NSPIRED by the Zeppelin Hinden-

burg, Columbia Broadcasting Sys-

tem's new audience studio is the

last word in modern design.

Compared to the WGN theatre

across Michigan Boulevard or the

seating capacity of some of NBC's

studios, CBs Studio Number 10 is

not large; but it has a cozy studio

atmosphere that makes it very at-

tractive.

The stage is rather small, barely

large enough to accommodate Billy

Mills' string orchestra; and the thea-

tre seats 285. But perhaps you'd like

to take a trip through the studio

yourself. We have two tickets for

the

"Poetic Melodies," so come along with

new

chewing gum program,

me.

Submarine Doors

We get off the bus at the Wrigley

Building and go in the North door.

Quite a crowd is hurrying toward the

end of the hall and we follow them.

We come into a reception room at

one side of which is a modern circu-

lar stairway, at the other an attrac-

tive reception girl, and straight

ahead are heavy steel doors that

look a bit as if they might have come

off a submarine.

A clock-work usher with arms

akimbo takes our tickets and turns

us over to another usher who shows

us our seats. Let's look around a

minute before the show goes on the

air.

The color-scheme of the studio is

bright blue, steel gray, and beige,

with chromium. The walls are of

has been nicknamed "Strangler"

by the cast of Modern Cinderella.

Orchestra Leader Eric Sagerquist

played Eddie's favorite song and

Eddie rewarded him with a hug.

Sagerquist is now taped up with

a broken rib.

/ MUSIC

HO can help us help these

readers? Mrs. M. A. Tuthill,

87 years of age and a resident

of Wyoming, Illinois, wants the words

to a song her four brothers, Civil War

soldiers, used to sing. The title was

"Mother's Answer to 'Just Before the

Battle, Mother'." Here is the chorus.

Can someone supply the rest of the

song for this page?

Farewell; Mother may not fold thee

To her throbbing heart again,

But Oh! If Mother's prayers can save thee,

None shall write thee with the slain.

Mrs. Frank H. Aldrich, La Grange,

Indiana, asks for a song that is not

in the music library. She remembers

it from hearing her mother sing it

and thinks the title is “Grandfather's

Garrett." We'll run it in Stand By if

someone sends us a copy.

For Mrs. Lena Hedrick, Pittsfield,

Illinois, we'd like to locate and print

the words to "The Picket Off the

Garden Gate." We know nothing at

all about this number, but its title

would indicate that it was written

between 1870 and 1885. If anyone

has a dated copy we'd appreciate

knowing the exact date so we can

check our guess.
