-Modern Novelty Jazz Song Glorifies The Porcupine Family and Old Oil Can

By Walter D. Hickman LORIFYING the American girl has been the job of ~1 revue stage, but it remained ld!or the song writers to glorify the porcupine family and the old oil can. Pity the little porcupine and his little “pines,” because the modern ong writer has seen fit to put Iboth he “pork” and the “pines” into a jazzy lyric. What are you raving about now? Will tell you. Much will I tell you. In “Beggar on Horseback,” a movie, the composer is sentenced to life imprisonment in a jazz factory, because he tried to write a high brow symphony. So to escape that punishment myself, I decided to frolic the other night with a bunch of new jazz records. The first one I selected was the Happiness Boys, Billy Jones and Ernest Hare, pinging “As A Porcupine Pines for Its Pork, . That's How I Pine for You.” .This happens on an Okeh record. When the needle began to unwind the “sentiment” of this number, I discovered that Jones declared that "as a porcupine pines for its pork,” and “as a grasshopper hops over the grass, t I hop right over to you,” and “as a woodpecker pecks wood,” and “as the oil man sells oil in a can, but I can’t can'you,” and “as the soup spoons with the soup, that’s the way I spoon with you,” and “as a lemon squeezer squeezes a lemon that’s the way I squeeze you.” Meaning in plain words that some guy is dippy over some gal. Here is a hokum jazz novelty record that certainly spills the old “hoke” in a most popular manner. And I laughed and had a great lime while the porcupine was chasung his pork. Oh, yes indeed. Getting Serious Am getting serious now. Brunswick has engaged Homer Rodeheaver, wno is said to be the best known singer of religious songs today. What Billy Sunday is to the evangelistic platform, so is Rodehealver to the sacred song. Brunswick has just announced that the first Rodeheaver record would include “When The World Forgets” and “An Evening Prayer.” These two numbers easily reflect the spirit of the singer—the spirit of devQtional music at its best. rfave been asked where an orchestra record of “The Song of the Volga Boatmen” may be obtained. Okeh has released this number as played by Edith Lorand and her orchestra. Here is a splendid organ-

“Action Camera,” a satire on the movies, which is being presented at. the Lyric this week, serves to introduce a comedienne, Emmy Barbier, in the role of a country girl, who gets into motion pictures and becomes a temperamental star with a French accent. Miss Barbier impersonates Mae Murray and Gloria Swanson.

in this country in spite of the fact that jazzy jazz is leading. Realizing that there is a field for intelligent appreciation of popular orchestral concert work, the Brunswick company has given the record buying public a chance to hear the Brunswick Hour orchestra. Walter Haenschen, the director, is

able to put soothing moonlight Into the numbers he directs. There are no screams, groans or yells while this man Is directing. Instead you will find quiet and tentalizirig harmony. Along the lines of popular concert music, this orchestra has just released “Rio” and “La Golondfina.” I recommend this organization and hope that it continues to grow in public esteem. •I* -I* 'l* Indianapolis theaters today present: “Polly With A Past” at English’s: the Brown Girls at the Palace; Fred Ireland’s Dance Revue at the Lyric; outdoor events at Broad Ripple and Riverside parks; "Fine Clothes” at the Circle; "The Lucky Devil” at the Apollo: continuous shows at the Broadway; “Siege” at the Colonial: “A Slave of Fashion" at the Ohio: "Birth of a Race” at the Crystal and "Beauty and the Bad Man” at the Isis.
