Ventriloquism Revived.

Ventruoqulsm seemed to be dying
art in America until Edgar Bergen
and his dummy, named Charley Nc
Carthy, scored such an instant Sue
cess on the Rudy Vallee hour some
months ago that they were called back
week after week and even substituted
for Rudy as master OF ceremonies
when he went over to London for
the coronation. Secret Of their sue
cess with the unseen and unseeing
audience, it Is said in radio circles,
was the lively patter and Bergen's
device of having himself ribbed" by
his dummy. Indeed, wooden-faced
Charley Mccarthy is even better
known than IS his master. Now Ber-
gen proposes to organize an American
Society of Ventriloquists among the
40 or so that are left on the American
stage-and it has been suggested that
Charley be chosen as vice president in
charge of dummies.

nevertheless. he could put his baton
aside and step up to the microphone
with saxophone, guitar or banjo.
nONOR Of one Of the most unusual
contracts in radio is Ken Murray.
who has just signed pretty Marlyn
Stuart for three more years TO read
just one line on his weekly program.
Under the salary terms, she is paid
more per word than perhaps any one
else on the air. The line, of course,
is Mama, oh. mama, that mans
here again" which opens and closes
the Murray show.
Ken discovered" Miss Stuart last
year when he was starring on Broad
way in Earl CAROLS Sketch Book"
He Immediately put her under per-
sonal contract, and when Hollywood
was set for the originating point Of
his new broadcast Marlyn came
out west too, lust to say one line"
Asst week marked the beginning of
Kate Smiths seventh year in
radio. When asked what special OBJ
servance would mark her anniversary
she replied Its not just my radio
birthday" You seem to forget that
1t will be Ted's sixth year just as
much as it's mine" Kate pointed
out that Ted Collins, her manager,
has been present at every one of
her broadcasts and that she has never
made professional appearance with
out him.
One Spring night in 1880 Ted
Tipped coin while waiting for a
Long Island train, and tails" decided
that he should go to see a Broadway
hit of that season, Flying High"
For the first time he heard the rich
voice Of the girl who was, under his
guidance. to sing her way into the
homes and hearts of millions. Almost
before the final curtain he was back
stage to arrange recordings for a
phonograph company with which he
was then associated Less than a
month later he was Hates manager.

Cashes In on Air Feud.

JUST about the only person to gain
a direct cash return out of the
now defunct Benny-Allen feud was 10
year-old Stuart Canin Of Edgemere,
Long Island The total was $2O5
from radio alone.
The youthful violinist, whose first
appearance in the Allen Town Hall
last December 80 was the unsuspecting
cause Of the row, inasmuch as his
musical ability led Allen to comment
adversely about Benny's flddling, re-
ceived $55 for that broadcast. Later
on in the fight he made a repeat
appearance for another SIS. Then
on the Sunday night he was Benny's
guest his pay was $l0O.

Germans Get Patents.

Great activity in radio in Germany,
particularly in television in short wave
broadcasting, Is reflected in the I'M
usual number of patents granted Ger
man inventors by the United States
Patent Office in recent weeks. Fifteen
were granted in one day last week
alone, including three to the noted
radio pioneef Manfred Won Ardenne,
covering snort wave and cathode ray
tube methods.

ed Of Staying Mrs. Lizzie Jaynes
in the Garden T-shoppe at Co
lumbia Road and Eighteenth
Street N. W., in 1881, was given
another 3O-day stay of execution
by President Roosevelt.
Announcement came through
the office of Attorney General
Homer s. Cummings that the
order Of the President had post
poned the execution until June

the crime, Jordan was released.
Months later he wrote Washing

ing to get married and wanted
to make sure his name had been
cleared. A detective sent to New

Workers Ordered
 Stand By To Go Back Work
(By The Associated Press)

(By The ASSOclated PToSS1
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, - Maritime workers were ordered to stand by for an immediate return to work when the long tieup ends officially, with the possibility that work might be resumed late today after a state ment was made public by John Hogan, chief dispacther here for the uA hiring hall.
 He said he had orders for a hundred and sixty gangs of six teen men each, to move the great accumulation of cargo.
 Fred Kelley, secretary of the Maritime Federation announced that all ballots had been receiv- ed, except a scattered few returns from the Pacific Northwest.
 Vancouver, Washington long shoremen voted 77 to l in favor of peace.
 The tug boatmen's strike here still remained unadjusted, but maritime men said it was only necessary to dock the big ships, and not to move them out.

Young Farmer Is
 Said To Be Killer
(By The Associated Press) WILLOW SPRINGS, Mo-, Feb

WILLOW SPRINGS, Mo-, Feb 4, Sallow-faced, overalled, Robert Kenyon, aged 20, farmer, con fessed to killing Dr. J. C. Davis after turing him into the country last week on fake call for medi- cal aid.
 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents announced that a first de- gree murder warrant had been issued at White Plains by Prose cutor William Robert.
 Sheriff Cladue Garrett said that Kenyon would be taken to Kan sas City for safe keeping, until the trial.
 The family of Dr. Davis had tried twice to contact the kid naper of the medico. The sec- ond time they announced they were read to pay the five thous- ana dollars demanded.
 At Kansas City Kenyon, the young Ozark farmer, refuted his earlier confession and insisted that Dr. Davis had been abduct- ed and slain by a mysterious and hill country acquaintance dubbed ''The Nighthawk".
 He also clung stubbornly to a new alibi that the Nighthawk had forced him to write and mail a ransom note. Kenyon is is being held in solitary confine- ment.
 'This Nighthawk feller knowed I stole a motor car over in Mis- souri, He said if I didn't write the ransom note he would turn me in. So I done it. When the federals caught me at the post office mailing it, that's all I had to do with the business, said Kenyon when questioned by the authorities.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

ed the Fairbanks Ice Carnival last year stated that they are confident Nome easily could have won last year. They feel that Nome could have sent any one of a half dozen of it's beauties & won hands down.. Therefore, it behooves the people of Nome to send the best candidate available. Miss Alaska, hast years winner, had the honor of going to Allan tic City to compete in the nation al contest for the coveted title of Miss America. It is a known fact that any girl who goes to Atlantic City is well on her way to both fame and fortune and a great many of our present stage and screen stars were once beauty contest winners from some ob- scure small town.
 AS soon as contestant files her candidacy the Nome Kennel Club will have her photographed. This will be paid for by the Club and each candidates picture will ap- pear at the following places:
 Polet's Store,
 Nome Drug Company,
 The Nevada.
 The Board of Trade.
 Bon Monche Store,
 Pioneer Drug Company,
 Votes will be counted daily by the contest Manager and stand ings will appear each day in this paper. On Saturday, March 9th at Midnight the contest will close and the queen will be crowned Miss Nome with all due pomp
