After Dark
Embassy Room Becomes Studio
When Welk Music Is Aired
By Horry MacArthur
Tomorrow night you will have
an opportunity—probably the last
one for some time—to see the
Statler Embassy Room turned
into the originating studio for a
network radio program. It will be
the second ABC-WMAL broad
cast from Washington of Law
rence Welk’s “Champagne Music”
under the sponsorship of a Mil
waukee brewer.
It also will be the second time
in Embassy Room history—if to
morrow is like last Wednes
day — that some one has sprung
to buy the house a drink. Nobody
says anything about naming your
own poison, however, so you will
either greet or recoil from that
brew Mr. Welk is selling.
It is quite a show that takes
place in the Embassy Room when
Mr. Welk goes on the air for dear
old suds. In fact, any major
broadcast is a show you have to
see to believe. If you never be
came interested enough in radio
to wangle your way into a studio
audience, you probably won’t be
lieve it even when you see it.
You can be part tomorrow night

There are few funnier sights

the charm and waving their arms

They laugned when Mr. Welk
sat down at Music Corp. of Amer
ice and proposed this program.
They laugh at very few things
around MCA, too, if there is a
10 per cent commission indicated
anywhere. Mr. Welk, though, had
considered it brilliant when one of
his musicians, a man who had
been with him 21 years, suggested
that there ought to be some tieup
between the “Champagne Music”
of Lawrence Welk and “The
Champagne of Beers.”
He still thought it was a good
idea after the MCA boys told him
firmly that it would be impossible
to sell an orchestra any more for
a commercial radio program. (Ya
gotta yuk it up.) So Mr. Welk
tried another attack, a frontal one
on,the brewer himself.
His reception here was far more
favorable than, say, the one re
ceived by that man who rushed
in to the advertising manager of
Macy’s in New York shortly after
the Dionne Quintuplets were born.
“I got a million-dollar advertis
ing idea for you,” he said. “Listen:
Marie, Annette, Cecile, Yvonne
and ...”
“And what?” said the advertis
ing manager as the man slunk
out.
Mr. Welk was not rebuffed, his
idea was better than that one and
he had the indisputable aid of an
accent that has faint touches of
brew-master about it. In three
months he had the program sold
and went back to MCA to report.
They didn’t laugh this time: just
refused to believe him. He didn’t
care. He had ’em.

Artini and Consuelo were cele

Congo Room the other eve and
you know what they were doing.
Dancing to the Ramon Ramos

doing. Doing the best tango in
the room, too. . . . Singer Betty
Madigan was a rapt Embassy

“Champagne Music” broadcast.
"Excitirtg” was what she found
it. If you know what a singer who
is on WTTG television every night
finds exciting about watching a
radio broadcast, you tell us.

There was Plenty for A.ll
...only when men were Free to work for Themselves!
Did you know
that the Pilgrims
nearly starved to
death ? That they suffered hun
ger for two long years, with
never enough food in the Col
ony’s storehouse?
Have you heard how the Gov
ernor and his councilors had
complete control of the land
and what people produced?
How they tried to route the
Colonists to raise more grain; and how they
found a way that worked?
During their first year, food was scarce. Even
after the 1621 harvest was gathered, the daily
ration was only about a quarter of a pound of
bread for each persori.
In the spring of 1622, the Colonists complained
they were too weak to work raising food. Al
though they were, on the whole, deeply religious,
some were so hungry that they stole food from
their starving fellow-workers.
Young men complained because they had to
work hard to feed other men and their wives and
children. Strong men who were heads of fami
lies griped. They said that even though they put
in long hours and raised good crops, they and
their children received no more food or clothes
than men who were unable or unwilling to put
in more than a few hours’ work a day.
Women rebelled when ordered to cook for men
not their husbands, or when requested to wash
their clothes. And what about the husbands of
women who had been set at these jobs? Their
wives, they growled, were little better than slaves,
and many men declared they wouldn’t permit
their women-folk to do that kind of work.
After months of bitter complaints, the Governor
and chief men of the Colony came to the con
clusion that they were making a bad mistake. As
Governor Bradford said, they had thought they
were “wiser than God.”
And so, in 1623, they turned away from gov
ernment dictation and gave each family a parcel
of land for its own use.
* *•
Then what a change took place! Even the women
went into the fields willingly, taking their chil
dren along with them. All — men, women and
children — planted as much corn as they felt
they could possibly work.
People who had formerly complained that they
were too weak to dig or hoe, declaring that it was
tyranny to make them undertake field work,
gladly undertook to plant and cultivate for
themselves.
And when the harvest was gathered, instead of
famine they had plenty. And so they all gave
thanks to God. And what a Thanksgiving they
celebrated!
No wonder they gave up for all time their shar
ing of poverty . . . their belief that it was good
for all to suffer scarcity together. They found
that it is better for each man to work for himself
to produce plenty, because that benefits everyone.
