OB HOPE is the hottest thing in radio. Two years ago he rated ninth in MOVIE BAND RADIO GUIDE'S Star of Stars "best comedian" polL one year ago he leaped to third place and in the 1940 poll he's sur· passed only by Jack Benny himself. Ex· planations pop up on every side. With a cast which includes Judy Garland, Jerry Colonna, Brenda and Cobina, say some, how can a comedian go wrong? Others point wisely to Mr. Hope's stardom in "ZiegfeJd's Follies," "Red, Hot and Blue" and other Broadway hits before his radio· film debut. Bul chief among the proffered elrplanations is the Hope facility for meeting people with a manner which immediately puts them under his lun·making spell, As this facility has become more and more evident on his Tuesday night (NBC) show, requests from all quarters have powed in for Bob's emcee services at banquets, can· ventions, fairs. His ship has come in-and pushing on to its decks are lionizing throngs of admirel's who follow him everywhere.
