work.
Dr. Gummere discussed other sub

Button Button
Here^s Hutton
Magna Charta
It’s started all over again. Is swing
through? We heard it last year; now
we’re hearing it again. Has the rug-
cutter gone with the side-wheeler?
Is the Dipsy-Doodle dipsy, or only a
doodle?
All the people who ever heard a
band, and a lot who have only heard
about one, are sounding off with pages
of theory. Here we are, though, with
the final words on the great American
riddle.
Our guest today is Marion Hutton,
vocalist with Glenn Miller, who really
knows what America wants. Got a
name for it, Marion? Is it a new
kind of swing?
“I don’t know.”
How come?
“Glenn’s the only band I’ve ever
sung with. Almost the only band
I’ve ever beard. I don’t know what
to call what he does. I just like it
fine.”
Diogenes, you can turn off that
flashlight and go on home. When the
honest man turns out to be a pretty
girl, we’ll carry on for you.
For centuries tbe Magna Charta
las been a great document in the fight
for freedom in England. Now the
Magna Charta has become a great
document in Burgess Meredith’s fight
for freedom. Throwing off a yoke of
many years, Meredith will sing in
public in honor of the Magna Charta
on CBS’s Pur.suit of Happiness on
February 4tb.
A former choir boy, as well as
necktie salesman. Wall Street runner,
sailor, and Amherst freshman, Mere
dith has been singing for his friends
only. It has taken the urging of
two people who have heard him in
unguarded moments, to get him to
et the radio audience listen to him
singing the lead in a ballad history
of the historic document, now repos
ing in the Congressional Library. The
two responsible are Maxwell Ander
son and Kurt Weill who wrote the
lyrics and music.

DO YOU KNOW THIS QUICK WAY TO
GET MORE FUN OUT OF READING?
Just put an I. E. S. Lamp beside your easy chair, then
plump yourself down with your book or paper. What a
difference! Reading was never such fun before. Soft,
glareless light from I. E. S. Lamps is a thrilling experience
for the eyes. Try them in your home for better light,
better sight.
