Or -If You Don't Like It Satisfied I was glad to see the article "Smile, Darnya, Smile" on the KHJ Merrymakers in the July-August number. At our house we are all crazy about this program, and when we saw it in RADIO DOINGS, it made it all the better.' Now we can sit and listen, and know just how they all look.— CARRIE M. M., GLENDALE. • The Revealing Light I have always thought Lee Morse was colored, until I saw her picture for the first time in last month's RADIO DOINGS. I can't imagine where I got the idea; probably just one of those impressions one gets. That just shows how one can get all mixed up on his conceptions of radio personalities. Please use plenty of pictures. — JACK G., BEVERLY HILLS. • Salting the Egg Mrs. T. M. T. wrote in last month's "As You Like It" that Harry Barris was as the proverbial egg without salt, without his old Rhythm Boy side-kick, Bing Crosby. For my part, I think they are each doing better work and will be more popular since they have separated. I think Harry is as clever as ever alone, or with the Three Ambassadors, as he was before; and I also believe Bing is as good, or better than he was with the other boys. — P. R. C, ALHAMBRA. • No Name, No Picture For goodness sakes, and mine, don't publish any pictures if you can't give the names. It is a terrible disappointment to us radio fans. We have the pictures and don't know who they are. How about some pictures of the Optimistic Doughnut artists? — ARTHUR M. E. N., SHELTON, WASH. • At Your Command For once I want to tell you that you certainly picked out a good program to write about when you chose "Flat Feet." I think it is even better than Amos and Andy. I also want to tell you how well I liked the article itself. It told me everything I had wanted to know about Dugan V Dailey, as I have been wishing I could get some information about them for a long time. How about a story on the "Three Doctors," on Columbia? I think they are good, too. — J. E. R., SANTA ANA. Believe It or Not After hearing Noreen Gammill in "Knights of the Road," with Gleason and Armstrong, I find it almost impossible to believe it is the same girl whose story appeared in the last issue. Her "little sister" part was perfect. And those pictures — I would never have dreamed a good-looking girl like her could make up so good as she did as the "Old Gossip" and the "Cockney." — MRS. H. S., GLENDORA. Didn't You Miss the July Issue? If you can get one, may we have a picture of Don Ricardo, KHJ, in the next issue? And I would be interested in seeing pictures of all those included in the Merrymakers at KHJ, and any others, should there be any new members on the staff, and am very anxious to see pictures of Jack and Grace, KHJ, and one alone of the thin cop, Dailey, KFWB. Is this order too large? Regarding Russ Columbo, he far surpasses Bing Crosby as to real melody in his singing. I believe his voice is more restful and not as rough as Bing's. — OLIVE C, AMESBURY, MASS. "Not That I Don't Like It — " Do not understand (if you treat all alike), why or how some can write in "As You Like It," compliments, etc. I have nothing good to say of it since the first of the year. Not that I don't like the magazine, but what's the use, when one receives it a month too late. I desire the program from first of the month. Why the delay?—MRS. R., LONG BEACH. Men Wanted Don't you suppose we girls ought to have a break pretty soon? You always have a picture of a girl on the cover, but never any good-looking men. How about it? I will have to admit, though, that I was awfully glad to see the article and picture of Ted White in the DOINGS. For ae long time I've heard how handsome he was, and had been wanting to see him. So if you will use more pictures of men, I believe there are a lot of other girls who will be as pleased as I will.— SARAH L., SAN BERNARDINO.
