"Who Tickled the Ivories?" is a mystery story in which three Hamilton High School girls—Marion Stevens, Gertrude Van Buren, and Verna Leatherman—are selected by Miss Dempsey to volunteer at the City Orphan Home playing piano for children's singing and music appreciation lessons, with the challenge being to determine which girl is best suited for the work. "The Story of Dick Haymes" is a biographical feature about the famous singer's early career struggles, including his work as a songwriter and vocalist who was rejected by band leaders before eventually becoming one of the nation's top vocalists.
Meet Edith Landesman, a high school student turned secretary to singer Perry Como who juggles her devotion to radio and theater with the real work of keeping a star's life organized. This 1947 biography follows how Edith's early love of entertainment—waiting in line for broadcast tickets and helping fellow performers with fan mail—led her to the job of her dreams, where she handles everything from scheduling and publicity to buying socks and babysitting for the Como household. Her genuine warmth and understanding of Como's teenage fanbase have made her indispensable to one of radio's biggest names.
Dick Haymes dreamed of composing and leading a band, but when his commanding voice caught the ear of bandleaders like Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, fate had other plans—he became one of the nation's top vocalists instead. This true biography follows the South American-born singer's journey from reluctant crooner to Hollywood star, showing how a young man's ambitions were reshaped by the talent nobody around him could ignore.
