Each day five persons are selected for their opinions on a question of the day.
QUESTION
If you could hear only 5 radio programs a week which ones would you select?
Julia Kacur, Book Shoe store.
“Jack Benny heads the list and holding the spotlight with him is Frank Parker. And then in order to hear Frank Parker again I listen to the A. and P. Gypsies Monday nights. I would listen to Wayne King and his orchestra;
Morton Downey and lastly Fred Waring's band.”
Miss Kitty Wood, Getty Shoe store.
“I'd start my week's program with Grand Hotel and then sit by the radio for Jack Benny for to my way of thinking his program is the best on the air. I'd switch later that evening to Rubinoff and then for the remaining six days of the week I'd choose Mary Marlin's noon program for one day and hope that some other day I might be able to listen to the incomparable Madame Schumann Heink.”
George Silver, City.
“Naturally my preferences would incline toward the musical but ahead of them all I place Jack Benny. The other programs I would select are Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians; Glen Gray's Casa Loma band; Richard Himber's
orchestra on the Studebaker program; and the orchestra which accompanies Willard Robeson on the Vicks program. This latter orchestra has done more than any other, to my way of thinking, in arousing interest in old Southern melodies and the negro songs. Their novel and unique arrangements of numbers is splendid.”
Mrs. Harry McDowell and Jimmy McDowell, 54 Butler St.
“My radio interests coincide with those of my young son for we're at home together alone so much that I must compel myself to like what he does. So Jimmy and I would say that the five I programs we would select are
Jack Benny, Today's Children, Clara, Lou and Em, George Porgie and Cowboy Louie.”
Harry McDowell, 54 Butler St.
“I just couldn't miss Jack Benny. I'd have to hear Amos and Andy at least once; I'd want to hear Lowell Thomas and Joe Penner and then, I'd wind up with Will Rogers.”
