DANCING FASHIONS
MINIMUM OF EXEETfON SLOW TUNES PREFERRED LONDON, Nov. 10. “Dancing is .becoming lazier,” declares Jack Payne, the founder of the British Broadcasting Corporation’s dance band. “The public wants amusement with a minimum of exertion, and mostly desires slow t lilies of the blues and foxtrot type. These must not be melancholy or mushy, but leisurely, happy, haunting melodies like “Auf Wietlersohen. ’
“(Syncopated music is unfashionable, but a few good tunes, full of pep, like, “Mona,’ make headway. “Thank heaven, jazz is .dead. “A fortune awaits the composer of a big bit, like the Charleston, but there are no present signs of anything original setting another style of dancing. Eccentric rhythm is insufficient. .1 lmvc rejected many because the public won’t trouble to learn.”
