The show was too long, so I offered to cut, tellin' the production man I'd cut my first number to 1 'n' 1, and do the second number 1 'n' 2 — Everythin' was supposedly settled — The orchestra director understood and agreed — Came the show — the first number was played 1 'n' 2, instead of 1 'n' 1, 'n' I 'bout choked tryin' to continue; then the second number was played 1 'n' 1, which nearly made me swallow a tonsil tryin' to keep from continuin'. Well — I blamed the production man, the production man blamed the orchestra director, the orchestra director blamed me, so you see it's an endless chain, or "circle ,of circumstances" that make the politician pretty safe — if he's clever. Whenever things are dependent upon the human element there are bound to be mistakes, that's why they put little rubber mats around "garboons." — But with the "petty politician" mistakes are usually made accidentally on purpose. BUZZED 'round one o' my old hang-around towns a short while ago — Dee-troit, 'n' boy, what a sweet town! I've been in 'n' out o' there since 1917, in the show business, 'n' I've an awful lot o' friends there — This time, as usual, I rushed in 'n' rushed out (I'm "Rushin' " 'n' Red, but not Sovietly!). — I appeared at WWJ Aug. 20th on their 10th Anniversary — Think of it! — I didn't know I'd been in the business that long. — The old Detroit News station has always been an attraction to me, 'n' I've worked myself blue in the face for old "Ty Tyson," who's been there from the very start. Appearin' on this WWJ Anniversary Program was Eddie Guest, always one of my idols. One of my greatest thrills in radio was last year while introducin' to the radio audience the man I had admired 'n' wanted to be like ever since I was knee high to a toad — the finest gentleman and the most regular of fellas that I believe I have ever had the pleasure of meetin' — a real man — Edgar A. Guest. Others were there, includin' the Hudson Singers (a great quartet, incidentally, now with Pure Oil), 'n' oh, so many mo' — it was a "large evenin' " 'n' a representative show — I'm "tickled pink" that they should have called on "little I'm" — long live WWJ 'n' more power to 'em! SO until then — see yo' pretty soon — pretty sooooon — pretty so-o-o-ooooon. Nite Owl. Sincerely, AGENTS WANTED! Take orders for "What's on the Air" subscriptions in your community.
