If you haw n't then prepare to form the new ideas of how truly beautiful, varied, color ful and brilliant the modern jazz dance music 'can be. In music such as this. Herb Wie- doeft is said to achieve the lmpos-H sible: he delights the highbrow, the middle and low! And when mu sic achieves this universality, it must indeed be very great art. Twenty years of Intensive study in all forms of legitimate and sym phonic music is the foundation back of this popular jazz orches tra. Not that the members of Herb's band are old men, bat the fact that Wledoeft, himself, was schooled in a treasury of melody for that oeriod of time. It is said that nothing can explain the hold which Wledoeft rhythm has upon the dancer and the American ball room audiences any more than one cannot explain the delights that music Itself is unsolved. Herb Wledoeft and his orches tra have been the big feature at traction in Seattle the past winter season. They were brought up from the south to open the beautiful Trianon ballroom, of. which there is no finer on this coast. Last month was an exception ally busy one for all in the Wle doeft organization the making of 20 new phonograph records for early release is no small item mu sically. On top of this comes the road preparations for his annual summer dance tour. After visits in most of the Pacific coast cities. Herb is going east for the latter part of the heated period that the Metropolitan centers may know we Schindler's ballroom is slated to have a capacity "house" tonight for . Wiedoeft and his famous Brunswick orchestra will be the syncopation dispensers. Wiedoeft's orchestra is synonymous with real dancing, and those dancers who like to step to good music will not be apt to let such an opportunity pass without taking advantage of it. There's one other thing that will make tonight's dance a pleasur able one: the fact that It is held it Schindler's. Schindler's is one )f the newer ballrooms In this vi cinity, having been completed on y about a year ago. It is owned by 3chindler brothers, who have given much thought to the building and development of their ball room. The increased popularity which it is enjoying attests the patrons' an- proval of their work. It is in Polk county, wo miles from Salem. .!
