McGarity in Dayton, Ky. Sweet songstresses have made, and broken, many orchestras. Here are a few fair examples New York, April 25. Breaks like the one Orrin Tucker and his vocalist, Bonnie Baker, got when they revived that old 1923 song. Oh, Johnny! keep the dance band industry wondering where the lightning will strike next.

The breaks take all kinds of shapes. The rediscovery of an old tune is one. Another is to take a good song which hasn't done well because it hasn't had a chance to be heard and make it up into a nice package as Tommy Tucker and his singer. Amy Arnell, did for I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire. Or perhaps a bandleader meets the right "canary" and she puts over the songs he has' been playing with only mediocre success.

The angles are many and it would be vain to try to offer a formula. Take the Tommy Tucker-Amy Arnell case as a good example of a break. In the summer of 1940 Tommy was playing at the Hotel Berkeley-Carteret in Asbury Park, N. J. They Heard Right" Song Monday night was the band's night off, to one Monday Tommy and Mrs.

Tucker, Amy and the band's manager, Joe Galkin, drove to Philadelphia and -dropped into Lew's Tavern, where they heard Bon Bon, a Negro vocalist and member of the trio called The Three Keys, putting over a number. The same thought occurred to Tommy and Amy as they listened. It was the song for them. Galkin got the name of STILL BETTER Our Cold Storage Vault guards the welfare of your valuable Furs and Woolens against MOTHS HEAT FIRE THEFT Have your Furs cleaned and glazed by our Approved Furrier Methods, we are well equipped. 1 ouncUq and PleaneiS JA 4161 1017 So.

Third St. the song and Bon Bon told him it had been recorded a year and a half before by Harlan Leonard and his orchestra for Bluebird records. Galkin went to New York, got a copy of the song; Tommy arranged it and Amy sang it. I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire became a smash hit, and the band which had been getting about $500 a night for one-night stands went into the higher brackets. Columbia recorded the piece and sold half a million records, and Amy got enough of a salary boost to open a Hollywood flower shop on the side.

John Kirby and Maxine Sullivan got a similar break when she swung Loch Lomond from a sentimental Scottish ballad into a national American hit and moved into the bigtime. Amateur Goes to Town A stranger case was that of Ella Fitzgerald. She appeared in a Harlem theater on an amateur night. The late Chick Webb saw her, liked her and signed her up. She's the gal who made the country "a-tisket-a-tasket" conscious a few years ago.

When Webb died she inherited his orchestra. It isn't always that simple, however, as Bob Allen found out when he gave up his job as vocalist with Hal Kemp's band and started one of his own. He tried out half a dozen canaries with no good results. And then one day he got a tip from the New York representative of a Chicago musicians' magazine that a girl named Dottie Reid who had sung with Gray Gordon's band in the West had hit New York with only $30 and was looking for a job. By the time Bob caught up with her she was singing in the Stork Club.

Bob was a little hesitant about asking her to join his band. He was playing a Brooklyn dance hall, but the agent who took him around to meet Dottie reassured him. Dottie hardly could show to good advantage in the Stork Club, where two bands customarily play the same tempo all night, one band relieving the other a man at a time so that the customers have a new band playing for them without realizing it unless they watch the quiet shifting. The agent was right. Dottie gave her notice that night and went to Brooklyn.

Marion Had to Come Bach Glenn Miller realized deeply the value of a good vocalist when Marion Hutton married Jack Philbin, manager of the Johnnie Long and Bob Chester bands, a couple of years ago and decided to have a baby. There was a popular outcry for Marion's return, and eventually she did come back. Ozzie Nelson not only recognized the value of Harriet Hilliard, his canary, but made her his wife. Sometimes a canary likes a band so well she hates to leave, even though she can do better elsewhere. Mary Ann Mercer sang for four years with Mitchell Ayres band and turned down offers that came in' regularly.

Finally she left to go on a big radio show, only because the boys in the band told her she was foolish to turn down such a swell chance. Who's next? Who knows? That's why the dance band industry keeps Cleiin Miller, orchrnlra leader, realized ileeply the value of a pood when Marion Hutton retired to marry Jack Philhin. However, there was a popular oulery for her return, and she did. a i IWWIIMimHWH ilMMBir 4 '2J "yT N7 LJiVv' 4-1 ft 't sw ft i John Frederics turn a poke bonnet into a fabulous flatterer of milan straw with the poke emphasized by a fringed lopped crease. auiiiiliiiiiaKaSs Uorld I'hntom.

In fact, I can't see why "Fine, thank you" is any easier to say or why you think it sounds more childlike, than "Very well, thank you."
