MINNEAPOLIS had a big treat last winter that we've just heard about. Placards announcing the arrival of Isham Jones' dance hand at one of the local halls were posted all over the Minnesota city. On the date set, hundreds of happy couples danced to a rather disappointing brand of music. After the bandsmen had collected their fee and left town, it was learned that Jones was playing in the East and had been in New York on the night he was supposed to he in Minneapolis. It's still a big mystery as to who the imitation Isham was.
