'College/ Monthly,
Has Timely Tips/ Info
HY DOKIS III IMiENS
WE KEAI.IZK THAT new magazines are being published all the
time, but. nothing like the one called "College" by King Cole Produc-
tions, Inc. This "rag" stands up to its name—it is about colleges, car-
ries pictures and write-ups of college activities and prints information
of much valuable use to the college student.
"College" is a monthly affair, and is published during the school
year, from September through May. It carries one editorial and the
cover girl is usually a picture of some college student.
In the April issue, there is a coverage of the Winter Carnival at
Dartmouth, including much art on the carnival and fraternity dances
~-qh, lush!
•Then there is a cute fcfojnre on how to dress, net, plan for a
weekend visit to another college campus, particularly if asked by n
man. Mighty good tips.
Can you mention an institution of higher learning without men-
tioning music above all, bebop? Yes, there is a hep article on the
crashing bop. Plus a monthly page of latest records, both classical
and popular, and just general gossip tin a sense) on bands. And with
all this, there is a movie review. A well-planned, informative, enter-
taining little mag.
BITS OF INFO The Skylarks are out on the road these days
singing with Harry James .... Frankie I.aine is back on the Chester-
field "Supper. Club" on Thursdays .... Capitol is featuring the sma$h
tunes from "South Pacific" such as Margaret Whiting singing "A
Wonderful Guy" and "Younger Than Springtime" .... Peggy Lee
warbling "Bait Ha'i" and "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame" .... Jo
Stafford offering "Some Enchanted Evening" and "I'm Gonna Wash
That Man Right Outta My Hair."
Did you know that March 1, 1939, was one of the biggest
milestones in music history? It all happened in a hotel room in
Ne\yflt)rk City, where a lanky musician threw himself across his
bed anil sighed dejectedly.
He was all through, washed up. It was his birthday and he had
broken up his band. The next train for Clarinda, Iowa, would find
him on his way home, his trombone tucked under his arm. At this
stage he was convinced that as a band leader he would make a good
stone mason.
The phone hmg. He answered, and on the other end was one of
the most important band bookers in the business. And he was asking
him to form a band and open at Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook in
Jersey.
The rest is history. This one date, that the booker might havo
handed to some other hand, proved to be the turning point in
Glenn Miller's career. And with the rise of Glenn Miller a new
iera in dance music, its most brilliant, began. Just thought some
of you Miller Worshippers might like to know it — we thought it
rather" important.
