By ARNOLD S. DANIELS
It is the custom of interviewers al-
ways to ask their victims the most
obvious questions first, and so, when
we had cornered jovial Earl Hines,
we started things rolling by asking
how he got into the habit of bellow-
ing "Father Hines, Father Hines" at
the top of his voice when his music
reachedothe boiling point, as it so
often does.
Well, the lightning-fingered Mr.
Hines was very, very reticent. I
seems that there is no logical foun-
dation for the practice.
"Just started doing it, that's all."
And that was all the accounting he
would give for what has become his
trade mark. To summarize his state-
ments, it is just a natural jubilation
when the music reaches a high and
fevered tempo. Those fingers which
have brought him fame and the
honor and respect of the profession,
by the way, are insured for the stag-
gering sum of $400,000.
Started At 14
His piano solos are one of the big
reasons why his orchestrahas become
one of the leading exponents of
swing music. And he started playing
the piano young; in fact, at the age
of 14, he was playing with a band,
and three years later he had an or-
chestra of his own.
Asrhas been the custom at recent
J-Hops, the two bands presented are
of rather different types. And so,
when we questioned George Olson, it
was mainly with the intention of
finding out what makes his band dif-
ferent from others.
This is his theory: First, the
rhythm is hidden in the melody,
which literally lifts one up and car-
ries one away. It is difficult to tire
of dancing to this sort of music. He
also added that he specializes in
music in tone color, that is, the ac-
centuating of rhythm without defi-
nite beats so that it is presented
subtly, in such a way that the lis-
tener is scarcely aware of it.
And that is the secret of "The
Music of Tomorow. e
Aitended University
Mr. Olson was particularly happy
to play here, he said, since he at-
tended the University in 1913-14, and
is a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fra-
ternity here. His record is an im-
pressive one, including engagements
at the Ambassador Hotel, Los An-
geles, the New Yorker, the Edgewater
Beach and the Hotel Sherman in
Chicago. And in spite of the fame
which has been his since leaving the
University, Mr. Olson confesses to a
twinge of sentiment on returning. He
will spend much time during his stay
in town at his fraternity house.
Snow Train Leaves
For Cadillac Feb. 21
A snow train to Cadillac, Mich., will
leave Ann Arbor early Sunday morn-
ing, Feb. 21, Frederick Randall, Ann
Arbor travel agent, said yesterday.
The train will take all interested
in winter sports to a day of tobog-
ganing, skating, skiing, and bobsled-
ding and return late Sunday night,
Randall said.
He pointed out that this is the
first time such a trip has been ar-
ranged from Ann Arbor but indicated
that if as much success is had with
this as with the several trips that
have originated in Detroit, it will be
followed by others.
