Cultural References in "the World of Tomorrow"

[O. Bordier]

Hello !

 

Could somebody please help me with the following references in bill Walsh
and Floyd Gottfredson's "The World of Tomorrow"?

They appear in the strip of  August 19, 19, depicting the school of  the
future.

 

"Tyrone Pyrone" must be Tyrone Powell,

and "Benny Betterman" is obviously "Benny Goodman", 

but who are "Lenore Grable" and "Will Bill Hamm"?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Olivier
