MUSICAL NOTES
Ballads Tt
- 'Rock 'n
By Bob Grosse
Special Writer
September being the month f
beginnings and for endings, I
reminiscence and for the lo
look to the future, it is fitti
that this column today shot
review the history of the pt
few months in popular music a
also gaze into the future I
prognostication.
The most salient feature
the past summer in the pop fi4
would seem to be the dimini:
ing of "Rock and Roll" as a i
jor social force of our civili:
tion. Its influence seems to he
fallen to a point somewhere 1
tween the "Mickey Mouse Clu
and "What Happened in Gri
man's Chinese Theater."
Not Dead
Now, "Rock and Roll" is t
dead yet as any half-hour spt
listening to Columbia's forem,
radio stations will prove, but
has lost the mad, impetuous el
which formerly characterized
The Mystic Cult of "Rock a
Roll" with all its wierd batt(
of hells, gongs, sirens, kazu
duck calls, monosyllabic lyri
and monotone voices manaj
this summer to come upl w
only a few wveary, warmed-o
versions of old standards I
"Love' Lette'rs in the Sand,"
'"I'm Gonna Sit Right Dowvn a
Write Myself a Letter," thern
adding little to the great Ami
can heritage except the phr'
"Oh Yeah!"
"R'n'R" seems now to be f
'Vored by only two classes of
eiety: (I) poor musicians v
cherish it because of the 1
technical demands it p)laces uj
the performer such as into
tion, key signature, or talent,
(2) the followers of certain pr~
itive dance forms to which
"Rock and Roll" beat is adn
ably suited.

Furthermore, the defection
"Rock and Roll" has been h'
tened by the recent return
popularity of that old stand
the love ballad. As an interest

of Johnny Mathis. Johnny's fl

'20's REAPPEAR
Silhoue
By Paula Devine aF
Staff Writer o
)e Ever since the revival of the to
s, Charleston, women's fashions al
al have reflected the golden age of
n- the twenties. And this year even
d more fashion modes of the flap- P
er per are in evidence. b
The 1920 silhouette has been k
S. adopted using the sheath skirt Io
n which has become an institution w
'd in American fashion and the bl
al blousan back with fullness orig
inating from pleats or gathers
al along the neat waist line. Both
in the long waist and the tie at the e'
il- waist are prominent. The middy d
b- blouse is another modern revival c
Id of days gone by.

Ii- Fur Trim
And as they were 30 years
ike Lead As
Roll' Falls
"It's Not For Me to Say," an
other ballad, was more fortunate.
Then too, there is Peggy Lee's
or ballad, "Old Cape Cod." Coming
or at the beginning of the ballad
boom in May, this tune rode the
crest all summer and is still very
ng big. By means of her musical
ild sight-seeing tour, Miss Lee has
tst sold more bowls of clam chowder
nd this summer than the combined
or efforts of the Nantucket, Paw
tucket, and Martha's Vineyard
Chambers of Commerce. And, of
of course, she sold a few records
'ld as well.
h- "Tamuiy"
ha- However, the record which
'a- really caught the present boom
ve at its peak and parlayed itself
e- to the top of the hit parade is
b" "Tammy." This bit of bucolic
balladry is typical of the new
lu- surge of ballads to the fore. It
obeys all the rules of the game;
it is simple, sad, and sexy.
One more encouraging trend
tot in the popular music field is the
mnt recent success of jazz and jazz
>st tinged artists in the pop field.
it Vocal groups like the Four
Freshman, Jackie Cain and Roy
it Kral, and the Hi-Lo's have been
- accepted by even the most crass
nd "R'n'R" fans. The omnipresent
ry Frank Sinatra continues to win
os, converts by the hundreds to the
cs, rational side of music. Even Ella
e Fitzgerald, of all people, has
edmadle inroads into the pop music
ith scene. Her album, "Cole Porter
:er Songbook" threatens to set newv
ike sale aecords. She's even better
nd than E. Presley.
Thus, wvith summerc gone, and
nad fall fell, the ballad is here for
*b the winter. Let us, then, rest our
~ri- enars ini peakce.

league with dark stripes, the
fisherman's or roll-up sleeve, and
button down collars. They reflect
the twenties with the full back
and unusual accent on the waist.
And Carolina coeds used the win

The dual role which fashion
has assumed this fall is carried
over into wool sweaters, skirts
and ensembles. So from cottons
to the dressy wool sheath the ac
cent is on the back, the waist,
and the silhouette. It's the bulky
look with a little trimness or the
casual with care.
