...thin thread of continuity that runs through Hold On to Your Hats is spun of the same stuff that has gone into most theatrical satires on radio. A timid aerial star known as the Lone Rider is enticed to a Western dude ranch, confronted with real bandits who scare the chaps off him until just before the finale, when he gets the drop on them all. Jaunty at 54, still tops at putting over a song or a story, Jolson gallops triumphantly through the part of the Lone Rider, accompanied by a whole rodeo of able talent...
...center scrap continues to be an interesting one, with John Page and "Lone Star" Dietz shunting off letterman Burgy Ayres to the "B" team for the present. Dietz and George Duane, an end, were the last men to be elevated to the exclusive red jersey squad, bringing its total up to 20. Dick Harlow is having plenty of trouble selecting an additional 14 players and will have to postpone promotions as long...
...hulls, painted out the names (but not the U. S. Navy numerals) of other ships of the same class. Hustled aboard were oil for an Atlantic crossing, reportedly full stores of 21-inch (British-size) torpedoes for the twelve tubes, shells for the four 4-inch guns and lone, outmoded antiaircraft gun which each destroyer carried.

But the Navy did not think about the Departed 50 in terms of replacement. They came, the Navy reckoned, from surplus. Lone grumblers last week were officers whose chances of getting commands were temporarily diminished. Seniors in Washington figured the Navy could spare 25 more destroyers of the old vintage without causing any serious shortage...
Smallest sect reporting was the Friends (Primitive), whose lone congregation had 14 members. Most remarkable sect: the Two -Seed -in -the -Spirit Predestinarian Baptists (16 churches, 201 members), who believe that Adam & Eve were infused with a "good seed" from God, that Eve received a "bad seed" from Satan. Since everyone is born of either a good seed or a bad seed, and nothing can be done about it, this church does no gospel preaching, no missionary work...
