FRIDAY, APWL UWONTOWN, NEWS STANDARD FAGS NIKI SOCIETY Dick Stabile To Play For Exchange Club Popular with dance lovers everywhere throughout the nation is the of Dick Stabile and his orchestra. The band, which will come to Uniontown from the Statler hotel in New York City, will play here the evening of May 11 for the first annual spring dance sponsored by the Exchange Club. The most successful band leaders are those who Were former instrumentalists. Dick Stabile, the latest band leader to come to the forefront, belongs in this category. It was their piano technique that originally brought fame to such top names'in the musis world as Eddy Duchin, Vincent Lopez, Joe Reichman, Henry King, Ted Fio Rito, Jack- Benny and many others.

In similar fashion, Ben Bemie, Guy Lombardo, Leo Reisman, Xavier Cugat. Leon Belasco and Jan Gerber first attracted attention as Violinists. Like Hal Kemp, Dick Stabile first won his spurs as a virtuoso of the saxophone. is almost universally considered in the music profession as the one who has developed into the finest technician of the saxophone since the instrument was-invented. Stabile's knowledge of music goes back many centuries.

He is a descendant of a notble Italian family who studied music dilligent- ly and loved it because it was so much a part of their lives. Dick, himself, was born hi Newark, New Jersey, May 29, 1910. His father- was a violinist by profession. Stabile's musical studies began at an early age--in keeping with the family tradition, the piano was the first instrument he mastered. Listening to his father play, it was inevitable that he take up the violin as well.

When Dick was fifteen his father was offered a job playing with Vincent Lopez, who at that time was just starting his career as a band leader. Lopes prized versatil- Ity among his musicians and told Btabile's father that in order to Join the band he would have to play the saxophone as well as the violin. Mr. Stabile thereupon ac- I quired a saxophone and added by his inherent musical ability soon i was able to play it well enough to get the job with Lopez. The new Instrument fascinated young Richard.

He discovered that he enjoyed playing this instrument more than I any other and prevailed upon his father to buy one-for him. His fine playing won him a job with Jules Ansel and his band, playing at the Brunswick-Hotel in Newark. Anzel was amased at dexterity of this precocious young- tter. He had developed an individual style that put him head and shoulders above any other saxophonist he had ever heard. Ansel invited hi? cousin, Ren Bernie, who Et that time was directing his band at the Berkley Carteret Hotel in Asbury Park, to come down for a pleasant surprise.

The "Ole Maestro" obliged a few evenings, later mnd as he sat at a table and puffed ftt a big cigar he listened casually to the band. Suddenly, his cgiar poised, in mid-air, he stopped in the middle of conversation, and became all ears. After the set when' Ansel came over to the table Ben him -who the sax player the band 7 the sur- trise," Ansel told Ben. He called 'Stabile over and introduced the shy Iroung man to Bernie. Ben was surprised at his youth, and although he recognized the superiority of the lad's playing, he advised him.

to remain with- Ansel a months --then he could join up "with the ''Ole Maestro's lads at a big time salary. Shortly after Ben left on a -and Dick did not see him again for many months. band leaders heard and recognized his ability. George Olsen was an, ace saxophonist for nis which was to play in the Broadway musical Stabile was just the type of: musician he was looking for and he got the job. When the show he want back to Ansel's band.

The following summer the band' layed at Lake George and then oved to the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn for the winter season. There rate, in the person of Ben Bernie, crossed his path again. This time, Bernie engaged Dick and took him with the band on a tour. His-knowledge of the instrument and his grasp of dance music in all its forms stamped him as one of the ablest exponents of dance syncopation in the music world.

However, his loyalty to Ben Bernie restrained him from starting out on his own although ambition was tugging him. It was Ben Bemie, himself, who Induced Stabile to form his own band. He liked Dick and he realized that the young man had a tremendous future as a band leader stabile had rare musical ability marvelous appearance--six foot two inches tall- dark curly hair--broad shoulders- genteel smile--dark eyes--a charming personality. Such ingredients could not help but make for success. At times when Bernie was not wielding the baton, it was Stabile who him and this experience fitted him for his ultimate future the organization of his own orchestra.

After a successful road tour, Dick Stabile and his orchestra opened in the Flamingo Room of Levaggi's in Boston. Stabile's next engagemtnt was in the famous Madhattan Room of the Hotel Pennsylvania following Hal Kemp. Since that time, Dick Stabile and his orchestra have appeared in the Blue Room of the Hotel Lincoln in New York City, where they were engaged for nine months; Coney Island Park, Cincinnati (where they have played six return engagements), the Hotel William Penn in Pittsburgh (two seasons); Statler Hotel in" Buffalo; Baker Hotel in Dallas; Elitch Gardens, Denver. His featured vocalist is Evelyn Oaks, charming songstress who comes from Dalals, Texas.

S. B. Grine, manager of the Montgomery Ward store, announced that tomorrow would mark the close ol semi-annual Ward Week sale. He said that the large number ol shoppers who attended the sale during the past 9 days had made it one of the most successful in the history. He attributed much of the success of the sale to a cqiabination of the low.

prices brought about by months of planning and mass buy ing and effectiveness of the newspaper as an advertising medium. Mr. B. Grine stated that many of the prices, which will still be in effect tomorrow, are what is known as 'once-in-a-lifetime" prices and that shopper response had" been icspondingly large. He further added that although there were still stocks on.most of the special sale items, he did not expect many of them to last the entire shopprilg day tomorrow.

DEMANDS RETURN OF Hoic Fov He saw "eye to eye" with the late Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, dictator of Poland, but the recognition Germany had extended to treaties to which Poland a signatory, does not extend to new treaties concluded i since the death of Pilsudski. He apparently referred to the British pledges of military aid to Poland in event of attacfc. The pledge has not yet been made into a formal trenty. These new treaties are "not necei- sary," Hitler said, because all outstanding problems with Poland can be solved within the framework of the Polish-German understanding. Demands Pathway However, he- Poland needs access to the sea, so does Germany need access to East Prussia which is separated by the Polish corridor from the rest of the Reich.

Hitler then declared that a pathway across the corridor (probably an express highway owned by Germany) could not have any military significance. Hitter tocn presented his demands on Poland: 1--Solution of tlie problem of the free city of Danzig, which Germany wants returned to the Reich. 2--A pathway for Germany across tlie Polish corridor. "Danzig must be returned to the Reich," he said. "The Polish borders must be rectified.

"The Polisjti government has declined my suggestions. I regret such an attitude. Like Czechoslovakia, Poland now stands under the pressure of the international war mongers. Rather than accept the generous offer of a 25-year pact, they prefer to arm against an imagined danger. "Danzig is German and will never be Polish." Hitler reiterated that Germany considers the new agreement between Britain and Poland--as yet unannounced publicly as having been signed by Poland--an unfriendly gesture.

"Mass Hysteria" In 17. S. He then said that Poland had violated the German-Polish non- aggression treaty, negotiated by Pikudski, and that "I now consider it as no longer He referred to "mass hysteria" in the United States, which he called "the land of unlimited possibilities." Germany, he said, is impregnable to any attack and need not heed the cries of the war mongers beyond her Borders, The German people, he said, have unlimited confidence in'their leaders and the leaders have the same confience in the people. He said he agreed fully with Mr. Roosevelt's preference, for a peaceful" solution of international problems.

He said he had never in tuej past resorted to war. Theoietically. Hitler agreed, all problems can be solved around a conference table, but reason has not always prevailed at such conference. It must be understood that those fortunate empires which find all things they need within, their borders must not deny less fortunate people access to raw materials. Hitler said, speaking ironically, that the greatness and the material resources of America might permit tlie President to take upon himself the fate of all the peoples of the world.

"I work on a smaller scale," he said. "I have to confine myself to the destinies of the nation of which I am the head." Hitler ended speech at 8:25 a. m.
