HOUSTON (RC)-More than 40 music
operators enjoyed a chicken supper and
social meeting on the evening of May 20th
at Southern Select Beer warehouse in Hous·
ton. Operators Sam Ayo, Lester Hearn, AI·
bert Reese paid for all the eats and drinks.
Galveston·Houston Breweries, as usual, fur·
nished the hall free and sold and prepared
all the drinks and eats at actual cost.
Several problems concerning the war and
phonograph operating were discussed in·
formally. General opinion now is that music
operators will fare as well, if not better,
than most other small business men.
An automatic phonograph had a part in
recruiting the famous "Admiral Nimitz
Unit" which was recently sworn into the
U. S. Navy. Chief Yoeman J. A. Potts of

BOB CHESTER
Houston Naval recrUItmg office had the
idea for recruiting an Admiral Nimitz unit
from the hills country section in Texas
where the present Pacific Fleet Commander
was born and spent his boyhood days.
The recruiting officers with an automatic
phonograph traveled in a stati'on wagon and
held rallies in several towns. 208 recruits
were accepted in 30 days. The phonograph ·
furnished music for dancing that followed
each rally.
Rallies were held in Fredericksburg,
Kerrville, New Braunfels, Boerne, Bandera,
Junction, San Marcos. Admiral Nimitz was
born at Fredericksburg and later his family
moved to Kerrville where he lived until
appointed to the United States Naval
Academy.

Unknown Gets "Break"
NEW YOItK.-One gentleman along Tin
Pan Alley who is famous for giving "un·
known" songwri ters their first "break",
is Joe Davis. When no other publisher
would pay any attention to them or show
them enough courtesy to listen to their
compositions, Joe Davis would always find
time to talk with the "unknown" and offer
him suggestions and encouragement. In
that way, he discovered and started on
their way to fame such now well·known
composers as Freddie Grofs, Harold Arlen,
Victor Arden, Fletcher Henderson, Reg·
inald Foresythe, Rube Bloom and innum·
erable others.
Today, in his new enterprise as head
of Beacon Records, Joe Davis hopes to
again act as the discoverer of new and
deserving recording talent. Joe, in coop·
eration with radio stations throughout the
country, will hold polls in which the public
will be asked to suggest the names of
singers, orchestras, and other entertainers,
who they feel are deserving of a record·
ing contract, but who have never made any
records to date. Joe will audition all the
talent brought to his atten tion in this man·
ner, and those who he believes have re·
cording talent will be given contracts to
record for his Beacon Records.
Davis' first Beacon Recording of "This
Will Be A Lonesome Summer", coupled
with "Indiana Blues", and sung by CBS
singer, Jerry Wayne, is a best·seller and a
music·box favorite. Incidentally, this marks
the recording debut of Jerry Wayne, a sin·
ger who Joe Davis feels has a very
bright future.
