...lawyer by training, Banker Aldrich got down to legal brass tacks with specific changes which he thought should be made in the Banking Act of 1933. His proposals had not only a strong legal but a strong moral tenor, natural to a brother-in-law of John D. Rockefeller Jr. Important Aldrich suggestions for the uplift of banking...
Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, on the stage, put on a lot of horseplay which, for people who like horseplay, is very good horseplay. The best thing in the whole program, despite its incongruity and questionable taste, is a solo rendition of the Ave Maria by Stuart Churchill, tenor of merit.

The festive evening is rounded out with an inconceivably asinine organ solo, with words on the screen about the relative merits of Jamaica Plain and South Boston as places to call home. It all ends with a cheer...

The adapters in their effort to oil away the creaks have injected many...

Almost as striking as the Spalding-Castoria conjunction will be the crooning of Helen Morgan for Bi-So-Dol, stomach sweetener, at 2 p. m. Sundays. Tenor John McCormack will sing lush Irish ballads for Vince mouthwash. Spindling Nat Shilkret & orchestra will provide a background for the Vitamin A in Smith Brothers couph-drops. Nino Martini will sing for Lirit bath softener. Actor Fred Stone, a comparative newcomer to radio, will have his wife and three daughters with...
