Unusual Presents
Come to BOWes.

THE vertebrae of prehistoric ami
NAL, cast-iron razor and ear of
Iowa corn are just a few Of the strange
gifts received by Maj. Bowes which
now are to be found tn one Of New
York's newest and most popular mu-
seunns, the Bowes Exhibit. Among the
objects in the museum is the largest
shoe in the world-size AZ. It is about
8 feet long and has no mate, since it
was never meant to be worn. Another
gift in the giant category is a cigar
which is 4 feet long and weighs 2
pounds.
The major also has received a vial
of multicolored sand from Superior,
Wis: salt crystals from the Great Salt
Lake and lump of copper sulphate
from the same region. Interesting
historical gifts include a piece OF tim
Der from the original Astor Trading
Post, founded at Fond du Lac in
1908, and a bullet found on a Civil
War battlefield in Chattanooga.
Many visitors to the exhibit have
been puzzled by four framed checks
made out to the major. They range
from IS cents to $1l.50, and were paid
out to the major by various townships
to cover his salary for his term Of
honorary Mayor.

and his quintet successfully ad-libbed

from that morning show came the
Raymond Scott Quintet. Already in
terested in swing music, he now could
apply his own ideas. The SATURDAY.
Night Swing Club gave Scott and
his quintet an opportunity to demon
strate their ability to handle any
kind OF a song with only six men.
They never play by note. Every
piece OF music written by Scott is
worked out by the band and mem
orized. 1t was only because Of the
demand of the public through radio
and motion picture appearances and
the sale of his recordings that Scott
put his song compositions on paper.

come tomorrow's radio come
dians and inherit the thrones
4 Of the current testers. That
is the not altogether far-fetched be-
lief of Phil Baker, who is conceded
to know much about the humor busi-
ness.
More and more are comedians
adopting the announcer as an as
sistant fun-maker," says Phil. This
announcer-foil idea was started by
Ed Wynn and Graham McNamee.
Since then, Eddie Cantor has brought
Jimmy Wellington to the fore as an
adept handler of funny lines; Fred
Allen, Stoopnagle and Budd and I
have welcomed Harry Won Zell's as
sistance in comedy routines; Burns
and Allen make good use of John
Cont during their quippy moments;
Jack Benny has made an institution
out of Don Wilson, and 50 on"
"Unquestionably, these announcers
are soaking up vast knowledge of
comedy technique, and they have a
further advantage in having been
trained vocally especially for the mi
crophone in the matter of diction.
Perhaps, then, it is not unreasonable
to assume that the spielers currently
heard with well-known funnymen
eventually might strike out for them
selves as professional rib-ticklers,
should they feel so inclined"
Even serious announcers like David
Ross have proved that they can be
funny during broadcasts featuring
burlesques of other programs. Then,
there are the word-slingers who tell
the studio audiences how to behave
during program. Although they
may have nothing but straight COM
mercials to do while on the air, be-
fore the silence" sign is flashed,
many warm up" the studio visitors
with broadside of humorisms to put
them in receptive humor for whatever
is to follow. Andre Baruch, heard
on the Kate Smith hour, is good
example.

Classics Espoused
By Kostalanetz
With Facility.

A N ORCHESTRA which was found
ed to play popular music has been
transformed into a symphony orches-
ira overnight, as result Of Andre
Kostelanetz's decision to switch from
jazz to the classical idiom.
In making the revolutionary change
Kostelanetz exploded the popular mis-
conception that jazz musicians cannot
play symphony music. His new So
piece orchestra, save for few addi-
tions, has exactly the same members
as the former one, and no substitutions
of classical" for Jazz" musicians had
to be made. The transformation from
popular music to symphony was ac-
complished simply by adding two bas-
soons. four French horns and six more
strings to the already rich violin and
viola sections. Even the saxophones
have been retained in the new set-ur
for the many modern works which
now include parts for saxophone
choirs.
In spite Of the smoothness of the
switchover. there was one thorny prob
lem to overcome. Kostelanetz former
ly had attained many of his brilliant
effects by having soloists and whole
sections leave their places and group
themselves around special mike in
front Of the orchestra. Such mix
ing for symphony orchestras is i'm
possible, because the old masters wrote
for orchestras that stayed put on the
platform. The problem was solved, in
Kostelanetz's words. by bringing the
mountain to Mohammed."
Microphones now will be placed in
advantageous spots in the orchestras IS
midst, these positions having been de-
termined by experiments with a movie
microphone mounted on a movable
boom.

recent demise of the Show Boat"
series, but may have job soon If the

Stoopnagle and Budd are enjoying
comeback as guest stars on several

RURAL JURY PICKED
IN OIL TRUST CASE
Venire to Be in Sec!usion
Throughout Trail, Lasting
Over Three Months.
By the Associated Press

MADISON. Wis. October 5.-Twelve
Jurymen from rural districts of South
ern Wisconsin were ready to hear
evidence in the Federal Governments
prlce-flXing conspiracy case against %
oil companies. 46 individuals and 3
trade publications.
Ihree farmers, two retired farmers.
and a group Of small town business
men comprised the jury charged with
weighing the fate of companies repre-
enting billions in investments.
The Government has charged the
defendants violated the Sherman anti
trust act. 1t contended the oil COM
panies "rigged" the market to raise
and fly gasoline prices in 10 Mid
western States in 1885 and 1886. The
publications are under indictment for
publishing the prices.
The jury will have less freedom than
defendants. Federal Judge Patrick T.
Stone ordered the jurors kept in
custody constantly until the end OF the
trial, perhaps three or four months
hence. Two alternate jurors were
selected.
All mail and newspa pers delivered
to jurors will be censored. Nine of the
jurors are married.
Conviction carries a maximum fine
of $4,000 or Imprisonment from six
