ARA Records Popular
HOLLYWOOD- Th e popularity and ac·
ceptance of ARA r ecords has spread like
wildfire across th e nation and th e local
pl ant has been hard pressed to kee p up
with th e tremendous a nd unprecedented
demand fo r thi s new label f rom Hollywood
which bids fair to becoming one of th e
" Big Four- or Five" in the very near
futu re.
Frances Langford has just fini shed her
second recording session for ARA records,
doin g 4 sides. Numb ers are David Rose's
"Our Waltz," "You Belon g to My Heart"
from the Walt Disney " Three Caballeros"
fi lm, "Close As P ages in a Book", a Rom·
berg tune from th e New York stage hit
"Up In Central P ark," and Cole Porter's
" Every Time We Say Goodbye."
Smiley Burnette, top reignin g cowboy
favo rite of Republic studios has also reo
corded for ARA, as has Hoagy Carmi chael
for hi s second session.
Jan Garber and his orchestra have joi'ned
th e ARA roster of recordin g stars and first
releases will be "My Baby Said Yes" and
"Go nna Build a Big F ence Around Texas."
Lou Costello, of Abbott arid Costello, is
anoth er new ARA artist and will soon be
heard on his recording of "I'm a' Ba d
Boy," Boog ie Woogie number.
ARA is increasin g . its production acti'v·
ities and is installing a mill to grind its
own record stock on th e Coast. Borris
Morros, head of th e fi rm, is in New York
negoti atin g for in creased produ ction in the
Eas t.
Shelby York , salesmanager of ARA , re-
ports terrific sales in all parts of the coun-
try on the initial releases. York is well
known in th e Coin Machin e fi eld and has
had an emb arrassin g few weeks trying to
take care of his many fri ends who appealed
fo r qu antities of r ecords on th e basis of
old fri'endships. Every effort is being made
to prope rly apportion th e records so th at
all operators will receive just shares of
those availabl e.
