Ct«^~- .\T.i..;.. UrtM nlaa Because of length of 'Since You Went Away" the Capitol didn't book any acts with Gene Krupa's new or- chestra, allowing him a flexible run- ning time of only 26 to 31 minutes to fill, which varies with different shows. It follows, therefore, that Krupa's stint has to, be fast. Yet, it seems to move faster than the clock. Krupa's hew combination is a bit frightening when it comes out of the fiit. It spreads all oyer the stage, t's composed of four trumpets, three trombones, five sax, four rhythm and .eight strings. Krupa spends most of his time conducting; he has a .second drummer in his.usual'seat. Approxi- mately three weeks old', the group is a fine band, which isn't surprising in view of the band's cost (payroll is approximately $5,800 for 30 people). It's still a bit stiff, but that's not a. great fault. It's to be expected in ( a band that young. The point is that as it works, now the outfit plays well together and uses arrangements here that are superbly tailored for stage work. . In several there are indica- tions that its dance material is equal- ly effective. In one : spot,, particular- ly, during "Deep River," it achieves a beat that's exceptional. . ' All. in all, as it works now, Krupa's combination ' has the makings Qt a crack outfit. With a couple of jobs un- der its belt, its impact will be heav- ier. From a b.o. point of. view, based on the leader's showing with Tommy Dorsey, its power unquestionably rates with the best names available. Cap is drawing heavy morning busi- ness, which indicate? the band's part in the heavy business being done this week. ; °:'■• \> Allen Zee, Cap stager, has done a good job in presenting Krupa". He's introduced at the outset'by his G- Noters from backstage, and the re- ception is unmistakable. Start is a ' typical wild item that's nicely shad- ed, however, by several solos, then comes "Amor" in various Latin tem- pi, with Krupa pounding a bongo drum. Next is the G-Noters with '•Swingin' On a Star," done too fast, and "Milkman." They're a nice quartet. Peggy Mann comes on later and proves she's one of the outstand- ing band vocalists with "It Could Happen to You" and a rhythmic "It Had to Be You." Krupa's Hash item is a thing done in tympanies down front titled, "Bo- lero" in the Jungle," It's strong with the audience, but it's not as powerful as his old 1 "Blue Rhythm Fantasy," wherein men . in the band pound small drums in unison. Another ar- rangement that stands out is the finale, "Deep River," which features an excellent trombone solo by Tom- my Peterson and a trick-lighted drum solo by Krupa. Wood. Palomai*.

Femme has a knack for clowning that garners good returns. Davis' parody next is wrapped around the musical sigs of the cur- rent radio shows, and precedes the Six Willys, a standby and made to order for closer. They make with the clubs, radiumed and tossed in the dark for good flash and contribute strong' aero- stuff in various media for a solid-sending series of curtains. Biz very good. •■':■ •. Burm.:'.
