ALLEN LA FEVER
TWENTIETH CENTURY MILO
Dear Editor:
I would like to know the name and age of the young man and the weight of the calf he lifted on the County Fair program about two years ago; also, the amount of money he realized from this. I am a listener of this program and have made a bet on the calf's weight at the time it was last lifted.
Mrs. J. C. Philadelphia, Pa.
It was in October, 1945, that Allen La Fever, then seventeen, began his attempt to emulate the Greek athlete Milo, who, about 520 B. C, lifted a calf each day until it became a cow. Allen's Phoebe then weighed a petite 75 pounds. On each succeeding Saturday Allen lifted Phoebe before the County Fair studio audience and, upon his accomplishment, was awarded a sum of money. Finally, on April 27, 1946, he regretfully called it quits when Phoebe topped 360 pounds. By this time he had amassed $4,700. Does this settle your bet?
LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL?
Dear Editor:
Please tell me what happened to Stephen on Life Can Be Beautiful on NBC. Did he really die? Also, I would like to know who plays Phil Crawford in the same serial. ALICE keinheart
Mr. E. L. D.
Norfolk, Va.
Yes, Stephen, played by John Holbrook, is dead. He succumbed to a heart attack caused by the death of his and Chichi's baby. Chichi is portrayed by Alice Reinheart, and here she is. Phil is played by Bud Collyer, who, incidentally, also undertakes the title role in Mutual's Superman.
STILL OFF THE AIR
Dear Editor:
I would like to know who played the role of Aunt Emily on the radio program Those We Love starring Donald Woods and Nan Grey. Your answer will settle a friendly
discussion about the program. Will it be
on the air again?
Miss M. H.
Pittsburgh, Pa.
This role was played by that veteran
ALMA KRUGER
CHUCK ACRES
of the acting world. Alma Kruger, who has been busy in motion pictures. You saw her in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay as well as in the popular Dr. Kildare pictures. Those We Love is still off the air.
MEMORY EXPERT
Dear Editor:
Please, please give us a picture of the man with the most fascinating voice on the air, the man who emcees Hint Hunt on the air daily over CBS. He is also on Saturday evenings for the Full 0 Pep program. I have never seen his name in print so will spell it as it sounds when pronounced— Chuck Acrees.
Mrs. H. F. G. Toledo, Ohio
Chuck Acree (omit the "s"), is a memory expert, too. He can read back fifty-two cards after one look at them. Occasionally^ for a Hint Hunt audience he does the same stunt with household articles listed by the women in the studio.
FAVORITE ACTOR
Dear Editor:
Some friends and I have chosen Matthew Crowley our favorite radio actor and we would like to see what he looks like. Also, we're interested in the boy who plays Robin on the Superman program. What's his name?
Miss N. F. C. Bristol, R. I!
Here's your choice — Matt Crowley, whom you knew as John in John's Other Wife and, until recently, Dr. James Brent in Road of Life. Ronny Liss is the lad who plays Robin in Superman.
THE DIXIELANDER
I would like to know where Janette Davis comes from. I enjoy her singing on CBS's Arthur Godfrey Show.
