From the Toledo News, Aug 20, 1930, the column titled
"This and That From the Radio World"
"A Column of Little Things of Interest That Have To Do With Broadcasting"
by Ted Magee.
In my previous posting I cited Lennie and Arthur as two pianists in the Camel Pleasure Hour. The column gives fascinating information about these two outstanding pianists.
***************************************
After each weekly broadcast of the Camel Pleasure Hour, the sponsors of the program receive numerous letters about the two-piano team that is one of the features of the hour.
Not long ago Leonard Hayton and Arthur Schutt were two young music students a New York University. [Really? I don't think so. AH] They did not know each other but after being thoroughly grounded in the musical classics, each separately took up the piano. Their individual playing won them positions with Paul Whiteman, Roger Kahn [no Wolfe. AH] and other famous leaders.
Just before the launching of the Camel Pleasure Hour this year, the two young pianists met [Arthur was 27 and Lennie was 22. AH] and shortly after were signed as a piano duo. Since their first performance in the Camel Pleasure Hour they have built up a reputation as one of the best teams on the air.
Hayton ans Schutt's next performance with the Camel Pleasure Hour will be Wednesday evening at 8:30from WJR and associated NBC stations. Mary McCoy and Bily Hughes, Reinald Werrenrath, Willard Robison, the Camel Quartet and Glee Club will be on the prgram.

Arthur and Lennie played Bix's "Candlelights" in the Camel Pleasure Hour broadcast of September 3, 1930, four days after Bix copyrighted his piano composition.
