POLLOCK AND PAL
 MAKE GREAT TEAM
Ladybugs' Inseparable on or Off Air in Last
 Eight Years

Since they've been on the air over National Broadoasting com. pAny networks together, Muricl Pollock and Veo Lnwnhurst have been known either by their names or as the LadybuRs, but it would be accurately descriptive to list them as "Tho Perfect Team"
 For moro than eight years they hAve been playing together on the air and for tho last Ave years thoy have boon inseparablo--on tho air or off.
 vee and Muriei first met at . party moro than eight years ago, and moro as lark than anything else they formed n team. They didn't take 1t very seriously at the time, however, and broko up only Co reform "Tho Lndybugs" thrco years later. This time they stuck together, according to Murlel, "bee. seemed the only thing to do."
 New York theator shortly after they wore reunited, appearing as pierrot and Pierretto at tho pianos and were 50 amused at tho sight they preaented---Vao Is nearly c foot taller than Muriei---that thcy decided to stick together for their own amusement.
 And plenty of amusement they've had in the days sinco thon.
 "Working with Muriel," says Wee, "is tho most effsetIve laugh tonic I know. We've had hundreds Of amusing things happen on our broadcasts. Queoriy enough, hard. iy anything gets past my funny. bone on solo ahowh but on my shows with Muriol we have con. stantly to guard ourselves against c good gigglo.nt on the air."
 Both of the girls nre well known as composers aB woli as plhnlsts and both have madn many phono. graph recordings. They also made many plano rolls. Muricl Pollock wrote the score for "Pleasure Bound" musical comedy hit of q flow years ago. and both have writ- ton many popular hits
 Ask MurIci who is tho best com poser, pianist and nil.'round radio artist on tho air. and sh0'll toll you it's Vee. Ask vee tho same question and tho answer will come right back at you, "Muriol."
