PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: September 5, 1945 CANDY Dorothy Dix Says- Broadway i iff With Dorothy Kilgallen Longhairs and Jaszhairs WHEN that Mississippi Bubble called jazz exploded in New Orleans' at the turn of the century, it sent prisms all over the world. The country at large, especially that Storyville Cradle in the Crescent City, was slow to accept it. Europe got serious about hot licks first, the Belgian and French wrote about it and a few years later longhair musicians here and abroad were willing to talk of Louis Armstrong in the same breath with De Pachmann. Jazz critics popped out full-blown from Yale and Harvard. Barry Ulanov was leaving Columbia with Metronome in his of Tsim cwvcvws to this I what a whacky idea-thinki! I hnow.

It got so many intellectuals and their attendant sets said right-o to jazz. Meanwhile, the jazz musician, originally, haps, ignorant of what he was doing, became more articulate, too. liked music.

He began to say so and be influenced, even as he was influencing others. JIary Iou Williams, whose jazz piano is as delicate as a sonnet, liked to commune with Debussy, her favorite being: his Le Serenade Interrompue." JAl Armstrons, the first important female instrumentalist of this lusty newcomer, prefers Bach's E-Flat Minor Prelude and Fuge from "The Well-Tempered Clavichord. Edmond Hall, the veteran New Orleans clarinetist, likes Bach's simplicities, too, enjoys improvising with the "Invention in A Minor." But the king of saxophonists, Coleman Hawkins, claims no favorites. The whole world of classical music delights him, it's solid, that's all. It's a good deal.

Classical composers have let jazz influence thera, too. Once on a tour to America, Maurice Ravel sat up all night in Chicago to hear Jimmy Noone lick the problems of the licorice suck. Fascinated, the great Frenchman scribbled onto music manuscript paper some of the runs and trills Ivoone was ere ating. When he showed the stuff to Isoone afterward, Isoon dis claimed any such prowess. "I THE 5Hi? WOULTNY OF SUNK FNCU ADMT LET TVS BATHTUB RUM OVER 1 7HA75AU water.

Duke Ellington listens to Delius a lot, particularly to "Walk Through Paradise Gardens." His own brand of fine music isn't too unlike the English impressionists. In fact, Delius and Ravel are best-sellers in Harlem record stores. Billie Holiday collects Ravel assiduously, whistles to her Boxer puppy.

Mister, with the "Daph-nis and Chloe" suite theme. Stuff Smith, the beaming chap who made purists take hot violin and love it, veers toward Chopin and the waltz school. Another sort of wild waltz is favored by the new trumpet star, Charley Shavers. He likes the frantic and flaming "La Vaise" of Ravel, which he first heard on Billie Holiday's recommendation. Harry James chooses the same composition but his stationery carries a letter head which advertises his passion for light pops.

Many Wed Hoping To Alter Mates Getting married is the most important act of our lives, for on how it turns out depends our hap- pmess, our yiuajjti it.jr a j. our health, yet it is the only thing we do in I which we pick out one thing when we want and need some- i thing entirely different.

No man would invest his all in a fancy limousine if he ex- Dorothy Dix pected to do heavy hauling with it, nor would any playboy buy a truck in which to go joy-riding. Yet every day we see otherwise intelligent people marrying women and men who are totally unfitted to be the kind of wives and husbands they" desire. We see highly cultivated men marrying girls who have never read anything but the society and beauty columns in the newspapers; domestic men marrying girls who are allergic to the kitchen and whose idea of perfect bliss is to spend all their evenings in night clubs; men who need wives who will be working partners with them marrying sickly, neurotic girls who will be nothing but a doctor's bill. And we see girls who want security in marriage blithely stepping to the altar with drunkards. We see girls who want husbands they can trust marrying philanderers.

Girls who want husbands who can give them good homes and a comfortable living marry lazy, no-account, ne'er-dq-wells who have let their- mothers take in boarders to support them. And as we observe these misfit marriages, and pernaps renect upon our own, we wonder why they did it; why the bookish man didn't marry a bookish woman; why the man who loves to eat didn't pick out a good cook; why the girl who wanted a good pro vider didn't select a go-getter, and so on Goren on Bridge By Charles H.

I guess she was very uncomfortable in my old job where nobody seems to appreciate what I have been through. Can re-enlist and What advantages would I have as the result of my previous service?" The army has already set up a re-enlwtment program under the direction of Brigadier General Harold N. Gilbert, formerly of the Office of Dependency Benefits. If a man is physically qualified for regular service he can re-enter the regular army for a period of three years and the ex-service man has many advantages.

Qualified individuals now In the army who desire to re-enlist in the regular army will be discharged In the regular way, and then re-enlisted.

Individuals without prior service and those who have been out of service for more than three months may enlist by volunteering for induction.

Such individuals upon induction will be enlisted in the regular army. Men now in the army who enlist for the regular army will be granted furloughs up to 90 days depending on their length of serv ice. Those overseas qualified for furlough will be returned to the United States to enable them to spend their furloughs at home that is, if they put in a request for the same.

I init a the newspaper, the recipe you wrofe printed all wrong it he DID put it honors offset the two trick pen alty and there was no score. In the post-mortem discussion one of our adversaries pointed out that game at no trump could he made, I countered with the suggestion that a spade opening would de feat the contract, though frankly I had little faith in our teammates selecting such a lead. East stoutly maintained, and there is no gain saying him, that the two of dia mods would have been his open ing shot. I was in no mood to lose an argument, which is usually the case when I am set two tricks in a contract I have reached on my own power. Even with a diamond opening, I persisted, the contract could be defeated by the return of the king of spades which would shut out the run of the heart suit.

"Yes," retorted West, "but who would think of that?" At the conclusion of the match we compared notes with our team mates, Sidney Silodor and Mrs. W. Wagar of Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Wagar opened the two of diamonds and, to use her words, "Sidney had the king of spades out on the table al most before he had played the ace of diamonds.

The king of spades at trick two is a logical play. It sacrifices one trick in that suit but more than makes up for it by shutting out the heart suit. If declarer has a singleton heart or even two small hearts this will be the winning play. If declarer has the ace and another heart it is doubtful that the contract can be defeated. The defense took in three club tricks and two diamonds to defeat the contract.
