 It's one thing for fans to have movie idol; still another story for the movie folks to have an idol of their own. But Ted Flo Rito, suc- ceSsful orchestra leader who will be heard on ''The Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands" program on Friday evening, November A, at 9:30 over the Blue Network, is the movie colony's choice as a star.

stein monster = who overWhelms his creator, while "Umbriago" at all times is under the complete control of his master.
 Of course, Moore and Mortit are one and the same person. Garry Moore is one of the brightest comed- ians in the comedy constellation. Morf1t is serious young man, a writer with a gift for whimsy. They're the same age, weight, height and are identical in appearance or were until Moore finally absorb ed most of Morfit.
 Here's how the phenomenon oc- cured:
 Young Morf1t, the son of a Bal t1more attorney, had yen to be a writer and quit high school to be- come the collaboration on play with the famous novelist, F. Scott Fitz- gerald. When the drama failed to interest producers. the youth turn ed to radio writing and wangled himself a job doing continuity on A Baltimore station.
 One day he was asked to substi- tute for a comedian who was ill., and Garry Moore was born. He was so well received as comedian that jobs came thick and fast acting jobs, not writing. So Morfit gradually receded into the back ground and Moore blosSomed into a celebrity.
 But the spirit of Morfit fights on! Much of the material heard on the Moore-Durante show, Fridays over CBS, is his creation-even many of the introductions to the commer- cials. It was Garry who wrote Elsie, the Glow Worm," Hugh, the Blue Gnu" and other hilarious comedy material with g. touch of whimSy.
 Fridays "Gag-of- the Day: In Hollywood there's an actor who's played the role of Lincoln so long that he actually thinks he's Lincoln. He walks, talks and dresses like the Great Emancipator. The other day songbird Helen Forrest spot ted him strolling down Sunset Boulevard in the cape and tall hat of the Lincoln period. Turning to a friend she remarked: That fel- low will never be satisfied until he's aSsasSinated.'
 So popular was the gypsy med ley that Andre KoStelanetz present. ed on '"The Pause That Refreshes on the Air recently, that the maes- tro is repeateding the music on his popular program on Sunday, Mo- vember 19, at 4:30 p. m. over the Columbia Network.

Local Cost Accountants to Attend Chapter Meeting
 Tuesday Evening

Carl G. Baumes, treasurer of Manning Bowman and Company and general office manager of R, Wallace & Sons Mfg. Company, will address Hartford Chapter Na- tional Association of Cost Account ants on Tuesday, November 21st, at the Elm Tree Inn, Pennington, on the subject of Control and Reduction of Administrative Gusts. :"
 After the war, the rising cost of administrative, selling and adver- tising expenses is expected to make 1t more difficult to convert satis- factory gross profit into an ade- quate net profit.
 A new apprioch to these problems is needed if their cost is to be properly controlled in the future. The speaker will outline a program to make the experience gained in factory control pay dividends in the reduction of these service ex- penses.

It's enough like your family to be recognizable and yet different enough to be interesting, and diff ferent in an unconventional enough way to be hilariously funny.
 Frederick Dvonch, conductor of MESS Sunday night musical pro- gram Steel Horizons" is one man who can literally as well as senti- mentally say that he owes his start in life to his mother. For Dvonch, who was a virtuoso violinist before he was a conductor received his first lessons from his mother when he was only three years old. Mrs. Dvonch, who was descended from a long line of violinists and violin makers, quickly recognized her sons musical talent and began to give him his first lessons as soon as he was able to hold a child'S violin Young Frederick was such an apt pupil that by the time he was five he had learned all his mother could teach him and was ready for ad- vanced professional lessons!

 Public speakers often use the services of ghost writers to pre- pare their talks but not if they're scheduled to speak on Americas Town Meeting of the Aire" (WATR, Thursdays, 8:30 p. m.)
 It's the question -and-answer per- iod that makes the difference. In this program feature, members of the audience rise to ask extempor- aneous questions of the speakers, and the debater who has had his research and thinking done for him by a ghost writer might find him. self at loss to answer some of these penetrating questions. There fore, "Town Meeting speakers have learned, some of them the hard way, that the safest method is to prepare their own material.
 Caesar, who made a serious study of early France, once made the profound statement, "All Gaul is d. vided into three parts" And BOD Hawk, who has made an equally serious study of what makes people laugh, and how they express their delight, offers a modern paraphrase ..All laughs are divided into SIX types"
 According to the Thanks to the Yanks" quipster, the six kinds of laughs are the high-pitched giggle, the suppressed chortle, the compla- cent chuckle, the fatuous snlcker, the honest ha-ha and the exuberant belly laugh.

Interestingly enough, supposedly meek Army privates usually employ the tough herman technique, while Cupid turns brusue sergeants into lamblike Lotharios. Too, other CT Romeos put their faith into a song la Sinatra. Recently, leath- erneck followed suit with a Swoon- ish rendition of Come to Me, My Melancholy Baby" styling the song to whispered resonance and hold. ing the last note for count of ten.
 It was ten, and he was out of the running, for the glamour girl, who picked his opponent, was tone deaf!
 Blind Date" darlings also have their special lures to quicken the interest of contestants. A Sultry voice, 8 bold self-appraisal of charms and the tease of babyish naivete all come into their own. Girls, beset by the manpoWer shortage, have found the Monday show as instructive to them as it Is to would-be RomeoS.
 "There'll be boom in the music business after the war!"
 That's the prediction of Dr. Frank Black, NBCs General Music director. The good doctor bases his views on the popularity of all types of music, both classical and jazz, among our men in the armed fore es. Chaps who never thought of learning to play an instrument" ," says pr. Black, "the youngsters whom parents had to force to prac- tice on the piano, are developing new love for music. The service recreational directors and availabil- ity of such simple instruments as ocarinaS and harmonicaS have been responsible for this trend.' Accord ing to the maestro, the knowledge gained by CTS will show up in the postwar world in the way of new American composers, young musi- clans and and avid listening au- dience.
