Radio mirror (May-Oct 1937)

with a definite offer. The sample program consisted of Powell as emcee, Leo Forbstein's band, the Dudley Chambers chorus of forty voices, and Edward G. Robinson, Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart in a scene from "Kid Galahad." * * * ESPRIT DE VAUDE— When Block and Sully came to Hollywood for a guest spot, Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor and Burns and Allen, all of whom used to work in vaudeville with the veteran team, pitched in and helped them prepare material, constituting Hollywood's highest priced battery of gag writers. * * * HOUSE FOR SALE— It is a fact that Charlie Butterworth and the missus have definitely separated. The house Charlie is building in Holmby Hills will be put up for sale when it is completed. * * * POINTS OF VIEW— The New York gossip columnist who likes to talk about himself tells friends movie work is arduous and nerve wracking, but Irvin S. Cobb, who ought to know, contradicts with "I like to work in pictures because, although it is a little hard on the feet, it affords complete mental relaxation." * * * WHAT'S MERE MONEY? — Although he could make a lot more money by staying in Hollywood, Joe E. Brown loves baseball so much he's going to stay in Chicago from April to October to broadcast the ball games locally for a breakfast food concern. * * * PREMON ITION — John Miltern, veteran Hollywood character actor, went to see "Rainbow on the River" with his friend Basil Rathbone. Miltern was so impressed by Bobby Breen's singing he said to his friend: "When I die I'd love to have that boy sing my requiem." Three days later Miltern was killed by a hit-and-run motorist — and Rathbone got Bobby to sing "Ave Maria" at the funeral! * * * WEDDING BELLS— Joy Hodges will marry Don Barry, of RKO, as soon as he finishes work on "The Woman 1 Love." He's given her an engagement gift of a pair of silver foxes. There will be a job for a preacher shortly too when Barbara Luddy and Johii Gibson set out to live cheaper than one. They have been shopping for a San Fernando valley homesite. HE'S OFF!— Joe Hernandez' work in calling the races at Santa Anita over a local station landed him a CBS network job of broadcasting the 1 100,000 handicap, a well-deserved tribute to the best race broadcaster your correspondent has ever heard.
