fJOI.I.YWOOn — KDDIE CAN-* * tor bid.-. adieu to the milkers oi gasoline Tonight’s edition ofbe whis keredgags, sincerehuman appeal and the adult artistry of two youngsters, Hobby B r e e n and D e a n n a Durbin, wraps up Eddie's present series. Next Monday night hell bounce back selling a different brandHomer Canfield „f goods. The parting tonight will be a burlesque ot “such sweet sorrow.” Neither employer nor employee has been any too happy in his respective role. It’s a case of let’s call the u hole thing oft.Eddie likes to be headman androam the broadcasting band with the reigns in his own hands. Backed with twenty-five years of success in the show business, this is something that should be his own right.I have been told that the oil backer liked to act the role of boss now and then. And as long as he was paying the bills, you can’t very well blame him. Each had different ideas. At times it was a little trying.Nothing sensational, mind you . .. No iireworks, no scenes, no bla/.e. Just two big men deciding to go their separate ways.The broad' ast comes from New York. Dial KNX at 8:30.★ ★ ★Another saying his “goodbyes” is Lawrence Tibbett. America’s great baritone bows out of the Andre Kostelanetz series to embark on a world-wide concert tour. A W ELCOME sign in big tall letters will be waiting his return to the air as a “regular.” (KNX. 6) Tibbett will stop off in Hollywood next Monday long enough to join Helen Jepson in DeMille’s tadio Theater” production of Naughty Marietta.” And that’san item for the date book.★ ★ ★There are “still more “farewells” in the air. Filmville loses one of it-: top-notch bigwigs in Dick Powell’s “Your Hollywood Parade.” (KFI, 7)While not a world beater or a four-star “Best Bet” offering by any means, Powell’s show, nevertheless. has brought no discredit to Hollywood or to radio production in general.What happened here isn't quite clear. The negative is around omewhere, but no one has been able to get their hands on it to ; make any prints.. Powell, probably Movietown’s j biggest worrier, keeps his own counsel. He has nothing to say. ! The agency handling the account is an interwoven cobweb of internal intrigue and the old double-cross. One says one thing, another j another.i It is your reporter’s guess that Mr. Sponsor found what he thinks will prove a sure-fire novelty in | Kay Kyser’s “Musical College,” j which steps into the ocean-to-1 ocean picture next Wednesday. Maybe he has.Then again, “Your Hollywood Parade costs a lot of jack. Kyser’s show is certain to cost only one-tenth as much. It will probably rate an even greater saving.So, be that as it may, Dick Powell signs off—for the moment, at least. Much conversation is going j on in this burg as to future deals j frying away to bring him back. Time will tell. Dick, in the meantime, is keeping his mouth shut.Copyright. 1938. Homer Canfieldi -
