"IF I WERE KING"
Sir,-Do you know what I would do if I had the power? I would cut out all jazz ("nigger music" would not be my way of improving the public’s musical taste). Then I would put the crooners in their proper place-outside the uni-verse-crooning being, in my opinion, the most distressing and soul-destroying form of "music" ever invented. And, thirdly, I would teach all announcers not to talk about "this morning at 10 a.m." or "to-night at 8 p.m." Some time ago this came over the air: "To-night at R20 nm. thie evenine" Mhait’a all far
the present
