ago there appeared a picture Of
Quentin Reynolds. 1t came from
his press agent, with q somewhat
Skinny caption which was used as
was. But maybe you'd like to know
more about Quent Reynolds. You
might like TO know that, because
when had the freedom Of Golfers
Weekly editorial rooms he was one
Of the nice stars, like Walter (BlD
Davenport, and Bill Courtney, and
Charlie Colebaugh, and an old boss
Of mine, who did better at putting
a golf ball into waste-basket than
he ever did on O green.
quentin Reynolds Is red-headed,
big, lusty. He Is just the type that
he seems In his pic. He Is no COW.
ard. He has had q great RECORD rs
o war correspondent. But before
all that he was q writer Of fiction
for Golfers which will always stand
out In my mind, as tribute to Quent
Reynolds, for the lad had a fair for
q phrase that you don't flnd In or.
binary writing. He even wrote love
stories.
At the 81 Club he stands out as
always big men stand out in a
crowd. He was born In Brooklyn.
His love for his mother, and the
kindness he showed that lady, Is
possibly the greatest thing about
him. And that ! suppose Is hull
ofahigh tribute.
His program is Salute to Youth"
over NBC on Tuesday nights. ]
haven't caught it. But II It's any.
thing like his movie short. This
Is London" your heart viii crowd
into your shoes and come back to
choke in your throat.
Obs does things In q nice way.
Even If you're a stranger to CHS.
And when Leo Heatly died was
afraid ! was a. stranger to CHS.
But that wasn't so. It shall never
be so, as long as George Perles Is
there, and Arthur Crandall, and q
very nice gal called Ann Harding.
Over at NBC there was a great
guy called Leighton Blood. His
nickname Is "gypper" after an exc
cuted racketeer. He fought IN
World War I as q captain Of the
tank corps, and he beat out Patton
when 1t came to that mans girl.
There would be no use In mention
ing this, in this column, except that
after the war he served as captain
in the French Foreign Legion, be-
cause "things were too damned
quiet" when he started home, and
before he quit to get back In the
war effort he worked for NBC.
If ever you have a desire for
nice music tune in on WQXR. Even
before met a couple Of nice lads
there liked their 11:00 to midnight
program. But maybe you'd prefer
jazz. In that case turn to Kay KY
ser.
Perenia1ly that Lad does q great
fob. and If the lads and lassies, to
quote from another bandleader, are
any judges, my own opinion is jus
titled.
when I was out In Hollywood an
old sun, New York; pal Of mine
assured me he hadn't gone Holly
wood. And then he told me he and
his wife were living In separate
homes, had separate cars. and the
dinner check for the three OF US
simple little dinner 1t was-was
s33.83. / saw the check and I drew
attention to It to my old pal. !
said: at was q swell dinner, but
amt that one helluva price?"
He said, II know It. But that's
the way things are out here. Easy
come, easy CO."
And that was the way thought
about Il the last time ] bet on 9
horse. I won a good deal OF dough.
But Il went. And that's why ! think
that listening to radio programs. "
whatever home I may md, Is not
Q bad thing 70 do.
which brings me up to what !
wanted 70 say. Have you noticed
/ that WATR and WBRx ere caF-
