"You surely are the happy bearer of glad tidings when you tell us that the Slumber Hour will be back on the air and that Mr. Cross will sing the theme song. We feel that it would not be the Slumber Hour without him and hope that he will sing other songs during the program as he did before." — Mary E. Thompson, Wilmington, Delaware.
"After watching a group of folks 70 to 94 years of age, listening to the radio. I am always impressed anew with the miracle of it." — Sarah C. Davis, Omaha, Nebraska.
"Why, oh why can't our popular song writers find something else to write about, and lay off this broken heart sob stuff? We'll never get rid of the depression while singing these 'blues' songs." — George E. Currey, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
"I'd like to suggest a renewal of the Palmolive Beauty Box Hour with operettas one can never forget or tire of." — Christine Murray Glenn, Vancouver. B. C, Canada.
"Of the new talent worthy of a sponsored program this winter, I would name the girl born in Canada, lived in India and went to school in Denver, and more definitely mentioned as Jean Dickenson. In addition to a voice of high quality and finish, she has an over-the-air personality that radiates from her golden, energetic voice." — J. E. Sills, Winston-Salem. N. C.
"Charlie Butterworth, you are the sort of inane rambler we can listen to all night without a yawn." — K. A. Gray, Manitoba. Canada.
"If at any time you want to lose your identity, for fifteen minutes, listen to the Girl Alone program. It's a knockout! The most original, human and cleverest concocted. The leads, Patricia Ryan (Betty Winkler) and Scoop Curtis, are positively exhilarating." — Helen S. Phillips, Burlington, Iowa.

Margaret was brought into the scene. And now, three days during the week, the husbands of these two sisters gather their children 'around the radio just before dinner and together they listen in to their mothers who have been reunitedby radio.
New York Doings — Joe Connelly, the Irish announcer on WFAB, is now wearing green glasses all the time. His friends think he is making a gesture to the colors of his native land, but he is really suffering from "kleig eyes." He had been making a series of shorts on Irish folk lore at the Astoria movie studios . . . WHN's latest attraction is pretty Blanche Haring who suddenly discovered she had a radio voice — passed the announcers' audition and landed a job as announcer. Her first chore was emceeing from the French Casino, with Eddie South's orchestra, and they whisper that she's good . '. . It's no fun being the leading lady on The Wonder Show. Every Sunday night something terrible happens to blonde Rita Johnson who plays the feminine lead on WOR-Mutual's tear-jerker plays. She is now quite accustomed to being abducted, shot at, or tied to the railroad tracks. In recent weeks. Rita has been thrust into an elevator shaft with a car hurtling down above; has been besieged by maddened natives in darkest India; has suffered the bitterest poverty and the snobbish taunts of society — all for the cause of old-time mellerdramer. Although a newcomer to radio, Rita is well fortified for these parts.
