Short story:

A report in The Optimist newspaper of Abilene, Texas, USA, states that a survey conducted among girls at Zellner Hall (a local Christian educational establishment) has revealed that "the girls in love prefer the popular tenor Gene Austin", whereas girls with romantic woes prefer Art Gillham - The Whispering Pianist. The girls' favourite crooner is Nick Lucas and their favourite bandleader is Ted Lewis. The feature also reports that "Nearly every afternoon and night, one or more of the sixteen portables in the hall can be heard grinding out the popular tunes of the day."
