FOR DISTinCUISHED SERVICE TO RHDIO Radio has a sensational new program. It is a musical program that turns hot or sweet or symphonic at the slashing beat of a baton. By all the precious standards of listening-in, this program surely provides eighteen-carat musical entertainment. Not long ago, the unique orchestra which delivers that entertainment to our loudspeakers was just a musical director's dream. Its creation and its success make a remarkable story that you can read on page 44 of this issue. Radio's newest sensation is simply this: a top-notch orchestra in which every single musician is a girl. Perhaps you've already heard it on ttiat Thursday night Hour of Charm. Broadway calls it Phil Spitalny's All-Girl Band. Radio Row calls it a miracle, for not once before has an allfeminine aggregation managed to capture the â–¡ffection and interest of the radio audience as has this one. You already know that it is the backbone of the Hour of Charm program. But the Hour of Charm is more than good music. It is a demonstration that women can present as fine musical entertainment as the males who have monopolized the musicians' jobs from the very beginning of broadcasting. So we congratulate those who take part in this program. Particularly we congratulate Phil Spitalny and the girls whose talents he has blended into a sweet-voiced broadcasting unit. And to the Hour of Charm we present our April Award for Distinguished Service. 19
