BY THE SPECTATOR.

All is not easy in the life of a
night club band leader. custom and
etiquette and the manager OF the
place where he works all decree that
his attitude must ever be one to In
dicate that the customer is always
right. Since he is a musician and
most of his listeners are not, this
gives many an orchestra leader a
haunted look, because he knows
before he leaves home at night that
8 out of 10 among the customers he
is about to encounter will be wrong.
Thus it is a happy moment to
witness when one of these lads who
waves a baton, a set of trap drums
or a violin in front of a band is
harassed to the point where he flares
in self-defense. Sasha LukaS, who
chestra at the Sazerac room, for in
stance, is a musieian-a skilled one
and he cannot forget the original
when he plays Chopin's most IA
miliar "Polonaise," even if some one
did turn 1t into a romantic ditty
called Till the End of Time"
All of which brought belligerent
dancer up the other night to tell
Sasha he didn't play that thing
right" NJ Lukas smiled bleak
smile. You gotta play it soft and
smooth" the customer explained.
That was enough for Sasha.
Look" he said, that is the
'Polonaise.' I play it like it was the
'Polonaise' If you want it soft and
smooth, you get Perry Como to sing
it to you
One of the things Ye Spectator
wants is a cymbalom, if you have
an 'in" with Santa Claus. Of course,
we couldn't make cymbalom sound
like Joseph Moscovici, who plays
one at Michel's, makes it sound, but
after all, he has been at it for so years
and is generally recognized as the
master of the instrument. He is
known as the Heifetz of the cymba-
lom, or even the Walter Geiseking
of the cymbalom, if that name
didn't have political connotations
Mr.. MoScovici is a great and Won
derful artist and when he plays a |
cymbalom it makes the sort of
music you want to have around the |
house. That's why we want one.
The answer is near at hand if you
have been sitting there muttering
whats that guy talking about?
Cymbaloms? Who ever heard of a
cymbalom?" Well, the Chinese have
heard of it, only they call it diff
ferent name-something Chinese
and they tune it to their own
strange musical scale and not to
ours. The Arabs have an Arabic |
word for it. The French thought it
was a very fancy device couple of

NEW TRADE BULLETIN
 NOW AVAILABLE

Of considerable importance to Wrangell merchants, it is pointed out by Mrs Frank Barnes, local OPA clerk, is the recent revision of Maximum Price Regulation 194, Al askas basic price regulation, effec- tive since Feb. 28, 1945.
 The simplification of prtctn g methods which this revision effects for merchants is considerable, Mrs. Barnes said, offering an alternate percentage markup formula r pricing those goods not already sub ject to specific dollars and cents ceilings. This new provision has been generally very well received by the trade, it was explained. However, some confusion still exists in the minds of some as to just how this revision affects their customary pricing practices, the OPA said.
 A comprehensive bulletin, inelud- ing typical questions and answers has been prepared by the Territor- ial OPA office and is now ready for distribution. Any merchant who has not received his copy direct may ob- tain same from the War Price and Rationing Board office in the City Hall, Mrs. Barnes said,
