Organist Is Master
OF Weird Noises.
"CIVE me q musical bone rattle
and a skeletons shriek!'

1--WE me q musical bone 1attle

| Such q request might haunt some
musicians. but it doesn't bother young
Charles Paul, organist on the "Ghost
Of Benjamin Sweet" show, for he Is
master of an instrument which car
run the gamut of spookdom. 1t is
the electric organ. Pipeless, its tones
created solely by electric vibrations
it is only three years old; yet Paul
claims 1t has all the musical ingredi-
ents for hollow laugh or sepulchral
sigh.
"Eerie noises" he says, "are pro-
duced only by unfamiliar sounds. The
pipe organ and the orchestra have q
limited number Of tones. and these
are all familiar; but the electric organ,
with its thousands of harmonics. is
full of weird new tones. These, either
alone or in combination, are very
effective for wind, the rafting of
bones, and other spooky effects. !
also use a number of them to give
that peculiar humming background
which is always present when the
ghosts make their entrances"
Another thing about the electric
organ" Mr.. Paul continues. "is its
volume range. You can run from
very loud to very soft in split-second.
This is ideal for scream chords and
crazy laughs. Thunder. explosions,
and earthquakes are also easily OBJ
tanned by playing in the bass and

M English Comedian Harry

English Orchestra Leader
Oscar Bradley for his radio program,
he unknowingly brought together two
old war buddies who had not seen
each other since a day in 1918 when
Bottle" helped carry the wounded
Oscar Bradley to field dressing
station behind the lines in France.
Bottle" and Oscar were reared
within easy rugby kick of each other
in Surrey. England. When the boys
grew up, Bradley became an orchestra
leader and played in the pit for many
of McNaughton's performances on the
stage. The two became fast friends.
With the war they lost track Of
each other. For three years, from
1915 to 1918, they fought on differ
ent fronts, Bradley in the Royal
Field Artillery, McNaughton in the
infantry. But in September, 1918,
Just as McNaughton was en- route
behind the lines for much-needed
rest, passing the first line Of big bat
terry guns, he heard a medical corps
man talking about getting Bradley
to the field dressing station" His
friend had been seriously wounded by
shrapnel and McNaughton lent q
hand to get him to the emergency
hospital.
Next day McNaughton's orders were
to move on, while Bradley had to
spend a year recuperating in hos
pital in England. Bottle" stayed in
the war until the end, Of 40 from
his brigade's original $500 to escape
unscathed. After the war both Nc
Naughton and Bradley came to Amer
lea, but it was not until their radio
engagement with Phil Baker that they
saw each other again.

work is the vast amount of detailed

years ago Columbia featured the songs

mountaineers broadcast direct from
their haunts in hills 20 miles from
the nearest railroad. For one solid
week field technicians and photog-
raphers from New York transported
a ton of equipment-short-Wa trans
mitters, receivers, storage batteries,
microphones-into the hills via trucks,
mules and man power. Impossible
roads. mudholes. flooded creeks were
encountered. They finally set up and
tested their equipment, and the whole
show. a great success, was over in halt
an hour.

test all their resources and ingenuity
Some of these dramatic events included
the Lindbergh kidnapping. the Morrc

their offerings hit the skids.' Most
Of these cases may be attributed to
lack Of public understanding, espec-
tally where something new is being

The Andrew Sisters, after working
with several radio orchestras, "panned"
around booking Offices for a year be-
fore striking gold in the Bel Mir Bist

subsequent radio success. Art Shaws
orchestra originally had a string quar-.
tet and swing brasses but did not click,
yet under his present set-up he has
found continuous work and radio time.
After his initial appearance at the
Casino de Paree. Benny Goodmans
orchestra almost folded because tho
public did not take to it Immediately.
Numerous others including Benny
Fields. Bob Crosby's orchestra, Edgar
Bergen-Charlie Mccarthy and Bing
Crosby experienced similar failures in
their careers.
Will Hudson illustrates his own
case. His first orchestra in Detroit
failed and he came to New York,
where he acquired reputation as song
writer of such hits as "Moonglow,"
organ Grinder Swing" "Tormented,"
Mr.. Ghost Goes to Town" and about
100 other selections. The reputation
made from his song successes enabled
him to return to the orchestra field
where he has played more college en-
gagements than any other orchestra
and has remained a consistent best
seller on phonograph records. Will
Hudson and his orchestra will be heard
this summer on Nationwide chain
