Class Prophecy Good morning everyone. This is Betty PlIf777tl7Z,S f'Morning Reviewl' bringing you news of the day plus new records and amusing happenings from around the country. Pinchhitting for Betty while she enjoys herself in sunny Australia is your truly, Juliet Ritscbard. First off, let's lend an ear to a Don Schlarb or- chestral arrangement of School Days, How did you like that? According to the Gallup Poll, Don's band is now rated first in the nation. We'll have to hear more of his records soon. Now for some important news from the nation's capil. Senator Mildred Selner, of Indiana, yes- terday criticized U. S. President Dafvid Sbirle in Congress. It seems that the President is much op- posed to Senator Selner's campaign to move the U. S. capitol to Woodland. We'd better keep our eyes peeled for more fireworks from that di- rection. Another interesting bit: The famous Broadway song and dance team Helen Sefuerns and Daniel Robinson dissolved their partnership last night- a bit mysterious just now after being promised leads in a forthcoming Broadway musical. Ballet star Patricia Robinson has just returned from Paris where she had a leading part in a French stage play. Back to some music now. We've had a number of requests for opera arias. I'm sure this record by opera star Donna Barleey will please you if you like this type of music. Wasn't that beautiful? Donna is now touring the country and may be seen in Chicago, Denver, or St. Louis soon. Have any of you been down to Madison Square Garden yet to see the circus? You're missing something if you haven't. An amusing incident happened at the Garden last night. Daring Stanley Brennernan, the world- famous tight-rope performer broke one of his fingernails in a fall during the performance. The shock has completely disabled him. Another discouraging note from the circus world is the retirement of a bareback riding team in Florida. jerry Null and Dorothy Woods have ended their twentieth year as darlings of the circus because according to them: We're not as young as we used to be. Brighter news is supplied by actress Sbirley Weigel Ca second Bette Davisj now in New York shopping for her trosseau. Her wedding date is set for june, not too far away. While going through some new records for the program, I ran across this one that is sure to make the Hit Parade soon. The lyrics and music were composed by writer Anna Getloa and is already selling at a rate of 100,000 a day. Weill hear it sung by Margaret Zahner, currently appearing at the Gold Coast in Greenwich Vil- lage. Incidentally, the Gold Coast is now under the new ownership of multi-millionaire Karl Vee- fvaete, already owner of dozen night clubs all over the U. S. Here it is .... That's a catchy little tune, isn't it? Sponsored by MADISON CENTER SERVICE STATION, G. A. Accoe 16

Flash from Hollywood: Marie Myers' Cseeond Hedda Hopperj life has been threatened through a mysterious phone call. I wonder if it has any- thing to do with her mentioning of screen director Wayne Beutler's name in connection with that counterfeiting gang? I'll try to get more details by tomorrow's program. Blue Sox pitcher Romairze Friele from Indiana has just announced her plans of retirement from pro- fessional soft ball. That's a bad break for the Sox. From the Waldorf Astoria comes word that the head chef, VVay11e Beelaler and waitress, Evelyn Veefuaeze, are being closely observed in their prep- aration and serving of food. According to Police Chief George Erzgelloardf, poison was slipped into the manager's food this morning. Fortunately manager lack Troxel was too busy to touch his food. The poisoning was discovered when Fvelyn confessed to the police before any harm had been done. Ladies, you must see the ultra new creations fash- ion designer, Naomi Miles, is showing today at the Madison Hotel on Fifth Avenue. They are the maddest things in town-high here, low there, broad here and narrow there. I'll have to bring some over for the show sometime. I saw the style show yesterday and interviewed cover girl Marilyn V011 Gruenigerz who thought that this trend was made just for her type. Prominent socialite Patricia lVea'ver, of Chicago, has just announced her secret marriage to a so- cially unknown postman. Does that man know he married a fortune? That reminds me of the King of Ifngland's state- ment that his son denies any rumors connecting him with Dorothy Seblarb, a department store clerk in London. Too bad for Dorothy. For a brief moment while we all catch a breath, let's listen to Cecilia Richard play some of that boogey she's so noted for on this new Columbia record .... All relaxed now? Then here's some news from abroad. The ocean liner believed lost in a hurricane off the African Coast was sighted this morning by Coast Guardsman james Myers who is being awarded honorary membership in the Carol Sberle Eye Institute for his good eyesight. Aboard the ship were famous wild game hunter Betty Barderz with her herd of elephants and janet Marker, foreign ambassador to the Belgian Congo. Both were alive, but strangely pale. Last night wrestler illartiu the Champ C.'rof'oot easily defeated the favored Texas Bad ,Xlan before a capacity crowd at the west side Armory. I see by the clock that our time is just about gone. Listen again tomorrow for the news hot off the presses and the records you can't hear on every program. i just a reminder .... Don't touch your dial until you've heard the real, dramatic, true to life, story of Cousin jane. Portraying the main character, jane, is radio star Rosemary illanges. lt's the only program in radio that will make you laugh, cry, hate, love, whisper, and shout for I5 minutes. Stay tuned in and get your reaction to this emo- tional, tear-jerking serial following immediately. Until we meet again, this is l signing off for all of us at Station TWMA ftill we meet againj Bye .... Sponsored by MADISON CENTER STORE, Phone 2523
