Latest News and Gossip of
Radio Activities
BY BROADCASTER

A couple of years ago Charles
Emerson Cook, who was running
a musical comedy stock company
at our Belasco Theater, debated
with me on whether Julia San
derson and Frank Crummitt were
to be preferred to Cecil Lean and
Cleo Mayfield as guest stars for
a Washington week. Both teams
could be secured for $1,000 a
week. In the e-ld Lean and May
field won the engagement.
Things are different now and
radio has brought about the
change. Sanderson and Crum-
mitt nab $4,000 a week for radio
work and have plenty Of time
to spare. They are rated among
the top notch air entertainers.
Excuse me here, if I remark some
of their jokes are terrible. They
should dig up a good pun and fun
man in the interest Of better
comedy.
Sanderson and Crummitt now
turn cold shoulder on vaudeville
offers at twice the salary R-K-O
refused them two years ago.
