Johnny Robb, the Madrillon's S
trumpet playing orchestra leader, is
not one to shove it aside and try to
think of something else when he
gets musical idea. When it occurs
to him that bit of music might
sound just as we'll if it were a dance
tune, he sets out Immediately to
have a special arrangement made,
which shows you what he thinks
Of his ideas. Not long back, for in
stance, he and his band burst forth
one night with a rumba version of
"Chiquita Banana" heretofore only
a radio commercial advising you to
keep your bananas to heck out of
the refrigerator. And now Madrillon
dancers are likely to find themselves
scampering about to rhythmic ar
rangement of ''Valse Triste," a
treatment that is a lot hvelier than
that other one you used to know
Mr.. Robb is not the first, of course,
to see such possibilities in "Valse
Triste." There was a time when
Sacha Lucas would play it for
dancers, back when he had an Or
chestra at the Troika. This was
no special arrangement, to be sure,
but rather was a masterful violin
solo played against light rhythmic
accompaniment by the rest of the
band. And Sacha played it only be-
cause he was impishly in league with
a pair of scoundrels who hoped there
might be some cataclysmic effect on
the minds of night club habitues
forced to listen to dirgelike medley
of "Valse Triste," ."Anitra's Dance"
and Gloomy Sunday" The medley
never had any noticeable results, but
the three kept hoping.

Sometimes it seems as if it might
be better just to leave unopened
kilograms lying about until they
are lost. That would do away with
possibilities for such shocks as the
one we received a few days ago,
when we opened one of those yellow
envelopes to read:

WHAT MRS. LUCE DIDN'T SAY
 tHartford Timesl

CongresSwoman Glare Boothe Luce has been one Of the most out spoken in expressing belief that Governor Raymond E. Baldwin should be drafted for the Republi- can State ticket in the fall. despite his positive statement that he does not intend to run again for elective office.
 It is no more than fair therefore to express wonder as to just how much territory Mrs. Luce intended ot take in her own most recent dis- elaimer of candidacy.
 When she announced some time ago that she would not run for Congress again she put it largely on the ground that she had changed her religious afAliation and was fearful lest a political issue be made of that fact. Since then she has rec peatedly been asked to reconsider and stand again for Congress.
 In her latest statement. Mrs. Lace expressed her appreciation of these pleas, but reiteraies that her decision not to be again 6 candidate for Representative in Congress stands. We should be inclined t0 ace cept that as final and conclusive did not Mrs. Luce repeat and reiteraie that she would not run for Repre- sentative. Her statement does not say that she will not be candidate for any office. it does not mention. for instance. the United States Sen atorship, for which she Is nov per- haps, convinced that Governor Baldwin is not going tO run. lt seems narrowed. perhaps puE1soseiy, lo the House seat only.
 Possibly Mrs. Luce feels that other possibilities were covered by her original statement. which inc dicaied that she did not intend lo be a candidate for anything in i9a6.
 Or could it be that she would not refuse the senatorial nomlnationr
 Ia the light of her feeling about Governor Baldwin we are sure Mrs Luce will pardon nS II we iall 10 find in her statement the ail-in- elusive disclaimer which would take in the Senatorship as well as the seat in the lower house.
