Lena Horne drops in on Fred Robbins' "1280 Club" broadcast to compare warble notes with the popular disk jockey. At right, Fred sounds his "A" for the boys of Lecuona's famous Rhumba Band before the cameras start turning on latest Robbins "Thrills of Music" short subject for Columbia release. H YA, Rose, got your mistletoes? You better sew up those toes, or Saint Nick'll have Chime time! And the kid in the red threads with the white fluff and the big bag is booting Donder and Blitzen home once more. There's oodles of wax in that knapsack, Jack, and though the cookies Nick has for you are too big for that two thread, they're just perf for that turntable you'll find (I hope) sitting beside it under that pine all wrapped up in a big bow come Xmas early bright. One sans the other is like you without your Screenland. So lemme tell you how to break it in right. Alors! HEAVENLY! LES BROWN: "Sentimental Rhapsody," "Jumpy Stumpy." Here's how to treat that new cookie pusher (record player) rightly and politely. And your ear, too. Give it a taste of Les' freshest one with the soulful tonsils of Eileen Wilson on the "Rhapsody," based on a theme from "Street Scene," the show that was so great on B'way this season. Then, flip! And you get 1 urchin', urchin! And how that Brown gang comes on! Like Burt Lancaster, no less. S'named after Les' kid brother Stumpy, who breaks it up with his comedy routines in the band and plays fine trombone to boot. The Kid of Renown, incident, is doing phenom' on the Bob Hope show. (Columbia) PEGGY LEE: Mrs. Barbour, the wonderful lady cat, messin' around (Please turn to page X.3 ) r Doris Day, the greatest thing to come along since kissing, they say out Hollywood way, is now the airy canary in Michael Curtiz' production, "Romance irt High C." Before movies beckoned, hep listeners heard her on Robbins' airshow. 49
