By the time Buster Bear had whirled around after Danny had surprised and startled him by running out from un der his very paw as he started to rake over a little pile of leaves In search of beechifuts, Danny had, as you know, disappeared.

He must be right around here somewhere. Prob ably he Is hiding under some of these leaves. I’ll pull over a few of them and find out."

Also It Is not possible to enjoy a continu ous show since the visitor cannot get from one studio td another, In time, especially since the tickets are not goood later than 15 minutes before the broadcast. But the breaks serve the same purpose as do Intermissions in the legitimate theater and are spe*, dally welcomed by smokers since smoking is forbidden In the studios and ushers are on hand to enforce the rule.. • • »... _ - Many out-of-towners are Included- ainong the broadcast audiences. .Not only are ther^those who obtain their own tickets, but also many whose tickets have been obtained for them by New Yorkers. It is a thrifty way to entertain guests, as the tickets cost nothing.. Also the visitors get a kick out of seeing in the flesh those whom they hear at their own firesides. Not infrequently, stage stars appear on the .programs and. thus, there is double re turn for the time expended. One out- of-towner on a recent evening, saw and heard stars, who; if seen from a theater seat, would have necessitated an expenditure, of about $20 at box office prices.' On occasions, stage stars are to be seen in the audi ences. • • • Autograph collectors find .the studios excellent hunting grounds. As a rule, the stars are ready to sign as many cards as possible. Ed Wynn Is the most accommodating of all. He usual ly doesn’t get out of the studio for more than an hour after his broadcast Rudy Vallee sneaks away by means of some unwatched elevator.
