...musical brow somewhere between chin and navel. The first eight: Strauss's The Blue Danube (conducted by Leopold Stokowski); La Donna è Mobile, from Verdi's Rigoletto (sung by Caruso); Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (sung by Marian Anderson); Franz Liszt's Liebestraum (performed by the First Piano Quartet); Victor Herbert's Italian Street Song (sung by Jeanette MacDonald); Bluebird of Happiness (sung by Jan Peerce); Jalousie (performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra); Make Believe, from Show Boat (sung by Allan Jones...

Kate Smith's big new number was There I Go, new some months ago. Lucky Strike's Your Hit Parade was a parade of the only "hits" it was allowed to play-the well-worn There I Go, So You're The One, Frenesi, seven others.
