RICH LITTLE POOR BOY:
Bob Chester Prefers Bus Rides,
One-Nighters to Life of Luxury

By PHYLLIS PRESENT
Scoin of one of America's wealthi-'
est families, Bob Chester will bring
his "rhythms of tomorrow" orchestraI
to play for the Army-Navy Ball, to
be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday,
Jan. 22, at the Sports Building.
Bob, whose step-father is Albert
Fisher, of Detroit, has preferred one-
nighters, hotel stops and bus rides,
to the life of ease to which he could
have been entitled. While attending
University of Dayton, Chester first
became interested in the masters of
modern music. Upon graduation, he
struck out on his own, and landed a
job with Paul Specht's band. While
playing with various other radio and
recording orchestras, Bob's saxo-
phone playing came to be considered
among the best in the country.
Baseball 'Giant'
In 1935, after assembling a crew of
unknown musicians, Chester, as band
leader, received his first booking at
the Detroit Athletic Club and stayed
there eight months. From then on
the climb to fame was easy for the
leader, who may be described aptly
as "six feet two, with eyes of blue."
Chester's talents don't end with
music by any means. Star baseball
player while in college, he nearly
chose the diamond career in prefer-
ence to the one of swinging his tenor
saxophone. One of baseball's greatest
declared that, "Chester had enough
speed and-steam to give trouble to
the heaviest hitters in the majors."
Having made his choice, however,

BOB CHESTER

he devotes all his time to giving his
show that added "punch," and he has
an unusual reputation as a showman.
Chester's pet peeve is the fact that
nobody outside his band ever sings
the voc'als of his tunes. One number,
"The Octave Jump," sold close to
100,000 records this past year, and
boasts a full set of lyrics, which no-
body ever sings.
Betty Bradley to Sing
Helping to spread his popularity
has been his broadcasting over all the
major networks. Gene Howard and
charming Betty Bradley are featured
on the vocals and will be with the
band at the annual Ball.
