Zoo Summer Operas To Be Aired On WLW- NBC Broadcasts from Cincinnati Zoo Pat and Buddy Fifteen Operas To Be

Presented During Season

Three broadcasts weekly from the Cincinnati Zoo are included in the new WSAI "Young Cincinnatians" program at 11:00 a. m. (E.S.T.), daily except Saturday and Sunday. Pictured above are children being interviewed by Bill Brown, WSAI "Young Cin-cinnatians" announcer at the Zoo. Above, Brown is explaining the new snake house to Ruby Curtis, 2657 Duck Creek road. They are looking at some pythons. Below, John Koepf, of the Cincinnati Post looks on while Brown interviews a group of children about Bizzy Bear and his five sisters, recent contributions to the Zoo by the Post. In the picture, left to right, are Koepf, John and Jeff Ward of Pikeville, Ky., Shirley Root, Norwood, O., Neal Hesche, Donny Griffith, Katherine Ann and Johnny Bailey, all of Cincinnati, and Announcer Brown, broadcasting from the WSAI Mobile Unit. The Zoo broadcasts are heard Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Wednesdays the Mobile Unit visits a play-ground and on Fridays the program originates at the Catholic Youth Organization baseball clinic for boys.

Woman Proves It Can Be Done

Mrs. Ora Snyder took a cup of sugar and an egg and trans-formed them into one of the largest retail candy businesses in America because she refused to believe that it "couldn't be done." She is shown here with Edgar A. Guest, household poet, as she appeared with him on one of his Tuesday night broadcasts over the NBC-Blue network, including WLW, KDKA and WLS at 7:30 p. m. (E.S.T.).

World Famous Artists To Sing Leading Roles

Cincinnati's sixteenth consecutive season of summer opera will open in

its traditional setting in the Zoo Opera House, Sunday, June 27, with the performance of Verdi's "Aida." It

has always been the pride of the sum-mer opera organization that the sett-

ing in which their productions are offered is rated as one of the loveliest sylvan settings available for operatic

performances.

Fifteen of the world's most dearly loved operas will be presented during the six-week season. Arrangements are being completed whereby six of the operas will be broadcast over

WLW and the NBC-Blue network. Four of these broadcasts will be heard

from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. (E.S.T.)

on July 17, 24, 31 and August 7.

Dates for the other two will be an-nounced later. The list of operas to be presented is as follows: Aida, Tannhauser, Double Bill of Pagliacci

and Secrets of Suzanne, Double Bill of Cavalleria Rusticana and Secrets

of Suzanne, Boehme, Barber of Seville, Madame Butterfly, Trovatore, Mig-non, Lucia di Lammermoor, Tosca, Lohengrin, Faust and Carmen.

Many of the finest singers from the great opera houses of the world, including the Metropolitan in New York and La Scala in Milan, will sing the leading roles. Included among the singers are Rosemary Brancato, Fidelia Camigna, Rosa Di Giulio, Vir-ginia Johnson Brier, Wright Stollar and Rose Tentone, sopranos; Jose De

Giviria, Rolf Gerard, Harold Lindi, Dimitri Onofrei and Armand Tokat-

The songs and piano numbers of Pat O'Malley are heard over WCKY every morning, Monday through Friday, at 10:30 a. m. (E.S.T.), with Buddy Spenlen assisting at the guitar. The candid cameraman caught Pat and Buddy during one of their broad-casts. O'Malley is a radio iimgran of seven years, with success-ful engagements on southern stations, including WSB and WBT, to his credit.

"Ken-Rad Unsolved Mysteries"

Dr. Ken-Rad, radio's ace sleuth, has been called upon to solve many

tmsteries, but none so baffling as the one that will confront him June 27 when he is called in to solve the mystery death or a pretty artist's model, during the "Ken-Rad Unsolved Mysteries," over WLW, 9:30 to 10:00 p. m. (E.S.T.).

The story, written by Lawrence Menkin, of the WLW continuity staff, has to do with an attractive model who is in financial straits. Pressed by collectors for bills she has been unable to meet, the model is found dead from a bullet wound. From all appearances she has com-mitted suicide, but when Dr. Ken-Rad arrives at the scene he discovers minuté clues that eventually lead to the unraveling of one of the most

mysterious murders in the history of

the "Ken-Rad Unsolved Mysteries" programs.

Many are favorites of pre-vious years, while the newcomers come to Cincinnati fr9m triumphs in other great opera centers.

The pavillion has been enlarged and seat prices have been reduced so that tickets will range in price from 25e to $1.50. There will be no ad-mission charge to the Zoo as formerly.

and fashions during her broadcast

with those great outdoor men, George

Burns, Ray Noble and Tony Martin,

over the NBC-Red network, including

WLW, Monday, June 28, at 7:00

p. m. (E.S.T.). Having heard about

mouiltain ridges beneath the sum face

of the Pacific, Gracie wants to open

a resort on one for people who can't

decide between tile mountains and

the sea for a vacation.

GOLDMAN BAND IN SERIES OF

NBC CONCERTS Those who enjoy music will find

their prayers answered with the an-nouncement that Edwin Franko Gold-man will conduct a series of 16 broad-casts, featuring his famous band, over WCKY and the NBC network, begin-ning this week and closing August 15. The • concerts, from the Mall in

the, Daniel Guggenheim Memorial Fund.

over present New York key stations of NBC.

fulfill her film engagements, the show will originate from Hollywood.

Parker's first program will be heard on Wednesday, June 30, and Miss Faye's on Friday, July 2.

THE BOOM IN THE BARD Anyone who follows this thing we call radio has to be prepared for

anything. Its moods are unpredictable. Its caprices have no pattern. But if someone had wagered a year ago that the summer of 1937 would find Shakespeare's plays featured on the air, he would have had eager takers. The odds against any such prediction coming true would have made it easy money.

Well, it has come true. As this is being written the Bard of Avdn is getting top billing in radio drama. NBC has already launched a six-weeks series of "stream-lined Shakespeare" featuring John Barrymore. July 12 CBS will open eight weeks of the "first multiple star Shakespeare" on the air. More than that, the rival networks are supporting their productions with a barrage of high-power publicity.

Listeners who know their way about the kilocycles can scarcely be blamed, for being a little startled by all this. Indeed, the cynics may be pardoned for getting it with satirical chuckles.

Not that Shakespeare is a complete stranger to the air. NBC points proudly to 70 previous performances. But compared in particular with the sort of draina that occupies most of the day-time air the Bard is not typical radio fare. Certainly he has never before been .the object of such keen competition. Neither bave his plays usually been aired in popular even-ing spots.

Why then the sudden enthusiasm of radio for Shakespeare? The explanation is not hard to find. Last winter New York witnessed a

remarkable Shakespearian revival, that was both an artistic and financial success. John Gielgud especially "packed them in."

Always alert to what is popular in the theater, the broadcasters reasoned that if people would pay to see Shakespeare they might also listen to him in considerable numbers. So they proceeded to make their plans for the summer.

Neither is featuring Shakespeare on the air as inconsistent as it seems at first glance. While his plays are in sharp contrast with mine-run radio drama, the same contrast can be found in broadcast music. Along with the cheap and drearily monotonous tunes that occupy most broadcasting hours, there are also programs of the world's finest music. The point is that most of the latter are sustaining programs, whereas commercials offer most of the other sort.

So the broadcasters themselves are really consistent in featuring Shakes-peare. As in the case of superior music and important talks on national issues, they are offering something the average sponsor would not. This supplementing and broadening of appeal is one of the things that help to keep radio alive.

What will be the artistic effect of featuring the Bard on the air? It is too soon to answer that. But in view of what the better sort of radio drama is already doing the outlook is decidedly hopeful.

Shakespeare may even make radio an art as well as a business. And that indeed would be something.

TOMMY DORSEY'S BAND HEADS PEARL SUMMER SHOW, NBC Tommy Dorsey, whose phenomenal

rise in popularity during the past year has astounded musicians, the listening public and the nation's army of radio editors, will command the Jack Pearl show (NBC-Blue network, including WCKY, KDKA and WLS, Fridays, 9:00 p. m. (E.S.T.) after the come-dian has left for his vacation upon completion of the June 25 program.

Both in the field of radio, and of phonograph recordings, Tommy Dor-sey has skyrocketed to fame and popu-larity in the last twelve months.

JANE GREY

Jane Grey, featured artist on the "Radio Program Perfect," has a natu-ralness and sincerity which is instantly appreciated by her listeners. Her ad-vice and philosophy of life is bringing comfort and peace to many. The program is not a religious one,

but carries a great spiritual strength. Jane Grey calls her logic of life by no name. "What I speak of and teach is not a faith in belief. It is knowl-edge. There is a great difference between believing a thing to be true and knowing it is so. I know." The "Radio Program Perfect" is

sponsored by the Kampf Jewelry Com-pany and is heard over WSAI, Wed-nesdays and Fridays at 12:15 p. m. (E.S.T.).

Irene Rich, NBC actress, calls this a -compromise coiffure"— bobbed hair brushed back from the face and dressed to look as if it is long. Gives you that cool, calm and collected feeling, says Irene. She is heard over the NBC-Blue network, including WCKY, KDKA, WLS, and WSM, Fridays at 7:00 p. m. (E.S.T.).

LIEDERSINGERS IN NEW PROGRAM SERIES OVER NBC

Quartets of German "lieder" and

French "chansons," seldom heard in

the original form, are being given in

a new series of programs by the

Liedersingers every Friday at 9:30

p.m. (E.S.T.) over WCKY and the

NBC network. Members of the group

are Carol Deis, soprano; Celia Branz,

contralto; George Rasely, tenor, and

Alden Elkins, bass.

The songs always strike a responsive

chord in listeners because of their

melodious character and easy compre-

hensibility. Composed to the lyrics of

the great poets of Germany and

France, the music of such masters of the "Lied" form as Schubert, Brahms and Schumann enriches the universal sentiments expressed in the poetic in-spirations.

Versatile Von Zell

Harry Von Zell, talented announc-er, who takes over the Phil Baker programs as master-of-cere-monies over a WABC-Columbia network, each Sunday night, from 6:30 to 7 p. m. (E.S.T.), beginning July 4. During Phil's trip to Hollywood

where he will be engaged in motion

picture work, Harry will present a

variety of guest stars and music by

Oscar Bradley's orchestra.

Radio aliases do not confuse Elsie

Hitz and Nick Dawson of the NBC

Follow the Moon daily feature. They

answer as readily to those names as

to their real ones, Jean and Clay.

Columbia Series Sched-uled to Begin July 12

With very little advance notice,

John Barrymore has begun a series

of radio performances of Shakes-

pearean rolé's over the NBC network,

a weekly broadcast which bids fair

to be one of the outstanding features

of summer radio.

Following "Hamlet," which was

presented June 21, Barrymore will be

heard in "Macbeth," "King Lear,"

"Richard the Second," and either

"Winter's Tale" or "Cymbelline." All of the broadcasts will be heard

over WCKY in the Cincinnati area, from 8:30 to 9:15 p. m. (E.S.T.), and it is hoped, if sufficient response from listeners is received, to extend the series beyond the six weeks scheduled. The Columbia Broadcasting Sys-

tem's anounced cycle of Shakespearean dramas, which will present today's foremost stars in fresh interpretations of the classic roles which will be car-ried by the largest group of stations ever linked for a series of sustaining features on the Columbia network.

After weeks of co-operative effort to clear nation-wide presentation, nine-ty-three stations have notified William S. Paley, president of CBS, that they have arranged their local schedules to carry radio's first multiple-star Shakespearean series. It consists of eight plays, to be portrayed by lead-ers of the modern stage and screen, each Monday, beginning July 12, from 8:00 to 9:00 p. m. (E.S.T.) WKRC will be the local outlet for

the Columbia presentations.

SWIFT() MORZA CARNIVAL FROM POLAND ON NBC

(E.S.T.), daily except Sunday, Thursday and Saturday over WLW and the WLW Line, Scripter Sid Cornell, left, kills him-self laughing. "Oh wotta headache," screamed Dameron as he and Slater did a gag-about a baseball player. "Oh, watta laugh," snorted Cornell, who with Latham Ovens, writes the "Variety Time" script. Ovens passed out from laughing too hard at his own gags, just before this picture was snapped, Seriously, "Variety Time" offers the listener a quarter hour of varied entertainment.

They Met Before

A great movie team will be re-united on the air when Sonja Henie becomes Don Amechea guest on the Chase and Sanborn Hour (NBC-Red network, in-cluding WLW and WSM, Sun-days at 7:00 p. m. E.S.T.) on Sunday, June 27. The blonde Norwegian skater with the broad smile made a hit on the screen on the screen in "One in a Million." and in the cast with her was Don Ameche.

RADIO STARS ENTERTAIN AT LOOKOUT HOUSE

CONTE

ésr The Cent

'HAROLD ZEIGLER lives in Cin-

cinnati, but more than that Mr. Zeigler is fast becoming a figure in contesting. His record for the past year was such that it gave him Hon-orable Mention in this year's All-America Contest Team and our pre-diction is that it will come much higher next time. What we are coming to is this.

Harold Zeigler wrote an article for the July Nuggets Monthly under the subject "Cash in on Ideas". We'll have to admit that the article in its entirety is not directed expressly to contest fans, but on the other hand we think that you will admit the por-tion we are about to quote is thought-provoking nevertheless. He says "Writing articles, stories,

interviews, or items is hard work at its easiest, and preparing contest en-tries is equally as arduous. The suc-cess of either depends not merely on the time or the effort put into it, nor its merit. as material, but rather how it compares with the competition, and, as you know—the competition is always keen. "To better your chances for checks

or prizes, it is almost necessary to get the jump on the field, as it were. To get this jump necessitates a constant search for material, or rather ideas that have to have some degree of originality if they are to be recog-nized.

"Naturally, ideas of this nature are far removed from the beaten path, and the manner in which you submit these ideas also makes a world of dif-ference in their final disposal—if any."

You are quite right—Mr. Zeigler.

If we continued the quotation it would carry us more into the strictly writing field, so we have used just enough to focus your attention on an important element in the oaniesting field.

This may be a rather crude illus-tration, but your reporter was reared on the farm and often went out to pick berries and other wild fruits in their season. The beaten path was by far the easiest path to travel but it usually carried him home with the fewest returns of the trip. But, a venture into fields and growths where paths had to be made was more worth while. The fruit was larger, better quality and the competition was not se heavy.

Those who have the courage and daring to forsake the beaten path are more than paid for this extra effort, whereas, those who follow it wonder why they have so little suc-cess for the amount of effort ex-pended.

Be different—drastically so, and if something occurs to you that may be a bit out of the ordinary don't for-get it—and don't forsake it. Mr. Zeigler gives several illustrations of

CLUB

est Reporter

what has taken place, and on second thought we hope you have an op-portunity to read the entire article. Maybe we are wrong about it not applying expressly to contest fans. Read the contest magazines, the

advertisements, the winning entries, etc., but try to say and do something they didn't. When a contest outsteps all others

in size as did Old Gold, people just can't quit talking about it. It's news to the layman as well as to the ex-pert. TIDE (for the advertising trade) devotes over a page in the June 1st issue. For the most part, the information carried is well known to contest fans, but two items we don't think are. One is that only one person knows

the correct answers to the series. After the answers were finally decided on and selected they were sealed and locked in a vault at the National City Bank in New York. It will not be opened until all entries are in and filed.

Another is that the gentleman who knows all the answers examined some fifteen of the "sold" answers and not one of them was correct. We under-stand they were peddled from 10e to a $1. We doubt if any of the sellers were brazen enough to claim they had the correct answers, but at the same time we are constrained to feel that many contestants placed too much confidence in them. The Propellor Club have announced

the winners of their sea trip contest for high school students-13 of them. Also, the winners in the Dodge "Used Car and Truck" contest have been paid off but we have not seen a pub-lished list of the names. The prizes ranged from $5,000 down to $50. The Ivory Soap Flakes contest is past the midway—they will close July 3rd. Five prizes of $1,000 and 1,250 other prizes (silk stockings) are given weekly.

"Voice of Tolerance"

The Fair Play Radio League's "Voice of Tolerance" wil be heard on the WABC-Columbia network, including WKRC, WHAS and WJR, Sunday, June 27, from 12:30 to

12:45 p. m. (E.S.T.), discussing "The Voices of the World."

The Fair Play Radio League is a non-sectarian organization devoted to the promotion of world-wide religious freedom and tolerance. The "Voice of Tolerance" is Rabbi William F.

• \\ RADIO FAVORITES SHOOTING AND SHOT Al 3 Y T H E AS

Out to Castle Farm last week-end for a bit of dancing and a chat with Henry Busse. The Farm is Busses old stamping grounds .... just a few years back he was tooting his "Hot Lips" there night after night. When he left the Farm for Chicago he was on the way up. And his CBS airings from the Chez Paree in the Windy City have marked his as one of the foremost bands in the business. Henry's a peach of an M. C., too. You'd like his blonde swingstress . . Edith Lane . . . swell looker and a nice voice.

• Advance reports indicate the

battle of the century will be aired this summer. No ... not the Brad-dock-Louis fight of the other eve . . . . but a battle between CBS and NBC over . . . you'll never guess this one ... SHAKESPEARE. It all began when CBS announced they would air eight of the bard's most famous plays this summer. comes now an announcement that NBC will counter with six Shakes-penan productions of its own. And, of course, they'll run during ap-proximately the same weeks. . . . It's a good guess that Burgess Meredith of "Winterset" fame will star for CBS while John Barrymore will headline for NBC.

• If all the miles Paul Sullivan

traveled last week were laid end to end they'd ... well . . . they'd be a lot. Paul spent the week-end in Indianapolis, appearing with the WLW Review there. Sunday he rushed to New York to rehearse and air the "For Men Only" show on Monday night. Tuesday a. m. he airplaned back to Cincy for his spot on the Hits of the Week broadcast on WKRC and WSAI. Add to that Paul's two regular news broadcasts each day and you have a mighty busy week. Guess he's getting used to it, though.

Rather belated congrats to WCKY which is soon to enjoy a watt-jump to 10,000. And some say it won't be long before the Covington station is in the 50,000-watt class.

• THUMBS UP: Better make it at

least two thumbs up for the "Mad Hatterfields" . . . a smooth new script show aired nightly on WLW. It's smartly written, well directed and competently acted. You'll like it. Thumbs up as well for WKRC's new announcer, Lin Mason.

• ALONG THE MILKY WAY: A

bevy of radio folk at the Latonia Derby . . . among others, L. B. "Of course, this is with gum in my mouth!"

TR 0 N 0 ME R

Wilson, 'CKY's prexy; John Mc-Cormick, 'KRC's general manager; Bob Kennett and Frank Smith of 'LW; Ruth Lyons, Dick Bray, Lee Goldsmith, Frank Zwygart and Gladys Lee. . In the mail . .. a brief word from Durward Kirby, now spieling for NBC in Chicago. WKRC staff all a-shiver, now that the air conditioning has been turned on in the new studios and offices. Jack Edmunds, WLW pro-duction man, vacationing. And after a listen to "Sports Parade" on WSAI, came this ... "A brave man is this Nixon Denton; an air career he's really bent on." Well, maybe it's the weather. Harold Carr is just as genial off the air as on. Dick Bray and an attractive Miss waltzing it at Castle Farm. The new WCPO newsroom now in operation on Walnut Street and doing a bang up job. Rumor has it "Freshest Thing in Town" show will fold during July and August . . . with return booked for Sep-tember. Bill Seymour, WKRC's newsroom editor, related to the Marx Brothers. Smilin' Dan back on the hill top station . . . taking over the Bell and Crown broad-casts periods.

More star shooting with the astronomer . . . next week. And, as usual, more peeps at people. THEME UP AND OUT.

It didn't take long for Edgar Bergen and W. C. Fields to strike a friend-ship at the NBC Hollywood studios, even though Bergen's dummy made the famous minstrel conscious of his "redwood" nose. Fields, confessed Bergen, was always his favorite come-dian. "That's funny," said W. C., "Bergen was always my favorite ven-triloquist."

QUESTIONS AND

ANSWERS

By RALPH SIMPSON

RADIO DIAL'S "RADIO SLEUTH"

W E have many and varied ques-tions to be answered in this

week's column. Mrs. Janes, of Knox-ville, Tenn., wants to know how to get her favorite announcer, Douglas Browning, back on the Top of the Morning spot. You're not alone in Your desire, Mrs. Janes, for others feel the same way, but in this case

Mr. Browning asked for the evening hours in order to get acquainted with a new group of listeners. Then, too, getting up at 5 a. m. day after day, to do brain work, is a bit of a task for anyone to keep up for any length of time. You might try writing direct to him—I imagine his new audience will have a word to say about losing him now. He gets to be a favorite

anywhere. - Mrs. H. P. Cook: The mailing ad-

dress of Vincent Lopez is in care of NBC, New York City. "Kentucky Reader": Jan Carber's

orchestra is now playing the popular hotels and one-night stands. Except for your radio pages and program schedules, there is not much chance of keeping up with any band.

Mrs. jasinsky: You were right—my memory is bad. Your card strikes a familiar note in my hazy recollection, although somehow I can't get the

right pitch. In regard to your ques-tion—Johanna Grosse is living here in Cincinnati, although not engaged in radio work. I saw her a week or so ago, and she says she is very happy just to teach organ, with occasional

church work.

Mrs. Thomas: The Street Singer has almost seemed to drop from the public's eye. His last appearance was over the Mutual Network. I sugest you try WGN--Chicago.

So many friends have inquired

about the old Rhythm Jesters, who furnished the music and sang on the

GET WEIGHED

14

"Cousin Bob and His Kinfolks'' pro gram, conducted a year or so ago by Bob Albright, that I have done some fancy sleuthing of a de luxe type to get all the answers. Even stream-lined the system in order to bring home the bacon in time for this week's column. With the mention of streamlined, might I add "Look Out, Fields and Hall," or to my close

friends, "Simpson is the name," or "Shake." Well, here is the answer. The Rh thin Jesters were Art Ryer-

son, Terry Lynch, Eddie Burnbryer, Johnny Fielden, Gladys Lee, and their leader, Lee Baldwin. The two latter are in Cincinnati. Gladys Lee, pianist and arranger at WKRC. Lee Bald-win, a vocal arranger for the Nation's Station. Art Ryerson, noted for his outstanding guitar interpolations, went to Chicago, but is now with Terry

former team-mate and guitar-ist, in his own right. They are play-ing night spots in New York City. Eddie Burnbryer writes and edits continuity at NBC in Chicago. Johnny Fielden played accordion for a time with Ted Travers' orchestra at Old Vienna here in the Queen City. He soon formed his own band and is reportedly doing fine.

Miss Gerard: Bradley Kincaid— "The Kentucky Mountain Boy"—is heard Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:30 p. m.(E.S.T.) from WGY, Schenectady, N. Y. His Thursday broadcast is 6:15 in the evening.

The birthdays for this week have a

two fisted significance. First, in the case of Harold Carr, whom we told you about a week ago. It turns out that Charlie Dameron, popular WLW tenor, also has a birthday, June 29th. In fact, they were born just a half hour apart, but in different parts of

the country. Harold refused to give his age, but Charlie says he was born in 1906. Hi, Harold!

The other comes on July 17th, which marks the 100th broadcast of Capt. Alfred Gus Karger, beZdes be-ing the actual birthday of this per-petrator of civic programs. To obtain

this information I was forced to en-dure the famed kidding of Capt. Kar-

ger. I didn't mind though, for I found (as did the boy whose mother told him to give his lolly-pop to the dog because it had fallen on the

ground) that I was able to get in a couple of licks myself. It's comfort-

ing to know that the first one hundred programs are the hardest, Gus. Think of Ma Perkins who just finished 1,000 of them this week. Milton Von Wie-ner, personnel director of the Nation's Station and a good musician too, has a birthday the 26th of this month. There are plenty more for next month, but none of them come on the fourth . . . what's the matter?

I have secured information to the effect that WCKY, our neighboring station, across the river, has been granted permission to use 10,000 Watts for Commercial broadcasting. This means a new transmitter, which

arrived Monday, June 14th and is now almost completed. In connection

too, will be a tone booster to increase efficiency sixteen to thirty-five per

cent. All this goes into operation July 1st. May I take this opportun-ity, Mr. Wilson, and join the commis-sion in saying "More Power to you."

I wonder why they have picked Edwin C. Hill for the Louis-Braddock fight? Of course we know why Clem McCarthy is to be there, or do we?

Now until next week, the Radio Sleuth offers a bit of parting advice to disappointed radio announcers—"You don't have to have a good line to be a fisherman."—SS.

BROADWAYS and BYWAYS

THE RUNAROUNDER IN PICTURES

I. Candid Camera Night at both the Lookout House and the Town Club has made an avid "eandider" out of their genial host—Jimmy Brink.

2. The young lady seems a bit frightened at having Jimmy shoot her profile. 3. This chap couldn't be whistling "I Wonder What Became of Sally," because Sally

is seated right beside him at Jimmy Brink's. 4. Russ Lyon takes to the air over WLW-NBC from the Lookout House. The reason

for the big smile is that Russ is up for a powerful commercial this Fall. 5. Nat Namur°, Jr., says "Hello" to a couple of night clubbers. 6. What makes Nat look so happy in picture 5. 7. Don Amato offers a pose in shadows. 8. All alone—and no place to go. 9. Mary O'Neill, Dayton, O., stopped in at the Town aub to say goodbye to the

"Broadway Melodies" east, who sail for i-layana, Cuba, on Friday. 10. The Robert Downeys (she's Lee Morse) prepare for a stroll.

Green Aids Young Composers

Johnny Green will turn his hour broadcast on Tuesday, June 29, at 8:30 p. m. (E.S.T.), over the NBC-Red network, including WCKY and WSM, over to the young composers of America. Still a young man him-self, Johnny knows America's future

tune-smiths always have a struggle to

impress the public. He will premiere

the newest songs of four writers whom

he thinks show the greatest promise.

Vocalists Trudy Wood, Jimmy Blair

and Jean Rhodes also will be heard.

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING JULY 2, 1937 15

THE MAN ON PAGE 13 JOHN J. LOUIS WHEN a world famous showman

" like Cecil B. DeMille, rich in theatrical tradition and old in experi-ence, steps into radio and makes mi-crophones hum, it's a case of "dog biting man."

In other words, it's not news. But when a modest advertising ex-

ecutive with no theatrical background whatsoever walks into radio and works a major miracle, then it's a case of "man biting dog."

In other words, it IS news! All of which leads up to John J.

Louis, radio's 20th century miracle man — miracle man because, though you never see him or hear his voice, yet without him you wouldn't be lis-tening to Fibber McGee and Molly every Monday night at 8 p.m.(E.S.T.) over the NBC network, including WLW.

For that's what Mr. Louis is. The man behind Marian and Jim Jordan. The man who "discovered:" this comic couple, gambled his career on their futures, and built them into the na-tionally known network and motion picture stars they are today.

Naturally, the Jordans were not rank radio amateurs when Louis first became interested in then, for they had been doing sustaining and Chi-cago local commercials for ten years. On the other hand, they were far from being big time in any sense of the word.

Consequently, when S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. decided to sponsor a net-work program, all radio row buzzed with excitement.

"They'll take a big name," radio wiseacres said. "Someone already es-tablished. Someone like Cantor or Jolson or Jessel."

But as usual, the wiseacres were wrong.

"We'll take Marian and Jim Jor-dan," Louis, vice-president of Need-ham, Louis and Brorby, Chicago agency in charge of the Johnson ac-count announced. "They've got pos-sibilities."

Thus Fibber McGee and Molly evolved. And Louis' discovery of them, his faith in their ability, his

efforts in their behalf, and his vision, marks still another milestone in radio history, in that it is perhaps the first recorded instance of a great showman

rising from advertising agency ranks.

Today, little more than two years after their network debut on the Johnson Wax program, Fibber McGee and Molly have justified Louis' faith in them by becoming two of the most important and popular comedians on the air. Proof of this statement may be established by glancing at their

Grossle\ rating, which shows them in the top flight of stars, and by the fact that at present, they are in Holly-wood, making a Paramount picture on the strength of their radio success.

Louis, too, is there with them. And his remarkable vision and smart show-manship have not gone unrewarded, for already he has been approached by several film companies, all of whom are hoping that he will see fit to lend his executive talents to the cinema.

AIR SHOW TO BE BROADCAST

ON WSAI-WCPO Stations WSAI and WCPO will

combine to broadcast a description of the Cincinnati Post-Lunken ail port air show, Sunday afternoon, June 27.

Arrangements whereby the two Cincinnati stations will cooperate to broadcast the activities were com-pleted Monday, in a conference be-tween Bill Kirkendale, production manager of WCPO; Harry Schuler, program director of WSAI, and John Koepf, promotion manager of the Post. Two broadcast periods were de-

cided on, the first from 2:30 to 3:00 p. m. (EST.) and the second from 4:00 to 4:30 p. m. (E.S.T.).

Included in the aerial exhibition will be Gordon Mougey, well-known Cincinnati pilot, who will demon-strate sky-writing; a demonstration led by Carl Friedlander, another by Wendell Fleming, and formation fly-ing by U. S. Army reserves.

Al Williams, noted stunt flier, will participate in various demonstrations, keeping in contact with a ground crew by means of short wave radio. Permission has been obtained whereby

the conversations will be broadcast over WSAI and WCPO. Tom Slater and Bob Booth will

man the WSAI Mobile Unit, while WCPO will provide announcers at the administration building. Dudley Miller Outcalt, Hamilton county' pros-

ecutor and major in the U. S. Air Corps reserve, will be the official spokesman during the show.

"Stories by Camera" "She Married a Detective," a com-

edy-drama of a retired detective and

his heckling wife, is the topic of the

"Stories By Camera" program over

WLW and the WLW Line, 8:00 to

8:30 p. m. (EST.), Friday, June 25.

The story has to do with the am-

bitious children of the couple, each

of whom wants to be a detective.

Jessup Warren, the retired officer and,

father, is forced to return to active

duty to take a murder case to clear

the name of his eldest son.

Harry Cansdale, veteran character actor, will portray Jessup Warren, the baseball loving, popcorn chewing

detective, who spends most of his time enjoying life and listening to his wife.

Virginio Marucci has written the synchronized musical score. Law-rence Menkin is the author.

"Our Gal Sunday"

Dorothy Lowell is the pretty

young red-head who plays the title role in the "Our Gal Sun-day." sketches broadcast over the WABC-Columbia network, in-cluding WKRC, WHAS and WJR, Mondays through Fridays from 11:45 a.m. to Noon(E.S.T.).

Virginia Golden Joins WCKY Staff

Miss Virginia Golden (Goldenburg)

member of a prominent Cincinnati

theatrical family, joins the continuity

staff of Station WCKY this week.

Miss Golden is a daughter of Mrs.

Grace Delaney Goldenburg and the late William Smith Goldenburg, for years dramatic editor of the Enquirer.

Her sister, Florence Golden, is the wife of Don Becker, well known radio

writer and producer, now in Holly-wood.

Miss Golden will continue to be heard in the cast of "The Life of Mary Sothern" on WLW.

ONCE OVER, Lightly The favorite programs of some

of your favorite stars have never been discussed in public print.

That's why it was such an inter-esting discovery to learn that radio's biggest people have their own favorites—and some of them listen to the microphone work of their closest rivals with the greatest of pleasure, proving once again that jealousy isn't so prevalent in radio.

For instance, Peter Van Steeden often attends a Don Voorhees broadcast and sits intrigued at the unique rhythms of his fellow music-master.

Lucille Manners greatly enjoys the music of Ferde Grofe and rushes home after her Friday night airings to tune in on the composer-conductor. Ferde, paradoxically enough, likes the modern "swing" music of Benny Goodman.

Carl Ravell will pause any mo-ment to catch an airing by Tim and Irene, his San Francisco friends . . . . and East and Dumke derive their greatest pleasure from listen-ing to Phil Baker and other comics.

Morton Bowe favors the Jack Benny airings, and Benny himself returns the compliment by being an ardent fan of the handsome young tenor. M. H. H. Joachim gets enough

drama with his "Unseen Friend" broadcasts—so he looks toward B. A. Rolfe's sprightly music for relaxation. Lum and Abner have a weakness

for the "Johnny Presents" pro-grams—particularly Russ Morgan's music. Carlton KaDell confesses to being intrigued by Joe Cook's ef-fervescent delivery.

Phil Baker lays aside his pipe and papers when Raymond Paige takes the air on "Hollywood Hotel," and more than once, the CBS comic has sent the West Coast maestro

lie seented me to ride in site rumble-seat."

wires and letters of congratulation on his playing of a particular dif-ficult number.

Johnny Green says his favorite diversion is to sit by the micro-phone and listen to Wilbur Hatch's music. Regarded as one of the foremost musicians of his day, Green nevertheless finds Hatch's rhythms exciting, and never fails to catch Wilbur's broadcasts.

DICK TEMPLETON.

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING JULY 2,. 1937

LEWIS LIND--THE ADMIRAL OF THE "SHIP OF SONG"

IT was a warm June evening. The

many friends who had come to-

gether for a party respectfully listened

as Lewis Lind sang. And that marked

the beginning of Lewis Lind's singing

career.

It happened like this. Lewis had

just completed his studies at the Cin-

cinçati Art Academy, and a few of

the artists, including the' son of a

prominent Cincinnati journalist, gath-

ered together at the journalist's home

to wish each other success and hap-

piness. With them was John Weis, teacher

of portrait-painting, a man well-known in art and musical circles. As they all joined in a rollicking chorus, Lind's voice stood out from the rest. And Weis was so impressed by the tone quality, range and volume that he promised Lind an introduction to Italo Picchi, late star of the Metro-politan and the Zoo Opera. • Picchi consented to hear Lind. Lewis awaited eagerly for the day to come, and when he finally appeared before Picchi, he let his natural tal-ents have full sway. But Picchi was unmoved.

"O000," Picchi exclaimed, covering his ears with his hands. "A voice, yes! But untrained! Where did you learn? Who could teach you to sing like that? But a fine voice . . . a quality to develop, yes." And then in the manner of the

great teacher that he was, he shrugged his shoulders, and went on to give ad-

vice, half in English, half in Italian. "It is never too late to study. Meg-

¡jo tardi che mai! You will study, no? You will have to practice. Long hours, too, maybe. But you should forget the hours. With a voice like yours can come great futures. But you must study and study hard." And study "hard" Lewis did!

Picchi was unrelenting in his work.

He demanded much, and expected to get it. He literally swamped Lind, and Lewis tells of many long hours spent in singing and studying various operatic roles during those years he trained with Picchi. And in addition to his music, Lind

still had his painting. He had studied painting for six years at the Academy, and although he was a scholarship student, he found it nec-essary to do outside work to get money. He worked in a foundry during the summer months, as a commercial artist and display man, and as an usher in the evenings at a neighborhood theatre.

An amusing incident occurred while Lewis was working as an usher. He was studying with Picchi at the time. So that he could practise every avail-able moment, Lewis would go down into the basement of the theatre as soon as his work was finished. In the basement he would sing to his heart's content.

One night the manager of the the-atre noticed a large number of pa-trons gathered near a drinking foun-tain. The manager, thinking that there might be some trouble, hastened to the crowd.

As he approached, he noticed that the patrons seemed to be puzzled. "What seems to be the trouble

here ?" the manager asked.

"No trouble at all," one of the movie-goers replied. "We're -just try-ing to find out where the music's com-ing from.

"Music? What music?" asked the manager.

"Just listen," said the patron.

And sure enough, Lind's voice was carried from the basement into the theatre lobby through the water pipes and the heating system. The crowd listened on intently as Lind sang an aria from one of the great operas.

A similar incident happened when Lind was visiting the home of a friend. It was a summer evening, and

the windows were left wide open, as Lind entertained his friend with a varied repertoire.

Suddenly the telephone rang. An excited voice spoke from the receiver. It was the next-door neighbor. "From what station are you get-

ting Lawrence Tibbett?" he asked. "I've been dialing around for the last half-hour, and I just can't seem to get the station on my set."

After an explanation was made, the neighbor was invited over, so that

he could hear the "station" he couldn't get on his set.

"But those years under Picchi were hard," Lewis explains. "It was dur-ing those years that my background for my present work was built." "Was there any indication when

you were a child that you might be-come a singer?" Lind was asked.

"None at all," Lind modestly re-plied. "In fact, I once failed to get credit in music at school." Lind didn't tell, however, that the reason

Crucifixion Selection Fea-tures Choral Echoes

"God So Loved the World," from The Crucifixion, which was present-ed by the WLW augmented Cathedral Choir at Easter in a special program, will be sung by the Choir during "Choral Echoes" over WLW and the WLW Line, 3:30 to 4:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), Sunday, June 27. Grace Clauve Raine, vocal director

of WLW, who conducts the "Choral

Echoes" program, has received many requests for the number from The

Crucifixion. The choir, composed of the WLW staff vocalists, is augmented by the Crosley Radio Corporation Glee Club of 50 voices, made up of

Crosiey factory workers. The complete "Choral Echoes" pro-

gram for June 27 follows: "The Sun of God Goes Forth to

War"; "The Old Rugged Cross"; "Jesus Calls Us" ; "God So Loved the World"; "More Love to Thee"; "Somebody"; "The Church's One Foundation"; "Nearer, My God, to Thee"; "Love Divine"; and "Evening Prayer."

for his failure was because he used to "skip" music class. He couldn't

listen to the discords of the other pupils.

Lind's artistic nature, and his de-sire to sing well, really did manifest itself when he was still a young boy. "Lewis used to play arias from many of the great operas on our old phono-graph," his mother said, "and then try to sing the parts himself."

Lind is of the quiet type in in-formal life. His favorite sports are swimming and boxing. He collects prints of old masters as a hobby. He also collects pipes, and invariably is seen smoking a trusty briar.

Lind, who has a deep baritone voice, ideally suited for the romantic ballads, spirited western songs, and

other types of songs he now sings, is the featured artist on the "Ship of

Simg" program over WKRC, every Sunday morning at 11:30 (E.S.T.).

"Ship of Song" is presented by Schiff's Outlet Shoe Stores, and, in addition to Lind, features guest artists each week.

Carter Takes First Vacation In 8 Years

For the first time in eight straight years of broadcasting, the voice of Boake Carter, famous Philco radio news commentator, will be off the air

for one week beginning June 27. During that short period Carter

will take his first vacation since he became a national figure in the broad-

casting of news. And to make certain that he will have a real holiday and be completely out of touch with news of all kinds, Carter will spend the week as skipper of a sixty-foot auxil-iary yawl, The Alelnansr, owned by Sa‘re M. Ransdell, vice-president of Philco Radio and Television Corpo-ration, in a famous ocean race.

During Carter's absence his place will be filled by H. V. Kaltenborn, nationally known news commentator.

pERICLES P. PLUTOCRAT, ji the banker, who owns stock in 49 different corporations, files all these certificates in a very novel manner. For the purpose he uses a fire and theft-proof metal cab-inet which contains 49 compart-

ments labeled as indicated In the illustration. The method of filing the stock suggested a very interesting puzzle to his secretary. This puzzle

consists of re-arranging the 49 labels so that no letter or number is in line with a sim-ilar letter or number, in any horizontal, ver-tical or diagon-al row. The puzzlist

can use one of two very con-venient meth-ods of solving this puzzle. One way consists of drawing a sev-en-inch square and dividing it into 49 one-inch squares and then writing in each small square the let-ter and number of the file in the order re-

quired to solve the puzzle. If the second manner is used

the puzzlist cuts out 49 small squares of cardboard, labels each of them with the file letter and number and then arranges the squares in seven rows.

The Four Ages T" ages of four girls, Althea,

Bernice, Cecily and Dorothea, present a fascinating mathemati-cal problem. Dorothea, who is the eldest of the group, is six years older than Althea, the youngest of the quartet. The combined ages of the four

girls total 82 years. Bernice is one year older than Althea; Ce-cily is two years older than Ber-nice, and Dorothea is three years older than Cecily.

Although each girl knows thia age of all members of the group, none is willing to reveal the se-cret. With the aid of the clues given here, however, the puzzlist easily can find out exactly how old each girl was at her last birthday. Get a pencil and paper and figure it out.

A Card Trick HE amateur magician holds a

A Charade of the Fashions PAMELA paused in her noon-

day ramble to gaze in awe at the pageant of past fashions dis-played in a department store window. One costume inspired Pamela to write this charade: "The frocks by modern women

favored, **** slips of chiffon seem to be, Compared to the thick ** ******

dresses Worn by the girls in '83. It took so many yards of drese

goods To make a gown for one slim

maid, That half the mg' that Dad

could gather To daughter's dressmaker was

paid." There are three words missing

from Pamela's verses. The third and first of these words are

joined together to spell the sec-ond word. The asterisks indicate the number of letters in each of the three missing words.

MEN PREFER HOME PICNICS ,

Many Are Advantages of Back-Yard

Outings—and an Outdoor Grill. By BYRON MacFAYDEN

pERHAPS, in your strolls on a bright summer morning, you have seen a man sitting on his front porch absent-mindedly

stroking his dog's head and gazing across the lawn with a pensive look in his eyes. Your guess regarding his thoughts is as good as mine, but I'd be willing to venture that the porch-sitter is one- of those helpless individ-uals who try to reconcile themselves to a situation that frequently faces them on week-ends or holidays. What is this situation? Well, you'll

find it in its early stages out in the kitchen. Let's go and look. My goodness—what activity!

Where's Mother right in the midst of salad, sandwiches, deviled eggs, vacuum bottles, waxed paper and cardboard boxes.

Yes, sir, it's a picnic lunch, and as soon as Mother gets all the eatables stowed away in a big basket, cleans up the kitchen, closes the windows and sees to the provisioning of canary and cat, she will call Father to get the car, because—"We're all ready to go !" Now you can understand why Father

is so forlorn out on the front porch. However, he does not interfere with these picnic proceedings. Father loves his wife and family too much to do that. But he loves his home, too,— all the more so for a long business week of exile. There's s nnething about it, particularly the yard with its lawns, towers and trees, that is very sooth-

ing to him. If Father had his way, he'd drag up a big porch chair under those trees and read, perhaps doze a little. As far as rating is concerned, he'd be perfectly willing to have lunch or supper right under those trees. Much simpler, he reasons, than driv-ing on crowded highways or rutty back roads; and, besides, there are no ants, no poison ivy, no roving cattle to complicate the day.

There are other advantages in stay-at-home outings. Think of all the bread-spreading you don't have to do. Reflect upon the 'wrapping and pack-ing you can avoid. Contemplate the ease in getting back home. And don't forget the number of windows you won't have to close.

At this point you may say, "Oh, we have often eaten out-of-doors at home, but there is nothing very excit-ing about it."

well, if you crave excitement and novelty, plus something extra nice oto eat, the thing to do is to cook at least one item of food on the menu out-of-doors. In other words, make an outdoor grill.

It is obvious that the outdoor grill is responsible for men's growing in-terest in home picnics. I know men who wouldn't think of touching a utensil in the home kitchen. Yet, if there is a chance to cook out-of-doors, it is impossible to keep them away from the fire. What's more, these men. have become proud au-thorities on open-fire cooking. There is no need to tell you where

to put your outdoor grill. Your yard

" EBE—below and at the left—are two types of outdoor grille that will provide equally delight-

ful camp-like tare for that picnic in a shady corner of the home grounds. The one below is a permanent asset, built of masonry and steel. It's introduction into a corner of your yard will constitute a tempting invitation to eat outdoors when balmy days are here for a definite stay. The portable type illus-trated folds like a camp-chair, so that you can take it on motor tripe when you camp out.

will decide that. All you need is some shade, a more or less secluded spot, and a pleasant outlook. As far as grills are concerned, there's a wide choice. You can make a very satisfactory one out of stones or brick. Arrange them in horseshoe fashion about 8" high. The area enclosed should be about 18" square. For a grill top see if you can't find one of those heavy wire gratings often used for cellar windows, or a sidewalk grating. It will give you plenty of room for broiling, besides a plate to put a kettle or a coffee pot.

Another type of outdoor grill is sold at hardware or camping-equipment stores. This consists of a steel frame with heat-proof meshed wire and fold-ing steel legs. After your fire has burned down, set the grill over the bed of coals by pushing the steel legs on the ground. One of the best devices to use over

a stone fireplace is one of those old-fashioned wire toasters. I had such a toaster when I started to cook out-of-doors and would lay it on top of two iron bars placed across the fireplace. The advantage of this toaster lies in the fact that it holds the meat or chicken firmly, and you can turn it over most conveniently.

If you can locate the portable type of grill illustrated in the circle, you have something that makes grilling a

jov. This grill costs about $2 and folds up flat like a camp chair. It burns charcoal or briquets and de-velops superb broiling coals in less than half an hour. And hete's some-thing to remember—on rainy days or in winter you can operate this grill in your living-room fireplace.

There is another advantage in own-ing this portable broiler ; it is just the thing to take on a motor trip when you camp out. Since it folds up, it takes very little space in your car. With two or three pounds of charcoal you can have a smokeless perfect cook-ing fire in a few minutes. Some news-paper pages twisted up are all that is necessary to ignite the charcoal or briquets.

If you want to build a permanent grill, the one illustrated on this page may suit your yard. However, you can construct a simpler one, which is built against a stone or brick wall and, inclusive of masonry, material and labor, will cost you less than $20. As regards the one here illustrated and described in the box, I have had the privilege of cooking on it, and it is a wonder. Now let me present briefly how one

of these home-yard picnics is organ-ized and developed. Such a disserta-tion may be helpful to those who have had no experience along this line. It's all so easy and such fun, too, once you know how.

First, I'll give you the menu. There

will be minute steaks, not over Yz" thick. Then there will be macaroni and cheese in a casserole; a mixed salad of tomatoes, lettuce and cucum-bers ' • hot buttered rolls and coffee. For dessert, fruit or melon that's in season, or a chocolate cake or ice cream if your family cries for such a windup to the meal.

With this in mind, we are ready to start. When you begin to make and bake the macaroni dish indoors, send Father and the children out in the yard to set the table. It is very handy to have an old table to put under the trees so you can sit down to your meal. But if you haven't, set up a card table so there is a place to put your dishes, silverware, condiments, water glasses, paper napkins, also the salad and rolls. This table, in other words, serves as a buffet. Of course, the salad and rolls are not brought out of the kitchen until the very last moment, for we must have cold things cold and hot things hot.

Now tell Father to start his fire. If he uses wood, it may take between thirty minutes and an hour to get the bed of coals ready. However , when he says that the fire is ready éor the steaks, bring out your covered casserole of macaroni, the salad bowl and the hot buttered rolls. Then stand by; when those steaks go on the fire, it won't be more than three minutes be-fore Father will be calling for plates. All that is left to do is heap each plate with a steak, a helping of macaroni and some salad. Yes, put the salad on the same plate—it won't be messy if you have not used too much salad dressing on it.

You can see from the foregoing that the activities out in the yard at the grill must be timed with those in the kitchen. There's nothing more dis-couraging to the grill chef than to watch beautifully broiled steaks cool off while everybody is running in and out of the house crying, "Where are the rolls?" . . . "Is the maraconi reads'?" . . . "Is the salad mixed?" . . . "Have 'ou made the coffee?"

This problem of timing may be something to contend with in your first experiment with outdoor cooking. It may take longer than N'ou or Father expected to get the fire ready for broil-ing. But take it easy, even though the casserole dish is done. You know it can be kept warm in the oven in-definitely without losing its goodness. So turn down the oven and go out and watch Father nurse the fire. It won't be long before he'll announce:

"All right, bring everything out. I'm putting the steaks on the fire right now .

Here are specifications for the out-door grill masonry and steel illustrated on this page, which has been used and is recommended by the author, Mr. Afar Fayden. The grill itself is made of stainless

steel—%" rods about 1" apart. The width is 36" and the depth 27". This grill is movable and can be placed on steel pegs 5", 61/4 " and 7%" above the bed of coals. The shelves flanking the grill are 12" wide and 25'/3" deep. From the ground to the floor of the fireplace is 30"; to the top of the shelves, 39". The fireplace extends from the front of the grill under the chimney a distance of 42". Th chimney rises about 4' above the level of the shelves. The opening below the grill, which looks like an oven, is merely a receptacle for fuel and fire utensils.

HE boy was wildly exultant. He grabbed the girl by the shoulders and shook her hap-

pily. "Now we can get married!" he

shouted. "You hear me, honey? You and me—married! Lord, Betty, we've waited so long!

"Look, baby. Here's the cash. Five hundred bucks, ànd it's all ours. Every nickel of it. Enough for the rent, and the down payment on the furniture, and the ceremony, and—"

She placed her hand over his mouth. She looked frightened. Tommy? Tell me the truth." He grinned. "Speculation," he replied. "Oh,

don't you worry. I'm not taking money these days. I didn't steal it. I played the market. Honestly I did,

hon. This is our dough. But she didn't believe him . . .

SHE loved the boy. She loved him

so much that she suspected him. Four years before, he had stolen some money—and he had served a year and a day for the theft. When he came out, he swore he'd never steal again.

Betty made her uncle George give Tommy a job in the shoe store. Since then, the struggle had been very diffi-cult. Tommy didn't earn much money, and he was anxious to get

married. And now, suddenly, he had shown up with $500. That night, Betty went to see her

uncle George. He was an indulgent old man who loved his niece. Betty was nervous.

"How are things?" she asked. "At the store, I mean." The old man shrugged. -

"Not too bad, my dear. And not too good, either."

"Oh, I don't mean that," said the girl. "I mean, has there been any—

any—well, anything like a robbers lately?"

Uncle George frowned over his glasses.

'How did you know?" he inquired.

Hellinger Short Story Betty's heart sank. She knew then

that Tommy had lied to her. Once a thief—

"There was a sum of money taken from the safe," said the old man.

"Not a great deal, but a definite theft." He saw her eyes brimming. "You think it's Tommy, don't you,

"Look, baby. Here's the cash. Five hundred bucks, and it's all ours."

child? I thought so. Has he displayed any money lately?" She nodded. "My, my, that looks bad. I didn't know whether it was Tommy or Jack, or maybe some outsider who got in the store."

Betty was crying now. "But I wouldn't think of calling

the police, Betty, child," the old man went on. `I don't want any unfav-able publicity. In the morning, I'll tell Tommy to leave. Let's forget all about it."

The next day, Betty sent her en-gagement ring back to Tommy. No jeweler's loop would show it, but sev-eral pieces of broken heart went with it . . .

Suspicion

erOMMY phoned. He called at the

2" house. He called, he phoned, and

he phoned and he called. He tried everything possible to get in touch

with Betty. But she wouldn't permit it.

After two weeks, she found that the hurt hadn't lessened any. If a ing, she fett worse. And then, w i e e was shopping one afternoon, she felt a tug at her arm. She turned to see Joe Craven, an old friend.

"Getting high-hat?" he smiled. "No," she murmured. "Just wan-

dering around in a fog, I guess." "How's Tommy these days?" "Tommy? Oh, he's—he's just fine

and dandy."

"That's good." The man looked at her wisely. "Did he tell you what I did for him?"

"What you did, Joe?" Why, no. At least, I don't think so."

Joe shook his head. "Fine thing!" he cried. "Not mar-

ried yet, and already he's holding out on you! I gave him a swell inside

tip on the stock market and he walks away with five hundred bucks—and

then he doesn't even tell you about it.

Wait until I see that mugg!" Betty felt very dizzy very suddenly. "How—how was that again, Joe?

I—I don't think I understood you cor-rectly."

"Sure you did. Its all very simple. A few weeks back, I steered him into a fine buy. He walked out of our office with five hundred smakeroos in

his pocket. And I—" The girl seemed to have some diffi-

culty with her heart. "Would you mind excusing me,

Joe?" she interrupted. "I've got to

go somewhere right away. Excuse me, Joe. Goodby."

She ran like a frightened rabbit. Joe scratched his head and murmured

something to the effect that all dame* are nuts anyhow . . .

FOR decorum's sake, she waited

downstairs in the living room of the boarding house. As soon as Tom-my heard who was waiting, he came galloping down the stairs.

"Betty, baby!" "Oh, Tommy!" For three full minutes, they were

in a clinch. Betty cried, and then apologized, and then cried some more. She said that Tommy would be quite correct if he never forgave her. She said she was going to phone uncle George immediately and get Tommy back on the job. And, more impor-tant, could she have her engagement ring again?"

It was a scene of Young Love Re-united, or some such pretty thing. Better writers than I have written it far better than I could ever hope to. But you get the general idea.

It all turned out very beautifully. Instead of phoning uncle George, Betty went right down to see him. He promised that Tommy could have his job back—and that he would never mention the theft. After all, it was only $100. Then Betty returned to Tommy's

boarding house, and again they went into a clinch that wasn't far from a world's record. After awhile, Betty looked at him and sighed. "Can you ever forgive me, Tom-

my?" she asked. "Really forgive me, I mean. I was such a fool." "Aw, forget it, hon." He kissed her

again. "We'll be married next week

and—well, maybe it's just as good it happened this way. Now we know how nuts we are about each other."

"Oh, gee, Tommy. Gee, gee, gee!" Tommy nodded his head slowly.

`And besides, baby," he said, "I got it all figured out that we only need $400 to start with. So, the first thing tomorrow, I'm gonna sneak into uncle George's safe and put back the hundred I took to speculate with!

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW

. Lighter feictures are corning out of Hollywood for the Summer season, and some of the newer films are very amusing, indeed. "I MET HIM IN PARIS," for example, boasts of a swell writing job by Claude Binyon, a fine piece of direction by Wesley Ruggles, and three sparkling per-formances by Claudette Colbert, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Toting. "I MET HIM IN PARIS" is a refreshing film,

cleverly concocted, and is practically ideal picture lare for this time of year . . . "HOTEL HATWIRE," also produced by Paramount, is a daffy farce that never takes itself seriously at any stage of the proceedings. A number of the gags are

familiar, but you are inclined to forget that angle in the cap-able fun-making of Lynne Overman and Leo Carillo. "HOTEL HATWIRE" will cause you no pain . . . Victor Moore and Heen Broderick are again paired in "MEET THE MISS US," a lively satire on American commercial contests. It's a highly amusing job.

. . . Among the new books, be sure to read

'AMERICAN DREAM," by Michael Fos-

ter, a novel that' stands out like a moun-

tain peak in the gathering avalanche o so-called "Summer Fiction." Beginning with Jean Thrall, sea-captain, rebel, mer-chant, who finally ran away from stodgi-ness to become the king of a South Sea Island, and closing with Shelby Thrall's hopeful purchase of a small-town print Michael Fester

shop, Foster creates the history of a family that is also the history of a nation and a national spirit. "AMERICAN DREAM" is an exciting tale, brilliantly told, and is issued by Morrow for $3 . . . If you like to regulate your reading by the temperature, we suggest "NOT TONIGHT," by Park-hurst Whitney. It's a gay little novel about a group of moderns who run a road-house in a converted mansion.

Adele A.fieire

. . Odds and Ends In the Entertain-ment World: Adele Astaire, Fred's sister (they once referred to Fred as Adelis brother), has turned down all those tre-mendous Hollywood offers to make a pic-ture and will co-star instead in a London musicale with Jack Buchanan.

She bought a book about Abraham Lincoln and was reading it when a friend approached. "That's a good Lincoln book," said the friend.

If things keep up as they are, the warm months of 1937 will go down in radio history as the summer of the great static. What with much rain, high humidity and frequent electrical storms, reception conditions have been unfavorable to say the least. The short waves as well as the broad-cast band have been under bombard-nient. Even the amateurs are com-plaining. And the "hams" stick at their sets long after broadcast listen-

la> ers snap off switches in disgust. Worse, like most talk about the weather, nothing can be done about it, except dial high-power locals and wait for a break. Conditions do prove one thing, however: that static is not a function of temperature alone. Many listeners still believe this. But it hasn't been really hot this summer. Yet the static level is higher than in the blistering summer of 1934. Other factors are just as important as tem-perature. *

Berton Braley's verses titled "The Children's Hour," reprinted in the Reader's Digest for June, are recom-mended, if not exactly pleasant read-ing for the directors of most juvenile programs.

• • • The vaunted infallibility of Profes-

sor Quiz took it on the chin June 12 when he gave "Just a song at twi-light" as the opening line of "Love's Old Sweet Song." That is the chorus, not the verse. This isn't his first slip. But heretofore he's erred by being positive when a qualified an-swer was right.

This is the season when substitutes get their chance to replace "name" performers taking vacations from the air; for instance, Eddie Stanley-, bat-ting for Cantor. . Stanley made his microphone debut a few seasons ago. His stuff doesn't need rigorous cleans-ing as it did then. But his June 13 efforts failed to assay so much as one smile in 30 minutes for this dial-twister. It seemed a perfect example of comedy that's just hard work, two things that are intompatible, though most of the air jesters don't seem to know it.

The battle between the chains for stations goes on right merrily. NBC has just gathered in WHK, Cleve-land. It'll be meshed into the Blue net September 26, replacing WGAR.

• Frede Grofe is doing better than

nicely with that new bank series of his (CBS over WKRC, Friday, 9:00 p. m., E.S.T.). Using a symphonic orchestra and light to popular music he hasn't forgotten there's such a thing as melody.. Which may be a violation of the Wagner Act, but is distinctly pleasant nevertheless. .He's from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. (E.S.T.).

also found some vocalists who can really sing and have fresh delightful voices. That of itself is something.

Back in the "good old days" a co llllll ercial program was supposed to typify the sponsor's product. I couldn't help thinking of that as I dialed Johnnie Green's summer Pack-ard program. Does 60 minutes of his rhythm makes anybody covet a ritzy car? Carrying the product tie-in a bit further, Trudy Wood's wit-ticisms probably suggest the value of shock-absorbers. It's a bewildering business.

Moving into the WLW spot va-cated by Jimmie Scribner, the pro-gram of the Eichstadt String Ensem-ble is "just what the doctor ordered." Delightful music and gifted perform-ance make this quarter-hour a re-freshing oasis, beautifully timed for full enjoyment. It deserves a half hour, both for its own sake and be-cause there is so little dinner music that doesn't disturb digestion.

Shirley Ross raises a question that's been puzzling this dial-twister these many months. In her acting bits on Ken Murray's show she displays a cbarming speaking voice. Yet when she "sings". . . . Just why is this? Why must naturally pleasant speak-ing voices be distorted into some-thing quite unrecognizable when their possessors begin to vocalize? It's a mystery nobody can explain satisfac-torily.
