FEBRUARY 17, 1962 Cadence recording star Eddie Hodges, one of the most versatile and promising young talents on the entertainment scene, hears about the international success of his first recorded effort from Archie Bleyer, head of Cadence Records (seated) and Budd Dolinger, national sales manager of the diskery. The youngster’s first single “I’m Gonna Knock On Your Door” was a solid hit all over the world. He is currently repeating with his latest single “Ban- dit Of My Dreams,” now climbing the charts. On the film front, Hodges will get star hilling in the forthcoming movie version of “Advise & Consent.” He is also a leading contender for a role in the Boh Hope-Lucille Ball film version of the stage show “Critic’s Choice” in which he starred on Broadway.
