Radio doings (Dec 1930-Jun1932)

A Big Order You said in your magazine that you would like to know what the fans want. Personally, I think your magazine is one of the best going— and it is the best radio magazine. In fact, I've never seen another that begins to touch it. But as for the things that we want, here are my favorites about whom or which I would like to have stories or pictures. First of all I'd like to have a picture, if not a story, of the characters in the "Crystal Cave" at KFOX, at 7:30 p. m. Next, a story and picture of "Chandu, the Magician" over KHJ at eight. You recently printed a story about the KTM (now KECA) Ranch boys and about Cecil and Sally, which I liked very much. Others features I would like to see are "The King's Men (KFWB) ; the entire group of artists on the Jamboree at KFRC. I am looking forward to seeing some of these stories in your magazine sometime soon. I know you had a story on the Blue Monday Jamboree, but I want pictures of all of them, instead of a few.— MARY B., HOLLYWOOD. Tickled We were all tickled to see the pictures and article about the "Three Doctors," of the Columbia System. I listen in every time they are on and think they are the funniest mortals on the air. I like them so well I clipped out their picture and pasted it on a piece of pasteboard. Every time I look at it I have to laugh. Whenever they're on I get out the pasteboard and have a good laugh all the time they are broadcasting.— MRS. J. S., BERKELEY. A Discovery I Say! I was listening on KGFJ the other night on the Family Hour, and they had a hot trio that was every bit as good as the old Rhythm Boys trio. They didn't tell their names, but they were certainly clever. If I didn't know that the Rhythem Boys had split up I would have sworn thehy were on the air that night. I hope we hear more of them, and that they tell who they are. — HARRY U., HOLLYWOOD. A Worthwhile Addition, Bill Well, I have my RADIO DOINGS for five months back, all stacked up beside the radio, and pretty nearly have them worn out. Every time a program comes on that I know I have some pictures of, I immediately take out the old DOINGS and keep it handy. How about an article and picture of the Boswells sometime, huh? That's something I need in my collection.— BILL H., BEVERLY HILLS. Well, We'll Try, Alma Your magazine is most interesting; in fact I can hardly wait for each issue. BUT — I want to correct one thing you said a couple of issues ago, when you were attempting to discourse so fluently on the Arizona Wranglers at KNX. You made the broad statement that only one of the boys had married, implying that all the rest were true cowboys who had no use for women. Let me set you straight. Several of them are married and have been for years. They are Sleepy, Nubbins, and Hungry; to say nothing of the Sheriff, whose word I have for the preceding statement. Try to get things straight, will you? — ALMA P., LOS ANGELES. Hot For Children Soon after reading the article on the dramatization of the Clark trial in the September DOINGS, I noticed that they intended to actually broadcast the real thing next time. I didn't happen to listen in, and so don't know whether they did or not. Anyhow, I'm not in favor of it. I have been to several trials — one of them a murder trial, and believe me, I wouldn't want my children to listen to one — and what's to stop them, if they come over the air? I can't stay by the radio to see that they don't turn on the radio when the trial is on. I honestly believe, if I thought they were going to broadcast some of the stuff I've heard at trials, I'd sell my radio.— MRS. S. B. J., LOS ANGELES.
