mittee yesterday. At exactly
4:40 p. M, he asked whether his
con ribution to a tbs p. m.
broadcast on WJSV could be an
original song dedicated to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Promptly at tbs he pulled
into the studio and two minutes

I knew Benny Davis had writ
ten at least 200 song hits, among

KIDS MOVING ALONG
Dear Mr.. Kelley.
No doubt you will remember
meas was once an usher at
the Fox Theater-and later en-
barked on theatrical career as
a member of the original GO
ing Native" revue, headed by
Brooke Johns in 1888.
Frequently, / see members of
that revue-many of them have
risen to heights in the enter.
tainment field.
Evalyn Tyner was for many
months one of the chief attrac-
tions at Radio City'S Rainbow
Room.
John Lippy, the magician, un.
der whom / served my appren-
ticeship, is on the radio as the
Highway Traveller"
Mary Ellers, the acrObatic
dancer, is a featured attraction
in the Philadelphia night clubs.

are nov featured dancers, and
one of them, Julia Cunningham,

erS. Murphy was assigned to the
picture after a late decision to
have a dancing lead.
The swing trial of Betty Brad
ley for numbering when You
and 1 Were Young Maggie" was
something not included in the
original scenario, and so, I i'm
agine, Producer Buddy De Sylvia
thrust it into the feature while
it was in production. AS
rhythmic contribution to the
gayety of the revue story it's a
gem.
Who could tell that the song,
You're a Sweetheart" as regis
tered by Alice Faye, would lead
the nations hit parade in Janu-
ary? Not to mention MY Fine
Feathered Friend" and other
catchy tunes.
AMUSING BY-PLAY
AS for Ken Murray I had
never seen him play a light
comedians role with more IA
cility and assurance. He has
his stooge, Oswald, the oh yeah
man, hanging around, but only
a taste of their radio technique
is injected into the action. Muir
ray plays a happy-go-lucky
Broadway producer and gets
every ounce of value out of his
lines and business.
Then there are the Novelle
Brothers with their tWeet-tWeet
chippering, Mazda and Ray in
some clever lariat tWirling,
chubby Charlie Winninger in
an Oklahoma medicine man bit,
and the Four PlayboyS with
their singing guitars.
The story idea is little de-
crepid, telling as it does of the
producer who can't pay for the
scenery and has all the other
problems of putting on a show.
You realize that eventually the
show will go on, and that it will
be a hit. So, for lack of sus-
pense. you must have amusing
by play and entertainment, and
You're a Sweetheart has It.
Yes. I marked it Grade A, en-
joyed it all the way. But it was
hard to realize that this was the
story 1 read three times last
summer while riding the Pull
mans from San Francisco to
Chicago. 1t just makes one
think again that authors and
composers should be eternally
grateful for good actors and
good singers and dancers.
