JACK BENNY-NO. 1 a u u a a a Comedian Is Voted Most Entertaining Man on Air by Radio Editors.

BV ALTON COOK JACK BENNY is Ihe triumphant figure in the fifth annual New York World-Telegram, Scripps-Howard, radio editors’ poll. The 239 editors of the United States and Canada who voted in the 1936 poll named Jack as their favorite comedian and his program as the most entertaining on the air. This is the second year he has held both of those honors. Second among thr editors' favorite programs was the Rudy Vallee hour, Just a single vote ahead of Fred Allen. In fourth place, close behind these two. comes Maj. Bowes and his amateurs. The World-Telegram radio editors’ poll has been conducted annually the past five years to determine the leaders ir, nation-wide radio popularity. It is the only survey conducted to rate radio's individual performers as well as programs.

Besides the four already mentioned. the rest of the first 10 favorites are, in order: Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians, New York Philharmonic - Symphony Orchestra, George Burns and Oracle Allen, CBS Monday Radio Theater, March of Time and Hollywood Hotel. 000 MAJ. BOWES' standing no better than fourth among all programs Is something of a surprise. In other years, the editor's poll has invariably forecast sharp changes in radio popularity. This year's vote may be interpreted as an indication that ihe great vogue of the Major and his amateurs is coming to its end. Among the comedians. Jack Benny and Fred Allen lead by wide margins. Following in order are George Burns and Grade Allen, Phil Baker, Eddie Cantor, Bob Burns. Amos 'n' Andy, Stoopnagle and Budd, Pick and Pat, and Walter O'Keefe. The new name in the list is Bob Burns, the hill billy comedian, now appearing regularly on Bing Crosby’s Thursday evening program. Absent from the air this year have been several of other season’s comedy leaders—Joe Pcnner, Ed Wynn. Jack Pearl, Joe Cook and George Givot. Their names failed to figure in the voting for the first time since they came into radio. 000 THE choice of popular singers were Bing Crosby and Kate Smith. Crosby’s principal rivals among the men were Frank Parker, Lanny Ross, James Melton, Dick Powell and the tenor Jack Benny discovered out on the coast, Kenny Baker. Girl .singers who finished behind Miss Smith in the voting were, in order, Frances Langford, Jane Froman, Connie Boswell, Ramona and Deane Janis. Guy Lombardo leads all the dance band leaders for the first time. Significant in this season's voting were the quick rise of Ray Noble and Paul Whiteman's decline to eighth place. The standing of the band leaders reads: Lombardo, Wayne King, Noble, Casa Loma, Fred Waring, Richard Himber, Eddie Duchin, Paul Whiteman and Hal Kemp. This is the first season Noble has spent in American radio, having come here a year ago with a large London reputation. 000 Lawrence tibbett was voted best of the more serious singers. Following him came Lily Pons, Grace Moore, Nelson Eddy, Gladys Swarthout, John Charles Thomas, Richard Crooks, Nino Martini and Jessica Dragonette. All except Eddy and Miss Dragonette are or have been members of the Metropolitan opera. Among the serious instrumental musicians. Albert Spalding and Jashcha Heifetz lead the soloists and Leopold Stokowski and Arturo Toscanini were voted favorite symphonic conductors. This order has been the same in the last two polls. The most overwhelming victory in the entire poll goes to Ted Husing among the sport announcers. By a 10-to-l margin he led such rivals as Hal Totten. Clem McCarthy and Graham McNamee. James Wallington, Eddie Cantor's straight man, is the editors’ favorite among studio announcers. Other announcers who ranked high: Harry Von Zell, Don Wilson, David Rass, Alois Havrilla and Milton Cross. Havrilla is the winner of this year's diction medal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 000 IN a very close contest, Edwin C. Hill was voted favorite commentator over Boake Carter and Lowell Thomas. Some other choices for first

rankings: Mills Brothers, best vocal group; Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians, best all-around musical program; CBS Radio Theater, best dramatic program; Singing Lady, best children's program; Ida Bailey Allen, most valuable household assistance, and Bob Burns, the season's outstanding new star. As the outstanding single broadcast of the year, the editors chose the flight of the stratosphere balloon, with conversation from the gondola going over NBC networks all day long.

Music BY JAMES THRASHER Isidor Philipp, dean of French piano teachers, is to be heard as guest soloist with the NBC String Quartet in a performance of the “Quartet for Piano and Strings,’’ by his friend and compatriot, Charles Marie Widor, at 12:45 tomorrow morning on the WEAF hookup. Mr. Philipp, who numbers many distinguished artists among his pupils, has proved, during his visits and broadcasts in this country the last two years, that a long life of extensive teaching and composing has not destroyed his ability or enthusiasm for performance. 000 Two operatic excerpts, the “Flower Song,” from Bizet’s “Carmen,” and the duet, “O Soave Fanciulla,” with Margaret Speaks, soprano, are to feature the broadcast of Richard Crooks, Metropolitan Opera Company tenor, on an NBC-WEAF network at 7:30 tonight. He is to be assisted by a chorus and string orchestra under William Daly. 000 A variety of composers is represented on the program of Clyde Barrie, Negro baritone, over CBS at 9:45 tonight. Ilis songs include the “Serenade” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” “Hopak” by Moussorgsky, “Consecration” by Manney, Mednikoff’s “The Hills of Gruzia” and “Thunderin’, Wonderin’ ” by Robert MacGimsey. 000 The famous Casella-Poltron-ieri-Bonucci Trio are the guest performers on the Library of Congress Chamber Musicale, over NBC-WJZ tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. Their program is to include trios by Haydn and the American, Roy Harris, and “Siciliani.” by Clementi. Alfredo Casella, the pianist, is, with Respighi, probably the most significant figure in modern Italian music. He is equally distinguished as a composer, conductor, editor, teacher and concert player.

SI mV : to Better Control of Colds 1. To Help Build RESISTANCE to Colds Live normally—avoid excesses. Eat simple food and keep elimination regular. Drink plenty of water. Take some exercise daily —outdoors preferably. Get plenty of rest and sleep. (During the colds season, gargle night and morning with Vicks Voratone Antiseptic, especially designed for safe daily use to aid in defense against infection which may enter through the mouth.) 2. To Help PREVENT Many Colds At the first warning nasal irritation, sniffle or sneeze, use Vicks Va-tro-nol—just a iPlaSii? ew ro P s U P eac h nostril. Va-tro-nol is 1 especially designed for the nose and upper jjlferjffi. ,* £ throat —where most colds start. Used in time, Va-tro-nol helps to prevent many WV' colds—and to throw off head colds in vicks va-tro-nol stages. 3.

nan Winner of Fibber McGee Contest to Be Made Known Tonight.

THE winner of Fibber McGee and Molly’s amateur song contest to which 10,000 contributions were made is to be announced at 7 tonight. NBC (WIRE). The announcement was to have been made earlier, but the large number of entries delayed selection of the winner. 000 John Boles and June Walker are to bring the Broadway favorite, “Green Grow the Lilacs,” to the CBS microphone at 8 tonight. Miss Walker is to play the same role she had in the stage production, and Mr. Boles’ part in the broadcast is to include a number of songs. 000 Harry Horlick is to try to entertain Gracie Allen on his broadcast tonight, but George Burns is skeptical. Only the listeners, he says, will get any entertainment out of this party. Gracie, and perhaps Harry and George, are to be heard on NBC (WIRE) at 8. 000 The National Radio forum Is to originate in the NBC studios in Washington at 9:30 tonight. 000 BEING mistaken for a woman is one of the penalties of possessing a high tenor voice, says Billy White who is to sing at 8 tonight over NBC (WLW) on the Minstrels program. Soon after he made his radio debut, a Texas rancher, mistaking his voice for that of a woman, sent him a proposal of marriage, addressed to “Billie White.” More amusing to his friends, however, was a request from a booking agent for “leg” pictures. The agent, hearing him on the radio, had the idea he might sign “her” for an engagement at Cocoanut Grove, where Billy had been featured as tenor soloist for several weeks. <0 0 0 ON reaching the age when she first could hold a cornet to her lips, although for only short periods of time, Helen Kay, trumpeter with Jose Manzanares and his South American orchestra, started her lessons on the instrument. Her early training was reflected w r hen, at the age of 12, she won a contract to play as soloist at a Los Angeles theater. She was affected by the glamour of the theater, and decided then to make music her career. Miss Kay toured the United States and Europe soon after she was graduated from high school, and began broadcasting in 1922. She again toured the United States, this time for five years, and then played with Vincent Lolez’ Debutantes, the Hollymaiders and Ina Ray Hutton’s Melodears. She was a cornet soloist in the “Big Broadcast of 1936.” 000 JIMMY DURANTE was “fired” from radio broadcasting once by Louis Witten, an announcer, who permitted the energetic comedian to send his raucous voice over the microphone in song. “You’re terrible,” shouted Mr. Witten. “I’ll lose my job for letting you try that. Don’t ever try to sing on the radio again.” That ’ was 10 years ago. Now Mr. Witten is announcer and producer for the “Jumbo” show in the New York Hippodrome. Mr. Durante is threatening to quit broadcasting because of a heavy schedule, and Mr. Witten is begging him to stay—and sing.

DEPLORES RUSH OF DOCTORS TO LARGERCITIES New Head of State Society Sees Economy (Ind.) Plan as Challenge. Plans of the little town of Economy. Ind., to contract with a physician and pay him a salary from subscriptions by families constitute a challenge to the medical profession, according to Dr. E. D. Clark, Indianapolis, president-elect of the Indiana State Medical Association. Speaking at the annual midwinter secretaries’ conference of the association yesterday at the Colutnia Club, Dr. Clark said medical school graduates tend to enter large cities for practice because they have a heavy investment in education. “This situation should be corrected,” he said, “because the profession’s responsibility is to provide

medical service in every community, whether it is large or small. Dr. olin West, Chicago, secretary and general manager of the American Medical Asosciation. said regimentation and socialization of medicine will serve neither the public interest nor the interest of medical science. “The organized medical profession has studied the question of sickness insurance more closely than any one else.” Dr. West said, “and is convinced that socialization is not the wisest step for the future.” Dr. West said one danger of such a plan is that it probably would not be kept free of politics. $28,777 GAIN SHOWN IN POSTAL RECEIPTS 18 Per Cent Increase Over January, 1934, Is Reported.

TRUCKS SLOW ROADTRAFFIC Definite Delay Is Revealed by Survey Conducted at Rose Poly. Time* Special TERRE HAUTE. Feb. 3—Trucks cause definite delay on motor highways. according to findings disclosed here today by Harve N. Chinn, engineering professor, of Rose Polytechnic Institute. A survey, conducted during the last two months by students was intended to determine the delay caused vehicles under various traffic and road conditions. After timing 10,000 vehicles over a two-mile stretch east of here on the National Road, a typical twolane highway with light grades and gradual curves, it was found that when trucks constituted 10 per cent of the traffic the average speed of pleasure vehicles was reduced to 38.7 miles an hour. Prof. Chinn hopes to extend the survey to a straight, level course within the next few months.
