Gaston came into being year and a half ago when Chateau Martin's president, a onetime hosiery man named Martin Lefcort, decided that it would be a good idea to have a Frenchman plug his California wines. The notion was developed by Chateau Martin's advertising agent, Herman C. Morris, whose outfit whipped together a series of chats by a comic Frenchman, who, after a sip of Chateau Martin '39, uniformly wound up: "I go queek get my citizenship papers." This folderol, tried over a few stations, was so successful that Chateau Martin upped its spot announcement...
...first place, a Harvard band is a bigger drawing card. A House dance poster announcing that Herman Blotz and his orchestra will play has about as much appeal as a Lampoon Dutch Tilead. On the other hand, if you see a poster announcing Russ Randolphs the chances are you'll say to yourself: "Say, I know a couple of guys in this band. I'd like to see how they play." So you go to hear them and you won't be disappointed. Which brings up my second point: Two big Harvard bands are easily as good, and in most...

...Wholly Cats features the surprise of the year: Georgie Auld off tenor sax. Georgie used to be to the sax what Buddy Rich is to drums. Now he's playing swell horn, modelling his style on 'Coleman Hawkins', and you couldn't ask for a better master.... Dillagene, Woody Herman's new vocalist, does a nice job on Five O'clock Whistle, (DECCA). She's one of the few really good girl singers around these days. Reverse is The Golden Wedding, full of jungle music and tom-toms. Okay if you like that sort of thing.... Somebody by the name...
Temple University is a teeming, shirt-sleeved institution in the heart of Philadelphia. It was founded by Baptist Preacher Russell Herman Conwell, who gave it the estimated $7,000,000 proceeds from his famed "Acres of Diamonds" speech-a simple, inspirational address which he delivered more than 6,000 times before his death in 1925. Today, Temple has more than 12,000 day & night students, mass-educates them at cut rates ($200 plus special fees...
