HARD TO FORGIVE
CERTAIN JAZZ REFRAINS CLERGYMAN'S OPINION SYDNEY. Feb. 17 According to tho Rev. N. C. Goss, of the Croydon Congregational Church, lawumowers, saws and factory whistles are needed to give modern jazz its proper interpretation. Vocal refraius set to jazz tunes, he says, " are an upsurge of barbarism*" Vocal refrains of the silliest and sloppiest sentiment, sung by men and women with voices which recall a disorganised concertina, are hard to forgive.
