The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-05

Last Friday night, what with
spring being IN the air, and myself
Ia 8 dolce far niette mood, and
fearing that nostalgia might be
lurking around the corner, / SWITCH
ed on the radio. and caught the ex-
cruciatingly funny quiz 1T Pays to
Be Ignorant" which comes barging
h every Friday over WABC at 8
p. m.
Now, barging, is hardly a polite
word, suppose, and therefore
shall apologize right here to Mr..
Tom Howard for using it. But
nevertheless / shall repeat it. Tom
Howard and his corps Of zanies
came barging right into my sensi-
bilties to knock nostalgia, and the
blue-devils which are always In
nOstalgia's train, into something
fiatter than a newspaperman's
pocketbook on the eve Of payday.
From the moment the quiz opened,
until it came to an end, my chaste
and virginal-like room in Mr.. Gables
hosiery rang and echoed with peals
Of unreStrained and raucous laugh
ter. which would have brought tears
Of Joy to the heart of a jovial god.
/ sat in my chair, my legs spread
out before me, and hung on to my
sides while the maddest, maelstrom
Of merriment threatened every mo-
1nent to send me into one last
convllIsion from which I might not
recover. But I didn't care. After
an, that would be a pleasant way
to start on the Great Adventure.
It Is not my province to explain
why ut Pays to Be Ignorant" is a
downright funny show; nor is 1t in
my sphere to analyze 1t for faults,
and the effect it may have on the
very young. I won't even go so far
as to say you'll think it a funny
show. But I haven't talked to
any one VINO has heard 1t who
doesn't feel pretty much the same
as I. And that's enough for me.
TO restore myself to some sembl-
axlce of normally, after listening to

This program has always been tops
with me, as has "Your All Time Hit

over WEAF at $3.50. Bright star of
that show Is the irrepressible Lulu
Bates whom, remember as incom-
parable for a longer time than each
Of rs would like to admit.
There's a great, lusty quality to
Lulu Bates voice that puts to
shame some feminine singers,
whose amorouS throatiness some
times reminds me Of a far-advanced
consumptive going into the last
gasp. And ! ought to know, for once
I was one of those birds myself.
When Lulu Bates sings you get
singing. And there's no doubt about
that. At the risk of seeming biased

work late in New York because ]
stayed home to. listen to his Every
thing Goes show, which used to
put me in good hurnor with the
world, every morning over WEAF at
8.
The two are - and they neither
need nv word for this-one Of the
funniest team, If not the funniest,
I've ever come across. Last Friday
night, with my neatly bandaged ribs
breaking themselves all over again,
again filed my room with loud
and unSeemly mirth. In fact the
place was so filled with laughter, for
a moment or two / was afraid there
wasn't going to be enough room for
us both. Especially when memories
crowded in, memories of long-ago,
old-time burlesQue shows, when
there were real comics ON the stage,
and the word Strip-teaSe hadn't
been coined :: All, me. Fetch
me my wheel chair and slippers -.
Like all true topers at a bar who
hasn't consumed the drink in front
of him before he is thinking of the
next to come, never can write or
ponder on any radio fun program
but my thoughts 30 winging to one
called Duffy'S Tavern. For long
time, of a Tuesday night, (WJZ,
$500 it has been my wont to duck
other engagements to tune in on
Mr.. Gardeners show. In fact by
right of attendance ought to have
my own seat, and church warden
pipe and pewter mug in the joint
on Third Avenue where "the elite
meet to eat"
Because of all this, I am glad to
hear that "Duffy's Tavern" will not
close its doors for at least another
year. Under a renewal contract
signed by the sponsor 1t will be
heard as usual on Tuesdays over the
Blue Network, with slight inter-
lude. The present series concludes
June q. Then Gardner will take a
three month vacation to make mo-
ton picture for Paramount. He will
return to the air in october.
But there's still quite while to
enjoy Duffy's between now and the
end Of June, so perhaps you'd like
to hear something about the pro-
gram which you may not have
known before. and especially about
Ed Gardner himself.
"Duffy,s Tavern" is Ed Archer's
own brain child. A native Of New
York, Ed had tried almost every
thing else before he took to the
stage for livelihood. AS male Sec
rotary, typewriter salesman, piano
peddler, and entrepreneur Of min
iature golf course, Gardeners lack
Of success was positively magnifi-
cent. When he essayed the role of
shoe-string theatrical producer, this
lack 6f success was transcendentaly
colossal. And that was the way
things were with Ed until he hap
pened into a job as radio director
for an advertising agency.
Here his ability to insult the big
name people in Hollywood while
producing the Good News" show
earned him a unique reputation as
director, and gave him big idea
for radio show of his own.
Back In New York, Eds idea ma
terialized as one of several shows
that that Columbia Broadcasting
System produced as lure for new
sponsors under the title Forecast"
showcase of new productions.
Eds now famous archie" came to
life as stooge for Deems Taylor in
program entitled, This Is New
York" A fruitless search for just
the right archie among profess
sional character actors led Ed to

NELSON GETS HOT
IN WYKACYL OPEN
Rv FR1T HOWELL

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, June H..
-(R-Bronzed Byron Nelson, the
tall Texan transplanted to Toledo,
Ohio. turned the 1888 New York
Red Cross oper golf tourney at wy
kagyl into a one man show To-Day.
The former P. G. A. and national
open king ripped the rugged lay
cut apart with six-under-par DO,
the best round of the tournament.
To reach the three quarter mark
Of the 72-hole medal play dozen
under even figures with 204. That
gave him five-stroke lead over hlc
nearest foe and a strangle-hold on
the $2,666 first prize.
In the groove all the way, Nelson
had brides on the first, seventh,
ninth, tenth, twelfth and fifteenth
holes, and matched par, on the 9TH
ers. and he sizzled around the
course in 34-32-66, beating par by
three shots on each nine.
Five strokes back, after par
busting SO today, was Sergeant Vic
Ghezzi of Atlantic City, while Mike
Turnesa of White Plains, N. Y.
who started the third round tied
with Nelson, was third with PIP at
ter a "a today which threw him
eight strokes off the pace.
Harold Gug) McSpaden of Phil
adelphia skidded to IS for 214
total, where the winter tour cham
pion was knotted with Herman Bar
ron of White Plains, who came up
with a par-shattering 66 today.
The hard luck guy of tre day was
Gene Sarazen the squire of Darien,
Conn.,, who came up to the last hole
three under par, with a chance to
&C high among the leaders. How
ever, his third shot, a sort chip,
hit the flag as the caddy of one of
Sarazen's playing partners held it,
and skipped across the green.
There was a tWo-stroke penalty for
hitting the flag, and Gene needed
five strokes to get into the hole, the
big ''7'' on the par Jour hole boost
ing him to even par for the round
and giving him total Of 2l7
strokes. That put Sarazen in five
way tie for ninth place, instead of
in a three way tie for fourth.
Sam Byrd, Detroit star who won
last weeks $17,5O0 Philadelphia
Open, added a par u to his pre-
vious "a and 70 for a PIG total, two
back of Craig Wood of Mamaro-
neck, N. Y, the duration national
open champion, who had a sub-par
II today.
The field. with about IS atill play
ing, winds up the tourney with to-
morrow's 18-hole round - but with
Nelson in his present hot streak it
looks like it was just race for Sec
ond place the rest of the way.
