increasing number of broadcasts, the studios have also borrowed from the airwaves, taking Dorothy Lamour and Harriett Hilliard from among the radio headliners. Radio had its biggest season during the past twelvemonth, due partly to revenue from the political campaign and partly to the many new commercial programs which have been scheduled. ,

Jiaje .insuuhu. The turnover has been especially great in the field of singers. Vocalists, unless they are of operatic tenor, hold a most precarious place in radio. There is less chance for individuality of style in this field. There is more competition than among the clowns and comics, of which there is always a shortage. Among those who have forged to the front during the past season are such comparative newcomers as Doris Robbins, Durelle Alexander, Shirley Ross, Joy Hodges and Francia White. Turnover of Stars Great Among the veterans whose reigns have been threatened by these ambitious and talented youngsters are Connie Gates, Lucille Manners, Lucy Monroe, Bernice Claire and others. Jane Froman and Harriett Hilliard are among those who have been drafted by Holly-wood, as well a. stunning Dorothy Laroour.

It was at the Insistence of Texas authorities, who charged Brockel- | hurst with the murder of Jack Griffith, Fort Worth tavern keeper, that the contest was decided by the governor. Prosecutor Joseph P. Milton of lamoke county, Ark., explained that his state had issued murder warrants for both© Brockelhunst and Miss Felton in connection with the slaying of Victor Gates, plantation owner. He argued that it would be unfair to send them to Texas ; : or Illinois, where the girl would be freed. “Each of the states had very ! strong cases,” Lehman announced. : "but Arkansas had not only a ! strong case against this man but also against the girl. That's why II am turning them over to Arkan- | sas officials.” Miss Felton wept when told of the ruling. Her father, who had

Studio applause has become a prime nuisance in the view of many who object to the frantic clapping which strikes the ear every time a master of ceremonies signals during many programs. Artificial in nature, and foreign to the entertainment end of the program, this procedure may be cut to a minimum next season. Hollywood has been a greater source of material for the national networks than ever before. Movie stars have been drafted by the score and important new studio units constructed on the west coast where many major programs now originate. Fabulous prices are paid for these movie-radio programs, as well as some of the regular microphone stars. Top of the heap in salary is reputed to be Eddie Cantor whose weekly check is reported to be $15,000. Jacki Bennv, Fred Allen and Burns and j Allen are others in the SIO,OOO-a-Iweek class. _ .J

flown here from Rockford to aid ' them, said he was “sorry,” and that he believed his daughter “faces a lot of serious trouble.” Brockelhurst was quoted by police as saying that he wanted to die in the electric chair and not by hanging, and that he hoped he would not have long to wait. Arkansas uses the chair. Since his arrest with Miss Felton last Thursday, he has harrassed Dutchess county jail officials by screaming and fainting. Jail physicians said he was suffering from a “serious heart ailment.” The two were arrested at Dover Plains, N. Y„ by state trooper Joseph Hunt, whose suspicion was aroused because their automobile bore only one license plate. : Brockelhurst readily admitted the ; three murders, police said, while his sweetheart clung to his arm and announced that she was pregnant. Physicians examined her later and said her statement was “ridiculous." New York authorities held them on a charge of possessing a revolver without a permit. They ' pleaded guilty when arraigned in | county court last night, but sentence was suspended so that Arkansas officials could take them away today.

McCann, who accompanied the detectives. He said in the house itself the raiding party found two specially constructed bomb cases, sulphuric acid, ether and other materials.

Official announcement of the Duke of Windsor’s | marriage.” Rogers, after reading and distributing the communique, announced more details would bo given out at 6:30 p. m. The historic wedding probably will lie without the blessing of the church of England, whoso head, the Archbishop of Cantebury, co bitterly opposed the marriage. It was expected a civil ceremony would be performed by Dr. Charles Mercier, physician to the castle and mayor of Monts, in the presence of the British consul. Immediately afterwards, the royal couple—present indications are that Mrs. Warfield will bo her royal highness the Duchess of Windsor —will leave for a secluded honeymoon at Wasserleonburg castle in lower Austria, which the duke has leased for the summer. They are expected to motor by ! way of the French Riviera.

They had just listened to Mrs. Tiermail’s confession that she loved Christie so much she had agreed to sacrifice her children to make room for him in her small apartment. "I held Helen while George hit her,” Mrs. Tierman told police. "Then 1 cut her throat." Police believed it unlikely that Mrs. Tierman ever would pay the extreme penalty for her unnatural deed. They revealed that her mother was a psychopathic case for the last 15 years of her life.
