HEN you figure this life that we're living It's a question of mere getting breath We are here for a time For no reason or rhyme And the future holds nothing but death. Idiotic, isn't it?

If you save all you earn you're a miser If you spend all you earn you're a joke In the struggle for wealth You acquire bad health Still the doctors can't live if you're broke. Idiotic, isn't it?

You give pain to someone when you're brought here You're in pain when you bid life goodbye Though it's all of no use You attempt to produce Someone else who will soon have to die. Idiotic, isn't it?

When you're single you feel you should marry When you're married you want to be free Oh, I waste all my life Being mean to my wife And she's doing the same thing for me. Idiotic, isn't it?

When a working man works till he's tired He goes in a saloon for his ale Then some Congressman fine, With his house stocked with wine Says "No beer or you'll go off to jail." Idiotic, isn't it?

  WO years ago, "a fellow named Fuller" was an orchestra drummer playing in one of the big hotels in New York.

Today Earl Fuller has a luxurious office at 1604 Broadway, New York, where he directs the booking of his many orchestras and instrumental organizations which are everywhere—Earl Fuller's Orchestras, Earl Fuller's Jazz Bands, Earl Fuller's All Star Bands and so on. His fame as an orchestra organizer and originator has spread over the country faster than the Bolshevik movement through Russia. At Rector's he has set the standard of music for New York.

Much of Mr. Fuller's time is devoted to directing his orchestras in making those wonderful and unique jazz records for the Victor, Columbia and Emerson records which are played on hundreds of thousands of phonographs all over the world. As a director, a man of exceptional business acumen and a composer of great ability, he is probably the best known orchestra leader in the country, and he rightly claims that his organizations are originations.
