ALONG MELODY 
By Roland C. Irving


 Hello, Gang! Sorry to have missed last week, but it was just one of those things. Was invit- ed to attend the Joe Louis-Billy Conn fight. You all know Bill Robinson, our worlds greatest tap dancer, holds the record for run ming backwards, but after the night of June 19, Billy should turn that record over to Billy Conn. For the first rounds all that was missing was Wayne King, playing some of his sweet waltzes to have a perfect Ballet Dance Act for some Night Club, then at the opening of the 9th round, switch over to one of Ben- ny Goodman's old recordings and have Trumpeter Ziggie E1man play and sing just the first line, as follows, "We Meet, and the Angels Sing" Black-out, curtain, and, boy, what a beautiful fnsb. Joe takes his bow as the star of the "show."
