"This wr i t ing is about Bobby Hall. Jr . . with Clint T u r n e r ' s Musi­cal Birds. Bobby is m a s t e r of cere­monies at the ciub. announces the radio p r o g r a m direct from the Jef­ferson ni te Club, d i rec t s the band and m a k e s things move along peppy.

Bobby Hall and his _;ang are headed toward Broadway if they keep up the pace they have set thus far. The aggrega t ion is an Ed.

Beautiful Blanche Dunn, one of the bright spots of the current theatrical season. She formerly appeared in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1930" and was undoubtedly a main attraction of this popular Broadway show.
