...perhaps, were certain figures in the annual Crossley summary on program popularity released in Broadcasting this week by the Cooperative Analysis of Broadcasting. Although confined to evening programs, they strongly suggested that at least one type of program could be safely substituted in daytime for a few of the sadder washboard weepers. From October 1940 to April 1941, Drama & Serial Drama had an average popularity rating of 11.7, with 28% of evening time on the air. Only 1.2 behind in popularity was Classical & Semi-Classical Music at 10.5, but this type of program had only 3.2% of evening air time...

What he wants most is $25,000 to start his dream band, and the jitterbugs bring him a gross of $2,000 to $2,500 a night, five nights a week.

A fade-out starts Sita's child, who combines many of the features of all three, on his career. His name is Samadhi, which means Collection. (Such symmetries make one shudder to think what Dr. Mann could do with Abie's Irish Rose.) This story is told with a great writer's irony at its most bland, cruel and elegant...
...beaten Princeton, and the Tigers have either beaten all the rest of the Crimson's opponents, or won from crews which have defeated Harvard's future rivals, it would appear that there isn't much the side of the West Coast to press the Crimson. Hut many are sadder who thought that the better crew on paper was naturally better on water...
