THE TOPS IN POPS 



'J'HIS year. Tommy Dorsey celebrated his 
fifteenth year in the band business. He oc- 
cupies a unique niche in the entertainment 
field. World-famous for his brilliant technique 
in jazz, he is a highly respected musical artist 
who has made classical recordings, too. The 
music world respects his keen judgment of 
talent and his ability to build new stars. 

•The Dorsey musical aggregation also has 
been the incubator for many of the most im- 
portant names in show business. The stimu- 
lating "Tee Dee" personality has sparked 
innumerable radio and film appearances. His 
famous theme, "Get- 
ting Sentimental Over 
You," won for Dor- 
sey the familiar label, 
"The Sentimental 
Gentleman." 

Born in Mahoney 
'Plane, Pa., where his 
father was an accom- 
plished instrumentalist, 
organizer. Tommy attended 
high school in Shenandoah. His father gave 
him intensive musical training in every instru- 
ment of the brass section before the trombone 
was selected. 

His first earnings, however, came from driv- 
ing a truck for a meat market. For, this he 
received $16 a week, but he soon discovered 
that ■ trombone playing, even in small bands. 
was .much more remunerative. He and his 
brother. Jimmy, played numerous one-nighters 
together, traveling throughout the coal regions 
of Pennsylvania. They finally organized their 
first orchestra, which they called the Dorsey 
Brothers Novelty Band. Although their group 
didn't make the grade outside their home town, 
they were soon offered a job with "big time" 
name bands, and spent the next ten years 
switching from one band to another on the 
road, on radio stations, and in theaters. 




By 1935, the Dorsey brothers had blown 
their horns with almost every major name or- 
chestra, and then they organized their own sen- 
sational unit, which boasted, among other 
celebrated side men, the late Glenn Miller 
. on the trombone. After almost two yiars, the 
brothers broke up and Tommy opened with 
his own band at the French Casino. The rest 
is history. For ten years Tommy Dorsey has 
retained his leadership on the air, in personal 
appearances, and on RCA Victor recordings. 
One of his latest platters on the RCA label 
is "C'est Si Bon," with a good vocal job -by 
pretty Frances Irvin. It's backed by "I Oughta 
Know More About You." Jack Duffy joins 
Frances on this Dorsey disc. Another new 
and excellent Tommy Dorsey waxing is "Com- 
in' Thru the Rye." coupled with "I Hadn't 
Anyone Till You." 

Perry Como fans won't want to bypass 
Perry's latest Victor platter. "Hoop-De-Doo." 
It's a fast-beat novelty tune with a real music- 
hall bounce and delightful lyrics by Perry 
and the Fontane Sisters. In "On the Outgoing 
Tide," the plattermate, Como is at his best, 
singing in slow, lilting rhythm of a love that 

will survive earthly obstacles. 

• 

Capitol Records has just released a slew 
of new discs. If you're a Dixieland fan, take 
a gander at the records bearing the Capitol 
label and you're sure to discover the best in 
Dixieland. Sharkey and His Kings of Dixie- 
land waxed what we consider the best Dixie- 
land piece of the month — "In the Mood," 
backed by "Solo Mio Stomp," Sharkey Bo- 
nano is on the trumpet; Santo Pecora on the 
trombone; Lester Bouchon on the clary; Jeff 
Riddick, piano; Chink Martin, tuba; and 
Monk Hazel on the drums. This combo makes 
for a sure-fire winner. 



Paul Weston got in on the renewed Dixie- 
land fad and recorded two old Dixie favor- 
ites, "Original Dixieland One-Step" and 
"Panama." Paul does many of the orchestral 
backgrounds on the Capitol discs, and this 
new' release is up to his usual fine" standard. 

Jan Garber and his orchestra can take a 
bow for their version of "The Old Piano Roll 
Blues." The flip-over is "Clodhopper," a 
strictly instrumental job. The label is purple, 
which means it's Capitol. 

A record that's getting a lot of play is 
"Choo'n Gum." Kitty Kallen on the Mercury 
label does a great job with the song, and on 
the reverse side she is equally effective with 
another brassy tune entitled "Juke Box Annie." 

Also on a Mercury waxing, Bobby Sher- 
wood and his orchestra will have you jumping 
to his great interpretation of "Muskrat Ram- 
ble" and "Dixieland Ball," 

Incidentally. Frankie Laine had better 
watch his step. Satan from "Satan Wears a 
Satin Gown" doesn't like the way that girl 
from the swamp is taking the play away from 
her; "Swamp Girl" is a big hit. You'll like 
it though if you latch on to these two Laine 
Mercury recordings, 

Columbia has just released an album by 
Arthur Godfrey called "Arthur Godfrey and 
His Friends." The old redhead sings some 
of the tunes he helped make popular, such as 
"Too Fat Polka," Candy and Cake," and 
"Making Love, Ukulele Style." 

Frank Sinatra, Jane Russell and the Mod- 
cmaires team up to make mighty good listening 
on a Columbia platter entitled "Kisses and 
Tears." On the flip-over Frank works without 
Jane in "When the Sun Goes Down." 

Decca Records has a winner with the An- 
drews Sisters' platter. "I Wanna Be Loved." 
Patty Andrews handles the vocal with her 



sisters backing her up. The flip side is another 
Andrews Sisters gem called "I've Got to Get 
Out of the Habit." 

You'll be singing a ditty called "Teasin' " 
very shortly. It's a new Coral platter excel- 
lently pen -fined by Connie Haines. The re- 
verse side is an effective rendition of "All I 
Do Is Wantcha." Georgia Gibbs on the Coral 
label has turned out a fine job doing "I Don't 
Care If the Sun Don't Shine" and "I'll Get 
Myself a Choo Choo Train." Coral is a sub- 
sidiary of Decca, and they are turning out 
good discs in the tradition of the latter com- 
pany. 

M-G-M released a new Billy Eckstine rec- 
ord entitled "My Destiny," which is reminis- 
cent of an old Eckstine platter, "Somehow." 
The coupler finds Mr. B. adding his magic to 
"Roses." 

Johnny Desmond has recorded one of the 
cutest novelties in many a month. Two dis- 
tinctive melodies and a catchy lyric are all 
wrapped up neatly into a tricky little thing 
called "The Picnic Song." The reverse side 
is "I've Got a Heart Filled .With Love.'* 

If you're a blues fan, you'll want to hear 
the Striders' new Apollo disc — "Five O'Clock 
Blues" and "Cool Saturday Night." 

We've received many letters from you fani 
asking us to list the companies that are pro- 
ducing records in the. three speeds. Here'i 
the info: 

RCA VICTOR 78 45 331/3

time, keep spinning the discs . . . and happy

There's a 300,000-gaIlon tank at the War- 
ner Brothers studio which poses in various 
movies as an ocean, river, or lake. Recently, 
Oscar-winner Jane Wyman had to spend sev- 
eral long, damp days in the tank for shots of 
a scene in which her sailboat overturns in a 
bay. Between "takes," dripping Miss Wyman 
was hustled into towels and robes, and com- 
forted with hot coffee. Despite her moist misery, 
one thing was sure: the pert star couldn't 
drown! Even if she didn't have the finest home- 
made dog-crawl in Hollywood, her safety was 
assured by the presence of at least 100 would- 
be lifeguards— the crew of "The Lady Takes 
a Sailor." When the director informed Jane 
that Bette Davis had once "drowned" in the 
same tank for a dramatic suicide scene, her 
only reply to the grim thought was a plaintive, 
"I wonder if she got as wet as I ami" 



Members of a certain studio casting office 
are sure now that they've heard everything! 
A woman phoned to ask if she could register 
for work. "For yourself?" queried the studio. 
"No," she replied, "I want to register my two 
palm trees. They're awfully pretty and they'd 
look good in a picture." "You must be ribbing 
me," said the casting director, whereupon the 
woman got wrathy and banged down the re- 
ceiver. 



Character-actor Raymond Massey owns a 
pre-Revolutionary Connecticut farmhouse, and 
it'i haunted by an unusual ghost — the ghost 
of a hone! "Our parlor was once a stable," 
explained the star, "and it was there that a 
horse died in 1711." He hasn't seen the equine 
phantom yet, but his invisible presence is com- 
mon knowledge. "People think I'm mad," con- 
tinued Masaey, "when I tell them my ghost 



situation. It seems that horses, poor things, are 
soulless, and therefore aren't supposed to have 
the material from which ghosts are made!"

Strangers 



Dennis Morgan lost most of his 

recent press preview of "Perfect 

which he co-stars with Ginger 



The debuttoning, at the hands of avid auto- 
graph seekers, occurred when he left the the- 
ater after the show. It left Mr. Morgan in 
quite a state of embarrassment, and with the 
feeling that somebody ought to invent a 
"courtesy code" for signature hounds — one 
that would get better results for them, and'at 
the same time leave their victims clad in some- 
thing more than a tie! 

"The 'code'," Mr. Morgan said, "should con- 
tain the following 'don't s': 

"Don't maul an actor. He may need his but- 
tons more than you do. 

"Don't ask him to use his own pen — and 
if you do, don't grab it. It may be a priceless 
keepsake. ' 

"Don't stick your autograph book in his 
car if it's moving away from the curb. You 
might get run over. 

"Don't ask him to write out a special mes- 
sage to you if he's surrounded by other auto- 
graph seekers. Give them a break, too. 

"Don't flash a bulb in his face. It might 
■hatter and cut him. If you must get a picture, 
you'll get better ones by standing further 
away. 

"Don't approach him while he's dining in 
a restaurant. Even an actor is entitled to eat 
in peace. If you must have his signature, wait 
until he gets outside. 

"Most actors and actress," Morgan concluded, 
"really love to give autographs. They'll give 
them all day if things arc kept pleasant and 
comfortable!"
