a syncopated dance. One-Night Stands Out
. Most of these bandsmen own music publishing companies of their own. One of them had a hit tune last month and made a phonograph record of it; his publishing company took in $117,000 in 30 days. He was making a movie and obtained from the picture - people $60,000 more. He was doing a weekly radio program at $4500 per week. He also was playing nightly at a dance hall called the Palladium, which paid him $7500 every Saturday night. Ig that one month he took in better than $200,000 cold cash. : The big-time bandsmen: used to make their big-time money at the one-night stands. That’s no more for the duration. The bands can’t get transportation to the smaller towns; they're finding it tough enough to hit the cities on the main line between New York and Hollywood.
