Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcasting
By STANLEY BIGELOW

Steadily on the increase is the
sepia counterpart of the Society
of Mayflower Descendants. 1t
hasn't been named, but it could
be called the Society of Galloway
Cousins, for all of its members
make claim to at least that close
relationship with Cab Galloway,
his hi-de-high-ness of ho-de-ho.
Only two musical members of
the Clan Galloway are recognized
by Cab. They are his brother
Elmer, who holds forth with a
band in Washington, and his
sister Blanche, lately introduced
with her orchestra over a CHS
network from WCAU, Phila-
delphia, as a counter-attraction
to Cab, an N.B.C. top-notcher.
Then come the cousins! The
names of none of them appear
in the Galloway family Bible in
Baltimore, but they are one
sheeted from Decatur, Ca, 10
Dubuque, Ia, as they barnstorm
about. The smaller the town, the
closer the relationship to Cab
Galloway. There's Cab Gallo
ways SISTER" Jean Galloway and
band out West and Cab Gallo
ways brother" Dick Galloway
and his orchestra down South.
There's a Walter Galloway and
even a Cal Galloway, who uses no
small type on his posters and
has a Cotton Club Orchestra, too.
Every one of them uses Minnie
the Moocher" as signature and
cuts loose with many a hi-de-hi
and ho-de-ho.
Cab is philosophical about it,
though. The country may be
slipping out of depression and
into democracy, but all the
Calloways are working.

CURB LIST DULL
+. IN IRREGULAR
DEALINGS
BY THEODORE KOSLOW

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 GN.S0
The curb market lapsed into ire
gular dullneSs today, with absence
of the aggressive bidding up
tactics so evident yesterday, in.
fluencing a generally meaningless
churning around of prices along
the line.
Dealings Contract
Some encouragement was de-
rived from the sharp contraction
in dealings, but sideline observers
attributed this to the protracted
weekend holiday.
Electric Bond and Share acted
best among the utility favorites,
up 1s at its top and refusing to
yield much under it's previous
close. Columbia Gas and Elec-
trio preferred showed a gain of
almost a point at 86A.
Gold mining shares turned
stronger, with Pioneer Gold Mines
establishing a new peak for the
past two years at S, a gain of 3s
Lake Shore was up 13s at the 33
level.
SpeciaIties Improve
SpecisIEies were generally i'm
proved, with Great Atlantic and
Pacific Stores preferred advancing
2 points to 1872, Aluminium up a
point at 48, and Safety Car
Heating and Lighting up u point
at %.
Utility obligations continued
slightly improved in the bond
division.

0, Yeah?

For weeks Ed Wynn. the Fire
Chief, has declared openly that
he didn't like broadcasting and
that it never can take the place
of the stage to him or anyone
else.
Despite the phenomenal success
and popularity of his broadcaSts
Tuesday evenings over an N.B.C.
network, Wynn has maintained
this attitude. But the other day,
during a conversation, the real
reason for this stand was di-
vulged-and it's just a sporting
matter; the spirit of competition
and the love of victory.
"The micrOphOne has been
characterized as 'cOId,'" said
Wynn. "That may be. But at
the same time, it's too gentle.
Sounds funny, eh? But it isn't.
1 don't question the possibilities
of radio; the opportunities.
"But how is it done? You
want to do something, and you
do it-nO matter what happens.
But take the stage. Take, for
example, a performance the
other night. I tried a new joke.
1t fell flat. There wasn't even
a chuckle in the house.
$50 then I had to go to work
and win back that audience.
1 had lost it, and I had to get
it back again. When 1 did, 1
had won the fencing match,
and it made me feel better than
ever. So far the radio has
lacked that spirit Of combat.
But as 1 said, while like the
theater better, I can't deny the
opportunities of radio"
