Wired Music Joins Campaign
SAN FRANCISCO-The wired music
stations in 48 counties of northern Cali-
fornia have joined the "Serve in Silence"
campaign and are now using spot announce-
ments which are repeatedly given through-
out the day in the various locations in
which the units are stationed.
The first group of spots totals 25 and was
prepared for the wired music operators by
Sidney Mackin, Managing Director of the
Amusement Merchants Association, Inc_
"Think before you speak . . . the enemy
is listening . . . serve in silence." "Your
keeping quiet will keep our ships afloat."
"You will save lives by keeping quiet . . .
do not reveal military information," and
"To win the war serve in silence and report
those who don't" are typical of the 25 an-
nouncements used in the initial trials.
This is the first undertaking of its kind
and the sponsors are hopeful that it will be
developed on a national soale. Dissemina-
tion of this type of propaganda through the
wired music services should prove most ef-
fective as the station outlets are located
mostly in bars and taverns where loose talk
is most apt to be prolific.

Wingy Didn't Know
LOS ANGELES-When Wingy Man-
none appeared in Universal's "Juke Box
Girl" he didn't know he was doing it. In
fact Wingy didn't know what the title of
the picture was when he led his group of
musicians through Universal's gates and
banged out a couple of tunes; and further-
more Wingy didn't know that it was a pic-
ture that might paint the Phonograph In-
dustry in a scurrilous light.
All of these admissions came to light
this week when a REVIEW reporter
tracked down Maimone in Hollywood and
plied him with a few direct questions.
"Hell no," declared Mannone. " I'd be a
sap to appear in anything that would put
me in dutch with the fellows that have
helped put my records over big with the
public. When I found out the type of pic-

-----Sorry!-----
In the report of the activities of the Cali-
'fornia Music Operators Association on page
15 of our April issue it was stated President
George A. Miller's address was broadcast
over the wired music units in the East Bay
district. This was in error. The copy should
have read that President Roosevelt's last
address was broadcast over the wired music
units of the Alli'ed Amusement Co., taken
directly from the air and broadcast into
the various wired music locations.

sible to get my part clipped but the studio
turned deaf ears to my prop.osals."

I'm proving it to him."
