Bob said: “For the past two hours here on the program, all of the songs we’ve played were performed by Negro recording artists. During this time there was not one phone call to the station from anyone who realized the group designation. Let’s, therefore, all judge people as fairly as we do the records on a radio show—individually and on the merits of each.”

Here’s an LP that’s already heading for the top. First reports indicate that “B.G. in HI-FI” could be one of Benny Goodman’s biggest selling LPs. And it’s all because it brings together the great Goodman material which topped the hit parade list in the thirties and forties, and today’s amazing recording techniques. Although B.G.’s former recordings at concerts, etc., were the greatest, much of the sharpness and feeling that the crew offered was lost due to recording condition. This package is as clear as a whistle. One look at the contents in it and it’s sold. Goodman has a tremendous crew working with him in such artists as Mel Powell, Robert Donaldson, Ruby Braff and a host of others. It’s also the type of recording that will sell and sell and sell for years to come. Every groove is fabulous.

AUDREY; JEEPERS CREEPERS; PENNIES FROM HEAVEN; WHY DO I LOVE YOU; STOMPIN' FOR Mill; KEEPIN' OUT OF MISCHIEF NOW; A FINE ROMANCE; BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME. Not too much need be said about this album. Dave Brubeck is a potent sales puller. His following is large and ever growing. Dave, who has a particular style of jazz, heavily flavored with classical tendencies, has developed into the leading jazz figure of today. He has received more national publicity and promotion than any other jazz artist, including the fabulous story in “Time” as well as a wonderful spread in “Life.” In addition to the intriguing work of the quartet, and as ever, Paul Desmond has plenty of opportunity to display his sax genius, the technical sound produced is excellent.

NOVELTY YIPPEE! M UP GAME PLAY! OPERATE

CHICAGO CHATTER SPITFIRE Music leaders here agree that public opinion is the one power all legislators vV-s Y definitely heed. Public opinion is, in almost all cases, best expressed bv letters and wires. OVER A MILLION LETTERS AND TELEGRANMS must be immediately rushed to Senators and Congressmen. This is Public Opinion in its most forceful state. OVER A MILLION LETTERS AND WIRES avalanching down on Senators and Congressmen from all music operators, their employees, friends, and all business people allied to them, is the one best way to prove to these legislators that the three bills now before them: “Kilgore Bill” (S.590) and the two “Thompson Bills” (H.R.2677 and H.R.4316) are definitely in- jurious to a great number of their constituents. The constituents of these Sena- tors and Congressmen who voted them into these highest legislative offices in this nation! Regardless of how much time and money it costs each music operator to get out those wires and letters—it’s a bargain! If the operator doesn’t protect his investment, BY RUSHING OVER A MILLION WIRES AND LETTERS, and should one of these bills ever become Federal Law, he can be taxed right out of business. Two of these bills grant copyright organizations like ASCAP—ABSOLUTE AND UNLIMITED TAXING AUTHORITY. They can charge whatever, whenever and however much they feel like charging- juke boxes and juke box owners, or both.

Unless you want to be taxed right out of business you’d better get out of that chair, roll up your sleeves and pitch in to help defeat the “Kilgore Bill” (S.590). The welfare of your business, your family, your future and the future of your children are at stake. That’s why over a million letters and wires should flood congress now—today! Letter writing for a busy coinman is a hard task but those letters can be our most potent weapon to save the music industry.

DISTRIBUTOR DOINGS:—It’s most encouraging to see that distributors in the area are mostly for dime play. Many of them can see it as a means of

developing LA into a key coin machine market in the very near future. . . . PAUL A. LAYMON & CO.:—While rushing around waiting on customers Jimmy Wilkens enthusiastically exclaimed, “Business has been wonderful. We’ve had a big run on used bowlers and music machines along with lots of activity on Bally’s “Big-Time” In-Lines and “Magic Bowlers”. He added, “Bally’s latest entries into the field have been most heartily accepted by the

ops here in Southern California”. . . . BADGER SALES CO.:—According to Joe Duarte, top brass in the export sales dept., foreign trade is picking up tremendously. They have been flooded with orders for all types of coin operated equipment from South America and the Philippines. The Badger service department has been running two shifts daily in order to get all the equipment re-

conditioned and ready for shipment. . . . Bill Happel and Fred Gaunt have been shooting up the town with Keeney’s new “Ranger” and Genco’s “Wild West” guns. Seems like location owners and their customers have gone com-

pletely gun crazy the way operators have been buying them up. . . . C A. ROBINSON & CO.:—Last week Charley Robinson received his first shipment of United’s new “Manhattan” In-Line and things suddenly started happening. Operators started pouring in to his West Pico establishment and before he

and A1 Bettleman could turn around twice the games were all sold out. . . . Dave Wallach, Robinson’s new sales rep., is now on the road buying and

selling used equipment thru the Arizona and Texas areas. . . . MINTHORNE MUSIC CO.:—Commanding the center of attention at the Minthorne showrooms is Chicago Coin’s new “Arrow” bowler and Exhibit’s “500” Shooting

Gallery. Southland coinmen are showing keen interest in both games. . . . Minthorne is now the distributors for the Telefunken line of German hi-fi

radios, tubes and hi-fi components. . . . Jean and Dolores left for Phoenix to set the line at their branch showrooms there. Bob Weber will manage the Telefunken sales department here in Los Angeles.

OPS JOTS:—The interest in the wide array of new equipment now on the market is shown by the throngs of suburban operators who passed along coinrow last week. The average coinman is now more particular than ever before about the type of equipment he buys. He always keeps in mind what will be the most profitable phono or game in a certain location and which piece will

meet the location owners approval. . . . Johnny Ketchersid and Orville Kendig

from Long Beach were among the many out-of-towners. . . . Gene DeVilbis,

Big Bear, was seen in town again taking care of business. . . . Jack Neel drove

down from Riverside. . . . Don and Dolores Wykoff trekked in along the Pico

strip from Newhall. . . . C. L. Andrews also came in from Santa Ana. . . . Everyone was surprised to see Harold Sharkey from Huntington Park. He hadn’t been in town for many a moon. COINROW CHATTER:—Vick Knight, head of the newly formed Key Rec- ords label, tells us about the drunk in Las Vegas who stuffed 20 dimes into

the juke box before he discovered it had no handle. . . . Lee Palmer of Mercury Record Distributors, here, has compiled a list of all the record distributors in the area and the lines they handle for the convenience of operators and dealers. If you have not received a copy we suggest that you get in touch

with Lee at 2958 W. Pico, LA (6). . . . Bunny Paul was in visiting all the operators and crew at Calif. Music Company last week. She was kicking off her first Capitol waxing of “Please Have Mercy”. This R & B bouncer is kicking up quite a fuss locally and is expected to be a big juke box number.

All agree that something must be done to fight the practice of some

operators giving locations money to attain top spots. It’s getting to a point

where an op must pay the exorbitant fee to get a choice spot or lose out to

another operator who is willing to come up with the money. . . . The cities two leading one-stops were in the limelight last week as some of the nation’s top recording stars came in to tell one and all about their latest releases. Visiting along coinrow were The Crewcuts, Georgia Gibbs and Rusty Draper. Wade Ray stopped in at Leuenhagen’s Record Bar to chat with Mary and Kay Solle. Mary came up with another one of her famous predictions. She sez that Andy Griffith’s comic version of “Make Yourself Comfortable” on Capitol

will be a big hit. . . . Carpenters have been busy at Bard Distributing Com- pany. The upper balcony of the Bard showrooms, which were formerly used for storage, is being converted into an office which will serve as new quarters

for A1 Hanlin. . . . Lyn Brown seen whizzing along Pico busier than a one

armed paper hanger. . . . Aubrey Stemler, Regional rep. for Eastern Electric, THE CASH BOX hitting all the Southland territories showing the new “Electro” ciggie vendor. 26 WEST 47th STREET . . .
