doesn’t like to kill anything.
Couldn’t ask for a better hunt

Jimmie Whet more was born
in Columbus, Ohio, March 9,
, 1913. At the age of three his
parents took np residence in
Dallas, Texas, where his musi
cal career began. Feeling that
their son would have a better
opportunity for a continuation
of his studies in California, they
took up residence in Hollywood,
California,
when Jimmie was
ten year« of age.
His mnslcal career continued
1« Hollywood, and In June of
1928 Whetmore did his first pro
fessional playing, ’ when three
months after his fifteenth birth
day he became regular organist
at the old “A n o n ” theater in
I xm Angeles*, playing accompan
iment for the then silent pic
tures. H e cohtinned to play the
pipe organ In various theaters
in and around I xm Angeles un
til the advent of the “Talkies”
replaced him, along with thou
sands of other organists throu
ghout the country*
It
became obvious that a
stndy of the piano would be
necessary
since pipe organs
seemed a thing of the past, and
to love. They especially like good music-and this we have.
so Whetmore spent a year In
intensive study of the piano
and was engaged In the latter
part of 1931 by Radio Station
KVOS, Bellingham, Washington.
A year later he moved to Seattle
and played on KOL, KPCB, (sin
ce KIRO) K V L and K XA, and
on K X I liQTacoma, Washington.
It was while in Beattie that he
began teaching piano and organ
as well as playing.
In 1933 he went Into the pop
alar field as pianist with the
Mlfi£ht Owls” In I xm Angeles
and while again In Hollywood
took np popular arranging at
Hollywood Conservatory of Mu
sk*. Returning to the Northwest
In 1935 he wrote a library and
began leading his own orchestra
based north of Seattle.
