The Washington times., 1935-07-22

In some respects, the season
is pretty much Of a ginger
bread show, with its tents,
bandwagon, domestic menager-
les, collossally.rich followers,
mountebanks. and all the usual
embellishments. But what a
show!
When the racing season is in
full swing, no spot in the coun-
try can equal Saratoga for ex-
element, for cosmopolitan color;
when it's over, there isn't a
duller spot in the State.
OF course racing is now the
principal attraction during
August at the historic upstate
spa, which was noted for it's
health-giving waters long be-
fore a horse breeder set foot in
the place. The track is the
only place to go to every after
noon, and during the hours
when the thoroughbredS are
running, the town proper is
practically deserted.
The night life is not a bit
less hectic, for Saratoga and it's
outlying districts are filled with
night clubs-some ultra1smart,
some hotSy-totSy, and some
downright rowdy.
Whitneys There
There are three Whitney
boxes again this season: one for
Cornelius Vanderbilt Sonny"
Whitney, another Tor his aunt,
Mrs. Payne Whitney, and a
third for his cousin, John Hay
"Jock" Whitney. All three have
homes in or near Saratoga, and
will be in residence some time
during the season.
Mr.. George H. Bull, who is
president of the Saratoga ASso-
citation, is already in residence,
and has his box reserved.
Others who have made reSer-
vationS include the former
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Ogden L. Mills; Mrs. George
Mesta, Mr.. A. c. Bostwick, Mr..
William F. Hit. Mr.. joseph E.
Widener, Mrs. William r. Coe,
Mr.. Thomas Hitchcock, Mrs.
Thomas H. Somerville, Mr..
Parker Corning, Mr.. F. Am
brose Clark and Mr.. George
Sloane.

There certain something about Saratoga during August
that "ges 1t isn't only the horses; it isn't alone the
night life; it certainly ism the bathsits just indefn-

urally command the larger theater.
In addition G. B. S. also uses Car
negie Hall and the Mecca Temple in
New York from time to time. During
1884 the New York audience shows of
that network attracted $4,000 Wis
itors, but the attendance this year is
running almost twice as high.
During 1884 the N. B. C. enter
tanned l,089,743 studio guests, or an
average of more than 10000 a month,
in its New York, Chicago and San
Francisco divisions. The average
monthly N. B. c. attendance in New
York last year was 67,287, in Chicago
23,15l, and in San Francisco 373. At
tendance is considerably higher so
far this year. Outside halls have to
be hired by both networks in Los
Angeles, where more and more shows
are now being originated.
TRASHING radios big leagues, as
~ many a young hopeful has dis
covered, is an enormously dis
couraging job. Even the present fad
for amateur hours and networks and
stations has opened the gates for very
few new artists. Yet new and again
real talent is discovered from obscure
sources, and it is radios constant mis-
sion to develop that talent for its own
good.
Out Of the thousands of ambitious
people. mostly youngsters, who are
trooping before the microphone Of
the broadcasting studios these days,
two outstanding new stars have been
brought to light who. in the writer's
opinion, have already earned solid
place for themselves in the exclusive
radio armament.

year-old italian girl of Chicago, pos
sessing a really beautiful soprano voice,
and wyoming Jack" O'Brien, cow
