Be on the alert for two grand
tunes of Boston origination re-
Gently recorded by very capable
little singer of the Hub city,
Tommy Todd. The tune I pick
to be a real hit is entitled There
Is No Dream" 1t is very COM
mercial in style and will please
many listeners. On the Flip side
there is a beautiful ballad called
''Will I lever Learn" which is
another grand Job by Tommy.
These two tunes were written by
two local boys, Joe Abraino and
Harry Anderson, who, / think,
should be congratulated. Tommy
has worked as vocalist with
Jerry Wald, that fine clarinetist
and his band and also Johnny
Longs orchestra.

two continents, stopped the show
cold. Lionel Hampton was all
over the place. After Lionel and
band gave the president their
impression of Flying Home" the
President looked at the First
Lady and said, '"Those fellows
are really hot" Lionel and boys
were really in top form that
night. Then to top it off, Benny

Here I am, back on the theme
Of punctuality again. I wish We
could save the time that we lose
by being dilatory and use it for
some other purpose. Sometimes,
our performances are so long in
starting that the audience begins
to clap for some action. This
should be very humiliating to the
promoters Of the programs. Again
consider how unfair 1t is to the
punctual patron to make him
wait thirty or more minutes until
the crowd gets bigger. When
you advertise a performance for
certain price, you are particular
to get your price. When a man
pays to see a performance at a
certain time, he is entitled to see
it at that time. My last time out,
I started punctually, as I usually
do; but about fifteen minutes
were added to the time Of my
performance by having to wait
between numbers while the ush-
ers seated late corners. These ac-
tions are bound to have q bad
effect ON the performers and the
audience. We could all get the
habit of keeping time. We can
punch the time clock when going
to work. The system of punct-
uality has been established in
many activities. Let us establish
it in the realm OF entertainment.
