A five-yeaY-old girl whose indenti- ty was not announced, thrilled radio audiences with her singing during the dramatization of Q heroic epi- sode on Kate Smiths Bandwagon show, last Thursday. Listeners commented on the realism which the petite actress contributed to the role.
 The child was representing little Jeannie Farrillo who averted fire panic in North Bergen, N. J., amusement park by coolly continu- ing to sing and holding the atten- tion of the audience until the fire was under control.
 What no one who heard the pro- gram knew was that the diminutive singer was none other than Jeannie Farrillo, the heroine, herself. An- other child, engaged for the part, developed cold and was unable to appear. So at the last minute, Ted Collins, Rates actor manager, sum- moned Jeannie. Hired at profess sional rates, like any other per- former, she stepped to the micro- phone-and inpersonated herself.

Christmas Shopping
 Earliest Since 1929
Thousands of Stores According to National Retail Dry Goods Ass'n Report Early Interest in Holiday Buying

New York, Nov. 13.--A forward surge in Christmas shopping is al- ready evident in retail stores throughout the country according to the National Retail Dry Goods association, which declared today that holiday buying this season hai begun earlier than in any year since 1929 and gives ample promise of be- ing exceedingly robust from now on until Christmas"
 "Thousands of stores are report ing early interest from consumers in holiday merchandise" Charming E. Sweitzer, managing. director, as- serted. confidence in business con- ditions appears to be broadly evi- denced, and with political distrac- tons definitely out of the way, there is genuine belief among merchants that consumer spending will now be unleashcd in ull force for a tidal wave of holiday spending. Total re- tail sales for 1938 will undoubtedly be greater than for any year since i930, and greater gift-giving among millions may make the present Christmas season the busiest foi stores sine, 1929. Sales during the period for the country as a whole are likely to show a l2 to 15 per cent increase over last year."
 Big 1886 Increase Seen
 The country's stores have indicar- cd that they are ready to meet the onslaught of enthusiastic shoppers by stocking an unusually large sup ply of merchandise well in advance The N. R. D. c. A. estimated that orders for fall and Christmas mer- chandise by stores of all classes would show an increase of 7.6 per cent over 1895, and total approxi- mately $3,850. 100000.
 The expansion in orders for mer- chandise has speeded production n mary industries to capacity levels according to the N. R. D. c. A, anc there is some indication that iur- ther demands, particularly for re- orders and fill-ins, will find some producers troubled with the prob lem of delivering goods in time lo' the avalanche of Christmas buying The early reorders on holiday mer- chandise by stores in the New YorA market confirm general statement of merchants that the rush for gif' merchandise is well under way.
 Typical Christmas Packages
 An inkling of what the typica Christmas package will contain thi' year, was revealed by the N R. D G. A., from @ survey among rep. resentative department stores in 5t cities as to The departments 1t t anticipated will show the greatest activity in those stores during the holiday season.
