Folks Behind
The Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

TINED WEEMS, National Broadcast
ing Co. orchestra leader, has one
characteristic not usually asso-
n ciated with musicians. He Is a
shrewd business man. He always
has been crafty In his business dealings.
While attending the Lincoln Gram
mar School, in Pittsburgh, he organized
kid band, and equipped 1t with mouth
organs, broken combs and improvised
drums. The teacher decided that the
fire drill would be more interesting II
Ted's noisemakers played as the pupils
filed out of the class room when the
alarm sounded. SO she offered Ted a
penny for each band member for this
service. Young Weems not only pocket
ed this money, but charged every boy in
his orchestra cent for the privilege of
playing. However. he used the money
to provide better instruments.
Later the Weems family moved to
Philadelphia, where Ted joined the band
of the West Philadelphia High School
and soon was its director. Art. his
brother, also was a member Of the stu
dent orchestra.
Ted entered the Towne Scientific
School of the University of Pennsyl-
vania upon his graduation and became
the director of the varsity band He
also organized dance band that played

Fewer Millionaires
Ann ArbOr, Mich.. NeWs)

(Ann Arbor, Mich., NeWs)
Millionaires have been reduced
substantially in number during
the last two years. That is one
of the stories told by preliminary
figures on the income-tax re-
turns. The number of Ameri-
cans with incomes above half 4
million was reduced from 1,471
to 460. The million-dollar in
comes dropped from 5O4 to 149.
But it is not really a pessimistic
tale that these figures tell.
The economic slump has served
to redistribute this wealth in
some degree, and that is an opti-
mistic portent. Concentrated
wealth does not make for circu-
lation of money. and circulation
is what the nation needs most at

Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey

Ring VS.. Theater

In that fighting comes strictly
under the heading of amuse-
ment, it might make a more dis
tinct picture to compare what a
fight fan buys when he gets his
ticket with what an addict Of
the drama buys, CHASING both,
for the moment as entertain
ment.
At the theater box office one
purchases something quite def
mite as to hours and minutes Of
entertainment. The customer
knows he is going to see a two,
three or four-act play with GER
tain principals therein whose
regulations for entertaining at
tract him.
At the box fighting ticket Of
flee the customer only knows
who are the actors. He can
merely guess how we'll they
might perform under a given
set of circumstances or against
a given opponent. He has to
gamble as to how long he will
recline in his reserved seat. He
speculates as to how many acts
the show will last.

Mrs. Mcdonald, Golf

Club in an exhibition on July 81.

and will then engage AL Hough-

The Washington times., 1931-07-09
Quantity or Quality

The question, then, is-what
does he consider his moneys
worth at the ringside? Does
quality or quantity count with
the fight fan?
The same item may be
brought up with reference to
baseball. Most games go about
nine innings, but few teams
perform the same at every
matinee. Does the heavy hit
ting, lots of base running, two
hour and forty minutes game
satisfy the baseball fan greater
than the small-score pitchers
battle?
Opinions along such a line
will vary as much as human
nature itself. And strategy, or
what is considered good or bad
procedure, will also vary in the
fight game, baseball, football
and horse racing. That's what
makes sports move. That's
what keeps the bugs clicking
the turnstileS.
