Casa Loma Band On The Air More Than Other Bands Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra are currently being heard not only on more radio stations than any other band in the country, but on more radio stations than there are in the country! From Meadowbrook in New Jersey they're on three networks more than 300 stations, fourteen times a veek.

A transcription service supplies their music to 300 more stations, and a drug manufacturere is currently releasing Casa. Loma transcriptions to 400 stations. That's 1,000 stations 250 more than the total number in the U. After their record-breaking Meadowbroow engagement the Casa Lomas play one-nighters and theaters until they open May 30th at the Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans. WTJS broadcasts Glen Gray's music via the Mutual network and transcriptions, of the World Broadcasting System.

Pretty Kallen, singer with Jack Teagarden's orchestra since it was organized, was secretly married in Nashville when the band played a ballroom there, to Clint Garvin, saxophonist with Francis Craig's orchestra at the Hermitage Hotel. Garvin played saxophone for Teagarden until January, when he had to go home to Nashville to be with his father and mother, both ill. The secret came out when Tea-garden found a wedding ring on the bandstand at the Hotel Roosevelt in Jacksonville, where he has just finished an engagement, and Kitty, blushingly, had to claim it. Last week she asked Jack for a release from her contract, and put Mr. T.

right in the middle of a great big dilemma. It's customary for bandleaders to sign vocalists to long-term contracts, and particularly new vocalists such as Kitty, who learned to sing on Philadelphia radio stations and got her first band job with Jack. That's because there is such a tremendous investment in arrangements, which must all be in' the vocalist's key; in photographs, in gowns, and, in many instances, in dramatic lessons and beauty treatments. Kitty's contract with Jack still had several years to run, and Jack, who had originally introduced Clint and Kitty, was faced with a choice between protecting his investment and Kitty's career, or continuing to play Cupid. Don't worry about how it came out.

Marianne Dunn, of Akron, Ohio, is the new vocalist with Jack "Cupid" Teagarden and his band that "really plays the blues."

The "Parade of Stars" will be heard over station WTJS at 7:15 p. on April 16 and for three successive days, starting on April 18 at 10:00 a. m.

In addition to Martin, the series presents the amazing mimicry of the Radio Rogues, a trio of impersonators who have skyrocketed to new glory in the Broadway hit "Hellzapoppin'." Topping off this delectable dish of dial fare will be Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra, internationally famed for smart rhythm and exciting arrangements. Tony Martin, romanticist of song, will be heard in many of the favorite numbers which fans all over the country have come to identify with him. Star of stage and screen, he is currently at the height of his career. Moviegoers everywhere will remember Martin for his contributions to such pictures as "Sing, Baby, Sing," "Music in My Heart," "Ali Baba Goes to Town," "Sally, Irene and Mary," "Thanks For Everything," "Life Begins in College" and "Winner Take All," to name a few. Besides his vocal talent he has proved to be one of the most interesting of microphone emcees.

The Radio Rogues are a whole show by themselves. They can imitate the voices and mannerisms of practically anyone on the air with striking accuracy. Their impressions of such personalities as Kate Smith, Fred Allen and Bing I Crosby are regarded by the stars themselves as some of the finest bits of artistry on the air. The Casa Loma orchestra has arranged a music schedule that will give ample attention to both old and new songs alike. Their melange of sweet and swing music is guaranteed to woo the jitterbugs as well as please the more sedate listeners.

The 1940 "Parade of Stars" will be announced by Fred B. Cole.

"Our Leading Citizen" is a colorful, honest screen treatment of a vital contemporary American problem, bringing Bob to town in a role hailed as the best of his career.

Bob is seen as a man' who is a lawyer by profession, a philosopher by instinct, a real dyed-in-the-wool, down-to-earth, 100 per cent American character who believes in the principles of democracy, of square dealing with his fellow men. As in his other starring suc cesses, Bob is once more aided by a grand supporting Numbered among them are Susan Hayward and Joseph Allen members of the "Golden Circle," select group of young players slated for stardom, cast as Bob's daughter and his junior law partner, respectively. The supporting cast also includes Eliz abeth Patterson, Gene Lockhart, as an industrialist, and Charles Bick-ford as the chief of a gang of strike breakers. The Irvin S. Cobb story is con cerned with Bob's efforts to restore law and order in a thriving American city when an industrialist puts through a 10 per cent pay a cut his in to all, the In II lit lies: nay saie Dy naving mem examined regularly you'll ntV'J The Radio Rogues, gay deceivers who pretend to be that which they are not and "take-off practically every celebrity of the stage, screen and radio, will be featured in "The 1940 Parade of Stars," starting Tuesday night at 7:15 o'clock over WTJS.

Coming To Met at one of his mills despite the fact that business is good.

Bob and junior partner have been retained as counsel for Lockhart, and when the latter refuses to reconsider, Bob resigns as his counsel. Mill Is Bombed Lockhart's next move is to call strike breakers. Then agitators arrive in town to urge the workers meet force with force. To cap the mill is bombed, and two of workers' leaders are killed. A citizens' meeting is called by responsible members of the community.

Bob speaks in behalf of dispensing with "isms," with all outside influences which are causing more trouble in the dispute. Lockhart turns the meeting into a politically rally by revoking the pay cut and announcing that he will' nominate Allen for junior senator at the forthcoming state convention. It would be giving away too much of the story to- tell how Bob goes into action, deals with the leader of the strike breakers, Bick-ford, in a thrilling fist fight, and finally is nominated to run for the senate in place of Allen! Of course, there are grand romantic moments in the picture, involving Miss Hayward and Allen. the course of the story, Bob has plenty of trouble keeping them together, but he deals with their difficulties in stride.

Last Sunday evening little Marianne Dunn was sitting at home in Akron, Ohio, listening to Mutual's "Show of the Week," which stars a new band each week. Thinking of how glamorous a job singing with a band would be, and of her own ambitions in that direction, Marianne shut off the radio and thought back to last summer, when she had won a local amateur contest and worked for a week with Horace Heidt at a local theatre. Horace had liked her voice so much that he had written letters of introduction for her to the bandleaders who were to follow him in Akron.

But the only leader who had even taken the trouble to listen to her sing had been Jack Teagarden. Then the phone rang. It was Paul Wimbish, Paul Whiteman's ex-manager, who has now taken over the personal representation of Jack Teagarden. Kitty Kallen, jacKs vocalist, had secretly married Clint Garvin, ex-Teagarden saxophonist, the week before, and wanted to join her new husband in Nashville, where he is' now with Francis Graig's orchestra. Would Marianne join the band Wednesday in Washington? Marianns would! And this Sun day afternoon, on the Show of the Week, the featured vocalist witn Jack Teagarden and his "band that really plays the blues" will be Mari anne Dunn who is singing any thing but the blues!
