necessary, and that is how matters stood. Janet was’ palsy walsy with the boys, all except Skeets. This was according to Hoyle, since Mr. Prager has 4 sign on the wall which indicates that one way to be moved out of the. organization is to get romantic with the girl singer. It simply does not work for the good of the band or the girl singer either, in Mr. Prager’s experience, and it is a highly favored rule with most bands. ” # » SKEETS MORRIS, whose first name is Leonard, is an Arkansas boy, from the hills and Janet Bruce, nee Kudla, grew up on the south side of Chicago. Skeets went to school, the Au-

14 VTL rn. HAPPY RAY |

THIS WEEK'S ROMANCE concerns a boy and a girl in the band, Manny Prager’s band at the Indiana Roof, if you must know, and the ending is happy and sad, with a dash of red, white and blue in it. He sang with the band and played trumpet. She sang with the band, too, and she was pretty and 20. For nearly a year that she was with the band, they seemed to

Jacqueline

er held auditions at the Bel-Air-Hotel for a singer to replace Betty Bonney. Of the four girls who tried out, Janet made the grade. She could sing ballads and ballad singers come about every third vocalist in the band business. And so that’s the way it was, how the boy from Arkansas and the girl from Chicago, drifted together, and by the pattern of their lives and the geographical distances involved, it would seem almost that fate had something to do with it. Whatever it was, there they were and it was dislike almost at first sight. The band played on from city to city and last week it came to rest in Kansas City, Mo., where a Golden Gloves boxing bout was in progress. ls a nn THERE WAS A TWO-DAY layoff in Kansas City and band went to the fights for an evening’s diversion. In the ring, a battler whose name might have been Casey went down for the count and in the wild demonstration that followed, "Skeets turned to Janet, and she to him, And they knew, then, that'they loved one another. So they went to Milwaukee with the band Saturday. You could tell the way Skeets muffled his trumpet while Janet was singing that romance had broken out in the band in deflance of régulations. : Sunday when the band alighted at Kenosha, Janet's eyes had stars in them and Skeets’ trumpet waawaahed softly, like a dove signalling to its mate. . And Monday they went to Chicago and got married at 8 p. m. It was to be happy ever after for them, except for a little engagement with Uncle Sam which Skeets’ draft board in Alabama had booked for him. ’ On Tuesday, Skeets enlisted in the army air corps, where eight of the original Cavaliers are now serving their country. # ” » WHILE THE BOOKING with Uncle Sam’s deluxe outfit is being arranged, Skeets is back with the band. Tonight, as he plays, the blushing bride will be knitting with the other band wives in the hotel lobby. In vocalist spot is Jacqueline Reed, also of Chicago. She sings and is 19 and is good to look at,

too.

Once more, Maestro Prager has pointed to “the sign about no romancing and has shaken a warning finger at the boys in the band. He is saying he is Funie no lonely hearts club and is meaning it. He hopes.

To Swiss Censors

BERNE, Feb. 27 (U. P.).—New problems confronted Swiss censors today in their attempts to preserve Switzerland's neutrality in the midst of warring Europe. Movie fans who packed the Splendide Cinema for the opening of the American film, “Tin Pan Alley” were dismayed to discover that one censor had carefully clipped that part in which Alice Faye sighs “America, I Love You.” The audience greeted the censor’s scissors work with catcalls and whistling because the plot failed to make sense. A Berne dance hall, desperately needing new tunes, adopted the song the following night. It was sung by an American negro, and immediately . became a hit, But three nights later it was played but not sung. The negro explained that Swiss authorities maintained the words were “too pro-American” and not in line with the country’s neutrality. The other extreme was a Cary Grant film in which the. American star played the role of a tough city editor. When Grant shouted, “Stick Hitler on the funny page,” laughter and applause swept through the theater.
