own band until he left Freddy Martin's employ in 1935. He soon clicked on his own as musical director of the Philip Morris cigarette shows. However, the idea to become a leader himself had come to Morgan some time before, while he was playing with Ted Fiorito. It happened one night when Fiorito had an argument with the trumpet player in the band. Morgan tried to intercede but this action only infuriated the excitable Fiorito. In white heat, the leader smashed his baton into bits and walked off the bandstand. The crowd was still dancing and something had to be done in a hurry. So Russ picked up his trombone and vamped into "Wabash Blues" using a sort of crazy wa-wa effect. The strange wail intrigued the dancers and they had Morgan doing it all night. Later on, Fiorito cornered the trombonist and asked him to develop the effect for permanent use. "No, sir," Morgan told him, "I'm going to save that style until I get my own outfit." Morgan has been married twice. His first marital try ended in the divorce courts. His present wife, Shirley Gray, used to be his secretary. They have two children, two-year-old John Gray, and three-months-old David_ Huw. The Morgans have two homes, one at Long Beach, L. I., the other on a sizable Pennsylvania farm. Russ likes to compose music more than anything else. He hopes that is what he'll wind up doing exclusively. He has already turned out twenty popular tunes, including "Does Your Heart Beat for Me?," "Sweet Eloise," and "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place." "And I think I'll write better ones when I have more time," he promises. "Now I have to do most of my composing on rubbing tables, in dressing rooms, railroad stations, and on the back of coffee pot menus." While making the picture "Iceland," for 20th Century-Fox, Sammy Kaye discovered his first girl vocalist — Nancy Norman.
