What Paul Ash is going to do with- out his little playmate and humor spe- cialist, Al Kvale, is a problem that no one has asked me to solve, nor are they likely to, nor am I going to try-- publicly. But I have a right to won- der what he (Paul Ash) is thinking about now and to worry over his trou- bles if I want to as long as I don't tell about it. Which is to say that I think Al is quite the natural born "fool," if you'll pardon the expression, and a something that Paul Ash going to have a hard time replacing. Some time ago I remarked that I would be surprised if Al didn't start a band of his own before he had reached the time in life when expansion is in circumference and not toward the stars. Of course I didn't know that B. and K. had the same thing in mind and I was quite pleased when they an- is SIXTEEN HUNDRED Hinman Ave. A few apartments still available in this beautiful building. Large, light rooms-- me- chanical refrigeration -- garage in connection -- maid service by the hour, if desired. Investigate Now Rentals Reasonable Renting Office on Premises 1610 Hinman Avenue 1st Entrance--North Wing ee -- nounced that they agreed with me. Which is to say "Welcome Al"! While I'm worrying over "certain things"--which I can't tell you about for fear you'd tell Paul--I might com- ment on Al's past, present and his probable future. Of course you know that I'm not a soothsayer or a crystal gazer, so don't expect too much on the future. And I have a poor memory so don't expect too much on the past. And the present is in the process of occurring, so don't expect too much on that. Al is a clarinet blowing clown, and being such a such himself, there are naturally some other clowns along with him in his "Jazz Collegians" at the Norshore. The muse of history, who is supposed to know all things, etc, tells me that Al has not only played with Paul Ash but has also conducted his own dance orchestra at one of the leading cafes on the south side of Chi- cago and that when it comes to orches- tration you'll have to wear out a pair of shoes to find a whicher. Al should go over at the Norshore like a--oh well, you can finish it. Ernest Woodward is the new lead- ing man who will appear in the Ev- anston Stock company's productions at the New Evanston theater in the new season. He has acted in many shows in Philadelphia and comes here to head the casts of the attractions planned for the second stock company season at the New Evanston under the management of Clyde E. Elliot. Blackstone Loses a Successor; Jazz Gains a Humorist Lowly jazz nipped another budding Blackstone in the bud when Al Kvale, popular clarinetist of Paul Ash's band, picked up the baton at the Norshore theater to lead his own orchestra. Al is the son of O. J. Kvale, U. S. congressman from Minnesota, and father's fond hope was that his son succeed him in Congress some day. Fate decreed otherwise, however, for Al found the crooning of a saxophone much sweeter than the harangues of Blackstone, and after studying law for two years, left to try his hand in the business of jazz. "I'd rather he be a good jazz band leader than a bad lawyer," says Con- gressman Kvale. "Otto Kahn is right. Boys will have their own way in this day and age and parental interference is a mistake. If he must be a jazz musician I at least hope that he makes a good one." "This is great sport and the most remunerative I can think of," says Al. "I enjoy every minute of it and the audience seems to enjoy it as much as I do. Jazz may not be as dignified as law but it sure beats any- thing as a combination of fun and money. Look at Paul Ash. He has a great time every time he's on the stage and earns a bigger salary every month than my father gets all year. Besides, he makes one hundred thou- sand people happy each week.
