Sir-So H. E. Lawrence has studied the "angry cries of baboons and apes," and the craniums of swing bandsmen? Well, well. I can just picture him poking with a stick the unoffending ape at the -Z00 and then noting the resulting chords in his little notebook. As .for the craniums of the bandsmen and _ bandleaders, if he should happen to know by sight, say Messrs. James, Goodman, Dorsey, and Shaw, he would feel a trifle silly at making such inane observations. The views on swing of Stokowski, Lorand, and Elman would give H.E.L. some food for thought. They happen
to be not altogether unknown musicians who can appreciate more than one type of music. I believe the waltzes of Strauss were, at the time of composition, considered "not quite the thing."
