Jazz Service At Cathedral
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, May 21. A guitar-strumming canon led 500 teenagers in a swinging service at London's ancient Southwark Cathedral last night, the “Daily Sketch” said. Youths tapped out a beat with winklepicker shoes as the Rev. E. Blake struck up a hymn to the tune of “They’ll Be Cornin’ Round the Mountain.” A jazz quartet attended the service, the newspaper said. They played old hymns to new arrangements written by the Canon. The Rev. Patrick Appleby, who conducted the service, introduced one hymn as a “propaganda jingle.”
