There are those who seem to be laboring under the impression that a fine must be paid for every ticket written. If that were the case, any slot machine, cigarette or soft drink vender could sub stitute for any Recorder.

Paper—Single Copy, 5¢ Legion Post 20 To Gene Krupa, one of the world’s greatest drummers, brings his famous band to Athens on« January 10, at Steggman Hall. The dance is being sponsored by American Legion Post 20. Krupa, who with Benny Good man and Tommy Dorsey helped to educate the public to the rage of swing music back in 1934, is today one of the leading dance maestros in the country. Since leaving Goodman's band to or ganize his own, Krupa has made a Paramount picture with his orchestra, has been featured on the radio networks, Columbia re cordings, and has played many of the best locations in the country, including the Hotels Pennsylvania, New York Paramount, Hotel Sher man, The Palomar, Chicago Theatre, Philadelphia Arcadia International Restaurant, and Meadowbroock Club in New Jersey. Prior to his arrival in this city, Krupa stated, “Popular dance music today, that is, good dance music has adopted the swing beat, I don’t mean ,that it must have rhythm only and be loud or full of volume, but I do mean that there should be rhythm and pienty of it!" But Krupa is the first to say that the era of blatant swing has subsided. As the foremost expon enl of the drums and cymbal, Gene might be expected to try to stay the day of the loud jazz band. But Krupa believes that a ver satile rhythm man should be able to adapt himself and his band to tempo and volume changes. “Not that the good jazz tune has gone” says Gene, “It’s istill a big thing, but at least sixty percent of the music bands play today should be fashioned for dancers.
