SHIMMY IS OFF, .SAYS MISS WALZ. DANCE AUTHORITY ■s. Lady Cop Declares Dance Steps Will Be Done by Feet This Year. ' V. TWO OLD ONES SURVIVE Girls’ Attitude Will Put End to Objectionable Movements. Bu WESTBROOK PEGLER, United yews Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—1n the Broadway manner of speaking, the shimmy is out. It's off. ‘‘What I mean,” said Miss Marguerite Walz, the dancing lady cop from Philadelphia, where the minuet Is tardily coming into its own, "Is that the shimmy won’t be done any more. No, this year’s dances will be done with the feet. It’s a bit radical, isn’t It? I wonder how our young people will ever learn them.” Miss Walz came up to New York to attend the twin conventions of the two major organizations of American dancing masters, with several simple dance conceptions which she is sure Hftil be jolly fun for the younger genBftation, calling as they do for great, free open spaces of six or more inches between the partners. Girls Worst Offenders "If the girls won’t shimmy, there’ll be no shimmying,” she said. "I’m sorry to say it, but I must say that girls are the worst offenders in the matter of Improper dancing. In our public block dances on the pavements In Philadelphia, we have found that girls dancing together are ever so much wor.ie than boys and girls. They do it to attract the boys." It is the sense of the two convention that jazz music is on its way at last, due largely to the eliminant Ingenuity of Paul Whiteman, the Los Angeles orchestra man converted to Broadway, who combined the Woodwinds in strange, soothing consonance with a metre that jiggles not nor flutters, but seems to drift along. Those tiny, tootle-tones of the saxophones were the nubbin of jazz music which existed by the grace of the grace note, so to stammer. ' This is the third time in three years that the National Association of Masters of Dancing and the International Association have beaten the funeral tom-toms over the bier of the great god jazz and yet the rattle of the traffic in tin-pan alley is still surmounted by the grab-a-girly, take-a-whirley Jangle of jazz in the making for a devouring music market.
Engineers Say Improved Radio ) Bids Fair to Rival Phonograph
By .vri fierrire NEW YORK. Aug. 24 —Radio will lead the phonograph in popularity when its operation is simplified. So say prominent radio engineers and dealers who have been trying to develop this new instrument to a high state efficiency. To back up their statement they show figures of the tremendous sale of radio instruments and parts during the last year or so. This sale, they say. will continue even stronger when autumn comes and warm weather does not force radio enthusiasts outdoors. But it will be mostly to amateurs and other fans. The layman will not consider the installation of a radio set until the simple and efficient apparatus is produced. Unit Control Is Goal Radio engineers are fast approaching this goal. Dr. Alfred X. Goldsmith of the College of the City of New York, has already perfected a radio receiving instrument which has only one main control and an auxiliary control. Comparing this with the set of many knobs, dials, switches and other controls. Dr. Goldsmith has brought the new science down to simplicity of operation. Still, says Dr. Goldsmith, the radio receiving set must be developed so that any person, who knows nothing about its operation, may be able to "‘tune in” on a radio concert with a jingle turn of a knob or by merely a button. Then, he says. ißdio will gain the public favor faster than any invention has in the past. Besides simplicity of operation, however. a high state of effiicency is desired. As regards efficiency, engineers say. radio is still in its infant stage. Not more than one-fourth of the energy put into a transmitting instrument is caught at the receiving end. Sometimes as low as 4 per cent of the original energy remains to be received. This loss is somewhere in the trans-

mitting apparatus. But there is also a great loss in the receiving end, which engineers are trying to compensate. Between these two there is the everlasting bugaboo of radio fans—static. Like the grating of the phonograph needle, which may mar the tone of a record, static interferes in the reception of broadcast messages and concerts. Engineers connected with the United States Bureau of Standards and others working for private firms, have been trying to eliminate this Interference. But they have yet to arrive at the proper formula for its submission. RADIO PROGRAM tlodianapolis (Hatfield) WOH.) [Central Standard Time) Evening Program—Monday.
