He's not "a crooner, & blues singer nor & “straight” baritone. Instead, he has a technique all his own, a sly d livery of tone that weaves its way through a song in a manner hard to describe. And the men like his style! Behind Colum- bo's sensational risetoradio popularity is a story of hard work and _disappoint- ment. He was born studied the violin with Calmon Lu- boviskl. He got his first orchestra job while he was studying with Luboviski, and money he earned as afl obscure violinist in a dance orchestra went for lessons and to help support the family. The young musician’s mother, an invalid, needed constant care. ‘Then Russ began doing the vocal work in the orchestra. In the meantime the Hollywood studios heard of his voice and he sang leading roles in & Russ Columbe, ‘Wolf Song, starring Betty Compton “The Texan, with Lupe Velez, and with Gary Cooper. And, strangely, the movie work was more or less a side line. Russ had his heart in orchestra work.. He even or- ganized his own club and started mak- ing money. Los Angeles flocked to hear the new Coast sensation. One of An eminent scientist writes the head chemist in our Research Department: these was Con Conrad, New York song writer. Conrad was captivated by the liquid tones of the singer’s mellow bari- tone. He induced Columbo to quit the club business and come East. He lleved Russ had tremendous radio pos- sibllitles. A few weeks ago Conrad arrived with Columbo and introduced the shy youth to N. B.

Soit is in the manufacture of CHESTER- FIELD cigarettes. Expert chemists test all the materials that are used in any way in CHEs- TERFIELD’S manufacture, to make sure that everything that goes into CHESTERFIELD is just right. THE LEAF TOBACCO 1S PURE. Long steel ovens—drying machines of the most modern type—scientifically “dry” and clean and purify the natural tobacco leaves by exact high-temperature treatment. Then the shreds of cut tobacco, as you see theminyour CHESTERFIELD, areagain heated, cleaned and purified. From these pure to- baccos the cigarettes are made, and only the purest paper—the best that can be made—is used for CHESTERFIELD. Cigarettes used to be made in an old-fash- ioned way, by hand. Now, no hand but yours touches CHESTERFIELD—another purity safe- guard. CHESTERFIELDS are made and packed in clean, sanitary factories where even the air is changed every four and one-half minutes— purity again. ALL THIS CARE is taken to give you CHESTERFIELDS as nearly perfect as cigarettes can be made. Delivered in a moisture-proof, sealed package, they reach you just as good, just as pure as when they leave the factory, Good... . they've got to be good—they’re just as pure as the water you drink | 3 The Dial Log.
