Not that she doesn't want to talk about other things, but she just can't concentrate on anything else. Stinky's father is Luther Adler, Broadway actor. And Stinky's mother, at the moment, has no plans other than radio and taking care of Stinky. * * * CINCINNATI— Most of the time Hazel Turner is a singer, one of the five Novelty Aces who appear on Cincinnati's WLW— but for a little while each day she is Emmy Lou, the farm girl from out where the tall corn grows. Emmy Lou is backwoods through and through, dressed in gingham and sporting tightly-braided pigtails, a very different person from the smartly dressed, very modern Hazel Turner. But just the same, Emmy Lou is Hazel's favorite person, and she loves the few minutes on the Novelty Aces' daily Time to Shine program in which she impersonates the country girl. The listeners like Emmy Lou, too, so much so that recently an Emmy Lou fan club was organized in Hicksville, Ohio. Winning first prize in an amateur contest thirteen years ago was the stepping stone that brought Hazel into radio. Her brother, Harold Maus, who had already been in radio, decided if she was good enough to win a prize, she was good enough to be in his act three times a week — at a salary of one dollar each week. Emmy Lou was created while the Aces were working for station KFAD in Omaha. The program director of that station needed a rural girl character, and Hazel was picked to create one, with the program director's help. Since that day, Hazel's led a double life, her own and Emmy Lou's. Jean Dickenson, bright star of the American Album of Familiar Music on NBC-Red Sunday nights, got good notices from the critics when she made her Metropolitan Opera debut, singing the role of Philine in "Mignon." Without having to listen too closely, you'll probably be hearing her in one of the Met's Saturday afternoon broadcasts before the season ends. Do you have trouble remembering which member of the team of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll is Amos and which is Andy? Here's a way — provided you can remember it: there's an os in both Amos and Gosden. And so the other member, Andy, must be Correll. Simple, huh? The next time Elsie Hitz takes anyone to the theater, she's going to find out all about the play beforehand. The twin founders of Elsie's fan club, Mary and Margaret Gordon, aged sixteen, of Jersey City came over to visit one of her Ellen Randolph broadcasts on NBC, and after the program, for a treat, Elsie took them to see their very first stage play. The show turned out to' be very frank, not to say lurid, and now Elsie is busy explaining things to the girls' mother. * * + When Alec Templeton came to New York a few weeks ago, NBC found itself smack in the middle of a demand for broadcast tickets that assumed Toscanini-like proportions. Alec's been voted in several radio polls the most popular new star on the air, and everyone in Manhattan wanted to be present at one of his broadcasts. With reason, too. NBC gave him a party to celebrate his arrival in New York, and never has a radio personality so charmed a large group of hard-boiled writers, editors, executives and press agents. Alec's love for life is so strong and electric that it's contagious. His latest almost incredible exploit has been to create a complete symphony — in his head! Although finished, it wasn't down on paper when I talked to Alec — he said he'd call in a musical stenographer some time during the week and dictate it. * * * Radio's busiest news commentator is twenty-seven-year-old Richard Brooks, ex-tramp, ex-ballplayer, exreporter. On New York's station WNEW, he does five fifteen-minute newscasts, six days a week. In addition, he's heard from regularly over NBC every Monday night, bringing you the news sensations of the week on Sammy Kaye's Sensation Cigarette program. 8 ■ Very much the grown-up young ladies, Bonita Granville and Judy Garland wait for their escorts at the Troc.
