The clever Reginald Gardinev leads a neat touch with a fantastic impersonation of Stokowski and his baton, an act which he repeats in "The Show...
...successful automobile distributor, bought his first station in 1926, founded the chain in 1928. The system began television experimenting in 1931, now televises nightly over W6XAO, once a week with synchronized sound from KHJ. President of Don Lee Broadcasting System since his father died in 1934 has been Thomas Stewart Lee, 30, a favorite in Hollywood cinema circles and a shrewd manager of Don Lee's auto and radio interests...
