I ' OKAY FOR SOUND A column of disc data on the new movie music By JERRY MASON Y&S Dance: Kay Kyser has been tilt' ing the ticket receipts of local movie emporiums with his second RKO effort, "You'll Find Out." Among other things, four of the most recorded tunes of the year have emerged from that filmusical. Kay has done well by "The Bad Humor Man," "I'd Know You Anywhere," "You've Got Me This Way" and "I've Got A One Track Mind" (Columbia). From there on, the field is practically wide open: Almost every batoneer who batons is booming the worthy "You'll Find Out" compositions. Okay For Sound says the best of the bunch is Jimmy Dorsey s "The Bad Humor Man" with "You've Got Me This Way" backing it up (Decca). Calling Gramercy 5 : Artie Shaw's small swing group, called the Gramercy Five, has turned out "Summit Ridge Drive" and "Cross Your Heart." Swell jazz. For a sample of what Artie's big band does with soft strings and swing, try "Love Of My Life" and "A Handful of Stars" (Victor). The latter is from M-G-M's "Hullabaloo" and for further variations on it listen to Glenn Miller (Bluebird) and Jimmy Dorsey (Decca). South American Way: One of the best gestures in months toward PanAmerican friendship is made by honey-toned Dinah Shore, who sings the title song from Fox's "Down Argentine Way." "Yes, My Darling Daughter" is the companion piece. (Bluebird). "Love Thy Neighbor": In those lulls when Fred Allen and Jack Benny aren't commercializing their feud before Paramount's cameras in "Love Thy Neighbor," Mary Martin is able to sneak in a few songs. You'll be hearing a lot of them, too. Bob Crosby on Decca and Tommy Dorsey. Victor, have both disced up "Do You Know Why" and "Isn't That Just Like Love." Two Bits Of Heaven: Universal has cornered the market on junior sopranos. First there was Deanna Durbin and then Gloria Jean. Deanna sings, liltingly, "When April Sings" and "Waltzing In the Clouds" (Decca) . They come by way of Universal's "Spring Parade." Not so good was Gloria Jean's third starrer, "A Little Bit of Heaven." But the songs and Gloria Jean's talent were there: "After Ev'ry Rainstorm" and "A Little Bit of Heaven" (Decca). Ibugfa with Dirt • • • Golden Bar or Golden Chips, Fels-Naptha Soap goes after dirt in a determined way that no pale, weak-kneed soap can hope to equal. For reaching under-the-surface dirt, for loosening ground-in grime, there's nothing like golden soap plus naptha, the thorough, persistent, gentle cleaner. GOLDEN soap plus naptha — Fc/i-Naptha ! ! with Clothes Fels-Naptha Soap is more than just an able dirt remover. This richer, golden soap literally 'floats away' the clinging dirt particles that only soap and naptha working together can really loosen. So it's plain common sense to wash your sheerest washable things the Fels-Naptha way. The strenuous rubbing that ruins delicate fabrics is unnecessary when Golden Soap and Gentle Naptha go to work. And Fels-Naptha is specially kind to hands, too. It's worth knowing that Fels-Naptha Soap works well in any kind of water, hot or cool, hard or soft — that Fels-Naptha Soap Chips are actually 'non-sneeze'. They were the very first to eliminate powdery dust that irritates your nose. Whether you're buying bar-soap or box-soap, tell your grocer you want FELS-NAPTHA.
