It GIBBS was there that he met a 7-year-old polio victim who threw down his crutches and leaned on Danny to sing “Ciu Ciu Bella”. The song and Danny Kaye’s heart-warming story of this experience will be featured on the Dec. 2 Edward B. Murrow “See It Now” WITH THE HIT VERSION program on CBS-TV.

“INDEED, I DO” AND "HURTING ALL THE TIME"

NEW YORK—Joe Louis, former world’s heavyweight champion is giving young Solomon Burke of Apollo Records some fine pointers on the art of “hitting.” In this case the art of hitting with records. Louis recently turned song writer and penned, with Mari Horton, “You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide,” based on his famous reply to the fight experts who asked him how he planned to cope with the speed and agility of Billy Conn when they met for the world’s title. Said Louis, “He can run but he can’t hide.” Burke recorded The GREATEST Spiritual Around Today! the Louis tune on the Apollo label.

money-maker of all time is rolling out of the United factory to distributors

all over the nation. It earns more money for the operator than any

amusement game ever built . . . and that s plenty. No need to attempt

to describe this great new sensation on this page . . . there s too much to

tell. So, we urge you to get in touch with your United distributor now.

Better still . . . make a fast trip to his show-room right away . . . and you II see a really new and different piece of equipment with built-in profits.
