Y. Starling .at 11 a.m. sharp carnival rati to 4.45 p.ni. Nearly SIX hours of solid sending. Even rabi igns of -get- tinic enough. When the- concert was tipened with Vincent Lppez's new stream- lined version ot 'Stat Bangled Ban- ner,'/thie .occupants of the packed benches were> shivering in a chilly breeze tiom the.East RLyer and caslr ing apprehensive glances sky ward at glowering clouds. Wasn't long .be- fore some of ''em came tumbling out of their bleacher seais to overrun the inftsld and squat ..in front of the .re- serves to get closer to the musical flame. Martin Block, of WNEW, who conceived tliis stunt on "behalf Of Lodal 802, American Federation of Musicians, hospital fund, m.c.'d. He had to halt proceedings in the middle ot one humljer and threatened , to suspend things permanently unless they got bac1< in the stands. 'Threat worked but wore, off later. , As early as 9 a.m. Jong lines oii foot alid on wheels crowded the T.ri- b'oro bridge leading: to the island. Toll booths did a landoft'ice Most of crowd brought;lunch boxes. One citizen toted a \vatermelon un- der his arm. (jops and park attendants had theli" hands full squelching efi'er- vescent shagsters and lindy-hbppci's wl»o continually grabbed the spot- light by. bouncing out of their sbats and going to. town on the cinder run- ning track and on the grass in front, of the infield ssats. Gendarmes were roundly -booed for their trouble'. ACtsr that they stood up in tlieir pews and risked a br6!;en leg or two to gain wild-eyed release froin the prodding notes ot some ot the best ouints in the business. At. the tinale. •w\tt\ Gene Krupa's cats howling.at the sun, attendants had to rins the stage to \yard off candid camera fiends who wanted a shot ot Krupa heading for the clouds. Not l«t% Satlsfyinr Somehow, though, outside of the Instances already rnentiqncd, the Jive addicts gave the impression that the affair wasn't what it Was cracked up to be. Thsre was no in time palm whacking .which is a favorite surety valve of the regular Sunday mor ing mobs at the Criterion, N. Y. Cheer- ing . at times was actually anemic and for some creWs szeitied to be Just polite. When-Kay Kyser, who's currently riding the ci:est of .one-of the mo.st pjpiilar musical idcss, came on, he made the mistake of tackling a gen- teel arrangement before bouncing 'em Out of their seats.. CJrios of 'vie ■want switig not swept' were heard. An applause meter' wbtild prob- ably have rated Chick Webb, Count Basic, Duke'Ellington, Gene Kriipa, Stuff Smith, joe Marsala, whose drummer busted a couple bt-sticks satisfying the alligators, and the srnall Slim..and Slam outfit in eye- lash finishes. .Just before tlie B.bbby Hackett aggregation sounded oil, Krupa's bus drove i That, set up cries of 'we want Krupa.' When he did his stuff, the roar could prob- ably have heard .in Long Island.. Others on tap were Sammy Kaye. Larry Clinton, Woody Hernu i, Meiie crew, Edgar Hayes, Chas. Barnett, Will Hudson, Eddie De Lahge (sepa- rate outfits now), Will Osborne, who clicked :best of the sweet crews, and numerous:smaller aggregatiphs. Ben- ny Goodman didn't show—he was in .Atlantic City—and thhe mob howled its disappointment. ■ If every seat was" sold, and there couldn't have been many left, the total talte couldn't have exceeded $l4,b Deducting tiie stadium rental, expenses for crews (Krupa canie in. chartered bus frpm -l'hilly). ana various o rating expenises, the Musicians' Union .hospi 1 fund takes what was left. At first glance the stadium seemed to. have, a flock of unsold chairs at the opposite end from the bandstand, but' closfsr in- spection showed the occupants to be crowded close to the rostrum, stand- ing along the-top tier for the entire .'session. WNEW aired almost . entire ti' .. being forced to. sign oft when Rudy 'Vallee,. who .wasn't expected, showed up with' is" cirew; Vallee jefused to.be aired, claiming.hls ra- dio contract forbade it^ He drew as (Continued on piage 55) .
