Convention in Jimmie Lunceford and Orchestra Here t Monday Nite, June 20 Jimmie Lunceford and his famous orchestra, whose recordings of "My BIuo Heaven", "For Panc^ ers Only", "Dream of You". "Four or Five Times", "Organ Grinders Swing", the current sensation "Margie", and many others have become over-night international fa vorites, will swing it out sweet and hot at the Township auditorium, Columbia, S. C., on Monday night, June 20th from. 9 until. Front coast to coast the smooth, distinctive Lunceford swing and the smart vocalizing technique of the famed Lunceford trio and choit have bean ?<t thn ?lti_ mate in swing and rhythm interpretations. Not content with being just the rage on this side of the Atlantic, last year they set out to conquer new worlds via an extended toui of Europe where they were received and recognize^ as the .greatest importation since the days of. bustles and knee-breeches. And so, due to this indescribably-brilliant aggregation, a then only mildly-, enthused continent became cognizant of a new era in the entertainment field led by this thing called swing. Today, a swing-conscious world is still more conscious of a univesally accepted fact, that wherever smooth swing makes itself known, the Jimmie Lunceford ! orohestra is its outstanding expo| nent and seems destined to remain so for a long time to come. All of which goes to remind you ?that Monday night, June 20th"~at the Township auditorium is an eyent not to be missed and one that will long be remembered by the dance lovers of our fair city.
