THE SPEEDWAY FLYER

Released by Western Newspaper Union. BY VIRGINIA VALE Frances langford, who’s doing such a swell job on that radio program that she heads, got just what she wanted in a scene for RKO’s “Radio Stars on Parade.” Starred with Wally Brown and Alan Carney jp the musical, which has “Truth or Consequences” Ralph Edwards Skirliy Ennis and his band, Frances found the studio set the scene of a revival of Hollywood slapstick technique. This included the use of custard pies as missiles. “Ever

s Ki * FRANCES LANGFORD

since I started making pictures I’ve wanted to throw a pie at someone,” said she. “It seemed such fun. I found it was.” Alan Carney was on the receiving end of the past?y, and found Frances’ aim as good as her voice. When George Burns and Gracie Allen left the air for the summer, they agreed not to speak of their radio work again till it came time to prepare for the fall series. Violation of the pact to cost the violator a dollar. George owes Gracie S2B, she owes him $lB. After 10 years of starring male names exclusively, “Your Hit Parade” shatters a precedent by starring Joan Edwards, who’s been on the program four years. She also gets a big salary boost and a longterm contract. Joan’s lucky star (and a lot of good hard work, plus plenty of talent) have put her right on top. She returned home from Hollywood with offers from 20th Cen-tury-Fox and Warner Bros. Glenn Vernon, Robert Clarke and Jim Jordan Jr., have been cast to play inmates of the notorious 18th century London lunatic asylum Bedlam, in “Chamber of Horrors,” at their own request. The canny young men realized that those roles are sure scene-stealers. Andy Russell not only has a giltedged voice, he also has the golden touch, apparently. Recently Andy, who makes his screen debut in “Stork Club,” bought a metal plating plant on the Los Angeles East Side, where he was born. And promptly got a large government order, as well as some for the civilian market. His brother, Freddy Rabago, runs the plant for him. Betty Hutton presented “graduating” members of B. G. DeSylva’s “Stork Club” company with wai bonds wrapped to resemble diplomas when shooting on the picture was finished. They were distributed from a basket decorated with i stork in cap and gown. Eddie Bracken’s fans came through with more than 150 suggestions for naming the new baby, after it was announced that they’d expected a boy, to be named Michael. Most of the fans suggested “Michelle.” But the Brackens settled on Caroline Jean. * Clark Gable and Joan Blondell warble “The Trolley Song” for a short sequence in Metro’s “Tht Strange Adventure,” in which he stars with Greer Garson. When she found that they were also to sing “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,’ 1 Miss Blondell turned to Directoi Victor Fleming and demanded “Whc are we—Nelson Gable and Jeanette Blondell?” Who knows—maybe this is the beginning of a new singing team. .

Connee Boswell, who first became known as a member of the Boswel) Sisters, has been signed for an im portant role in “Swing Parade,” the Monogram musical starring Gale Storm and Phil Regan. Among othei numbers, Connee will sing “Stormy Weather.” * ODDS AND ENDS—Vacationing at Newport beach, Humphrey Bogart tael lessly laughed when the new Mrs Bogart sat down on the rail, slipped and landed in the water. . . . Anne Lee’s first picture since becoming an American citizen is the Boris Karlofi "Chamber of Horrors.” . . . When he’s not acting in Pine-Thomas thriller! Bob Lowery hies him to Laguna beach and dives for abalone. . . . Edward Gargan has played reel cops so fre quently that he swears real policemen mistake him for some fellow whost face is familiar, but whose name the) can’t recall. . . . Gene Krupa to lectun on native African drumming. * Old Timer: “Yeah. See, when 1 married I promised myself I’d never fight with my wife. So when she gets cross and snappy and I feel like gettin’ mad. I go out in the yard.” Dr. Fisher: “So what?” Old Timer: “Well, 40 years in the open air will do a lot for anyone.

Bread Upon The Waters ’Mid the losses and the gains. ’Mid the pleasures and the pains; ’Mid the hopings and the fears, And the restlessness of years, We repeat the passage o’er— We believe it more and more—- “ Bread upon the waters cast Shall be gathered at the last.” Gold and silver, like the sands, Will keep slipping through our hands, Jewels gleaming like a spark Will be hidden in the cfark; Sun and moon and stars will pale, But these will never fail—- “ Bread upon the waters cast Shall be gathered at the last.” Some like dust to you and me Will our earthly treasure be; But the loving words and deeds To a soul in bitterest need, They will unforgotten' be. They will live eternally—- “ Bread upon the waters cast Shall be gathered at the last.” —Anonymous.

Why Not Waffles? —By Frances Lee Barton WANT a change? Why not serve waffles? They are easy to prepare and neither your

family nor your guests will refuse them. The only argument against serving them Is that there are so many calls for second helpings I — but after all, 1 that’s pleasing

I ! i

to a hostess even though it calle for additional labor. Crisp Waffles 2 cups sifted cake flour; 2 teaspoons double acting baking pow* der; % teaspoon salt; 2 egg yolks, well beaten; 1 cup milk; % cup melted shortening; 2 egg whites. Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift again. Combine egg yolks, milk, and shortening; add to flour, beating until smooth. Beat egg whites until they will hold up in moist peaks. Stir quickly but thoroughly lnto % batter. Bake in hot waffle iron. Makes four 4-section waffles.

HOOSIER IN PACIFIC STARTS OWN ZOO Wounded Monkey Is Named “Purple Heart” Sgt. Neal Wetherald, with the veteran 57th Engineer Combat of the American Infantry Division, and three of his buddies have started a zoo in the South Pacific. They captured two monkeys and a. parrot in the jungle.

The monkey that Sgt. Wetherald caught was named Purple Heart because it was wounded during one of the battles. Purple Heart finally became a nuisance. He was always getting into trouble. So the boys decided to lose him. They took him in the jungle three different times. But by the time they got back to the truck, he was there before them. Sgt. Wetherald is the nephew of Mrs. Amy Reed, 2130 E. 10th street. He is stationed in Yokohoma. He was on a flag ship that was part of a convoy. He wrote to his aunt that he was so happy that they could go in peacefully, not fighting. Remarked that there was utter desolation in the city, thesiestruction had been so complete. He has been in the Southwest Pacific for three years. Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.

BIG INCREASE in Long Distance calls The return of thousands of overseas veterans has brought another great upsurge in Long Distance calls. We are trying hard to handle these calls on lines that already are overcrowded. Your help is needed. Please "go easy" on Long Distance by making only necessary calls and keeping them reasonably brief. INDIANA BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
