Ozzie Nelson, Hotel New Yorker maestro. has just turned down a marvellous offer to appear at the Paramount theater in New York fo rthe week of November 23rd. The Paramount theater, one of New York's largest playhouses, wanted Nelson to appear there that week with the Joe Penner picture. College Rhythm. Ozzie. how evr, turned the job down because he believed it would interfere with his work at the Hotel New Yorker.
 The December issue of Radio Mirror carries the following item, Martha Mears and Sid Brokaw. violinist with Ozzie Nelson's or chestra, are said to have serious intentions" P. S. - Sid and Mar that were, married in New York on October 18th.
 All New York is waiting for the brilliant opening to take place on November 27th at the Cocoanut Grove of the Park Central Hotel when Scott Fisher and his Orches- tra return to New York. The three DeMarco sisters, heard on radio and nseveral series of commercial broadcasts, will also appear with the orchestra. Fishers biggest booster among the band leaders is Ozzie Nelson. who orig inally discovered him in a little inn in New Jersey.
 Cross and Dunn have been se- lected by the Standard Oil Com pany to be the star act with Guy Lombardo and his Orchestra on their nine week goodwill tour. These boys we've heard on the Rudy Vallee Fleischman Hour ten times, anr are currently appearing at Ahe Hollywood Restaurant in New York. They will remain there until December 1st when the act opens in New Haven, Connecticut. These boys certainly have gone far since they came to New York last spring.

 WATR to NEG. A success 4lozy with grand old trouper as IIro is Fritzi Scheff, whose Sunday HftEFnoon series over the Water DufF station last summer is still talked about here as grand piece Of 6howmanship and entertain meiif. Things hadn't been going so we'll with Fritzi when Fulton Market booked her for the series of broadcasts, but with the first program it was obvious that nhe still had the old spark that will, leave her name a legendary one in the light-operatic world. ss The programs clicked" and Eritzi got a contract for a mid West tour, first going to New York <o guest star on a special NEG commercial program. Now shes booked to appear on the re- Van1ped NEG House Party series, which gets underway Monday on the WEAF chain.

 Fritzi Is one of the grandest persons we've ever met. !. The show world spell is in her blood; nothing can take 1t away from a character as courageous as Fritzi is. We, like the rest of Wa ferbury, feel a personal pride in Fritzi's accorl plishments, for ours js her adopted city, and further, in the fact that it was her WATR series and the resultant publicity ghe obtained which has brought her back again to the "big time.'i

the girl might be dead. in which event
he sought to spare the girls uncle.
The sight of the child calmly sucking
an orange changed his fears to
thanksgiving. His first words, how

Are you dead, honey?"
The answer being obvious, June
did not deign to dignity it with a
reply.
So quickly did word Of the rescue

In response to the cries of the crowd

the crowd and seemed to enjoy the

Mother Weeps Unrestrainedly.
Mrs. Helen Robles, the mother, who
had been almost distracted with fear

She showered June with kisses and
clung to her hungrily.
June asked for her bunnies as soon
as she was put on a bed in the same
dress. now torn and dirty. in which
she was kidnapped. She did not ap-

Williams was taken into custody.
Kerrigan fed, only to be apprehended
later. In a darkened room, bound

The news of GettleS return spread
quickly as one suspect after another
was brought in. Before Gettle had
been taken to the sheriff's homicide
bureau a large crowd had gathered.
Another throng cheered wildly when
police sirens announced his arrival at

push Gettle safely through the mob
