HAWKINS BAND
FINE BIG SHOW
HERE ON DEC. 3.

his band. which opens at the Para

ment starting Friday. Dec. 8. Il:
different from the usual orchestra
leader success story. IN that II does
not lead of by telling how difficult
his life was and how many obstacles
he surmounted to become the great
man he is today.
Erskine Hawkins was born on
July 20, 1914, in Birmingham, Ala,
and from that day TO this, his life
has been comparatively easy. His
mother taught school in their home
town and his father "a World War
hero who died in that conflicO was
a successful business man. Erskine
spent his early life in Birmingham,
during which time his mother was
his greatest influence.
In 1880, he enrolled in the Ala
bama State Teachers college work
ing his way through for a bachelor
OF science degree. While attending
classes, the school bandmaster sent
out a call for a trumpet player TO
join the school band.
Since Erskine's family was mus
ically inclined, and the boy had al
ways played around with the drums
because Of his love for music. il
was natural that he should volun-
teer to play the trumpet, il given
an opportunity to study the instru-
ment. This was agreed upon, and
after only few months Of tutoring,
Erskine played first trumpet with
the band.
In the summer Of 1884, the school
sent its band TO play for dance at
the Roseland Ballroom in Asbury
Park, N. j., and the group met with
such acclaim, that it was imme-
diately booked to play at the Har-
lem Opera IA use. The fellow lead
ing the band at that time couldn't
make the engagement, and Hawkins
went along with the duties Of leader
added to his trumpet-playing.
Harlem went wild over this mus
ical Juvenile. and so great was its
success, that the Hawkins band e.
turned to the Harlem Opera House
for another two weeks. establishing
themselves as the ''Bama State Col
legians Orchestra
Today, Erskine Hawkins and his
famous Tuxedo Junction" orches-
ira is rated as one OF the ten best
bands Of the country. Erskines lat
est recording Paper Doll has
turned out to be the most sensa-
tional recording ever made.
