Even though, says our friend Jade, their switchboards were "Swamped with calls from MADE OF FRENCH CANE enthusiastic listeners.” Jack feels that the platter blat­ ters of our fair city have let their own nasty minds near things in Joyce’s inflections on certain phrases (like the way she mur­ ...LONG-PLAYING murs “And then I feel his lips— with his hands on my hips”) that were not in her mind at all. Jack feels that their attitude was very unchivalrous toward a young lady who was about to be­ come an “overnight sensation,” and also very unkind to agent Berle Adams, who spent “several thousand dollars” for the 35-piece orchestra and music treatment by Phil Moore. (Jack didn’t tell us what Adams received when he sold thia side and others by Joyce to London records.) On Her Way We’re of the opinion, after test­ ing Joyce via her recording on a number of males of ordinary sus­ ceptibility, that she la on her way in a big way, despite—or maybe because of — this thunderous sil­ encing by our local waxies of her TONE-GROOVE recorded adventures with the alco­ holic effects of Aphrodite. (Gad! See what the record did to Holly?!) And knowing Berle Adama, we doubt if he’ll ever get caught putting his bucks on a bad bet.
