S.A.) Established 86 years two adjoining stores, installed ultra-modernistic fixtures, and is now worrying over his income tax. AIR COOLER That chill in the Cocoanut Grove the other night wasn't the air conditioning apparatus running wild. What happened was that Joe Penner and his gag man, Harry Conn, wandered in and met Jack Benny, for whom Conn used to operate a typewriter. Sonia Henie could have cut figures on the stares. PROSPERITY NOTE The item you saw in the dailies that Bing Crosby is getting rid of his racing stable, and substituting a stable of fighters, is only half true. He isn't getting rid of the oat burners. He's buying more, but he'll manage a half dozen pugs, too. A building permit has been granted for the construction of the Bing Crosby Building on Wilshire Boulevard, and there all Bing's extra-curricular business activities will be quartered, with the rest of the premises being rented out as offices. PRESS-TIME FLASHES Sir Harry Lauder hears the call of radio and prepares to emerge from his Scotland retreat long enough to acquire another fortune. He will come to America to broadcast . . . Wayne King quits flying at the earnest behest of his wife who can't forget the tragic fate of Will Rogers. Bing Crosby, a man of many enterprises, signs up George Turner, the twenty-year old Dallas heavyweight with a record of twenty-nine victories in thirty appearances in the prize ring. Turner, you may recall, played with Bing in his Columbia picture, "Pennies From Heaven" . . . And Al Jolson, like Bing, a racing and prize fight enthusiast, acquires a two-year old eligible to run in the Kentucky Derby in May. Al, too, not so long ago took a pugilist under his wing when he annexed Henry Armstrong, St. Louis Negro featherweight. Paul Whiteman, switching sponsors soon, renounces hotel engagements to concentrate on his radio programs. Amateurs and other extraneous interpolations are out and the dean of American modern compositions will confine his efforts to music . . . Lily Pons, dismayed by the plight of deer in last winter's severe weather, converts part of her Connecticut estate into a refuge for wild life. DID YOU KNOW— That Ted Husing and the Voice of Experience, both famous for their bald pates, once exploited hair restorers on the air? That Helen Gleason. the opera and radio lark, was born with two teeth? It happened on a thirteenth, too, the month being September and the year 1906, in case you are interested in such things. That Mario Braggiotti taught Doris Duke Cromwell, the world's wealthiest wren, how to play the piano? % dfi $l Before long the chances are Helen Hayes will be broadcasting Bambi from Chicago, her stage play, "Victoria Regina," being scheduled to transfer from Broadway to the Loop shortly after the first of the year. Miss Hayes will be missed at Radio City for she has been one of the season's most picturesque personages in more ways than one. She appeared at the studio in her stage costume of Queen Victoria with puffed sleeves and slicked-back hair exciting much interest among the tourists and others who chanced to glimpse her in the corridors. This was necessary because only ten minutes leeway was given the actress to get from Radio City to the Broadhurst Theater to make her appearance as the nineteenth century British queen. Fanny Brice, star of the Ziegfeld Follies, is another who enlivened the studio scene this fall. She, too, had to broadcast in stage apparel because of the close connections. Cheerio's emergence as a sponsored artist after ten years as a sustaining feature is one of the historic events of the new season. It took the manufacturer of Sonotone, an aid to the deaf, to accomplish this miracle, Crneerio having remained adamant all these years to efforts to commercialize his program. But even now, Cheerio chooses to continue his morning program unsponsored, contributing to commerce a separate musical setup at another hour. Although Cheerio loves to preserve his anonymity under that inspirational tag, it is no secret his pay checks are made out to Charles K. Fields. He is a San Franciscan, a classmate of Dr. J. Lyman Wilbur, President of Stanford University, and ex-President Herbert Hoover. It was through the influence of Mr. Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce in Coolidge's cabinet, that Cheerio moved from Station KGO, San Francisco, to the NBC networks in 1927. * * * POSTSCRIPTS When Burns and Allen switch sponsors next April they will jump their broadcast fee from $5,000 a week to $10,000, and move over to NBC after four years on Columbia. The Bing Crosbys are expecting another little stranger with the advent of the new year. John B. Kennedy is planning a roundthe world tour . . . Rudolph Wiedoff, who taught Rudy Vallee how to toot a sax, is operating a gold mine in Nevada . . . Dorothy Page is being wooed by a young man with plenty of dough, aptly enough named Armand Rusk . . . Add to handholders in the Columbia studios, Virginia Verrill and Jimmy Farrell. If honorary titles mean anything to you, Paul Whiteman is a Kentucky colonel, a colonel in the Texas Rangers and a sergeant in the Colorado State Militia . . . But for that matter Amos 'n' Andy are admirals in the Nebraska Navy and that sovereign state doesn't even own a rowboat . . . Add marriages: Pat Murphy, the Scoop Curtis of the Girl Alone cast, to Lucille Edwards, of Station KSTP, St. Paul, Minn. . . . Major Bowes always broadcasts with a few leaves of rose geranium in his coat lapel. Almost incredible news reaches this department about the goings-on of Jack Benny in Hollywood. A Coast scout reports that Jack, once a Broadway fashionplate, meanders about the cinema capital in rumpled clothes, tieless, hatless and much of the time, shaveless! "Red" Nichols uses a swinging boom microphone to pick up solos from his musicians. It obviates the necessity of the instrumentalists leaving their chairs and walking to the center mike. "Radio," says John P. Medbury, the newspaper humorist who should know since he concocts many radio scripts, "is the gag man's heaven. It's the place where all the old stage jokes go after they die." Richard (Sherlock Holmes) Gordon is writing a book of theatrical memoirs l| . . . Irvin Cobb is collecting $3,000 a broadcast for presiding over Paducah Plantation. 66
