Music Publisher Says Hula Will Replace Charleston
Hollywood, May 11—(U.P.)—It's gonna take a lot of pep to keep hep with the musicians this year. Right now they've got everybody kicking up their heels in the "Charleston."
This comes straight from Irving Mills, a music publisher who owns 150 thousand dollars worth of songs and can tell you what you'll be singing two years before you know it yourself.
Next, it'll be the hip-swingin' nula.
And if your ole muscles are all kinked up from trying to keep pace with the Dixieland two-beat, blame it on this gent. He's the one who started the revival. He had a lot of help, however, from a British lord who ordered a flock of Dixieland tunes for London.
"I took him over a lot of swing records and he liked those, all right. Then he asked, kind of timidly, if we had any Dixieland. I sent him some and they sold like crazy all over the British empire."
hired or timidly. Mr. Mills says, 'He is not responsible for this wild Charleston erase.' Ernest Fisk, head of the electrical music industry in England.
"It's kind of funny." Mr. Mills
ys, "but a British is responsible
That gave the publisher an idea. The minute he got home from London he went into action with his two-beat bands. And first thing anybody knew, jitterbugging and jive were out and the Charleston was in.
Movie stars do it. . . housewives and businessmen are brushing up
Back him into a corner and he'll admit he might hurry 'em up a little once in a while—to get ahead of the competition. But he says the Dixieland revival would've happened along anyhow.
on it. . . even cowboys are having a fling at it. A local barn dance palace has a special "Charleston night" for energetic cowpokes. And we hear those bow-legged versions are a sight to see.
"And you want a scoop?" he whispered. "I'll tell you what's going to be next. Maybe in six months ... maybe sooner. It's Hawaiian music."
"The signs are all over. Steamship companies are plugging the islands for vacations. . . department stores are getting up big displays of Hawaiian clothes. . . everybody's Honolulu happy."
Including him. He's got stacks of hula music all ready and it's beginning to look like we'll have to practice shakin' our chassis before we even get our breath back from that Charleston.
These things run in cycles," he explained. "I've been watching musical generation starts a new rage that was going strong 20 years ago."
Mr. Mills says it was "inevitable."

Bob Crosby Still Bing's 'Kid Brother'
Self-Service Laundry 613 Vermont
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Every time Bing Crosby makes headlines, his brother Bob said, he gets a new title himself.
"For years," the younger Crosby grinned, "I was 'Bing's kid brother.' Now, with his kids turning crooner, too, I'm 'Gary Crosby's uncle'."
And if Bing and Dixie are having family squabbles—which they say they aren't—his next title might be: "Dixie Crosby's exbrother-in-law."
"People are always trying to scrape up a feud between Bing and me," Bob said. "I can't even wear a loud Hawaiian sports shirt without somebody giving me the 'trying-to-copy Bing-huh?' routine.
"They did it when I cracked the entertainment business. Heck, I turned singer because it paid more in picking cucumbers, which I had been doing.
"Then when I went on the radio, I got it again. Same with movies. And records. At least Bing hasn't recorded 'The Stars and Stripes Forever,' yet.
"I couldn't even take up golf without somebody accusing me of latching on to that because Bing plays it."
Now he's getting ready to make a series of comedy pictures with crooner Frankie Laine. And he's bracing himself for the inevitable: "Huh, making like Bing and Bob Hope, hmm?"
"They had 'The Road' pictures." Bob shrugged. "Ours'll be 'The Path' movies...we have a very limited budget."
This feuding business goes on and on, he says, and has been so long nobody can even remember now where or when it started.
"Actually, we're very good friends," Bob explained. My position with Bing is that of a small boy who walks up to his big brother and says: "Blow my nose for me."
'The big brother hands him a handkerchief and says: 'Blow it yourself.'
"That's Bing and me. But we
can't ever seem to get the idea through anybody's head."
