1835 recording by Benny Goodman an arrangement by Fletcher Henderson of tha fine Vincent You mans tune which after 12 years still la an impeccable design in tha swing field It contains the wonderful growling trumpet of the late Bunny Beri-gan as well as such other single jass geniuses as Harry Jamas Adrian Rollinl and Gen Krupa and the other side "Changes" Is equally indicative of the early and better Benny Goodman style The others In this set Include a a "King Porter Stomp" "Roll 'Em" Ive Found A New Baby" "Afraid to Dream" and "Goodbye" all an sxcellent retroactive demonstration of the 1935-37 period which made Goodman and the awing hand business a rich field commercially and artistically If you will concede that swing music can have its artistic compensations The film "Forever

the brightest American Ingenue since Margaret Suilavan' "Mias Lockhart a debut is aa exciting as Helen Hayes was in Brutus and Ruth Chat-terton In The "She even dominates th pro ceedngs when she is an innocent and mute "She haa started her career at the Leve Letters One reviewer reflected a few days later in his column: notices June Lockhart received were not just enthusiastic commendations and applause They were love letters All of ua told her rapturously that she was not only a delightful young actress giving a most attractive performance but the most wonderful girl In the world and that we are crazy about her" The object of their affections told a friend: "I never never thought It would be like this Chemically I'm not put together for anything like this I'm not sexy I honestly thought if I did steady sensible work that maybe when I was 30 or 85 1 would get approval aa a good octrees" June la well shouldered slim BADCSnG by David Raksin the fellow who wrote "Laura and is
