Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra WHEN YOU AWAKE — F.T. (V.R.) Tommy records two excellent tunes in the pattern most prefer red by his huge following. In me dium tempo, TWO DREAMS MET, another four star selection from “Down Argentine Way,” is meant only for Tommy’s trombone with clarinet and muted brass back ground, Connie Haines’ beautiful voice, and fully rounded ensemble chorous. For tops in dreamy tempos and smooth dancing, WHEN YOU AWAKE is THE number. Frank Sinatra and the Dorsey trombone share the honors; the band lifts the sock into an easy bounce. 26766 DANCING ON. A DIME— F.T. (.) Larry Clinton and his Orchestra. I HEAR MUSIC—F.T. (V.R.) Terry Allen sells DANCING ON A DIME with Clinton woodwinds and brasses creating a cozy setting for the cozy dancing about which Terry sings. This “rock-easy” mel ody is from Paramount’s “Dancing on a Dime”. Peggy Mann adds the lyric punch to Clinton’s very rhy thmic arrangement of I HEAR MU SIC. Exceptionally fine drive plus a terrific jazz ending makes this side great for jumpin’. B-10890 YOU’RE BREAKING MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN F.T. (V.R.) Bob Chester and his Orchestra ARISE MY LOVE—F. T. (V.R.) The Chester band waxes two good songs. Dolores O’Neill sings the very fine lyrics to YOU’RE BREAKING MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN in her appealing style, while Chester features his five way sax section in the smooth parts. ARISE MY LOVE, from Claudette Colbert’s new picture of the same name, again spots Miss O’Neill. Chester’s arrangement has New Club Organized Last Wednesday Nite The A. & M. Land of the Lake Club was officially organized last Wednesday night. The officers e- lected were James Spann, B In fantry, president; George Taylor, C Troop Cavalry, vice-president; Viron Higgins, D Infantry, secre tary-treasurer; and Jordon Wolf,, ogy department, work carried on Assignments Made For Texas Aggie Entomologist Official assignments for the ar ticles to be published in the Texas Aggie Entomologist, Entomology club publication, were made at the regular meeting of the club Thurs day night. These topics include work being done by the alumni of the entomol- B Chem Warfare, reporter. Membership in this club is re stricted to those Aggies living in Burnet, Lampasas, Llano, San Saba and Mills Counties. To date only twenty members have been enrol led in the club but that number is expected to double within the next two weeks. Plans have been made for a Longhorn picture and for the A. & M. dance to be held during the Thanksgiving holidayfs at Lake Buchanan in Llano County. a bit of spice in the form of a re curring introduction, interlude and ending theme. B-10893 A HANDFUL OF STARS —F.T. (V.R. Glenn Miller and his Orchestra YESTERTHOUGHTS—F.T. (V- R.) Ray Eberle sings Glenn’s much- talked-about A HANDFUL OF STARS (from M-G-M’s “Hullaba loo”) in the RIGHT tempo—slow drag. Five woodwinds complement his voice, and Tex plays a confiden tially subtone tenor phrase that’s really sweet. The coupling (an old Victor Herbert melody with words- penned by Stanley Adams) moves a bit brighter, yet slow enough for Ray to most effectively remind us of YESTERTHOUGHTS. Miller’s full chorded arrangements are most harmonious. B-10895 I GIVE YOU MY WORD —F.T. (V.R.) Mitchell Ayres and his Fashions-in-Music THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL —F.T. (V.R.) The first is one of the best of the new crop of ballads, and Mit chell’s arrangement is quite apro pos. Tommy Taylor gives the lyrics loads of sincerity. The other tune, an Ayres novelty, is cute enough to appeal to all types of listeners. The Shirt-oj-the-Month is a Complete Ensemble!
