How many here know the new
plug KGW ust$s ? Raise your
hands; Ah-h, well it used to be
“the station that brings you the
best in radio.” I guess it wasn’t
one of those things your best
friend wouldn’t tell you, ’cause
now it is “KGW, 620, Portland.”
Talking- of Portland’s self-ac
claimed goodest station in gen
eral and Ted Hallock in partic
ular pronunciation of Frank
Sinatra, vocalist, is Sin-ah-tra,
not Sin-a-tra, and he talks about
KWJJ. (“and Minehart talks of
KGW, ugh.”)
“Spokane friends who lis
tened for the voice of Harry
Crosby, bass, son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. L. Crosby of this city
. . . had their wish gratified.
His voice was recognized in
(the song) “Changes.”

Oregon students are not even
showing the sense of an OSC
grad if they don’t takg advan
tage of the opportunities to swap
some unwanted sumpin’ for some
mor unwanted sumpin’ via
KORE’s “Let’s Swap,” aired ev
ery Wednesday 8:45 p.m., with
the very old, in fact ancient
swapper, aged Duke Young.
Thursdays
On Thursday eves it’s the “We
Cover the Battlefronts,” best in
«', at 7:15 and dramatizing the
ventures of U.P. reporters.
Bruce Nidever, ex-Duck, handles
the leading parts.
Walks to Theater
Fifteen million radio listeners
will figuratively be deprived of
their “taxicab” ride come Sun
day, when one of radio’s oldest
traditions will be broken as “Mr.
First Nighter” walks for the
first time to the “Little Theater
off Times Square.” This will be
the first time in 12 years that
the lucrative gent will have to
endure the hardships of bunions,
corns, and calluses.

The “Shadow” at 3:30 and
“Little Theater,” etc. later in the
day are two of Mutual's most
popular shows, and in the mid
week for an hour (usually) is a
new hour broadie “Tom, Dick,
and Harry,” plenty good.

pears on the right side of a friend

let for the Willamette valley.
Easy Pickin’s
The Portland radio stations are
so starved for announcers that
they’re taking high school kids
without experience, and I, not
knowing the length of the week,
venture to say that at least two
stations are paying a starting
wage of $35.
A trite “how things change,”
and a note to let you know that
the PTA now sponsors a nation
wide soap opera. It starts Jan
uary 16 on NBC and KGW.
Salute
On Monday the Contented Hour
will give a salute to our poor
southern neighbors, longhairs
will like the selections of moosic
■—“Scherzo” from Mendelssohn’s
“Midsummer Nite’s D.T.'s,”
“Great Waltz,” and “Flow Gently,
Sweet Afton.”
On KEX starting Monday,
Gracie Fields beams her ditties
for 15 minutes instead of the
previously scheduled five, due to
the terrific response of people
who like Pall Malls.
New Plays
Something to look forward to
is the new series of plays under
the leadership of Arch Oboler
which will start in the middle of
February under the caption “Free
World Theater.”
(From now on I’ll use dots
just like Winchell) . . . “Inner
Sanctum Mystery” series begins
third year, Sunday . . . Raymond
(“Your Host”) Edward Johnson
is going to have his stage debut
in “The Patriots” due for open
ing on Broadway in latter part of
this month. Cadavers, skeletons,
and a few zombies (Democrats)
not to mention solidified ghosts
are the intended bouquet gather
ing for the unblessed event.
New Swing Time
New time, starting Monday,
for the barefoot philharmonic un
der Paul LaValle and the rest of
the “Chamber Music Society of
Lower Basin Street,” the expon
ents of barrel-house, blues, and
boogie-woogie will be 7:30-8:00.
... At 11 this morning, with Lily
Pons in title role, Blue will pre
sent Delibes’ “Lakme." All these
programs can be heard some
times on KEX.
Thanks friends, and you must

listeners and dancers plenty of

The personnel Mr. Carey has
lined up makes a five-man reed

the way, has two of the most po

“Carnival in Flanders,” French
sound film showing' the Spanish
invasion of Flanders, will be.
shown Thursday, January 14, at
207 Chapman hall. The film is
sponsored by the French depart
ment.
“It is one of the best French
films of the last ten years,” an
nounced Dr. Pierre Van Ryssel
berghe, associate professor of
chemistry, who has seen the film
twice previously. He further stat
ed that the plot was fictional but
“historically plausible.” The story

The action of the picture takes
place in the French town of Boon.
According to Mr. Van Ryssel
berg, an innovation has been in
troduced in that every once in a
while there is a scene reminiscent
of a famous Flemish painting.
Works by Rembrandt, Breughel,

sented.
The film is approximately 95
minutes long. A 25-cent admis
sion charge will be made.
