Jimmie Lunceford Band. The 26th edition has more talent than you can shake a stick at. Lena Horne a very pleasing ingenue; Butterbeans and Susie, Mantan and Juano Hernandez comedians. Nina Mae McKinney; the soubretting of Cora LaRedd; the legomania of Cook and Brown; the dancing of the 3 Rhythm Queens.

Myrtle Quinland, a former Blackbirds chorine, is in the Cotton Club ensemble and she does the truckinest Truckin' I have ever seen.
