One of the sharpest shafts in
Cupid's bag, aside from Selective
Service, appears to be Guy Lom
bardo's music, judging from the
written confessions of his admir
ers. Hundreds of letters request
ing tickets to his Monday night
broadcast have come in from ro
mantic couples who admit they
fell in love listening to his pro
gram. The show is heard, locally
over KFAB Monday at 9 p. m.

CHANGING VOICE.
Kenny Baker, tenor star of the
Texaco Star Theater," aired
Wednesday nights over KFAB,
tells this one on himself. Kenny
had been working a pretty heavy
concert tour schedule, flying into
New York for the show and out
again. It happened that just before
a concert in Sioux Falls he caught
a bad cold. He sang the concert,
however, in the true "show must
go on" spirit. Following the con
cert, a lady came backstage and
shook his hand enthusiastically.
"You know, Mr. Baker," said the
lady, "we've heard your tenor voice
on the Fred Allen show and have
enjoyed it immensely. But it was
a real treat to hear your baritone
voice tonight."

New York City, Dec. 1. You
business administration majors,
who are prisoners of English 328,
and vow that scanning the verses
of Keats will never, never assist
you in earning an honest dime,
should see how the Muses are mak
ing an Economic Royalist of Beu
lah Allison, late Bard of Barnard.
While you are learning how to
write business letters, Miss A. is
reading Tennyson, and learning
how to soothe the debtor's savage
bre:ist.
When a local florist, who deals
with a social clientele, finds that
ordinary methods of dvnning are
wasted, he sends for Miss Allison.
The next thing you know the
tardy one receives something like
this in his mail:
"You're a very gallant beau,
"All your ladies must have
flowers.
"We have sent them (those
you asked for)
"At most ungodly hours.
"You have made the right im
pression. "(Having courted with a
dash.)
"Is it asking too much, then,
sir,
"For a payment now in
cash?"
And the poetry pursued hove
come across in 50 percent of the
cases. Even the toughest ones.
Stopping the war department.
A friend of ours, who writes the
life and times of the stage and
movie folk for the magazines, was
crossing Broadway at 52nd Street
the other day with Jane Wyatt
when a taxi going south suddenly
turned around in the middle of the
street and headed blithely north.
Of course traffic was jammed
and there was a great deal of
Bronx chiding from every side.
"I know how to end this war in
Europe in jig time," quoth Miss
Wyatt. "Just send ten New York
taxi drivers over and they'll scare
every soldier off the field."
Little folks department.
Union Square, as you know, Is
the gathering place for those clans
who come for nightly harangues
about ships and ceiling wax and
politics.
Here you find the professional
inciters of unrest, students of so
ciology and professors of eco
nomics from the local colleges, all
come to gather in little groups and
tell of the ills of the world.
We wandered down the other
night, and were caught in a circle

Donald Crisp heads a support

formers. He plays the role of
Father John Callahan,
The timeliness of this radio
adaptation of the screen produc
tion of "Knute Rockne All
American" testifies to the astute
showmanship of DeMille. When he
gives the order to "ring up the
curtain" of the "Lux Radio The
ater" next Monday night for his
radio story of the life of the great
Rockne, he will figuratively "ring
down" the curtain on a great foot
ball season.
Mr. DeMille's radio adaptation
of "Knute Rockne All Amer
ican" is from the motion picture
of the same name. As the immor
tal Rockne in the movie version.
O'Brien won the plaudits of
screen audiences everywhere for
his honest portrayal of the coach
whose premature death shocked
the nation. O'Brien's Rockne was
widely acclaimed by an army of
motion picture and dramatic crit
ics present at the premiere in
South Bend, seat of Notre Dame
university.
beating down all opponents by his
very volume.
In the inner fringe was a little
man who wore dark glasses and a
dark hat. Now and then he smiled.
Finally, when there was none left
who dared to hold a brief for any
thing, he spoke. With a clipped
British accent he thrust his darts
home. At last the one of the loud
voice shouted:
"Get out of Union Square. Go
over to Wall Street where you be
long. What does your kind care
about the little man?"
"My friend, I AM the little man,"
was the reply. And then he shuf
fled off into the night.
The next day, in one of the gos
