Jack Russell Bits from the Air (Continued from page 36) out a previous screen buildup may have caused some wonder, though the voice gave evidence o£ a meas- ure of speaking' personality. 'Spot in the Mildred Bailey session was given the German girl without advance publicity. Big improvement ot the Eddie Cantor line of palaver on last Sun- day (4) night's Chase & Sanborn coffee session as compared to the previous week. Eliminated entire- ly from the script was the previous stanza's attempt at comic opera plotting, with- Cantor and his stooges making it a strictly hoke give-and-take. There was lots to chuckle about in the ribbing handed out Rublnoff and the domestic ban- ter that closed the show. Quite a number of the gags . in th'e forepart of the hour smacked of the away-back, but in most cases Cantor arid his authors gave thorn a reshlning and up-to-the-minute adaptation that made 'em pags laugh-muster generally. Songs picked for the occasion, with one exception, were not within the Cantor mfetier, but one off-tabbing here or another means little to the program, since this lad has sold himself essentially as a comic; Bosion ^s Sundays (Continued from page 38) siderably. Of the 45 acts inspected by the censors last week only 12 were okayed in their original form with no eliminations ordered. Five were pronounced altogether unfit for Sunday shows and 18 were told to clean up to comply wil;h the reg- ulations. Censoriiig The 18 censored acts and' the eliminations or Changes ordered were: Al Mamaux—word 'hell.' Annette Ames—all dancing, wom- an's scant and nude attire, bare legs, all objectionable and sugges- tive dialog. Arthur Ward—all dancing. Berry and Boni—all dancing, woman's . scant attire, word .'_0!od,' objectionable and sugsestivc dialog and action. Claudia Alba—woman jnust cover her body. ' . Freethly Aerial Beauties—wom- en's bare legs. Harry and Dorothy Dixon—all dancing, wom.in's scant and nude attire. Kirk and Latvrence—objection- able and suggestive dialog, shots fired. Larry Gray and Co.—objection- able and suggestive 'actions and parody, shots fired. liomas Troupe—dancing steps, ob- jectionable actions. Loret and . Zurt—-man, and wom- an's scant arid nude attire; both must cover their bodies. Marcy " Bros, and Beatrice—all dancing, woman's scant and nude attire, bare 16gs, objectionable and suggestive dialog and actions. Monte Blue-=-objectionable and suggestive dialog^ : Rudell and Dunnlngah—bbjetr tibna'ble and suggestive dialog a:id actions. South and Jacobs—man's black- face and comedy clothes, word 'hell,' objectionable and suggestive dialog and actions. Three Dukes—imitation of a per- vert, ob. and sug. dialog arid action. Vincent Lopez' Debutantes—all dancing, woman's s. and n. attire, imitation of pervert, Oriental dancer, ob. and sug. dialog and ac- tions. . Tacopl Troupe—^worinan's S. and n.' attire. Not Stag From these many cuts It may sound like' the boys raided a stag show. But the acts are really not that bad. It's Just a case of cen- sorship on Sundays taking In Items that during' the rest of the w^eek could offend nobody. For example, misfit clothes are entirely taboo for tjie men. They must work neat. It makes the Sunday going tough or practically Impossible for low comics. Ann Pritchsird, Carlta, Donald Novls, Dora Bassi, Drohan and Du- pree, Harvey Flunkett and Child, Joe Young, Lewis and . Tingley, Mangean Bros., Murray and Ditison, Sylvia Miller and Thelma DeOnza were the dozen turns that escaped the clippers. Boston Is stlir ahead of Phllly in one way-^Boston has Sunday base- ball. But with the Red Sox mostly in the cellar since 1918 nobody t)ay3 much attention. . Rudy Vallee's introductory re- marks for his songs are getting much too windy and tend to slow up the proceeding.s. That was the impression garnered from" last Thursday night's Flei.schmann .se.s- slon.' Same program had Frances Wil- liam uncoiling a torch number that registered effectively, I'Yancis Ledercr and Patricia ColUnge In a cooing scene from 'Autumn Crocu."3,' the Don Hall THo in a brief but In- tricate . mixed harmony workout, Charles Flelschmanri, related tb the y^ast family, quavering a just-so baritone through a couple of draw- ingroom ballad-s-, and Moran and Mack doing their original .script froni the 'early worhi' down to 'white hbrscsi' Though perfectly familiar, to yaudc and disc fans, the exchange had a refreshing effect on the riHibllitles and mu.st have clicked across the kilocycles. Ledercr's voice as it cariie out of the loudspeaker/ had sOmethlrig about it that was relnlnlscent of Chevalier, but the vigor and sweep of the li'renchman'.s per.sonality was totally lacking. Hf;fne was done tenderly and showed up the i'fitricla Collinge voice equally well. Thome RKO Stealmg Edge Los Angeles, Dec. 5. RKO is stealing a march on Fan- chon & Marco, Through Bern Bernard, local agent, It has spot-booked a circus unit into the Golden Gate, San Francisco, opening there Friday (9). . This is a week ahead of the F-M Circus Idea booked Into the Frisco Warfleld. Fox West Coast will not fet the Golden Gate, San Francisco, beat them with a, 'circus' unit, hence the Fanchon & Itfarco 'Circus' idea will close one day earlier at San Dlcgo, Jumping to the Warfleld, San Francisco, opening Dec, 8, wliile the Golden Gate's circus show opens on the ninth. Warfleld show v/(ya not to have opened until Dec. 15. of the 'Autumn Crocus' excerpt sounded a little too srorchy for parlor ears, particularly those lines in which the schoolmarm character admits to 35 and still 'untouched.' Plug that followed the Lcderer- Collinge interlude indicates th.at the appearance ' was. strictly exchange of cross-country hookup' for the. players' gratis services. Vallee re- marked that 'after that one thrilling bit' he was sure that the listeners would want to see entire play.
