Dealer Hundreds of thousands of boys and young men read The American Boy magazine every month and con sider it more as a living companion than as a magazine. “It’s as much a buddy to me as my neighborhood chum,” writes one high school senior. ‘‘The American Boy seems to understand a boy’s problems and considers them in such a sympathetic and helpful way. It gives advice and entertaining read- ing on every subject in which a young fellow is interested. It is particularly helpful in sports. I made our school basketball team be cause of playing tips I read in The American Boy.” Many famous athletes in all sports credit much of their success to help ful suggestions received from sports articles carried in The American Boy magazine. Virtually every issue of fers advice from a famous coach or player. Football, basketball, track, tennis, in fact every major sport is covered in fiction and fact articles. Teachers, librarians, parents and leaders of boys clubs also recommend The American Boy enthusiastically. They have foun d that as a general rule regular readers of The American Boy advance more rapidly and de velop more worthwhile characteris tics than do boys who do not read it. Trained writers and artists, fam ous coaches and athletes, explorers, scientists and men successful in bus iness and industry join with an ex perienced staff to produce in The American Boy, the sort of reading matter boys like best. The American Boy sells on most newsstands at 15c a copy. Subscrip tion prices are $1.50 for one year or $3.00 for three years. Foreign rates 50c a year extra.

Christy, minstrel king of that colorful day, sing several of the songs, and other melodies are rendered by the famous Hall Johnson Choir. Among the numbers sung are “The Old Folks at Home” (Swanee River), “Old Black Joe,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Oh! Susanna!”, “De Camp town Races,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” and “Ring, Ring de Banjo.” Also heard in the film are Foster’s “Beautiful Dreamer” and “Soiree Polka.” So versatile was Foster that Ameche, already a splendid singer and accomplished pianist, had to learn to play the violin, to whistle with trills and to do a soft shoe- dance—and he also had to learn how to box. Andrea Leeds plays Jane McDowell, the girl Foster loved and married and the inspiration for “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.” WHAT?
