City. Her concert work took her
to many cities in the East and
Middle West, and her early broad

His Majesty King Edward VIII
after tonight will be composer of
importance-of sufficient impor-
lance that his composition, NAL
lorca," will have been played by a
well-knoWn orchestra over a ma
tional network. Mark WarnoW is
to feature the number on his CHS
(WFBM) broadcast at tonight.
Conductor Warnow, long an adj
mirer of the new British King, dis
covered the song in a London pub
fishing company'S music catalog,
two years ago. Detecting within
its simple score very definite SYM
phonic possibilities, the CHS con-
ductor secured the number, orches-
trated it for symphony rendition,
and put it aside, awaiting an ap-
propriate occasion for its radio de-
but. The occasion he has chosen is
Empire Day, which will be cele-
brated throughout the United
Kingdom Sunday.
To help Colonel Stoopnagle and
Budd celebrate their fifth anniver-
sary on the Obs network (WFBMD
at 1880 tonight, we now turn this
column over to the brainstorm
which emanated from the nitwits'
headquarters. The message fol-
lows:
Physicians say the Colonel and
Budd are holding up well in the
face of unprecedented plans for
celebrating their anniversary. Gogo
deLys and Leith Stevens orches-
ira are plotting a monster musical
parade and the Colonel has asked
Gogo to sing Bach air againstS
the gay counterpart of Jungle
Jitters' by the orchestra. The re-
guest was refused.

plans for the anniversary celebra-
ton were virtually without founda-
ton. In the first place, there will
not be a huge cake without five
candles. Stoopnagle also refused to
make public a telegram from his
home town of Buffalo which read:
Congratulations on leaving Buff
falo Just five years ago. What you
have done now only confirms our
opinion of you then. We are happy
New York can claim you as her
own
1.-THE Colonel, contrary to Gus
tom which he never followed any
way, is planning not to read the
many kilograms of congratulatlon
which failed to pour in at head
quarters yesterday. Both Stoop-
nagle and Budd asserted the
mighty OBS Playhouse will be filled
with glittering throng of celebri-
ties which will not include Marlene
Dietrich, Clark Gable, Gary Coop
err. Mae West, and generals, admi-
rails or radio editors.

"For the record: Colonel Stoop-
nagle was born Frederick Chase
Taylor in Buffalo, and Budd ar
rived as Wilbur Hulick. Taylor,
interested in amateur theatricals,
was in the lumber business in Buff
falo. Hulick played the saxophone
in Johnny Johnson's orchestra for
a while, and then found himself
stranded in Buffalo without cent.
An executive of WEBR noticed his
gay antics as soda jerker in a
Buffalo drug store. and he soon
was a member Of the Buffalo
Broadcasting Corporation staff as
actor, announcer and continuity
writer.
"One morning Hulick had moth
ing with which to fill a 15-minute
period on the air. He found Chase
Taylor pecking out script on his
typewriter, In five minutes the two
decided to announce themselves as
Colonel Lemuel @. Stoopnagle and
Budd. They lugged portable or
gan into the studio and were off.
A few months later the Colonel
and Budd signed to broadcast over
20 stations of the CHS chain. They
made their network debut May "a,
1931-the rest is radio history"
