Archie is just talking through his hat to impress the gorgeous Jady are Eddie (The Waiter) Green; Clifton (The Brains) Finnegan, played by Charlie Cantor; and Miss Duffy. Joe Venuti and his orchestra will make up to the guest by swinging out in their fanciest manner. Incidentally, “Duffy’s Tavern” is actually dropping bombs, along with other invasion planes, on Eu rope. The Flying Fortress, named after the Blue Network’s Tuesday comedy broadcast, is piloted by Major Walter Fulkerson. * * * A delightful musical treat is in store for listeners when the new Aunt Jemima Show, to be heard Monday through Fridays at 9:40 to 9:45 a.m., CWT, is unveiled via the Blue Network on Monday, June 19. A chorus of eleven voices, singing without accompaniment, will be featured in songs of the South, old and new, hot and sweet. The vocal group, consisting of eight men and three women sing ers, will be under the able direction of Harry Walsh, one-of the most distinguished of Midwestern choral directors. Born' and reared in Birmingham, Ala., he is especially adept in interpretations of South ern songs. Besides leading the Aunt Jemima Show chorus, Walsh at present is directing eight other choral groups—heard over the Blue and other networks. The unusual arrangements to be heard on the program will be the work of Palmer Clark, who is gen eral music director of the show. Aunt Jemima, who each week day will offer plantation sayings interspersed with menu sugges tions, will be portrayed by Harriet Widmer, Chicago radio actress. * * * Evelyn Knight, lovely blonde vocalist on the Falstaff Show, heard each Monday, Wednesday and Friday over 38 stations on the Blue Network at 10:00 p.m., CWT, recently found herself in some thing of a jam, but came out on top, thanks to the Army Air Forces. Miss Knight, who has been trav eling around to entertain various groups of our armed forces, was completing an evening’s how at an Air Force station near New York. Trouble was, her efforts were far too superior, and the boys insisted on keeping her long past her sched uled departure time. When she fi nally was able to break away from the enthusiastic flyers, she real ized that unless exceptional meas ures were taken she would be dan gerously late for her rehearsal on the Falstaff Show. On discovering her predicament, the gallant commanding officer of the station, appreciative of Miss Knight’s great show for his boys, gave the problem a happy and breathtaking solution—“Fly Miss Knight back to New York by bomb er,” he ordered. Quickly as he said it, it was accomplished. Evelyn ar rived at the studios about ten min utes late, but even Producer Vic Seydel, who was beginning to cast anxious glances at his watch, had to agree she had made a good try. Mel Henke, keyboard exponent of “surrealistic swing,” featured on the Blue Network’s Summer Swing program (Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., CWT) excels in “modernizing the classics.” In accomplishing this, the 28- year-old pianist often applies modern rhythmic and harmonic ideas to classic compositions such as Chopin’s “Fantasy Impromptu.” Then, reversing the procedure, he applies the ideeas of Chopin and other masters to present-day tunes. Henke’s treatment of music should not be misinterpreted with the so-called “swinging the clas sics.” The blonde key-board artist has well-formulated opinions about music and says: “I think classical music has been hindered by tradi tion. By the same token, jazz has made rapid progress because there are no limitations. I sincerely be lieve that in due time there will be a merger of the two classifica tions, and hope that my work will contribute toward this end. “I have arrived at a very esthet ic point in my particular endeavor. By this I mean that I have become so absorbed in what I am doing that I am a little frightened as to the unlimited possibilities of what one can say with the piano.” * * * Now in its penultimate week, the Breakfast Club contest in which new and old listeners of the Blue Network’s celebrated morning- hour show are eligible to receive war bond prizes totaling $4,700, will close at midnight, Sunday, June 18. In the final week of the contest —“New Listener Week”—charter members of the Breakfast Club will be urged to redouble their ef forts in distributing official entry blanks among new listeners. If, however, new listeners are unable to obtain official blanks, they can enter the contest by applying on an ordinary sheet of paper. Major awards to new listeners whose statements about which por tion of the Breakfast Club program they like best are adjudged most original and sincere, are as fol lows: First prize, $1,000 war bond; second prize $500 war bond; third prize, $100 war bond. Additional prizes of ten $25 war bonds, 100 booklets each containing $5.00 in war stamps, and 2,000 autographed pictures of the Breakfast Club cast also will be awarded. Unusual feature of the contest is that dual awards will be made. Charter members of the Breakfast Club who obtain new listeners and assist them in preparing prize winning entries will receive a du plicate prize. LOUPOT’S A Little Place . . . ...
