knew it was coming and Benny Goodman, who can swing with the best of them, knows what h: needed. That’s why he has a great band.” “Fats” was high in his praise of Indianapolis and of Russell Williams, local musician. This is the first time he has ai>peared here with his hanji. Unlike some of the other hands we have heard here, this one is not all Waller. They carry a “spare” piano player who goes to town with the orchestrations and rhythm numbers. “Fats” uses one of the latest type microphones and his gesticulations addec to it are worthy of the title of a good showman. His hottest numbers'were ‘•Truckin’ ” and “Music Goes Round.” We can use Waller merely as a symbol of the tortuous and bizarre popular music that is on tap in this continent today. Insinuating. sensual, rhythmic as a t.tirtom, it sweeps into the homes ; ‘ rich and poor over the airways. It says things in music that would be impossible to »cveal in spe.c* . it cuts musical capers that **o*tl'l cause the spirits of Bach ai d Bee-
thoven to groan in Valhalla. The beat of the drums, the eerie giggle of the saxophones and the whole gamut of musical hysteria, poured out into that crowded hall like the wave of Cinderella’s magic wand. Few attempted to dance, they wer^ 1 content to just stand and watch the man heard so often, hut seldom seen in these parts. Waller has made more than 600 recordings with a six piece band. He brought, fourteen pieces for his appearance here. * His latest recording was “Sprcadin’ Rhythm.” The last number he wrote was “Sugar Ri’ose,” These numbers will soon be haunting you in the restaurants. They will dog you at home and there will be no escaping them. And it all came a bent when some genius discovered that our civilization was only skin deep and that just as glass will crack at certain musical notes so does the primitive in all of us respond to the hot music of such bands as “Fats” Waller presented here. They headed west and expect to get back to New York late in March.
The best one of the month appeared in Feb. Vanity Fair . . . It’s an impromptu interview between I.ouie Armstrong, world’s greatest trumpet player and Fritz Kreisler, world’s greatest violin player . . It will bowl over. Fritz asks Louie why he doesn't play opera and Louie says that he does play opera but that he swings it . . . Louis asks Kreisler to give up opera and play the fiddle In his Land. Kreisler wants to know what Louis means by “swing it” and Louie has the right answer . . . T hey wind up by doine a few bars of Naga Sachs . . . Kreisler is chirping, “O, Naga; O Sacbi ’ whfe Armstrong bellows, “Aw, swing it” . . . It’s a scream.
WISE CRACK
Two girls were grouped in one ot the better night spots last Sat. dawning. Said one to the other, I met the most marvelous man. He’d be just wonderful for you.” • • . “Is he my type?” quen’ed the other . . . “Sure,” she answered quickly, “he’s alive and breathing,”
The Main Stem is pretty much like a woman; it looks frowsy the morning after . . . Gone is the glamour and glitter, and Instead a look of peakedness and a few patches under the eyes. At six o’clock, along after the Dawn Patrol has retired and before the substantial citizenry takes over, the Stem is as deserted as a circus ground after the elephants have moved on. A few cab drivers doze in their machines. White-wings ply their weapons of civic betterment. Otherwise nothing is stirring . . . The Ave., strictly a nocturnal thing, is dead as a leftover cocktail. And that’s plenty dead.

“FATS” WALLER CAPTIVATES A
(By CHARLIE DAVIS)
Music of the “Fats” Waller band aoothed about two thousand dance goers at the Walker Casino last Thursday night with a fantastic charm. Tins charm thrilled the younger set of Indianapolis as they jammed the Casino to hear the “genial giant of rhythm” and
his frenzied orchestra.
The golden horseshoe of the opera may have its thrills fot the dowagers and millionaires. The •oncert hall may create a mild senation for the white-fronted audince, but for surging, pulse stiring rhythm Fats Waller is tops, t was a gala occasion for the nusic lovers who braved the ice nd slush to see and hear the man vho hast mad<e the word “yes” amous; the man whose style of *iano playing is incomparable. “All bands will sooner or later ome to the ‘swing’ idea in muic,” said Waller with his most •ongenial smile. “Swing music s in demand todav and band leaders are beginning 'to realize it.

Conch admitted to-a reporter that Mrs. Slaughter had been c-mfined to the ..room for ,.v leas*' three weeks. During that time the severe cold weather struck and Mrs. Slaughter's feet were so terribly frozen- that they burst. in spite of that, no medical attention was offered her, according to Courh’s own statement, despite the fact that a doctor called on Sunday, Fob. 2 t<5 administer medical aid to Mrs. Couch, who developed pneumonia. Couch said nothing was said to the doctor about the aged woman suffering in the frigid
rear room.
At least two competent witnesses have testified that, knowing of the aged woman’s condition and rot having seen or heard of her, they went to the Couch home and offered to aid Mrs. Slaughter but were not t>ermitted to help or even see the woman. Declined Outside Aid Further, Die statements tend to show that Mrs. Couch was a dominant woman in her home and that she was the one who declined to receive outside aid and that shf was the one who placed the ropt on the door and arranged it so that it was air tight. Relatives and neighbors have testified that Couch was largely under the domination of his wife who was 12
■^ears his senior.
The TncBana statu;es covering ' e case are very vague and much •search is required to keep the barges within the exact language *? the law. *’ ^Coroner Jesse Spangler openly stated that he regarded the case as a horrible homicide and it was tinder his orders that Mrs. Couch

room was above 80 degrees. Room Sealed From Heat
The next room was the kitchen and along one wall was a large kitchen ra"ge. This room was
about 75 degrees in temperature. Just off the kitchen to the north kitchen range. This room was about 75 degrees in temperature. Just off the kitchen to the north was a small bed room. Here the body was found. This room had no heat of any sort. The door of this root. which opened from the kitchen, was arranged so it could he sealed airtight. There was an arrangement of cardboard on the inside of the door which closed all cracks and. in addition, paper and rags had been stuffed and tacked into the cracks from the kitchen side of thedoor. A short rope, about 15 inches long, was tied to the door knob on the kitchen side and Couch said that Mrs. Couch had tied it there and drove a nail in the door sill so that the door could be drawn up very tight. Denies Trouble In Home Couch told a reporter that there had never been any trouble in the home. He said he worked at the steel mill, that he owned his property, and that he worked hard to support his wife and her mother. He said he worked nights a great part of the time and that he had not “paid much attention” to the care of his mother-in-law. leaving that duty to his wife. When his wife became ill last Friday, he said he tried to care for Oe home. He said he took some water in to Mrs. Slaughter either Monday or Tuesday afternoon, “I think it was Tuesday.” “She was sitting on the side of the bed,” he said. “I' told h6r,“She had better get back in bed and I lifted up her feet and placed her back in th“ bed. I covered her up and asked her if she was all right and she said she was. Then I went to
work.”
He admitted that he did not enter the room at all after tha' time. He said he noticed that there was no sound from the room Wednesday but did not investigate nnil late Wednesday afternoon vrhen he knocked at the door ,tr ask her if she wanted anothing When she did not respond. h* knocked again and then entered and found the bodv.

It all happened on a Columbia trolley, but the passengers who are accustomed to divers strange things paid little attention to it . . . The car pulled up to the 16th street curve, took on down-town bound folks and the doors closed pieparatory to the trip into town. A pretty girl looked up from the book she was reading, gave a startled glance out the window and made a frantic move towards the closed door . . . Something had to be done and she did it. Before her was the customary glass pane! of the side door, so she removed her slipper, smashed the glass with the heel until it broke. It made a terrific noise. The car stopped, the door slid open and the pretty girl dashed out. The door closed and the car went on its way. The passengers, who had taken only a mild interest in the affair settled back to their papers.
Don’t look now, but you author’s gonna toss off a bromo.
Among the notables who turned cut to hear “Fats” Waller we spied: John Metzger, Geneva Moore, The Jorman lass, Frank Ransom, Marguerite Taylor. Russell Williams and Mrs. Williams. Harvey “Cousin” Sears, Jackie, Evans, Lucille Taylor and about two-thousand others not so nota blc.
