Some were hot. They| | featured the rhumba, swing or some- | thing else. The jitterbugs liked 'em big ard loud. All this time Kassel followed a formula. He avoided extremes. He held to an “easy rhythm.” “I like to play to the ordinary| |dancers,” he explains. “I try to play M ;the way they want to dance.” Bad luck pushed Kassel into a leader’s role. “I walked around Chicago for nine rrontha with a clarinet under my arm,” he recalls. “Nobody gave me a job, so I organized a band.” That was in 1923. His first engaze- ment was at the Midway Gardens Kassel put away his favorite in- in his career. He hired.an unknown kid named Benny Goodman. “I listened to him play that clari- net,” he says. “I shifted to the sax- ophone.” If you live in any one of several hundred places in the United Sta- tes you may have seen Kassel and' his “Kassels in the Air"—a group name bestowed by Jimmy McPart- land, a young man who went places (with a horn. Kassel, now observing his 25th anniversary at Chicago’s Blackhawk night club, has performed in every state except New Mexico. He and his troupe leave the big cities in May and ramble until October. They average 15,000 miles. “It's a rugged, but rewarding life. Sometimes it gets a little confusing. Kassel took a quick glance at me typed ittherary one day last sum. mer.

He figures the future this way: “As long as guys like to put their arms around gals, there’ll be danc- ing. As long as there is dancing, there’l! be bands.” ALASKA COASTAL PICTURES T BE SHOWN TONIGHT A shift was announced this af- ternoon and the pictures will be shown in the third floor study hall of the High School, entrances on Main or Seward Streets.
