The series has been a WABC feature for a year, and consists of truthfully dramatized Incidents from American history. These aerial chapters have been continually accurate, sprightly and exciting.

So it should be cheery tiding3 that "Roses and Drums" have been resigned for another year.

In her dressing room, the striking brunet who has thrilled more radio fans than an expert statistician can estimate, talked of many things radio's future, television, advertising blurb, her children, and home. She is very optimistic about radio's future, declaring that the aerial racket hasn't even started, but once it does, entertainment will rate as high as that provided In the theater. Said Miss Joy: "There Is a lively public resentment against long-winded advertising blurb, and agencies are just beginning to realize that advertising to be effective must be more subtle and less frequent. Listeners tune out high-powered announcements made at close Intervals, and why shouldn't they? "The public wants entertain-ment." Comedy with a musical background, she considers the best. "And until broadcasting officials learn to arrange programs on the same high plane as in the theatrical world," said Miss Joy, "radio will be at a standstill." As for television, Miss Joy be lieves it will have to be done from an entirely new angle.

She has been fplevised only once end that was while doing an act with Kathe- rine Tarsons who starred in "The Girl of Yesterday" on Broadway, "There is no special advantage to television," she pointed out, "but it like other things may have a future." Asked whether she preferred per sonal stage appearance rather than broadcasting, Mis3 Joy confessed her liking for the stage. "There is no applause on the radio, and every inflection in the voice is picked up, whereas on the stage, it is less difficult to smooth out a mistake. Altho she has been broadcasting with the NBC network for three years, the "radio dream girl" doesn't yet trust herself to any "ad lib remarks. In making announcements, she relies solely up on copy prepaved in advance. "There is something appalling about a microphone," she said, "and one is inclined to get panicky while groping for words, and once spoken, they cannot be retracted." Among other things, Miss Joy confided that it was "dumb luck" that landed her a commercial with NBC.

'Luck may get you there, but It's talent that keeps you there," she asserted. The deep-voiced contralto gained prominence on The Prince Albert Droaram, and sinca this commercial faded off the air, she has been touring vaudeville for the last two months. Upon tha com- pletion of her tour in May, she plans to resume her radio contract. If present plans materialize, Miss Joy may be heard on the Fitch pro gram, a Des Moines commercial, broadcast from the Chicago studios of NBC. If you haven't yet seen this famed radio artist, she is a lumin ous lady, a polished planet in the galaxy of the stars.

There is a re gal air when she stalks across the stage, and she can preacn a sermon with an arched eyebrow, even tho penciled for facial expression. As she sat before her dressing table and creamed her face to re move all traces of makeup, she laughed gaily about being eyebrow- less. Her eyebrows, she explained were most unsightly and she had them plucked out entirely for her last talkie short. With a few deft strokes, she applied well arched lines before making a personal ap pearance at WOC. But to get along with this per sonality sketch of the "dream girl." Miss Joy is an extremely matter-of-fact person who talks of her home and children, the youngest of whom is four and takes great delight in Imitating her mother's singing of "Just an Echo In the Valley," substituting a for the In Valley.

A. YATES BUZZE AN ACTOR WHO TALKS PLAINLY (Continued From preceding Page) Mr.

Raft, who i3 making a per sonal appearance at the Capitol theatre in conjunction with his picture, "Pick Up," arrived in Daven-port from Chicago Saturday morning. He is on his way to Holly wood from New York, where he was called by the serious illness of his mother. Yesterday he helped drown the pain from a tooth extraction by sampling some of the new brew in Chicago with his friend, Max Baer, the heavyweight fighter who will meet Max Schmeling of Germany in New York on June 8. From Davenport he win go to Cedar Rapids and thence westward to the coast. Likes Miss Sidney.

In "Pick Up," George plays op posite Sylvia: Sidney, that gorgeous Sylvia, and he'll ten you ngni away it i3 a pleasure being with the young star whose rise in film-dom has been sensational. "She is a regular he adds, "and she helps to make the filming of a picture pleasant. She knows how to laugh and to help ease the strain." According to Mr. Raft, Paul Muni is tiro greatest actor of the day. They were seen together in "Scar- face," a film which, incidentally, really brought them before the movie public.

"Muni is a qavenport visitor stated. "He is a great per former." George, a dancer until 1927, has been in the movies approximately two years. During that time he has appeared in "Quick Millions," Hush Money," "Scarf ace," Dancers in the Dark," "Madam Racketeer," "Night After Night, If I Had a Million" and now in "Pick Up," His next picture will be "Trumpet Blows," in which Miriam Hopkins may be the leading lady. Type Performer. With the exception of the film playing at the Capitol now, George has always appeared in the role of shady, it not tough, character.

He has the general makeup of our Idea of a gentleman gunman. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 163 pounds. (And he watches his physique, too.) He has olive skin, smokey eyes a clean-looking mouth and teeth that could be used in a pepsodent ad anyday. The economic conditions on the coast have made inroads into the salaries of the stars. They have been cut 50.

"It's alright for those persons making 13,500 weekly," Mr. Raft says. "After all, a guy can live on $1700 weekly. I'm not in the big money, and I'm having a hard time living up to my publicity." He explained that he has 17 suits with him and IS more back in Hollywood and that, for instance, his clothes in "Night After Night" cost him dollars not bottle tops. "But why all the clothes" we asked.

"I have to have them to fill the role I'm given," he replied. "I can't go on the screen wearing a M0 suit. I have to he wearing the latest and the best, and that costs money." We liked Mr. Raft's total lack of pretense. He was free of the common fault of high-hatting, making it a pleasure to talk to him.

Here's to him for continued success. J. E. O'D. "SCANDALS" AT ORPHEUM LAST OF THIS WEEK (Continued from Preceding Pane) head the list of celebrities.

Original Broadway settings will be used in the stage production of the "Scandals" at the Orpheum here. There are 19 scenes in. the show. Large seating capacity of the Orpheum, and the fact that there will be continuous policy, with three stage shows on Saturday and Monday and four on Sunday, will permit the resolutionary popular scale of prices which will be placed in effect for the "Scandals," according to W.

To Justify in a small way (if possible) my position now and then, to atone for the insur mountable bit of blackening which I have heaped upon his fair name I quote from the letter: In your column of last Sunday you carried a squib to the effect that it was reported to you that 1 was not frequenting the elite musical affairs as much as 1 used to. You asked me why.

Permit me to say that you have been grossly misinformed. I would consider myself only partially developed and altruistically a nonentity if I failed to permit the charm of music to have its share in shaping my destiny. While I admire the motion picture, the legitimate stage show, the lecture, while I appreciate a boxing bout, a wrestling match, a basketball game or a football contest, while I have a deep regard for religion, a sense of duty in civic affairs and a spirit of loyalty in friendship, nevertheless I would call life quite incomplete without the cultural influences of music. Being that there are only 21 hours in the day, sometimes conflicts rob me of the opportunity to visit musical. affairs.

If you could suggest a way to remove that physical situation, perhaps you would refrain from printing unkind remarks from uninformed informers. JOHN O'DONNELL. Was my face red? And was 1 squashed?
