Dear Miss Tinée: A gentle admirer expressed a wish in THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE for better music.
May I not voice the same opinion and scream it from the house tops? If they must make a jazz palace of the theaters, why not provide dance space, also, that we are not forced to sit like wooden images and "suffer" our feet to remain quiet?
Is it comfortable, I ask you?
Certainly music has power to control our emotions, so why not listen to music that prompts beautiful thoughts and quickens our impulses toward sane activities? This is not possible after two hours of the so-called "jazz king's" sensuous rendition.
Thanks to the radio, at least we can turn to New York, but isn't it a shame our own stations are engaging dance bands?
Thanks, Miss Tinee, for this privilege. Won't you let us hear if there are other anxious hearts?
