THE Tin Pan Alley that used to be one of the big town's big streets is now but a ghostly avenue. There were times when the curh was lined with swanky imported autos. A car that cost less than ten thousand was shooed off the asphalt. Today's music springs from a half-hundred little offices scattered all over the Broadway belt. Why? Because of radio.
Radio knocked a lot of music publishers into the red ink pot. if you believe the stories you hear on the sidewalks, ki the old days, a piece of sheet music would sell into the hundreds of thousands. Fortunes were made by men who put across a captivating tune. They say that radio has changed all that. Play a piece on the air night after night for six weeks and you can't sell another copy across a counter. Too much plugging ruins it.

THE hey-hey high life of Manhattan has found a new baton-swinger in the person of little Sammy Robbins, band maestro of the McAlpin Grill. Sam. who is heard over the facilities of the NBC, has been called the "maestro of the midAtlantic." For several years past his sweet rhythm has held sway on the swank roof of the Hamilton Hotel in Bermuda. During this time, he became something of a legend. ( )ne story called him "Bermuda's little king."
