as the five previous releases of the
campaign.
Studying the results of the cam
paign so far, clerks in charge OF
the distribution found that the re-
cordings of Franz Schubert's i'm
mortal unfinished Symphony" have
proven to be the most popular
of the first five symphonic works
released-at least as far as volume
of distribution is concerned. More
than 5000 sets of this work have
been obtained.
The recordings of Ludwig van
Beethoven's Symphony No. S in c
Minor" which were released about
two weeks after the Schubert rec
ords became available, are running
a close second, with more than 6,40O
sets distributed.
More than 4,7O0 sets of the re-

third release of the campaign, and
more than 3,700 of the recordings of
Wagner's preludes to die Meister-

release, also have been purchased.
Although released only week ago,
1000 recordings of the fifth cam
paign offering, Bach's "Branden-
burg Concertos, Nos. and g." have
been distributed
AS usual, all five previous releases
of the program will remain avail
able for distribution at the special

Box theater.
II wasn't hard to find a name
for the Average Man but finding
the actor who could portray him
was quite a problem. The studio
finally decided to make up a photo
graphic montage consisting of
about five hundred average Ameri-
can faces, printed one on top of
the other. and then try to find the
man who most closely resembled
the result. When the composite
was developed it was found that
the average man bore a striking
resemblance to-of all people-an
actor by the name of Jack Haley.
So Haley became Mr.. Average
Man.
