Theatre Mr.. Jordan is
not billed in name, the whole cheese
being Ed Sullivan, but along with
"a new stage show" He's part of
the surprise" stage show, and
pretty good surprise too! On the
stage, the Jordan boys wear blue
green coats and, as one reporter had
it, they sent the mercury right out
of the top of the thermometer"
When the trumpet and drummer
play Horn and Skins" it's ditto.
Louis Jordan will, however, re-
turn to New York after this next
date, as he will be indicted from
here. What's more, he promised me
some shots of Hitler" He wants to
get in the thick of it all and go ov-
seas Immediately. But when l re-
called having two uncles in the
Army, one a Staff Sgt. after 81
months, and the other still Pfc.
after IS months, he looked sad in
deed.
Anyhow, m sure if Hitler was
told here comes Mr.. Jordan he'd
start running, not caring to know
whether the musician meant bv
shots" bullets or photos. That's the
way Jordan would like it!
