Bashful —
ELSIE FINN, Record film critic, who coauthored the Lily Pons opus, "I DREAM TOO MUCH," said she thought RKO did a right good job of her brain child when RKO Manager FRANK McNAMEE arranged a screening for her.

HIGHLIGHTS
Of Variety Banquet
Toastmaster Georgie Jessel outdid himself. Even Cantor couldn't have been funnier.
Do not fail to ask someone who was there to tell you Ken Murray's joke about Mr. Dionne, the quintuplet king.
Poor Herbert J. Yates was unfortunate enough to be out of the room at the moment Jessel called him to take a bow. Thereafter, Mr. Yates came in for a terrific ribbing about spending so much of his time in the well-known "can."
Lou Nizer certainly copped whatever prize was offered for the best speaker. His "business is business" speech hit home so directly that it brought a two-minute ovation at its conclusion.
Harry Thomas was either too bashful or too full (of food, we mean) to stand up and take a bow when they called on him.
Some of the gentlemen haven't caught their breath yet after viewing that gorgeous blonde N. T. G. showed them.
Deserving of the lion's share of praise for the handsome staging of the affair are: Leonard Schlesinger, Lou Davidoff, Charles Goodwin and Charles Zagrans. These boys worked hard and the result was a striking compliment to their ability.
Crosby to Columbia After Next for Paramount
