Miller Is part of the halftime show the 100-piece band stages during football games at Tempe.

The things he does with the baton, tossing it 100 feet In the air, bouncing it off the ground, or twirling It behind his back, between his legs, and around his neck, smacks of thought control or some form of black magic. Miller has been twirling batons about 20 years, starting when he was in grade In the early stages he practiced two to four hours a day. Now considered quite an authority on twirling, he often judges contests and gives exhibitions. This summer he worked with 627 drum majorettes from Texas universities at Sam Houston State College, taught at the Smith-Walbridge music camp, at Syracuse, and taught at Butler University. He also gives private and group lessons at Valley schools.

Miller and his baton have done shows in night clubs and at the Paramount Theater In New York City. During World War II he made a South Pacific tour with the USO. ft Miller has never been seriously Injured by the gyrating steel baton, Emcee Of 'Welcome Traveler' Now Is Seen On Video Show HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 4 (NANA) Cameron Mitchell is a proud father, but it Is doubtful If he ever will bring his two older sons down to the studio again to watch him work. Not until they grow up a bit, anyway, Mitchell was dressed in Western outfit for his starring role in "Powder River" and was extremely resplendent in silver-studded pistol belt and long holster strapped just above his knee.

He had conceived of the knee gun as the most practical place CONTRACT WITH TEETH Warner Brothers will pay William Fawcett $50 less for his portrayal in "Springfield Rifle" than he was paid in "The Lion and the Horse." Reason is that the actor demands $50 more when he acts without teeth and must gum his words. If only one set of dentures "is used, he charges only $25 extra.

It took him several years to acquire his own program, and just as he was getting along nicely and establishing himself as a radio personality, World War II was declared. Bartlett flew for the air transport command and for a brief period after the war for a commercial airline. He left flying to return to radio and "Welcome Travelers." Now, five years and 600,000 travelers later, the program has become so well known that it outranks the Art Museum as a tourist attraction in Chicago.

The TV version is an extension of the radio format, right down to a reproduction of the College Inn "Porter House Room." BIG, RED-HEADED Bartlett starts his day at 6 a.m. and between radio and TV commitments, as well as personal appearances, he often keeps busy until far after midnight. Each week he devotes several hours to his favorite pastime, flying, to keep his private flying license valid. Bartlett was born July 11, 1914, in Milwaukee and attended public schools in that city. COME TO POPPA Autry.

Why don't they let you have two guns, Daddy?" "I didn't want to wear them where everyone else does," stammered the red-faced parent. "Besides one gun Is enough." "Okay, but you don't look like a real cowboy to me," declared Bobbie, whereat his father shouted to his wife: "Take 'em away. It looks like we're the parents of a couple of critics!"

Virgil Thomson chose her for the important mezzo soprano part in his opera, "The Mother of Us All," and Gian-Carlo Men-otti engaged her for the film version of his opera, "The Medium." She also sang in the West Coast premiere of Prokofieff's "Alexander Nevsky" and the American premiere In Chicago of Benjamin Britten's opera, "The Rape of Lucretia," in which she sang the much-coveted role of Lucretia. SHE SCORED NEW successes last season in a series of 30 European concerts, including BELVA KIBLER performances in Rome, Vienna, and Berlin. Shortly after her Tempe concert, she will leave on another European tour. Albersheim studied music In Cologne and later in Vienna, where he earned his Ph.D. in musicology, and is now a member of the faculty of Los Angeles Conservatory.

He has been coach and concert accompanist for such singers as Elisabeth Schumann, Ezio Piriza, Claudia Pinza, Lauritz Melchior. WHILE THIS IS LAST SLOO -t- Aivard Winner Makes Good On Records NEW YORK, Oct. 4 If you were to ask pretty, hazel-eyed Lu Ann Simms to name the most exciting moment of her life, she probably would answer, "the evening of April 21, 1952, at ten minutes to nine." At this instant the young songstress stepped to a CBS microphone to compete on the "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts" program. By 9 p.m. she had won.

Six months later Columbia released her debut record, "When It's Just About September" and "Puppy Love." Lu Ann was born in Rochester, N. July 11, 1932. She first bowed to an audience at 3 when, propped up on a chair and held there by Mr. and Mrs. Simms, she sang "Wlien You Wore A Tulip" for an amazed and amused studio gathering at WHEC, local Rochester radio station.

The Simms family became a popular Sunday favorite thereafter. When she was 12, Lu Ann began her musical training. For five years she studied to become a classical singer. She also found time to work in the record department of the town's music shop, where she first acquired a feeling and taste for popular music. Soon Lu Ann was tutoring her teacher's pupils on pops and gravitating further and further from the classics.

She was discovered by her talent scout while singing for a lark at the Lido Restaurant on City Island, N. Y. A recommendation was made that Lu Ann audition for the Godfrey show. Her aunt and uncle, with whom she was staying at the time, noting the youngster's enthusiasm, added their "Why not?" and off she went to the big city. The petite 100-pounder is now featured on "Arthur Godfrey Time." As a result of winning the competition, there were movie offers and fan mail galore but ex-record salesgirl Lu Ann decided that for the time being singing on radio and recording was enough.

First Hit Song Is Album Title "Because of You," Tony Bennett's first 1 million record sales success, has been chosen by Columbia as an appropriate song for his first album. Equally appropriate, the collection also includes Tony's debut recording, "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams," as well as a near-million seller, "Cold, Cold Heart." With eight records in this collection Bennett skyrocketed to stardom in 1951 and established a reputation as one of the most interesting new singing discoveries.

Bartlett's genuine interest in the people he meets is reflected in the warmly human stories they relate to him. HE EXPLAINS it this way: "I like people.

Ever since I was a kid I've had a feeling that there's nothing in the' world more interesting than the stories one person tells another."
