Try it just once." But Harriet never has. Ray Noble on the other hand, favors the relaxed school of conducting by using a minimum of motion. He leads with a pencil held in his left hand. CAN you play a kazoo, uke, harmonica or guitar and sing with a nasal twang? If so, you may fall into a fortune as a singing hill billy. Last year radio coffers disgorged no less than $15,000,000 in salaries to seven thousand hill billy acts numbering twenty individuals each in an orgy of 220,000 hours of mountain music. Nor do you have to come from the mountains to qualify. The imitators, it seems, are more successful than the genuine articles, although there are plenty of the latter. # * * JUST one of those things. It was Bob ' Crosby's last night at the Lexington Hotel in New York. As he came off the stand after leading a group of numbers, an important looking stranger accosted him, claimed he knew Bing well and otherwise acted the big shot. While Bob was still talking a bell hop gave him a message from the house detective which read, "Don't let on, but hold that man." Thinking he might have a kidnapper in tow, Bob invited his impromptu guest to a table and bought him a drink. He kept talking to his friend until time to go on for his next group. And while playing the first number, "I Can't Escape From You," he saw the fellow being led out handcuffed to a detective. Bob found out later that he had helped apprehend a notorious check forger wanted from coast to coast. Incidentally, Kay Weber, formerly with Jimmy Dorsey, is now with Bob Crosby. * * * NEW babies with the Casa Loma crew during the last two months number four. The three boys will of course graduate to the band and the girl will become the vocalist. . . . Ray Noble is back from Europe with five new tunes . . . Al Donahue writes his first song and calls it, "I Write a Song" . . . Leon Belasco, whose band was the first around New York to play tangos and rumbas, has now discarded these and goes in for swing . . . Ben Bernie now owns a couple of race horses but none of them have come in first so far . . . Vincent Lopez orders his life by astrology and numerology. His own lucky number is 9. Wayne King is also crazy about astrology. At least ninety per cent of the band leaders have their little superstitions. Clyde Lucas, for instance, would not think of playing a game of golf unless he used clubs made expressly for him by a Scotchman friend . . . Eddy Duchin would make a swell model for a dentifrice ad . . . Enoch Light's wife, Mary Janis, who used to sing with the band, is still ill at a sanitarium . . . WOR has opened a coast to coast chain with a number of bands on tap . . . Al Goodman has taken business offices on the twentysixth floor of a building on Madison Avenue. He claims that height is necessary for inspiration. . . . Mark Warnow has written several "Swing Fugues" . . . Raymond Paige is symphonizing a lot of children's tunes like "Over the Fence," "Elephant's March," etc., claiming that everybody knows and loves them. * * * SHORT SHORT STORIES EDITH DICK, vocalist on the Lucky Strike Hit Parade and Sweepstakes, used to be a dancer, but found it much more (SEND FOR TRIAL BOTTLE FREE) • Does your rough skin "snag" on your stockings and cause runs?
