'Radio Follies" beauties
Ey DAVID C. VORMELKER
International Illustrated News
Feature Writer
NEW YORK. Radio fans are
eagerly awaiting the coming of tele
vision, impatient for the day when
they can see as well as hear their
favorite ether stars.
Undoubtedly the many alluring
ladies on the air waves themselves
would appreciate being seen as well
as heard. And who can blame tliem
for not wanting to waste their bcauty
on the studio air? Of course, many
of the radio programs are given be
fore studio audiences, but compared
to the vast number of radio listen
ers to whom the broadcasting studios
are not convenient, this group is com
paratively small.
And when television docs come
what is in store for all radio fans?
Just stop, look and read.
"Radio Follies" New Sensation.
There i3 Peggy Dell for example.
song stylist from the emerald hills
and lakes of Ireland. At the age of make this former mannequin and
16 she began singing in Fuller's cafe daughter of a high officer in the for
mer czar's imperial army a radio fix-
in Dublin. From there she v.ent to
London and became a sensation at
the Kit Kat club, Cafa Anglais and
the Cafe de Paree.
More and more numerous will be
come the performances of "follies"
and musical comedies over the air.
Little reluctance will be shown, it is
believed, if girl3 like those who have
appeared wiih Fanny Drice and
Btnny Fields in "Zicgfeld Follies of
the Air" continue to perform on the
radio.
Helen Jt-pson i3 one of the first of
radio's woman stars to be signed by
the Metropolitan Opera company.
This lovely prima donna has appear
ed with Paul Whiteman's Kraft
Music Hall and has also ventured on
a career in tnc movies.
Tania's Another Beauty
Tania Lubov's excellent speaking
voice, her exotic and colorful air and
her ability as a dramtic actress
tui-3. Tania, whose name means "ti
tanic love," is an accomplished dancer
and has experienced fair success at
writing plays and short stories.
. Gertrude Niesen, who strangest of
all, picked a theatrical agency at
random from a phone book, had an
audition and a week later was offered
a valudcville job at $100 a week.
Then followed engagements in clubs,
theaters and on the radio.
Bazs Ryan of the trio "Babs and
Her Brothers" would also make a
pleasant bit of television scenery.
Bringing distinctive charm as well
as beauty are "The Graces" who sing
with Rudy Vallee's organization.
These girls with the "moonbeam
voices" are Itoberta Pearson, Annette
and Kathleen Brctzlaff. All of which
suggests that radio will hardly be
stripped of all its current headliners
even if television should arrive.

homa, where she will make an In
definite visit. She is going to assist
In the care of her grandfather, Peter

Seward. Neb. A campaign for a
state police broadcasting system is
under way in Nebraska as a result
of action taken at a meeting of 20
eastern Nebraska law enforcement of
ficers here.
James W. Davis, Lancaster county
deputy sheriff and secretary-treasurer
of a district sheriff's organiz
ation, said the group probably would
draft a measure for presentation to
the 1937 legislature providing for a
$59,000 appropriation to set up a
state system. Davis said the officers
believe a survey should be made to
determine whether a single station
or several stations should be estab
lished, and where they are most need
ed. Two-way communication would
not be attempted at the start. Every
county sheriff's office would be equip
ped with a radio receiving set.
Sheriff Charles C. Machurek of
David City, a district president, has
appointed a committee to investigate
further the possibility of a state-wide
system: Sheriff George II. Little of
Schuyler, Sheriff John J. Gallagher of
Fremont, Sheriff Karl G. Greiner of
Seward and Sheriff L. D. Mengel of
Wahoo.
Arthur J. Sigel, Omaha police radio
engineer, conducted a demonstration
of one-way broadcastings. Speaker
were E. A. Jones, Seward county at
torney: Police Judce William E
Johnson of Clarkson; W. C. Condi
of Lincoln, former state sheriff, and
Mayor Fay Wood of Seward.
The state sheriff's office was rep
resented by Deputies J. J. Mohr, Rob
ert Emery and Eusene Battan. The
next meeting will be held Sept.
at David City.
Boat Traffic
Is Increased
25 Per Cent
Missouri River Barges Are to Be
Fed by Newly Formed
Truck Lines.
Rock Island, III.. June 11. Major
General Thomas Q. Ashburn, head of
the inland waterways corporation,
here today said Mississippi river traf
fic has increased 25 per cent this
season- over the same period last
year.
The Inland Waterways corpora
tion, he said, "made 50 thousand dol
lars in March; 159 thousand dollars
in April, and 169 thousand dollars
in May this season, or four times
what we ever made during the spring
season. Last season wecleared 750
thousand dollars, and this year wCj
expect to go over one million dollars
in profits."
The general said the corporation
has received no financial aid from
the federal government since 1929.
All told, he stalted, ("tire govern
ment advanced 22 mlilion dollars to
the corporation. The latest report of
our auditors shows that our floating
plant and equipment are conserva
tively valued at $29,750,000. In ad
dition to that valuation we have $4,
789,000 in government bonds and
cash, so that we could turn over our
holdings for more than 34 - million
dollars."
To Build New Boats.
Business at the Rock Island and
Burlington terminals this year, Gen
eral Ashburn said, "is 50 per cent
more than during the same period
last season. There i3 no reason why
both terminals should net soon be
on a strong paying basis.
"We havo plenty of money and
will build new boats as rapidly as
the need for them develops," he add
ed. "Because of the increasing de
mands we have givcu orders for the
remodeling of two old-type stern
wheel boats.
General Ashburn said he had just
let contracts for four new refriger
ator containers, built like house re
frigerators, each of which will carry
1,500 cases of beer south to New Or
leans and bring back other products
that require refrigerator in transit.
i "Our eventual plan, is to- hava re-,
frigerator equipment to carry the
dairy products of the Mississippi val
ley to the southland and bring back
citrus fruits by the water route at
half the transportation cost now en
tailed. Thus the farmers and con
sumers will be benefitted."
Start Truck Lines.
This season, General Ashburn said,
"we are inaugurating truck; lines
west out of Kansas City which will
pick up products for water transpor
tation out of the Kansas City port.
This service will eventually be estab
lished all over."
General Ashburn said he fully ex
pected that when the channel im
provements are completed on the up
per Mississippi "the increase in
freight traffic will be tremendous.
exceeding all expectations."
