Tommy Dorsey started out as
a musician in his father’s brass
band. Later he joined up with
his brother, Jimmy, to make the
Dorsey name famous. Then they
decided it would be better if there
were two Dorsey name bands in
stead of one so they split up. To
day Tom and Jimmy rate as two
of the most outstanding bands of
the country.
Ray Nohle, the musical come
dian of radio, achieved fame in
the U. S .when an American
brought one of his records here,
from England. Offers from Amer
icans finally persuaded him to
come over to this side of the
world.
Harry James was born in a cir

would do many stunts such as
jumping through a small hoop
with a glass of water balanced on
his head. He played the trumpet
on the side. He left the circus
and played for the Salvation
Army. Soon he started playing
with professional bands, and fin
ally with Benny Goodman. Good
man persuaded him to form his
own band.
Gene Krupa first played the
driuns with a kid band, playing
every Saturday. From the time
he was thirteen he would hang
around big bands hoping for a
chance to play with one. One
night, some years later, Krupa
took the place of a drummer boy
who fainted. He was able to keep
the job. He played with Gene
Kyser’s, Red Nichols’, and Ben
ny Goodmans’ Bands. Most of his
fame was won when he made
several records with Goodman
and Ted Wilson. Now he has his
own band.

her on his program and made her
famous.

STENOGRAPHERS
WANTED IN DEFENSE
Secretarial students here
are being offered an excell
ent opportunity for partici
pating in defense work as
there is a definite need for
qualified workers in the na
tion’s capital. Miss Sara Boul-

Ginny Simms graduated from
Fresno State College in Califor
nia as a singer. She went to Los
Angeles and was successful in
securing a job with Tom Gerun.
Gerun took her to Chicago where
Kay Kyser hired her. Ginny was
trying to get into pictures but
was turned down because she had
crooked teeth. Kyser had a spe
cial dentist look after Ginny who
after many agonies with braces
was rewarded with one of the
finest sets of teeth. Ginny has
now broken her contract with
Kay Kyser to go into the movies.
It is rumored that Kay was will
ing to break it because Ginny
and he were man and wife, but
they both are silent about the
■^hole thing.

ing hundreds of qualified steno
graphers into Washington. While

Stenographers may seem far
removed from bullets and bayon
ets, but the battle on the home
front must also be won. One of
the most important needs of the
Federal Government today is for
stenographers.

$1,400 a year to start. Chances of
promotion from the junior to the
senior grade are favorable, de
pending upon the individual’s
ability, personality, education,
and performance on the job. Sen
ior stenographers receive $1,620 a
year, and the opportunities for
