"Skitch" Henderson Is Featured With Bing Crosby Show Christened Lyle Cedric Henderson by his parents on January 27, 1919, in Birmingham, England, now known as "Skitch" by all of his many friends and associates and re cently tabbed The Hands by his millions of fans the boyish, six-foot blonde is fast becoming the present piano sensation of the music world. Like most youths, "Skitch" had to face the childhood calamity of music lessons, and, although his hands were on the piano, his heart and mind were always out doors with the other kids. The next thing he knew, he was enrolled at the Lord's School of Music in London or his way to becoming a concert pianist After his first performance under the auspices of the Birmingham League Concert Guild, his severe and critical audience gave him a 50-50 chance for musical fame. At the age of 16, Henderson came to America and temporarily discarded the classics when he first heard the rhythmic beat of Duke Ellington's keyboard. His first professional engagement in the U.

S. A. was touring vaudeville as accompanist to Cliff (Ukelele Ike) Edwards then onward as pianist with such top name bands as Glen Gray, Skinnay Ennis. Tommy Dorsey and Artie Shaw. Radio beckoned and in 1939 "Skitch" came- to Hollywood and starred for Bob Hope and Dave Rose on their respective programs.

War came and "Skitch" entered the Army Air Corps in 1942, where he flew combat missions in the Pacific, becomin a Captain and commander of a B-29 wing. With peace, Henderson immediately picked up where he had left off. He started back into radio with Frank Sinatra, became musical director for ABC's "I Deal in Crime." and signed a re cording contract with Capitol records. Now he is featured on "Philco Radio Time." a program starring Bing Crosby and heard each Wed- nesday night at 9:00, over WTJS ABC. PROGRAM Highlights TODAY 10:00 A.

Roy Engel Stars In "Sky King' Heard On WTJS If ever an actor was the living counterpart of a character he portrays, 33-year old Roy Engel is that person. Roy enacts the dashing title role in WTJS-AbUs tnruiing new juvenile serial.

Sky King. And in real life, Roy is every bit as active and his life has been as full of adventure as Sky King's. The west is the locale of mucn-oi the Sky King series. In Engel's life, the west also has had a dominant role. His Irish-Dutch ancestors were early pioneers.

The paternal grandfather was a deputy sneriff in Dodge City. when it was re garded as the country toughest cow town. It was from this same grandfather that Roy claims he in herited his love for the outdoor life. hunting and shooting. When he was only six years old, his father gave him a .22 rifle that belonged to the boy famous grandfather.

Even Roy's name is reminiscent of his pioneering background. His father was the first baby born in the town of Engelwood, and was christened Roy Engelwood Stults. Roy was named after his father but he adopted its shortened form for professional reasons. Even if you weren't told it, one look at this real life Sky King, would tell you that his nearly six foot rugged frame was not altogether a matter of inheritance. At both Rockhurst High School and College, Kansas City, he was on the first string football team, earned a letter each year and was consul ered one of the most valuable play ers in the collegiate conference.

Airplanes play a prominent part in the life of Engel who is an inveterate flyer and has had his solo license since 1940. He has used planes to take him on hunting trips to inaccessible parts of Montana, New Mexico and Arizona. Once he went coyote hunting while flying Hunting is his major hobhy Out he is the sportsman type ol hunter. never killing just for the sake of the kill. "I never shoot any animal if they're at rest if I have to kick it to get it moving," he says.

He has many mounted heads deer. elk, a mountain goat and the pelt of a mountain lion he once shot. Roy is a trick shot with both rifle and pistoL With a little encourage ment. he will demonstrate his fa vonte trick: grabbing a pistol in each hand from out of their hoi sters, spinning them once, and shooting a bulls-eye, all in three seconds. At home, Engel describes himself as "the greatest old clothes put-er on-er in the world." He likes to wear dungarees and a T-shirt after work.

Cooking a meal is another thing he enjoys, especially if he can broil it over an open fire. When Sky King feels like a dip, he need walk no further than his own back yard. His home is located on the shore of Lake Michigan on Chicago's north side. Roy married his college sweetheart in 1937 and they have a daughter. Royan, 4.

Sam Cowling Does Clowning On WTJS's "Breakfast When laughs go up from the studio audience at WTJS-ABC's Breakfast Club the so-called "invisible audience" generally gets the point, but on each broadcast there are sudden thunder-claps of mirth that baffle the most astute listener, These mysterious outbursts are aroused by the antics of Sam Cowl- Kng, star stooge of the program and mrveyor of Fiction and i act from bams Almanac. Besides being a deft fellow with ad libs, Sam is a first rate clown and pantomimic. Tis repertoire of visual tricks ranges from shameless mugging to skillful mimicry. He ogles pretty girls, makes outrageous laces at cniiaren, ana siyiy tun catures the gestures of hard-work ins musicians. With the brisk, efficient air of the man who has a mission in life, Sam snatches up a hand mike, presses it against his cheek and solemnly goes through the motions of shaving with an electric razor.

When someone grows too "talky," he makes quacking motions with one hand and with the other turns an imaginary crank. Sam always leads the celebrated March Around the Breakfast Table. He first politely invites youngsters to join him; then wheedles until his patience runsshort, whereupon he shakes his fists and screams, "Come on, you brats, let's march!" The march begins with verve and spirit, Sam prancing like a drum major. Suddenly he darts into a row of startled spectators and the stately march degenerates into a wild game of follow the leader. Midway in the row, Sam settles in the lap of a bewildered matron and flaps his eyes romantically, while marchers pile up behind him.

Bounding up, he doubles back in his tracks and the march ends in utter confusion. For some strange reason Sam is irresistibly attractive as a dancing partner. As nectar draws bees, so does he lure ambitious terpsi-chorean bobby-soxers, housewives, and sedate old ladies all clamor to dance with Sam. Yawning with simulated boredom, he selects a partner, whirls her around in a jitter bug routine, then whisks her out of the studio. When the music ends, returns -looking sheepish, hair tousled, necktie askew, and lipstick smeared on his cheeks.

Sam has of course made these changes in his appearance, to the embarrassment of his dismayed partner. Sam's only props are a derby, a handle-bar mustache, and a white linen duster, which he dons for his duets with old maidenish Aunt Fanny. The latter is tall and angular, while Sam is short and chubby. Aunt Fanny plays the mandolin, Sam saws away at a bull fiddle. Together they resemble an animated tin type, wired tor souna.

Sam's stock character is that of the dope who thinks he's bright. The obvious elude3 him until the ultimate moment and, when he finally comprehends he is sure to be mistaken. This is sheer mummery. Away from the microphone, he's original, humorous, and anything but a dope. His tart remarks on na tional affairs, the weather, ana what-have-you are widely quoted in Chicago radio circles.

There are those critics wno main tain that visual comedy, as dispensed by Sam. is out of place in radio, but that point is open to argument And what about that gadget in the offing? That gadget called television. The Breakfast Club is heard each day. Monday through Friday, at 8:00 a. via WTJS-ABC.

Bing Teams With Spike To Bang "Love In Bloom it From the esponse to the recent rendition of "Love In Bloom" by Bing Crosby, accompanied by Spike Jones and his City Slickers, it ap pears the radio audience would be quite happy to sit night after night and hear venerable ballads tossed around by these two accomplished kidders.

Happy Felton, whose voice on the telephone is the world's best music to the listener on the other end of the line when he makes the $1,000 giveaway call during "Pot 'O Gold" Wednesday night, was a musician before he ever became a radio com edian and quizmaster.

His radio career, which began when he was the game warden on "Finders Keepers," has Included a period of replacing Ralph Edwards on "Truth or Consequences" and his quizmaster's chores on "Guess Who?" In his current post as emcee of "Pot 'O. Gold," Felton has come into his own as one of the most ingratiating on-stage bosses that a radio variety program has ever had. All this activity in the entertainment world was preceded by attendance at the University of Pittsburgh and Allegheny College. He played varsity football at both and was graduated from Allegheny in 1929. He resides in New York with his wife, the former Vi Bradley, and their two daughters.

Among his honors is Father's Day plaque presented to him for being the "Jol-liest Father in America.

Watson in "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" over Station WTJS and the American Broadcasting Com pany. The program is heard at 8:30 Saturday nights. Bruce, who has been Watson in a whole series of films based on the exploits of Conan Doyle's great de tective, is now in his. seventh year in the radio version of the same "whodunit" characterization. That Bruce became an actor at all involved several turns of fate.

First, he ras born the younger son of an old and famous baronetcy. Thus he was precluded from succession to the title now held by his big-game hunter brother, Sir Michael. Incidentally, very British though he is, Nigel Bruce was born in Ensenada, Mexico, while his parents were on a leisurely world tour. World War I spoiled Bruce's career as a stockbroker. It also sent him to a hospital for three years when his left leg was shattered early in the conflict, after he had enlisted as a private.

The wound, strangely enough, was almost identical to that suffered by Dr. Watson in the Indian Army. Bruce recovered sufficiently to serve in a home service battalion during the latter part of the war. After the Armistice, the theatre attracted his attention-The play in which he made his debu WThe Creeking Chair," with C. Aubrey Smith, in 1920 was a London success.

For ten years Bruce continued to achieve success as a comedian on the English stage. His screen nebut was made in England in 1923. After playing in four pictures, he returned to the stage for a role in t'Lear The nlay was brought to New York and that led to his engagement for the leading role in "Springtime for Henry." A Hollywood contract followed Bruce made his first American picture, "Coming Out in 1934. Since then he has become a permanent fixture in the American film and radio worlds.
