on WNEW-TV called the "Soupy SalesSoon every youngster was doing "The Show." He mixed comedy with fantasy, Mouse." (Isn't it a lot like "The Freddie?") improvised nuttiness with genuine charm, Soupy started to play some dates around all intertwined with characters like Pookie the lion puppet, White Fang the dog, and the giant dog, Black Tooth. At one point he was forced to sit on the sidelines for a week for asking his audience to send any of the green stuff they found around the house to him. Soupy's young fans knew he didn't mean it, but parents were irate. That might have been the turning point. For suddenly everyone was watching Soupy-kids, teens, and adults. For many adults he became an "in" thing-like "Rocky and His Friends" were three or four years ago, or some of the early Hanna -Barbera shows. Or maybe like Pooh and Christopher Robin are to the University set. ("Winnie Ille Pu.") KIDS DID IT. Adults though were but the fringe. The main audience was the kids. Not the swinging teen set-although they appreciated him too. The main Soupy audience ranged from 5 to 13, the kinder- garten-grammer school -junior high set. ABC -Paramount saw a good thing in Soupy. They signed him to a record con- tract. He sang a song called "The Mouse." It broke wide open in New York. Soupyas Philo Kvetch, detective Ed Sullivan, always alert to the action, signed him for a TV spot on his show.New York. He attracted a crowd of 7000 Soupy came out and sang "The Mouse,"at an appearance at Rutgers University. Soupy with pie ... and did which could be called a two step. Hip college kids.

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. It doesn't hap- pen often but when it does the effect is magical, electric, exhilarating. A star is born. It can happen anywhere and any- time. It can happen with singers, disc jock- eys, comics. It happened three years ago for a lass named when she made her first appearance at New York's Basin Street East. It happened for Alan Freed back in 1955 in New York, when he pounded the table to the beat of his rock and roll records over station WINS. It happened on TV when Frank Fon- taine sang his sentimental songs on the Jackie Gleason Show a few years ago. HAPPENED FOR SOUPY. Now it has happened for Soupy Sales-comic, singer, personality. It has happened in New York, the big town-the big time. It happened slowly. He made a dent on the West Coast where he had a top -rated TV show from 1961 to 1964. He had a rec- ord album then, on Reprise, which sold like mad in the area-but no- where else. Soupy came East about six months ago. He got a daily half-hour show "We Wont Soupy ... We Want Soupy"

6 SIGNED FOR PARAMOUNT. Morris Levy, readying his first show at the New York Paramount, signed Soupy to head- line the show. Friday morning, April 16, at the early- Stage Review bird hour of 8 a.m., 3000 youngsters were lined up to get into the Paramount. They wanted to see Soupy. "We want Soupy" they chanted. New York Paramount Theater When Soupy came on stage Pandemo- nium broke loose. Their idol was on stage -in Person. That was it. A new Pied Piper had arrived. Successneedsnoexplanation,and Soupy Said "Come" And The Soupy's success is no exception to the rule. He's cute, he's funny, he is uninhibited, he is clean, he likes what he's doing, he likes Kids Followed Their Leader kids. The custard pies-made out of shaving cream and cardboard-are a Soupy Sales great King Curtis band. Soupy said trademark.

Sonny and Cher are a hus- band and wife team from Los Angeles, who singin what could be called a "soul groove" laid down by the Righteous Brothers. They currently have a record getting action on the Atco label called "Just You." Before making the disc scene as a vocal duo, Sonny, whose fullnameisSonnyBono, worked as a record promotion man in the Los Angeles area. They had two records re- leasedbeforetheircurrent Atco disc, but although both got much air play, neither took off. "Just You" was written and arranged by Sonny, and pro- duced by the West Coast team, York -Pala. The record is kick- ing up action in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is be- ginning to be exposed in other areas of the country. They will have a guest shot in the upcoming picture "Beach House Party," in which they will sing "It's Gonna Rain Outside." The song was written by Sonny. Keep your eye on this duo.

It's the breaking in that'sthe hardest. If you want to become an arrangeror a disc producer that is. For Alan Lorber, one of the most successfulyoung arrangers on the New York scene today, who is also carving outan exciting career as a disc producer and composer, it all started at WMCA, in New York back in 1956. Lorber had known he wanted a career in thepop music busi- ness from the day he enrolled at Queens College in such music courses as harmony and piano. His first job in the music business was with Music Publisher's Holding Corp. After twoyears he became an assistant librarian at WMCA under BobWhite, then in charge of the station library.
