one readily remembers. The concert opened with Sowerby’s overture “Come .Autumn Time,” which is a descriptive sort of music and not, I think, very important. One more piece, ‘a Sonata for Chamber Orchestra by Galliard, and Mr. Milstein was into the business of .the day. Both the coneert appetizers were “firsts” for Indianapolis, the latter also a world premiere in such form. Mr, Sevitzky transcribed it some time ‘ago for double bass ‘when in a recital tour he was being termed a. Paganini. of the instrument and two years ago he scored it for orchestra. It is another of Mr. Sevitzky’s welcome “discoveries,” lively, tunefully music which, I think, should find its way into a “pop” concert some time in the future.

Trap Drum Art Dying

Skinbeaters Is Kripa Declares.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 22 (U. P.) — The way Gene Krupa tells it, the trap drumming business isn’t what it was “a couple of years ago.

'Us Dead,’

said Krupa with a fine ‘disregard of grammar, Krupa, who doesn’t merely beat the drums for a living any more but has a band of his own, is in Hollywood to work in Sam Goldwyn’s “Ball of Fire.” “The kids now are going more for schmalz,” said Krupa, and it is assumed anyone who cares knows what he is talking about. “They want soft music, soft lights, romance. When I wis with Benny Goodman, they were wacky about swing. You couldn't keep ‘em still

der Sriffes even in theaters. They danced -in

the aisles. Now they want to teeter in corners. They're loverick.” Regarding the future of his art, Krupa said. «7 don’t even want to be known as ‘a -drummer any more. I think all of -us druminers ought to get together -and get ourselves ‘known as ‘rhythmists.’ It’s classier. Besides I I don’t use only drums. -I can get ryhthm out of anything. I use a battery. of eight cymbals, and a rack of: hollow gourds known as Chinese skulls, They get more use than the drums. So I'm a rhythmist.” 3 So he’s'a rhythmist.
