Bergen’s return to New York from Chicago last week was an hilarious occasion for other Vallee entertainers. “Charlie” keeps the conversation going, even after the program ends. When “Charlie” is packed carefully in a suitcase ready to be

Mr. Bergen admits, despite long ®

moved, Bergen taps on the side of it, and apparently from within comes a voice, “Will you go lay an egg and take me wherever I'm going?” And the whole Vallee cast is delighted. Tonight after Mr. Bergen, Sheila Barrett, the impersonator, and others entertain NBC-WIRE audiences with their merriment, -Max Eastman, who wrote “The Enjoyment of Laughter,” will take over to tell listeners why and how they laugh. Joanna Joyce, a new singer, completes the Vallee bill for the 7 o'clock show.

Bing Crosby and Old Pals To Hold Reunion on Program.

By RALPH NORMAN

“Show Boat” soon will be hauled into dry-dock, probably never to ride the airwaves again. Lanny Ross, featured singer and master of ceremonies, is to leave the NBC-WLW program in July, his advertising agency announces,

for Hollywood and the movies. The program also will move westward to Hollywood, to become another of the film colony’s guest star shows. “Show Boat” is one of the network's oldest variety programs, and for several years has been one of the most popular. Ross joined the cast as the singing lead—later to head the entire program—six years ago while he was a Columbia: University student. It is understood his contract runs until October of this year, but he takes “shore leave” with a vacation in July, and

will not return in the fall. ” o

The “Show Boat” directors are

| in "Hollywood looking for a new’

" master of ceremonies and others for a permanent skeleton cast with which guest stars will be featured. One rumor has it that Dick Powell will head the new show, but this has not been verified by “Show Boat” managers. - Dick ‘left “Hollywood Hotel” to make a series of transcribed programs for a Warner Brothers subsidiary company, and although ‘the series’ was completed some time ago, it has not been released.

# ” 2

Meanwhile, “Show Boat” will be aired from NBC's New York studios, and tonight the cast pays a mythical visit to Tampa, Fla. Walter O’Keefe heads the guest list, which includes Blevins Davis of Yale University, authority on English coronation procedure, and Hildegarde, songstress. Mr. O'Keefe has not been idle since leaving his own show some time back. He has just sold a scenario about auto trailers, called “Rolling Stones,”’ which is to be used by R-K-O as a vehicle for Helen Broderick and Victor Moore.

The most recent, described by Dr. Paul Popenoe, is that of Dr. Heinrich Kranz of Germany, who studied 75 pairs of twin brothers, one of whom, in each case, was a criminal. Of these, 32 pairs were “identical” twins—those born from the same egg, with similar natures; 43 were “fratermal” twins—those born from different eggs and usually with dissimilar natures. Two-thirds of the identical twin criminals had a criminal brother but only half of the fraternals had a criminal brother. This suggests that if similar natures are placed in the same environment they react in much the same way, whereas dissimilar natures react in different

EXPLORE YOUR MIND

By DR. ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM

I THINK a happy wife was a much greater tribute to grandpap's husbandly qualities than such a wife is to his grandson. Grandma had to get all her happiness out of him and the home and had no outside sources of happiness. So if this made her happy he had to be a prize husband. But today the wife has a thousand means of happiness besides merely her husband’s capacity as a provider and all-round entertainer.

There will be a sentimental reunion celebrated by Crosby; et al, on NBC-WLW's “Music Hall” at 8 o'clock tonight when Harry Barri makes a guest appearance. : You may not have heard of Harry Barris, who still is unknown nationally. It hasn’t been many years, though, that he was as well known —or unknown—as the now distinguished Mr. Crosby. In those days they sang together in a trio at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles. The third member of the Rhythm Boys, as they called themselves, was Al Rinker, now a New York music arranger. After the Rhythm Boys disbanded and Bing’s crooning made him a movie institution, Barris likewise looked to the films. He played in several comedies, and in 1935 had a role in “Every Night at Eight” for Paramount. But his movie fame was eclipsed by the more fortunate Mr. Crosby. Maestro Jimmy Dorsey also will have a small part in tonight's reunion.” He was a member of Paul Whiteman’s band when the Rhythm Boys were part of the Whiteman troupe.
