tough nights work at the theater,

Let us here and now lay wager
that many a radio fan in his Nebras-
kan burrow or his dugout on the
storm-swept slopes of the Dakotas
kidded himself that he had picked up
the Capitol at New lork-until he
heard the mystic letters VICAR
at the end of the selection. 1t was
just that good. and il Don Felics
should attempt TO answer each of the
flood of letters which poured in with
the early mail today commencing him
and his players. he would have tc
fire his orchestra. which God forbid,
and hire corps of stenographers.
Those same fans who tied up the
telephone wires with their requests
for Don Felice shortly before mid
night last night are here and now
informed that in the near future

his Palace -Theater orchestra will

While the orchestra wiped its
beaded brow and rested. Don Felice

And Miss Chirot did nothing else bur
sing the famous Mad Scene" from

we'll let it go that way.
Then came Frank Langsdorf, Mrs

allow their trusty receivers to cool
off and recuperate from wild night
until precisely s o'clock this evening.
