well as expressive vitality and in

The second group of selections
evidenced a mastery of emotional
and technical appeal. The tall, com
manding organist, who has about
him a suggestion of the traditional
virtuoso, played Handel’s “Musette
and Minuet,” Boellmann’s “French
Rondo,” Franck’s “Chorale in A
Minor,” Mulet’s “Thou Art The
Rock," Bendell’s “Divertissement,”
and Andriessen’s “Toccata.” The
Boellmann selection, which was
played entirely on white keys to
indicate that variety might be
achieved without the use of a single
accidental, was particularly effec
tive. It was in the Franck number,
however, that Dr. Asper drew his
greatest ovation. The organist seem
ed to have captured some of the
lofty expression which Franck is
supposed to have put into this num
ber. The tone picture of good and
evil, which the selection suggests,
was easily apparent.
Dratmatic modern, and played
along large, sweeping lines was An
driessen’s “Toccata.” Dr. Asper
showed a keen sense of sympathy
which characterized the work of
this earnest and gifted musician,
who is director of the conservatory

-How We Met-
PERRY COMO
My favorite tune at the moment
(it’spure coincidence thatlrecorded
it for Victor) is “Give Me Your
Hand.” The
lyrics go,“Give
me your hand.
Let me be ever
near.’’Here is
a classy propo
sal of marri
age set to
music, which
should help a
lot of bashful
swains.
“Give Me
Your Hand” started me thinking
about married couples in show busi
ness. I looked around and came up
with a few sidelights on well known
couples, ho w they met, and how their
marriage influenced their careers.
******
TakeBeaWainand Andre Baruch,
known to the butcher and baker as
Mr. and Mrs. Baruch. They met on
a Kate Smith show. Just said “hello”
casually, as you do on a big program.
What followed sounds like a gag tb
me, but Andre swears it’s true.
Seems he hadn’t been feeling too
well. As the show went on, he felt
worse and worse. He hung on until
the program was over, then picked
a quiet corner and fainted. (So he
says.) In the confusion, Bea was the
only one who noticed the limp bun
dle of Baruch. She (to quote Andre)
“rushed over with a pitcher of ice
water which she poured all over my
new tuxedo.” Things like that take
the formality out of a first meeting.
Andre says he got even by marry
ing the girl.
Stanley and Helen Melba share
one of the most unusual careers in
show business. Their firm produces
shows and supplies entertainment
for a large hotel chain, for conven
tions, charitable events, society par
ties, and anything else which calls
for top entertainment. You just call
them up and say, ‘ ‘A few hundred in
timate friends are dropping in next
Saturday. Will you please put on a
fashion show and send over a few jug
glers, a magician and a name band ? ’ ’
They take it from there.
Stanley and Helen met at a party
when Helen was 16, Stanley a few
years older. They had a long engage
ment, and Helen was every bit of 19
when they married. At that time,
Stanley was playing saxophone in
Ozaie Nelson’s band. He switched to
a job on Wall Street, intending to be
the standard model husband. But,
Wall Street failed to reward him
properly, and he had to take an or
chestra job on the side. Finally, he
organized his own band. He mixed
up the books so thoroughly that
Helen stepped in as bookkeeper.
Now, she’s a full-time partner, stag
ing shows and helping with the man
agement of seven orchestras.
Tex McCrary and Jinx Falken-
burg met when Tex interviewed Jinx
for the Daily Mirror in 1941. She
was a starlet and an up-and-coming
model. Tex wrote editorials and did
a daily feature column for the Mir
ror. Their paths kept crossing dur
ing the next few years. This was
remarkable, because both of them
were traveling all Over the world,
Tex in the Air Force and Jinx with
the USO. At last, Tex discovered that
Jinx was about to leave the United
States for Europe just as he was
due back. He cabled a mutual friend
in New York: “Locate Jinx. Tell her
to stall. Guy who wants to marry
her en route home.” It worked and
today —well, you know what a
change marriage has made in those
two careers.
While we’re on the subject of early
romances, I just can’t resist men
tioning “he-man” Mitch Ayres, our
conductor on the Chesterfield Sup
per Club. You know, most people
don’t think of Mitch as a Romeo, at
least not the kind of a guy who falls
in love with a gal and can’t eat. In
1936, Mitch methis wife, Georganna,
in Hollywood while he was working
on a movie at an outdoor location
scene. He made cute conversation
with her between the scenes, dated
her a few times and then left the
coast on a tour. Strangely enough,
he f Qund himself avoiding dates after
that and suddenly realized that he
was up to his neck in love. He mar
ried Georganna shortly afterward,
that is, as soon as he could get back
to the coast.
One of my favorite “how-we-met”
stories comes from a versatile and
distinguished show business couple,
Kitty Carlisle and Moss Hart.
Author-producer Hart and actress-
singer Carlisle, when pressed for a
story on how they met, came tip
with a beautifully simple one. “We
can’t remember,” they said. “We’ve
known each other for years.” '
French Clubs Mews HolcI Meeting
Peace has been restored here at
the “ole-brick” school since the
Panthers have been victorious in
their last two encounters to square
their won and lost record at 2-2.
The team has been extolled and
the student body has shown infi
nite exultation. We should mani
fest the same spirit as a loser.
Being indignant toward the players
is poor sportsmanship.
I feel that Co-captain Chatters
expressed the sentiment of the
players in his remarks to the stu
dent body following the Tuske-
gee-Clark game. The lousy spirit
shown by the students forced Chat
ters to make it known that the
fellows played their best in spite of
losing the game to Tuskegee 14-0.
I don’t think that they will be con
fronted with this problem again.
On November 24 the Panthers will
be defending their city grid title
against the Morris Brown Purple
Wolverines in their annual Thanks
giving classic.
