Kesslcrc (Above) Jimmy Kemper is the romantic singer who weaves dramatic incidents about popular melodies on his CBS programs. Jacksor (Above) Here's the young girl who cries for a living. Yes, Miss Sally Belle Cox imitates all the babies you hear over the air. } OXY is coming back. And via xCIjS. The grand old fellow of 'Roxy's Gang" fame, for whom the world's largest theatres have been lamed, is scheduled to have a fortyive-minute program starting this nonth. He takes the spot formerly illed by Albert Spalding's violin )laying. Already the big showman is mditioning new talent.

In fact, we're told that so many new sponsors are clamoring for time that NBC and CBS find it impossible to take care of them all with present station hook-ups. Which means that maybe those contemplated third networks we've been hearing about will find it easier to develop and star* operation — perhaps this fall.
