Lavishly produced, tuneful, some times madcap and always gay, this ; new edition of the annual "Big Broadcasts" Is expected to top all Its - predecessors In the way of entertain ment. Benny la In the role of a ra dio station manager whose big head ache la to keep Burns and Allen, sponsors of an Important program, happy. And, In so doing, he builds up one big idea after another, in which the country's leading expo nents of different atylea of enter tainment are allowed to "do their stuff."
