Allen is the first entertainer that WHAS has announced as a headliner for its 16 1 /2-hour telethon to benefit mentally and physically handicapped children in the Kentuckiana area. As in the past nine years, the Crusade will run from 10 p.m. Saturday (September 21) through 2:30 p.m. Sunday, carried simultaneously on WHAS radio and television. Allen is one of the "old-time" brass men who took the jazz traditions of New Orleans into the rest of the country during the 1920's and 1930's. He learned the trumpet from his father, a brass-band leader, and marched with his father's band while still in short pants. He played with bands headed by George Lewis, Eddie Jackson, Fats Pichon, Fate Marable, and Joe "King" Oliver. Jazz historian Dom Cerulli writes: "During the 1930's, while Oliver's star declined, Allen's rose continuously. His style was lyrical and not bound so strictly to the beat. He forged a style of his own which was unlike that of Louis Armstrong, and which was reflected in the later works of such stalwarts as Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie. "He still plays a personal, fiercely blue trumpet … and, while his vehicles are the standards of Dixieland, his trumpet work in the frames of these tunes is rarely bounded by the usual rules governing improvisation in this area." Last year's Crusade For Children raised a record-breaking $256,649, of which $242,231 was available for grants to handicapped-children's agencies in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The money contributed in Indiana goes back to agencies in that state, and contributions in Kentucky remain for Kentucky agencies cont.:
continue from last page: Expenses for the 1962 Crusade were kept to a record low of $17,555, or 6.8 percent of funds collected. Of the 45 grants made from the 1962 funds, seven totaling $37,458 went to Hoosier organizations, while $199.499 was divided among 38 Kentucky groups. Allocations of the Crusade funds are made by members of the panel of the WHAS radio show "The Moral Side of The News"-Rabbi J. J. Gittleman, Temple Adath Jeshurun; Dr. Duke K. McCall, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary: the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Felix N. Pitt. executive secretary of the Catholic School Board, and Dr. Paul Stauffer, First - 109.2 - Red Allen Ork. On Crusade THE LOUISVILLE DEFENDER Thu.9/5/63 with the same photo as on the above article Henry "Red" Allen - one of the jazz immortals - is destined to be one of this year's top attractions. He plays his trumpet in a style that is at the same time dynamic and forceful while lyrical and to not bound strictly to the beat. He plays the jazz and Dixieland that is fast beco-ming hard to come by and is often described as "precious" and "rare". Two singing groups have been announced. The 45 voice Thorobred Chorus, 1962 International Barbershop Champions and the Motet Singers, one of the top choral organizations in the South. This will be the seventh Crusade for the Motet Singers.

As the tenth WHAS Crusade For Children approaches, this fact is clearly demonstrated by infants, handicapped at birth, who have grown to a normal, healthy childhood through the help of Crusade funds; by dreams that have materialized into clinics and hospitals for handicapped children in this span of time; and by a re-education of thousands who held misconceptions about the mentally sick. Ten years is a long time, but a lot has been done in these years. TV in the Blue Grass At 10 p. m. on Sat., Sept.21, (11), the curtain in Louisville's giant Memorial Auditorium will rise on the 1983 "WHAS Crusade For Children." For 16 1/2 hours national and local stars, technicians, musicians, and literally hundreds of volunteer workers from every walk of life will do their dead level best to raise cold, hard cash for the handicapped children of Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Henry"Red"Allen June Valli . The star line up this year reads like a major television network special. First of the national stars announced by Crusade officials was jazz trumpetplaying immortal Henry "Red" Allen. The only nationally known act to return to the Crusade static will be Homer and Jethro, the "oooh that's corny" duo. The corn pone wit of Henry (Homer) Doyle and Kenneth (Jethro) Burns is now legendary. Randy Atcher Johnny Johnston
