Smilin’ Ed seems to be an almost exact prototype of the lovable and immortal “Scatter- good Baines” of Clarence Biding- ton Kelland’s famous stories, Although Ed doesn’t take off his shoes and wiggle his stockinged toes to think, and he doesn’t spit tobaccy juice, yet he will and DOES shed his coat, roll up his shirt sleeves and prop his feet on your front porch banister while he discusses this year’s crop or next year's political outcome or Aunt Sally's latest misery. He snaps his suspenders too, by golly. He's at home wherever he goes— strangers simply do not exist for him. It's impossible to feel stiff- necked in his presence. These homely characteristics have endeared Ed McConnell to millions of radio listeners and 5 ae in “Hour by U. 8.

There's no fuss and fanciness about Smilin’ Ed. He's just plain old Ed McConnell, understanding and understandable to all. Per- haps that is why he is so univer~ sally loved and applauded.

All the roles in the popular com- edy program, to be heard over an NBC-KFYR network from 4:30 to 5 p. m. (CST), sre taken by Bruce Kamman, Marian and Jim Jordan, Johnny Wolf, Thor Ericson and Mer-| rill Fugit. The cast is one of the,most ver- satile in radio.

Marian Jordan, popular radio com- edienne, is both Gertie Glump and Mrs. Van Schuyler. Jim Jordan is Mickey Donovan and Cy Wintergreen. Johnny Wolf plays Isador Finkel- stein and Mrs, Finkelstein. He also plays the trumpet in -the: orchestra, which is directed by Harry Kogen. Thor Ericson rarely takes more than one part, that of Yohhny Yohnson. Merrill Fugit is Percy Van Schuyler. The program was originated by Kamman and brought to the NBC networks in September, 1932, It soon proved to be one of the most popular comedy shows on the air, drawing an enthusiastic response from old and young alike. The waiting list for studio tickets to the performances reached the figure of 33,000. THOMAS IS SOLOIST IN SUNDAY PROGRAM, Metropolitan Opera Star. Will Be Heard in Three Famous Baritone Arias A program featuring highlights from opera and ballet, with John Charles Thomas as soloist, will be presented in a concert to be broadcast over an NBC-KFYR network at 9 p.m. (CST) Sunday, Dec. 29. Thomas, who within a few short years rose from a musical comedy lead to a Metropolitan Opera star, will be heard in three famous baritone arias—the “Vision Fugitive’ from Massenet's “Herodiade,” the “Song of the Evening Star” from Wagner’s “Tannhauser” and the ever-popular prologue to “Pagliacci.” Conductor Erno Rapee will open the program with Molinari’s orchestra ar- rangement of Handel's “Largo,” orig- inally written as an aria in his opera “Xerxes.” Five ballet numbers for or- ATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1935 ___ 1935 Veloz and Yolanda liked Art Kassel’s song, Around With You,” so much that they created a new step—“The Bounce”—based on the song.

JOLSON TO RETURN TO RADIO PROGRAM WHICH HE STARTED Star of Stage and Screen Will Fill Four-Fold Role in Chateau Feature Al Jolson will begin his radio new year by returning to Chateau, the program which he introduced over an NBC-KFYR network last April. His Hollywood picture engagement com- pleted, Jolson will resume his four- fold role of singer, comedian, actor and master of ceremonies on the first Chateau broadcasts of 1936 Saturday, Jan. 4, at 8:30 p.m. (CST). There- after he will be featured regularly with the program. While Jolson was engaged in picture making, Wallace Beery, screen star, has been staging the big Saturday night variety show. Beery will leavé the program after the broadcast Dec. 28. This will complete his 12th pro- gram, a limit he set when accepting the engagement. Jolson joined Chateau after a life- time of success in Broadway musical revues and later in motion Before the microphone he was as great a success as star and impresario of the Chateau yariety bill. During his 26 weeks on the air this year he presented more than 100 prominent guest performers, some of them for the first time. After he left in October, Beery continued the guest-star policy. Victor Young and his orchestra, who have been on the show since its in- auguration, will carry on. I'd Like to’ Bounce "THE CHAMP” T0 BE BEERY’S FEATURE Jackie Cooper Will Appear With Master-of-Ceremonies Sat- urday Evening Wally Beery will play his greatest dramatic role, “The Champ,” in his final broadcast tonight, Dec. 28. With Berry will be Jackie Cooper, the child actor who leaped into fame overnight as a result of his perform- ance with Berry in “The Champ.” The remainder of the company with Wally, gathered for the broadcast over an NBC-KFYR network at 8:30 p. m. (CST), includes Allen Jones, singing star of the screen; Tim Ryan and Irene Noblette, comedy team, and Mattie Bell, coach of the Southern Methodist University football team. Mattie Bell led his Southern Meth- Odist football warriors to a place in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day during the current gridiron season. In an interview with Beery, Bell will tell some of the sidelights of the S. M. U. campaign. Allen Jones has just been signed to Play the lead roles in screen versions of “Show Boat” and “The Student Prince.” Accompanied | by Victor Young and his Chateau orchestra he will sing a group of numbers.. Tin Ryan and Irene Noblette started their career as a comedy team on the Pa- cific coast but for the last year or s9 have been in the east for stage ap- Pearances and network broadcasts. Now they are back in the familiar Hollwwood studios. Jack Stanton and Peggy Gardiner, boy-and-girl singing team, will heard in a duet and Victor Young’s chestra will be played, the waltz from Tschaikowsky’s ‘Sleeping Beauty,” the “Sailor's Dance” from Gliecre’s “Red Poppy,” Massenet’s “Air de Ballet,” and from Delibes’ “Sylvia” ballet, the March and Procession of Bacchus. For finale the orchestra will present the overture to Wagner's “Die Meister- singer.” During the intermission there will. be the usual talk on “Safe Driving.” Believe it or not, all Christen- dom will observe Robert L, Ripley’s 42nd birthday this year! For “Rip,” whose dramatizations of truths stranger than fiction are heard on the NBC air channels every Sunday night, was born at Santa Rose, Cal., Christmas Day, 1893. The cartoon- ist, by the way, has discovered Christ was not born in the first year of the Christian era. His birth occurred about six years before the period when the era began. A mistake in computation by a sixth-century chronologist is responsible for the error, according to Ripley. What must a young singer pos- sess to succeed? Gladys Swarthout, opera and cinema star heard on NBC's air waves, sums it up this way: First, talent and the impulse to sing; second, training; third, im- agination; and fourth, lucky breaks. “& combination of circumstances al- ways is necessary to a successful career,” explains Miss Swarthout. “But the breaks present themselves if the singer has talent, ambition, train- ing and imagination.” reverence and rare econ- omy of cost are the Golden Rule.

Thirteen-year-old Mary Small, the little girl with the big voice on NBC, is an industrious collector of auto- graphs. So, naturally she wanted to have Rudy Vallee inscribe his name in her album. He graciqusly obliged and then gallantly solicited Mary's signature for his collection. Mary says that was the most thrilling mo- ment of her career.

I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. I’m careful what I eat and have learned proper food combina- tions, I’m not ashamed to be known as a fellow who leads what is some- times sneeringly called ‘a clean life’.” ———— Little Grace Dunn Related to Royalty [crate | Little Grace Dunn, feminine soloist of the Campus Revue, heard Fridays over. an NBC- KFYR network at 9:30 p. m. (CST), is distantly related to British royalty, but she doesn’t go around telling people about it. The information leaked out while Grace was being questioned about her singing career..

That ended the questioning until the interviewer happened to remember that Lady Alice Mon- tagu-Douglas-Scott, the recent bride of the Duke of Gloucester, isthe daughter of a later Duke of Buccleuch, whose death caused cancellation of wedding festivi- ties. ¥ Confronted with this, Grace ad- mitted that she might be distantly related to the royal family by marriage, but she declared that she was sure the relationship was “no eloset than that -of 42nd cousin, so she didn’t see anything to brag about.

Occasionally he would lay down his instrucent and sing the chorus of a number, meeting with such success he decided to concentrate on singing.
