El Patio,s Little Jack Little, as
you do not have to be told, also
spends about four hours every after
noon entertaining over radio station
WEAM. He talks a little, plays the
piano, sings a little and plays
records. His system for keeping
listeners happy, he was saying just
the other night, is to give them
little talk and lots of music.
One recent afternoon, however,
Jack found himself called on for a
great deal more talking than he
likes. For some reason, the an
nouncer wasn't available when the
time for news broadcast came up.
So Jack read it. An hour later the
announcer wasn't available again,
and Jack was cast again as the
|newscaster. He concluded his report
on the days events and, possibly
feeling slightly overworked, remark
ed idly that he also was good
baby sitter.
What he neglected to remember
was that people believe what they
hear on the radio. The following
afternoon several Arlington mothers
showed up at the WEAM studio
with infants and post-infants In
tow, and parked them in Mr.. Little's
care while they went shopping. .
Those who were there say 1t was
quite a honey scene, as Jack stimuli
taneously entertained his radio
audience, three youngsters who
shared the piano bench with him
and three dogs that rested under
the piano.

Kisley returned to play thai, fine
music which, among other things,
induces Leon Henderson to show of
his most spectacular samba: The
Kisley music, as old travellers to
the Congo know from olden days,
is just right for the room. 1t is
polite, rhythmic and melodic, good
for either listening or dancing.
The newest acquisition of the
Kisley orchestra is Pat Whitney, a
pretty brown haired lass who would
remind you of Shirley Temple If
Shirley were, cast along smaller and
more delicate lines. A pretty one,
and she sings nicely, too. Mr.. Kisley
found her in Chicago, when she
turned up at the Edgewater Beach
to celebrate her homecoming from
a USO tour.

Another USO veteran is Mildred
