Notes between the notes: Stan Brown's signing the Dunster House dance November 11 comes as no surprise as he and his band are being considered for the Fitch Band Wagon . . . Victor records announce that the following Goodman records are being dropped from the Victor label to the Bluebird listings. And don't miss them, because they're all old ones that are good: "If I Could Be With You"--"Dear Old Southland"; "Japanese Sandman".--"I Know That You Know"; "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea"--"Christopher Columbus"; "Madhouse"--"Get Happy"; "Can't We Be Friends"--"Swing...
Reporters at press conference next day found that the President had gone from hot-weather shirt sleeves into a grey suitcoat, seemingly new. Not new, said he: the suit was at least a year old. Whereupon he peeked at a label, amazedly announced that the suit was bought in 1936. Then he amazed the correspondents.

At any rate, not pragmatically, although I could not venture to appraise...
