over the strains he calls “America's
real folk music.” Nine years ago,
Whiteman formed nn orchcstia which
took its audiences by storm and has
since made a youngei generation into
lovers of symphonic rag-time.
Much of Whiteman’s success is due
to the fact that he has a complete
staff of composers turning out chord
after chord of mtiicate rythms foi
his band. Because of Ins ability in
gntheiing together such talented mus
icians and his inherent powers of mus
ical direction, he has become the idol
of the men of Ins oichcstra and the
people who hear that oichcstra per
foim
Paul Whiteman is called “the most
cnitooncd man in Amcnca ” Accord
ing to his idea, this is not because of
his ability as a director, as a fiddler,
or as a judge of harmony*—he says
that all a cortoonibt must do to put
“Paul on paper” is to draw a big, fat
cjrcld, slightly pressed at the sides,
use two diops of ink for eyes and
make an elongated blot for a mus
tache.
