To give listeners a dance program refreshingly different from all others was Chesterfield's difficult demand of André Kostelanetz. But his genius for striking arrangements, evident throughout the Lily Pons -Nino Martini series, gave glowing response, as did his musicians, and the request of his sponsor was gratifyingly fulfilled. Musical conductors vary considerably. The importance of a conductor cannot be emphasized too strongly. The fate of an orchestra is in his baton.
Fortunately, the Kostelanetz orchestra is composed of the finest musicians on the air. So naturally, with his direction, his arrangements, his judgment and personality there is nothing musical of which they are incapable. Whether you prefer swing time to waltz time; slow tempo to fast, your wishes, and Chesterfield's, are met Wednesday and Friday evenings when André Kostelanetz and his dance orchestra go on the air. His vocalists, Kay Thompson, Ray Heatherton, the Rhythm singers and Announcer David Ross are under the same magic spell as his musicians, as they do achieve a dance program refreshingly different. To André Kostelanetz for his musical genius, RADIO STARS Magazine is happy to present its award for Distinguished Service to Radio.

The Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem in accordance with its policy of allow- ing all political parties to have an equal say over its network, and having already given air time to the Democratic, ReputF- Bean and Socialist leaders, announced that it was permitting Mr. Browder, Commlm- ist candidate for the presidency, to speak 1l over CBS stations at 10:45 E.D.S.T. on a certain evening. That announcement stirred up a hot-bed of furor. Hearst blasted CBS for its move. The subject was brought up on the floor of Congress and much angry feeling was let loose. Groups and indi- viduals all over the country were raging. And the total fury came to a head on the day of the broadcast when news was re- ceived that anti- communists were going to picket the network's building.

You'll find quite a number of hats which seem to use coiffure details in trim- ming-it's an amusing idea and surpris- ingly becoming. When it comes to evening clothes, Betty told me that she doesn't care for sophistication at all. She likes simple. youthful styles without any very bizarre details or cuts. I found her whole atti- tude on clothes one of saneness, with just enough enthusiasm for new tricks and ideas. I would say that she is a good type to follow for girls who are blonde. blue- eyed and of medium height. Her dis- interest in extremes is a grand example to anyone who can't resist trying out every fad and fancy which comes along.

It is, indeed, and I suggest that you try it out as an after -school lunch for your child or a mid-afternoon pick -me -up for yourself. Don't add any flavoring. Two other easily made ice cream treats also appeal to Mr. King, Cherry-Almond and Hawaiian Sundaes. Both call for vanilla ice cream to begin with. For the first, large black canned cherries are used. These are drained and placed around the cream. The whole is then topped with finely chopped or shredded almonds. Salted almonds may be used. The second sundae is made by arranging wedges of canned pineapple attractively on top of individual servings of ice cream. Place a cherry (red or green maraschino) in the center for color contrast and pour a little of the juice from the can into each dish. Well, those suggestions are certainly easy, aren't they?
