OOSE JAZZ KING!
Rudy Vallee, left; Paul Whiteman, above; Ben Bernie, upper right; Jack Denny, below Ber- nie, and Guy Lom- bardo are among the favorites to w¶n the King of Jazz title which starts in this week's Radio Guide.
WHO IS America's King of Jazz? The public wants to know, the broadcasters want to know, and we want to know. Week
after week, RADIO GUIDE has been deluged with letters extolling one
or another of the most popular orchestras above all others. Ever
since RADIO GUIDE'S "IT" Girl contest ended we have been asked
to conduct a popularity poll for orchestras and their leaders.
So here goes! The race is on! And may the best maestro win! Popular music consumes more time on the air than any other
form of entertainment, and it is probable that band leaders receive
more mail from listeners than all the other radio favorites combined.
America is amused and entertained by its jazz bands. Therefore, who is America's Jazz King? You-the public-will name him. RADIO GUIDE will crown him! Actually crown him, for to tl-e
winner will go the swankiest silver crown that the GUIDE can find! . loving cup was ap- propriate for the "IT"
Girl contest winner, so a crown will certainly be
appropriate for Radio's Jazz King.
Ten years ago Paul Whiteman was the ac- knowledged King of Jazz, for it was Whiteman who broadened our conception of ragtime music to in- clude perfect rhythm, har- mony, and the unusual effects which combine to
Public's Vote to Pick Radio Jazz King rake the best popular music of the present day.
Whiteman was Jazz King, and he may still be Jazz King! It is up to the public to decide. Certainly he is one of the favorites in the race for honors.
But there are hundreds of band leaders in America who are heard on the radio, and any one of them has a chance to win. True, we name some who loom, with Whiteman, as favorites.
There is Guy Lombardo, whose great orchestra is recognized every- where as one of the best heard of the networks. And Ben Bernie, whose fan mail exceeds five thousand letters a week, whose vocalists, Jackie Heller and Pat Kennedy, are stars in their own right, and who delight millions weekly over the networks.
Rudy Vallee is right up there at the top, winning new honc,Os with his exceedingly popular program of the moment. What about Wayne
King. the "Waltz King"? He ought to be in the running for high- es: honors. And who is there to say that Isham Jones, Vincent
Lopez, Don Pedro, Abe Lyman, Cab Calloway, Hal Kemp, Clyde McCoy, Ted Weems, Jack Denny, or Frankie Mas-
ters won't win' Then there's William Stoess, George Olsen, George
Hall, Art Kassel, Bernie Cummins, Ted Fío -Rita, Carl Moore, Eddie Duchin, and Mark Fisher.
All of them have a chance. Not to speak of Charlie Agnew, Harry Sosnik, Ben Pollack,
Herbie Kay, Frankie Trumbauer, Don Redman, Danny Russo, Phil Spitalny,
Don Bestor, Jan Garber and many, many others far too numerous to
mention. You just clip your ballot
and take your choice. It's like a Presidential elec-
tion with a hundred major parties and
a hundred can -
(Continued fro m Page One) didates. You can paste the ballot (see facing page:) on the back of a postcard.
The balloting will last for five or six weeks, time enough to give every RADIO GUIDE reader an opportunity to vote.
One of the anticipated features of the voting will be the standings of Ted Weems and George Olsen. When Weems replaced Olsen on the Canada Dry Hour much comment resulted. Hundreds of letters were received by RADIO GUIDE giving opinions on the change.
Broadcasters say that orchestras very popular in some sections are almost slighted in others. Cities, states, and whole sections of the country have their favorite bands.
Thus, in Cincinnati, William Stoess, the "Flying Dutchman," might be king, while Chicago might be heart and soul for Ben Bernie or Wayne King. The West Coast is expected to go strong for Ted Fio -Rita, while New York likes Jack Denny and Paul Whiteman. New England will probably favor Vallee. Nobody can say what the solid South will do, but who can doubt that Cab Calloway will carry Harlem?
RADIO GUIDE will closely watch the ballots, by sec
tions, so we can report which orchestra leaders are
favored in certain cities and states. Orchestras heard over the networks will, of
course, possess an advantage over the bands which reach the public over only one station. RADIO GUIDE will endeavor to designate the local bands, so that although their total may be considerably smaller than the leaders, they will be able to receive recognition.
Here ít is, the long- sought battle of the bands! Just clip that coupon on page two and join the fight. It will be hot!

This letter was received in answer to a
query printed in tor's Mail Box several weeks ago, when we sta ed that Jane Dillon's present whereabouts are not known. "Dear RADIO GUIDE:
This is in repl; to an article I read in
your very fascinating magazine. Jane Dillon commences a new series of
broadcasts over \VICC Bridgeport, Connecti- cut, 600 kilocycles, on Monday, December 26 at 6:30 p. m., EST. I thought yol. might be interested in hearing of this as I am sure many of Miss Dillon's previous listeners will appreciate knowing this. Thanking you kindly, I remain an ardent reader of the RADIO GUIDE.
Betty Gay." N. B. Miss Gay herself is a staff artist
of 11'ICC and RADIO GUIDE expresses ap- preciation of her co-operation in this mat- ter. et

Mrs. P. G., Hampshire, 111.-The name Pierre Andre certainly is of French extrac- tion. It might be rendered into. English as Peter Andrews. However, this is only a nom de aire, as Pierre is Phil Litman in private life.
J. Al., Waterville, Ale.-The Boswell Sisters have been with Chesterfield's spon- sored program for approximately one year. If you like their music, you might tune in their sustaining program put on for the new year by Columbia.

Dear Sir: Congratulations on your new column! For
some time I have wanted to join a "Myrt and Marge" club, but'I have not been able to find such an organization. I do hope
some one will reply to my inquiry. Where is a Myrt and Marge club?
I wish you much success with your most helpful column.

WITH 1933 rolling along its merry way to fame and fortune (we hope) ,
the regular business before the meeting is that of making resolutions.
Of course, many of these have been broken before and already, but one which
the National Broadcasting Company has made is particularly meritorious
and worthy of mention. It is: To make fewer last-minute changes in announced NBC programs.
Benson K. Pratt, good will ambassador of the Chicago NBC studios,
has been making an extensive study of the problem. He hopes to reform
the network's program shufflers so that after they deal out the hours at the
beginning of the week, no more than several deuces and treys will be palmed
before the listener draws his entertainment hand come Friday or Saturday.
Nothing annoys a fan more than to discover that the program promised by RADIO
GUIDE has suddenly evaporated; nothing spurs a RADIO GUIDE program editor to premature
insanity more rapidly than to be blamed for the whimsical program switches indulged in
by chain and local stations for which h" across their shirt fronts labeled "client"! ... which reminds that Bill (Mendoza) Cooper's Foreign Legion, coming to you later this Sunday, will go back to the old time nest week because the West Coast stations want the program badly but not too late.

N Reviewing Mike Porter-
Mike Porter Column (herein January 1-7
edition) slightly brittle but bright in spots.
Lead paragraph very dull because of a sour
subject named Plummer. Printing and type selection nice, but who is thisguy Plummer? I read what Plummer said about Lombardo's trip to Europe. Ile intimated plans were be-
ing made to broadcast from the boat and the Continent. So why shouldn't the extended cigar airing contract be appeased regardless? Guy, Carmen and the rest of the brothers needn't be stopped by the mere Atlantic Ocean. And when they get to the middle, they can drop off Gracie and George Allen. Reading through to the bitter Porter end,
the writing gentlemen is naive about those
public program tryouts. Or isn't that what we've been having more or less for the past twelve years? A fire hydrant full of prune juice to you, Mickey.
Easy Aces sponsor has renewed with
the WABC-Columbia, despite a strong
effort on the part of the competition to

this week in N'Yawk. N
Dear Sirs: 1-lere's a little information for your club-

tion concerning the "Ben Bernie Loyalty Club" by writing to Lela I-lunsinger of Mays, Indiana, president of this club.

(Continued from Page Five) Tiffingtuffer) Hedge of Myrt and Marge are "just good friends" .. . Imagine the drown- ing fisherman's- surprise when Mr. Herring, NBC musician, fished him out of the Chi- cago River! It occurred right by the Merch Mart where anything can and often does happen.
K The Neal Sisters, ex -NBC trio with a
jinx, spelled it Neil and now, luck changed, are spotted on WBBM . , . The Morin (NBC trio) Sisters should make an altera- tion to save typographical embarrassment.

et Reviewing the Chains-
Carveth Wells (Wednesday, December 28, at 9:30 p. m. CST on NBC) explores America with a broad English accent. Mr. Wells would be extremely enjoyable to an Oxford graduate. But then the latter would probably know all of Mr. Wells' answers already. Continuity interesting; voice pruny.
N CORN Con PIPE CLUB (Wednesday, Dec.
28, 9 p. m. CST on NBC) bring you Jake and the boys and the Squire in a homey, comfortable bill of different music and good singing, coupled with natural humor. They are natural accents of the Southland you hear, for the show comes from Richmond, Va. Credit manipulation splendid. A basket of plums.
N WALTER WINCIIELL (Sunday, Dec. 25, 8:30
p. m. CST on NBC) hitting on all four with passes at Bernie and scoop news about President Hoover's promise to veto beer bills. No one would have suspected that Winchell's oldest daughter, Gloria, lay on her death bed-no one except Walter. It must have been tough to put on the show, so here's a carload of plums. ,
N FRED ALLEN'S CLUB (Sunday, Dec. 25, 8
p. m. CST on CBS) found me enrolled again to chuckle over his department store gift exchange and Roy Atwell's slapstick, but always good spoonerisms. Whoever says Allen isn't one of the champ air funmakers must have a depression in their funnybone. A plum pudding, Freddie.
Purely Personal "If you'll stay with me till the end of
my broadcast, it'll be 'Just About Right For me'," said FRANKIE MASTERS last Thurs- day night, announcing that song over WMAQ. And "If you'll stay with me till the end of my program, it'll be 'Just About Right For Me,"' declared VINCENT LOPEZ less than fifteen minutes later over NBC with WMAQ the Chicago outlet. Maybe they use the same gag men, or what?
N PATRICIA ANN MANNERS, now heard
as "Gwen" and "Alice De Wald" in CBS' "Myrt and Marge" will celebrate her first wedding anniversary with the aid of her husband, Alfred E. Schieble, Sunday, January 8. The exact hour is 5 p. m., and the pair plan a tea at their home, 40 E. Oak street, Chicago.
N "HOTCI-lA" GARDNER, saxophonist and
vocalist on the Oldsmobile NBC program, Saturday nights at 8:30 p. m., over WMAQ, joined the ranks during the Christmas week. Josephine Larkin was the bride, Frederick, Maryland the place, Monday, December 26. Mrs. Gardner is seven years older than her new husband, and has been married before.

REVIEWING RADIO By Mike Porter
Little Et) Plummer Sat looking glummer, Eating his Christmas pie; He stuck in his spoon, And pulled out a prune- And said: ''Ah-for that Porter Guy!"
SAYS the customer: "So what's going to happen in the radio field, in 1933?" Says I: "You're asking me!" For weeks and weeks, even days, I've combed my astrological whiskers,
wrinkled my senile brow, until it looks like a Plummer prune, and gazed, with watery eyes into the crystal. The only thing I could discern was a mug of beer.
However, when the crystal refused to rend the curtain behind which the future spreads, I hope, in happy vista, I called in the studio savants, the opulent observers, the sagey seers, and even a few rampant radio editors, and after a lot of foam blowing, etc., I managed to list down a few of the shrewder predictions, based, as one might suppose, on current trends, business and other portents. And I
have come to the conclusion that a logical mind might anticipate the following develop- ments in the next anno Domini:
(1) Satisfactory radio business in 1933, equalling if not surpassing sponsorial ex- penditures of 1932. (Is the man an op- timist?)
(2) Greater profits to networks, due to assured business, mainly, but also to a determination to cut into maintenance budgets. (Tsk! Tsk!)
(3) The gradual elimination of the theme song as a radio institution. (yo, ho!)
(4) A general simplification of music, due to the leadership in this project of Frank Black, head of the NBC music department.
(5) A general refinement of comedy, with a trend away from word plays and toward subtle and ludicrous situations. An accompanying refinement of advertis- ing announcements.
(6) Longer features-possibly populariz- ing 90 -minute shows.
(7) A desperate effort by the networks to snatch the show -building business from advertising agencies,
(8) Dumping of television on the market, whether it becomes practicable or not.
(9) Continuance of the good old radio custom of robbing the stage for names.
(10) A persistent effort to freshen perennial programs by the introduction of bigger and better guest artists.
(11) Congressional activity toward im- posing license fees upon broadcasting sta- tions, to remove the financial burden of radio control from the shoulders of the government.
(12) Acute trouble with daily news- papers over free radio publicity and pro- gram listing; the curtailment by the dailies of radio news and a possible restriction on all news broadcasts until newspapers have published the items.
IF 1 may follow a quaint old radio custom that expects to be respected around this
season, I'd like to list (for better or worse) the names of those who scintillated in the radio firmament during 1932. And whether you agree or not-here are the selections: Seven most popular men:
Amos 'n' Andy (counted as one), Morton Downey, Lawrence Tibbett, James Melton,
(Contixiued. on Page- Twanty)........-
Short Wave
and DX DX Editor:
Just a few notes that may be of interest to your readers in their short-wave and DX work.
YVIBC at Caracas, Venezuela, is a rather new South American station that comes in very good here. They are on 49.34 meters, I
believe, and I have heard them up to 10:30 p. m. (CST) on Sunday night, and to 9 p. m. Thursday. I have written to them, and hope to learn their entire schedule.
WEXL, a 50-watter at Royal Oak. Mich., on 1310 kc., comes in strong. They are on every night except Saturday and Sunday, from 1:30 to 5 a. m., with a program called the Moonlight Broadcasters.
KWKC, 1370 kc., 100 watts, Kansas City, Mo., is heard almost every night after mid- night with a program of phonograph records.
WEFZ a low -power station at Monterey, Mexico, has been heard several times a week with DX programs. I do not know their schedules, but my letter for verification re- ported a program heard early on Wednesday morning, near 1:30 a. m. Their wave length is near 1320 kc., probably on a split fre- quency.
Now I would like a little help myself. What station was broadcasting an electrical tran- scription (though not announced as such) by Anson Weeks and his orchestra, from 1:15 to 1:30 a. m., December 15, 1932, with a five- minute break in transmission from 1:22 to 1:27? (Time is given in Central Standard). This station left nothing but a strong whistle, like a carrier, on the air at 1:30, and made no announcement. Station was on 1320 kilo- cycles. Would be pleased to have anyone who can identify this station write to me.
Would also like to have the name and ad- dress of the operator of X1(,ß, a Mexican amateur station.
For those interested in reception records, I'll list a few of my best catches: WRDO, KASA, WJEJ, WTFI KGGM, WJTL, WBRE, WDAS, CWCY, KYPM, 10 -AB, WGH, and others, during the past few weeks. Verifications have been requested from most of these, and I hope to have DX news from some of them. All DX tips will be sent to RADIO GUIDE.

OGS! Everybody loves dogs; that's understood. But few people realize what a big part dogs-all sorts of dogs-play in the lives of the hundreds of highly -paid entertainers who troop before the microphone to provide radio entertainment for millions of Americans.
According to a master psychologist: "Pets, and especially dogs, form an emotional outlet for sensitive people. The simple expedient of patting the head of a dog is a relief from high tension. If I were director of a radio studio, I'd have several non -barking dogs around just to curb the
pent-up emotions of artists about to go on the air." -
Perhaps that's the reason for the proportionately great number of dogs that frisk around the homes of your radio favorites. "Own a dog and escape mike fright." Or it may be that air entertainers do not lead the proverbial roving life of the theater. Many of them own their own homes, and live like bank tellers or bank presidents, depending on their salaries. Theirs is not the hectic life of Hollywood or the theater.
Dogs aren't their only pets, although dogs predominate. The Countess Olga Albani owns a fox, a pert little creature that combines the manner- isms of a chow and a tabby cat. Browning Mummery, tenor with the Ambassadors quartet, has a furry honey bear. Chester Pecararo, orchestra director at the Chicago NBC studios is the possesor of a parrot who can imitate Graham McNamee.
Jean Paul King has a Persian cat, a blue ribbon winner, while Bess
Johnson, the dramatic actress, is crazy about horses. She now owns a
beautiful thoroughbred, winner of several races. Of course Chicago's loop is no race track, so Miss Johnson keeps him in Virginia.
Perhaps the oddest pets are the frogs owned by Eunice Howard, the actress. Why does she like frogs? Why do some people like spinach?
Most useful pet is Big Kernel, Irma Glen's canary bird, the little fel-
low who broadcasts to the dulcet harmonies of the organ. But Big Kernel, unlike his mistress but like a good many radio celebrities, has a bad touch of temperament. Now and then he refuses to warble unless all the studio lights are turned on. Just a spotlight hound.
Most prolific pets are owned by Allan Baruch, who plays in the
"Orphan Annie" sketches. They're tropical fish, and they breed so
rapidly that sometimes Allan comes home at night to find the popula- tion of his aquarium doubled.
But to get back to dogs. Everybody knows that Ben Bernie loves "hosses," especially if they're fast, and in- cidentally there's a race horse named Ben Bernie train- ing at New Orleans. But Bernie loves dogs with a
greater fervor than horses. His pride and joy
Dog's Life ¡
is a Great Dane, which looks like a dog but is about the size of a horse. You've seen the advertisement, "His Master's Voice." Well Harriet
Cruise has a Scotch terrier, named Tammy, which she left in her little Nebraska home town when she came to Chicago to find radio fame at the Columbia studios. And the home folks swear that Tammy recognizes Harriet's voice of the radio. Soon Miss Cruise hopes to bring her to Chicago for good.
Lucille Long thinks her Spitz is the cutest pup in the world. In the picture he looks like a small, white fur neck piece.
Joan Kay, dramatic actress who appears on the program with Howard Thurston, has a pair of pekinese. Favorite sport of Miss Kay is locking one of the pekes in the kitchen and then having the other jump out from behind the sofa. Guests call her "Miss Thurston."
Morgan L. Eastman, who directs the orchestra on the Carna- tion Contented program, has a wire-haired terrier called "Skipper." The pup stands beside his master when he goes yachting. That's how he got his name.
Most radio stars can afford thoroughbred dogs, and pay between $50 and $300 for them. But Josef Koestner is attached to a little nondescript mongrel who doesn't know his own father, and doesn't care, and who pays no attention to Koestner at all when his master goes on the air. But they go

hiking together. Loretta Poynton has
a dog that is almost as old as she is.. Loretta, you
know, is nineteen, and when she was a little tot, going to kindergarten,
she teamed up with a beautiful shepherd. They
have been together since. Appropriately enough, "Sandy" is
the name of the mongrel pup owned by Shirley Bell. Sandy might have been
modeled for a comic strip. Shirley Bell is "Little Orphan Annie" of the radio skit of the same name.
Bill Cooper, who plays Mendoza in the "Foreign Legion" sketches, has a Scotty which he has named Geivil. He named him Geivil because Geivil doesn't mean anything, and Mr. Cooper wanted to be different.
Eddie Cantor has a clever -looking little pup which romps around the house with Eddie's seemingly innumerable girl children. Edwin C. Hill, the newscaster, has a fine pointer. They go hunting together.
At first we thought that it was Pat Flanagan who owns the pekinese. Actually, it is Mrs. Flanagan, and Pat thinks the peke is effeminate. He wants a bulldog.
Myrtle Vail, of Myrt and Marge, has no dogs. But she has two goldfish, named "Spear" and "Mint."
Lee Sims. the piano wizard, and Ilomay Bailey, his charm- ing wife, both are crazy about dogs. Ilomay had a perk peke. Lee has no masculine dog. So he went out and purchased a
AaaughtyNfrreateDane, the ,saax one- that eke seoríat em picture.
Then there was happiness in the Sims household, until a few days ago, when the Great Dane died. Lee is grieving, and we can't blame him.
Another who regrets the passing of his pets is Gene Autry, Oklahoma yodeling cowboy to many stations and currently on WLS. A year ago when he came to WLS he brought along his two pedigreed police dogs. Both caught pneumonia and died.
Love birds are pets of Jessica Dragonette, toast of the Bour- don concerts, and canary birds are very much a hobby of "Gwen Rogers" (Patricia Ann Manners) of Myrt and Marge. Miss Manners owns eight, two of which are of a rare snow white
species, and she spends her leisure moments breeding them.
Kate Smith, portly favorite singer of songs, is proud of her champion royal -blooded police dog. On every tour he accompanies his mistress and his name-we've forgotten- is full of titles and much longer than that of the Songbird of the South.
And here's a dog that understands both German and English. He's the pride of band leader Frank Trumbauer, former saxophone soloist with Paul Whiteman, who imported the parents of Frank's German Schnauzer from Paris. Whiteman's father in Colorado breeds the Schnauzers and Paul presented one of the pups-later to win countless blue ribbons- to Trumbauer.
When Whiteman's orchestra was in Hollywood for the filming of "The King of Jazz," Colleen Moore, of screen fame, tried her best to purchase Trumbauer's Schnauzer, but Frank wouldn't let him go. Not only was he a gift from Paul but he had become a mascot and pet. The Dean of Modern Music is also interested in pedigreed Persian cats and has several of them. Paul can bestow no greater honor on friends than one of these as a gift.
Many radio stars have received dogs as presents from their admirers. But few of them can be kept. You see, the average radio artist is overwhelmed with a plethora of dogs already.

Radio's Perfect Lovers-the IF we were to search the whole world for
two perfect lovers our search would end in the home of the Morton Downeys, and I'm sure when you read the following story you will agree with me.
Two little words were softly whispered into the microphone at the CBS studios night after night during the Camel quarter hour. From the microphone they leaped through the ether to millions of radio listeners. Yet only one of those listeners knew exactly what they meant. That one was once Barbara Bennett, sister of Joan and Connie, daughter of Rich- ard, and famed screen beauty in her own right. Now she is Barbara Bennett Downey, and very much "that one" to radio's tenor king. The words were "Goodnight, lover." The voice that uttered them was Morton Downey's.
Most of the vast radio audience missed the words entirely, and heard only the silver voice raised in songs that warmed their hearts and thrilled them. Barbara thrilled to the songs, too, but when the song was ended, and the famous voice stilled, she was intent for the "Goodnight, lover," which was hers alone. It was their little secret for a long time, and it puzzled the nation. until Sammy gave it away. Sammy is the callboy at CBS, and it happened one night that he overheard Morton Downey call his wife "lover."
THEY are lovers-to each other and to the world. From the time of the first meet-
ing under the glare of the Kleig lights and the tension of the movie studios, their ro- mance has been the love story of America's ideal couple. Luckily enough, the picture that brought them together was "Lucky In Love." The result of a whirl -wind three-week court- ship (and maybe a little luck) has proved the title to have been aptly chosen. Morton Downey is a great believer in Lady Luck any- way. He carries two good luck charms on each end of a watchless watch chain, and they certainly work overtime!
Before the happy couple could scamper off Dn their honeymoon, there was an eight weeks' engagement at the Casanova Club in New York to be thought of. All that was back in 1929, and Downey had not yet been intro- duced to the radio audience that has since
By Larry White
raised him to such heights. After the Casa- nova engagement was over they packed up and went to Palm Beach for that delayed honeymoon. Palm Beach was at the height of its most d:lightful season, and even a little livelier because of the happiness of a
certain pair of honeymooners.
THE honeymoon over, the Downeys turned to home-building. They built a lovely
little home in Westchester, New York City's beautiful suburban area, and settled down to
>.;. :.. ._ .....
Mr. and Mrs. Morton Downey AND Morton, Jr.
Downeys planning for the future. The nursery was carefully planned, and the newlyweds looked forward to the time when it would really, be used. Barbara had her new car, so she was able to run into town whenever she liked. Morton sang as he had never sung before, and his voice had a new inspiration. He opened his own Club Delmonico, and it was from here that he was first heard over the radio. His inspired singing made him a radio favorite from the very start. Fan mail poured in, imitators sprang up everywhere, sponsors dickered for his services, and he was given a nightly seven -o'clock period. He has become the outstanding tenor of the air waves. A far cry indeed from the days when his singing was heard only on New York, New Haven, and Hartford railroad coaches, where he was a news and confection vender who found that his singing stimulated sales. Downey believes faithfully in luck and love!
Then he became the Camel minstrel boy on the Camel quarter hour, and began to whisper the now famous "Goodnight, lover" into the microphone. For a long time these whispered words attracted no attention. It was simply the private little confidence of Morton and Barbara. Those who didn't hear them over the radio didn't matter to the lovers. Those who did were just mystified, for the story had not gotten round. When the true mean- ing became known he discontinued the mur- mured greeting, for it was no longer their own little secret.
AND now the long -looked -for day has come when the Downey nursery is being put to
its intended use. The little room is now filled with the coos and gurgles of a baby boy. Morton was just as worried as a worried hus- band can be, right up until the moment he be- came a proud father. Always the showman, but first the lover he had a phone Installed backstage in the Capitol Theater in New York City, where he was then appearing, so be could talk directly with Barbara at the hospital. And while sonny was being brought into the world, daddy was greeting him to the tune of "Welcome Home, Little Stranger."
' "Goodnight, lover," will often be whispered again, but privately, now. And Morton must not forget to add "Goodnight, sonny!"
WHAT HAPPENS TO FAN MAIL? -- YOU'D NEVER GUESS
THERE'S no doubt about it, fan mail is the pulse that beats through the lives of
radio stars. Do they take it seriously? Of course they do. But put yourself in the position of an average microphone slave. His day is a full one. The batch of fan mail he receives, if he reads it all personally, might take four or five hours, for some of them are pages long, in fine handwriting. What would you do in a case like that? It is hard enough to find a breathing space in the day.
Then consider the position of the radio fan. He is taking time out of his day to write his favorite star a letter, either com- plimentary, or with an axe to grind. He may even feel like confiding to him, or asking him a favor. Naturally, the fan expects per- sonal attention. Often, fan letters do get individual attention, and I am about to ex- plain when, and where and how and why.
A radio fan, as we admitted before, act- ually controls the destinies of programs, and helps to usher in new trends-comedians, torch singers, drama; the fan soon indicates whether he wants more of each, or less. However, the illusion of the average radio fan, that he is the only pebble on the beach, is erroneous.
FOR often fans demand aid that could only be accomplished with Aladdin's Lamp. The
easiest thing to grant is request numbers,- but not always at the date, and at the mo- ment, requested. Take for instance the case of the young man who has been attempting for some time to,,work^ up .courage to prow"
By Margaret King pose to his girl. He is sure he won't feel so nervous if he can only have the proper music background to lend atmosphere as he pops the question. (Therefore, Bing Downey, will you please sing "I Surrender Dear" on Febraury 2, 12 p. m., 1933?) Poor Bing, even if he chose this request out of others, he might have difficulty to time the num- ber so that the strains would reach the ears of the young couple at the desired moment.
Other fans, well-meaning, but hard to please, ask if an artist won't please repeat a program scheduled last Saturday evening. They had been looking forward to it, but were called suddenly out of the house.
Between giving compliments, begging an autographed picture, or asking questions that ought to go to Dorothy Dix, the stars receive a flux of mail, particularly good-hearted, understanding individuals like Tony Wons, with his homely philosophy, and Kate Smith with her cheerful voice. The answer is that for the ordinary fan letter, the stars employ secretaries who convey acknowledgement and thanks from the star to the fan. The more unusual letters are always read carefully by the star, and often answered personally by the more conscientious.
TAKE Kate Smith first. She draws a great deal of fan mail from housewives.
More than once has Kate dictated a recipe for devil's food cake to go to a housewife beyond the Mason Dixon or. West of ' the,
Rockies. Shut-ins and invalids seem to be particularly heartened by Kate, and you know that she sends messages to her fans, has visited many personally, and drops into hospitals and sanitariums frequently, to give them a smile and a tune on the spot. Kate too, obliges requests for autographed prints. Prints are expensive, and there are few stars who can afford to distribute them to fans, however much they would like to.
AND that reminds me of the Boswell Sisters, who whimsically .turn the tables,
and reply with requests for photographs of their fans. They want to know what their audience looks like, they assert. Martha is the Boswell who enjoys answering fan mail. Here, incidentally, is an excerpt from their fan mail:
"Dear Connie, Vet and Martha: No doubt you had early struggles too. Well, I'm hav- ing mine and am wondering if you would do me a teeny, weeny favor. I am learning to play the banjo and because I live in an apartment, the neighbors object. So I've got the unusual idea of fooling them by doing my practice along with the playing of the radio-that is, accompanying the pro- grams by ear, and I find that you girls have got just the style I want. However, I don't seem to get the exact pitch, or tuning, and wonder if you would oblige by singing next Monday, 'Hand Me Down My Walking Cane' in the key of E flat, so as I'll know,.
and you can leave out that funny break at the beginning so as not to throw me off the time. Thanks in advance."
Tony Wons gets great batches of mail each day. Tony takes his fan mail prob- ably more seriously than any star 1 know, and they all do. His is full of human prob- lems-and of course his program. "Tony's Scrap Book" is aimed straight at peace of mind, anyhow. Tony, as is the case with other stars, leaves the ordinary compliments and requests to be acknowledged by his secretaries, but he answers from thirty to forty letters a day, which seem to need his personal attention, for they expound real problems, and look to him for comment and help.
A short time ago, a woman wrote in to Tony to tell him that her six -weeks -old baby had died, and she was so unhappy that she had thought of suicide. She almost went out of her mind over the great loss, and kept asking herself why she had been per- mitted to possess the child for six weeks, grow to love it, fasten hopes around it- then have it taken from her. She went to her doctor. He urged her to find diversion and try to forget. She went to her priest. He told her that God knows best. Then she went to Tony. He would not tell us what he told her, but it came straight from his heart, and he did not merely leave it at "God knows best." What he said was evi- dently comforting, for she wrote him a let- ter of deep appreciation, and sent him a basket of fruit.

How the Funnyboners Got That Way1 By Lee RoneIl
LADIES and gentlemen . . . the Funnyboners! Dave Grant, Gor-
don Graham and Bunny Coughlin. Three guys with one funny bone a piece. And take it from me . .
one's enough for anybody! They're CBS stars. Considering the singing, gagging, spoofing trio as a whole I'll say they're all tall, all Boston bred and all very bad examples of polite behavior. They're polite, of course, up to a limit. After that . . . it's a matter of "what the dickens do we care" attitude toward life, living . .
and piano arrangements. Curiously enough, although each Funnyboner blends into the Funnyboner unit per- fectly . . . as to vocal range, ability to write gags, reasonable disposition, and serious outlook on success of 'Funnyboners" as a whole . . . each one of the three differs radically from the other in personality traits. "We get along swell" the three boys sing in chorus. But the getting along swell is limited to rehearsals, broadcasts, be- nefits and business appearances. They all lead their separate lives . . meet- ing only to be funny . . . and then wend their ways back to their wives!
IET'S take Dave Grant, frinstance. I'll J have to take these boys separately. Con-
sidering them all together would get you nowhere because when they all talk together (that is, all excepting Bunny, who says that around this season of the year he's a silent knight) they don't make sense. They re- fused to be interviewed seriously and inter- spersed my perfectly legitimate questions about likes, dislikes and aims with r lot of silly nonsense. Such as "I like peanut butter sandwiches with chili sauce on 'em" and "I've got eight kids with no shoes" and "I'd like to be an old man with a beard."
We were taking Dave Grant, I believe. Dave's a nice felow with a lean face and brown eyes and a lean 5 foot 11 inches. He's twenty-eight years old and has a little baby daughter named Sally. Dave got married in that boom year 1929 and he had every reason to. Only immediately after his marriage, the stock market crashed. And Dave, whose business was selling stocks at the time, found himself with an awfully nice wife on his hands but no cash to speak of. Something about margins, I think he men- tioned. Of course he had a kind of band he'd formed back in the days of Boston "Tech which went around to colleges playing for hops and things. But it was just a band. That is, until a saxophone player named Bunny Coughlin joined up with Dave and the two discovered that they could "kind oÌ" sing. That, of course, led to needing another singer for a trio, which explains Gordon. Of course it doesn't explain Gordon f in full. Nothing does. Gordon is one of these almost insane persons who stands and holds a floor lamp while he talks so as to give a better distribution of light to the room. He makes faces all the time and the other two are no better. They aid and abet this Graham man until not even Dave, who is the most reasonable of the three, knows that time is slipping by and they haven't finished a new arrangement for tomorrow's broadcast.
SO when Gordon (who, the other two told me, really has a "voice") loomed upon
the band stand, the three got some idea that radio might be able to use three voices with- out a guitar. So they rented a cellar some- where with a piano and for two weeks sung

The Funnyboners at work, funnyboning
and arranged and finally completed four songs . . . their entire repertoire at the moment. Armed with the four songs, the boys set out for a Boston agency and bumped smack into three other boys, coming out. They didn't look very cheerful. And as it turned out . . . they weren't. They had just been fired . . and the combina- tion of Dave, Gordon and Bunny was hired in their stead, after just answering the ques- tion "Can you sing?" "lt shows what radio was a couple of years ago," said Dave. "We were hired for a commercial to go over four stations, without even singing a note. May- be we wouldn't have been hired if we'd sung. Happy days!"
Before Gordon met Dave, he'd had a little series of ups and downs. Gordon's only twenty-four . . . in spite of his six foot four and a black moustache and looking older. He has loving -cup ears, too-which wriggle. He'd finished Dartmouth, come down to New York, rehearsed in a Broadway show for six weeks, and it only ran four days. gone up to Utica, New York and played stock. Meanwhile he was' dramatic critic for a news sheet up there . . . and despite the good reviews he gave his stock company . . . with special notices for "the excellent portrayal by Mr. Gordon Graham," the company folded . . . and left same Mr. Graham minus two weeks pay. "Life was just a pain s I went back to Boston," said he gangling Mr. Graham. "Life is still a pain"
he says, smiling a smile which belies his statement.
tC'MON you two" says I, "tell or. Gordon. What about him?" "Ile reads" says
Bunny, with a discouraging look on his chubby pan. "No!" says 1. "Really," Dave puts in very seriously, "Gordon's an intellect. Reads books . . . like the Decameron, frinstance. And other things I can't pro- nounce." "I don't read anything but news- papers," says Bunny, proudly. "Haven't read a book in well nigh fifty years." (Bunny counts twenty-six twelve -months). "And Gordon was the director of the Dartmouth Glee Clib," adds Dave, proudly. Dave and Bunny take a great deal of pride in the Graham person. And while they're taking pride in him Gordon just sits with a coy
look on his face and his hands folded behind his chin to cover his embarrassment . It seems that Gordon really has a voice and got in the Dartmouth Glee Club despite his height. When he first tried out he wasn't accepted. The Dartmouth singers were com- paratively speaking "singer's midgets' and Gordon loomed heads above the other voices.
What about Bunny? Well, most about Bunny was that his car was parked in an hour parking space and if he got a ticket he was going to be plenty indignant. Bunny doesn't look like the sort of person who could possibly be indignant, however. He's chubby, with nice blue eyes and blonde hair and has a very peaceable disposition.
Neither of the three show any inclination toward "temperament." And all three main- tain that "we're just three boys trying to get along funny." But of course you can tell that from their theme song, which goes "We've no theme song," and from their own ether night club from which they broadcast on Saturday evenings . . . to wit, the Club Sandwich.
'I''l1EY work together smoothly and well. Dave and Bunny write the scripts and
make the arrangements. Dave plays the piano and does the vocal "bompf" effects.
They put on a special little show for an audience of one which proved to that same audience of one that the Funnyboners may be very silly away from their grouping around Dave's piano . but grouped around it, the boys know their stuff. They enjoy singing . Bunny keeps right on chewing gum while he's singing and Dave and Gordon sneak cigarette puffs in between notes with a practiced skill. They never get into serious arguments, although each one voices his opinion as to the best way of doing a number or the best way of putting it across. Three opinions are set forth, argument pro and con takes place, and "We manage to arrive at the best solution with- out any bones broke," says Dave, explaining the Funnyboners' method of working to- gether. And as I watched them work, I
noted that the startling things about Dave, Gordon and Bunny is that there isn't a drop of high -horse in any one of them. Just three kids.
As Hear It
-Be Your Own Critic__ RADIO GUIDE will pay five dollars each
week for the winning "As I Hear It" letter, and will publish those criticisms which are judged nearly as good as an honorary mention. Criti- cisms should not exceed 200 words, should be impartial. Opinions are those of the individual listener and RADIO GUIDE is not responsible for them. Address letters to the "As I Hear It Editor."
This Week's Winner ROSES AND DRUMS-heard over CBS- WGN, December 25.
The Roses and Drums historical revue provides a well-balanced and smooth thirty minute program.
Especially was this true of "The Spy." It took you into the Southern and Northern camps during the Civil War, brought you face to face with the perplexing problems facing the war lords; thrilled you with the escapades of the Northern spy; and gave a powerful character study of that great his- torical figure, Stonewall Jackson. De Wolf Hopper was fine in his role of Jackson, but not so good as a commercial barker. The commercial part, however, was short and educational. That's something!
It's powerful drama, is "Roses and Drums," thrilling in its terrific sweep and strength. It's convincing, engrossing, startling, and breath -taking. Don't let the historical back- ground scare you away. You'll eat it up.
Betty and Gordon provide moments of heart-warming romance that heat the ether waves with tender love. Betty has a fine voice, full of southland beauty. That goes for Gordon, too. Hopper's dramatic ability is unquestioned. The entire program is bathed in local color and atmosphere, and is to be recommended.
Rudolph G. Jorgenson, 406 South Madison Ave., Stoughton, Wis.

Honorary Mention ROBERT BURNS PROGRAM-heard De- cember 21 over Columbia and KMOX.
This program rates four stars on anyone's review, denoting extraordinary. Any critic of entertainment, especially those familiar with broadcasting, will not hesitate in chalking up a perfect score to the broadcast listed above. It has diversified entertainment to please the taste of the most particular listener.
Guy Lombardó s orchestral arrangements are superb. Burns and Allen clicked to a fast moving line of nonsense that produced humor and comedy of paramount style. People find these comedians the greatest pro- ducers of smiles, with a creation interest founded on the eternal question: "What is coming next?"
The listener would suggest one addition or correction to this program. The Royal Canadians bring out melodies in tunes we probably have heard before, but it is hard to know all of them, and remembering titles is rather difficult. The names of the songs played should be announced either individ- ually or in groups of three.
Pat Sublett, Oklahoma City, Okla. tit
TEXACO PROGRAM WITH ED WYNN- heard over NBC.
I try to listen to the Texaco program be- cause the Fire Chief is well worthy of my attention. His quip on why we like Lafayette -because he was the first Frenchman to come across-is likely to become a classic.
But-the broadcasting studio has an audi- ence of its own and they are within range of the microphone. Their applause is so loud that many of the jokes are drowned out. They make the radio listener, who wants to believe that the program is for. him, feel that he is only an eavesdropper and that the studio audience has the first call.
1 implore the program director to hold the applause of the local listeners to a mere murmur or less and give us radio listeners a chance.

Music in the dir By Carleton Smith
WALTER D.\MROSCI-1 seems to be the center of considerable controversy in his
later days. No end of furore stirred the musical pedagogues of the country after he made statements during two of his broadcasts last Spring about at- tendance and study at music schools. Fie said then that he could recommend only two schools, the Juillard in New York and Fon- tainebleau in France. It was pointed out that the name of Damrosch had been connected with both, and the broadcasting company was beseiged with protests.
A few months ago, the venerable "dean" of American conductors took issue with Leo- pold Stokowski over the question of educating children. This is a field in which Doctor Damrosch considers himself an authority, and he strenously opposed offering the Phila- delphia conductor's experiments in modern music to children, labelling the attempt as criminal.
Stokowski continued in his course, retorting that he had noticed children like and under- stand modern music, and find it less dif- ficult of comprehension than classical. This is true, he thinks, because it is an expression of their own time and their own way of thinking and feeling. And Mr. Stokowski said he was not forcing his music on anybody, that he felt strongly that children should not take part in any music unless they were at- tracted to it.
CARL.ETON SMITH
An Attack I
TfILS, however, did not end the discussion, and a few days later the New York Times
published a letter: "To the Music Editor:
For many years-too many years, alas!-we have been compelled to listen to the outpouring of the venerable doctor, whose greatest claim to musical prominence seems to be that he had a relative, father or grandfather, or something like that, of the same surname-Leopold Damrosch.
The orchestra for some years under his direction, the New York Symphony Orchestra, died a lingering, painful and uplamented death. It was never, in its palmiest days, a first-class organization, and I seriously doubt if, apart from its splendid guest conductors, it ever had a good resident con- ductor. Everyone tired of it, even its supporting millionaires, and it seemed a happy release for us
Bruno \\'alter, one of the world's out- standing conductors, will wave his baton over the New York Philharmonic Sym- phony Orchestra over CBS-WGN from 2
to 4 p. m. Sundays, for nine weeks.
all. But the ghost continues to haunt us, and there is no rest in sight.
When this orchestra died, amid general rejoicing, Dr. Walter Damrosch and his manager, George Engles, were sadly in need of jobs. Like many
others, they betook themselves over to Fifth Avenue and fastened themselves upon the directors of radio, men skilled in finance, but veritable children walking in the darkness where music was con- cerned. Radio was their legitimate prey, and since the entry of Damrosch into radio and so- called musical broadcasting, we have been burdened with the distressing voice and the frightful accent. He speaks with overpowering condescension of 'my friends, my children, my horns, my clarinets, my trombones and my everything else,' including 'my God.' Everything he speaks of is in the pos- sessive case, except possibly, 'My Blue Heaven,' by another composer!
Just as Mr. Damrosch came into his musical beginning by snatching the baton from the scarcely cold hands of the late Leopold Damrosch, so will another and greater Leopold-Leopold Stokowski- with one of his lightning strokes of genius, strike a blow (we all fervently hope) that will put an end to Damrosch and his 'possessive case' music.
Mr. Damrosch speaks as if he had invented both music and Wagner. We are all tired of him and his prattle as a 'great American musician.' If he is the great American musician, able to preach musical doctrines to native children, then I am both Mahatma Gandhi and Sir Harry Lauder, able to work miracles. He has little to do with Americans, and his blatant presumption that he is the father of all musical children here is as ridiculous as it is unwarranted and unnecessary.
Fortunately, we have Toscanini and other younger conductors right here in our midst. Let us have the Gotterdammerung of the Gotterdammerosch. Let us have done, once for all, with his self - adopted children, his horns, his tubas and his braying. He has had his day. Nay, he has had his generation. He has seen the handwriting on the wall.
His whole attitude of mind, like his clowning on 'the director's stand in front of a grinning or- chestra, are sad commentaries on the extreme tolerance of the great musical public of this country."
Followers of Doctor Damrosch rallied to his support. Hundreds wrote letters and the rimes was kept busy publishing them. Most of them were astounded at the personal at- tack upon their favorite leader.
No doubt Doctor Damrosch has more fol- lowers in this country than any other con- ductor. And this, in spite of the fact that musicians have never looked to him for particularly inspired interpretations. He has appealed to the public at large by his per- sonality, his suavity and his arresting voice. And he has done immeasurable good in culti- vating the taste for that which is best. He has prepared the way for an understanding of the greater interpreters who have followed him.
In this dispute about music for children, it seems to nie that a judicious selection of both the old and the new, served together, is the only sensible course. The various musical vitamins thus give balance to the tonal diet.
Musicians' Emergency Aid I
DOCTOR DAMROSCII has also been the champion of many worthy causes. 1 -lis
enemies say he is interested for publicity purposes. Recently, they say, several hundred paid fifty cents and a dollar admission to watch him sit for a portrait. But the money went to charity, and the good that is done remains, notwithstanding.
Among his present activities is the Musi- cians' Emergency Aid Concerts, the third of which is to be given Wednesday in Madison Square Garden. Bruno Walter will conduct an all-Tschaikowsky program, with Gabri- lowitsclt as the soloist. Great music is heard at these concerts. Paderewski gave a recital last season. Fritz Kreisler and Rachmaninoff are going to join forces on the final program in April, and Mr. Damrosch is presenting a great pageant with a cast of 1500 later in the month.
The proceeds of these excellent programs are to create a permanent fund for the relief of unemployed musicians. Many of the most gifted artists are children in financial matters. Occasional help will enable then to contribute to society their best as musicians.
Perhaps these concerts could be broadcast. I am certain the radio listeners-some of them, at least-would be willing contributors.

The two gentlemen in the background are Molasses 'n' January, and the others, reading in the usual direction, are Muriel Wilson, Lanny Ross, Annette Hanshaw and Charles \Vinninger (Captain Henry).
Reviewing Radio -By Mike Porter
(Continued from Page Ten) Al Jolson, Rudy Vallee, Arthur Tracy. (Not including comedians). Seven most distinguished women:
Kate Smith, Gertrude Berg (Tire Gold- bergs), Virginia Rea, Jessica Dragonette, Gracie Allen, Julia Sanderson and Ruth Etting. Seven best commentators:
Edwin C. 11111, Frederick William Wile, William Ilard, Lowell Thomas, Floyd Gibbons, Kaltenborn and Walter \Winchell. Seven ace comics:
Jack Pearl, Marx Brothers, Ed Wynn, Eddie Cantor, Fred Allen, Jack Benny and Stoopnagle and Budd.
1 -las the radio audience a sense of humor? You're asking me? Look what the listener - inners sent some of the artists for Christmas:
Peggy Healy, the Whiteman torch singer, received a bicycle.
Roy Bargy, the Whiteman pianist: a pair of skis.
Rudy Vallee: a crate of grapefruit from California.
Ray Knight: a cuckoo whistle. Edith Meiser (who writes the Sherlock
Holmes business) : a box of cigars. Jack Pearl: a German joke book. Kelvin Keech: a set of earrings. Jessica Dragonette: photograph of a
parrot sitting before a radio set. Howard Chaney: an oversize nightshirt. Leo Reisman: a baton. He never uses
one, preferring a violin bow. Walter O'Keefe: a pair of andirons.
He has lived in a hotel for many years. Ben Alley: a ponderous book, entitled
"Mighty Men of Minnesota." Morton Downey: a tube of mustache
wax. Anson Weeks: a set of saxophone reeds.
He plays the piano. Jane Froman: a trained goose. Evans Plummer: a crate of prunes. How do I know, Mr. Plummer? Was it
you who sent me the dynamite?

Applause to Boo -Boo Muskegon, Mich.
Dear "Voice": I have been reading the GUIDE ever since
it first came out and can honestly say I have never found cause for criticism until the Christmas number. Here is why this letter now turns from applause to boo-boo.
In the "Editor's Mail Box" column LeRoy Chapin, of Aberdeen, South Dakota, asked in- formation concerning Welcome Lewis. And the reply was: "Welcome Lewis has faded out of sight at present, and is not on the air." iWell, here is some information: Neither has Welcome Lewis faded nor is she out of sight. Any radio artist who has such a large follow- ing as Miss Lewis could never fade. Her grand interpretations of popular songs will long be a memory to her radio public. And for the benefit of her fan in South Dakota, he will be enrolled as a member of her fan club if he'll just drop a line to the Welcome Lewis Fan Club, 1818 Nevada St., Muskegon, Michigan. Miss Lewis no doubt will return to the air in 1933.

The Cute Swedes Paducah, Kentucky
Dear Editor: Couldn't you print some pictures of Swen
Swenson and his Swedehearts? I think they are so cute. If you could tell us some things about him, I think your magazine would be just perfect.
I wish to compliment your program depart- ment for the accuracy of the programs in the RADIO GUIDE. They are much better than any we can get from the daily papers down here.
Barry Smith %to
Music in Our Ears Decatur, Illinois
Dear Editor: Congratulations on your anniversary; in
the year that you hay.e been telling us about radio programs you have certainly improved.
RADIO GUIDE has more intere3ting features than it used to have. I like them all. But for me you do not tell enough about the good musical programs. My suggestion for 1933 is that you give your music critic more space to tell us about all the programs.. What he writes now is very interesting. I read and enjoy every word because I am helped in my 'desire to understand the best musical pro- grams, but he does not cover enough things.
I like Mike Porter's column, and in this issue was glad to read the explanatory things about radio. More facts and less gossip- Inake that your motto.

So We're All Wet Richmond, Va.
Dear Sirs: Your magazine is all wet. You try to make
heroes and heroines out of radio stars when actually they're no more talented than a lot of people who never got a break. I don't see why they should be paid two or three thou- sand a week just to sing or crack dull jokes on the air. What I say is this: Play phonograph
and give the money records on all the stations to the unemployed.
Bouquet at
A Virginian
Legion Peoria, Ill.
Dear Sirs: This is my first letter to your weekly
standby, and I wish to throw a bouquet to a program. "The Foreign Legion." The pro- gram of yesterday should take the whole plum orchard. I would like to see pictures of the entire cast published in RADIO GUIDE.

Voice of the Listener: Would like you to know that I am a weekly
reader of the RADIO GUIDE and wouldn't miss it for anything. Often we have more than one RADIO GUIDE around the house and it doesn't do any harm. In fact, mostly it prevents scraps.
Anyway, here's a bushel of prunes to Porter and a barrel of plums to Plummer; together they deserve razzberries. They're rotten. They should try criticizing themselves and they might make some progress.
Ginger H
Yes, Why Don't We South Bend, Indiana
Gentlemen: To come right to the point, I think your
magazine isn't all it's cracked up to be and especially the log of programs. Looking for a program in RADIO GUIDE is like working out a Chinese puzzle. 'When you improve I'll buy it. Another thing, why don't you print let- ters like this instead of all the letters of praise you print?
M. Larsen
The Goldberg Organ Bennington, Vermont
Editor: I enjoy the RADIO GUIDE increasingly al-
though I do not alway agree with Plummer as to who gets plums or prunes, but every- one has a right to his or her opinion.
I do wonder why such poor programs are kept on and good ones let go. But what I
really wrote for is this-what is the matter with the organ on "Goldbergs." It only plays part of the theme song. The orchestra stÄtitietcled much better anyway.

Long Live the King! Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sirs: Who call displace Paul Whiteman as King
of the orchestra leaders? Who, just tell me! Whiteman always was the greatest band leader in the country and he always will be.
Of course, I like Ben Bernie, too. Also Wayne King and Jack Denny. But White - man's music is so smooth and rhythmic that no other band can compare with it. It is be- yond a doubt the best band on the air.

No La, De Daa-ing Toledo, Ohio
Dear Editor: May I offer my sincere congratulations on
your Christmas and Anniversary issue of RADIO GUIDE. Your magazine finds its way into my home each week. I would not miss an issue for worlds!
The letter of Miss Leota Ileims, referring to Rudy Vallee as tiresome, is ridiculous. A short time ago I read an article quoting Paderewski as saying that most people hear music with the ears only. In my humble opinion, this seems to be the case with all the anti -Vallee audience, for anyone who really knows music must admit that Rudy is an authority on music.
We never hear Vallee la, de, daa-ing. I -le sings the songs as they should be sung, also the way most people enjoy hearing them. Rudy's Fleischmann IIour broadcast is easily the ace spot of the air.

Great Big Hand Galesburg, Ill.
Gentlemen: Congratulations on your Christmas and
Anniversary number. It was a knock-out. I ve been a reader of RADIO GUIDE for some time and it is the best paper for five cents to be bought anywhere.
I've been reading what some of the readers have to say and here's my opinion. Let's give the radio artists we like a big hand but why knock the others as I'm sure that all of them are trying their level best to please the radio audience and trying is all that anyone can do. Ruth F. Swanson

Chicago, Ill. Voice of the Listener:
Now that we are about to start a new year, why don't we forget what has happened during the past year? Why not try to be optimistic and cheerful instead of crying about conditions? Being associated somewhat with radio, I have noticed a certain type of song that is being used on the networks and local stations quite frequently. This particular type of song will not make people feel that conditions are better. It makes them feel gloomy and depressed.

Don't Forget Denny New York City
Dear Friends: "A Lover of Good Dance Music," and Mrs.
\V. W. Vance, from Birmingham, Ala., listed the orchestras they considered the best, both of them omitting Jack Denny, greatest of them all.
Those people may enjoy dance music but I don't think they appreciate a truly fine orchestra. May I take this opportunity, also, to give out three bouquets-one to the Revelers Quartet, another to the Keller Sisters and Lynch, and last but not least, one to Rudy Vallee, always a favorite.
I regret to say, however, that I still cannot understand why Guy Lombardo has such a large following. Best wishes for your con- tinued success.

He Likes the Irish Imp Indianapolis, Ind.
Dear Sirs: I wish to call RADIO GUIDE readers' atten-
tion to Happy Felton's orchestra, that has just started on the CBS chain from the Governor Clinton Hotel, New York. The orchestra is one of the best on the air today and Verna Burke, contralto, is in a class by herself for personality.
