“cowboys,” looking completely out
<of place in the usual Vine St. clus-
ter of song-pluggers across from
NBC . . . The music boys, the
town’s fanciest
dressers, made the
westerners in their
levis, boots and
shirts look like
bums . . . and also
made a wit say:
...... "There’s a picture
f for you. The song
pluggers wearing
$300 suits and with
nothing in their
pockets and the
cowboys wearing
nothing and with $300,000 in each
pocket!”

Hollywood the right to : smile at
New York and its newly-found abil-

spective noses at westerns, now
have seen the light . . . Best ex-

the rest of the country in purchases

half-hour dream . . . Tex is a big
-star in Hollywood NBC studios.

•and Gordon MacRae team up with
-a tantalizing ~pair, ‘^Drifting Down
the Dreamy OI’ Ohio”-and “Where
Are You Gonna Be When the Moan
*Shhies.” And getting back to Tex
Williams, he has a good disc in
“Great Big NecrUe” with “Bir-
mingham Bounce” riding on the
'Hip.
