It looks as If we will have what you want and they all seem to point to one number, "South of the Border." I'm glad to get all comment and criticism on the show I can get because it will enable ua to make a better show, guided by your likes and dislikes. -MMC - We all had a- lot of fun out of last week's show, brought about mainly by the appearance of old friends on the program. This week we really have a show in store for you.' Already signed up for this week are auch sterling fa vorites as Viola Edmund son, who has just returned from a month's sojourn In the east; Eileen Fisher, our little South American gal who's going to sing 'South of the Border." Well all join her on the third and fourth choruses prob ably. Tentatively listed for this week also are Arnold. Eckstein. Salem's own banjo master, and the one and only Dick Stober. Dick doesn't know whether he can get off work for the show or not, but we all hope' so. There's still a couple of openings In this week's show for some others who feel that they should be able to offer something" unusual In the line of entertainment. MMC We're just a little slow about getting the ball rolling on the chorus deal, but it seems to be a little difficult to find someone who Is capable of managing it. We need someone who can play the piano, and who understands harmony to the extent that he or she can write the necessary ar rangements we need. ' . - MMC .
