Swing Maestros
In Battle for

By the Associated Press.

NEW 4OfIh.
The battle of the juke boxes is on
again!
When the Petrillo ban went into
effect, Harry James was the acknowl-
edged king of the jukes. The bobby
socks and jazz fans bought his rec
ords in such quantities that no ar
gument was countenanced.
Now, after two years of recording
idleness, the situation is free-for-
all, with every swing band and jazz
combination in the country having q
try.
Vaughn Monroe was the first Or
chestra to make a recording after
the ban was lifted. 1t was The
Trolley Song" and it is selling in
comfortable quantities even though
the quality of the record is not of
the best.
But the real race started only last
week. Artie Shaw, fresh out of serv-
ice made several discs which will be
released within few days Himself
former recording champion, he has
engaged some first-rank swing musi-
clans and is paying unbelieyably
high salaries for side men," the fel-
lows who toot in the brass and reed
sections.
Other orchestras which will be
right on top pitching for the juke
title are Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey.
both of whom were close to the top
in other years; Vaughn Monroe,
Duke Ellington, Charley Spivak,
frankie Carle and Stan Kenton.
There also are all sorts of new
orchestras, such as George Paxton's,
which is solid" .
Johnny Long quit the sweet
swing" classification and entered
swing, and his past popularity plus a
brisk publicity splash is hoped to
put him up with the top boys.

Youth is having a tremendous
fling in Hollywood right now. And
it's nice-makes the tinsel and gilt
ter, If not more real, at least little
brighter. BY an odd turn Of events,
the more important players in every
studio are nearly all in their Dos
Turhan Bey, Van Johnson. Esther
Williams, June Allyson, Diana Lynn,
June Haver, Jeanne Grain, Lauren
Bacail, Joyce Reynolds. And John
Kodiak, who is a little older than
the rest, but still young at 30. They
are nice to be with, too. They may
change when they get older and
more used to Hollywood success. But
while they are still pleasant, let's
look them over.
June Allyson was lucky to meet up
with Producer Joe PaSternak, the
guy who took a chance on Deanna
Durbin in Three Smart Girls" Joe
believes in the numbers racket, be-
cause his first with June was Two
Girls and Sailor" She has just
finished Music for Millions" for the
same producer. First time l saw
June she was screaming herself into
a breakdown as the vim and bounce
girl in the Broadway Best Foot
Forward" Frankly, was bored. So
were the movie moguls who plastered
her face with sophisticated makeup
for her first screen tests 1t was Pas
ternak who said, Let's keep this one
natural" She is now described in
the ads as the typical American girl.
But the description that pleases the
little blond most is the Margaret
SULLIVAN of musical comedy"
She Takes Life Easy.
June takes life easy in Hollywood.
She lives alone in an apartment with
a housekeeper. She does not go out
in the evenings overmuch. But for
a while her steady date was John
Kodiak, whom she then considered
the most gentlemanly actor in Holly
wood (she didn't like Van johnson
because he talked too much about
his work.. June is now more or less
with Dick Powell, but she swears
she docs not intend to commit
matrimony with him" But you
never can tell with a statement like
that.
John Kodiak is another of the
younger set who says he will not
marry for some time. If any one
can change his mind, it's Anne Bax-
ter who once swore she would never
marry an actor but who seems to
prefer Kodiak to the rest. Kodiak
was discovered on Q radio show in
Chicago and brought to Hollywood
by Metro who allowed him to Ian
'guish in "B" movies for II months
before Alfred Hitchcock borrowed
him for Tallulah Bankhead in Life
boat" He is now an "a" star, with
the lead in "A Bell for Adano"
They wanted me to change my
name" John tells me, "but I said
What's wrong with Kodiak? If m
a success the name won't matter.
And if I flop it won't matter. And,
besides, my mother and father would
object" John, a Ukranian, recent
ly brought his parents to live on a
ranch near HOLLYWOOD Which
sounds as though the Kodiak family
is here to stay. I hope so.

Does little Esmeralda scream when
you want to rest? Does she bring
home stray dogs and cats? Does
she want to run the show?
If so, don't shout her down. Don't
spank her. Esmeralda may be a

actress, perhaps a second Tallulah
Bankhead or Paulette Goddard.

Here are some pointers on how
definite traits of personality may
blend into an actors makeup:

Cordiality-which shows its sub

of the entertainers instinct.
ympathy-which endoWs one with

ubjectiveness-whi when high

keeping him more interested in 9TH
ers than in Thoughtful self-appraisal.
ggressiveness-whic must have
high scoring for an actor. He
will have manv obstacles to over

Self Criticism Helps.
Critical ability-which an actor
must have to show discrimination
and taste. Too much, though, pro-
duces wrangling, antagonistic

career.
