STREET SINGER
NOW PERFORMING
FOR CHESTERFIELD

In Arthur Tracy, THE Stree
Singer" (aptly described as a mel
ody vagabon0 a voice and charactel
of exceptional interest is brought
to the coast-to-coast radio audi
ence by Chesterfield cigarettes.
Tracy began singing when but 6
boy of six years. Born in Phila-
delphia 81 years ago, it was his
delight as child to stage im-
promptu recitals in the yard of hi;
fathers home, and the clear
strong, young voice earned many g
penny from appreciative neighbors
His parents, who now are his
most ardent fans, frowned on then
sons musical ambitions and he was
sent to the University of Pennsyi-
yania to prepare for career in
architecture. But the call of music
was in his soul, and local voice
teacher took him in hand. The
youth worked so hard he lost his
voice and for seven months he
could not speak above a whisper
Then his voice returned. Mean
time, he studied violin in the Curtis
Institute of Music. Finding, how
ever. that holding the violin unde.
his chin impaired his voice he gave
up the instrument and went back
to his singing.
AT the age of 10 he sang pro-
fessionally for the first time. His
voice soon won recognition and he
went OH tour for New York the
atrical producer. He played in
stock in California for a year and
then Broadway saw him in such
musical hits as Blossom Time
and The Student Prince" Having
crossed the continent three times
in tours that took him into every
state in the union, he returned to
New York and saw possibilities for
his talent in radio. Applying at a
small broadcasting station he was
abruptly switched from the micro
phone with the stereotyped you'll
hear from us later That later"
became five months and then a
friend obtained for him an audi
ton at the Columbia broadcasting
systems studios where his ability
was at once recognized ond THE
Street Singer" was introduced.
So great is the range of his voice
that he is frequently asked whether
he is a tenor or a baritone and for
this question Tracy has reply Of
his own. II am a 'baritenor'." i"
And because he sings in IL lam
guages, with the accent of a native
in each, thousands of listeners have
asked his nationality. His usual
reply is: I'm international"
Arthur Tracy finds genuine en-
joyment in singing and thousands
of radio fans have written to say
that they feel the singers pleasure.
You sing as though you love it,
they say Tracy attributes his pop
ularity as The Street Singer" to
his gift of sharing his enjoyment
with his radio audiences.

STATES NATURE
MADE MISTAKE
ON SEA GULLS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. WP)
After 10 years study, Ed Spellman
admits he has not yet solved the
mystery of why sea gulls have fall
en- arches.
Spellman, ferry conductor on
San Francisco bay, contends that
nature played a mean prank on
the birds which loiter around the
edge of the sea. The gulls were not
provided knees.
Man has knees to absorbe the
shock when he jumps" explained
Spellman. "But when gull lands
he has to take the jolt on his
arches.
I've watched gulls light around
the docks all day, and I'd go home
at night with my feet aching from
just watching them"
Gulls were provided with a CAL
loused place on the rear of each
foot to act as shock absorbers, ac-
cording to Spellman. These "heel
pads" soon wear off.
Anybody can see that their
feet hurt" Spellman sdeclared. "I
see gulls every day lean back on
their heels and look around for a
place. to sit down. It's obvious
their arches ache"
Spellman's interest in the foot
troubles of the sea gulls has at
tracted the attention of many
commuters, who ride his ferry
daily, and the subject frequently
comes in for round table" dis
cussion during the trip across the
bay.
