Last week after long dickering another air season was fairly well lined up. Again Radio, which has made strange bedfellows before, had brought about marvelous combinations of performers and products. Prize combination for this season is a famed oldtime children's laxative, brown and syrupy, and the foremost U. S. violinist, artistic to his fingertips. The violinist is Albert Spalding, the laxative Fletcher's Castoria. These two got together because two years ago Castoria...
