D-- EIGHT SUNDAY JOURNAL AND STAR. JUNE 1948 Qftfflgl 8q Commentary on Tunisia: Von Amim, ixu That'll I'am 'im. Edward R. Murrow. AJOR BARNEY OLDFIELD on the Horace Heidt "Treasure Chest" program last Tuesday evening sounded just like the Barney of old who was KFOR's professor of the "Hollywood College" in pre-war days.

Major Oldfield is stationed -at Stout Field, Indiana, home of the troop carrier command. He was selected to appear on the nation-wide Heidt program when Horace surveyed Stout Field for interesting personalities to participate in the weekly radio show. The work of the troop carrier command is colorful and exciting, and includes that group of dare-devils known as paratroopers. Major Oldfield Is one of them He told the radio program audience that a jumping paratrooper doesn't always descend toward the earth in an orderly manner, and then related his own experience of getting caught in an up-draft during a jump and being wafted upward for a three-minute detainment while the other paratroopers drifted downward and reached the earth in 30 seconds. Hal Mclntyre packed the Pike hoofery Friday night as he presented his musical crew which has been pegged "America's newest and grandest band." Hal made some musical predictions to us alter cessation of dancing, saying: "With the end of the present war and the return to peace, there will come a music world distinguished by drastic changes.

Right commented HaL "sad songs with a theme of faith and hope as 'When the Lights Go On and 'White Cliffs of Dover' are prevalent. With victory, all that will be changed. The world wUl once again be happy and that spirit will be reflected in the music of the day. Mood songs, ballads, and blues songs will go. "The tempo of the reconstruction period." says HaL "will be fast and furious and the music will have a gay lilt to help the people happily whistle while they work.

Orchestral arrangements will be more adult and intelligent with a greater number of composers writing in the new strictly instrumental swing idiom. "Finally." predicts Mclntyre, "there will be more popular concerts of modern music, recognized by even the most extreme classicist that will become the 'classics' for future generations." Chief Petty Officer Artie Shaw of the United States navy In scheduled for a five or six months' tour of overseas bases with his navy band, according to "Variety," trade publication. The in-the-service bandleader will leave his Pearl Harbor station within a few weeks and is expected to wind up the tour with a series of concerts in major American cities. Artie organized the navy band in New York last fall and "convoyed" it to Pearl Harbor in December, 1942. Journal Star Radio Programs GALE BOBBINS, formerly with the Ben Bernie crew, has a new Chicago variety program over, CBS.

Gale has been getting the eyes from Hollywood. Jacfc Carson Loans Talents To Radio dramas, swimming, football, vaudeville, movies, marriage what hasn't our new man of radio tried now? Each one of these things has had a large place in the hie of Jack Carson, the new comedian over CBS and KFAB on Wednesday nights. To begin with, can you see Jack in Greek array playing the part of Heracles (some prefer this to Hercules but it i amounts to one and the same person) in a Greek drama? This debut was made at Carleton College in Minnesota--but wait--it wasn't his only stab i at being an actor, for he de- cided that he was good enough to become a song-and-dance man in vaudeville. He had just I begun it when the talkies came in and pushed him out and on I his way to Hollywood. Quite a I push, what? What a varied life this man I has had.

They'll be back on the air in September. "Jack Carson" Shoiv "The New Jack Carson Show," starring the spectacularly rising new radio comedian, Jack "Hot Lips" Carson, along with a vocalist- discovery, Anita Ellis, and Johnny Richards' 20-piece orchestra, made its rebut on Columbia network Wednes- nesday, June 2. (KFAB, 8:30 to 9:00.) Carson, who wins the former Milton Berle spot, already has created for radio some of its wildest concepts as, the doorbell-ringing routine which is a parody on all doorbells for all time. Adroitly dodging the "typed" knock at the door, Carson has given a new device for bringing people on stage series of sounds which combine all the features of a Spivak's Blood Count Bandleader Charlie Spivak can lay claim to a fan with possibly the most original idea in souvenirs. Eecently, "The Man Who Plays the Sweetest Trumpet in the World" went to his doctor for a physical checkup and was introduced to a new nurse who revealed that she was a great admirer of his and that his band was her favorite.

During the examination, she took great pains in making her idol comfortable. As Spivak prepared to leave, the nuise asked him if she might have his autograph Charlie agieed. Then sign this please' said the nurse and presented him with a glass slide on which was a specimen of Spivak's blood used by the doctor to determine his blood count. The nurse had persuaded the doctor that it meant nothing to him. but to her it would be a highly prized souvenir.

"Hey, Scliickelgmber" Spike Jones, who hit the top with his razzing salute to Herr Hitler, "Der Fuehrer's Eace." is getting set to take another musical poke at Adolf. Spike will introduce ''Hey, Schickelgruber," a tuneful jolt addressed to the nazi leader, in his forthcoming flicker, "Meet the People" Yip Harburg and Sammy Fain wrote the tune. ILM STAR MARY ASTOR is mistress of ceremonies on the night program over KFAB at 7:00. In addition to a "surprise package" each week she will have with her the comedians Charles Ruggles and Mischa Auer, as well as Carlos SARNOFF, RCA picsident, speaks on "Science and the Future" during the post-war planning series, "For This We Fight," over WOW Satuiday, June 12.

Jcssel Jives George Jessel, who has recently turned his talents to the literary field, will appear on the Sammy Kaye show, Wednesday at 7:00 (KFAB).

Jessel will join Sammy in Milwaukee, where the show, now on tour, will be presented. On a'previous visit Jessel tried to sell Sammy on the idea of giving up the band business in favor of the stage. Sammy refused, and now has a weather eye open for a likely proposal from Jessel to sell copies of his autobiography, "So Help Me."

Dis-liarmonic Herb Shriner, comedian and harmonica virtuoso on the CBS "Caravan" Fuday nights, has finally discovered what to da with the collection of 600 harmonicas he has been accumulating during the last few years. He'j turned them in to the scrap drive. "If they cause Hitler as much anguish as they've caused audiences in the past, I'll be satisfied," says Herb. Hope Gmerson of Iowa Prominent Radio Figure Weighs 200 Pounds A new face has appeared on the comedy horizon. She's Hope Emerson, a gal who stands six feet two inches and weighs 200 pounds.

Hope is a natural comedienne. but for long and unprofitable years those natural talents kicked about the country in vaudeville, light operetta, night clubs, stock companies and the like. Then the Durante-Moore-Cugat Thursday night variety show decided it needed a good woman comic stooge. Somebody had heard Hope Emerson do her patter of song satires and thought she was worth an audition. She showed an astonishing capacity to read comedy lines; Garry Moore christened her "Toodles Bong- shnook" and she was in.

Toodles Toddles Hope first trod the boards at the age of three, with parents who had turned actors after their marriage. As she grew up, she took time out in Des Moines to get a musical education, topped off with several years at Drake College. Then she went int'o i a stock, did the old Orpheum circuit, went to New York to play the part of an Amazon in "Lysistrata," and then went back on the road. Then came a period of musicals and operettas. In between seasons she played summer light opera St Louis and did more night club stints In 1936 she cracked big- time stage with a role as a ladv blacksmith in ''Swing Your Lady," and enjoyed a two-year run with that show.

Radio Figure Following that, Hope returned to her piano-and-song routine in the night clubs. fair success and She enjoyed a her recordings radio entered the picture. In the studio, Hope takes jests about her size in great good nature and will occasionally wax playful by picking up 5 foot 7 inch Garry Moore and setting him down at the other end of the stage. All in all, radio figures that Miss Hope Emerson, of Hawarden, Iowa, has arrived in New York City, and "the chautauquas are behind her. Haven't We Met? Most embarrassed person in New York last Thursday afternoon was Maiy Martin, who was guesting that night on "Stage Door Canteen." At the rehearsal Mary sat next to a man who was heavily built, looked around forty, was smooth-shaven and slightly bald.

Rehearsals being informal, everyone assumed everyone knew everyone else. The heavy set man smiled at Miss Martin, said 'hello' in a thick accent and, when she smiled a reply, continued with the rehearsal. She could have sworn she knew him from somewhere. Curious and anxious to learn just who he was, she asked him. "I'm Akim Tamiroff," he laughed.

Mary reddened. Several years ago she worked thirteen weeks with Tamiroff in the making of "New York Town." But all that time Akim wore a long beard and a wig of snow-white hair. Mary had never seen him otherwise, for, until she met him at the radio rehearsal, that was the only lime they had met, Naming A Plane a Smith's request of the rpdiilime commission to namf a plane after Tamara, the dancer, who lost her life in the plane- crash near Lisbon, has been re- fused. A letter from the chairman of the maritime commission, E. F.

Lang, explained that this would be impossible due to the ruling never to name a new plane after someone who had been killed. SONOTONE HEARING AID Has Moved To 311-312 Federal Sec. Bldg.
