growled and Mr.. Foster put his
singers back to work.
Woman came in the Office a
little while ago to sing the praises
of a local ballet group. Her dis
course on the arts was barely
launched on its high plane when
she stopped in mid-sentence.
"Have you been over to hear
Louis Armstrong;" she asked, ac-
cusingly. "My husband and I
went. the other night and we
haven't had such an exciting time
in years. He's wonderful. We went
for the first show and didn't leave
until 2::30 in the morning"
This sort Of thing takes place
at the Blue Mirror, where Satch-

two-Week stay.
A report has just drifted In
about a Washington man, aboard
the wagon at the moment, who
went into a New York bar and
ordered a Horses Neck. The head

Come Sunday night he will in
stall a slight change Of policy,
instituting continuous dance mu-

back for the occasion will be Los
Chicanos, the frenzied Latin
group which brought a
lot of life to the Old New Or

a couple of nightly floor shows.
Los Chicanos will serve as a
rumba band between sessions Of
Frank Coviello's top-notch dance
music.
Mr.. Fiske and his songs will be
keeping his admirers happy at

Chuck Foster, the boss Of the
new band at the Statler Embassy
Room, is a hard man to heckle.
Man who tried it the other night
didn't get far, anyhow.
do you really think he sounds
like the poor mans Jan Garber?"
said the man to his companion as
Mr.. Foster approached the table.
poor mans Guy Lombardo," !"
said Mr.. Foster cheerfully, as he
sat down and changed the sub
ject.
It is, as a matter Of fact. a
lively and versatile crew over
which Mr.. Foster presides. He
does not lean as much toward the
Isweet-and-low type music as his
advance notices indicated, but he
is firmly aboard the trend back
to dance music. The rhythm is
solid and the melody Is played,
not played around. and still there
is distinctive quality about the
arrangements.
One of the pleasanter aspects of
the Embassy Rooms music in the
Foster fashion is his faith in ly-
RIGS. Almost everything Mr.. Fos-'
ter's band plays is also sung by
Milly Coury or Lee Shearin, or
often by both, which adds a muSi-
cal comedy touch.
when people ask to hear q
song they want to hear the
words" says Mr.. Foster with i'm
peccable logic. $50 Ilet them hear
the words"
He has hired a pair of talented
young people to carry out this
notion. Mr.. Shearin is a cut above
most young men who sing with
bands and it probably won't be too
long before Mr.. Foster is hiring a
replacement to let his singer move
on to better things. There is a
definite appeal to Miss Coury's
voice and she is pert and pretty
with lively, expressive features.
She can sell something like the
old Norman ditty, IT Wanna Get
Married" in fine style.
Mr.. Foster, incidentally, is not
at all sorry that he turned his
back on baseball and took up mu-
sic.
"I was a good third baseman,"
he said, looking back. Had ter
rife arm. But never would have
made the big time. Couldn't hit
my hat size.

d. Gabriels Home School So
ciety formally closed their scho-
iastic activities at their last meet
ing held at st. Gabriel school Sum
day. Mrs. Jessie Gardner, chair
man, appointed several commit
tees to carry out plans for events
relative to commencement exer-
clses. Miss Ernestine Banks has
summed up the accomplishments
of this active society as follows.
For the school year ending a
few weeks from now. the st. Ca
briel Home School Society had
for its aim, ITO raise the STAN
dards of our School, Meetings
were held twice each month from
September through April, at which
representative from SO families met
with the sisters to discuss pro-
blems and ways and means of
solving them.
The first step toward the goal of
elevated standards was the pur-
chase of standardized tests and
extra reading material, through
which all St. Gabriel's students
have reached education level equ-
al to any.
Instead of one or two parent
nights" during the National Educa
ton Week, a series of class work
demonstrations were given at the
regular meetings of the society.
Each one gave a clear view of just
what the children are doing in
school and how they do it.
The spring effort was band in
struments which have been placed
in the school for each child from
End grade up.
All these things were attained
by a loyal group of parents and
sisters at a cost Of nearly $4,000
with no assessments whatever, but
through work and prayers.
