3 records by a radio star

If you're having any fun with this page, make a good job of it this Saturday and try out to-night's air star, Jack Warner, singing "Are You Having Any Fun?" for Partophone. On the other side is a vintage Warner number, "The Bunger Up of Rat Holes." There is only one better Warner song i know, which is "Rorlway Lanes" (Railway Lines). You could buy that, too.

If it's sweet singing you fancy, try little Cella Lipton (daughter of band-t

-leader Lipton) at work on the two best "Babes in Arms" numbers--- "Good Morning" and "Where or When" (Columbia),

If it's band, I can't suggest better than the combination of Carroll Gibbons and Irving Berlin in "It's a Lovely Day To-morrow" (Columbia),
