There also will be a tribute to
Miss Mack.
The dramatic series long has
been a means of developing
young talent and many a per-
former owes the start of his or
her career to appearances in the
program. Mia herself was looked
upon by many as a radio fairy
godmother because of rhe inter-
est she showed in their efforts.
Future of the program is as

the years had amassed a back

Lucille Ball and Sid Caesar
Win Some More TV Honors
By Harry Macarthur

Lucille Ball and Sid Caesar
have just added some new hon.
ors to their catalogues of same,
if that comes under the heading
of news. Their names and the
titles Of their shows are scat
tered through several categories
in the results of the fourth an
nual TV poll conducted by Mo-
ton Picture Daily for Fame
Magazine.
"Your Show of Shows" was Sc
lected "best television" program
for the third consecutive year.
It also was voted "best variety
program" and ranked third on
the "best comedy show" list.
Miss Ball won two first place
honors-as "best television per-
former" and best comedienne.
81 Love Lucy was selected as
"best comedy show and ranked
second in the "best network pro-
gram" category.
Imogene Coca, keeping more
of these honors in the family,
tied with Jimmy Durante for
third in the "best performer
vote. Each of them also won a
second place-on the "best come
dienne" and "beSt comedian"
lists.
"Most promising female stars"
were. in one-two-three order,
Maria Riva, Joan Davis and
Rosemary Clooney. If it seems
to you that it is a little late
for Miss Riva and Miss Davis
to be showing mere promise.
you'll have to argue with Mo-
ton Picture Daily. This de-
partment is only passing the
word along.
You can hardly argue, at any
rate, about the most promising
male star" winner. That was
Wally Cox, with Red Buttons
in second place and no third
contender in sight anywhere,
apparently.
In these lists of poll results
there is always one which stops
you with a double take, after
which you conclude this must
be miSprint. Motion Picture
Daily's fame poll is no excep-
ton. AS "best classical musi-
cal show" the NBC Symphony
Orchestra ran second to "Voice
of FireStone."

Jack Benny Really
To PIuy. His Violin
BY Hal Humphrey
HOLLYWOOD,

Jack Benny believes he has
come up with a very funny idea
for his CBS-TV show next Sun
day. He's going to stand in front
Of a 60-piece symphonic orches-
ira and play his violin seriously
for an entire number.
I don't know of another come
dian in the entire world who
could do this and extract any
more than an amused chuckle
out of it. AS a matter of fact,
it doesn't even appear to be too
funny for Benny when you read
it on paper.
Yet, I am willing to bet that
it will be one of his funniest TV
shows to date. Why? Because
Benny has been rehearsing for
this one since 1921 years.
In all that time he has never
publicly made anything but a
gag of his fiddle playing. except
for a Carnegie Hall benefit ap-
pearance with Oscar Levant in
1943.
It's safe to say that most of
Benny'S fans are not even sure
he can really do anything with
the violin except a few scratchy
bars of Love in Bloom"
That's why this next TV show
should be funny" he reasons.
But it's going to be funny only
If really try to play the violin.
And, brother, I'm going to do
my darndest!"
The 39-year-old boy from
Waukegan, ILL.,, has had to work
harder preparing for this show
than most. He has been prac-
ticing long hours on the violin
his father bought for him AZ
years ago.
MY wife, Mary, is even i'm
pressed" says Jack. when I'm
home she always has made me
play it in the bathroom, but this
time Mary is letting me practice
in my own bedroom"
The "plot" for his Sunday
show hinges on his being inter-
viewed before going on stage
"to tell my usual bum jokes"
He tells his interviewer that in
reality he is a frustrated concert
violinist, and as he reveals this
secret desire, the audience, sees
Benny as he imagines he would
have appeared.

There are not Only multiple
denomination of religion, but
multiple religions. 1t appears
that religion began with the
dawn of intelligence and mans
realization of a power greater
than he. 1t also appears that
man has been creating gods to
worship and appease ever since
the time he became aware of
this power. Many. different OBJ
jects we're selected to be the
deity of religion: heavenly
bodies, trees and other plants,
dumb animals, craven images
of wood, stone, brass, and 9TH
er precious metals have served
as deity to the growing intel
ligence of man. Christians date
their religion from the ministry
of Jesus. who instituted a Sc
quel to the theology of Moses,
the patriarchs, ancient worthless
and prophets. The Christian
religion is definitely founded

 The Mt Marathon Race has received a lot of publicity in travel magazines this year. En- tries are expected from the States, but probably will be made at the last possible mo- ment. Students are warned that this is professional event and they would lose their amateur standing by entering. The race is open to all corners, however. Several women have tried the climb but none has ever reached the top during a race. Most of the wins in the mountain race have been made by men of native blood.
 Contestants are required to run approximately threefourths of mile from the starting point downtown, climb the 3O22 feet to the peak and return to the starting point. Watchers, stand ing by with watch in hand and eyes on the climbers every min ute, have been heard to remark, T don't believe it!'' It is truly a case where one can hardly believe his own eyes.

Nebraska Sweet Corn At $1.00 An Ear

Rev. Charles Malin received his sight unseen trade package from Harold Davisson Friday. It was Nebraska sweet corn ship ped airmail at the cost of $35. "1t's good thing Davisson paid the postage" remarked Malin, because I would never have been able to pay $1.00 an ear for sweet corn.'
 While the inveterate trader Davidson was here with the Ne braskan goodwill visit, he and Mir. Malin made sight unseen" trade of something that would cost neither one anything to buy, but would be strictly Alaskan and Nebraskan.
 MT. Malin's package contained a pair of discarded moose horns. It was put in window at Sew ard, Nebraska and the whole town had a guessing contest as to the box's contents. Davisson's trade package, however, will not be in any window here-it won't last that long!

New docks for Seward seem to be in the immediate future if all goes we'll in Washington.

The bill now goes to conference.
 Because of the Whittier fire the Interior Department request ed the $1,500,000 addition to supplement the amount already approved by the Senate commit tee. Secretary Mckay also asked for contract authority from Con- gress in sum not determined, but sufficient to proceed without delay in completing the entire rehabilitation program.
 Contract authority to complete the job was not considered by the Senate as being against the present practice of Congress. Debate on the floor. however, according to Delegate Bartlett, indicates that the Senate is fully aware of the need for additional funds.
