CHICAGO
bH CHASE GILES
ROCK ISLAND, Illinois, is one city Eleanor Holm and Arthur ' Jarrett will always remember.
Art's orchestra has been broadcasting lately over the Columbia net work from the College Inn in Chicago. Singing with his band is Eleanor, his wife.
The two were raised within four blocks of each other in Brooklyn, New York. Yet they didn't know each other until years later when Eleanor, already possessor of many swimming championships happened to visit a New York radio studio where Art was singing.
Two years later they again met. This time it was in Hollywood where both were working in the movies. Romance blossomed and in September, 1933 they were married. The Jarretts drove east on their honeymoon.
Reaching Rock Island, Illinois, well after midnight the two went to the local hotel in search of a room. But the room clerk refused to believe they were married. They showed him letters and various identification papers. But they couldn't convince him they were really man and wife.
The result was the two tired kids got back in their car, drove to the park,
and tried to nap in the car until dawn awakened them a few hours later.
^â– LfHEN the New York musicians union recently ruled that orchestra men must be paid $3 per broadcast, the bands in Chicago and other cities beyond that union's jurisdiction got the biggest break of all time. For all the New York orchestras stayed off the air and the networks filled the late evening time from Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Denver, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other cities.
RECENTLY Tony Wons challenged any of his listeners who cared to accept, to debate upon whether Robinson Crusoe or Napoleon was the better man. Tony wanted to champion Robinson Crusoe. He was glad to find so many letters coming in from people who would debate the point but suddenly he began looking at the addresses on the letters. They were all from points outside of Chicago, from Minneapolis, Rockford, Denver, etc., and each writer was willing to make the debate ... if Tony would pay his fare to Chicago ! Although Tony does have quite a bit
of money put away he can't see himself doing that. All of which reminds me of the only point which Bill Hay didn't like about his vacation. Bill, who announces Amos 'n' Andy, went with them to Palm Springs, Cal., for the vacation. But he came back to Chicago looking a bit solemn.
"Oh, sure I had a grand time . . . but the cheapest room you can get out there is $16 a day!" Imagine a Scotchman like Bill trying to enjoy that!
M RS CORRELL, wife of Andy of Amos 'n' Andy, will remember that Palm Springs, Cal., vacation this spring for a long time. All her jewelry was stolen. Of course it was insured and of course her husband can easily afford to replace it. But some of it was keepsakes, little inexpensive memories of the days before fame and fortune and Amos 'n' Andy smiled upon the Correll household.
W? OR years they'd been wanting to see what a broadcasting station looked like, said the nine Navajo Indian chiefs who recently trooped through the Columbia studios in Chicago. {Continued on page 67)
