★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ RICHARD JUDGE— Jitterbug Judge is what he is known as these days. For that's exactly what Richie Is—a jitterbug. As for playing the clarinet he's not far behind Benny Goodman, for after having only one lesson on the instrument, he proudly presented his talent by playing Joopers Creepers to the senior high assembly. Very soon we may all be dancing to the swingaroo music of Les Kings famous orchestra. Just so you won't be too surprised— Les King will be none other than Richie Judge.
