DUNCE PURE, JAZZ VILE
VIENNA, March 10. (JP)—Austrian
Bishops have declared modem dances
pure and innocent but .held that jazz
is vile.
Therefore, their flocks are free to
dance the Charleston to the slow
strains of the Viennese Waltz, or
do the Black Bottom to the dreamy
tunes of Vienna orchestras.
But “Hot Mamma” and “You Charl
eston Man” come under the heading
of music which the Bishops at their
1927 Conference found “baneful.”
Therefore it cannot be performed
frith the sanction of the church.
John C. F. Schwengler, fur buyer,
who has made several visits in this
