is zat so? A COMEDY pair of stage and screen fame, Jimmy Gleason and Bob Armstrong, bring their funmaking talents to the microphone in a breezy serial, "Knights of the Road. ' They will go on the air over KMJ, Fresno; KFWB, Los Angeles; KGW, Portland; KFBK, Sacramento; KGB, San Diego; KYA, San Francisco; KJR, Seattle; KGA, Spokane. The skit reveals the experiences and adventures of two young men touring the United States in search of ideas for the service station they are going to build when they get back home. Owing to the fact that both Gleason and Armstrong are now under contract in pictures, Gleason to RKO-Pathe, and Armstrong to Pathe, and are both making pictures, it has been necessary to use electrical transcriptions, made during periods when they were not on the motion picture lot. Through their work in the stage play, "Is Zat So," and the pictures, "Oh Yeah," and "Big Money," they have well earned the popularity they now enjov as a comedy team. They have both also scored recent outstanding individual successes, Gleason in "Beyond Victory," and "A Wise Child," and Armstrong in the "Iron Man," "The Racketeer," and "Big News." The program is being sponsored by the Union Oil Company. The Cradle of Talent (Continued from Page 23) spelled enchantment. Sweet, clear, with an indescribable guality that can only be designated as radio "it," Loyce's voice brought her to the notice of the theatrical world. Jovial, slightly corpulent Ted Dahl was noted around KFWB for the "mean" trumpet that he blew. Then he struck out for himself, formed his own band, which tooted nightly to amuse KFWB dialers. Fred Mackaye, young juvenile and well known to theatrical circles, was drafted into KFWB's dramatic service. Paula Wedekind, blonde, young German actress, with more than her share of feminine loveliness, was the most recent KFWB performer to get a "break." She played the lead one week in "French Miniatures;" the next week, she was the star of Jack Joy's musical comedy series, "The Romancing Racketeer." ▼ Plan Air Fiesta With manufacturers, broadcast stations, distributors and dealers participating, the Ninth Annual Los Angeles Radio and Electric Exposition will be held during the week of August 2 to 8, inclusive.
