Fir.st SympJiony of Dmitri Sho- stakovich, Soviet Russia's ace com- poser, was removed from the pro- gram of the Philadelphia Orchestra at Robin Hood Dell a short time before the concert last Thursday (20) evening because of 'protests.' Despite the implication accepted by most concert-goers, Sam Rosen- baum, Dell president (and president of WFIL). declared it was not be- cause Shostakovich is a Communist. He said it was solely because the older masters are more popular with Dell <:rowds than the modern com- posers, and crowds are what the Dell sorely needs. Rosenbaum .said he felt there wouldn't be more than. 1,000 people in the audience if the Shostakovich piece was played, and in as much as it takes 4.950 people—$1.650—to break even, the Dell finances dre in ho shape to take any. chances. While the al fresco Dell has only had four rainy nights—unusual for Philly—it's the threatening ones that are hard on the treasury be- cause the orch .Tiiist go through with the concert before only a handful of people. Saranac Lake By Bappy Benway Ruth Morris and Bill White In from Hollywood for s.mess of fish- ing at Lake Colby Camp Intermis- sion. Mannie Sowy to the Maine woods, where he will vacash at the Rudy Vallee camp. Yours truly Benway penciled In for a Frenic operation, with Dr. Warrener Woodruff as the knife thrower. Camp LaBeati on Lake Crescent prepared for the Leonard Grottes and bass are being tamed for the yearly Grotte catch. Jack Hirsch of Boston admitted into our Good Samaritan. Club. Special comment again to Bryce Lavign and his He de France orch, who daily from the Hotel iSapnac grill send and dedicate a number- to some bed-ridden members of this Actors Colony. It helps plenty. Harvey's, a nite .spot at Loon Lake, packs a wallop with an all-colored orch and revue. Dr. Ernest Adler, ex-Will Rogers medico, and Miss Lleselotte Jacob, of Germany, were made one on the lawn of the Will Morris Camp In- termission. The Misses Ida Joy and Cherry Blos.com Balaban (daughters of A. J.) were bridesmaids; Mrs. William Morris was the hostess. Harold Rodner and Herman Levine two-daying here at the Will Rogers, mitting the gang with 'How can we make things more pleasant for you all.' From Liberty, N. Y., Workman Sanatorium comes to the Will Rog- ers Dr. A. Meklenberg as the new interne medico. Mrs. Arthur Magner, Plttsfleld, Mass.; Joe Rinzler, Brooklyn; Mrs. Robert Lee, the Oliver P. Wash- burn's of N, Y.; Frances Fiddler, Plattsbu.'p. N. Y., and Mrs. Cliff Heather, Westfield, Mass., ogling the Colony. Notable comebacks are James Scclcy, Herbert Elder and Myra Blake, all Rogers-ites. About the sweetest rule that was ever put in action at the Rogers is the fact that patients are taken for a bus ric'e every Sunday. It packs a lot of mental stimulation. Write t« thoie who are III. Night Club Reviews LITTLE EVA, L. A. (Continued from page 45) hustling young fellows who built up a nice b.r. through the medium of a drive-it-yourself eslab. It'll . either prove a place to pour the profits or a complementary money maker. The chances for the latter conclusion are not so forte, as niRht clubs on the county strip go. It's'a small room, seating comfortably around 175, ergo the nut is not so weighty. The kitchen will tell the story, to Siy nothing of the place catching on with the spenders. According to those who have tried and failed in this nitery trick—and there are scads of 'em here—the fates are at work in the pantry. Smart move was to book in a name on the breakin. Nan Blakstone is popular in these parts and she'll pull for, a while, There's no such thing as a long stand for a nitery flgUre. Militating against such ah arrange- mtint are the coin layout and the fact that'specialists are none too versatile, wearing thin their routine after a few weeks. Talent setup niust run to around $1,000 a week, with Blak- stone tabbed at $500. She rates the cookies ns she's tops in her line and knows all the twi.sts to risque yodel- ing. It's a bit rough at times, but the night prowlers who infe.st the strip want their's salted down and no punches pulled. When Darryl Rogers cuts in, the crossfire is really withering. • . Bounding out on the floor from the ork is the Buddy Raye Ti-io, three deft-Angcre'd lads who kick up-a lot of music with guitar, accordion and bull Addle: Raye, brother of the films' Martha, has many of her man- nerisms and knows his strings. House band of Dick Haymes sounds too sophomoric for this clientele. It's their first cafe job and the booking is over their heads. Orchestrations arc strictly standard and laclr of season- ing is evident, Haymes takes a whack at the vocals with Carol Par- ker, both agreeably pleasant. Don- ette DeLys does her contortions on a table and. okay, but are hrr writhing gyrations entertainment? Peggy Page handles the intro's and pleads for apolaUse. Owners Negge and Mitchell ex- plain the Little Eva tag as just an idea that was different and hoped woiild catch on and be easy to re- member. Alone the walls are limned drawings of the Uncle Tom .•a'ja. Eva is nowhere evident and so far they haven't had to unleash the bloodhounds to track down cu.stom. ers. Helm. neon-lighted. He flipped a cutie at sitters, not taking too kindly to hi.s offering, with 'I know there's people out there because I can hear you breathing.' Alphonse Berg uses three models to drape his creations on in double time. It's an old vaude turn showing up-again without any new frills. Ramon and Florene are. ballroomologists of the ~ garden variety. HcIth. On the Upbeat (Continued from page 40) comies over from Lawrence Welk's outfit to take third sax. George- Rose, guitarist is out. No replace- ment for Rose yet, band getting along without guitar. Les McManls, first trumpeter with Gray Gordon, left that band last week to devote all hia time to fly- ing. He's a licensed pilot and ia striving for a commercial transport license. Van Alexander orchestra replaced Red Norvo's outfit at Murray's, Tuckahoe, New. York. Alexander's now on Steel Pier, A. C. PALOMAR, L. A. Gus Kahn and Bronsilaw Kaper cleffing .songs lor.'Guns and. Fiddles,' Miliza Kprjus starrer at Metro. Los Angeles, July 15. Herb Sc/niiier, Alphonse Berg, Ramoti Sc Florence. Lionel Kaye, Will Osborne oTch (14). This swing-ding emporium just isn't itself this week. Up on the stand there's a sweet crew and out on the wax the show runs to a vaude pattern, sans the usual line of girls. Fact alone that the dance tunes are tempered to a trot calls for a drum roll. And not such a bad idea con- sidering the muggy weather. Also gives the jive hounds a chance to cool their toot.sies. . Will Osborne's slide crew is hold- ing forth and; while mixing up the tempos, leans to the sweet and slow. It's quite a lope-off compared to the hot licks of Artie Shaw's madmen, just concluded. O.sboi ne has a good showmanly outfit and the opening night turnout, some 4,000. relished the smooth mixture. ?Ie's in for four weeks. with an option for two more. Then comes Benny Goodman and the heat's on again. Auction gag that the pavillion hit upon some weeks ago has developed into a definite click and i'.s stays in- definitely. With: Lionel Kaye, one- time magician and hoofer, presiding with the hammer'and keeping the routine in high gear for laughs, there's more fun for the sitters than participants. Sealed presents are auctioned off. Kaye never allowing the bidding to go beyond at least one-third the value o( ..the article. It's when he buys that the place is In an uproar. For instance, he offers .500. for the first pair or socks to be laid on his table. Four or five youths scramble to the floor and start unlacing. One dollar is of- fered for a man's undcr.chirt and another huck to the gal who peels the guy fii.st. A gal is given a half buck for her garter and the chap who comes up to take it off pets an- other half. - It's all done with the minimum of stooges and r?rely out of line. Turn runs about 40 minutes and is loaded with belly laughs. Kaye flips a few wi.se cracks at the contestants and otherwi.se denorts himself in showmanly fnrm. It's the best floor- attraction -the .spot has had in month.':. It's been done in the east, but a new audience gr.g out here. Rest of the show ha.c an olio flavor and is pa.ssably fair. Heib Sthriner runs his lips over si] manner' of harmonicas. Including one that is Earl Hincs signed for Blue Not* records. First pair of piano solos will be released about July. 31. Blue Notes are $1.50 discs. . Woody Herman orchestra goei into the Glenn Island Casino Aug. 24 replacing the current Glenn Miller.
