The Statler's Mark Monte isn't
the kind of fellow who won't play
unless he can be captain Of the
team.
In order to be captain, sandlot
style at least, you have to own
the ball-and all sorts Of things
can happen to it. Like flying
through the plate glass window
of the delicateSsen next door, or
dropping on the back of an east
bound truck, or flying neatly
through an open manhole cover.
The captain also has to wait
until somebody's music lesson is
through, persuade somebody else's
sister that she shouldn't run out
on the field after her brother, and
try to drown out various maternal
calls to dinner.
In other Notwithstanding our
allegory like fox terrier in the
blue serge suit department OF a
clothing store-Mark Monte is
more than happy to be nothing
more than the man who leads the
relief band at the New York Plaza
every winter.
To be blunt-and once again
allegorical-this suave guitar1st is
perfectly content to play second
fiddle to whatever other bands
move into, and out Of, the Plaza.
A name band is nomadic sort
of outfit which covers more ground
than a Senate subcommittee on
an inspection trip. And our man
Monte, who travelled with such
bands as Shep Fields IN his
younger days, finds more pleasure
pouring over a seed catalogue on
his half acre Long Island estate
than he would In checking a road
map on O. bus.
But to get back TO that captain
business. Sure, Monte Is the
leader Of q five-piece orchestra.
But that sized group is more a
battery or q backfeld than a
whole team.
To have full team-allegories
be hanged. To have a big name
band, Monte figures. you also
have to have an in with a manu-
facturer of aspirin. The bigger
your name, the bigger your head
aches. Besides having to worry
about such things as how to meet
a $4,000 weekly payroll on $4,000
weekly income, you have more
personnel problems than a B-29
wing assembly plant which has
run out of midgets.
In a big band, you have prob
lens, mayhap. such as having a
girl singer who has a crush on
a blacksmith in Crosscreek, Mo-,
and wants to either leave the
band or have it play a year-long
engagement in Crosscreek (pop.
374); or a drummer whose wife
constantly tmplores you to let
him off in time to get back to the
hotel to give the baby It's two
o'clock bottle: or a sax section
which is at civil war among itself
over the best kind Of reed to Use.
or a trumpet section which is on
the verge of a silence strike be-
cause the trombones have nine
beat rest in Begin The Beguine,' y
whereas trumpets have but
three-beat rest.
Thanks, but no thanks, says
Monte, who has turned down such
opportunities as a chance to form
a big band to go on tour with
Hildegarde, thereby winning fame.
a f1eeting popularity, and an
aspirin addiction.
He is more than content to 60

spends its summers within Con-

Long, the only 1eft-handed vio-

is another one of those fellows

pays.
