against  than  suing.  Take  the  case  of  the  royal  prince  who 
was  said  to  be  a  Russian  spy.  Maybe  you'll  recognize  the 
name.  Prince  Matchabelli.   He's  famous  for  his  perfumes. 

Walter  Winchell  was  the  lad  who  put  his  foot  into  it 
that  time.  Most  people  think  that  Walter  is  careful  to 
stay  within  the  law  and  he  has  never  been  sued.  And 
in  a  way  they're  right,  for  he  has  been  sued  only  once 
for  an  item  published  in  his  column.  And  the  only  time 
he  was  sued  for  anything  he  said  over  the  radio  was 
this  Matchabelli  case. 

THAT  turned  out  to  be  a  comedy  of  errors.  On  Xovem- 
■  ber  18,  1931,  the  Xeic  York  Mirror  published  a  story 
stating  that  Federal  agents  were  looking  into  the  activities 
of  Prince  Matchabelli.  It  further  said  that  the  Prince 
was  not  one  of  the  eight  native  princes  of  Georgia  in  the 
Caucasus,  and  that  he  was  suspected  of  being  an  agent 
of  the  Russian  secret  police. 

The  next  day  Walter  Winchell  mentioned  over  the  radio 
something  about  Prince  Matchabelli's  activities.  As  a 
result.  Prince  Georges  Matchabelli.  his  wife  Princess 
Norine,  and  the  Prince  Matchabelli  Perfumery  Company 
launched  suits  against  Walter  Winchell.  the  American 
Tobacco  Company,  his  sponsor,  and  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company.  Their  lawyer  claimed  that  Winchell 
had  called  the  Prince  one  of  the  world's  most  glamorous 


masqueraders,  a  self-styled  royalist  and  supreme  agent  of 
the  Russian  Cheka.  And  that  he  had  described  the  per- 
fume business  as  a  racket. 

The  lawyer  announced  that  an  investigation  was  being 
made  to  determine  how  many  people  had  heard  Winchell's 
broadcast.  When  he  found  out  he  said  he'd  demand  a 
dollar  a  head  for  each  listener.  This  scheme  proving 
slightlv  impractical,  he  decided  to  sue  instead  for  the 
nice,  flat  sum  of  $500,000. 

Here's  where  the  comedy  of  errors  came  in.  Walter 
Winchell  keeps  a  copy  of  every  speech  he  ever  makes 
over  the  radio.  He  proved  to  the  astonished  Prince  and 
the  astonished  Prince's  lawyer  that  he  had  defended,  not 
attacked.  Prince  Matchabelli  over  the  radio.  What  he  had 
said  was  that  he  didn't  believe  the  story  in  the  Mirror 
was  true,  because  Prince  Matchabelli  was  so  closely  related 
to  the  Czar's  family  in  Russia  that  it  was  impossible  for 
him  to  be  acting  as  a  spy.  When  Prince  Matchabelli  heard 
that,  he  settled  his  suit  with  the  Mirror  out  of  court  and 
dropped  the  suit  against  Walter  Winchell. 

NOT  all  lawsuits,  of  course,  end  so  happily  for  all  the 
parties  concerned.  Robert  Gordon  Duncan,  of  Port- 
land, Oregon,  had  a  habit  of  speaking  his  mind  over  the 
radio.  He  was  the  chap  who  called  one  man  a  "doggoned 
thieving,   lying,   plundering,    {Continued  on   page  80)

Irving  Berlin,  right,  writes  the  songs.  Frank 
Parker,  radio  tenor,  sings  them. 


WHY?   BECAUSE  HE  CAN- 


NOT FORGET  THE  GIRL 


WHO  LOVED  HIM  YET 


MARRIED  ANOTHER 


FRANK  PARKER  has  fooled  you !  Yes,  he  has. 
For  in  spite  of  his  matinee-idol  smile,  his  slum- 
brous eyes,  his  appealing  love  songs  which  are 
enough  to  make  any  girl  melt,  and  his  swash- 
buckling manner,  Frank  Parker  at  the  age  of 
twenty-seven  is  through  with  love! 

Now  wait  a  minute  before  you  accuse  this  handsome 
young  tenor  of  NBC's  Friday  night  General  Tire  program 
of  adopting  a  mock  cynicism  and  adolescent  bitterness.  I 
happen  to  know  that  Frank  really  means  it  when  he  says, 
"I  don't  believe  there  is  such  a  thing  as  real  love."  There's 
a  reason  for  it.  And  when  I  tell  you  the  whole  unhappy 
story  of  his  first  serious  encounter  with  love  and  its  dis- 
illusioned end,  you'll  understand  too. 

Unfortunately,  he  never  can  forget  the  girl.  She  is 
tied  up  with  his  singing — is  an  integral  part  of  his  career, 
in  fact.  For  you  see,  if  it  hadn't  been  for  her  there  would 
be  no  Frank  Parker,  radio  star,  for  he  never  wanted  to 
sing.    But  the  girl  changed  his  mind. 

It  seems  strange  to  think  that  he  should  ever  have  hated 
his  voice.  The  reason  for  it  dates  back  to  his  early 
childhood  days. 

Frank  was  born  of  a  large,  jovial  Italian  family  on  New 
York's  shabby  lower  east  side.    Life  was  a  bitter  struggle

for  the  brood,  and  early  in  life  all  the  little  Parkers  had 
to  find  some  way  to  earn  pennies  for  shoes.  It  was  the 
Sunday  school  teacher  who  first  discovered  that  Frank- 
could  sing,  and  placed  him  in  the  choir. 

The  sheer  beauty  and  clearness  of  his  voice  made  it 
stand  out  from  the  others. 

"Just  like  a  girl,"  gushed  one  enthusiastic  church  mem- 
ber. Frank  caught  the  sly  wink  of  one  of  his  fellow- 
choristers  and  he  knew  he  was  in  for  it.  That  evening 
when  he  left  the  church,  a  pack  of  young  rowdies  was 
waiting  outside,  grinning,  for  him. 

"Sissy"  .  .  .  "Sissy!"  .  .  .  "Sings  like  a  gir-rul,"  they 
jeered. 

HE  rushed  home,  red  and  miserable. 
"I'm  not  going  to  sing  any  more,"  he  announced 
hotly  to  the  family  that  night.    "I  hate  it!" 

All  the  coaxing  in  the  world  couldn't  make  him  change 
his  mind.  You  know  how  a  childhood  jibe  will  nestle  in 
the  memory  and  assume  exaggerated  proportions.  So  it 
was  with  Frank.  The  cruel,  childish  taunts  of  his  play- 
mates had  struck  deep.  Bang!  went  all  plans  for  his 
singing  career. 

Somewhere  in  his  makeup  there  must  have  been  a  dash

of  Bohemian.  You  can  guess  it  from  his  happy-go-lucky 
manner.  At  any  rate,  Frank  hung  around  New  York's 
colorful  Greenwich  Village,  melting  pot  of  artists  and  un- 
conventionals.  Soon  the  stage  bug  hit  him.  It  just  had 
to  happen.  He  got  a  job  as  chorus  man  in  the  "Greenwich 
Village  Follies."  But  no  singing,  mind  you.  That  was 
still  a  sore  spot  with  him. 

CRANK  promptly  fell  in  love  with  the  young  prima 
I  donna  of  the  show.  He  never  expected  anything  to 
come  of  it  for  he  was  just  one  of  the  boys  who  served  as 
a  background  while  she  stood  in  the  center  of  the  stage 
bathed  in  a  flood  of  lights.  But  he  made  up  his  mind 
that  he  was  going  to  walk  right  over  to  her  some  day  and 
ask  her  out  to  dinner. 

There's  something  about  Frank  that  makes  him  almost 
irresistible  to  women.  Perhaps  it's  because  of  his  lithe, 
young  build.  Because  of  his  boyish,  handsome  features. 
Because  of  his  charming,  irresponsible  nature.  His  curly 
hair  never  lies  so  flat  that  a  woman  couldn't  smooth  it 
down.  His  tie  never  lies  so  perfectly  that  a  woman  couldn't 
fuss  with  it.  I  tell  you  all  of  this  so  that  you  may  under- 
stand how  perfectly  natural  it  was  for  the  star  of  the 
show  to  throw  all  pride  to  the  winds  and  accept  an  invita- 


tion to  dinner  from  this  chorus  boy. 


FRANK  discovered  that  this  leading  lady  wasn't  a 
haughty,  temperamental  star.  She  was  only  a  year 
or  two  older  than  he,  but  her  driving  ambition  had  already 
sailed  her  to  the  top.  She  was  all  wrapped  up  in  her 
work,  and  as  she  spoke  about  the  stage  and  about  singing, 
her  eyes  sparkled  with  animation.  Frank  had  never  come 
across  a  girl  like  her.  When  he  left  her  that  evening  his 
heart  was  as  light  as  a  balloon.  He  was  in  love.  And 
how  he  was  in  love ! 

Life  suddenly  was  different — dinner  every  night  with 
her.  They  talked  endlessly  of  careers.  Then  one  day  he 
poured  out  the  story  of  the  childish  humiliation  that  had 
made  him  detest  his  voice. 

"I  knew  you  could  sing,"  shi  breathed.  "I'm  sure  you're 
a  fine  singer.    Go  back  to  it." 

After  the  show,  she  would  sit  down  at  the  piano  and 
Frank  stood  beside  her.  his  lyric  tenor  soaring  lightly  and 
vibrantly  to  the  dustiest  corners  of  the  theatre.  They 
were  two  dark  shadows  on  the  dimly-lit  stage,  all  alone. 
Frank's  career,  his  whole  future  was  in  the  making.  He 
was  going  to  be  a  singer.    She  was  seeing  to  that. 

"Wouldn't  it  be.  wonderful  if  (Continued  on  page  77)

Two  years  ago  a  red-faced  infant  named  RADIO  STARS 
Magazine  was  born.  Twenty-four  tempestuous  months  ago 
we  pinned  up  our  editorial  diapers,  took  off  our  baby  bonnet, 
and  tossed  it  into  the  ring. 

That  ring,  by  the  way,  was  empty  until  we  entered  it.  Radio's 
thunderbolts  had  circled  the  globe  and  its  voice  had  reached 
the  poles,  but  no  magazines  had  been  born  to  paint  for  listeners 
the  picture  behind  broadcasting.    Then  we  came  along. 

And  look  what  happened! 

From  where  we  sit,  we  can  see  radio  magazines  to  the  right 
of  us  and  radio  magazines  to  the  left  of  us  .*.  .  but  we  cannot 
see  any  radio  magazines  ahead  of  us.  Which  is  an  un  subtle 
way  of  saying  there  isn't  any  radio  magazine  ahead  of  RADIO 
STARS. 

For  two  years  we  have  watched  and  reported  the  shennani- 
gans  of  broadcastland.  We've  seen  Radio  City  built  and 
heard  Byrd  at  the  South  Pole  and  listened  to  the  musical  sur- 
render of  the  snooty  Metropolitan  Opera  and  Leopold 
Stolcowslci  to  the  lure  of  cigarette  money.  We  have  dialed 
President  Roosevelt  in  and  Chancellor  Hitler  out  and  Singin' 
Sam  under.    And  we  have  called  it  progress. 

Now,  at  the  end  of  our  two-year  parade  down  Radio  Row, 
we  find  it  more  fascinating  than  ever.  Behind  each  mike  there 
lurks  an  unsuspected  drama.  For  every  baton  that  beats  the 
tempo  of  our  marching  months  there  is  a  tale  of  heartbreak 
or  hunger  or  triumph. 

With  finer  pictures  and  brighter  news  and  more  abundant 
servings  of  the  glamor  that  enwraps  this  great  business  of 
broadcasting,  we  stride  into  our  Year  0003.  It  is  our  sincere 
wish  that  we  may  be  of  service  to  the  hosts  of  folk  who  are 
radio's  friends  and  listeners.  And  who,  we  hope,  will  become 
our  friends  and  readers.

LNCLK  Ted's  favorite  niece  has  grown  into  a  re- 
markable woman.  Probably  the  hardest  working 
woman  in  America  today.  And  one  of  the  most  in- 
telligent and  most  human.  Certainly,  one  of  the  most 
loveable.  If  you  don't  like  her — you  just  don't  know  her. 
We  are  discussing,  as  you  have  guessed.  Anna  Eleanor 
Roosevelt,  whose  father  was  Theodore  Roosevelt's  bro- 
ther; whose  husband  is  the  President. 

The  first  Roosevelt  to  live  in  the  White  House  was 
"Teddy"  and  he  got  himself  the  name,  "trust  buster." 
Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt  will  go  down  in  history  as 
the  "depression  buster."  And  his  wife,  a  Roosevelt  by 
blood  and  by  marriage,  will  be  remembered  among  First 
Ladies  as  the  "precedent  buster."  In  her  desire  to  help 
the  President  and  live  a  simple,  unpretentious  life  with- 
out frills  or  flu-flu,  she  has  cut  the  red-tape  formalities 
and  gone  her  own  plain,  hard-working  way. 

Her  way  has  shocked  the  moss-heads  and  the  hard- 
shells,  the  folk  who  think  that  a  President's  wife  is  a 
piece  of  Dresden  china,  or  at  best  a  sweet  old  gal  whose 
business  it  is  to  stay  at  home  thinking  sweet,  old  fashioned 
thoughts  and  pouring  pale  tea  for  pompous  diplomats. 
But  there's  red  blood  in  them  thar  Roosevelts.  She  re- 
fused to  sit  around  and  be  a  glorified  White  House  doll. 

This  she  made  clear  to  everybody  when  shortly  after 
the  inauguration  she  piled  into  her  blue  roadster — alone ! 
She  shooed  away  the  guards.  They  retreated  to  her  New 
York  residence.   She  shooed  them  from  that  place,  too.

PRESIDENT 


Wide  World 


The  First  Lady  was  the  principal  speaker 
at  a  conference  in  the  City  of  New 
York,    held   at   the    Hotel  Roosevelt. 

She  neither  wanted  nor  liked  the  idea  of  armed  protec- 
tors, so  she  dispensed  with  them.  Simply,  without  emotion, 
regardless  of  precedent.  And  that — was  the  beginning. 

Washington  shuddered  when  she  climbed  into  an  air- 
plane. A  President's  wife  in  an  airplane,  my,  my!  She 
not  only  rode  in  them,  but  insisted  on  paying  her  fare, 
every  time,  the  same  as  any  other  passenger.  When  the 
line  held  up  a  plane  for  her,  when  she  was  late  in  arriv- 
ing at  the  field,  she  almost  wept  with  gratitude.  She  didn't 
and  doesn't  realize  the  privileges  that  go  with  being  a 
President's  wife.  One  trip  took  her  as  far  as  Porto  Rico, 
another  to  California.  Altogether  she  has  flown  more 
than  14,000  miles.  Of  course  she  rides  in  trains,  too.  She 
is  always  going  somewhere,  to  a  definite  destination  on 
a  definite  mission.  In  fact  she  travels  so  much  that  Emma 
Bugbee,  the  Washington  correspondent,  has  called  her 
America's  most  traveled  woman.  In  the  year  and  a  half 
as  First  Lady  she  has  clocked  by  train,  plane  and  motor 
w  ell  over  60.000  miles. 

ADD  to  that  please,  a  few  thousand  miles  on  foot.  In 
New  York  she  goes  about  shopping  and  attending 
meetings  of  the  various  organizations  in  which  she  is 
interested,  without  conveyance  of  any  kind.  Visiting  her 
friend  Nancy  Cook  in  Massena,  New  York,  not  long  ago, 
she  was  seen  frequently  on  the  street  laden  with  paper 
bags  from  which  groceries  peeped.  And  taxi  drivers  in 
New  York  have  gotten  over  the  excitement  of  being

hailed  by  the  President's  wife,  its  such  a  usual  occurrence. 

Where  and  why  has  she  traveled  so  much,  you  ask,  not 
without  irritation  ?  She  has  gone  down  to  West  Virginia 
to  the  coal  mines  and  into  the  villages  that  surround  them, 
to  Warm  Springs,  to  Albany,  to  the  Virgin  Islands,  to 
conferences  here,  there  and  everywhere.  To  flower  shows 
and  dog  shows  and  ship  launchings  and  banquets.  Why? 
Because  she  is  interested.  Long  before  F.  D.  came  to  the 
White  House  she  was  interested  in  a  score  of  organiza- 
tions and  their  ideas — educational,  peace,  social  welfare, 
cultural  groups  and  she  sees  no  reason  to  quit  her  wbrk 
now,  simply  because  the  family  has  moved  to  Washington. 

Just  to  give  you  an  example :  Eight  or  nine  years  ago, 
she  and  a  couple  of  friends  had  ideas  about  how  kids 
should  be  educated.  Instead  of  talking,  they  went  out  and 
bought  the  Todhunter  School,  a  fashionable  school  at- 
tended by  children  of  the  upper  middle-class.  Mrs. 
Roosevelt  at  once  put  these  infants  of  the  rich  over  the 
jumps  and  showed  them  that  life  wasn't  all  satin.  She 
took  them  to  Ellis  Island  wiiere  the  immigrants  come  in, 
showed  them  a  prison,  a  magistrate's  court,  a  police  line- 
up— and  they  learned.  Up  to  the  day  before  the  elec- 
tion this  indefatigable  lady,  endowed  with  wealth  and 
social  position,  shuttled  back  and  forth  between  Albany 
and  the  school  in  New  York.  The  round  trip  alone  on 
the  train  takes  about  seven  hours  and,  without  compulsion 
or  publicity,  she  did  this  twice  every  week  for  almost 
eight  years.  The  school  goes  on  {Continued  on  page  °Q)

Every  so  often  a  stink  blows  through  my  loudspeaker  into  my 
parlor.  It  is  the  odor  that  comes  when  a  comedian  spins  an  off-color 
yarn.  It  is  the  odor  that  comes  when  a  singer  croons  the  vulgar 
words  of  certain  popular  tunes. 

Admittedly,  these  slips  are  not  the  fault  of  our  broadcasting  net- 
works. Both  the  NBC  and  CBS  do  their  utmost  to  guard  our  parlors 
from  filth.  Many,  many  times  they  have  been  criticized  for  banning 
certain  lines  and  certain  songs.  In  my  opinion,  they  deserve  our 
unreserved  thanks.  . 

Despite  their  vigilance,  some  performers  do  slip  over  forbidden 
gags.  It  is  so  easy.  You  are  standing  before  a  mike,  a  million  ears  or 
more  listening.  The  joke  that  shocks  gets  a  quick  laugh.  You  say  it 
before  anyone  can  stop  you.    It  is  a  temptation  too  great  for  some. 

Let  those  few  remember  this:  Radio  broadcasting  is  a  visitor  in 
our  parlors.  Sometimes  it  shares  our  bedroom,  or  travels  with  us  in 
our  cars.  We  cherish  those  visitors  only  who  have  the  good  taste  to 
consider  our  wishes.  We  like  our  visitors  least  when  they  forget  to  be 
ladies  or  gentlemen. 

Let's  keep  the  air  clean.

SHOULD  JOKES  BE  UNTAINTED?  SONG  LYRICS  CLEAN?  PLAYS 
TONED  DOWN?    SOME  FAMOUS  PEOPLE  GIVE  THEIR  VIEWS 


RAY  LYMAN  WILBUR.  President,  Lelond 
Stanford  University,  Former  Secretary  of  the  Interior, 
says: 

"When  a  child  picks  up  a  newspaper,  he  turns 
almost  at  once  to  the  funny  pages.  That  is  the  child- 
ren's place  in  the  newspaper.  But  except  at  certain 
hours  there  is  no  continuing  program  for  children  in 
radio. 

"Children  turn  the  dials  and  listen  to  adult  programs, 
much  in  the  same  way  as  they  listen  to  adult  conver- 
sation. Most  of  it  they  do  not  understand.  Words, 
sentences,  anecdotes  make  an  impression,  sometimes 
deep,  sometimes  an  influence  for  the  good,  often  for 
the  bad. 

"The  programs  now  being  given  children  are  not  all 
that  can  be  desired.  Educators  should  be  consulted  be- 
fore these  breath-taking  thrillers,  which  are  broadcast  for 
children,  are  permitted  to  go  out.  Considerable  fault 
has  been  found  with  them.  Inquiry  will  show  that 
they  are  quite  definitely  not  the  type  of  story  to  be  told 
to  children  before  their  bedtime,  because  they  produce 
uneasy  sleep. 

"Eventually,  however,  we  are  going  to  develop — by 
co-operation  between  educators  and  broadcasters — a  pro- 
gram of  high  quality  incapable  of  harming  the  most  deli- 
cate sensibility.  But  nothing  namby-pamby.  All  subjects 
will  have  their  hour.  They  simply  will  not  be  given  vul- 
garly. Parents,  health  and  educational  authorities  are  for 
this,  that  is  why  it  is  inevitable." 


JOHN  S.  SUMNER,   Execut;  ve  Secretary,  Society 

for  the  Suppression  of  Vice,  says: 

"I  listen  to  the  radio  a  great  deal  and,  by  and  large, 
I  find  very  little  to  find  fault  with.  The  radio  companies 
are  doing  a  pretty  good  job.  Occasionally,  there  is  vul- 
garity and  words  and  jokes  with  double-meanings  that 
are  heard,  but  these  form  so  minute  a  part  of  the  whole 
that  no  serious  objection  can  be  found. 

"Naturally,  this  Society  is  on  the  alert  for  any  tres- 
passing of  standards  of  morality  and  although  in  the  past 
we  have  found  much  to  criticize  in  the  movies  and  the 
stage  we  have  yet  to  find  any  serious  ground  for  criti- 
cism in  radio  programs." 

DR.  WILL  H.  HOUGHTON,  Pastor,  Calvary 
Baptist  Church,  New  York  City,  says: 

"The  radio,  like  a  newspaper,  must  take  account  of 
every  side  of  the  individual's  personality.  It  must  pro- 
vide entertainment,  information,  education  and  religion. 
And,  like  a  newspaper,  it  must  be  careful  to  keep  these 
things  on  a  high  plane — to  avoid  the  coarse,  the  sensa- 
tional, and  the  offensive. 

"This  is  a  day  of  air  conditioning,  when  mechanical 
processes  keep  the  air  pure.  Let  us  air  condition  radio, 
through  the  individual  responsibility  of  each  of  the  radio 
stations.  Together  with  the  school,  the  church  and  the 
home,  radio  is  now  influencing  the  character  of  youth.

It  is  partially  responsible  therefore  for  preserving  the 
idealism  of  youth  and  for  keeping  the  standards  of  youth 
high. 

"We  do  not  want  radio  censorship,  hut  we  do  want 
such  standards  in  radio  broadcasting  which  will  not  per- 
mit vulgarity,  obscenity  or  cheapness." 


DR.  JAMES  E.  WEST, 

Boy  Scouts  of  America,  says: 


Chief  Scout  Executive, 


"By  all  means,  the  air  must  he  kept  clean.  In  my 
judgment  there  is  a  marked  difference  between  lib- 
eralizing policies  to  permit  of  a  frank  expression 
of  opinion  from  responsible  sources  and  programs 
which  permit  vulgarity  and  salacious  and  suggestive 
material. 

"  The  records  of  the  responsible  broadcasting  companies 
have  been  on  the  whole  very  creditable,  but  I  have  had 
occasion  recently  to  express  concern,  because  of  sugges- 
tive material,  words  and  phrases  which  have  been  included 
in  broadcasts  by  some  of  the  so-called  outstanding  stars, 
who  I  am  afraid,  often  innocently,  have  taken  advantage 
of  their  popularity  and  assumed  privileges  because  their 
material  was  not  adequately  reviewed  and  supervised 
in  advance.  This,  in  my  judgment,  unnecessarily 
gives  offense  and  is  not  in  keeping  witli  the  high 
ideals  which  should  be  maintained  both  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  radio  audience,  as  well  as  the  radio  industry. 

"Please  record  me 
in  favor  of  a  policy, 
while  liberalized  to 
give  freedom  of 
expression  of  opin- 
ion  from  responsible 
sources,  but  safe- 
guarded to  avoid 
vulgarity  and  sala- 
cious and  suggestive 
material." 

DR.  GEORGE 
DREW 

EGBERT,  President 
of  the  Society  for  the 
Prevention  of  Crime, 
says: 

"To  hear  a  sound 
is  a  more  vivid  ex- 
perience than  to 
read  a  writing. 
While  one  does  not 
retain  the  details 
presented  to  the  lis- 
tener for  as  long  a 
period  as  those  pre- 
sented to  the  reader, 
the  first  impression 
of  the  former  goes 
infinitely  deeper  than  the  first  impression  of  the  latter. 

"For  this  reason  those  who  do  little  thinking  are 
more  impressed  by  a  radio  broadcast  than  they  are  by  a 
book.  Yet,  parents,  who  guard  with  utmost  care  the 
reading  of  children,  will  permit  them  to  make  continued 
and  unsupervised  use  of  the  radio.  There  is  danger  here. 
V ulgarisms  verging  on  the  indecent  are  slipped  into 
what  is  apparently  an  entirely  innocent  broadcast.  Free 
and  easy  comments  on  atrocious  crimes  lower  the  resis- 
tance of  youth  to  the  temptation  to  confuse  notoriety 
with  fame.    Keep  the  air  clean!"

BIRDS  ALL  OTIS  EDEY,  President,  Girl  Scouts, 
says: 

"Because  I  am  a  Girl  Scout,  I  think  continuously  in 
terms  of  teen-age  girls,  their  interests  and  entertainments. 
So,  naturally,  I  think  often  about  the  radio. 

"Whatever  comes  over  the  air,  goes  in  at  the  ear,  for 
neither  science  nor  society  has  ever  found  a  way  to  pre- 
vent listening.  We  cannot  escape  the  voice  of  radio  at 
our  own  fireside,  no  matter  what  it  says  and  how.  A 
mother  can  tell  her  daughter  what  food  to  eat,  clothes 
to  wear,  shows  to  see,  books  to  read,  but  she  cannot  tell 
her  just  what  to  hear  on  the  radio.  And  to  banish  the 
radio  would  be  to  banish  probably  the  greatest  medium 
of  education  and  entertainment  the  earth  has  known. 

"The  power  of  the  radio  is  something  for  which  we 
should  feel  reverence,  it  seems  to  me,  but  that  power  puts 
a  tremendous  responsibility  on  those  who  possess  it.  Per- 
haps I  am  an  old  fashioned  grandmother,  but  I  believe 
that  the  speed  and  confusion  of  modern  life  should  end 
as  much  as  possible  at  the  front  door.  And  1  believe  that 
no  one  should  knowingly  project  into  a  home  an  atmos- 
phere that  is  degrading  or  destructive.  It  is  impossible 
for  the  radio  to  exclude  entirely  from  its  programs  all 
mention  or  reference  to  the  forces  that  make  life  morally 
and  physically  dangerous  today,  but  it  is  quite  possible 
to  exercise  an  intelligent  supervision  that  will  in  no  way 
impair  the  pleasure  of  the  listeners. 

"When  people  say  to  me  that  the  radio  industry  should 
set  a  standard  for  its  programs,  I  am 
apt  to  reply  that  the  radio  industry  has 
already  done  so.  All  that  I  would  ask 
is  that  the  industry  consistently  maintain 
that  standard.  If  it  does,  the  home  and 
Prd^Ki  f  our  girls  can  listen  as  long  as  they  like 
—and  be  much  the  wiser."

who  whistles  is  a  moron!    Of  radio  he  says:

"The  radio  audience  is  practically  help- 
less in  the  presence  of  the  performer. 
Those  who  are  listening  in  cannot  regis- 
ter their  approval  or  disapproval  so  the 
performer  has  no  idea  what  sort  of  im- 
pression he  is  making.  The  innocent 
listener  deserves  some  protection  from 
any  possible  immoralities  and  imbecili- 
ties, too.  Up  to  the  present  time,  it  has 
been  the  intellect  rather  than  the  con- 
science which  has  been  offended  by  radio 
programs.  The  program  may  be  moral 
enough  but  it  may  still  be  moronic. 

"There  should  be  censorship  and  there 
is.  This  censorship  is  in  the  right  place : 
not  in  the  hands  of  those  who  would  throw  all  restraint 
to  the  winds  or  in  the  control  of  such  as  would  ]rat  censor- 
ship under  the  control  of  some  outside  agency.  It  is  in 
the  studios  themselves.  There  it  should  remain.  But  the 
studios  should  recognize  their  responsibility  and  keep  the 
air  both  clean  and  bright.  The  listener  has  been  protected 
from  the  vulgarian  but  has  not  fared  so  well  with  per- 
formers who"  wish  to  indulge  in  silliness.  The  greatest 
pests  of  the  air  are  impossible  singers ;  men  who  sing  like 
women  and  women  who  sing  like  men."

THE  next  time  you  get  sick, 
Mademoiselle,  don't  weep 
— just  sew  a  pretty  smile 
on  your  face  and  think  of  bonny, 
blond  Dick  Leibert.  Because  it 
was  a  spell  of  sickness,  forty-six 
weeks  of  it,  that  made  him  the 
most  popular,  the  highest  paid 
organist  in  radio ! 

What  would  have  sunk  most 
men  simply  lifted  Dick  from  the 
ruck  into  the  amber  glow  of  the 
big  time.  His  whole  life  has  been 
that  way.  A  series  of  episodes 
demonstrating  the  art  of  turning 
hard  luck  into  good  luck.  If  a 
black  cat  crossed  his  path,  he  was 
sure  to  find  a  horseshoe  and  if 
he  knocked  over  the  salt  cellar, 
it  invariably  spilled  on  a  rabbit's 
foot.  His  illness  is  simply  a  case 
in  point. 

Before  it  happened  he  was,  to 
use  his  own  words,   "a  cocky 

youngster."  A  fair  to  middling  organist,  exploiting  his 
gift  for  dramatizing  the  instrument,  at  the  Penn  Theatre 
in  Pittsburgh.  He  was  especially  successful  coddling  the 
kids  at  the  matinee  performances,  so  much  so  that  one 
woman  naively  informed  him  that  if  he  ever  lost  his  job 
she  would  give  him  one  taking  care  of  her  children. 

Then  came  a  narsty  old  germ.  The  illness  that  followed, 
or  rather  the  suffering  that  went  with  it,  changed  him — 
and  for  the  better.  That  is  the  way  of  Dick  Leibert.  For 
twenty-six  weeks  he  lay  in  a  hospital  tortured  by  arthritic 
puns,  too  weak  to  hold  a  sheet  of  music  in  his  hand,  too 
wretched  to  listen  to  the  radio.  He  lost  his  hair — long 
since  returned  more  golden  and  curly  than  before — and 
his  legs  and  amis  and  fingers  gnarled  and  knotted.  Added 
to  his  burden  was  the  fact  that  his  wife,  an  expectant 
mother,  could  visit  him  only  at  rare  intervals. 

W  hen  he  left  the  hospital,  he  did  so  only  to  start  a  long, 
slow  period  of  convalescence,  which  lasted  another  twenty 
weeks.  It  isn't  fun  at  the  age  of  twenty-four  to  see  a 
year  chiseled  out  of  your  life  by  a  mere  germ!  His 
daughter  Maryette,  the  same  for  whom  he  recently  wrote 
a  song,  had  l»een  born  in  the  meantime,  but  it.  was  six  long

weeks  before  Dick  saw  her. 

Never  will  he  forget  the  day  he  returned  to  an  organ 
console.  Something  had  come  out  of  those  seemingly 
wasted  weeks  in  the  hospital,  a  new  understanding,  a 
greater  depth,  a  remarkable  power.  Where  formerly  he 
was  simply  entertaining,  he  now  laid  a  magic  spell  on  his 
listeners. 

BUT  observe  how  hard  luck  and  good  played  tag  in  his 
life.  A  general  strike  was  under  way  in  Pittsburgh 
and  he  couldn't  get  his  old  job  back.  Instead  of  hanging 
around,  he  went  to  Washington  to  take  a  job  as  organist 
in  the  Palace  Theatre.  Nothing  in  that,  do  1  hear  you 
sniff?  It  may  help  you  change  your  mind  when  we  tell 
you  that's  the  theatre  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Coolidge  liked  to 
attend  in  their  vice-presidential  days 

Mrs.  Coolidge  liked  music  and  used  to  ask  him.  via  the 
usher,  to  play  her  favorites  such  as  the  Dawes'  "Melody," 
Dvorak  s  "Humoresque"  and  others.  After  a  time,  the 
ushers  would  tip  him  off  and  when  the  Coolidges  arrived 
they  would  be  greeted  by  their  favorite  airs.  It  was  a 
courtesy  amply  repaid  for     (Continued  on  page  7 Hi

struggled  up  cotton  rows,  hoeing  and  singing.  And  we 
would  sing  with  them.  No  conductor  could  have

the  daisy  patch. 


BY  LESTER 
GOTTLIEB 


/^FTEN  the  fulfillment  of  life-long  dreams  means  the 
sacrifice  of  something  infinitely  more  priceless.  When 
Joe  Cook,  host  and  brilliant  comedian  of  the  "Colgate 
House  Party",  built  his  rambling,  beautiful  estate  on  Lake 
Hopatcong,  New  Jersey,  he  didn't  construct  a  mere  house 
with  trees  and  terraces  to  embellish  it.  He  built  an  ideal. 
The  home  is  known  far  and  wide,  kings,  presidents,  and 
celebrities  in  every  field  have  been  invited.  Those  who 
came  to  play  on  its  mad  golf  course,  to  roar  at  the  antics 
of  Joe's  stooge  butlers,  and  view  his  limitless  inventions, 
never  forgot  fhem. 

But  that's  getting  ahead  of  our  story,  a  story  crammed 
with  laughs  and  tears,  comedy  and  bitter  tragedy.  Kath- 
leen Norris  or  Fannie  Hurst  would  give  most  anything 
to  write  a  novel  like  this.  Yet  they  would  have  hesitated. 
Isn't  it  too  implausible,  these  great  novelists  would  have 
asked?  Truth,  nevertheless,  is  stranger  than  fiction.  I 
write  not  of  Joe  Cook,  celebrated  star  of  stage,  screen, 
and  now  radio,  but  the  simple  story  of  little  Joe  Lopez, 
orphan  boy,  with  a  genius  for  comedy,  and  an  impregnable 
determination.    Unlike  you  and  I,  he  saw  his  childhood 


It  you  want  to  spend  an  amusing  evening,  settle  yourself  comfortably  and  start  looking 
over  Joe  Cook's  trophy  room.  The  rest  of  the  rooms  in  the  house  are  just  as  dizzy. 


vision  become  a  reality.  Fate  helped  him,  of  course.  And 
Fate  demanded  a  costly  recompense.  Joe  forfeited  his 
wife. 

Let's  go  back  thirty  years  ...  far  from  Sleepless  Hol- 
low (the  name  of  Joe's  famous  home)  to  Evansville, 
Indiana.  A  small,  fair  lad  who  looks  about  seven  and 
really  is  ten.  is  beaming  with  pride  and  pleasure.  His 
friends,  all  taller  than  he,  mill  around  him.  He  had  just 
given  the  mid-western  town  its  first  local  circus.  To  be 
sure,  it  wouldn't  have  offered  any  serious  competition  to 
Barnum  and  Bailey.  Its  arena  was  an  empty  barn.  It 
boasted  no  Broadway  clowns,  just  eager  kids  from  the 
neighborhood,  who  thrilled  at  the  first  touch  of  grease 
paint  and  powder.  It  was  a  good  enough  circus  for  these 
simple  folk,  who  were  amazed  at  the  ingenuity  of  this 
little  boy.  He  was  the  whole  works :  ringmaster,  clown, 
bareback  rider,  and  acrobat,  all  rolled  into  one.  The 
hay  loft  was  packed  with  the  audience,  ages  from  six  to 
sixty.    Even  the  pink  lemonade  tasted  good. 

\A/HEN  the  grand  finale  was  over,  with  Joe  high  above 
*  *  the  crowd,  on  an  improvised  slack  wire,  he  mustered 
his  cheering  associates  and  made  some  startling  predic- 
tions, as  he  struggled  to  maintain  his  equilibrium. 

"I'm  gonna  give  bigger  'n'  better  shows  than  this  one, 
in  bigger  'n'  better  cities.  I'm  gonna  make  a  million  dol- 
lars, and  then  ..." 

"And  then  what.  Joey?"  shouted  his  worshipping 
brother,  Leo,  eyes  popping. 


"Then  I'm  gonna  build  me  a  great  house  on  a  blue  lake, 
with  boats  and  trains,  and  give  swell  parties !"  His  ambi- 
tion got  the  better  of  his  balance,  and  he  fell  into  a  con- 
venient pile  of  hay. 

"Now  that  you're  down  to  earth,  Joey,"  called  out  an 
old  man,  who  had  been  sitting  in  front,  "you  won't  be 
having  such  high  falutin'  ideas." 

"You  just  wait  and  see,"  answered  Joe. 

The  old  man's  eyes  twinkled.  They  were  wise  eyes 
that  had  seen  many  things.  Slowly  he  said,  emphasizing 
every  word  of  his  advice:  "Remember,  son,  you  always 
gotta  give  a  lot  to  get  a  lot." 

Success  unlocked  the  key  to  young  Joe's  talents.  Dili- 
gently he  practised  his  stunts.  He  got  every  available  joke 
book.  Then  one  summer,  a  sleek  medicine  man  came  to 
town.  He  needed  an  assistant  that  could,  when  needed, 
juggle,  while  the  professor  (they  always  called  these  shys- 
ters professors)  eulogized  the  miracles  of  his  patent 
remedy. 

Joe  couldn't  juggle,  so  he  faked  a  picture  of  himself 
juggling  thirteen  Indian  cluSs,  mailed  it  to  the  fakir,  and 
got  the  job.  When  the  time  came  for  him  to  juggle,  he 
told  jokes  instead.  The  attentive  farmers  laughed  and 
the  professor  sold  his  medicine.  When  the  evasive  quack, 
who  was  always  two  jumps  ahead  of  town  constables,  con- 
cluded his  tour  of  hundreds  of  tiny  hamlets  throughout 
the  country,  his  versatile  Joe-of-all-trades  asked  to  be 
paid.  The  professor  had  no  money,  so  they  compromised. 
Joe,  none  the  worse  for  his  (Continued  on  page  °0)

lible, but  if  anything  is  troubling  you — any  ques- 
tion relative  to  love,  marriage,  finance,  the  future 
— write  to  me.  Enclose  one  dollar — " 
It  is  the  voice  of  "lickcs.  Hay,  Ah,  Doble-oo;  la  vac 
de  el  scrvicio  international.''  Or  of  "Eckcs,  Eay,  Pay, 
Enny;  the  voice  of  the  western  hemisphere."  In  other 
words,  it  is  the  voice  of  one  of  the  powerful  radio  sta- 
tions along  the  Texas-Mexico  border  whose  call  let- 
letters  begin  with  "X-E"  and  are  announced  in  both 
Spanish  and  English,  and  whose  individual  broadcasts 
reach  almost  as  many  listeners  as  does  an  entire  network 
of  American  stations.  And  the  benignant  words  which 
open  this  article  come  to 
you  from  one  of  the  pro- 
fessional "spooks"  con- 
nected with  these  stations. 

Spooks,  in  the  parlance 
of  the  radio  profession,  are 
not  disembodied  spi rits.  On 
the  contrary,  they  are  very 
materialistic  gentlemen,  and 
sometimes  ladies,  although 
women  are  not  generally 
credited  with  good  "com- 
mercial" voices;  hence, 
''spooking"  being  a  strict! v 
commercial  proposition, 
lady  spooks  are  not  as  much 
in  demand  as  their  mascu- 
line competitors. 

You  have  doubtless  lis- 
tened in — if  only  momen- 
tarily, in  the  course  of  twirling  your  dial — to  these  suave 
gentlemen  beseeching  you  to  permit  them  to  solve  all 
your  vexatious  problems :  apprehend  and  drag  into  the 
light  of  day  that  coy  and  elusive  fate  of  yours  which  is 
ever  hiding  just  around  the  corner  of  the  future;  advise 
you  on  all  your  doubtful  decisions,  from  planting  your 
potatoes  by  the  light  or  the  dark  of  the  moon,  to  choosing 
your  life  mate  or  investing  in  oil  stock. 

Have  you  taken  any  one  of  these  radio  spooks  at  his 
word,  and  sent  him  a  dollar  to  exercise  his  mystic  powers 
in  your  behalf  ?  Was  the  veil  rent,  and  did  Astrologer 
Koran,  or  Bg&ndon  the  Man  of  Destiny,  reveal  those 
secrets  whicTonly  the  Fates  are  supposed  to  know? 
Judging  by  the  deluge  of  fan  mail  from  "satisfied  cus- 
tomers," you  would  say  that  the  most  extravagant  claims 
of  these  modern  knights  of  the  Mystic  Veil  are  not  ex- 
aggerated. A  handful  of  letters  picked  at  random  from 
the  files  of  any  one  of  them  might  convince  the  most 
sceptical  of  their  magic  powers. 

A YOUNG  man  wrote  Gayle  Norman  the  2nd,  one  of 
the  leading  psychologists  of  the  Mexican  border 
fraternity  of  radio  spooks,  stating  there  were  no  funds 
with  which  to  meet  a  mortgage  of  $4,500  on  his  mother's 
home;  would  the  loan  thev  were  negotiating  go  through 


RADIO 


in  time  to  save  the  home?  The  reply  was  that  the  loan 
would  not  go  through,  but  some  money  would  conic  to 
the  family  from  an  unexpected  source  in  time  to  save 
the  property.  The  day  before  the  mortgage  fell  due,  the 
mother  went  into  the  attic  to  search  for  some  lost  articles. 
In  the  course  of  the  search  she  found  under  a  loose  board 
exactly  $4,5(X)  which  had  been  hidden  there  by  her  grand- 
father! 

Certain  notorious  criminals  in  Texas  had  evaded  the 
law  successfully  for  too  long  a  time.  A  ]x."ace  officer  with 
different  ideas  consulted  Kthcl  Duncan,  dean  of  women 
spooks,  who  employs  as  her  trade  name  "The  Good 
Samaritan,"  and  the  outlaws  were  promptly  apprehended! 

Are  such  records  as  the 
alx)ve  proof  that  these 
radio  mentalists  can,  indeed, 
perceive  things  hidden  from 
us  ordinary  mortals  ?  ( )r  do 
they  merely  prove  the  prev- 
alence of  coincidence? 

Gayle  Norman  the  2nd, 
whose  mystic  influence  is 
credited  with  the  finding  of 
the  long  concealed  sum 
which  redeemed  the  mort- 
gage in  Okl^goma,  visited 
the  Kentucky  DerbyjAe- 
cently,  and  dropped  mosSof 
his  savings  on  the  ponies. 
Ethel  Duncan  was  swindled 
and  deceived  by  a  business 
partner.  Was  the  outcome 
of  the  races  too  much  for 
Gayle  to  forsee?  And  could  not  Ethel's  powers  of  divina- 
tion warn  her  that  her  partner  was  making  misstatements 
to  her  ? 

Now,  here  is  the  most  surprising  thing  of  ,aU.  Gayle 
Norman  never  even  saw  the  letter  from  the  y4fUT)ii  man 
in  Oklahoma,  much  less  the  answer  foretelling  the  ma- 
terialization of  the  cash  to  pay  off  the  mortgage !

SERVICE  ^  RADIO 


"One  Man's  Family"  captures  something  in  life  that  most  programs  miss.  It  contrives 
artfully  to  reproduce  experiences  through  which  many  of  us  pass.  Or  would  like  to  pass. 
It  does  all  this  with  a  minimum  of  sugar-coating,  with  most  of  the  stuff  of  life  left  raw  and 
lusty  as  nature  intended. 

You  probably  don't  know  that  this  is  a  program  born  and  built  in  California.  First 
presented  there  about  two  years  ago,  its  robust  vitality  soon  attracted  so  many  friends 
that  NBC's  eastern  offices  were  forced  to  pay  attention.  Presently,  it  was  offered  to  the

CONRAD  THIBAULT 


ARM  IN  ARM  SUCCESS  AND  TRAGEDY  OVERTOOK  CONRAD  THIBAULT 


FOUR   times   Conrad   Thibault   has    faced  vital 
decisions. 
Four  times  he  has  made  his  choice. 
Four  times  he  has  known  grim  disapproval, 
heen  accused  of  throwing  his  life  away,  of  acting  like  a 
fool. 

"You've  heard  Conrad  on  the  "Show  Boat"  hour  and  the 
Certo  program.  Had  he  made  different  decisions  and 
his  life  been  shaped  to  another  pattern,  he  would,  of 
course,  still  have  his  fine  baritone  voice.  But  it's  not 
at  all  likely  it  would  possess  the  same  emotional  quality. 

For — I  give  fair  warning — this  is  a  story  with  a  tragic 
ending.  Let  those  who  relish  only  stories  which  conclude 
on  a  happy  note  read  no  further. 

Today  Conrad  Thibault  .  .  .  But  wait !  Let's  begin 
at  the  proper  beginning  for  this  story,  with  Conrad  fac- 
ing his  first  vital  decision.  . 

Conrad  wasn't  twenty  when  he  fell  in  love.  Her  name 
was  Madeleine  and  he  first  saw  her  the  day  his  family 
moved  to  Northampton,  Massachusetts,  when  he  went  out 
to  look  the  town  over. 

Madeleine  came  down  the  street.  "She  was  fair,"  he 
says,  but  he  makes  you  see  more  than  a  girl  with  golden 
hair  and  soft  skin  and  blue  eyes.  He  gives  you  the  essence 
of  this  girl  as  she  lives  in  his  heart. 

"How  do  you  do!"  he  said,  tipping  the  hat  he  wore  at 
an  angle  befitting  his  years.  He  was  appalled  at  him- 
self, for  this  girl,  obviously,  wasn't  a  girl  to  be  picked 
up  on  the  street.   But  something  instinctive  compelled  him. 

She  didn't,  strangely  enough,  rebuff  him.  She  smiled. 
And  Conrad  had  a  strong  feeling  some  deep-lying  element 
motivated  her,  too.  "It  was,"  he  says  now,  over  ten  years 
later,  "love  at  first  sight." 

Conrad  and  Madeleine  next  met  at  the  rehearsals  for 
an  entertainment  the  Elks  were  giving.     Both  were  to 

36 


sing.  "I  remember,"  he  says,  "that  we  were  shy  with 
each  other.  As  if  that  first  time  we  had  shown  more 
of  our  feelipgs  than  we  thought  seemly." 

One  night  when  rehearsal  was  over,  Conrad  suggested 
to  a  friend  that  they  invite  Madeleine  and  her  sister  out. 
"Fine,"  his  friend  agreed,  "only  it's  too  late  for  any  pic- 
ture show.    There's  only  the  dance." 

"Okeh!"  Conrad  felt  he  had  already  waited  too  long 
to  know  this  girl  better. 

WHEN  he  tells  about  that  first  date  he  smiles.  "I 
couldn't  dance,  but  then  Madeleine  didn't  dance 
every  dance.  So  we  did  have  an  opportunity  to  sit  and 
talk.  And  before  that  evening  was  over  I  knew,  defi- 
nitely, wTiat  I'd  felt  from  the  beginning,  that  this  was 
the  real  thing." 

Whereupon  Conrad  found  himself  in  a  spot,  a  tough 
spot,  for  he  wanted  to  tell  Madeleine  of  his  love.  He 
wanted  to  ask  for  her  love.  He  wanted  to  marry  her. 
But  he  had  no  money.  And  there  was  no  indication  that 
he  would  be  able  to  support  a  wife,  in  even  the  simplest 
fashion,  for  years  to  come. 

His  social  conscience  told  him  he  had  no  right  to  speak. 
But  his  heart  and  mind  told  him  the  love  he  held  for 
Madeleine  was  something  beyond  the  jurisdiction  of  such 
superficial  things  as  social  laws.  Conrad  made  his  first 
decision.  Within  that  year  he  and  Madeleine  were 
engaged. 

"What  is  that  boy  thinking  of?"  Northampton  inquired 
of  Northampton.  "Doesn't  he  know  it  takes  money  to 
get  married?  Why,  he  hasn't  even  'prospects'."  in  a 
small  New  England  town  it's  particularly  difficult  to  face 
such  censure.  Conrad,  fortunately,  had  courage.  He 
needed  it.  for  the  necessity  of  making  a  second  important 
decision  came  almost  at  once.  (Continued  on  pac/c  7?)

You  Have  to  Leave  Home 


They  sing  to  those  who  have  never  left  home,  these  lads.  Left  to  right,  they  are:  Carl,  Jack 

and  Dan  Landt  and  Howard  White. 


WE  you  ever  wanted  to  take  your  talents  to  New 
York  and  do  something  really  great? 
If  you  have,  what  kept  you  from  it? 
Whatever  it  was,  if  you  ever  had  that  urge, 
you  will  understand  deeply  the  story  of  how  the  broken 
hopes  of  the  Landt  Trio  and  White,  those  song  and 
comedy  fellows  of  the  NBC  net-  _ 
works,  were  miraculously  weld-  l-C 
ed  into  exuberant  triumph.  " 

1928!   Four  young  men.  two  — .  _ 

of  them  still  in  their  teens,  sit  |^ 
disconsolately  in  a  shabby  little 

room — for  three  and  a  half  dreary  weeks  of  shocking  dis- 
illusionment their  New  York  Home.  The  walls  are  pitted 
with  bullet  holes,  grim  reminders  of  a  gangster  shooting. 
The  cries  of  grimy  children  playing  on  the  sidewalk  be- 
low punctuate  the  howling  of  a  thousand  raucous  radios. 
In  the  slanting  light  of  the  October  afternoon  sun,  the 
three  brothers,  Dan,  Carl  and  Jack  I-andt.  and  Howard 
White,  are  counting  their  last  few  coins. 

Only  a  few  blocks  away  are  their  dream  streets — Broad- 
way of  the  glittering  lights  and  Fifth  Avenue  of  the  radio 
studios — streets  where  millions  of  dollars  arc  pouring  into 
the  laps  of  entertainers.  Hut  of  which  they  had  gotten 
not  a  penny.    Nor  had  prospects  of  any. 


Oh.  they  came  riding  high  on  hopes,  those  lads.  Back 
home  in  Scranton,  Pennsylvania,  their  families  and  friends 
told  them  they  were  pretty  good.  They  had  a  loyal  group 
of  supporters  in  the  listeners  of  WGBI,  a  local  station. 

It  all  started  with  hot  cross  buns.  Dan.  the  eldest  of 
the  1  -andt  brothers,  called  up  a  bakery  one  day  to  order 

hthe  buns.    He  was  startled  to 
fl  hear  a   familiar  voice  on  the 

other  end  of  the  wire.    It  was

"Drop  in  and  see  my  shop 
some  time,"  Howard  invited.  "I've  something  to  show  you." 

"Nice  layout,"  Dan  observed  politely  when  he  did  drop 
in  and  looked  around. 

"Wait'll  you  see  what  I've  got  back  here."  answered 
Howard  with  a  grin  as  he  led  Dan  Landt  into  a  back 
room.  He  pointed  proudly  at  the  piano.  "That's  what  I 
use  to  practice  for  my  programs  on  WGBI." 

DAN   looked   at   it  thoughtfully   for   a   moment,  then 
snapped  his  fingers  triumphantly.    "I've  got  it."  he 
cried. 

"Got  what?"  demanded  White.

have  had  an  unexpected  swim  had 
not  another  fishing  boat  sighted  their 
plight  and  come  to  their  rescue. 

WE  understand  the  next  big-time 
show  to  hit  our  ears  will  be  an 
original  musical  of  an  hour's  length. 
Original  in  the  sense  that  both  the 
text  and  the  music  will  be  written 
especially  for  that  show.  Looks  like 
the  setup  will  include  Don  Voorhees' 
orchestra,  Conrad  Thibault,  Jack  and 
Loretta  Clemmens,  Lois  Bennett  and 
a  chorus.  The  product  that's  adver- 
tised as  99  **/U)l)  per  cent  pure  is  to 
foot  the  bill. 

ANNOUNCER  John  Young  of

ican speech?  When  John  returns, 
maybe  those  marriage  rumors  that 
have  been  in  the  air  will  ring  wedding 
bells.  We've  heard  on  good  authority 
that  the  girl's  papa  has  already  given 
the  couple  his  blessings. 

CAMPBELL  SOUP'S  plans  to  hit 
the  air  waves  this  month  with  an 
hour  show  coming  from  California 
is  an  indication  of  the  pick-up  in 
business  we  might  expect  for  the  air 
this  fall.  In  fact,  we're  told  that  so 
many  new  sponsors  are  clamoring  for 
time  that  NBC  and  CBS  find  it  im- 
possible to  take  care  of  them  all  with 
present  station  hook-ups.  Which 
means  that  maybe  those  contemplated 
third  networks  we've  been  hearing 
about  will  find  it  easier  to  develop 
and  star*  operation — perhaps  this 
fall.

days  afterwards,  the  newspapeis  denied  the  marriage.  It 
seems  that  a  Tommy  McLaughlin  was  married,  hut  not 
radio's  Tommy.  After  all,  there  can  be  duplication  of 
names. 

BLUES  singing  into  little  black  mikes  usually  brings 
fortune  to  the  possessor  of  the  voice.  Hut  Irene 
Taylor,  who  first  sang  at  the  Edgewater  Beach  Hotel  in 
Chicago,-  where  she  was  "discovered"  by  Paul  Whiteman, 
says  she's  broke.  She  filed  a  voluntary  bankruptcy  peti- 
tion listing  liabilities  of  $5,938,  and  said  she  had  no  assets 
except  her  voice,  which  isn't  hringing  her  in  any  money 
at  present.  Irene's  last  program  was  the  Camel  half- 
hour  on  CBS.  Since  leaving  that,  she  has  been  visiting 
her  mother,  who  is  ill,  in  Texas. 

FRIDAY  the  13th  might  be  unlucky  to  some,  but  that's 
the  day  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bing  Crosby  presented  the  world 
with  twin  boys,  establishing  a  record  in  such  matters  as 
far  as  radio  and  the  movies  are  concerned. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  July  13th  the  twins  put  in 
an  appearance,  relieving  the  anxiety  felt  for  months  over 
the  welfare  of  Mrs.  Crosby,  who  was  critically  ill  for 
weeks  preceding  the  births. 

We  said  the  twins  established  a  record.  Well,  so  say 
the  old-timers,  who  can't  recall  any  big  radio  and  movie 
name  like  Bing  ever  before  having  twins.  Lawrence 
Tibbett  has  twin  boys,  but  they  were  born  long  before 
their  father  ever  appeared  over  the  air  or  on  the  screen. 

GEORGE  JESSELL  and  CBS  have  parted  company. 
There's  a  comedian  who  seems  to  be  doomed  as  far 
as  radio  is  concerned.  Why  he  and  the  network  split  is 
a  secret  both  are  guarding.  Some  say  CBS  couldn't  sell 
him  to  a  sponsor.  Some  say  they  just  didn't  work  in* 
harmony.  Others  tell  us  that  George  wouldn't  stick  to 
his  script  and  often  added  lines  that  hadn't  been  approved 
by  the  program  department.  So,  the  newly  married 
Georgie  isn't  doing  radio  anymore.  And  it  looks  like 
that  condition  will  extend  many  months.

expected  this  fall. 

PAUL  DOUGLAS,  the  CBS  announcer,  and  his  wife, 
Sabyre  Worth,  are  reported  to  be  on  the  outs — even  to 
the  extent  of  going  to  court.  Kenneth  Roberts  is  another 
Columbia  announcer  who  is  having  wife  trouble,  or  so  the 
rumors  say.    Also,  Ted  Husing  was  recently  divorced.

it  is  the  Continental  Baking  Company  that's  making 
the  plans.   CBS  will  get  the  program.

all.    Peggy  Keenan  and  Sandra  Phillips,  the  two-piano

UP  at  NBC  in  New  York,  they  call  Graham  Mc- 
Namee Mister  Dynamite.  He's  like  that,  you  know. 
When  he  drove  down  to  Elkton,  Maryland,  last  January 
at  a  mile-a-minute  clip  and  married  pretty  Ann  Lee 
Sims,  nobody  was  surprised.  That's  the  way  he  goes 
about  things.  His  courtship  was  a  furious  and  hectic 
one. 

Would  yon  like  to  be  "in"  on  this  amazing  romance? 
Would  you  like  to  know  how  Graham  McNamee — world- 
scarred,  knockabout  Graham  McNamee  met,  wooed  and 
married  an  unsophisticated  girl  only  five  months  after  he 
first  set  eyes  on  her? 

There  was  one  obstacle  that  Graham  had  to  tear  down 
before  he  got  Ann  Lee  to  say  yes.  But  did  it  stump 
him?  Say,  you  don't  know  your  McNamee.  This  'ro- 
mance reveals  the  man  you  and  I  never  before  knew — 
a  nice,  human  Graham  McNamee  and  not  the  effervescent, 
42 


glib  announcer  known  wherever  broadcasts  are  heard. 

Here's  how  it  started.  Graham  was  in  the  Universal 
moving-picture  studios  one  Tuesday  afternoon  working 
away  like  blazes.  Besides  all  of  his  radio  work,  he  is  the 
"voice"  of  the  Universal  newsreel  pictures,  you  know. 
This  recording  was  a  pretty  strenuous  job  and,  on  top  of 
it  all,  he  had  to  rush  through  it,  because  he  had  to  make 
a  Texaco  rehearsal  at  NBC.  He  was  nervous  and  jittery

Graham  McNamee. 

HE  was  in  the  midst  of  the  recording  when  Jack  Stew- 
art, a  friend,  walked  in.    Graham  stopped  short. 
"What  is  it,  Jack?"  he  asked  impatiently. 

Jack,  fortunately,  didn't  recognize  the  dark  look  in 
McNamee's  eyes.  "I've  got  a  friend  outside,"  he  said  inno- 
cently.  "She's  from  New  Orleans  and  she  begged  me  to

take  her  to  watch  you  make  a  newsreel  recording.  Said 
she  was  crazy  about  your  voice  and — " 

"What!"  McNamee  cried.  "Do  you  think  I'm  going  to 
stop  in  the  middle  of  my  work  to  act  as  a  guide  for  a  girl  ?" 

"But,  Mac — " 

"No  sirree.  I  can't  be  bothered.  I  haven't  the  time. 
Tell  that  to  your  little  girl  friend." 

Suddenly  he  looked  toward  the  door.  He  saw  it  open- 
ing slowly  and  then  a  slim  ankle  edged  its  way  in.  He 
looked  up  into  the  softest  brown  eyes  and  most  dazzling 
young  smile  out  of  New  Orleans. 

"May  I  come  in?"  Her  voice  had  a  fascinating  huski- 
ness  coupled  with  a  delightful  drawl. 

"Why,  yes,  come  right  in,"  the  erstwhile  harassed  an- 
nouncer said  in  his  most  charming  manner. 

Do  you  believe  in  love  at  first  sight?  Well,  there  are 
some  people  who  use  snap  judgment.    Graham  belongs  to 


that  impetuous  group.  Before  the  day  was  over,  the  New 
Orleans  stranger  had  been  show»-#very  nook  and  crannv 
worth  seeing  in  the  Universal  studios.  She  listened  to  a 
rehearsal  of  the  Texaco  hour,  she  was  introduced  to  jovial 
Ed  Wynn.  she  went  to  dinner  with  the  best  known  an- 
nouncer in  radio,  and  she  sat  in  the  exclusive  clients'  box 
and  heard  the  whole  Texaco  program  with  that  same 
announcer  smiling  right  up  at  her  from  his  position  at 
the  mik^e. 

Graham,  as  impetuous  and  eager  as  his  breathless  voice 
implies,  proceeded  to  rush  her  right  off  her  tiny  feet.  He 
dated  her  up  day  after  day.  What  girl  wouldn't  be 
thrilled  at  this  exciting  courtship,  wouldn't  be  fascinated 
by  this  dashing  man  ?  Ann  I-ee  knew  that  life  would  never 
be  dull  with  Graham. 

Things  were  going  along  beautifully.  It  was  almost  too 
good  to  l>e  true  and  ( Iraham  had  his  fingers  crossed.  Then

Do  you  recognize  the  gentleman?  Or  the  contraption  in  front 
of  him.   Well,  it's  McNamee  way  back  when  mikes  looked 
like  that  ancient  one  in  the  picture. 


the  thing  that  he  most  feared  happened.  Slowly  but 
surely,  ugly  whispered  rumors  began  to  reach  Ann  Lee's 
ears  about  himself. 

Now  you  mustn't  forget  this :  During  the  last  twelve 
years  that  Graham  McNamee  had  been  associated  with 
the  mad  whirl  of  radio,  his  life  had  been  a  hectic  one. 
He  was  a  gay  fellow,  a  man's  man,  a  "hail-fellow-well- 
met."  The  kind  who  could  stay  up  all  night  playing  poker 
with  the  boys,  or  visit  one  night  spot  after  another.  This 
floated  to  Ann  Lee's  ears,  undoubtedly.  How  did  she 
feel  when  she  heard  these  reports?  Well,  let  me  put  the 
question  to  you — how  would  you  feel?  And  Lee  tried  to 
shut  her  eyes  to  them.  Tried  to  pretend  that  they  were 
nothing. 

But  there  was  one  story  she  couldn't  dismiss.  Graham 
had  been  married  before.  He  had  married  his  first  wife. 
Josephine  Garrett,  after  he  had  heard  her  sing  at  a  con- 
cert in  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church  in  Bronxville,  New 
York.  At  that  time  he  was  broke  and  jobless — a  baritone 
who  just  couldn't  seem  to  get  started  on  a  singing  career. 

One  day  he  strolled  into  the  old  WEAF  studio  of  the 
crystal  set  era  and  walked  out  with  a  job  as  announcer. 
During  those  exciting,  formative  years  when  he  saw  him- 
self fast  becoming  radio's  number  one  announcer,  the  story 
of  the  McNamees'  devotion  to  each  other  was  plastered  in 
every  newspaper.  Their  marriage  was  held  up  as  one  of 
the  happiest  and  most  ideal  in  radio.  And  then,  suddenly, 
they  split. 

WHATEVER  the  reason,  only  he  and  the  first  Mrs. 
McNamee  know.   They  refuse  to  talk  about  it.  But 
gossipers  had  to  blame  someone  for  it,  so  the  finger  was 
pointed  at  Graham  himself.     Don't  you  see  how  that 
44 


could  have  hapj>cned  ?  Here  was 
a  man,  they  reasoned,  who  had 
left  his  wife  after  he  had  tasted 
the  fruit  of  success  and  fame. 
Who,  when  he  finally  reached 
the  top,  shook  off  the  wife  who 
had  stuck  by  him  through  thick 
and  thin.  It  seemed  so  logical. 
Of  course,  Graham  could  have 
dispelled  all  of  these  whispers 
by.  coming  out  with  a  statement 
defending  himself.  But  he  felt 
the  real  reason  for  the  divorce 
was  nolxxly's  business  but 
Josephine  McNamee's  and  his 
own. 

I  wonder  what  Ann  Lee 
made  of  all  that  ?  She  certainly 
couldn't  have  tossed  them  aside 
lightly  with  a  mere  nod.  Her 
young  life  had  been  molded  in 
the  conventional  ]>attern  of  a 
sheltered  New  Orleans  home 
girl.  A  man  who  had  the  ashes 
of  one  wrecked  marriage  over 
his  head,  she  had  been  taught 
to  believe,  didn't  have  the  mak- 
ings of  a  good  husband. 

Then,  too,  he  was  forty-four 
years  old,  twice  as  old  as  she. 
His  life  had  been  lived,  fully 
and  recklessly.  Hers  was  just 
l>eginning.  How  could  they 
hope  to  get  along  ?  She  couldn't 
escape  these  doubts.  The  more 
these  facts  twirled  dizzily  in  her 
brain,  the  more  inclined  she  was 
to  heed  those  people  who  told 
her  to  give  up  Graham. 

Once  he  caught  that  puzzled 
look  in  her  eyes  as  she  sat  staring  at  him.  And  he  under- 
stood what  it  meant.  That  was  the  snag  that  threatened 
to  head  his  romance  to  the  rocks. 

Graham,  if  anything,  is  direct  and  honest.  I  can  imagine 
him  taking  the  bull  by  the  horns  and  telling  Ann  Lee  the 
whole  story  of  his  unfortunate  marriage.  I  know  that  he 
would  not  twist  and  garble  the  truth  in  his  own  favor. 
He  wouldn't  hold  himself  .up  as  the  misunderstood,  ag- 
grieved husband.  How  many  men  would  have  had  the 
courage  to  tackle  that  problem  with  the  same  forwardness 
and  candor  that  McNamee  did?  That  was  probably  what 
won  Ann  Lee  over  instantly.  He  was  so  awfully  decent 
and  outright  about  it  all. 

NOR  did  he  have  to  tell  her  in  so  many  words  that 
those  primrose  days  of  wine,  women  and  song  were 
over.  His  life,  as  she  saw  it,  proved  that.  His  absorbing 
interest, 'she  discovered,  was  the  opera.  He  loved  sports, 
too — fishing,  tennis  and  golf.   So  did  she. 

With  these  mutual  interests  and  hobbies,  the  bugaboo 
that  threatened  to  come  between  them  was  shooed  away. 
Ann  Lee  now  really  meant  it  when  she  smiled  tolerantly  at 
those  who  continued  to  rake  up  rumors  about  Graham. 
She  knew  better  now. 

For  the  first  time,  Ann  Lee  saw  right  into  the  heart 
of  Graham  McNamee.  His  hearty,  chuckling  laugh  didn't 
fool  her  one  bit.  She  saw  right  through  his  gay  banter, 
right  through  his  vivacious  quips,  and  discovered  a  dis- 
illusioned, lonely  man.  Her  heart  went  out  to  him. 

That  scare  did  something  to  Graham.  When  he  realized 
that  he  had  almost  lost  Ann  Lee,  he  was  determined  never 
to  let  her  go  out  of  his  life.  There  was  only  one  way  to 
keep  her  with  him  always.     (Continued  on  page  88)

(Right)  Next  to  leading  a  band,  Jones  likes 
best  to  play  the  piano. 


that  course  in  second  year  chemistry  and  composition. 

Came  the  dawn,  however,  of  the  last  day  of  the  twenty- 
seventh  week.  As  head  of  the  orchestra,  I  had  been  doing 
pretty  well  financially.  I  had  bought  a  Packard  and  had 
plenty  of  money  to  spend.  But  when  our  booker  got  us 
St.  Louis  he  had  apparently  done  his  day's  work,  for  there 
weren't  any  more  spots  for  us  to  move  to.  So  I  climbed 
into  the  Packard,  with  at  least  part  of  my  last  week's 
takings  in  my  pocket,  and  headed  for  Chicago  and  the 
office  of  the  erring  agent. 

"Why  don't  you  take  a  run  over  to  Milwaukee?"  he 
suggested.  "Isham  Jones  is  there  at  the  Shrader  with  a 
new  band  he's  just  shaping  up.  He's  still  short  a  singer 
and  you  might  get  the  job." 

"Thanks  for  the  tip,"  I  came  back,  "but  I'm  buying  a 
round-trip  ticket.  Have  another  idea  thought  up  by  the 
time  I  get  back  tomorrow  night." 

That  afternoon  at  the  Shrader  I  tried  to  see  Isham 
Jones,  but  instead  I  drew  his  manager.  This  gentleman 
wasn't  impressed  and  didn't  think  the  boss  would  care  to 
interview  me.  There  was  nothing  to  be  gained  by  giving 
him  an  argument,  so  I  inquired  of  the  bellhop  as  to  where 
Mr.  Jones  ate  breakfast. 

The  next  morning  I  went  down  to  the  hotel's  coffee 
shop  and  began  drinking  coffee.  At  about  the  fourth  cup 
I  saw  him  come  in,  alone,  and  order  breakfast.  I  waited 
until  it  came  and  he  began  to  eat.  My  heart  was  thump- 
ing. It  was  my  first  real  attempt  to  land  a  job.  but  some- 
thing made  me  resolve  to  get  it  or  die  in  the  attempt.  I 
think  it  was  annoyance  at  the  manager's  reception  as  much 
as  the  fact  that  I  was  down  to  my  last  six  dollars. 

When  I  made  myself  go  over  to  his  table,  tell  my  little 
story,  and  ask  for  a  hearing,  Isham  looked  at  me  dubiously. 
He  wasn't  sure  he  needed  a  singer.  But  his  kindness  of 
heart  got  the  better  of  him.  Before  he  had  finished 
breakfast  he  had  agreed  that  it  would  do  no  special  harm 
to  listen  to  me  sing. 

Time  for  rehearsal  came  at  last.  I  was  hanging  around 
and  had  tried  to  make  friends  with  several  of  the  boys. 


All  new  themselves,  they  were  sympathetic.  The  man- 
ager glowered  at  me,  but  I  pretended  not  to  notice.  My 
knees  were  trembling.  I  hadn't  even  brought  my  violin 
and  I  was  to  play  along  with  the  band,  as  well  as  sing 
by  myself ! 

Then  Jones  came  in  and  with  a  borrowed  instrument 
under  my  chin  I  stood  up  for  my  ordeal.  The  Ikws,  as 
they  had  promised,  carried  on  pretty  strongly  and  covered 
up  the  sour  notes  on  the  fiddle. 

When  told  to  sing  "just  anything"  I  timidly  warbled 
"I  May  Be  Wrong."  Jones  looked  non-commital  and 
asked  for  another.  I  tried  "Crying  for  the  Carolines" 
and  ended  the  second  chorus  on  a  note  an  octave  higher 
than  it  was  written.  That  smart  trick  was  later  to  get 
me  into  trouble,  but  at  the  time  Isham  just  said.  "Okay, 
Kid,  you're  hired.    Show  up  in  your  tux  tonight  at  seven." 

My  strong  liking  for  "the  old  man"  began  at  that 
moment.  "Thank  you.  Sir,"  I  answered,  trying  to  con- 
trol my  joy.  "But  I'll  have  to  run  back  to  Chicago  for 
the  tux.  I  didn't  bring  any  clothes,  because  how  did  I 
know  I'd  get  the  job!" 

The  fact  that  I  was  still  hired  after  this  dumb  crack 
will  give  you  some  idea  of  the  decent  chap  that  [sham 
Jones  is ! 

The  first  week  was  so  awful  that  I  break  into  a  cold 
sweat  when  I  remember  it.  Nothing  but  Jones'  faith  in 
his  hunches  kept  me  with  the  band.  Mrs.  Jones,  listening 
from  Chicago  to  all  of  our  broadcasts,  sent  word  that: 
"Your  new  singer  is  pretty  terribje.  Isham.  but  he  has 
something  different."  The  fan  mail  confirmed  the  first 
part  of  her  opinion  in  no  uncertain  terms!  It  looked  as 
if  everyone  in  Milwaukee  and  the  environs  had  taken  pen 
in  hand  to  tell  the  conductor  at  the  Shrader  how  little  they 
thought  of  his  scat  singer. 

Finally  I  got  up  courage  to  go  to  Jones  and  try  to 
explain  that  that  high  note  at  the  end  of  "Carolines"  was 
just  an  accident.  My  voice  is  pitched  very  low  and  the 
songs  I  was  being  given  were  all  too  high  in  their  arrange- 
ments.   Again  the  boss  looked  (Continued  on  page  78)

tion three  hundred  years  younger  than  the  great  dramatist ! 
Words  spoken  into  a  microphone  by  a  woman  who  knew 
sorrow  and  torture  and  hope! 
"Lousy !" 

So  spoke  the  busy  executive  listening,  in  his  palatial 
office,  to  the  audition  of  an  unknown  actress,  Irene 
Hubbard. 

"Lousy.    Turn  it  off." 

in  the  little  audition  room  the  woman  waited  eagerly. 
"We.  have  your  name  and  address,"  said  the  girl  who 
came  in  to  her.    "If  we  need  you  we'll  let  you  know." 
Weary,  desperately  weary,   Irene   Hubbard  tried  to 

52 


smile  and  left  the  great  building  on  Fifth  Avenue,  New 
York,  which  in  those  days  housed  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company.  As  she  started  toward  the  elevator, 
out  of  sight  of  the  smug  secretary  of  the  busy  executive, 
her  shoulders  drooped  with  the  weight  of  her  heart  leaden 
with  sudden  hopelessness. 

Only  the  few  people  who  know  Irene  Hubbard  well — 
the  same  Irene  Hubbard  who  is  heard  on  the  "Show  Boat" 
hour  with  Cap'n  Henry,  and  who  early  last  summer  was 
given  a  program  of  her  own — "Maria's  Certo  Matinee" — 
know  the  secret  that  has  driven  her  from  failure  to  success. 

When  Irene  Hubbard  read  those  lines  from  "Hamlet" 
that  was  the  fourth  time  she  had  tried  to  break  into  radio. 
No  fame-hungry  woman  was  this  ambitious  actress,  for 
there  was  more  at  stake  than  just  success.  Yes,  there 
was  more — that  secret  about  which  I  shall  tell  you. 

1  hit  let  me  tell  you  first  about  Irene,  so  that  you  will 
better  understand  the  amazing  spirit  that  inspires  her.

father  left  the  East.  Her  father  was  interested  in  a  mine 
in  Mexico  and  there  the  young  couple  hoped  to  make  the 
fortune  that  would  mean  comfort  and  happiness  for  the 
child  that  was  on  the  way. 

When  the  two  lovers  reached  Texas  they  realized  that 
it  would  not  be  long  before  that  child  would  lie  born  to 
them.  Irene's  father,  knowing  the  turmoil  and  uncer- 
tainty of  Mexico  in  those  days,  decided  it  was  wiser  to 
go  alone.  Before  he  returned  from  his  dangerous  sortie 
into  the  Mexican  wilderness,  a  daughter  was  born  to  his 
wife.  They  named  the  child  "Irene". 

Irene  Hubliard  grew  into  an  attractive,  ambitious  girl 
who,  in  her  late  teens,  landed  at  Vassar  and  her  destiny — 
dramatics.  She  loved  every  moment  of  it.  And  I  don't 
need  to  tell  you  that  her  dearest  love  was  Shakespeare. 
She  tried  out  and  was  chosen  for  every  Shakespearean 
play  that  the  dramatic  club  put  on. 

When  she  left  school,  I^ene  persuaded  a  relative  to 
put  in  a  word  for  her  with  the  producer  (if  a  Shakes- 
pearean repertory  company.    She  got  the  job. 

Then  she  fell  in  love  with  an  actor.  And  Juliet  told 
Romeo : 

"My  bounty  is  as  boundless  as  the  sea. 
My  love  as  deep;  the  more  I  give  thee. 
The  more  I  have,  for  both  are  infinite.'

(Above)  When  KMOX  aslced  for  Christ- 
mas gifts  for  Ozark  mountaineers, 
listeners  sent  in  five  tons  of  materials. 


YOU  are  listening  to  KMOX,  the  Voice  of  St.  Louis." 
For  nine  years  that  sentence  has  rung  clearly  in 
the  ears  of  the  people  of  the  Forty-ninth  State. 
The  Forty-ninth  State?  you  ask.    But,  I  say,  old  man, 
there  are  only  forty-eight  stars  on  the  flag. 

True,  brother,  true.  But  KMOX  has  its  own  state — 
a  territory  extending  over  a  radius  of  about  150  miles  in 
all  directions.  It's  a  listening  territory.  Also  a  reading 
territory.  You  see,  the  St.  Louis  Globe-Democrat,  one  of 
the  early  stockholders  in  KMOX.  the  50,000  watt  station 
in  St.  Louis,  Missouri,  originated  the  idea.  That  terri- 
tory was  claimed  as  the  Globe-Democrat  reading  area. 
And  those  are  the  people  who  get  KMOX  best.  Ask  any 
St.  Louisian  about  the  Forty-ninth  State.  He  knows. 

If  you're  curious  about  this  modern,  powerful  station, 
which,  by  the  way,  is  one  of  the  middle  west's  newest 
stations,  I'd  suggest  that  you  visit  it  on  your  next  trip 
to  St.  Louis.  You'll  find  the  studios  in  the  Mart  Build- 
ing on  Twelfth  Boulevard,  and  there's  a  big  room  where 
visitors  may  stand  and  watch  the  broadcasts  through  big 
glass  windows. 

Like  so  many  of  the  newer  stations,  KMOX  is  the  last 
word  in  modern  studios.  Take  a  look  at  the  reception 
room.  There  on  the  walls  are  murals  depicting  the  his- 
tory of  St.  Louis.  That  painting  of  the  airplane  soaring 
over  the  ocean  is  in  memory  of  Col.  Charles  Lindbergh's 
epoc  making  flight.  The  Colonel,  you  recall,  flew  the 
"Spirit  of  St.  Louis,"  and  calls  St.  Louis  his  home  town. 

Down  the  hall  behind  the  hostess  desk  you'll  find  a  row 
of  studios  all  opening  onto  a  long  corridor.    Notice  the 


HAVE  YOU  EVER  HEARD  OF  THE  FORTY-NINTH  STATE.  THE  HOME  OF  KMOX? 


Americas  Great  Stations

control  rooms,  built  like  bay  windows  so  the  engineers 
can  see  every  corner  of  the  studio.  Notice,  too,  the  in- 
direct lighting  which  is  quite  a  help  to  performing  artists. 

FURTHER  down  the  hall  you'll  find  the  big  auditorium. 
From  three  to  five  hundred  people  crowd  into  it  each 
morning  at  the  gosh-awful  hour  of  5  o'clock  to  watch  the 
"Home  Folks  Hour"  broadcast. 

Now  here's  something  that's  new  in  broadcasting. 
KMOX  has  its  organ  console  in  one  studio  and  the  organ 
pipes  in  still  another  room  which  is  a  hundred  feet  away. 
Imagine  the  organist  in  a  room  by  himself  playing  the 
accompaniment  for  a  soloist  who  stands  in  a  sound  proof 
studio  in  another  part  of  the  building!  Well,  KMOX 
does  just  that.  The  organist  hears  the  singer  by  means  of 
a  loud  speaker.  But  here's  the  unusual  thing.  The  an- 
nouncer for  that  program  is  in  a  third  room,  by  him- 
self, where  he  can  hear  the  singer  and  the  organ  only 
through  a  loud  speaker.  And  the  control  engineer  is  way 
off  in  another  part  of  the  building,  listening  in  to  all 
three  with  another  loud  speaker.  Four  studios  for  one 
program.  Why?  Oh,  just  to  be  different.  It's  novelty 
they  want. 

If  you  should  go  up  the  winding  stairs,  you'd  see  a 
setup  not  unlike  Radio  City  itself.  There  are  the  observa- 
tion rooms  where  clients  or  guests  may  sit  behind  glass 
walls  and  watch  broadcasts.  And  sit  in  overstuffed  chairs 
and  divans  with  their  feet  on  carpeted  floors! 

How  did  this  whole  business  of  KMOX  start?  Well, 
it  began  about  ten  years  ago  when  Thomas  Patrick  Con- 


vey had  the  idea  that  St.  Louis  and  the  middle  west  needed 
another  radio  station.  Convey  was  able  to  sell  that  idea 
to  several  leading  organizations  like  the  Globe-Democrat, 
the  Hamilton-Brown  Shoe  Company  and  the  Stark 
Brothers  Nursery.  So  the  St.  Louis  Radio  Trades  Asso- 
ciation was  formed  and  KMOX  went  on  the  air  in  the 
spring  of  1928  as  a  5,000-watt  station. 

THE  Hotel  May  fair  was  a  stockholder  and  KMOX's 
'  three  studios  were  located  in  that  building.  Before 
long,  a  fourth  studio  was  added.  Then  Mr.  Convey  re- 
signed after  about  eight  months  and  Nelson  Darragh 
stepped  in.    By  1928  he  had  secured  control. 

You  should  know,  however,  that  the  Columbia  Broad- 
casting System  had  always  been  interested.  KMOX  was 
one  of  the  twenty  stations  making  up  the  original  CBS 
network.  In  fact,  KMOX  carried  the  first  program  ever 
broadcast  by  the  network  in  1928. 

Columbia  executives  in  New  York  saw  great  possi- 
bilities in  a  powerful  transmitter  on  the  banks  of  the 
Mississippi.  So,  when  KM(  )X  went  to  50,000  watts,  CBS 
helped  foot  the  bill  and  bought  an  interest.  By  May  1, 
1933,  Columbia  had  assumed  full  control. 

Today  there  sits  behind  the  door  labeled  "President"  a 
man  who  knows  radio.  He  knows  it  from  an  entertain- 
ment viewpoint  because  not  so  many  years  ago  he  was  a 
radio  artist,  singing  and  playing  over  .Minneapolis  sta- 
tions. He  knows  it  from  the  advertising  angle,  for  he  was 
an  executive  in  a  big  advertising  agency  which  produces 
some  of  the  air's  best  fare.    (Gontmued  on  page  80)

WHEN  you  hear  the  terse  statement  "This  is  the 
Columbia  Broadcasting  System,"  it  doesn't  neces- 
sarily mean  that  the  program  you  have  just  heard 
came  from  the  stately  studios  of  New  York,  or  the  mod- 
ern new  building  in  Chicago  or  even  the  sun  kissed  micro- 
phones of  California.  At  least  twenty-five  times  a  week 
it  means  KMOX,  the  Voice  of  St.  Louis. 

KMOX  is  an  amazing  station  really.  Surprising  things 
happen  there.  For  instance,  there's  an  advertiser  out  in 
the  middle-west  still  wide-eyed  at  the  results  he  got  when 
lie  placed  a  brief  announcement  on  a  program  which  hit 
the  air  at  the  unholy  hour  of  5.30  in  the  morning. 

And  the  countryside  is  still  jittery  from  the  shock  it 
received  when  it  heard  that,  if  anyone  wished  to  witness 
a  broadcast,  he  would  be  admitted  to  the  studio  if  he 
brought  with  him  a  piece  of  wearable  or  eatable  merchan- 
dise. Imagine  using  baby  shoes,  long  underwear  or  a  can 
of  beans  for  a  ticket !  Things  like  that  happen  at  KMOX. 

If  you  live  in  that  great  territory  where  KMOX  recep- 
tion is  possible,  and  if  you've  ever  been  up  early  enough 
to  see  the  sun  come  up  to  stretch,  then  maybe  you've  heard 
the  "Home  Folks  Hour"  on  this  Missouri  station.  It's 
a  program  that  rides  the  waves  at  5 :30  o'clock  every 
morning  except  Sunday. 

And  believe  it  or  not,  people  from  Missouri  and  Illinois 


flock  to  the  KMOX  studios  to  the  tune  of  500  every  morn- 
ing. How  do  they  do  it?  Well,  those  mid-western  folk, 
especially  on  the  farm,  have  to  get  up  early.  Their  work- 
demands  it.  And  when  they  drive  into  St.  Louis  to  market 
their  produce,  they  go  around  to  KMOX  to  see  the  show. 
They've  told  others,  and  so  the  steady  stream  continues. 

Don't  think  this  is  just  a  novelty  program.  Missourians 
have  to  be  shown,  and  KMOX  does  it  with  ninety  minutes 
of  wholesome  variety.  If  letters  are  any  indication,  listen- 
ers have  put  their  stamp  of  approval  securely  upon  the 
show.  KMOX  is  on  the  air  seventeen  hours  a  day,  but 
"Home  Folks  Hour"  draws  more  mail  than  any  other 
single  program. 

Look  what  happened  last  March  on  this  program. 
And  remember — at  5:30  A.  M. 

The  Interstate  Nurseries  of  Hamburg,  Iowa,  bought  an 
announcement  on  this  program  offering  ten  gladioli  bulbs 
for  twenty-five  cents  postpaid.  And  Uncle  Sam's  letter 
carriers  haven't  gotten  over  the  ordeal  yet.  More  than 
4000  quarters  came  in  response.  The  exact  number  was 
4370  or  an  average  of  146  daily  for  thirty  consecutive 
days.  This  was  a  cash  return  to  the  advertiser  of  $1092.50. 
His  bill  for  the  use  of  KMOX  was  $450. 

But  that  isn't  all  of  the  mail  story.  During  the  same 
month  workers  at  the  Geppert  Studios  of  Des  Moines  had

to  roll  up  their  sleeves  and  work  over  time  just 
because  they  made  an  offer  on  "Home  Folks  Hour" 
to  make  picture  enlargements  at  twenty-five  cents 
each.  Three  short  announcements  weekly — and  before 
6  A.  M. — brought  in  1080  quarters. 

Add  to  that  1700  letters  from  listeners  who  merely 
wanted  to  compliment  the  program.  Mix  in  2000 
more  letters  coming  in  response  to  other  advertise- 
ments on  that  program.  Call  your  totals  and  you'll 
find  there  are  a  lot  of  people  up  and  about  while 
some  of  us  are  snoring  away  the  time. 

"Home  Folks  Hour"  is  a  program  with  some- 
thing popping  every  minute  from  the  time  the  rooster 
crows  until  the  7  o'clock  time  signal  is  given.  There's 
Ken  Wright,  the  young  organist,  who  romps  all  over 
four  keyboards.  There's  a  five-piece  hill  billy  band 
that  does  "Turkey  in  the  Straw"  like  "Turkey  in 
the  Straw"  should  be  done.  Comedians,  singers, 
yodelers,  mandolin  players  and  even  a  little  old  busy- 
body known  as  "Aunt  Sarah"  parade  before  the 
mike. 

This  is  a  program  that  has  done  more  than  mere 
entertaining.  It's  the  one  that  brought  in  five  tons 
of  food,  clothing  and  toys  as  tickets  of  admission.

WALK  into  the  office  of  M.  Sayle  Taylor,  the  Voice  of 
Experience.  The  first  thing  that  catches  your  eye  is  a  set 
of  lovely  alabaster  Italian  eagles  on  his  desk.  Look  down 
— you're  standing  on  a  Persian  prayer  rug,  as  soft  as  silk, 
in  subdued  shades  of  tan  and  maroon  and  gray. 

Come  with  me  to  Jessica  Dragonette's  beautiful  apart- 
ment. On  her  library  table  is  a  crudely  carved  wooden 
inkstand,  simple  and  cheap,  strangely  out  of  keeping  with 
the  rest  of  the  furnishings. 

Visit  almost  any  star's  home.  You'll  see  strange  and 
beautiful  gifts  from  fans,  from  huge  paintings  to  little 
nick-nacks.  Usually  there  is  one  gift  in  particular  that 
each  star  cherishes.  Not  because  of  its  value  in  money, 
but  because  of  the  amazing  tale  behind  it. 

For  instance,  let's  go  back  to  the  alabaster  Italian  eagles. 
They're  fit  to  grace  any  art  collector's  gallery.  The  man 
who  gave  them  to  Dr.  Taylor  had  received  them  from 
one  of  the  reigning  heads  of  Europe. 

Why  were  they  given  to  Dr.  Taylor?  I'll  tell  you.  For 
the  most  heart-rending  of  all  reasons.  Because  the  Voice 
of  Experience  saved  this  man's  sweet  old  mother  from 
heartbreak,  perhaps  even  from  insanity. 

You  see,  it  was  this  way.  Five  years  ago  this  man  was 
worth  sixteen  million  dollars.  He  lived  on  a  gorgeous 
estate  with  his  mother.  Came  the  stock  market  crash,  and 
he  lost  all  his  money.  He  pawned  everything  of.  value  he 
possessed  for  their  living  expenses.  Finally  there  was  no 
money  to  pay  the  rent ;  the  landlord  grew  ugly,  threaten- 
ing. He  was  dispossessing  them,  and  insisted  upon  seizing 
the  genteel  old  lady's  belongings  for  the  money  due  him. 
They  weren't  worth  much  to  anyone — just  an  odd  assort- 
ment of  rings  and  lockets  and  pictures.  But  how  much 
they  meant  to  his  mother!  In  these  evil  days  that  had 
come  upon  her  she  would  finger  these  trinkets  over  and 
over  again,  for  now  she  lived  only  in  her  memories  of 
the  past. 

THE  ex-millionaire  was  afraid  that  if  she  was  deprived 
of  these  heirlooms,  she  might  lose  her  reason.  What 
could  he  do?  He  had  heard  Dr.  Taylor  on  the  air.  This 
man,  he  felt,  was  sympathetic  and  understood  that  people 
did  not  live  by  bread  alone.  It  took  lots  of  nerve,  let  me 
tell  you,  to  go  to  the  Voice  of  Experience  and  ask  for 
charity.  But  he  did  it! 

Dr.  Taylor  spent  $300  from  the  special  radio  fund  he 
has  set  aside  for  such  emergencies  to  pacify  the  landlord. 
He  moved  the  two  people  into  new  quarters,  staked  them 
to  a  few  more  dollars,  and  got  the  ex-millionaire  a  job. 
In  appreciation  the  man  sent  Dr.  Taylor  these  alabaster 
eagles. 

And  now  about  that  prayer  rug  we  walked  over  so 
carelessly.  It  came  from  a  man  who  had  murdered  his 
own  child !  For  sixteen  bleak  years  this  father  had  tossed 
about  on  his  pillow  night  after  night,  unable  to  think  of 
anything  but  his  horrible  crime. 

It  happened  in  Greece  during  the  World  War.  Men 
and  women  everywhere  were  fleeing  from  the  pursuing 
Turks.  To  be  caught  meant  certain  death.  A  small  band 
of  Greeks,  all  neighbors,  managed  to  escape  into  the  hills. 
There  were  grizzled  grandfathers  and  tense  mothers  and 
fathers  in  that  group.  There  were  women  hugging  infants 
to  their  breast.  Their  only  hope  of  salvation  lay  in  flight 
across  the  border. 

In  this  group  were  Mr.  X.,  his  wife,  and  his  young 
son.  Slinking  in  dark  caverns  by  day,  fleeing  by  night, 
this  band  gradually  drew  near  its  goal.  But  a  new  prob- 
lem arose.  Soon  there  was  no  food  at  all,  and  the  babies 
and  children  began  to  scream  in  hunger. 

The  men  shivered.  They  knew  what  this  meant.  Cer- 
tain death  for  all  of  them.  Or  else.  .  .  . 

One  of  them  voiced  the  thought  that  was  in  all  their 
minds : 

"The  Turks  will  surely  hear  (Continued  on  page  85)

But  isn't  it  odd  how  the  whole  mat- 
ter of  Joe's  climb  came  about?  Less 
than  ten  months  ago.  he  was  singing 
vocals  with  George  Olsen's  orchestra 
at  the  Hotel  Pennsylvania  in  New 
York.  Then  along  came  Billy  Hill's 
song,  "The  Last  Round-Up,"  which 
was  intended  for  the  Ziegfeld  Follies 
but  which,  by  mere  chance,  Joe  first 
sang  over  the  air.  As  that  song 
caught  on,  so  did  Joe.  Paramount 
featured  him  on  its  Broadway  stage, 
then  signed  him  for  pictures.  In  the 
meantime,  everyone  has  forgotten 
that  there  ever  was  written  such  a 
song  as  "The  Last  Round-Up. "

Mort  always  puts  away  from  two  to 
six  ice  cream  sodas  a  day.  Recently, 
however,  Barney  McDevitt,  Mort's

1.  Do  not  ask  for  personal  replies  to  their  questions. 

2.  Do  not  ask  for  the  addresses  of  radio  artists. 

3.  Do  not  ask  about  non  network  stars.

that  is.)

Phillips.  Then  again,  the  sketches  are  written  by  one 
Irna  Phillips.  So  there  you  are.  Eileen  Moran  is  played 
by  Ireene  Wicker,  and  Bob  is  Walter  Wicker,  her  husband 
in  real  life. 

Q.   Are  Marion  and  Jim  Jordan  engaged? 

A.   No,  that's  all  over.    They're  married  now. 

Q.  At  least  fifty-one  people  believe  your  Uncle  when 
he  says  that  the  questions  asked  the  most  number  of  times 
are  the  ones  that  will  be  answered.  That  number  of 
people  signed  Miss  Matilda  Landsman's  plea  to  know  more 
about  Eddie  Duchin. 

A.  Matilda  and  Company,  if  you'd  had  one  more 
person  asking  about  Duchin,  I  could  have  answered  it. 
I  could  have  told  you  that  he  was  born  and  brought  up 
in  Boston,  Massachusetts.  I  could  say  that  his  drug  store 
chain  owning  father  intended  that  he  should  be  a  pharma- 
cist. I  could  write  that  he  got  his  start  when  he  organized 
a  three-piece  orchestra,  consisting  of  a  saxophone,  piano 
and  fiddle,  at  a  summer  camp  where  he  worked.  I  might 
even  tell  you  that  in  the  summer  of  his  junior  year  at 
Pharmacy  College,  Eddie  won  an  audition  with  Leo 
Reisman  and  played  with  him  at  the  old  Waldorf  Astoria 
in  New  York  and  later  at  the  Central  Park  Casino.  It 
was  there,  while  tables  full  of  adoring  debutantes  looked 
at  this  handsome  young  musician  that  his  piano  playing 
became  so  popular  he  was  given  an  opportunity  to  lead 
his  own  orchestra  there.  Yes,  and  I  could  have  said  that 
he  is  tall,  dark  and  handsome,  but  I  don't  think  I'd  have 
mentioned  the  fact  that  he  swears  he  is  a  confirmed  bache- 
lor. I  might  have  disappointed  too  many  of  you.  But 
then,  since  you  haven't  quite  enough  names,  Matilda,  I 
can't  write  anything  at  all. 

Q.  Caught  you  fibbing  again,  Unkie.  You  said  Little

Editor.  Radio  Stars

Dear  Friend : — 

Every  month  I  read  your  magazine,  which  I  think  is 
the  best  radio  magazine  published.  It  certainly  has  some 
swell  stories  in  it  and  I  can't  hardly  wait  to  get  it  each 
time  it  is  printed. 

Now  I  wonder  if  you  would  do  a  little  favor  for  me. 
A  fellow  like  you  must  certainly  have  some  "drag"  with 
the  radio  stations  and  it  wouldn't  he  any  trouble  for  you 
to  get  me  a  couple  of  tickets  to  a  broadcast.  I  would  much 
rather  have  the  tickets  for  a  Radio  City  broadcast,  as  I 
would  also  like  to  see  Radio  City.  So  would  you  please 
send  me  two  tickets  for  the  Chase  &  Sanborn  program 
for  next  Sunday  night  ? 

Very  truly  yours, 

Stanley  Nelson.

Dear  Mr.  Nelson  : 

I  am  very  sorry  that  I  cannot  comply  with  your  request 


for  tickets  to  a  broadcast,  but  so  many  readers  write  let- 
ters similar  to  yours  that  it  would  be  impossible  to  take- 
care  of  them  all.  My  suggestion  is  that  you  write  directly 
to  the  National  Broadcasting  Co..  30  Rockefeller  Plaza. 
N.  Y.  C,  ot  the  Columbia  Broadcasting  System.  485 
Madison  Ave.,  N.  Y.  C,  and  request  tickets  from  them. 

Very  truly  yours,

Dear  Friend  : — 

Well.  Mr.  Mitchell,  your  idea  of  writing  to  the  broad- 
casting companys  was  not  so  "hot".  Like  you  said,  I  wrote 
a  letter  to  the  National  Broadcasting  Company  and  said, 
"Would  it  be  possible  for  me  to  get  a  pair  of  tickets  for 
the  Chase  &  Sanborn  program?  If  so  may  I  have  them 
for  the  soonest  possible  Sunday  night  ?" 

Well,  I  sent  them  that  letter,  Mr.  Mitchell,  and  then 
I  just  sat  and  sat  and  waited  and  waited. 

Finally  I  got  an  answer.  They  didn't  bother  sending 
me  a  letter.  They  just  sent  me  a  printed  card  saying.  "We 
appreciate  your  desire  to  attend  a  broadcast  and  regret 
that  it  is  impossible  to  comply  with  your  request  for

of  the  TWl, 


IT  iook  a  visit  to  the  home  of  Wilfred  Glenn,  basso 
of  the  Revelers,  to  show  me  that  the  greatest  in- 
vention was  not  the  radio,  nor  the  steam  shovel,  nor 
the  submarine,  nor  the  harvesting 
machine. 

No  joking,  folks,  science's 
greatest  gift  to  mankind  is  the 
lowly  tin  can. 

After  the  dinner  Mrs.  Glenn 
set  before  us,  no  one  could  dis- 
prove this.  And  it  suddenly  oc- 
curred to  me  that  many  of  you 
may  not  know  about  some  of  the 
wonders  that  come  in  cans.  Such 
things  as  cakes  ready  to  add  milk 
and  put  into  the  oven.  Roasts  that 
take  less  than  fifteen  minutes  to 
cook  and  serve.  Every  conceiv- 
able kind  of  soup  and  vegetables, 
all  fruits  and  juices.  Besides 
jars  of  olives,  spices  and  sauces, 
relishes,  pickles,  all  shapes,  sizes 
and  kinds,  conserves,  preserves 
and  hor  d'oeuvres. 

Bill  Glenn  was  once  actually 
noted  for  making  a  nuisance  of 
himself — and  I  have  this  from  no 

less  an  authority  than  his  wife — by  his  hobby  in  kitchen 
concoctions.  Along  Radio  Row  he  is  known  for  the 
strange  and  wondrous  dishes  that  suddenly  appeared  after 
he  went  through  long,  elaborate  and  mysterious  rites

behind  a  stove.  Everyone  was  welcome  at  the  Glenn 
domicile  to  partake  and  praise. 

That  was  quite  all  right,  says  his  Missus.  Guests  are  a 
pleasure,  but  Bill  was  not  always 
at  home  to  greet  them  in  his 
white  starchy  apron.  And  more 
than  once  his  frau  had  been  put 
on  the  spot,  for  she  doesn't  boast 
her  husband's  skill  in  his  self- 
imposed  art. 

This  went  on  for  years,  but 
now,  she  tells  me,  her  problems 
are  solved.  No  unexpected  guest, 
be  it  the  president  of  NBC  him- 
self, can  jolt  her  into  a  dither. 
For  when  said  guest  arrives  at

YOU  may  have  thrilled  the  lifeguard  at  the  beach 
this  past  summer,  but  it  would  be  a  hart!  job  to 
turn  that  young  man's  head  in  the  cool,  clear  light 
of  an  autumn  day,  for  while  you  may  still  boast 
your  nymph-like  figure,  your  hair  Jooks  like  the 
top  of  a  faded  haystack  and  your  glorious  sun-tan  is 
fast  becoming  sallow-tan.  After  being  buttoned  up  in 
fall  frocks  for  a  week  or  so,  your  face  takes  on  one 
shade  and  your  neck,  arms  and  shoulders  several  others, 
until  you  are  ready  to  give  up  in  despair  when  you  slip 
into  an  evening  gown. 

Well,  first  of  all,  let's  consider  your  hair  after  the 
summer  sun.  Some  of  you  have  been  telling  me  that 
you  just  can't  do  anything  with  it.  But  you  can,  and 
quickly  get  it  hack  to  normal,  besides  enhancing  its  natu- 
ral l>eauty. 

What  your  hair  needs  more  than  anything  is  plenty  of 


oil  and  attention  to  remedy  what  the  sun  has  done  to  it. 
Get  any  good  oil.  Warm  it  and  then  rub  thoroughly  into 
the  scalp.  If  your  hair  is  discolored  and  streaked  and 
the  ends  are  brittle  and  split,  apply  the  oil  to  the  hair 
itself. 

After  the  scalp  and  hair  are  saturated,  steam  with 
Turkish  towels  wrung  out  in  very  hot  water.  This  opens 
the  pores  and  lets  the  oil  penetrate.  After  the  third  hot 
towel,  massage  the  scalp.  Begin  at  the  base  of  the  skull. 
Place  fingertips  of  both  hands  on  the  head  and  with  a 
rotary  movement  of  each  finger  move  and  twist  the  seal]). 
Do  this  until  the  scalp  feels  loose,  then  steam  with  sev- 
eral more  towels.  '  Now  wrap  the  head  carefully  in  a  dry 
towel  and  hop  into  bed.  The  next  morning,  shampoo, 
washing  with  three  or  four  soapings  and  at  least  half  a 
dozen  rinsings.  Be  sure  to  get  every  speck  of  soap  out 
of  the  hair.    If  it  squeaks  when  (Continued  on  page  82)

■  Before  her  marriage  to  the 
grandnephew  of  Marshall 
Field,  the  founder  of  the  family, 
Mrs.  Henry  Field  went  to  school 
tn  Washington,  in  Switzerland, 
and  in  England.  She  collects 
French  and  American  contempo- 
rary paintings,  she  writes,  she 
plays,  she  is  keenly  interested  in 
the  theatre,  and  she  prefers  trav- 
eling by  air.  She  loves  to  dance, 
goes  constantly  to  balls  and  par- 
ties, and  always  smokes  Camel 
cigarettes.

main  reason  I  like  Camels  so  much  better  than 


"Th 

other  cigarettes  is  because  they  taste  better,"7  says  Mr.-. 
Field.  "I  can  smoke  as  many  as  I  want  because  they  are 
mihl  and  don't  make  my  nerves  jumpy.  I  find,  when  I 
am  tired,  that  smoking  a  Camel  renews  my  energy,  gives 
me  a  'lift.'  " 

Camel  smokers  have  noticed  for  a  long  time  that  they 
do  get  an  increase  in  their  flow  of  energy  from  Camels. 
This  release  of  vour  latent  energy  is  produced  by  Camels 
in  a  wholly  safe  and  natural  way.  So.  whenever  you  feel 
tired— smoke  a  mild,  fragrant,  refreshing  Camel.

Have  Dainty  Legs

MAKE  UGLY  LEG  &  ARM  HAIR 

INVISIBLE  with  A 


""TNARK  hair  on  arms  and  legs  used 
to  drive  me  to  tears,"  writes 
a  woman.  "I  shaved  it  off.  I  tried 
rubbing  it  off  with  a  sand  paper 
gadget.  But  back  it  grew  every 
time,  coarser  and  blacker  than  ever. 
On  a  friend's  advice,  I  used 
Marchand's  Golden  Hair  Wash.  (It 
actually  made  the  hair  invisible.) 
Everything  you  say  about  it  is  true. 
I  have  no  more  worries  about  re- 
growths  or  skin  irritations.  I'm  not 
afraid  to  show  off  my  arms  and 
legs  now!" 

Just  another  case  of  a  girl  who 
tried  to  stop  natural  hair  growth, 
but  only  stimulated  it  instead. 
Nature  won't  let  you  destroy  hair 
growth.  But  nature  will  let  you 
take  the  blackness,  the  real  ugliness 
out  of  excess  hair.  Marchand's 
Golden  Hair  Wash  makes  it  like  the 
light,  unnoticeable  down  on  the 
blonde. 

Easy,  safe  to  do  at  home.  Excess 
hair  stays  invisible  indefinitely. 
Takes  only  20-30  minutes.  Inex- 
pensive. Refuse  substitutes  if  you 
want  the  results.  Get  genuine 
Marchand's  Golden  Hair  Wash.

Food  Fit  for  Kings  of  the  Air 


(Continued  from  page  64) 


a  good  beginning  promises  a  similar  end- 
ing. Inject  a  dash  of  color  and  charm  into 
the  menus,  linens  and  china. 

Fruit  juices  (no,  you  don't  have  to 
squeeze  any  more),  tomato  and  kraut  juice 
awakens  the  appetite.  Followed  with,  say, 
muffins  with  jam,  jelly  or  marmalade  and 
a  beverage — and  the  breakfast  is  on. 

BY  the  way,  don't  hesitate  on  hurried 
week-day  mornings  to  tackle  muffins, 
biscuits,  waffles,  flap-jacks  and  quick 
breads,  for  now  all  you  have  to  do  is  add 
milk  or  water  to  flours  already  prepared 

Not  many  of  us  have  difficulty  with 
luncheons,  for  a  hot  dish  and  a-  salad  is 
sure  to  satisfy.  Macaroni  in  green  peppers, 
or  spaghetti  in  pimento  cups  are  simple  to 
prepare  and  nourishing,  too.  Ramekins  of 
hot  baked  beans,  creamed  vegetables,  or  a 
creamed  soup  also  take  care  of  the  hot 
dish.  Vegetable  plates  are  becoming  more 
and  more  popular.  Can  you  think  of  any- 
thing more  attractive  than  sauted  mush- 
rooms, green  asparagus,  yellow  kernel 
corn,  brussels  sprouts  or  cabbage,  and  diced 
beets?  Or  mashed  potatoes,  spinach,  to- 
matoes, carrots  and  peas?  There  are  any 
number  of  combinations. 

It's  dinner  that  is  apt  to  prove  a  Water- 
loo. It's  a  good  idea  to  plan  the  first  course 
as  a  special  surprise  each  evening.  One 
night  serve  cocktails  of  juices — fruit,  clam, 
tomato,  kraut.  Another  time  have  crab, 
oyster  or  clam  cocktails  with  piquant 
sauces.  For  the  next  dinner,  serve  canapes 
They  can  be  spread  with  almost  any  kind 
of  butters,  pastes,  garnishes  and  relish 
And  what  is  ever  so  exciting  as  a  large 
platter  of  hors  d'oeuvre?  Dabs  of  left- 
overs will  supply  these.  You  can  serve 
canapes  with  them  if  you  like.  Remember 
to  marinate  all  the  vegetables. 

Suggestions  for  hors  d'oeuvre  are  hearts 
of  artichokes,  asparagus  tips,  little  pickled 
beets,  cauliflower,  balls  or  cubes  of  ali- 
gator  pear,  hard  cooked  eggs,  green  and 
ripe  olives,  stuffed  and  plain,  radishes, 
pickled  onions,  anchovies,  smoked  salmon, 
tomatoes,  and  garnishes  of  chopped  par- 
sley, water  cress,  chives  and  pimiento.  And 
would  you  believe  it,  these  are  only  a  few 
which  you  will  discover  for  yourself  when 
you  begin  to  think  about  hors  d'oeuvre. 

When  it  comes  to  soups — there  is  every 
conceivable  kind  on  the  market  with  many 
new  and  delicious  consommes  that  can  be 
served  hot  or  jellied. 

For  the  main  course,  I  find  it  simplest 
when  unexpected  guests  arrive,  to  choose 
a  fowl  or  ham  all  ready  prepared,  which 
can  be  quickly  heated  and  garnished  to 
suit  the  individual  taste.  Fish  ready  to 
serve,  or  various  potted  and  deviled  meats 
also  fill  the  need.  Choose  the  vegetables 
with  an  eye  to  the  color  and  thought  of 
the  combination  of  flavors.

Just  in  case  you  haven't  a  recipe  for  pie 
crust   handy,   here   is   an   excellent   one : 

2l/2  cups  sifted  cake  flour 
l/2  teaspoon  salt 
2/i  cup  cold  shortening 
Y3  cup  cold  water 

Sift  the  flour  once.  Then  measure,  add 
salt  and  sift  again.  Cut  in  shortening 
until  pieces  are  about  the  size  of  small 
peas.  Add  water  (preferably  ice  water), 
a  very  small  amount  at  a  time,  mixing 
lightly  with  a  fork  only  enough  to  make 
flour  hold  together.  Continue  until  all 
flour  is  mixed  in  separate  portions, 
neither  sticky  nor  crumbly.  Handle  as 
little  as  possible.  Wrap  in  waxed  paper, 
press  together,  flattening  slightly,  and 
chill  thoroughly  before  rolling.  Roll  out 
on  a  slightly  floured  board  to  %  inch 
thickness.  Bake  in  a  hot  oven  (450°F.) 
for  15  minutes.  Make  enough  pastry  for 
one  9  inch  two-crust  pie.  Use  one-half 
of  the  recipe  for  one  pie  shell. 

Important  secrets  to  achieve  tender  pie 
crust  are  to  have  your  ingredients  icy  cold, 
chill  the  dough  before  rolling,  and  to 
handle  just  as  little  as  possible.  A  hint  to 
beginning  cooks :  Roll  the  chilled  pastry 
two  inches  larger  than  the  pie  tin  to  allow 
for  sinking  down  into  the  tin  and  for  mak- 
ing the  fold  at  the  edge. 

I'd  like  to  remark  that  if  your  oven 
hasn't  a  thermometer  that  you  can  get  a 
reliable  little  one  at  the  Five  and  Ten. 
Remember  that  success  in  bakery  depends 
to  a  great  extent  on  the  temperature  of

There  are  many  ready  desserts.  Gelatine 
is  always  a  sure  bet,  because  you  can  dress 
it  up  so  attractively.  As  one  woman  says, 
"You  can  have  a  lot  of  fun  giving  it 
something  to  wiggle  on  and  at  the  same 
time  crowning  it."  If  you  know  your  fruits, 
you  know  the  secret.  Some  sink,  others 
float.  Here  are  the  sinking  ones :  canned 
cherries,  Maraschino  cherries  and  peaches, 
pineapple,  raspberries,  blackberries,  and 
apricots,  all  canned  and  stewed  prunes. 
Floating  crowns  are  broken  nuts,  diced 
apples,  sections  of  fresh  grapefruit  and 
orange,  sliced  bananas,  marshmallows,  fresh 
strawberries  and  fresh  diced  pears. 

Tapiocas  and  custards  are  other  success- 
ful quickies.  And  all  of  you  have  probably 
used  the  special  cake  flours  that  assure 
success  in  baking.  Not  only  are  there  these, 
but  there  are  others  that  merely  require  the 
addition  of  wet  ingredients  such  as  eggs 
and  milk. 

CRUIT  salads  all  ready  mixed  can  take 
'    the  place  of  both  salad  and  dessert.

Have  you  ever  glanced  through  one  of 
these  booklets?  Well,  there  are  many  ways 
to  serve  one  can  of  food.  Not  that  you 
have  to  toil  over  preparation,  for  you  can 
open  the  can  and  serve  the  contents  as  is. 
But  the  various  ways  to  make  them  differ- 
ent, in  practically  no  time  at  all,  just  goes 
to  show  you  the  time,  wisdom  and  effort 
that  has  gone  into  the  creation  of  one 
canned  product.  And  there  are  endless 
varieties  of  food,  foods  packed  full  of 
vitamines  and  minerals  for  which  every- 
body is  searching. 

VOU  can  depend  on  manufacturers  to  co- 
operate to  achieving  health.  First  of  all 
the  foods,  whether  string  beans  or  hams- 
to-be,  are  raised  in  the  best  territory  suit- 
able for  their  particular  production. 

Immediately  on  being  gathered  they  are 
taken  to  the  factory.  Few  hands  handle 
them  and  no  time  is  allowed  for  drooping 
and  wilting  which  happens  to  so  much  fresh 
produce  that  comes  to  our  kitchens.  At 
the  factory  all  the  food  undergoes  a  rigid 
inspection  for  uniformity,  color,  nutritious 
value  and  general  wholesomeness. 

Then  under  scrupulous  care  they  are  pre- 
pared for  canning,  far  safer  than  any  we 
can  do  at  home  for  there  is  never  any  pro- 
longed or  over-heating  to  destroy  vitamins, 
colors  and  flavors. 

With  scientific  exactness,  each  and  every 
food  is  canned.  And  then  within  a  few 
minutes  after  opening,  it  comes  to  our 
tables  delicious  and  beneficial.  What's  more, 
the  fragrant  aromas  do  not  disappoint — as 
they  often  have  a  way  of  doing  when  the 
housewife  prepares  raw  vegetables.  Uni- 
formity and  unmatched  standard  is  what 
reliable  manufacturers  boast. 

Women  are  finally  becoming  tin  can 
minded  so  even  the  can  opener  has  come 
in  for  its  share  of  improvement.  You  used 
to  have  to  pump  a  blunt  piece  of  steel  up 
and  down,  sawing  around  the  top  of  a  can. 
Today,  with  a  few  turns  of  a  little  handle, 
the  entire  top  of  the  can  is  removed. 

It  occurred  to  me  that  perhaps  some  of 
you  may  not  know  the  contents  of  the 
various  size  cans.  No.  1  size  holds  V/3 
cups  ;  No.  2— 2Y2  cups ;  No.  2l/2— 3Y2  cups  ; 
No.  3 — 4  cups.  Thus  you  can  avoid  waste 
and  left-overs  by  choosing  the  one  that 
will  fit  the  recipes  and  your  families' 
appetites. 

Nowadays,  wise  timing  in  the  kitchen 
gives  us  more  time  for  recreation.  It  les- 
sens irritation  and  nervous  strain  from 
fatigue,  because  we  get  a  chance  to  rest. 

In  summing  up.  you  know  that  the  health 
and  therefore  the  happiness  of  your  family 
depends,  to  a  great  extent,  on  the  whole- 
some, delicious  foods  attractively  served 
to  them  by  you

MY  RECIPE  IS- GET 
FRANCO- AMERICAN  SPA6HE1 
ALL  READY  PREPARED, 
JUST  HEAT  AND  SERVE.  NO 
WORK  AT  ALL -AND  A  FAR 
BETTER  SAUCE  THAN 
I  COULD  MAKE 


I  was  proud  of  my  spaghetti 
but  this  kind  beats  mine 


— and  what  a  lot  of  work  I'm  saved!" 


M 


Y  FRIENDS  SAY  I'm  a  good  cook. 

I  think  too  much  of  my  family 

to  serve  ready-cooked  food  purely  for 

my  own  convenience.  But,  frankly,  all 

of  us  prefer  Franco- American  Spaghetti 

to  the  spaghetti  I  used  to 

make.  So  I  use  Franco-Ameri- 
11 

can  now. 

To  make  spaghetti  a  la 
Milanaise  as  Franco-Ameri- 
can chefs  prepare  it,  you'd 
need  eleven  different  ingre- 
dients for  the  sauce.  Plump, 
juicy  tomatoes.  Zestful  old 


Cheddar  cheese.  A  long  list  of  season- 
ings. You'd  have  to  stir,  taste  and  watch 
constantly.  Why  go  to  all  this  bother? 
Franco-American  requires  no  cooking 
or  fussing.  You  simply  heat  and  serve. 

Why  not  order  from  your 
grocer  today?  One  taste  will 
tell  you  how  different  Franco- 
American  is  from  ordinary 
ready-cooked  spaghetti.Truly 
economical,  too.  A  generous 
can  holding  three  to  four 
portions  costs  only  ten 


cents.

(Continued 

when  shortly  after  the  Coolidges  moved 
into  the  White  House,  Dick  Leibert  be- 
came what  amounts  to  concert  master  to 
the  President.  It  gave  him  the  contacts 
and  publicity  which,  coupled  with  his  new 
found  capacities,  brought  him  to  New 
York  as  the  Kadio  City  organist. 

Today  he  is  probably  the  hardest  worker 
in  radio.  He  plays  the  organ  for  four  and 
sometimes  five  shows  at  the  Radio  City 
Theatre  in  addition  to  his  broadcasts  at 
eight  o'clock  in  the  morning  and  in  the 
afternoons  and  in  the  evenings.  Sunday 
is  the  same  as  any  other  day.  A  fifteen- 
hour  day  is  nothing  in  the  life  of  this 
young  Apollo.  Five  hours  sleep  is  all  he 
gets. 

That  early  morning  broadcast  is  still 
another  example  of  Dick's  uncanny  gift 
for  finding  a  four-leaf  clover  in  the  mud. 
You'd  think  he'd  hate  it,  getting  up  early 
after  a  short  sleep,  rushing  -over  to  the 
studio  with  a  breakfast  grouch,  but  he 
loves  it. 

"There's  no  broadcast  I  like  better,"  he 
says.  "I  sit  at  the  console  high  up  in 
the  studio  building  and  see  the  people 
scrubbing  their  teeth,  getting  the  children 
off  to  school,  driving  to  the  station,  scrap- 
ping with  their  wives,  and  I  play  to  them 
all." 


from  page  25) 

Y  ET,  he's  a  modest,  retiring  young  fel- 
low. His  great  passions,  apart  from 
music  and  his  wife  and  child,  are  golf 
and  fishing.  Golf  clubs  and  fishing  tackle 
stand  side  by  side  in  a  corner  of  his  Kadio 
City  office. 

Hlus'rative  of  his  modesty  are  the  things 
he  said  when  Roxy  gave  him  the  job  play- 
ing the  $250,000  Kadio  City  organ,  largest 
in  the  world:  "I  kept  my  mouth  shut  be- 
cause 1  was  afraid  I'd  say  the  wrong  thing. 
I  let  him  do  the  talking.  It  was  the  reali- 
zation of  the  dream  of  a  lifetime  for  I 
had  always  wanted  to  play  the  organ 
in  the  old  Roxy."  He  got  more  than 
that. 

Of  all  the  stories  of  the  Leibert  luck, 
the  story  of  his  marriage  is  the  best.  They 
fell  in  love  when  she  was  fourteen  and  he 
was  eighteen.  She  was  the  daughter  of 
Representative  James  V.  McClintic  of 
Oklahoma,  he  the  son  of  a  Bethlehem 
business  man  who  played  the  trombone. 
Having  fallen  in  love  they  ran  away  and 
got  married,  but  the  families  got  together 
and  had  the  marriage  annulled. 

How's  that  for  a  bad  start?  But  five 
years  later,  the  two  kids  were  still  in  love 
and  ran  off  and  did  it  all  over  again,  this 
time  to  the  delight  of  both  clans. 


You  Can't  Out-Shout  Death 


(Continued  from  page  36) 


He  wasn't  happy  in  his  job,  a  job  good 
enough  as  jobs  for  boys  under  twenty  go  in 
a  small  town,  but  was  there  any  future 
in  it?  Furthermore  the  choirmaster  of  the 
church  in  which  he  sang  began  urging  that 
he  have  his  voice  trained. 

It  was  all  very  confusing.  After  all  did 
a  young  man  engaged  to  be  married  have 
any  right  to  give  up  a  job  and  risk  what 
little  he  had  saved  on  something  which 
might  prove  a  wild  goose  chase? 

Conrad  and  Madeleine  talked  things 
over  and  he  gave  up  his  job.  With  the 
little  he  had  saved  he  set  out  for  New 
York.  Can't  you  just  hear  the  talk  this 
caused?  Can't  you  just  imagine  the  tight- 
lipped  disapproval?  Madeleine  came  in 
for  her  share  of  it  too.  "You'd  actually 
think,"  they  said  "the  way  she  goes  around 
smiling,  that  a  beau  giving  up  his  job 
and  leaving  you  to  run  away  to  New  York 
was  something  to  be  proud  about." 

Conrad  fou»id  work  as  a  floor-walker 
in  New  York.  He  lived  in  a  small  fur- 
nished room  and  ate  meagre  table  d'hotes. 

CYERY  day  he  and  Madeleine  wrote 
each  other  long  letters.  Once  in  a 
while  he  was  able  to  go  to  Northampton 
for  a  week-end.  But  not  often.  It  was 
then  that  Conrad  suddenly  seemed  to  sense 
that  the  years  he  and  Madeleine  would 
have  together  would  be  too  few  as  it  was. 
No  longer  was  he  willing  to  wait. 

"Well,"  said  the  home  town,  "that 
Thibault  boy  certainly  seems  set  upon 
ruining  his  life.  Wouldn't  he  get  married 
now  and  tie  himself  down!  Now  of  all 
times !  When  it  began  to  look  as  if,  in 
time,  with  study,  his  voice  really  would 


amount     to     something     really  great 

"We  eloped,"  Conrad  told  me. 

"When  we  reached  the  marriage  licens 
bureau  it  was  closed.  But  we  finally  di 
covered  a  little  light  in  a  rear  windo 
and  we  pounded  on  the  door  until  a  ma 
let  us  in.  We  took  the  license  he  gav 
us  to  a  priest  I  knew  uptown  and  wer 
married  that  same  night.  It  was  Thanks 
giving  Eve  .  .  ." 

A  fitting  time  for  this  marriage  to  tak 
place,  in  spite  of  all  the  disapprovin 
tongues,  for  during  the  seven  years  it  laste 
it    was    often    cause    for  thanksgiving 

Madeleine  had  understanding.  It  ws 
Madeleine  who  insisted  Conrad  accept  tl 
scholarship  at  the  Curtis  Institute  of  Mus: 
in  Philadelphia.  Madeleine  remained  i 
Northampton  and  took  a  job. 

"I  didn't  always  eat,"  Conrad  will  te 
you  with  a  slow,  reminiscent  smile,  "but  | 
always  managed  to  have  the  railroad  fa 
to  Northampton  ready  in  case  a  few  fr 
days  came  along."  This  went  on  f 
a  long,  lonely  year.  And  brought  Conr; 
Thibault  to  his  fourth  decision,  the  mo 
momentous  decision  of  all.  By  continuii 
at  Curtis  he  stood  every  chance  of  co 
siderable  success  in  the  musical  worl 
but  he  doubted  that  any  success  could 
worth  the  loneliness  and  heartache  he  ai 
Madeleine  were  experiencing. 

QUITE  frankly  he  told  the  Board 

Directors  how  he  felt.  Unless  it  w 
possible  for  him  to  have  his  wife  wi 
him  he  would  not  stick  it.  He  had, 
explained,  had  several  radio  offers. 

"Thibault's  completely  mad!"  croak 
the    croakers.     "Can    you    imagine  h

I— XEPX,    at    Piedras    Xegras,  Mexico 
I  (with  remote  control  broadcasting  studios 
Ion  this  side  of  the  line  at  Eagle  Pass. 
I  Texas),  concluded   to   cash   in   on  such 
^remaining  time  as  was  vouchsafed  before 
the  new  laws  went  into  effect.    Three  other 
spooks  were  engaged:  Brandon,  "Man  of 
Destiny,"  an   astrologer ;   Ethel  Duncan, 
the  "Good  Samaritan,"  a  seeress  somewhat 
jon  the  order  of  Norman   himself;  and 
Marjah,   a   mysterious,   Hindoo   type  of 
mentalist.    Mr.  Norman  resented  the  in- 
trusion of  all  this  competition.    The  new- 
comers might  be  Indian  princes,  or  sec- 
ond sighters  or  seventh  sons  of  seventh 
sons,  but  Gayle  did  not  care  what  they 
were  sons  of ;  they  were  poaching  on  his 
particular  psychic  preserves. 

He  informed  the  station  owners  that  if 
the  intruding  spooks  continued  on  the  air, 
XEPX  would  be  closed  by  the  Mexican 
government  not  later  than  the  middle  of 
March,  and  would  remain  closed  until  the 
contracts  of  the  other  spooks  were  can- 
celled and  his  own  contract  renewed.  The 
owners  scoffed  at  such  a  prediction.  Their 
spooks  were  engaged  to  minister  to  the 
superstitions  of  their  audiences,  not  to 
put  any  "hoodoos"  on  the  station  itself. 
Plenty  of  red  tape  lay  ahead,  before  Mex- 
ico would  be  ready  to  act  on  the  new 
laws,  just  then  being  discussed,  relative 
to  border  stations  licensed  by  the  Mexican 
government.  Besides,  XEPX  had  inside 
connections  in  Mexico  City.  Mr.  Nor- 
man, however,  made  his  preparations  to 
leave  for  Kentucky  during  the  enforced 
shut-down  which  he  had  predicted. 

QX  March  15th,  Mexican  officials  or- 
w  dered  XEPN  off  the  air.  XER,  the 
station  owned  and  operated  by  Dr.  John 
Brinkley,  of  rejuvenation  fame,  had  al- 
ready been  closed  because  Dr.  Brinkley's 
broadcasts  conflicted  with  medical  laws  of 
the  Republic  of  Mexico.  XEXT,  at  La- 
redo, was  just  opening,  with  a  less  power- 
ful wattage  than  the  older  stations. 
XEAW.  at  Reynosa,  was  closed  for  re- 
pairs and  internal  changes. 

XEAW,  which,  by  the  way,  is  having 
its  call  letters  changed  to  XEM,  is  sched- 
uled to  open  again  early  in  July,  with 
Ethel  Duncan,  the  Good  Samaritan,  occu- 
pying its  chair  of  psychology.

'T  HAVE  found  a  marvelous  toothpaste  that  costs  only 
JL  10c  for  a  tube  as  big  as  the  regular  2  5e  size — and  it 
lasts  me  more  than  a  month!"  You  can  have  teeth  so 
white  that  they  sparkle  and  save  up  to  S5  a  year  by 
merely  asking  for  Kay  Milk  of  Magnesia  Toothpaste 
at  any  Kresge  store.  It  is  the  choice  of  hundreds  of 
thousands  who  want  just  the  kind  of  tooth  protection 
that  Kay  Toothpaste  gives. 

Containing  over  50%  milk  of  magnesia,  Kay  Tooth- 
paste fights  the  acid  that  is  so  ruinous  to  brilliant  teeth. 
Leading  dental  books  agree  that  tooth  decay  begins 
with  acidity.  Kay  proves  that  a  toothpaste  need  not  be 
expensive  to  keep  teeth  clean  and  sparkling.  No  tooth- 
paste contains  finer  cleansing  and  polishing  ingre- 
dients, free  from  grit,  than  Kay. 

If  you  have  been  waiting  for  cut-rate  toothpaste 
sales,  you  need  wait  no  longer.  Kay  Toothpaste,  in  a 
tube  as  large  as  the  oruinary  2  5e  size,  is  only  10c  at 
any  time  in  any  Kresge  store.  You  can  also  buy  Kay

for  only  20c.  Ask  for  it  by  name ;  identify  it  by  the  red,

All  the  rival  spooks  have  filtered  out  of

Man  of  Destiny,  and  Gayle  Norman 
"foresees"  his  early  egress.  Mr.  Norman 
has  returned  from  Kentucky  to  resume 
his  sway  at  XEPN.  Whether  the  return 
of  the  prodigal  spook  at  this  time  is  due 
to  the  fact  that  he  dropped  his  hank  roll 
at  the  Derby  and  desires  to  replenish  it, 
or  to  some  occult  assurance  that  the  con- 
ditions of  his  prediction  are  about  to  be 
fulfilled  and  XEPN  is  about  to  reopen 
with  himself  as  the  station's  sole  men- 
talist,  is  also  a  question  which  only  a

undertook  to  make  Christmas  a  bit  more 
joyous  for  a  group  of  several  hundred 
unfortunates  in  the  Ozark  Mountains  of 
Missouri  who  eke  out  an  existence  by 
digging  a  rapidly  diminishing  mineral 
known  as  "tiff."  Saturday,  December  16, 
was  set  aside  as  "Tiff  Day"  and  KMOX 
listeners  were  invited  to  come  to  the  studio 
that  morning  for  a  special  show,  the  ad- 
mission being  a  piece  of  merchandise. 

By  4 :30  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  the 
16th,  the  KMOX  studios  began  to  fill,  and 
when  the  show  started  at  5  :30,  there  were 
1200  people  crowded  into  the  little  audi- 
torium built  for  500  and  in  the  doorways 
and  halls  surrounding  it.  And  five  tons  of 
food  and  clothing  had  been  contributed. 

There  is  one  studio  at  KMOX,  built  for 
an  extra  special  program,  that  has  it  all 
over  the  carpeted  studios  of  Radio  City  or 
the  mural  decorated  ones  at  CBS  in  New 
York.  Instead  of  pianos  and  bass  viols,  it's 
filled  with  electric  refrigerators  and  pots 
and  pans.  Running  water  and  flour  cabi- 
nets take  the  place  of  sound  effects  tables. 

It's  a  modern  kitchen.  The  kind  every 
honeymooning  couple  dreams  about. 
KMOX  spared  no  expense  in  fitting  up  this 
kitchen  studio  for  its  "Magic  Kitchen" 
broadcast  by  Jane  Porter.  You  see,  this 
station  takes  great  pride  in  the  fact  that 
it  has  pioneered  in  home  service  programs. 

While  Jane  Porter  stands  before  a  mike, 
perched  on  a  white  enameled  cooking 
table,  telling  listeners  whether  to  put  the 
eggs  in  before  the  flour  or  whether  to  use 
salt  or  soda  in  making  a  certain  dish,  a 
colored  maid,  all  decked  out  in  a  white 
uniform,  carries  out  the  instructions.  She 
really  makes,  right  there  in  that  kitchen, 
the  dishes  that  Miss  Porter  discusses.  When 
the  announcer  and  the  singers  help  Miss 
Porter  taste  the  completed  dishes,  and  voice 
their  likes  or  dislikes,  then  Mjss  Porter 
knows  if  her  broadcast  to  the  housewives 
has  been  a  success. 

But  what  about  those  network  programs? 
After  all,  you  won't  find  many  stations 
west  of  the  Mississippi  broadcasting  twenty- 
five  networks   programs   a  week. 

There  are  three  good  reasons  for  this. 
One  is  that  KMOX  is  ideally  located  as 
one  of  the  key  stations  for  the  west.  An- 
other is  that  KMOX  is  owned  and  operated 
by   the    Columbia    Broadcasting  System. 


And  most  important,  there  is  an  abundance  I 
of  good  talent  in  and  around  St.  Louis. 

Only  last  month,  10,000  people  were  | 
going  nightly  to  the  giant  out-door  theatre 
in  Forest  Park  to  witness  the  performances 
of  such  musicals  as  "The  Show  Boat," 
"The  Student  Prince,"  "New  Moon"  and 
"Music  in  the  Air."  Magnificent  perform- 
ances requiring  the  best  of  voices.  It  is 
there  that  KMOX  finds  so  many  of  its 
singers.  Russell  Brown,  for  instance,  the 
baritone  whose  programs  are  carried  over 
twenty  odd  stations.  Less  than  a  year  ago 
he  was  singing  in  the  chorus  of  this  Mu- 
nicipal Opera. 

Such  a  theatre,  nestled  among  high  trees 
with  a  real  brook  behind  its  stage  for  the 
"Show  Boat"  scenes,  is  a  finishing  school 
for  singers  and  actors. 

I  want  you  to  know  Jurien  Hoekstra, 
concert  baritone  of  the  network.  Here's 
a  man  who  has  played  Broadway,  appeared 
in  concert  in  Europe  and  America,  and 
had  the  honor  of  playing  and  singing  for 
ten  consecutive  months  at  the  Queen's 
Theatre  in  London.  He  started  his  radicj 
career  at  WOR'S  New  York  studios. 

Another  man  of  the  network  is  Martin 
Wickett,  musical  director  of  KMOX.  He's 
a  young  fellow  from  Nebraska  who  was! 
raised  with  a  baton  in  his  hand.  "St.  Louis  j: 
Blues,"  "Songs  at  Eventide,"  "Rus  Browrl 
and  the  Harmonettes"  and  "The  Knaves 
and  a  Queen'"  are  some  of  the  network 
programs  on  which  his  orchestra  appears  j 

That  "Songs  at  Eventide"  program  is 
one  which,  you'll  recall,  uses  poetry  as  its-'! 
theme.  And  always  Lee  Little  closes  wit! 
the  same  verse. 

Shadows  of  night  are  falling, 

On  towns  and  fields  and  seas, 
The  plaintive  voice  of  the  nightingale 

Comes  echoing  through  the  trees, 
And  up  from  ten  thousand  gardens, 

Wherever  the  flowers  bide. 
There  comes  the  gentle  whisper 

Of  songs  at  eventide. 

And  then,  '"Songs  at  Eventide  came  t<n 
you  from  the  studios  of  KMOX  in  St 
Louis.  Lee  Little  speaking.   This  is  tin 
Columbia  Broadcasting  System." 

So  the  work  of  KMOX  goes  on,  makl 
ing  the  "Voice  of  St.  Louis"  the  VoicJ 
of  the  Middle  West.

^uld  sing  like  this  in  the  show,"  she 
;vrJid  tell  him.  "I  do  hope  your  chance 
.omes." 

It  did  come.  Sooner  than  either  of  them 
expected.  The  leading  man  and  understudy 
fell  ill  at  the  same  time  and  she  got  the 
stage  manager  to  listen  to  her  idea. 

AND  that  night  was  the  first  time  Frank 
Parker  ever  sang  before  a  theatre 
audience.  Everyone  noticed  how  his  thrill- 
ing voice  pulsed  with  emotion,  how  real 
the  love  scenes  between  him  and  the  lead- 
ing lady  appeared.  "Almost  as  though  they 
really  were  in  love,"  they  whispered. 

You  see,  of  course,  what  she  meant  to 
Frank.  And  why  he  had  every  reason  to 
believe  that  her  love  for  him  was  as  sin- 
cere. Little  did  he  know  what  the  cards 
held  for  him.  I  wonder  how  things  would 
have  turned  out  if,  when  the  show  closed, 
he  hadn't  suddenly  found  himself  without 
a  job. 

Weeks  passed,  months  passed  and  still 
no  job  for  Frank.  Those  were  lean  days 
for  him.  No  more  could  he  take  the  girl 
he  loved  out  to  dinner  or  shows. 

Now  you  mustn't  forget  that  she  was 
used  to  luxury.  She  had  been  catered  to 
and  pampered  by  wealthy  men.  So  perhaps 
you  can's  blame  her  for  what  she  did. 

One  evening  Frank  found  her  with  a 
strange  look  on  her  face,  her  eyes  shining, 
her  mouth  hard.  Then  she  started  to  talk, 
the  words  tumbled  out  of  her  mouth  in 
embarrassed  confusion — "He's  very,  very 
wealthy  .  .  .  can  do  a  lot  for  me  .  .  .  wants 
to  marry  me  ...  of  course  you  understand 
.  .  .  must  be  the  end  .  .  ." 

CHE  was  leaving  him  to  marry  money! 

That's  what  it  amounted  to.  Couldn't 
she  have  stuck  by  him?  Couldn't  she  have 
had  faith  in  him?  He'd  show  her  she  was 
wrong ! 

Well,  he  did.  We  all  know  that.  He 
toured  the  Keith  circuit  for  a  while  and 
then  sang  opposite  Hope  Hampton  in  "My 
Princess."  Harry  Horlick,  leader  of  the 
A  and  P  Gypsies,  heard  his  silvery  tenor 
float  across  the  footlights  and  sent  for  him. 
Then  began  Frank's  sensational  climb  in 
radio.  First  as  featured  singer  with  the 
A  and  P  Gypsies,  then  in  rapid  succession 
becoming  one  of  the  Cavaliers  on  the 
Cities  Service  broadcasts,  male  soloist  op- 
posite Jessica  Dragonette,  featured  tenor 
of  the  Revellers'  quartette,  singing  star  on 
Jack  Benny's  program  and  several  others. 
This  winter  he  was  featured  on  five  pro- 
grams a  week.  He  was  referred  to  as 
radio's  most  sought-after  singer. 

I  wonder  if  his  unfortunate  love  was  the 
impetus  he  needed  to  drive  him  up  the 
ladder  of  success.  I  personally,  think  so. 
But  I  wonder,  too,  if  he  doesn't  feel  some 
days  that  he'd  like  to  swap  his  present-day 
fame  for  those  blissfully  romantic  days 
in  the  "Greenwich  Village  Follies." 

Since  then,  Frank  has  taken  no 
girl  seriously.    But  his  good  looks  and  his

prominence  leave  him  wide  open  for 
trouble.  This  past  spring,  for  instance,  he 
was  faced  with  a  $60,000  heart  balm  suit. 
A  certain  Louis  G.  Christy  claimed  that 
his  wife,  Ann  Green  Christy,  had  lost  all 
love  for  him  because  of  Frank.  According 
to  the  man's  amazing  story,  he  and  his 
wife  were  living  together  happily  until 
1924  when  they  met  Parker.  Then,  the 
hubby  claims,  Ann  walked  out  on  him 
and  lived  with  Parker  as  his  wife. 

Christy  told  the  court,  "She  is  still 
madly  infatuated  and  in  love  with  the  de- 
fendant whose  picture  is  constantly  around 
her  room.  She  listens  to  him  daily  on  the 
radio  .  .  .  and  openly  disavows  any  love 


or  affection  for  me.

Isham  Jones  with  His  Mask  Off

dubious,  but  he  found  I  did  ring  the  bell 
oftener  in  the  lower  keys.  Instinctively  I 
had  a  healthy  respect  for  Jones,  and  I  was 
determined  to  justify  his  faith  in  me. 

Gradually  Ish  began  to  unbend  a  little, 
with  his  boys  at  least.  It  does  not  come 
naturally  to  him  to  meet  people  and  give 
them  the  glad  hand,  and  he  has  never  cul- 
tivated the  art  of  social  contact. 

This  quality  is  most  evident  when  inter- 
viewers hover  round  a  dance  spot  where 
we  are  playing.  They  will  ask  for  Isham. 
His  face  will  redden  with  embarrassment 
and  he  will  say  to  me,  "You  go  and  talk 
to  them,  Kid.  Tell  them  anything  they 
want  to  know,  including  the  coal  story." 

It  is  true  that  Isham's  father  was  a 
coal-miner  and  it  is  true  that  Isham  after 
he  finished  high  school,  went  to  work  in 
the  mines.  He  has  certainly  never  tried  to 
conceal  the  facts  of  his  background,  but 
I  think  he  has  grown  a  little  weary  through 
the  years  of  people  who  exclaim  in  sur- 
prise that  an  orchestra  conductor  should 
once  have  worked  in  a  coal  mine. 

By  the  time  he  was  six,  the  boy  was  a 
fair  pianist.  During  his  school  days  he 
learned  to  play  every  available  instru- 
ment. Although  he  has  never  taken  a 
lesson,  unless  you  count  those  adminis- 
tered on  the  dining  room  table,  Ish  to  this 
day  can  pick  up  any  instrument  which 
makes  a  musical  noise  and  play  it. 

After  the  early  exit  from  the  mines, 
heredity  had  its  unchallenged  way.  Isham 
began  playing  in  local  dance  bands.  He 
saved  his  money  and  went  to  Chicago 
where  he  registered  at  the  band  agencies. 
He  could  answer  any  call,  for  he  could  play 
any  instrument.  Composition  was  his  pas- 
time. He  gravitated  into  the  employ  of  a 
music  publisher,  worked  on  the  writing 
staff,  tried  out  vaudeville  acts  using  the 
publisher's  tunes,  and  wrote  some  of  his 
own  first  "pop"  songs.  Among  them  was 
"I'll  See  You  In  My  Dreams." 

Ish  was  in  the  war,  of  course,  but  all 
the  time  he  was  writing  and  publishing. 
As  soon  as  this  interlude  was  over  he  or- 
ganized his  own  band,  played  five  years 
at  College  Inn,  in  Chicago,  and  then  came 
to  the  El  Fey  Club  in  New  York. 

Which  brings  us  up  to  his  "retirement." 
He  left  the  game  at  the  height  of  his 
fame,  found  he  didn't  like  being  out  of  it, 
and  made  a  beautiful  comeback.  Ever  since 
the  day  that  he  walked  out  of  the  mines 


he  has  accomplished  just  what  he  wanted 
to,  including  making  Margie  Kirk,  a  singer 
in  a  Chicago  band,  Mrs.  Isham  Jones. 

One  time  I  tried  to  talk  to  Ish  about 
what  might  seem  to  strangers  a  lack  of 
cordiality.  "You  wouldn't  need  to  say  any- 
thing," I  urged,  "if  you  would  just  turn 
around  once  in  a  while  and  smile." 

He  couldn't  see  it.  "People  don't  want 
a  band  leader  to  try  to  be  chummy  with 
them,"  he  protested.  "What's  the  use? 
They  want  good  music — not  to  have  some- 
body they  don't  know  smile  at  them." 

All  he  got  out  of  that  talk  was  an  idea 
for  a  song!  Only  a  few  days  later  he 
asked  us  to  try  a  little  thing  he  had  been 
working  on.  Its  title  was  "What  The  Use?" 
and  the  first  line  went :  "I  tried  to  smile, 
and  pretend  all  the  while  .  .  ." 

That's  the  kind  of  person  Isham  Jones 
is.  Absolutely  earnest,  sincere — but  a 
dreamer  whose  mind  and  heart  and  soul 
are  wrapped  up  in  music. 

And  where  does  he  gets  song  ideas? 
Well,  one  of  the  first  things  I  noticed 
about  him  was  that  he  always  carried  a 
little  black  book  in  his  pocket.  Every  once 
in  a  while  he  would  take  it  out  and  make 
a  note.  It  was  months  before  any  of  us 
discovered  this  book  was  for  song  ideas, 
most  of  them  suggested  by  incidents  as 
casual  as  the  one  I've  just  told  you. 

To  cite  another  example :  One  time  the 
publicity  man,  of  a  hotel  where  we  were 
playing,  announced  that  everyone  who 
wrote  in  would  be  sent  a  picture  of  Isham 
Jones  and  his  band.  Over  six  thousand 
letters  arrived  within  twenty-four  hours. 
When  he  was  told  this,  Jones  looked  dazed 
and  said,  "Why  ...  I  can't  believe  it's 
true!"  He  must  have  reached  for  the 
little  black  book,  and  later  came  the 
number  "Why  Can't  This  Night  Go  on 
Forever  ?" 

Another  time  we  were  playing  on  elec- 
tion night.  Like  all  such  celebrations,  it 
just  went  on  and  on.  Some  one  mopped 
his  brow  and  muttered,  "Looks  as  if  this 
night  would  go  on  forever."  Out  came  the 
little  black  book,  and  later  came  the  number 
"Why  Can't  This  Night  Go  on  Forever?" 

Of  the  original  group  of  musicians  who 
started  out  with  Isham  in  Milwaukee  there 
are  four  left  beside  myself. 

But  all  the  boys  in  the  band  believe  in 
him.  His  stooge,  yours  truly,  swears  by 
him,  with  him,  and  at  him !

the  masterpieces  that  today  are  little  more 
than  torture  for  high  school  seniors.  And 
when  audiences  yawned  at  Shakespeare 
they  got  jobs  with  a  stock  company. 

In  the  year  when  war  clouds  were  burst- 
ing into  murderous  torrents,  thundering 
with  the  impact  of  the  Archduke's  murder 
at  Sarajevo,  a  child  was  born  to  Irene 
Hubbard.    They  called  him  Sam. 

The  secret  which  those  few  friends  of 
"Aunt  Maria's"  know  is  summarized,  then, 
in  three  letters— S-A-M.  It  was  Sam  and 
his  destiny,  and  his  mother's  passionate 
hopes  for  him  which  propelled  her  into 
that  heart-breaking  routine  which  spelled 
only  failure  and  disappointment  for  years. 

Four  years  ago  Irene  Hubbard  made 
her  first  try  at  radio.  Shakespearean  lines 
were  the  ones  she  read  most  beautifully. 
She  was  turned  down.  Again  she  tried, 
six  months  later,  and  again,  failure.  A 
third  attempt.     And  a  fourth. 

All  those  years  she  knew  that  she  was 
an  accomplished  actress — but  she  knew, 
too,  that  the  actor's  destiny  had  narrowed 
down  to  a  part  in  a  Broadway  show — or 
an  assignment  in  radio  for  Stock  com- 
panies all  over  the  country  had  lost  their 
appeal  with  the  growing  popularity  of 
talking  pictures.  Only  radio  held  forth 
promise.  That's  why  Irene  Hubbard 
worked  so  desperately  to  make  the  grade. 
Because  she  knew  that,  in  his  way,  Sam 
was  a  genius.  Sam  doesn't  talk  much — 
he  produces. 

Most  people  have  a  tremendous  curios- 
ity. They  want  to  know  zvhat.  Sam  has 
a  tremendous  curiosity.  But  he  wants  to 
know  why!    And  how. 

Today  Sam  Hubbard  is  twenty  years 
old.  His  list  of  inventions  totals  three 
hundred.  He's  invented  labor  saving  de- 
vices that  make  things  easier  for  Mother 
Irene — Aunt  Maria  to  you.  He's  invented 
little  gadgets  that  speed  up  the  efficiency 
of  all  sorts  of  machinery.  He's  created 
toys  and  worked  out  plans  for  great 
bridges,  as  important  and  awe-inspiring  as 
the  new  Washington  Bridge  over  the 
North  River  in  Xew  York,  in  such  detail 
that  great  architects,  who  have  training 
and  knowledge,  have  hailed  as  perfect ! 

It  was  several  years  ago  that  Irene 
Hubbard's  voice  caressed  the  lines,  "There's 
rosemary,  that's  for  remembrance  .  .  ." 
and  was  turned  down  by  the  busy  execu- 
tive. Her  fourth  try !  She  was  at  her 
wit's  end.  Things  hadn't  gone  so  well  for 
her  and  her  husband.  And  the  destiny 
of  her  dearly-beloved  Sam  hung  in  the 
balance.  No  money — no  career  for  Sam. 
Little  wonder  that  her  mind  was  tortured 
with  desperation,  knowing  that  her  fourth 
attempt  had  been  futile! 

Two  years  after  her  first  unsuccessful 
audition,  she  tried  for  the  fifth  time.  Her 
voice  struck  a  responsive  chord  in  the 
ear  of  a  desperate  executive  who  needed 
an  actress  to  fill  a  minor  role.    Irene  Hub- 


True; 


A  Blackhead  is 
Dirt  that  is  3  and 
4  Months  Old! 


Is  your  skin  guilty  of  "dirty  underclothes"? 

In  other  words,  dirty  underneath?  You  may 
not  know  it,  but  Blackheads,  Whiteheads, 
Enlarged  Pores  and  Muddy  and  Sallow  Skin, 
are  signs  of  concealed  dirt. 

Yes — shrink  as  you  will — a  blackhead  is 
dirt  that  is  three  and  four  months  old! 

You  may  be  the  most  fastidious  woman  in 
the  world  and  still  have  blackheads.  Why?  Not 
through  any  carelessness  on  your  part,  but 
simply  because  you're  an  innocent  victim  of 
inadequate  cleansing  methods.  You  think  you 
are  reaching  the  dirt  in  your  skin,  but  you  are 
not.  You  are  only  reaching  the  outer  and  not 
the  under  layer  of  dirt. 

Make  This  Test! 

If  you  want  to  see  how  a  real  face  cream  works, 
make  this  test 

First,  cleanse  your  skin  as  you  now  do  it. 
If  you  use  soap  and  water,  use  plenty  of  it. 
If  you  use  cream,  use  three  or  four  applica- 
tions. Keep  cleaning  your  skin  until  you  think 
it  absolutely  immaculate. 

Now,  take  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  and  clean 
it.  Just  smooth  or  pat  on  the  cream  and  leave 
it  there  a  few  minutes.  Now  take  a  clean  cloth 
or  tissue  and  wipe  off  the  cream.  Look  at  the 
cloth!  That  skin  you  thought  absolutely  clean 
has  left  it  streaked  and  smudged. 

It  Reaches  Pore-deep  Dirt 

Ordinary  face  creams  stop  at  the  top  layer 
of  dirt  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  penetrates 
to  the  bottom  of  the  pores  and  dissolves  the 
underneath  layer  of  dirt.  It  gives  your 
skin  a  complete  pore-deep  cleansing.  Lady 
Esther  Face  Cream  reaches  the  bottom  of 
your  pores  because  it  is  a  unique,  readily 
liquefying  cream.  It  melts  the  instant  it 
touches  the  skin.  Thus,  without  the  neces- 
sity of  being  rubbed  in  and  without  stretching 
the  pores,  it  penetrates  the  little  openings  all 
the  way  to  their  depths.  There  it  dissolves 
the  accumulated  dirt  and  grime  and  floats 
it  to  the  surface  where  it  is  easily  wiped  off. 


When  you  get  through  cleansing  your  skin  with 
Lady  Esther  Face  Cream,  you  KNOW  it  is  clean 
because  your  cloth  will  show  no  sign  of  soil. 

Also  Lubricates  the  Skin 

As  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  cleans  your  skin, 
it  also  lubricates  it.  It  resupplies  it  with  a  fine 
oil  that  ends  dryness  and  keeps  your  skin  soft, 
smooth  and  supple. 

There  is  no  face  cream  you  ever  tried  that 
is  at  once  so  thoroughly  cleansing  and  deli- 
cately lubricating  as  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream. 
One  trial  will  show  you  an  amazing  difference 
in  your  skin. 

At  My  Expense!

liberal  7-day  trial

bard  got  the  job.  It  was  only  a  sustain- 
ing program  and  Irene  drew  a  weekly  for- 
tune of  twenty-two  dollars  and  fifty  cents. 

When  that  program  proved  unsuccess- 
ful she  took  another  minor  role,  a  part 
that  most,  actresses  would  turn  down. 
Irene  wouldn't.  She  was  thinking  about 
Sam  and  that  laboratory  which  she  wanted 
to  outfit  for  him. 

At  last  she  got  a  break.  Bill  Bacher, 
production  man  on  the  "Show  Boat"  pro- 
gram, heard  her.  The  show  had  been  on 
the  air  for  almost  two  months  and  they 
needed  a  woman  to  play  opposite  Cap'n 
Henry.  "That's  the  person,"  he  said, 
when  he  heard  her. 


Irene  got  the  part        has  had  it  ever 

since ! 

An  actress  makes  good  .-,  radio!  That's 
almost  a  miracle  in  these  <iays  when  a 
warble  is  worth  a  thousand  spoken  words. 

The  Aunt  Maria  you  don't  kn»w  is  the 
woman  who  became  an  important  "second" 
on  a  big  program  and  a  mistress  of  cere- 
monies on  another  because  deep  in  her 
heart  there's  a  burning  desire  to  make  an 
Edison  out  of  a  kid  named  Sam.  A  kid 
who's  lucky  enough  to  be  her  son,  a  kid 
who  comes  every  Thursday  night  to  the 
Show  Boat  broadcast  and  sits  in  the  first 
row  to  root  for  the  mother  who's  carried 
a  heavy  cross  to  assure  him  success. 


KMOX  Spreads  the  Spirit  of  St.  Louis 

(.Continued  from  page  55) 


Around  the  studios  they  call  him  "Mr. 
Van."  He  is  J.  L.  Van  Volkenburg, 
young  and  energetic.  He  became  KMOX's 
president  in  October,  1932. 

Don't  think  that  interest  in  KMOX  is 
limited  to  the  Forty-ninth  State.  Not 
at  all.  In  fact,  the  Columbia  network 
uses  KMOX  as  one  of  its  key  stations. 
Those  of  you  who  live  in  the  Southwest, 
West  and  Northwest  will  recall  that  a 
lot  of  your  CBS  programs  originate  from 
KMOX  in  St.  Louis.  At  the  moment, 
about  twenty-five  programs  go  on  over 
the  network  from  KMOX.  There's  the 
Pet  Milk  commercial  on  Tuesdays  and 
Thursdays.  Jerry  Hoekstra's  baritoning. 
A  Monday  program  called  "And  the  Crowd 
Roared,"  which  relives  sports  events.  Then, 
too,  the  Harmonettes,  Russell  Brown,  the 
Shumate  Brothers  and  others. 

^*AN  you  remember  when  airplane  en- 
durance  flying  took  the  country  by 
rage?  Then  you'll  recall  that  Jackson  and 
O'Brien,  of  St.  Louis,  established  the  first 
big  record  back  in  1929.  Newspapers  from 
coast  to  coast  gave  column  after  column 
of  space  to  this  extraordinary  event.  And 
radios  gave  out  special  bulletins  of  the 
progress  of  the  flight.  KMOX  was  the 
first  station  on  the  air  to  report  the  flight. 


Every  few  minutes  during  the  day  the 
station  gave  bulletins.  And  when  the  rec- 
ord was  broken,  KMOX  stayed  on  the 
air  for  186  continuous  hours,  the  length 
of  time  the  flyers  stayed  in  the  air  after 
the  old  record  was  passed. 

When  it  comes  to  high  music,  KMOX 
again  takes  honors.  This  time  the  music 
was  about  2,000  feet  high.  A  band  was 
placed  in  an  airplane  with  Billy  Sunday, 
and  KMOX  listeners  got  music  and  re- 
ligion from  the  heavens.  That  was  in 
1929  and  a  stunt  quite  new  to  radio. 

Airplanes  have  really  played  an  impor- 
tant part  in  KMOX  history.  Take,  for 
instance,  the  time  a  cornerstone  was  laid 
from  a  plane.  The  stone  was  set  up  on 
an  electric  winch.  Up  in  a  roaring  plane 
were  city  officials  and  a  KMOX  engineer 
and  announcer.  As  the  plane  rushed  over 
the  building,  a  voice  broadcast  by  short 
wave  and  rebroadcast  by  KMOX  closed 
the  circuit  of  the  electric  winch,  dropping 
the  cornerstone  in  its  place.  That,  to  be 
sure,  wras  a  pioneering  move  by  radio. 

So  don't  forget  to  visit  "The  Voice  of 
St.  Louis"  when  you're  out  that  way. 
You'll  find  out  for  yourself  the  wonders 
of  the  Forty-ninth  State — the  state  you 
didn't  know  existed. 

The  home  of  KMOX. 


Ill  Be  Suing  You 


(Continued  from  page  15) 


doggoned  corrupt  crook,  that  goes  out 
there  and  jams  a  milk  contract  through 
the  schools  and  has  the  little  children  of 
his  town  a-drinking  putrid  milk.'' 

Those  were  pretty  mild  words  coming 
from  Mr.  Duncan,  for  he  had  a  much 
better  vocabulary  than  that,  when  he  saw 
fit  to  use  it.  He  went  on  to  say  of  the 
chap  he  was  attacking  that  he  is  the  "low- 
est of  the  low,  the  vilest  of  the  vile,  the 
dirtiest,  thievin'  grafter  that  ever  dis- 
graced the  school  board  in  any  city."  He 
called  another  person  the  "lowest,  dirtiest, 
vilest  grave  robber  on  the  Pacific  Coast." 

Eventually  the  people  he  was  calling 
names  got  a  little  sore.  They  didn't  like 
to  sue  him  for  slander,  because  then  they 


might  have  to  disprove  what  he  said.  But 
when  he  called  his  pet  enemy  a  "damn 
scoundrel,  by  God,"  he  got  into  hot  water. 
The  courts  convicted  him  of  using  "ob- 
scene, indecent  and  profane  language."  A 
higher  court,  to  which  he  appealed,  said  it 
could  see  nothing  obscene  or  indecent  about 
his  language,  but  that  it  was  decidedly 
profane.  The  broadcasting  station  over 
which  he  had  been  accustomed  to  speak  his 
mind  could  not  get  its  license  renewed. 

You  probably  know  about  that  other 
lively  libel  suit  pending  at  the  present 
time  in  the  courts.  Sylvia  Ulbeck,  Hol- 
lywood's famous  masseuse,  who  claims  to 
be  "death  to  fat,"  is  being  sued  for  $100,000 
by  Ginger  Rogers,  who  says  Madame  Syl-

ia  injured  her  professional  standing. 
One  day  Ginger,  according  to  her  own 
tory,  turned  on  her  radio  and  listened 
i  on  Sylvia's  program.  To  her  surprise 
'  he  heard  Sylvia  talking  to  someone  who 
ras  supposed  to  be  Ginger  Rogers.  In 
weet,  dulcet  tones  she  heard  the  impostor 
ay  that  she  was  tired  of  comedy  parts, 
ylvia  answered  that  she  was  not  suited 
or  heavy  drama  and  remarked  that  she 
/as  working  too  hard,  and  needed  a  rest 


nd  plenty  of  a  certain  kind  of  bread  that 
iylvia  was  advertising. 
Ginger  claims  the  whole  interview  was 
phoney. 

*\  F  course,  libel  and  slander  are  just  two 
law  suits  of  which  radio  stars  must 
■eware.  There  are  plenty  of  others.  Every 
h  ime  a  star  opens  his  mouth  to  sing  he's 
^'•ikely  to  be  sued  by  someone  who  claims 
hat  the  song  is  just  like  one  he  once 
hought  of  and  maybe  even  wrote.  When 
Jing  Crosby  sang  "At  Your  Command," 
erge  Walter  and  Ross  Mobley,  the  au- 
hors  of  "Jealous,"  began  a  suit  against 
iim.  saying  that  the  song  "At  Your  Com- 
nand"   was   almost   identical   with  their 
Jealous." 

Rudy  Yallee  had  to  go  through  quite 
lot  of  court  proceedings  to  prove  his 
ight  to  croon  "I'm  Just  a  Yagabond 
^over,"  for  he  was  sued  for  the  modest 
ttle  sum  of  $1,000,000  by  Roberta  H. 
sIcKay,  who  insisted  she  composed  it. 

Rudy's  lawyer  said  at  the  time,  "Yallee 
ind  Zimmerman  collaborated  on  the  words 
ind  music.  You  can  say  that  Mr.  Yallee 
lasn't  any  fear  of  the  consequences  of 
his  suit,  the  existence  of  which  he  just 
leard  today.  He  does  not  know  Miss 
VIcKay.  It  is  strange  how  many  people 
lave  written  him  about  that  song,  claim- 
ng  to  have  written  it  or  to  know  some- 
one who  did.  All  of  them  wrote  after 
he  song  had  been  a  success  for  a  long 
ime.  I  wonder  why  Miss  McKay  didn't 
nake  her  claim  sooner.  A  year  and  a 
lalf  is  a  long  time  to  wait." 

In  the  end  Rudy  was  given  the  right  to 
:roon  his  pet  song,  but  he  had  to  pay  Miss 
McKay  $400  and  another  $150  as  attor- 
ney's costs.  Considering  the  fact  that 
she  sued  for  $1,000,000,  you  might  call 
that  a  moral  victory,  anyway. 

Gertrude  Berg  is  very  much  disturbed 
right  now  over  a  suit  started  by  Mrs. 
Sophia  Civoru.  Gertrude  Berg,  you  know, 
has  for  a  long  time  been  known  as  the 
mother  of  the  Goldbergs,  but  Mrs.  Civoru 
says  that  she's  only  their  step-mother.  Ac- 
cording to  Mrs.  Civoru,  the  original  idea 
for  the  Rise  of  the  Goldbergs  was  hers. 
She  says  that  she  and  Mrs.  Berg  formed 
a  partnership  in  1929  whereby  she  was  to 
furnish  the  ideas  for  the  sketches  and 
Gertrude  was  to  develop  them  and  write 
the  continuity.  After  a  short  time  the 
two  women  quarreled.  But  Mrs.  Civoru 
thinks  she's  entitled  to  some  do-re-mi. 

PRACTICALLY  no  radio  star  counts 
until  he's  been  sued  for  breach  of  some- 
thing or  other  and  alienation  of  affections. 
Robert  Ripley,  the  Believe-It-or-Not  man, 
has  been  sued  three  times,  once  for  breach 
of  contract  by  Famous  Speakers,  Inc.,  once 
for  breach  of  promise  by  a  Japanese  singer,

mous  Speakers  lost  their  suit  against  Rip- 
ley; heaven  only  knows  what  happened  to 
the  breach  of  promise  suit;  Julius  got  his 
divorce  from  Ruth,  and  Ripley  and  Ruth 
Goldstein  were  ordered  to  pay  him  $153. 

Harry  Richman  was  sued  once  by  Flo 
Stanley,  a  former  Mack  Sennett  actress. 
She  valued  her  broken  heart  at  $250,000. 

Gay  Delys,  a  showgirl,  is  suing  Enric 
Madriguera  for  $100,000.  claiming  he 
promised  to  marry  her.  The  orchestra 
leader  said  that  he  was  sure  that  if  he 
ever  proposed  to  a  girl  he'd  remember  it. 
And  who  should  know  better  than  he  if 
he  ever  breathed  the  words  '"love"  or 
"marry"  to  Gay  Delys? 

Who  is  the  most  sued  man  along  Radio 
Row?  It's  a  toss-up  between  Ed  Wynn 
and  Rudy  Vallee.  Recently  Ed  Wynn 
boasted  that  doubtful  honor.  He  said  he 
was  one  of  the  most  sued  presons  on  the 
air,  having  138  lawsuits  against  him  at 
the  present  time.  Most  of  them  were 
probably  caused  by  the  collapse  of  the 
Amalgamated  Broadcasting  Company. 

But  Rudy  Vallee  has  a  peacherino  of  a 
record  for  lawsuits.  He  pays  $20,000  to 
$40,000  a  year  for  attorney  fees.  It's 
cheaper  for  him  in  the  long  run  than 
hiring  attorneys  by  the  case. 

I'm  not  talking,  either,  of  all  those 
goofy  suits  about  whether  he's  to  divorce 
Fay  Webb  or  she's  to  divorce  him,  and 
whether  it's  to  take  place  in  New  York, 
California  or  the  Fiji  Islands.  I'm  talk- 
ing about  the  honest-to-goodness  lawsuits 
that  have  been  started  against  Rudy.  Then 
everyone  knows  about  the  feud  between 
Will  Osborne  and  Vallee  as  to  which  was 
the  original  crooner. 

Most  amusing  of  all  the  suits  that  have 
ever  been  slapped  against  Rudy  is  one 
now  pending.  Do  you  recall  the  name 
Danny  Ahearn?  The  newspapers  were 
full  of  it  a  short  while  ago. 

Danny  is  an  ex-convict,  author  of  "How 
to  Commit  a  Murder — And  Get  Away  with 
It."  Since  1919  he  has  been  arrested  twelve 
times — maybe  he's  gathering  material  for 


another  book.  And  it  should  be  good,  f 
It  seems  a  few  years  ago,  when  Vallee  |: 
was  playing  and  singing  there,  Danny  (i 
visited  the  Villa  Vallee.  A  self-confessed  I' 
big,  bad,  bold  man,  he  claims  Vallee  as-  \i 
saulted  him  and  kicked  him  in  the  pants.  I 
So  he's  suing. 

No  matter  how  regular  you  are,  the  f 
chances  are  that  if  you're  a  radio  star  (♦ 
you're  going  to  be  sued.    Take  Jimmy* 
Durante,  for  instance.    He  wouldn't  han>#» 
anyone  for  anything.    Still  Poet  Alfred  I 
Kreymborg  sued  him  a  short  while  ago.  I 
Alfred  Kreymborg  said  he  was  mortified.  |f 
Jimmy  said  he  was  mortified  that  Kreym- 
borg should  say  that  Jimmy  had  mortified 
him. 

•You  see,  Jimmy  read  some  of  Kreym- 
borg's  modernistic  poetry  over  the  air. 
Jimmy  recited  them  as  if  they  were  funny. 
Kreymborg  said  they  weren't  funny,  were 
never  meant  to  be  funny,  and  that  his  | 
reputation  had  been  damaged. 

Kreymborg  writes  verses  like  this,  from 
the  play  "Jack's  House":  "She  likes  to' 
make  shades,  yellow  shades  for  the  win- 
dow, but  if  you  ask  her  why  she  likes 
to  make  shades  for  the  window  she  would 
not  tell  you  why  she  likes  to  make  shades, 
yellow  shades,  for  the  window,  she  would 
not  tell  you  why  she  likes  to  make  yellow 
shades  for  the  window,  except  she  likes 
to." 

Kreymborg's  lawyer  said  they  were  "fine 
poems  destroyed  by  Jimmy  Durantc's  sense 
of  humor."  He  thought  Jimmy  ought  to 
pay  Kreymborg  $100,000  for  reading  his 
serious  poems  as  if  they  were  funny.  But 
the  court  decided  otherwise — against 
Kreymborg  and  in  favor  of  Jimmy. 

You  can  see  from  all  this  that  no  mat- 
ter what  they  say  or  do,  radio  stars  are 
likely  to  be  sued.  Somebody  is  always 
having  his  feelings  hurt  or  her  heart 
broken,  and  when  that  happens  they  ask 
for  a  nice,  round  sum.  Funny,  the  power 
that  money  has  to  ease  a  broken  heart, 
isn't  it?    So  what? 

So  they  keep  suing. 


Keep  Young  and  Beautifu

you  pull  it  through  your  hands,  you  can 
be  pretty  sure  its  free  of  soap. 

Always  use  a  liquid  cleanser — never  rub 
cake  soap  directly  on  the  hair.  There  are 
many  excellent  shampoos  on  the  market 
and  you  can  also  make  your  own  by  shav- 
ing a  good  toilet  soap  into  boiling  water 
and  letting  it  dissolve.  I  want  to  mention 
here  a  perfect  cleanser  that  normalizes  all 
types  and  conditions  of  scalp  and  hair  and 
glorifies  the  drabbest.  This  is  a  soapless 
olive  oil  shampoo  that  I  have  been  using 
for  the  past  several  months.  If  you  care 
to  know  the  name  of  it,  drop  me  a  postcard. 

^^IL  shampoos  are  beneficial  to  every 
type  of  hair,  including  bleached.  Al- 
though it  will  remove  the  color  from 
dyed  and  hennaed  hair,  it  is  often  rec- 
ommended between  dyeings  and  hennas. 
Incidentally,  it  is  a  safe  and  quick  method 
of  removing  artificial  coloring.  You  will 
also  discover  that  oil  shampoos  will  make 


your  permanent  look  more  soft  and  natural. 

To  give  the  hair  sheen  and  lustre,  finish 
up  with  a  color  rinse.  This  not  only 
brings  out  the  high  lights  and  tones,  buti 
adds  that  touch  of  glamor. 

Dry  the  hair  thoroughly.  Then  dampen 
with  a  wave-setting  lotion  to  set  the  waves 
and  curls.  If  you  will  supplement  these 
shampoos  with  five  or  ten  minutes  of  mas- 
sage and  brushing  each  day,  you  will  soon 
achieve  a  crowning  glory. 

As  most  of  you  know,  brilliantine  is 
not  only  beneficial  to  the  hair,  but  adds  a 
gloss  and  keeps  it  in  place.  Pour  a  bit 
into  the  hand  and  dip  the  brush  into  it.j 
Apply  first  to  the  ends  of  the  hair,  which 
of  course  are  dryest,  and  then  brush  lightl> 
over  the  head. 

Oily  hair  is  no  doubt  the  hardest  to  cor-l 
rect.  A  teaspoon  of  baking  soda  in  the 
last  rinse  water  will  help.  I  also  advise 
a  special  tonic.  Combine  this  with  dailj 
massage  and  brushing.

ich  in  this.    It  helps  to  take  care  of  the

my  bringing  my  brothers  here  to  practice? 
We've  sung  a  few  club  engagements 
around  town.  We'll  get  up  a  crack  enter- 
tainment foursome  and  if  you'll  play  our 
club  dates  with  us,  we'll  go  on  the  air  with 
you  and  help  you  fill  your  time." 

For  days,  while  unattended  customers 
fretted  in  front,  the  Landt  Trio's  harmony 
floated  through  the  sweet  bakery  air  from 
the  back  room.  Two  weeks  later,  armed 
with  a  repertory  of  seven  songs— they  knew 
three  of  them  by  heart— they  approached 
the  manager  of  WGBI. 

"Glad  to  have  you  boys,"  he  said.  He 
should  have  been— at  a  price' of  $5.00  an 
hour  for  the  group.  But  then,  with  a  re- 
pertory which  made  it  necessary  for  them 
to  repeat  songs  when  they  were  on  hour 
long  broadcasts,  what  could  they  expect? 

They  were  happy  to  be  on  the  air,  of 
course,  but  they  weren't  satisfied.  The 
fan  mail  made  them  sure  they  were  worth 
more  money  than  that.  Even  when  the 
club  engagements  began  to  be  more  fre- 
quent, they  were  hardly  wallowing  in 
wealth.  And  something  discouraging  al- 
ways seemed  to  happen. 

On  one  occasion  Dan  has  been  ap- 
proached by  a  club  entertainment  manager 
to  find  out  how  much  they  wanted  for  sing- 
ing at  a  party. 

"Is  fifteen  dollars  apiece  too  much?"  Dan 
asked  timidly. 

"No,  that's  fine,"  the  manager  said. 

During  the  course  of  the  evening,  the 
manager  approached  White,  who  didn't 
know  of  the  price  agreed  upon.  "How 
much  did  you  fellows  say  you  wanted?" 
the  manager  asked. 

"Oh,"  said  White  with  all  the  casual 
confidence  he  could  master,  "I  guess  ten 
dollars  apiece  will  be  all  right." 

Total  loss  for  the  group,  twenty  dollars. 
But  it  was  just  that  sort  of  thing  that 
made  the  first  glimmerings  of  their  dream 
of  going  to  New  York  and  making  a  lot 
of  money,  burst  into  full  brilliance. 

THEY  consulted  their  friends  and  fam- 
ilies.  To  their  surprise,  the  ones  who 
had  been  most  enthusiastic  about  their  en- 
tertaining in  Scranton  now-  shook  their 
heads  most  dubiously.  Howard  had  a  good 
bakery  business.  Carl  was  doing  well  as 
a  milk  tester  and  Dan  was  building  up  a 
good  business  as  a  painting  contractor. 
Jack  was  still  in  high  school.  Why  should 
they  leave  home  for  the  risks  of  a  city. 

"But  you've  got  to  leave  home,"  the  boys 
argued,  "if  you  want  to  get  anywhere." 

Their  arguments  fell  on  deaf  ears.  And 
in  their  turn,  their  spirited  confidence 
drowned  out  all  protests.  Dan  and  Carl 
and  Howard  gave  up  their  work.  Jack 
left  school.  With  $400  in  borrowed  money, 
their  sole  financing,  safely  in  Carl's  pocket, 
they  boarded  the  New  York  train.  No  feel- 
ing of  doubt  as  to  the  wisdom  of  what 
they  were  doing  disturbed  their  high 
spirits.  That  was  to  come  later.  So  sure 
were  they  of  success,  so  certain  their  time 
would  be  entirely  occupied  with  entertain- 
ing, they  made  an  agreement  among  them- 
selve  that  the  first  to  marry  should  forfeit 


$500  to  the  other  three.  The  second  would 
do  the  same  to  the  remaining  two. 

They  set  their  bags  down  in  that  bullet 
scarred,  ill-furnished  New  York  room  and 
began  to  think.  What  to  do  now?  What 
does  one  do  when  one  wants  to  go  on  the 
air  or  the  stage  and  knows  no  one? 

"Why  not  see  Vincent  Lopez"  Howard 
suggested.  But  Lopez  was  a  busy  maa 
Wouldn't  he  be  too  busy  to  see  them? 

To  their  astonishment,  Lopez  not  only 
saw  them  but   was  willing   to  listen  to 
them.    And  when  he  said  he  liked  their' 
work,    their    spirits   bubbled  ecstatically. 

"How  much  do  you  boys  think  yor 
ought  to  get?"  Lopez  asked  them. 

"Would  $250  a  week  be  too  much?"  they 
asked  shyly. 

"I  guess  not,"  Lopez  laughed.  The  or- 
chestra leader  was  playing  at  the  Concourse 
Plaza  Hotel  in  New  York  and  said  he'd 
give  the  boys  a  try  up  there. 

THEIR  happiness   was  boundless  when 

their  songs  were  applauded  vigorously. 
But  a  day  later  came  disheartening  news. 

"I'm  awfully  sorry  boys,"  Lopez  told 
them.  "I  thought  I'd  be  able  to  use  you, 
but  I've  had  to  change  my  plans.  Sorry." 

"But  what  are  we  going  to  do?"  pro- 
tested the  boys. 

"Why  don't  you  go  over  to  NBC?  I'll, 
see  that  you  get  an  audition,"  Vincent  pro- 
mised. 

"Say,"  whispered  Carl,  "suppose  they 
ask  us  to  sing  more  than  three  songs.  We 
haven't  got  our  music  and  all  we  know  by 
heart  is  'Voom  Voom'  and  'Ice  Cream'  anc 
'Mississippi  Mud'." 

"Shh!"  cautioned  Howard.  "We're  go- 
ing to  start." 

They  sang  "Mississippi  Mud."  The  au- 
dition director  asked  for  another.  The) 
sang  "Voom  Voom."  They  began  to  per- 
spire. How  long  was  this  going  to  keej 
up?  As  they  ended  the  final  note  of  "Ic< 
Cream,"  they  looked  despairingly  at  on< 
another.  If  they  were  asked  to  sing  oni 
more  they  were  sunk. 

Even  when  the  director  said,  "Oka) 
boys,  that's  enough,"  their  relief  was  shor 
lived  for  with  an  air  of  finality  he  con 
eluded,  "I'll  let  you  know  when  I  can  us> 
you." 

The  boys  were  no  fools.  They  knev 
that  nine  times  out  of  ten  this  was  a  polit' 
way  of  saying,  "Sorry,  can't  use  you  at  all.' 

Each  hour  forced  them  further  towan 
the  end  of  their  rope.  In  a  last  franti' 
attempt  to  stave  off  the  seemingly  inevi 
table  failure,  they  hurried  about  to  bookin; 
offices,  theatres  and  studios.  The  answe 
was  always  the  same. 

THEN  of  a  sudden  came  a  faint  glimme 
of  hope.  The  National  Broadcastin; 
Company  had  informed  them  that  the; 
could  be  among  a  number  of  groups  o 
singers  to  audition  for  the  Lucky  Strik 
hour.  After  their  discouragements,  the 
placed  little  faith  in  it,  but  it  was 
chance  and  they  had  to  take  it. 

When  they  saw  the  number  of  othej 
singers  outside  the  audition  studio,  thej 
were  aghast.    And  when  they  w:ere  toll

!  they  would  have  to  sing  "Varsity  Drag," 
they  started  to  leave.    There  were  but  fif- 

I  teen  minutes  before  the  audition  was  to 

!  go  on  and  they  didn't  know  the  song. 

But  Scrappy  Lambert,  the  singer,  stop- 
ped there.  "Come  on  in  this  studio  here," 
he  commanded.    "I'll  teach  you  the  song." 

Despite  the  fact  that  Scrappy  was  com- 
peting with  them  on  the  audition,  he  gen- 
erously went  to  work  with  them.  They 
finished  seconds  before  they  were  to  go  on. 

The  audition  over,  they  waited  long,  aw- 
ful minutes.  Finally  an  NBC  official  ap- 
proached them.  "Well  boys,"  he  said 
slowly,  "you  might  as  well  go  home  now. 
You  passed  the  audition." 

Those  fortunate  ones  who  have  been  list- 
ening since  the  fall  of  1928  know  the  rest 
of  the  story  pretty  well.  You  remember 
the  enormous  success  of  their  "On  the 
8:15,"  the  morning  program  which  ran 

5  for  two  years.  Since  that  first  audition, 
there  have  been  but  three  setbacks. 

These  setbacks  consist  of  three  marriages. 
Howard  White  was  the  first.  When  he 
married  Madelyn  Corrigan,  a  girl  he 
had  known  in  Kingston,  Pennsylvania,  he 
had  to  pay  his  $500  to  the  three  Landts. 
Dan  Landt  went  next,  marrying  Lois  Ben- 
son, a  girl  he  had  met  while  on  vaudeville 
tour.  He  paid  Jack  and  Carl.  The  third 
$500  is  being  paid  by  Jack,  the  youngest 
of  the  Landts,  to  Carl,  for  as  this  is  being 
written,  he  is  about  to  marry  Marion 
Bergeron,  Miss  America  of  1933.  Carl, 
counting  the  $500  he  has  not  yet  had  to 

i  pay  is  still  $1,466.66  to  the  good— or  bad, 
whichever  way  you  want  to  look  at  it. 

But  of  course  those  aren't  really  set- 
backs. Anyone  who  can  afford  to  hand 
out  $500  just  like  that  for  the  privilege  of 
getting  married,  must  have  had  some  de- 
gree of  success.  And  it  remains  as  proof 
to  the  Landt  Trio  and  White  what  they 
contended  from  the  beginning : 

"If  you  want  to  get  anywhere,  you  have 

.  to  leave  home."

these  children,"  he  said.  "They'll  trail  us 
through  their  cries." 

They  held  a  council.  The  blood-curdling 
and  heart-rending  decision  was  that  every 
child  should  be  put  to  death.  By  his  own 
father. 

"I  won't  do  it,"  Mr.  X  shouted  pitiably. 
"I  won't  kill  my  own  child." 

"You  must,"  said  the  stern-faced  leader 
of  the  group. 

I  IKE  Abraham  of  old,  the  father  took 
his  little  son  by  the  hand  and  crept 
into  the  woods.  The  child  looked  at  him 
trustingly.  With  quaking  hands,  the 
father  picked  up  a  stone.  .  .  . 

With  all  the  children  dead,  the  band 
of  Greeks  escaped  safely  to  the  border. 
Mr.  X  and  his  wife  came  to  America, 
where  they  prospered.  But  this  man's 
mind  burned  with  the  idea  that  he  had 
murdered  his  own  child.

offers  you  these 
and  more 


Do  you,  too,  want  to  get  into 
Broadcasting — the  most  fascinat- 
ing, glamorous,  good-paying  in- 
dustry in  the  world?  Do  you 
want  to  earn  good  money — more 
than  you  ever  dreamed  possible 
before?  Do  you  want  to  have 
your  voice  brought  into  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  of  homes  all 
over  the  land?  If  you  do,  you'll 
read  every  word  of  this  amazing 
opportunity. 

For  no  matter  where  you  live — 
no  matter  how  old  or  how  young 
you  are — if  you  have  talent — 
then  here  is  a  remarkable  new 
way  to  realize  your  life's  ambi- 
tion. Broadcasting  needs  new 
talent — in  fact,  the  demand  far 
exceeds  the  available  supply. 


Greatest   Opportunity  in 
Radio  Broadcasting 

Because  Broadcasting  is  expanding  so  fast  that  no 
one  can  predict  to  what  gigantic  size  it  will  grow  in 
the  next  few  years — Broadcasting  offers  more  op- 
portunities for  fame  and  success  than  perhaps  any 
other  industry  in  the  world  today. 

Think  of  it!  Broadcasting  has  been  taking  such 
rapid  strides  that  today  advertisers  alone  are  spend- 
ing more  than  a  hundred  million  dollars  for  advertising 
over  the  air.  Think  of  the  millions  that  will  be  spent 
next  year,  and  the  year  after  over  more  than  600 
stations — think  of  the  glorious  opportunities  for 
thousands  of  talented  and  properly  trained  men  and 
women. 

Many  Earn  Good  Money  Quickly 

Why  not  get  your  share  of  these  millions?  For  if 
your  speaking  or  singing  voice  shows  promise,  if  you 
are  good  at  thinking  up  ideas,  if  you  can  act,  if  you 
have  any  hidden  talents  that  can  be  turned  to  profit- 
able Broadcasting  purposes,  perhaps  you  may  qualify 
for  a  job  before  the  microphone.  Let  the  Floyd  Gib- 
bons course  show  you  how  to  turn  your  natural 
ability  into  money!  But  talent  alone  may  not  bring 
you  Broadcasting  success.  You  must  have  a  thor- 
ough and  complete  knowledge  of  the  technique  of  this 
new  industry.  Many  a  singer,  actor,  writer  or  other 
type  of  artist  who  had  been  successful  in  different 
lines  of  entertainment  was  a  dismal  failure  before  the 
microphone.  Yet  others,  practically  unknown  a 
short  time  ago,  have  risen  to  undreamed  of  fame  and 
fortune.  Why?  Because  they  were  trained  in 
Broadcasting  technique,  while  those  others  who  failed 
were  not. 

Yet  Broadcasting  stations  have  not  the  time  to 
train  you.  That  is  why  the  Floyd  Gibbons  School  of 
Broadcasting  was  founded — to  bring  you  the  train- 
ing that  will  start  you  on  the  road  to  Broadcasting 
success.  This  new  easy  Course  gives  you  a  most

would  feel  if  a  rock  clutched  in  your 
own  hand  had  stoned  out  the  brains  of 
your  child.  Well,  Mr.  X  lived  with  thoughts 
like  these  for  sixteen  years. 

In  desperation  he  appealed  to  the  Voice 
of  Experience.  The  Voice  of  Experience 
told  him  there  was  nothing  he  could  do 
now  to  bring  back  his  dead  son.  Mr.  X 
had  not  really  committed  a  murder,  for 
the  motive  decided  the  deed.  Does  a 
soldier  who  kills  in  battle  consider  himself 
a  murderer,  fit  for  hanging?  Mr.  X  had 
merely  done  what  his  superiors  ordered. 

It  took  a  good  deal  of  persuasion  to  do 
the  trick,  but  finally  the  Greek  gentleman 
was  convinced.  In  grateful  appreciation 
he  sent  on  this  beautiful  prayer  rug. 

Jessica  Dragonette  has  received  hun- 
dreds of  gifts.  She'll  proudly  show  you 
a  hand-carved  grotto  with  the  Virgin 
Mary,  made  of  yellow  and  pink  and  white 
candy  roses,  a  girl  fan  sent  to  her.  A 
dainty  lace  handkerchief  yellow  with  age, 
which  an  old  Southern  lady  had  cherished 
since  her  wedding  day  and  that  she  now 
sent  for  Jessica  to  wear  on  hers. 

But  I  think  she  likes  best  of  all  this 
crude,  wooden  inkstand.  Because  it  rep- 
resents a  boy  who  was  saved  from  a  life 
of  crime.  It  happened  about  six  months  ago. 

Let's  call  this  boy  Tony.  Tony  was  a 
victim  of  the  depression,  one  of  the  for- 
lorn brigade  of  roaming,  penniless,  hope- 
less boys  who  wander  from  state  to  state. 
He  had  drifted  into  Lebanon,  Pennsyl- 
vania, with  his  buddies.  Going  into  a 
restaurant  he  offered  to  wash  dishes  or 
scrub  floors  for  a  real  meal. 

Tony  got  the  job  with  five  dollars  a 
week,  meals  and  a  pallet  in  the  back  of  the 
store. 

Tony  began  work  on  Monday.  Came 
Friday  night.  Cities  Service  was  on  the 
air.  Jessica  Dragonette  began  to  sing.  The 
clatter  of  dishes  died  away.  Tony  stood 
there,  a  dripping  plate  in  one  hand,  a 
towel  in  the  other. 

"Gee,  it's  beautiful,"  he  breathed  when 
she  finished  her  song.  He  seemed  preoc- 
cupied for  the  rest  of  the  evening.  Just 
before  closing  time  he  asked  the  boss  for 
his  wages.  A  bit  shamefaced  he  was.  He 
mumbled  that  he  was  restless,  was  headin' 
for  New  York,  and  had  better  move  on. 

The  next  morning  his  buddies  showed 
up.  They  seemed  greatly  excited  that  he 
had  taken  French  leave,  almost  threaten- 
ing. The  proprietor  never  saw  them  again. 

A FEW  days  later  Jessica  received  a 
scribbled  note  on  brown  store  paper. 
It  was  from  Tony.  He  poured  out  his 
troubled  heart.  "I  might  as  well  come 
clean,"  he  wrote.  "Me  and  my  buddies 
were  going  to  rob  the  restaurant  that  Fri- 
day night  when  everyone  was  gone.  My 
five  bucks  couldn't  keep  all  of  us.  We 
were  tired  of  floating  around  and  thought 
once  we'd  get  to  New  York  we  could  all 
get  something  to  do  there. 

"But  I've  always  loved  music  since  I 
was  a  shaver  and,  somehow,  lady,  when 
I  heard  you  sing,  I  just  couldn't  go 
through  with  it.     Maybe  I  was  a  sap. 


But  I  couldn't  steal   from  the  restaurant 
man  after  he'd  been  so  nice  to  me.  IB 
was  afraid  of  my  buddies,  though,  so  IB 
cleared  out.     I'll   manage  somehow,  and 
I'll  keep  straight  now." 

A  while  later  Miss  Dragonette  received 
the  inkstand  from  Tony. 

There  is  one  gift  that  Gene  and  Glenn, % 
champion  kidders,  never  kid  about.    It  is 
a  big,  old-fashioned  gold  watch. 

Mrs.  Elsie  Ferguson,  of  Maybee,  Michi- 
gan, gave  it  to  Gene.  You  see,  Mrs.  Fer- 
guson was  ill  when  she  first  tuned  in  on 
a  Gene  and  Glenn  program.  The  doc- 
tors insisted  nothing  was  physically  wrong 
with  her.  It  was  just  that  she  didn't 
want  to  live  any  longer.  Her  only  son 
had  been  killed  in  an  auto  accident,  and 
now  she  lay  broken  in  spirit. 

\A/11I'.X  she  first  heard  the  program  she 
couldn't  believe  her  ears.  Why,  Gene 
sounded  just  like  her  dead  son!  It  was 
as  if  he  had  come  back  to  her.  Fasci- 
nated, she  followed  the  adventures  of  the  > 
pair  daily.  She  lived  for  their  skit. 
Finally  she  wrote  to  Gene,  timidly  explain- 
ing just  what  his  broadcasts  meant  to  her. 
She  told  him  that  she  was  picturing  him 
as  her  son,  she  hoped  he  didn't  mind. 

He  didn't.  On  the  contrary,  he  told 
her  that  if  she  were  ever  in  Cleveland, 
he'd  be  delighted  to  see  her.  Last  year 
she  came  to  Cleveland  especially  to  see 
him.  Her  worn  old  eyes  caressed  his  face. 
As  for  Gene,  he  treated  her  as  if  she  w:ere 
really  his  mother.  He  took  her  to  the 
studio  where  he  was  broadcasting,  he 
showed  her  the  sights  of  Cleveland.  When 
she  came  back  home  she  sent  him  the 
watch  engraved,  "To  My  Hero." 

Jewelry  and  nick-nacks  aren't  the  only 
gifts  fans  send  their  pet  performers.  Some 
send  cold  cash.  One  fan  sent  Lanny  Ross 
a  fifty-dollar  bill,  anonymously,  which  he 
turned  over  to  charity.  Bradley  Kincaid, 
the  Kentucky  mountain  singer,  receives  a 
five-dollar  bill  every  month  from  an  old 
lady  of  seventy-two.  She  asks  him  to  sing 
a  certain  song  in  acknowledgment  of  her 
letter. 

This  has  been  going  on  for  years.  Since 
she  always  signs  her  letters  "A  Listener," 
Kincaid  doesn't  know  how  to  return  the 
money.  He's  written  repeatedly  to  the 
town  post-office,  but  his  notes  always  come 
back  unopened. 

A  few  months  ago  the  money  stopped 
coming  suddenly.  So  did  the  old  lady's 
letters.  Kincaid  thought  perhaps  she  had 
tired  of  his  songs.  But  last  week  a  nice, 
long  letter  came  with  a  twenty-dollar  bill 
enclosed  to  make  up  for  the  time  skipped. 
She  said  she  had  been  very  ill  and  could 
not  write.  On  account  of  her  illness,  she 
was  going  to  the  hospital  to  undergo  a 
serious  operation,  but  Kincaid  was  not 
to  worry  about  her.  If  he  didn't  hear 
from  her  for  quite  a  while,  he'd  under- 
stand she  couldn't  write.  In  case  she 
doesn't  come  back,  she  has  left  an  en- 
velope for  him  with  her  attorney,  "with 
something  that  may  come  in  handy  some 
day,  if  you  are  ever  up  against  it."

covery you  can  get  far  greater  tonic  results  than  with 
ordinary  yeast— regain  health,  and  in  addition  put

Not  only  are  thousands  quickly  gaining  beauty- 
bringing  pounds,  but  also  clear,  radiant  skin,  free- 
dom from  constipation  and  indigestion,  new  pep. 

Concentrated  7  times 

This  amazing  new  product,  Ironized  Yeast,  is  made 
from  specially  cultured  brewers'  ale  yeast  imported 
from  Europe— the  richest  and  most  potent  yeast 
known— which  by  a  new  process  is  concentrated  7 
times— made  7  times  more  powerful. 

But  that  is  not  all!  This  super-rich  yeast  is  then 
scientifically  ironized  with  3  special  kinds  of  iron 
which  strengthen  the  blood,  add  abounding  pep. 

Day  after  day,  as  you  take  Ironized 
Yeast,  watch  flat  chest  develop,  skinny 
limbs  round  out  attractively.  Constipa-

So  that's  why,  on  January  20th,  a  car 
sped  out  of  New  York  carrying  Graham 
and  Ann  Lee  and  Leslie  Joy,  of  the  NBC 
staff,  with  his  wife.  They  drove  at  break- 
neck speed  to  Elkton,  Maryland,  called  the 
elopers'  mecca  because  of  the  speed  with 
which  weddings  are  performed.  There 
they  snatched  a  license  and  were  married. 
Their  wedding  supper  was  held  in  the 
only  "open-all-night"  lunch  wagon  in 
Elkton.  And  Graham  and  Ann  Lee.  sit- 
ting on  the  high  stools  munching  ham- 
burgers and  giggling,  wouldn't  have 
swapped  that  lunch  wagon  for  New  York's 
swankiest  supper  room. 

KJ')VV  his  yt.uiiu  bride  is  always  at  his 
side.  When  he  hops  about  from  one 
place  to  another,  broadcasting  special  news 
and  sports  events,  he  takes  Ann  Lee  with 
him.  Recently  he  took  her  to  Kentucky, 
where  he  was  to  broadcast  the  famous 
Derby.  The  assignment  was  a  ripe  plum 
thrown  right  into  his  lap. 

But  when  he  reached  Kentucky  and 
looked  over  the  grounds,  he  got  a  little 
panicky.  A  sudden  fear  seized  him— that 
he  might  fall  down  on  the  job     You  see, 


McNamee's  fame  as  an  announcer  is  based 
on  his  intense  enthusiasm.  Well,  he  bad 
announced  so  many  horse  races  before 
that  this  Derby,  as  stirring  as  it  was,  was 
no  longer  new  to  him.  All  of  its  fasci- 
nating features  were  dulled,  because  he 
had  seen  them  so  often.  He  was  afraid, 
you  see,  that  he  might  sound  flat. 

But  Ann  Lee.  In  side  him.  was  hopping 
with  delight.  She  asked  him  a  hundred 
questions— petty  questions  that  might  even 
have  annoyed  some  other  husband.  Gra- 
ham answered  them  patiently  at  first,  and 
then  fell  in  with  her  eagerness.  Before 
he  realized  it,  he  was  joining  in  with  her 
fresh  enthusiasm  for  the  race.  In  a  mo- 
ment they  were  both  babbling  and  talk- 
ing about  the  Derby,  and  only  then  did 
McNamee  really  get  the  "feel'  'of  the 
exciting  race. 

When  he  yelled  excitedly  into  the  mike, 
he  spoke  not  as  a  horse-race  expert,  bur- 
dening the  listeners  with  technical  details, 
but  in  a  personal,  yet  thrilling  way,  as  he 
might  be  explaining  it  to  Ann  Lee.  And 
that's  why  Graham  McNamee  is  one  hus- 
band who  really  means  it  when  he  says 
of  his  bride,  "She  is  my  inspiration." 


Uncle  Answer  Man  Answers 


{Continued  from  pacje  62) 


A.  He  is  not.  At  least  that's  what  NBC 
in  Chicago  says.  Can  I  help  it  if  you 
won't  take  their  word  for  it. 

Q.  How  about  Frank  Munn? 

A.  No,  he's  kept  his  head  so  far.  But 
there  is  a  rumor  that  he's  weakening — he's 
supposed  to  be  engaged. 

Q.  We  gotta  know  about  Ted  Fiorito. 

A.  Well,  if  you  gotta  know,  you  gotta 
know.  At  one  time,  he  did  spell  it  Fio 
Rito,  but  it  mixed  up  so  many  people 
he  put  it  together  and  now  he  only  mixes 
up  half  as  many.  He  was  born  December 
30,  1901,  in  Newark,  N.  J„  and  is  of 
Italian  descent.  He  was  educated  musically 
at  the  American  and  Chicago  Conserva- 
tories of  Music.  You  probably  know  some 
of  the  seventy-two  song  hits  he's  written. 
They  include  "Laugh  Clown,  Laugh," 
"King  for  a  Day"  and  "Now  That  You've 
Gone."  He  is  five  feet  six  inches  tall, 
weighs  160  pounds  and  has  black  eyes  and 
hair.  He  likes  Italian  cooking — natur- 
ally. As  for  the  opposite  sex — he  likes 
jolly,  interesting  women.  But  he's  not 
married.  Nor  is  he  engaged.  He's  di- 
vorced. 

Q.  Are  Billy  and  Florence  Halop,  the 
juvenile  actors,  related? 

A.  Distantly.  They're  brother  and  sis- 
ter. 

Q.  If  you  please,  kind  sir,  give  us  the 
names  of  the  Commodores  Quartet  which 
sings  with  Gene  Arnold. 

A.  Right.  Reading  from  top  to  bottom : 
Cyril  Pitts  and  Thomas  Muir,  tenors ;  Her- 
man    F.     Larson,     baritone;  Reinhold 


Schmidt,  bass ;  and  Robert  Stewart  Childe, 
accompanist. 

Q.  Hi-de-hi,  Uncle,  tell  us  the  story 
about  Cab  Calloway. 

A.  Ho-de-ho,  nephews  and  nieces,  here 
you  are.  The  stork  didn't  drop  him  down 
the  chimney  that  day  in  Rochester,  N.  Y. 
It  was  Santa  Claus.  the  day  being  Decem- 
ber 25th,  1907.  He  has  three  sisters, 
Blanche,  Bernice  and  Camilla,  and  two 
brothers,  Elmer  and  John.  It  was  one  of 
those  sisters,  Blanche,  a  professional  singer, 
who  trained  him.  Before  his  band  went 
on  the  air  from  the  Cotton  Club  in  New 
York's  Harlem,  he  appeared  in  vaudeville 
and  musical  comedies  in  the  middle  west. 
He  is  five  feet  eight  inches  tall,  and  weighs 
163  pounds.  His  eyes  are  brown  and  hair 
is  black.  He  prefers  spicy  foods  and 
Italian  cooking.    He  is  married. 

Q.  You  say  in  the  April  issue  that  Don 
Ameche  is  not  married.    He  is. 

A.  Who  said  so? 

Q.  You  did. 

A.  Oh,  no.  we  didn't.  We  said  "etc." 
Of  course  he's  married. 

Q.  Isn't  it  time  you  explained  that  "Show 
Boat"  situation  again? 

A.  Omigosh,  that  is  right.  I  haven't 
explained  it  for  three  months.  Lanny  Ross 
and  Mary  Lou  are  not  in  love.  The  cast 
does  not  wear  costumes.  They  do  not 
learn  their  parts  by  heart.  The  broadcast 
is  not  done  from  a  real  showboat,  but 
from  a  New  York  studio.  In  fact,  noth- 
ing seems  to  be  sacred  any  more.  But 
you  asked  for  it.  Now  see  if  you  can, 
take  it.

RADIO  STARS 


Canned"  Music  Comes  Into  Its  Own 


{Continued  from  page  11) 


It  enabled  the  sponsor  to  hear,  at  one  sit- 
ting, a  complete  radio  campaign.  He  knew 
exactly  what  he  was  buying.  Furthermore, 
all  he  had  to  do  was  send  the  records  to 
the  stations.  There  was  no  waste  of  time, 
no  scrips  to  be  written  and  passed  on  for 
approval  and  no  talent  to  be  rehearsed. 

DOTH  NBC  and  CBS  make  use  of  tran- 
scriptions.  Not  over  their  own  key 
stations,  because  that's  where  the  live 
broadcasts  originate  and  it  isn't  necessary, 
but  they  send  records  of  these  to  other  sta- 
tions throughout  the  country. 

NBC,  for  example,  broadcasts -a  program 
now  for  the  Fitch  Company  on  which 
Wendel  Hall,  the  red-headed  music  maker 
of  "It  Ain't  Gonna  Rain  No  More,"  is  fea- 
tured. This  company  wanted  an  exten- 
sive network  and  such  things  as  difference 


in  time  in  various  sections  of  the  country 
and  unavailable  stations  brought  about  the 
decision  to  record  the  programs.  Canadian 
listeners,  for  example,  get  transcriptions. 

"Eno  Crime  Clues"  is  another  NBC  pro- 
gram which  uses  recordings.  There  is  a 
live  broadcast,  of  course,  each  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday  evening.  While  some  of  you 
hear  this  live  broadcast,  others  get  the 
"delayed"  one  but  it's  exactly  the  same. 

A  new  angle  of  transcriptions  was  offered 
recently  by  an  executive  who  said.  "You 
like  your  evenings  at  home — in  fact  they 
are  pretty  important  to  you.  The  radio  en- 
tertainer likes  them  just  as  much  as  you 
do.  Maybe  more  so,  because  he  has  fewer 
of  them.  In  making  the  electrical  trans- 
criptions he  works  in  the  day  time  as  do 
you  and  I,  and  so  can  be  home  more  often 
to  spend  an  evening  with  the  wife  and  kids."

experiences,  came  tramping  home  quite 
happy,  for  in  his  possession  were  twelve 
bottles  of  the  very  excellent  patent  medi- 
cine. He  was  sure  it  would  cure  his  step- 
mother's rheumatism. 

Like  so  many  other  aspiring  actors,  he 
knew  the  road  to  fame  pointed  to  New 
York.    On  the  way  he  met  crooked  book- 


ing agents,  who  stranded  him  in  tank 
towns.  For  weeks  he  went  without  a  job 
and  got  to  know  every  cheap  beanery  on 
the  road.  Somehow  the  sordidness  could 
not  shade  the  color  and  confidence  Joe 
had.  He  knew  he  would  have  to  exper- 
ience such  things  and  took  them  in  his

stride.  Each  time  another  dismal  disap- 
pointment popped  up,  the  struggling  trou- 
per would  trudge  back  to  his  tiny  hall- 
room  and  relive  the  scenes  of  his  childhood. 

THROUGH  wet  eyes  he  saw  quite  clearly 
'  four-year-old  Joe  Lopez.  Holding  tightly 
to  his  arm  was  his  younger  brother,  wait- 
ing in  a  blinding  rain  for  a  train  to  bring 
back  the  body  of  his  father.  Two  years 
before  that,  his  mother  had  died.  Now  his 
father— drowned.  Standing  there  on  the 
deserted  platform,  a  wave  of  responsibility 
swept  over  his  tiny  frame.  He  had  heard 
terrible  things  about  orphanages,  but  he'd 
live  through  it.  Shortly  afterwards,  a 
Mrs.  Cook  adopted  the  two  boys.  Having 
no  children  of  her  own,  she  gave  them  all 
her  devoted  attention.  The  boys  worship- 
ped her. 

Ringing  in  his  ears  was  the  boastful 
statement  ten-year-old  Joe  Cook  made 
on  that  triumphal  day  of  the  circus.  Then 
he  would  get  up  from  the  cold,  hard  bed, 
clench  his  teeth  and  continue  his  search 
for  a  job. 

Vaudeville  men  got  to  know  the  plucky 
kid.  They  admired  his  fight.  It's  hard  to 
keep  an  Irishman  down,  but  when  the 
Irishman  also  has  a  bit  of  Spanish  blood, 
too,  there's  no  stopping  him!  He  got 
Iwokings  in  better  theatres.  He  married 
the  little  girl  in  the  next  act.  They  had 
children.  Children  who  smelt  grease  paint 
before  fresh  air;  who  were  rocked  in 
swaying  day  coaches  instead  of  cradles. 
But  this  was  incidental  to  Joe.  The  one 
burning  goal  must  be  reached,  no  matter 
what  the  cost. 

An  engagement  in  Earl  Carroll's  "Van- 
ities" was  the  turning  point.  He  stole  the 
show  right  under  Peggy  Hopkins  Joyce's 
nose.  In  the  next  edition  of  the  revue, 
he  was  to  be  co-starred  with  Sophie  Tuck- 
er of  red-hot  mamma  fame.  Sophie  ob- 
jected to  sharing  the  top  billing  with  this 
unknown.  Twenty-four  hours  before  the 
curtain  rose,  Joe  made  the  famous  blues 
singer  a  sporting  proposition.  Would  she 
toss  for  the  highest  honors?  As  silken 
ladies  and  their  meticulous  escorts  filed 
into  the  theatre,  electricians  were  busily 
engaged  in  putting  the  name  of  Joe  Cook 
above  the  title  of  the  show.  He  had  won 
the  toss. 

In  the  background  stood  Mrs.  Cook  and 
the  four  children,  Josephine,  Joe,  Jr.,  Doris 
and  Leo,  the  last  named  for  Joe's  brother 
who  had  just  died.  Their  lives  were 
irregular  and  spasmodic.  Yet  they  waited 
patiently  for  the  day  when  the  great  home 
on  the  blue  lake  would  be  built.  Their 
father  never  stopped  telling  them  about  it. 
Mrs.  Cook  would  take  the  four  stage- 
struck  children  aside  and  impart  to  them 
knowledge  they  could  never  learn  behind 
footlights.  She  took  them  to  church,  and 
taught  them  how  to  read  and  write  for 
they  were  never  in  one  city  long  enough 
to  enroll  in  public  schools. 

Morris  Green,  a  producer  willing  to 
gamble,  offered  Joe  the  chance  to  star  in 
his  own  musical  comedy.  Green  was 
certain  that   this   man,   who  could  keep 


audiences  in  continuous  laughter  with  his 
timeless  story  of  why  he  couldn't  imitate 
four  Hawaiians,  could  carry  a  big  show 
all  by  himself.  Skeptics  disagreed.  "Kain 
or  Shine"  opened  without  a  try-out.  The 
next  day,  critics  heralded  Joe  Cook  as 
the  greatest  comedian  of  them  all.  At 
last  the  time  had  come  to  start  building 
his  dream  castle.  However,  he  didn't  let 
success  go  to  his  head.  Even  today,  there 
is  no  veneer  around  Joe  Cook.  Weekly  he 
sends  checks  to  his  step-mother  back  home 
in  Evansville. 

^jNE  bright  morning  the  family  motored 
to  Lake  Hopatcong.  Joe  took  one 
look  at  the  large  expanse  that  real  estate 
man  showed  him  and  bought  it.  Months 
of  planning  and  consultation  with  archi- 
tects followed.  It  must  be  perfect.  Joe 
insisted,  it  must  be  perfect !  There  would 
be  more  tricks  and  devices  than  in  any 
other  house  in  America.  Sliding  doors, 
invisible  chairs  and  a  miniature  theatre 
with  real  footlight  were  included  in  the 
blue-prints.  Silently  his  wife  watched. 
Eagerly  his  children  waited  for  the  chance 
to  live  in  this  story-book  house. 

Finally  it  was  completed.  Tennis  courts, 
motor  boats,  open  fireplaces,  trees  that 
sprouted  pineapples,  a  golf  course  that  had 
its  first  tee  on  a  four-story  water  tower, 
comic  butlers  garbed  in  rococo  liveries, 
speakeasies,  one  with  the  largest  collection 
of  steins  in  the  world,  spread  over  the 
grounds.  Alexander  Woollcott,  the  Town 
Crier,  called  it  "the  ninth  wonder  of  the 
world."  Epicureans  raved  over  the  de- 
licious barbecues  and  ravioli.  One  round 
of  parties  followed  another.  When  Joe 
went  to  California  to  make  pictures,  in- 
timate friends,  and  not  so  intimate  friends 
swarmed  the  place.  Mrs.  Cook  never 
saw  her  famous  husband  anymore.  He 
was  lost  in  a  sea  of  faces. 

She  had  luxuries  of  every  description. 
The  children  went  to  fine  schools.  Ser- 
vants carried  out  her  every  whim.  But 
this  could  not  make  her  happy.  In  the 
maelstrom  of  confusion  and  carnival,  she 
had  lost  her  mate.  Sometimes  she 
thought  if  going  back  to  cheap  hotels  and 
roaming  about  like  gypsies  would  bring 
Joe  back  to  her,  she  would  gladly  forsake 
her  luxuries  and  her  wonderful  home. 

The  parties  became  famous.  Small  for- 
tunes were  spent  on  food  and  drink.  Joe 
would  invite  a  person  at  the  drop  of  a 
hat.  And  people,  hearing  of  his  hospital- 
ity, came  by  car,  by  train,  and  by  plane. 

Frank  Capra,  clever  director  of  "It 
Happened  One  Night"  and  "Lady  for  A 
Day"  spent  one  Christmas  week  there.  The 
next  Yuletide  he  wired  his  extravagant 
host,  "Joe  you  have  spoiled  all  other 
Christmases  for  me."  It  is  that  kind  of  a 
place. 

Have  you  ever  thrown  a  party?  Well, 
then  you  know  what  your  place  looks  like 
the  day  after.  Empty  bottles,  cigarette 
burns,  tired  servants,  and  mounting  bills 
are  the  aftermath.  Mrs.  Cook  had  no 
day  after.  The  next  day  meant  more

The  party-throwing  became  a  mania 
with  Joe.  He  never  realized  how  much 
his  wife  hated  it.  I  doubt  if  he  does  today. 
Married  twenty  years,  her  life  became  his. 
People  who  met  her  told  her  how  lucky 
she  was.  She  should  be  on  top  of  the 
world. 

Professor  Pitkin  once  said  that  Life 
Begins  at  Forty.  Mrs.  Cook  disagreed. 
She  wanted  peace  at  forty ;  with  a  quiet 
home,  a  husband  and  her  children. 

THE  day  following  another  twenty-four 
fiesta,  she  managed  to  see  Joe  alone.  She 
told  him  frankly  that  unless  he  stopped 
making  his  home  a  public  institution  she 
would  have  to  leave.  He  gave  her  his 
word  it  would  stop.  And  deep  down  in 
his  heart  he  meant  to  keep  that  promise. 
Can  you  ask  Lindbergh  to  stop  flying? 
Or  keep  Babe  Ruth  from  hitting  home 
runs?  Well,  you  couldn't  stop  Joe  Cook 
from  giving  parties. 

With  the  children  away  at  school,  she 
decided  that  the  break  was  imminent. 
Silently  she  left  Sleepless  Hollow,  never 
to  return.  Disinterested  lawyers  arranged 
for  a  hasty  divorce.  Joe  was  given  cus- 
tody of  the  children.  He  couldn't  quite 
picture  his  beloved  home  without  her.  The 
night  after  the  judge  handed  down  the 
decree,  Joe  called  his  children  into  the 
library.  The  open  fire  lit  their  anxious 
faces. 

"Your  mother  is  not  dead.  She  has 
gone  away.  I  want  you  children  to  re- 
member one  thing :  If  you  want  to  go  to 


her  at  any  time,  let  me  know,  and  I 

find  her." 

The  children  nodded  slowly.  Somehc 
the  subject  was  never  mentioned  again. 

Fortunately  radio  came  into  Joe's  Hi 
at  the  right  time.    It  meant  a  new  mediu 
for   his   brilliant   talents.     Here  was 
chance  to  let  the  public  know  that  Jo 
Cook  could  be  funny  without  his  crazy  in 
ventions  and  knockabout  assistants.  He 
went  into  the  project  like  a  drowning  man, 
clinging  to  a  reef  to  keep  from  drowning. 
It  was  his  salvation. 

He'll  never  forget  that  first  night  of 
broadcasting.  After  the  performance,  he 
wandered  around  the  National  Broadcast- 
ing Company's  immense  studios  half  hop- 
ing to  meet  his  wife.  He  asked  everyone 
from  excited  press  agents  to  busy  page 
boys,  if  they  had  seen  her.  The  answer 
was  always  the  same. 

I'd  like  to  give  this  story  a  happy  end- 
ing, but  I  can't.  I'm  writing  facts,  not  a 
scenario. 

Mrs.  Cook  re-married  happily.  Joe  sub- 
merged himself  in  his  new  work.  As  for 
cruelly  innocent  Sleepless  Hollow — it  still 
stands.  It's  a  lovely  place,  even  with 
parties  going  full  blast.  When  the  crowd 
has  gone,  and  quiet  steals  over  the  place, 
it's  magic  touches  your  heart.  You  know 
what  it  stands  for.  You  admire  it,  and 
yet  hate  it.  It  gave  happiness.  It  took 
some  away. 

I  wonder  if  the  little  boy  who  stood 
so  boldly  on  a  slack  wire  so  many  years 
ago.  and  dreamt  of  its  being,  isn't  really 
sorry  he  aspired  to  such  dizzy  heights ! 

For  he  has  paid  the  price.

Do  you  think  they  would  let  me  see 
the  Chase  &  Sanborn  program  if  I  made 
the  tour  at  8  :00  o'clock  P.  M.  on  Sunday 
night  ? 

Very  truly  yours, 
Stanley  Nelson.

Mr.  Stanley  Nelson, 
Cedarhurst.  L.  I. 
Dear  Mr.  Nelson : 

I  don't  know  whether  or  not  you  would 
get  into  a  broadcast  if  you  took  the  tour 
at  the  time  you  say.  Why  not  communi- 
cate with  the  NBC?  Incidentally,  if  you 
were  to  mention  two  or  three  programs 
you  wish  to  visit,  instead  of  limiting  your 
choice  to  one,  you  might  have  a  better 
chance  of  getting  tickets.  Another  thought 
is  that  a  letter  to  the  sponsor  of  a  pro- 


gram might  bring  a  more  prompt  reply 
than  would  a  letter  to  the  station. 

Very  truly  yours, 
Curtis  Mitchell,  Editor

Dear  Mr.  Mitchell : 

Since  getting  your  letter  I  have  written 
to  the  National  Broadcasting  Company 
asking  them  to  send  me  two  tickets  to 
Walter  Winchell,  Rudy  Vallee  or  the 
Lady  Next  Door,  and  I  have  written  to 
Pepsodent  whose  address  I  got  out  of 
an  advt  in  a  magazine  asking  for  two 
tickets  to  the  Goldbergs,  and  to  Mr.  Ford 
in  Detroit  asking  to  let  me  see  Fred  War- 
ing and  to  the  Columbia  Broadcasting  Sys- 
tem for  Edwin  C.  Hill  or  Burns  and  Gracie 
Allen  and  to  The  Fire  Chief  and  to  Buck 
Rogers  also  asking  for  two  tickets. 

Well,  Mr.  Mitchell,  the  National  Broad-

I  Tried  to  See  a  Broadcast 


(Continued  from  paijc  94) 


casting  Company  wrote  to  me  and  said, 
"Your  request  for  broadcast  tickets  has 
been  received  and  we  regret  that  we  are 
unable  to  accommodate  you.  The  use  of 
broadcast  tickets  is  limited  solely  to  urgent 
business  requirements.  Although  our  fa- 
cilities are  modern  and  sufficiently  spa- 
cious for  effective  broadcasting,  it  is  im- 
possible to  provide  accommodations  for 
the  many  thousands  of  interested  listeners 
who  request  admittance  each  week.  We 
have  inaugurated  a  tour  of  our  operating 
facilities  here  in  Radio  City  for  those  in- 
terested in  seeing  the  more  intimate  details 
of  radio  broadcasting.  We  are  pleased 
to  enclose  a  descriptive  folder." 

So  I  looked  at  the  folder  and  right  in 
the  middle  of  it  there  is  a  picture  of  their 
biggest  broadcasting  studio,  which  they  say 
is  the  biggest  broadcasting  studio  in  the 
world  and  seats  over  12  hundred  people. 
And  on  the  back  of  this  folder  it  says  how 
it  costs  you  40c  to  see  all  the  places  they 
tell  you  about  in  the  folder,  which  I  am 
enclosing  for  you.  So  I  wrote  to  them  and 
said,  "I  can  not  understand  why  I  can 
not  get  two  tickets  for  a  broadcast.  Your 
letter  says  that  the  tickets  are  limited  to 
urgent  business  requirements  but  the  folder 
says  your  big  studio  seats  12  hundred  peo- 
ple and  it  seems  to  me  when  a  broadcast 
has  been  on  the  air  for  many  months  the 
business  requirements  should  have  been 
taken  care  of  and  you  should  be  able  to 
spare  two  tickets  for  me.  I  also  see  that 
it  costs  40c  to  go  through  Radio  City  but 
it  does  not  say  that  you  see  a  broadcast  too. 
I  would  be  willing  to  pay  the  40c  each  if 
I  could  see  the  Goldbergs  or  Jimmy  Du- 
rante so  please  send  me  the  two  tickets 
for  them  and  I  will  send  you  the  80c."' 

The  Pepsodent  Co.,  who  put  on  the  Gold- 
bergs, said :  "Thank  you  very  much  for 
your  kind  letter  telling  us  of  your  interest 
in  our  radio  program,  The  Goldbergs.  We 
can  assure  you  that  it  is  a  pleasure  for 
The  Pepsodent  Company  to  be  able  to 
present  a  feature  of  such  entertaining  mer- 
its. We  are  very  sorry  but  it  will  be 
impossible  for  us  to  grant  you  permission 
to  visit  the  studio  at  the  time  of  the  Gold- 
berg family  broadcast.  The  program  is 
presented  in  a  small  studio  at  the  New 
York  offices  of  the  National  Broadcasting 
Company  and  no  one  is  permitted  in  the 
studio  at  the  time.  We  appreciate  your 
courtesy  and  interest  in  writing  and  hope 
this  clever  feature  will  continue  to  be  a 
source  of  pleasure  to  you." 

The  Cocomalt  people  wrote  me,  "The 
staff  of  the  Buck  Rogers  radio  presenta- 
tion has  made  a  definite  ruling  that  will 
not  permit  a  studio  audience.  As  you 
know  the  Buck  Rogers  adventures  are 
supposed  to  take  place  in  the  25th  Cen- 
tury. The  program  is  built  entirely  on 
the  imagination.  You  can  appreciate  that 
the  illusion  of  the  program  would  be  de- 
stroyed if  a  studio  audience  were  permitted. 
Buck  Rogers  of  course  is  pleased  to  hear 
that  you  greatly  enjoy  his  program.  He 
promises  that  he  will  do  his  utmost  to 
give  you  the  maximum  entertainment  dur- 
ing the  future  broadcasts." 


But  some  guys  I  never  even  wrote  to, 
the  Liggett  &  Myers  Tobacco  Co.,  go  and 
send  me  two  tickets  for  the  Chesterfield 
program  on  Saturday  night  at  139  West 
44th  Street.  That  strikes  me  as  kind  of 
funny,  because  that  is  not  where  the  Co- 
lumbia Broadcasting  System  is,  but  I  guess 
I  will  go  anyhow.  That  address  don't  sound 
right  and  I  think  maybe  it  is  a  gag  of 
some  sort  and  if  it  is  a  gag  I  think  you 
ought  to  know  about  it.

Dear  Mr.  Mitchell : 

Well,  it  was  like  I  thought  it  would  be. 
I  have  seen  a  broadcast,  but  I  still  can 
not  get  into  a  radio  station.  This  broad- 
cast was  in  a  theater  which  has  been  re- 
modeled and  does  not  look  like  a  broad- 
casting station  like  I  see  them  in  the 
magazines. 

I  got  to  this  Columbia  Radio  Play- 
house about  a  half  an  hour  early  at  8  :30 
P.  M.  and  it  was  already  more  than  half 
full.  By  the  time  it  started  the  place  was 
full  of  people  and  most  of  them  were 
pretty  noisy  so  I  am  glad  I  got  there  early 
and  got  a  good  seat. 

Well,  first  a  guy  came  out  in  front 
of  the  orchestra  which  was  on  the  stage 
and  not  where  the  orchestra  ought  to  be 
and  I  knew  right  away  it  was  Andre  Kos- 
telanetz  because  everybody  around  me 
said,  "Oh,  look,  that  is  Andre  Kostel- 
anetz." 

And  then  out  came  a  big  blonde  in  a 
black  evening  dress  and  she  was  not  a 
bad  looking  dame.  And  everybody  said 
"Oh,  look,  that  is  Grete  Stuckgold,"  so 
I  knew  who  that  was. 

Well,  I  am  still  anxious  to  go  to  a  real 
radio  studio  so  I  guess  I  will  try  again. 

Very  truly  yours,

Dear  Mr.  Mitchell : 

I  am  very  much  disappointed  because  it 
does  not  look  as  though  it  is  possible  for 
an  ordinary  person  ever  to  get  into  Radio 
City  to  see  a  broadcast. 

Here  is  another  letter  I  got  from  the 
National  Broadcasting  Company.  It  says, 
"We  are  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  May 
25th  and  wish  to  advise  that  the  guided 
tour  of  our  studios  does  not  include  an 
entire  broadcast.  However,  during  the 
course  of  the  tour  you  will  doubtless  see 
a  broadcast  going  over  the  air  for  a  few 
moments,  or  a  rehearsal  of  one  of  the 
commercials.  However,  we  cannot  guar- 
antee that  this  will  be  the  case.  We  sin- 
cerely regret  that  it  is  not  possible  to  take 
care  of  all  our  interested  listeners  in  the

matter  of  broadcast  tickets,  but  you  may 
be  assured  that  regardless  of  the  number 
of  months  that  a  program  has  been  on  the 
air,  we  still  have  more  requests  from  busi- 
ness associates  than  we  can  take  care  of. 
The  two  programs  that  you  mention  un- 
fortunately do  not  have  guests.  Jimmy 
Durante  orginates  from  the  Coast,  and  the 
Goldbergs  never  have  visitors." 

Well,  what  the  hell,  Mr.  Mitchell,  the 
first  time  I  wrote  to  them  Jimmy  Durante 
was  in  New  York,  according  to  the  radio 
columns  in  the  papers,  and  why  did  be 
have  to  wait  so  long  that  Jimmy  Durante 
went  back  to  the  coast?  And  why  don't 
the  Goldbergs  have  visitors?  They  don't 
deal  with  the  25th  Century  and  they  don't 
have  to  be  in  a  small  studio  do  they?  And 
I  never  did  hear  from  Henry  Ford,  and  I 
got  a  card  from  Texaco  saying  that  Wynn, 
who  I  wrote  to  May  16,  is  off  the  air  since 
May  19  and  won't  be  back  until  Fall.  But 
this  is  what  burns  me  up. 

I  walked  into  the  NBC  building  which 
is  very  pretty  and  asked  a  guy  with  Watch- 
man on  his  hat  how  to  get  a  couple  of 
tickets  to  see  a  program.  And  he  told  me 
to  see  the  dame  who  sold  the  tourists 
tickets  in  the  middle  of  the  building.  So 
I  go  up  to  her  and  say,  "Say,  can  you  tell 
me  how  to  get  a  couple  of  tickets  to  see 
a  broadcast?    Can  I  get  them  here?" 

And  she  says  to  me,  "No.  You  have 
to  get  them  through  the  sponsor." 

And  I  say  to  her,  because  I  have  already 
tried  it  without  any  luck,  "Oh,  so  all  I  got 
to  do  is  write  the  sponsor  and  he'll  send 
me  tickets?" 

And  she  says  to  me,  "Oh,  it  won't  do 
you  any  good  to  write  the  sponsor.  You 
got  to  have  a  business  connection." 

So  I  went  away  from  there.  I'm  lucky 
to  have  my  job  painting  signs,  let  alone 
a  business  connection. 

Maybe  you  can  tell  me  how  to  get  some 
tickets  to  see  the  program  some  time. 
What  do  you  think  my  chances  of  seeing 
a  broadcast  it  I  take  the  tour? 

Very  truly  yours, 
Stanley  Nelson

come. In  the  meantime,  I  am  still  anxious 
to  see  a  real  broadcast  from  a  real  studio. 
Now  that  I'm  one  of  your  writers,  could 
you  send  me  a  couple  of  tickets? 

Hopefully,

and  filling  cavities,  and  his  nights  in  lacing 
shoes.  When  the  shop  let  him  go,  he 
turned  to  elevator  running,  binding  books, 
working  in  a  mail  order  house.  Presently, 
with  a  dentist's  sheepskin  tucked  under  his 
arm,  he  returned  to  his  old  home  in  Bay- 
onne,  New  Jersey,  to  practice.  Thirteen 
years  passed.  During  those  thirteen  years, 
many  things  happened.  He  married,  for 
instance;  and  fathered  a  baby,  blonde- 
haired  girl.  He  studied  law,  going  to 
school  in  the  morning  and  practicing  den- 
tistry afternoons  and  evenings. 

r\URIXG  that  thirteen  years  he  had  a 
second  graduation  day — and  found  him- 
self a  consultant  which  involved  medical 
and  legal  cases.  With  two  careers  safely 
tucked  under  his  belt,  you  would  think  that 
any  ordinary  man  would  be  content  to  face 
the  future  with  no  more  than  dreams  of 
an  estate  or  a  yacht,  or  journeys  abroad. 
But  Bill  Bacher  has  never  been  called  an 
ordinary  man.  He  discovered  radio  one 
night  when  he  heard  a  program  which  was 
so  inept  that  he  set  out  to  prove  that  he 
could  write  a  better  one.  In  twenty-four 
hours  he  stormed  the  doors  of  one  of  ra- 
dio's high  executives,  announcing  that  he 
could  produce  as  good  shows  as  were  on 
the  air.  It  takes  self-confidence  to  do  a 
thing  like  that.  It  takes  a  certain  sort  of 
disregard  of  other  men's  opinions — plus  a 
lot  of  ability  with  which  to  prove  your 
worth.  There  is  something  about  Bill 
Bacher  when  he  stands  before  you  that  is 
impressive.  Somewhat  shorter  than  me- 
dium height,  unusually  thin,  with  a  shock 
of  hair  that  flares  to  the  sky,  you  know 
that  he  is  a  positive  personality.  His  posi- 
tiveness  must  have  impressed  that  impor- 
tant radio  executive,  because  Bill  was  given 
a  chance. 

The  executive  wanted  a  sketch  for  a 
children's  hour,  dramatizing  some  well- 
known  fable.  That  was  on  Monday.  On 
Tuesday,  Bill  was  back  with  his  radio 
script. 

To  shorten  a  long  story,  Bill  went  out 
of  that  office  with  a  check  for  one  hun- 
dred dollars,  and  with  an  order  to  write 
six  more  of  the  series.  And  that  was  the 
beginning  of  his  career  as  a  creator  of 
radio  shows,  and  the  end  of  his  dentistry 
and  law.  Perhaps  you  remember  that 
series  several  years  ago  when  the  Na- 
tional Dairy  Company  presented  dramatiz- 
ed trials  which  never  took  place.  Here 
Napoleon  and  Benedict  Arnold  and  Aaron 
Burr  were  tried.  Clarence  Darrow,  Dudley 
Field  Malone  and  other  famous  attorneys 
were  counsel.  Bill  Bacher  wrote  those  pro- 
grams. 

Now  exactly  what  does  a  radio  writer 
and  director  have  to  do? 

First  of  all,  there  are  lines  to  be  writ- 
ten, words  to  be  put  into  the  mouths  of 
the  characters  he  has  created.  After  the 
original  script  is  completed  there  must  be 
conferences  in  which  the  musical  director 
must  fit  his  part  of  the  program  to  Mr. 
Bacher's  demands.  And  then  there  are 
conferences  with  actors.  In  these,  the 
entire  cast  is  assembled.    Seated  in  a  long 


row  of  easy  chairs,  with  Bill  before  them 
like  a  teacher  facing  his  class,  those  actors 
that  we  hear  on  the  "Show  Boat"  program 
go  through  their  lines,  placing  on  the 
words  their  own  interpretation. 

Quite  often  they  are  wrong,  you  know. 
Only  an  author  understands  just  what  he 
means  to  say.  Only  Bill  Bacher,  listening 
to  them  as  they  read,  knows  whether  or 
not  their  interpretation  is  right.  If  it 
fails  to  achieve  the  proper  significance, 
either  he  changes  it  or  instructs  the  actors 
just  how  those  words  must  sound.  Only 
when  the  cast  has  been  drilled  until  it  is 
letter  perfect  are  Mr.  Bacher's  duties  in 
that  direction  completed.  And  then  there 
must  be  conferences  with  the  sound-effects 
men.  In  the  '"Show  Boat"  program  and  in 
the  "Palmolive  Beauty  Box  Theatre"  pres- 
entations, many  sound  effects  are  evoked 
to  secure  a  feeling  of  time  and  place.  Quite 
often  there  are  crowd  noises.  These  crowd 
noises  come  from  a  mob  of  actors  who 
are  hired  by  Bill  Bacher  to  cluster  around 
a  mike.  Lest  you  think  it  is  an  easy  ac- 
complishment, a  crowd  noise  is  not  a 
spontaneous  thing  except  when  heard  in 
the  raw.  A  crowd's  noise  when  made  in 
the  studio  must  be  carefully  drilled ;  the 
voices  must  blend  and  not  one  may  stand 
out  so  that  its  words  acquire  unmeant  im- 
portance. All  of  which  means  more 
rehearsals  for  Mr.  Bacher  and  his 
cast. 

Sometimes  the  sound  engineers  can'11 
provide  exactly  the  noise  he  wants  for  a 
certain  situation.  In  this  event,  Bill  Bachei 
and  the  engineers  confer  and  experiment 
They  have  endless  rows  of  trinkets  ant 
toys  and  little  machines  with  which  tc 
achieve  their  microphonic  results.  Some- 
times it  takes  two  or  three  hours  to  gei 
what  they  seek.  But  in  the  end,  what  yot 
hear  on  the  air  is  what  Bill  Bachei 
decrees  is  right  for  you  to  hear  on  th< 
air. 

IF  ever  you  are  fortunate  enough  t(| 
visit  Radio  City  during  a  "Show  Boat' 
broadcast,  or  during  a  presentation  of  th< 
"Palmolive  Beauty  Box  Theatre,"  you  wil 
find  him  mounted  on  a  platform  a  fev 
feet  removed  from  the  orchestra  director 
Bill  Bacher  stands  before  his  crew  of  ac 
tors,  and  out-acts  them  all.  Never  sayinj 
a  word,  never  allowing  his  own  voice  to  g( 
out  of  the  room,  but  throwing  his  person 
ality  into  the  voices  and  inflections  of  thosi 
about  him  he  nevertheless  colors  ever 
single  syllable  that  enters  the  mike. 

I  hope  sometime  you  have  the  luck  t< 
see  him.  In  looks,  he  is  a  combinatioi 
of  Bernarr  Macfadden,  Percy  Grainge 
and  Harpo  Marx.  His  jaws  move  end 
lessly  and  bets  have  been  laid  that  he  ca) 
chew  gum  against  Will  Rogers.  Alway 
his  arms  beat  a  delirious  tempo,  bringinj 
actors  up  to  the  mike,  sending  them  bacl< 
creating  thunder  and  wind  and  lightning 
and  mixing  them  all  like  a  master  painter 
until  the  finished  product  is  the  thing  o 
beauty  that  you  hear. 

Decidedly,  Bill  Bacher  is  no  ordinar1 
man.

The  August  issue  of  Radio  Stars  made 
he  statement  that  "Play,  Fiddle,  Play" 
vas  not  written  by  Emery  Deutsch.  The 
nformation  was  given  this  magazine  by  a 


source  considered  authoritative,  but  we  have 
just  learned  that  Mr.  Deutsch  did  write  the 
composition.  We  are  glad  to  make  this

ER  interest  in  education  caused  her  to 
start  the  magazine  with  the  rather 
absurd  title  "Just  Babies,"  but  it  was  a 
§ood  magazine.  Up  near  her  home  on 
the  Hudson  she  observed  that  the  farmer 

■  !ads  just  sat  around  in  the  winter  twiddling. 
..  Which  was  bad  for  their  thumbs,  their 
J  income  and  their  morale.    She  and  friends 

■  decided  to  find  work  for  them  and,  about 
ten  years  ago,  long  before  Henry  Ford 
stumbled  on  the  idea,  they  brought  a  fac- 

.  tory  to  the  Hyde  Park  farm  by  founding 
the  Val-Kill  Furniture  Factory.  Experts 
taught  the  hands  how  to  make  colonial 
furniture  in  the  way  the  colonial  crafts- 
men did,  every  inch  by  hand. 
Mrs.  Roosevelt  is  a  member  of  at  least 

.  a  dozen  different  organizations,  a  great 


many  of  them  peace  groups.  Her  mem- 
bership dates  back  long  before  the  elec- 
tion of  her  husband  to  his  high  office. 
When  her  husband  fell  ill  years  ago  she 
went  into  the  National  League  of  Women 
Voters  hammer  and  tongs  for  she  saw  a 
possibility  of  his  lapsing  into  the  state  of 
a  chronic  invalid  unless  she  could  muster 
into  her  home  the  live  and  active  men  and 
women  who  were  doing  things  in  the 
world  of  politics.  She  succeeded.  The 
Hyde  Park  table  remained  a  place  of  ani- 
mation despite  F.  D.'s  illness.  It  kept  him 
alive. 

But  the  real  reason  she  steams  about 
the  country  is  one  which  your  ordinary 
common  sense  can  explain.  Out  of  your

hifahitiV  words  of  professional  critics. 
White  House  dwellers  are  human  beings 
and  Mr.  Roosevelt,  naturally  listens  more 
attentively  to  his  wife  than  to  the  reports 
of  experts  who  surround  him.  She  has 
a  knack  of  finding  out  what  people  are 
thinking  and  has  the  ability  to  tell  it  to 
him  in  a  way  that  produces  results. 

THE  newspapers  kidded  her  a  great  deal 

when  she  visited  the  West  Virginia  min- 
ing region,  but  out  of  that  visit  has  come 
the  various  home  subsistence  projects,  the 
home  owning  plan,  and  the  President's  vig- 
orous relief  action.  He  acted  swiftly  to 
roll  up  the  red  tape  in  order  to  bring  re- 
lief directly  to  the  people  who  needed  it. 

In  the  course  of  a  speech  delivered  short- 
ly after  her  return  from  this  trip  she  told 
the  following  story :  "I  could  not  but 
think  of  the  mother  I  had  seen  a  few  weeks 
before  whose  child  had  died.  It  had  died 
because  it  had  slept  on  a  cold  wet  bed.  It 
had  slept  on  that  kind  of  bed  because  there 
were  no  panes  in  the  windows  and  the  rain 
came  in.  They  lived  in  that  sort  of  place 
because  a  few  days  before  they  had  been 
evicted  from  the  home  they  could  no  longer 
keep  with  the  father  out  of  work.  When 
the  sheriff  came  to  evict  them  she  had 
pleaded  with  him  to  let  them  stay  until 
her  baby  was  better.  But  he  had  replied: 
'I  ain't  here  to  nurse  your  goddam  kid!'" 

Yes,  she  said  the  naughty  word.  It  was 
a  speech  which  drew  tears  from  a  national 
gathering  of  relief  workers  accustomed  to 
recitals  of  suffering.  It  was  also  instru- 
mental in  speeding  up  projects  which 
brought  material  relief  to  those  who  were 
most  sadly  in  need. 

The  friendship  between  her  husband  and 
herself  goes  back  to  childhood.  They 
were  both  Roosevelts,  sixth  cousins,  she 
the  daughter  of  Elliott  Roosevelt,  born 
October  11,  1884.  They  met  at  the  White 
House  and  they  met  at  Oyster  Bay  when 
T.  R.  was  alive — to  her  always  Uncle 
Ted.  And  they  met  at  Hyde  Park  and 
they  met  abroad.  She  was  educated  prin- 
cipally by  private  tutors,  but  later  she  at- 
tended the  school  of  Madame  Souvestre, 
a  Frenchwoman,  in  England. 

Both  of  them  had  in  common  a  desire 
to  do  something  for  the  good  of  the  peo- 
ple. And  both,  born  with  the  inexhaus- 
tible Roosevelt  energy  were  moved  to  do 
something  about  the  achievement  of  the 
aim,  in  spite  of  their  wealth.  Both  were 
liberals  and  idealists,  enamored  of  their 
age.  Both  had  a  love  of  the  sea  and  of 
ships.  They  had  definite  ideas  on  mar- 
riage. In  short,  they  had  a  great  deal  in 
common.  They  fell  in  love,  were  married 
March  17,  1905,  Uncle  Ted  giving  the 
bride  away. 

XA/HEN  her  son  Elliott  and  his  wife 
"'decided  to  get  a  divorce,  it  was  Mrs. 
Roosevelt,  his  mother,  who  made  the  an- 
nouncement. But  not  until  she  had  flown 
to  California  to  talk  it  over  with  her  son! 
Another  White  House  occupant,  fearful 
of  public  opinion,  might  have  bullied  them 
into  remaining  together.  But  the  Presi- 
dent's wife  is  a  woman  of  convictions.  She 
feels  that  two  people  who  cannot  live  hap- 
pily together  should  separate. 


Despite  the  variety  and  complexity  of 
her  outside  interests  Mrs.  Roosevelt  knows 
the  job  of  housekeeping.  Until  she  came 
to  the  White  House  she  was  her  own 
housekeeper,  managing  ten  servants,  su- 
pervising expenditures,  making  menus,  and 
attending  to  all  the  other  details.  To 
teach  her  children  how  to  run  a  house  she 
had  a  cottage  erected  at  a  remote  corner 
of  the  Kr'um  Elbow  Estate,  where  they 
did  all  the  work,  unaided  by  servants  who 
were  not  even  allowed  near  the  place. 

The  hospitality  of  the  Roosevelts  in 
their  Hyde  Park  home  has  always  been 
Southern  in  its  lavishness.  Mrs.  Roosevelt 
once  said  that  it  is  easier  to  set  the  table 
with  extra  plates  for  possible  guests  than 
to  bother  putting  them  on  if  and  when 
they  arrive.  Since  coming  to  Washing- 
ton she  has  reduced  the  cost  of  White 
House  housekeeping  twenty-five  per  cent, 
yet  the  Roosevelts  do  more  entertaining 
than  any  of  the  other  families  who  have 
lived  there.  Guests  come  for  breakfast, 
for  dinner,  for  luncheon  and  for  tea. 
Ramsay  MacDonald  will  always  remem- 
ber the  scrambled  eggs  Mrs.  Roosevelt 
cooked  one  night  after  a  late  conversa- 
tion when  all  the  servants  were  in  bed. 

XARS.  ROOSEVELT  has  written  volu- 
'  minously  for  the  magazines  and  news- 
paper syndicates  since  entering  the  White 
House.  She  has  also  delivered  a  great 
many  radio  addresses  and  at  this  moment 
is  preparing  to  deliver  an  entirely  new 
series.  For  all  of  these  things  she  has  been 
paid.  But  she  has  in  no  instance  kept  the 
money  for  herself.  The  money  for  her 
current  broadcasts,  I  happen  to  know,  she 
will  not  even  see.  The  $3,000  she  gets  for 
each  broadcast  goes  directly  to  the 
Friends'  Service  Committee,  a  group  which 
has  done  what  will  one  day  be  described 
as  the  most  remarkable  social  welfare  job 
of  the  depression.  This  committee  has  de- 
voted itself  to  the  rehabilitation  of  men 
and  women  broken  by  the  unemployment, 
poverty,  financial  reverses,  and  other  rav- 
ages produced  by  the  crisis. 

The  money  received  for  other  of  her 
activities  have  passed  through  her  hands 
to  a  designated  cause  or  charity  with  equal 
celebrity.  She  told  Senator  Schall,  of 
Minnesota,  who  rather  resented  her  earn- 
ing this  money,  that  she  accepted  money 
for  her  writing  in  order  to  play  fair  with 
all  publications.  When  he  questioned  her 
about  her  other  earnings  she  told  him  that 
neither  the  Todhunter  School  nor  the 
Val-Kill  Factory  had  ever  earned  enough 
to  pay  an  income  tax,  that  she  had  in- 
vested in  both  of  them  far  more  than  she 
had  ever  withdrawn. 

Senator  Schall  is  not  alone  in  his  fault- 
finding and  each  day  a  certain  portion  of 
the  mail  contains  criticism  of  the  activity 
of  the  President's  wife.  Part  of  it  is  the 
result  of  an  innate  conservatism  which 
would  make  of  her  a  queen,  gilded  and  al- 
mighty ;  part  of  it — and  this  part  is  going 
fast — is  the  suspicion  that  she  was  hinder- 
ing the  President  in  his  work  by  all  her 
semi-commercial  activity.  Well,  she  isn't. 
This  you  can  have  on  the  highest  authority. 
She  is  the  greatest  help  a  White  House 
occupant  ever  had. 


Washington  abounds  with  stories  of  her 
generosity  and  goodness.  There  is  the 
story  of  the  little  girl  she  had  noticed  in 
her  travels,  who  was  threatened  with 
blindness  because  of  a  cataract  on  her 
eye.  Mrs.  Roosevelt  stood  the  expense  of 
an  operation. 

In  the  West  Virginia  mud  a  miner'i 
wife  spoke  dreamily  of  possessing  an  elec- 
tric mixer  some  day.  The  expression  in 
her  eyes  and  the  tone  of  her  voice  was 
such  that  the  President's  wife  remembered 
and  sent  her  one. 

A  mother  wrote  her  that  she  was  wor- 
ried about  her  son  in  a  C.  C.  C.  camp. 
Mrs.  Roosevelt  found  out  for  her,  at  great 
effort,  that  her  son  was  all  right. 

THESE  are  the  stories,  and  there  are 

hundreds  more.  Wherever  she  goes,  she 
finds  things  of  this  sort  to  do.  The  news- 
paper-women who  went  to  the  West  In- 
dies with  her  marveled  at  her  goodness. 
She  walked  through  slimy,  malodorous  al- 
leys, into  home  after  home,  talking  at 
length  and  in  detail  with  the  occupants, 
showing  a  sympathy  and  understanding 
beyond  comparison.  One  woman  said  that 
when  Mrs.  Roosevelt  found  no  human  be- 
ings around  to  cherish,  she  gave  her  at- 
tention to  the  battered  dogs  that  whim- 
pered in  boney  hunger  on  the  streets. 

The  reporters  marveled  most  at  her 
energy.  She  could  walk  all  day,  talk  all 
afternoon  and  then  fly  a  hundred  miles  to 
preside  at  a  conference  where  she  would 
deliver  the  principal  address.  When  the 
guests  had  departed  she  would  attend  to 
a  correspondence  of  several  hundred  letters 
before  retiring.  This  is  not  a  fragment 
of  mythology,  it  is  a  fact  vouched  for  by 
all  who  have  known  her. 

For  all  her  drive  and  devotion  to  the 
public  interest,  she  is  the  simplest,  most 
modest  and  least  self  conscious  First  Lady 
the  country  has  ever  known.  Most  of  the 
adverse  criticism  she  has  received  is  the 
result  of  her  effort  to  be  agreeable  to  those 
hard  working  men  and  women  who  report 
and  photograph  the  news  of  the  day.  Mrs. 
Roosevelt,  asked  to  pause  and  pose,  pauses 
because  she  thinks — poor  devil,  it's  his  job! 
Out  of  her  consideration  has  come  the 
avalanche  of  publicity  she  has  received. 

Her  habit  of  visiting  places  afoot,  walk- 
ing about  unescorted,  driving  her  own  car 
without  guards,  and  the  other  unconven- 
tional things  she  does,  are  all  the  result  of 
a  simplicity  which  will  not  be  spoiled.  She 
insists  on  regarding  herself  as  an  ordinary 
individual  and  acts  accordingly.  She  is  glad 
that  her  position  in  the  White  House  en- 
ables her  to  earn  large  checks  because  the 
causes  she  is  interested  in  are  good  ones 
and  they  need  large  checks. 

Mrs.  Roosevelt  will  continue  to  be  the 
country's  greatest  woman  traveler,  just  as 
she  will  continue  to  do  everything  possible 
to  make  world  peace  possible,  lessen  the 
suffering  of  mothers  and  children,  give 
ambitious  youth  greater  opportunity  and 
fight  suffering  and  oppression  wherever 
encountered. 

The  country  is  just  beginning  to  settle 
down  to  having  a  remarkable  woman  in 
the  White  House.  The  wife  of  President 
Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt. 


What  would  you  do  if  you  were  childless  and  had  the  opportunity  to  adopt  a  baby?  That's  the  question  facing 
many  of  our  radio  artists.    RADIO  STARS  will  answer  it  next  month  in  a  story  called  "Shall  I  Adopt  a  Baby?"

I  ARK  ANTHONY  could  not  see  beyond  her  eyes.  He 
could  not  think  beyond  her  mouth.  When  she  stepped  towards 
him  .  .  .  closer,  ever  closer  .  .  .  her  heart  beat  against  his  end 
the  beat  oi  both  quickened. 

His  arms  went  about  her  with  a  strong  tenderness.  He  would 
lower  his  lean  head  and  breathe  the  parfume  of  her  hair  and 
when  his  lips  found  hers  his  intoxication  was  net  frcm  the  wine 
he  had  drunk. 

Mark  Anthony's  love  for  Cleopatra  was  just  a  small  part  of 
this  woman's  scheme  to  rule  the  Empire  of  ths  Romans.  But 
though  her  will  was  strong  her  heart  was  only  thct  of  a 
woman's.  Cleopatra,  the  Queen  of  all  Egypt,  fell  in  love  .  .  . 
with  a  man.

HIS  SIZE  GAVE  HIM  A 
START  IN  LIFE.  AND 
HIS  INCHES  HAVE 
BEEN  EARNING  DOL- 
LARS EVER  SINCE 


JOHXXIE  sits  on  the  pinnacle 
of  success.  And,  as  he  says, 
"it's  comfortable  enough."  He 
sits  on  telephone  books,  too. 
His  ma  keeps  an  extra  couple 
of  New  York's  big  ones  around  so 
that  Johnnie  can  lean  his  elbows  on 
the  table  and  be  comfortable  like  the 
rest  of  us  are  at  dinner. 

"Call  for  Philip  Morris."  Recog- 
nize it?  That's  Johnnie.  Johnnie 
Roventini.  He  gives  that  persuasive 
call  which  comes  to  you  with  Leo 
Reisman's  orchestra  with  vocalizing 
by  Phil  Duey  and  Sally  Singer  on 
Tuesday  evenings  at  8  o'clock  EST 
over  NBC. 

His  cheerful,  impudent  face  smiles 
at  you  from  uncounted  thousands  of 
advertisements  and  displays.  He 
opens  hotels ;  gets  keys  to  cities ; 
leads  parades ;  and  attracts  mobs  at 
all  his  personal  appearances.  And 
that's  pretty  good,  isn't  it,  for  a 
young  man  who  is  only  forty-three 
inches  hisjh  ? 


Johnnie  tells  a  lot  of  amusing  joke 
about  his  height.  There  was  the  tint 
that  he  went  to  a  movie  betweei 
broadcasts.  The  pretty  cashier  a 
the  box  office  took  half  fare  out  o 
his  dollar.  When  Johnnie  shove< 
back  the  change  and  demanded  "ful 
man's  fare,  please,"  the  girl  was  s> 
surprised  she  stuck  her  head  out  o 
the  cage  to  find  out  if  he  were  kid 
ding.    No  kid  he. 

One  of  his  hobbies  is  collectin: 
baseballs.  And  he  has  dozens  witl 
famous  autographs.  But  in  all  thes 
years  Johnnie  has  never  been  able  t 
fanagle  a  bat.  "They  told  me 
wasn't  big  enough,"  he  laughs. 

When  the  St.  Louis  team  was  a 
the  Yankee  stadium  in  New  York 
Philip  Morris  almost  lost  their  pag 
boy  voice,  for  the  team  was  seriousl 
considering  kidnapping  him  as 
mascot. 

Many  fans  wonder  how  this  youn 
fellow  got  his  job.  Well,  last  yea] 
when  the  Philip  Morris  people  wer 


RADIO  STARS 


looking  for  the  ideal  page  boy  for 
their  broadcasts,  they  canvassed  New 
York's  leading  hotels  asking  for  the 
best  bellhop  in  town.  The  answer 
was  unanimous,  "Johnnie  at  the 
Hotel  New  Yorker." 

So  he  became  the  tiniest  page  boy 
in  America's  radio — and  the  highest 
paid.  But  success  hasn't  made 
Johnnie  high-hat.  He's  still  aces  high 
with  his  ex-teammates  for  he  can't 
forget  where  their  good  word  landed 
him — on  that  pinnacle. 

Being  tiny — he  weighs  less  than 
fifty  pounds — has  been  bringing 
Johnnie  luck  for  the  past  five  years. 
In  fact  he  got  his  first  job  as  bellhop 
because  of  his  size.  And  his  inches 
have  been  earning  his  salary  ever 
since. 

Once  someone  asked  him  what 
would  happen  to  his  job  if  that  name 
he  pages  should  suddenly  answer. 
Johnnie  said  he  didn't  know  what 
would  happen  to  the  job,  but  the 
answering  name  would  get  a  pack  of 
Philip  Morris  Cigarettes.  No  danger 
ef  that  kind  of  a  chap  worrying 
about  his  job  for  with  Johnnie,  you 
see,  his  employer  comes  first.  By  the 
way.  that  same  employer  is  very 
much  attached  to  this  little  page. 
Everyone  becomes  attached  to  him. 
At  the  studios,  he  is  a  great  favorite. 

But  his  size  is  inconvenient  on 
occasions,  too.  For  he  must  have  all 
his  clothes  specially  made.  And  that's 
one  big  reason  he  goes  collegiate — 
without  a  hat.  Then  each  morning 
he  experiences  the  dread  of  being 
stepped  on  in  the  crowded  subway. 
He  dives  for  a  corner  and  squeezes 
into  it  until  the  train  arrives  uptown. 
If  you've  ever  been  to  New  York, 
then  you  realize  that  nothing  can  be 
so  precarious  as  trying  to  board  a 
subway  train  in  the  morning  rush 
hour.  But  Johnny  has  to  brave  the 
rough  crowds,  for  in  spite  of  stardom 
he,  like  any  other  working  man,  must 
report  to  work  around  nine  or  ten  for 
rehearsals.  And  to  get  his  other  jobs 
lined  up  for  the  day.  As  you  prob- 
ably know,  Johnnie  is  sent  all  around 
the  country  at  any  odd  time.  Some- 
times he  goes  by  train.  Again  you 
might  see  him  traveling  in  his  Austin 
painted  like  a  Philip  Morris  cigarette 
package  and  with  a  full-sized  chauf- 
feur outfitted  to  match. 

Johnnie  in  his  public  appearances 
wears  his  jaunty  red  uniform  that 
marks  him  as  a  national  celebrity. 
On  cool  days  you'll  see  a  buff  wool 
cape  about  the  size  of  a  table  napkin 
thrown  carelessly  across  his  shoul- 
ders. 

Today,  because  the  radio  public  is 
delighted  with  his  voice,  this  diminu- 
tive youngster  has  become  a  big  little 
star  on  a  nationally  broadcast  pro- 
gram of  NBC.

George  Gershwin,  the  ambassador  of  good  health,  on  the  CBS 
Feen-a-mint  program  Thursday  evening  from  nine  to  nine-thirty  EST. 


OF  THE  PIANO 


They  used  to  call  George  Gershwin 
a  prince  of  the  razzle-dazzle.  Those 
were  the  eat-drink-and-dance  days 
when  George  was  the  hottest  boy  in 
town.  Hot,  that  is,  in  the  sense  of 
writing  out  those  jumpy-tumpy  tunes 
with  that  certain  something  that  set 
toes  cutting  didoes. 

Today,  he's  graduated  from  all 
that.  Today,  Mr.  George  Gershwin 
is  Feen-a-mint's  ambassador  of  good 
health,  a  Pulitzer  prize  winner,  and 
the  concoctor  of  much  of  America's 
brightest  music. 

George  first  began  his  ambassador- 
ing  during  the  winter  of  '33-'34. 
Probably  you  heard  him  with  his  .  .  . 
"Good  evening,  this  is  George  Gersh- 
win speaking."  Or  the  tinkly  hubbub 
of  his  prancing  fingers  when  he 
undertook  to  interpret  various  of  his 


well-known   triumphs   of   the  past. 

Now,  when  the  frost  is  on  the 
pumpkin  and  the  corn  is  in  the  shuck, 
George  returns  to  us  with  a  unique 
radio  show.  It  is  unique  because  Sir 
Gershwin  is  the  only  Pulitzer  prize 
winner  on  record  who  sets  himself 
to  the  weekly  task  of  turning  out  a 
radio  broadcast. 

These  coolish  evenings  when  you 
hear  the  delicate  fanfare  of  his  piano- 
playing  or  the  dignified  sincerity  of 
his  "from  me  to  you"  talk,  don't  get 
the  idea  that  he  is  a  flat-footed  old 
granddad  with  a  silvery  beard  clear 
down  to  here.  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
he's  full  of  the  hustle  and  bustle  of 
the  city  that  whelped  him.  He's  as 
alive  as  a  Neon  sign  and  much  more 
entertaining. 

Alusical  prodigies  are  often  mama's

boys  grown  up.  Not  our  friend 
Gershwin.  George  conies  from  a 
fighting  sector  of  the  city.  Kid  gangs 
made  you  fight  whether  you  liked  it 
or  not.  And  when  you  took  music 
lessons,  you  fought  twice  as  often. 
Maybe  that  accounts  for  some  of  the 
ruggedness  of  his  compositions.  Or 
for  the  success  that  his  talent  has 
brought  him. 

"I  Got  Rhythm"  is  one  of  his  big 
numbers.  Remember  "Of  Thee  I 
Sing,  Baby?"  And  "  'S  Wonderful." 

There's  a  story  about  "  'S  Won- 
derful." George  formerly  grabbed 
his  midday  snack  at  an  off-the-arm 
eatery  along  the  street  called  Tin  Pan 
Alley.  One  of  his  favorite  expres- 
sions at  the  time  was  "How's  tricks?" 
The  girl  in  the  cashier's  cage  chewed 
gum  and  made  change.  For  six 
months,  Gershwin  gave  her  a  cheery 
"How's  tricks,  sweetheart?"  One 
clay  he  was  stuck  for  a  song  title. 
Paying  his  check,  he  tossed  her  the 
usual  sign-off.  She  gave  him  her  six- 
months'-old  answer : 

"  'S  Wonderful." 

He  wrote  the  song  that  afternoon. 
It  went  into  a  show  in  production. 
Inside  a  month,  most  of  America  was 
singing  and  whistling  and  stamping 
for  its  rhythm.  It  lifted  George 
Gershwin  up  another  rung  on  the 
ladder  of  success.  The  girl  is  still 
chewing  gum  and  making  change. 
And  she  still  says,  "  'S  Wonderful." 


Danny  Malone  rode  to  stardom  in 
England,  then  brought  his  tenor 
voice  to  America  and  NBC.  He's 
twenty-three  years  old  and  happily 
married — a  newly-wed. 


Think  of  the  many  times  a 
day  you  powder  your  face. 
And  all  the  time  you  may  be 
only  succeeding  in  making 
yourself  look  years  older  than  you  really  are ! 

It's  an  actual  fact,  as  you  can  readily  demonstrate, 
that  the  wrong  shade  of  face  powder  can  add  years 
to  your  looks.  Just  as  the  wrong  color  hat  or  dress 
can  make  you  look  dowdy  and  years  older  than 
your  age,  so  can  the  wrong  shade  of  face  powder 
make  you  look  worn  and  faded,  and,  apparently, 
years  older. 

It's  a  shame,  the  women  who  are  innocent  vic- 
tims of  the  wrong  choice  of  face  powder  shades! 
Otherwise  pretty,  young  and  fresh-looking,  they 
actually,  if  unknowingly,  make  themselves  look 
years  older  than  is  their  age. 

Are  You  Being  Fooled? 

Is  the  shade  of  face  powder  you  are  using  making 
you  look  your  youngest  and  freshest  or  is  it  mak- 
ing you  look  years  older  than  you  really  are?  It  all 
depends  on  how  you  choose  your  shade.  It's  a 
"snare  and  delusion"  to  choose  a  face  powder 
shade  simply  on  the  basis  of  type. 

A  brunette  may  have  a  very  light  skin  while  a 
blonde  may  have  a  very  dark  one.  Moreover,  to  try 
to  match  any  tone  of  skin  is  practically  impossible, 
for  there  are  endless  variations  of  white,  ivory  and 
olive  skin. 

A  face  powder  shade  should  be  chosen,  not  to 
match  any  particular  type,  but  to  flatter  one.  What 
would  be  the  most  flattering  to  one  shade  of 
brunette  skin  might  be  utterly  devastating  j — 
to  another.  Therefore,  the  thing  to  do,  re- 
gardless of  your  coloring,  istotry  a//thefive  I 
fundamental  shades  which  color  experts 
agree  meet  the  demands  of  all  skins.

how  often  these  are  caused  by  constipation!

the  real  cause  of  constipation  is  insufficient 
vitamin  B.  If  your  constipation  has  become

comes easy,  regular  and  complete!

HELP!  Your  Un-

Some  enterpris-

tion she  was  going 
to  HAUNT  me. 
She  wrote  it  in  big 
wiggly  letters,  too. 
And  Uncle  Answer

answer  the  question 
on  account  of  there 
were  other  ques- 
tions that  were 
asked  more  times, 
which  after  all,  do 
deserve  the  breaks. 

Gracious!  If  everyone  sent  ghosts 
just  because  Uncle  wouldn't  tell  them 
how  to  get  auditions,  or  how  to  sell 
radio  scripts,  or  ask  for  personal 
replies  to  their  questions,  he  wouldn't 
have  any  place  to  keep  them.  His 
office  is  cluttered  up  enough  as  it  is. 

So  if  you  have  any  ghosts  you're

A.  Certainly

age  of  six  bv  making  her  debut  sing- 
ing "Oh  Dry  Those  Tears."  at  the 
Los  Angeles  Philharmonic  Stadium. 
She  had  trained  tor  it  with  a  chin- 
ning bar.  having  had  the  firm  con- 
viction that  such  activity  was  the  best 
training  for  an  aspiring  singer.  She 
kept  at  it — the  singing,  that  is — even 
through  that  year  she  spent  at  the 
University  of  California.  She  left 
the  institution  to  be  a  line  girl  at  the 
Belmont  Theatre  there,  but  resigned 
after  one  performance  and  formed  a 
sister  team  with  another  girl.  The 
two  wended  their  way  to  Chicago 
where  they  played  vaudeville  with 
Paul  Ash  and  appeared  in  the  musi- 
cal comedy  "Flying  High."  While 
with  another  partner.  Johnny  Dunn, 
they  approached  Morey  Amsterdam 
for  some  material.  Johnny  told  Ma- 
bel to  be  nice  to  him.  so  the  story 
goes,  and  maybe  Morey  wouldn't 
charge  so  much  for  the  material. 
Mabel  was  so  nice  that  Morey  fell  in 
love  with  her  and  he's  been  furnish- 
ing material  free  for  her  ever  since. 
By  the  time  you  read  this  far  the 
wedding  will  be  over.    That's  all.

HOW  TO  REFINE 
SKIN  TEXTURE 

Nurses  discover  quick,  easy  way- 


Gain  new  beauty  by  correcting 
these  common  skin  faults 


Blemishes,  large  pores, 
scaly  skin,  oiliness  .  .  . 
rob  so  many  women  of  their 
natural  skin  beauty.  Now 
these  skin  faults  can  be 
quickly  corrected.  Nurses 
have  discovered  a  quick,  easy 
way  to  end  them.  Their  secret 
is  a  dainty,  snow-white  cream 
originally  prescribed  by  phy- 
sicians for  burns,  eczema  and 
other  skin  troubles.  Today  it 
is  used  by  over  6,000,000 
women  to  clear  and  refine    the  skin. 

If  your  skin  is  coarse-textured,  rough,  oily 
or  blemished  use  Noxzema.  It  will  purge  the 
pores  of  deep-lodged,  irritating  impurities 
that  cause  blemishes.  Then  its  rare  oils 
soothe  and  soften  —  its  ice- 
like, stimulating  astringents

DON'TS 

about  laxativesl 


Don't  take  a  laxative  that  is  too  strong  — that  shocks 
the  system  — that  weakens  you! 

Don't  take  a  laxative  that  is  offered  as  a  cure-all  — 
a  treatment  for  a  thousand  ills! 

Don't  take  a  laxative  where  you  have  to  keep  on 
increasing  the  dose  to  get  results! 

TAKE  EX-LAX -THE  LAXATIVE 

THAT  DOES  NOT  FORM  A  HABIT 

You  take  Ex -Lax  just  when  you  need  a  laxative— it 
won't  form  a  habit.  You  don't  have  to  keep  on  increas- 
ing the  dose  to  get  results.  Ex -Lax  is  effective  — but 
it  is  mild.  Ex-Lax  doesn't  force— it  acts  gently  yet 
thoroughly.  It  works  over-night  without  over-action. 

Children  like  to  take  Ex-Lax  because  they  love  its 
delicious  chocolate  taste.  Grown-ups,  too,  prefer  to 
take  Ex-Lax  because  they  have  found  it  to  be  thor- 
oughly effective  —  without  the  disagreeable  after- 
effects of  harsh,  nasty-tasting  laxatives. 

For  28  years,  Ex-Lax  has  had  the  confidence  of 
doctors,  nurses,  druggists  and  the  general  public  alike, 
because  it  is  everything  a  laxative  should  be. 

At  any  drug  store  — in  10c  and  25c  boxes. 


WATCH  OUT  FOR  IMITATIONS! 

Ex-Lax  has  stood  the  test  of  time.  It 
has  been  America's  favorite  laxative 
for  28  years.  Insist  on  genuine 
Ex -Lax  — spelled  E-X-L-A-X-to 
make  sure  of  getting  Ex-Lax  results.

Here  is  Muriel  Wilson  writing  the 
story  of  her  surprise  visit  to  Holly- 
wood   to    interview    Lanny  Ross. 


THRILLS? 

You'd  certainly  think  that  Mary  Lou  would  get  her 
share  of  them  broadcasting  on  the  Maxwell  House  Show 
Boat  and  living  in  the  scintillating  radio  sphere,  wouldn't 
you? 

But  until  recently  she  hasn't  had  them  all.  Since  I'm 
really  Mary  Lou  myself,  I  can  speak  with  authority.  I 
must  tell  you  that  the  trip  I  just  made  to  Hollywood  to 
do  an  extra  special  interview  of  Lanny  Ross  for 
RADIO  STARS  and  to  broadcast  with  him  from  there 
lias  been  just  the  biggest  thrill  ever. 

Like  every  woman  I've  always  wanted  to  write.  I 
wanted  to  when  I  first  began  singing  on  the  Show  Boat 
hour  and  I  still  do.    No  amount  of  love  for  singing 


Lanny  got  the  delight  of  his  life  when 
Mary  Lou  walked  into  the  radio  studio 
in  Hollywood  during  his  program.

could  change  that.  So  when  the  editor  of  RADK 
STARS  asked  me  to  do  the  story  I  accepted  almost  be 
fore  he  had  the  words  out  of  his  mouth.  Because  th 
story  was  to  be  about  Lanny,  it  was  so  much  the  bettei 

You  know,  of  course,  that  Mary  Lou  and  Lanny  o 
the  Show  Boat  hour  are  in  love  on  the  air.  That's  no 
a  very  hard  thing  to  believe,  especially  for  the  people  wh; 
know  him.    He  really  is  a  dear. 

That's  why  I'm  going  to  be  able  to  tell  you  wha

good  fun  it  is  to  be  with  him,  how  he  always  remembers 
the  little  courtesies,  how  he  falls  into  little  spells  of 
reserve — things  like  that  which  only  one  who  is  fond  of 
him  could  know. 

Come  on  the  trip  to  Hollywood  with  me.  See  Lanny 
as  I  saw  him,  with  powerful  studio  lights  glaring  down 
on  his  makeup  there  at  the  Paramount  lot ;  with  the 
gentle,  wistful  smile  he  wore  as  we  danced  at  the  gor- 
geous Vendome  restaurant ;  with  the  glint  of  the  sun  on 


his  hair  as  he  strode  toward  me  on  the  beach  at  Santa 
Monica. 

As  the  plane  went  winging  down  the  sky  into  the 
California  sunset  on  the  last  lap  of  my  journey  to  Holly- 
wood, I  strained  my  eyes  toward  the  airport.  I  was 
almost  wishing  I  hadn't  decided  to  burst  in  on  his  pro- 
gram and  surprise  him.  How  marvelous  it  would  lie  to 
see  him  again !  How  grand  it  would  be  to  be  back  on 
the  air  with  him  from  the  same  studio !  Two  broad- 
casts I  could  do  with  him  from  Hollywood  for  the 
Show  Boat.  That  meant  a  lot  of  time  to  spend  with 
him.  Then  there'd  be  the  interview  and  perhaps  we'd 
go  about  a  bit  together.

"Come  back  tomorrow," 
:  the  clerk  whispered  to  them 
standing  there  so  young  and 
discouraged  before  him.  "Go 
to  the  other  fellow.  Don't 
come  to  me.  See?  Say  you're 
twenty-one.  That'll  fix  it!" 

They  thanked  him.  And 
the  next  morning  as  the 
doors  opened  he  saw  them 
come  in.  go  to  the  other  fel- 
low, and  fill  out  a  blank  with 
their  little  white  lies.  But  he 
pretended  not  to  see  them 
at  all. 

Sometimes  love  conies 
swiftly.  It  diil  to  Ramona 
and  Howard  Davies.  Ra- 
mona played   the  piano  in 

Don  Bestor's  band.  Howard  played  the  tuba.  Three 
mouths  from  the  night  Ramona  first  played  with  the  band 
and  she  had  met  Howard  they  were  married. 

"Being  the  only  girl  in  that  band  wasn't  the  lark  you 
might  think,"  Ramona  says,  completely  frank,  as  usual. 
"Nights  we  worked  and  all  day  I  was  alone,  for  every 
last  man  in  the  crowd  was  a  golf  enthusiast.  Immediately 
on  getting  up  in  the  morning  they  traipsed  off  to  the  links 
and  there  they  stayed  until  it  was  time  for  them  to  come 
home  and  get  dressed  to  go  on  the  job. 

"I  probably  was  the  loneliest  girl  in  the  world.  And  the 
most  miserable.  I'd  been  used  to  friends  and  a  family 
around  me.  Xow  I  felt  stranded,  besides'  several  boys  iu 
the  band  whom  I  had  admired  from  a  distance  turned  out 
to  be  prize  stuffed  shirts.  I  couldn't  stick  them." 

Ramona  wouldn't  stick  a  stuffed  shirt  anywhere  under 
any  circumstances.  She  has  no  time  for  pretense  for  she's 
too  busy  dealing  with  reality  and  finding  it  intensely  worth 
while  even  when  it  is  most  unpleasant. 

Don  Bestor  first  heard  Ramona  play  the  piano  in  a 
radio  station.  She  had  filled  in  on  the  air  while  he  and 
his  band  were  tuning  up  for  a  program.  It  was  her  vi- 
brant personality  as  well  as  her  playing  that  impressed 
him.  And  finally,  by  promising  to  look  after  her,  he 
gained  her  mother's  consent  for  her  to  play  and  travel 
with  them. 

Don  appointed  Howard  Davies  as  Ramona's  escort.  It 
was  Howard  Davies  who  saw  Ramona  from  her  hotel  to 
the  theatre  and  from  the  theatre  to  her  hotel. 


Culver 


You  hear  Ramona  on  Paul  Whiteman's  Thursday  night  show. 


Howard  came  from  a  good  substantial  family  and  he 
didn't  drink.  In  choosing  him  to  look  out  for  Ramona, 
Don  Bestor  was  living  up  to  every  last  promise  he  had 
made  her  apprehensive  mother. 

The  first  night  she  and  Howard  found  the  way  from 
the  theatre  to  the  hotel  moderately  long.  They  talked 
about  the  band.  They  agreed  Don  Bestor  was  one  grand 
guy.  But  before  the  end  of  the  week  they  found  the  way- 
home  no  distance  at  all.  Howard  began  to  search  about 
for  longer  routes.  Xow  he  and  Ramona  talked  about 
themselves.  They  felt  secretly  glowing  and  gloriously 
alive. 

NOW  when  anyone  looked  at  Ramona  as  she  walked 
so  surely  at  Howard  Davies'  side  a  curious  sense  of 
pride  turned  within  him. 

He  began  to  notice  a  dozen  little  things  about  her  and 
to  find  every  blessed  one  of  them  strangely  endearing. 
He  blamed  himself  for  an  utter  fool  because  he  previously 
hadn't  noticed  how  deep  and  warm  her  eyes  were.  It 
never  occurred  to  him  before  that  her  eyes  were  so  deep 
and  warm  beneath  her  smooth  forehead ;  that  because  of 
him  they  possessed  a  new  light,  a  greater  warmth. 

This  did  occur  to  Ramona,  however.  Women  always 
are  quicker  to  see  such  things.  After  saying  goodnight 
to  Howard  Davies,  Ramona  used  to  stand  intrigued  before 
her  own  reflection  in  the  glass.  Always  it  was  as  if  she 
was  looking  at  herself  for  the  first  time.  Her  new  love- 
liness had  nothing  to  do  with    (Continued  on  page  85)

MARTY,  AS  CLUB  MAID,  gives  a  good 
performance  when  she  tells  Jane  to 
use  Ivory  Flakes  for  her  stockings 
just  as  fine  stores  advise. 

Good  stores  do  tell  you  to  use 
Ivory  Flakes  for  your  stockings. 
And  here's  why:  The  sheer  silk  of 
stockings  is  very  sensitive.  It  needs 
a  pure  soap.  Ivory  Flakes  are  so  pure 
that  hoth  the  makers  and  sellers  of 
fine  stockings  recommend  them. 
These  people  know  silk.  They  like  the 
way  Ivory  Flakes  are  shaved  up  into 
tiny,  curly  wisps,  too.  Ivory  Flakes 
won't  flatten  down  on  your  stockings 
to  cause  soap  spots  and  runs! 

And  here's  a  thought  for  you  thrifty 
girls— Ivory  Flakes  cost  less  than  other 
"silk  stocking"  soaps.  There  are  lots 
more  ounces  in  the  box!  Just  hold  on 
to  that  thought  and  the  next  time 
you're  at  your  grocer's  merely  say,  "A 
box  of  Ivory  Flakes,  please."

"It's  still  the  finest  complexion  soap,"  declares  Mrs.  Gibson.

MR.  and  Mrs.  Al  Jolson  (she's  Ruby  Keeler)  are 
called  radio's  most  devoted  couple.  The  big  picture 
above  shows  the  love  birds  in  front  of  their  Scars- 
dale,  New  York,  home  where  they  summered  while 
Al  appeared  on  the  Paul  Whiteman  Music  Hall 
broadcasts  over  NBC  Thursday  nights. 

The  smaller  picture  shows  the  radio-movie  stars 
in  their  garden.  That  smile  of  Al's  might  be  due 
to  his  good  prospect  for  corn  on  the  cob.  Do  you 
think  that's  the  reason  for  it? 

Al's  next  movie,  to  be  released  this  fall,  will  be 
titled  "On  with  the  Dance."  Ruby  has  just  finished 
her  movie,  "Dames."  in  which  she  again  plays  oppo- 
site Dick  Powell.  Already  she's  at  work  on  a  new 
one  to  be  called  "Flirtation  Walk."  It's  all  about 
what  happens  on  that  famous  walk  at  West  Point. 
Incidentally,  that's  where  the  picture  was  made.

us  he  started  life  as  a  country  bumpkin.  He  was  born 
way  out  in  Mount  View,  Arkansas,  and  says  he  was  six 
before  he  even  saw  a  trolley. 

After  one  year  at  college,  he  deserted  the  old  alma  mater 
for  song  and  became  a  church  chorister  in  Little  Rock. 
When  he  was  offered  a  job  as  soloist  with  a  concert 
orchestra  in  Louisville,  Kentucky,  things  began  to  happen 
to  young  Powell. 

Within  a  few  months  he  landed  in  Pittsburgh  as  the 
"singing  master  of  ceremonies."  Pittsburgh  voted  him  a 
swell  entertainer  and  a  divine  crooner,  but  could  only 
hold  on  to  him  for  a  couple  of  years.  Then  a  scout  from 
Warner  Brothers  discovered  the  good-looking  crooner  and 
Dick  landed  on  top  of  the  world. 

"Blessed  Event"  was  his  first  picture,  and  all  of  you 
remember  "42nd  Street"  and  "Golddiggers."  You  will 
soon  be  seeing  him  in  "Flirtation  Walk,"  and  Dick  is 
better  than  ever. 

His  new  radio  program,  "Hollywood  Hotel,"  goes  on 
the  air  Fridays  from  9:30  to  10  p.  m.  EST,  beginning

TO  HER  radio  audience,  she  is  Portland  Hoffa,  stooge 
to  Comedian  Fred  Allen  of  NBC.  To  her  family,  she  is 
Mrs.  Allen. 

She  was  born  in  Portland,  Oregon,  so  the  Hoffa  family 
proceeded  to  name  her  Portland.  Miss  Hoffa  brushed  up 
on  reading  and  writing  at  Jamaica,  New  York,  where, 
they  say,  she  got  more  kick  out  of  playing  basketball  and 
practicing  archery  than  she  did  figuring  out  the  whys  of 
chemistry  or  the  theories  of  geometry.  W  hile  still  below 
voting  age.  Portland  joined  George  W  hite's  Scandals, 
danced  and  sung  her  way  into  two  other  Broadway  shows 
and  proceeded  to  fall  head  over  heels  in  love  with  Fred 
Allen. 

They  were  married  and  together  they  started  their 
radio  careers. 

They  first  went  on  the  air  in  1932,  and  listeners  have 
been  served  a  goodly  helping  of  their  humor  each  season 
since.  Always  Portland  talks  about  her  "Poppa,"  who  is 
now  about  as  well  known  to  loudspeaker  addicts  as  Grade 
Allen's  (no  kin)  missing  brother. 

Although  Husband  Fred  probably  won't  admit  it,  Port- 
land has  a  hand  in  writing  those  programs.  Even  when 
she  isn't  able  to  contribute  a  good  gag,  she  sits  back  and 
listens  to  those  Fred  picks  and  tells  him  frankly  if  they 
are  good  or  bad. 

Tune  in  this  program  at  9  p.  m.,  EST,  Wednesdays 
over  an  NBC  red-WEAF  network,  and  enjoy  an  hour 
of  dry  humor  that  is  really  very  funny.

ABIES  Wanted! 

If  young,  married,  childless  couples  could  get 
^children  the  same  way  they  do  ice  or  milk,  that 
is  what  cards  in  the  windows  of  lots  of  radio 
couples  homes  would  request  today. 

Children  wanted.  Wherever  you  go  in  broadcast  land 
you  hear  them  talking  about  the  babies  they  want  to  have. 
You  may  ask  yourself  why  is  it,  and  provide  your  own 
answer.  Possibly  because  Roosevelt  is  President,  and  the 
depression  is  over.  But  I  think  it  is  just  because  the 
stars  have  lonely  hearts  and  realize  that  fame  and  fortune 
can  never  compensate  for  the  emptiness  of  life  without 
children. 

Amazingly  enough,  among  those  whom  I  know  to  be 
actually  seeking  children  for  adoption  today  are  George 
Burns  and  Gracie  Allen,  Mary  Livingston  and  Jack 
Benny,  Al  Jolson  and  Ruby  Keeler,  Jack  Denny  and  his 
Missus,  and  Jack  Pearl  and  Mrs.  Pearl. 
"  Sounds  like  the  dream  of  an  inebriated  press-agent  or 
a  star-gazing  loon,  doesn't  it?  I  was  skeptical  myself 
about  the  sudden  rush  for  made-to-order  babies  till  I  got 
some  sound  information  from  headquarters.  In  case  you 
don't  know,  headquarters  in  the  baby  adoption  business  is 
the  babies'  home  just  outside  of  Chicago,  The  Cradle, 
where  Evanston  debutantes,  college  girls  and  poverty- 
stricken  mothers  all  leave  their  unwanted  babies  for  adop- 
tion. And  believe  it  or  not,  there  aren't  enough  babies  to 
fill  the  demand  this  year.  There,  wealthy  women  with 
ermine-trimmed  coats,  movie  stars  like  Miriam  Hopkins, 
and  just  plain  middle-class  folks  go  to  find  the  adorable, 
cuddly  babies  of  which  they've  always  dreamed. 

"You  can  adopt  three  kinds  of  babies,"  an  official  at 
The  Cradle  said.  "The  child  of  married  parents,  the 
foundling  of  whom  nothing  is  known,  and  the  child  born 
out  of  wedlock.  Right  now  we  have  several  orders  from 
radio  stars  for  all  three  types." 

George  Burns  and  Gracie  Allen  are  perfectly  willing 
to  take  a  foundling.  "As  long  as  the  baby  is  healthy,  I 
don't  see  what  difference  it  makes  who  her  parents  are," 
Gracie  told  me.  "I  want  a  six-months-old  baby  girl  so  I 
can  bring  her  up  from  the  start.  What  color  eyes  or 
hair  she  has  or  what  way  her  nose  turns  doesn't  matter. 
But  I  do  hope  she  looks  bright." 

Do  you  want  to  know  the  real  reason  the  Burnses  de- 
cided to  adopt  a  baby  ?  George  and  Gracie  had  been  think- 
ing of  it  for  a  long  time,  but  thinking  was  as  far  as  it  went 
until  a  seemingly  insignificant  incident  in  Hollywood  last 
summer  made  Gracie  really  do  something  about  it.  While 


making  "Many  Happy  Returns,"  Gracie  and  George 
lunched  at  The  Brown  Derby  with  Wallace  Beery.  He 
had  brought  along  his  little  adopted  daughter,  Carol  Anne, 
who  was  so  darn  cute  Gracie  couldn't  take  her  eyes  off 
her.  Then  and  there  she  decided  she'd  go  baby  shopping 
without  delay. 

She'll  call  her  baby  Sandra  Burns.  "The  only  trouble," 
she  said,  "is  that  the  initials  S.  B.  on  underwear  and 
baby  things  might  seem  a  little  queer,  don't  you  think? 

"There's  one  thing  you  may  be  sure,"  she  told  me. 
"neither  George  nor  I  are  going  to  try  to  remodel  little 
S.  B.  I  love  clothes  and  feminine  trinkets  and  I  could 
spend  the  rest  of  my  life  shopping.  But  if  little  Sandra 
turns  out  to  be  as  solemn  as  an  owl  and  not  at  all  interested 
in  finery,  I'll  let  her  go  around  reading  philosophy  books 
and  wearing  sackcloth  and  ashes  and  I  won't  care  a  bit. 

"It  seems  to  me  that 
most  women  who  have 
trouble  with  their 
adopted  children  really 
cause  it  themselves. 
Dreaming  of  children  for 
many  years,  they  build 
up  an  exact  image  of 
what  their  little  Toots 
will  be  like.  Of  course, 
she'll  have  all  their  good 
points,  and  all  their  hus- 
band's good  points.

Kvery  week  Glenn  must  pay  his  ex-better  half  $175. 
Graham  McNamee  pays  his  $1,000  a  month.  Because  he 
had  the  misfortune  to  fall  in  love  with  a  woman  who  did 
not  love  him,  Rudy  Vallee  is  paying  temporary  alimony 
of  $100  a  week,  and  is  constantly  l>eing  harassed  by  law- 
suits, the  object  of  which  is  to  make  him  pay  more.  Dave 
Rubinoff  is  being  sued  for  $100,000  by  a  gal  named  Peggy 
Garcia  who  claims  he  made  love  to  her,  and  for  $169,000 
by  the  wife  from  whom  he  was  divorced  seven  years  ago. 

How  do  they  feel,  these  radio  stars,  about  paying  this 
high  price  for  love,  love  which  they  thought  was  com- 
pounded of  moonlight  and  ecstasy  and  which  turned  to

Gene,  Gene  Carroll  gave  her  all  his  real  estate  and  an 
equal  share  of  his  stocks  and  bonds,  worth  about  $25,000. 
He  also  agreed  to  keep  up  his  payments  on  a  $100,000 
life  insurance  policy,  which  shell  collect  if  anything  hap- 
pens to  him. 

"Glenn  and  I  make  $1,000  apiece  each  week."  Gene 
told  me,  "but  we  pay  a  continuity  man  $250  a  week ;  we 
pay  a  secretary ;  I  have  my  hotel  bill,  garage,  meals  and 
clothes  to  provide  for.  Uncle  Sam  takes  a  huge  slice  of 
my  salary  for  income  tax.  The  result  is  that  the  alimony

"I  wouldn't  kick  about  that,  but  if  Glenn  and  I  ever 
make  more  money,  our  ex-wives  can  demand  more  ali- 
mony, although  they've  done  nothing  whatsoever  to 
deserve  it.  When  we're  out  of  work  for  a  few  weeks,  we 
still  have  to  pay.  We  were  laid  off  for  five  weeks  between 
the  time  we  left  Cleveland  and  established  ourselves  over 
a  national  network  from  New  York.   We  didn't  get  a

on  and  on  just  the  same. 

"Usually  during  the  summer  we  take  a  few  weeks  off, 
but  this  summer  we  can't  afford  to  do  it,  because  we'd 
have  to  pay  alimony  for  those  weeks  when  we  weren't 
working.  A  pretty  expensive  vacation  that  would  be!" 

I  wondered  what  Gene  and  Glenn's  ex-wives  had  done 
to  deserve  all  this  money. 

"Did  your  wife  help  you  achieve  success?"  I  asked 
Gene. 

"I  should  say  not,"  he  said.  "She  wouldn't  even  listen 
to  my  program !" 

"But  she  made  a  home  for  you.  didn't  she'" 

"No.  That  was  one  of  the  reasons  for  our  breaking 
up.  She  never  wanted  a  home.  We  lived  in  hotels  all  the 
time.  And  I  got  sick  of  it,  I  tell  you."

ROXY  IS  BACK!  FROM  CRUSHING  DEFEAT,  THIS  MASTER  SHOW- 
MAN  FIGHTS  HIS  WAY  AGAIN  TO  HEIGHTS  FROM  WHICH  HE  FELL 


Mr.  and  Mrs.  S.  L 
("Roxy")  Rothafel  observe 
their  twenty-fifth  wedding 
anniversary  without  any 
pomp  at  Miami. 


ROXY 
stood  smok- 
ing in  silence 
on  the  balcony 
of  his  spacious 
Central  Park  West 
apartment  that  cool 
gray  summer  morn-  ^ 
ing.     He  had  just  re- 
turned from  his  prolonged 
vacation.   His  eyes  were  fixed 
dreamily  on  the  magnificent  crag 
that  is  Radio  City  shouldering  through 
the  mists  above  the  uptown  skyline  of  stone  and  brick. 

There  it  stood,  symbolic  peak  of  his  career,  his  dream 
made  stone  and  steel,  his  inspiration  made  reality — the 
pinnaele  of  twenty-seven  successful  years  during  which 
the  name  of  Roxy  was  the  magic  word  in  show  business. 
There  it  stood,  a  monument  to  his  greatest  triumph — 
and  his  most  crushing  defeat.  For  the  name  of  Roxy 
is  no  longer  connected  with  the  project  which  he  had 
once  hoped  would  be  his  crowning  achievement,  his  me- 
mento to  posterity. 

Even  that  famous  apartment  of  his,  just  above  the 
ceiling  of  the  Music  Hall,  now  stands  empty,  a  show 
place  for  privileged  visitors.  In  that  apartment  the  most 
dramatic  scenes  of  his  tempestuous  life  were  played.  In 
it,  he  toiled  endlessly  to  bring  his  dream  to  final  fulfill- 
ment, fought  his  battles  with  the  big  wigs  of  the  entertain- 
ment and  financial  worlds.  From  its  pleasant  intimacy, 
through  his  private  porthole,  he  could  look  down  upon 
the  largest  stage  in  the  world  and  watch  with  anxious 
eye  the  presentations  of  his  conceptions.  All  this  was 
his  triumph. 

Twice  he  went  out  of  there.  Once  he  was  carried 
out  on  a  stretcher,  expected  to  die.  Once  he  walked 
out,  forever,  still  a  sick  man,  with  a  typed  copy  of  his 
resignation  in  his  pocket.    This  Was  his  defeat. 

And  the  building  which  holds  all  those  memories  for 

26 


him  is  a  part  of  the  view, 
so  to  speak,  from  his  own 
front  porch.  I  couldn't  help 
wondering  what  his  emotions 
must  l>e  on  seeing  that  building 
at  night,  a  black  mass  bathed  in 
the  reflection  of  lights  that  once 
burned  to  form  his  name,  or  gray 
and  unreal,  rising  like  a  mirage,  on  such 
a  morning  as  this.  Then  as  though  in 
answer  to  an  unuttered  question  he  spoke. 
"I  have  no  regrets,  no  bitterness,"  he  said,  "on 
the  contrary  my  experience  has  given  me  something  of 
great  value.  It  has  matured  and  mellowed  me.  I  have 
learned  to  take  things  a  little  more  quietly,  a  little  more 
philosophically,  without  exacting  such  a  toll  of  myself. 

"The  creative  spirit  may  be  set  back,  but  it  is  never 
destroyed.  We  must  live  always  in  the  future,  for  today 
is  here  and  the  past  is  dead.  And  I  am  sure  that  my 
trying  experiences  will  help  me  rather  than  hinder  me 
in  doing  greater  things  than  I  have  ever  done  before." 

AS  the  words  came  from  his  lips,  his  blue  eyes  were 
i  alight  with  inspiration,  his  tanned  jaw  grimly  set.  I 
could  see  at  a  glance  that  his  fighting  spirit  had  been 
restored,  that  Roxy  was  ready  for  his  come-back. 

By  now  it  is  well-known  that  Roxy  is  coming  back, 
that  he  has  been  signed  to  direct  and  produce  an  important 
variety  show  over  the  Columbia  network  by  the  same 
agency  which  brought  All>ert  Spalding  to  the  air.  But 
no  one  can  grasp  tbe  full  significance  of  his  simple  an- 
nouncement who  does  not  know  the  stirring  story  behind 
it,  the  story  of  how  Roxy  rose  Phoenix-like  from  the 
ashes  of  defeat. 

His  is  an  inspirational  story  of  1934.  Thousands  of 
business  men,  both  large  and  small,  suffered  what  Roxy 
has  suffered.  They,  too,  experienced  the  blighting  pain 
of  seeing  the  labor  of  years  crumble  to  dust  before  their 
eyes.    Some  took  the  easiest  way  out.    Others  were  left

so  broken  in  spirit  that  they  did 
not  have  the  heart  to  begin  again. 
Still  others,  like  Roxy,  have  fought 
hard  to  rehabilitate  themselves. 

But  this  year  of  1934  is  one  of 
hope.  Here  and  there  the  light  is 
breaking  through  the  clouds. 
Therefore  this  story  of  the  odds 
one  man  has  overcome  should  be 
a  beacon  in  the  hearts  of  those  mil- 
lions who  are  engrossed  in  similar 
struggles  today. 

Roxy  was  born  Samuel  Lionel 
Rothafel,  a  poor  boy,  the  son  of 
immigrant  parents  in  Stillwater, 
Minnesota,  a  quiet  village  on  the 
banks  of  the  St.  Croix  River. 
While  he  was  still  in  short  trousers, 
his  parents  moved  to  New  York 
and  Roxy  took  his  first  job  as  a 
cash  boy  in  a  Fourteenth  Street 
department  store. 

The  next  ten  years  he  spent  try- 
ing to  find  himself,  working  vari- 
ously as  a  book  agent,  a  private  in 
the  Marine  Corps,  as  a  miner  in 
the  Pennsylvania  coal  fields. 

All  this  time  he  was  apparently 
getting  nowhere,  but  unconsciously 
he  was  acquiring  that  wide  knowl- 
edge of  human  nature  which  was 
to  be  so  invaluable  to  him  later. 

He  found  his  true  field  of  en- 
deavour at  last,  in  1907.  when  he 
opened  a  little  nickelodeon  in  a 
vacant  store  in  Forest  City.  Penn- 
sylvania, with  camp  stools  bor- 
rowed from  the  local  undertaker 
for  chairs.  (Continued  on  payc  69)

WE  WANT 


The  hottest  problem  in  the  broadcasting  frying  pan 
is  that  of  how  much  or  how  little  news  the  networks 
should  broadcast.  Well,  how  much  should  they  broad- 
cast?   Your  answer  is  as  good  as  ours. 

Newspapers  are  quite  frank  in  their  insistence  that 
news  is  property  which  they  own,  and  broadcasts  of 
news  hurt  the  sale  of  that  property.  Many  of  them 
are  belligerent  in  their  insistence  that  radio  stations 
broadcast  very  little  news — a  decision,  by  the  way,  that 
is  entirely  proper  from  their  point  of  view. 

On  the  other  hand,  broadcasters  are  able  to  reach  the 
ears  of  the  nation  in  a  split  second.  A  Dillinger  killing 
or  an  attempt  on  the  President's  life  is  big  news  and  as 
such  should  be  given  to  the  public  at  the  earliest  pos- 
sible moment. 

In  the  formation  of  the  Press-Radio  News  Bureau, 
newspapers  and  broadcasters  have  reached  a  common 
ground  which  apparently  satisfies  them  both.  But 
does  it  satisfy  the  public?  Are  the  abbreviated  broad- 
casts now  in  effect  giving  radio  listeners  what  they 
want? 

Frankly,  we  do  not  pretend  to  know.  But  in  our 
efforts  to  get  a  cross  section  of  opinion,  we  asked  some 
outstanding  citizens  what  they  thought  about  it.

them  today  need  to  budget  and  conserve  their  time  alonj 
with  the  conservation  and  good  management  of  thei 
income.  For  this  reason  news  over  the  radio  is  par 
ticularly  helpful  to  such  women,  and  probably  there  i 
no  feature  brought  into  the  homes  of  Americans  toda 
which  can  have  such  constructive  educational  value  a 
the  circuits  devoted  to  certain  periods  of  news  broad 
casts.  I  do  not  consider  the  radio  a  competitor  of  th 
newspaper,  for  certainly  every  person  who  wishes  to  b 
well-informed  needs  to  read  daily  the  best  news  dis 
patches  and  editorial  comments  afforded  them  in  th' 
newspaper  columns.  News  hours  over  the  radio,  how

granted  the  inmates,  aside  from  visits  and  letters,  that 
they  would  be  more  loath  to  lose.  Many  of  them  sub- 
scribe to  daily  papers  and  many  more  would  do  so  if 
they  had  the  funds.  Yet  not  one  of  them,  I  dare  say, 
would  give  up  his  daily  paper  for  the  necessarily  meagre 

:  radio  news  reports.  In  fact,  it  is  my  considered  opinion 
that  news  broadcasts  stimulate  and  promote  the  desire 
for  more  complete  knowledge  of  what  is  happening  out-

I  ican's  'Globe  Trotter,'  Harlan  Reade,  and  other  news  com- 

I  mentators  provide  a  large  part  of  the  programs  relayed 
to  the  inmates  through  our  central  control  station.  Any 
omissions  of  these  well  known  personalities  and  their 

r  often  keen  and  penetrating  analyses  of  the  news  would 

\  result  in  hundreds  of  letters  of  protest  being  sent  me  by 

.  the  inmates. 

"I  l>elieve  the  resumption  of  spot  news  broadcasts 
would  stimulate  the  desire  for  further  details.   Far  from 
diminishing  the  circulation  of  the  newspapers,  I  think  the 
frequent  release  of  spot  news  to  the  broadcasting  systems 
'  tor  dissemination  would  have  the  opposite  effect. " 

ROBERT  B.  IRWIN  (a  blind  man)  Executive  Di- 
rector, American  Foundation  for  the  Blind,  says: 


"The  blind  men  and  women  of  America  have  been 
hurt  by  the  change  in  the  method  of  broadcasting  news. 
They  do  not  like  it.  Hundreds  of  them,  particularly  in 
the  south  and  west,  have  written  to  us,  protesting  bitterly, 
beseeching  us  to  do  what  we  could  to  effect  a  return  to 
the  old  system.  We  have,  of  course,  made  representation^ 
on  their  behalf  but  so  far  without  result. 

"The  blind  listeners  of  the  south  and  west  have  been 
more  vehement  in  their  protest  because  in  those  regions 
the  newspapers  and  radio  stations  were  in  the  habit  of 
giving  long  and  leisurely  news  recitals  over  the  air: 
usually  averaging  about  half  an  hour.  These  were  given 
at  convenient  hours,  times  when  it  was  pleasant  to  sit 
and  listen  to  a  news  broadcast.  The  sentiment  of  eastern 
listeners  among  the  blind  is  the  same.  It  has  not  found 
quite  as  strong  expression  because  news  broadcasting  in 
the  east  never  assumed  the  importance  it  did  in  other 
parts  of  the  country. 

"The  discontinuance  of  the  more  comprehensive  svsteni 
of  news  broadcasting  is  a  real  deprivation  and  we  feel 
that  the  method  now  in  effect  should  be  modified  so  that 
the  blind  again  can  have  an  opportunity  to  know  what  i> 
going  on  in  the  world.  There  is  a  blind  person  for  every 
thousand  persons  who  are  able  to  see.  in  this  country, 
about  120.000,  most  of  whom  look  to  the  radio  for  their 
contact  with  events,  with  life. 

"News  Hashes  are  not  enough,  not.  at  am  rate,  thosi

that  last  five  minutes  only.  I,  personally, 
have  tried  several  times  to  listen  in  on  the 
night  news  broadcast  but  have  never  suc- 
ceeded in  finding  it.  A  five  minute  period 
is,  as  we  all  know,  hard  to  find  and  easy  to 
lose  in  the  haystack  of  radio.  Besides,  under 
the  present  arrangement,  they  come  at  an 
hour  when  most  blind  people  are  sound 
asleep.  At  least  this  is  true  for  the  evening 
broadcast  which  in  New  York  has  been  put 
out  as  late  as  midnight. 

"We  do  not  ask  for  a  great  deal.  We 
would  be  satisfied  with  two  fifteen  minute 
news  broadcasts,  one  at  about  7 :30  in  the 
morning,  a  breakfast  program,  the  other  at 
about  eight  in  the  evening,  an  after  dinner 
set  of  flashes.  Under  this  arrangement,  I 
feel  sure,  most  of  the  protests  would  cease. 
A  half  hour  of  news  supplemented  by  pe- 
riods of  comment  and  interpretation  by 
such  men  as  Boake  Carter  and  Edwin  C. 
Hill  should  be  sufficient." 


W.  T.  WESTON,  General  Secretary, 
Seamen's  Church  Institute  of  America,  says: 

"Sailors  must  have  their  news.  It  means 
more  to  them  than  it  does  to  most  people. 
In  all  their  spare  moments,  they  read — old 
newspapers,  magazines,  books  of  facts. 
Naturally  they  feel  any  reduction  in  the 
quantity  of  news,  particularly  sailors  on 
freight  vessels.  Accustomed  to  fairly  long 
broadcasts,  they  now  get  headlines  only. 
But  we  have  heard  no  complaints.  They 
are  a  philosophic  class  of  men.  They  accept 
such  changes  calmly,  knowing  that  what  is 
a  deprivation  to  them  must  be  the  same  to 
other  people,  and  so  cannot  remain. 

"There  is  this  to  be  said  for  seamen  on 
ships  in  the  European  trade,  in  mid-Atlantic 
the  wireless  operator  can  pick  up  the  news 
from  the  Eiffel  Tower  and  British  stations 
and  so  supplement  the  meagre  American  ration. 


AUSTIN  H.  MOCCORMICK,  Commissioner, 
Department  of  Correction,  New  York  City,  formerly 
Assistant  Director,  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Prisons,  says: 

"You  can  take  your  choice  between  letting  these  guys 
go  to  pieces  or  giving  them  something  to  think  about. 
Radio  in  prison  is  a  life  saver.  It  is  good  for  discipline. 
I  don't  think  there  is  an  honest,  enlightened  prison  official 
in  this  country  who  is  not  in  favor  of  it.  It  is  one  of  the 
best  cures  known  for  stir  simple.  That's  when  the  pris- 
oner, shut  off  from  the  world,  from  conversation,  goes 
into  a  daze,  day-dreams,  becomes  a  semi-imbecile.  Listen- 
ing to  the  radio  keeps  the  prisoner  alive. 

"Of  all  radio  entertainment,  the  news  broadcasts  are 
the  best  and  do  the  most  good.  That's  why  we  would  like 
to  see  these  broadcasts  lengthened  and  put  out  at  different 
hours.  At  present  these  five  minutes  of  flashes  twice  a 
day  are  missed  by  practically  all  prisoners.  In  the  morn- 
ing they  are  cleaning  up  or  answering  sick  call.  At  night, 
practically  all  of  them  are  asleep.  It's  too  bad,  because  I 
have  observed  that  the  news,  as  being  broadcast  now,  is 
relatively  free  of  crime  reports.  Probably  the  best  hour 
would  be  six  or  seven  o'clock  at  night,  because  prisoners 
eat  early. 

"(iiving  prisoners  radio  is  not  coddling  them.  It  is  sim- 
ply a  device  for  keeping  them  and  making  them  normal 
citizens.   No  one  is  going  to  do  time  because  there  are 
radios  in  prison."

MRS.  C.  C.  WAKEFIELD,  First  Vice-President,

"Radio  has  done  a  great  deal  to  make  life  bearable  for 
the  shut-in.  Youth  comes  back  and  we  feel  we  are  again 
part  of  the  movement  of  life  as  we  sit  and  listen.  Shut-ins 
enjoy  listening  to  the  news  as  much  and  perhaps  more 
than  to  other  program  features.  It  stimulates  them,  gives 
them  new  incentive.  We  regret  that  the  new  arrangement 
makes  it  necessary  to  give  out  news  so  late  in  the  evening. 
If  there  was  a  news  program  earlier,  let  us  say,  about 
seven  o'clock,  it  would  be  much  better.  As  it  is,  most 
shut-ins  are  asleep  when  the  news  is  broadcast."

says: 

"At  9  o'clock  in  the  morning  inmates  of  virtually  all 
major  prison  institutions  in  the  United  States  are  hard  al 
work  cleaning  up.  At  9  o'clock  in  the  evening,  with  few 
exceptions,  they  are  asleep.  Thus,  prisoners  are  either 
at  work  or  in  bed  when  news  is  being  broadcast.  Ver) 
few  of  the  five  minute  news  flashes  ever  leap  the  prisor 
walls.  And  this,  I  may  say,  has  worked  a  definite  hardship

EVERY  morning  a  shrill  telephone  bell  wakes  Bill 
Huggins  out  of  one  dream  into  another.  As  he 
looks  about  him  at  his  comfortable  suite ;  as  he 
gazes  out  of  the  window  upon  hustling  Broadway 
below,  he  can  hardly  believe  his  eyes,  even  though 
they  tell  him  he  has  won  his  long  fighting  grind  against 
the  wolf  of  bitter  poverty  at  last. 

He's  known  to  the  airwaves  as  "Lazy  Bill  Huggins,"  a 
new  network  find  who  arrived  from  Washington  this 
spring.  Maybe  you've  been  thrilled  by  his  dreamy  bari- 
tone vibrating  to  the  accompaniment  of  a  wistful  guitar, 
softly  breathing  violins,  and  throbbing  piano,  traveling 
intimately  to  your  ears  on  Monday  or  Friday  afternoon 
at  4  o'clock  EST  on  CBS. 

Probably  the  lazy  voice  conjures  up  visions  for  you  of 
a  drawling  Virginia  lad  who  spent  his  childhood  on  a 
honeysuckle  covered  white  plantation  beyond  the  Mason 
and  Dixon  line. 

But  the  possessor  of  that  leisurely  young  voice  has  left 
desperate,  dark  years  behind  him.  He  is  the  same  Bill 
Huggins  who,  up  to  eight  months  ago.  grappled  with  a 
succession  of  tough  jobs  in  order  to  survive.  The  same 
Bill  Huggins  who  overcame  his  sensitiveness  to  stand  in 
the  window  of  a  cheap  Roanoke  clothing  store  and  sing 
through  a  raucous  loudspeaker  to  attract  passersby.  The 
same  Bill  Huggins  who  walked  back-breaking  miles  as  a 
door-to-door  salesman  of  shoe  polish.    The  same  Bill 


Huggins  who  worked  as  a  railroad  laborer,  wielding  a 
pick-axe  against  the  protest  of  aching  muscles.  The  same 
Bill  Huggins  who  ushered  twelve  hours  a  day  in  a  Wash- 
ington theater  patiently,  wearily — even  while  he  became 
the  popular  idol  of  WJSV. 

SOMEBODY  once  said  that  an  artist  must  have  his 
heart  broken  seven  times  before  he  is  fit  to  become  an 
artist.  Bill,  at  the  age  of  twenty-two,  has  topped  that 
number  and  more  in  his  eternal  struggle  against  poverty. 

Bill  began  life  clad  in  hand-me-down  baby  clothes  dis- 
carded by  older  sisters.  The  Huggins  were  poor — so  poor 
that  all  six  kids  knew  that  wearing  out  a  pair  of  shoes 
practically  amounted  to  a  tragedy. 

Yet  young  Huggins  was  blessed  with  one  safety  valve 
to  relieve  his  mind  when  his  adolescent  mood  was  indigo 
— music !  He  overcame  embarrassment  caused  by  wear- 
ing shabby  clothes  to  school,  learned  to  conquer  his  boyish 
longing  for  steak  and  angel  food  cake,  quit  wishing  for  a 
bicycle — but  he  never  lost  an  utterly  intolerable  pang  of 
yearning  for  a  ukelele.  When  he  was  sixteen,  a  lanky  kid 
with  strangely  hungry  eyes,  he  bought  a  uke  with  $2.50 
of  the  $3.00  he  earned  weekly  as  delivery  boy  on  a  bread 
wagon  after  school. 

To  his  family,  swamped  with  financial  worries,  it 
seemed  a  shocking  extravagance.  To  Bill,  it  proved  a 
magic  instrument  that  filled  a  (Continued  on  page  79)

"THE  GREATEST  mistake  I  ever  made  in  my  life," 
said  Harry  Richman,  "was  not  marrying  Clara  Bow." 

You  can't  get  Harry  off  that  subject.  He  twists  every 
question  you  ask  him  into  a  reference  to  Clara.  In  some 
strange  way  she  has  so  colored  his  life  that  he  harks  back 
to  that  great  publicity  stunt — which  turned  into  a  serious 
affair — at  every  opportunity. 

I  told  him  that  his  engagement  to  Clara  Bow  has  been 
written  about  so  much  that  it  might  be  better  not  to  bring 
it  up  at  this  late  date,  but  that  didn't  stop  him.  We  were 
talking  about  his  mistakes,  his  disappointments,  his  dreams 
for  the  future.  "I  shouldn't  have  let  the  newspapers  in- 
terfere with  our  happiness,"  he  said.  "Clara  was  going 
to  give  up  the  screen.  We  had  it  all  set.  But  because 
the  whole  business  started  as  a  publicity  gag  to  get  me 
before  the  movie  public,  I  lost  out  on  love." 

For  Harry  Richman,  the  hard-boiled,  wise  guy  and 
heart-and-soul  a  Broadway  boy  with  pomade  on  his  hair 
and  a  silver  bracelet  on  his  wrist,  is  actually  a  human 
being  with  a  dream  of  which  you  and  I  would  be 
proud. 

Some  day  he  wants  to  say  to  you,  and  not  just  in  the 
form  of  popular  song,  but  literally  and  sentimentally, 
"Shake  Hands  With  a  Millionaire." 

Literally,  because  he's  working  on  a  million-dollar  an- 
nuity. That's  the  big  reason  why  he  drives  hard  bargains. 
When  Ben  Marden  said,  "Come  out  and  sing  for  the  boys

and  girls  at  my  Riviera  road  house,"  Harry  said :  "How 
much?" 

Fifteen  per  cent  of  the  gross,  that's  what  Harry  de- 
manded— and  got.  And  a  $3500  a  week  guarantee.  Dur- 
ing the  torrid  summer  just  past  he  averaged  $7500  to 
$8000  a  week  at  the  Riviera.  The  high  was  $12,000.  And 
besides  this  he  drags  down  $1750  a  week  till  the  first  of 
the  year  for  his  radio  program.  Not  bad. 

Not  good  enough,  says  Harry.  He  has  plans.  He's 
going  to  pay  up  that  million-dollar  annuity  which  will 
guarantee  him  an  income  of  around  fifty  thousand  a  year 
— and  then? 

Well,  you  know.  He's  told  you  before.  He's  going  to 
get  married.  He's  going  to  do  the  things  he  likes  to  do. 
He's  going  to  use  those  three  planes — a  Sikorski,  a  G.  B. 
and  a  Fairchild — which  he  virtually  stores  at  that  private 
hangar  at  the  Flushing,  New  York,  airport.  He's  going 
to  spend  some  time  in  that  Beach  Hurst  house  with  its 
dozen  rooms,  its  collection  of  fancy  firearms,  particularly 
those  phoney  guns  which  criminals  have  used  to  escape 
from  prison  (I  wonder  what  Harry 'd  pay  for  Dillinger's 
wooden  gun?),  his  collection  of  jade  and  ivory  (six  hun- 
dred ivory  elephants — count  'em!),  his  collection  of  first 
editions  and  rare  books.  Yes  sir,  he's  going  to  browse 
and  collect  and  swim  and  fish  and  boat  and  fly  and  .  .  . 

Well,  as  for  me,  I  don't  believe  it  for  a  minute.  I  do 
think  Harry'll  get  married —    (Continued  on  page  98)

going  to  be  let  in  on  one  of  the 
grandest  contests  ever ! 

Do  you  see  those  pictures  of 
cute  little  Annette  Hanshaw  in 
those  perfectly  beautiful  clothes? 
Wouldn't  you  love  to  own  one  for  your 
very  self?  What  if  I  told  you  that  you 
could?  Yes.  actually!  Well,  take  a  deep 
breath  and  listen  to  this!  You  can  win 
your  favorite  dress  among  these  jive 
absolutely  free! 

Yes  indeedy.  So  just  cast  your  eye 
over  those  five  gorgeous  dresses  again 
and  pick  out  the  one  you  want — because 
you  may  l)e  wearing  it  at  your  next  big  date. 

Can't  you  just  picture  yourself  wearing  "Slim  Jim" 
(every  one  of  these  frocks  has  its  own  amusing  name)  to 
that  Christmas  dance?  Or  "Joan  of  Arc"  to  that  Thanks-

Here's  how  it  all  started.  Annette 
Hanshaw  has  l)een  tripping  in  and  out 
of  the  studios  in  such  unusual  frocks  that 
Lanny  Ross.  Mary  Lou  and  the  whole 
flock  of  folk  on  the  Show  Boat  program 
would  sigh  admiringly  every  time  she 
passed.  Well,  one  day  this  Radio  Stars 
representative  not  only  sighed  at  her  per- 
fect gem  of  a  gown,  but  drew  her  aside 
and  asked.  "Tell  me.  Annette,  where  did 
von  get  them — your  clothes.  I  mean." 

Annette  just  winked  and  laughed.  "I'll 
take  vou  up  with  me  next  week  and  you'll 
find  out  for  yourself." 

So  bright  and  early  the  next  Tuesday 
afternoon.  Annette  led  me  right  up  to  a  tall  building,  up 
several  floors  and  through  a  door  with  the  name  "Gladys 
Parker"  over  it.  There  we  came  face  to  face  with  a

"This,"  announced  Annette  proudly,  "is  Gladys  Parker. 
She's  the  clever  girl  who  designs  all  of  my  clothes.

HOW  MY 


DREAMS  CAME  TRUE 
By  Alice  Faye 

as  fold  lo  Virginia  Maxwell 


II  STILL  just  a  little  dazed  over  the  wonderful  tiling 
nich  has  happened  to  me.  Four  short  years  ago  1  was 
i »  of  the  millions  of  girls  who  lives  in  a  suburban  town, 
tithing  ever  happened  to  me;  life  was  humdrum  without 
'tv  of  the  drama  I  used  to  read  about  in  the  lives  of  other 

Long  summer  nights  I  would  sit  on  the  front  porch 
\th  my  brothers,  Charlie  and  Bill,  listening  to  the  crickets 
•  ur  themselves  to  sleep.  After  Mom  and  I  had  washed 
t  the  evening  supper  dishes  there  wasn't  another  blessed 
I  ng  to  do.  Unless,  of  course,  my  favorite  crooner  hap- 
ped to  be  on  the  radio. 

VTes,  1  will  admit  that  I  always  greatly  admired  Rudy 
illee.  He  had  something  in  his  voice  which  any  girl 
mid  thrill  to.  Besides,  he  had  dash  and  personality, 
r  I  had  seen  him  once  in  vaudeville.  And  that  was  only 
iree  years  before  the  public  actually  began  to  couple  my 
me  with  his ;  before  T  found  this  wonderful  man  giving 
;  a  chance  in  radio,  then  in  pictures,  which  has  today 
ought  me  fame  and  fortune. 

Mine  is  an  unusual  story.  I  suppose  it  does  happen 
ly  once  in  a  life-time.  And  because  I  would  like  to  tell 
try  lonely  girl  in  the  world  not  to  despair  of  happiness; 
cause  1  would  console  those  people  who  think  life  has 
ked  'em — they  can  get  up  and  start  again — this  is  the 
al  reason  for  my  revealing,  for  the  first  time,  this  inside 
wry  of  my  great  radio  adventure. 

But  do  let  me  begin  from  that  evening  when  I  first 
ard  Rudy  Vallee  crooning.  His  voice  came  over  our 
tie  parlor  radio  with  a  magic  something  that  thrilled 
e  to  my  toes.  There  was  only  one  voice  like  that.  It 
uld  never  be  duplicated  no  matter  how  many  imitators 
udy  may  have. 

I  glanced  at  my  girl  friend  and  she  looked  at  me.  We' 
liled.  Then  I  got  up  and  turned  the  dial  so  we  could 
ar  Rudy's  voice  a  little  louder. 

"Doesn't  that  voice  do  something  to  you?"  I  remarked. 
"What?  You,  too,  Alice?"  she  laughed.  "Half  the 
owd  in  Washington  Irving  are  nerts  about  Rudy  Vallee. 
)  you've  added  yourself  as  another  fan.  .  .  ." 

ERTAINLY  I  took  a  lot  of  kidding  about  that.  Like 
most  girls,  I  never  dreamed  I'd  ever  have  the  good 
>rtune  to  meet  this  voice  in  the  flesh. 
I  wouldn't  say  exactly  that  it  was  the  lure  of  the  stage 
nich  made  me  leave  high  school.  For  two  years  I  had 
hr  to  Washington  Irving  High  School  on  Fifteenth 
treet  and  Irving  Place,  New  York,  the  heart  of  the 
ty.  Kvery  morning  I  would  ride  down  town  in  the  sub- 
ay  from  our  home  in  the  upper  Bronx.  And  more  often 


than  was  good  for  me.  I'd  catch  myself  reading  the  theatri- 
cal sheet  of  the  newspaper  rather  than  my  history  books. 
After  all.  Eddie  Cantor  and  Rudy  Vallee  were  real  people 
you  could  hear  over  the  radio  and  so  much  more  interest- 
ing than  Napoleon  or  Julius  Caesar  or  even  Marc  Antony. 

You  see,  I  wanted  to  do  something.  I  could  dance 
pretty  well,  for  Mom  had  let  me  go  to  parties  and  dances, 
accompanied  by  one  or  sometimes  both  of  my  brothers, 
since  I  was  sixteen.  I  had  learned  the  latest  steps  and 
could  do  them  pretty  well  if  I  do  say  so. 

My  first  opportunity  came  when  I  heard  the  family 
discussing  finances.  Like  every  other  family  in  the  coun- 
try, they  too  had  felt  the  depression  and  I  took  this  chance 
to  make  the  suggestion  which  had  been  gnawing  at  my 
heart  for  a  long  while.  "Why  don't  you  let  me  get  a  job, 
Mom  ?"  I  begged. 

My  mother  has  always  been  my  closest  friend  and  com- 
panion and  has  always  had  my  best  interests  at  heart  even 
though  she  said  "no"  very  emphatically  to  many  of  my 
wishes  when  I  thought  otherwise.  Now  she  looked  at  me 
and  shook  her  head.  "You're  entirely  too  pretty.  Alice, 
to  go  gadding  about  any  office.  We  ought  to  be  able  to 
have  one  lady  in  the  family,  seeing  you're  the  only  girl." 

"Please,  Mom,"  I  begged.  "I  don't  want  to  work  in 
any  stuffy  office.  You  just  let  me  try — just  once.  And 
if  I  don't  get  a  job  within  a  few  weeks  I'll  give  in  and 
stay  home.  ..." 

After  much  persuasion  we  finally  came  to  a  little  agree- 
ment. I  was  at  last  to  have  my  first  try  at  the  theatre. 

Breathless  with  excitement,  the  next  morning  I  got  up 
early,  took  a  warm  shower,  slipped  into  my  prettiest 
pretties  and  was  on  my  way  downtown  to  find  that  job. 
I  had  read  the  theatrical  columns  in  the  newspapers  very 
conscientiously  and  had  carefully  torn  out  little  references 
to  places  where  novices  might  get  a  try-out.  The  first 
place  I  made  for  was  Chester  Hale's  dancing  academy . 
for  I  understood  that  he  tested  the  girls  there  and  it  a 
girl  was  found  lacking  in  training,  she  could  enroll  in  his 
classes  and  polish  up. 

RIGHT  into  Chester  Hale's  office  I  walked,  but  I'll 
admit  that  my  knees  were  trembling  from  fright.  1 
was  hoping  he  wouldn't  ask  me  to  demonstrate  what  J 
could  do  for  I  knew  I'd  fall  over  myself  from  excitement 
Mr.  Hale  greeted  me  with  a  smile  and  asked  me  to  sit 
down.  Then  he  told  me  to  get  up.  Then  sit  down.  By 
this  time  I  thought  it  was  some  sort  of  joke  being  played 
on  me,  and'I  found  courage  to  tell  him  I  had  come  for  a 
job  in  his  chorus,  not  for  gymnastic  lessons. 

He  smiled  again.  "You'll  do   (Continued  on  payc  H4)

the  father  of  a  child,  Lanny  Ross, 
radio  and  screen  star,  in  an  exclu- 
statement  to  Radio  Stars,  denies 
there  is  any  basis  of  truth  in  the 
rumors. 

"I  am  not  married  at  the  present  mo- 
ment," Lanny  said,  "and  have  never  been 
married.  I  do  not  expect  to  be  married 
in  the  near  future  to  anyone  and  certainly 
I  have  no  children." 

Those  rumors  said  Lanny  was  married 
to  his  pretty  manager,  Olive  White.  An 
additional  statement  that  he  is  not  married 
to  her  was  made  by  Miss  White.  "Lanny 
is  not  married  to  me  or  to  anyone  else," 
she  said. 

Lanny  is  now  in  Hollywood  working  on

she  lay  dying  as  the  Contented  hour  was 
on  the  air.  Later  they  learned  of  her  pass-

been  ill  for  several  months.  Karolyn  Harris 
is  now  the  "Lullaby  Lady."

THOU  SHALT  NOT 


AT  LAST  it  can  be  told !  The  most  amazing  love  story 
in  radio.  The  story  of  an  unusual  love  that  was  built  on 
saeri rices,  heartaches,  honor  and  loyally. 

For  twenty  years,  Harry  Horlick.  leader  of  the  A  &  V 
Gypsies  had  to  stand  by  and  see  the  woman  he  loved 
married  to  another  man — his  brother!  Had  to  stand  by, 
silent  and  miserable,  never  daring  to  tell  his  secret  to 
these  two  people  who  meant  more  to  him  than  anything 
else  in  the  world.  He  might  have  gone 
on  like  this  forever,  hopeless  and  un- 
happy, had  not  hate  taken  an  odd  twist 
and  unravelled  the  whole  tragic  situa- 
tion.  It's  a  strange  story,  so  listen. 

Harry  Horlick  had  always  been  in 
love  with  this  girl,  Fanny.  They  had  known  each  other 
since  childhood,  when  they  both  lived  in  TiHis,  a  romantic 
town  in  the  shadows  of  the  Caucasian  mountains  A.S 
children  they  would  "play  house"  and  make  believe  they 
were  husband  and  wife.  And  Leon,  Harry's  big  brother, 
would  stand  over  them  and  watch  with  amused  adult 
tolerance.  Leon  was  Harry's  god.  You  know  how  im- 
portant big  brothers  can  be.  And  in  Harry's  eyes,  Leon, 
who  was  about  twenty  years  older  and  a  recognized 
musician,  was  the  epitome  of  everything  that  was  perfect. 

There  they  stood,  those  three,  the  two  children  and  the 
big  brother.  If  they  could  only  have  foreseen  then  the 
peculiar  trick  Life  was  to  play  on  them.  .  .  . 

".W  hen  I  grow  up,"  Harry  would  tell  the  girl  with  child- 
ish pride,  "I'm  going  to  be  a  famous  musician  like  nn 


big  brother  and  have  a  lot  of  money  and  then  we'll  get 
married."  And  his  playmate,  starry-eyed  and  trustful, 
believed  him. 

But  it  was  not  to  be.  The  girl's  parents  had  other 
plans.  In  those  quaint  old  Russian  villages,  you  know,  it 
was  the  parents  who  picked  a  girl's  future  husband.  And 
when  Fanny  reached  the  age  of  sixteen,  her  mate  had 
already  been  selected.  He  was  the  son  of  their  good  friend 
and  neighbor,  the  Horlicks.  Oh,  not  the 
younger  Horlick.  He  was  fust  a  dreamy- 
eyed  youngster  who  still  had  to  go 
through  many  years  of  study  at  the 
conservatory  to  become  a  full-fledged 
musician.  No,  it  certainly  wasn't  Harry. 
It  was  his  older  brother,  Leon!  He  was  established  and 
successful,  and  was  already  concert-meister  of  the  sym- 
phonv  orchestra  in  Tiflis.  Leon  would  make  a  wonderful 
husband,  the  parents  of  both  families  reasoned. 

The  marriage  plans  were  arranged.  And  Harry,  when 
he  learned  that  his  little  playmate  was  betrothed  to  his 
brother,  turned  white  as  a  ghost  and  locked  himself  up 
in  his  room. 

And  what  about  Fanny?  Well,  Russian  girls  of  that 
time  didn't  have  much  to  say.  They  did  as  their  parents 
bid  without  question 

So  it  hapj)ened  that  not  many  -weeks  later,  Harry 
watched  Fanny  walk  slowly  down  an  aisle  banked  with 
wild  mountain  flowers,  and  become  the  wife  of  Leon. 

Perhaps  that  heartache  was  in  part  responsible  for

THY  BROTHER'S  WIFE 


Harry's  later  success  as  a  great  musician.  For  when  he 
returned  to  the  Tiflis  conservatory,  he  plunged  into  an 
unrelenting  schedule  of  work,  work  and  more  work.  From 
morning  until-  night  he  practised  on  his  violin  until  he 
had  even  his  professors  wondering.  It  was  the  only  thing 
that  could  keep  him  from  thinking.  He  made  such  remark- 
able progress  that  he  received  an  offer,  while  still  in 
school,  to  play  in  the  great  symphony  orchestra  at  Mos- 
cow— the  youngest  musician  ever  to  receive  such  an  honor. 

THE  next  few  years  were  a  crazy  kaleidoscope  of  hor- 
rors and  thrills.  The  rumblings  of  the  Great  War 
was  heard.  The  whole  Horlick  clan  was  making  haste 
to  move  to  America.  All  but  Harry.  They  begged  him 
to  go  with  them,  but  he  refused.  He  couldn't  stand  peace 
and  quiet  now.  He  needed  excitement,  noise  and  activity 
to  keep  his  mind  off  forbidden  thoughts. 

So  promptly  he  entered  the  Russian  army,  defiant 
and  heedless  as  to  the  outcome.  He  didn't  care,  you  see. 
Fortunately  for  him,  and  for  us  radio-lovers,  he  emerged 
alive,  his  sensitive  fingers  unharmed. ' 

The  Imperial  standard  fell  in  Russia  and  the  red  flag 
of  the  Revolution  waved  in  its  place.  Harry  was  captured 
by  the  Bolsheviki  and  brought  before  the  court,  a  prisoner 
of  the  Reds.  As  he  stood  before  the  judge,  he  saw  end- 
less years  in  Siberia  stretching  out  ahead  of  him. 
"What  is  your  civilian  occupation,"  he  was  asked. 
"A  musician." 

"Let  him  play,"  the  judge  ordered. 


Harry  was  given  a  violin,  the  first  one  he  had  touched 
in  over  two  years.  He  caressed  it  lovingly  and  lured  from 
it  sobbing,  vibrant  notes  that  echoed  his  thwarted  hopes, 
his  frustrated  dreams. 

In  the  end  he  was  sent,  not  to  Siberia,  but  back  to 
Moscow  to  play  in  a  symphony  orchestra  that  was  l>eing 
created  for  a  new  series  of  communized  opera. 

If  he  had  thought  that  meant  freedom,  he  was  to  find 
out  differently.  Now,  he  was  shut  off  from  those  he 
loved,  unable  to  write  or  receive  word  from  his  family 
in  America.  The  pay  was  so  small  that  he  was  forced  to 
live  in  poverty.  His  own  musical  tastes  were  curbed  for 
he  was  forced  to  play  only  military  pieces,  which  he  dis- 
liked intensely.    It  was  almost  as  bad  as  prison. 

In  the  dead  of  one  silent  night,  he  escaped.  Traveling 
by  night  and  hiding  by  day,  he  finally  managed  to  reach 
his  old  home,  Tiflis.  Friends  took  him  in,  fed  him  and 
nursed  him  back  to  health.  When  he  was  well  again,  he 
crossed  the  borderline  and  entered  Constantinople. 

There  he  met  other  refugee  musicians  and  obtained 
work  in  a  cafe.  But  as  he  played  the  familiar,  old  Russian 
folksongs  once  more,  a  flood  of  memories  stabbed  his 
heart,  reminding  him  of  those  happy  days  when  he  played 
with  Fanny  and  Leon  in  Tiflis.  of  his  mother  and  father 
thousands  of  miles  away  in  America.  A  yearning  to  be 
with  his  family  again  overwhelmed  him. 

Less  than  a  month  later,  he  was  on  New  York  soil, 
the  whole  Horlick  brood  about  him,  all  laughing,  crying 
and  embracing.  Oh,  it  was  so   {Continued  on  page  go)

TrilS  is  a  story  for  every  woman  who  has  ever 
thought,  "What  would  I  do  if  my  husband  were 
unfaithful  to  me?" 
Or  perhaps  you  haven't  felt  that  way  about  it. 
You  lived  joyously  in  the  knowledge  that  your  Jim 
couldn't  be  unfaithful;  he  was  a  one-woman  man  and  had 
been  ever  since  he  laid  eyes  on  you.  And  then  one  day 
like  a  thunderbolt  the  knowledge  burst  upon  you,  with 
proof  that  you  could  not  doubt,  that  Jim,  your  curly-head, 
adorable  Jim,  had  been  untrue  to  you.  It  seemed  as  if  ice- 
cold  hands  clutched  at  your  throat  that  day.  And  you 
cried  out,  "Oh,  my  God,  what  shall  I  do?  Shall  I  forgive 
him  or  is  this  the  end  v" 

Life  once  hurled  just  such  a  thunderbolt  at  Julia  San- 
derson. Once  the  knowledge  that  her  husband  had  been 
unfaithful  tore  at  her  heart. 

Yes,  I  know  it's  a  great  shock  to  you  to  read  Julia  San- 
derson's name  in  such  a  connection.  You've  been  made  to 
believe  that  life  began  for  Julia  when  she  first  laid  eyes  on 
Frank  Crumit  in  the  old  Turnverein  Hall  where  they  had 
^one  to  rehearse  "Tangerine."  You've  read  how  Julia  fell 
in  love  with  Frank  when  he  sang  "Sweet  Lady"  to  her, 
and  you've  thought  that  was  the  one  and  only  love  of 
her  life. 


The  truth  is  that  Julia  met  Frank  Crumit  when  she  was 
in  her  middle  thirties,  and  before  that  she  had  experienced 
two  bitter,  tumultuous  marriages.  Twice  life  flung  a  chal- 
lenge to  her,  and  twice  she  answered  with  heartbreaking 
pride,  "I  will  not  fight  to  hold  any  man !" 

This  is  the  untold  story  of  those  romances.  After  read- 
ing it,  I  think  you  will  understand  and  like  Julia  Sander- 
son better  than  you  ever  did  before.  If  fate  had  not 
handed  these  bitter  challenges  to  her,  if  she  had  not  lived 
through  a  purgatory  of  sorrow,  Julia  Sanderson  might 
be  nothing  but  a  sweet,  flighty  woman.  It  was  unhappi- 
ness  that  made  a  real  person  of  her,  that  gave  her  songs 
the  note  of  sympathy  and  understanding  which  you  love. 

At  seventeen  Julia  Sanderson  was  already  the  toast  of 
New  York.  She  was  known  as  New  York's  most  beauti- 
ful actress.  When  she  appeared  in  a  musical  comedy,  the 
college  boys  all  came  to  town.  The  West  Point  boys  threw 
their  caps  into  the  air  at  sight  of  her.  The  Harvard  boys 
kept  her  pictures  in  their  lockers.  Mash  notes  poured  in 
by  the  hundred.  Once,  after  a  show,  a  bouquet  of  flowers 
was  tossed  to  her  on  the  stage,  and  in  the  bouquet  was  a 
diamond  necklace  with  a  note  telling  her  to  keep  the  neck- 
lace in  return  for  one  evening  of  her  company.  Julia 
returned  the  necklace.

Dozens  of  suitors 
flocked  around  Julia

none  of  them  seriously, 
until  the  day  she  met 
Tod  Sloan. 

Todhunter  Sloan  was

ing in  "Wang,"  he  went  to  his  friend,  De  Wolf  Hopper, 
who  was  in  the  same  show,  and  begged  for  an  introduc-

meet  Julia  unless  her  mother  approved. 


"All  right,  let  him 
come  %  backstage," 
laughed  Julia's 
mother.  "After  all, 
she'll  never  see  him

The  chances  are 
that  if  Julia's  mother 
had  known  what  was 
really  going  to  hap-

put  a  stop  to  it  then

was  fascinated.  The 
following  day  he 
brought  down  his  rac- 
ing auto  and  took  her 
for  a  spin  over  Coney 
Island  Boulevard. 
Well,  he  would  give  her  a  thrill,  thought  Tod.  The  car 
whirled  faster  and  faster,  until  it  was  making  seventy-five 
miles  an  hour  and  looked  as  if  it  were  headed  for  certain 
destruction.  It  was  then  that  Julia  looked  serenely  up  into 
Tod's  flushed  face  and  calmly  asked,  "Is  that  the  l>est

The  summer  of  1934  will  be  remembered  in  radio  history. 

It  used  to  be  that  summer  was  a  topsy-turvy  period  of  net- 
work experiments.  Ambitious  kids,  still  wet  behind  the  ears, 
were  given  a  fling  at  the  kilocycles.  Unseasoned,  would-be 
stars  were  presented  to  a  perspiring  public  with  the  vain  hope 
that  one  of  them  might  turn  into  another  "Crosby  or  Vallee. 

As  a  result,  we  listeners  did  our  radio  shopping  in  a  catch-as- 
catch-can  manner  and  defied  the  loudspeaker  to  amuse  us. 

During  the  summer  of  1934,  history  will  recall,  the  loudspeak- 
ers did  amuse  us.  For  which  we  give  thanks  to  as  deft  c 
comedian  as  the  business  of  broadcasting  has  produced. 

That  comedian  is  Jack  Benny. 

Two  years  ago,  Jack  Benny  was  the  most  worried  man  or 
Broadway.  One  of  the  last  of  the  Grandest  Canyon's  top-holf 
comedians  to  go  on  the  air,  he  found  himself  faced  with  the 
job  of  creating  a  completely  new  air  show  each  week.  H« 
admitted  frankly  to  all  who  were  interested  that  he  did  not  set 
how  he  could  possibly  last  more  than  a  month.  There  wer( 
not,  he  opined,  enough  funny  situations  and  gags  to  keef 
people  interested  beyond  that  time.   That  was  two  years  ago 

Most  of  the  weeks  since  then,  Jack  Benny  has  been  on  th< 
air  with  the  sort  of  clean,  canny  comedy  America  prefers.  H< 
has  evolved  and  perfected  his  suave  method  of  delivery  unti 
he  stands  alone.    Unlike  other  comedians,  he  never  forces  hi 


'un.  One  rarely  hears  him  laugh  .  .  .  but  I  laugh  and  you 
jugh,  which  is  the  important  thing  to  us. 

All  this  past  summer,  Jack  Benny  and  his  deft  crew  of  fun- 
ashioners  have  given  us  a  brand  of  air-conditioned  humor  we 
lo  not  usually  associate  with  summer  shows.  Practically  alone, 
e  made  the  summer  almost  the  brightest  season  of  the  year. 

Jack  Benny,  with  the  assistance  of  Mary  Livingstone  and 
-rank  Parker  and  Don  Bestor  and  Don  Wilson,  has  caused  his 
urogram  to  make  history.  Because  of  that,  RADIO  STARS

Movie  "Prohibition!" 

jfy  /he  ({otmfe  1 


HOLLYWOOD  is  being  "cleaned  up."  This  drive 
has  taken  the  form  of  a  boycott  in  some  cities  dnd 
severe  local  and  state  censorship  in  others. 

As  usual,  no  one  has  bothered  to  tell  the  cash 
movie  customer  what  all  the  shooting  is  about.  The 
customers  thought  Mae  West  was  fun.  Millions  of 
them  made  her  the  biggest  box  office  attraction 
in  pictures.  Now  the  moralists  claim  she  was  in- 
decent. Which  brings  up  the  point:  who  runs  the 
movies — the  people  who  pay  money  for  the  show 
— or  the  moralists? 

The  moralists  claim,  of  course,  that  the  pro 
. ducers  run  the  movies,  implying,  in  their 
current  drive,  that  the  producers  are  a 
low  lot  of  fellows  deliberately  trying  to 
lower  the  morals  of  the  nation. 

They  are  wrong.  In  the  first  place, 
the  producers  only  know  what  the 
public  wants  by  looking  at  the 
record  and  seeing  what  they  pay 
money  to  see. 

But  the  moralists  claim  the  customer 
has  had  his  taste  perverted  by  Holly 
wood.     Admitting  that  they  are  right, 
which  I  don't,  even  then  you  can't  blame  the 
producers.   The  movies  you  see  aren't  made  by 
Hollywood.  They  are  re-made  by  moralists.  Every 
picture  released  from  Hollywood  goes  through  a 
whitewash  mill.    The  cash  customer  doesn't  know 
it,  but  he  is  protected  from  evil  by  a  veritable 
army  of  purists. 

First,  there  is  the  Hays  office.  All  scenarios  go 
through  the  Elder's  hands  before  a  company 
starts  production.  Then,  while  the  picture  is 
actually  being  made,  several  middle-aged  ladies 
report  to  Mr.  Hays  on  the  purity  or  evil  of  the 
production.  The  producer  doesn't  have  to  change 
his  picture  legally,  but  the  women  represent 
dozens  of  large  societies  and  clubs,  and  they  give 
him  to  understand  he  better  had — or  else. 

After  the  production  is  completed,  it  is  shipped 
to  New  York  where  another  group  of  middle-aged 
experts,  representing  the  D.  A.  R.,  The  Parent- 
Teachers  Association,  the  General  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  and  a  dozen  other  groups,  are 
called  in  to  see  the  picture  and  "grade"  it.  These 
women  report  for  the  National  Board  of  Review 
which  sends  out  its  findings  to  women's  clubs  all 
over  the  country.    You'd  think,  once  the  picture 


has  received  this  going-over,  that  it  would 
ready  for  the  most  innocent  movie  customer. 


be 


But  it  isn't.  The  producer  now  has  to  go  up 
against  six  legal  censor  boards,  including  New 
York  and  Pennsylvania,  the  two  biggest  theatre 
slates  in  the  union.  By  law  he  has  to  abide  by 
their  cuts.  Which,  as  you  see,  proves  that  today 
movies  are  pre-censored  by  at  least  three  dif- 
ferent agencies.  Yet  the  League  of  Decency 
claims'  pictures  are  indecent.  If  so,  why  blame  the 
theatre   owners   and  producers? 

The  answer  is.  we're  not  dealing 
with    logic.    We're  dealing 
with  our  old  friends,  the 
reformers.     Maybe  you 
think  all  the  professional! 
reformers  died  when' 
we    repealed  prohibi- 
tion.   Maybe  you  think) 
all  the  liquor  snoopers 
went   off   and  quietly 
committed  suicide  when 
the  bars  opened  up 
They  didn't  but  they're  oull 
of  work.    And  the  movie; 
are  It. 

The  cash  customer  may  get  an- 
noyed, of  course,  and  stay  away  from  the  theatres 
But  he  took  prohibition  for  a  long  time;  he  tool 
crooked  prize  fights,  and  it's  very  likely  that  he  car 
take  goo-goo  movies. 

But  the  whole  situation  is  goofy.  Here  we  havt 
the  most  serious  drought  in  the  history  of  the  na 
tion,  impoverishing  the  heart  of  the  Middle-West, 
We  have  war-crazy  dictators  sitting  acros 
two  oceans  polishing  up  their  guns  and  talkinc 
under  their  breaths  about  one  another.  We'v< 
ten  million  unemployed  and  a  labor  situatioi 
that  isnt  going  to  get  any  funnier  as  firm 
goes  on. 

And  all  at  once,  we  find  out  that  the  chie 
trouble  with  the  nation  is  its  movies,  and  that  a 
we  have  to  do  is  clean  up  Hollywood  and  every 
thing  will  be  hotsy-totsy. 

It  doesn't  make  sense  but  the  customer,  as  usua 
probably  will  take  it.  He  may  think  he  goes  t< 
the  movies  for  fun.  But  now  he  is  going  to  fin< 
out  he  is  wrong  ...  he  really  goes  to  be  up-lifte

NASHVILLE,  TENNESSEE  .  .  .  historic,  roman- 
tic ..  .  quiet  and  reserved  .  .  .  the  essence  of  the 
sincere  hospitality  of  the  grand  old  South  .  .  .  the 
home  of  WSM,  the  50,000  watt  station  of  the  National 
Life  and  Accident  Insurance  Company. 

Now  there  is  a  station  of  which  radio  can  be  proud. 
Surely  you've  heard  it ;  or  you've  heard  about  it.  It's 
"Grand  Old  Op'ry"  alone  has  made  the  call  letters  WSM 
as  well  known  as  the  NRA. 

Like  the  city  in  which  it  stands,  WSM  lives  for  the 
glory  of  the  South.  It's  aim  is  to  make  life  a  bit  brighter 
for  the  people  of  the  mountains,  to  bolster  the  spirit  of 
the  cities. 

I  wish  you  could  visit  its  homey  studios.  You  would 
look  out  the  big  windows  on  the  east  to  see  the  original 
home  plot  of  President  James  K.  Polk — to  see  the  ground 
where  once  lay  the  body  of  that  great  man.  You  would 
visit  studio  "A"  and  there  look  out  over  WSM's  neigh- 
bors on  the  north — the  big  war  memorial  building.  And 
on  the  west,  the  state's  capitol  on  a  hill,  with  its  towering 
dome  and  the  nation's  flag  rippling  in  the  soft  breeze. 
You  would  relive  the  history  of  your  early  classroom  days. 

That  is  the  home  of  WSM,  a  station  of  traditions,  the 


home  of  one  great  big  happy  family  of  entertainer- 

Yes,  one  big  family.  Not  related,  but  might  as  well  be. 
Yet  perhaps  they  work  together  better  than  if  they  were. 

Look  at  Harry  Stone,  the  manager.  There  he  sits  at 
his  big  desk  handling  the  business  of  the  station.  But 
do  you  think  he  is  satisfied  to  do  only  that  ?  Not  Harry 
Stone.  You'll  find  him  standing  in  studios  announcing 
programs  just  like  any  other  Tom  or  Dick.  And  that 
grand  old  guy,  George  D.  Hay,  he's  the  chief  announcer, 
director  of  publicity  and  the  ex-manager  of  the  station. 
But  that's  not  all.  On  Saturday  nights  you'll  find  him 
playing  the  part  of  the  "Solemn  Old  Judge"  on  the 
"Grand  Old  Op'ry"  program.  And  he's  the  main  char- 
acter in  "Howdy  Judge."  Lots  of  work,  you  say,  but 
still  he  has  time  to  write  continuity  and  to  even  write 
and  publish  books. 

Have  you  ever  heard  Miss  Christene  Lamb  who  has 
the  entrancing  contralto  voice  which  twice  won  for  her 
the  semi-finals  in  the  nation-wide  Atwater  Kent  auditions  ? 
Well,  maybe  you  didn't  know  it,  but  she  is  also  the  studio's 
hostess.  And  if  you've  ever  received  a  letter  from  WSM, 
the  chances  are  that  she  wrote  it. 

But  you  will  want  to  know  more  about  this  station

that  operates  on  a  policy  of  friendliness  and  good-will. 

Back  in  1925,  E.  W.  Craig,  vice-president  of  the  Na- 
tional Life  and  Accident  Insurance  Company,  conceived 
the  idea  that  his  company  should  have  a  station.  It 
wouldn't  be  a  commercial  station,  but  merely  one  to  foster 
good -will.  It  was  a  hard  job  convincing  all  the  other  vice- 
presidents  and  department  heads  that  the  company  needed 
a  radio  station,  but  the  job  was  done. 

Everything  was  set  for  the  station  to  open  October  5, 
1925.  Nashville  was  all  a-buzz  with  excitement.  Its 
people  were  wondering  what  this  1000  watter  would  give 
them. 

THAT  evening  at  6:30  o'clock  the  transmitter  was 
■  turned  on.  From  headphones  out  in  the  mountains 
and  there  in  the  city  came  the  music  of  a  concert  orchestra. 
For  an  hour  and  a  half  it  continued.  Then  the  station 
.was  silent.  Like  a  Broadway  drama,  it  was  having  its 
intermission.  After  all,  farmers  had  to  attend  their  chores. 
Housewives  had  to  put  the  children  to  bed.  That  done, 
Tennessee  again  picked  up  the  headphones  at  9 :30  o'clock 
for  the  second  act.  It  was  a  gala  studio  program,  a  parade 
of  the  best  talent  the  city  could  afford.   "And  a  dern 


good  program,"  commended  an  old-timer  to  me  recently. 
It  lasted  until  10:30,  and  Tennessee  went  to  bed  knowing 
that  WSM  was  an  established  station. 

Don't  think  for  once  that  Rudy  Vallee  started  this 
business  of  guest  stars  on  programs.  WSM  had  one  that 
very  first  night.  He  was  George  D.  Hay  who  came  down 
from  WLS  in  Chicago  to  make  WSM's  opening  an- 
nouncements. Sometimes  a  guest  appearance  on  Rudy's 
program  means  a  permanent  job  for  the  artist.  But  that's 
nothing  new.  Hay's  appearance  on  WSM  led  to  his 
engagement  as  the  station's  manager.  And  later  to  the 
establishment  of  his  character,  "The  Solemn  Old  Judge," 
a  national  favorite.  Even  today,  to  people  who  know  him, 
he's  "The  Judge"  or  "Judge  Hay." 

In  September,  1928,  WSM  had  its  first  commercial 
programs.  Just  think — three  full  years  without  a  paid 
program.  But  WSM  wanted  it  to  be  that  way.  Adver- 
tisers had  been  purposely  turned  away.  Isn't  that  a  nov- 
elty as  compared  to  present  day  broadcasting  when  men 
think  in  terms  of  "Who  can  we  get  to  buy  programs" 
even  before  they  decided  tJ  build  a  station?  But  as  I 
told  you  before,  WSM  was  established  as  a  good-will 
station.   It  wanted  to  meet  its   (Continued  on  page  91)

YOL.  would  think  that  WSM,  one  of  the  Souths  great- 
est stations  and  producer  of  many  of  the  country's  out- 
standing programs,  would  do  anything  but  shock  its 
listeners.    But  it  did  shock  them! 

One  Saturday  night  in  November.  1925.  WSM  shocked 
those  listeners  no  end.  It  dared  to  present  a  hrand  of 
lowdown,  foot-thumping,  hog-wallow  rhythm  such  as  had 
never  before  ruptured  the  placid  air  of  Tennessee.  Who- 
ever  heard  of  putting  on  such  bands  as  "The  Gully 
Jumpers,"  "The  Clod-hoppers,"  "The  Fruit  Jar  Drinkers," 
"The  Possum  Hunters"  and  a  score  or  more  of  such  hill 
hilly  acts?  People  called  their  music  hoe-down,  or,  as 
the  mountain  folk  said,  "just  plain  ordinary  fiddlin'." 

"That's  awful!"  Nashville  people  complained  the  next 
morning. 

"You  can't  put  that  stuff  on  the  air,"  local  business  men 
told  George  M.  Hay,  then  WSM  station  manager  who 
originated  the  show  and  acted  as  its  master  of  ceremonies. 

It  put  Hay  in  a  predicament.  "We'll  try  it  one  more 
Saturday,"  he  argued.  "Then  we'll  decide  what  to  do." 

The  following  Saturday  the  WSM  transmitter  rolled 
another  serving  of  fiddlin'  across  the  quivering  hills  of 
Tennessee.  And  spread  it  on  thicker. 

"It's  outrageous,"  Nashville  protested  vociferously. 

Loud  though  their  protests  were,  remarkably  enough 
they  went  unheard.  I'll  tell  you  why.  Letters  rolled  like 
a  cloudburst  out  of  those  Tennessee  hills,  lauding  the 
program  as  picturing  the  life  of  honest,  everyday  people. 
Hay  even  received  letters  from  city  folk  in  Cincinnati, 
St.  Louis,  Memphis,  and  Atlanta  confessing  that  they 
appreciated  old-time  fiddlin'  and  wanted  more. 

Of  course  the  program  continued.  At  that  time,  it  was 
an  hour  show  featuring  Uncle  Jimmy  Thompson  eighty- 
three-year-old  fiddle  player  of  the  hills  who  was  greatly 
disturbed  because  he  couldn't  stretch  it  to  two  or  three 
hours,  and  Judge  Hay.  I'll  tell  you  more  about  them  later. 

Today  it  is  a  four-hour  show,  extending  from  8  o'clock 
in  the  evening  until  midnight. 

In  those  days  business  men  hated  to  admit  they  liked  it. 
Now  they  are  standing  in  line  waiting  an  opportunity  to 
buy  time  on  this  program  to  advertise  their  products,  and 
they're  willing  to  pay  double  the  usual  price. 

THE  cause  of  all  this  commotion  was  the  show  which 
we  now  know  as  "The  Grand  Old  Opry." 
The  story  of  how  that  name  originated  is  fascinating. 
At  7 :30  o'clock  one  Saturday  night,  while  people  around 
WSM  were  waiting  for  the  barn  dance  program  to  go  or 
the  air,  George  Hay  and  his  associates  were  listening  tc 
a  program  over  the  NBC  network  by  Dr.  Walter  Dam- 


ERS    AT    FIRST   WERE    SHOCKED    RY    THIS    MASH VI I  I  P  STATION

rosch  and  the  New  York  Symphony  Orchestra.  Thev 
heard  Dr.  Danirosch  say,  "While  we  think  that  there  is  n< . 
place  in  the  classics  for  realism,  nevertheless  I  have  a 
manuscript  here  l>efore  me  sent  in  by  a  young  composei 
in  Iowa  depicting  the  onrush  of  a  locomotive." 

That  gave  Hay  an  idea.  Of  course  he  didn't  tell  hi^ 
associates.  He  waited  until  the  barn  dance  music  had 
started  and  then  he  took  his  st:.nd  before  the  microphone. 

"Folks."  he  drawled,  "this  program  tonight  will  be 
nothing  but  realism.  We're  going  to  play  and  sing  songs 
that  are  real — that  shoot  close  to  earth."  Then  beckoning 
to  DeFord  Bailey,  little  colored  boy  of  the  program,  he 
continued,  "Bailey,  I  want  you  to  come  over  to  the  micro- 
phone and  play  your  harmonica.  I  want  you  to  give  your 
realistic  interpretation  of  the  onrushing  locomotive.  Come 
on  up." 

Bailey  gave  an  interpretation  that  was  so  realistic  that 
the  Judge  was  prompted  to  say.  "Now  folks,  you  gotta 
admit  that  sounded  real.  Dr.  Damrosch  played  a  number 
like  this  with  a  big  symphony  orche.stra  a  few  minutes 
ago.  And  he  said  it  couldn't  be  called  a  classic.  Well,  I 
guess  not.  And  our  program  can't  be  called  an  opera.  But 
folks,  I  don't  see  why  we  can't  call  it  'opry'." 

Whereupon  and  thereafter  the  program  became  "The 
Grand  Old  Opry."  The  name  stuck  and  is  known  through- 
out the  United  States  and  several  foreign  lands. 

That's  exactly  what  the  program  is — "opry."  Folk 
music  of  the  hills — realism. 

If  you  tune  it  in  some  Saturday,  you'll  hear  those 
"God-hoppers,"  "Gully  Jumpers,"  "Fruit  Jar  Drinkers," 
and  240  minutes  more  of  such  hay -seed  novelties. 

YES,  WSM  spreads  it  on  thick  and  is  proud  of  it.  This 
is  the  program  that  has  brought  the  station,  rich  in 
southern  tradition,  the  unofficial  title  of  "America's 
friendly  station."  Its  admirers  number  millions. 

I  said  I'd  tell  you  about  Uncle  Jimmie  Thompson,  the 
eighty-three-old  fiddler  on  those  opening  programs.  Uncle 
Jim  is  dead  now,  died  knowing  that  he  had  helped  start 
something  which  would  go  down  in  radio  history,  but 
still  complaining  because  he  couldn't  play  longer  than  one 
hour.  Henry  Ford  called  Mellie  Dunham  of  Maine 
America's  champion  fiddler.  But  when  Uncle  Jim  chal- 
lenged Dunham  to  a  fiddling  match,  the  Ford  choice 
turned  down  the  challenge. 

Lncle  Jim  would  be  proud  if  he  knew  that  this  four- 
hour  program  now  employs  sixty  people  at  five  dollars 
and  up  per  hour:  that  as  many  as  53,000  letters  have  been 
received  by  the  station  in  response  to  one  program ;  that 
sponsors  pay  double  and  more   (Continued  on  page  92)

WHAT  IS  a  radio  program  without  a  band?    Nothing  i 
certainly — unless,  of  course,  the  program  is  dramatic  i 
Even  then,  a  band  is  usually  hired  for  theme  music  anc 
to  play  short  phrases  to  indicate  a  change  in  scene  of  th< 
play.    Then,  too,  bands  are  the  salvation  of  the  shee 
music  business.    Singers  may  introduce  a  song,  but  i  i 
takes  the  constant  plugging  by  late  night  bands  to  star 
the  public  humming  the  tune.    And,  of  course,  the  orch 
estra  world  is  the  foundation  of  the  recording  business 

All  of  which  means  that  the  big  name  bands  of  th 
U.  S.  are  coming  back  to  the  front  this  fall.  No  matte 
where  you  dial,  you'll  be  hearing  the  biggest  collectio 
of  maestros  that  has  ever  before  paraded  over  the  mik« 

The  Band  Box  salutes  the  bands,  the  corner  stone  o 
the  music  world. 

DON  BESTOR  has  renewed  the  contract  of  his  voca 
ist,  Neil  Buckley,  for  another  year. 

"LE  VOIE  LACTE,"  the  number  you  have  been  heat 
ing  Leon  Belasco  play,  is  a  composition  of  Leon's  brothe 
Jacques  Dallin. 

THAT  NEW  song,  "Say  It,"  which  Phil  Harris'  ban 
introduced,  is  the  creation  of  Buzz  Adlam,  sax  toot< 
in  the  Harris  ork.  He's  the  fellow,  you  know,  who  wroi 
"The  House  Is  Haunted." 

JOEY  NASH,  who  helps  to  make  those  Richard  Hin 
ber  broadcasts  more  enjoyable  with  his  singing,  is  in 
bad  way,  to  hear  him  tell  it.  Something  is  always  tl 
matter  with  him,  physically  speaking.  Those  who  kno 
him  best  say  he  spends  a  fortune  on  doctor  bills.  Bi 
the  odd  part  of  it  is,  there  is  nothing  the  matter  wii 
him.  He  merely  lives  in  terror  that  something  will  ha]

RECIPES  USING  THE  KING  OF  FRUITS  ARE 


FAVORITES  OF  THE  QUEENS  OF  THE  AIR 


By  Nancy  Wood 


GREETINGS,  Friends  and  Radio  Fans: 

This  is  Nancy  Wood  speaking  and  bringing  to  you  the 
first  broadcast  of  the  RADIO  STARS  Cooking  School,  a 
regular  monthly  feature.  Through  this  new  department 
you  will  discover  the  food  preferences  of  well-known 
stars  of  the  air  and  you  will  be  able  to  secure  recipes  for 
their  favorite  dishes.  Then,  too,  you  will  be  given  helpful 
suggestions  and  information  which  will  enable  you  to  fol- 
low these  recipes  with  great  ease  and  unfailingly  good 
results.  In  order  further  to  guarantee  the  success  of  your 
culinary  efforts,  I  promise  never  to  give  you  a  recipe — no, 
no  matter  how  good  it  sounds — until  I  have  tested  it  in 
my  own  test  kitchen.  And  furthermore,  you  will  find  that 
the  necessary  ingredients  will  be  listed  in  the  order  in 
which  they  are  used  and  that  directions  for  combining 
these  ingredients  will  be  simple  and  concise,  as  well  as 
accurate. 

Now  that  I  have  introduced  myself  and  have  briefly 
described  the  aims  and  ideals  of  the  .RADIO  STARS 
Cooking  School,  I  take  great  pleasure  in  presenting  our 
guests  the  Boswell  Sisters,  Connie,  Vet  and  Martha,  in  a 
little  skit  on  apples.  If  we  had  an  orchestra  I  suppose  it 
would  be  playing,  softly,  "When  It's  Apple  Blossom  Time 
in  Normandy,"  with  the  Boswells  coming  in  on  the  chorus, 
but  you'll  just  have  to  imagine  that,  for  we  are  in  a  hurry 
to  get  to  the  Boswell's  charming  New  York  apartment

where  you  can  visualize  your  scribe  in  the  act  of  disco 
ering  the  favorite  desserts  of  those  three  famous  sistej 
I  felt  I  was  treading  on  safe  territory  in  asking  the  gi: 
about  desserts  for  they  are,  all  three  of  them,  so  slend 
that  they  can  confess  to  a  sweet  tooth  without  bringif 
up  dire  thoughts  of  calories  and  reducing  exercises! 

"We  are,  all  of  us,  very  fond  of  apple  desserts,"  Ccl 
nie  replied  in  answer  to  my  question,  curling  up  into  t 
corner  of  the  davenette  in  the  large  sunny  living  roo 
"That  reminds  me  of  a  standing  joke  in  the  family,"  sj 
went  on,  with  a  grin  for  Martha  and  Vet  who  had  coj 
in  just  at  that  moment.  "We  decided  recently  that  w« 
turn  over  to  Betty,  our  maid,  the  responsibility  of  pU 
ning  our  meals.   She  has  been  with  us  two  years  a 
therefore  knows  pretty  well  what  we  like  and  how  I 
like  it  prepared.  We  did  mention,  however,  that  we  w«t 
particularly  fond  of  apples.   I  suppose  that  struck  a 
sponsive  note  in  her  thrifty  German  soul  for  when  S 
went  in  to  our  first  Betty-planned  meal  we  were  plea.' I 
to  find  a  rich  apple  sauce  accompanying  the  meat  com. 
We  were  a  trifle  surprised  and  not  quite  as  pleased  » 
find  Waldorf  salad  as  the  next  course  (that's  apples  t 
you  know — combined  with  celery).  And  we  were  spee 
less  with  laughter  when  the  dessert  turned  out  to 
apple  pie!

JEANNIE  LANG  OWES  HER 


PEP  AND  SPARKLE,  NOT  TO 
HERSELF  NOR  TO  HER  PUB- 
LIC, BUT  TO  HER  TUB.   NO,  IT 


ISN'T  A  GAG— READ  ON! 


THE  LADIES  in  the  picture  are  all  Jeannie 
I^ang.  Yes,  the  same  Jeannie  I^ang  who  hopped 
from  her  tub  at  7:30  a.  m.  and  by  9  was  pos- 
ing for  the  pictures  you  see  decorating  this  page. 
Lovely,  aren't  they?  And  so  early  in  the  morning 
at  that.  So  you  see  for  yourself  that  she's  not 
fooling  when  she  says  if  you  want  to  keep  young 
and  beautiful  then  start  right  now  to  take  lots 
and  lots  of  baths.  All  kinds  of  baths — plain  and 
fancy,  hot  and  cold. 

Not  only  are  baths  beautifying,  but  health- 
giving  and — exciting.  Listen  to  the  trimmings 
that  can  turn  bathing  from  a  necessity  into  a 
heavenly  splash :  soaps,  all  kinds,  sizes,  shapes, 
colors  and  scents.  Hath  powders,  salts  and  crys- 
tals. You  can  even  get  liquid  bath  salts  and  com- 
pressed tablets,  which  are  excellent  to  carry 
traveling.  All  these  soften  the  water  and  perfume 
the  skin. 

After  the  tub,  there  is  no  end  of  things  which 
yon  can  do  to  your  skin  to  keep  it  velvety  smooth 
and  achieve  that  subtle  aura  of  fragrance,  for 
there  are  dusting  powders  and  talcums  galore. 
They  come  in  various  shades,  too,  to  suit  the  skin. 
Choose  a  fragrance  to  match  that  of  the  bath,  or 
not.  as  you  like.  Hut  take  care  that  there  is  no 
clash  in  scents.  If  you  stick  to  the  florals  exclu- 
sively, you  are  pretty  safe,  as  there  is  seldom  any 
disagreeable  contrast. 

Hut  Jeannie  doesn't  favor  dusting  powders 
only.  By  no  means.  Colognes  and  toilet  waters 
make  for  an  invigorating  rub-down,  at  the  same 
time  assuring  dainty  freshness  for  hours. 

For  those  who  like  it,  bath  oils  are  beneficial 
to  the  skin.  You  who  have  dry  skin  should  always 
use  these  or  a  good  cream  after  bathing. 

The  fragrance  of  perfumes,  if  used  immediatelv 
after  the  bath,  will  last   (Continued  on  payc  SO"

SHE  HAS  SCALED  90  MAJOR  PEAKS!  Slender,  but  a  marvel  of  endurance  and 
energy,  Miss  Georgia  Engelhard  says:  "When  people  tell  vie  of  being  tired  out,  or 
lacking  'pep,'  I  don't  know  of  better  advice  to  give  than,  'Get  a  lift  with  a  Camel.' " 


YOU'LL  ENJOY 

this  thrilling  response  in  your  flow  of  energy! 


Miss  Georgia  Engelhard,  cham- 
pion woman  mountain  climber, 
knows  what  it  is  to  need  energy... 
quickly.  In  light  of  the  recent  sci- 
entific confirmation  of  the  "ener- 
gizing effect"  in  Camels,  note  what 
Miss  Engelhard  says: 

"Mountain  climbing  is  great 
sport,  but  it  taxes  your  stamina  to 
the  limit.  Plenty  of  times  up  there 


above  the  timber  line,  within  a 
short  climb  of  the  goal,  I  have 
thought,  'I  can't  go  another  step.' 
Then  I  call  a  halt  and  smoke  a 
Camel. 

"It  has  been  proved  true  over 
and  over  that  a  Camel  picks  me  up 
in  just  a  few  minutes  and  gives  me 
the  energy  to  push  on." 

There  is  a  thrilling  sense  of 


well-being  in  smoking  a  Camel  and 
feeling  a  quick,  delightful  increase 
in  your  flow  of  energy. 

You'll  like  Camel's  matchless 
blend  of  costlier  tobaccos.  Mild — 
but  never  flat  or  "sweetish" — never 
tiresome  in  taste.  You'll  feel  like 
smoking  more.  And  with  Camels, 
you  will  find  that  steady  smoking 
does  not  jangle  the  nerves. 


CAMEL'S 

Costlier  Tobaccos 
never  get  on 
your  Nerves  /  < 


Camels  are  made  from  finer,  MORE 
EXPENSIVE  TOBACCOS— Turkish  and 
Domestic — than  any  other  popular  brand.

Sunny  yellow  TABLE  DISHES 

you  can  use  tn  the  OVEN,  too! 


OVENSERVE  is  its  name.  It's  a 
lovely  soft  yellow  in  color.  And 
every  last  piece  of  it — even  the 
cups,  saucers  and  plates — is  built 
to  stand  oven  heat.  There  have 
never  been  double-use  table  dishes 
like  these  before. 

You  can  bake  a  pie  in  the  pie 
plate,  for  example . . .  and  pop  it 
happily  from  oven  to  table.  You 
can  use  the  little  shallow  shirred 
egg  dishes,  the  cute  one-handled 
Frenchserving  casseroles,  the  plat- 
ters, bowls  and  all  the  rest  of  these 
pretty  table  dishes  for  baking 
custards  and  meat  loaf,  creamed 
dishes,  desserts  or  what  have  you. 
Out  they  come  from  the  oven, 
onto  the  table  they  go. 


Saves  washing  pots.  And  the 
dishes  themselves  have  a  high 
glaze  that  nothing  sticks  to.  No 
scraping,  no  scouring  necessary. 

Note  also  their  convenient 
shapes  and  sizes  . . .  handy  for 
parking  things  in  the  refrigerator. 

Price?  Just  a  fraction  of  the 
cost  of  the  kitchen  ovenwares  you 
know  about.  Buy  OvenServe  by

Any  Other  Man  Would  Have  Died 


Immediately  he  began  to  cast  around  for 
a  different  way  of  doing  things.  A  few- 
years  later  in  another  little  movie  house 
in  Carbondale  he  put  on  the  first  motion 
picture  prologue  or  presentation. 

THE  picture  was  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin," 
'  and  the  prologue  consisted  of  a  few 
singers  recruited  from  the  village  choir 
rendering  southern  plantation  melodies  in 
blackface.  It  was  such  a  sensation  that 
it  ran  for  a  week.  From  that  humble 
beginning  came  the  lavish  motion  picture 
house   prologue   which   we   know  today. 

Of  the  giants  in  the  entertainment  in- 
dustry who  came  from  those  operators  of 
the  nickelodeons,  Roxy  alone  kept  artistry 
as  his  first  interest.  Others,  like  Adolph 
Zukor  and  William  Fox,  drifted  into  the 
financial  end.  But  Roxy.  the  fighting 
dreamer,  remained  always  on  the  firing 
line  of  showmanship. 

Eventually  the  country  boy.  the  small 
town  theater  owner  who  had  done  the 
startling  things,  came  back  to  Xew  York. 
He  first  took  over  the  Regent  Theatre, 
where  he  gave  his  ideas  further  trial. 

Then  as  the  motion  picture  came  into 
its  own,  he  moved  uptown.  Roxy  became 
the  man  who  changed  the  landscape  of 
Broadway  and  claimed  it  in  the  name  of 
the  Xew  Art,  driving  the  legitimate  stage 
to  the  side  streets. 

The  history  of  the  motion  picture  thea- 
tres is  his  history.  When  a  bigger  and 
finer  theatre  came  along.  Roxy  was  always 
at  the  head  of  it. 

First  the  Strand,  then  the  Rivoli.  the 
Rialto,  then  the  Capitol,  and  finally  what 
is  now  known  as  the  Old  Roxy.  It  seemed 
a  superb  triumph  at  the  time  to  have  the 
largest  theater  in  the  world  bearing  his 
name.  But  the  world  moves  and  Roxy 
moved  with  it. 

Then  the  idea  of  Radio  City  was  born. 
It  was  a  projection  so  far  into  the  future 
that  at  the  time  of  its  conception  it  seemed 
almost  fantastic.  It  was  to  be  a  television 
center,  planned  for  developments  yet  but 
dimly  glimpsed.  And  what  was  more  nat- 
ural than  that  the  Rockefeller  and  RKO 
interests  should  look  to  Roxy,  acknowl- 
edged the  greatest  showman  in  the  world, 
for  aid,  counsel  and  management  ? 

I  T  seemed  a  more  magnificent  dream  than 
Roxy  had  ever  imagined.  With  all  his 
volatile  enthusiasm,  he  threw  himself  into 
the  project  unsparingly.  He  toured  Europe 
in  search  of  ideas  and  talent.  He  planned 
and  sweated  with  architects  and  engineers. 
Slowly  he  saw  it  grow  from  a  jagged, 
rocky  excavation  to  a  Babylonian  pile 
with  hanging  gardens,  housing  the  most 
extensive  entertainment  facilities  in  the 
work)  and  the  headquarters  of  a  great 
'•roadcasting  system. 

Only  then  did  Roxy  discover  that  a  man 
could  work  too  hard.  He  fell  sick.  Doc- 
tors advised  an  operation.  But  no.  the 
operation  could  wait.  The  opening  of 
Radio  City  was  coming  in  a  few  weeks. 
That  was  more  important. 


(Continued  from  page  27) 

The  opening  came  at  last.  But  Roxy's 
impaired  vitality  was  reflected  in  the  open- 
ing show.  It  was  not  all  that  he  had  hoped 
it  would  be.  and  that  was  the  beginning 
of  the  storm. 

A  few  weeks  later  he  was  stricken  and 
rushed  to  Post  Graduate  Hospital  for  an 
emergency  operation,  almost  too  late.  Six 
times  his  life  was  despaired  of.  Once  his 
death  was  actually  reported  in  the  papers. 
But  that  indomitable  will  which  had 
brought  him  up  from  obscurity  held  him 
to  life.  He  pulled  through  and,  still  a 
sick  man.  came  back  to  the  theatre — and 
to  trouble. 

"The  gross  had  fallen  S43.000  a  week 
during  my  absence."  he  said,  "and  the  first 
week  of  mv  return  I  brought  it  back  to 
$90,000." 

But  the  disagreements  kept  on  and  even- 
tually Roxy's  resignation  made  front  page 
news.  Probably  no  outsider  will  ever  know- 
just  what  the  trouble  was.  Some  say  that 
Roxy  over-reached  himself,  that  he  be- 
came impatient  with  others'  ideas  of  show- 
manship. If  so,  it  was  but  the  universal 
story  of  man.  the  dreamer,  trying  impos- 
sibly to  remold  the  world  nearer  to  his 
heart's  desire. 

There  were  many  tilings  about  it  that 
hurt  Roxy.  but  most  of  all  the  cruel  com- 
ment of  those  who  had  found  rich  fodder 
for  satire  in  the  boldness  and  original ity 
of  his  ideas.  "I  was  a  butt  of  caricatur- 
ists and  jokesters,"  he  said,  and  there  were 
tears  in  his  eyes. 

It  is  an  easy  thing  for  a  man  to  take 
when  he  is  riding  high.  But  when  he  is 
down  that  is  another  matter.  And  Roxy 
was  down.  He  was  having  his  first  bitter 
taste  of  failure. 

"Did  you  ever  feel  completely  licked?" 
I  asked  him. 

"Licked?"  his  eyes  flashed.  "When  I 
feel  licked.  I'll  cease  to  feel,  that's  all.'' 

DOXY'S  first  impulse  was  to  try  an  im- 
mediate comeback.  So  he  went  out  on 
tour  with  his  Gang,  but  he  soon  found 
he  was  not  yet  a  well  man.  His  old 
sparkle  was  lacking. 

Then  he  decided  his  next  move  must 
be  to  win  back  his  health.  Still  under 
his  doctor's  care,  he  left  Xew  York,  went 
to  Florida,  over  to  Texas  and  then  Mexico. 

But  his  recovery  took  longer  than  it 
should  because  he  was  paying  the  penalty 
of  being  Roxy.  Into  every  hamlet,  no 
matter  how  obscure,  even  in  the  remote 
sections  of  Mexico,  the  news  of  his  coming 
preceded  him.  He  was  asked  to  speak  at 
Legion  gatherings,  before  Rotary  Clubs, 
and  being  Roxy  he  could  not  refuse. 

Xevertheless.  he  got  in  his  daily  rounds 
of  golf,  the  sun  shone  brightly  and  the 
world  seemed  good.  Bit  by  bit  his  spirits 
rose,  his  creative  mind  began  to  function 
again. 

The  idea  of  his  comeback  grew  on  him 
slowly.  Everywhere  he  went  people  were 
talking  radio.  So  he  decided  that  in  radio 
he  would  find  his  future. 


Roxy  is  a  radio  pioneer,  too.  When 
he  went  on  the  air  from  the  stage  of  the 
Capitol  Theater  with  his  "Gang"  in  1921. 
it  was  the  first  really  pretentious  program 
to  be  broadcast.  He  brought  fine  music 
to  the  air  in  the  days  of  the  crystal  sets. 
The  variety  show  was  his  idea  and  there 
is  in  fact  hardly  a'  phase  of  radio  today 
that  he  did  not  innovate.  And  great  is 
the  roster  of  network  names  who  were 
members  of  the  "Gang." 

"But  radio  was  always  something  of  a 
sideline  with  me."  he  said.  "Xow  I  re- 
alize that  the  time  has  come  to  give  it 
my  undivided  attention." 

During  his  year  of  leisure  Roxy  made 
the  great  discovery  that  health  is  the  basis 
of  achievement. 

As  health  returned,  his  spirits  rose  and 
prospects  brightened.  He  began  to  plan 
for  his  comeback,  and  it  was  indeed  a 
happy  day  for  him  when  he  was  able 
to  put  his  signature  to  a  contract  for  one 
of  the  important  winter  shows. 

DUT  it  was  a  happier  experience  when 
the  letters  began  to  pour  in  from  faith- 
ful followers  of  the  "Gang."  from  War 
Yeterans  lying  on  white  hospital  cots 
whom  Roxy  has  befriended,  from  farm- 
ers and  ranchers  whom  he  has  never  seen, 
from  widows  and  shut-ins.  touching  testi- 
monials of  unswerving  loyalty.  For  Roxy. 
a  sentimental  man  himself,  has  touched  the 
sentimental  side  of  millions. 

So  Roxy  is  to  have  a  shown  again. 
But  that  in  itself  could  scarcely  be  a  suffi- 
ciently satisfying  comeback  to  a  man 
who  has  always  stood  at  the  peak  of  his 
profession.    But  wait  

"I'm  going  to  do  one  more  thing  before 
I  go,"  he  said,  and  the  tanned  hand  hold- 
ing his  cigarette  trembled  from  his  eager- 
ness. "Then  they  can  take  me.  and  I'll 
be  satisfied. 

"It  is  going  to  be  a  bigger  thing  than 
I  have  ever  done — far  bigger.  It  is  so 
big  that  I  dare  not  talk  of  it — I  hardly 
dare  to  think  about  it.  The  world  isn't 
ripe  for  it  now.  But  things  are  straight- 
ening themselves  out.  The  time  will  soon 
be  ripe. 

"I  can  only  tell  you  that  it  will  be  in 
radio — the  coming  entertainment  medium 
— and  that  I  assure  you  I  am  going  to  do 
it!"    His  eyes  flashed  as  he  spoke. 

And  when  was  this  great  idea  of  his 
bonv — this  idea  so  big  he  dare  not  yet 
discuss  it?  Why  in  the  very  shadow  of 
defeat?  At  the  time  when  his  whole  world, 
his  life,  the  tower  of  his  achievement,  had 
crashed  about  him.  It  was  only  a  germ 
of  an  idea  then.  But  he  nourished  it.  turn- 
ing it  over  and  over  in  his  mind. 

In  the  midst  of  defeat  he  was  not  afraid 
to  plan  greatly  for  the  future  in  an  un- 
certain present. 

"Life  in  the  future!    The  past  is  dead." 

There's  courage  for  you,  my  hearties ! 

Xow  Roxy  has  before  him  a  shining 
goal,  greater  than  any  he  has  struggled 
for  in  the  past.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  he 
finds  life  good  once  more?

Miss  Parker's  clothes  are  so  popular  that 
they're  featured  in  over  Jive  hundred  lead- 
ing stores  -all  over  the  country." 

Annette  started  her  fall  wardrobe  se- 
lection right  then  and  there.  You  see,  after 
October  2  she  is  going  to  co-star  on  the 
Camel  Cigarette  program  over  CBS,  and 
with  the  two  Camel  shows  a  week  Annette 
is  not  going  to  have  much  time  to  shop. 
Every  dress  was  so  original,  so  impudent 
and  yet  so  practical.  They're  youthful, 
yes — and  daring.  That's  the  way  truly 
smart  clothes  should  be.  Yet  a  mature 
figure  can  carry  them  off  with  as  much 
chic  as  the  young  'uns,  because,  you  see, 
they're  so  adaptable.  That's  why  the  Parker 
clothes  are  such  a  hit  all  over  the  country. 
Gals  who  wear  them  (and  they  should 
know)  say  they  are  the  answer  to  a  maid- 
en's prayer. 

Suddenly  an  idea  flashed  through  my 
mind  (it  happens  sometimes)  and  I  pulled 
Annette  and  Gladys  Parker  aside.  What 
was  the  huddle  about?  Why  this  contest, 
of  course. 

That's  why  every  Radio  Stars  reader 
has  a  chance  to  win  any  one  of  the  five 
glamorous  Gladys  Parker  models  pictured 
on  pages  36  and  37.  And  absolutely  free. 
Almost  every  dress  is  a  "two-timer."  That 
is,  in  almost  every  case  there  is  an  extra 


A.  Oh,  sorry,  old  things.  Here  goes. 
He's  a  University  of  Californian,  too.  He 
got  there  when  he  was  fifteen.  But  he'd 
been  on  the  air  before  then,  having  made 
his  radio  debut  as  a  boy  soprano  on  KPO. 
He  got  to  learning  how  to  play  the  cello 
and  suddenly  found  himself  playing  vaude- 
ville with  one  of  the  things  in  Chicago. 
His  originality  was  busy  displaying  itself 
then  by  having  inspired  him  to  turn  the 
cello  over  his  knee  and  play  it  like 
a  fiddle.  They  tell  of  the  time  he  was 
shot  at  by  gangsters  when  he  was  master 
of  ceremonies  in  a  Milwaukee  night  club. 
"When  the  bullet  missed  you,  Morey, 
what  did  you  do?"  "Sixty  miles  an 
hour,"  said  Morey.  He  fell  in  with  Al 
Pearce,  whom  he  had  met  before,  in  San 
Francisco,  and  he  joined  the  "Gang." 

Q.  What  is  Jerry  Cooper's  name  off 
the  air  and  how  old  is  he? 

A.  I'm  not  supposed  to  tell,  but  it's 
Jerry  Cooper.  He  was  born  April  3, 
1907.    You  figure  it  out. 

Q.  Is  Frank  Parker  still  singing  with 
the  Revelers  Quartet? 

A.  Naw.  Not  still.  Again.  Robert 
Simmons  replaced  him  when  Frank  went 
to    Hollywood.     Incidentally,    for  those 


jacket,  jumper  or  blouse  to  give  it  the 
added  value  of  two  dresses.  Just  look 
over  the  pictures  and  read  the  descrip- 
tions and  you'll  understand  what  I  mean. 
Then  read  over  the  rules  carefully  and 
join  in. 

Remember,  if  you  want  one  of  these 
dresses,  write  to  Miss  Annette  Hanshaw, 
Kadio  Stars  Magazine,  149  Madison  Ave- 
nue, New  York  City,  and  tell  her  in 
seventy-five  words  or  less  which  dress  you 
want  and  why  you  want  it.  If  your  letter 
gives  the  best  reason  for  wanting  a  cer- 
tain dress  and  if  it  is  written  in  the  most 
original  manner,  you  will  win  that  par- 
ticular dress. 

There  are  five  dresses,  and  you  can 
write  for  one  only.  So  be  sure  and  make 
your  choice  before  you  write. 

And  don't  forget  to  state  in  a  postscript 
your  age,  your  weight,  the  size  dress  you 
wear  and  the  color  you  prefer.  You  can 
get  the  dresses  in  the  following  colors : 

1.  Slim  Jim — All  white  with  blue  velvet 
belt. 

2.  Pink  Lady — Pale  pink  blouse  with 
midnight  blue  skirt  and  jacket. 

3.  Joax  of  Arc — All  black. 

4.  Matinf.k — Wine  with  yellow  blouse. 

5.  Mac — Blue  or  red  plaid  with  match- 
ing mittens. 


who  are  still  puzzled,  the  Cities  Service 
Quartet  is  the  Revelers. 

Q.  C-c-can  yu-yu-yuh  tell  us  s-s-some- 
thing  ab-bout  K-K-K-Katy  uh-S-S-Smith  ? 

A.  S-S-Sure.  Yu-yu-you  b-b-b-b — .  Oh, 
I'll  write  it.  Her  real  name  is  Katherine 
Smith  and  she  was  born  on  May  5,  1908, 
in  Greenville,  Virginia,  of  American  de- 
scent. She  was  educated  in  public 
schools  of  Washington,  D.  C.  Her's  was 
no  training  in  elaborate  professional 
schools.  She  got  her  experience  in  vaude- 
ville. Her  radio  break  came  when  Ted 
Collins  saw  her  in  a  musical  show  on 
Broadway  and  got  her  a  program.  She 
has  an  older  sister,  a  government  em- 
ployee in  Washington.  Kate  has  blue  eyes 
and  brown  hair  and  is  five  feet  six  inches 
tall.  She  likes  to  eat  all  the  things  a 
girl  her  size  shouldn't — ice  cream  and 
yummy  cake.  She  really  bakes  swell  cake 
herself.  She  likes  to  play  golf  and  fly  and 
as  a  matter  of  fact,  likes  men  who  do 
these  things.  She's  not  married  nor  en- 
gaged. 

Q.  Does  Lanny  Ross  sing  on  any  other 
program  beside  Show  Boat? 

A.  Not  now.  He's  under  exclusive 
contract  to  General  Foods.

STOP  THAT 

COLD 

IN  ITS  TRACKS! 

Don 7  Let  It"  Get  Going!" 


A COLD  is  nothing  to  "monkey  with".  It 
can  take  hold  quickly  and  develop 
seriously.  Take  no  chances  on  inviting 
dangerous  complications. 

Treat  a  cold  promptly  and  for  what  it  is — ■ 
an  internal  infection.  Take  a  remedy  that  is 
internal  and  one  that  is  expressly  for  colds  and 
not  for  a  number  of  other  things  as  well. 

The  wise  thing  to  take  is  Grove's  Laxative 
Bromo  Quinine — for  several  reasons.  Instead 
of  a  "cure-all,"  it  is  expressly  a  cold  remedy. 
It  is  also  an  internal  treatment  which  a  cold 
requires.  And  it  is  complete  in  effect. 

Does  the  4  Things  Necessary 

First,  it  opens  the  bowels.  Second,  it  combats 
the  cold  germs  in  the  system  and  reduces  the 
fever.  Third,  it  relieves  the  headache  and 
grippy  feeling.  Fourth,  it  tones  the  entire 
system  and  helps  fortify  against  further  attack. 
Anything  less  than  that  is  not  complete 
treatment. 

Safe! 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  contains 
nothing  harmful  and  is  absolutely  safe  to  take. 
For  more  than  forty  years  it  has  been  the 
standard  cold  and  grippe  tablet  of  the  world, 
the  formula  always  keeping  pace  with  Modern 
Medicine. 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  comes  in 
two  sizes — 30c  and  50c.  The  50c  size  is  by  far 
the  more  economical  "buy"  as  it  gives  you 
20%  more  for  your  money. 

Always  ask  fully  for  Grove's  Laxative  Bromo 
Quinine  and  look  for  the  letters  LBQ  stamped 
on  every  tablet.

EYES 
SAY  MORE 

than  lips  ever  can. 

— How  to  beautify  your  eyes 
in  4O  seconds. 

TOVELY  eyes  depend  on  long,  lovely  lashes. 

You,  too,  can  beautify  them  in  40  sec- 
onds! You'll  be  delighted  at  your  utterly 
changed  appearance— so  will  others. 

You'll  never  realize  the  power  of  beauti- 
ful eyes  until  you  try  Winx— my  perfected 
formula  of  mascara  that  keeps  lashes  soft, 
alluring.  Your  eyes— framed  with  Winx 
lashes— will  have  new  mystery,  new  charm, 
I  promise  you. 

So  safe— smudge-proof,  non-smarting,  tear- 
proof— Winx  is  refined  to  the  last  degree. 
Yet  so  quick  to  apply— a  morning  applica- 
tion lasts  until  bed-time. 

Millions  of  women  prefer  Winx  to  ordi- 
nary mascara.  New  friends  are  adopting 
Winx  every  day.  Without  delay,  you,  too, 
should  learn  the  easy  art  of  having  lustrous 
Winx  lashes.  Just  go  to  any  toilet  counter 
and  buy  Winx.  Darken  your  lashes— note  the 
instant  improvement. 

To  introduce  Winx  to  new  friends,  note 
my  trial  offer  below.  Note,  too,  my  Free 
Booklet  offer,  "Lovely  Eyes— How  to  Have 
Them".  I  not  only  tell  of  the  care  of  lashes, 
but  also  what  to  do  for  eyebrows,  how  to  use 
the  proper  eye-shadow,  how  to  treat  "crow's 
feet",  wrinkles,  etc.  .  .  .  LOUISE  ROSS.

{Continued  from  paye  30) 

for  the  accommodation  of  adult  prisoners, 
in  the  United  States  and  only  sixty  per 
cent  of  them  have  radio  facilities.  These 
consist  usually  of  a  central  receiving  plant 
with  either  ear-sets  for  the  individuals  or 
loud  speakers  placed  at  the  mess-hall,  the 
cell-block  and  other  central  points.  Nearly 
all  of  these  installations  were  made  with 
funds  earned  or  raised  by  the  prisoners. 

"To  bar  these  men  and  women  from 
news  when  they  have  at  great  effort  suc- 
ceeded in  getting  radio  into  the  prison  is  a 
gratuitous  cruelty.  It  is  also  social  stupid- 
ity for  when  the  news  is  shut  off,  so  is  the 
world,  and  with  it  one  of  the  greatest  in- 
centives to  reform  and  to  good  behavior. 
Radio  makes  life  in  prison  more  bearable, 
it  is  true.  By  the  same  token,  it  increases 
the  desire  to  get  out  and  stay  out."

and  more 


FLOYD  GIBBONS 


Do  you.  too.  want  to  get  into 
Broadcasting — the  big  fascinat- 
ing, g  amorous,  industry  of  today? 
Do  you  want  to  earn  good 
money?  Do  you  want  to  have 
y  our  voice  brought  into  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  of  homes  all 
over  the  land?  If  you  do,  you'll 
read  every  word  of  this  amazing 
opportunity. 

For  no  matter  where  you  live — 
no  matter  how  old  or  how  young 
you  are — if  you  have  talent — 
then  here  is  a  remarkable  new 
way  to  realize  your  life's  ambi- 
tion. Broadcasting  needs  new 
talent — in  fact,  the  demand  far 
exceeds  the  available  supply 

Great  Opportunity  in 
Radio  Broadcasting 

Because  Broadcasting  is  expanding  «o  fast  that  no 
one  can  predict  to  what  gigantic  size  it  will  grow  in 
the  next  few  years — Broadcasting  ( fters  unusual 
opportunities  for  fame  and  success  to  those  who  can 
qualify. 

Think  of  it!  Broadcasting  has  been  taking  such 
rapid  strides  that  today  advertisers  alone  are  spend- 
ing more  than  a  hundred  million  dollars  for  advertising 
over  the  air.  Think  of  the  millions  that  will  be  spent 
next  year,  and  the  year  after  over  more  than  600 
stations — think  of  the  glorious  opportunities  for 
thousands  of  talented  and  properly  trained  men  and 
women. 

Many  Earn  Good  Money  Quickly 

Why  not  get  your  share  of  these  millions?  For  if 
your  speaking  or  singing  voice  shows  promise,  if  you 
are  good  at  thinking  up  ideas,  if  you  can  act,  if  you 
have  any  hidden  talents  that  can  be  turned  to  profit- 
able Broadcasting  purposes,  perhaps  you  may  qualify 
for  a  job  before  the  microphone.  Let  the  Floyd  Gib- 
bons course  show  you  how  to  turn  your  natural 
ability  into  money  I  But  talent  alone  may  not  bring 
you  Broadcasting  success.  You  must  have  a  thor- 
ough and  complete  knowledge  of  the  technique  of  this 
new  industry.  Many  a  singer,  actor,  writer  or  other 
type  of  artist  who  had  been  successful  in  different 
lines  of  entertainment  was  a  dismal  failure  before  the 
microphone.  Yet  others,  practically  unknown  a 
short  time  ago,  have  risen  to  undreamed  of  fame  and 
fortune.  Why?  Because  they  were  trained  in 
Broadcasting  technique,  while  those  others  who  failed 
were  not. 

Yet  Broadcasting  stations  have  not  the  time  to 
train  you.  That  is  why  the  Floyd  Gibbons  School  of 
Broadcasting  was  founded — to  bring  you  the  train- 
ing that  will  start  you  on  the  road  to  Broadcasting 
success.  This  new  easy  Course  gives  you  a  most 
complete  and  thorough  training  in  Broadcasting 
technique.  It  shows  you  how  to  solve  every  radio 
problem  from  the  standpoint  of  the  Broadcast — gives

Why  do  some  napkins  hurt?

The  Band  Box 


{Continued  from  page  63) 

BEFORE  LOXG,  sportswriters  all  over 
he  country  will  be  selecting  all-American 
football  teams.  Now  along  comes  Jimmie 
jrier.  Woodbury  maestro,  to  name  an  all- 
American  band,  composed  entirely  of  men 
>\ho  baton  over  their  own  individual  or- 
.-hestras.  Here  they  are  :  strings — Dave 
Rubinoff,  Joe  Venuti,  Georgie  Stoll  and 
Eddie  South;  viola — Paul  Whiteman; 
-ax.>phones — Glen  Gray.  Isham  Jones. 
Frankic  Trumbauer.  and  Adrian  Rollini ;

Ellington  and  Eddie  Duchin ;  drums — Abe 
Lyman;  banjo — Eddie  Peabody  ;  trumpets 
—Henry  Busse.  Roy  Fox.  Red  Nichols 
and  Louis  Armstrong;  trombones  — 
Tommy  Dorsey  and  Slim  Martin, 
i  The  leader  of  this  all-star  band  would 
be  Ben  Bernie  with  Cab  Calloway  acting 
as  his  substitute. 

BILLY  MILLS,  new  conductor  of  the 
Columbia  Studio  orchestra  in  Chicago,  was 
bandmaster  of  the  31st  Field  Artillery  dur- 
ing the  war.  His  commander  was  Col. 
Henry  Stimson.  later  Secretary  of  State. 

RADIO'S  longest  distance  commuter 
this  season  seems  to  be  Mischa  Mischa- 
koff.  concert  master  of  Charles  Previn's 
erchestra.  heard  on  the  Real  Silk  Silken 
Strings  program.  Six  days  a  week  Mis- 
chakoff  is  concert  master  of  the  Chau- 
tauqua Symphony  orchestra  at  Chautau- 
qua. Xew  York.  Every  Saturday  eve- 
ning he  hops  a  train  arriving  in  Chicago 
on  Sunday  morning.  Then  there's  an  after- 
noon of  rehearsal  and  at  7  p.  m.  (EST) 
the  Silken  Strings  show.  After  the  pro- 
gram Mischakoff  grabs  a  bite  and  takes  a 
sleeper  back  to  Xew  York.  W  hen  autumn 
comes  Mischakoff  gives  up  commuting  for 
he  is  then  also  concert  master  of  the  Chi- 
cago Symphony  orchestra. 

When  Your 
Husband  Cheats 

{Continued  from  page  49) 

No  wonder  he  was  amused  and  thrilled: 
no  wonder  he  found  Julia  as  much  of  a 
novelty  in  his  life  as  she  found  him  in 
hers. 

It  wasn't  long  before  they  were  both 
sure  that  they  were  in  love.  But  when 
Tod  proposed  to  Julia,  she  only  shook 
her  head. 

Not  knowing  how  much  his  love  for 
Julia  was  bound  up  with  the  gambling  fever 
in  his  blood.  Tod  pleaded  with  her.  "X'oth- 
ing  that  I've  been,  nothing  I've  ever  wanted 
to  do  matters  beside  you.  Julia.  I'll  give 
up  gambling.  I'll  give  up  the  race  track. 
Why.  it's  a  cinch.  The  races  are  all 
crooked,  anyway.  Xo  one  knows  that 
better  than  I." 

And  Julia,  romantic,  lovely  Julia,  be- 
lieved him.  because  every  pulse   in  her 
body,  every  beat  of  her  heart  told  her 
that  she  wanted  to  believe  him.

A  LMOST  any  disposable  napkin  feels 
i\  fairlv  soft  to  begin  with. 

But  does  it  stay  soft  when  it"s  worn? 
There's  the  test! 

An  inferior  napkin  won  t.  Its  harsh, 
rough-cut  edges  soon  begin  to  harden. 
They  rub.  They  cut.  If  there's  even  a 
slight  delay  in  changing  napkins,  deli- 
cate skin  surfaces  become  chafed  — 
until  even"  step  hurts! 

Modess  starts  soft  and  stays  soft. 
Why?  Because  Modess  is  a  new-type 
napkin— made  without  any  sharp  edges 
to  invite  painful  hardening. 


silky  gauze  and  see — just  underneath 
—  a  drift  of  downy  fibres.  That's 
Zobec  —  exclusive  with  Modess.  An 
extra  insurance  against  chafing.  Then 
notice  that  covering  wrapped  around 
the  Modess  filler — it's  as  soft  as  the 
finest  facial  tissue.  Finaily — fold  back 
the  covering  and  see  .  .  .  the  famous 
Modess  filler.  Fluffy.  Soft.  Super- 
absorbent.  It's  made  of  wisps  of  cellu- 
lose actually  blown  into  shape. 

And  remember — this  softer  napkin 
is  safer,  too.  Its  special  protective  back- 
ing guards  against  '  accidents." 


Try  this  ten -second  test — 

Take  a  Modess  napkin  from  its  box 
and  look  at  it.  See?  Every  edge  is 
rounded.  No  cut-out 
papery  layers  there! 

Now  press  the  pad  be- 
tween the  palms  of  your 
hands.  Did  you  ever  im- 
agine a  disposable  nap- 
kin could  be  that  soft? 

Next — get  the  "inside

Modess  is  not  expensive! 

Ask  vour  druggist — or  your  favorite  de- 
partment store— forModess.  You'll  be  as- 
tonished at  its  low  price. 

But  better  even  than 
its  bargain  price — is  the 
extra  assurance  —  the 
lasting  comfort  Modess 
brings.  \War  Modess 
once  and  you 11  never 
again  be  satisfied  with 
ordinary,  harsh  napkins!

p  in  a  stern  life.  It  carried  him  away 
Imi  reality.  And,  in  the  end,  the  frail 
lie  instrument  became  his  battling  axe 
;  linst  poverty ! 

True,  nobody  took  Bill's  audition  at  the 
lal  Roanoke  station  very  seriously.  That 
i  except  Bill.  And  he  was  so  frightened 
lit  he  forgot  his  lyrics,  and  had  to  fill 
i  with  miserable  boo-boop-e-doops.  But 
|  station  put  him  on  anyway,  for  two 
!  >ts  a  week.  There  was  no  remunera- 
te except  in  the  glamor  Bill  found  fac- 

;  the  mike. 

ROBABLY  the  greatest  turning  point  in 

Bill's  life  was  the  sudden  death  of  his 
<cher.  This  disaster  made  him,  at  seven- 
•n,  the  head  of  the  family.  As  the  oldest 

1,  Bill  surrendered  all  personal  dreams 
d  ambitions  to  take  responsibility  upon 
;  shoulders.  In  a  way,  he  became  a 
isoner,  shackled  to  drudgery. 
Though  artistically  Bill  was  set  free! 
•fore  his  father's  death,  he  had  never 
en  able  to  express  the  emotions  which 

youthfully  guarded  beneath  the  surface, 
le  grief  released  emotion  and  put  depth 
:o  his  songs. 

An  hour  after  his  father's  funeral,  Bill 
owed  up  at  the  studio  for  his  program, 
I  choked  up  and  feeling  that  he  couldn't 
ce  the  microphone.  He  learned,  for  the 
st  time,  that  "the  show  must  go  on." 
imehow  it  did.  His  first  song  was 
-lome."  He  poured  all  his  heart  into  it 
'-all  his  silent  promises  to  his  mother.  It 
as  such  an  intimate  and  touching  per- 
irmance  that  letters  came  pouring  into 
e  studio  afterwards.  For  five  years  be- 
>re  he  came  to  New  York  Bill  used 
Home"  as  his  theme.  And  each  time  he 
mg  it  sounded  like  a  vow. 
In  those  five  years  the  cards  seemed 
acked  against  him.  But  fate  taught  him 
hard  lesson  which  some  artists  never 
am:  Talent  isn't  always  the  latch  key 
tr  which  to  escape  through  the  stern  door 
f  responsibility. 

Bill  attempted  valiantly  to  fill  his  fath- 
r's  shoes.  Mr.  Huggins  had  been  assistant 
lanager  in  a  railroad  storehouse.  Aiming 
oggedly  at  the  same  job,  his  son  was 
iken  on  the  payroll  first  as  an  ordinary 
iborer.  Out  in  the  sun  on  broiling  sum- 
ler  days,  he  dug  ditches.  Sweating  with 
eality,  his  mind  escaped  into  day  dreams. 

When  the  company  promoted  him  to  a 
lerk  in  the  office  he  knew  brief  triumph 
nd  had  hopes  of  being  promoted  to  his 
ather's  job.  Then  business  conditions 
orced  a  curtailment  of  the  payroll.  Bill 
vas  given  notice. 

J  HAT  day  he  struck  rock  bottom  of 
despair.  His  nerves  stampeded  in  his 
orehead.  His  eyes  burned.  Not  with 
■elf -pity,  but  with  the  conviction  that  he 
lad  failed  his  family  when  they  needed 
iim  most.  The  only  thing  that  rescued 
iim  from  a  dangerously  morbid  state  of 
nind  was  his  radio  program. 

He  walked  out  of  the  station  with  his

^CHECK  YOUR 


SKIN  TROU 


□  SALLOW  SKIN 


Nine  Times  Out  of  Ten 
Paralyzed  Pores"  are  the  Cause! 


Coarse  Pores,  Blackheads,  Sallow  and  Muddy  Skin, 
Excessively  Oily  or  Dry  Skin — practically  every 
skin  trouble  to  which  woman  is  victim — is  but  some 
manifestation  or  other  of  "Paralyzed  Pores". 

"Paralyzed  Pores"  are  due  to  nothing  other  than 
wrong  method  of  skin  care ! 

Ordinary  methods  are  all  right  as  far  as  they  go, 
but  they  don't  go  far  enough  !  They  reach  the  sur- 
face dirt  of  the  skin,  but  not  the  subsurface.  And 
it's  that  underneath  dirt  that  causes  all  the  trouble, 
leading,  as  it  does,  to  "Paralyzed  Pores". 

Everything  but  the  Right  Thing! 

In  our  efforts  to  remove  this  underneath  dirt  we  do 
everything  but  the  right  thing.  We  use  hot  and  cold 
applications  which  shock  the  delicate  pores  and 
render  them  crippled.  We  use  strongalcoholicprep- 
arations  which  do  not  remove  the  dirt,  but  only 
close  the  pores  and  seal  it  in. 

We  use  creams  which  do  not  penetrate,  but  which 
have  to  be  rubbed  in  and  which  only  pack  the  dirt 
in  tighter.  Continuing  the  stuffing,  the  pores  be- 
come enlarged  and  stretched  to  the  point  where 
they  lose  all  power  to  open  and  close — in  other 
words,  "paralyzed". 

When  pores  become  paralyzed  they  become 
enlarged  and  conspicuous.  Blackheads  and 
whiteheads  appear.  The  whole  breathing 
and  functioning  of  the  skin  is  impaired  and 
it  becomes  lifeless  and  drab  and  either  too 
dry  or  oily.  It  is  simply  impossible  to  have 
a  beautiful  skin  with  "Paralyzed  Pores". 


fact  that  it  penetrates.  It  does  not  stay  on  the  sur- 
face. It  does  not  have  to  be  rubbed  in  or  massaged 
in,  which  only  stretches  and  widens  the  pores.  You 
just  smooth  it  on.  Almost  instantly,  and  of  its  own 
accord,  this  face  cream  finds  its  way  into  the  pores. 
Penetrating  the  little  openings  to  their  depths,  it 
dissolves  the  accumulated  grime  and  waste  mat- 
ter and  floats  it  to  the  surface  where  it  is  easily 
wiped  off. 

Also  Lubricates  the  Skin 

As  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  cleanses  the  skin  it  also 
lubricatesit.lt  resupplies  it  with  a  fine  oil  that  does 
away  with  dryness,  harshness  and  scaliness  and 
makes  the  skin  soft  and  smooth  and  flexible.  For 
this  reason  face  powder  does  not  flake  or  streak  on 
a  skin  that  is  cleansed  with  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream.

I  want  you  to  try  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  at  my

longer.  Don't  ask  me  why,  but  I  know 
it  does — seeps  into  the  skin  perhaps. 

Do  you  realize  that  baths  can  put  you 
into  any  mood?  If  you  have  a  lot  of 
work  to  do,  Jeannie  advises  an  invigorat- 
ing dip  into  pine  or  geranium  scented 
waters.  For  a  light,  carefree  mood,  select 
florals  such  as  rose,  sweet  pea  or  violet. 
Jasmine,  narcissus  and  gardenia  are  pleas- 
ant for  the  evening.  Or  any  one  of  the 
myriad  of  others  that  may  or  may  not 
be  florals. 

My  goodness,  are  you  dizzy  from  this 
array  of  scents?  Certainly  I  do  not  sug- 
gest that  you  rush  out  and  stock  your 
shelves  with  these  hundred  and  one  sug- 
gestions. But  don't  confine  yourself  to  a 
regular  routine  with  just  a-  cake  of  soap. 
Go  shopping  for  the  luxurious  trimmings 
that  cost  so  little  and  mean  so  much. 
You'll  soon  discover  that  a  bath  can  be 
as  refreshing  as  a  cocktail  and  as  sooth- 
ing as  a  sedative. 

To  start  the  mornings.  I  like  to  hop 
under  a  tepid  shower  and  gradually  turn 
it  to  cold.  It  acts  as  a  tonic  and  general 
stimulant,  but  is  not.  of  course,  thoroughly 
cleansing.  I'd  like  to  remark  that  if  you 
are  one  of  those  persons  whose  circula- 
tion does  not  react  swiftly  so  that  your 
body  immediately  becomes  a  tingly  red. 
then  by  all  means  adhere  to  the  tepid 
temperature. 

Take  a  very  warm  bath  at  night  to 
cleanse  the  skin  and  relax  the  muscles — 
and  mind.  Scrub  the  skin  with  a  good 
toilet  soap.  Use  a  brush  or  sponge  to 
cleanse  the  body.  It  also  stimulates  and 
rubs  away  the  dead  particles  of  skin. 

Before  getting  out  of  the  tub.  rinse  off 
every  particle  of  soap.  If  you  haven't  a 
shower,  then  pull  the  plug  from  the  tub 
and  run  in  fresh  water. 

No,  I'm  not  forgetting  the  girls  who 
haven't  gallons  of  boiling  water  gushing 
from  the  faucet.  Lots  of  us  have  those 
pesky  tanks  and  must  go  easy  on  the  hot

intoxicated  with  happiness. 

Suddenly  he  noticed  a  slim  hand 
stretched  toward  him.  "How  have  you 
tared,  Harry?"  the  owner  was  asking,  in 
a  soft,  Russian  voice. 

He  looked  up.  It  was  Fanny.  The  old 
hurt  in  his  heart  returned.  He  had  almost 
forgotten  about  her  in  the  excitement  of 
being  with  the  family.  But  choking  down 
his  emotions  he  forced  his  tone  to  be  im- 
personal. That's  the  way  it  should  be. 
She  was  his  brother's  wife. 

Luck  must  have  been  with  the  younger 
Horlick  for  almost  immediately  he  got  a 
job  as  violinist  in  a  downtown  Russian

she  says,  it  is  exceedingly  healthful, 
it  exposes  the  body  to  the  air  long( 
Incidentally,  this  is  a  good  way  to  take 
salt  bath.  Throw  several  handfuls  of  5 
salt  or  ordinary  kitchen  salt  into  a  bo 
of  water  and  then  with  a  rough  cloth 
brush  wash  the  body.  Rinse  and  finish  <

diately  by  the  A  &  P  Company,  and  to- 
day his  "A  &  P  Gypsies"  ensemble  is 
a  radio  institution.  His  original  string 
ensemble  numbered  six.  Now  there  are 
forty-one  Gypsies  pouring  their  passion- 
ate melodies  over  the  airwaves. 

In  all  those  thirteen  years  that  Horlick 
has  been  on  the  radio  he  has  always  been 
a  top-notclier.  Success,  fame,  money,  pop- 
ularity— all  have  been  his  almost  from  the 
start.  He  had  everything,  it  seemed.  But 
still  he  wandered  about,  a  lonely  figure  in 
the  bustle  and  gayety  of  the  studios. 

"You  ought  to  get  married,"  friends  told 
him.  "You  can  afford  to  give  your  wife 
every  luxury.  You  yourself  are  a  home 
man.    You  need  companionship." 

A  ND  yet,  during  all  of  those  years,  with 
~  beautiful,  alluring  young  women  cross- 
ing his  path,  he  never  married.  You 
might  have  guessed  the  reason  by  now. 

But  understand  this — he  saw  Fanny 
only  when  she  was  with  Leon.  He  was 
never  more  than  the  proper  brother-in-law 
to  her.  But  each  time  he  saw  her,  he 
realized  with  growing  despair  that  there 
could  never  be  anyone  else  for  him.  Can 
you  imagine  the  hell  he  went  through  as 
he  met  her  a  thousand  times  at  family 
affairs?  Never  did  he  tell  her,  or  even 
so  much  as  hint,  that  the  love  he  had  had 
for  her  when  they  were  both  childhood 
sweethearts  had  never  died.  Never  did 
he  let  her  know  by  any  sign  the  burden 
of  longing  and  heartache  he  carried. 
Whether  Fanny,  with  a  woman's  own  in- 
born intuition,  guessed  his  secret,  is  more 
than  I  can  say.  But  with  the  strict  moral 
background  of  her  childhood  deeply  im- 
planted in  her  make-up,  she  never  encour- 
aged him. 

Suddenly,  like  a  bolt  out  of  the  blue, 
startling  news  hit  the  Horlick  clan.  Fanny 
and  Leon  were  going  to  be  divorced !  What 
the  reason  was  I  don't  know.  Certainly 
it  isn't  illogical  to  suppose  that  the  great 
difference  in  their  ages  had  something  to 
do  with  it.  Fanny  was  thirty-five.  Leon, 
fifty-two. 

When  Fanny  was  a  free  woman  once 
more,  Harry  for  the  first  time  felt  that 
he  had  a  right  to  tell  her  what  had  been 
in  his  heart  so  long.  I  don't  think  many 
men  could  have  remained  silent  as  long 
as  Harry  or  have  acted  with  such  fine 
decency. 

Now  he  could  come  to  her  and  declare 
his  love,  unashamed  and  without  fear.  Now 
he  could  ask  her  to  be  his  wife.  Don't 
think  Harry  didn't  know  the  talk  and  gos- 
sip that  marriage  would  create.  And  yet, 
in  spite  of  it,  they  were  married. 

And,  as  in  the  ways  of  all  true  love, 
the  course  has  not  been  smooth.  Even 
now.  when  Harry  should  be  completely 
blissful  after  all  those  years  of  almost 
hopeless  waiting,  there  is  a  sharp  thorn 
to  pierce  his  long-delayed  happiness.  His 
brother  is  suing  him  for  alienation  of 
affections.  The  sum  asked  runs  into  big 
figures.  We  who  know  his  story  realize 
what  great  restraint  and  honor  Harry  dis- 
played in  the  whole  matter.  That's  why, 
perhaps,  he  can  hold  his  head  high  in 
the  face  of  this  impending  trouble,  con- 
fident that  he  and  Fanny  will  emerge 
victorious  in  the  end. 

But  tell  me,  could  any  woman  boast  of 
a  finer,  truer  adoration  than  that  which 
Harry  Horlick  showed  to  Fanny,  his  wife?

New  easy  way  adds  solid  flesh 
in  a  few  weeks.  Thousands  gain 
with  amazing  new  double  tonic 

NOW  there's  no  need  to  be  "skinny", 
scrawny  and  unattractive,  and  so 
lose  all  your  chances  of  making  friends. 
Here's  a  new  easy  treatment  that  is  giv- 
ing thousands  solid  flesh  and  alluring 
curves — often  when  they  could  never 
gain  before — in  just  a  few  weeks! 

You  know  that  doctors  for  years  have 
prescribed  yeast  to  build  up  health  for 
rundown  people.  But  now  with  this  new 
discovery  you  can  get  far  greater  tonic 
results  than  with  ordinary  yeast — re- 
gain health,  and  also  put  on  pounds  of 
firm,  good-looking  flesh — and  in  a  far 
shorter  time. 

Thousands  have  been  amazed  at  how 
quickly  they  gained  beauty-bringing 
pounds;  also  clear  skin,  freedom  from 
indigestion  and  constipation,  new  pep. 

Concentrated  7  times 

This  amazing  new  product,  Ironized 
Yeast,  is  made  from  specially  cultured 
brewers'  ale  yeast  imported  from  Eu- 
rope— the  richest  yeast  known — which 
by  a  new  process  is  concentrated  7 
times  —  made  7  times  more  powerful. 

But  that  is  not  all !  This  marvelous,  health- 
building  yeast  is  then  ironized  with  3  spe- 
cial kinds  of  iron  which  strengthen  the 
blood,  add  abounding  pep. 

Day  after  day,  as  you  take  Ironized  Yeast, 
watch  flat  chest  develop,  skinny  limbs  round 
out  attractively,  skin  clear  to  beauty  — 
you're  an  entirely  new  person.

(Continued  from  page  79) 

3  anything — anything !  On  the  way  home, 
e  landed  a  joh.    A  very  tough  job  for 
sensitive  boy.    It  meant  that  he  had  to 
icrifice  his  pride  in  his  music,  the  only 
ling  he  had  reserved  for  himself.  Bill 
as  required  to  stand  in  the  window  of 
cheap  clothing  store  which  was  rigged 
,ith  a  raucous  loud  speaker.    There,  be- 
ore  the  grinning  stares  of  the  curious,  he 
ad  to  strum  his  uke  and  sing. 
It  was  the  first  time  he  had  faced  a  visi- 
>le  audience.   And  what  an  audience!  Bill 
elt  exactly  like  an  animal   in  the  zoo 
vhose  antics  are  very  amusing.    He  felt 
hat  there  should  have  been  a  card  hung 
ittside  which  read  "Please  do  not  feed." 
The  salary   for   this   guaranteed  misery 
.vas  twelve  dollars  a  week.     He  wasn't 
.erv  sorry  when  the  company  turned  to 
mother   form   of   ballyhoo  and   he  was 
forced  to  look  for  something  else. 

Peddling  shoe  polish  was  the  next 
irdeal  the  Fates  assigned  to  him.  In  those 
miles.  Bill  swore  that  he  would  never, 
never  shut  a  door  in  the  face  of  anybody 
who  claimed  to  be  working  his  way 
through  "collitch."  He  didn't  dare  spend 
money  on  lunches,  so  he  went  hungry.  But 
that  hunger  was  nothing  compared  to  his 
longing  for  a  guitar  which  waited  tan- 
talizingly  for  a  buyer  in  the  window  of  a 
music  store  he  passed  each  day.  Finally, 
his  dream  of  possessing  it  came  true.  Bill 
sang  at  a  food  show  for  five  nights  a  week 
and  was  handed  the  most  angelic  looking 
twenty  dollar  bill  ever  turned  out  by  the 
mint.  He  bought  the  guitar.  He  was  hun- 
gry, he  needed  a  new  suit,  new  shoes  and 
a  visit  to  the  dentist,  but  with  the  guitar 
under  his  arm  he  didn't  give  a  darn. 

£"}NE  gentle  Spring  day  in  Roanoke,  op- 
portunity gave  one  of  its  famous 
knocks.  A  friend  of  Bill's  planned  to 
drive  to  Washington  and  Bill  had  a  def- 
inite hunch  that  he  should  go  along.  He 
broke  the  news  to  his  family  with  sudden 
determination. 

The  Huggins'  turned  their  pockets  in- 
side out.  Among  them,  they  mustered 
seven  dollars,  and  Bill  departed  for  Wash- 
ington with  a  few  clean  shirts  and  his 
beloved  guitar. 

With  his  chin  firmly  set,  the  youngster 
known  quite  erroneously  as  "Lazy"  Bill 
Huggins  trekked  up  to  WJSV,  Columbia's 
Washington  station.  There  he  had  one 
contact,  Harold  Gray,  a  young  man  who 
used  to  announce  Bill's  programs  over  the 
Roanoke  station. 

Fate  played  one  of  its  deliberate  stunts 
that  day.  A  program  being  piped  to  the 
station  from  a  remote  point  failed  to  come 
through,  and  Announcer  Gray  rushed  into 
the  studio  with  Bill  on  his  heels  to  pinch- 
hit.  "Fill  in  with  some  songs !"  Gray  com- 
manded. 

Bill  was  dumbfounded.  Minus  his 
guitar,  and  rehearsal,  he  felt  ill-prepared 
to  make  his  first  appearance  on  a  big-time 
station. 

"Sing  your  theme — you  know  that,  any- 
way!' urged  Harold,  striking  the  opening

very  nicely,"  he  said  without  enthusiasm. 

At  last  I  was  a  "Chester  Hale  Girl." 
I  was  so  proud  I  could  scarcely  get  home 
quickly  enough  to  tell  my  mother  I  had 
a  job.  But  she  didn't  like  the  idea.  Father 
frowned  on  it.  And  my  brothers  both 
thought  I  had  gone  crazy.  Finally  I  con- 
vinced them  that  I  was  going  to  make 
good,  though  deep  in  my  heart  I  had 
plenty  of  misgivings. 

My  first  great  disappointment  came  a 
few  weeks  after  we  had  rehearsed  to  the 
point  of  exhaustion.  We  were  all  set  to 
start  on  the  road  when  it  was  discovered 
there  were  too  many  girls  for  the  chorus 
line  in  the  smaller  theatres  out  of  town  for 
which  we  were  booked.  An  assistant  looked 
the  girls  over  carefully,  holding  their  rec- 
ord cards  of  experience  in  his  hand  as  he 
did  so.  Twice  he  glanced  at  my  card,  then 
beckoned  me  out  of  the  line. 

"You're  okay  as  far  as  your  dancing  is 
concerned,"  he  said  kindly.  "But  we've 
got  to  drop  some  of  the  girls.  You've 
been  here  only  a  short  while  so  we  will 


out  page  39) 
have  to  take  you  out.  .  .  ." 

Other  girls,  too,  were  left  behind.  Job- 
less. Disappointed.  But  they  had  had 
this  experience  before  so  they  simply  tossed 
it  off  lightly  and  kept  reminding  them- 
selves that  better  luck  might  come  of  it 
That,  I  have  learned,  is  the  code  of  the 
theatre.  If  one  were  to  take  disappoint- 
ments too  seriously  I  don't  believe  we'd 
have  any  show  people  alive.  They'd  all 
have  died  of  worry  long  ago. 

kk  Y  first  heartbreak  came  that  day.  I 
went  home  and  cried  it  out  alone. 
However,  I  refused  to  let  my  determina- 
tion falter.  It  was  half  pride  with  me  now 
and  half  a  desire  to  show  my  folks  that  I 
wasn't  the  flop  they  believed  me.  So  I 
called  up  one  of  the  girls  I  had  met  in 
the  chorus  and  we  met  downtown  fori 
luncheon. 

Over  our  salad  and  tea  we  talked  about 
future  possibilities.    "I  know  a  Mr.  Pom- 
eroy  who  has  come  to  New  York  to  put  on

prds  on  the  piano.  Bill  pulled  himself 
|;ether  sufficiently  to  sing  "Home"  and 
K.in't  You  Glad?" 

His  baritone  query  "Ain't  You  Glad?" 
i  s  immediately  answered.  The  telephones 
:  WJSV  rang  furiously.  Fans  raved  into 
B  ears  of  the  program  director.  'Was 
11  Huggins  to  appear  regularly? 
The  answer  was  yes.    Without  further 
;dition,  Bill  was  scheduled  for  two  pro- 
,ams    a    week.      He    was  practically 
amped  with  happiness,  but  do  you  think 
V  long  tight  against  poverty  was  over? 

was  not !  For  the  simple  reason  that 
'IPs  sustaining  programs  did  not  pay, 
•d  there  was  still  the  problem  of  keep- 
*  all  six  feet  of  him  alive. 
So  Bill  went  the  rounds  of  Washing- 
n  theatres  asking  for  a  job.  The  man- 
er  of  the  Palace  told  the  anxious-eyed 
ung  man  from  Roanoke  that  he  regretted 
couldn't  use  a  singer,  but  he  needed  an 
her.  Bill  stepped  into  a  uniform. 
His  hours  were  10  a.  m.  to  10  p.  m. 
ich  morning  he  rose  at  seven  to  re- 
•arse  songs.  Each  evening  he  took  his  din- 
r  hour  off  to  sing  over  WJSV.  A  deep 
nviction  that  he  was  nearing  success 
pt  him  going.  Some  nights  he  procured 
.tra  jobs,  and  strummed  in  obscure  clubs 
om  midnight  to  dawn  on  his  guitar. 

HEX  came  a  bid  which  indirectly  led 
to  Bill's  entree  on  the  Columbia  net- 
>rk.  The  Hangar  Club  hired  him  for  a 
.o  weeks'  personal  appearance.  It  was 
different  reception  than  Bill  got  singing 

the  window  of  the  clothing  store.  He 
as  what,  in  the  show  business,  is  termed 

"sensation."  And  one  night  Jean  Sar- 
:nt  and  her  manager  came  to  hear  him. 
Jean  sent  a  rare  thrill  tingling  up  and 
ma  Bill's  spine  when  she  called  him 
errific."  But  he  had  no  idea  what  would 
.olve  from  the  visit,  or  which  way  he 
ould  turn  when  the  two  weeks'  at  the 
angar  Club  drew  to  a  close. 
What  happened  was  that  a  telegram 
nded  on  the  desk  of  the  program  direc- 
>r  at  WJSV.  It  was  from  Jean  Sar- 
:nt's  manager  and  read  "WOULD  LIKE 
OY  I  HEARD  AT  HANGAR  CLUB 
O  COME  TO  NEW  YORK  FOR 
.EDITION"." 


Once  again  pockets  were  turned  inside- 
out  so  that  Bill  could  take  another  step 
in  his  career.  His  friends  at  WJSV  gen- 
erously collected  enough  money  for  a 
round  trip  ticket,  and  Bill,  somewhat 
dazed  but  suffused  with  excitement,  board- 
ed the  train  for  New  York.  WJSV  wired 
WABC  to  extend  even.'  courtesy  possible 
to  their  protege. 

When  Bill  stepped  off  the  train  in  New 
York  he  strolled  into  a  dream  from  which 
he  has  not  yet  extricated  himself ! 

It  seemed  unreal  that  he,  Bill  Huggins,  j 
had  two  auditions  occurring  in  one  day — 
first  at  Columbia — then  for  Jean's  man- 
ager. 

Before  the  CBS  mike.  Bill  was  pre- 
sented to  the  invisible  "Gentlemen  of  the 
Audition  Room."  He  plucked  on  his  | 
guitar  the  reassuring  first  bars  of  "Home." 
Bill  was  going  strong  on  the  next  number 
when  the  production  man  called  him. 

"Ralph  Wonders  wants  to  see  you,"  he 
said,  .unsmilingly.  Bill's  heart  thumped 
violently,  then  seemed  to  stop.  He  was 
certain  he  had  failed.  He  felt,  he  recalls, 
just  like  "Lyin'  down  and  dyin'."  Con- 
fused, he  blindly  snatched  his  guitar  in  one 
hand,  his  guitar  case  in  another,  and 
stumbled  into  the  executive's  office  in  the 
Artist's  Bureau.  He  was  so  obviously  ter- 
rified that  the  men  who  sat  around  Ralph 
Wonder's  office  burst  into  laughter. 

"Take  it  easy,  kid,"  Ralph  said,  removing 
a  cigar  from  his  mouth.  "We  can  use 
you." 

Bill  collapsed  forthwith  into  a  chair.  A 
contract  waved  before  his  eyes  revived 
him. 

Then  came  two  spots  a  week  on  the  net- 
work.  B'IPs  victory  is  complete — almost. 
True,  some  personal  luxuries  are  denied 
him  still.  He  hasn't  any  money  to  spend 
on  girls  or  amusement  like  the  other  young 
blades  on  Broadway,  for  his  thoughts  are 
crowded  with  selfless  dreams  of  sending 
the  kid  brothers  to  college.  But  the  try- 
ing business  of  making  last  year's  suit  do 
another  year  is  over  now !  And  his  new  con- 
tract with  Enoc  Light  shows  more  promise. 

After  as  tough  a  climb  to  success  as 
Bill  has  had,  he  has  a  nerve  using  as  his 
theme  "I  Ain't  Lazy,  I'm  Just  Dreaming," 
don't  vou  think?

band.  To  work  together.  To  practise  to- 
gether. To  play  together.  To  dream  to- 
gether.   Then,  the  same  as  now. 

One  thing  is  certain.  If  Ramona  hadn't 
kept  on  playing  in  the  band  she  would 
have  been  playing  the  piano  anyway.  For 
ever  since  she  was  a  little  thing,  even 
when  she  had  to  reach  for  the  keyboard, 
the  piano  for  her  has  been  the  very  axis 
of  her  existence. 

When  Ramona  was  two  years  old  her 
family  lived  in  Kentucky.  There  they 
had  the  first  floor  of  a  two- family  house. 
Upstairs  there  was  a  little  girl  named 
Alice,  who  was  eight  years  old  and  took 
piano  lessons.  While  she  practised  with 
her  teacher  Ramona  used  to  sit  on  the 
slippery  edge  of  a  horsehair  chair,  still 
as  a  mouse,  absorbed  in  every  sound  which 
emanated  from  the  room  above  her.  When 
at  last  all  sounds  had  ceased  she  used  to 
toddle  over  to  the  piano,  raise  herself  on 
tip-toe,  and,  just  able  to  reach  the  key- 
board, play  all  she  had  heard. 

"I  wonder,"  Alice's  mother  asked  Ra- 
mona's  mother  one  day,  "if  you  could  stop 
Ramona  from  playing  everything  my  Alice 
plays?  Alice  is  in  tears  about  it.  She 
threatens  to  give  up  her  lessons." 

nAMONA'S  mother  did  her  best.  So 
did  Ramona's  grandmother.  But  they 
got  exactly  nowhere.  It  was  impossible  to 
keep  Ramona  away  from  the  piano.  And 
it  was  impossible  to  keep  her  from  play- 
ing the  scales,  exercises  and  simple  little 
pieces  she  heard  Alice  play. 

Finally  Alice  gave  up  her  lessons,  as 
she  had  insisted  she  would.  So  Ramona's 
musical  education  came  to  a  halt,  too.  It 
continued  again,  however,  with  a  private 
teacher  soon  after.  Her  grandmother  saw 
to  that  for  as  a  little  girl  she  had  wanted 
to  play  the  piano.  She  had  run  errands  for 
the  neighborhood  music  teacher  and  taken 
care  of  her  baby,  because  lessons  had  been 
promised  as  a  reward.  But  those  lessons 
never  materialized  and  as  long  as  the 
years  in  between  had  been.  Ramona's 
grandmother  had  remembered  her  frus- 
tration. So  she  saw  to  it  that  her  grand- 
daughter was  spared  a  similar  experi- 
ence. 

When  Ramona  grew  older  she  was  sent 
to  a  convent.  There  the  hours  she  spent 
in  the  music  room,  a  quiet  nun  sitting  be- 
side her  at  the  piano,  number  among  the 
most  satisfying  she  ever  has  known. 

It  was  after  Ramona  and  Howard 
Davies  completed  their  Don  Bestor  en- 
gagement and  returned  to  radio  work  that 
she  sang  for  the  first  time,  because  she 
was  horrified  at  the  piano  upon  which  she 
was  asked  to  play  for  an  audition.  "I'll 
never  make  the  grade  on  that  old  board," 
she  told  Howard.  She  struck  a  few  notes, 
tentatively,  and  proceeded  at  once  to  sing, 
in  order  to  drown  out  the  piano  as  much 
as  possible. 

She  had  had  no  voice  instruction.  And 
has  had  none  since,  incidentally.  Xever 
before  in  her  life  had  she  sung  except  at 
parties  gathered  around  the  piano,  the  way 
everyone  does. 

When  Ramona  was  signed  to  a  contract 
as  a  singer  as  well  as  a  pianist,  she  nearly 
dropped  dead.  But  you  can't  get  Howard 
Davies  to  admit  that  he  was  in  the  least 
surprised.  If  she  should  suddenly  kiss 
him  goodbye  and  start  out  for  the  moon, 
he  would  be  quite  sure  she  would  get 


there,  for  Ik's  seen  her  accomplish  othe 
feats  which  to  a  musician  like  himsel 
seem  no  less  amazing. 

It  was  while  Ramona  was  with  th; 
Cincinnati  broadcasting  station,  appcarin 
in  some  capacity  in  practically  every  pr< 
gram,  that  Paul  Whiteman  heard  her  ar. 
telephoned  to  ask  her  to  dine  with  Ma 
garet  Whiteman  and  himself  the  follov 
ing  evening. 

After  dinner  they  sat  over  coffee  ar 
cigarettes.  "I  want  you  to  come  wit 
me,"  Paul  told  Ramona.  "But  .  . 
well  .  .  ."  He  looked  at  her  appraising] 
She  weighed  one  hundred  and  seventy-fr 
pounds.  "Well,  to  be  frank,  I  don't  wa 
so  much  of  you. 

"I'll  tell  you  what  we'll  do.  Six  wee 
from  tonight  I'll  call  you  up.  What  ha 
pens  after  that  will  rest  with  you  I" 

"Fair  enough !"  Ramona  agreed.

CHE  was.  she  knew,  far  too  heavy.  A 
^  she  realized  that  appearances  must  coi  J 
for  a  great  deal  if  you  are  to  play  eve 
night  in  the  smartest  dining  room  of 
hotel  like  the  New  York  Biltmore. 

Ramona  dieted.  There  was,  of  cour 
a  chance  Whiteman  would  forget  all  abf 
her  or  change  his  mind.  But  there  was 
much  better  chance  that  he  would  call 
he  said  he  would.  At  any  rate  she  det 
mined  to  be  ready. 

Six  weeks  later  to  the  night,  the  Dav 
telephone    rang.     Howard  answered 
"Long  distance !"   He  beckoned  Ramo 
"Paul  Whiteman  calling!" 

Ramona  flew  to  the  'phone.  "Hel 
Hello  1"   she  cried   into   the  mouth] 
"Oh,  Hello!  Hello!" 

"Ramona,"  came  Paul  Whiteman's  vo:, 
"how  much  do  you  weigh?" 

"One  hundred  and  fifty  pounds," 
told  him.  "And  I'm  starting  to  lose 
teen  pounds  more." 

"Get  packed,"  he  said.  "Buy  your  tick  5 
for  New  York.  You're  hired.  I'll  h  e 
my  manager  draw  up  your  contract." 

That  was  over  two  years  ago.  E  r 
since  Ramona  has  played  in  the  Wh  - 
man  Band.  At  the  Biltmore  every  nil-

Milwaukee  sits  up  until  after  two  o'clk 
in  the  morning  and  doesn't  even  nod  o  e, 
it's  something. 

But  then  Ramona's  something.  Nothg. 
however,  compared  to  what  she  is  der- 
mined  to  be.  Right  now  she  feels  It 
for  her  the  next  step  is  the  stage. 

"Ramona,"  according  to  Howard  Da '.s 
"has  a  strange  habit  of  seeing  herself  3- 
ing  things,  possessing  things  before  K 
actually  has  them. 

"However,"  he  says,  "I  give  no  psy-k 
power  the  credit  for  her  success.  She  as 
unflagging  determination.  And  she's  ot

I  could. 

was  after  eight  when  we  arrived  at 
the  Yendome.  This  is  the  place  where 
-'  best  people  of  Hollywood  come  to 
ie  and  dance.  In  fact,  the  first 
uple  I  saw  when  I  came  in  were  the  in- 
parable  and  devoted  Bebe  Daniels  and 
n  Lyon.  There  were  others  too,  but 
!  hardly  paid  any  attention  to  anyone 


else  from  the  moment  we  sat  down.  It 
wasn't  an  intimate  place  certainly,  but 
we  just  had  so  much  to  talk  about. 

Suddenly  it  was  two  o'clock  in  the 
morning.  Where  the  time  had  gone,  I 
didn't  know.  Xor  did  Lanny?  And  not 
even  one  word  said  about  the  reason  I 
came  to  Hollywood. 

"Tell  me,  Lanny,"  I  said  glancing  about 
the  Yendome,  "would  you  like  to  be  like 
these  stars?  Live  in  Hollywood  all  the 
time?  Marry  and  settle  down  here?  Be 
part  of  its  social  life?" 

Lanny  grinned.  "What  is  this,  the  in- 
terview?" he  asked. 

"It  is,"  I  said  firmly,  "and  I'm  going  to 
make  you  talk  even  if  it's  only  one  sen- 
tence each  day  I'm  here." 

"So  let's  have  another  cup  of  coffee," 
Lanny  hummed  softly,  signalling  the 
waiter. 

I  frowned. 

"Oh  all  right."  Lanny  said  hastily. 
"The  answer  is,  I  don't  know.  I'd  like 
to  be  like  some  stars  here.  Perhaps  like 
Ben  and  Bebe.  Would  you  like  to  live 
here.  Mary  Lou?" 

"Right  now,  I  think,  forever,"  I  an- 
swered. 

And  that  was  all  I  was  able  to  find  out 
from  him  that  night. 

I  slept  late  the  next  morning  and  I 
didn't  see  Lanny  until  we  met  for  lunch 
at  the  Brown  Derby.  Here,  I  reflected  as 
we  sat  down  in  a  booth,  is  the  place  to 
get  him  to  talk.    So  nice  and  intimate. 

Lanny  talked  all  right.  But  all  he'd 
do  was  ask  me  questions  about  the  folks 
on  Show  Boat.  How  was  Cap'n  Henry. 
And  why  didn't  I  bring  Mrs.  Jamieson 
along  so  he'd  have  some  decent  coffee.  And 
he'd  bought  a  little  present  for  her,  but  he 
wouldn't  tell  me  what  it  was. 

THIS  life  was  lovely.  I  had  always 
been  under  the  impression  that  all 
the  movie  celebrities  were  a  busy  folk. 
They  are.  too.  But  lots  of  them  who 
came  into  the  Brown  Derby  that  day  just 
seemed  to  want  to  talk  and  talk.  Which 
was  exactly  what  we'd  like  to  have  done, 
except  that  we  had  our  Show  Boat  re- 
hearsal that  afternoon. 

"You're  coming  over  to  the  Paramount 
lot  early  tomorrow  morning  and  see  me 
work,"  Lanny  told  me  as  we  left  re- 
hearsal. 

It  was  certainly  surprising  to  see  how- 
early  the  stars  are  up  and  about.  Lanny 
took  me  down  the  little  street  inside  the 
lot  to  one  of  the  small  bungalows  which 
lined  it.  We  went  inside.  It  was  charm- 
ing. In  fact  everything  one  could  wish 
for  in  a  cottage  for  two.  I  thought  how- 
many  couples  would  be  content  to  live 
their  whole  lives  in  a  tiny  place  like  this. 

In  the  studio,  Lanny  led  me  to  a  can-

vas  chair.  On  the  back  was  painted, 
"Lanny  Ross."  I  sat  and  watched  him 
work.  It's  hard  work,  don't  you  think  for 
a  minute  it  isn't.  But  Lanny  sang  as  I 
think  I  never  heard  him  sing  before. 

He  was  very  tired  Friday.  I  could 
see  that  so  much  work  was  becoming  a  bit 
of  a  strain  on  him.  Really  I  didn't  dare 
press ■  him  for  the  interview  then.  In 
fact  I  ordered  him  to  go  and  rest  and 
promised  to  forget  the  interview  until  Mon- 
day.   I'd  have  to  get  the  story  then. 

Lanny  called  for  me  in  his  car  early 
Monday  morning. 

"We're  going  to  the  Santa  Monica 
Beach  Club  today,"  he  said  as  he 
started.  "How  about  spending  the  day 
there.    You  can  swim,  lie  in  the  sun,  rest." 

The  idea  really  thrilled  me.  To  go  to 
Santa  Monica  to  one  of  the  most  exclu- 
sive beach  clubs  for  the  Hollywood  celeb- 
rities. 

We  were  silent  as  we  fled  along  the 
broad  highway.  The  country  was  beau- 
tiful. Hibiscus  was  everywhere.  The 
sunshine  was  clean  and  bright.  Every- 
thing looked  as  though  nature  had  sud- 
denly decided  to  do  a  great  job  of  well- 
ordered  landscape  gardening.  The  low 
hills  were  gorgeously  purple.  They 
looked  like  the  creation  of  some  super 
set  designer. 

For  a  moment  we  paused  on  the  great 
verandah  of  the  club  to  look  out  at  the 
ocean.  Soft  white  lines  of  surf  curled  in 
on  the  blue,  blue  sea.  As  we  turned  to  go 
to  our  dressing  rooms,  a  smart,  mannishly 
tailored  woman  wearing  dark  glasses 
passed  us.  Walking  beside  her  was  a  nine 
or  ten-year-old  blonde  girl.  It  was  from 
her  face  that  I  knew  who  the  woman  was. 
Marlene  Dietrich.  The  little  daughter 
looks  very  much  like  her. 

AS  I  sat  under  the  beach  umbrella 
waiting  for  Lanny,  I  amused  myself 
trying  to  pick  out  some  of  the  movie 
idols.  Many  of  them  were  wearing  dark 
glasses.  It  wasn't  easy.  I  had  passed 
Joan  Crawford  and  Franchot  Tone  on  the 
way  down  from  my  dressing  room.  A 
moment  later  I  realized  luscious  Lupe 
must  be  somewhere  about,  for  I  had  seen 
Johnny  Weissmuller  trot  down  the  beach 
and  plunge  his  magnificent  shoulders  into 
the  surf. 

Then   Lanny  came   striding  down  the 


beach  to  me.  Tall,  bronzed  and  w< 
formed,  he  made  a  handsome  figure.  T 
sun  caught  little  lights  in  his  hair.  Su 
denly,  I  realized  I  had  [licked  out  anotl 
movie  star  on  the  beach.  It  seeir 
strange.  Our  own  Lanny  of  the  "Sh 
Boat"  was  really  a  movie  celebrity. 

We  spent  a  glorious  day.  We  sua 
We  lay  in  the  sun.  We  dined  in  i 
great  glassed  dining  room  of  the  ci 
that  looks  out  over  the  sea.  In  fact 
was  so  beautiful  that  even  I  forgot  ab 
the  story. 

It  really  was  terrible  the  way  the  ti 
flew.  Of  course  I  don't  mean  really  | 
rible.  But  I  had  come  out  to  broad' 
with  Lanny  and  to  get  a  story  about  i 
for  RADIO  STARS,  and  whatever  in 
world  was  I  going  to  tell  the  editor  i 
didn't  get  it?  And  my  Columbia  sp 
sors  had  been  so  nice  to  give  me  a  le; 

The  next  Thursday  night,  the  day 
fore  I  was  to  leave,  we  went  for  a  1 
drive  along  the  coast.  We  were  bum 
up.  These  California  evenings  are  ! 
prisingly  cool,  after  the  warmth  of 
day.  We  drove  silently  for  miles.  I  s 
moned  all  the  seriousness  I  could. 

"Tell  me,  Mr.  Ross,"  I  said,  "are 
going  to  devote  your  life  to  the  film 
do  you  intend  to  pursue  your  radio 
reer  ?" 

"Well  now,"  he  said,  "you  take 
films.  They're  one  of  the  greatest 
diums  of  entertainment.  But  on 
other  hand,  isn't  radio  greater?  It 
into  so  many  homes — and  hearts." 

"Really,  Lanny,  you're  so  exaspera 
sometimes.  It's  as  hard  to  get  a  statet 
out  of  you  as  out  of  Doug  Fairbank: 
his  divorce." 

"No,  Mary  Lou,"  he  answered,  "ui 
neath   it   all.    I'm   really  serious, 
know  how  fond  I  am  of  Cap'n  Henry 
Mrs    Jamieson  and  Tiny  Ruffner  and 
rad   and   those   dawgone,   sho'  'nuf 
cals  Molasses  'n'  January  and  all  the 
And  all  the  listeners  who  are  so  fon 
us.    And  especially  you,  Mary  Lou." 

"Lanny,  please,  I'm  trying  to  inter 
you." 

But  I  couldn't  get  any  more  out  of 
Perhaps  I'm  not  a  good  reporter, 
haps  I  should  give  up  the  ambitio 
write  and  stick  to  my  singing  on

Kings  Like  It  Hot 


(Continued  from  page  53) 


when  he  hit  Paris  for  a  wicked  European 
slicker  had  stolen  his  drums  on  the  way 
from  Dieppe  to  Paris. 

When  he  arrived  back  in  this  country 
last  January  he  had  both  NBC  and  Colum- 
bia bidding  for  his  services.  "The  funny 
part  of  it  is,"  he  said,  "that  back  in  1924 
I  had  no  more  idea  of  playing  for  kings 
and  duchesses  than  I  had  of  dropping  in 
on  the  Vanderbilts  for  Sunday  morning 
waffles." 

Drums  are  what  did  it.  He  had  gone  to 
London  with  Paul  Whiteman's  band  and, 
when  the  engagement  was  over,  decided  to 
revisit  Paris  which  he  had  seen  during  the 
war. 


It  must  have  been  something  he 
for  Ludwig  became  very,  very  sick  c 
ing  the  English  Channel.  As  the 
neared  Dieppe  a  sympathetic  lady  and 
tleman  solicitously  offered  him  a  gk 
water.  The  next  morning  Ludwig  i 
in  the  picturesque  Place  de  la  Mad 
in  Paris  minus  his  gold-mounted  bass 
and  $500.  "They  were  such  a  nice  c 
too,"  Ludwig  told  the  French  police 
the  French  police  merely  shrugged 
shoulders.  "You  are  an  American 
therefore  you  are  crazy,"  they  ret 
happily. 

That  was  Gluskin's  introducti 
Europe. 


RADIO  STARS 


£"}XLY  once  in  the  following  ten  years 
did  he  ever  have  anything  to  do  with 
European  police.  It  was  in  Venice  when 
he  reported  the  loss  of  a  tiny  pin.  "But 
you  couldn't  have  lost  it!"  the  official  ex- 
claimed incredulously. 

It  was  then  that  Ludwig  delivered  his 
epic :  "I  couldn't  ?  Say,  I  lost  a  hass 
drum  once !" 

This,  of  course,  was  no  way  to  start 
in  to  meet  royalty,  but  as  Gluskin  said, 
reaching  for  his  third  bottle  of  beer,  "you 
never  can  tell  whom  you're  going  to  run 
into  these  days. 

"I  hung  around  Paris  until  I  landed  a 
job  playing  drums  in  a  French  orchestra 
at  the  Perroquet.  The  leader  of  the  band 
was  a  Frenchman  who  had  a  habit  of  not 
showing  up  for  work,  so  I  would  lead  the 
band. 

''One  night  Albert,  the  maitre  de  hotel, 
asked  me  why  I  didn't  organize  my  own 
band.  I  did,  and  the  following  summer  I 
went  to  play  at  Le  Touquet,  the  Channel 
resort  frequently  visited  by  English  royalty, 
where  Albert  had  a  job  at  the  new  Royal 
Picardy  Hotel." 

A  LTHOUGH  young  Ludwig  didn't 
know  it  at  the  time,  Fate,  in  the  form 
of  Albert,  had  taken  him  firmly  by  the 
hand  and  was  leading  him  on  to  Destiny. 
"I  had  been  there  a  week,"  Gluskin  re- 
lates, "when,  on  a  Saturday  night,  Albert 
came  skating  across  the  ballroom  floor,  his 
face  lit  up  like  a  new  moon  and  his  eyes 
turned  up  to  the  ceiling  as  if  he  had 
caught  a  celestial  vision.  We  were  play- 
ing for  a  party  given  by  Mrs.  Robert 
Sweeney,  the  American  hostess,  and  I  was 
in  the  middle  of  'Ain't  We  Got  Fun?'" 

Albert  pulled  the  young  American  band 
leader  down  to  him  and  exclaimed :  "Don't 
look  around.  And  don't  stop  playing.  His 
royal  highness,  the  Prince  of  Wales,  is  on 
the  floor!" 

But  let  Gluskin  tell  the  rest  of  it:  "So 
I,  of  course,  like  a  dummy,  looked  around 
and  sure  enough  there  was  the  Prince  of 
Wales  hoofing  it  with  an  American  girl. 
And  boy,  was  he  hot! 

"Albert  pulled  desperately  on  my  sleeve 
and  I  signaled  the  boys  to  keep  on  play- 
ing as  long  as  they  could  hold  out." 

"It  is  the  fashion,"  Albert  told  him, 
"never  to  stop  playing  while  the  Prince 
is  on  the  floor." 

"If  the  Prince  can  hold  out,  so  can  we," 
Glu>kin  shot  back. 

LUDWIG  chuckled.  "From  th  at  time  on, 
it  became  a  marathon.  We  swung  into 
playing  'On  the  Alamo,'  which  was  popu- 
lar at  the  time  and  the  Prince  requested 
it  again  and  again.  He  was  on  the  floor 
an  hour  and  a  half  and  wore  out  three 
girls,  all  Americans.  He's  a  swell  dancer, 
boyish  and  likeable  and  we  amused  our- 
selves by  stepping  up  the  time  a  bit  just 
to  see  him  hop." 

That  was  a  momentous  night  for  Glus- 
kin. But  the  following  day  was  even  more 
exciting.  A  royal  "command"  came  from 
the,  Prince  to  follow  him  to  London  and 
play  for  him  there. 

"He  liked  our  music  so  well  that  we 
played  for  him  often,"  Gluskin  said.  "He's 
crazy  about  dancing,  and  of  all  European 
royalty  I  consider  him  the  best.  He's 
young  and  modern  and  steps  more  like  an 
American  Harvard  boy  than  a  European." 


The  success  of  Gluskin  and  his  music 
with  the  Prince  of  Wales  made  the  band 
overnight  the  most  sought  after  represen- 
tative of  jazz  music  in  Europe.  Society 
clamored  for  it  and  it  became  American 
Exhibit  A  before  royalty. 

"The  kings  and  the  princes  like  it  hot. 
We  found  that  out  soon  enough,"  Ludwig 
chuckled.  "I  thought  they  would  go  for 
the  old,  more  stately  European  ran.  :c,  but 
when  the  Prince  of  Wales  all  but  Allowed 
us  around  Europe ;  and  when  King  Al- 
phonse  dropped  in  unexpectedly  at  rehear- 
sal at  the  Ritz  in  Paris  and  remained  to 
hoof  it  the  rest  of  the  night ;  and  when 
Crown  Prince  Wilhelm  went  nuts  over 
'Sonny  Boy'  in  Berlin,  while  President  Von 
Hindenberg  sat  by  and  chuckled,  I  began 
to  figure  I  was  all  wrong. 

"And  here's  the  payoff,"  he  added.  "When 
I  came  back  to  America  and  had  auditions 
at  NBC  and  Columbia  I  gave  them  the 
best  of  the  American  music  I  had  given 
royalty.  And  was  there  a  squawk !  They 
wanted  European  music.  So  here  I  am 
playing  continental  music  in  America." 

After  London,  then  Paris,  Nice,  Cannes, 
Biarritz,  Monte  Carlo,  Berlin,  Vienna. 
Munich,  Amsterdam,  Budapest  and  Rome 
called  for  Gluskin  and  his  band.  "The 
idea  began  to  get  around  that  we  were 
hot,  and  American  hostesses,  anxious  to 
show  off  American  jazz  to  distinguished 
European  guests,  gave  us  plenty  of  work." 

XE  afternoon  at  the  Ritz  in  Paris. 
Gluskin  was  rehearsing  his  band  when 
a  dark,  suave,  keen-faced  gentleman  with 
a  little  black  mustache  paused  at  the 
door  of  the  ballroom  to  listen.  He  stood 
tapping  his  foot  on  the  floor,  his  dark  eyes 
glowing  with  appreciation  of  the  primitive 
jazz  music. 

"I  noticed  him  standing  there,"  Gluskin 
relates,  "and  he  came  over  and  intro- 
duced himself.  It  was  King  Alphonse  of 
Spain.  I've  never  met  a  sweller  guy.  He 
was  worldly  and  sophisticated,  but  quite 
affable  and  democratic — all  big  men  are 
like  that,  kings  or  what  have  you?  He 
knew  his  music,  too,  and  explained  that 
he  was  interested  in  the  new  American 
primitive  music  because  Spain  was  a  primi- 
tive country.  So  he  felt  that  there  was  an 
affinity  between  the  rhythms  blended  into 
American  life  from  Africa  and  the  folk 
music  of  Spain,  stemming  from  the  early 
Moors.  During  the  whole  rehearsal  he 
stayed  around  and  then  returned  that  night 
to  dance  until  morning. 

The  next  day  came  a  summons  to  play 
at  a  private  party  given  for  the  Duke  and 
Duchess  of  York.  "We  didn't  know  what 
to  expect,  and  besides,  I  didn't  feel  any 
too  good  anyway,"  Gluskin  admitted.  "The 
maitre  de  hotel  came  to  me  very  solemnly 
before  the  party  and  told  me  that  we  all 
must  wear  evening  dress,  and  above  all. 
not  pay  attention  to  royalty  while  they 
were  dancing.    It  might  embarrass  them. 

T  HAT  was  all  right  with  us,  until  the 
Prince  of  Wales  and  the  Prince  of 
Monaco  walked  in  wearing  slacks  and  old 
polo  shirts  and  the  King  of  Sweden  came 
in  ducks.    Boy,  was  it  hot ! 

"The  Duke  and  Duchess  of  York  were 
formal,  of  course,  and  they  danced  that 
way.  No  pep.  Just  like  you'd  imagine 
King  George  and  Queen  Mary  doing  a 
waltz.    We  played  some  hot  numbers  and

Gray  Hair 

Best  Remedy  is  Made  At  Home 

You  can  now  make  at  home  a  better  gray 
hair  remedy  than  you  can  buy  by  following 
this  simple  recipe:  To  half  pint  of  water  add 
one  ounce  bay  rum,  a  small  box  of  Barbo 
Compound  and  one-fourth  ounce  of  glycerine. 
Any  druggist  can  put  this  up  or  you  can  mix 
it  yourself  at  very  little  cost.  Apply  to  the  hair 
twice  aweek  until  the  desired  shade  is  obtained. 

Barbo  imparts  color  to  streaked,  faded  or 
gray  hair,  making  it  soft  and  glossy.  It  will 
not  color  the  scalp,  is  not  sticky  or  greasy 
and  does  not  rub  off.

the  younger  members  of  the  party  cut 
loose  and  had  a  good  time. 

"The  King  of  Sweden  didn't  dance,  hut 
he  liked  our  music — especially  'If  You 
Knew  Susie,  Like  I  Know  Susie.'  We 
played  it  for  him  later  at  Stockholm. 

"The  Duke  of  Connaught,  who  dropped 
in  that  night  and  was  present  at  other 
dances,  became  a  jazz  addict.  He  was  too 
old  to  dance,  but  he  loved  the  rhythms. 
I  would  watch  his  feet  tapping  on  the  floor 
and  play  the  hottest  things  I  could  find. 
It  made  a  young  man  out  of  him!" 

Gluskin  paused  and  reached  for  his 
beer.  "As  a  matter  of  fact,"  he  com- 
mented, "these  kings  were  starved  for  hot 
stuff,  but  they  dared  not  admit  it.  They 
had  to  behave,  but  I  could  see.  To  them, 
American  jazz  was  the  new  thing  of  the 
world  and  they  were  anxious  to  get  it. 

"Why,  old  King  Manuel  of  Portugal 
used  to  come  in  and  sit  around  like  a  tired 
business  man  at  the  Follies.  If  I  had  had 
a  floor  show  with  a  dozen  pretty  girls,  I 
could  have  started  a  revolution." 

Kings  are  far  too  polite  to  show  any 
public  disapproval  of  music,  Gluskin  re- 
vealed. Nor  do  they  applaud.  If  they 
don't  like  you,  the  next  day  a  government 
man  comes  around  and  finds  something  the 
matter  with  your  papers. 

Little  Ludwig  had  no  trouble,  however. 
He  was  selected  to  open  the  famous  UFA 
movie  palace  in  Berlin,  a  signal  honor  and 


a  concession  to  all   American  musicians. 

"Crown  Prince  Wilhelm  was  funny,"  he 
said.  "He  was  second  to  enter  the  royal 
box  behind  President  Von  Hindenberg 
Most  of  the  royal  family  was  present.  I 
gave  them  everything  I  had  for  I  was  in 
the  greatest  music-loving  nation  in  Europe 
— and  they  loved  it." 

In  Copenhagen,  Gluskin  played  for  the 
King  of  Denmark,  who,  he  declares,  is  the 
livest  of  monarchs  still  warming  a  throne. 
"Those  northern  people  are  nearest  to  us 
in  temperament.  They  may  not  quite  un- 
derstand American  music,  but  they  like  us. 
Of  all  Europe,  our  music  goes  best  in 
Germany  and,  surprisingly  enough,  in  Hol- 
land. The  Dutch  like  it  hot,  too.  They'd 
tear  down  their  dykes  for  Cab  Calloway 
or  Duke  Ellington  !" 

Ludwig  looked  into  his  empty  beer  glass 
reflectively.  "Kings  are  no  different  than 
other  people.  They  step  out  just  about 
like  the  business  man  over  here,  maybe 
with  a  little  more  trapping.  But  if  any- 
thing, I  think  they're  hotter  than  the 
American  business  man.  It  may  be  some- 
thing in  their  blood,  but  it  seems  to  me 
that  they  react  quicker  to  jazz  music. 
They're  more  or  less  like  the  young  peo- 
ple over  here.  They've  got  rhythms.  And 
don't  think  because  some  of  them  are  old. 
and  just  sit  on  a  throne,  that  they're  all 
through !  Boy,  you  don't  know  nothing, 
Kings  like  it  hot." 


Babies  Wanted

little  stranger  who  may  be  exactly  oppo- 
site them  in  disposition.  Do  they  accept 
her  traits  and  love  her  just  the  same?  No, 
they  begin  to  make  her  over.  And  you 
know  what  happens  when  you  try  to  change 
a  child  completely,  how  you  bring  every- 
thing bad  out  and  discard  the  good. 
Thwarted  from  becoming  what  Nature  in- 
tended, the  child  grows  into  a  rebellious, 
heart-broken,  wretched  misfit." 

You've  heard  how  Jack  Pearl,  with  a 
quarter  of  a  million  dollars,  has  never  been 
able  to  get  the  one  thing  out  of  life  he 
wants.  The  dreams  of  success  he  and  his 
pretty  wife,  Winifred  Desbrough,  labored 
for  were  fulfilled,  but  the  dreams  that  every 
couple  has  of  children  and  a  home  were 
swept  away. 

Now  Jack  Pearl  is  going  to  adopt  two 
children,  a  boy  of  about  eight  months  and 
a  little  girl.  The  Cradle  is  trying  to  fill 
his  order.  When  Mrs.  Pearl  comes  back 
from  Europe  late  in  October,  the  baby  or 
babies  should  be  ready  for  delivery.  He'd 
like  the  boy  first. 

"All  we  ask,"  Jack  told  me,  "is  that  the 
babies  be  normally  intelligent.  I  don't  care 
what  they  look  like.  They  can  be  ugly 
and  puny  and  underweight.  I'm  not  a 
beauty  myself.  We  want  to  get  babies 
who  need  us,  for  dimpled  darlings  can 
find  some  one  to  take  care  of  them  soon 
enough.  Lots  of  folks,  I  know,  feel  that 
the  babies  have  got  to  come  of  married 
parents,  but  our  babies  can  be  love-children. 
Doctors,  you  know,  say  they  are  usually 
the  cream  of  the  crop." 

As  for  the  risk  he's  taking,  Jack  Pearl 
pooh-hoos   it.     Everything   that's  worth- 


while in  life  is  a  r:>k,"  he  says. 
"When-  you  adopt  a  baby  you  pick  an 
almost  sure  winner,  for  he  begins  paying 
heavy  dividends  in  love  and  joy  the  minute 
you  pick  him  up.  Within  a  few  years 
your  investment  has  tripled  and  multiplied 
many  times  in  value,  and  the  older  you 
become  the  more  valuable  he  grows. 

The  more  you  talk  to  radio  stars  the 
more  convinced  you  become  they  expect 
to  corner  the  baby  market  this  fall. 

"The  way  I  look  at  it,"  Jack  Denny  told 
me,  "is  that  you've  got  to  take  a  chance 
in  everything,  so  why  balk  at  adopting  a 
youngster?  Lots  of  people  who  adopt 
them  are  disappointed,  I  know,  but  then 
there  are  an  equal  number  of  parents  who 
are  disappointed  in  their  own  offspring. 

"My  mother  and  dad  had  doubts  of  how 
I'd  turn  out  and  there  were  times  when 
they  felt  sure  I  was  headed  for  the  dogs. 
Your  mother  probably  worried  about  you. 
For  seven  years  Merle  and  I  have  been 
married  and  we  haven't  any  children. 
We're  not  waiting  any  longer  for  the  stork. 
Right  now  Merle  is  out  looking  for  a  little 
boy  to  adopt  and  our  friends  are  all  in- 
quiring around  for  us." 

The  Dennys  want  a  boy  about  a  year 
old,  with  blond  hair  and  blue  eyes,  like 
Mrs.  Denny's.  No  foundling  or  illegiti- 
mate youngsters  for  them.  Its  parents 
have  to  be  upright,  honest  people  so  that 
when  the  boy  gets  to  be  about  ten,  and 
they  explain  that  he  is  adopted,  he  will 
have  nothing  to  be  ashamed  of  in  his 
heredity. 

What  of  the  radio  stars  who  have 
already  adopted  children?    How  do  they 


RADIO  STARS 


feel  about  the  whole  perplexing  matter? 

For  instance,  there's  Ray  Perkins,  who 
adopted  Wendy  Gay  about  two  years  ago. 
So  attached  have  the  Perkins  become  to 
the  little  one  that  they  stiffen  up  when 
someone  reminds  them  she's  not  their  own 
flesh  and  blood. 

THEN  there's  Morton  Downey,  who  also 
has  an  adopted  son,  Michael,  as  well  as 
his  own  boy,  Morton,  Jr. 

Several  months  after  the  curly-haired  tot 
had  come  to  rule  the  Downey  household 
Morton  and  Barbara  realized  they  were 
going  to  have  a  baby.  But  give  up 
Michael?  Not  if  they  could  help  it,  for 
they  were  as  fond  of  the  chubby,  mis- 
chievous youngster  as  if  he  were  their 
own.  "He'll  be  a  companion  to  Morton, 
Jr.,"  they  said  after  their  first-born  ar- 
rived. 

Isham  Jones,  the  bandmaster  and 
songwriter,  has  a  little  boy,  David. 
Perhaps  you  didn't  know  that  David  is 
an  adopted  child.  Yes,  of  course  he  looks 
like  Mrs.  Jones,  but  nevertheless  he  came 
to  the  Jones  ready-made. 

The  story  of  how  he  became  young 
Master  Jones  hasn't  been  told  before. 
"Our  David  came  rather  suddenly,"  Mar- 
garet Jones  said.  "While  I  was  visiting 
a  friend  at  a  maternity  hospital,  a  nurse 
came  in  carrying  a  tiny,  red-faced,  scream- 
ing, kicking  baby.  'Poor  kid,'  she  said, 
'his  mother  has  just  died  and  nobody  wants 
him.    I  don't  blame  him   for  bawling !" 


Margie  felt  an  unexpected  clutch  at  her  ' 
heart.  She  had  always  wanted  a  baby, 
but  Isham,  man-like,  couldn't  see  taking 
someone  else's  child.  When  the  subject 
of  adoption  is  first  broached,  most  men 
feel  that  way. 

Here  was  a  darling  pink  and  white 
mite,  literally  theirs  for  the  asking.  "That's 
my  boy,"  she  announced  to  the  startled 
nurse.    "I'm  coming  back  for  him." 

Almost  before  he  realized  what  had  hap- 
pened, Isham  Jones  had  succumbed  to  the 
charms  of  the  little  tot  and  David  was 
installed  as  reigning  monarch  in  the  Jones 
apartment.  There  he  rules  his  kingdom 
with  an  iron  hand,  interrupting  Isham 
when  Isham  is  practicing  or  composing 
and  getting  his  "dada"  down  on  all  fours 
for  a  horseback  ride.  Yet  the  thin-lipped, 
stern-faced  Isham  Jones  actually  enjoys 
being  bossed  around  by  this  two-and-a-half- 
foot  bundle  of  humanity. 

Now  the  latest  news  along  radio  row  is 
that  Jack  Benny  and  Mary  Livingston,  in- 
spired by  the  experience  of  couples  who 
have  adopted  babies,  are  in  the  market  for 
a  baby  girl,  while  Al  Jolson  says  that  if 
the  stork  doesn't  deliver  a  baby  to  him 
and  Ruby  Keeler  pretty  soon,  he'll  be 
shopping  around  for  a  ready-made  little 
Al,  Jr. 

And  that's  what's  happening  along  the 
ether  lane,  a  mad  rush  for  babies  to  adopt. 
So  if  you  know  of  any  toddlers  that  could 
stand  adopting,  why,  just  let  your  pet 
childless  star  know  about  him. 


WSM— Where  They  Believe  Most 
Folk  Are  Fine  and  Friendly 

{Continued  from  page  59) 


goal — public  service. 

But  the  time  came  that  increased  power 
and  extended  services  were  necessary  to 
the  advancement  of  the  station  and  its 
purposes.  All  of  us  know  that  costs 
money.  The  directors  got  their  heads  to- 
gether and  started  figuring.  "If  we  sell 
four  programs,"  they  said,  "the  problem 
will  be  solved."    Only  four,  mind  you. 

The  salesmen  went  out.  Within  one 
hour  the  four  programs  were  sold.  And 
about  a  dozen  others  were  turned  down. 
If  four  would  do  the  trick,  only  four  would 
be  sold.  Those  were  the  orders.  You  can 
imagine  the  scramble  of  Nashville  busi- 
ness men  to  buy  that  air-time. 

This  is  where  Harry  Stone  comes  into 
the  picture.  He  had  been  running  a  small 
station  in  Nashville,  but  now  that  WSM 
was  doing  commercial  work,  he  was  called 
to  assist  Director  Hay. 

TRY  as  hard  as  we  may,  we  can't  keep 
"The  Grand  Old  Op'ry"  out  of  the  pic- 
ture. It  seems  that  WSM's  history 
weaves  around  that  show.  Between  1928 
and  1932  it  grew  in  popularity  by  leaps 
and  bounds.  And  first  thing  he  knew, 
George  D.  Hay  was  the  "Solemn  Old 
Judge"  on  a  four-hour  "Op'ry"  instead  of 
the  one  hour  show  it  started  out  to  be.  So 
in  November,  1932,  Stone  was  made  the 
station's  manager,  and  Hay  became  the 
chief  character  actor  and  publicity  director. 


The  station  continued  to  grow.  Stone 
developed  the  commercial  side  of  the  sta- 
tion and  put  it  on  a  paying  scale.  But,  re- 
member, he  maintained  all  of  the  good-will 
features  which  had  given  this  station  its 
individuality. 

Right  off  the  bat  he  increased  the  power 
from  5000  to  50,000  watts.  And  878  feet 
up  in  the  air  rose  America's  tallest  an- 
tenna. And,  for  that  matter,  the  tallest 
structure  of  any  kind  in  America  except- 
ing New  York's  Empire  State  Building. 

It's  a  beautiful  sight,  that  antenna. 
Standing  in  the  center  of  a  thirty-five  acre 
tract  twelve  miles  out  of  Nashville,  it 
towers  up  like  a  silver  streak  against  the 
green  background  of  the  Tennessee  moun- 
tains. Only  a  few  feet  in  diameter  at  the 
bottom,  it  bulges  at  the  center  and  then 
tapers  into  a  point.  Eight  big  guy  wires, 
heavily  anchored  in  ten  feet  of  concrete 
on  a  bed  of  solid  rock,  hold  it  up  as  pro- 
grams are  shot  out  from  it  into  space 
seventeen  and  a  half  hours  daily. 

Nashville  is  proud  of  WSM.  It  should 
be,  for  Nashville  is  a  city  of  diversified 
interests  and  it  has  been  WSM's  job  to 
cater  to  them  all.  Vanderbilt  University, 
George  Peabody  College  for  Teachers,  Fisk 
University,  Ward-Belmont  College  for 
Women,  Scarritt  College,  the  Nashville 
Conservatory  of  Music — all  have  been 
afforded  the  use  of  WSM.  Nashville  is 
the  political  center  of  the  state  where  is

located  the  heads  of  the  state  government 
and  many  state  institutions.  None  are  ever 
refused  the  use  of  WSM.  It  is  a  historical 
center,  the  headquarters  of  many  religious 
faiths,  and  you  will  find  that  reflected  in 
WSM's  list  of  programs.  Out  in  the  hills 
that  surround  the  city,  are  the  moun- 
taineers, plain  people  of  simple  means. 
They,  too,  have  influenced  the  station. 

DUT  you  already  know  that  WSM  has 
served  these  interests.  The  Fisk  Jubi- 
lee Singers  first  went  on  the  air  from  this 
station.  "The  Grand  Old  Op'ry"  is  the 
kind  of  entertainment  closest  to  the  hearts 
of  its  rural  listeners.  It  has  fostered  real 
American  folk  music,  and  everyone  knows 
that  its  programs  of  Negro  dialect  are  as 
real  as  possible  for  a  white  man  to  devise. 

Then,  too,  WSM  has  been  an  NBC  out- 
let since  1926,  and  broadcasts  some  of  the 
finest  programs  available  from  NBC's 
studios  in  New  York,  Chicago  and  other 
points.  Perhaps  you  will  recall  incidents 
where  NBC  has  looked  to  WSM  -for  talent 
and  programs. 

I  think  you  ought  to  know  of  some  of 
the  real  tangible  services  this  station  has 


performed.  Do  you  remember  the  tornado 
disaster  in  Florida  in  1926?  Well,  WSM 
knew  that  people  in  that  state  were  suffer- 
ing and  were  in  dire  need  of  food  and 
clothing. 

WSM  told  their  listeners  about  it.  Such 
an  appeal  was  a  thing  new  to  radio  in 
those  days.  Programs  were  interrupted 
while  announcers  read  messages  a -'king  for 
any  donation  at  all  to  relieve  the  sufferers. 

Those  listeners  responded  to  the  tune  of 
$65,000,  which  was  turned  over  to  the  Kcd 
Cross. 

On  another  occasion,  when  the  state  of 
Mississippi  was  drenched  in  floods,  WSM 
again  put  the  disaster  before  its  listeners. 
Had  they  forgotten  the  joy  they  had  in 
helping  Florida?  Would  they  rally 
again?  Within  a  few  days  WSM  received 
$30,000.  And  no  big  contributions,  mind 
you.  Just  a  lot  of  dimes  and  quarters  and 
dollar  bills — some  from  mountain  farmers 
to  whom  a  dime  meant  a  bigger  sacrifice 
than  a  million  dollars  would  mean  to  a 
Rockefeller  or  a  Henry  Ford. 

Yes,  a  spirit  of  real  Southern  hospitality 
pervades  WSM.  That's  the  spirit  on 
which  it  operates. 


WSM  Is  Proudest  of  Its  "Grand 
Old  Opry"

the  regular  rates  to  advertise  on  this  show. 

Judge  Hay,  the  father  of  the  idea,  and 
still  the  "Solemn  Old  Judge"  stepped  out 
as  WMS's  manager  because  of  "The 
Grand  Old  Opry."  The  program  grew 
to  such  size  that  he  had  to  give  it  his 
entire  time.  That's  how  important  a  show 
it  is. 

Now  here's  something  unusual.  Every 
time  the  "opry"  goes  on  the  air,  Robert 
Lunn  sings  two  numbers,  one  of  which  is 
always  "The  Talking  Blues."  He  has  sung 
that  song  hundreds  of  times.  You'd  think 
people  would  get  tired  of  it.  Instead,  they 
demand  it  every  week. 

Uncle  Dave  Macon,  troubador  of  the 
Tennessee  hills  for  some  forty  years,  is 
one  of  the  main  attractions.  He's  sixty- 
four  and  the  father  of  eight  grown  sons. 
Uncle  Dave  is  always  there  playing  his 


banjo  and  singing  "Old  Dan  Tucker," 
"Whoop  'em  Up  Cindy"  and  "The  Hungry 
Hash  House  on  the  Hill."  He  still  lives 
on  the  farm  where  he  was  born. 

Dr.  Bate,  who  presents  his  "Possum 
Hunters,"  is  a  country  doctor  from  near 
Gallatin,  Tennessee,  who  practices  medi- 
cine at  any  hour  except  Saturdays  from  8 
to  12  midnight.    Then  he's  on  the  air. 

You'd  think  that  one  such  unusual  pro- 
gram would  be  enough  for  one  station. 
Well,  WSM  is  not  satisfied  with  that.

cast.

for  apples  a  bit  too  far,  don't  you  think?" 
Martha  broke  in  with  a  smile.  "But 
though  the  apple  pie  was  greeted  with 
laughter  at  that  particular  meal  it  has 
since  become  one  of  our  favorite  desserts. 
The  maid  does  something  to  the  crust 
which  makes  it  superb  and  cooks  it  in  a 
big,  square  pan  instead  of  in  the  usual 
round  pie  tin.  And  she  always  serves 
cream  with  it.    It's  divine !" 

"It's  not  one  bit  better  than  my  apple 
pie,"  Vet  claimed,  interrupting  us,  "I've 
never  learned  to  make  pastry,"  she  con- 
fessed, "so  when  someone  suggested  that 


I  use  graham  cracker  crust  I  thought  I'd 
try  it  out.  The  very  next  time  the  maid 
had  her  day  off  I  invaded  the  kitchen 
and  made  both  the  girls  do  a  part  of  the 
job,  too.  I  can  assure  you  that  that  was 
one  time  when  too  many  cook's  didn't 
spoil  the  broth — or  should  I  say  the  pie." 

"It  may  surprise  you,"  said  Connie 
proudly,  "but  we're  really  very  good 
cooks !" 

"Well,"  I  replied,  "all  I  can  do  is  an- 
swer you  as  Samuel  Johnson  answered 
another  Boswell,  his  biographer  James,  a 
hundred  years  or  so  ago,  'The  surprise

yc  cau  do  it  at  all !'  " 

£\D  my  surprise  was  genuine  tor  I  had 
*  discovered  that  not  only  could  the  girls 
ij: — which  I  already  knew — but  they  also 
put  in  oils,  make  their  own  musical  ar- 
rgements  and  play  several  musical  in- 
Kments.  But  I  was  especially  pleased 
tcliscover  that  besides  being  able  to  cook, 
tl.  were  skilled  hostesses  with  that  gra- 
c  isness  which  has  made  Southern  hos- 
p.lity  famous  the  world  over  (Connie,

HOT  APPLE  PUDDING 
Apple  Filling 
6  medium  size  apples  (greenings) 
Yz  cup  sugar 
H  teaspoon  cinnamon 

Batter  for  Pudding 
4  tablespoons  butter 
2/\  cup  granulated  sugar 
1  egg 

1  cup  sifted  cake  flour 

1  teaspoon  baking  powder 

M  teaspoon  salt 

5-4  cup  milk 

Vi  teaspoon  vanilla 
Peel  and  core  apples  and  cut  into 
ghths.  Combine  with  2/j  cup  sugar, 
ixed  with  cinnamon.  Turn  into  greased 
•ep  baking  dish.  Cover  and  bake  in  hot 
.•en  (400°  F.)  IS  minutes.  Meanwhile 
ake  pudding  batter. 

Cream  butter  thoroughly,  add  sugar 
radiially  and  cream  together  until  light 
:id  fluffy.  Add  egg  and  beat  thoroughly, 
ift  flour,  measure  and  sift  together  with 
aking  powder  and  salt  three  times.  Add 
our  mixture  to  butter  mixture  alternately 

ith  the  milk,  a  little  at  a  time.  Add 
anilla  and  beat  until  smooth.  Remove 
pples  from  oven  after  15  minutes  of  bak- 
ig  and  reduce  heat  to  moderate  (350°  F.). 


Press  apples  down  with  back  of  mixing 
spoon,  pour  batter  over  them,  evenly.  Re- 
turn to  oven  and  cook  uncovered  45  min- 
utes longer,  or  until  straw  or  cake  tester 
inserted  in  cake  comes  out  clean.  Serve 
with  slightly  sweetened  cream  or  a  lemon 
sauce. 

By  sending  in  for  the  recipes  this  month 
you  will  start  off  in  fine  style  with 
Vet's  Graham  Apple  Pie  which  you'll 
surely  want  to  have  after  seeing  the  pic- 
ture of  the  girls  in  the  process  of  making 
it  and  after  casting  a  hungry  look  at  the 
other  picture  which  shows  the  finished 
product.  Then  there's  the  Spice  Apple 
Pie  that  completed  that  amusing  apple  meal 
we  were  speaking  about  and  I  can  tell  you 
this  special  dessert  is  no  laughing  matter 
— it's  that  good.  I  also  prevailed  upon  the 
Boswell  cook  to  part  with  her  Dutch  Ap- 
ple Cake  recipe  for  you,  or  should  I  con- 
fess that  I  really  wanted  it  for  my  files 
after  hearing  Martha  describe  it  as  her 
favorite  apple  dessert.  Well,  no  matter, 
I  have  it  now,  and  you  may  have  it,  too. 
The  fourth  Boswell  treat  is  a  recipe  for 
Apple  Jam  which  the  girls  brought  "up 
No'th"  with  them.  It's  an  old  New  Or- 
leans specialty,  quite  spicy,  of  course,  as 
that  is  characteristic  of  Creole  cookery. 
When  you've  once  made  this  jam  you'll 
want  to  have  jars  and  jars  of  it  on  hand. 
(And  this  year  try  sealing  these  jars  and 
others  as  well  with  the  new  transparent 
discs  closely  resembling  cellophane  which 
are  absolutely  airtight,  easy  to  apply  and 
fit  any  shape  jar.   They're  economical,  too.) 

Incidentally,  when  using  these  Boswell 
recipes  remember  that  apples  should  be 
cooked  in  granite,  glass  or  earthen  utensils 
and  should  be  stirred  with  silver,  wooden 
or  granite  spoons. 

And  now,  no  matter  how  trite  and  time 
worn  it  may  seem,  I'm  going  to  do  just 
what  you've  been  expecting  me  to  do  all 
along — I'm  going  to  quote  that  all  too 
familiar  "An  apple  a  day  keeps  the  doctor 
away"  line — not  because  I  labor  under  the 
delusion  that  it's  an  original  observation, 
but  because  I  want  you  to  realize  that 
there's  a  great  deal  more  truth  than  poetry 
in  that  statement.  You  see,  apples  are  rich 
in  minerals  in  easily  assimilated  forms. 
An  apple  in  its  raw  state  is  excellent  for 
the  teeth,  too,  for  the  juices  are  cleansing 
and  the  fruit  itself  is  just  hard  enough  to 
work  wonders  upon  the  gums.  Then  as 
crowning  arguments  in  favor  of  this  King 
of  Fruits  let  me  point  out  that  apples  aid 
digestion,  tend  to  keep  the  brain  clear 
and  make  people  sweet  tempered !  It's  a 
fact !  Aha,  that  explains  why  the  Bos- 
wells  are  so  nice.  Now  you'll  surely  want 
to  send  for  their  recipes — quick !

WSM  Is  Proudest  of  Its  "Grand 
Old  Opry" 

(Continued  from  page  92) 


sound  every  afternoon  during  the  week  as 
the  famous  Pan  American,  Louisville  and 
Nashville  Railroad  ace  train,  passes 
America's  tallest  radio  tower,  the  engi- 
neering home  of  WSM. 

Actually.  WSM  has  a  tiny  house  only  a 
few  feet  from  the  rails.  Every  day  at  5 
p.  m.  a  microphone  is  hung  from  the  front 
door.  As  the  train  roars  down  the  track, 
it  automatically  throws  on  a  bell  signal  in 
the  house.  The  mike  is  turned  on.  The 
whistle  blows.  And  WSM  broadcasts  the 
passing  of  the  Pan  American.  The  whole 
show  lasts  only  three  minutes,  commercial 
announcement  and  all.  And  it's  the  same 
every  day.  Yet  Nashville  •  stops  its  work 
to  listen.  And  people  all  over  middle 
America  set  their  clocks  by  it. 

Another  show  that  has  reached  amazing 
heights  is  "Uncle  Wash  and  The  Solemn 
Old  Judge."  Hay  again  is  the  judge.  As 
you  know,  this  is  a  program  in  Negro 
dialect,  presented  by  people  who  really 
know  Negro  life.  Back  in  1928,  Uncle 
Wash,  the  old  Negro  character,  took  an 
imaginary  trip  on  his  mule  named  "Dyna- 
mite." During  the  course  of  the  trip, 
Dynamite  and  Uncle  Wash  were  arrested 
for  not  using  a  tail  light.  After  that  pro- 
gram, listeners  sent  in  dozens  of  tail  lights 
for  Dynamite.  And  there  were  so  many 
letters  expressing  sorrow  for  Uncle  Wash 
and  disgust  for  the  officers  who  arrested 
him,  that  the  writer  of  the  radio  script 
had  to  write  Uncle  Wash  and  Dynamite 
out  of  the  jail  and  make  things  end 
happily. 

There  are  a  lot  of  artists  at  this  station, 
all  working  together  in  friendly  fashion. 
Christine  Lamb,  a  contralto,  is  a  girl  to 
whom  WSM  points  with  pride.  You  see 
she  represented  Tennessee  twice  in  the 
national  Atwater  Kent  auditions.  She  is 
a  member  of  the  Sacred  Concert  Group, 
the  Mixed  Quartet,  the  WSM  soloist  and 
then  finds  time  enough  to  act  as  the  sta- 


tion's hostess.  If  you  have  ever  recei' 
a  letter  from  WSM,  she  was  probably 

one  who  dictated  it. 

JOSEPH  MACPHERSON  is  an  ar 

who  has  made  good  in  a  big  way. 
appeared  on  the  opening  program  of 
when  the  station  went  on  the  air  Octo 
5,  1925.   A  short  time  afterward  he  \ 
signed  by  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
pany  of  New  York  as  one  of  its  lead 
bass  baritones.    After  six  years  with 
"Met,"  Macpherson  has  returned  to  WS 

Southern  people  know  how  to  stage  i 
minstrel  shows,  and  WSM  has  enga,. 
Lasses  White  and  his  partner,  Hor 
Wilds,  to  do  it  up  in  grand  style.  Laa 
is  an  old-timer  at  the  business.  He  be; 
his  career  with  the  famous  Honey  Ii 
Evans  twenty-one  years  ago  and  t<' 
Honey  Boy's  place  when  he  died.  Lb 
he  acted  with  Al  G.  Field  and  ^ 
O'Brien.  Now  he's  heading  his  C 
show  at  Nashville  and  has  never  lacke>| 
commercial  sponsor.  Honey  Wilds, 
partner,  is  a  jolly,  fat  fellow  chock  full  I 
fun  and  with  a  dancing  pair  of  feet. 

It  is  remarkable  how  many  of  the  natil 
al  network's  biggest  stars  come  from  tl 
station.  James  Melton,  the  tenor  who  clal 
both  NBC  and  CBS,  is  one.  He  usedl 
play  the  saxophone  in  Francis  Craj 
orchestra  at  WSM.  Smilin'  Ed  McConil 
made  his  re-entry  into  radio  from  W£| 
The  Pickard  Family  was  featured  on 
Grand  Old  Opry"  in  1925-26.  Mi 
Nolan,  an  entertainer  there  two  yel 
ago,  was  recently  signed  by  NBC.  Irl 
Beazley  of  NBC  was  on  one  of  WSJ 
first  commercials.  The  Fiske  Jub  I 
Singers  first  sang  over  the  network  frj 
Nashville.  The  Vagabonds,  an  NBC  hfl 
mony  trio,  came  from  the  same  place. 

And  so  this  important  station  goes 
daily  growing  greater  and  becoming 
enjoyable  part  of  our  lives. 


The  High  Cost  of  Love  on  Radio  Ro 


(Continued  from  page  25) 


exactly  the  same  complaints  about  his  ex- 
wife  ! 

No  wonder  Glenn  is  a  little  bitter.  He 
recently  married  again  and  his  expenses 
must  be  pretty  steep  all  around. 

Dave  Rubinoff  has  been  in  show  busi- 
ness for  twenty  years,  now  he's  beginning 
to  find  out  about  the  high  cost  of  love. 
First  Peggy  Garcia  sued  him  for  $100,000 
for  breach  of  promise.  The  moment  his 
ex-wife  read  about  that  suit,  she  decided 
it  was  time  for  her  to  sue  Dave  too.  If  a 
girl  no  one  had  ever  heard  about  could 
demand  that  much  money,  wasn't  his  ex- 
wife  entitled  to  more?  It  was  true  that 
seven  years  ago  they  had  been  divorced 
without  alimony,  but  it's  never  too  late  to 
start  a  lawsuit.    She's  suing  for  $169,000. 


Dave  is  overwhelmed  by  the  whole  thi] 
Is  this  all  love  means  to  women,  a  bills

the  woman  he  was  married  to  for  f] 
years  is  putting  a  price  on  their  love  n  l

twenty  dollars  a  week,  a  heck  of  a  lot  she 
could  get  from  you. 

But  don't  go  so  fast,  Big  Boy.  Perhaps 
you  dream  of  being  a  radio  big  shot  some 
day.  Perhaps  some  day  your  dreams  may 
come  true.  Stranger  things  have  happened. 
And  when  they  do  come  true,  you  Great 
Big  Lover,  you,  that  blonde  may  still  get 
you. 

Radio  stars  are  often  asked  to  pay  the 
price  for  the  loves  of  their  salad  days. 

Look  at  what  happened  to  Paul  White- 
man.  When  Paul  was  a  boy  of  eighteen,  a 
fiddler  in  a  little  theatre  in  Denver,  he  fell 
in  love  with  Nellie  Stack  a  girl  in  the 
chorus,  with  black  hair  and  black  eyes. 

Eighteen-year-old  Paul  married  the  little- 
chorus  girl.  It  was  a  secret,  romantic 
elopement.  And  right  after  it  happened, 
Nellie's  mamma  rushed  out  to  Denver  to 
scold  her  little  girl  for  going  on  the  stage. 
Not  knowing  that  her  daughter  was 
married,  she  took  her  to  Europe.  When 
they  came  back,  Paul  was  waiting  for 
Nellie.  When  Mama  heard  they  were 
married,  she  was  aghast.  What,  her  little 
girl  had  married  without  her  permission! 
And  they  had  been  married  by  a  squire ! 
It  was  quite  terrible  of  them.  But  since 
they'd  done  it  anyway,  the  proper  thing 
to  do  was  to  be  married  all  over  again  by 
a  priest.  Mama  Stack  had  her  way.  They 
were  re-married  by  Father  Foley  at  the 
Holy  Church. 

Nellie  and  Paul  lived  together  for  only 
a  few  months.  Paul  claimed  later  that 
his  wife  deserted  him.  Mama  Stack 
claimed  later  that  Paul  deserted  Nellie. 
Perhaps  the  saddest  part  of  the  whole 
story  is  that  a  son  was  born  to  Nellie  in 
May,  1909,  and  died  in  September  of  the 
same  year  without  Paul  ever  laying  eyes 
on  him.    And  now  mark  what  happened. 

The  years  went  by.  The  fiddler  of  the 
little  Denver  theatre  became  a  nationally 
known  master  of  red-hot  rhythms.  Paul 
Whiteman  had  come  into  his  own. 

CEVENTEEN  years  after  he  and  his 
wife  parted — seventeen  years,  mind  you 
— Nellie's  mama  launched  a  $10,000  suit 
against  him.  She  claimed  that  this  was 
the  amount  she  had  spent  caring  for  her 
daughter  after  Paul  deserted  her. 

Of  course  Paul  should  have  fought  the 
case.  But  a  man  can  take  just  so  much 
and  no  more.  If  Paul  Whiteman's  name 
had  been  dragged  through  any  more  mud, 
whether  he  was  innocent  or  guilty  in  the 
sight  of  a  higher  court  than  any  that  could 
ever  try  him  here,  the  result  would  have 
been  the  same.  His  career  would  have  been 
wrecked.  Paul  settled  for  $7,750  just 
before  the  case  went  to  trial.  That  was 
the  price  he  paid  for  a  few  brief  months 
of  love. 

I  daresay  that  Paul  has  paid  as  high  a 
price  for  love  as  any  man  on  Radio  Row. 
Paul  Whiteman  has  loved  madly,  im- 
petuously many  times  in  his  glamorous 
career.  And  almost  every  time,  at  the  end 
of  the  road,  he  has  found  that  love  had  a 
price  tag  attached  to  it. 

You  see,  Margaret  Livingston  is  his 
fourth  wife. 

I'm  not  defending  Paul  for  marrying  so 
many  times.  I'm  just  pointing  out  the 
high  cost  of  being  so  affectionate.  I  don't 
know  how  much  alimony  he  paid  to 
"Jimmy"  Smith,  who  divorced  him  in  Los 
Angeles  in  1922.    But  the  alimony  he  pays

IF  THERE  is  anybody  -who  knows  -what  suffering 
is,  it  is  the  person  afflicted  with  Piles ! 
Piles  can  do  more  to  torment  you  and  pull  you 
down  physically  and  mentally  than  almost  any 
other  single  ailment.  Yet  on  account  of  the  deli- 
cacy of  the  subject  many  hesitate  to  seek  relief. 

Yet  Piles  can  have  a  very  serious  outcome,  often 
necessitating  surgery. 

If  there's  anything  that  is  genuine  treatment  of 
Piles  it  is  Pazo  Ointment !  Pazo  almost  instantly 
relieves  the  pain,  soreness  and  itching  and  stops 
any  bleeding.  But,  more  than  that,  Pazo  tends  to 
correct  the  condition  of  Piles  as  a  whole. 
This  is  why :  Pazo  is  threefold  in  effect. 
First,  it  is  soothing,  which  relieves  the  soreness 
and  inflammation.  Second,  it  is  healing,  which 
repairs  the  torn  and  damaged  tissues.  Third,  it  is 
absorbing,  which  dries  up  any  mucous  matter  and 
tends  to  shrink  the  swollen  blood  vessels  which 
are  Piles. 

Pazo  comes  in  two  forms  —  in  tubes  and  tins. 
The  tubes  have  a  special  Pile  Pipe  for  insertion  in 
the  rectum.  All  drug  stores  sell  Pazo  at  small  cost. 
Get  either  a  tube  or  tin  today  and  see  the  genuine 
relief  it  holds  in  store  for  you. 

DEAFNESS  IS  MISERY

RADIO  STARS 

Vanda  Hoff,  the  dancer,  from  whom  he 
was  divorced  in  1931,  will  take  your  breath 
away.  Six  hundred  smackers  a  week !  To 
be  sure,  they  have  a  son,  Paul  Jr.,  to  pro- 
vide for.    But  even  so  .  .  . 

ARTHUR  TRACY,  the  Street  Singer, 
found  his  career  wrecked  when  Mrs. 
Tracy  started  divorce  proceedings  against 
him.  '  The  sordid  details  of  their  life  to- 
gether were  rehearsed  for  the  whole  world. 
When  Mrs.  Tracy  testified  in  court  that 
Arthur  beat  her,  there  was  no  use  in  his 
singing  over  the  radio,  '"All  I  do  the  whole 
night  through  is  dream  of  you."  He  was 
ordered  to  pay  $100  a  week  temporary 
alimony  until  the  Supreme  Court  referee 
could  determine  the  amount  he  was  able 
to  pay. 

He  had  been  built  up  as  a  romantic 
figure  and  his  love  romance  as  an  idyll. 
Now  the  public  is  bitterly  disillusioned. 
What  sponsor  would  back  Arthur  Tracy 
now ;  what  broadcasting  company  throw 
the  weight  of  its  publicity  in  his  favor? 
There  is  a  price  to  be  paid  for  love  on 
Radio  Row  and  a  price  to  be  paid  for 
falling  out  of  love. 

Freddie  Rich  almost  paid  that  price.  So 
did  Phil  Baker. 


Peggy  Lawson  Rich  filed  a  separa: 
suit  asking  for  $500  a  week  alimony.  ' 
court  decided  that  Fred  was  U>  pay  Pq 
sixty  dollars  a  week  temporary  alimoni 

Fred  was  convinced  that  the  woman 
had  loved  and  honored  above  all  ot 
women  was  guilty  which  later  testin, 
proved.  So,  fortunately,  Freddie  Rich 
not  have  to  pay  Peggy  the  $500  a  week 
demanded. 

Vivian  Vernon,  Phil  Baker's  first  \» 
betrayed  his  love  and  trust.  She,  too, 
manded  $500  a  week  alimony  as  the  p 
of  a  love  that  was  dead.  And  Phil  m 
be  paying  that  $500  to  this  day  if  he 
not  accidentally  discovered  some 
letters  Vivian  had  received  from  other  i 

If  a  radio  big  shot  has  the  misfortun 
fall  in  love  when  he  is  already  man 
he  will  always  have  to  pay  a  steep  p 
as  the  cost  of  his  love. 

When  George  Jessel  fell  in  love  i 
Norma  Talmadge,  his  wife  Florence,  f 
whom  he  was  separated  and  from  whon 
had  already  been  divorced  once,  demai 
a  settlement  of  $100,000.  And  got 
Norma  guaranteed  it. 

And  now  aren't  you  glad  that  you're 
a  radio  star  and  can  still  make  love  to 
cute  little  blonde  next  door?

instead  a  typewriter.  Then  she  won  the 
Atwater  Kent  audition  in  1930  and  she's 
been  riding  the  wings  of  success  ever  since. 

Say,  what's  this?  Crumit  and  An- 
nouncer Von  Zell  are  both  talking  at  once. 
Well,  here's  something.  See?  Crumit  is 
out  there  in  front  of  the  curtain.  That's 
Von  Zell  behind  the  scenes,  over  there  in 
the  corner.  The  tall  blond,  athletic  look- 
ing fellow.  He  talks  to  that  mike  as  if 
it  were  a  person,  "Forty-five  minutes  of 
entertainment  from  the  beer  that  made 
Milwaukee  famous!  SCHLITZ — Schlitz 
Beer !" 

That's  what  the  folks  at  home  are  hear- 
ing. But  Crumit's  voice  isn't  traveling  the 
air.  He's  not  talking  into  a  mike  yet. 
He's  out  there  welcoming  the  studio  audi- 
ence. Telling  them  how  to  behave.  To 
have  a  good  time.  It's  their  program. 
"Clap  and  laugh  right  out  loud  if  you  feel 
like  it.  And  sing !  If  you  can't  sing  good, 
sing  loud !"  He  waves  them  into  an  old 
favorite  tune. 

The  curtain  soars  up  to  their  laughing 
and  singing.  Vic  has  his  light  flannel 
coat  on  now  and  is  batoning  his  men  with 
as  much  pep  as  the  ork  leader  at  a  college 
prom.  The  fellows  are  in  white  slacks  and 
their  shirts  are  open  at  the  collar.  Every 
man's  foot  beats  time  to  his  music.  Von 
Zell  tilts  the  mike  stand  toward  him.  He's 
introducing  the  stars. 

Listen  to  this.  Notice  the  way  Vic  glides 
into  a  different  strain  introducing  each  star. 
The  tune  spots  the  star  you'll  hear — 
Everett  Marshall's  is  "That's  Why  Darkies 
Are  Born ;"  Frank  Crumit's,  "Gay  Cabal- 
lero;"  Carol  Deis',  "With  a  Song  in  My 
Heart;"  the  Eight  Gentlemen  from  Mil- 
waukee, "It's  Always  Fair  Weather."  And 
Colonel  Stoopnaglc  and  Biidd — suddenly 
the  orchestra  breaks  off  in  mid  air.  The 


plaintive  wheezing  of  the  mighty  gas  I 
organ  thrums  our  ears — "I  Love  Coffe " 
The  orchestra  crashes  down  on  it  anrie 
whole  cast  drowns  the  groans  with  "  r 
and  Warmer."  Look  at  your  stop  wat  - 
all  this  in  less  than  two  minutes.  5 1

Quickly  he  swings  the  stars  through  i 
paces.    Remember  there's  only  forty  t 
minutes  for  all  this  great  army  of  t 
to  entertain  you.    Crumit  starts  it  off 
an  amusing  little  song  of  his  own.  N 
how  he  colors  the  brief  moments  bet 
the  performers  with  his  good  humor.  ' 
that  same  humor  he's  transformed  a  vfc 
theatre  of  cold  New  Yorkers  into  a  ga  r-

And  do  they  like  color?  Look  at  that  gilt

kid  would  make  with  four  wheels  and  a 
soap  box.  With  the  exception  that  these 
prize  dumbells  have  nailed  half  a  dozen 
stove  pipes  on  the  front  and  added  a  few 
old  organ  keys. 

Budd  must  have  some  good  ones  up  his 
sleeve  tonight.  Look  at  the  way  his  face 
crinkles  up  and  his  shrewd  eyes  twinkle. 
This  blond  Budd  is  just  the  best  egger- 
onner  ever,  gets  the  Colonel  all  twisted  up 
in  his  jokes.  Don't  feel  badly  because 
they're  rushing  away.  They'll  be  back, 
you  can  always  depend  on  that. 

The  Master  of  Ceremonies  is  at  the  mike 
again.  Carol  Deis  is  going  to  sing.  Notice 
how  the  whole  place  quiets  into  breathless 
expectancy.  She's  the  girl,  you  remember, 
we  saw  knitting.  She's  holding  her  hand 
to  her  ear  to  distinguish  the  trueness  of  the 
notes  of  her  love  song. 

The  jolly  gang  who  chime  in  on  the 
chorus  of  her  song  are  those  inimitable 
Eight  Gentlemen  from  Milwaukee.  They 
look  like  the  old  college  glee  club,  don't 
they?  Short,  dark,  tall,  light,  thin  and 
chubby,  they  represent  an  octette  of  swell 
voices  for  song  and  speaking.  By  the  way 
they  provide  all  the  extra  speaking  voices 
on  the  program. 

Uncle  Abner  is  hobbling  back  now  to 
lose  a  case  of  Schlitz  to  his  nephew  Crumit 
on  the  song  guessing.  Listen  to  the  way 
the  audience  joins  in  on  the  choruses  of 
the  old  favorites. 

Quick,  quick.  Look  at  the  chubby  Col- 
onel. The  roly  poly.  With  nothing  on  but 
a  tiger  skin.  He's  rushing  down  the  aisle. 
The  crowd  is  going  wild.  Thursday,  his 
man  (Budd)  who  used  to  be  his  man 
Friday,  but  who  had  to  take  a  cut  like 
everybody  else  these  days,  catches  up  with 
him.  I'll  bet  Budd  hasn't  a  shirt  under 
that  huge  necktie.  He  certainly  doesn't 
need  one  for  covering,  anyway. 

Did  you  ever  see  such  prize  half  wits? 
One  night  it's  a  tiger  skin,  another  time  a 
long  black  frock  coat  and  stovepipe  hat. 
Loin  cloth  and  boots.  Sleeveless  shirts 
and  shirtless  sleeves.  You  certainly  can 
depend  on  them  for  a  laugh.  Television 
can't  arrive  too  soon  to  keep  us  home 
when  such  comedians  are  dished  up  for 
our  amusement. 

With  a  crash  the  orchestra  swings  the 
cast  into  song  and  the  curtain  goes  down 
and  home  we  must  go.  Say,  look  at  the 
performers  making  a  dive  for  their  hats 
and  the  stage  door.  Speed  up.  They'll  be 
out  of  here  before  we  are.

radio  songstress  at  Chicago's  Open  Air 
Art  Fair  in  Grant  Park,  Chicago. 

Don,  who  is  on  the  Art  Fair  roster, 
studied  in  the  Layton  Art  School  in  Mil- 
waukee and  for  several  years  held  down  a 
job  as  cartoonist  and  radio  editor,  first 
in  Milwaukee  and  later  in  Louisville.  He 
has  since  gained  fame  on  National  Broad- 
casting Company  networks  as  one  of  the 
"Two  Professors,"  and  is  now  heard  as 
master  of  ceremonies  on  the  Climalene 
Carnival  and  the  Breakfast  Club. 

Miss  Page  modeled  for  the  Saturday 
Evening  Post  and  the  Ladies'  Home  Journal 
covers  by  McMein  and  Brunner,  and  once 
posed  for  the  nurse  on  a  Red  Cross  pos- 
ter. She  would  still  be  a  professional 
model,  probably,  if  she  hadn't  won  a  Paul 
Whiteman  audition  two  years  ago.  She 
was  immediately  signed  as  featured  singer 
with  Seymour  Simons'  orchestra.  In  May, 
1934,  she  joined  the  National  Broadcast- 
ing Company. 

•  Ralph  Kirbcry,  NBC's  "Dream  Sing- 
er," celebrates  his  third  anniversary  on 
radio  in  November.  Ralph's  first  program 
was  an  American  Legion  production  over 
WODA,  Paterson,  N.  J.,  on  Armistice 
Day.  1931. 

•  The  teacher  who  convinced  Conrad 
Thibault  he  could  sing  and  who  trained 
him  thirteen  years  ago,  saw  Conrad  before 
the  mike  for  the  first  time  last  August.  The 
teacher  was  William  J.  Short,  supervisor 
of  music  in  the  Northampton  Public 
Schools.  Thirteen  years  ago  he  found 
Conrad  singing  at  his  work.  He  was  then 
seventeen  years  old  and  a  stock  clerk  in 
the  local  telephone  company. 

•  The  fellow  who  plays  the  part  of 
"Jack"  on  the  "One  Man's  Family"  pro- 
gram over  NBC  Saturday  nights,  is  the 
son  of  Don  Gilman,  vice  president  of  NBC's 
Pacific  Coast  division. 

•  Ireene  Wicker,  the  Singing  Lady  of 
NBC,  had  to  give  up  that  European  va- 
cation in  August.  It's  all  her  husband's 
fault,  for  Walter  has  written,  produced  and 


sold  a  new  radio  serial  titled  "Song  of  the 
City."  Ireene  is  now  playing  the  leading 
role  in  the  sketch  which  concerns  a  crip- 
pled girl  and  her  physician.  The  sponsor, 
Proctor  and  Gamble,  wanted  the  show  to 
start  the  middle  of  August  so  Ireene  had 
to  content  herself  with  a  trip  to  Bermuda. 

•  Alice  Joy,  radio's  Dream  Girl,  has 
transferred  her  radio  activities  to  Tulsa, 
Oklahoma,  for  a  couple  of  months. 

•  Sometimes  the  movies  aren't  all  the 
artists  expect.  Take,  for  example,  the  case 
of  Tito  Guizar,  CBS  Spanish  singer.  Tito 
went  to  Hollywood  to  play  with  Janette 
McDonald  in  "Bitter  Sweet"  and  wound 
up  by  making  a  Spanish  short.  Now  he's 
dissatisfied  with  the  short.  But  to  even 
matters,  he  got  seven  weeks  salary  for  nine 
days  work. 

•  One  of  the  most  beautiful  homes  in 
Glencoe,  swank  north  shore  suburb  of 
Chicago,  was  sold  recently,  but  the  iden- 
tity of  the  new  owner  was  kept  secret, 
at  least  so  far  as  the  neighbors  were  con- 
cerned. Then  one  day  a  chauffeur  in- 
formed his  employer  that  he  had  a  clew 
as  to  the  buyer.  "It's  an  English  lady.  A 
lady  with  a  title,"  he  confided.  "Is  that 
so,"  exclaimed  his  mistress.  "Did  you  get 
the  name?"  "Yes,  madame,"  the  chauf- 
feur informed  her.      "Lady  Esther." 

The  buyer  was  Miss  Syma  Cohen  who 
with  her  brother,  Alfred  Cohen  is  owner 
of  the  Lady  Esther  concern  for  which 
Wayne  King  broadcasts. 

•  Jack  Benny  switches  sponsors  again. 
But,  if  rumors  are  right,  it  will  be  only 
temporary.  October  7  or  14  will  see  Jack 
and  his  whole  cast  of  actors  and  singers 
on  NBC  at  7  p.m.  (EST)  Sundays  for 
Jello.  After  a  run  of  an  unannounced 
number  of  weeks,  he  will  again  go  back 
to  General  Tire,  the  sponsor  which  pre- 
sented him  throughout  the  summer. 

•  Camel  Cigarettes  will  present  the 
Casa  Loma  Orchestra,  Walter  O'Keefe, 
and  Annette  Hanshaw  on  two  CBS  spots 
beginning  this  month. 


Shake  Hands  with  a  Millionaire 


(Continued  from  page  33) 


as  he  now  thinks  he  should  have  gotten 
married  to  Clara  Bow — I  think  he'll  spend 
more  time  in  his  Beach  Hurst  and  Florida 
homes.  But  get  him  away  from  the  electric 
furor  and  fanfare  of  singing  on  the  air,  at 
nightclubs,  on  the  screen?  I  don't  be- 
lieve it. 

That's  Harry's  dream — and  he  means  it 
from  the  bottom  of  his  heart.  And  that 
dream  is  the  pay-off  on  Harry  Richman. 
It  shows  him  up.  It  shows  that  really  un- 
derneath it  all  he's  a  softy. 

Shake  hands  with  a  millionaire.  You've 
heard  him  sing  it.  You're  a  pretty  tough 
customer  if  you  don't  get  a  kick  out  of 
the  down-and-outer  who's  on  top  of  the 
world  because  he's  got  a  kid.  Harry  sings 
it  because  he  knows  that  song  touches  your 


heart.  But  there's  another  reason  why 
Harry  sings  that  song  and  songs  like  it. 

I  T'S  a  secret  that  even   Harry  doesn't 
know.  He  wants  a  family.  Kids.  That's 
a  fact,  folks. 

Many  years  ago  he  went  to  see  Charlie 
Chaplin  in  an  American  masterpiece,  "The 
Kid."  Jackie  Coogan  in  the  title  role- 
yes,  the  same  Jackie  who  today  is  run- 
ning around  Hollywood  with  Toby  Wing 
— touched  something  in  Harry  Richman. 
Harry  sat  in  that  theatre — he  admitted  it 
to  me  finally  the  other  night — and  got  a 
kick  that  nothing  in  his  life  had  ever  given 
him  before. 

He  got  an  idea,  too.  The  idea  was  "Dirty 
Hands,  Dirty  Face."    You  can't  have  for-

gotten  that  no  matter  how  long  ago  it  was. 
It  was  one  of  his  first  song  successes.  And 
it  was  a  success  not  only  because  Harry 
had  begun  to  learn  how  to  sing,  but  be- 
cause the  song  sprang  from  a  genuine, 
heartfelt  dream  inside  him.  The  dream 
of  having  a  kid.    His  kid. 

Then  came  "My  Kid,"  a  song  that  grew 
on  the  same  tree.  These  are  the  melodies 
he  loves  to  sing.  "Puttin'  on  the  Ritz"  is 
a  swell,  hot  tune  and  when  Harry  tilts 
his  straw  hat  over  his  ear  and  treads 
water  with  his  cane  it  gives  you  a  lift, 
but  nothing  like  the  lift  you  get  out  of 
"Shake  Hands  with  a  Millionaire,"  the 
grandson  of  "Dirty  Hands,  Dirty  Face." 

But  now  he  knows  that  not  marrying 
Clara  was  the  biggest  mistake  he  ever 
made.  Now  he  looks  back  on  his  long 
life  (he's  approaching  forty)  and  wonders 
if  that  dream  of  being  a  millionaire — actu- 
ally and  sentimentally — will  ever  come 
true.  He  remembers  how  he  ran  away 
from  Cincinnati  in  his  early  teens  because 
"I  was  tired  of  being  flattered  by  my 
mother.  She  thought  I  was  grand,  but 
nobody  else  did." 

When  the  "Jewel  City  Trio"  made  such 
a  hit  out  west  on  the  Orplieum  Circuit, 
he  thought  he  was  set.  His  act  was  named 
after  the  Tower  of  Jewels  at  the  Panama 
Exposition  in  San  Francisco  where  they'd 
gotten  their  start.  All  the  agents  wanted  to 
handle  them  and  circuits  wanted  to  book 
them.  Harry  visualized  his  name  in  elec- 
tric lights.  He  was  going  to  be  a  great 
star !  Then  they  came  to  New  York,  to 
the  Alhambra  Theatre,  the  best  in  those 
days. 

A  FTER  two  shows  they  were  finished. 

It  was  Harry's  biggest  disappointment 
and  took  him  two  years  to  get  over  it. 
But  in  order  to  make  a  living  he  teamed 
first  with  the  Dolly  Sisters  and  then  with 
Mae  West,  playing  the  piano  and  singing. 

Mae  West  and  Harry  Richman  split  up 
because  they  couldn't  get  work.  Mae  was 
asking  $750  for  their  act  and  the  bookers 
were  only  willing  to  go  to  $500.  Mae  said 
no.    So  did  the  bookers. 

He  reminisces  about  his  amazing  career 
and  yet  is  willing  to  say  that  he'll  throw 
it  all  away  the  moment  the  opportunity 
arises. 

A  New  York  columnist  hopes  he  has 
picked  that  opportunity  for  Harry.  She 
is  Joan  English,  who  played  in  the  Riviera 
show.  I've  met  her.  She's  a  smart  kid 
and  lovely  to  look  at.  The  columnist  saw 
a  ring  that  Harry  had  given  her  and  im- 
mediately concluded  it  was  an  engage- 
ment ring.  I  think  Harry's  pretty  crazy 
about  Joan  and  likes  to  give  her  presents. 
But  I  be.lieve  him  when  he  says :  "There's 
no  love  between  us,  or  anything  silly  like 
that." 

Harry  says  that  the  girl  he  marries  will 
have  more  intellect  than  beauty.  "But  of 
course,"  he  adds,  "she  must  have  a  beauti- 
ful figure.  Every  man  demands  that  of 
the  woman  he  marries." 

Me,  I  like  this  fellow  who's  a  combina- 
tion of  hardboiled  Broadway  patter  and 
sincerely  sentimental  visions.  When  he  re- 
grets not  having  married  Clara  Bow  I 
know  what  he  means.  He  wants  to  be  a 
millionaire,  sentimentally  and  financially, 
and  Clara  seems  to  have  been  the  only  girl 
who  brought  him  close  to  the  sentimental 
part  of  his  dream.

When  Your  Husband  Cheats 


THEY   were   married   when   Julia  was 
about  twenty. 

With  his  prize  won,  Tod  lost  some  of 
his  interest  in  her,  and  began  to  regret 
the  promises  he  had  made. 

Though  Julia  had  been  too  young  and 
unsophisticated  to  foresee,  it  was  only  nat- 
ural that  with  the  passing  of  months  the 
ex- jockey  should  revert  back  to  his  role 
of  playboy.  Still  Julia  clung  to  her  ideals 
of  what  marriage  might  mean;  still  she 
clung  to  the  hope  that  Tod  would  live  up 
to  everything  she  expected  of  him,  till  the 
day  came  when  she  could  no  longer  cling 
to  meaningless  illusions. 

Tod  had  been  unfaithful!  When  Julia 
Sanderson  learned  that,  the  world  reeled. 

VA/HAT  should  she  do?  Forgive  such  a 
"'man  and  say,  "There,  there,  little  boy, 
I  know  you've  done  wrong,  but  mama  will 
forget  everything?" 

Not  for  a  moment  did  Julia  Sanderson 
consider  anything  like  it.  Though  her  heart 
was  broken,  she  knew  what  it  would  mean 
to  forgive;  how  through  the  years  there'd 
be  one  indiscretion  after  another,  till  love 
turned  to  bitter  hatred. 

"I  won't  fight  to  hold  any  man!"  That 
was  the  answer  her  heart  gave  when  life 
flung  at  her  its  most  bitter  challenge. 

That  was  in  1908.   From  that  day  the 


(Continued  from  page  77) 

marriage  between  herself  and  Tod  Sloan 
was  as  if  it  had  never  been. 

"I  would  never  fight  to  hold  a  man — 
never!  If  a  man  is  unfaithful  once,  it's 
best  for  a  woman  to  make  one  good,  swift, 
clean  break,  and  try  to  forget  him. 

"I  don't  believe  for  a  minute  in  the  idea 
that  men  are  weaklings  who  ought  to  be 
forgiven  for  yielding  to  temptation,  and 
helped  over  the  rough  spots.  I've  worked 
with  men  on  the  stage  and  in  radio  since 
I  was  fourteen,  and  I've  never  noticed  that 
they're  such  a  lot  of  weaklings.  Person- 
ally, I  don't  like  weak  men.  I'd  rather 
have  a  strong  man  to  lean  on  than  a  weak 
one  whom  I  have  to  pull  up." 

A  FTER  her  first  bitterly  unhappy  mar- 
,  riage,  Julia  declared  she'd  never  marry 
again.  But  of  course  that  was  only  a 
passing  phase.  No  girl  as  beautiful  as  Julia 
can  possibly  mean  it  when  she  says  that  she 
is  through  with  love.  And  so  she  married 
again.  It  was  a  gorgeous  naval  wedding, 
with  swords  and  gold  lace.  The  bridegroom 
was  Bradford  Barnette,  a  naval  lieutenant 
whom  she  had  met  at  tea  on  board  a  United 
States  battleship. 

About  that  marriage  no  one  knows  very 
much,  except  that  once  again  Julia  and 
her  husband  were  hopelessly  incompatible. 
Once  again  she  answered  life's  challenge, 


"I  will  not  fight  to  hold  any  man !" 

Julia  had  been  separated  from  Lieuten- 
ant Barnette  for  four  years  when  she  met 
Frank  Crumit.  He,  too,  knew  what  disillu- 
sionment meant,  for  his  own  marriage  iiad 
mocked  his  dreams  and  hopes. 

It  wasn't  long  before  she  and  Frank 
Crumit  became  a  popular  musical  comedy 
team,  and  in  their  plays  together,  Frank 
fed  the  flames  of  their  unrealized  love. 
Gradually  into  his  words  and  into  his  love- 
making  on  the  stage  there  crept  something 
real  and  vital. 

In  July,  1927.  they  were  married.  No 
mere  young  infatuation  in  this,  but  the  love 
that  comes  with  mature  years,  deep,  thrill- 
ing and  satisfying.  Yet,  though  she  adores 
Frank  Crumit,  Julia  Sanderson  still  says, 
"No,  I  wouldn't  fight  to  hold  any  man's 
love,  not  even  Frank's.  Though  it's  incon- 
ceivable to  me  that  he  should  ever  be  un- 
faithful, if  he  were,  I  would  never  forgive 
him.  I  know  he  wouldn't  forgive  me  if  I 
were.  If  two  people  can't  love  and  trust 
each  other,  their  marriage  is  meaningless, 
and  infidelity  is  the  breaking  of  every  vow 
that  was  ever  made  in  marriage. 

"I  won't  fight  to  hold  any  man!"  That's 
Julia  Sanderson's  answer  to  the  thought 
that  has  perhaps  occurred  to  almost  every 
woman.

How  My  Cinderella  Dreams  Came  True 


night  club  shows,"  my  friend  remarked. 
"Let's  go  up  and  see  him." 

There  were  a  lot  of  girls  up  in  that  small 
booking  office,  yet  Mr.  Pomeroy  singled  us 
out  and  let  many  of  the  others  go. 

That  was  how  I  found  myself  in  the 
chorus  lineup  once  again.  This  time  the 
show  was  at  a  Chinese-American  restau- 
rant on  Broadway,  the  Palais  D'Or. 

We  did  a  sort  of  Turkish  harem  num- 
ber which  made  quite  a  hit  with  the  diners. 
After  only  a  week  I  found  myself  with  a 
specialty  number  to  do. 

But  as  I  said  before,  I  learned  the  code 
of  the  theatre  when  I  lost  that  first  job 
with  Chester  Hale.  And  my  first  disap- 
pointment was  turned  to  good  luck  when 
Chester  Hale  returned  with  the  girls,  for 
he  sent  for  me  and  I  was  put  back  in  his 
show. 

IT  was  from  here  I  went  to  the  chorus  call 
I  for  George  White's  "Scandals"  when  he 
was  casting  that  show.  It  proved  to  be 
the  most  momentous  occasion  of  my  life 
for  it  was  in  this  show  that  I  met  Rudy 
Yallee  and  got  the  subsequent  chance  to 
sing  as  his  guest  over  the  radio  which 
brought  me  eventually  to  Hollywood  and 
my  present  Fox  movie  contract. 

I  guess  everybody  has  heard  that  song 
called  "Lovable."  That's  the  song  Rudy 
first  heard  me  sing.  There  were  still 
several   minutes  before  the  curtain  was 


(Continued  from  page  84) 

due  to  go  up.  While  standing  in  the 
wings  I  sang  one  of  the  tunes  from  the 
show,  which  the  orchestra  at  that  moment 
was  playing.  Unknown  to  me  Rudy  Val- 
lee  was  standing  just  behind  the  curtain  in 
the  first  wings,  as  he  usually  did  at  the 
beginning  of  the  show.  He  let  me  sing  a 
whole  chorus  before  he  said  anything,  then 
he  told  me  that  he  liked  my  voice. 

Since  this  was  at  Atlantic  City  we  were 
still  in  the  trial  stage.  The  girl  who  had 
become  an  overnight  star  with  the  opening 
of  the  show  had  suddenly  developed  a  case 
of  laryngitis  and  it  was  necessary  to  find 
someone  to  take  her  place.  Rudy  Vallee 
immediately  went  to  George  White  and 
suggested  that  White  give  me  a  try.  He 
listened  to  me,  but  I  guess  I  was  too 
nervous  to  justify. Mr.  Vallee's  opinion  of 
me.  At  any  rate  I  did  not  get  the  chance. 
However,  Rudy  told  me  to  buck  up  and 
start  learning  popular  songs  so  that  when 
he  found  a  chance  for  me  to  sing  some 
time  with  a  band  I  would  be  prepared. 

When  the  opportunity  did  come  during 
the  following  summer  engagement,  I  was 
ready. 

DUDY  is  a  marvelous  person.  He  has 
helped  me  as  would  the  most  sincere 
friend  any  girl  could  have,  and  he  has 
given  me  hope  and  encouragement  when  I 
felt  everything  going  against  me.  For 
more  than  once  I  have  felt  shaky  as  I 


stood  before  a  microphone  and  realized 
that  for  thousands  of  miles  people  every- 
where were  listening — and  criticizing. 

Of  course  that  was  the  beginning  of  a 
new  popularity  for  me.  Rudy  Vallee,  the 
most  famous  of  all  crooners,  had  chosen 
little  obscure  me  for  his  programs.  It 
meant  fan  letters  and  people  coming  to 
interview  me.  And  because  I  had  made  a 
hit  and  because  Rudy  has  always  said  he 
believed  I  had  dramatic  ability  as  well  as 
a  voice,  it  was  he  who  insisted  that  George 
White  cast  me  in  his  "Scandals"  when 
Fox  studio  made  the  movie  version. 

And  after  that  first  picture  I  was  cast 
in  several  others,  including  "Now  I'll  Tell" 
by  Mrs.  Arnold  Rothstein.  My  latest  pic- 
ture is  "She  Learned  About  Sailors." 

Then  I  found  myself  being  offered  a 
very  nice  picture  contract.  I  signed  it  and 
stayed  in  Hollywood  over  eight  months. 

It  seems  like  the  fulfillment  of  a  dream, 
yet  I  think  it  was  just  plain  luck — the 
right  girl  in  the  right  place  at  the  right 
time.  That's  the  way  I  like  to  think  of  it. 
Although  I  sometimes  admit  to  myself, 
when  I  am  alone  and  thinking  of  this 
wonderful  break  which  came  to  me  through 
radio,  that  if  I  had  given  up  any  of  the 
times  I  felt  blue  and  if  I  hadn't  hung  on 
for  just  another  moment  when  I  thought 
things  were  against  me,  I'd  still  be  in  the 
chorus  instead  of  the  girl  on  whom  so 
much  success  has  been  showered.

,N  his  youth  Prince  Dimitri  believed  all  people  were 
equal,  and  that  the  land  should  belong  to  everybody.  Katusha,  a 
peasant  servant  in  his  great  household,  believed  him  then,  and 
believed  in  him  again  when  years  later  he  begged  for  her  love. 
She  gave  herself,  gladly,  realizing  too  late  that  Dimitri,  the  man, 
looked  upon  her  love  as  something  to  be  purchased,  not  with  kind- 
ness and  affection,  but  with  money. 

She  tried  to  forget,  to  wipe  out  that  night  of  spring,  but  it  was 
many  years  after  his  child  had  died  before  she  found  the  tor- 
menting peace  of  a  forced  forgetfulness.  He  had  paid  for  the  love 
she  gave  him  .  .  .  now  she  sold  her  love  to  every  buyer. 

It  was  at  the  end  of  the  road,  in  court,  accused  of  murder,  that 
the  gay  Dimitri  finally  found  her  again  and  in  finding  her  remem- 
bered the  days  of  his  youth  .  .  .  remembered  the  tender  sweetness 
of  this  girl  whose  scorn  and  bitterness  now  followed  him  into  the 
bright,  free  world  outside.  He  knew,  then,  that  this  was  the  woman 
he  loved.  But  was  it  too  late?  Could  he  save  her  from  the  horrible 
living  death  of  Siberia?

M. . .  and  you  can 
actually  OVEN  BAKE 
in  these  pretty 
TABLE  DISHES!" 


X 


THAT'S  the  marvel  of  these  Oven- 
Serve  table  dishes.  Every  single  piece 
can  be  used  in  the  oven!  All  the  bowls  and 
serving  dishes,  platters  and  saucy  indi- 
vidual French  casseroles,  the  pie  plates 
and  custard  cups— even  the  cups,  saucers 
and  plates — stand  oven  heat,  oven  baking. 
The  dishes  don't  get  that  brown,  cooked 
look  either.  They  don't  "craze."  The 
bright  sunny  yellow  color  remains  fresh 
and  new  looking. 

Is  it  beans  for  dinner?  Then  ovenbake 
them  in  the  individual  bean  pots.  Or  how 
about  a  baked  meat  dish  or  scalloped  veg- 
etables, or  any  one  of  a  dozen,  or  a  hun- 
dred, other  things?  Cook  them  in  these 
dishes  and  whisk  them  from  oven  to  table 
in  the  s?ir.e  dishes.  Simplifies  serving  enor- 
mously .  .  .  not  to  mention  the  way  it  cuts 
down  on  the  dishwashing. 

And  OvenServe  dishes  are  simple  to 
wash,  too.  No  scraping;  no  scouring;  just 
hot  water,  soap  and  the  dishmop. 

Cost  a  lot?  No,  ma'am!  Just  a  fraction 
of  the  cost  of  the  kitchen  ovenwares  you 
know  about.  And  OvenServe  dishes  have 
the  added  advantage  of  being  table  dishes, 
not  kitchen  ware.  Buy  them  by  the  piece.

were  driving  me 

CRAZY! 


•  I  suffered  intensely  from  sick  head- 
aches for  years  — until  I  wished  my  head 
would  open  to  relieve  the  pain.  Nothing 
seemed  to  help  the  constipation  that 
caused  them.  When  I  was  visiting  my 
sister-in-law  in  Tacoma  she  gave  me  her 
favorite  medicine,  FEEN-A-MINT.  I  feel 
duty  bound  to  let  you  know  what  a  help 
FEEN-A-MINT  has  been.  It  cleansed  out 
my  system  wonderfully  — all  the  poisons 
went.  And  it  keeps  me  so  regular  that  I 
am  a  new  woman.  It  doesn't  cramp  or 
gripe  a  person  either.  I've  told  all  my 
friends  about  ,-t. 

The  easy,  pleasant  way  to  combat 
constipation 

Typical  of  hundreds  of  unsolicited  letters  in 
our  files!  Over  15,000,000  men  and  women  have 
found  that  FEEN-A-MINT  is  the  easy,  pleasant 
way  to  combat  constipation  and  all  its  attend- 
ant ills.  It  is  thorough  and  at  the  same  time 
gentle.  Pleasant  to  take  —  children  think  it's 
just  nice  chewing  gum.  Because  you  chew  it,  it 
works  more  thoroughly  than  ordinary  laxatives. 
Try  it  and  see — 15  and  25rf  at  any  druggist's.

ing.

and  daddy  to  a  little  girl.  Remember 
that  story  in  last  month's  Radio 
Stars  about  them  wanting  to  adopt 
a  baby?  Well,  that's  what  they  did. 
They  adopted  a  four-weeks-old  baby 
on  September  18,  and  named  her 
Sandra  Jane.

Jack  Smart  is  radio's  versatile

Four  years  ago  Jack  had  his  fir

As  so  often  is  the  case,  with  that 
gure  goes  the  jolly  nature  of  a 
riendly,  humorous  and  talkative 
erson. 

Although  his  voice  can  he  that  of 
cat,  a  dog,  a  horse  or  even  a  crowd, 
ack's  specialty  is  the  Scotch  dialect. 
Performers  around  the  studios  recall 
he  night  the  Fred  Allen  show  went 
>n  the  air  for  the  first  time  and  Jack 
)layed  the  part  of  a  Scotch  merchant. 
The  imitation  was  so  real  and  the 
situation  of  his  jokes  so  pointed,  that 
?red  Allen,  standing  hefore  the  mike, 
)roke  out  in  a  laugh  which  wasn't 
supposed  to  he  on  the  program. 

\  favorite  joke  of  his  is  to  answer 
he  telephone  in  that  Scotch  dialect 
■oice.  And  if  the  caller  hasn't  heen 
varned  in  advance,  he's  due  for  a  lot 
if  stammering  and  stuttering  before 
le  finds  out  that  it's  only  Jack  hav- 
ng  his  fun. 

Right  now,  Jack  is  storming 
Town  Hall"  as  the  wisecracking- 
Cousin  Willowby.  You  know,  the 
ife  of  the  party  who  tells  those  gosh- 
iwful  jokes  that  land  like  a  load  of 
oncrete. 

You'll  probably  not  be  surprised  at 
all  to  learn  that  Jack  doesn't  have  a 
radio  in  his  home.  Not  because  it's 
too  reminiscent  of  work,  but  because 
a  friend  borrowed  it.  And  hasn't  re- 
turned it.  That  has  been  months  ago, 
so  Jack's  tiny  red  headed  wife  must 
>print  to  the  studios  any  time  she 
wants  to  listen  to  the  funny  man. 

Lately,  he  has  expressed  a  weak- 
ness for  sail  boats.  He  just  bought 
a  new  one.  And  if  his  230  pounds 
aren't  too  much  for  such  a  craft, 
Jack  threatens  to  show  New  York  a 
tew  records  next  spring  that  will 
turn  both  English  and  American 
captains  pink. 

Off  duty,  Jack  is  both  an  artist  and 
a  cook.  You're  apt  to  find  him  dab- 
bling in  either  any  time  you  drop  in 
at  his  home. 

(Below)  A  close-up  of  the  favor- 
He  funny  man,  two-hundred-and- 
thirty-pound  Jack  Smart,  the 
man  with   one   hundred  voices. 


er  LIPS  WON  HIM 


FROM  ANOTHER 


Natural  lips  win... 
painted  lips  lose! 

SOFT  lips.  Nice  lips.  Never  conspicuous 
with  jarring  red  paint.  Simply  alluring 
with  rosy  color  that  looks  as  though  it  was 
her  own ! 

Men  say  time  and  again  that  they  cannot 
stand  the  painted-mouth  habit.  Yet  they  are 
the  first  to  admit  that  pale  lips  are  equally 
unattractive.  So,  to  be  your  loveliest,  you 
should  color  your  lips  without  painting  them. 
Sounds  impossible  but  it  can  be  done  by  using 
the  lipstick  that  isn't  paint.  This  lipstick, 
known  as  Tangee,  intensifies  the  natural  color 
now  in  your  lips  ! 

LOOKS  ORANGE— ACTS  ROSE 

In  the  stick  Tangee  looks  orange.  On  your 
lips,  it's  rose.  Not  a  jarring  red.  But  a  glowing 
shade  of  blush-rose  most  natural  for  your 
type.  Don't  be  fooled  by  imitative  orange- 
colored  lipsticks:  Tangee  contains  the  original 
and  exclusive  color-change  principle  that 
enables  it  to  color  lips  beautifully,  naturally. 

Cheeks  must  not  look  painted,  either. 
Tangee  Rouge  gives  same  natural 
color  as  Lipstick.  In  new  refllable  gun- 
metal  case.  Buy  Tangee  refills,  save  money. 


Tangee's  special  cream  base  soothes  and  softens 
dry,  chapped  lips.  Goes  on  smoothly  .  .  .  be- 
comes a  very  part  of  your  lips,  not  a  coating. 
Get  Tangee  in  39c  and  $110  sizes.  Also  in 
Theatrical,  a  deeper  shade  for  professional  use. 
Or  for  quick  trial,  send  10c  for  4-Piece  Miracle 
Make-Up  Set,  Containing  Tangee  Lipstick, 
Rouge  Compact,  Creme  Rouge  and  Face  Powder.

THE  feminine  sex  must  be  particu- 
larly careful  in  the  choice  of  a 
laxative. 

Women  should  avoid  a  laxative 
that  is  too  strong  —  that  shocks  the 
system  —  that  weakens.  They  should 
avoid  laxatives  that  are  offered  as 
cure-alls  —  treatments  for  a  thousand 
ills.  A  laxative  is  intended  for  one 
purpose  only— to  relieve  constipation. 

Ex-Lax  is  offered  for  just  what  it 
is — a  gentle,  effective  laxative. 

Ex-Lax  is  effective — but  it  is  mild. 
It  acts  gently  yet  thoroughly.  It  works 
over-night  without  over-action. 

Ex-Lax  will  not  form  a  habit — 
you  take  it  just  when  you  need  a 
laxative.  You  don't  have  to  keep  on 
increasing  the  dose  to  get  results. 


For  28  years,  Ex-Lax  has  had  the 
confidence  of  doctors,  nurses,  drug- 
gists and  the  general  public  alike, 
because  it  is  everything  a  laxative 
ought  to  be. 

Children  like  to  take  Ex-Lax  be- 
cause they  love  its  delicious  choco- 
late flavor.  Grown-ups,  too,  prefer 
to  take  Ex-Lax  because  they  have 
found  it  thoroughly  effective— with- 
out the  disagreeable  after-effects  of 
harsh,  nasty-tasting  laxatives. 

At  all  drug  stores— in  10c  and  25c 

boxes. 

BEWARE  OF  IMITATIONS! 

Get  genuine  Ex-Lax  —  spelled 
E-X-L-A-X  — to  make  sute  of 
getting  Ex-Lax  results.

Pickford?

j  guess  the  age  of  our  ever-youthful  Mary 
You  can  hear  her  over  NBC,  Wednesday  at  8  p.  m. 


DON'T  GROW  OLD.  And  if  you  don't  believe  it's 
possible  to  keep  young,  just  take  a  glance  at  America's 
Sweetheart  on  the  left.  Mary  Pickford  thrilled  your 
mothers  and  dads  and  she's  still  thrilling  young  moderns. 
She  will  never  see  twenty,  thirty — or  forty  again — yet 
her  face  is  without  lines  and  her  skin  is  as  smooth  and 
delicate  as  a  rose  petal. 

Gifts  of  nature,  says  you.  But  actually  it  is  simply 
good  care  combined  with  skillful  and  judicious  use  of 
make  up.  Every  single  one  of  you  can  have  a  healthy 
and  youthful  skin. 

Considering  the  treatment  it  gets,  it  isn't  any  wonder 
that  there  are  more  problems  with  the  skin  and  its  care 
than  all  the  other  beauty  problems  put  together.  Just 
stop  a  moment  and  think  how  many  times  in  the  last 
month  you  have  hopped  into  bed  at  night  without  going 
through  the  creaming  and  cleansing  routine  to  remove  the 
grime  from  your  pores.  Oh,  you  don't  have  to  offer 
excuses.  I  know,  you  were  so-o-o  sleepy.  And  I'll  wager 
there  isn't  one  of  you  who  isn't  guilty  of  slapping  on  fresh 
makeup  over  the  old  when  you  are  in  a  hurry.  In  fact 
how  many  times  have  you  noticed  (and  done  it  yourself!) 
a  girl  take  elaborate  pains  in  putting  powder,  rouge  anc 
lipstick  on  a  face  that  has  already  suffered  severa 
previous  layers. 

It's  these  things  that  give  you  enlarged  pores  whicl 
make  your  skin  look  muddy  and  middle-aged,  for  th< 
pores  become  clogged  with  oil,  dust  and  the  makeu] 
you've  ground  into  your  skin.  Next  thing  you  know 
you've  got  blackheads,  which  result  in  other  blemishes 

All  of  you  realize  without  being  told  that  cosmetic 
make  a  marvelous  protection  for  the  skin,  besides  cover 
ing  up  defects  and  enhancing  good  points.  But  by  al 
means  apply  it  on  a  clean,  fresh  skin.  Give  your  make 
up  and  yourself  a  break. 

A  method  of  cleansing  that  I've  found  effective  is  til 
pat  gobs  of  cream  over  the  chest,  neck  and  face.  Then 
with  very  gentle  fingertip  tapping,  begin  with  the  chesl 
and  work  up  to  the  throat,  under  the  chin  and  finall; 
do  your  face. 

While  the  cream  is  still  on,  place  the  chin  in  the  pair 
of  your  left  hand  with  the  fingertips  pointing  towar 
the  right  ear.  Now  move  your  hand  towards  the  lef 
ear  until  the  fingertips  touch  the  ear.  Be  sure  the  mid 
die  finger  and  center  of  palm  follow  the  bony  structur 
of  the  jaw.  Alternate  exercise  with  right  hand.  Do  thi 
a  dozen  times  each  night  and  you  will  prevent  any  unde 
chin  flabbiness.  If  it's  already  too  late  for  the  ounce  o 
prevention,  you  will  be  delighted  at  the  improvement  tfo 
will  result  within  a  few  weeks. 

To  erase  eye  and  brow  wrinkles  try  resting  the  chi . 
in  the  palms  of  your  hands  with  the  middle  finger  c 
each  hand  pressed  between  the  corners  of  the  eyes  an

nose.  Lightly  move  the  hands  out- 
ward to  the  hairline  with  the  cush- 
ions of  the  middle  fingers  following 
the  line  over  the  closed  lids  or 
brows.  Press  the  fingertips  firmly 
([over  temples.  Relax  hands  and  re- 
peat exercise  several  times.  Always 
use  a  rotary  movement  around  the 
eyes. 

Use  tissues  to  remove  the  cream 
— dozens  of  them,  they're  inexpen- 
sive and  efficient.  Besides,  in  using 
tissues,  the  skin  will  not  become  ir- 
ritated as  it  sometimes  does  when 
the  cream  is  removed  with  a  towel 
or  cloth. 

To  get  the  best  results  in  skin 
care,  first  determine  the  kind  of  skin 
you  have.  You  can  analyze  it  your- 
self. Some  morning  when  you  get 
up  a  few  minutes  early  take  a  mag- 
nifying hand  mirror  (you  can  get 
one  at  the  "Five  and  Ten"  if  you 
haven't  one)  to  the  window  and  ex- 
amine your  skin.  Find  out  whether 
it's  normal,  dry  or  oily.  Most  of  you 
will  decide  it's  none  of  these,  but 
rather  dry  in  spots  with  a  shiny  path 
stretching  from  your  forehead  to 
chin.  However,  with  proper  care 
these  defects  won't  last  long. 

I F  you  are  lucky  enough  to  have 
I  a  normal  skin,  you  won't  have 
much  to  worry  about.  You  can 
cleanse  it  any  way  you  please  just  as 
long  as  you  are  thorough  about  the 
job.  Cream  it  a  couple  of  times. 
Once  to  remove  the  top  layers  of 
grime,  and  again  to  cleanse  deeply 
into  the  pores.  Wash  with  warm 
water  and  soap  after  the  creamings, 
splash  on  cold  water,  dry  and  finish 
up  with  a  skin  bracer. 

You  people  with  the  oily  skin, 
for  all  your  grumblings,  are  still 
the  most  fortunate,  despite  the  hard 
time  you  have  keeping  your  nose 
from  shining  like  a  beacon,  and  get- 
ing  blackheads  as  a  result  of  piling 
on  layers  of  powder.

SMART  GIRL?,.. YOU  BET! 
I  FOUND  HOW  TO  GET  RID  OF 
"TATTLE-TALE  GRAY" 


YES  INDEED  I  If  you  want  to  keep 
"tattle-tale  gray"  out  of  your  clothes — 
that  dull,  foggy  look  that  says  dirt  is  still 
hiding  in  them  in  spite  of  all  your  work — 
it's  smart  to  change  to  Fels-Naptha  Soap! 

For  that  big  busy  bar  brings  you  two 
cleaners  instead  of  one!  Richer  golden  soap 
working  hand-in-hand  with  lots  of  naptha. 
A  combination  that  hustles  out  every  tiny 
bit  of  dirt  and  gives  your  clothes  a 
brighter,  sweeter  whiteness'. 

Unlike  "trick  soaps"  or  "cheap"  soaps, 
Fels-Naptha  is  gentle.  It  washes  every- 
thing beautifully — silkstockings,  lingerie, 
woolens.  Fels-Naptha  holds  soothing  glyc- 
erine, too.  So  it's  specially  nice  to  hands. 

Fels-Naptha  is  a  wonder  for  soaking  or 
boiling  clothes.  It  works  splendidly  in 
tub,  basin  or  washing  machine. 

Fels-Naptha  now  sells  at  the  lowest 
price  in  almost  20  years.  Get  some  at

chock-full  of  lively  golden  soap  and  naptha. 
The  dirt  simply  hurried  away.  And  talk 
about  gentle!  I  gave  these  lace  panties  a 
Fels-Naptha  dousing  and  they  washed  up  as 
pretty  as  new."

whiter  shirt?  Why,  my  clothes  all  shine  like 
snow.  Everything  smells  sweeter,  too. You  bet 
I'm  smart!  I  wouldn't  dream  of  doing  another 
wash  with  anything  but  Fels-Naptha."

their  farm  pay.  (Right)  A  favorite  pet  is  this  great  Pyrenees

LOWELL  THOMAS  showed  me  the  eighth  wonder  of 
the  world.  We  spent  a  day  together  looking  it  over. 
You've  seen  it  in  your  own  life — and  if  you  haven't,  this 
story  will  tell  you  where  to  find  it. 

Neither  you  nor  I  have  cracked  the  oyster  of  adventure 
as  successfully  as  this  clear-eyed,  stocky  gentleman  who 
finds  "books  in  the  running  brooks,  sermons  in  stone 
and  good  copy  in  everything." 

Perhaps  our  lives  are  too  dull  and  work-a-day  to  make 
possible  so  profound  a  discovery  as  his.  Perhaps  the 
eighth  wonder  of  the  world,  close  at 
hand,  is  really  no  wonder  at  all  to  us — 
simply  because  we  haven't  seen  the 
seven  wonders  and  so  through  lack  of 
contrast  have  failed  to  get  a  kick  out  of 
life  where  it'll  do  us  the  most  good. 

Listen.  This  fellow  who  every  eve- 
ning brings  the  news  to  you,  stirringly 
interpreted,  may  be  only  a  clear,  resonant  voice  offering 
you  an  hors  d'oeuvre  or  a  liqueur  for  your  mundane  sup- 
per, but  when  you  know  the  real  man  behind  that  voice, 
you'll  understand  more  clearly  the  authority  of  the 
vibrant  diction  which  brings  to  life  what  have  been  mere 
names  in  newspapers  until  Lowell  Thomas  got  his  hooks 
into  them. 

Thomas  has  seen  the  wonders  of  the  world.  At  forty- 
two  he  has  a  life  history  that  makes  dullards  of  us  all. 
He  started  as  chief  of  the  civilian  mission  sent  to 
Europe  by  President  Wilson   to  prepare  an  historical 


record  of  the  World  War.  In  that  job  he  was  to  visii 
every  front  and  report  to  the  people  of  America.  H( 
did.  He  was  attached  in  turn  to  the  Belgian,  French 
Italian,  Serbian,  British  and  the  .American  armies.  Whili 
with  the  Italians  he  explored  the  Alps,  the  Asiago  Plateau 
the  reaches  of  the  Piave  River.  The  Near  East  drev 
him  next  and  the  British  government  sent  a  ship  to  carr; 
him  to  Cairo  so  that  he  could  join  General  Allenby,  ii 
charge  of  the  Allied  forces  there.  One  of  his  favorit 
gags  is  that  in  forty  minutes  he  flew  the  distance  whicl 
it  took  the  Children  of  Israel  fort 
years  to  traverse. 

To  be  historian  of  the  Palestin 
Campaign  was  not  enough.  He' 
heard  of  the  mysterious  Englis 
officer  who  had  succeeded  in  uni 
ing  the  Arabian  tribes  against  th 
Turks  and  thereby  putting  a  $250 
000  price  on  his  head.  General  Allenby  arranged  fc 
Thomas  to  join  this  mysterious  gentleman — the  famov 
T.  E.  Lawrence.  And  so  Lowell  Thomas  became  hi: 
torian  of  the  Arabian  revolution  which  sent  him  c 
dangerous  campaigns  through  the  desert,  led  him  inl 
weird  adventures  in  the  rock  city  of  Petra  and  put  hi 
in  close  contact  with  Lawrence  himself,  that  Quixot 
leader  of  an  alien  race. 

After  the  war,  instead  of  returning  to  America,  1 
went  from  France  to  Germany  to  study  that  crisi 
ridden  country  in  the  midst  of   a  bloody  revolutio

is  findings  were  reported  to  the  Peace  Conference. 

Then  followed  a  more  civilized  adventure  in  the 
eatre — a  successful  run  at  the  Century  Theatre  in  New 
ork  of  his  film,  a  pictorial  description  of  his  Palestine 
id  Arabian  experiences  with  Allenby  and  Lawrence, 
resented  to  the  accompaniment  of  a  magnificent  sym- 
ptom- orchestra.  So  impressive  was  the  film  that  an 
nbitious  impresario  persuaded  him  to  bring  his  show 
)  London  where  it  had  a  run  of  many  months. 

Two  years  later  the  American  government  asked  him  to 
.cord  the  first  flight  around  the  world.  He  could  not 
lake  the  whole  trip,  but  joined  them  as  soon  as  possible 
nd  became  historian  of  the  project.  Incidentally,  he 
eveloped  a  mad  passion  for  flying  which  resulted  in  him 
nd  his  wife  taking  a  25.000  mile  airplane  flight  in  1926 
nd  1927.  They  covered  twenty-one  countries  in  Europe, 
vsia.  and  North  Africa — the  longest  passenger  air 
■  uirney  up  to  that  time.  The  avowed  purpose  was  to 
tudy  international  development  in  aviation,  but  the  real 
ignificance  of  the  trip  to  Thomas  was  that  he  secured 
he  finest  collection  of  airplane  photographs  in  this  country 
nd  wrote  another  book,  "European  Skyways." 

FHE  love  for  adventure  was  implanted  in  Thomas  bv 
the  man  who  influenced  him  more  than  any  other.  That 
nan  was  his  father,  Harry  George  Thomas,  a  surgeon

THIS  IS  a  dangerous  story.  It  is  not  an  easy  one  to 
write.  When  nine  women  are  chosen  by  a  group,  no 
matter  how  thoughtfully  they  may  have  been  selected, 
there  is  bound  to  be  dissension.  So,  if  you  should  dis- 
agree with  this  list,  remember,  it  was  not  compiled  by  one 
person. 

First  I  went  to  an  important  broadcasting  executive. 
He  stared  at  me.  A  smile  played  about  the  corners  of  his 
usually  grave  lips.  "The  nine  biggest  women  in  radio," 
he  said.  "Why  .  .  .  Kate  Smith !  Seriously,  and  no  pun 
intended,  that's  a  large  order."  His  pencil  drummed  on 
the  desk.  "A  large  order,"  he  repeated,  "So  please 
don't  quote  me." 

And  he  sent  me  to  another  executive.  It  began  in  just 
that  way.  I  went  from  one  radio  chain  to  another — and 
back  again.  Finally,  after  talking  to  executives,  press 
agents  and  the  Editor  of  Radio  Stars,  the  following  list 
was  created. 

When  a  Columbia  official  raves  about  NBC  players, 
and  NBC  picks  Columbia's  stars,  that's  news!  It  was 
Columbia  who  said  NBC's  Bertha  Brainard  and  Jessica 
Dragonette  should  positively  be  on  the  list.  It  was 
NBC  who  voted  for  Columbia's  Gracie  Allen  and  Kate 
Smith.  Thus  those  four  head  the  list.  Let's  analyze 
them,  and  find  out  why. 

Kate  Smith  is  unique.  There  has  never  been  anyone 
like  her  on  radio.  She  is  a  definite  part  of  it  ...  a  lady 
singer  whose  hearty  warbling  sold  cigars !  Her  voice 
became  a  comfort  to  shut-ins.  She  is  the  hope  of  the 
American  wallflower.  In  her  own  slow,  good-natured, 
elephantine  way  she  is  amazing,  this  Kate  Smith,  who 
never  took  a  singing  lesson,  but  held  an  audience  spell 
bound  as  she  sang  an  aria  from  "Samson  and  Delilah," 
while  Philadelphia's  great  Stokowski  conducted  the 
orchestra.    This  same  Kate  Smith  whose  bulk  grew  to 

16 


be  the  butt  of  so  many  jokes  that  it  built  her  a  profitabl 
publicity  mountain  of  laughs.  Her  weight  is  to  radi 
circles  what  the  Ford  car  was  to  the  auto  industry.  Sh 
may  wince  at  the  laughter,  but  it  is  kindly  and  has  helpe 
her  to  become  a  national  figure. 

You  cannot  fake  over  the  air.  Radio  audiences  sens 
sincerity.  They  love  Kate  Smith,  love  her  for  her  simpl 
cheer.  If  there  is  any  secret  to  her  success,  then  tha 
is  it.  Men,  women,  children,  they  all  love  her.  She  i 
the  Edgar  Guest  of  song. 

HOPPING  over  to  Radio  City,  we  take  a  look  at  Jessie, 
Dragonette.  Jessica — blond,  lovely,  fragile  Jessica 
whose  first  public  appearance  was  in  Max  Rheinhardt' 
"Miracle,"  where,  at  every  performance,  she  was  obligee 
to  hide  behind  painted  clouds  and  sing  the  angel's  song 
Jessica,  who  of  her  own  accord,  gave  up  a  profitable 
Broadway  musical  comedy  career  in  order  to  gamble  ii 
what  was  then  the  new  and  shaky  field  of  radio.  She 
was  one  of  the  first  to  bring  the  musical  comedy  to  thi 
microphone.  When  she  broadcasts  Miss  Dragonette  be- 
haves as  if  she  were  standing  before  the  footlights.  She 
puts  on  a  stage  makeup,  wears  an  evening  gown  and  use.- 
gestures  while  she  sings.  Jessica  joins  radio's  great 
because  she  brought  it  that  indefinable  quality  callet 
glamor. 

There  you  have  Jessica  and  Kate,  contrasts,  but  equalh 
important. 

Now,  Columbia  again  .  .  .  and  .  .  .  Gracie  Allen.  She 
may  be  light,  she  may  be  flimsy,  but  she  too  has  hetf 
definite  place.  Gracie  Allen  is  without  a  doubt  the  fore- 
most of  all  radio  comediennes.  She  set  the  style  for 
Portland  Hoffa,  for  Mary  Livingston.  Here  again  radir 
proved  its  microscopic  tendencies.  For  years  Burns  and 
Allen  had  been  in  vaudeville  and  for  years  Gracie  rattled

off  the  same  sort  of  nonsense  she  gives  you  over  the  air. 
Yes.  vaudeville  audiences  laughed  at  her.  They  laughed 
politely.  But  they  never  laughed  the  way  the  radio  public 
did  after  they  once  heard  that  funny  little  voice  of  hers. 
Radio  does  things  wholeheartedly  and  never,  never  by 
halves.  It  picked  up  that  voice,  tossed  it  into  the  air, 
chuckled  over  it,  adored  it,  and  made  Gracie  Allen  the 
queen  of  goofiness.  If  there  is  a  why  to  it  all,  here  it  is: 
The  average  person  likes  to  think  he  is  smart.  Gracie 
Allen  never  fails  to  give  him  this  opportunity.  She  caters 
to  the  superiority  complex  in  every  audience.  They  love 
to  catch  her  mistakes  ...  to  anticipate  them  ...  to  out- 
smart her.  She  is  the  sop  for  their  conceit  and  Gracie 
Allen,  with  one  of  the  keenest  minds  in  radio,  knows  this. 
Contrary  to  the  nutty  character  she  portrays,  she  is  no- 
body's fool  and  well  deserves  her  place  among  the  fir.st  nine. 

Next  we  have  NBC's  Bertha  Brainard.  She's  been  in 
radio  since  the  beginning,  since  the  days  when  she  wrote 
and  broadcast  play  reviews  for  a  local  station.  Through 
its  various  stages  she  has  watched  this  fantastic  industry 
grow  and  personally  helped  to  nurture  it.  As  her  offices 
changed,  so  the  industry  developed.  She  has  seen  and 
actively  participated  in  every  phase.  There  were  the 
exciting  old  days  on  WJZ  when  she  had  to  announce, 
arrange  programs,  substitute  for  the  star  who  failed  to 
show  up,  persuade  a  star  to  show  up,  write  last  minute 
bits  and  find  talent.  Now,  barricaded  by  secretaries,  she 
sits  in  her  Radio  City  office,  creates  new  ideas,  casually 
telephones  the  coast,  suggests  talent,  discovers  proteges, 
and,  in  short,  is  program  director  for  the  National 
Broadcasting  Company. 

THIS  Brainard  lady  is  a  surprise.    She  does  not  re- 
semble a  woman  executive.    She  is  slim,  and  blue-eye  1 
and  red  haired,  in  fact  looks  (Continued  on  page  97)

MARTY,  AS  CLUB  MAID,  gives  a  good 
performance  when  she  tells  Jane  to 
use  Ivory  Flakes  for  her  stockings 
just  as  fine  stores  advise. 

Good  stores  do  tell  you  to  use 
Ivory  Flakes  for  your  stockings. 
And  here's  why:  The  sheer  silk  of 
stockings  is  very  sensitive.  It  needs 
a  pure  soap.  Ivory  Flakes  are  so  pure 
that  both  the  makers  and  sellers  of 
fine  stockings  recommend  them. 
These  people  know  silk.  They  like  the 
way  Ivory  Flakes  are  shaved  up  into 
tiny,  curly  wisps,  too.  Ivory  Flakes 
won't  flatten  down  on  your  stockings 
to  cause  soap  spots  and  runs! 

And  here's  a  thought  for  you  thrifty 
girls— Ivory  Flakes  cost  less  than  other 
"silk  stocking"  soaps.  There  are  lots 
more  ounces  in  the  box!  Just  hold  on 
to  that  thought  and  the  next  time 
you're  at  your  grocer's  merely  say,  "A 
box  of  Ivory  Flakes,  please."

YOU  hear  a  lot  al>out  what  radio  means  to 
men  and  women  in  small,  out-of-the-way 
places ;  to  farmers'  wives  in  desolate  coun- 
try hamlets,  and  shut-ins,  and  lonely  old 
people.  Yes,  it's  all  true.  It  brings  glamor  and 
romance  and  vicarious  thrills  to  all  of  them,  at  the 
turn  of  a  dial. 

It's  the  Aladdin's  I^amp — the  Magic  Carpet — that 
transj)orts  you  to  a  glittering,  wonderful  world  a 
million  miles  away  from  the  humdrum  of  daily  living 
— until  the  program  ends!    Don't  we  all  know  it  ? 

But  it  meant  a  lot  more  than  that  to  me,  Myra 
Gorman.  (That's  what  I'll  call  myself,  since  I  can't 
use  my  own  name.)  It  meant  a  burning  ambition,  a 
hunger  that  never  let  up,  to  shake  the  dust  of  my  little 
Missouri  home  town  from  my  feet  and  make 
that   distant,  glamorous   world  mine. 

I  didn't  want  just  "out,"  either. 
I    hadn't    any    dreams  about 
Hollywood,  or  the  stage,  or 
any  ordinary  career  in  a  big 
city.    I  wanted  just  one 
tiling  from  the  time  I 
was  sixteen  and  dis- 
covered   I    had  a 
t  h  r  o  b  b  y  contralto 
voice  'that  people 
wanted  to  listen  to. 
I  wanted  to  stand 
behind  the  mike  in 
one  of  the  biggest 
broadcasting  studios, 
in  the  country  an</ 
sing  to  a  million  peo 
pie  who'd  been  wait- 
ing all  day  to  tune  in 
on  Myra  Gorman ! 

A  simple  little  ambition, 
wasn't  it,   for  a  corn-fed 
country  girl  who  hadn't  any- 
thing to  offer  but  average  good 
looks  and  a  voice  with  a  sob  in  it. 
But  I  made  it  come  true.    I  sacrificed 
everything  and  everybody — and,  God  know>. 
my  own  peace  and  happiness,  too — to  get  what  I 
wanted. 

But  this  time  just  a  year  ago  a  Myra  Gorman,  who 
wasn't  a  corn-fed  country  girl  any  more,  was  standing 
behind  the  mike  in  a  white  satin  dress  that  cost  more 
than  Dad  ever  cleared  on  corn  and  hogs  in  a  year, 
sending  her  voice  over  one  of  the  biggest  networks 
in  the  country ! 

Well,  I've  still  got  the  dress  .  .  . 

I've  wondered,  since,  just  how  far  my  ambition 
and  my  blues-singer  voice  would  have  taken  me  if  I 
hadn't  taken  that  job  in  Seeley's  Music  Store  the 
summer  I  finished  High.  Chance  plays  a  big  part  in 
every  career.  I'm  not  the  only  girl  who's  gone  on 
the  air  to  have  found  that  out!  For  if  I  hadn't  been 
singing  "It  Was  a  Night  in  June"  behind  the  sheet 
music  counter  that  sultry  August  afternoon,  and  Cass

De  Voe,  killing  time  while  they  were  tinkering  with 
his  roadster  at  the  garage,  hadn't  heard  me  and  ■topped 
inside  the  store — this  story  might  have  a  very  different 
ending.    Or  maylx?  there  wouldn't  be  any  story! 

I  was  more  than  half  in  love  with  Dan  Kelland,  you 
see,  whose  father  ran  the  funny,  old-fashioned  drug 
store  at  the  comer  of  Main  and  Maple.  And  Dan, 
home  from  the  State  U.,  was  begging  me  to  give  up 
my  dreams  of  breaking  into  radio  and  marry  him. 

He  was  a  darling,  and  more  than  once  when  there 
was  a  moon  shining  through  the  willows  that  fringed 
the  river,  and  he  talked  alnnit  the  home  he  was  going 
to  build  for  us  up  on  the  Bluffs  I  almost  said :  "All 
right,  Dan!"    But  I  guess  it  took  a  moon  and  a  soft 
Missouri  night  to  weaken  me  at  all !    Dan  wasn't  very 
exciting.    He  was  just  the  boy  I'd  always  gone 
with  and  he  was  and  always  would  be  a 
farmer.    You  could  tell  that  just  by 
looking  at  him.    Even   when  he 
was  dressed  up  he  was  a  country 
boy  in  store  clothes. 

AND  I — I  wanted  more 
out  of  life  than  he  could 

ever  give  me.    So  I  was 
still    holding   out,  stub- 
bortily,  blindly  bent  on 
leaving  Gileshurg.  and 
going  to  Beacon  City, 
where  I  could  get  an 
audition,  when  Cass  De 
Voe   strolled   into  the 
music  shop,  and  draped 
himself  over  the  counter. 
I  was  strumming  out  my 
own  accompaniment  and  I 
didn't  actually  see  him  until 
I  whirled  about  on  the  stool. 
But  I  knew,  the  way  you  do 
know  such  things,  that  I  wasn't 
singing   any    more    for   the  high 
school  kids  who  were  leafing  over  the 
sheet  music  across  the  aisle.    And  I  put 
everything  I  had  into  that  last  refrain. 
"Pretty  good,  kid."  the  thin,  dark,  young  fellow  I 
was  so  aware  of  said  softly.    "Too  good  for  this  two- 
bit  joint,  if  nobody's  told  you  so  before  .  .  ."  His 
dark  eyes  strayed  contemptuously  over  the  music  shop, 
came  back  to  rest  on  me.    "Listen,  Sugar,"  he  said 
with  a  chuckle.    "You're  a  swell  looking  girl,  but  I 
couldn't  see  you  from  the  side-walk.    I  could  just  hear 
you.     And  that's  my  business,  spotting  voices  like 
yours !" 

I  could  just  stare  at  him.    My  eyes  felt  like  blue 

saucers. 

"It's  hard  to  tell — the  mike  does  tricks  to  voices 
as  good  as  yours  sometimes — but  I'm  betting  that  I 
can  put  you  on  the  air.    How  does  it  listen.  Blondie?" 

"Too  good  to  be  true !"  I  told  him  shakily.  Did 
things  like  this  actually  happen,  or  was  it  just  a  gag? 
"But  how — I  don't  understand  .  .  ."

'  I'm  scouting  for  talent  for  the  Continental  Broadcast- 
ing System,"  he  said,  impatient  at  my  blank  bewilderment. 
"Come  to  Beacon  City  and  I'll  cut  a  lot  of  red  tape  for 
you."  You  may  need  some  coaching  in  order  to  micro- 
phone right,  but  I've  a  drag  with  one  of  the  best  coaching 
studios  there.    How  are  you  fixed  for  dough?" 

I  told  him  I  could  manage  for  a  while,  anyway,  and 
that  maybe  I'd  come  to  the  city  and  look  him  up  before 
he  expected  me.  But  I'd  have  to  coax  Dad  and  my  Aunt 
Sally,  who  had  brought  me  up,  into  letting  me  go  and 
that  might  take  a  little  time.  I  felt  myself  blushing 
furiously,  thinking  of  Dan,  and  Cass  De  Voe 
grinned  at  me  knowingly. 

"There's  a  boy-friend  in  the  picture 
too,  I  take  it  V  he  said.    "Who  isn't 
going  to  cotton  to  the  idea !"  He 
looked  deep  in  my  eyes,  and  I 
felt  weak  all  over,  it  was  that 
kind  of  a  look.    "If  I  were  ^ 
in  his  shoes  I'd  feel  the  same  ^ 

That  night  I  told  Dan 
about  Cass  and  how  he  '  y 

was  going  to  give  me  a  9^ma 
chance.    But    Dan  was 
skeptical.  "Listen,  Myra," 
he  told  me.    "Don't  kid 
yourself.    De  Voe  may  be 
on  the  level — but  he's  just 
a  city  slicker  to  this  country 
boy !    Maybe  he  is  scouting 
for  talent  for  this  broadcast- 
ing company ;  maybe  he's  the 
original  hot  shot  in  radio.  May- 
be he  can  put  you  over.  But  there 
are  plenty  of  gyp  agents  making  a 
good  thing  out  of  dumb,  radio-struck 
girls  like  you." 

Dan's  nice,  homely  grin  didn't  take  the  sting 
out  of  the  words.    I  snatched  my  hand  from  his  clasp. 

"Do  you  think  I'm  not  going  to  make  good — or  are  you 
afraid  that  I  am?"  I  flared  up  at  him.  "You  don't  want 
me  to  have  my  chance,  Dan !  You'd  rather  I  buried  my- 
self alive  in  this  little  hick  town  and  turned  into  a 
farmer's  wife!"  My  voice  trembled  with  my  passionate 
resentment.  "Well — I'm  not  going  to  do  it !  We're 
washed  up  after  tonight,  you  and  I — and  six  months 
from  now,  when  I'm  singing  over  the  net-work !" 

HIS  blue  eyes  were  wistful,  suddenly.  "You've  never 
really  been  in  love  with  me,  Myra.  A  man  can  al- 
ways tell.  But  I  thought,  caring  as  much  as  I  did,  that 
it  would  wrork  out  .  .  ." 

"Don't,  Dan,"  I  said  with  a  lump  in  my  throat.  "I 
hate  to  hurt  you.    But  I've  got  to  go.    I've  got  to  .  .  ." 

Ten  days  later,  one  rainy  September  morning,  I  got 
off  the  train  in  the  smoky  Union  Station  in  Beacon  City. 
I  was  pretty  scared.  My  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  didn't 
seem  so  much  even  though  I  found  myself  a  cheap  room 
in  a  shabby  part  of  town  and  began  to  budget  my  meals 
and  expenses  right  away.  But  I  felt  that  once  I'd  seen 
Cass  De  Voe  again  everything  would  be  all  right. 

Dan  Kelland  had  sensed  the  truth ;  I  may  as  well  admit 
it.  My  dreams  of  a  career,  a  future  on.  the  air,  were 
nebulous  as  mist.  I  was  thinking  about  Cass  De  Voe — 
remembering  his  sleepy,  dark  eyes,  his  caressing  voice,  his 
smile  that  said  so  much.  Counting  the  hours  until  I  saw 
him  again.  That  same  afternoon,  I  found  my  way  to 
the  address  he'd  given  me.  It  was  something  of  a  shock 
to  find  it  a  shabby,  run-down  building  with  a  dingy  front 
and  a  creaky  elevator.  Love-sick  kid  that  I  was,  I  wasn't 
altogether  a  fool.  And  this  set-up  didn't  look  right.  But 
there  was  his  door  and  here  was  I.  On  the  threshold  of 
26' 


'success,  I  told  myself  defiantly,  thinking  of  Dan  at  home 
The  dingy  office  I  entered  didn't  heighten  my  spirit; 
any.  Nor  did  the  languid,  drug-store  blonde  at  th 
switch-board.  But  then,  before  I  could  give  her  ta\ 
name  and  business,  a  door  marked  "Private"  opened  an< 
Cass  stood  there  in  his  shirt-sleeves. 

"Oh,"  I  said  idiotically.  "I'm  so  glad  you're  in.  Shoul< 
I  have  phoned?" 

He  stared  at  me,  rumpling  his  dark  hair  with  ai 
abstracted  hand.  Of  course,  in  a  dark  blue  frock  am 
a  wide-brimmed  hat  I  must  have  looked  very  differen 
from  the  girl  in  Seeley's  music  store.  But— 
he  didn't  know  me ! 

"Don't   you   remember  me?"   I  sai< 
weakly.    "I'm  Myra  Gorman.  Yo 
heard  me  singing  in  a  music  stor 
in  Gilesburg  .  .  .  you  said  you'< 
get  me  an  audition  .  .  ." 
His  smile  made  my  heart  bee 
again.    Oh,  everything  wa 
all  right,  after  all !  Happi 
ness  flooded  me  as  he  sli 
a  casual  arm  about  m 
shoulders,   drew  me  tc 
wards   the   inner  offici 
"Remember     you  ?"  h 
asked  gaily.  "Would  I  l 
forgetting  the  best  lool- 
ing  blonde  that  ever  crosse 
my  path?    Well,  well.  S 
the  little  country  girl  comt 
to  the  big  town." 


RE  was  putting  me  into 
shabby  leather  chair,  takir 


my  jacket  and  purse,  telling  me  ho 
swell  it  was  to  see  me  again.  And 
swear  to  you,  I  didn't  think  any  more  abot 
how  much  I  had  at  stake  until  a  big,  burly  ma 
with  a  bumed-out  cigar  in  his  mouth  barged  in  on  us  ai 
Cass  introduced  him  as  his  partner,  Mr.  Burke. 

"This  is  the  girl  I  told  you  about,  Burke,"  Cass  sa 
significantly.  "I  think  she's  a  find.  I'd  like  you  to  he 
her  sing.    If  she's  as  good  as  I  think  she  is  .  .  ." 

Burke  said  something  about  Cass  never  picking  the 
wrong,  and  presently  I  found  myself  at  the  battered  piai 
in  one  corner  of  the  room.  There  was  a  mike  to  tl 
left  of  it.  I  thought  it  was  an  odd  sort  of  set-up  for  ; 
audition,  but  Cass  explained  that  it  was  simply  a  test, 
see  how  I  microphoned.  Then  if  my  voice  didn't  lo 
anything,  and  my  presentation  was  all  right,  he'd  get  r 
an  audition  at  the  XYZ  studios.  Sam  Burke  retired 
the  next  office.  And  while  Cass  made  the  tinny,  old  pia 
do  tricks,  I  sang. 

It  was  so  obviously  a  racket !  Knowing  what  I  knc 
now,  I  can't  see  how  I  fell  for  it,  green  as  I  was.  (

Well,  before  I  left  Cass  De  Voe's  office,  it  was  ; 
settled.     And  though  even  the  "reduced  fee"  for  t 
"course"  I  agreed  to  take  startled  me,  I  was  pitifully  gra'- 
f til.    I  was  pitifully  happy,  too.    For  Cass  was  taking  rj

He  was  polite,  business-like  and  he  came  straight  to  the 
point.  Had  I  ever  thought  of  going  into  radio?  A  local 
chain  of  drug  stores,  whose  account  Acme  was  handling, 
was  going  on  the  air.  There  was  a  s|xK  in  their  program 
for  a  singer  whose  audition  pleased  the  sponsor. 


HELD  him  off,  trying  to  read  what  lay  in  his  hand- 
some, wary  eyes.    "I  know.    But  Cass — you  haven't 
>een  kidding  me  along,  have  you?    I've  spent  almost  all 
ny  money.    I've  believed  everything  you  said.    If  I  had 

0  go  home  now  .  .  ."  His  kisses  closed  my  brimming  eyes, 
rlis  love-making  frightened  me,  sometimes  when  it  didn't 
end  me  up  among  the  stars. 

When  I  went  upstairs  to  my  room  that  night  I  knew 

1  couldn't  give  him  up  no  matter  what  happened.  But 
:he  knowing  didn't  keep  me  from  weeping  my  heart  out. 
My  light  was  still  on  when  the  girl  who  had  the  room 
lext  to  mine  knocked. 

We'd  eaten  together  a  few  times  and  Cora  Driscoll  had 
net  Cass.  She  knew  that  I  was  trying  to  get  into  radio 
ind  she  didn't  think  much  of  my  tie-up  with  him.  But 
you  can't  talk  sense  to  a  girl  in  love!  She  didn't  try 
lfter  the  first  attempt. 

I  was  so  lonely,  so  heart-sick,  that  I  was  glad  enough 
to  see  her.  She  was  a  hostess  at  the  Red  Dragon,  a 
fairly  unsavory  roadhouse  on  the  outskirts  of  town  and 
I'd  been  fascinated  by  her  blatant  red-haired  good- 
looks,  her  devil-may-care  swagger  through  life — until 
she'd  talked  against  Cass,  then  her  attraction  faded. 

"So  the  old  sock's  about  empty,  huh?"  she 
asked,  through  a  cloud  of  blue  smoke 
"And  you  still  don't  want  to  eat  crow 
at  a  home  dinner?    Well,  I  can  get 
you  a  job,  if  you  like.    Nick  is 
looking  for  a  girl  who  can  sing 
and  give  the  boys  a  flutter. 
Want  to  come  down  in  the 
morning?" 

I  knew  the  Red  Dragon. 
I   knew    what    it  would 
be    like,    singing  there. 
But    I    wanted    a  job. 
I    couldn't    go    home — 
couldn't  leave  Beacon 
City  while  Cass  was  there. 
For  if  I  went  out  of  his 
life  now  ...  oh,  he  did 
care,   but    I   cared  more 
than  he !    So  I  snatched  at 
the  proposal,  and  the  next 
morning,   when   Greek  Nick, 
who  ran  the  place,  offered  me  a 
salary  that  was  a  joke,  I  took  it 
like  a  shot.  ^ 

And  it  was  there,  in  that  cheaply 
gaudy,  often-raided  dump,  that  I  got  my 
chance !  Mayl>e  it  was  a  lucky  accident ;  maybe  word 
had  gotten  round  that  the  new  torch  singer  at  the  Red 
Dragon  was  worth  hearing.  (Afterwards,  Cass  swore 
that  he  was  responsible  for  Martin  Blake's  dropping  in 
that  night;  I  never  found  out.  I  was  afraid  to,  I  sup- 
pose.) 

But  I  hadn't  been  singing  there  a  fortnight  when,  after 
my  last  song,  a  waiter  brought  a  card  to  the  dressing 
room.  I  looked  at  the  card,  and  the  lip-stick  fell  from 
my  fingers.  It  said:  Martin  Blake.  Acme  Advertising 
Agency.  Production  Manager  Radio  Dept. 

1  clutched  at  the  ledge  of  my  ricketv  dressing-table. 


I  LISTENED  in  a  trance.  Heard  myself  promising  to 
I  come  to  the  broadcasting  studio  the  next  day,  at  two- 
thirty,  for  an  audition. 

Cass  dropped  in  as  usual  after  my  last  turn  to  drive 
me  home.  For  the  first  time,  I  made  no  demur  about 
going  to  his  apartment.  This  wasn't  the  impetuous, 
demanding  Cass  I'd  held  out  against,  even  when  I  craved 
his  kisses  most.  And  half  an  hour  later  I  was  curled 
up  on  the  sofa  before  his  hearth,  warming  my  hands  at 
the  blaze,  while  he  mixed  drinks.  Oh,  it  was  lovely,  after 
the  rainy  night,  to  be  there  in  his  shabby  rooms !  It 
was — like  coming  home. 

"Are  they  going  to  like  me  at  the  broadcasting  studio 
tomorrow?"  I  asked.  "Oh,  Cass,  am  I  really  going  to 
make  good?    I  feel — too  happy." 

He  pulled  me  down  into  his  arms.  I  gave  him  kiss 
for  kiss,  until  he  put  me  away  from  him,  suddenly. 
"Listen,  sweet."  His  words  were  strangely  unsteady. 
"You've  got  that  something.  More  than  just  a  slick  voice. 
You've  got  that  something.  I'm  no  plaster  saint,  but 
when  you  sing  I'm  sorry  for  every  lousy  thing  I've  ever 
done  .  .  ."  He  laughed,  as  if  he  were  ashamed  of  the 
admission,  and  I  took  his  face  between  my  hands.  He 
meant  it.  And  he  meant  the  kiss  that  fused  us, 
body  and  soul,  the  next  minute.  At  least, 
I  want  to  think  he  did. 

Then,  afraid  of  the  overwhelming 
tide  that  was  sweeping  us  both 
past    sanity    and    restraint,  I 
brought  us  back  to  earth.  Be- 
fore I  went  for  my  audition 
the   next  day,   and  talked 
terms,  oughtn't  he  to  really 
be  my  manager?    I  fired 
the  question  at  him,  try- 
ing to  get  hold  of  myself. 
He  had  an  agreement,  I 
knew,  all  drawn  up,  ready 
for  me  to  sign.     Oh,  I 
brought  it  on  myself,  I 
know.     He    finished  his 
drink  slowly  before  answer- 
y  ing. 

"Okay,  Baby.  If  that's  what 
you  want  ...  I  guess  this 
covers  everything." 
I  scarcely  read  the  terse  docu- 
ment.   Mayl>e  if  I  had — if  the  actual 
meaning  of  the  clause  giving  him  the 
fantastic  fifty  per  cent  commission  on  my 
earnings  had  sunk  in.  I  might  have  held  back.  Per- 
haps not.    But  all  I  wanted  was  to  sign  the  thing  and  turn 
Cass  De  Voe,  my  manager,  l>ack  into  Cass  De  Voe,  my 
lover. 

1  flung  down  the  i>en,  kissed  him  over  the  rim  of  my 
glass.  "I'm  yours  now,"  I  teased,  "Signed,  sealed  and 
delivered !"  He  drew  me  back  onto  the  sofa,  his  lips 
seeking  my  cheek,  my  mouth,  my  throat,  with  a  passion 
that  evoked  a  terrifying  response  in  me.  "Cass  .  .  . 
darling  ..."  I  whispered.  "Don't.  Take  me  home, 
Cass  .  .  ." 

It  was  a  weak  plea  and  he  (Continued  on  paqe  70)

I  HE  first  time  Irene  Noblette  looked  at  Tim  Ryan 
'  she  burst  out  laughing,  right  in  his  face.  Three 
months  later  they  were  married.   And  that  started 
the  comedy  team  of  "Tim  and  Irene"  which  you 
recently  heard  Sunday  night  on  NBC's  "Going  to 
Town"  program  and  on  their  own  half  hour  during 
the  week. 

Everything  about  them  is  so  mixed  up.  Their 
laughter  and  tears  always  come  at  the  wrong 
places.  Their  romance,  for  instance,  which  should 
have  been  a  beautiful,  serious  thing  was  a  hectic 
bit  of  comedy.  Their  career,  on  the  other  hand, 
which   should   have   been   clear   sailing,  was 
marked  with  heartbreak.  I'm  warning  you  now, 
Tim  and  Irene  aren't  a  bit  like  the  conventional, 
average  run  of  people  you  and  I  know. 

They  met  on  the  stage  of  the  leading 
theatre  in  Joplin,  Missouri.    Irene  Noblette 
was  the  ingenue  of  the  stock  company  there 
and  Tim  Ryan  was  the  leading  man  who  had 
just  been  hired.  The  regular  one  had  sud- 
denly walked  out  on  the  show,  and,  if  the 
company  hadn't  been  stuck,  Tim  would 
never  have  gotten  the  job.    For  beyond 
possessing   clean-cut    features,   an  Irish 
smile  and  a  brief  bit  of  experience  as 
chief  barker  in  a  carnival  show,  he  had 
nothing  to  recommend  him  for  the  job. 

There  he  was  on  the  stage,  rehearsing 
for  the  evening  show.  He  didn't  quite 
know  what  to  do  with  his  hands,  his 
face  was  wooden  and  expressionless, 
his  voice  didn't  behave  and  he  sput- 
tered all  over  the  place. 

Irene,    watching   him    from  the 
wings,  turned  to  another  principal 
and  groaned,  "So  that's  going  to  be 
my   new   leading  man?  Heaven 
help  us!" 

When  she  was  called  to  re- 
hearse the  love  scene  with  him, 
he  put  his  arms  around  her  awkwardly. 
"I  love  you,"  he  said.  He  didn't  exactly  say  it,  he 
shrieked  it.  And  Irene,  instead  of  whispering  something 
tender  as  her  lines  required,  did  a  most  upsetting  thing. 
She  burst  out  laughing.   She  laughed  so  long  and  loud 
that  it  re-echoed  in  the  last  row  of  the  empty  theatre. 
Tim,  shame-faced  and  red,  stared  at  her. 

"Do  that  scene  again,"  the  director  ordered,  "and  don't 
laugh !" 

They  tried  it  again.  This  time,  Tim's  voice  cracked  in 
the  middle  of  his  short  speech.   Irene's  face  twitched  in 
an  effort  to  keep  that  giggle  down.  But  it  came  out,  first 
28 


And  who  wouldn't  laugh  at  the 
amusing  little  lady  above.  She's 
Irene  Noblette  to  you,  but  she's 
just  plain  Missus  to  hubby  Tim 
Ryan  on  her  left.  You  can  hear 
this  funny  pair  over  NBC. 


A  SHRIEK  OF  LAUGHTER  BEGAN  A  HECTIC  ROMANCE 
THAT  LANDED  TIM  AND  IRENE  AT  THE  MINISTER'S. 
THEN  TOGETHER  THEY  BEGAN  A  GAME  OF  HIDE 
AND  SEEK  WITH  TRICKY  FATE 


in- a  suppressed  snicker  and  then  in  a 
roar  and  a,  howl. 

The  director   stalked  over.  "You're 
dismissed  for  the  day.  Miss  Noblette," 
he  yelled.  "Leave  the  theatre." 
That  sobered  her  instantly.    "But  he 
was  so  funny.   I  didn't  mean  to — " 
"Leave  at  once,"  the  director  stormed. 
Burning  with  humiliation,  she  stalked  ofT 
the  stage,  her  Irish  nose  held  high.  But 
in  the  privacy  of  the  wings  she  huddled 
in  a  heap  and  started  to  bawl.  Suddenly 
a  hand  touched  her  shoulder  and  she  heard 
a  voice  say.  "It  really  wasn't  your  fault.  I'm 
sorry." 

Irene  looked  up.  There  was  that  dumb  lead- 
ing man.  And  he  was  serious,  too.  "I  guess 
I  looked  so  funny  you  couldn't  help  laughing 
at  me,"  he  was  saying. 

Gosh,  what  a  regular  j>erson  he  was !  This 
time  it  was  Irene's  turn  to  blush. 
And  that  was  the  incident  that  started  their 
romance  off  to  a  high-powered  speed.  But  there 
was  one  obstacle  in  their  fast  and  fiery  courtship. 
It  was  Irene's  mother. 

Mrs.  Noblette  always  distrusted  the  theatre  and 
its  people.  She  had  tried  to  keep  Irene  away  from 
it,  but  well — what  can  you  do  with  a  headstrong, 
impetuous  girl.   Irene  was  bitten  by  the  stage  bug 
when  she  was  a  child.   Then,  at  fourteen  she  left 
school  to  become  a  chorus  girl  in  a  stock  company. 
There  was  nothing  for  Mrs.   Noblette  to  do  but 
travel  with  her  daughter  to  see  that  she  didn't  get  in 
the  path  of  the  devil  that  must  surely  lurk  backstage. 
And  above  all.  she  was  going  to  see  that  Irene  didn't 
marry  an  actor.   "All  actors  are  alike."  she  lectured, 
"and  Tim  Ryan  is  no  different  from  the  rest.  He'll 
just  leave  you  stranded." 

Irene  would  listen  with  a  straight  face  and  then  sneak 
away  to  meet  Tim  for  midnight  suppers  after  the  show. 
There  they  would  hold  hands  and  discuss  their  problem. 
"Let's  just  run  off  and  get  married."  Tim  said,  "without 
telling  a  soul."    And  Irene.    (Continued  on  payc  7x\

FOR 


Listening  to  "The  Gibson  Family"  the  other  Saturday 
evening,  I  found  the  perfect  answer  to  every  critic  of  our 
American  system  of  broadcasting. 

This  American  system  wherein  advertisers  give  us  vast 
quantities  of  entertainment  in  exchange  for  the  privilege 
of  telling  about  their  product  has  been  under  fire  too  often 
in  Washington.  At  the  same  time  the  British  system  of 
government-given  broadcasts  has  been  highly  praised. 

To  those  of  you  who  have  heeded  these  critics,  let  me 
tell  you  that  never  in  all  their  lives  have  British  listeners 
been  granted  the  opportunity  of  hearing  such  an  expensive, 


expansive  radio  show  as  the  glittering  "Gibson  Family." 

With  its  very  first  presentation  of  "The  Gibson  Family," 
American  broadcasting  took  a  gigantic  stride  ahead  to- 
ward the  goal  of  creating  worthwhile,  adult,  radio  art. 
Herein  are  combined  prodigally  the  finest  talents  available 
for  original  radio  fare.  Original  music,  new  words,  a  brand 
new  book  ...  a  thrilling  "world  premier"  in  our  parlors  each 
Saturday  night.  Here  is  beauty  and  excitement  and  emo- 
tion, provided  by  the  authors  and  played  to  the  hilt  by  an 
expert  and  excellent  cast.  And  here  is  advertising  accom- 
plished with  forthright  honesty  and  stimulating  modesty.

ARE  YOU  getting  enough  adventure  into  your  life?  Or 
are  you  fed  up  with  a  dull,  monotonous  round  of  existence 
in  which  nothing  ever  seems  to  happen? 

If  you  are,  you'll  be  interested  in  the  secret  of  John 
Barclay,  the  leading  actor  on  the  Palmolive  Beauty  Box 
hour. 

Things  always  happen  to  John  Barclay.  He's  TNT. 
He's  dynamite.  Around  him  the  very  air  seems  to  crackle. 
Never  for  a  moment  has  his  life  been  monotonous.  He 
has  traveled  around  the  world,  faced  death  on  the  Yellow 

32 


Sea,  been  in  the  War.  been  lost  in  a  Chinese  city,  found 
romance,  lost  romance,  found  it  again,  and  he  has  been 
on  the  stage,  in  opera  and  on  the  air.  One  year  he  may 
be  sitting  on  top  of  the  world  and  the  next  he  may  be 
completely  broke.  But  never  do  the  gods  seem  to  decree 
that  he  must  know  the  torture  so  many  of  us  know  of 
days  following  days  without  end  and  nothing  ever 
happening. 

Well,  how  can  you  get  adventure  into  your  life,  as  John 
Barclay  has  gotten  it  into  his  *' 


L 


(Above,  left)  Barclay  as  he  appears 
today.  (Above,  right)  As  you  see, 
this  leading  actor  of  the  Palmolive 
Beauty  Box  Theatre  makes  a  most 
impressive  looking,  as  well  as  sound- 
ing, Sir  Joseph  in  "Pinafore." 


Ill  tell  you.  Fling  caution  to  the  winds,  take  a  chance, 
laugh  in  the  very  teeth  of  death.  If  there  are  two  ways 
of  doing  a  thing,  the  safe,  cautious  way  and  the  unplanned, 
dangerous  way,  do  the  reckless  things.  If  your  life  hangs 
on  a  thread,  throw  the  thread  away.  If  your  job  doesn't 
appeal  to  you.  chuck  it  and  look  for  something  else  that 
does.  If  you're  in  a  rut,  jump  out  of  it.  If  you  haven't 
the  money  to  travel  first  class,  travel  any  way  and  see  the 
world  through  a  third-class  porthole.  Laugh  at  the  gods. 
Defy  your  fate.    Don't  accept  the  meagre  portion  the 


gods  have  doled  out  to  you.  Throw  it  away  and  demand 
more  of  them. 

Mad,  insane  advice?  Of  course  it  is.  But  you  were 
asking  me  how  to  get  adventure  into  your  life  and  I  was 
telling  you  John  Barclay's  way.  He  was  as  mad  as  a 
hatter.  Being  horn  in  Bletchingley,  England,  to  security 
and  position  meant  nothing  to  him.  At  sixteen  he  was 
very  tall,  six  feet  three  in  height,  a  veritable  giant.  To- 
day he's  still  taller,  towering  over  the  other  memhers  of 
the  Palmolive  cast,  as  his  life  (Continued  on  page  76)

One  of  the  latest  pictures  of  Russ  Columbo 
before  the  fatal  night  his  life  was  so  tragically 
snuffed  out  by  a  pistol  in  the  hand  of  his 
closest  friend,  Lansing  Brown  of  Hollywood. 


Thousands  mourned  as  his  body,  covered  with  a 
blanket  of  gardenias  sent  by  Carole  Lombard,  was 
borne  to  the  altar  of  the  Catholic  Church  on  Sunset 
Boulevard.   Bing  Crosby  was  one  of  the  pall-bearers. 


A  CRUEL,  unreasonable  accident.  .  .  ? 

Or  the  strange,  relentless  working  of  a  destiny 
that  was  meant  to  be.  .  .  ? 

Sorrowfully,  the  radio  and  motion  picture 
worlds  ponder  these  two  heart-breaking  phases  of 
the  untimely  passing  of  golden-voiced  Russ 
Columbo. 

( )n  Sunday  evening,  September  2,  the  country 
was  startled  by  the  raucous  voices  of  newsboys: 
"Russ  Columbo  Dies!  Radio  Crooner  and  Movie 


Star  Accidentally  Shot  By  Lansing  V.  Brown,  His  Best 
Friend !"  And  then  followed  the  details  of  what  the  Los

accident"  on  their  files.

The  home  of  Lansing  Brown  in  which  Death  so 
heartlessly  slew  the  twenty-six-year-old  boy  who 
in  eight  months  had  achieved  the  success  in 
work  and  love  of  which  men  dream.

Could  this  be  right?  It  is  too  cruel  that  a  twenty-six- 
year-old  boy  who,  in  the  past  eight  months,  had  achieved 
the  success  that  all  men  dream  of.  success  in  his  work  and 
success  in  love,  should  be  snuffed  out  by  an  accident  so 
freakish  that  it  insults  the  reason!  This  was  the  first 
horrified  reaction. 


And  then  as  people  in  Hollywood  who  knew 
him  and  loved  him  talked  of  Russ  in  tear-choked 
voices  you  began  to  hear  the  word  "Destiny" 
.  .  .  "inescapable  Fate."  So  many  heartbreaking 
"Ifs"  were  uncovered. 

If  Russ,  himself,  had  not  ^hanged  the  hour  and 
date  of  his  current  radio  broadcast  over  a  na-

listened  to  the  advice  of  his  close  friend,  Lansing 
Brown,  the  very  man  who's  pistol  ended  his  life,  he 
would  have  been  in  Chicago  on  Labor  Day,  Sep- 
tember 3,  beginning  a  six  week's  series  of  radio  and 
public  appearance  programs  that  would  have  netted 
him  $7500  weekly !  //  Russ  had  not  been  so 
wrapped  up  in  his  newly-dawning  career  in  motion 
pictures,  he  might  have  accepted  the  invitation  of 
Carole  Lombard  to  motor  up' to  Lake  Arrowhead 
and  dine  with  her  on  Sunday  evening.  But  the  first 
Columbo  starring  picture  for  Universal.  "Wake  Up 
And  Dream"  had  been  previewed  the  previous  Fri- 
day evening  and  Russ  wanted  to  remain  in  town 
and  talk  over  certain  possible  retakes  on  the  film. 
//  Lansing  Brown  had  been  toying  with  the  mate  to 
the  old  dueling  gun  that  ended  the  career  of  his 
constant  friend,  even  the  match  head  would  have 


done  no  harm  because  the  other  gun  contained 
powder,  but  no~shot! 

The  second,  and  perhaps  truest,  reaction  was  that 
unexplainable  and  mysterious  Destiny  had  ended  the 
career  of  the  boy  so  many  people  loved !  Fatalists 
say  "What  is  to  be,  will  be,  and  man  cannot  change 
the  Fate  of  his  existence!" 

In  an  understanding  and  sincere  radio  tribute  to 
Russ  the  day  following  the  tragedy,  Rush  Hughes, 
well  known  commentator  and  son  of  Rupert  Hughes, 
said:  "I  cannot  help  but  wonder  if  his  death  is  sad, 
or  a  triumph,  a  triumph  for  a  boy  who  knew  the 
joys  of  victory,  but  didn't  have  to  stay  to  know  the 
shabbiness  of  defeat,  the  bitter  days  of  striving  to 
hang  on  to  a  glory  that  eventually  slips  away  and 
eludes  all  men.  In  the  past  year  Life  generously

A  few  short  months  ago  Shirley  was  a  newspaper  reporter 
in  Philadelphia.  Her  job  was  to  listen  to  air-famous  and 
write  about  them.  Little  did  she  dream  that  one  of  the  most 
important  would  listen  to  her.  He  did.  At  a  social  affair

YOU  want  to  crash  radio,  do  you?  I  wonder  if 
you  have  the  nerve.  Yes,  I  mean  nerve.  Would 
you  leave  family  and  friends  on  a  moment's 
notice  to  go  on  a  wild-goose  chase  to  strange, 
weird  countries  to  accomplish  your  ambition? 

I  wonder  how  many  of  us  could  honestly  say  yes? 
And,  because  I  believe  that  number  is  very  small,  I  want 
to  tell  you  the  whole  thrilling  story  of  one  girl  who  would 
— and  did.  Her  name  is  Rita  Bell.  She  sings  with 
Harold  Stern  and  his  Hotel  Montclair  orchestra  over  the 
NBC  network,  and  she  arrived  at  this  job  via  New  York, 
Paris,  London,  Africa,  Berlin,  Florida,  California,  China, 
Honolulu,  Hollywood  and  back  to  New  York. 

Five  years  ago,  Rita  Bell  was  just  another  average  girl 
looking  for  a  break  in  radio.   Full  of  talent,  ambition  and 
hope,  she  was  like  thousands  of  other  youngsters  who 
40 


were  storming  the  audition  doors.    But  in  spite  of 
darned  good  voice,  in  spite  of  an  armful  of  letters  frc. 
"important  people,"  in  spite  of  a  dynamic  personality  a 
a  figure  like  an  exclamation  point,  Rita  never  got  past  t 
frigid  stares  of  the  studio  hostesses. 

Instead  of  going  back  to  the  farm,  disillusioned  a 
disgusted,  Rita  determined  to  do  something  about  . 
Her  only  hope,  she  decided,  lay  outside  of  New  Yoi. 
which  was  already  over-run  with  would-be  singers.  ». 
she  shook  the  dust  of  New  York  from  her  feet,  tuckl 
her  bags  under  her  arms,  crossed  her  fingers  for  lu: 
and  hopped  on  a  boat  for  Europe!  Little  did  she  dre;i 
that  it  was  to  be  the  first  lap  of  an  amazing  journey — I 
in  the  name  of  career. 

The  scene  was  different  in  Europe.  They  welcoml 
American  performers  and  Rita  managed  to  bluff  her  w 


TO  THE  WILDEST  JUNGLES  OF  AFRICA  AND  INTO  THE  MYS- 


TERIOUS ORIENT,  RITA  BELL  WENT  IN  SEARCH  OF  A  CAREER 


several  singing  jobs  in  the  smaller  Paris  stations.  Then 
("went  to  London  where  she  obtained  work  from  time  to 
I '  with  the  British  Broadcasting  System.  One  day  the 
idling  point  in  her  life  came  in  the  person  of  a  Mr. 
dessinger.  representative  of  the  African  Theatres, 
. .,  who  visited  the  BBS  studios  while  Rita  was  there 
nfing  her  turn  to  go  on  the  air.   And  if  she  hadn't  been 

ely,  peppy  American  girl  with  the  American's  natural 
t  ce-a-chance"  attitude,  she  might  have  been  too  scared 

ake  up  his  unusual  offer,  for  out  of  a  clear  sky  he 
f -d  how  she  would  like  to  sing  in  Africa. 

Vithin  three  minutes  after  the  proposition  had  been 
rle.  Rita  Bell  of  New  York  signed  a  contract  that  was 
i  ake  her  to  that  continent. 

t  was  in  Caj>etown.  South  Africa,  that  she  first  learned 
ut  radio  and  its  workings,  all  about  "mike"  technique 
about  the  fans'  tastes.    But  in  spite  of  the  comfort- 
R  environment  of  the  broadcasting  studio,  she  managed 
'see  the  real  Africa  and  all  of  its  fascinating  horrors, 
ce,  for  instance,  a  young  officer  from  North  Rhodesia 
uted  her  to  go  on  a  rhinoceros  hunt  across  the  river. 
I  was  having  a  grand  time."  she  told  me,  "enjoying 
strange,  wild  beautv  of  the  African  jungles  on  either 
:  of  the  narrow  river,  when  suddenly  I  looked  into 
river  and  saw  a  sight  which  made  me  sick  with  fear, 
ere,  flapping  along  the  boat,  were  droves  of  crocodiles, 
ir  cavernous  mouths  yawning  and  yapping  signifi- 
itly.    I  rushed  to  the  other  side  of  the  launch,  hoping 
escape  the  sight,  and  again  I  looked  right  down  into 
horrible,  gaping  mouths 

Quaking  with  terror,  I  went  to  warn  my  friend.  But 
my  surprise  he  laughed,  saying.  'We're  all  used  to 


that  now.  Look  at  the  other  people  in  the  party.  They'n 
not  frightened!'  I  looked  around  and  sure  enough,  the 
rest  of  the  party  were  completely  oblivions  of  the  ugly 
creatures." 

"I  asked  one  of  the  native  sailors  on  the  launch  if  the 
crocodiles  ever  molest  humans  crossing  the  river. 

"He  shrugged  his  shoulders.  'Sure.  Missy.'  he  replied 
nonchalantly,  'but  what  can  you  do?  Maybe  we  be  lucky  ' 

"Well.  I  couldn't  take  such  a  casual  attitude  toward 
life.    That  trip  was  ruined  for  me  " 

BUT,  of  course,  there  was  her  career  to  think  of.  You 
see,  her  African  radio  debut  had  gradually  opened 
the  doors  to  other  foreign  broadcasting  stations.  Gradu- 
ally  her  programs  simmered  into  several  European  coun- 
tries. The  idea  of  a  young  American  girl  singing  in  far- 
off  Africa  was  too  unusual  to  pass  without  comment 
That's  how  it  happened  that  she  received  an  offer  to  sing 
in  Berlin.  So  Africa  with  its  weird  customs  was  left 
behind  for  Europe  again. 

Shortly  after,  she  was  back  in  the  U.  S.  A..  Florida 
wanted  her.  And  not  many  months  passed  before  she 
was  in  Calif omia,  playing  the  theatres  of  l^os  Angeles 
and  broadcasting  over  Station  K\\\ 

Her  friends  thought  that  by  now  she  was  settled  and 
would  be  content  to  stay  put.  Bet  she  wasn't.  A  chance 
came  to  sing  in — of  all  places — China  !  So  she  landed 
in  Shanghai 

Rita  did  her  best  to  instill  some  American  customs 
into  the  Chinese  broadcasting  situation,  but  didn't  always 
succeed.  For  instance,  while  she  was  singing  in  one  of  tin 
hotels   she   was   offered    a     ( Continued    on    paqc  lOd

THIS  piece  is  going  to  be  a  mystery  story !  First,  because 
it  concerns  The  Mystery  Chef — radio's  third  most  popular 
performer.  Second,  because  it  has  to  do  with  a  certain 
mysterious  room. 

Now,  this  room  is  a  magic  spot.  It  contains  an  iron 
box  out  of  which  fire  blazes  at  the  touch  of  a  matclj.  On 
its  walls  hang  caldrons  and  vessels  for  brewing  strange 
mixtures.  The  shelves  and  bins  are  weighted  with  grains 
and  spices  from  the  six  continents.  And  in  the  cupboard, 
smooth  as  a  baby's  cheek,  reposes  a  magic  wand. 

It  is  a  room  like  any  other  room  when  an  ordinary 
person  uses  it.  But  when  a  wizard  comes  through  the 
door  and  lights  the  fires  and  starts  the  bubbling  and  the 
boiling,  then  magic  follows.  A  potent  magic  that  sweetens 
the  waters  of  life.  A  magic  that  can  produce  strong  love, 
lasting  friendship,  devoted  husbands,  and  children  who 
prefer  to  stay  at  home. 

The  magic  room — our  room  of  mystery — is,  as  you  may 
have  guessed,  the  kitchen,  any  old  kitchen.  The  iron  box 
is  everybody's  stove.  The  wand,  a  rolling  pin.  The  magic 
is  cookery.  Cookery,  which  the  Mystery  Chef  asserts, 
is  the  most  powerful  force  for  human  happiness. 

"I  have  known  people  to  fall  in  love,  get  married  and 
live  happily  together — all  because  of  a  good  meal  or  two," 
he  said  with  a  smile  at  his  wife. 

"I  have  known  homes,"  he  continued,  "that  were  head- 
ing for  the  rocks  and  shoals  of  divorce  to  be  saved  by  a 
half  dozen  good  recipes. 

"I  have  seen  nodding  acquaintances  ripen  into  warm 
friends  over  a  series  of  well-cooked  dinners. 

"We  all  know  how  business  is  accelerated  by  good  cook- 
ing, how  contacts  are  made,  negotiations  carried  forward 
and  contracts  signed  over  the  luncheon  table. 

"And  I  know  of  little  brown  hens  whose  rating  in 
society,  far  below  zero,  suddenly  popped  above  par  and 
whose  homes  became  everybody's  favorite  dropping-in 
place,  when  the  little  brown  hens  demonstrated  that  they 
were  major  cooks. 

"Friendship,  love  and  happy  marriage,  these,  the  most 
important  things  in  life,  often  come  and  go  depending  on 
what  emerges  from  that  room  of  mysteries,  the  kitchen." 

When  he  tells  you  these  things,  the  Mystery  Chef  is 
not  guessing,  he  is  simply  talking  of  what  he  knows,  giv- 
ing you  facts  as  definite  and  indisputable  as  Forty-Second 
Street  and  Broadway.  He  knows  the  magic  that  cooking 
can  accomplish  from  twenty-five  years  at  the  stove,  from 


rag* 


thousands  of  conversations,  and  from  1,200,000  lett< 
sent  to  him  by  radio  admirers.  Only  two  other  pers( 
on  the  air  can  boast  as  many. 

These  letters  are  true  stories,  confessions,  outponrir 
of  troubled  and  jubilant  human  beings  who  tell  the  M; 
tery  Chef  what's  what  in  American  homes.  They  co 
from  husbands  and  wives,  from  school  girls  and  rah-i 
boys,  from  nine-year-old  snivelers  and  ninety-year-* 
dodderers.  "There  were  enough  to  cover  the  railn 
tracks  from  here  to  Seattle.  And  some  got  in  my  i 
and  made  me  weep.  A  great  many  tickled  me  and  m; 
me  laugh,  like  this  one.  .  .  . 

It  was  alxnit  a  girl  who  was  in  love  with  an  a 
nice  fellow.  And  he  was  in  love  with  her.  But  no  w 
date  was  set  and  the  engagement  dragged  and  d 
She  told  the  Chef  all  about  it  in  a  letter,  how  her  swi 
heart  would  come  three  or  four  times  a  week  to  eat 
blue-ribbon  dinners  her  mother  cooked.  And  how  t 
man  loved  to  eat !  One  morning,  sunk  in  the  deep  inc 
blues  she  heard  the  Chef  on  the  radio.  He  made  cook 
sound  so  easy,  so  fascinating  that  she  got  out  a  per 
took  down  his  recipes  and  walked  into  the  kitchen. 

That  night  the  boy  friend  ate  and  ate,  sighing  with 
as  he  demolished  a  roast,  three  different  vegetables 
salad,  pie,  coffee  and  trimmings.  When  there  was  notr 
left  on  the  battlefield  but  crumbs,  he  pushed  back 
chair,  walked  around  the  table  and  kissed  the  girl's  mot 
smack  on  the  cheek. 

"Maw,"  he  said  rapturously,  "that  meal  was  a  mas 
piece.  Them  chips,  them  pies,  them  .  .  .  them.  .  .  ." 

The  old  lady  waved  her  hand  impatiently.  "Be  y< 
self,  Elmer!  The  kid  cooked  the  dinner.  I  was  at 
movies  all  afternoon." 

Well,  you  could  have  knocked  him  down  with  a  bu 
pat.  A  month  later,  they  were  married.  And  if  you  dc 
me,  ask  the  Mystery  Chef. 

BUT  how  can  you  ask  him  if  you  don't  know  who 
is — do  I  hear  you  inquire?  Yes — who  is  he — wb 
this  remarkable  man — why  the  mystery?  It's  about  t

J  E  wears  no  mask  but  he  hides  his  identity  because  his 
;  •   mother,  who  died  recently,  did  not  like  the  idea  of 
son  of  her's  ladling  out  recipes  to  the  public.  As  a  point 
F  fact,  this  man  of  mystery  has  done  more  to  take  the 
ask  off  cookery  than  any  other  living  chef  or  domestic 
ience  authority.   He  has  mastered  the  art  of  teaching 
words  of  one  syllable.  Each  syllable,  in  his  case,  being 
icked  with  information  and  wisdom. 
!  The  Mystery  Chef  knows  the  recipes  of  almost  every 
ish  eaten  by  civilized  man.   "I  have  in  my  possession, 
nong  others,  over  two  hundred  recipes  of  the  world's 
reat  men."  he  told  me.   The  list  of  recipe  inventors 
icludes  Luther  Burbank,  Lord  Balfour,  George  Eastman, 
ing  Edward  VII,  Steinmetz,  Clemenceau  and  many 
hers  of  equal  rank. 

Shut  up  in  his  head  are  ten  thousand  recipes  for  food, 
ire  and  commonplace,  but  he  has  other  recipes,  too — 
ie  kind  not  usually  found  in  cook  l>ooks.  He  has  recipes 
jr  the  happy  life.  "To  be  a  good  cook,"  he  said,  "you 
lust  go  into  the  kitchen  with  love  in  your  heart  for 
hat  you  are  about  to  do  and  for  the  people  who  will  eat 
our  cooking.  It  is  the  most  important  ingredient  of 
ny  recipe." 

.  Not  so  long  ago  he  got  a  letter  from  a  woman  who 
>ld  how  skillful  management  of  her  kitchen,  following 
ie  Mystery  Chef  formula,  had  carried  her  husband  and 
ersclf  through  the  depression  doldrums.  She  spoke  of 
ow  her  husband  suffered  because  of  his  failure  to  find 

job.  He  was  becoming  desperate  and  nothing  that  she 
mid  say  seemed  to  help.  Up  to  that  time  she  had  been 

fair,  run-of-the-mill  cook.  But  those  days,  weeks  ami 
lonths  of  her  husband's  ordeal,  she  shut  herself  up  in 
he  kitchen  and  by  dint  of  prayer,  power  of  love  and  tips 
rom  the  Mystery  Gief  accomplished  magic.  She  poured 
erself  into  the  pots  and  roasters — with  a  hawk's  eye  on 
he  expense.  And  she  got  across  to  her  man,  dish  by 
'sh,  the  message  that  nothing  else  mattered,  neither 
ioney,  house  nor  job  except  the  fact  that  they  were  both 


alive  and  in  love  with  each  other  now  and  forever. 

What  are  the  most  valuable  things  in  life,  asks  the 
Mystery  Chef?  Memories  is  the  answer.  What  are  our 
most  precious  memories?  The  memories  of  home.  Are 
they  not  wrapped  up  in  pies  and  cookies  and  Sunday 
chicken.  The  cake  that  mother  used  to  make.  The  turkey 
we  used  to  eat  on  Thanksgiving.  The  shining  table  .  .  . 
the  faces  of  pa  and  ma  ...  all  when  we  were  young  and 
without  a  care. 

No  greater  enthusiast  for  the  magic  and  mysterious 
room  exists  than  the  Mystery  Chef.  But  he  is  no  advo- 
cate of  the  old-fashioned  system  under  which  women 
sweltered  hours  and  hours  at  the  stove.  He  is  constantly 
warning  against  such  methods  and  giving  hints  on  how 
to  avoid  overwork  when  guests  are  expected. 

For  example,  he  has  discovered  a  way  of  preparing 
grape  fruit  two  days  in  advance.  And  a  system  of  pie 
baking  that  is  equally  ingenious  and  labor-saving.  The  pie 
is  made  in  three  sections:  crust,  fruit  and  whipped  cream. 
The  first  two  can  be  made  twenty-four  hours  before  the 
guests  are  expected  and  put  together  with  the  whipped 
cream  in  five  minutes. 

After  giving  a  recipe  for  baked  fish,  he  says,  "Fish  that 
has  been  cooked  according  to  my  reci]>e  can  be  put  in  the 
icebox  and  reheated  when  required. 

What  a  man !  He  is  not  in  a  flutter  when  guests  arrive. 
He  doesn't  sit  down  one  eye,  one  ear  and  one  nostril 
trained  on  the  cooking  department.  No  indeed  and  no,  no 
no!  Everything  is  set  when  they  arrive.  He  is  free  to 
attend  to  his  guests.  His  meal  smokes  on  the  table  before 
the  cocktails  are  consumed.  And  before  the  first  fork  de- 
scends into  the  hors  d'eeuvre  he  is  in  his  chair.  What  is 
more  he  is  as  fresh  and  unweary  as  the  guests. 

"Your  table  is  a  stage,"  the  Mystery  Chef  declares.  "It 
should  have  its  spectacle  every  night."  He  doesn't  mean

•OVE,  MARRIAGE — COME  OUT  OF  THE  MAGIC  ROOM  OF  THIS  WIZARD 


RADIO/SA 


Mm, 


By       Mary  Jacobs 


I'LL  just  tune  in  for  awhile,"  said  Mrs.  Anna 
Smith  of  Newcomh,  New  York,  wearily,  to 
her  husband.  "Maybe  there'll  be  a  snappy  jazz 
band  or  a  bit  of  comedy.  I  could  stand  a  little 
cheering  up  sittin'  around  and  waiting  for  my  leg  to 
heal.  Can  you  imagine  a  little  pup  like  that  biting  so 
deep?   Drat  the  dog!" 

It's  a  lucky  thing  Mrs.  Smith  did  tune  in,  for  the 
chance  broadcast  from  station  WGY  of  Schenectady 
saved  her  life.  Radio  is  a  strange  instrument.  It 
reaches  into  the  far  corners  of  the  globe  and  in  a 
funny,  zigzag  course  maps  out  human  destinies. 
Quite  unintentionally,  it  seems.  Perhaps  it  will  be 
you  to  be  singled  out  today  or  tomorrow. 

You  doubt  it?  A  seemingly  irrelevant  broadcast 
has,  more  than  once,  changed  a  person's  life.  A 
whole  family's  existence.  Radio  has  warned  people 
of  onrushing  floods.  It  has  prevented  suicides. 
Caused  them,  too.  Romances  have  been  patched  up. 
Abandoned  and  helpless  children  found  homes. 
Radio  has  acted  as  a  doctor  by  proxy,  and  cheated 
death. 

To  return  to  Mrs.  Smith,  nursing  her  dog-bitten 
leg.  The  broadcast  warned  that  a  dog,  answering  the 
exact  description  of  the  pup  which  had  bitten  her. 
was  at  large  and  that  it  had  rabies.  Anyone  bitten 
by  that  pup  was  to  visit  a  doctor  immediately  and 
undergo  the  famous  Pasteur  treatment  if  he  wanted 
to  remain  on  this  earth.  A  bite  from  a  mad  dog,  as 
you  know,  usually  proves  fatal. 

In  less  time  than  it  has  taken  me  to  write  this. 
Mrs.  Smith  and  her  husband  were  on  their  way  to 
the  doctor's.  Today  Mrs.  Smith  is  alive  and 
healthy. 

Radio  has  proved  a  life-saver  in  numerous  other 
ways.  Particularly  has  it  guided  young  boys  and 
girls,  torn  by  conflicting  emotions  and  half-crazy 
with  worry. 

I'm  not  talking  of  radio's  power  to  keep  us 
amused  and  entertained,  to  keep  boys  and  girls  off 
the  street  corners,  out  of  mischief,  provide  them 
with  good,  clean  fun  in  their  homes.  Oh,  no.  I'm 
just  thinking  of  how  chance  radio  programs  have 
often    filled    a    terrific  need. 

Even  the  lowly  comedian  may 
be  master  of  someone's  destiny, 
through  radio.  So  Jack  Pearl 
learned  last  week,  for  one  of 
his  silliest,  most  egotistical  sal- 
lies helped  a  poor,  bewildered 
girl  start  anew  in  life. 

Maybe  you  recall  the  skit. 

44 


Baron  Munchausen  is  telling  Sharlie  of  his  mother, 
who,  he  says,  always  loved  him  in  spite  of  his  faults 
and  errors.  Who,  in  fact,  did  something  no  other 
woman  achieved. 

"God  bless  my  mother,"  the  Baron  says. 

"God  bless  my  mother,"  Sharlie  repeats. 

"I  said  it  first."  counters  the  Baron.  So  Sharlie 
says,  "God  bless  all  mothers." 

The  Baron  adds,  "But  my  mother  a  little  more." 

The  thing  his  mother  did  that  no  other  mother 
had  done — you  guessed  it — was  to  bring  him  into 
the  world ! 

The  Baron  forgot  the  skit.  It  was  just  another 
group  of  gags  that  had  gone  over. 

When  a  week  ago,  a  young  lady  came  to  see  him. 
She  admitted  to  his  secretary  that  he  didn't  know 
her  from  Adam,  but  she  just  had  to  see  him. 

HER'S  was  the  same  old  tale.  An  eager,  young 
girl  who  had  grabbed  at  romance  in  the  form  of 
a  shoddy  love  affair  with  a  married  man.  Before 
she  realized  what  she  was  doing,  she  had  run  away 
with  him.  Now  she  didn't  dare  return  to  her 
home.    But    she   wanted    to   go   back    so  badly. 


THE  PROGRAM  THAT  GIVES 


YOU  A  HEADACHE,  PRE- 


VENTS  YOUR  NEIGHBOR 


FROM  MURDER  AND  SUICIDE 


ILLUSTRATED  BY  JACK  WELCH 


She  had  listlessly  tuned  in  on  the  Baron's 
program,  heard  his  skit  on  mothers.  It 
flashed  through  her  mind  that  her  mother  was 
like  his — her  mother  loved  her,  believed  in 
her,  would  be  willing  to  forgive  her  sin.  Her 
mother  might  even  welcome  her. 

She  decided  to  go.  Back  home  she  went. 
Her  mother  cried  with  joy  at  seeing  her  and 
having  her  again.  The  girl  is  happy  now  at 
home. 

Have  you  ever  heard  of  a  radio  broadcast 
that  nipped  a  first-class  murder  in  the  bud? 

It  centers  about  a  middle-aged  woman  who 
lives  in  Paterson,  New  Jersey,  her  eighteen 
year  old  daughter,  Janet,  and  her  divorced 
husband,  who  lives  in  Chicago.  And  about  a 
broadcast  of  Cheerio's.  I'll  tell  it  to  you  just 
as  Janet  told  it  to  me. 

Her  mother  divorced  her  father  when  she 
was  a  tot.  He,  with  a  reputation  not  of  the 
best,  went  west.  For  years  they  had  never 
heard  from  him.  Then  recently  he  came  to 
Paterson  and  told  horrible  lies  about  the 
mother  to  Janet  and  their  friends.  Janet  felt 
she  should  tell  her  mother,  who  listened 
calmly  enough  and  laughed  it  off.  But  deep  in 
her  heart  she  brooded  over  what  had  hap- 
pened. Her  husband  had  ruined  her  life;  now 
he  had  come  back  and  blackened  her  char- 
acter to  her  daughter  and  her  friends.  He 
had  tried  to  tear  down  what  had  taken  her 
years  to  build  up.  She  became  obsessed  with 
the  idea  of  revenge. 

She'd  fix  him,  close  his  lying  mouth  for- 
ever. She  would  kill  him.  She  bought  an 
automatic,  packed  it  in  her  overflight  bag. 
and  bought  a  ticket  for  Chicago.  There  was 
quite  a  time  before  her  train  pulled  in.  Some- 
one's radio  was  on  full  blast  in  a  car  nearby. 
She  was  in  no  mood  for  programs,  but  she 
couldn't  help  hearing  this  one. 

It  was  Cheerio.  He  spoke  of  the  foolish- 
ness of  revenge.  Said  that  God,  the  Almighty 
Avenger,  takes  care  of  everything  in  his  own 
way,  manages  to  even  up  the  scales  of  Justice. 
That  those  of  us  vho  seek  revenge  usually 
discover  it's  a  boomerang.  We  pay  for  one 
moment's  satisfaction  with  years  of  regret. 

WHY!  the  crime  she  was  planning  would 
turn  out  just  that  way.    She'd  kill  her 
ex-husband,  but  what  then?    Years  in  jail 

45 


for  her;  notoriety  for  her  loved  ones:  absolute  ruin  tor 
her  daughter.  That  voice  over  the  radio  brought  her  back 
to  her  senses.  Blotting  out  all  ideas  of  revenge  from 
her  mind,  she  returned  home  to  seek  peace  and  content- 
ment once  more. 

Then  there's  the  story  of  how  radio  mapped  out  the 
destiny  of  little  Wendy  (jay  Perkins,  even  before  .she  was 
born.  Little  blue-eyed,  flaxen-haired  Wendy  has  ruled  the 
Perkins'  home  for  over  two-and-a-half  years  now.  She's 
the  adopted  daughter  of  Kay  Perkins,  comedian,  songster 
and  master  of  ceremonies  at  NBC. 

Let's  go  back  to  April,  1932,  when  Kay  was  featured 
thrice  weekly  over  the  NBC  network.  He  was  having  a 
swell  time  cracking  jokes,  singing  and  carrying  on  in 
general.  So  were  we,  listening  in  and  laughing — all  of 
us,  except  two  young  people  who  sat,  lonely  and  heartsick, 
in  a  cheap,  two-room  flat  in  uptown  New  York.  They 
certainly  had  nothing  to  laugh  about.  Life  was  a  cruel 
joke  to  this  young  couple.  Married.  Broke.  Jobless. 
With  a  baby  due  almost  any  day.  They  had  become  ac- 
customed to  privation,  since  the  boy  lost  his  job.  But 
how  could  you  bring  a  sweet,  cuddly  baby  into  the  world 
to  starve?  They'd  just  have  to  find  someone  to  take  it. 
They  couldn't  bear  sending  it  to  an  orphan  asylum,  like 
a  common  foundling. 

To  forget  his  troubles,  the  young  man  tuned  in.  They 
heard  the  studio  audience  laugh  at  Kay  Perkins'  sallies. 
"Darn  that  fellow,"  the  young  man  muttered.  "A  lot 
he's  got  to  worry  about,  with  a  gorgeous  home,  a  nice  son 
and  plenty  of  money.    I'm  turning  him  off,  Babe." 

But  the  germ  of  an  idea  had  been  created  in  his  wife's 
mind.    Perkins  had  so  much,  maybe  he'd  be  willing  to 
take  their  baby.    She  sat  down  and  wrote  to  Ray  Perkins. 
So  pleading  and  so  full  of  heartbreak 
was  the  letter,  that  he  answered 
it  in  person. 

WHEN    the  baby 
was    a    f  ew 
months  old  Ray 
Perkins  adopted 
it  and  he  and 
Mrs.  Perkins 
are   raising  it 
as  they  would 
their  own.  The 
real  parents 
remain  for- 
ever grateful 
to   radio  and 
Ray  Perkins 
who  has  pro- 
vided their  child  W 
with  a  home,  love 
and  all  the  advan- 
tages of  wealth. 

Elsie    Hitz  learned, 
quite  recently,  that  radio 
does  move  in  mysterious  ways 
its  wonders  to  perform.  She  knows 
a  young  man  who  owes  his  sanity  to  radio. 

Awhile  ago,  when  she  was  playing  the  lead  in  the 
"Dangerous  Paradise"  series,  she  began  receiving  hot  love 
letters  from  a  young  man  in  Philadelphia.  Let's  call  him 
Jim — obviously  we  can't  use  his  right  name. 

Plenty  of  young  men  fall  in  love  with  Elsie  Hitz's 
voice  and  send  her  love  letters,  so  as  with  the  rest,  she 
disregarded  this  one.  Came  others.  Each  week  this 
young  man's  notes  became  more  burning.  He  evidently 
needed  no  encouragement. 

One  morning  she  received  a  letter  from  a  physician  in 
Philadelphia,  this  boy's  family  doctor.  He  explained  that 
he  was  going  to  make  a  very  unusual  request,  because  he 

46 


saw  no  other  way  out.  Would  she  please  answer  this 
love-sick  l>oy  and  invite  him  down  to  New  York  for  a 
day?  The  young  man,  he  explained,  was  an  engineering 
student  who  had  had  a  nervous  breakdown.  In  spitt-  of 
everything  his  family  tried  to  do,  in  spite  of  all  he  (th*- 
doctor)  had  done,  the  boy  remained  listless,  extremely 
nervous  and  wanted  to  die.  There  was  nothing  for 
which  to  live.  Except  Elsie  Hitz's  dramatic  programs 
They  were  his  one  escajx-  from  reality  and  from  the 
overwhelming  sense  of  futility  that  oppressed  him.  He 
was  the  hero  who  rescued  his  lady  fair  from  the  clutches 
of  the  villain,  who  grabbed  her  to  safety  the  instant  before 
her  horse  leaped  down  the  precipice. 

The  doctor  felt  meeting  his  idol,  together  with  the  thrill 
of  meeting  radio  stars,  might  wake  Jim  up,  shock  him 
back  into  normality.  Miss  Hitz  might  even  be  able  to 
|>ersuade  him  to  go  back  to  school,  convince  him  that  life 
held  something  worth  fighting  for. 

Elsie  Hitz  invited  the  young  man  down.  Met  him  at 
the  train  with  her  car,  drove  him  around  all  day,  intro- 
duced him  to  big  shots  in  radio.  He  was  thrilled.  Sh( 
even  slipped  him  the  money  to  pay  for  the  dinner,  so  ht 
could  feel  like  a  big  shot  himself.  And  she  spoke  to  him 
straight  from  the  shoulder.  Told  him  to  buck  up.  T( 
go  back  to  school.  To  forget  his  troubles.  How  couk 
he  dream  of  romance  l>efore  he  had  a  profession,  befon 
he  could  support  himself  and  a  girl? 

He  agreed  to  give  it  a  try.  So  far,  it  has  worked  beau 
ti  fully.  He's  well  on  the  road  to  recovery.  But  he  doesn' 
know  till  this  day  that  the  chauffeur  who  drove  him  an( 
his  beloved  around  all  day  long  was  Elsie  Hitz's  husband 
who  saw  and  heard  all  and  said  nothing. 

I  know  of  another  time  when  radio  proved  a  life-savei 
Really  more  than  a  life-saver  to  an  old.  weary,  heartsic 
couple  in  Glassboro,  New  Jersey.    A  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jaco 
S.    Eisenhower.    In   Glassboro   they  had  bought 
modest  home,  and  raised  their  brood  of  four  som 
They  planned  to  live  out  their  days  peace  full 
there. 

Came  the  Depression — with  a  capital  D.  Th 
old  folks  (they  were  married  sixty  years 
mortgaged  their  little  home.    That  was  ba 
enough.    But  when  it  came  time  to  pay  ol 
the  mortgage,  they  didn't  have  enough  t 
pay  the  interest  on  the  $1400  due.  The 
apj>ealed  to  all  their  sons.    Three  weren 
in  a  position  to  help  them.    Their  fourt 
son.  Harry,  hadn't  even  bothered  to  ar 
swer  their  tearful  pleas.     I  think  th; 
hurt  more  than  the  fact  that  they  wer 
going  to  lose  their  home. 
How  could   they  know  that  Harry  ha  I 
moved  to  Middleport.  New  York,  and  ha1 
never  received  their  letters? 
The  house  was  to  be  sold  at  a  sheriff's  sale  <| 
three  o'clock   September  27.    After  all  thes 
years  together  they  would  be  homeless,  outcast 
penniless.     Where    could    they    go'     What  coul 
they  do? 

But  a  little  old  battery-set  radio  saved  the  day.  /I 
noon  their  son  Harry  arrived  with  his  wife.    There  w; 
no  sale  of  his  parents'  home  that  day.   No  sir.   He  sa 
to  that. 

"I  didn't  know  anything  about  these  goings  on."  11 
explained.    "Ma  and  pa  don't  write  very  often.  Y< 
know  how  it  is.    This  morning,  at  breakfast,  my  wi  » 
tuned  in  the  old  set  on  a  broadcast  that  described  lai 
being  auctioned  off  over  here.    I  almost  swallowed  nl 
fork  when  I  heard  our  old  home  was  up  for  sale." 

Now  do  you  wonder  that  radio  is  considered  a  lif 
saver?   As  you  see,  one  can  never  tell  who  will  be  next 
encounter  a  tremendous  problem.    It  may  be  you — wifl 
the  far-reaching  voice  of  radio  to  your  rescue.

IN   KATE   SMITH'S  CAP 

THIS  FAMED  SONGSTRESS  BLAZES  NEW  TRAILS  IN  RADIO 


WHEN  you've  listened  to  Kate  Smith's  Matinee  from 
three  to  four  on  Wednesdays,  that  grand  program  which 
was  inaugurated  on  September  12,  you  may  have  noticed 
that  the  merits  of  no  commercial  product  were  dinned 

'  into  your  ears. 

And  there  won't  he  on  any  future  Kate  Smith  Matinees. 
Because  the  program  already  has  a  sponsor  and  it's  not 
for  sale  to  any  national  advertiser. 
The  sponsor  is  the  Columbia  Broadcasting  System  and 

■  it's  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  radio  that  a  star  has 
been  sponsored  by  a  chain!  Which  means  that  William 
Paley,  head  of  CBS,  is  willing  to  pay  Kate  Smith  the 
big  salary  her  popularity  demands  rather  than  allow  some 
advertiser  to  take  over  the  program  and  pay  her  that  salary. 
Why  should  Columbia  spend  all  that  money?  Remem- 


ber that  usually  such  programs  are  built  up  with  the 
hope  that  they  will  graduate  from  sustaining  to  commer- 
cial, thereby  taking  the  burden  of  their  expense  from  the 
shoulders  of  the  chain,  besides  bringing  in  huge  revenue 
for  the  sale  of  the  time  itself. 

The  reason  for  Mr.  Paley's  revolutionary  move  is  his 
far-seeing  effort  to  eradicate  the  most  glaring  and  unfor- 
tunate weakness  in  the  structure  of  the  broadcasting  busi- 
ness. And  the  fact  that  he  has  chosen  Kate  Smith  to 
pioneer  in  the  elimination  of  that  weakness  is  a  bright 
new  feather  in  her  already  crowded  cap.  There's  a  story 
of  struggle  and  perseverance  behind  Kate's  victory. 

Several  months  ago  Radio  Stars  told  you  about  her 
vaudeville  tour,  which  started  out  to  last  six  weeks  and 
ended  up  as  a  six  months'   (Continued  on  payc  u6)

MEN 

are 


SAPS 


By  Marij  Jacobs 


DELILAH  made  a  monkey  out  of  Samson.  Josephine 
made  a  fool  of  Napoleon.  Cleopatra  greased  the  skids 
for  Marc  Antony,  protesting  all  the  time  that  she  loved 
him.  And  a  modern  blonde  and  a  brunette  took  the 
sweet-singing  Everett  Marshall  for  two  of  those  buggy 
rides  you  read  about. 

You'd  think  that  nowadays  in  the  sophisticated  world 
in  which  we  live  that  young  men  would  be  too  wise  to 
allow  a  girl  to  make  saps  out  of  them,  that  they  would 
weigh  the  little  woman  pretty  carefully  before  they  signed 
up  for  life. 

But  it  isn't  so — not  with  the  majority  of  men.  And 
it  wasn't  so  with  Everett  Marshall,  of  opera,  stage  and 
radio  fame. 

The  first  girl  to  entangle  his  heart  was  Mary  Ann,  a 
blue-eyed,  honey  of  a  girl  who'd  make  any  man's  heart 
skip  a  beat.  If  underneath  those  adorable  blonde  curls 
Mary  hid  a  calculating  nature,  eighteen-year-old  Everett 
was  too  naive  about  women  to  realize  it. 

Let's  go  back  to  the  city  of  Worcester,  Massachusetts, 
where  freckle-faced  Everett  Marshall  lived  on  the  wrong 
side  of  the  railroad  tracks.  Bending  over  his  back- 
breaking  job  of  laying  tracks  in  the  chain  gang  of  the 
Boston  and  Maine  Railroad,  he  dreamed  of  the  day  when 
he  would  be  a  Metropolitan  Opera  star.  And  each  Sun- 
day he  came  one  step  closer  to  his  world  of  golden  dreams, 
for  dressed  in  his  finest  he  went  to  sing  in  the  weekly 
concert  at  the  Worcester  Music  Academy. 

One  day  there  was  a  new  girl  at  the  piano,  a  bright, 
blue-eyed  bit  of  a  girl,  with  a  turned-up  nose.  She  wasn't

(Insert)  a  closeup  of  the  baritone. 


slow  in  noticing  this  handsome,  though  gawky,  young 
Everett  in  his  stiffly  pressed  blue  serge.  He  was  such  a 
shy  and  timid  kid  who  had  made  no  real  friends,  be- 
cause he  felt  he  didn't  l>elong.  When  Mary  Ann  smiled, 
his  whole  world  changed. 

Together  they  walked  home  from  the  concert.  Every 
look  of  Mary  Ann's,  every  softly  spoken  word,  told  him 
the  thing  no  girl  had  even  hinted  before.    She  liked  him ! 

That  Sunday  marked  the  beginning  of  four  long  years 
of  paradise  for  Everett.  Now  he  had  someone  who  cared. 
Someone  besides  himself  to  work  for.  Finally,  when 
he  was  promoted  to  an  office  job  at  thirty  dollars  a  week, 
he  spoke  to  his  sweetheart  about  plans  for  the  future. 

"Mary,"  he  said,  "you  know  how  I  feel  about  you. 
You're  bound  up  with  all  my  dreams  of  the  future. 
Everybody's  been  urging  me  to  go  to  New  York  and 
develop  my  voice.  I've  saved  up  enough  to  take  vocal 
lessons  for  a  little  while,  so  why  can't  we  get  married 
now  and  go  to  New  York,  where  I  can  get  some  sort 
of  a  chance  at  music?  You  know  there's  nothing  doing 
here." 

Mary  turned  blazing  eyes  on  hfm.  "Go  to  New  York  *r" 
she  asked.  "Are  you  crazy?  Do  you  mean  to  say  you 
are  ready  to  give  up  a  good  iob  with  a  regular  salary 
to  take  a  chance  on  music?  Look  at  all  the  men  with 
voices  better  than  yours  who  never  got  anywhere!  W  hat 
makes  you  so  sure  you'd  do  well  in  New  York?  And 
what  do  you  think  I'll  live  on  while  we're  in  New  York — 
peanuts?   If  you  want  to  marry  me  we'll  stay  right  here.'" 

"I  guess  you're  right,"  he  (Continued  on  page  9ff)

ALBERT  PAYSON  TERHUNE 


This  is  the  story  of  a  man  who 
loathed   his   work   for  twenty-two 

years. 

And  finally  made  the  thing  he 
loved  pay  him  rich  dividends. 

I'm  talking  of  Alhert  I'ayson 
Terhune.  whom  you  hear  on  the 
air  every  Sunday  afternoon  telling 
his  amazing  stories  of  dog  heroism 
His  job,  you  know,  is  raising  dogs, 
writing  about  them,  talking  al>out 
them  and  loving  them.  And  I  don't 
know  any  other  job  in  the  world 
like  it. 

He  knows  more  astonishing  facts 
about  dogs  than  any  other  human. 
For  instance  he  knows  that  dogs 
have  better  memories  than  ele- 
phants, that  they  have  a  keener 
sense  of  intuition  than  women.  A 
dog  two  years  old  has  several  times 
as  much  sense  and  education  as  a 
child  of  two.  He  claims  that  dogs 
can  read  your  moods  and  work 
problems  that  call  for  reasoning. 
They  can  distinguish  the  engine 
throb  of  a  car  a  mile  away. 

Yet  he  has  never  known  a  dog 
that  had  enough  sense  to  unwind  his 
chain  when  he  had  tangled  it  or  a 
dog  with  brains  enough  to  lay  a 
stick  on  the  hearth  when  the  fire

.vas  dying.  He  doesn't  know  why  dogs  have  this  queer 
)lend  of  super  and  subhuman  intelligence,  hut  he  swears 
:hat  they  do. 

But  before  I  tell  you  some  of  his  amazing  experiences 
in  dogdom  I  want  you  to  know  a  little  about  this  six  foot 
:wo  inch  giant  who  has  devoted  his  life  to  his  four-footed 
friends. 

As  those  of  us  who  listened-in  on  one  of  his  first  radio 
broadcasts  realize,  Albert  Payson  Terhune  wasn't  always 
so  thoughtful  of  dogs.  Once  he  was  a  mischievous  boy 
with  all  the  unconscious  cruelty  of  youth.  Let's  go  back 
to  an  incident  that  took  place  over  half  a  century  ago, 
when  Terhune,  a  child  of  six,  was  playing  on  the  front 
steps  at  Sunnybank  Farm.  Romping  in  the  gravel  path 
before  him  were  three  pudgy,  flop-eared  pointer  pups, 
blissfully  content.  Suddenly  an  idea  struck  the  youngster. 
Grabbing  the  pup  nearest  him  he  took  a  firm  hold  on 
its  ears  and  swung  it  back  and  forth,  higher  and  higher. 
It  was  grand  sport!  The  puppy  emitted  such  loud  yelps 
of  pain  and  terror! 

From  nowhere  the  elder  Terhune  appeared.  Without 
a  word  he  released  the  pointer  pup  from  his  son's  grasp 
and  gently  placed  it  back  with  its  brothers.  Then,  turn- 
ing quickly,  he  picked  young  Albert  up  by  his  ears  and 
swung  him  back  and  forth,  pendulum  style,  just  as  Albert 
had  swung  the  puppy. 

Three  times  he  swung  him  back  and  forth  through  the 
air,  the  child's  screams  shattering  the  stillness  of  the 
atmosphere  like  a  blast.  Then,  as  unexpectedly  as  he 
had  come,  the  father  disappeared  into  the  house,  leaving 
his  son  sobbing  with  pain.  And  bewilderment,  for  his 
tiny  world  had  collapsed.    His  kind,  good  father,  who 


had  never  harmed  anyone,  had  deliberately  tortured  him 
and  his  young  mind  couldn't  grasp  the  situation. 

CUDDENLY,  he  felt  something  soft  and  warm  nestling 
up  to  him,  felt  a  hot  little  tongue  licking  at  his  hands 
and  his  feet,  timidly  touching  his  face.  He  heard  a  queer 
grunting  sound  of  sympathy,  accompanied  by  light  pats 
of  the  forepaw.  The  pup,  the  very  one  he  had  hurt  so 
dreadfully,  was  trying  to  comfort  him,  to  ease  his  pain. 
In  a  flash  he  understood.  It  dawned  on  him  that  he  was 
suffering  what  the  little  pointer  had  suffered ;  that  he  had 
tortured  the  puppy  exactly  as  his  father  had  tortured  him. 
Why,  he  could  learn  more  from  that  dog  than  it  could 
learn  from  him.  It  forgave  him  his  cruelty,  was  loyal 
even  through  abuse. 

Since  then  he  has  been  a  dog-lover  and  student,  but  for 
twenty-two  years  he  did  not  realize  that  he  could  turn 
his  hobby  into  cold  cash.  Instead,  he  was  pushed  into 
a  field  he  hated — newspaper  work.  When  he  was  a  young 
man  of  twenty-two,  a  friend  got  him  a  job  as  a  cub 
reporter  on  the  old  New  York  Evening  World,  and  there 
he  stayed  for  twenty-two  years,  detesting  it  all  the  time. 
In  fact,  he  might  have  been  fired  from  his  work  early  in 
his  career  except  for  an  accident. 

Mistaken  for  a  detective  by  a  group  of  strikers  while 
he  was  still  very  green,  he  was  beaten  and  assaulted. 
When  they  discovered  their  error,  they  were  so  ashamed 
that  to  square  matters  they  gave  him  every  scoop  available 
and  his  editor  marveled  at  the  dumb  cub  reporter  who  so 
rapidly  developed  into  a  brilliant  newspaper  man. 

Just  before  the  War  he  got  up  enough  courage  to  leave 
newspaper  work,  hoping  to  earn  (Continued  on  page  92)

TURNS  M.C. 


LADIES  AND  GENTS,  ARE  YOU  HEP  TO  THE 
HOT  NEWS  ON  THE  KILOCYCLE  FRONTIER? 


IT  concerns  Lanny  Ross,  star  of  Show  Boat  and 
the  new  movie  called  "College  Rhythm." 
Briefly,  Lanny  Ross  has  turned  m.  c. 
So  what  is  an  m.  c?  Well,  it's  an  important  sort 
of  fellow  who  keeps  the  ball  rolling,  the  spirit  soar- 
ing and  the  music  on  the  up-beat.  It's  an  important 
sort  of  fellow  who  can  sing,  sooth  and  satisfy  with 
both  hands  tied  l)ehind  him.  It's  a  sort  of  important 
person  who  has  what  the  girls  call  "them"  and  the 
boys  call  "schmaltz."  An  m.  c.  is  a  master  of  cere- 
monies .  .  .  and  that  is  Lanny's  latest  job  on  the  jim- 
jamrned  ether  avenues. 

His  sponsor  is  Log  Cabin  Syrup  and  his  show  is 
called  "Lanny  Ross  and  His  Log  Cabin  Inn,"  featur- 
ing  his   Log   Cabin   Orchestra.   And   what   an  Inn. 
It's  a  sit-me-down  hangout  for  the  real  blue  bloods 
of  society  and  the  stage.    With  as 
bon-tonny   an   atmosphere   as  ever 
trickled   through  your  loudspeaker, 
with  a  velvet-voiced  orchestra  and 
a  brand  new  hatful  of  tricks,  Lanny 
Ross  bids  fair  to  make  all  America 
Log  Cabin   Inn  conscious. 

If  your  Wednesday  nights  need 
needling  tune  in  to  the  WJZ  blue 
network  of  NBC  and  get  that  lift. 
Many  a  gay  couple  is  making  the

point  duty.) 


No,  I  am  not  listening  to  the  propaganda  broadcasts 
in  the  English  language  from  the  U.  S.  S.  R.  I  couldn't 
get  them  any  more,  if  I  tried.  Somebody  else  has  taken 
care  of  that  little  matter. 

Why  all  the  mystery,  then?  Isn't  England  the  land  of 
traditional  freedom  ? 

This  is  my  secret  and  this  is  my  crime :  I  have  not  paid 
my  ten-shilling  wireless  license  tax.  I  am  a  'pirate.'  I 
am  one  of  two  million  who  listen-in,  very  quietly,  whose 
neighbors  would  thank  the  gods  of  piracy  if  they  knew. 


But  they  do  not  know.  We  have  not  even  an  aerial  to 
point  to  our  misdeed.  People  don't  have  outside  aerials 
in  London.  It's  not  allowed.   It  doesn't  look  nice. 

Six  million  people  in  England,  though,  are  not  pirates. 
They  each  pay  their  license  fee  of  about  two  dollars  and 
a  half  each  year.  And  that's  not  all  they  pay.  Radios  cost 
important  money  in  England.  Twenty  guineas — or  al>out 
eighty-five  dollars — is  bottom  price  for  wireless  sets. 

I  didn't  buy  my  radio.  I  rented  it.  Because  of  the  high 
price  of  sets,  renting  is  a  popular  system.  I  pay  eleven 
shillings  a  month,  or  about  two  dollars  and  seventy-five 
cents.  This  includes  service,  moving  if  I  move,  and  re- 
placement by  a  new  model  as  mine  goes  out  of  date.  That 
comes  to  about  thirty-three    (Continued  on  paye  74)

Senator  Frank-

— need  we  say 
more? 


Berinj?er 


IF  you  had  thirty  minutes  to  spend  on  a  radio  program, 
and  they  were  all  you  had,  where  and  how  would 
you  spend  them  to  get  the  biggest  and  best  for  your 
time?    Speak  up,  you  thrifty  dial  twiddlers,  you 
demon  higglers  and  hagglers — where? 

The  answer  is — if  I  haven't  taken  the  words  out  of 
your  mouth — the  Carefree  Carnival.  Broadcast  Saturday 
nights  from  Station  KPO  in  San  Francisco.  A  Cali- 
fornia program  that  is  big,  that  is  practically  perfect, 
yet  has  naught  to  do  with  the  climate  or  the  motion  pic- 
ture colony. 

Radio's  greatest  bargain !  And  for  the  following  rea- 
sons :  The  Carefree  Carnival  offers  you,  for  your  time, 
crooners  and  torch  singers,  a  quartet,  a  fern  trio  and 
an  orchestra  on  a  par  with  anything  in  the  East.    It  has 


hill-billy  singers  headed  by  the  l)est  cowboy  voice  on  the 
air.  A  harmonica  player  and  a  man  with  a  "stummick 
piano"  as  good  as  Phil  Baker.  And  that's  not  all.  There's 
a  lisping,  baby-voiced  innocent  who  recalls  Portland  Hoffa 
of  Fred  Allen's  program,  and  a  comedian  who  chews, 
hacks  and  strangles  words  better  than  Roy  Atwell  of 
the  same  Mr.  Allen's  program.  The  word  mangier  under 
discussion  is  billed  as  Senator  Frankenstein  Fishface. 

There's  more,  too.  The  Carnival  includes  a  dumb 
dame  and  stooge  who  are  Burns  and  Allen  of  the  West, 
and  another  pair  whose  act  is  on  a  spot  midway  between 
Cantor,  Wynn,  Penner  and  Pearl.  Finally,  but  by  no 
means  least,  it  has  the  flavor  of  a  Rudy  Vallee  or  Paul 
Whiteman  seance,  only  lots  more  homey  and  informal. 

Now  is  that  a  bargain  or  is  that  a  bargain?    The  only

type  of  humor  not  represented  is  that  of  Amos  'n'  Andy 
and  the  Goldbergs,  but  they'll  come  to  it  yet.  For  ail 
of  that,  my  friends  of  the  great  Eastern  spaces,  this 
program  is  no  copycat.  It  has  sparkle  and  ideas.  It  has 
a  gusto  all  its  own.  And  it  is  developing  stars.  Ryan 
and  Xoblette  and  Tommy  Harris,  all  three  were  stars 
on  the  Carefree  hour  before  the  wise  men  of  the  East 
spotted  them.  Nelson  Case  was  the  program's  announcer. 
Now  he  too  has  crossed  the  Mississippi.  Neither  Case 
nor  the  others  were  known  until  the  KPO  feature 
pitched  them  into  the  limelight. 

Back  in  1933.  month  of  June,  the  Carnival  was  born. 
It  was  brought  into  the  world  to  be  a  summer  fill-in,  but 
fooled  its  parents.  It  knocked  listeners  into  the  aisles 
from  Puget  Sound  to  Palo  Alto.    It  became  the  sensa- 


tion of  the  West  Coast.  So  it  stayed.  And  stayed, 
with  no  time  off.  The  letters  poured  in.  The  program 
crept  East,  with  the  permission  of  the  engineers,  getting 
as  far  as  Chicago  on  the  first  creep.  A  few  months  ago 
it  reached  New  York.  Here  it  is  today,  a  regular  feature 
of  the  NBC  networks — and  the  networkers  are  glad  it's 
there.  People  like  a  bargain,  whether  it's  time  or  money

LATEST  to  join  the  ranks  of  Kentucky  colonels  is  Abe 
Lyman. 

Richard  Himber,  leader  of  the  Studebaker  Champions, 
has  had  his  contract  renewed  for  another  year. 

To  Leopold  Stokowski  goes  the  honor  of  directing 
radio's  biggest  band.  He  batoned 
1000  musicians  in  Yankee  Stadium  in 
New  York  at  a  benefit  held  as  a 
gesture  of  sympathy  to  the  Jewish 
refugees  from  Germany. 

The  reason  Mark  Warnow  was 
relieved  of  his  sustaining  band  spots 
on  CBS  was  so  that  he  could  give  full  time  to  his  two 
commercials,  "Forty-Five  Minutes  in  Hollywood"  and 
the  Admiral  Byrd  broadcasts. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Al  Goodman  recently  celebrated  their 
twenty-third  wedding  anniversary.  And  he's  directing 
more  radio  and  Broadway  shows  than  ever. 

Last  year  Director  Clyde  Lucas,  who  batoned  an  ork 
at  the  University  of  Kansas  a  decade  ago  along  with 
Buddy  Rogers,  announced  his  engagement  to  Frances 
Langford  of  the  NBC  Colgate  House  Party.  But 
Frances,  who  was  singing  over  NBC  from  Chicago  at 
the  time,  went  back  to  New  York  and  nothing  has  come 


of  it.    No  reasons  given.    Frances  now  has  a  new  beau. 

Wayne  King  is  in  his  eighth  season  as  maestro  of  th 
Aragon  Ballroom  in  Chicago.    At  the  sister  ballroom 
the  Trianon,  Jan  Garber  is  playing  his  second  seaso- 
Arlene  Sohr,  vocalist  with  Ted  Black's  NBC  ork,  i 
really  Mrs.  Ted  Black. 

Victor  Young  is  now  general  musi- 
cal director  of  Decca,  the  new  record- 
ing firm.  He  used  to  be  the  same  for 
Brunswick. 

The  Jan  Garbers  have  turned  dowr 
an  offer  from  Paramount  to  hav 
their  daughter  Janice,  five  years  old,  go  into  pictures. 
Paramount  spotted  the  girl  on  Catalina  Island  this  sum- 
mer and  wanted  to  pit  her  against  Fox's  Shirley  Temple 
Johnny  Mercer,  Paul  Whiteman's  song  writer  and  seal 
singer,  has  another  song  out  to  follow  his  composition 
"Pardon  My  Southern  Accent."  The  new  one  is  "P.  S 
I  Love  You." 

For  those  who've  asked,  the  four  original  songs  or 
the  opening  broadcast  of  "The  Gibson  Family"  on  NBC 
Saturdays  are:  "Absent  Minded,"  "Cowboy,  Where  An 
You  Riding-o?"  "Under  Your  Spell"  and  "Hi  De  Homt 
Sweet  Home."    If  any  one  of  these  turn  out  to  be  a  hit!

for  this  NBC  radio  program. 

Carlos  Molina,  the  maestro  from  Colombia,  South 
America,  who  is  now  enlivening  the  Columbia  network 
with  rhuml)as  this  fall  from  the  Stevens  Hotel  in  Chicago, 
will  carry  his  cariocas  to  the  Miami  Biltmore  Hotel  on 
Christmas  Day  and  will  play  at  the  swank  Florida  spot 
for  the  winter  season. 

Buddy  Rogers  and  his  band  are  to  be  on  the  air  this 
fall  from  the  Arcadia  in  Philadelphia,  a  spot  said  to  have 
the  financial  backing  of  Joseph  Widener.  Thus  the  Ward 
Family  Theatre  program  featuring  Buddy  and  Jeannie 
Lang  has  been  moved  from  Chicago  to  New  York. 

Frank  Simon,  cornet  soloist  and  bandmaster  of  the 
Armco  Concert  Band  on  NBC  Sundays,  is  one  of  the 
few  maestros  to  hold  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Music. 

Hail  radio's  most  novel  band — "The  Knights  of  the 
Gray  Underwear" — the  home-made  band  of  the  Admiral 
Byrd  Expedition  in  Little  America. 

Vincent  Lopez  is  scheduled  to  play  his  first  commercial 
program  from  the  West  Coast  this  fall.  It's  the  Demitasse 
Revue,  an  NBC  show  going  no  further  east  than  Kansas 
City.  Lopez  is  to  play  at  the  Beverly  Wilshire  Hotel  in 
California  this  season  in  competition  with  Ted  Fio-Rito 


at  the  famed  Cocoanut  Grove.  Ted.  you  know,  also 
has  a  commercial,  the  "Hollywood  -Hotel"  starring  Dick 
Powell  and  Rowene  Williams.  Chicago  girl  who  was 
picked  in  a  national  audition  by  CBS. 

Odd  as  it  seems,  Art  Kassel  has  an  NBC  microphone 
at  the  Bismarck  Hotel  in  Chicago  for  his  sustaining  band 
programs,  yet  his  commercial  is  broadcast  three  times  a 
week  over  CBS.

the  South  American  conductor  of  the  new  NBC  Hous<

Why  was  Harold  Stokes,  NBC  conductor,  off  the  air

.  .  .  .  EIGHT!  NINE! 
TEN  !  The  Winnah  !  In 
fact  Miss  Ethel  Sale  of 
Oklahoma  City,  Okla- 
homa, has  such  a  punch 
in  her  two  straight  for- 
ward questions  about 
radio  artists  that  she  had 
Uncle  Answer  Man 
groggy  for  days  at  the 
sheer  simplicity  of  her 
interrogation.  Thus  does 
Ethel  win  the  $5.00  from 
Radio  Stars. 

And  V.  R.  Behm  of 
Waterbury,  Connecticut 
delivers  a  nice  telling 
body  blow.  So  the  $3.00 
goes  to  the  Behm  family. 

Furthermore,  that 
snappy  little  rabbit  punch 
which  is  packed  by  Vir- 
ginia Palmer-Ball  of 
Louisville,  Kentucky, 
isn't  so  bad  either.  That 
little  sock,  lady,  is  going 
to  cost  the  Answer  Man 
$2.00  more  and  is  he  glad 
to  give  it. 

Thus  is  Radio  Stars' 
Uncle  Answer  Man  so 
pleased  by  people  who  do 
not :  ( 1 )  Ask  for  per- 
sonal replies  to  their 
questions;  (2)  Ask  for 
addresses  of  radio  ar- 
tists ; (3)  Ask  about  non- 
network  stars ;  (4)  Ask 
their  questions  be  an- 
swered in  the  next  issue ; 

(5)  Ask  questions  which 
have  been  answered  an 
issue  or  two  before,  and 

(6)  Ask  more  than  two 
questions.  He's  so 
pleased  he's  glad  to  fling 
money  about  to  worthy 
inquisitors. 

As    for    the  Distin- 
guished Service  Award  to  Uncle  Answer  Man,  the  editor 
says,  "No!"  So  that's  that. 

Looka!   Here's  how  straightforward  Miss  Sale  is: 

Question  1.  Does  Marion  in  "Smackout"  program  im- 
personate all  female  parts? 

A.  You  betcha. 

Question  2.  Does  Jim  in  same  program  impersonate  all 
male  parts  ? 

A.  I'll  betcha  this  time.  Both  do. 
And  here's  the  Behm  conciseness : 

Question  1.  What  happened  to  Tim  and  Irene  of  the 
"Carefree  Carnival?" 

A.  Casually,  Uncle  Answer  Man  would  suggest  turn- 
ing the  tuner-inner  of  your  set  to  any  one  of  the  NBC 
blue  network  stations  which  carry  the  program  "Tim  and 
Irene's  Sky  Road  Show"  Tuesday  nights  at  10:30.  Sorry 
that  the  station  list  is  unavailable. 

Now  for  the  clarity  of  Virginia  Palmer-Ball : 

Question  1.  On  what  stations  may  the  "Ivory  Stamp 
Club"  be  heard? 

A.  That's  easy.  WJZ,  New  York,  only. 

Question  2.    Where  did  first  Byrd  broadcast  originate?

A.  If,  Virginia 
Palmer- Hall,  you  mean 
the  first  sponsored  Byrd 
broadcast,  it  was  from 
the  flagship  .9.  S.  Jacob 
Ruppert  in  the  Pacific 
Ocean,  en  route  to  New 
Zealand.  That  broad- 
cast took  place  Novem- 
ber 17,  1933.  But  if  you 
mean  the  first  non-spon- 
sored broadcast,  of  this 
series,  it  was  from  the 
Jacob  Ruppert  tied  up  at 
her  pier  at  Boston, 
Massachusetts,  about  six 
weeks  before  the  Pacific 
program. 

And  now,  peepul,  hav- 
ing seen  how  nice  and 
easy  questions  can  be 
made  for  your  poor, 
tired  Uncle  Answer  Man, 
we'll  continue  with  the 
rest. 

Q.  Are  any  parts  of 
the  Palmolive  Beauty 
Box  Theatre  or  Cam- 
pana's  Little  Theatre  off 
Times  Square,  electric- 
ally transcribed? 

A.  You  mean  are  they 
on  records?  Yup.  But 
it's  only  the  sound  ef- 
fects of  the  lobby  in  the 
first  case  and  the  street 
noises  in  the  second  case. 
So  they  tell  me  at  NBC, 
anyhow. 

•  Q.  What  are  the  names 
of  Bing  Crosby's  twins? 

A.  Hey    now,  that 
ain't  fair,  two  timing  me 
by  putting  two  questions 
into  one  like  that.  Oh, 
all  right !  They  are  Phil- 
lip   Lang    and  Dennis 
Michael,  born  in  July, 
and  just  to  forestall  any 
further  questions  about  the  Crosby  progeny,  his  first  baby 
was  Gary  Evan,  born  June  27,  1933.   You  bet  Bing's 
proud ! 

Q.  Is  Tiny  Ruffner  of  Show  Boat  fame  married; 
A  father  of  children ;  over  six  feet  four  inches  ?  And 
how  old  is  he? 

A.  Wow!  Wotta  order.  Well,  he's  old  enough  to  know 
better,  which  he  does.  He  was  born  November  8,  1899. 
He  has  no  children — yet.  He  is  six  feet  four  and  one-half 
inches  tall. 

Q.  What's  happened  to  the  Landt  Trio  and  White?  . 

A.  Waddye  mean  what's  happened  to  'em?  Don't  you 
listen  to  them  on  the  NBC,  WJZ-blue  network  every 
morning  except  Sunday  at  8:15?  You  don't,  eh?  Wei: 
rise  and  shine,  folks,  rise  and  shine. 

Q.  When  was  Annette  Hanshaw  born? 

A.  Betcha  those  who  asked  that  want  to  cast  her  horo- 
scope. Well,  it  was  October  18,  1910. 

Q.  Is  Carefree  Carnival  sponsored? 

A.  Nope. 

Q.  How  old  is  Harriet  Hilliard  ? 

A.  Twenty-three.   July  18th  is  her  birthday.

MY  "TIME  19 


GREETINGS,  friends  and  radio  fans. 

With  the  familiar  words -of  thi^ 
theme  song,  I  introduce  our  guest  star, 
Rudy  Vallee.  I  am  greatly  pleased  to 
have  Rudy  with  us,  not  only  hecause 
of  his  long-standing  popularity  as  Mas- 
ter of  Ceremonies  of  the  Fleischmann 
Hour  and  as  singer,  orchestra  leader  and  movie  star,  but 
ilso  because  Rudy,  being  from  "down  Maine'"  way.  I  feel 
hat  he  is  just  the  right  person  to 
jive  us  some  pointers  for  this  par- 
icular  Radio  Cooking  School  broad- 
est. For  this  is  not  only  "your 
une  and  my  time,"  as  the  theme 
song  suggests,  but  Thanksgiving 
time  as  well !  And  who  better  is 
there  with  whom  to  discuss  Thanks- 
giving than  a  New  Englander. 

With  this  idea  in  mind.  I  started 
out  to  interview  Mr.  Vallee  on  the 
subject  of  Thanksgiving  Dav  in  the 
Vallee  home  back  in  those  days  be- 
fore college  and  the  exacting  re- 
quirements of  fame  made  reunions 
there  difficult,  if  not  actually  im- 
passible. Armed  with  determina- 
tion, a  pad.  a  pencil  and  a  lot  of 
preconceived  notions  orf  traditional 

Thanksgiving  foods  and  customs,  1  sallied  forth  to  find 
this  native  son  of  the  State  of  Maine.  I  soon  discovered 
that  I  needed  both  pencil  and  pad.  for  I  had  to  copy 
down  a  menu  for  a  Gargantuan  meal  and  to  write  down 
some  new  ideas  of  what  constituted  a  real  New  England 
Thanksgiving.  I  also  found  that  1  had  even  greater  need 
for  determination,  since,  in  order  to  get  these  interesting 
answers  for  you.  your  scribe  had  to  pursue  the  busy  Rudy 
from  rehearsal  to  office  to  broadcast,  throwing  breathless 
questions  at  him  the  while.  Then  when  my  informant 
finally  escaped  me  to  rush  down  to  his  job  as  orchestra 
leader  in  a  smart  Long  Island  restaurant.  I  asked  Rudv's

in  New  England.

brother.  Bill  Vallee,  to  pinch  hit  for  him  in  supplying 
the  few  missing  details.  This  he  most  kindly  did  and  as 
a  result  of  this  collaboration  I  am  able  to  supply  you  with 
a  very  complete  description  of  the  type  of  foods  that  have 
made  the  New  England  observance  of  Thanksgiving  Day 
famous  the  world  over.  I'm  sure  you'll  agree  that  this 
feast  had  staunch  and  worthy  advocates  in  the  Yallees 
and  furthermore  that  a  dinner  as  perfect  as  theirs  merits 
the  flattery  of  imitation. 

In  the  first  place,  Thanksgiving 
Day  in  Rudv's  Maine  home  started 
off  with  a  large  breakfast.  This 
was  followed  by  a  brisk  walk.  After 
hearing  that  the  breakfast  included 
such  things  as  pie,  I  am  inclined  to 
believe  that  the  walk  was  dictated, 
not  so  much  by  the  esthetic  thrill  of 
viewing  the  lovely  fall  landscape, 
nor  even  by  an  enthusiasm  for  exer- 
cise per  sc,  but  by  the  necessity  for 
shaking  down  the  meal  already  par- 
taken in  order  to  create  an  appetite 
for  the  next  one !  And  that  next 
meal,  of  course,  was  dinner,  pre- 
pared by  Rudy's  mother,  his  sister 
and  various  other  helpers  and 
proudly  served  at  1  :30  after  hours 
of  cheerful,  advance  preparation. 
"Was  there  any  Thanksgiving  tradition  observed  at  that 
dinner?"  I  inquired. 

"Yes,  indeed,  there  was  one  tradition  invariably  adhered 
to,"  replied  Rudv  with  emphasis.  "We  over-ate!  And 
when  you  hear  all  the  good  things  we  had  to  eat  you'll 
understand  why." 

It  was  then  that  he  suggested  that  I  really  ought  to 
write  down  the  menu,  since  it  was  a  long  one  and  we 
would  not  wish  to  omit  one  single  item.  Thinking  this 
advice  excellent.  I  brought  forth  my  trusty  j>encil  and 
note  book  and  that  is  how  I  now  happen  to  have  tlii - 
simply  grand  Thanksgiving  (Continued  on  page  72'

Time  we  did  something  about 

time. 

Summer  having  faded  into  au- 
tumn and  daylight  saving  having 
been  put  away  in  Papa  Time's 
cedar  chest,  we're  going  to 
simplify  your  life  by  breaking 
down  our  station  lists  into  time 
divisions. 

First,  find  out  whether  you  live 
in  the  Eastern,  Central,  Mountain 
or  Pacific  time  zones.  Then  you 
can  select  your  stations  from  the 
EST,  CST,  MST  or  PST  groups  as 
the  case  may  be,  without  bother- 
ing to  go  through  the  whole  list. 
If  you  live  where  you  hear  sta- 
tions in  two  time  zones,  you'll 
have  to  pick  from  two  groups. 

Either  that,  or  move.

knew  it.    "I  can't,  sweetheart."    Hi-,  lips 
moved  against  my  bare  shoulder.     "I  love 
you  too  much.    Isn't  it  going  to  be  you 
and  I  always,  pretty  soon  ?" 
"Yes,"  I  whispered. 

I  ACQUITTED  myself  very  well  at  the 
'  audition  Mr.  Blake  had  arranged  for 
me,  the  next  afternoon.  I  was  too  much 
in  love,  too  rapt  in  my  own  private  para- 
dise to  be  nervous.  And  once  inside  the 
sound-proof  studio  where  I  was  to  sing,  I 
didn't  even  mind  the  presence  of  Mr.  Blake, 
and  the  thin,  grizzled  man,  my  accompan- 
ist told  me,  was  Mr.  Paxon.  of  the  Paxon 
Drug  stores,  behind  the  plate-  glass  of  the 
sponsor's  gallery. 

I  just  sang  my  love  and  longing  for 
Cass  into  the  mike — and  it  was  enough ! 
Then  Mr.  Blake  and  his  client  came  out, 
and  we  went  into  one  of  the  executive 
offices  where  Cass  was  waiting.  I  left  all 
the  business  part  of  it  to  him,  and  when  we 
left  the  building  I  had  a  thirteen  weeks 
contract  at  a  hundred  a  week  tucked  in  my 
purse.  Cass  was  pleased,  though  he  had 
tried  to  raise  the  ante. 

I  was  only  to  broadcast  over  a  local  sta- 
tion, but  it  had  chain  affiliations.  "And 
when  this  contract  runs  out,  they'll  be  bid- 
ding for  you,  Baby!"  Cass  promised  ex- 
ultantly. "Good  publicity — the  right  sort 
of  build-up — and  you're  going  to  be  all 
set!    Leave  it  to  trie,  sweetheart." 

I  almost  asked  him  if  my  singing  was 
important  at  all.  And  then  I  smothered 
the  ungracious  impulse.  He  was  right,  of 
course. 

That  night,  I  cooked  dinner  for  the  two 
of  us  on  an  electric  grill  in  his  apartment, 
pretending  that  we  were  married.  It  hurt 
me,  indefinably,  when  Cass  laughed  at  me 
for  liking  to  'play  house.'  But  I  turned 
the  chops  and  laughed  too. 

"You'll  be  glad  I  do,  when  we're 
married!"  I  told  him.  "I  don't  just  want 
to  be  a  successful  radio  star,  Cass.  Sing- 
ing for  you  isn't  enough.  I  want  to  darn 
your  socks  and  cook  your  meals  and  be 
the  one  you  come  home  to.  darling." 

He  drew  me  out  of  the  hole-in-the-wall 
kitchenette  and  I  forgot  all  about  the 
chops,  the  hashed  brown  potatoes.  But  the 
lovely  feel  of  his  arms  wasn't  enough. 
Why  didn't  he  say  something?  My  heart 
skipped  a  beat. 

"I  want  all  that  as  much  as  you  do." 
he  said  after  a  long  minute.  "But  we've 
got  to  be  smart,  honey.  You've  got  your 
start   now;    vou're   going   to   show  'em. 


Myra  Gorman  is  going  to  be  the  biggest 
attraction  on  the  networks  six  months 
from  now.    That's  what  you  want,  isn't  it, 

Baby?" 

Was  it?  There  was  something  else  I 
wanted,  even  more. 

"But  marrying  anybody  would  hurt  your 
chance-,  sweet.  Until  you're  established, 
famous.  Ask  anybody.  Marriage  takes  the 
glamor  from  a  radio  star;  radio  fans  don't 
want  to  think  of  their  favorite  torch  singer 
darning  -ock-  and  cooking  meals.  Fori 
your  sake,  wouldn't  it  be  a  whole  lotj 
better  to  wait?" 

I  think,  crazy  about  him  as  I  was,  want 
ing  to  believe  his  specious  argument  as  I 
did.  my  disillusionment  was  complete  as 
it  was  ever  to  be,  in  that  anguished  mo 
ment. 

Had  he  ever  really  meant  to  marry  me: 
I  knew  I  couldn't  bear  to  know  the  an- 
swer. Xot  then !  I  turned  away,  anc 
turning.  I  knocked  a  goblet  fromthe  table 
It  shattered  to  a  thousand  bits.  Like  mj 
happiness  that  Cass  had  held  in  his  twe 
hands !  "I  never  thought  of  that,"  I  sak 
in  a  small,  flat  voice.    "We'll  wait,  Cass. 

So  we  waited. 


II. 


The  misery  of  that  evening  which  shoul< 
have  been  the  happiest  of  my  life,  didn' 
stay  acute,  of  course.  Rapture  and  heart 
break  both  scale  up  and  down  like  a  tem 
perature  chart.  And  now  that  I  was  sing 
ing  on  the  Paxon  Drug  Hour,  and  makin 
good,  my  life  was  full,  even  pleasant, 
loved  Cass  De  Voe  as  desperately  as  evei 
and  no  one  could  have  had  a  more  devote 
lover.  If  he  was  going  to  tire  of  me  late 
and  isn't  that  the  secret  terror  of  ever 
girl  in  my  position,  he  showed  no  sigr 
of  it  in  the  busy,  hectic  weeks  that  fo 
lowed.  There  were  nights  when  I  didn 
see  him.  of  course.  But  he  was  buildin 
me  up.  getting  me  the  publicity  that  ever 
newcomer  to  radio  needs.  And  I  was  bus 
too.  Our  relationship  seemed  as  close,  ; 
perfect  as  ever.  (If  it  had  ever  bet 
either  outside  of  my  enthralled  imagin;, 
tion ! )  But  I  couldn't  bring  myself  to  gj 
to  his  apartment  again.  So  I  took  a  sma I] 
furnished  place,  and  made  it  as  attract^ 
as  possible,  and  he  came  there. 

We  had  to  be  careful.  I  couldn't  affoi 
a  breath  of  scandal,  and  I  was  touched  at 
grateful  to  Cass  for  protecting  me  frc 
any  studio  gossip.

If  you  are  the  type  to  get  hungry  at  the 
very  sight  of  this  menu,  if  the  thought  of 
these  dishes  makes  your  mouth  water,  you'd 
die  of  starvation  on  the  spot  to  hear  Rudy 
and  his  brother  describe  how  truly  de- 
licious everything  was.  For,  according  to 
both  the  Vallees,  their  mother  was  a  mar- 
velous cook. 

"In  what  type  of  cooking  was  she  most 
proficient?"  I  asked,  to  which  Rudy  replied, 
"It  would  be  impossible  to  say  that  she  ex- 
celled in  any  one  thing  because  everything 
she  cooked  was  superfine."  He  then  went 
on  to  describe  the  dinner  table,  so  laden  with 
good  things  to  eat  that,  "there  was  no  room 
for  any  decorations  except  food !" 

EVERYTHING    was    put   on,  "family 

style"  before  the  folks  were  called  in. 
And  such  a  vision  of  plenty  as  met  the 
eye — the  turkey,  crisp  and  brown  and 
HUGE,  holding  the  place  of  honor  in 
front  of  "Pop"  who  always  carved.  The 
traditional  Thanksgiving  bird  would  be 
fairly  bursting  with  a  chestnut  stuffing  the 
like  of  which  Rudy  claims  he  has  never 
tasted  anywhere  since.  Then  there  was  a 
countless  array  of  serving  dishes  of  vege- 
tables and  one  immense  bowl  of  mashed 
potatoes  piled  high  in  snowy  peaks. 

The  Cranberry  Sauce — always  the  un- 
strained kind — was  a  great  favorite  of 
Rudy's,  while  brother  Bill  declared  himself 
an  enthusiast  over  the  Cider  Jelly.  Be- 
sides these  there  were  smaller  dishes  of 
celery  and  of  olives,  of  salted  almonds, 
candy  and  the  like.  Bread  boats  overflowed 
with  thick  slices  of  fresh  homemade  bread 
and  w  ere  flanked  by  plates  bearing  mounds 
of  freshly  churned  butter.  The  table,  Rudy 
assured  me,  seemed  fairly  to  groan  under 
the  accumulated  weight  of  this  array  of 
foods,  but  bore  up  nobly  under  the  task  be- 
fore it,  as  did  the  partakers  of  the  feast. 

And  now  we  come  to  the  dessert  course 
at  last — that  part  of  the  meal  for  which 
young  and  old  always  save  a  little  room, 
and,  because  of  which,  the  wiser  ones  re- 
frain from  any  third  helpings  of  turkey! 
If  you'll  glance  at  the  menu  you  will  see 
that  for  the  Yallee  Thanksgiving  Dinner 
two  kinds  of  pie  are  called  for.  Naturally 
that  would  be  the  case  for  we  are  speaking 
of  New  England  where  pies  reign  supreme. 
With  the  pie,  coffee  was  served  to  the 
grown-ups  while  the  children  were  given 
their  choice  of  milk  or  sweet  cider. 


After  dinner  the  Yallee  family  betook 
themselves  to  the  library  where  the  older 
folks  talked  and  the  young  folks  danced 
and  played  games.  The  party  did  not 
break  up  until  late  and  before  folks  left  to 
go  their  various  ways  there  was  more  food, 
apples,  cider  and  popcorn  being  featured. 

So  there,  my  friends,  is  a  description  of 
Thanksgiving  Day  in  the  Vallee  home  in 
Maine  and  I  am  pleased  to  say  that  I  have, 
for  you,  recipes  for  several  of  the  dishes  of 
outstanding  interest  on  the  Vallee  menu. 
But,  before  giving  you  one  of  these  recipes 
and  telling  you  how  easy  it  will  be  to  secure 
others,  there  are  numerous  important  points 
in  connection  with  this  Thanksgiving  din- 
ner I  should  like  to  take  up  with  you  here. 

In  the  first  place  you  have  doubtless 
noted  and  been  surprised  at,  the  complete 
omission  of  a  first  course.  When  I  ex- 
pressed my  conviction  to  Bill  that  this  omis- 
sion was  unintentional  he  replied,  "Who 
wants  to  have  anything  before  turkey?" 

^^ELL,  Bill,  I  do  for  one.  And  count- 
less others  I  know  would  prefer  some- 
thing light  with  which  to  start  the  meal— 
an  introduction  to  the  feast,  so  to  speak. 
For  this  course  I  suggest  that  you  serve 
a  clear  soup  such  as  bouillon  or  consomme 
which  will  stimulate  the  gastric  juices  for 
the  almost  overpowering   task  ahead  of 
them.   You  will  notice  that  the  salad  course 
also  is  omitted.    With  this  I  am  in  com- 
plete agreement,  since  I  feel  that  everyone 
is  too  full  at  this  point  to  do  justice  to  a  | 
salad.    Besides,  too  many  green  vegetables  < 
are  included  to  make  a  salad  necessary-  < 
And  after  all  there  is  always  dessert,  for  I 
which  we  must  preserve  the  few  remaining 
vestiges  of  our  appetite. 

Let  us  now  take  up  this  important  ques-  j 
tion  of  dessert.    There  are  several  reasons  i 
for  including  two  kinds  of  pie,  Mince  and  1 
Pumpkin,   on   your   menu.     In   the   first  J 
place  they  both  are  grand  examples  of 
culinary  art  if  correctly  made.    Then,  too.  | 
whereas  a  small  slice  of  Pumpkin  Pie  will  ] 
not  harm  any  but  the  very  tiniest  tots,  Mince  \ 
Pie  is  far  and  away  too  heavy  for  young- 
sters.   Even  the  kids  in  their  teens  wil'  ( 
have  to  clamor  insistently  for  their  share 
of  the  Mince  Pie  because  it  is  always  s( 
popular  that  the  grown-ups  are  likely  tc 
insist  upon  prior  rights. 

A  true  Thanksgiving  Mince  Pie  shoulc 
be  i7ichcs  thick,  with  a  thin  flaky  crus' 
its  edges  having  a  slight  crinkle  made  by 
the  tines  of  a  fork,  its  juices  threatening  ti 
break  through  at  any  moment.  On  the  toj 
of  the  pie  a  large  letter  M,  made  with  shoi 
jabs  with  a  sharp  knife,  serves  the  doubl' 
duty  of  proudly  proclaiming  its  name  an( 
of  allowing  the  steam  to  escape  during  th 
baking.  This  being  our  first  Repea 
Thanksgiving  there  may  be  many  of  yoi 
who  will  wish  to  include  a  little  "spirit 
in  your  Mince  Pie.  Most  of  you,  I  imagine 
will  purchase  your  Mince  Meat  ready  pre 
pared  instead  of  going  to  the  bother  c 
making  it.  After  emptying  this  flavorsom 
Mince  Meat  into  a  bowl,  add  a  little  brand 
or  other  liquor  in  sufficient  quantity  t 
flavor  to  your  taste.  By  that  I  mean  thai 
you'll  really  have  to  taste  it.    I  hesitate  t

ive  you  more  definite  directions  because, 
.  hen  adding  a  "stick"  to  Mince  Meat,  pref- 
rences  vary  greatly  as  to  quantity. 

Delicious  though  Mince  Pie  may  be, 
'unipkin  Pie  is  not  one  jot  less  of  a 
'hanksgiving  institution.  This  pie — a  gol- 
en  brown  treat — merits  its  place  on  any 
lenu  and  more  than  justifies  the  lyric  de- 
ception given  it  by  a  Quaker  poet  of  an- 
ther day  : 

What  moistens  the  lips  and  what  bright- 
ens the  eye 

Vhat  calls  back  the  past  like  rich  Pumpkin 
Pie!" 

2MALL  slices  of  American  Cheese  are 
*  the  time  honored  accompaniment  of 
'umpkin  Pie.  as  you  know.  But  had  it 
ver  occured  to  you  that  a  cheese  crust 
.ould  be  equally  fitting  and  much  more 
ovel?  I  have  tested  out  this  suggestion 
nth  complete  success,  in  fact  so  enthus- 
istic  am  I,  that  I  have  included  the  recipe 
>r  this  Cheese  Crust  in  this  month's  Radio 
Stars  Cooking  School  folder,  together  with 
ecipes  for  traditional  Thanksgiving  foods 
uggested  by  Rudy  Vallee.  Naturally  I 
wouldn't  think  of  giving  you  a  recipe  for 

crust  for  Pumpkin  Pie  without  giving 
ou  the  ingredients  for  the  pumpkin  filling 
:self,  a  recipe  that  can  be  followed  easily, 
ihether  you  use  fresh  or  canned  pumpkin. 
\nother  recipe  in  the  folder  is  one  for 
he  Scalloped  Onions  which  played  an  im- 
tortant  part  in  the  vegetable  squad  of  the 
.'allee  menu.  Still  another  is  for  Chest- 
ut  stuffing  as  Rudy  Vallee  likes  it — light, 
luffy,  tasty,  and  delightfully  seasoned. 

You  will  want  to  have  these  recipes  in 
our  files,  I  am  sure,  because  they  will 
nable  you  to  serve  many  dishes  like  those 
\udy  remembers  having  had  in  his  own 
lome  in  Maine.  Therefore  you  will  be 
;lad  to  know  that  by  just  filling  out  the 
oupon  and  mailing  it  to  me  without  delay 
ou  will  get  these  recipes  absolutely  free! 
\nd  let  me  assure  you,  that  not  only  will 
■ou  enjoy  serving  these  foods  on  Thanks- 
riving,  but  you  will  find  them  equally  good 
o  serve  at  Christmas  and  on  many  other 
cstive  occasions.  Therefore  take  the  nec- 
'ssary  steps  to  add  these  recipes  to  your 
ollection  so  that,  (in  the  words  of  one  of 
he  Pilgrims  when  speaking  of  the  first 
Thanksgiving) — "you  may  after  a  more 
pecial  manner  rejoyce." 

This  is  the  Radio  Stars  Cooking  School 
igning  off  with  the  cordial  wish  that  you 
ind  yours  will  gather  from  far  and  near 
o  celebrate  this  day  of  Thanksgiving  under 
he  paternal  roof,  putting  aside  your  unre- 
axing  application  to  work  in  order  to  con- 
entrate  on  home  ties  and  home  provender. 

This  is  Xancy  Wood  speaking — good 
ifternoon,  everybody.

"Far  more  delicious  spagheit 
than  I  could  cook  at  home 


—and  it  actually  costs  less,  too!" 


i 


USED  to  get  many  a  compliment  on 
the  way  I  prepared  spaghetti.  But 
I  realize  now  that  mine  couldn't  hold 
a  candle  to  Franco- American.  Good 
as  my  sauce  was,  theirs  is  a 
whole  lot  better.  And  it  ac- 
tually cost  me  more  to  buy 
the  dry  spaghetti  and  other 
ingredients  and  prepare  it  at 
home  than  it  does  to  get  a 
can  of  Franco- American  all 
ready-cooked." 

How  much  easier,  too!  NJo 
cooking   or   fussing  with 


Franco- American.  You  simply  heat  and 
serve.  Skilled  chefs  have  done  all  the 
work,  concocted  a  matchless  sauce  con- 
taining eleven  different  ingredients  . . . 

garden-fresh,  perfect  tomatoes 
. .  .  zestful  Cheddar  cheese . . . 
subtly  blended  seasonings. 

Mere  words  can't  tell  you 
how  good  it  is.  You  must 
taste  it  yourself.  Why  not  try 
it  today?  Generous  can  hold- 
ing three  to  four  portions  is 
never  more  than  ten 
cents  at  any  grocer's.  QS

dollars  a  year  for  the  entire  cost  of  having 
a  radio-  in  the  home,  which  is  consider- 
ably better  than  I've  ever  been  able  to  do 
in  America.  No  new  radio,  no  new  tubes, 
no  replacement  of  "cone,"  whatever  that 
is,  no  unwilling  and  suspicious  acceptance 
of  a  mechanic's  word  for  the  necessity  of 
new  parts  and  service,  these  are  the  things 
in  the  English  system  that  eliminate 
headaches.  And  when  an  English  com- 
pany promises  service,  it  means  exactly 
what  it  says,  which  is  an  embarrassing 
discovery  for  an  American  who  starts  with 
an  American  attitude  of  self-defense,  an 
American  expectation  of  being  gyped. 

pADIOS  are  shockingly  expensive  to 
purchase  in  England.  And  they  are 
also  shocking  in  design  to  American  eyes. 
Here  they  apparently  regard  the  wireless 
as  a  legitimate  child  of  modern  times,  not 
stigmatized  with  the  bar  sinister  of  Grand 
Rapids  "period"  design,  if  you  get  what 
I  mean.  Anyway,  the  sets  are  neat  little 
cabinets  that  look  like  what  they  are, 
something  modern  and  something  practi- 
cal, which  is  a  great  relief  and  the  first 
step  in  making  a  radio  Anglophile  out  of 
me. 

The  next  step  in  that  process  of  Anglo- 
philization  is  due  to  the  laughs  I  get  out 
of  listening-in.  Don't  get  me  wrong.  I 
don't  mean  the  humor  in  the  "variety" 
programs.  I  haven't  got  a  laugh  out  of 
them  yet.  If  I  could  understand  the  lan- 
guage, I  might  understand  the  jokes.  But 
it  will  take  some  time,  and  the  results  are 
extremely  dubious. 

No,  1  get  my  laughs  out  of  the  things 
they  don't  intend  to  be  funny.  Just  as  an 
Englishman  in  America  would  get  his 
radio  laughs  not  from  Ed  Wynn  and 
Eddie  Cantor  but  from  such  theme  songs 
as  "All  the  dirt,  all  the  grit — Hoover  gets 
it,  every  bit !" 

Take  cricket,  for  instance.  (You  may 
have  it,  I  do  not  want  it.)  I've  just  been 
listening  to  the  crucial  moments  of  one  of 
the  most  important  test  matches  between 
England  and  Australia.  To  see  why  I 
laugh  you  have  to  realize  that  these 
matches  are  not  only  the  focal  point  of 
English  living  for  the  whole  population 
all  the  time  they  are  going  on,  but  they 
can  even  cause  a  political  crisis.    And  do. 

The  new  "leg  theory"  introduced  by  one 
of  the  English  players  has  almost  severed 
diplomatic  relations  between  England  and 
Australia.  I  doubt  very  much  if  they 
worked  up  more  national  feeling  during 
the  war.  It  is  a  headline  in  all  the  papers, 
every  corner  newsboy  holds  posters 
screaming  out  the  latest  word  on  it,  half 
an  hour  of  the  newsreel  in  ever}-  cinema 
is  devoted  to  shots  of  it. 

JUST  a  minute  till  I  tell  you  what  the 
"leg  theory"  is.  You  see,  in  cricket, 
if  a  bowler  (pitcher)  hits  the  batter's 
leg  he  puts  the  batter  out.  Now  comes  an 
English  bowler  who  gets  the  idea  that  if 
he  aims  at  the  batter's  leg  he  gets  him  out 
quicker.  That  is  heresy.  That  is  almost 
treason.  '  For  centuries  the  British  have 
been  aiming  at  the  ivicket  behind  the  bat- 


ter's leg  and  if,  by  the  grace  of  God  ai 
good  sportsmanship,  the  leg  should  inte 
vene  they  think  it's  very  nice.  The  \<  f 
theory  just  isn't  cricket,  so  the  Australia 
want  to  go  home,  they  don't  want  to  pi; 
any  more.  Why,  it's  almost  America 
as  though  one  played  a  game  to  win.  Ho 
rible  thought. 

But  it  is  not  as  horrible  a  thought 
it  might  be  to  a  great  many  English  hear  ' 
which   beat    for  cricket.     They  have 
sneaking,  shameful  wish  to  see  the  hor  ' 
team  win.    So  they  defend  the  leg  theor  I 
The  result  is  bloody  noses  in  the  best  clujl 
as  well  as  in  our  pub  on  the  corner.  Aifl 
politically  the  two  islands  foam  at  t'  1 
harbor. 

With  all  this,  here  is  what  comes  ov 
the  radio  in  the  most  crucial  moments  | 
this  cricket  game,  this  game  on  which  ti 
fate  of  nations  hangs.  "Whatever  we  m; 
say  about  it,"  the  announcer  says  hel 
fully,  "this  test  match  is  keeping  us  il 
terested.  Now,"  he  goes  on,  "the  Engli 
team  is  fighting  grimly  to  save  the  situ 
tion.  Before  tea."  he  explains,  "there  w 
proper  hostility." 

I  swear  to  you,  that's  as  hot  as  it  get 
But  that's  England,  after  all,  as  well 
the  British  Broadcasting  Company.  F'i 
no  matter  if  every  heart  in  England 
beating   for  the  outcome  of  the  crick' 
that  day.  the  teams  throw  down  their  bal1 
and  bats  at  the  stroke  of  tea  time  ai 
have  a  nice,  leisurely,  comfy  tea.  Nothit 
in  sport  or  commerce  is  important  enou^ 
to  make  any  Englishman,  be  he  clerk 
cricket  player,  forget  his  tea.  And  nothit 
in  sport  is  exciting  enough  to  make 
English  radio  announcer  forget  to  cro 
every  "t"  and  dot  every  "i"  and  obser 
all  the  rules  of  grammar,  pronunciatic 
and  syntax.     Nor  forget  his  manners- 
we  can  be  sure  that  if  an  Australk 
player  has  a  single  merit  we'll  hear  abo 
it  in  the  most  generous,  gracious,  bea 
fully  turned  sentences. 

I  laugh,  yes.    But  do  you  think  I  lor: 
for  Graham  McNamee?    Well.  .  . 

K|  OW  the  cricket  game  is  over,  at  lea 
to  the  radio  audience.  The  sport  v 
ports  last  just  a  few  minutes  three  or  foi 
times  during  the  course  of  the  match 

"The  next  part  of  the  program  follow 
at  once."  says  the  announcer. 

We  wait. 

And  wait. 

And  keep  on  waiting. 

By  and  by  it  comes.  Nobody  minds  tl 
delay.  I  was  amazed  at  first,  so  I  askf 
around.  I  asked  them  up  at  the  "Broat 
casting  House."  I  asked  all  the  heads  c 
the  different  branches  of  broadcasting. 

The  answers  all  came  to  the  same  thin: 
The  first — not  put  quite  like  this — is  th: 
when  the  program  does  come,  it  is  wort 
waiting  for,  which  differentiates  it  fro: 
certain  programs  they  could  mention,  bi 
don't.  We'll  let  that  one  pass.  Anoth< 
answer  is  that  they  have  consciously  ar 
intentionally  conditioned  their  publ 
against  an  impatient  attitude  toward  tl 
radio.  They've  taught  them  that  the 
can't  expect  to  get  anything  really  wort

getting  just  by  turning  a  dial  and  waiting 
for  something  to  reach  right  out  and 
snatch  their  attention  and  hold  it  at  no 
matter  what  point  they  tune  in.  They  say 
they  have  educated  their  public  to  a  care- 
ful, thoughtful,  attentive  approach  to  the 
radio,  made  them  realize  that  they  must 
expect  to  give  time  and  even  prolonged 
concentration  to  programs  in  order  to  get 
the  most  out  of  them.  And  that  in  return 
they'll  get  something  better  than  anything 
that  could  be  swallowed  in  hasty,  careless 
doses. 

Once  conditioned  to  that  idea,  they  say, 
the  people  are  not  likely  to  be  impatient 
at  a  few  minutes'  delay.  That's  the  rea- 
son they  give  you  why  the  BBC  doesn't 
suffer  the  acute,  refined  torture  that  we  do 
>ver  the  exact  timing  of  programs.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  the  delays  are  usually  at 
the  most  a  matter  of  a  very  few  minutes. 
It  just  seems  long  to  American  ears. 
And  a  few  minutes  more  or  less  don't 
matter  so  greatly  in  the  life  of  an  English 
person.  The  English  don't  make  a  fetish 
.if  shaving  split  seconds  off  their  personal 
.routine. 

THEIR  attitude  to  time  is  much  like 
like  that  of  the  English  guest  of  an  up- 
town New  Yorker  who  was  being  taken 
by  subway  to  his  host's  office.  The  be- 
wildered Britisher  followed  his  guide  back 
and  forth  in  frenzied  leaps  across  the 
teeming  platform,  from  local  train  to 
jammed  express,  from  express  to  local 
igain.  As  they  emerged  he  asked,  "1  say, 

Kvhy  the  dash  in  and  out  of  trains?"  The 
American  answered,  "Why,  we  saved  two 
minutes  on  the  trip  that  way."  The  En- 
jlishman  considered.     "What,"  he  asked 

nuietly,  "are  you  going  to  do  with  the  two 
ninutes?"  1  1 

The  English  listener-in  sits  happily  and 
smokes  his  pipe  and  looks  into  his  fire 
md  reflects.    England  is  a  great  little  na- 

ttion  of  ponderers.  One  thought  can  last 
them  a  long  time.  They  don't  feel  that 
the  act  of  the  broadcasting  company  in 
leaving  them  to  a  few  minutes  of  their 
3wn  unadulterated  company  is  necessarily 
in  insult.  Being  English,  they  rather  like 
heir  own  company. 

j   Some  of  the  pauses  are  by  artistic  in- 
Lent.     Val   Gielgud,  the  brilliant  young 
lead  of  the  drama  department  of  BBC, 
hays  that  any  play  good  enough  for  him 
ii  give  his  audience  is  good  enough  to 
pall  for  a  couple  of  minutes  of  reflection 
it  the  end;  that  if  he  builds  a  mood  up  to 
h  climax  he  feels  it  would  be  barbarous 
[  :o  jerk  the  listener  out  of  it  suddenly. 
i|5o  he  purposely  delays  giving  the  signal 
H:o  the  engineers  that  the  play   is  over 
mtil  the  audience  has  had  a  moment  to 
|  [recover  before  the  next  act  on  the  pro- 
gram.   I  thought  of  some  of  our  more 
famous     Rude     Awakenings     and  was 
:lad  that  twelve-minutes-of-symphony-and 
fthree-minutes-of-cigarettes  was  already  a 
>art  of  unhallowed  memory. 
I  But  there  are  other  reasons  why  the 
BBC  can  be  lax  in  its  timing.    And  they 
ire  probably  the  really  significant  ones. 
The  chief  one  is  that  there  is  no  competi- 
km.    Xo  other  broadcasting  company  can 
ure  away  the  tuning  finger.  The  BBC  is 
i  government  fathered  monopoly  of  the 
ther.    And  it  is  not  commercial.  Even 
|hough  I  do  tune  in  to  Paris  or  Stutt- 
gart or   Milan,  the   BBC  doesn't  mind.

They  won't  lose  the  Pepsodent  account. 

These  foreign  stations  of  course  help  to 
make  radio  really  worth  ten  bob  a  year 
to  English  listeners.  I  can't  describe  the 
sensation  of  sitting  in  my  own  armchair 
and  picking  around  among  the  best  music 
in  the  world  from  Munich,  languishing 
waltzes  from  Vienna,  rowdy,  gypsy  tunes 
from  Budapest,  the  naughtiest  songs  and 
jokes  via  the  Poste-Parisien.  Maybe  I 
don't  understand  the  naughty  nuances,  but 
I  catch  the  accent.  And  what  language 
lessons — from  Barcelona,  Copenhagen, 
Riga,  Amsterdam,  Warsaw— not  to  men- 
tion Schenectady  and  good  old  Station 
KDKA. 

I  N  England  there  is  no  objection  if  we 
'  want  to  listen  to  foreign  stations. 
On  the  contrary.  The  BBC  cashes  in  on 
it.  Running  a  remarkable  business  of 
publishing  on  the  side,  including  compila- 
tions of  all  the  BBC  programs  in  book 
form  they  publish  three  magazines:  one 
for  the  time  listings  of  all  programs,  one 
for  the  general  highbrow  interest  based 
on  the  BBC  programs  and  another  called 
World  Radio,  which  helps  anyone  who 
listens  to  foreign  stations  to  know  how  to 
get  them  and  how  to  understand  them 
when  you  do  get  them. 

The  English  feel  pretty  superior  about 
their  broadcasting.  Partly  because  they 
are  English  and  hence  feel  superior'  about 
everything.  Partly  because  they  have  been 
put  on  the  defensive  by  American  criticism 
which  gripes  them  more  than  they'll  ad- 
mit ;  and  partly  because  they  really  do  have 
something  to  be  superior  about. 

There  is  no  question  that  BBC  is  free 
to  hold  its  programs  to  a  definite  higher 
standard,  aesthetically,  ethically,  and — 
God  help  us — educationally.  Not  having 
to  sell  anything  but  their  programs,  they 
can  afford  to  give  people  programs  whose 
appeal  is  not  to  the  lowest  common  de- 
nominator of  public  taste. 

The  program  builders  are  not  faced  with 
the  unhappy  necessity  of  building  an  un- 
balanced radio  menu — a  menu  cloying  be- 
cause it  is  entirely  of  sweets  on  the  theory 
of  each  sponsor  that  sweets  are  the  most 
popular  item  on  the  bill  of  fare.  They 
don't  have  to  play  down  to  the  quickest 
reaction  and  the  laziest  response.  They 
can  even  afford  to  take  time  to  build  up 
a  new  taste  on  the  public  palate.  They 
have  definitely  done  a  real  educational 
job.  They  have  taught  the  people  to  get 
a  kick  out  of  good  plays  put  on  at  full 
length.  Some  of  the  BBC  scientific  dis- 
cussions are  big-time  stuff — not  watered 
down  or  dressed  up  with  chocolate  sauce. 


Art  does  not  have  to  be  colored  with 
sentiment,  and  medical  subjects  do  not 
need  censoring  for  the  benefit  of  patent 
medicine  advertisers. 

Censorship  does  not  seem  quite  the  big 
bad  wolf  it's  painted.  They  have  stiff 
moral  necks,  it's  true.  But  so  have  they 
in  America.  One  unbreakable  rule  is  thai 
marital  infidelity  must  not  even  be  sug- 
gested in  any  terms.  That  rules  out  a 
great  many  scenes  from  plays  I've  heart 
in  America.  On  the  other  hand  I  listene( 
to  one  play  here  in  which  the  heroine  madt 
a  practice  of  posing  in  the  nude,  a  prac- 
tice and  a  broadcast  which  I  think  wouk 
be  frowned  on  in  Dubuque. 

The  English  listener  for  all  his  respect 
feels  very  proprietary  about  his  radio.  Hi 
has  opinions  about  what  it  gives  him  an< 
he  does  not  hesitate  to  let  the  BBC  know 
how  he  feels  about  it.  Not  only  to  thi 
BBC  but  by  letters  in  the  papers,  does  h< 
express  himself  in  no  uncertain  terms.  Be 
cause  of  this  the  BBC  system  of  tellinf 
time  is  apparently  about  to  die  an  earh 
death.  When  you  read  this,  the  announ 
cers  will  probably  not  be  saying  "A  va 
riety  program  will  go  on  at  20:35,"  bu 
just  plain  8:35  p.  m. 

Occasionally  I'm  tempted  to  make  th< 
high,  wide  and  handsome  statement  tha 
the  English  wireless  means  more  to  th< 
listener-in  than  the  American  radio  does 
I  think  of  the  "Time  to  Spare!"  serie 
which  have  shaken  the  National  Govern 
ment  at  its  very  foundations.  It's  just  ; 
simple  little  broadcast  every  week,  it 
which  an  actual  unemployed  man  or  wo 
man  tells  the  cruel  facts  of  their  existeno 
— how  they  use  a  threadbare  army  over 
coat  to  cover  the  cold  bed  on  which  si: 
sleep  in  midwinter,  how  they  put  the  chil 
dren  to  bed  early,  because  otherwise  th 
bread  and  margarine  will  not  last  until  th 
morning.  Very  simple,  very  calm  am 
matter  of  fact.  But  it  has  taught  th 
public  what  it  means  in  about  ten  millio' 
people's  lives  to  live  on  the  dole  with  ai 
allowance  of  fifty  cents  a  week  for  eaci 
child's  expenses.  And  this  thirteen-week; 
series  of  broadcasts  may  overturn  the  set 
up  of  the  government.  That's  what  radi' 
does  in  England. 

Then  I  think  of  how  the  radio  is  use 
in  America.  I  think  of  President  Roose 
velt  holding  the  people  warmly  in  th 
hollow  of  his  hand  by  the  sound  of  hi 
voice  in  all  the  country's  parlors  sayin; 
"My  friends."   (And  I  am  homesick  now. 

I  don't  know.  I  guess  it  all  come 
down  to  this :  Radio  is  Power.  I  wonde 
what  will  happen  when  we  learn  to  us 
it?

towers  over  theirs.  Many  comment  on  it. 

When  you're  that  tall,  you  have  to  be 
careful  of  every  step  you  take,  of  every- 
thing you  do.  So  what  was  John  Barclay 
doing?  At  the  Harrow  School  he  was 
taking  part  in  every  athletic  competition, 
and  especially  in  the  cross-country  races. 
The  doctors  warned  him,  "If  you  don't 
stop,  you'll  get  an  athletic  heart.  You 
ought  to  take  things  easy."    But  did  he 


heed  them  ?  You  can  imagine  how  much 
One  day  a  group  of  boys  decided  b 
race  eight  miles  across  the  country.  "l'i 
race  with  you,"  said  John.  And  race  h 
did,  madly,  his  feet  flying  ahead  of  then  I 
till  the  world  spun  and  his  heart  bea  \ 
like  some  strange  engine! 

The  next  thing  he  knew  he  was  lyinj  I 
in  a  sickbed,  and  the  doctor  was  bendin; 
over  him  and  shaking  his  head  gravel)

lis  mother,  that  Spartan  woman,  was  try- 
ig  to  look  unconcerned.  Faintly  John 
;iuld  make  out  what  the  doctor  was  say- 
lg,  "The  hoy  will  die  unless  you  take 
im  to  Bad  Nauheim."  And  his  mother's 
nswcr,  "We'll  go  around  the  world.  That 
■ill  he  mucli  more  amusing."  And  around 
ne  world  they  went. 

Thus  the  first  great  adventure  of  his  life 
ame  to  John  because  he  took  the  golden 
ands  of  his  life,  scooped  them  up  in  his 
ands,  and  started  to  fling  them  away.  He 
>ok  a  chance  and  flung  caution  to  the 

inds. 

The  boat  they  chose  to  sail  on  was  a 
apanese  ship.  So  dangerous  was  the 
oat  that  Lloyd's  of  London  had  refused 
i  insure  it.  In  this  unsafe  vessel  they 
/ere  caught  in  a  typhoon  in  the  Yellow 
lea.  Running  the  engine  full  blast,  the 
rew  tried  to  anchor.  Instead  the  boat 
eeled  backwards,  narrowly  missing  some 
'ocks  as  it  went  into  the  harbor.  The 
nocking  face  of  death  was  everywhere, 
ut  there  was  no  real  fear  in  the  boy's 
eart.  To  him  death  has  always  seemed 
nly  an  interlude,  so  he  doesn't  give  a 
inker's  damn  about  it. 

At  last  the  boat  ended  its  perilous  jour- 
ey.  John  Barclay  had  faced  death  and 
ad  not  been  afraid. 

^ HORTLY  after,  the  hot  breath  of  death 

and  danger  blew  once  more  upon  the 
,K>y's  cheek  when  he  was  lost  with  several 
riends  in  the  Chinese  city  of  Kiukang  on 
he  Yangtze  River. 

Throngs  of  beggars  and  lepers  closed  in 
>n  them  as  they  walked  in  single  file  along 
he  narrow  streets.  Unbearable  was  the 
tench  of  those  grim,  ragged  beggars  and 
lorrible  lepers,  who  persisted  in  coming 
lp  close  to  them  and  demanding  alms. 

In  the  group  was  a  hot-headed  boy  from 
Dxford.  and  when  the  lepers  touched  him 
vith  their  foul  hands,  there  was  a  mo- 
nent  when  it  seemed  as  if  he  would 
•trike  out  at  them.  John  knew  very  well 
vhat  the  result  of  a  fight  would  be.  The 
>eggars  would  all  join  against  them  and 
olives  be  stuck  into  unprotected  backs. 

It  was  madness  to  stand  there  doing 
lothing.  Madness  not  to  try  to  get  hold 
if  that  hot-headed  boy  and  tell  him  to 
ceep  his  hands  to  himself.  But  John 
imply  stood  there,  grinning  in  the  teeth 
pf  death,  and  Death  came  along,  saw 
low  he  was  taking  things,  said  "Hello. 
>al.  See  you  some  other  time,"  and  then 
lew  away  again.  With  an  effort  the  Ox- 
ord  boy  kept  his  hands  off  the  lepers  and 
he  party  escaped  death. 

Finally  the  world  tour  ended,  and  John 
vent  to  Cambridge.  Here  his  life  might 
lave  flowed  along  in  peaceful  channels. 
iut  England  joined  the  World  War.  And 
;o  did  John. 

He  enlisted  and  was  made  a  commis- 
sioned officer  with  the  London  Territori- 
es, where  he  was  under  the  direct  line 
if  fire.  But  within  a  fortnight  his  weak 
leart  was  discovered  and  he  was  com- 
telled  to  take  a  job  behind  the  lines. 

Even  then  he  just  couldn't  sit  still  and 
lo  nothing,  so  he  originated  the  60th  Di- 
vision Concert  Party,  which  entertained 
he  men  who  were  going  to  the  front.  And 
t  was  here  that  he  decided  that  if  ever 
he  got  a  chance,  he'd  cultivate  his  voice  in 
earnest  and  go  on  the  stage.

Kills  a 

COLD 

"Dead"! 

—  Does  this  Amazing 
4-Way  Treatment! 

DIRECT  and  definite  treatment  is 
what  you  want  for  a  cold.  For,  a  cold 
may  develop  serious  "complications". 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  sup- 
plies the  treatment  needed  because  it  is 
expressly  a  cold  remedy  and  because  it 
is  internal  in  effect. 

What  It  Does 

First,  it  opens  the  bowels.  Second,  it 
combats  the  cold  germs  in  the  system 
and  reduces  the  fever.  Third,  it  relieves 
the  headache  and  grippy  feeling.  Fourth, 
it  tones  the  entire  system  and  fortifies 
against  further  attack. 

That's  the  four-fold  treatment  a  cold  re- 
quires and  anything  less  is  taking  chances. 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  is 
utterly  harmless  and  perfectly  safe  to  take. 
Comes  in  two  sizes — 30c  and  50c.  The 
50c  size  is  by  far  the  more  economical 
to  buy  as  it  gives  you  20%  more  for  your

IOIIN  knew  about  romance,  too,  or 
thought  he  did,  for  he  had  found  love 
early  in  life.  It. was  one  of  those  hectic 
war  marriages,  which  was  destined  to 
end  in  divorce.  When  the  war  was  over, 
he  didn't  know  exactly  what  to  make  of 
his  life.  His  marriage  was  a  hollow  jest, 
and  his  life,  though  it  had  been  filled  with 
adventure,  had  not  exactly  trained  him  for 
making  a  living. 

Once  again,  John  Barclay  turned  his 
back  on  the  road  to  safety.  With  a  small 
family  pittance  he  came  to  the  United 
States  to  begin  the  struggle  for  success 
in  music. 

After  years  of  concert  work,  he  got 
a  chance  in  radio.  But  such  a  slim,  un- 
important chance!  Sustaining  roles.  Hack 
roles  in  radio  dramas,  in  which  he  got 
exactly  nowhere.  Even  when  he  played 
leading  parts  on  the  Collier's  hour,  hardly 
anyone  knew  he  was  alive.  When  he  saw 
radio  wasn't  getting  him  .anywhere  he 
chucked  radio  altogether  and  went  to  St. 
Louis  to  appear  in  Municipal  Opera. 

The  next  step  was  easy.  When  John 
came  back  to  New  York,  he  was  featured 
in  a  Broadway  play,  "Champagne,  Sec," 
and  was  a  glittering,  glamorous  success  in 
it.  It  was  here  that  one  of  the  Benton 
and  Bowles  executives  noticed  him,  and 
when  the  agency  started  looking  around 
for  an  actor  capable  of  playing  leads  for 
their  Palmolive  Beauty  Box  Theatre,  this 
man  thought  of  John  Barclay. 

Romance,  too,  has  again  come  to  John 
Barclay,  as  it  always  comes  to  the  John 


dreamy-eyed  and  blissfully  happy,  nodded 
her  head. 

Two  days  later,  they  stood  in  the  town 
courthouse,  waiting  their  turn  to  be  mar- 
ried. 

"Just  a  minute,  honey,"  Tim  whispered. 
"I  forgot  something.    I'll  be  right  back." 

Irene  waited.  And  waited.  She  was 
growing  panicky.  She  looked  up  at  the 
clock,  clasping  and  unclasping  her  long 
hands.  He  was  gone  an  hour  already !  A 
dreadful  fear  clutched  at  her  heart.  What 
if — what  if  her  mother  was  right.  What 
if  he  had  left  her  then  and  there,  waiting 
at  the  altar?    She  started  to  wail. 

Suddenly  she  heard  a  lot  of  noise.  She 
wheeled  around.  There  was  Tim  rushing 
in,  pulling  her  mother  with  him. 

"Sorry  I'm  late,  honey,"  he  said  excitedly 
to  his  red-eyed  bride-to-be,  "but  it  took 
me  all  this  time  to  get  your  mother  to 
agree  to  our  marriage.  You  see,"  he  added 
boyishly,  "I  wanted  to  marry  you  the  right 
way." 

Funny,  isn't  it?  And  that's  how  they 
have  been  careening  through  life.  Right 
after  their  marriage,  when  there  were  more 
serious  things  to  think  of,  such  as  careers 
and  finances,  they  bumped  their  impulsive 
heads  against  so  many  of  Life's  hard  knocks 
that  they  still  carry  the  bruises. 

Leaving  the  stock  company  they  toured 
in  their  own  vaudeville  act  all  over  the 
country.  They  were  doing  nicely,  thank 
you,  but  were  too  busy  joking  and  playing 
to  see  the  trend  of  the  times.     It  hit 


Barclays  of  the  world,  and  this  time, 
believe,  it  will  be  lasting.  In  the  home  o 
a  friend  in  Philadelphia  he  met  the  worm 
he's  married  to  now,  Madame  Dagma 
Kybner  Barclay,  the  pianist  and  composei 
Distinguished  in  the  musical  world  and  th 
friend  of  such  glamorous  figures  as  Rach 
maninoff,  the  famous  pianist.  She  ha 
taught  music  to  such  silver-throated  radi 
orioles  as  Jane  Pickens  and  Conra 
Thibault. 

Always  John  is  an  incurable  optimis 
For  instance,  he  never  believes  that  i 
is  going  to  rain,  no  matter  how  man 
times  the  Weather  Bureau  assures  him 
is.  Recently  he  planned  a  trip  to  Fir 
Island  when  the  newspapers  said  it  wa 
going  to  rain  the  next  day.  "Oh,  I'i 
sure  there  will  be  just  a  couple  of 
showers,"  he  said  blithely.  And  just  be 
cause  the  gods  favor  such  cuckoos  a 
John,  by  the  great  heavens,  the  day  turne 
out  fair. 

Once  his  mother  told  John  that  she  wa 
going  to  consult  a  brother-in-law  of  hi 
about  some  question  or  other. 

"You'd  never  think  of  consulting  m< 
would  you,  mother?"  he  asked. 

"Of  course  not,"  she  told  him  cheer 
fully.  "You  know  you  have  no  judg 
ment." 

But  good  judgment  or  not,  I  only  wis 
that  someone  could  plant  a  little  of  John' 
recklessness  in  all  our  hearts.  When  th 
reckless'  way  of  doing  things  gets  a  ma 
so  far,  what  price  caution?

They  hopped  on  a  train  for  San  Fran

enough  hope  and  self-confidence  to  conque 
the  world.     They  were  going  to  tackli

•  For  the  first  time  in  history,  a  state 
government  is  sponsoring  a  radio  show. 
It's  New  York  State  paying  for  the  pro- 
gram "Robinson  Crusoe,  Jr.,"  on  a  limited 
CBS  network,  designed  to  increase  the 
:onsumption  of  milk  and  cream.  Peter 
Dixon,  author  of  "Bobby  Benson,'"  is  writ- 
ing the  show. 

•  Mr.  and  Mrs.  David  Freedman  (he 
writes  the  jokes  for  Eddie  Cantor)  expect 
jthe  stork  this  month. 

•  Tenor  Phil  Regan,  who  left  a  good 
-put  in  radio  for  a  bad  break  in  movies, 
may  soon  wed  Josephine  Dwyer  of  Brook- 
lyn says  rumor. 

•  Muriel  Wilson,  Show  Boat's  Mary 
Lou.  hardly  looks  like  her  former  self. 
A  loss  of  weight  and  a  new  way  of  fixing 
her  hair  has  added  much  charm  to  her

Keep  Young  and  Beautiful 


{Continued  from  pane  13) 


problem  in  keeping  your  skin,  for  its  gen- 
era! tendency  is  toward  a  coarse,  rough 
appearance.  Yet,  for  all  of  this,  the  very 
fact  that  your  skin  is  oily  will  prevent  it 
from  becoming  wrinkled  and  so  will  re- 
main young  longest.  And  if  you  will  fol- 
low a  thorough  cleansing  routine  there's 
no  reason  why  your  skin  shouldn't  be  of 
fine  texture.  Use  all  the  cream  you  like 
for  cleansing  plus  lots  of  soap  and  water. 
Contrary  to  the  idea  that  much  cleansing 
causes  a  greater  secretion  of  oil,  it  actually 
stimulates  the  circulation  and  enables  the 
pores  to  throw  off  sebaceous  secretions, 
thus  eliminating  blackheads.  Of  course,  use 
common  sense  and  don't  go  to  bed  with 
cream  on  your  face.  Rather  finish  off 
with  a  good  astringent  to  remove  every 
vestige  of  cream. 

Dry  skin  might  be  the  most  beautiful 
while  it's  young,  but  beware!  It  ages 
fastest  of  all — unless  you  determine  right 
now  to  prevent  it.  And  you  can.  The 
burning  question  is  whether  to  wash  or  not 
to  wash.  If  you  don't  feel  clean  unless 
you  do,  then  by  all  means  wash.  But  use 
cream  and  more  cream  both  before  and 
after.  The  skin  is  pretty  tough  for  all  its 
seeming  fragileness  and  it's  going  to  take 
plenty  of  downright  soaking  in  cream  to 
penetrate  the  top  layer  and  reach  your 
"under  skin."  If  you  use  an  astringent, 
choose  one  that  is  tightening  without  being 
drying,  then  work  a  tissue  or  nourishing 
cream  into  it  and  leave  a  slight  filmy  layer 
on  over  night.  A  powder  base  of  some 
good  cream  or  lotion  is  advisable  before 
applying  your  makeup. 

Today,  with  the  excellent  line  of  cos- 
metics to  fit  everyone's  purse,  there  is  no 
reason  why  we  all  should  not  have  a 
smooth,  healthy  skin.  Certainly  it's  worth 
striving  for,  since  a  lovely  skin  can  cover 
a  multitude  of  defects — irregular  features 
are  not  so  noticeable,  a  figure  not  quite 
a  la  mode  is  overlooked.    Even  Josephine 


famed  for  her  beautiful  skin  is  said  t 
have  had  very  poor  teeth. 

J  L  S  I'  think  of  your  mother's  friends,  wh 
have  retained  passible  figures,  but  whofjl

One  can  always  disguise  the  age  of  ]

grooming.  You  can  depend  on  the  nun 
erous  new  shades  of  nail  polish  to  add  th 
final  touch  of  smartness.  The  color  yc] 
choose  depends  on  your  costume  and  til 
color  of  the  skin  on  your  hands. 

Hands  of  yellowish  tints  require  polish' 
of  the  orange  tones — corals  and  oranj 
reds.  For  fair  and  rosy  skin — pale,  natur;

The  Tragic  Death 
of  Russ  Columbo 

(Continued  from  fage  36) 


at  Russ's  feet.  As  a  singer,  he  was  at  the 
top  of  his  radio  profession,  because  it  is 
not  possible  to  go  higher  than  he  was.  As 
an  artist  he  was  finding  a  new  medium  of 
expression  in  motion  pictures,  crowned  by 
the  ultimate  achievement  of  Hollywood 
'  —stardom.  As  a  man,  I  believe  he  had 
'  found  the  one  real  romance  of  his  life !  Is 
it  cruelty  ...  or  is  it  joy  that  these  great 
arifts  were  never  dulled  for  him?  He  sat 
in  the  midst  of  his  happiness  with  his 
friends,  whose  counsel  and  affection  had 
enriched  his  life,  and  never  knew  the  loss 
of  the  great  joys  life  had  given  him!" 

As  Rush  talked,  my  thoughts,  like  a 
flash-back  in  a  movie,  recalled  that  tall, 
slender,  colorfully-handsome  Italian  boy  I 
met  seven  years  ago  in  the  studio  of  our 
mutual  friend.  Lansing  Brown.  At  that 
time  "Lans",  our  genial,  witty  host  was 
by  far  the  most  prosperous  of  our  little 
stag  trio.  He  had  just  opened  an  exclu- 
sive photographer's  studio  on  Wilshire 
Boulevard  (  the  Fifth  Avenue  of  Los  Ange- 
les) and  at  night,  when  the  day's  work 
was  over,  we  three  would  gather,  some- 
times with  my  wife,  to  play  the  studio 
piano  or  victrola  and  drink  some  of  Lans' 
good  red  wine.  For  hours  we'd  sit  around

Is  it  because  she's  so  beautiful?  Not  always. 
At  least  half  of  these  women  are  not  beau- 
tiful. But  they  do  breathe  romance.  They're 
glamorous.  They  know  the  art  of  being  a 
woman  ...  of  flattering  themselves. 

To  such  a  woman  face  powder  is  very,  very 
important.  The  chances  are  her  skin  is  imper- 
fect. So  she  avoids  all  the  heavy  powders. 
She  must  have  one  of  fairy-like  fineness  that 
spreads  smoothly  and  makes  imperfections  in- 
visible. No  ordinary  powder  does  this.  It  must 
be  MELLO-GLO.  This  is  why: 

First:  MELLO-GLO, the  new  soft-tone  face 
powder,  is  made  by  a  new  method.  It's 
so  fine  in  texture  that  it  spreads  with  un- 
believable smoothness.  It  covers  enlarged 
pores.  It  rr'nimizes  blemishes. 

Second:  MELLO-GLO  preserves  a  lovely, 
natural,  dull  smoothness  through  hours  of 
play  or  work.  Being  so  light  it  does  not 
draw  out  oil  and  perspiration  from  the 
pores  to  soak  and  spoil  itself.  So  MELLO- 
GLO  stays  on  longer  and  allows  you  to 
keep  lovely.  A  coarser  powder  would 
soon  be  ruined  and  shiny  by  oil  and  per- 
spiration. When  you  use  MELLO-GLO 
you  look  exquisite.  You  are  the  type  that 
never  suffers  defeat. 

A  brand  new  creation  in  face  powders.  Look 
for  the  blue-and-gold  box  to  avoid  a  mistake 
when  buying  MELLO-GLO  Soft- tone  face 
powder.  One  of  the  largest  selling  $1.00  face 
powders  in  America.  Special  purse  size  10ff

The  Tragic  Death 
of  Russ  Columbo 

(Continued  from  page  83) 

talking,  recounting  stories,  airing  our  hopes 
and  ambitions  and  discussing  life  in  gen- 
eral. Of  the  entire  group  Russ  was  the 
youngest  and  most  retiring,  had  the  least 
to  say.  We  used  to  tease  him  about  his 
real  name,  Ruggiero  Eugenio  de  Rudolpho 
Columbo,  which  had  been  bestowed  upon 
him  on  January  14,  1908  in  San  Fran- 
cisco, California,  his  birthplace.  He  told 
us  he  got  the  name  "Russ"  because  his 
Frisco  playmates  could  not  pronounce 
Ruggiero. 

DUSS  was  always  the  first  to  go  home. 

Though  he  had  too  much  youthful 
aride  to  tell  us,  the  real  reason  (revealed 
)y  Lansing)  was  that  he  did  not  want 
o  worry  his  mother  by  coming  in  late. 
The  deep  devotion  between  Russ  and  his 
nother  (in  fact,  his  entire  family  includ- 
ng  his  father  and  the  seven  remaining 
irothers  and  sisters  of  a  family  of  twelve) 
s  to  be  spoken  of  with  reverence.  Every 
lime  he  made,  every  dime  he  ever  hoped 
:o  make,  was  for  the  sole  purpose  of  in- 
reasing  the  happiness  of  his  devoted  fam- 
ly.  Long  before  Russ  turned  out  to  be  a 
jreat  success,  he,  the  baby,  was  the  heart 
ind  center  of  his  family  life.  Everything

han  Kriesler's.  Once,  Fanny  Hurst  wrote 
.  novel  about  a  Jewish  family  that  was 
kin  to  the  life  of  this  warm,  Italian  fam-

lour  glory  along  with  Bing  Crosby  and 
'Rudy  Vallee  ...  as  career  was  as  far 
ifrom  his  mind  as  pole  vaulting. 

The  nineteen-year-old  Russ  was  not

,nto  the  new  Roosevelt  Hotel  on  a  grand, 
;ala  opening,  Columbo  and  his  violin  were 
lired.  All  the  movie  stars  of  Hollywood 
vere  gathered  to  welcome  the  new  band

Half  a  Million  People 

have  learned  music  this  easy  way 


You,     too.    Can  Learn  to  Play  Your 
Favorite   Instrument  Without  a 
Teacher 

Fasy  as  A'H'C 


of    this  half 


MANY 
didn  t  know  one  note 


million 
from 

another  —  yet  in  half  the  usual 
time  they  learned  to  play  their  favorite  in- 
strument. Best  of  all,  they  found  learning 
music  amazingly  easy. 

No  monotonous  hours  of  exercise — no  tedious 
scales — no  expensive  teachers.  This  simplified 
method,  perfected  by  the  U.  S.  School  of  Music, 
made  learning  music  as  easy  as  A-B-C! 

From  the  very  start  you  are  playing  real  tunes 
perfectly  by  note.  Every  step,  from  beginning 
to  end,  is  right  before  your  eyes  in  print  and 
picture.  First  you  are  told  how  to  do  a  thing, 
then  a  picture  shows  you  how.  then  you  do  it 
yourself  and  hear  it.  And  almost  before  you 
know  it.  you  are  playing  your  favorite  pieces — 
jazz,  ballads,  classics.  No  private  teacher  could 
make  it  clearer.  The  cost  is  surprisingly  low — 
averaging  only  a  few  cents  a  day — and  the  price 
is  the  same  for  what- 
ever instrument  you 
choose. 

Learn  now  to  play 
your  favorite  instru- 
ment and  surprise  all 
your  friends.  Change 
from  a  wallflower  to

The  Tragic  Death  of  Russ  Columbo 


(Continued  from  page  87) 


.ith  an  acute  case  of  alcoholism  about 
our  hours  before  the  opening.    Moore  was 

I  a  predicament.  He  wanted  a  singer  and 
e  wanted  one  promptly.  His  music  was  on 

broadcast  that  evening !    At  five  o'clock 

II  the  afternoon  he  called  his  gang  to- 
ether  for  a  conference.  "Can  any  of 
ou  guys  sing?''  he  inquired  in  despcra- 
ion.  No  one  volunteered,  that  is,  no  one 
>ut  the  handsome  kid  who  played  the 
iolin — and  he  wasn't  promising  too  much. 
Give  me  a  few  hours  of  rehearsal  with 
he  band,"  he  said,  "and  maybe  I  can  help 
ou  out.  I've  done  a  little  bathroom  sing- 
ing in  my  time!" 

That's  how  casually,  fatalistically,  a  bath- 
oom  singer  became  the  toast  of  Hollywood 
hat  evening.  There  was  a  soft,  smooth 
;olden  quality  about  the  voice  of  the 
oungster  who  had  previously  used  it  only 
in  the  shower.  Besides  that,  he  was  ex- 
raordinarily  handsome.  More  than  one 
tar's  glance  sought  Russ  Columbo's  that 
veiling  in  dancing  past  the  orchestra  dais. 
Russ  looked  like  he  would  be  a  dashing, 
tiery,  tempestuous  fellow  with  the  ladies. 
He  wasn't.  He  was  the  shyest  boy  who 
.ver  dated  a  girl.  When  his  radio  broad- 
;asts  with  Moore  and  his  personal  appear- 
ance began  to  rate  him  mash  notes,  he  suf- 
fered with  embarrassment.  "What  am  I 
supposed  to  do  with  these  crazy  things?" 
he  once  asked  Lansing  and  myself.  "Prof 
says  I  ought  to  answer  them.    It's  good 


business, 
a  fool!" 


But  thev  make  me  feel  like  such 


DUT  they  were  only  a  ripple  to  the  fan 
mail  that  was  eventually  to  flood  his 
career.  For  life,  possibly  shaping  her  own 
scheme,  began  to  move  swiftly  for  Russ 
Columbo. 

His  singing  career  with  Moore  had 
proved  to  be  so  popular  that  his  violin  was 
entirely  abandoned  for  a  megaphone  when 
he  signed  as  the  featured  soloist  with  Gus 
Arnheim  and  his  band  at  the  world-famous 
Cocoanut  Grove.  He  followed  the  sensa- 
tional Bing  Crosby  in  this  spot  and  cre- 
ated his  own  vogue.  You  can  realize  his 
achievement  for  he  succeeded  in  duplicating 
the  enormous  crowds  Bing  had  been  draw- 
ing in.  But  even  with  his  local  success 
well  on  the  up-grade,  Russ  devoted  most 
of  his  time  to  his  family.  Now  and  then, 
he  was  seen  with  one  of  the  young  stars  of 
Hollywood.  More  than  one  columnist 
hinted  that  Sally  Blane,  sister  of  Loretta 
Young,  and  Russ  were  "that  way."  But 
it  is  doubted  in  spite  of  later  developments 
if  Sally  and  Russ  were  ever  anything  but 
devoted  friends. 

Fate  gathered  momentum.  Russ  went 
to  New  York  and  Hollywood  heard  glow- 
ing tales  of  his  success  with  his  own  or- 
chestra. His  radio  theme  song,  which  he 
composed :  "You  Call  It  Madness  But  I

AN  affliction  so  painful  it  almost  drives  you  mad, 
.  yet  one  so  delicate  you  can  scarcely  bring  your- 
self to  talk  to  your  doctor  about  it ! 
That's  Piles  ! 

Bad  as  it  is,  pain  is  not  the  worst  thing  about 
Piles  !  They  can  take  a  malignant  turn  and  become 
something  very  serious. 

Whether  Piles  be  internal  or  external,  painful  or 
itching,  real  relief  is  to  be  had  today  in  Pazo  Oint- 
ment. Pazo  almost  instantly  stops  the  pain  and 
itching  and  checks  any  bleeding.  But  more  impor- 
tant, Pazo  tends  to  correct  the  condition  of  Piles 
as  a  whole.  This  is  because  Pazo  is  threefold  in 
effect. 

First,  it  is  soothing,  which  relieves  the  soreness 
and  inflammation.  Second,  it  is  healing,  which 
repairs  the  torn  and  damaged  tissues.  Third,  it  is 
absorbing,  which  dries  up  any  mucous  matter  and 
tends  to  shrink  the  swollen  blood  vessels  which  are 
Piles. 

Pazo  comes  in  two  forms  —  in  tubes  and  tins. 
The  tubes  have  a  special  Pile  Pipe  for  insertion  in 
the  rectum.  All  drug  stores  sell  Pazo  at  small  cost. 
Mail  coupon  for  free  trial  tube.

The  Tragic  Death  of  Russ  Columbo 


(Continued  from  page  89) 


all  It  Love"  became  as  well  known  as 
roshy's  "I  Surrender,  Dear"  or  Vallee's 
My  Time  Is  Your  Time."    America  had 
one  "Crooner"  mad  and  those  three  ex- 
tents of  peculiar  vocal  gymnastics  were 
uad  and  shoulders  above  all  contempo- 
iries.  They  even  coined  a  song  about 
lem,  "Crosby,  Columbo  and  Vallee." 
While  Russ  was  in  Xew  York,  gossip 
ijumns  were  filled  with  items  about  him. 
hat  he  was  engaged  to  Hannah  Williams, 
Mer  Mrs.  Jack  Dempsey.    The  Colum- 
»  song,  "Now  I  Know  It's  Love"  was 
'lid'  to  have  been  dedicated  to  the  late 
porothy  Dell  and  on  one  occasion,  the 
klumnists  became  very  excited  by  two 
lopular  Columbo  legends:  that  there  was 
I  real  feud  between  Russ  and  Bing  Crosby, 
ind  the  other  that  he  had  sent  Greta  Garbo 
200  worth  of  orchids. 

HE  himself,  told  me  the  truth  about  both 
of  those  stories,  the  day  I  met  him 
It  the  christening  of  Bing  Crosby's  first 
Ittle  son.  He  was  amused  at  the  rivalry 
.md  tale.  "I  wouldn't  likely  be  attending 
iiiis  christening  if  Bing  and  I  were  on  the 
•uts"  he  explained.  "As  for  that  Garbo 
■tory,  I  guess  I'll  have  to  admit  the  laugh 
s  on  me.  I  didn't  know  until  later  that 
i  couple  of  my  friends  had  cooked  up  the 
itory  that  Garbo  listened  in  on  my  broad- 
asts  every  night.  She  was  staying  at 
he  hotel  where  I  was  playing,  you  know, 
ind  of  course  I  was  flattered  when  a 
lolumnist  printed  the  story  that  I  was  her 
avorite  singer.  I  thought  it  nice  to  say 
thank  you  with  flowers.'  And  that's  what 
I  did.   Of  course,  it  was  just  a  rib." 

That  day  Russ  was  receiving  many  con- 
rratulations  on  a  movie  contract  he  had 
ust  signed  to  appear  in  Walter  Winchell's 
Broadway  Through  a  Keyhole."  He 
vas  terribly  excited  about  his  picture  work 
md  wanted  very  much  to  succeed  in  it.  He 
■truck  me  as  being  about  the  happiest  per- 
on  I  had  ever  seen.  "Why  not?"  he  said, 
Everything's  breaking  for  me."  He  was 
vith  Sally  Blane,  and  a  newspaper  writer 
ame  up  and  wanted  to  know  if  there  was 
-omance  afoot.  Russ  made  a  peculiar  ob- 
servation :  "I  guess  I  should  have  been 
»  poker  player.  I  must  be  lucky  at  cards, 
I'm  so  unlucky  in  love." 

He  scored  an  outstanding  hit  in  "Broad- 
•vay  Through  a  Keyhole"  and  before  the 
picture  had  been  generally  released  Carl 
Laemmle,  Junior,  signed  him  on  a  starring 
contract  for  three  pictures  yearly  at  Uni- 
versal !  The  first  tiling  he  did  was  to  buy 
a  beautiful  home  in  "Outpost  Estates" 
where  he  immediately  settled  himself  and 
his  seventy-eight-year-old  father  and 
seventy -year-old  mother  (now  so  ill  that, 
she  does  not  yet  know,  as  this  is  being 
written,  that  the  boy  who  was  her  very 
heart  is  dead). 

pASTER  and  faster,  life  crowded  Russ 
until  the  night  he  met  beautiful  Carole 
Lombard  at  a  party  given  by  Arline  Judge 


and  Wesley  Ruggles. 

There  is  no  doubt  in  anyone's  mind  that 
Carole,  the  beautiful  movie  star  who  had 
just  received  her  divorce  from  William 
Powell,  was  the  crowning  love  story  of 
Russ'  life.  He  worshipped  the  ground  she 
walked  on — and  made  no  secret  of  it.  He 
was  constantly  in  her  company.  He  con- 
fided to  someone  very  close  to  him :  "I  am 
so  happy  I  have  made  a  financial  success, 
because  of  the  happiness  it  can  bring  my 
family.  But  I  didn't  begin  to  live  until  I 
met  Carole !" 

It  is  believed  that  so  deep  was  her  in- 
fluence on  Russ  that  she  was  almost  the 
manager  of  his  professional  affairs.  She 
accompanied  him  to  every  broadcast  he 
made.  Sitting  in  the  monitor  room  she 
would  give  signals  that  would  actually  con- 
trol his  tonal  expressions.  It  was  Carole 
who  advised,  and  coached  him  in  his  pic- 
ture work  and  she  was  largely  responsible 
for  several  story  changes  made  in  his  first 
starring  film.  She  inspired  in  him  a  de- 
votion no  other  woman,  except  his  mother, 
had  ever  aroused.  When  she  heard  of  his 
death,  she  collapsed.  They  say  that  as  soon 
as  contracts  will  allow  Carole  Lombard 
is  leaving  Hollywood  for  a  long  vacation 
tour,  during  which  she  will  struggle  to 
forget  the  tragic  memories  of  Russ'  death. 

As  you  know  the  courts  held  the  official 
gesture  of  an  inquest.  The  verdict :  "This 
jury  finds  that  Russ  Columbo  came  to  his 
death  by  a  gun  wound  accidentally  inflicted 
by  Lansing  Brown.  Brown  is  absolved  of 
all  blame.  .  .  ." 

Funeral  services  were  held  in  the  Cath- 
olic Church  on  Sunset  Boulevard  in  the 
Hollywood  he  loved.  It  was  necessary  for 
the  makeup  man  of  the  Universal  Studio 
to  use  grease  paint  to  cover  the  ugly  scar 
over  the  dead  Russ'  eye.  There  was  no 
crude,  ugly  demonstration  (as  there  usually 
is  at  a  celebrity's  funeral)  from  the  crowd 
of  3000  persons  who  stood,  heads  bowed, 
as  Bing  Crosby,  Gilbert  Roland,  Walter 
Lang,  Stuart  Peters,  Lowell  Sherman  and 
Sheldon  Keate  Callaway  bore  his  body 
under  the  blanket  of  gardenias,  Carole  had 
sent,  to  the  candle-lit  altar. 

Inside  the  church  there  were  many  torn 
and  bleeding  hearts  of  those  who  were  near 
and  dear  to  him.  They  sat  together,  the 
brothers  and  the  sister,  who  as  he  was 
carried  into  the  church,  had  hysterically 
screamed  that  "no  one  will  ever  know 
how  much  we  loved  him."  But  far  back 
in  the  last  row,  unnoticed,  alone,  kneeled 
a  man  whose  heart  was  wracked  with  bitter 
questioning  that  no  prayer  could  solace, 
a  man  who  will  live  with  the  tragedy  in 
his  heart  forever  .  .  .  because  he  is  that 
kind  of  a  friend  .  .  .  Lansing  Brown. 

And  somehow  I  can't  help  but  believe 
that  if  it  had  been  given  to  Russ  Columbo 
to  speak  but  one  comforting  thought  to 
anyone  of  those  whom  he  so  deeply  loved, 
that  that  thought  would  go  straight  into 
the  heart  of  Lansing,  "My  friend — always!"

Do  You  Hate  Your  Job? 


(Continued  from  page  57) 


enough  money  by  free-lance  writing  to 
support  his  wife  and  daughter.  Then  for 
the  first  time  the  idea  occurred  to  him 
that  he  could  turn  the  hobby  he  loved, 
his  interest  in  dogs,  into  a  paying  propo- 
sition by  writing  stories  about  them.  But 
when  he  told  editors  about  this  original 
idea,  they  howled. 

"Who  gives  a  damn  about  dog  stories?" 
they  wanted  to  know.  "The  public  de- 
mands tales  of  love  and  romance,  of 
young  things  kissing  and  cooing  and 
quarreling.  You  give  us  love  stories.  For- 
get your  poodles  and  collies." 

What  could  Terhune  do?  He  had  to 
give  editors  what  they  wanted,  so  he 
turned  out  stories  dripping  with  saccharin 
sweetness  and  young  love.  At  the  same 
time  he  began  raising  his  own  dogs  at 
Sunnybank  Farm  and  selling  his  surplus 
litters. 

Then  unexpectedly,  after  ten  years  of 
pleading  with  editors,  his  chance  to  write 
about  dogs  arrived.  He  had  been  writing 
love  stories  for  Ray  Long,  then  editor  of 
Red  Book.  When  Long  came  east  on 
business  trips,  he  would  run  out  to  the 
country  to  talk  over  story  plots  with  Ter- 
hune and  to  loaf  with  him  in  the  woods. 

Now  at  Sunnybank  there  was  one  dog. 
Lad,  who  had  always  stood  aloof  from 
everyone  except  Terhune  and  his  wife. 
But  that  day  to  everyone's  amazement, 
Lad  walked  up  to  Ray  Long  and  laid  his 
head  on  Long's  knee.  From  that  mo- 
ment, Lad  and  Ray  Long  became  the  best 
of  pals  and  Long  was  inordinately  proud 
of  his  conquest.  So  much  so  that  he  said 
to  Terhune,  "Albert,  I  wish  you'd  write 
me  a  story  about  Laddie." 

"You're  crazy,"  said  Terhune.  "If  I 
wrote  the  story,  you  wouldn't  print  it. 
No  editor  would  print  it  and  no  one  wants 
to  read  dog  stories  anyway." 

"You  write  it,"  promised  Ray  Long, 
"and  I'll  print  it." 


CO  Terhune  wrote  a  simple  dog  stor 
^  called,  "His  Mate,"  which  told  of  Lad' 
clash  with  a  guest  collie.  It  was  printe 
in  the  January,  1915,  issue  of  Red  Boo 
and  within  a  few  months  after  it  appearet 
every  editor  in  the  country  was  clamoi 
ing  for  a  Terhune  dog  story.  Up  to  thi 
time  Albert  Payson  Terhune  hadn't  bee 
able  to  sell  one  of  them ;  now  editor 
wouldn't  let  him  write  anything  else. 

Three  years  ago  a  bright  studio  execi 
tive  remembered  Terhune's  stories.  An 
Terhune  landed  on  the  air,  discussin 
canine  characteristics  and  peculiaritie: 
Out  of  this  series  grew  the  Spratt  drs 
matic  sketches  in  which  Terhune  tells  u 
some  of  the  most  astonishing  things  aboi 
dogs  we've  ever  heard. 

For  instance,  they  say  that  women  hav 
a  remarkable  sense  of  intuition.  Wei 
here's  a  story  that  makes  a  woman' 
intuition  look  like  a  joke. 

"Dogs  in  a  closed  room,"  Albert  Payso 
Terhune  told  me,  "can't  smell  or  hea 
or  see  what  is  happening  outdoors  a  mil 
away.  Yet  they  can  sense  danger  or  deat 
miles  off.  At  Sunnybank  once  I  wa 
awakened  in  the  middle  of  the  night  by 
series  of  low,  piercing  wails,  almost  he 
man  in  their  intensity.  I  looked  aroun 
to  see  what  the  trouble  was,  and  wh 
our  house  dogs,  lying  at  my  feet,  shoul 
set  up  so  awful  a  commotion.  Apparentl 
there  was  nothing  wrong.  Then  I  realize 
that  those  weird  wails  were  the  grir 
foreboders  of  death  I  had  heard  abou 
the  dogs'  death  wail.  The  next  mornin 
authorities  found  the  body  of  a  girl,  cla 
only  in  her  nightgown,  frozen  into  th 
lake  at  Pompton. 

"But  how  did  the  dogs  know  that 
girl  was  in  danger  when  they  were  a  mil 
away  from  the  scene  of  the  tragedy?  Ho^ 
did  they,  in  an  enclosed  room,  realize  thi 
the  girl  had  died?  There's  no  ration.' 
explanation  for  that,  is  there?"

eve.  Well,  his  memory  is  short  indeed 
comparison  with  a  clog's.  A  dog  can 
irbor  no  grudge  against  his  master,  but 
t  a  stranger  offend  him,  and  he'd  better 
ware  to  his  dying  day. 
Back  in  1928  Albert  Payson  Terhune 
as  taking  his  nightly  six-mile  hike 
irOugh  the  fields  at  Pompton  when  he 
as  struck  by  an  automobile  going  fifty 
liles  an  hour.  "Since  I  was  walking 
t  the  rate  of  four  miles  an  hour,"  he 
>ld  me  dryly,  "you  can  imagine  what  I 
ioked  like — bits  of  an  independent  repub- 
c,  I  resembled  a  hamburger  steak  more 
lan  anything  else  and  the  doctors  were 
iraid  I  wouldn't  pull  through. 
"Throughout  my  illness  my  dog,  Gray 
lawn,  lay  near  my  bed,  his  large  sympa- 
lietic  eyes  following  my  every  move. 
Vhen  the  doctor  came  to  set  my  right  leg, 
e  had  to  twist  it  and  I  grunted  in 
nguish.  Quick  as  a  flash,  Gray  Dawn 
.as  up  and  at  him.  The  doctor  was 
■miring  his  master,  that  wa«  all  he 
eeded  to  know. 

"  'Down,  Dawn,'  I  managed  to  gasp, 
nd  growling  and  bewildered,  Dawn 
beyed.  After  that  I  didn't  dare  make  a 
<wnd  when  the  doctor  was  around.  And 
omehow,  Gray  Dawn  always  managed  to 
qtrirm  his  way  between  us  to  see  nothing 
vas  done  to  harm  me.  He'd  sniff  sus- 
liciously  at  the  doctor's  black  bag  when- 
ver  the  doctor  came. 

The  dog  was  suspicious  of  him  ever 
Iter.  Terhune  and  the  doctor  became 
he  best  of  friends.  But  to  his  dying  day 
'.ray  Dawn  hated  and  growled  at  him 
vhenever  he  came  to  call,  even  without 
lis  medical  kit.  "That  man  hurt  my  mas- 
er,"  was  all  he  remembered. 

A  dog  absolutely  understands,  Terhune 
nsists.  Better  than  most  humans  do. 
^'ou  still  doubt  a  dog's  power  of  reason- 
ng,  of  understanding?  Then  listen  to 
his. 

C  EVERAL  years  ago  Mrs.  Terhune  fell 
ill  with  pneumonia,  so  terribly  ill  that 
:he  doctors  despaired  of  her  life.  For 
tea  days  she  lay  motionless,  becoming 
weaker  and  weaker.  Lad  was  only  a 
golden  collie,  but  he  understood.  All  that 
time  he  lay  outside  her  bedroom,  his  nose 
pressed  to  her  door.  A  dozen  times  a 
lay  the  master  carried  him  away  to  feed 
lim.  but  he  never  touched  a  morsel.  Back 
>efore  the  door  you'd  find  him,  oblivious 
if  the  people  who  stumbled  over  him,  and 
there  he  stuck  to  his  self-appointed  task 
is  guardian  at  his  mistress's  door. 

Came  the  day  when  the  doctor  pro- 
tumnced  her  out  of  danger.    With  one 


joyous  bound  he  was  at  her  bedside,  jump- 
ing and  barking  for  all  he  was  worth. 
"Quiet  Boy,"  the  master  ordered.  In- 
stantly Lad  fell  silent,  his  trembling  body 
and  wagging  tail  the  only  signs  of  his 
excitement.  All  of  a  sudden  he  sprang 
from  the  room  and  disappeared  up  the 
road.  About  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the 
house  there  arose  the  most  jubilant  series 
of  dog  calls  the  master  ever  heard  in  all 
his  years  of  experience  in  raising  over  a 
thousand  dogs. 

They  would  have  awakened  the  dead, 
those  paeans  of  dog  praise.  Then,  quite 
as  suddenly  as  he  had  disappeared,  Sunny- 
bank  Lad  returned  to  his  home  for  the 
first  meal  and  nap  he  had  had  in  ten  black- 
days.  The  danger  was  over ;  now  he 
could  rest. 

"Mothers  have  been  known  to  desert 
babies  when  sledding  was  tough,"  Terhune 
remarked,  "and  many  are  the  humans  who 
will  not  risk  their  lives  for  their  dear 
ones.  But  a  dog  never  hesitates ;  it  al- 
ways stands  ready  and  eager  to  gamble 
its  life  for  the  sake  of  the  humans  it 
loves.  I  myself  have  verified  three  hun- 
dred and  seventeen  instances  of  dogs 
throwing  away  their  lives  for  humans." 

For  instance,  he  told  me,  little  Gene 
Boldman  is  alive  today  because  Boots,  his 
sleek  Doberman  Pinscher  dog,  was  will- 
ing to  sacrifice  his  life  for  his  little 
charge. 

Dog  and  child  were  romping  together 
in  the  Boldman  yard  when  little  two- 
year-old  Gene  decided  he  wanted  that  red 
rose  blooming  on  his  mother's  rose  bush. 
With  Boots  at  his  heels  he  toddled  to- 
ward the  bush.  Much  to  his  surprise  and 
chagrin,  Boots  jerked  him'  back  by  the 
seat  of  his  rompers.  He  dove  forward 
again,  only  to  be  hauled  back  by  the 
seat  of  his  rompers.  Once  more  he  started 
for  the  bush  and  was  again  pulled  back 
by  the  dog  who  had  set  up  a  furious 
barking.  This  was  too  much  for  the  tot. 
Little  Gene  slapped  Boots  soundly  and 
kicked  him  away  as  the  dog  tried  to  pull 
him  back  for  the  fourth  time. 

The  child  never  plucked  that  rose,  for 
the  dog  jumped  on  the  bush  sinking  his 
sharp  teeth  into  the  neck  of  a  rattlesnake 
that  was  coiled  around  it.  The  fangs  of 
the  venomous  snake  poured  deadly  poison 
into  the  dog's  body,  but  hanging  on  for  all 
he  was  worth,  Boots  didn't  relax  his  grip 
till  the  snake  was  dead.  Then  he  toppled 
over  dead,  but  that  didn't  matter.  He  had 
saved  his  young  master's  life. 

Do  you  wonder  that  Albert  Payson  Ter- 
hune devotes  his  life  to  the  loyalest  pals 
anvone  can  ever  have?

Lowell  Thomas'  Greatest  Adventure 


(Continued  from  page  15) 


in  a  mine  side  by  side  with  the  rough  riff- 
raff of  a  gold-mad  country.  When  he  got 
home  at  night  there  was  another  side  of 
life,  the  side  that's  composed  of  books  and 
sciences,  for  his  father  had  one  of  the 
finest  libraries  in  the  West.  And  he  taught 
his  young  son  geology,  astronomy,  philos- 
ophy, poetry,  drama,  botany.  Harry 
Thomas  used  to  take  his  son  into  the 
mountains,  show  him  the  structure  of  the 
rocks,  talk  to  him  about  the  age  of  the 
earth,  show  him  the  stars  and  explain 
their  circuits.  They  picked  flowers,  ex- 
amined trees,  used  botanical  and  geological 
words  in  their  conversation,  which  Lowell 
Thomas  hasn't  forgotten  to  this  day. 
Thereafter,  when  he  was  thrown  into 
scholastic  life  he  found  that  he  could 
skip  months  of  routine  work  because  of  the 
thorough  grounding  in  fundamentals  which 
his  father  had  given  him. 

"Today,"  Thomas  told  me,  "my  job  con- 
cerns every  subject  under  the  sun.  And 
the  fact  that  my  father  taught  me  to  take 
an  interest  in  everything  shows  you  how 
perfectly  my  childhood  dovetails  with  my 
career." 

Furthermore,  in  startling  contrast  to  the 
life  of  learning  he  found  in  his  home,  there 
was  the  life  he  found  in  the  streets  of 
Cripple  Creek.  For  from  the  first,  he  was 
determined  to  make  money.  Even  then 
he  didn't  want  to  be  dependent  on  his 
father,  so  to  earn  money  he  sold  news- 
papers in  the  saloons  of  the  mining  town. 
He  rubbed  elbows  with  hardened  veterans 
of  the  world's  sink  holes.  Walking  through 
the  red  light  district  on  his  way  from 
work,  he  saw  sights  which  are  repressed 
longings  in  the  minds  of  most  boys  and 
which,  because  they  were  hateful  realities 
to  him,  made  him  healthy  and  clean  in  his 
outlook  on  the  world.  The  two  extremes 
— a  college  trained  father  at  home  to  guide 
his  every  thought  and  grim  reality  outside 
to  teach  him  the  seamier  side  of  life — 
have  resulted  in  his  understanding  every 
type  of  person,  the  stevedore,  prizefighter, 
truck  driver  on  the  one  hand  and  the  king, 
scientist  and  social  light  on  the  other. 
Little  wonder  that  he  knows  how  to  appeal 
to  every  sort  of  person  in  his  books  and 
in  his  broadcasts. 

By  the  time  he  was  twelve  he  had  a  job 
riding  nine  hours  a  day  over  the  moun- 
tains, collecting  gold  samples  from  which 
the  value  of  each  prospector's  gold  was 
determined. 

At  sixteen  he  was  ready  for  college 
and,  because  of  the  education  he  had  had 
at  home,  within  two  years  he  earned  his 
Bachelor  of  Science  degree  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Northern  Indiana  at  Valparaiso, 
working  his  way  through  at  that.  But  he 
wasr't  satisfied  with  the  kind  of  education 
he'd  gained  at  Valparaiso,  so  he  returned 
to  Cripple  Creek  and  learned  how  to  ope- 
rate a  shovel  in  the  mines.  After  that  he 
became  a  reporter  on  the  Cripple  Creek 
Times  and  in  six  months  was  the  editor. 
But  the  next  year  he  entered  the  Univers- 
ity of  Denver  and  secured  a  B.A.  as  well 
as  a  M.A.  degree.  At  night  he  worked  on 
the  Denver  Post  and  Rocky  Mountain 
Neivs. 


MOT  long  after,  he  decided  that  h< 
~  wanted  to  study  law.  He  attendee 
the  Chicago  Kent  College  of  Law  anc 
became  a  member  of  the  faculty  after  thre< 
weeks !  Ridiculous  as  it  sounds,  it's  true 
for  when  the  head  of  the  department  ii 
forensic  oratory  at  the  College  of  Lav. 
was  taken  ill  and  the  Dean  had  to  pu 
someone  in  to  take  his  place,  he  scanne< 
Thomas'  records.  They  included  firs' 
place  in  an  intercollegiate  debating  ark 
oratorical  contest  which  made  him  eligible 
to  instruct,  at  least  temporarily.  But  th( 
temporary  job  became  permanent  anc 
Thomas  had  two  thousand  men  under  him 
from  whom  he  says  he  learned  more  thai 
he  ever  taught. 

During 'the  summers  he  organized  wha 
he  described  as  "two  minor  expedition: 
to  the  Arctic" — which  meant  a  grand  trii 
to  Alaska  where  he  shot  the  -Mile.1 
Canyon,  the  White  Horse  Rapids  and  wen 
as  far  north  as  the  Arctic  Ocean.  All  thi: 
was  happening  while  he  was  in  his  earh 
twenties ! 

At  Princeton,  where  he  got  anothei 
M.A.  degree,  he  studied  constitutional  lav 
and  became  a  member  of  the  faculty.  H< 
also  taught  in  the  New  York  Law  School 
made  speeches  on  travel  and  adventure  a 
the  Brooklyn  Academy  of  Music,  thi 
Philadelphia  Academy,  and  Carnegie  Hall 
and  earned  more  on  the  side  every  few 
weeks  than  the  average  professor  earn: 
in  a  month. 

Quite  unexpectedly  he  was  called  b; 
Francis  T.  Lane,  Secretary  of  the  Interio: 
under  President  Wilson,  to  attend  a  "Se< 
America  First"  convention.  Althougl 
Lane  thought,  "This  must  be  the  profes 
sor's  son"  when  Lowell  Thomas  presentee 
his  card,  he  wasn't  long  in  changing  hi 
mind  after  the  young  instructor  made  : 
speech  that  ended  in  his  being  asked  t'_ 
take  charge  of  the  whole  movement 
It  sent  him  abroad  and  resulted  in  hi. 
becoming  one  of  the  most  widely  travelei 
men  of  our  day — and  one  in  whom  th< 
wonders  of  the  world  are  a  gloriou 
memory. 

But  now  for  the  eighth  wonder,  th; 
wonder  which  Thomas  has  discovered  an< 
which  he  showed  to  me  when  I  rode  up  t< 
see  him  the  other  day  at  his  Berkshin 
farm.  It's  one  of  the  loveliest  place: 
you've  ever  visited.  There's  a  huge  house 
a  hundred  years  old,  but  modernized  evei 
to  a  tile  bath  with  gay  sea  gulls  painted  oi 
the  walls.  There  are  three  hundred  an( 
fifty  acres  of  grand  wooded  country  witl 
fine  bridal  paths.  Lowell  Thomas  has  th 
original  charter  to  that  land,  signed  b; 
George  III,  himself,  in  person.  Here  h 
lives,  near  the  headwaters  of  the  Grotoi 
River,  with  his  attractive  wife,  Frances 
whom  he  married  August  4,  1917,  and  hi 
young  son,  Lowell  Jackson.  There  are  ; 
dozen  horses,  three  dogs — Buttons,  ai 
Irish  setter,  Boaz,  a  police  dog,  an' 
Bouncer,  a  great  Pyrenees  snow  dog,  ■ 
rare  specie  that  is  used  to  carrying  contra 
band  in  the  parts  of  the  Basque  countr 
where  man  cannot  travel. 

That  farm  is  run  for  profit  and  Thoma 
has  a  farmer  to  see  that  it  is.    A  cor- 


RADIO  STARS 


crete  tennis  court  and  a  swimming  pool 
provide  for  recreation  In  a  separate 
building  there's  a  combination  gymnasium 
and  movie  theatre.  The  projection  room 
is  installed  with  apparatus  for  piping  in 
\VJZ"s  program  each  afternoon — and 
sbove  it,  in  an  attic  reached  by  ladder, 
(here  are  two  microphones  which  Thomas 
uses  for  his  broadcasts.  When  the  engi- 
neer wants  to  signal  him  to  start  he  pulls 
an  ordinary  cord,  from  below,  which  is 
attached  to  Lowell  Thomas'  wrist.  His 
secretary  sits  opposite  concentrating  on  his 
watch,  putting  little  cards  which  bear  the 
exact  time  on  the  table  in  front  of  his 
boss  so  that  he  will  finish  on  the  precise 
instant  the  broadcast  to  which  millions  are 
listening. 

There's  a  fur  farm,  too,  where  400 
minials  are  being  raised,  silver  fox,  mink, 
titch.  Mrs.  Thomas  takes  charge  of  it  all. 
And  then  there  are  also  cows  and.  chickens. 

A  line  camaraderie  with  the  neighbors 
ias  grown  up  since  the  Thomases  started 
their  farms.  They  have  made  up  a  soft 
ball  baseball  team  called  the  Saints  and 
•the  Sinners  who  recently  played  the  White 


House  Correspondents  near  Hyde  Park  at 
Ogden  Mill's  golf  course.  The  White 
House  team  was  coached  by  President 
Roosevelt  himself  and  the  laugh  of  the  day 
came  when  the  President  yanked  Pitcher 
Tugwell  out  of  the  box.  That  won  the 
game  for  the  administration. 

I  asked  Thomas  if  there  were  to  be 
any  more  adventures.  "If  radio  gives  out, 
I  guess  so,"  he  said  modestly. 

Radio  won't  give  out  and  I  have  a 
hunch  Lowell  Thomas  will  go  right  on 
leading  his  enviable  and  relatively  im- 
adventurous  life  in  the  Berkshire  foot- 
hills. When  he  wants  a  vacation  he'll 
turn  that  little  attic  into  a  broadcasting 
station  again.  Beside  him  on  a  rustic 
bench  in  that  little  attic  "Sonny"  will  sit 
— for  Thomas  wants  the  boy  beside  him  at 
every  broadcast — and  Frannie  will  be 
waiting  at  the  house  to  ask  him  how  it 
went.  And  in  the  mornings  he  and  Sonny 
will  ride  for  hours  and  watch  the  sun 
shining  on  the  leaves  and  casting  bright 
patches  on  the  lush  undergrowth.  And 
they'll  smile  at  each  other,  glorying  in  the 
eighth  wonder  of  the  world — home. 


I   Peep  In  at  the  Carefree  Carnival 


(Continued  from  pacic  61) 


Tollinger's  job  is  an  important  one,  per- 
laps  the  most  important  in  the  Carnival. 
As  stooge  for  all  the  comedians  and  musi- 
ians,  he  is  the  unifying  thread  binding  all 
:he  variety  of  song,  monologue,  dialogue 
ind  "drama."  He  says  his  early  training 
is  a  comic  strip  artist  helps  a  lot.  He  does 
lot  dally  long  before  introducing  the  or- 
rhestra  which,  under  Meredith  Willson's 
jaton,  swings  into  tuneful  action.  Will- 
•on,  let  me  tell  you  confidentially,  takes 
j  oo  chances.  He  is  said  to  have  on  hand  a 
supply  of  not  less  than  twenty  batons  just 
n  case  one  of  them  snaps. 

^XE  thing  leads  to  another,  but  all 
^  roads  in  the  Carnival  arrive  ultimately 

I  jat  the  feet  of  that  rajah  of  the  ridiculous, 
l  ine  other  than  the  afore-mentioned  Sena- 

t  orFishface.  In  real  life  known  as  an  Ore- 
lonian  named  Elmore  Vincent.  He  con- 
vulses the  kids  with  his  comic  way  of  tell- 
ng  fairy  tales  like  Goldilocks  and  King 
Cole.  Xever  does  he  tell  one,  but  he  has 
o  tell  it  over  again  in  response  to  an 
ivalanch  of  letters  requesting  an  encore. 

Usually  he  is  conducting  a  political  cam- 
bism, "ripping  planks  out  of  platforms" 
■vhen  he's  not  demanding  universal  nudism. 
In  the  latter  instance,  he  announced  that 
ie  had  the  support  of  the  Open  Pore  Xud- 
<t  Cult  of  Bareback,  Indiana  and  the 
Closed  Pore  Cult  of  Blackfoot  Gulch, 
Pennsylvania. 

The  Senator  is  no  stammerer  when  he 
-ings,  but  even  in  ordinary  conversation  he 
•peaks  hesitantly.  A  case  of  a  man  who 
ias  made  his  defect  work  for  him.  He 
loes  not,  however,  ad  lib.  Every  inch  of 
lis  prattle  is  written  down  and  memorized. 
^>ut  West  he  is  known  as  the  "walking 
igsaw." 

A  regular  feature  of  the  Saturday  night 
titertainment  is  cock-eyed  drama  a  la  Ed 
Wynn  in  which  Senator  Fishface  is  ablv 
supported  by   Ben   Klassen  and  Myron 


Xiesley.  who  when  not  singing  tenor  in 
the  Doric  Quartet,  wear  goatees  and  act 
nutty.  Charlie  Marshall,  who  heads  the 
Mavericks,  the  hill-billy  aggregation,  also 
plays  a  part.  Helen  Troy,  the  Gracie 
Allen-Portland  Hoffa  of  the  Carnival, 
with  a  lisp  all  her  own  adds  her  bit,  too. 

£HARLIE  MARSHALL,  second  only 
to  Fishface,  as  a  Carnival  star  was  a 
hill-billy,  cowboy  song  warbler  until  in  his 
program  he  developed  a  humorous  style 
that  makes  listeners  laugh  without  gagging. 
He  is  a  big  six-foot,  oak  stump  of  a  man 
who  looks  like  a  moving  picture  sheriff. 

In  the  program  he  calls  himself  the 
"lyre  and  lute  man"  and  is  supported  by 
Ace  Wright,  a  fiddler  from  Arkansas ; 
Johnny  Toffoli  who  plays  the  accordion 
and  Johnny  O'Brien  who  single  handed  is 
a  Minnevich  orchestra.  These  four,  call- 
ing themselves,  the  Mavericks,  sing,  play 
and  make  whoopee. 

Peeking  further  into  this  grab-bag  of 
music  and  merriment  we  find  Pinky  Lee. 
who  takes  the  part  of  a  lisping  sailor.  He 
learned  to  lisp  proposing  to  the  girl  who 
is  now  his  wife.  Then  there  is  the  225 
pound  daughter  of  a  doctor,  Miss  Cynthia, 
who  gives  the  Carnival  its  Kate  Smith ; 
Rita  Lane,  a  much  traveled  operatic  so- 
prano, and  the  Coquettes  who  do  an  act  like 
the  Pickens  Sisters.  From  time  to  time 
the  program  boasts  a  balalaika  orchestra. 
And  coming  this  Fall  is  Etta  Motten,  con- 
tralto; who  has  been  the  offstage  voice 
for  such  movie  stars  as  Barbara  Stanwyck 
and  Ginger  Rogers. 


I'M  asking  you  again:  Is  this  a  bargain 
or  is  this  a  bargain?  The  people  of  San 
Francisco,  a  discerning  group  of  citizens 
from  all  reports,  know  a  good  thing  when 
they  have  it.  The  Community  Playhouse 
of  that  city,  where  the  broadcast  is  held, 
seats  a  thousand  people.    And  the  SRO

A  Kalamazoo 

'Kiurxx  Direct  to  You" 


sign  hangs  over  the  box-office  every  Satur- 
day night.  To  date  it  has  broken  all  West 
Coast  records  for  attendance  at  a  broad- 
cast. Also  records  in  every  other  cate- 
gory. For  listener  response.  For  consistent 
performance.  For  general  popularity. 
It  is  coming  east  rapidly  and  I  would 
not  be  surprised  to  find  the  Carnival  soon 
on  double  schedule :  one  on  the  old  time 
and  another  at  a  time  more  convenient 
for  the  listeners  on  the  other  side  of  the 
continent. 

Proof  of  its  great  drawing  power  was 
had  recently  when  the  Carnival  went 
off  the  air  for  a  couple  of  weeks.  The 
studios  were  buried  in  letters  of  protest, 
angry  and  tearful  letters  demanded  its  re- 
turn. Records  for  correspondence  to  a 
West  Coast  feature  went  glimmering.  A 
printer  in  Idaho  had  his  petition  for  their 
return  engraved  and  printed  on  glazed 
paper  bearing  the  signatures,  of  himself 
and  all  the  employees  of  the  shop. 

The  success  of  the  Carnival  is  interesting 


because  it  parallels  the  triumph  of  similar 
features  in  the  east,  such  programs  as 
Rudy  Vallee's,  Paul  Whitman's  and  others. 
Except  for  its  greater  variety  and  spon- 
taniety  these  programs  are  miniature  vaude- 
ville shows  and  very  much  alike.  Their 
popularity  is  proof  that  people  like  those 
programs  best  which  have  dash,  informality 
and  a  little  bit  of  everything.  Especially 
the  last.  Certainly  the  Carefree  Carnival 
has  a  little  bit  of  everything. 

There's  one  fly  in  the  ointment.  And 
that's  the  difference  of  time  between  East 
Coast  and  West  Coast.  Broadcast  at  a 
normal  evening  hour  in  San  Francisco,  it 
reaches  the  Atlantic  Seaboard  well  after 
midnight.  But  there  is  consolation.  It 
reaches  there  on  Saturday  night.  And 
after  Saturday  comes  Sunday  with  no 
work  to  do,  no  job  to  go  to.  My  advice 
to  you  is  stay  up,  young  man,  stay  up. 
Dial  in  the  biggest  bargain  on  the  air 
and  pay  for  the  extra  hour  by  snoring  a 
little  longer  on  the  Sabbath  morn. 


The  Bright  New  Feather  in  Kate 
Smith's  Cap 

(Continued  from  payc  47) 


absence  from  New  York  and  the  airwaves. 

She  went  off  the  air  on  October  14, 
1933.  When  she  returned  on  July  16, 
193-4,  a  new  vibrant  quality  had  come  into 
her  voice.  What  had  happened  to  her? 
Had  she  had  an  emotional  experience  that 
had  given  her  some  new  understanding? 
Had  she  studied  with  some  teacher  who 
had  taught  her  a  new  technique?  I  de- 
cided to  ask  her. 

'"Yes,"  she  told  me  honestly,  ''something 
did  happen  to  me  but  it's  none  of  the 
things  you  suspect. 

"First,  I'll  be  frank  to  admit  that  last 
October  the  routine  had  gotten  under  my 
skin.  I  needed  a  change.  I  wanted  to 
leave  New  York  City,  get  a  rest  from 
the  grueling  schedule  of  rehearsals,  pro- 
gram-planning, interviews — all  the  nerve- 
racking  things  that  wear  you  down  just 
because  you  have  to  do  them  day  in  and 
day  out. 

"I  wanted  to  work,  work  hard — but  at 
something  new,  different  and  exciting.  I 
got  what  I  was  after  all  right.  We'd 
planned  to  have  our  whole  company  of 
forty-five  people  back  in  New  York  by 
Christmas.  Our  tour  continued  through 
May! 

"I  found  out  that  I  was  going  through 
one  of  the  greatest  experiences  of  my  life. 
/  was  meeting  my  fans  for  the  first  time! 

"And  let  me  tell  you,  it  does  something 
to  you  to  stand  silently  on  a  stage  for 
three  minutes  while  the  audience  cheers 
and  applauds  your  appearance.  That  hap- 
pened the  night  of  the  opening  perform- 
ance in  Houston.  It  made  me  so  nervous 
that  Ted  Collins  said  to  me  when  I  came 
off  the  stage,  "Kate,  you  sound  like  an  old 
woman !'  My  voice  was  quavering  so 
much ! 

"It  does  something  to  you,  to  see  people 
even  standing  in  the  rain  to  see  your  show. 
Did  you  know  that  we  broke  attendance 
records  in  sixteen  out  of  thirty  weeks ! 


C  ROM  June  1,  when  our  tour  ended 
until  July  10,  when  we  started  rehearsal: 
for  my  return  to  the  air,  I  didn't  sing  : 
note.  But  I  did  plenty  of  thinking.  ] 
remembered  all  the  heart-warming  mo- 
ments on  our  long  tour.  How  Ma  Fcrgu 
son  had  made  me  a  Texas  Ranger  whei 
we  were  in  Dallas — I  think  I'm  only  th> 
third  woman  to  be  made  a  Texas  Ranger 
I  thought  of  those  grand  folks  in  Siou: 
City,  the  members  of  the  Winebago  trib 
of  Indians.  They  said  I  was  their  favorit 
entertainer  and  they  made  me  a  princess 
Princess  Hombogowinga,  which  mean 
Glory  of  the  Moon! 

"Maybe  it  was  wrong  of  me  to  thin 
of  all  those  little  triumphs,  and  of  the  nic 
things  my  fans  had  told  me  in  words  an 
in  applause.  But  after  all,  I'm  only  humai 
besides  I  was  keying  myself  up  to  tha 
return  to  the  air  which  meant  getting  bac 
to  my  army  of  fans  who  had  proven  the 
they  were  as  strong  for  Kate  Smith  a 
they  were  before. 

"If  my  voice  has  changed  and  improve! 
as  you  say  it  has,  I  guess  it  must  b 
because  /  have  changed  and  improved- 
in  health,  in  spirit  and  in  new-born  cor 
fidence." 

William  Paley  heard  the  same  new  qua 
ity  in  her  voice  which  you  and  I  hear' 
It  only  confirmed  the  deep-seated  faith  I  . 
has  always  had  in  Kate.  And  then  1 
saw  how  she  could  fit  into  his  plans.  I- 
realized  that  his  company  broadcasts  f< 
sixteen  hours  every  day  in  the  week.  B 
all  the  valuable  programs  are  after  fi' 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  That  was  tl 
weakness  in  the  structure  of  the  broa' 
casting  business,  for  he  knows  that  then 
a  listening  afternoon  public  of  many  m 
lion  people. 

He  knew,  too.  that  many  big  sponso 
were  bidding  for  Kate's  services— -VicV 
Castoria,  Camels,  Sunshine  Biscuit,  1 
France.  So  he  went  to  Ted  Collins,  Kat<|

(\er  manager,  and  said:  "/  want  to  hire 
}te  Smith.  I'll  pay  her  salary  if  she'll 
I  Id  afternoon  programs  for  me.  We'll 
ke  a  show  for  every  member  of  the

So  it  was  arranged.  Her  evening  half- 
hour  can  be  sold  to  a  sponsor,  if  Kate's 
on  the  program,  but  the  matinee  belongs 
to  Columbia,  because  it  is  building  up  the 
value  of  those  afternoon  hours. 

It's  a  new  feather  in  Kate's  cap,  all 
right,  but  don't  forget  those  months  of 
struggle  and  perseverance  "on  the  road" 
when  she  was  learning  how  to  earn  iti 


"he  Nine  Greatest  Women  in  Radio 


{Continued  from  page  17) 


e  a  youthful  Billie  Burke.  Her  voice 
soft  and  well-modulated.  As  far  as  her 
sonal  appearance  is  concerned  there  is 
thing  about  her  that  smacks  of  efficiency, 
t  if  you  look  close  you  will  see  the 
ength  of  her  chin.  If  you  listen  well, 
u  will  note  that  her  soft  voice  is  decisive, 
rtha  Brainard  is  not  one  with  whom  you 
1  trifle.  She  is  the  typical  modern  wo- 
rn— feminine,  but  efficient.  In  radio  she 
the  first  great  woman  executive  and 
erefore  on  the  list. 

Our  other  behind-the-scenes  lady  belongs 
Columbia.   Her  name  is  Ora  D.  Nichols, 
meant  nothing  to  me,  yet  all  executives 
mediately  placed  her  among  the  first 
le.    I  investigated  and  discovered  that 
-a  Nichols  is  the  most  important  of  any 
e  on  that  list.    Radio  could  have  pro- 
essed  without  a  Kate  Smith,  without  a 
ragonette,  without  the  others,  but  with- 
t  Ora  Nichols  I  doubt  if  it  would  be 
such  an  advanced  stage.    She  is  head 
Columbia's  sound  department.    Six  men 
:>rk  for  her,  take  her  orders.    Since  she 
s  been  with  Columbia,  Ora  D.  Nichols 
is  invented  1000  sounds. 
It  was  Ora  who  discovered  that  an  egg 
ater   whirring   close   to   a  microphone 
unds  like  a  lawn  mower.   The  sounds  she 
;vents  are  kept  in  little  black  wooden 
>xes.    These  boxes  even  astonish  NBC's 
•una  department.    Sometimes  their  mem- 
•rs  go  over  to  Columbia  just  to  look  and 
arvel,  for  the  NBC  sounds  are  encased 
heavy    unwieldy    contraptions,  while 
ra's  can  be  carried  by  a  woman. 
The  lady  herself?    She  was  an  organist 
ith  her  husband  in  a  New  York  motion 
dure  theatre.    When  he  went  to  Co- 
mbia's  sound  department,  she  followed, 
iter  his  death,  she  carried  on  his  work, 
ike  Bertha  Brainard,  Ora  Nichols  is  ex- 
ptionally  feminine  in  appearance.  While 
!iss  Brainard  makes  you  think  of  an  act- 
ss,  there  is  only  one  word  which  de- 
-ribes  Ora  Nichols  and  that  is  home- 
djr.   You    could    picture    her  teaching 
:hool  in  Oshkosh  or  keeping  house  in 
vanston,  but  you  cannot  picture  her  in- 
diting sounds  for  the  Columbia  Broad- 
isting  System.    However,  that's  her  job 
nd  she  has  done  it  so  superbly  that  she 
ell  deserves  to  be  on  the  list. 
Then  there  is  Mrs.  Roosevelt.    As  first 
idy  she  forged  a  path  for  her  successors. 
!ie  proved  that  a  great  lady  could  parturi- 
ate in  a  commercial  program  and  still 
laiatain  her  dignity.   She  knew  she  would 
xeive  a  large  amount  of  money    for  her 
rvices  and  also  knew  there  were  diari- 
es which  would  welcome  that  money.  So 
he  braved  criticism.    The  President's  wife 
feat  on  the  air.    And  she  set  a  standard, 


a  very  high  standard.  Because  her  hitherto 
unheard  of  action  led  the  way,  and  because 
she  brought  to  radio  the  feminine  side  of 
that  greatest  of  American  names,  Mrs. 
Franklin  Delano  Roosevelt  is  on  the  list. 

We  did  not  forget  Gertrude  Berg,  the 
brains  of  the  Goldbergs,  and  Mollie  Gold- 
berg, herself.  She  is  both  writer  and 
actress,  a  pioneer  who  had  faith  in  an  idea 
and  would  not  let  it  be  downed.  Although 
she  had  a  difficult  time  selling  that  first 
script,  she  possessed  confidence  in  it — and 
in  herself.  Gertrude  Berg  goes  on  the  list 
not  only  because  her  Goldbergs  are  as  fa- 
miliar to  the  general  public  as  Amos  'n' 
Andy,  as  the  Gumps  and  Orphan  Annie, 
but  because  Mrs.  Berg  is  solely  a  product 
of  radio.  She  came  to  it  with  no  previous 
stage,  screen,  vaudeville,  operatic,  concert 
or  literary  reputation.  She  started  with 
radio  .  .  .  she  grew  with  radio  .  .  .  she  be- 
longs to  it. 

Of  course  there  is  Ireene  Wicker.  Her 
name  may  not  be  as  well  known  as  the 
name  she  made  her  particular  audiences 
love  .  .  .  that  of  the  Singing  Lady.  Ireene 
Wicker  differs  from  the  others.  Before 
her  great  hit  she  did  a  lot  of  radio  work. 
At  one  time  in  two  successive  broadcasts 
she  played  thirteen  different  characters. 
Then  someone  had  a  bright  idea.  Someone 
thought  of  the  Singing  Lady.  Someone 
else  thought  of  Ireene  Wicker.  The  com- 
bination was  an  inspiration. 

Her  program  is  really  for  little  children. 
It  is  a  soothing,  entertaining  and  minus 
blood  curdling  tales.  It  is  the  kindergarten 
of  the  air  and  a  broadcast  that  any  mother 
can  trust.  The  Singing  Lady  is  all  this 
and  more,  for  there  is  an  arresting  quality 
about  her  voice  that  brings  back  memories 
of  long  forgotten  lullabies,  that  makes  even 
grown-ups  pause  and  listen.  Every  night 
children  wait  for  her.  They  know  her  bet- 
ter than  they  know  Mother  Goose  or  the 
Man  in  the  Moon.  She  is  an  intimate 
voice  coming  out  of  the  air.  The  mothers 
of  America  owe  her  a  vote  of  thanks,  for 
the  Singing  Lady  has  raised  children's  pro- 
grams to  a  high  level.  We  cannot  leave 
her  out.  It  would  be  unfair  to  the  Ameri- 
can child.  This  list  is  incomplete  without 
the  Singing  Lady. 

And  now  for  the  ninth  woman  ...  in- 
deed, for  the  woman  who  makes  possible 
all  these  other  women.  This  ninth  woman 
is  the  most  important  person  in  the  entire 
radio  broadcast  set-up. 

You  know  her  already,  I  suspect.  Be- 
lieve me,  she  is  known  to  the  men  who 
build  advertising  programs,  for  hardly  a 
show  goes  on  the  air  that  isn't  aimed  di- 
rectly at  her. 

She  is  you — and  you  and  you!    She  is

Gray  Hair 

Best  Remedy  is  Made  At  Home 

You  can  now  make  at  home  a  better  gray 
hair  remedy  than  you  ran  buy  by  following' 
this  simple  recipe:  To  half  pint  of  water  add 
one  ounce  bay  rum,  a  small  box  of  Barbo 
Compound  and  one-fourth  ounce  of  glycerine. 
Any  druggist  can  put  this  up  or  you  can  mix 
it  yourself  at  very  little  cost.  Apply  to  the  hair 
twice  aweek  until  the  desired  shade  is  obtained. 

Barbo  imparts  color  to  streaked,  faded  or 
gray  hair,  making  it  soft  and  glossy.  It  will 
not  color  the  scalp,  is  not  sticky  or  greasy 
and  does  not  rub  off.

Men  Are  Saps 


(Continued  from  paye  49) 


finally  admitted  humbly.  "I'd  better  stay 
here  and  try  to  save  up  enough  to  get 
married  on." 

Of  course  marriage  under  such  condi- 
tions would  mean  the  end  of  all  his  dreams 
of  singing.  But  it  was  worth  it,  he 
thought.  Fame  could  never  make  up  for 
the  loss  of  Mary  Ann,  and  besides,  how 
could  he  be  sure  he  would  make  a  go  of 
it  in  New  York  ? 

Every  dollar  he  could  spare  went  into 
the  bank  so  that  when  he  and  Mary  got 
married  they'd  have  a  little  nest-egg.  Came 
the  day  he  had  all  of  $500  and  then  the 
blow  fell. 

Everett  picked  up  the  town  newspaper. 
In  black,  bold  print  it  told  of  Mary  Ann's 
elopement  with  a  suave  city  fellow  who 
had  a  college  degree  and  a  business  of  his 
own.  Without  a  word  of  warning  she 
had  eloped  with  a  man,  who  could  offer 
her  more  than  he  could. 

Suddenly  everything  went  black.  It  was 
as  if  he  had  descended  into  a  bottomless 
pit  and  there  was  no  way  out.  He  couldn't 
stand  the  whispers  of  his  friends,  the  pry- 
ing of  his  neighbors.  In  bitter  despair 
and  with  hope  of  happiness  dead  in  his 
heart,  he  went  to  New  York  to  study 
music.  In  his  burning  misery  he  buried 
himself  in  work,  trying  to  forget  his 
abject  humiliation. 

VOU'D  think  that  after  that  Everett 
'  Marshall  would  have  been  cured  and 
that  as  long  as  he  lived  he  would  never 
wholly  trust  another  woman.  If  you  think 
that,  you  don't  know  men.  There  are 
certain  things  they  never  learn  by  ex- 
perience, and  insight  into  women  is  one  of 
them.  It  was  only  natural,  however,  that 
since  Everett  Marshall  had  been  fooled 
by  a  blonde,  that  the  next  time  he  should 
fall  for  a  woman  totally  different. 

While  studying  in  Milan  he  met  Caro- 
lina Segrera  at  his  teacher's  studio.  How 
different  dark-eyed,  black-haired  Carolina 
was  from  that  first  double-crossing  little 
girl  he'd  loved.  Here  was  a  woman  who'd 
be  loyal  to  a  man  to  the  last  ditch.  Unlike 
Mary  Ann,  she  didn't  ask  him  to  give  up 
his  dreams  of  singing.  On  the  contrary, 
she  was  interested  in  a  musical  career  for 
herself,  too,  and  urged  him  on. 

No  man  was  prouder  than  he  the  day 
Carolina  told  him  she  would  marry  him. 
That  was  when  Gatti  Cazazza,  on  a  vaca- 
tion in  Italy,  had  heard  young  Marshall 
sing  and  offered  him  a  four-year  contract 
with  the  Metropolitan  Opera  at  seventy- 
five  dollars  a  week.  Certainly  prospects 
were  rosy  and  there'd  be  enough  money 
for  both  of  them  to  keep  on  studying  in 


98 


the  United  States.  With  everythii 
smooth  sailing,  Carolina  married  him. 

There  was  a  glorious  honeymoon  throu, 
Italy  and  Everett  experienced  the  great* 
happiness  he  had  ever  known.  Here  w 
perfect  companionship  and  understandir 
Here  was  a  woman  whose  love  for  hi 
was  so  great  that  she  shared  his  eve' 
ambition. 

Then  a  blow  fell,  one  that  left  h 
reeling.  By  the  terms  of  the  Metropoli 
contract  he  was  to  sing  only  twelve  we 
out  of  the  entire  year  and  was  forbi 
to  do  any  other  work.  Now  seventy- 
dollars  a  week  sounds  like  a  good  inco 
for  a  young  singer,  doesn't  it?  E 
seventy-live  dollars  a  week  for  only  twe 
weeks  makes  just  $900  a  year,  less  tr. 
eighteen  a  week.  On  this  sum  the  you 
couple  was  to  keep  up  an  apartment,  fe 
clothe  and  amuse  themselves.  And  t' 
was  to  continue  for  four  years ! 

The  love-nest  they  had  rented  on  Riv 
side  Drive  was  dropped  and  they  mo 
into  a  cheap  flat.  Carolina,  bewild 
and  unaccustomed  to  hard  times,  coul 
understand.  In  Italy  she  had  sung  at  c 
certs  and  opera.  But  here,  she  wa 
nobody  and  so  was  Everett.  In  It 
Everett  had  been  starred  in  opera,  but 
the  Metropolitan  he  was  just  am 
promising  young  singer  to  be  given  s 
roles.  His  experience  was  not  uni 
Scores  of  young  singers  have  it. 


DLT  to  Carolina  this  system  was  m- 
dening.  Wasn't  it  because  his  vet 
was  so  magnificent  that  Cazazza  11 
brought  him  from  Italy  to  sing  at  '■ 
Metropolitan?  Then  why  should  Caza  t 
now  east  Everett  into  the  backgroui1 
Why  couldn't  he  use  him  more  than  twt  I 
weeks  ? 

To  all  this,  Marshall  had  no  ansv  ■ 
What  could  anyone  say  ?  So,  though  R 
Metropolitan  contract  distinctly  forbS 
his  appearing  in  vaudeville,  he  changed  s 
name  to  Robert  Newell  and  signed  up  f 
a  nation-wide  tour  with  RKO. 

Jubilantly  he  went  home  to  tell  his  ve 
of  their  good  fortune.  Now  there'd  e 
money  enough  for  everything,  for  m  c 
lessons,  for  the  pretty  clothes  she  lo  1 
They  could  forget  their  two  years  f 
misery  and  begin  to  live.  But  when  e 
got  home  Carolina's  room  was  empty.  * 
had  packed  up  her  trunks  and  left  hir 

Once  again  a  woman  had  made  a  J 
of  Everett  Marshall. 

Bitterly    he    vowed   that   never  a;«» 
would  he  trust  a  woman,  never  woulcie 
give  over  his  happiness  to  a  woman  w>  i 
placed  her  work  above  love  and  marrie-  1

JACKACHES 
IEED  WARMTH 

n»  of  thousands  of  folks  who  used  to  suffer  from 
arable  backaches,  shoulder  pains  and  chest  con- 
stlun  now  put  on  an  Allcock's  Porous  Plaster  and 
id  the  most  soothing  relief.  It's  simply  wonderful 
r  muscle  pains  caused  by  rheumatism,  neuritis, 
thritis,  sciatica,   lumbago,   sprains  and  strains. 

»  beauty  about  Allcock's  Porous  Plaster  is  its 
f  glow  of  warmth  that  makes  you  feel  good  right 
«y.  Actually,  what's  happening  is  that  it  draws 
e  blood  to  that  spot.  It  treats  the  backache 
iere  it  is.  No  dosing  when  you  use  Allcock's 
rous  Plaster.  No  fuss  or  muss,  either.  Allcock's 
the  original  porous  plaster.  In  almost  100  years 
porous  plaster  has  ever  been  made  that  goes  on 
ul  conies  off  as  easily,  or  that  does  as  much  good. 
•  sure  the  druggist  gives  you  ALLCOCK'S  25c. 


Since  then,  by  his  own  efforts  he  has 
made  a  success  of  his  radio  career.  You've 
heard  him  recently  on  his  own  program, 
the  Everett  Marshall  Broadway  Vanities, 
and  as  the  featured  baritone  on  the  Schlitz 
"Spotlight  Revue." 

Now  he's  in  love  again.  Strangely 
enough,  it's  with  a  woman  whose  career 
as  a  dancer  has  been  the  guiding  star  of 
her  life.  But  this  time  he's  convinced  that 
this  woman  cares  more  for  him  than  for 
her  work. 

I  wonder.  It  would  seem  almost  too 
cruel  if  she,  too,  lets  him  down.  It  will 
be  interesting  to  see  what  the  future 
brings,  whether  his  past  experience  with 
women  has  really  taught  him  to  tell  the 
tinsel  from  the  gold.  But  before  you  feel 
superior  to  him,  perhaps  you'd  better  take 
another  look  at  that  dimpled  darling  you 
proposed  to  yesterday.  Other  men  have 
been  just  as  sure  as  you  have  that  they 
were  not  making  a  mistake.  Perhaps  you 
too  are  an  Everett  Marshall. 


Laughing  Lovers 


(Continued  from  page  78) 

you  remember,  we  once  met  the  produc- 
tion manager  of  Warner  Brothers  and  he 
promised  us  a  job  if  we  ever  came  to 
Hollywood.  Let's  see  him.  He'll  surely 
give  us  a  job." 

The  day  they  were  leaving  for  Holly- 
wood, their  phone  rang.  It  was  the  station 
director.  "Say  kids,"  he  yelled  excitedly, 
"I  have  a  great  spot  for  you.  It  won't 
pay  much,  but  it's  a  grand  opportunity." 

Tim  caught  the  warning  look  in  Irene's 
eyes.  "Sorry,"  he  answered,  "we're  going 
in  the  movies." 

Early  the  next  morning,  Irene  dragged 
Tim  to  the  Warner  studios.  They  waited 
hours  for  the  production  manager  to  see 
them.  Finally,  they  were  ushered  into  his 
office. 

He  greeted  them  warmly.  "Sure,  I  re- 
member you,"  he  said.  "But  we're  not 
hiring  anybody  now." 

Outside  again,  Irene  looked  at  Tim.  Tim 
looked  at  Irene. 

"Well,"  he  remarked,  "that  radio  offer 
doesn't  look  so  bad  now,  does  it?" 

They  rushed  into  the  nearest  cigar  store 
and  called  the  station.  "If  the  offer  still 
holds,"  Tim  said,  "we'll  take  it." 

Thank  heavens,  the  job  was  still  open. 
Next  week  they  were  members  of  the 
California  "Carefree  Carnival."  Their 
plugging  hadn't  been  in  vain. 

This  past  spring,  John  Royal,  program 
director  of  XBC,  happened  to  hear  Irene's 
funny,  piping  voice  and  Tim's  suave  humor. 
That  was  all  they  needed.  Inside  of  a  week 
they  were  heading  for  New  York  at 
Royal's  order. 

What  does  the  Big  Town  hold  in  store 
for  them?  Well,  right  now  their  chances 
look  very  good.  Several  sponsors  are 
dickering  for  their  services.  And  I'm  bet- 
ting they'll  come  through  in  Big  Time. 
Tim  and  Irene  have  emerged  through  their 
trying  ordeal  with  flying  colors.  And  they 
will  do  it  again.

ALL-VEGETABLE  RELIEF 


TODAY  at  60  she  feels  younger  than  she  did 
10  years  ago — and  she  has  made  only  one 
change.  Like  millions  of  others  she  has  switched 
to  a  laxative  that  is  completely  natural — all- 
vegetable  Nature's  Remedy  (NR  Tablets).  She 
noticed  the  difference  immediately.  The  very 
first  little  NR  Tablet  left  her  feeling  better- 
refreshed,  clean,  more  alive.  She  soon  found 
herself  resting  better — she  seemed  to  have  new 
energy,  a  new  outlook  on  life.  Bothersome  bil- 
ious spells,  headaches,  colds  were  quickly  elim- 
inated. And  she  noticed  that  she  never  had  to 
increase  the  dosage  of  Nature's  Remedy — for  a 
very  definite  reason — NR  Tablets  contain  no 
minerals  or  phenol  derivatives,  only  natural 
laxative  elements  wisely  placed  by  nature  in 
plants  and  vegetables.  That's  why  they  work 
gently  yet  thoroughly  the  way  nature  intended. 
See  for  yourself.  Take  an  NR  tonight — See

system.  Get  a  25c  box  today  at  any  drug  store.

RADIO  STARS 


Globe  Trotting  to  Glory 


commercial  by  the  Chesterfield  Cigarette 
Company  on  RUOK,  the  chief  radio  sta- 
tion. Now  she  was  going  places !  But 
her  great  joy  turned  to  disappointment,  for 
the  hotel  management  to  whom  she  was 
contracted  wouldn't  allow  her  to  accept 
it.  Why?  Because,  they  reasoned,  no 
one  would  come  to  hear  her  at  the  hotel 
if  she  were  on  such  a  popular  radio 
program. 

She  tried  to  tell  him  that  it  would  work 
just  the  other  way  around.  Tried  to  tell 
him  that  in  America  people  flocked  to  see, 
as  well  as  hear,  Rudy  Vallee,  Eddie  Can- 
tor, Kate  Smith  and  a  host  of  other  air 
favorites  when  they  played  at  theatres  or 
hotels.  She  fought  and  argued  with  them 
for  hours.  But  her  bosses  merely  folded 
their  arms  and  continued  to  shake  their 
heads  calmly  in  the  face  of  her  forceful 
pleas.  The  Chinese,  she  discovered  in  that 
heartbreaking  experience,  have  very  defi- 
nite ideas  of  their  own.  It  was  such  a 
heavy  blow  to  her  hopes  that  she  left 
Shanghai  in  disgust  for  Hong  Kong. 

With  her  ever  increasing  repertoire  of 
foreign  songs  she  was  naturally  a  great 
hit.  But  she  had  one  hair-raising  experi- 
ence to  add  to  the  glamor  of  her  success. 
During  an  evening  trip  to  Macao  by  boat, 
the  vessel  was  suddenly  invaded  by  pirates 
who  still  infest  the  Chinese  waters.  Bran- 
dishing a  pistol  over  her  head,  a  bleary- 
eyed  fellow  robbed  her  of  all  her  jewelry 
and  money,  then  thrust  her  roughly  into 
a  stateroom  and  locked  the  door.  She 


(Continued  from  page  41) 

crouched  in  her  room  petrified  with  fear 
as  to  what  would  happen  next.  After 
hours  of  waiting,  she  finally  fell  asleep 
from  exhaustion.  It  was  daylight  when 
she  was  awakened  by  a  strange  Chinese 
sailor  from  whom  she  learned  the  hor- 
rible details  of  the  night  before.  The 
hordes  of  pirates  had  locked  all  the  pas- 
sengers in  their  Tooms,  killed  the  purser 
and  carried  their  prize  down  the  coast  to 
a  hide-out,  where  they  stripped  the  vessel 
and  then  turned  the  hulk  loose  to  drift 
until  help  arrived. 

r^lD  that  terrifying  experience  discour- 
age  Rita  from  staying  in  China?  Not 
a  bit.  Chalk  it  up  to  thrills  and  adven- 
ture !  It  was  only  when  she  decided  that 
opportunity  in  China  was  too  limited  that 
she  packed  her  trunks  and  caught  a  boat 
for  Honolulu.  By  now  the  world  was 
becoming  a  small  place  to  Rita  Bell. 

In  Honolulu  she  had  little  difficulty  ob- 
taining a  singing  job  over  Station  KGU 
for  the  Chinese  broadcasts  were  heard  in 
Honolulu,  so  she  already  had  a  certain 
amount  of  fame  and  popularity.  Do  you 
see  how  this  exciting  trek  around  the  globe 
was  giving  Rita  Bell  the  thing  she  wanted 
— a  buildup  in  radio? 

Then  some  enterprising  Columbia  official 
in  California  heard  her  singing  from  Hono- 
lulu and  wired  her  an  offer.  "Come  to 
Hollywood.    We've  a  spot  for  you." 

That  was  just  what  she  had  been  look- 
ing for!     An  offer  for  a  big  American 


network !  When  she  hopped  on  that  boa 
for  the  U.  S.  A.  again,  she  knew  she  wa 
on  the  last  lap  of  her  journey. 

From  then  on  it  was  comparatively  easj 
All  those  thrilling,  adventuresome  year 
spent  in  quest  of  a  radio  career  hadn't  bee 
in  vain.  "New  York  or  bust,"  became  he 
motto.  Yet  to  her  the  wilds  of  the  jungl 
and  strangeness  of  the  Orient  were  easie 
to  pierce  than  the  scepticism  of  New  Yorl 
But  now  she  was  armed  with  a  goo 
weapon.  She  didn't  have  to  storm  th 
studio  doors  the  way  thousands  of  ur 
knowns  do.  She  had  something.  She  ha 
experience !  She  had  to  go  to  Franc 
England,  Germany,  Africa,  China  an,  • 
Honolulu  for  it — she  had  to  spend  fiv 
years  jumping  from  one  strange  city  t 
another — but  she  got  what  she  wanted  • 
Entree  to  a  large  broadcasting  network  * 

Now    she    feels    she's    just  startinj 
Whether  or  not  she  really  becomes  a  sta  I 
remains  to  be  seen.    But  at  least  she's  "in.  I 
And  because  she  did  it  all  by  herself,  witr  J 
out  trying  to  pull  strings,  without  gettin  I 
bitter  and  slamming  radio  the  way  a  1<  I 
of  unsuccessful  aspirants  do,  I  like  to  te  I 
her  story  to  the  thousands  of  other  boj  I , 
and  girls  trying  to  crash  radio.    It  holt  } 
a  lesson  and  a  warning.    It  shows  ho 
tremendously  difficult  it  is  to  get  starttil 
on  the  air,  but  yet  it  shows,  too,  what  a  I 
original  mind  and  a  lot  of  spunk  and  darir  I 
will  do. 

Tell  me  truthfully,  have  you  the  grit    i  i 

do  what  this  girl  did  for  a  career?

To  young  lovers,  Hawaii  is  a  land  of 
flowers  drenched  in  perfume,  of  steel 
guitars  played  softly  in  rhythm  to 
Tropical  seas,  of  moonlight  and  ro- 
mance. To  the  gay  army  set  at  the  Post 
there,  it  is  a  land  of  fun,  of  long  drives 
through  languorous  country  drowsing 
under  a  hot  sun,  of  bridge  played  on 
verandahs  cooled  by  breezes  from  the 
Pacific. 

But  to  young  Dick  Dorcy  it  was  a  land 
of  work  and  plenty  of  it.  He  had  not 
thought  it  would  be  like  that  when  he 
enlisted.  "Join  the  army  and  see  the 
world"  .  .  .  that  was  what  the  army  posters 
had  said,  but  so  far  there  had  not  been 
so  much  to  see.  At  least,  not  until  the 
general's  daughter  arrived. 

Her  face  was  lovelier  than  any  of  the 
flowers  tangled  together  in  the  leis  swing- 
ing in  pace  to  her  happy  feet,  Dick  couldn't 
help  looking  at  her  as  if  she  were  the  first 
girl  he  had  ever  seen,  couldn't  help  know- 
ing he  was  head  over  heels  in  love  with 
this  beautiful  creature  .  .  .  but  she  was  the 
general's  daughter,  and  he  was  only  a 
private. 

How  Dick  Dorcy  woos  and  finally  wins 
Kit  is  one  of  the  most  exciting  love  stories 
ever  told.  You'll  thrill  to  it  from  beginning 
to  end.

On  this  page  are  submitted  the

has  an  exacting  job  as  a  New  York 
department-store  executive.  She 
says:  "I  started  to  smoke  Camels 


because  I  appreciate  mildness  and 
delicacy  of  flavor.  I  found,  too, 
that  Camels  give  me  a  'lift'  when 
my  energy  is  low — and  Camels 
never  upset  my  nerves." 

Camels  aremilder — amatchless 
blend  of  costlier  tobaccos!  Smoke 
them  all  you  want.  They  never 
jangle  your  nerves.

BRIDGE  EXPERT,  (below) 
"Smoking  Camels  helps  concen- 
tration," says  Shepard  Barclay. 
"  I  prefer  Camels ...  I  can  smoke 
them  steadily  without  jangled 
nerves.  They're  always  mild!" 


TOBACCO  EXPERTS  ALL  KNOW:

More  Expensive  Tobaccos  — 
Turkish  and  Domestic — than

That  grand,  lovable,  human  drama  of 
American  life — "One  Man's  Family" — 
now  sponsors  Kentucky  Winners  —  the 
wonderfully  mild  cigarette  that  CAN'T 
get  stale. 

Already  this  fascinating  program  has 
won  millions  of  listeners.  And  every  day  it 
is  attracting  new  friends  as  the  loves,  ad- 
ventures, sorrows  and  joys  of  the  Barbour 
family  become  of  national  importance. 

"One  Man's  Family"  was  voted  the 
gold  medal  for  distinguished  service  to

Each  individual  cigarette  is  made  with 
moist-proof  paper. This  remarkable  taste- 
less and  odorless  paper  SEALS  IN  the

"dusty"  and  cause  coughing.  The  tobacco 
remains  moist  and  pliant.  Made  of  the 
finest  tobaccos.  They  can't  stick  to  the 
lips  or  cause  ugly  yellow  finger  stains.

and  pull  into  our  parlors  such  a 
treasury  of  wit  or  wisdom  as  the 
world  has  never  known. 

For  much  of  this,  we  can  thank 
the  National  Broadcasting  Com- 
pany. 

Not  to  thank  them  (for  what 
are  the  efforts  of  one  magazine 
compared  to  the  millions  upon 
millions  who  hear  their  broad- 


casts), but  to  record  their  con- 
tribution to  the  richness  of  our 
lives,  we  have  devoted  this  issue 
of  Radio  Stars  Magazine  to  the 
players  and  programs  that  are 
sent  to  us,  as  the  ubiquitous  an- 
nouncer sings  it,  "through  the 
facilities  of  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company." 

It  is  a  thrilling  story,  this  tale 
of  radio  broadcasting.  From 
humble,  stumbling  beginnings,  it 
has  pulled  itself  up,  largely  by 
tugging  at  its  own  bootstraps, 
until  it  has  become,  as  an  article, 
in  this  same  issue  says,  "the 
greatest  university  in  the  world." 
Its  towers  are  the  highest,  its

OVENSeRVE  dishes 


make  a  big  hit  as 
Christmas  gifts 


OVENSERVE  dishes  are  the  gay, 
attractive  TABLE  dishes  you 
can  also  use  for  oven  baking!  You 
can  buy  them  by  the  piece,  or  in 
complete  table  services. 

There  are  meat  platters,  for  in- 
stance, on  which  you  bake  meat 
loaf  or  fish  and  pop  right  from  oven 
to  table.  The  shirred  egg  dishes  are 
another  suggestion.  Look  at  the 
cute  one-handled  French  casseroles, 
too,  or  the  round  baking  dishes, 
bean  pots  and  all  the  other  pieces. 
Every  single  OvenServe  dish  stands 
full  oven  heat,  even  to  the  cups, 
saucers  and  plates. 

Nice  for  the  refrigerator,  also. 
For  they  don't  mind  cold  any  more 
than  they  do  heat. 

Cost  a  lot?  No  indeed!  They're 
economical  gifts,  the  kind  a  woman 


can  use  every  day  of  the  year.  And 
every  time  she  does  she'll  call  down 
blessings  on  your  devoted  head  for 
giving  her  something  that's  so  use- 
ful and  so  attractive. 

MEAT  LOAF  BAKED  ON 
SERVING  PLATTER 

1  pound  round  steak  ground 

2  tbsps.  melted  butter 

1  egg.  slightly  beaten 

2  tbsps.  onion  chopped 

',  4  tsp.  pepper  ...  1  tsp.  salt 

1  cup  bread  crumbs  moistened  with  water 

2  slices  bacon  .  .  .  water 

Combine  all  ingredients  except  bacon  and 
water.  Shape  into  loaf.  Lay  slices  of  bacon 
across  the  top.  Place  on  OvenServe  Meat 
Platter.  Bake  in  a  moderate  oven  (375°  F.) 
about  1 '/«  hours.  Add  a  little  water  at  a 
time  and  baste  occasionally.  Serve  with  well- 
seasoned  hot  tomato  sauce.  (A  can  of  tomato 
soup,  seasoned  and  heated,  makes  a  fine 
sauce.)  Makes  six  servings.

TUNE  IN  ON 
THESE  HOLIDAY 
BEAUTY  IDEAS! 
YOU'LL  FIND  A 
LOT  OF  HINTS 
FOR  A  GLAMOR- 
OUS  NEW  YEAR 


NOW  is  the  time  for  all  good  cos- 
metics to  come  to  the  aid  of  the 
party-goers,  and  the  perplexed 
Christmas  shoppers  as  well.  The 
right  makeup  can  often  make  the 
right  things  happen,  with  or  without  the  help  of  mistletoe. 

The  easiest  and  most  satisfactory  way  to  solve  those 
nagging  little  problems  of  what  to  give  the  feminine  mem- 
bers on  your  Christmas  list  is  to  follow  out  a  regular 
beauty  program ;  for  Sally  of  the  lovely  hands,  a  cunning 
manicure  kit  (we  know  of  two  especially  clever  ones,  a 
"five  minute"  set  in  bakelite  and  a  "club"  set  in  real 
leather)  ;  for  Irene  of  the  not-so-lovely  skin,  a  complete 
kit  for  skin  care  and  makeup  (you'll  be  surprised  how 
complete  for  the  price,  and  individualized  according  to 
eight  different  types  of  beauty,  so  you'll  be  guided  cor- 
rectly in  your  selection  for  her)  ;  for  Peggy,  the  change- 
able, temperamental  redhead,  several  vials  of  perfume  (so 
she  can  have  the  thrill  of  changing  her  perfume  when  she 
changes  her  mood  .  .  .  perfumes  don't  have  to  be  expen- 
sive to  be  alluring)  ;  for  efficient  cousin  Margaret,  an 
office  kit  (use  your  originality  and  your  nickels  and 
dimes  in  making  it  up  for  her)  .  .  .  and  so  on.  I'll  be 
glad  to  send  you  the  gift  list  I've  prepared,  with  names 
and  prices.  If  you're  holding  to  a  budget  of  "around  a 
dollar,"  you'll  want  to  know  about  the  distinctive  new 
powder  and  perfume  gift  box,  the  cover  of  which  pic- 
tures a  life-size  orchid. 

Now  for  the  business  of  turning  wallflowers  into 
orchids,  or  at  least  into  "runners-up"  for  popularity 
honors  at  holiday  parties.  Let's  sit  ourselves  down  in 
front  of  your  dressing-table  mirror  and  take  sort  of  a 
pre-New  Year's  inventory  of  what  your  face  needs  to 
appear  at  its  partying  best  these  days.  Of  course  the

foundation  for  successful  makeup 
is  a  clear,  smooth  skin.  That  isn't 
news  to  you.  If  I  had  some  magic 
Christmas  recipe  to  send  to  you  at 
the  turn  of  the  dial  that  would  give 
you  a  lovely  skin  overnight,  that  would  be  news.  You 
know,  however,  that  you  prepare  your  skin  for  its  attrac- 
tive appearance  each  day  by  the  attention  you  have  given 
it  during  preceding  weeks.  The  nightly  cleansing  of  your 
skin  is  one  of  your  most  important  beauty  rites.  We 
can't  broadcast  that  too  often.  Don't  slide  into  bed  with- 
out removing  your  makeup,  even  if  the  party  did  last 
until  the  wee  hours ;  it's  so  easy  to  make  yourself  a 
smooth  little  promise  that  "Tomorrow  I'll  make  up  for 
it."  We  can  just  as  easily  promise  you  that  you  probably 
won't.  A  good  pure  soap  and  an  effective  cleansing 
cream  are  two  of  the  most  important  beauty  allies  you 
can  enlist  for  1935  and  their  faithful  use  will  help  you 
to  face  the  makeup  mirror  with  good  cheer.

ET'S  suppose  that  we're  all  set  for  the  business  of 
applying  our  evening  makeup.  It's  Christmas  eve, 
or  New  Year's  eve  ...  or  any  other  party  eve !  All 
evening  makeups,  and  the  all-day  makeups  of  business 
women,  should  be  applied  over  a  foundation  cream  for 
a  smoother  and  more  lasting  finish.  The  false  notion  to 
which  a  few  people  still  cling — that  a  foundation  cream 
clogs  the  pores — should  be  banished  with  the  Old  Year. 
Did  you  know  that  actresses  apply  cold  cream  under  their 
grease  paint  to  prevent  clogging  the  pores?  You  should 
use  either  a  vanishing  cream  or  a  cleansing  cream ;  the 
latter  should  be  thoroughly  removed  with  tissues,  leaving 
only  a  slight  moisture  on  the  skin  to  which  the  powder 
can  adhere.  If  your  skin  is  oily,  (Continued  on  page  87)

STRONG,  powerful  "dynamite" 
laxatives  are  bad  for  anyone.  But 
for  you  women . . .  they're  unthinkable ! 

Your  delicate  feminine  system  was 
never  meant  to  endure  the  shock  of 
harsh,  violent  purgatives  or  cathartics. 
They  weaken  you.  They  often  leave 
bad  after-effects.  Madam,  you  must 
avoid  them! 

Ex-Lax  is  the  ideal  laxative  for  every 
member  of  the  family,  but  it  is  particu- 
larly good  for  women.  That's  because 
while  Ex-Lax  is  thorough,  it  works  in  a 
mild  and  gentle  way.  Why,  you  hardly 
know  you've  taken  a  laxative. 

And  Ex-Lax  checks  on  the  other 
important  points,  too:  It  won't  cause 


pain.  It  won't  upset  digestion.  It  won't 
nauseate  you.  It  won't  leave  you  weak. 
And  what's  very  important  — it  won't 
form  a  habit.  You  don't  have  to  keep 
on  increasing  the  dose  to  get  results. 

And  Ex-Lax  is  so  easy  to  take.  It 
tastes  just  like  delicious  chocolate. 

All  the  good  points  of  Ex-Lax  are 
just  as  important  for  the  rest  of  the 
family  as  they  are  for  women.  So  mil- 
lions of  homes  have  adopted  Ex-Lax  as 
the  family  laxative. 

Keep  a  box  of  Ex-Lax  in  the  medi- 
cine cabinet  — so  that  it  will  be  there 
when  any  member  of  the  family  needs 
it.  All  druggists  sell  Ex-Lax  — in  10c 
and  25c  boxes.

That's  not  a  ball  player  on  the  left,  folks,  it's  Joe  Penner  who  went 
to  the  World  Series  to  sell  Dizzy  Dean  (right)  a  duck. 


The  place :  Uncle  Answer  Man's 
Okie  Curiosity  Shoppe. 

The  time :  Half -past  what  it  was 
thirty  minutes  ago. 

The  O.  C.  Shoppe  is  filled  with 
gee-gaws,  knick-knacks,  Uncle  A. 
Mi's  lank  frame,  and  worn  leather 
tomes  full  of  information  on  who's 
who  in  the  radio  world.  So  let's  do 
it  as  would  a  radio  script  writer.  .  .  . 

Biz:  (That  means  business.  The 
business  of  what  happens  around 
the  joint.)  Doorbell  jangles.  Door 
opens  and  closes. 

You :  Good  morning,  Uncle  An- 
swer man. 

Me :  Good  morning.  What  can  I 
do  for  you? 

You :  I  am  a  curious  person. 

Me :  You  look  all  right  to  me. 

You :  That's  not  what  I  mean, 
silly.  I  want  to  know  about  some 
radio  stars. 

Me :  Oh,  I  see.  Well,  you  know  I 
get  so  many  of  these  calls  a  day  that 


I  have  one  rule.  .  .  . 

You:  One  rule:  I've  seen  hun- 
dreds. "The  questions  asked  the 
most  number  of  times  are  the  ones 
that'll  be  answered."  "Two  questions 
for  a  person  at  a  time  are  all  that 
can  be  handled."  "Ask  only  about 
network  stars."  "Sorry  you  can't  te 
me  about  getting  artists'  photograplr 
or  addresses !"  I  know  all  about  i 

Me:  All  right.  How  about  a  bi 
spree?  You  ask  all  the  questions  yo~ 
think  most  of  the  readers  are  inter 
ested  in. 

You :  Thanks.  Now  tell  me,  are 
those  real  birds  on  the  Cheerio  pro: 
gram  ? 

Me :  Used  to  be.  They  were  two 
canaries  named  Dickie  and  Blue  Boy. 
But  now,  alas,  they're  just  sound  ef- 
fect records. 

"You :  Are  Muriel  Wilson  and 
Lois  Wilson  of  the  movies,  related? 

Me:  Nope. 

You :  Are  Leon  Belasco  and  Emil 


RADIO  STARS 

BOYS  AND  GIRLS,  YOUR  UNKIE'S  GONE  BROADCAST-MAD 


Velasco  related? 

Me:  Naw.  The  fact  of  the  matter 
is  that  Leon's  real  last  name  is  Ber- 
ladsky.  The  name  Belasco  was  con- 
ceived back  in  the  days  his  orches- 
tra played  for  Morton  Downey  at 
Delmonico's. 

You:  Is  Eno  Crime  Club  off  the 
air? 

Me :  Eno  Crime  Club  is.  They  call 
it  Eno  Crime  Clues  now.  It  is  on  the 
WJZ-XBC  network  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday  nights  from  8 :00  to  8 :30 
EST. 

You :  Who  directs  the  "First 
Xighter"  programs? 

Me :  Charles  P.  Hughes,  who  also 
writes  and  plays  in  the  dramas. 

You  :  Is  he  married  ?" 

Me:  Yes. 

You :  How  long  have  the  Sinclair 
Minstrels  been  on  the  air? 

Me:  Since  March,  1928.  They 
celebrated  their  300th  performance 
October  22nd. 

You :  Who  is  Rush  on  the  "Vic 
and  Sade"  program? 

Me :  Oh,  let's  shoot  the  works. 
Art  Van  Harvey,  Bernadine  Flynn 
and  Billy  Idleson  are  respectively 
i  Vic.  Sade  and  Rush  in  the  XBC 
family  sketch. 


You :  Oh  yes,  I  remember  now. 
Tell  me.  is  Lanny  Ross  engaged  to 
marry  ? 

Me:  Xo. 

You :  Is  Rosaline  Green  Captain 
Henry's  niece? 

Me :  Xot  really  and  truly. 
You:  Tch!  fch !   What  a  pity. 
Phillips  Lord  is  married,  isn't  he? 

Me:  Yes.  His  wife's  name  is 
Sophia.  They  were  married  by  Phil's 
father,  who  is  a  minister. 

You :  What  ever  became  of  Phil- 
lips Carlin  who  used  to  announce 
XBC  programs? 

Me :  He's  Eastern  Program  Man- 
ager of  the  Xational  Broadcasting 
Company  now. 

You :  Does  Lanny  Ross  speak  for 
on  every  XBC  program? 
He    speaks     for  himself, 
ma'am. 

You :  Who  plays  Tim  and  AH  on 
Frank  Buck's  programs? 

Me:  Tim  is  played  by  Bill  Barr 
and  AH  by  Aristede  de  Leoni. 

You :  How  about  some  informa- 
tion on  Roy  Heatherton? 

Me:  Gladly.  Gladly.  He  is  a 
twenty-five-year-old  bachelor.  He  pre 
fers  to  do  his  practicing  before  break- 
fast  (maybe  in  the  bathtub).  His

and  tennis.  He  is  five  feet  seven 
inches  tall,  weighs  137  pounds,  is  of 
light  complexion  and  has  brown  hair. 
He  dislikes  long-haired  musicians, 
professional  children  and  efficient

anecdote,  he  replied,  "White  of  eggs 
and  mustard."  (Poisonous  pun,  say

Man  popularity  contest  winners  in 
the  Xovember  issue  and  you  didn't. 

Me :  Oop !  Sorry.  I  meant  in  the 
one  coming  out  Xovember  first. 

You :  That's  a  terrible  excuse.  How 
about  your  saving  Kate  Smith's  birth- 
day was  May  5,  1908.  It's  May  1, 
1909. 

Me :  Right  you  are.  Please  don't  be 
mad.  though. 

You:  Well.  I  am,  and  I'm  going. 

Me :  Well  don't  slam  the  door. 

Business  of  door  being  slammed.

NOTES  FROM  OUR 
MEMO  PAD 


Probably  you  remember  in  the 
October  issue  of  Radio  Stars,  in 
which  we  told  the  exciting  story 
mentioning  Madame  Sylvia,  Holly- 
wood's dynamic  beauty  expert.  One 
of  our  anecdotes  related  the  suit  filed 
by  Ginger  Rogers  as  a  result  of  one 
of  Madame  Sylvia's  broadcasts. 

Metropolitan  newspapers  carried 
the  story  and  we  were  complacent  in 
our  opinion  tbat  here  was  a  bit  of 
news  in  which  admirers  of  Madame 
Sylvia  would  be  interested. 

Now  comes  the  following  letter 
from  Madame  Sylvia  that  explodes 
the  firecracker  beneath  us  and  leaves 
us  wondering  who  was  kidding  who : 

"Upon  my  return  from  Hollywood 
recently,  it  was  called  to  my  attention 
that  Radio  Stars  Magazine  stated  in 
an  article.  'I'll  Be  Suing  You,'  pub- 
lished in  the  October  issue,  that  Miss 
Ginger  Rogers  had  filed  a  libel  suit 
against  me  for  impersonating  her  on 
one  of  my  radio  programs.  Tbat 
statement  is  untrue. 

"After  a  thorough  investigation  by 
the  lawyers  of  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company,  both  here  and  on 
the  Coast,  no  such  suit  has  been  found 
filed,  and  as  far  as  I  am  concerned 
I  know   nothing  whatsoever  about 


such  a  suit.  I  have  been  served  with 
no  papers,  nor  have  I  been  notified 
of  any  such  action. 

"Further  I  wish  to  state  that  there 
would  have  been  no  grounds  for  such 
action,  since  every  star's  name  which 
is  used  in  my  broadcasts  is  released 
to  the  National  Broadcasting  Com- 
pany and  to  me  by  the  motion  pic- 
ture company  which  employs  said 
stars. 

Miss  Ginger  Rogers'  name  was 
released  by  R.  K.  O.  Studios  to 
the  National  Broadcasting  Company 
and  to  me  August  31,  1933.  You  are 
at  liberty  at  any  time  to  see  this 
release. 

"I  have  never,  either  on  the  air 
or  personally,  had  any  conversation 
with  tbe  above  mentioned  Miss 
Rogers  in  regard  to  my  sponsor's 
product.  Nor  have  I  ever  given  tbe 
impression  of  having  had  such  a 
conversatio  1  with  ber,  as  it  is  definite- 
ly stated  on  all  my  programs  wherein 
I  use  actresses'  names,  tbat  all  char- 
acters, with  the  exception  of  myself, 
are  impersonated,  which  in  this  case 
is  in  accordance  with  the  release  from 
R.  K.  O.  Studios,  granting  me  per- 
mission to  use  said  Miss  Ginger 
Rogers'  name." 


FOR  SEVEN  YEARS  JOHN  CHARLES  THOMAS  HAS  BEEN  BREAKING 


EACH  TIME  John  Charles  Thomas  has  sung  over  the 
radio  he  has  defied  Congress,  the  Federal  Radio  Com- 
mission, the  Department  of  Justice  and  the  local  police. 
And  he  will  continue  to  commit  the  same  crime  as  long 
as  Miss  Microphone  will  accept  his  attentions  and  people 
will  li>ten. 

His  crime  hoils  up  into  one  word — mother.  Stay  right 
where  you  are.  We  are  not  going  to  be  sentimental. 
This  is  a  matter  of  fact  story.  And  it's  the  truth's  truth, 
s'elp  me.  Every  time  this  singer  signs  off  with  "Good- 
night, mother."  his  now  famous  signature,  he  breaks  a 
law  of  the  land  which  states  that  the  broadcasting  facilities 
of  the  land  shall  not  be  used  for  the  delivery  of  personal 
messages. 

There's  a  story  of  a  great  friendship  in  this  signature 
and  this  I.  shall  tell  you  presently.  But  before  doing  so, 
let  me  whisper  the  real  reason  the  authorities  do  nothing 
about  John  Charles  Thomas'  terrible  crime.  They  are 
afraid  of  a  million  women,  all  mothers.  Touch  one  hair 
of  this  man's  head,  make  one  militant  move  in  his  di- 
rection and  they'll  start  marching  on  Washington  armed 


(Below,  left)  As  you  see, 
John  Charles  Thomas  al- 
ways looks  at  home. 
(Right)  The  big  reason 
J.C.T.  is  such  a  success — 
Mrs.  Milson  Thomas,  his 
mother — and  the  reason 
Johnny's  a  "lawbreaker." 


with  crib  slats,  baby  bunting,  rattle  handles,  rolling  pin?, 
roller  skates  and  ballot  boxes! 

Verily,  they  will  smash  everything  that  menaces  him. 
Because  they  love  a  man  who  each  night  adds  to  songs, 
which  only  an  angel  could  sing,  a  thought  of  his  mother. 
In  a  sense  his  daring  and  his  law  defiance,  have  made  him 
their  son  and  in  a  sense  America's  soii. 

One  night  he  omitted  the  signature  and  gosh  all  hickory, 
was  there  hello  and  halleluiah  to  pay !    You  see,  it  traced 
back  to  the  fact  that  John  Charles  Thomas  has  a  theory] 
that  there  are  two  kinds  of  singing:  one  directly  to  an 
audience;  the  other  to  radio  listeners.    And  so,  when  he 
is  on  the  air,  he  bars  all  visitors  from  the  studio.    But  one; 
particular  night  a  crowd  of  people  tiptoed  into  the  studic 
and  they  listened  without  saying  boo.    So  quiet  were  they 
he  forgot  they  were  there.    But  when  his  last  number 
was  sung,  they  could  control  themselves  no  longer  and] 
exploded  in  applause.    The  explosion  so  startled  Thoma' 
he  forgot  to  say  "Goodnight,  mother" — for  the  first  time 
in  seven  years !  Once  was  enough  to  upset  that  unseer  j 
audience  waiting  at  home  for  his  special  sign-off. 


John  Charles  Thomas  is  on  the  following  NBC  stations  each  Wednesday  at  9:30  p.m.  E.S.T:

By  Paul  Meyer 


ME  LAW,  YET  NO  AUTHORITY  DARES  DO  ANYTHING  ABOUT  IT! 


'HAT  evening  the  telephone  started  to  ring.  Why,  why 
Irhy — the  listeners  wanted  to  know — had  he  forgotten? 
L  he  next  day  came  telegrams,  letters  by  special  messenger, 
pecial  delivery,  air  mail.  Mothers,  grandmothers,  daugh- 
srs  wanted  to  know  what  was  the  trouble.  All  of  them 
vere  ready  to  scold,  fight,  or  make  peace.  Two  days  later, 
ihe  telephones  were  still  ringing,  the  letter  carriers  curs- 
ng,  and  porters,  bearing  floral  bouquets,  began  to  arrive 
—gifts  from  listeners  who  had  decided  there  was  only 
>ne  reason  the  signature  was  omitted  and  that  was  Mr. 
Thomas'  mother  had  died. 

Well,  that  will  give  you  a  slight  idea  of  what  "Good- 
light,  mother"  means  to  radio  listeners ;  to  you,  for  ex- 
miple.  Also  what  it  will  mean  to  any  law  enforcement 
ifficer  who  attempts  to  give  J.  C.  T.  a  ticket. 

Mother  in  the  case  of  John  Charles  Thomas  is  a  twinkl- 
ing little  lady,  just  beyond  fifty  and  is  not  a  itty-bitty 
sentimental.  She  lives  in  a  charming  cottage  in  Towson, 
Maryland,  has  a  large  flower  garden,  a  vegetable  garden, 
i  cat  and  a  canary.  This  is  a  story  about  a  mother,  so  we 
von't  mention  that  staunch  idealist,  the  singer's  father, 


the  Reverend  Milson  Thomas,  whom  some  of  you  know. 

I  tell  you  about  the  house  because  it  was  a  gift  from 
her  son,  who,  by  the  way,  is  her  only  son.  She  was  the 
wife  of  a  Methodist  circuit  rider,  which  is  to  say  a 
preacher  who  changed  his  parish  every  year  or  two. 
The  house,  you  see,  is  important  because  it  is  the  first 
permanent  home  she  ever  had.  "Home,  home  .  .  ."  the 
way  he  sings  it,  takes  on  real  importance  now,  doesn't  it? 

In  the  house  is  a  radio  set,  the  big  kind  that  stands  on 
four  legs,  and  it's  over  this  that  she  hears  the  voice  of 
her  son.  She  doesn't  have  to  read  the  newspapers  to  know 
when  and  where  he  is  going  to  sing.  He  lets  her  know, 
by  mail  and  telegraph. 

If  you  ask  him,  how  he  happened  to  say  "Goodnight, 
mother"  that  first  time  seven  years  ago,  he  will  reply 
that  "It  just  happened.  A  happy  thought."  And  let  it  go 
at  that. 

Hundreds  of  other  loving  sons  have  sung  into  the 
microphone  before  and  since,  but  none  ever  had  this 
"happy  thought."  He  was  thinking  of  her  that  night  and 
suddenly  it  was  as  if  she  were  (Continued  on  page  85)

HE  RODE  TO  GLORY 


THIS  IS  the  story  of  the  most  famous  rodent  in  the 
world. 

One  that  jumps,  dances,  sings,  speaks  French,  Spanish, 
German  and  Italian.  And  of  course  his  own  native  tongue, 
English.  From  Hollywood  to  Timhuctoo  his  presence  is  an 
every  day  occurrence.  At  breakfast  the  cereal  is  shaken 
out  of  a  box  over  which  he  trips  the  light  fantastic.  His 
arms  click  around  clocks  and  watches  to  remind  you  that 
time  flies.   The  kids  wear  his  clothes  and  play  with  him  all 


day  long.  He's  a  doll,  a  kiddie  car,  a  jumping  jack  an 
even  a  balloon.  Broadway  shops  and  trading  posts  i 
Africa  sell  over  600  products  that  sponsor  the  littl 
creature. 

Who  is  this  remarkable  personage  whom  children  kno\ 
better  than  Santa  Claus?  Whom  kings  and  queens  an<

DN  A  MOUSE 


reat  Britain's  "Who's  Who  of  the  World"  while  Hitler 
dn't  even  get  a  mention. 

Well,  here's  a  clue.  The  Art  Workers  Guild  of  Lon- 
>n,  rilled  with  such  Royal  Academicians  as  Bernard 
haw,  has  made  him  an  honorary  member.   The  Queen 
Italy  formally  requested  that  he  be  on  hand  for  the 
rival  of  the  royal  heir  to  the  throne.    Can  you  guess 
j  ho  he  is  yet  ? 

You  and  I  know  him  as  Mickey  Mouse. 
But.  you  ask.  how  does  it  happen  that  a  mouse,  the  mild- 
t  and  meekest  of  all  tiny  creatures,  should  receive  all 
;is  glory  and  honor? 

It's  as  simple  as  this.    A  certain  man  wanted  to  earn  a 
ring.    This  man  was  the  kind 
ho  had  to  do  a  job  well  if  he 
Id  it  at  all.    His  name  was 
.'alt  Disney. 

Now,  you  and  I  both  know 
iat  Walt  Disney  is  not  a  radio 
ar.  Xor  indeed  is  Mickey 
louse.  Vet  so  tremendous 
ive  their  reputations  become, 
id  their  appeal  so  irresistible, 
iat  the  radio  has  reached  into 
leir  Hollywood  studio  and 
.Tsuaded  them  to  lend  us  their 
lents  briefly  on  the  night  of 
ecember  23rd.  Lehn  and 
ink's  Sunday  night  program 
illed  the  "Hall  of  Fame"  will 
•esent  Walt  Disney,  creator 
id  confidante  of  Mickey  the 
louse.  Don't  miss  this  event. 

This  story  of  the  world's  most  famous  mouse  is  really 
||.e  story  of  one  who  is  very  nearly  the  world's  most 
odest  man.    It  begins  on  that  day  when,  at  the  age  of 
ne,  Walt  Disney  was  out  hustling  to  help  pay  the  family 
ocery  bill.    To  do  his  job  well,  he  had  to  get  up,  snow, 
j  .in  or  shine,  at  3  a.  m.,  to  get  his  papers  delivered  to 
ansas  City  residents  before  the  school  bell  rang.  Mickey 
louse  might  never  have  seen  the  light  had  not  his 
grandparents"  packed  Walt  up  and  moved  to  Chicago, 
nd  dumped  him  into  an  art  school. 
Even  then,  the  call  of  wanderlust  was  much  more  ap- 
■aling  than  a  mouse's  squeak  and  Walt  hopped  a  train 
become  a  newsbutcher — selling  peanuts,  candy,  maga- 
nes  and  roast  beef  sandwiches. 

When  the  United  States  declared  war  on  Germany  in 
>17.  Mickey  Mouse's  future  creator  was  carrying  mail 
>r  Uncle  Sam.  Naturally,  Walt  enlisted,  and  though  he 
?d  mightily  about  his  age,  he  was  turned  down  because 
:  was  too  young.    Nevertheless  he  persisted  in  his  deter- 

ination  to  see  and  learn  more  of  life.    He  discovered 

at  fellows  too  young  to  fight  could  go  to  war  as  ambu- 
nce  drivers.  Within  two  weeks  he  was  wearing  a  Red 
ross  on  his  arm  and  driving  a  Ford  in  France. 

From  one  end  of  the  battlefield  to  the  other,  there  was 
:  iver  an  ambulance  like  Walt  Disney's.    It  became  the 

mvre  of  Alsace-Lorraine.    Or,  perhaps  we  should  say.

decorated  with  the  silliest  cartoons  of  Europe.  Those 
cartoons  did  a  lot  to  convince  the  French  that  Americans 
were  crazy. 

Now  here's  an  amusing  thing.  Mice  and  rats  were 
among  the  constant  companions  of  the  American  soldiers 
of  France.  Most  of  the  doughboys  chased  and  killed 
them,  but  Walt  built  himself  a  cage  and  collected  himself 
a  baker's  dozen  of  the  oddest  pets  out  of  Paris.  Gray 
mice,  black  mice,  spotted  mice — they  were  all  in  Walt's 
dizzy  zoo.  He  has  never  admitted  it.  but  I  suspect  that 
many  of  the  Mickey  Mouse's  future  adventures  were 
recorded  in  his  mind  during  dull  evenings  in  France  when 
he  watched  the  antics  of  his  pets. 

At  the  end  of  the  war, 
hundreds  of  veterans  were 
hunting  jobs,  and  Walt  was  one 
of  them.  What  should  he  do? 
Well,  what  would  you  do  if  you 
were  a  young  man  with  a  talent 
for  doing  funny  things  on  paper 
with  charcoal?  With  an  insatia- 
ble hunger  for  experience  in 
life? 

Before  he  did  anything  else 
Walt  took  stock  of  himself: 

1.  He   could   draw  cartoons. 

2.  He  could  do  imitations  of 
Charlie  Chaplin.  3.  He  could 
eat  three  square  meals  a  day, 
and  that  was  about  all. 

A  want  ad  seeking  a  farm 
journal  cartoonist  drew  a  letter 
from  him  into  which  he  packed 
all  his  hopes  and  dreams.  That  letter  has  been  lost,  but 
Walt  will  never  forget  it.  For  it  got  him  the  job  that  was  to 
become  the  first  rung  in  the  ladder  leading  to  success. 

Of  course  it  wasn't  much  of  a  job.  All  day  long  he 
perched  on  a  high  stool  drawing — not  mice,  but  happy 
farmers  regarding  wild-eyed  hens  who  had  accomplished 
stupendous  results  as  a  result  of  being  fed  a  certain 
marvelous  mash.  In  his  expert  hands  dejected  cows  who 
happened  to  sample  a  certain  salt  block  became  positively 
ecstatic.  He  might  have  accomplished  even  greater 
miracles  with  other  barnyard  beasts  had  not  some  imp  of 
remembrance  made  him  embellish  his  commercial  sketches 
with  impudent  cartoons  of  a  carefree  mouse. 

That,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  was  the  official  birth  of  the 
world's  No.  1  Entertainer. 

Fame  first  crept  close  to  Mickey  when  Walt  joined  a 
company  to  do  animated  cartoons.  That  was  his  real  start 
in  the  animated  cartoon  business.  Soon  he  was  on  his 
own.  Caricaturing  local  Kansas  City  incidents  and  throw- 
ing them  on  the  screens  of  three  theatres.  A  few  months 
later  he  was  producing  modernized  fairy  tales  taking  pic- 
tures with  a  second  hand  camera  that  he  had  repaired  and 
using  his  garage  as  a  studio. 

Strangely  enough  not  one  of  these  cartoons  was  of 
Mickey  Mouse.  Even  when  his  animated  version  of 
Little  Red  Riding  Hood  threw  his  company  into  bank- 
ruptcy, it  never  occurred  to  him  (  Continued  on  page  S3)

Dorothy  Page  is  the  most  beautiful  woman  in  Radio. 

No  doubt  about  it.  It  isn't  one  man's  opinion.  She 
was  elected  by  the  ballots  of  the  most  distinguished 
group  of  radio  editors  in  the  world,  the  members  of 
RADIO  STARS*  Board  of  Review. 

Not  all  of  them  picked  her  for  regal  honors,  by  any 
means.  Some  leaned  toward  the  Lane  Sisters  who  sing 
with  Fred  Waring.  But  Dorothy  Page,  songbird  on 
those  Monday  night  Northwestern  Yeast  programs  with 
Jan  Garber's  orchestra,  was  awarded  more  first  places 


than  any  other.  By  the  same  process  that  gives  four  and 
five  star  ratings  to  the  air's  fine  programs,  she  was  voted 
Queen. 

The  most  beautiful  woman  in  radio  is  in  her  middle 
twenties.  She  has  been  singing  publicly  since  she  won  a 
Paul  Whiteman  audition  in  Buffalo,  New  York,  in  1932. 
But  even  before  that,  most  of  America  had  seen  and 
appreciated  her  beauty.  Philadelphia  artists  were  the 
first  to  discover  and  paint  it.  Those  paintings  have  been 
printed  on  millions  of  magazine  (Continued  on  page  71)

THERE  is  no  censorship  of  radio  broad- 
casting!" 
That's  what  executives  of  both  the 
CBS  and  NBC  networks  say. 
But  no  less  a  personage  than  Senator  Borah 
claimed  that  a  talk  of  his  was  cut  off  in  the 
middle  of  a  broadcast  because  he  said  something 
to  which  the  station  operators  objected.  The  cut- 
off was  explained  by  station  officials  as  being  due 
to  mechanical  difficulties  necessitating  a  tempor- 
ary shutdown.  But  still  some  people  who  read 
of  the  incident  in  the  newspapers  wonder  just 
what  the  facts  of  the  case  were. 
What  do  you  think? 

To  find  out  what  sort  of  material,  if  any,  is 
"too  hot"  to  broadcast  I  interviewed  employees 
of  the  two  chains,  heads  of  independent  stations 
and  the  program  director  of  New  York's  so- 
called  "radical"  station,  advertising  agency 
executives,  broadcasters,  and  even  a  representa- 
tive of  the  Federal  Communications  Commission 
itself.  Nearly  everywhere  I  went,  I  got  a  differ- 
ent story,  and  many  of  the  people  I  spoke  to 
were  afraid  to  talk.  Most  that  were  willing  to 
give  information  did  so  with  the  strict  proviso 
that  their  names  be  omitted. 

But  what  did  they  have  to  say? 

Well,  I  went  up  to  a  man  seated  at  a  desk  in 
the  outer  office  of  the  Commission,  in  the  Fed- 
eral Building  on  Washington  Street,  New  York, 


TOO  HOT  TO 


and  said,  "I  want  to  find  out  what  sort  of  material  can 
iittf  be  broadcast.  Will  you  tell  me?"' 

He  answered.  "Why.  there's  no  censorship  whatever. 
You  can  broadcast  anything." 

So  I  said.  "Suppose  I  wanted  to  give  readings  from 
the  unexpurgated  version  of  'Ladv  Chatterk's  1-over'  or 
'Fanny  Hill.'  Could  I  do  it?" 

"Oh,  no."  he  answered  in  somewhat  shocked  tones. 
ubut  nobody 'd  want  to  do  that." 

"Well,  what  if  I  wanted  to  sell  sweepstakes  tickets  or 
dope?  Would  that  be  allowed?" 

"Of  course  not —  I  think  you'd  better  go  into  the  office 
and  talk  to  the  Supervisor." 

The  Supervisor  paused  in  his  work  of  giving  some 
aspirant  radio  operators  their  test  and  dug  out  his  copy 
of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  which  repeals  and 
replaces  the  Radio  Act  of  1927.  It  is  a  document  which 
is  a  trifle  self-contradictory  in  spots. 


For  instance,  in  Section  315  it  says  that  if  a  station 
permits  a  candidate  for  office  of  one  political  party  to 
speak  without  charge  for  time,  it  must  offer  the  same 
privilege  to  representatives  of  opposing  parties,  and  that 
the  station  may  not  censor  such  talks. 

However,  in  Section  32o  it  says  that  no  person  shall 
broadcast  "any  obscene,  indecent  or  profane  language. " 
and  mentions  as  the  penalty  for  violation  $10,000  fine,  or 
two  years  imprisonment  or  lx>th". 

What  would  a  station  do  if  a  candidate  for  office  wished 
to  call  his  opponent  a  damned  fool  ?  Toss  a  coin  for  it, 
no  doubt. 

Xor  is  that  the  only  prohibition.  Section  316  Forbids 
any  advertising  of,  or  information  relative  to  "lotteries, 
gift  enterprises  or  similar  schemes  offering  prizes  de- 
pendent in  whole  or  part  ujK>n  luck  or  chance,  or  any  list 
of  such  prizes."  The  operators  of  a  station  violating 
this  section  may  be  fined   {Continued  on  paye  76)

SINCE  you  bought  your  last  Spring  bonnet,  Ozzie 
Nelson,  that  baton  waver  for  the  Joe  Penner  broad- 
casts, has  probably  come  in  contact  with  girls  of 
more  varied  classes  and  types,  than  any  young 
band  leader  before  the  microphone.  The  past  summer 
he's  seen  them  at  play  in  their  own  home  towns,  enter- 
tained them,  talked  with  them — and  drawn  some  very 
definite  and  enlightening  conclusions  concerning  young 
Miss  America. 

Would  you  like  to  know  what  they  are?  Well,  if  you 
think  you  can  take  it  when  the  finger  points  your  way, 
read  on.  It  was  only  with  considerable  pleading,  conniving 
and  questioning,  Ozzie  reluctantly  consented  to  set  down 
his  observations,  provided  you'd  receive  them  in  the  spirit 
of  a  good  old  Truth  Meeting,  where  everybody  tells  every- 
body else  exactly  what  they  think  and  there  aren't  any 
hard  feelings. 

Be  it  known  here  and  now,  girls,  that  he's  still  raving 
about  the  charm  and  beauty  of  all  of  you  whom  he's 
seen.  You  were  hospitable  and  grand  and  appreciative, 
with  only  a  few  minor  reservations  that  might  be  made 
to  start  off  like  this: 

//  /  were  a  girl  I  wouldn't  indulge  in  sensational  danc- 
ing. You  know  the  type.  At  nearly  every  hop  there's 
usually  the  blonde  in  the  low-cut,  red  beaded  dress  who 
insists  upon  doing  a  Yazoo-Shakedown  right  up  in  front 
of  the  orchestra.  Hotcha.  Suggestive.  Showoffish.  The 
life  of  the  party  girl. 

Ask  any  musician  in  anybody's  band  what  he  thinks 
of  such  a  display  and  he'll  tell  you.  Next  to  nothing, 


frankly.  He'll  also  be  willing  to  wager  that  the  gal's 
poor  escort  slinks  outside  for  a  smoke  until  the  dust 
settles  again  under  the  lovely  lady's  rhinestone  heels. 
It's  only  in  the  other  fellow's  girl  that  men  like  sensa- 
tionalism, Ozzie  believes,  and  even  then  they  can't  stand 
a  steady  diet  of  it. 

She's  a  much  smarter  person  who  dances  gracefully 
and  tastefully  and  let's  the  same  two  attributes  run  over 
into  every  phase  of  her  life.  For  any  exhibition  on  a 
girl's  part,  from  a  Lindy  Hop  all  the  way  down  to  a  small 
breach  of  etiquette,  throws  a  man  into  a  glaring  limelight 
of  embarrassment  which  he  very  naturally  resents.  And 
plenty  of  men  are  enduring  that  limelight  according  to  a 
young  bandmaster,  who  ought  to  know  after  some  150 
recent  dance  bookings  throughout  the  eastern  part  of  the 
country  from  north  to  south. 

Sli  ng  your  happy  little  feet  as  much  as  you  like.  But 
be  artful  about  it,  not  vulgar.    That's  a  tip  from  Ozzie

Nelson,  who  believes  he's  right  when  he  asserts  that  men. 
loathe  as  they  may  be  to  admit  it,  do  really  admire  and 
demand  propriety  on  a  dance  floor. 

//  /  were  a  girl  I  wouldn't  make  a  public  display  of 
etnotion.  Ozzie  had  grounds  and  then  some  for  making 
that  statement.  For,  as  you  probably  know,  he  and  Rudy 
Vallee  just  about  hold  the  record  for  having  had  strange 
feminine  fans  suddenly  drape  themselves  around  them 
in  a  public  embrace.  And  if  you  think  celebrities  like 
strange  clinging  vines  just  watch  one's  reaction  sometime. 

THE  particular  incident  which  so  completely  chagrined 
'  Ozzie  occurred  in  one  of  the  southern  states.  A  fair 
young  damsel  walked  up  to  the  bandmaster,  grinned, 
pahdoned  huh  Suthun  accint.  and  asked  him  to  lean  down 
for  a  moment  so  she  could  whisper  in  his  ear.  Unsuspect-

ing  as  you  please,  Ozzie  leaned — and  the  gal  got  a  death 
clinch  around  his  shoulders  that  was  unbreakable  for  about 
five  minutes.  It  didn't  take  a  split  second  for  the  "Look  !" 
news  to  spread  over  the  whole  floor,  for  all  the  dancers 
to  stop  and  stare  and  for  Ozzie's  face  to  make  the  com- 
mon garden  variety  of  tomato  look  positively  anemic. 

"I  was  terribly  sorry  and  upset  about  the  whole  affair," 
he  stated  seriously.  "Naturally,  for  the  rest  of  the  eve- 
ning I  was  totally  miserable.  You  see,  I  knew  the  gesture 
was  made  not  because  I  was  me.  not  for  myself  alone 
and  the  qualities  I'd  want  a  woman  to  admire,  but  just 
because  I  happened  to  be  an  orchestra  leader,  if  that's  an 
excuse.  The  incident  did  neither  myself  nor  the  young 
lady  any  good.    I  am  sincerely  sorry  it  happened."

THIS   IS   RADIO'S   ZERO  HOUR 

We  listeners  cue  the  soldiers  of  broadcasting. 
Whether  you  know  it  or  not,  we've  got  a  war  on  our  hands. 

Radio  broadcasting  as  we  know  and  love  it  is  threatened.  By  whom  and  by  what?  Roughly, 
it  can  be  said  thus:  various  groups  oi  so-called  "educators"  wish  to  secure  for  themselves  the  dictator- 
ship of  certain  phases  of  broadcasting. 

For  example,  they  wish  to  make  broadcasting  more  "educational."  When  we  who  work  by  day 
come  home  at  night  they  wish  to  "entertain"  us  with  lecturing  college  professors.  Like  Hitler  and 
Goebbels  who  give  their  German  listeners  exactly  what  Hitler  thinks  is  good  for  them,  they  seek  to 
give  us,  not  what  we  need  to  help  us  forget  the  day's  battles  and  perplexities,  but  what  they  think 
is  good  for  us.  We  listeners,  they  say.  will  be  much  better  off  listening  to  lectures  than  to  Captain 
Henry's  Show  Boat,  Jack  Benny,  Fred  Waring,  and  Lowell  Thomas. 

Already,  Congress  has  ordered  the  Federal  Radio  Commission  to  get  the  facts.  Even  now,  the 
invaders  are  whining  their  complaints  through  the  halls  of  Congress. 

This  is  the  attack  we  soldiers  of  broadcasting  must  beat  back.  The  way  is  not  easy.  Unorgan- 
ized, we  can  only  write  letters,  but  we  can  write  a  great  many  of  them.  We  can  ask  our  friends  to 
write  them  and  we  can  see  that  the  members  of  the  Federal  Communication  Commission  know  truly 
how  the  listeners  of  radio  feel  about  radio  broadcasting. 

We  will  be  the  first  to  suffer  if  the  structure  of  broadcasting  changes.  Let  us  not  be  the  last  to 
testify  in  behalf  of  that  which  we  hold  dear.  Write  your  letter  immediately,  address  it  to  Hampson 
Gary,  Chairman,  Broadcast  Division,  Federal  Radio  Commission.  Washington,  D.  C 

This  is  Radio's  Zero  Hour.   It  is  our  zero  hour,  too.

ARE  YOU  GETTING  ALL  YOU  CAN 
FROM  YOUR  RADIO?  IT'S  THE 
GREATEST,  FRIENDLIEST,  MOST 
COMFORTABLE  AND  ANXIOUS-TO- 
PLEASE  UNIVERSITY  IN  THE  WORLD 

By  George  Kent 


RAH,  RAH,  Radio  has  more 
teachers,  more  professors,  more 
doctors,  more  lecturers  than  any 
other  school,  college  or  univer- 
sity in  the  world — but  they  don't  watch 
the  students.  They  don't  pick  on  them. 
No  sir.  You  can  cut  classes,  play  hookey, 
be  late  and  make  funny  faces  and  they 
won't  say  a  word.  Not  a  mumbling  word. 

Over  40,000,000  people  went  to  this 
school  in  1934  and  there  was  no  crowding. 
Any  other  college  that  had  even  50,000 
would  explode  or  all  the  dear  boys  and 
girls  get  trampled  to  death.  Columbia 
University  in  New  York  is  about  the 
largest  in  the  country  and  that  has  only 
about  35,000. 

The  class  rooms  in  dear  old  Radio  are 
comfortable,  maybe  too  comfortable.  You 
can  go  to  school  as  you  comb  your  hair, 
as  you  do  the  ironing,  as  you  drive,  as 
[you  lie  in  bed.  Wherever  there's  a  radio 
)set,  there's  school.  And  if  you  don't  like 
the  teacher — click! 

I  don't  care  what  it  is  you  want  to 


learn — from  winning  a  horse  race  to  win- 
ning a  husband — it's  taught  over  these 
bewitching  waves.  And  it's  taught  with 
an  artful  and  dramatic  twist  and  twirl 
that  makes  even  the  hardest  subject  seem 
easy.  The  variety  of  subject  matter  is 
almost  incredible.  There's  music  that 
helps  one-year-old  babies  jump  up  and 
down  in  their  cribs ;  nursery  rhymes  for 
four-year-olds;  John  Martin  for  eight- 
year-olds  ;  Uncle  Don  for  ten-year-olds ; 
and  so  on  up  the  scale  to  the  Battle  of 
Bull  Run  which  is  a  story  told  for  the 
special  benefit  of  grandpaw. 

Had  you  been  a  careful  person  last 
year  and  gone  to  school  instead  of 
squandering  your  radio  hours  on  such 
charming  v  astrels  as  Eddie  Cantor,  Fred 
Allen  and  all,  you  could  have  been  quite 
a  bit  further  along  than  you  are  today. 
And  this  is  serious !  You  could  have 
gotten  started  on  any  of  twenty  careers. 
By  whirling  the  dial  you  could  have  heard 
lectures  on  law,  medicine,  journalism, 
advertising,   (Continued  on  page  78)

DOPE  ON  PUBLIC  FOLK 


NBC  Announcer  James  Welling- 
ton poses  with  his  new  wife,  Anita 
Fuhrmann,  New  York  dancer. 


Here's  Walter  Paterson,  the  Captain 
Nicky  of  "One  Man's  Family"  who, 
on  the  air,  is  engaged  to  Claudia.

and  Eddie  Albert  of  NBC.  (Bot-

•  The  blase  announcers  at  Columbia  studios  in  Chicago 
have  offered  to  take  the  unsophisticated  engineers  of  the 
net  to  a  few  night  spots  in  order  to  inoculate  them  with 
a  little  nudity.  The  offer  came  in  the  wake  of  Sally  Rand's 
broadcast  from  the  World's  Fair  to  the  Byrd  expedition. 
One  of  the  younger  broadcast  technicians  was  assigned  to 
Sally's  boudoir  to  cut  in  the  fan  dancer  at  the  proper 
second  in  a  six-point  pickup  from  the  Fair.  Sally  breezed 
into  her  dressing  room  without  the  usual  fan  or  balloon. 
It  was  too  much  for  the  engineer.  He  got  his  wires 
crossed,  plugged  in  the  wrong  spot  and  burned  out  his 
amplifier.  There  was  just  time  enough  ,  to  make  a  re- 
placement. 

•  Virginia  Rae,  NBC  soprano,  surprised  her  friends  and 
fans  by  taking  time  out  between  programs  to  marry 
Edgar  H.  Sittig,  New  York  cellist.   He  draws  the  bow 

for  several  NBC  orchestras. 

•  Pat  Kennedy  was  held  up,  stripped  of  his  clothes  and 


beaten  senseless  the  week  before  he  was  to  premiere  on 
his  new  Columbia  show  with  Art  Kassel's  orchestra. 
When  he  came  to,  he  flagged  a  cab  and  slipped  into  his 
hotel  in  BVDs.  Pat  had  been  at  the  Chez  Paree  to  see 
Helen  Morgan,  appearing  there  with  Henry  Busse's  Or- 
chestra. The  Unmasked  Tenor  lives  just  a  couple  of 
blocks  away  at  the  Medinah  Athletic  Club.  Feeling  the 
need  of  a  little  fresh  air  he  decided  to  walk  home.  As  he 
passed  an  alley  a  couple  of  thugs  darted  out  and  over- 
powered him.  Three  days  later  he  was  to  have  a  dress 
rehearsal  for  his  new  commercial  show,  but  his  voice 
was  in  no  shape  to  do  any  singing.  One  holdup  man  had 
almost  choked  him  to  death  and  did  serious  injury  to  his 
vocal  chords.  For  several  days  physicians  doubted  that 
he  would  be  able  to  open  his  own  show.  Sponsor  told 
him  to  take  it  easy  and  when  the  big  moment  arrived  Pat 
was  again  fit  as  a  fiddle. 

•  Abe  Lyman's  sister  recently  became  the  mother  of  a 
baby  girl.  When  she  returned  from  the  hospital,  a  nurse 
was  employed  to  care  for  her  and  the  child.    But  when

operate  a  milk  farm  and  sanitarium  together  at  Harrison, 
New  York?   That's  the  second  team  of  Baker  and  Bernie. 

•  One  Man's  Family  has  been  increased.  Bernice  Ber- 
win,  who  plays  the  part  of  Hazel,  has  a  brand  new  baby 
son.  He  was  born  in  October,  weighed  six  and  a  halt 
pounds  and  was  named  Berwiri  Brooks  Berlin.  Bernice, 
in  private  life,  is  Mrs.  A.  Brooks  Berlin,  wife  of  a  San 
Francisco  attorney. 

•  A  budding  romance  is  that  of  Elizabeth  Love,  the  lead- 
ing lady  in  Roses  and  Drums  on  NBC,  and  James  Glover, 
who  writes  the  script  for  that  program.

Bing  is  going  to  indulge  in  the  operation  as  soon  as  he 
finishes  his  next  picture,  "Here  Is  My  Heart." 

•  Though  divorced  from  Captain  Eldon  Burn,  Alice  Joy 
and  her  two  children  recendy  passed  a  vacation  with 


Burn's  parents  in  Canada.  Burn  is  now  employed  at  the 
swank  Blackstone  Hotel  in  Chicago.  He  never  fails  to 
keep  Chicago  newspapers  informed  when  there  is  any- 
thing noteworthy  in  the  divided  family. 

•  Conrad  Thibault  has  just  signed  a  contract  with  the 
producers  of  Show  Boat  which  assures  him  of  remaining 
on  that  program  until  September,  1935. 

•  Two  Chicago  radio  beauties  have  headed  for  glamorous 
movieland  this  fall.  First  to  leave  was  Dolores  Gillen 
who  played  with  NBC's  Princess  Pat  Players  and  took 
the  part  of  the  baby  in  Today's  Children.  At  Columbia* 
she  appeared  in  The  Romance  of  Helen  Trent  and  was 
to  have  taken  the  lead  in  the  show,  Fish  Tales,  when  she 
got  the  call  from  Hollywood.  Dolores  Gillen  in  many 
pictures  bears  a  striking  resemblance  to  Janet  Gaynor. 
Second  beauty  to  leave  Chicago  airlines  for  pictures  was 
Dorothy  (Dolly  Face)  Lamour,  featured  songstress  with

•  David  Ross,  ace  CBS  announcer  and 
poetry  reader,  was  politely  kicked  out 
of  NBC  the  other  day.  The  Studebaker 
people  were  so  pleased  with  the  way 
Ross  announced  their  CBS  shows  that 
they  hired  him  to  announce  their  NBC 
programs.  Ross  showed  up  at  Radio 
City  ready  for  work.  But  NBC  had 
Announcer  John  S.  Young  on  the  job. 
Richard  Himber,  Studebaker  orchestra 
leader,  broke  the  news  to  Ross  that  NBC 
had  turned  thumbs  down  and  wouldn't 
permit  the  CBS  man  on  its  network. 
Ross  left  in  a  hurry.  The  odd  part  of  it 
all  is  that  singers  and  orchestra  leaders 
appear  on  both  networks.  But  not  an- 
nouncers. 

•  Baby  Lily  Segust  lay  dying  at  Cook 
County  hospital  in  a  charity  ward.  Her 
mother  was  also  dangerously  ill.  Joseph 
Segust,  her  penniless  father,  was  frantic 
because  the  baby  needed  a  transfusion 
but  no  donor  could  be  found  whose 
blood  matched  the  infant's.  A  friend 
had  an  idea.  She  called  Dr.  Herman 
Bundesen  at  WLS.  The  Chicago  health 
commissioner  was  on  the  air  at  the  time. 
A  studio  attendant  interrupted  him  with 
the  plea  that  he  ask  for  volunteers  so 
that  the  baby  might  have  a  transfusion. 
Dr.  Bundesen  called  for  donors.  Within 
fifteen  minutes,  three  men  appeared  at 


the  hospital  to  give  their  blood.  The 
first  one  was  found  to  have  the  right 
type  and  the  baby's  life  was  saved, 
thanks  to  radio  and  the  donor. 

•  It's  no  use  offering  John  Barclay, 
star  of  the  Palmolive  Beauty  Box  Thea- 
tre a  cigarette  or  a  cocktail.  He's  off 
both  for  the  sake  of  his  voice. 

•  Elaine  Melchior,  the  Ardala  of  the 
Buck  Rogers  series,  underwent  a  mas- 
toid operation  recently. 

•  The  Betty  Borden  who  had  the  honor 
of  being  the  first  unknown  guest  pre- 
sented on  the  program,  "Lanny's  Log 
Cabin  Inn,"  by  Lanny  Ross  and  Radio 
Stars  Magazine  had  never  sung  before 
over  a  microphone.  Yet  many  who 
heard  her  said  she  wasn't  as  nervous 
as  a  lot  of  the  network  stars.  The  sur- 
prise of  the  program  came  when  the 
real  identity  of  Betty  was  discovered. 
She's  the  great-great-granddaughter  of 
the  founder  of  Borden's  Condensed 
Milk  Company. 

•  Though  it's  been  on  the  air  two 

years,  John  Royal,  NBC  program  chief, 
has  just  discovered  Irma  Glen's  pro- 
gram of  "Lovable  Music."  The  program 
is  sponsored  by  a  woman  who  does  not 
want  her  name  known,  so  it  has  been 
presented  just  as  if  it  were  a  sustaining 
feature.  Mr.  Royal  objected  to  this  on 
the  ground  that  the  broadcasters'  code

her  family  to  be  an  actress. 


Jid  not  permit  such  an  unorthodox  ar- 
rangement. So  Irma  has  become  the 
sponsor,  but  the  dope  is  that  the  mys- 
terious lady  is  still  paying  for  the 
program. 

•  Joe  Penner  stopped  off  in  Detroit  re- 
cently to  visit  his  parents.  He  wanted 
them  to  give  up  their  little  home  there 
in  an  unfashionable  section  of  the  city 
and  let  him  install  them  in  a  comfortable 
little  place  in  Southern  California.  But 
they  wouldn't  yield  to  his  entreaty. 

A  year  or  so  ago,  Joe's  father  was 
laid  off  from  his  job  in  an  automobile 
factory.  He  heard  that  there  was  work 
to  be  had  at  PWA  headquarters  so  went 
around  to  ask  for  a  job.  Joe  felt  awfully 
badly,  about  that.  He  knows  that  lots 
of  folks  would  criticize  him  for  such  an 
occurrence  in  his  family.  To  Joe's 
father  it  was  just  a  way  of  getting  a 
new  job.  He  doesn't  need  work,  but 
can't  feel  comfortable  without  it.  His 
mother  is  the  same  way.  She  won't 
even  let  Joe  hire  a  maid  for  her. 

•  Jessica  Dragonette  journeyed  to  Chi- 
cago in  October  to  help  the  sponsors  of 
the  Sentinels  Serenade  celebrate  their 
seventh  anniversary  on  the  air.  There 
was  a  bit  of  sentiment  behind  this  trip 
for  this  sponsor  first  presented  her  on 
the  air  seven  years  ago.  Incidentally 
she  got  about  seven  times  the  fee  for 


this  single  broadcast  as  she  did  for  her 
first  week  with  this  show. 

•  When  Gertrude  Niesen  travels  she 
takes  her  father  with  her.  Recently  she 
made  an  appearance  in  Chicago,  her 
first  in  the  midwest.  Daddy  was  along. 
Now  her  father  is  a  youngish  looking 
man,  so  when  they  were  presented  as 
Miss  Niesen  and  Mr.  Niesen,  Papa 
Niesen  regularly  added,  "I'm  her 
father,"  lest  he  be  mistaken,  possibly,  as 
husband  of  the  exotic  Columbia  singer. 

•  It  costs  to  be  popular.  Conrad 
Thibault  had  so  many  guests  dropping 
in  at  his  four  room  apartment  that  he 
had  to  move  to  a  seven  room  place. 

•  Helen  King,  who  is  Em  of  Clara,  Lu 
'n'  Em,  spent  a  month's  vacation  in 
Mexico.  With  her  husband  she  was  the 
guest  of  Diego  Rivera,  the  painter, 
whose  murals  in  Rockefeller  Center 
were  refused  on  the  grounds  that  they 
extolled  communism. 

•  Jerry  Cooper,  the  CBS  baritone,  had 
a  very  unusual  experience.  While  en- 
acting the  role  of  a  fireman  on  a  radio 
program,  the  New  York  fire  depart- 
ment was  actually  putting  out  a  fire  in 
his  hotel  room.

IN  THE  YEAR  1926  Radio  was  ready  to  mount  its  litt 
kilocycle  and  ride  away  into  the  night.  The  excitemer 
the  novelty  was  over.  And  there  was  nothing  to  ta! 
its  place.  Nothing — zero !    Radio  was  through ! 

People  were  still  buying  a  few  radios.  But  folks  wl 
had  owned  them  a  month  or  more  were  clipping  t 
aerials.  Set  owners  from  coast  to  coast  were  totii 
them  up  to  the  attic,  leaving  them  there  between  the  lot 
game  and  grandpa's  mustache  waxer.  Radio  was  01 
ward  bound,  going  the  way  of  mah  jong,  pogo  sticl

our  excitement  when  he  introduced  Mary  Garden,  sing- 
ig  from  Chicago;  and  then  Will  Rogers,  doing  a  mon-

The  muscle  behind  the  kick  was  a  man,  a  minister's

resident  of  NBC  he  didn't  know  a  dial  from  a  file.

It's  an  old  Aylesworth  custom.

do.  Radio  was  a  menagerie  of  stations  clawing  the  air 
for  as  much  time,  wave  length  and  air  possible.  A  free 
for  all !  The  loud  speakers  were  full  of  spaghetti.  First 
job  of  Merlin,  the  magician :  Iron  out  the  air.  Line  up 
the  stations  Clear  the  tracks.  Give  the  listener  a  break. 
He  walked,  he  rode,  he  drove,  he  flew.  He  had  nine- 
teen stations  basted  together  that  night  of  November 
15th.  A  year  later  he  had  forty -eight  sewed  up. 

The  station  question  fixed  for  the  moment,  he  gave 
his  attention  to  programs.  Aylesworth  puts  on  his  hat, 
calls  on  theatrical  producers,  bites  his  nails  like  a  school- 
boy. What  makes  people  laugh?  What  makes  them  cry? 
He  pleads  for  advice.  What  makes  listeners  listen?  But 
nobody  seems  to  have  the  answer.  Take  a  chance,  they 
suggest.  Try  everything.  Experiment.  It  comes  home  to 
Aylesworth  that  he  is  operating  in  virgin  territory.  It's 
up  to  him  to  do  the  pioneering. 

January,  1927.  NBC  is  not  yet  two  months  old.  But 
Aylesworth  has  crossed  the  Rockies.  A  microphone  is 
in  the  California  sun.  An  announcer  in  shirtsleeves  re- 
I>orts  the  Rose  Bowl  game  between  Leland  Stanford  and 
Alabama.  Shivering  occupants  of  New  England  and  Xorth 
Dakota  farmhouses  hear  for  ihe  first  time  a  coast  to 
coast  report  of  a  football  game. 

Thousands  of  letters  pour  in.  Approval  from  his 
people.    This  is  what  they  like.    All  right,  we'll  give

them  more  just  like  it.  Radio  stunts 
don't  happen,  they  have  to  be  planned 
far  in  advance.  All  through  January 
and  most  of  February  they  plan  for 
President  Coolidge's  Washington 
Birthday  broadcast.  Where  shall  we 
place  the  mikes,  who  will  be  the  an- 
nouncers, how  many  stations  .  .  .? 
Countless  questions  find  countless 
answers.  And  the  President  reaches 
20,000,000  over  a  forty-three  station 
hookup. 

The  carbon  mike — in  use  in  those 
days — is  a  bad  actor.  Spoils  good 
broadcasting.  Memos  to  the  engi- 
neering department:  Wrork  on  the 
mike.  Hire  experts.  Improve  it. 
Make  it  more  reliable.  Today,  there 
are  mikes  for  every  purpose. 

Aylesworth  calls  on  Otto  Kahn, 
lord  of  the  Metropolitan  House. 
The  minister's  son  wants  grand 
opera  for  his  millions.  He  argues 
and  loses.  Back  to  his  office,  but 
not  black  with  discouragement. 
There  are  other  opera  companies  al- 
most as  good.  When  does  the  next 
plane  leave  for  Chicago?  He  grabs 
it  and  a  day  later  he  arranges  the 
first  broadcast  of  grand  opera.  In 
late  January,  the  arias  of  Faust  flow 
into  sheet-iron  shacks  and  under  leak- 
ing roofs  from  coast  to  coast  for  the

first  time — broadcast  from  the  stage 
of  the  Civic  Auditorium  in  Chicago. 

Radio  has  to  stand  on  its  own 
feet,  must  pay  for  itself.  No  Brit- 
ish system  for  America  under  which 
every  set  owner  is  taxed  so  much 
each  year.  How  about  advertising? 
He  sends  a  salesman  to  an  advertis- 
ing agency.  Pooh,  says  the  agent. 
Pooh  yourself,  says  the  salesman. 
The  upshot :  The  Queensbo rough 
Corporation  goes  on  the  air  for  fif- 
teen minutes.  The  first  advertiser  in 
radio !  Hundreds  of  letters  reach 
the  corporation.  Proof  that  the  air 
is  worth  money.  Radio  advertising 
has  arrived. 

The  Goodrich  Tire  people  follow 
with  the  Silvertone  Band  and  their 
masked  tenor.  Aylesworth  has  anoth- 
er idea.  He  charges  out  of  the  office 
into  the  street.  Up  he  goes  to  a 
building,  hurdles  clerks,  office  boys 
and  secretaries  and  at  last  stands 
before  the  power  behind  Pepsodent. 
No,  says  the  power.  Yes,  says 
Aylesworth.  And  yes  it  is.  Yes  to 
Amos  and  Andy.  And  this  pair  be- 
gin their  march  into  the  hearts  of 
the  radio  public. 

Another  day  he  bags  General 
Motors.  Not  without  sleepless 
nights  and  long  planning.   He  spins 


a  web  for  Lucky  Strike  and  la 
year's  Metropolitan  Opera  broa 
casts  were  paid  for  with  cigaret 
money. 

What  to  do  next?  It  is  1927.  Rad 
must  advance  along  three  fronts, 
must  go  ahead  technically.  It  mi 
pay  for  itself.  Most  important  of  a 
it  must  maintain  a  high  entertai 
ment  standard.  Millions  are  hom 
less  because  of  the  floods  in  t 
Mississippi  Valley.  Money,  cloth 
and  food  are  needed.  It  is  an  oppc 
tunity  for  Radio  to  perform  a  r< 
public  service.  Secretary  of  Coi 
merce  Hoover  comes  to  the  mikeai

conspire.    Six   mikes   are  scatter

Three  days  later  the  same  thing  ; 
repeated  in  New  York  City. 


The  Peace  Bridge  over  Niagara  is 
dedicated  in  August  and  the  NBC 
mikes  catch  and  share  with  the  na- 
tion the  voices  of  the  Prince  of 
Wales,  Prince  George,  Premier  Bald- 
win, Vice-President  Dawes  and  Al 
Smith.  Denipsey  and  Tunney  go 
into  the  ring  at  Soldiers'  Field  in 
Chicago.  Graham  McNamee  sits  by 
the  ringside,  mike  to  his  face.  He 
sends  the  blows  out  on  the  air  as 
fast  as  they  are  delivered. 

The  year  comes  to  a  close.  Ayles- 
worth  examines  the  result.  Money 
earned  through  advertising:  $3,760,- 
000.  Still  in  the  red,  but  not  bad 
for  a  beginning. 

Politics  crashed  through  in  1928. 
The  air  is  yours,  says  Aylesworth  to 
all  political  parties.  Democratic  and 
Republican  conventions  go  on  the 
air.  The  listeners  hear  Franklin  D. 
Roosevelt  at  Houston,  Texas,  put  Al 
Smith's  name  in  nomination.  They 
hear  him  described  as  "the  happy 
warrior,"  a  name  he  will  always 
bear. 

A  Democrat  complains  that  NBC 
shut  him  off  the  air  in  the  midst  of 
a  speech  denouncing  the  Republicans. 
Aylesworth  laughs  and  investigates. 
It's  true  the  wire  was  cut — but  not 
by  NBC.   Three  boys   hunting  a

did  the  clipping. 

Norman  Thomas,  Socialist  can- 
didate for  Governor  comes  to  the 
NBC  president.  He  lays  his  speech 
on  the  table  to  be  censored.  Ayles- 
worth throws  it  back  at  him.  "You 
can  tear  up  the  speech,  so  far  as  I 
am  concerned.  Go  on  and  speak 
whenever  you  are  ready." 

Son  of  a  Protestant  minister. 
Aylesworth  sweats  with  his  staff 
working  out  a  solution  to  the  relig- 
ious problem.  All  denominations  are 
welcomed.  With  two  provisos.  They 
must  not  try  to  make  converts. 
They  must  not  abuse  another  re- 
ligion. Aylesworth  himself  overcomes 
the  reluctance  of  the  Catholics  and 
brings  Cardinal  Hayes  to  the  mike. 

His  father  twinkles  as  he  tells 
you :  "I  never  dreamt  that  a  son  of 
mine  would  introduce  the  country's 
greatest  Catholic  to  the  radio  pub- 
lic." 

That  year  the  Farm  and  Home

to  the  mike.  The  number  of  stations 
has  grown  to  fifty-six,  a  powerful, 
harmonious  network  connected  by

bill:       (Continued   on   page  91)

THE  MEN 


Ravenscroft  Sutton 


VIDA  RAVENSCROFT  SUTTON  will  be  remembered 
when  all  the  radio  announcers  of  all  the  radio  stations 
have  retired  to  dude  ranches  and  double-entry  book- 
keeping. For  Vida  is  the  silent,  sharp-eared  lady  who 
changed  the  radio  announcer  from  a  pain  in  the  neck  to  a 
joy  forever. 

Her  job  is  conducting  the  Magic  of  Speech  program 
for  NBC,  but  her  work  is  school  marm  and  official  spanker 
for  the  company's  announcers.  She  has  made  announcing 
sweet,  clear,  sincere  and  painless.  She  has  stuck  pins  in 
their  swell  heads  and  boxed  their  ears  when  they  tried 
to  talk  "clawssy,  doncher  know,  pip-pip." 

There  are  about  3,000  radio  announcers  in  America 
and,  except  for  a  few  honky-tonk  talkers,  all  of  them  are 
men.  Behind  them  all — behind  the  high  level  of  their 
lingo  and  elan — stands  this  gray-eyed  lady,  barely  five 
feet  tall.   Girls,  let  that  at  least  be  a  comfort  to  you. 

Early  in  1929  Vida  Sutton  came  to  NBC.  It  was  shortly 
after  the  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Letters  an- 


nounced that  it  was  going  to  award  an  annual  prize  fo! 
diction  in  radio.  She  came  for  the  express  purpose  o' 
making  first  class  announcers  out  of  just  fair  announcers 
So  Vida  set  up  school  in  the  studios,  rang  the  bell,  rappee 
on  the  desk  and  started  embroidering  dunce  caps. 

All  of  the  radio  announcers  in  the  network's  New  Yorl 
stations  went  to  her  school.  A  hard  boiled  lot,  a  con 
ceited  gang,  flawful  and  inaccurate,  stilted,  stiff  am 
scared,  contemptuous  of  instruction.  They  came  to  scofl 
they  stayed  to  learn.  One  of  them,  Milton  Cross,  a  radi 
pionelr,  carried  off  the  diction  prize  for  1929.  Hi 
sympathetic  delivery  won  for  him. 

The  next  year,  another  of  Vida's  school  boys  won  agai 
— Alwyn  Bach,  a  head-of-the-classer.  In  1931,  a  thir 
member  of  the  class,  John  Wesley  Holbrook  wa 
crowned  diction  king  for  a  year.  All  of  which  wer 
feathers  and  feathers  in  the  smart  Paris  bonnet  of  th 
little  school  mistress. 

When  the  year  1932  rolled  around  she  looked  over  h(

announcers  and  gave  a  long  deep  thought  to  David  Ross, 
of  CBS.  She  was  too  devoted  a  lover  of  good  speech, 
too  honest  an  individual  not  to  recognize  his  great  merit. 
And  she  herself  suggested  him  for  the  1932  award.  And 
so  it  was. 

Last  year  Jimmy  Wallington,  impetuous  charmer,  her 
fourth  winner,  carried  off  the  diction  prize.  Did  I  say 
she  was  honest  ?  She  is  too  honest,  too 
conscientious  for  her  own  best  inter- 
ests. When  Jimmy  won  she  declared 
she  had  contributed  very  little  to  his 
success. 

"His  diction,"  she  went  on  to  say, 
"is  far  from  perfect.  But  he  has  a  dramatic  style.  A 
great  enthusiasm.  He  brings  to  his  reading  a  gusto  and 
a  sincerity  which  outweigh  the  technical  defects  in  his 
speech." 

As  you  see,  she  takes  more  than  only  correct  pronuncia- 
tion into  consideration  before  passing  judgment.

Some  day  when  you  are  alone  with  Massa  James,  just 
ask  him  and  he  will  tell  you  what  a  profound  help  Vida 
Sutton  has  been  to  him  in  his  crawl  up  the  ladder. 

The  lessons  she  taught,  the  methods  she  used,  have 
travelled  the  breadth  of  the  land.  Announcers  in  dinky 
500  watt  stations  have  learned  by  imitating  her  pupils. 
They  have  learned  by  listening  to  the  Magic  of  Speech 
program.  They  have  learned  from 
letters  she  took  the  trouble  to  write 
them.  The  result  is :  Credit  to  Vida 
Sutton  for  raising  the  standard  of 
radio  speech,  especially  radio  announc- 
ing, twenty  notches  above  what  it  was 
when  she  pricked  up  her  ears  and  started  telling  radio 
folk  what's  wrong  with  their  talk. 

Her  methods  are  simple.  The  principle  behind  them — 
A-B-C,  she  says,  and  you  who  have  a  yen  for  going 
into  radio  had  better  listen.  Ah,  that's  the  point.  Listen ! 
Listen,  listen,  listen  and  listen!  (Continued  on  page  68)

YOUR  LIFE  FOR  A 
CAREER?  ACTUALLY

LORETTA  CLEMENS  DID!

(Above)  Jack  and  Loretta  Clemens,  who  are 
Bobby  Gibson  and  Dot  Myers,  his  wisecracking 
girl  friend,  of  "The  Gibson  Family."  Anne  Elster

WHEN  you  hear  Jack  and  Loretta  Gemens 
basking  in  the  golden  spotlight  as  the  juvenile 
leads  of  "The  Gibson  Family"  every  Saturday 
night    over    NBC,    don't   envy    their  luck. 
They're  on  top  now,  yes,  but  each  step  on  the  way  up 
was  such  a  heartbreaking,  torturous  one  that  I  some- 
times wonder  if  any  career  is  worth  it. 

It  seems  incredible  that  so  many  tough  breaks  could 
have  been  crowded  into  their  short  lives.  They  walked 
the  streets  of  New  York  looking  for  work  until  their 
soles  were  worn  completely  through.  They  didn't  know 
where  their  next  meal  was  coming  from,  in  fact  once  for 
two  whole  days  they  had  nothing  at  all  to  eat.  They 
lived  in  a  damp  basement  that  all  but  ruined  their  health. 
And  this  isn't  the  half  of  it,  either. 

Believe  you  me,  they  deserve  every  bit  of  success 
they're  enjoying.  I  don't  think  there  are  many  who  would 
have  gone  through  their  bitter  experiences  without 
throwing  up  the  sponge. 

Jack  and  Loretta  are  brother  and  sister  and  they  hail 
from  Cleveland.  Ohio.  They  got  their  taste  of  trouble 
at  an  early  date  for  their  father  died  leaving  the  family 
almost  destitute. 

Loretta  let  down  the  hem  of  her  dress,  adopted  a

grownup  air  and  got  a  job  on  a  local  radio  station  as 
staff  pianist.  Later  she  introduced  Jack  and  his  guitar 
on  her  programs.  Between  the  two  of  them  they  were 
making  just  about  enough  to  keep  house.  Things  were 
looking  bright,  when  suddenly  with  no  warning  sorrow 
again  descended  on  the  Clemens  household.  Their  mother 
became  desperately  ill. 

"She  must  have  expert  care,"  the  doctor  said.  "A  day 
nurse  and  a  night  nurse,  special  medicine  and  .  .  ."  On 
and  on  he  droned,  while  the  brother  and  sister,  wide-eyed 
with  terror,  wondered  how  they  could  raise  the  money. 

Swallowing  her  pride  Loretta  pleaded  with  the  station 
manager  to  give  her  more  work.  Jack  got  a  job  at 
night  waiting  on  tables,  and  he  would  trudge  home  at  day- 
break exhausted,  but  with  a  few  pennies  in  his  pocket. 

After  appearing  on  so  many  programs  Loretta  finally 
came  to  the  attention  of  Station  WBEN  in  Buffalo  where 
she  was  offered  more  money.  So  she  kissed  her  mother 
goodbye  and  squeezed  Jack's  hand  hopefully. 

In  two  months  she  sent  for  him  to  come.  Loretta 
at  the  piano,  Jack  at  the 
guitar  and  a  light,  bubbly 
banter   and    songs  be- 
tween  them-  comprised

their  act.  That  was  the  beginning  of  the  team  of  "Jack 
and  Loretta." 

How  they  managed  to  make  ends  meet,  I  don't  know. 
Their  salary  was  almost  nothing  and  they  sent  prac- 
tically every  cent  they  earned  to  the  doctors  and  nurses 
in  Cleveland  to  keep  the  spark  of  life  in  their  mother. 

THEX  came  the  black  day  that  changed  the  whole  course 
'  of  their  lives.  They  shudder  when  they  talk  of  it  now. 
First  came  the  telegram  from  Cleveland.    It  was  from 
the  doctor.   "Expect  the  worst.   Mother  not  ex- 
pected to  live."  Right  on  top  of  that  came  a  call 


from  the  new  director  at  the  studio  where  they  worked. 
"You're  here  a  long  time,"  he  told  them.  "Two  and 
one-half  years  .  .  .  too  long  .  .  .  changing  staff  .  .  .  two 
weeks'  notice  .  .  .  sorry  .  .  .  you  understand  .  .  ." 

The  words  suddenly  took  on  a  grim  importance.  "You 
can't  do  that,"  Loretta  cried.  "You  can't.  We'll  take  a 
cut  in  salary,  but  you  can't  let  us  go.  We  need  our  jobs 
more  than  ever." 

The  director  summoned  a  frozen  smile.  "Sorry,"  he 
mumbled.  "Have  to  do  this." 

Anyone  else,  I  imagine,  would  have  just  broken  down. 
Oh,  don't  think  that  Jack  and  Loretta  weren't  bitter. 
But  instead  of  wailing  and  whining,  they  thrust  their 
chins  out  and  made  a  resolution. 

"New  York!"  they  said.  "New  York  or  bust."  They 
sent  their  two  weeks'  salary  to  the  doctors  in  Cleveland 
and  hopped  on  a  bus. 

There  they  were,  two  scared,  green  kids,  alone  in  the 
Big  Town,  no  connections,  no  contacts,  no  friends,  no 
clothes,  nothing  but  thirty-three  dollars,  a  flock  of  worries 
and  a  boundless  amount  of  courage.  What  a  start ! 

How  were  they  expected  to  know  that  it  was  almost 
impossible  to  crash  the  New  York  networks?  But  they 
found  out  soon  enough. 

One  morning  Loretta  looked  (Continued  on  page  93)

SYNOPSIS 

Myra  Gorman  was  born  and  raised  in  the  little 
Missouri  town  of  Gilesburg.  Besides  being  very 
pretty  she  had  the  kind  of  a  voice  that  radio  was 
making  famous.  So  when  Cass  De  Voe,  a  handsome, 
dashing  fellow  from  the  city,  found  her  working  in  a 
music  store  he  did  not  have  a  hard  time  persuading 
her  to  come  to  him  at  Beacon  City  with  the  promise 
that  he  would  arrange  a  radio  audition  for  her. 

Naturally  Myra  Gorman  was  overwhelmed  with 
gratitude,  besides  being  attracted  by  Cass's  suave, 
easy  manners.  And  in  spite  of  the  pleadings  of 
Dan  Kelland,  who  was  in  love  with  her  and  warned 
her  against  the  "city  slicker."  she  left  Gilesburg. 

From  the  first  she  was  suspicious  of  the  phoney 
setup  of  Cass  De  Voe's  office,  but  being  half  in  love 
with  him,  she  would  not  admit  to  herself  that  he  was 
running  a  racket  although  it  was  apparent. 

When  her  savings  were  gone  she  was  forced  to 
become  an  entertainer  in  a  cheap  roadhouse.  There 
a  talent  scout  discovered  her  and  she  became  a  star, 
believing  Cass  had  arranged  it 

That  night  she  went  to  his  apartment.  She  was 
more  in  love  with  him  than  ever  and  she  made  no 
objections  when  he  became  her  business  manager 
and  drew  up  a  contract  that  took  half  of  her  salary.

TORCH 


INGER 


1  WAS  only  when  a  day  or  two  passed  without  my 
."ing  Cass  that  I  tortured  myself  with  the  age-old  ques- 
tn:  "Does  he  still  care?"  But  when  I  did  see  him,  when 
1  took  me  in  his  arms  and  kissed  me  with  the  old  passion- 
fervor,  I  was  lulled  into  a  false  security.  How  false, 
night  not  have  guessed  so  soon  but  for  my  unheralded 
"lit  to  his  office  one  late  November  afternoon,  after  our 
1st  real  quarrel. 

My  hundred  a  week — which  was  only  fifty,  after  his 
t— didn't  go  very  far.  I  knew  now,  from  what  I'd 
irned  at  the  studio,  that  I  was  giving  him  an  exorbitant 
mmission.    It  wasn't  the  money  itself  that  rankled,  but 
tatuated  though  I  was,  I  couldn't  help  feeling  that  he'd 
ncen  a  pretty  raw  advantage  of  my  ignorance  and 
experience.    The  night  he  told  me  to  get  myself  a 
appy  winter  outfit,  a  frock  and  hat  with  real  dash  to  it. 
wear  to  a  Board  of  Trade  luncheon  at  which  I  was 
be  guest  of  honor,  I  implied  as  much.    "What  with, 
iss?"    My  voice  was  shaky,  but  the  words  rushed  out. 
m  just  able  to  get  by  on  my  salary,  or  what's  left  of 
and  you  know  it !    You're  getting  a  pretty  big  cut 
Jt  of  mv  earnings.     If  I'd  known  more  about  such 
'ings.  . 

|  He  wheeled  on  me,  his  handsome  eyes  narrow  and 
rd.  I'd  never  seen  that  look  on  his  mouth  before.  It 
as  mean,  rapacious.  "Yeah?  Who's  been  getting  at 
5U?  I  didn't  coerce  you  any  into  signing  up  with  me, 

k*  I  remember.    You  were  pretty  anxious  to  do  it,  the 

flight  before  your  audition." 
The  significance  of  the  reminder  made  my  cheeks  burn. 


"So  you  think  I'm  gypping  you.  Any  time  you  want 
to  call  it  a  day.  kid,  it's  oke  by  me!" 

"Cass !"  He  was  reaching  for  his  swagger  coat,  as  if 
everything  between  us  could  be  broken  off  like  that,  so 
far  as  he  was  concerned.  "I  didn't  mean  it!  I  know 
you're  plugging  me,  getting  me  all  this  publicity.  .  .  . 
Darling,  I'm  sorry  I  said  anything.  .  .  ." 

The  door  slammed  after  him.  His  bluff  worked,  just 
as  he'd  known  it  would.  And  I  put  in  a  hag-ridden, 
sleepless  night  that  made  my  next  morning's  rehearsal  a 
complete  fiasco.  When  I  got  back  to  the  apartment  there 
was  no  message.  I  didn't  even  go  out  to  lunch,  lest  he 
call  up.  But  the  phone  didn't  ring.  And  at  four  o'clock, 
unable  to  bear  the  uncertainty,  the  awful  emptiness  of  a 
life  without  Cass  in  it,  I  went  to  his  office. 

Ten  days  before,  he'd  hired  a  new  stenographer,  a  pretty 
little  redhead  named  Julie.  She  wasn't  at  the  switchboard 
and  I  went  straight  to  Cass's  door.'  I  knocked,  but  didn't 
wait  for  any  "come  in."  Wait,  when  I  wanted  so  to 
feel  his  arms  about  me  again  that  my  heart  was  beating 
a  sick  tattoo? 

I  opened  the  door — and  longed  for  the  earth  to  open 
under  me.  I  might  as  well  have  seen  them  in  each  other's 
arms.  Cass,  swearing  under  his  breath,  was  dabbing  at 
his  mouth  with  a  handkerchief.  (It  didn't  help  much, 
there  was  a  smear  of  orange  lipstick  still  visible  on  his 
cleft  chin.)  And  the  stenographer  was  doing  things  to 
her  hair. 

She  got  out.- while  I  leaned  against  the  wall,  my  knees 
buckling  under  me.  Cass  greeted  me  as  if  nothing  hac

happened.  It  wouldn't  have  hurt  so  much  had  he  been 
sullen  or  defiant.  But  to  have  him  play  the  lover  almost 
killed  me.  And  to  my  undying  shame,  I  ignored  the 
whole  episode.  I  let  him  take  me  in  his  arms;  I  asked 
him  to  forgive  me  for  what  I'd  said  the  night  before. 
Oh,  a  girl  in  love  is  a  glutton  for  punishment! 

We  made  up.  I  couldn't  lose  him,  could  I  ?  And  I 
pretended,  in  the  weeks  that  followed,  that  everything  was 
just  the  same.  Rut  in  my  heart  I  knew  better.  I  knew, 
now,  why  he  was  away  so  often.  I  knew  that  he  wasn't 
capable  of  loving  any  woman !  That  he  only  wanted  to 
keep  me  in  this  abject  state  because  I  might  prove  a  gold 
mine  to  him  some  day.  Yet,  wanting  him  with  every 
breath,  I  clung  as  long  as  I  could  to  the  diminishing 
crumbs  of  comfort  his  facile  lip  service  of  love  held  out. 

HEAVEN  only  knows  why  my  broadcasts  didn't  suffer. 
But  they  didn't.  Maybe  a  torch  singer  to  be  really 
hot  has  to  know  what  a  torch  song  is  all  about !  I  did, 
God  knows. 

However  that,  my  fan  mail  kept  increasing;  my  sponsor 
began  to  talk  about  signing  me  up  again,  at  double  the 
figure.  Then,  just  before  my  contract  ran  out,  the  miracle 
happened.  I  was  offered  a  thirteen  weeks'  contract  over 
the  networks,  singing  in  Mid-City  on  the  Beauty  Glow 
hour. 

It  meant  a  nation-wide  hookup ;  it  meant  a  salary  that 
took  my  breath  away ;  it  meant  leaving  Beacon  City  where, 
despite  my  success,  I  was  so  unhappy.  And  above  all, 
it  meant  a  clean  break  with  Cass.  That,  I  realized  at 
last,  had  to  come.  I  couldn't  go  on  cheapening  myself 
much  longer.  And  so  long  as  I  was  seeing  him  at  all, 
T  couldn't  set  myself  free. 

So,  after  a  four-day  stretch  of  not  seeing  him  or  hearing 
from  him,  I  braced  myself  for  the  final  showdown.  I  was 
through,  I  told  myself.  I  owed  him  nothing  but  humilia- 
tion and  heartbreak  and  this  time  nothing  he  could  do  or 
say  would  change  me.  Life  was  becoming  too  miserable. 


But  I  might  have  spared  myself  my  fine  resolutions.1' 
It  wasn't  Cass  the  lover  who  l)eat  down  my  resistance 
that  night  after  my  broadcast.    It  was  a  trigger-tense,, 
wary-eyed  Cass  who  had  too  much  on  his  mind  to  make 
any  show  of  devotion  or  penitence. 

He  knew,  of  course,  of  my  big  chance.  But  when  I 
told  him  why  I  meant  to  take  it,  at  any  figure,  his  lip 
curled.  "Getting  ready  to  bail  out  on  me,  huh  ?"  he  said 
softly.  "Not  so  fast,  Baby!  Listen  to  me  for  a  min- 
ute. ..." 

"If  you  think  you  can  keep  me  from  going  to  Mid- 
City  ..."  I  blazed  at  him.  For  the  first  time  the  toudj 
of  him  seemed  to  soil  me.    I  struck  his  hands  from  nr 

shoulders.  | 

He  laughed.  "Would  I  be  keeping  us  out  of  the  bijj 
money  at  this  part  of  the  game?  Us,  I  said!  Listen 
I'm  in  a  bad  jam,  and  the  dough  we're  going  to  sign  tnl 
for  tomorrow  is  going  to  be  a  lifesaver — for  both  of  usfl 
He  blew  a  smoke  ring  that  broke,  scowled  at  it.  "Thl 
D.  A.  is  making  a  grandstand  play  against  the  radi,1 
rackets  next  month,  it  seems.   A  lot  of  suckers  have  bee 
bellyaching  and  it's  time  for  Cass  De  Voe  to  do  a  fadt 
out.    Unless  I  leave  town  fast  I'm  going  to  be  indictet 
So  let's  drink  to  the  Beauty  Glow  sponsors — and  a  fres 
start  in  Mid-City!" 

I  watched  him  splash  Scotch  into  a  glass  with  a  sicl 
dead  feeling  inside  of  me.  "You  don't  seem  to  undei 
stand,"  I  told  him.  "I'm  sorry  you're  in  a  jam,  Cas 
But  it  doesn't  concern  me — and  it  isn't  going  to.  We' 
through.  .  .  ." 

"Yeah?"  His  grin  was  insulting.  "You'd  be  su 
prised,  sweetheart !  Just  let  me  be  indicted  and  see  ho 
much  it  concerns  you !  There'll  be  plenty  of  publicity- 
and  the  wrong  kind,  I  promise  you  that.  The  sort  that 
cook  little  Myra  Gorman's  goose.  Once  it's  known  th 
she's  my  girl  .  .  ."

The  boat  was  as  large  as  a  hotel  and  there  were  lots  of 
people  all  around,  but  I  stayed,  with  George  because  I 
didn't  have  anyone  else  to  miss. 

Finally  we  arrived  at  Naples.  Did  I  tell  you  we  were 
away  three  months — June,  July  and  Naples?  I  was 
awfully  disappointed  right  away.  Everyone  was  talking 
about  the  Bey  of  Naples,  but  I  didn't  see  one  Arab  in

it  surely  is  a  good  one.  They  call  it  Vesuvius — which  I 
think  is  awfully  silly,  don't  you?  I  looked  around  for  "The

Capri  is  seven  and  one-quarter  and  George  takes  a  six

IF  A  girl  hadn't  jilted  Richard  Himber.  he  most  cer-

Have  you  ever  lieen  turned  down?  Well,  you  can 
imagine  that  desjierate  "to-hell-with-it-all"  feeling  it 
gives  you.    It  gave  Himber  the  nerve  to  plunge  into  the 
wildest,  most  reckless  idea  in  the  world,  a  scheme  that  he 
normally  would  never  have  attempted. 

As  for  his  romance  with  the  girl — well,  that  was  all  a 
mi>take  from  the  beginning.  They  were  as  mismated  as 
any  two  people  possibly .  could  Ijc.  but  they  were  both 
terribly  in  love.  That  combination  is  as  dangerous  as 
TXT,  but  in  Dick's  case  the  explosion  proved  to  be  a 
lucky  accident. 

He  met  the  girl  about  three  years  ago  at  a  society  party 
while  he  was  working  in  the  band.  She  was  a  guest  there, 
one  of  the  laughing  del>s  who  danced  past  the  bandstand. 
If  I  were  to  tell  you  her  name  you'd  recognize  it,  for 
you've  doubtless  seen  it  loads  of  times  in  the  society 
columns.  Whatever  promjrted  her  to  sneak  away  from

Dick  and   Peg   LaCentra,   girl  singer, 
going  over  an  arrangement. 


he  was  fourteen  he  had  heen  earning  a  living  with  his 
violin.  He  was  one  of  those  "child  prodigies,"  hut  instead 
of  basking  in  the  smiles  and  heams  of  gushing  adults, 
lie  left  high  school  to  get  a  job.  It  was  Sophie  Tucker 
who  gave  him  his  first  chance.  He  toured  the  vaudeville 
houses  as  her  accompanist  and  his  whole  life  from  then 
on  was  spent  in  the  theatre  with  its  rough  and  ready 
people.  It  t».'(/.t  his  life,  and  he  loved  it.  His  fame  as  a 
musician  spread  and  Rudy  Vallee  sent  for  him  to  be  his 
chief  musical  arranger. 

He  didn't  intend  to  work  much  longer  for  Vallee  or 
for  any  other  bandleader,  for  that  matter.  Deep  down 
in  his  heart  he  wanted  to  have  his  own  orchestra,  but  he 
wasn't  quite  ready  for  it  yet.  For  as  a  shrewd  showman 
he  knew  that  his  orchestra  would  have  to  be  different. 

IX TIL  he  had  achieved  this  ambition,  he  decided  he 
^  could  not  possibly  ask  the  girl  to  marry  him.  First 
of  all.  she  couldn't  l>e  ex|>ected  to  adjust  her  life  to  live  on 
his  present  salary.   And  besides  the  money  problem,  Dick 


felt  that  he  had  to  balance  her  social  standing  by  building 
up  his  own  prestige  in  the  music  world.  It  wasn't  just 
pride,  it  was  good  common  sense.  You  can  understand 
how  he  felt. 

Hut  the  girl  didn't  understand.  She  just  knew  that 
Dick  was  spending  more  of  his  time  with  his  music  than 
with  her.  With  all  of  the  arrogance  and  confidence  of 
the  wealthy,  she  thought  that  money  could  solve  any  prob- 
lem. "Let's  have  fun."  she  would  say.  "Leave  all  of 
this  and  let's  hop  on  a  boat  and  see  the  world." 

When  Dick  would  remind  her  that  he  had  a  job  and  a 
career  to  think  of,  she  would  pout.  "Hut  you  don't  have 
to  work.  I  have  plenty  of  money.  We  can  live  on  that. 
There's  nothing  wrong  in  that." 

Can  you  imagine  Richard  Himber.  knowing  his  back- 
ground as  you  already  do,  living  on  money  provided  by 
a  rich  girl's  father?  The  idea  repelled  him. 

That  was  the  beginning  of  the  end.  They  were  both 
pulling  in  opposite  directions.  Ever)'  time  they  saw  each 
other,  the  old  argument  was  (Continued  on  page  79)

OUT  of  the  Treasure  Chest  that  is  my  and  your  radio 
comes  another  notable  program.  It  is  called  the  Swift 
Hour,  and  it  presents  to  every  son  and  daughter  of  Uncle 
Sam  an  "open  sesame"  to  life  made  fuller  and  more 
beautifuC. 

At  the  risk  of  seeming  sophomoric  in  my  enthusiasm, 
I  want  to  call  attention  again  to  the  richness  of  the  fare 
that  rides  the  airwaves  these  winter  nights.  I  want  to  call 
attention,  too,  to  the  magic  of  the  men — scientists  whose 
complex  gadgets  propel  beauty  and  inspiration  to  the 
earth's  oddest  corners.  Art  and  science  now  come  hand 
in  hand  to  our  parlors,  and  I  for  one  shall  never  cease 
marveling. 

I  shall  never  cease  marveling,  for  instance,  at  the  miracle 
of  the  Dakota  farmer  and  the  Florida  fruit-grower  having 
at  their  fingertips  the  voice  and  music  of  such  a  master 


as  Sigmund  Romberg.  "Music  by  Romberg"  has  long  been 
a  magic  phrase  in  the  skyscraper  canyons  of  Manhattan. 
For  a  decade,  New  Yorkers  have  paid  high  prices  to  listen 
to  his  "New  Moon,"  "Desert  Song"  and  "Student  Prince." 
But  to  most  of  the  rest  of  the  world,  his  works  have  come 
by  "second-hand." 

The  Saturday  evening  Swift  Hour  has  changed  that. 
It  gives  us  Sigmund  Romberg  and  Dr.  William  Lyon  Phelps, 
famous  Yale  professor  and  student  of  life,  as  co-members 
of  as  friendly  and  effective  a  radio  team  as  these  ears 
have  yet  heard.  It  gives  us  rich  and  understandable  music 
written  by  the  masters  of  all  time,  climaxed  each  week  by 
an  original  number  composed  especially  for  radio  by 
Sigmund  Romberg  himself. 

These  two  men,  masters  of  their  craft,  have  added  much 
to  the  joy  of  listening.  With  their  talents,  they  embellish 
this  newest  form  of  entertainment,  making  radio  even  richer 
and  finer.  With  their  fellow  entertainers,  they  deliver  to 
us  each  Saturday  evening  at  eight  o'clock  EST  a  musical 
tonic  for  tired  business  men  and  mothers  alike. 

Because  of  this,  RADIO  STARS  Magazine  presents 
to  Sigmund  Romberg  and  his  distinguished  associates  this 
month's  RADIO  STARS  Award  for  Distinguished  Service 
to  Radio.

AT  sixty,  Nellie  Revell,  mother  of  two  grown 
daughters  and  grandmother  of  an  eighteen-year- 
old  granddaughter,  is  alive  and  on|  the  air  today, 
because  she  had  the  courage  to  fight  with  death 
and  the  spirit  to  laugh  at  it. 

For  five  long  years  the  Grim  Reaper  was  ever  by  her 
side,  through  every  tortured  and  agony-scarred  moment, 
Nellie  laughed. 

If  you  have  heard  part  of  her  story  before,  don't 
stop  me,  for  it  is  the  magnificent  saga  of  a  magnificent 
woman  and   every  single  word  of   it   bears  retelling. 

Nellie  won't  like  this 
story,  for  she  hates  to 
be  painted  as  a  hero- 
ine. Once  she  said, 
"Every  letter  I  have 
received,  telling  me 
how  courageous  I  was, 
has  made  me  hang  my 
head  in  shame.  I  am 
not  the  Pollyanna  that 
many  people  have  called 
me.  The  biggest  coward 
in  the  world  would  fight 
for  his  own  life,  and 
that  was  all  I  did." 

You  have  had  your 
share  of  bad  luck,  you 
think.  Perhaps  all  your 
savings  were  wiped  out 
with  the  depression. 
Perhaps  you  lost  a 
dearly  loved  one.  Per- 
haps you  have  known 
pain  and  suffering  that 
made  you  cry  out  in 
agony. 

Well,  all  these  things 
happened  to  Nellie 
Revell.  Her  life's  sav- 
ings were  wiped  out  by 
an  unlucky  investment. 
They  brought  her  news 
that  her  son  had  died 
at  the  Front.  It  was 
then  Nellie  Revell,  who 
had  always  been  so 
brave  under  all  the 
rains  of  misfortune, 
who  had  taken  every- 
thing that  life  handed 
her  with  a  grin,  col- 
lapsed. It  was  no  mo- 
mentary thing,  but  the 
result  of  a  malady  that 
had  been  growing 
steadily  worse  for 
years,  a  tubercular 
spine.  Nellie  didn't 
know  that,  of  course. 

All  she  knew  was  that  a  thousand  devils  racked  her 

body. 

Friends  told  her  that  she  must  go  to  a  hospital,  and 
she,  who  had  always  been  a  great  newspaper  woman  and 
a  "famous  press  agent,  who  had  been  part  and  parcel  of 
the  glittering  life  of  Times  Square,  was  trundled  away 
in  an  ether  ambulance. 

The  ambulance  dashed  madly  on  its  way,  narrowly 
missing  this  pillar  and  that  post,  almost  crashing  into 
cars.  The  Grim  Reaper's  icy  breath  blew  upon  Nellie 
Revell. 

Then  dimly,  as  out  of  a  distant  fog,  she  heard  one  of 
the  nurses  saying,  "The  last  time  we  went  down  to  the 
52 


hospital,  we  bumped  into  a  pillar  and  almost  killed  the 
patient  before  we  could  get  her  to  the  hospital/' 

And  Nellie  Revell,  a  quivering  mass  of  flesh,  laughed 
silently  to  herself.  "If  you  didn't  get  her  on  the  way 
there,  you'd  get  her  in  the  hospital,"  she  said.  She  was 
too  weak  to  speak  the  words  aloud,  but  to  herself  she 
spoke  them  and  laughed  within. 

They  took  her  to  St.  Vincent's 
and  put  her  in  a  plaster  of  Paris 
cast.  When  she  recovered  con- 
sciousness and  found  herself  flat

on  her  back,  she  moved  her  right  arm  across  the  smooth 
plaster  casing  and  laughed,  "So  this  is  Paris!" 

The  months  that  followed  were  trying  ones  for  Nellie 
Revell.  Accustomed  all  her  life  to  earning  her  livelihood 
by  trouping  through  every  darn  state  in  the  union,  never 
having  known  before  what  it  meant  to  ask  for  help, 
Nellie  Revell  couldn't  even  turn  from  side  to  side  now 
unless  a  nurse  turned  her.  Never  had  she  known  what 
it  meant  to  be  licked.  Now  for  the  first  time  she  was 
helpless  in  the  grip  of  a  malady  she  couldn't  understand. 
In  all  her  armory  she  had  only  two  weapons  with  which 
to  fight — courage  and  laughter. 

"What  in  the  world  have  you  got  to  laugh  at?"  her 


friends  asked,  voices  choked  and  eyes  misty  with  tears. 

Had  she  told  them  the  truth,  she  might  have  said,  "If 
I  don't  laugh.  I  may  cry,  arid  whatever  happens,  I'm  not 
going  to  whimper." 

All  her  life  Nellie  had  found  it  easy  to  laugh.  Why. 
she'd  even  been  kicked  out  of  school  for  laughing  in  the 
midst  of  a  serious  lesson.  Now  for  the  first  time  in  her 
life,  she  had  to  look  around  for  things  at  which  to  laugh. 
When  her  pain  and  agony  grew  overwhelming,  she  told 
herself.  "I'll  take  the  blackest  thing  that  happens  each 
dav  and  turn  it  into  a  laugh.    I'll  look  at  it  sunny  side 

They  put  her  into  even,*  kind  of  surgical  corset  and 


she  laughed.  They  strapped  her  in  leather  and  iron 
braces.  While  the  mixture  was  soft,  they  put  her  on  a 
bed  of  mortar,  which  had  to  be  built  around  a  core, 
which  was  Nellie.  When  it  dried  it  held  her  more  rigidly 
than  iron  gates.   She  laughed. 

One  dav  Dr.  Adolph  I-orenz.  the  Viennese  specialist, 
came  to  visit  Nellie  Revell.  While  he  was  there,  someone 
said  something  amusing,  and  Nellie  laughed.  Dr.  Lorenz 
frowned.  "Do  you  realize,"  he  asked  solemnly,  '  that  even- 
time  you  laugh,  you  keep  your  bones  from  knitting  to- 
gether again?   Stop  laughing,  if  you  want  to  get  well." 

They  had  taken  out  Nellie's  teeth,  they  had  taken  out 
her  tonsils,  they  had  operated  on  {Continued  on  page  70)

Betty  Borden,  the  first 
unknown  guest. 


IT'S  a  cold  Wednesday  evening.    A  studio  in  Radio 
City  is  bubbling  with  excitement.    Standing  beside 
the  sensitive  mike,  awaiting  that  familiar  ''on  the 
air"  signal  stands  the  handsome  Lanny  Ross.  His 
"Lanny's  Log  Cabin  Inn"  is  about  to  warm  the  winter 
air. 

A  minute  passes.  Harry  Salter  raises  his  little  black 
baton.  Lanny  clears  his  throat.  The  lights  fade.  A 
wave  of  the  hand  from  the  control  booth  starts  the 
entertainment  for  which  you  and  I,  lounging  in  our 
own  parlors,  have  been  waiting. 

Already  thousands  have  written  their  praise  of  the 
program.  Some  say  Lanny  sings  better  than  ever  before. 
The  program  is  congratulated  upon  its  gesture  to  little 
known  yet  talented  and  deserving  artists  who  are  given 
a  break  on  this  program. 

Few  people  know  the  real  inside  story  behind  this 
program.  They  haven't  heard  how  it  threw  aside  all 
54 


rules  of  broadcasting.  It  is  my  pleasure  to  tell  that  story 
here  for  the  first  time. 

Xot  so  many  years  ago,  Lanny  Ross  was  what  some 
of  us  call  "just  another  singer."  Yes,  he  was  good,  but 
so  were  hundreds  of  others.  His  name  was  unknown. 
When  the  Maxwell  House  Coffee  Company  decided  to 
put  Show  Boat  on  the  air,  its  representatives  heard 
Lanny  and  hired  him. 

That  was  over  two  years  ago.  As  the  program  grew, 
Lanny  grew.  Or  perhaps  we  should  say,  as  Lanny  grew 
the  program  grew.  In  that  short  space  of  time  his  name 
became  as  welcome  to  housewives  and  young  girls  and 
college  boys  as  the  call  to  dinner  in  the  ears  of  a  hungry 
youngster. 

All  of  a  sudden  it  dawned  upon  the  hard-hearted  souls 
of  Broadway  that  this  fellow  Lanny  Ross  had  to  be 
watched.  They  couldn't  ignore  him  any  longer.  He 
wouldn't  let  them,  for  he  was  playing  on  the  stages  of

aig  Xew  York  theatres,  touring  in  vaudeville,  not  as 
'just  another  singer,"  but  as  the  headliner,  and  Holly- 
wood was  making  screen  tests  and  hunting  stories  for 
lim.  Broadcastland  called  him  one  of  its  "big  names." 
Thousands  of  fans  were  writing  to  him  each  week. 

Over  on  Park  Avenue,  where  are  located  the  offices  of 
Maxwell  House  Coffee  and  its  parent  company,  General 
Foods,  they  chuckled.  "You're  surprised?"  they  said. 
"Well,  we're  not.  We  expected  it." 

It  was  this  faith  which  gave  Lanny  his  new  program. 

In  September,  when  Log  Cabin  Syrup  wanted  a  radio 
program,  its  representatives  didn't  have  to  look  far  for 
talent.  On  Park  Avenue  they  had  a  conference.  Out 
in  Hollywood,  Lanny  was  unaware  of  the  goings-on. 
They  rushed  a  message  from  New  York  to  Hollywood. 
V\  e  want  you  to  be  the  star  of  our  new  radio  program." 

The  first  two  fundamental  rules  of  broadcasting  were 
broken.    Whoever  heard  of  signing  an  artist  without 


first  having  a  special  audition?  Whoever  heard  of  spon- 
sors asking  for  artists  when  it  is  usually  the  artist  who 
goes  after  the  sponsor?  But  General  Foods,  also  the 
parent  company  of  Log  Cabin  Syrup,  knew  Lanny  could 
do  it.    So  why  bother  about  a  lot  of  silly  rules? 

Even  then  you'd  think  the  sponsors  who  were  paying 
thousands  of  dollars  for  a  program  would  like  to  hear 
it  once  before  it  went  on  the  air.  Or  watch  a  dress  re- 
hearsal. That's  a  rule  as  old  as  Rip  Van  Winkle's  whis- 
kers. But  in  this  case,  the  sponsors  were  in  Xew  York 
and  Lanny  was  in  Hollywood.  They  could,  of  course, 
have  found  a  way  to  get  arou.id  this.  But  another  rule 
was  thrown  where  most  rules  belong — in  the  waste- 
basket.  Again  their  faith  in  Lanny  gave  them  the  con- 
fidence that  the  show  would  be  good,  whatever  it  might 
be. 

In  the  meantime,  not  to  interfere  with  I^anny's  picture 
work,  his  sponsors  sent  four  {Continued  on  page  97)

Lawrence  Tibbett  as  intimates  know  him 


SING  U 


TO  LEARN  to  sing  well  you  must  learn  to  live ! 

Here's  a  lesson  for  every  girl  and  boy  who  has  an 
ambition,  a  yen  to  sing,  every  man  and  woman  who 
secretly  dreams  of  some  day  standing  behind  the  foot- 
lights, a  dazzling  operatic  star,  applauded  by  the  hands 
of  the  world. 

For  one.  who  has  reached  this  desired  musical  mecca, 
burningly  believes  this  theory  to  be  true.  I  speak  of 
Lawrence  Tibbett,  who  has  risen  from  a  country  boy  who 
delivered  milk  for  ten  cents  a  day  to  be  a  leading  star 
in  the  operatic  firmament,  a  glamorous  figure  in  the  great- 
est opera  house  on  earth — the  Metropolitan. 

Lawrence  Tibbett  told  me :  "I  honestly  believe  that 
unless  you've  had  intense  life  experience  you  can't  give  it 
in  your  art.  To  learn  to  sing  superlatively,  you  must  live 
colorfully." 

As  the  singer  said  these  words,  as  we  sat  in  his  beautiful 
East  Side  apartment  overlooking  the  river,  my  mind  re- 
verted quickly  to  the  colorful  panorama  of  Tibbett's 
existence.  I  thought  that  indeed  I  knew  his  life  proved 
his  theory,  but  nevertheless  I  asked  him  to  point  out 
definite  instances  to  me  which  showed  that  he  himself 
really  had  "lived."  That  he'd  led  the  colorful  existence 
he  believed  necessary  for  a  great  artist. 

In  reply  Mr.  Tibbett  spoke  first  of  his  financial  struggle

— his  battie  of  years  to  emerge  from  his  poverty.  All  1 
experiences  in  this  regard,  Tibbett  believes  enriched  l] 
life,  "though  like  Al  Smith  I  may  be  over-sentimen 
about  my  childhood,"  he  said  smilingly.  As  he  sat  in  l| 
gorgeous  study  with  white  leather  furniture  and  lo; 
silver  leaves  on  the  piano,  Tibbett  spoke  of  the  days  hi 
fried  doughnuts  for  a  living,  of  the  time  he'd  set  pins  i 
a  bowling-alley  for  pennies,  of  how  he  knew  the  sensatii 
of  being  tipped  twenty-five  cents  and  being  glad  to  jt 
the  money,  of  the  time  he'd  coaxed  the  dimes  by  picki; 
grapes,  by  milking  cows,  by  riding  horseback  ten  miles  I 
the  mail.  Mr.  Tibbett  believes  that  all  this  gave  hin  I 
wider  sympathy,  that  it  was  emotionally  intensifying,  ai 
he  insists  that  because  of  the  breadth  of  his  experier  . 
when  he  comes  to  a  good  high  note  now  he  knows  e 
meaning  of  it! 

So,  if  like  Lawrence  Tibbett  your  pockets  are  not  hid 
with  gold,  take  courage  in  your  vocal  ambitions. 

Lawrence  Tibbett  laughed  a  little  and  with  great  chaiu 
when  he  came  to  another  phase  of  his  life  that  he  *■ 
lieves  made  it  a  full  one — shall  we  call  this  phase  his  l>e 
life?  The  singer  honestly  believes  that  an  artist  m>t 
always  be  in  love.  "It's  a  necessary  state  of  mind  foa 
singer,"  he  affirmed  smilingly.  "Fortunate,  indeed,  is* 
who  finds  one  to  adore,  but  if  he  can't  discover  his  kil

ady  Fair  in  one  individual,  I  believe  he  is  perfectly 
■stified  in  falling  in  love  often." 

It  took  a  great  many  years  and  a  great  many  heartaches 
fore  Lawrence  Tibbett  found  the  one  true  Juliet  of  his 
'art  and  in  the  meantime  he  exercised  the  privilege  of 
ying  constantly  with  the  tender  passion.  Indeed,  his 
rst  youthful  love  affair  started  when  he  was  nine  and  the 
'ject  of  his  affections  was,  alas,  thirteen!  Like  most 
notional  passages  at  that  age  it  was  a 
bry  hopeless  affair  indeed  for  young 
ibbett !  He  recovered,  however,  and  at 
lurteen  fell  deeply  and  despairingly  in 
>ve  again.  He  loved  her  but  she 
.loved  away — to  Chicago.  Tibbett  told 
ie  that  he  remembers  as  though  it 
ere  yesterday  how  he  saved  the  great 
im  of  ten  dollars  with  arduous  labor,  by  delivering  on  a 
"cycle  for  a  printing  firm,  so  that  he  could  buy  the  Loved 
'ne  a  gift.  It  was  a  bracelet,  which  he  brought  to  her 
ith  pride  and  an  overflowing  heart.  Tibbett  believes  his 
clings  at  the  time  were  not  less  intense  than  those  later 
[notions  which  resulted  more  importantly  when  he  led 
is  final  Isolde  to  the  altar.  He  is  not  sorry  for  any  of 
Js  amours  for  "If  you  live  intensely  you  live  longer," 
ibbett  laughed.    "If  I  must  die  I'd  rather  die  from

indigestion   than   starvation."   He   is   always  extreme. 

Well,  young  Lawrence's  next  love  affair  was  in  high 
school  when  he  adored  Maude  Howell,  who  was  then  his 
teacher:  and  his  next  lady  love  after  that  was  a  niece  of 
Edmund  Lowe.    The  following  affair  d'amour  ended  in 
temporary  wedding  bells  when  young  Lawrence  at  twenty- 
one  married  Grace  Mackay  Smith  who  had  for  several 
years  boarded  with  his  mother.    As  most  people  know, 
this  marriage  was  not  a  happy  one.  but 
when  I  asked  Mr.  Tibbett  to  tell  of  his 
romances  between  his  first  and  his  sec- 
ond marriage,  he  replied,  with  a  twinkle 
in  his  eyes.  "Of  course  you  know  that  I 
should  not  say  .that  I  had  many  ro- 
mances in  between,  that  I'm  ashamed  of 
none  of  them,  that  they  were  all  bril- 
liant and  glorious; — I  shouldn't  say  this,  but  it's  true." 

In  January,  1932,  Lawrence  married  Mrs.  Jennie  Mars- 
ton  Burgard.  a  society  girl  who  loved  the  arts — and 
Tibbett.  She  had  several  sons  by  a  previous  marriage, 
Tibbett  himself  had  two.  and  together  the  couple  have 
one  baby  of  their  very  own,  Michael  Tibbett.  whom  his 
father  says  is  the  most  wonderful  baby  in  the  world.  The

AND  so,  good  night,  boys  and  girls  from 
eight  to  eighty.  Next  Wednesday  night  I 
will  bring  you  another  fascinating  story 
behind  a  stamp." 
Thus  does  Captain  Tim  Healy,  world  traveler 
and  lecturer,  and  one  of  the  leading  authorities 
on  stamp  collecting,  bid  adieu  to  the  fastest  grow- 
ing club  in  existence,  a  club  whose  membership 
increases  by  thousands  each  week,  every  single 
member  newly  captivated  by  what  Captain  Tim 
terms  the  "fascinating  story  behind  the  stamp." 

What  is  this  fascination  in  collecting  stamps? 
Is  it  a  kid's  game  which  mothers  must  pa- 
tiently bear  with  until  their  children 
get  over  the  craze  as  they  event- 
ually get  over  measles,  mumps 
and  playing  Indian?  If  so, 
how  then  do  you  account 
for  the  fact  that  there 
are   over  9,000,000 
stamp  collectors  in 
the  United  States 
alone,    as  esti- 
mated by  Post- 
master General

numbered 
kings,  presi- 
dents, states- 
men, men  and 
women  promi- 
nent   in  public 
life?  Why  then  is 
a  single  stamp,  a 
tiny  bit  of  colored 
paper  that  you  your- 
self might  have  stepped 
up  to  a  post  office  window 
and  bought  originally  for 
one  cent,  valued  at  $50,000? 
Surely  there  must  be  a  reason  why 
such  tremendous  sums  of  money  are 
represented  by  a  bit  of  magenta  paper  with  a  pic- 
ture and  some  words  printed  on  it. 

That  Captain  Tim  was  qualified  to  point  out 
those  reasons  has  been  clearly  and  undisputedly 
evidenced  by  the  fact  that  in  the  few  short  months 
he  has  conducted  the  Ivory  Stamp  Club,  he  has 
won  a  half  million  new  converts  to  this  hobby 
and  raised  the  total  number  of.  stamp  collectors 
from  9.000,000  to  9,500,000.  Those  are  big  figures ! 

Fifty  thousand  dollars  for  a  one  cent  stamp! 
An  increase  in  value  of  5,000,000  per  cent!  Had 
the  scientists  of  the  middle  ages  found  the  secret 
of  alchemy,  they  would  not  have  achieved  such  a 


9,000,000 
people  can't 
be  crazy 


gain'     Yet  there  is  a  stamp  of  British  Guia 
known  as  the  "one  cent  magenta,"  because  of 
color,  which  is  held  for  sale  in  England  by  t 
widow  of  a  noted  collector  named  Scala.  Philat 
ists    from   all   corners   of   the   globe   have  1 
against  one  another  for  the  prize.    The  "one  a 
magenta,"  is  the  only  known  specimen  of  its  kind 
existence  though  there  may  be  another,  or  ev  ? 
several  others  somewhere  among  a  musty  pile  ] 
letters  stored  away  in  grandmother's  attic. 

Not  only  rarity  makes  a  penny  stamp,  of  gr< 
value.    Mistakes    often    have    created  philatt 
fortunes,  because  stamps  bearing  faulty  d; 
are  prized  by  collectors.  "You  nei 
know  when  a  fortune  might 
lying   around    your  o\ 
home,"   Captain  Tim 
fond  of  saying.  A  case 
point  is  the  story  of  i 
office  boy  who  in  IS  I 
purchased   for  I 
employer  a  sb: 
of     twenty-fc 1 
cent    air   it  lj 
stamps.  The  a  • 
planes  were  t -A 
side  down.  ]-n

them    to  i>i 
post  office, 
boy  showed 
oddity  tci 
friend  who  h 
pened  to  be  i 
stamp    collect . 
He,    of    coui , 
recognized  the  va : 
of     the  find 
bought  the  sheet 
twenty-four  dollars,    t  i 
resold  them  for  $20,() 
and  todav  they  are  valued  t 
$250,000.    There  is  no  record  f 
whether  or  not  the  friend  split  with  : 
office  boy,  but  he  certainly  became  a  collect . 

Even  without  the  enhancement  in  value  whi 
comes  with  rarity,  canny  investors,  versed  in  sta ) 
lore,  frequently  utilize  them  for  investment  p  - 
poses.  A  friend  of  Captain  Tim's,  for  examj . 
withdrew  his  savings  during  the  banking  debae 
of  the  late  depression  and  bought  $12,000  woi 
of  stamps,  not  from  collectors,  but  right  fn 
windows  of  post  offices.  He  resold  them  this  yr 
for  $30,000.  Unlike  a  lot  of  optimists,  who  bef  e 
October,  1929,  made  a  hobby  of  collecting  ha:- 
somely  engraved  stock  certificates  and  bonds,  yr 
stamp  collector,  tiring  of  his  collection,  can  usu;* 


a  in  and  at  least  get  his  money  back,  if  not  a 
>rit.  "You  can't  say  that  for  the  average  hobby," 
J;  tain  Tim  points  out,  which  is  only  too  true. 

owever,  stamp  collecting  is,  first  and  foremost, 
i  ibby,  and  to  the  real,  dyed-in-the-wool  collector, 
Ji  thought  of  profiting  financially  never  occurs, 
rihim,  the  collection  comes  first.  It's  the  fun  of 
h  thing;  he  works  for  the  reward  of  happy, 
)1  sant  hours  that  his  collection  brings  him.  Those 
icrs  are  yours  for  the  asking.

Taptain  Tim's  favorite  adventure  story,  how- 
er,  deals  with  the  use  to  which  spies  put  stamps 
c"  ing  the  war.  Captain  Tim,  who  served  in  the 
1  tish  Intelligence  Department,  because  of  his 
Inwledge  of  stamps,  was  able  to  ferret  out  secret 
ants  who  brought  that  unique  method  of 
c  nmunication,  hitherto  reserved  for  the  use 
c  lovers,  into  the  open,  and  apprehended  the 
ses. 

'We  found  many  spy  codes  made  up  of  stamps," 
I  related.  "You  see,  for  one  thing  stamp  dealers 
|  all  nationalities,  because  they  have  been  accus- 
t  ned  to  going  from  country  to  country,  were  able 


to  pass  borders  without  attracting  undue  suspicion. 
They  devised  various  codes,  some  depending  on 
the  color  arrange  nents  of  the  sheets  of  stamps 
which  they  pretended  were  their  wares,  others  using 
the  first  letter  of  the  name  of  the  country  printed 
on  the  stamp,  or  in  some  cases  the  inscription  on 
the  stamp  itself.  Spies  who  used  stamps  for  com- 
munication were  most  difficult  to  catch,  because 
the  evidence  against  them  was  so  innocent  appearing 
save  to  a  practised  eye." 

Perhaps  you  are  a  sports  enthusiast?  Then 
there  is  for  you  a  pictured  history  of  sports  in 
which,  as  a  stamp  collector,  you  may  specialize, 
combining  your  interest  in  sports  with  your 
new  interest  as  a  philatelist.  With 
the  revival  of  the  Olympic  games, 
it  became  a  practise  for  the

memorative  stamps.  In 
1924  Hungary's  set

sports  such  as 
football,  skiing, 
skating,  diving, 
fencing,     e  t  c, 
which  sold  for

The  profit  was

Since  that  time

American  issue,  which  re-

If  you  were  a  parent,  confronted 
with  the  oft-recurring  problem  of  making 
your  child's  studies  interesting,  you  will  achieve  a 
double  end  by  encouraging  his  stamp  collection. 
First  you  will  present  to  him,  in  a  form  that  he 
will  find  enthralling,  history,  geography,  botany, 
zoology  and  even  industry  of  all  the  countries  of 
the  world.    More  important,  you  will  have  found  a 
common  interest  with  him  that  will  make  a  closer 
bond  of  understanding  between  you. 

The  collection  of  stamps  has  its  lighter  side ;  your 
stamp  collector  need  not  be  one  of  those  pedants 
who  considers  laughter  frivolous.  He  can  tell  you,

the  dollar  issue  for  the  1898  Omaha  exposition,  a  stamp 
was  issued  bearing  the  inscription  "Western  Cattle  in 
Storm,"  the  idea  being  to  represent  the  huge  cattle  indus- 
try of  the  United  States  and  the  broad  reaches  of  the 
western  prairies.  That  was  fine — until  it  was  discovered 
that  the  engraving  on  the  stamp's  face  had  been  taken 
from  a  famous  engraving  titled  "Highland  Cattle  in 
Storm,"  and  that  the  cattle  were  Scottish  and  the 
"prairies"  thousands  of  miles  from  the  American  west.  It 
remained  for  Turkey,  however,  to  pull  the  prize  philatelic 
boner  of  all  time.  So  optimistic  was  she  about  her  con- 
quest of  Egypt  during  the  World  War  that  she  issued  a 
stamp  showing  the  pyramids.  When  Turkey  was  herself 
conquered  by  the  Allies,  the  blow  to  her  pride,  which  was 
contained  in  the  constant  reminder  of  the  stamp  flaunted 
in  her  face,  made  the  defeat  doubly  bitter. 

Since  stamps  first  came  into  general  use  ninety  years 
ago,  nations  have  used  them  for  miniature  bill  posters  to 
advertise  their  beauties,  their  industries  and  their  historic 
feats.  It  is  this  last  feature  that  causes  the  general  im- 
pression that  stamps  have  been  in  use  much  longer  than 
a  century.  Stamps  are  often  used  to  attract  tourists.  In 
1926,  for  example,  Newfoundland  won  thousands  of  visi- 

60 


tors  by  a  special  issue  showing  the  charms  of  its  sceiy 
and  its  fisheries.  The  National  Parks  stamps  issuei  n 
the  United  States  just  last  summer,  showing  the  Gi  id 
Canyon,  the  sights  of  the  Yellowstone  and  similar  sc  ic 
beauties  were  designed  to  serve  the  same  purpose.  ie 
issue  met  with  such  success  that  all  the  stamps  have  11 
sold  out  except  the  fives  and  higher  denominations.  Sc  e- 
times,  nations'  stamps  sound  as  though  they  had  beene- 
signed  by  a  press  agent,  so  blatant  are  their  blurbs,  n 
1898,  a  Canadian  stamp  boasted  "We  hold  a  vaster  em  re 
than  has  ever  been,"  but  little  Guatemala  went  her  ie 
better  and  made  a  bid  for  trade  with  a  stamp  that 
the  world  "Our  coffee  is  the  best  in  the  world." 

You  have  heard  of  the  tirelessly  patient  genius 
engraved  Lincoln's  Gettysburg  address  on  the  head  1  a 
pin — and  those  who  beheld  his  handiwork  said  pointcy, 
"So  what?"  Then  consider  how  vastly  more  is  writte  1 
these  inch  squares  of  paper.  Whole  histories  of  civi  a- 
tions,  of  nations,  of  man's  progress  in  the  arts  id 
sciences,  of  love  and  hatred,  and  of  romance.  Small  \m 
der  that  to  those  who  have  been  lured  by  this  fascim  1 
pastime,  stamp  collecting  is,  emphatically,  no  mere  "I  Is 
game."  It's  a  game  that  keeps  one  forever  a  kid !

Charles  Previn  and  the 
Countess  Albani,  who 
sings  with  his  orchestra. 


HAVEN'T  YOU  often  read  stories  about  husbandless 
air  divas  and  screen  queens,  aspiring  to  have  babies? 
But  do  you  recall  a  single  instance  of  an  unmarried  king 
of  the  kilocycles,  wanting  to  be  a  daddy? 

Yet  Charles  Previn,  the  dashing  and  debonair  orchestra 
leader  of  NBC's  Sunday  night  Silken 
Strings  hour,  if  he  has  his  way,  may 
soon  become  radioland's  first  bachelor 
father. 

Perhaps,  it  sounds  like  a  press  agent 
yarn,  this  story  of  an  A.B.  from  Cornell, 
who  gave  up  professoring  to  pound  a 
piano  in  Tin  Pan  Alley,  became  con- 
ductor of  a  series  of  Broadway  musicals, 
wielded  the  baton  at  St.  Louis'  world-famous  summer 
opera  for  five  years  and  is  now  searching  for  a  son.  A 
small  boy  on  whom  he  may  lavish  all  the  love  and  luxury 
of  which  an  Ace  of  the  Air  is  capable.  But  it  isn't.  And 
I'll  tell  you  why. 

Lunching  with  him  the  other  day  in  the  stately  mid- 
Victorian  dining  room  of  the  Medinah  Athletic  Club  in 
Chicago,  where  he  resides,  the  conversation  veered  nat- 
urally to  a  discussion  of  a  story  in  the  morning  news-

Windy  City's  packingtown  princesses  and  her  wealthy 
broker  husband  were  seeking  twins  to  adopt. 

"I  don't  believe  I  would  want  to  adopt  twins,"  thought-

"No,  I  wouldn't  think  you  would 
either,"  a  third  person  at  the  luncheon 
table  cheerfully  jeered.  "Even  half  a 
twin  would  be  one  too  many  for  a 
bachelor." 

"Why  do  you  say  that?"  demanded 
Maestro  Previn.  annoyed,  and,  before 
the  other  could  explain,  he  began  giving

GREETINGS,  friends  and  Radio  fans. 
The  other  day  I  heard  that  when  the  Hoover 
Company  decided  to  do  a  special  Christmas  pro- 
gram the  question  of  a  guest  artist  arose.  Many 
Radio  stars  were  discussed  as  possibilities  until  the 
moment  when  one  inspired  soul  suggested  Madame 
Schumann-Heink ! 

"Why  of  course!"  they  cried  as  one  man  (my  sleuths 
inform  me).  "She's  just  the  person  to  typify  the  Holiday 
spirit  of  'peace  and  good  will.'  "  And 
so  it  was  decided. 

That's  how  it  happens  that  when 
you  listen  in  on  that  program  the 
Sunday  before  Christmas  you  will  be 
privileged  to  hear  Madame  Schumann- 
Heink  singing  Yuletide  songs  and 
giving  you  a  Christmas  message  in  her 
rich  sympathetic  contralto  voice. 

Far  be  it  from  me  to  boast,  gentle 
listeners,  but  I  had  the  very  same  idea 
as  the  Hoover  people  long  ago !  When 
I  wanted  someone  as  guest  star  for 
this  Holiday  program  of  mine,  there 
was  no  other  person  I  considered  for  a  moment.  Madame 
Schumann-Heink  it  must  be!  And  I  am  pleased  to  say, 
Madame  Schumann-Heink  it  was! 


that — but  it's  going  to  take  a  whole  article  and  four 
recipe  cards  to  tell  you  of  the  wonderful  foods  I  learned 
about  during  the  course  of  our  conversation.  And  some 
place,  somehow,  I  want  to  sandwich  in  a  little  description 
of  Madame's  geniality,  homely  philosophy  and  charm. 
Of  course  when  it  comes  to  charm  I  suppose  I  should 
leave  that  to  the  beauty  editor,  but  it  is  so  much  a  part 
of  this  dear  diva  that  I  want  a  chance,  just  this  once,  to 
stop  talking  of  the  things  that  go  into  making  a  good 
meal,  to  speak  of  the  things  that 
go  into  making  a  lovely  woman ! 
And  that  is  what  Madame  Schu- 
mann-Heink typifies — womanhood 
at  its  finest — mother,  grandmother 
and  great  -  grandmother,  prima 
donna,  artiste,  and  now  at  the 
age  of  seventy-three  (she  actually 
boasts  of  her  age)  one  of  the  best 
known  and  certainly  one  of  the 
best  beloved  stars  of  the  air. 

At  the  advanced  age  of  over 
three  score  years  and  ten.  when 
most  women  feel  that  life  lies 
behind  them  as  one  long  dreary  vista,  Madame  Schumann- 
Heink  talks  with  pride  of  the  past  and  plans  ambitious 
things  for  the  future.     Furthermore  she  executes  her

The  Girl  Behind  the  Men  Behind  the  Mike 


If  you  want  to  speak  well  in  public 
you  must  learn  to  keep  your  ears  clean. 
Clean  for  good  speech.  You  must  learn 
to  listen  to  folks  who  know  how  to  speak. 
But  most  important,  to  yourself.  Yes, 
boys  and  girls,  you  must  learn  to  listen 
to  yourself  speak.  Sounds  easy,  but  it's 
one  of  the  hardest  things  in  the  world  to 
do. 

Daily  over  the  NBC  announcers  Yida 
cracked  the  whip  in  order  to  instruct 
them  in  this  most  difficult  art.  She  made 
phonograph  records  of  their  speech  over 
the  air.  And  hearing  themselves  over 
the  wax  did  much  to  teach  them  what  their 
faults  were. 

One  of  the  announcers,  she  told  me, 
had  a  smug,  puffed-up  way  of  speaking. 
She  said  to  him:  "I  hesitate  to  tell 
you  what's  wrong  with  your  speech.  It 
may  offend  you.  But  I'm  going  to  make 
a  record  of  your  voice  when  you're  on 
the  air.  Maybe,  after  hearing  yourself  as 
others  hear  you,  you  will  get  the  point." 

The  next  day,  before  the  class,  she 
played  the  record  she  had  made.  The 
class  listened,  got  the  point,  snickered — 
but  the  smug  one  only  glowed  and  finally 
remarked  with  a  sigh:  "Perfect,  just  per- 
fect isn't  it?"  That  was  one  member  of 
the  class  who  won  no  prizes.  Miss  Sut- 
ton said  no  more  to  him. 

Other  students,  however,  were  less  dif- 
ficult. Alwyn  Bach,  for  instance,  was  in- 
tensely interested  in  the  mechanics  and 
science  of  speech  and  made  one  of  her  best 
students.  One  announcer,  now  famous, 
had  a  way  of  pronouncing  certain  words 
a  la  Coolidge.  He  said  mound  for  round. 
staout  for  stout,  etc.  He  heard  the  record, 
got  the  point,  corrected  his  style  and  won 
the  diction  prize. 

Another  prize  winner  bore  down,  Ger- 
man fashion,  on  his  ing  endings,  pronounc- 
ing singing,  sing-irigha,  thinking,  think- 
ingha,  etc.  The  error  was  barely  percepti- 
ble to  any  but  the  trained  ear.  He  heard 
the  record,  listened  to  himself,  wiped  out 
the  fault. 

But  her  great  contribution  to  the  an- 
nouncers was  her  criticisms  of  their  work. 
The  day  after  they  had  been  on  the  air — 
each  would  receive  a  neatly  typewritten 
memorandum  listing  their  faults.  We  may 
have  thought  the  announcement  flawless. 


(Continued  from  paye  37) 

but  not  so.  Vida.   She  catches  all  slips. 

Yida  Sutton  herself  has  a  remarkably 
flexible  voice.  In  addition  to  speaking  sev- 
eral foreign  tongues,  she  knows  and  can 
reproduce  several  hundred  American  dia- 
lects. She  learned  them  by  traveling  to 
the  corners  of  the  country,  by  taking  phono- 
graph records  of  the  speech  of  the  in- 
habitants. Ask  her  and  at  a  moment's 
notice  she  will  talk  like  an  Alabama 
gullah  negro,  like  a  Tennessee  hillbilly, 
like  a  Wisconsin  logger,  like  a  Cape  Cod 
Cabot. 

Speech  training  was  her  interest  when 
she  was  a  schoolgirl  in  Oakland,  Cali- 
fornia. It  stayed  with  her  through  col- 
lege in  Montana.  And  she  turned  to  it 
when  she  dropped  the  diploma  into  the 
trunk  and  faced  the  world.  It  took  her 
into  the  theatre  where  she  played  with 
Julia  Marlowe  and  Annie  Russell.  It 
led  her  into  play  writing  and  during  the 
war  a  play  of  hers  called  "Passport"  was 
banned  by  the  censors  because  it  contained 
the  following  line :  "A  woman  shouldn't 
marry  a  soldier — a  man  who  killed.'' 

She  still  writes  plays  and  produces  them 
on  her  own  program.  From  all  of  which, 
it  will  be  seen  that  Yida  Sutton  is  a 
real  trouper,  not  a  prissy  old  sister  with 
a  pitch-pipe  and  a  pointer. 

To  her  President  Roosevelt  is  the  per- 
fect speaker.  Clear,  precise,  informal, 
forceful.  She  likes  Will  Rogers  next  best 
because  of  his  naturalness  and  freedom. 
With  British  diction,  she  has  no  patience, 
for  to  her  it's  a  warped  and  clipped  speech, 
hard  on  the  ear,  hard  on  the  intelligence, 
much  too  stiff  and  distorted  for  any  self- 
respecting  radio  receiver.  She  says  the 
British  radio  authorities  agree  with  her. 
They  envy  the  clear  round  vigor  of  Ameri- 
can speech. 

The  first  essential,  according  to  this 
expert,  for  persons  seeking  an  entrance 
into  radio  is  a  definite  personality.  An 
honest,  well  outlined  character.  Remem- 
ber, you  can't  fool  a  microphone.  If 
you're  dishonest,  an  affected  person,  trying 
to  appear  something  you  are  not,  then 
stay  away  from  radio.  The  mike  will  find 
you  out.  It  has  been  her  experience  in 
examining  thousands  of  applicants  for  jobs 
as  announcers. 

A  second  qualification  is  a  low  pitched 


voice,  although  there  are  instances  where 
high  pitch  has  helped  an  applicant  make 
the  grade.  This  has  been  true  largely  for 
character  parts  in  dramatic  presentations. 

Other  qualities  which  help  are  clearness, 
freedom,  enthusiasm,  energy  and  a  drama- 
tic utterance.  Above  all,  if  your  voice 
is  warm  and  sympathetic,  you  may  consider 
yourself  endowed  sufficiently  to  undertake 
the  campaign  necessary  for  making  a  radio 
debut. 

Extremely  important  is  mastery  of  the 
art  of  reading.  Vida  Sutton  spent  a  great 
deal  of  time  teaching  announcers  how  to 
animate  dead  script  by  reading  it  in  their 
own  rhythm,  their  own  intonation  thus 
making  it  sound  informally  conventional. 

Always  truthful,  Miss  Sutton  does  not 
encourage  young  women  to  strive  for  jobs 
as  radio  announcers.  In  the  entire  coun- 
try, there  are  less  than  a  dozen  and  these 
for  local  stations.  For  the  networks 
there  is  only  one,  Claudine  MacDonald 
and  she  is  much  more  the  hostess  and 
mistress  of  ceremonies. 

Opportunities  for  women,  however,  are 
as  broad  as  radio  even  if  the  announcing 
field  seems  temporarily  closed.  In  the 
dramatic  field,  the  need  for  good,  inter- 
esting voices  is  constantly  growing.  There 
is  also  an  opportunity  of  even  larger  pro- 
portions in  the  writing,  producing  and  ex- 
ecutive field. 

This  clear-eyed,  keen-eared  woman  is 
slow  to  praise.  She  is  no  person  of 
rhapsodies.  But  she  is  fervent  in  her 
optimism  and  her  belief  in  what  radio 
has  already  accomplished  and  what  it  is 
going  to  accomplish.  It  has  made  us  ear 
conscious,  taught  us  to  listen.  And  through 
this  development  of  the  ear,  we  have 
learned  to  speak  better.  This  good  talk  is 
spreading  to  all  corners  of  the  country, 
creating  a  uniform  language,  eliminating 
dialects. 

The  standard  of  the  American  Academy 
of  Arts  and  Letters  is  a  sympathetic,  pre- 
cise, vigorous  speech  understandable  and 
acceptable  to  all  sections  of  the  country, 
yet  not  to  be  identified  with  any.  That's 
the  English  Yida  Sutton  teaches.  Her  four 
prize  winners  testify  to  that.  This  year 
another  duke  of  diction  will  be  named. 
We  shall  see  if  she  is  still  the  girl  behind 
the  men  behind  the  mike. 


A  RADIO  STARS*  ANNOUNCEMENT 


For  the  past  five  years,  the  American  Academy  of 
Arts  and  Letters  has  picked  and  honored  the  best 
radio  announcer  of  the  year.  Diction  and  delivery 
have  been  the  principle  factors  in  the  eyes  of  the 
judges.  Last  year,  you  will  recall,  the  honor  went  to 
James  Wallington  of  NBC. 

The  Academy  this  year  tells  us  that  it  will  not 
sponsor  the  move  again — a  decision  based  upon  new 
policies  adopted  recently. 

Beginning  with  the  1934  award,  which  will  be  made 
known  early  in  1935,  RADIO  STARS  Magazine  will 
sponsor  the  selection.  Judges  will  be  members  of  the 
RADIO   STARS   Board   of  Review  and  the  basis  of 

68 


judgement  will  center  upon  five  points:  (1)  diction, 
(2  delivery,  (3)  microphone  personality,  (4)  adapting 
one's   self  to   the   mood   of  the   program   and  (5) 

versatility. 

What  we  seek  is  the  best  program  announcer  work- 
ing on  America's  networks.  Therefore  all  network 
announcers  are  eligible,  all  will  be  considered  and 
they  will  be  picked  directly  by  the  judges  without 
nominations. 

RADIO  STARS  Magazine  will  present  each  year's 
winner  with  a  trophy  symbolic  of  the  award.  Watch 
future  issues  of  this  magazine  for  the  results.

Dr.  R.  E.  Lee,  Director  of 
Fleischmann  Health  Re-

new 


yeast  acts 


Constipation,  Indigestion 
and  related  Skin  Troubles 
corrected  much  sooner.  (New  Vitamin  A  checks  colds!) 


THINK  OF  IT!  ...  a  new  yeast  so 
much  quicker  acting  it  astounds  doc- 
tors. If  you  have  any  questions,  read  these 
answers  by  Dr.  Lee: — 

Why  does  "XR"  Yeast  act  quicker? 

Because  it's  a  stronger  "strain"  of  fresh 
veast,  much  more  vigorous,  and  so. .  .faster! 
It's  rich  in  hormone-like*  substances. 

*What  are  Hormone-like  Substances? 

They  are  "activators"  (like  natural  body 
stimulants)  which  speed  the  flow  of  your 
digestive  juices  and  strengthen  digestive 
muscles  from  the  stomach  right  on  dozen. 

Will  it  correct  Constipation  and  Indiges- 
tion very  much  faster? 

Positively!  By  making  juices  flow  fast 
and  muscles  work  harder  in- 
side you,  "XR"  Yeast  makes 
your  foods    softer — better 
"churned,"  digested.  Indi- 
gestion, constipation  should 
soon   stop.    "XR"  Yeast 
reallv  "normalizes"  vou. 


Do  Skin  troubles  stop  much  Sooner? 

The  most  common  skin  blemishes  come 
from  self-poisoning  caused  by  your  di- 
gestive system  not  working  properly.  "  X  R 
Yeast  corrects  this  condition.  Pimples, 
boils,  etc.,  disappear  sooner! 

What  new  Vitamin  does  it  contain? 

Vitamin  A,  newly  added,  to  help  combat 
colds.  "XR"  Yeast  also  builds  resistance 
to  colds  by  cleansing  your  body.  With 
Vitamins  B,  D  and  G,  Fleischmann's 
"XR"  Yeast  now  contains  4  vitamins. 

EAT  3  CAKES  of  Fleischmann's  "XR" 
Yeast  every  day — plain,  or  dissolved  in  one- 
third  glass  of  water — preferably  half  an  hour 
before  meals.  Keep  on  after  you've  got  quick 
results.  Get  a  supply  today! 


#'XR'   Yeast  l>  much

Via  Pelt.  Stapletoa.  N.  V. 
"My  whole  system  was 
sluggish  ...  I  had  head- 
aches, no  appetite.  I 
started  eating  the  new 
XR   Yeast  and  in  just 
a  few  days  felt  grand  "

The  Woman  Who  Laughed  at  Death 


everything  from  her  ankles  to  her  neck 
and  now  they  wanted  to  take  away  from 
her  the  one  thing  she  had  left,  her  laugh- 
ter. For  almost  a  full  day  she  tried  it. 
The  world  grew  grim  around  her,  black- 
ness seemed  to  be  closing  in,  the  Grim 
Reaper  took  a  firmer  hold  on  her  throat. 
Nellie,  unable  to  bear  the  strain  any  longer, 
wrote  a  poem  about  it. 

Dear  Doctor  Lorenz,  take  back  your  ad- 
vice, I  quit  laughing  for  nearly  a  day, 
The  world  seemed  so  drab,  the  sun  turned 
to  ice  and  lost  its  warm,  lustrous  ray. 
The  nurse  didn't  smile,  was  silent  and  cold, 

the  sky  was  a  battleship  gray, 
The  doctors  came  in  but  left  stories  untold, 

and  my  friends  had  to  hurry  away. 
Perhaps  you  are   right,  but  your  treat- 
ment's too  hard,  I  either  must  laugh  or 
I'll  cry, 

And  crying  I  loathe,  it's  a  coward's  trump 
card,  and  tears  always  blister  my  eye. 

I'll  do  all  the  rest,  anything  that  you  say, 
and  then  if  I  can't  stand  the  gaff, 

I'll  meet  Rennie  Wolf  on  Heaven's  Broad- 
way and  together  we'll  have  a  good 
laugh. 

So  Nellie  went  back  to  laughter,  and 
the  sun  shone  again. 

Yet  there  were  moments  when  bitter, 
black  despair,  try  as  she  might  to  oust 
it,  touched  even  Nellie.  Would  you  have 
been  any  braver  if  you  had  been  hung  up 
by  the  wrists,  had  your  chin  bandaged  to 
a  board,  your  mouth  packed  so  you  couldn't 
bite  your  tongue  off,  your  knees  strapped 
together,  the  support  kicked  from  under 
your  feet  so  that  you  could  dangle  by  the 
wrists  for  fifteen  minutes  to  straighten 
your  spine?  Would  you  have  been  any 
braver  it  after  all  that,  you  had  been  en- 
cased in  a  plaster-of-Paris  cast  and  left 
lying  on  a  board  without  a  spring  or 
mattress  ? 

Well,  then,  Nellie  at  times  was  a  cow- 
ard, too,  and  in  her  moments  of  greatest 
cowardice  she  was  more  courageous  than 
soldiers  have  been  in  their  moments  of 
greatest  courage.  She  told  no  one  how 
many  times,  lying  motionless,  looking  at  the 
gas  fixture,  she  wondered  if  it  would  be 
possible  for  her  to  turn  the  gas  on.  And 
then  with  a  laugh  she  threw  the  treacher- 
ous thought  out  of  her  mind.  "What  a 
silly  old  woman  I  am,"  she  told  herself. 
"Why,  if  I  were  strong  enough  to  be 
able  to  reach  that  gas  jet,  I'd  have  no 
reason  for  wanting  to  turn  it  on."  She  told 
no  one  how  when  the  nurse  gave  her 
veronal  tablets  to  make  her  fall  asleep, 
she  would  hide  one  out  of  every  dose, 
Imping  to  save  enough  so  that  sometime 
she  would  be  able  to  end  it  all. 

Then  one  day  something  happened  that 
made  her  decide  to  live.  Darkness  crept 
over  her,  and  seemed  to  touch  her  with 
cold,  welcome  wings.  She  dared  not  try 
to  lift  herself  out  of  the  darkness  because 
there  was  peace  there  and  to  drift  away 
from  it  would  mean  to  awaken  into  a 
world  of  tortured  pain.  Then  suddenly 
she  thought  she  heard  a  voice,  the  voice 
of  a  friend,  Abe  Levy. 

"Nellie,"   he   said.   "Nellie,  didn't  you 

70

say  you  owed  your  life  to  your  friends?" 

"Yes,"  she  murmured,  out  of  the  dark- 
ness that  was  close  to  death. 

"Then  your  friends  want  it.  You  must 
not  give  up." 

After  that  she  had  many  sinking  spells, 
but  she  never  gave  up,  and  she  never 
stopped  laughing. 

Three  years  went  by,  and  Nellie  still 
lay  on  her  bed  of  stone  in  her  coat  of 
mortar.  The  sun  was  shining  outside, 
it  was  the  sort  of  day  on  which,  if  you 


Nellie  Revell 


lay  on  a  bed  of  pain,  you  would  think 
of  all  the  people  gaily  promenading  the 
streets.  For  a  moment  Nellie  Revell 
felt  something  almost  akin  to  self-pity. 
Self-pity !  She'd  be  darned  if  she'd  yield 
to  anything  like  that.  Nothing  would 
drag  her  below  the  surface  sooner  than 
putting  on  a  sob  act  to  herself.  Self-pity 
was  an  enemy  to  be  fought  and  vanquished. 

All  of  a  sudden,  in  a  flash,  she  knew 
why  she  wasn't  getting  better.  For  three 
years  she  had  lain  there,  while  ministers 
had  written  sermons  on  her  fortitude  and 
newspapers  had  carried  stories  on  her  cour- 
age and  friends  had  commiserated  with 
her.  Her  courage  !  What  a  hollow  mock- 
ery !  What  a  joke!  Courage  wasn't  to 
lie  there  like  a  martyr,  giving  herself  to 
Death.  Courage  was  to  fight  and  to  fight 
like  the  devil. 

A  nurse  came  in  just  then,  carrying 
a  lamb  chop  on  a  plate.  Nellie  tasted  the 
lamb  chop  and  made  a  grimace.  "The  chop 
isn't  hot,"  she  complained.  "But  the  plate 
is  hot,  Madam,  said  the  nurse.  "Hot  plates 
aren't  on  my  diet  list,"  answered  Nellie 
and  with  one  swift  movement  of  her  hand 
she  toppled  the  chop,  plate  and  all  to 
the  ground. 

The  noise  of  the  breaking  china  brought 


several  nuns  on  the  run.  "What's  the 
meaning  of  this?"  demanded  one  of  them. 
Nellie  told  her.  "My  dear,"  said  the  nun, 
"we  can't  bring  up  hot  meat  from  the 
kitchen  each  time  for  each  of  our  patients." 

"That's  just  too  bad,"  said  Nellie.  "If 
you  were  a  patient  here  and  had  to  look 
at  the  same  ceiling  all  the  time  and  eat 
the  same  food,  wouldn't  you  at  least  want 
it  hot?" 

The  next  day  Nellie  sent  for  the  Mother 
Superior  of  St.  Vincent's  Hospital. 

"My  dear,"  said  the  Mother  Superior, 
"why    have   you    been    making   all  this 

trouble?" 

"Because,"  said  Nellie  firmly,  "I  believe 
that's  the  only  way  I  can  get  well.  There 
are  two  ways  to  go  out  of  this  hospital, 
the  front  way  and  the  back  way.  I've 
seen  two  nuns  of  your  own  order,  who 
were  patient  and  sweet  and  resigned,  and 
they  went  out  the  back  way.  If  patience 
were  the  way  to  win  a  battle,  they  would 
have  won  it.  Well,  I'm  going  out  the 
front  way.  I  want  your  cooperation,  but 
even  if  I  don't  get  it,  I'm  going  to  put 
up  the  darndest  fight.  I  won't  die  a  patient 
martyr." 

Touched  by  Nellie's  spirit,  the  Mother 
Superior  promised  to  help  in  every  way 
she  could.  It  may  seem  just  a  little  thing, 
this  matter  of  cold  or  hot  food,  but  Nellie 
was  convinced  that  if  she  didn't  put  up 
a  fight,  she'd  get  into  the  habit  of  following 
the  path  of  least  resistance.  And  every- 
one would  say  that  she  was  a  wonderful 
woman  and  a  great  martyr,  and  wasn't  il 
a  great  pity  that  she  died  in  the  prime  ol 
her  life? 

In  her  great  fight,  she  had  two  thoughts 
to  sustain  her.  Once,  just  before  she  wen' 
away  to  school,  her  father  had  said  to  her 
"Nellie,  I  have  no  religion  to  give  you 
but  perhaps  this  will  help.  If  you're  i. 
good  sport,  you  can't  be  a  bad  anything 
else." 

The  other  idea  was  a  simple  little  mottt 
she'd  picked  up  someplace,  "Only  sucker 
holler."  Nellie  made  up  her  mind  tha 
she  wasn't  going  to  be  any  sucker. 

Slowly,  fighting  every  inch  of  the  wa;< 
for  her  very  life,  she  began  to  get  wel. 
Resistance  became  her  battle  cry,  and  self 
pity  she  flung  from  her  like  a  viper.  Whe 
she  began  to  feel  blue,  she  scrapped  ir 
stead.  She  didn't  want  to  be  unkind  t 
the  nurses,  but  after  all  it  was  her  Hi 
for  which  she  was  fighting.  Sometime 
she  fought  because  the  coffee  was  nc 
boiling  and  sometimes  because  it  was 
sometimes  because  her  window  was  u 
and  sometimes  because  it  was  down.  Some 
times  the  things  were  real  grievances,  ar 
sometimes  she  fought  simply  because  wit 
a  good  scrap  on  her  hands  she  had  r 
time  for  the  self-pity  that  would  hin 
kept  her  from  getting  well. 

Then  she  began  to  get  better.    She  s 
her   imagination   whirring,   and  picture 
herself  not  as  a  quivering  mass  of  siej:, 
flesh  on  the  bed  but  as  the  glamorot 
figure  she'd  been  in  her  heyday,  when  sib.

RADIO  STARS 


Sarah  Bernhardt  out  on  a  tour.  In  her 
imagination  she  saw  the  bright  lights  of 
Broadway  once  more.  With  a  pencil  tied 
to  her  bed  post  and  a  pad  on  her  chest 
she  began  to  write  columns  for  Variety, 
for  which  she  had  written  before  her  illness, 
columns  for  the  old  Evening  Mail  and 
finally  a  book  "Right  Off  the  Chest," 
which  told  of  her  hospital  experiences. 
She  might  have  made  them  sound  grim 
and  horrible,  but  instead  she  found  the 
laughter  in  each  of  the  hollow  jokes  that 
life  had  played  on  her. 

From  the  day  she  began  to  write,  she 
became  her  old  self  again  and  imagination 
carried  her  once  more  into  the  brilliant 
world  that  she  had  once  more  conquered 
with  her  newspaper  yarns  and  her  clever 
publicity. 

Then  one  day  she  went  out  of  the 
hospital,  and  she  went  out  through  the 
front  door.  And  of  course,  she  went  out 
laughing. 

Today,  though  she  walks  with  a  cane, 
she  is  still  laughing,  still  fighting,  still 
working.  Since  she  was  wheeled  out  of 
the  hospital  almost  ten  years  ago,  she  has 
done  the  publicity  for  at  least  half  a  dozen 
shows,  she  has  supervised  the  opening  of 
theatres  in  many  cities,  she's  been  in 
Hollywood  supervising  the  filming  of  a 
novel  of  her  own  and  writing  scenarios. 
Now  she's  on  the  air  over  NBC  network 
with  her  bits  of  homely  philosophy,  her 
gay  stories  and  her  friendly  interviews 
with  radio  celebrities.  And  she  a  grand- 
mother, tchk,  tchk! 

Whenever  she  walks  along  Times  Square 
in  New  York,  every  twenty  feet  someone 
stops  her. 

"Times  Square,"  she  told  me  gaily,  "is 
just  a  small  town  and  I'm  just  a  neigh- 
bor girl,  whom  everyone  looks  out  for." 

I  wish  you  knew  Nellie  Revell,  and 
could  hear  that  generous  laughter  of  hers 
that  is  so  very  contagious. 

In  the  last  letter  he  ever  wrote  her, 
her  father  said,  "Nellie,  you've  been  a 
good  daughter,  a  good  wife,  a  good  mother, 
and  you're  a  damn'  good  newspaper  man." 

To  it  Irvin  S.  Cobb  added  this  post- 
script, "Yes,  and  a  damn'  good  soldier, 
Nellie  Revel !"  And  I  am  sure  that  all  of  us 
who  know  Nellie  Revell's  story  will  say 
"Amen"  to  that.

covers.     Many  of  you   have  seen  them. 

Today,  she  seeks  fame  in  a  medium  that 
completely  discounts  her  physical  loveli- 
ness. Today,  she  is  a  singer  of  songs.  She 
is  very  brave,  this  charming  Chicagoan, 
to  reject  the  appeal  of  her  beauty  for  it 
leaves  her  success  dependent  solely  on  her 
vocal  talent.  That  talent,  happily,  is  suffi- 
cient. It  has  given  her  the  kind  of  success 
she  seeks.  As  you  hear  her  sing,  we  be- 
lieve you  will  enjoy  knowing  that  she  is 
the  most  beautiful  woman  in  radio. 


But — maybe  she  isn't 


When  a  mild  reproof  brings  a  flood  of 
tears ...  or  a  plucky  child  cries  for  a 
trifling  hurt .  .  .  take  heed!  Often  such  out- 
bursts are  little  flags  of  warning! 

One  of  several  things  may  be  to  blame — 
acid  stomach,  flatulence  .  .  .  perhaps  your 
child  is  catching  cold.  Or  maybe  it  is  con- 
stipation—a disorder  so  common  that  90% 
of  all  children  are  affected  by  it. 

Give  your  child  Fletcher's  Castoria 

When  a  child  is  unusually  "touchy"  it  is 
wise  to  give  a  laxative.  But  be  sure  to  give  a 
child's  laxative  .  .  .  not  a  harsh,  bad-tasting 
adult  laxative  that  may  upset  digestion  and 
cause  griping  pain. 

Give  Fletcher's  Castoria!  It  is  made  espe- 
daily  for  children.  They  love  its  candy  taste. 
It  is  gentle,  safe— yet  effective  and  thorough. 

The  "standby"  in  5,000,000  homes 

In  more  than  5,000,000  American  homes, 
mothers  of  children  of  all  ages— from  baby- 
hood to  11  years — give  Fletcher's  Castoria 
for  constipation — and  for  all  those  little  sym- 
toms  that  point  to  incomplete  elimination. 

Next  time  you  take  your  child  to  the  doctor 
for  a  regular  check-up,  ask  him  about 
Fletcher's  Castoria.  He  will  tell  you  that  it 
contains  no  harsh,  irritating  ingredients — 
only  such  ingredients  as  are  mild,  effective 
aud  suitable  for  children's  tender  systems. 


Buy  the  family-size  bottle  of  Fletcher's 
Castoria.  It  is  more  economical.  The  sig- 
nature Chas.  H.  Fletcher  is  always  right 
on  the  carton.

I  had  to  pay  the  price  demanded.  I 
couldn't  risk  my  whole  career  at  this  stage. 

I  signed  the  contract  with  the  Beauty 
Glow  outfit,  and  went  to  Mid-City,  know- 
ing Cass  was  already  there,  waiting  for 
me.  If  I  hadn't  been  as  wretched,  as 
panicked,  as  any  trapped  animal,  I  would 
have  gotten  a  sort  of  detached  amusement 
out  of  the  irony  of  the  situation. 

From  the  very  first,  I  put  myself  over. 
I  didn't  need  any  more  building  up,  any 
smart  publicity.  My  popularity  grew  by 
leaps  and  bounds.  Myra  Gorman  was  the 
rising  star  of  radio.  My  contract  forbade 
any  outside  appearances,  but  I  was 
swamped  with  offers.  (That  was  the  year 
when  torch  singers  were  so  tremendously 
in  vogue,  if  you  remember.) 

The  fabulous,  feted  life  I'd  dreamed  of 
was  mine.  People  recognized  me  wherever 
I  went.  I  was  photographed  and  inter- 
viewed and  written  up  until  it  took  a  maid 
and  a  secretary  to  secure  me  any  pri- 
vacy at  all.  And  I  had  to  live  up  to  my 
glamorous  role !  I  had  to  be  the  radiant 
young  singer  who  had  skyrocketed  to  the 
heights  and  had  the  world  at  her  feet. 

That  whole  winter  was  an  endless,  ex- 
hausting dress  rehearsal.  And  behind  the 
scenes  of  that  glittering  pageant?  There 
was  Cass.  Taking  half  my  salary  check- 
as  his  just  dues;  borrowing — the  term  was 
his — as  much  more  from  me  as  he  needed 
with  cool  insolence.  Making  himself  at 
home  in  the  handsome  duplex  apartment 
I  had  to  have  for  background.  Directing 
my  life  as  if  I  were  a  puppet. 

Fortunately  I  was  spared  his  love-mak- 
ing. Not  because  he  knew  that  what  I'd 
felt  for  him  once  had  turned  to  a  loath- 
ing I  could  hardly  conceal ;  but  because, 
being  Cass,  he  had  found  pleasures  and 
diversions  of  his  own  in  Mid-City. 

He  didn't  care  for  the  worthwhile, 
intelligent,  delightful  people — the  top- 
notchers — that  I  got  to  know,  profession- 
ally, at  least.  I  suppose  he  knew  he  didn't 
stack  up.  Besides,  radio  and  theatre  folk 
vvho're  getting  anywhere  don't  dissipate. 
So  he  found  his  own  level  in  a  tawdry, 
hard-drinking  crowd  I  detested,  but  had 
to  play  with,  when  he  pulled  the  strings. 
He  didn't  often  force  me  to  join  those 
hectic,  raffish  parties.  Once  he'd  ex- 
ploited me  as  the  girl  he'd  discovered,  and 
made  a  star  out  of,  he  preferred  to  be 
unhampered.  I  thanked  God  for  that 
much.  For  by  this  time,  Johnny  Destinn 
had  come  into  my  life. 

Johnny  wasn't  any  high-powered  radio 
star.  But  he  was,  and  is  still,  one  of  the 
most  popular  and  highly  paid  announcers 
on  any  program.  His  charm  and  gaiety 
and  infectious  enthusiasm  get  across  to  his 
audience  just  as  they  did  to  me  the  night 
of  my  first  broadcast  from  Radio  Towers. 
I'm  still  grateful  to  him  for  his  under- 
standing and  helpfulness  those  first  weeks. 
He  gave  me  confidence  and  poise,  spurred 
me  on  to  my  best,  many  a  time  when  I 
might  have  cracked  under  the  strain. 

He  gave  me  companionship,  too.  A 
companionship  that  was  invaluable  to  me. 
When  I  realized  that  he  was  in  love  with

me — that  in  his  eyes  I  was  beautiful  and 
wonderful  and  perfect — it  touched  me  be- 
yond belief.  Only  a  woman  who's  been 
treated  as  shabbily  as  I  was — exploited  by 
a  man  she  has  loved — can  understand 
what  healing  there  is  in  a  decent  man's 
devotion  !  So  it  wasn't  any  wonder  that 
I  invested  Johnny  with  every  idealistic 
quality  a  man  can  possess. 

I  DON'T  know  yet  whether  I  was  actu- 
ally in  love  with  him,  or  in  love  with 
the  wholesome,  decent  things  he  stood  for. 
He  attracted  me  strongly,  his  blpnd,  boyish 
good-looks.    His  gaiety  and  charm  would

have  attracted  any  woman,  but  I  was  con- 
tent enough  to  let  things  drift  along  be- 
tween us — until  the  mild  February  after- 
noon we  drove  out  to  Ravens  wood  for 
tea,  and  he  asked  me  to  marry  him ! 

Then  I  knew  that  life  with  Johnny — 
a  home,  a  shared  career — was  worth  any- 
thing it  cost. 

He  leaned  across  the  table,  so  close  that 
his  breath  warmed  my  cheek,  but  I  could 
just  see  him  through  a  sharp  mist  of  tears. 

"I've  a  hot  nerve  to  be  asking  Myra 
Gorman  to  marry  me.  .  .  ."  he  was  saying 
unsteadily.  "But  Myra,  I'm  so  crazy  about 
you.  And  I  could  take  care  of  you,  honey 
and  I  don't  just  mean  by  paying  the 
rent." 

To  be  cherished  and  cared  for  and 
babied  is  every  woman's  dream.  But 
Johnny  meant  something  more  than  that. 

"You're  such  an  adorable  kid,  Myra,  for 
all  your  being  radio's  sweetheart,"  he 
went  on  awkwardly.  "You're  so  young — 
and  sort  of  untouched  by  all  the  big  town 
glitter.  Innocent,  I  guess  is  the  word  I 
want." 

"Do  you  think  so,  Johnny?"  I  had  to 
smile.    He  was  only  twenty-two  himself. 

"All  right!"  he  grinned  back  at  me. 
"I'll  say  what  I  mean.  I  want  to  marry 
you  first  of  all,  because  you're  the  girl 
I  love.  And  secondly,  because  I  want  to 
get  you  away  from  Cass  De  Voe,  and  that 
cheap  riff-raff  he  runs  with!" 


I  knew  he  was  thinking  of  a  party  Cass 
had  staged  in  my  apartment  a  few  nights 
before.  I  flushed  at  the  humiliating  mem- 
ory. 

"He's  my  manager,  Johnny,"  I  said. 

"I  know  that.  What  did  you  think  I 
meant?  And  I  know  that  he's  getting  into 
you  for  an  unholy  commission,  without 
earning  it,  too.  I'm  pretty  sure  your  con- 
tract wouldn't  be  worth  the  paper  it's  writ- 
ten on  if  you  chose  to  break  it.  But  that's 
your  business,  honey.  It's  the  other  angle 
I'm  thinking  of !" 

"You've  heard — gossip  at  the  studio?"  I 
asked,  breaking  my  scone  into  bits.  He 
colored  to  the  roots  of  his  fair  hair.  "Do 
you  think  if  I  had,  I'd  listen  to  it?"  he 
said  hotly.  "Myra — I  know  you're  every- 
thing that's  perfect — but  you  can't  afford 
a  tieup  with  the  wrong  kind  of  people. 
Not  in  radio !  You  don't  like  De  Voe's 
drinking  crowd,  you  showed  it  plainly 
enough  the  other  night.  And  as  for 
De  Voe  .  .  ." 

His  clear,  blue  eyes  looked  questioningly 
into  mine.  If  I'd  had  the  moral  strength 
to  tell  him  the  truth  then,  it  would  have 
saved  a  lot  of  heartbreak.  But  I  didn't. 
I  wanted  him  to  go  on  thinking  me  per- 
fect. I  was  so  terribly  afraid  of  his  dis- 
illusionment. 

"Cass  De  Voe  is  nothing  to  me.  Johnny !" 
I  said,  and  God  knows  I  meant  it  from  my 
hea- 1.  "Less  than  nothing !  In  a  way,  I 
got  my  start  through  him  .  .  .  but  our  ac- 
counts are  all  squared.  Yes,  I'll  break 
with  him  for  good  and  all !  And  then.  .  .  * 

LJAPPINESS  warmed  me  with  its  Iove- 
'  ly  glow.  Life  owed  me  more  than  just 
the  empty  trappings  of  the  success  I'd 
bought  with  such  bitter  coin !  I  had  a  right 
to  the  dear  realities  that  Johnny  offered 
me.  "Ask  me  to  marry  you  again,  Johnny !" 
I  said,  "Even  if  you  know  the  answer 
already." 

We  stayed  in  that  fire-lit  tea  room  so 
long  that  neither  of  us  had  time  for  dinner 
before  our  broadcast.  At  that,  we  just 
got  to  the  studio  in  time  for  the  program. 

I  like  to  remember  that  hour.  It  was 
innocent  and  radiant  and  perfect  as  a 
spring  morning  when  the  world  is  washed 
with  dew.  And  it  was  as  short,  too!  For 
my  lovely  assurance  in  the  future  didn't 
last  long.  A  little  more  than  twenty-four 
hours,  to  be  exact. 

The  next  night  I  was  dressing  to  go  out 
to  dinner  with  Johnny — there  was  no 
broadcast,  no  rehearsal  to  bring  us  down 
to  earth  again — when  Cass  turned  up.  It 
was  late  and  my  maid  had  left  for  the 
day.  I  let  him  in,  even  though  he'd  been 
drinking  fairly  heavily.  After  all.  I'd 
been  trying  to  get  him  at  his  hotel  all 
afternoon.  I  might  as  well  say  what  I 
had  to  say  now  and  get  it  over  with. 

It  wasn't  just  the  mental  image  of  my 
lean,  laughing,  cleancut  Johnny  that  made 
me  recoil  from  Cass.  How  had  I  ever 
been  hypnotized  into  caring  for  this  swag- 
gering, over-dressed  gigolo  of  a  man? 
What  irresistable  glamor  had  I  ever  read 
into  his  sleek,  second  rate  good-looks?  His

mfidence  in  his  own  charm?  I  wondered. 
His  slightly  blood-shot  eyes,  that  belied 
e  barbered  freshness  of  his  face,  looked 
5  up  and  down.  I  pulled  my  peach- 
lored  negligee  closer  about  me,  hating 
m  for  that  look. 

"Getting  all  prettied  up  for  the  boy- 
iend,  sweetheart  ?"  he  said  with  a  chuckle, 
'ou  guessed  right.  We're  going  places, 
night.  .  .  ." 

"Oh,  no,   we're  not,"   I   assured  him. 

wanted  to  see  you  on  business,  Cass."  I 
iked  at  my  wrist  watch  with  a  coolness  I 
dn't  feel.  "I've  got  just  half  an  hour." 
He  lifted  a  malicious  eyebrow,  strolled 
er  to  the  lacquered  cabinet  beneath  the 
lcony  and  poured  himself  a  drink.  "Get- 
lg  pretty  highhat,  now  you're  the  pride 

the  network,  aren't  you?"  he  sneered. 
'Veil,  spill  it." 

AY  hands  were  like  ice.  But  I  didn't 
I  *  waste  any  words.  I  told  him  that  I'd 
I  lit  with  him,  according  to  our  agreement, 
ir  the  rest  of  my  contract  with  the 
eauty  Glow  company.  But  that  that  was 
e  end.    If  he  chose  to  sue,  I'd  tight  him 

a  finish !  And  from  now  on,  any  per- 
nal  connection  between  us  was  finished 
o.    If  he  dared  to  annoy  me,  or  impose 
ion  me  any  further  .  .  . 
It  wasn't  the  right  approach.     But  I 
as  so   wrought   up   with    fury   at  his 
solence,  at  my  enduring  humiliation  at 
s  hands,  that  I  didn't  use  good  sense. 
"So  there's  a  fair-haired  announcer  in 
e  woodpile !"  he  said  softly.    "Oh,  I'm 
■p  to  what's  the  latest  studio  gossip,  too. 
ow  you've  said  your  piece,   Baby,  sit 
)wn,  and  let's  be  cosy.  Kind  of  stuck  on 
lis  Destinn  lad,  aren't  you?" 
He  finished  off  another   straight  rye. 

he  knew  about  Johnny,  there  was  no 
nse  in  trying  to  deceive  him.  Wouldn't 
be  better  to  appeal  to  whatever  spark 
:  decency  he  had?  I  took  the  drink  he'd 
mred  for  me,  swallowed  it  down.  Could 
play  up  to  his  vanity? 
"More  than  that,  Cass,"  I  said.  I  leaned 
irward.  "I've  said  some  pretty  rotten 
lings  to  you.  Things  I'll  take  back, 
adly,  if  you'll  be  generous,  decent.  Johnny 
'estinn  wants  to  marry  me.  He  doesn't 
now  about  you  and  me,  he  mustn't,  ever, 
le  wouldn't  understand.  And  if  you  don't 
t  me  go,  Cass  .  .  ." 

He  stared  sulkily  into  his  glass.  Had  I 
uind  a  crevice  in  his  ruthlessness  at  last? 

didn't  have  to  fake  the  break  in  my 
oice,  the  tears  that  wet  my  lashes. 

"Can't  you  see  what  it  means  to  me, 
ass?  I  love  him.  I  want  marriage, 
scanty,  a  home.  Terribly.  More  than 
ou  can  ever  know.  You  aren't  going  to 
leat  me  out  of  them,  are  you?  Please, 
ass,  for  the  sake  of  the  time  when  you 
id  care  for  me  .  .  ." 

I  made  my  second  mistake  there.  I 
Wouldn't  have  said  that ;  shouldn't  have 
aught  his  hand  between  both  of  mine.  He 
imed  and  I  saw  the  hot,  heavy-lidded  look 

knew  so  well.  He  pulled  me  to  him, 
nd  my  whole  being  was  revolted  by  the 
inch  that  had  once  meant  heaven  to  me. 
You're  beautiful!"  he  said  thickly.  "If 
ou  hadn't  treated  me  like  dirt  I'd  still  be 
razy  about  you,  maybe  I  am  anyway. 
Vhy  should  I  step  out  of  the  picture  for

me  and  I  don't  blame  you  for  it.  But 
you're  still  my  girl." 

I  tried  to  free  myself,  evade  his  mouth 
as  it  sought  mine.  But  only  the  stinging 
impact  of  my  palm  against  his  flushed 
fare  ended  that  loathsome  kiss. 

"You  vain  fool !"  I  sprang  up,  di- 
shevelled, blazing.  "Do  you  think  I'm  still 
your  love-sick  dupe?  I  loathe  you.  And 
I  loathe  myself  more  for  having  let  you 
— soil  me." 

I  was  struggling  in  his  arms  when  the 
bell  rang  three  times.  Johnny's  ring.  I 
went  limp  as  a  rag.  I'd  left  the  door  of 
my  apartment  unlatched,  told  Johnny  to 
come  in  and  make  himself  at  home  if  I 
was  dressing. 

Cass  let  me  go,  put  one  hand  to  his 
cheek.  Drunken  malice  gleamed  in  his  eyes. 
"So  that's  the  boyfriend.  Let  him  in — or 
shall  I?" 

It  was  too  late  for  that.  The  door 
opened  and  Johnny  stood  there,  bewilder- 
ment and  then  something  worse  glazed  his 
features. 

I  couldn't  speak.  There  was  nothing  to 
say.  The  tableau  was  so  screamingly  obvi- 
ous that  no  stammered  words  of  mine 
could  help.  I  found  my  voice  at  last. 
"Johnny  ..."  I  whispered  "Don't  stand 
there  like  that.    Come  in  .  .  ." 

"Sure,"  said  Cass.  "Come  in,  Destinn. 
Have  yourself  a  drink.  You  and  Myra 
stepping  out?    Don't  mind  me." 

THE  deviltry  of  the  intent  behind  the 
'  genial  invitation  did  its  work. 

"  Thanks,  no,"  Johnny's  voice  was  flat, 
lifeless.  But  the  dreadful  accusation  in  his 
eyes,  as  they  took  in  my  disordered  hair, 
my  deshabille,  was  like  a  blow.  "Myra 
seems  to  have  mixed  up  her  dates.  I'll 
be  going." 

"Johnny !"  I  ran  to  him.  "This  isn't 
what  you  think.  I  didn't  know  Cass  was 
coming.  You've  got  to  let  me  explain.  .  .  ." 

"Explain  what?"  A  travesty  of  a  smile 
twisted  his  lips.  "There's  nothing  to  ex- 
plain. Except  my  own  stupidity !  But 
we  live  and  learn." 

That  was  all  he  said.  But  it  was  enough. 
The  door  closed  after  him,  and  I  knew, 
in  that  ghastly  moment,  that  it  had  closed 
forever  on  the  happy  future  we  might 
have  known.  God  knows  Johnny  had 
jumped  falsely,  at  the  obvious,  sordid  con- 
clusion. But  the  ugly  skeleton  of  the  past 
was  bared,  for  once  and  all. 

I  think,  in  my  stupor  of  loss  and  lone- 
liness, I'd  forgotten  Cass  was  still  in  my 
living  room.  Until  he  spoke.  "There  goes 
one  guy  who's  been  played  for  a  sucker 
for  the  last  time.  Took  it  pretty  hard, 
didn't  he?  You  must  have  put  on  quite  an 
act.  Baby,  just  the  hometown  girl  who 
didn't  know  what  it  was  all  about !" 

"Get  out !"  I  said.  "You've  done  what 
you  meant  to  do.  Now  get  out."  Then 
something  snapped.  I  remember  beating 
at  him  with  my  fists,  like  a  crazy  woman, 
sobbing  with  a  wild  hysteria  that,  in  time, 
must  have  frightened  him.  When  I'd  wept 
myself  limp  and  ill  and  half  way  back  to 
sanity,  I  found  myself  on  the  divan,  ac- 
cepting his  clumsy,  half-drunken  ministra- 
tions. 

It  didn't  matter.  Nothing  mattered  now. 
I  didn't  even  hate  him  any  more.  Through 
the  daze  of  despair,  I  heard  his  voice.

worked  out,  with  a  guy  like  that.  You 
know  it  as  well  as  I  do.  Come  on,  admit 
it.  What  I  said  before  he  butted  in  still 
goes.  It's  got  to  be  you  and  me,  Myra. 
I  can't  keep  away  from  you,  you  know 
that." 

|_|  E  was  bending  over  me,  but  even  that 
didn't  matter.  "It  isn't  the  damn  money 
I  care  about,  believe  it  or  not.  I'll  tear 
up  that  contract  now,  if  you  like.  But 
I'm  not  going  to  lose  you,  Baby.  Hell, 
if  it's  marriage  you  want,  we'll  go  and 
get  spliced  tomorrow !  Stop  crying,  will 
you?  Think  of  the  swell  break  you've 
got,  kid.  Everything  you  ever  wanted 
back  in  Gilesburg." 

I  don't  know  how  long  it  went  on. 
Cass  was  drinking  steadily,  and  I  was 
suddenly  aware  that  his  monotonous  voice 
had  stopped.    He'd  passed  out,  sprawled

there  beside  me.  I  knew  what  I  had  to 
do  in  one  clear  flash  of  desperation  that 
was  beyond  panic. 

T  HE  alternative  of  going  on  with  Cass, 

an  incubus  I  could  never  shake  off,  was 
intolerable.  What  he  said  was  true.  He'd 
never  let  me  go.  We  were  bound  together 
by  some  hideous  law  of  destiny.  Go  on, 
on  torment  and  degradation?  Deck  out 
my  misery  in  the  trappings  of  success  and 
popularity? 

I  almost  laughed  as  I  stood  there  look- 
ing down  at  him.  There  wasn't  any  choice. 
I  couldn't  go  on.  Couldn't  go  back  to  the 
studio,  face  Johnny  Destinn  nightly  across 
the  mike,  singing  the  torch  songs  he 
wouldn't  hear,  now.  ...  I'd  crack.  I'd 
reached  my  breaking  point  at  last.  Better 
the  swift  way  out.  than  that. 

I  needn't  have  crept  so  quietly  to  the 
bathroom.  Cass  was  dead  to  the  world. 
I  opened  the  glittering  medicine  cabinet 
with  stiff  fingers.  Yes,  there  was  the  little 
brown  bottle  with  its  sinister  skull  and 
crossbones.  I  felt  so  weak,  so  half  dead 
already  that  I  had  to  steady  myself  against 
the  onyx  basin.  It  would  hurt.  Burn  with 
the  fires  of  hell,  for  a  minute.  Then  it 
would  all  be  over. 

I  saw  myself  in  the  cabinet  mirror,  lift- 
ing it  to  my  mouth — flaming  agony  blotted 
out  everything  but  my  own  hoarse  scream. 

The  first  weeks  in  the  hospital  I  didn't 
know  much  about.    It  was  just  as  well.  I 


must  have  suffered  terribly.  Gradually,  I 
came  back  to  life.  And  it  didn't  take  the 
friendly  evasiveness  of  the  doctor  to  tell 
me  what  I'd  done — burned  the  delicate 
membranes  of  my  throat  and  larynx  so  I 
could  never  sing  again !  I  had  a  decent, 
hardboiled  nurse  who  didn't  believe  in 
evasions.  I  got  the  truth  from  her.  Not 
that  it  mattered  much.  My  suicide  attempt 
had  made  every  tabloid  sheet.  Headline 
stuff,  of  course.  My  career  in  radio  would 
have  been  over  anyway.  Scandal  will 
wreck  any  radio  star.    I  was  done! 

As  I  got  stronger,  I  began  to  worry 
terribly  about  money.  My  salary  checks 
had  all  been  mortgaged  ahead.  How  on 
earth  was  I  to  handle  the  awful  expense 
of  this  private  room,  the  treatments? 

I  asked  Nurse  Soames  about  it,  in  a 
sort  of  panic.  She  smiled  knowingly. 
"That's  all  taken  care  of.  It  was,  two 
days  after  you  were  brought  in,  dear.  I'd 
say  you  have  a  very  devoted  boyfriend,  if 
you  asked  me." 

JOHNNY!     I  looked  at  the  vases  of 

flowers  on  the  dresser,  they'd  beerl 
coming  every  day  and  my  eyes  filled  witr  I 
weak  tears.  So  he  still  cared,  in  spite  oi  j 
everything ! 

"He's  certainly  a  fine  looking  fellow 
And  he's  been  haunting  the  hospital  unti 
you  can  see  company.  Maybe  this  after 
noon  we'll  let  him  in  for  a  few  minutes,  i 
you're  good." 

But,  when  she'd  combed  my  hair  am 
got  me  into  a  lacy  bed -jacket,  it  wasn' 
Johnny  Destinn  she  admitted.  It  was 
big,  brawny  Dan  Kelland,  trying  to  wal' 
softly,  fumbling  with  the  brim  of  his  too 
new  hat.  Dan  the  faithful  lover  whor 
I  had  spurned  and  left  behind  in  Gilesburg 

"Hello,  Myra !"  he  said.  "Feeling  soi 
of  chipper  again?    Oh,  honey.  .  .  ." 

I  looked  a  sight.  Thin  and  white,  an 
my  mouth  was  still  scarred  from  the  ack 
But  his  eager,  wistful  eyes  might  hav 
mirrored  the  loveliest,  most  seductiv 
creature  on  earth. 

"Why,  Dan  ..."  I  whispered,  in  m 
funny,  new  voice.  "Dan,  it's  been  yoi 
looking  after  me  all  this  time."  I  tried  t 
sit  up,  and  his  big  arm  slid  under  m 
shoulders.  He  didn't  have  to  tell  me  an} 
thing.  Johnny  hadn't  changed.  Not  wit 
his  job,  his  future  at  stake !  I  saw  it  a 
in  one  clear  vista.  He'd  probably  sei 
flowers,  and  phoned  once  or  twice  and  1 
it  go  at  that.  But  he  couldn't  risk  havir 
his  name  linked  with  mine  after  the  dami 
ing  publicity  of  my  abortive  suicide  a 
tempt,  could  he?  Oddly  enough,  I  didr 
care. 

He'd  failed  me  when  I  needed  him  mo; 
His  faith  and  his  love  hadn't  stood  up  u: 
der  the  strain.   But  Dan ! 

"It's  the  job  I've  always  wanted,  honey 
he  reminded  me  huskily.  I  touched  r 
eyes,  and  they  were  wet. 

He'd  come  straight  to  Mid-City,  the  d: 
he  read  of  my  ghastly  near-finale.  Gott 
himself  a  room  a  step  away  from  the  he 
pital,  stood  by — and  now  he  was  tellii 
me  again  about  that  lot  he'd  bought,  up 
the  Bluff,  overlooking  the  river  at  hon 
About  the  house  for  which  he  had  t 
plans. 

"Listen,   Dan."   I   said  when  I  cot 
speak.    "I'm  not  the  same  Myra  Gorm

sorry  for  me — you  want  to  make  thir*

easy  for  me.  But  it  wouldn't  be  fair,  Dan 
dear.  You  know  how  people  talk,  in  Giles- 
burg.  No,  Dan  .  .  .  no  .  .  ."  I  tried  to 
push  him  away,  even  though  the  warmth 
of  bis  arm,  the  feel  of  his  rough  blue  suit, 
was— well,  what  it  should  have  been,  long 

ag0" 

"Let  'em  try  talking  about  my  wife !"  he 
said.  "Myra— Gosh,  I'll  try  to  make  up 
for  everything,  honey !  Give  me  a  chance, 
won't  you?" 

We  were  married  the  day  I  left  the 
hospital.  A  week  later,  we  went  home.  It 
was  just  as  Dan  said.  Nobody  was  going 
to  cold-shoulder  Dan  Kelland's  wife 
whatever  she'd  done  or  been.  And  after 
all.  I  was  still  the  Myra  Gorman  who 
had  sung  to  a  million  eager  listeners-in. 

I  ought  to  be  very  happy.  Dan  is  the 
sweetest,  the  kindest  man  in  the  world. 
Our  house  is  lovely  and  Dan  is  doing 
well.  But  evenings,  after  supper,  when 
he  turns  on  the  radio,  something  worse 
than  any  homesickness  creeps  over  me.  I 
remember,  like  something  in  a  dream,  the 
tense  thrill  of  the  studio  just  before  a 
broadcast ;  the  marvelous  moment  of 
stepping  up  to  the  mike,  sending  my  torch 
song  over  the  networks  to  the  people 
who've  been  waiting  for  Myra  Gorman 
to  sing.  And  sometimes  it's  almost  more 
than  I  can  bear. 

But  there  are  always  the  supper  dishes. 


We  Salute  NBC

carillon  rings  the  loudest,  its  halls  are  the 
greatest  .  .  .  and  across  its  stage  moves  a 
flood-lighted  parade  that  reaches  from  hori- 
zon to  horizon. 

Like  all  great  undertakings,  it  becomes 
ultimately  a  story  of  great  faith.  Great 
faith  on  the  part  of  the  men  and  women 
who  have  helped  to  build  today's  broad- 
casting structure. 

For  instance,  there  is  David  Sarnoff, 
chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
NBC  and  president  of  the  Radio  Corpora- 
tion of  America.  Many  men  have  been 
pointed  out  as  the  father  of  modern  Ameri- 
can broadcasting.  Many  of  those  pointer- 
outers  endorse  David  Sarnoff  as  the  father 
of  all  fathers.  His  faith  and  his  vision, 
they  say,  provided  the  money  with  which 
experiments  were  made  until  the  clumsy 
baby  of  broadcasting  shed  its  swaddling 
clothes  and  walked  erect  like  a  man. 

There  is  the  man  known  everywhere  as 
"Deke"  Aylesworth.  His  story  and  that 
of  the  NBC  is  told  in  this  issue.  The  title 
is  "The  Saga  of  NBC."  There  is  a  woman 
named  Bertha  Brainard  who  was  pre- 
sented last  month  as  one  of  the  nine  most 
important  women  in  radio. 

These  people  had  faith  in  broadcasting, 
and  the  whirring,  stirring  sounds  that  echo 
in  eighteen  million  parlors  today  are  the 
result  of  that  faith.  This  issue  is  our  salute 
to  them  as  well  as  to  NBC.

Too  Hot  to  Broadcast 


$1,000  or  sentenced  to  a  year  in  jail  for 
each  day  that  the  offense  occurs.  In  other 
words,  if  a  station  broadcasts  the  names 
of  the  winners  in  a  sweepstakes  every  day 
for  a  month,  the  owner  may  be  fined 
$30,000  and  go  to  jail  for  thirty  years.  It's 
a  more  severe  sentence  than  is  given  for 
killing  a  man  in  some  states. 

Do  you  wonder  why  stations  are  care- 
ful ? 

And  here  are  a  few  more  Thou  Shalt 
Nots,  taken  from  the  Act  of  1934:  No 
station  can  put  on  a  paid  program  without 
announcing  that  it  is  sponsored.  Nor  can  a 
Squeedunk  station  tune  in  a  network  (or 
other)  program  and  rcbroadcast  it  without 
expressed  permission  from  the  station 
wherein  the  program  originates.  Nor  can 
anyone  send  out  false  distress  signals. 

That's  what  the  regulations  say,  so  I 
asked,  "What  does  the  Commission  consider 
obscene  or  indecent?  You  forbid  things  that 
are  permitted  to  appear  in  books,  maga- 
zines, movies  and  on  the  stage.  W  here  do 
you  draw  the  line  as  to  what's  too  hot  to 
broadcast?" 

The  reply  was,  "We  feel  that  every 
member  of  the  family  has  a  right  to  enjoy 
radio.  If  we  believe  that  parents  may 
consider  certain  material  harmful  to  their 
children,  we  disapprove  its  use  as  broad- 
cast material." 

I  got  an  even  more  concrete  statement 
from  Mr.  A.  A.  Commier,  until  recently 
general  manager  of  WOR,  the  largest  inde- 
pendent station  in  the  East.  "There  are 
three  words  which  are  taboo  on  WOR," 
Mr.  Commier  said.  "They  are  hell, 
damn,  and  nigger.  Of  course  the  two 
first  mentioned  may  be  used  in  sermons 
and  religious  talks,  but  we  delete  all  three 
from  songs,  sketches,  stories  and  similar 
broadcasts.  Nigger  is  taboo  because  the 
word  is  offensive  to  many  colored  people 
who  may  be  listening — and  rightly  so." 

I  didn't  ask  him  about  "Chink,"  "Mick," 
"Kike,"  "Wop,"  "Frog,"  "Greaser,"  but 
they,  too,  are  generally  banned. 

Mr.  Commier  continued,  "For  a  long 
time  WOR  refused  to  accept  broadcasts 
for  proprietary  medicines,  but  after  such 
programs  had  become  usual  on  other  major 
stations,  we  let  down  the  bars.  Even  after 
that,  the  advertising  of  laxatives  was  not 
permitted  by  any  of  the  major  stations,  and 
it  is  only  lately  that  they  have  relaxed  this 
ruling. 

"Dramatic  scripts  and  stories  are  care- 
fully read  in  our  continuity  department 
prior  to  broadcasting,  and  any  risque  allu- 
sions or  objectionably  passionate  love  scenes 
are  rewritten  in  such  a  way  that  no  listener 
would  be  offended." 

Permitting  questionable  material  to  go 
on  the  air  would  not  only  offend  the 
listener,  but  would  react  unfavorably  to 
the  station  and  program  sponsor  as  well. 
Many  years  ago,  when  I  was  press  agent 
for  a  small  New  York  radio  station,  a 
couple  of  Irish  entertainers  broadcast  a 
song  about  "Mrs.  Murphy's  Goat."  It  was 
not  an  obscene  song  by  any  means,  in  fact 
it  was  available  on  phonograph  records. 
But  it  did  poke  fun  at  a  mythical  Mrs. 
Murphy.

(Continued  from  page  23) 

The  following  day  several  hundred  letters 
of  protest  were  received  from  Irish  listen- 
ers and  Irish  newspapers  called  the 
attention  of  their  readers  to  the  affront, 
suggesting  that  they  resent  it.  The  whole 
affair  was  as  unintentional  as  it  was  re- 
grettable, but  it  took  the  station  many 
weeks  to  reinstate  itself  in  the  good  graces 
of  its  Gaelic  listeners. 

How  a  station  tries  to  protect  its  adver- 
tisers against  such  contingencies  was  an- 
other thing  Mr.  Commier  explained.  One 
sponsor  wished  to  broadcast  a  contest  in 
which  only  a  single  winner  would  receive 
a  prize — and  the  contest  entailed  con- 
siderable work  on  the  part  of  entrants.  The 
station  refused  to  accept  an  advertising

He  announces  from  San  Francisco. 

contract  from  the  sponsor,  because  it  felt 
that  all  the  contestants  except  the  one 
winner  would  be  disgruntled  and  resentful. 

Another  advertiser  wished  to  give  a 
daily  report  of  automobile  accidents — and 
the  station  refused  to  accept  it,  because  it 
would  tend  to  diminish  the  pleasure  which 
radio  listeners  found  in  motoring.  A  third 
program  was  put  off  the  air  simply  be- 
cause it  was  tiresome  and  boring. 

The  situation  was  summed  up  when  Mr. 
Commier  said,  "Stations  are  largely  guided 
by  that  one  phrase  in  the  regulations  gov- 
erning their  operation.  They  simply  have 
to  decide  whether  any  given  broadcast  is 
in  'the  public  interest,  coiwenience,  and 
necessity.'  For  example,  no  propaganda 
against  the  people  or  subversive  to  the 
authorized  government  of  the  United 
States  may  ever  go  on  the  air." 

The  same  is  true  at  the  networks,  though 
they  insist  that  "there  is  no  censorship." 
It  has  to  be  true,  for  it's  only  common 
sense.     A  chain   station  continuity  man, 


after  being  subjected  to  what  almost 
amounted  to  a  third  degree,  broke  down 
and  confessed  that  they  would  not  broad- 
cast information  relative  to  birth  control, 
nor  would  they  permit  speakers  to  solicit 
funds,  misstate  facts,  or  utter  slanderous 
remarks.  There  is  a  good  reason  for  the 
latter  stand.  A  station  over  which  a  libel- 
ous statement  is  broadcast  is  just  as  liable 
for  damages  as  is  the  man  who  makes  the 
statement. 

CCRIPTS  by  experienced  radio  broad- 
casters,  he  said,  do  not  ordinarily  need 
cleaning,  for  the  writers  know  what  is  and 
what  is  not  permitted.  But  amateurs,  or 
even  professionals  who  have  never  done 
any  radio  work,  almost  invariably  try  to 
put  smart  or  ultra-sophisticated  gags  into 
their  comedy  skits.  And  then  they  wonder 
why  their  scripts  bounce  back! 

I  next  went  to  some  advertising  agencies. 
One  executive  refused  to  comment.  It 
wouldn't  do  his  stars  any  good,  he  said,  to 
have  radio  listeners  know  that  their 
comedy  had  to  be  cleaned  up.  It  would 
be  even  worse  to  let  them  know  that  the 
comics  didn't  write  their  own  script. 

Another  agency  was  more  willing  to 
discuss  the  subject.  Here  the  continuity 
chief  told  me  that  they  had  broadcast  a 
series  of  true  police  stories.  Before  these 
went  on,  they  were  submitted  to  Edward 
Mulrooney,  then  Commissioner  of  Police, 
and  J.  Edgar  Hoover,  head  of  tne  Federal 
investigators,  who  suggested  the  deletion 
of  how  the  police  obtained  information  en- 
abling them  to  make  arrests. 

Even  then  other  cuts  had  to  be  made, 
for  the  radio  audience  considered  brutal 
killings  too  hot  to  broadcast  and  wrote 
letters  of  protest.  Crime  was  made  very 
unattractive  in  the  series,  then,  as  a  conse- 
quence, men  in  the  penitentiary  objected, 
saying  that  So  and  So,  who  shot  the  cop 
in  the  bank  stickup,  wasn't  really  such  a 
rat  as  the  script  made  him  out. 

The  use  of  hell,  damn  and  Jesus  is  also 
taboo  at  this  agency.  When  the  script 
calls  for  a  tough  guy,  he  has  to  be  hard 
without  being  profane  or  blasphemous. 
"But."  said  my  informant,  "our  writers 
have  evolved  a  technique  whereby  they 
can  avoid  such  terms  without  sounding  like 
'Little  Women.'  Why,  at  one  time  the 
stations  wouldn't  even  let  them  use  belly  or 
lousy,  but  the  rules  have  eased  off  on  that." 

In  crime  broadcasts  the  writers  have  to 
be  very  careful  in  naming  the  criminal. 
Letters  have  been  received  from  Jews, 
Italians,  Irish  and  Greeks  (including  a 
foreign  consul)  objecting  because  they 
considered  it  an  affront  that  the  criminal's 
nationality  or  religion  was  the  same  as 
their  own. 

Despite  what  the  stations  say  about  there 
being  no  censorship,  the  agencies  claim  to 
have  felt  it.  One  agency  man  told  me, 
"The  payoff  is  station  censorship.  The 
only  fault  we  have  to  find  with  it  is  that 
it's  not  intelligent.  Scripts  are  read  by 
men  whose  job  it  is  to  find  something  to 
cut  and  they  often  delete  stuff  which  is 
amusing  and  entirely  innocuous.  If  the 
cut  is  unimportant,  we  let  it  go,  but  some- 


RADIO  STARS 


imes  we  carry  the  fight  right  through  and 
he  stations'  sales  departments  consistently 
ide  with  us." 

That's  what  the  agencies  say.  Now  shall 
ve  look  at  a  few  concrete  examples? 

REMEMBER  when  in  the  Amos  'n'  Andy 
*  series  one  of  the  boys  was  on  trial  for 
nurder?  If  you  recall,  that  sequence  ended 
vith  the  whole  murder,  including  the  trial, 
ieing  just  a  dream  that  Amos  was  having. 
*adio  listeners  gave  it  that  ending  for  they 
ibjected  to  having  Amos  really  tried  for 
nurder,  because  they  iust  couldn't  stand 
learing  him  suffer. 

Fred  Allen  went  on  the  air  with  some 
rags  about  "The  Full  Moon  Nudist

dso  quipped  about  "nudism  helping  a  girl 
:et  a  lot  of  things  off  her  chest."  Eddie 
Cantor  has  had  nudist  wisecracks.  But  those 
lays  are  gone  forever.  The  moguls  have

Despite  what  the  stations  rule — no 
matter  how  strictly  they  try  to  enforce 
.ensorship  (if  censorship  does  exist)  — 
there  are  occasional  lapses.  After  dinner 
speakers  at  banquets,  even  in  the  days 
before  repeal,  sometimes  have  off-color 
stories.  Even  men  giving  prepared  speeches 
will  sometimes  mutter,  sotto  voce,  but  loud 
enough  for  the  microphone  to  catch, 
"Where  the  hell's  the  next  damn  page?-'  as 
happened  in  the  last  election  campaign.  A 
bedtime  story  teller,  thinking  he  was  off  the 
air,  concluded  his  talk  with,  "I  hope  that 

holds  the  little   s  until  tomorrow." 

The  next  day  he  didn't  have  a  job. 

Recently  a  station  broadcasting  a  benefit 
aired  the  words  of  a  master  of  ceremonies 
who  was  speaking  extemporaneously.  He 
told  a  risque  joke — and  the  next  day  the 
station  had  a  warning  from  the  Commission. 

Do  you  blame  the  stations  if  they're 
careful ? 


Here  he  is,  folks!  The  new  Captain

TAKE  CARE . . 
COLDS-SUSCEPTIBLE! 

AN  EMINENT  physician  states  that  of  the  60,000  pre- 
x  \  veritable  deaths  yearly  in  the  U.  S.,  many  are  due 
to  neglect  of  the  common  cold.  It  is  vitally  important, 
therefore,  that  colds  be  kept  under  control. 
If  you  catch  cold  easily — and  your  colds  hang  on — don't 
take  needless  chances.  Follow  Vicks  Plan  for  Better  Con- 
trol of  Colds.  Thousands  of  clinical  tests,  supervised  by

By  paying  attention  and  taking  notes  hi 
the  courses  on  psychology  you  could  have 
learned  enough  about  human  nature  to 
double  your  batting  average,  whatever 
your  business.  That  little  extra  hatful  of 
knowledge  would  have  given  you  the 
courage  to  brace  the  boss  for  a  raise.  It 
would  have  helped  you  understand  your 
boy  friend  much  better  and  given  you 
happier  moon  times  together.  Wherever 
you  came  in  contact  with  people  it  would 
have  helped. 

/"UDDLED  up  beside  your  loud-speaker 
you  could  have  learned  how  to  get  the 
most  out  of  your  own  speaking  voice.  Not 
for  making  speeches,  but  to  make  your 
words  count  among  your  friends,  at  the 
office,  over  the  telephone.  And  if  the  op- 
portunity arose,  that  knowledge  would  have 
helped  you  no  end  in  breaking  into  the 
radio  or  movies. 

You  could  have  followed  the  world 
through  its  history  from  Cain  to  Dillinger. 
You  could  have  become  acquainted  with 
the  good  plays  of  all  time  from  Euripides 
to  Elmer  Rice.  What  could  you  not  have 
learned?  Electricity,  astronomy,  banking 
and  the  Einstein  Theory.  With  Einstein 
himself  at  the  mike.  Even  arithmetic.  And 
how  to  cook  and  what  to  cook,  how  to  keep 
beautiful,  how  to  sew,  how  to  take  care  of 
a  baby  and  how  to  make  a  boy  eat  spinach. 
Yes,  and  about  rock  gardens  and  vegetable 
gardens,  and  window  boxes,  ferns,  fertil- 
izers and  bugs.  How  to  build  a  house,  lay 
a  walk,  paint,  sculpture,  whittle  and  wattle, 
how  to  collect  postage  stamps  and  how  to 
eat  peas  without  becoming  a  sword 
swallower. 

There's  a  broadcast  called  the  Ameri- 
can School  of  the  Air.  It's  part  of  our 
university  and  it's  mentioned  here  just  to 
give  you  an  example.    Its  teachers  are  top- 


(Continucd  from  page  27) 

notchers  from  all  parts  of  the  country. 
History,  civics,  geography,  music,  drama, 
art,  literature  and  science  are  taught  sci- 
entifically. It  goes  into  45,000  schools 
regularly,  which  means  that  about  6,000,000 
kids  listen  to  it  as  part  of  their  daily 
routine.  When  Long  Beach  and  other 
towns  in  California  were  wrecked  by  the 
earthquake  it  was  that  school  which  took 
over  the  work  of  the  disrupted  school 
system,  and  carried  on  for  weeks,  giving 
the  children  the  only  instruction  they 
received. 

Mothers  also  listen.  Some  never  went 
to  school  and  clutch  at  this  as  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  up  for  what  they  have  lost. 
Others  who  went  to  school,  take  it  as  an 
opportunity  to  brush  up.  Fathers  listen. 
They  are  from  all  walks  of  life:  bank 
presidents,  factory  foremen,  boss  carpenters 
and  laborers.  They  like  these  simple  les- 
sons. Almost  as  many  adults  as  children 
tune  in  on  the  program.  The  total  of 
listeners  is  estimated  at  11,000.000. 

THE  folks  down  CBS  way  who  run  the 
school  told  of  receiving  a  letter  from  an 
aged  Negress,  not  long  after  they  had 
broadcast  the  story  of  the  Battle  of  New 
Orleans.  She  said  the  broadcast  was  per- 
fect and  she  ought  to  know  because  she 
was  one  of  General  Jackson's  slaves.  If 
you  had  gone  to  dear  old  Radio,  you  would 
know  that  General  Jackson,  known  as  Old 
Hickory  and  the  hero  of  New  Orleans 
later  became  President  of  the  United 
States. 

.  There  are  other  stories  like  that.  One 
is  about  a  blind  man  who  had  recovered 
the  use  of  his  eyes.  He  became  very  fond 
of  reading  but  he  wrote  that  if  he  were 
given  a  choice  between  the  knowledge  to 
be  derived  from  books  and  from  radio,  he 
would  give  up  his  eyesight  rather  than  lose 
his  radio  school. 


Two  of  America's  most  famous  favorites — you  need  no  introduction  to

Then  there's  the  funny  story  about  the 
lumberjack  who  acquired  a  reputation  as 
a  highbrow  in  a  Missouri  logging  camp 
simply  because  he  had  fallen  into  the  habit 
of  listening  to  Walter  Damrosch's  Friday 
morning  Music  Appreciation  hour.  The 
boss  of  the  camp  went  so  far  as  to  appoint 
the  logger  camp  librarian  when  someone 
sent  out  a  truckload  of  books. 

The  Music  Appreciation  hour  is,  of 
course,  the  biggest  and  most  popular  course 
in  the  university.  Twenty-five  per  cent  of 
all  the  schools  in  the  United  States — about 
60,000 — get  it  regularly  and  weave  it  into 
their  regular  scheme  of  instruction.  Note- 
books, prepared  specially  for  the  course, 
have  been  sent  to  6,000,000.  Every  school- 
child  in  Dallas,  Texas,  for  example, 
possesses  a  notebook.  Total  listeners 
number  roughly  15,000,000. 

This  course  is  in  its  seventh  year  and 
already  possesses  a  large  group,  number- 
ing several  millions,  who  have  completed 
the  four-year  course  in  Music  Appreciation. 

Said  Mr.  Damrosch,  "They  have  learned 
to  distinguish  the  different  instruments  of 
the  orchestra  and  how  the  master  com- 
posers have  used  them  in  combination  with 
each  other.  They  have  learned  something 
of  the  development  of  music  from  the 
simpler  song  forms  to  the  most  compli- 
cated symphonies  of  Beethoven  and  the 
music-dramas  of  Wagner,  all  of  which 
come  over  the  radio. 

C  ROM   this  vast   throng  of  musicians, 
created  by  radio,  will  come  the  song 
writers,  conductors  and  concert  masters  of 
tomorrow. 

There  are  no  walls  aro'  nd  our  college. 
It  is  all  mixed  up  with  life  as  it  is  lived 
in  the  world  outside.  The  news  is  part  of 
the  day's  work.  In  fact,  news  often  comes 
in  and  breaks  right  on  the  college  campus 
— as  when  Roosevelt  was  shot  at  down  in 
Miami. 

The  President  has  spoken  more  than 
twenty  times.  When  he  speaks  the  40,000; 
000  in  the  student  body  cluster  and  listen. 
This  is  the  university's  star  attractioi 
Members  of  the  Cabinet  have  also  spoken 
Senators  and  Congressmen.  Ambassadors 
And  hundreds  of  small  fry.  All  explaining 
the  exciting,  engrossing  events  that  hav< 
taken  place  since  F.  D.  R.  entered  thf 
White  House. 

Oceans  don't  bother  the  university.  T(, 
its  myriad  halls  come  kings  and  their  music 
The  sound  of  bells  in  London ;  the  voice 
of  choristers  in  Rome;  the  barking  o 
Hitler  and  Mussolini ;  the  call  of  the  muez 
zin  in  Cairo ;  the  guitar  of  a  Spanis! 
serenader;  the  nasal  quarrels  of  orator 
in  the  Paris  Chamber  of  Deputies.  Fran; 
Buck  walks  you  through  the  jungle;  Burt 
on  Holmes  shows  you  a  mosque ;  Riple 
introduces  you  to  a  man  whose  hald  hea 
is  shaped  like  a  second  face.

ire  also  common.  Then  there's  one  about 
1 1  lass  marooned  on  a  farm  twenty  miles 
from  nowhere  with  a  month-old  baby  and 
sick  husband.  She  turned  the  dials.  Out 
)f  the  magic  box  flowed  a  voice  telling  her 
■xactly  what  to  do.  Mother  and  child  are 
loing  well. 

There*s  good  advice  in  them  thar  waves. 
Advice  from  preachers  of  every  sect. 
Hymns  that  raise  the  spirit.  Lessons  in 
tolerance  and  the  way  to  behave.  Respect 
for  other  nations,  respect  for  neighbors, 
the  -real  meaning  of  a  square  deal.  The 
church  is  an  important  part  of  the  uni- 
versity, but  it  comes  to  the  students  with- 
out a  straitjacket  of  creed.  It  is  pure 
religion,  pure  goodness.  Protestants  write 
to  Catholic  priests  and  devout  Catholics 
rejoice  in  the  words  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Harry 
Emerson  Fosdick. 

The  morning  exercises  fix  up  the  body, 
the  evening  vespers  invigorate  the  soul. 
Politics  are  taught  from  poll  to  poll ;  busi- 
ness from  idea  to  dollar;  the  social  life 
from  fork  handling  to  wife  handling.  When 
the  problem  of  what  to  do  with  the  leisure 
created  by  the  NRA  arose,  old  Radio 
rushed  in  to  fill  the  breach  with  lectures 
on  hobbies.  No  less  than  750  hobbies  were 
and  are  being  discussed  in  detail  on  stations 
everywhere. 

The  greatest  university  in  the  world  is 
not  exclusive  to  the  networks.  Local  sta- 
tions everywhere  bear  down  heavily  on 


education.  The  University  of  Chicago  is 
on  the  air  from  dawn  to  midnight,  using 
all  Chicago  stations.  WLW  at  Cincinnati, 
which  this  fall  becomes  the  nation's  most 
powerful  station,  will  use  its  new  power 
to  spread  the  Ohio  School  of  the  Air  over 
half  the  nation.  For  the  last  few  years 
this  complete  radio  school  system  has  been 
reaching  about  five  states.  Now  it  will 
cover  the  Middle  West. 

In  1934,  twenty  per  cent  of  all  programs 
broadcast  were  strictly  educational.  An- 
other thirty  per  cent  were  classical  music, 
news,  political  talks  and  other  features 
which  possessed  cultural  value.  Thus,  half 
of  the  programs  were  college  material. 

Now,  a  little  tip  for  the  girls  and  boys 
who  really  want  to  get  the  most  out  of  this 
bowl  of  cherries  we  call  life.  A  tip  from 
the  inside.  The  coming  year  will  see  the 
amount  of  radio  education  increased  at 
least  fifty  per  cent.  The  subjects  now 
being  taught  will  be  given  more  elaborately. 
New  subjects  will  be  introduced.  Better 
teachers,  more  dramatic  presentations, 
more  convenient  listening  hours. 

You  can  improve  your  chances  for  suc- 
cess and  happiness  by  sitting  down  regu- 
larly to  a  good,  serious  listen-in.  Time  is 
cash.  Budget  your  time.  Your  radio  time. 
And  make  it  pay  dividends  by  extending 
your  knowledge  of  life  and  things,  widen- 
ing your  practical  capacities,  and  deepening 
your  social  and  spiritual  relations. 


Jilted  Into  Fame 


(Continued  from  page  4°) 


revived.  One  day,  in  a  moment  of  fire,  it 
reached  the  climax. 

"Can't  you  wait,  darling,"  Dick  begged. 
"As  soon  as  I  have  my  own  band  and  I'm 
settled  in  a  good  spot,  I'll  have  the  time 
and  money  to  do  all  the  things  you  want 
to  do." 

"Oh,  you  and  your  band !"  she  cried. 
"You  may  have  to  wait  years.  Either  now 
or  never!" 

Hot  words  passed  and  in  a  blaze  of  fury 
she  left — for  good. 

Even  though  their  temperaments  and 
ideas  were  so  different,  Himber  really 
loved  the  girl.  He  was  young  and  impres- 
sionable and  when  he  realized  that  she 
meant  what  she  said — that  she  was  definite- 
ly through  with  him — he  felt  that  the 
bottom  had  fallen  out  of  his  world. 

COME  men  might  have  gone  on  a  jag 
trying  to  forget,  but  it  had  a  strange 
effect  on  Himber.  Somehow  it  woke  him 
out  of  his  easy-going  complacency,  stirred 
up  his  ego.  He  felt  resentful  and  miserable 
at  her  lack  of  confidence  in  him.  Then  and 
there  he  made  up  his  mind  that  he  was 
going  to  prove  to  her  how  wrong  she  was. 
Before  this  he  had  been  making  his  plans 
slowly  and  trusting  to  luck  to  give  him  the 
breaks.  Now  he  determined  to  go  to  any 
extreme  to  realize  his  ambition.  Nothing 
could  stop  him!  So  you  see,  it  was  more 
to  show  her  what  he  really  could  do,  than 
just  personal  ambition  that  spurred  him  to 
his  unusual  plan. 
After  making  the  rounds  of  all  the  hotels, 


he  discovered  that  they  had  already  booked 
bands  for  the  season.  Sitting  in  his  room 
in  the  Essex  House,  deciding  on  his  next 
move,  he  hit  upon  his  bold  scheme.  The 
Essex  House  had  no  orchestra.  Several 
times  they  had  turned  him  down  when  he 
broached  the  subject,  saying  that  they  did 
not  care  to  go  to  the  extra  expense.  But 
now  he  had  a  plan  which  they  couldn't 
possibly  refuse. 

He  stood  before  the  manager  explaining 
it.  "Yes,  I'll  pay  the  band  out  of  my  own 
money.  You  don't  have  to  put  in  a  red 
cent.  Why  not  give  me  a  chance  and  trj 
it.    You  have  nothing  to  lose." 

That's  how  he  got  the  "job."  As  he 
walked  back  to  his  room,  his  emotions  were 
mixed  with  joy  and  fear.  Here  was  his 
chance — "Richard  Himber  and  his  Orches- 
tra" from  now  on.  He  would  occupy  a 
place  in  the  sun  and  would  be  able  to 
show  off  his  new  musical  ideas.  But  then 
on  the  other  hand  he  was  going  to  invest 
every  cent  he  had.  He  had  exactly  $12,000 
in  the  bank  and  he  was  going  to  put  all  of 
it  up  to  pay  his  band.  He  was  playing  a 
long  shot,  but  he  had  everything  to  win — 
and  everything  to  lose. 

He  did  all  of  the  work  himself.  Got 
the  musicians,  labored  over  his  new  ar- 
rangements, rehearsed  his  men  and  rushed 
around  to  the  radio  stations  until  he  got 
an  extensive  hookup.  He  took  the  saxo- 
phonist out  of  the  band  because  he  recog- 
nized in  him  a  glorious  tenor  voice,  and 
coached  and  trained  him  to  be  his  vocalist. 
The  boy  is  Joey  Nash.

IN  7-DAY 
MANICURE  TEST 


Test  proves  Chic  Nail  Polish  equal  to 
"salon"  polishes  costing  75c  or  more 


This  test  was  made  with  Chic,  costing  only 
10c,  on  one  hand  and  an  expensive  "salon" 
polish  on  the  other.  The  polishes  were  sup- 
plied in  plain  unlabeled  bottles,  simply  marked 
"A"  and  "B."  The  women  testing  them  did 
not  know  which  was  which. 


After  7  days'  wear  the  results  show — 


81%  find  Chic  equal  to  costly  salon  polishes 
or  better  .  .  .  and  two  out  of  three  of  them 
say  Chic  is  actually  better  and  give  definite 
reasons  for  saying  so ! 

This  test  proved  to  them  that  Chic  Nail  Polish 
applied  evenly  and  did  not  crack  or  peel  .  .  . 
that  Chic  retained  its  color  .  .  .  that  its  luster 
was  of  lasting  quality. 

You  can  make  this  simple  test  yourself  and 
discover  a  really  fine  polish  for  only  10c.

EINALLY,  the  night  of  the  opening, 
Richard  Himber  and  his  orchestra  were 
presented  to  the  public.  It  was  an  orches- 
tra different  from  most  of  the  others  his 
audience  had  heard.  There  was  an  under- 
current of  sadness  to  even  his  most  lilting 
dance  tunes.  This  was  the  first  time  they 
had  heard  the  classical  harp  play  such  an 
important  part  in  a  modern  dance  band.  It 
was  strangely  thrilling. 

Himber  felt  that  he  was  made.  But  he 
was  counting  his  chickens  too  soon.  He 
was  very  popular  at  the  Essex  House  and 
he  was  building  up  a  radio  following,  but 
no  worthwhile  offers  had  come  his  way 
and  he  was  still  paying  his  men  out  of  his 
own  pocket.  Now  $12,000  is  a  lot  of 
money,  but  can  you  realize  what  it  means 
to  pay  a  flock  of  high-priced  musicians 
every  week?  In  less  than  three  months 
Dick  Himber's  bankroll  had  melted  away 
to  exactly  five  dollars. 

That  Friday  night,  as  he  stood  before 
his  orchestra  weaving  his  baton  and  smiling 
to  the  dancers,  a  feeling  of  terror  clutched 
at  his  heart.  He  dreaded  facing  the  boys 
to  tell  them  that  the  orchestra  would  have 
to  disband.    And  what  about  himself?  His 


opera  singer  has  found  the  one  woman 
at  whose  feet  he  can  place  all  the  ardor, 
all  the  understanding,  all  the  beauty  of  his 
romantic  and  intense  devotion. 

So  if  you  want  to  warble,  learn  how 
to  love,  surely  this  is  easy  medicine  for 
you  who  want  to  sing. 

There  are  other  things  besides  love  that 
Mr.  Tibbett  says  have  enriched  his  life, 
made  him  live  fully.  The  first  is  his  love 
of  nature. 

Then,  too,  he  thinks  that  his  intense  in- 
terest in  people,  his  morbid  curiosity  to 
know  about  them,  has  also  helped  him 
to  lead  a  full  life.  And  then,  there's  eating, 
which  Mr.  Tibbett  says  is  his  besetting 
sin. 

There  are  several  incidents  in  Mr. 
Tibbett's  career  which  demonstrate  the 
artist  as  a  man  who's  lead  a  colorful  and 
dramatic  existence,  the  kind  of  existence 
he  claims  is  necessary  to  become  a  great 
singer.  I  wish  I  could  tell  you  all  of  the 
instances  that  I  know,  but  at  least  I 
must  lift  the  curtain  on  a  few  anecdotes 
for  you. 

For  instance,  when  Tibbett  made  his 
first  disastrous  marriage,  he  had  saved 
$500.  But  reckless  youngster  that  he  was, 
he  bought  some  new  clothes  and  took  his 
young  bride  on  a  sumptuous  honeymoon, 
from  which  he  returned  with  exactly 
two  dollars  and  thirty-five  cents  with 
which  to  face  the  world. 

Then  there  was  a  time  Tibbett  was  sing- 
ing the  role  of  "Neri"  at  the  Metropolitan 
while  Madame  Frances  Alda  (then  the 
boss,  Gatti-Casazza's  wife)  was  playing  the 
part  of  his  faithless  mistress.  The  part 
called  for  Tibbett  to  fly  into  a  jealous 
rage  at  Alda ;  to  be  brutal,  murderous, 
powerful.  He  was !  While  any  other 
singer  would  have  handled  the  influential 
boss's  wife  with  kid  gloves,  Tibbett  told 


daring  itJea  had  flopped— and  with  it  his 
dreams.    He  felt  his  world  crumbling. 

Suddenly,  like  a  Good  Samaritan  stepping 
from  behind  a  dark  cloud,  a  telegram  ar- 
rived for  Dick.  As  he  opened  it  his  wor- 
ried face  broke  into  a  broad  grin.  It  was 
from  Pierre  Roche,  an  advertising  man  in 
Chicago,  who  was  listening  in  to  the  boys 
on  his  radio. 

"PLANNING  BIG  RADIO  SHOW 
FOR  STUDEBAKER  STOP  WOULD 
LIKE  YOU  AND  YOUR  ORCHES- 
TRA STOP  ARE  YOU  INTER- 
ESTED?" 

Was  he  interested !  Dick  faced  his  men 
with  a  beaming  smile  and  waved  his  baton 
more  energetically  than  ever. 

From  then  on,  it  was  comparatively 
simple.  They  clicked.  Besides  the  Stude- 
baker  show  they  play  at  the  swank  Ritz- 
Carlton  Hotel  and  dozens  of  others  are 
Lidding  for  their  services.  Yes,  Richard 
Himber  is  a  name  that  means  something 
today. 

And  if  it  hadn't  been  for  a  certain  girl 
who  walked  out  of  his  life  and  left  a 
big  dent  in  his  heart  he  might  still 
be  working  for  some  other  bandleader. 


me  that  he  was  so  determined  to  do  jus- 
tice to  his  role  that,  throwing  caution  to 
the  winds,  he  also  threw  Madame  Alda 
to  the  floor !  For  a  time  he  despaired 
of  the  operatic  sky  clearing  again,  and 
his  fellow  artists  even  took  to  humming 
Chopin's  "Funeral  March"  upon  seeing 
him.  But  Madame  Alda,  whom  I  realized 
the  one  time  I  met  her,  was  a  remarkable 
woman,  forgave  the  young  singer. 

Another  instance  of  the  colorful  exist- 
ence that  was  Lawrence  Tibbett's,  oc- 
curred in  the  amusing  episode  at  a  Holly- 
wood celebrity  party,  where  Tibbett  was 
asked  to  sing  in  Russian.  This  was  a 
language  of  which  he  knew  not  one  word, 
but  he  obligingly  rose  and  improvised 
sounds,  sobbed,  ejaculated,  emoted.  At  the 
end  of  the  song,  according  to  Mr.  Tibbett, 
all  the  gathering,  including  Charlie  Far- 
rell,  Janet  Gaynor,  Robert  Montgomery 
and  Leslie  Howard,  applauded  violently. 
An  actress,  who  claimed  noble  Russian 
ancestry,  came  up  with  tears  in  her  eyes 
and  said,  "It  was  tremendous — my  favorite 
aria — wonderful !"  Tibbett,  who  in  reality 
had  not  sung  one  real  Russian  word,  pro- 
tested that  his  accent  was  not  good.  "You 
are  too  modest,"  the  so-called  Russian  ac- 
tress replied,  "I  understood  every  word!" 

And  then,  there  was  the  tragically  drama- 
tic event  in  Tibbett's  boyhood.  He  can 
never  forget  how  one  of  his  playmates 
came  yelling  into  the  Tibbett  backyard  and 
told  him  that  a  bandit  had  killed  his  father. 
When  Lawrence  Tibbett  sang  in  "The  Girl 
of  the  Golden  West"  at  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  House  many  years  later,  the  whole 
dramatic  story  of  his  father's  death  swept 
over  him  and  made  him  sing  his  role  with 
a  realism  from  experience. 

For  Tibbett  himself  is  the  living  proof 
of  his  theory — that  to  sing  superlatively 
you  must  live  vividly.

at  brooks  no  inteference  or  denial.  Yes, 
spite  the  twinkling  eyes  and  an  all  'round 
pression  of  sweetness  and  motherliness 
ere  is  something  very  firm  about  Schu- 
inn-Heink.  And  she  fairly  radiates 
alth.  Her  silver  hair  is  glossy  and 
ve,  her  pink  and  white  skin  would  be 
e  envy  of  many  far,  far  younger  women, 
lile  the  eyes  that  twinkle  out  at  you  are 
e  windows  of  a  soul  still  young,  eager 
d  ambitious.  A  combination  of  so  much 
arm  and  personality  in  one  person  is 
tremely  rare.  That's  why  I  came  away 
Dm  our  interview  feeling  that  it  is  indeed 
privilege  to  meet  Madame  Schumann- 
cink.  And  I  shall  long  remember  sitting 
tranced  as  she  told  me  of  her  long  and 
sy  life  and  described  in  detail  the  days 
her  childhood  in  Austria.  Had  you 
ned  in  on  that  conversation  you  would 
ve  heard  her  saying : 


VHEN  I  was  a  child  we  were  very, 
very  poor.  My  father  was  an  officer 
the  Austrian  army.  My  mother  was 
alian.  I  was  the  oldest  child  and  there- 
re  had  many  responsibilities.  I  learned 
cook  early  in  life,  but  not  fancy  things, 
•od  things,  yes,  but  simple.  Over  here 
you  do  not  have  butter  and  meat  that 
considered  terrible.  In  my  home  in  the 
i  country  we  never  had  butter  and  meat 
is  a  treat  to  be  had  only  once  a  month 
len  my  father  was  paid.  And  even  then, 
,  you  suppose  we  children  got  the  meat 
y  mother  bought?  No-o-o — it  went  into 
stew  for  flavoring !  When  the  stew 
is  cooked  my  father  got  the  meat  while 
ch  child  had  one  little  bite,  so  big,  like 
is,"  and  Madame  measured  off  a  sec- 
>n  of  her  index  finger  to  indicate  the 
;e  of  the  piece.  "Soups,  vegetables,  cab- 
ge — much  cabbage — noodles,  potatoes, 
at  made  up  what  you  call  our  'daily 
enu.  Our  bread  was  made  by  my 
other  at  home  and  taken  to  the  ovens  of 
e  army  barracks  to  be  cooked.  At  other 
lies  we  ate  the  coarse  army  bread.  So 
>u  see  we  lived  very  simply  and  the 
ings  I  learned  to  cook  as  a  child  were 
>odles,  soup  and  marrow  balls,  and  dishes 
rule  with  potatoes  such  as  potato  pan- 
kes  and  potato  dumplings.  Later  on  in 
y  life,  when  I  started  my  career  as  a 
lger,  I  learned  to  make  a  few  fancier 
ings — not  many,  no,  for  mostly  I  was 

0  busy  to  cook.  As  prima  donna  I  had 
les  to  learn,  trips  to  make,  many,  many 
ities.  And  there  were  my  children — 
•  e  children !  They  kept  me  busy.  As 
ey  grew  up    they  learned  to  like  things 

eat  that  I  had  never  had. 
"Because  the  holiday  season  will  soon 
■  here  it  brings  to  my  thoughts  the  Christ- 
as  cookies  and  cakes  my  children  and 
tit  children  loved."  (Madame  pro- 
mnced  it  "loffed"  but  I  despair  of  trying 

convey  her  accent  to  you.) 
"There   was   one   kind   of   cake  they 
<ed  especially,"  she  continued,  warming 

her  subject,  "the  kind  the  Germans  call 
tollen  but  which  in  my  country  is  known 
<  Stritzle.  It  was  a  Christmas  speciality 

1  the  cook  I  had  for  many  years.  Her 
avarian  star  cookies  also  were  excellent ! 


I  am  glad  to  say  I  learned  to  make  those, 
so  that  at  Christmas  time  now  I  can  make 
them  for  my  great  grandchildren  and  mail 
a  box  to  each.  I  have  five  great  grand- 
children— such  a  big  family — scattered  all 
over  the  country.  Everybody  likes  my 
cooking  and  I  like  to  cook.  That  is  fine, 
ja?  I  loff  to  go  out  into  a  friend's  big 
kitchen  or  into  my  own  little  kitchen  in 
the  hotel  where  I  live  and  make  home- 
made noodles  and  other  good  things.  My 
own  kitchen  is  electric — ach,  wonderful, 
wonderful  is  it  not  when  you  think  that  in 
my  life  I  have  gone  from  the  coarse  bread 
baked  in  the  big  barracks  oven  to  Christ- 
mas Stritzle  cooked  in  a  hotel  suite  at  the 
turn  of  one  little  switch?" 

"I  have  tasted  Stollen,  or  Stritzle  as  you 
call  it,  but  never  the  homemade  variety,"  I 
told  Madame.  "The  very  thought  of  it 
makes  me  hungry.  Have  you  a  recipe  for 
the  kind  you  like?"  I  asked  hopefully. 

"Certainly — I  have.    I  will  copy  it  down 
for  you." 

"And  are  there  other  recipes  I  also 
might  have?"  I  suggested. 

"Which  ones  would  you  like?"  Madame 
inquired  generously. 

"Which  would  you  recommend  most 
highly?''  I  countered. 

"What  /  like  is  one  thing — what  you 
would  like  might  be  something  entirely 
different.  So  I  will  give  you  recipes  for 
the  kind  of  dishes  that  would  be  popular 
in  this  country,  that  is  if  people  knew  how 
to  make  them  as  we  did  in  the  old  country. 
I'll  give  you  two  potato  recipes — Potato 
Pancakes  and  Potato  Dumplings.  Then 
I'll  give  you  something  I  never  get  here 
unless  I  make  them  myself — that's  Mar- 
row Balls.  You  never  tasted  them,  no? 
They  add  so  much  to  soup  that  I  am  sur- 
prised that  so  few  people  ever  serve  them. 
Then  Bavarian  Cookies  for  the  kinder — 
we  must  not  forget  the  children  at  Christ- 
mas time,  that  would  be  too  bad  of  us. 
There,  is  that  enough  or  would  you  have 
more?" 

"Yes,  just  one  thing  more,"  I  begged,  "a 
good  stuffing  for  turkey.  I  once  tasted  a 
stuffing  made  by  a  Viennese  cook  and  I've 
been  trying  to  get  a  recipe  ever  since.  I 
never  tasted  its  equal  for  delicate  flavor  and 
fluffiness." 

"For  turkey?"  replied  Schumann  Heink 
in  mock  consternation.  "What  do  I  know 
about  turkey,  my  child?  I  never  even 
tasted  one  until  I  came  to  this  country  and 
then  others  cooked  your  native  bird  for  | 
me.  But  chicken  stuffing  I  can  make  and 
it  is  everything  you  seem  to  wish — so  good 
and  so  light  " 

"That's  what  I  want  then,"  I  assured 
her. 

I  discovered  after  using  Madame's  recipe 
that  it  makes  a  stuffing  quite  as  perfect  for 
turkey  as  it  is  for  chicken  and  one  even 
better  than  that  Viennese  stuffing  of  which 
I  had  such  fond  memories.  This  stuffing 
recipe  is  now  printed  as  one  of  this

He  Rode  to  Glory  on  a  Mouse 

{Continued  from  faQc  17) 


that  in  this  talented  rodent  he  held  the 
secret  of  the  success  that  still  eluded  him. 

In  those  days  everyone  was  talking 
about  Hollywood.  Boys  and  girls  in  their 
teens  were  trying  to  raise  the  fare  to  the 
Golden  West  where  they  could  share  in 
the  cinema  boom  that  was  skyrocketing 
such  stars  as  Wally  Reid  and  Mabel 
Normand. 

Walt  determined  to  seek  his  fortune 
there,  too.  He  arrived  in  Hollywood  with 
the  clothes  he  had  on  his  back,  an  extra 
sweater,  a  few  drawing  pencils,  forty 
dollars,  and  a  lot  of  worry  about  unpaid 
debts  left  behind.  He  had  also  brought 
along  a  reel  of  the  last  fairy  tale  he  had 
made. 

For  three  months  he  tramped  through 
the  town  trying  to  sell  it.  but  everybody 
told  him  the  same  thing — their  New  York 
office  might  be  interested.  With  a  prayer 
he  packed  it  up  and  sent  it  off. 

VOU'D  think  little  Mickey  Mouse  would 
'  be  pretty  disappointed  by  this  time,  sit- 
ting around  on  the  edges  of  Disney's 
drawings. 

As  yet  he  was  certainly  a  long  way 
from  becoming  a  national  hero.  But  he 
was  no  more  discouraged  than  the  un- 
complaining, always  smiling  chap  whose 
shoes  got  thinner  day  by  day. 

Finally,  timid,  patient,  long-suffering 
Mickey  got  his  chance.  With  his  last  cent 
gone,  Walt  went  to  his  brother  and  bor- 
rowed $250.  This  deal  later  turned  into  a 
partnership  whch  still  endures  with  the 
brother,  Roy,  as  business  administrator. 

It  was  this  windfall,  with  a  contract 
from  the  New  York  firm  to  which  he 
had  sent  his  film,  that  turned  the  tide. 
Probably  you  saw  some  of  the  first  pic- 
tures he  did.  They  were  about  a  little 
girl  who  played  with  fairies.  She  was 
pretty  terrible,  Walt  says,  and  he  chased 
her  back  to  fairyland  as  soon  as  possible. 
Oswald  the  Rabbit  was  his  next.  But,  as 
with  Alice.  Walt  wasn't  satisfied.  So  he 
boarded  a  train  for  New  York  to  see  the 
boss  about  it.  When  Walt  wanted  to  spend 
more  money  on  Oswald,  the  boss  got  mad. 
Walt  was  tossed  out  into  the  street,  and 
0>wald  went  marching  on  without  him. 

That  Mickey  should  get  his  chance  was 
inevitable  now.  Mickey  who'd  been  hang- 
ing around  on  the  backs  of  old  envelopes 
and  on  odd  scraps  of  drawing  board.  Be- 
fore the  train  pulled  into  Hollywood, 
Walt  and  his  wife,  who  had  been  one  of 
his  artists,  had  the  first  scenario  for 
Mickey  mapped  out.  As  soon  as  they  got 
home,  their  second-hand  car  was  dis- 
possessed and  Mickey  began  to  dance  in 
the  garage.  That  was  back  in  1927  when 
the  movies  were  just  beginning  to  find 
their  voice.  As  yet.  Mickey  didn't  even 
have  a  squeal.  So  Walt  found  him  one. 
Or  rather  Walt  talked  and  squealed  him- 
self blue  in  the  face.  And  then  he  gave 
to  his  poor,  defenseless  mouse  that  bleat- 
ing, quavering  falsetto  which  would  have 
disgraced  any  human  being,  but  sounded  in 
Mickey's  mouth  like  a  million  dollars. 


Soon  Hollywood  producers  were  knock- 
ing one  another  down  trying  to  get  Walt 
to  sign  on  the  dotted  line.  That  date, 
history  students  will  read  about  as  the 
beginning  of  the  Mickey  Mouse  Stampede. 

Theatres  started  showing  him  here  and 
there,  then  when  whirring  turnstiles 
marked  the  beat  of  a  new  juvenile  idol's 
climb,  scores  and  hundreds  of  theatres 
wired  for  additional  reels. 

|"\OLL  manufacturers  created  his  like- 
ness  and  spread  him  over  100.000  store 
counters:  breakfast  food  manufacturers, 
watchmakers  .  .  .  but  you  know  the  story- 
Mickey,  the  Amazing,  has  multiplied  and 
divided  himself  until  he  can  be  purchased 
in  more  than  600  different  forms. 

I  have  called  Walt  Disney  probably  the 
most  modest  man  in  the  world.  All  Holly-  j 
wood  knows  him  as  one  of  the  sanest.  | 
"It's  been  a  struggle,"  Walt  told  me  re- 
cently, "But  now  we're  on  our  feet,  out 
of  the  red — and  at  the  same  time  we  own 
and  control  the  company  ourself."  Those 
sentences  are  typical  of  Walt,  for  in  them 
he  never  once  used  what  Broadway 
columnists  call  the  perpendicular  pronoun. 
Always  he  thinks  of  his  company  as  "we." 

The  band  of  artists  who  began  in  a 
one-car  garage  have  increased  to  a  staff 
of  over  200 — artists,  technicians,  sound 
and  cameramen  and  business  administra- 
tors. The  crude  makeshift  apparatus  has 
gone  and  well  over  $150,000  has  been  spent 
on  the  most  up-to-the-minute  mechanisms. 

You  should  know  this,  too.  His  success 
hasn't  made  him  forget  the  other  fellow. 
His  employees  get  two  days  off  each  week 
to  play  and  he  pays  them  enough  so  that 
they  can  definitely  put  by  money  for  the 
day  when  they  want  to  pull  out.  But  it 
will  be  a  long  time  before  this  ever  hap- 
pens in  this  jolly  family.  They  arc  hav- 
ing too  good  a  time  working  for  Walt. 

Visitors  to  Hollywood  these  days  al- 
most always  ask  to  see  the  place  where 
Mickey  Mouse  is  made.  The  building  it- 
self is  modest  compared  to  other  Holly- 
wood studios.  But  a  large  electric  figure 
of  Mr.  Mouse  rampant  perches  atop  the 
building.  Just  inside  the  front  door  there 
is  a  coat  of  arms  bearing  the  distinctive 
inscription  "Ickymay  Ousemay." 

Outwardly.  Walt  Disney  is  no  different 
from  the  slim  brown-haired  fellow  who  j 
arrived  in  Hollywood  with  only  forty  dol- 
lars to  his  name.  He  still  gets  down  on  all 
fours  rapturously  to  observe  a  beetle 
drinking  a  drop  of  dew.  He  still  drives 
an  old  second-hand  car.  His  only  luxuries 
during  the  past  year  have  been  a  new 
frigidaire  and  a  baby.  Outwardly  Walt 
Disney  is  unspoiled  and  unaffected  by  the 
hubbub  of  the  world  acclaim  that  dins 
his  ears. 

I  like  to  think  of  him,  though,  in  con- 
nection with  that  spraddle-legged  mouse 
on  top  of  his  studio.  I  like  to  think  of 
that  triumphant  neon-lighted  Mickey  as 
a  symbol  of  Walt  Disney  himself :  modest, 
untiring,  quietly  intelligent  and — sitting 
on  top  of  the  world!

Stop  a 

COLD 

the  First 
Day! 

Drive  It  Out  of  Your  System 
— Roots  and  All! 

A COLD  once  rooted  is  a  cold  of  danger! 
Trust  to  no  makeshift  methods. 
A  cold,  being  an  internal  infection,  calls 
for  internal  treatment. 

A  cold  also  calls  for  a  COLD  remedy  and 
not  a  preparation  good  for  a  number  of  other 
things  as  well. 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  is  what  a 
cold  requires.  It  is  expressly  a  cold  remedy.  It 
is  internal  and  direct — and  it  does  the  four 
things  necessary. 

Four  Effects 

It  opens  the  bowels.  It  combats  the  cold 
germs  and  fever  in  the  system.  It  relieves  the 
headache  and  grippy  feeling  and  tones  the 
entire  system. 

Only  Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  sup- 
plies these  four  effects  and  anything  less  than 
that  is  inviting  trouble. 

Get  Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  at 
any  druggist,  35c  and  50c.  The  50c  size  is  the 
more  economical  "buy."  Ask  for  Grove's  Lax- 
ative Bromo  Quinine  by 
the  full  name  and  ac- 
cept no  substitute 
on  any  pretext.

Goodnight,  Mothei 


{Continued  from  page  15) 


the  room.  As  he  sang  he  sang  to  her  as 
had  done  so  many  times.  When  his  last 
ng  was  over,  it  was  as  if  he  were  closing 
door  and  going  up  to  bed.  Almost  as  a 
itter  of  course,  he  added  the  word, 
ither.  after  saying  the  conventional  good- 
*ht. 

The  friendship  between  them  goes  back 
that  far  day  when  he  was  two  years 
«d.  She  reports  that  little  Charlie  sang 
simple  church  hymn  through,  keeping  on 
y.  At  five  his  father  held  him  up  to 
,e  altar  rail  and  he  sang  before  the  con- 
cgation,  "Jesus,  Lover  of  My  Soul." 
When  father,  mother  and  son  traveled 
e  circuit  in  Pennsylvania,  Maryland  and 
her  states,  they  became  known  in 
lurches  as  the  Thomas  Trio.  Father 
ayed  the  organ,  mother  and  Charlie  sang, 
he  Trio  broke  up  when  the  boy  entered 
ep  school  and  for  a  time  his  history  be- 
.me  one  of  a  husky  kid's  prowess  as  a 
otball  player  and  high  jumper.  The 
lly  cue  for  his  mother's  entrance  came 
hen  he  dived  from  a  tree  into  a  swimming 
)le  and  stuck  head  down  in  the  mud.  He 
\  as  in  bed  for  two  days  grinning  up  be- 
veen  his  bandages  at  his  reproachful  par- 
it 

)REP  school  over,  he  started  studying 
medicine  in  Baltimore.  Medicine  was  his 
ission,  singing  his  pastime.  And  a  doc- 
>r  he  would  have  been  today  had  he  not 
1  chance  captured  a  scholarship  at  the 
eabody  Institute  of  Musical  Education  in 
altimore.  He  was  in  a  spot.  What  to 
o?  Father  told  him  he  must  make  his 
wn  decision.  Mother  said,  "Look  for 
ime  sign." 

Young  Thomas  made  the  sign  by  pitch- 
lg  into  the  air  an  old  Spanish  coin  she 
ad  once  given  him.  It  fell  heads  and 
e  became  a  singer.  Actually,  it  was  his 
lother  who  decided.  What  also  counted 
as  the  lad's  knowledge  of  how  poor  his 
arents  were,  how  hard  his  mother  worked 
nd  what  an  ordeal  it  would  be  for  them 
J  put  him  through  medical  school. 

To  understand  the  love  between  this 
mother  and  son,  and  the  great  career  which 
rew  out  of  it,  you  must  realize  that  he 
ot  where  he  is  by  his  capacity  for  hard 

ork.  A  habit  bred  in  him  by  his  parents. 
V  minister's  son  doesn't  usually  sell  news- 
apers,  deliver  groceries  and  do  odd  jobs" 
bout  town.  But  John  Charles  Thomas 
lid.  It  planted  in  him  the  habit  of  diligence 
nd  it  was  for  the  sake  of  the  habit  they 
et  him  work. 

From  Pcabody  he  went  to  New  York  to 
nter  the  field  of  operetta  under  Henry  W. 
ravage.  There  was  something  then,  as 
here  is  today,  about  his  voice  which  caught 
nd  thrilled  his  listeners.    His  name  went 


up  in  electric  lights.  But  urged  on  by  his 
mother-instilled  desire  for  perfection,  he 
was  not  content  to  remain  a  musical  com- 
edy star. 

What  he  did  took  courage,  the  kind  it 
takes  to  ride  a  Methodist  circuit.  Ab- 
ruptly he  decided  to  study  abroad  and 
prepare  him>elf  for  a  larger  career.  How 
many  of  you  would  have  the  grit  to  quit  a 
career  already  made,  for  the  uncertainties 
of  concert  and  opera? 

After  the  European  sojourn  he  returned 
to  America  and  began  giving  concerts.  At 
the  first  of  these  he  scheduled  two  songs 
by  a  young  fellow  from  Texas.  Xo  one 
had  ever  heard  of  him  but  Thomas  liked 
the  songs.  It's  true,  he  hesitated  to  risk 
the  success  of  his  debut  with  these  un- 
familiar ballads  but  the  memory  of  the 
young  Texan  depending  on  him  decided  it. 
He  gave  them  the  best  he  had  and  when 
he  had  finished  there  was  a  dead  silence. 
Thomas's  heart  started  to  drop.  Then  sud- 
denly a  blast  of  applause  split  the  air.  One 
of  the  ballads  was  entitled,  "Home,  Home 
on  the  Range." 

With  the  success  of  his  debut  came  a 
cable  offering  him  a  three  year  contract  to 
star  with  the  Royal  Opera  in  Brussels. 
Again  he  tossed  the  coin  his  mother  had 
given  him  and  it  sent  him  to  Brussels. 

What  followed  upon  his  return  from 
Europe,  a  finished  artist,  is  an  old  story 
to  most  of  you.  His  success  in  concert,  in 
radio,  in  grand  opera — these  were  things 
to  gladden  the  heart  and  reward  the  labors 
of  the  twinkling  lady  of  Towson.  Mary- 
land. Upon  his  return  to  his  home  he  told 
how  the  Thomas  Trio  had  gone  to  church 
as  of  old  and  there,  out  of  a  clear  sky,  his 
father  called  upon  him  to  sing. 

JOHN  CHARLES  THOMAS,  who  had 
sung  before  royalty  and  riff  raff,  who 
had  sung  his  first  song  in  just  this  kind  of 
church,  confesses  he  was  scared  witless. 

Do  not  carry  away  the  impression  that 
this  man  who  is  identified  in  the  mind  of 
radio  listeners  as  the  perfect  son  is  a 
mollycoddle,  a  mamma's  boy.  Look  at  his 
picture  and  remember  this  is  the  man  who 
smashed  his  knuckles,  sprained  his  wrist 
and  dislocated  his  arm  socking  a  taxi- 
driver  who  was  insulting  a  woman.  The 
man  who  almost  beat  Bobby  Jones  at  golf. 
The  man  who  played  football  against  Jim 
Thorpe. 

He  is  married  now  and  spends  his  sum- 
mers golfing,  fishing  and  tinkering  with 
a  houseboat  anchored  not  many  miles 
from  his  mother's  home.  And  working 
hard  as  usual.  In  the  1934-1935  season  he 
will  fill  seventy  singing  engagements  in 
radio,  concert  and  grand  opera  from  New 
York  to  New  Orleans  to  California.

Keep  Young  and  Beautifu 


(Continued  from  page  S) 


so  oily  that  a  foundation  cream  would 
re-appear  through  your  powder,  it's  wiser 
to  use  an  astringent  as  the  final  step  before 
powdering. 

When  you  powder,  try  beginning 
at  the  neck  for  a  change.  Work  up  to  the 
face,  and  powder  your  nose  last.  This 
means  reversing  the  order  for  most  women, 
and  gives  your  neck  the  assurance  of  a 
"'new.  deal."  Forgotten  necks  have  a  way 
of  showing  up  to  disgraceful  advantage  in 
low  necked  growns.  Pat  your  powder  on 
generously — very  generously — and  then 
jsmooth  the  excess  away  with  a  soft  powder 
brush.  That  is  much  better  than  putting 
on  one  skimpy  layer  of  powder  and  then 
"another,  with  your  poor  nose  coming  in 
for  about  half  a  dozen  retouchings. 
,  Did  you  know  that  it  is  the  smart  thing 
to  make  up  your  hands  and  arms  as  well 
as  your  face  for  evening?  First,  apply 
ja  vanishing  cream  or  hand  lotion  to  your 
hands  and  arms.  Wipe  off  any  oily  residue 
that  is  left  Then  apply  your  powder. 
Always  use  a  lighter  shade  of  powder 
than  on  your  face.  Rouge  the  tips  of  your 
.fingers  very  slightly.  Rosy  fingertips  are 
delightful  touches  to  femininity.  If  you 
will  apply  rouge  along  the  sides  of  the 
fingers  and  down  the  outside  of  the  hands, 
you  can  give  too  plump  hands  the  illu- 
sion of  slenderness. 

Fashions  have  gone  so  very  elegant 
and  shiny  with  the  glow  of  satin,  the 
sparkle  of  metal  cloths,  and  the  gleam 
of  transparent  velvet,  that  makeup  shades 
in  general  will  tend  to  be  brighter  and 
more  vivid.  Your  lipstick  can  be  like  a 
red  badge  of  courage  for  the  New  Year 
«(we  know  of  an  indelible  lipstick  that 
comes  in  the  most  inspiring  shades  of  red 
.  .  .  Coral,  Exotic,  Strawberry,  um-m), 
but  that  doesn't  mean  that  it  should 
make  your  mouth  look  like  a  brutal 
gash.  The  best  rule  I  can  give  you  for 
.applying  rouge  is  to  go  out  and  sweep 
the  snow  off  the  front  doorsteps,  and 
perhaps  the  sidewalk,  too;  and  then  come 
in  and  follow  nature's  lead  in  putting  on 
'your  rouge.  (Not,  of  course,  if  nature's 
lead  makes  your  nose  red.)  If  you  live 
on  the  tenth  floor  of  an  apartment  building, 
and  haven't  any  doorstep  to  sweep,  you'll 
have  to  content  yourself  with  slapping 
your  face  gently  until  the  natural  color 
comes  and  then  observing  where  nature 
iputs  the  color.  Do  likewise. 
.  Your  mascara  can  be  a  little  heavier 
for  evening,  and  eyeshadow  can  do  wonders 
for  you.  Experiment  with  different  shades 
and  blendings  of  eyeshadow.  You  don't 
know  what  exquisite  effects  you  can 
achieve  until  you  try.  and  note  we  said 
exquisite  and  not  bizarre!    Come  to  think 


of  it,  an  eye  makeup  kit,  with  eyebrow 
brushes,  mascara,  different  shades  of  eye- 
shadow, eyebrow  pencil,  and  maybe  even 
an  eye-wash,  would  make  a  unique  gift, 
and  an  appreciated  one. 

Let's  imagine  that  you've  had  a  very 
successful  evening  at  the  party,  that  you 
were  gazed  on  with  admiration  and  had 
every  dance  taken ;  but  now  it's  late  and 
you're  "simply  dead."  A  luke-warm  bath, 
with  plenty  of  lathery  soap,  perfumed 
water  softener,  and  an  aftermath  of  flower 
talcum,  will  be  a  tonic  to  your  spirit  as 
well  as  to  your  body.  Relax  completely, 
from  the  tips  of  your  fingers  to  the  end 
of  your  toes,  or  as  Amos  'n  Andy  would 
prefer  it  said — "Un-lax."  Incidentally, 
don't  forget  the  importance  of  a  deodorant 
these  days  and  nights.  Don't  ever  be  a 
wallflower  on  account  of  that! 

Your  mind  may  have  a  habit  of  insisting 
on  going  around  in  circles  after  you're  in 
bed,  and  you  keep  on  wondering  whether 
Bob  will  ask  you  for  a  New  Year's  Eve 
date,  or  if  you're  a  housewife,  whether 
to  have  oyster  or  plain  bread  stuffing  for 
the  holiday  bird  (you'll  probably  decide 
on  bread  after  you've  read  the  recipe  in 
this  month's  Radio  Stars  Cooking  School) 
or  whether  you  can  possibly  get  all  the 
things  done  the  next  day  that  you  have 
to  do.  Then  you  had  better  try  taking  some 
deep,  deep  breaths  in  front  of  the  open 
window  before  you  hop  into  bed.  Twenty 
deep  breaths  in  which  you  breathe  in 
all  the  peace  and  quiet  and  health  of  the 
outdoors,  and  your  lungs  will  be  rid  of 
the  stale  air  that  is  conducive  to  keeping 
stale  thoughts  revolving  in  your  head. 
Breathe  down  to  the  very  bottom  of  your 
lungs  to  change  all  their  contents.  A  glass 
of  warm  milk  (if  you  aren't  worried  about 
your  weight),  or  hot  water  with  a  little 
lemon  or  salt  to  kill  its  enervating  taste 
(if  you  are),  will  also  help  you  sleep. 
Blink  your  eyes  at  the  patch  of  gray  that 
is  your  window,  and  roll  them  sideways, 
up,  down,  until  their  tenseness  is  relieved, 
and  they  feel  as  relaxed  as  your  body.  In- 
cidentally, we  know  of  a  flabby  chin  sup- 
port that  is  chic  as  a  turban.  You  tie 
it  on  and  wear  it  while  you  sleep. 

Next  morning,  for  we're  not  going  to 
let  you  go  to  sleep  on  us  yet,  turn  on 
the  radio,  and  make  a  game  out  of  doing 
a  few  exercises  to  music.  Exercise  when 
you're  tired  to  wash  away  fatigue  poisons. 
Take  twenty  more  deep  breaths,  and  you'll 
feel  in  tune  with  the  world.  You'll 
face  the  day  with  rosier  cheeks  and 
brighter  eyes,  and  a  happier  outlook  on 
things  in  general,  and  Christmas  shop- 
ping in  particular.  And  do  write  me  if 
you  need  help  with  the  latter! 


To  You — 

from    CAROLYN  BELMONT 

a  sincere  wish  for  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy  New  Year!  If  you 
have  any  beauty  or  gift  problems  that  are  troubling  you,  write  me,  and 
enclose  a  self-addressed,  stamped  envelope.   I'll  be  glad  to  help  you.

Cupkx  some  girls  seem  to  get.  If  you 
t'i  it  coming  on  the  next  time  you're 
S'  ying  to  the  music  of  your  favorite 
n.'Stro,  for  heaven's  sake  squelch  the  im- 
p*e.   You'll  certainly  be  glad  afterwards. 

Iowever,  and  Ozzie  wants  you  to  know 
tl ,  nothing  gives  him  any  more  genuine 
pisure  than  your  expressed  appreciation 
ohis  and  the  band's  effort  to  please  you. 
I  s  more  than  grateful  when  you  go  up 
a  tell  him  how  you've  enjoyed  his  music. 
I  wants  you  to  feel  free  to  do  that  at 
a'  time  and  he'll  love  you  for  it.  For 
t  business  of  piloting  an  orchestra  these 
cVs  carries  plenty  of  heartache  and  hard 
vrk  with  it  and  a  pat  on  the  back  from 
jii  is  a  soul  balm  that  all  the  maestros 
rd  now  and  then.  But  even  if  you've 
jays  wanted  to  embrace  a  Greek  god, 
t  to  keep  to  a  mere  pat  if  you  can. 
\ien  you  feel  the  urge  for  a  public  hug- 
jig  act — well,  put  yourself  in  the  fellow's 
te  tens  before  you  go  ahead  with  it. 
«ve  a  guy  a  chance. 

If  I  were  a  girl  I  wouldn't  put  on  airs. 
ick  around  show  business  as  long  as 
zie  Nelson  has  and  you'll  develop  a  keen 
lse  for  poses  all  right.  You'll  learn  to 
ye  an  affected  English  accent  about  as 
ich  as  a  good  case  of  poison  ivy.  As 
bn  as  Tillie  of  the  Chorus  gets  one  speak- 
l  line  in  the  show  she  starts  putting  on 
:  big-time  act  and  promptly  giving  severe 
ck  pains  to  just  about  everybody  who 
ows  her.  And  the  putting  on  of  airs 
l't  by  any  means  confined  to  Tillies  of 
e  Chorus,  either.  According  to  the  Nel- 
nian  theory,  she's  a  rare  girl  who  is 
solutely  her  natural,  sweet  self.  And 
cidentally  she's  a  smart  girl. 

r  you  don't  believe  it's  smart  to  be  just 
you,  take  the  case  of  Harriett  Hilliard. 
hom  you  hear  so  effectively  giving  the 
elson's  orchestra's  vocal  choruses  what 
ey  ought  to  have.  Harriett  was  prac- 
:ally  a  nobody,  playing  a  very  small  role 
a  Paul  Whiteman  short.  But  she  was 
ling  the  best  she  could  and  doing  it  with- 
it  benefit  of  affectation.  Ozzie  happened  to 
"op  in  on  a  movie  one  day,  spot  her,  and 
j  to  exhaustive  means  to  find  out  her 
entity.  A  month  later  she  was  in  the 
iper  strata  of  the  blues  singers. 
"I  never  saw  such  pure  naturalness,"  he 
>mmented  enthusiastically. 
And  that,  one  gathers,  is  what  the  aver- 
se man  wants  in  the  girl  he's  going  to 
ill  for.  Just  yon,  without  the  sophisti- 
ated  attitude,  the  clever  little  fibs,  the 
935  slouch  and  your  pet  false  eyelashes. 
Harriett  Hilliard  was  natural.  Look- 
here  it  got  her. 

//  /  vjere  a  girl  I  zvouldn't  be  tnis- 
ndcrstanding.  One  summer  night  back 
i  Ridgefield  Park,  New  Jersey,  Oswald 
ieorge  Nelson,  fifteen,  started  out  on  his 
rst  date  for  a  school  dance.  Pretty 
roudly,  but  a  little  uncomfortably,  he  ap- 
'roached  her  house  in  his  first  long  pants 
-white  duck,  two-twenty-five  a  pair,  with 
i  crease  still  warm  from  the  family  iron. 


Gee,  but  she  was  beautiful  in  her  party 
dress !  At  ieast  he  thought  so  until  they 
began  dancing  aircl  the  pants  didn't  work 
right  or  something.  They  nabbed  his 
knees  just  once  too  often. 

When  he  scrambled  to  his  feet  again 
she  was  giggling.  "Oh  Oswald,  you  blush 
behind  your  ears  too !"  The  kids  thought 
that  was  awful  funny.  Especially  she.  He 
was  crimson  with  humiliation  and  hurt. 
He's  never  forgotten  it.  "She  never  looked 
pretty  to  me  any  more." 

And  to  this  day,  Ozzie  Nelson  ranks  an 
understanding  of  little  things  as  being  a 
darned  important  part  of  a  girl's  attrac- 
tiveness. "Because."  as  he  explained,  "1 
think  that  all  men  go  through  life  sort  of 
spiritually  wearing  their  first  long  pants. 
If  a  fellow  has  any  little  peculiarities  of 
manner  or  personality,  or  finds  himself  in 
any  embarrassing  predicaments,  nine  times 
out  of  ten  it's  because  he  can't  avoid  them. 
He  wants  a  girl  to  understand  and  be 
sympathetic." 

//  /  were  a  girl  I  zvouldn't  do  any 
chasing.  Ozzie's  strong  on  that  point. 
He's  not  braying  on  account  of  being  pur- 
sued so  much  himself,  for  that's  nothing  to 
be  really  proud  of.  All  orchestra  leaders 
fall  heir  to  it  without  effort.  But  sim- 
ply from  observation  and  personal  knowl- 
edge, Ozzie  thinks  a  girl's  loads  better  off 
when  she  lets  the  male  pursue  his  own 
prey.  There  is  a  thing,  you  know,  called 
the  hunt.  And  ninety  per  cent  of  the  fun 
of  the  hunt,  men  say,  lies  in  the  chase. 
When  the  circumstances  are  reversed,  the 
Nelsonian  idea  asserts  that  the  masculine 
party  always  feels  a  little  humiliated  and 
cheated.  And  if  you  stop  to  think  about 
it  all  you'll  agree.  She's  a  clever  girl  who 
lets  him  do  the  worrying  and  put  up  with 
most  of  the  bother. 
Ozzie  Nelson's  ideas. 
There  you  have  them — straight  from  the 
shoulder — and  truly,  a  bit  reluctantly  given. 
For  Ozzie,  rare  individual  that  he  is,  has  a 
perfect  abhorrence  of  tooting  his  own  horn. 
He  doesn't  want  you  to  think  him  a  too 
candid  know-it-all.  He's  not.  He  really 
thinks  what  you'd  want  him  to — that  you're 
perfectly  lovely  girls  and  on  the  whole 
topnotch. 

But  you  asked  him  for  his  insight  and 
observations  and  got  them.  And  if  criti- 
cism's hard  to  take,  you  can  either  profit 
by  it  or  tell  him  right  back  anything  you 
think  about  him!  Ozzie'll  listen,  all  in 
the  spirit  of  just  what  this  is — a  Truth 
Meeting.    No  hard  feelings. 

So  the  next  time  you  desire,  made- 
moiselle, to  be  kissed  in  a  taxi ;  strut  some 
Dietrich  pants ;  dance  the  semi-split  step 
of  the  Carioca  or  go  after  the  sentimental 
scalp  of  the  Yale  man  who's  just  moved  in 
across  the  street,  ponder  over  it  for  a 
little  while  first.  Remember  what  that 
Nelson  man  said. 

Then,  true  to  the  femininity  that  is 
yours,  go  right  ahead  and  do  exactly  what 
you  please ! 

Girls  will,  anyway.

"Douglas  had  such  a 
bad  cough,"  writes 
Mrs.  M.  McKenoctt,

advised  'Pertussin.' 
His  cough  didn't 
last  two  days!" 


Extract  of  famous  medicinal  herb

WHEN  you  cough,  it's  usually  because 
your  throat's  moisture  glands  have 
clogged.  Their  healthy  secretions  change. 
Your  throat  dries,  sticky  mucus  collects.  A 
tickling  .  .  .  then  a  cough!  PERTUSSIN 
stimulates  your  throat's  moisture  quickly. 
Phlegm  loosens— is  "raised."  Re- 
lief! Pertussin  is  safe  even  for 
babies.  Tastes  good.

The  Saga  of  N  B  C 


{Continued  from  page  35) 


$2,000,000.  As  yet  it  is  not  possible  to 
send  the  broadcasts  from  station  to  station 
by  wireless.  But  the  income  from  adver- 
tising is  up,  almost  to  $9,000,000. 

In  comes  cyclonic  1929,  year  of  stunts 
and  technical  advance  for  NBC.  Ayles- 
worth,  looking  yearningly  across  the  sea, 
cranks  up  the  engineering  department.  In 
February,  they  are  ready.  Stand  by.  There 
is  a  silence.  Nobody  believes  it  is  pos- 
sible. They  wait  pessimistically.  Then 
clearly  comes  a  British  voice  from  Queen's 
Hall,  London,  a  symphony  orchestra.  Inter- 

>  national  broadcasting  has  been  brought  to 

I  the  American  people  by  NBC. 

The  following  month  Hoover  mounts  the 
White  House  steps.  Bill  Lynch,  aloft  in 
an  airplane,  armed  with  a  portable  trans- 
mitter, flies  over  the  line  of  march,  report- 

j  ing  the  inauguration.  Thirty  million  lis- 
teners heard  him  talk  to  Graham  McNamee 
stationed  on  Pennsylvania  Avenue,  Milton 

I  Cross  on  the  steps  of  the  Capitol,  John 
Daniel  on  the  White  House  steps.  It's 
old  technique  now  but  it  was  shiny  new 

i  in  1929.  Then  came  the  inauguration  with 
three  presidents  at  the  mike :  Hoover,  Taft 

!  and  Coolidge. 

THAT  year  Floyd  Gibbons,  transmitter 
,  strapped  to  his  body,  crawls  around  on 
the  Graf  Zeppelin,  telling  NBC  listeners 
what  he  sees.  Buddy  Bushmeyer,  mike  in 
his  teeth,  jumps  from  an  airplane  and  as 
his  parachute  opens  up  recounts  his  impres- 
sions. The  Schneider  Cup  races  in  England 
come  through  perfectly  and  Christmas 
•  brings  carols  and  greetings  from  Germany, 
England  and  Holland. 

With  the  year  1930  came  no  let-up,  but 
it  was  plain  that  Radio  had  entered  a  new 
I  era.  The  rough  pioneering  was  over.  Three 
years  of  almost  superhuman  effort  had 
laid  a  solid  foundation  from  which  broad- 
casting could  grow.  In  these  years  the 
prestige  of  broadcasting  was  established. 
In  1930  even  the  Pope  capitulated,  breaking 
the  Vatican's  century  old  silence  to  ad- 
dress America  over  the  NBC  networks. 
But  he  was  the  last.    The  mike  had  cap- 


tured all  others  of  any  distinction — captains 
and  kings  and  convicts. 

The  exploration  of  life  and  the  world 
was  still  going  strong,  but  employing  a  tech- 
nique and  proceeding  on  a  momentum  im- 
parted by  the  NBC  President.  Portable 
mikes  had  gone  down  in  submarines,  in 
diving  bells;  they  had  caught  the  shot  fired 
at  Roosevelt,  the  tales  yammered  from  the 
lips  of  Morro  Castle  survivors.  Symphony 
orchestras  and  grand  opera  were  routine. 

Technically,  broadcasting  had  advanced 
beyond  all  dreams.  The  great  system  of 
stations,  coming  in  and  out  of  the  trunk- 
line  broadcast,  operated  with  the  split  sec- 
ond precision  of  a  railroad.  Delays  were 
no  more.  The  mike  grew  daily  more  sensi- 
tive. The  objective  of  engineers  was  to 
make  the  system,  from  the  technical  point 
of  view,  as  fool-proof  as  possible.  And 
they  have  succeeded. 

Financially,  it  was  becoming  self-suffi- 
cient. In  the  last  few  years,  it  has  paid  all 
of  its  enormous  expenses — which,  brother, 
is  saying  a  great  deal ! 

For  Aylesworth,  gazing  in  his  mind's 
eye  out  over  the  web  of  eighty-seven  sta- 
tions spun  out  of  his  own  vision  and  great 
energy,  broadcasting  is  at  the  beginning  of 
its  power.  These  eight  years  have  seen 
the  construction  of  the  machine.  The 
machine  for  bringing  song,  story  and  wis- 
dom to  millions.  Henceforth,  the  machine 
will  go  forward — in  the  direction  of  per- 
fection and  high  quality,  possibly  to  give 
greater  emphasis  to  education. 

Television  is  but  one  of  many  fantastic 
possibilities  the  future  holds  for  NBC  but 
whatever  it  is,  Aylesworth  will  be  there 
with  his  Merlin  touch  to  give  it  all  the 
quality  of  a  thoroughbred  performance. 

Bruce  Barton  wrote  that  ministers'  sons 
do  one  of  the  three  things :  one  third  of 
them  end  in  obscurity ;  another  third,  get 
along  fairly  well;  and  the  final  third  rule 
the  world.  This  minister's  son  is  appar- 
ently of  the  last  third.  The  people  who 
work  for  him  describe  him  as  "just  like 
radio."  As  quick,  as  precise,  as  powerful 
— as  overwhelming !

parent  than  a  married  one  who  has  it 
thrust  upon  him. 

When  he  paused  for  breath,  the  Jeering 
One  observed  cautiously :  "You  seem  to 
have  given  the  matter  considerable 
thought." 

"I  have,"  replied  Maestro  Previn  quietly. 
Then  he  told  how  for  several  years  he 
has  been  on  the  lookout  for  a  youngster 
whom  he  may  endow  with  his  name  and 
bring  up  as  his  son. 

^yHY.  one  wonders,  should  a  well-to-do 
bachelor  with  a  taste  for  rare  wine, 
orchidaceous  women  and  world  travel,  con- 
sider complicating  his  easy  and  eventful 
life  with  a  Little  Stranger?    Wrhat  mo- 


tives would  impel  a  talented  musician, 
whose  work  is  admittedly  his  hobby,  to 
disrupt  the  harmony  of  his  present  exist- 
ence with  childhood  cries  and  nursery 
noises  ? 

Those  questions,  when  put  to  him  across 
the  luncheon  table,  the  impresario  of  the 
Silken  Strings  hour  answered  simply,  di- 
rectly. "I've  always  been  crazy  about 
children,"  he  said,  "Besides,  a  son  would 
be  a  great  pal." 

Maestro  Previn  believes  that  when  he 
finds  the  youngster  whom  he  thinks  Fate 
is  reserving  for  him,  whether  that  young- 
ster is  wrapped  in  rags  and  as  bald  and 
blind  as  the  eagle  atop  our  national

New  York  or  Bust! 


(Continued  from  foye  J9) 


Dver  their  bankroll  and  discovered  that 
jnly  nine  dollars  were  left,  with  still  no 
-\gn  of  an  audition,  much  less  a  job.  But 
do  you  think  they  bounced  back  home? 
\'ot  on  your  life.  Careers  aren't  made  that 
way. 

They  moved  out  of  their  hotel  into  a 
shabby,  dark  basement  room  for  three 
dollars  a  week.  Those  other  six  precious 
dollars  would  have  to  tide  them  over  a 
long  time.  Loretta  worked  over  their 
>kimpy  budget.  She  bought  a  large  pack- 
age of  pancake  flour  for  eighty-five  cents 
and  a  fifteen  cent  bottle  of  syrup.  That 
was  their  entire  diet,  day  in  and  day  out 
for  weeks.  Pancakes  for  breakfast,  pan- 
cakes for  lunch  and  pancakes  for  dinner ! 
i  Once  the  landlady  gave  them  some  ham- 
Imrg,  but  they  didn't  even  have  a  pan  in 
which  to  fry  it.  Hunger,  however,  made 
them  resourceful.  Loretta  flattened  the 
meat  into  a  long  thin  strip,  covered  it  with 
the  cellophane  wrapper  and  then  went  over 
it,  back  and  forth,  with  a  hot  iron !  It  was 
kind  of  raw  but  it  tasted  swell  to  them. 
Vou  may  laugh  at  this  story,  but  it  isn't  so 
funny  on  an  empty  stomach. 
!  Things  were  reaching  the  breaking 
point.  Their  mother,  they  learned,  had 
been  placed  in  the  City  Hospital.  Desper- 
ate, they  stormed  one  radio  station  after 
[mother.  They  had  exhausted  all  of  the 
hooking  agents  on  their  list — that  is,  all 
but  one.  Walking  into  his  office  they  recog- 
nized a  familiar  face  behind  the  desk. 
Loretta  clutched  Jack's  arm.  Sure  enough 
it  was  an  old  friend  of  their  WBEN  days 
!—Nat  Wolff. 

XA/OLFF  took  one  look  at  their  thin, 
emaciated  faces,  at  their  dusty, 
cracked  shoes,  at  Jack's  shiny  suit  and 
Loretta's  torn  stockings.  "Migod  kids,"  he 
<aid  peeling  out  a  five  dollar  bill,  "you 
look  starved.  Get  something  to  eat  and 
then  come  back  and  we  can  talk." 

Wolff  had  always  been  enthusiastic  about 
their  work.  He  arranged  an  audition  for 
them  at  NBC.  The  day  they  had  worked, 
planned  and  starved  for  dawned.  But 
hard  luck  was  still  dogging  their  heels — 
Loretta  awoke  with  a  sore  throat !  She 
was  barely  able  to  talk. 

Frantically  she  sought  out  the  nurse  in 
the  NBC  infirmary.  "Please  fix  my  throat 
up,"  she  implored.  "It's  terribly  impor- 
tant." 

The  nurse  looked  doubtful.  "If  you 
sing  now,  you  may  lose  your  voice  for 
cjood."  she  warned. 

Loretta  started  to  weep.  "Do  anything, 
because  if  I  can't  sing  now  I'll  never  need 
to  sing  again." 

Jack  had  to  assist  her  to  the  piano.  Her 
head  was  pounding,  her  eyes  felt  heavy 
and  she  could  barely  open  her  mouth.  But 
>he  had  her  voice.  They  both  worked 
hysterically  to  cover  up  her  hoarseness. 

At  the  end  of  the  audition,  they  fled 
from  the  room,  discouraged  and  miserable. 
They  didn't  even  ask  the  director  how  they 
had  done  for  they  felt  in  their  bones  that 
they  had  failed.  A  fluke  had  ruined  their 
one  and  only  chance  to  get  on  the  air. 


The  next  morning  Jack  walked  over  to 
the  studio  to  get  his  guitar,  his  face  long 
and  morose.  "Say,"  the  director  hailed, 
"I've  been  trying  to  get  in  touch  with  you 
ever  since  yesterday.  You  came  through 
fine  and  we  want  you  for  the  finals." 

Jack  couldn't  believe  his  ears.  He  flew 
home  to  tell  Loretta.  Maybe  their  luck  was 
changing. 

VA/ELL,  it  did  change  for  a  while.  They 
passed  the  finals  and  were  placed  on 
an  afternoon  sustaining  period  of  their 
own.  They  weren't  making  much  money, 
but  at  least  they  were  eating  regularly 
and  there  was  again  money  to  send  home. 

Now  another  opportunity  came  their 
way.  The  NBC  booking  offices  suggested 
vaudeville  for  them.  What  a  break!  If 
they  clicked  on  the  stage,  their  future  in 
radio  and  personal  appearances  was  as- 
sured. 

The  day  of  their  vaudeville  opening  a 
telegram  arrived.  Loretta  ripped  it  open 
with  trembling  fingers.  Somehow  she 
had  a  vague  apprehension  that  the  tele- 
gram contained  terrible  news.  She  was 
right.  Their  mother  had  died.  Forgotten 
was  their  big  vaudeville  act.  Their  hap- 
piness turned  to  ashes. 

"You  must  go  on,"  the  booking  agent 
insisted.  "It's  too  late  to  change  the  pro- 
gram. You  must  be  troupers."  Well,  they 
were  troupers  all  right.  Loretta  powdered 
her  red  nose,  Jack  wiped  away  his  tears 
and  they  both  ran  out  on  the  stage.  They 
were  bearing  up  well  until  they  came  to  a 
certain  line  in  one  of  the  songs :  "How's 
your  Ma?    She  went  with  pa." 

At  that,  Loretta  started  to  sob  and  Jack's 
face  twitched.  The  audience  looked  puz- 
zled. That  was  an  odd  way  for  a  light 
comedy  team  to  act.  The  drizzle  of  ap- 
plause at  the  end  of  their  act  labeled  them 
flops. 

So  back  went  Loretta  and  Jack  to  their 
sustaining  programs,  but  they  knew  that 
if  they  didn't  soon  land  an  important  com- 
mercial the  studio  would  get  tired  of  sup- 
porting them.  Their  big  chance !  They 
needed  it  now.  Would  it  ever  come?  And 
would  they  be  prepared  for  it? 

It  took  them  unawares.  The  Ivory  Soap 
people  were  casting  the  dragnet  for  two 
kids  to  play  the  part  of  collegiate  Bobby 
Gibson  and  Dot  Myers,  his  wise-cracking, 
flapper  girlfriend,  in  "The  Gibson  Fam- 
ily." Jack  and  Loretta  auditioned.  Flocks 
of  well-known  stars  were  trying  for  the 
same  role. 

The  sponsors  heard  Loretta's  flippant 
young  voice,  they  heard  Jack's  fresh,  boy- 
ish answers.  Here  were  Bobby  and  Dot 
in  the  flesh.    No  need  to  look  any  further. 

Jack  and  Loretta  still  can't  believe  they 
are  finally  radio  stars.  When  I  saw  them 
a  day  before  the  opening  of  "The  Gibson 
Family"  they  were  delirious  with  joy, 
but  a  little  bit  scared,  of  course.  At  the 
end  of  the  show,  listening  to  the  praises  of 
everyone  around,  their  fears  were  dispelled. 
Their  broadcast  was  perfect. 

The  curtain  has  been  rung  down  on 
their  pancake  days  for  good.

It9s  Easy  to  Reduce 

The  Hemp  Bodl-Massagrr  removes  fat  where  fat  should 
come  off.  It  takes  off  bulges  quickly  and  easily  from  waist 
— hips — arms — legs  or  thighs  and  makes  double  chins 
disappear  like  magic.  It  Arms  up  flabby  flesh,  strengthens 
and  Rexes  muscles  and  brings  grace  of  carriage  and  a  soft 
and  lovely  skin. 

Invented  by  a  professional  masseur  it  weighs  less  than 
a  pound  and  uses  no  electiictly.  When  pushed  over  the 
body,  the  soft  rubber  spherlcals  pick  up  and  knead  the 
muscles  and  tissues  with  the  firm  gentle  action  of  a  skill- 
ful hand  massage.  This  Is  not  only  an  effective  aid  in 
acquiring  a  lovely  figure,  but  does  wonders  for  a  tired 
body  and  frazzled  nerves. 

Write  today  for  details  of  this  safe  and  sure  way  to  new 
body  beauty.  There  Is  no  cost  or  obligation.

RADIO  STARS 


Distressing  cold  in  chest  or  throat,  that  so 
often  leads  to  something  serious,  generally 
eases  up  quickly  when  soothing,  warming 
Musterole  is  applied. 

Better  than  a  mustard  plaster,  Musterole 
gets  action  because  it's  NOT  just  a  salve. 
It's  a  "counter-irritant" — stimulating, 
penetrating,  and  helpful  in  drawing  out  pain 
and  congestion. 

Used  by  millions  for  25  years.  Recom- 
mended by  many  doctors  and  nurses.  All 
druggists.  In  three  strengths:  Regular 
Strength,  Children's  (mild),  and  Extra 
Strong,  40^  each.

Should  Bachelors  Have  Babies? 


(Continued  from  pivjc  91) 


standard,  he'll  know  it.  And  the  child'll 
know.  And  there  won't  be  anything  more 
to  it.  Nothing,  that  is,  but  the  thousand 
and  one  complications  which  he  under- 
stands arise  when  a  bachelor  sets  out  to 
adopt  a  child. 

Even  when  that  fateful  moment  arrives, 
it  is  doubtful,  however,  whether  ether- 
land's  most  sportive  symphonist  will  act 
spontaneously.  There  are  still  moments, 
he  acknowledged  with  a  deprecating  shrug 
of  his  sleek  tailored  shoulders,  when  he  is 
uncertain  whether  an  unmarried  man  may 
rightfully  aspire  for  fatherhood. 

"When  I  think  back  over  my  own  boy- 
hood," he  said  reminiscently,  "and  remem- 
ber how  it  centered  about  my  mother,  I 
begin  to  wonder.  Have  I  the  right  to 
deprive  a  child  of  his  chance  for  a  normal 
home  ?  Will  the  material  things  I  can  give 
him  compensate  for  the  absence  of  a 
mother?    What  do  you  think?'' 

I  nodded  my  okay,  thinking  how  easily 
he  could  remedy  such  a  domestic  abnormal- 
ity. After  all,  eligible  women  willing  to 
mother  a  man's  children  are  not  scarce. 
And  I  couldn't  imagine  a  romantic  riot  like 
Charley  Previn  running  up  against  a 
"No"  woman,  should  he  ever  seek  a 
maternal  parent  for  his  foster  son. 

Mediumly  tall,  with  broad  shoulders, 
dream-swept  brown  eyes,  sun-swarthy  skin 
and  dark,  wavy  hair,  his  looks  would  melt 
any  woman.  And  the  majority  of  them 
would  find  him  no  less  irresistable  to  listen 
to.  His  interests  encircle  the  globe  like 
a  Dollar  Liner,  and  include  everything 
from  the  latest  Maori  colonization  scheme 
in  New  Zealand  and  the  Tennessee  Valley 
plan,  to  college  football,  golf,  radio  and 
real  estate.  He  loves  good  books  next 
to  good  music.  And  when  he  is  discussing 
the  latter  he  is  as  apt  to  be  talking  about 
his  friend,  George  Gershwin's  "Manhattan 
Serenade"  as  Wagner's  "Symphony  in  C." 

CTILL  he's  never  been  married.  He's 
**  never  been  engaged.  To  quote  him 
verbatim,  he's  "never  even  proposed  to 
a  girl." 

"I'm  not  saying  I've  never  been  in  love." 
A  quick  shining  smile  sprang  out  of  his 
eyes  like  a  silver  flash.  But  I've  never 
been  able  to  figure  a  woman  out  long 
enough  to  ask  her  to  marry  me." 

Like  so  many  other  modern  young  men 
who  have  worked  out  their  own  design 
for  living,  he  turned  down  a  fat  offer  to 
teach  prep  school  boys  how  to  scan  French 
poetry  and  translate  German  prose,  and 
embarked  upon  a  job-hunting  expedition 
along  Tin  Pan  Alley.  It  wasn't  long  until 
he  landed  a  position,  playing  the  piano  in 
a  music-factory,  for  which  Earl  Carroll  was 
song-plugging.  From  pounding  out  the 
latest  jazz  he  gradually  advanced  to  the 
more  dignified  position  of  song  salesman. 


Then  one  bright  autumn  morning  the 
producer  of  a  musical  show,  playing  the 
southern  "sticks,"  burst  into  the  music 
publishing  house  employing  him.  and  de- 
manded an  orchestra  leader.  With  a  sly 
wink,  the  manager  recommended  Charley. 

"Have  you  ever  had  any  experience?" 
the  producer  demanded. 

THE  college-bred  Paderewski  said  he  had. 

But  he  forgot  to  add  that  the  orchestra 
he  had  conducted  was  composed  of  Cornell 
students  who  volunteered  their  services 
for  the  University's  annual  men's  musical 
show.    Even  so  he  got  the  job. 

In  the  same  way  he  won  his  first  chance 
at  stage  directing.  The  manager  of  a 
light  opera  company  whose  orchestra  he 
was  conducting  went  a.w.o.l.  and  the  owner 
of  the  production  turned,  distraught,  to 
Charley.  "Previn,"  he  groaned,  "have  you 
ever  put  on  a  musical  show?" 

Again  the  A.B.  from  Cornell  answered 
"Yes."  without  bothering  to  explain  that 
the  musical  show  in  question  was  one  whose 
lyrics  he  had  composed  and  which  had  been 
written  and  acted  by  his  classmates  at 
college.  And  for  the  second  time,  he  won 
and  held  the  job. 

But  Maestro  Previn  was  not  satisfied 
to  go  on  wielding  his  baton  in  the  back 
blocks.  He  wanted  to  be  something  more 
than  a  hinterland  virtuoso.  So  he  found 
himself  a  playhouse  on  Broadway  and  a 
play,  and  before  he  knew  it,  he  was 
standing  in  the  wings,  watching  his  first 
operetta  go  into  production.  At  last  he 
was  nearing  his  goal. 

A  five-year  engagement  with  St.  Louis' 
world  famous  summer  opera  company  was 
the  turning  point.  From  the  Missouri 
metropolis,  he  went  to  New  York's  Roxy 
Theatre.  And,  as  anyone  familiar  with 
the  airlines  will  tell  you,  from  there  it  is 
only  a  step  to  Radio  City. 

He  made  his  mike  debut  over  NBC  as 
master  of  the  Camel  Cigarette  hour.  Dur- 
ing those  sixty  minute  intervals,  he  not 
only  produced  radioland's  first  revue,  but 
widened  the  acquaintance  of  the  dial- 
twisting  public  by  introducing  it  to  such 
stage  and  screen  stars  as  Mary  Garden 
and  Maurice  Chevalier.  Later  he  sup- 
plied the  musical  background  for  Count 
Von  Luckner's  breath-taking  sagas  of  the 
sea,  and  became  one  of  NBC's  most  popu- 
lar sustaining  artists.  Last  winter  he 
organized  his  Silken  Strings  Ensemble. 

Now  that  he  has  realized  his  boy- 
hood ambition,  persons  knowing  him  as 
one  of  those  men  who.  once  he  charts  a 
course,  never  wavers,  are  wondering  aloud  : 
"How  long  will  it  be  until  Charley  Pre- 
vin's  manhood  dream  comes  true,  and  he 
becomes  one,  if  not  radio's  first,  bachelor 
father?"

Relief  for  Millions 

PHYSICIANS  have 
warned  against  treat- 
ing acid  indigestion 
with  harsh,  raw  alkalies — the  tumbler  and 
spoon  method.  Strong,  water-soluble  alkalies, 
taken  in  excess,  may  turn  the  stomach  juices 
into  an  unnatural  alkaline  condition — actually 
arresting  digestion ! 

TUMS  free  you  from  this  danger.  They  act 
as  an  acid  "buffer."  The  scientific  explanation 
of  TUMS  is  that  it  acts  gently — just  enough  of 
the  antacid  compound  is  released  to  counteract 
oper-acidity.  When  your  heartburn  or  sour 
stomach  is  corrected — the  balance  passes  on 
inert  and  undissolved,  without  affecting  the 
blood  or  kidneys. 

Try  TUMS.  Munch  3  or  4  when  distressed. 
Millions  have  turned  to  this  gentle,  effective 
treatment — it's  quite  likely  you  will,  too.  10c

RADIO  STARS 


Behind  the  Scenes  with  Radio's 
Program  Builders 

(Continued  from  focic  55) 


?ople  to  Hollywood  to  help  him.  By 
lane  went  Harry  Salter  who  was  to  di- 
■ct  the  orchestra;  William  R.  Baker,  Jr., 
ho  was  to  produce  the  program ;  Caroline 
trouse,  the  girl  selected  to  write  the 
;ripts;  and  Ken  Sisson,  musical  arranger. 
Within  a  week  these  people  had  hired 
nd  organized  an  orchestra,  had  employed 
ctors  and  actresses,  rehearsed  the  pro- 
ram  and — when  the  sponsors  tuned  in  for 
le  first  time  on  October  3,  they  pronounced 
:  good.  When  the  mail  began  to  arrive, 
hey  knew  they  knew  it. 

The  idea  of  presenting  little  known 
nests  had  been  first  discussed  just  two 
,-eeks  before.  Lanny  remembered  his 
truggle  to  fame  and  wanted  to  do  his  part 
oward  giving  deserving  artists  a  radio 
■reak.  His  sponsor  liked  the  idea.  The 
dvertising  agency  of  Benton  &  Bowles, 
vhich  handles  the  program,  saw  in  the 
dea  a  new  venture  in  broadcasting. 

Radio  Stars  Magazine  then  came  into 
he  picture.  You  see.  it's  quite  a  job  to 
"ind  and  listen  to  all  the  would-be  artists 
■ach  week  and  select  those  which  really 
lave  radio  possibilities.  And  that's  where 
Radio  Stars  comes  in.  Being  the  oldest 
ind  largest  radio  magazine,  it's  natural 
hat  Radio  Stars  would  be  in  a  tine  posi- 
tion to  aid  in  this  respect.  So  its  staff 
listens  to  artists,  eliminates  them  down  to 
the  few  very  best,  and  then  Lanny  and  his 
co-workers  hear  these  finalists  to  pick  the 


guest    to    be    invited    for    his  program. 

At  first,  that  presented  another  new 
problem.  Radio  Stars  Magazine  is  lo- 
cated in  Xew  York  City.  The  program 
originally  came  from  Hollywood.  But 
Radio  Stars  has  an  office  in  the  sunny 
state  and  a  few  telegrams  back  and  forth 
completed  arrangements.  When  the  Xew 
York  representatives  arrived  in  Holly- 
wood, the  Radio  Stars  correspondent  had 
a  number  of  artists  all  picked  and  ready. 
Another  hearing  and  Miss  Betty  Borden 
was  picked  to  be  the  first  guest.  Never 
had  she  spoken  or  sung  a  word  into  a  net- 
work microphone.  The  correspondent 
found  her  singing  at  a  Junior  League  Ball 
and  knew  she  would  fit  the  bill.  And 
already  critics  have  hailed  his  choice. 
Perhaps  by  the  time  you  read  this,  she 
will  be  on  her  own  network  program. 

When  Lanny  returned  to  New  York, 
the  details  were  arranged,  the  script  writ- 
ten, the  guest  picked,  and  again  the  pro- 
gram was  set — read}'  for  Lanny  to  take  it 
and  make  of  it  an  entertainment  worthy 
of  his  listeners.  And  again  his  sponsors' 
faith  was  proven.  And  now  you  Lanny 
Ross  fans  may  sit  back  in  ease,  knowing 
that  throughout  the  winter  his  voice  will 
come  to  you  every  Wednesday  on  this  pro- 
gram and  every  Thursday  on  Show  Boat, 
both  over  the  NBC  stations. 

Sometimes  it  pays  to  break  rules,  don't 
vou  think?

arthritis  (chalk  in  the  bones).  As  a  re- 
sult. Dick  got  over  a  hundred  letters  from 
readers  who  had  suffered  from  trie  same 
ailment. 

•  The  Mills  Brothers  hold  the  all  time 
record  for  drawing  money  into  the  Los 
Angeles  Paramount  Theatre,  according  to 
Bernie  Mulligan,  radio  editor  of  the  Los 
Angeles  Examiner.  They  grossed  $26,000 
in  one  week.  The  other  ten  toppers  are : 
Bing  Crosby,  $23,000;  Guy  Lombardo. 
S19.000 ;  Duke  Ellington,  $19,000;  Ben 
Bernie.  S17.600;  Abe  Lyman.  $17,000;  Al 
Pearce  and  His  Gang.  $17,000;  Anson 
Weeks,  $16,000;  Kate  Smith.  $14,500;  and 
Ted  Fio-Rito,  $13,000.  Joe  Penner,  playing 
only  three  days  on  a  weekend,  drew  $10,000 
worth  of  business. 

•  For  that  growing  throng  of  listeners 
who  insist  that  the  gags  on  the  air  are 
terrible,  here's  a  chance  to  help  correct  the 
condition.  Jack  Ekstromer,  comedian  at 
WDGY.  Minneapolis,  has  issued  an  appeal 
for  help.  He's  looking  tor  brand  new 
jokes.  If  you  have  some  suggestions, 
query  him  at  the  Minneapolis  station. 

•  How  long  do  you  suppose  it  takes  a  joke 
to  travel  around  the  world?  Fred  Allen 
says  six  years  and  here's  why.  That  many 
years  ago  Allen  asked,  "How  will  they 


fill  up  the  tunnel  dug  for  the  Eighth  Ave- 
nue Subway  in  New  York?"  And  then  he 
answered  by  saying.  "Use  zippers."  That 
was  an  original  joke  created  by  Fred. 
Last  month,  Fred  read  this  joke  in  an 
English  newspaper.  This  paper  had  taken 
it  from  a  Spanish  publication. 

•  How  many  guests  does  a  guest  pro- 
gram use?  The  Woman's  Radio  Review 
of  NBC,  conducted  by  Claudine  Mac- 
Donald,  has  used  five  hundred  in  the  past 
three  years. 

•  Did  you  know  that  Edgar  Guest,  the 
poet  of  "Household  Musical  Memories," 
is  an  ex-soda  jerker? 

•  John  (Speed)  Harrington,  who  has 
announced  all  of  Wayne  King's  sustaining 
programs  for  the  past  two  years,  is  the 
new  program  director  and  assistant  station 
manager,  at  KWK,  NBC  affiliate  in  St. 
Louis,  where  he  started  his  radio  work 
seven  years  ago. 

•  The  Eton  Boys  of  CBS  have  been  on 
the  air  for  five  years  and  in  that  time 
have  given  more  than  3.000  programs. 

•  The  Chicago  Board  of  Trade  is  on  the

RADIO  STARS 


west.  Donald  McGibney,  Chicago  NBC 
commentator,  is  doing  the  romancing  for 
the  pit. 

•  To  Frederic  W.  Wile,  CBS  political 
analyst  and  newspaper  correspondent, 
goes  an  honor  of  long  time  radio  service. 
He  has  been  on  the  air  now  for  twelve 
consecutive  years. 

•  Tony  Wons,  who  holds  forth  in  The 
House  by  the  Side  of  the  Road  on  NBC 
every  Sunday  afternoon,  has  taken  a  house 
by  the  side  of  the  lake  in  Evanston.  The 
move  to  the  north  shore  was  made  partly 
because  Tony's  Chicago  garage  was  four 
feet  too  short  for  his  new  sixteen  cylinder 
floating  Pullman. 

•  Here's  a  story  Muriel  Wilson  (Mary 
Lou)  told  when  she  came  back  after 
visiting  Lanny  Ross  in  Hollywood.  To 
appreciate  it,  you  should  know  that  Muriel 
is  a  slender,  sparkling  eyed  brunette.  Still 
garbed  in  her  Show  Boat  costume,  she  left 


the  walls — they're  awfully  bare.  Which 
reminds  me  that  Michael  Angelo  and  my 
brother  have  a  lot  in  common.  I  hear  it 
took  Michael  Angelo  twenty  years  to  paint 
the  walls  of  the  Sistine  Chapel  because  he 
was  lying  down  while  he  was  working.  My 
brother  always  lies  down  when  he  works 
too,  but  it  seems  a  pity  that  a  great  artist 
like  Michael  Angelo  had  to  lie  down.  If 
he  had  stood  up  I  bet  he'd  done  the  work 
in  half  the  time  and  it  would  have  been 
prettier  too ! 

Well,  anyway  I  saw  the  Yellow  Tiber, 
George  saw  pink  elephants  and  they  both 
went  very  well  with  my  little  blue  hat. 

|"MD  I  tell  you  about  Mussolini?  He's  a 
very  proud  father.  He's  always  put- 
ting his  hand  up  to  show  how  tall  his  little 
boy  is.  The  other  blackshirts  put  their 
hands  up  too  and  George  said  maybe 
they'd  put  up  more  telephone  poles  so  they'd 
have  something  to  lean  against,  which  I 
think  is  a  very  good  idea.  Of  course  if 
my  brother  had  been  along  they'd  have 
had  to  put  both  hands  up  practically  all 
the  time,  so  it's  a  good  thing  he  wasn't. 

We  went  to  Pisa,  but  I  didn't  care  for 
that  so  much  because  they  have  a  tower 
there  that's  so  odd,  it  bends.  So  we  de- 
cided to  go  to  Venice.  Everyone  told  me 
Venice  was  very  romantic,  but  I  couldn't 
see  anything  romantic  about  it,  because 
when  we  got  there  they  had  a  flood.  So 
we  went  out  in  a  boat  and  I  looked  around 
for  Noah,  but  I  couldn't  find  him  either. 
But  we  had  a  good  time  in  the  boat  which 
they  call  a  gondola.  You  see  George  sat 
in  front  with  the  gondolier  and  I  sat  in  the 
back  and  sang  and  pushed  the  boat  and  it 
was  the  first  time  I  really  enjoyed  myself 
in  Italy.  But  honestly  they're  awfully 
behind  the  times.  They  use  oars  when  they 
could  just  as  well  put  up  a  sail  and  the 
breeze  from  the  singing  and  the  garlic 
would  make  it  go  better — don't  you  think 
so? 

I  must  tell  you  about  the  spaghetti.  We 
had  kind  of  a  time  eating  it  at  first.  But 
I  finally  thought  up  the  grandest  idea.

the  studio  one  evening  and  took  a  cab  to  a 
theatre  where  she  was  appearing  in  the 
same  regalia.  The  gown  was  cut  some- 
what low.  Puffy  sleeve  effects  made  it 
rather  difficult  to  slip  into  a  wrap  so 
Muriel  just  didn't  bother.  The  whole 
effect  must  have  been  just  a  shade  more 
revealing  than  the  cab  driver  was  accus- 
tomed to,  for  as  her  escort  was  paying 
the  fare  he  inquired  in  a  low  voice, 
"Isn't  that  Mae  West?" 
•  Captain  Tim  Healy,  director  of  the 
Ivory  Stamp  Club  of  the  Air  heard  over 
NBC,  tells  us  that  it  was  once  a  scandal  in 
England  to  lick  a  postage  stamp.  The 
British  objected  to  the  stamps  of  1840 
because  "the  purchaser  had  to  lick  the 
back  of  the  stamp."  This  was  considered 
an  insult  to  Queen  Victoria  whose  head 
was  on  the  stamp.  "No  self-respecting 
queen  should  have  the  back  of  her  head 
licked,  especially  by  her  subjects !" 


Our  Trip  Abroad 


•  Rudy  Vallee  admitted  in  Chicago  re 
ccntly  that  he  is  a  radio  fan.  His  favorifo 
show  is  Fred  Allen's  Town  Hall  Tonight 
He  insists  Hal  Kemp  has  the  slickes 
dance  orchestra  in  America;  says  it's  th< 
only  orchestra  with  a  style  so  unique  thai 
it  can't  be  copied.  And  he  enjoys  Show 
Boat  and  Paul  Whiteman's  Music  Hall. 

•  CBS  now  has  two  theatres  fitted  uj 
for  broadcast  purposes.  The  old  Avoi 
Theatre,  now  renamed  "Columbia  Radi' 
Playhouse  No.  2,"  is  the  newest  addition 

•  Harriet  Cruise,  the  Nebraska  Skylark 
is  back  at  Columbia  in  Chicago  after  ai 
absence  of  a  year  singing  in  Denver. 

•  Jeannie  Lang  and  Mrs.  Joe  Penner,  th« 
former  Eleanor  Vogt,  who  are  both  St 
Louis  girls,  used  to  appear  together  witl 
fourteen  other  girls  on  the  stage. 

•  Rumors  that  Ozzie  Nelson  and  hi 
vocalist,  Harriet  Hilliard,  are  married  ar 
still  going  around.  But  said  pair  deny  them 


(Continued  from  pacjc  47) 

We  put  numbers  all  around  the  plate 
with  No.  1  in  the  middle.  We'd  wind  our 
forks  around  one  and  then  go  to  two  and 
so  on,  but  of  course  if  you  bet  on  six 
and  seven  won,  you'd  just  have  to  eat  the 
spaghetti.  Which  gave  me  an  idea  for 
my  little  nephoo  who's  always  getting  lost. 
When  we  send  him  out  in  the  morning 
we're  going  to  put  him  in  the  middle  of 
a  lot  of  spaghetti  and  then  if  he  gets  lost, 
he  can  eat  his  way  home. 

Well  to  go  back  to  our  trip,  I  expected 
to  see  the  bullfights  next  and  we  would 
have  seen  them  but  for  one  little  thing.  I 
said  to  George  "Let's  go  to  Spain"  and 
he  said  "No !"  so  I  got  off  his  lap  and 
we  went  to  Buda-Pest. 

Do  you  know  Buda-Pest  is  divided  into 
two  parts — Buda  and  Pest?  We  lived  in 
Pest  because  Buda  reminded  me  too  much 
of  my  missing  buda.  Of  course  Pest  did 
too,  but  we've  sort  of  got  used  to  his  being 
a  pest  so  it  wasn't  so  bad.  And  then  they 
had  the  nicest  romantic  waltzes  played  by 
the  Gypsies.  As  soon  as  I  saw  the  Gypsies 
1  ran  out  to  find  an  A.  &  P.  but  I  couldn't 
find  that  either  so  we  went  on  to  Warsaw. 

AND  who  do  you  suppose  we  found 
**  there?  George's  tailor.  I  thought  it 
was  nice  to  see  someone  from  home,  but 
the  tailor  owed  George  a  bill  so  George 
thought  he'd  hide  and  surprise  him.  But 
the  tailor  finally  found  George  so  we  paid 
the  hotel  bill  with  the  tailor  and  left  for 
Moscow. 

I  heard  a  lot  about  Moscow-vites  but  all 
I  could  find  were  mosquito-vites.  Russia 
is  a  nice  country,  but  do  you  know  I  think 
they've  got  a  lot  of  Communists  there ! 
Of  course  it  may  be  just  my  imagination. 

Everyone  told  me  "You'll  like  caviar" 
so  I  stayed  in  my  hotel-room  for  three 
days.  Finally  George  asked  me  why  I  was 
always  fooling  with  the  radio.  I  told  him 
I  was  trying  to  get  Caviar. 

"Grade,"  he  said,  "don't  be  silly !  Caviar 
isn't  on  the  radio,  caviar  is  an  egg." 

"You  shouldn't  talk  that  way  George," 
I  told  him.    "We  all  can't  be  good."

Well  after  I  calmed  him  down,  w< 
picked  up  the  tailor  and  went  to  Vienna 
All  along  I'd  been  hearing  how  Vienn; 
rolls  but  I  found  it  very  nice  and  quiet- 
it  didn't  roll  a  bit.  I  looked  for  ifo 
Merry  Widow  but  I  couldn't  find  her  either 
but  we  had  a  marvelous  time  dancing 
George  didn't  dance  but  the  tailor  did  am 
I   really  enjoyed  myself. 

But  George  needed  some  garters  so  w 
had  to  go  to  Paris.  The  restaurants  aren' 
making  any  money  there,  I  can  tell,  be 
cause  the  people  are  all  sitting  in  th 
street,  but  I'm  not  so  sure  they  wanted  t 
make  money  because  when  we  wanted  t 
go  into  a  restaurant  they  put  us  out  oi 
the  street  too.  But  everyone  is  ve~ 
clever  there.  Even  little  children  just  a 
big  as  my  nephoo  can  speak  French. 

Paris  is  known  for  its  wonderful  clothe 
so  we  bought  the  tailor  a  whole  outfit  am 
he  got  married.  We  made  a  very  merr 
foursome  because  the  tailor's  wife  didm 
dance  either  and  she  and  George  had 
wonderful  time.  We  all  went  to  the  Eyef 
Tower  but  I  was  the  only  sensible  one  o 
us  all.  While  the  others  went  to  the  to; 
and  looked  down,  I  stood  at  the  bottor 
and  looked  up.  I  told  them  that  was  th 
only  way  to  get  an  eyeful  but  th  . 
wouldn't  listen  to  me. 

The  four  of  us  wound  up  in  Lond 
It's  funny  but  in  London,  the  Leanin 
Tower  of  Pisa  is  known  as  the  Tower  o 
London  except  that  it  doesn't  look  lik 
the  Eyeful  Tower. 

London  is  known  for  its  clothes  to< 
and  the  tailor's  wife  got  some  nice  bit* 
stockings. 

We  were  out  shopping  one  day  whei 
we  suddenly  realized  we'd  be  late  for  th> 
boat  home,  so  we  asked  a  policeman  hov 
to  get  to  the  pier.  "Take  two  trams,"  h 
said.  I  asked  the  tailor's  wife  which  tra~ 
she  wanted  so  she  took  George  and  I  too 
the  tailor. 

We  really  had  a  lovely  time.  If  y

Another  Camel  enthusiast 
is  Mrs.  Allstoii  Boyer 


In  the  gay  young  group  that  dic- 
tates what's  "done"  in  New  York, 
Mrs.  Boyer  plays  a  charming  part. 
What  to  wear,  where  to  dance,  what 
to  see,  how  to  entertain,  what 
people  prefer  to  eat,  to  smoke — she 
knows  all  the  answers.  That  is  why 
you  find  Camels  in  her  house  and 
in  her  slim  cigarette  case. 

"There  seems  to  be  more  going 
on  this  winter  than  ever,"  she  says. 
"Lunches,  teas,  parties,  dances  — 
everyone  is  gay  and  almost  every- 


one is  smoking  Camels.  They  cer- 
tainly add  to  your  enjoyment  with 
their  mild,  rich  flavor  and  I  notice 
that  if  I'm  tired,  a  Camel  freshens 
me  up.  Lots  of  people  have  told 
me  the  same  thing.  I  can  smoke 
all  I  want,  too,  and  they  never 
upset  my  nerves." 

People  find  that  Camel's  finer 
and  MORE  EXPENSIVE  TO- 
BACCOS give  them  a  healthy  "lift" 
when  their  energy  is  low7.  Smoke 
one  yourself  and  see.

How  often  you  have  noticed  that  mos 
dry  rouge  seems  to  lose  the  intensity  of  it 
color  within  an  hour  or  so  of  its  applicatior 
That  is  because  the  usual  rouge  particles  are  s> 
coarse  or  uneven  in  texture,  that  they  simpl 
fall  away  from  your  skin.

will  instantly  tell  you,  is  a  great  deal  finer  i. 
texture  and  softer  than  ordinary  rouge.  It 
particles  being  so  infinitely  fine,  adhere  muc 
more  closely  to  the  skin  than  rouge  has  eve 
clung  before.  In  fact,  SAVAGE  Rouge,  fo 
this  reason,  clings  so  insistently,  it  seems  t 
become  a  part  of  the  skin  itself  .  .  .  refusin 
to  yield,  even  to  the  savage  caresses  it 
tempting  smoothness  and  pulse-quickenin 
color  might  easily  invite.  The  price  is  2C

in  thrilling  harmony,  match  perfecty  those  c

WHAT  a  heart-warming  thing  a 
lovely,  swift  little  smile  can  be! 
And  what  a  crusher  of  illusions  it  so 
often  is. 

It  is  true  that  a  great  many  men  and 
women  are,  unfortunately,  afraid  to 
smile.  Neglect  of  the  teeth,  neglect  of 
the  gums,  neglect  of  "pink  tooth  brush" 
have  led  to  their  own  unsightly  results. 

No  one  is  immune  from  "pink  tooth 
brush."  Any  dentist  will  tell  you  that 


our  soft,  modern  foods  and  our  habits 
of  hurried  eating  and  hasty  brushing  rob 
our  gums  of  needed  exercise.  Natu- 
rally, they  grow  sensitive  and  tender — 
and,  sooner  or  later,  that  telltale  "tinge 
of  pink"  appears. 

DON'T  NEGLECT  "PINK  TOOTH  BRUSH  " 

And,  neglected,  that  "tinge  of  pink"  is 
often  the  preliminary  to  gingivitis.Vin- 
cent's  disease  —  even  pyorrhea. 

Do  the  sensible  thing — follow  the 


advice  of  dental  science.  Get  a  tube  of 
Ipana  today.  Brush  your  teeth  regularly. 
But — care  for  your  gums  with  Ipana,  too. 
Each  time,  massage  a  little  extra  Ipana 
into  your  lazy,  tender  gums.  The  ziratol 
in  Ipana  with  massage  helps  speed  cir- 
culation, aids  in  toning  the  gums  and  in 
bringing  back  necessary  firmness. 

Your  teeth  will  be  whiter  with  Ipana. 
Your  gums  will  be  healthier.  And  your 
smile  u  ///be  themagicthingitshouldbe!

I  WAS  SLUGGISH 
AND  A  MARTYR 
TO  BILIOUSNESS 


•  My  skin  was  pasty  and  even  after  8 
hours  sleep  I'd  get  up  tired.  I  looked  every 
day  of  my  35  years  and  then  some.  For 
6  years  I'd  been  a  continuous  sufferer 
from  biliousness,  sour  stomach  caused  by 
constipation.  I  think  I  spent  hundreds  of 
dollars  on  medicines.  Then  the  wife  of  our 
druggist  told  me  about  FEEN-A-MINT. 
It  is  the  only  laxative  I  have  used  for 
2  years  and  it  has  worked  marvels.  My 
husband  says  I'm  like  a  different  per- 
son. FEEN-A-MINT  has  done  wonders 
for  my  little  girl,  too  — now  she  eats  like 
a  child  should  because  it  keeps  her  regu- 
lar as  a  clock. 

Pleasing  taste  makes  FEEN-A-MINT 
easy  to  take 

Another  experience  typical  of  the  hundreds  of 
people  who  write  us  gratefully  about  the  relief 
FEEN-A-MINT  has  given  them.  FEEN-A- 
MINT  is  not  only  positive  in  its  purpose  but  a 
pleasing  and  delicious  chewing  gum. That  is  why 
it's  so  easy  to  take— children  love  it.  And  because 
you  chew  it  the  laxative  works  more  evenly 
through  the  system  and  gives  more  thorough 
reiie/without  griping  or  binding.  Next  time  you 
need  a  laxative  get  FEEN-A-MINT.  15  and  250 
at  your  druggist's.  Used  by  over  15,000,000  people.

BEAUTY  SECRETS  OF  A  QUEEN!   WANT  TO  KNOW  THEM?   READ  ON- 


YOUXG  AND  BEAUTIFUL 
.  .  .  we  can't  think  of  a  more 
appropriate  title  with  which 
to  crown  Miss  Dorothy  Page, 
voted  Radio's  Queen  by  the  most 
distinguished  group  of  radio  editors 
in  the  world.  How  many  queens  in 
centuries  past  would  have  exchanged  their  crowns  for 
her  beauty ! 

With  glorious  Titian  hair  that  the  great  Titian  him- 
self might  well  have  reveled  in  painting,  Radio's  Queen 
has  posed  for  portraits  by  many  American  illustrators. 
Her  story  reads  like  a  glamorous  day-dream  that  many  a 
secretary  busily  pecking  away  at  her  typewriter  has  se- 
cretly harbored  in  her  heart.  When  Dorothy  had  a  sec- 
retarial job  at  the  Curtis  Publishing  Company  in 
Philadelphia,  the  Curtis  employees  staged  a  beauty  con- 
test not  long  after  Dorothy's  name  was  added  to  the 
pay-roll.  Her  friends  prevailed  upon  her  to  enter  at  the 
last  minute,  with  the  result  that  Dorothy  of  the  Titian 
hair,  and  the  velvet  brown  eyes,  and  the  gorgeous  figure 
walked  away  with  the  blue  ribbon. 

One  of  the  judges  in  the  contest  was  Neysa  McMein,

noted  American  illustrator  for  Curt 
publications.  A  couple  of  days  late 
she  sauntered  by  as  Dorothy  was  tyi 
ing  away  at  her  desk  in  the  Curt 
offices.  "Miss  Page,"  she  said,  "y 
are  verv  beautiful.  Will  you  po.' 
for  me?" 

To  make  a  short  story  shorter,  within  the  next  mont 
thousands  who  bought  the  Saturday  Evening  Post  we" 
admiring  Neysa  McMein's  portrait  of  Miss  Page  on  tl 
front  cover.  Soon  Dorothy  looked  at  America  not  on', 
from  magazine  covers  but  also  from  Red  Cross  an 
Tuberculosis  League  posters,  as  the  very  personificatic 
of  health  and  beauty.  Now  she  has  made  America  ea 
conscious  of  her,  as  well  as  eye-conscious. 

When  I  had  my  interview  with  her,  I  wanted  to  s? 
just  as  Neysa  McMein  had  some  years  ago,  when  si 
was  unknown  to  Radio,  "Miss  Page,  you  are  very  bea 
tiful."  Somehow  she  radiates  personality  as  well

I  NTO  a  driving  rain  on  November 
I  17th  walked  Renee  Winkler,  sec- 
retary to  NBC's  Al  Pearce,  and 
Travis  Hale,  one  of  the  Pearce  "gang- 
sters." Around  to  the  colorful  Wee 
Kirk  o'  the  Heather  in  Glendale  they 
walked,  taking  with  them  Miss 
Winkler's  brother  Edward  and 
Ernest  Derry,  a  member  of  the 
Three  Cheers  of  the  Pearce  program. 
There  the  Rev.  J.  Lowrie  Fendrick 
performed  the  ceremony  that  brought 
to  a  climax  radio's  new  romance. 

Last  year  Rudy  Yallee  was  re- 
ported to  have  received  $4500  per 
week  playing  at  the  Hollywood  Res- 
taurant in  New  York.  This  year, 
back  in  the  same  spot,  he  is  said  to 
be  receiving  S5500.  The  $1000  raise 
being  in  appreciation  of  the  big  busi- 
ness which  Rudy  brings  to  the  dine 
and  dance  club. 

Virginia  Payne,  NBC  actress 
heard  on  Oxydol's  Ma  Perkins  pro- 
grams, has  been  elected  president  of 
the  Omega  Upsilon  national  profes- 
sional dramatic  sorority. 

On  every  holiday,  for  the  past 
seven  years,  a  leading  Fifth  Avenue 
shop  delivers  to  Jessica  Dragonette 
a  big  basket  of  fruits  and  delicacies. 
The  gift  is  ordered  each  time  by  a 
fan  who  lives  in  Greensboro,  North 
Carolina,  and  whom  Miss  Dragon- 
ette has  never  met.  A  few  years  ago 
she  gave  a  concert  in  Greensboro 
and  hoped  to  meet  the  liberal  fan, 
but  he  did  not  put  in  an  appearance. 
He  wrote,  later,  that  he  had  attended 
the  concert. 

There's  another  radio  baby  on  the 
way.  Hal  Kemp,  whose  band  plays 
at  New  York's  Hotel  Pennsylvania, 
and  Mrs.  Kemp,  the  former  Elsie 
Slaughter  of  Houston,  Texas,  society 
fame,  will  be  the  parents.  The  time : 
April.  The  Kemps  already  have  one 
child,  a  year-old  daughter. 

What  a  hubby  Walter  Wicker 
must  be.  He's  just  presented  his 
wife,  Ireene,  who  is  NBC's  Singing 
Lady,  with  a  diamond  studded  wrist 
watch  on  the  occasion  of  their  wed- 
ding anniversary. 

January  6th  is  the  definite  date  set 
for  the  return  of  Cab  Calloway  to 
the  Cotton  Club  and  the  NBC  air 
waves. 

Igor  Gorin,  the  young  Russian 
baritone  who  missed  a  singing  job 
with  Roxy  because  he  was  in  Ber- 
muda, is  back  in  the  U.  S.  and  has 
applied  for  citizenship. 


'"You're  a  hard  worker,  Bess,'  my  sister  said 
one  day,  'but  your  clothes  are  such  tattle- 
tales.  That  grayish  look  tells  everyone  they 
aren't  really  clean ! "...  I  was  furious,  but  I 
took  her  hint.  I  stopped  buying  'trick 
soaps'  and  gave  Fels-Naptha  Soap  a  try." 


"And  what  a  lucky  day  I  In  a  second,  I  chip 
Fels-Naptha  into  the  water  in  my  washing 
machine  and  get  the  grandest  suds.  I  never 
dreamed  golden  soap  is  so  much  richer.  And 
Fels-Naptha  is  /////  of  clean-smelling  naptha! 
Even  grimy,  greasy  dirt  floats  right  out.*' 

"Everybody  says  nice  things  about  my  washes 
now — no  more  tattle-tale  gray  in  my  house. 
John  says  that  red  look  is  gone  out  of  my 
hands,  too.  There's  soothing  glycerine  in 
Fels-Naptha,  you  see. '  Fels&Co.,  Phila.,  Pa.

THE  ANSWER  MAN  ANSWERS 


THE  readers  hurl  a  mighty  challenge  to  Uncle  Answer 
Man.  They  say  he's  dumb  and  that  his  mind  won't  stand 
up  under  the  kind  of  intelligence  test  on  which  a  radio 
listener  of  five  could  get  ninety-eight  per  cent. 

Them  is  fighting  words  where  Uncle  Answer  Man 
comes  from.  But  of  course,  as  Fred  Allen  would  have 
it.  no  one  knows  where  he  comes  from,  so,  he's  safe 
enough  there. 

But  he  is  willing  to  submit  to  an  intelligence  test  by 
the  readers,  provided  the  readers  prove  themselves  worthy 
of  giving  it  by  following  those  darned  old  instructions 
which  include : 

1.  Not  asking  him  for  photographs  of  artists. 

2.  Xot  demanding  that  he  send  you  addresses  of  stars. 


3.  Xot  expecting  him  to  pay  any  attention  to  letters  that 
have  more  than  two  questions  in  them.  . 

4.  Remembering  that  he'd  like  to  answer  all  your  ques- 
tions, but.  because  there  are  so  many,  he  just  has  to 
publish  those  asked  by  the  most  readers. 

And  now  to  determine  Uncle  A.  M.'s  "I.  O."  (In 
schools  and  universities  they  call  it  "Intelligence  Quota."

(Editor's  note:  Since  this  was  written,  Uncle  Answer 
Man  was  put  in  jail  for  trying  to  pick  a  piece  of  lint  off 
a  policeman's  chest  with  knuckle  dusters — brass  knuckles 
to  you.  How  in  the  world  he's  going  to  get  out  a  column 
next  month  is  hard  to  tell.  It  will  be  interesting  to  see 
what  he  can  do.) 


Is  Your  Unkie  A.  M.  a  Dumbell? 


O.  Pick  Lanny  Ross'  correct  height 
from  the  following:  two  feet  three 
inches;  six  feet  one  and  one  half 
inches ;  eleven  feet  nine  inches. 

A.  Six  feet  one  and  one  half  inches. 

O.  Quick.  If  Lanny  is  that  height, 
how  tall  is  Conrad  Thibault? 

A.  Five  feet  eleven  inches.  Both  he 
and  Lanny  zveigli  165  pounds  though. 

O.  Stick  to  the  questions.  If 
Loretta  Clemens  is  Jack  Clemens' 
partner  on  the  air,  are  they  brother 
and  sister  ? 

A.  Yon  bet  they  are.  And  Loretta's 
the  older,  being  twenty-eight,  while 
Jack  is  only  twenty-four. 

Q.  Who  sings  the  Maxwell  House 
Show  Boat  drinking  song?  You've 
got  eleven  and  four-fifths  seconds  for 
this  one. 


A.  I'll  settle  for  eleven.  Lanny 
sings  it  with  the  Show  Boat  chorus 
joining  in.  While  Lanny  zuas  in 
Hollytvood,  Conrad  sang  the  solo 
part. 

O.  Good.  Did  Charles  Winninger 
resign  from  the  Show  Boat  program 
to  go  on  the  stage  ? 

A.  Mm-hm.  That  part  as  you  prob- 
ably know,  about  Jiis  marrying  Nancy 
Stokes  was  done  to  make  his  leaving 
the  program  more  graceful.  He  left 
to  join  Libby  Hohnan's  neiv  musical 
comedy,  "Revenge  With  Music," 
which  closed  shortly  after  its  opening 
in  Philadelphia.  As' RADIO  STARS 
goes  to  press,  though,  Uncle  Answer 
Man  understands  that  the  show  is  be- 
ing rczuritten  witli  the  hope  of  an- 
•qther  and  more  successful  run. 


O.  Well,  we're  glad  you  understand 
something,  anyhow.  Now.  here's  a 
sticker  for  you.  Is  Lanny  Ross'  Log 
Cabin  a  real  place? 

A.  The  sponsor  and  RADIO 
STARS  Magazine  try  to  make  it 
seem  as  real  as  possible  to  you.  Of 
course  it  takes  place  in  one  of  the 
beautiful  Radio  City  studios,  but  it  is 
the  kind  of  make-believe  that  has  the 
friendliest  intent  behind  it. 

O.  Select  the  orchestra  from  the 
following  with  which  Eddie  Stone  is 
singing :  Isham  Jones' ;  Harry  Sal- 
ter's. 

A.  Can't  catch  me.  Neither.  He  did 
sing  with  Isham  Jones.  Then  when 
Salter's  band  went  into  the  Park

IN  THIS  PICTURE 


LADY,  you're  lovely! 

Radiant,  fresh,  and  in  the  bloom  of  young 
womanhood. 

And  behind  that  young  and  lovely  face 
is  a  mind  full  of  an  old  wisdom  .  .  .  old  as 
womankind  itself  .  .  .  and  it  decrees  "keep 
lovely." 

So  your  dressing  tabic  is  laden  with  fine 
creams  and  lotions  and  cosmetics  fragrant 
as  a  garden  in  June.  And  every  other  aid 
devised  to  make  lovely  woman  lovelier  still 
. .  .  and  to  keep  her  that  way! 

Among  these  aids  .  .  .  and  you're  very 
wise  ...  is  a  certain  little  blue  box. 

It  won't  be  on  your  dressing  table,  but 
discreetly  placed  in  your  medicine  chest. 
Its  name  is  Ex-Lax.  Its  purpose  ...  to  com- 
bat that  ancient  enemy  to  loveliness  and 
health. . .  constipation ..  .to  relieve  it  gently, 
pleasantly,  painlessly. 

You  see,  while  Ex-Lax  is  an  ideal  laxa- 
tive for  anyone  of  any  age  or  either  sex,  it 
is  especially  good  for  women.  You  should 
never  shock  your  delicate  feminine  system 
with  harsh  laxatives.  They  cause  pain,  upset 
you,  leave  you  weak.  Ex-Lax  is  gentle  in 
action.  Yet  it  is  as  thorough  as  any  laxative 
you  could  take.  And  .  .  .  this  is  so  impor- 


tant !  .  .  .  Ex-Lax  won't  form  a  habit.  You 
don't  have  to  keep  on  increasing  the  dose 
to  get  results.  And  it's  so  charmingly  easy 
to  take  — for  it  tastes  just  like  delicious 
chocolate. 

And  That 
"Certain  Something" 

These  are  the  cold  facts  about  Ex-Lax.  But 
there  is  more  than  that.  It's  the  ideal  com- 
bination of  all  these  qualities  — combined 
in  the  exclusive  Ex-Lax  way  —  that  gives 
Ex-Lax  a  "certain  something"  —  a  certain 
satisfaction— that  puts  Ex-Lax  in  a  class  by 
itself.  Our  telling  you  won't  prove  that. 
You  must  try  it  yourself  to  know  what  we 
mean!

WHY  FRANK  MUNN 


WHEN  FRANK  MUNN  was  twenty-two,  lie  let  love 
pass  by.  There  was  a  girl  then  whom  he  might  have 
held  in  his  arms  and  married,  hut  he  was  afraid  to  ask 
her  to  share  his  poverty.  Afraid  of  what  the  iron  chains 
of  circumstances  might  do  to  their  ardent  young  love. 
For  four  years  he  saw  her  whenever  he  could — and  said 
nothing.  So  the  years  slipped  by  and  she  married  some- 
one else. 

Was  Munn  very  wise  or  very  foolish  in  letting  young 
love  pass  by?  All  of  you  who  are  postponing  marriage, 
because  you  are  without  jobs  or  are  waiting  for  times  to 
get  better  before  you  take  the  great  gamble,  ought  to 
know  his  story.  Why  he  made  the  decision  he  did  and 
the  kind  of  a  man  that  that  decision  made  of  him. 

Frank  Munn  himself  is  very  sure  that  he  was  wise.  So 
very,  very  wise,  not  to  take  a  chance  on  blasting  love's 
young  dream.  He  saw  the  right  thing  to  do  and  he  did  it. 

It  would  be  very  nice  if  life  were  as  simple  as  that 
and  the  right  thing  and  the  wrong  thing  to  do  always  so 
clear.    But  I'm  afraid  Munn  is  only  kidding  himself. 

For  sixteen  years  he  has  been  saying  "No"  to  life 
and  "No"  to  love.  You  can't  keep  on  doing  that  for  all 
those  years  without  tormenting  yourself  a  great  deal. 

It  isn't  easy  to  explain  a  man  who  at  thirty-eight  has 
never  taken  a  drink,  doesn't  smoke.    A  man  who  has 

14 


never  been  married,  but  who  now  for  the  first  time  in 
his  life  is  engaged  to  a  girl  he  loves. 

I  can't  explain  him.  All  I  can  do  is  tell  you  about 
him  and  let  you  judge  for  yourself. 

Weighing  200  pounds,  he  looks  like  one  of  those  fat 
men  you  sometimes  see  in  nightclubs,  ogling  every  pretty 
woman  who  passes  and  telling  the  little  blonde  with  him 
that  she  can  have  anything  her  li'l  heart  desires,  if  shell 
only  be  nice  to  him. 

That's  what  you  expect  of  plump,  jovial  bachelors 
who've  passed  the  thirty-five  mark.  But  Frank  Munn 
is  a  Sir  Galahad  with  the  body  of  a  butcher. 

As  a  boy,  he  was  just  like  any  other  chunky  young- 
ster, stealing  pickles  from  the  grocer,  talking  behind  the 
teacher's  back,  pulling  the  braids  of  the  pretty  girl  in 
front  of  him  in  school.  Once  he  was  almost  arrested 
because  he  turned  in  a  false  fire  alarm,  and  on  that  occa- 
sion he  was  soundly  walloped  by  his  father. 

Yet  surely  there  must  be  some  explanation  for  the  fact 
that  when  love  came  to  him,  he  played  his  hand  over- 
cautiously.  And  I  think  I  know  why.  His  mother  died 
when  he  was  nine  days  old  and  he  was  brought  up  by 
his  grandmother  and  his  father.  Naturally  his  grand- 
mother smothered  him  with  cookies  and  kindness,  and 
his  father,  just  a  plain,  ordinary,  everyday  cop,  smothered 


RADIO  STARS 


SINGS  TO  A  LOST  LOVE 


him  with  sternness.  For  years  he  never  knew  what  it 
meant  to  call  his  soul  his  own.  He  never  went  out 
nights  without  that  eternal  barrage  of  questions  from  his 
father,  ''Where  are  you  going?  Whom  are  you  going  to 
see  ?" 

No  doubt  his  father  meant  it  all  for  the  boy's  own 
good,  but  parents  aren't  always  the  best  judges  of  what 
is  best  for  our  immortal  souls.  Sometimes  in  trying  to 
protect  us  from  life,  they  fail  to  develop  in  us  the  cour- 
age to  make  brave  and  dangerous  decisions. 

Firm  were  his  father's  orders  that  he  must  be  in  at 
nine  o'clock  each  night.  Perhaps  if  he  had  resisted 
them  right  at  the  start,  fought  his  father  tooth  and  nail, 
he  might  have  grown  up  to  be  something  more  than  a 
timid  soul.  He  might  have  escaped  the  awful  fate  of 
being  Sir  Galahad  in  an  age  that  has  no  use  for  Gal- 
ahads. 

From  the  age  of  fourteen  he  began  to  haunt  Engine 
House  Eighty-two  in  New  York.  There  he  found  the 
spot  of  color  in  his  drab  life.  Inside  the  fire  house 
was  heaven  and  he'd  gleefully  sprint  miles  to  help 
the  fire  department  put  out  a  fire.  With  a  helmet  on 
his  head  that  almost  completely  covered  his  face,  he'd 
sit  on  the  back  of  a  fire  engine  and  beg  the  firemen  to 
let  him  go  to  every  fire  in  the  neighborhood.    This  went 


on  from  the  time  he  was  fourteen  until  he  was  twenty- 
four. 

It  was  while  he  was  chasing  fire  alarms  that  he  met 
the  first  serious  love  of  his  life,  a  girl  with  dark  hair  and 
eyes,  who  lived  on  the  same  street  as  he  did.  While  he 
was  hanging  around  the  fire  house  he  first  noticed  her 
smiling  at  his  antics.  Till  then  he  hadn't  been  interested 
in  women.  Women — they  were  nothing  but  a  bunch  of 
softies,  always  getting  mushy  and  silly. 

Then  Ellen,  clever  little  Ellen  began  to  draw  him  out. 
She  asked  him  about  the  fires  he'd  gone  to  and  whether 
he  ever  rescued  anyone  or  anything.  When  he  told  her 
about  the  parrot  he'd  saved,  she  stood  there  looking  at 
him  with  eyes  that  revealed  how  thrilled  she  was. 

Why,  she  wasn't  a  mushy  kid  at  all,  he  concluded.  A 
chap  could  have  a  lot  of  fun  talking  to  her.  Timidly  he 
asked  her  to  go  with  him  to  the  neighborhood  movie. 
Afterwards  they  stopped  at  the  corner  drug  store  for  a 
soda. 

Girls  had  never  paid  much  attention  to  Frank.  After 
all,  he  was  an  unprepossessing  boy,  as  chunky  as  could 
be,  and  girls  in  their  'teens  don't  try  to  penetrate  beneath 
an  unattractive  appearance  or  give  a  darn  about  a  boy 
because  his  heart  is  pure.

TROUBLE -MAKER 

BY      GEORGE  KENT 


FRENCHY,  valet  to  Eddie  Cantor, 
was  giving  his  wee,  wispy  master  his 
rporning  rub.  It  was  a  massage  at 
the  hands  of  an  expert  and  it  made 
Radio's  most  popular  comedian  sigh  with  a 
profound  satisfaction. 

To  look  at  that  neat,  slim  Cantor  body  and 
those  warm,  almost  tender,  daisy-button  eyes, 
you'd  never  think  this  was  the  tiger  of  Radio. 
Broadway  and  Hollywood.  So,  we  asked  him 
how  come  a  mild  little  fellow,  such  as  he,  was 
always  getting  into  trouble  with  people. 

Sir  Eddie  smiled,  and  with  a  wink  at 
Frenchy  replied :  "Frenchy  rubs  me  the  right 
way.  I  rub  them  the  wrong  way." 

Not  such  a  bad  gag,  coming  hot  pop  just 
like  that.  But  it  explained  nothing.  You  see, 
Eddie  Cantor  has  had  a  way — almost  since 
the  beginning  of  his  career — of  breaking  into 
print  because  of  disputes  with  organizations, 
officials,  and  such  things  like  that.  It  wasn't 
press-agent  stuff.  Eddie  never  has  employed 
one.  So  it  was  about  time  somebody  went  up 
to  Sir  Eddie  and  asked  him  point  blank, 
Why  do  you  fight?  Hozv  does  tlic  lamb  be- 
come a  tiger? 

Before  I  tell  you  what  he  said,  let  me  re- 
mind you,  just  as  an  example,  of  his  most 
recent  battle.  You  probably  remember  it  for 
it  was  in  all  the  newspapers. 

Sol  Rosenblatt,  Code  Authority  of  the 
Motion  Picture  Industry,  was  about  to  make 
a  ruling.  It  would  have  meant  little  work 
and  less  pay  for  all  the  Hollywood  extras  and 
chorus  giils.  Eddie  didn't  like  it  a  bit.  He 
didn't  like  it  as  an  individual ;  he  didn't  like 
it  officially  as  President  of  the  Screen  Actors 
Guild.  This  Guild,  by  the  way,  is  mixed  up 
with  the  American  Federation  of  Labor. 
When  Eddie  doesn't  like  a  thing,  he  hits 
16 


out — hard !  He  made  it  plain  to  Mr.  Rosen- 
blatt that  the  ruling  could  not  stand.  The  Code 
Authority  hemmed  and  he  hawed,  he  puffed 
and  huffed,  but  finally  he  gave  in  to  Eddie. 

He  might  have  tried  to  do  it  diplomatically. 
He  might  have  tried  to  kid  the  man  out  of 
what  he  was  trying  to  do.  But  no — that's  not 
Cantor's  way.  Zingo-socko !  That's  the  Cantor 
technique. 

Frenchy  went  on  rubbing  the  comedian's 
shoulders  as  he  framed  the  words  to  reply  to 
my  questions. 

"I  don't  pull  my  punches,"  he  said.  "Be- 
cause a  man  who  pulls  his  punches  is  faking. 
And  fakers  get  found  out  sooner  or  later." 

"Fighters  can  go  on  faking  fights  for  a 
little  while.  But  they  get  found  out.  The 
same  in  ordinary  life.  And  life  all  around  us 
is  a  ring  and  we're  fighters. 

"When  I  am  right,  I  go  ahead.  With  all 
my  strength.  Regardless  of  consequences. 
How  do  I  know  I  am  right?  I  know.  If  I 
promise  to  give  you  something  and  I  don't — I 
am  wrong.  If  I  give  it  to  you  I  am  right.  It's 
simple  as  all  that.  Let  me  tell  you  a  story." 

The  story  Eddie  told  went  back  to  the  year 
1918.  That  was  the  year  he  was  playing  for 
Abe  Erlanger — in  black-face.  He  had  always 
played  in  black-face  and  smart  lad,  he  knew 
his  future  was  not  very  promising  as  long 
as  he  had  the  burnt  cork  on  his  face.  So,  he 
wrote  a  sketch  and  showed  it  to  Erlanger.  It 
was  a  skit  in  which  Eddie 
would  play  a  leading  role  in  Eddie  braves 
white-face.  a  winter  down 

Erlanger  built  the  scenery,  south  with  a 
engaged  the  musicians.  He  couple  of  hun- 
promised  Eddie  when  the  dred  pounds 
show  was  tried  out  in  Atlan-  of  Jimmy 
tic   City,   the   sketch   would  Wallington.

also  be  tried  out.  But  nothing  hap- 
pened in  Atlantic  City.  Erlanger  was 
not  keeping  his  promise.  Erlanger  was 
wrong.  Eddie  was  right.  He  walked 
into  Erlanger's  office. 

"The  sketch  goes  on  as  you  prom- 
ised. Or  I  quit." 

Erlanger  became  a  volcano.  He 
erupted  and  covered  Eddie  with  sul- 
phur and  brimstone.  He  told  him  he 
would  not  only  keep  him  out  of  all 
Erlanger  shows,  he  would  also  see  to 
it  that  Eddie  Cantor  was  never  seen 
on  Broadway  again. 

Now  this  wasn't  a  man  talking 
through  his  pen-wiper.  It  was  the  great 
Erlanger  who  owned  seventy  per  cent 
of  the  theatres  on  Broadway,  who  had 
a  piece  in  every  dramatic  and  musical 
pie  baked  in  the  Great  White  Way. 
But  Eddie,  who  in  that  threat  saw  his 
entire  life  hammered  into  bits,  stood 
his  ground. 

Eye  to  eye.  toe  to  toe — the  skinny 
little  black-face  who  wanted  to  be 
white- face — the  big,  stout  producer 
who  wanted  to  rule  his  roost.  And 
Erlanger  gave  in.

1934s  BEST  ANNOUNCER 


O  JAMES  WALLINGTON  GO 
HE  LAURELS  FOR  THE  MOST 
)UTSTANDING  DICTION  IN 
ANNOUNCING 


\MES  WALLINGTON,  we  salute  you! 
For  two  successive  years — the  first  time  it  has  hap- 
;ned  in  the  history  of  radio — you  have  been  named 
e  best  announcer  on  the  air. 

Last  year,  James  Wallington  received  the  gold  medal 
>r  diction  of  the  Academy  of  Arts  and  Letters.  This 
;ar,  the  Board  of  Review  of  RADIO  STARS  Magazine 
lects  him  as  the  stand-out  announcer  of  1934.  And 
st  spring,  you  will  recall,  he  was  first  in  the  popularity 
ill  conducted  among  RADIO  STARS  readers. 
Several  weeks  ago,  when  it  became  known  that  the 
merican  Academy  of  Arts  and  Letters  was  discontinu- 
g  its  annual  custom  of  giving  a  diction  award,  RADIO 
TARS  Magazine  announced  its  own  Best  Announcer's 
rophy.  Judges  were  to  be  the  outstanding  newspaper 
dio  columnists  and  editors  of  America  who  make  up 
ir  Board  of  Review.    These  radio  critics  were  asked 

judge  the  1934  crop  of  announcers  on  the  following 
)ints :  diction,  delivery,  microphone  personality,  ability 
adapt  oneself  to  the  program  mood,  and  versatility. 
The  story  of  "Jimmie,"  as  Eddie  Cantor  has  called  him 
>r  two  years,  is  that  of  a  talented  boy  who  became  a 
an.  Around  NBC,  they  formerly  called  him  the  "kid 
inouncer."  He  was  barely  out  of  his  teens  when  he 
ft  Schenectady  and  WGY  to  seek  his  fortune  in  Gotham, 
i  an  interview  several  years  ago  he  said,  "Please  .  .  . 
ease  don't  say  I'm  just  past  twenty-one.    I'm  way  past 

I'm  twenty-three !"  He  wanted  to  grow  up  very  badly. 
"Well,  he  has  grown  up  .  .  .  not  too  much,  but  just 
lough.  Not  too  much  to  act  as  stooge  for  any  comedian 
ho  wants  an  expert  foil,  and  just  enough  to  lend  dignity 
id  charm  to  more  sedate  occasions.  Even  yet,  he  grabs 
i  occasional  dare-devil  announcing  assignment  just  for 
ie  fun  of  it.  And  even  yet  he  says,  "Please  don't  call 
e  the  kid  announcer." 

We  won't,  Jimmie.  You've  won  your  spurs.  Congrat- 
ations  on  your  two-year  reign  as  the  best  announcer  in 

merica.  And  extra  special  congratulations  on  being  the 
rst  to  win  RADIO  STARS  Magazine's  Best  An- 
ouncer's  Trophy. 


Pretending  he's  not  a  fire  chief— can  you  imagine  Ed  Wynn  doing  that?  Texaco 
would  hide  all  top  hats  if  they  could  see  him  now.  It  actually  looks  as  if  he  deserted 
his  horse  and  caught  a  photographer.  What  a  nighter-outer  he  turned  out  to  be. 
The  night  is  Tuesday  at  9:30  pjn.  EST  over  NBC-as  if  you  d.dnt  know  for 
Wynn  is  the  national  cause  making  Tuesday  an    at  home    evening  in  the  U.b.A. 


Who  hasn't  met  "Just  Plain  Bill?"  Every  town,  big  or  small,  has  a  character  like 
this  friendly  old  barber  of  Hartville.  Arthur  Hughes,  above,  makes  him  so  real  that 
you  instantly  recognize  him  as  someone  you  know.  If  you  aren't  already  acquainted 
with  this  well-known  actor,  you  will  find  him  any  day  from  Monday  through  Friday  at 
1:00  p.m.  EST  over  Columbia  and  again  on  a  re-broadcast  at  7:15  p.m.  EST.

IM   C  HAS  INI 


WHEN  DISEASE  CLAIMED  THIS  VICTIM,  RADIO,  THE  HEALER,  GAV, 


I  HAD  THREE  months  to  live.  Three  short  months! 
That  was  my  tenure  on  life  and  happiness  and  the  suc- 
cessful newspaper  career  I'd  built  up  for  myself  in  five 
years.  That  was  what  I'd  have  to  tell  the  girl  who'd  stood 
by,  through  thick  and  thin,  ever  since  our  marriage. 

That  was  all  I  could  think  of,  as  the  big  Kansas  City 
lung  specialist  talked  on.  And  that  brief  reprieve  hinged 
on  my  giving  up  my  business,  my  home,  my  friends,  and 
going  west! 

It  didn't  seem  worth  it.  Not  until  my  wife,  who,  like 
the  grand  girl  she  is,  reminded  me  again  that  the  most  in- 
surmountable obstacle  is  just  something  to  be  overcome ! 

I'd  known,  of  course,  for  months,  that  something  was 
wrong.  I'd  been  running  down  like  a  clock ;  driving  myself 
to  making  a  go  of  my  second  newspaper  venture  in  spite 
of  a  daily  temperature  of  102  ;  kidding  myself  that  a  spring 
vacation  would  fix  me  up.  But  I  never  dreamed  that  I 
was  one  more  victim  of  the  dreaded  T.  B.  Tluat  was  some- 
thing that  happened  to  other  people,  never  to  one's  self. 


Unless  you've  been  through  it  yourself,  you'll  nerl 
know  what  it's  like  to  check  into  a  mountain-top  sanal-. 
ium,  exiled,  to  spend  the  rest  of  your  earthly  days  in  III 
That  still,  white-walled  room  was  my  death  chambe  I 
and  I  knew  it.  There  was  just  the  intervening  timeii 
kill,  while  time  killed  me! 

My  wife  took  a  room  in  the  sanatorium  to  be  with  e 
those  last  few  months.  She  pleaded  with  me  not  to  f.  d 
up,  to  fight.  Yes,  I  admit  it.  In  those  first  black  we  a 
of  illness  and  desperation,  I  had  just  one  idea — suici  ij 
What  had  I  to  fight  for?  A  few  extra  months,  a  yd 
maybe,  of  futility  and  pain.  Of  utter  and  absolute  h>>4 
lessness,  and  enforced  inactivity.  Interests?  Diversi  I 
I  couldn't  even  read  a  newspaper!  I,  who  had  breatd 
and  thought  "newspaper"  since  I  was  fourteen.  It  t  k 
precious  strength  to  even  hold  a  newspaper  now. 

Then  one  day,  after  my  morning  nap,  I  found  a  1  £j 
brown  box  beside  my  bed.  A  miniature  radio,  withp 
Lilliputian  sound-grille.     My  wife?  had  noticed  onel

And  a  tired  babe  to  sing  to  sleep, 
ll'liat  does  a  woman  want  but  these — 
A  home,  a  child,  and  a  man  to  please.'' 

THERE'S  Mother  Moran's  homely  recipe  for  a  woman's 
happiness.  Old  fashioned?  Well,  perhaps.  But  thou- 
sands of  listeners  to  Today's  Children  write,  asking  for 
the  little  poem  that  starts  with  these  lines.  Many  hits  of 
verse  they  ask  Mother  Moran  to  repeat  on  the  air.  But 
this  is  their  favorite.  These  words,  of  all  her  homely  hits, 
they  cherish  most,  hecause  it  is  in  simple  accord  with  their 
own  philosophy  of  a  good  life. 

Mother  Moran  lives  in  a  modest  home  on  a  quiet,  elm- 
shaded  street  in  the  great  city,  radiating  sympathetic 
understanding,  kindliness  and  generosity  to  her  neighhors

al  friends.  Surrounding  her  is  her  family,  a  son,  who 
i:  married,  and  her  two  daughters  and  their  friends, 
ley're  all  young  moderns  fighting  for  success  in  the 
cnplex  maelstrom  of  big  city  life.  "Today's  Children," 
Iither  Moran  calls  them.  In  the  stress  of  urban  life 
t!y  sometimes  rail  against  her  simple  and  homely 
plosophy. 

pier  daughters,  of  course,  want  love,  romance,  marriage, 
dren — but  they  demand  a  career,  too. 
When  you're  paintin'  your  dreams."  Mother  Moran 
inds  them,  "be  careful  of  the  colors  you're  goin'  to  be 
',  'cause  sometimes  you  make  a  mistake  and  the  colors 
tit  you  think  are  goin'  to  look  good  don't  look  so  good  in 
t  finished  picture.   There  are  only  three  colors  that  have 
sod  the  test  of  all  the  men  and  women  in  the  world — 
t  colors  of  love,  family,  home." 


These  are  the  colors  that  shed  their  glow  over  all  the 
episodes  of  Today's  Children.  A  dozen  flesh  and  blood 
characters,  typical  of  average  living,  dominate  the  scene, 
yet  none  of  them  is  dominant.  With  consummate  skill, 
Irna  Phillips  and  Walter  Wicker,  out  of  whose  facile 
minds  the  homely  episodes  and  characters  who  make  them 
are  spun,  manage  always  to  keep  the  spotlight  on  the 
family. 

And  the  experiences  of  this  intimate  group) — their  hopes 
and  aspirations,  their  triumphs  and  failures,  their  joys 
and  woes  keep  a  tremendous  audience  glued  to  their 
radios  every  morning.  Why,  a  few  months  ago  the 
sponsor,  yielding  to  unnumbered  requests  for  pictures  of 
Today's  Children,  got  out  a  little  booklet  and  invited  fans 
to  write  in  for  it.  Well,  listeners  flooded  NBC  with  an

THERE'S  a  new,  blue-eyed,  blonde  baby  girl  on 
Radio  Row.  She's  Joan  Benny,  recently  adopted 
by  Jack  Benny  and  Mary  Livingstone.  The  little 
girl  was  taken  into  the  Benny  home  the  last  of 
October  and  she'll  be  seven  months  old  the  17th  of  this 
month.  This  is  the  second  couple  of  comedians  to  adopt 
a  baby ;  George  Burns  and  Gracie  Allen  being  the  first. 
Looking  to  the  future,  Jack  Pearl  (the  Baron  Munchau- 
sen) and  Mrs.  Pearl  will  probably  be  next. 

James  Melton,  Baby  Rose  Marie,  Burns  and  Allen 
and  Nino  Martini  are  the  latest  to  be  scheduled  for  the 
movies.  Tenor  Melton  is  slated  to  do  "New  York,  Lon- 
don and  Paris"  or  "The  Broadway  Gondolier"  for  War- 
ner Brothers.  Baby  Rose  Marie  isn't  new  to  the  flickers, 
but  she  hasn't  made  a  picture  for  many  months.  Burns 
and  Allen  are  already  in  Hollywood  at  work.  Nino  hasn't 
made  up  his  mind  whether  to  accept  his  offer  or  not. 

The  date  of  Eddie  Cantor's  switch  to  CBS  has  been 
set  for  February  3rd,  8  to  8:30  p.  m.,  EST.  His  place 
on  the  Chase  and  Sanborn  hour  on  NBC  is  being  taken 
by  a  series  of  light  operas. 

Rumor  says  Ken  Roberts,  CBS  announcer  recently 
divorced,  is  looking  longingly  toward  Vivian  Janis,  for- 
merly the  vocalist  with  Leon  Belasco's  band. 

It's  a  boy  in  the  household  of  Don  McNeill,  master  of 
ceremonies  on  the  NBC  Breakfast  Club  and  the  Clima- 
lene  Carnival. 

Amos  V  Andy  are  not  only  smart  showmen,  but 
smart  business  men.  Not  long  ago  the  boys  were  in 
Washington,  and  called  on  their  friend  Jesse  Jones, 
chairman  of  the  Reconstruction  Finance  Corporation. 
The  board  was  in  session,  so  they  had  to  wait.  When 
only  a  few  minutes  remained  before  their  show  started, 
they  bucked  up  and  walked  in  on  the  meeting.  Amos 
as  spokesman  said :  "Gentlemen  of  the  Deconstruction 
Finance  Corpolation,  me  and  Andy  wants  to  borrow  two 
dollars.  We  is  building  Weber  City.  Dis  is  a  model 
city  where  candidates  fo'  office  can  make  speeches  when 
dey  ain't  got  no  chance  to  talk  at  no  other  place.  We 
gives  you  as  security  a  c'attle  mo'gage  on  de  taxicab, 
our  personal  note  and  Andy's  hat.  And  we  wants  de 
two  bucks  right  now."  Jones  turned  down  the  hat, 
accepted  the  taxi  mortgage  and  ordered  the  check  drawn. 
The  surprised  board  members  concurred  in  the  decision. 
Amos  said  they  plan  to  keep  the  check  as  a  souvenir. 

The  mother  of  Adelaide  Moffett,  CBS  singer  featured

EXIT  EXOTIC 

SHOULD  SLANTING  EYES  AND  A  TASTE  FOR  CAVIAR  LABEL  A  GIRL  AS 
LA  DAME  EXOTIQUE?    GERTRUDE  NIESEN  WOULD  LIKE  TO  KNOW 


THE  WAY  IT  all  started  was  the  darndest  thing.  An 
alarmingly  shrill  jangle  of  the  telephone  wakened  a  Brook- 
lyn family  one  winter  midnight  and  a  sleepy  little  girl 
named  Gertrude  scrambled  out  of  bed.  Up  in  the  front 
room  Mama  Niesen  nudged  Papa  Niesen  into  full  con- 
sciousness. "Cousin  Min's  asthma,"  she  whispered  in 
ominous  tones,  "is  starting  a  spell  just  as  sure  as  the 
world.  I  have  a  feeling."  They  sat  up  to  listen. 
Silence. 

Then  a  lot  of  girlish  gurglings  and  Gertrude  came 
bounding  up  the  steps  by  threes.   The  Manhattan 
theatrical  agency  to  which  she  had  made  a  very 
secretive    application    two    weeks  before 
wanted   her  to   see   them  immediately. 
"Right  away,  Miss  Niesen."    A  job. 
Vaudeville. 

Well,  she'd  just  simply  have  to 
tell  them.    Perched  on  the  foot  of 
the  big  four-poster,  hugging  her 
nightie  about  her  to  keep  from 
shivering,  the  daughter  of  the 
family  did  a  lot  of  tall  ex- 
plaining to  two  as  wide-eyed 
parents  as  ever  tried  to  raise 
a  modern  girl. 
"You?  In  show  business? 
Well  I   should  say  not!" 
Niesen  perc  was  being  em- 
phatically   definite.  "My 
eighteen-year-old  daughter  go 
out  at  this  ridiculous  hour? 
won't  consider  it.    Go  on  back  to 
bed,    Gertrude,   before    you  freeze 
death." 

"I    hope    I    do,"    sobbed  Gertrude 
stamping    barefoot    down    the  hall, 
"then    you'll    be    sorry."     A  door 
slammed  in  the  back  of  the  house 
and  there  was  silence  again. 

A    few    minutes    later  Niesen 
mere  spoke  thoughtfully  in  the 
dark,  "You  might  let  her  go 
this  once,  John,  and  get  it  out 
of  her  system;  or  else  we'll 
j»        have  this  to  put  up  with  for 
along  time.    You  know  that 
*        chilcl   when  she  sets  her 
mind  to  something." 
"Oh,  all  right,"  mumbled 
the  Big  Bear,  too  sleepy  to  pro- 
test.   "She'll  get  fed  up  with  that  stuff." 
Within  a  few  days  New  York  theatre-goers 
saw  a  slim,  nervous  brunette  do  a  perfectly  swell 
imitation  of  Lydia  Roberti.   They  clapped  a  lot  because 
they  liked  it.   Then  the  same  girl  sprung  a  couple  choruses 
of  a  blues  ditty  on  them.  That  time  they  cheered ! 

Papa  Niesen  had  been  exactly  fifty  per  cent  right  in  his 
prediction.  Gertrude  was  getting  "up"  but  without  the 
"fed,"  and  getting  there  fast.  Miss  Roberti  had  to  leave

she  annexed  a  new  long-term  agreement  with  the  CBS 
Artists'  Bureau,  a  continuation  in  the  starring  role 
of  "The  Big  Show"  and  some  more  vaudeville 
contracts.     There  was  a  dramatic  role 
opposite  Ernest  Truex  turned  down  be- 
cause she  didn't  have  time  for  it,  but 
just  to  be  sure  of  keeping  busy  she 
continues    her    twice-nightly  per- 
formances at  the  swanker  of  the 
swank  Manhattan  clubs.  Work- 
ing-Girl Niesen.    It  agrees  with 
her. 

"It  was  in  my  first  radio  days 
that  they  started  calling  me  'ex- 
otic'   I  couldn't  understand  it 
— I  was  just  me.  wasn't  I  ?  Then 
once  while  I  was  powdering  my 
nose  I  happened  to  see  something 
I  hadn't  even  noticed  before.  'Ger- 
trude, your  eyes  slant  up'  I  said.  'That 
must  be  it.'  " 
That  was  it.    The  schnozzola  Durante,  the 
mouth  Brown,  and  the  curves  West  had  nothing 
on  those  Niesen  orbs,  thought  the  publicity  man.  So 
they  set  about  making  her  La  Dame  Exotique.  Photo- 
graphed her  draping  over  a  chaise  longue,  eyebrows  on  a 
forty-five  degree  angle.  Gown  sophisticatedly  decolletage. 
Expression  a  little  more  blase,  please.    Let's  try  one  with 
the  lips  parted  this  time.    Hold  it. 

Exotic  Lady.  Exotic  singer  of  exotic  melodies.  Per- 
fume of  oriental  incense  rising  from  an  alabaster  altar. 
Tempestuous,  temperamental,  mysteriously  aloof.  The 
stories  grew  after  that.  You  loved  it.  We  all  did.  But 
Gertrude  Niesen's  not  thai  way! 

We  had  to  laugh  the  night  she  came  romping  into  the 
studio  flushed  and  out  of  breath.  She'd  been  dinner-dating 
at  a  hotel  up  the  avenue  a  way  when  suddenly  it  dawned 
on  her — Air  Time!  Said  the  I^angorous  Lady  to  her 
young  man  in  an  unruffled  tone,  "My  deah.  I  cawn't 
imagine !  It's  eight-thirty."  She  smoothed  the  new 
Vermilion  No.  2  across  her  cupid's  bow  approvingly, 
adjusted  a  faultless  finger  wave,  and  slinked  through  the 
room  careful  lest  her  Lafhvin  train  sweep  the  carj>et  too 
fast  to  fully  impress  the  other  diners.  Not  Gertrude. 
"Holy  smoke!  I  gotta  go!"  She  ran  lickety-split  between 
the  maze  of  tables,  escort  in  pursuit.  And,  unnoticed,  her 
flowing  white  napkin  of  positively  sheet-white  proportions 
had  streamed  from  her  arm  all  the  way  over  to  the 
studio ! 

Exotic?   She'll  have  none  of  it.  (Continued  on  page  65)

I  are  futile  and  make  her  question  the  use  of  going  on. 

You  can't  blame  the  announcer,  but — well,  here's  an 
I  incident  in  the  life  of  George  Hicks.  He  left  his  suburban 
home  as  usual  one  morning  to  go  to  the  New  York  NBC 
I  studios.  Mrs.  Hicks  bade  him  farewell  expecting  him 
I  home  as  usual  that  evening.  As  he  left,  she  cautioned 
>  |  him : 

"Don't  forget  to  go  to  the  department  store,  now. 
You  know  how  badly  we  need  that  baby  carriage.  We've 
R  got  to  have  it  tomorrow." 

"I  won't,  dear.  I'll  have  it  home  tonight." 
Night  time  came  and  no  baby  carriage — nor  any  George. 
And  the  next  night  artd  the  next.  What  had  happened  ? 
I  An  emergency  news  broadcast  had  been  hastily  planned 
y,  to  go  on  from  Chicago.    The  minute  he  got  to  the  studios 

I  George  was  assigned  to  it.    He  had  to  rush  so  to  catch 
his  train,  he  had  no  time  whatsoever  to  call  his  wife. 

II  George  returned  three  nights  and  two  days  later,  still 
|  without  the  baby  carriage  he  had  so  solemnly  promised. 


I  recall  the  time  James  Wallington  was  broadcasting 
from  a  diving  bell,  a  submarine  rescue  chamber,  designed 
to  be  lowered  to  sunken  submarines  for  saving  trapped 
men.  The  down  trip  had  been  made  and  the  chamber  con- 
taining Wallington  was  being  slowly  hauled  up  through 
the  water.  Then  the  winch  raising  the  chaml>er  halted 
momentarily  as  though  jammed.  An  announcer,  in  whose 
brain  rose  pictures  of  the  men  in  the  rescue  chamber  far 
below  the  surface  of  the  sea.  cried  into  his  microphone: 

"Something's  gone  wrong.  They  can't  get  the  chamber 
up  any  further." 

You  can  imagine  the  fear  that  clutched  the  heart  of 
Mrs.  Wallington  as  she  listened  to  those  words  coming 
through  the  loudspeaker. 

The  night  of  the  last  great  Coney  Island  fire,  Ted 
Husing  returned  home,  weary  and  worn  after  a  hard  day. 
His  wife,  whom  he  called  Bubbles,  urged,  him  to  rest. 
He  needed  little  urging.

WALTER  O'KEEFE  came  to  New  York  to  seek' 
his  fortune  when  he  and  the  present  century  were 
in  their  early  twenties — they  came  into  the  world 
at  about  the  same  time.  It  wasn't  his  first  venture 
for  he  had  been  independent  since  his  seventeenth  year, 
but  it  was  the  most  important  one,  because  it  decided  his 
future  career. 

Having  taken  a  room  at  the  Times  Square  Hotel,  he 
invested  practically  his  entire  capital  (he  had  a  little  over 
a  dollar)  in  a  long  telegram  to  the  late  Texas  Guinan, 
which  he  felt  quite  sure  was  amusing  enough  to  persuade 
her  to  give  him  a  job  as  entertainer  in  her  nightclub. 
All  that  evening  Walter  sat  alone  in  his  dreary  hotel 
room  hearing  the  roar  of  the  city  outside  his  window, 
waiting  for  Texas  to  phone  him.  And  all  evening  the 
telephone  sat  black  and  smug  on  its  little  table  without 
giving  so  much  as  a  tinkle.  At  one-fifteen,  not  knowing 
that  Texas  didn't  even  arrive  at  her  place  of  business 
until  past  midnight,  he  crept  into  bed  and,  heartbroken, 
cried  himself  to  sleep. 

At  seven  next  morning  the  phone  rang  its  head  off. 
Staggering  out  of  bed  he  wondered  what  was  wrong.  A 
fire  maybe. 

"Hello,"  he  croaked  sleepily. 

"Hello,"  said  a  husky,  authoritative  voice,  "this  is  Texas 
Guinan.  Your  telegram  gave  me  some  good  laughs,  young 
man.    Come  up  tonight  and  if  (Continued  on  page  66)

EVE  SULLY  carried  the  torch  for  Jesse  Block  for  ten 
years,  while  Jesse  carried  the  torch  for  some  other  girl ! 

What  would  you  do,  girls,  if  the  man  you  were  crazy 
about  used  your  shoulder  only  as  a  crying  post  to  pour 
out  his  love  for  the  Other  Woman?  Game  little  Eve 
Sully  just  made  up  her  mind  to  get  her  man !  And  did 
she?  Well,  there  would  be  no  Block  and  Sully  today,

them  that  everything's  fair  in  love  and  work  and  noth- 
ing is  impossible. 

Alxmt  fifteen  years  ago  it  was  the  team  of  Block  and 
Dunlap  which  trod  up  and  down  the  vaudeville  boards. 
Jesse  Block  was  madly  in  love  with  his  partner,  Francine 
Dunlap.  She  was  tall,  blonde  and  languid.  He  surely 
thought  she'd  marry  him,  for  whenever  he  asked  her, 
which  was  often  enough,  she  would  look  at  him  out  x>i

her  limpid  blue  eyes  and  smile,  "Maybe."  And  Jesse's 
heart  would  skip  a  beat. 

Then  one  day  he  walked  into  his  dressing  room  and 
found  a  note.  You  guessed  it.  Francine  had  gone  off 
and  married  some  other  man.  Did  Jesse  take  it  hard? 
Why,  he  went  out  on  a  jag  for  a  whole  week  that  had 
his  friends  worried  stiff.  To  the  devil  with  the  act. 
To  the  devil  with  women.  To  the  devil  with  everything. 
Nice,  quiet  Jesse  Block  carrying  on  that  way  over  a 
woman ! 

His  agent,  William  Morris,  called  him  on  the  carpet. 
"See  here,"  he  said.  "You've  got  to  cut  this  out.  There 
are  plenty  of  other  women." 

Jesse  looked  as  sad  as  a  fish  out  of  water  for  a  week. 
"No,"  he  said  morosely.  "There's  no  other  woman  for  me." 

Morris  winked  at  his  secretary  and  she  oj>ened  the  door 
of  the  reception  room. 

"Well,  Jesse,"  Morris  told  (Continued  on  page  87)

ALEXANDER  WOOLLCOTT,  PRINCE  OF  SOPHISTICATES,  LOVES  TO  EA 
BE  LAZY  AND  PLAY  CROQUET— IF  HE  WINS 


By  David  Ewen 


HERE  is  a  man  whose  life-long  ambition  has  been 
to  become  an  artist  in  the  art  of  living,  who  has 
always  felt  that  to  live  well  required  as  much 
latent  as  to  paint,  write  or  sing  well.  Therefore, 
he's  devoted  his  energies  towards  learning  how  to  mas- 
ter that  subtle  but  precious  art 


at  the  quirks  of  a  Fate.  He  is  an  epicure,  selecting  ; 
food  with  the  same  discrimination  that  he  selects 
friends.  Never  does  he  rush  and  is  always  compos , 
sedate  and  calm.  And  he  is  enormously  lazy.  He  wo  1 
rather  write  a  book  than  move  his  body  a  hundred  fi  • 
At  one  time — during  his  brief  career  as  actor — he  pi

cott,  the  Town  Crier,  who  comes  before  the  microphone 
with  his  bag  of  stories,  you  will  re- 
alize that  only  a  man  who  enjoys  liv- 
ing intensely  can  bring  so  much  zest 
and  enthusiasm  to  his  audience. 

Once  each  week  Alexander  Wooll- 
cott  spins  those  yarns  of  the  strange 
events  which  constitute  life,  those 
amazing  murder  stories  which  are 
half -fact  and  half- fancy,  those  tales 
of  people  with  peculiar  idiosyncrasies,  which  so  delight 
his  nation-wide  audience.  Woollcott  is  radio's  story- 
teller par  excellence.  Suave,  worldly-wise,  witty,  he  is 
the  typical  New  Yorker  (if  there  is  such  a  thing)  deriv- 
ing a  peculiar  satisfaction  out  of  merely  being  alive  and 
being  able  to  see,  hear — and  tell ! 

Woollcott  himself  has  the  corpulent  appearance  of  a 
man  who  enjoys  everything.  A  chubby  face  with  the 
slightest  suggestion  of  a  moustache  is  always  smiling

THAT  FAMOUS 
BEDSIDE  BROADCAST 


THE  SHOW  MUST  go  on! 

That's  the  grand  tradition  of  the  theatre  which 
radio  has  also  chosen  to  accept  as  its  own. 

Everyone  knows  about  the  courage  and  stamina 
of  actors  and  entertainers  who  have  gone  on  with 
the  show  despite  sickness  or  great 
anguish.  Nothing  keeps  them  off. 

Remember  the  night  Ben  Bernie 
went  on  the  air  though  he  had  just 
learned  that  his  mother  had  died? 
There  was  a  heartbreak  in  "It's 
a  Lonesome  Old  Town"  that 
evening,  yet  very  few  knew  why. 

Then  there  was  Ritchie  Craig, 
who  declined  to  pose  for  a  drawing  for  the  cover 
of  a  weekly  magazine  because  he  Teh  that  by  the 
date  of  publication  he  would  be  dead.   But  he  went 
bravely  on  with  his  theatrical  engagement 

When  Carlton  Coon  died,  Joe  Sanders  got  up 
from  the  piano  and  took  his  partner's  baton,  carry- 
ing blithely  on  with  the  merrymaking  at  the  College 
Inn  in  Chicago. 

You've  all  heard  stories  in  similar  vein,  lots  of 
them. 

But  how  about  the  leading  lady  having  a  baby 
without  stopping  the  show?  Helen  Hayes  walked 
out  of  "Coquette"  seven  months  before  her  "act  of 


ames

God"  baby  was  born,  causing  Jed  Harris,  the  pro- 
ducer, to  burn  up  the  wires  from  London  to  Los 
Angeles  in  protest.  It  did  no  good.  The  show 
folded  up,  Miss  Hayes  went  into  retirement  and  had 
her  baby.  And  an  ancient  precept  of  the  theatre 
was  shattered. 

Ah,  but  in  radio  it's  different. 
The  leading  lady  has  her  baby — 
and  never  misses  a  broadcast. 

Gasp,  as  you  must,  mothers 
who  have  traveled  the  valley  of  the 
shadow  to  bring  forth  another 
life.   Such  a  thing  could  never  be. 
i  Ridiculous !    Preposterous !  Im- 
possible, you  say.   Even  if  a  woman  wanted  to  try 
such  a  stunt,  well,  her  physician,  her  husband,  her 
family  wouldn't  let  her. 

But  it  did  happen  in  Chicago  the  other  day.  Max- 
ine  Garner  set  this  unbelievable  precedent  a  scant 
sixteen  hours  after  her  baby  was  born.  The  Co- 
lumbia Broadcasting  System  moved  in  part  to  her 
bedside  at  Wesley  Hospital  and  her  radio  sketch  went 
on  the  air  the  day  after  the  child  was  born.  And 
with  no  ill  effects  to  the  mother,  thank  you. 

A  modern  miracle,  we  say,  if  there  ever  was  one. 
Marriage  and  a  career  so  deftly  woven  that  not  even 
motherhood,  the  greatest  (Continued  on  page  82)

•  The  usual  winter  shakeup  of  bands  is  in  progress. 
Some  have  already  changed,  others  will.  Here's  the

Whiteman  will  be  on  tour,  with  Jack  Denny  replacing 
him  at  the  Biltmore.  Harry  Salter  will  be  out  of  the 
Park  Central  and  Scott  Fisher  will  be  playing  there.  Don 
Bestor  will  not  be  in  a  Broadway  spot  as  previously 
announced.  Williard  Robison  will  be  out  of  the  St. 
Moritz  Hotel.  Guy  Lombardo  will  continue  his  tour  of 
the  states  in  the  interest  of  Standard  Oil  at  $15,000  per 
week.  Henry  King  will  be  in  the  Waldorf  Astoria  Hotel. 
Hal  Kemp  will  continue  at  the  Hotel  Pennsylvania.  Will 
Osborne  will  remain  at  the  Paradise.  Ozzie  Nelson  stays 
at  the  New  Yorker.  Rudy  Vallee  will  be  in  his  second 
season  at  the  Hollywood  Restaurant.  Other  bands  stay- 
ing in  their  spots  are :  Little  Jack  Little  at  the  Lexington ; 
Eddie  Duchin  at  the  Central  Park  Casino;  Felix  Ferdi- 
nando  at  the  Montclair  and  Freddie  Martin  at  the  St. 
Regis.

IN 

FORTUNE- 
TELLERS 


By  Peggy  Wells 


D 


O  YOU  believe  in  fortune-tellers?  Grcte  Stueck- 
gold does.  She  has  never  gone  to  one.  hut  years 
ago  one  was  brought  to  her  under  strange  cir- 
cumstances and  what  followed  was  stranger  still. 
Madame  Stucckgold,  whom  you've  heard  'on  the 
Chesterfield  program,  sings  the  great  lyric  soprano  roles 
at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  in  New  York  and  looks  as 
though  she  were  the  person  the  composers  (who  must  get 
quite  dizzy  turning  in  their  graves  when  some  of  their 
operas  are  being  produced )  had  in  mind  when  they  wrote 
parts  like  Elsa  in  Lohengrin  and  Marguerite  in  Faust. 
She  is  blonde  and  stately  and  beautiful.  She  is  at  the 
top  of  the  most  exciting,  glamorous  career  there  is  for  a 
woman  and  for  five  years  she  has  had  a  completely  happy, 
successful  marriage. 

"And  nine  years  ago  in  Munich,"  she  says  in  a  rather 
solemn  voice,  "it  was  all  foretold  to  me." 

When  nine  years  ago  she  went  to  visit  friends  in 
Munich,  Grete  Stueckgold  was  married  to  her  first  hus- 
band and  though  she  was  well  known  as  a  concert  artist 
she  had  never  sung  in  opera.  Perhaps  just  then  she  had 
reached  the  point  we  all  get  to  sometimes  when  we  feel 
restless  and  uncertain.  We're  sure  our  lives,  instead  of 
going  along  quietly,  are  going  to  take  a  sudden  turn  and 
we'd  give  a  good  deal  to  know  in  what  direction.  At  any 
rate  when  one  evening  her  friends  began  to  talk  about  a 
fortune-teller  who  was  getting  to  be  rather  famous  in  the 
little  German  city,  she  listened  with  a  good  deal  of  interest. 
One  girl,  it  turned  out,  had  actually  gone  to  see  the 
woman.  Everyone  was  amused  and  curious. 

"What's  she  like?"  they  wanted  to  know.  "Is  it  true 
she's  a  Tziganne— a  Hungarian  gypsy?  Did  you  ask  her 
whether  she  was'  the  seventh,  daughter  of  \a  seventh 
daughter." 

"I  don't  know,"  the  girl  said  gravely.  "I  didn't  ask 
many  questions,  but  if  you  could  see  her  you  wouldn't 
laugh.  There's  something  about  her — she  has  eyes  that 
aren't  like  anybody  else's.  They  look  through  you.  And 
every  single  thing  she  told  me  was  true." 

Of  course  in  the  group  there  were  unbelievers,  people

who  knew  just  how  it's  done  and  would  be  glad  to  tell  you, 
but  even  to  them  the  girl's  seriousness  was  impressive. 
Suddenly  somebody  had  a  brilliant  idea.  They  would 
bring  the  fortune-teller  to  see  Grete  Stueckgold. 

"You're  not  from  Munich,"  they  said,  "so  she  won't 
have  any  way  of  finding  out  about  you  beforehand,  if 
that's  what  she  actually  does.  We  won't  tell  her  your 
name  or  that  you're  a  singer.  We'll  find  out  that  way 
how  good  she  really  is.    Would  you  be  willing  to  do  it?" 

Grete  Stueckgold  smiled.  She  didn't  believe  in  that 
sort  of  thing,  of  course.  Old  women  studying  the  leaves 
in  teacups.  Girls  crowding  around  gypsy  lxx>ths  at  a 
fair.  "You  will  get  a  letter  from  far  away.  Beware  of 
a  tall,  dark  man.  There  is  a  blonde  woman  who  will  bring 
you  bad  fortune."  She  didn't  believe,  but  deep  down 
within  her  something  stirred  as  it  does  in  all  of  us. 

"Yes,"  she  said.    "I'll  do  it.    It  will  be  rather  fun." 

By  the  next  day  she  was  sure  it  was  nonsense.  She 
was  almost  ready  to  call  the  whole  thing  off,  but  the  ap- 
pointment had  been  made,  her  friends  were  all  interested 
and  she  was — well,  a  little  curious.  When  the  woman 
came  that  afternoon  her  appearance  was  at  first  disappoint- 
ing. Whether  or  not  she  had  Tziganne  blood,  she  wore  no 
rag-tag  gypsy  costume.  She  was  a  plain,  decent  woman, 
plainly  and  decently  dressed.  You  might  pass  a  hundred 
like  her  on  the  street  and  not  notice  one  of  them,  or 
so  you  thought,  until  she  looked  at  you.  Her  strange, 
searching  gaze  was  turned  on  this  beautiful  young  woman 
whom  she  had  never  seen  before,  whose  name  she  had 
not  been  told. 

"Good  afternoon,  Madame  Stueckgold,"  she  said  as 
though  they  had  just  been  introduced.  "I'm  sorry  I  have 
never  heard  you  sing." 

Then  in  a  quiet  voice,  her  piercing  gaze  still  fixed  on 
Grete  Stueckgold 's  face  she  began  to  tell  things  that  had 
already  happened  in  the  singer's  life.  Of  her  early  child- 
hood in  London  where  she  was  born.  Of  her  life  in 
Bremen  where,  when  still  very  small,  she  was  taken  by 
her  German  father  and  English  mother.  Of  her  musical 
career  and  of  events  she  herself  (Continued  on  page  90)

I  DON'T 


THREE  TIMES  FATE  FLUNG  MARK 
WARNOW  ASIDE,  QUELLING  ALL 
DESIRE  FOR  SUCCESS 


SUCCESS  is  a  priceless  satisfaction  that  few  of 
us  ever  achieve.   We  strive  for  it  and  sometimes 
even  die  for  it.   Often  we  come  within  a  teasing 
grasp,   then   suddenly   lose   our    footing,  and 
crash  to  earth. 

When  Mark  Warnow,  brilliant  conductor  of  Admiral 
Byrd's  program  and  the  "Forty-five  Minutes  in  Holly- 
wood" show,  told  me  his  cruel,  little  story,  I  began  to 
understand  his  bitterness  and  the  flaunting  last  words  he 
defiantly  shouted :  "I  don't  want  to  get  ahead  !"• 

"I've  learned  my  lesson,"  he  assured  me.  "I've  seen 
too  much.  My  life  has  been  like  a  bad  dream  and  now 
I've  just  awakened.  My  wife  and  children  are  satisfied  to 
have  three  square  meals  a  day  and  a  roof  over  their  heads." 

It  was  all  like  an  epilogue  to  a  stirring  drama  of  despair 
and  disappointment.  Let  Eugene  O'Neill  and  Elmer  Rice 
concoct  their  fictitious  tragedies.  I'll  stick  to  facts  and 
the  true  story  of  Mark  Warnow. 

Three  times  he  lunged  for  success.  Only  a  miracle 
could  have  blocked  his  determined  steps.  Yet,  three  times 
he  missed  like  a  batter  in  baseball  who  is  up  at  the  plate 
with  the  bases  full. 

Unless  the  Universal  Umpire  shuts  his  eyes  and  lets 
the  last  pitch  pass  unnoticed,  three  strikes  is  out.  Mark 
Warnow  got  that  chance  and  cracked  the  next  pitch  Fate 
delivered  for  a  home  run.  But  he  really  didn't  want  it. 
He  would  have  been  content  to  keep  his  bat  on  his  shoulder 
and  return  sullenly  to  the  bench — a  failure. 

But  it's  time  the  drama  begins.  The  curtain  is  going 
up.  I  promise  you  tragedy,  comedy,  and  a  happy  ending. 
The  cast?  A  little  Russian  immigrant.  ...  A  lot  of 
Broadway  villains.  .  .  .  An  understanding  wife.  .  .  .  Fate. 
.  .  .  Lights!  Music!  Places! 

STRIKE  ONE:  The  time:  Seven  years  ago.  The 
place :  The  Paramount  Theatre,  New  York. 

Mark  was  first  violinist  in  this  gold-tinted  creation  of 
the  cinema.  Week  after  week  he  fiddled  under  the  baton 
of  a  dozen  different  directors.  Some  were  good,  some 
were  bad.  They  gave  Mark  ideas,  meteoric  ideas.  Why 
couldn't  he  lead  this  orchestra?  Hadn't  he  studied  for 
years.  He  was  learning  music  when  most  of  these  men 
were  being  taught  the  alphabet.  Home  in  his  cramped 
apartment  his  wife  was  awaiting  the  birth  of  their  second 
child.  It  was  time  for  this  inspired  young  Russian  to  do 
something  about  the  future. 

In  the  back  of  his  mind  was  the  burning,  timeless 
preaching  of  his  father.  America,  the  old  man  had  said, 
was  rich,  a  land  of  opportunity.  Russia  was  no  place  for 
genius.  So  when  Mark  was  six  years  old,  his  parents  took 
him  to  the  great  country  where  "gold  was  in  the  gutters." 
They  came  over  in  steerage — sleeping,  eating  and  suffering 
ten  days  in  the  bowels  of  a  great  ocean  liner.   Above  their 

48 


heads  was  success.  Mark  knew  that  all  he  had  to  do  wa' 
get  up  those  winding  stairs  to  the  upper  decks  to  find  it. 

When  the  ship  landed,  the  immigrants  found  no  money- 
littered  streets.  Here,  too,  it  was  a  grim  fight  for  exist- 
ence. But  no  Cossacks  cracked  heavy  whips  across  blood- 
streamed  backs.  Young  Mark  was  confident.  He  had  no 
trade  but  he  had  a  shiny  violin. 

From  town  to  town  he  journeyed,  playing  his  beloved 
instrument.  Long  trousers  were  a  novelty  to  this  boy 
who  grew  old  too  fast.  At  last  he  got  a  job  in  New  York. 
All  around  him  was  success.  Beautiful  women  reflecting 
their  expensive  faces  on  a  white  sheet  above  his  head  in 
the  theatre.    Eager,  talented  youths,  such  as  he,  perform-

ing  on  the  other  side  of  the  footlights  were  receiving 
thousands  a  week.  All  this  rekindled  his  suppressed  flame 
of  desire  for  fame. 

Then,  like  a  bolt  from  the  blue,  opportunity  came.  We 
meet  the  star  of  our  play — Fate — for  the  first  time.  The 
conductor  took  sick.  There  was  no  time  to  engage  an- 
other. Desperately  the  manager  handed  the  baton  to 
Mark. 

Chalk-white  Mark  gripped  the  flimsy  stick.  A  twist  of 
his  wrist  and  fifty  men  played  as  one.  A  feeling  of  cosmic 
power  electrified  his  pudgy  body.  Color  came  back  to  his 
chubby  face.  His  head  reeled.  He  thought  of  his  wife. 
Would  it  be  a  boy  or  a  girl,  a  girl  or  a  boy  .  .  .  how  that

band  played  !  This  was  success  !  Mark 
drank  it  like  a  thirsty  traveler  from 
the  desert. 

"So  you  want  to  be  the  maestro, 
eh  ?"  retorted  the  gruff  manager  when 
Mark  asked  for  recognition  after  his 
fine  work.  Slowly  the  enthusiasm 
slipped  out  of  Mark's  body. 

"Give  you  foreigners  the  slightest 
encouragement  and  you  jump  like 
rabbits.  Well,  the  theatre  has  en- 
gaged an  experienced  man.  Now  get 
back  to  the  band  and  play.  We  don't 
want  any  over-ambitious  musicians 
around  here." 

Mark  went  back  hurt.  The  crack 
of  a  Cossack's  whip  never  cut  like 
this  wound  to  his  pride.  His  violin 
wailed  in  protest.  Several  times  the 
conductor  scowled  at  him.  Through- 
out the  dark  day,  the  violinist,  who 
sat  next  to  him,  tried  to  cover  Mark's 
terrible  music. 

That  week  he  was  fired.  He  didn't 
go  home.  He  walked  up  and  down 
Rroadway,  passing  glittering  theatres, 
jazz-filled  nightclubs  and  glowing 
passers-by.  His  ears  rang  with  the 
words :  "We  don't  want  any  over- 
ambitious  musicians  around  here." 

How  long  he  tramped  the  icy  pave- 
ment, God  knows.  He  got  home 
eventually.  There  was  notbing  to  do 
about  the  ache  in  his  heart.  Two 
reasons  prevented  him  from  telling 
his  wife — the  girl  he  saved  from  a 
tenement  fire  three  years  ago.  First, 
he  dared  not  burden  her  with  worries 
in  her  present  condition.  And  secondly,  if  her  family 
found  out  he  would  never  hear  the  end  of  it.  They  had 
always  told  him  musicians  never  amounted  to  much. 
Before  his  marriage  they  tried  to  poison  his  wife's  mind 
with  dour  tales  about  starvation  and  unhappiness  if  she 
married  the  fiddler. 

He  was  convinced  that  he  was  worthless.  Why  hadn't 
he  studied  to  be  a  lawyer,  doctor,  or  dentist  as  most  Jewish 
boys  had  done?  For  two_ weeks  he  searched  for  work. 
There  was  none  to  be  found.  Musicians  were  as  plentiful 
as  radio  crooners  singing  "True."  Of  course,  be  could 
appeal  to  his  wife's  relations  to  give  him  a  job,  for  they 
were  large  dress  manufacturers  (Continued  on  page  85)

REETINGS  friends  and  Radio 
Fans : 

The  other  night  I  heard 
an  announcer  describe  our 
Cooking  School  Guest  Star  of  this 
month  as  "Jane  Froman  of  the 
lovely  voice  and  lovely  face"  to  which 
I  would  have  added,  "and  lovely 
manner,  too."  For  a  more  gracious 
person  I  have  never  met  than  the 
sweet  singing  star  of  the  Pontiac 
program.  And  when  I  discovered 
that  she  could  even  be  gracious  be- 
fore her  matutinal  coffee,  that 
was  indeed  something  to 
marvel  over. 

The  only  time  Jane  Fro- 
man could  give  me  for  our 
interview  was  at  ten-thirty  in 
the  morning.  Because  of  the 
irregular  hours  radio  per- 
formers are  forced  to  ob- 
serve, I  had  expected  to  find 
her  at  that  hour  in  a  trailing 
negligee  looking  languid, 
sleepy  and  cross !  But  not 
Jane — who  came  to  the  door 
in  a  business-like  little  dress 
made  gay  with  touches  of 
white  trimming  at  the  neck,  her  eyes 
and  teeth  sparkling  in  her  bright  elfin 
face. 

"You're  just  in  time  to  have  a  cup 
of  coffee  with  Donald  and  me,"  she 
informed  me  at  once,  leading  the  way 
to  the  well  appointed  dining  room 


both 


where  I  was  introduced  to  Don- 
ald Ross,  her  likeable  young 
husband  who  also  is  a  radio 
singer  as  you  doubtless  know, 
"Is  this  breakfast  or  lunch 
that  I  am  so  rudely  interrupt- 
ing?" I  inquired,  surveying  the 
array  of  foods,  plates  and  cut- 
lery on  the  table. 

"Both,"  Jane  Froman  replied, 
laughing,  "this  is  Brunch,"  she 
went   on,   "a   combination  of 
lunch  and  breakfast,  re- 
taining  the   best  fea- 
tures   of    each    of  them." 

"Jane  must  have  learned 
that  word  just  recently  for 
it's  a  new  one  on  me,"  Don- 
ald Ross  assured  me.  "How- 
ever this  combination  meal 
is  a  family  institution  no  mat- 
ter what  name  you  apply  to 
it.  Later  on  in  the  day  we're 
both  busy  and  our  appoint- 
ments for  rehearsals  and 
broadcasts  have  a  way  of  con- 
flicting with  other  regular 
meal  hours.  But  we  always 
have  this  meal  together — and 
at  our  leisure." 

"That  is  if  there  are  no  inter- 
ruptions," I  remarked,  half  apologet- 
ically. 

"You're  not  an  interruption,  you're 
a  guest.  Have  some  orange  juice?" 
replied  Jane,  hospitably. 


"No  thanks,  I've  had  the 
breakfast  part  of  your  meal 
long  since,"  I  demurred. 

"Then  have  omelette  and 
biscuits,"  insisted  the  man  of 
the  family,  drawing  up  an 
extra  chair  for  me.  And  with 
my  ready  acceptance  started 
one  of  the  gayest,  merriest 
and  most  delightful  meals  ever. 
We  ate  biscuits  that  were  filled 
\l  with  crunchy  bits  of  bacon  and 
had  huge  servings  of  the  tast- 
iest of  souffles  while  we  drank 
cup  after  cup  of  coffee  and  discussed 
radio,  singing  and  countless  other 
things.  In  this  way  I  had  a  chance 
to  learn  that  Jane  comes  from-  Mis- 
souri where  she  learned  to  like  large 
breakfasts  because  of  the  hot  biscuits, 
country  ham  and  bacon,  honey  and 
thick,  thick  cream  she  had  at  home 
as  a  child.  Another  childhood  mem- 
ory is  that  of  starting  singing  lessons 
at  the  age  of  five — a  study  Miss  Fro- 
man has  assiduously  pursued  ever 
since,  with  delightful  results  as  her 
radio  listeners  can  attest. 

"I  studied  for  the  concert  stage 
and  now  I  sing  heigh-de-ho !"  said 
Jane  with  a  grin.  "But  1  give  each 
song  everything  I  have  in  me  for  I 
feel  that  years  of  study  can  he  ap- 
parent in  the  rendition  of  the  so- 
called  'popular'  songs  too."

How  Science  discovered  New  Powder  Shades 

An  optical  machine,  which  reads  the  skin,  color- 
analyzed  the  complexions  of  over  200  girls.  Thcu  it 
was  discovered  that  the  clear,  pearly  blonde  skin 
held  a  tint  of  bright  blue — the  brunette  had  a 
note  of  brilliant  green.  These  same  beautifying 
tints,  hidden  in  human  skin.  Pond's  blends  in- 
visibly into  their  new  powder  shades. 

Only  55<5  for  a  glass  jar  that  contains  as

ARE  all  rich  men's  sons  bums? 
Now  wait — that  statement  isn't 
as  startling  as  it  may  sound. 
Look  around  at  any  of  the 
wealthy  boys  you  know.  Either  they 
squander  money  like  a  sailor  on  shore 
leave,  or  if  they  work  at  all  I'll  wager 
it's  in  a  pretentious  office  in  dad's 
place  with  a  high-sounding  title  and 
a  pretty  secretary.  I'll  admit  that 
some  of  them  even  make  good  at  their 
respective  jobs.  But  how  many  have 
the  courage  to  reject  the  family  ad-

That's  what  I  thought,  too,  until  I  heard 
the  story  about  Ray  Heatherton. 

You  see,  Ray  was  a  rich  man's  son. 
You  know  the  type.  Irresponsible,  happy- 
go-lucky  and  just  a  bit  spoiled.  But  four 
times  in  his  carefree  life  he  was  faced 
with  momentous  decisions  .  .  .  four  times 
he  was  at  crossroads  with  himself.  And 
because  of  the  decisions  he  did  make, 
today  Ray  is  one  of  NBC's  most  popular 
young  baritones.  He  got  there  in  spite 
of  his  money.  When  you  learn  his  story, 
you'll  understand  what  I  mean. 

Life  was  just  one  gay  round  of  fun  and 
parties  to  Ray.  He  lived  in  a  big,  ram- 
bling house  in  Floral  Park,  L'ong  Island, 
and  he  tore  around  with  the  young  Long 
Island  crowd. 

I  marvel  every  time  I  realize  that  Ray 
had  the  nerve  to  think  for  himself  instead 
of  falling  in  line  with  the  rest  of  his 
friends  who  merely  stepped  into  soft  jobs 
in  their  fathers'  establishments.  It  would 
have  been  so  easy.  His  father  already 
had  a  place  for  Ray  in  his  prosperous 
building  business.  But  since  the  first  time 
Ray  had  sung  in  the  Floral  Park  Choir, 
he  knew  where  his  future  lay. 

"A  singer?  What  a  silly  idea,"  scoffed 
his  parents.  They  tore  his  dream  apart 
with  the  calloused  fingers  of  scorn  and 
ridicule.  On  and  on  went  discussions  and 
arguments  every  night. 

Never  had  Ray  had  to  fight  for  anything 
in  his  life.  Since  he  was  a  baby,  he  had 
merely  to  ask  or  cry  for  a  toy  and  it  was 
deposited  right  in  his  lap.  That's  how  it 
had  always  been.  But  if  he  were  to  con- 
tinue in  his  crazy  idea  to  become  a  singer, 
he  would  have  to  battle  for  it  by  himself. 

That  was  the  first  important  decision 
Ray  had  to  make  in  his  pampered  life. 
Don't  think  it  was  an  easy  one.  Try  to 
put  yourself  in  his  place.  What  would  you 
do?  That  he  chose  the  harder  road— the 
one  that  led  to  a  career  he  would  have  to 
pioneer  by  himself — is  one  fact  that  al- 
most knocked  my  harsh  ideas  about  rich 
men's  sons  right  into  a  cocked  hat.  I 
wonder  how  many  of  those  sons  would 
have  had  the  nerve  to  go  ahead  with  their 
plans  in  spite  of  the  powerful  persuasions 
of  their  parents? 

He  hung  around  Floral  Park  theatres 
and  the  lesser  radio  stations  until  he  got 
small  jobs  here  and  there.  Then  came  the 
Paul  Whiteman  auditions.  Remember  the 
time  Paul  was  holding  these  auditions  in 
towns  all  over  the  country?  Well,  there 
was  a  storm  in  the  Heatherton  household 
when  Ray  announced  that  he  was  enter- 
ing it. 

"This  is  going  too  far,"  said  Heatherton 
Senior.  There  were  words  on  both  sides, 
but  in  the  end  Ray  won  his  point.  He 
could  enter  the  auditions,  but  if  he  failed 
— no  more  foolish  ideas  about  becoming 
a  singer. 

Those  were  high  stakes  to  Ray.  As  he 
sat  in  the  audition  room  waiting  his  turn, 
he  looked  around  at  the  other  anxious- 
eyed,  frightened  kids  there.  What  a 
peculiar  setup!  All  these  others  had  to 
win  because  they  needed  the  money.  He 
didn't  need  the  money,  but  he  had  to  win 


to  trample  down  the  big  objections  to  his 
career. 

You  can  imagine  the  nervous  strain  of 
going  through  any  audition.  All  of  his 
hopes,  all  of  his  ambitions  he  put  into  the 
song.  There  was  a  plaintive  fervor  and 
determined  ring  to  his  voice.  That  in- 
tensity must  have  made  a  hit  with  the 
judges,  for — you  guessed  it — he  won. 

His  parents  stood  by  their  word.  Now 
they  were  firmly  in  back  of  him,  with  all 
of  their  worldly  resources  to  make  things 
smooth.  Ray  blithely  stepped  into  a  few 
small  jobs  at  WABC.  With  all  of  the 
obstacles  out  of  his  way,  his  old  carefree 
spirit  returned.  He  thought  that  now  he 
would  soar  to  the  top  in  one  swift  swoop. 
He  didn't  know  that  careers  aren't  made 
so  easily.  How  could  he?  So  far,  he 
had  uprooted  every  snag.  His  old  self- 
indulgent,  cocky  mannerisms  returned. 
Once  again  he  was  Ray  Heatherton,  the 
rich  man's  son. 

Life  was  sweet  and  rosy  to  Ray  now. 
He  was  riding  on  the  crest  of  a  wave — 
and  heading  straight  for  a  fall. 

He  was  a  gay  spender  and  a  good  sport, 
you  know,  the  fellow  who  always  picked 
up  the  checks  in  the  restaurant.  He  was 
constantly  surrounded  by  hangers-on  who 
told  him  what  a  grand  guy  he  was.  What 
he  didn't  hear  were  the  comments  of  the 
older,  radio-wise  folks  who  were  saying, 
"Ray  Heatherton  could  be  an  excellent 
singer,  but  he  has  had  things  too  easy. 
His  voice  lacks  character.  He  must  suffer 
and  struggle  and  live  to  give  it  a  mature, 
dramatic  strength." 

Those  folks,  I  guess,  were  right.  Before 
he  realized  it,  Ray  found  that  his  programs 
had  dwindled  away  to  nothing  at  all.  It 
seems  strange,  doesn't  it,  to  think  that 
every  time  Ray  was  under  the  influence  of 
money  it  proved  to  be  a  drawback  to  him' 

He  rushed  home  to  seek  the  advice  and 
comfort  of  his  family,  but  the  scene  that 
confronted  him  stopped  him  short.  His 
father  looked  pale  and  drawn,  his  mother 
had  a  false  cheerfulness. 

Then  he  learned  the  whole  wretched 
fact.  His  father's  real  estate  and  building 
investments  to  which  he  had  clung  during 
all  those  tumultuous  years  were  suddenly 
wiped  out.  His  white  face  told  more  than 
words  what  this  disaster  had  done  to  him. 

"You'll  have  to  be  the  man  of  the 
family  now,  son,"  he  told  Ray. 

Now,  Ray  Heatherton  was  a  poor  boy ! 
How  would  he  take  it?  How  would  most 
rich  men's  sons  act?  Bewildered?  Arro- 
gant? Bitter?  Blustering? 

Ray  looked  for  a  job.  He  stormed  the 
radio  portals  just  like  any  fervent  new- 
comer. But  his  luck  had  deserted  him,  just 
when  he  needed  it  most.  Even  the  audi- 
tion doors  were  closed  to  him.  He  knew 
now  that  if  he  were  to  have  another 
chance,  he'd  hold  on  to  a  job.  But  nobody 
was  willing  to  give  it  to  him. 

Every  night  when  he  returned  home 
weary  and  heartsick  from  a  discouraging 
day,  he  would  summon  a  forced  smile  for 
the  benefit  of  the  family.  One  day  he 
bumped  into  the  family  doctor  coming  out

of  the  house.  Ray  hurried  in.  His  father 
was  in  bed,  seriously  ill.  Heart  trouble. 

More  than  ever  Ray  felt  the  heavy 
responsibility  that  was  suddenly  thrust 
upon  him.  -His  shoulders  which  were  un- 
accustomed to  bear  anything  heavier  than 
the  hand  of  a  dancing  partner  now  sup- 
ported a  household  of  a  mother,  father  and 
younger  sister.  It  changed  him.  He  be- 
came a  more  serious,  a  more  manly 
Heatherton.  His  friends  hardly  recog- 
nized him.  No  more  parties.  No  more  fun. 
He  passed  endless  hours  in  the  studios 
waiting  for  the  promise  of  an  audition.  But 
he  never  got  beyond  the  promise  stage. 

He  got  tired  of  waiting.  Something  in- 
side of  him  rebelled.  A  certain  vague 
plan  was  formulating  inside  of  his  mind. 
It  was  a  bold  scheme,  and  it  might  get 
him  the  audition.  But  he  would  have  to 
drag  his  pride  in  the  dust  behind  him.  He 
was  desperate,  don't  forget,  and  despera- 
tion is  no  respector  of  pride.  In  the  end 
he  decided  upon  the  deliberate  move. 

Unannounced  he  walked  into  a  studio 
where  James  Melton  was  rehearsing.  Face 
to  face  with  the  great  tenor  he  told  him 
his  whole  disappointing  fight  for  another 
chance. 

"I  can't  afford  to  wait,  you  see.  That's 
why  I  came  to  you.  As  soon  as  I  get  the 
audition  I  know  I'll  have  a  good  chance  of 
getting  a  job.  And  I  need  the  job  now !" 

Ray  was  surprised  at  his  own  audacity. 
A  few  months  ago  he  would  never  have 
dreamed  of  doing  this. 

I  imagine  Melton  must  have  seen  the 
sincerity  and  desperation  in  Ray's  frank 
eyes.  Jimmy's  a  good  judge  of  character 
and  he  must  have  liked  the  way  this 
youngster  before  him  held  up  his  chin 
under  the  load  of  his  new-found  troubles. 

Melton  took  him  to  the  audition  director 
and  when  Ray  left  he  was  as  happy  as  his 
old  self  once  more.  He  was  to  report  for 
an  audition  the  following  Monday  eve- 
ning. 

Here  was  his  chance.  He  knew  only  too 
well  that  it  was  the  most  important  mo- 
ment in  his  life.  His  future,  the  future  of 
the  small  Heatherton  family  all  rested  on 
the  outcome  of  this  audition.  It  was  his 
last  hope. 

He  rushed  home,  happy,  to  tell  the  news. 
It  was  the  Saturday  before  the  audition. 
He  expected  to  find  them  enthused.  In- 
stead, he  found  death.  His  father  had 
breathed  his  last. 

Death  in  itself  is  tragic.  But  this  time 
it  added  to  the  tragedy  of  the  moment  by 
the  cruel  timing  of  its  stroke.  Sorrow  was 
heaped  upon  sorrow. 


from  fayc  56) 

Here  was  Ray,  his  heart  torn  with  grief, 
and  the  audition  coming  off  in  two  days. 
Could  he  keep  the  appointment  now?  Fur 
a  moment  he  felt  like  phoning  the  studio 
and  calling  it  off.  Then  he  saw  his  mother 
and  sister  silently  weeping.  In  that  fleet- 
ing instant  he  realized  that  all  decision! 
now  would  have  to  be  made  by  himself. 
He  was  the  head  of  the  family.  He  turned 
the  problem  over  in  his  harassed  brain. 
It  boiled  down  to  one  thing.  What  good 
would  an  emotional  display  such  as  that 
do  these  two  who  were  depending  on  him? 
He  made  up  his  mind. 

Monday  evening  he  was  in  the  studios 
waiting  his  turn.  His  eyes  were  glassy 
with  unshed  tears,  his  lips  trembled  with 
emotion  and  he  clasped  and  unclasped  his 
hands  feverishly.  That  afternoon  he  had 
seen  his  father  buried.  He  had  just  come 
from  a  scene  that  was  filled  with  the  wails 
and  tears  of  his  mother  and  sister.  And 
now  he  was  supposed  to  be  calm  and 
steady.   He  bit  his  lips. 

For  some  unexplainable  reason,  he  was 
the  last  to  be  called.  As  he  sat  on  the 
hard  bench,  waiting,  he  had  too  much 
time  to  think.  It  was  near  midnight  when 
he  was  called  in,  and  his  nerves  had  al- 
most reached  the  breaking  point. 

The  atmosphere  of  the  studio  at  that 
hour  of  the  night  was  eerie  and  silent  as 
Ray  took  his  place  at  the  mike.  He 
pulled  himself  together  and  started  his  first 
number,  "The  Trumpeter.-'  It  was  his 
father's  favorite  song.  A  flood  of  mem- 
ories engulfed  him  as  he  poured  all  of  his 
pent-up  suffering  into  that  melody.  Kay 
Heatherton  sang  that  night  as  he  never 
sung  before.  His  voice  was  richer,  warmer, 
more  understanding.  The  executives  lis- 
tening in  were  thrilled  and  astounded. 
They  couldn't  believe  that  those  mature, 
vibrant  notes  were  coming  from  the  | 
young,  collegiate  chap  standing  all  alone  | 
in  the  bare  room. 

They  had  him  sing  again  and  again  just 
to  make  sure  it  was  no  mistake.  Scarcely 
did  he  hear  what  the  program  director  said 
to  him  when  he  left,  for  his  mind  was  al- 
most numb. 

He  was  still  confused  when  the  director 
phoned  him  early  the  next  morning.  As 
though  it  were  all  a  dream  he  heard  the 
fellow  tell  him  that  he  was  being  placed 
on  a  sustaining  program  of  his  own  to 
begin  that  very  week ! 

Are  rich  men's  sons  bums?  Well,  I'rr 
right  back  to  where  I  started.  I'm  not  at- 
tempting to  answer  this  question.  I  just 
told  you  the  story  of  one  rich  man's  son. 
Now,  what  do  you  think?

rival  of  another  plate  of  biscuits  at  that 
point  brought  the  conversation  back  to  the 
subject  of  food  and  I  made  it  my  business 
to  learn  from  Jane  some  of  her  food 
preferences  and  culinary  accomplishments. 

I  don't  mean  to  suggest  for  a  minute 
that  Jane  Froman  is  a  splendid  all  'round 
cook.  No,  she  has  neither  time  nor  energy 
for  that.  Hut  she  prides  herself  on  a  few 
dishes  which  find  their  way  to  the  morn- 
ing "Brunch"  table — simple  dishes,  really, 
but  noteworthy  for  their  excellence  as  I 
discovered  for  myself  by  partaking  of  the 
egg  dish  and  biscuits  served  the  morning 
1  called.  Then,  too,  Donald  Ross  recom- 
mended other  Froman  specialties  quite  as 
highly  as  those  we  sampled  that  day. 
However,  I  was  suspicious  that  his  opin- 
ion was  a  prejudiced  one  so  I  tried  out 
the  other  recipes  I  secured  from  Jane  in 
my  own  test  kitchen  and  found  them  to 
be  entirely  worthy  of  Mr.  Ross'  hearty 
praises.  Thanks  to  that  delightful  meal, 
therefore,  I  am  able  to  promise  you  four 
recipes  that  I'm  sure  you'll  love  having : 
Bacon  Biscuits,  Ham  Souffle,  Popovers 
and  Waffle  Iron  Omelette.  These  may 
be  served  for  an  11  a.  m.  Brunch  as  Jane 
Froman  serves  them  and  they  are  delicious 
for  other  meals  as  well. 

The  Bacon  Biscuits  (a  Missouri  spe- 
cialty. I  learned)  make  a  splendid  lunch- 
eon hot  bread,  for  instance,  while  the 
Popovers  will  be  welcomed  at  any  time 
because  of  their  crispy  goodness. 

The  Ham  Souffle  has  a  wonderful  tex- 
ture and  stands  up  after  leaving  the  oven 
■ — quite  an  accomplishment  for  any  souffle 
you  will  admit.  It  makes  an  ideal  Sunday 
supper  treat,  as  well  as  a  filling  dish  for 
the  meal  for  which  it  was  originally  in- 
tended. 

The  Waffle  Iron  Omelette  is  a  new 
idea  and  provides  a  novel  use  for  your 
electric  waffle  iron.  This  omelette  is  the 
most  versatile  of  all  Jane  Froman's  pet 
recipes.  It  can  be  served  for  breakfast 
or  Brunch  with  jelly,  jam  or  creamed 
chipped  beef ;  it  is  perfect  for  lunch  or 
supper  with  a  cheese  sauce  and  it  can 
even  appear  at  the  dinner  table  accom- 
panied by  a  generous  bowl  of  creamed 
chicken,  ham  or  fish.  (Shrimps  are  an 
elegant  choice.) 

Recipes  for  all  these  marvelous  foods 
may  be  secured  simply  by  filling  out  the 
coupon  as  you  already  should  know.  If 
you  don't  know  about  these  wonderful 
free  recipes  sent  out  monthly  by  the  Radio 
Stars'  Cooking  School,  it's  high  time  you 
learned  about  them.  I  know  of  no  better 
time  to  send  in  for  your  booklet  than 
right  now,  at  once  and  immediately !  For 
Jane  Froman's  recipes  are  so  extremely 
simple  that  even  those  just  learning  to 
cook  will  be  able  to  follow  them,  while 
the  experienced  housewives  will  find  these 
new  egg  dishes  and  hot  breads  welcome 
additions  to  their  files.  Meanwhile  let's  go 
into  a  few  major  requirements  for  the 
first  meal  of  the  day,  whether  one  calls 
it  "breakfast"  or  "Brunch." 

Of  first  importance  to  my  way  of  think- 
ing is  a  good  cup  of  good  coffee.  Per- 


60 


haps  two  "goods"  in  one  sentence  may 
seem  unduly  emphatic  to  you,  but  I  know 
of  no  other  way  to  impress  upon  you  what 
I  consider  to  be  a  crying  need  for  buying 
a  reputable  brand  of  coffee  and  of  brew- 
ing it  carefully  and  correctly.  You  may 
not  share  my  enthusiasm  for  coffee  made 
by  the  drip  method  (I  use  this  coffee 
making  method  exclusively),  but  I  hope 
you  agree  with  me  that  only  a  perfect 
cup  of  coffee  should  be  tolerated  at  your 
table,  regardless  of  the  way  you  make  it. 

Another  breakfast  necessity  is  the  fruit 
course.  This  may  consist  of  raw  fruit, 
generally  in  the  form  of  orange  juice.  A 
growing  knowledge  of  the  true  value  of 
this  fruit  from  the  standpoint  of  health 
is  daily  adding  to  its  popularity.  You  may 
add  the  juice  of  half  a  lemon  for  novelty 
and  piquancy,  but  with  or  without  the 
lemon  always  serve  freshly  squeezed 
orange  juice  since  some  of  its  flavor  is 
lost  when  it  stands. 

At  this  season  of  the  year  stewed  fruits 
are  popular,  especially  prunes.  Here  too 
lemons  supply  a  distinct  improvement  to 
the  flavor.  Add  the  lemon  during  the 
cooking  in  the  form  of  very  thin  slices. 

Occasionally  serve  a  Cranberry  Juice 
Cocktail  for  the  fruit  course.  It  will  pro- 
vide a  welcome  change.  Here  is  a  simple 
recipe  for  this  beverage. 

CRANBERRY  JUICE  COCKTAIL 

4  cups  cranberries 

4  cups  boiling  water 

1  cup  sugar 
juice  of  y2  lemon 

Wash  and  carefully  pick  over  cranber- 
ries. Add  cranberries  to  boiling  water. 
Cook  until  all  pop  open  (about  5  minutes). 
Strain  through  cheese  cloth.  Bring  strained 
juice  to  a  boil,  add  sugar  and  boil  2  min- 
utes. Remove  from  heat,  add  lemon  juice. 
Chill  thoroughly.   Serve  very  cold. 

Sounds  good,  doesn't  it?  Well,  all  of 
the  recipes  in  this  month's  booklet  are 
just  as  good,  so  why  not  send  for  them?

Why  Frank  Munn 
Sings  to  a  Lost  Love 

{Continued  from  page  15) 

would  grin,  laughing  as  he  passed,  and 
even  the  boys  called  him  the  Ox  because 
he  was  so  big.  He  took  it  all  good-na- 
turedly, but  who  can  tell  what  resentment 
those  jibes  kindled  in  him.  So  Ellen,  with 
her  artful  flattery  and  her  sweetness,  was 
a  welcome  change.  At  first,  he  wasn't 
aware  of  her  as  a  girl  at  all,  and  when 
he  was,  it  was  too  late.  Love  for  which 
he  hadn't  planned  or  dreamed,  had  sneaked 
up  on  him. 

Never  did  he  ask  Ellen  who  her  other 
suitors  were  or  demand  that  she  go  only 
with  him.  How  could  he,  when  he  had 
nothing  to  offer?  Perhaps  he  should  have 
spoken  his  mind  and  heart  to  her.  But 
he  had  a  funny  code.  Call  it  honor  or 
foolishness  or  what  you  will,  but  he  had 
an  idea  of  what  was  right  and  he  stuck 
to  it. 

When  he  was  nineteen  his  father  died 
and  a  few  years  later  the  grandmother  he 
had  loved  and  worshipped.  Without  a 
blood  relation  in  the  world,  he  had  to  fight 
his  battles  alone.  There  were  times  when 
he  was  shabby  and  hungry,  when  he  knew 
the  pinch  of  poverty  and  the  bitter  heart- 
ache of  trudging  from  place  to  place 
begging  for  a  job  and  being  curtly  re- 
fused. All  this  time,  though  he  sang  in 
the  church  choir,  he  never  realized  that 
he  had  a  voice  which  one  day  would  lift 
him  far  above  shabbiness  and  poverty. 

|_J  E  had  seen  other  lives  wrecked  by  the 
'  '  shrewishness  and  the  nagging  that 
seemed  inevitable  in  those  marriages 
where  the  pennies  had  to  be  counted.  Even 
when  he  was  given  a  job  in  a  munitions 
factory,  building  turbine  engines  at 
twenty-seven  dollars  a  week,  pride  still 
sealed  his  lips,  for  other  men  were  mak- 
ing fabulous  salaries  in  industries  boosted 
by  the  War.  What  did  he  have  to  offer 
Ellen  that  she  did  not  already  have,  he 
asked  himself.  Never  did  he  realize  that 
there  were  things  other  than  a  comfort- 
able existence  that  a  man  could  give  to  a 
woman — the  joy  of  youthful  love  con- 
summated and  the  right  to  fight  side  by 
side  with  the  man  she  loves,  the  right  to 
help  him  build  his  castle  of  dreams. 

Then  came  the  end  of  the  War.  Flags 
were  waving  and  brass  bands  playing  and 
the  air  was  filled  with  cheers  for  the 
heroes  who  were  on  their  way  home  from 
the  War.  There  was  one  of  them  who 
gathered  Ellen  into  his  arms  and  spoke 
to  her  the  words  of  love  that  Frank  had 
been  too  timid  to  speak. 

When  Ellen  married  this  man.  Frank's 
world  toppled.  What  he  had  been  waiting 
or  hoping  for  he  hardly  knew  himself, 
but  in  his  blind  grief  it  must  have  seemed 
to  him  that  Ellen  had  failed  him.  So 
easily  do  men  deceive  themselves  about 
the  part  they  play  in  a  love  drama,  that 
he  said  to  me  once,  in  an  unguarded  mo- 
ment. "I  guess  she  was  carried  away  by 
his  uniform."  W  hat  in  the  name  of  all 
saints  did  he  expect  Ellen  to  do?  After 
all.  she  had  known  him  for  four  years,

EVEN  ON  tiptoes,  Betty  was  smaller 
than  the  smallest  playmate  of  her  own 
age.  While  other  youngsters  shot  up,  rilled 
out,  gained  in  height  and  weight — Betty 
remained  thin,  scrawny,  small  Tor  her  age 
— because  she  did  not  drink  enough  milk. 

But  you  ought  to  see  Betty  now!  How 
she  nas  added  i.iches  to  her  height — how 
strong,  sturdy,  well-proportioned  she  has 
become.  And  the  reason  is  that  Betty  is 
now  drinking  every  day,  a  quart  of  milk 
mixed  uith  Cocomalt. 

Milk  is  the  almost  perfect  food  for  chil- 
dren. Mixed  with  Cocomalt,  it  provides 
extra  carbohydrates  for  body  heat  and  phys- 
ical activity;  extra  proteins  for  solid  flesh 
and  muscle;  extra  food-calf  ium,  food-phos- 
phorus and  Sunshine  Vitamin  D  for  the 
formation  of  strong  bones,  sound  teeth. 

Help  your  child  gain  as  he  grows 

The  famous  Lanarkshire  milk  experiment 
in  1930  among  20,000  school  children 
shows  definitely  that  children  who  received 


milk  daily  during  the  test  grew  faster  and 
were  healthier  than  those  who  did  not. 

If  milk  alone  can  aid  growth  and  im- 
prove nutrition,  thin'c  what  an  advantage 
your  child  will  have  if  you  give  him  Coco- 
malt in  milk.  For,  made  as  directed,  Coco- 
malt almost  DOUBLES  the  food-energy 
value  of  every  glass  or  cup  of  milk. 

Cocomalt  is  accepted  by  the  American 
Medical  Association,  Committee  on  Foods. 

Wonderful  for  adults,  too 

Not  only  does  Cocomalt  and  milk  help 
children  thrive,  but  for  grown-ups,  with 
its  nutritional  value  and  extra  food- 
energy,  it  is  a  pleasant  way  to  maintain  and 
restore  strength.  A  hot  drink  promotes 
relaxation  for  sound,  restful  sleep,  drink 
Cocomalt  HOT  before  retiring. 

Cocomalt  is  sold  at  grocery,  drug  and  depart- 
ment stores  in  Ji-Ib..  1  -lb.  and  5-lb.  hospital-size 
air-tight  cans. 

SPECIAL  TRIAL  OFFER:  For  a  trial-size  cm

and  four  years,  she  may  have  figured, 
are  long  enough  for  a  man  to  hang  around 
a  girl  without  signing  on  the  dotted  line. 

At  first,  no  douht,  in  bitter  disappoint- 
ment and  empty  frustration,  Frank  won- 
dered if  he  had  hcen  so  all-fired  wise.  But 
time  dulled '  his  disappointment,  and  he 
told  himself  that  he  had  known  the  right 
tiling  to  do  and  had  done  it. 

The  years  flew  by,  and  his  friends 
married,  and  stayed  up  all  night  walking 
their  bawling  infants  around.  And  they 
said  to  Frank,  "Isn't  it  time,  old  boy,  that 
you  got  married  ?  It  wouldn't  be  so  bad 
if  you  went  in  for  plenty  of  good  times, 
but  what  are  you  getting  out  of  life  this 
way  ?" 

Frank  only  smiled  and  told  them,  "You 
know  how  I  feel  about  marriage.  There's 
nothing  in  the  world  that's  easier  than 
getting  married  and  nothing  that's  harder 
than  being  happy  thougli  married.  I'm 
certainly  not  going  to  marry  just  for  the 
sake  of  calling  myself  a  married  man. 
I'll  wait  till  I'm  in  a  position  to  give 
everything  to  my  wife." 

Meanwhile  his  life  changed  completely. 
All  of  a  sudden  he  discovered  that  he 
had  a  voice,  and  that  his  voice  might  be 
his  fortune.  While  working  in  the  tur- 
bine factory,  he  hurried  the  hours  by 
singing.  One  day  the  foreman  of  the 
place  heard  him.  As  the  man  passed, 
Frank  stopped  suddenly,  shivering  with 
the  fear  that  he  might  lose  his  job.  But 
instead  of  reprimanding  him,  the  fore- 
man only  grinned  and  said,  "You  seem 
to  be  enjoying  yourself." 

After  that  Frank  was  frequently  called 
upon  to  sing  at  entertainments,  but  still 
he  never  believed  that  he  could  earn  a 
living  from  his  voice,  until  an  accident 
in  the  factory  threw  him  into  the  hospi- 
tal. It  seemed  such  an  unimportant  acci- 
dent at  the  time,  just  a  little  injury  to  his 
finger  when  it  got  caught  in  a  machine, 
but  the  bone  underneath  decayed  and  he 
suffered  the  most  excruciating  agony.  In 
his  pain  and  bewilderment,  he  learned 
that  he  would  not  be  able  to  work  again 
for  a  year  and  a  half. 

KJ  OT  until  then,  when  he  was  half  mad 
^  with  fear  and  worry,  did  the  thought 
come  to  him  that  his  voice  could  be 
trained  and  that  perhaps  he  could  earn  a 
living  by  singing.  So  he  went  to  see  Dud- 
ley Buck,  the  music  teacher.  He  had  no 
money  with  which  to  pay  for  lessons,  but 
Dudley  was  so  impressed  with  his  voice 
that  he  offered  to  train  him  until  he 
landed  a  position,  and  when  he  did,  Munn 
could  repay  him.    For  two  and  a  half 


years  he  taught  Munn  and  save  him  the 
courage  to  start  his  life  anew. 

His  first  chance  came  when  Ik-  got  an 
audition  to  make  phonographic  records 
for  the  New  Brunswick  Phonograph 
Company.  Later,  when  Gus  Haenschen 
heard  those  records,  he  realized  that  Frank 
was  a  find  and  worked  his  head  off  trying 
to  get  him  a  chance  in  radio.  Ten  years 
ago  he  started  his  second  life,  singing 
over  \VJZ  in  a  program  called  "Sixty 
White  Minutes."  Since  then  he  has  ap- 
peared on  dozens  of  programs.  Probably 
you  heard  him  a  few  years  ago  on  the 
old  Palmolive  program  when  he  and  Vir- 
ginia Kea  were  billed  as  Paul  Oliver  and 
Olive  Palmer.  For  four  and  a  half  years 
they  were  buried  alive  under  names  that 
were  not  their  own,  now  both  of  them  have 
gone  back  to  their  real  names.  At  last 
Frank  Munn  seems  to  be  on  the  way  to 
achieving  something  in  life. 

More  than  that,  life,  which  he  passed 
by,  is  no  longer  passing  him  by.  In  a 
beautiful  dark-haired  girl,  who  was  the 
secretary  to  an  executive  in  the  musical 
world,  he  has  found  the  answer  to  his 
dreams  of  romance.  At  last  he  is  ready 
to  marry,  now  that  he  can  lay  the  world 
at  her  feet. 

He  is  thirty-eight  and  for  a  man  who 
has  found  his  place  in  the  world,  that 
isn't  very  old.  But  he  has  denied  himself 
so  much,  the  thrill  of  consummated  first 
love,  the  passion  and  beauty  that  they 
say  come  only  once.  He  has  been  so  very 
wise  and  so  very,  very  cautious  and  he 
says  he  is  happy  now.  Certainly  he  doesn't 
pity  himself,  yet  for  all  his  fame  and  for 
all  his  success  I  feel  rather  sorry  for  him. 

Youth  comes  only  once,  and  he  passed 
it  by,  and  it  will  never  come  his  way  again. 
Life  offered  him  love  when  he  was  very 
young  and  in  the  spring  of  life,  and  he 
passed  it  by.  Sixteen  years  have  come 
and  gone  since  then,  and  his  waistline  has 
grown  broader,  and  his  cheek?  chubbier 
and  certainly  he  isn't  a  romantic  figure. 
Love  he  may  know  and  romance,  but  it 
will  never  be  the  same  again.  He  had  a 
chance  to  gamble  on  marriage  with  pov- 
erty, and  he  didn't  take  it.  and  he  will 
never  be  twenty-two  again.  Never  will 
he  know  the  joy  and  the  salty  bitterness 
of  having  a  woman  he  loves  fight  side  by 
side  with  him,  for  undoubtedly  his  future 
will  be  secure  and  safe.  He  might  have 
married  at  twenty-two  and  known  either 
bitter  unhappiness  or  sublime  ecstasy.  But 
he  did  not  take  the  gamble.  Those  who 
do  not  grasp  at  promised  joy  when  it 
passes,  miss  all  the  bitter-sweets  of  life.

System  press  department  headquarters, 
things  were  happening.  A  news  flash  had 
just  come  in  that  Coney  Island  was  afire 
and  that  a  high  wind  threatened  the  de- 
struction of  many  buildings. 

Press  department  men  called  high  CBS 
officials  at  their  home  for  permission  to 
broadcast  a  description  of  the  scene  from 
a  dirigible.  Short  minutes  later,  Husing's 
phone  rang*. 

"Get  over  to  Holmes  airport  at  top 
speed.  You're  going  on  a  news  broadcast 
from  a  dirigible." 

"Right,"  snapped  Ted. 

Bubbles  knew  what  was  up.  "You 
worked  hard  all  day  and  came  home  all 
worn  out.  Won't  you  ever  be  able  to  find 
some  time  to  spend  at  home  with  me?" 

But  fifteen  minutes  later,  Ted  was  high 
in  tiie  air,  speeding  toward  Coney  Island. 

That's  the  sort  of  thing  an  announcer's 
wife  has  to  face.  It  makes  life  pretty 
difficult,  what  with  their  husband's  com- 
ing and  going  at  all  hours,  elaborate  dinners 
going  to  waste  before  they  can  get  home 
— and  when  they  do,  they're  often  almost 
too  exhausted  to  talk.  You  can't  blame 
a  man  for  being  irritable  after  having 
worked  that  hard,  but  it  makes  it  no  less 
easy  for  the  wife.  And  there  are  other 
things. 

It  was  the  McNamee  rift  that  first 
attracted  wide  attention  to  the  home  life 
of  announcers. 

He'd  met  his  former  wife,  Josephine 
Garrett,  before  he'd  become  an  announcer. 
It  was  at  a  rehearsal  of  a  Gilbert  and 
Sullivan  operetta  in  which  they  both  had 
singing  roles.  He  hadn't  been  introduced 
to  her,  he  hid  his  copy  of  the  score  in 
his  pocket  and  went  over  to  ask  her  if  he 
could  sing  from  her  music.  She  consented 
and  the  romance  began. 

They  become  very  devoted.  After  he 
became  an  announcer  she  listened  to  each 
broadcast,  after  which  he  called  up  to 
ask:    "How-  was  it,  dear?" 

"Sometimes  it  is  difficult  for  me  to 
criticize  him,"  she  once  said  to  an  inter- 
viewer. "I  know  whatever  I  say,  he  will 
be  cross.  But  I  don't  like  to  hurt  his 
feelings." 

It  was  but  a  few  months  before  Mrs. 
McXamee  brought  suit  for  divorce  that 
she  asked  her  husband :  "Why  do  you 
think   our   marriage   has   turned   out  so 

well?" 

"Because,"  answered  Graham,  "you're 
so  good  and  I'm  so  bad." 

"That's  a  silly  answer,"  she  said.  "It's 
because  I'm  so  bad  and  you're  so  good." 

"That's  a  silly  answer  too,"  replied 
Graham. 

About  that  time  she  also  asserted :  "It's 
up  to  a  wife  to  keep  her  husband  pepped 
up,  to  send  him  off  to  his  work  whatever 
it  is — knowing  that  she  is  all  for  him." 

Despite  all  she  said  she  felt,  Mrs. 
McNamee  apparently  couldn't  stand  the 
strain  on  family  ties.  After  eleven  years 
of  childless  marriage,  Graham  was  notified 
on  May  1,  1931,  that  she  was  bringing 
suit  for  divorce. 

Graham  was  said  to  have  been  making 


about  $50,000  a  year  at  that  time.  In 
court,  the  referee  asked  her  it  she  ex- 
acted alimony. 

"Of  course  I  desire  alimony."  she  an- 
swered. We  have  reached  an  agreement 
on  that  out  of  court." 

"Did  your  husband,"  he  asked,  "when 
you  made  this  agreement,  agree  not  t  > 
defend  this  action  for  divorce?" 

"Oh,  no.  Of  course  not,"  she  replied. 

So  the  divorce  was  granted.  Since  then, 
as  you  know,  McXamee  has  married  Ann 
Lee  Sims,  an  actress. 

James  Wallington  and  his  Polish  ballet 
dancer  wife,  Stanislawa  Butkiewicz, 
seemed  happy  and  gay  as  pups  when  he 
married  her  while  working  as  announcer 
at  WGY  in  Schenectady.  New  York. 
After  they  came  to  Xew  Y'ork,  Jimmy 
bought  a  fine  home  in  Bayside,  Long  Isl- 
and, and  "Statia"  as  he  called  her,  de- 
voted herself  to  the  task  of  furnishing  it. 
But   something  happened. 

Last  July  2nd,  the  Wallingtons  were 
granted  a  divorce  in  Reno.  Just  another 
evidence  of  how  incompatibility  can  rear 
its  head  in  an  announcer's  home. 

In  September,  Jimmy  married  Anita 
Fuhrmann,  a  dancer  in  the  Rockettes.  that 
marvelously  drilled  ballet  group  in  the 
Radio  City  Theatre.  She  was  formerly 
Captain  of  the  Roxyettes  when  the  group 
was  known  by  that  name.  Curious,  isn't 
it,  that  fate  should  separate  Jimmy  from 
one  ballet  dancer,  only  to  bring  him  to- 
gether with  another.  Let's  hope  that  life 
will  be  kinder  this  time  and  that  they'll 
be  happy  the  rest  of  their  lives. 

It  was  just  about  two  weeks  before  the 
Wallington  divorce  that  Helen  Husing  es- 
tablished residence  in  Reno  in  anticipation 
of  suing  for  a  divorce  from  Ted.  She 
charged  extreme  cruelty,  which,  of  course, 
can  in  such  cases,  indicate  mental  upsets 
resulting  from  the  irregular  home  life 
which  an  announcer's  position  certainly 
forces  him  to  lead. 

On  July  19th,  she  won  the  divorce  un- 
contested. She  was  awarded  the  custody 
of  their  nine-year-old  daughter.  Peggy 
Mae  Husing.  Thus  did  Ted  and  Bubbles 
come  to  the  parting  of  the  ways  last 
summer. 

YTou  can  understand  then,  how  it  is  that 
Paul  Douglas  and  Kenneth  Roberts  have 
had  to  separate  from  their  wives.  Paul 
himself  told  me  that  the  crazy  galloping 
about  the  country  he  had  to  do.  contributed 
largely  to  the  impossibility  of  their  con- 
tinuing. 

Such  are  the  causes  which  lie  behind 
the  discords  and  divorces  in  the  families 
of  radio  announcers.  It  reminds  me  of  the 
statement  Mrs.  McXamee  once  made: 

"There  was  never  any  question  about  it. 
It  was  a  love  affair  from  the  first  time  we 
met.  We  always  have  such  a  good  time 
together.  We  like  the  same  things — music, 
of  course,  but  shows  too.  We  even  like 
the  same  jokes." 

It  set  me  wondering  whether  she  now 
laughs  at  Ed  Wynn's  jokes  when  Graham 
guffaws  from  the  other  side  of  the  loud- 
speaker.

"If  I  were  naturally  that  way  I  wouldn't 
mind.  But  I'd  never  think  of  cultivating 
any  pose  even  if  I  had  time  to." 

Clothes?  "They  don't  matter  much  to 
me.  Mother  does  every  bit  of  my  shopping, 
even  hats  and  shoes.  She  knows  exactly 
what  I  like  so  I  never  bother.  Heavens ! 
[f  I  had  to  select  my  own  things  I'd  prob- 
ably be  running  around  in  this  dress  five 
years  from  now.  What  does  it  matter 
when  anything'll  do?  I'd  rather  be  swim- 
ming or  playing  with  Smokey."  Smokey 
being  the  laziest,  fuzziest  old  Persian  cat 
that  ever  clawed  your  approaching  hand. 

Men?  "Of  course  I  like  men,  all  dif- 
ferent kinds  of  them.  I  have  very  little 
time  to  date,  but  when  I  can  go  out  I 
enjoy  it.  If  I  fall  uncontrollably  in  love  I 
hope  to  marry,  but  I've  not  the  least  idea 
of  trying  to  'catch'  a  rich  fellow.  I've  a 
feeling  I  prefer  brains." 

Hobbies?  Take  her  on  for  tennis  some 
morning.  A  well-known  maestro  told 
Gertrude's  dad  one  day  that  he  bet  he 
could  beat  her  game  six  to  two.  After  the 
first  set  that  box  of  cigars  was  in  order, 
because  this  gal  can  wield  as  wicked  a 
serve  as  you  ever  tried  to  return.  She's 
lightning  on  a  tennis  court. 

Same  goes  for  deep  sea  fishing  too.  Re- 
cently the  Xiesen  family  accompanied  Mr. 
Ralph  Wonders,  CBS  Artists  Bureau 
manager,  on  a  fishing  trip  in  Long  Island 
Sound.  For  all  the  hearty  males  on  board 
little  Niesen  landed  the  prize  fish.  "It 
was  as  long  as  from  there  to  there!" 
Seriously.  She  points  to  the  east  and  west 
walls  of  Studio  Six.  Come  on  now,  Ger- 
trude, you  don't  expect  us  to  believe  that. 

Wealth  ?  "Somehow  I  never  think  of 
wealth.  I  have  the  things  I  want,  which 
are  not  a  great  deal,  and  I  never  pay  any 
attention  to  the  rest.  Dad  handles  all  my 
financial  affairs."  (And  right  here  and 
now  let  it  be  known  that  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Xiesen  are  two  of  the  nicest  persons 
you'll  ever  meet.  They're  delightful  people, 
good  sports  and  Mrs.  Niesen  is  musician- 
composer  behind  many  of  her  daughter's 
novel  arrangements.) 

Ambitions?  "I  just  want  to  keep  on 
singing.  As  long  as  I  can  do  that  I'll  be 
happy.  Singing  and  working.  I  want 
people  to  like  me." 

Well,  they  will.  Because  you  and  I  like 
'just  folks.'  Gertrude  Xiesen  is  the  girl 
next  door  who  wants  to  go  on  the  stage ; 
one  of  your  sorority  sisters ;  runner-upper 
in  the  Community  Club's  tennis  finals; 
the  sweet  little  brunette  you  dated  at  the 
beach  last  summer — you  remember,  the 
one  who  had  freckles  and  pep  and  sort  of  I 
clowned  around.  Any  girl.  Most  every  girl. 

As  exotic  as  a  ham  on  rye.  As  aloof  as 
one's  thumb.  Wholesome  as  milk  toast. 

That's  what  La  Xiesen  is.

NOW  comes  a  scientific  discovery  of  vast 
importance  to  women,  the  greatest  step 
in  modern  make-up. 
...  A  way  so  simple,  so  practical  that  you'll 
be  amazed  ...  A  way  that  costs  so  little  that 
you'll  be  delighted.  No  plastic  surgery.  No 
long,  costly  treatments. 

This  wonderful  discovery  is  called  Mello- 
glo  Modeling,  a  new  and  ex- 
clusive way  to  apply  face  pow- 
ders .  .  .  now  instead  of  using 
only  one  shade  of  powder,  you 
get  an  utterly  changed,  allur- 
ing effect  by  using  two  differ- 
ent, related  shades. 

Authentic  charts  and  dia- 
grams, based  on  practices  of 
artists  and  sculptors,  show  you 
exactly  what  to  do,  how  to  do 
it.  Now  you  can  model  your 
face  as  you  wish,  highlighting 
your  best  features,  subduing 
your  handicaps.  The  results 
are  truly  satisfying. 

This  revolutionary  contribu- 
tion— worked  out  after  years 
of  research  and  experiment — is  offered  by  the 
staff  of  Meilo-glo  experts,  and  approved  by  all 
leading  beauty  specialists  and  consultants.  It 
is  today's  sensation  in  beauty  circles. 

Once  you  try  Mello-glo  Modeling,  you'll 
agree  that  it  creates  wonderful  effects.  Here's 

SOFT -TONE 

MELLO-GLO 

the  close-up  powder  that 
gives  an  UN-powdered  look 


EXCLUSIVE 

Mello-glo  Modeling  is  made 
possible  by  the  creation  of 
o  completely  new  lace  pow- 
der called  Soft-tone  Mello- 
glo.  a  super-powder  that 
permits  two-shade  modeling 
never  before  possible.  Now 
the  shades  blend  together 
perfectly  because  Mello-glo 
is  stratified,  that  is,  rolled 
into  tiny,  clinging  wafers. 
Hence  Mello-glo  Modeling 
con  be  achieved  only  with 
Soft -tone  Mello-glo  —  not 
with  ordinary  powders. 


how  to  prove  it.  Buy  one  box  of  the  shade  that 
matches  your  complexion  in  general.  Then 
buy  another  box — tighter  if  you  wish  to  ac- 
cent certain  features,  darker,  if  you  want  to 
shadow  them. 

For  instance,  if  your  nose  is  too  small,  and 
therefore  needs  accent,  use  a  lighter  Mello-glo 
powder  than  on  the  rest  of  your  face — if  your 
nose  is  too  prominent  and 
needs  to  be  subdued,  use  a 
darker  shade. 

Then  stand  off  5  feet  from 
your  mirror  and  note  the  ar- 
tistic effect  —  how  the  shades 
blend  unnoticeably  yet  give 
that  artistic  oval  effect. 

Try  the  various  Melio-glo 
Modelings  —  how  to  widen  or 
narrow  your  face,  how  to  bring 
out  or  shadow  features,  how  to 
normalize  your  contour,  how 
to  create  new  interest.  The 
whole  fascinating,  easy  method 
of  Mello-glo  Modeling  is  told 
in  our  free  booklet.  "The  New 
Vogue  in  Powdering."  Don't 
wait,  send  for  a  copy  A'O/T.

fure  quickly,  safely!  Doctors  advise  it. 

When  you  cough,  it's  usually  because 
your  throat's  moisture  glands  ha  ve  clogged. 
Then  your  throat  dries,  because  infection 
has  changed  the  character  of  your  glands' 
secretion.  Thick  mucus  collects.  First  you 
feel  a  tickling — then  you  cough! 

Stimulate  your  throat's  moisture  glands. 
Take  PERTUSSIN!  The  very  first  spoon- 
ful increases  the  flow  of  natural  moisture. 
Throat  and  bronchial  tissues  are  lubri- 
cated, soothed.  Sticky  phlegm  loosens. 
Germ-infected  mucus  is  easily  "raised" 
and  cleared  away.  Relief! 

Pertussin  contains  no  harsh  or  injurious 
drugs.  It  is  safe  even  for  babies.  Won't 
upset  the  stomach.  "It  is  wonderful  for 
coughs" — "I  give  it  to  my  own  children,"

you  can  Rive  as  many  laughs  to  my  crowd 
up  here,  you're  hired." 

At  that  moment  lie  stopped  being  sleepy 
and  if  he  was  a  little  scared  when  he  went 
up  that  evening,  nobody  knew  it.  He 
got  the  laughs  and  he  got  the  job. 

Getting  a  laugh  is  one  thing  Walter 
O'Keefe  takes  rather  seriously,  but  he  is 
not  Pagliacci.  hiding  a  secret  sorrow.  He 
lives  hard  with  unbounded  energy  and  en- 
thusiasm that  sometimes  get  him  into 
trouble,  but  are  even  better  at  getting  him 
out  again.  He  works  hard  because  work 
is  fun  and  his  enjoyment  of  life  is  irrepres- 
sible. It  is  characteristic  that  when  he 
was  getting  over  infantile  paralysis  he  sat 
up  in  bed  and  wrote  a  comedy.  He  sub- 
mitted it  for  a  contest  John  Golden,  the 
producer,  was  holding  and,  though  it  didn't 
win  a  prize,  it  was  placed  among  the  first 
ten. 

When  he  wants  a  thing  he  goes  for  it 
so  wholeheartedly  that  nothing  else  matters. 
Being  determined  and  very,  very  per- 
suasive he  usually  gets  it,  but  if,  as  some- 
times happens,  the  joke  is  on  him.  nobody 
enjoys  it  more  than  Walter.  Talking  of 
his  radio  career  he'll  quite  forget  to  men- 
tion the  things  his  friends  like  him  to  tell 
about,  such  as  the  fact  that  in  his  early 
appearances  as  guest  star  on  Rudy  Vallee's 
program  he  was  the  only  one  asked  to 
appear  four  times,  or  about  his  later  suc- 
cesses. Instead  he'll  tell  with  great  de- 
light about  his  first  broadcast.  It  happened 
very  suddenly  and  dashing  out  of  the  office 
he  pressed  five  dollars  into  the  hands  of 


his  startled  sister,  who'd  come  with  him. 

"Telegraph  everybody,"  he  commanded 
royally.  'Telegraph  Aunt  Kate  and 
Cousin  Mamie  and  Uncle  Joe  .  .  ."  he 
named  over  practically  all  his  living  rela- 
tives. "Tell  them  to  listen  in  tonight. 
I'm  going  to  broadcast." 

That  night  something  went  wrong  and 
the  broadcast  was  terrible.  It  was  so 
magnificently  bad  he  didn't  even  finish  his 
program. 

"And  when  my  contract  was  can- 
celled," he  says,  "the  reason  they  gave  was 
'at  performer's  request.'  I  certainly  got  a 
laugh  out  of  that." 

It  seems  natural  that  his  first  job  after 
graduating  from  Notre  Dame  should  have 
been  on  a  newspaper,  for  he  has  the  re- 
porter's instinct  that  always  gets  him  into 
the  middle  of  any  important  excitement 
going  on  at  the  moment.  He  first  showed 
it  back  in  1917  when,  still  a  student  at  St. 
Thomas  Academy,  he  decided  that  since 
there  was  a  war  he'd  better  get  in  it.  Of 
course  he  didn't  keep  this  important  de- 
cision to  himself  and  in  no  time  everyone 
in  Hartford  knew  that  the  O'Keefes'  old- 
est was  going  to  New  York  to  enlist  in 
the  Marines.  They  said  he  was  a  hero  and 
probably  he  felt  like  one  when  all  the 
town  saw  him  off  at  the  station  and  the 
papers  ran  long  stories  about  how  proud 
Hartford  was  of  her  gallant  son.  In  New 
York  he  went  straight  to  the  recruiting 
station. 

"Age?"  snapped  the  officer. 
"Seventeen,"  said  Walter  innocentlv.

"Too  young."  said  the  officer.  Maybe 
the  well-known  O'Keefe  persuasiveness 
was  less  developed  than  it  is  now  or  per- 
haps it  was  just  that  he  was  up  against 
the  U.  S.  government. 

"Will  you  still  be  here  in  twenty  min- 
utes?" he  asked  at  last. 

"Yes,  and  it  won't  do  you  a  bit  of  good," 
the  officer  assured  him.  But  Walter  had 
already  gone.  Like  a  homing  pigeon  he 
flew  straight  for  the  nearest  newsstand  and 
in  fifteen  minutes  he  was  back  with  a 
handful  of  clippings  from  Hartford  papers 
which  he  flung  desperately,  almost  tear- 
fully, on  the  desk. 

"Read  those,"  he  demanded.  "You  see 
I  simply  can't  go  back." 

The  officer  saw  and  if  Walter  wasn't  a 
hero  for  his  country,  he  came  near  dying 
!  for  it.  of  influenza  at  the  Marine  base  at 
Quantico. 

The  second  year  at  Texas  Guinan's  she 
moved  her  club  to  Miami  for  the  winter 
and  when  she  went  back  to  New  York, 
Walter  did  not  go  with  her.  The  Florida 
land  boom  was  on,  fortunes  were  being 
made— and  lost — with  speed  that  would 
have  made  a  Monte  Carlo  gambler  dizzy 
:  and  Walter  had  to  be  in  it.  He,  Ben  Hecht 
and  J.  P.  McEvoy  found  a  backer  and  took 
,  over  Key  Largo,  the  biggest  key  off  the 
Florida  coast  with  practically  nothing  on  it 
except  mosquitoes  which,  Walter  says,  were 
so  thick  they  got  black  and  blue  just 
bumping  into  each  other.  To  help  business 
he  wrote  a  song,  "I'm  going  to  Key- 
Largo"  which  the  firm  bought  for  $2,500, 
[  but  the  millions  they  were  prepared  to 
make  didn't  materialize.  Discouraged,  per- 
haps by  the  mosquitoes,  customers  went 
away  without  buying  and  at  last  their 
backers,  discouraged  too,  backed  out. 
Still  fascinated,  apparently,  by  the  idea 
'  of  being  a  businessman.  Walter,  for  a 
while,  joined  a  Xew  York  real  estate  firm. 
He  sold  them  a  theme  song  too,  called  by 
a  coincidence,  "I'm  going  to  Long  Island." 

He  was  a  master  of  ceremonies  at  Bar- 
ney Gallant's  famous  club,  writing  his  own 
songs  and  getting  a  reputation  as  one  of 
the  best  lyric  writers  in  the  country.  When 
he  and  Bobbie  Dolan  had  an  offer  to  go 
to  Hollywood,  which  in  those  early  years 
of  sound  pictures,  was  a  kind  of  golden 
madhouse  with  money  spurting  in  all  di- 
rections like  water  from  a  burst  hose  and 
nobody  very  clear  as  to  what  was  being 
bought  with  it.  They  wrote  songs  for  one 
picture  which  were  never  used  because  the 
well-known  actress  for  whom  they  were 
written  didn't  sing — nobody  had  thought 
to  ask  her  beforehand. 

In  fourteen  feverish  days  they  wrote 
words  and  music  for  "Sweet  Kittie  Bel- 
lairs"  for  Warner  Brothers.  They  spent 
another  month,  at  great  expense  to  the 
same  company,  writing  a  play  for  Marilyn 
Miller,  which  so  far  as  they  know  was 
never  read,  because  in  the  meantime  the 
producer?  had  bought  "Sunny"  for  her. 
Over  their  new  contract  they  quarreled 
with  the  company,  walked  out  without 
signing  it  and  discovered  that  although 
'hey'd  made  a  great  deal  of  money  they'd 
neglected  to  save  any.  They  were  glori- 
ously broke  and  the  fact  merely  raised 
their  high  spirits.

hlitlie  and  elegant  in  their  smart  sports 
roadster  to  look  it  over.  The  office  was 
in  the  middle  of  a  no  parking  district  and 
on  a  building  across  the  street  was  a  sign, 
"Cars  Parked,  twenty-five  cents."  Bobbie 
looked  at  Walter,  who  shook  his  head.  They 
couldn't  possibly  afford  to  waste  that 
quarter.  Having  driven  practically  to  the 
edge  of  town  where  they  could  park  free, 
they  gravely  walked  back — and  turned 
down  the  job,  because  they  were  offered 
$250  less  a  month  than  they  felt  they  should 
have. 

DKFORE  coming  cast  Walter  sang  for 
a  short  time  on  a  West  Coast  radio 
program  with  Bing  Crosby,  who  one  day 
brought  over  some  victrola  records  of  old 
songs.  One  in  particular  was  so  good 
Walter  made  his  own  arrangement  of  the 
music,  rewrote  the  words  and  back  in  New 
York  sang  it  at  Barney  Gallant's,  where  it 
was  an  instant  success.  Later  it  was  one  of 
his  hits  in  "The  Third  Little  Show" — may- 
be you've  heard  it.  It's  called  "The  Daring 
Young  Man  on  the  Flying  Trapeze!" 

O'Keefe  is  tall,  dark  and  good  looking, 
wears  faintly  English  looking  clothes, 
carries  a  cane  and  would  probably  be 
recognized  anywhere  as  Irish.  He  enjoys 
his  own  humor,  but  lets  other  people  do  the 
laughing.  When  he  says  something  par- 
ticularly good  his  manner  is  almost  wist- 
ful, as  if  he  did  so  hope  you'd  like  that 
one.  He  can  work  at  any  hour,  usually 
gets  the  idea  for  a  song  after  he  gets  home 
at  night,  writes  it  immediately  and  then 
likes  to  go  driving  all  alone,  singing  his 
latest  work  at  the  top  of  his  lungs.  On 
one  such  occasion,  at  five  in  the  morning, 
he  was  stopped  by  a  policeman  for  speed- 
ing. Walter  was  friendly  and  regretful.  "I 
was  lost  in  song,"  he  explained.    "It's  a 


new  one  I've  just  written.  Listen  I'll  sing 
it  for  you." 

And  there  on  the  street,  in  the  firat  pale 
light  of  dawn,  he  sang  the  song — it  was 
"Little  by  Little" — to  a  dazed,  but  admir- 
ing cop. 

"How  do  you  like  it?"  he  inquired 
anxiously  when  he  finished. 

"Fine,"  said  the  policeman,  "That's  a 
fine  one.  Uh,  you  can  drive  on  Only 
try  to  be  more  careful  the  next  time  you 
get  lost  in  song." 

He  reads  a  lot,  seldom  puts  down  a 
book  he's  begun  until  he  finishes  it  and 
when  he  was  at  Barney  Gallant's  used  to 
go  through  more  than  thirty  newspapers  a 
day.  Much  of  his  reading  is  done  in  taxis 
which  he  always  inspects  before  getting 
in  to  see  if  there's  a  good  light.  When 
not  curled  up  with  a  book,  he  sends  taxi 
drivers  almost  crazy,  partly  because  his 
sociable  interest  in  what's  going  on  makes 
him  a  pleasant,  but  persistent  backseat

H  here  he's  going. 

"Just  weave  over  to  that  big  building  on 
Fifty-first  Street,"  he  says,  and  leaves  them 
to  guess  that  he  means  the  Columbia 
Broadcasting  Building.  Then  he  settles 
back  and  gives  them  advice  about  how  to 
weave. 

He  loves  having  quantities  of  very 
important  business  appointments,  prefer- 
ably about  one  every  fifteen  minutes.  Due 
to  this  trait  and  to  his  genial  sociability  the 
O'Keefe  apartment  has  had  all  the  peace 
and  privacy  of  the  Grand  Central  Station. 
This  year,  however,  his  wife  has  protested 
and  they  have  taken  a  place  so  arranged 
that  at  least  they  wont  have  his  mis- 
cellaneous visitors  all  but  sitting  in  their

Wagon,"  is  his  wife.  Beside  being  beautiful 
and  gifted,  she  also  shares  his  sense  of 
humor.  One  night  last  winter  not  long 
before  he  was  to  go  on  the  air  there  was 
a  phone  call  from  the  studio.  The  script, 
a  worried  voice  said,  called  in  one  place 
for  the  crowing  of  a  rooster  and  nobody 
there  knew  how  to  crow.  Walter  was 
undisturbed. 

"It's  all  right,"  he  said  soothingly.  "I've 
got  somebody  who  can  do  it.  Don't  worry." 

Walter's  broadcasts,  as  you  probably 
know,  are  not  by  any  means  stilted.  By 
the  same  friendly  magic  he  used  at  Barney 
Gallant's  he  makes  the  studio  audience 
part  of  the  program,  even  getting  them  to 
join  in  on  some  of  his  songs.  That  night 
they  were  mystified  by  a  very  beautiful 
lady,  resplendent  in  full  evening  dress  who 
sat  on  the  stage  looking  as  though  she 
might  be  expected  to  sing  an  aria.  At  a 
signal  she  rose,  swept  with  complete  poise 
and  grace  to  the  microphone.  The  aud- 
ience was  breathless. 

"Cock  a  doodle  doo,"  she  crowed  ably 
and  realistically.     "Cock  a  doodle  doo." 

The  audience  rocked  with  delight  as 
Walter  bowed  gravely  courteous  acknowl- 
edgement and,  her  poise  still  unshaken. 
Mrs.  Walter  O'Keefe  swept  back  to  her 
seat. 

Their  real  home,  which  Walter  loves  so 
that  he  can  hardly  be  torn  away  to  come 
back  to  New  York,  is  their  summer  place  at 
Cherryfield.  Maine.  Here  they  have  not 
only  the  ocean,  but  a  river  and  a  lake  as 
well,  all  touching  their  property.  There 
are  three  dogs,  Barney  a  Scotch  terrier, 
Louisa  the  airedale,  and  a  distinguished 
Chow,  who  leads  a  gay,  unfettered  exis- 
tence. Last  summer  Walter  bought  a  dis- 
used lighthouse  from  the  Government.  His 
friends  wonder  anxiously  how  the  Govern- 
ment dared  to  trust  him  with  a  lighthouse, 
even  a  disused  one,  but  Walter  declares 
he's  going  to  fix  it  up  next  year  and  live 
in  it.  He's  going  to  call  it  "Columbia,  the 
Gem  of  the  Ocean." 

Perhaps  no  description  of  Walter 
O'Keefe  can  be  complete  without  mention 
of  one  person  whom  he  himself  so  often 
mentions,  that  genial,  charming,  red 
haired  old  vaudeville  trouper  known  to  his 
son's  countless  friends  as  Mike  O'Keefe. 
It  is  not  enough  to  say  that  Walter,  oldest 
of  four  children,  is  a  good  son  and 
brother;  he  enjoys  his  family  because  they 
are  people  who  would  delight  him  if  he'd 
only  met  them  yesterday  and  between 
father  and  son  there  is  an  especially  deep, 
unsentimental  affection.  They're  terribly 
proud  of  each  other  and  love  to  tell  stories 
about  each  other.  When  Walter  was  in 
Hollywood  his  entire  family  spent  the 
winter  in  Los  Angeles  and  often  coming 
down  stairs  around  nine  in  the  morning  he 
would  find  his  father,  very  ruddy  and  brisk, 
having  a  spot  of  breakfast  in  the  kitchen. 

"Just  thought  I'd  like  a  bit  of  a  walk," 
Mike  would  explain  breezily,  seeing  noth- 
ing remarkable  in  the  fact  that  the  bit 
of  a  walk  was  ten  miles  or  more  to  his 
boy's  place.  He  has  always  been  a  great 
walker  and  perhaps  it  didn't  seem  far  to  a 
man  hungry  for  a  visit  with  the  son  whose 
success  must  lie  especially  close  to  the 
famous  old  trouper's  heart.  Close  enough 
perhaps  to  make  up  for  whatever  regret 
his  deeply  religious  parents  may  have  felt 
when,  in  his  early  teens,  Walter  decided 
that  he  was  not  destined  to  be  a  priest. 


"W/"HEN  I  cheek  supplies  for  one 
W  of  our  trips,"  says  Mrs.  Buck,  "I 
make  sure  that  I  have  plenty  of  Pacquin's 
Hand  Cream.  Tropical  countries  are 
dreadfully  hard  on  the  hands.  My 
hands  would  be  leathery  and  %vrinkled 


if  I  didn't  care  for  them  with  Pacquin%. 
It  is  so  quick,  so  sure,  the  skin  absorbs

busy  hands  to  use  Pacquin's." 

Women  who  use  their  hands  a  lot  do 
find  Pacquin's  a  blessing.  It  takes  liter- 
ally no  time  to  dry— your  skin  seems  to 
absorb  this  soothing  cream  instantly. 
Pacquin's  feeds  the  skin  because  it  goes

sacks — or  at  least  pieces  of  them.  This 
response  is  said  to  be  an  all  time  mail 
pulling  record. 

To  hundreds  of  thousands  of  persons  the 
daily  activities  of  Mother  Moran,  Hob 
Crane,  Kay  Crane,  Frances,  Eileen  and 
Little  Lucy  are  as  real  as  the  events  in 
their  own  family  circles. 

The  players  are  just  bright  young  people 
who  live  the  kind  of  lives  they  portray  in 
the  radio  serial.  Not  that  Bob  Crane's 
role  is  an  accurate  reflection  of  Walter 
\\  icker's  life.  But  every  major  episode, 
every  vital  situation  in  Today's  Children 
has  its  counterpart  in  reality  in  their  lives 
or  those  of  their  friends  and  acquaintances. 

Why  once  Irna  and  Walter  changed  their 
wlmlc  plot  to  try  to  help  save  a  marriage 
that  was  just  about  on  the  ash  heap.  Re- 
number when  Frances  Moran  was  con- 
sidering marrying  her  boss  in  the  sketch? 
It  was  the  plan  of  the  writers  to  let  the 
man  get  his  divorce  and  marry  Frances. 
Then  one  day  a  letter  came : 

"I  know  this  is  asking  a  lot  of  you, 
Mother  Moran,  but  this  letter  comes  from 
the  heart  of  one  who  is  in  torment.  I  beg 
of  you,  please  have  your  story  turn  out  so 
that  the  man  goes  back  to  his  wife.  I 
have  a  very  dear  friend  whose  husband  has 
become  infatuated  with  a  girl  in  his  office. 
Now  my  friend  and  her  husband  both 
listen  to  your  program,  they  are  following 
it  now.  And  I  am  sure  if  you  would  have 
your  story  turn  out  so  that  Ralph  Martin 
would  go  back  to  his  wife,  this  man  would 
see  the  error  of  his  ways  and  would  give 
up  the  girl  in  his  office  and  return  to  his 
wife." 

Irna  and  Walter  made  a  real  effort  to 
save  this  broken  home.    It  was  a  lot  of 


work.  The  script  had  been  prepared  for 
several  weeks  ahead.  It  required  a  lot  of 
revamping,  but  they  did  it  because  they 
felt  it  was  worth  while  to  help  salvage 
a  shattered  love. 

All  the  actors  have  a  hand  in  the  crea- 
tion of  Today's  Children.  The  lines  are 
not  just  arbitrarily  written  for  reading  on 
the  air.  They  are  drawn  for  the  character 
who  will  speak  them  before  the  micro- 
phone. When  you  hear  Terry  on  the  air 
he  is  speaking  precisely  as  Fred  Von 
Ammon  speaks  the  minute  he's  out  of  the 
studio. 

Here's  how  the  show  is  written.  Walter 
and  Irna  get  together  and  plot  out  the 
story  for  several  weeks  ahead.  Thereupon 
Irna  writes  the  first  draft  of  the  actual 
dialogue.  A  good  impersonator,  she  dic- 
tates her  lines  to  a  stenographer  as  the 
other  characters  might  read  them.  Then 
at  rehearsal  every  player  is  invited  to  make 
any  changes  which  he  feels  will  make  his 
lines  more  vital  and  natural. 

When  the  show  finally  hits  the  air  there 
is  likely  to  be  a  bit  of  ad  libbing.  Today's 
Children,  like  Amos  'n'  Andy,  goes  on  the 
air  in  little  studio  F.  And,  like  Amos  'n' 
Andy,  is  not  open  to  visitors.  But  one 
morning  I  slipped  into  the  control  room 
and  sneaked  a  backstage  view  of  the  show. 
It  was  a  revelation.  Little  Lucy  Gilman, 
whom  Walter  Wicker  calls  the  best  trouper 
in  the  show,  happened  to  miss  a  cue.  So 
Fred  Von  Ammon  ad  libbed,  "  'Smatter, 
Lucy,  you  studying  your  spelling  lesson," 
and  got  her  attention  instantly. 

There's  a  feeling  that  seeing  a  young 
woman  in  the  part  of  Mother  Moran  would 
tend  to  shatter  the  illusion  created  by  this 


Duryea 

Don  Bestor  and  all  his  boys.   The  fair  young  lady  is  Joy  Lynn.   The  gentle-

OLDER  THAN  BLONDES 


homely  character.  At  any  rate  the  identity 
of  Mother  Moran  is  kept  secret.  The 
morning  I  saw  her  she  never  quite  faced 
the  control  room,  but  I  could  tell  that  she's 
definitely  a  young  person,  with  brown  hair, 
slim,  and  of  medium  height,  and  modishly 
turned  out  in  a  wine  colored  ensemble. 

But  perhaps  you'll  say  you  have  seen  pic- 
tures of  Mother  Moran.  Yes.  and  those 
pictures  were  made  from  a  painting  of 
Mother  Moran  as  Walter  Wicker's  mother. 
Mr>.  Mary  H.  Wicker,  conceives  her.  Mr?. 
Wicker  is  one  of  Chicago's  best  known 
portrait  painters  and  she  used  as  a  model 
for  her  impression  of  Mother  Moran  I  ma 
Phillips'  mother,  though  it  is  in  no  sense 
a  portrait  of  her. 

Folks,  you  ought  to  know  Irna  Phillips. 
Interesting  as  her  role  of  Kay  is  on  the 
air,  it  can't  touch  her  real  life  story. 
Youngest  of  a  family  of  ten  children,  she 
found  herself  four  years  ago  a  school 
teacher  and  none  too  keen  about  that  pro- 
fession.   But  she  was  a  radio  fan. 

She  admired  Pat  Barnes  and  his  charac- 
ter. '  Old  Timer."  One  day  she  walked 
blithely  into  the  studios  where  he  was 
working  and  introduced  herself.  Pat  thought 
she  was  just  another  girl  looking  for  a  job. 

"I  suppose  you  are  looking  for  an  audi- 
drtion."'  he  asked.  Irna  had  no  more  no- 
tion of  getting  into  radio  at  that  moment 
than  Rudy  Yallee  has  of  getting  out  of  it. 
So  she  was  a  little  bit  startled  to  hear  her 
voice  say.  "Yes.  of  course." 

Well,  Pat  turned  her  over  to  Harry 
Oilman,  an  assistant  manager,  and  she 
actually  was  offered  a  job.  A  few  months 
later  she  ditched  teaching  and  took  it. 

Pat  that  genial  philosopher  of  radio, 
gave  her  a  bit  of  shrewd  counsel  then  and 
there :  "Never  be  ahead  of  the  parade — 
but  be  marching  in  it."  Good  advice,  cer- 
tainly, and  she  took  it.  Not  that  she  had 
ever  been  covetous  of  the  drum  major's 
job  in  the  big  broadcast  parade.  All  she 
hoped  for  was  a  break  in  the  ranks  some- 
where near  the  rear  so  that  she  might  hop 
in  and  try  to  keep  step.

THE  ANSWER  IS  THAT  7  OUT  OF  10  BRUNETTES 
USE  THE  WRONG  SHADE  OF  FACE  POWDER! 


•  BY 


If  there's  one  thing  women  fool  themselves 
about,  it's  face  powder  shades. 

Many  women  select  face  powder  tints  on 
the  wrong  basis  altogether.  They  try  to  get  a 
face  powder  that  simply  matches  their  type 
instead  of  one  that  enhances  or  flatters  it. 

Any  actress  will  tell  you  that  certain  stage 
lights  can  make  you  look  older  or  younger. 
The  same  holds  true  for  face  powder  shades. 
One  shade  can  make  you  look  ten  to  twenty 
years  older  while  another  can  make  you  look 
years  younger. 

It's  a  common  saying  that  brunettes  look 
older  than  blondes.  There  is  no  truth  in  it. 
The  reason  for  the  statement  is  that  many 
brunettes  make  a  mistake  in  the  shade  of  the 
face  powder  they  use.  They  simply  choose  a 
brunette  face  powder  shade  or  one  that 
merely  matches  their  type  instead  of  one  that 
goes  with  the  tone  of  their  skin.  A  girl  may  be 
a  brunette  and  still  have  an  olive  or  white 
6  kin. 

One  of  Five  Shades  is  the  Richt  Shade! 

Colorists  will  tell  you  that  the  idea  of 
numberless  shades  of  face  powder  is 
all  wrong.  They  will  tell  you  that  one 
of  five  shades  will  answer  every  tone 
of  skin. 

I  make  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder 
in  five  shades  only,  when  I  could  just 
as  well  make  ten  or  twenty-five  shades. 
But  I  know  that  five  are  all  that  are 
necessary  and  I  know  that  one  of 
these  five  will  prove  just  the  right 
shade  of  face  powder  for  your  skin. 


I  want  you  to  find  out  if  you  are  using  the 
right  shade  of  face  powder  for  your  akin.  I 
want  you  to  find  out  if  the  shade  you  are 
using  is  making  you  look  older  or  younger. 

One  Way  to  Tell! 

There  is  only  one  way  to  find  out  and  this  is 
to  try  all  five  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face 
Powder — and  that  is  what  I  want  you  to  do

stantly prove  the  right  shade  for  you.  One

POWDERING 

AGAIN- 
IF  SHE  ONLY 
KNEW  HOW  CHEAP 
IT  LOOKS  ! 


5HE  NEEDS  THIS 
NEVWDIFFERENT 

YOU  can't  blame  a  man  for  misjudging! 
That  constant  powdering  does  look 
shallow,  frivolous  and  a  trifle  common!  Of 
course  it's  usually  the  result  of  nervousness — ■ 
fear  of  an  ordinary  powder  that  won't  stick. 
But  how  is  a  man  to  know  that? 

It's  so  needless  to  run  the  risk  of  being 
misjudged!  Thousands  of  women  have  said 
good-bye  to  "nervous  powdering"  since  they 
discovered  the  amazing  new  Golden  Pea- 
cock Face  Powder!  It  has  two  vital  new 
features.  In  the  first  place  it  is  really  mois- 
ture-proof— made  with  finest  French  ingredi- 
ents. Skin  moisture  cannot  take  the  powder 
off;  and  it  cannot  "cake"  it  into  pore- 
clogging,  coarsening  blackheads. 

Four  Times  Finer! 

But  more  than  that,  Golden  Peacock  powder 
is  four  times  finer  than  any  other  powder  we 
know  about!  This  super-fineness  makes  it 
blend  with  your  skin  perfectly.  No  more 
artificial  "powdered-up"  look;  instead,  your 
skin  presents  that  flawless,  natural  peach- 
bloom  look  that  is  the  sign  of  dewy  youth. 
Entrancing! 

Just  try  Golden  Peacock  Face  Powder  and 
see.  You  may  get  the  50-cent  size  at  any 
drug  or  department  store ;  and  the  generous 
purse  size  is  only  10  cents  at  all  5-and-10c

It  was  a  little  tough  finding  that  opening. 
W  hen  she  first  took  Today's  Children 
around  to  WMAQ  the  bosses  said,  "No." 
With  Walter  Wicker  she  offered  to  put  it 
on  for  nine  weeks  without  pay.  After 
seven  weeks  with  no  sponsor  in  sight,  the 
verdict  was  that  it  would  have  to  go  off 
the  air.  But  Irna  was  determined  that 
she  would  not  have  Today's  Children 
treated  like  stepchildren.  She  went  to  bat 
for  the  show,  got  an  O.K.  on  a  poll  asking 
listeners  whether  they  wanted  it  to  con- 
tinue. There  was  a  mighty  chorus — 10,000 
voices — of  "Yes." 

Soon  they  had  a  sponsor.  The  first  was 
a  General  Foods  product.  It  ran  thirteen 
weeks  and  then  they  went  sustaining  for 
three  months  until  the  present  sponsor, 
Pillsbury  Flour,  signed.  Pillsbury  had  not 
been  entirely  happy  about  radio  prior  to 
tills.  But  if  ever  a  program  had  an  en- 
thusiastic sponsor  Today's  Children  has  it 
now.  For  the  life  of  them  they  can't  figure 
out  how  the  first  angel  ever  came  to 
drop  it. 

As  you  know,  Walter  Wicker  takes  the 
part  of  Bob  Crane,  a  young  lawyer  who 
is  Kay's  husband.  Kay,  you  recall,  lived 
in  the  Moran  household  before  her  mar- 
riage. Walter  of  course  in  real  life  is  the 
husband  of  Ireene  Wicker,  who  plays 
Kileen  Moran  and  is  also  famed  from 
coast  to  coast  as  NBC's  "Singing  Lady." 

When  they  were  mere  youngsters — un- 
dergraduates at  the  University  of  Illinois — 
Walter  and  Ireene  were  married.  They 
took  the  step  between  halves  at  an  Illinois- 
Ohio  State  football  game.  Walter  was 
consecutively  a  realty  salesman  and  adver- 
tising man  and  then  dipped  into  politics. 
Ireene  became  associated  with  the  Good- 
man Theatre  of  the  Chicago  Art  Institute 
and  its  repertory  company.  In  the  last 
four  years  both  have  carved  their  niches 
deep  in  radio  annals. 

Walter  also  writes  the  successful  net- 
work show,  "Song  of  the  City,"  in  which 
Irna  Phillips  and  Ireene  also  appear,  and 
with  Miss  Phillips  he  is  co-author  of  the 
new  dramatic  series  titled.  "The  Little 
Church  Around  the  Corner."  Withal  he 
never  gives  the  appearance  of  being  hur- 
ried, or  even  busy.  He  finds  time  to  hunt, 
fish  and  do  lots  of  motoring. 

Just  about  perfectly  cast  is  Bess  Johnson 
as  Frances  Moran,  the  elder  daughter,  a 
typical  business  woman  of  today,  ambi- 
tious, sophisticated,  and  self-assured.  In 
private  life  she  is  the  wife  of  a  North 
Shore  physician  and  the  mother  of  a 
youngster.  But  she  takes  her  business  and 
professional  career  seriously.  You  know 
her  as  Lady  Esther,  the  "voice"  of  Wayne 
King's  programs.  As  Frances  does  in  the 
sketch,  so  Miss  Johnson  in  real  life  works 
for  an  advertising  agency — Stack-Goble's. 

As  Eileen,  Ireene  Wicker,  has  a  role 
that  reflects  to  a  considerable  extent,  her 
own  personality  and  experiences.  Eileen 


is  made  of  softer,  finer  fabric  than  her 
sister,  Frances.  Eileen  is  artistically  in- 
clined. She  sings,  has  been  perfecting  her 
voice  abroad,  and  is  now  hoping  to  become 
a  radio  star.  Ireene,  you  recall,  was  an 
actress  on  the  airways  long  before  she 
became  the  "Singing  Lady." 

Freddie  Von  Ammon,  who  portrays 
Terry  Moran,  is  a  handsome  young  fellow, 
who  got  his  start  in  radio  as  a  pianist. 
He  used  to  be  accompanist  for  Art  Jar- 
rett.  His  wife  is  played  by  Jean  Mac- 
Gregor,  a  wisp  of  a  Scotch  girl,  whom 
Ireene  used  to  know  back  in  the  days  at 
the  Goodman  theatre. 

Then  there's  Lucy  Moran,  who  is  really 
nine-year-old  Lucy  Gilman,  a  sweet  little 
redheaded  girl  in  pigtails.  "She's  just 
marvelous,"  Walter  insists.  And  she  is. 
One  of  the  sweetest  youngsters  that  ever 
piped  into  a  microphone.  She's  the  daugh- 
ter of  Harry  Gilman  who  gave  Irna  her 
first  radio  job. 

One  other  redhead  graces  the  fold.  She 
is  Bernice  Yanacek,  pianist.  Bobby  Mo- 
ran, Lucy's  baby  brother,  is  interpreted 
by  Dolores  Gillcn  when  she  isn't  out  in 
Hollywood  getting  a  start  in  pictures,  as 
she  happens  to  be  right  now.  Dolores  is 
great  at  gurgling  and  crying  like  a  baby. 
Cut  she  also  happens  to  be  beautiful.  So 
the  movies  grabbed  her.  When  I  last  lis- 
tened, Bobby  apparently  had  been  written 
out  of  the  sketch. 

Bill  Farnum  plays  Dick  Crane,  Bob's 
brother.  Farnum  has  acted  in  a  flock  of 
shows.  He  created  the  role  of  Harold 
Teen  on  the  air  a  few  years  back.  Stan- 
ley Andrews  is  Judge  McCoy  and  Mr. 
Edwards  is  interpreted  by  Philip  Lord, 
who,  of  course,  is  not  Phillips  Lord  of 
Seth  Parker  fame.  Louis  Roen  is  the 
announcer. 

A  happy  family  that  profits  much  by 
the  shrewd  counsel  of  Mother  Moran. 
But  the  scene  of  the  sketch  is  really  wider 
than  Mother  Moran's  own  horizon,  just  as 
in  real  life  each  member  of  a  family  has 
his  own  problems  and  interests  that  extend 
beyond  the  home  circle.  That's  why  Miss 
Phillips  and  Walter  keep  three  plots  mov- 
ing at  the  same  time.  One  may  be  at  its 
climax,  another  nearing  full  swing,  and 
a  third  barely  in  formation. 

"It's  peculiar  in  radio,"  Miss  Phillips 
says.  "You  never  can  reach  a  real  climax 
as  you  can  in  a  short  story  or  a  novel.  A 
radio  serial  is  like  real  life;  each  day 
may  have  its  high  point  for  any  individual. 
Life  does  not  reach  a  true  climax  until 
death." 

And  as  Irna  Phillips,  Walter  Wicker. 
Bess  Johnson  and  Ireene  Wicker  are  in- 
deed in  the  midst  of  life,  they  manage  to 
keep  their  radio  characters  in  Today's 
Children  moving  along  well  in  the  middle 
of  the  radio  parade  with  a  legion  of  inter- 
ested spectators  watching  and  cheering' 
them  on.

he  came  in  to  make  his  morning  call. 
"Good  stuff !"  he  said.  "You've  got  to 
have  a  hobby,  you  know.  Any  kind  of 
hobby.  You  must  have  some  vital  interest 
to  occupy  your  time  and  thought." 

I  glared  at  him.  "Occupy  my  time?" 
I  laughed.  "There's  less  than  three  months 
now.  Doc.  My  job  is  to  lie  here  and  wait 
for  the  old  man  with  the  scythe,  isn't  it?" 

This  doctor — he's  known  all  over  the 
world  for  his  knowledge  and  experience 
in  fighting  tuberculosis — smiled.  "Hold 
on,"  he  said.  "You're  not  dead  yet,  by  a 
long  shot.  Maybe  we'll  force  the  old  man 
to  a  detour.  But — "  His  keen  grey  eyes 
bored  into  mine,  "you'll  have  to  help." 

"Help  what?"  I  said. 

"Help  yourself.  You've  got  to  stop 
stewing  and  fretting!" 

"Easily  said !"  I  scoffed. 

"I  know,"  he  nodded.  "You're  not  the 
first  man  of  promise  and  ability  to  take 
the  count.  But  you  can  help  or  hinder  in 
the  fight.  You  can  aid  in  the  chase  of  the 
cure  we're  trying  to  make  if  you  want  to!" 

He  glanced  at  his  watch,  snapped  the 
radio  switch  and  twirled  the  dial.  "There's 
a  dandy  program."  he  said.  "You  might 
be  interested  to  know  that  the  man  who 
writes  the  advertising  and  continuity  for 
it  was  in  this  same  sanatorium  five  years 
ago." 

Interest  wasn't  the  word  for  the 
tingling  awareness  that  ran  through 
me.  "Writes"  ....  the  word  was  like 
a  whiff  of  smoke  to  an  old  fire-horse  that's 
doomed  to  the  soap  vat.  I'd  never  write 
again  and  I  envied  the  guy  who  did  with 
a  sickening  surge  of  despair.  And  yet — I 
was  listening  to  a  program  put  together 
by  a  man  who'd  lain  in  one  of  these  same 
beds  ....

great  abundance.  They  are  pure, 
pasteurized  yeast  —  and  pure 
yeast  is  the  richest  known  food 
source  of  vitamins  B  and  G. 
These  tablets  strengthen  the  di- 
gestive and  intestinal  organs, 
give  tone  and  vigor  to  your  ner-

IN  7-DAY 
MANICURE  TEST 


Test  proves  Chic  Nail  Polish  equal  to 
"salon"  polishes  costing  75c  or  more 


This  test  was  made  with  Chic,  costing  only 
10c,  on  one  hand  and  an  expensive  "salon" 
polish  on  the  other.  The  polishes  were  sup- 
plied in  plain  unlabeled  bottles,  simply  marked 
"A"  and  "B."  The  women  testing  them  did 
not  know  which  was  which. 


After  7  days'  wear  the  results  show — 


81%  find  Chic  equal  to  costly  salon  polishes 
or  better  .  .  .  and  wo  out  of  three  of  them 
say  Chic  is  actually  better  and  give  definite 
reasons  for  saying  so! 

This  test  proved  to  them  that  Chic  Nail  Polish 
applied  evenly  and  did  not  crack  or  peel  .  .  . 
that  Chic  retained  its  color  .  .  .  that  its  luster 
was  of  lasting  quality. 

You  can  make  this  simple  test  yourself  and 
discover  a  really  fine  polish  for  only  10c. 


AT  THE  10c  STORES

The  doctor  went  on  his  rounds. 

A  tenor  voice — I'd  never  had  a  yen  for 
tenors — began  "Auf  Wiedersehn."  Maybe 
I  was  wrong  about  tenors.  There  was  a 
peculiarly  beautiful  timbre  in  the  tones 
that  floated  out  of  the  little  brown  box. 
W  hen  he  had  finished  the  last  lovely  re- 
frain, I  grinned  at  the  radio  and  said : 
"Okay,  until  we  meet  again!  I'll  be  here. 
Mope  you  get  around  soon.  You  know 
your  stuff." 

Three  melodic  chimes  closed  that  pro- 
gram. It  was  too  much  effort  to  reach 
out  and  shut  off  the  radio,  so  I  lay  and 
listened  to  the  blamed  thing.  Listened  to 
household  hints,  child  training,  farm  prob- 
lems and  stock  reports !  Until  the  nurse 
came  in  with  my  mid-morning  nourish- 
ment and  snapped  off  the  set  with  the 
smiling  admonishment:  "Not  too  much  to 
begin  with." 

The  strains  of  the  song  I  bad  heard 
kept  lilting  through  my  mind.  I'd  listen 
to  that  bird  again,  I  thought,  and  dropped 
off  into  a  restful  doze. 

The  next  afternoon  during  quiet  hour, 
a  compulsory  rest  period  for  all,  I  broke 
the  rules  and  reached  for  the  dials.  I  could 
just  make  it. 

"Hello,  there !"  a  warm,  cheery  voice 
greeted  me.  "Busy  .  .  .  .No?  Well, 
mind  if  we  come  in  for  a  few  minutes  and 
visit  ?" 

Cheeky,  I  thought.  But  I'll  see  why 
you're  here. 

He  talked  on.  And  with  my  eyes  shut, 
the  illusion  of  a  friendly,  vital  personality 
right  there  in  the  room  was  complete. 
Then  he  read  a  bit  of  poetry  about 
"Where  do  the  lilacs  go"  that  was  to 
stick  in  my  head.  I  was  sorry  at  his 
"Goodbye.  Be  back  tomorrow  along  about 
a  quarter  of  .  .  .  ." 

Yeah,  I'd  be  here  when  he  came  back. 
Bitterness  swooped  down  upon  me  again. 
Oh,  yes,  I'd  be  here.  For  three  months. 
Maybe  .... 

The  days  passed.  My  interest  in  the 
radio  increased.  I  found  myself  playing 
with  it  as  a  child  plays  with  a  new  toy. 
Looking  forward  from  program  to  pro- 
gram. My  body  still  lay  sick  and  helpless, 
but  my  mind  had  turned  the  corner. 

I  was  no  longer  a  shut-in,  no  longer 
mentally  ill  and  despairing.  I  couldn't  go 
out  into  the  world,  but  now  the  world 
could  come  to  me.  The  little  brown  box 
brought  me,  not  only  an  absorbing  interest, 
but  a  new  set  of  friends. 

First,  the  announcers  with  their  pleasing 
voices,  gay  and  friendly,  their  perfect  dic- 
tion, that  never  grated  on  a  sick  man's 
ear.  I  liked  them  so  much  that  I  began 
to  play  a  game  with  myself.  That's  so 
and  so,  I'd  say  at  the  start  of  a  program. 
And  pretty  soon  I  was  patting  myself  on 
the  back  at  my  ability  to  put  names  with 
voices — and  get  'em  right. 

Then,  I  liked  the  swift  patter  of  the 
sports  announcers.  I'd  never  had  my  fill 
of  baseball  and  football.  In  the  old  days, 
I  had  to  leave  a  game,  inevitably,  before 
it  was  over  to  cover  an  assignment  or 
make  a  dead-line.  Now  I  enjoyed  the 
world  series — sans  expensive  admission — 
right  through.  I  never  missed  a  play  be- 
cause some  fat  man  obscured  my  vision. 
I  held  my  breath  on  tricky  plays,  and  sank 
back  on  my  pillows  at  the  game's  close 
instead  of  battling  crowds  for  a  street- 
car strap! 


And  bands!  All  my  life  I've  had  a 
kid's  hankering  for  parades— plus  some 
uncanny  power  of  stilling  the  bands  as 
they  drew  near.  Now  they  swung 
through  my  white-walled  room,  giving  me 
my  long-desired  fill  of  lusty  martial  music, 
of  drum-beat  and  fife!  I've  thought  since, 
that  those  swinging  marches  I  kept  time 
to  did  a  lot  for  me.  There's  the  beat  of 
victory  in  every  good  march. 

In  time  I  knew  every  splendid  program 
that  comes  over  the  networks.  I  boarded 
Captain  Henry's  Show  Boat  on  the  Mis- 
sissippi ;  I  went  to  the  Little  Theatre  off 
Times'  Square;  I  waited,  impatiently,  for 
Admiral  Byrd  to  drop  in  from  the  South 
Pole.  Vicarious  living,  maybe — but  living! 

I'd  been  in  the  San  nine  weeks  when 
my  doctor  lingered  at  my  bedside,  past 
the  routine  call. 

"Well,  young  fellow."  His  eyes  glinted 
through  his  glasses.  "You're  not  doing 
so  badly.  I  don't  think  the  old  man  with 
the  scythe  will  get  here  in  the  prophesied 
three  months." 

My  mouth  was  dry.  I  couldn't  ask  him 
what  he  meant.  Couldn't  ask  him  if  I  had 
a  reprieve  from  early  doom.    He  went  on: 

"Just  keep  up  the  good  work,  and  I 
may  have  some  pretty  good  news  for  you. 
In  the  meantime,  what  about  something 
to  read?  Not  too  much — something  light 
and  interesting?" 

"I'd  like  some  radio  magazines,"  I  told 
him.  Something  to  read,  when  I'd  been 
starved  for  the  printed  word  for  so  long! 
"These  friends  of  mine  who  come  to  me 
over  the  air  are  good  friends.  I  want 
to  know  them  better." 

And  at  the  end  of  three  months :  "I 
don't  have  to  tell  you  that  you're  better," 
he  said  brusquely.  "You've  got  a  long  way 
to  go  yet,  but  you're  going  to  get  there, 
son ! " 

"You  mean— get  well?"  I  asked. 

"Can  do."  As  far  as  I  was  concerned, 
he  spoke  with  the  tongue  of  angels. 
"When  the  radio  and  I  began  on  you,  we 
hadn't  much  to  work  on.  You'd  given  up. 
Mind  you,  I'm  not  blaming  you.  .  .  . 
But  now — now  you've  got  an  interest. 
You've  learned  to  relax,  listen  and  rest 
while  the  healing  process  goes  on."  He 
grinned  cherubically.  "You're  licking  those 
bugs.  You're  prettv  much  of  a  guy,  after 
all." 

"You  tell  my  wife  that,"  I  whis- 
pered. "Yes — I'm  going  to  get  there, 
Doc  .   .  .  ." 

We  were  both  right.  From  that  day  on, 
my  condition  improved  incredibly.  Now, 
I'm  well  on  the  road  to  complete  recov- 
ery. So  much  so  that  two  weeks  ago  I 
went  back  to  Kansas  City  for  a  short 
visit.  And  on  my  return  to  the  San,  the 
check-up  examination  gave  me  the  best 
news  I've  ever  heard. 

One  lung  is  completely  healed ;  the  other 
is  healing  fast.  A  few  months  more,  and 
I'll  be  able  to  resume  a  normal  life.  My 
wife  and  I  are  already  planning  our  new 
home;  the  purchasing  of  another  news- 
paper out  here  in  the  glorious  west ;  the 
rebuilding  of  our  life  together. 

And  that,  you  radio  people,  is  what 
you've  done  for  me.  You've  given  plenty 
of  pleasure  to  all  the  millions  who  tune 
in  on  you,  nightly.  But  to  me,  infinitely 
more. 

I  wasn't  just  down  and  out.  I  was  ■ 
doomed.   And  you  gave  me  my  reprieve! 


RADIO  STARS 


i  sne  of  the  most  ardent  pacifists  in  Amer- 
>  ica  today.  And  he  has  done  everything 
in  his  power  to  publicize  such  works  as 
"All  Quiet  On  The  Western  Front"  and 
'Journey's  End"  which,  as  he  phrased  it 
50  remarkably  one  evening  over  the  radio, 
'took  the  nose  of  the  world  and  rubbed 
it  on  war." 

Returning  from  overseas,  he  became  the 
dramatic  critic  of  the  Neiv  York  Tribune, 
and  subsequently  the  Nnv  York  World. 
It  was  at  this  time  that  he  was  fired  with 
imbition  to  master  the  fine  art  of  living. 
Feeling  strongly  that  an  artist  of  life  is 
not  a  man  of  one  interest,  but  rather  a 
person  of  wide  versatility,  Woollcott  di- 
rected his  talents  through  many  varied 
channels. 

Besides  being  an  excellent  newspaper- 
man and  critic,  he  distinguished  himself 
as  an  author  of  a  number  of  books  on 
the  theatre,  as  well  as  one  of  dog  stories, 
kn  collaboration  with  George  S.  Kauf- 
man, he  wrote  a  play  which  did  not  re- 
main long  enough  on  the  boards  to  bring 
him  over  from  the  critical  to  the  creative 
side  of  the  theatre,  but  the  playwriting 
germ  was  not  exterminated  by  this  un- 
successful experience.  Recently  another 
play  of  his,  again  written  with  the  ubi- 
quitous George  S.  Kaufman,  was  produced 
and  subsequently  appeared  in  the  movies 
as  "The  Man  With  Two  Faces,"  with  Ed- 
ward G.  Robinson  in  the  principal  role. 
And  as  though  these  achievements  were 
not  sufficient  to  round  out  a  man's  act- 
ivities, Woollcott  also  distinguished  him- 
self as  a  teacher  of  drama,  as  a  lecturer 
and  as  an  actor — if  sprawling  on  a  couch 
for  three  acts  of  a  play  can  be  called 
acting ! 

It  had  long  been  Woollcott's  threat,  dur- 
ing his  days  on  the  Neiv  York  World, 
that  he  would  some  day  leave  Broadway 
forever  to  accept  the  offer  of  professor- 
ship which  his  alma  mater,  Hamilton  Col- 
lege, was  persistently  urging  on  him.  He 
rather  fancied  the  sound  of  "Professor 
Alexander  Woollcott."  When  he  left  the 
New  York  World,  at  last,  it  was  with 
the  avowed  intention  of  taking  up  the 
academic  cudgels.  But  to  seclude  himself 
in  a  college  did  not  fit  into  his  philosophy 
of  making  an  art  of  life.  For  he  felt 
that  to  enjoy  living  as  fully  and  as  richly 
as  he  wished,  he  would  have  to  remain  on 
what  his  colleague,  Walter  Winchell,  calls 
the  grandest  of  the  grand  canyons.  The 
lure  of  the  first  night  and  the  appeal  of 
his  innumerable  friends  were  important 
factors  in  making  Woollcott's  life  artis- 
tically successful. 

One  of  the  chief  charms  of  Woollcott 
is  that,  in  spite  of  the  years  of  contact 
with  the  hardest-boiled  of  streets,  Broad- 
wax,  and  the  two  hardest-boiled  of  pro- 
fessions, journalism  and  the  theatre,  he, 
himself,  is  by  no  means  hard-boiled.  He 
has  an  infinite  capacity  for  softness  and 
sentimentality  that  are  contagious.  He  has 
one  of  the  most  tender  hearts  along  Broad- 
way. Probably  that  is  only  because  a  fel- 
low who  enjoys  life  and  living  as  much 
as  Woollcott  does,  cannot  possess  hardness 
towards  anyone. 

If  you  were  to  ask  Alexander  Woollcott 
his  formula  for  making  living  a  fine  art. 
he  would  probably  sum  up  his  philosophy 
—a  result  of  his  own  life  experience — as 
"Being  enthusiastic  about  everything  in

an  active  mind  which  reflects  itself  in 
dramatic  '  facial  expression.  Every  day 
droves  of  pretty  girls  knock  at  the  studio 
doors  of  artists,  but  precious  few  get  as 
far  as  the  model's  stand.  Facial  expres- 
sion alone  is  not  enough,  a  dramatic  body 
is  also  necessary  .  .  .  one  that  is  alive  and 
responsive  to  the  very  tips  of  the  fingers 
and  the  ends  of  the  toes.  Quite  a  large 
order  for  Radio's  Queen  to  measure  up 
to,  but  she  does  .  .  .  every  five  feet  six 
inches  of  her  one  hundred  and  twenty 
pounds ! 

That  leads  me  to  the  point  I  want  to 
stress,  for  the  "alive,  vital"  quality  which 
is  so  much  a  part  of  Miss  Page's  person- 
ality is  due  to  a  great  extent  to  perfect 
health,  exuberant,  huoyant  health !  Few 
of  Dorothy's  admirers  would-  suspect  that 
she  was  a  Tartar  of  a  girl  in  her  growing- 
up  stage,  and  that  at  sixteen  she  was 
passing  Red  Cross  life  tests  that  enabled 
her,  eight  years  ago,  to  save  the  life  of 
a  nineteen-year-old  girl  who  fell  into  the 
Lehigh  River  in  Pennsylvania,  Dorothy's 
home  state.  For  one  hour  Dorothy  strug- 
gled to  bring  her  to  safety.  We  didu't 
get  this  story  from  the  modest  Dorothy 
.  .  .  but  she  did  admit  to  a  sincere  belief 
in  swimming  as  the  most  perfect  health 
(and  figure)  exercise  you  can  take.  It 
develops  all  the  muscles,  instead  of  con- 
centrating on  the  over-development  of  a 
few  of  the  muscles,  and  thus  contributes 
to  the  development  of  a  beautifully 
rounded  figure.  From  diving  boards  to 
beauty  thrones  was  not  such  a  long  jump 
for  Dorothy. 

The  Radio  Queen  loves  tennis,  horse- 
back riding,  bicycle  riding,  and  flying. 
During  her  school  days  she  devoted  much 
of  her  extra-curricular  activities  to  ath- 
letics, once  winning  a  cup  as  a  member  of 
a  track  team.  We're  telling  all  her  secrets ! 
But  we  want  all  you  athletically  inclined 
girls  to  take  new  pride  in  your  prowess, 
and  some  of  you  exercise-backsliders  to 
take  a  word  of  advice  from  the  throne. 
Beauty  goes  hand-in-hand  with  health. 

Not  until  the  advent  of  the  talkies  and 
the  radio,  was  the  importance  of  a  beauti- 
ful voice  fully  realized.  Miss  Page  has 
a  lovely  throaty  voice  with  a  musical  lilt 
that  seems  to  fit  her  personality.  If  only 
all  of  us  could  listen  to  a  recording  of 
our  voices,  what  surprises  would  be  in 
store  for  us.  Such  a  chopping  off  of 
words,  and  slovenly  pronunciation!  Un- 
doubtedly we  would  be  a  bit  tense  in  our 
excitement  while  we  were  talking  into  the 
microphone,  and  the  result  would  only  in- 
tensify the  shrill  qualities  in  our  voices. 
Keep  yourself  and  your  voice  relaxed; 
that  is  the  first  rule  for  a  successful 
audition  before  the  radio  or  on  the  stage. 
Don't  swallow  your  words.  Pronounce  the 
"ings"  and  Vs."  Watch  yourself.  Catch 
yourself  up  everytime  your  voice  fades 
away  into  indistinct  nothingness  when 
you're  talking  to  someone,  or  heightens 


into  grating  shrillness.  A  low  voice  is  well 
worth  cultivating — for  your  own  sake  and 
others,  and  so  is  distinct  enunciation. 

Of  course  you're  interested  in  the  kind 
of  complexion  that  goes  with  the  Titian 
hair  .  .  .  and  how  Dorothy  enhances  it. 
Her  complexion  is  fair,  with  the  clarity 
of  health  and  perfect  cleansing.  She  lives 
a  simple,  healthful  life  in  her  attractive 
North  Side  apartment  in  Chicago,  and 
her  complexion  is  the  result  of  wise  diet, 
exercise,  and  perfect  care;  her  make-up 
the  result  of  skill.  She  uses  an  eyebrow 
pencil  just  enough  to  give  her  brows  a 
firm  arched  line,  which  she  plucks  very 
little,  and  which  conforms  to  the  natural 
contour  of  her  brows.  She  is  very  carefu 
to  maintain  her  own  beautiful  lip  line,  an< 
her  lipstick  only  outlines  it.  She  blends  hei 
eyeshadow  from  the  edge  of  the  eyelid 
where  it  is  deepest,  out  toward  the  brow 
subtly  shading  it  off  into  the  skin  as  i 
gets  nearer  the  brow. 

Miss  Page's  use  of  make-up  remind; 
me  of  the  story  a  very  famous  artist': 
model  once  told  me.  She  said  that  whei 
she  got  her  first  call  asking  her  to  conn 
to  pose,  she  spent  two  hours  making  uj 
her  face  and  getting  ready  generally  t< 
make  a  great  hit.  She  fixed  up  her  lashes 
and  smeared  rouge  on  her  lips,  and  ar 
ranged  her  hair  in  a  cross  between  th> 
old  Theda  Bara  vamp  style  and  Mary  Pick 
ford's  curls.  Ordinarily  she  wore  her  hai 
in  soft,  loose  waves  like  those  of  Mis 
Page.  What  happened?  When  she  wen 
in  the  artist  told  her  to  wash  her  fac< 
and  start  making-up  to  be  herself!  Make 
up  should  enhance  you  .  .  .  the  personalit 
that  is  yours! 

Cosmetic  manufacturers  have  done  a  lc

Exposing  Eddie 

Cantor, 
Trouble-Maker 

(Continued  from  page  17) 

"He  gave  in  because  he  was  wrong.  I 
have  had  many  arguments,  but  I  never 
knew  a  big  man  who  was  not  willing  to 
admit  he  was  wrong  if  he  was.  It's  the 
test  of  bigness." 

A  year  later  Eddie  was  again  in  a  situ- 
ation. He  did  not  pull  his  punches. 

That  was  in  1919,  when  the  Actors 
Equity  was  striking  in  New  York.  Eddie 
was  playing  in  the  Follies,  not  as  the  lead, 
"but  in  a  very  good  part." 

But  there  was  this  strike  business.  It 
worried  Eddie.  A  great  many  of  his 
friends  were  involved.  He  went  up  to 
Ziegfeld  and  asked  him  if  he,  the  great 
Ziegfeld,  was  aligned  with  the  other  man- 
agers. Ziegfeld  replied  that  of  course  he 
was.  And  Eddie,  certain  that  he  was 
right,  didn't  think,  but  swung— with  all 
his  might.  He  swung  on  his  heel,  turned 
his  back  on  the  Follies.  The  Follies,  apex 
of  any  comedian's  career  in  those  days. 

As  he  talked,  he  forgot  his  exercise,  to 
the  great  displeasure  of  Frenchy.  But 
Eddie  disregarded  his  valet  and  went  on 
talking.  He  told  the  story  now  of  his 
resignation  from  the  Presidency  of  the 
National  Vaudeville  Association. 

The  Association  was  hard  up,  trying  to 
raise  money.  They  passed  baskets  up  and 
down  the  aisles  of  the  theatres.  Eddie 
didn't  like  this  very  much.  He  said  it  low- 
ered the  prestige  of  the  actors,  disturbed 
the  audience,  annoyed  the  managers.  He 
thought  the  Association  could  raise  the 
money  it  needed  through  benefits.  The 
Committee  in  charge  of  the  fund  raising 
promised  him  there  would  be  no  more 
basket  collections.  They  didn't  keep  their 
word.

Pain  stops. ..and  healing  begins 
when  you  treat  a  burn  this  way 


Unguentine  wastes  no  time.  It  relieves  the  agoniz- 
ing pain  . .  .  quickly!  It  soothes  . . .  at  once! 


But  that  is  only  o/ze  virtue  of  this  famous 
first-aid  necessity.  Unguentine  is  a 
trustworthy,  effective,  germ -de - 


si  roymg  antiseptic  for  all  types 
of  skiu  injuries.  Hospitals 
use  it.  So  do  doctors  and 
first-aid  nurses  in  indus- 
trial plants.  It  is  the  ideal 
first-aid  dressing— because 
it  not  only  allays  pain  but  stays  on  the  job 
continuously  to  safeguard  against  infection. 

FIRST  THOUGHT  IN  FIRST  AID 

For  burns,  scalds,  cuts,  scrapes,  scratches, 
pimples,  irritations,  any  skin  injury. 
Unguentine  is  the  first  thought  of  millions 
of  people  in  first  aid.  It  is  the  all-pit  i  pose 
antiseptic.  It  will  not  smart  or  sting.  It  will 
not  stain  the  skin.  Nor  will  Unguentine 
dressings  grow  into  the  wound,  stick  to  the 


scab,  cause 
needless  pain  and 
interrupt  healing,  when 
you  remove  them. 
Unguentine,  the  antiseptic  in 
ointment  form,  stays  in  prolonged  and 
effective  contact,  soothing  the  hurt,  exclud- 
ing air  from  the  sensitive  area,  and  safeguard- 
ing against  infection  and  dread  re-infection. 

CONTAINS  PARAHYDRECIN 

Unguentine  is  reliably  antiseptic  because  it  con- 
tains powerful  antiseptic  ingredients,  notably,  Para- 
hydrecin.  Tins  remarkable  substance  is  destructive 
to  germs  in  a  dilution  as  great  as  1  part  to  1 0.UUO  parts 
yet  does  not  harm  or  irritate  human  or  animal  tis- 
sue. Parahydrecin,  the  discovery  of  the  Norwich 
laboratories,  is  exclusively  confined  to  Norwich 
products:  I'nguenline,  Norforms  and  Norwich  Nose 
Drops.  No  other  products  contain  it.  Remtmber  thai.

When  Eddie  found  out,  there  was  the 
devil  and  all  his  imps  to  pay.  Eddie  wound 
up  his  tirade  witli  the  ancient  salutation 
to  a  boss — "I  quit."  He  did. 

Right  now  Eddie  is  at  war  with  the 
radio  critics  of  several  of  New  York's 
newspapers.  Where  and  when  and  how  the 
dispute  began  no  one  seems  to  know 
definitely.  Eddie  himself  is  not  quite  clear. 

The  story  comes  to  me,  that  Eddie,  after 
due  or  undue  reflection,  stated  baldly  that 
New  York's  radio  critics  were  a  tribe  of 
log-rollers.  That  was  just  one  man's 
opinion.  But  apparently  it  was  poison  to 
the  critics.  They  have  either  ignored  or 
attacked  him  ever  since. 

Eddie  said  that  he  used  the  old  Cantor 
technique  only  after  he  had  been  reading 
their  columns  of  criticism  for  many 
months.  It  was  plain  to  this  graduate 
from  Broadway  that  the  critics  tooted  the 
horn  loudly  for  each  other's  radio  favor- 
ites, using  their  bad  words  for  plays  and 
performances  of  other  people,  folks  who 
stood  outside  the  charmed  circle. 

He  called  them  log-rollers.  Which,  after 
all,  is  no  great  insult  inasmuch  as  we  are 
all  log-rollers,  more  or  less.  If  you  don't 
know  what  the  expression  means :  A  log- 
roller  is  a  man  who  says  to  you — you  help 
me  roll  my  log  and  when  you  have  a  log  to 
roll,  I'll  help  you.  Log-rolling  is  just 
human  nature  and  nothing  to  get  excited 
about. 

The  critics,  however,  are  still  peeved. 
Not  so  long  ago,  just  about  the  time 
Eddie  was  in  Hollywood  making  a  picture, 
one  of  them  ran  a  line  in  his  column  to 
the  effect  that  Cantor  was  being  threatened 
by  kidnappers.  Mrs.  Cantor,  back  in  New 
York,  read  it.  The  whole  family  read  it. 
They  were  frantic,  threw  things  into  suit- 
cases and  got  ready  to  fly  to  California. 

Over  the  telephone  Eddie  assured  them 
that  the  line  in  the  paper  was  pure  inven- 
tion. Then  he  swung.  He  called  Washing- 


ton, complained  to  the  Attorney  Central. 
And  lo,  the  critic  who  penned  the  line  was 
sent  for — warned  not  to  repeat  the  offense. 

While  this  conversation  was  in  progress, 
Frenchy  has  pummeled  the  Cantor  stomach, 
kneaded  the  arms  and  legs,  put  his  master 
through  a  series  of  abdominal  exercises. 
As  this  goes  on,  the  telephone  rings  con- 
stantly. Names  prominent  in  theatrical 
life  are  on  the  wire. 

"Get  that  song,"  Eddie  orders.  In  an- 
other case,  he  remarks,  "It  would  be  swell 
if  he  could  get  the  chorus.  Yes,  rehearse 
it."  The  telephone  rings  again  and  the 
speaker  is  someone  far  from  Broadway 
and  you  are  shocked  to  hear  this  city- 
bred  man  say  into  the  transmitter,  "Yes, 
I  want  three  Guernsey  calves,  the  best  you 
have."  So  Eddie  has  gone  in  for  farming! 

Exercise  and  massage  over,  Eddie  gets 
off  the  bed  and  goes  to  the  bathroom.  I 
waited  for  him  in  the  bedroom  and  I  can 
swear  that  Eddie  Cantor  does  not  sing  in 
the  bathtub.  Out  of  the  bath  he  comes  at 
length,  steps  into  shorts,  slips  on  a  purple 
bathrobe  and  is  prepared  to  go  below  where 
several  people  are  waiting  for  him. 

All  this  takes  place  in  the  broad  rec- 
tangular bedroom  overlooking  Central 
Park.  The  room  is  careless  with  clothes 
scattered  here,  there  and  on  the  chairs. 
The  hour  is  12  :30  and  Eddie  has  not  been 
up  very  long.  He  goes  to  the  dresser,  puts 
some  brill iantine  on  his  finger  tips  and  the 
Cantor  mop  of  black  curly  hair  becomes 
sleek  and  shiny  as  we  all  know  it. 

The  door  opens  and  in  scampers  a 
daughter,  leaps  into  Papa's  arms.  They 
hug  each  other.  He  spanks  her  playfully, 
then  shoos  her  off  with  "Goodbye  Sloppy." 

Down  the  baronial  stairs  goes  Kddie. 
Tapestries  hang  in  the  foyer.  Off  the 
foyer,  his  guests  are  waiting.  They  wait 
in  a  drawing-room  eighty  feet  long.  Eddie 
is  still  in  his  bathrobe.  The  day  for 
Cantor  has  begun. 


Wide  World 


Eddie  Cantor  and  his  "gang" — mama  and  all  the  little  Cantors.  Eddie 
bids  them  so  long  till  he  returns  from  Europe  where  he  is  vacationing

gasoline  throughout  The  Dells,  Chicago's 
most  widely  known  roadhouse,  and  set 
fire  to  it.  The  roadhouse  from  which 
Jake  Factor  was  kidnapped  eighteen 
months  ago  burned  to  the  ground  with  a 
loss  of  $150,000.  The  fire  was  believed 
to  be  the  result  of  warfare  between  gang- 
sters having  an  interest  in  reopening  it. 
A  dozen  or  more  night  clubs  have  been 
destroyed  in  Chicago  the  last  two  years 
with  a  loss  of  more  than  a  million  dol- 
lars. Among  these  have  been  the  Gran- 
ada Cafe,  where  Guy  Lombardo  first  made 
history ;  the  Frolics  where  Abe  Lyman  got 
his  start;  the  225  Club  where  Sophie 
Tucker  often  played;  the  Winter  Garden, 
the  Opera  Club  and  the  Moulin  Rouge. 

All  of  these  spots  had  radio  lines  in 
them  except  the  225  Club.  But  most 
famous  for  its  radio  associations  was  the 
Dells.  During  the  prohibition  days  Coon- 
Sanders  held  forth  summer  after  summer 
there.  Ted  Weems,  Ben  Bernie,  and  Car- 
los Molina  were  some  of  the  others.  The 
Factor  kidnapping  occurred  during  the 
Lombardo's  tenure.  Last  summer  Eddie 
Duchin  was  engaged  to  play  there,  but  on 
the  opening  night,  States  Attorney  Court- 
ney prevented  it  from  opening. 

Late  last  summer  it  finally  was  opened 
under  the  aegis  of  Al  Goodman,  proprie- 
tor of  New  York's  famous  Woodmansten 
Inn,  with  Carlos  Molina  providing  the 
music.  But  it  flopped  because  it  was  un- 
able to  secure  a  liquor  license.  Such  is 
the  history  of  the  famed  Dells.

Another  one  of  those  girl  directed

This  time  it's  the  Pickens  Sisters  Or-

Those  vocalists  on  the  three-hour  dance

known  as  the  Men  About  Town  and  the 
Happy  Wonder  Bakers.  It's  up  to  them  to

arrived  with  his  mother,  Ethel  Shutta, 
and  brother,  Charles,  seven  years  old,  to 
join  his  father  in  Chicago,  there  were 
several  reporters  and  photographers  at  the 
station  to  greet  them.  A  camera  man  was 
about  to  set  up  his  tripod  in  front  of  the 
Olsen  clan  when  the  five-year-old  held  up 
his  hand  in  protest.  "No  pictures,  today," 
lie  announced. 

There  was  a  rumor  when  this  was  writ-

own  band  and  might  be  in  the  Rainbow

Cobum. 


If  a  very  small  shoulder 
carries  a  chip  .  •  • 


Defiant  .  .  .  cross  as  a  bear  .  .  .  when 
your  child  has  "days"  like  this,  take 
warning! 

You  may  think  it  is  "just  a  passing  mood." 
But  all  too  often  there's  a  physical  cause  for 
a  child's  naughtiness.  And  usually  it  is  simply 
— constipation. 

Give  a  Child's  Laxative 

Or  perhaps  your  child  has  sour  stomach. 
Maybe  she  is  catching  cold.  In  any  event  it  is 
a  wise  precaution  to  give  her  a  laxative.  Not 
an  adult  laxative  which  may  cause  her  grip- 
ing pain,  or  leave  her  more  upset  than  before 
.  .  .  but  a  child's  laxative.  Give  her  Fletcher's 
Castoria! 

Fletcher's  Castoria  is  made  especially  for 
children — from  babyhood  to  11  years.  It  is 
safe — contains  no  harsh  purgatives,  no  nar- 
cotics. It  is  gentle.  It  is  effective.  And  it  has 
a  pleasant  taste,  so  that  children  take  it  with- 
out a  struggle  .  .  .  actually  enjoy  taking  it! 

Ask  your  doctor 

Next  time  you  see  your  doctor  for  your  child's 
regular  health  examination,  ask  him  about 
Fletcher's  Castoria.  He  will  assure  you  that 
Fletcher's  Castoria  contains  only  such  ingre- 
dients as  are  suitable  for  a  child's  system. 

Buy  a  bottle  of  Fletcher's  Castoria  tonight. 
(If  you're  thrifty  you'll  buy  the  family-size 
bottle.)  Keep  it  handy,  always,  for  relieving 
colic  due  to  gas,  diarrhea  due  to  improper 


diet,  sour  stomach,  flatulence  and  constipa- 
tion. And  give  it  as  a  first  aid  at  the  first  sign 
of  a  cold.  The  signature  Ghas.  II.  Fletcher 
is  always  right  on  the  carton.

Carlos  Molina  held  a  contest  to  select  a

Molina  finally  narrowed  the  choice  down 
to  a  girl  and  a  boy,  but  he  couldn't  decide 
which  he  liked  best.  So  he  kept  both.  They 
are  Russell  Byrd  and  Loraine  Anderson. 
Molina  opened  at  the  Miami  Biltmore  on 
Christmas  day.

That  Famous  Bedside  Broadcast 

(Continued  from  pat/e  43) 


experience  in  any  woman's .  life,  caused 
even  so  much  of  a  ripple  of  intrusion  on 
her  professional  career. 

Of  what  stuff  is  such  a  woman  made? 
You  know,  of  course,  that  she  has  pluck, 
nerve,  stamina  and  strength.  Maxine 
Garner  has  much  more  than  that.  She  has 
quiet  self-assurance,  great  determination, 
unswerving  faith  and  that  cheerful  opti- 
mism that  springs  of  perfect  physical  and 
emotional  health.  No,  there  is  not  an 
ounce  of  foolhardiness  in  her.  You  see, 
she  had  the  full  sanction  of  her  physician 
in  doing  this  dramatic  thing.  Probably 
these  broadcasts  from  the  bedside  of  a 
brand-new  mother  would  never  have  come 
to  pass  if  that  physician  had  not  been  a 
woman  herself.  With  her  woman's  intui- 
tion she  saw  that  what  would  have  been 
an  impossible  ordeal  for  999  women 
would  be  only  a  postscript  to  a  normal 
experience  for  Maxine  Garner.  Her 
physician  put  over  the  point  of  view  that 
motherhood  is  the  most  normal  and  natu- 
ral thing  in  a  woman's  life,  confirming 
Maxine's  feeling  in  this  matter,  as  no  man 
could  have  done. 

And  when  the  moment  came  to  be 
taken  to  the  delivery  room,  though  she 
was  in  great  agony,  a  voice  within  her 
spoke  quietly :  "Everything  will  be  all 
right." 

But  let  me  tell  this  story  from  the  be- 
ginning. Maxine  Garner  and  Louis  Nel- 
son were  happily  married.  Of  course,  the 
first  flush  of  romance  was  gone  after  a 
half  dozen  years  together.  Maxine  was 
honest  with  herself.  She  wanted  a  ca- 
reer, yes,  but  she  wanted  also  what  every 
woman  wants — motherhood. 

When  she  learned  that  she  was  going 
to  have  a  baby,  she  and  her  husband  be- 
came the  happiest  pair  in  the  world.  Louis 
wanted  a  boy.  Maxine  wanted  to  please 
him.  And  soon  she  believed  that  her  baby 
would  surely  be  a  boy.  After  all,  Katha- 
rine Avery,  her  radio  partner,  had  had  two 
boys  by  merely  deciding  that's  what  they 
would  be.    (So  she  said.) 

Life  began  to  take  on  new  meaning. 
Maxine  started  making  things  for  the 
precious  child  that  was  to  be  hers.  And 
as  she  dreamed,  her  radio  work  began  to 
take  on  added  importance,  too. 

Her  air  show,  the  Derma  drama  which 
is  heard  in  the  Chicago  area,  was  a  day- 
time sketch  directed  mainly  to  housewives 
and  mothers.  Motherhood  is  the  biggest 
thing  in  every  woman's  life.  Why  not 
dramatize  this  great  experience  for  her 


radio  audience?  Wouldn't  it  intrigue 
them  far  more  than  the  adventures  of  a 
girl  dancer  and  a  reporter  with  which  they 
were  concerning  themselves  in  the  sketch: 

Katharine  Avery  told  the  sponsor  how 
much  Maxine  wanted  to  stay  on  ever 
though  she  was  going  to  have  a  baby.  Sc 
she  was  told  she  might  have  whatever  tin* 
off  that  she  needed  when  the  baby  came 
Perhaps  that  could  be  cut  to  a  minimum  b; 
installing  microphones  at  the  bedside 
Katharine  volunteered,  acting  on  a  sug 
gestion  from  Maxine.  The  sponsor  ap 
proved,  as  did  CBS. 

So  the  baby  theme  was  promptly  intro 
duced  into  the  script.  The  leading  char 
acters — Sally  (Miss  Garner)  and  Jum 
(Miss  Avery)  learned  that  their  friend 
Poppy  Lee  Harrington  (also  played  b; 
Miss  Garner)  was  soon  to  have  a  baby 
Considerable  suspense  was  built  up  ove 
the  sex  of  the  expected  youngster  an< 
much  depended  on  it,  for  a  grandson  wa 
necessary  to  reconcile  Richard  Harring 
ton,  Sr.,  to  his  daughter-in-law,  Poppy. 

It's  easy  enough  to  handle  a  prospectiv 
baby  in  a  radio  sketch.  But  an  expectei 
baby  in  real  life  is  something  else  agair 
It  brings  on  plenty  of  complications  evei 
in  the  life  of  a  woman  who  has  no  caree 
on  her  hands. 

Put  yourself  in  Maxine's  place  durin; 
that  last  month  of  waiting.  Every  da; 
she  had  to  go  to  the  studios  at  a  set  tirm 
no  matter  how  she  felt.  Sensitive  as  out 
siders  are  about  the  appearance  of  ; 
woman  about  to  become  a  mother,  she 
herself,  is  tenfold  more  self -conscious 
Much  mental  courage,  as  well  as  the  shee 
physical  effort  involved,  was  required  t 
face  the  many  persons  she  knew  about  th 
studios. 

Engineers,  production  men,  sound  ef 
fects  experts  are  a  pretty  hard-shelled  lot 
There's  not  much  feeling  in  them  ordi 
narily.  But  actually  they  were  sorry  fo 
Maxine.  They  liked  her  and  were  wor 
ried  for  fear  that  she  had  tackled  some 
thing  she  couldn't  finish — they  wondere' 
where  it  would  all  end. 

But  prospective  babies  are  no  respecter 
of  plots.  They  refuse  to  let  either  se: 
or  time  of  arrival  to  be  influenced.  On 
day  the  doctor  announced  that  the  bab 
was  likely  to  appear  earlier  than  expectec 
So  events  in  the  plot  were  speeded  ur 
But  the  doctor  happened  to  be  wrong  an 
there  were  long  days  of  dismal  waiting. 

Two  weeks  dragged  on.  Then  came 
certain  Saturday.    There  were  unmistak 


RADIO  STARS 


ible  signs.  Any  other  woman  would  have 
ailed  her  physician  and  probably  been 
ushed  to  the  hospital. 

"Can  I  get  through  today?"  Maxine 
isked  herself.  She  thought  of  those  sto- 
ies  of  babies  born  in  taxicabs — a  dire  sort 
if  prospect. 

Call  it  intuition,  a  hunch,  or  whatever 
ou  will.  Maxine  had  the  feeling  that 
lie  baby  wouldn't  be  born  until  Sunday, 
he  only  day  she  wasn't  on  the  air. 

Ignoring  pain  and  swallowing  pride,  she 
lragged  herself  to  the  studios.  The  epi- 
.ode  for  that  day  was  made  to  chronicle 
'oppy's  going  to  the  hospital  to  have  her 
>aby. 

It  was  a  nerve-wracking  day  for  every- 
>ne  concerned — everybody  had  the  jitters. 
•Catharine  decided  to  go  to  the  country 
ind  just  wait.  The  production  men  or- 
lered  the  equipment  installed  in  Room  525 
it  Wesley  Hospital  where  reservations  had 
ieen  made. 

The  engineering  department  elected  Mil- 
on  Korf  to  handle  the  technical  end  of 
he  broadcast.  The  bachelors  were  a  little 
■kittish  about  tackling  such  an  assignment. 
);o  they  prevailed  on  their  boss  to  pick 
!<orf,  the  husband  of  an  ex-nurse,  as  the 
echnician  most  likely  to  have  the  proper 
>edside  manner. 

The  pains  eased  after  the  broadcast  and 
Maxine  returned  home  for  the  night,  still 
jonfident,  however,  that  the  next  day 
Aould  bring  her  baby. 

At  noon  Sunday  her  husband  took  her 
ko  the  hospital.  Even  as  she  lay  in  the 
;reat  white  room  suffering,  she  was  sus- 
ained  subconsciously  by  this  thing  she 
lad  determined  to  do.  Swimming  in  and 
nit  of  a  great  twilight,  she  was  aware  of 
much  pain,  and  also  a  consciousness  of 
ler  baby  boy  and  of  her  radio  plans,  "a 
;reat  big  thing  that  I  wanted  very  much 

0  go  on  doiug." 

Her  husband  paced  the  corridors,  as  has 
many  a  man  on  the  brink  of  paternity,  in 
ligh  nervousness  and  suspense,  wishing 
devoutly  that  such  pain  need  not  he. 

At  nine-thirty  in  the  evening  the  baby 
was  born.    It  was  a  girl. 

"I  had  such  a  funny  feeling,"  Maxine 
said  later,  "when  they  told  me  it  was  a 
girl.  I  was  so  bewildered.  Then  I 
started  crying.  .  .  ." 

When  she  opened  her  eyes  her  husband 
was  patting  her  hand. 

"I'll  try  to  do  better  the  next  time,"  she 
said  she  told  him.  "I  thought  I  was  an 
utter  failure." 

But  she  was  buoyed  up  when  she  saw  the 
voungster.  "You  know  it  seemed  to  me 
there  was  an  understanding  grin  on  her 
face  when  they  held  her  up  for  me." 

They  named  her  Sally  June  for  the  two 
leading  characters  in  the  sketch. 

"I  want  to  go  back  on  the  air  tomorrow," 
Maxine  told  her  husband.  He  felt  that 
it  would  be  O.K.  if  the  physician  ap- 
proved. Privately  Louis  was  tickled  pink- 
over  her  pluck.  He  felt  it  would  keep 
her  cheerful  in  the  face  of  disappointment. 

Only  her  mother's  approval  was  lacking. 
She  felt  that  Maxine  would  be  taking  a 
needless  hazard.  Besides,  her  mother  lives 
down  in  Dixie  where  any  didoes  that  lend 
themselves  to  publicity  are  frowned  upon. 

1  Maxine  had  intended  to  keep  the  whole 
broadcasting  plan  secret.  It  was  only 
through  the  sheerest  chance  that  I  learned 
about  it.)

At  nine  o'clock  Monday  morning  Kath- 
arine Avery  got  the  shock  of  her  life. 
Sleeping  late,  she  was  roused  hy  a  tele- 
phone call.  It  was  Maxine  Garner.  "I'm 
all  right  and  Dr.  Gregory  says  we  can 
broadcast.    You  better  come  right  down." 

Katharine  gulped — and  finally  managed 
to  stutter  a  few  words  and  say  that  she 
would  hurry. 

"Frankly,  I  wasn't  so  brave  myself 
when  I  had  my  babies,"  Katharine  con- 
fided. "I  wondered  whether  Maxine 
could  go  through  with  it." 

She  hurriedly  rewrote  the  script,  giving 
Poppy  Harrington's  baby  the  name  of  the 
real  baby,  Sally  June.  And  then  sped 
to  the  hospital. 

Certainly  the  laughing  and  jesting  Max- 
ine who  greeted  her  seemed  perfectly 
equal  to  the  ordeal  of  going  on  the  air. 

With  a  couple  of  satchels  of  equip- 
ment, Korf  put  in  an  appearance  and  set 
about  placing  the  microphones,  stringing 
wires  and  raising  complaints  about  echoes 
from  the  bare  walls.  Maxine  pointed  out 
screens  to  absorb  the  sound.  A  micro- 
phone was  suspended  from  a  cord  over 
her  head  like  a  Damoclean  sword. 

She  reminded  Katharine  to  call  up  the 
switchboard  so  that  no  calls  would  be 
put  through  and  to  arrange  for  the  X-ray 
machines  to  be  shut  off  lest  they  interfere 
with  the  broadcast  equipment.  Less  than 
a  day  removed  from  childbirth,  she 
thought  of  everything. 

The  girls  ran  over  their  lines  as  Korf 
tested  their  voices.  Katharine  almost 
swooned  when  she  suddenly  realized  that 
she  had  so  written  the  script  that  Maxine 
must  triple  in  roles.  But  Maxine  didn't 
mind. 

If  all  those  women  who  were  waiting  at 
their  radios  for  this  episode  of  the  Derma 
drama  might  have  viewed  this  scene 
wouldn't  their  hearts  have  skipped  a  flock 
of  beats,  though? 

Finally  came  the  two  rings  from  the 
studio — "get  ready."  The  little  madonna 
of  the  microphone  was  completely  equal 


to  the  task  she  had  set  herself  She  was 
in  high  spirits.  Her  face  looked  a  little 
Hushed,  she  was  excited  and  she  was 
happy. 

"I'd  like  to  do  it  this  way  all  the  time," 
Maxine  confided,  settling  back  on  her 
pillow  a  little  more  and  raising  her  script. 
Then  came  a  second  rini<  and  they  were  on 

the  air. 

"We  now  present  the  Derma  drama, 
brought  to  you  from  Room  525  of  the 
Weslc\  Memorial  Hospital,  Chicago.  .^E 
And  then  the  two  girls  went  into  the  story 

of  Poppy  Harrington's  baby. 

Katharine  Avery  had  a  tough  assign- 
ment in  this  script.  It  was  up  to  her  to 
make  Grand  father  Harrington  accept  a 
granddaughter  when  he  had  wanted  a 
grandson  and  to  change  Maxine's  attitude 
too,  if  she  could.  A  piece  of  deft  writing 
did  more  than  win  the  old  man  to  tl 
baby.  It  won  Maxine  Garner  completel) 
to  her  own  Sally  June.  And  you  whe 
have  been  disappointed  because  your  bo> 
was  a  girl,  or  vice  versa,  know  that  'I 
takes  a  little  time  to  accept  the  unex- 
pected. 

The  phone  jingled — the  amazing  broad- 
cast was  over.  Korf  pulled  off  his  head- 
phones. 

"That  squalling  was  fine — never  hearc 
any  that  was  better,"  he  asserted,  paying 
tribute  to  Katharine's  interpretation  of 
Sally  June's  cries. 

W  ith  the  broadcast  completed,  its  im- 
portance faded  swiftly  away.  The  radi 
ance  of  young'  motherhood  shone  upor 
Maxine's  face.  The  whole  fabric  of  hei 
life  had  been  rewoven  and  enriched.  Sh( 
asked  for  Sally  June.  Maxine  lookec 
down  upon  her  and  then  up  at  her  hus 
band  and  knew  that  life  was  infinitely 
sweet. 

The  broadcast  went  on  every  day  fron 
the  hospital  thereupon  without  incident 
A  few  weeks  later  I  met  Maxine. 

"Sally  June  is  the  sweetest  baby,"  sh< 
beamed.  "I  just  can't  imagine  how  I  eve 
could  have  wanted  a  boy."

TOO  LATE 
FOR  A  WIFE  TO  LEARN 


The  world  is  full  of  women  who  say  to 
themselves,  "  My  marriage  was  a  mis- 
take." No  scandal.  No  open  break.  Just 
submission  to  a  life  without  joy,  with- 
out hope. 

Many  women  give  up  hope  too  soon. 
These  cases  are  sad.  They  are  doubly 
sad  because  the  woman  has  largely  her- 
self to  blame.  No  wife  should  let  herself 
become  faint-hearted  about  marriage. 
She  should  go  right  after  the  real  facts. 

Times  have  changed.  The  days  when 
a  woman  was  compelled  to  use  a  poison- 
ous antiseptic,  or  none  at  all,  have  for- 
tunately passed.  The  trouble  is  that  some 
married  women  have  not  yet  learned  this. 

The  truth  about  antiseptics 
Of  course  women  do  not  want  to  use 
poisons.  Those  who  do  take  the  risks  of 
such  a  practice  are  simply  living  in  a 
past  age  before  modern  improvements 
in  antiseptics  had  been  announced  by 
the  medical  profession.  Any  excuse  for 
using  these  poisons  disappeared  when 
Zonitc  was  first  offered  in  drug  stores. 

Doctors  now,  without  reservation, 
recommend  the  practice  of  feminine  hy- 
giene. They  know  that  the  tragedies  are 
over.  They  are  confident  that  delicate 
tissues  will  not  be  burned  or  desensi- 
tized. No  lives  will  be  ruined  by  Zonite. 

Zonite  is  safe,  as  safe  as  pure  water. 
And  Zonite  is  powerful.  Taking  carbolic 
acid  as  the  standard  for  comparison, 


Zonite  is  far  more  powerful  than  any 
dilution  of  carbolic  acid  that  may  safely 
be  used  on  the  human  body. 

Also  Zonite  Suppositories 
Besides  the  liquid  Zonite  (three  sizes 
30V,  60?,  $1.00)  there  is  a  newer  form, 
Zonite  Suppositories.  These  are  $1.00  a 
dozen  or  35c1  a  box  of  three.  They  are 
dainty,  white,  cone-like  forms  which 
provide  continuing  antiseptic  action. 
Some  women  prefer  the  liquid  and  some 
the  suppositories.  Others  use  both. 
Be  sure  to  write  for  "Facts  for 
Women."  It  is  an  up- 
to-date  booklet  giving 
a  plain,  clear  state- 
ment on  the  whole  sub- 
ject of  feminine  hy- 
giene. An  actual

"Well,  let  me  tell  you  young  man  you've 
got  some  nerve.  The  idea  of  wasting  my 
time  with  this  dribble."  She  pushed  the 
card  under  Mark's  red  face  so  he  could 
re-read  his  note : 

"In  rain  or  snow, 
lit  weather  like  hell, 
I've  come  to  sell !" 

He  might  get  kicked  out  and  fired,  but 
he  decided  to  take  a  long  chance.  "Well, 
isn't  it  snowing ;  isn't  the  weather  like 
hell?  Am  I  not  here  to  sell?" 

Slowly  the  woman's  expression  changed. 
Then  she  laughed  and  ushered  the  be- 
wildered ex-musician  into  her  private 
office. 

Unabashed  he  told  her  of  his  career. 
She  listened  carefully  and  then  examined 
his  samples.  A  little  while  later  he  didn't 
walk  to  the  nearest  exit — he  ran.  In  his 
clenched  fist  was  a  large  order. 

When  he  showed  it  to  his.  father-in-law, 
the  man  almost  swooned.  For  months 
Rappaport's  crack  salesmen  had  been  try- 
ing to  sell  that  store  merchandise.  He 
off  ered  his  son-in-law  a  higher  office — head 
salesman.  Mark  refused.  He  was  going 
back  to  his  music.  For  weeks  a  symphony 
of  strings  had  been  reverberating  in  his 
head. 

Had  he  accepted  that  generous  offer 
from  Papa  Rappaport  he  might  be  sitting 
behind  a  polished  desk,  shouting  impressive 
orders  into  a  dictaphone  today.  He  might 
own  a  yacht,  a  summer  home  and  a  smart 
town  car.  But  Mark  missed  that  second 
strike  completely. 

STRIKE  THREE:  The  time:  Two 
years  ago.  The  place :  The  Columbia 
Broadcasting  System. 

Not  long  after,  a  friend  told  him  of 
several  openings  on  the  staff  of  this  great 
network.  Fearfully  Mark  asked  for  a  job 
as  a  violinist.  Never  again  would  he 
aspire  to  the  exalted  position  of  musical 
director.  He  preferred  solid  ground  and 
obscurity. 

Radio  is  unlike  any  other  entertainment. 
Opportunities  are  broader.  Overnight  a 
nobody  can  suddenly  become  a  shining  star 
that  ten  million  people  will  idolize.  The 
next  day  his  contract  may  be  cancelled  and 
the  same  ten  million  people  won't  care. 

Mark  was  rehearsing  on  a  sustaining 
program  when  Fate  slid  through  the  stage 
door  to  make  her  dramatic  entrance.  The 
hubbub  and  confusion  that  usually  sur- 
rounds these  radio  rehearsals  was  louder 
than  ever.  The  conductor  had   failed  to 


make  an  appearance.  The  show  was  to  gc 
on  the  air  in  two  hours.  There  was  ; 
hurry  call  for  volunteers. 

In  a  Hash  Mark  recalled  the  disastrou 
situation  that  had  occurred  in  the  Para 
mount  Theatre.  But  this  chance  was  to 
much  for  him.  Impulsively  his  arm  sho 
up.  Then  he  saw  the  face  of  his  wife.  H 
heard  her  soft  pleading  voice,  "Don't  d 
it,  Mark !  All  I  want  is  peace,  my  chil 
dren,  and  you." 

In  a  daze,  he  approached  the  studi 
manager.  It  was  a  strange  voice  that  said 
"I  can  direct  this  show.  I'll  do  it  on  on 
condition." 

The  noise  stopped.  All  eyes  centered  o 
Mark. 

"What's  the  condition?"  queried  th 
amazed  manager. 

"After  I  finish  the  show  you'll  let  rr 
go  back  to  the  band." 

The  simple  request  was  granted.  Mar 
picked  up  the  baton,  then  scornfully  thrt 
it  away.  He  used  a  chewed  off  pencil. 

The  program  went  on  the  air  without 
hitch.  Several  Columbia  executives  heai 
it  and  wanted  to  know  who  conducted  ; 
smoothly. 

W  hen  he  was  brought  to  them  they  coi 
gratulated  him.  "You'll  get  a  promotir 
for  this,"  they  told  Mark. 

Strike  three  had  whizzed  past,  Mai 
could  have  batted  the  opportunity  for 
home  run.  But  he  had  too  good  a  memor 
He  wouldn't  take  the  chance,  it  wasi  I 
worth  it.  Humbly  he  returned  to  t 
orchestra. 

EPILOGUE  :  Today  at  thirty-two.  Ma 
Warnow  occupies  an  important  niche 
Columbia's  extensive  program  plans.  Wh 
the  directors  gave  Mark  this  golden  o  i 
portunity  they  didn't  realize  what  an  ii  J 
portant  part  they  had  played  in  this  mai 
destiny.  It  was  no  mere  job  they  offer 
him.    They  gave   him   security   and  t  < 
right  to  have  faith  again  in  America, 
mankind,  and  in  life  itself. 

They  gave  him  a  brighter  outlook 
the  future.  For  the  first  time  in  ten  ye:  j 
he's  looking  ahead — not  back. 

Mark  is  thankful  for  the  important  n 
Fate  played  in  his  career — thankful,  I  , 
that  he  can  give  his  children  three  me 
a  day  and  a  roof  over  their  heads. 

You'll  never  see  his  name  blazed  b  <

Sliding  in  the  doorway  was  a  tiny,  black-

'he  eyed  him  saucily.    "Look-a  him !" 

■"or  one  full  minute  he  scowled  at  her.

t'  ible!  You're  not  a  bit  like  the  other

with  oil  and  iodine.  When  his  mother 
died,  it  was  she  who  wired  Papa  Block  to 
join  them.  It  was  she,  hard-boiled,  fresh 
Eve  Sully  who  took  care  of  the  two  grief - 
stricken  men  in  their  hour  of  sorrow. 

Gradually  Jesse  began  to  look  at  Eve 
with  different  eyes.  He  was  falling  in 
love  with  his  little  teammate,  but  the  big 
cluck  was  too  dumb  to  realize  his  own 
feelings.    Then  suddenly  it  hit  home. 

Eve  came  tripping  out  of  her  dressing 
room,  all  rigged  up. 

"Where  are  you  going,"  Jesse  asked 
her. 

"Oh,  just  going  out  with  a  friend." 
"A  man?" 

"Yes,"  she  said.    "A  man." 

Jesse  hesitated  a  moment.  Then — "See 
here,"  he  blurted,  "why  don't  you  forget 
them  all  and  marry  me." 

Her  heart  did  a  funny  somersault  and 
she  gulped.  "Steady  girl,'-'  she  said  to 
herself.  "Don't  be  too  anxious.  Give  this 
fellow  a  taste  of  his  own  medicine." 

She  laughed.  "Don't  be  funny,"  and 
skipped  out. 

Again  he  proposed,  when  they  were  in 
Spokane  and  again  Eve  played  her  little 
game. 

But  when  he  proposed  for  the  third 
time,  in  Los  Angeles,  Eve  said  yes.  They 
were  married  in  the  home  of  their  friends 
and  fellow  troupers,  the  Jack  Bennys. 

I  wish  I  could  say  here  that  Lady  Luck 
beamed  down  upon  them  as  they  stood 
before  the  altar  and  blessed  them.  But 
there  were  many  heartbreaking,  disap- 
pointing months  ahead  of  them.  Here's 
what  happened. 

The  team  of  Block  and  Sully  had  been 
great  favorites  in  vaudeville  for  the  past 
ten  years.  Perhaps  that's  what  made  them 
a  bit  smtip;  and  self-satisfied.  At  any  rate, 
when  Eddie  Cantor  opened  at  the  Palace 
Theatre  in  New  York  and  was  scouting 
about  for  a  team  like  theirs  to  appear 
with  him,  they  turned  down  his  offer.  And 
spent  the  next  few  years  regretting  it. 


Cantor  hired  Burns  and  Allen,  tw< 
struggling  young  vaudevillians,  instead 
The  acts  of  these  two  teams  are  quit 
similar,  but  in  fairness  to  both,  let  me  sa 
here  and  now  that  neither  copied  fror 
the  other.  That  week  Eddie  placed  Graci 
Allen  on  his  coffee  hour  as  gue^t  stai 
You  know  the  rest.  That  spot  "made 
Burns  and  Allen  and  they  were  snappe 
up  by  the  Robert  Burns  cigar  people  fo 
a  glorious  hour  of  their  own. 

Still  Block  and  Sully  didn't  care.  Lik 
typical  troupers  of  the  time,  they  thumbi 
their  noses  at  radio.  They  still  stuck  t 
vaudeville.  But  little  things  gradual! 
opened  their  eyes.  They  noticed  that  the 
didn't  headline  the  bill  any  more.  The 
high  salaries  took  a  sharp  slant  dowi 
wards. 

It  was  a  frank  booking  agent  who  tol 
them  the  truth.    "You're  no  longer  a  be  j 
office  draw.     Radio  stars  have  a  bigg< 
following  in  vaudeville.     Why  don't  yi  I 
go  on  the  air?" 

Blithely  Jesse  and  Eve  arranged  for 
radio  audition.     "This  will  be  a  cinch 
they  thought.      "We've  laid   'em  in  tl 
aisles  in  vaudeville.    We'll  surely  be  at  i 
to  do  that  in  radio." 

At  the  end  of  the  audition  they  walk 
over  to  the  director,  their  faces  lit  :  I 
with  pleasure.    They  had  used  their  bt  . 
material  and  had  never  been  better.  B 
the  director  gave  them  a  look  that  dash 
cold  water  on  their  hopes. 

"Never !"  he  told  them  laconical 
"You're  a  dead  steal  of  Burns  and  Allei 

Eve  and  Jesse  looked  at   each  otr 
dumbly. 

"Listen  here — "  Jesse  tried  to  expla 
Tried  to  tell  him  that  they  had  been  c  ■ 
ing  this  act  for  years  before  Burns  a 
Allen  were  on  the  air. 

But   the   director   was   already  at  1  M 
door.     "And  besides,"  the  director  flu 
back,  "where  did  you  pick  up  that  'Lool 
him'  business.     That's  terrible!"  Ba 
went  the  door. 


Don't  get  excited.    It's  not  a  romance,  but  only  a  scene  from  Rudy' 
latest  flicker,  "Sweet  Music,"  with  Ann  Dvorak. 


RADIO  STARS 


For  the  first  time  in  her  life,  little  Eve 
•ully  cried  openly  on  Jesse  Block's 
houlder. 

"Never  mind,  honey,"  he  comforted. 
W  e'll  get  there.    We'll  try  again." 

They  went  through  dozens  of  auditions, 
et  the  answer  was  always  the  same.  At 
ight,  in  their  apartment,  they  would 
lump  into  their  chairs  and  stare  at  the 
.alls  in  stony  silence,  each  not  daring 
i  display  the  spirit  of  defeat  to  the  other. 
Jut  they  were  licked,  all  right.  One  thing 
lat  will  not  be  tolerated  in  show  business 
.  imitation.  The  fact  that  Eve  and  Jesse 
[/ere  not  imitators  didn't  matter.  They 
ppeared  to  be  imitators  of  Burns  and 
vllen.  That  was  enough.  It  was  an  in- 
urmountable  barrier  that  stood  between 
lem  and  success. 

Things  were  going  from  bad  to  worse, 
'heir  vaudeville  bookings  were  falling 
tf.  Newer,  fresher  radio  names  were 
iking  their  place.  Slowly  but  surely  their 
right  dreams  and  ambitions  were  turning 
)  ashes. 

One  afternoon,  Eve  dashed  into  the 
partment  flushed  with  excitement.  "I 
ave  it!"  she  cried.  "We're  leaving  for 
'lorida.     Right  now !" 

Then  she  proceeded  to  explain  to  her 
tartled  husband.  "Eddie  Cantor's  in 
'lorida  now,  angel.  Well,  we're  going 
own  and  he's  going  to  put  us  on  his 
our  as  guest  stars. 

"But  how — what — when  !  We  don't  even 
now  him,"  Jesse  sputtered. 

"That's  all  right.  We've  got  to  take  a 
hance.  This  is  our  ace  card.  Here  goes 
verything !"  she  cried  as  she  flipped  their 
lothes  in  the  trunk. 

The  next  day  the  Blocks  were  on  the 
rain  speeding  towards  Florida,  with  their 
cript  at  the  bottom  of  their  trunk. 

"Let's  go  to  the  beach,"  Jesse  suggested 
vhen  they  reached  their  hotel. 

"Xosiree,"  Eve  declared.    "We're  going 

0  the  races.   Cantor's  bound  to  be  there." 
They  never  even  looked  at  the  races. 

"hey  scoured  the  place  for  Eddie  Cantor. 
>uddenly  Eve  pinched  Jesse's  arm.  "Look 
there  he  is." 

As  nonchalantly  as  they  could  they 
trolled  past  Cantor,  their  hearts  were 
eating  a  wild  tattoo.  Their  future  was 
t  stake  now.  Suppose — suppose  their  wild 
cheme  wouldn't  work ! 

1  "Hello,  Mr.  Cantor."  It  was  Eve  smil- 
ig  up  at  Eddie.     "Don't  you  remember 

.  Cantor  looked  at  them  a  trifle  be- 
wildered. 

1  "Why,  we  met  you  in  New  York,"  she 
ied.    "We're  Block  and  Sully." 

Eddie's  face  beamed.  He  thrust  out  a 
unburned  hand.    "Oh  sure,  sure !  Sorry 

didn't  place  you  at  first." 

The  three  got  to  talking,  and  then, 
bonder  of  wonder,  Eddie  popped  in  with, 
'Say  kids,  how  about  guest  starring  on 
|iy  program  next  week.    I  think  you'd  be 

Eve  stared  at  Jesse.  Jesse  stared  at 
ive.  They  could  hardly  believe  their 
ars.    Their  little  plan  worked ! 

"Well,"  Jesse  drawled.  "We  just  came 
own  for  a  rest  and  we  haven't  our  mate- 
ia!  with  us,  but  we'll  get  something  to- 
ether  by  Sunday." 

The  following  Sunday  they  appeared 
>n  the  Chase  and  Sanborn  hour.  You

"Look-a  him,"  and  "Some  dunce,  I'll  say." 
But  what  you  didn't  hear  was  the  nervous 
tremble  in  their  voices.  This  was  their 
chance.  At  the  end  of  the  program  they 
would  either  be  "made"  or  "finished"  for 
good. 

You  know  the  answer.  It's  you  fans 
who  sealed  the  fate  of  Block  and  Sully. 
So  loud  was  the  clamor  for  them  from 
listeners  all  over  the  country  that  Cantor 
had  to  call  them  back  for  another  guest 
appearance.  That  was  their  most  impor- 
tant audition  and  they  came  through  with 


flying  colors !  Everyone  cheered. 

They  got  their  own  program  on  a  local 
network  that  included  stations  WOR, 
WLW  and  WGN.  Then  Sam  Goldwyn 
called  them  to  Hollywood  to  ap|><  ;ir  in 
one  of  his  productions.  Now  they're  with 
"The  Big  Show." 

Yes,  things  are  breaking  nicely  for  Eve 
and  Jesse.  I  hope  they  kissed  Old  Lady 
Jinx  goodbye  forever  when  they  took 
that  long  chance  and  boarded  the  train 
for  Florida.  Somehow  or  other  you  can't 
help  but  wish  spunky  folks  like  them  the 
best !

That's  the  situation  of  the  person  who  suffers 
from  Piles ! 

Almost  always  in  pain  yet  dreading  to  seek 
relief,  because  the  affliction  is  such  a  delicate  one. 
Yet  no  ailment  Is  more  needful  of  treatment  than 
Piles.  For  Piles  cannot  only  ruin  your  health  and 
looks,  but  they  can  develop  into  something  very 
serious. 

Real  relief  for  Piles  is  to  be  had  in  Pazo  Oint- 
ment !  Pazo  almost  instantly  stops  the  pain  and 
itching  and  checks  any  bleeding.  What  is  more 
important,  Pazo  tends  to  correct  the  condition  of 
Piles  as  a  whole.  This  is  because  Pazo  is  threefold 
in  effect. 

First,  it  is  soothing,  which  relieves  the  soreness 
and  inflammation.  Second,  it  is  healing,  which 
repairs  the  torn  and  damaged  tissues.  Third,  it  is 
absorbing,  which  dries  up  any  mucous  matter  and 
tends  to  shrink  the  swollen  blood  vessels  which  are 
Piles. 

Pazo  cornea  in  two  forms  —  in  tubes  and  tins. 
The  tubes  have  a  special  Pile  Pipe  for  insertion  in 
the  rectum.  All  drug  stores  sell  Pazo  at  small  cost.

had  half  forgotten.  Of  her  husband,  from 
whom  she  would  be  divorced,  and  of  her 
little  daughter  then  three  years  old.  Not 
once  did  the  woman's  gaze  falter,  not  once 
did  she  make  a  mistake.  It  was  amazing, 
uncanny. 

"Ymir  husband  is  not  in  Munich  now," 
she  said.  "He  is  in  Vienna  and  he  is 
ill,  not  seriously.  You  will  hear  about 
it  from  him  this  evening.  You  yourself," 
she  added,  "are  going  to  have  a  very  serious 
illness.  For  a  while  doctors  will  fear  for 
your  life,  but  you  will  recover  completely. 
After  that  you  will  change  your  profes- 
sion." 

For  a  moment  Grete  Stueckgold  was 
frightened.  The  room  seemed  to  grow 
darker  and  the  woman  in  her  neat,  shabby 
dress  and  hat  was  like  some  black  robed 
priestess  of  ancient  Greece  prophesying 
sorrow.  In  the  ordinary  sense  Grete  did 
not  fear  illness,  but  illness,  followed  by 
a  change  of  profession,  means  the  night- 
mare that  makes  even  an  ordinary  cold 
something  for  a  singer  to  dread — the  loss 
of  a  golden  voice.  She  tried  to  tell  her- 
self she  was  foolish  to  believe  the  words 
of  a  person  who  by  all  the  laws  of  reason 
and  common  sense  couldn't  possibly  know 
what  she  was  talking  about,  but  telling 
herself  didn't  do  much  good.  While  the 
woman  was  there  beside  her  it  was  reason 
and  common  sense  that  seemed  a  little 
foolish. 

"You  will  not  seek  the  new  career," 
the  woman's  quiet  voice  went  on,  "It  will 
seek  you.  It  will  come  to  you  quite  sud- 
denly without  warning  and  it  will  bring 
you  fame,  wealth,  success,  far  beyond 
anything  you  have  known.  In  Berlin  and 
in  cities  even  greater  and  more  powerful, 
thousands  of  people  will  come  to  hear  you 
sing." 

A  cloud  seemed  to  lift  in  the  room.  With 
that  one  word  sing,  Grete  Stueckgold's 
fear  was  gone.  But  what  about  the  change 
of  her  career?  It  could  mean  only  one 
thing.  It  must  mean  opera,  the  final  goal 
for  which  so  many  singers  have  fought 
and  struggled,  succeeded  and  failed.  Get- 
ting on  the  opera  stage  can  be  a  grim, 
bitter  business  full  of  cruelty  and  heart- 
break and  Grete  Stueckgold  had  never 
tried  it.  Perhaps  with  that  deep  inner  as- 
surance that  is  the  best  key  to  success 
she  felt  she  could  afford  to  wait.  Per- 
haps too,  like  most  of  us,  she  had  had  her 
moments  of  doubt  and  uncertainty  so  that 
the  words  cheered  and  excited  her.  The 


fortune-teller's  deep,  strange  gaze  was  still 
fixed  on  her  face  as  if  it  were  there 
she  read  her  prophecies. 

"In  three  years,"  she  said  slowly,  "or 
a  ship  going  to  a  far  distant  country  you 
will  meet  a  man  who  is  very  important 
in  your  life.  You  will  both  fall  deeply  ir 
love  and  you  will  have  a  completely  happy 
marriage." 

The  fortune-teller  left  and  with  her  som< 
of  the  strange  spells  seemed  to  vanish  sc 
that  Grete  Stueckgold  was  able  to  tell  her- 
self quite  convincingly  that  level  headec 
people  may  find  that  sort  of  thing  enter 
taining  without  taking  it  seriously.  Tha 
evening  something  happened  that  made  evei 
her  most  skeptical  friends  look  a  littl< 
blank  and  for  a  moment  gave  her  the  al 
most  terrifying  feeling  that  she  had  reall. 
caught  a  glimpse  of  what  is  so  carefull; 
hidden  from  most  of  us.  It  was  a  sma! 
thing  and  very  commonplace.  She  wa 
called  to  the  telephone. 

"Long  distance.     Vienna  speaking," 
voice  said  crisply.    And  then  her  husband' 
voice:    "I  just  called  up  to  tell  you  I'v 
got  a   touch  of  grippe.   Nothing  at  a 
serious,  but  I'm  staying  in  bed." 

Perhaps  Grete  Stueckgold  clung  to  th 
memory  of  the  fortune-teller's  prophec 
when  sometime  later  she  became  dangei 
ously  ill  with  scarlet  fever  followed  b 
mastoiditis.  As  foretold,  her  recovery  w; 
complete  and  her  glorious  voice  was. 
anything,  more  glorious  than  ever.  SI 
was  giving  a  concert  in  the  lovely  old  tow 
of  Nuremberg  when  Bruno  Walter,  tl 
famous  conductor  came  to  hear  her.  P 
was  producing  an  opera  of  Mozart  at  tl 
Opera  House  in  Berlin  and  he  had  ni, 
found  the  right  person  for  the  leading  ro! 
Grete  Stueckgold  was  the  right  perso 
and  he  came  to  tell  her  so.  It  wasr| 
an  invitation  or  a  request.  It  was  a  d 
mand. 

"I  need  you  for  the  part,"  he  sa 
firmly.  "There  is  nobody  else.  You  mu 
do  it." 

How  could  she  hesitate?  Here  was  li 
opportunity  exactly  as  it  had  been  pror 
ised ;  she  could  not  doubt  now  that  tl 
rest  of  the  prophecy  would  be  fulfilled.  H 
parents  were  musical  people,  proud  of  h 
concert  success,  but  they  protested  at  t 
thought  of  opera.  Parents  always  prote 
when  their  daughters  go  on  the  stafi 
However  the  decision  was  hers  and  s 
made  it.  She  sang  the  Mozart  role  in  Be 
lin  where  her  success  was  overwhelmii

je  was  a  sensation.  She  was  young 
;  I  beautiful  and  her  fame  grew  rapidly. 
(Fers  to  sing  in  other  cities  were  show- 
Id  upon  her.  And  just  three  years  after 
ft  visit  in  Munich  she  signed  a  contract 

I  come  to  New  York. 

>he  hadn't  had  much  time  to  think  of 
i  tune-fellers,  but  when  she  got  on  the 
lit  she  must  have  felt  a  rather  special 
t  itenient  and  surely  she  read  the  pas- 
Mger  list  with  unusual  care.  There  was 
;  fellow  artist  on  board,  a  man  who  for 
j'eral  years  had  been  singing  character

<  n't  sound  quite  like  the  prince  in  the 
|ry  tale  but  as  Romeo  pointed  out  a 
1  g  time  ago,  names  don't  matter.  The 
ossing  wasn't  a  long  one  and  it  didn't 
id  to  be.  Madame  Stueckgold  is  radiant 
ven  she  tells  about  it. 

it  was  love  at  first  sight  for  both  of 
ir'  she  says. 

They  were  married  the  following  year 
i  \Tew  York  and  nothing  prophesied  that 
c'-  in  Munich  was  truer  than  the  promise 
«  complete  happiness.  Husband  and  wife 
\rk  and  play  together.  When  one  sings 
t"  other  is  always  there  to  listen  and 
\en  Madame  Stueckgold  is  rehearsing 
(  broadcasting  at  Columbia's  Theatre  of 
t  Air,  Gustav  Schuetzendorf  sits  in  the 
utrol  room.  After  the  rehearsal  they 
f  out  together,  talking  eagerly.  Unlike 
.'lie  married  people  they  always  have  a 
1  to  say  to  each  other. 

'erhaps  if  Madame  Stueckgold  were 
t  go  back  to  Munich  she  could  find  the 

"tune-teller,  every  one  of  whose  words 
cue  true,  but  the  suggestion  makes  her 
.-ile  and  shake  her  head. 

\"o.  I  think  I'd  rather  just  take  things 
;  they  come  now,"  she  says.  Probably 
;  is  right.  And  perhaps,  too,  a  thing 
1 :  that  can  happen  only  once  in  a  life- 
t'e.    To  try  it  again  would  be  tempting

DOES  Y0UQKW  LOOK 
LIKE  SILKWWAS? 


It's  that  Hard-to-Get-at  Second  Layer  of  Dirt 
that  Makes  Your  Skin  Coarse  and  Gray 


A  black  slip  under  a  white  dress  will  make  the 
white  dress  look  dark — grayish! 

The  same  holds  true  for  dirt  buried  in  your 
skin.  It  will  make  your  skin  look  dark — give  it 
a  grayish  cast.  It  will  also  clog  your  pores  and 
make  your  skin  large-pored  and  coarse. 

It's  safe  to  say  that  7  out  of  10  women  do  not 
have  as  clearly  white  and  radiant  and  fine  a 
skin  as  ihey  might,  simply  on  account  of  that 
unsuspected,  hidden  "second  layer"  of  dirt. 

There  is  only  one  way  to  remove  that  under- 
neath dirt  and  that  is  to  use  a  cream  that  pene- 
trates the  pores  to  the  bottom. 

A  penetrating  Face  Cream 

Lady  Esther  Four-Purpose  Face  Cream  is  a 
penetrating  face  cream.  It  does  not  merely  lie 
on  the  surface  of  your  skin.  Almost  the  instant 
it  is  applied,  it  begins  working  its  way  into  the 
pores.  It  goes  all  the  way  down  to  the  bottom 
of  the  pores  —  doesn't  stop  half  way. 

Going  to  work  on  the  waxy  dirt,  it  breaks  it 
up—dissolves  it  —  and  floats  it  to  the  surface 
where  it  is  easily  wipet'  T  When  you  cleanse 
your  skin  with  Lady  Lmer  Face  Cream  you 
get  dirt  out  that  you  never  suspected  was  there. 
It  will  probably  shock  you  when  you  see  how 
really  soiled  your  skin  was. 

Two  or  three  cleansings  with  Lady 
Esther  Face  Cream  will  actually  make 
your  skin  appear  whiter — shades  w  hiter. 
You  would  think  almost  that  you  had 
bleached  it,  but  that's  the  effect  of  thor- 
oughly cleansing  the  skin.  When  your 
skin  has  been  thoroughly  cleansed  it 
blooms  anew,  like  a  wilting  flower  that 
has  been  suddenly  watered.  It  becomes 


clear  and  radiant.  It  becomes  fine  and  soft. 
Supplies  Dry  Skin  with  What  It  Needs 

As  Lady  Esther  Four- Purpose  Face  Cream 
cleanses  your  skin,  it  also  does  other  things.  It 
lubricates  the  skin  — resupplies  it  with  a  fine 
oil  that  overcomes  dryness  and  makes  the  skin 
velvety  soft  and  smooth. 

Cleansing  the  pores  as  thoroughly  as  it  does, 
it  allows  them  to  function  freely  again — to 
open  and  close — as  Nature  intended.  This  au- 
tomatically permits  the  pores  to  reduce  them- 
selves to  their  normal,  invisible  size. 

Also,  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  makes  so 
smooth  a  base  for  powder  that  powder  stays 
on  twice  as  long  and  stays  fresh.  You  don't 
have  to  use  a  powder  base  that  will  ooze  out 
and  make  a  pasty  mixture  on  your  skin. 

No  Other  Quite  Like  It 

There  is  no  face  cream  quite  like  Lady  Esther 
Face  Cream.  There  is  no  face  cream  that  will 
do  so  much  definitely  for  your  skin.  But  don't 
take  my  word  for  this!  Prove  it  at  my  expense. 

Let  me  have  your  name  and  address  and  I'll 
send  you  a  7-days'  supply.  Just  mail  a  penny 
postcard  or  the  coupon  below  and  by  return

Esther  Four -Purpose  Face  Cream.  Let  your 
own  skin  tell  you  how  different  this  face  cream 
is  from  any  you  have  ever  tried.

New,  Natural  Mineral  Concentrate  from 
the  Sea— RICH  IN  NATURAL  IODINE, 
Building  Up  Thousands  of  Nervous, 
Skinny,  Rundown  Men  and  Women 
Everywhere 
Here's  good  news  for  "Naturally  Skinny"  folks 
who  can't  seem  to  add  an  ounce  no  matter  what 
they  eat.  A  new  way  has  been  found  to  add  flat- 
tering pounds  of  good,  solid  flesh  and  fill  out  those 
ugly,  scrawny  hollows  even  on  men  and  women 
who  have  been  under-weight  for  years.  5  lbs.  in 
1  week  guaranteed.  15  to  20  lbs.  in  few  weeks  not 
uncommon. 

This  new  discovery,  called  Kelp-a  Malt  now  avail- 
able in  handy  tablets  offers  practically  all  the  vitally 
essential  food  minerals  in  highly  concentrated  form 
These  minerals,  so  necessary  to  the  digestion  of 
fats  and  starches  in  your  daily  diet — the  weight 
making  elements — include  a  rich  supply  of  precious 
NATURAL  IODINE. 

Kelp-a-Malt  s  NATURAL  IODINE  is  a  mineral 
needed  by  the  vital  organ  which  regulates  meta- 
bolism— the  process  through  which  the  body  is 
constantly  building  firm  solid  flesh,  new  strength 
and  energy.  6  Kelp-a-Malt  tablets  contain  more 
NATURAL  IODINE  than  486  lbs.  of  spinach,  1600 
lbs.  of  beef.  1389  lbs.  of  lettuce. 

Try  Kelp-a-Malt  for  a  single  week  and  notice  the 
difference — how  much  better  you  sleep — how  your 


appetite  improves,  how  ordinary  stomach  distres 
vanishes.  Watch  flat  chests  and  skinny  limbs  fill 
out  and  flattering  extra  pounds  appear.  Kelp-a- 
Malt  is  prescribed  and  used  by  physicians.  Fine  for 
children,  too.  Remember  the  name.  Kelp-a-Malt. 
the  original  kelp  and  malt  tablets.  Nothing  like 
them,  so  do  not  accept  imitations.  Try  Kelp-a- 
Malt.  If  you  don't  gain  at  least  5  lbs.  in  1  week, 
the  trial  is  free.  Kelp-a-Malt  comes  in  jumbo  size 
tablets,  4  to  5  times  the  size  of  ordinary  tablets 
and  cost  but  little.  It  can  be  had  at  nearly  all  drug 
stores.  If  your  dealer  can't  supply  you,  send  $1.00 
for  special  introductory  size  bottle  of  65  tablets 
to  address  below

Hair  Men  Adore 

Fascinating  Glints  brought  out 
in  one  shampoo! 

DON'T  let  drab  hair  make  you  look  tired  and 
commonplace.  A  single  Blondex  shampoo

to  new,  enchanti:  g  softness.  Blondex  is  not  a 
dye  or  bleach.  It's  a  glorious  shampoo-rinse — 
made  originally  for  blondes — but  quickly  adopted 
by  thousands  with  dark  and  medium  hair — who 
find  it  brings  out  gleaming  lights  and  lustre  like 
nothing  else!  Wonderfully  cleansing.  Blondex 
completely  removes  all  hair-dirt  and  film.  Your 
scalp  feels  gloriously  clean,  refreshed.  Your  hair 
is  not  only  brighter,  but  healthier,  too!  Try 
Blondex  now — it  works  magic.  At  all  good  drug 
and  department  stores.  1  wo  sizes,  the  inexpen- 
sive 25c  package,  and  the  economical  $1  bottle.

A  famous  doctor  says:   "Ambrosia  not  only 
cleanses  thoroughly  and  deeply,  but  is  antiseptic, 
healing  and  tonic.   It  reduces  large  pores." 


LARGE  PORES 


DON'T  suffer  from  large  pores  and  blackheads 
another  minute.  Use  Ambrosia,  the  pore- 
deep  liquid  cleanser,  three  times  a  day.  You  feel 
Ambrosia  tingle;  you  know  it  is  cleansing  as 
nothing  has  done  before. 

Using  Ambrosia  is  like  putting  your  skin  on  a 
liquid  diet.  There's  nothing  to  clog  or  coarsen 
pores.  In  as  little  as  three  days  blackheads  begin 
to  go,  complexions  are  smoother  and  clearer. 

Begin  to  have  a  lovelier  skin  at  once.  Get  a 
bottle  of  Ambrosia  today.  75£  at  all  drug  and 
department  stores.  In  smaller  sizes  at  10^  stores.

Many  people  with  defective  hearing  and 
Head  Noises  enjoy  Conversation.  Movies. 
Church  and  Radio,  because  they  use 
Leonard  Invisible    Ear  Drums  which 
resemble  Tiny  Megaphones  fitting

No  wires,  batteries  or  head  piece. 
They  are  inexpensive.  Write  for

the  inventor  who  was  himself  deaf.

Helping  Alii/ions  to 

END  COLDS  SOONER 


(Continued  from  fayc  95) 

Rosa  Ponselle  sings  as  much  for  her 
.isible  audience  as  she  does  for  her  un- 
seen audience,  so  much  so  that  engineers 
it  CBS  have  installed  a  signal  light  on  her 
nusic  stand  to  warn  her  when  she  is  too 
far  away  from  the  mike. 

More  than  500  different  musical  selec- 
ions  are  presented  each  month  on  the 
Breakfast  Club  on  NBC. 

Rudy  Vallee  and  his  wife,  Fay  \\  ebb 
bailee,  are  still  furnishing  business  for 
lie  courts.  As  we  predicted  months  ago, 
\"allee  is  winning.  He  recently  walked  off 
vvith  two  decisions  in  New  York  courts ; 
me  permitting  him  to  file  a  new  answer 
:o  his  wife's  suit  plus  a  temporary  injunc- 
ion  restraining  Fay  from  procuring  an 
ilimony  action  in  California ;  the  other 
ivas  a  denial  of  Fay's  application  to  strike 
iut  his  counter-claim  in  her  action  in 
which  he  asked  that  the  separation  agree- 
nent  in  New  York  be  upheld  and  that  a 
permanent  injunction  be  granted  restrain- 
ing the  prosecution  of  the  California  suit, 
[pay,  as  you  know,  is  trying  to  set  aside 
':he  separation  agreement  under  which  she 
receives  $100  a  week  from  Rudy. 

Johnnie  Johnstone,  for  eleven  years  a 
familiar  figure  in  NBC's  press  depart- 
ment, resigned  to  head  the  press  unit  of 
WOR,  Newark,  New  Jersey. 

There  was  a  cloudburst  on  the  nine- 
teenth floor  of  NBC's  Chicago  studios 
recently.  A  sound  effects  man,  carrying 
a  rainstorm  from  the  sound  effects  library 
to  one  of  the  studios  where  the  show  called 
lor  some  stormy  weather,  tripped  over  the 
carpet.  The  rain — sand  which  trickles 
from  a  box  on  a  sheet  of  cellophane — 
drenched  the  place.  They  had  to  move  with 
lightning  speed  to  manufacture  new  rain 
for  the  program. 

Danny  Malone,  the  Irish  lad  brought  to 
XBC  from  London,  got  his  first  taste  of 
Broadway  with  the  Abbey  Theatre  Players 
m  the  Irish  play,  "Church  Street."

pearance at  the  Cleveland  Automobile

Both  Columbia  and  NBC  waff  the 
melodies  of  Wayne  King  to  your 
loudspeakers. 


WHEN  a  bad  cold  gets  you 
down,  just  rub  on  Vicks 
VapoRub.  It  goes  right  to  work  to 
fight  a  cold  direct  — two  ways  at 
once.  Through  the  skin  it  acts 
direct  like  a  poultice  or  plaster. 
At  the  same  time,  its  medicated 
vapors  are  inhaled  with  every 
breath  direct  to  the  inflamed  air- 
passages  of  head,  throat,  and 
bronchial  tubes.  This  combined 
action  loosens  phlegm  —  soothes 
irritated  membranes  —  eases  diffi- 
cult breathing  —  helps  break  con- 
gestion. 

Follow  daytime  treatments  with 
an  application  at  bedtime  — to  get 
the  effect  of  VapoRub's  powerful 
two-way  medication  through  the 
night.  Often  by  morning  the  worst 
of  the  cold  is  over.

(Continued  from  page  97) 
Show  from  January  12th  to  19th.  Roth 
his  Log  Cabin  show  on  Wednesday  and  his 
part  on  Show  Boat,  Thursday,  will  come 
from  Cleveland  while  Lanny  is  there. 

Some  people  are  lucky.  No  sooner  had 
Donald  Novis  received  his  notice  from  the 
Monday  night  NBC  Colgate  House  Party 
than  along  came  CBS's  Forty-Five  Min- 
utes in  Hollywood  to  offer  him  a  contract. 
In  the  same  respect,  Jane  Froman  was  en- 
gaged by  the  Palmolive  Beauty  Box  Thea- 
tre sponsor  to  sing  in  "Hit  the  Deck."  She 
did  so  well,  that  she  was  hired  that  same 
week  to  star  on  the  Colgate  program 
which  Novis  left. 

That  early  morning  NBC  spot  with 
B.  A.  Rolfe  and  Comedians  Fast  and 
Dumke  is  just  about  radio's  heaviest  pro- 
gram. Those  three  stars  total  approxi- 
mately 750  pounds. 

Since  so  many  have  asked :  the  top 
tenor  of  the  Revelers  Quartet  is  Robert 
Simmons  who  replaced  Frank  Parker. 

Annette  Hanshaw  may  now  be  addressed 
as  Na-ka-moo-na-nee.  That's  what  the 
Indians  of  the  Irving,  New  York,  reserva- 
tion named  her. 

Let  us  pass  on  some  real  philosophy 
from  Lawrence  Tibbett.  He  says:  "We 
should  not  be  obliged  to  listen  to  some- 
thing that  is  not  our  own."  Therefore, 
Tibbett  becomes  a  real  champion  of  sing- 
ing in  English.  He  practices  what  he 
preaches.    And  note,  please,  his  popularity. 

Through  the  efforts  of  Anne  Seymour, 
young  star  of  the  Grand  Hotel  program, 
Miss  Marian  Hotch  of  Chicago,  a  blind 
girl,  will  get  a  free  dramatic  scholarship. 
Anne  is  doing  her  part  in  encouraging  the 
development  of  talent  among  the  blind. 

Bill  Huggins,  now  vocalist  with  Enoch 
Light's  orchestra,  was  in  his  prime 
Thanksgiving.    That  band  played  his  home 


town  of  Roanoke,  Virginia,  and  Bill  made 
his  first  professional  appearance  there 
since  becoming  a  network  star. 

The  music  department  in  "La  Cronica," 
Buenos  Aires  newspaper,  is  conducted  by 
Horacio  Zito,  NBC  maestro. 

WGN,  which  calls  itself  an  independent 
Chicago  station,  appears  to  have  affilia- 
tions with  four  networks.  It  originated 
and  still  carries  The  Singing  Lady,  Little 
Orphan  Annie  and  Clara,  Lu  'n'  Em  of 
NBC.  It  feeds  The  Romance  of  Helen 
Trent  to  CBS.  It  pipes  Lum  and  Abner, 
Wayne  King,  Jan  Garber,  Earl  Burnett 
and  Kay  Kyser  to  the  Mutual  network 
which  includes  WOR,  WLW  and  WKYZ, 
in  addition  to  itself.  And  it  carries  The 
Lone  Ranger  and  Just  Plain  Bill  which 
originate  with  the  Michigan  network  in 
Detroit. 

Countess  Olga  Albani  will  make  a 
Spanish  picture  in  Hollywood  as  soon  as 
her  contract  with  Charles  Previn's  Silken 
Strings  expires.  She  has  placed  her  eight- 
year-old  son,  Guardo,  in  a  Chicago  school. 

The  stork  left  a  brand  new  young  man 
at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Himan 
Brown  in  November.  Himan  writes  the 
scripts  for  "Marie,  the  Little  French 
Princess"  and  "The  Gumps,"  both  on 
CBS. 

Rise  and  shine  is  the  spirit  of  WSM 
clown  in  Nashville.  That  station  joins 
the  early  birds  with  a  6  :30  a.  m.  program 
every  morning  which  is  presided  over  by 
George  D.  Hay,  the  Solemn  Old  Judge. 

A  national  Mary  Lou  Social  Club  is  in 
the  process  of  formation.  If  you're  a  fan 
of  Muriel  Wilson,  who  plays  the  Mary 
Lou  role  on  Show  Boat,  you  might  like  to 
join.  If  so,  write  to  Mrs.  Chrissie  Connor, 
406  Elm  Street,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  She's  the 
president.

D  istressing  chest  colds  and  minor  throat 
irritations — that  so  often  lead  to  something 
serious — usually  respond  to  the  application 
of  good  old  Musterole.  Musterole  brings  re- 
lief naturally  because  it's  a  scientific 
"counter-irritant"—  NOT  just  a  salve. 
It  penetrates  and  stimulates  circulation, 
helps  to  draw  out  congestion  and  pain.  Rec- 
ommended by  many  doctors  and  nurses  — 
used  by  millions  for  25  years.  Three  kinds: 
Regular  Strength,  Children's  (mild),  and 
Extra  Strong,  40^  each.  All  druggists.  Hear 
"Voice  of  Experience" — Columbia  net- 
work. See  your  newspapers.

You  may  expect  to  see  Bing  Crosby  in 
these  two  new  Paramount  pictures : 
"Sailor,  Beware"  and  "Mississippi." 

Johnnie  Roventini,  the  Philip  Morris 
page  boy  of  NBC.  better  watch  out  if  he 
doesn't  want  to  sell  that  pack  of  smokes 
he's  always  paging.  At  least  he  should 
keep  out  of  earshot  of  the  manager  and 
chief  announcer  of  CFPL,  London,  On- 
tario, who  really  does  happen  to  be  named 
Philip  Morris. 

May  we  add  our  appreciation  to  Ken- 
tucky Winner  Cigarettes  for  signing  that 
grand  dramatic  program,  "One  Man's 
Family"  for  a  sponsored  NBC  network 
series,  Wednesdays  at  10  p.  m.  EST. 

Could  there  be  anything  to  the  fact  that 
Betty  Barthell  has  been  seen  a  lot  with 
Charlie  Day  of  the  Eton  Boys? 

During  the  four  years  that  the  March 
of  Time  cast  has  been  playing  poker.  Bill 
Adams,  who  used  to  imitate  the  voice  of 
the  President,  has  always  come  out  the 
winner. 

Stephen  Fox,  CBS  actor,  has  a  son  in 
an  Eastern  school.  On  a  recent  visit  there, 
Fox  couldn't  understand  why  the  students 
called  the  boy  "Joe"  when  his  name  was 
Rory.  "I'd  never  get  anywhere  if  they 
knew  my  name  was  Rory,"  the  boy  told 
his  dad. 

George  O'Donnell  of  CBS's  sound  ef- 
fects department  is  newly  married. 

To  the  Chesterfield  cast  of  artists  goes 
the  reputation  of  perfect  co-operation. 
Andre  Kostelanetz,  Nino  Martini,  Grete 
Stueckgold  and  Rosa  Ponselle  get  together 
weekly  for  a  tea — and  then  discuss  the 
merits  or  shortcomings  of  their  work  for 
the  sponsors. 

Vincent  Pelletier,  NBC  Chicago  an- 
nouncer, recently  injured  in  an  auto  wreck, 
got  S800  as  compensation  after  a  legal  tilt. 

Pat  Kennedy  and  Art  Kassell.  appearing 
together  on  a  CBS  commercial  this  season, 
both  have  known  life  in  an  orphans'  home.

SO  TIRED,  SO  BLUE 

Till  This  ALL-VEGETABLE  Laxative 
Solved  Her  Constipation 

SHE  was  so  tired — depressed — always  having 
colds  and  headaches.  And  she  had  tried  so 
many  things  she  almost  despaired  of  getting 
relief.  Then  she  discovered  the  real  answer.  A 
laxative  that  gave  thorough,  natural  cleansing, 
not  mere  partial  bowel  action. 

Can  there  be  such  a  difference  in  laxatives? 
Stop  and  think  for  a  minute.  Nature's  Remedy 
(NR  Tablets)  contains  only  natural  plant  and 
vegetable  laxatives,  properly  balanced.  No 
phenol  derivatives.  Ask  any  doctor  the  differ- 
ence. You'll  be  surprised  at  the  wonderful  feel- 
ing that  follows  the  use  of  NR.  You're  so  re- 
freshed— toned  up — so  pleasantly  alive.  You'll 
want  to  give  NR's  a  fair  trial  immediately. 
They  are  so  kind  to  your  system — so  quickly 
effective  for  relieving  headaches,  colds,  bilious- 
ness, chronic  fatigue  or  bad  skin.  They're  non- 
habit  forming — another  proof  that  nature's 
way  is  best.  The  economical  25  dose  box,  only 
25c  at  any  drug  store.

Sponsors  of  Little  Orphan  Annie  are 
distributing  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
identification  tags  and  wrist  chains  to 
youngsters  who  have  asked  for  them.  In 
Chicago  they  have  set  up  the  Radio  Or-

each  child's  name  and  serial  number  is  reg- 
istered. Thousands  of  children  have 
pledged  to  wear  these  tags  at  all  times  just 
as  soldiers  wore  their  dog  tags  in  war 
times.  Police  chiefs  in  all  American  cities 
of  10,000  and  over  have  been  asked  to 
make  use  of  the  identification  bureau  in 
lost  and  found  cases.  Sponsors  claim  that

known  as  the  "Cornbelt  Derby"  before

He  was  describing  scenes  in  the  reptile 
house  and  everything  went  well  until  he 
arrived  at  the  tank  where  the  South  Amer- 
ican eels  are  kept.  Then  three  fellows 
made  a  chain  and  one  put  his  hand  into 
the  tank.  The  eel  got  sore  and  discharged 
a  goodly  supply  of  electricity.  Bang  went

Gray  Hair 

Best  Remedy  is  Made  At  Home 

You  can  now  make  at  home  a  better  pray 
hair  remedy  than  you  can  buy  by  following 
this  simple  recipe:  To  half  pint  of  water  add 
one  ounce  bay  rum.  a  small  box  of  Barbo 
Compound  and  one-fourth  ounce  of  glycerine. 
Any  druggist  can  put  this  up  or  you  can  mix 
It  yourself  at  very  little  cost.  Apply  to  the  hair 
twice  aweek  until  the  desired  shade  Is  obtained. 

Barbo  imparts  color  to  streaked,  faded  or 
gray  hair,  making  it  soft  and  glossy.  It  will 
not  color  the  scalp,  is  not  sticky  or  greasy 
and  does  not  rub  off.

The  Winners  of  the  Annette  Hanshaw  Dress  Contest 


The  Annette  Hanshaw  dress  contest  is 
over,  and  five  lucky  women  are  hitting 
the  high  spots  of  their  home  towns  with 
the  winning  frocks. 

"Joan  of  Arc"  went  to  Charlotte  Bal- 
lard, 6626  28  N.  W„  Seattle,  Washington. 
That  cute  dress  called  "Mac"  went  to 
Suzanne  C.  Burpeau,  College  of  William 
and  Mary,  Williamsburg,  Virginia.  Mrs. 


Mabel  Schellenberger,  R.  D.  1,  Berea, 
Ohio,  got  "Matinee."  "Slim  Jim"  went 
to  Katharine  Bruce,  3rd  North,  Oakdale, 
Iowa.  And  to  Mildred  Rothman,  288 
Ellison  Street,  Paterson,  New  Jersey, 
went  "Pink  Lady." 

Judges  were  members  of  Radio  Stars 
Magazine  staff.  The  winners  were  chosen 
from  thousands  of  letters  received  from  all 
over  the  country.

triumphs.    He  wonders  what  good  fortune 
is  in  store  this  New  Year. 

Ford  Frick,  announcer  on  the  Chester- 
field program,  and  before  that  a  sports 
commentator  on  New  York  local  stations, 
jumped  to  the  $12,000  a  year  salary  status 
when  he  was  named  president  of  the 
National  League  of  Professional  Baseball. 

It's  odd  how  things  come  about  in  this 
uncertain  business  of  broadcasting.  Willie 
Morris,  the  young  Boston  soprano  heard 
on  Lanny  Ross'  Log  Cabin  Inn  program 
November  21.  was  first  heard  by  this 
writer  in  Rome.  Italy,  during  the  summer 
of  1931.  Sort  of  long  distant  and  delayed 
auditioning,  we  think. 

When  Pappy.  Zeke.  Ezra  and  Elton. 
NBC's  New  England  Hill  Billies,  re- 
turned to  America  from  a  tour  of  Europe, 
they  were  faced  with  the  news  that  Mrs. 
Elton  Britt.  bride  of  less  than  a  year  of 
the  youngest  member  of  the  quartet,  was 
dead.  She  had  been  killed  in  an  automo- 
bile accident  in  Oklahoma. 

Elaine  Melchior,  the  Ardala  of  '  Buck- 
Rogers  in  the  Twenty-fifth  Century,"  has 
a  brand  new  husband  in  the  person  of 
Leon  F.  Anspacher.  New  York  business 
man.    It  happened  November  15. 

Sometimes  it  does  pay  to  be  able  to 
attend  a  broadcast.  Just  think  what  you 
listeners  missed  not  long  ago  when  Chev- 
rolet served  a  cake,  thirteen  feet  high,  to 
the  audience  of  one  of  its  shows  featuring 
Isham  Jones.  It  was  in  celebration  of  the 
sponsor's  ten  millionth  car  to  leave  the 
factory. 

Grace  Saxon,  one  of  the  two  Saxon 
Sisters  you  used  to  hear  over  NBC's  Hud- 
son program,  is  engaged  to  Ralph  Freed, 
songwriter. 

Jerry  Sears,  the  NBC  orkster,  and  Ruth 
Lauer  of  Williamsport,  Pennsylvania,  are 
now  man  and  wife. 

Jane  Froman,  originally  scheduled  to  do 
the  girl  singing  on  the  Colgate  House 
Party  on  NBC  Monday  nights,  was  kept

joined  that  outfit.  Hut  Salter's  band  didn't 
stay  long  in  the  Park  Central  and  there 
was  Eddie  without  any  band  with  which 
to  sing.  As  this  is  being  written,  Unkie 
understands  Eddie  is  trying  to  organize  a 
hand  of  his  on'n.  So,  perhaps  you  may  be 
hearing  him  on  the  air  when  you  read  this. 

Q.  Give  some  facts  on  Jerry  Cooper. 
(One  slip  and  your  I.  Q.  goes  down  ten 
per  cent.) 

A.  Aw.  who  cares?  Well,  Jerry  was 
born  of  American  parents  in  New  Orleans, 
April  3,  1907.  He  teas  educated  at  the 
private  school.  Warren  Eastern.  For  two 
years  he  studied  voice  in  New  Orleans 
under  a  Professor  Gorgano.  His  radio 
debut  n'as  made  in  his  native  city  in  1930. 
And  as  probably  his  fans  all  know,  he  first 
appeared  on  Columbia  May  22,  1934.  Be- 
fore becoming  a  radio  star,  Jerry  was  a 
bank  clerk  for  a  bit,  then  entertained  in 
a  N.  O.  night  club — had  his  own  orchestra 
there,  in  fact.  After  that  he  came  to  Nciv 
York  and  began  singing  until  Emil  Cole- 
man's band  at  the  Palais  Royal.  Cooper 
is  five  feet  eleven  inches  tall,  and  weighs 
as  much  as  Lanny  Ross  and  Conrad 
Thibault  -weighed  in  the  first  of  this  intelli- 
gence test — 165  pounds.  He's  not  married, 
nor  engaged,  but  if  any  of  you  are  beauti- 
ful women  about  twenty,  well,  that's  the 
kind  he  likes. 

Q  Quick.  The  personal  appearance  of 
Elsie  Hitz. 

A.  Not  bad.  Not  ba-ad.  Oh.  you  mean 
specifically.  IV ell,  she's  five  feet  three  and 
one-half  inches  and  weighs  110  pounds. 
She  has  brown  eyes  and  broun  hair. 

Q.  See  if  you  can  do  better  on  Robert 
Simmons  than  you  did  on  Jerry  Cooper. 


A.  You  mean  William  Simmons,  don't 
you?  That's  his  real  name  off  the  air. 
Well.  Bobby,  or  Billy,  whichever  you  will, 
ivas  born  in  Eairplax,  Missouri,  Septem- 
ber 25,  1904.  He  is  of  French-lrish- 
English-Scotch  descent.  What  a  repertory. 
He  ivas  educated  at  the  Marionville,  Mo., 
Preparatory  School;  Washington  Univer- 
sity; Boston  University  and  received  his 
professional  training  at  the  New  England 
Conservatory,  which,  in  case  you  didn't 
know,  has  a  high  standing.  He  has  two 
sisters  and  two  brothers,  respectively  Ruth, 
thirty-five;  Esther,  twenty-seven;  Paul, 
thirty-seven,  and  James,  twenty- five.  He 
is  five  feet  nine  and  one-half  inches  tall, 
and  weighs  160  pounds,  has  brown  hair 
and  black  eyes.  He's  not  married  nor 
engaged,  so  if  you're  a  woman  such  as  he 
pleases  to  term  "a  streamline  model  who 
can  cook,"  there  you  arc. 

Q.  How  many  children  did  James  Wel- 
lington and  his  first  wife  have?  This 
must  be  answered  in  three  seconds. 

A.  Two  is  enough,  thanks.  I  mean 
seconds.    They  didn't  have  any  children. 

Q.  What  happened  to  Louis  Dean  who 
used  to  announce  the  Stoopnagle  and  Budd 
programs  on  CBS? 

A.  Plenty.  He  was  given  a  job  with  a 
New  York  advertising  agency  directing 
that  General  Motors  show. 

Q.  Is  Harriet  Milliard  really  in  love 
with  Ozzie?    Is  that  her  real  name? 

A.  That's  no  fair  in  an  intelligence  test. 
Ozzie  and  Harriet  just  won't  say.  No, 
Harriet's  real  name  is  Peggy  Snyder. 
Now,  intelligence  testers,  how  did  I  do? 

Q.  Well,  we'll  say  you  have  the  men- 
tality at  least  of  a  child  of  twelve.

(Continued  from  page  105) 
from  the  job  because  of  some  clauses 
which  were  in  her  contract  on  the  Pontiac 
program,  also  on  NBC. 

Joe  Morrison,  the  boy  who  sang  his  way 
from  George  Olsen's  orchestra  to  movie- 
dom,  is  a  new  Brunswick  Recording  artist. 

That  trio  on  NBC  billed  as  the  Peerless 
Trio  is  none  other  than  the  Trio  Roman- 
tique. 

One  of  the  biggest  contributions  to  radio 
showmanship  of  the  current  season  is  the 
Nash  Motor  Company's  Christmas  and 
New  Year's  broadcasts,  from  2  to  4 :45 
p.m.  EST  over  nearly  one  hundred  Colum- 
bia Broadcasting  System  stations.  If  you 
heard  the  Christmas  program,  you  know 
that  Nash  is  presenting  just  about  the 
greatest  galaxy  of  talent  ever  assembled 
for  a  commercial  program. 

Among  the  outstanding  features  assem- 
bled for  the  broadcasts,  many  of  whom 
you  heard  Christmas  Day,  are :  Lionel 
Barrymore  as  "Scrooge"  in  a  dramatiza- 
tion of  Dickens'  "Christmas  Carol" ;  Bea- 
trice Lillie ;  Mme.  Ernestine  Schumann- 
Heink;  George  Olsen  and  his  orchestra 
with  Ethel  Shutta;  Clyde  Pangborn  and 
Roscoe  Turner,  famous  aviators ;  the  Don 
Cossacks,  a  choir  of  thirty-five  voices;  the 
Apollo  Club  of  Chicago,  200  voices  and 
the  oldest  choral  group  in  the  Middle 
West.  Alexander  Woollcott  appears  as 
master  of  ceremonies. 

Another  announcer  turned  singer  is 
Howard  Petri  of  NBC  who  celebrated  his 
birthday  November  22  by  singing  on 
Clieerio's  program. 

And  while  we're  on  the  subject  of  NBC 
announcers,  take  a  glance  at  the  Ail- 
American  lineup.  Among  them  you'll  find 
Kelvin  Keech,  born  in  Hawaii ;  Frank 
Singiser,  brought  up  in  India;  Lyle  Van, 
a  native  of  Holland ;  and  Alois  Havrilla, 
who  calls  Pressov  in  the  Balkans  his  home 
town. 

Jimmy  Kozak,  former  Paul  Whiteman 
arranger,  is  one  of  the  busiest  orchestra 
leaders  in  Chicago.  With  his  concert  or- 
chestra he  plays  every  evening  over  CBS 
from  the  Edgewatcr  Beach  Hotel.  He 
conducts  another  orchestra  at  NBC  twice 
a  week  for  Walter  Wicker's  "Song  of  the 
City."  And  every  day  he  presents  several 
piano  programs  over  WAAF,  an  inde- 
pendent station. 

Memo  Holt,  a  real  Hawaiian  beauty 
from  Honolulu,  is  the  new  soloist  with 
Herbie  Kay's  orchestra.  She  succeeded 
Dorothy  L'Amour,  of  New  Orleans,  who 
left  Kay  to  cast  her  lot  with  the  movies. 

Adelaide  Howell,  the  new  warbler  dis- 
covered by  Paul  Whiteman  and  now  on 
NBC  from  the  Hotel  Biltmore  with 
Michael  Tree's  orchestra,  is  none  other 
than  the  society  Howell  of  Atlanta, 
Georgia,  and  niece  of  Clark  Howell,  editor 
of  the  Atlanta  Constitution. 

Here  is  real  news.  Gladys  Swarthout 
has  been  signed  for  the  movies  by  Para- 
mount. This  star  of  the  Metropolitan 
Opera,  the  Firestone  Series  and  the  Palm- 
olive  Beauty  Box  Theatre,  all  being  aired 
over  NBC,  will  not  let  movies  interfere 
with  her  microphone  work. 

Lud  Gluskin  is  leaving  CBS's  "The  Big 
Show"  because  he  says  his  sponsor  won't 
devote  more  time  during  the  program  to 
orchestra  numbers. 

Barry  McKinley's  (he's  the  baritone) 
sponsor  on  NBC  ran  a  contest  on  the  air. 


These  little  wafers  have  done 
wonders  for  thousands 

YOU  CAN  MAKE  your  dream  complexion 
come  true.  But  remember  this — you  can't 
rub  away  a  bad  complexion  wich  expensive 
creams  and  ointments.  You  can't  cover  it  up 
with  cosmetics.  Get  at  the  cause.  Most  muddy, 
pale  complexions,  pimply,  blotchy  skins,  are 
caused  by  sluggishness  of  the  bowels  and  lack 
of  calcium  in  the  system.  Stuart's  Calcium 
Wafers  correct  both  of  these  troubles— quickly, 
easily,  pleasantly.  Thousands  of  charming 
women  owe  their  clear,  healthy  skins— their 
satin-smooth,  radiantly  fresh  complexions  to 
these  marvelous  little  wafers.  Try  them  for 
a  few  days — then  look  in  your  mirror!

ad  instant  relief.  But  my 
est  surprise  came  when  they

Why  a  Corn  Hurts  .  . . 

A  corn  is  shaped  like  a  cone, 
with  the  small  end  pointing 
into  the  toe.  This  inverted 
cone,  under  pressure  from  the 
shoe,  presses  against  sensitive 
which  carry  pain  sensations  to  the  brain 
d  central  nervous  system.  That's  why  a  corn 
ems  to  hurt  all  over. 


How  to  Stop  the  Pain . . . 

Center  the  gentle  Blue-Jay 
medication  (A)  directly  over 
the  com  itself.  The  pad  (B) 
is  held  securely  in  place  with 
the  special  Wet-Prut  adhesive 


strip  (C)  (waterproof,  soft,  kid-like  finish,  does

Blue-Jay  stops  the  agonizing  pain  of  a  corn  imme*

IT  RELIEVED 
MY  MISERY 


•  I  was  practically  a  chronic  invalid  from 
dizziness,  headaches,  bile,  and  all  the 
things  that  come  with  persistent  consti- 
pation. I'd  just  as  soon  have  been  dead. 
Finally  my  husband  insisted  that  I  try 
FEEN-A-MINT— it  had  fixed  him  up 
from  gas  on  his  stomach  when  he  was 
away  on  a  business  trip.  I  was  just 
amazed  at  the  effect  it  had— right  from 
the  first  one  I  began  to  improve.  It  was 
wonderful.  It  agreeably  removes  that 
feeling  of  flatulence,  and  the  dizzy  spells 
have  stopped.  It  works  so  thorough— yet 
doesn't  weaken  my  system  or  give  me  the 
cramps  other  laxatives  did. 

For  men,  women,  and  children 

Because  it  is  effective  and  still  gentle,  we  are  al- 
ways getting  letters  from  women  about  what 
FEEN-A-MINT  does  for  them  and  their  children. 
And  rugged  men  find  FEEN-A-MINT  clears  their 
system  out  thoroughly,  too.  Because  you  must  chew 
FEEN-A-MINT,  the  laxative  spreads  more  evenly 
through  the  clogged  intestines,  works  more  thor- 
oughly. No  harmful  violence.  And  so  easy  and 
pleasant  to  take — like  your  favorite  chewing  gum. 
15,000,000  people  depend  on  it.  Try  it  yourself. 
15  and  25?  at  your  druggist's.

Helen  Hayes  and  Robert  Montgomery  gave  to 
the  screen  an  unforgettable  love  thrill  when 
they  appeared  together  in  "Another  Language". 
Now  they  are  co-starred  in  one  of  the  greatest 
love  stories  of  our  time,  Hugh  Walpole's  famed 
"Vanessa".  When  Helen  Hayes  says:  "He  has 
the  devil  in  him...  but  I  love  him"  she  echoes 
the  thought  of  many  a  girl  who  adores 
a  beloved  rogue.  M-G-M  promises  you  the 
first  truly  gripping    romantic    hit   of  1935!

all  about  making  your  face  beautifu 
by  cbewing  gum.  I  tried  it  tonight 
but  I  forgot  to  throw  away  my  gun 
before  I  came  in.  It  sounds  per 
fectly  ridiculous,  but  I  really  thin) 
there  must  be  something  in  it." 

With  that  she  removed  an  unbe 
lievably  large  wad  of  gum  from  he 
mouth,  deposited  it  in  an  ash  tray  an 
with  the  other  two  swept  in  to  dinnei 

Though  Margaret  Brainard  ha 
caught  the  interest  of  the  wealth 
women,  her  programs  are  particularl 
designed  for  those  who  run  home 
or  who  are  in  business — women  \vh 
have  neither  the  leisure  nor  the  mean 
for  elaborate  beauty  treatments. 

She  conceived  these  exercises  fc! 
women  of  this  class  because  she  hei 
self  raised  two  children  even  whil 
she  was  earning  a  living  developin 
a  beauty  business. 

In  meeting  the  bright-eyed,  alei 
and  lovely  Miss  Brainard,  you  woul 
put  her  age  in  the  early  thirties.  S< 
if  the  twenty-three-year-old  Warrer 
who  frequently  visits  in  her  Ne 
York  office,  entered,  you  would  doubl 
less  mentally  label  him  as  her  brotl 
er,  rather  than  her  married  son.  Ho 
daughter,  Peggy,  is  fifteen. 

{Continued  on  page  98) 


VERYONE  has  seen  people 
rhythmically  chewing  gum  in 
street  cars,  trains  and  movie 
houses.  Yet  how  many  of  us 
ever  realize  that  it  is  just  such  com- 
monplaces of  life  which  can  be  turned 
into  money? 

Margaret  Brainard  is  making  her 
fortune  from  it.  No  doubt  most  of 
you  have  heard  her  programs  in 
which  she  reveals  how  to  build  your 
facial  contour  by  chewing  gum. 

Sound  silly?  A  good  many  in- 
telligent women  don't  think  so. 

One  of  them  is  the  middle-aged 
society  matron  who  came  to  meet  two 
friends  for  dinner  in  the  swank  Palm 
Garden  of  the  Ritz  Carlton  Hotel  in 
New  York.  Clad  in  an  expensive  mink 
coat  and  displaying  beautiful  jewels, 
she  swept  into  the  room  apparently 
unconscious  of  the  steady  manipula- 
tion of  her  jaws.  Her  chin  was  a  bit 
on  the  double  side,  so  that  the  gen- 
eral effect,  contrasted  with  her  other- 
wise dignified  bearing,  was  rather 
startling. 

As  she  came  up  to  her  friends  and 
realized  she  was  chewing  so  vigorous- 
ly, her  embarrassment  was  obvious. 

''Oh  my  dears,"  she  blurted,  "I've

IT  CLEARED  UP  MY 
SKIN  IN  NO  TIME ! 


Improved  Pasteurized 
Yeast  Safely  Corrects  Skin 
Troubles,  Constipation, 
In  digestion,  '  'Nerves ' ' 

WHY  put  up  with  a  blotchy,  pimply, 
unattractive  skin  when  this  sim- 
ple treatment  will  do  so  much  for  you? 

Your  distressing  skin  condition,  like 
so  many  cases  of  indigestion  and 
"jumpy"  nerves,  has  probably  been 
brought  on  by  a  sluggish  system.  Your 
trouble  is  internal  and  needs  internal 
treatment. 

Science  now  knows  that  very  often 
the  real  cause  of  slow,  imperfect  elimi- 
nation of  body  wastes  is  insufficient 
vitamin  B  complex.  The  stomach  and 
intestines,  deprived  of  this  essential 
element,  no  longer  do  their  work  prop- 
erly. Your  digestion  slows  up.  Poisons 
accumulate  in  your  system. 

Yeast  Foam  Tablets  supply  the  vita- 
min B  which  is  necessary  to  correct 
this  condition.  These  tablets  are  pure 
pasteurized  yeast  —  and  yeast  is  the 
richest  known  food  source  of  the  vita- 
min B  complex.  This  improved  yeast 
quickly  strengthens  your  internal  mus- 
cles and  gives  them  tone.  It  stimulates 
your  whole  digestive  and  eliminative 
system  to  normal,  healthy  function. 

With  the  true  cause  of  your  trouble 
corrected,  pimples  and  blotches  soon 
disappear.  Indigestion  stops.  Headaches 
go.  Pep  returns.  You  look  better  and 
feel  better! 

Don't  confuse  Yeast  Foam  Tablets 
with  ordinary  yeast.  These  tablets  can- 
not cause  fermentation  in  the  body.  Pas- 
teurization makes  Yeast  Foam  Tablets 
utterly  safe  for  everyone  to  eat. 

Any  druggist  will  supply  you  with 
Yeast  Foam  Tablets.  The  10-day  bot- 
tle costs  only  50c.  Get

fingertips  through  the 
magic  of  the  radio  dial.  I 
mean  that,  "figure-atively" 
speaking,  for  with  a  twist 
of  the  dial,  you  can  bring 
two  experts  right  into  your 
own  private  home  gym- 
nasium to  instruct  you  in 
the  art  of  developing  a  per- 
fect figure,  a  lithe  carriage, 
and  a  happier  outlook  on 
life  when  you  gaze  in  a 
full-length  mirror.  With 
the  famous  Madame  Sylvia 
of  Hollywood  and  now  of 
Radio,  and  Arthur  E.  Bag- 
ley,  director  of  the  largest 

gymnasium  class  in  the  world,  as  your  "keeping  fit"  in- 
structors, you  should  accomplish  wonders  IF  you  yourself 
give  them  the  right  co-operation. 

Last  month  in  these  columns  we  talked  about  Radio's 
Beauty  Queen,  the  lovely  Dorothy  Page,  and  emphasized 
the  part  that  sports,  and  most  especially  swimming,  have 
played  in  her  health  and  beauty  career.  She  has  the  vital 
sort  of  beauty  that  goes  with  perfect  health.  Classic 
features  mean  nothing  without  health  and  vitality,  a  beau- 
tiful body,  sparkling  eyes,  and  a  clear  skin.  And  the 
woman  who  possesses  these  things  is  beautiful  in  the  only 
important  sense  of  the  word.  So  because  of  the  supreme 
importance  of  health,  and  thus  in  the  final  analysis  of

Mary  Biddie  is  going  to  give  you  "a  hand"  at 
the  very  start  with  your  exercise  program,  a  sort 
of  reward  for  all  your  good  resolutions.  She  has 
a  little  present  for  you  ...  a  very  lovely  hand 
lotion.  Write  for  the  gift  packet  to  Mary  Biddie, 
RADIO  STARS,  149  Madison  Avenue,  New  York, 
N.  Y.  The  offer  is  limited,  so  write  in  early. 
Don't  forget  to  ask  for  copies  of  her  diet  and 
exercise  instructions  if  you  want  them! 


too  little  exercise,  I  scoured 
around  for  the  simplest, 
most  common-sense  advice 
I  could  find  to  give  you  this 
month  about  those  two 
bogies,  exercise  and  diet. 

Diet  and  exercise !  Now 
don't  curl  down  further 
into  the  warm  bed  covers, 
or  cut  yourself  another 
slice  of  chocolate  marsh- 
mallow  layer  cake  when 
you  hear  those  words. 
Here's  good  news  for  you. 

You  know  there  are  ex- 
ercise   fanatics,    and  diet 
fanatics,  who  scare  off  even 
the  hardiest  souls  with  their 
complicated,  and  sometimes 
bewildering,  advice.    I  have 
known  many  a  physical  "culturist"  who  rarely  practiced 
what  he  preached;  and  many  a  one,  who,  if  he  did  prac- 
tice what  he  preached,  failed  to  get  very  far  in  point  of 
results.    Thus  to  find  two  people  whose  advice  is  simpk 
and  sane ;  who  actually  practice  what  they  preach,  anc 
get  results  themselves ;  and  who  offer  no  false  lures  of 
sugar-coated,  soft-cushioned  ways  of  keeping  fit  or  reduc 
ing  or  gaining  weight ;  and  to  find  their  instructions  avail 
able  on  the  radio  ...  all  this  is  something  of  a  miracle 
We're  going  to  start  right  off  with  getting  you  out  o 
bed  (it  may  be  a  cold  morning,  but  we're  going  to  b< 
hard  boiled  about  this)  to  the  tune  of  the  chimes  of  Mr 
Bagley's  early  morning  broadcast.    The  chimes  alway 
open  and  close  the  exercise  program.    I  attended  one  o

It  was  Ada  who  really  saved  me.  I  was 
telling  her  how  Bill  and  I  had  quarreled 
that  morning  because  I  couldn't  get  his 
shirts  white  enough  to  suit  him. 


And  am  I  glad  I  listened  to  Ada!  My 
washes  are  like  snow.  They've  lost  every 
bit  of  tattle-tale  gray.  Bill's  so  tickled 
with  the  way  his  shirts  look  that  he's 
been  sweet  as  pie  ever  since! 


"Your  trouble  sounds  like  tattle-tale 
gray,"  Ada  told  me — "and  that  means  left- 
over dirt.  Change  to  Fels-Naptha  —  its 
richer  golden  soap  and  lots  of  naptha  get 
out  ALL  the  dirt." 


YOU  bet  Fels-Naptha  will  get  your 
clothes  cleaner — and  whiter: 
For  Fels-Naptha  brings  you  something 
that  no  "trick"  soap  can — two  dirt-loos- 
eners instead  of  one.  Not  just  soap  alone, 
but  good  golden  soap  with  plenty  of  dirt- 
loosening  naptha. 

Chip  Fels-Naptha  into  your  washing 
machine — and  sec  what  a  gorgeous  job  it 
does.  It's  great  in  your  tub  and  for  soak- 
ing or  boiling.  You'll  find  it  gentle — safe 
for  your  finest  silk  stockings  and  daintiest 
lingerie.  And  it's  kind  to  hands,  too — for 
there's  soothing  glycerine  in  every  golJen 
bar! .  .  .  Fcls  &  Co.,  Phil.,  Pa.  en.»»co.,  <•••

"I  took  Wmyse/jf^ 
when  I  was  a  little  girl 


HERE  is  a  scene  that  happens  thou- 
sands of  times  a  day. 
For  how  natural  it  is  for  a  mother  to 
give  her  child  the  laxative  that  she,  herself, 
has  taken  and  trusted  ever  since  she  was  a 
little  girl.  The  laxative  her  mother  gave 
her.  For  28  years  Ex-Lax  has  been  America's 
favorite  laxative.  Its  leadership  has  never 
been  challenged.  More  people  buy  it  than 
any  other  laxative.  There  must  be  a  reason. 
There  are  . . .  reasons! 

Ex-Lax  checks  on  every  point 

Before  you  ever  take  a  laxative,  or  give  one  to 
any  member  of  your  family, be  sure  it  checks 
on  these  points  ...  Is  it  thorough?  Is  it 
gentle?  Are  you  sure  it  won't  form  a 
habit?  Is  it  pleasant  to  take? 

Many  laxatives  check  on  one  point  or 
another.  Ex-Lax  checks  on  all! 

Ex-Lax  is  as  thorough  as  any  laxative  you 
can  take.  Completely  effective.  Yet  Ex-Lax 
is  so  gentle  it  will  not  cause  stomach  pains, 
or  upset  you,  or  leave  you  feeling  weak 
afterwards.  Except  for  the  perfect  results, 
you  hardly  know  you've  taken  a  laxative. 

Ex-Lax  positively  will  not  form  a  habit 
—  you  do  not  need  to  keep  on  increasing 
the  dose  to  get  results.  And  that  is  a  vitally 
important  point  in  a  laxative. 

And  Ex-Lax  is  such  a  joy  to  take.  Instead 
of  swallowing  some  bitter  medicine,  you 


eat  a  little  tablet  that  tastes  just  like  de- 
licious chocolate. 

And,  that  "Certain  Something" 

These  are  the  cold  facts  about  Ex-Lax.  But 
there  is  more  than  that.  It's  the  ideal  com- 
bination of  all  these  qualities— combined 
in  the  exclusive  Ex-Lax  way — that  gives 
Ex-Lax  a  "certain  something"— a  certain 
satisfaction  —  that  words  just  can't  describe. 
But  once  you  try  Ex-Lax  you'll  know  what 
we  mean.  And  you'll  understand  why  you 
can't  get  perfect  Ex-Lax  results  with  any- 
thing but  Ex-Lax. 

Ex-Lax  comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  at 
any  drug  store.  If  you  would  like  a  free

IT 


as  told  to 


Walter  Ramsey 


IE  radio  is  my  new  love  anc 
•ight  now  it  is  my  most  im- 
portant career!  No,  I  haven'1 
forgotten  the  stage,  and  the 
movies  are  part  and  parcel  of  my  life 
But  I  have  always  believed  that  pro-  J 
fessional  women  should  have  twc  1 
careers — one  to  be  the  background,  the  | 
framework,  the  foundation;  the  other! 
to  be  something  done  for  the  sheer  jo>  I 
and  love  of  doing  it !  In  my  case,  mo- 1 
tion  pictures  are.  of  course,  the  founda-  I 
tion.  Radio  I  am  doing  for  the  ex-  I 
citement  and  keen  interest  I  find  ir  I 
the  work.  I  am  so  completely  wrappec  I 
up  in  my  new  thrill,  I  am  afraid  every-  I 
thing  else  is  going  to  have  to  wait  foi  t 
a  while. 

Down  at  the  station  from  wherew 
my  programs  are  broadcast,  they  an'l 
beginning  to  have  a  lot  of  fun  witl 
me.  You  see,  I  can't  keep  awaj  I 
from  the  place.  On  my  days  offil 
I  take  a  "bus  man's  holiday"  righ  \ 
back  to  the  studios  and  watch  other! 
companies  rehearse  !  That's  how  badly  1 
I'm  bitten  by  the  radio  bug. 

I  read  in  the  paper  the  other  da} 
that  Rudy  Vallee  was  sweet  enougl  I 
to  say  he  was  thrilled,  because  I  wa:j« 
on  hand  to  introduce  his  program  ' 
which  was  being  broadcast  temporarily 
from  the  West  Coast.   As  a  matter  o:  f 
fact  they  couldn't  keep  me  away  tha]  " 
day.    I  greatly  envy  radio  headliner: 
like  Mr.  Vallee  who  have  such  pois< 
and  confidence  before  that  "ol'  davil 
Mike"  and  I  love  to  watch  them  a  & 
work. 

The  other  day  a  friend  said :  "Mary 
I  simply  can't  understand  your  hectiii 
enthusiasm  for  all  this.  After  the 
thrills  and  excitement  of  making  pic' 
tures  I  should  think  the  cut-and-dried 
now-you're-on-and-now-you're-off  sys 
tern  of  the  radio  would  be  boring  tc 
you." 

Boring?    This  is  my  little  secret-~| 
just  between  the  half  million  of  nsw

WHY  DO  THEY  CALL  MARY  PICKFORD 
THE  HARDEST  WORKER  IN  HOLLY- 
WOOD? AND  THE  SMARTEST  BUSINESS 
WOMAN?  THIS  STORY  IS  A  CLUE  


Mary  Piclcford 
and  John  Mack 
Brown,  who  has 
been  in  her 
movies  and  on 
her  radio 
program. 


■sclav  evenings  for  my  radio  half- 
>ur  over  the  network.  That  is 
>w  boring  the  cut-and-dried  sys- 
m  of  radio  is  to  me.  As  much  as 
love  pictures  I  can't  ever  remem- 
;r  losing  any  great  amount  of 
eep  over  one. 

Radio  is  so  new  to  me,  so  exhil- 
•ating !  About  me  there  are  new 
ices,  new  personalities,  new  ideas 
orking  in  a  new  medium !  There 
:e  no  traditions ;  no  hard  and  fast 
lies  to  fight,  such  as  one  encoun- 
:rs  on  the  stage,  and,  yes,  in  Holly- 
ood,  too.  The  minute  you  step 
,oot  in  a  radio  station  you  feel 
ut  the  big  trails  of  radio  are  wait- 
lg  to  be  blazed !  The  demand  is 
or  newness  .  .  .  aliveness  .  .  .  orig- 
lality.  There  is  no  one  to  say, 
We  can't  do  that  because  it  doesn't 
HO  well  in  Podunk."  On  the  radio 
here  are  no  yesterdays,  only  tomor- 
ows.  And  for  that  one  reason  it 
,ill  always  remain  the  most  perpet- 
ally  youthful  entertainment.  It  is 
lie  art  of  sound  and  mystery.  The 
Jea  of  the  unseen  artist  playing  to 
lis  or  her  unseen  audience  is  awe- 
nspiring. 

When  that  all-important  little  red 
igbt  goes  on  it  demands  perfection. 
To  me,  it  is  as  though  it  spoke  and 
.aid:  "For  thirty  minutes,  to  the 
•  ery  clock  tick,  your  voice  and  per- 
ionality  will  be  hurtled  through 
-pace  into  the  homes  and  perhaps 
he  hearts  of  millions  of  people. 
You  must  do  what  you  have  to  do 
perfectly,  for  there  is  no  turning 
)ack  the  hands  of  the  clock,  no  rec- 
tifying of  mistakes.  These  few 
minutes  of  time  demand  your  ul- 
timate effort!" 

In  making  pictures,  it  is  en- 
tirely different.  We  rehearse  and 
rehearse  until  we  think  we  have  the 
scene  and  our  lines  perfectly.  Even 
after  the  camera  starts  to  grind,  it 
does  not  really  matter  if  we  make  a 


mistake.  You  say  "Sorry"  .  .  . 
the  director  says  "Cut"  .  .  .  and 
everyone  starts  all  over  again.  On 
the  stage,  before  such  a  small 
group,  mistakes  are  frequently  cov- 
ered up  by  adlibbing  and  general 
stalling  until  the  prompter  can  con- 
veniently give  you  your  cue.  But 
the  moment  you  step  into  that 
sound-proof  studio  there  are  no 
obliging  directors  to  say  "Cut,"  no 
prompters  to  whisper  you  on  your 
way  again,  no  time  to  correct  your 
errors.  To  make  a  little  joke  of 
it :  when  that  fateful  little  light  goes 
on  you  are  on  and  you  must  be 
good,  or  you  will  be  off  the  next 
time  the  program  goes  on. 

As  long  as  I  live  I'll  never  for- 
get our  first  program,  "The  Church 
Mouse."  We  rehearsed  for  days 
and  days.  We  thought  we  were  let- 
ter-perfect in  our  lines  and  timing. 
Two  hours  before  we  went  on  the 
air,  we  arrived  at  the  studio  and 
started  final  rehearsals.  And  the 
more  we  rehearsed  the  worse  we 
got. 

An  hour  ...  a  half-hour  .  .  .  fif- 
teen minutes  .  .  .  ten  minutes  .  .  . 
and  the  company  was  on  the  verge 
of  a  nervous  breakdown.  I  kept 
dropping  my  script,  forgetting  im- 
portant lines.  The  music  played  too 
loudly,  then  too  softly.  Men  with- 
out coats  ran  to  and  fro. 

Five  minutes  .  .  .  two  minutes. 
I  felt  I  could  hardly  breathe.  I 
wanted  to  back  out,  for  a  moment 
I  wished  they  could  find  a  substi- 
tute. Then  .suddenly  one  more  min- 
ute! 1  held  out  my  hand  to  see  if 
it  were  shaking  with  the  same  ner- 
vousness I  felt  inwardly. 

Suddenly  the  red  light,  the  voice 
of  the  announcer,  a  second  before 
he  had  been  as  hectic  as  the  rest  of 
us,  but  now  he  was  calm  and  stead- 
ied. My  hand  was  not  shaking!

Nino  Martini 
has  made  up  his 
mind  to  face  the 
camera.  He  goes 
to  Hollywood  this 
spring.  It  will  be 
his  second  movie 
experience ;  the 
first  time  being 
his  arrival  in  the 


U.  S.  from  his  native  Italy.  In  fact  it 
was  a  movie  producer  visiting  abroad 
who  saw  and  heard  and  brought  the 
handsome  Nino  to  these  shores. 

Did  you  know  that  Carol  Deis, 
the  young  and  beautiful  warbler,  is 
the  mother  of  an  eight-year-old  son, 
Donald?  Since  parting  with  her 
husband,  her  name  is  being  linked 
with  that  of  a  New  York  press 
agent.    We  don't  think  it's  serious. 

Morton  Down- 
ey is  a  radio 
freak.  He  had  his 
buildup  to  fame 
over  CBS  which 
has  him  under 
contract.  Now 
he's  drawing  a 
few  -  thousand -a- 
week  salary  on  an  NBC  program, 


paying  commissions  to  CBS.  Only 
in  radio  can  such  things  happen.  And 
in  radio  anything  can  happen. 

Russell  Brown,  the  baritone  sing- 
ing from  St.  Louis,  is  newly  mar- 
ried.   She's  also  a  St.  Louisan. 

Ted  Husing  is  romancing,  or  so 
says  rumor,  with  a  Broadway  eyeful. 

Frances  Lang- 
ford,  after  three 
weeks  on  the 
Monday  night 
House  Party 
show  left  sud- 
denly for  Holly- 
wood to  take 
picture  tests.  With 
her  went  Ken  Dolan,  her  manager, 
which  revived  those  rumors  about 
the  singer  and  Ken.  "Are  they  mar- 
ried?" people  ask.  To  which  ques- 
tion the  couple  shuts  up  like  a  clam. 
Frankly,  Radio  City  doesn't  know. 
But  on  every  hand  one  hears,  "I 
think  they  are."  Dolan  formerly 
managed  Shirley  Howard,  another 
songstress,  but  dropped  her  to  de- 
vote his  full  time  to  Miss  Langford. 

This  Hollywood  move  again  neces- 
sitated a  change  in  the  House  Party 


show.    That,  you  recall,  is  the  pr<

Thibault,  Fritzi  ScheflF,  Risa  Ste'l 
ens  and  Don  Voorhees'  band.  Trj

and    substituted    Peggy  Allenb)

her  contract  with

own  jobs.  Next  the  rumors  about  her 
romance  were  revived.  And  now  we 
learn  that  she  is  being  given  a  build- 
up, that  she's  doing  better  work,  and 
the  end  of  it  may  mean  a  big  new 
program  to  start  this  spring.

for  the  latter  was  to  use  well  known 
men  to  do  the  chattering.  As  long 
as  names  only  were  used,  everything 
was  lovely.  But  it  was  explained 
that  names  alone  were  not  enough, 
that  the  names  should  be  identified

Any  radio  magazine  is  bound  to  receive  many 
letters  from  radio  listeners.  Most  of  those  letters 
make  complaints  or  ask  questions.  Occasionally, 
one  tears  at  your  heart.  This  one,  for  instance: 
Dear  Mr.  Editor: 

I  am  blind,  yet  life  has  been  good  to  me. 

As  a  girl,  I  visited  New  York  with  my  parents 
and  saw,  on  the  stage,  Maude  Adams,  Mrs. 
Fiske,   and   Sarah   Bernhardt.  Some 
times,  I  even  dreamed  of  becoming 
a  great  actress  myself.  That  was 
before  the  accident. 

The  accident  burned  the  skin 
from  my  eyes  and  I  have  never 
been  able  to  see  since.  Back 
home,  out  here  in  the  West, 
1  resigned  myself  to  such  a 
life  as  you  will  never  be  able 
to  imagine.  Friends  tried  to 
help  me  with  too  sweet  kindli- 
ness. 

No  one  who  can  see  will  ever 
know  how  empty  were  those  next 
years.    No  one  can  'understand  the 
nollowness  of  such  an  existence  for  a  girl 
who  had  too  few  memories. 

Yet,  life  has  been  good.  Many,  many  times  I 
have  thanked  God  that  His  Goodness  gave  to 
those  afflicted  as  I  am  the  blessing  of  the  radio. 


For  radio  has  filled  all  those  empty  tomorrows  and 
brought  me  a  future. 

One  program  particularly  has  given  me  great 
joy.    That  program  is  the  Lux  Radio  Theatre. 
•  When  I  could  see,  I  loved  the  stage  quietly  but 
deeply,  and  the  knowledge  that  I  could  no  longer 
visit  New  York  and  the  theatre  was  the  cruellest 
part  of   my   burden.    Now,    Broadway  is 
brought  to  me;  the  fine  plays  I  have 
heard  about,  the  strong  voices  of 
the  men  and  women  who  have 
become  famous  since  I  entered 
this  house  of  darkness. 
Please  understand  that  this 
letter  of  mine  is  no  impulsive 
gesture.     Rather,  it  comes 
from  the  heart.  Believe  me, 
it  is  my  prayer  of  Thanks- 
giving that  a   miracle  has 
brought  me  back  into  life. 

Sincerely,  Miss  A          M  . 

Because  many  people,  people 
who  are  not  blind,   are  finding 
themselves    delighted    and  enter- 
tained   by    the    splendidly  produced 
Sunday  afternoon  dramas,   RADIO  STARS 
Magazine   awards   to   the    Lux    Radio  Theatre

Radio.

OU'VE  often  heard  that  Jane  Froman  and  Don 
Ross  are  the  most  happily  married  couple  in 
J  f     radio.    But  you  also  prohably  have  heard  stories 
that  pictured  Don  as  a  gigolo  and  a  parasite 
living  on  Jane's  money.    Jane  is  sick  and  disgusted  with 
those  stories.    Don  is  burnt  up  about  them.    And  I,  as  a 
sjood  friend  of  theirs,  am  so  fed  up  with  those  rumors 
that  I  want  to  blow  off  all  I  know  and  clear  up  the  mess 
once  and  for  all ! 

Don  has  been  through  all  of  the  humiliation  and  em- 
barrassment that  it  is  possible  for  any  self-respecting  man 
to  undergo.  For  instance,  here  are  just  a  few  of  the 
things  he's  had  to  listen  to:  ( 1.)  That  he  is  a  hindrance  to 
Jane's  career.  (2.)  That  he  is  a  failure  on  his  own  and 
is  supported  by  his  wife.  (3.)  That  the  only  jobs  he  does 
get  are  through  Jane's  "pull"  and  influence.  (4.)  That 
he  prevented  Jane  from  accepting  jobs  that  didn't  in- 
clude him.  (5.)  Hear  himself  sarcastically  referred 
to  as  "Mr.  Jane  Froman."  And  so  forth  and  so  on,  ad 
nauseum. 

Let  me  answer  these  rumors  one  by  one,  so  that  you 
will  know  the  truth  for  the  first  time. 

To  begin  with,  if  it  hadn't  been  for  Dan  Ross,  Jane 


Froman  tvould  not  be  the  successful  radio  star  that  she 
today!  I  say  that  with  finality  and  without  fear  of  c( 
tradiction  to  disprove  the  accusation  that  Don  is  a  "h 
drance"  to  her  career.    Here's  why. 

Long  before  Jane  ever  dreamed  of  Incoming  a  sinj 
Don  was  successful.  He  and  his  partner  were  a  singi  • 
team  in  some  of  the  leading  Broadway  shows  for  abt 
ten  years  before  Jane  came  into  his  life.  It  was  wh 
he  was  a  star  on  Cincinnati's  famous  station  WLW  tl 
he  met  Jane,  then  a  struggling  young  novice  to  the  a 

I  won't  go  into  the  details  of  their  romance  except 
say  that  it  was  a  case  of  love  at  first  sight.  Don,  I  belie 
was  the  only  person  in  the  world  at  that  time  who  h 
any  faith  in  Jane's  voice.  He  now  had  two  careers 
handle — his  own  and  Jane's. 

His  own,  however,  was  a  case  of  clear  sailing.  B< 
the  networks  in  Chicago  held  out  very  attractive  off*, 
to  Don  and  his  partner.    So  here  we  have  Don  settled 
Chicago,  a  featured  artist  of  the  air. 

His  next  job  was  getting  Jane  on.  Believe  it  or  n. 
that  was  pretty  hard  work  !  The  radio  executives  could : 
see  her  at  all.  Finally  Don  managed  to  place  her  w  i 
Paul  Whiteman.  But,  clever  man,  he  insisted  that  Jant  - 
an  unknown,  mind  you — be  given  prominent  billing 
her  own,  and  not  merely  listed  with  the  rest  of  the  Whi  - 
man  troupe.  Sounds  unimportant,  doesn't  it,  but  tl: 
cautious  bit  of  showmanship  on  Don's  part  saved  Jjj

from  the  fate  of  being  just  another  girl  singer  with  a 
band.  That  fine  bit  of  strategy  helped  make  a  star  of 
Jane  Froman. 

After  several  months,  Don  felt  that  now  he  and  Jane 
were  ready  for  New  York.  At  this  stage  Fate  and  Don 
Ross  contrived  to  shoot  Jane  up  to  stardom,  while 
strangely  enough  at  this  very  time  Don's  career  was  in- 
terrupted by  an  unexpected  occurrence. 

His  partner  suddenly  left  him.  Do  you  know  what  that 
meant?  Don,  for  the  first  time,  had  to  go  out  on  his  own 
as  a  singer.  Had  to  scrap  his  entire  act,  his  whole  method 
of  singing,  and  practically  start  over.  Radio  executives 
and  booking  agents  who  had  heard  of  the  team  were  a  bit 
wary  of  taking  Don  Ross  alone.  You  see  how  it  was. 
But  Don  wasn't  worried.  He  was 
used  to  the  ups  and  downs  of  show 
business,  and  he  knew  that  in  time 
he'd  be  right  up  on  top  again.  Be- 
sides, he  had  plenty  of  money  saved 
to  tide  him  and  Jane  over  just 
such  periods. 

Meanwhile,  he  was  throwing  all  the 
weight  of  his  ten  odd  years  of  show 
experience  in  building  up  Jane.  A 
beautiful  voice  alone  doesn't  do  it. 
One  rash  move  could  end  a  career 
forever,  a  clever  move  could  make 
one.    Don  knew  it— and  so  did  Jane. 


THE  TRUTH  ABOUT 


THAT  JANE  FROMAN- 


DON  ROSS  MARRIAGE 


(Above)  Jane  tells  the  secret 
ambitions  she  hopes  to  realize 
within   the   neit   two  years. 


She  left  everything  to  him.  Several  small  offers  came 
her  way,  but  he  wouldn't  let  her  accept  them.  "You've 
got  to  be  identified  with  the  best  and  the  biggest,  otherwise 
you'll  never  have  an  important  name." 

Finally  it  came — the  big  offer.  It  was  the  cigarette 
program,  and  it  was  through  Don's  efforts  that  Jane  got 
that  commercial.  It  was  just  what  she  needed  to  zoom 
her  straight  to  stardom.  The  program  had  hitherto 
starred  Btng  Crosby  and  Ruth  Ktting,  topnotchers  in 
radio.  Now  Jane  Froman,  the  little  girl  who  had  just 
come  in  from  Chicago,  shared  the  same  glorious  spot- 
light. It  put  her  in  the  star  class  immediately.  In  each 
and  every  step  up,  from  Cincinnati  to  Chicago  to  New 
York  and  stardom,  it  was  Don  Ross  who  paved  the  way 

for  Jane  to  step  up  each  golden 
rung  in  the  ladder  of  glory. 

You  must  remember,  it's  one 
job  to  get  on  top,  but  it's  a 
tougher  job  to  stay  there.  Now 
Jane  has  about  as  much  business 
sense  as  my  cat  Josephine,  but 
Don  sees  to  it  that  she  makes  no 
false  moves.  For  instance,  about 
two  years  ago  a  theatre  in  Chi- 
cago wired  Jane  an  offer  of  $200 
a  week  to  appear  there.  Jane 
was  delighted  with  it,  but  Don 
put  his  foot  down.  "If  you  take 
that,  honey,  you'll  never  get  out 
of  that  $200-a-week  class,  and 
they'll  never  want  to  pay  you  more.    Wait  another  year." 

There  were  many  who  thought  he  was  foolish  to  advise 
her  so.  "He's  ruining  her  career,"  were  the  whispers. 
Well,  exactly  one  year  later  Jane  was  singing  in  that  same 
theatre — at  $1,000  a  week!  Ruining  her  career?  Don't 
make  me  laugh. 

In  fact,  the  only  time  Jane  didn't  follow  Don's  advice 
the  results  were  almost  disastrous.  He  planned  and  pre- 
pared her  theatrical  act  and  taught  her  those  little  stage 
tricks  which  would  make  her  go  over.  She  was  such  a 
great  success  that  she  was  held  over  another  week. 

But  when  he  wanted  to  prepare  a  new,  fresh  skit  for 
her  second  week,  Jane  protested.  "No  dear,"  she  said, 
"it  isn't  necessary.  All  I  have  to  do  is  go  out  and  sing. 
There's  really  nothing  to  it." 

So  Don  let  her  have  her  own  way.  At  the  end  of  the 
first  performance  he  found  Jane  in  her  dressing-room 
crying.  "It  was  terrible.  They  didn't  like  me,"  she  wept. 
"I  hardly  got  any  applause  at  all.    What's  the  matter?" 

HE  told  her  what  the  matter  was.  He  selected  different 
songs  for  her,  wrote  a  new  act,  coached  her  and  re- 
hearsed her.  The  next  day,  with  the  new  routine  that  he 
had  planned,  she  was  again  the  glamorous,  sensational  star 
who  was  called  back  for  encore  after  encore  by  the  enthu- 
siastic audience.  Do  you  wonder  now  that  Don  "med- 
dles" in  his  wife's  career,  or  that  she  places  everything  on 
his  capable  shoulders  ?  You  must  admit,  judging  by  Jane's 
phenomenal  success  that  he's  Jone  a  darned  good  job  of  it. 

But  let's  get  lwck  to  Don.  What's  happened  to  him? 
Has  he  been  a  failure  in  his  own  work,  just  living  the 
easy  life  of  a  "celebrity's  husband?"    I  should  say  not! 

Don  has  a  thrilling  baritone  voice,  and  it  took  only  about 
five  months  after  he  had  come  to  New  York  before  he 
got  back  on  his  feet  again.  Then  jobs  came  thick  and 
fast.  He  was  loaded  down  with  recording  and  transcrip- 
tion jobs.     Then  came  the  (Continued  on  page  58)

IF  YOUR  RIGHT  HAND  DOESN'T  KNOW  WHAT  YOUR  LEFT  IS  DOING, 


7  A  %  BUNCH  of  Dutch  Schultz's  muscle  men  were 
! A  \  whooping  it  up  in  a  fifty-ump  street  night  club 
when  through  the  doorway  drifted  a  familiar, 
high-pitched  nasal  voice. 
"Winchell  in  person,"  said  the  newcomer,  chucking  the 
hat-check  girl  under  the  chin.  "Winchell  in  the  flash,"  he 
cracked  to  the  headwaiter  who  bowed  deeply  and  led  him 
to  a  table  on  the  floor.  "Bring  me  whiskey,  bring  me  wo- 
men, bring  me.  .  .  ." 

The  muscle  men  looked  at  each  other  and  remembered 
Mr.  Winchell  had  been  saying  nasty  things  about  their 
Mr.  Schultz.  So  the  muscle  men  went  to  the  table  on 
the  floor,  jerked  its  occupant  out  of  his  chair  and  gave 
him  what  they  jokingly  described  as  "the  works."  When 
they  were  done,  there  was  hardly  any  flesh,  certainly  little 
flash  left  in  the  nasal  body.  He  was  alive  but  he  was  not 
much  more  than  a  face  on  the  barroom  floor. 

But  luck  was  with  Walter  that  night.  It  wasn't  Walter 
who  took  the  beating  but  a  smart  aleck  imposter  who, 
posing  as  Walter,  thought  to  grab  himself  the  free  cakes

and  ale  the  name  Winchell  commands.  Which  gives  you 
an  idea  of  how  dangerous  is  this  job  of  watching  the 
world  through  a  keyhole. 

It  also  gives  me  an  opportunity  to  inquire  in  a  whisper, 
how  long  can  he  get  away  with  it  ?  He  has  been  stabbing, 
slashing  and  sand-bagging  the  citizenry  of  the  common- 
wealth nigh  on  ten  years.  His  mail  holds  a  threat  a  day. 
They  come  to  him  on  scented  stationery  and  butcher  paper 
— and  they  seem  to  mean  what  they  say. 

Will  they  kill  Winchell? 

The  answer  is  no.  The  logical  assassins — the  gangsters 
whose  secrets  he  learns  and  lays  before  the  police  and  the 
public — don't  dare.  The  man  is  too  prominent.  Has  too 
many  friends  in  the  upper  and  underworld.   He  is  uu

Jake  Lingle,  the  Chicago  Tribune  reporter  who  was 
bumped  off  without  a  boo  from  his  bosses. 

They  did  have  it  under  consideration  once  when  it 
seemed  to  them  Mr.  Winchell  knew  and  was  about  to  say 
who  filled  the  body  of  Vincent  Coll  with  lead  in  a  drug- 
store telephone  booth.  But  they  didn't.  The  men  who 
paid  the  killers  were  too  smart.  They  reasoned  rightly 
that  a  dead  Winchell  would  produce  a  storm  which  would 
sweep  them  and  their  rackets  out  of  existence. 

The  answer  is  no  because  Winchell  is  too  careful.  He 
never  travels  without  a  bodyguard.  The  guard  is  also  a 
witness.  Double  protection,  for  the  "mogul  scandal  mon- 
ger," as  he  calls  himself,  fears  frame-ups  more  than  he 
fears  bullets. 


Wide  World 


His  haters  know  that  to  get  Winchell,  he  must  be  killed 
or  framed.  His  life  is  a  clean  sheet.  He  has  been  trailed 
by  experts.  He  may  stay  up  until  seven  every  morning, 
haunting  night  clubs  of  Broadway  and  Harlem,  mixing 
with  the  toughest,  fastest,  most  evil  company  in  the  world, 
the  gay  cats,  lone  wolves,  ex-convicts — but  he  mingles  as 
a  reporter.  His  personal  life  is  immaculate. 

The  Nazi  Government  in  Germany,  upset  by  Winchell's 
continuous  attacks,  sent  two  special  agents  to  investigate 
him — with  a  view  to  silencing  him  either  by  bribery  or  by 
death.  They  reported  him  immune  to  offers  of  money, 
indifferent  to  the  fair  sex.  Winchell  somehow  got  hold 
of  the  report  and  was  brazen  enough  to  publish  it  in  his 
column.  That  was  buffoonery — it  was  also  journalistic 
genius. 

Like  the  gangsters,  these  agents  and  their  supporters 
who  call  themselves  the  Friends  of  New  Germany,  are 
said  to  have  solemnly  considered  wiping  Herr  Walter 
from  off  the  Broadway  scene.  They  too  dropped  the  en- 
terprise— too  risky.  They  gnash  their  molars,  it  is  their 
only  reply  to  the  machine  gun   (Continued  on  page  70)

BY  JAMES  ELL  WOOD,  JR. 


IN  THE  BEGINNING  there  was  Lanny  Ross. 

In  the  beginning  there  was  Muriel  Wilson  whom  you 
know  as  Mary  Lou  of  Captain  Henry's  Show  Boat. 

In  the  end,  there  was  heartbreak.  Three  long  secret 
years  of  it. 

I  know  the  awful  price  Muriel  Wilson  had  to  pay  for 
Show  Boat  stardom,  and  the  inside  story  of  why- 
she  had  to  pay  it.    I  do  not  think  it  has 
been  worth  the  price,  all  these  years 
Let  me  tell  you  about  it.    She  had 
never   known   love   until  that 
morning.  Eight  a.  m.  of  a  sun 
ny  autumn  Sunday,  and  the 
occasion   a  hymn-singing 
broadcast.  They  were  in- 
troduced to  each  other, 
hurriedly,  just  before 
the  program  went  on 
the  air.  An  orchestra 
played  "Lead  Kindly 
Light,"   "The  Old 
Rugged  Cross"  and 
"Beautiful  Isle  of 
Somewhere"  and 
they  sang  together. 
When    it    was  all 
over  he  walked  up 
Fifth  Avenue  with 
her,  out  into  a  world 
that    was    all  chilly 
bright  yellowness  and 
blue  heaven  and  tall  de- 
serted skyscrapers.  Stroll- 
ing beside  him  she  found 
herself  liking  the  way  he 
talked,  his  easy  athletic  gait, 
the  strength  of  his  forehead  and 
chin,  his  cobalt  muffler,  a  generous 
gayety  in  his  laugh,  the  way  he  insisted 
upon  shaking  paws  with  a  dirty  mongrel 
pup  in  the  subway  station. 

He  asked  if  he  might  come  to  call  just 
before  he  left  her. 

Back  at  home  she  excitedly  told  it  all 
over  to  herself  for  the  thousandth  time. 
Fred  Hufsmith.  Thirty-four  and  Penn- 
sylvania-Dutch. Concert,  Chautauqua,  the 
stage,  then  radio.  A  clear  pure  tenor. 
Funny  she  hadn't  met  him  over  at  the  studios  before.  He 
had  noticed  her  lots  of  times  he  said.  He  had  nice  shoul- 
ders. Handsome  too.  Tomorrow  night !  She'd  wear  the 
new  silver  lame.  And  just  before  he  left  her — O 
remember: 

"There's  something  I  like  about  your  eyes,  Miss  Wil- 
son." Perfectly  seriously.  Then  he  walked  away. 

The  thing  she  had  lived  twenty-five  years  for  had  hap- 
pened. Muriel  knew.  And  for  a  little  while  she  was 
more  completely  happy  than  she  had  ever  dreamed  she 
could  be. 

Until,  on  the  heels  of  love  came  radio's  Show  Boat. 
30 


Seated:  Mary  Lou  (Muriel 
Wilson).  Standing,  left  to 
right:  Fred  Hufsmith,  May 
Singhi  Breen,  Peter  de  Rose, 
and  George  Engels,  radio 
executive,  who  introduced 
Mary  Lou  and  Fred. 


Show  Boat  was  a  big,  new  idea.  Radio  had  nothing 
like  it.  A  big  boat  on  the  Ohio  River  and  Mississippi, 
peopled  with  glamorous  actors  and  actresses.  An  impor- 
tant part  of  the  idea  was  the  romance  angle.  Darried 
important.  Get  a  boy  and  a  girl  in  love  and  the  country 
would  sjt  up  waiting  for  them  every  night. 

Well,  the  men  who  cooked  up  that  idea  didn't  know 
what  they  were  starting  when  they  found 
the  girl.    Her  name  was  Muriel  Wil- 
son and  she  had  brown  curls  and 
dancing  blue  eyes  and  a  voice 
that  could  make  a  nightingale 
tuck  its  head  under  its  wing. 
And  the  boy  they  found 
was  named  Lanny  Ross,  a 
handsome  blond  fellow 
who  seemed  to  know 
what  to  give  a  love 
song  to  make  it  go 
over.   They  named 
the  girl  Mary  Lou, 
they  put  her  across 
the  microphone 
from    the  young 
man  named  Ross, 
and     Show  Boat 
went    on    the  air. 
How    they  made 
love,  those  two !  It 
couldn't  be  make-be- 
lieve.  When  she  sang 
to  him  you  could  tell  it 
was  real  by  the  very  tone 
of  her  voice.  And  he,  even 
when  he  just  said  her  name 
("Mary  Lou"  sort  of  softly- 
like)  it  showed,  love  did.  You 
could  tell  all  right.   Besides,  it  was 
nice  to  think  of  those  two  radio  stars 
really  being  crazy  about  each  other,  both 
charming  and  famous  and  romantic  and 
everything.    It  made  listening  to  Show 
Boat  lots  more  interesting.    The  papers 
and  radio  magazines  were  always  telling 
the  latest  news  about  the  pair.    It  was 
fun  keeping  up  with  them. 

Mary  Lou  and  Lanny  were  really  in 
love.  A  nation  decided  that.  Show  Boat 
grew  into  the  ace  program  of  the  air  at  that  time.  And 
the  name  Mary  Lou  came  to  be  as  much  of  a  household 
word  as  Crawford  and  Garbo. 

Then,  like  a  thunderbolt,  came  the  news  that  turned 
her  world  topsy-turvy.  Whether  it  was  dictated  to  her 
by  the  higher-ups  of  the  network,  whether  her  sponsors 
insisted  upon  it,  whether  she  herself  suddenly  came  to 
realize  that  her  radio  life  depended  upon  it,  is  unknown. 

But  the  warning  broke — her  radio  romance  with  Ross 
had  grown  to  proportions  that  made  it  a  whole  nation's 
heart  interest,  had  become  such  a  vital  element  to  the 
continued  success  of  Show  Boat  that  she  must  keep  her

eal  love  a  secret.  Can  you  imagine  the  torture  that  was? 
She  must  not  marry! 

If  she  did — well,  that  was  the  warning,  she  absolutely 
nust  obey  or  else  .  .  . 

And  so  love,  a  first  and  only  love,  was  ruled  out  of 
Muriel  Wilson's  life.  She  had  become  the  victim  of  a 
>itiless  ready-made  radio  romance  and  there  was  no 
>ossible  escape. 

You  can't  think  what  troubled  months  she  went  through 
-having  to  tell  Fred,  trying  to  find  a  way  out.  There 
vere  but  two  plans  to  choose  between.  She  could  an- 
lounce  her  engagement  and  be  free  to  love;  and  stand 
he  chance  of  losing  all  she  had  worked  so  long  and  hard 
llo  attain  on  the  air.  Or  she  could  take  the  choice  of 
ecrecy.  That  meant  waiting — putting  off  the  life  they'd 
)lanned  together,  holding  their  emotions  at  bay.  Being 
:areful  where  she  was  seen  with  Fred  and  how  many 
imes ;  give  the  radio  gossipers  half  a  conclusion  and 
hey '11  jump  at  it.  Keeping  love  under  cover,  when  a 
jreat  part  of  the  fun  of  romance  lies  in  living  it,  telling 
folks.  Women  so  much  like  to  wear  their  love  -in  their 
-•yes,  a  bright  gay  banner.  Muriel  never  could,  because 
she  chose  secrecy. 

Bravely,  over  a  period  of  two  years,  she  kept  up  the 
Dretense.  Singing  to  Lanny  with  heartbreak  in  her 
voice — not  even  he  knew  what  lay  behind  it.  Loving 
Lanny,  the  radio  way,  as  per  orders.  Staying,  so  far  as 
everyone  but  Muriel's  immediate  family  knew,  elsewhere 
unattached  and  uninterested.  Remember  when  she  flew 
to  Hollywood  to  broadcast  with  Lanny  and  write  for 
Radio  Stars  Magazine?  She  told  me  what  a  heavenly 
trip  it  was — going  places  with  so  popular  an  escort,  meet- 
ing the  screen  stars,  lazying  through  golden  California 
days,  having  the  very  time  of  her  life.  She  told  me  all 
that. 

And  then  she  broke  down  and  told  me  afterwards  that 
it  was  the  first  time  she  had  ever  been  away  from  Fred 
and  she'd  missed  him  so  she'd  almost  died. 

I  think  maybe  that  was  the  last  straw.  Or  maybe,  on 
Fred's  part,  it  was  the  new  Mary  Lou  he  flew  to  Chicago 
to  meet  on  her  return  home.  The  beauty  specialists  of 
movie  land  had  dieted  and  massaged  twenty  pounds  of 
her  away,  bobbed  her  brown  curls  into  a  bewitching 
coiffure,  arched  her  eyebrows  a  la  Harlow  and  returned 
her  to  Radio  lovelier  than  she  ever  had  been  before.  The 
two,  gloriously  incognito  for  once,  saw  the  Fair  together. 
And  then,  in  a  plane  speeding  toward  New  York,  Muriel 
decided  she  couldn't,  wouldn't  wait  any  more  no  matter 
what  the  price.  She  had  stuck  it  out  long  enough  to 
learn  for  certain  that  love  is  the  greatest  thing  that  can 
ever  happen  to  a  woman ;  and  that  when  it  does  happen 
half  a  loaf  is  never  enough  even  if  the  full  loaf  should 
cost  a  career.  It  was  going  to  take  courage  but  she 
wouldn't  be  afraid  with  her  man  beside  her. 

So  Thanksgiving  Day,  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Huf- 
smith  at  the  Wilsons'  for  dinner,  Fred  took  his 
Mary  Lou  aside  and  slipped  a  diamond  on  her 
finger.

THE  BIGGEST  RADIO 
ACTLY  HOW  TO  GET 


By  MARY 


From  top,  down:  Curtis  Arnall, 
Lowell  Thomas,  Kate  Smith,  David 
Ross — know  the  secret  of  success. 


CRASHING  the  glittering  gates 
of  Radio  is  credited  with  being  one 
of  the  toughest  undertakings  any- 
body can  shoulder  these  days.  Every 
year  approximately  eight  thousand 
hopeful  candidates  for  fame  are 
brought  before  audition  micro- 
phones by  the  two  major  networks. 
And  out  of  that  vast  aggregation  of 
talent  a  good  round  fifty  usually  get 
on  the  air.  Twenty-five  of  them 
will  stay  on  the  air  after  a  test 
period  of  thirteen  weeks.  A  half 
dozen  of  the  twenty-five  will  finally 
hit  the  big  money  class. 

So,  folks  say,  radio  is  a  tough  old 
nut  to  crack. 

But  it  can't  be  as  tough  as  it's 
cracked  up  to  be  when  new  per- 
sonalities are  so  constantly  becom- 
ing established  among  the  ether 
famous.  Those  on  the  inside  will 
tell  you  there's  a  secret  to  it.  And 
the  secret's  simple,  vis:  that  the 
ones  who  finally  reach  the  top  are 
those  who  have  first  developed 
something  different  to  bring  to  the 
microphone,  and  secondly,  learned 
exactly  how  to  get  it  there.  They're 
the  two  things  you've  got  to  know 
before  you  seek  your  radio  career. 

Who  could  tell  you  about  them 
better  than  the  stars  themselves? 
To  them  it's  an  old  story  of  the 
road  they  once  travelled.  So  I've 
talked  to  the  biggest  and  brightest 
of  the  ether  satellites  and  asked 
them  to  give  you  this  marvelous  op- 
portunity to  profit  by  their  own 
errors,  to  share  their  intimate  in- 
side knowledge  of  precisely  what  to 
do  to  attain  ether  success. 

In  the  case  of  each  of  the  follow- 
ing statements  the  star  has  assumed 
that  you  wish  to  enter  that  par- 
ticular field  of  radio  with  which  he 
or  she  is  connected,  that  is :  singing, 


comedy,  orchestra  conducting,  an- 
nouncing, dramatics  and  so  on. 

KATE  SMITH:  "For  my  type 
of  singing  I  do  not  recommend 
voice  culture.  Keep  your  voice 
natural ;  it  will  set  you  apart  from 
the  rest.  Serve  your  apprenticeship 
in  amateur  theatricals  then  make  a 
break  for  the  stage.  Any  fair-sized 
theatre  nowadays  is  equipped  with 
a  microphone  amplifying  system 
which  will  teach  you  microphone 
technique  and  how  to  work  before 
an  audience.  The  latter  I  consider 
very  important.  Although  specta- 
tors are  never  allowed  at  my  broad- 
casts I  find  myself  visualizing  the 
theatre  audiences  I  used  to  play  to. 
That  visualization  I  firmly  believe 
improves  my  performance  one 
thousand  per  cent.  Become  good 
enough  on  the  stage  and  you  won't 
have  to  bother  to  crash  radio — you'll 
be  heard  and  invited  in !  I  know 
that  to  be  a  fact.  You  see,  it's  ex- 
actly what  happened  to  me." 

CONRAD  THIBAULT  (Bari- 
tone of  Show  Boat  and  the  Colgate 
House  Party)  :  Air  work  similar  to 
mine  demands  first  rate  vocal  study. 
You'll  need  it  to  help  you  to  the  top 
and  keep  you  there.  Try  a  series 
of  programs  on  your  home  town 
station  first;  if  the  audience 
response  is  outstandingly  big  per- 
haps a  station  official  can  secure 
auditions  for  you  with  the  networks. 
If  this  is  impossible,  but  you  want 
to  take  the  chance,  save  and  go  to 
New  York.  Be  sure  to  have  suffi- 
cient money  or  a  job  in  the  city  to 
sustain  you  while  you're  waiting  for 
a  break.  You'll  get  it  by  presenting 
yourself  to  the  program  directors 
and  plugging  for  it  like  I  did.  In- 
cidentally, make  acquaintances  with 
all  the  radio  folks  you  can,  even  the 
less  important  ones.  It's  a  good  idea 
in  New  York.  Anybody  who  is  'in' 
the  least  bit,  even  studio  attendants 
and  secretaries,  can  make  it  easier 
for  you."

singer  of  The  Big  Show)  :  "Try

Formerly  the  vocalist  with  the 
Inoch  Light  Orchestra)  :  "I'll 
ladly  tell  you  one  way  of  getting 

chance  on  the  air.  I  sang  for  four 
ears  without  pay  on  a  small  sta- 
on  in  my  home  town.  The  near- 
st  network  outlets  were  in  Wash- 
lgton.  D.  C,  so  I  bummed  a  ride 
lere,  got  a  twelve  dollar  a  week  job 
i  eat  on,  and  bothered  the  program 
irector  of  VVJSV  until  he  gave  me 
n  opportunity.  Network-affiliated 
tations  nearly  always  have  public 
uditions  and  their  program  direc- 
ts are  truly  the  fellows  to  help 
ou.  Pretty  soon  Al  Chance,  that 
vas  his  name,  requested  the  net- 
vork  to  hear  me.  Here  I  am. 
Vhv  don't  you  try  the  P.  D.  of  the 
ietwork  station  nearest  you? 
Course  I  think  it's  a  swell  idea." 

ANNETTE  HANSHAW  (Fea- 
ured  Songstress  of  Camel  Cara- 
an)  :  "The  first  thing  you  need  is 

singing  personality,  a  trademark 
'ke  Jeannie  Lang's  giggle  or  (I

Own  way.  Feel  free  to  sing  numbers 
any  way  you  want  to  and  you'll  find 
yourself  inventing  your  very  own 
individuality.  That  means  the  begin- 
ning of  a  singing  personality.  With 
a  good  one  of  those  no  small  radio 
station  can  hold  you.    I  mean  it!" 

FRANK  LUTHER  (Formerly 
known  as  "Your  Lover"  and  now 
vocalist  on  a  three  hour  dance  pro- 
gram) :  "Sing  and  you'll  get  your 
radio  career.  I  mean  sing!  Any- 
time, all  the  time,  every  chance  you 
get.  For  friends,  Sunday  School 
socials,  entertainments  and  parties 
— sing.  Find  out  exactly  what  peo- 
ple like  about  your  voice — ask  them 
frankly — then  you  will  discover 
what  creates  your  particular  style. 
New  styles  of  singing  are  in  de- 
mand. Take  yours  to  the  local  radio 
station,  to  microphone  contests,  to 
vaudeville,  anywhere  you  can  be 
heard.  Keep  on  singing.  If  your 
style  is  downright  unique  enough  I 
guarantee  you'll  attract  radio  atten- 
tion. You  won't  have  to  knock  on 
any  program  director's  door  to  do 
it,  either." 

HELEN  JEPSON  (Star  So- 
prano of  Paul  Whiteman's  broad- 
cast) :  "I  am  doing  largely  concert 
music  and  opera  on  the  air.  As  a 
preface  to  that,  study  under  the 
best  teachers  is  essential.  Many  per- 
formers of  this  type  of  singing  came 
to  the  air  via  opera ;  I  am  going  to 
opera  via  radio  which,  I  believe,  is 
the  first  time  such  an  occurrence 
has  been  known.  At  any  rate,  if 
you  can  distinguish  yourself  in  con- 
cert or  opera,  you  stand  a  great

MAN 


LORETTA  LEE  IS  A  THOUSAND  MILES  AWAY  FROM 
HIM.  YET  HER  SONGS  KEEP  HIM  TRUE 


aF  you  like  your  love  stories  hot,  your  blues  singers 
torrid,  and  your  romance  risque,  get  the  story  behind 
Loretta  Lee.  She's  the  pert  little  St.  Louis  gal  from 
New  Orleans  who  puts  a  sizzling  griddle  under  the 
vocals  for  George  Hall's  Orchestra. 

That's  not  all  she  does,  either.  There's  the  way  she 
pours  her  chorus  girl  figure  into  a  flaming  velvet  evening 
gown,  prances  out  under  a  purple  spotlight,  rolls  back  her 
eyes,  sways  seductively  to  an  agitated  four-four  rhythm, 
jitters  out  those  guttural  blues  and  ends  up  by  wiping 
off  half  a  lipstick  on  the  microphone. 

Hot?  Listen,  you've  no  idea.  I've  never  yet  seen  the 
masculine  portion  of  a  studio  or  theatre  audience  wit- 
ness it  unmoved.  I  mean  unmoved.  Only  recently  a 
boys'  prep  school,  for  which  the  Hall  band  was  play- 
ing a  dance,  requested  that  she  be  omitted  from  the 
evening's  entertainment.  Too  you-know-what  for 
youngish  lads,  they  said.  The  gal  really  packs  a 
wicked  wallop  when  she  sings.  And  torch  carriers  like 
that  don't  exactly  go  home  to  a  glass  of  milk  and  a  good 
book  after  the  broadcast,  either.  That's  what  I 
thought. 

Get  the  story  behind  Loretta  Lee.  I  did  and  I'm  still 
floored.  It's  the  story  of  the  hottest  cool  girl  along  Radio 
Row.  And  it's  one  of  the  sweetest,  most  refreshing, 
romantic  love  stories  you'll  ever  read. 

I've  waited  a  long  time  to  write  it  because  I  wanted 
to  know  her  long  enough  to  be  sure  it  was  true.  That 
the  adoring  young  eligibles  of  New  York's  social  and 
theatrical  worlds  get  thank-you  notes  instead  of  dates  for 
the  orchids  they  send  her.  That  she  hates  inhaling  and 
has  never  gotten  as  far  as  the  olive  in  a  Martini.  That 
she  really  spends  her  evenings  reading  Marcel  Proust  and 
writing  the  daily  fourteen-pager  to  her  man.  That  she's 
as  swell  and  sweet  and  unaffected  a  girl  as  you  11  find  on 
Manhattan  Island.  And  that  she  really  does  love  and 
hold  that  2,000-mile-away  man  of  hers! 

The  flaming  gown  and  the  lipstick  are  just  good  show 
business.  The  eye  work  and  the  swaying  are  just,  as 
George  Hall  puts  it,  rhythm  rampant.  And  the  chorus 
girl  figure,  the  sizzling  sixteenth  notes  and  the  love  are 
just  Loretta,  pure  and  simple.  As  is.  Natural  to  the  «th 
degree. 

Back  in  New  Orleans  no  amateur  theatrical  had  a 
drawing  card  unless  Judge  Lee's  little  daughter  was  on 
the  bill.  At  the  age  of  three  she  could  pipe  a  mean  re- 
frain to  "Two  Pretty  Dairymaids."  At  ten  she  did  right 
well  by  the  chorus  of  "You  Gotta  See  Your  Mama  Every 
Night."  And  at  sixteen  even  the  faculty  of  the  Sophie 
B.  Wright  High  were  asking  her  to  do  her  version  of 
"Limehouse  Blues"  so  the  school  dances  could  break 
up.  The  kids  wouldn't  go  home  until  she'd  sung  it  at 
least  twice  with  the  orchestra. 

It  was  on  just  such  an  occasion  as  the  latter,  one 
night,  that  a  handsome  young  musician  walked  over  to 
Loretta.  Nervously  fumbling  hi5  trumpet  between  his 
hands  and  blushing  to  the  roots  of  his  hair,  he  blurted  out 
36 


a  plea  for  her  friendship. 

"Could  I — take  you  riding  tomorrow 
night,  .Miss  Lee?"  he  queried  anxiously. 

Loretta  was  overcome.    Riding.  Miss 
Lee.    Could  I !    No  wonder  her  party  bag 
took  that  moment  to  drop  from  her  hand 
and  embarrassingly  spill  its  contents  on  the 
dance  floor.    No  wonder  she  blushed  and  fal- 
tered.   The  handsome  young  musician  didn't 
know  it,  but  he'd  done  something  pretty  wonder- 
ful for  the  shy  little  girl  in  the  pink  taffeta  dress. 
He'd  asked  her  for  her  first  real  date!  She'd 
prayed  for  it  to  happen  for  a  long  time,  too.  Go- 
ing out  with  your  brother  all  the  time  gets  tiresome 
after  you  turn  sixteen. 

In  a  far  away  voice  she  heard  herself  answering, 
"Thank  you  very  much — I'll  ask  my  mother." 

That  night  Loretta  stared  at  herself  in  the  bureau  mir- 
ror for  a  good  hour.  Thinking  how  she  could  do  hei 
hair  a  new  way,  what  she  could  talk  about  so  he'd  bf 
entertained,  how  she  would  act  grown  up  for  him 
Heavens — he  was  a  man!  At  least  twenty-three.  Irv- 
ing Dussom.  French.  You  don't  pronounce  the  m,  bm 
said.  Better  to  decide  now  what  to  order  in  case  h<| 1 
stops  by  the  drug  store ;  it's  more  sophisticated  to  know 
right  away  what  you  want.  "Chocolate  shake"  sounds  al 
right.  And  all  this  time  he's  been  living  just  four  block: 
from  our  house.  "Father,  may  I  present  .  .  .?" — bettei 
practise  all  that  beforehand  too.  His  shoulders  did  lool- 
big  and  broad  when  he  walked  back  to  the  bandstand 
He  carried  them  so  straight.  Wavy  black  hair.  Th( 
other  girls  said  he  was  cute.  You  call  boys  cute,  not  men 
Buy  some  of  that  jade  perfume  to  wear.  "I'll  be  seeing 
you" — she  smiled  and  waved  to  herself  in  the  glass  t< 
see  how  she  must  have  seemed  to  him  when  she  said  it. 

And  so,  thrilled  pink,  a  little  girl  went  to  bed. 

The  next  night  a  very  grown  up  young  lady  came  bad 
to  the  same  room.  The  way  that  moon  had  hung  on  th< 
edge  of  the  Mississippi !  The  jasmine  and  magnolia  bios 
soms  in  the  front  yard  had  smelled  sweeter  with  him  be 
side  her  in  the  porch  swing.    Loretta  Lee  was  in  love 

She  still  is. 

And  if  she  hadn't  been,  George  Hall  would  still  b< 
auditioning  for  his  idea  of  an  ace  feminine  vocalist. 

The  Lees,  it  seems,  didn't  want  their  daughter  t( 
think  seriously  about  love  at  such  an  early  age.  Maylx 
they  were  right,  but  Loretta  didn't  think  so.  There  wa: 
only  one  thing  she  could  do ;  go  away  somewhere,  make 
something  out  of  her  voice,  prove  to  them  that  independ 
ently  she  could  determine  her  own  decisions. 

Two  long,  aching  years  she  stuck  it  out  at  home,  finish

THREE  TIMES  in  their  long 
career  as  an  outstanding  harmony 
trio,  the  Pickens  Sisters  have  come 
dangerously  close  to  splitting  up. 
Once  it  was  illness,  once  it  was  am- 
bition, and  once  it  was  love. 

Believe  you  me,  no  job  offers  the 
complications  and  the  headaches  that 
go  with  being  a  member  of  a  sister 
trio.  For  you  must  keep  this  in 
mind :  when  you  hear  the  softly 
blended  voices  of  the  Pickens  Sisters, 
just  remember  that  there  are  three 
individual  girls  you  are  listening  to — 
three  girls,  each  of  whom  have  had 
to  give  up  a  certain  amount  of  free- 
dom and  individuality  to  keep  the 
trio  intact.  Their  lives  have  become 
so  interwoven  that  not  one  of  the 
girls  dares  live  or  think  for  herself. 
And  when  you  hear  the  never-before- 
told  stories  behind  their  near  break- 
ups, you'll  understand  just  what  I 
mean. 

First,  did  you  know  that  there  is  a 
fourth  Pickens  sister  who 
figures  very  importantly  in 
the  career  of  the  trio? 
Would  it  surprise  you  to 
know  that  the  first  time  you 
heard  the  Pickens  Sisters 
a  little  over  two  years  ago, 
it  was  not  the  familiar 
"Jane,  Patti  and  Helen" 
you  were  listening  to,  but 


actually  "Jane,  Grace  and  Helen?' 

Strange  as  it  may  seem,  Patti 
doesn't  figure  in  the  tale  of  the  Pick- 
ens Sisters  until  they  were  already 
launched  on  the  air.  Her  entrance, 
however,  was  a  dramatic  and  sensa- 
tional one. 

Jane  first  blazed  the  trail  from  the 
Pickens'  rambling  plantation  home  in 
Georgia  to  New  York.  She  had  a 
splendid  voice  that  showed  great 
signs  of  promise,  so  she  enrolled  in 
the  Juilliard  School  of  Music.  Later 
Helen,  the  oldest,  who  was  studying 
art,  and  Grace,  a  gifted  pianist,  joined 
her.  And  Patti?  Why,  she  was  the 
baby  of  the  family  and  was  too 
young  to  enter  any  of  the  girls'  plans.

THE  PICKENS  SISTERS  ARE  NOT 


THREE  BUT  ONE  — WHEN  IT 


COMES  TO  WHAT  THEY  MAY  OR 


MAY  NOT  DO,  FOR  THEY'VE 


TIED  THEIR  YOUNG  LIVES  TO  A 


SINGLE  CAREER 


By  Helen  Hover 


So  here  we  have  the  three  original  Pickens,  Helen, 
Grace  and  Jane,  settled  in  a  New  York  apartment,  and 
fooling  around  with  a  haunting,  new  type  of  harmony  that 
was  to  startle  the  radio  world. 

It  started  out  as  a  pastime  and  ended  as  a  career.  A 
theatrical  friend  they  had  met  in  New  York  heard  them 
and  promptly  brought  them  to  the  Victor  Recording  Com- 
pany to  make  a  test  record.  The  Victor  people  raved 
about  their  bizarre  arrangements  and  shipped  the  record 
off  to  a  radio  executive.  Before  the  girls  knew  what  it 
was  all  about,  they  were  in  the  executive's  private  office 
signing  their  names  to  a  three-year  contract. 

With  the  Pickens  Sisters  and  the  "mike"  it  was  a  case 
of  love  at  first  sight.  But  what  they  didn't  realize  was 
that  from  then  on  they  were  shackled  by  an  invisible 
chain  to  their  career — and  to  each  other. 

They  were  given  several  weekly  spots  and  were  catch- 
ing on  like  a  forest  fire  on  a  windy  day,  when  suddenly 
the  dreaded  happened !  Grace  fell  sick.  So  sick  thai  she 
was  absolutely  forbidden  to  get  out  of  bed  for  months. 

The  girls  were  frantic.  Can  you  imagine  anything 
more  panicky  and  puzzling  than  trying  to  get  someone  to 
take  her  place?  It  just  couldn't  be  done.  A  strange  girl 
couldn't  grasp  the  Pickens'  technique,  certainly  couldn't 
look  like  a  Pickens,  and  besides,  she  would  ruin  the  whole 
"sister"  illusion. 

As  Helen  and  Jane  racked  their  brains,  it  looked  very 
much  as  though  the  budding  career  of  the  Pickens  Sisters 
was  going  to  be  nipped  right  then  and  there.  The  broad- 
cast was  two  days  off. 

Suddenly  Jane  had  an  idea.  She  rushed  to  the  tele- 
graph office  and  sent  a  TNT  wire  to  Georgia  that  caused 
Mrs.  Pickens  to  yank  Patti  out  of  school  and  fly  to, New 
York  with  her. 

Then  began  the  metamorphosis  of  fourteen-year-old 
Patti  from  a  high  school  freshman  into  a  radio  star — in 
one  day!  Do  you  know  what  that  means?  All  day  long 
and  all  night  long  she  was  taught  the  difficult  harmony 
tricks  that  had  taken  her  sisters  so  long  to  master.  She 
stood  beside  the  piano  singing  until  the  weird  rhythms 
became  a  throbbing,  monotonous  beat  in  her  ears  and  she 
almost  fainted  of  exhaustion.    (Continued  on  page  76)

-eopold  Stokowski  left  as  head  of  the  Philadelphia 
phony    under    strained    circumstances.      Out  he 


walked,  leaving  only  two  statements  of 
cause:  (1)  The  inability  of  the  board 
of  directors  to  select  a  successor  for 
Arthur  Judson  as  executive  director;  and 
(2)  "deep-lying  differences"  with  the 
board. 

As  to  the  first  cause,  it  is  reported  Jud- 
s'on  left  because  of  the  slashing  Sto- 
kowski temperament,  something  that  executives  tried  in 
vain  to  smooth  out.  The  "deep-lying  differences"  might 
also  be  charged  to  temperament.  W  hen  Stokowski  di- 
rected the  orchestra  while  sitting  on  a  wooden  horse, 
called  down  audiences  during  concerts  and  dropped  iron 
chains  on  metal  plates  for  noise  effects,  some  disagree- 
ment on  the  part  of  directors  was  to  be  expected. 

His  future  plans  are  indefinite.  He  may  be  reconciled, 
organize  a  new  orchestra  or  go  abroad.

now  he  is  advisor  to  a  Sunday  evening  motor  sym- 
phony concert  and  also  swings  the  baton  that  same 
evening  on  another  auto  show.  He  perhaps  does 
more  auditions  than  any  other  staff  man  of  the 
network.    He's  boss,  too,  of  that  soft  drink  half -hour.

Annette  Hanshaw,  stor  of  Camel  Caravan, 
is  the  tiny  songstress  who  stepped  into  her 
dad's  shoes  and  won  her  family  security. 


HERS  was  a  great  love,  but  it  is  not  the  kind  (if  love 
you  ordinarily  hear  about.  For  it  is  nut  romantics 
love,  hut  the  love  of  a  brother  and  a  si>u  r.  who  have 
stood  united  against  the  world.  It  i->  the  real  reason^ 
I>ehind  Annette  Hanshaw's  career. 

If  it  were  not  tor  Frankie.  her  ninetecn-vcar-a|fl 
brother,  Annette  would  not  Ik?  on  the-  air  today.  She 
would  not  want  to  be,  for  by  some  strange  <|iiirk  of 
nature,  she  hates  the  spotlight.    She  hates  to  Ik-  the 
center  of  attention,  to  perform  Ik* fore  an  audience. 

You  know  how  most  of  us  are  as  children.  How 
we  love  to  show  off,  to  kick  our  heels  in  the  air.  to 
recite  our  silly  little  pieces  and  show  dear  Uncle 
George  how  lx*auti  fully  we  can  play  the  piano. 

Annette  hated  every  minute  of  it.  When  her  father 
lx'gged  her  to  sit  down  at  the  piano  and  sing  for  his 
guests,  she  throbbed  with  loathing  for  this  thing  he 
asked  her  to  do.  People  milling  around  her.  Their 
eyes  glued  on  her.  Watching  her  every  minute  as 
she  sang. 

If  her  father  had  dreamed  of  the  feelings  that 
welled  in  the  child's  heart,  he  never  would  have  asked 
her  to  sing  for  company.  Hut  never  by  so  much  as  the 
bat  of  an  eyelid  did  Annette  show  how  she  cringed 
from  the  ordeal.  No  one  dreamed  of  how  she  felt 
about  it.  Not  till  years  later  did  she  confess  to  her 
mother  how  she  detested  it.  "But  Annette,"  her 
mother  cried  out.  "why  didn't  you  tell  us?" 

No,  it  was  not  like  Annette  to  tell.  In  vain  she 
struggled  against  these  feelings  she  didn't  under- 
stand, that  she  still  doesn't  understand  to  this  day. 
Hut  she  wouldn't  yield  to  them. 

Under  ordinary  circumstances,  she  would  never 
have  dreamed  of  going  after  a  career  which  forces 
her  into  the  center  of  attention.  But  ordinary  things 
didn't  hapjK*n  to  Annette.    The  swift  course  of  life 

came  along  and 
swept  her  into  mid- 
stream. 

If  her  father  had 
had  his  way.  Annette 
would  never  have 
known  the  sting  of 
poverty  or  work.  He 
thought  that  women 
were  made  for  lux- 
ury and  silk  and 
happiness,  and  not  to 
bear  the  bitter  tang 
of  tears.  When  his 
own  income  dwin-

That's  no  Boy  Scout  speaking — al- 
though plenty  of  them  are  Vic  and 
Sade  followers,  too.  It's  from  the  let- 
ter of  a  brawny  sea  captain,  Capt.  W.

"Chief"  shuttling  between  New  Or-

bridge  to  join  once  more  that  cosmo- 
politan throng  who  eagerly  look  in  on 
"the  house  half  way  up  the  next  block 
where  Vic  and  Sade  live." 

As  Capt.  Whilden  goes  below  to 
switch  on  his  radio,  a  tobacco  planter

Women  postpone  their  shopping 
tours  until  after  Vic  and  Sade  do  their 
daily  stint.  Mothers  tell  their  young-

there'll  be  no  Rush — no  Vic  and  Sade 
today." 

There's  even  a  town  in  the  Black 
Hills  of  Dakota  where  all  business 
halts  for  fifteen  minutes  every  day  be- 
cause every  last  inhabitant  is  a  Vic 
and  Sade  follower. 

Well,  you  get  the  idea.  Vic  and

siastic and  loyal  a  following  as  any

THE  STORY  OF  AN  UNDEFEATABLE  CLOWN— ED  WYNN.  HIS  LIFE  HAS  BEEN 


® 


NE  short,  hard,  sharp  word  tells  the  story  of 
Ed  Wynn.  The  word  is  Nerve.  N-e-r-v-e. 
Examine  his  history,  you'll  agree  with  me. 
At  twelve  he  jumped  into  the  water  and 
saved  a  160  pound  adult  from  drowning.  It  took  nerve. 
At  fourteen  he  clung  for  forty  minutes  to  a  barnacle- 
covered  piling  at  the  end  of  an  Atlantic  City  pier,  both 
legs  paralyzed  with  cramps.  They  pulled  him  out  covered 
with  blood.   Was  that  courage? 

It  took  nerve  and  plenty  of  it  to  fight  and  single- 
handed  defeat  the  entire  theatrical  world — which  he  did 
back  in  1919,  the  period  that  followed  the  great  actors' 
strike. 

It  took  nerve  to  drop  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars  in 
an  attempt  to  establish  a  new  broadcasting  network.  It 
took  more  to  turn  his  back  on  the  enterprise  and  start  in 
his  middle  forties  to  build  up  a  new  fortune. 

Right  now  it  is  taking  all  his  remarkable  store  of 
courage  to  fight  off  an  invasion  of  his  private  life  by  the 
whisperers  and  keyhole  snipers.  For  the  first  time  in  his 
career,  the  wet  snails  who  spread  sliroe  on  Broadway 
have  crossed  his  threshold  and  are  dragging  these  stories 
about  his  wife  wherever  an  unclean  ear  will  listen. 

File  that  word — n-e-r-v-e — in  your  memory,  for  it  ex- 
plains Ed  Wynn.  His  life  has  been  a  constant  jousting 
against  impossible  odds.  He  has  invariably  triumphed. 
So-o-o-o,  the  next  time  you  hear  him  giggle  to  Graham, 


giggle  back.  His  right  to  giggle  has  been  well  earned, 
earned  and  paid  for.  Paid  for  with  the  most  inspiring 
battle  any  human  being  in  these  times  has  had  to  fight 
against  hard  luck  and  conspiracy. 

Other  courageous  spirits  have  gone  out  looking  for. 
trouble,  but  trouble  has  always  come  seeking  Ed  Wynn. 
This  fat,  soft,  fifty-year -old  man  is  a  stay-at-home,  a 
night  club  hater,  the  type  that  crosses  the  street  to  avoid 
a  fight.  Yet  his  life  has  been  full  of  brawling  excitement, 
all  of  which  came  hammering  at  his  door. 

Take  the  actors'  strike.  He  knew  nothing  of  the  strike, 
far  less  the  date.  He  arrived  at  his  theatre  the  night 
fixed  for  the  walk-out,  big-eyed  and  innocent  of  any 
trouble. 

Lee  Shubert,  to  whom  Wynn  was  under  contract,  was 
on  the  sidewalk.  He  said  to  Ed :  "You're  not  going  to  be 
a  damn  fool  like  the  rest  of  them,  Ed,  I  hope?" 

"I  don't  know  what  it's  all  about,"  said  the  comedian. 
"But  I  won't  desert  the  actors.  I'm  going  over  to  the 
Lambs  Club  and  find  out  what's  happening." 

As  he  walked  through  the  door  of  this  theatrical  club, 
he  was  greeted  by  a  roar.  Everybody  shouted  at  once 
and  the  words  they  shouted  were:  "Ed. Wynn  has  walked 
out.    Ed  Wynn  has  walked  out." 

Well,  they  picked  him  up  on  their  shoulders  and  car- 
ried him  around  the  lobby.  Then  out  to  the  street — to 
Broadway — to  Times  Square.    They  stood  him  on  a

arrel  and  he  made  a  speech.  <  A  speech  without  gags  that 
;ared  and  shriveled  the  Broadway  producers. 

The  result?  He  was  pitchforked  into* the  strike  leader- 
iip.  He  joined  the  Actors'  Equity  Association  and  put 
is  soul  into  the  new  job.  He  lambasted  the  managers 
n  every  occasion,  not  because  he  disliked  them,  but 
ecause  that  is  what  a  strike  leader  is  supposed  to  do. 
Vhen  the  strike  was  settled  everybody  went  back  to  work 
)  earn  more  money  under  pleasanter  conditions — every- 
ody  except  the  man  who  made  it  possible,  Ed  Wynn. 

His  ordeal  had  begun.  Up  to  that  time  life  had  been 
'hipped  cream  to  him.  for  he  was  a  gifted  comedian,  a 
tire  laugh  snatcher,  in  demand  everywhere.  Shubert 
ancelled  his  contract.  George  M.  Cohan,  an  old  friend, 
lammed  the  door  in  his  face.  But  Flo  Ziegfeld  made 
im  suffer. 

When  Ed  called  there,  Ziegfeld  bade  him  wait.  The 
reat  Wynn,  welcome  everywhere,  always  first  to  be  seen, 
at  down  among  hoofers  and  chorus  girls  and  waited, 
'ix  hours  he  sat  and  then  the  office  closed  and  he  went 
ome.  He  came  back  the  next  day  and  again  was  told  to 
■ait.  He  waited,  with  the  same  result.  Ditto  a  third 
ay  a  fourth.  His  spirit  began  to  ooze.  Six,  seven, 
•ght,  nine  days.  His  confidence  was  going.  He  came 
pme  and  cried.  Hilda  Keenan,  daughter  of  Frank 
veenan,  the  great  actor,  and  wife  to  Wynn.  told  him  not 
o  go  back,  it  wasn't  worth  such  humiliation.  ■ 


But  he  went  back ;  this  was  the  eleventh  day.  He  told 
her  that  this  would  be  his  last  attempt.  If  Ziegfeld  svill 
refused  to  see  him,  he  would  look  for  a  job  as  a  salesman. 

As  he  entered  the  building  a  theatrical  producer  named 
Whitney  came  out.  But  for  that  incident  there  would 
be  no  Fire  Chief  today.  Whitney  told  him  that  the  man- 
agers had  sworn  a  solemn  oath  not  to  employ  Wynn  and 
to  boycott  all  who  aided  him  in  any  way.  All  but  Whit- 
ney, who  sympathized  and  offered  to  back  Ed  in  a  musical 
show. 

It  was  a  straw  to  the  drowning  clown.  He  grabbed  it. 
No  one  would  write  music  for  him.  Through  all  the 
length  of  Tin  Pan  Alley,  he  could  find  no  lyric  writer, 
no  composer  to  work  for  him.  No  one  but  Irving  Berlin. 
But  Ed  would  not  accept  his  offer,  knowing  that  in  em- 
ploying his  friend,  he  was  killing  his  career  in  music. 

The  managers'  boycott  of  Ed  Wynn  was  complete.  He 
was  alone  on  Broadway.  He  cmldn't  even  get  a  theatre. 
But  list  and  hark  ye,  how  he  carried  on.  To  get  a  theatre 
he  went  to  Joseph  Tumulty,  secretary  of  President 
Wilson,  and  obtained  a  presidential  order  compelling  the 
theatre  folk  to  rent  him  a  playhouse. 

Then  he  went  home  and  wrote  a  musical  play  called 
"Ed  Wynn's  Carnival" — wrote  it  all,  music,  lyrics,  plot, 
patter  and  gags.  Then  he  produced  it.  directed  it.  and 
played  the  leading  role!  It  ran  for  117  weeks  in  New 
York  and  the  smaller  places.  (Continued  on  page  72)

RADIO'S  RED  DAVIS  ISN'T  AFRAID 


TO  TEMPT  FATE 


By  Ruth  Arell 


(Above)  Burg  est 
Meredith  —  you 
know  him  as  the 
entertaining  Red 
Davis  of  the  air- 
waves. (Left)  At 
fifteen  he  was  al- 
ready amusing 
audiences  and 
never  was  a  Peter 
Pan  so  audacious 
as  this  youngster. 


VpilIVE  big  crises  stand  out  in  the  life  of  Burgess 

5*  Meredith. 
pl  \     Five  times  he  has  made  decisions  which  have 

altered  the  course  of  his  life. 
And  from  each  one  he  has  learned  It  pays  to  take 
chances. 

Burgess  Meredith  is  the  young  actor  who  plays  the 
name  part  in  the  Red  Davis  sketches  three  times  a  week. 
He  was  a  typical  American  boy  like  "Red"  whom  he  im- 
personates on  the  air.  Yet  his  real  life-story  contains 
elements  of  melodrama  far  more  thrilling  than  you'll  ever 
find  in  fiction.  For  example,  he  ran  away  to  sea  to  find 
out  he  wanted  to  be  an  actor.  And  he  went  to  sea  in  the 
first  place  to  escape  a  gang.  But  let's  start  this  story  at 
its  beginning,  the  first  time  he  found  it  paid  to  take 
chances. 

Crisis  No.  1  in  the  life  of  young  Meredith,  or  "Buzz" 
as  he  is  known,  came  at  the  age  of  thirteen. 

Like  thousands  of  others  who  have  achieved  success  in 
the  theatre  or  on  the  radio,  he  sang  in  the  choir  as  a  boy 
in  his  home  town,  Cleveland.  Then  one  day,  the  Paulist 
Choristers  of  New  York  announced  a  national  singing 
contest  in  which  a  singing  scholarship  was  to  be  awarded 
to  one  boy  from  each  section  of  the  country. 

Buzz  wanted  to  enter  the  contest.  But  doubts  assailed 
him.  What  chances  would  he  have?  After  all,  he  had 
had  no  training  except  the  bit  at  rehearsals.    If  by  some 

46 


miracle  he  won,  what  then?  Would  his  family  let  him,  a 
mere  boy,  leave  home  to  live  in  the  East? 

Thus  we  find  him,  still  a  youngster,  confronted  with  his 
first  big  problem.  The  more  he  thought  about  it,  the 
more  confused  he  became.  But  somewhere  he  had  read 
that  victory  puts  a  different  complexion  on  a  situation. 

If  he  won  ... 

Buzz  entered  the  contest.  Came  the  day  of  audition. 
He  was  so  nervous  when  he  arrived  at  the  concert  hall, 
he  felt  as  if  he  were  tied  in  knots.  When  he  saw  that 
the  son  of  the  church  organist  was  a  contestant,  he  wanted 
to  run  away. 

"Only,"  he  laughingly  recalled,  "my  feet  refused  to 
budge.    So  I  stayed." 

He  stayed  and  was  the  last  to  sing.    His  first  notes 
were  wavering  ones.    "But,"  he  continued,  "I  suddenl" 
spied  Freddy  Whipple,  a  kid  I  had  licked  the  day  before 
in  the  audience.    Instantly  I  knew  that  if  I  failed,  V 
never  live  down  his  razzing.    Believe  me,  I  put  my  hea 
into  my  solo." 

When  it  was  over,  the  judges  retired.  Buzz  squirmed 
in  his  chair.  Freddy  Whipple  prepared  a  choice  razz- 
berry. 

Finally  the  judges  came  out  and  beckoned  to  the  organ- 
ist's son  and  to  Buzz.  They  were  asked  to  repeat  theii 
solos.  Buzz  sang  last.  But  when  he  finished,  the  applaust 
was  deafening.     With  one   (Continued  on  paqe

HAVE  YOU  EVER  BEEN  HURT  BY  A  SLIGHT?    AND  WONDERED  WHY' 


REM  KM  HER  the  day  you  were  given  the  run-around 
hy  local  sophomores  putting  on  the  high-hat? 

Reniemher  the  evening  you  expected  to  he  taken  to  a 
breezy  party  and  instead  had  to  do  your  wall-flowering 
at  home — ignored? 

Remember  the  time  your  name  was  left 
off   the   guest   list    for   the  town 
swankier  dances  and  clubs 

What's  the  reason  for 

New    York's   gayer  rad 
crowd  has  found  out 
whys  and  wherefores.  And 
they're  trying  a  remedy 
— a  soul  stirring  remedy 
they've1  turned  into  an 
exciting  tete-a-tete' 
which  they've  chris- 
tened the  "P.  P.  T." 
(Personality  Plus 
Test,  to  you).  They' 
ask    themselves  a» 
flock    of  questions 
and  by  the  answers 
judge  just  where 
they    stand    in  the 
opinions    of  others. 

For  instance,  how 
would  you  answer  thist 
most  personal  of  per-, 
sonal  questions :  Is  your 
attitude  toward  the  oppo- 
site sex  free  from  vulgar-< 
ity?    Or:  Do  you  keep 
nose  entirely  out  of  other 
pie's  business?  Would 
"yes"  or  "no"  to  this :  Do  you  keep 
your  clothing  neat  and  tidy? 

Well,  those  are  just  a  few  of  the  forty-five 
P.  P.  T.  questions  radio  artists  are  asking  themselves. 
There's  nothing  funny  and  fake  about  the  game.  These 
Microphone ,  Club  members  are  taking  the  questionnaire 
seriously  for  it  has  been  proven  by  Dr.  Donald  A.  Laird, 
head  of  the  department  of  psychology  at  .  Colgate  Uni- 
versity, that  the  answers  to  these  questions  will  show  you 
whether  you  are  liked  generally  or  not  and  why. 

It's  all  very,  very  simple.     You  just  answer  the 


questions  with  a  "yes"  or  a  "no"  and  then  count  up  you 
score.  The  highest  possible  score  is  seventy-nine.  Bu 
don't  expect  to  be  perfect.  Very  few  people  are  perfec 
these  depression  days.  In  fact,  only  ten  per  cent  of  al 
the  people  in  the  world  are  able  to  reach  the  to 
score. 

At  some  of  the  Personality  Plus  Tes 
parties  in  New  York,  radio  artist 
are  finding  themselves  ahove  th 
average.    Take  Annette  Han 
shaw  for  example.  Not  man 
f\  \  li  sunsets  ago  she  introduce 

|  J  JU  I  \        the  game  in   her  Par 

'  Avenue  apartment 

When  the  verdict 
were  read,  Annett 
had  an  average  o 
sixty-five  out  of 
possible  seventy 
nine.  In  other  word 
she  could  "yes"  a 
questions  but  a  ver 
few.  Annette  ju< 
had  to  admit  that  sh 
sometimes  foun< 
fault,  that  she  didn' 
always  control  he 
temper,  that  she  doesn 
always  keep  her  pei 
sonal  troubles  to  hersel 
and  that  she  sometime 
does  borrow  things. 
Conrad  Thibault  found  h: 
score  to  be  seventy-one  point 
Maybe  that's  one  reason  this  hanc 
some,  young  Romeo  who  was  ur 
known  two  years  ago  is  now  drawing 
salary  above  the  thousand  dollar  per  week  mar: 
maybe  that's  one  reason  the  young  girls  of  tr 
microphone  sorority  are  all  a-flutter  when  he  comes  inl 
the  scene.  You  see,  there  is  something  besides  a  voi< 
that  counts  in  radio.  Personality  can  make  or  break 
radio  artist.    The  radio  fan,  too. 

Just  where  do  you  rank?  This  test  may  give  you  tl 
answer  to  many  of  the  perplexing  personal  problems  th

REETINGS  friends  and  Radio  Fans. 

The  telephone  on  my  desk  rang  the  other 
day  and  when  I  answered  a  pleasant  voice  in- 
formed me : 
"This  is  Lanny  Ross."  (Be  still  my  heart.) 
"Will  you  join  me  tomorrow  for  an  early  lunch  and  at

Would  I  have  lunch  with  Lanny?  Girls  and  ladies,  I'm

"That  was  a  very  deligTitful  meal,"  I  found  my  J 
saying  to  Lanny  around  one  o'clock  the  next  day  afti  a 
leisurely  breakfast-lunch  (quite  a  favorite  combina* 
with  radio  stars,  I  find).  The  meal  had  consisted  of  fa 
juices,  waffles,  sausages  and  coffee.  That  is,  I  think  til 
what  we  ate,  although  most  of  the  time  I  was  ha1* 
such  fun  listening  to  Lanny  talk  about  Radio  in  gena| 
and  his  Show  Boat  and  Log  Cabin  broadcasts  in  HI 
ticular  that  I  was  derelict  to  my  duty  and  paid  littl'Jt 
no  attention  to  the  subject  of  food.  But  now  I  was  n  I J 
returning  to  my  duties. 

Mr.  Ross,  doubtless  recognizing  that  "now  I  am  ie 
Cooking  School  director"  gleam  in  my  eye,  settled  bl* 
lighted  a  cigarette  and,  like  a  lamb  being  led  to  the  slai  ti- 
ter, meekly  prepared  to  do  as  he  was  told.  Howev  I 
soon  discovered  that  it  was  but  an  outward  show-n 
meekness  and  that  under  it  all  was  a  boyish  spirit  of  •( 
coupled  with  a  desire  to  spoof  the  subject  of  food  * 
to  make  light  of  his  own  importance  as  an  outstan  if 
radio  star.  And,  alas,  he  even  showed  signs  of  wishirito 
kid  the  guide  of  your  Radio  Stars'  Cooking  School, 
is  nothing  if  not  serious  over  anything  pertaininj  to 
her  department. 

"Well,  now  that  we  have  had  such  a  pleasant  rejst, 
let's  talk  about  food,"  I  began  sententiously. 

"So  you  liked  your  lunch,"  Lanny  commented.  " 
I  suppose  those  were  marvelous  waffles?" 

"They  certainly  were,"  I  agreed  politely. 

"They  certainly  were  not,"  he  contradicted,  a  disc- 
ing smile  taking  the  sting  out   (Continued  on  paged) 


•  Every  woman  knows  what  one  shopper 
meant  when  she  said  recently:  "I  don't  know 
any  task  as  exhausting  as  shopping.  I  often 
slip  away  for  a  Camel  when  I'm  getting  tired. 
A  Camel  restores  my  energy.  And  I  enjoy 
Camel's  mild  flavor  so  much  that  I  smoke 
a  lot.  I  can  smoke  as  many  Camels  as  I 
like,  though, without  bothering  my  nerves." 


BUSINESS  MAN.  Irving  J. 
Pritchard  says:  "Camels  give 
me  a  'lift'  in  energy  that  eases 
the  strain  of  the  business  day, 
and  drives  away  fatigue.  Since 
turning  to  Camels.  I  smoke  all  I 
want,  without  upset  nerves."

Fight  them  all  with  this  Single  Cream! 


DO  YOU  KNOW  what  is  the  time  of  a 
woman's  greatest  beauty?  The  glorious 
teens! 

Here's  what  a  great  skin  authority 
says:  "From  16  to  20,  a  woman's  skin 
literally  blooms.  It  is  satiny,  clear,  grow- 
ing. Not  a  line,  not  a  pore.  From  20  on, 
the  fight  to  keep  a  youthful  appearance 
begins."  A  fight  it  is! 

If  you  want  to  know  the  secret  begin- 
nings of  blackheads,  coarse  pores,  lines, 
wrinkles,  you  would  have  to  see  into 
your  under  skin. 

There's  where  the  firm  young  tissue 
first  begins  to  age.  Where  circulation 
slows.  Where  tiny  oil  glands  begin  to 
lose  tone.  When  these  things  happen, 
your  under  skin  actually  starves!  As  a 
result,  the  outer  skin  becomes  a  prey  to 
all  sorts  of  disfiguring  skin  faults. 

To  avoid  these  faults,  you  must  give 
immediate  help  to  your  under  skin. 

This  is  what  Pond's  Cold  Cream  does. 
In  this  famous  cream  are  the  purest  of 
specially  processed  oils  that  sink  deep 
into  the  skin.  This  rich,  penetrating 
cream  sustains  the  failing  nutrition 
underneath  — aids  the  natural  function- 
ing of  the  oil  glands. 


Use  this  youth-sustaining  cream.  See 
how  quickly  its  use  brings  back  fresh- 
ness, color,  a  satiny  texture.  Even  makes 
lines  fade.  Prevents  development  of 
blackheads,  little  defects. 

Pond's  Cold  Cream  is  a  wonderful 
cleanser.  Use  it  at  night  before  retiring. 


MRS.  ADOIPH  B.  SPRECKELS,  JR..  <>f  the  prom- 
inent California  family.  "Has  a  perfect  -km — no 
blackhead*  —  no  enlarged  pores" — Dermatologi*!'-* 
Report.  Mrs.  Spreckels  says:  "Pond's  Cold  Cream 
eleauses  my  skin  as  no  other  cream  ever  did." 

It  sinks  deep  and  flushes  away  all  skin 
impurities,  grime,  rubbed-in  rouge,  pow- 
der. Your  skin  feels  wonderfully  fresh- 
ened, renewed.  A  second  application 
patted  in  vigorously  stimulates  the  circu- 
lation^ You  actually  look  years  younger! 


Lines.  Wrinkles,  are  caused  by  wasting  of  the 
under  skin — loss  of  tone — impaired  nutrition — 
lack  of  invigorating  oils. 


Coarseness  is  made  worse  by  clogged  pores,  neglect, 
improper  cleansing. 


Blackheads  come  from  pores  clogged  by  thick 
secretions  from  overactive  skin  glands. 


Dryness  is  often  attributable  to  poorly  function- 
ing under  skin,  inadequate  oil  supply. 

Little  Defects.  Many  factors  lead  to  these  — 
among  them  loss  of  tone,  inactive  circulation, 
improper  cleansing. 

Sagging  Tissues,  due  to  loss  of  nerve  tone,  im- 
paired circulation,  fatty  degeneration  of  the 
muscles.  All  occur  in  under  skin. 

Coarseness  Blackheads 
Skin  Faults 

all  develop  when  Underskirt 
fails  to  function 


IFYOUCOULD  LOOK  UNDER  YOUR  SKIN! 

Underneath  your  outer  skin  or  epidermis 
is  the  true  skin  or  corium.  Here  are  myri- 
ads of  tiny  blood  vessels,  cells,  nerves,  elas- 
tic fibers,  fat  and  muscle  tissues,  oil  and 
sweat  glands,  hair  follicles!  On  these  de- 
pends the  beauty  of  your  outer  skin.  When 
they  grow  sluggish,  the  under  skin  loses 
vigor.  Then,  look  out  for  blackheads,  coarse- 
ness, blemishes,  lines — eventually  wrinkles! 


In  the  morning  and  in  the  daytime  be- 
fore you  make  up,  repeat  this.  Your 
powder  goes  on  so  smoothly — stays  that 
way  for  hours.

IN    INTERESTING  TEST 


HERE'S  WHAT  GARY  COOPER  SAW

•  Gary  Cooper,  making  the 
lipstick  test  between  two 
scenes  of  his  new  picture, 
"The  Wedding  Night,"  a 
Samuel  Goldwyn  Produc- 
tion for  United  Artists.

he  prefers  the 
Tan  g  ee  Lips 

•  "Honest  lips !" 
That's  Gary  Coop- 
er's forthright, 
masculine  way  of 
putting  it.  And  lips 
that  are  painted 
don't  look  honest  to  men.  Tangee  doesn't  paint 
your  lips.  It  can't,  because  it  isn't  paint.  Instead, 
it  makes  them  soft,  rosy,  appealing.  Based  on 
the  magic  Tangee  color-change  principle,  it 
merely  intensifies  the  natural  color  of  your  lips. 

In  the  stick  Tangee  looks  orange.  But  as  you 
use  it,  it  changes  to  the  one  shade  of  rose  that 
is  your  own  best  color.  Try  Tangee.  You  can  buy 
it  for  $1.10  or  39  cents  for  the  smaller  size.

"GOODBYE,  dear,"  said  a 
prominent  Milwaukee  business 
man  to  his  wife.  "I'll  be  back 
just  as  soon  as  possible.  Prob- 
ably within  the  next  day  or  two." 

With  these  parting  words,  the 
business  man  hopped  into  his  car 
and  sped  toward  Chicago,  where 
he  had  "an  important  business 
engagement." 

The  next  day  his  wife  hap- 
pened to  tune  in  the  Milwaukee 
court  broadcast.  She  heard  the 
court  clerk  call  the  next  case.

Mound  Road,  a  highway  leading 
into  Milwaukee.  And  the  cop's 
opinion  that  the  defendant  and 
"the  woman  with  him"  were 
slightly  intoxicated.  "But  that 
isn't  all,"  added  the  officer.  "The 
defendant  was  driving  with  only 
one  arm." 

For  driving  while  drunk  the 
man  who  was  supposedly  in  Chi- 
cago got  "the  works"  from  the 
court.  But  it  was  nothing  com-

Pontiac  program  on  the  network.  He 
earned  in  the  neighborhood  of  $25,000  that 
year.  He  has  just  signed  a  contract  to 
star  alone  as  a  one-man  show  on  the  new 
Kexall  program  five  times  a  week,  start- 
ing January  first  on  the  CBS  chain.  Sev- 
eral other  radio  offers  iiave  come  his  way, 
one  of  which  he  may  accept.  He  will 
probably  earn  over  $50,000  this  year. 
Would  vqu  call  that  being  a  failure?" 

One  of  the  most  insidious  rumors  that 
floated  around  town  was  that  Don  got 
jobs  only  because  of  Jane's  influence. 
There  was  "The  Follies  of  1934,"  for  in- 
stance, in  which  they  both  appeared.  It 
was  said  that  Jane  wouldn't  go  into  the 
show  unless  Don  was  also  taken. 

Now  let  me  tell  you  what  really  hap- 
pened. Don  Ross  first  got  the  job  in  the 
"Ziegfeld  Follies,"  and  later  he  brought 
Jane  into  the  show  I  Yes,  actually.  You 
see,  he  had  renewed  his  contact  with  the 
Shuberts  (he  had  played  in  their  "Lady 
Butterfly"  some  years  back)  the  first  day 
he  stepped  into  New  York,  and  when  they 
were  starting  production  on  "The  Follies" 
they  called  on  him.  Then  Don  hit  on  the 
idea  of  having  Jane  join  the  show.  He 
felt  that  she  needed  one  Broadway  show 
as  part  of  her  background,  and  "The  Fol- 
lies" with  its  glamour,  tradition  and  pres- 
tige would  provide  the  perfect  setting  for 
her.  It  was  Don,  though,  who  fought  and 
argued  for  top  billing  over  the  other  stars 
for  her,  for  the  best  songs  and  the  best 
"spots"  in  the  show,  so  that  she  would  not 
have  to  share  the  heart-breaking  experi- 
ence of  many  other  radio  stars  who  are 
flops  in  shows. 

To  prove  further  that  Don  was  hired 
on  his  own  merit  here's  something  else 
very  few  people  know.  During  the  run 
of  '"The  Follies,"  Don's  old  sponsors,  the 
Pontiac  company,  wanted  him  back  on  the 
air,  from  nine  to  ten  Saturday  evenings. 
Don  couldn't  appear  on  the  program  and 
in  the  show  at  the  same  time,  so  he  asked 
the  Shuberts  to  release  him  from  his 
"Follies"  contract,  and  they  refused  to  let 
him  go! 

"Don  Ross  held  Jane  back  from  ac- 
cepting an  offer  from  Paramount  Pictures 
because  it  didn't  include  him."  This  is 
another  story  that  has  circulated  around 


Radio  Row,  Broadway  and  Hollywood 
Yes,  Don  did  hold  Jane  back  from  accept 
ing  the  Paramount  offer,  but  here's  wh> 
Jane,  as  you  know,  is  beautiful  and  tal 
ented,  obviously  a  great  bet  for  pictures 
But  she  stutters.  Paramount  wanted 
to  play  the  part  of  a  stuttering  girl! 
you  imagine  anything  more  disastrous 
Don  knew  that  that  sort  of  role  woul« 
forever  destroy  every  bit  of  glamour  an1 
allure  that  Jane's  orchid-like  beauty  seem 
to  radiate.  It  would  spell  her  professiona 
suicide,  so  the  contract  went  un>ignec 
Does  that  sound  like  "jealousy"  or  "hin, 
dering"  to  you  ?    Nor  does  it  to  me,  citheil 

Now  let  me  whisper  a  little  secret  t 
you.  Jane  plans  to  retire  in  about  a  yeal 
or  two.  So  if  you  hear  reports  that  Janl 
is  leaving  to  keep  the  field  clear  for  Dol 
(and  I'll  bet  my  new  spring  beret  thai 
those  whispers  will  fly  thick  and  fast) 
let  me  tell  you  right  here  and  now  jusj 
why  she  is  planning  that  step. 

You  see,  to  the  average  radio  or  movi 
star,  a  career  means  two  things — fame  an 
money.  Jane  is  the  most  unusual  girl  il 
the  world  in  that  she  has  absolutely  nl 
earthly  use  for  fame.  Really.  As  fcl 
money — well,  she  has  been  able  to  savl 
almost  all  of  her  earnings,  and  she  know 
that  Don  can  always  continue  to  suppoil 
her  in  the  style  to  which  she's  been  accu; 
tomed.  So  what  is  left?  What  she  wan 
to  do  is  settle  down  in  the  role  of  wil 
and  mother.  Then,  she  feels,  her  life  wi 
be  complete. 

So  there  we  have  Don  and  Jane.  Nit 
Mr.  and  Miss  Jane  Froman — but  Mr.  an 
Mrs.  Don  Ross !

GERBER 

Announces 
'  a  new  process 

SHAKER -COOKING 

.  .  its  greatest  improvement 
in  Strained  Vegetables 
FOR  BABY 

All  Gerber  Strained  Veg- 
etables are  now  vigorously 
stirred  as  they  steam-cook 
in  their  cans  .  .  a  revolu- 
tionary new  process  that 
shortens  cooking  time  40^ 
to  50%  .  .  gives  fresher, 
finer  flavor  and  brighter 
color  .  .  cooks  every  parti- 
cle more  uniformly  .  .  and  insures  thorough 
sterilization  without  overcooking. 

This  costly  process,  for  which  Gerber  has 
applied  for  patents,  has  never  before  been 
attempted  in  canning.  We  adopted  it,  just  as 
we  did  the  glass-lined  retorts,  the  air-exclud- 
ing equipment,  the  moisture-reduction  in 
vacuum,  the  monel  screens,  because  this  extra 
care  gives  your  baby  finer,  more  nourishing 
foods  than  you  could  get  in  any  other  way. 

Every  Product  Specially 
Prepared  for  Baby 

Gerber's  Strained  Vegetablesare 
especially  grown  for  Baby.  We 
rush  them  crispy-fresh  to  the 
cannery.  To  further  conserve 
vitamins,  we  put  them  through 
every  process  with  air  excluded 
.  .  pre -cooking  .  .  moisture 
regulating  to  save  minerals  .  . 
straining  five  times  as  fine  as 
your  kitchen  sieve  .  .  cooking 
in  cans  by  steam. 

Gerber's  Strained  Vegetables 
are  more  scientifically  prepared 
— minerals  and  vitamins  better 
conserved — than  is  possible 
with  home  equipment.  And 
better  than  ordinary  cans  of 
seasoned  vegetables  opened, 
strained  and  resealed  in  baby- 
sire  cans.  Gerber's  are  unsea- 
soned. Serve  as  they  are,  or 
slightly  seasoned  as  taste  or 
your  doctor  directs.

food  nearest  the  heat

of  the  flat  contradiction  he  was  making. 

"Well,  do  you  really  like  waffles?"  I 
questioned  hopefully. 

"I  really  do" — Lanny  answered  and  then 
stopped — leaving  me  no  place  at  all !  Then, 
taking  pity  on  my  confusion,  he  contin- 
ued : 

"I  like  waffles  a  great  deal,  but  only 
when  they're  crisp  and  extremely  rich. 
And  I  want  to  have  melted  butter  to  pour 
over  them  and  syrup  served  in  a  lavish 
manner.  The  tiny  pats  of  butter  and 
thimbleful  samples  of  syrup  served  in 
some  restaurants — such  as  the" one  in  which 
we  are  eating,"  he  added  in  an  aside — "are 
an  aggravation.  Now,  my  mother  serves 
waffles  the  right  way. 

"What  are  the  proportions  she  uses?"  I 
asked  hopefully,  pencil  and  paper  ready 
and  all  set  to  take  down  quantities. 

"Do  you  know  the  story  of  King  Alfred 
the  Wise?"  replied  Lanny. 

"Speaking  of  waffles?"  I  asked. 

"No,  speaking  of  cakes." 

"But  we're  not  speaking  of  cakes!"  I 
objected. 

"True  enough,"  grinned  Lanny,  "but  I 
see  unmistakable  signs  that  you  are  going 
to  talk  cooking  at  me,  and  I'm  going  to 
make  you  listen  to  my  story  first.  It's  a 
famous  folk  tale,  one  known  to  every  Eng- 
lish schoolboy." 

"Well,  go  ahead,"  I  replied,  feeling  that 
I  could  sit  and  listen  to  any  story  if 
Lanny  would  just  smile  occasionally  dur- 
ing the  telling.  (It's  really  a  devastating 
smile !  I'm  sure  I  shall  never  be  the  same 
again  after  seeing  those  perfect  teeth  flash 
at  me.) 

"Once  upon  a  time,"  said  Lanny,  "and 
I  want  you  to  pay  strict  attention  to 
teacher — once  upon  a  time,  about  1,000 
years  ago,  good  King  Alfred  of  England 
had  to  hide  from  the  Danes,  whom  he 
was  trying  to  chase  from  the  shores  of 
his  country.  He  came  to  a  swineherd's 
cottage  and,  without  revealing  his  iden- 
tity, asked  to  be  admitted.  The  swine- 
herd's wife  told  him  yes,  he  could  come  in 
and  mend  his  bow  and  arrow  providing  he 
would  watch  her  cakes  cooking  on  the 
hearth  while  she  was  out,  to  see  that  they 
did  not  burn.  The  young  king  sat  down 
by  the  blazing  fire  and  soon  was  plunged 
so  deep  in  thought  that  he  never  even  no- 
ticed the  strong  smell  of  burning  cakes. 
The  housewife  returned  and  scolded  him 
roundly,  making  caustic  comments,  I  wa- 
ger, on  his  stupidity  as  a  cook." 

"And  I  suppose,"  I  interrupted,  "that 
the  moral  of  this  affecting  recital  is  that 
kings  should  stick  to  their  king-ing." 

"And  singers  should  stick  to  their  sing- 
ing," laughed  Lanny.  "Go  to  the  head 
of  the  class,  Miss  Wood.  You've  come 
here  to  interview  me  on  the  subject  of 
cooking.  Well,  I  don't  know  how  to  cook, 
I  never  did  know  how  to  cook,  and  fur- 
thermore I  never  intend  to  learn.  So, 
now,  aren't  you  sorry  you  chose  me  for 
one  of  your  Cooking  School  broadcasts?" 

"I  certainly  am  not,"  I  declared.  "And, 
anyway,  you  surely  know  that  old  bro- 
mide, 'I  don't  know  anything  about  mu- 


60 


sic,  but  I  know  what  I  like!'  Well,  tht 
same  holds  true  of  the  food  question.  ! 
know  you  enjoy  eating — I've  had  visibk 
proof  of  that — so  suppose  you  just  tel 
me  what  you  like  to  eat." 

"I  like  sweets,"  he  replied  quickly. 

"Remarkable!"  I  exclaimed,  laughing. 

"Fortunate!"   said   he,   laughing,  Hoo 
"If  I  didn't  like  desserts,  I  don't 
what  I'd  do.    For,  since  I  became  mast 
of  ceremonies  on  the  Log  Cabin  progra 
I've  been  served  maple-flavored  sweets  a 
every  home  to  which  I  have  been  invit 
'We're  having  just  a  simple  main  cours 
Lanny,'  my  hostess  will  inform  me, 
we're  going  to  have  the  most  marvelo 
maple  dessert !"  At  first  I  was  a  bit  su 
prised,  as  I  had  thought  of  maple  syr 
as  being  something  one  poured  over  wafi 
and  hot  cakes  in  copious  quantities,  an 
that  was  that.    But  not  so  the  imaginati 
cooks  and  caterers  of  the  land,  it  seem; 
I've  sampled  some  of  the  most  deliciou 
concoctions  of  late.    Actually,  you  know 
it's  a  little  like  breaking  your  arm — yo 
immediately   see,    and    hear   of,  nothin 
but  people  who  have  broken  arms,  too !  S 
now  that  I'm  doing  a  broadcast  for  Loj 
Cabin,  I've  learned  about  any  number  o 
dishes  calling  for  maple  syrup  that  I  neve 
even  heard  of  before.   Why,  I  even  caugr 
my  manager's  cook  in  the  act  of  pourin 
some  into  the  cocktail  shaker. 

"Seriously,  though,"  he  continued,  "mo5 
of  the  combinations  have  been  superb,  an 
the  maple  syrup  has  given  a  distinctiv 
flavor  to  an  otherwise  prosaic  dish.  Fc 
instance,  I  abhor  Rice  Pudding.  But 
had  a  so-called  New  England  Maple  Ric 
Pudding  the  other  day  that  was  entirel 
different  and  really  great.  I  don't  suppoi 
I  can  tell  you  anything  about  Maple  Ic 
Cream  that  you  don't  already  know,  bi 
you  ought  to  try  a  Maple  Mousse  son? 
time  if  you  want  to  taste  something  spt 
cial. 

"Then  the  other  day  I  had  a  cake  fk 
vored  with  maple  and  with  a  Maple  Sauc 
over  it.  My  hostess  called  it  'Cabin  Put 
ding.'  I  don't  know  anything  about  ho- 
lt was  done,  but  I  can  speak  for  results 

(So  can  I,  now  that  I  ha^e  tried  it  of 
in  my  home  test  kitchen  and  discovert 
what  a  delicious  and  novel  version  it  is  c 
the  familiar  "Cabinet  Pudding.") 

"But  the  best  of  all  the  maple  dishi 
I've  had,"  continued  Lanny,  "was  or 
made  by  my  manager's  colored  maid — ar 
can  that  gal  cook !  It  was  Maple  Candit 
Sweet  Potatoes.  If  you  think  you  can  p: 
a  colored  cook  down  to  exact  proportion 
you  can  phone  her  and  ask  for  her  recipe 

(I  made  a  note  of  that,  you  may  1 
sure.) 

"And  now,"  said  Lanny  rising,  with  i 
air  of  courteous  finality,  "if  you'll  tt 
your  photographer  to  come  up  to  tl 
apartment  tomorrow  morning,  I'll  let  hij 
take  a  picture  of  yours  truly  eating  tlj

ny  theme  song  to.  'Waffle  I  do,  when  you 
ire  far  away'  "—and  Lanny  sang  it  gaily 
md  with  evident  relish  for  the  pun. 

"I  shall  take  the  hint."  I  replied,  "and 
;o  far,  jar  away— back  to  my  test  kitchen, 
vhere  I'll  try  the  Rice  and  the  Cabin  pud- 
lings  you  mentioned,  while  impatiently 
.waiting  the  colored  maid's  sweet  potato 
pecialty  and  the  waffle  recipe  you  prom- 
sed  to  have  your  Mother  send  me." 

That  about  terminated  the  interview,  but 
vas  just  the  beginning  of  my  researches 
nto  maple-flavored  foods.  Inspired  by 
,anny  Ross'  suggestions,  I  decided  to  try

 SAVES  ME  WORK  AND  MONEY,  TOO! 

""T"<OR  years  I've  been  cooking  spaghetti  at 
_£7  home  because  I  thought  we  didn't  like 
any  other  kind.  But  today  I  had  some  Franco- 
American  at  a  friend's  house — and  did\  enjoy 
it!  Why,  it's  not  the  least  like  ordinary  ready- 
prepared  spaghetti.  It's  simply  delicious — far 
better  than  any  home-cooked  spaghetti  I  ever 
tasted,  my  own  included!  I'm  certainly  always 
going  to  serve  Franco-American  now." 

Franco- American's  wonderful  sauce — rich, 
savory,  delicately  piquant — captivates  every- 
one who  tastes  it.  Made  as  only  truly  skilled 
chefs  can  make  a  sauce,  it  contains  eleven 
different  ingredients  .  .  .  luscious  ripe  toma- 
toes .  .  .  choice  Cheddar  cheese  .  .  .  subtly 
blended  spices  and  seasonings  that  give  it 
incomparable  flavor  and  appetite  appeal. 

All  ready  to  heat  and  serve;  such  a  saving 
of  w  ork  for  you.  More  economical,  too.  Gen- 
erous can  holding  three  to  four  portions  is 
never  more  than  ten  cents  —  less  than  it 
costs  to  buy  dry  spaghetti  and  other 
ingredients  and  prepare  it  at  home!

retta had  in  New  Orleans  last  summer. 
Radio  people  of  importance  seldom  get 
vacations.  But  the  amazing  thing  is  that 
despite  their  separation  their  love  has 
grown  greater  and  deeper  and  truer  with 
the  passing  of  time.  Which,  if  you  ask 
me,  is  one  of  the  surest  indications  of  the 
real  thing.  Particularly  when  so  much 
has  happened. 

To  Loretta — well,  George  Hall  took 
her  talent  in  the  raw  and  let  it  develop 
unhindered.  The  biggest  audience  re- 
sponse seemed  to  come  from  her  blues 
numbers,  she  found,  so  little  by  little  she 
relaxed  into  giving  a  low-down  tune  what 
she  felt  she  had  to  give  it.  Soon  the 
now  famous  Loretta  Lee  style  of  singing 
evolved,  something  to  see  as  well  as  to 
hear.  If  she  knew  that  people  really 
thought  of  her  as  hot,  as  well  as  her 
music,  I'm  sure  it  would  be  disastrous. 
Rather  than  be  considered  affected  she'd 
stand  behind  that  microphone  like  a  stick. 
And  flop.  Loretta  couldn't  sing  without 
rhythm  flowing  through  her  from  her 
head  to  her  toes.  It  goes  over,  all 
right.  Witness  her  own  coast-to-coast 
program,  the  tremendous  demand  for  her 
at  guest  artist  performances,  benefits, 
vaudeville  houses.  Unlimited  pursuit  from 
men.  Adulation.  She  is,  off  the  air  and 
off  stage,  so  freshly  beautiful.  Long- 
lashed  grey  eyes,  misty  brown  hair.  She 
has  fame  that  might  make  any  other  girl's 
heart  turn. 

To  Irving — he's  an  up  and  coming 
young  accountant  now  in  a  New  Orleans 
firm ;  and  he  still  plays  the  trumpet  in  Al 
Streiman's  Orchestra  at  night.  No  va- 
cations for  him,  either,  with  two  jobs. 
Hard-working  young  man.  Because  there 
are  plans  ahead.    She'll  be  coming  home 


to  stay  with  him  forever  some  day 

In  the  meantime  his  heart  hasn't  do 
any  turning !     Loretta,  woman-like, 
sort  of  seen  to  that.    Holding  your 
by  the  good  old  radio  method  of 
mote  control"  may  be  difficult,  but  it 
worth  it  to  her. 

Here's  how  it  works.  On  Tuesdaj 
Wednesday,  Thursday  and  Friday  he 
tune  her  in.  That  means  staying  up  't 
one  a.  m.  down  in  New  Orleans,  gettin 
an  early  lunch  hour  now  and  then,  hurryin 
home  on  Thursday  afternoons.  On  Sa 
urday  there's  the  weekly  "long  distanc 
call  when  with  tortuous  magic  a  lot  < 
wires  and  telephone  poles  and  gadge 
link  up  to  carry  whispered  love  message 
back  and  forth  across  the  continent.  The 
on  Sunday  and  Monday  extra  long,  swe 
letters. 

And,  in  all  the  in-between  times,  hok 
ing  her  man  means  to  Loretta  being  tr 
to  him.    That's  not  why  she  doesn't  hav 
dates.    If  she  found,  among  the  score 
who  petition  her    favors,   anybody  sli 
really  wanted  to  go  out  with  she'd  fe 
perfectly  free  to  do  so.    But  as  yet  no  or 
else   has  ever  looked  half  as  charming 
her  as  a  memory  back  home ;  and  that  ac 
mission,  because  he  knows  it,  must  sure! 
be  a  comfort  and  a  strong  binding  tie 
Irving. 

She's  keeping  on  in  radio  for  a  tin 
yet  because  she  hates  to  do  things  1 
halves.  While  he's  getting  soundly  < 
his  feet,  she's  working  away  intently 
til  he  does,  singing  all  her  love  songs 
him.  The  one  man  for  her.  Living  he 
own  quiet  life  with  her  aunt  and  savii 
some  money,  she's  waiting. 

When  the  Great  Day  comes — when  tl 
two  see  financial  security  ahead  ar 
blessed  togetherness  assured  forever,  Lo 
retta  Lee  will  quit  radio  as  cold  as  si 
knocked  it.  She's  told  me  so  earnest 
and  for  so  long  now  that  I  know  it's  tru 

For,  rare  phenomena  though  it  m; 
seem,  she's  one  blues  singer  who  doesr 
mind  admitting  that  she  actually  prefe 
tots  and  tea  towels  to  torch  songs !

o  as  to  have  first-hand  information  for 
ou,  and  to  gather  some  additional  helpful 
n'nts  to  pass  on  to  you.  The  sun  was 
ust  peeping  through  the  clouds,  revealing 
ill  the  tall  spires  of  Manhattan  in  a  gray 
nist,  when  I  arrived.  It  gave  me  a  thrill 
o  think  that  some  of  you  readers  might 
>e  hearing  that  very  broadcast,  too. 

Every  morning,  with  the  exception  of 
Sundays  and  holidays,  for  "going-on-ten" 
ears,  Mr.  Bagley  has  been  broadcasting 
etting-up  exercises. 

The  exercises  begin  at  6:45  (EST)  and 
ast  an  hour.  (Ouch!  We  know  that's 
nighty  early  in  the  Middle  West.)  Of 
ourse,  if  you  live  out  on  the  West  Coast, 
ve  wouldn't  suggest  your  getting  up  at 
>:45  in  the  morning  in  order  to  tune  in 
m  the  program,  but  you  can  select  your 
>wn  common-sense  exercises  and  tune  in 
>n  a  nearby  station  in  the  morning  to  get 
ome  rhythmic  music  by  which  to  enjoy 
our  getting-in-trim  drills. 

Mr.  Bagley  knows  what  he  is  talking 
ibout  when  it  comes  to  exercises.  He  su- 
lervised  gymnasiums  for  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
or  twenty-three  years,  and  he  directed  the 
oldiers  in  exercise  drills  at  training 
ramps.  During  the  ten  years  he  has  been 
iroadcasting,  some  two  million  people  have 
vritten  in  to  say  they  listen  in  to  him 
egularly,  and  one  can  only  guess  at  how 
nany  others  listen  in  who  don't  write  the 
■tation.  Physicians  and  nurses  recommend 
lis  broadcasts  to  their  patients.  Women 
vrite  in  to  tell  him  how  much  they've 
lained,  or  lost,  since  taking  his  exercises, 
>r  about  how  much  better  they  are  feeling 
ind  looking.  He's  good! 

Now  we're  going  to  be  kind  to  you  at 
he  start,  and  let  you  begin  on  the  easy 
xercise  Mr.  Bagley  heartily  recommends 
is  an  eye-opener.  Stretch  .  .  .  that's  easy, 
sn't  it?  Just  stretch,  stretch,  stretch, 
our  arms,  your  legs,  your  neck,  your 
vhole  body,  from  the  tips  of  your  fingers 

0  the  ends  of  your  toes,  much  as  a  cat 
tretches.  The  cat  family  has  stretching 
lown  to  a  fine  art,  so  watch  your  pet 
tabby  stretch,  if  you  have  one. 

You'll  find  his  exercises  have  imaginative 
names  that  are  often  self-explanatory. 
There's  the  Goose  Step,  the  same  practised 
y  the  German  soldiers  during  the  war; 
he  "Turnstile,"  which  consists  of  swing- 
ng  from  the  hips  from  side  to  side  like 

1  regular  turnstile;  the  "Punching  Bag," 
lriving  your  fists  forward  and  back ;  the 

Bicycle  Ride,"  lying  on  your  back  with 
he  arms  alongside,  then  lifting  the  legs 
o  vertical,  bending  the  knees  and  hips  in 
ast  time,  as  though  you  were  riding  an 
maginary  bicycle ;  and  so  on. 
Fifteen  minutes  of  exercise  and  your 
irculation  is  in  a  warm  glow,  and  you  can 
>e  sure  that  when  blood  circulation  is  in- 
creased, more  food  is  being  brought  to 
^ur  tissues,  and  more  waste  carried  away 
by  them.  After  all,  we're  not  just  stenog- 
raphers, and  housewives,  and  mothers ; 
we're  living  machines  made  up  of  bone

That  faded,  dingy  tone  which 
skin  so  often  acquires  is  really  caused  by 
lack  of  certain  color  notes  in  it. 

What  these  lacking  color  notes  are  has 
now  been  found  out,  and  scientifically 
recorded!  Now  these  magic  tints  are 
blended  in  entirely  new  and  different 
powder  shades  by  Pond's. 

That  is  why  this  new  powder  brings 
life  to  your  skin — instantly!  Blonde  skin 
is  immediately  brightened  until  it  ap- 
pears positively  radiant.  Brunette  skin 
gains  at  once  a  new  sparkle — a  vibrant 
glow.  Every-  skin  texture  looks  suave, 
velvety — inviting. 

And  this  scientifically  blended  powder 
clings  so  closely,  spreads  so  evenly,  it 
never  shows  up,  never  cakes,  or  blotches.

and  muscle,  blood  and  nerves.  If  we 
don't  use  our  bodies,  they  get  flabby,  old, 
and  ugly. 

It  takes  gumption,  of  course,  to  keep 
at  your  exercises  day  in  and  day  out. 
"Gumption"  is  a  favorite  word  of  Ma- 
dame Sylvia's.  And  if  ever  a  person  pos- 
sessed gumption,  and  pluck,  and  spirit, 
and  ability,  it's  Sylvia.  You  can't  help  but 
drop  the  "Madame"  part  after  you've  once 
met  her.  She  is  a  regular  whirlwind  of 
energy,  a  regular  dynamo  of  vitality,  and 
yet  she's  just  about  as  big  as  a  minute. 
Is  "gumption"  in  exercising  and  proper 
dieting  worth  while?  Look  at  Sylvia's 
picture  and  judge  for  yourself.  She  is 
fifty-three — yes,  she  is,  whether  you 
believe  it  or  not — and  proud  of  it.  The 
picture  doesn't  show  her  lovely  complexion 
coloring,  either.  I  have  met  her  several 
times  and  have  never  failed  to  be  impressed 
anew  with  her  tremendous  vitality.  When 
she  comes  into  a  room,  you  say  to  your- 
self, "There  is  a  person!" 

Sylvia  "darlings"  and  "baby's"  everyone 
impartially.  She  scolds  every  lazy  soul 
with  an  equal  impartiality.  And  makes 
them  love  it.  She  has  scolded  the  pam- 
pered stars  of  the  screen,  and  the  moneyed 
darlings  of  the  wealthy,  and  they  have 
been  docile  as  lambs  in  following  her  in- 
structions, because  they  knew  she  produced 
results.  There's  no  hokum  about  Sylvia. 
If  she  can't  do  anything  for  you,  she'll 
tell  you  so.  But  she  generally  can.  Con- 
stance Bennett,  Grace  Moore,  Norma 
Shearer,*  Barbara  Hutton — yes,  even  Ron- 
ald Colman — are  but  a  few  on  the  long 
roster  of  "big  names"  who  owe  a  debt  of 
gratitude  to  Sylvia. 

Perhaps  you  are  saying  to  yourselves, 
"That's  easy  enough  for  the  celebrities 
who  can  afford  to  have  Sylvia  give  them 
treatments  every  day,  and  put  them 
through  their  prescribed  tricks.  But  what 
about  us  .  .  .  how  can  we  work  such  mir- 
acles? That's  the  very  point  that  Sylvia 
makes  in  her  broadcasts.  What  she  has 
done  for  her  patients,  others  can  do  for 
themselves,  if  they  have  enough  gumption 
(there's  that  word  again  .  .  .  it's  getting 
to  be  my  favorite,  too),  and  plain  ordinary 
stick-to-itiveness.  She  gives  you  exercises 
and  diets  for  gaining  either  weight  or 
energy,  for  reducing  or  building  up  in 
spots,  for  clearing  up  the  complexion. 
Circulation  .  .  .  circulation  .  .  .  that's  the 
secret  of  physical  fitness  and  a  smooth 
skin.  Tepid  showers  instead  of  devital- 
izing hot  baths,  with  cold  water  finishes 
if  you  can  stand  them,  and  vigorous  mas- 
sages with  coarse  Turkish  towels,  espe- 
cially concentrating  your  massage  on  the 
spine.  Certainly  we  need  good  circulation 
to  put  us  in  a  warm  glow  this  kind  of 
weather.  Eat  raw  apples,  raw  carrots, 
lettuce,  cooked  beets,  blackberries,  cherries, 
spinach  juice,  figs  and  dates.  All  these 
foods  are  pep  producers  and  excellent 
blood  tonics. 

One  of  the  best  suggestions  (if  you  can 
select  a  best  one)  that  Sylvia  makes  as 
a  general  exercise  for  both  fats  and  slims 


is  dancing.  A  snappy  fox-trot  is  a  tonii 
to  beauty,  according  to  Sylvia.  Eve 
night — imagine  you're  dancing  with 
Crosby,  if  you  must — but  dance.  Tim 
on  the  radio  and  dance  from  •  a  hal 
hour  to  an  hour  at  a  time.  Have  th> 
room  well-aired.  A  stuffy  place  in  whie 
to  dance  doesn't  do  your  lungs  any  go 
The  old-fashioned  two-step  with  a  hop 
ping  motion  is  grand  exercise  .  . 
close,  step,  with  hands  high  above  yo 
head,  and  your  hips  swaying  a  la  Ma 
West. 

Sylvia    favors    early    morning  rising 
too,  so  I  guess  there's  no  getting  av 
from  it.    After  all,  eating  breakfast  in 
hurry,  skipping  your  exercises,  and  r 
giving   yourself    time   enough    for  go 
grooming,  is  a  pretty  sure  way  to  sts 
the  day  all  wrong.    Sylvia  would  put 
a  word  about  luncheons,  too,  we  feel  pre 
certain.    A  friend  of  mine  told  me  ah 
Sylvia  throwing   up  her  hands  in  ho 
horror  when  she  mentioned  her  soda-sanc 
wich  lunch.    Sylvia  said  she  should  ha 
a  good  big  salad  with  plenty  of  crisp  le 
tuce  and,  fresh  vegetables  and  fruit, 
girl    was   one    of    those    "in-betweens,  • 
neither  too  fat  nor  too  thin,  but  her  con 
plexion  was  losing  its  smooth  clearne 
Incidentally,    however,    fresh    fruits  a 
vegetables  are  necessary  for  both  fats 
thins,  you  know.    If  you  want  to  get  fa 
don't  choose  the  heavy  foods  that  will  gi 
you  sluggish  circulation  and  a  bad  skin. 

First  and  foremost,  of  course,  you  mu 
be  able  to  size  up  your  defects  in 
mirror.    That  isn't  always  easy,  becaui' 
you're  so  used  to  seeing  yourself  as  y 
are  that  it  is  difficult  to  see  yourself 
others  see  you.     Don't  depend  on  yo 
friends.    You  know  they  generally  thir 
you   want   their  candied  opinion  inste 
of  their  candid,  frank  one.    Select  son 
screen  or  radio  star  that  you  know  has 
good  figure,  and  use  her  as  a  "measurir 
stick.     Remember,  too,  that  bad  postu 
can  make  defects  easily  remedied  throug 
good  posture. 

Now  if  you've  started  to  map  out,

ust  18  and  Head 
of  the  House 

(Continued  from  page  42) 

jney  from  his  oil  wells  ceased  coming 

,  he  never  went  to  his  wife  and  said, 
)arling,  we  must  cut  down  on  expenses." 
stead  he  tried  to  live  as  though  nothing 
d  happened,  taking  greater  and  greater 
mbles  on  success.  Finally,  he  sank  a 
rtune   in  a  hotel   in  Florida  and  you 

Low  what  happened  after  the  Florida 
om.  The  shock  of  realizing  that  he 
uld  no  longer  provide  for  his  loved  ones 

[d  something  to  him,  and  suddenly  all 

Is  vitality  deserted  him. 
He  tried  to  keep  his  misery  from  them. 

,t  Annette's  eyes  saw  deep  and  true.  She 

ust  do  something.  She  must !  If  things 
In't  happen  soon,  there  would  be  no  one 
take  care  of  her  mother ;  why,  Frankie, 

ir  adored  younger  brother,  might  even 
ve  to  leave  school. 

Slowly  the  thought  came  to  Annette 
'at  her  singing  might  mean  a  path  out 
the  wilderness.  She  begged  and  pleaded 
th  her  father  to  let  her  open  a  music 
ire,  and  reluctantly  he  let  her  do  it. 
jrhaps  you've  heard  about  that  music 
Dre,  but  I'm  sure  you've  never  heard 
me  of  the  strange  things  that  happened 
ere. 

It  was  a  music  store  out  of  a  story  book. 
ie  fixed  it  up  like  a  studio  with  dark 
ue  wicker  chairs,  gay  rugs,  and  a  black 
id  yellow  showcase.  She  swept  and 
;aned  the  store  herself,  and  sold  pianos, 
lonographs,  radio  service  and  sheet 
usic,  which  she  always  demonstrated 
rself. 

It  was  a  tough  spot  for  a  girl  as  young 
id  naive  as  Annette.  For  here  came  all 
e  town's  gay  young  blades ;  here  came 
ugh  gangsters ;  here  came  all  the  people 
the  town.  Right  behind  the  shop  was 
e  Italian  colony,  with  its  hard-working 
mng  mothers  carrying  their  little  bam- 
nos  in  their  arms,  and  the  blustering 
en  who  spoke  a  language  strange  to  An- 
•tte's  ears. 

What  was  Annette  to  do?  Wise-crack 
them?  Play  at  being  the  hard-boiled 
>ung  thing  ?  Greet  them  with  a  smile

Ointment  and  Soap 


Italian  drowned  out  all  of  their  pleas. 

"How  much  is  this?  And  this?  And 
this?"  the  Italian  gangster  would  ask 
Annette.  The  cheap  records  he  passed  hy 
scornfully,  hut  just  as  soon  as  she  men- 
tioned a  high  price  for  one,  he  would  turn 
to  the  other  Italians  who  stood  trembling 
in  their  boots  and  order  them,  "Buy  that!" 

Then  there  was  the  boy  whose  mother 
burned  a  hole  in  his  trousers. 

He  was  a  tall  gangly  youth,  nineteen 
years  old.  To  Annette  he  confessed  that 
although  he  was  a  Catholic  he  had  never 
been  confirmed.  She  told  him  that  it  was 
not  too  late. 

Finding  her  sympathetic,  he  went  on 
with  his  confession.  "You  know,"  he  said, 
"my  mother  was  ironing  my  trousers  and 
she  burnt  a  hole  in  them,  so  I  popped  her 
one  on  the  nose." 

Of  course  Annette  was.  horrified,  but 
she  managed  to  explain  to  the  gangly 
youth  that  it  wasn't  quite  the  thing  to  do 
to  go  about  popping  one's  mother  on  the 
nose. 

Shortly  afterwards  he  was  confirmed  at 
the  same  time  as  Annette's  younger  brother 
Frankie,  and  I  understand  that  after,  under 
Annette's  influence,  his  character  under- 
went a  striking  change.  He  even  gave  up 
the  diversion  of  beating  up  his  mother. 

Finally  Annette  sold  her  little  music 
shop  at  a  profit.  But  her  father's  health 
continued  to  fail,  and  when  she  was  eight- 
tcen  years  old,  he  died,  leaving  her  and 
Frankie  and  her  mother  unprovided  for. 
He  had  left  not  a  penny  of  insurance  and 
nothing  from  the  wreckage  of  his  fortune. 

There  was  no  one  to  help  them.  An- 
nette's older  brother  was  married  and  had 
two  children  of  his  own  to  take  care  of. 
Her  mother  had  never  been  trained  for 
making  a  living.  Her  young  brother 
Frankie  hadn't  finished  grammar  school, 
and  it  was  her  dream  and  his  that  he  was 
to  become  a  great  surgeon  some  day. 

Where  was  the  money  to  come  from? 
Annette's  fingers  trembled  as  she  picked 
up  the  bills  that  kept  pouring  in. 

With  her  father's  death,  Annette  was 
the  head  of  the  family.  She,  who  was  so 
frightened  of  life  herself,  didn't  dare  show 
it.  For  Frankie's  sake,  for  the  sake  of 
her  mother,  she  must  take  her  father's 
place. 

You  have  read  of  what  happened,  of 
how  she  sang  at  parties,  how  Wally  Rose, 
then  recording  manager  of  Pathe,  heard 
her  sing,  and  asked  her  to  take  some  tests 
for  phonograph  records.  You've  heard 
how,  under  several  different  names,  she 
made  thousands  of  records,  and  how  at 
last  she  won  a  place  for  herself  on  the 
air. 

But  the  story  that  no  one  knows  is  how 
she  became  Frankie's  guide  and  his  in- 
spiration and  was  both  father  and  sister 
to  him.  She  not  only  sent  him  through 
school,  but  she  gave  him  a  code  by  which 
to  live. 

It  was  such  a  simple  code,  yet  it  was 
one  that  would  make  a  man  of  any  boy 
who  followed  it :  "Always  take  the  blame 
for  everything  you  do,  but  never  tell  on 
anyone  else."  Frankie  followed  it,  as 
though  his  very  life  depended  on  it.  There 
was  the  time  he  got  into  trouble  in  school 
because  he  obeyed  it. 

One  afternoon  he  and  a  group  of  about 
fourteen  other  boys  who  had  been  playing 
football   in   the   school   yard   climbed  in 


through  a  window  for  a  drink  of  watf 
The  next  day  their  teacher  announo 
sternly  that  "A  group  of  boys  were  «c 
climbing  in  through  the  window  yesterda 
Which  of  you  boys  were  in  the  grouj 
Stand  up." 

Frankie,  true  to  his  code,  stood  u 
Only  Frankie,  of  all  those  boys. 

"What  boys  were  with  you?"  asked  t 
teacher. 

"I'm  sorry,"  said  Frankie,  "I  can't  U 

you." 

"You  can't  tell  me!''  The  teacher's 
burned  with  rage.  You've  got  to  tell 
But  Frankie  stood  there,  white-lipped, 
fusing.    They  sent  him  to  the  princi] 
office,  where  he  still  refused  to  tell, 
night   he   related   to   Annette  what 
happened.    "You  did  exactly  right," 
nette  told  him,  nodding  her  blonde 
approvingly. 

As  she  was  the  "head  of  the  ho 
the  principal  sent  for  her.  Annette, 
eighteen  herself  and  feeling  like  a 
school-girl   being  sent  to  the  princip 
office,     faced     the    angry,  white- 
woman. 

"Why   don't    you   make    your  brc 
tell?"  demanded  the  principal. 

"Because  I  think  what  he's  doing 
right,"  said  Annette. 

"How  can  you  say  that?  Would 
encourage  your  brother  to  harbor  a  cr 
inal ?" 

This  time  Annette  was  really  furii 
The  color  flamed  in  her  cheeks.  "Xo,

"but  how  dare  you  compare  a  group

day  for  a  drink  of  water  with  criminal: 

It  was  Annette,  shy,  timid  Annette,

into  Frankie  some  of  the  courage  she 
self  learned  when  she  had  to  pit  her 
against  the  world  to  wrest  a  livelihc 
from  it.    Teaching  him  that  her  shyn 
and  reserve  were  a  mistake,  and  that 
must  be  aggressive  to  get  somewhere 
this  world,  where  people  are  only  too  of  | 
taken  at  their  own  valuation. 

But  the  worst  and  most  heart-break  ; 
task  that  Annette  ever  faced  as  the  h»i 
of  the  family  was  when  she  had  to 
Frankie  that  he  must  never  play  foott 
or  basketball  again. 

Frankie  was  always  in  the  midst  of 
worst  scrimmages.    He  was  always  bre;1 
ing  a  leg  or  wrenching  a  shoulder,  but 
never  took  these  injuries  seriously.  Tli 
he  got  septic  poisoning.    The  tissues 
his  head  were  injured. 

The  doctor   called   Annette   aside  ;J 
said.  "Frankie  must  never  play  football  '■ 
basketball  again.    If  ever  the  ball  ws

"I'll  tell  him  somehow,"  Annette  r

Back  to  Frankie's  room  she  went.  Back 
f  his  glowing  face  and  the  hopes  she 
lew  she  would  have  to  shatter.  "What 
<l  the  doctor  say,  Sis?"  he  asked.  "I'll

She  nerved  herself  to  the  task  for  she 
11st  break  this  news  to  him  gently. 
'  rankie,"  she  said  softly,  "the  doctor 
csn't  think  that  would  be  such  a  good 

:a."     He   swallowed   manfully,    and  a 

up  choked  Annette's  throat,  too. 

'At  least  I'll  be  able  to  play  basketball, 
•■n't  I?"  he  asked,  his  eyes  fixed  on  her 

e  and  on  her  honest  blue  eyes, 
i 'Oh,  God,  please  give  me  the  wisdom 
j  say  the  right  thing,"  she  prayed  silently. 

And  that   wisdom   was  given  to  her.

It  was  the  one  argument  that  could 
ssibly  have  won  the  day  for  her.  He 
ght  have  hesitated  if  she  had  explained 
it  his  life  was  in  danger.  To  be  barred 
ever  from  the  two  games  he  loved  best

Just 
24  Hours! 

Colds  Go  Overnight  WhenYou 
Take  the  Right  Thing! 

A COLD  doesn't  have  to  run  its 
course  and  expose  you  to  serious 
complications. 

A  cold  can  be  routed  overnight  if  you 
go  about  it  the  right  way.  First  of  all,  a 
cold  being  an  internal  infection,  calls 
for  internal  treatment.  Secondly,  a  cold 
calls  for  a  COLD  remedy  and  not  for 
a  "cure-all." 

Grove's  Laxative  Bromo  Quinine  is 
what  a  cold  requires.  It  is  expressly  a 
cold  remedy.  It  is  internal  and  direct — 
and  it  does  the  four  things  necessary. 

Fourfold  in  Effect 

It  opens  the  bowels.  It  combats  the  cold 
germs  in  the  system  and  reduces  the 
fever.  It  relieves  the  headache  and  grippy 
feeling.  It  tones  and  fortifies  the  entire 
system.  Anything  less  than  that  is  taking 
chances  with  a  cold.

the  music  and  radio  worlds  are  fast  be- 
coming closer  associates  and  word-of- 
niouth  among  them  will  be  the  best  pos- 
sible advertisement  of  your  talents." 

JOE  PENNER:  "Your  gift  for  com- 
edy needs  the  training  ground  and  acid 
test  of  the  stage.  Try  your  stuff  in  local 
theatricals  first,  amateur  nights  at  nearby 
theatres,  etc.  I  did.  Don't  copy  anybody 
and  don't  be  afraid  to  say  anything  you 
think  will  give  the  folks  a  clean  laugh. 
That's  how  I  hit  on  'Wanna  buy  a  duck?' 
and  some  other  catch  lines.  They  popped 
into  my  head  and  I  said  'em  to  see  what 
would  happen.  Try  keeping  a  notebook- 
like  I  used  to  of  the  gags  that  get  the 
biggest  laughs.  When  you  get  enough  of 
'em  you  can  work  up  an  act  for  vaudeville 
or  burlesque.  Stage  experience  will  take 
kinks  out  of  your  stuff  that  no  amount  of 
small-time  radio  ever  will.  You've  got 
to  have  a  visible  audience  to  know  how 
you're  doing.  Make  the  customers  guffaw 
loud  enough  in  the  theatre  and  the  nearest 
network  will  hear  the  fuss.  Simple." 

ED  WYNN  (The  Fire  Chief)  :  "De- 
cide definitely  what  type  of  humor  you 
have — whether  you  depend  on  material 
like  Fred  Allen,  delivery,  mugging  and 
catch  lines  like  Penner,  a  method  of  pre- 
sentation similar  to  mine,  or  your  own  way 
— if  it's  a  novel  one  that's  all  the  better. 
Then  do  theatricals  and  local  radio  work 
for  experience.  Write  your  own  stuff  if 
possible ;  it  will  better  you  and  give  you 
more  to  offer.  When  you're  sure  you  have 
something  on  the  ball  try  New  York  or 
Chicago.  But  be  certain  to  have  enough 
saved  to  live  six  months  without  working 
because  it  will  take  all  your  time  to  con- 
sistently plug  the  casting  directors  of  the 
webs.  If  after  six  intensive  months  you 
haven't  clicked  on  an  opportunity  go  home, 
improve  yourself  and  try  again.  If  you've 
got  something  good  you'll  get  there." 

PAUL  WHITEMAN  :  "Frankly,  if  you 
want  to  become  a  maestro,  you've  got  to 
know  the  right  people.  No  matter  how, 
but  get  to  know  them !  One  method  in- 
volves becoming  a  musician  wTith  one  of 
the  better  known  bands  on  the  air.  You'll 
learn  then  what  influential  figures  to  see 
and  how  to  reach  them.  Make  yourself 
so  dynamic  a  music  personality  that  you 
can  convince  them  you've  got  something 
over  the  rest  of  the  boys.  Then  you're 
set.  Contact  is  all-important  in  the  orch- 
estral field  of  radio." 

GLEN  GRAY  (Casa  Loma  Orchestra)  : 
"Big  bands  grow  from  small  town  or

'  e  music  played  softly.  I  vaguely  heard 
tself  speaking  without  a  voice  quaver  or 
j  mistake.     We  were  on  and  we  went 
tough  it  without  an  error! 
-low  do  they  do  it? 

I  don't  know.  It  is  one  of  the  great 
rsteries  of  radio  that  one  minute  before 
jli  go  on  everything  is  in  a  turmoil  and 
in  when  you  step  before  the  microphone 
t  rything  is  miraculously  all  right.  You 
tji't  drop  your  script  any  more.  You  just 
Ci't  forget  your  lines.

\re  changing  lines  and  cutting  the  script 
c  minute  before  we  went  on  the  air,  be- 
cise  we  discovered  we  were  two  minutes 
crtime.  This  naturally  precluded  the 
jsibility  of  any  final  rehearsal.  Yet  none 
t  the  programs  went  so  letter-perfect  as 
*s  one.

Will  They  Kill  Winchell?

•  Why  let  your  hair  get  that  harsh, 
faded, "worn-out" look?  The  popu- 
lar hair  dressing  demands  hair 
that  is  soft  and  smooth,  with  youth- 
ful color  sleekness. 

ColoRinse  in  the  shampoo  wash 
will  put  subtle  color  toning  into 
your  hair  with  a  soft,  pliant  lustre-

of  ridicule  their  enemy  trains  on  them 
almost  dailv. 

The  answer  is  no,  because  Winchell  is 
getting  old — and  with  age  the  yen  for 
respectability  becomes  stronger.  The 
words  he  has  invented  are  now  in  dic- 
tionaries. Gray-bearded  professors  write 
heavy  articles  about  him.  Walter  likes 
these  things.  He  reads,  he  studies,  he 
yearns  for  a  literary  career — to  earn  a 
place  beside  Jonathan  Swift  and  Thomas 
Carlyle  and  other  brainy  boys  who  grew 
great  by  throwing  the  harpoon  at  their 
fellow  men. 

Have  you  listened  to  him  recently  on  the 
air — or  read  his  column?  Catch  the  note 
of  sweetness  and  light.  Watch  him 
slickly  try  to  alter  the  picture  of  Win- 
chell, the  Broadway  mud  toter,  to  Win- 
chell, the  Broadway  good  Samaritan. 
Both  are  Winchell,  but  the  world  doesn't 
change  as  easily  as  one  man. 

Whom  does  he  fight  with  most?  His 
managing  editor,  Emil  Gavreau,  the  man 
who  found  him  and  taught  him  the  trick 
of  skinning  a  victim  in  the  press  with- 
out suffering  the  consequence.  Why  does 
he  fight  him?  Because  Gavreau  clamors 
for  more  assault,  more  snoop,  more  mud 
— these  things  make  readers — readers  make 
money.  Of  all  these  things  Walter  is 
weary.  He  is  growing  mellow.  But 
Gavreau's  whip  is  across  his  shoulders — 
and  it's  go  on  for  Winchell. 

Where  do  the  haters  come  from? 
From  gossip  relayed  to  the  wide  world, 
gossip  that  should  have  been  kept  se- 
cret. Names  slandered,  pride  hurt,  fam- 
ilies disgraced,  careers  ended — these  are  the 
good  iron  loam  for  hatred.  Wasn't  it 
he  who  said  "you  must  pump  people  for 
news  .  .  .  you  can  always  manage  to 
find  a  leak  in  the  person  who  promised 
not  to  tell." 

Not  very  dangerous,  but  important  en- 
emies are  the  rival  columnists,  those  on 
other  tabloid  newspapers.  Almost  daily 
there  is  a  leaf  from  the  poison  column  in 
their  oatmeal.  Here  are  two  examples, 
chosen  at  random : 

"We  know  you  don't  give  a  damn  about 
the  petty  pranks  of  our  pupils — most  of 
whose  jobs  were  made  possible  by  our  pil- 
lar and  the  inventor  of  carbon  copy.  .  .  ." 

"Things  that  put  me  to  sleep :  Echoes 
who  alibi  that  they  ape  this  column  because 
they  are  'under  orders.'  " 

Yet  he  goes  along  merrily,  making  en- 
emies. Does  having  enemies  disturb  the 
debonnaire  Winchell  ?  The  answer  is 
yes.  The  answer  is  also  no.  Yes,  because 
you  see  it  in  his  jitters,  his  nervousness 
■ — unquestionably  Radio's  most  nervous 
performer.  They  tell  me  that  at  his 
debut  broadcast  he  was  shaking  so  hard 
he  couldn't  talk.  A  friends  told  him  to 
take  hold  of  a  table  and  grip  it  hard  to 
hold  down  the  quivering — and  so  he  man- 
aged to  go  through  with  it.  But  even 
today,  supposedly  a  seasoned  broadcaster, 
he  is  as  jumpy  as  a  three-ring  flea  circus. 

His  hat  stays  on  his  head — always.  He 
loosens  his  necktie,  pitches  his  coat  to  a 
chair — and  he  is  off  .  .  .  da-da-da-di-di-da. 


...  He  speaks  so  rapidly  he  loses 
breath.  When  that  happens  he 
the  telegraph  key.  It  is  there  as  a 
effect,  but  principally  to  give  him  an 
portunity  to  regain  his  breath.  WhtJ 
broadcast  is  over,  he  slumps,  compli 
exhausted. 

Superficially,  these  enemies  don't 
him.     He  seems  to  glory  in  them, 
brags  about  them.    Someone  wrote  a 
called  the  "Columnist  Murder."  The 
umnist  in  the  story  was  Winchell  to 
flesh,  a  full-length  portrait.    Walter  lc 
it,  talked  about  it  to  the  public. 

But  if  you  want  to  know  what 
the  Winchell  wheels  go  around,  read 
story    he   printed   in   his  column 
James  Gordon  Bennett,  owner  and 
of   The  Neic   York  Herald.     It  is 
Winchell  slant  on  beatings,  murders,  ai 
other   things   that   may   happen  to  hir 
"On  a  couple  of  occasions,  according 
his  own  files,  irate  victims  called  at  tl 
Herald  and  horsewhipped  Bennett. 

"Stories  of  the  whippings  were  pror 
inent  in  the  next  day's  paper  and  Ne 
York  read  them  avidly.    A  heckler  on] 
accused  Bennett  of  printing  these  stori 
to  exhibit  himself  as  a  wronged  man. 

"Wronged     hell!'     Bennett  boome 
'there  are  any  number  of  people  in  Ne] 
York  who  have  no  greater  pleasure  th; 
to  read  of  me  being  hurt.    They  pay  ii'i 
the  paper  so  I  give  them  what  they  like.' 

When  Al  Jolson  knocked  him  dov. 
twice  in  the  belief  that  Winchell  w; 
about  to  reveal  the  story  behind  his  ma 
riage  to  Ruby  Keeler,  did  Winchell  ri 
in  a  corner  and  hide?  No,  he  told  tl 
world  about  it — as  James  Gordon  Bei 
nett  would  have  done.  That's  goc 
journalism — and  you  have  to  tip  yoi 
toque  to  that.  Winchell  is  a  durn  got 
reporter. 

Give  the  leopard  credit  for  his  spot 
He  was  the  first  to  interview  the  ma 
who  shot  at  President  Roosevelt  an 
killed  Mayor  Cermak  of  Chicago.  He  w; 
the  first  to  break  the  news  of  the  death  c 
Baby  Face  Nelson,  of  the  Dillinger  gan; 

Oh,  he's  not  all  black,  not  by  a  carg 
of  facts.  In  parts  he  is  shiny  white.  B 
has  a  way  of  hurling  himself  into  cri 
sades.  When  Hollis  and  Cowley,  th 
two  Federal  agents  were  killed  by  Ne 
son,  he  campaigned  for  their  widow: 
His  campaign  got  them  jobs.  When  Lyd 
Roberti  was  on  the  point  of  being  d< 
ported,  he  raised  hue  and  cry  and  sh 
stayed.  Newark  reporters  were  on  strik 
Who  helped  with  contributions,  benefit 
whatnot  —  Winchell.  Then  he  lambas 
ed  the  Nazis  and  Hauptmann.  Ever 
day  he  does  his  good  deed,  even  thoug 
he  is  no  member  of  the  Boy  Scouts.  H 
sees  a  street  car  conductor  help  a  blin 
passenger  across  the  street.  He  asks  i 
his  column  that  the  company  give  th 
man  two  days  off  for  this  gallantry. 

They   say   in   his   favor  that  he  wi 
never  discuss  the  peccadillos  of  a  mar 
ried  man  or  woman  in  his  column, 
he  sees  so  and  so  with  a  blonde — and  s 
and  so  is  married  and  the  blonde  is  nc

HOW  many  girls  lose  love  because  of  that 
everlasting  powder  puff!  To  any  sensitive,

them  have  done  everything  except  murder 
to  achieve  a  position  of  prominence.  For 
Winchell's  case,  there  is  the  precedent  of 
his  big  boss,  William  Randolph  Hearst, 
who  with  his  wife  would  not  be  received 
by  New  York  society. 

How  did  Hearst  get  in?  He  blasted 
at  society  in  precisely  the  same  way  Win-

thirty-seven  years  old,  who  was  born  with 
an  ambition  to  throw  a  lump  of  coal  at 
a  silk  hat.  In  the  years  he  has  written 
his  column,  he  has  thrown  the  biggest 
lump  of  coal  ever  thrown  at  the  biggest 
silk  hat  ever  worn. 

I  think  he  would  like  to  quit,  write  a 
book,  produce  a  tamer  more  literary  col- 
umn, make  fewer  enemies — but  he  can't 
do  that  and  keep  Mr.  Gavreau  happy.  He 
can't  do  it  and  keep  on  earning  $150,000 
a  year.  It's  a  mighty  soft  bed  he  has 
made  tor  himself,  but  they  say  if  you 
sleep  too  long  in  a  soft  bed  your  body  gets 


soft  and  you  get  sores  in  all  your  joir 
The  heroic  thing  for  Walter  W 
chell  to  do  would  be  to  lay  it  along 
jolly  old  line,  tell  his  makers  he'll  wr 
his  own  kind  of  column,  leave  priv: 
lives  alone,  point  out  that  other  men  h: 
made  a  success  of  columning  without 
keyhole  to  guide  them.  He'll  win  a  mi 
greater  and  more  abiding  glory  that  w 
and  he  won't — this  talented,  good-hear 
guy  with  the  chip  on  his  shoulder- 
in  such  danger  of  winding  up  face  do 
on  a  marble  slab.

Broken-Hearted,  Yet  He  Laughs 


(Continued  from  paye  45) 


Face  Powder 


A  record  for  those  days! 

After  the  "Carnival"  came  "The  Per- 
fect Fool."  After  that  "The  Grab  Bag." 
Ed  Wynn  was  back  on  Broadway,  feeding 
on  clover.  The  boycott  was  broken.  The 
managers  came  to  him,  hats  in  hands.  One 
of  them,  George  White,  followed  him  to 
Europe  to  sign  him  for  $5,000  a  week, 
a  high  in  salaries. 

Did  it  take  nerve?  Answer  for  your- 
self. 

And  now  take  a  peek  at  his  radio  ven- 
ture. It  started  with  a  fanfare  of  trumpets. 
The  announcement  was  swell.  The  Amal- 
gamated Broadcasting  Company,  Ed 
Wynn,  president,  was  going  to  be  the  third 
chain  in  Radio.  It  was  going  to  make 
the  other  companies  work  hard  to  keep 
their  laurels.  The  networks'  executives 
gnawed  their  nails  and  watched  Ed  Wynn. 

With  characteristic  enthusiasm,  the 
president  of  the  new  company  tossed  his 
money  into  the  venture.  With  character- 
istic innocence,  he  left  most  of  the  manage- 
ment to  others  while  he  filled  theatrical, 
movie  and  radio  engagements.  The  success 
of  the  venture  meant  more  to  him  than 
anyone  will  know.  It  was  an  opportunity 
to  do  on  the  air  what  he  had  dreamed  of 
doing  and  never  been  able  to  do  on  Broad- 
way. 

THEN  suddenly  he  caught  a  glimpse  of 
'  chicanery,  of  fraudulent  dealing,  of  graft. 
There  was  dissension,  quarreling.  It  all 
looked  sour  to  Ed  Wynn — this  venture 
which  had  already  swallowed  almost  all 
the  money  he  had  saved,  $250,000.  He  made 
his  decision.  One  morning  he  picked  up  his 
private  papers  and  walked  out.  He  was 
through. 

That  also  took  nerve.  He  turned  his 
back  and  forgot  it.  Forgot  the  dream  of 
a  lifetime,  forgot  the  opportunity  to  rank 
with  presidents  of  networks,  forgot  the 
$250,000.    There  are  a  great  many  people 


however  who  are  seeking  to  make 
remember.    Today  there  are  close  to 
suits  against  him  involving  claims  totali 
far  more  than  his  original  investment. 

Could  you  be  gay  with   one  laws 
hanging  over  you?    Think  then  of  the 
Chief,  who  succeeds  each  week,  not 
in  being  gay  himself,  but  in  infecting 
eral  million  listeners  with  his  own  j< 
His  one  thought,  since  the  Amalgamal 
fiasco,  has  been  to  rebuild  his  fortune 
that  he  has  done  cheerfully  until  the 
day. 

That  was  the  day  the  whispers  ab 
his  wife  culminated  in  a  suit  brought 
one  Samuel  Greenberg  and  his  wife,  ask 
$15,000  payment  for  services  rendered 
Wynn.  There  is  also  another  suit  ask 
compensation  for  injuries  alleged  to 
been  suffered  while  performing 
services. 

Ed  Wynn  asked  me  not  to  discuss 
personal  life.    I  am  deliberately  disobey 
this  request  because  in  making  it  he 
being  unjust  to  himself.    Only  the  stro 
white  light  of  public  discussion  will 
this  and  similar  attempts  to  discredit  ra 
artists  by  attacking  their  private  lives. 

As  a  matter  of  rockbound  truth, 
Wynn  doesn't  give  a  whoop,  person 
what  or  how  much  they  say  about 
Neither  does  he  crave  the  protection 
a  Chinese  Wall  of  silence  about  his 
who  is  an  independent  individual,  well 
to  take  care  of  herself. 

Mud  slinging  of  this  type  disturbs 
because  it  gets  printed  in  the  newspap 
and  his  mother  reads  them.  She's  a  brig 
old  lady,  who  knows  little  of  Broadv 
and  less  of  the  way  of  a  reporter  wit' 
story  that  happens  in  court.  In  a 
she  believes  what  she  reads  in  the  pap 
word  for  word,  and  an  unfriendly  rep 
about  her  son  and  his  wife  might  pr 
a  great  shock  to  her.

'HIS  the  comedian  sought  from  the  out- 
set to  prevent  by  requesting  the  court  to 

y  the  case  in  secret — and  if  not,  at  least 
excuse  him  from  giving  testimony.  Both 

quests  were  denied. 

The  complaint  of  the  Greenbergs  stated 
at   Mrs.   Greenberg  had   served  Hilda 

ynn  as  an  attendant.  She  was  engaged 
r  this  purpose  by  the  comedian  who  told 
em  to  spend  all  the  money  necessary 

keep  his  wife  in  a  state  of  contentment, 
[his,  the  complaint  said,  was  difficult 
•cause  Mrs.  Wynn  was  a  temperamental 
■rson,  and  who  in  certain  moods  attacked 
t  husband  and  her  eighteen-year-old  son. 
hey  complained  further  that  Mrs.  Wynn, 
[i  a  trip  to  Havana,  had  become  noisily 
>usive  and  once  had  struck  Mrs.  Green- 
■rg  hard  enough  to  cause  her  to  be  con- 
ned in  a  hospital. 

'  Wynn  described  the  complaint  as  "false 

every  particular."  In  his  plea,  request- 
f.g  the  court  to  excuse  him  as  a  witness, 
E  denied  all  the  charges — denied  them 
nphatically.  He  went  further.  He  charged 
lat  they  were  threatening  to  bare  the 

timate  details  of  his  private  life,  simply 
\>t  the  purpose  of  obtaining  payment  of 

debt  which  did  not  exist. 

Mark  you,  the  courage  of  this  man. 
here  are  almost  300  suits  pending  against 

m.  Their  total  value — if  and  when  col- 
tcted  is  only  a  little  less  than  $500,000. 
1  comparison  the  demand  of  the  Greeti- 
ngs, especially  with  its  threat  of  scandal, 

a  trifle. 

By  paying  all  or  part  of  what  they  ask, 
kd  Wynn  could  silence  them.  He  could 
alt  the  suit  in  ten  minutes — simply  by 
ticking  up  a  telephone.  He  could  also,  by 
Sis  act,  protect  his  mother.  But  if  he  did 
iiis,  he  would  be  craven,  a  coward,  false 
)  the  principle  of  courage  and  decency

anions,  the  stars  of  screen  and  stage  and 
,iicrophone  who  are  all  potential  victims 
f  this  kind  of  lawsuit. 
,  I  have  no  doubts  of  the  outcome.  Wynn, 
tie  undefeated,  is  protected  by  the  god  of 
ar  who  loves  courage,  and  the  god  of 
ttle  children  who  loves  clowns.

It  Pays  to  Take  Chances 


(Continued  from  page  46) 


accord  the  judges  proclaimed  him  the 
winner. 

His  family  was  so  proud  of  him,  they 
looked  up  friends  in  New  York  with 
whom  he  could  stay.  Of  course,  Freddy's 
razzberries  remained  undelivered. 

Thus,  the  first  time  he  tried  it  in  a  big 
way,  Meredith  found  it  paid  to  take 
chances.  Although  he  was  too  young  to 
realize  it  at  the  time,  he  was  really  laying 
the  foundation,  for  his  future  attitude  to- 
ward life. 

The  second  crisis  came  at  college. 

After  a  year  and  a  half  at  Amherst. 
Buzz  decided  to  quit.  But  he  needed 
money. 

Again  the  luck  that  smiles  on  the 
audacious  favored  him. 

The  college  announced  a  public  speaking 
contest  with  a  prize  of  $100  to  the  winner. 
That  $100  was  tempting.  The  trouble  was 
it  was  tempting  practically  every  student, 
so  what  chance  would  he  stand? 

But  in  the  singing  contest  Meredith  had 
learned  that  if  you  try,  you  may  lose,  but 
at  least  you  stood  a  chance  of  winning.  If 
you  don't  try,  well,  then  you're  licked  be- 
fore starting. 

The  contest  lasted  four  days,  at  the  end 
of  which  three  finalists  were  chosen.  Bur- 
gess was  one  of  them.  The  three  were 
asked  to  repeat  their  recitations.  Then 
the  judges  went  to  another  room. 

"That,"  according  to  Meredith,  "was 
the  longest  ten  minutes  of  suspense  I  ever 
lived  through.  Our  eyes  were  glued  to 
the  door.  At  last  it  opened  and  the 
chairman  of  the  judging  committee  came 
out.  Slowly  he  walked  up  to  the  plat- 
form, raised  his  hand  for  silence,  and  then 
announced  very  simply,  'The  winner  is 
Burgess  Meredith.'    Boy!  What  a  thrill!" 

Again  Buzz  collected  for  taking  a  chance. 

Crisis  No.  3.  It  was  the  biggest  in 
Meredith's  life,  so  full  of  danger  was  it, 
that  if  he  hadn't  given  the  right  answer 
at  the  proper  time  and  then  had  the 
audacity  to  work  his  way  out  of  that  peril- 
ous situation,  it  would  have  been  all  over 
with  him. 

Here's  how  it  happened.  After  leaving 
college,  Buzz  came  to  New  York.  He 
drifted  from  one  job  to  another.  None 
lasted  more  than  a  few  months.  His  funds 
ran  low.  Finally  they  ran  out  altogether. 
For  two  days  he  tramped  the  streets, 
hungry  and  homeless. 

Then  he  met  a  casual  acquaintance  who 
insisted  that  Buzz  accompany  him  home. 
He  stayed  a  week,  regaining  his  lost 
strength.  All  that  time  he  wondered  what 
his  host  did  for  a  living.  He  always  had 
plenty  of  money,  yet  was  vague  about  his 
job. 

But  he  soon  showed  his  hand.  He  was 
a  "fence"  for  a  gang  of  crooks,  disposing 
of  the  stolen  goods  for  them.  Now  that 
Buzz  was  stronger,  he  made  a  place  in 
the  gang  for  him. 

Meredith  was  on  the  spot.  What  could 
he  do?  He  realized  that  he  was  at  the 
crossroads  in  his  life  and  much  depended 
on  his  answer.  On  the  one  hand,  he  could 
make  a  lot  of  money.    Of  course,  there 


was  the  possibility  of  arrest  and  imprisoi 
ment.  That  wasn't  so  attractive.  B'# 
neither  was  starving  to  death.  And  th< 
might  not  even  let  him  do  that.  Gangste  1 
and  their  associates  generally  use  bulle 
to  answer  arguments. 

Meanwhile  the  "fence"  was  watchir 
him  closely,  waiting  for  his  answe 
"Say,  it's  nice  of  you  to  want  to  take  n 
in,"  replied  Meredith,  weighing  his  worn 
carefully,  "but  I'm  still  a  bit  weak.  '  Gi' 
me  a  few  more  days  to  get  set." 

Believing   that   he   had   consented,  tl< 
"fence"  let  matters  rest.     But  for  Bu: 
there   was   no   resting.     Not   until  he 
gotten  out  of  this  jam. 

He  left  the  house  for  a  stroll.  Whi 
he  walked,  he  kept  asking  himself  ov' 
and  over  again:  What  was  he  to  do? 

Unmindful  of  his  destination,  he  sudden 
found  himself  at  the  waterfront.  Tied  to 
dock  was  a  freighter.  With  a  sudd( 
determination,  he  went  aboard  in  sean 
of  the  captain.  So  earnestly  did  he  pie; 
for  a  job  that  he  was  signed  up  as 
ordinary  seaman.  That  night  they  sail«t 
for  South  America. 

Nerve  had  licked  the  third  crisis. 

Ordinarily,  there  would  be  little  conne 
tion  between  Buzz  as  an  ordinary  seam: 
and  Buzz  as  a  future  Broadway  sta 
Nevertheless,  it  was  on  this  trip  that  ti 
connection  was  made. 

One  night   Meredith  was  standing  1 
watch  on  the  bridge.     Thinking  himsc 
alone,  on  a  sudden  impulse  he  began 
recite  the  piece  that  won  him  the  $1C 
Half  way  through  he  was  joined  by  a  J 
other  voice,  that  of  the  third  mate. 

As   a   youth,   this  officer  had  been 
member  of  the  National  Theatre  in  Stoc 
holm,  Sweden.    Therefore  he  appreciate 
the    excellence   of    Meredith's  recitatic 
He  told  him  he  belonged  on  the  stag! 
and  for  the  rest  of  the  trip  he  gave  Bu 
many   lessons   in   stage  technique.  Tr 
was   the   first  time   Buzz   thought  of 
career  in  the  theatre. 

Back  in  New  York  again,  Obstacle  N 
4  loomed  on  the  horizon— how  to  get 
job  in  the  theatre? 

A  friend  gave  him  a  letter  of  introdu 
tion  to  Eva  LeGallienne  of  the  Civ 
Repertory  Theatre.  But  what's  a  lettl 
to  a  young  man  accustomed  to  gettii 
things  for  himself? 

Instead  of  presenting  the  letter,  he  p'i 
it  in  his  pocket  and  presented  himse 
to  the  actress  and  asked  for  admittam 
to  her  school  of  the  theatre.  Probably  i 
other  gesture  on  his  part  could  have  wc 
her  so  quickly  to  his  side.  She  imm 
diately  became  interested  in  him.  Aft< 
a  short  apprenticeship,  his  work  with  tl! 
student  group  was  so  good  that  Miss  I 
Gallienne  gave  him  a  contract  as  a  regul; 
member  of  her  company. 

By  his  own  initiative  he  achieved  hj 
fourth  goal. 

In  the  next  three  years  he  appeared 
a  number  of  plays.    His  biggest  hit  was 
the  role  of  a  college  boy  in  the  comet 
"She  Loves  Me  Not."    A  talent  sco

LOUISE  ROSS 


A  MAN'S  ADVICE 
TO  GIRLS 

Daring,  but  sincere —  taken  from  a  letter  to  Louise  Ross 

"This  is  pretty  frank — a  girl  is  a  dumb-bell  who  fails  to  beautify 
her  eyes.  A  girl  may  have  lovely  features  and  skin,  yet  have  dull, 
dreary  eyes,  with  no  life,  no  sparkle.  A  fellow  may  admire  her 
figure,  but  too  often  when  he  looks  into  her  eyes,  he  cools  off 
suddenly.  I  often  wonder  why  so  many  girls  are  still  asleep  at  the 
^switch — when  it's  so  easy  to  give  eyes  depth,  glamour  and  sparkle 
by  a  minute's  application  of  W'inx  Mascara.  Most  girls  use  every

"My  friend,  it's  unfortunate  that  too 
many  girls  think  their  eyes  are  lovely  and 
fool  themselves.  Smarter  ones  accent  their 
lashes  with  W'inx  Mascara  and  are  de- 
lighted at  the  lovely  effect  and  would 
never  give  it  up.  Fortunately,  more  and 
more  girls  are  glorifying  their  lashes 
with  W'inx — the  superfine  mascara,  so 
safe,  smudge-proof,  non-smarting." 

Now  a  word  to  girls — why  do  you  delay

Life  insurance  companies  tell  us 
that  the  gradual  breakdown  of  the 
human  body  causes  more  deaths 
every  year  than  disease  germs 

IF  your  physical  let-down  is  caused  by  a 
lowered  red-blood-cell  and  hemo-glo-bin 
content  in  the  blood — then  S.S.S.  is  waiting 
to  help  you  . . .  though,  if  you  suspect  an 
organic  trouble,  you  will,  of  course,  want 
to  consult  a  physician  or  surgeon. 

S.S.S.  is  not  just  a  so-called  tonic.  It  is 
a  tonic  specially  designed  to  stimulate  gas- 
tric secretions,  and  also  has  the  mineral 
elements  so  very,  very  necessary  in  rebuild- 
ing the  oxygen-carrying  hemo-glo-bin  of 
the  blood. 

This  two-fold  purpose  is  important.  Diges- 
tion is  improved  . .  .  food  is  better  utilized 
—  and  thus  you  are  enabled  to  better  "car- 
ry on"  without  exhaustion — as  you  should. 

You  should  feel  and  look  years  younger 
with  life  giving  and  purifying  blood  surg- 
ing througli  your  body.  You  owe  this  to 
yourself  and  friends. 

Make  S.S.S.  your  health  safeguard  and, 
unless  your  case  is  exceptional,  you  should 
soon  enjoy  again  the  satisfaction  of  appe- 
tizing food  . . .  sound  sleep  . . .  steady  nerves 
...  a  good  complexion  .  .  .  and  renewed 
strength. 

S.S.S.  is  sold  by  all  drug  stores  in  two 
convenient  sizes.  The  $2  economy  size  is 
twice  as  large  as  the  $1.25  regular  size  and 
is  sufficient  for  two  weeks  treatment.  Begin 
on  the  uproad  today. 

Do  not  be  blinded  by  the  efforts  of  a 
few  unethical  dealers  who  may  suggest 
that  you  gamble  with  substitutes.  You 
have  a  right  to  insist  that  S.S.S.  be  sup- 
plied you  on  request.  Its  long  years  of  pref- 
erence is  your  guarantee  of  satisfaction.

They  Aren't  Allowed  to  Live! 


(Continued 
But  on  the  day  of  their  scheduled  broad- 
cast, the  three  Pickens  Sisters  stood  be- 
fore the  mike  wah-de-dahing  as  only  they 
can.  It  didn't  matterthat  Patti  was  sud- 
denly transplanted  from  the  quiet,  shel- 
tered atmosphere  of  a  large  Georgia  plan- 
tation to  the  hustle  and  bustle  of  a  studio 
within  forty-eight  hectic  hours — it  didn't 
matter  that  bewildered  little  Patti  didn't 
really  want  to  leave  Georgia  and  all  of 
her  friends,  and  miss  her  first  prom.  No, 
all  that  didn't  matter.    The  trio  was  saved. 

No  one  was  the  wiser,  and  from  then  on 
Patti  was  an  established  member  of  the 
team.  They  were  riding  on  the  crest  of 
the  radio  wave,  when  another  incident, 
even  more  serious  than  the  first,  threatened. 

Jane  is  the  ringleader,  so  to  speak,  of  the 
girls.  It  is  she,  you  know,  who  arranges 
their  fantastic  harmonies.  It  was  she, 
more  than  the  other  girls,  who  was  really 
destined  to  be  a  singer.  But  the  opera 
and  concert  field  was  her  goal.  She  kept 
up  her  studies  with  big  professors  in  the 
hopes  that  some  day  she  would  be  able 
to  see  her  dreams  come  true.  Well,  it 
seemed  as  though  that  day  had  finally 
come.  A  famous  opera  impresario  heard 
her  clear,  thrilling  mezzo-soprano  voice, 
raved  over  it  and  urged  her  to  embark  on 
a  concert  tour  of  Europe  which  he  would 
arrange. 

Helen  and  Patti  were  so  happy  over 
Jane's  good  luck  they  couldn't  possibly  see 
the  danger  signal  ahead. 

There  was  the  business  of  reorganizing 
the  trio  once  more.  This  time  Grace  was 
called  in.  For  days  they  worked  without 
Jane,  just  to  get  used  to  this  new  combina- 
tion. Finally  they  called  her  in  to  pass 
judgment. 


from  page  39) 

They  had  hardly  gone  through  a  ft 
notes  when  Jane  bounced  out  of  her  sc; 
"Look,"  she  interrupted.    "That's  not  qui 

right.    Now  here  " 

The  girls  started  another  song,  and  t! 
same  thing  happened.    On  and  on  it  wei 
Inside  of  an  hour,  Jane  was  in  her  a 
customed  place,  between  Patti  and  Hele 
At  the  end  of  their  last  number,  as  si f 
suddenly  became  aware  of  her  positio 
the  truth  struck  home.    With  her  to  le; 
and  direct  as  of  old,  the  Pickens  Siste 
could  go  on.    Without  her,  never.  SI 
sat  down  to  think  it  over.    A  flood 
imaginary   scenes   swept  over  her.  SI 
could   see  herself  touring  the  Europe; 
sta^i--,  could  see  herself  surrounded  wW 
glory  as  prima  donna  in  some  belov( 
opera.  That  was  her  life,  yet.  .  .  . 

She  looked  at  Patti  and  Helen.  Wh. 
would  happen  to  them?  They  had  cnten 
upon  their  careers  with  such  high  hope 
and  now  it  was  up  to  her  to  decide  wheth' 
they  would  continue — or  fade.  That  se 
tied  it.  She  went  to  the  phone  and  diaK 
the  impresario's  number.  And  in  th 
short,  quiet  conversation  with  him  she  ga< 
him  her  answer.  It  was  an  answer  whk 
doomed  her  own  operatic  career — b' 
saved  the  career  of  the  Pickens  Sisters. 

They  had  passed  through  two  critic 
periods,  and  it  looked  as  though  no  otrn 
bugaboo  could  come  between  them.  B' 
they  figured  without  that  "ole  debt 
Love."  It  hit  Helen — and  indirectly  Jai 
and  Patti,  with  almost  alarming  results. 

The  girls  were  in  Hollywood  workir 
on  the  picture  "Sittin'  Pretty"  when  Hek 
met  Salvatore.  He  was  dashing,  ham

named  him,  hung  around  Helen  with  lover- 
like persistence,  and  Helen  did  nothing 
but  moon  and  sigh  over  him. 

\A/HEN  the  girls  were  ready  to  leave 
New  York  the  bombshell  burst.  "I'm 
not  going  back,"  Helen  announced. 

"But  we're  booked  for  that  new  air 
commercial,"  Jane  said,  puzzled,  "and  we've 
got  to  return." 

Then  the  news  came  out.  Helen  and 
Torie  were  going  to  be  married.  Torie's 
business  was  here  in  California.  Helen's 
place  was  by  his  side.  Patti,  looking 
back  at  her  lost  childhood,  and  Jane  look- 
ing back  at  the  ashes  of  her  thwarted  ca- 
reer, made  up  their  minds  that  the  trio 
wasn't  going  to  stand  in  the  way  of 
Helen's  happiness. 

But  their  thoughts  were  troubled  as 
they  rode  home.  What  could  they  do 
now?  The  Pickens  Sisters  had  become  a 
radio  institution  by  now.  Their  fans 
knew  Jane,  Patti  and  Helen.  Their  pic- 
tures were  plastered  in  fan  magazines, 
were  even  now  being  released  in  a  motion 
picture.  They  couldn't  substitute  another 
?irl  now  as  they  had  done  in  their  pioneer- 
ing days.  It  looked  as  though  it  were  really 
the  end. 

A  few  days  later,  Helen,  still  in  Cali- 
fornia, was  listening  to  her  radio.  She 
leard  an  announcer  say,  "The  program  of 
lie  Pickens  Sisters  scheduled  for  this  time 
will  not  be  heard."  To  Helen  those  words 
;ounded  like  a  death  chant. 

Two  days  later  she  was  in  New  York. 
'I  couldn't  go  through  with  it.  When  I 
discovered  that  it  would  break  up  the 
rio,  I  realized  how  selfishly  I  was  act- 

\  Acting  selfishly?  Just  because  she 
wanted  the  right  to  consummate  her  love 
n  marriage.  How  many  other  girls 
would  think  that  way?  But  Helen  had 
earned  by  now  that  she  had  no  right 

0  think  for  herself  like  the  average  girl. 

1  Fortunately  for  Helen,  her  story  ends 
happily.  Torie  dashed  to  New  York  to 
loin  her.  In  one  of  the  quickest  weddings 
pn  record,  he  and  Helen  were  married  in 
ft  Park  Avenue  church  the  day  after  he 
reached  the  city.  He  has  started  a  new 
business  here  in  New  York — but  I  wonder 
What  chance  at  happiness  Helen  would 
pave  had  if  Torie  weren't  the  sentimental, 
mpetuous  Latin  that  he  is. 

However,  this  doesn't  settle  their  prob- 
em  by  any  means.  For  instance,  what  if 
rlelen  should  want  a  baby?  Any  other 
inger  or  actress  would  just  take  time  out 
or  the  event  and  kiss  her  career  adieu 
or  a  while.  I  think  that's  what  Helen 
vould  like  to  do.  After  all,  Torie  has 
nough  money  to  support  her.  What  she 
vould  like  to  do  is  settle  down  and  raise 
i  family,  keep  a  home  for  him,  travel 
vith  him  to  Italy,  meet  his  family.  What 
•ride  wouldn't?  But  Helen  knows  that  if 
he  were  to  satisfy  her  natural  desires, 
t  would  be  Patti  and  Jane  who  would 
uffer.  This  may  be  their  next  problem. 
[Vill  they  be  able  to  hurdle  it  as  they 
pave  the  others? 

|  And  so  it  goes.  That's  why  I  said  at 
he  beginning  that  not  one  of  the  three 
'iris  dares  live  or  think  for  herself.  You 
;now  why  now.

And  the  chances  are  that  it  is  constipation. 

90%  of  all  children  affected 

Even  though  your  child  is  "regular,"  his  elim- 
ination may  not  be  thorough.  90%  of  all  chil- 
dren, doctors  have  found,  are  affected  by 
constipation.  Your  safest  course,  when  a  young- 
ster becomes  dull  and  droopy  or  irritable  and 
rebellious,  is  to  give  a  laxative. 

But — give  a  child's  laxative.  Give  Fletcher's 
Castoria!  It  will  never  cause  painful  cramps 
nor  act  so  severely  that  the  system's  normal 
regularity  is  upset. 

Made  especially  for  children 

Fletcher's  Castoria  is  made  especially  for  chil- 
dren. Ask  your  doctor  about  it.  He  will  tell  you 
it  contains  no  harsh  purgatives,  no  narcotics — 
only  ingredients  suitable  for  a  child's  growing 


body.  And  children  like  its  pleasant  taste. 

Keep  a  bottle  of  Fletcher's  Castoria  always 
in  the  house  .  .  .  from  the  time  your  oldest 
child  is  born  until  the  youngest  is  1 1  years  old. 
Give  it  for  constipation,  and  as  the  fir-.t  treat- 
ment for  colds.  The  family-size  bottle  is 
most  economical.  The  name  Chas.  H.

Meet  Vic  and  Sade 


(Continued  from  page  43) 


State 


Sade"  is  the  saga  of  the  Victor  Gook 
family  who  live  simply  in  a  small  mid- 
western  city.  Victor,  the  head  of  the 
household,  is  an  accountant ;  Sade  is  his 
wife,  and  Rush  Meadows,  their  adopted 
son.  A  score  or  more  other  characters 
enter  the  sketch  from  time  to  time,  but 
none  ever  utters  a  word.  Vic,  played  by 
Art  Van  Harvey ;  Sade,  by  Bernardine 
Flynn,  and  Rush  by  Billy  Idelson,  portray 
all  speaking  characters.  None  of  them 
doubles  in  parts  and  they  all  appear  every 
day. 

"Mr.  Albert  Johnson,"  Rush's  weird 
dog,  who  suffers  from  astigmatism,  is 
heard  now  and  then  when  he  "wushes" 
with  Rush  as  the  wushcr.  He's  a  peculiar 
dog  and  can't  bark.  The  two  often  feel 
persecuted  but  the  back  yard  and  base- 
ment yield  them  a  rich  and  interesting  life. 

Then  there's  his  chum,  Freeman  Scuder, 
but  he's  a  mute  and  his  conversation  is 
interpreted  by  Rush.  Mrs.  Fisher  is  the 
gossipy  lady  next  door.  Small  boys  know 
better  than  to  play  in  her  yard  or  disturb 
her  belongings. 

Sydney  Call  is  Rush's  little  girl  friend 
across  the  street.  Bulldog  Drummond  his 
arch  enemy.  Gus  Plink,  the  town  drunk- 
ard, is  occasionally  seen  weaving  down 
the  alley.  Mr.  Gumpox  is  the  ash  man 
and  Miss  Bucksaddle,  a  pretty  divorcee, 
lives  across  the  way.  These  and  other 
neighbors  are  shouted  to  across  the  street 
or  called  on  the  telephone.  And  it's  a 
tribute  to  the  skillful  writing  of  Paul 
Rhymer  that  all  of  them  live  as  vividly 
in  the  minds  of  listeners  as  Vic  and  Sade 
and  Rush. 

Paul  Rhymer  has  a  phenomenal  insight 
into  human  nature.  He  records  the  ex- 
periences of  day  to  day  living  with  the 
utmost  accuracy  and  fidelity.  But  he  is 
much  more  than  a  reporter — he  interprets 
these  experiences  with  feeling  and  under- 
standing. Still  under  thirty,  he  is  newly 
married — his  home-town  sweetheart  from 
Bloomington,  Illinois,  is  his  wife.  He  was 
raised  in  Bloomington,  a  city  somewhat 
bigger  than  the  one  in  which  Vic  and 
Sade  live.  There  he  attended  school  for 
fourteen  years  at  the  end  of  which  time 
he  found  himself  a  junior  at  Illinois  Wes- 
leyan  University.  While  there  he  broke 
the  inter-collegiate  dating  record — four  in 
one  day.  He's  a  Sigma  Chi,  you  see.  On 
leaving  the  campus  he  drove  cabs  in 
Chicago,  sold  magazines  in  Cicero,  and 
was  a  signal  maintainer's  helper  on  the 
Chicago  and  Alton  railroad. 

"Four  years  ago  I  was  pulled  into 
radio,"  he  recalled,  "and  since  then  I  have 
learned  to  write  continuity,  I  hope." 

One  day  Rhymer  was  assigned  to  draft 
a  sketch  of  family  life  for  a  potential 
sponsor.  The  prospect  didn't  bite  but  his 
bosses  liked  the  production  so  much 
that  they  put  it  on  the  air  anyway  and  it's 
been  there  ever  since,  more  than  two 
years.  Rhymer  is  no  guy  to  burn  the 
candle  at  both  ends.  He  plays  handball 
in  the  evening.  Gets  to  bed  early  and  is 
up  with  the  sun,  often  turning  out  his 
daily  stint  before  having  breakfast. 


There's  no  better  introduction  to 
Rhymer's  characters  than  his  own  con- 
ception of  them : 

"Victor  Rodney  Gook,"  he  explains,  "is 
the  chief  accountant  of  the  bookkeeping 
department  of  the  Consolidated  Kitchen- 
ware  Company,  Plant  Number  Fourteen. 
He's  held  this  job  for  about  ten  years 
and  his  salary  is  thirty-nine  dollars  a' 
week.  The  chances  are  he'll  never  be 
anything  more  than  he  is  now.  His  thirty- 
seven  years  of  life  have  solidified  and 
tempered  him;  he's  content  with  his  little 
wife,  his  little  boy,  his  little  home,  and 
the  little  rivulet  of  life  that  flows  along 
Virginia  Avenue. 

"Something  of  a  braggart  at  home,  he 
is  the  quietest  of  citizens  at  work  and 
among  his  men  friends.  A  good  and  loyal 
worker,  he  is  respected  and  well-liked  at 
the  place  he  works.  For  his  wife  he  has 
a  deep  and  enduring  affection,  together 
with  a  vast  admiration,  which  he  would 
just  as  soon  she  didn't  know  about.  Apt 
to  be  short  and  even  surly  with  her  on 
occasion,  yet  he  can  always  be  depended 
upon  for  sympathy  and  understanding 
when  it  is  desired  or  required .  Equipped 
with  a  brisk  sense  of  humor  and  an  eye 
for  the  ridiculous,  he  manages  to  have 
just  about  as  much  fun  as  the  next  guy." 

Well,  you  know  plenty  of  men  like  that. 
Fact  is  he's  pretty  close  to  the  average 
man — and  there's  probably  a  little  of  you 
and  me  in  him.  And  Sade,  she's  just 
about  the  perfect  match  for  him. 

"Sade,"  Rhymer  confides,  "has  reached 
that  point  in  life  where  she's  beginning  to 
realize,  with  some  surprise,  and  emotions 
she  herself  cannot  understand,  that  she's 
no  longer  a  girl.  Although  in  the  dark 
about  most  things  that  go  on  in  the  world, 
in  her  own  kitchen  she's  as  deft,  wise, 
and  capable  as  any  human  being  could  be. 
A  gossip,  on  a  small  and  innocuous  scale,  ■> 
she  enjoys  talking  about  other  people,  or  j 
about  anything  for  that  matter,  whether 
she  understands  the  subject  or  not. 

"Apt  to  cry  at  movie  shows,  apt  to  eat  i 
too  much  rich  food,  apt  to  say  things  she 
doesn't  mean,  still  she  has  herself  pretty 
well  in  hand,  and  stacks  up  as  a  good  all- 
around  human  being.  She  has  acute 
perceptions  on  her  own  little  field,  and 
can  fry  a  steak,  get  up  a  dinner  for  eight, 
or  read  her  husband's  mind  like  a  book, 
all  with  equal  dexterity.  With  a  heart 
as  big  as  a  tub — chock  full  of  love — she's 
the  moving  spirit  and  the  guiding  light 
of  the  happiest  family  in  ten  square 
blocks." 

Sade  was  inspired  by  Paul's  mother. 
And  Rush  is  Mrs.  Rhymer's  boy,  Paul, 
I  am  sure,  with  half  his  life  rolled  back. 

In  the  beginning  there  were  only  two 
characters,  Vic  and  Sade.  They  might 
have  had  a  baby  if  Rhymer  hadn't  needed 
another  character  immediately  for  flex- 
ibility. So  he  had  them  adopt  Rush 
Meadows. 

"Rush  is  going  on  thirteen,"  the  author 
explains.  "He  is  doing  fairly  well  inj 
school,  has  a  bicycle,  new  shoes  that  hurt,) 
a  tooth  out  in  front,  a  neck  tinged  more

icinity  of  third  base  in  Seymour's  lot." 

"He's  just  exactly  like  my  own  boy," 
lousands  of  mothers  insist  in  their  letters. 

Billy  Idelson,  who  plays  the  part,  is 
ush  come  to  life. 

He  also  is  thirteen  years  old  and  attends 
roviso  High  School  in  May  wood,  a 
hicago  suburb.  He  has  never  had  a  bit 
t  training  as  an  actor  and  got  into  radio 
1  a  fluke.  His  sister,  a  teacher  at  a 
-amatic  school,  was  asked  to  dig  up  100 
mngsters  for  a  radio  audition  one  day. 
illy  pestered  her  until  she  let  him  go 
,ong.    He  got  the  job.    Hasn't  a  trace 

i  the  child  actor  complex.     He's  what 
ju  just  naturally  call  a  swell  kid. 
Bernardine  Flynn  fits  well  into  the  role 

|  Sade.  She's  a  half  dozen  years  out  of 
»e  University  of  Wisconsin  where  she 
:arred  in  undergraduate  dramatics.  Zona 
)ale  sent  her  from  Madison  to  Broadway, 
here  she  played  several  seasons.  Broad- 
ay  helped  bring  her  to  radio.   She's -been 

ii  the  air  for  four  years  now  and  has 

•  ayed  in  many  network  shows.  She  is 
>ung  and  good  looking,  has  dark  brown 
lir  and  medium  complexion.  She  loves 
dio,  but  she's  usually  late  to  rehearsal, 
ecently  she  became  the  wife  of  Dr.  C.  C. 
oherty,  a  well  known  Chicago  obstetri- 

Art  Van  Harvey  considers  it  a  singular 
ibute  that  his  friends  regularly  address 
jm  as  Vic,  because  of  his  convincing 
>rtrayal  of  Mr.  Gook.  Art  is  in  his 
.fties.  He  has  been  in  advertising,  the 
okerage  business  and  in  vaudeville.  This 

his  first  big  radio  part.  In  the  studios 
:'s  known  as  an  "eight  threat"  man  be- 
,.use  he  can  do  that  many  dialects 
:pertly.  His  mother  was  Irish,  his  father 
utch  and  he  was  brought  up  in  the 
letto,  so  he  had  a  pretty  fair  start  in 
nguages  as  a  youngster.    He  does  a  lot 

impersonations  and  his  portrayal  of  Ed 
rynn  is  as  good  as  the  Fire  Chief  can 
i  himself. 

Young  Harvey  has  a  warm  personal 
eling  towards  everyone  he  meets.  He 
joys  letters  and  reads  all  of  the  Vic 
id  Sade  mail — which  is  almost  a  super- 
iman  job. 

These  days  he  is  chuckling  over  thou- 
nds  of  letters  congratulating  Vic  and 
ide  on  getting  a  sponsor.  That's  unusual, 
ost  radio  listeners  would  rather  have 
eir  favorite  programs  without  advertis- 
?  blurbs,  but  not  Vic  and  Sade's.  Per- 
ps  that  is  because,  as  a  sustaining 
ogram,  it  was  kicked  around  on  the  time 
hedules  and  the  audience  had  a  tough 
ne  following  it.  Any  change  in  time  has 
ways  brought  a  terrific  storm  of  protest, 
ice  when  they  were  taken  off  the  net- 
>rk,  because  a  local  advertiser  bought 
e  show,  more  than  30,000  irate  listeners 
•vied  about  it. 

That  sponsorship  by  an  oleomargarine 
ncern  was  unfortunate.  At  the  time 
tter  prices  were  low.  Oleo  seeks  a  price 
■  el  about  half  that  of  butter.  Butter 
oppcd  to  eighteen  cents  a  pound  forcing 
e  substitute  to  go  to  nine  cents  just  when 

•  c  and  Sade  were  beginning  "to  pull." 
ery  pound,  sold  at  that  price,  lost  the 
iker  more  than  a  cent.  They  almost 
nkrupted  him  before  he  called  a  halt 
d  had  them  taken  off  the  air.  They 
•re  sold  a  little  later  to  a  concern 
aranteeing  weight  building.

"Everybody  wanted  to  lose  weight  about 
then,"  Art  Van  Harvey  recalled  ruefully. 
"I  don't  think  there  was  one  person  in 
five  thousand  who  wanted  to  put  on 
pounds."  So  they  went  back  on  a  sus- 
taining basis  for  another  year. 

Down  in  Pasadena  a  woman's  club 
offered  to  start  an  endowment  for  Vic 
and  Sadc  lest  it  might  be  taken  off  the 
air.  Well,  that  wasn't  necessary.  A  spon- 
sor came  along,  as  you  know. 

Many  a  sponsor  had  shied  from  "Vic 
and  Sade"  because,  unlike  most  dramatic 
programs,  it  is  not,  strictly  speaking,  a 
serial.  Each  day's  program  is  a  complete 
story  and  so  it  doesn't  matter  if  you 
missed  the  previous  day's  episode.  A  def- 
inite advantage,  it  seems  to  us,  since 
there  are  lots  of  listeners  who  are  bound 
to  miss  occasionally. 


The  utter  naturalness  in  "Vic  and  Sade' 
are  so  much  more  effective  than  tlv 
artificial  suspense  built  up  in  so  man; 
continued  radio  dramas.  Every  broadcas 
has  a  unity  and  completeness  and  satisfac 
tion  that  episodes  in  continuous  yarn 
never  achieve.  Innumerable  listeners  writ 
praising  a  particular  story  and  ask  tha 
it  be  repeated.    And  sometimes  it  is. 


Vic  and  Sade  can  be  heard  every  da 
except  Saturday  and  Sunday  at  1  :30  p.  rr

He  Saves  Wives  for  a  Living 


{Continued  from  page  8) 


recently  he  received  hundreds  of  letters 
giving  him  old  fashioned  remedies.  One 
woman  told  him  to  stop  his  broadcasting 
until  he  was  well — told  it  to  him  emotion- 
ally as  a  mother  to  a  son. 

The  girls  think  it  funny  being  handed 
advice  by  a  man.  Good  advice  too.  Here 
are  a  few  more  samples  of  his  chit-chat, 
before  we  plunge  into  the  story  of  the  life 
and  times  of  Allen  Prescott,  Wife  Saver 
extraordinary : 

"Didja  know  that  pleats  hang  better  on 
a  mature  figure  when  they  are  spaced 
further  apart  and  are  a  little  wider  at  the 
bottom  than  at  the  top?  (Wise  man,  he 
knows  most  of  his  auditors  have  mature 
figures.)  Furthermore,  they  look  better 
if  the  side  seams  have  been  cut  with  a 
slight  flare.  Now,  I  don't  know  what  I  am 
talking  about,  but  my  information  comes 
from  the  right  place,  and  if  you  don't  be- 
lieve me,  go  hang  yourself  a  pleat  and  see 
if  I'm  not  right. 

"Didja  know  that  it's  a  good  idea  to  keep 
a  large  cork  in  the  workbag?  Oh,  no, 
not  what  you  think  at  all.  The  large  cork 
is  kept  in  the  basket  so  that  you  can  put 
the  points  of  the  scissors  or  stilettoes  or 
crochet  needles  or  any  other  pointed  in- 
strument therein,  protecting  them  from 
piercing  the  bag  or  perhaps  piercing  you 
in  the  interim  or  the  hand  for  that  matter. 

"Didja  know,  girls,  that  you  should  wet 
the  knife  in  cold  water  before  cutting  a 
meringue  pie?  In  this  way  you  prevent 
the  meringue  from  sticking  or  peeling  off. 

"Didja  knoiv — well,  no,  of  course,  you 
couldn't  —  that  a  rubber  band  attached 
to  the  fourth  button  on  your  husband's 
shirt  and  the  top  button  of  the  front  of 
his  trousers  will  keep  his  collar  from 
riding  his  Adam's  apple?  Well,  it  will, 
and  all  the  better  for  you  to  see  the  light 
in  his  eyes,  without  being  confused  by  a 
fluttering  knot  in  his  necktie." 

VA/ELL,  here's  the  story.  Two  years 
ago,  before  Allen  Prescott  jumped  into 
the  air  waves  and  became  a  Wife  Saver, 
he  was  a  very  upset  young  fellow.  He 
had  failed  at  everything  he  put  his  hand 
to,  no  exceptions. 


He  started  out  by  being  born  in  S1 
Louis,  but  the  remainder  of  his  life  wa 
spent  in  New  York.  From  military  schoc 
he  went  to  the  University  of  Pennsylvani; 
There  his  failures  began.  He  folded  u> 
as  a  college  student  in  his  third  year.  H 
was  bright  enough  and  a  good  enoug 
worker  but  he  would  use  neither  hi: 
brightness  nor  his  diligence  for  his  clas 
work. 

Out  of  college  on  his  ear,  he  heard  th 
strains  of  an  orchestra  rehearsing  for 
stock  company  show  due  to  open  shorth 
He  walked  in,  got  a  job.  Six  weeks  late 
he  was  through.  The  story  goes  that  h 
was  acting  a  part  when  a  silence  fell  o 
the  stage.  The  prompter  practicall 
shrieked  the  words  of  the  next  speech  z 
him.  Finally,  Prescott  said :  "All  righ 
I  hear  you — but  whose  speech  is  it?" 

So  it  came  to  pass  that  Allen  Prescol 
was  through  again.     He  came  to  Ne\ 
York,  got  jobs  here,  got  jobs  there,  bv 
the  man  who  got  them  was  neither  her  | 
nor  there — and  he  always  got  fired. 

The  next  scene  of  our  little  operett; 
as  Ed  Wynn  might  say,  is  in  the  city  roor 
of  the  Daily  Mirror,  sometimes  referre 
to  as  a  newspaper.  One  of  the  reporter, 
is  none  other  than  Prescott.  He  has  bee 
trying  his  best  to  make  good  on  this  jol 
It  is  a  job  with  glamor,  excitement,  op 
portunity.  But  hark — the  city  editor' 
voice!  He  hails  Prescott  before  him  an 
tells  him  that  he  is  a  nice  kid,  but,  not  b. 
any  stretch  of  the  imagination,  a  news 
paper  man.     Prescott  was  fired  again. 

He  just  sat  there  and  looked  at  the  cit 
editor.  And  the  city  editor,  looking  i 
him,  saw  an  extremely  unhappy  youngste: 
The  city  editor  melted.  (Didja  know  ihi 
city  editors  can  melt?)  He  said  to  his  ex 
reporter,  "You're  a  clever  writer,  you'v 
got  a  good  voice — why  don't  you  try  to  g( 
a  job  on  our  radio  program?  Here,  I' 
give  you  a  note." 

The  note  did  the  trick,  Prescott  wer 
on  the  air  over  Station  WINS  which  is 
local  station  in  New  York,  first  as  a  new, 
commentator,  later  as  a  master  of  certj 
monies.  One  day  he  was  told  to  take  ove 
the  household  hints  department.    He  die

ie  clicked ;  the  networks  wanted  him.  But 
'ailure,  the  villain,  pursued  him.  His  first 
luditicm  before  a  sponsor  was  a  failure. 
3ut  at  length,  almost  two  years  ago, 
ie  found  one  and  started  the  Wife 
Saver  series.  The  rest  is  history.  He 
s  a  moderately  good  looking,  chestnut 
laired  man,  five  feet  six,  reasonably  plump, 
in  interesting  person.  But  the  real  color 
hat  is  in  him  comes  out  when  he  speaks, 
fis  words  are  the  thing. 

Let  me  quote  some  more : 

"Didja  knmv  that  in  the  case  of  a 
racked  egg,  you  can  ease  out  of  a  very 
lelicate  situation  by  rubbing  the  crack 
vith  butter  before  boiling  it?  Did  you? 
Veil,  you  can. 

"Didja  know  that  when  you  happen  to

an  be  made  tender  by  adding  a  teaspoon- 
ul  of  lemon  juice  to  the  water  in  which 
t  is  to  be  cooked? 

"Didja  ever  have  trouble  cooling  a

he  least,  unfair  to  feed  your  husband  hot 
ie.  It  is  still  unfairer  to  throw  it  at  him. 
io,  the  pie  cooling  problem  is  really  one 
Jhat  touches  you  in  every  day  life.  Aunt 
larriet  says  to  cool  a  pie  as  soon  as  it 
■  >mes  from  the  oven,  place  it  on  the  col- 
nder  so  the  air  can  circulate  under  it 
nd  it  will  cool  very  quickly. 

Y  Aunt  Harriet,  a  fisherman's  daugh- 
ter at  heart,  also  cautions  me  to  tell 
ou  that  the  body  of  a  fish  should  be 
rtn.    When  you  give  it  a  pinch  with  an

nger  print,  besides  being  a  beast  at  heart, 
.ill  in  turn  leave  a  lasting  impression  on 
tour  stomach  when  taken  internally. 
"Didja  knoii.'  that  if  you  have  been  peel-

ie  seam  up  the  middle? 

"Didja  know  that  an  old  toothbrush 
andle  is  a  fine  thing  for  opening  up  or 
inning  a  cord  through  a  starched  hem?" 

He  has  a  million  didja  knows.  And  the 
ian  can't  toast  bread.  He's  the  most  help- 
[ss  male  imaginable.  Yet,  what  he  gives 
iu  on  the  air  is  practicable,  workable.  His 
Ivice  covers  every  phase  of  a  wife's  life, 
hat's  why  he  calls  himself  the  Wife  Saver. 

When  he  first  was  ordered  on  the  air 
i,  give  household  hints,  he  ran  pell-mell 
i  a  woman's  magazine,  dropped  on  his 
lees  and  begged  the  editor  to  help  him. 
!he  did  and  he  got  away  with  the  first 
roadcast. 

'  Then  be  began  digging  in  the  files  of 
t;wspapers,  reading  books,  hundreds  of 
hem,  in  two  or  three  languages.  He 
Iked  to  old  ladies  who  knew.  He  went 
food  manufacturers  who,  because  they 
anted  to  create  a  market  for  their  prod- 
fcts,  had  investigated  all  possible  uses  for 
'em. 

After  he  had  been  on  the  air  for  some 

jme  his  listeners  began  to  help.  They 
ould  write  in  to  ask  a  question  and  in  a 

I  S.  pay  him  for  his  answer  with  a 
dja  know  of  their  own.  These  volun- 
ry  didja  knows  have  become  so  volumin- 
is  that  they  make  up  sixty  per  cent  of  his 
ogram.  Asked  by  listeners  for  candy 
cipes,  he  appealed  to  his  audience  and 
ithin  a  fortnight  he  had  several  hundred. 

'is  assistant,  who  is  never  heard  on  the 
r — Mary  Louise  MacKnight — helps  lots 

[  doing  all  the  research  and  testing  for 
m. 

And  didja  know  that  Aunt  Harriet  who 
constantly  being  referred  to  by  the  Wife 
aver  doesn't  exist?  There  is  no  such 
:nt.  It's  just  a  funny  name  to  him.  al- 
ough  he  had  a  grandmother  named  Har- 


A11  the  other

folks  on  his  program  are 
Irving  Miller,  the  pianist, 
the  tenor,  and  Allen  Kent, 
All  of  them,  married  or 
Prescott's  jokes  and  take 
the  scripts  to  help  their 
sisters,  as  the  case  may 


They're  a  happy  family  and  never 
»arrel  but  if  they  did  Wife  Saver  has 
remedy  as  to  wit: 

'On  turning  to  sweet  oil  for  a  moment, 
you  don't  mind,  I  have  another  note 
lich  says  that  if  you  will  apply  a  bit 
sweet  oil  to  a  bruise  it  will  keep  it 
'im  turning  black  and  blue,  and  what 
,th  all  the  perils  of  the  household  one 
K  to  face,  that  is  really  something  to 
;ow."

Allen  Prescott  can  be  heard  each  Tues-

Is  she 

her 

marriage 

? 


HAS  she  been  unreasonable,  after 
all?  Has  she  tried  "controlling" 
instead  of  "understanding?"  Has  she 
allowed  fear  and  squeamishness  to  get 
the  upper  hand? 

What  a  terrible  thing  it  is,  really,  to 
be  old-fashioned!  What  a  tragedy  it 
can  be  to  watch  happiness  slip  away 
because  one's  head  is  filled  with  out-of- 
date  information!  Yet  many  young 
wives  find  themselves  in  just  this  posi- 
tion when  they  face  the  problem  of 
feminine  hygiene. 

Why  go  on  behaving  like 
your  grandmother  ? 

You  don't  need  to  use  (and  fear)  poi- 
sonous antiseptics  just  because  an  older 
generation  used  them  —  and  feared 
them.  Forget  all  about  the  burning 
poisonous  compounds  associated  with 
feminine  hygiene  in  those  days.  That 
was  before  the  discovery  of  Zonite. 

Zonite  is  the  Great  War  antiseptic 
and  germicide,  and  your  doctor  will 
verify  its  claims  to  safety  as  well  as 
strength.  In  measuring  the  strength  of 
antiseptics  it  is  customary  to  compare 
them  with  carbolic  acid,  a  very  power- 
ful but  poisonous  germ-killing  agent. 
Zonite  is  actually  more  powerful  than 
any  dilution  of  carbolic  acid  that  can 
be  allowed  to  touch  human  tissues! 

Zonite  has  been  welcomed  by  women 
all  over  America.  One  has  told  another 
until  Zonite  can  now  be  bought  even  in 
tiny  villages  and  country  stores  all 
over  North  America,  as  well  as  in  for- 
eign countries. 

Zonite  will  not  desensitize  mem- 
branes or  tissues.  It  cannot  cause  acci- 


dental poisoning.  Zonite  is  safe.  De- 
pend upon  that! 

Tell  your  friends  about  Zonite 
— send  for  booklet 

Besides  the  liquid  Zonite  (in  bottles, 
30^,  60<S  $1.00),  you  can  buy  Zonite 
Suppositories,  at  $1.00  for  a  box  of  12, 
each  one  sealed  in  glass  vial.  Also,  you 
can  get  the  real  truth  about  feminine 
matters  in  booklet  of  unvarnished

these  subjects  that  are  vital  to  your  dog's  welfare? 
Then  write  for  your  free  copy  of  "Sergeant's  Dog

— Important  Information  for  Dog  Owners — 

At  this  time  of  the  year  carefully  watch  your 
dog.  If  he  has  fever,  coughs,  is  listless,  has  no 
appetite,  and  eyes  are  dull  and  watery,  you 
should  treat  these  symptoms  at  once.  Give  Ser- 
geant's Special  Medicine  to  reduce  the  fever 
and  Sergeant's  Condition  Pills  as  a  tonic.  If 
help  or  information  is  desired,  write  our  veteri- 
narian, giving  all  symptoms,  and  the  age,  breed 
and  sex  of  your  dog.  There  is  no  charge  for 
this  service.

:  "business  trips."  Needless  to  say,  he 
»es  not  subscribe  to  the  opinion  that  the 
>lio  is  a  great  invention. 
Milwaukee's  District  Court  has  taken 
the  air !  Throughout  Wisconsin  and 
rounding  states,  countless  thousands  of 
teners  have  enjoyed  one  of  the  most 
usual  programs  on  the  ether  waves — 

1  actual  court  broadcasts. 

t\  voice  booms  through  the  loud- 
:aker.    It  is  the  clerk  of  court.  "City 

Milwaukee  versus  John  Jones." 
Another    voice.      This    time    it's  the 
Ige.    "Swear  in  the  defendant." 
Again  the  clerk  of  court.    "Do  you  sol- 
iinly  swear  that  the  testimony  you  are 
out  to  give  is  the  truth,  the  whole  truth 
(1  nothing  but  the  truth,  so  .  .  ." 
This  is  the  real  thing !    And  the  lis- 
lers  know  it.    Not  just  another  court 
om  drama  put  on  by  a  group  of  studio 
lyers,   but   an   authentic   broadcast  of 
:  happenings  in  the  police  court  of  a 
,'tropolitan  city.    There  are  not  any  ac- 
ts on  this  program.    The  judge  is  real, 

2  policemen,  attorneys  and  court  at- 
:hes  are  real  .  .  .  and  if  the  defendant 
found  guilty,  he  really  "takes  the  rap," 

foolin'  about  that ! 
.Started  two  years  ago  as  an  experi- 
'■nt,  these  court  room  broadcasts 
hieved  a  tremendous  following.  In 
:t,  the  Milwaukee  Safety  Commission, 
)nsor  of  the  program,  received  almost 

much  fan  mail  as  the  participants  in 
v  other  popular  program  broadcast 
ier  WTMJ,  Milwaukee. 
The  novel  idea  first  came  up  at  a  meet- 
f  of  the  Safety  Commission.  The  num- 
r  of  automobile  accidents  in  Milwau- 
|e  was  greatly  increasing.  Many  of 
be  accidents  could  be  attributed  di- 
,:tly  to  the  fact  that  the  drivers  had 
•lated  some  traffic  law  or  ordinance. 
"If  we  could  only  educate  the  public, 

that  it  would  know  and  obey  at  least 
p  fundamental  traffic  laws,"  said  one  of 
e  Commission  members,  "our  accident 
ts  would  automatically  diminish." 
How  to  do  it?  That  was  the  problem, 
'her  means  had  been  tried.  Billboards, 
wspaper  advertisements,  driving  schools. 
1  of  them  had  failed.  As  the  Commis- 
ui  pondered  over  its  weighty  perplexity, 
cldenly  an  inspired  expression  appeared 

the  countenance  of  Dr.  B.  L.  Corbett, 
ecutive  secretary  of  the  group. 
"I  think  I've  got  the  answer,"  he  said. 
Vhy  not  broadcast  the  cases  of  people 
jio've  been  arrested  for  traffic  viola- 
>ns?    Thousands  of  people  would  listen 

such  broadcasts  because  of  their  un- 
Jal  nature.  These  thousands  will  then 
irn  what  the  various  traffic  ordinances 
e.  And,  incidentally."  he  added,  "they'll 
irn  what  happens  when  these  laws  are 
^obeyed." 

The  idea  sounded  very  good  at  the  time,

NEED 


A  BLONDE  FADE  EARLY? 


People  say  that  blondes  have  a  brilliant  morn- 
ing, but  a  short  afternoon.  In  other  words,  that 
blondes  fade  early! 

This,  however,  is  a  myth.  Many  blondes  sim- 
ply look  older  than  their  years  because  they 
use  the  wrong  shade  of  face  powder. 

You  should  never  choose  a  face  powder 
shade  just  because  you  are  a  blonde  or  bru- 
nette. You  should  never  try  to  match  the  color 
of  your  hair  or  the  particular  tone  of  your  skin. 
A  blonde  may  have  a  dark  skin  while  a  brunette 
may  have  quite  a  light  skin  and  vice  versa. 

A  face  powder  shade  should  be  chosen,  not 
to  match  your  hair  or  coloring,  but  to  flatter 
your  whole  appearance. 

To  Find  the  Shade  that  Flatters 

There  is  only  one  way  to  find  the  shade  of  face 
powder  that  is  most  becoming  to  you,  and  that 
is  to  try  all  five  basic  shades. 

Lady  Esther  Face  Powder  is  made  in  the 
required  five  basic  shades.  One  of  these  shades 
you  will  find  to  be  the  most  flattering  to 
you!  One  will  instantly  set  you  forth  at  • 
your  best,  emphasize  your  every  good  : 
point  and  make  you  look  your  most  • 
youthful  and  freshest. 

But  I  don't  ask  you  to  accept  my  word  : 
for  this.  I  say:  Prove  it  at  my  expense.  So  | 


I  offer  to  send  you,  entirely  without  cost  or 
obligation,  a  liberal  supply  of  all  five  shades 
of  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder. 

When  you  get  the  five  shades,  try  each  one 
before  your  mirror.  Don't  try  to  pick  your  shade 
in  advance.  Try  all  five!  Just  the  one  you 
would  least  suspect  may  prove  the  most  flat- 
tering for  you.  Thousands  of  women  have 
written  to  tell  me  they  have  been  amazed  with 
this  test. 

Stays  on  for  Four  Hours 
—  and  Stays  Fresh! 

When  you  make  the  shade  test  with  Lady 
Esther  Face  Powder,  note,  too,  how  exquisitely 
soft  and  smooth  it  is.  It  is  utterly  free  from 
anything  like  grit.  It  is  also  a  clinging  face 
powder!  By  actual  test  it  will  stay  on  for  four 
hours  and  look  fresh  and  lovely  all  the  time. 
In  every  way,  as  you  can  see  for  yourself.  Lady 
Esther  Face  Powder  excels  anything  ever 
known  in  face  powder. 

Write  today!  Just  mail  the  coupon  or  a 
penny  postcard.  By  return  mail  you'll  receive 
all  five  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder.

An  Affliction  so  Embarrassing, 
Many  Bear  it  in  Silence! 

PILES  are  enough  almost  to  drive  one  mad  !  They 
torment  you  day  and  night,  even  while  you  are 
abed. 

The  pain  is  a  severe  drain  on  your  strength  and 
vitality  and  handicaps  you  in  your  every  activity. 
The  dangerous  part  about  Piles  is  that  because  of 
the  delicacy  of  the  ailment  many  are  reluctant  to 
seek  relief.  For  this  reason  Piles  often  develop  into 
something  very  serious. 

Piles  are  successfully  treated  today  with  Pazo 
Ointment.  Pazo  gives  almost  instant  relief  from 
the  pain,  itching  and  bleeding.  It  lets  you  walk,  sit 
and  sleep  in  comfort.  More  important  still,  Pazo 
tends  to  correct  the  condition  of  Piles  as  a  whole. 

Pazo  is  effective  because  it  is  threefold  in  effect. 

First,  it  is  soothing,  which  relieves  the  soreness 
and  inflammation.  Second,  it  is  healing,  which 
repairs  the  torn  and  damaged  tissues.  Third,  it  is 
absorbing,  which  dries  up  any  mucous  matter  and 
tends  to  shrink  the  swollen  blood  vessels  which  are 
Piles. 

Pazo  comes  in  two  forms  —  in  tubes  and  tins. 
The  tubes  have  a  special  Pile  Pipe  for  insertion  in 
the  rectum.  All  drug  stores  sell  Pazo  at  small  cost. 
Mail  coupon  for  free  trial  tube.

Gray  Hair 

Best  Remedy  is  Made  At  Home 

Tou  can  now  make  at  home  a  better  gray 
hair  remedy  than  you  can  buy  by  following 
this  simple  recipe:  To  half  pint  of  water  add 
one  ounce  bay  rum,  a  small  box  of  Barbo 
Compound  and  one-fourth  ounce  of  glycerine. 
Any  druggist  can  put  this  up  or  you  can  mix 
It  yourself  at  very  little  cost.  Apply  to  the  hair 
twice  aweek  until  the  desired  shade  is  obtained. 

Barbo  imparts  color  to  streaked,  faded  or 
gray  hair,  making  it  soft  and  glossy.  It  will 
not  color  the  scalp,  is  not  sticky  or  greasy 
and  does  not  rub  off.

it  not  entirely  practical.    Broadcasts  had 
•ver  been  made  from  a  court  room  while 
)urt  was  in  session.    This  brought  up 
■veral  important  questions.    Would  it  in- 
rrupt    the    dignified    court  procedure? 
ould  it  be  possible  to  pick  up  the  voices 
;"  all  the  participants  in  a  case?  Most 
nportant  of  all,  would  the  judge  consent? 
The  last  question  was  answered  first, 
ldge  George  E.  Page,  who  presides  over 
istrict  Court,  readily  agreed  that  it  was 
splendid  plan.     After  two  years'  ex- 
■rience  Judge  Page  still  believes  that  it 
ias  a  fine  idea. 

"The  court  room  broadcasts  have  ac- 
'tnplished  their  purpose,"  he  says.  "Au- 
•mobile  drivers  living  in  Milwaukee,  and 
ose  in  surrounding  territory  who  often

HERE'S  DOCTOR'S  ADVICE 

Doctor's  tests  show  you  con  clear  up  blemishes  in 
as  little  as  three  days.  Here's  all  you  do: 

Use  Ambrosia,  the  pore-deep  liquid  cleanser, 
three  times  a  day.  You  feel  Ambrosia  tingle.  You 
know  it  is  cleansing  as  nothing  has  done  before. 
Skin  specialist  who  made  789  tests  of  the  use  of 
Ambrosia  reported: 

"Ambrosia  cleanses  thoroughly  and  deeply.  Is 
antiseptic,  healing  and  tonic.  Prevents  the  for- 
mation of  blackheads  and  blemishes." 

Begin  now  to  have  clear,  unblemished  skin. 
Get  a  bottle  of  Ambrosia  at  any  drug  or  depart- 
ment store.  Only  75C.  In  smaller  sizes  at  lOf  stores.

tl  letters  bring  up  various  questions  of 
P.  Some  make  suggestions,  while  oth- 
e  merely  comment  enthusiastically  on 
tl  unique  form  of  entertainment. 

luch  of  the  popularity  of  the  Court 
badcasts  can  be  attributed  to  the  fact 
B  they  always  offer  plenty  of  human  in- 
ti-st,  spiced  with  generous  portions  of 
tills  and  humor. 

[any  insiders  are  still  chuckling  over 
a.  oung  chap  who  recently  staged  such 
aood  show  in  court. 

he  youth,  pale-faced,  heard  the  judge's 
vfds:  "Ten  dollars  and  costs.  Next 
[  ■ !"  With  a  brilliant  display  of  high 
s  ool  oratory,  the  lad  had  defended  him- 
s  during  his  radio  court  trial  for  speed- 
ii.  But  it  was  to  no  avail.  The  court 
h  found  him  guilty. 

[low,  dejectedly,  he  walked  towards  the 
c  attorney's  office  to  make  arrangements 
f  paying  the  fine.  Although  it  was  his 
c  i's  car,  the  youth  had  intimated  that  dad 
H  no  intention  of  paying  his  son's  fine. 

Vs  he  walked  down  the  hall  he  glanced 
i  the  press  room  where  the  writer  was 
s  ing.  Noticing  a  phone,  he  asked  to  use 
i  He  wanted  to  call  home.  To  break 
t  bad  news,  apparently.  This,  we 
t  ught,  was  the  payoff.  We  felt  sorry, 
b  not  for  long. 

lis  mother  answered  the  call.  "Hello, 
rm"  he  said.    "How  d'  I  sound?" 

5eing  only  human,  after  all,  some  mo- 
tists  listen  to  the  program  just  for  the 
s  sfaction  of  hearing  an  unfortunate  vic- 
t  "get  it  in  the  neck." 

)ne  motorist  became  so  absorbed  in  the 
1  adcast  that  he  failed  to  notice  an  auto- 
r  tic  traffic  light.  As  a  result  he  went 
rht  through.    A  passing  police  squad  car 

I  tted  the  deed  and  gave  pursuit.  The 
rice  machine  overtook  the  car  and  forced 
i  o  the  curb. 

itill  engrossed  in  the  court  program, 
t  motorist  was  surprised  to  see  the 
( cers.    He  was  about  to  ask  what  he 

II  done  when  he  heard  a  voice  coming 
t  m  the  loudspeaker  of  his  auto  radio, 
le  voice  was  that  of  the  clerk  of  the 
urt,  and  he  was  saying  to  a  defendant 
i  the  court  room  :  "You  are  charged  with 
'  lating  the  automatic  traffic  light  ordi- 
i  ice." 

■Vhile  no  one  is  required  to  go  on  the 
;  unless  he  or  she  wishes  to,  those  who 
Jy  such  an  important  role  in  the  true 
( irt  room  radio  dramas  seldom  decline 
t  opportunity  to  appear  before  the  mi- 
i  phone.  Some  do  it  just  for  the  thrill 
<  having  their  voices  broadcast,  while 
i  ers  willingly  accept  the  chance  because 
I  y  hope  for  a  better  "break,"  feeling  that

Difficult  Days? 


"When  I  think  of  the  way  I  used  to  suffer  regularly,  set- 
ting aside  certain  days  when  any  activity  was  out  of  the 
question — even  walking  any  distance — you  may  know- 
how  grateful  I  am  for  Midol.  Xow,  I  have  no  such  pain, 
or  even  discomfort.  I  ride  horseback  on  the  days  that  once 
demanded  absolute  quiet." 

This  is  not  the  experience  of  just  one  woman.  Thousands 
could  tell  how  Midol  has  given  back  those  days  once 
given  over  to  suffering. 

Midol  might  end  all  periodic  pain  for  you.  And  even  if 
it  didn't,  you  would  get  a  measure  of  relief  well  worth 
while.  Remember,  this  is  a  special  medicine,  recommended 
by  specialists  for  this  particular  purpose.  But  it  is  not 
a  narcotic,  so  don't  be  afraid  of  the  speed  with  which 
Midol  takes  hold. 

You  may  obtain  these  tablets  at  any  drugstore.  Get 
some  today,  and  be  prepared.  Taken  in  time,  they  may 
spare  you  any  pain  at  all.  Or  relieve  such  pain  at  any 
time.  They  are  effective  for  several  hours,  so  two  tablets 
should  see  you  through  your  worst  day. 

Just  ask  the  druggist  for  Midol.  Or  look  for  it  on  his 
toilet  goods  counter.  Or  let  the  makers  send  you  some 
to  try.  Whatever  you  do,  don't  decline  this  comfort  any 
longer.

is  broadcast  unless  the  defendant  has 
i  ered  a  plea  of  "not  guilty."  and  has 
ilicated  that  he  has  a  reasonable  defense, 
.though  it  is  a  regular  police  court, 
ltring  all  kinds  of  cases,  only  trials  of 
tffic  law  violations  are  broadcast  from 
] -trict  Court.  These,  of  course,  are  the 
tjy  type  that  can  be  sent  out  to  a  gen- 
f  1  group  of  family  listeners,  which  in- 
c.des,  undoubtedly,  many  children. 

\Vhen  the  National  Safety  Congress 
1 1  at  the  Stevens  Hotel  in  Chicago,  the 
l  ire  group,  consisting  of  450  represen- 
lives  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States 
( 1  Canada  listened  to  the  program  as  it 
Is  broadcast  from  District  Court  in  Mil- 

ukee.    Many  pronounced  it  the  most  ini- 
tial air  feature  they  had  ever  heard. 
That  these  broadcasts  are  effective  is 

>wn  by  the  fact  that  Milwaukee  was 
,  arded  first  prize  in  the  National  Safety 
i  ntest  in  1933,  the  first  year  of  the  court 
;  igrams.  Every  large  city  in  the  United 
,'ites  competes  in  this  contest,  which  is 
1  determine  the  city  having  the  best  traffic 
rord. 

Several   large   manufacturing  concerns 
Ue  attempted  to  cash-in  on  the  tremen- 
ijus  following  of  these  programs  by  of- 
1  ing   to    put    them    on    the    air    as  a 
i  nmercial  feature.  A  number  of  these  con- 
•  ns,  most  of  whom  manufacture  auto- 
ibile   accessories,   have   even  seriously 
isidered  placing  the  broadcasts  on  a  net- 
■rk,  knowing  that  they  would  have  an 
al  listening  audience  for  their  products, 
goes  without  saying  that  these  attempts 
commercialize   a  court   of   justice  in 
,;h  a  manner  were  promptly  turned  down 
Judge  Page,  station  YVTMJ  and  others 
sponsible    for   the    Milwaukee  District 
urt  programs. 


A  short  time  ago  Florence  Baker 
was  taking  kid  parts,  now  she's 
the  ingenue  in  a  dramatic  show. 


MANU  FACTURER'S  NOTE  : — As  the  result  ot

lets. They  are  easily  assimilated,  do  not  upset 
the  stomach  nor  injure  the  teeth.  Absolutely 
guaranteed  to  produce  results  or  money  back. 


Comparison  of  Minerals  in 
KELPAMALT  vs. 
VEGETABLES 
3  Kelpamalt  Tablets 
contain: 


More  Iron  and  Copper  than  1 
lb.  of  spinach,  lbs.  fresh

cabbage.

HEY! 

YOU  FOLKS  WITH 

NATURALLY 
SKINNY 
BUILDS ! 


Here's  a  Quick  Way 
to  put  on  10  to  15  lbs. 
of  Good  Solid  Flesh 
and  Feel  Like  a 
i  Million  Dollars! 

Kelpamalt,  the  New  Mineral 
Concentrate  From  the  Sea — 
Rich  in  Newer  Form  of  NATU- 
RAL IODINE — Guarantees 
5  Lbs.  in  1  Week  or  No  Cost 

MEN  AND  WOMEN  EVERY- 
WHERE AMAZED  AT  RESULTS 


Thousands  of  thin,  pale,  rundown  folks — and  even  "Na- 
turally Skinny"  men  and  women — are  amazed  at  this  new 
easy  way  to  put  on  healthy  needed  pounds  quickly.  Gains 
of  15  to  20  lbs.  in  one  month,  5  lbs.  in  1  week,  are  reported 
regularly. 

Kelpamalt,  the  new  mineral  concentrate  from  the  sea,  gets 
right  down  to  the  cause  of  thin,  underweight  conditions  and 
adds  weight  through  a  "2  ways  in  1"  natural  process. 
First,  its  rich  supply  of  easily  assimilable  minerals  stimulates 
the  digestive  glands  which  produce  the  juices  that  alone 
enable  you  to  digest  fats  and  starches,  the  weight-makinp 
elements  in  your  daily  diet.  And  these  minerals  are  needed 
by  virtually  every  organ  and  for  every  function  of  the  body 
Second,  Kelpamalt  is  rich  in  NATURAL  IODINE — a 
mineral  needed  by  the  vital  organ  which  regulates  metabolism 
— the  process  through  which  the  body  is  constantiy  building 
firm,  solid  flesh,  new  strength  and  energy.  6  Kelpamalt 
tablets  contain  more  NATURAL  IODINE  than  486  lbs.  of 
spinach  or  1660  lbs.  of  beef.  More  iron  and  copper  than  2  lbs. 
of  spinach  or  15  lbs.  of  fresh  tomatoes.  More  calcium  than  1 
doz.  eggs.  More  phosphorus  than  3  lbs.  of  carrots. 
Try  Kelpamalt  for  a  single  week  and  notice  the  difference 
— how  much  better  you  sleep,  how  ordinary  stomach  distress 
vanishes,  how  firm  flesh  appears  in  place  of  scrawny  hollows — 
and  the  new  energy  and  strength  it  brings  you.  Kelpamalt 
is  prescribed  and  used  by  physicians.  Fine  for  children,  too. 
Remember  the  name.  Kelpamalt,  the  original  kelp  and 
malt  tablets.  Nothing  like  them,  so  don't  accept  imitations. 
Start  Kelpamalt  today.  If  you  don't  gain  at  least  5  lbs. 
in  1  week  the  trial  is  free.

size  of  ordinary  tablets — cost  but  little  and  may  be  had  at

EVERY  DAY,  more  and  more  women  are  adopting  Norforms  as  the  most 
modern,  convenient  and  satisfactory  form  of  feminine  hygiene.  Norforms 
are  easy-to-use  antiseptic  suppositories  that  melt  at  internal  body  temperature, 
and  spread  a  protective,  soothing  film  over  delicate  internal  membranes — an 
antiseptic  film  that  remains  in  effective  contact  for  many  hours.

Norforms  contain  Parahydrecin — a  power- 
ful yet  harmless  antiseptic  developed  by 
The  Norwich  Pharmacal  Company,  makers 
of  Unguentine.  Parahydrecin  kills  germs, 
yet  is  non-irritating  to  tissue.  There  is  no 
danger  of  an  "over-dose"  or  "burn."  Nor- 
forms are  completely  ready  for  use.  They 
require  no  awkward  apparatus  for  applica- 
tion. They  leave  no  lingering  antiseptic  smell 
around  the  room  or  about  your  person. 


They  are  dainty  and  feminine,  and  actually 
deodorizing.  Many  fastidious  women  use 
them  for  this  purpose  alone. 

Send  for  the  Norforms  booklet,  "The  Neu 
Way."  It  gives  further  facts  about  modern- 
ized feminine  hygiene.  Or,  buy  a  box  of 
Norforms  at  your  druggist's  today.  12  in 
a  package,  each  individually  foil  wrapped.

•  Take  it  from  Red  Nichols  and  his  Pen- 
m:  There  are  times  when  a  hundred- 
«tyar  bill  isn't  worth  a  dime.  One  morn- 
ii  in  November,  for  example.  The  hour 
v-  five.  Red  and  his  Pennies  bandsmen 
ht  just  finished  an  all-night  engagement 
a  tie  Bridle  Spur  Club  in  St.  Louis.  That 
sne  evening,  at  nine  o'clock,  the  boys 
wie  due  to  start  playing  for  the  Mich- 
ip-Ohio  State  home-coming  dance  at 
\  ley  Dale.  Columbus.  Ohio,  some  400 
nes  away. 

s'hile  his  bandsmen  were  hurriedly 
pking  their  instruments.  Red,  in  the 
niager's  office,  was  carefully  pocketing 
t  pay-off,  consisting  of  a  certified  check 
a  nine  one  hundred  dollar  bills.

Beware  of  napkins  that  don't 

stay  soft 


HAVE  you  —  like  many  other  women —  ■ 
wondered  how  napkins  can  feel  soft  to 
begin  with  and  later  turn  into  instruments  of 
torture?  Chafing . . .  cutting . . .  rubbing  delicate 
skin  surfaces  until  every  step  hurts! 
Here's  your  answer:  They  harden. 
Surface  softness  in  a  napkin  is  no  guarantee 
against  hardening.  Lasting  comfort  must  be 
built  in !  That's  the  principle  upon  which 
;    Modess  is  made.  That's  why  Modess  is  soft 
to  start  with— and  stays  soft  in  use. 

Special  materials  go  into  Modess.  And 
they're  put  together  in  a  special  way.  No  other 
napkin  can  duplicate  Modess  construction, 
which  means  that  no  other  napkin  can  give 
you  the  comfort  that  is  yours 
when  you  wear  Modess.  rff^ 

Take  ten  seconds  —  and 
make  this  test 

Even  before  you  test  Modess 
in  use,  your  eyes  and  your 
finger-tips  can  prove  to  you 
why  and  how  it's  better.  Feel 
the  softness  of  the  specially- 


treated  surgical  gauze  that  covers  the  pad. 
Then  turn  back  the  gauze  and  see — just  under- 
neath—the layer  of  downy  fluff  that  cushions 
the  fluffy  filler.  That's  exclusive  with  Modess. 

And  notice  this  about  the  filler.  It's  not 
made  of  harsh,  papery  layers.  Millions 
of  tiny  fibres,  actually  blown  into  shape, 
form  its  yielding  softness — make  it  super- 
absorbent— and  proof  against  hardened 
edges. 

And  remember— this  softer  napkin  is  safer, 
too.  There's  a  special  protective  backing  that 
guards  against  "accidents." 

Modess  is  not  expensive! 

Ask  your  druggist  —  or 
your  favorite  department 
store — for  Modess.  You'll 
be  astonished  at  its  low 
price.  But  even  better  than 
'ts  bargain  price  is  the  last- 
ing comfort  Modess  brings. 
Wear  Modess  once,  and 
you'll  have  solved  the  chaf- 
ing problem ! 


MODESS  stays  soft  in  use!

his,  looking  ruefully  at  the  overflowing 
gas  tank  on  Red's  car,  and  compromised 
with  a  sigh :  "Well,  I  guess  I'll  have  to 
take  it  on  the  cuff.  One  thing's  sure — 
the  depression  must  he  over." 

Red  assured  him  that  it  was.  Also,  that 
he  would  have  his  money  in  full  by  reg- 
istered mail  the  next  morning. 

The  two  other  cars  of  his  bandsmen 
fared  similarly.  The  truck  driver,  how- 
ever, proved  the  financial  wizard  of  the 
troupe.  At  the  first  rebuff,  the  driver, 
leaving  his  truck  standing  in  the  gas  sta- 
tion, walked  to  the  nearest  railroad  station 
and  located  the  Western  Union  operator. 
Handing  over  the  hundred-dollar-bill  to 
the  startled  clerk,  he  telegraphed  a  money- 
order  to  one  Red  Nichols  at  Columbus, 
Ohio,  in  the  amount  of  ninety  dollars — 
and  drew  ten  dollars  in  change. 

"And,"  remarked  Nichols,  "some  peo- 
ple think  truck  drivers  are  all  muscle  and 
no  brains.'' 

•>  There  has  been  so  much  talk  about  hot 
music  versus  sweet  music  and  what's  best 
and  what's  most  popular,  that  we  asked 
Glen  Gray,  one  of  the  more  popular  maes- 
tros,  to  give  us  the  low-down  on  the 
whole  thing.    Here's  what  he  says : 

"For  ten  years  I  have  been  playing 
dance  music  for  dancers  of  America,  and 
during  that  time  my  work  has  taken  me 
before  every  type  of  audience  to  be  en- 
countered in  the  field  of  popular  music. 
I've  run  the  gamut  from  summer  dance 
pavilions — five  cents  a  dance — to  debu- 
tantes' coming-out  parties,  and  played  in 
vaudeville,  for  phonograph  records  and 
radio. 


"I've  studied  the  likes  and  dislikes  of  all 
of  these  listeners,  and  the  first  taste  of 
one  and  all  is  for  hot,  swing,  rhythm  or 
flag-waver  numbers.  Appreciation  of  sweet 
numbers  increases  in  direct  ratio  to  the 
ascending  scale,  but  the  taste  for  sweet 
numbers  is  always  secondary.  Whatever 
the  audience  and  however  great  its  appre- 
ciation of  sweet  tunes,  it  takes  the  hot 
ones  to  stop  the  show. 

"The  musical  knowledge  of  the  layman, 
today,  is  far  greater  than  it  was  ten  years 
ago,  and  this  is  reflected  in  the  type  of 
numbers  which  are  being  written.  They 
have,  in  their  embodying  themes,  more 
really  musical  qualities  than  have  ever  be- 
fore been  found  in  this  type  of  song. 

"Dance  musicians  of  today,  too,  are 
much  further  advanced,  not  only  in  musi- 
cal knowledge,  but  in  their  technique  and 
in  their  understanding  of  the  possibilities 
of  their  instruments.  Cognizance  must 
not  be  lost  of  the  fact  that  the  dance  mu- 
sicians of  yesterday,  dissatisfied  with  the 
sterility  of  American  popular  music  and 
alive  to  possible  improvements,  blazed  a 
trail  which  has  become  a  thoroughfare  to 
bigger  and  better  things  in  dance  music. 
I  do  not  think  there  has  been  any  com- 
parable improvement  in  the  past  ten  years 
in  the  symphonic,  chamber  music,  or  op- 
eratic fields. 

"Throughout  this  evolution  in  dance 
music  the  Negro  musician  has  asserted 
himself  as  an  important  factor,  and  he  is 
mainly  responsible  for  the  dance  rhythm 
as  it  is  expressed  today.  Because  of  this, 
dance  music  now  is  all  the  more  truly 
American.  The  Negro  has  had  no  Euro- 
pean heritage  in  music  to  color  his  efforts. 


"The  present  day  arranger  of  dai 
music  is  on  a  level  far  above  that  of  I 
predecessors,  and  must  be  credited  for  ! 
share  in  the  improvement  in  the  popul 
field.  His  ideas  today  are  more  in  li 
with  what  is  academically  considered  go 
orchestration — in  voicing  of  instrument 
effects  and  general  arranging  tecbniqi 
Hut  at  the  same  time  his  achievements  ; 
definitely  original. 

"There  are,  of  course,  many  of  the  < 
die-hards  who  refuse  to  admit  that  jaz2 
I  detest  the  word — is  more  than  the  pa 
ing  fancy  of  a  world  mad  with  post-w 
lasciviousness.     They  are  wanderers 
the  wayside,  having  been  too  quick 
judge  the  bawling  crassness  of  lenf; 
jazz.    The  baby  has  blossomed  forth  it 
a  beautiful  specimen  of  modern  manne 
Yet,  in  a  way,  I  can't  help  but  make 
lowances  for  these  opponents  of  jazz, 
what  they  have  had  thrust  upon  them  i 
dcr  the  cognomen   of  dance  music  tj 
often  been  pretty  terrible. 

"Radio,  I  think,  with  its  tremendc 
audiences,  has  been  the  biggest  factor  i 
the  advancement  of  popular  music.  Dar 
orchestras  which  could  formerly  be  hea 
in  only  one  place  at  a  time  are  now  affor 
ed  an  audience  numbering  in  the  millio 
As  a  consequence  the  quality  of  the  wc 
they  must  do  to  remain  on  top  is  incre; 
ing  with  every  program.  This  impro' 
ment  should  continue  until  we  arrive 
the  point  where  jazz  will  have  becoi 
universally  accepted  as  a  medium  of  art 
tic  expression.  And  when  this  not  li 
distant  day  arrives,  I  shan't  be  the  c 
to  point  a  scornful  finger  and  say,  'I  t< 
you  so !' "

doesn't  some  kind  girl  friend  tell  her  she

How  in  the  world,  people  ask,  with 
the  problem  of  a  family  to  face,  did  she 
ever  get  into  this  amazing  business? 

When  Margaret  Brainard  first  married, 
her  husband  remarked  to  her :  "You're 
the  stupidest  woman  I  ever  met." 

Despite  his  bantering  tone,  she  was 
piqued.  Her  background  had  been  aca- 
demic. She  determined  to  prove  to  her- 
self and  to  him  that  she  had  a  good  in- 
tellect. So  she  enrolled  in  Columbia 
University  and  studied  English,  Modern 
History,  Philosophy,  Logic  and  Psychol- 
ogy. 

Later  on,  she  went  to  Reno  for  a  di- 
vorce. Having  convinced  herself  that  she 
had  a  good  mind  was  the  impelling  force 
which  thrust  her  into  the  beauty  business. 
She  had  discovered  the  formula  for  a 
beauty  cream  and  became  interested  in 
making  it. 

She  began  to  develop  other  creams.  But 
she  was  constantly  encountering  materials 
which  wouldn't  mix.  Such  problems  were 
a  challenge  to  her.  She  bought  all  the 
chemistry  books  she  could  lay  her  hands 
on.  During  the  six  weeks  in  Nevada,  she 
filled  her  time  profitably  in  study. 

When  she  returned  to  New  York,  she 
found  a  position  in  a  department  store. 
Life  wasn't  any  too  easy  in  that  particular 
phase  of  her  career.  The  faith  in  her 
beauty  preparation  carried  her  through. 
She  persuaded  the  store  to  market  it.  The 
sales  of  the  cream "  created  by  her  own 
hand  made  it  possible  for  her  to  start  her 
own  beauty  establishment.  Now  she  has 
a  clientele  of  well-to-do  New  York 
women. 

Yet  Margaret  Brainard  had  always 
sought  some  kind  of  effective  beauty 
treatment  within  the  means  and  time  al- 
lowances of  the  average  woman.  How- 
ever, she  never  suspected  that  the  night 
she  went  to  the  moving  pictures  with  a 
friend,  it  was  to  be  the  night  of  inspira- 
tion. 

The  friend  had  given  up  smoking  and 
to  distract  himself  chewed  gum  instead. 
Have  you  ever  watched  the  unconscious 
rhythmic  motion  of  people's  jaws  as  they 
chew  gum?  Margaret  Brainard  had  been 
stealing  sidelong  glances  at  her  escort  dur- 
ing most  of  the  show. 

Toward  the  end,  still  intent  on  the 
screen,  he  took  a  fresh  stick  of  gum  from 
his  pocket.  She  wondered  how  he  was 
going  to  dispose  of  what  he  had  been 
chewing.  Already  he  had  several  sticks  in 
his  mouth.  But  in  he  popped  the  new 
stick  to  add  to  the  rest  of  the  wad. 

Utterly  fascinated  by  the  movement  of 
his  facial  muscles,  she  reached  over  and 
touched  him  on  the  cheek,  the  forehead, 
the  nape  of  the  neck.  An  idea  was  being 
born. 

He  entered  into  the  spirit  of  the  thing 
and  moved  his  jaws  through  all  sorts  of 
gyrations  so  that  she  might  discover  what 
muscles  were  brought  into  play. 

After  that,  she  made  a  long  study  of

RED,  CHAPPED  HANDS? 

GUARANTEED  ^OVERNIGHT 


Hands  made  smoother, 
softer,  whiter— too, 

with  famous  medicated  cream 


Here's  a  sure  way  to  relieve  badly 
chapped  hands— a  quick  way  to 
make  red,  rough,  ugly-looking  hands  soft, 
smooth  and  white.  Try  it— if  it  doesn't 
greatly  improve  your  hands  overnight, 
it  will  cost  you  nothing! 

A  hospital  secret 

This  famous  medicated  cream  was  used 
first  as  a  chapped  hands  remedy  in  hospi- 
tals. Doctors  and  nurses  have  a  lot  of 
trouble  with  chapped  hands  in  winter — 
they  have  to  wash  hands  so  frequently. 
They  found  that  if  they  applied  Noxzema 
Cream  liberally  on  their  hands  at  night, 
all  soreness  disappeared  by  morning- 
hands  became  smoother  and  whiter. 

Today  millions  of  people  use  this  "over- 
night remedy  for  chapped  hands."  If 
your  hands  are  chapped,  see  for  yourself 
how  wonderful  Noxzema  is  for  them. 

Make  this  simple  test.  Apply  Noxzema 
on  one  hand  tonight— rub  plenty  of  it  into 
the  pores.  Leave  the  other  hand  with 
nothing  on  it.  Note  the  big  difference  in 
the  morning.  Feel  the  difference,  too! 
One  hand  still  red  and  irritated— the 
other  smooth  and  white. 


Koxzema  is  a  snoto- 
white,  dainty,  grease- 
less  cream  —  not 
sticky,  gummy  or 
messy  to  use. 


Get  a  jar  of  Noxzema  today— use  it 
tonight.  Sold  on  a  money-back  guarantee, 
if  relieves  and  improves  Red,  Chapped 
Hatids  overnight — or  your  druggist  gladly 
refunds  your  money! 

To  end  skin  faults 

Over  10,000,000  jars  of  Noxzema  are  used 
yearly  to  relieve  skin  irritations— not  only 
chapped  hands,  but  chapped  lips,  chafing, 
chilblains,  etc.  Thousands  of  women  apply 
Noxzema  as  a  powder  base  and  at  night 
to  end  Large  Pores,  Pimples,  Blackheads, 
Oiliness  and  other  ugly  skin  faults.

that  they  have  found  a  way,  at  last,  to  obtain  effect 
relief.  In  many  cases,  all  symptoms  gone!  Miss  Ka 
erine  Radford,  2561  Pinkney  St.,  Omaha,  Nebras: 
wrote  on  March  29,  1932: 

"I  had  bronchial  asthma  for  5  years.  I  was  afraic 
to  go  to  bed — was  so  weak  I  couldn't  even  raist 
my  arms.  I  started  taking  Nacor  last  Novem 
ber.  I  haven't  had  a  spell  since." 
Nacor  is  absolutely  safe  to  use — so  safe,  in  fact,  £ 
so  effective  that  druggists  of  highest  standing  recc 
mend  it  to  their  customers.  If  you  have  asthma 
bronchial  cough,  write  for  helpful  booklet — also 
ters  from  happy  users,  and  name  of  druggist  in  y< 
locality  who  can  supply  you.  Address  Nacor  Medic

ONLY  A  PENETRATING  FACE  CREAM  WILL 
REACH  THAT  UNDER- SURFACE  DIRT! 


X?  »      Those  pesky  Black-

'  that  keep  popping  out 

in  your  skin — they  have  their  roots  in  a  bed  of 
under-surface  dirt. 

That  underneath  dirt  is  also  the  cause  of  other 
heart-breaking  blemishes,  such  as:  Enlarged 
Pores,  Dry  and  Scaly  Skin,  Muddy  and  Sallow 
Skin.  There  is  only  one  way  to  get  rid  of  these 
skin  troubles  and  that  is  to 
cleanse  your  skin  to  the  depths. 

A  Face  Cream  that  Gets 

Below  the  Surface 

It  takes  a  penetrating  face  cream 
to  reach  that  hidden  "second 
layer"  of  dirt;  a  face  cream  that 
gets  right  down  into  the  pores  and 
cleans  them  out  from  the  bottom. 

Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  is  defi- 
nitely a  penetrating  face  cream. 
It  is  a  reaching  and  searching 
face  cream.  It  does  not  just  lie  on 
the  surface.  It  works  its  way  into 
the  pores  immediately.  It  pene- 
trates to  the  very  bottom  of  the 
pores,  dissolves  the  imbedded 
waxy  dirt  and  floats  it  to  the  sur- 
face where  it  is  easily  wiped  off. 

No  other  face  cream  has  quite 
the  action  of  Lady  Esther  Four- 
Purpose  Face  Cream.  No  other  face  cream 
is  quite  so  searching,  so  penetrating. 

It  Does  4  Things  for  the 
Benefit  of  Your  Skin 

First,  it  cleanses  the  pores  to  the  very 
bottom. 

Second,  it  lubricates  the  skin.  Resup- 
plies  it  with  a  fine  oil  that  overcomes 


Make  This  Test 

Pass  your  fingers  over  your 
whole  face.  Do  you  feel  little 
bumps  in  your  skin?  Do  you 
feel  dry  patches  here  and 
there?  Little  bumps  or  dry 
or  scaly  patches*  in  your  skin 
are  a  sure  sign  of  "sub 
soil"  or  under-surface  dirt. 


dryness  and  keeps  the  skin  soft  and  flexible. 

Third,  because  it  cleanses  the  pores  thor- 
oughly, the  pores  open  and  close  naturally 
and  become  normal  in  size,  invisibly  small. 

Fourth,  it  provides  a  smooth,  non-sticky 
base  for  face  powder. 

Prove  It  at  My  Expense 

I  want  you  to  see  for  yourself  what  Lady  Esther 
Four-Purpose  Face  Cream  will 
do  for  your  skin.  So  I  offer  you 
a  7-day  supply  free  of  charge. 

Write  today  for  this  7-day 
supply  and  put  it  to  the  test  on 
your  skin. 

Note  the  dirt  that  this  cream 
gets  out  of  your  skin  the  very  first 
cleansing.  Mark  how  your  skin 
seems  to  get  lighter  in  color  as 
you  continue  to  use  the  cream. 
Note  how  clear  and  radiant  your 
skin  becomes  and  how  soft  and 
smooth. 

Even  in  three  days'  time  you 
will  see  such  a  difference  in  your

Spitalny's  ensemble  of  thirty  girl  instru-

sit  in  the  control  room  and  let  a  fair

Women,  Phil  believes,  react  more  spon- 
taneously to  lilting  tunes  and  romantic 
rhythms  than  to  hot  numbers.  The  pro- 
gram which  is  designed  to  entertain  them 
will,  therefore,  emphasize  sweet  melodic 
music  typifying  feminine  charm  and  beauty.

WHY  YOU  HAVE 
^INDIGESTION 

New  Facts  About  Gassy 
Fullness,  Heartburn,  etc. 

ANew,  Faster, 
Safer  Relief 

YOU  have  heartburn, 
gassiness,  indiges- 
tion because  hasty  eat- 
ing, wrong  food  combi- 
nations or  other  condi- 
tions cause  o»cr-acidity 
of  the  stomach.  To  re- 
lieve your  distress,  reduce  the  excess  acid — but 
don't  alkalize  the  stomach  entirely,  or  you'll 
stop  your  digestion  entirely.  That  is  one  of  the 
dangers  in  drenching  down  half  a  tumbler  of 
harsh,  raw.alkalies.  Also  excess  alkalies  may  seep 
into  the  system,  affecting  the  blood  and  kidneys. 

The  new,  advanced  method  is  to  take  an 
antacid  that  acts  only  in  the  presence  of  acid. 
Such  a  remedy  is  contained  in  TUMS,  the 
candy-mint  digestion  tablet.  After  the  acid  is 
corrected,  TUMS'  action  stops!  If  part  is  left 
unused,  it  passes  out  inert  and  unabsorbed.  Try 
3  or  4  TUMS  the  next  time  you  are  distressed. 
You'll  be  astonished  at  the  quick  relief — happy 
to  have  discovered  a  remedy  that  really 
"works,"  and  is  so  easy  to  take.  10c  a  roll, 
everywhere.  (TUMS  contain  no  soda.)

While  the  Fred  Waring  troupe  is  happy 
>ver  its  show  being  boosted  to  a  full  hour 
or  the  first  time  since  Fred  has  been  on 
he  air,  there  is  unrest  within  one  unit 
if  the  organization.  It  centers  about  the 
rio  known  as  Babs  and  Her  Brothers. 

To  tell  the  story,  it  must  first  be  stated 
hat  the  two  boys  of  the  unit  are  not  Bab's 
mothers.  One  is  Charlie  Ryan,  husband 
if  Babs..  The  other  is  Little  Ryan,  brother 
)f  Charlie.  Now  it  develops  that  Babs 
ind  Husband  Charlie  are  not  getting  along 
.0  well.  A  family  disagreement,  the  nature 
)f  which  is  being  closely  guarded  by  the 
principals,  started  the  trouble  at  least  two 
nonths  ago. 

Friends  are  said  to  be  trying  to  help

forKlDDIES'  COLDS 


TAKE  CARE,  mother !  This  is  the  danger 
season  for  children's  colds  especially. 
Colds  are  more  prevalent  now,  and  so  apt 
to  lead  to  more  serious  diseases— such  as 
bronchitis  and  pneumonia. 

But  don't  worry— and  don't  experiment. 
Just  treat  every  cold  promptly  with  Vicks 
VapoRub,  the  proved  external  method. 
VapoRub  can  be  used  freely— and  as  often 
as  needed— even  on  the  youngest  child.  No 
"dosing"  to  upset  delicate  little  stomachs 
and  thus  low  er  resistance  w  hen  most  needed. 

Just  rubbed  on  throat  and  chest  at  bed- 
time, VapoRub  acts  direct  through  the  skin 
like  a  poultice  or  plaster,  while  its  medi- 
cated vapors  are  inhaled  direct  to  inflamed 
air-passages.  Through  the  night,  this 
double  direct  attack  loosens  phlegm  — 
soothes  irritated  membranes  — eases  diffi- 
cult breathing  —  helps  break  congestion.

WHAT  A  CHANGE! 


Try  this  pleasant 
WEEK-END  TEST! 

IS  YOUR  skin  pimply,  dull,  unattractive? 
Don't  despair!  Thousands  of  women  have 
found  a  quick,  simple  way  to  gain  and  keep  a 
skin  that  is  clear  and  smooth,  a  complexion 
fresh,  lovely  and  alluring.  But  not  by  artificial 
means!  Skin  troubles  usually  indicate  internal 
trouble  —  sluggish  elimination,  or  blood  im- 
poverished by  lack  of  calcium.  Stuart's  Calcium 
Wafers  correct  both  of  these  troubles.  Their 
gentle  action  rids  the  system  of  bodily  wastes. 
Enrich  and  tone  the  blood  with  the  calcium  you 
need.  Pimples  disappear.  Dull  skin  becomes 
clear  and  firm  —  the  complexion  aglow  with 
health  and  loveliness.  Try  this  pleasant  beauty 
aid.  Often  one  week-end  will  show  a  big  im- 
provement! At  all  drug  stores—  10c  and  60c.

RADIO  STARS 

(Continued  from  page  105) 
artists — the  Lanny  Ross  program  and 
Freddy  Martin's  Open  House  show.  Along 
the  trail  came  Ben  Bernie.  A  guest,  often 
known  to  Broadway  but  not  to  the  air. 
popped  up  now  and  then  on  the  Paul 
Whiteman  spot.  The  Radio  City  Party, 
the  Saturday  night  show  with  Frank 
Black,  joined  the  parade  about  a  month 
ago.  Kate  Smith  came  along  a  few  weeks 
ago  and  added  her  name  to  the  list.  Not 
to  be  outdone,  Ray  Perkins  rushed  to  join 
the  mass  with  a  program  which  is  more 
like  Major  Bowes  than  any  of  the  others. 
W'MCA  and  the  new  third  broadcasting 
system  has  an  hour  of  Harlem  amateurs 
which  is  of  the  same  type.  Here  the  audi- 
ence says  an  artist  is  good  by  applause 
or  says  he's  bad  by  hissing  and  booing. 
Fred  Allen  has  added  amateurs  to  his 
Wednesday  night  show.  Major  Bowes 
has  listeners  telephone  in  their  votes  for 
the  best.  When  a  lousy  one  gets  before 
the  mike,  the  Major  rings  a  bell  which 
means,  "Shut  up!"  Between  them  all, 
listeners  have  more  fun  than  watching  a 
barrel  of  monkeys.

Have  you  heard  the  network's  first 
woman  announcer  of  modern  times?  She's 
Elsie  Janis,  singer-actress,  who  made  her 
debut  at  the  control  box  the  middle  of 
December. 

*  *  * 

There  are  two  authentic  twins  acting 
the  roles  of  twins  on  the  network.  They 
are  Billy  and  Bobby  Mauch  who  appear  in 
Robinson  Crusoe,  Jr.,  and  the  Little  House 
Family. 

*  *  * 

It's  called  The  Gibson  Family — that 
Saturday  night  show — but  it  should  be 
The  Davis  Family.  Owen  Davis,  the  play- 
wright, writes  the  script.  A  son,  Donald, 
is  his  collaborator.  Another  son,  Owen, 
Jr.,  is  one  of  the  actors. 

*  *  * 

Alois  Havrilla,  the  announcer,  is  a 
singer  of  note.  In  1925  he  sang  in  the 
Sigmund  Romberg  operetta,  "Princess 
Flavia,"  and  during  his  career  has  ap- 
peared in  many  other  musical  productions.

May  Singhi  Breen  and  Peter  de  Rose, 
sometimes  called  "The  Sweethearts  of  the

ding anniversary.

Mary  McCoy  returns  to  the  airwaves

son, the  orkster,  is  doing  vaudeville  .  .  .  . 
Paul  Whiteman's  niece,  Dorothy  Atkins, 
has  been  making  movie  tests  ....  On  De- 
cember 18th  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad 
made  an  unscheduled  twenty  minute  stop 
in  Ohio  in  order  that  Boake  Carter,  who 
was  traveling  in  the  mid-west,  could  rush 
to  a  studio  and  do  his  fifteen  minute  daily 
broadcast  ....  Five  studios  were  neces- 
sary to  accommodate  that  huge  cast  of 
three  hundred  artists  who  appeared  Christ- 
mas and  Xew  Year's  day  on  that  auto 
show.

GETTING  THE  THIRD  DEGREE 


OH  woe-ho-ho  is  your  Uncle  Answer  man ! 

I'm  in  jail,  I'm  accused  of  simple  assault  on  a  police- 
man which  is  absurd  because  it  isn't  at  all  simple  to  as- 
sault a  cop  with  a  billy. 

So  please,  nieces  and  nephews,  if  you  want  to  get 
Unkie  out  of  jail,  write  me  all  the  questions  you  want 
answered  so  I  can  use  them  for  evidence  at  my  trial. 

"You've  got  to  let  me  go,"  I  told  the  detectives.  "I'm 
the  RADIO  STARS'  Uncle  Answer  Man  and  I've  got 
work  to  do." 

"Yeh?"  the  first  detective  sneered.  "And  I'm  your 
Aunt  Katie  Smith.  If  you're  who  you  say  you  are,  prove 
it." 

"All  right,"  I  answered.  "For  instance,  I'm  the  fellow 
who  tells  my  readers  /'/;/  unable  to  answer  questions  per- 
sonally, or  give  out  artists'  home  addresses,  or  tell  them 
how  to  get  photographs,  or  answer  any  questions  except 
those  asked  the  greatest  number  of  times." 

"If  that's  so,"  the  second  detective  yelled,  "you  ought 
to  be  in  the  cooler  anyhow.    But  I  don't 
think  you're  the  Answer  Man  in  the  first 
place.  Let's  give  him  the  works,  eh  Mike?" 

So  they  started  barking  one  question 
right  after  the  other  at  me.    Like  this : 

1st  Det :  What  were  you  doing  on  the 
night  of  December  8th  ? 

M e :  Finding  out  how  tall  and  heavy 
Rudy  Vallee  is. 

2nd  Det  :■  Prove  it. 

Me:  Six  feet  tall.   Weighs  150. 

1st  Det :  What  did  you  have  to  do  with 
the  disappearance  of  the  "Rise  of  the 
Goldbergs?" 

Me :  Nothing,  officer,  honest.  They 
went  off  the  air  because  their  contract 
wasn't  renewed  and  went  on  a  vaudeville 
tour.  If  they  come  back  on  the  air  at 
all.  it'll  probably  be  in  a  different  sketch. 

2nd  Det:  Are  Ozzie  Nelson  and  Harriet 
Hilliard  married? 

Me:  If  they  are,  they  won't  admit  it. 

1st  Det:  See?  You  ain't  the  Answer 
Man.  You  don't  know.  Is  Richard  Max- 
well, the  tenor,  married  ? 

Me :  Nope.  He's  divorced. 

2nd  Det:  All  right,  if  you  know  so 
much,  tell  us  some  more  about  him. 

Me :  Easy.  He's  five  feet  eleven  inches 
tall  and  weighs  176  pounds.  He  has  fair  complexion 
and  dark  blond  hair.  He  was  born  in  Mansfield,  Ohio, 
September  12,  1900,  of  a  mother  who  was  an  excellent 
musician  and  painter,  and  a  father  who  was  a  talented 
concert  baritone.  Dick  went  on  the  air  for  the  first 
time  on  WJZ,  New  York,  in  1923.    That's  when  Milton 


Ruth 


Cross  announced  that  he  believed  it  the  first  time  ar 
oratorio  had  been  sung  on  the  air.  After  that.  Maxwel 
was  on  a  good  many  of  the  old  programs.  On  the  stage 
he  was  in  such  Broadway  musical  shows  as  "Lady  Ir 
Ermine"  and  the  second  and  third  "Music  Box  Revues.' 
He  went  to  Georgetown  and  Ohio  State  Universities  anc 
during  the  war  was  a  Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Aviatioi 
Corps,  though  he  didn't  see  active  service.  There,  now 
who  isn't  the  Answer  Man? 

1st  Det:  You  aren't.  Now  gimme  the  cast  of  the  Gib1 
son  family. 

Me  :  Awright.  Awright.  Singing  cast :  Sally  Gibson,  Loi 
Bennett;  Bobby  Gibson,  Al  Dary;  Jack  Hamilton,  Conra< 
Thibault ;  Dottic  Marsh,  Loretta  Clemens.  Speaking  cast 
Mr.  Gibson,  Jack  Rosleigh :  Mrs.  Gibson,  Anne  Elstner 
Sally  Gibson,  Adele  Ronson ;  Bobby  Gibson,  Jack  Clem

"Awful"),  Emmett  Whitman,  prominent  Negro  actor  o

Now  won't  you  believe  I'm  the  Answer  Man.

WHO'D  EVER  THINK  YOU  COULD  USE 
THESE  LOVELY  DISHES  IN  THE  OVEN 


.  but  you  can! 


YES,  you  can  actually  bake  in  the 
oven  with  these  pretty  butter- 
cup yellow  table  dishes.  Bowls,  plat- 
ters, serving  dishes  .  .  .  every  single 
piece  of  OvenServe,  even  to  the  cups, 
saucers  and  plates,  is  built  to  stand 
full  oven  heat.  That's  something  new 
in  table  dishes.  There's  never  been 
anything  like  them  before. 

You  can,  for  instance,  bake  a  meat 
loaf  on  its  serving  platter,  delight  the 
family  with  a  juicy  fruit  pie  baked  in 
the  pie  plate,  or  individual  custards 
made  in  the  custard  cups,  or  any  one 
of  a  hundred  other  things.  And  all  of 
them  come  direct  to  the  table  from 
the  oven.  Think  of  the  fussing  around 
that  saves  in  serving  .  .  .  and  how  it 
cuts  down  on  the  dishwashing! 

You'll  notice,  too,  the  clever  design 
and  sizes  of  the  various  pieces  .  .  . 
handy  for  parking  left-overs  in  the 
refrigerator. 

Expensive?  Not  a  bit  of  it!  A  frac- 
tion of  the  cost  of  the  kitchen  oven- 
wares  you  know  about.  And  Oven- 
Serve  dishes  are  not  kitchen  ware,  but 
table  dishes!  Buy  them  by  the  piece. 
And  fill  in  as  you  wish. 

FISH  FILLETS  BAKED  ON 
OVENSERVE  FISH  PLATTER 

1  pound  fish  fillets  (any  kind) 

2  tbsps.  flour 
'/2  tsp.  salt 

J£  tsp.  pepper 

34  cup  water 

34  cup  evaporated  milk 

Wash  and  dry  fillets.  Place  fillets  on 
well-greased  OvenServe  Fish  Platter 
and  dust  with  flour,  salt  and  pepper. 
Combine  water  with  milk  and  pour 
over  fillets.  Bake  in  hot  oven  (400  F.) 
20-25  minutes,  or  until  fish  is  tender. 
Then  lift  dish  from  oven  to  table.

^^!S^S(0112aILllS^^P^^  SAYS  DENTAL  AUTHORITY 


IT    ISN'T    BEING    DONE,    BUT    IT'S    OneTlVaij-    TO    PREVENT    "PINK    TOOTH  BRUSH" 


OF  course  it's  terrible  to  the  dic- 
tators of  etiquette  and  the  ar- 
biters of  polite  society.  "Why,"  you 
can  hear  them  chorus,  "such  a  per- 
formance would  make  any  girl  a 
social  outlaw." 

But  it  certainly  isn't  terrible  to 


I  P  A  N  A 

TOOTH  PASTE 


the  modern  dentist  —  to  your  own  dentist. 

"Excellent,"  would  be  his  emphatic  re- 
tort. "If  you  and  every  one  of  my  patients 
chewed  as  vigorously,  I'd  hear  a  lot  less 
about  'pink  tooth  brush.'  And  if  we  mod- 
erns all  ate  more  coarse,  hard  foods,  a  big 
group  of  modern  dental  ills  would  prac- 
tically disappear." 

Dental  testimony  is  unanimous !  Modern 
gums  need  more  work  for  health — vigor- 
ous workouts  with  coarse,  raw  foods.  Our 
modern  soft  and  well-cooked  foods  are  to 
blame  for  the  wide  spread  of  that  teil-tale 
dental  warning,  "pink  tooth  brush." 

DON'T  IGNORE 
"PINK  TOOTH  BRUSH" 

"Pink  tooth  brush"  is  a  first  warning.  But 
neglected  —  it  often  proves  to  be  the  first 
downward  step  towards  such  serious  gum 
disorders  as  gingivitis,  Vincent's  disease 
and  pyorrhea. 

Play  safe  —  rouse  your  gums  to  health 
with  Ipana.  and  massage.  Clean  your  teeth 


regularly  with  Ipana — and  each  time  rub  a 
little  extra  Ipana  into  your  gums.  Ipana  with 
the  massage  speeds  circulation  through 
the  gum  tissues — and  helps  them  back  to 
healthy  firmness.  And  healthy  gums  mean 
whiter  teeth  and  a  brighter  smile. 

WHY  WAIT  FOR  THE  TRIAL  TUBE? 

Send  the  coupon  below,  if  you  like,  to  bring 
you  a  trial  tube  of  Ipana.  But  a  trial  tube  can 
be,  at  best,  only  an  introduction.  Why  not 
buy  the  full -size  tube  today  and  begin  to  get 
Ipana's  definite  advantages  now — a  month 
of  scientific  dental  care  ...  100  brushings 
.  .  .  brighter  teeth  and  healthier  gums.

I  was  half  sick 
all  the  time 


•  I  am  a  practical  nurse  and  for  the  bene- 
fit of  others  I  am  writing  this.  It's  no  fun 
taking  care  of  others  when  you're  half 
sick  all  the  time  from  constipation. 
Everything  I  took  for  it  either  griped  or 
left  me  completely  tired  out.  One  of  my 
doctors  suggested  I  try  FEEN-A-MINT. 
I  consider  it  the  ideal  laxative-I  don't 
have  to  worry  about  upset  stomach  and 
distress  any  more.  FEEN-A-MINT  cer- 
tainly gives  the  system  a  marvelous  and 
comfortable  clearing  out.  It's  so  easy  and 
pleasant  to  take  that  it's  wonderful  for 
children  and  saves  struggling  with  them 
when  they  need  a  laxative. 

Chewing  gives  greater  relief 

We  have  hundreds  of  letters  telling  of  the  relief 
FEEN-A-MINT  has  given  people.  It  works  more 
thoroughly  and  more  comfortably  because  you 
chew  it  and  that  spreads  the  laxative  more  evenly 
through  the  system,  giving  a  more  complete  cleans- 
ing. People  who  object  to  violent  laxatives  that 
cause  cramps  and  binding  find  FEEN-A-MINT  an 
ideal  solution  of  their  problem.  Over  15.000.000 
men  and  women  can  testify  to  the  satisfaction 
FEEN-A-MINT  gives.  And  it's  so  easy  to  take, 
with  its  refreshing  mint  flavor.  Try  it  next  time.

THE  streets  of 
broadcast-town  are 
covered    with  apple- 
sauce! Applesauce, 
soap,    the    old    oil — 
take  your  choice !  They  all  mean  the 
same  thing — praise  passed  out  by 
people  who  don't  mean  a  word  they 
say. 

Stick  your  head  in  any  door — and 
you'll  hear  it  being  served.  "I  heard 
your  broadcast  Mr.  Allen  and  you 
were  zvuh-underful !" 

W  herever  they  go,  there  it  bubbles. 
The  same  old  sing-song  everywhere. 
Some  of  it  is  honest  but  which  part 
and  how  much?  You  can't  tell. 
The  stars,  all  of  them,  have  learned 
to  smile  and  pay  no  attention. 

But  these  air  performers  are  hu- 
man— they  must  trust  someone. 
They  have  to  have  at  least  one  per- 
son of  whom  to  ask :  "How  did  I 
do?    Tell  me  the  truth." 

Phil  Baker  was  so  disturbed  by  the 
absence  of  sincerity,  that  he  came 
home  one  night  and  said  to  his  wife : 
"From  now  on — no  soap.  Don't 
spare  my  feelings.  I  can  take  it. 
If  I  can't,  it's  about  time  I  learned  to. 
I'll  take  anything  but  Yes.  I  want 
the  truth.  Tell  me  how  I  did  and 
tell  it  to  iv  2  as  if  I  were  a 
stranger.  .  .  ." 

Ever  since.  Phil  has  been  getting 
what  he  asked  for.  It's  been  painful 
at  times,  but  it's  helped  him  and  his 
program. 

It  was  Mrs.  Baker  who  told  him  to 


BY  CECIL 
S  T  U  R  G  E  S 


play  up  Beetle  more 
because  it  was  appar- 
ent to  her  that  Beetle 
was  a  great  favorite 
with  the  youngsters. 
It  was  her  own  idea,  supported  by 
conversations  she  had  with  the 
grocer,  the  butcher,  and  other  radio 
listeners.  She  told  him  to  lay  low 
on  Bottle,  because  people  get  tired  of 
character  comedy.  As  proof  there 
was  the  rise  and  fall  of  Jack  Pearl. 

During  the  broadcast  Mrs.  Phil, 
who  by  the  way  is  an.  English  lass 
with  stage  experience,  sits  in  the  con- 
trol room.  In  that  room  you  hear 
the  broadcast  about  four  times  as 
loudly  as  in  your  radio  receiver — and 
a  slip  sounds  four  times  as  bad. 

Phil  Baker's  revolt  against  hooey, 
his  demand  for  honest  criticism,  has 
its  counterpart  in  the  story  of  almost 
every  important  radio  performer. 
Lawrence  Tibbett  will  listen  to  only 
one  critic — his  wife.  She,  too,  sits 
in  the  control  room.  Before  her  a 
scratchpad  on  which  she  scribbles 
comments.  She  sends  them  to  her 
husband  by  a  page  boy. 

Between  the  control  room  and  the 
studio  the  partition  is  glass.  She  sees 
him  receive  the  note.  If  he  approves 
he  carries  out  the  suggestion.  If 
not,  he  looks  at  her  and  shakes  his 
head.  But,  be  her  criticism  harsh  or 
friendly,  he  rushes  out  when  the 
broadcast  is  over  and  embraces  the 
critic.

tainly ought  to  know  by  now  that  ivhat- 
ever  else  you  use,  you  still  need  Kleinert's 
Dress  Shields  to  feel  absolutely  safe! 


(In  the  store) 

CLEBK:  Like  all  Kleinert's  Dress  Shields 
—  these  are  guaranteed  to  protect  your 
dress  not  only  from  perspiration  but  from 
friction  and  chemical  cosmetics,  too. 


( That  evening) 

MABEL:  Bill,  I'm  really  sorry  I  was  so 
careless  last  night.  I  bought  some 
Kleinert's  Dress  Shields  today  so  I  can 
promise  you  it'll  never  happen  again. 

BILL:  That's  the  girl!  Maybe  I  can  dig  up 
enough  for  a  new  dress  now  that  I'm 
sure  you'll  get  vour  monev's  worth  out 
of  it! 


IF hatever  else  you  may  do  about  the  perspiration  problem, 
you  still  need  Kleinert's  Dress  Shields.  They  have  no  "in-between"  days  — they 
are  always  on  the  job  protecting  your  dresses  from  friction  and  perspiration 
chemicals  as  well  as  from  the  moisture  itself.  You  can  buy  genuine  Kleinert's 
protection  for  as  little  as  25c  a  pair,  or  indulge  yourself  a  bit  more  for  Kleinert's 
Blue  Label  Shields  which  are  specially  treated  to  make  them  BOILVBLE.

MRS.  ELY  CULBERTSON  says:  "Sticky  hand 
lotions  are  i m p o- - i  1  >  1< •  for  bridge  play- 
ers. I  use  Pari|uiii'-  all  the  time  be- 
cause I  don't  have  to  wait  for  it  to  dry.'' 


MRS.  FRANK  BUCK  says:  'Tropical  coun- 
tries are  dreadfully  hard  on  the  hands. 
Mine  would  be  leathery  if  I  didn't  use 
Pacquin's.  It's  so  quick  and  sure." 


MRS.  JOHN  HELD,  JR.,  says:  "Naturally,  I 
want  my  hands  attractive.  It's  won- 
derful how  white  and  smooth  Pac- 
quin's keeps  busy  hands." 

Women  with  lots  to  do  find  that 
Pacquin's  saves  them  time  and  keeps  their 
hands  lovelier.  There's  no  more  waiting  for 
a  sticky  hand  lotion  to  dry— Pacquin's  Hand 
Cream  goes  right  into  your  skin,  without 
leaving  any  greasy  or  sticky  film— you  can  put 
your  gloves  on  the  next  minute  if  you  want. 
And  Pacquin's  gives  you  such  smooth  and 
soft  hands— younger  looking, more  appealing.

'All  I  want  is  life!" 
says  Frank  Luther. 


TO   HELL  lAflTM 


BY  O 
M  A 


WHAT  do  you  want 
out  of  life?  What  do 
you  want  five  years, 
ten  years  from  now? 
Travel?  Romance?  Independence?  A 
nest  egg  ?  Sum  it  up  in  one  word : 
happiness. 

Almost  all  of  us  are  searching  for 
happiness.  In  moments  of  bitter- 
ness, in  hours  of  deep  privation  and 
loss,  when  it  seems  as  if  life  has  hit 
us  below  the  belt,  the  one  thing  that 
sustains  us  is  the  hope  that  some  day 
we  may  find  happiness  again. 

I  know  of  only  one  man  on  Radio 
Row  who  isn't  looking  for  happiness. 
Who  wouldn't  know  what  to  do  with 
it  if  you  gave  it  to  him  on  a  silver 
platter.  Frank  Luther.  You've 
heard  him  singing  with  the  Men 
About  Town,  you've  heard  him  on 
the  Hillbilly  Heart-throbs  program, 
and  you've  heard  him  on  the  air  in 
the  unique  program  called  Your 
Lover. 

He's  been  called  the  busiest  tenor 
in  radio,  and  I  daresay  he  is,  for  the 
day  isn't  long  enough  to  consume  all 
his  energy,  just  as  life  isn't  long 
enough  for  all  the  things  he  wants  to 
do. 

Never  have  I  met  anyone  with 
such  a  superabundance  of  energy  and 
vitality.  He  crowds  about  twenty 
hours  of  living  into  a  day,  and  bit- 
terlv  grudges  the  fact  that  he  must 


GDEN 
Y  E  R 


waste  a  few  hour 
each  night  in  sleep. 

He    said    to  me 
"I'm    not  contented 
I'm  not  happy.  I'm  not  searching  fo 
happiness.  All  I  want  is  life.  I  wag 
to  live  as  intensely  as  possible. 

Any  other  man,  if  he  had  facet 
what  Frank  Luther  once  faced,  wouli 
probably  have  put  a  knife  to  hi 
throat  and  ended  his  misery.  Franl 
Luther  rose  to  a  place  on  the  lad 
der  of  success,  saw  his  happies 
dreams  fulfilled,  and  then,  when 
golden  future  loomed  before  him 
was  dashed  into  a  black,  bottomles 
pit  of  despair. 

This  is  how  it  happened :  In  1927 
after  years  of  hardship  and  painfu 
struggle,  Frank  had  got  a  job  sing 
ing  with  the  Revelers.  It  was  th« 
climax  of  all  his  dreams,  of  his  year 
of  poverty  and  struggle,  trying  t< 
support  his  mother  and  three  sisters 
Xow  at  last,  success !  Hundreds  am 
hundreds  of  dollars  a  week. 

Then  the  Revelers  went  to  Europe 
and  took  London  by  storm.  Frank 
proud,  cocky,  happy,  a  simple  bo; 
from  a  cattle  ranch  in  Kansas  wa 
singing  before  the  Prince  of  Wales 
Dukes  and  duchesses  and  nobleme: 
vied  with  each  other  to  entertain  th 
Revelers.  Europe  went  mad  abou 
them.

If  you  would  be 
blooming  when 
the  Easter  lilies 
bud,  take  your 
beauty  inventory 
now! 

BY  MARY  BIDDLE 


The  Lane  sisters,  Rosemary  (left)  and 
Priscilla  (right)   whose   beauty   is  the 
talk  of  Radio  Row. 


THEY'RE  "NATURALS,"  Rosemary  and  Priscilla 
Lane !  And  that  strikes  a  pretty  high  note  in  the  beauty 
scale  as  a  compliment.  You've  heard  them  sing  with 
Fred  Waring  and  his  Pennsylvanians,  so  although  you 
may  not  have  been  eye-conscious  of  them  except  now  and 
then  through  a  photograph  in  Radio  Stars,  you  certain- 
ly have  been  ear-conscious  of  them. 

It  is  always  fun  to  meet  the  people  behind  the  voices 
behind  the  mike,  and  naturally  I  am  always  eager  to  meet 
feminine  voice-charmers  to  see  if  their  beauty  is  skin- 
deep  as  well  as  microphone-deep.  I  had  a  chat  with  Rose- 
mary and  Priscilla  at  the  Fred  Waring  studios  in  the 
Music  Hall  Building  in  New  York.  Rosemary  is  the  dark- 
haired  sister,  and  Priscilla  the  blonde,  but  both  have  eyes 
as  deep  blue  as  larkspur.  Rosemary  is  the  older,  but 
even  she  isn't  old  enough  to  vote.  However,  they're  both 
old  enough  to  know  their  own  minds  about  life  in  general 
and  common-sense  beauty  in  particular.  And  their  ideas 
seem  to  be  as  much  in  harmony  as  their  voices. 

Sometimes  I  think  the  youngsters  who  manage  to  crash 
Hollywood  in  their  'teens  are  unfortunate  in  one  way ; 
they  get  self-conscious  about  their  faces.  Radio  stars  have 
greater  opportunity  for  being  natural.  The  microphone  is 
always  there  to  make  them  voice-conscious,  but  there  are 
no  camera  and  glaring  lights  to  make  them  conscious  of 
every  bit  of  make-up,  every  lock  of  hair,  and  every  facial 
expression. 

Both  Rosemary  and  Priscilla  are  wearing  teeth  straight- 
ening braces.  It  takes  a  lot  of  courage  and  grit  to  have 
10 


one's  teeth  straightened  after  the  growing-up  stage  has 
passed,  and  I  think  the  Lane  sisters  are  tremendously 
plucky.  They  are  having  it  done  because  teeth  are  so 
important  photographically :  under  ordinary  circumstances 
it  wouldn't  have  been  necessary,  as  their  teeth  were  in  ' 
need  of  such  very  slight  correction.  I  suspect  them  of  hav- 
ing designs  on  Hollywood,  as  their  big  sister,  Lola  Lane, 
is  a  screen  star. 

If  you  don't  intend  to  crash  the  Hollywood  gates,  or 
be  a  television  star,  remember  it  is  more  important  that 
your  teeth  be  clean  and  white  and  healthy  than  that  they 
be  photographically  straight.  Teeth  are  not  supposed  to 
be  perfectly  matched  pearls,  so  if  yours  are  not  un- 
pleasantly crooked,  don't  worry  about  them,  for  braces 
take  a  long  time.  If  they  are  so  crooked  as  to  distort  the  j 
shape  of  your  mouth,  and  you're  still  young  enough — the 
younger  the  better — then  I  should  spare  neither  pain 
nor  expense  to  have  them  straightened  by  a  reliable 
dentist.  And  choose  and  use  a  toothpaste  that  is  c!eans:ng 
and  yet  free  from  grit,  all  you  who  would  have  white 
and  sparkling  teeth. 

Rosemary  and  Priscilla  both  said,  when  we  began  talk- 
ing about  make-up,  that  they  cordially  detest  eyebrows 
plucked  to  a  scanty  line  or  an  unnatural  shape.  Tl.ey 1 
think  that  fairly  heavy  decisive  brows  are  beauty  assets. 
Train  your  eyebrows  with  a  brush  rather  than  with 
tweezers,  except  for  those  few  untidy  hairs  that  have  to 
be  taken  out  by  the  roots.  Neat  but  natural,  that  sums  u» 
the  eyebrow  situation  for  the  Lane  {Continued  on  page  86)  i

"Careless  little 
bride!" 

SAID  TATTLE -TALE  GRAY 

It  had  been  the  first  big  party  in  her 
own  new  home — she  had  been  so 
thrilled— but  suddenly  she  saw  a  guest 
eyeing  her  tablecloth— and  that  criti- 
cal glance  ruined  her  evening. 

Why  did  her  clothes  have  that  rattle- 
tale  gray  look?  She  always  worked  hard 
over  her  washes— but  why  must  she 
seem  so  careless? 

Then  next  day,  she  found 
the  answer  .  .  .

The  thing  that  robs  your  clothes  of  their 
nice  fresh  whiteness,  a  friend  told  the 
bride,  is  left-over  dirt — and  there's  one 
sure  way  to  get  out  ALL  the  dirt. 


Another  nice  thing  this  bride  learned 
about  Fels-Njptha — it's  perfectly  saje  for 
daintiest  things.  And  kind  to  hands — 
there's  soothing  glycerine  in  every  bar. 


Just  try  it!  Give  Fels-Naptha  Soap  a 
chance  at  your  own  wash.  \ou'll  get  the 
sweetest,  sunniest  clothes  that  ever 
bobbed  on  a  line. 

Whitest,  too — because  they're  clean 
clear  through!  "Trick"  soaps  and  cheap 


That  way  is  to  use  Fels-Naptha  — for  it's 
made  of  golden  soap  that's  richer — and 
there's  lots  of  dirt-loosening  naptha  right 
in  it.  You  can  smell  the  naptha. 


and  there's  never  a  hint  of  tattle-tale  gray- 
to  make  people  think  she's  careless! 

soaps  skim  over  dirt — they  leave  specks 
behind.  Bui  Fels-Naptha  gets  ALL  THE 
DIRT — even  the  grimiest,  ground-in  kind. 
Fels-Naptha  now  sells  at  the  lowest 


price  in  almost  twenty  years.  Get 
a  few  bars  at  your  grocer's  today.

WHEN  we  tell  you  that  46  million 
people  bought  Ex-Lax  last  year  we 
aren't  just  bragging.  And  we  aren't  talking 
about  ourselves  . .  .  but  about  you  and  a 
problem  of  yours! 

Here's  why  it  is  important  to  you.  Occa- 
sionally you  need  a  laxative  to  relieve  con- 
stipation. You  want  the  best  relief  you  can 
get .  .  .  thorough,  pleasant,  painless. 

And  when  46  million  people  find  that 
one  certain  laxative  gives  them  the  best 
relief  .  .  .  well  that  laxative  must  be  good. 
When  46  million  people  agree  on  one 
thing,  there  must  be  something  about  it  that 
is  different .  .  .  and  better. 

Why  America  buys  tnore 
Ex-Lax  than  any  other  laxative 

Here  are  the  reasons:  People  realize  more 
and  more  how  bad  it  is  to  blase  the  system 
with  harsh  laxatives.  Ex-Lax  is  as  thorough 
as  any  laxative  you  can  take,  yet  it  is  gentle. 
Unlike  harsh  laxatives,  it  won't  cause  stom- 
ach pains,  it  won't  upset  you,  it  won't  leave 
you  feeling  weak  afterwards.  People  realize 
that  habit-forming  laxatives  are  bad.  And 
they  have  found  that  Ex-Lax  doesn't  form  a 
habit— you  don't  have  to  keep  on  increasing 
the  dose  to  get  results.  People  hate  nasty- 
tasting  medicines.  Ex-Lax  is  a  pleasure  to 


take  ...  for  everybody  likes  the  taste  of 
delicious  chocolate. 

That  "Certain  Something" 

There's  something  else  these  millions  of 
Ex-Lax  users  find  in  Ex-Lax.  A  "certain 
something"  beyond  the  facts  just  listed.  It 
can't  be  described  in  words,  or  pictures.  But 
it's  there.  It  is  the  ideal  combination  of  all 
these  Ex-Lax  qualities,  combined  in  the  exclu- 
sive Ex-Lax  way.  Once  you  try  Ex-Lax  you'll 
understand.  And  nothing  else  will  ever  do. 

Ex-Lax  comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  — at 
any  drug  store.  If  you  would  like  a  free

THE       CHOCOLATED  LAXATIVE

Three  women  had 
failed  to  make  him 
happy!  It  was  a 
challenge  to  Mar-

OW  would  you  feel  if  you 
fell  in  love  with  a  man  who 
had  been  married  three  times 
before  he  ever  met  you? 
\\  ould  you  dare  undertake 
the  job  of  making  that  man 
happy — a  job  at  which  three 
women  had  failed? 

That  was  the  challenge  that 
life  handed  .Margaret  Living- 
ston when  she  fell  in  love  with  Paul  Whitenian. 
Paul  Whiteman,  who  had  said  when  his  third 
marriage  collapsed  :  "I'm  married  to  a  dance  band. 
I'll  never  marry  again.  I've  been  a  fLp  in  my 
private  life." 

And  Margaret  Livingston,  what  thoughts  raced 
through  her  mind  as  she  stood  in  front  of  her 
mirror  trying  on  her  exquisite  satin  bridal  gown  ? 
Did  she  hesitate?  Did  she  wonder  what  faults 
in  Paul  had  caused  the  failure  of  those  other 
marriages? 

She  wouldn't  have  been  human  if  she  hadn't. 
She  wouldn't  have  been  the  fine,  intelligent  woman 
she  is  if  she  hadn't  said  to  herself :  "The  thing 
couldn't  have  been  entirely  their  fault.  .  .  .  One 
marriage  might  have  failed  because  the  wife  was 
almost  entirclv  at  fault.  But  not  three  marriages! 
Paul  must  have  been  partlv  to  blame." 

That  first  marriage  of  Paul's — to  a  little  chorus 
girl  when  he  was  a  boy  of  eighteen — she  couldn't 
hold  that  against  him.  She  knew  only  too  well 
that  at  that  age  a  boy  often  doesn't  know  his 
own  mind,  that  he  is  easily  swept  away  by  his 
emotions.  And  she  knew  what  had  happened  to 
wreck  his  second  marriage  to  "Jimmy"  Smith. 
The  War  had  come  along,  and  Paul  had  enli  ted. 
to  find  at  the  end  of  the  War  that  the  wife  he 
came  back  to  was  almost  like  a  stranger  to  him. 
that  they  no  longer  spoke  the  same  language  or 
thought  the  same  thoughts  or  shared  the  same 
dreams. 

FOR  his  third  wife,  Yanda  Hoff.  Whiteman  had 
nothing  but  praise.  "She's  a  wonderful  girl," 
he  told  Margaret  Livingston.  "I'm  sure  if  you 
met  her.  you  two  would  like  each  other." 

No  bitterness  there.  Then,  why  in  heaven's 
name,  had  that  niarriage  failed?  How  could  Mar- 
garet save  her  marriage  from  the  same  pitfalls? 

She  thought  she  knew  the  answer.  Paul  was 
right  in  saying  that  he  had  been  married  to  a 
jazz  band.  He  had  been  on  the  road  for  five 
years  consecutively ;  he  had  lived  in  one  hotel 
after  another ;  and  he  never  had  had  a  home. 

There  was  one  thing  that  she,  Margaret  Liv- 
ingston, must  do.  Little  by  little  she  must  wean 
him  from  his  band.  Xot  entirely,  of  course.  That 
would  be  absurd,  for  a  man  of  Paul  Whiteman's 
tremendous  vitality  would  have  been  wretched 
without  his  work.  But  if  >he  wanted  to  keep 
him,  if  she  wanted  their  marriage  to  last,  she 
must  give  him  a  home  that  .was  a  place  of  peace 
and  tranquillity,  that  would  be  a  beacon  light 
beckoning  to  him  no  matter  where  he  was. 

And  how  was  she  to  accomplish  this?  Well, 
the  first  thing  to  do  was  to  give  Paul  a  stake  in 
his  home. 

In  their  home  there  would  be  the  furniture 
Paul  cared  about,  the  armchairs  he  loved  to  loll 
in.  the  tables  he  was  crazy  about — yes.  even  the 
kind  of  candlesticks  he  wanted. 

Most  women,  on  marrying  a  man  as  wealthy 
as  Paul,  would  have  insisted  on  throwing  out  all 


his  old  furniture  and  buying  sets  of  furniture 
that  suited  them.  But  not  Margaret.  She  had 
had  an  apartment  in  Hollywood;  Paul  had  had 
one  in  New  York.  Into  the  home  in  which  they 
were  to  begin  their  life  together  she  brought 
some  of  her  favorite  furniture,  but  more  of  Paul's. 
If  he  was  wild  about  something,  into  their  new 
home  it  went.  She  asked  him  about  the  colors 
for  each  room.  When  she  bought  linens  she'd 
have  three  or  four  samples  sent  home  so  that  she 
could  ask  Paul  which  he  liked  best.  The  same 
with  silverware  and  doilies  and  antiques.  And 
she  listened  to  his  preferences  and  followed  them. 

YOU  m'ght  think  a  man  like  Paul  Whiteman, 
with  all  the  million  things  he  had  to  worrv 
about,  would  be  annoyed  by  being  bothered  with 
such  petty  details.  But  Paul  was  immensely  Mat- 
tered. He  became  so  interested  in  interior  dec- 
oration that  he  began  to  observe  things  in  other 
people's  houses.  Sometimes  he  would  embarrass 
Margaret  by  walking  over  to  some  couch  and  feel- 
ing the  material  used  to  cover  it.  Never  before 
had  he  noticed  such  things.  When  he  returned 
home  from  some  visit  he  would  say:  "Did  you 
see  those  lovely  doilies  and  that  fine  silver?"  And 
his  appreciation  for  the  beautiful  things  in  his  own 
home  mounted. 

"A  mistake  many  women  make,"  Margaret  Liv- 
ingston told  me,  "is  in  selecting  all  their  furni- 
ture and  household  things  themselves.  In  that 
way  they  shove  their  husbands  into  the  back- 
ground until  the  poor  men  feel  that  thev  have  no 
place  in  the  homes  their  wives  have  furnished." 

But  problems  arose,  of  course.  There  was,  for 
instance,  the  valet  who  threw  ashes  all  over  the 
furniture. 

"Darling,  don't  you  think  he's  rather  careless?" 
Margaret  asked  Paul. 

"He  suits  me,"  said  Paul.  "He's  been  with  me 
for  five  years." 

"But  he  burns  holes  in  our  furniture." 

"He's  been  like  a  mother  to  me!  I  can't  fire 
him.  And  where  would  I  get  another  valet  who'd 
suit  me?  You  know  I  can't  bear  to  have  most 
people  come  near  me.  Either  they  try  to  do  too 
much,  or  they  don't  do  enough!" 

"Okay."  said  Margaret  cheerfully.  "I'll  act  as 
your  valet  till  you  get  one  that  suits  you." 

So  the  man  was  fired.  And  Margaret  promptly 
began  to  valet  Paul.  But,  oh.  what  a  job!  She 
had  to  be  up  at  seven  o'clock  every  mprning. 
There  were  dozens  and  dozens  of  suits  to  be 
laid  out.  Collar  buttons  to  be  fastened.  Ties, 
ties.  ties.  And  everything  tossed  helter-skelter 
about  the  place. 

THEN  one  evening,  when  Paul  Whiteman  had 
a  personal  appearance  to  make  at  a  theatre  and 
had  allowed  himself  only  five  minutes  to  dress, 
the  catastrophe  happened.  Margaret  laid  out  the 
wrong  trousers.  Dress  trousers  to  go  with  his 
tuxedo!  Paul  Whiteman  walked  to  the  mirror, 
took  one  look,  and  started  tearing  the  clothes  off. 
and  yelling  blue  murder! 

At  first  Margaret  was  horrified.  This  was  the 
first  time  she  had  seen  Paul  in  a  tantrum.  What 
was  she  to  do?  How  was  she  to  stop  this  storm 
and  keep  their  married  life  from  becoming  a  suc- 
cession of  such  scenes?  Then  she  had  an  in- 
spiration. 

"Darling."  she  said  in  her  most  dulcet  tones, 
"I  never  knew  till  now  (Continued  on  page  89)

Radio's  supposed  to  be  the  great  peace  maker.  Uh-liuli! 

Some  very  great  men  have  said  that  with  radios  in  our 
homes  we're  all  going  to  sing  ring-around-the-rosy  and 
play  ducky-lucky.  No  more  fights.  No  more  quarrels  be- 
cause Mom  wants  to  see  Clark  Gable  make  hot  love  and 
Pop  wants  to  see  Primo  Camera  pound 
Max  Baer  to  a  pulp.  Mom  and  Pop 
will  both  sit  home.  Mom  will  listen  to 
Bing  Crosby  and  Pop  to  the  prize  fights. 
Sweet  bliss ! 

Radio's  going  to  knit  families  closer 
together,  making  gadabout  Amy  stay 
at  home  every  night.  It's  going  to  make 
the  infants  coo  more  sweetly  and  keep 
the  younger  generation  from  going  on

day are  going  to  become  Alice-sit-by- 
the-fire  girls,  smiling  sweetly  as  they 
listen  to  choice  symphony  orchestras. 

But — remember  what  happened  the 
other  night ! 

You  were  sitting  in  the  parlor  enter- 
taining your  very  best  boy  friend.  The 
lights  were  turned  low.  And  you  were 
holding  hands.  You'd  just  about  got 
John  to  the  point  of  popping  the  ques- 
tion, when  in  burst  Brother  Sammy 
(dear,  dear  Sammy!)  and  he  turned  on 
the  lights  and  turned  on  the  radio  to 
the  hottest,  jazziest  band  he  could  find.

You  didn't  punch  Sammy  in  the  nose.  Probably  yoj 
wanted  to  in  the  worst  way.  But  you  also  wanted  you] 
best  beau  to  keep  right  on  thinking  you  had  the  sweete;1

then  vice-president  of  the  National  Broadcasting  Com- 
pany. Her  grounds?  "Life  in  our  household  was  just  one 
round  of  buni  jokes  after  another!'' 

It  seems  her  husband  kept  inviting  to  their  home  the 
comedians  who  performed  on  his  broadcasting  circuit, 
and  they  repeated  their  latest  radio  jokes.  She  found 
them  not  nearly  so  funny  in  her  Park  avenue  home  as 
on  the  airialto.  Amos  'n'  Andy  were  just  plain  bores  to 
her,  she  said.    "And  my  husband  thought  they  were

funny!"  she  added  plaintively,  as  if  it  were  incredible! 

Amos  'n'  Andy  weren't  the  only  radio  entertainers 
who  bored  her,  she  asserted.  But  they  were  the  worst. 
On  one  occasion  her  English  butler  was  so  disgusted  with 
their  jokes  that  he  threatened  to  leave. 

She  got  her  divorce. 

Mrs.  Marian  Hahn,  twenty-one,  also  of  Chicago,  had

MISSOURI  GIRL 

An  understudy  yesterday,  a  leading  lady  of  Sigmund  Romberg's  show  today!  When  a  prominent  prima 
donna  suddenly  became  ill,  Helen  Marshall  was  on  the  spot  to  take  her  place.  In  this  fairy  fashion  Lady 
Luck  chose  to  make  this  little  blue-eyed  girl  from  Joplin  a  star.    Previous  to  this  Helen  was  a  script  girl. 


Out  of  old,  romantic  Mexico  came  Tito  Guizar  determined  to  win  fame 
with  his  songs.  His  parents  had  other  ideas.  It  took  seve-al  years  of 
sending  him  to  medical  school  to  convince  them  that  it  would  be 
much  wiser  to  give  in.  When  they  finally  did,  success  was  only  a 
step  away  for  this  tenor,  who  has  been  serenading  via  the  air  since  '29.

Cream  does  more  for  their  hands.  This  is  why:  Hinds

penetrating — as  you  smooth  it  in,  it  soaks  the  skin 
with  soothing  healing  balms.  Hinds  Honey  and 
Almond  Cream  works  deeply — that's  why  dry,  rough 
or  chapped  hands  quickly  become  smooth ! 

Every  time  your#hands  feel  dry  and  drawn,  rub  in 
a  little  Hinds.  It  supplies  the  skin  with  beautifying 
oils  to  replace  skin-oils  stolen  by  soap  suds,  March 
winds,  housework.  And  always  Hinds  at  night — to 
keep  your  hands  thrillingly  smooth.  Economical!  Big

4  YM^tS  OF 

BY    JOHN  SKINNER 


GRACE  MOORE  felt  that  she  was  falling  in  love ! 
^^^^H  And  she  was  annoyed  at  the  tall,  grave  Latin  who 
^^^^H  had  stooped  to  pick  up  the  deck  quoit  she  had 
^^^^H  dropped.  She  knew  he  had  been  watching  her  ever 
^^^^H  since  she  had  boarded  the  ship  the  day  before.  .  .  . 
^^^^H  Opera  star  and  actress,  she  knew,  too,  how  per- 

^^^^H  feet  was  the  setting  for  romance.  The  decks  of 
^^^^H  the  liner  lie  de  France  swayed  slightly  under  her 
^^^^H  feet  as  the  great  ship  thrust  through  the  Atlantic 
^^^^H  toward  Europe.  A  Spring  sea  wind  billowed  her 
^^^^H       sports  dress  about  her,  tumbled  gold  wisps  of  hair 

about  her  forehead. 

■^^^^g  At  that  moment,  could  she  have  looked  into  the 

I  future,  she  would  have  seen  Grace  Moore,  the  tri- 
I  umphant  star  of  '.'One  Xight  of  Love"  .  .  .  Grace 
I  Moore  singing  love  songs,  with  convincing  fervor. 
I  on  Tuesday  night  network  broadcasts  .  .  .  Grace 
I  Moore  about  to  embark  on  "Four  Years  of  Love." 
She  would  not  have  seen  the  Grace  who  had 
d  had  the  courage  to  change  her  mind — to  say  "No" 
to  at  least  three  wealthy  lovers  whom  she  had 
promised  to  marry !  Close  to  thirty,  close  to  the 
pinnacle  of  achievement  and  freedom  for  which  she 
had  fought,  she  was  falling  in  love  on  an  ocean 
trip  like  a  sentimental  schoolgirl ! 

It  was  May,  1931.  Twenty-four  hours  before, 
ascending  the  gangplank  at  New  York,  she  had 
seen,  for  the  first  time,  the  man  who  now  stood 
before  her.  And  with  great  conviction  she  had 
turned  to  her  secretary  and  said :  "That  is  the  man 
I  am  going  to  marry!" 

The  secretary,  knowing  Grace  Moore,  the  woman 
who  had  renounced  more  than  one  suitor  on  ap- 
pointed wedding  days,  chuckled.  And  Grace,  her- 
self, had  been  surprised  at  her  own  words. 

But  now,  as  she  looked  deep  into  the  eyes  of  the 
man  who  held  out  the  quoit  to  her,  she  felt  a  tremor 
in  her  breast. 

"Thank  you."  she  said  quietly. 
The  man  flashed  a  smile,  brilliant  white  against 
the  deep  tan  of  his  skin,  bowed,  and  swung  away. 

At  dinner  that  evening,  she  found  herself  being 
seated  at  the  Captain's  table.  Opposite  her  sat 
the  charming  stranger.  She  knew  from  the  glance 
he  flashed  at  her  that  he  must  have  arranged  it. 

"Miss  Moore,"  Captain  Hlancart  said,  "permit 
me  to  present  Senor  Valentin  Parera.    He  has  just 


returned  from  Hollywood,  where  he  has  been  mak- 
ing Spanish  versions  of  American  films.  He  is 
going  back  to  his  Spain,  where  the  people  acclaim 
him  as  the  Ronald  Colman  of  the  country." 

"When  Valentino  was  alive,"  Parera  replied 
lightly  in  French,  "I  used  to  be  called  the  Valen- 
tino of  Spain.  When  John  Gilbert  was  a  screen 
hero,  I  was  the  Gilbert  of  my  country !  You, 
Captain,  should  spend  your  time  speaking  of  a 
woman  with  as  great  an  individual  identity  as' 
Madame  Moore !" 

It  was  a  very  gay  meal.  Grace  could  speak  only 
English  and  French.  Valentin  could  speak  only 
Spanish  and  French.  They  conversed  in  French. 
They  joked  in  French.  But  under  her  gayety 
Grace  felt  troubled.  She  knew  that  she  really  had 
meant  what  she  had  said  to  her  secretary!  She 
wanted  this  man.    Nothing  else  mattered ! 

After  dinner  Valentin  took  Grace's  arm  and  led 
her  out  on  deck.  For  a  long  time  they  stood  by 
the  rail,  silently  watching  the  moon  tip  the  never- 
ending  waves  with  white  gold,  watching  it  make 
silver  froth  of  the  ship's  wake. 

He  spoke  to  her  softly  in  French.  His  voice 
trembled. 

"I  thought  my  life  had  been  deep  and  impas- 
sioned," Grace  mused,  when  he  fell  silent.  "Now 
it  seems  as  light  and  fleeting  as  the  foam  back- 
there." 

Valentin  sang  his  song  of  love.  Grace  listened, 
enraptured.  At  last,  reluctantly,  they  parted,  lost 
in  a  cloud  of  moonglow  unreality. 

When  Grace  awoke  hours  later,  the  air  in  her 
stateroom  was  oppressive.  She  slipped  on  a  neg- 
ligee and  went  to  the  port,  swinging  it  open.  The 
moon  had  sunk  and  the  sea  was  dark.  Only  an 
indefinite  pulsing  from  the  ship's  engines  and  the 
whispering  lap  of  the  ,/aves  told  her  she  was  really 
on  a  vessel  bound  for  France. 

The  spell  of  the  moonglow  and  Valentin's  arms 
had  gone.  The  keen  sea  air  cut  into  her  conscious- 
ness, made  her  bitterly  aware  of  past  loves.  Why 
had  she  let  herself  indulge  in  those  brief  affairs? 
Valentin  was  a  Spaniard.  I^atins  were  jealous — 
unreasoning  often.  .  .  .  He  might  not  understand! 
Why  hadn't  she  waited  for  him.  instead  of  lightly- 
making  and  breaking  (Continued  on  page  72)

and  husband  of  the  tempera-

BY  DORA  ALBERT 


THE  WILD,  WILD  BENNETTS  they  have  been  called 
— those  three  glamorous  daughters  of  Richard  Bennett — 
Constance,  Joan  and  Barbara. 

Of  them  all,  Barbara,  the  wife  of  Morton  Downey,  is 
quite  the  most  domesticated.  When  Morton  announced 
to  the  press  that  he  wanted  twelve  children,  including  a 
pair  of  twins,  Barbara  beamed  and  said,  "I  guess  if  Mor- 
ton wants  them  I  can  handle  them." 

Today  they  live  the  simple  life  of  suburbanites  in  their 
home  in  Greenwich,  Connecticut.  Of  nothing  is  Barbara 
prouder  than  of  her  three  children,  a  son,  a  baby  daughter, 
and  an  adopted  son,  Michael.  "Don't  you  miss  your 
career?"  a  reporter  once  asked  Barbara.  "Good  heavens, 
no,"  she  said  shocked.  "I  have  a  much  better  career 
now.    I'm  a  hausfrau." 

Imagine  such  a  statement  coming  from  a  daughter  of 
those  two  exciting  and  temperamental  people.  Richard 
Bennett  and  Adrienne  Morrison !  No  wonder  that  they 
call  Barbara  "the  tame  Bennett." 

It  wasn't  always  thus.  Once  when  she  was  sixteen  and 
the  world  was  fair  and  gay  and  young  and  Barbara  was 
slowly  coming  alive,  she  was  a  thing  of  tempest  and  fire 
and  passion.  No  man  could  tame  the  fiery  spirit  that 
flamed  in  her  dark  eyes  and  expressed  itself  in  the  faun- 
like grace  of  her  dancing  figure.  No  man  till  Morton 
Downey  came  along. 

Her  own  father  tried  and  failed.  Maurice,  a  dancer 
famous  in  two  continents,  tried  and  went  down  to  ignomini- 
ous defeat.  All  his  life  he  was  to  hate  this  girl  he  tried  to 
tame  and  rule  and  who  in  the  end  made  a  laughing  stock 
28 


of  him  along  the  Riviera,  in  Paris  and  the  Great  White 
Lane  of  Broadway. 

But  before  1  tell  you  more  about  Barbara,  let's  take  a 
look  at  Morton  Downey,  who  was  to  tame  the  proud, 
fierce  spirit  of  this  girl,  who  was  to  woo  her  and  win 
her  and  convince  her  that  there  was  more  happiness  in 
bringing  up  a  family  than  there  was  in  dancing  before 
the  Crowned  Heads  of  Europe. 

Well  fitted  for  the  role  of  taming  Barbara  was  young 
Morton,  himself  as  gay  and  carefree  a  young  Irish  lad 
as  ever  drove  a  poor  family  crazy.  Morton's  parents  didn't 
know  what  to  do  with  the  boy.  Why  couldn't  he  keep  out 
of  mischief,  his  father  thundered  at  him.  Wasn't  it 
enough  trouble  to  provide  the  bread  for  six  mouths  with- 
out having  to  worry  continually  about  the  scrapes  into 
which  Morton  was  constantly  getting? 

Right  at  the  start  of  his  career  Morton  was  kicked  out 
of  school  in  Wallingford,  Connecticut,  for  turning  in  a 
fake  fire  alarm. 

As  chipper  as  though  nothing  had  happened,  he  set 
about  looking  for  work.  Any  kind  of  work.  And  found 
it.  He  did  everything  from  clerking  in  a  meat  market 
to  selling  insurance.  But  in  each  job  that  he  tried  he 
failed.  Always  he  was  in  trouble ;  always  in  hot  water. 

All  this  young  Morton's  family  forgave.  But  when  he 
got  a  job  driving  a  truck  for  a  furniture  store,  they 
begged  him  to  be  careful.  "Can't  you  for  once  in  your 
life  hold  down  a  job  for  a  few  months  without  getting 
fired?"  his  father  begged  him. 

"I'll  try,"  he  promised,  really  meaning  it  at  the  time.

Jackson 


What  amazing  power  did  Morton  Downey 
wield  that  made  this  stormy  girl  surrender? 


But  his  mind  was  on  other  things.  One  day  he  had  a 
brass  bed  to  deliver  and  he  carelessly  neglected  to  tie  it 
down  firmly.  W  hen  he  turned  the  truck  around,  there 
was  a  sudden  crash,  and  the  brass  bed  tumbled  down.  By 
the  time  he  delivered  it  there  were  more  dents  in  it  than 
there  is  rice  in  China,  and  Morton  was  fired. 

This  time  his  father  was  really  furious.  "Didn't  I  warn 
you  to  be  careful?"  he  roared.  "Here  you  had  a  really 
swell  job — and  at  eighteen  dollars  a  week.  You'll  prob- 
ably never  in  your  life  make  as  much  money  as  that 
again.  If  you  don't  watch  out.  youU  wind  up  selling 
penny  whistles  from  door  to  door." 

While  the  Downeys  were  prophesying  that  young  Mor- 
ton would  come  to  no  good  end.  Richard  Bennett  was  go- 
ing crazy  trying  to  tame  young  Barbara.  For  when  he 
and  his  wife  separated.  Constance  went  to  live  with  her 
mother  and  Barbara  with  her  father.  After  a  short  time 
Richard  Bennett  confessed  that  Barbara  was  too  much  for 
him.  and  back  she  landed  with  her  mother.  He  had 
threatened  to  spank  her  when  she  came  home  late,  and 
Barbara  had  appealed  to  a  policeman  for  protection. 
Although  the  case  was  promptly  dismissed.  Richard  had 
had  enough. 

When  she  was  seventeen.  Maurice,  a  world-famous 
dancer,  discovered  Barbara  and  promised  to  train  her. 
Such  beauty  and  grace  as  hers  he  had  not  seen  in  a  long 
time,  in  fact  since  Leonora  Hughes,  whom  he  loved,  had 
deserted  him  to  marry  the  young  Argentine  millionaire. 
Carlos  Bassauldo.  Bitterly  he  had  wept  at  her  wedding 
and  vowed  to  himself  that  he  would  show  the  world  that 


it  was  he  who  was  the  great  dancer  and  not  Leonora.  He 
would  take  a  young,  untrained  girl  and  make  of  her  a 
reed  that  would  bend  to  his  will,  a  dancer  whose  fame 
would  crown  his  fame  with  greater  glory.  Barbara  was 
the  girl  he  chose. 

Together,  carefully  chaperoned,  they  went  to  Paris, 
where  gowns  were  especially  created  for  her.  where  she 
was  told  what  to  do  and  what  not  to  do.  what  hours  to 
save  for  dancing,  what  hours  to  spend  at  the  opera,  which 
nights  to  spend  at  the  theatre. 

Against  these  orders  she  strenuously  rebelled.  What 
did  this  man  in  his  middle  forties  know  of  life  and  of 
youth?  How  dare  he  order  her,  a  Bennett,  around? 

Paris  went  to  her  head  like  wine.  All  around  her  were 
laughter  and  fun.  and  she  would  have  her  share  Of  it. 
And  as  her  companion,  whom  do  you  suppose  she  chose? 
Louis  Bassauldo.  brother  of  that  same  Bassauldo  who  had 
stolen  Leonora  Hughes  from  Maurice! 

THAT  to  Maurice  was  the  crowning  insult.  "Of  all  the 
people  in  the  world  why  do  you  have  to  have  your 
name  linked  with  his?"  he  stormed.  In  the  gay  capitals 
of  the  Old  World  j>eople  were  laughing  and  jeering  at 
him. 

For  a  moment  Barbara  softened.  She  cared  nothing 
for  Bassauldo;  he  was  simply  a  grand  person  to  dance 
with.    So  she  promised  to  give  him  up. 

No  longer  were  they  seen  together  at  smart  cafes. 
Maurice  was  triumphant.  So  he  thought.  They  opened 
at  the  Lido.  They  fulfilled  an  {Continued  an  page  64) 


"Don't  Go  Till  I  Come  Back!"  Frank 
Parker  Urged.    And  Dorothy  Waited 


WHITELY  FLETCHER 


HE  BARGED  into  the 
reception  room  of  the 
hroadcasting  studios.  His 
hat  pulled  down  over  one 
eye  at  quite  an  angle.  And 
the  gay  foulard  tie  he  wore  with  his  light 
flannel  suit  was  perfect  both  as  to  design  and 
the  way  in  which  it  was  tied. 

In  his  hurry  he  nearly  collided  with  a 
militant-looking  female  who  seemed  inclined 
to  give  him  a  large  piece  of  her  mind.  Until 
he  bowed  and  smiled,  whereupon  she  smiled, 
too.  The  way  other  women  have  before  Frank 
Parker's  charm.  And  the  way  other  women 
will. 

"Studio  C,  where  is  it?"  His  fingers 
drummed  on  the  polished  surface  of  the  In- 
formation Desk.   "What  direction?" 

The  receptionist  behind  that  desk  was  very 
pretty.  Small  but  roundly  made.  Light  brown 
hair.  She  looked  up.  "Third  door  to  your  .  . ." 

She  got  no  farther. 

"Dorothy!"  Frank's  voice  was  astonished, 
exuberant.  Everyone  waiting  in  the  reception- 
room  looked  up  with  indulgent  smiles. 

For  the  best  part  of  a  second  the  girl's 
eyes  were  puzzled.  Then  she  stood  up  and 
offered  both  her  small,  soft  hands. 

"Frank  Parker!  Of  all  people!"  she  said.

"Where  have  you  come 
from?  What  are  you 
doing  here?" 

He  explained  that  he 
was  working  there  and 
would  continue  to  work  there  as  long 
as   Jack   Benny   broadcast    from  Chi- 
cago. He  also  explained  that  he  was  late 
for  a  rehearsal,  which  had  been  called  for 
fifteen  minutes  before.  But  he  showed  no 
inclination  to  hurry ! 

"You're  the  radio  Frank  Parker?"  she 
asked. 

Frank  nodded.   And  grinned. 

"That's  ridiculous,"  Dorothy  told  him. 
"Here  you  are  practically  my  favorite  radio 
star  and  I  didn't  know  I  knew  you !" 

"You  wouldn't  fool  me?"  he  challenged  her. 
But  he  didn't  sound  as  free  and  easy  as  he 
had  meant  to  sound.  There  was  a  little  con- 
cern in  his  voice. 

She  began  to  laugh.   And  Frank  began  to 
laugh.    Those  who  sat  waiting  there  tried  to 
pull  their  eyes  away  from  Frank  and  Dorothy 
but  they  never  quite  succeeded  in  doing  this. 
There  was  something  so  warming,  so  exciting 
about  the  quick  emotion  which  had  sprung  up 
between  these  two,  even  as  they  had  called  each 
other's  names.  They  were  unconscious  of  observers.

A  polo  enthusiast,  Frank  exercises  one 
of  his  favorite  mounts.  This  Arabian

About  ten  minutes  later  a  call  boy  came 
from  Studio  C. 

"Know  Frank  Parker  when  you  see  him?" 
he  asked  Dorothy,  interrupting  the  conver- 
sation finally,  in  desperation.  "They're  wait- 
ing for  him  inside  for  a  torch  number." 

"He's  doing  his  torch  number  right  now," 
Dorothy  told  the  boy.  Her  eyes  teased  Frank. 
Then  her  lids  dropped  as  if,  in  pride,  she 
would  hide  the  extent  of  her  happiness 
from  him. 

Frank  started  toward  Studio  C.  Then 
he  turned  around  and  came  back  again. 
"Look,"  he  said,  "Don't  go!  Huh?  Until 
I  come  back !" 

He  came  back  in  no  time  at  all,  rush-

Dorothy  wait  for  him.

that.  From  Lois  Bennett's — you  know,  beautiful, 
l,  glamorous  Lois,  who  is  Sally,  the  singing  star  of 
Gibson  Family.  Lois  Bennett  has  a  career,  hasn't  she? 
d  though  you'd  never  dream  it  from  looking  at  her, 
's  got  two  lovely  kiddies,  too,  a  girl  of  eleven  and  one 
three.  Still  she  claims  that  motherhood  and  careers 
1't  mix.  How  come? 

^welve  years  ago,  when  she  was  carrying  her  first 
y,  she  came  to  that  conclusion.  In  that  harrying,  dis- 
using period,  when  a  woman's  whole  being  cries  out 
peace  and  tenderness  and  rest,  Lois  Bennett  had  to  go 
working,  singing  weepy  little  ballads  in  second-rate 
ideville  houses.  Cruel  enough  and  filled  with  doubt  and 
ertainty  is  that  period  for  women  who  have  peace  and 
urity,  a  loved  one  always  by  their  side,  and  enough 
ney  in  the  bank  to  assure  them  the  best  of  medical 
s.  But  worse,  far  worse  was  it  for  Lois.  Instead  of 
little  kindnesses  and  courtesies  women  appreciate  and 
[Id  so  much  at  this  time,  she  had  prying  strangers,  pain

iln  her  moments  of  bitterest  heartache  she  wondered 
It  had  been  a  mistake  to  pray  and  plan  for  a  baby,  for 
*  young  actor  husband,  Frank,  had  no  way  of  support- 
r  it.  He  had  been  out  of  work  for  a  long  time.  It

H  pain,  that  she  dared  stop  work,  dared  come  back 
Hew  York  and  her  husband  to  have  her  baby. 
I  don't  think  there  ever  was  a  happier,  prouder  young 
It  her  than  Lois  Bennett,  as  she  wheeled  that  youngster 
fc  and  down  the  block,  up  and  down,  wondering  why 
pe  people  didn't  stop  to  admire  her  rosy  baby, 
"hen  she  never  dreamed  that  she  would  have  to  try 
R  blend  a  career  and  motherhood.  But  Fate,  who  de- 
lis those  things  for  us,  wasn't  concerned  with  her 
I  ams. 

[  t  wasn't  long  before  she  found  herself  a  divorcee,  with 
|!e  Joan  to  support.  The  child  marriage,  which  she 
l  Frank  had  hoped  would  be  so  glorious  and  beautiful, 
p(  ended  in  poverty  and  despair. 

lut  though  she  might  not  know  where  her  next  meal 
N;  to  come  from,  the  baby,  she  had  decided,  would  be 
i  s. 

I've  just  got  to  have  the  baby,  Frank,"  she  told  her 
li  band. 

She's  mine  too,  Lois,  you  know,"  he  said. 

If  you  let  me  have  the  baby,  I  won't  ask  for  alimony 
5  my  kind.  I'll  take  care  of  her  entirely,"  she  promised. 

larsh  terms?  Yes,  but  better  than  to  lose  her  child. 
Snehow,  she'd  make  a  go  of  things,  manage  to  earn 


enough  to  keep  Joan  in  comfort.  Come  what  might,  she 
would  not  part  from  her. 

Followed  a  period  of  mad  scramble  for  existence.  She 
and  Joan  lived  in  furnished  rooms,  where  the  only  view 
was  a  series  of  clothes  lines,  of  garbage  cans.  Pair  after 
pair  of  shoes  Lois  wore  out  in  a  vain  attempt  to  get  a 
part — any  part  on  the  stage.  At  night  she  worked  in  a 
doctor's  office  as  nurse;  every  Sunday  morning  she  got  up 
at  six  and  took  a  bus,  a  ferry  and  a  street  car  to  get  to 
the  church  in  Tenafly,  New  Jersey,  where  she  sang  in 
the  choir.  No  one  else  would  take  the  job  because  it  took 
so  long  to  get  there,  but  to  Lois  the  twenty  dollars  a 
month  she  earned  meant  enough  for  Grade  A  milk  for  the 
baby,  for  vegetables  and  cod  liver  oil  and  other  things 
growing  tots  need. 

Many  a  day,  penniless,  she  pressed  her  nose  against  a 
restaurant  window,  and  watched  hungrily  while  more  for- 
tunate people  ate  steaming  meals.  There  was  the  time  she 
sang  in  a  quartet  in  White  Plains,  with  grippe,  and  a 
temj)erature  of  102,  she  was  so  ill  she  could  hardly  drag 
herself  to  the  train,  but  the  baby  had  to  be  fed,  to  be 
clothed  and  cared  for. 

Was  there  ever  money  for  music  lessons  to  improve 
her  voice,  to  help  her  realize  some  of  the  dreams  she 
dreamed  late  at  night,  when  darkness  shut  out  the  ugliness 
and  meanness  of  her  drab  surroundings?  No,  there  was 
never  enough  money  for  that.  Why,  any  money  she  man- 
aged to  scrape  together  she  needed  for  the  baby.  Between 
a  career  and  Joan,  Joan  always  came  first.  No,  decidedly 
careers  and  babies  don't  mix. 

There  was  one  thing  she  could  do,  however,  to  earn 
enough  money  to  take  care  of  Joan,  and  though  she  hated 
to  do  it,  she  went  back  into  vaudeville.  She  got  a  chance 
with  the  ( )rpheum  Circuit,  a  tour  of  crazy,  sleepy  little 
towns  in  Jersey,  in  New  York,  through  the  East,  one  night 
stands,  two-day  engagements. 

Leaving  the  baby  behind  was  out  of  the  question,  so 
along  she  came.  "Joan  cut  all  her  teeth  backstage." 
Lois  Bennett  told  me.  "She  learned  to  talk,  to  read  in 
the  dim  light  of  a  dressing-room.  She  lived  in  the  atmos- 
phere of  grease-paint,  cheap  perfume,  stage  tenseness. 
Joanie  and  I  were  the  two  loneliest  girls  in  the  world 
then." 

Early  in  the  morning  you  could  see  the  young  mother, 
her  slim  body  bent  under  the  weight  of  a  heavy  grip, 
wearily  hurrying  to  the  railroad  station,  holding  in  her 
free  arm  a  sleeping  child  .  .  .  you  could  see  them 
if  you  wanted  to  get  out  of  your  snug  bed  some 
wintry  morning.    There  they  were,  shivering 
with  cold,  boarding  a  milk  train  at  four  a.  if. 
to  make  their  next  stand.  If  you  followed 
them  into  the  cheerless  freight  train,  you 
might  have  seen  little  Joan,  her  red 
curls  flying,  curled  up  in  the  open 
suitcase,  the  softest  spot  on  the 
train,  while  her  mother  sat

THE  SADDEST  thing  in  the  world 
is  to  have  love  die. 

That  is  what  Robert  Simmons  be- 
lieves.  And  with  excellent  reason. 

He  saw  her  first  as  he  waited  in  the 
wings  of  the  St.  Louis  Civic  Opera  Company,  and  knew 
that  moment  to  be  one  of  the  most  important  in  his  life. 

She  stood  out  on  the  apron  of  the  stage.  Singing. 

It  wasn't  just  that  her  hair  was  as  lovely  as  pale  brown 
hair  can  be.  Or  that  her  eyes  lay  in  her  young  face 
quiet  and  brown.  Or  that  when  she  laughed  her  gentle 
mouth  turned  almost  pagan.  No,  it  was  more  than  that. 
So  much  more  that  at  first  Bob  Simmons  couldn't  grasp 
it.  Only  this  he  knew,  that  suddenly,  listening  to  that 
girl  sing,  conscious  of  her  voice  curling  through  him,  he 
wasn't  lonely  any  more,  though  until  then  he  hadn't  real- 
ized that  he  was  lonely.    That  is  the  way  it  is  sometimes. 

The  girl  whom  we'll  call  Alice,  since  Alice  suits  her 
and  it  would  not  be  fair  to  link  her  name  with  Bob's 
now,  finished  her  aria. 

"All  right.  Mr.  Simmons,"  called  the  director. 

Boh  stepped  out  on  the  stage.  Before  there  was  time 
for  any  proper  introduction,  he  and  the  girl  smiled  at 
each  other,  as  naturally  and  easily  as  two  old  friends, 
but  with  an  excitement  beating  between  them  such  as  old 
friends  never  know. 

In  the  broadcasting  offices,  one  afternoon  this  winter. 
Bob  told  this  story  for  the  first  time,  after  I  had  prom- 
ised not  to  make  him  appear  a  Pagliacci,  singing  to  cover 
his  broken  heart. 

His  speaking  voice,  like  his  singing  voice,  was  as  soft  as 
'the  shadows  that  filled  the  room,  yet  curiously  strong,  too. 

"She  was  very  charming,"  he  said.  He  rested  his  head 
against  the  back  of  his  chair.    It  was  difficult  to  see  where

September  seemed  to  come  in  no  time.    And  in 
tember  Bob  had  to  leave  for  Boston,  where  he  was  sc 
uled  to  study  at  the  university. 

"We're  young,"  he  told  Alice,  unable  to  endure  the  i( 
of  a  separation.    "We'll  manage  somehow.    If  we're 
gether  we  won't  need  much.    Let's  get  married."

Rosaline  Greene 
does  much  of  the 
work  and  gets  but 
little  of  the  credit

Since  this  story  was  written, 
Miss  Greene  has  been  made 
mistress  of  ceremonies  on  the 
Hour  of  Charm.  Is  fate  re- 
lenting, we  wonder?  Or  is 
Rosaline  demanding  that 
which  she  refused  for  so  long? 
Read  the  story  and  then  make 
up  your  mind. 


^|  T  IS  the  most  amazing  paradox  in  radio.  It's 
J  about  a  girl  who  is  an  important  principal  on  one 
/  of  radio's  biggest  shows,  who  is  starred  on  a  very 
prominent  afternoon  commercial,  who  appears  on 
a  half-dozen  other  programs  besides,  who  has  been  in 
radio  for  over  eleven  years,  who  has  won  the  trophy  as 
having  the  most  perfect  voice  in  radio — yet  she  is  prac- 
tically unknown ! 

Surprising,  isn't  it?  But  I  warned  you  that  her  story 
would  be  different  from  any  you've  ever  heard. 

She's  Rosaline  Green.  Recognize  the  name?  Ever 
hear  of  Mary  Lou  of  Show  Boat?  That's  Rosaline.  You 
see,  there  are  actually  two  girls  who  play  that  role — one 
does  the  singing  and  the  other  does  the  talking.  Well, 
Rosaline  is  the  talking  Mary  Lou  and  she  has  been  kept 
hidden  behind  the  skirts  of  that  famous  radio  character 
she  impersonates  until  her  own  identity  has  been  com- 
pletely lost.  That's  not  all.  She's  also  the  Peggy  of 
Peggy's  Doctor,  the  dramatic  sketch  heard  afternoons, 
and  she  appears  on  numerous  other  programs,  anywhere 
from  the  Palmolive  operettas  to  stooging  for  Eddie 
Cantor. 

The  trick  that  Fate  has  played  on  Rosaline  Greene 
seems  cruel.  Take  Show  Boat  for  instance.  It  started 
out  with  five  newcomers  to  radio — Lanny  Ross,  Charley 
Winninger,  Annette  Hanshaw,  Muriel  Wilson  and  Rosa- 
line Greene.  Let  us  see  what  that  program  has  done  to 
those  five : 

Lanny  Ross  is  on  top  as  radio's  most  popular  young 
tenor,  he's  starred  in  the  movies,  his  salary  on  Show  Boat 
has  doubled  and  redoubled,  he's  the  whole  works  on  the 
Log  Cabin  half  hour,  he  can  step  into  any  Broadway 
show  at  his  own  figure.  Then  there's  Charley  Winninger, 
the  jovial  Cap'n  Henry.  Before  Show  Boat,  he  was  a

GANGWAY 

FOR  THE 
AMATEURS 

BY  GEORGE  KENT 

ANT  to  go  on  the  air? 

Want  the  rattle  of  applause  in  your  ears,  the 
taste  of  glory  in  your  mouth,  and  the  clink  of  coins 
in  your  pocket  ?  Then  step  right  up  to  the  micro- 
phone, amateur,  for  this  year  of  our  Lord  1935  is  your 
>ig  opportunity. 

The  amateur  craze  is  rushing  across  the  country  like 
he  spreading  of  prairie  fire.  Coast-to-coast  hook-ups  are 
;ending  tenderfoot  tunes  and  toots  up  and  down  the  kilo- 
:ycles.  Any  and  everybody  is  welcome,  and  if  you've  got 
hat  extra  umph  you're  sure  to  get  a  crack  at  the  Great 
White  Fathers  of  broadcasting. 

It  started  in  a  national  sense — you've  probably  been 
wondering  about  this — when  this  magazine  began  mod- 
stly  to  present  a  few  "discoveries"  on  the  Lanny  Ross 
,og  Cabin  show.  It  continued  because  the  idea  was  a 
ood  one  and  a  certain  slick  fellow  in  New  York  City 
nvented  a  gadget  that  turned  pain  into  pleasure  and  an 
ssortment  of  wire-edged  voices  into  something  about 
vhich  to  tell  your  friends. 

It  started  .  .  .  and  now  look  at  the  durned  thing.  Kate 
>mith  is  doing  it.    So  are  Ray  Perkins,  Fred  Allen,  and 
half  dozen  others.    In  New  York  City  today — and  the 
ame  thing  will  happen  in  your  home  town  if  you  aren't 
areful — auditions  are  being  held  by  the  thousand. 

What's  the  good  of  it?  Just  this:  one  of  those  audi- 
ions  is. going  to  reveal  another  Joe  Penner  or  Gertrude 
Niesen.  Tomorrow's  stars  are  coming  out  of  those 
wholesale  auditions.  And  here's  a  gold-plated,  TNT- 
acked  thought  for  every  lass  or  lad  with  a  radio-tuned 
trishbone : 

That  star  of  tomorrow  might  be  you! 
!   So  what  do  you  do  to  get  into  these  auditions?  What's 
he  technique  of  breaking  down  those  pearly  gates  to 
1  irosperity? 

Well,  if  you're  a  New  Yorker  or  an  Easterner,  it's 
imple.  The  man  you  want  to  see  is  Major  Edward 
k>wes.  Major  Bowes,  god-father  of  the  beginner,  magic 
enii  for  the  whole  mute  tribe  of  trembling  first-timers, 
nd  the  man  you've  heard  on  the  air  for  years  with  his 
amous  Capitol  Family. 

In  addition  to  his  national  broadcasting,  in  addition  to 
irecting  the  destiny  of  Broadway's  famed  Capitol  Thea- 
"e,  the  Major  has  a  tiny  Manhattan  radio  station,  a  1,000- 
^atter  that  is  exactly  one-fiftieth  as  big  as  the  surrounding 
lants.  \\  hat  this  Broadway  showman — he's  sixty  years

Why  do  the 
accomplished 

stars  of  the 
screen  quake 
at  the  sight  of 
a  microphone? 


Backstage  at  the  Lux  Radio 
Theatre  you  can  see  many 
odd  sights.  .  .  . 
It's  odd,  and  sort  of  heart- 
breaking, too,  to  see  a  girl, 
one  of  radio's  valiant  un- 
knowns, go  over  to  a  gilded 
child  from  the  cinema  and 
show  her  the  trick  of  not 
being   afraid.   That   is  the 
radio  actress'  tiny,  her  only 
real  moment  of  triumph,  for 
when  the  show  goes  on  the 
air  her  name  is  barely  men- 
tioned. And  afterward  the 
star  will  make  a  little  speech, 
telling  how  charmed  she  is  to 
be  there — when  actually  she 
may  be  shaking  in  her  boots ! 
There  is  something  about  that 
coffin-shaped  microphone 
which  drains  away  all  the 
footlight  and  flood-light  con- 
fidence of   our  high-power 
stars.  When  Jimmy  Cagney 
finished  his  recent  play,  he 
held  up  the  handkerchief  on 
which  he  had  been  wiping 
his  hands.  It  was  dripping! 
And  at  the  end  of  "The 
Barker"  Walter  Huston  was 
perspiring  from  the  strain. 
But  these  are  little  things. 
More  impressive  are  the  taut- 
ness    of    performance,  the 
earnestness  of  purpose  visible 
in  every  face  about  the  micro- 
phone.  These   bespeak  the 
knowledge  of  these  actors 
that  the  job  they  are  doing 
is  reaching  millions,  spread 
in    an    auditorium  that 
stretches  from  where  the  sun 
rises  to  where  it  sets.  An 
•  audience  which  must  not  be 
cheated,  to  which  they  must 
and  do  give  their  very  best.

The  first  real  inside  story  of  Amos  n  Andy 
as  told  to  Roger  Cameron  for  RADIO  STARS 


^NURING  my  recent  visit  to  New  York  I  dropped  in 
/  1  to  listen  to  Phil  Baker's  broadcast.  You  all  know 
I  /  Phil — easy-going,  roving  eye.  Well,  he  espied  me, 
waved  a  greeting  and  said  into  the  microphone : 

"And  who  do  you  think  is  with  us  tonight?  Bill  Hay. 
You  know  him.  Everybody  knows  him.  Hello  Bill. 
Amos  and  Andy  work  for  Bill." 

That's  a  lie.  An  outrageous  lie.  Flattering,  but  a  long, 
lean  and  leathery  lie  just  the  same!  Excuse  it  please. 
Others  get  the  same  notion.  Where  they  get  it,  I  don't 
know.  All  I  do  is  announce  the  boys,  read  a  short  sales 
talk  before  and  after  they  go  on,  like  any  other  an- 
nouncer. 

Announcers  have  to  be  a  little  stiff,  a  bit  pompous.  Per- 
haps their  dignity  fools  the  listeners — some  of  them. 
They  think.  I  suppose,  that  the  formal  voice  they  hear 
must  be  Superior  in  some  way  to  the  operators  of  the 
Fresh  Air  Taxicab  Company  Incorpulated.  I  am  here  to 


tell  you  I'm  not.  I  wish  I  were.  I  wish  I  had  a 
twentieth  part  of  their  talent. 

If  anybody's  boss,  it's  A  and  A.  Strictly  speak- 
ing we  are  all  employees  of  the  same  company. 
Theoretically,  only  the  company  can  fire  me.  But 
just  between  us,  I'd  hate  to  have  Amos  or  Andy 
develop  a  hate  for  me.  My  job  wouldn't  be  worth 
a  dented  Canadian  dime  in  a  slot  machine. 

But  the  public  doesn't  know.  They  write  me 
letters  lagging  me  to  use  my  authority.  One  writer 
asked  me  to  request  Andy  to  be  a  little  less  over- 
bearing. One  sweet,  gray-haired  lady  came  to  the 
studio  to  see  me.  She  asked  if  she  could  meet 
A  and  A.  Amos,  who  in  street  clothes  is  Freeman 
F.  Gosden,  was  the  first  to  come  out.  A  Virginian, 
blond,  and  amiable,  he  charmed  the  old  lady. 

Then  Andy,  Charles  J.  Correll  from  Peoria, 
came  out.     He  came  out,  as  he  invariably  does.

chirpy,  full  of  ginger.  But  his  ginger  fizzed  as  the  old 
gal  turned  on  him  and  hissed : 

"You're  Andy?  You  big  bully!  I  could  scratch 
your  eyes  out !" 

You  see.  to  a  great  many  people.  Gosden  and  Cor- 
rell are  not  a  team  of  radio  performers.  They  are 
Amos  and  Andy,  who  are  sort  of  neighbors  and  kinsfolk 
to  the  world.  If  they  were  to  call  for  recruits  for  an 
army  to  march  on  Washington.  I  know  they  would 
have  a  million  men,  women  and  children  ready  to  go

See  what  happens  when  Amos  complains  of  sore 
feet.  Ten  thousand  persons  sit  down  and  send  in  corn 
plasters,  remedies  for  bunions,  advice,  new  shoes  and 
patent  .shoe  laces.  When  they  broach  the  subject  of 
buying  a  new  cab,  thousands  of  cars  are  offered.  I 
tell  you  it's  incredible,  it's  a  miracle  and  after  eight 
years  of  occupying  a  ringside  seat  I  find  I  am  still 
fascinated. 

This  is  the  first  time  I  have  ever  had  an  opportunity 
to  tell  the  story  completely  and  I  am  going  to  take 
advantage  of  it  to  answer  all  the  questions  that  people 
ask  me.

Tony  Wons  wasn't  afraid  to  take  his  own  advic< 


THIS  IS  NOT  the  gilded  story  of  an  ether-wave  saint. 
Tony  Wons,  radio's  poetic  philosopher  is  a  human  being, 
entirely  capable  of  making  mistakes  like  the  rest  of  us. 
He  thinks  he  is  fully  aware  of  all  his  actions,  for  many  a 
time  Tony  has  taken  stock  of  Tony  Wons,  Incorporated. 

But  never  in  these  honest  soliloquies  has  he  dared  to 
retrace  the  most  important  episode  in  his  crowded  life.  He 
doesn't  remember  that  once  he  broke  a  heart — a  woman's 
heart ! 

On  that  occasion  he  did  not  consult  any  scrapbook. 
No  man-made  words  could  have  told  him  how  to  act. 
Instinct  gave  the  command.  That  he  acted  wisely  is 
proved  by  the  fact  that  today  at  forty-three,  Tony  is  com- 
pletely happy.  He  lives  only  for  his  wife,  Ruby,  and  their 
twelve-year-old  daughter. 

Yet  someone  had  to  pay  for  his  bliss.  A  disappointed 
girl  paid  with  her  love.  His  actions  turned  her  from  a 
gay  girl  into  a  cynical,  empty  woman.  Perhaps  she  loved 
Tony  too  much. 

When  he  says  to  his  fans,  "Follow  your  heart,"  they 
do,  for  they  believe  in  him.  Oh,  how  many  people  have 
written  to  Tony,  asking  for  his  advice.  Two  people  are 
in  love.  Insurmountable  barriers  block  their  path.  What. 
48 


they,  ask  Tony,  shall  they  do  ?  His  answer  is  always 
same — "Follow  your  heart!" 

If  you  doubt  whether  Tony  practises  what  he  preache 
turn  back  the  clock  some  fifteen  years  and  read  what 
wrote  in  his  famous  scrapbook :   "A  fool  is  a  girl 
introduces  her  boy  friend  to  her  sister." 

When  Tony  Wons  was  left  to  die  in  a  lonely  Ari 
sanatorium  a  decade  or  so  ago,  no  friends  came  to 
him.   All  he  had  was  a  few  old  books.  The  literature

c  n  from  Connecticut,  where  she  lives  alone  with  her

found  her  glamorous  for  many  reasons  ...  It  would 
Ip  been  understandable  if  she  had  been  a  passe  prima 
<na,  clutching  frantically  after  those  things  she  had 

II  But  she  was  instead,  a  poised,  happy  woman,  far 

0  interested  in  life  as  she  knows  it  today  to  sigh  for 

1  part  of  the  past.  Instead  of  speaking  of  the  many 
nisands  who  once  had  comprised  her  worshipping

I  rever  she  may  be,  in  whatever  circumstances,  at  any 

L.  few  months  ago  she  appeared  on  the  air  as  com- 


mentator for  a  musical  program.  Radio  audiences, 
fascinated  with  her  keen,  colorful  viewpoint,  wrote  in 
asking  when  they  might  expect  to  hear  her  again.  With 
the  result  that  now  she  has  been  engaged  as  a  raconteusc 
for  this  season's  opera  broadcasts.  And  that's  good  news ! 

It  was  over  twelve  years  ago  that  Geraldine  Farrar 
retired.  Voluntarily.  While  she  still  was  at  the  peak  of 
her  glory.  And  it  is  doubtful  that  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  ever  again  will  present  as  brilliant  and  exciting 
a  scene  as  it  did  on  that  afternoon  when  she  made  her 
farewell  appearance.  As  "Zaza."  Wearing  a  scarlet  gown 
and  a  darker  red  velvet  cloak  with  her  orange  wig.  Man- 
aging to  be  more  beautiful  than  ever,  as  a  result  of  her 
daring  with  the.ic  colors! 

That  afternoon  the  stage  boxes  were  filled  with  the 
famous  "Gerry  Flappers."  First  from  one  side,  then 
from  the  other,  flowers  were  thrown  to  the  stage.  Corsages 
of  violets  and  of  gardenias.  Sheaves  of  roses  red  as 
courage  and  white  as  truth.  While  ushers  rushed  up 
and  down  the  aisles  with  more  flowers.  Among  them  a 
tiny  nosegay  from  a  little  old  lady  who  climbed  steep 
stairs  to  the  gallery  to  be  there  on  that  great  sad  day. 
An  armful  of  heather  from  a  sentimental  Scotchman.  And 
orchids  from  the  conservatories  of  a- famous  merchant 
prince. 

They  would  not  let  her  go.  Encore  after  encore  they 
demanded  with  the  hysterical  l>eating  of  their  hands.  And 
while  she  sang,  the  other  members  of  the  company  stood 
behind  her  unashamed  of  the  tears  sliding  down  their 
faces.  When  at  last  it  was  all  over  they  carried  her,  still

f  j  REETINGS  iriends  and  Radio  Fans, 
f>7^  Have  you  ever  heard  something  slangily  described 
as  "the  cheese?"  I  have,  often — although  I  never 
"     was  quite  sure  what  it  meant  until  I  looked  up  the 
definition  the  other  day  in  the  Dictionary  of  Slang 
Phrases.  This  amusing  and  interesting  volume  says  that 
the  expression  "the  cheese"  signifies  "anything  good,  first 
rate  in  quality,  genuine  and  pleasant."   In  short,  "quite 
the  cheese"  means  "quite  the  correct  thing."  That  is  a 
description  with  which  most  men  would  enthusiastically 
agree  because  of  their  great  liking  for  cheese — and  it 
certainly  expresses  Dick  Powell's  idea  on  the  subject 
exactly. 

But  let's  start  at  the  very  beginning  of  my  researches 
and  discoveries  on  the  subject  of  cheese.  It  all  started 
when  Dick  Powell  (popular  singing  star  of  Radio  and 
Screen  and  Master  of  Ceremonies  of  the  Hollywood  Hotel 
Broadcast)  took  upon  himself  another  role,  that  of  host, 
and  asked  me  to  have  lunch  with  him.  As  a  visitor  in

see  that  section  of  Los  Angeles  called  "The  Mexican

there.  I  arrived  early  enough  to  inspect  the  colorful 
terior  of  the  house  and  to  glance  at  the  vivid  hues  of

coat  that  left  me  speechless  for  the  moment ! 

"I  see  you've  just  checked  in !"  I  said  finally  as  I 
gained  my  breath. 

"My  good  woman,"  Dick  replied  with  the  broad  be

"aren't  you  familiar  with  the  well  known  saying  tha

"Well,  that  may  be  true,"  I  replied,  "but  I  insist  in

"My  coat  of  many  colors,"  explained  Dick,  "was  don:

"They  re  the  most  popular  ciga-

now,"  continued  tins  alert  young 
member  of  New  York's  inner 
circle.  "Camels  have  such  a  grand 
smooth  flavor.  I  suppose  that's 
because  they  have  more  expensive 
tobaccos  in  them.  And  they  never 


make  my  nerves  jumpy. 
I'm  tireil  out  and  my  nerves  feel 
frazzled,  then  a  Camel  gives  me 
a  nice  gentle  'lilt'  that  restores 
my  enthusiasm." 

Tl,  e  reason  you  feel  better  after

IF  SOMEONE  says  to  you  :  -What's 
the  use  of  going  on  with  life?  I've 
been  a  failure  at  everything  I've 
tried!" — tell  him  that  William  Merri- 
gan Daly,  now  conducting  the  Fire- 
stone orchestra,  once  could  have  said 
the  same  thing — but  didn't ! 

In  1908  young  Daly,  child  prodigy 
of  the  piano  and  Harvard  graduate, 
was  bossing  a  construction  gang  of 
negroes  on  the  Frisco  railroad  in 
Arizona.  Eighteen  dollars  a  month. 
"What  a  sap!"  he  thought  bitterly. 
Well,  perhaps  his  uncle,  who  had  got 
him  that  job,  could  get  him  another  at 
which  he  would  have  a  better  chance 
of  success.  He'd  have  a  go  at  some- 
thing new,  anyway! 

The  "something  new"  proved  to  be 
a  job  as  a  coffee  salesman — and  ap- 
parently, from  his  records,  he  was 
one  of  the  world's  worst.  Hotels  and 
steamship  lines  turned  him  down 
54 


with  discouraging  unanimity.  He 
would  be  discharged  soon,  he  thought, 
miserable  in  the  realization  of  his  in- 
competence. He  hadn't  made  a  single 
sale  yet !  Soon  he  would  be  broke  and 
starving  again  ! 

Music  was  the  only  thing  he  had 
left.  He  accepted  an  invitation  to  play 
the  piano  at  a  party,  trying  to  for- 
get in  his  music  the  heaviness  of  his 
heart.  As  he  finished,  he  was  sur- 
prised at  the  quick  wave  of  applause. 
A  gray-haired  man  came  up  to  him. 

"My  boy,"  he  demanded,  "what  do 
you  do  for  a  living?" 

"Why."  Daly  replied,  "I — I'm  a 
sort  of  coffee  salesman." 

"Coffee  salesman,  eh  ?"  boomed  the 
stranger.  "Son,  I  own  a  fleet  of  Great 
Lakes  steamers.  If  you'll  play  for  my 
wife  and  daughter,  as  you  have  just 
played,  I'll  give  you  an  order  to  sup- 
ply coffee  to  every  vessel  I  own." 


Bill  played — frantically,  happil 
He  got  the  order.  He  collected 
commission.  Then  he  quit  his  job. 
always  had  believed  some  time  h 
be  pretty  good  at  journalism.  N 
for  the  first  time  he  had  enou 
money  to  go  to  New  York  and  ha 
a  fling  at  it. 

The  New  York  streets  wore  t 
soles  of  his  shoes  paper  thin  as 
tramped  from  one  newspaper  orfi 
to  another.    His  courage  faded, 
longer    was    there    the  reassun 
crinkling    of    paper    money  in 
pockets.  Only  the  jingle  of  a  few  1 
coins. 

In  the  shabby  furnished  ro 
which  he  shared  with  a  friend  of 
Daly  mused  bitterly.  He  had  been 
uncompromising  fool,  he  decided, 
quit  selling  coffee.  Now  he  was  sta 
ing!  "What  can  i  do?"  he  aske 
bitterly.      {Continued  on  page  97

Your  Skin! 


ONE  of  America's  leading  dermatolo- 
gists says:  "The  beauty  of  the  outer 
}kin  depends  on  the  underskirt.  You  can- 
not be  too  emphatic  about  that." 

Yet  women  try  one  thing  and  another 
or  faults  they  see  on  the  outside  of  their 
kin-never  dreaming  that  what  their 
kin  really  needs  is  help  underneath. 

How  skin  faults  develop 
he  underskin  is  the  workshop  where  the 
utward  beauty  of  the  skin  is  constantly 
««ng  created.  Once  the  teens  are  past,  the 
nderskin  begins  to  lose  vigor.  Oil  glands 
ecrease  their  supply.  Fibres  lose  their 
'lap.  All  of  this  slowly  but  surely  shows 
P  in  your  outer  skin  in  the  form  of  black-

How  can  you  ward  them  off?  By  in- 
'gorating  your  underskin!

stick  to  their  knitting  when  they're

only  for  the  higher  and  better 
things. 

Is  zat  so?  Don't  you  believe  it! 

The  truth  is  that  they're  human 
and  have  the  average  percentage  of 
faults  and  human  cussedness. 
Sometimes  they  lose  their  tempers, 
even  as  you  and  I,  and  when  thev 
do  .  .  . 

Usually  it  doesn't  pay  to  lose 
your  temper,  but  in  some  instances 
certain  radio  stars  have  made  it 
earn  dividends. 

Betty  Barthell,  for  instance.  .  .  . 

Betty  is  doing  her  first  night- 
club work,  singing  at  the  Simplon 
Club  in  Xew  York  City — one  of 
the  smarter  night  clubs.  One  night, 
as  she  was  singing,  she  was  em- 
barrassed by  the  manner  in  which 
one  of  a  group  of  men  sitting  at  a 
nearby  table  stared  at  her. 

Of  course  a  patron  has  a  perfect 


right  to  gaze  at  an  entertainer. 
But  as  she  passed  his  table  to  join 
a  group  of  her  friends,  he  Stood 
up  and  drew  her  aside.  His  touch 
on  her  arm  made  her  shiver. 

"You  know,"  he  said.  "You're 
mighty  cute." 

"Thank  you,"  said  Betty. 

''W  hat  time  do  you  get  through 
work?"  he  asked,  in  a  low  tone 
so  his  friends  shouldn't  overhear. 

You  can't  be  rude  to  a  patron. 
"Oh,    about    one-thirty,"  Betty

answered,  and  trying  to  edge  away. 

"I'm  staying  at  the  Penn  Hotel," 
he  said.  "I've  got  a  mighty  nice 
place,  little  girl.  How  about  com- 
ing up  after  the  show?  We  can  be 
together  alone  and  have  a  real 
chummy  time." 

Down  South,  where  Betty  came 
from,  every  man  in  the  room 
would  have  rushed  to  protect  her, 
had  any  man  made  a  comment  like 
that.  But  he  had  spoken  softly. 
No  one  had  heard.

flamed  in  her  face.  "What  am  I 
going  to  do  when  I'm  through 
here?"  .she  repeated,  loudly  enough 
for  everyone  to  hear  it.  "I'm  go- 
ing straight  home — to  my  home, 
not  yours — and  go  to  bed !" 

And  sheepishly  he  subsided, 
while  his  friends  howled  at  his  dis- 
comfiture. 

Phil  Duey  is  one  of  the  best- 
natured  men  on  Radio  Row.  But 
one  night  Phil  got  mad ! 

It  was  one  of  those  days  when 
everything  goes  wrong.  In  the 
morning,  at  rehearsal,  the  sponsors 
had  vetoed  the  songs  he  wanted  to 
sing.  The  orchestra  semed  to  play 
none  hut  sour  notes.  His  voice 
sounded  off  key. 

In  the  afternoon,  while  he  was 
posing  for  some  outdoor  shots,  it 
began  to  rain,  and  the  downpour 
continued  steadily.  At  night,  he 
had  to  appear  at  a  benefit  per- 
formance, and  it  wasn't  till  after 
twelve  that  he  got  away. 

HE  got  to  the  New  York  Central 
station  just  in  time  to  catch  the 
one  o'clock  train,  the  last  one  out 
to  Larchmont,  where  he  lives. 
Taxis  never  meet  the  last  train. 
Larchmont  is  a  conservative  com- 
munity, and  if  you  don't  get  home 
by  midnight,  it  is  not  the  cabby's 
fault.  You  can  walk. 

Walking  in  the  rain  is  no  fun, 
particularly  to  a  tired  man.  But 
walk  Phil  must,  a  mile  and  a 
quarter  uphill,  to  his  home  on 
Knollwood  Drive. 

Just  as  he  approached  his  house, 
soaked  to  the  skin,  he  saw  a  figure 
emerge  from  the  woods  behind  this 
street.  Suddenly  a  gun  was  poked 
into  his  ribs. 

"Stick  'em  up."  a  hoarse  voice 
said.  "I  ain't  kidding,  either." 

Ordinarily  Phil  would  have 
obeyed.  He  thinks  a  man  is  a  fool 
to  jeopardize  his  life  for  a  few  dol- 
lars. But  today  his  Irish  was  up. 

He  struck  out.  He  was  getting 
revenge  on  the  orchestra  which 
had  played  out  of  tune,  on  the 
sponsors  who  had  vetoed  his  pet 
songs,  on  the  taxi  drivers  who 
were  never  around  when  you 
needed  them ! 

The  surprised  footpad  reeled 
under  the  blow.  But  in  a  jiffy  he 
was  up  and  at  Phil.  Duey  flew  at 
him.  Down  went  the  footpad.  He 
felt  as  if  a  dozen  fists  had  landed 
on  his  face.  He  staggered  to  his 
feet,  then  gave  up.  The  last 
Duev  saw  of  him  he  was  reeling 


cl- 

ut 

ec 


dizzily,    hastily    down    the  street. 

To  all  of  Larchmont  Phil  is  now 
a  hero.  But  I  wonder  what  would 
have  happened  if  he  hadn't  lost  his 

temper  ? 

In  a  hurry  to  get  to  the  studio 
one  day,  Gertrude  Xiessen  sped  i 
down  Fifth  Avenue  and  turned 
into  Fiftieth  Street.  Forgetting  it 
was  a  one-way  street,  she  was  driv- 
ing in  the  wrong  direction. 

A  cab-driver,  coming  toward  her,  1 
yelled:  "I lev!  Turn  around!  Back 
down  the  street!  You're  going  the 
wrong  way!" 

"I  know  it,"  Gertrude  answered,  I 
realizing    now    her    mistake,  "but 
I'm  in  an  awful  hurry.  Just  move 
over,  like  a  good   fellow,  and  I'll  • 
shoot  down  in  no  time." 

"Like  fun!  You  Sunday  drivers  jj 
give  me  a  pain,"  he  said.  And  -| 
blocked   her  way. 


CARS  began  to  collect  behind 
them.  Horns  to  honk.  Voices 
yelled  at  them.  And  still  the  taxi 
would  not  move.  The  driver  wa; 
making  a  show  of  her  before  tin 
crowd ;  Gertrude's  anger  rose 
the  boiling  point.  She  flounced  oui 
of  her  car,  walked  over  and  slapped 
the  taxi  driver  in  the  face.  He  was 
so  astonished  he  just  gaped  for  a 
few  seconds.  Then,  without  a  wore 
he  shifted  into  first,  moved  his 
cab  over,  and  Gertrude  triumphant 
ly  passed  down  the  street. 

Not  everyone  grows  violent  wher 
angry.  Some  of  the  stars  become 
quiet,  and  as  white  as  a  sheet.  The 
madder  they  get,  the  quieter  the) 
become. 

That's  the  way  with  Gene  Car 
roll.  You  know  Gene,  the  headmar 
of  the  team  of  Gene  and  Glenn- 
Jake  and  Lena  to  you?  After  four 
teen  years  of  supposedly  happ) 
wedded  life  Gene  left  his  wife 
Mary.  And  didn't  come  back.  He 
has  three  kids  whom  he  adores— 
but  he  left  them  all. 

It  happened  back  in  Cleveland  ; 
year  ago. 

One  night  Gene  got  home  a  ■ 
eleven-thirty.  His  wife  had  ex 
pected  him  at  eleven-fifteen,  for  the 
last  show  was  over  at  eleven,  anc 
it  never  took  him  more  than  fitteei 
minutes  to  get  home  from  th* 
theatre.  Tonight,  he  had  stoppet 
to  chat  with  the  boys.  He  got  int< 
his  apartment  quietly,  so  as  no 
to  awaken  the  kids.

JURS.  CARROLL  was  in  bed 
but  awake.  And  then  it  began: 
a  stream  of  innuendoes,  recrimina- 
tions, a  barrage  of  suspicion,  anger, 
frustration.  Mrs.  Carroll  didn't  be- 
ieve  his  excuses  for  coming  a 
quarter  of  an  hour  late.  He  must 
have  been  calling  up  a  girl.  .  .  . 

The  picture  of  his  whole  married 
life  flashed  before  Gene.  From  the 
start,  suspicion  and  pettiness  .  .  . 
Well,  this  was  enough!  He  was 
through.  He  didn't  attempt  to  an- 
swer her.  What  was  the  use?  She 
wouldn't  believe  him,  anyway. 

He  just  packed  his  bags  and 
walked  out,  never  to  return.  Xow 
the  Carroll s  are  divorced.  All  be- 
cause the  Mr.  and  Mrs.  lost  their 
tempers. 

Then  there's  Tiny  Ruffncr,  who 
does  the  announcing  on  the  Show- 
boat. A  number  of  years  ago  Tiny 
was  a  shipping  clerk  with  a  film 
company  in  Seattle.  In  those  days 
Tiny  was  a  rough  diamond,  two 
hundred  and  twenty  pounds  of 
muscle  and  brawn.  He  worked  like 
a  dog,  packing  and  unpacking  film, 
lifting  heavy  crates. 

One  day  he  went  to  the  boss  and 
asked  for  a  raise.  The  boss  ad- 
mitted he  deserved  one,  and  prom- 
ised there'd  be  three  extra  dollars 
in  his  pay  envelope  the  next  week. 

The  week  passed.  Tiny  already 
had  spent  that  three  extra  bucks. 
It  wasn't  in  his  pay  envelope !  An- 
other week.  Another.  Still  no  sign 
of   the   raise.   Finallv   Tinv  strode 


into  Boss  McClosker's  office  to  ask 
why  it  hadn't  been  added  to  his 
pay. 

"Why,     you   "  McClosker 

roared.  "You'll  get  it  when  I  get 
ready  to  give  it  to  you!  Get  out 
of  here!" 

Tiny  saw  red.  He  struck  out  with 
his  right.  Remember  there  were 
two  hundred  and  twenty  pounds 
behind   that  punch. 

Then  McClosker,  who  was  no 
weakling,  hit  back.  The  two  rolled 
on  the  floor  together.  Finally  Mc- 
Closker grabbed  Tiny's  neck  in  a 
steely  grip.  He  was  choking  Tiny. 
Managing  to  raise  his  legs,  Tiny 
gave  McClosker  a  push  and  Mc- 
Closker's head  went  through  the 
glass  office  partition. 

End  of  round  one.  McClosker 
landed  in  the  hospital  where  he 
vacationed  for  two  weeks.  Tiny 
escaped  with  a  mere  black  eye,  a 
torn  lip  and  a  limp. 

That  night,  he  was  a*fraid  to  go 
home  and  tell  the  folks.  He'd  lost 
his  job,  and  he  was  sure,  once  the 
story  got  around,  no  one  else  would 
hire  him.  And  how  they  needed 
his  money  at  home ! 

But  a  rival  concern  offered  him 
a  job  at  a  fifty  per  cent,  increase. 
They  needed  a  strong  guy  at  the 
Mutual  Film  Company.  Besides, 
they  hated  McClosker,  and  were 
glad  someone  had  licked  him.  So 
Tiny,  too,  profited  by  losing  his 
temper.

NOW  NEW  POWDER  SHADES 


/ 


Is  your  skin  dull?  Uninteresting? 
Are  you  going  along  powdering — re- 
powdering — with  the  same  old  powder 
shades  that  don't  do  a  thing  for  you 

Now  there  is  a  new  face  powder  that 
does  exciting  things  for  your  skin. 

Just  film  on  this  new  powder — and 
be  prepared  for  admiring  glances,  for  it 
gives  sparkle.  Conceals  blemishes.  Lends 
a  seductive  softness.  And  your  skin  holds 
this  radiant  loveliness  for  hours. 

Hidden  Tints  flatter  Every  Type 

No  ordinary  powder  could  do  such  thrill- 
ing things  to  your  skin.  The  nattering 
effect  is  due  to  hidden  tints  scientifically 
blended  into  this  entirely  new  and  differ- 
ent face  powder  by  Pond's. 

These  hidden  tints  are  the  actual  tones 
in  beautiful  skin.  Read  above  the  story  of 
their  discovery.  Then  you'll  know  how 
Pond's  Powder  gives  your  skin  the  one 
needed  tone  that  lifts  an  ordinary  com- 
plexion to  a  glamorous  one. 


An  optical  machine  which  records  color  in 
human  skin  read  more  than  200  girls'  com- 
plexions. It  showed  that  blonde  skin 
owed  its  beauty  to  hidden  notes  of  brii- 
liant  blue — brunette  skin  to  hidden  tints 
of  green.  These  tints  Pond's  blends  invis- 
ibly in  their  powder  to  flatter  every  skin.

•  Those  in  the  music  husiness  make 
it  their  job  to  know  which  songs  are 
played  the  most  often  over  the  net- 
works. After  all,  that  is  the  best 
measure  to  test  song  popularity. 
During  the  winter  months  surveys 
showed  these  as  the  top  notchers : 
Stay  As  Sweet  As  You  Are,  Winter 
Wonderland,  Object  of  My  Affec- 
tion, Dancing  with  My  Shadow. 
Hands  Across  the  Table,  It's  June 
in  January,  Continental,  Invitation 
to  a  Dance,  Blue  Moon  and  An 
Earful  of  Music. 

The  actual  sales  of  sheet  music, 
which  is  the  other  fundamental  test 
of  popularity,  shows  these  on  top 
during  the  winter :  Stars  Fell  on 
Alabama,  Rain,  Object  of  My  Affec- 
tion, Stay  As  Sweet  As  You 
Are,  and,  probably  due  to  the  Christ- 
mas season,  Santa's  Coming  to 
Town. 

•  A  brief  survey  of  the  music  world 
during    1934    shows    several  very 


noticeable  trends :  ( 1 )  The  fast  grow- 
ing amount  of  symphony  and  opera 
music  on  the  air;  (2)  stressing  of 
the  waltz;  (3)  the  exit  of  practically 
no-name  bands  and  the  addition  of  a 
lot  of  new  musical  organizations;  and 
(4)  the  new  rhythm  craze,  as  typified 
by  the  rhumba  and  such  songs  as  The 
Carioca. 

•  Some  of  the  odd  things  we've 
noticed :  Cab  Calloway,  always  here- 
tofore an  NBC  artist,  has  shifted  to 
CBS.  Johnny  Green,  musical  advisor 
of  the  latter  network,  unable  to  land 
himself  a  commercial  program,  went 
into  a  hotel  spot  with  a  dance  band. 
The  Studebaker  program  features  a 
singer  whose  last  name  is  that  of  an- 
other auto,  Joey  Nash.  Although 
Jackie  Heller  has  not  been  with  Ben 
Bernie  for  a  year  and  now  has  his 
own  airshow,  Bernie  is  still  his  man- 
ager. Heller's  sister,  Shirley,  by  the 
way,  is  singing  over  a  Pittsburgh 
station,  the  Heller  home  town.

NO  MOTHER  needs  to  be  told  how  im- 
portant milk  is  for  the  growing  child. 
Doctors  have  long  emphasized  its  value

When  Cocomalt  is  mixed  with  milk  as

A  pure,  wholesome,  nourishing  food  such

the  physical  development  of  your  child.

supporting  the  energy  demands  of  the  body 
for  work  and  play,  food-calcium  and  food- 
phosphorus  plus  Sunshine  Vitamin  D  for

The  Taming  of  Barbara  Bennett 


(Continued  front  page  29) 


engagement  in  Paris.  It  was  there  for 
the  first  time  that  the  paths  ol  Barbara 
Bennett  and  Morton  Downey  crossed. 
Barbara  was  sitting  with  a  party  of 
friends  one  evening  at  Les  Ambassadeurs 
in  Paris.  Downey  came  in  and  saw  her, 
took  in  for  the  first  time  her  black  eyes, 
her  hair  that  was  like  the  color  of  night, 
the  beauty  and  the  grace  of  her.  Morton 
was  not  the  kind  of  person  to  sit  and 
stare  at  a  stranger.  But  this  time  .  .  .  this 
time.  He  couldn't  keep  his  eyes  off  her. 
For  a  moment  their  eyes  met,  and  then 
they  both  quickly  turned  away. 

''I  wonder  who  that  man  is,"  thought 
Barbara. 

"I  wonder  who  that  girl  is,"  thought 
Morton. 

And  then  that  moment,  so  pregnant  with 
destiny,  passed,  and  Morton  was  laughing 
once  more  as  he  talked  with  his  friends, 
though  Barbara's  image  was  engraved  for- 
ever in  his  heart. 

Brief  was  the  taste  of  triumph  to 
Mat'rice.  Though  he  and  Barbara  were 
acclaimed  everywhere,  hot  was  her  young 
hate  of  him.  Some  personal  antipathy  to 
the  man  coursed  through  her  veins,  and 
she  made  no  attempt  to  disguise  it. 

When  they  opened  in  New  York,  all 
that  had  gone  before  came  to  a  climax.  It 
seemed  to  Barbara  that  Maurice  was 
greedy  and  avaricious.  He  was  receiving 
three  thousand  dollars  a  week  for  their 
act,  and  he  gave  her  only  five  hundred 
dollars  a  week  out  of  it. 

When  Barbara  demanded  more  money 
there  was  a  scene.  Maurice  who  had 
thought  of  her  as  a  puppet  to  mould  to  his 
will,  who  had  wanted  to  train  her  simply 
to  add  to  his  own  glory,  was  furious. 
Hate  mounted  high. 

"I'm  walking  out,"  said  Barbara,  tossing 
her  dark  curls.  And  walk  out  she  did. 
She  went  on  to  further  triumphs  with 
other  dancing  partners  and  told  reporters 
that  she  had  "fired"  Maurice.  On  the 
day  he  heard  that,  his  pride  writhed  like  a 
butterfly  caught  on  a  wheel.  With  fury 
in  his  heart  he  set  out  to  find  Barbara. 
But  he  didn't  find  her  and  in  the  end  he 
died  a  broken  old  man,  defeated  by  a 
seventeen-year-old  chit  of  a  girl  whom  he 
had  tried  to  tame. 

It  wasn't  destined  for  any  man  to  tame 
Barbara  till  Morton  came  along.  Nor  was 
it  easy  for  Morton. 

One  evening  he  saw  a  dark-haired,  dar'c- 
eyed  girl  descending  the  stairway  at  the 
May  fair  Club  in  New  York.  The  girl  of 
his  dreams.  The  girl  he  had  seen  so 
fleetingly  that  night  at  Les  Ambassadeurs 
in  Europe.  He  turned  swiftly  to  his  com- 
panion, "Do  you  know  who  that  girl  is?" 
he  asked  breathlessly. 

"Why,  yes,"  she  laughed.  "She's  the 
girl  who's  going  to  play  in  that  picture 
you've  been  signed  up  for,  'Syncopation.'  " 

"If  you  know  her,  for  heaven's  sake, 
please  introduce  me  to  her,"  he  begged. 
Swiftly  the  introductions  were  made. 

"How  do  you  do?"  said  Morton  warmly, 
as  though  he  could  think  of  nothing  else. 

"How  do  you  do?"  said  Barbara  coldly, 


as  though  her  mind  were  on  something 

else. 

And  that  was  that. 

Several  times  after,  Morton's  friend 
tried  to  arrange  a  date  at  which  Barbara 
would  be  present.  But  Barbara  always 
pleaded  another  engagement.  Even  if  she 
made  an  appointment,  at  the  last  minute 
she'd  call  up  and  break  it. 

"The  devil  with  her,"  thought  young 
Morton.  "If  that's  the  way  she  feels  about 
things,  the  devil  with  her!" 

Only  it  was  strange  how,  in  spite  of  the 
fact  that  he  had  decided  not  to  have  any- 
thing further  to  do  with  her,  he  couldn't 
help  thinking  of  her,  of  her  deep  dark 
eyes  like  pools  of  light  and  shadow,  of 
her  lustrous  hair  and  her  lips  that  were 
warm  with  the  promise  of  her  youth. 

They  met  again  when  they  played  in 
"Syncopation,"  in  which  she  was  the  lead- 
ing lady  and  Morton  the  second  lead.  On 
the  set  he  approached  her.  With  his  usual 
gay,  bantering  manner  he  said,  "Hello. 
I'm  Morton  Downey  in  case  you  don't  re- 
member me.  I  thought  it  was  about  time 
we  got  acquainted." 

"Oh,  yes,"  said  Barbara,  "I  remember 
you  perfectly.'' 

What  the  devil  was  this!  Was  she  giv- 
ing him  the  ritz  again?  Haughty  as  a 
debutante's  was  her  manner,  and  Morton 
was  suddenly  furious.  He  would  have 
liked  to  take  her  by  the  shoulders  and 
shake  her.  He  had  a  good  mind  to  do  it 
right  then  and  there. 

Well,  he'd  try  again.  He'd  give  her  just 
one  more  chance.  "I'm  going  to  a  cocktail 
party  tonight,"  he  said.  "Will  you  come 
with  me  ?" 

"Sorry."  said  Barbara,  "I've  got  an- 
other engagement." 

Morton  turned  red.  This  was  just  a 
little  bit  too  much.  He'd  never  speak  to 
her  as  long  as  he  lived. 

CUDDEXLY  he  was  speaking  to  her,  he 
was  bending  over  her,  he  was  begging 
her  to  tell  him  what  he  could  do  for  her. 
For  Barbara  had  turned  ghastly  pale  and 
was  trembling  all  over.  She  had  eaten 
something  that  disagreed  with  her. 

"I'll  get  you  some  water,"  said  Morton. 
"I'll  get  you  some  medicine.  I'll  get  you 
anything  you  need." 

That  afternoon  Morton's  phone  rang. 
It  was  Barbara  calling.  "About  that  cock- 
tail party,"  she  said,  "do  you  still  want 
me  to  come?" 

"I  should  say  so."  Morton's  voice  was 
jubilant. 

"I  think  I  can  break  my  other  engage- 
ment. Do  you  mind  if  I  bring  a  girl  friend 

along  ?" 

"I  should  say  not.  Bring  her  along. 
Bring  two  girl  friends  along.  Only  come." 

So  Barbara  came.  And  got  sick  again, 
a  repetition  of  the  nausea  that  had  swept 
over  her  that  afternoon.  Morton,  of  course, 
was  at  her  side  all  evening  and  insisted 
on  taking  her  home. 

That  was  the  beginning.  There  followed 
two  weeks  during  which  they  had  dinner 
together  almost  every  day.  Two  weeks  in

which  Morton  took  up  every  spare  mo- 
ment of  Barbara's  time.  But  he  didn't 
know  whether  or  not  he  was  really  making 
an  impression  on  the  girl.  For  a  man 
who  had  always  said.  "Love  is  the  bunk," 
strange  things  were  certainly  happening  to 
him.  So  this  was  love!  The  bunk?  It  was 
Paradise.  It  was  the  dream  Mohammedans 
have  of  heaven,  and  the  most  beautiful 
houri  in  all  the  world  was  the  girl  he  loved. 

Then  one  day  Barbara  floored  him  by 
saying,  "I'm  going  to  Palm  Beach  for  the 
winter,  Mort."  Wasn't  that  just  like  a 
girl?  When  they  were  just  beginning  to 
get  acquainted,  she  was  about  to  leave 
him.  He  wouldn't  sec  her  any  more  for 
a  whole  winter.  Oh,  it  was  unendurable! 

As  for  Barbara,  she'd  had  enough.  She 
realized  she  was  falling  for  Morton.  Was 
she  going  to  surrender  her  will  and  her 
pride  and  her  love  of  life  into  the  keeping 
of  this  man  with  the  grayish  blue  eyes,  the 
dark  hair,  and  the  carefree  manner?  Was 
she,  who  had  never  let  any  man  tame  her, 
going  to  allow  love  to  bend  and  break 
her?  She  thought  not.  So  she  was  taking 
a  train  for  Palm  Beach,  running  away 
from  love  and  life  and  this  jaunty  Irish- 
man. In  Palm  Beach,  away  from  his  in- 
fluence, she  would  know  freedom  once 
again  and  gayety  and  the  independence 
that  distinguishes  all  the  Bennetts. 

She  was  in  Palm  Beach  just  exactly 
two  days.  About  ten  hours  after  she 
arrived  there  she  sent  Morton  a  telegram : 
"Am  coining  back  to  New  York.  Meet 
me  at  the  train  please." 

Morton  was  in  seventh  heaven.  He  had 
so  many  thrilling  things  to  tell  Barbara, 
how  deeply  he  loved  her,  how  much  she 
meant  to  him,  and  how  very  much  he 
wanted  to  marry  her. 

Three  weeks  after  their  first  date.  Mor- 
ton and  Barbara  were  married  in  the 
Chapel  of  the  Blessed  Virgin  in  Saint 
Patrick's  Cathedral. 

As  though  talent  and  ambition  had 
never  coursed  through  her  veins,  Barbara 
?ave  up  her  career.  She  knew  herself  now 
for  a  woman  and  a  woman  who  loved 
leeply  and  who  wanted  children  more  than 
she  wanted  fame.  It  is  true  that  a  year 
ind  a  half  after  their  marriage,  when  Mor- 
on opened  the  Delmonico  Club,  Barbara 
>ffered  to  dance  there,  but  that  was  only 
>ecause  she  could  be  with  Morton  and 
lelp  make  his  venture  a  success. 

Then  a  doctor  told  her  that  if  she  ever 
.vanted  to  have  a  baby,  she  must  still  her 
lancing  feet.  After  that,  for  a  woman 
ike  Barbara  there  could  be  no  choice.  This 
ime  she  gave  up  dancing  forever,  gave  it 
ip  so  that  she  might  have  Sean,  her  boy, 
ind  Lorelle  Ann,  her  little  girl.  Far  dearer 
|0  her  than  any  career  of  her  own  is  the 
lappiness  of  her  children  and  of  Morton. 

That  is  the  true  story  of  how  dark-eyed, 
glamorous,  temperamental  Barbara  was 
amid  by  that  Irish  broth  of  a  boy.  Mor- 
on.  And  also  of  how  that  hell-raising 
ad,  Morton  Downey,  was  tamed  by  a 
lark-eyed  slip  of  a  girl.

THESE  early  spring  days,  with  the 
tang  of  winter  still  in  the  air — how 
inviting  they  are — but  how  hard  on 
the  complexion!  Dried  by  exhilarating 
but  cutting  winds — with  sticky,  sooty 
dust  getting  into  the  pores  and  clinging 
to  the  roughened  surface,  your  skin 
tends  to  become  grimy  and  "muddy 
looking"  and  irritations  develop. 

To  combat  this  ravaging  effect,  partic- 
ular care  is  necessary,  and  skin  specialists 
say  that  cleansing  with  a  pure,  mild  soap, 
at  least  once  a  day,  is  indispensable. 

When  you  use  Resinol  Soap,  you  can 
be  sure  of  thorough,  safe  cleansing,  be- 
cause it  is  a  soap  that  is  kind  to  every 
type  of  skin.  Its  pure,  lightly  medicated 
lather  is  so  creamy,  so  soft,  and  leaves 
your  skin  so  refreshed. 

Now,  the  wind-roughened,  irritated 
skin  surface  is  ready  for  soothing  Resinol 
Ointment.  Its  special  medication  is  just 
what  nature  needs  to  help  heal  the  sore, 
rough,  reddened  spots.  It  acts  so  quickly, 
too.  Just  spread  it  on  lightly  but  freely 
and  you  will  be  amazed  to  see  how  soon 
the  surface  blemishes  and  discomfort 
disappear. 

Your  druggist  sells  Resinol  Ointment 
and  Soap.  Why  not  start  this  treatment 
today — before  these  smiling,  but  rough 
spring  days  can  seriously  mar  your  com- 
plexion? For  free  trial  size  package,

Ointment  and  Soap 


he  met  all  sorts  of  people :  the  good  and 
bad ;  the  kind  and  the  calloused.  Day  in 
and  day  out  he  carried  on  without  a  pro- 
test. There  were  mouths  to  be  fed  at 
home.  Their  lives  depended  on  the  pit- 
tance lie  earned.  Then  suddenly  Tony  got 
sick.  Before  lie  realized  what  was  happen- 
ing he  was  shipped  to  the  West.  It  was 
only  after  endless  months  on  a  hospital  cot 
that  Tony  began  to  mend. 

Doctors  called  it  a  small  miracle  when  he 
came  out  alive.  His  eyes  sparkled  that 
morning  he  was  saying  goodbye  at  the 
sanatorium.  "Doctor,"  he  said.  "I'm  go- 
ing to  make  up  for  lost  time." 

"What  are  you  going  to  do  first,  my 
boy?"  the  old  medico  asked.  How  many 
times  he  had  seen  the  rejuvenated  walk  out 
burning  with  ambition,  only  to  return 
again  for  the  last  time. 

"I'm  going  to  spread  the  philosophy  I 
learned  in  this  exile  to  the  whole  world." 

"And  then.  Tony?" 

"And  then,  doctor — a  girl  to  love  me.  I 
need  a  staff  of  life  to  lean  on." 

Fate  decreed  that  his  first  lecture  take 
place  in  the  sleepy  town  of  Kenosha.  Wis- 
consin. It  was  here,  that  Tony  followed 
his  heart. 

After  the  brilliant  talk,  the  town's  social 
club  gave  an  affair.  Tony  was  guest  of 
honor.  The  town  glowed.  Girls  put  on 
their  Sunday  best  and  the  boys  slicked 
back  their  hair.  The  hamlet's  only  band 
thumped  out  lively  tunes. 

T  OXY  saw  spirit  and  cheer  for  the  first 
time  since  he  quit  his  hospital  cot.  His 
dark,  hungry  eyes  searched  the  room.  In- 
\  iting  lips  and  rosy  cheeks  met  his  gaze. 
Then  his  wandering  glance  saw  her — a 
slim,  little  creature  in  a  simple  blue  frock. 
How  pretty  she  was  !  How  alive  ! 

In  an  instant  they  were  whirling  around 
the  crowded  dance  floor.  His  hungry  arms 
were  satisfied. 

People  gazed  at  them.  The  older  ones 
remarked,  "How  nice  they  look."  The 
young  girls  buzzed,  "Helen  Hill  is  one 
lucky  kid  getting  the  first  dance  with  him." 

When  the  church  clock  chimed  midnight. 
The  music  stopped.  Too  soon,  much  too 
soon,  thought  Tony.  It  was  a  long  time 
since  he  had  slipped  a  smooth,  white  arm, 
under  his  own. 

They  walked  home  in  silence. 

What  was  the  girl  thinking?  It  was 
her  first  real  love.  Her  heart  skipped  fast. 
A  woman's  instinct  told  her  this  was  the 
man.  His  dark  eyes  dazzled  her  blue  ones. 
What  would  her  sister,  Ruby,  say  when 
she  told  her. 

The  Hill  residence  loomed  up  before 
them  at  the  end  of  the  road.  Before  the 
girl  could  say  good-night,  Tony  wras  ask- 
ing to  see  her  the  next  night.  Her  ex- 
cited "yes"  thrilled  him. 

Inside  the  house,  the  girl  flew  up  the 
circular  stairs.  She  was  singing. 

Outside,  Tony  walked  slowly  back  to 
his  hotel  room.  The  moon  was  out.  It 
brightened  the  winding  lane.  So  this  was 
why  he  wanted  to  live.  This  was  the  in- 
centive in  his  fight  against  death. 


Armed  with  candy  and  flowers,  Tonj 
looked  like  a  walking  daguerrotype  whet 
he  arrived  at  the  Hill  residence  the  next 
night.   Mr.  Hill  answered  his  knock. 

"Good  evening,  Mr.  Wons,"  the  man 
chirped,  "Helen  is  busy  dressing.  Will  you 
wait  in  the  parlor.  By  the  way  that  was 
an  excellent  speech  you  made  last  night.' 

Alone  in  the  big  room.  Tony  reflected 
how  nice  Kenosha  was.  He  might  stay  on 
a  while.  Xo,  he  decided,  he  wasn't  in  love 
with  Helen.  She  was  just  one  of  many 
charming  and  pretty  girls.  She  was  just 
a  phase  in  his  search  for  the  one  girl. 

Overhead  was  Helen's  room.  She  danced 
about  putting  the  finishing  touches  to  her 
toilette.  Two  dates  in  a  row — gosh  !— 
this  was  the  biggest  forty-eight  hours  in 
her  whole  life.  For  the  i/th  time  she 
thought  of  Tony's  eyes. 

Tony  looked  up  and  saw  someone  ap- 
proaching. It  wasn't  Helen.  This  girl  was 
taller,  more  mature  like  something  out  of 
a  book.  She  began  to  speak.  But  Tony 
didn't  hear  her  words.  He  just  stared  at 
her  beauty. 

Somewhere  in  his  readings  he  had 
visualized  a  girl  like  this :  Fair,  white, 
sparkling.  Was  she  some  character  step- 
ping out  of  a  romantic  novel.  Or  was  this 
all  a  horrible  nightmare.  Would  he  wake, 
as  usual,  a  sick  man  on  a  burning  pillow? 
A  quotation  that  he  had  once  read  flashed 
before  him — "Paradise  is  to  believe  in  it." 
Yes,  Tony  decided,  this  is  Paradise! 

C  TEPS  were  heard.  It  was  Helen, 
flushed,  pink  and  impatient.  Hurriedly 
she  introduced  her  sister  Ruby  to  Tony. 
They  needed  no  introduction.  They  had 
met  a  long,  long  time  ago. 

Tony  kept  seeing  Helen.  It  was  only 
because  it  gave  him  a  chance  to  gaze  on 
Ruby.  In  his  hotel  room  he  could  not 
sleep.  When  he  looked  out  of  the  window 
her  smile  hid  the  panorama.  When  he 
shaved  in  the  morning,  her  face  flashed 
across  the  mirror. 

He  read  his  tattered  little  book.  In  it 
were  thousands  of  words  written  by  im- 
mortals. He  was  seeking  counsel.  But  they 
couldn't  tell  him  whether  this  was  love. 
Before  he  knew  it  he  was  inscribing  a  note 
in  the  frontispiece  to  Ruby.  He  sent  the 
book  by  messenger. 

The  next  night  Tony  was  again  waiting 
for  Helen  in  the  living  room.  He  won- 
dered if  she  was  suspicious.  How  could 
he  tell  her  that  it  was  Ruby  he  loved? 

Ruby  came  in.  How  long,  Tony  thought, 
would  they  be  alone  ?  Ten  minutes,  five, 
three?  He  noticed  that  she  gazed  strangely 
at  him.  Did  she  get  the  book?  Did  she 
understand? 

In  her  room  Helen  was  trying  to  figure 
it  all  out.  Why  had  Tony  sent  that  book 
to  Ruby  and  not  to  her?  Why  were  the 
words,  "I  hope  you  understand"  inscribed 
on  the  fly-leaf?  Something  was  wrong.  She 
fussed  a  bit  more,  sighed,  and  then  looked 
up  at  the  white  ceiling.  "Please  God,"  she 
whispered,  "Make  Tony  like  me." 

Tony  was  in  a  dilemma.  The  clock  on 
the  mantel  ticked  away  mercilessly.  He

must  tell  her  now!  To  make  it  worse. 
Ruby  was  talking  about  her  sister:  "She's 
a  sweet  kid,  Tony.  Be  nice  to  her;  she's 
crazy  about  you." 

The  words  sounded  familiar.  Suddenly 
Tony  remembered  the  story  of  Priscilla 
and  John  Alden.  How  similar  was  his 
problem  to  that  of  those  Puritans.  Before 
he  knew  what  he  was  doing  his  arms  were 
about  her.  He  was  kissing  her. 

"Why  don't  you  speak  for  yourself, 
Ruby?"  Tony  begged.  "It's  you  I  love, 
dear." 

He  kissed  her  again.  Only  a  silent  figure 
in  the  doorway  saw  their  embrace.  Tears 
dampened  Helen's  handkerchief  as  she 
stumbled  back  to  her  room.  Quietly  she  un- 
dressed. She  reached  for  the  scrapbook 
Tony  had  sent  to  her  sister  and  read: 

"I  was  a  novice  at  the  Game  of  Love. 

When  I  met  you  .  .  .  but  through  your 
deftness  I 

Have  learned  to  bluff  .  .  .  and  have  the 

courage  of 
A  real  good  loser  .  .  .  though  the  stakes 

are  high. 

And  now  you  have  reneged  and  trumped 


my  ace 


for  I  have 


But  I'll  not  follow  suit 
learned 

To  cultivate  a  perfect  "Poker  Face"  .  .  . 

Although  I  lost  the  heart  for  which  I 
yearned.  .  ." 

She  never  finished  the  poem.  She  threw 
the  book  into  the  open  fire  and  closed  that 
chapter  of  her  life. 

She  never  told  anyone  how  she  felt. 
Only  blurred  words  in  her  diary  wrote 
the  last  act.  "Tony  will  never  know  how 
much  I  loved  him." 

Ruby  and  Tony  were  soon  married. 
Kenosha  never  had  a  more  brilliant  wed- 
ding day.  Everyone  seemed  wreathed  in 
smiles.  But  the  maid  of  honor  wore  a 
bitter  smile.  It  seemed  permanently  en- 
graved on  her  face. 

An  old  man  turned  to  her  in  the  midst 
of  the  confusion  and  said,  "What's  the 
matter.  Helen?  You  look  like  you  lost 
your  best  boy  friend?" 

"I  have,"  she  muttered. 

Fourteen  years  later  Tony  Wons  is 
found  spreading  wisdom  and  kindness 
throughout  a  nation.  He  searched  for 
happiness  and  found  it.  So,  he  says,  can 
others  if  you  "Follow  your  heart." 

But  I  wonder  what  poetic  ointment  he 
can  give  to  Helen  Hill?  How  could  he 
mend  her  broken  heart?  She  has  no  scrap- 
book  filled  with  pretty  prose.  Only  a  diary 
tells  the  story.  That,  and  a  sardonic  smile 
that  creases  each  week  she  hears  Tony 
Wons  broadcast. 

"Follow  your  heart"  .  .  .  That's  a  laugh.

EACH  season  of  the  year  sees  an- 
other happy  lot  of  girls  go  con- 
fidently into  marriage.  They  are  so 
young,  so  lovely,  so  light-hearted  about 
it  all.  And  many  of  them  are  as  pitiably 
lacking  in  understanding  as  their 
mothers  were  before  them.  The  older 
women  know  this.  Sometimes  they  are 
rather  inclined  to  be  sad  at  weddings. 


'MY  FRIENDS  WERE 
ALL  CONFUSED" 


It  is  a  shock  to  the  young  wife  to  find 
that  friends  married  for  quite  a  few 
years  are  still  confused  about  the  mat- 
ter of  feminine  hygiene.  Some  of  these 
modern  women  actually  talk  the  way 
her  mother  talks. 

Some  of  them  seem  to  have  changed 
from  method  to  method — as  though  to 
learn  by  trial  and  error.  Surely  this 
cannot  be  right.  Surely  certain  of  these 
methods  could  never  have  been  right.

cleanliness  could  be  attained  in  no  other

Men  may  hate  extreme  styles,  but  there's 
one  beauty  point  that  always  gets  them, 
in  business  or  in  ballrooms.  Lovely  eyesl 
Practice  looking  eager  and  attentive;  two- 
thirds  of  the  trick  of  that  "starry-eyed" 
look  is  a  matter  of  concentration.  The  other 
third  is  a  little  patented  implement  called 
Kurlash.  Slip  your  eyelashes  into  this  for 
a  few  moments  each  morning.  They  emerge 
with  the  lovely,  lasting  curl  Nature  forgot 
to  give  them.  Curled  lashes  look  much  long- 
er and  make  eyes  sparkle  .  .  .  and  Kurlash 
costs  only  $1  at  any  leading  store. 


Men  do  not  like  an  artificial  "beaded"  look 
on  eyelashes,  which  is  why  so  many  profes- 
sional beauties  are  using  new  liquid  mascara 
Lashtint.  $1  buys  a  charming  dressing-table 
bottle  .  .  .  water-proof  and  tear-proof  (re- 
move it  with  cold  cream)  to  make  thin  or 
pale  lashes  appear  dark  and  luxuriant. 


Shopping  or  business  over — and  a  sudden 
urge  for  beauty  overcomes  you!  How  lucky 
you  are  if  out  of  your  handbag  comes 
Lashpac.  From  one  end  a  stick  of  mascara 
pushes  forward  to  use  both  on  lashes  and 
eyebrows.  A  tiny  brush  for  grooming  swings 
from  the  other  end.  Mrs.  D.  N.  writes  that

shoulders  from  the  opera  stage  to  her  car. 

Geraldine  Farrar  had  fulfilled  the  prom- 
ise she  had  made  to  herself — to  retire 
while  still  in  her  glory. 

As  a  young  girl  she  had  stood  in  line 
at  the  Metropolitan,  waiting  to  buy  a 
fifty-cent  seat  in  the  rear  of  the  gallery. 
And  she  had  seen  stars  of  other  years 
entering  the  stage  door,  tragic  women 
with  bitter,  desperate  faces,  wearing  shab- 
by furs  and  sequins.  And  it  had  de- 
pressed her.  They  ruined  the  glory  they 
had  had,  it  seemed  to  her,  by  holding  on 
too  long.  She  wouldn't,  she  vowed.  And 
she  didn't. 

It  was  all  very  fine,  a  grand  gesture. 
But  what  of  the  days  that  followed?  Days 
gradually  emptied  of  all  the  rush  and  fame 
she  so  long  had  known — ever  since  at 
nineteen  she  had  become  the  rage  of  Ber- 
lin singing  "Marguerite?  in  "Faust"  .  .  . 
The  command  performances  before  the 
rulers  of  Europe  .  .  .  And  later  to  be- 
come the  greatest  prima  donna  in  her  own 
country  .  .  .  Days  that  held  no  such  glory 
might  well  have  proved  unendurably  lone- 
ly. Easily  she  might  have  regretted  her 
decision. 

I  asked  her  if  she  had.  We  were  sitting 
together  in  one  of  the  conference  rooms 
of  the  broadcasting  company. 

"No,  I  never  did,"  she  said,  spreading 
her  capable,  well-kept  hands  on  the  table 
before  her,  contemplating  them  for  a 
minute.  "Probably  because  I  was  so  en- 
tirely satisfied  I  had  done  the  right  thing. 

"You  see,  I  was  not  equipped  to  go  on 
indefinitely.  I  was  not  a  dramatic  soprano 
who  could  play  heavy  Wagnerian  roles. 
Always  my  voice  was  delicate.  I  had 
spent  my  life  caring  for  it.  I  had  written 
letters  instead  of  using  a  telephone. 

"Studying  my  roles  mentally  I  came  to 
know  intimately  the  characters  I  played. 
Zaza.  And  Carmen.  And  Butterfly.  They 
all  were  young.  Had  I  continued  to  por- 
tray them  I  would,  to  some  degree,  have 
falsified  them.  And  that  I  could  not  have 
endured.  Any  more  than  you  could  en- 
dure to  place  a  close  and  dear  friend  at 
a  disadvantage." 

kk  ORE  important  it  was  to  Geraldine 
'  Farrar  that  roles  be  sung  properly 
than  that  she  sing  them.  She  was,  there- 
fore, spared  the  reactions  which  a  vain 
woman  in  her  position  would  have  experi- 
enced. Actually,  because  of  that  mental 
life  insurance  I  spoke  of,  she  was  saved 
the  unhappiness  which  otherwise  would 
have  beset  her  at  this  time. 

"I  could  have  kept  on  and  on  .  .  ."  She 
smoothed  the  garnet  velvet  blouse  she 
wore  and  smiled  at  me  out  of  her  lovely 
gray-blue  eyes.  "Audiences  would  have 
been  sentimental  enough  to  have  accepted 
me.  Even  if  the  old  back  had  creaked  a 
little  in  the  attempt  to  be  as  young  and 
lithe  as  I  needed  to  seem.  Even  if  my 
voice  hadn't  been  what  it  had  been  pre- 
viously. 

"But — I  would  have  had  to  face  my 
audiences,  figuratively,  with  my  hands  out- 


stretched, a  supplicant !  And  I  should 
have  hated  that !  For  it  is  an  artist's  job 
to  create  an  illusion.  When  you  can  no 
longer  do  this,  it  is  time  to  stop. 

"We  can't  stand  still.  Any  of  us.  What- 
ever we  do,  whoever  we  are.  And  when 
we  won't  look  this  fact  in  the  face,  when 
we  won't  adjust,  we  run  the  risk  of  be- 
coming ridiculous. 

"No,  I  never  regretted  my  decision.  As 
I  said  before  I  was  always  convinced  that 
what  I  had  done  had  been  the  thing  to  do. 
However,  if  I  had  experienced  any  re- 
grets in  the  beginning,  they  soon  would 
have  disappeared.  For  by  retiring  when  I 
did,  I've  had  the  joy  of  watching  Geraldine 
Farrar  grow  into  a  legend." 

Once  again  she  smiled  at  me  from  her 
lovely  gray-blue  eyes.  Here,  I  think,  in 
their  warm  serenity  and  humor  and  un- 
derstanding, lies  the  secret  of  her  great 
glamour. 

"Will  you  believe  me,"  she  asked,  "when 
I  tell  you  that  today  I  think  of  the  prima 
donna  I  used  to  be,  of  the  famous  Geral- 
dine Farrar,  as  if  she  were  another  per- 
son entirely?" 

I  looked  at  the  charming,  middle-aged 
woman  sitting  there  before  me — remem- 
bering her  as  I  had  seen  her  fourteen 
years  younger,  wearing  chinchilla  and  dia- 
monds— a  great  and  famous  prima  donna 
who  knew  that  when  she  sang  the  opera 
house  would  be  crowded  to  the  doors  and 
to  the  rafters  .  .  .  Had  she  found  the 
adjustment  trying?  So  many  find  it  diffi- 
cult to  say  farewell  to  youth ! 

But  Geraldine  Farrar  declared  that  her 
adjustment  had  not  been  difficult.  "If  I 
had  not  been  willing  to  let  go,  to  adjust, 
it  would  have  been  downright  greedy  of 
me !"  she  said.  "I  had  had  such  a  rich 
life.  I  had  had  so  much." 

She  talked  of  the  physical  collapse  she 
had  suffered  shortly  after  she  retired  from 
the  Metropolitan.  For  years  her  doctor 
had  been  telling  her  she  faced  such  a  col- 
lapse. But  she  had  kept  going,  in  the  way 
so  many  busy  women  do. 

"It  is  possible,  of  course,"  she  said,  "that 
this  very  collapse  saved  me  from  a  diffi- 
cult period  of  readjustment.  For  three 
months  I  remained  in  bed,  too  tired,  once 
I  let  down,  to  care  about  anything. 

"When  I  was  able  to  go  out  again  I 
saw  a  ttee.  For  the  first  time  in  years  I 
really  saw  a  tree!  Does  that  sound  silly? 
Well,  it's  true.  For  it  was  the  first  time 
in  years  that  I  had  time  to  see  a  tree  and 
not  merely  to  be  aware  of  trees  as  part 
of  the  landscape.  I  remember  noticing 
that  elm's  branches,  thick  against  the  early 
Spring  sky.  I  watched,  fascinated,  while 
it  grew  buds,  then  leaves.  And  when  I 
discovered  a  bad  injury  in  its  trunk  I 
sent  for  a  tree  surgeon. 

"Logically  enough  all  this  led  me  to  my 
garden.  The  next  thing  I  knew  I  had  a 
dog.  Then  another  dog  .  .  . 

"I  became  absorbed  in  making  certain 
changes  in  my  house.  Not  really  doing  it 
over,  just  sprucing  it  up.  It's  not  a  pre- 
tentious house  and  it's  not  a  large  hou:e.

lidn't  have  time  to  consider  whether  or

A  messenger  boy  came  with  word  that 
hey  were  waiting  in  the  Board  Room  to

tails of  her  broadcasts.    I  left  her  reluc- 
antly,  as  reluctantly  as  I  had  gone  to  see 
ler.    I   had  been  afraid,  you  see.  that 
ieraldine  Farrar  at  fifty-three  would  let 
me  down.    I  had  found  her  so  glamorous

dlowances   for  the   fact  that   the  same

Scotch  jokes  and  tossing  them  at  me.  Th  ir 
favorite  is  about  the  man  who  went  on  a 
honeymoon  and  left  his  wife  behind  be- 
cause that  way  he  saved  a  railroad  fare. 
I  came  to  America  to  become  a  singer ; 
I  became  a  salesman  of  pianos. 

My  training  in  voice  landed  me  a  job 
as  announcer  on  WGN  and  there  on  Janu- 
ary 12,  1926,  as  part  of  my  routine  I  found 
myself  announcing  a  team  new  to  the  air 
— Sam  and  Henry.  Singers,  speakers,  or- 
chestras, gag  men,  all  flow  through  the 
announcer's  mill.  Grist.  Routine.  They  flow 
by  unnoticed.  But  Sam  and  Henry  made 
an  impression.  We  fell  for  each  other 
on  sight.  It  was  the  beginning  of  a 
friendship  which,  I  hope,  will  never  end. 

At  first  they  made  only  a  small,  imper- 
ceptible dent  on  the  audience.  No  letters 
came.  They  were  doing  it  for  fun,  for 
publicity.  Then  people  began  writing.  They 
got  the  feeling  of  these  unseen  listeners. 
It  sobered  them  overnight  They  were  a 
roustabout  vaudeville  team,  like  hundreds 
of  others.  Radio  was  responsible  for  set- 
tling them,  getting  them  married  among 
other  things,  for  it  was  after  their  first 
taste  of  triumph  at  WGN  that  they  both 
bought  wedding  rings  and  used  them. 

It  is  one  of  my  glories  that  no  one  else, 
except  when  I  have  been  ill  or  on  vacation, 
has  ever  announced  them.  When  WMAQ, 
of  Chicago,  was  hunting  new  talent,  they 
took  me  as  sales  manager  and  I  think  I 
had  something  to  do  with  their  taking  Sam 
and  Henry.  But  Sam  and  Henry  died  on 
the  voyage  across  town.  Died  or  swallowed 
a  pill  for  when  they  arrived  at  WMAQ 
for  their  first  broadcast  on  March  19, 
1928,  they  had  become  Amos  'n'  Andy. 

As  Amos  'n'  Andy,  they  established 
the  rule  which  is  a  law  today.  No  one  but 
the  announcer  shall  be  present  during  a 
broadcast.  I  have  been  saying  Here  they 
are  for  nigh  on  seven  years  now.  You'd 
think  being  the  only  observer  of  their 
nearly  four  thousand  broadcasts,  would 
give  me  a  lot  of  inside  dope.  If  there  was 
any,  I  would  know  it.  Our  relations  ex- 
tend beyond  the  studios.  We  have  lunched, 
dined,  vacationed,  fished  and  golfed  to- 
gether. Weeks,  months  may  go  by  and 
we  will  not  see  each  other  except  at  the 
microphone.  They  have  helped  me  when  I 
was  sick,  with  flowers,  books  and  atten- 
tion ;  they  have  helped  me  in  business 
ways,  after  the  stock  market  crash,  for 
example. 

CO  you  see,  I  know  them  at  work  and  at 
play,  and  all  I  can  say  is  that  they're 
two  gifted  men,  simple  in  their  tastes. 
Together  they  form  the  great  genius  of 
radio.  Some  men  are  born  to  be  painters, 
they  were  born  for  the  mike.  A  lot  of 
people  like  John  Dewey,  the  educator,  and 
A.  A.  Brill,  the  psychologist  have  tried 
to  explain  them — and  failed. 

Yet  their  life,  except  for  one  part  of 
it,  is  wide  open  for  inspection.  That  part 
of  it  I  know  very  little  about.  It  has  to 
do  with  the  writing  of  their  programs.  I 
know  that  at  about  three  o'clock  each 
day  they  lock  themselves  in  their  office  and 


hang  a  "do  not  disturb"  sign  on  the  door. 

Andy  (Correll).  the  bully,  crouches  over 
the  typewriter  while  Amu,,  the  browbeaten, 
strides  the  floor  and  dictates.  Cigar  smoke 
fills  the  air.  They  argue,  they  act — this  I 
know  for  I  have  heard  the  sound  of  their 
voices  through  the  closed  door.  Sometimes, 
they  are  done  in  half  an  hour;  sometimes 
they  struggle  along  until  a  few  minutes 
before  broadcast  time.  The  script  they 
manufacture  in  that  office  is  the  script  they 
read  that  night  on  the  air. 

Along  the  margins  are  clues  to  the  mood: 
words  like  "lazy,"  "snappy,"  "gay,"  "sad," 
etc.  They  are  for  their  own  guidance, 
but  they  help  me  too.  I  do  not  see  the 
script  until  a  few  minutes  before  the  pro- 
gram opens.  My  closing  speech  I  always 
ad  lib.  Kach  episode  comes  to  me  at  the 
same  time  as  it  comes  to  you.  And  I  am 
fully  as  much  interested.  Remarkable, 
what?  I  have  tried  at  various  times  to 
forecast  the  outcome  of  one  of  their  ad- 
ventures. Most  of  the  times  I  have  failed. 

I  always  arrive  about  ten  minutes  ahead 
of  time  and  sometimes  the  boys  are  equally 
early.  If  there  is  nothing  else  to  do,  we 
gather  around  a  piano  and  sing.  They 
never  seem  to  be  worried  about  the  pro- 
gram that  is  to  follow  in  a  few  minutes. 

More  often  they  arrive  a  minute  or  less 
before  the  broadcast  is  due.  They  give  the 
studio  executives  heart  failure.  But  they 
have  missed  their  nightly  appointment  only 
once.  You  can  usually  hear  them  in  the 
corridor.  Andy  has  a  way  of  jingling  the 
coins  in  his  pocket.  Amos  is  a  great  lad  for 
friendships  and  you  can  hear  him  by  the 
"hellos"  and  "how-are-yous"  he  tosses  here 
and  there  as  he  hotfoots  to  the  studio. 

Once  they  forgot  the  script,  but  they  got 
away  with  it.  They  ad  libbed  as  they  went 
along.  One  advantage  of  writing  their  own 
scripts.  Other  stars  I  can  mention  would 
have  been  completely  paralyzed.  The 
script  was  sent  for  in  plenty  of  time,  but 
you  know  a  Chicago  blizzard  and  there 
were  no  taxis.  I  could  sympathize  because 
I  was  in  the  same  spot  the  night  I  grabbed 
up  the  wrong  script,  rushing  in  from  an- 
other broadcast  I  had  been  announcing.  I 
was  obliged  to  compose  my  remarks  as  I 
went  along.  I  had  to  do  it  on  another  oc- 
casion when  the  script  fell  off  the  read- 
ing table. 

THERE  have  been  a  lot  of  stories  about 
how  the  program  is  broadcast.  Some 
have  reported  that  the  two  actors  sit 
down  at  a  table  opposite  each  other,  in 
their  shirt  sleeves,  and  talk  into  separate 
microphones.  They  do  it  this  way  some- 
times, it  is  true,  but  they  have  no  fixed 
rule.  During  the  famous  breach  of 
promise  suit  of  Madame  Queen,  the  two 
men  did  so  much  walking  that  they  were 
dog  tired.  They  did  it  to  simulate  the  | 
noise  of  spectators  shuffling  in  and  out  of 
a  court  room. 

Most  of  the  questions  asked  me  boil 
down  to  this :  Is  it  really  true  that  these 
two  men  do  all  these  characters  without 
outside  help  of  any  kind.  I  don't  blame  the 
world  for  asking.  But  it's  true,  they  do.

Gosden  is  the  most  versatile  in  this 
respect.  In  addition  to  Amos,  he  enacts  the 
King  fish,  Brother  Crawford,  and  ahout 
seventy  per  cent,  of  all  the  other  charac- 
ters. I  can't  help  smiling  when  Amos  does 
the  Kingfish.  He  screws  his  face  up  into 
the  expression  a  man  might  make  when 
fating  a  raw  persimmon,  leans  back  three 
feet  from  the  microphone — and  there  we 
have  it.  For  Brother  Crawford,  he  keeps 
ipproximately  the  same  distance  but  gets 
the  peculiar  spasmodic  quality  you  know  so 
well  by  pumping  himself  up  and  down  in 
ir.  armchair. 

When,  in  the  breach  of  promise  suit,  the 
ail  iff  called  for  order  in  the  court,  it  was 
josden  who  said  the  words,  stationed  eight 
reet  from  the  mike,  saying  them  up  in  the 
lir  through  cupped  hands.  In  taking  the 
lart  of  the  judge  he  moved  a  little  closer 
o  the  mike,  but  threw  his  head  back,  his 
tomach  forward,  softened  his  voice  and 
ntroduced  a  little  judicial  dignity.  But  the 
nost  extraordinary  doubling  took  place 
vhen  Gosden  not  only  gave  us  Brother 
Jrawford  but  the  voice  of  the  prosecuting 
ittorney  who  was  questioning  him  as  well, 
t  meant  a  twisting  and  swinging  back  and 
orth  from  the  mike  that  completely  ex- 
lausted  the  actor. 

f*ORRELL  had  the  same  job  to  do  when 
^  he  enacted  both  the  part  of  Andy  and 
,:hat  of  Lawyer  Collins  who  was  qucstion- 
ng  him.  For  all  of  these  doublings  back 
ind  forth.  I  can  remember  only  one  mis- 
lake.  It  happened  after  they  had  done 
pver  two  thousand  episodes,  enacted  one 
lundred-seventy  characters — and  the  mis- 
:ake  was  the  most  trifling :  Amos  simply 


forgot  to  change  his  voice.  It  hasn't  hap- 
pened again. 

The  greatest  thrill  the  two  men  expe- 
rienced since  they  went  on  the  air  oc- 
curred last  summer  when  they  spoke  to 
each  other,  the  one  from  England,  the 
other  from  Alaska,  via  the  radio,  with  the 
public  listening  in.  How  do  I  know  it 
was  their  greatest  thrill.  Well,  if  you 
have  been  listening  to  the  same  voices  for 
as  many  years  as  I  have,  known  their  au- 
thors as  intimately,  you  would  be  able  to 
tell  and  if  you  don't  believe  me,  ask  A 
and  A. 

The  friendship  between  them  is  a  mir- 
acle all  by  itself.  It's  not  one  of  those 
stage  associations  which  dissolves  into 
vendetta  the  moment  the  program  is  off 
the  air.  Just  as  they  supplement  each 
other  at  the  mike,  they  do  in  their  social 
life.  Why,  they  are  even  neighbors  in  a 
large  Chicago  apartment,  and  except  for 
sleeping,  all  their  time  is  spent  in  each 
other's  company.  I  think  that  this  warmth 
of  feeling  that  exists  between  them  ac- 
counts for  much  of  their  popularity.  You 
can't  fool  the  public  all  the  time  and  teams 
with  rancorous  relations  never  last  long. 

I  have  seen  them  drop  into  chairs  at  the 
end  of  a  broadcast  weeping,  overcome  by 
the  emotion  induced  by  the  parts  they  were 
acting.  I  have  seen  them  come  into  the 
studio  as  blue  as  indigo  and  step  out  in 
high  spirits  simply  because  the  script  that 
night  was  a  hilarious  one.  That  goes  for 
their  work.  In  private  life,  they  buckle 
up  their  emotions.  They  don't  wear  their 
hearts  on  their  sleeves.  They  let  their  ac- 
tions talk.  They  have  scores  of  friends 
and  their  private  charity  list  is  the  longest 


in  the  radio  world— to  my  own  knowledge. 

1  f  I  am  any  judge  of  these  matters,  they 
will  go  on  for  years  to  come.  There  arc 
rumors  that  they  will  go  off  the  air,  fol- 
low the  Goldbergs  (another  program  for 
which  I  announced)  into  limbo.  These  ru- 
mors have  gone  the  rounds  before.  They 
have  never  been  true,  they  aren't  true  now. 

As  for  myself — this  to  you  who  are 
foolish  enough  to  have  any  curiosity  about 
an  announcer — I  am  past  forty ;  weigh 
one  hundred-seventy-eight ;  stand  five  feet 
eleven.  I  am  married  and  my  hobbies  are 
golf  and  fishing,  especially  golf,  a  good 
Scotch  game.  I  earned  a  lot  of  kidding 
when  I  went  so  far  as  to  play  through  an 
entire  winter,  not  excepting  days  when  the 
links  were  covered  with  snow.  Golf  ex- 
plains my  health. 

My  funniest  experience  was  on  a  steamer 
over  an  obscure  river  in  Alaska.  In  the 
captain's  cabin  was,  oddly  enough,  a  big 
Amos  'n'  Andy  banner.  We  spent  Christ- 
mas on  that  steamer  and  I  wrapped  the 
banner  about  me,  wore  a  belt  of  tooth- 
paste tubes  and  a  thorny  crown  of  tooth- 
brushes. Wras  I  the  belle  of  the  ball?  Well, 
I  ask  you.

AMONG  ihe  gay  young  moderns  who  set  the  pace  lor  what's  correct.  Miss 
Anne  Parle  plays  an  important  part.  What's  new  in  clothes,  places  to  dine, 
things  to  see,  perfumes  to  use  —  she  knows  what's  "being  done."  It  is  not  sur- 
prising therefore,  to  learn  of  her  preference  for  FAOEN. 

"To  me,"  she  says,  "perfume  must  express  romance.  FAOEN  suggests  it  »o 
subtly  and  yet  so  definitely  that  I  really  prefer  it  to  more  costly  scents." 
Miss  Parke  is  right — FAOEN's  fragrance  makes  every  occasion  rife  with 
romantic  possibilities.  There's  sheer  magic  in  the  way  it  transforms  comeliness 
into  irresistible  glamour   Lei  FAOEN  show  you  the  way  to  enchanlmenti

IT  CORRECTED 
MY  CONSTIPATION 
IN  NO  TIME! 


Thousands  Now  Get  Safe 
Relief  from  Indigestion, 
Skin  Troubles,  "Nerves" 
with  this  Pasteurized  Yeast 

DO  you  want  to  stop  indigestion, 
pimples  and  boils,  "jumpy "  nerves, 
and  all  the  other  annoying  ills  caused 
by  a  sluggish  system?  You  do?  Then 
try  this  improved  pasteurized  yeast. 
Thousands  have  found  that  this  re- 
markable corrective  food  ends  consti- 
pation and  related  ills  for  good! 

Science  now  knows  that  in  countless 
cases  of  constipation  the  real  cause  is 
insufficient  vitamin  B  complex.  The 
stomach  and  intestines,  deprived  of 
this  essential  element,  no  longer  do 
their  work  properly.  Elimination  be- 
comes incomplete  and  irregular.  Diges- 
tion slows  up.  Poisons  accumulate  in 
your  system. 

Yeast  Foam  Tablets  supply  the  vita- 
min B  which  is  necessary  to  correct 
this  condition.  These  tablets  are  pure 
pasteurized  yeast  —  and  yeast  is  the 
richest  known  food  source  of  the 
vitamin  B  complex.  This  improved 
yeast  quickly  strengthens  your  internal 
muscles  and  gives  them  tone.  It  stimu- 
lates your  whole  digestive  and  elimi- 
native  system  to  normal,  healthy  func- 
tion. 

With  the  true  cause  of  your  trouble 
corrected,  constipation  soon  goes.  Indi- 
gestion stops.  Pimples  disappear.  Pep 
returns.  You  really  live  again! 

Don't  confuse  Yeast  Foam  Tablets 
with  ordinary  yeast.  These  tablets  can- 
not cause  fermentation  in  the  body.  Pas- 
teurization makes  Yeast  Foam  Tablets 
safe  for  everyone  to  eat. 

Any  druggist  will  supply  you  with 
Yeast  Foam  Tablets.  The  10-day  bottle 
costs  only  50c.  Get

4  Years  of  Love 


(Continued  from  page  27) 


promises  to  wed?  He  would  think  her 
fickle,  temperamental,  unreliable!  Perhaps 
she  had  been !  But  given  a  chance,  she 
wouldn't  be  any  more !  But  how  was  he 
to  know  that?  Her  record  was  against 
her. 

Her  thoughts  drifted  back  to  October, 
1923.  She  had  been  in  love  with  T. 
Markoe  Robinson.  But  when  the  time  had 
come  to  marry,  all  the  wealth  he  had 
hadn't  seemed  enough  to  replace  the  free- 
dom she  felt  necessary  for  the  success  of 
her  career. 

A  \'D  people  still  loved  to  talk  about  her 
engagement  to  George  Biddle,  wealthy 
heir  of  the  Philadelphia  Biddies ;  loved  to 
repeat  the  rumor  that  he  didn't  marry  her 
because  his  family  objected  to  his  having 
a  Broadway  singer  for  a  wife.  She  had 
met  George  when  he  was  studying  in 
Paris.  George,  a  painter  of  the  artist 
colonies,  cut  a  romantic  figure.  George, 
who  had  travelled  in  the  South  Seas  .  .  . 
George,  the  ardent  lovemaker ! 

Grace's  mouth  twisted  in  a  wry  smile 
as  she  recalled  the  newspaper  accounts  of 
the  statement  she  had  made  as  she 
descended  the  gangplank  of  the  Aquitania 
on  her  return  from  Paris  just  one  year 
later. 

"George  Biddle?  Oh,  yes.  I  was  en- 
gaged to  him  once.  Ah,  a  nice  boy,  but 
he  wanted  to  marry  too  soon.  Do  you 
know,  I've  met  the  Prince  de  San  Faustino 
of  Naples ;  a  charming  chap !  He's  coming 
to  America  soon.  Yes,  I'll  marry  him 
soon." 

But  she  hadn't  married  him !  And  the 
newspapers,  eager  for  a  new  romance, 
sought  to  tie  her  either  to  Oscar  Shaw, 
with  whom  she  played  the  next  year  in 
the  "Music  Box  Revue,"  or  to  John  Steele, 
the  musical  comedy  tenor  with  whom  she 
sang  "IVhat'll  I  Do  When  You  Are  Far 
Away?" 

"Mr.  Steele  has  a  beautiful  voice,"  the 
newspapers  had  finally  quoted  her  as 
saying,  "and  I  dearly  love  to  hear  him 
sing.  But,  marry  him?  No  ...  I  wouldn't 
marry  him,  principally  because  I  think 
Mr.  Steele's  chief  talent  is  singing." 

And  later  she  said,  to  a  friend :  "I 
think  everyone  should  get  married  at  least 
once.  I  hope  my  husband  will  belong  to 
some  profession  kindred  to  singing — but  it 
would  be  awfully  hard  luck  to  marry  a 
tenor !  I  have  an  idea  most  tenors  are 
stupid." 

The  throb  of  the  ship's  engines  brought 
her  back  to  the  present.  Valentin  cer- 
tainly wasn't  stupid,  she  reflected.  What 
would  he  think  about  all  this?  She 
turned  and  went  back  to  bed.  Not  until 
the  morning  sun  brushed  her  hair,  did  she 
fall  into  troubled  slumber. 

When  the  boat  docked,  Grace  and  Val- 
entin did  not  part,  as  do  most  couples 
after  brief  ocean-voyage  romances.  They 
had  planned  to  be  together  as  much  as 
possible  on  the  continent.  They  spent 
ecstatically  happy  days  on  the  Riviera,  gay 
nights  in  Paris. 

She  knew  that  he  was  going  to  ask  her 


to  marry  him.  He  knew  that  she  knew. 
She  said  "Yes"  with  a  fervor  she  never 
had  felt  before.  So  far,  Valentin  had  dis- 
played no  jealousy.  But  doubt  still 
troubled  her.  Perhaps  Latins  change  after 
marriage.  .  .  . 

As  she  stood  with  him  at  the  City  Hall 
in  Cannes,  France,  waiting  for  the  mayor 
to  say  the  word  that  would  make  them 
man  and  wife,  Grace  glanced  at  the  ffrov 
of  distinguished,  cosmopolitan  friends  who 
had  gathered  to  be  with  her  at  her 
wedding.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Arturo  Toscanini, 
Mrs.  W.  K.  Vanderbilt.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Michael  Arlen,  Gloria  Swanson,  Charles 
Chaplin.  .  .  .  Did  they  know  how  happy 
she  was?  Could  they  believe  that  at  last 
she  had  found  what  she  had  hoped  for 
so  long? 

She  gazed  for  a  moment  out  of  the 
window.  Natives  of  the  old  French  city 
thronged  the  side  streets,  waiting  for  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Valentin  Parera  to  emerge  from 
the  City  Hall.  Flowers  were  everywhere. 
The  city,  so  familiar  to  Grace,  was  more 
romantically  colorful  than  ever.  As  the 
mayor  intoned  the  ceremony,  she  chanted 
her  own  little  prayer  to  herself:  "Don't 
let  him  ever  be  jealous  of  anything  I  do 
or  have  done !" 

A  few  hours  later,  Grace  and  Valentin 
were  seated  in  a  compartment  of  the  Rome 
express,  bound  tor  Naples  and  the  old 
palace  where  they  were  to  spend  their 
honeymoon.  In  the  Naples  of  song,  where 
love  and  freedom  from  care  bubble  in 
people's  hearts,  they  were  to  forget  every- 
thing but  themselves. 

Such  was  the  happy  and  auspicious  be- 
ginning of  their  married  life.  But  would 
this  happiness  last,  Grace  Moore  asked 
herself. 

Could  it  last? 

Four  years  of  marriage  can  change  a 
great  many  things.  It  gives  people  time 
to  think,  to  magnify  doubts.  Four  years 
gave  Valentin  ample  time  to  display  the 
jealousy  credited  to  his  race.  But,  did  he? 
Here  is  the  answer : 

THERE   is   a  house   in   Beverly  Hills. 

California,  in  which  Jascha  Heifetz  and 
Florence  Yidor,  Irving  Thalberg  and 
Norma  Shearer,  and  other  noted  couples 
have  spent  their  honeymoons.  It  is  called 
Honeymoon  House.  A  house  wrapped  in 
a  spell  of  romance.  Living  there  now. 
after  four  years  of  marriage,  are  Grace 
Moore  and  Valentin  Parera.  Four  years 
of  honeymoon.  Four  years  of  love.  There 
are  no  regrets  for  the  past.  No  jealousies. 
Valentin  admires  the  woman  who  had  the 
courage  to  change  her  mind,  to  say  "No ' 
at  the  right  time.  He  loves  the  woman 
who  said  "Yes"  and  stuck  to  it  at  what  he 
and  she  both  are  quite  certain  was  the 
right  time.

Gangway  for  the

utcher  and  the  baker,  if  you're  ambitious, 
jre  going  to  get  your  chance  this  year. 
|  Major  Bowes,  remember,  didn't  invent 
tnateur  shows.  They  have  been  with  us 
nee  strawberry  festival  time.  His  all-im- 
.trtant  invention  was  the  gong. 
The    old    amateur    shows,    you  know7, 
ere  entertaining  because  of  the  hook — 
long  black  hook  which  reached  out  from 
ie  wings  and  hauled  the  sour  and  incom- 
.•tent  performer  off  the  stage.  With  no 
xilogies  to  anyone,  with  business-like  dis- 
itch.  it  curled  out  from  the  wings,  snug- 
ed  firmly  about  the  protesting  waist  of 
ie  would-be  star  and  yanked  him  to  ob- 
vion. 

I  Maybe  you've  already  seen  it,  and 
ipped  your  stays  at  the  discomfiture  of 
ie  actor.  Our  friends  and  neighbors,  bless 
m,  have  a  slumbering  streak  of  deviltry 
lat  enjoys  somebody  else's  misfortune, 
ven  as  you  and  I.    And  that  hook,  used 

jidiciously  by  an  astute  stage  manager, 
"ought    more    joy    to    weary  vaudeville 

|itrons  than  all  the  jugglers  in  China. 

So  Major  Bowes  gave  radio  a  hook,  but 
:  called  it  a  gong.  And  what  a  gong ! 
's  crashing  "bong!"  overwhelms  and  con- 

judes  any  effort  any  performer  might  be 
aking.    That   the   radio  audience  loves 

f  is  proved  by  their  applause. 
Others  have  taken  their  cue  from  the 
ajor.   The  Ray  Perkins  players  employ 
vigorous  (7-chord  from  the  entire  brass 
ction  of  the  orchestra.  Fred  Allen  uses 
dinner  bell.  And  the  net  result  is  simply 
is :  the  poor  old  amateur  who  was  pushed 
ound   the   studios   and   kicked   out  of 
iditions  and  made  to  feel  like  something 
wer  than   a   worm's   whiskers   is  now 
eeted  with  open  arms  and  pipes  of  peace, 
e  or  she  is  sought  after  and  lionized. 
For  it,  you  can  thank  Major  Bowes. 
Back  in  March,  1934.  he  started  with 
trickle  of  fifteen  amateurs  on  WHX,  a 

'ckle  that  has  become  the  flood  of  today 
th  five  thousand  applicants  a  week, 
lough  flanked  by  the  high-powered  stars

amateur  night  managed  by  sheer  show- 

anship  to  capture  eighty  per  cent,  of  the 
tening  audience  in  the  New  York  area, 
hich  is  something  no  hinky-dink  station 
s  eve»  done  before.    It  started  out  as  a 
teen-minute  affair.     Now   it  goes  for 
I  Ihour  and  a  half. 
Back    in    the    old    days    the  audience 
>>e  the  winners,  expressing  itself  by  the 
llumc  of  applause.    Major  Bowes  sub- 
tuted  telephone  voting.    His  four-trunk 
itehboard    became    obsolete  overnight,

Life  insurance  companies  tell  us 
that  the  gradual  breakdown  of  the 
human  body  causes  more  deaths 
every  year  than  disease  germs 

IF  your  physical  let-down  is  caused  by  a 
lowered  red-blood-cell  and  hemo-glo-biii 
content  in  the  blood — then  S.S.S.  is  waiting 
to  help  you  . . .  though,  if  you  suspect  an 
organic  trouble,  you  will,  of  course,  want 
to  consult  a  physician  or  surgeon. 

S.S.S.  is  not  just  a  so-called  tonic.  It  is 
a  tonic  specially  designed  to  stimulate  gas- 
tric secretions,  and  also  has  the  mineral 
elements  so  very,  very  necessary  in  rebuild- 
ing the  oxygen-carrying  hemo-glo-bin  of 
the  blood. 

This  two-fold  purpose  is  important.  Diges- 
tion is  improved  ...  food  is  better  utilized 
. . .  and  thus  you  are  enabled  to  better  "car- 
ry on"  without  exhaustion — as  you  should. 

You  should  feel  and  look  years  younger 
with  life  giving  and  purifying  blood  surg- 
ing through  your  body.  You  owe  this  to 
yourself  and  friends. 

Make  S.S.S  your  health  safeguard  and, 
unless  your  case  is  exceptional,  you  should 
soon  enjoy  again  the  satisfaction  of  appe- 
tizing food  . . .  sound  sleep  . . .  steady  nerves 
...  a  good  complexion  .  .  .  and  renewed 
strength. 

S.S.S.  is  sold  by  all  drug  stores  in  two 
convenient  sizes.  The  $2  economy  size  is 
twice  as  large  as  the  $1.25  regular  size  and 
is  sufficient  for  two  weeks  treatment.  Begin 
on  the  uproad  today. 

Do  not  be  blinded  by  the  efforts  of  a 
few  unethical  dealers  who  may  suggest 
that  you  gamble  with  substitutes.  You 
have  a  right  to  insist  that  S.S.S.  be  sup- 
plied you  on  request.  Its  long  years  of  pref- 
erence is  your  guarantee  of  satisfaction.

Fields,  a  bald-headed  little  man.  talkctl 
right  up  to  the  Major.  He  said  he  could 
imitate  anything. 

"Anything?"  queried  the  Major. 

"Anything  and  everything."  replied 
Fields. 

It  was  a  challenge.  Bowes  tried  him  on 
dripping  water,  a  rhinoceros,  a  pheasant, 
a  tree  toad — the  mimicry  was  perfect. 
Then  the  Major  asked  the  radio  audience 
to  suggest  problems  for  the  imitator. 
Within  twenty  minutes  one  hundred  and 
fifty  subjects  for  the  mimic  came  in  over 
the  telephone,  everything  from  the  sound 
of  hatching  caviar  to  the  call  of  a  bald- 
headed  eagle. 

TH  AT  same  program  brought  to  the  mike 
a  Park  Avenue  debutante  with  a  harp ; 
a  Belfast  taxicab  driver  with  a  tenor  voice, 
an  Oklahoma  oil  toter  who  had  come  East 
lor  his  baritone  audition,  an  exiled  Ger- 
man professor  who  earned  his  living  as  a 
stoker.  There  was  also  one  who  called 
himself:  "The  Sweet  Singer  of  the  Sub- 
way." 

Bowes  nettled  the  "Sweet  Singer."  "Do 
you  mean  you  work  in  the  subway — as  a 
guard?"  he  asked. 

"Sure  ....  it's  my  profession." 

"It's  not  a  very  nice  profession,  packing 
people  in.  throwing  them  around." 

"Let  me  tell  you,  subway  guards  are 
okay,"  said  the  guard,  reddening  up  to  his 
hair  roots,  and  taking  a  step  toward  the 
Major. 

It  looked  bad  for  the  Master  of  Cere- 
monies. This  guard  was  built  like  a 
Sequoia.  He  could  have  snapped  the 
Major  between  thumb  and  forefinger. 

"I'm  beginning  to  think  they're  all  right," 
said  the  Major,  tactfully. 

"Sure,  they're  all  right!  Gee,  you  should 
be  there  in  rush  hours — trains  coming  in 
every  minute.  Wham!  They  rush  into 
the  train.  You  gotta  close  the  doors,  and 
you  can't  pull  'em  out,  so  we  push  'em  in !" 

And  then  he  sang — beautifully.  So  well 
that  the  Major  was  interested  and  invited 
him  to  see  him  after  the  broadcast.  That 
means  an  engagement  for  the  "Sweet 
Singer,"  either  on  the  air  or  in  vaudeville. 
W  hile  Fields  was  getting  his  eighteen 
hundred  calls,  the  guard  piled  up  four- 
teen hundred — all  over  the  same  switch- 
board in  the  same  hour! 

There  are  many  tales  told  in  the  WHX 
corridors,  of  amateurs  who  have  gone  on 
to  recognition  after  appearing  on  the 
Bowes'  program,  such  as  the  soprano,  Anna 
Anderson,  now  a  regular  on  a  commercial 
radio  broadcast,  or  the  sea  captain  whose 
instrument  for  reproducing  church  chimes 
interested  Paul  Whiteman,  or  a  hundred 
others. 

Well,  that  is  the  story  of  the  man  who 
bred  the  germ  that  infected  the  whole 
broadcasting  business  and  is  now  a  national 
epidemic ! 

How  can  you  profit  by  it? 

As  a  writer  living  in  New  York,  I 
think  first  in  terms  of  this  city.  But  I'm 
not  blind  to  the  fact  that  out-of-towners 
are  just  as  talented  and  ambitious  as  any 
local  prodigy.  Nor  am  I  blind  to  the  fact 
that  certain  complications  beset  the  out- 
of-towner  who  wants  a  chance.  I'll  get 
to  them  in  a  minute. 


C  [RST,  though,  if  you're  within  travel- 
inn  distance  of  Manhattan,  you  can 
apply  to  WHX.  as  I  have  said.  Or  write 
to  Arnold  Johnson,  in  care  of  Columbia 
Broadcasting  System,  485  Madison  Ave- 
nue, New  York.  Or  apply  to  the  gentle- 
man known  as  Uncle  Jim  (his  last  name 
is  Harkness)  at  Station  WMCA,  1697 
Broadway,  Xew  York.  Uncle  Jim  has  his 
own  amateur  hour  on  WMCA  and  he 
selects  the  lucky  ones  who  are  employed 
by  Fred  Allen  and  his  Bedlamville  Town 
Hall. 

Station  WOR  in  New  York  has  two 
amateur  groups,  one  for  children.  You 
can  get  a  hearing  by  writing  Conti,  151 
Varick  Street,  Xew  York  City,  or  if  you 
have  a  youngster  who  is  another  Bab 
Rose  Marie,  see  Harry  Mack  at  the  WOR 
studios,  Xewark,  Xew  Jersey. 

Of  all  the  Big  Time  broadcasters,  Kate 
Smith  seems  to  offer  the  greatest  chance 
for  the  out-of-towner.  She  travels  from 
city  to  city,  seeking  people  of  talent — o 
that  is  her  plan  as  this  is  written.  Sh 
tells,  during  her  broadcast,  just  how  t 
get  in  touch  with  the  right  people.  On 
more,  out-of-towners,  I  hear  rumors  tk 
both  Fred  Allen  and  Ray  Perkins 
thinking  of  going  on  a  coast-to-coast 
border-to-border  hegira.  If  they  do,  it's 
your  chance,  so  watch  for  it. 

One  thing  is  almost  certain.  By  the  tin 
you  read  this,  most  cities  will  be  present- 
ing amateur  hours  over  their  local  station 
Look  around  in  your  own  home  town  an 
you  may  get  your  opportunity  right  there 

Xow.  what  if  you  follow  directions  and 
don't  get  anywhere?  Well,  let  me  say 
this.  Any  writer  who  tries  to  tell  folk 
how  to  go  on  the  air  in  a  magazine  that 
has  to  be  printed  weeks  ahead  of  the  day 
it  is  scheduled  to  hit  the  newsstands  is 
sticking  his  chin  out  in  the  way  of  trouble 
Almost  certainly,  some  of  these  direction 
will  be  wrong.  Some  of  the  programs 
mentioned  may  have  changed  their  policies 
or  have  gone  off  the  air  entirely.  Again, 
there  may  be  new  ones  starting  up. 

Listen  to  your  radio,  listen  to 
amateur  hours  you  know  about  and  see 
what  they  tell  you  to  do.  If.  having  done 
that,  you  still  can't  get  anywhere,  just  put 
it  down  in  your  little  red  book  that  you're 
one  of  God's  stepchildren  and  1935  isn't 
to  be  your  big  year.  But  it'll  come,  you 
betcha. 

Someone  asked  me  the  other  day  if  the 
people  we  hear  on  the  big  radio  broadcasts 
are  amateurs  or  professionals  hired  to  act 
like  amateurs.  They're  Simon-pure  and 
dyed-in-the-wool  amateurs.  I've  seen  then 
with  my  own  eyes.  I've  read  some  of 
their  letters  asking  for  auditions.  Here 
are  samples : 

Dear  Major  Bozves: 

I  'was  listening  to  your  program  the 
other  night  and  heard  you  announce 
that  you  were  looking  for  a  prima-

could  give  mc  an  audience.  .  .  . 

Dear  Major  Boices: 

I  respectfully  wish  to  call  your  at- 
tention to  a  most  remarkable  whistle 
which  I  make  through  my  nose.  J  dis- 
covered this  some  years  ago  in  Ireland 
and  it  is  the  source  of  considerable 
amusement  to  young  and  adult 
people.  .  .  .

"How  deeply  embarrassed  I  was  when 
I  accidentally  overheard  someone  call 
my  home  'the  house  with  the  shabby

couldn't  afford  to  buy  all  the  shades  I 
needed.  Luckily  I  found  Clopays,  the 
remarkablefibre  window  shades  that 
cost  only  15c  each.  Now  there  are  no

Not  only  all  the  popular  plain  colors, 
but  so  many  lovely  chintz  patterns 
that  harmonize  with  any  decoration

Clopays  actually  outlast  shades  that 
cost  me  3  or  4  times  as  much."

get  the  most  out  of  your  classes  and  tutor 
on  the  side  you  must  have  a  free  mind." 

Bob  Simmons,  as  you  may  have  read,  is 
the  son  of  a  Methodist  minister.  The 
Simmons',  however,  were  not  a  dreary,  re- 
ligious family.  They  were  practical  Chris- 
tians. They  believed  in  happiness  and 
laughter.  The  young  people  of  the  town 
invariably  gathered  at  their  house.  Bob's 
sister  played  the  piano  and  his  father  led 
them  in  all  the  newest  songs. 

"Not  only  has  my  father  a  splendid 
tenor  voice."  Bob  says,  "but  he  sings  with 
great  emotion.  If  he  had  not  entered  the 
ministry,  undoubtedly  he  would  have  known 
success  in  the  concert  field. 

"As  a  kid  I  used  to  have  to  try  des- 
perately hard  not  to  cry  when  he  sang.  In 
fact  I  believe  it  was  lying  upstairs  in  the 
dark,  listening  to  my  father  sing,  that  I 
first  knew  loneliness.  That  kind  of  lone- 
liness which  wants  understanding  and  is 
not  influenced  by  the  number  of  people 
who  happen  to  be  about." 

Always  it  was  understood  that  Bob 
would  be  a  singer.  He  was  naturally  en- 
dowed for  such  a  career  and  it  was  always 
the  thins  that  interested  him  above  all 
other  things. 

For  years  pennies  were  saved  towards 
his  musical  education.  The  money  he 
earned  clerking  in  a  Missouri  general 
store  during  a  summer  holiday  was  put 
away  for  this  purpose  when  it  might  have 
served  for  a  dozen  immediate  needs.  An- 
other time,  when  the  parsonage  boasted 
acreage,  Bob  was  given  a  plot  that  he 
might  raise  lettuce  and  beans  and  toma- 
toes for  market.  This  money  was  saved, 
too. 

Of  that  day  when  he  would  leave  for 
the  Boston  University  Bob  had  dreamed 
for  years.  He  had  been  sure  it  would  be 
the  happiest  day  of  his  life.  Now,  be- 
cause it  meant  leaving  Alice,  it  was  the 
saddest. 

l_|IS  family  were  understanding.  They 
bade  him  goodbye  at  home  so  that  he 
and  Alice  might  be  at  the  train  alone. 

"It  won't  be  so  bad,"  she  whispered  as 
they  stood  waiting  on  the  platform.  "It 
isn't  as  if  we  weren't  sure  of  our  love!" 

Bob  gripped  her  hand.    Even  harder. 

"I'll  love  getting  letters,"  she  went  on. 

Their  agonized  eyes  met.  "You're  too 
sweet,"  he  told  her.  "I'll  think  about  you 
all  the  time.  Dear,  dear  Alice!" 

"I'll  think  about  you  all  the  time,  too," 
she  promised. 

They  were  so  young.    So  vulnerable. 

In  came  the  train.  "All  Aboard," 
shouted  the  porters.  "Al-l-a-b-o-a-r-d!" 

Bob  jumped  on.  He  didn't  turn  around. 
But  that  was  all  right.  Alice  understood. 
Women  must  not  know  when  men  cry. 

During  Bob's  first  few  days  in  Boston 
his  activities  left  him  little  time  to  think. 
He  had  to  arrange  his  program  at  the 
University.  He  had  to  find  a  room  and 
this  necessitated  considerable  hunting,  for 
he  had  to  have  an  unbelievably  cheap 
room.  After  paying  his  first  quarter's  tui- 
tion he  had  only  $100  to  his  name,  with  no 


idea  whether  or  not  he  would  be  success- 
ful in  getting  work  as  a  tutor. 

When  he  was  finally  settled  that  unut- 
terable loneliness  began  to  set  in.  There 
was  that  night  he  turned  on  his  lamp  and 
opened  his  books  to  study,  only  to  sit  idle 
for  hours.  Thinking  of  Alice.  Remem- 
bering her  voice,  the  sweet  things  she  had 
said,  the1- endearing  things  she  had  done. 

In  his  classes  the  next  day  he  was  in- 
adequate. He  found  it  difficult  to  concen- 
trate upon  what  the  different  professors 
had  to  say  and,  because  he  had  not  studied 
the  evening  before,  concentration  proved 
doubly  necessary. 

Weeks  dragged  along.  Bob  made  only 
poor  progress  scholastically  and  acquired 
no  pupils  for  tutoring. 

He  was  there  to  think  about  music  and 
he  thought  instead  about  Alice  whom  he 
had  left  behind  in  St.  Louis.  His  mind 
should  have  been  filled  with  the  things 
that  were  printed  in  his  books  and  it  was 
filled  instead  with  memories  of  Alice's 
mouth  twisted  with  laughter,  and  the  ex- 
citement which  sprang  from  the  touch  ot 
her  gentle  hands. 

The  most  trifling  phrase  in  one  of  her 
letters  could  disrupt  him  for  days.  Either 
it  tortured  him  with  the  greatness  of  their 
love  or  awakened  him  to  some  silly  lovers' 
fear. 

Even  though  he  kept  every  expense 
down  to  little  more  than  a  dribble  hi; 
hundred  dollars  diminished  alarmingly. 

Bob  was  in  a  bad  spot.  His  love,  he  re- 
alized, threatened  to  defeat  all  the  dream- 
his  mother  and  father  held  for  him.  Tc 
negate  every  sacrifice  they  had  made  for 
him.  To  brand  him  a  weak  failure.  T<" 
cost  him  his  pride  as  a  man.  To  prove 
him  less  than  Alice  believed  him  to  be 


THERE  was  only  one  thing  to  do  and  he 

did  it.  He  set  his  mind  to  rule  his  heart 
Temporarily.  During  the  months  that  he 
remained  there  at  the  University. 

Deliberately,  defensively,  he  intoxicatet 
himself  with  ambitious  dreams.  He  fought 
his  loneliness.  He  no  longer  permittee 
himself  to  sit  remembering  Alice.  He 
wrote  her  once  or  twice  a  week  instead  of 
every  day  and  sometimes  twice  a  day.  In- 
stead of  telling  her  how  lonely  he  wa< 
without  her,  he  wrote  about  his  studies  anc 
the  progress  he  was  determined  to  make 

He  had  work  to  do.  And  he  could  not 
bear  to  do  it  poorly. 

Gradually  the  loneliness  became  les; 
acute.  Slowly  the  longing  became  les; 
feverish. 

At    last    the    summer    holidays  came 

around. 

"I  wondered  how  I  was"  going  to  get 
home,"  Bob  told  me.  "I  had  no  money  foi 
railroad  fare.  So  I  decided  to  hitch  hike 
I'd  heard  you  could"  make  pretty  gooc 
progress  this  way  if  you  kept  shaved  ant 
presentable  looking.  And  it  was  a  case  oi 
hitch  hike  or  starve. 

"I  made  it  in  five  days,  about  the  time 
it  would  have  taken  me  to  drive  if  I'd  hac 
my  own  car.  And  it  wasn't  bad  at  all." 

The  last  dav  en  route  seemed  endless 


RADIO  STARS 


Now  there  was  no  need  for  Bob  to  disci- 
pline his  thoughts  and  emotions.  He 
thought  of  Alice  constantly.  In  a  few 
hours  now  they  would  be  together  again 
with  the  whole  summer  before  them. 

Immediately  when  he  reached  home  he 
telephoned  her.  "I  can't  wait  to  see  you." 
he  told  her,  excitement  running  through 
his  words.  "I'll  be  over  right  after  din- 
ner." Then,  softly  so  the  family  wouldn't 
hear.  "Love  me?" 

"Ever  so  much,"  she  told  him.  "Too 
much  to  wait  until  after  dinner  to  see  you. 
Come  over  now,  please !  I'll  lay  another 
place." 

He  needed  no  urging. 

She  was  waiting  for  him  on  the  porch 
steps.  He  ran  up  the  path  to  her.  He 
took  her  in  his  arms.  His  mouth  sought 
her  mouth.  But  no  mad  pulse  beat  in  his 
throat.  When  she  turned  her  eyes  up  to 
his  eyes  they  weren't  misty  the  way  they 
once  had  been.   They  were  frightened. 

All  the  joy  emptied  from  his  heart. 

They  went  in  to  dinner  and  it  was  her 
mother  and  father  who  did  most  of  the 
talking.  They  asked  him  polite  questions 
about  his  work  and  he  answered  politely. 

"Afterwards,"  he  told  himself,  "when 
Alice  and  I  are  alone,  it  will  be  different. 
Then  we  can  talk  and  it  will  be  the  old 
way  again." 

But  he  knew  that  once  all  the  polite  talk 
in  the  world  couldn't  have  come  between 
them  the  way  it  did  now. 

When  they  were  alone  together  it  was 
no  better.  The  beauty,  the  magic  was 
gone. 

"What  has  happened?"  she  asked  him, 
tears  in  her  eyes.  "Bob.  what's  different 
between  us?    I  don't  understand." 

"What  has  happened?"  he  asked  her, 
loneliness  straining  in  his  voice.  "Alice, 
what's  different  between  us?  I  don't  un- 
derstand."

to  lighten  their  skins — actually  makes  them  look 
shades  lighter  after  a  few  days'  use. 

This  is  not  due  to  any  bleaching  action  on  the 
part  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream.  It  contains  no 
bleaching  agent. 

The  explanation  is  that  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream 
cleanses  the  skin  so  thoroughly  it  does  away  with 
that  grayish  cast  caused  by  embedded  dirt.  It  is  just 
like  half-washing  a  white  handkerchief  and  thor- 
oughly washing  it. 

That  penetrating  dirt  and  greasy  soot  that  works 
its  way  into  your  skin  will  not  only  cause  your  skin 
to  look  much  darker  than  it  really  is,  but  it  will 
cause  a  number  of  other  blemishes. 

It  will  give  root  to  blackheads  and  whiteheads 
and  cause  the  skin  tobecomecoarseandcanvas-like. 

It  Calls  for  a  penetrating 
Face  Cream! 

To  give  your  skin  a  thorough  cleansing,  to  get  at 
the  dirt  that  buries  itself  deep  in  the  pores,  you 
must  use  a  face  cream  that  gets  to  the  bottom  of 
the  pores!  In  other  words,  a  penetrating  face 
cream! 

Lady  Esther  Four-Purpose  Face  Cream  is 
penetrating.  It  is  reaching  and  searching.  It 
does  not  merely  lie  on  the  surface  of  the  skin, 
but  penetrates  the  pores  to  their  depths. 

Almost  instantly,  it  dissolves  the  waxy 
grime  that  lies  buried  in  the  pores  and  floats 
it  to  the  surface  where  it  is  easily  wiped  off. 


DOES  IT  LOOK 
A  DULL  GRAY, 
LIKE  LINEN 
COME  BACK  FROM 
THE  LAUNDRY 
IMPROPERLY 
WASHED 


When  you  cleanse  your  skm  with  Lady  Esther 
Face  Cream  you  immediately  know  it,  for  your 
skin  tingles  as  it  never  did  before. 

It  Benefits  Your  Skin  Four  Ways 

Lady  Esther  Face  Cream  does  four  things  of  defi- 
nite benefit  to  your  skin. 

First,  it  cleanses  the  pores  to  the  very  bottom. 

Second,  it  lubricates  the  skin.  Resupplies  it  with 
a  fine  oil  that  overcomes  dryness  and  keeps  the 
skin  soft  and  flexible. 

Third,  because  it  cleanses  the  pores  thoroughly, 
the  pores  open  and  close  naturally  and  become 
normal  in  size,  invisibly  small. 

Fourth,  it  provides  a  smooth,  non-sticky  base  for 
face  powder. 


Prove  it  at  my  Expense  ! 

I  want  you  to  see  for  yourself  what  Lady  Esther 
Four-Purpose  Face  Cream  will  do  for  your  skin.  So 
I  offer  you  a  7-day  supply  free  of  charge.  Write  to- 
day for  this  7-day  supply  and  put  it  to  the  test  on 
your  skin. 

Note  the  dirt  that  this  cream  gets  out  of  your 
skin  the  very  first  cleansing.  Mark  how  your  skin 
seems  to  get  lighter  in  color  as  you  continue  to 
use  the  cream.  Note  how  clear  and  radiant  your 
skin  becomes  and  how  soft  and  smooth. 

Even  in  three  days'  time  you  will  see  such  a 
difference  in  your  skin  as  to  amaze  you.  But  let 
Lady  Esther  Four-Purpose  Face  Cream  speak  for 
itself.  Mail  a  oostcard  or  the  coupon  below  for  the

THEY  tried  for  a  few  weeks  to  recapture 

their  lost  paradise.  But  he  found  him- 
self able  to  regard  her  casually,  where 
once  the  tilt  of  her  head  had  stirred  him 
mysteriously.  She  found  herself  surprised 
that  it  was  so  late  and  that  he  would  be 
calling  for  her  in  a  half  hour,  where  once 
she  had  started  to  dress  hours  beforehand. 

They  didn't  even  think  the  same  way 
any  more.  During  those  eight  months 
they  both  had  progressed.  But  along  dif- 
ferent ways. 

In  the  intervening  years  Bob  has  come 
even  further  along  that  steep,  bright  road 
which  climbs  to  fame.  He  has  won  schol- 
arships and  lived  and  studied  in  Berlin 
and  Paris.  He  has  come  to  an  enviable 
position  on  the  radio  and  won  recognition 
in  other  musical  fields.  He  has  earned 
money  in  excess  of  his  highest  hopes. 

Still,  talking  of  that  love  that  died,  he 
was  a  little  sad.  Not  as  Pagliacci.  I 
hasten  to  add.  Rather  as  a  young  philos- 
opher. 

"The  saddest  thing  in  the  world,"  he 
said,  "is  to  have  love  die,  to  watch  some- 
thing that  was  important  become  unim- 
portant, to  see  something  that  was  beauti- 
ful turn  commonplace,  to  feel  something 
that  was  exciting  become  casual,  to  see 
something  you  believed  eternal  expire." 

He  gave  me  the  pictures  he  had  been 
shuffling  in  his  hand  as  he  talked.  They 
showed  the  house  he  has  built  in  Corn- 
wall, on  the  side  of  a  hill  which  looks  out 


over  a  clearing  and  the  deep  blue  of  the 
Hudson  to  the  Cat^kills  far  away. 

He  came  upon  this  site  one  Sunday  when 
he  was  riding  witli  a  friend.  Two  weeks 
later  he  had  taken  title  to  the  land  and 
was  bent  over  the  plans  he  had  outlined 
to  his  architect. 

It  isn't  only  a  cabin  where  a  man  can 
rough  it  weekends  and  in  the  summer  with 
his  friends.  It's  more  than  that.  A  small 
house  that  seems  waiting  to  grow  into  a 
big  home.  It's  the  sort  of  place  where 
love  might  strike  down  roots  and  live  for- 
ever and  ever. 

Next  summer  a  garden  will  be  ploughed. 
There  are  a  couple  of  horses  in  the  stable 
and  his  favorite  wire-hair  terrier  sleeps 
curled  up  in  the  big  chair  beside  the  fire. 

"It  looks  to  me,"  I  taxed  Bob,  "as  if  it 
was  planned  to  grow  with  a  family." 

He  smiled.  "It  will,  I  hope.  Soon,  too, 
preferably.  For  at  the  risk  of  sounding 
an  incurable  romanticist,  well  .  .  .  once 
you've  had  love  you  find  life  much  poorer 
without  it."

Cooking  Schoo 

(Continued  front  page  50) 


"Heavens!"  I  objected  in  a  low  voice  to 
Dick,  so  that  I  would  not  be  overheard  by 
others,  "I  never  could  bear  to  eat  a  cun- 
ning little  rabbit !" 

This  time  the  laugh  was  on  me  for  this 
was  no  four-legged  animal  we  were  about 
to  have  but  a  novel  spicy  Mexican  version 
of  the  Welsh  Rabbit  with  which  we  are 
all  so  familiar.  And  right  here  let  me  tell 
you  that  the  correct  word  is  Rabbit,  not 
Rarebit,  though  the  latter  term  does  sound 
more  descriptive. 

"This  Mexican  Rabbit  never  lived,  hop- 
ped or  nibbled,"  explained  Dick,  "any  more 
than  did  its  ancestor  the  Welshman's  Rab- 
bit." 

"Then  why  'Rabbit'?"  I  wanted  to  know. 

"Why  Scotch  Woodcock  ?" 

"You  mean  that  famous  dish  men  like 
so  much,  which  is  made  out  of  cheese,  eggs 
and  anchovies?" 

"Yes !  And  how  about  Golden  Buck  ?" 
went  on  Dick.  "That's  another  typical 
he-man's  food,  a  cheese  and  egg  combina- 
tion that  never  saw  a  forest  either,  despite 
;  its  name." 

"Aren't  you  the  Cheese  Connoisseur  !"  I 
exclaimed. 

"Well  that's  one  type  of  cooking  a  man 
can  talk  about  freely  without  feeling  fool- 
|ish.  You  can't  expect  a  fellow  to  know 
anything  about  making  desserts  and  pas- 
tries unless  he's  a  chef,  you  know.  (Al- 
though I  might  point  out  to  you  that  the 
most  famous  cooks  in  history  have  been 
nen!)  But  let  any  man  loose  in  the 
<itchen  with  a  supply  of  cheese,  mustard, 
i'ggs  and  beer  with  a  few  such  things  as 
hread,  paprika  and  crackers  around  handy 
ind  watch  the  pride  he  will  take  in  turn- 
ng  out  the  best  cheese  dishes  imaginable." 

"Are  you  one  of  these?"  I  insisted  on 
mowing. 

"Well,"  replied  Dick  with  mock  mod- 
sty,  "I  have  only  one  dish  at  which  I 
annot  be  surpassed,  or  I  might  say,  even 
pproached.  That's  Welsh  Rabbit.  The 
'owell  Rabbit  defies  description !" 

"But  not  analvsis,  I  trust,"  I  hastened 
o  add. 

"If  you  mean,  can  I  give  you  exact  pro- 
portions, yes,  I  can.  But  ah,  the  Powell 
kill,  the  art,  the  finesse  .  .  .  However, 
icre  comes  our  Mexican  Rabbit,  all  hot 
nd  steaming,  so  you  can  try  this  one  now 
nd  then  attempt  my  recipe  later  and  judge 
>>r  yourself." 

In  time  I  discovered  they  were  both  so 
erfectly  divine  that  I  wouldn't  honestly 
now  which  to  recommend  most  highly, 
o,  to  be  on  the  safe  side,  I  am  giving 

>u  recipes  for  both  in  this  month's  Cook- 
ig  School  leaflet.    For  luncheon,  Sunday 

ipper  or  late  supper  consumption,  I  know 
;  no  dishes  that  would  be  more  enthusi- 
-tically  received  than  that  Rabbit  from

liich  combines,  with  the  inevitable  cheese, 

her  masculine  food  preferences  such  as 

lions,  crackers,  and  canned  tomato  soup  !

Just  wait  until  you  taste  it — but  I  warn 
you,  don't  wait  too  long !  For,  when  we 
give  out  an  honest-to-goodness  Dick  Pow- 
ell recipe  we  know  in  advance  that  the 
gals  and  their  mothers  will  deluge  us  with 
requests. 

There  are  still  other  Powell  preferences 
for  certain  cheese  dishes  that  also  merit 
mention  and  recipes.  These  include  Lun- 
cheon Eggs,  Cheese  Pancakes,  and  Powell 
Pineapple  Cheese  Pie.  The  Luncheon 
Eggs  are  included  at  the  end  of  this  ar- 
ticle. I  thought  you  would  like  to  have 
this  recipe  immediately  because  by  omit- 
ting the  ham  and  substituting  a  layer  of 
flaked  tuna  fish  it  makes  a  splendid  main 
dish  for  meatless  days  during  Lent. 

The  Cheese  Pancakes  are  both  filling 
and  oh,  so  good!  Since  men  like  both 
pancakes  and  cheese,  don't  you  just  know 
what  the  two  combined  in  one  appetizing 
form  will  do  to  their  dispositions?  You 
don't  knozv?  Well,  all  I  can  say  is  send 
for  the  recipe  and  find  out ! 

And  then,  besides  the  two  Rabbits  and 
the  Pancakes,  you  will  receive  in  this 
month's  leaflet  a  recipe  for  the  most  per- 
fect dessert  I've  ever  tasted— which  is 
styled,  if  you  recall— Powell  Pineapple 
Cheese  Pie ! 

All  you  need  to  do  to  get  your  copy  of 
this  superb  recipe  is  to  fill  out  and  mail 
the  coupon.  That's  all  you  ever  have  to 
do  to  get  these  home-kitchen-tested  recipes 
monthly.  No  fuss,  no  bother,  no  expense. 
Isn't  that  marvelous? 

I'm  particularly  pleased  this  month  to 
be  able  to  offer  you  this  free  recipe  ser- 
vice because  I  feel  that  most  women  cook 
with  the  food  preferences  of  their  men- 
folk in  mind.  And  nothing  could  be  more 
to  the  masculine  liking  than  these  Dick 
Powell  Cheese  Dishes ! 

I  sincerely  hope  that  these  recipes  will 
make  you  realize  another  important  point 
about  cheese.  That  is,  that  cheese  no 
longer  is  considered  merely  as  a  condi- 
ment or  accessory  but  proudly  takes  its 
rightful  place  as  a  staple  source  of  food 
values. 


Cheese,  you  know,  is  rich  in  fat,  pro- 
teins and  carbohydrates.  It  has  almosf 
twice  as  much  protein,  weight  for  weight 
as  beef.  In  fuel  value  it  is  twice  as  great. 
Cheese  supplies  calories  in  one  of  the  must 
concentrated  forms  known  and  is,  there- 
fore, one  of  the  very  best  and  least  ex- 
pensive energy  producing  foods.  Prop- 
erly combined  in  a  meal  with  starchy  foods 
and  green  vegetables,  cheese  makes  a  wel- 
come and  excellent  substitute  for  meat. 
Those  of  you  who  want  to  omit  meat  one 
day  a  week  (whether  for  religious  or 
economical  reasons)  would  do  well  to 
serve  a  main  dish  consisting  for  the  most 
part  of  cheese  or  cheese  in  combination 
with  eggs.  Continue,  of  course,  to  use 
cheese  in  small  quantities  for  savory  flavor, 
but  serve  it  also  in  larger  quantities  for 
nutritive  value  as  well. 

I  wish  I  had  time  here  to  go  into  the 
fascinating  story  of  cheese.  With  the  pos- 
sible exception  of  butter  there  is  no  other 
food  product  whose  history  goes  further 
back  into  antiquity,  or  one  that  is  more 
filled  with  interesting  sidelights.  Although 
its  origin  is  lost  in  the  mists  of  time  it  is 
said  that  cheese  first  came  from  Arabia, 
having  been  known  there  several  thousand 
years  before  the  birth  of  Christ.  Its  use 
spread  from  there  all  over  Europe  and 
Asia.  In  most  instances  a  new  cheese  was 
named  for  the  place  where  it  originated. 
(Literature  on  cheese  contains  the  names 
of  over  five  hundred  varieties!) 

The  art  of  cheese  making  was  brought 
to  this  country  by  the  very  earliest  settlers 
who  continued  to  make,  in  their  new  sur- 
roundings, the  type  of  cheese  they  were 
used  to  making  in  the  old  country.  Now- 
adays, however,  huge  factories  make  prac- 
tically all  the  cheese  we  eat.  And  such  a 
uniformity  of  excellence  and  variety  of 
types  as  there  is!  You,  Mrs.  Housewife, 
can  find  on  your  grocer's  shelves  the  most 
appetizing  and  enticing  array  for  every 
purpose  and  occasion.  Whether  you  wish 
to  serve  cheese  in  grated  form  in  soups 
or  on  spaghetti  or  salad ;  whether  you 
wish  to  use  it  to  give  flavor  to  an  gratin

Genevieve  Paddleford, 
"Queen  of  Crooks,"  was 
all  of  this  and  more.  She 
was  the  international  ad- 
venturess, cruel,  cold- 
blooded but  invariably 
charming,  who  left  a  path 
of  broken  hearts  and  de- 
flated bank  accounts  over 
this  country  and  Europe 
during  the  past  guarter- 
century.  She  had  five  hus- 
bands .  .  .  three  of  them 
millionaires  .  .  .  and  if 
they  escaped  going  to  the 
poor  house,  it  was  through 
no  fault  of  Genevieve's. 
When  she  could  no  longer 
find  a  lawful  mate  to  sup- 
port her  in  the  lavish  style 
to  which  she  was  accus- 
tomed, she  forced  her  in- 
nocent adopted  daughter 
to  work  with  her  in  ne- 
farious blackmail  plots. 
No  swindle  was  too  brazen 
for  this  amazing  woman; 
no  man  was  too  influen- 
tial or  too  respectable  for 
her  to  tackle.  But  she 
couldn't  continue  forever 
in  her  giddy  course.  Ulti- 
mately she  met  defeat.

She  Crashed  the  Royal  Family 

(Continued  from  page  39) 


members  of  the  Lillie  Trio — Mother  and 
Sister  Muriel.  They  were  gifted.  They 
were  lovely  to  look  upon.  They  could 
play  and  sing  charmingly.  But  the  young 
Beatrice,  with  her  awkward  buns  of  hair, 
her  long,  thin  face  and  upturned  nose,  her 
quavering  soprano  voice  shrill  with 
anxiety,  won  only  pained  endurance  or 
impatient  inattention.  She  was  a  failure. 
Bea  Lillie  thought.  She  suffered  unguessed 
agonies  as  she  felt  the  admiration  of  the 
audiences  flowing  out  to  the  others.  She 
felt  that  she  was  disgracing  the  family. 
She  ought  to  leave  the  Trio. 

The  Lillies  were  a  middle-class  Cana- 
dian family,  whose  livelihood  depended 
upon  the  earnings  of  the  Trio.  Mother 
had  done  her  best  to  make  her  two  girls 
competent  musicians  like  herself.  She 
was  determined  that  Beatrice  should  be- 
come a  talented  classical  singer.  When 
Bea  was  fifteen,  the  Lillie  Trio  went  to 
Germany  to  fill  some  concert  engagements. 
Then  the  war  came,  and  conditions  were 
critical.  And,  resolved  to  stand  upon  her 
own  feet,  Beatrice  went  to  London  to  get 
herself  a  job.  It  seemed  an  impossible 
undertaking.  She  had  no  personal  success 
to  recommend  her.  No  friends  to  sponsor 
her.  She  had  neither  talent  nor  beauty — 
so  she  thought — and,  in  her  own  mind,  she 
was  a  failure. 

But  she  had  courage !  She  would  succeed 
— somehow !  And  even  the  painful  round 
of  booking  offices,  with  their  unanimous 
indifference  to  her,  failed  to  dishearten  her. 

^"HARLOT,  England's  greatest  of  revue 
producers,  was  looking  for  a  girl 
singer.  And  with  dozens  of  other  girls 
Beatrice  Lillie  waited  in  his  outer  office 
for  a  chance  to  try  out  for  the  role.  And 
as  she  looked  at  the  other  waiting  girls, 
with  their  blonde  beauty,  their  ingenue 
grace,  she  felt  that  her  chances  were  slim 
indeed. 

Mentally,  Bea  Lillie  looked  at  herself — 
and  laughed!  And  then  a  desperate  idea 
flashed  into  her  mind.  The  song  she  had 
to  sing  was  serious  and  sad — about  the 
trials  and  tribulations  which  beset  a  girl 
alone  in  the  world.  Well — she  would  try 
out  her  idea.  And  once  more  she  laughed 
at  herself.  After  all,  she  had  nothing  to 
lose ! 

When  her  name  was  called,  she  began 
to  sing,  subtly  burlesquing  the  song.  An 
awkward  gesture.  A  twitch  of  an  eyebrow-. 
An  occasional  off-pitch  note.  A  helpless 
grimace.  And,  at  the  end,  a  comic  collapse 
on  her  travelling  bag ! 

Chariot,  listening,  watching,  was  struck 
with  the  delicious  satire.  She  was,  he 
perceived,  a  born  mimic,  a  congenital 
comedienne !  Her  performance  was  the 
very  cream  of  satire.  And  he  engaged 
Beatrice  Lillie  on  the  spot.  Not  as  a 
singer.    As  a  comedienne. 

With  the  confidence  inspired  by  this 
success,  she  grew,  almost  over  night,  into 
the  glamorous  star  of  Chariot's  revue. 
People  came  again  and  again  to  see 
Beatrice  Lillie.  Eager  young  girls.  Tired 
old  men.  Peers.  Potentates.    And  princes! 


The  Prince  of  Wales  left  the  royal  box 
at  the  theatre  to  go  backstage  to  meet  her. 

invited  her  to  join  his  party  for 
supper  at  the  Grafton  Galleries.  And 
from  that  night  she  became  a  member  of 
that  envied  small  circle  whose  center  is 
England's  royal  heir.  The  delightfully 
funny,  charmingly  modest  young  Canadian 
girl  \v;is  accepted  without  hesitation  by 
the  cream  of  English  society.  She  was 
invited  everywhere  by  the  smartest  of 
Mayfair  hostesses.  And  not  merely  as  an  1 
amusing  clown.  Not  merely  as  a  novelty, 
as  many  another  actress  has  been  briefly 
taken  up.  She  became  one  of  them.  She 
belonged  ! 

TO  Beatrice  Lillie.  after  the  dark  despair 
of  her  years  of  discouraging  struggle, 
shadowed  by  the  conviction  of  inferiority, 
this  success  was  a  revelation.  She  was  ; 
Cinderella  come  to  the  ball!  She  was  the 
poor  little  girl  who  had  found  a  rich  and 
powerful  fairy-godmother. 

And  the  name  of  the  fairy  was  Laughter! 

Still  another  notable  triumph  was  hers 
.  .  .  Among  the  guests  at  the  Mayfair 
parties  was  a  tall,  handsome  young  man,  , 
very  much  sought  after,  very  much 
lionized.  He  was  Sir  Robert  Peel, 
possessor  of  one  of  the  oldest  titles  in  i 
England,  grandson  of  a  Prime  Minister,  ! 
and  one  of  the  richest  noblemen  of  the 
realm.  Beatrice  Lillie  was  attracted  by 
his  good  looks.  By  his  modest  charm. 
She  enjoyed  his  friendship,  with  no 
thought  of  romance.  For  Sir  Robert  Peel 
was  the  greatest  matrimonial  prize  of  the 
day,  and  dozens  of  doughty  dowagers  were 
scheming  to  capture  him  for  their  blue- 
blooded  daughters. 

But  to  the  young  nobleman  Bea  Lillie. 
with  her  sincerity,  her  unaffected  gaiety, 
her  spontaneous  laughter,  in  which  there 
was  no  hidden  knife,  was  the  most  desir-  j 
able  of  all  lovely  women.  He  fell  in 
love  with  her.     Deeply.  Desperately. 

And  again  Bea  laughed  at  herself.  It 
couldn't  be  true!  But  this  time  her  laugh- 
ter trembled  close  to  tears.  For  her  heart 
told  her  it  was  true.    She  loved  him ! 

Xightly  he  visited  the  theatre  where  she 
played.  Xightly  he  escorted  her  to 
exclusive  after-theatre  dinners  and  parties. 
And  one  day,  in  1920,  they  were  married. 

They  went  on  a  long,  romantic  honey-  i 
moon  trip.  To  Monte  Carlo.  To  America. 
And  when  they  returned  from  that  idyllic 
tour,  the  little  Canadian  Cinderella  took 
up  her  position  as  Lady  Peel — mistress  of 
a  vast  estate  in  Staffordshire,  and  a  social 
power  in  two  continents. 

Dreams  do  come  true,  sometimes. 
Though  no  dream  could  be  quite  as  glow- 
ing as  this  rich  reality.  No  fairy  story 
could  quite  equal  this  thrilling  truth.  And 
all  because  a  poor  little  failure  dared  to 
laugh  at  herself! 

As  Lady  Peel,  Beatrice  Lillie  did  not 
change  in  any  way  but  one.  As  if  a  fairy 
wand  truly  had  touched  her,  she  became 
beautiful !  Perhaps  it  was  happiness.  Plus 
success.  It's  a  good  beauty  treatment! 
Anyway,  she  cut  off  the  ugly  buns.  And

The  unique  teature  of  LTnguentine  is  little

it  brings  in  moments  of  agonizing  pain. 

Unguentine  is  powerfully  antiseptic 
and  germictdal.Thus,  it  not  only 
stops  the  searing,  stabbing 
pain  of  a  burn  or  wound, 
but  destroys  any  germs 
that  may  be  present  and 
prevents  new  germs  fron 
getting  in. 

But  more:  Unguentine  is  sooihing,  non- 
irritating.  It  promotes  healing.  Under  its 
protection,  the  hurt  area  heals  rapidly,  natu-

vitations  to  exclusive  parties  flooding*  her 
mails,  she  adores  to  frequent  a  Sixth 
Avenue  shooting  gallery.  Hers  the  im- 
pressive title  of  Lady  Peel — and  she 
prefers  to  he  known  as  Beatrice  Lillie. 

In  a  Chicago  heauty  parlor,  one  day. 
the  wife  of  a  newly  rich  meat-packer  was 
annoyed  to  find  her  special  hairdresser 
engaged. 

"I  am  Mrs.  So-and-So,"  she  announced 
in  a  lout!,  angry  voice.  "Tell  my  hair- 
dresser to  come  to  me  at  once !" 

The  slim  young  woman  in  the  hair- 
dresser's chair  overheard. 

"Tell  the  butcher's  wife,"  a  clear,  cold 
voice  said  haughtily,  "that  she  may  now 
have  Lady  Peel's  hair-dresser." 

That  is  the  only  time  she  had  been 
known  to  use  her  title  for  effect.  Snobs 
and  bores  are  anathema  to  Beatrice  Lillie. 

She  has  just  signed  a  contract  to  appear 
every  Friday  on  the  network,  for  a  milk 
company.  And  now  radio  fans  will  be 
the  newest  judges  of  her  art. 


And  when  you  listen  in,  you  will  see, 
as  if  she  were  standing  before  you,  this 
slim,  gracious  young  woman,  who,  out  o' 
defeat,  has  shaped  a  dazzling  victory.  T[ 
will   see  the  plain,  awkward,  frighten 
girl  from  Toronto,  whose  off-pitch  no' 
and  absurd  grimaces  have  lifted  her  fr

Radio.  It's  TNT 


(Continued  from  page  17) 


for  a  divorce  from  her  husband  William 
Hahn,  a  chauffeur.  She  related  that  a 
month  after  their  marriage  in  August  1931, 
her  husband  struck  her  because  she  laughed 
at  a  radio  skit  which  he  did  not  enjoy. 
Whenever  she  had  some  free  time,  she 
would  tune  in  on  the  better  comedians  and 
her  husband  would  remonstrate  with  her, 
she  declared.  The  judge  granted  her  a 
decree. 

Before  you  get  married,  sister,  you'd 
better  make  sure  that  your  beau's  going 
to  like  radio  as  well  as  you  do! 

Anna  Lustig  was  crazy  about  radio.  Her 
husband,  Michael,  couldn't  see  it  at  all. 
To  him  radio  programs  were  just  a  pain 
in  the  neck.  He  objected  to  her  listening 
in  on  them  at  all.  So  she  had  to  listen 
when  he  was  out.  One  evening  he  came 
in  unexpectedly  when  she  was  listening  to 
a  favorite  program. 

Her  husband  walked  straight  to  the 
radio,  tore  it  loose  from  its  moorings,  and 
hurled  it  at  her.  Result — Annie  doesn't 
live  there  any  more ! 

Have  you  ever  felt  like  raising  Cain 
because  your  neighbor  played  his  radio  too 
loudly  ? 

Then  you'll  sympathize  with  Carl  Negley 
of  Brackenridge,  Pennsylvania.  Carl  tired 
of  listening  to  the  radio  of  the  John 
Grundys,  who  lived  in  the  apartment  above 
him.  In  vain  he  begged  them  to  tune  it 
down.  One  day  he  could  stand  it  no 
longer.  He  hunted  up  his  old  Army  rifle 
and  fired  it  through  the  ceiling.  He  missed 
the  set  by  a  foot. 

Judge  Sylvester  J.  Snee  of  the  Al- 
leghany County  Criminal  Court  gave  him 
one  month  to  a  year  in  jail. 

Negley  said:  "I  don't  care  if  I  get  ten 
years,  I  can't  stand  that  radio  any  longer!" 

After  Negley  had  served  a  day  the  judge 
paroled  him,  but  told  him :  "Don't  ever 
do  that  again !" 

Maybe  you  don't  know  that  sometimes 
you  can  be  arrested  for  playing  your 
radio  too  loudly.  Harry  Harris  of  Carnegie, 
Pennsylvania,  had  Ben  Burak,  a  neighbor, 


arrested  for  that  offense.    Burak  slapp 
a  suit  for  false  arrest  against  Harris 
the  chief  of  police  of  Carnegie.    It's  si 
on  the  docket,  as  this  is  written. 

It  doesn't  seem  to  matter  what  circle 
society   you're   in.     Whether   you're  t 
plumber's  daughter  or  a  society  debutan 
the  chances  are  that  if  your  sleep  is  d: 
turbed  by  a  neighbor  who  plays  his  ra 
at  all  hours  of  the  night,  there  will  be 
dickens  to  pay. 

Just  listen  to  this : 

The  Honorary  Francis  H.  Shoemaker 
Red  Wing,  Minnesota,  the  only  ex-convi 
in  Congress,  landed  a  haymaker  on  Th 
dore  H.  Cohen,  a  neighbor,  for  play 
his  radio  late  at  night,  thereby  keepi 
the  lawmaker  from  getting  the  amo" 
of  rest  necessary  to  keep  in  the  pink 
lawmaking  condition.  Representative  Sh 
maker  had  stood  it  for  three  nights, 
later  declared ;  then  he  grabbed  a  pho 
and  yelled  down  to  Cohen,  who  was  on 
floor  below :  "Hey,  if  you  can't  cut  t" 
noise  out,  I'll  be  right  down  and  brea 
your  neck!" 

Jazz  music  from  the  radio  continue 
supplemented  by  plenty  of  raucous  singin 

Presently  Statesman  Shoemaker  a 
peared,  gave  songster  Cohen  a  mighty  soc 
on  the  right  eye,  and  went  on  his  wa 
sputtering :  "I'm  the  only  ex-convict  i 
Congress  and  I'm  a  tough  baby !" 

Cohen  went  to  the  Washington  poli 
seeking  the  arrest  of  Shoemaker, 
pointed  to  four  stitches  over  one  eye,  t' 
shiner,  and  a  fifteen-hundred- word  bri 
telling  all  about  the  encounter. 

Lawmaker  Shoemaker  stood  on  his  Co 
gressional  immunity  and  failed  to  appe 
when  the  case  came  up  for  trial  in  poli 
court. 

Why  is  Shoemaker  an  ex-convict? 
served  nine  months  in  Leavenworth  f 
sending  defamatory  matter  through  t 
mails  before  he  became  a  Congressina 
His  favorite  quip :  "A  lot  of  you  fellows 
from  Congress  to  penitentiary;  I'm  tl 
only  guy  that  came  from  pen  to  Congre

\nd  then  take  the  case  of  Ada  Paggi, 
rzzo-soprano  with  the  Ravinia  Opera 
uipany  and  the  Chicago  Civic  Opera 
i  npany. 

\bout  the  hour  the  sun  came  up  out  of 
I<e  Michigan  each  morning  jazz  band 
sections  poured  into  the  singer's  bed- 
i>m  window  from  a  radio  next  door.  A 
;  s.  Walter  Schultz  occupied  the  house. 
.  d  she  had  a  son  who  couldn't  sing  in 
t  bathtub.  So  he  substituted  with  a 
<lio  program  that  featured  red  hot  re- 
t  dings. 

\da  Paggi  resented  that — resented  it 
.  much  that  one  beautiful  morning  she 
jictured  a  staccato  number  with  a  wcll- 
iied  flower  pot.  The  missile  shattered  a 
lidow  sash  and  landed  on  the  living- 
,j>m  floor  of  the  family  next  door. 
If  I  am  so  exasperated!"  exclaimed  the 
Die  Italian  singer.  "I  have  asked  them 
;il  asked  them  to  let  me  sleep  mornings. 
I  late  I  sing  at  Ravinia,  it  is  midnight 
:jen  I  get  home,  then  for  two  hours  I 
dmot  sleep  because  my  mind  is  so  active. 
I  eight  o'clock  I  must  get  up  and  at  ten 
Jmust  rehearse  at  Ravinia  and  I  need 
\i  sleep." 

A'eighbor  Mrs.  Walter  Schultz  informed 
t  police  that  she  would  sign  a  complaint 
aiinst  Mme.  Paggi,  but  she  changed  her 
I  id  about  it.  The  flower  pot  that  had 
Kmi  heaved  at  her  home  was  a  beauty. 
id  she  felt  that  after  all  it  paid  for  the 
bken  window.    It  fitted  in  perfectly  with 

I  decorative  scheme  of  her  living-room ! 
Sometimes  rows  over  radio  result  more 

castrously. 

Several  months  ago  in  Chicago  a  man 
Is  killed  in  a  gun  battle.  Questioning  by 
t  police  revealed  that  the  slain  man,  one 
iic  Castle,  and  Jonas  King,  brother  of 
J ite  Representative  William  E.  King,  had 

I I  a  radio  argument  which  culminated 
i  a  pistol  duel  with  fatal  results. 

Reporters  scented  something  new  in 
|lio  quarrels.  Husband-and-wife  war- 
le  over  favorite  programs  they  had  en- 
cmtered  before.  But  here  were  a  couple 
tgents  who  had  drawn  guns! 

Had  the  late  Mr.  Castle  been  a  Joe 
Inner  advocate,  and  you  perhaps  a  Cantor 
f  ?"  King  was  asked. 

\'o,  King  replied.  The  two  had  had  no 
^.rds  about  favorites — they  were  fighting 
•it  the  ownership  of  the  radio.  And  they 
M  picked  a  woman's  apartment  to  settle 
tags  in.  The  coroner's  jury  returned 
verdict  of  justifiable  homicide!  King 
y  not  held. 

Now  look  at  this  dispatch  from  Oil  City, 
innsylvania.  It's  dated  February  22nd. 
B4.   The  headline :  "Silences  Radio  And

Plenty  of  us  have  felt  like  committing 
murder  after  hearing  some  shrill-voiced 
soprano  or  some  screechy  tenor  render 
for  the  millionth  time  Stormy  Weather  or 
Smoke  Gets  In  Your  Eyes.  Usually, 
though,  we  don't  do  anything  ahout  it. 

Clarence  Walter  of  Los  Angeles  did. 
While  one  hundred  and  fifty  women  in 
an  auditorium  across  the  hall  were  listen- 
ing to  a  cooking  lesson,  he  killed  one  man 
and  wounded  another  with  a  jack-knife 
in  a  broadcasting  studio  of  station  KHJ. 

When  asked  why  he  did  it,  he  said  he 
had  been  listening  to  the  radio  in  his  home 
at  Santa  Ana  all  day  long.  When  he  heard 
them  play,  There's  a  Ring  Around  the 
Moon,  the  call  came  to  him.  He  went 
down  to  the  radio  station  and  tried  to  kill 
two  men  to  show  them  that  they  couldn't 


get  away  with  playing  songs  like  that. 
Have  you  ever  felt  that  way  about  a  song, 
too? 

If  you  have  a  radio,  you  may  be  nourish- 
ing a  viper  in  your  bosom !  Some  day  it 
may  tufn  on  you. 

A  negro  walked  into  a  shop  in  Charlotte, 
North  Carolina  and  wanted  to  sell  a  short- 
wave radio  set.  He  put  the  set  down 
and  started  to  tune  it  up  to  give  the  radio 
dealer  an  idea  of  its  splended  reception. 
And  did  he  get  splendid  reception !  Right 
over  the  radio  was  broadcast  a  police 
description  of  the  set,  which  had  been 
stolen  only  a  short  time  before.  The  negro 
caught  his  breath,  dashed  out  to  the  street, 
and  hasn't  been  heard  from  since.  He'd 
never  dreamed  that  the  stolen  radio  would 
turn  on  him. 


Here  is  another  true  story:    If  yoir 
ever  listened  in  on  a  mystery  progra 
you   know   how   blood-curdling  some 
them  can  be.    There  have  been  movemei 
to  eliminate  them  from  the  air  altogeth 

Look  at  this  headline :  "Killed  by  Rat 
Seream."   And    this    story:    It  hap 
in  Lynn,  Massachusetts. 

"A  woman's  scream,  broadcast  two  we< 
ago,  in  the  course  of  a  radio  mystery  ph 
was  so  realistic  that  Mrs.  Cecile  II.  Da 
suffered  a  paralytic  stroke.  She 
yesterday." 

Radio,   the  great  peace  maker! 
hope  of  the  world !    The  thing  that's  go 
to  knit  families  closer  together,  and 
gadabout  Amy  stay  at  home.  .  .  . 

It's  all  boloney,  sister.    And  that 
no  matter  how  thin  you  slice  it. 


Keep  Young  and  Beautifu 


sisters,    and    I    hope    it    does    for  you. 

We  talked  of  eye  make-up  as  an  aid  to 
taking  a  good  picture.  ...  I  have  a  hobby 
of  stopping  to  window-shop  every  time  I 
pass  a  photographer's  studio.  It  is  fas- 
cinating to  study  the  faces,  and  to  try  to 
analyze  them ;  to  decide,  for  example,  that 
if  this  girl  had  used  eyeshadow  to  make 
her  eyes  look  wider  and  more  luminous,  or 
if  that  one  had  outlined  her  lips  a  little 
more  definitely,  and  had  combed  out  her 
wave  so  that  those  too,  too  beautiful  curls 
didn't  look  so  terribly  set,  she  would  have 
been  a  much  better  photographic  subject. 

I'm  going  to  give  you  a  few  hints  for 
the  next  occasion  when  you  visit  a  photog- 
rapher. The  face  should  be  powdered 
lightly  and  rouge  left  off  the  checks.  In 
order  to  make  a  better  "eye  frame," 
lengthen  the  outer  ends  of  your  eyebrows 
very  slightly  with  an  eyebrow  pencil.  If 
you  draw  a  faint  line  with  your  eyebrow 
pencil  along  your  upper  lid,  close  to  the 
lashes,  from  the  inner  corner  of  your  eye 
to  the  outer,  your  eyelashes  will  look  much 
heavier  and  darker.  The  outline  of  your 
mouth  should  be  perfect,  Rosemary  and 
Priscilla  agree,  both  for  general  and 
photographic  make-up.  Since  the  outline 
of  the  lips  is  so  important,  one  way  of 
making  it  look  more  definite  is  to  powder 
heavily  around  your  mouth  after  using 
lipstick.  Smooth  off  the  surplus  powder, 
but  leave  the  faintest  suggestion  of 
powdered  line,  around  the  edge  of  the 
lower  lip. 

A  PHOTOGRAPH  file  of  old  and  new 
pictures  of  Rosemary  and  Priscilla 
proved  amusing.  There  were  several  very 
girlish  ones  of  Priscilla  when  she  wore  her 
haix  in  a  short  bob  and  parted  on  the  side. 
Now  with  her  hair  in  an  off-the-face 
arrangement  that  shows  her  high  fore- 
head and  attractive  hair-line  she  looks 
more  sophisticated,  and  represents  a  more 
definite  type  of  personality. 

If  you  have  a  good  forehead  and  hair- 
line, perhaps  you  will  discover  new  and 
interesting  possibilities  in  yourself  by 
experimenting  with  an  off-the-face  coiffure. 
There  are  so  many  clever  innovations  in 
that  type  of  hairdress  this  season — swirls 
and  curls  in  innumerable  variations.  How- 
P6 


(Continued  from  page  10) 

ever,  we're  going  to  talk  more  about 
coiffures  next  month,  when  Easter  will  be 
coming  around  to  make  us  more  top-knot 
conscious,  and  the  new  bonnets  will  be 
budding  forth  in  all  their  spring  glory. 

I  hope  fervently  that  there  won't  be  many 
new  bleached  blondes  this  season.  So  many 
of  you  write  me  about  having  your  hair 
bleached  or  dyed.  You  forget  that  it  isn't 
possible  to  make  blonde  hair  go  with  a 
typically  brunette  -skin.  You  must  have 
a  certain  type  of  skin  in  order  to  be  a 
successful  blonde ;  either  your  skin  must 
be  very  fair  and  fine,  or  it  must  be  light 
golden  in  tone. 

Priscilla  Lane  is  a  natural  ash  blonde, 
and  incidentally,  her  only  recipe  for  keep- 
ing her  hair  its  natural  shade  is  frequent 
shampooing.  She  and  Rosemary  have  fair 
complexions,  but  there  is  a  vital  difference 
in  that  fairness.  Rosemary  has  the  warm 
vibrant  rose  undertones  in  her  skin  that 
compliment  her  lovely  dark  hair ;  Priscilla 
has  the  blonde  type  of  skin  with  a  creamy 
pallor  and  faint  gold  undertones.  If  they 
were  to  change  the  shade  of  their  hair, 
their  colorings  would  be  entirely  out  of 
harmony. 

Both  Rosemary  and  Priscilla  have  a 
tendency  to  dry  skin,  so  they  use  regular 
cleansing  and  skin-softening  routines. 
Priscilla  uses  cleansing  cream  and  soap; 
Rosemary  only  the  cleansing  cream.  But 
Rosemary  has  an  unusual  type  of  trans- 
parent skin.  Both  girls  use  plenty  of  rich 
nourishing  cream  at  night  to  counteract 
the  tendency  to  dryness,  and  to  practice 
the  ''ounce  of  prevention  is  worth  a  pound 
of  cure''  adage  where  wrinkles  are  con- 
cerned. 

THERE'S  a  popular  fallacy  that  soap  is 
drying  to  the  skin.  It  is  the  use  of 
soap  alone,  without  creams,  that  is  drying. 
A  soap  may  make  your  face  feel  dry  for 
the  moment.  Naturally  when  soap  removes 
the  oily  grime  of  the  day  from  your  skin, 
it  is  impossible  for  it  to  put  back  the  oils. 
It  is  up  to  your  creams  to  do  that,  and 
there  are  some  efficient  and  capable  ones 
on  the  market.  Soap  and  cream  are  sisters 
in  the  business  of  satisfactory  skin  care. 

Both  the  Lane  sisters  are  fond  of  sports, 
and  they  have  studied  dancing  and  done 


a  little  professional  work  on  the  stag  < 
They  both  have  very  slim  figures,  and  le 
that  Hollywood  might  well  eye  with  plea 
ure.     Rosemary   loves   horseback  rid 
and  Priscilla  is  a  devotee  of  swimr 
They  are  alike  in  their  aversion  to  swe 
and  heavy  pastries.    Their  slender  fig 
and  clear  complexions  testify  to  that. 

Rosemary     has     found  deep-breath 
exercises  helpful,  not  only  from  a  he 
standpoint,  but  because  they  improve  til 
quality  of  her  voice.    Her  singing  teach 
taught  her  the  breathing  exercise  whii 
has  helped  her  most.    It's  a  good  one 
practice!    Inhale  deeply,  so  that  you  ct\ 
feel  your  breath  ascend  up  through  yo, 
diaphragm.    Now  hold  that  breath 
sing  "Ah,"  holding  the  note  as  long 
you  can.    Time  yourself,  and  each 
you'll  find  your  time  record  increased 
you   have   developed   a   grand  breath 
capacity.      Practice    the    exercise  eve 
morning  for  five  or  ten  minutes.

Radio's  Stepchild 


(Continued  from  page  42) 

Annette  Hanshaw?  This  tiny  blues  singer 
who  was  a  nobody  when  she  joined 
Show  Boat  is  now  starring  on  the  Camel 
Caravan  at  a  weekly  pay  check  about  five 
times  her  old  salary,  and  she  can  go  into 
vaudeville  and  movies  anytime  she  pleases. 
Muriel  Wilson,  the  singing  Mary  Lou, 
las  walked  out  of  and  into  the  Show  Boat 
:ast  again  at  a  salary  twice  her  original 
me,  she  is  one  of  the  most  sought-after 
-opranos  in  radio  and  she  has  her  pick 
>f  vaudeville  and  theatrical  offers. 

Now  we  come  to  Rosaline  Greene,  who's 
>een  on  that  program  from  its  very  incep- 
ion,  longer  than  any  of  the  others,  who's 
lever  walked  out  on  Show  Boat,  who's 
lever  missed  a  single  performance,  whose 
me  acting  has  made  "Mary  Lou"  the 
nost  beloved  heroine  in  radio.  What's  hap- 
iened  to  her?  Well,  in  the  mad  scramble 
o  push  the  other  on  the  glory  road,  Rosa- 
nne  has  been  forgotten.  She  has  no  fa- 
nous  name  with  which  to  lure  customers  to 
he  box-office,  no  offers  from  Broadway 
>r  Hollywood.  Her  name  has  never  once 
ieen  mentioned  in  the  two  thousand  times 
[•he  has  appeared  on  the  air,  no  lucrative 
ersi  mal  appearances  and  no  adulation, 
to  fan  mail,  no  publicity,  none  of  the  thrills 
nd  acclaim  that  go  with  being  a  star.  The 
rilliant  Show  Boat  spotlight  which 
oomed  the  other  four  to  stardom  missed 
iosaline  and  shunted  her  in  the  back- 
round.  No  wonder  she's  called  radio's 
tepchild. 

Please  understand  me,  it  isn't  that  the 
irectors  of  Show  Boat  are  trying  to  keep 
iosaline  down. 

Nothing  of  the  kind.  It  just  happened, 
lat's  all. 

Through  a  humiliating  experience  Rosa- 
ne  first  learned  that  she  was  the  stepchild 
f  radio. 

A  picture  of  the  entire  Show  Boat  cast 
■as  to  be  taken.  Rosaline,  dressed  up  in 
er  prettiest  and  beaming  happily,  took  her 
ilace  with  the  rest  of  the  principals.  Just 
s  the  cameraman  was  about  to  click,  some 
larp-eyed  studio  man  discovered  her  and 
ncercmoniously  yanked  her  away  from 
Lie  group.  Everyone  else  stared  at  her, 
iwildered.  while  Rosaline  felt  like  a 
aughty  child  who's  been  told  to  stay  in 
ie  corner  before  an  entire  classroom. 

"What's  the  matter,"  she  asked,  burning 

ith  shame  and  rage. 

Then   she  learned.   The   pictures  were 
leant    for   nation-wide   distribution  and 
L-ery  character  would  have  to  be  identi- 
jed.  How  were  they  going  to  explain  tivo 
llary  Lou's?    Of   course,   the  reasoning 
[as  logical.  Show  Boat  based  its  popular 
iipeal  on  the  sweetheart  team  of  Lanny 
id  Mary  Lou,  and  they  had  to  preserve 
at  illusion  of  a  real  Mary  Lou.  Rosaline, 
i  a  sensible  young  girl,  understood,  but 
vertheless  it  wasn't  so  easy  to  look  at 
at  picture  later,  plastered  on  subway  and 
r  card  ads,  on  billboards   and   in  na- 
pnally  circulated  magazines,  showing  the 
embers  of  the  cast  assembled  in  all  their 
ory — and  find  yourself  left  out  of  it  al- 
gether. 

It's  particularly  ironical  when  you  con-

The  Wrong  Shade  of  Face  Powder 
Will  Give  Your  Age  Away  Every  Time! 


A  woman's  age  is  a  woman's  secret.  Even  the 
election  laws  acknowledge  this  when  they  re- 
quire only  that  a  woman  state  that  she  is  over  21. 

Every  woman  is  entitled  to  look  young — as 
young,  frankly,  as  she  can  make  herself  look. 
That  is  a  woman's  prerogative  and  no  one  can 
deny  it  her. 

But  many  a  woman  betrays  her  age  in  the 
very  shade  of  face  powder  she  uses.  The  wrong 
shade  of  face  powder  makes  her  look  her  age. 
It  "dates"  her  skin — stamps  on  it  her  birthdate. 
She  may  feel  21,  act  21,  dress  21,  but  she 
doesn't  fool  the  world  a  bit.  To  calculating  eyes 
she  is  31  and  no  foolin'. 

Why  Advertise  Your  Age? 

Color  creates  the  effect  of  either  age  or  youth. 
Any  artist,  any  make-up  expert,  will  tell  you 
this.  Even  a  slight  difference  in  shade  wiil  nuke 
a  big  difference  in  years  so  far  as  appearance 
is  concerned. 

The  wrong  shade  of  face  powder  will  not 
only  make  you  look  your  age,  but  crueller 
still,  years  older  than  you  really  are!  .... 

If  you  want  to  find  out  whether  your 
shade  of  face  powder  is  playing  you  fair 
or  false,  make  this  unfailing  test:  Send 
for  all  5  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face 
Powder  which  I  offer  free,  and  try  each 
on  your  face  before  your  mirror. 

Don't  try  to  select  your  shade  in  ad- 


vance, as  flesh,  natural  or  rachel,  etc.  Try  each 
of  all  the  5  shades.  In  other  words,  don't  try  to 
match  your  skin, but, rather,to  flatter  it.  Merely 
matching  your  skin  won't  help.  What  you  want 
to  do  is  enhance  it  in  appearance! 

The  Shade  for  You  Is  One 
of  These  5 

The  5  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder  will 
answer  all  tones  of  skin.  (I  could  just  as  well 
have  made  25  shades,  but  I  know  from  scien- 
tific tests  that  only  5  are  necessary  for  all  color- 
ings of  skin.)  One  of  these  5  shades,  probably 
the  one  you  least  suspect,  will  instantly  assert 
itself  as  the  one  for  you.  It  will  prove  your  most 
becoming,  your  most  flattering.  It  will  "youth- 
ify"  rather  than  age  you  in  appearance. 

When  you  get  the  supply  of  Lady  Esther 
Face  Powder  which  I  send  you  free,  test  it  also 
for  smoothness.  Make  my  famous  "bite  test". 
Place  a  pinch  between  your  teeth  and  bite  on 
it.  Note  how  grit-free  it  is.  Mark  al>o  w  hat  a  del- 
icate beauty  it  gives  your  skin  and  how  long  it 
clings  and  stays  fresh.  In  every  way  you  will  find 
this  the  most  flattering  powder  you  ever  tried.

RADIO  STARS 


sidcr  the  fact  that  Rosaline  has  heen  Mary 
Lou  from  the  very  first  program,  never 
having:  missed  a  single  performance. 

As  for  her  singing  counterpart,  it  might 
surprise  you  to  know  that  Muriel  Wilson 
is  not  the  original  heroine  and  that  there- 
have  heen  four  singing  Mary  Lou's.  Mahel 
Jackson  was  the  original,  after  her  came 
Audrey  Marsh,  Katherine  Newman, 
Muriel  Wilson,  Lois  Bennett  and  Muriel 
again, 

DUT  while  the  singing  Mary  Lou  has 
been  played  at  various  times  by  one  fine 
soprano  after  another,  without  anyone  be- 
ing the  wiser,  nobody  has  been  found  who 
could  possibly  supplant  Rosaline  as  the 
talking  Mary  Lou.  That's  why  she  could 
never  miss  a  performance,  no  matter  what 
sickness  or  difficulty  arose. 

Once  she  had  an  operation  on  her  mouth, 
and  the  palate  was  stitched  up  and  then 
protected  by  wires  laced  across  it.  But 
when  Thursday  evening  rolled  around, 
there  was  Rosaline  before  the  microphone 
cooing  the  honeyed  phrases  of  Mary  Lou. 
Only  if  you  were  close  enough  to  see  the 
agonized  expression  on  her  face  would 
you  have  guessed  the  pain  and  torture  she 
was  going  through.  She  tried  talking  with 
her  tongue  on  her  teeth  instead  of  the 
roof  of  her  mouth,  but  it  didn't  always 
work.  You  try  talking  that  way  and  hear 
how  ridiculous  and  lispy  it  sounds.  Yet 
Rosaline  did  it,  and  her  Mary  Lou  that 
night  was  as  light  and  bubbly  as  ever.  Yet 
for  all  the  glory  that  came  her  way,  that 
sacrifice  might  as  well  have  been  unmade. 

You  remember  when  Radio  Stars  Mag- 
azine sent  Mary  Lou  out  to  Hollywood 
to  interview  Lanny  Ross?  It  was  to  be  a 
thrilling  adventure,  for  Mary  Lou  would 
be  dined  and  feted  at  lavish  Hollywood 
parties  given  in  her  honor.  At  the  last 
minute  it  was  decided  that  only  one  girl 


could  go — two  Mary  Ixiu's,  after  all,  would 
look  rather  ridiculous.  Deep  down  in  her 
heart,  Rosaline  hoped  that  she  would  be 
selected,  but  it  was  Muriel  Wilson  who 
was  chosen  since  she  had  already  been 
publicized  as  Mary  Lou.  Rosaline  read  in 
the  papers  and  magazines  of  the  gay  times 
"Mary  Lou"  was  having  in  Hollywood — 
how  she  was  seen  dancing  in  the  Cocoa- 
nut  Grove  with  Clark  Gable,  having  din- 
ner with  Francis  Lederer,  being  enter- 
tained royally  at  this  place  and  that  by 
other  famous  movie  stars.  Like  a  real  step- 
child, she  had  to  stay  home  and  just  be 
a  good  sport  about  it. 

But  the  most  ironically  amusing  touch 
of  all  was  when  Rosaline,  in  New  York, 
stood  before  a  microphone  that  was  linked 
by  a  direct  wire  to  the  Coast,  and,  script 
in  hand,  gushed,  "Oh,  Lanny,  it's  so  won- 
derful being  here  in  Hollywood  with  you. 
I'm  having  such  a  glorious  time  .  .  ." 

A  S  far  as  the  monetary  advantages  go, 
Rosaline  has  had  none  of  the  radio 
buildups  which  would  make  her  name  a 
greater  asset  in  commanding  more  money, 
or  garnering  new  jobs.  For  instance,  if 
she  should  decide  to  go  into  a  Broad- 
way play,  she  wouldn't  get  a  higher  salary, 
as  Charley  Winninger  did.  If  she  should 
go  into  another  radio  program,  her  name 
hasn't  been  publicized  to  rate  a  star  salary, 
as  Annette  Hanshaw  or  Muriel  Wilson. 
And  as  for  the  movies — well,  could  the 
name  Rosaline  Greene  on  a  theatre  mar- 
quee attract  fans  like  that  of  Lanny  Ross? 
This  isn't  a  silly  or  far-fetched  supposi- 
tion. Don't  forget,  she's  appeared  on  the 
same  program  as  these  others,  and  is  as 
importantly  cast. 

In  spite  of  her  eleven  years  on  the  air, 
Rosaline  is  still  in  her  twenties,  and  a 
striking  brunette  to  the  bargain.  She  hap- 
pened into  radio  quite  accidentally,  while 


she  was  a  sophomore  in  the  Albany  Stat' 
College  for  Teachers.  WGY  in  Schenectad.' 
offered  radio  auditions  to  the  student 
there  in  an  effort  to  round  up  some  talent 
and  Rosaline  who  had  never  taken  ; 
dramatic  lesson  in  her  life,  discoveree 
that  her  warm,  contralto  voice  blend 
beautifully  into  the  mike.  She  was 
only  one  from  the  school  selected  to  jc 
the  dramatic  group  of  the  station.  Fro 
then  on  teaching  was  forgotten  altogeth 

In  those  years  that  followed  in  ra 
Rosaline  has  enjoyed  probably  more  su 
cess  and  genuine,  heart-warming  glo 
than  most  other  radio  stars,  but  it 
been  toned  down,  unpublicized  and 
commercialized.  She  has  appeared 
many  of  the  most  famous  programs 
radio,  the  Radio  Guild,  Famous  Loves, 
the  Goldbergs  are  just  a  few  examples 
she  was  chosen  as  the  possessor  of  "Ame 
ica's  most  perfect  voice"  at  the  Radio': 
World's  Fair  in  Madison  Square  Gardei 
a  few  years  ago — she  is  one  of  the 
dependable  and  most  sought-after  actress 
in  radio — yet,  in  spite  of  all  this,  is  sti 
buried  in  obscurity. 

It's  a  peculiar  situation  and  can't 
blamed  on  anyone.  But  if  it  had  first  be 
decided  to  feature  the  talking  Mary 
instead  of  the  singing  one,  if  Rosalin 
had  gone  temperamental  and  insisted  up 
billing,  if  she  could  have  foreseen  th 
future,  then  Rosaline  Greene  today  wou 
not  be  radio's  stepchild.

Maestros  on  Parade 


Let  Me  Call  You  Mine  and  Rest  My 
Weary  Soul  are  his  latest  popular  tunes. 
A  new  musical  comedy,  the  production  of 
which  will  require  an  eighteen-piece  or- 
chestra, cast  and  chorus,  has  just  been 
completed  by  Wendell. 

Charles  Previn  gives  us  his  All  1934 
Musical  Team.  He  says  the  high  spots 
of  the  past  year  have  been :  Cocktails  for 
Two,  Smoke  Gets  in  Your  Eyes,  All  I 
Do  Is  Dream  of  You,  Two  Cigarettes  in 
the  Dark,  Carioca,  Did  You  Ever  See  a 
Dream  Walking,  and  Love  in  Bloom.  And 
just  to  show  the  contrast,  he  further  tells 
us  that  in  1922  the  following  were  the 
raves :  Ain't  We  Got  Fun,  Three  O'Clock 
in  the  Morning,  That  Old  Gang  of  Mine, 
and  Kreisler's  familiar  classic,  The  Old 
Refrain. 

•  WANTED :  One  Female  Tuba  Player. 
That's  the  plea  of  Phil  Spitalny,  director 
of  the  all- feminine  show  tagged,  Hour  of 
Charm  broadcast  Thursdays.  Out  of  eleven 
hundred  who  auditioned  for  the  thirty-two- 
piece  band,  there  wasn't  a  single  candidate 
for  the  position  of  tuba  player.  While 


(Continued  from  page  63) 

this  was  being  written,  Billy  Jenks,  girl 
trombonist  at  the  New  York  Conservatory, 
was  trying  to  fill  the  bill.  Every  member 
of  Phil's  band  is  a  girl  and  he  must  find 
a  girl  tuba  player  or  the  orchestra  just 
won't  have  that  part  of  the  bass,  for  Phil 
will  not  consider  a  man  for  the  job. 

This  is  the  first  time  an  all-girl  orchestra 
has  landed  a  good  radio  account.  And  to 
the  surprise  of  many  old  timers,  the  band 
it  better  than  that  of  many  men.  We  salute 
Phil  Spitalny  for  giving  radio  its  first 
new  and  original  idea  in  twelve  months. 

•  A  new  show  featuring  George  Olsen 
and  wife,  Ethel  Shutta,  along  with  the 
rest  of  his  circus,  will  make  its  bow  this 
month,  hitting  the  air  on  Sunday  after- 
noons. 

•  Maestro  Vic  Meyers,  the  band  leader 
who  turned  to  be  lieutenant-governor  of 
the  state  of  Washington,  paid  off  eight 
thousand  dollars  in  debts  at  a  dinner  re- 
cently. Forty-two  creditors,  with  glasses 
raised  high,  drank  a  toast  to  him  at  the 
"coming-out-of-the-red     party."  Favors 


were  checks  which  Vic  owed  the  guests 

•  Gus  Arnheim  recently  has  moved  wit! 
a  network  wire,  from  the  Cocoanut  Grov< 
to  Chez  Paree  at  Chicago.  Arnheim  sup- 
planted Henry  Busse  who  had  been  at  the 
spot  without  interruption  for  fifte 
months,  seven  nights  a  week. 

•  Clyde  Lucas  and  his  California  Don 
will  go  into  the  Hotel  New  Yorker  Ma\ 
1st.  Thus  this  band  has  risen  from  ob- 
scurity to  definite  success  in  about  eightee 
months  by  way  of  Detroit,  Chicago,  Cin- 
cinnati and  then  into  New  York,  with  his 
music  going  over  both  networks. 

•  Harold  Stokes,  Chicago  dance  conduc- 
tor, got  his  first  new  hat  in  twelve  years 
this  winter.  A  dozen  years  ago,  when  he 
was  playing  the  accordion  in  Del  Lampe  s 
orchestra  (Wayne  King  played  sax  and 
roomed  with  Stokes),  someone  swiped  his 
hat  in  a  loop  restaurant.  Stokes  vowed  he 
would  never  buy  another.  But  when  the 
mercury  sank  to  twenty  below  one  morning, 
Stokes  yielded  and  bought  a  new  headpiece.

Vhy  Paul's  Fourth 

Marriage  Is  a 
Success 

(Continued  from  page  15) 

Mi  were  such  a  marvellous  actor.  But 
p  such  a  shame  to  waste  it  all  here.  Why, 
j  you  were  on  the  stage  and  put  all  that 
potion  into  a  scene,  you'd  panic  them!" 
Paul  stared  at  her.  For  a  moment  he 
ivered  between  anger  and  laughter.  Then 
ry  was  succeeded  by  a  pleased,  flattered 
eling.  He  grinned.  The  war  was  over ! 
'For  eight  weeks  Margaret  acted  as  his 
let.  trying  out  other  valets  in  the  mean- 
lile.  but  they  weren't  satisfactory  to  her, 
of  course  she  didn't  try  to  impose  them 
Paul.  Finally  they  found  one  who  was 
perfect  jewel,  and  he  has  been  with  them 
er  since. 

Then  there  was  the  time  when  Paul 
is  certain  he  didn't  want  his  room  decor- 
?d  in  gray,  although  the  painters  al- 
idy  had  started  working  on  it.  "I  think 
bright  golden  color  would  be  so  much 
Iter,"  Paul  suggested. 
Another  woman  might  have  told  him 
it,  since  the  painters  were  half  through 
th  the  job,  he'd  have  to  take  it  and 
e  it !  But  Margaret  was  wiser. 
"Just  let  the  painters  finish  the  room ; 
i  me  get  the  carpet  down  and  the 
fapes  up,"  said  she.  "In  the  meanwhile 
1  send  for  color  charts.  Then  if  you 
n't  like  the  room  this  way  we'll  have  it 
ne  over  again." 

"Okay,"  said  Paul,  "but  I  don't  like 
ay,  I  never  did  like  it  and  I  never  will 
e  it !  Gold  or  yellow — that's  the  thing." 
Soon  Margaret  had  a  red  carpet  on 
:  floor  and  lovely  drapes  in  the  room, 

Id  a  golden  clock  on  the  wall.  Then  she 
nded  Paul  some  color  charts.  "Now,  in 
iat  color  do  you  want  your  room  done 

jer?"  she  asked. 
Done  over?"  he  said.  "I  don't  want  it 

jne  over.    You  were  right  about  that 

ay.  It  looks  grand  with  the  red  carpet 
1  those  drapes !" 

When  Paul  and  his  band  go  on  tour 
j'  more  than  a  one-night  stand,  Margaret 
jes  with  him.  taking  some  of  her  best 
.ens,  bed  sheets  and  silverware  with  her. 
len,  no  matter  where  they  are,  Paul  can 
>ep  on  familiar  bedclothes.  If  he  can't  be 

•  home  all  the  time,  Margaret  is  deter- 
ned  to  take  a  little  bit  of  their  home 
th  them,  wherever  they  go. 

vVhen  Paul  was  appearing  at  the  Para- 
ge Theatre  in  the  Bronx,  New  York, 
[entry,  Margaret  sent  over  a  hot  meal 
the  theatre  every  evening.  Couldn't 
ul  have  walked  across  the  street  and 
lered  a  meal  in  a  restaurant  ?   Sure,  he 

<  ild,  but  what  would  there  be  about  that 
xal  to  stand  for  home  and  his  marriage 
'  Margaret?  So  Margaret  sent  him  his

ftr  she  could,  came  down  to  have  din- 

<  with  him.  And  was  he  flattered' 
mldn't  you  be? 

The  one  thing  that  worries  her  is  Paul's

Another family 
discovers  the  safe  way  to  End 
CORN  SUFFERING 


(1)  Mary,  I  simply  won't  stand  for  your 
suffering  like  that  any  more!  I'm  going  out 
to  get  the  best  thing  for  a  corn  that's  made! 


(2)  Here  it  is '  The 
druggist  said  it's  the 
most  popular  corn  re- 
mover— made  by  a  fine 
old  surgical  dressing 
company — easy  to  use, 
and  safe. 


(3)  That's  right!  After 
soaking  the  foot  ten  min- 
utes you  apply  the  Blue- 
Jay —  and  the  pain 
stops  immediately! 
After  three  pain- 
less days  the  corn 
will  lift  out,  com- 
pletely. 


(4)  I'm  so  glad  you  took  me  in  hand,  John! 
I'm  never  going  to  nurse  a  corn  again — I'll 
just  take  it  right  out  with  Blue-Jay. 


The  Safe,  Scientific  Way  to 
End  CORN  SUFFERING 

•  If  you  are  one  of  the  thousands  of  corn  suf' 
ferers  who  have  tried  ineffectual  ways  ot  get- 
ting rid  of  corns— or  if  you  are  one  of  those 
who  still  use  the  dangerous  method  of  cutting 
or  paring  corns  — we  urge  that  you  try  sate, 
scientific  Blue-Jay.  For  3,5  years  this  easy,  sure 
treatment  has  ended  corn  suffering  for  mil- 
lions. It  will  do  the  same  for  you. 

Bluejay  stops  the  pain  instantly.  The  soft, 
snug-fitting  pad  cushions  the  corn  against  painful 
shoe  pressure.  The  pad  is  hel  d  securely  in  place 
by  the  Wet-Pruf  adhesive  strip  (waterproof— 
soft  kid-like  finish— does  not  cling  to  stocking). 
Then  Blue-Jay  safe  medication  gently  under- 
mines the  corn  without  your  knowing  it —and 
after  3  days  you  lift  out  the  corn  completely. 
Every  drugstore  sells  Blue-Jay — 25c  a  package.

lat  when  Margaret  married  him  Paul 
id  sixty  thousand  dollars  worth  of  debts 
lat  he  didn't  even  know  about !  Margaret 
iw  to  it  that  they  were  paid,  and  then 
:gan  a  new  life  for  Paul.  For  the  first 
me  in  his  life  he  is  saving  a  certain 
nount  weekly,  for  Margaret  wants  him 

have  enough  money  laid  away  so  that  he 
ill  be  independent  financially. 
"I'm  not  saying  this  out  of  conceit," 
lie  told  me  frankly,  "but  if  I,  or  some- 
le  like  me,  hadn't  come  along,  I  swear 
fiat  Paul  Whiteman  would  have  landed 

the  poorhouse,  so  extravagant  and  gen- 
pus  is  he !  I  kid  him  sometimes,  say- 
g:  'Some  day  you'll  be  playing  your 
Idle  at  the  street  corners  and  they'll  pass 
r,  saying:  'There  goes  poor  old  Paul!' 
id  7  remember  him  when!'" 
[Today  it  is  Margaret  who  handles  their 
tint  checking  account  and  their  invest- 
[ents.  Paul  hates  business.  So  Margaret 
tscusses  it  with  him  when  he's  resting 

bed.  or  right  after  he's  had  a  savory 
jal  and  is  feeling  at  peace  with  the  world, 
tie  spends  two  or  three  hours  a  day  going 
rough  his  business  mail,  so  that  she  can 
|nnow  the  wheat  from  the  chaff  and 
|ing  to  Paul's  attention  anything  im- 
jrtant. 

•Odd  Mclntyre,  the  columnist,  told  her 
at,  before  they  were  married,  Paul 
■ighed  three  hundred  pounds.  "I  didn't 
ink  I'd  see  him  alive  again,"  Mclntyre 
id.  "He  seemed  to  have  absolutely  no 
pt  for  life.  He  was  all  played  out." 
But  losing  weight  pepped  Paul  up. 
:ntally  and  physically.  And  how  do  you 
ppose  Margaret  kept  him  from  becom- 
|  discouraged  in  the  battle  to  lose  weight  ? 
hen  his  weight  fluctuated,  she  never  told 
n  that  he  was  gaining,  even  when  it  was 
nporarily  true.  "Darling,  you  look  much 
nner!"  was  the  watchword.  "But  I 
aned  a  pound  today,"  he'd  complain, 
j'ou  don't  look  it,"  Margaret  said  cheer- 
jftly.  And  that  gave  him  the  courage  to 
i  on  trying  to  lose  more  pounds. 
Of  course  Margaret  isn't  invariably 
l.tful.  There  was,  for  instance,  the  time 
•lit  she  had  to  kick  Paul  under  the  table, 
ft,  yes,  she  did ! 

tt  happened  because  Paul  is  one  of  the 
i>st  honest  people  in  the  world !  He 
';sn't  know  what  it  means  to  evade  a 
Ipstion,  to  smooth  things  over  with  little 
*  ite  lies.  Ask  him  his  honest  opinion  of 
:>  thing,  and  he'll  tell  it  to  you,  whether 
>i  like  it  or  not ! 

Due  day  at  a  dinner  party  a  rival  band 
fder  said  to  Paul :  "Tell  me,  Mr.  White- 
in,  what  is  your  honest  opinion  of  my 

You  really  want  my  honest  opinion?" 
i'.ed  Paul,  beaming. 
l|0h,  yes,"  said  the  other  man. 
I  'aul  didn't  see  Margaret's  warning  look, 
"ell  to  tell  you  the  truth,"  said  he,  "your 
'id  is  simply  awful." 

\nd  at  that  Margaret  kicked  his  foot 
tier  the  table! 

1  'aul  turned  round  and  glared  at  her. 
-ien,  oblivious  of  the  important  guests 
[  that  party  he  asked:  "Margaret,  why 
I  you  just  kick  me  under  the  table?" 

Because   you   were   saying  something 
Jii  shouldn't   have   said,"   replied  Mar-

Poor  Complexion? 


Nurses  now  tell  how 
famous  medicated  cream 

Corrects  ugly  skin  faults 


Thousands  use  it  for  Pimples, 
Large  Pores,  Blackheads, 
Gold  Sores,  Chapped  Skin 

OVER  2  million  women  today  use  this 
famous  medicated  cream  to  relieve 
skin  irritations,  to  help  clear  up  blem- 
ished complexions— to  help  restore  their 
skin  to  normal  healthy  loveliness. 

Of  this  vast  number  of  women,  thou- 
sands are  nurses,  whose  training  and 
experience  have  taught  them  what  is  best 
for  the  skin. 

What  it  is 

This  famous  medicated  cream  is  Noxzema 
Skin  Cream— a  dainty,  snow-white,  grease- 
less  formula  that  doctors  first  prescribed 
to  relieve  eczema,  sunburn  and  other  skin 
irritations. 


Nurses  discovered  its  value  in  helping  to 
correct  skin  faults.  "It  clears  my  com- 
plexion as  nothing  else  does,"  one  nurse 
wrote.  "It's  the  best  thing  ever  for  rough, 
chapped  face  and  hands,"  wrote  another. 

If  your  skin  is  Rough  or  badly  Chapped 
—  if  you  have  Cold  Sores,  Pimples,  Black- 
heads, Large  Pores,  just  try  Noxzema 
Cream— and  see  what  a  big  improvement 
it  makes  in  your  skin. 

Apply  Noxzema  at  night.  Wash  it  off 
in  the  morning  with  warm  water  first, 
then  cold  water  or  apply  ice.  Apply  a 
little  Noxzema  during  the  day— as  a  foun- 
dation for  powder.  Use  Noxzema  until 
skin  is  relieved  or  blemishes  disappear. 

Special  trial  offer 

Ask  your  druggist  for  a  small  trial  jar— if 
he  cannot  supply  you  send  only  15c  for  generous 
25c  jar— enough  to  make  a  big 
improvement  in  your  skin.  Ad-

Overnight  ...  OR  NO  COST

of  Noxzema  from  your  druggist— apply  it  tonight— as  much 
as  the  skin  will  absorb.  Notice  them  in  the  morning.  If  sore- 
ness has  not  disappeared— if  hands  arc  not  softer,  whiter, 
your  druggist  will  gladly  refund  your  money.

Finds  Relief 
At  Last- In  Safe 

ALL-VEGETABLE  METHOD 

IT  dated  from  about  the  time  she  was  mar- 
ried— her  trouble  with  intestinal  sluggish- 
ness, chronic  tiredness,  nervousness  and  head- 
aches. Nothing  gave  more  than  partial  relief 
until  she  tried  a  product  containing  a  balanced 
combination  of  natural  plant  and  vegetable 
laxatives.  Nature's  Remedy  (NR  Tablets).  The 
first  dose  showed  her  the  difference.  She  felt  so 
much  better  immediately — more  like  living. 

Your  own  common  sense  tells  you  an  all- 
vegetable  laxative  is  best.  You've  probably 
heard  your  doctor  say  so.  Try  NR  s  today. 
Note  how  refreshed  you  feel.  Note  the  natural 
action,  but  the  thorough  cleansing  effect.  NR's 
are  so  kind  to  your  system — so  quickly  effec- 
tive in  clearing  up  colds,  biliousness,  headaches. 
And  they're  non-habit  forming.  The  handy  25

aret,  trapped.  But  when  they  got  home, 
jhe  said:  "Paul,  you  shouldn't  have  em- 
arrassed  me  before  all  those  people  by 
sking  me  why  I  kicked  you." 
"But  I  don't  want  to  be  kicked  under  the 
able,"  protested  Paul. 
There  might  have  been  a  scene?  If  you 
link  that  there  was,  you  don't  know  the 
irl! 

!  "Okay,"  said  Margaret,  "we'll  drop  the 
Jubject."  But  she  still  kicks  him  under  the 
lible  when  it's  necessary.   Praying  all  the 
me  that  he  won't  ask  her  why  ! 
Often  a  man's  son  by  a  former  marriage 
'imes  between   him   and  his  wife.  And 
'aul  has  custody  of  his  ten-year-old  son, 
'aul  Jr.,  three  months  during  the  year, 
low  does  Margaret  solve  the  stepmother 
roblcm?    And  how  does  she  avoid  dis- 
jreements   with  the  boy's  real  mother, 
anda  Hoff?    She  does  it  the  way  any 
oman  of  fineness  of  character  and  in- 
lligence  can  do  it,  if  she  chooses. 
Originally  the  boy's  mother  thought  it 
ould  be  best  to  send  Paul  Jr.  to  camp 
|>r  two  months  out  of  the  three  during 
hich  Paul  was  to  have  custody  of  the  lad. 
nother  woman  would  have  been  glad  t<> 
ct  rid  of  her  stepson  that  way.  But  not 
'largaret.  She  adores  the  boy. 
:  "Paul,"  said  Margaret,  "if  he's  with  his 
(other  nine   months   and   in  camp  two 
lonths,  how  will  he  get  the  benefit  of 
pur  companionship?   That's   even  more 
fiportant  than  his  going  to  camp."  So  she 
loured  out  a  plan  by  which  the  boy  could 
E  outdoors  during  the  summer  and  still 
Kt  to  know  his  father.  Paul  Jr.  would 
live  breakfast  and  dinner  with  his  father, 
lid  they  would  hire  a  boy  who  could  swim 
,'id  play  golf  to  spend  the  day  outdoors 
ith  Paul  when  Paul  Sr.  was  busy  with 
pS  work.  "When  I  tell  the  boy's  mother 
ir  plans  for  him,  I'm  sure  she'll  consent," 
id  Margaret.  She  did — enthusiastically. 
Margaret  still  calls  up  the  boy's  mother 
henever  any  question  about  the  boy's  wel- 
re  comes  up.    For  instance,  only  last 
immer  she  refused  to  let  young  Paul 
ke  up  horseback  riding  until  his  own 
other  consented. 

Are  you  beginning  to  see  why  Paul 
hiteman's  marriage  is  a  success?  Of 
urse  it  isn't  all  due  to  Margaret  Liv- 
igston's  wise  and  tender  handling  of 
fery  situation  that  comes  up.  Part  of  it 
l  due  to  Paul's  generosity  and  the  many 
alities  that  make  him  one  of  the  grand- 
t  guys  on  Broadway.  But  grand  as  he 
it  takes  a  woman  of  extraordinary 
itience  and  common  sense  to  make  the 
ost  of  marriage  to  such  a  temperamental 
rsonality.

Clear  up  snijfly  little  noses  — 
help  to  prevent  many  colds, 
too-ivith  VICKS  VA-TRO-NOL 

THE  next  time  you  hear  a  sniffle 
in  your  home,  mother,  don't  wait 
until  it  grows  into  a  bad  cold.  Promptly, 
apply  Vicks  Va-tro-nol — just  a  few 
drops  up  each  nostril. 

Va-tro-nol  reduces  swollen  mem- 
branes and  clears  away  clogging  mucus. 
That  annoying  stuffiness  vanishes — 
normal  breathing  through  the  nose 
again  becomes  easy. 

Especially  designed  for  the  nose  and 
upper  throat — where  most  colds  start — 
Va-tro-nol  aids  the  functions  provided 


by  Nature  to  prevent  colds,  or  to  throw 
them  off  in  the  early  stages.  Used  at  the 
very  first  sign  of  irritation,  Va-tro-nol 
aids  in  avoiding  many  colds  altogether. 

Vicks  Va-tro-nol  is  real  medication — 
yet  is  absolutely  safe — for  children  and 
adults  alike.  And  so  easy  to  use — any 
time  or  place.  Keep  a  bottle  handy. 


Tlotef  For  Your  Protection 

The  remarkable  success  of  Vicks 
drops — for  nose  and  throat — has 
brought  scores  of  imitations.  The 
trade-mark  "Va-tro-nol"  is  your  pro- 
tection in  getting  this  exclusive 
Vicks  formula. 
Always  ask  for  Vicks  Va-tro-nol.

In  the  "Strictly  Confidential"  department  we  ran  a  picture  of  a  vested

happen.  But  henceforth  we  are  on  our  old  standard — 100%  correct!

Gray  Hair 

Best  Remedy  is  Made  At  Home 

You  can  now  make  at  home  a  better  gray 
hair  remedy  than  you  can  buy  by  following 
this  simple  recipe:  To  half  pint  of  water  add 
one  ounce  bay  rum,  a  small  box  of  Barbo 
Compound  and  one-fourth  ounce  of  glycerine. 
Any  druggist  can  put  this  up  or  you  can  mix 
It  yourself  at  very  little  cost.  Apply  to  the  hair 
twice  aweek  until  the  desired  shade  is  obtained. 

Barbo  imparts  color  to  streaked,  faded  or 
gray  hair,  making  it  soft  and  glossy.  It  will 
not  color  the  scalp,  is  not  sticky  or  greasy 
and  does  not  rub  off.

itching  her  with  passionate  devotion. 
| No  way  of  bringing  up  a  child?  Ot 
urse  not.  But  it  was  the  only  way  the 
ung  mother  could  manage. 
As  a  child.  Lois  Bennett  had  been  un- 
fppy,  maladjusted,  because  her  family 
id  been  on  the  move  constantly,  from 
<lahoma  City  to  Rush  City  to  Ft.  Worth, 
id  shy,  frightened  little  Lois  was  tied  in 
[knot  with  each  new  move,  afraid  that 
c  children  would  make  fun  of  her, 
buldn't  want  to  play  with  her.  Once  for 
[whole  week  she  had  refused  to  recite  in 
fiss.  pleading  unpreparedness,  because  the 
st  day  the  teacher  had  laughed  at  her. 
iAnd  yet — she  was  giving  her  baby  a 
prse  life !  At  least  she  had  had  a  father 
Id  mother,  and  her  own  little  room  and 
ssessions  she  became  attached  to.  But 
p  best  she  could  do  for  her  child  was 
l.ing  her  a  nomad,  haphazard,  gypsy  ex- 
|ence. 

'After  two  years  of  a  constant  struggle 
tr  existence,  Lois  Bennett  got  a  lucky 
:ak.  Winthrop  Ames  was  planning  a 
lies  of  Gilbert  and  Sullivan  revivals, 
'd  offered  her  the  role  of  prima  donna. 
[)w  it  seemed  she  could  have  some  peace, 
tit  she  could  establish  a  real  home  for 
[Idling  little  Joan,  provide  her  with  the 
mforts  every  parent  wants  for  her  chil- 
'cn.  Now  Joan  could  associate  with 
Hingsters  her  own  age,  nice  children,  not 
ble  street  toughs. 

At  this  point,  Lois  almost  changed  her 
nd  about  careers  not  mixing  with  ba- 
ts. But  a  few  weeks  later  something 
is  to  happen  that  was  irrevocably  to  re- 
irm  this  decision,  that  was  to  leave  a 
,>und  that  even  time  cannot  erase  from 
r  being.  It  was  while  she  was  appear- 
|?  in  Iolanthe. 

One  Spring  morning  Joan  woke  with 
■  :old."  Lois  told  me.  "Of  course,  I  sent 
ir  the  doctor,  and  told  the  maid  to  keep 
Jr  in  bed.    Naturally,  she  was  restless, 

1  finally  was  allowed  out.  The  day  was 
Jry  raw 

While  I  was  resting  in  my  dressing- 
>m  at  the  end  of  the  first  act  that  after- 
on.  the  phone  rang.  It  was  the  maid, 
ribly  frightened.  Joan  was  ill,  very  ill ; 
f  doctor  had  said  it  was  double  pneu- 
rmia.  The  baby  had  a  temperature  of 
5.  And  she  wasn't  expected  to  live  till 
;ot  home." 

Half -crazed,  frantic  with  worry,  Lois 
nnett  forgot  everything,  the  audience  in 
font,  the  show.  All  she  wanted  was  to 
|  to  her  baby,  her  little  tot,  who  lay 

HEN  came  her  cue  to  go  on.  She 
wouldn't  desert  now.  She  had  to  go 
i  ough  with  the  performance.  Dragging 
I  self  on  the  stage,  she  went  on.    "I  don't 

>\v  what  I  did  or  said  for  the  rest  of 
ft  play,"  she  told  me.  "All  I  could  think

(Continued  fr 
hadn't  gone  to  the  theatre  the  day  she 
caught  cold  ...  if  I  had  been  home  to 
watch  her  ...  I  almost  went  mad." 

W  hen  the  curtain  went  down  on  the 
last  scene,  Lois  Bennett  collapsed.  When 
they  took  her  home.  Joan,  her  adorable, 
dimpled  baby  lay  cold  and  still  and  blue. 
She  didn*t  move.  All  you  heard  in  that 
house  was  the  awful  choking,  gasping 
ireath  of  the  feverish  child.  At  the  child's 
oedside,  praying  for  a  sign  of  life,  the 
jrief -stricken  mother  kept  her  vigil.  And 
God  was  kind.  Toward  morning,  Joan's 
?yelids  flickered. 

f  "She'll  live."  the  nurse  said  shortly, 
f  In  the  next  few  weeks,  Lois  Bennett  lost 
.wenty  pounds.  And  though  every  fibre 
.vithin  her  cried  out  to  be  permitted  to 
emain  home,  to  help  the  white,  weak  baby 
(struggle  back  to  health,  she  never  once 
kipped  a  performance. 

W  here  would  the  money  come  from  for 
!he  doctor's  bills,  for  special  day  and  night 
mrses,  for  medicines  and  high-priced  spe- 
cialists, if  she  stayed  home? 
•  Bitterly  she  told  herself,  "A  career  and 
notherhood  do  not  mix."     God  willing. 
ier  daughter  would  never  have  to  attempt 
Jo  reconcile  the  two ! 
Still  believing  that  a  career  and  mother- 
ood  do  not  mix.  she  went  out  and  grabbed 
erself  a  place  in  radio.    At  least  in  radio 
he  knew  she  could  stay  put.  could  make 
ome  sort  of  home  for  her  child.  Into 
adio  she  walked,  quaking  inwardly,  but 
uite  determined.    Before  long  she  walked 
ut,  the  contract  for  the  original  Quaker 
[  fairl,  one  of  the  air's   outstanding  pro- 
grams of  a  few  years  ago,  in  her  hands. 
Five  years  ago  she  married  her  sponsor, 
.ouis  J.  Chatten,  and  two  years  later  they 
ad  a  daughter,  Jane.    Lois  thought  then 
lat  she   would  never   have  to  combine 
lotherhood  and  a  career  again. 


oin  page  95) 

But  last  year  found  her  back  on  the  air 
for  awhile  as  Mary  Lou  of  Show  Boat, 
remember?  Old  Man  Depression  was  re- 
sponsible for  that.  And  today  she  is  the 
singing  star  of  the  Gibson  Family  and 
Club  Romance. 

Faultlessly  gowned,  her  blue  eyes  radi- 
ant from  excitement,  she  leans  over  the 
mike,  and  her  fresh  young  voice  sings  its 
way  into  millions  of  homes  and  hearts,  and 
we  never  think  of  babies  and  diapers  and 
heartaches  when  we  think  of  her. 

Yet  the  only  thing  you  can  get  her  to 
talk  about,  aside  from  her  radio  work, 
which  she  loves,  is  her  children.  That  her 
first-born,  Joan,  sings  beautifully.  That 
John,  her  husband's  ten  year  old  son  by  a 
former  marriage,  is  going  to  be  a  great 
surgeon.  And  that  little  Jane  can  count 
up  to  twenty. 

She  still  insists  that  babies  and  careers 

don't  mix.    Yet  I  don't  know  of  anyone 

who  is  doing  a  better  job  of  combining 

them  than  Lois  Bennett.

Don't  let  an 
UNSIGHTLY  SKIN 


He  Tried  Everything  Once 


(Continued  from  page  54) 


;  "I  haven't  the  faintest  idea  what  either  of 
js  can  do  to  earn  money  but  I  know  what 
re  can  do  to  take  our  minds  off  our  trou- 
les.   I  know  a  fellow  named  George  Barr 
aker.    He's  editor  of  Everybody's  Maga- 
ne.    He's  got  a  dandy  studio  downtown, 
let's   go   and    see    him    and    play  his 
iano." 

Baker  drew  from  the  reluctant  Daly,  his 
lerished  dreams  of  becoming  a  journalist, 
e  listened  to  him  play  .  .  .  Would  Bill 
<e  to  go  to  a  dinner  party  at  the  home 

his  publisher  in  the  fashionable  Gram- 
cy  Park  neighborhood?  If  he  would 
ay  for  the  guests,  and  they  were  pleased, 
ere  was  a  bare  possibility  that  the  pub- 
-her  might  offer  him  some  kind  of  work. 

Bill  hesitated.  The  thought  of  confusing 
lives  and  forks,  strange  dishes,  unknown 

nes.  beautiful,  supercilious  ladies  with 

mners  sparkling  and  cold  as  diamonds, 
■palled  him. 

"I — I  can't,"  he  mumbled.  "I  haven't 
y  dinner  clothes." 

"1*11  dig  up  a  suit  for  you,"  Baker  said. 
Among  the  guests  in  the  publishers'  lux- 
ious  drawing-room,  Daly  felt  himself  a 
rure  out  of  a  nightmare.    The  Tuxedo 


George  had  dug  up  for  him  had  been  made 
for  a  man  much  better  fed  and  with  much 
shorter  arms.  Everything  he  had  dreaded 
had  come  to  pass.  The  bewildering  dinner 
.  .  .  The  brilliant  conversation  that  bubbled 
about  him  as  about  a  snag  sticking  up  in  a 
crystal  brook  .  .  .  And  now  he  was  asked 
to  play  the  piano  for  the  guests. 

He  seated  himself  on  the  stool.  Leaned 
forward  to  place  his  hands  on  the  keys, 
then  stiffened.  Someone  must  be  shooting 
w  hite  hot  darts  into  his  neck !  Then  he 
knew.  Each  time  he  leaned  forward,  the 
stiff  collar  cut  into  the  boils  starvation  had 
induced.  His  fingers  groped  for  the  keys 
as  he  sat  in  that  strained  position.  Pain 
darting  through  his  muscles,  he  began  tc 
play.  Tears  of  angry  despair  blurred  the 
politely  smiling  faces  of  the  guests  into 
leering  gargoyles  as  he  stumbled  through 
his  offering.  All  he  wanted  was  to  get 
through  and  get  out. 

Suddenly  it  was  over.  The  applause 
seemed  harsh,  mocking.  Xo  chance  of  a 
job,  of  course.  But  he'd  had  a  good  meal. 
That  might  keep  him  on  his  feet  a  couple 
of  days.

To  his   amazement,   he   saw   his  host 
eckoning  him  aside.    They  talked.  Daly 
>ld  once. more  of  his  thwarted  ambitions, 
.s  in  a  dream  he  heard  himself  being 
Ifered  an  editorial  position  ! 
Here  was  success,  at  last. 
Success,  indeed !    In  fact,  for  four  years 
was  so  brilliant  that  the  failure  that 
pllowed  it  was  doubly  bitter.    It  wouldn't 
i  to  dwell  on  the  fascinating  tales  of  his 
scovery  of  such  famous  authors  as  Edna 
erber,  nor  his  working  side  by  side  with 
inclair  Lewis.    For  this  is  the  story  of 
aly's  gallant  battle  with  failure. 
.This  time  it  was  not  his  fault.  Pade- 
wski  was  the  innocent  cause  of  that 
Lmfall.     The  great  pianist  had  heard 
ill  conduct  at  a  concert  in  the  home  of 
friend.    At  Paderewski's  suggestion,  he 
>.ve  up  his  editorial  position  to  seek  and 
id  the  place  of  musical  director  of  the 
liladelphia  Opera  Company. 
And  it  wasn't  his  fault  that  the  World 
I'ar  should  start  in  Europe  just  then ! 
fjt  his  fault  that  so  many  members  of 
j  company  were  interned  in  Austria  and 
■rmany  that  the  season  for  which  he  had 
ien  engaged,  was  cancelled ! 
Broken-hearted,  Bill  Daly  returned  to 
i:w  York.    He  was  no  longer  the  well- 
jown,  respected  editor.    Only  his  music 
is  left  to  him.    In  a  short  time  he  be- 
ne just  another  of  the  unknowns  who 
unt  Tin  Pan  Alley.     He  wandered  in 
i,i  out  of  music  publishing  houses.  He 
reived  a  few  dollars  for  orchestrating 
e,   rebuffs    there.     He    was  starving 

I  lin. 

,"n  one  music  publishing  house  where  he 

II  been  sitting  dreary  hours  waiting  for 
•ne  kind,  any  kind  of  work,  he  met  a 
;  ing  upstart  by  the  name  of  George 
Irshwin,  a  fellow  who  had  some  crazy 
ias  about  modern  music.  Bill  had  some 
ias,  too.  In  the  misery  of  their  poverty 
;il  the  ecstasy  of  their  musical  ideas,  they 
srved  along  together.  But  Bill  was 
1  mded  by  the  realization  that  at  nearly 
trty,  he  was  no  farther  along  than  was 
( >rge  at  twenty. 

'hat  was  Daly,  the  failure ! 
Vhat  he  did  not  know  was  that,  penni- 
K  though  he  was,  William  Daly  had  be- 


from  page  97) 

gun  to  find  himself.  The  next  year,  Charles 
Dillingham,  the  producer,  heard  of  Daly's 
work  and  engaged  him  to  write  and  con- 
duct the  music  of  the  show,  "Hands  Up," 
the  presentation  in  which  Will  Rogers 
made  his  first  hit. 

Look  at  the  Daly  of  today  .  .  . 

In  the  audience  of  Radio  City's  greatest 
studio,  you  sit  and  look  up  at  the  semi- 
circular stage,  and  watch  the  man  who  is 
emerging  from  behind  the  great  screens 
which  hide  the  stage  exit  to  the  dressing- 
rooms. 

He  is  a  slender  man  of  medium  stature, 
with  tousled  hair,  sagging  shoulders,  a 
head  drooping  in  apparent  contemplation 
of  the  platform  steps  up  which  he  is 
climbing.  He  looks  like  a  tired  school- 
teacher— until  you  catch  the  fire  in  his 
eyes ! 

He  steps  up  on  to  the  conductor's  stand 
before  the  orchestra  which  faces  the  au- 
diences. He  raises  his  baton.  Violins 
leap  to  chins,  brasses  and  woodwinds  to 
lips.  The  baton  swoops  down.  Music 
surges  through  the  studio — full,  strong, 
inspired. 

No  longer  is  he  a  meek  little  man.  He 
is  a  dynamo  of  energy.  His  body  darts 
to  the  right,  to  the  left;  his  arms  wave 
frenziedly.  His  long  hair  is  the  trium- 
phant plume  on  the  casque  of  a  dauntless 
soldier.  Where  is  the  quiet,  unassuming 
fellow  of  a  moment  ago  ?  Gone !  So  has 
gone  forever,  the  William  Merrigan  Daly, 
the  failure.  Here  is  the  man  who  has 
found  himself  and  the  genius  that  so  long 
lay  slumbering  in  him. 


William  Merrigan  Daly  can  be  heard

The  Object  of  His  Affection 


(Continued  from  page  31) 


i  their  eyes  as  they  gazed  at  each  other. 

hat  was  the  first  time  Frank  and 
t  othy  Martin  had  met  in  several  years. 
<M  in  the  intervening  time  undoubtedly 
b'i  had  changed.  Dorothy,  for  instance, 
h.  loved  a  man  and  married  him.  And 
n  •  that  marriage  was  over.  Frank,  or 
I  iss  my  guess,  had  loved  a  dozen  girls. 
5"  had  come  from  the  theatre  to  radio.  He 
n:  given  a  year  and  a  half  to  serious 

had  to  study,"  he  told  me.  "Previous 
Kny  lessons,  like  anyone  born  with  the 
aI  iratus  of  a  voice,  I  could  sing  well 
a  igh  when  I  was  happy,  when  I  felt 
hi  singing.  But  you  can't  earn  a  living 
tn  way.  My  teachers  taught  me  how 
toinake  my  voice  obey  my  will,  how  to 
s>1  well  even  when  I  didn't  feel  like  it." 


What  is  even  more  amazing  about  this 
meeting  is  that  Frank  and  Dorothy  never 
had  been  close  friends.  They  had  played 
together  on  Broadway  in  "No  Other  Girl." 
Had  known  each  other  only  casually. 
Dorothy  had  done  a  specialty  number  in 
this  show  while  Frank,  a  new  recruit  in 
the  theatre,  had  been  in  the  chorus. 

Meeting,  however,  it  was  as  if  they 
had  said  goodbye  to  each  other  only  the 
day  before.  It  was  as  if  they  had  been 
waiting,  marking  time  all  through  the 
years,  until  they  should  meet  again. 

"I  don't  pretend  to  understand  it,"  Frank 
will  tell  you.  "I  only  know  how  it  was. 
There  was  a  bond.  I've  known  other 
people  for  years,  seen  them  almost  every 
day,  and  never  felt  so  close  to  them.

"When  such  a  bond  exists  it  is  beyond 
eason,  beyond  understanding.  It  needn't 
lave  anything  to  do  with  love.    It  comes 

0  two  men  sometimes.  To  two  women 
ometimes.   And  sometimes  to  a  man  and 

girl.  But  certainly  this  is  true,  only 
hose  who  have  experienced  such  a  bond 
an  grasp  the  depth  of  understanding  and 
ympathy  you  seek  to  label  thus. 

It's  not  surprising  that  Dorothy  waited 
or  Frank  that  day.  I  doubt  if  anything 
ess  than  dynamite  could  have  removed 
er  from  her  post  behind  the  receptionist's 
esk.  For  he's  a  man  to  intrigue  a  girl. 

When  he  turns  serious,  as  he  must  have 
^hen  he  returned  to  urge  Dorothy  to 
.•ait,  he  brings  the  smiling  corners  of  his 
,ide  mouth  down  into  a  firm  line.  But  it 
•nly  makes  him  more  attractive. 

;RANK,  you  see  has  not  always  led  a 
secure  and  sheltered  existence.  In  the 
pwer  East  Side  home  in  which  he  spent 
;is  childhood,  living  may  not  have  been  a 
truggle  but  it  was  a  problem.  And  if  on 
undays  Frank  wore  the  skirts  and  laces 
if  a  choir-boy,  intoning  musical  Latin 
hrascs  of  supplication  and  praise  and 
elping  the  priest  celebrate  mass,  he  wasn't 
Ivvays  docile.  No,  indeed!  He  used  to 
lesert  the  fellows  on  his  own  block  and 
I'alk  a  considerable  distance,  besides  risk- 
Ug  a  sound  whipping,  to  join  a  rowdy  gang 
ho  turned  the  afternoon  hours  after 
j:hool  into  a  series  of  hazardous  adven- 
|  ires. 

Frank  finds  life  exciting.  And  that 
lakes  him  exciting.  He  finds  it  amusing, 
>o.  Which  makes  him  a  gay  companion, 
'rom  his  Italian  mother  he  inherits  a 
larm  sensitivity.  From  his  English  father 
n  attractive  reserve  which  serves  him 
ell. 

That  day  in  Chicago  he  didn't  keep 
Dorothy  Martin  waiting  one  minute  longer 
lan  was  absolutely  necessary.  Immedi- 
,  ely  the  rehearsal  was  over  he  rushed  out 

stand  before  her  desk  again. 

That  summer  the  sky  all  over  Chicago 

1  as  mistily  gold  from  the  brilliance  of 
,ie  lights  at  the  Fair.  And  in  the  Fair 
■ounds  there  was  music  in  the  air.  The 
usic  of  a  dozen  bands  and  twice  as  many 
•chestras.  Harlequins  danced  along  the 
sreets.  Bits  of  one  foreign  land,  created 
.ernight  of  laths  and  shingles  and  plaster 

Paris,  nudged  bits  of  another  land.  In 
I eir  native  state,  jogging  along  in  rick- 
Maws  pulled  by  college-boy  coolies,  pros- 
jjrous  Illinois   farmers  and  their  wives 
lagined  themselves  in  Japan. 
;  Everywhere   there   was   the   magic  of 
wentieth  Century  progress.  However,  if 
pu  found  a  secluded  little  table,  in  the 
elgian   Village,    say,   where   the  lights 
idn't   penetrate   and   the   waiter  wasn't 
liquitous,   you    found   another   kind  of 
agic,  a  magic  as  old  as  the  world  and 
modern  as  a  new  year.    Especially  if 
tween  you  there  was  a  bond.    The  way 
ere  was  between  Frank  and  Dorothy. 
Their  hands  met  across  the  table.  And 
eir  eyes  meeting,  although  their  minds 
hind  them  willed  them  for  once  to  be 
lm,  clung  and  clung  and  clung.  And 
en    happiness    skyrocketing    from  full 
arts  filled  them  with  stars. 
Heretofore  Frank  had  done  well  enough 
i  the  air.    But  now  letters  began  to  pour 
•    By  the  hundreds.    Bv  the  thousands. 


from  page  99) 

All  of  which  proves  again,  plainly  enough, 
that  there  is  no  voice  which  won't  be 
richer  and  warmer  and  more  provocative 
for  a  little  more  heart. 

TDK  following  winter  found  both  Doro- 
thy and  Frank  in  New  York.  Frank- 
broadcasted  from  the  studios  in  Radio 
City.  Dorothy  was  with  her  family.  The 
nights  Frank  was  free  they  went  places 
together.  To  dinner.  Or  to  the  movies. 
Or  the  theatre.  Sometimes  they  danced. 
And  sometimes  they  went  up  to  the  Ar- 
mory where  Frank  played  polo. 

It  was  Frank's  interest  in  horses  which 
brought  him  to  polo  and  the  string  of  Ar- 
gentine ponies  which  are  his  extravagance. 
When  he  was  with  the  National  Guard  he 
was  a  driver  in  the  Field  Artillery.  One 
of  the  horses  he  drove  was  blind,  the 
other  old  and  no  prize  as  far  as  horse- 
flesh goes.  But  through  these  horses  Frank 
grew  to  admire  and  love  other  horses. 

"They're  so  intelligent,''  he  says  enthu- 
siastically, "so  keen.  In  polo  they  take 
brutal  punishment  without  flinching.  They 
couldn't  do  it  if  they  didn't  have  spirit,  if 
they  didn't  have  heart.  And  lots  of  it. 
During  a  game  they  sense  what  has  to  be 
done  and  it  is  their  one  aim  to  accom- 
plish this  at  any  price." 

At  the  Armory,  every  night  Frank  plays, 
you'll  see  Dorothy  sitting  on  the  sidelines. 
Holding  her  breath  at  the  things  he  does, 
at  the  way  he  rides,  at  the  mad  reckless- 
ness with  which  he  plunges  into  the  thick 
of  it.  And  why  not?  Doesn't  her  life  as 
well  as  his  hang  in  the  balance? 

However,  when  the  game  is  ended  and 
he  comes  striding  over  to  her,  his  helmet 
pushed  back  on  his  fine,  dark  head,  his 
eyes  flashing  with  pride  and  excitement, 
she  doesn't  scold  or  caution  him.  She 
simply  sits  there,  quiet  and  smiling,  and 
gives  him  both  her  small,  soft  hands.  She 
is  wiser  than  many  women  who  try  to 
temper  the  adventuresome  men  they  love. 
To  lose  them  one  way  or  another. 

Not  that  Dorothy  Martin  always  holds 
her  tongue.  Frank  will  tell  you  that  she 
gives  him  plenty  of  advice  and  that  he 
finds  all  of  it  invaluable. 

"She's  lucky  for  me,"  he  says,  grinning, 
looking  about  eighteen  years  old.  "Be- 
sides, better  than  I,  she  seems  able  to  see 
where  my  interests  lie.  I  wouldn't  move. 
I  wouldn't  sign  anything  until  I  had  talked 
it  over  with  her  first." 

He  frowned  a  little.  "People  say  we're 
married,"  he  complained.  "That  is  not  | 
true.  They  don't  understand,  the  people 
who  say  that.  They  don't  know  how  it  is 
between  us.  They've  never  known  the 
same  kind  of  a  bond." 

That  bond  he  talks  about  ...  It  can 
exist  between  two  men.  Or  between  two 
women.  It  doesn't  necessarily  have  to  do 
with  love.  I  grant  you  that.  But  when 
it  comes  to  a  man  and  a  girl,  and  whet-, 
the  man  thinks  that  girl  is  lucky  for  him 
and  beams  when  she  offers  advice,  then — 

I  leave  it  to  you — it  must  be  tovel

It  takes  more  than  "just  a  salve  "  to  druw 
it  out.  It  takes  a  "counter-irritant".'  And 
that's  what  good  old  Musterole  is  —  sooth- 
ing, warming,  penetrating  and  helpful  in 
drawing  out  the  pain  and  congestion  when 
rubbed  on  the  sore,  aching  spots. 

Muscular  lumbago,  soreness  and  stiffness 
generally  yield  promptly  to  this  treatment, 
and  with  continued  application,  blessed 
relief  usually  follows. 

Even  better  results  than  the  old-fashioned 
mustard  plaster.  Used  by  millions  for  25 
years.  Recommended  by  many  doctors  and 
nurses.  All  druggists.  In  three  strengths: 
Regular  Strength,  Children's  (mild),  and 
Extra  Strong,  40e  each.

BEAUTY 
SECRETS 


Rosemary  and  Pricilla  Lane, 
beautiful  young  sisters,  who 
are   stellar   soloists   in  Fred 
Waring's  versatile  band. 


Every  woman  is  on  a  constant 
search  for  beauty.  Some  succeed 
in  learning  the  secret  of  beauty, 
while  others  fail.  Some  women 
succeed  in  being  partly  beautiful 
and  as  a  result  they  become 
careless  about  some  detail,  some 
little  detail  which  will  eventually 
mar  their  success. 
You  do  not  have  to  be  born 
beautiful  to  be  charming.  In  the 
days  of  your  grandmother,  a 
woman  was  compelled  to  remain 
very  much  as  she  was.  Today 
beauty  and  charm  are  achieved 
by  women  who  realize  that  their 
success  in  life  depends  upon  the 
acquirement  of  these  qualities. 
Some  of  the  most  glamorous  per- 
sonalities of  the  radio  have  ac- 
quired their  glamor  by  carefully 
analyzing  their  own  personality 
and  beauty  possibilities  ...  by 
subduing  defects  and  by  empha- 
sis r.g  their  good  points. 
This  month  Mary  Biddle  tells  you 
how  to  be  beautiful.  In  addition 
to  the  complete  article  you  will 
find  in  this  issue,  she  will  send 
you  personal  beauty  advice  if 
you  will  send  in  the  coupon  to  be 
found  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
article.

You  Gotta  Trust  Somebody 


(Continued  from  page  6) 


critic  is  Mary  Livingstone  who  does  the 
iumb  daisy  on  Jack  Benny's  program.  In 
private  life  she  is  Mrs.  Jack  Benny.  She 
joesn't  say  anything  about  Jack's  art.  In 
:his  she  is  like  the  rest  of  us  in  thinking 
lim  a  grand  performer.  Her  job  is  keep- 
ng  him  from  making  mistakes  in  business 
for  Jack  knows  little  and  cares  less  about 
noney. 

Once  long  ago  an  agent  for  the  Palace 
n  New  York  offered  Jack  a  billing.  Jack, 
vithout  asking  how  much,  was  about  to 
ay  "yes"  when  cup  came  the  old  wifely 
ludge.  "Ask  him  how  much  he  will  pay," 
vliispered  Mary.  He  did.  Zup,  went  the 
lbow.  "Ask  twice  as  much,"  said  Mary, 
'ie  did.  The  agent  said  "no,"  and  de- 
larted. 

[  Left  alone  Jack  lost  his  temper,  raged, 
bre  telephone  books  into  confetti.  And 
len  the  phone  rang.  It  was  the  Palace, 
aying  that  the  management  had  reconsid- 
red  and  would  take  Jack  on  at  the  figure 
e  demanded. 

But  once  he  got  obstinate  and  insisted 
n  doing  a  movie  over  the  wifely  veto.  He 
as  a  flop.  He  learned  his  lesson  from 
tat.  Now  he  takes  no  business  step  with- 
ut  her. 

Mary  in  turn  has  those  to  whom  she 
in  turn  for  true  talk  about  herself.  Sun- 
ay  evening  when  the  broadcast  is  over, 
lere  is  sure  to  be  a  telegram  from  Cali- 
irnia,  from  her  sister,  giving  a  detailed 
'action  to  her  performance.  Sometimes 
ley  talk  it  over  on  the  long-distance  tele- 
lone. 

Eddie  Cantor  locks  himself  in  a  booth 
hen  the  broadcast  is  over  and  asks  none 
her  than  Margie,  aged  eighteen,  his  oldest 
mghter.  Young  enough  to  respond  as  a 
lild,  wise  enough  to  understand  as  an 
4ult,  Margie  tells  him  if  and  where 
;■  fell  down,  discusses  the  work  of  the 
her  members  of  the  company,  and  gives 
►  >m  a  summary  of  her  general  reaction  to 
e  performance. 

You'd  never  think  it  of  Portland  Hoffa 
■  lit  she  is  probably  the  severest  critic  of 
!em  all.    For  which  reason,  no  doubt, 

ed  Allen,  her  husband,  treasures  the 
femory  of  the  evening  on  which  she  com- 
i  merited  him  in  the  presence  of  the  en- 

e  company. 

(Portland  has  a  bit  at  the  beginning  of 
p  Town  Hall  show  and  when  it  is  over, 
[e  slips  out  and  goes  into  the  control 
bin  to  listen.   On  the  evening  of  our  little 

e  Fred  was  doing  a  skit  in  which  he 
»*s  captain  of  a  ship.    Accidents  will  hap- 

'l  and  this  night  a  musician  dropped  his 
•nbals.  They  fell  with  with  an  awful 
'  tter  to  the  floor. 

'Who  dropped  that  funnel?"'  cried  Fred 
io  the  mike,  quick  as  a  cat  can  wink  his 

Portland  kissed  him  after  the  show  tell- 
him  he  was  wonderful  in  saving  the 
s  lation  that  way. 
i'ou  al!   probably  know   the  story  of 
•ward   Barlow   who   went   on   the  air 
J  ling  so  ill  he  could  barely  lift  the  baton. 

the  average  listener  it  was  the  same 
'■ward  Barlow,  leading  an  orchestra  giv- 


ing it  high  grade  music.  Not  so  to  Mrs. 
Barlow,  who  was  listening  in  Denver.  She 
telegraphed  a  question :  '  Are  you  ill  ?"  To 
spare  her,  he  replied  :  "Feeling  swell,  how 
are  you?"  She  came  East  and  found  How- 
ard in  bed. 

Gladys  Swarthout  turns  to  her  husband, 
Frank  Chapman,  when  she  is  weary  of 
the  waves  of  raves  that  engulf  her  wher- 
ever she  goes.  And  Frank  reads  her  the 
affectionate  riot  act.  His  criticism  covers 
everything  from  clothes  to  cosmetics.  Re- 
cently, 'tis  said,  he  redesigned  the  collar 
of  her  coat  because  he  thought  the  one 
that  went  with  it,  although  made  by  a 
famous  designer,  was  not  becoming  to 
Gladys. 

Lanny  Ross  looks  to  his  mother,  Mrs. 
Douglas  Ross,  a  lady  who  was  a  pianist 
for  Pavlowa.  It  is  she  who  detects  signs 
of  swelling  of  the  head  and  knows  the  trick 
of  bringing  it  back  to  normal.  She  is  an 
important  item  in  the  life  of  this  young 
hero  of  radio. 

Another  Showboat  star  who's  gotta  have 
somebody  to  talk  to  is  Muriel  Wilson. 
Once  it  was  her  music  teacher  but  now  that 
he  is  dead,  she  talks  things  over  with  her 
parents.  Pa  and  ma  dote  on  Muriel  but  they 
are  strangers  when  the  Boat  is  on  the 
waves.  Her  partner,  Rosaline  Greene,  once 
crowned  radio's  most  perfect  voice,  talks 
it  over  with  her  two  elocution  professors. 
She  also  has  a  shut-in,  a  man  in  New  Eng- 
land, whom  she  has  never  seen,  who  tells 
her  via  U.  S.  mail  what  he  thinks  of  her 
broadcast. 

Mother  Lane  doesn't  risk  offending  her 
two  gifted  daughters.  She  pays  eight  dol- 
lars and  has  a  record  made  of  each  broad- 
cast. The  record  enables  them  to  criticize 
themselves.  And  they  listen  and  laugh — 
or  weep ! 

The  three  singing  Pickens  go  into  a  hud- 
dle with  their  mother  after  each  broad- 
cast. Grace,  who  also  does  the  arrange- 
ments and  the  orchestration,  asks  most 
questions. 

"Was  I  too  loud?"  she  asks.  "How  was 
the  blend?  .  .  .  How  was  the  solo?  .  .  . 
Did  I  stand  back  far  enough?  .  .  .  Tell 
us,  how  did  it  sound?" 

And  Mother  Patti  tells  them.  Some- 
times it  is  a  hickory  switch,  sometimes  a 
plate  of  cookies.  She  tells  them  if  they 
flatted,  if  they  lacked  in  enthusiasm,  when 
they  failed  to  come  in  together. 

Roxy  is  one  of  the  few  we  can  think 
of  who  is  impervious  to  criticsm  and  asks 
it  of  no  man.  Due  no  doubt  to  the  fact 
that  people  don't  rave  about  him — they 
call  him  names.  He  is  one  star  who  is  not 
glutted  with  "Yes." 

Which  reminds  us  of  the  story  of  the 
young  woman  who  called  up  the  studio 
and  wanted  to  know  if  the  operator  would 
take  a  message  to  Roxy. 

"Now  would  this  message  be  sure  to 
reach  Roxy?"  she  asked.  "Would  it  reach 
Roxy — the  same  Roxy  who  conducts  the 
radio  program  ?  And  would  it  be  given 
to  him  personally?  All  right  then.  My 
name  is  Beebe  Gunn.  This  is  the  mes-

From  a  Thousand  Fathoms  Deep 

The  Secret  Knowledge  of  a  Lost  Race 

Choked  into  stillness  by  the  rising  waters  were 
the  words  of  wisdom  of  a  vast  forgotten  peo- 
ple. Majestic  structures  once  stood  where  now 
is  naught  but  the  ocean's  roar.  By  what  mys- 
terious means  did  the  survivors  reach  Egypt's 
shore?  What  magnificent  wisdom  did  they  bring 
as  their  heritage? 

Before  death  sealed  their  lips  they  imparted 
to  secret  Brotherhoods  their  knowledge.  .  The 
Pyramid  stands  as  silent  testimony  to  their  great' 
ness.  There  began  the  schools  of  secret  wisdom ; 
the  traditions  of  this  knowledge  have  come  down 
the  ages  as  a  guide  for  those  who  seek  happiness 
and  mastery  of  life.  For  centuries  the  Rosicrucians 
have  searched  out  and  perpetuated  this  store 
of  fascinating  truths.

To  worthy  inquiries  a  sealed  book  is  loaned

off  for  leaving  the  duck  home  and  forget- 
ting the  "narsty  man." 

A  great  many  stars  used  to  write  to  an 
old  lady  who  laid  it  on  the  line  in  letters 
she  wrote  from  her  home  near  Buffalo. 
She  helped  them  immensely.  Last  year  she 
died  and  no  less  than  twenty-four  bouquets 
reached  the  unpainted  little  house  from 
her  regretful  correspondents. 

Fred  Waring  telephones  his  mother  at

husband. 

When  a  star  finds  somebody  who  will 
tell  them  the  truth  they  cling  to  that  per- 
son. They  have  found  from  experience 
that  the  best  way  to  go  high  and  stay  high 
is  to  get  the  low  down. 

Honest  criticism  is  essential  to  success.

WAS  wild  with  misery.    So  frantic,  so  hysterical, 
they  had  to  give  me  a  sedative  and  send  Hal 
away.    The  sedative  only  numbed  me,  sent  me  for  a  little 
while  into  a  fantastic  borderland  of  grief. 

Hours  later  I  awoke  to  the  strains  of  muted  music  in  the 
next  room.  Radio  music.  I  didn't  have  to  look  at  my  bed- 
side clock.  It  was  the  "Milk  o'  Roses"  hour.  Hal  was 
singing: 

".  .  .  just  Molly  and  me 
And  baby,  makes  three, 
In  my — blue — heaven." 

I  think  Hal's  voice  broke  on  the  last  sentimental  note.  I 
know  my  heart  did.  .  .  .

{Continued  from  pane  8) 


riding  high,  Frank  Luther  returned  to  the 
United  States  with  the  Revelers  and  sang 
at  the  Mirador.  His  contract  was  for  thirty 
thousand  dollars  a  year,  more  money  than 
he  had  ever  made  hefore  in  his  life.  He 
began  paying  off  the  debts  he  had  con- 
tracted in  the  lean  and  bitter  years;  he 
began  buying  a  few  luxuries  for  his  moth- 
er, whom  he  adores,  and  his  sisters. 

And  then,  suddenly,  unexpectedly,  cal- 
amity came!  It  seemed  like  such  a  simple 
thing,  at  first.  Frank  Luther,  working  too 
hard,  caught  a  cold.  The  cold  lingered  on, 
and  he  Couldn't  sing.  The  doctor  examined 
him,  shook  his  head  gravely.  "You  need 
complete  rest,"  he  said.  "I  don't  know 
whether  you'll  ever  be  able  to  sing  again. 
It  will  take  time  and  rest — complete  rest." 

Complete  rest?  Frank  was  dazed.  Why, 
the  man  must  be  mad !  How  can  you  sit 
still  and  do  nothing? 

Two  months  of  inactivity  .  .  .  Do  you 
know  what  it  means  to  a  man  like  Frank 
to  have  the  bread  taken  out  of  his  mouth 
and  to  be  told  that  he  must  sit  back  and 
do  nothing?  He  paced  up  and  down  his 
apartment  like  a  madman.  Sometimes  it 
seemed  that  if  something  didn't  happen 
soon,  he  would  go  mad.  He  went  to  the 
Revelers  and  begged  them  to  wait  till  he 
got  well.  But  they  couldn't  wait,  and  Jim- 
my Melton  went  on  in  the  spot  that  should 
have  been  Frank's. 

He  hadn't  a  nickel  saved  up.  He  was 
still  in  debt.  He  touched  bottom.  All  the 
confidence  ebbed  out  of  him.  The  salt  of 
life  had  lost  its  savor. 

"If  I  were  the  type  who  could  take  his 
own  life,  I  would  have  done  it  then," 
Frank  Luther  told  me,  his  dark  brown  eyes 
growing  almost  black  at  the  thought  of 
those  days  and  nights  of  agony.  "But  sud- 
denly I  realized  that  I  was  a  fool  if  I 
whimpered  now,  and  that  I  was  a  dolt  if  I 
asked  happiness  of  life.  I  was  here  to  live, 
not  to  be  happy." 

Do  you  want  to  know  what  he  did  then? 
He  went  out  to  Pittsburgh  and  got  a  job 
playing  the  piano  in  a  dinky  cafe.  Frank 
Luther,  to  whom  princes  and  dukes  had 
listened  in  awed  silence,  now  played  and 
sang  for  men  too  drunk  to  know  that  they 
were  hearing  a  golden  voice  gone  wrong. 

It  was  these  men  whom  he  now  had  to 
beg  for  nickels  and  quarters.  He,  a  nice 
wholesome  American  boy,  wrho  only  a  short 
time  before  had  held  a  contract  for  thirty 
thousand  dollars  within  his  grasp. 

In  the  end,  amid  these  sodden  people, 
he  found  his  voice  again,  and  with  his 
voice  he  found  something  else,  new-born 
confidence.  All  the  false  pride  and  cocki- 
ness had  been  knocked  out  of  him,  but 
after  he  had  touched  bottom  his  spirits 
soared  again. 

Back  to  New  York  once  more  he  came, 
asking  his  friends  if  they  knew  of  work 
that  he  could  do.  And,  because  he  be- 
lieved in  himself  again,  he  found  work. 
He  met  three  young  fellows  who  had  been 
in  vaudeville.  One  was  an  arranger  of 
music,  and  the  other  two  were  looking  for 
someone  to  make  up  a  trio.  And  so  Frank 
Luther,  Jack  Parker,  Phil  Duey  and  Will 


Donaldson  got  together  and  succeeded  i 
putting  over  the  program  you  still  hear  i 
the  Men  About  Town. 

Frank  Luther  has  always  lived  intense!; 
from  the  time  he  was  a  small  shaver  on 
cattle  ranch  in  western  Kansas.    When  t 
was  in  grammar  school  he  fell  in  love  witl 
a  blonde  and,  to  convince  her  of  his  ardor 
dipped  one  blonde  braid  into  his  inkwell 
The  blonde  was  furious  and  lived  to  grol 
up  and  marry  Frank's  brother!    She  still 
maintains  she  hates  him! 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  Frank  really  grel 
up  in  a  man's  world.  From  the  time  1 
was  four  years  old  his  father  used  to  tak 
him  to  various  state  fair-,  where  he  e>( 
hibited  cattle  and  sheep,  and  so,  from  bo)|  I 
hood,  Frank  learned  to  mingle  with  cattlcl 
men. 

When  he  was  but  fourteen  years  old  h  \ 
father  used  to  allow  him  to  travel  to  til 
state  fairs  alone  with  a  carload  of  cattllj 
and  there  the  boy  had  to  try  to  mat(|  | 
wits  with  men  who  yaw  him  no  (|uart<N 
because  of  his  tender  years.  In  his  deal 
ings  with  them,  he  learned  shrewdness  arl 
sharpness,  but  above  all  he  learned  to  li\  { 
by  a  man's  code.  I 

Living !  That's  his  battle-word,  hi 
torch.  Yes,  he  carries  a  torch  for  lifl 
Already  he  has  met  the  Grim  Reaper  arl 
foiled  him,  and  I  think  that  if  ever  til 
time  conies  when  death  stands  by  his  cfl 
bow,  Frank  Luther  will  put  up  a  wortljl 
battle. 

But  let  me  tell  you  about  the  time  ll 
almost  met  death.  He  was  sixteen  yeal 
old,  and  was  coming  back  alone  fro| 
Denver,  where  he  had  exhibited  at  a  liv 
stock  show.  Around  dawn  he  got  tired  < 
resting  in  the  caboose  and  decided  to  wa 
over  the  top  of  the  freight  train  to  s 
how  his  herd  of  cattle  was  doing.  I- 
started  to  go  down  over  the  end  of  the  br 
car,  but  the  train  was  going  fast,  and 
fell  between  two  cars. 

He  heard  the  screaming  of  steel  \vhe( 
waiting  to  grind  him  into  bits.  With 
heroic  effort  he  grabbed  hold  of  the  bral 
rod.    Holding  on  to  that,  he  managed 
save  himself. 

Two  hoboes  who  had  seen  him  fall  star 
in  wonder  as  he  crawded  back.    For  th'" 
had  thought  they  had  seen  him  fall  to  \ 
death. 

A  fewr  years  later  Frank's  father  lc 
all  his  money,  and  just  when  he  was  tr 
ing  to  stage  a  come-back,  he  died  in 
burning  hotel.  And  then  the  spur  of  r 
sponsibility  pricked  Frank.  "I  can't  fa; 
I  mustn't  fail,"  he  told  himself,  thinkil 
of  his  mother  and  his  sisters.  "I  must  ta 
my  father's  place  with  them." 

Since  that  time  he  has  never  falten 
never  made  excuses  for  himself,  nev 
loafed  on  the  job.  On  and  on  he  h 
gone,  driving  himself  relentlessly.  He  h 
been  a  minister,  a  newspaperman,  a  sing 
at  evangelistic  meetings,  and  heaven  or, 
knows  what  else.  And  out  of  it  all  h 
come  not  happiness  but  rich  and  glorii 
experience  in  living  and  friendships  w 
diverse  people,  from  the  country's  leadi 
hobo  to  men  of   world-wide  fame.  II

;Even  when  it  came  to  marriage,  I  doubt 
Frank  Luther  was  thinking  only  of  hap- 

ness.  Because,  if  he  had  been,  he  might 
sily  have  married  some  blue-eyed  blonde 

ttle  baby  doll  who  would  say  "Yes"  to 


him  unquestioningly  the  rest  of  her  life. 

Zora  Layman,  the  lovely  person  who  is 
his  wife,  is  blue-eyed  and  dainty  and  femi- 
nine, but  she's  no  jellyfish.  She,  too,  is 
working  at  a  career  and  has  made  some 
beautiful  phonograph  recordings.  Now  you 
know  and  I  know  and  I  bet  Frank  knows 
that  two  careers  in  the  same  household 
have  broken  up  many  marriages,  but  in- 
stead of  seeking  happiness  by  telling  his 
wife  not  to  work,  he  has  encouraged  her. 
He  has  taught  her  the  secret  he  himself 
learned  so  painfully :  that  life  is  wasted 
on  those  who  are  not  willing  to  live.

HERE  ARE  THE  ANSWERS 

What  Does  Bing  Brgylftn  Slortfbwg  Blart  Flooh? 


Joan  Kay,  heard 
over  networks 
from  Chicago. 


nOX'T  cheer,  boys 
^  and  girls.  Sure 
Uncle  Answer  Man's 
out  of  jail,  but  some- 
one said  he  ought  to 
have  his  head  ex- 
amined and  so  here 
he  is,  surrounded  by 
those  eminent  psy- 
chiatrists, Dr.  Dormaus  of  Vienna  and  Dr. 
Whoopy  of  Weehawken,  New  Jersey. 

If,  instead  of  howling  constantly  to  read- 
ers about  his  being  able  to  consider  but 
two  questions  per  person  per  month,  or  not 
answering  any  questions  personally  per 
person  per  month,  or  not  sending  any  pho- 
tographs per — anyway,  if  the  A.  M.  had 
told  some  of  his  friends  not  to  scrawl  their 
questions  so  hastily  that  they  read,  "What 
does  Bing  brgylftn  slortfbwg  blart  flooh?" 
he  might  not  be  accused  of  having  curds 
and  whey  where  his  brains  ought  to  be. 

Anyhow,  sit  in  with  the  doctors  while 
they  ascertain  the  Answer  Man's  mental 
competence.  Then  if  you  think  he's  all 
right  above  his  big,  handsome  ears,  send 
in  your  questions. 

Go  ahead!  Ask  him!  He'll  tell  you 
a  thing  or  two! 

Now  for  the  Doctors. 

Dr.  D. :  Now  Uncle,  we  are  going  to 
test  your  powers  of  observation.  We  won- 
der, for  instance,  if  you've  ever  noticed 
the  physical  characteristics  of  Priscilla 
Lane. 

Unk:  Have  I?  Boy,  oh  boy!  Have  I? 
Lovely  figure.  Five  feet  two  inches  tall, 
weighs  108  pounds,  has  blonde  hair,  blue 
eyes.  She's  the  sister  of  Lola  and  Leota 
Lane  of  the  films.  She  was  born  June 
12,  1917.  She  made  her  radio  debut 
with  Fred  Waring's  troupe  February 
8,  1933.  She  likes  to  swim,  make  corn- 
starch pudding,  ride  horseback  and  to  say 
"I'll  say,  kid!"  Her  nickname  is  Pat.  .  .  . 

Dr.  W. :  Pat  him  on  the  head  with 
the  inkstand,  Dr.  Dormaus.  He  can't 
concentrate.  Let's  see  if  we  can  get 
him  to  give  some  comprehensive  facts 
on  Kenny  Sargent  and  Pewee  Hunt  of 
Glen  Gray's  orchestra. 

Unk:  Pooh!  Easy.  Kenny  is  de- 
scribed as  dark  and  suave,  but  shy.  Tell 
the  girls  not  to  be  too  hasty — he's  married 
to  Dorothy  Morelock  of  Memphis,  Ten- 
nessee,  whom  he  met   in   1928.   Oh,  all 

108 


right,  if  you  still  must  have  details,  he 
has  brown  eyes  and  black  hair,  is  five 
feet  eleven  inches  tall  and  weighs  160 
pounds.  He's  twenty-nine,  which  makes 
his  years  of  trouping  about  with  orches- 
tras number  about  eleven.  He  finally 
wound  up  with  Glen  Gray's  band  in 
May,  1931.  And  is  he  the  old  fashion 
plate?  They  do  say,  that  when  Glen 
Gray's  orchestra  is  playing  in  a  night 
club  or  roadhouse,  Kenny  insists  on 
changing  his  shirt  and  collar  every  other 
dance.    Now  who  can't  concentrate? 

Dr.  D.:  See,  Dr.  Whoopy?  He's  nuts. 
Forgot  all  about  Pewee  Hunt. 

Unk:  Who's  nuts?  Gimme  a  chance, 
wilya?  Now  this  little  Pewee  guy  is 
only  six  feet  tall,  and  has  wasted  away 
to  a  little  over  200  pounds.  Tsk!  Tsk! 
When  his  larynx  isn't  working  over  that 
baritone  of  his,  his  tiny  hot  fist  slips 
a  trombone  slide  back  and  forth.  He 
was  born,  of  all  places,  in  Mt.  Healthy, 
Ohio,  in  1907,  and  weighed,  very  ap- 
propriately, twelve  pounds  at  birth.  But 
then,  so  did  Priscilla  Lane.  His  real 
name  is  Walter  C.  Hunt.  He  studied 
at  Ohio  State  College  to  be  a  scientist 
and  turned  out  to  be  a  vacuum  cleaner, 
salesman,  buyer  and  seller  of  radio  sets 
and  banjo  player  in  an  orchestra.  He 
joined  Jean  Goldkette's  orchestra  in  1928 
and  the  Glen  Gray  outfit  in  1928.  Yah, 
he's  married.  But  he  still  has  a  sense  of 
humor.  He's  the  funster  of  the  band. 
Regular  card,  he  is. 

Dr.  W. :  Well  you're  not,  addle-pate. 
Aren't  you  the  guy  what  said  Cheerio 
uses  recordings  instead  of  real  live,  no 
kidding  canaries? 

Unk:  Sure,  but  if  the  guy  at  the  net- 
work told  me  so.  what's  a  fellow  going 
to  do?  Some  assert  that  he  did  use  re- 
cordings for  a  time,  but  be  that  as  it 
may,  he's  using  real  birds  now.  They're 
named  Dickie  and  Blue  Boy,  but  sad 
to  say,  they  are  not  the  original  D.  and

sweet  Unkie-Wunkie.  Now  tell  us  abot 
this  new  Captain  Henry  of  "Showboat 
Also  what's  happened  to  Charley  Wir 
ninger,  the  old  Captain  Henry? 

Unk:  This  new  Captain  Henry 
named  Frank  Mclntyre.  He  was  bor 
in  Ann  Arbor,  Michigan,  Februar 
25th,  1881.  He's  five  feet  eleven  inchc 
tall,  weighs  275  pounds  and  has  fai 
complexion  and  hair.  This  jolly  fe 
low  has  been  on  the  stage  for  year 
Curiously  enough,  a  year  or  so  ago, 
remarked  that  his  favorite  program  wa 
"Showboat"  with  Charles  Winninge 
as  Captain  Henry.  And  now  here 
is,  the  skipper  himself!  He  thinks  ca 
playing  is  a  waste  of  time  and  mak 
you  fat.  Since  he  weighs  only  275  hir 
self  and  loves  Yorkshire  pudding,  yc 
can  see  the  logic  of  this  argument.  No 
as  to  Charley  Winninger.  He's  st 
starring  in  New  York  in  "Revenge  Wit 
Music,"  the  musical  comedy.  Last 
heard,  he  was  having  auditions  for 
new  program.  Maybe  by  the  time  th: 
gets  to  the  readers  he  will  have  one. 

Dr.  D.:  Hm!  Not  bad.  Maybe  yo 
haven't  any  bats  in  your  belfry. 
Mary  Lou  Rosaline  Greene  or  Murii 
Wilson  and  were  either  ever  in  lov 
with  Lanny? 

Unk:  Oooooh!  Take  it  away.  I  can 
stand  that  again?  Mary  Lou  is  Lanr 
.  .  .  I  mean  Captain  Henry  is  Mary.  . 

Dr.  W.    It  is  certain  that  Unkie

So  away  with  him  to  the  padded  cell. 

Note:  The  editor  is  going  to  smugg

FOR  LIPS  AND  CHEEKS 

A  NEW  KIND  OF  LIPSTICK  ...  A  NEW  KIND  OF  DRY  ROUGE 
WORK  MIRACLES  IN  RED 

Maddening  hues,  yes!  Colors  that  thrill,  taunt  and  tempt!  Truly  enough 
(and  you'll  know  it  the  instant  you  try  them)  such  rapturous,  wicked  reds 
have  never  been  used  in  lipstick  or  rouge  before.  But  there's  more  reason 
than  that  for  the  soul-stirring  madness  so  generously  imparted  by  SAVAGE 
Lipstick  and  the  new  SAVAGE  Rouge. 

SAVAGE  Lipstick  works  differently  from  ordinary  lipstick.  Its  gorgeous 
color  separates  from  the  cosmetic  after  application  to  become  an  actual 
part  of  the  skin.  Wipe  the  cosmetic  away  and  see  your  lips  teasingly, 
savagely  red  .  .  .  but  without  the  usual  discouraging  pastiness.  Imagine  a 
lipstick  like  that!  Better  yet,  experience  its  magic  on  your  own  lips.  One 
or  more  of  the  four  luscious  SAVAGE  shades  is  sure  to  be  exactly  yours. 

SAVAGE  Rouge  ...  an  utterly  new  kind  of  dry  rouge  ...  so  much  finer 
in  texture  than  any  other  that  it  blends  right  into  the  skin  itself  ...  to 
stay,  with  full  color  intensity,  throughout  the  exciting  hours  it  invites, 
instead  of  quickly  fading  away  as  ordinary  rouge  does.  You'll  love  it,  and 
the  shades  are  identical  to  those  of  SAVAGE  Lipstick  so  that  your  cheeks 
and  lips  will  be  a  thrilling,  perfect  symphony  of  maddening,  meaningful  red. 

Then  .  . .  SAVAGE  Face  Powder 

And  what  a  different  face  powder  this  is;  so  fine,  soft,  smooth  and 
so  surprisingly  different  in  the  results  it  gives.    Apply  it.  and  it  seems 
to  vanish  .  .  .  but  the  skin-shine,  too,  has  gone.  Imagine  it!  Everything 
you  want  from  powder,  but  no  "powdered"  look;  just  caressing  soft 
smoothness  that  is  a  feast  for  eyes  and  a  tingle  for  finger  tips  it  makes 
so  eager.  Four  lovely  shades.

METHOD  USED   WITH   SUCCESS   BY   30,000,000  FORMER   CORN  SUFFERERS 


(1)  No  one  but  acorn 
sufferer  can  know  how 
much  a  corn  really 
hurts! 

No  wonder  people 
with  corns  try  many 
ways  to  end  them.  Some 
even  use  ra/!or  blades — 
little  knowing  the  dan- 
ger! Others  use  new, 
untried  and  unscientific 
methods.  Both  of  these 
risks  are  unnecessary 
...  for  Blue-Jay  offers 
\  a  safe,  scientific  method 
*    ofendingcorn  suffering. 


^1 


(2)   WHY    A    CORN  HURTS 

Perhaps  you  have  wondered  why  such  a  small 
thing  as  a  corn  can  cause  such  excruciating  pain. 
A  corn  is  shaped  like  a  cone,  with  the  small  end 
pointing  into  the  toe.  This  inverted  cone,  under 
pressure  from  the  shoe,  presses  against  sensitive 
nerves,  which  carry  pain  sensations  to  the  brain 
and  nervous  system.  That  is  why  the  corn  seems 
to  hurt  "all  over." 


(3)  But  there  is  no  need  to  go  on  suffering  corn 
pain  at  all.  This  safe,  easy,  Blue-Jay  method  has 
ended  corn  suffering  for  millions  of  people  during 
the  past  15  years.  It  will  end  corn  suffering  just  as 
surely  for  you.  Made  by  Bauer  &  Black,  world- 
famous  surgical  dressing  manufacturer. 

No  muss  or  bother  when  you  use  Blue-Jay. 
It's  as  simple  as  A,  B,  C.  First,  you  soak  the  loot 
for  ten  minutes  in  hot  water,  then  wipe  it  dry. 


Read  these  typical  letters 
from  BLUE-JAY  users! 


(4)  Then,  apply  a  Blue-Jay  Corn  Remover, 
centering  the  pad  directly  over  the  corn.  The 
soft,  snug  fitting  pad  stops  the  pain  instantly 
by  removing  shoe  pressure.  Does  not  show 
under  the  smartest  shoes.  Wet-Pruf  adhesive 
strip  holds  the  pad  exactly  in  place  .  .  .  allows 
free  bathing  .  .  .  does  not  chafe  the  stocking. 
You  walk  in  comfort .  .  .  forget  you  have  a  corn. 


(5)  In  the  meantime,  the  mild,  gentle  Blue-Jay 
medication  is  slowly  undermining  the  corn  with- 
out your  knowing  it.  At  the  end  of  three  days  take 
off  the  plaster,  soak  the  foot  again  in  hot  water, 
and  the  entire  corn  lifts  right  out.  (Old,  tough 
corns  may  need  a  second  application — Blue-Jay, 
though  sure-fire,  is  mild  in  its  action.)

1       the  most  ef- 
fective  corn 

1 — ™  1   plaster  I 

have  ever  used."  writes 
Mrs.  Clara  Werner,  Min- 
yteapolts.  "It  will  remove 
a  corn  for  me  in  three 
days,  without  the  least 
pain  or  discomfort.  1  am 
a  nurse  and  on  my  feet 
most  of  the  time,  so  it  is 
very  important  to  have 
well  feet.  I  recommend 
it  to  all  nurses." 


Every  drug  store  sells  BLUE-JAY  •  It  is  the  most  popular  corn  remover 
because  the  millions  of  corn  sufferers  who  have  used  it  have  recommended  it  to 
their  friends.  Doctors  and  nurses  often  write  in  to  say  that  they  use  Blue-Jay  them- 
selves because  it  is  so  safe  and  so  easy.  No  muss  or  bother.  Blue-Jay  goes  on  in 
an  instant  .  .  .  and  that  very  instant  the  pain  stops.  In  3  days  the  corn  is  gone. 

If  you  are  one  who  has  risked  the  danger  of  infection  by  cut- 
ting corns  or  using  unscientific  methods,  just  use  Blue-Jay  once. 
You,  too,  will  be  convinced. 

Blue-Jay  costs  but  25c  a  package.  (Special  sizes  for  bunions 
and  calluses.)

have  the  inclination  to 
lean  over  and  whisper, 
'Why  don't  you  use  Blue-

from  that  'suffering  sis-

for  treatment  of  a  corn 
arose." — Myra  CUne.

WOULD  $500  n  WEEK 
SOTISFV  VOU? 


TEN  TO  ONE  you  would!  It's 
a  lot  of  money.  But  there's  a 
catch  to  it.  .  .  .  Would  you  be 
satisfied  with  five  hundred  dol- 
lars a  week  and  oblivion,  or  a 
chance  at  really  big  stakes  and 
stardom  ?  That's  the  problem 
every  orchestra  arranger  has  to 
solve  sooner  or  later. 

I'm  talking  about  the  lads 
who  style  the  tunes  you  hear 
every  night,  dressing  them  up  so 
that  orchestras  do  not  all  sound 
alike.  Paul  Whiteman  used  to 
spend  fifty  thousand  dollars  a 
year  on  arrangements  alone.  His 
chief  arranger  now,  Adolph 
Deutsch,  pulls  down  five  hundred 
dollars  a  week. 

Adolph  Deutsch  is  top  man  in 
his  field.  But  you  seldom  hear  of 
the  arranger.  The  music  scriven- 
er remains  a  ghost  writer  all  his 
life,  unless  he  decides  to  shake 
a  stick  instead  of  a  pen.  It's  a 
move  that  brings  with  it  plenty 


of  headaches  and  heartaches. 
Which  is  why  most  arrangers 
are  content  to  sit  in  their  ob- 
scure corners.  Only  a  bare  hand- 
ful succeed  in  stepping  out  of 
the  ranks  of  the  forgotten  man 
to  fame,  and  you'd  be  surprised 
how  often  some  little  trivial 
thing  turns  the  trick. 

Take  the  case  of  Freddie  Rich. 
If  it  hadn't  been  for  the  cyclonic 
Eva  Tanguay,  he  might  still  be 
sprawling  notes  on  paper,  ab- 
solutely incognito. 

Eva  happened  to  be  on  the 
same  bill  at  the  theatre  where 
Freddie  appeared  as  arranger 
and  pianist  with  the  Frisco  Jazz 
Band.  Hearing  him  at  the  piano 
one  day  she  asked  him  to  make 
some  orchestral  arrangements  of 
her  songs,  including  her  big 
number,  "I  Don't  Care."  Result. 
Freddie  left  the  jazz  outfit  and 
went  with  Eva  as  arranger  and 
pianist.  {Continued  on  page  58)

That  hideous  feeling  of  panic 
—  now  ended  by  the  new 

"CERTAIN-SAFE"  MODESS 


Here's  news!  REAL  NEWS! 
.  .  .  more  startling  than  the  invention 
that  made  sanitary  napkins  disposable. 
.  .  .  more  important  than  the  improve- 
ments that  have  made  napkins  soft  and 
comfortable. 

Now — at  last  —  comes  a  napkin  that 
gives  complete  protection  from  embar- 
rassing ''accidents!" 

It  is  the  new  "Certain-Safe"  Modess — 
onlv  recently  perfected  in  the  Modess 
research  laboratories. 

The  secret?  It  lies  in  a  combination 
of  THREE  special  features.  Two  of  these 
features  may  sometimes  be  found  in 
other  brands  of  napkins.  But  the  third 
is  absolutely  new — and  exclusive  with 


Modess.  It  is  the  combination  of  all  three 
features  that  gives  complete  protection. 

Test  this  three-way  protection! 

Just  do  this.  Get  a  box  of  the  new  ''Cer- 
tain-Safe"  Modess.  (You  won't  risk  a 
pennv  .  .  .  see  Money  Back  guarantee 
below.)  Read  the  printed  slip  that  you'll 
find  in  the  box.  Look  at  the  diagrams 
shown  on  the  slip  and  compare  them 
with  the  napkin  itself.  See  and  feel  the 
three  new  features  that  bring  you  de- 
pendable protection  against  (1)  striking 
through;  (2)  tearing  away;  (3)  incom- 
plete absorption. 

Then  wear  the  new  Modess!  You'll 
never  again  feel  safe  or  satisfied  with 
any  other  napkin ! 


YOUR   MONEY  BACK   IF  YOU'RE   NOT  CONVINCED! 


Here's  a  challenge!  We'll  refund  your  money  if  you 
try  the  new  Modess  and  don't  like  it!  Get  a  box.  W  ear 
as  many  napkins  as  you  need  to  make  a  thorough  test. 
If  you  aren't  completely  satisfied,  return  the  box  and 
the  remaining  napkins  to  The  Modess  Corporation.  50 »

CHANCES  ARE  that  everyone 
who  reads  this  column  has  his  or  her 
favorite  dance  hand  and  all  the  net-

have  variety  on  the  air. 

But  when  we  come  to  make  some 
feeble  effort  to  place  a  value  on 
dance  hands,  we  must  resort  to  those 
things  called  polls — a  sort  of  elec- 
tion, so  to  speak.  The  New  York 
W orld-T clcgram  conducted  such  a 
poll  recently  and  Alton  Cook,  its

vounc  mid  beautiful 

By  MARY  BIDDLE 


WHEN  a  woman  looks  in  her  mirror  some  fine  morn- 
ing, and  says  to  herself:  "Today  I'm  forty,"  a  shiver  of 
dismay  accompanies  the  thought.  Careful  scrutiny  may 
go  with  it,  too,  as  though  expecting  suddenly  to  find  new 
furrows  in  the  brow. 

There  comes  a  time.  too.  when  we're  shopping  for  a 
new  dress,  and  the  saleslady  says  with  the  kindliest  inten- 
tions :  "Now  this  line  will  help  to  slenderize  your  hips." 
We  had  noticed  that  our  hips  did  seem  to  be  a  little 
larger,  but  we  hadn't  thought  much  about  it ;  then  we're 
all  at  once  brought  face  to  face  with  the  fact  that  others 
aren't  seeing  us  as  kindly  as  we  see  ourselves  .  .  .  that 
our  once-young  figures  are  acquiring  middle-aged  spread ! 

This  month,  with  spring  practically  in  our  midst,  with 
daring  new  hats  ready  to  perch  themselves  over  one  eye, 


and  a  general  feeling  of  things  budding  anew,  it  seems 
appropriate  to  talk  to  the  women  who  need  more  spring- 
time in  their  hearts  and  their  figures. 

Fortunately  the  one  person  I  would  have  chosen  above 
all  others  to  talk  to  you  about  how  to  keep  a  youthful 
face,  a  youthful  figure  and  a  youthful  heart,  is  right  here 
in  New  York  .  .  .  Irene  Rich.  She  is  just  as  lovely  and 
gracious  as  I  had  imagined  her  to  be  and  we  had  a  de- 
lightful chat  in  her  attractive  suite  at  the  Waldorf 
Astoria.  Her  personality  is  as  charming  as  the  warm, 
vibrant  voice  which  comes  to  you  over  the  radio,  and 
makes  you  an  ardent  Irene  Rich  fan.  You.  too,  probably 
long  have  been  an  admirer  of  hers,  in  which  case  you'll 
especially  appreciate  these  exclusive  pictures  that  Miss 
Rich  was  generous  enough  to  (Continued  on  page  62)

who  plays  the  character  of  Peter  Pfeiffer. 
Their  mothers  were  sisters,  and  Freddie 
and  Jack  Pearl  were  Drought  up  in  the 
same  neighborhood  in  New  York  City. 

Sometimes  it's  necessary  to  be  an  Amer- 
ican citizen,  or  at  least  show  intention  of 
becoming  one,  in  order  to  crash  the  net- 
works. When  Ray  Noble,  celebrated 
young  British  conductor,  composer  and 
arranger,  was  brought  over  from  Eng- 
land, the  musicians'  union  and  others 
said  "no."  And  so  Ray  went  out  to  Holly- 
wood where  they  consider  merit  more  im- 
portant than  passports.  Meanwhile  friends 
of  the  Englishman  in  New  York  were 
busy  trying  to  fix  things  up.  But  nothing 
could  be  done  until  Noble  applied  for 
citizenship  papers.    That  done,  he  got  an 

0.  k.  and  a  good  commercial  program.  His 
was  the  band  scheduled  to  play  in  Radio 
City's  Rainbow  Room,  the  sixty-fifth- 
story  night  club,  until  unions  and  such 
nixed  the  idea. 

The  two  opposite  in  radio  bands,  in 
case  you  hadn't  noticed,  are  Florence 
(Richardson,  a  woman  directing  an  all- 
Hnale  band,  and  Phil  Spitalny,  a  man  di- 
recting an  all-girl  orchestra.  Yes,  there 
l  is  a  girl  directing  an  all  girl  band,  but

"I'm  glad  you  came  over  to  visit  me 
while  you  wash  your  dolly's  clothes, 
Sally.  Let  me  lend  you  some  soap." 

"No,  thanks — I  brought  my  own  kind 
along — 'cause  I  don't  want  Arabella's 
clothes  to  do  any  tattling  on  me." 


"But  my  mommy's  clothes  are  white  as 
anything — 'cause  she's  smart.  She  uses 
this  Fels-Naptha  Soap!  Smell?  That's 
naptha,  mommy  says — heaps  of  it." 

"M-m-m!  So  that's  why  Fels-Naptha 
gets  all  the  dirt.  I  wonder  if  .  .  ." 


Little  gossips  are  cute  —  but  you  would 
t  not  want  any  grown-up  gossips  to 
see  "tattle-tale  gray"  in  your  clothes. 

So  change  to  Fels-Naptha  Soap — it  gets 
clothes  gorgeously  white! 

Fels-Naptha,  you  sec,  is  richer  soap — 
good  golden  soap!  And  there's  lots  of  naptha 
in  it.  When  these  two  cleaners  get  busy, 


"Why,  clothes  can't  tattle,  Sally." 

"  'Deed  they  can!  My  mommy  says 
the  little  bride  across  the  street  works 
real  hard  — but  her  clothes  are  full  of 
tattle-tale  gray  —  'cause  she  uses  a  soap 
that  doesn't  unstick  all  the  dirt." 


Fete  tceeks  Inter:  "Goody!  Goody!  — 
strawberry  ice  cream!" 

"That's  a  treat  for  you.  Sally.  You're  a 
little  gossip— but  I've  got  to  thank  you 
for  making  me  change  to  Fels-Naptha. 
My  washes  look  lots  whiter  now!" 


dirt  simply  has  to  let  go — ALL  OF  IT! 

Fels-Naptha  is  so  gentle,  too — you  can 
trust  your  daintiest  silk  undies  to  it!  It's 
kind  to  hands  —  there's  soothing  glycer- 
ine in  every  golden  bar.

AT  the  Ex -Lax  plant  is  a  big  box  con- 
L  taining  522  little  boxes.  Each  one 
contains  a  laxative  that  "hoped"  to  imi- 
tate Ex -Lax,  and  get  away  with  it. 

For  28  years  we  have  seen  them  come 
and  seen  them  go  .  .  .  while  Ex -Lax  has 
gone  along  growing  bigger  and  bigger 
year  by  year  .  .  .  simply  by  giving  satis- 
faction to  millions  of  people  who  turned 
to  it  for  pleasant,  painless,  thorough 
relief  from  constipation. 

WHY  EX-LAX  HAS  STOOD  THE 
TEST  OF  TIME 

Ex -Lax  is  a  chocolated  laxative  .  .  .  but 
it  is  so  much  more  than  just  chocolate 
flavor  and  a  laxative  ingredient.  The  way 
it  is  made  . . .  the  satisfaction  it  gives  . . . 
these  things  apparently  can't  be  copied. 
They  haven't  been  yet! 

Of  course.  Ex -Lax  is  thorough.  Of 
course,  it  is  gentle.  It  won't  give  you 
stomach  pains,  or  leave  you  feeling 
weak,  or  upset  you.  It  won't  form  a  habit 
.  . .  you  don't  have  to  keep  on  increasing 
the  dose  to  get  results. 


AND... THAT  "CERTAIN  SOMETHING" 

So  many  imitators  have  tried  to  produce 
a  chocolated  laxative  that  would  equal 
Ex -Lax.  But  they  couldn't.  Why? 
Because  Ex -Lax  is  more  than  just  a 
chocolated  laxative.  Because  the  exclu- 
sive Ex -Lax  process  gives  Ex -Lax  a 
"certain  something" —  a  certain  ideal 
action  that  words  just  can't  explain  and 
that  no  other  laxative  has.  But  once  you 
try  Ex -Lax,  you'll  know  what  we  mean, 
and  nothing  else  will  ever  do  for  you. 

Ex-Lax  comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  — 
at  any  drug  store.  If  you  would  like  to 
find  out  how  good  it  is  ...  at  our  expense

RADIO  STARS 


DEAR  FAY  WEBB  VALLEE : 

The  world  hates  a  welsher.  You  hate  a  welsher, 
too,  unless  you  are  a  lot  different  from  most  of  the  at- 
tractive California  girls  I've  met.  Yet  through  your 
recent  court  actions  against  Rudy  Vallee  in  New- 
York  City,  you  are  forcing  newspaper  headlines  to 
paint  a  not-so-nice  picture  of  yourself  as  just  exactly 
that. 

It  isn't  a  pretty  thing  to  imply  that  of  a  pretty  girl 
like  you,  hut  the  world  is  beginning  to  do  it.  Probably  it 
isn't  all  your  fault;  possibly  advisors  poured  into  your 
young  and  inexperienced  ( in  these  legal  affairs )  ear  so 
many  rosy  stories  of  what  you  were  entitled  according 
to    law.    that    you    begin    to    believe    them  yourself. 

By  the  way,  just  what  are  you  entitled  to? 
For  marrying   Rudy  Vallee  and  living 
with  him  for  an  elapsed  period  of 
nineteen     months,     less  than 
twelve  of  which  vou  spent  at 
his  side,  what  reward  is 
yours  rightfully?  Down 
deep  in  your  heart  of 
hearts,  can  you  hon- 
estly  answer  that 
question  ? 

I    know,  of 
course,  of  the 
settlements 
that  your  law- 
yers have  of- 
fered. Just 
the  other 
day  a  news- 
paper story 
said  that 
your  repre- 
sentatives 
met  in  the 
office  of 
J   U  d  g  e 
Bushel,  Ru- 
dy's   c  1  b  s  e 
friend  and  legal 
representative, 
and    offered  to 
call     the  whole 
thing  quits  for  two 
hu  n  d  r  e  d  thousand 
dollars.    That  offer  was 
refused     and     the  quit 
claim   price   finally  dropped 
to  fifty  thousand  dollars.  I  don't 
like  to  believe  that  you  would  bargain 
with    Rudy    or    with    anyone    else.  A 
wife's  rights  cannot  be  measured  by  money 
attempt  to  do  so  is  to  cheapen  both  one's  emotions  and 
oneself. 

Another  thing  that  sticks  in  the  back  of  my  mind  (and 
my  craw,  too)  is  that  court  action  you've  filed  in  Califor- 
nia. Unless  the  papers  have  misinformed  me,  you  have 
demanded  a  monthly  payment  from  Rudy  of  seventy-four 
hundred  dollars.  You  also  claim  ten  thousand  dol- 
lars for  expenses,  plus  fifty  thousand  dollars  for  your 
lawyers. 

Evidently  you  value  those  months  spent  with  Rudy  very 
highly.  Much  more  highly,  apparently,  than  does  the  man 
with  whom  you  spent  them.  Just  to  clear  up  the  record, 
lie  promised,  didn't  he,  to  pay  you  one  hundred  dollars  a 
week  for  life,  or  for  as  long  as  you  did  not  marry  again? 
You  signed  a  paper  to  the  effect,  didn't  you.  that  you 


To 


would  be  content  with  fifty-two  hundred  dollars  a  vea

else?  You  also  contracted  mutually  not  to  talk  for  public; 
tion  about  your  married  life.  Each  of  you  was  to  hav 
complete  personal  freedom.  And  you,  Fay,  agreed  th? 
you  would  not  take  part  in  any  motion  picture  or  pla 
which  purported  to  reveal  incidents  taken  from  you] 
married  life.  Those  were  the  general  terms  of  your  agret 
ment  that  you  signed,  weren't  they? 

It's  that  agreement,  the  papers  are  telling  the  work

And  then  you  were  married  secretly,  but  your  preciou

and  then  three  months !  Was  it  during  the  fourt

No  sane  person  can  deny  a  young  girl  her  right  t 
gaiety  and  happiness,  but  I  wonder  sometimes  if  merel  i

head?    If  you  didn't  begin,  soon,  to  enjoy  being  Mr'

it  true,  for  instance,  that 
during  the  seven-months' 
run  of  George  White's  Scan- 
dals, in  which  Rudy  was 
starring",  you  only  visited 
him  in  the  theatre  four  times, 
and  on  three  of  those  occa- 
sions you  came  writh  a  party 
whom  you  took  backstage  in 
order  to  introduce  them  to 
Rudy,  your  husband  ?  And 
is  it  true  that,  during  the 
months  of  Rudy's  engage- 
ment at  the  Penn  Grill,  you 
came  to  hear  him  play  and 
sing  only  three  times,  and 
each  night  hurried  away

Please.  Fay,  don't  think 
I'm  being  unpleasantly  nosey 
about  your  affairs.  I  tried 
to  get  in  touch  with  you 
while  you  were  in  New  York. 
I  wanted  to  hear  your  own

all  my  affairs  to  your  corps

letter.  I  believe,  you  will 
eventually  see. 

As  I  write.  I  am  told 
that  you  have  gone  back  to 
Santa  Monica.  California. 
It's  a  lovely  little  town  and 
I've  heard  that  the  home

Rudy  gave  your  father  (or 
did  he  give  it  to  you?)  the 
money  to  pay  off  the  mort- 
gage on  that  home — about 
forty-five  hundred  dollars,

ADIO  in  the  White  house  .  .  . 
Dark  magic,  earlier  occupants  of  the  presidential 
mansion  would  have  thought  it.  They  carried  the 
burdens  of  State  with  lonely  courage,  unrelieved 
by  a  bright  half  hour  of  classical  music,  of  popular  song 
or  nonsensical  mirth.  No  Amos  'n'  Andy  to  divert  their 
harassed  thoughts.  No  Will  Rogers  to  "kid"  their  preg- 
nant conferences,  their  momentous  decisions.  No  news 
broadcasts  to  tell  them  how  the  nation  reacted  to  their 


programs.  Imagine  Lincoln,  his  angular,  stooped  shoulde: 
covered  with  a  shawl,  listening  to  radio  comments  cl 
his  Gettysburg  address ! 

But.  like  its  present  occupants,  the  White  House  d 
today  is  truly  modern.  Within  its  historic  walls  the  nei 
day  and  the  new  deal  dwell.  All  the  best  that  this  amazirj

of    his    all-too-infrequent    leisure  hours. 

You  and  I  are  satisfied  with  our  single  sets.  Or.  if 
our  home  is  large,  you  may  have  two  or  three  radios

>t  just  a  private  home  for  the  presidential  family, 
ervants,  House  staff,  officials,  guests  are  a  definite  part 
the  pattern  of  its  daily  life.  And  although  pressing 
mands  upon  their  time  preclude  extensive  listening  on 
ie  part  of  President  and  Airs.  Roosevelt,  they  have  made 
possible  for  their  menage  to  enjoy  the  offerings  of  the 
r  waves.   Hence  the  eight  radios. 

Let  us  go  through  the  house  and  see  where  the  various

cretaries,  has  assigned  Frank  Kelsey,  a  pleasant- faced 
ish  usher,  to  conduct  us  on  our  tour. 
We  walk  through  the  small,  informal  dining-room  in 
Ie  left  wing,  where  the  family  gathers  together  when- 
Ifer  possible  at  meal-time.    Adjoining  this  room — we 
ep  through  the  massive  doors  as  we  pass — is  the  State 
ning-room,  with  its  long  table,  its  walnut-panelled  walls, 
richly  carved  chairs.    This  is  the  only  panelled  room

Somewhere,  close  by,  we  hear  a  radio,  bringing  forth 
lively  dance  music. 

Through  a  swinging  door  we  pass  from  the  family 
dining-room  into  a  large  serving  pantry.  Here  a  group 
of  colored  boys  sit  listening  to  their  radio.  They  look- 
up, startled,  as  we  enter. 

"It's  all  right,  boys,"  Frank  says.  "We  just  want  to 
see  the  radio  set.  and  find  out  what  you  are  listening  to." 

White  teeth  gleam  as  they  smile.  One  of  the  lads  does 
a  Dixie  shuttle  to  the  dance  music. 

"They  like  their  music  after  the  family  has  finished 
luncheon  and  left  the  dining-room,"  Frank  explains  as 
we  go  on.  "This  pantry  is  a  popular  place  every  after- 
noon, too,  when  there  is  football  or  baseball  or  any  sport- 
ing event  on  the  air." 

Outside  the  dining-room  we  step  into  an  elevator  which 
takes  us  to  the  second  floor.  In  this  we  are  especially 
privileged,  for  only  members  of  the  First  Family,  the 
House  staff,  and  guests  of  the  President  ordinarily  are

FOR  DISTinCUISHED 
SERVICE    TO  RHDIO 


Radio  has  a  sensational  new  pro- 
gram. It  is  a  musical  program  that 
turns  hot  or  sweet  or  symphonic 
at  the  slashing  beat  of  a  baton. 
By  all  the  precious  standards  of 
listening-in,  this  program  surely 
provides  eighteen-carat  musical 
entertainment. 

Not  long   ago,   the  unique 
orchestra    which    delivers  that 
entertainment  to  our  loudspeak- 
ers was  just  a  musical  director's 
dream.  Its  creation  and  its  success 
make  a  remarkable  story  that  you 
can  read  on  page  44  of  this  issue. 

Radio's  newest  sensation  is  simply  this: 
a  top-notch  orchestra  in  which  every  single 
musician  is  a  girl.  Perhaps  you've  already  heard  it 
on  ttiat  Thursday  night  Hour  of  Charm.  Broadway 
calls  it  Phil  Spitalny's  All-Girl  Band.  Radio  Row 
calls  it  a  miracle,  for  not  once  before  has  an  all- 
feminine   aggregation   managed   to   capture  the 


□ffection  and  interest  of  the  radio 
audience  as  has  this  one. 
You  already  know  that  it  is  the 
backbone  of  the  Hour  of  Charm 
program.     But    the    Hour  of 
Charm  is  more  than  good  music. 
It    is    a    demonstration  that 
women    can    present   as  fine 
musical    entertainment   as  the 
males   who   have  monopolized 
the   musicians'    jobs    from  the 
very  beginning  of  broadcasting. 
So    we    congratulate    those  who 
take  part  in  this  program.  Particu- 
larly we  congratulate  Phil  Spitalny  and 
the  girls  whose  talents  he  has  blended 
into  a  sweet-voiced  broadcasting  unit.    And  to 
the  Hour  of  Charm  we  present  our  April  Award  for 
Distinguished  Service.

Radio's  first  feminine  contribution  to 
Metropolitan  Opera  greets  her  father, 
as  he  arrives  in  New  York  City  from 
Cleveland  for  her  Grand  Opera  debut. 


SHE  SAT  alone  in  the  third  row  of  the  concert  at 
torium  at  Chautauqua,  New  York.  Her  long  hais 
lay  quiet  in  her  lap.    With  his  haton  the  conduct 
called  upon  the  hrasses.    They  filled  the  hall  with  tf 
part  of  the  symphony. 

But  for  Helen  Jepson  that  concert  had  not  yet  begu 
Now  the  conductor  indicated  that  one  by  one  the  bras 
drop  out.     With  his  baton  he  called  upon  the  w< 
winds.    They  came  in,  the  piccolo,  the  oboe  .  .  . 

Helen  raised  her  eyes  expectantly.   N-ozv,  now  the  fl* 
Hauntingly  sweet  it  reached  her  heart.    The  way  it 
ways  did.    While  her  brown  eyes,  smudged  in  her  f! 
face,  softened  and  faltered. 

With  one  exception  the  men  in  that  orchestra  were  I 
impersonal  to  Helen  Jepson  as  the  instruments  tl' 
played.    She  knew  only  that  to  the  right  of  the  platfcB 
sat  a  man  older  than  she  by  about  a  dozen  years,  a  nl 
with  brown  hair  that  had  the  appearance  of  being  scttl 
tured  on  his  head,  a  small  moustache,  kind  eyes,  « If 
fingers  quick  and  gentle  on  his  flute  stops. 

She  had  noticed  this  man  when  she  had  been  in  Ch-M 
tauqua  the  previous  summer  and  never  had  forgotB 
him.  With  few  exceptions  every  time  that  orchestra  Ity 
played  she  had  been  there  in  the  same  seat,  waiti  -k 
watching,  dreaming. 

She  had  inquired  his  name — learned  that  he  was  Geo  ■ 
Possell.    She  had  learned  where  he  lived — to  walk  arotfl

id  around  the  block  in  which  his  cottage  stood,  imagin- 
jig  chance  encounters.  However,  on  the  day  when  she 
id  glimpsed  him  in  the  shadows  of  the  screened-in 
irch  she  had  fled. 

That  afternoon,  after  the  concert,  Helen  walked  up 
ie  hill  with  the  harpist  and  his  wife,  whom  she  knew. 
"What's  George  Possell  like?"  She  tried  to  keep  her 
lice  cool  and  casual. 

"We'll  let  you  judge  that  for  yourself,"  the  harpist 
■Id  her.    "George!"  he  shouted.  "Hi,  there— George !" 

When  the  man  climbing  the  other  side  of  the  hill 
trned  Helen  recognized  George  Possell. 

"Hello,"  he  called  over  his  shoulder.    "Hello,  there." 

c  didn't  stop.    It  didn't  seem  to  occur  to  him  to  wait. 

"He's  none  too  friendly,  certainly."  Helen  slackened 
ir  pace.  If  he  didn't  want  to  meet  her  she  didn't  want 
i  meet  him  either !  - 

Then  gradually  George  Possell  slowed  up.  As  if  he 
ould  wait  for  them  without  appearing  to,  as  if  he 
ould  not  seem  too  anxious. 

There  were  introductions.  Then  all  four  continued 
>  the  hill.    Helen  and  George  led  the  way. 

"I've  missed  you,"  he  told  her.    "I  grew  accustomed 

seeing  you  always  in  the  same  seat  and  the  past  few 
lys  when  you  weren't  there  seemed  lonely." 

Helen  wanted  to  shout.  To  dance.  He  had  been 
vare  of  her!  Out  of  all  the  people  in  the  audience  it 


had  been  her  he  had  noticed !  And  during  the  few  day? 
she  had  been  away  visiting  in  Boston  he  had  missed  her ! 

After  that  they  walked  often  together  that  summer, 
through  quiet  woods  where  spicy  pine  needles  were  thick 
upon  the  ground.  They  swam  and  rested  for  hours  on 
a  raft  with  the  sun  warm  upon  them.  They  drove  along 
moonwashed  roads.  Helen  tried  not  to  think  how  it 
would  be  when  the  Chautauqua  season  was  Over,  when 
summer  burned  itself  out  in  the  color  and  haze  of  Sep- 
tember. Of  how  it  would  l>e  when  she  returned  to  the 
Curtis  Institute  in  Philadelphia  where  she  was  studying 
on  a  scholarship,  and  he  went  to  New  York  to  fill  his 
winter  engagements. 

"For  him — "  slge  told  herself  defensively,  "for  him  this 
might  lie  only  a  summer  flirtation,  nothing  more !" 

But  a  day  came  when  she  couldn't  torture  herself  with 
that  doubt  any  longer.  She  felt  his  eyes  warm  ujHin  her 
and  heard  his  voice  turn  tender  as  he  said  her  name. 
They  always  would  lie  together.    She  knew  it. 

She  told  George  Possell  about  her  childhood,  of  her 
high  school  years  in  Akron,  Ohio.  It  wasn't  the  happy, 
triumphant  story  to  lie  expected  from  a  girl  so  slim  and 
tall,  with  hair  so  golden,  and  brown  eyes  forever  turning 
from  grave  to  gay.  It  was  a  story  of  a  little  girl  who 
lost  her  mother  when  she  was  just  thirteen,  of  a  little 
girl  who  looked  after  her  three-year-old  sister  and  cooked 
and  washed  and  swept  and   (Continued  on  page  74)

OF  R  (cROOHER'S  WIFE" 


ISUPPOSK  I'm  one  of  the  most  envied  women 
in  the  world.  On  the  face  of  it,  I've  got  every- 
thing. A  husband  whose  fame  is  a  household 
byword,  along  with  his  youth  and  charm  and  talent. 
Money  that  flows  in  on  us  in  an  inexhaustible  golden 
tide.  All  the  furs  and  frocks  and  jewels  that  monev 
can  buy — Hal  is  generosity  itself,  with  his  fabulous 
earnings, 

I'm  only  twenty-five.  Even  if  there  are  times 
when  I  feel  older,  my  mirror  tells  me  I'm  still  lovely 
to  look  at.  (And  sometimes  ilal  tells  me  so,  too.  .  .  .) 

And — I'm  Hal  Robey's  wife!  The  wife  of  one 
of  the  most  popular  and  adored  stars  on  the  net- 
works. Of  the  boy  who,  with  his  marvelous  tenor 
voice,  his  good  looks  and  charm — the  charm  that 
wings  over  the  air-waves  straight  to  the  heart  of 
every  woman  who  tunes  in  on  him — is  every 
woman's  lover !  Lucky  me,  you  say  ?  I  wonder.  . .  . 

I  gave  an  interview  to  a  young  woman  from  one 
of  the  bigger  radio  magazines  last  week.  She 
wanted  the  intimate,  inside  story  of  our  marriage. 
She  got  a  good  story.  But  when  I  read  it,  I  won- 
dered what  had  happened  to  the  girl  who  fell  in 
love  with  a  lad  with  tousled  fair  hair  and  an  un- 
forgettable voice — and  who  married  the  sweetheart 
of  a  million  women ! 

Perhaps  if  I  write  the  real  truth,  I'll  lay  her 
ghost.  It  won't  hurt  Hal.  No  one  who  reads  this 
will  guess  who  he  really  is.  His  build-up  and  pub- 
licity have  made  our  meeting,  our  marriage,  our 
life  together,  a  romantic  legend.  A  legend  so  far 
from  the  truth  that  the  truth  can't  imperil  it.  .  .  . 

I  was  just  twenty  when  I  saw  Hal  for  the  first 
time.  He  wasn't  the  famous  Hal  Robey  then.  He 
was  just  a  lovable  good-looking  kid  of  twenty- 
one  or  -two,  scared  stiff  under  his  cockiness,  gam- 
bling everything  on  a  ten  a.  m.  audition  in  studio  C ! 

It's  funny  to  remember  that  I  was,  in  a  small 
way.  part  of  the  glamorous  world  to  which  he  as- 
pired. I'd  been  a  hostess  in  Broadcast  City  for 
eight  months,  you  see.  Not  that  I  kidded  myself. 
My  casual,  daily  contact  with  executives  and  stars 
and  would-be  stars  was  as  thrilling  as  ever,  but 
after  all,  I  was  just  a  pretty,  competent  girl  at  a 
desk  outside  the  executive  offices.  I  knew  the  glit- 
tering radio   world  behind  those  portals  was,  to 


Molly  Shannon,  as  remote,  as  inaccessible  as  Mars. 
W  hat  happened  in  the  sound-proof  studios  didn't 
concern  me — until  the  morning  Ilal  showed  up. 
with  his  seven-piece  singing  orchestra! 

Of  course,  I'd  got  so  that,  at  first  glance,  I  couli 
tell  a  newcomer  trying  to  break  into  radio.  \\  hether 
they're  destined  for  fame  and  fortune,  or  heart- 
breaking obscurity,  they  all  have  the  same  look 
Proud  and  excited  and  panicky.  '  Mikc'-fri</ht  has  a 
way  of  getting  to  you  long  before  you  find  your- 
self in  front  of  the  microphone!  This  boy  already 
was  bracing  himself  for  his  big  moment. 

I  gave  him  my  best  smile  as  he  leaned  over  the 
desk.  And  even  l>efore  he  spoke  or  smiled  back  at 
me — with  the  smile  that  now  is  known  all  over  the 
world — something  passed  between  us  like  an  electric 
current. 

"I'm  Hal  Robey."  he  said.  There  was  something 
about  his  voice,  husky  and  endearing— well,  I 
needn't  describe  it.  You've  heard  it.  "I've  brought 
my  singing  orchestra  here  for  a  ten  o'clock  audi- 
tion. Mr.  Carlin  fixed  the  date." 

"Mr.  Carlin?  Just  a  moment  please.  .  .  ." 

I  had  to  tell  a  grenardierish-looking  woman,  with  a 
group  of  schoolgirls  in  tow,  when  the  next  tour  of 
Broadcast  City  would  start,  and  when  I  got  through 
with  her  he  still  was  hanging  over  my  desk. 

"I  didn't  know  they  made  anything  as  blue  as 
your  eyes !"  he  said.  "And  under  that  black  bang, 
too.  .  ."  He  flashed  his  lovely  smile  at  me  again.  "Am 
1  too  fresh  ?  Sorry !  W  here  do  I  go  from  here  ?" 

I  could  feel  the  color  creeping  right  up  to  my 
temples.  Funny,  wasn't  it.  when  I  was  used  to  be- 
ing jollied  by  half  the  big  shots  in  radio?  (They're 
terribly  nice,  radio  people.  Maybe  it's  because  you 
don't — or  can't — get  over  in  radio  unless  you've 
got  that  warm,  friendly  something  that  reaches 
right  out  and  makes  a  personal  contact  with  every- 
one ! ) 

"Right  up  to  the  top,  I  hope !"  I  heard  myself 
sav  in  a  funnv  little  voice.  "Mr.  Carlin — you're  to 
go  to  Studio  C." 

He  drew  a  deep  breath,  and  straightened  his  tie. 
It  was  sort  of  shabby,  like  his  blue  serge  suit  that 
had  seen  plenty  of  pressings.  And  I  knew  that  I 
wanted  him  to  make  good  in  his  audition  as  I'd

Rotofotos,  1  nc. 


The  cabin  of  the  ship's  master  sug- 
gests charm,  dignity  and  authority. 


The  Inside  Story  of  Setl 


THE  seas  of  the  South  Pacific,  whipped  hy  the  sudden 
hurricane  had  been  mounting  for  the  past  six  hours,  hurl- 
ing themselves  against  the  storm-racked  schooner  Seth 
Parker.  The  sails  snapped  and  creaked  in  the  gale. 

Phillips  Lord,  master,  floundered  along  the  wet  deck 
to  the  after  companionway.  Gaining  it,  he  clung  to  the 
lifeline,  breathing  hard,  listening  to  the  scream  of  the 
wind  in  the  rigging.  An  ominous  rending  came  to  his 
ears  and  he  thrust  his  sou'wester  back  to  peer  upward 
through  the  flying  spray.  One  look  was  enough.  He 
plunged  down  the  companionway. 

"All  hands !"  he  yelled.  "Foretopmast  giving  'way. 
Stand  by  with  hatchets  to  cut  away  the  rigging  when 
she  goes." 

He  swung  to  the  radio  room.  "We've  got  to  send  it, 
Sweeny,"  he  cried  bitterly  to  the  radio  operator.  "Can't 
hold  off  any  longer.  It's  not  so  much  the  ship  now.  It's 
the  youngsters  aboard.    Let  her  go !" 

Sweeny  flicked  over  a  switch.  His  hand  snapped  down 
on  the  wireless  key.  Dots  and  dashes  bit  through  the 
howling  night. 

"S-O-S!"  they  shrilled   "S-O-S  .  .  .  S-O-S  .  . 

Less  than  an  hour  later  the  New  York  broadcasting 
world  was  reading  from  freshly-printed  newspapers  the 
fateful  words  flashed  from  the  schooner  seven  thousand 
miles  away.    And  ironically  enough,  they  were  laughing. 

"Fake,"  they  jeered.  "Publicity  stunt  for  those  travel- 
ogue broadcasts  he  puts  on  from  the  ship!" 

One  woman  didn't  laugh.  She  knew  it  was  no  fake. 
She  knew  Phillips  Lord  too  well.  She  was  married  to 
him. 

The  hours  since  Mrs.  Lord  first  had  had  word  of  her 
husband's  plight  had  dragged  grimly  along  in  their  Long 
Island  home.  Dry-eyed,  she  tried  to  smile  reassuringly 
when  their  two  little  daughters,  seven  and  four  years  old, 


asked  for  news  of  Daddy.  She  would  not  admit  that  hi 
life  was  in  danger.  But  she  knew  that  each  wave  tha 
smashed  at  the  disabled  ship  was  a  cruel  thrust  at  hi 
lifelong  dream  of  sailing  around  the  world  in  his  own  ship 

Worse,  she  knew  what  the  radio  world  was  thinking 
She  knew  that  the  harsh  rumors,  circulated  since  th 
start  of  the  expedition,  were  beginning  again. 

You've  heard  them.  The  critics  said  that  he  was  put 
ting  out  in  an  unseaworthy  boat ;  that  he  was  not  ; 
competent  master ;  that  he  was  gambling  with  the  live 
of  the  boy-crew.  Despite  this,  they  asserted,  so  eage 
was  he  for  the  money  to  be  realized  from  the  sponsor 
ship  of  broadcasts  from  the  vessel,  so  avid  for  the  pub 
licity,  that  he  went  ahead.  They  had  made  much  of  hi 
cla^h  with  the  American  Consul  in  Jamaica. 

I  knew  these  stories,  but  not  until  I  heard  Lord  ac 
cused  of  sending  out  an  unnecessary  distress  call  did 
determine  to  track  them  down  from  every  possible  insid< 
source.  Such  an  accusation  is  too  serious  to  pass  by.  Ii 
investigating  them  I've  uncovered  a  gripping  story  o 
the  sea — the  whole  story  of  the  Seth  Parker  shipwreck 

When  Lord  first  saw  that  schooner  lying  idle  at  s 
Brooklyn  dock,  all  the  dreams  of  his  youth  sprang  t( 
the  foreground  of  his  mind.  Again  he  felt  that  long 
suppressed  yearning  to  visit  faraway  places  with  allurinf 
names — Zanzibar,  Bangkok,  Singapore — a  yearning  wbicf 
had  been  denied  by  the  practical  necessity  of  earning  i 
living. 

Now,  somewhat  released  from  that  necessity,  he  wa> 
in  a  position  to  buy  the  ship.  He  didn't  hesitate.  From 
the  moment  the  bill  of  sale  was  in  his  hand  Lord  was  a 
different  man.  He  devoted  every  energy  to  outfitting  ii 
for  a  world  voyage.  He  spent  thousands  of  dollars  in 
the  enterprise.  By  the  time  the  ship  was  ready  for  sea. 
with  her  equipment,  she  was       (Continued  on  page  78)

Virginia  Rea,  coloratura  soprano. 


Her  Career  Pushed  Love  Aside  and  Then  Played  Matchmaker 


[AREERS  are  funny  things.  You  and  I  know  many 
famous  stars  who  have  thrown  away  their  chances 
of  marriage  and  real  happiness  to  advance  their 
careers. 

Virgina  Rea,  recent  star  of  The  American  Album  of 
Familiar  Music  was  one  of  those  people  whose  entire 
life  has  been  conditioned  by  her  career.  Many  a  time  Vir- 
ginia has  turned  a  deaf  ear  to  love,  so  that  there  would 
be  no  conflict  with  her  ambition.  And  it  was  just  when 
she  was  beginning  to  feel  that  she  had  sacrificed  too 
much  to  it  when  an  unexpected  thing  happened.  That 
career  of  hers,  by  some  strange  twist,  contrived  to' bring 
to  her  the  great  romance  of  her  life.  Brought  her  an 
adoring,  fine  young  husband  and  even  the  vine-covered 
cottage  she  always  had  longed  for  in  the  country. 

Today  Virginia  looks  back  at  those  bewildered  years 
in  the  past  when  she  had  to  decide  between  love  and 
fame.  And  she  shudders  when  she  remembers  how  she 
was  assailed  by  awful  doubts  as  to  whether  she  was 
making  a  wise  choice ! 

The  domination  of  her  career  started  when  she  was 
five  years  old,  in  Louisville,  Kentucky.  When  the  other 
children  were  playing  hopscotch,  she  was  sitting  at  the 
piano  in  her  parlor  practicing  for  the  church  concert. 
And  even  later  in  Drake  University,  when  her  chums 
went  out  with  football  men,  she  preferred  to  stay  in  the 
dorm  and  practice.  But  don't  picture  Virginia  as  a  horn- 
rimmed, stoop-shouldered  student.  On  the  contrary  she 
was  a  very  pretty  girl  who  was  rushed  by  the  college 
boys.  That  was  what  made  the  sacrifice  harder. 

Later  she  came  to  New  York  to  look  for  a  job.  She 
finally  got  one  with  the  Brunswick  Record  Company. 
Then  came  concerts  abroad  and  the  first  taste  of  adula- 
tion and  acclaim  for  the  little  Kentucky  girl. 

By  this  time  Virginia  Rea  had  lost  some  of  her 
30 


youthful  shyness.  Now  she  was  a  poised,  lovely  girl 
with  soft  black  hair  and  a  delicately  lovely  complexion 
She  travelled  through  France,  Spain,  England  and  Ger- 
many. And  in  all  of  these  countries  Virginia  Rea  had 
but  to  say  the  word  and  she  could  have  had  her  pick 
of  the  most  sought-after  eligibles  in  Europe. 

There  were  men — blond  English  sportsmen,  dashing 
Spanish  noblemen,  gay  French  artists  and  serious  Ger- 
man musicians — all  of  whom  were  attracted  to  this  gray- 
eyed,  talented  girl.  But  men,  Virginia  felt,  had  no  place 
in  her  life.  She  had  seen  too  many  careers  nipped  in 
the  bud  by  the  complications  which  generally  come  with 
married  life.  She  wasn't  going  to  risk  that.  So  she  shut 
her  eyes  to  the  romance  of  Venice  and  the  heavenly  moon- 
light of  Barcelona,  refused  tempting  invitations  to  gay 
parties,  devoted  every  moment  to  hard  work  and,  for 
a  while,  really  believed  that  her  life  was  complete. 

It  was  when  she  went  back  home  that  her  big  oppor- 
tunity came.  The  Brunswick  Company  had  a  program 
which  featured  their  own  artists.  When  Virginia's 
thrilling  coloratura  soprano  floated  out  over  the  airwaves, 
her  radio  career  was  set. 

But  it  was  at  this  time  that  she  was  tormented  by 
vague  doubts.  She  was  still  young,  yet  she  could  feel 
the  years  passing  by.  Could  a  career  ever  make  up  for 
the  fuller  life  of  a  homemaker?  Had  she  made  a  wise 
choice?  I  think  that  for  the  first  time  in  her  busy  life 
Virginia  sat  down  and  thought  over  this  problem  that 
has  confronted  so  many  other  women. 

Now  you  must  know  Virginia  to  understand  exactly 
how  she  felt.  In  spite  of  her  rigid  determination  to 
make  a  name  for  herself,  she  is  not  the  hard,  shrewd 
business  woman  such  as  are  so  many  "careerists."  I 
think  it  must  have  been  the  most  difficult  thing  in  the 
world  for  her  to  shut  love  and  (Continued  on  page  Wi

lf  HIS  is  the  story  of  a  man  and  a  dream.  It  is  the 

I  story  of  how  that  man  clung  to  the  dream  through 

■  lean  and  bitter  years ;  faced  starvation  for  that 
cam;  threw  away  promised  security  to  keep  the  dream 
Eve.  Time  and  again  sponsors  offered  Willard  Robison 
t'.zling  sums  if  he  would  make  his  music  a  little  more 
tnmercial.  But  he  couldn't  do  that.  And  so  he 
Ined. 

Mow  at  last  the  man  has  come  into  his  own.  Three 
1  K's  a  week  you  can  hear  him  over  a  network  on  the 
\  tgram  called  Plantation  Echoes.  And  nightly  he 
1  adcasts  from  the  St.  Moritz  Hotel.  When  Mrs.  Frank- 
ij  D.  Roosevelt  went  on  the  air,  her  sponsors  could 
t  nk  of  no  one  more  fitted  to  accompany  her  than  this 
^ne  Willard  Robison.  His  Deep  River  Orchestra  meant 
s  nettling  fine,  deep,  sincere. 

Why,"  I  asked  Willard  Robison  once,  "did  you  turn 
<  *vn  the  sponsors'  offers?  When  you  were  so  badly  in 
||?d  of  money,  why  didn't  you  do  what  they  asked?" 

'It  wasn't  that  I  wouldn't  do  what  they  asked."  Willard 


explained  in  his  slow  careful  way.  "it  was  that  I  couldn't 
do  it." 

And  if  you  understand  that,  you  understand  Willard 
Robison. 

When  he  first  sent  to  music  publishers  the  songs  he 
had  composed,  thev  gasped.  For  these  songs  were  semi- 
spiritual  in  type.  Without  losing  the  tone  of  reverence, 
they  somehow  modernized  spiritual  songs.  Today  there 
are  countless  imitators  of  Willard  Robison  Todav  the 
air  is  filled  with  semi-spiritual  songs.  But  when  Willard 
first  wrote  such  songs  as  "Wake  L'p,  C'hillun.  Wake  L'p." 
"Truthful  Parson  Brown."  and  "Head  Low."  songs  of 
this  tvpe  never  had  been  sung  over  the  radio,  and  music 
publishers  assured  Willard :  "The  public  never  will  stand 
for  this  kind  of  music." 

And  that's  the  way  things  have  been  through  all  of 
Willard's  life,  one  rebuff  after  another.  For  always  he 
has  tried  to  do  things  that  are  different  and  original, 
and  the  road  to  success  is  always  rocky  and  torturous  tor 
pioneers  in  anv  direction.  [Continued  on  pane  101)

This  Everglades  two-piece  sports 
dress  steps  forth  in  Peasant  linen. 
The  plain  skirt  a  smart  contrast  to 
the  striped  jacket.  And  the  rope 
girdle  supplies  a  fetching  note. 
Notice  the  soft,  flattering  neck- 
line of  the  scarf  collar,  the  sleeves 
flared  at  the  wrist  and  the  tricky 
polka-dotted  scarf  tucked  in  smartly. 


And  here  is  a  four-piece  Ever- 
glades suit— chic  and  intriguing! 
You  can  live  in  it  all  Spring  and 
Summer.  Gaze  on  the  smart 
tailored  suit.  Then,  zip  open  the 
skirt  and  you've  a  perfect  outfit 
for  beach  or  tennis.  A  halter 
blouse  beneath  the  jacket,  and 
matching  shorts  beneath  the  skirt. 


Large  appliqued  coin  dots  and  a 
matching  fringed  bandana  make 
the  Everglades  sport  dress  natty 
and  distinctive.  The  wind-breaker 
blouse  is  very  flattering  and  gives 
a  girl  that  much-desired  slim  line. 
The  short  sleeves  are  a  cool  and 
smart  detail  for  summer  comfort.

WIFE  DIUORCED  HIE 

Because  It  Meant  I  Could  Marry  Her  Again 


"I'M  GLAD  my  wife  divorced  me."  Mark  Hel- 
linger  said  to  me.   Yes,  the  same  Mark  Hellinger 
whose  inside  stories  of  Broadway  big-shots  hold 
us  enthralled  every  Wednesday  night.    And  the 
wife  in  the  case?    None  other  than  the  glamorous 
Gladys  Glad,  Broadway's  pet  beauty,  who  shares 
the  Penthouse  Party  program  with  him. 
Three  years  ago  Gladys  Glad  and  Mark 
Hellinger  came  to  the  end  of  the  road. 
Their  patience  with  each  other  was  com- 
pletely worn  out.   They  were  sick  of  the 
whole  cockeyed  business  of  marriage  on 
Broadway.    A  sympathetic  judge  gave 
them  a  divorce.    And  then  a  year  later 
they  were  married  again.   To  each  other!  Today 
they  claim  they  are  blissfully  happy. 
Yet  handsome,  devil-may-care  Mark  Hellinger 
says  soberly:  "I'm  glad  my  wife  divorced  me." 
Why  does  he  make  such  an  insane-sounding 
statement?    And  if  he  was  so  pleased  with 
the  divorce,  why  did  he  rush  glamorous 
Gladys  into  remarriage,  when  the  final 
divorce  papers  were  hardly  dry?  And 
what  subtle  alchemy  has  changed  a 
marriage  which  then  was  such  a 
disheartening   flop,    into  one 
long  sweet  song?

of  their  first  marriage  and  the  rebirth  of  their 
love,  with  its  happiness  and  understanding  today, 
gives  all  the  answers.    And  it  should  serve  as  a 
warning  signal  to  every  boy  and  girl  who  expect  a 
little  gold  band  to  make  two  young,  wilful  people 
into  one. 

To  understand  it  fully,  you  must  know  something 
of  the  background  of  these  two.    At  the 
age  of  twenty-three,  when   Mark  met 
Gladys,  he  probably  was  one  of  the  most 
spoiled   young   men   along   the  Great 
White  Way.    After  a  brief,  checkered 
career  during  which  he  had  been  fired 
from  one  job  after  another.  Fate  had 
tossed  into  his  lap  the  job  of  columnist  on  the 
New  York  Daily  News.    And  almost  overnight 
this  boy  became  Broadway's  white-haired  lad. 

Everyone  from  gangsters  to  millionaire  cap- 
tains of  industry  called  him  "'Buddy,"  fawned 
upon  him.    Life  was  a  gay  song  and  dance 
to  him.    He  went  to  bed  when  most  of  us 
are  getting  up  to  go  to  work.    Just  as 
we  sit  down  for  our  evening  meal  he 
ate  breakfast.    Turning  night  into 
day  was  his  regular  routine.  For 
Broadway's  night-life  was  his 
most  colorful  source  of  ma- 
terial, and  he  was  an

Marcus,  twelve-year-old  Brooklyn  school-boy  who  re- 
cently made  a  network  debut.  Arthur,  one  of  a  party 
making  a  tour  of  Radio  City,  was  missing  when  the  tour 
was  completed.  A  page-boy,  dispatched  to  find  him, 
discovered  the  boy  playing  on  a  studio  piano.  And  play-

(Above)  Jack  Smith, 
one  of  radio's  pioneer 
entertainers  whispers 
his  melodies  again 
over  the  network. 


"Song,  Women,  Wine  and 
Song  Again"  Tells  the  Story  of 
Whispering  Jack  Smith's  Life 


IAKE  the  trite  and  worn-out  "wine,  women 
and  song."  Twist  it  around  to  read  "song, 
women  and  wine" — and  there  in  a  phrase  you 
have  the  life  story  of  Jack  Smith,  radio's 
"whispering  baritone."  That  is  the  order  in  which 
they  came  in  Jack's  life.  Song  made  him  famous. 
A  woman's  caprice  made  him  forget  career,  friends, 
fortune.  Wine  made  him  forget  unkind  fate  and 
dragged  him,  almost  overnight,  from  fame  to  ob- 
scurity. 

But  wait.  The  tale  is  not  all  told  in  those  four 
short  words.  There  is  more.  It  should  read:  "Song, 
women,  wine — and  song  again."  For  Jack  has  come 
back.  He  is  singing  once  more.  Here  is  the  story 
as  he  told  it  to  me ;  the  story  of  a  man  who  fought 
the  heritage  of  the  curse  of  drink,  lost  the  fight, 
set  his  jaw  and  fought  again — and  won. 

"Jack  Smith  has  been  my  own  worst  enemy." 

There  was  no  affectation  or  trace  of  theatricalism 
in  this  simple  statement  Jack  made.  "You  see,  I'm 
a  May  thirtieth  child,"  he  continued.  "Most  May 
thirtieth  children  are  complex — sort  of  'Dr.  Jekyll 
and  Mr.  Hyde.'  Oh,  yes,  I  believe  in  such  things ! 
I  have  great  faith  in  the  stars.  Now  in  the  year  I 
was  born,  May  thirtieth  fell  under  the  sign  of  .  .  ." 

"But,  tell  me,  what  do  you  mean  when  you  say 
you've  been  your  own  worst  enemy?"  I  interrupted, 
curiosity  getting  the.  better  of  manners. 


"Well,  that's  a  long  story  .  .  ."  He  paused  to  le 
his  mind  travel  back  over  the  years — years  filled  wit! 
triumph,  and  with  despair. 

"I  suppose  you  remember  'Cecilia'  and  'I'm  Knee  Dee] 
in  Daisies'  and  those  other  records  of  mine,  don't  you?' 
he  asked.  "Well,  when  I  made  those,  money  poured  in 
For  the  first  time  in  my  life,  I  had  all  the  money  I  wanted 
And  I  wanted  money  mainly  to  give  my  mother  all  th< 
little  comforts  she  deserved — for  when  I  was  a  kid,  am 
my  father  died,  mother  scrubbed  floors  to  support  m< 
so  she  wouldn't  have  to  place  me  in  a  home.  But  as 
was  saying,  money  came  easily.  I  bought  her  a  nice  hom< 
out  in  the  suburbs. 

The  radio  was  something  new  then.  When  I  wantec 
to  try  it  they  wouldn't  let  me,  because  they  said  my  styl< 
of  singing  was  too  soft  for  the  microphone.  But  on 
day  I  got  a  chance,  and  then  the  money  came  in  faste 
than  ever  before.  I  went  to  London,  and  played  in 
musical  comedy.  I  met  the  Prince  of  Wales,  and  w< 
became  good  friends.  For  six  years  I  practically  com 
muted  between  Europe  and  America,  and  if  ever  am 
jone  had  reached  the  top  of  his  profession  I  had. 

"I  didn't  drink  in  those  days.  You  see,  my  mothc 
always  had  been  afraid  of  liquor,  because  my  father  ha( 
been  too  fond  of  it,  and  she  always  thought  of  him. 
did,  too;  often  that  kept  me  from  taking  'just  a  few 
drinks  on  some  merry  party. 

"Then,  one  night,  in  Berlin  .  .  .'* 


lack's  soft  voice  trailed  to  nothingness,  and  he  sat  star- 
i ;  into  the  past.  At  length  he  went  on :  "That  night 
J  net  a  woman.  She  was  a  Hungarian  dancer,  and  I  fell 
rdly  in  love  with  her.  My  show  had  been  running 
>i  two  years  at  that  time,  and  was  soon  to  close.  We 
a  eed  that  when  it  did,  we  would  be  married.  Shortly 
I  ore  the  close  of  the  show  I  received  an  offer  to  re- 
4n  to  America,  but  I  could  think  of  nothing  but  her 
>al  of  our  marriage.  I  couldn't  even  think  of  my  work. 
I  ef used  the  offer,  in  order  that  we  might  have  a  honey- 
After  the  show  finally  closed,  she  kept  postponing  the 
adding.  Sometimes  she  wouldn't  see  me  for  two  or 
tee  days  at  a  time.  She  would  make  this  excuse  or 
1 1.  That  was  when  I  began  to  drink.  It  made  the 
t  ie  seem  shorter  until  I  could  see  her  again.  One 
n  ht  I  was  to  meet  her,  and  she  wasn't  there.  I  never 
Vv  her  again.    She  had  run  off  with  another  man." 

\gain  Jack  paused.  Tactfully  I  glanced  about  the 
f  in,  for  I  suspected  there  was  moisture  in  his  eyes. 

My  next  clear  recollection  was  two  months  later," 
n  resumed.  "I  had  been  on  a  bender  all  that  time.  When 
J  nally  recovered,  I  couldn't  bear  to  remain  in  Europe, 
t  I  returned  to  America. 

But  in  those  months  I  had  been  away  I  had  been  for- 
gten.  Memories  are  short  in  the  show  business.  A 
n  i  crop  of  stars  had  sprung  up.  Not  that  I  cared.  I 
a  n  t  care  about  anything  then.   I  drank  more  and  more, 


for  in  drinking  there  was  forgetfulness.  I  always 
told  myself  that  I  could  stop  whenever  I  chose. 
I  suppose  everyone  who  drinks  tells  himself  that. 
One  thing  I'm  proud  of  is  that  when  I  was  mak- 
ing plenty  of  money  I  always  had  given  my  mother 
plenty,  and  now  she  was  comfortable.  I  stayed 
away  from  her,  though,  for  I'd  have  been  ashamed 
to  have  her  see  me  that  way. 

"One  day  I  landed  an  engagement  in  Washing- 
ton. Of  course  I  wasn't  a  star  any  more.  Liquor 
had  hurt  my  voice  and  I'd  been  away  too  long.  But 
funds  were  low  and  I  needed  work.  On  the  way 
to  the  theater  I  stopped  off  for  a  drink  to  brace 
me  up.  The  next  thing  I  can  recall  is  being  in  a 
speakeasy.  A  decrepit  old  beggar  with  a  violin 
was  playing  mournful  tunes.  I  rememt>er  taking 
the  fiddle  from  him,  playing  it  amid  drunken  aj>- 
plause.    Suddenly,  somehow,  that  sobered  me. 

"I  guess  that  riddle  carried  me  back  to  my  boy- 
hood. .  .  .  Long  ago,  when  I  was  just  a  kid  and 
Mom  scrubbed  floors,  she  came  home  one  day  with 
a  fiddle  and  got  a  man  who  lived  near  us  to  give 
me  a  lesson  whenever  she  had  a  spare  quarter  to 
pay  him.  I  always  hated  that  fiddle,  but  young  as 
I  was  I  realized  what  a  sacrifice  it  had  meant  for 
Mom  to  buy  it  and  I  didn't  have  the  heart  to  hurt 
her,  so  I  played  it.  .  .  .

monish  them  for  drinking  a  cocktail?  They  know  how 
deeply  he  feels  the  responsihility  he  assumed  when  he 
brought  all  of  them  to  New  York  on  a  gamhle  more  than 
one  radio  executive  said  was  pure  folly. 

Phil  has  fought  mighty  hard  to  win  the  gamble.  He 
doesn't  want  the  girls  to  be  thrown  on  their  own  in  a 
strange  city.  He  knows  how  it  feels.  He  was  kicked 
around  in  his  threadbare  pants  pretty  much  for  the  first 
few  years  after  he  came  to  this  country. 

Here's  what  I  mean.    Twenty-three  years  ago  he  was 
a  saj) — a  sap,  that  is,  in  the  eyes  of  those  conscienceless 
fellows  who  prey  on  unsuspecting  immigrants.  Fresh 
in  mi    the    cattle    lioat  on 
which   he  and   his  brother 
had  worked  their  way  from 
(  klessa,  Russia, a  sly  clothier 
persuaded  him  to  part  with 
a  dollar-ninety-eight  of  his 
last  three  dollars  for  a  pair 
of  overalls,  telling  him  he 
had  to  have  that  kind  of  uni- 
form to  get  work  in  Amer- 
iea !    They   didn't   get  him 
any  work. 

lie  and  his  brother  had 
been  educated  at  the  Im- 
perial Conservatory  of  Mu- 
sic in  Odessa,  but  while  that 
might  mean  plenty  of  ko- 
pecks to  them  over  there,  it 
meant  mighty  few  pennies 
over  here.  They  were  always 
bumping  into  hard  luck. 
They  were  cheated,  for  ex- 
ample, of  their  salary  by  a 
crooked  hooking  agent  after 
weeks  of  playing  on  a  Chau- 
tauqua tour.  They  hitch- 
hiked the  sixty  miles  hack  to 
Cleveland,  whence  they  had 
started,   and   were  glad  to 

play   in  any  sort  of  a  place — just   for  their  meals. 

It  seemed-  like  pretty  big  money  to  Phil  when  his 
brother  was  engaged  to  direct  an  orchestra  in  a  Cleveland 
movie  theatre  and  himself  to  play  in  it.  But  things  didn't 
go  as  smoothly  as  the  music  they  produced.  Phil  rowed 
with  his  hrother  over  the  conducting  of  the  orchestra. 
11  i>.  hrother  snapped  the  Russian  equivalent  of:  "//  you 
don't  like  it,  you  can  lump  it." 

Phil  lumped  it.  Right  out  on  his  own.  And  it  looked 
for  a  time  as  though  he  were  to  l>e  kicked  alxnit  no 
longer.  He  organized  an  orchestra  and  was  given  engage- 
ments in  such  hotels  as  the  Statler  in  Cleveland  and  the 
Pennsylvania  in  New  York.    Radio  contracts  came  tum- 


Phil  Spitalny 


bling  into  his  lap.  Rut  he  had  yet  to  jkiv  the  para- 
doxical penalty  often  meted  out  for  hroadcast  fame 
— having  the  listeners  tire  of  a  name  and  forget  it. 

If  it  hadn't  l>een  for  you  listeners  setting  him 
aside  in  your  minds  in  favor  of  some  newer  radio 
conductor,  he  might  never  have  had  to  summon  the 
courage  to  organize  his  amazing  all-girl  orchestra. 
Rut  Phil  was  pretty  desperate.  He  had  to  do  some- 
thing startlingly  new  and  original  to  regain  his 
former  standing.  Why  not  such  an  orchestra,  he 
asked  some  of  his  radio  acquaintances. 

He  was  annoyed  when  the  smarties  laughed  at  the 
idea.  "Wild  idea,  eh  ?"  he 
muttered.  "I'll  show  'em!" 

He  wheedled  a  contract 
for  appearances  of  the  pro- 
jected orchestra  at  the  Cap- 
itol Theatre  in  New  York 
and  in  vaudeville,  provided, 
of  course,  he  could  organ- 
ize a  satisfactory  one.  He 
went  to  the  bank,  drew  on 
his  dwindling  funds,  and 
started  on  a  tour  of  the 
country  to  get  the  girls  the 
wisies  said  weren't  to  l>e 
had. 

He  flung  his  money  into 
talent  auditions  in  city  after 
city.  He  haunted  theatres 
where  amateur  shows  were 
l)eing  given.  When  he  could 
think  of  nothing  else  to  do, 
he  roamed  the  streets. 

I^ady  Luck  was  pretty 
go<xl  to  him  at  times.  Con- 
sider his  remarkable  dis- 
covery of  Gypsie  Cooper, 
the  first  saxophonist  of  his 
group.  He  was  wandering 
down  a  street  in  Erie. 
Pennsylvania,  dejected,  almost  convinced  that  he 
never  would  l>e  able  to  round  out  the  orchestra. 

Suddenly  his  ear  caught  the  sound  of  a  saxophone 
playing  Weber's  intricate  "Concertina."  He  rushed 
to  the  house  from  which  the  music  was  coming  and 
knocked  on  the  door.    A  girl  answered. 

"Let  me  sjieak  to  the  man  who  was  playing  the 
saxophone,"  he  l>ahhled.  "I'm  looking  for  talent 
for  a  girl  orchestra  and  I  thought  he  might  know 
where  some  is." 

Gypsie  Cooper  hurst  out  laughing.  "I'm  the  man 
— I  mean,  the  girl — who  was  playing."

HAL  KEMP  owes  his  happiness  to  the  Prince  of 
Wales! 
Had  the  next  monarch  of  a  great  Empire  not 
taken  the  trouble  to  tell  this  lanky  lad  from  Alabam  to  go 
back  to  the  girl  he  loved  no  matter  what  the  cost,  some 
other  band  would  be  tooting  away  tonight  in  New  York's 
Hotel  Pennsylvania. 

The  Prince  of  Wales  was  captivated  by  Hal's  naive 
charm  as  thousands  of  other  radio  listeners  have  been. 
You  might  not  believe  that  this  much-burdened  Prince 
who  some  day  will  govern  the  destinies,  of  four  hundred 
and  eighty  million  people  could  figure  in  the  love  story 
of  Hal  Kemp  and  Betsy  Slaughter.     But  remember 


the  old  saying — "Truth  is  always  stranger  than  fiction!' 

Great  bands  aren't  born  behind  microphones,  they  art 
planned  by  ambitious  youngsters  on  road  trips  that  en- 
circle the  globe.  One  night  they  play  before  sailors  and 
gangsters  in  vast  dance  halls.  The  next  night  finds  them 
inveigling  gay  young  blades  and  devastating  debutantes 
to  trip  the  light  fantastic. 

Ten  years  ago  Hal  was  an  undergraduate  at  North 
Carolina  University.   Professors  frowned  on  the  Kemp  l 
scholastic  activities.    The  only  scales  he  studied  were 
musical  ones.    Let  the  other  fellows  become  doctors, 
lawyers,  and  bankers.  Hal  was  happy  only  when  his  slimi 
fingers  gripped  a  baton.

had  decreed  that  they  meet  this  way.  The  strange  hvpnosis

baton  when  the  band  had  stopped  playing!

HT  four  o'clock,  New  York  time,  each  Wednesday 
afternoon,  there  is  a  strain  of  music  and  a  door 
opens.  .  .  .  And  into  the  homes  of  a  million  women 
the  world  enters,  a  radiant  world,  a  world  of  gay 
and  gentle  happenings.  An  orchestra  plays.  Beautiful 
voices  sing.  A  man  or  a  woman  high 
in  the  headlines  speaks.  Dullness  in 
shack  and  chalet  is  plowed  under  for 
a  half  hour  of  entertainment. 

A  woman  weaves  together  the  pat- 
tern of  informality  and  friendliness. 
She  is  .  Claudine  Macdonald,  an- 
nouncer, hostess  and  mistress  of  cere- 
monies of  The  Women's  Radio  Re- 
view. A  chic,  small,  handsome 
woman,  she  has  the  distinction  of 
being  for  many  years  the  only  woman 
announcer  in  the  networks,  and  also 
the    only    mistress    of  ceremonies. 

Talking  into  the  mike  is  the  small- 
est part  of  Claudine's  job.  She 
writes  every  word  of  her  own  ma- 
terial. And  when  speakers  on  her 
program  are  tired  or  overworked,  they  give  her  brief 
notes  on  what  they  want  to  say  and  she  writes  their 
speeches  for  them. 

Another  difficult  part  of  her  job  is  getting  the  celebri- 
ties for  her  program.  First  they  have  to  be  located. 
Then  the  idea  must  be  sold  to  them — which  isn't  easy, 
because  most  of  them  are  very  busy  people.  Next  a 
subject  must  be  selected  for  them.  And  then  they  must 
be  got  to  the  studio  on  time.  But  Claudine  is  equal  to 
that.  She  has  been  presenting  headliners  for  four  years 
now,  four  times  a  week. 

Then  there  is  the  music  to  be  considered.    For  ex-

the  rough  log  schoolhouse  to  sniff  the  earthy,  piney  air 
of  Spring  in  the  Bluegrass  country.  His  worn  pants 
strained  at  their  patches  as  be  bent  to  pick  up  a  stone  to 
shy  at  a  tree.    He  turned  and  trotted  into  school. 

A  stout  lad.  young  Kincaid.  He  wouldn't  be  as  tall  as 
his  strapping  father  had  been,  the  mountain  folk  pre- 
dicted, but  he'd  be  a  mighty  strong  fellow  just  the  same. 
His  father  had  l>een  a  mountaineer  after  the  hearts  of 
the  Bluegrass  folk.  A  fine  hunter.  A  man  who  loved 
the  music  of  the  mountains.

a  battered  old  guitar.  He  had  traded  the  dog  with  a 
negro  for  the  Kincaid  family's  first  musical  instrument. 
On  it  he  played  the  songs  Bradley's  mother  had  been 
singing  to  the  lad  from  his  birth.  They  named  it  the 
Houn'  Dawg  Guitar. 

Then  Bradley's  father  died,  but  he  left  a  fine  heritage 
for  the  Ixdv — a  stout  heart  and  a  love  of  mountain  folk

and  his  brother  were  l>eing  hard  put  to  it  to  keep  them-

He  turned  to  see  how  much  corn  was  in  the  hopper  of

GREETINGS  friends  and  Radio  fans: 
At  the  home  of  a  well  known  orchestra  leader  the 
other  evening  we  were  listening  to  a  new  All-Wave 
Radio  set. 

"You  see,"  our  host  informed  us,  suiting  the  action  to 
the  words,  "just  a  couple  of  turns  of  the  dial  and  1  can 
get  Barcelona,  Paris,  London — why  I  can  listen  in  on  the 
whole  world  right  here  in  my  own  living-room  I" 

"Well,"  I  replied  laughing,  "I  discovered  the  other  day 
how  to  achieve  that  same  international  atmosphere  just 
by  tuning  in  on  the  'Silken  Strings'  program  every  Sun-

"  'Silken  Strings' — why  that  doesn't  come  from  abroa

"Spanish,  isn't  she?"  inquired  one  of  the  other  guest 
giving  me  the  excuse  I  was  seeking  to  launch  into 
description  of  Countess  Albani's  charm,  good  looks  ai

Yes,  Olga  Maria  Aurora,  Countess  Medolago-Albai

Spanish  parents.  But  her  family  left  Spain  when  si 
was  but  five  years  old,  so  she  was  educated  in  the  Unit<

a  typical  American  boy  and,  further  to  carry  out  the  ii

WITH  THEIR  BACK! 
TO  THE  WALL 


Trouble  cannot  defeat  these  radio  star 

By  OGDEN  MAYER

RADIO  stars  are  just  natural-born 
receiving  sets  for  trouble.  But  they 
can  take  it.  If  anything,  they  thrive 
on  it.  They  have,  many  of  them, 
had  their  backs  to  the  wall,  but  out 
of  suffering  came  the  will  to  succeed, 
the  talent  purified  by  pain. 

Questioning  in  and  around  the 
studios  has  brought  forth  tales  of 
sickness,  accident,  incredible  poverty, 
heart-break — tough  breaks  of  every 
sort,  all  accepted  by  the  stars  and 
taken  in  their  stride. 

For  instance,  Alexander  Gray,  the 
baritone,  lost  his  wife,  who  was 
burned  to  death,  and  his  child,  killed 
in  an  automobile  accident,  both  in 
the  same  year.  Buoyant,  companion- 
able before,  he  became  for  a  time 
unapproachable,  moody,  a  recluse. 
He's  come  out  of  it  now  but  you  can 
recognize  the  scar,  in  his  singing, 


which  is  far  tenderer  than  it  \v 
before. 

Alice  Faye  also  suffered  from  ; 
automobile  accident.  She  told  nj 
the  worst  period  of  her  life  was  tl 
four  days  that  followed  her  smas 
up  in  a  car  in  which  Rudy  Vail' 
and  several  others  were  riding.  SI 
said : 

"I  was  the  only  one  hurt.  Bad 
banged  up.  I  was  asleep.  Relaxe 
I  offered  no  resistance.  I  woke  i 
in  a  hospital.  My  face  was  ba 
daged.    I  asked  for  a  mirror." 

But  the  request  was  refused.  Si 
was  told  that  her  face  was  slight 
cut — an  injury  of  no  consequenc 
She  thought  the  doctor  was  decei 
ing  her.  She  pleaded  with  him  t<

Spanish  woman.    A  not  unfriendly  reserve. 

Fortunately  it  was  not  too  difficult  to 
overcome  this  tendency  towards  aloofness 
on  her  part  because  we  had  a  common 
meeting  ground  in  our  mutual  interest  in 
good  things  to  eat. 

"Yes,  I  love  delicious  food  and  I  really 
do  know  how  to  cook,"  Countess  Albani 
assured  me.  "When  I  was  a  child  our  fam- 
ily had,  for  years,  a  cook  who  used  to  con- 
coct the  most  delectable  dishes  in  the  world. 
I  practically  haunted  her  kitchen,  which 
was  silently  but  sincerely  resented  at  first. 
The  idea  of  a  novice  invading  her  sacred 
precincts,  she  seemed  to  be  thinking.  But 
then  she  discovered  that  I  was  truly  in- 
terested in  what  went  into  a  dish — that  I 
enjoyed  cooking,  not  merely  tasting.  Ah, 
that  then  was  different !  And  so  she  took 
great  delight  in  teaching  me. 

"Spanish  people,  you  know,"  the  Countess 
went  on,  warming  to  her  subject,  "are  pop- 
ularly befieved  to  live  entirely  on  such 
things  as  Tamales  and  Chili  Con  Came. 
In  the  first  place  T amales  are  not  Spanish, 
they  are  Mexican.  And  Chili  Con  Came, 
which  was  Mexican,  too,  originally,  now  is 
such  a  hybrid  that  it  does  not  belong  to 
any  nation.  Meats,  however,  play  a  very 
important  part  in  the  Spanish  menu.  And 
my  cooking  specialties  naturally  include 
many  meat  and  chicken  dishes.  I  think  the 
high  point  of  my  culinary  career  was 
reached  when  I  learned  to  make  Arroz  con 
Polio — which  is  a  typically  Spanish  Rice 
and  Chicken  dish. 

"The  time  when  I  most  enjoy  indulging 
my  taste  for  cooking  is  after  my  broad- 
i  casts.  Then  out  comes  my  chafing  dish 
and  the  salad  bowl  and  I  display  my  cul- 
inary talents  for  the  benefit  of  my  friends. 
We  have  an  American  salad,  a  Welsh 
Rabbit,  Spanish  wine  and  toasted  French 
bread — truly  an  International  Alliance  of 
foods ! 

"But  let  us  return  to  our  typical  Spanish 
menus,  since  that  is  what  interests  you 
most."  continued  Madame  Albani,  obliging- 
ly. "Dinner  in  the  Spanish  manner  usually 
begins  and  ends  with  brandy.  No  cock- 
tails for  the  true  Spaniard — that  is  an 
American  innovation.  Some  however  pre- 
fer to  start  the  meal  with  sherry — a  typical 
Spanish  sherry  such  as  Domecq. 

"After  the  brandy  or  sherry  come  the 
hors  d'oeuvres — hearts  of  artichoke,  mar- 
velous sausages,  eggs  and  anchovies. 
Spanish  olives,  of  course !  This  is  followed 
by  a  delicious  soup  with  lots  of  Spanish 
beans  in  it,  or  a  garlic  soup  with  crou- 
tons. On  days  of  fasting,  such  as  Fridays 
and  special  days  in  Lent,  a  soup  of  fish  and 
vegetables  is  a  great  favorite. 

"Following  the  soup  comes  the  main 
course,  if  it  is  to  be  a  simple  meal.  A 
formal  or  company  dinner  might  include 
another  course  here,  such  as  a  fish  or  ome- 
lette. The  main  course,  let  us  say,  is 
Arroz  con  Polio,  (Rice  with  Chicken). 
Accompaning  this  there  would  be  a  red 
Land  Wine  and  string  beans.  No  salad, 
if  we  wish  to  be  typically  Spanish,  for 
salad  is  not  a  popular  Spanish  course.  For 


dessert — let  me  see — ah,  yes,  Royal  Ycj 
—urn!     Delicious!     Coffee?    Of  cour 
Not  large  cups,  however,  but  tiny  c 
of  egg-shell  texture,  filled  with  rich,  v 
strong,  black  coffee,  followed  by  brai 
as  I  said  before,  or  some  sweet  liquet] 
"This  menu  really  represents  a  Spj 
ish  meal  at  its  very  simplest.    In  the  a\ 
one  often  is  called  upon  to  cat  one's  \ 
through  an  eleven-course  lunch — not  < 
ner,  mind  you,  lunch! 

"But  let's  return  to  the  dinner  m-j 
and  the  wonderful  dishes  you  described, 
interrupted.  "I  do  so  want  to  know  h 
to  make  Arroz  con  Polio — that  chicl 
dish  you  spoke  of  in  such  glowing  ten 
— and  I  know  my  readers  would  be  ( 
terestcd  to  hear  how  to  make  any  dess| 
that  bears  so  intriguing  a  name  as  'RoJ 
Yolks'  ". 

"The  first  thing  to  mention  about  Spat 
foods,"  replied  Olga  Albani  smiling.  | 
that  they  require  patience,  for  in  cookj 
as  in  everything  else,  Spanish  people  t;j 
their  own  sweet  time.  To  my  way  I 
thinking,  of  course,  the  results  more  tlj 
justify  the  effort  expended.  Perhaps  .M 
think  my  opinion  is  biased  by  my  herital 
but  I've  noticed  that  the  most  typil 
American  eats  the  dishes  I  prepare  wl 
as  much  relish  as  any  native  of  Sp;; 
That  is  because  Spanish  dishes  are,  f  j 
of  all,  delicious  in  taste.  Secondly  til 
are  attractive  to  look  at,  for  we  go  I 
for  color  in  our  combinations — saffron  i 
our  rice  to  make  it  a  vivid,  appetiz 
yellow,  with  green  peas,  pink  shrimps,  I 
pimento  and  green  olives  added  to. I<| 
color  contrast  as  well  as  to  impart  fla\ 
A  combination  of  such  foods  as  I  h.  t, 
just  mentioned  is  what  gives  Arroz  il 
Polio  its  distinctive  taste.  I  will  write 
the  recipe  for  you  so  that  no  detail  \  \ 
be  omitted.  Above  all  I  want  to  remem  I 
to  tell  you  how  to  cook  the  rice  so  ti 
each  grain  stands  out  by  itself!  No  som 
mass  of  rice  is  permissible  for  this  perf 
main  course  treat. 

"The  recipe  for  Royal  Yolks  is  one  t 
will  delight  you.  Spaniards  are  very  f( 
of  this  type  of  sweet. 

"Now  let  us  write  down  our  menu 
a  typical  Spanish  repast  so  that  we  < 
see  if  there  are  any  other  recipes  you  wo- 
like  to  have,"  suggested  the  Counte 
kindly.  And  out  came  the  paper  and  p' 
cil,  which  eventually  produced  the  folio 
ing  appetizing  menu  and  recipes  for  m 
of  the  principal  dishes  mentioned.

[SUCH  GOOD 
SPAGHETTI  !  WHERE 
DID  YOU  GET  THE 
RECIPE  ? 


What  a  surprise  when  I 
tasted  its  marvelous  sauce! 


"t'd  always  felt  that  no  ready-cooked 
1  spaghetti  could  ever  come  up  to 
the  home-cooked  kind.  But  I  certainly 
changed  my  mind  when  I  tasted  Franco- 
American.  What  a  delicious  sauce  it 
has  — mine  simply  can't  compare  with 
it.  Can  you  wonder  I  always  serve 
Franco  -  American  now?  It 
means  less  work  for  me  and 
better  spaghetti  for  all  of  us." 

Franco- American  isn't  the 
ordinary  ready-cooked  spa- 
ghetti. One  taste  will  tell  you 
how  different  it  is.  Its  sauce 
contains  eleven  different  in- 


gredients. Luscious,  flavorful  tomatoes 
.  .  choice  Cheddar  cheese  .  .  delicately 
piquant  spices  and  seasonings  .  . 
blended  by  the  skilled  hand  of  the 
trained  chef  into  a  delectably  smooth, 
rich, savory  sauce  that  good  home  cooks 
declare  is  the  best  they  ever  tasted. 

N\-  cooking  or  fussing;  sim- 
ply heat  and  serve.  Saves  time 
and  money,  too.  You  never  pay 
more  than  ten  cents  for  a  can 
holding  three  to  four  portions 
—  less  than  it  costs  to  buv 
dry  spaghetti  and  other  ingre- 
dients and  prepare  at  home!

Shake  Hands  with 
a  Winner 

{Continued  from  page  39) 

i  memory  of  that  that  sobered  me.  But 
when  1  finally  reached  the  theater,  I  was 
three  days  late ! 

"Then  there  was  the  time  in  Boston 
when  I  stopped  for  'just  one'  on  the  wax- 
to  the  theater,  and  the  'just  one'  turned 
into  'just  one  more.'  When  I  came  out 
en  to  the  stage,  it  was  obvious  that  I  had 
heen  drinking,  and  1  was  fired.  Things 
were  pretty  bad  in  vaudeville  then,  and 
there  was  no  room  for  one  who  was  not 
dependable.  I  could  get  no  work  at  all. 
I  went  to  Hollywood  and  did  manage  to 
get  a  couple  of  parts  in  pictures.  But  I 
wasn't  getting  anywhere,  and  I  tried  to 
make  a  fresh  start  in  vaudeville. 

Finally,  in  Kansas  City,  I  broke  down. 
I  had  been  burning  the  candle  at  both 
ends,  and  there  just  wasn't  anything  left. 
I  was  ill  for  a  long  time  before  I  was 
well  enough  to  go  home  to  Mom.  Even 
then  I  had  to  stay  in  bed  most  of  the  time. 
There,  lying  about  the  house  with  kindly, 
dways  forgiving  Mom  waiting  on  me,  I 
legan  to  think.  One  day  I  tried  to  ex- 
ilain  to  Mom  all  that  had  happened,  and 
isk  her  to  forgive  me. 

"'Forgive  what?'  she  said.  'Why,  you 
X>or  boy,  there's  nothing  to  forgive !  It's 
ust  your  father  comin'  out  in  you.'  " 
"I  broke  down  and  cried  like  a  baby. 
"But  right  then  and  there  I  put  the  past 
>ehind  me  forever.  Memories,  Every- 
hing.  That  day  I  started  all  over  again, 
t  had  taken  me  years  to  make  the  grade 
>efore.  You  know,  I  was  a  song  plugger 
or  Irving  Berlin  when  my  peculiar  voice, 
vhich  had  been  made  that  way  when  I 
vas  gassed  in  the  war,  attracted  the  atten- 
tion of  a  Victor  scout  and  I  became  a 
ecording  artist.  Well,  that  climb  wasn't 
asy,  and  it  took  a  long  while,  as  I  said. 
"I  guess  this  second  climb  will  be 
arder  and  maybe  it  will  take  longer.  But 
lat  doesn't  worry  me.  I'll  make  it.  You 
atch  !" 

When  Jack  speaks  of  his  comeback,  he 
jesn't  seem  to  realize  that  he  is  already 
long  way  up  the  ladder  again.  He 
peaks  as  though  he  were  only  beginning, 
reminded  him  of  his  current  success  on 
ie  radio.    He  beamed  appreciatively. 

'Well,  maybe  Jack  Smith's  licked  Jack 
mith,"   he   laughed.     He   extended  his 
and  across  the  table.    "Shake  with  the 
inner."  he  invited. 
We  shook  on  it.  .  .  .

MONEY'S  WORTH" 


I'VE  found  that  the 
amazingly  low  first  cost 
of  Clopay  window  shades  is 
only  part  of  the  saving.  They  stay  presentable 
much  longer  .  .  .  never  crack,  ravel  or  pinhole 
as  ordinary  shades  do.  Besides,  they  hang  and 
roll  straight  so  that  edges  don't  get  scuffed  up. 
Attach  to  old  rollers  with  a  patented  gummed 
strip — no  tacks  or  tools!  And  how  handsome 
they  are,  either  in  plain  colors  or  those  attrac- 
tive chintz-like  patterns."  No  wonder  millions 
prefer  CLOPAYS  even  when  they  can  afford 
costlier  shades!  Buy  Clopays  at  all  5-and-10e 
stores  and  most  neighborhood  stores.  Send  3c 
for  color  samples  to  CLOPAY  CORP.,  1399

Fabray  is  a  new  and  entirely  revolutionary 
product — made  on  tough,  solid  fibre  instead  of 
cheesecloth  backing.  New  lovely  patterns — 
in  standard  table  and  shelf  widths.  See

(Con  I  in  tied  from  f>a<ic  6) 


Came  a  billing  at  the  Palace  Theatre, 
whose  seal  of  approval  was  the  making  of 
anyone  who  won  it.  Up  to  this  time  no 
one  knew  Freddie  Rich  from  Adam  and 
he  might  have  remained  unknown  had  not 
Eva  had  a  brilliant  idea. 

"Young  man,"  she  said  one  day  at  re- 
hearsal, "have  you  a  dress  suit?" 

Surprised,  Freddie  admitted  that  he 
never  had  owned  one. 

"Well,  get  one  right  away/'  Miss  Tan- 
guay  went  on,  "and  charge  it  to  me." 

"What  for?''  asked  the  perplexed 
Freddie. 

"You  are  going  to  get  out  in  front  and 
lead." 

"Hut — but — I — "  stammered  Freddie. 

"No  'buts,'  young  man.  Uo  you  want 
to  stick  in  the  pit  all  your  life?"  was  Eva's 
parting  shot  as  she  whisked  off  the  stage. 

Freddie  decided  he  did  not.  He  felt  a 
trifle  wobbly  when  he  first  mounted  the 
stand  in  his  new  outfit  but  he  got  through 
the  act  and  took  a  few  bows — and  has 
kept  right  on  taking  them. 

Did  you  ever  feel  that  you  were  staying 
on  a  job  too  long  for  your  own  good,  but 
being  in  a  comfortable  berth  you  hated  to 
make  the  break?  Ferde  Grofe  faced  just 
such  a  situation.  He  lived  in  the  West 
when  that  wild  and  barbaric  music  was 
surging  up  the  Barbary  Coast,  jazz  in  its 
first  form.  Like  a  school  boy  bagging 
butterflies,  Grofe  bagged  these  strains  and 
jotted  them  down  on  the  backs  of  envelopes 
and  menu  cards. 

Then  in  1919  he  began  putting  them  to- 
gether and  making  the  first  written  ar- 
rangements in  the  new  jazz  idiom.  When 
Paul  Whiteman  heard  them  a  year  later, 
he  grabbed  Grofe  for  his  band.  From  that 
moment  on,  for  twelve  years,  Ferde  Grofe 
dressed  up  almost  every  piece  Whiteman 
played.  The  two  of  them  built  the  most 
famous  jazz  combination  in  history.  Grofe 
wrote  it,  Whiteman  played  it. 

When  the  Jazz  King  gave  his  first 
epoch-making  New  York  concert,  he  asked 
George  Gershwin  to  write  a  number  for  it, 
but  "Rhapsody  in  Blue"  would  never  have 
reached  first  base  without  Ferde  Grofe's 
gorgeous  orchestral  setting.  He  worked 
with  Gershwin  six  hours  a  day  for  ten 
days  on  the  opus.  He  also  persuaded 
Gershwin  to  put  in  the  slow  E  major 
theme,  the  most  beautiful  part  of  the  whole 
piece  which  Whiteman  still  uses  as  a 
signature. 

Grofe  got  no  credit  for  Rhapsody  in 
Blue  which  heaped  fame  and  gold  in 
Gershwin's  lap.  True,  he  was  making 
eight  hundred  dollars  a  week  and  taking 
the  stand  at  rehearsals.  There  were  plans 
afoot  for  organizing  his  own  band  under 
the  Whiteman  banner.  Why  shouldn't  he 
be  content?  But  how  would  you  feel  if 
some  one  else  wras  winning  most  of  the 
glory  for  work  you  did? 

Then  the  depression  settled  matters. 
Plans  for  another  band  were  out  and  the 
composer  of  the  Grand  Canyon  Suite  was 
given  a  seventy-five  per  cent,  salary  cut. 
Wouldn't  you  have  done  just  what  Grofe 
did — say  goodbye?  I  think  that  you  would! 


From  the  time  he  was  a  boy  Andrl 
Kostelanetz  dreamed  of  being  an  operl 
conductor.  To  hold  players  and  singerl 
subservient  to  the  merest  motion  of  hil 
hand — what  a  thrill !  He  longed  to  swal 
this  kingly  scepter.  But  he  didn't  dare  te  I 
anyone.  He  was  so  small— and  conductor  •! 
should  be  tall — he  would  be  laughed  at  I 
So  he  kept  it  to  himself.  But  he  stool 
in  front  of  a  mirror  long  into  the  nigh  I 
baton  in  hand,  and  went  through  the  mc| 
tions  of  conducting  bulky  scores  he  hal 
arranged.  Then  came  the  eventful  dajfl 
It  was  a  warm  Spring  day  and  he  wa| 
walking  on  the  outskirts  of  a  Russian  tow  I 
with  Aslanoff,  an  influential  opera  conl 
ductor  of  his  time.  Suddenly  young  Andrl 
stopped  in  the  middle  of  the  viaduct  the  ! 
were  crossing.  Now  or  never,  he  thought! 
Screw  ing  up  his  courage  he  blurted  out  J 
"I  want  to  be  a  conductor!" 

Instead  of  the  laugh  he  expected,  th  I 
veteran   surveyed   him   in   as   though  h  I 
doubted  his  sanity.    "Take  my  advice,"  hi 
began,  "and  forget  it.    You  are  doing  well 
enough  as  you  are  and  don't  realize  whal 
grief  you  are  letting  yourself  in  for.  Jusl 
the  other  day  one  of  the  singers  at  th  I 
opera  threatened  to  commit  suicide  unlesl 
I  let  her  sing  Carmen.    Bickering,  back  I 
biting,  jealousy,  hatred,  that's  what  goe  I 
with  this  job.    The  man  you  see  out  fronl 
is  not  the  man  who  does  the  real  work  a  I 
rehearsal,  tearing  his  hair  out  and  almosfl 
going  insane  trying  to  get  the  effects  h 
wants.  He's  called  a  slave  driver,  a  demor 
everybody  hates  him.     Don't  go  in  fo 
that.    Learn  to  score  and  write  music,  b 
an  arranger,  a  composer,  be  anything  bu 
a  conductor." 

Did  this  discouraging  talk  dent  th> 
dream  of  young  Andre?  Not  at  all.  Whei 
Aslanoff  saw  the  youth  was  determined,  h< 
began  throwing  opportunities  his  way  tc 
conduct  at  rehearsals.  Finally  a  competi 
tion  was  announced  to  select  an  assistan 
conductor  at  the  Petrograd  Opera  House 
Kostelanetz  competed  with  fifteen  other: 
and  won. 

In  America  his  arranging  ability  wa: 
the  opening  wedge  to  radio.  But  he  hac 
to  become  a  radio  conductor  to  build 
name  known  from  coast  to  coast. 

Sophie  Tucker  and  Rudy  Yallee  wen 
Dick  Himber's  lucky  breaks.  While  stil 
in  High  School  he  made  some  arrange- 
ments and  sent  them  to  Sophie  Tucker 
The  lady  liked  them  and  sent  for  Dick 
The  usual  argument  with  the  home  folks 
occurred  and  Dick  ran  away  to  join  the 
Tucker  orchestra  as  violinist  and  arranger 

In  1930  Rudy  Vallee  signed  the  stil! 
struggling  Dick  for  one  of  his  bands  and 
he  wound  up  by  booking  the  Vallee  bands. 
It  was  a  lucrative  job,  but  he  figured  that 
if  he  could  break  in  with  a  new  band  in 
1933,  the  low  spot  of  the  depression,  he 
was  made.  Staking  all  he  could  scrape 
together  on  the  venture,  he  worked  like  a 
slave  making  his  own  arrangements  and 
by  such  departures  as  a  harp  interlude, 
between  numbers,  he  crashed  through ! 

Johnny  Green  always  had  plenty  of 
nerve.    But  there  was  one  other  trait  )" 


RADIO  STARS 


Johnny's  make-up  that  saved  the  day  when 
he  got  his  chance.  It  came  when  he  took 
the  job  as  assistant  arranger  with  Adolnh 
Deutsch  at  the  Paramount  Studios  in 
Astoria.  Here  Frank  Tours,  the  director, 
gave  him  a  few  tryouts  on  the  stand  and 
taught  him  some  baton  fundamentals. 

"Even  then,"  said  Johnny,  "I  realized  I 
was  pretty  raw  and  could  never  bluff  with 
these  experienced  players,  most  of  whom 
had  forgotten  more  than  I  ever  knew." 

Here's  what  saved  Johnny.  He  had  the 
courage  to  admit  when  he  was  wrong.  In- 
stead of  glossing  over  a  boner  or  blaming 
it  on  someone  else,  as  other  neophytes 
have  done  to  their  regret,  be  simply 
stopped  everything  and  said  :  "I'm  sorry, 
how  should  I  beat  that?" 

Naturally  the  men  were  for  him.  Johnny 
is  going  places.  But  he  still  claims  that 
he  does  not  know  it  all,  and  that  is  a  great 
help  to  him. 

Sometimes  we  are  forced  to  a  quick 
decision  which  means  either  backing  down 
entirely  or  doing  the  impossible.  If  we 
take  the  chance  of  doing  the  impossible, 
and  win,  fame  lies  just  around  the  corner. 
If  we  lose  .... 

Leopold  Stokowsky  took  the  chance. 
After  playing  the  organ  in  the  fashionable 
St.  Bartholomew  Church  in  New  York, 
he  used  to  spend  his  summers  in  London. 
Here  he  began  directing  orchestras  and 
here  he  made  a  decision  which  brought  him 
fame  overnight  and  whisked  him  to  the 
solitary  peak  where  he  stands  alone  as  a 
conductor  able  to  command  a  salary  in  six 
figures. 

He  w:as  about  to  conduct  the  London 
Symphony  Orchestra  in  a  concert  at 
Queen's  Hall.  This  was  before  he  had 
taken  charge  of  the  Philadelphia  orchestra. 
Absorbed  in  going  over  the  program,  he 
got  out  of  the  cab  bringing  him  to  the 
hall  and  went  in  by  the  stage  entrance, 
when  suddenly  he  discovered  that  he  had 
left  all  of  his  scores  in  the  departing  taxi 
which  had  pulled  out  and  lost  itself  in  the 
traffic !  To  try  to  find  the  music  in  the 
twenty  minutes  he  bad  before  ascending 
the  stand  would  be  foolish  and  futile ;  to 
locate  other  music  like  his  just  as  futile. 
Should  he  back  out  and  turn  the  baton 
lover  to  some  other  conductor?  No.  He 
would  take  a  desperate  chance. 
|    He  would  go  on  without  a  note  of  music. 

Taking  the  stand,  he  conducted  the  en- 
tire concert  from  memory.  Just  imagine 
.what  an  amazing  feat  this  was — to  re- 
member every  note  played  the  whole  eve- 
ning by  eighty-five  instrumentalists.  But 
the  did  it  and  something  significant  hap- 
pened. 

j  Freed  from  the  necessity  of  turning 
pages,  both  hands  went  into  the  air.  The 
men  were  hypnotized  by  these  hands  and 
gave  all  they  had  in  the  performance. 
Thunderous  applause  greeted  each  number. 
}  After  the  concert  stories  began  filtering 
iome  about  this  remarkable  young  Apollo 

Avho  did  not  use  a  stick  or  a  note  of 
nusic,  who  sculptured  tonal  friezes  out  of 

i!the  air  with  his  two  hands.  Returning 
iome  he  made  the  Philadelphia  orchestra 

pne  of  the  greatest  symphonic  bodies  in 
the  world.  But  if  he  had  not  left  that 
nusic  in   the  cab,  he  might   have  been 

liust  another  stick  waver,  his  nose  buried 
\n  the  score,  beating  time.

Should  Brunettes  use 
Brunette  Powder? 

Optical  Machine  Gives  Surprising  Answer 


Yes  and  No! 

Nothing  could  be  more  foolish  than 
for  a  girl  to  choose  her  face  powder  by 
the  color  of  her  hair!  Some  of  the 
blackest  hair  is  found  with  very  w  hite 
skin.  Some  girls  with  brown-black  hair 
have  a  muddy  skin  which  needs  to  be 
cleared  up.  Others  are  pale.  Their  skin 
needs  to  be  warmed  up. 

With  an  optical  machine  Pond's 
color-tested  the  skin  of  over  200  girls. 
They  found  that  blonde  skin  owes  its 
transparent  beauty  to  hidden  notes  of 
brilliant  blue  in  it— brunette  skin  owes 
its  allure  to  hidden  tints  of  bright  grten. 
They  blended  these  tints  invisibly  in  the 
new  Pond's  shades.  Now  every  girl  can 
find  the  powder  that  will  give  her  skin 
the  lively  look  it  lacks. 

If  you  are  dissatisfied  with  your  skin, 
try  these  new  Pond's  shades — 

Rose  Cream  — lovely  on  many  clear- 
skinned  brunettes 
Brunette— a  wholly  new  brunette  shade

on  photography  as  a  career  for  young 
women.  She  develops  laryngitis.  Mrs. 
Macdonald  pinch  hits.  Taking  the  speech, 
she  explains  into  the  mike  that  her  guest 
has  a  bad  throat,  ad  libs  between  para- 
graphs read  from  the  manuscript,  and  gets 
over  to  the  audience  the  impression  that 
this  has  been  an  interview. 

Speakers  drift  in  late,  get  lost,  or  do 
not  come  at  all.  A  few  come  on  time  and 
then  speak  for  twelve  instead  of  eight 
minutes,  knocking  the  program  schedule 
out  of  kilter.  Phil  Stong,  author  of 
"State  Fair,''  crept  into  the  studio  a  half- 
hour  early,  quaking  with  nervous  dread  of 
the  broadcast.  Claudine.  hostess  supreme, 
took  him  by  the  arm  and  showed  him  the 
studios,  the  buildings,  the  engine-room.  He 
became  so  engrossed  he  forgot  his  fear 
and  his  talk  was  delightfully  smooth. 

During  her  own  pioneer  days  as  pro- 
gram director  Claudine  found  herself  one 
day  at  the,  program's  end,  with  the  script 
completed,  the  orchestra's  pages  of  music 
finished — and  two  minutes  to  go!  What 
could  she  do?  She  spoke  rapidly  of  this, 
that  and  the  other. 

"There  wasn't  a  sound  in  the  studio  but 
my  own  voice,"  she  told  me.  "Xpt  one  of 
the  boys  moved.  Rut  I  felt,  I  knew,  they 
were  rooting  for  me.  And  when  the 
chimes  finally  rang  the  end  of  the  period, 
they  applauded,  all  of  them.  I  hadn't  let 
them  down.  I  wanted  to  cry,  I  was  so 
happy  !" 

Another  day  an  important  Mexican 
speaker  is  secured.  The  music,  she  de- 
cides, must  be  Mexican.  What  to  do  for 
soloists?  She  thumbs  the  cards,  locates  a 
Mexican  tenor.  Who  else?  Yes,  she 
remembers  that  one  of  the  studio  orchestras 
has  a  Mexican  violinist  of  unusual  talent. 
She  telephones.  He  can  come.  The  music 
department  sends  down  a  list  of  Mexican 
compositions  for  the  orchestra  to  play. 
The  composers  are  unfamiliar  names. 
After  hours  of  reading  and  telephoning  she 
knows  and  is  ready  to  tell  you  about  them. 

An  extraordinary  woman,  this  dark-eyed 
Chicago  girl.  When  she  came  out  of 
Northwestern  University  her  classmates 
gave  her  an  American  Beauty  rose  to  in- 
dicate that  they  had  chosen  her  as  the 
most  beautiful  girl  in  the  class.  The  col- 
lege authorities,  for  their  parting  gift,  gave 
her  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  key  as  a  reward 
for  her  high  standing  in  scholarship. 

She  went  down  into  Oklahoma  to  teach 
Indians,  and  put  on  shows  with  Indian 
and  half-breed  actors — something  that 
never  before  had  been  done  successfully. 
She  explained  that  she  has  theatrical  blood 
in  her  veins,  her  father  having  starred  as 
a  singer  with  the  late  Lawrence  Barrett. 
He  could  span  three  and  a  half  octaves 
and  experts  called  his  one  of  the  finest 
voices  in  the  country.  Her  mother  was 
an  accomplished  musician. 

Returning  to  Northwestern  University 
two  years  later  she  took  a  course  in  dic- 
tion, did  dramatic  readings,  coached  ama- 
teur theatricals.  Then  East  for  a  spell 
with  a  stock  company  in  Pittsfield,  Massa- 
chusetts  and   one   in    Providence,  Rhode 


Island.    And  life  was  gay  and  interesting 

Just  about  that  time  the  stock  markt 
crashed,  and  Claudine's  lovely  head  rolle 
into  the  basket  along  with  a  few  millio 
others.  It  was  out  on  the  pavement*  fo 
her — and  pound,  in  an  effort  to  find  a  jot 
The  pavements  of  New  York  are  made  o 
an  especially  hard  and  nerve  shatterin 
material.  She  pounded  them  for  almost 
year.  She  haunted  advertising  agencie; 
radio  studios  and  all  individuals  or  com 
panies  that  might  help  her  to  a  start  i 
broadcasting. 

What  did  she  have  to  offer?  A  fin 
voice.  A  knowledge  of  diction.  Som 
training  on  the  stage.  Self-confidence  am 
an  inborn  sense  of  showmanship.  Also  ai 
enormous  capacity  for  work.  One  ma; 
whom  she  saw  said  that  her  broad  / 
would  be  a  handicap.  She  replied  tha 
the  use  of  the  broad  A  was  her  natura 
way  of  speaking.  She  would  be  affecte< 
if  she  spoke  differently.  Besides,  sh 
added,  she  had  got  along  famously  witl 
poor  Italian  women  when  she  was  doinj 
settlement  work,  why  not  with  ave^ag 
radio  audiences  who  are  of  a  far  mor 
sophisticated  element? 

At  length  she  got  her  opportunity  on  ; 
program  called:  "Adventures  in  Horn 
Making."  It  lasted  about  twelve  week 
and  then  came  another  jobless  period.  Oi 
May  4th.  1930.  the  Woman's  Radio  Re 
view  was  started  and  she  got  the  job.  Sh 
told  me  that  her  first  script  cost  he 
twenty  hours  of  continuous  labor. 

During  her  four  years  with  this  pro 
gram  she  has  acquired,  she  says,  "stupen 
dous  respect  for  the  innate  intelligence  o 
radio  audiences.  The  women  of  Amer 
ica,"  she  asserts,  "are  consumed  with  ; 
real  desire  to  know  about  things,  to  knov 
what  is  going  on  in  the  world ;  they  an 
hungry  for  culture,  for  programs  that  wil 
raise  them  above  their  surroundings. 

A  woman  living  in  a  sheet-iron  shant) 
on  the  plains  described  the  life  she  led  an< 
told  Mrs.  Macdonald  what  joy  she  de 
rived  from  the  talks  and  music,  how  the\ 
pierced  the  iron  walls  of  her  lonely  ex 
istence,  brought  companionship  and 
light. 

Another  woman  told  how  weary  she 
was  of  hearing  nothing  but  "recipes,  reci 
pes,  recipes,"  and  what  a  solace  it  was  b 
listen  to  a  program  that  took  it  for  grantee 
that  she  was  an  intelligent  human  being 

A  society  woman,  too  busy  to  read  books 
or  newspapers,  wrote  that  she  found  list- 
ening to  the  daily  talks  on  the  Review 
sufficient  to  keep  her  abreast  of  the  times. 
There  are  letters  from  naturalized  Ameri- 
cans expressing  tearful  gratitude  for  the 
folk  music  from  their  native  lands ;  awk- 
ward scribbles  from  the  blind;  letters  from 
business  men ;  and  one  from  a  wireless 
operator  on  an  oil  tanker. 

The  wireless  man  explained  that  he  was 
lying  in  his  bunk  when  the  Review  came 
in.  He  didn't  care  to  listen  to  a  woman's 
program  but  was  too  lazy  to  get  up  and 
turn  it  off.  Along  came  Mrs.  Mac- 
donald's  voice,  giving  a  faithful  descrip- 
tion of  life  as  it  is  lived  today  in  Win- 


RADIO  STARS 


Chester,  England.  Winchester  was  his 
birthplace  and  he  hadn't  been  there  for 
ten  years.  He  wrote  to  express  his  grat- 
itude. 

One  month  Mrs.  Macdonald  received 
twenty  thousand  of  these  letters— which  is 
indication  of  the  program's  popularity. 

If  the  Women's  Radio  Review  can  be 
summed  up  in  a  phrase,  it  must  be  de- 
scribed as  the  tea  party  supreme,  minus 
the  tea  and  minus  the  gossip !  That  is,  at 
all  events,  what  the  mistress  of  cere- 
monies strives  for.  She  seeks  to  build  up 
a  program  that  is  an  informal  afternoon 
of  entertainment  and  informative  talk, 
one  that  few  homes  ever  achieve  but  which 
all  homes  would  be  glad  to  have. 

Her  listeners  gather  the  impression  that 
Claudine  and  her  cohorts  are  having  a 
delightful  time.  Which  is  true.  It  is  a 
contagious  atmosphere  that  passes  through 
the  microphone  and  accounts  to  a  large  ex- 
tent for  the  program's  success.  Much  of 
it  is  due  to  her  great  amiability  and  under- 
standing. 

She  looks  well  in  gay  colors  and,  ordi- 
narily, the  darker  the  day  the  gayer  her 
gowns.  Little  imagining  that  her  choice 
of  clothes  was  under  observation  she  ap- 
peared at  the  studio  one  rainy  day  in  a 
black  dress. 

One  of  the  violinists  gazed  sadly  at  her 
as  he  went  to  his  place.  "Where's  the 
red  dress?"  he  asked  plaintively. 

Claudine  tells  good  naturedly  of  the 
spoofing  she  receives  when  now  and  then 
she  stumbles  over  a  word.  Once  she  said 
colo  poats  for  polo  coats  and  she  was 
razzed  for  weeks  by  the  musicians,  not  to 
mention  the  gentle  chiding  from  her  au- 
dience. 

Other  items  on  the  Review  come  and  go 
but  the  orchestra  is  always  with  her.  Cer- 
tain soloists,  too,  such  as  the  tenor,  Rich- 
ard Maxwell,  soprano  Lillian  Bucknam, 
and  Alma  Kitchell,  contralto. 

As  a  concluding  anecdote  in  this  story 
of  one  of  radio's  most  remarkable  women, 
let  me  tell  you  about  her  first  experience 
before  the  microphone. 

Like  all  others,  she  was  extremely  ner- 
vous. Then  at  last  her  turn  came  and  in 
she  marched  to  the  microphone.  Those 
were  the  days  when  speakers  had  a  way 
of  throwing  pages  of  manuscript  on  the 
studio  floor  as  rapidly  as  they  were  read 
through.  About  her  feet  was  a  litter  of 
papers  and  as  she  spoke  an  attendant  fum- 
bled about,  picking  them  up. 

His  mere  presence  was  enough  to  agi- 
tate her  but  to  make  matters  worse  he 
bumped  into  the  reading-stand.  It  would 
have  fallen  to  the  floor  had  she  not  had 
presence  of  mind  to  catch  it. 

There  she  stood,  mike  in  one  hand, 
reading-stand  in  the  other,  reading  her 
first  script  for  the  first  time  on  the  air! 
Curiously,  however,  the  little  episode 
quieted  her  nerves.  It  took  her  attention 
from  herself.  After  that  she  breezed  right 
along,  doing  a  good  job,  making  an  ex- 
cellent impression,  not  only  on  the  audi- 
ence but  on  the  studio  critics  who  were 
there  to  see  if  she  had  what  it  takes. 

They  decided  she  would  do — and  after 
four  years,  they  still  think  so.

pose  especially  for  Radio  Star's  beauty 
columns.  I  was  utterly  delighted  with 
them,  for  they  have  caught  much  of  her 
vivid  personality,  and  yet  give  us  some 
practical  demonstrations  in  acquiring  a 
youthful  figure. 

This  month  I'm  really  just  Miss  Rich's 
mouthpiece,  you  know.  And  what  a 
thoroughly  understanding  and  sympa- 
thetic adviser  she  is ! 

Most  of  us  are  hunting  for  magic  all 
our  lives,  for  easy  ways  to  be  successful 
and  beautiful  and  happy.  When  we're 
young  we  think  that  happiness  will  come 
to  us  right  out  of  the  clear  blue  sky; 
that  we  can  be  beautiful  if  we  find  just 
the  right  new  cream  or  powder  or  trick  of 
personality.  But  as  we  grow  older  we 
learn  that  things  don't  come  to  us  that 
way.  We  find  that  life  is  full  of  effort 
and  disappointment,  and  to  some  of  us  this 
is  tremendously  discouraging.  We  lose 
our  faith  in  magic  and  we  decide  that 
beauty  and  success  may  be  all  right  for 
some  people,  but  luck  evidently  is  against 
us  and  we  might  as  well  stop  trying. 

When  I  asked  Miss  Rich  what  I  could 
tell  women  for  her — women  who  are  a 
little  tired  and  discouraged  and  drab — 
she  thought  for  a  moment,  with  that  firm 
chin  of  hers  cupped  in  her  strong,  express- 
ive hands.  Then  she  said  slowly :  "I  wish 
you  would  tell  the  women  for  me  that 
this  whole  matter  of  beauty  lies  within 
themselves  to  a  larger  degree  than  they 
think.  A  woman  should  have  as  much  con- 
cern for  the  thoughts,  the  inner  expres- 
sions, that  she  puts  in  her  face  as  she 
does  for  the  things  she  puts  on  her  face. 
Every  once  in  a  while  she  should  let  her- 
self think  a  smile,  let  it  creep  from  the 
corners  of  her  mouth  to  her  eyes.  It  will 
act  as  a  sort  of  inward  and  outward  fa- 
cial." 

We  all  have  problems,  problems  of  the 
day  that  carry  over  into  the  sometimes 
torturous  night,  that  keep  our  minds 
running  around  like  squirrels  in  cages. 
Miss  Rich  has  known  as  many  of  those 
problems  as  the  rest  of  us.  She  has  gone 
to  bed  at  night  with  some  particularly 
perplexing  difficulty  facing  her  and  has 
found  the  morning  bringing  a  solution  of 
it  as  clear  as  daylight.  She  suggests  that 
the  best  possible  overnight  beauty  recipe  is 
the  complete  relaxation  of  body  and  mind 
before  going  to  sleep.  Sleep  on  your  prob- 
lems, but  don't  sleep  with  them.  Some- 
times you  get  tied  up  in  knots,  physically 
and  mentally.  You  get  tense  and  rigid 
and  _  your  face  unconsciously  assumes  a 
frown  of  concentration,  which  is  the  best 
wrinkle-forming  habit  in  the  world.  You'll 
sleep  your  wrinkles  in  instead  of  sleeping 
them  out !  So  relax,  mentally  smooth  away 
those  wrinkles  before  you  go  to  sleep,  and 


see  only  velvety  darkness  and  peace  be- 
fore you  drift  off  to  a  really  restful 
slumber. 

\\  hen  morning  comes  you're  more  ready 
to  accept  the  fact  that  life  is  a  glorious 
game  and  that  whether  you  win  or  lose 
there  is  magic  in  the  game  itself.  Exer- 
cises are  like  that.  They're  hard  work  if 
we  make  them  a  duty  to  be  hurried 
through  while  we  think  of  a  thousand 
and  one  other  duties  that  are  waiting 
for  us.  But  they  can  be  what  Miss  Kich 
makes  them,  a  game  that  calls  for  the 
exercising  of  smiles  as  well  as  muscles. 
She  makes  them  fun.  And  if  you  need  in- 
spiration to  make  them  just  that,  we  sug- 
gest that  you  keep  pinned  right  over  your 
mirror  the  picture  in  which  she  demon- 
strates her  favorite  exercise.  It  is  a  com- 
bination toe-touching,  hip-bending,  deep- 
breathing  exercise.  Inhale,  with  your 
arms  high  over  your  head;  exhale,  when 
you  swoop  downward.  And  if  you  need 
more  inspiration,  surely  Miss  Rich  in 
her  new  be-sprigged  gown  has  the  slim 
figure  lines  to  inspire  anyone  to  work  with 
a  will  to  achieve  them. 

Every  day  Miss  Rich  takes  a  walk,  and 
by  a  walk  I  don't  mean  a  few  blocks' 
jaunt,  I  mean  a  three-mile  walk.  She 
may  walk  to  her  studio  and  to  an  ap- 
pointment elsewhere,  or  she  may  walk 
just  for  the  recreation  of  it,  but  she  al- 
ways puts  in  her  three  miles  a  day.  She 
finds  that  walking  docs  things  for  you 
spiritually  as  well  as  physically.  Bother- 
some thoughts  get  ironed  out  as  you  swing 
along  in  a  brisk  stride,  taking  deep, 
rhythmic  breaths.  She  has  her  deep 
breathing  down  to  a  fine  rhythm ;  she 
takes  twenty  deep  breaths  to  a  New  York 
block.  Now,  let's  see.  it  takes  twenty 
New  York  blocks  to  make  a  mile,  so 
figure  up  her  deep  breathing  exercises  for 
the  day.  No  wonder  she  keeps  splendidly 
well  and  has  that  serene  poise  that  comes 
with  inner  calm ! 

Young  people  should  exercise  because 
their  bodies  crave  it.  and  their  minds 
need  it  for  balance.  Older  people  should 
exercise  because  they  stagnate  by  inches 
if  they  don't,  and  they  age  by  increased 
inches,  too.  The  hips  take  on  the  middle- 
aged  spread ;  the  chin  does  a  middle-aged 
sag.  The  waste  deposits  in  the  system,  be- 
cause they  are  put  there  too  fast  and  too 
regularly  for  nature  to  get  rid  of  them, 
bring  about  a  lazy  distaste  for  moving. 
Keep  exercising,  walk  a  bit.  swim  a  bit, 
dance  a  bit,  play  with  the  children  of  the 
granchildren.  And  take  at  least  ten  deep 
breaths  before  the  open  window  every 
morning  and  again  at  night. 

Now  for  breakfast.  And  there  is  Miss 
Rich,  entrancing  in  her  new  bedroom 
jacket  from  Paris,  already  seated  at  her

charming  orcakfast  table.  Well,  we  can't 
all  have  Parisian  bedroom  jackets,  but 
we  can  all  have  grapefruit!  Miss  Rich 
has  some  form  of  citrus  fruit  every  morn- 
ing for  breakfast. 

Which  of  you  is  guilty  of  eating  a 
large  breakfast,  and  then  slumping  over 
the  table,  or  in  an  easy  chair,  and  reading 
the  morning  papers?  The  guaranteed  way 
to  put  on  flabby  flesh  is  to  eat,  and  then 
sit  around  or  lie  around !  You're  tempt- 
ing all  the  middle-aged  fat  devils  to  grin 
over  you  in  triumph  if  you  do!  Get  up 
and  walk  around  your  chair,  if  you  can't 
do  anything  better,  but  get  up  and  get 
into  action.  It  is  Miss  Rich's  infallible 
rule  to  take  a  walk  or  a  few  exercises 
after  every  meal.  It  should  be  your  in- 
fallible rule  to  do  the  same,  unless  you 
have  little  folks  to  wait  on  who  scarcely 
give  you  a  chance  to  sit  down  to  eat. 

The  middle  of  the  day  doesn't  see  Miss 
Rich  sitting  down  to  a  dinner-sized 
luncheon;  she  contents  herself  with  a 
salad,  and  possibly  a  glass  of  grape  juice 
which,  by  the  way,  is  an  excellent  pep 
drink.  Dinner  is  in  moderation,  with 
fresh  vegetables  welcome  and  white  bread 
taboo. 

Well,  I  guess  that  outlines  our  youthful 
figure  routine  in  full  so  let's  sit  ourselves 
down  in  front  of  the  dressing-table,  and 
talk  for  just  a  moment  about  powder. 
Naturally  I  couldn't  get  through  an  en- 
tire article  without  interjecting  some  per- 
sonal observation  of  my  own.  I'm  like 
a  powder  box  that  has  to  spill  over  every 
once  in  a  while  in  spite  of  itself.  But 
I  just  read  a  booklet  the  other  day  that 
I  thought  you  should  know  about,  and  the 
picture  of  Miss  Rich  at  her  dressing-table 
made  me  want  to  complete  the  story  with 
a  dressing-table  hint.  It  is  the  only  book- 
let of  its  kind  that  I've  ever  known,  for 
it  devotes  itself  in  a  thoroughly  capable 
fashion  solely  to  the  art  of  powdering.  It 
tells  you  about  modeling  your  face  with 
powder,  about  softening  your  too-promi- 
nent features  and  emphasizing  the  ones 
that  aren't  prominent  enough ;  it  outlines 
in  detail  the  exact  technique  of  powder- 
ing, and  no  slap-dash  business  about  it. 
The  booklet  is  a  definitely  authoritative 
little  study  in  powder  make-up,  and  a 
copy  of  it  should  be  on  every  woman's 
dressing-table.  I've  been  promised  a 
supply  of  as  many  copies  as  all  your  com- 
bined dressing-tables  will  need.  So  send  in 
the  coupon  that  is  here  for  your  conveni- 
ence, and  wish  your  face  a  Happy  Easter!

I  world-renowned 
doctors 
of  this  new 
discovery 


"BIGGEST  STEP  I\  YEARS  in  the  treatment  of  constipation  and  related 
ills  such  as  indigestion,  skin  troubles  and  run-down  condition,"  says  Dr.  Richard  von 
Stenitzer,  chief  medical  consultant  at  the  famous  Consular  Academy  in  Vienna. 


Constipation  chiefly  due  to  lack  of 
certain  substances  in  the  diet.  This 
food  abundantly  supplies  them! 

TODAY,  in  clinics  everywhere,  re- 
markable results  are  being  obtained 
in  cases  of  chronic  constipation  by  a 
new  food  recently  developed — the  new 
Fleischmann's  fresh  Yeast.  It  is  the 
richest  known  source  of  certain  "protec- 
tive substances"  the  stomach  and 
bowels  need  to  work  right. 

Why  people  get  Constipated 

Unless  your  stomach  and  intestines  ob- 
tain from  your  diet  a  sufficient  supply 
of  these  "protective  substances,"  your 
food  doesn't  digest  fast  enough  and 
wastes  collect.  Constipation  usually  re- 


sults, and  you  suffer  from  colds.  >kin 
troubles  and  poor  digestion. 

No  diet — not  even  those  containing  leafy 
vegetables  and  fruits — contains  enough  of 
these  substances.  No  laxatives  supply  them. 
But  this  new  fresh  yeast  is  so  rich  in  them 
that  it  "conditions"  the  entire  digestive 
tract.  In  one  great  eastern  hospital,  this  new 
Fleischmann's  Yeast  overcame  of  con- 
stipation cases— an  amazing  percentage! 

Begin  today  to  orcrcome  constipation  by- 
eating  S  or  more  cakes  of  the  new  Fleisch- 
mann's Yeast  daily,  a  half-hour  before  meals 
— plain,  or  dissolved  in  water.  At  grocers, 
restaurants,  soda  fountains. 

You'll  eat,  sleep  i 
work  better  when  ric 
of  digestive  slug-^ 
gishness.  Start 
eating  Fleisch- 
mann's Yeast!

food  is  as  rich  in  Vitamins  A,  B,  I),  (i  and  other  protective 
substances  needed  for  health.  Get  this  new  fresh  yeast  today!

depress  her  and  thus  retard  her  recovery. 

For  four  days  she  worried,  imploring 
nurses,  doctors  and  friends  to  let  her  have 
a  mirror.  Her  face  was  and  is  her  for- 
tune, and  if  her  beauty  was  gone,  so  too 
was  her  career,  or  so  she  thought.  On 
the  fifth  clay  she  discovered  that  she  had 
hut  a  small  scar  over  her  left  eye  which 
does  not  mar  her  appearance. 

Dr.  M.  Sayle  Taylor,  The  Voice  of  Ex- 
perience, did  not  escape  quite  so  easily. 
An  automobile  accident  changed  his  ca- 
reer. He  was  destined  to  be  a  surgeon. 
He  had  remarkable  hands.  He  used  them 
as  well  for  playing  the  piano.  He  was  of 
concert  calibre  and  in  his  early  twenties 
he  was  undecided  whether  to  choose  the 
stage  of  the  concert  hall  or  the  stage  of 
the  operating  theater. 

The  accident  crushed  one  of  his  hands 
in  thirty-two  places.  His  career  as  a 
surgeon  was  gone.  And  with  it  the  al- 
ternative of  becoming  a  great  pianist.  He 
put  starch  in  his  upper  lip  and  went  back- 
to  college  and  changed  his  course  from 
surgery  to  general  medicine.  He  became 
a  doctor.  Radio  was  the  unexpected  for 
him,  the  compensation  for  his  lost  dream. 

Another  automobile  accident  cost  Isham 
Jones  his  job  in  a  coal  mine  and  he,  too, 
thought  life  had  ended  in  a  blind  alley. 
But  for  him.  too.  there  was  compensation 
for  it  sent  him  to  music  and  thence  to 
jazz  eminence.  Tony  W'ons  lay  helpless 
for  a  year  after  a  smash-up  but  that's 
where  the  scrapbook  came  from. 

Fred  Allen  retreated  before  circum- 
stances until  he  felt  the  hard  cold  sur- 
face of  the  wall  behind  him,  then  he 
fought.  It  was  at  the  beginning  of  his 
career  and  he  had  just  got  his  first  break, 
a  contract  to  appear  in  Australian  thea- 
tres. The  war  was  on  and  a  hit  in  Aus- 
tralia meant  London,  Paris.  Brussels  and 
finally  America  with   increased  prestige. 

"I  started  from  Shrevesport.  Louisiana, 
after  playing  in  tire  local  theater,  for 
Brisbane-,  Australia,  probably  the  longest 
vaudeville  jump  in  history.  Outside  of 
Santa  Fe  the  train  turned  over  and  broke 
into  flames.  In  the.  fire  was  everything 
I  owned  in  the  world. 

"I  just  sat  there  and  watched  my  career 
burn.  I  was  so  discouraged  I  couldn't 
think.  A  spark  happened  to  alight  on  my 
lapel — my  only  coat.  I  jumped  up  and 
suddenly  the  numbness  was  gone — it  was 
like  coming  out  of  a  dream.  I  rushed 
around,  managed  somehow  to  get  to  San 
Francisco,  catch  the  boat  and  arrive  in 
Australia. 

"The  officials  wouldn't  let  me  land  be- 
cause I  had  no  passport.  I  cabled  and 
discovered  I  had  no  birth  certificate,  hav- 
ing been  born  in  a  house  that  stood  on 
the  line  between  two  towns !  Everything 
got  straightened  out  finally.  I  bought 
some  new  clothes  and  went  ahead." 

Trains  have  meant  tears  in  the  lives  of 
other  stars.  Gertrude  Berg,  writer  and 
principal  of  the  Goldbergs,  told  me  that 
the  darkest  hour  was  that  in  which  she 
was  forced  to  choose  between  her  hus- 
band and  her  mother. 


Husband  Lewis,  then  as  now,  was  in  the 
sugar  business  and  he  had  before  him  a 
long  sojourn  on  a  Louisiana  sugar  plan- 
tation. It  was  hi>  first  long  trip,  his 
first  plantation.  And  he  wanted  his  wife 
along.  But  Mrs.  Berg's  mother  was  crit- 
ically ill — and  Gertrude  was  the  invalid's 
mainstay.  It  wai  finally  arranged  that 
she  leave  with  her  husband,  get  him 
Started,  and  return  later  to  take  care  of 
her  mother. 

"I  cried  all  the  way  from  New  York 
to  Xew  Orleans."  she  told  me.  "People 
on  the  train  thought  I  was  bereaved.  One 
woman  came  up  to  me  and  told  me  she 
knew  how  it  was  to  lose  a  loved  one !" 

Howard  Marsh's  girl  friend  fell  out  of 
a  tree  when  he  was  appearing  in  "Blos- 
som Time"  and  he  commuted  between  Xew 
York  and  Boston.  He  spent  every  cent 
he  had  in  payments  to  specialists,  in  rail- 
road fares,  on  medicines  and  operations. 
He  wore  himself  to  a  wraith  with  worry 
and  work.  She  pulled  through,  and  as 
much  due  to  Howard's  strength  as  her 
own.  When  she  was  well  he  married  her. 

Then  there  was  the  train  ride  of  Ed 
Lowry.  Stranded  in  Little  Washington. 
North  Carolina,  he  and  his  wife,  who 
had  been  appearing  in  a  schoolroom  act, 
counted  their  money.  Not  quite  enough 
for  two  full  fares  but  ample  for  one  and 
a  half. 

His  wife,  be  it  known,  is  a  tiny  thing 
and  on  the  stage  wore  a  pinafore  which 
made  her  look  even  younger.  Lowry 
dressed  her  as  for  the  stage  and  getting 
on  the  train  put  her  on  his  lap  and  passed 
her  off  as  his  baby  sister.  They  got  away 
with  half-fare  for  her  until  Norfolk, 
when  a  smart  conductor  saw  through  the 
hoax  and  put  them  off.  A  traveling  sales- 
man remembered  them  and  insisted  they 
return  to  the  train  as  his  guests  as  far  as 
New  York. 

At  this  moment  George  Jessel  is  fight- 
ing the  hardest  battle  of  his  career.  He 
has  made  and  lost  five  fortunes  and  today 
he  is  broke  again.  Following  Eddie  Can- 
tor's lead  he  dropped  three  hundred  and 
thirty  thousand  dollars  in  Wall  Street 
after  the  crash.  Eddie  lost  several  mil- 
lions but  at  that  had  money  left.  George 
came  out  of  the  wreck  with  only  six  hun- 
dred dollars.  Lndaunted  he  accumulated 
fortune  number  five.  Then  his  marriage 
crashed  and  he  gave  his  wife  one  hun- 
dred and  seventy-five  thousand  dollars. 
He  was  broke  again. 

Mr.  Jessel's  intention  is,  he  told  me.  to 
win  another  pile — and  keep  it,  but  it's 
coming  hard.  Listeners  love  him  but  so 
far  he  hasn't  found  a  sponsor.  Broadway, 
where  in  the  old  days  he  gathered  many 
an  eagle,  is  washed  up.  All  that  remains 
for  him  is  the  radio  and  without  a  spon- 
sor he  can  earn  only  what  to  him  is  tin- 
foil. There  he  stands.  George  Jessel.  one 
of  the  great  comedians,  looking  towards 
middle  age.  and  the  road  to  a  sixth  for- 
tune dim  and  uncertain. 

So  let  us  pass  on  to  Ramona  whose 
story  is  not  nearly  so  sad.  This  hap- 
pened in  Cincinnati. 


RADIO  STARS 


Said  Paul  Whiteman  to  Ramona  after 
she  had  sung  for  him : 

"You  sing  swell — but  you're  too  fat.  I 
can't  use  you." 

Ramona  went  home  and  wept.  All  her 
days  she  had  dreamed  of  singing  with 
Whiteman  and  now  there  was  no  chance ! 
But  in  the  morning  Ramona  took  whole- 
wheat instead  of  white  bread.  She  dieted, 
exercised — and  in  a  year  lost  forty  pounds ! 
When  the  year  was  over  she  went  again 
to  see  the  maestro — and  got  the  job! 

Paul  himself  relates  that  his  most  cru- 
cial moment  was  the  time  he  arranged  the 
first  three-point  broadcast  in  which  his 
orchestra  in  Chicago  accompanied  singers 
in  Xew  York  and  Los  Angeles. 

New  York  engineers  for  a  national  net- 
work refused  to  touch  it  and  warned  the 
sponsor  against  it.  Paul  wheedled,  wept 
and  swore  until  at  last  one  of  the  Chicago 
engineers  agreed  to  help  him. 

Marion  Harris  and  Aileen  Stanley  were 
the  Xew  York  singers;  Jeanette  MacDon- 
ald  sang  from  Los  Angeles.  The  singers 
got  the  opening  chord  by  head-phones, 
then  dropped  them  and  sang  without  ac- 
companiment. Every  member  of  the  or- 
chestra was  equipped  with  phones  and 
they  played  along.  It  was  the  first  time 
the  stunt  had  been  tried  and  it  was  a 
success  but  Paul  was  a  wreck  when  it 
was  over. 

Freddie  Rich  reports  that  his  worst  half 
hour  occurred  when  he  heard  that  his 
brother,  a  radio  musician,  had  died  of 
heart  failure.  The  news  came  in  the 
midst  of  his  broadcast  Trouper  born,  he 
went  on  playing  the  gay,  tinkling  melodies 
until  his  time  was  up. 

Vera  Van  has  soul  in  her  singing  be- 
cause of  the  suffering  she  has  undergone. 
She  has  seen  an  accident  sweep  away  a 
career.  She  started  as  a  dancer  and  was 
a  good  one  until  she  fell  and  injured  her 
spine.  Months  in  the  hospital  followed. 
When  she  came  out,  she  set  to  work  on 
ker  voice.  The  next  time  you  hear  her 
you  may  catch  a  note  of  the  pain  she 
knew  when  her  castle  tumbled. 

We  could  go  on  for  a  long  time.  There 
is  Myrtle  Vail,  of  Myrt  and  Marge,  who 
raised  chickens  for  sixteen  years  and  sud- 
denly found  herself  broke.  But  she  came 
back  when  she  became  Myrt. 

Stories  of  boyhood  sufferings  abound. 
David  Ross  used  to  deliver  papers  in  a 
baby  carriage  and  to  avoid  the  scorn  of 
his  best  girl  he  often  detoured  a  mile,  i 
George  Burns  was  born  Birnbaum.  He  ' 
and  his  brother  used  to  go  down  to  the 
railroad  yards  and  stuff  their  shirts  with 
coal  until  they  presented  a  comical  aspect. 
The  neighbors  laughed  and  called  them 
the  Burns  Brothers— the  name  of  the 
famous  coal  dealers.   The  name  stuck. 

So  it  goes  .  .  .  We  all  have  our  own 
troubles,  but  few  are  blacker  or  bitterer 
than  those  of  the  radio  stars,  who  come 
to  you  so  cheerfully,  so  serenely  over  the 
ethereal  waves.

said  with  an  embarrassed  little-boy  grin. 
"Only,  it  won't  be  the  Ritz — yet  .  .  .  ." 

It  wasn't  just  a  pick-up.  Hal  wasn't 
that  kind.  I  wonder,  sometimes,  if  I 
knew  then  that  I  was  making  a  decision 
that  was  to  alter  irrevocably  the  whole 
course  of  my  life. 

"It  could  be  Childs,  Dutch!''  I  said 
breathlessly.    "I  go  out  at  twelve." 

He  was  waiting  for  me  at  the  elevators 
downstairs  when  1  went  down.  I  was 
glad  I'd  worn  my  new  red  velvet  beret 
in  spite  of  the  November  sleet  that 
lashed  the  city ! 

I  don't  remember  what  we  ate.  It  was 
a  forty-cent  special,  I  know,  for  he 
wouldn't  let  me  pay  my  check,  and  I  was 
thinking  of  the  shine  on  his  serge  suit. 
By  the  time  we  had  finished  coffee  it 
was  just  as  if  we  had  known  each  other 
all  our  lives.  I  knew  all  about  his  people 
up-state,  and  how  he  had  worked  his 
way  through  college,  playing  at  frat 
dances.  How,  in  the  past  year,  he  had 
got  together  his  orchestra,  and  perfected 
his  stuff,  playing  in  summer  hotels,  in 
third-rate  night  clubs,  all  over  the  coun- 
try. How  his  one  driving,  burning 
ambition  was  to  break  into  radio,  and 
make  good  in  a  big  way.  And  now,  he 
had  his  chance! 

Even  before  I  heard  him  broadcast  I 
knew  that  he  was  going  to  make  good. 
I  knew  that  he  wasn't  just  a  Hash  in  the 
pan.  And  happy  as  I  was  for  him,  I  had 
to  stifle  an  unreasonable  pang  when  he 


talked  about  the  future,  his  glowing  eycl 
fixed  on  the  splendid,  glittering  goal  hi 
had  set  himself  .... 

I  meant  a  lot  to  him,  even  that  fir.'l 
day.  A  girl  can  always  tell.  But  hoJ 
would  it  be  later  on?  I  knew  the  in] 
and  outs  of  studio  life,  you  see.  I  kne>| 
what  increasing  fan  mail  and  gool 
notices  in  the  radio  columns  and  over] 
night  popularity  do  to  a  boy  on  his  wa] 
up!  And  Hal.  young,  good -looking  I 
charming,  would  be  associating  with  iml 
portant  radio  people.  With  radio  star] 
whose  fame  and  beauty  would  turn  an.J 
boy's  head.  How  could  I,  little  Moll 
Shannon,  compete  with  them? 

Funny  that,  even  on  that  first  day,  J 
should  torment  myself  with  thoughts  lik  J 
those.  Or  not  so  funny !  I  loved  him] 
you  see.  And  I  knew,  with  the  frighten] 
ing  prescience  that  loving  gives  you.  thai 
I  was  going  to  have  to  share  him  with  , 
jealous,  demanding  world. 

It's  funny  and  sweet  and  heart 
breaking  to  remember  those  early  days 
locked  in  my  heart.  But  I'd  rather  hav< 
them  than  every  jewel  he's  ever  givei 
me,  since.  Even  though  remembering 
brings  tears  to  my  eyes  

We  were  so  young  and  so  much  ir 
love.  I  wonder,  sometimes,  how  differ 
ently  things  would  have  turned  out  if  IV 
said  "yes"  to  him  the  night  he  begge< 
me  to  marry  him  ....  But  I  put  him  off  ;

winking   back   the  tears   that   stung  m\

eyelids— just  because  nothing  mattered  to 
me  but  him  and  the  brilliant  future  in 
radio  that  was  his  for  the  taking! 

I  was  just  a  thirty-dollar-a-week 
liostess  in  Broadcast  City.  I  told  him. 
He  was  already  being  groomed  for  radio 
stardom.  His  thirteen  weeks'  sustaining 
contract  was  only  a  start.  He  couldn't 
support  a  wife  on  the  modest  salary  he 
was  getting.  Xot  while  he  had  to  help 
out  his  family,  as  he  did. 

"Don't  tempt  me,  Hal,  darling."  I 
begged,  half  laughing,  half  crying.  "Xot 

•when  I  want  to  marry  you  so  dreadfully! 
We've  got  to  wait,  for  your  sake.  You're 
going  places,  but  you're  still  on  your 
way.  You  mustn't  be  saddled  with  a  wife 

[and  responsibilities  yet.  Not  until  you're 

'so  important  that  it  won't  matter.  I  bear 
things  at  the   studios.     I   kno zv.  Carlin 

land  all  of  them  think  you're  the  biggest 
find  in  years.  You're  going  to  be  the 
greatest  crooner  of  them  all !    A  million 

'  people  are  going  to  wait  to  tune  in  on 
Hal    Robey — but    your    radio    fans  are 

'mostly  women!" 

"And  you   think   they're   going  to  go 

Isour  on  me  if  they  figure  I'm  singing  to 

'just  one  girl?  Oh,  Molly — you  precious 
goose !" 

But  I  forced  his  arms  back,  got  up 
(from  the  chair  that  was  just  big  enough 
!for  two.  I  couldn't  think  straight  while 
jhe  held  me  in  his  arms. 

"When  you  do  your  stuff  at  the  mike, 
Hal,  every  girl  who  listens  to  you  for- 
gets the  man  she's  with,  thinks  you're 
singing  just  to  her.  Every  old  lady  for- 
gets her  knitting  and  her  rheumatism  and 
1  sees  herself  young  and  lovely  and  be- 
loved again.  That's  the  sort  of  heart- 
throb you  send  over  the  air-waves,  Hal! 
But  if  they  knew  you  were  just  waiting 
to    get    through,    and    come    home  to 

me  " 

Well.  I  persuaded  him  that  we'd  better 
wait.  And  I  did  more  than  that.  I  in- 
sisted that  he  treat  me  casually  there  at 
the  studios.  That  we  keep  our  love  a 
secret  from  everybody.  I  thought  it  was 
all  for  the  best.    But  if  I  had  it  to  do 

over  again  Funny,  how  your  most 

unselfish  arguments  can  turn  into  boom- 
erangs ! 

My  forecast  of  Hal's  future  was  borne 
out.  It  wasn't  a  month  before  he  was 
switched  to  a  better  spot,  thanks  to  that 
infallible  gauge  of  a  radio  singer's  pop- 
ularity— fan-mail !  Even  though  he  was 
only  on  a  sustaining  program,  letters 
came  pouring  in.  The  booking  office  of 
Eastern  Broadcasts  already  was  getting 
bids  for  him.  Hal  Robey  was  on  his 
way  up! 

The  big  shots  in  radio  were  taking 
notice  of  him,  too.  His  boyish  good  looks, 

Ihis  charm,  made  its  mark.  I'll  never 
forget  the  first  time  he  had  to  break  a 

I  date  with  me  to  go  to  one  of  Queenie 
Shawn's  parties.  (I'll  call  her  Queenie 
Shawn,  because  that  isn't  her  real  name. 
But  you  probably  tune  in  on  her  glorious 
contralto  voice   weekly,  and   read  about 

I  her  sables,  and  her  pent-house,  and  her 

Russian  wolf-hound  ) 

"You  don't  mind,  do  you.  Molly?"  Hal 
asked  anxiously.  "You  know  I'd  rather 
have  dinner  with  you !" 

;  I  put  my  hand  over  his  mouth.  I 
made  myself  smile.  He  thought  he  meant 
it,  but  I  knew  better!    He  was  walking

Gazing  at  this  picture  makes  us  understand  why  Robert  Simmons  sings. 
Who  wouldn't,  with  such  a  trio  of  friends?     Bob  has  the  right  idea! 


on  air  at  being  asked  to  a  party  of 
Queenie  Shawn's!  And  why  not?  All 
sorts  of  important  people  would  be  there. 

"Idiot!"  I  said.  "If  you'd  turned  down 
a  break  like  that  I'd — I'd  slap  you!  Let's 
look  at  your  tux  and  see  if  the  moths 
have  taken  charge." 

And  there  in  his  shabby  little  flat  off 
the  Square  I  dug  out  his  dinner  clothes, 
and  pressed  them.  (The  tailor  shop  at 
the  corner  was  closed.) 

Afterwards  I  took  the  El  uptown  to 
the  Girls'  Club  where  I  lived,  and  cried 
myself — well,  not  to  sleep !  Silly  of  me. 
to  agonize  over  the  very  thing  I  wanted 
so  for  him — but  that's  life ! 

He  had  a  marvelous  time  and,  as  it 
happened,  he  got  the  luckiest  of  breaks 
that  same  night.  The  president  of  a  big 
beauty  products  concern  out  west  was 
there — a  man  who  didn't  leave  every 
tiling  to  the  advertising  agency  that 
handled  his  account.  This  Mr.  Balcom 
had  heard  Hal  broadcast.  But  he  must 
have  been  impressed  all  over  again,  when 
Hal  sang  a  couple  of  numbers  that 
Queenie  Shawn  coaxed  from  him  in  her 
dazzling,  imperious  way. 

He  didn't  say  much  and  he  went  back 
to  Lake  City  the  next  day.  But  when 
Hal's  contract  was  up,  the  Milk  o'  Roses 
people  wanted  him  on  their  weekly  hour ! 
It  didn't  just  mean  broadcasting  from  a 
local  station.  It  meant  a  nation-wide 
hook-up.  It  meant  that  Hal  Robey,  prac- 
tically unknown,  was  going  to  be  known 
and  listened  to  from  here  to  California ! 
And  at  a  salary  that  took  my  breath 
away  when,  flushed,  excited,  he  leaned 
over  my  desk  and  told  me  about  it. 

It  meant  the  end  of  the  rainbow  with- 
in our  reach !  I  was  the  happiest  girl  in 
the  world  that  afternoon.  I  don't  see  now 
how   I   did   my   work,  and  handled  the 


afternoon  tourist  crowd,  and  waited  ft  I 
six  o'clock  to  come. 

We  drove  up  through  Eastern  Pari 
way  to  a  quiet  little  roadhouse  for  dinnel 
to  celebrate  the  new  contract.  I'll  nevfl 
forget  the  moon  that  silvered  the  resell 
voir,  or  the  lacy  pattern  of  the  bail 
trees  against  the  night  sky. 

"I'm  so  happy,  Hal — so  happy  I'm  a  I 
most  scared!"  I  told  him,  snuggling  closl 
to  him  in  the  blessed  privacy  of  the  tax  J 
"It's  been  worth  waiting  for,  hasn't  it ?  1 

"You  said  it,  sweetness !"  I  didn  I 
wonder  at  the  catch  in  his  voice.  He  ha  I 
a  right  to  be  excited.  "You  certainl  | 
used  your  head  about  us,  Molly.  If  we' 
got  married  last  fall  we  wouldn't  bl 
celebrating  this  swell  break." 

"What  do  you  mean?"  I  asked.  M;l 
heart  skipped  a  beat. 

"Well,  it  seems  that  my  new  sponsor: 
want  to  build  me  up  as  the  Great  Lovei- 
of  the  air-waves."  He  took  his  arn 
from  about  me,  lighted  a  cigarette.  B\ 
its  flare  I  read  something  in  his  smik 
that  terrified  me.  His  chuckle  didn'; 
ring  quite  true.  Hal  might  be  pretending 
to  laugh  at  his  growing  popularity,  the 
adulation  he  already  was  tasting,  but  it 
was  only  a  pretense.  He  loved  it!  And 
he  was  beginning  to  take  himself  pretty 
seriously. 

"Yes?"  I  said.  "So  what,  darling?  Is? 
your   radio   audience   going  to — cut  me 

out  ?" 

"Crazy!"  His  lips  on  mine,  his  arms 
about  me,  made  me  reproach  myself  for 
that  moment  of  panic.  And  it  wasn't 
until  we  were  seated  in  a  secluded  little 
booth  in  the  tavern,  and  the  waiter  had 
taken  our  order,  that  I  found  out  what 
he  meant. 

His  new  contract  with  the  Milk  o' , 
Roses  people  had  a  clause  in  it  forbidding 


him  to  marry!  Oh.  it  was  reasonable 
enough  ....  They  were  going  to  make 
him  a  big  star — they  had  a  publicity 
program  that  would  make  Hal  Robey  the 
most  publicized  crooner  on  the  networks. 

I  sat  staring  into  space  for  a  long 
minute.  Minuter  It  seemed  more  like 
a  lifetime ! 

"But  if  you'd  told  them  you  were 
engaged.  Hal — that  it  wasn't  fair  to  me 
— they'd  have  omitted  that  clause.  You're 
a  big  radio  find,  and  they  know  it.  You 
could  have  called  their  bluff,"  I  said  at 
last. 

He  looked  at  me  in  dazed  bewilder- 
ment. "But,  Molly — you've  been  the  one 
all  along  who  wanted  to  keep  it  dark  at 
the  studio !  Why,  you  had  this  very 
thing  in  mind!" 

There  wasn't  any  use  explaining,  if  he 
didn't  understand.  What  he  said  was 
quite  true — but  I  had  meant  to  wait  till 
some  such  big  chance  as  this  came  along! 

The  orchestra  was  playing  one  of  his 
most  popular  numbers  and  we  danced. 
But  even  as  we  danced  together,  our 
teps  and  our  heart-beats  keeping  time — 
3h,  he  did  love  me ! — there  was  an  abyss 
)et\veen  us  that  even  his  nearness  and 
iearness  couldn't  bridge.  And  he  didn't 
enow  it !  That  was  what  made  me  feel 
;o  lost  and  alone. 

And  then,  in  spite  of  my  forced  brittle 
raiety.  he  did  guess. 

"Molly  .  .  .  ."  he  said,  and  stopped. 
3is  chin,  with  the  dent  in  it  that  I  loved 
o,  thrust  out.  "'I  guess  I'm  just  be- 
;inning  to  see  things  straight.  I  don't 
leserve  anything  as  lovely,  as  loyal,  as 
ou.  But  if  you  think  I  mean  to  give 
ou  up — sweetheart,  you're  the  one  big 
hing!  You're  what  matters — not  any 
adio  contract !  Xot  all  the  fame  and 
fioney  in  the  world!  Listen.  I'll  tear  up 
iat  contract — " 

,  "Stop  it!"  I  told  him  shakily.  "I 
>ve  you.  darling!    I  can  wait,  Hal." 

His  gold-flecked  hazel  eyes  burned  into 
line.  "  Yes?"  Well.  I  can't!  I  can  feel 
ou  slipping  away  from  me  right  now. 
•nd  if  I  lost  you.  Molly  .  .  .  ."  he  drew 

deep  breath.  "There  wouldn't  be  any 
■ore  Hal  Robey.  that's  all !  Maybe  it's 
leating,  but  I  don't  care!  We're  driving 
ver  the  State  line  and  getting  married 
•night.  Molly!     Secretly.     Xo  one  will 

iow  about  it  until  I  can  tell  'em  all 
?   go    to    blazes.     But    you'll  be — my 

ife!"   And  his  voice  was  choked  with 

mestness. 

I  tried  to  dissuade  him.  but  it  was  a 
eble.  half-hearted  attempt.  I  wanted 
m  so  dreadfully. 

We  didn't  finish  our  chicken  dinner. 
fal  paid  the  check,  did  some  telephoning, 
id  we  left. 

There  isn't  anything  very  romantic  or 
amorous    about    being    married    in  a 
iffy,     mission-furniture     filled  parlor, 
'  ith  a  sleepy  woman  in  a  dressing-gown 
'  d  an   Irish   Biddy   for   witnesses,  but 
6  didn't  need  Mendelssohn,  and  a  dim- 
flower-filled    church   to    make    it  a

g  Hal  put  on  my  finger  from  his  own, 
I  re  enough.    And  his  kiss,  when  Judge 
■ ckson  pronounced  us  man  and  wife . .  . 
That  was  a  Saturday  night.    We  had

Some  women  still  sillier  regularly;  martyrs 
to  the  time  of  mouth. 

Others  have  put  this  martyrdom  behind 
them.  The  days  they  used  to  dread  are 
just  a  memory.  They  approach  this  time 
without  any  fear.  They  pass  it  without 
the  old  discomfort. 

Midol  has  made  periodic  pain  a  thing 
of  the  past  for  many,  many  women. 

"Oh,  yes,"  say  some  who  have  read 
about  it,  and  heard  about  it,  "but  my 
suffering  is  so  severe,  and  I've  tried  so 
many  things  that  didn't  help!  Midol  may 
not  end  all  the  pain  for  me." 

True,  there  are  women  who  are  not  re- 
lieved of  every  trace  of  pain  when  they 
take  these  tablets.  But  they  get  such  a 
large  measure  of  relief  that  they  are  quite 
comfortable  in  comparison.  And  the  com- 
fort is  not  momentary,  not  an  interlude, 
but  sustained  comfort  from  the  start. 

The  best  time  to  begin  with  Midol  is 
before  any  discomfort  is  felt.  You  may 
escape  all  pain.  You  are  sure  to  have  an 
easier  time.  The  action  of  this  medicine 
is  effective  for  hours,  and  two  tablets 
should  see  you  through  your  worst  day. 

Why  postpone  this  comfort  another 
month?  One  reason  some  women  still 
hesitate  to  try  Midol  is  their  doubt  of  its 
being  as  effective  as  advertised.  Doubters 
should  just  ask  anyone  who  has  tried  it! 
Another  reason  for  hesitating  to  take 
these  tablets  is  the  fear  that  Midol  may 
be  a  narcotic.  It  is  not. 

The  next  time  you  are  in  a  drug  store, 
pick  up  a  package  of  Midol.  You'll  find 
it  on  the  counter.  If  not,  just  ask  for 
Midol.

I  known  paradise  for  a  few  short  hours. 

If  I  liad  guessed  what  lay  ahead  of 
us  in  the  months  that  followed,  maybe 
I  would  have  been  more  dubious  about 
the  mad  venture  ....  I  don't  want  to 
remember  too  much  about  the  spring  and 
summer  that  sped  by.  It  hurts  too  much, 
even  after  these  five  years.  For  I  was 
still  j  11  >t  Molly  Shannon,  demure  little 
hostess  at  Broadcast  City.  And  Hal — 
Hal  was  going  straight  up  the  ladder  to 
radio  stardom.  We  had  to  play  safe  and 
not  give  studio  gossip  a  chance.  But  to 
greet  him  casually  each  day  when  he 
came  in  for  rehearsals  or  for  his  broad- 
cast ;  to  listen  to  all  the  talk  about  him, 
and  Queenie  Shawn,  or  Marie  Fortuna, 
the  opera  star,  was  sheer  torment. 

When  we  were  together — and  that 
wasn't  so  often  now  for  Hal's  publicity 
manager  was  very  much  on  the  job,  and 
Hal  had  to  be  seen  here,  there,  and 
everywhere  with  important  people — my 
panic  and  loneliness  died.  It  was  enough 
to  be  in  his  arms,  to  know  that  it  was 
me  he  loved.  Me,  he  wanted,  for  whom 
he  was  building  his  future — at  least, 
that's  what  I  told  myself! 

But  die  utter  desolation  of  those 
nights  alone  in  my  two-by-four  room ! 
The  aching  hunger  of  being  a  wife  who 
could  make  no  claim,  who  could  only 
stand  by,  and  see  her  husband  scale  the 
heights  alone — that  was  what  made  me  a 
pale,  wan  wraith  of  the  Molly  Shannon 
that  used  to  be. 

At  least.  I  thought  it  was  that.  Until 
I  saw  a  doctor  ....  I  had  been  feeling 
wretchedly  for  weeks.  But  still  I  didn't 
guess  

That  night  I  cooked  dinner  for  Hal 
in  his  apartment.  And  he  told  me,  ex- 
ultantly, that  the  Milk  o'  Roses  people 
were  renewing  his  contract  at  double  the 
salary.  But  he  had  to  go  out  west  to 
Lake  City.  They  wanted  him  to  broad- 
cast from  there,  it  seemed,  where  Arthur 
Balcom  himself  could  supervise  the  pro- 
grams.    And   then,   at   the  end   of  the 


thirteen  weeks'  contract  ...  Hal  bear! 

"We'll  be  all  set,  sweetheart,"  he  s| 
"But  I'm  going  to  miss  you!  I'll  I 
counting  the  days,  the  weeks,  the  moil 
— until  I  can  come  and  get  you,  im 
Hal  Robey!" 

The  room  was  going  around  in  a  d 
whirl.  '  So  will  I !"  I  told  him,  difl 
"But  for  a  different  reason,  Hal.  Lis! 
darling.  You've  got  to  get  around  \  t 
sponsors,  your  manager !  Don't  you  I 
derstand?    I'm  going  to  have  a  baby.  I 

The  one  thing  that  was  clear  ill 
spinning-dervish  of  a  world  was  I

He  wasn't  thinking  of  me,  or  of  the  bl 
....  He  was  just  thinking  of  his  call 
— his  newly-signed  contract!  His  futl 
that  one  false  step  would  destroy !  1  i 
given  his  signed  word  not  to  marry  I 
his  sponsors  knew  he  was  alrel 
married  .... 

He  didn't  go  to  Lake  City.  Somell 
he  wangled  that  compromise.  But  I 
might  as  well  have  gone.  For  our  nl 
riage  was  still  secret,  as  though  it  I 
been  a  shameful  thing.  And 'when  I  ■

Mrs.  Harry  Shannon,  widow,  in  a  q  l 
boarding-house  uptown. 

Hal  was  generous  enough  with  moil 
There  wasn't  anything  I  couldn't  hi 
had,  except  the  security,  the  comrades? I 
of  a  husband  who  comes  home  to  .  I 
nights.  The  heavenly  feeling  that  .1 
aren't  facing  things  alone. 

Hal,  when  he  did  risk  coming  to  I 
me,  was  supposed  to  be  my  brother.  '.I 
he  didn't  come  very  often.  It  woukl 
have  been  safe.  Someone  might  recogrl 
him,  now  that  he  was  getting  so  ml 
publicity. 

That  long,  hot  summer  was  a  nightrml 
Only  the  thought  of  my  baby  kept  I 
from  absolute  despair.  I  felt,  during  thl 
long  months,  what  any  girl  bearing  a  ell 
out  of  wedlock  must  feel.  The  same  lol 
liness  and  panic  and — yes — humiliation  \l 
mine.     I    might   as   well   have   had  1

I  didn't  begrudge  Hal  the  success  that 
,-as  his.    He  had  earned  it  all.    But  it 
as  desolate  to  sit  in  that  dreary  boarding- 
>use  lounge  and  listen  to  his  broadcasts 
oin  the  swanky  new  night-club  that  en- 
iged  him  in   September,  at  a  dazzling 
jure !    And  to  read  of  his  popularity  in 
,ie  gossip  columns;  to  know  that  half  the 
ibutantes  in  town  were  romantically  en- 
ralled  by  his  voice,  his  personality.  .  .  . 
I  wasn't  jealous  of  any  one  woman.  I 
mply  resented  the  conditions  that  kept  us 
art.    I  blamed  him,  unjustly  enough,  for 
eaking  dates  I'd  looked  forward  to  for 
terminable  days.    The  booking  office  of 
astern  Broadcasts  got  splendid  offers  for 
jin  from  out-of-town  theatres,  on  nights 
len  he  wasn't  broadcasting  on  his  weekly 
ur.   It  would  have  been  madness  to  turn 
em  down,  at  that  stage  of  the  game.  But 
wanted  him.    And  lonely,  nerve-racked, 
ghtened  of  what  lay  ahead  of  me,  I 
.owed  my  resentment.    So  that  our  rare 
Iiurs  together  were  anything  but  happy 
leers'  meetings. 

.October  had  come  and  gone  and  in  a 
ilv  weeks  my  baby  would  be  born.  Was 
•  to  go  through  that  alone,  too?    I  de- 
luded of  him  hysterically. 
!  [His  arms,  his  lips  on  my  tear-stained 
;.,sek,  couldn't  comfort  me.    "D'  you  think 
'  be  away  from  you  then?"  he  reassured 
t.    "I've  got  everything  fixed.    I'm  not 
ving   town   after   November  fifteenth, 
liney.    Not  even  for  a  night!  Molly,

Ither  of  us  counted  on  my  slipping  on

■ernoon,  when  I  was  taking  the  daily 
fjlk  my  doctor  insisted  upon. 
I  t  wasn't  much  of  a  fall — my  fur-coat 
like  the  shock.    I  came  home  in  a  taxi,

Do  You  Shun 

WHENEVER  YOU  CAN- 
conscious  OF 
THOSE  LITTLE  SKIN  BLEMISHES 
YOU  COULD  NOT  CONCEAL? 


YOU  can  avoid  much  of  this  embar- 
rassment, if  you  will  help  nature 
heal  these  surface  defects  instead 
of  trying  to  cover  them  up. 

Your  skin  is  sick  when  it  is  broken  out 
and  irritated  from  clogged,  sluggish 
pores  or  blackheads  or  perhaps  some 
temporary  internal  disturbance.  It  needs 
external  medication — not  beautifiers — 
to  aid  in  relieving  the  disorder  and  pro- 
moting the  return  of  natural  loveliness. 

The  special  medication  in  Resinol 
Ointment  makes  it  particularly  effective 
for  such  cases.  It  is  so  gentle,  so  soothing, 
so  beneficial  in  its  action  that  doctors 
and  nurses  have  been  using  and  recom- 
mending it  for  nearly  forty  years  in  the 
treatment  of  sick  skins.  Almost  as  soon 
as  Resinol  is  applied,  the  soreness  is 
relieved,  and  in  a  short  time  the  irritated 
spots  begin  to  improve.  It  does  not 
smart  or  sting  and  is  kind  to  the 
tenderest  skin. 

Resinol  Soap  as  an  Aid 

Bathing  the  skin  first  with  the  lightly 
medicated,  non-irritating  lather  of  Resi- 
nol Soap,  quickens  the  pleasing  effect  of 
the  Resinol  treatment.  All  druggists  sell 
Resinol  Ointment  and  Soap.  Get  them 
today — use  them  when  you  have  sick 
skin — then  see  the  improvement.  For  a 
convincing  free  sample  of  each  write  to

I  remembered  the  swift  trip  to  the  hospital. 

And  then  I  didn't  remember  much  more. 
I  was  terribly  ill.  I  kept  calling  for  Hal. 
I  can  still  hear  my  voice  ringing  out  in 
that  white-tiled  room.  And  then,  the 
I  'I' — <'l  oblivion  of  anesthesia. 

When  I  came  back  to  life  again,  it  was 
like  waking  up  in  heaven.  Hal  was  there 
beside  my  bed.  holding  my  bloodless  hands. 
And  through  the  stricken  mask  of  his 
white  face  he  smiled.  I  touched  his  cheek 
and  it  was  wet. 

"Why.  Hal.-'  I  said  drowsily.  "Darling 
— you're  crying !  I'm  all  right,  and  we've 
got  a  lovely  baby.  Silly  .  .  .  ."  I  began 
to  remember  things.  "Hal,  I'm  so  sorry. 
I   must   have  given   everything  away — I 

wanted  you  so  " 

"Everything's  all  right,  sweet,' 


choking.    "I've  got  you!  And 


he  said, 
we  don't 

have  to  pretend  any  more.  They  know 
all  about  it  now  at  the  studio.  Hal  Robey, 
married,  is  just  as  big  a  draw  as  Hal 
Robey,  single.  Why,  they'll  even  make 
swell  publicity  out  of  the  story  of  our 
secret  marriage!" 

There  was  something  wrong  with  the 
lightness  in  his  voice.  His  eyes  were  still 
wet. 

"Wonderful  .  ..."  I  murmured.  "And 
now — make  them  bring  me  the  baby.  Be- 
fore you  have  to  go!"  I  remembered,  even 
then,  that  he  was  broadcasting  that  night. 

The  dreadful  silence  ought  to  have  told 
me.  But  it  was  the  nurse's  soothing :  "You 
must  rest  awhile,  Mrs.  Robey,"  that  sent 
panic  through  me. 

"My  baby!"  I  said  wildly.  "I  want  him. 
What — what's  the  matter?" 

Then  they  told  me.  He  was  a  beautiful 
little  boy.  Absolutely  perfect !  But  he 
only  lived  an  hour  

I  was  wild  with  misery.    So  frantic,  so 


hysterical,  they  had  to  give  me  a  sedfl 

and  send  Hal  away.  The  >cdativel 
numbed  me,  sent  me  into  a  fantastic! 
dcrland  of  grief  for  a  little  while.  ll 
later  I  awoke  to  the  strains  of  ■  ■ 
music  from  the  next  room.  Kadio  tl

singing:

and  baby  makes  three,

I  think  his  voice  broke  on  the  last! 
timental  note.    I  know  my  heart  dil 

I  didn't  get  my  strength  back  for  al 
time.  The  will  to  take  up  life  again  sch 
to  have  gone  out  of  me.  All  Hal'ji 
murseful  tenderness  couldn't  arous<B 
from  my  lethargy  of  grief. 

I  should  have  known  that  a  manfl 
Hal  couldn't  endure  remorse  over* 
length  of  time.  Most  men  can't.  .Km 
see  me  pale  and  wan  and  lifeless,  a  M 
reminder  of  what  he  had  put  me  thr  ■

the  tears  came  all  too  easily,  and  the  tm 
of  the  babies  crying  in  the  nurseil 
bottle-time,  the  sight  of  those  ■ 
blanketed  bundles  being  wheeled  pas  I 
door,  nearly  killed  me. 

He  was  sympathetic,  patient.  Bi  hi 
couldn't  seem  to  understand  my  afl 
aching  hunger  for  the  baby  I'd  never  m 
held  in  my  arms. 

So  when  he  told  me  that  his  spo  XI 
insisted  on  his  going  to  Lake  City  al

from  there,  I  was  actually  relieved.  I

apartment  for  us,  overlooking  the  lake. 
We  would  have  a  glorious  winter  out 
there,  sharing  the  fruits  of  his  success. 

I  should  have  made  a  show  of  en- 
thusiasm at  his  eager  planning  of  our  life 
!  together.  I  realize  that  now.  But  if  Hal 
was  wrapped  up  in  his  success,  his  glam- 
orous future,  I  was  equally  absorbed  in  my 
own  misery. 

The  turning  point  of  our  lives  was  the 
night  when  he  took  the  plane  to  Lake  City. 
I  held  our  happiness  in  my  two  hands.  It 
wasn't  Hal  Robey,  complacent  king  of 
crooners,  who  held  me  in  his  arms  trying 
!to  comfort  me.  It  was  a  bewildered, 
lonely  boy-husband. 

"I  know  you  blame  me,  Molly,  for — 
^everything,"  he  said  shakily.  "I  know  how 
you  feel  about  the  baby  " 

"You  never  have  known  .  .  .  You  never 
will."  I  turned  my  face  away  "Don't  talk 
about  it,  Hal.'' 

I  "I'll  make  it  up  to  you,  sweetheart,"  he 
promised.  "There's  nothing  in  the  world 
I  won't  be  able  to  give  you  soon.  We're 
[going  places,  Molly,  you  and  I !" 

For  a  moment  I  almost  hated  him!  How 
could  he  think  to  make  up  with  material 
things  for  the  death  of  my  baby?  My 
baby,  who  might  have  been  sleeping,  safely, 
warm  and  soft  and  alive,  in  the  nursery 
lown  the  hall — if  it  hadn't  been  for  his 
Selfishness,  his  blind,  driving  ambition ! 
k  "You  can't  give  me  anything  I  want!" 
[  told  him  wildly.    "It's  too  late  now!" 

He    released    my    unresponsive  hands, 
lent  his  fair  head  over  his  cigarette  lighter. 
Remembered  where  he  was,  and  flicked  off 
he  flame.    He  stared  at  the  gold  gadget 
I  for  a  long  time. 

"Okay,  Molly,"  he  said  at  last.    "I  can 
■ike  it — but  you're  getting  pretty  expert 
(it  dishing  it  out.    I  guess  it's  a  good  thing 
-  >'ve  got  plenty  of  hard  work  ahead  of  me. 
There  doesn't  seem  to  be  much  else.  .  .  ." 
He  kissed  me,  gently,  as  he  might  have 
issed  a  spoiled  child.    If  I  had  drawn  his 
ead  down  to  mine,  told  him  I  didn't  mean 
told  him  that  we  still  loved  and  needed 
ch  other — but  I  didn't. 
"I've  got  to  go,  Molly.     I  can't  miss 
at  plane.    Maybe  you'll  feel  differently 
hen  you  come  out  to  Lake  City,  honey, 
aybe  we  can  get  off  to  a  fresh  start." 
'Wipe  out  this  past  year?"    I  flung  an 
m  over  my  eyes.    "Oh,  no,  Hal !  You 
n't  turn  back  the  clock!" 
I  was  so  young  and  blind.    So  wrong. 

two  people  want  anything  earnestly 
ough,  they  can  get  it.  Rut  I  didn't  be- 
ve  it  then,  and  so  I  let  him  go. 
The  door  closed  after  him ;  I  heard  his 
otsteps  receding  down  the  dim-lit  corri- 
r.  And  a  wild  tide  of  loss  and  loneliness 
gulfed  me.  I  sobbed  out  his  name,  but 
couldn't  hear  me. 

I  think,  for  a  minute,  I  had  an  uncanny 
impse  into  the  future.  Our  future,  his 
id  mine.  But  it  frightened  me.  I  could 
ly  see  ahead  a  long,  lonely  road

Helen  Jepson's  Road  to  Romance 


dusted  and  tried  to  keep  up  with  tier 
studies  at  the  same  time.  Plainly  there 
wouldn't  have  been  much  time  for  fun  and 
gaiety  in  her  life. 

Always,  however,  Helen  managed  to  be 
in  Her  place  in  the  choir  loft  of  a  nearby 
Methodist  Church  for  Sunday  services. 
And  at  school  she  made  the  time,  some- 
how, to  take  part  in  glee  club  concerts  and 
school  operettas. 

"Boys  weren't  important  to  me."  she 
explains.  "I  was  too  shy  to  have  any  fun 
with  them.  Or  for  them  to  have  any  fun 
with  me. 

"Then  I  grew  fat.  That  didn't  help  any. 
For  besides  becoming  awkward  physically 
I  became  awkward  mentally.  I  became 
self-conscious.  An  inferiority  complex  took 
hold  of  me.  I  didn't  have  enough  interest 
in  clothes." 

We  were  talking,  Helen  Jepson  and  I, 
in  her  living-room,  high  above  one  of  New 
York's  fashionable  avenues.  Even  in  that 
large  room  her  concert  grand  piano  was 
an  important  piece  of  furniture.  There 
were  flowers  about,  flowers  which  had  been 
sent  her  in  tribute,  on  her  recent  appearance' 
at  the  Metropolitan  Opera  House.  Bro- 
caded curtains  were  pulled  across  the 
windows  when  the  lamps  were  lighted. 
There  were  books.  And  beyond  was  a 
dining-room  large  enough  to  accommodate 
such  dinner  parties  as  a  famous  radio  star 
and  prima  donna  would  be  likely  to  give. 


{Continued  from  page  25) 

U       .  * 

Talking  of  the  awkward,  difficult  young 
person  she  had  been.  Helen  Jepson  re- 
garded her  long  pale  hands  with  their  coral- 
tinted  nails.  To  remember  undoubtedly 
when  they  were  rough  and  red  from  wash- 
tub  and  dishpan,  gritty  from  housecleaning. 
and  burned  from  inexperience  with  an 
oven. 

"Of  course."  she  said,  "no  healthy  girl 
goes  on  indefinitely  without  an  interest  in 
boys.  Sooner  or  later  at  least  one  comes 
along  to  capture  her  fancy.  With  more 
devastating  results  than  if  there  had  been 
a  dozen  before  him,  too." 

It  was  a  boy  on  the  school  football  team 
who  came"  to  occupy  Helen's  thoughts  day 
and  night.  "Weed"  was  his  name.  And 
when  he  played  Helen  used  to  shout  his 
name  until  she  was  hoarse,  calling  out  from 
the  stands  the  praise  she  was  too  shy  to 
give  him  otherwise. 

She  made  five  pounds  of  fudge  and  pre- 
sented it  to  the  team,  when  she  wanted  to 
make  one  or  two  pounds  and  give  it  all 
to  him !  She  drove  past  the  school  on 
Saturdays  and  offered  any  players  she 
could  find  a  lift  to  the  field.  She  hoped 
always,  of  course,  that  one  Weed  would 
be  among  her  passengers.  But  he  never 
was. 

She  gave  a  party.  She  got  up  at  five 
o'clock  in  the  morning  and  worked  all  day 
cleaning  the  house  and  fixing  the  refresh- 
ments which  she  provided  with  the  few 


dollars  she  had  managed  to  save  out 
expenses.    Weed  arrived  with  another  gi 
a  gay,  slim  girl  who  danced  like  a  dre; 
and  called  him  "Weed,  darling!" 

It   was  of  such   experiences   that  s 
talked   to   George    Possell   that  sumrr 
when  they  walked  together  and  rested 
a  boulder  to  light  their  cigarettes.  F 
what  once  had  been  Helen  Jepson's 
fortune  had  now  become  her  good  fortui 
And  she  knew  it.    She  realized,  you  s 
that  had  she  been  pretty  and  gay  and  pc 
ular  when   she   was  younger,   she  ne\ 
would  have  sought  compensation  in  t 
day  dreams  out  of  which  had  sprung  t 
ambition    which    had    brought  her 
Chautauqua. 

It  had  been  so  natural  for  her,  fat  a 
self-conscious,  lacking  the  flattery  a 
good  times  other  girls  took  for  grant< 
to  look  to  her  voice  for  an  escape, 
dream  of  herself  as  a  beautiful  and  fame 
soprano,  surrounded  with  flowers,  on  t 
Metropolitan  Opera  stage.  And  to  start 
working  then  and  there  to  make  the 
happy  dreams  come  true. 

When  Helen  graduated  from  High  Sch< 
she  was  given  a  job  in  the  same  store 
which  her  father  worked,  the  same  stc 
in  which,  a  year  or  two  prior  to  this, 
had  met  his  second  wife.  Helen  w 
assigned  to  the  corset  department.  A 
here  she  learned  more  than  the  details 
her  job.    Here  she  associated  with  otl

salesgirls,  to  learn  methods  of  reducing, 
to  learn  subtleties  of  dress,  to  develop  that 
feminine  sense  of  competition  which  forces 
girls  to  look  their  best.  Here  she  started 
out  to  play  the  role  of  the  girl  she  had 
dreamed  she  would  be,  a  gay,  quick  girl 
with  a  ready  smile,  warm  in  her  approach 
to  people,  and  not  stupidly  standoffish  any 
more. 

Her  firm  was  so  pleased  with  the  orders 
she  wrote  in  her  book  that  they  offered  to 
send  her  to  another  city  to  study  the  corset 
business  in  a  big  factory,  promising  her 
a  better  job  when  she  returned. 

Here  was  Helen's  first  big  opportunity. 
However  she  turned  it  down  to  take  a 
position  which  was  offered  her  in  a  music 
store.  It  didn't  have  the  promise  the  other 
job  had  but  it  meant  a  contact  with  music. 
And  to  Helen  music  had  become  synony- 
mous with  happiness.  Singing,  she  never 
had  been  a  self-conscious  little  fat  girl  but 
a  Voice.  A  Voice  lovely  and  liquid  and 
clear,  hearing  which  the  warm  admiration 
for  which  she  hungered  had  crept  into 
peoples'  eyes  and  the  praise  for  which  she 
was  starved  had  rushed  to  their  lips. 

The  next  year  automobile  manufacturers 
held  their  convention  in  Akron.  And 
Helen  sang  at  many  of  their  luncheons  and 
dinners.  In  costume,  the  way  she  long  had 
dreamed  of  herself  entertaining.  When 
her  song  was  of  Spain,  of  secluded  patios 
and  highly  grilled  windows  she  had  tied 
a  black  shawl,  bright  with  red  roses,  about 
her  head  and  there  had  been  ribbons  flying 
from  her  castanets.  And  if  she  sang  a 
sylvan  song  she  had  been  demure  as  a  por- 
celain shepherdess  with  crook  and  straw 


bonnet.  While  her  lovely  young  golden 
head  had  tilted  to  the  music  and  happiness 
had  shaken  bells  in  her  voice. 

Lonely  days  were  behind  Helen  now. 
If  the  boys  of  Akron  had  had  their  way 
she  would  have  been  left  no  time  for  any 
more  dreaming  or  for  transforming  her 
dreams  into  realities.  Rut  now  their  en- 
thusiasm and  their  bids  for  dates  and  their 
flattery  didn't  mean  what  it  once  would 
have  meant.  She  went  out  and  had  good 
times  but  not  for  one  single  second  did  she 
lose  sight  of  the  far  and  beckoning  hor- 
izon. The  gaiety  they  offered  her  now 
could  not  compete  with  the  visions  all 
those  lonely  years  had  fostered. 

That  very  summer,  in  fact,  Helen  left 
Akron  to  visit  her  aunt  in  Chautauqua, 
New  York.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  one 
of  the  most  attractive  and  wealthiest 
young  men  of  the  city  had  asked  her  to 
marry  him. 

"I  can't,  darling!"  Now  Helen  could 
be  easy  and  friendly  and  understanding 
with  the  boys,  too.  "I  can't.  You  see  I 
have  to  sing  ....  This  isn't  any  whim 
with  me.  Believe  that.  It's  something 
I've  thought  about  and  dreamed  and 
planned  for  .  .  .  oh,  ages  and  ages!  If  I 
didn't,  I'd  be  untrue  to  myself!" 

That  boy  did  try  to  understand.  He 
loved  her  enough  for  that.  And  I  happen 
to  know  that  although  he  has  been  married 
now  for  several  years  he  never  has  for- 
gotten her. 

It  was  during  Helen's  first  summer  at 
Chautauqua,  the  summer  before  she  met 
George  Possell,  that  Horatio  Connell 
heard  her  sing  and  suggested  that  she  try 


for  a  scholarship  at  the  Curtis  Institute  in 
Philadelphia. 

"1  promise  nothing,"  he  told  her  as  she 
stood  before  him,  hope  lighting  little  fires 
in  her  eyes.  "I  promise  nothing,  my  dear, 
but  I  do  think  you  have  a  most  excellent 
chance." 

That  was  enough  for  Helen.  Her 
father  and  stepmother  and  her  younger 
sister  thought  she  was  a  little  mad,  in 
September,  when  they  discovered  that  she 
had  returned  to  Akron  only  long  enough 
to  see  all  of  them  and  get  her  winter  ward- 
robe in  shape  before  turning  east  again, 
towards  Philadelphia. 

"But,"  her  father  protested,  "you've  only 
seventy-five  dollars  left.  Your  railroad 
fare  will  take  most  of  that.  And  even  if 
you  should  win  the  scholarship  you'll  have 
to  live  and  it's  not  much  I  can  send  you." 

"It  does  seem  mad,  I  grant  that,"  Helen 
admitted,  "but  I  have  to  go."  And  then 
she  told  her  father  what  she  had  told  her 
beau.  "You  see,  this  means  a  chance  to 
accomplish  something  I've  thought  about 
for  years.  If  I  didn't  go  I'd  be  untrue  to 
myself." 

In  that  hour,  looking  into  his  daughter's 
grave  eyes,  listening  to  the  determination 
in  her  voice,  surely  Mr.  Jepson  realized 
that  those  who  live  in  the  house  with  us, 
those  we  hold  closest,  those  who  are  our 
own  flesh  and  blood,  can  be  utter  strangers 
to  us,  too. 

For  during  the  last  few  years,  at  any 
rate,  Mr.  Jepson  had.  had  reason  to  think 
Helen  frivolous  andkgay,  preoccupied  with 
pretty  clothes  and  with  new  ways  of  doing 
her  bright  hair.    And  so  she  had  been.

Hut  this  had  nothing  at  all  to  do  with  lier 
inner  life. 

She  won  her  scholarship.  Naturally.  A 
voice  like  Helen  Jepson's,  even  when  un- 
trained, would  he  one  in  a  thousand  any- 
where, under  any  circumstances. 

The  same  day  Helen  won  her  scholar- 
ship a  pretty  girl  approached  her  in  the 
Institute  corridor.  "1  want  to  live  with 
you,"  she  said. 

Helen  liked  this  girl.  Right  off.  "I'd 
like  to  live  with  you,  too,"  she  said.  "But 
I'll  have  to  live  very  frugally.  On  what- 
ever my  father  is  able  to  send  me." 

They  found  a  room  a  long  way  from  the 
Institute,  outside  of  the  city  limits.  They 
climbed  five  flights  of  narrow  steep  stairs 
to  reach  it.  In  it  were  two  cots  with 
padding  that  passed  for  mattresses.  A 
couple  of  straight  chairs.  A  table.  And 
strips  of  cloth  at  the  windows  for  curtains. 
But  here  they  were  permitted  to  use  a 
single  burner  gas  stove.  And  this  meant 
they  could  cook  the  food  they  bought, 
generally  in  cans,  with  the  few  dollars  that 
were  left  over  when  their  room  rent  was 
paid. 

"However,"  Helen  says,  "it  was  fun ! 
Two  boys,  as  poor  as  we  were — you 
couldn't  be  poorer! — who  were  studying  to 
be  artists,  had  a  similar  room  across  the 
court.  They  used  to  come  over,  bring  their 


own  cans  of  soup  or  hash  or  beans  when 
they  came  for  dinner. 

"It  took  us  ages  to  get  dinner,  naturally, 
with  only  one  burner.  And  we  ate  it 
seated  on  the  floor  before  two  lighted 
candles  which  we  pretended  were  a  fire 
place.-' 

The  second  year  Helen  was  at  Philadel 
phia  things  were  different.  Now  the  In 
stitute  allowed  the  scholarship  pupili 
something  towards  their  living  expenses 
This  helped  immeasurably.  It  made  occa- 
sional trips  to  New  York  possible,  when 
George  Possell  was  playing  there  and 
could  not  get  away.  From  Monday  to 
Friday  Helen  was  a  student.  W  eek-ends 
she  held  out  for  romance. 

She  and  George  went  to  concerts  to- 
gether that  year  and  it  seemed  to  Helen 
that  the  music  reached  her  through  his 
hand  as  he  held  her  hand.  They  had  din 
ners  in  tea-rooms  and  little  restaurants 
specializing  in  Swedish  and  Russian  and 
Japanese  food.  And  once,  returning  to  one 
of  these  places  a  few  years  later,  neither  of 
them  had  even  the  vaguest  recollection  of 
ever  having  been  there  before!  That  was 
the  way  it  was  with  them.  They  knew 
nothing  beyond  each  other's  eyes. 

"I  probably  never  would  have  finished 
at  Curtis,"  Helen  admits,  "if  I  hadn't  felt 
a  very  definite  sense  of  responsibility  to-

wards  those  people  who  had  interested 
themselves  both  personally  and  financially 
in  my  future. 

"Goodness  knows,  after  I'd  finished,  we 
didn*t  wait  long  to  get  married!" 

Just  a  few  months,  while  Helen  filled 
concert  engagements  and  played  minor 
roles  with  one  or  two  operatic  companies, 
so  that  she  might  earn  money  to  buy  some 
of  the  things  upon  which  a  girl  about  to 
be  married  sets  her  heart.  A  wedding  suit 
of  henna  with  a  jaunty  hat  to  match.  A 
powder-blue  blouse.  Henna  to  complement 
her  dark  eyes.  Powder-blue  for  her  fair 
skin  and  fair  hair. 

They  were  married,  Helen  and  George 
Possell.  at  the  famous  Little  Church 
Around  the  Corner.  And  when  Helen  and 
her  father  walked  down  the  aisle,  surely  he 
must  have  marvelled  that  the  shy,  fat  little 
girl,  who  had  kept  his  house  clean  and 
cooked  his  meals,  had  grown  up  to  be  the 
lovely  young  woman  on  his  arm. 

All  the  way  down  that  aisle  admiring 
whispers  followed  them.  And  there  was 
no  mistaking  the  emotion  of  the  man  who 
waited  at  the  altar.  Love  had  hung  bright 
banners  in  his  kind  eyes. 

It  was  Europe  for  the  honeymoon  .  .  . 
George  Possell  wanted  to  lead  Helen 
about  the  old  cities  he  already  knew,  to 
kneel  in  great  cathedrals  with  her  at  his 
side,  to  introduce  her  to  the  opera  in 
Rome  and  in  Paris,  to  buy  her  jonquils, 
golden  as  her  hair,  from  the  old  flower 
woman  who  sits  year  in  and  year  out  on 
the  Ponte  Vecchio. 

Wherever  they  went  Helen  was  ad- 
mired. There  was  that  about  her,  young 
and  slim,  lovely  and  gay,  which  seemed  to 
turn  mens'  heads.  The  doctor  on  the  ship 
on  which  they  sailed  was  reprimanded  by 
the  captain  for  following  her  about,  un- 
mindful of  his  duties.  And  it  was  the  same 
at  Venice,  at  Lake  Como.  even  in  that 
haunt  of  the  world's  fairest  women.  Paris. 
And  through  it  all  George  Possell  smiled. 

Too  soon  their  two  months  were  over. 
Back  in  America  they  rented  a  small 
apartment.  George  took  up  his  engage- 
ments again.  And  Helen  alternated  be- 
tween engagements  and  housekeeping. 
Once  more  she  cooked  and  swept  and 
dusted.  She  even  did  the  washing.  And 
it  was  while  sewing  on  buttons  and  darning 
socks  that  she  vocalized. 

Sometimes  it  was  nine  or  ten  o'clock 
before  they  had  dinner,  because  Helen  had 
filled  an  afternoon  engagement  in  Philadel- 
phia and  had  been  late  getting  home.  But 
neither  of  them  cared. 

They  had  a  plan — a  plan  which  meant 
that  they  must  save  every  possible  penny. 
Before  Helen  was  caught  up  in  her  career 
they  wanted  to  have  a  baby.  During  the 
months  when  she  couldn't  fill  engagements 
any  longer  she  was  to  study  with  Queena 
Mario,  so  that  she  might  be  still  better 
prepared  for  the  triumphs  of  which  she 
dreamed  and  which  George  Possell  was 
sure  were  before  her. 

It  all  worked  out  perfectly.  Joan  Pos- 
sell arrived  looking  as  babies  look  in 
romantic  illustrations,  with  wonderment 
in  her  big  eyes  and  a  fluff  of  gold  for  hair. 
And  Queena  Mario,  the  Metropolitan 
Opera  star,  was  enthusiastic  about  Helen's 
voice. 

However  no  one  asked  Helen  to  sing. 
It  was  the  lowest  point  in  the  Depression.

difficulty  in  finding  engagements.  She 
tried  not  to  show  her  discouragement,  she 
continued  to  study  and  take  care  of  her 
home  and  her  baby,  but  George  Possell 
knew  she  felt  very  badly. 

"I  wish  you'd  let  Helen  work  for  you," 
he  told  a  friend  of  his  who  managed  the 
Little  Symphony.  "Give  her  something, 
no  matter  how  small  it  is.  She  can't  get 
any  engagements,  naturally  enough,  with 
tilings  the  way  they  are.  And  she  needs 
work  to  keep  her  happy." 

The  friend  was  obliging.  He  called 
Helen  up  and  asked  her  to  sing  for  him. 
That  was  the  last  favor  George  Possell 
had  to  ask  of  anyone!  The  next  thing 
they  knew  Helen  was  asked  to  be  the  guest 
star  on  Rudy  Yallee's  program.  Then  she 
sang  with  Paul  Whiteman,  with  such 
success  that  she  was  given  a  contract. 

This  past  winter  Helen  made  her  Met- 
ropolitan Opera  debut.  It  was  at  a  matinee. 
The  opera  was  "In  the  Pasha's  Garden." 
George  drove  with  her  to  the  Opera 
House.  Then  he  disappeared.  He  prowled 
about  the  back  of  the  orchestra  while  he 
watched  the  rows  of  seats  fill  to  their 
capacity,  while  he  waited  for  the  orchestra 
to  tune  up,  to  begin,  waited  for  the  great 
curtain  to  rise — for  Helen  to  come  on  the 
stage. 

At  last  she  made  her  entrance.  She 
began  to  sing.  Her  voice  reached  him, 
lovely  and  liquid  and  clear.  He  had  heard 
her  sing  like  this  a  hundred  times  .  .  . 
driving  along  country  roads  in  a  funny 
little  Chevy  .  .  .  beside  a  lake  in  the  Italian 
Alps  .  .  .  while  she  cooked  frogs-legs  in 
their  first  little  kitchen  .  .  .  singing  a 
lullaby  to  their  baby  .  .  . 

Is  it  surprising  that  he  rushed  out  of 
that  Opera  House  filled  with  emotion? 
That  he  found  it  difficult  not  to  go  up  to 
people  walking  past  him  in  the  street,  to 
tell  the  : i  of  the  beautiful  young  opera  star 
making  her  debut  inside,  not  to  shout  that 
Helen  Jepson,  whose  lovely  face  they  saw- 
on  billboards  and  in  the  papers,  was  his 
wife  ? 

Cur  iously  enough  Helen  wasn't  ner%-ous 
on  that  great  day.  They  marvelled  over 
her  when  she  returned  back  stage  because 
not  once  had  her  voice  shaken  or  trembled. 
And  when  the  orchids  and  American 
Beauties  and  all  the  other  flowers  that  can 
be  forced  into  January  blooming  were 
handed  up  on  to  the  stage  for  her  and  she 
stood  there  smiling  and  bowing,  there 
were  those  who  shook  their  heads  and  in- 
sisted she  must  indeed  be  in  a  daze,  that 
such  consummate  poise  could  not  be. 

They  didn't  know,  you  see,  that  for 
Helen  Jepson  all  of  this  was,  in  a  way,  an 
old,  old  story — that  for  years  she  had  seen 
herself  standing  there  with  a  king's  ran- 
som hi  flowers  banked  about  her  feet, 
hearing  just  such  a  frenzied  clapping  of 
hands. 

They  didn't  know,  you  see,  that  once 
upon  a  time  the  charming  and  beautiful 
prima  donna  standing  there  had  been  a  shy 
little  fat  girl  who  in  her  loneliness  had 
turned  to  dreams  and  that  by  putting  her 
heart  into  those  dreams  she  had  come  such 
a  long,  magical  way  that  now  nothing 
could  surprise  her.  For  this  is  the  first 
time  this  story  had  been  told.

worth  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dol- 
lars. But  Phil  hadn't  resented  the  ex- 
pense. Gone  was  the  financially  cautious 
entertainer  who  had  earned  his  money 
with  his  "Sunday  Night  at  Seth  Park- 
er's" programs.  Here  was  Phil  Lord,  ad- 
venturer ! 

But  to  his  critics  it  made  little  differ- 
ence. They  began  their  stories  from  the 
moment  he  bought  the  ship.  I'm  going 
to  answer  their  assertions  with  the  facts 
as  1  have  been  able  to  determine  them. 

First,  was  the  schooner  seaworthy?  The 
vessel,  formerly  named  the  Geort/ette,  was 
built  in  1918  and  engaged  in  the  Australian 
wool  trade.  Sixteen  years  isn't  very  old 
for  such  a  vessel. 

Was  she  too  unsafe  to  be  insured  for 
the  projected  voyage?  The  inspector,  who 
boarded  the  ship  to  determine  whether  or 
not  the  broadcasting  company's  equipment 
could  be  insured,  came,  apparently,  at  an 
inopportune  time.  Many  visitors  aboard 
were  smoking  and  several  stoves  in  the 
interior  were  going  full  blast.  "Fire  haz- 
ard," reported  the  inspector. 

Hence  the  rumors  flitting  about  the 
radio  world  that  Lord  was  putting  to  sea 
in  an  unseaworthy  ship.  Facts  seem  to 
indicate  otherwise.  Lloyds  of  London 
offered  to  insure  her  at  a  rate  lower  than 
usually  was  demanded  in  such  cases.  The 
deal  was  almost  closed  when  Lord  recalled 
that  the  fire  hazard  record,  though  the 
stoves  had  been  taken  out  and  there  no 
longer  were  visitors,  had  never  been 
cleared.  If  she  were  insured,  then  dam- 
aged by  fire  with  this  black  mark  against 
her,  he  might  not  be  able  to  collect.  And 
a  Lloyds'  inspector  was  not  available  to 
change  this  record  before  he  put  to  sea. 

Was  Lord  competent  to  command  the 
vessel?  Was  he  worthy  of  the  trust  placed 
in  him  by  the  parents  of  the  seven  boys 
who  had  signed  on  with  him?  The 
youngsters,  ranging  in  age  from  eighteen 
to  twenty,  had  asked  him  for  jobs  when 
they  had  come  to  the  vessel  as  visitors. 
Should  he  have  accepted  the  responsibility  ? 

Lord  had  sailed  a  good  deal  as  an  ama- 
teur sportsman.  But  to  make  certain  that 
all  would  be  in  competent  hands,  he  took 
along  Captain  Constantin  Flink,  skipper  of 
the  Seth  Parker  before  Phil  bought  it, 
and  former  navigator  in  the  Imperial  Rus- 
sian Navy.  In  all  his  thirty-one  years  at 
sea  Flink  hadn't  lost  a  ship. 

Why  no  one  had  seemed  able  to  dispel 
all  these  rumors  is  hard  to  understand.  It 
was  worse  when  Phil  reached  the  West 
Indies.  Stories  of  wild  drinking  parties 
aboard  the  ship,  as  she  cruised  these  wat- 
ers, were  bandied  about.  Though  I've 
determined  to  my  own  satisfaction  that 
they  originated  with  a  disgruntled  former 
member  of  the  expedition,  the  world  in 
general  never  knew  this. 

Soon  afterward  the  American  Consul 
at  Jamaica  protested  to  Washington  over 
Lord's  failure  to  report  to  him  when  he 
dropped  anchor  there.  There  was  no  ne- 
cessity for  Lord  to  report  to  him,  since 


the  Seth  Parker  was  not  a  commercial 
vessel,  but  before  the  consul  had  realized 
this  he  was  burning  the  wires  with  cables 
to  the  State  Department.  A  greatly  ex- 
aggerated story  charging  misconduct  on 
Lord's  part  reached  the  ears  of  the  net- 
work officials.  One  of  them,  upset  by  the 
apparent  seriousness  of  the  situation, 
boarded  a  plane  and  sped  to  Jamaica. 

When  the  official  returned  gossip  sain! 
that  he  was  furious  with  Lord,  that  the 
expedition,  as  far  as  the  broadcasting  com- 
pany was  concerned,  was  all  washed  up. 
I  know  this  is  untrue.  Actually  he  exon- 
erated Lord  of  any  wrong-doing  and  was 
eager  that  the  broadcasts  continue. 

After  that  it  looked  for  a  time  as  though 
Phil  were  going  to  have  pretty  smooth 
sailing  for  the  adventure  lands  of  which 
he'd  dreamed.  Then  in  the  Galapagos  Is- 
lands, on  the  equator  off  the  coast  of 
Ecuador,  he  ran  into  one  of  the  most  ro- 
mantic adventure  stories  of  the  century. 

You  probably  have  read  about  it  in  the 
papers.  Lord  was  instrumental  in  help- 
ing to  solve  the  strange  mystery  of  the 
islands.  The  first  inkling  of  it  had  come 
to  the  outer  world  when  a  tiny  fishing 
schooner  reported  the  discovery  of  two 
decomposed  human  bodies  on  the  shore 
of  lonely  Marchena  Island. 

The  little  colony  on  nearby  Charles  Is- 
land was  a  strange  one.  It  had  been 
started  by  Dr.  Karl  Ritter  and  Frau  Dore 
Koervin  who  had  come  there  from  Ger- 
many to  find  Utopian  freedom.  Later  a 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wittmer  had  arrived  for  the 
same  purpose.  And  lastly  had  come  the 
self-styled  Baroness  Eloise  Bosquet  de 
Wagner  Wehrborn  with  her  companions. 
Alfred  Lorenz  and  Rudolph  Pbillipson. 
The  only  other  resident  of  the  island  was 
one  Nuggerud.  a  Norwegian  who  owned 
a  small  fishing  vessel. 

Lorenz  had  had  several  bitter  rows  with 
the  Baroness  and  one  day  he  reported  to 
the  Wittmers  that  she  and  Phillipson  had 
gone  away  in  an  American  yacht.  That 
was  the  last  ever  heard  of  the  Baroness. 
Phillipson  or  Lorenz  alive.  And  that  was 
the  situation  in  the  colony  when  the  Seth 
Parker  dropped  anchor  off  the  island. 

Phil  invited  the  Wittmers  to  dinner 
aboard  the  schooner.  It  was  touching 
to  see  Mrs.  Wittmer  when  she  caught 
sight  of  the  piano  in  the  after  cabin.  It 
was  the  first  she  had  seen  in  five  years. 
She  wept  as  she  played. 

Soon  afterward  the  Seth  Parker  sailed 
away.  A  few  days  later  news  came  to 
the  outer  world  of  the  discovery  of  the 
bodies  on  Marchena  Island.  Near  one  of 
the  bodies  lay  some  baby  clothing.  A  child 
had  been  born  to  Mrs.  Wittmer  on  Charles 
Island  and  the  newspapers  concluded 
that  the  body  was  that  of  the  mother. 

In  a  broadcast  from  the  schooner,  Lord 
denied  the  possibility,  since  the  Wittmers 
had  been  his  guests  within  the  week. 

He  proved  to  be  right,  for  at  the  next 
port  of  call  he  received  letters  from  ?<Irs. 
Wittmer  showing  she  was  alive  and  well. 


RADIO  STARS 


These  letters  added  the  final  chapter  to  the 
fantastic  story.  Dr.  Ritter  had  died  from 
eating  poisoned  meat. 

From  what  Lord  disclosed  many  have 
concluded  that  Lorenz  murdered  the  Bar- 
oness and  Phillipson,  disposed  of  their 
bodies  and  sailed  with  Nuggerud  to  the 
mainland  of  Ecuador,  taking  with  him 
baby  clothing  Mrs.  Wittmer  had  given  him 
to  use  as  samples  for  the  purchase  of  more. 
On  their  way,  a  storm  apparently  drove 
them  on  to  Marchena  Island  where  there 
was  no  water,  and  they  died  of  thirst. 

More  adventure  lay  ahead  of  Lord — 
heartbreaking  adventure.  He  had  been 
worried  for  several  weeks.  His  funds  had 
been  dwindling  rapidly  and  any  mishap 
would  mean  the  end  of  his  expedition. 

That  Thursday  night  when  the  bar- 
ometer began  to  drop  and  the  seas  to 
mount,  he  felt  apprehensive.  About  mid- 
night the  hurricane  struck  savagely  and 
the  ship  heeled  down  hard.  Water  cascaded 
down  the  companionway. 

"All  hands!"  he  shouted.  "Down  all 
sails  !    Double  reef  mains'l !" 

The  cadets  slipped  and  staggered  across 
the  decks,  struggling  for  footing  as  they 
heaved  on  the  downhauls.  Three  hours 
they  fought  while  thundering  seas  broke 
over  the  decks  before  the  wet  canvas 
could  be  furled. 

At  nine  o'clock  Friday  night,  eyes  red 
from  sleeplessness.  Phil  braced  himself  in 
the  doorway  of  the  radio  room.  "Find 
out  what  ships  are  near  enough  to  come 
to  our  assistance,  Sweeny,"  he  ordered. 

"Bad  as  that,  Phil?"  demanded  the  ra- 
dio operator. 

"Worse,"  Lord  croaked.  "Wind's  hur- 
ricane force  now.  Barometer's  still  drop- 
ping. We  can't  come  about  to  heave  to 
and  ride  it  out  now.  If  these  seas  get 
any  worse,  we're  going  to  go  clean  over." 

Sweeny  reached  grimly  for  the  key.  Af- 
,  ter  a  few  minutes  he  looked  up  at  Lord. 
"British  cruiser  Australia,  Duke  of  Glou- 
cester aboard,  three  hundred  and  fifty 
miles  away.  Coming  to  us  at  twenty-two 
knots." 

Phil  turned  the  command  over  to  Cap- 
tain Flink  and  went  to  sprawl  wearily  on 
his  bunk.  He'd  tried  to  keep  the  truth  of 
the  danger  from  the  young  crew.  The 

i  schooner  was  not  heavily  enough  ballasted. 

[  He  knew  that  a  big  enough  wave  would 

,  capsize  her.    He  ran  his  hands  across  his 

,  eyes,  trying  to  brush  away  the  horrible 
vision  of  the  boys  trapped 

,  capsized  ship. 

The  night  was  an  eternity 

I  stood   by   the   wheelman  as 

i  dawn  crept  on  them.  With 
grew  lighter.  The  seas  had  subsided  some- 
what. Suddenly  he  whooped  jubilantly. 
Through  the  mist  of  spume  thrown  up 

I  by  the  angry  seas,  he  saw  the  ghostly  shape 
of  the  approaching  British  cruiser. 

By  noon  the  storm  had  subsided.  The 
cruiser,  satisfied  that  she  had  stood  by 
during  the  worst  of  the  hurricane,  plowed 
off  again.    Lord  was  troubled.    He  hated 

•to  call  a  ship  out  of  her  course  like  that, 
only  to  have  it  find  it  was  not  needed. 
But  hardly  was  the  Australia  hull  down 

•over  the  horizon  than  the  barometer  be- 
gan  dropping  again.     He   realized  then 

•with  sinking  heart  that  it  had  been  but  a 
temporary  lull  in  the  storm.  The  wind 
was  tearing  again  at  the  weakened  rigging.

JUST  as  though  it  were  about  some- 
thing of  slight  importance,  this 
tossing  back  and  forth  of  hearsay  goes 
on  and  on — among  women.  "Hear- 
say" or  "misinformation,"  which  is 
it?  The  two  words  are  really  synony- 
mous when  this  most  serious  subject 
of  feminine  hygiene  is  being  dis- 
cussed. Don't  pay  any  attention  to  all 
the  worthless  talk.  Here  are  the  real 
facts. 

There  has  been  a  sweeping  change 
in  the  whole  idea  of  feminine  hygiene. 
Many  women,  otherwise  modern,  are 
surprisingly  unaware  of  this.  The 
change  is  in  the  antiscpt'c. 

Zotiite  is  safe  and  strong 
In  the  field  of  antiseptics  there  is 
an  improvement  which  is  breath- 
taking in  its  benefit  to  women.  Do  you 
know  Zonite?  This  remarkable  anti- 
septic-germicide is  as  gentle  as  pure 
water  upon  the  human  tissues.  And  it 
is  far  more  powerful  than  any  dilu- 
tion of  carbolic  acid  that  may  be 
safely  allowed  on  the  human  body. 

A  generation  ago  it  would  have 
seemed  incredible  that  an  antiseptic 
like  Zonite  could  exist.  In  those  days 
the  only  germicides  powerful  enough 
for  feminine  hygiene  were  caustic 
and  poisonous.  Yet  here  is  this  mar- 
velous Zonite  now  available  to  every 
woman  in  America! 

Zonite  is  strong  and  Zonite  is  safe. 


Zonite  will  never  harm  any  woman, 
never  cause  any  damage  to  sensitive 
tissues,  never  leave  an  area  of  scar 
tissue.  On  the  contrary.  Zonite  is  gen- 
tle and  soothing  in  its  action.  Sold  at 
all  drug  stores,  in  bottles,  at  30<-,  60c 
and  $1.00. 

Zonite  Suppositories  Also  Sold 

Zonite  also  comes  in  semi-solid  forms 
called  Zonite  Suppositories  and  your 
druggist  has  these  for  sale,  at  $1.00 
for  a  box  of  a  dozen.  Zonite  Supposi- 
tories are  dainty,  white  and  grease- 
less.  Each  is  hygienically  sealed  in  its 
own  glass  vial.

her  hold,  began  rolling  more  terrifyingly 
than  ever. 

Each  minute  that  passed,  Phil  prayed 
that  the  gale  would  lessen.  Late  Sunday 
afternoon  he  knew  he  could  hold  off  no 
longer.  The  message  he  flashed  to  the 
Australia,  by  now  far  away  again,  only 
hinted  at  the  despair  in  his  heart : 

"Feel  humiliated  to  come  to  you 
after  subsiding  seas,  but  wind  now 
gale  force.  Rigging  already  going.  Try- 
ing to  refrain  from  sending  distress 
signals,  but  fear  only  a  matter  of 
hours." 

A  few  moments  later  the  hurricane  was 
lashing  the  ship  again  with  its  full  fury. 
Phil  ordered  the  SOS  sent. 

And  back  in  New  York  they  were  laugh- 
ing. They  laughed  because  they  had  lis- 
tened to  the  re-broadcast  of  his  talk  over 
a  network  late  Saturday  night,  in  which 
he  told  the  story  of  the  storm  up  to  then. 
It  struck  them  as  impossible  that  he  would 
broadcast  from  a  ship  in  distress.  They 
were  smugly  certain  he  was  hoaxing  them. 
One  newspaper  headline  chortled  thus : 
"Seth  Parker  hero,  says  Seth  Parker." 

Daylight  revealed  the  Australia  hove  to 
near  by.  Messages  snapped  back  and 
forth  between  the  pitching  vessels  and  a 
short  time  later  a  boatload  of  British  tars 
was  fighting  its  way  toward  the  sailing 
ship.  Ten  of  the  Seth  Parker  crew,  wear- 
ing life  belts,  clung  to  the  rail.  The  cadets 
among  them  looked  appealingly  at  Lord. 
He  shook  his  head.    All  wanted  to  stay. 

"Boys,"  he  said.  "I  can't  leave  the  ship. 
My  fortune  is  sunk  in  her.  Sweeny  can't 
leave.    He's  responsible  for  thousands  of 


dollars  worth  of  broadcasting  equipment 
Captain  Flink  is  staying.  I'm  responsibl 
for  you,  so  I'm  going  to  let  only  two  o 
you  stay.  The  rest  of  you  have  draw* 
lots  and  lost.    That's  all." 

The  British  lifeboat  was  holding  of 
some  forty  feet  from  the  schooner,  no 
daring  to  come  closer  for  fear  of  bein; 
crushed  against  her  side.  Phil  bit  his  li' 
as  the  first  lad  jumped  into  the  sea  am 
began  swimming  toward  the  lifeboat.  No 
until  the  last  of  those  going  had  beei 
taken  safely  back  to  the  Australia  did  hi 
relax  his  grip  on  the  stanchion. 

Two  days  later  Phil  stood  on  the  quie 
decks  of  his  forlorn  vessel.  The  storm  hat 
passed.  The  cruiser  had  long  since  lef 
with  the  bulk  of  his  crew.  He  lookec 
ahead  at  the  U.  S.  Navy  tug  that  ha( 
arrived  and  was  towing  him  ignominiousl; 
to  Samoa.  He  glanced  at  the  sheet  o 
paper  in  his  hand  on  which  was  writtei 
the  farewell  message  from  the  Captaii 
of  the  Australia.  Word  had  come  to  hin 
of  the  skepticism  of  the  outer  world.  Bu 
even  this  message  was  of  little  comfort 

"I  realize  what  you  have  been 
through,"  it  read,  "and  am  satisfied 
that  there  never  has  been  any  question 
you  called  on  me  unnecessarily. 
Goodbye  and  good  luck." 

Phil's  gaze  wandered  over  his  wrecke 
vessel.    Nothing  to  do  but  sell^her  no

An  Open  Letter  to 
Mrs.  Rudy  Vallee 

(Continued  from  page  15) 

carried  you  out  of  a  career  as  a  motion 
picture  actress  into  brief  happiness  and 
then  to  a  marital  debacle,  can  sweep  you 
back  to  days  crowded  with  the  joy  of 
living.  The  mood  isn't  easy  to  change, 
it  needs  your  own  help.  But  the  reward 
is  greater  than  any  victory  in  court, 
greater  than  any  cash  sum  your  lawyers 
may  eventually  be  able  to  wring  from 
Rudy  Yallee's  lawyers. 

And  here  is  one  final  thought !  Coming 
to  work  this  morning,  I  caught  a  taxi. 
The  driver  told  me  his  average  earnings 
were  twenty-one  dollars  a  week.  The 
trainman  on  my  train  gets  thirty-two  dol- 
lars. The  elevator  operator  who  brought 
me  up  to  my  office  is  lucky  when  he  gets 
more  than  twenty-one-fifty  a  week.  The 
girl  at  the  switchboard  in  the  office  (she's 
been  on  the  job  six  years,  by  the  way) 
gets  a  weekly  salary  of  thirty-seven  dol- 
lars. Each  of  those  folk  are  real  people, 
with  families  to  support,  with  sick  kid- 
dies, and  doctors'  bills  to  meet.  But  they're 
pretty  happy  about  their  jobs. 

What  I'm  trying  to  say,  Fay  Webb 
Vallee,  is  just  this :  one  hundred  dollars 
a  week  represents  unbelievable  riches  to 
millions  of  people.  You  pass  them  by 
the  hundreds  every  time  you  go  on  the 
street.  Regardless  of  how  little  it  seems 
to  your  lawyers,  one  hundred  dollars  a 
week  with  a  mind  that  is  at  peace  is  cer- 
tain to  bring  you  far  greater  happiness  in 
'the  long  run  than  a  bitter,  vindictive 
spirit,  even  though  that  spirit  is  soothed 
by  a  million-dollar  settlement. 

Earnestly  and  sincerely  yours, 
(Mrs.)  Alice  Payne  Grace

IF  your  physical  let-down  is  caused  by  a 
lowered  red-blood-cell  and  hemo-glo-bin 
content  in  tlie  blood — then  S.S.S.  is  waiting 
to  help  you . . .  though,  if  you  suspect  an 
organic  trouble,  you  will,  of  course,  want 
to  consult  a  physician  or  surgeon. 

S.S.S.  is  not  just  a  so-called  tonic.  It  is 
a  tonic  specially  designed  to  stimulate  gas- 
tric secretions,  and  also  has  the  mineral 
elements  so  very,  very  necessary  in  rebuild- 
ing the  oxygen-carrying  hemo-glo-bin  of 
the  blood. 

This  two-fold  purpose  is  important.  Diges- 
tion is  improved  . . .  food  is  better  utilized 
—  and  thus  you  are  enabled  to  better  "car- 
ry on"  without  exhaustion — as  you  should. 

You  may  have  the  will-power  to  be  "up 
and  doing"  but  unless  your  blood  is  in  top 
notch  form  you  are  not  fully  yourself  and 
you  may  remark,  "I  wonder  why  I  tire  so 
easily." 

Let  S.S.S.  help  build  back  your  blood 
tone  ...  if  your  case  is  not  exceptional,  you 
should  soon  enjoy  again  the  satisfaction  of 
appetizing  food  . . .  sound  sleep  . . .  steady 
nerves  ...  a  good  complexion  . . .  and  re- 
newed strength. 

S.S.S.  is  sold  by  all  drug  stores  in  two 
convenient  sizes.  The  $2  economy  size  is 
twice  as  large  as  the  $1.25  regular  size  and 
is  sufficient  for  two  weeks  treatment.  Begin

I'm  Clad  My  Wife  Divorced  Me 


(Continued  jrom  page  35) 


integral  part  of  it  all.  And  lie  adored  it. 

As  for  love,  he  was  the  world's  prize 
cynic.  "Finding  love  on  Broadway,"  he 
said,  'is  just  like  eating  ice-cream  and 
pickles.  It's  simple  enough  to  do,  but  it's 
pretty  tough  to  hold.  As  for  me,  I'm  not 
making  a  sap  of  myself  over  any  doll.  I 
know  wlien  I'm  well  off." 

And  then  this  man-of-the-world,  this 
prize  skeptic,  met  Gladys  Glad.  It  hap- 
pened this  way.  One  day  his  paper  as- 
signed him  to  handle  a  contest  to  choose 
the  most  beautiful  showgirl  in  the  world. 
There  he  met  Gladys  Glad,  the  winner. 
With  her  tall  and  willowy  figure,  her  pansy 
eyes  fringed  with  incredibly  long  lashes, 
her  skin  like  sun-kissed  peaches,  and  her 
wavy  honey-colored  hair,  the  contest  was 
a  pushover  for  her. 

And  so  was  Mark.  The  moment  he  laid 
eyes  on  her  his  cynicism  dropped  away 
from  him  like  a  cloak.  He  followed  her 
about  like  a  moonstruck  calf  and  begged 
and  pleaded  for  dates.  Night  after  night 
he  climbed  six  flights  to  the  walkup  Bronx 
apartment  in  which  she  lived  with  her 
family.  You  have  to  be  pretty  much  in 
love  to  do  that. 

At  first  Gladys  couldn't  see  Hellinger 
at  all.  What,  marry  a  newspaperman, 
when  she  had  the  whole  world  at  her  feet? 

But  Hellinger  swept  her  off  her  feet  be- 
fore she  realized  what  was  happening.  His 
laughter,  his  gayety,  his  companionship  soon 
meant  more  to  her  than  all  the  orchids 
sent  her  by  millionaires.  So  she  married 
him. 

They  sailed  on  a  glorious  honeymoon 
cruise  to  California  and  spent  most  of  their 
time  looking  into  each  other's  eyes.  And 
when  they  came  back  it  was  pretty  ob- 
vious that  these  two  kids  were  madly  in 
love  with  each  other. 

Many  times  rapturous  young  couples 
along  Broadway  had  said  to  Mark: 
"You're  a  pretty  cynical  young  man,  Hell- 
inger. And  we  suppose  you  have  a  right 
to  be.  Most  Broadway  marriages  wind 
up  nowhere.  But  ours  will  be  different. 
We  understand  things,  and  we  understand 
each  other.  We  may  be  kids,  but  we're  not 
babies." 

And  Mark  always  had  laughed  at  them. 
He  had  heard  the  same  line  so  often !  Yet 
now  he  himself  was  thinking:  "Of  course 
most  Broadway  marriages  fail.  But  Gladys 
and  I  are  different.  We  know  Broadway 
for  what  it  is,  and  we  understand  each 
other." 

For  a  time  it  looked  as  if  he  were  right. 
At  the  beginning  things  went  beautifully. 
Night  after  night  you'd  see  handsome,  care- 
free young  Mark  Hellinger,  proud  as  a 
peacock,  in  his  accustomed  Broadway 
haunts.  Clinging  to  his  arm  was  his  lovely, 
glamorous  bride,  Gladys  Glad. 

Mark  certainly  thought  that  his  child- 
bride  was  a  swell  girl.  "She's  Mahatma 
Gandhi,  she's  the  top,"  he  would  have  sung 
if  the  song  had  been  written  then.  Why, 
when  he  was  ill  for  seven  weeks,  she  re- 
signed from  the  cast  of  "Whoopee,"  and  in- 
sisted on  being  with  him  day  and  night 
Early  in  the  morning  she'd  appear  at  the 


hospital,  and  rema;-  till  the  nurses 
her  out,  just  before  midnight. 

Yes,  they  were  Broadway's  ideal  coup 
The  Main  Stem  never  had  seen  such 
votion. 

Every  marriage  along  Broadway  is  id 
for  the  first  few  months,  and  then  thii 
usually  go  awry.  So  Mark  Hellinger  i 
Gladys  Glad  discovered. 

Mark  was  absorbed  in  his  work.  Amb 
tion  drove  him  on,  drove  him  into 
haunts  of  racketeers,  into  dim,  smoke-fill 
speakeasies,  wherever  he  might  get  a  star 
ling  bit  of  news  for  his  column.  A 
Gladys  grew  sick  of  the  whole  busine 
tired  of  accompanying  him  on  these  excu 
sions.  She  had  had  enough  of  Broadv 
night-life  during  her  three  years  as 
showgirl. 

"Why  can't  you  stay  home  a  couple 
nights  a  week,  honey?"  she  asked  Mar 
"Let's  live  like  regular  folks  do.  Can't  ; 
gather  enough  material  in  one  night 
two  columns?" 

"You  don't  understand,  Beautiful,"  Ma 
told  her.  "I've  got  to  keep  in  circulate 
along  Broadway  night  after  night."  A; 
then  he  used  the  alibi  that  men  have  be 
using  for  ages,  "I'm  doing  it  all  for  yo 
sake,  sweet.  I  want  to  make  enou; 
money  so  that  I  can  give  you  everythi) 
in  the  world  you  want,  the  lovely  cloth 
you  should  have  to  set  off  your  beaut) 
But  Gladys  wasn't  interested  in  alib  | 
She  was  lonesome,  tired  of  attendin 
movies  three  nights  a  week  by  herself, 
going  alone  to  visit  friends  because  Ma 
was  too  busy  to  come  with  her.  She  w 
accustomed  to  plenty  of  attention,  to  mj 
rushing  to  do  her  slightest  bidding.  A, 
here  she  was,  neglected  and  hurt. 

What  could  she  do  with  her  time?  Si 
had  given  up  show  business  for  Mark.  A 
the  apartment  they  had,  with  maids  to  W  ( 
upon  her, 'certainly  didn't  keep  her  bus; 

So  soon  there  was  a  series  of  petty,  si 
quarrels.  They  argued  about  everythi 
and  nothing.  They  quarreled  becai' 
Gladys  wanted  to  take  up  horseback  ridi 
to  while  away  time  and  Mark  told  rJ 
she  mustn't,  that  she  might  injure  1  I 
lovely  face  or  figure  by  a  fall.  They  bull 
ered  because  Gladys  wanted  Mark  to  coill 
home  early  at  night,  and  he  would  prom.  I 
to  do  so,  only  to  forget  his  promise  whfl. 
he  chatted  with  some  speakeasy  patron  1 
night  club  habitue.  They  quarreled  1  I 
cause  Mark  was  crazy  about  his  wife  a 
afraid  that  some  day  she  would  get  tiii| 
of  the  life  they  were  leading  and  go  of 
with  some  other  man.  They  quarreled  1  > 
cause  Mark  insisted  Gladys  took  too  lc 
in  dolling  up ! 

In  other  words,  they  were  two  inex I

NORFORMS  are  antiseptic  suppositories  .  . .  very  easy  to  use  .  . .  and  much  more

tive contact  for  hours.  This  antiseptic — called  Parahydrecin — has  the  unique  feature 
of  destroying  germs  without  risk  to  delicate  inner  tissues.  Norforms  are  harmless. 


And  Norforms  leave  no  embarrassing  anti- 
septic odor  around  the  room  or  about  your 
person.  They  require  no  awkwatd  apparatus 
for  application.  They  are  completely  ready 
and  always  uniform.  Nothing  to  mix  or 
measure  when  you  use  Norforms;  you  don't 
have  to  worry  about  an  "overdose"  or"burn."

he,  Mr.  Know-it-all,  had  made!  Of  course 
he  could  have  spent  a  little  more  time  at 
home,  could  have  been  a  little  more  care- 
ful. Of  course  he  could  have  branched 
out  and  written  movies  and  hooks,  so  that 
his  work  hours  would  he  more  normal. 
Sadly  he  realized  all  that  now. 

And  then  began  one  of  the  strangest 
courtship  ever  known.  By  mail.  By  wire. 
By  phone.  Now  he  made  no  secret  of  his 
love  for  his  ex-wife.  And  when  he  came 
hack,  two  years  ago,  his  mind  was  made 
up  If  Gladys  would  give  him  another 
chance,  he  would  behave  forever. 

Sometimes  things  do  turn  out  right  in 
this  world  .  .  .  Gladys,  who  still  was  deep- 
ly in  love  with  him,  gave  him  another 
chance.  They  were  remarried  four  years  to 
the  day  after  their  first  marriage.  And 
for  luck  Gladys  wore  a  simple  yellow  sports 
frock,  the  same  color  as  was  her  dress  on 
the  day  they  first  met. 

Since  their  second  marriage,  Mark  Hell- 
inger  has  done  some  of  his  finest  work. 
His  movie,  "Broadway  Bill,"  is  a  hit,  as 


is  his  latest  book,  "The  Ten  Million 
Gladys  syndicates  a  beauty  column  to  fi\ 
hundred  newspapers  in  the  country,  an 
both  are  favorites  on  the  air.  And  Hel 
inner  has  found  out  that  he  doesn't  ha\ 
to  step  out  every  night  in  the  week  t 
gather  material  for  his  column.  Bad-bc 
Mark  has  become  a  very  good  boy  hj 
deed. 

That's  why  he  says  today,  "You  kno\ 
there  comes  a  time  in  every  married  coi 
pie's  life  when  they  feel  they  would  I 
better  off  apart.  If  the  thought  is  Im 
riedly  pushed  back  into  a  private  chan 
ber  to  be  taken  out  and  polished  frequent! 
by  every  petty  irritation,  in  time  it  bi 
comes  an  obsession  and  blights  the  who 
marriage  relationship. 

"We  brought  our  grievances  out  inl 
the  open  and  laid  the  ghost,  once  and  fc 
all.    Yes,  I'm  glad  we  were  divorced!"

"7  Dropped  the  Box,  I  was  so 
Horrified",  Writes  One  Woman/ 

BEHIND  many  a  case  of  sore  and  irri- 
tated skin,  behind  many  a  case  of  dry 
and  coarse  skin,  lies  gritry  face  powder! 

That  face  powder  that  looks  so  smooth  to 
your  eye  and  feels  so  smooth  to  your  skin,  it 
may  be  full  of  grit— tiny,  sharp  particles  that 
are  invisible  to  the  eye  but  instantly  detectable 
to  the  teeth. 

You  can't  go  on  rubbing  a  gritty  face 
powder  into  your  skin  without  paying  for  it 
in  some  way.  Maybe  some  of  the  blemishes 
with  which  you  are  wrestling  now  are  due  to 
nothing  less  than  a  gritry  face  powder.  Find 
out!  Ascertain  whether  the  powder  you  are 
now  using  is  grit-free  or  not. 

Make  This  Telling  Test! 

Take  a  pinch  of  your  powder  and  place  it  be- 
tween your  front  teeth.  Bring  your  teeth  down 
on  it  and  grind  firmly.  If  there  is  any  trace 
of  grit  in  the  powder  it  will  be  as  instantly 
detectable  as  sand  in  spinach. 

More  than  a  million  women  have  made 
this  test  in  the  past  year  as  advised  by  Lady 
Esther.  And  thousands  of  them  have  written 
in  in  righteous  indignation  over  their  find- 
ings. One  woman  was  so  horrified  she  dropped 
the  powder,  box  and  all,  on  the  floor ! 


There  is  one  face  powder  you  can  be  sure 
contains  no  grit.  That  is  Lady  Esther  Face 
Powder.  But  satisfy  yourself  as  to  that— and 
at  Lady  Esther's  expense!  Your  name  ano 
address  will  bring  you  a  liberal  supply  of  all 
five  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder.  Pur 
it  to  the  "bite-test".  Let  your  teeth  convince 
you  that  it  is  absolutely  grit-free,  the  smooth- 
est powder  ever  touched  to  cheek. 

Make  Shade  Test,  Too! 

UTien  you  receive  the  five  shades  of  Lady  Esther 
Face  Powder  try  them  all  for  shade,  too.  Did  you 
know  thar  the  wrong  shade  of  face  powder  can 
make  you  look  five  to  ten  years  older? 

Ask  any  stage  director.  He  will  tell  you  that  one 
type  of  woman  has  to  have  one  light  while  another 
has  to  have  another  or  else  each  will  look  years 
older.  The  same  holds  for  face  powder  shades.  One 
of  five  shades  is  the  perfect  shade  for  every  woman.

Hal  Kemp's  Untold  Romance 


(Continued  from  page  47) 


clasped  his  hand  tightly  and  led  him  to 
the  balcony.  Her  face  looked  lovelier  to 
Hal  with  the  moon  for  a  spotlight.  For 
a  moment  all  was  quiet.  Fifty  years  ago, 
had  this  scene  occurred.  Betsy  would  be 
gowned  in  flowing  crinoline.  The  aroma 
of  magnolias  would  have  wafted  through 
the  sweet  night  air.  Instead  cigarette 
smoke  permeated  the  atmosphere.  Inside, 
the  band  was  playing  a  waltz. 

Then  Betsy  spoke :  "You  may  think  me 
foolish,  but  I  couldn't  take  my  eyes  from 
you  all  night  I" 

Hal's  heart  beat  like  a  metronome.  This 
was  his  girl !  It  was  too  late  now  for 
overtures.  Hal  took  her  in  his  arms.  How 
it  all  happened  or  why,  neither  of  them 
knew,  or  cared. 

Love  needs  no  explanations.  When  Hal 
released  her,  his  eyes  focused  upon  a 
husky,  meticulously  attired  young  man. 
He  was  Robert  Strange,  Betsy's  escort. 

That  was  how  Hal  Kemp  met  Betsy 
Slaughter.  He  didn't  even  know  her  name 
then.  But  before  that  night  had  ended  he 
found  out  more  than  that.  She  was  the 
daughter  of  a  distinguished  family.  She 
was  supposed  to  be  engaged  to  Strange, 
heir  to  millions  made  on  muddy  Texas 
acres.  Oil  wells  sprouted  like  mushrooms 
all  over  the  state.  Betsy's  family  counted 
on  this  union.  But  love  lifted  its  glam- 
orous head  that  night  in  the  person  of  Hal 
Kemp.  After  which  any  plans  made  by 
the  Slaughter  family  could  be  tossed  to  the 
winds. 

"We  met  every  day  after  that,"  Hal  re- 
counted bitterly.  "Behind  potted  palms, 
in  public  places  or  during  intermissions. 
It  wasn't  easy.  Each  night  she  would 
come  to  the  hotel  with  Strange.  His  face 
was  wreathed  in  smiles.  And  poor  me,  I 
was  helpless,  waving  a  damned  stick!" 

Finally  Hal  could  stand  this  secrecy  no 
longer.  He  told  Betsy  so.  "Dearest,  I 
can't  stand  this  arrangement  any  longer. 
I'm  sick  of  hiding  with  you.  I  want  to 
come  out  in  the  open.  Let  me  tell  your 
mother  we're  in  love." 

Betsy  was  timid.  She  knew  her  mother's 
plans  concerning  her  and  Robert  Strange. 
They  were  discussed  daily  over  the  dinner- 
table.  But  Hal  was  persistent,  and  the 
next  day  he  called  upon  Mrs.  Slaughter. 

"No,  you  can't  marry  my  daughter!" 

The  wrords  stung  Hal's  ears.  His  face 
turned  crimson.  Before  the  proud,  white- 
haired  woman  had  spoken,  his  eyes  had 
shone  expectantly.    Now  they  dulled. 

There  was  nothing  he  could  say  that 
mattered.  Her  chill  words  and  emphatic 
refusal  ended  the  interview. 

When  Hal  told  Betsy  that  evening  what 
her  mother  had  said,  the  color  fled  from 
her  cheeks.  Her  eyes,  that  had  sparkled 
so  brilliantly  the  day  before,  grew  sad. 

"Hal,"  she  murmured  inaudibly,  "It's  no 
use.  I  can't  let  mother  down.  Bob  came 
to  the  house  after  you  left.  He  proposed 
to  me — and  I  accepted." 

She  went  on  speaking,  but  Hal  turned 
away.  His  plans  had  crumbled  tragically. 
Even  Betsy  had  walked  out  on  him !  She 
was  saying  something  about  trying  to  for- 


get. But  he  couldn't  hear  her  sobbin 
voice.  His  head  throbbed  like  the  beat  ( 
a  dozen  hammers. 

When  he  stumbled  back  to  his  hot< 
room,  his  heart  was  bitter.  So,  she  wa] 
like  the  rest  of  these  southern  aristocrats- 
too  weak  to  fight  for  what  she  wanted 
He  had  had  enough.  He  started  to  pac 
his  bags.  He  never  wanted  to  see  Bets 
Slaughter  or  Houston,  Texas,  again! 

London  .  .  .  Thick  fogs  .  .  .  Top  hat

maelstrom  of  gaiety  ...  In  these  ga\ 
carefree  surroundings,  Hal  Kemp  sough 
to  forget. 

Overnight  his  band  became  the  talk  c 
the  British  capital.  It  even  was  rumore 
that  the  Prince  of  Wales  might  come  t 
hear  this  new  American  sensation. 

In  the  afternoons  Hal  would  wend  hi 
way  through  the  Strand,  Mayfair,  Bon 
Street,  Berkeley  Square,  across  Waterlo 
Bridge.  But  the  historic  charms  of  thj 
ancient  city  were  lost  upon  him.  He  coul 
see  nothing  but  Betsy's  smile,  her  lips,  an 
her  eyes. 

At  last  His  Highness  appeared.  H 
requested  that  the  young  bandsman  joi 
his  party.  For  the  first  time  since  he  le) 
Houston,  Hal  smiled.  This  was  reveng 
with  music !  What  he  wouldn't  give  fo 
Mrs.  Slaughter  to  see  him,  a  poo 
musician,  dining  with  the  Prince  of  Wales 
Not  even  the  rich  Mr.  Robert  Strang 
could  achieve  this  distinction.  Yet  Hz 
Kemp  did  it  with  his  little  saxophon* 
But  no,  he  must  get  these  thoughts  out  o 
his  muddled  head.  He  was  through  wit, 
Betsy  forever ! 

The  Prince  of  Wales  spoke  to  hir. 
quietly:  "What's  the  matter,  old  mar 
you  look  frightfully  downcast." 

Hal  forgot  the  resolution  he  had  jus 
made,  forgot  he  was  addressing  royalty 
forgot  the  crowd  of  dancers  that  millei 
about  him,  and  answered  the  Prince :  "Yo' 
must  forgive  me,  Your  Highness — I'n 
homesick." 

"Well,  that's  different,  Mr.  Kemp 
We'll  have  to  cheer  you  up.  But  tell  me 
haven't  you  a  lady  friend?" 

"Yes,"  muttered  Hal,  "but  she's  going  t< 
marry  someone  else!" 

The  Prince  remained  silent  for  a  mo 
ment  and  theYi  he  spoke — clearly,  decisively 
authoritatively :  "If  you  love  her,  go  ba 
to  her — no  matter  what  happens." 

Hal's  eyes  met  those  of  the  Prince.  An< 
mutual  understanding  passed  between  then 
Perhaps  the  Royal  heir  actually  enviec 
Hal.  Perhaps  he  gladly  would  havi 
swapped  his  life  of  endless  court  function 
and  state  affairs  to  grasp  what  Hal  Kemj 
wanted  to  throw  away.  He  couldn't  le 
this  boy  do  that! 

A  few  days  later,  Hal  was  awakened  b\ 
the  shrill  voice  of  a  bell-boy.  He  hande< 
Hal  a  cablegram : 

HAL  DEAR  FORGIVE  ME  STOP  COME 
BACK    STOP    I    CAN'T    MARRY  BOB

RADIO  STARS 


STRANGE  IT  S  YOU  I  LOVE  STOP  YOU 
YOU  YOU  ALL  MY  LOVE  BETSY 

He  crumpled  the  cablegram.  Xo,  he'd 
.•ver  go  hack !  Then  he  remembered  the 
;cisive  words  of  the  Prince  of  Wales : 

■0  back-  to  her!" 

Hal  dashed  downstairs  and  answered  the 
ire.  He  told  Betsy  to  wait  for  him.  As 
ion  as  he  got  to  Houston  they  would  be 
arried.  He  felt  like  sending  a  wire  to 
le  Prince  of  Wales.  How  could  he  word 
?  "Your  Highness,  you  were  right.  I'm 
"ing  back  to  her.  Thank  you  for  the  ad- 
tce.  This  is  just  Hal  Kemp  signing  off 
ith  deepest  appreciation."  But  the  words 
oked  foolish  in  writing  so  Hal  tore  the 
ire  up.  Too  bad — the  Prince  doubtless 
'ould  have  valued  that  note. 
When  Hal  arrived  in  Houston  he  found 
letsy  waiting  for  him  at  the  hotel.  She 
.as  a  little  thinner,  a  bit  tired.  Words 
ere  useless  to  describe  how  she  had  felt 
nee  he  went  away. 

She  ran  out  to  him,  hopped  into  the 
>adster  Hal  had  borrowed  from  his 
anager.  The  car  shot  down  the  wide 
>ad  at  ninety  miles  an  hour.  Hal  was 
■ading  for  Lake  Charles,  Louisiana. 
They  drove  up  to  the  small  City  Hall. 

weary  clerk  wrote  out  the  marriage 
irense.  He  had  seen  so  many  breathless 
tuples  stand  impatiently  before  him  as  he 
.ked  the  routine  questions.  Marriage 
:enses  in  Lake  Charles  are  easier  to  get 
tan  police  calls  on  a  short  wave  set. 
Then  the  trouble  began  for  Hal  and 
etsy.  Where  could  they  find  a  Justice  of 
ie  Peace?  Tired,  hot  and  excited,  they 
dn't  look  very  presentable.  Several  old 
■ptuagenarians  turned  them  down.  Foot- 
l>re  and  weary,  they  finally  singled  out  an 
id  shanty  on  the  wrorst  side  of  the  town. 

shabby  old  man  answered  the  doorbell, 
es,  he  said,  he'd  marry  them,  if  they  had 
>me  witnesses  and  the  money. 
Within  fifteen  minutes,  Hal  had  cornered 
Yo  farmers.  They  agreed  to  witness  the 
•remony  for  fifty  cents  apiece.  So,  in  a 
>ld,  bare  room,  with  two  disinterested, 
latting  hayseeds  as  witnesses,  Hal  Kemp 
lally  married  Betsy  Slaughter.  It  was 
e  fastest  marriage  ceremony  on  record, 
he  old  man  raced  through  the  prayer- 
>ok.  He  could  hardly  wait  to  grasp  the 
"cenbacks. 

Hal  and  Betsy  sped  back  to  Houston, 
an  and  wife.  Hardly  a  word  passed  be- 
.een  them.  "We  could  hardly  believe  it 
id  happened,"  said  Hal  afterward.  "It 
ent  too  qaickly." 

They  reached  the  city  at  ten-thirty  p.  m. 
etsy  crept  home  while  her  husband  pre- 
ired  to  lead  the  orchestra  in  the  hotel, 
al's  manager  had  arranged  the  booking 
hen  he  learned  that  Hal  was  coming  back 
om  England.  A  few  hours  later  Betsy 
turned,  with  Robert  Strange! 
"I'll  never  forget  that  moment,"  recalled 
al.  "There  was  my  wife,  wearing  an 
chid  as  big  as  a  house,  dancing  with 
trange!  She  never  looked  more  beautiful. 
Strange  strolled  over  to  the  bandstand  to 
elcome  Hal  back.  Little  did  he  know 
at  this  man  was  the  husband  of  the  girl 
•  had  brought.  He  spoke  to  Hal :  "Con- 
atulate  me,  I'm  going  to  marry  Miss 
laughter." 

This  was  ironic !    But  it  was  silly  to  try 
explain  to  this  fellow.     Instead  Hal 


BETTY:  What's  the  matter? 

HA  US:  (in  tears)  Tom's  mother  told 
him  I  was  careless!  And  I  did  so 
want  to  make  a  good  impression. 


BETTY: I  don't  like  to  say  it  but  I'm 

afraid  I  agree  with  her. 
BABS:  Just  because  I  had  that  little 

bit  of  a  stain  under  my  arm? 


BETTY:  Yes!  Your  dress  will  never 
be  really  fresh  and  new -looking 
again. 

BABS:  But  everybody  has  trouble 
sometimes  with  perspiration. 


BETTY:  Of  course!  That's  just  why 
you  shouldn't  risk  a  dress  evm 
once  without  Kleinert's  Dress 
Shields. 

BABS:  I'll  sew  some  in  this  very  day ! 
Then  my  dresses  will  last  longer, 
too! 


Fashion  advisers  recommend  Kleinert's  Dress  Shields  for 
every  dress  because  the  underarm  is  the  part  most  likclv  to

answered :  "Fine.  Say  how  would  you  like 
to  bring  your  fiancee  to  my  room  later? 
I'm  throwing  a  little  party." 

Even  in  his  room  Hal  couldn't  get  near 
his  wife.  Strange  was  hovering  about  her. 
Hal  sat -on  pins  and  needles.  Was  this 
married  life?  He  didn't  want  to  be  a 
debutante  widower !  He  leaped  from  the 
chair,  grabbed  Betsy  by  the  arm  and 
dragged  her  into  the  bathroom  1 

"Betsy,  beloved,"  he  pleaded,  "this  can't 
go  on !  We're  married  now.  We've  noth- 
ing to  hide.  I've  been  engaged  to  play  in 
New  Orleans  next  week.  Will  you  come

Thi:  time  Retsy  responded  impulsively: 
"Hal,  dear,  I'll  go  with  you  anywhere.  I'm 


your  wife  now  and  I'm  very  proud  of  it. 

And  without  waiting  for  explanation: 
they  departed ! 

And  when  they  reached  the  principa

awry.  Jack  seemed  uneasy,  unwill-

Then  a  true  friend  told  Doris, 
"The  thing  which  is  troubling  Jack 
is  one  of  those  big  little  things 
which  you  can  easily  correct." 
Happy  ending! 

It  takes  a  true  friend  indeed  to  tell  a  girl 
that  it  is  not  pleasant  to  he  near  her  on 
account  of  the  ugly  odor  of  underarm 
perspiration. 

It's  so  unnecessary  to  offend  in  this

It's  soothing  to  the  skin,  too.  You  can 
shave  your  underarms  and  use  Mum  at 
once. 

Remember,  too.  Mum  doesn't  prevent 
perspiration  itself  —  just  that  unpleasant 
odor  of  perspiration  which  has  stood  be- 
tween many  a  girl  and  happiness.  Make 
Mum  a  daily  habit.  Bristol-Myers,  Inc.,

Why  30  Girls 
Left  Home 

(Continued  from  page  45) 


elled  exultantly.  This  was  a  dazzling  find! 

But  Gypsie's  father  didn't  like  the  idea, 
le  was  suspicious.  What  assurance  could 
[fr.  Spitalny  give  that  the  whole  thing 

ouldn't  flop  after  Gypsie  had  got  to  New 
'  ork ' 

Phil  couldn't  give  any  assurance.  But 
'e  could  and  did  plead  and  argue  and 
temand  that  Gypsie  be  permitted  to  join 
5s  group.    Finally  her  father  gave  in. 

But  Phil  was  worried.  He  really  didn't 
tiow  whether  or  not  he  could  carry  out 
as  promises.  To  make  matters  worse,  he 
lad  to  go  through  the  same  thing  with 
:her  families. 

( There  is  Maxine,  for  example.  Phil 
lad  wandered  into  a  theatre  in  Columbus, 
.jlhio,  where  an  amateur  musical  show 
ras  being  held.  He  fidgeted  as  the 
jLymen  blundered  through  their  acts, 
lluddenly  he  leaned  forward,  listening 
I  stent ly.  Appealing  melody  was  floating 
Irom  the  lips  of  the  tall,  lovely  girl  who 
'ood  in  the  center  of  the  stage.  Three 
linutes  later.  Phil  was  backstage,  urging 
[ler  to  come  to  New  York  as  star  singer 
Ipr  his  orchestra. 

Maxine's  parents  were  as  hard  to  con- 
ince  as  Gypsie's  father  had  been,  that 
|  'lis  was  not  a  crazy  idea.    Phil  had  to 
Ud  through  his  cajoling  all  over  again, 
hat's  the  sort  of  thing  he  had  to  con- 
oid with  in  the  thirty-seven  cities  of  the 

■  Sventeen  states  he  had  to  visit  before 
|  «e  found  the  last  member  for  his  orches- 
tra and  persuaded  her  to  cast  her  lot 

ith  him  in  New  York. 

Thus  you  can  imagine  pretty  much 
I  low  Phil  felt  the  day  he  surveyed  the 
l(iw  material  of  his  orchestra  for  the 
Irst  time.  Here  he  was  with  thirty  girls 
Im  his   hands.     Individually   they  were 

■  rcomplished  soloists.  He  had  made  sure 
I  if  that.  But  women  were  supposed  to 
i  e  flighty.     If  he  couldn't  get  them  to 

ork  well  together,  he  not  only  would 
3ve   invested   his   money   foolishly,  but 
'ie  girls  would  be  stranded. 
From  the  moment  the  first  music  burst 
om  the   orchestra   Phil   knew   that  he 
•  %d  found  a  gcoup  which  would  work  for 
\  tim  better  than  any  male  group  he  ever 
ad  organized. 

Here's  just  one  example  of  how  they 
orked.    It  is  a  well  known  fact  around 
»  ie  radio  world  that  usually  the  minute 
.•hearsal  time   for  a  male  orchestra  is 
»  p.  off  the  boys  rush,  whether  they're  in 
ne  middle  of  a  piece  or  not.    One  day. 
iter  wearying   hours   of   rehearsal,  the 
iris    were    half    through    the  "Merry 
^'idow  Waltz."  when  a  group  of  men 
lusicians   crowded   into   the    studio.  It 
leant  that  rehearsal  time  for  the  girls 
as  up  and  that  they  were  to  turn  the 
udio  over  to  the  men.     Phil  signalled 
ie   girls   to   stop    playing   and  walked 
vay  from  the  conductor's   stand.  Did 
ley  stop?     Xo,  ma'am!     Evelyn  Kay. 
ie  concertmaster,   stepped  to  the  stand 
id  waved  her  violin  bow  until  the  piece

.vas   played   through   to   the   last  note. 

In  the  hardboiled  New  York  show 
.vorld,  display  of  genuine  sentiment  is 
iretty  rare.  And  Phil  is  a  man  who'll 
neet  the  toughest  of  the  boys  on  their 
>wn  grounds.  So  you'll  have  to  believe 
ne  when  I  tell  you  there  were  tears  in 
lis  eyes  as  the  last  note  died  away,  that 
lis  voice  trembled  as  he  said:  "Girls, 
hat's  the  finest  thing  you  could  ever 
lave  done  for  me." 

Phil  shows  his  appreciation  in  more 
han  words.  The  salaries  he  pays  shows 
:iat  he  regards  them  as  highly  as  any 
nale  orchestra  he  ever  conducted.  He 
ould  get  away  with  paying  them  the 
inion  wage  minimum  of  two  dollars  an 
^our.  Does  he?  You  can  bet  he  doesn't. 
The  salaries  of  those  girls  average  one 
undred  and  twenty-five  dollars  a  week. 
t  I've  shown  you  how  Phil  got  these 
iris  to  leave  home.  I've  shown  you 
ow  they  compare  with  male  orchestras. 
5ut  I  haven't  told  you  all  Phil's  difficul- 
;ies,  or  to  be  more  exact,  of  the  girls' 
ribulations. 

,  Even  though  efficient  little  Evelyn  Kay 
'as  been  selected  to  oversee  the  girls, 
he  can't  be  expected  to  keep  them  out 
!f  their  little  scrapes  all  the  time.  But 
he's  helped  them  out  of  potential  scrapes 
.hen  Phil  has  been  too  busy  to  play 
)addy  Long  Legs. 

Once  an  agent,  unknown  to  him,  had 
ooked  the  group  to  play  in  a  music  hall 
1  a  Pennsylvania  mining  town  on  a  Sat- 
rday  night.  The  girls  rebelled.  They 
new  what  the  rougher  elements  were 
ke  on  nights  like  that.  They'd  be 
anging  around  the  stage  door,  drunk, 
aiting  for  them  to  come  out.  Evelyn 
wk  the  complaint  to  Phil.  He  cancelled 
:  lie  engagement  instantly.  The  safety  of 
le  girls  meant  far  more  to  him  than  the 
loney. 

But  these  girls,  new  to  Broadway,  get 
lemselves  into  all  kinds  of  little  scrapes, 
ere's  just  one  instance: 
In  Times  Square  there  is  a  newsstand 
hich  stocks  all  the  out-of-town  papers, 
ne  of  the  girls — she  comes  from  Des 
oines — went  there  to  buy  her  home 
lily.  As  she  asked  for  it,  a  personable 
>ung  man  stepped  up  to  her  and  told 
■r  he  had  been  waiting  there  for  days 
■ping  to  see  someone  from  his  home 
wn.  He  looked  hardly  more  than  a 
y.    He  looked  hungry,  too.    And  when 

told  her  his  story  of  having  read  that 
fs  mother  was  dying  in  Des  Moines,  and 
w  he  had  no  money  to  get  there,  her 
art  went  out  to  him.  So  did  the 
venty-five  dollars  which  she  lent  him 
r  carfare  home !  She  never  got  the 
wey  back.  She  never  saw  the  fellow 
ain.  She"  was  just  another  one  of  the 
Dusands  of  victims  of  a  racket  as  old 

the  Brooklyn  Bridge. 
The  girls  take  things  like  that  pretty 
irdily.  Those  loyal  radio  enchantresses 
;  concerned  with  one  big  thing — help- 
;  Phil  Spitalny  make  those  it-can't-be- 
"ie  boys  eat  their  sour  words.  Listen 

them   next   Thursday   night   and  see 
•  at  a  job  they're  doing  of  it.

A  MARVELOUS  INVENTION 


 -  THAT  CAN  DO 

WONDERS  FOR  YOUR  HAIR! 

Here  is  the  new  great  sensation  of  the  world,  EVANS 
ELECTRIC  COMB,  the  "Live"  Comb  which  has  such  a 
remarkable  power  of  stimulating  the  hair — in  fact,  of  giv- 
ing new  life  to  the  hair  roots.  The  gentle  electric  current  in 
the  Evans  Comb  acts  upon  the  hair  as  water  on  parched 
plants,  thus  stimulating  the  hair  roots  to  renewed  activity. 
Here  are  the  results  reported  by  delighted  users: 

IN  MANY  CASES  OF  PREMATURE  BALD  SPOTS  the  condition 
has  improved  as  through  a  miracle. 

DRY,  DULL  HAUt  GAINED  NEW  LIFE;  became  wonderfully 
lustrous. 

STRAIGHT  AND  THIN  HAIR  gets  thick  .  .  .  glistening  ...  soft ..  . 
wavy.  .  .  . 

DANDRUFF  AND  FALLING  HAIR  have  been  checked  in  a  few 
days.  You  and  your  friends  will  be  equally  surprised  at  the  health  aod 
beauty  of  your  hair. 

TOO  GOOD  TO  BE  TRUE;  This  is  perhaps  your  comment  on  read- 
ing the  above  claims,  but  we  have  received  thousands  of  letters  which 
prove  that  Evans  Comb  really  has  worked  wonders.  European  special- 
ists explain  this  miraculous  phenomena  thus: — that  the  gentle,  shock- 
less  electric  current  passing  from  the  battery  through  the  teeth  of  the 
comb  to  your  hair  and  scalp  is  able  to  reach  the  weakened  liair  roots 
— literally  pouring  its  life-giving  energy  over  them,  waking  them  up 
and  stimulating  them.  Over  one  million  Evans  Electric  Combs  are 
now  being  used  by  men  and  women  all  over  the  world.  The  electric 
current  is  generated  bv  a  battery  concealed  in  the  handle  of  the  comb 
NO  SHOCKS — NO  SPARKS.  You  cannot  feel  the  current,  but  if 
you  put  a  pocket  lamp  bulb  against  the  teeth  you  will  see  it  light'up.  The 
battery  lasts  several  months — spare  battery  costs  only  a  few  cents. 
Thus  at  a  cost  of  only  about  5c  a  month  you  get  a  hair  treatment 
which  otherwise  would  cost  you  hundreds  of  dollars  per  year.

The  Thrilling  Story 
Bradley  K 

(Continued  from  page  49) 


Brad  tell  to  dreaming.  Why  couldn't 
lat  mule  take  him  far  away  instead  of 
ist  plugging  up  and  down  the  cornfield  ? 
le  began  to  hum  : 

"Let  that  mule  go  Awnk, 
Give  that  mule  more  hay.  ■  ." 

"Mule's  got  no  sense  anyhow,"  he  de- 
iled.  "I've  got  a  good  pair  of  legs  of 
|y  own  to  take  me  out  into  the  world, 
ut  dawgone,  how  can  I  go?  Twenty- 
fire  cents  an  hour  for  working  in  the 
>rnfield  don't  go  far  when  you  got  to 
hy  sow-belly  and  beans  for  a  family  of 
x.  And  golly,  how  long  it  did  take  me 
pay  for  that  first  suit  of  store  boughten 
rthes !  Seems  like  three  dollars  and 
venty-five  cents  was  a  lot  to  ask." 
Hard  though  his  life  was,  Bradley  re- 
ised  to  be  discontented.  They  had  a 
'•of  over  their  heads,  an  old  distillery 
arehouse  to  be  sure,  but  it  had  two 
oms  and  a  lean-to.  They  managed  to 
ft 

'Yet  something  kept  stirring  in  his  heart. 
.  his  veins  was  surging  the  spirit  of  his 
:otch  and  Irish  pioneering  ancestors  who 
.d  settled  this  country  so  many  genera- 
ins  ago.  Sometime  he'd  go  away.  Far 
vay.  .  . 

"/  am  going  far  aivay,  Nora  dar- 
ling. 

The  ship  is  ready,  anchored  at  the 
bay.  .  .  ." 

Nineteen-year-old  Bradley  Kincaid  stood 
hind  the  counter  of  the  hotel  in  Berea, 
aitucky.  He  had  gone  away — not  very 
t>r,  to  be  sure,  but  he  had  started. 
Here  in  this  mountain  town  was  Berea 
>llege.  the  institution  which  educates 
mntain  boys  and  girls.  The  hotel  was 
ying  him  fifty  dollars  a  month  for  work- 
►?  as  a  clerk.  It  wasn't  much,  not  when 
had  to  take  care  of  his  two  younger 
[ters  who  were  with  him  at  Berea. 
He  was  mighty  lucky,  though,  he 
mght.  to  be  able  to  go  to  a  school  like 
'•rea  that  asked  him  only  seventy-five 
its  a  week  for  board  and  sixty  cents  for 
>m.  Figuring  things  that  way,  he 
ght  be  able  to  get  himself  educated  and 
|  sisters,  too. 

He  had  waited  long  enough  for  it.  That 
fy,  seven  years  ago,  when  he  had  skipped 
wn  the  rocky   trail   to   the   log  cabin 
hoolhouse  had  been  his  last  time  at  the 
ee  "R's"  until  now.    Here  he  was,  at 
leteen,  starting  in  the  sixth  grade ! 
Bradley's  cheeks  suddenly  burned  as  he 
■ught  of  himself,  big  gawk  that  he  was, 
the  midst  of  all  those  younger  pupils, 
en  he  threw  back  his  shoulders.  Why 
iuld  a  fellow  be  ashamed  to  want  an 
1  ration  ?    He'd  seen  other  mountain  boys 
•  t  when  they  thought   they  were  too 
I;  for  schoolin'.  Xot  he !  He  was  going 
I  fight  it  out  no  matter  how  much  he  was 
ghed  at.  no  matter  how  hard  he  had

work— no  matter,  even,  if  he  starved! 

".  .  .  .  the  ship  is  ready  anchored  at 
the  bay. 
And  before  tomorrow's  sun 
You  will  hear  the  signal  gun, 
\    So  be  ready,  it  will  carry  us  aivay." 

1917!    Stout  khaki  breeches  instead  of 

readbare  trousers.  A  Springfield  rifle 
,d  a  pack  instead  of  text  books.  Tvventy- 

e-ycar-old  Bradley  Kincaid  tramped 
ong  with  the  336th  Kentucky  Infantry 
\  it  embarked  for  France. 

Ahead  of  him  was  more  than  a  year  of 
I  ir — action,    excitement,    tragedy.  But 

spite  the  threat  of  days  packed  with 
notion,  exhaustion,  defeat,  his  ideal 
[rns  steadily  in  his  heart.  What  does  it 
fitter  if  he  was  already  in  his  twenties 
lid  has  not  yet  entered  high  school?  If  he 
Ijer  gets  back  to  America.  .  .  . 

".  .  .  .  and  as  my  boat  landed  on  my 

ow'ii  native  shore, 
I    With  friends  and  relations  around 

me  once  more.  .  .  ." 

Bradley  Kincaid  had  come  marching 
me.  At  twenty-three  he  was  returning 
Berea  to  enter  high  school.  Let  them 
igh.  He  had  seen  enough  of  life  in 
;  past  year  and  a  half  not  to  be  ashamed 
w. 

But  Fate  had  something  in  store  for 
(n.  frown  from  the  Oberlin  Conserva- 
>-y  of  Music  in  Ohio,  a  teacher  came  to 
rea.  Her  name  was  Irma  Forman.  That 
important,  because  it  is  important  to 
erything  which  happened  to  Bradley 
>m  that  time  until  this  very  day. 

you  had  asked  him  that  first  day 
lere  he  thought  she  had  come  from,  as 
watched  her  raptly  while  she  conducted 
Br    class,    he    would    have    answered : 
rom  heaven!" 

,'Whcn  I  was  young  and  in  my  prime, 
f  /  thought  I  could  never  marry.  .  .  ." 

»|A  soft  Kentucky  dusk  had  fallen  on  the 
uple  as  they  walked  down  the  country 
Did.  Frogs  croaked  plaintive  greetings 
;.  they  passed  the  little  swamps.  Irma's 
rl:e  was  pale  in  the  half-light  as  she 
I  ned  it  up  to  Bradley's. 
,'Brad,  you  know  as  well  as  I  do  we 
M'  meant  for  each  other.  We  should 
It  married." 

Bradley,  being  a  man,  was  stubborn.  He 
•  nted  to  say  "Yes."  But  something  in 
I  cautious,  mountaineer  nature  impelled 
■in  to  say :    "We'd  better  wait." 

Bradley  decided  that  waiting  a  few 
i^s  before  saying  "Yes,"  would  impress 

na.    It  didn't. 

we  both  agreed  in  a  fciv  little 
words 

That  the  weddin'  day  ivas  Thurs- 
day." 


from  page  95) 

Something  had  suddenly  happened  to 
Bradley.  His  restraint  had  vanished.  With 
the  utmost  confidence,  with  the  optimism 
that  only  youth  has,  he  borrowed  three 
hundred  dollars.  He  took  Irma  to  Ober- 
lin, Ohio,  where  they  were  married. 

This  was  going  to  be  a  real  adventure, 
facing  the  world  with  Irma. 

"Not  yet,"  Irma  said.  "We're  going 
to  Chicago  and  you're  going  through  col- 
lege as  you  always  wanted  to." 

"But  Irma,"  Brad  protested,  "I've  got 
responsibilities  now.  I'm  a  married  man. 
I  can't  support  you  and  go  to  college  at 
the  same  time." 

"We're  going  to  Chicago.    We'll  both 
work.    You're  going  to  get  that  degree." 
"We're  off,  Irma !" 

"Keep   your  seat,  Miss   Liza  Jane, 
And  hold  on  to  the  sleigh." 

Thirty-one-year-old  Bradley  Kincaid, 
junior  in  Association  College,  stared  in- 
credulously at  the  man  who  stood  before 
him  . 

"Mr.  Kincaid,  I'm  the  manager  of  sta- 
tion WLS.  I  heard  you  singing  at  this 
entertainment  tonight.  I  want  you  to 
come  and  try  out  over  my  station." 

A  thousand  pictures  of  toil  and  hardship 
and  struggle  flashed  through  Bradley's 
mind.  Clearest  of  all  was  the  picture  of 
his  wife  who  had  been  working  so  hard 
to  help  him  realize  his  dream  of  getting 
a  college  education.  Here  was  his  chance 
to  do  some  of  the  things  for  her  he'd 
wanted  so  much  to  do. 

His  chance,  indeed  !  See  how  he  leaped 
ahead  in  fame  and  income  from  then  on 
— starring  for  four  years  with  the  WLS 
Barn  Dance;  that  month  when  singing 
over  WLW  brought  him  sixty  thousand 
letters;  his  success  on  WGY,  and  finally 
on  the  NBC  network. 

It  has  brought  him  happiness,  money, 
a  fine  home  in  Schenectady,  New  York. 

"In  Scarlet  Town  where  I  xvas  born, 

There  zvas  a  fair  maid  dwelling, 
Made  every  youth  cry  well  away; 
Her  name  was  Barbara  Allen." 

Thirty-two-year-old  Bradley  Kincaid 
was  doing  the  nervous- father-pacing  act. 
"If  it's  a  girl,"  he  thought,  "I'll  name  her 
after  my  favorite  mountain  song,  'Bar- 
bara Allen.' " 

The  nurse  tapped  him  on  the  shoulder. 
"It's  twins,  Mr.  Kincaid.  Girls." 

"Great !  We'll  name  one  Barbara  and 
the  other  Allyne." 

Life  was  complete  for  the  Kentucky 
mountain  boy  to  whom:  "Life  never  had 
given  a  chance !" 


Bradley  Kincaid  can  be  heard  every  day 
except  Sunday  at  9 :30  a.  m.  EST.  over 
WEAF  and  associated  stations. 


FOR  Molly,  friqhtened  and  unhappy,  lor  Hal. 
tasting  the  heady  wine  of  success  with  its 
sweetening  of  flattery,  trouble  was  inevitable.  Then  it  came,  in  an 
unexpected  way — in  an  incredible  way! 

Don't  miss  our  June  issue  with  the  concluding  installment  of  this 
poignant  story,  "CONFESSIONS  OF  A  CROONER'S  'WIFE'."

HELP  ME 


When  the  White  House  Listens  In 


(Continued  from  paye  17) 


ith  the  President  generally  are  kept  in 
ie  Executive  Office  building,  the  low  white 
uilding  on  the  White  House  grounds, 
ist  back  of  the  mansion  itself. 
From  the  elevator  we  step  into  a  long 
nil,  on  to  which  open  all  the  rooms  for 
e  family.  The  hall  is  impressive  in  its 
ateliness,  in  its  rich  but  unostentatious 
ipointments.  Surely,  we  feel,  no  foreign 
dace  could  be  so  gracious  as  our  White 
ouse ! 

The  west  end  of  the  hall,  we  are  told, 
i.rves  as  a  sitting-room  for  Mrs.  Roose- 
[:lt,  whose  suite  adjoins  it.  Through  a 
ige  fan-shaped  window,  its  top  shaded 
'ith  cream  colored  ripple-silk  curtains, 
a;ht  streams  softly  down.  A  large  divan 
vites  a  guest.  Lovely  and  comfortable 
,iairs  await  others.  And  in  a  corner 
inds  a  handsome  cabinet  radio  set. 
'Here  Mrs.  Roosevelt  entertains  personal 
iends  or  an  occasional  interviewer  at  tea. 
Ind  if  there  is  a  program  in  which  they 
'e  particularly  interested,  the  radio  is 
rued  on. 

The  First  Lady's  private  sitting-room  in 
,e  adjoining  suite  is  a  friendly  and  in- 
rmal  room,  reflecting  Mrs.  Roosevelt's 
arming  taste.  Here  she  receives  her 
ore  intimate  friends.  Upon  a  table  at 
ie  end  of  the  room  stands  a  table-size 
Jdio.  This  set  brings  Mrs.  Roosevelt  her 
"ws  reports.  A  busy  person,  with  little 
>ne  to  study  the  newspapers,  she  finds 
is  an  ideal  means  of  learning  the  day's 
iws. 

Back  once  more  in  the  long  hall,  we 
ove  on  toward  its  center  portion,  which 
's  a  pleasant,  lived-in  aspect.  Here  one 
tire  wall  is  lined  with  bookshelves.  In  a 
lall  glass  case  on  a  shelf  above  the 
oks  is  a  beautiful  model  of  a  ship.  A 
yer  of  the  sea,  the  President  has  a 
Nique  collection  of  models  and  paintings 
•  ships.  On  a  large  writing  desk  at  one 
e  is  an  interesting  row  of  steins. 
A  large  cabinet  here  contains  both  pho- 
tjrapli  and  radio.  Over  the  arched  door- 
l.y  separating  this  central  part  of  the 
jll  from  the  west  end  is  a  screen  which 
\y  be  lowered  for  the  showing  of  movie 
ins.  Features,  Silly  Symphonies,  news 
Us — the  President  likes  them  all.  The 
?ge  radio  set  is  attached  to  a  movie  am- 
|fier,  and  has  a  dial,  similar  to  that  of 
;  telephone,  on  which  the  White  House 
teners  may  dial  any  station  they  wish, 
lere  are  nine  stations  on  the  dial,  com- 
ising  big  New  York  and  Washington 
}tions  and  key  stations  in  other  parts  of 
t  country. 

ieing  particularly  loud,  this  radio  is  as 
;  ule  used  only  tor  a  radio-minded  crowd 
'  er  dinner.  When  there  are  house  guests, 
'  the  younger  Roosevelts  are  at  home  on 
'ration  from  school,  it  gives  frequent 
'-vice.     Miss   Marguerite   LeHand,  the 

esident's  personal  secretary  and  a  lover 
classical  music,  often  tunes  in,  we  are 
t  i,  for  evening  musical  programs  and 
Miphony  broadcasts. 

^resident  Roosevelt,  we  learn,  greatly 
i  oys  this  radio,  although  the  pressure 
<  national  affairs  leaves  him  little  time 


for  it.  He  likes  to  listen  to  speeches  of 
men  in  public  life,  whether  of  his  party 
or  not.  And  he  has  been  known  person- 
ally to  call  the  broadcasting  networks  to 
ask  some  speaker  to  come  to  the  telephone. 
If  unable  to  listen  to  some  speech  in  which 
he  is  interested,  he  delegates  to  one  of  his 
secretarial  staff  the  task  of  reporting  on 
the  program. 

The  phonograph  records  in  the  cabinet 
bespeak  a  varied  taste.  Each  member  of 
the  family,  or  any  guest,  may  find  some 
pleasure  here.  There  are  records  of  Friml 
and  Kreisler,  "Liebeslied,"  "La  Ghana," 
"Fare  thee  well  to  Harlem,"  "I  Raised 
My  Hat,"  "Two  Hearts  in  Three-quarter 
Time,"  "Throw  Another  Log  on  the 
Fire," — and,  of  course,  the  President's  fa- 
vorite, "Home  on  the  Range,"  which  he 
loves  to  hear  over  the  radio  or  in  any- 
other  manner.  John  Charles  Thomas  sang 
that  song  for  the  President  at  a  White 
House  concert. 

In  our  quest  for  more  radios  we  go  on 
to  the  President's  study — a  charmingly  im- 
pressive room  which  even  in  his  absence 
still  seems  charged  with  the  atmosphere 
of  his  vigorous  personality.  But  the  ra- 
dio which  Frank  purposed  to  show  us 
here — a  specially  built  portable  one  which 
had  been  sent  the  President  by  a  friend — 
cannot  be  found.  Then  Frank  remem- 
bers .  .  .  One  of  the  younger  Roosevelt 
boys  had  persuaded  the  President  to  let 
him  take  it  back  to  school  with  him. 

Directly  across  the  hall  from  the  Pres- 
ident's suite  is  the  one  occupied,  when 
she  is  in  Washington,  by  the  President's 
only  daughter,  now  Mrs.  John  Bocttiger. 
This  suite,  on  the  north  side  of  the  build- 
ing, was  used  during  the  Wilson  admin- 
istration by  Colonel  Edward  M.  House. 
It  was  here,  on  account  of  the  north 
light,  that  President  Wilson  sat  to  have 
his  portrait  painted  by  Sargent.  And  here 
at  tea  time  now  come  "Sistie"  and  "Buz- 
zie"  Dall  to  listen  to  the  children's  pro- 
grams over  their  mother's  portable  set. 

The  third  floor  houses  the  servants.  Here 
are  more  radio  fans.  Their  radios  are 
going  at  every  opportunity,  whatever  the 
program  may  be.  Though  naturally  they, 
too,  have  their  favorites. 

And  now  back  to  the  main  floor  again. 
As  the  elevator  door  opens  we  meet  George 
Green  waiting  to  go  up  George  is  the 
big  colored  doorman  with  the  engaging 
grin,  who  for  more  than  seventeen  years 
has  been  admitting  people  to  the  White 
House.  Questioned  as  to  his  favorite  pro- 
gram, George  ponders  seriously.  Rather 
a  large  order,  to  say  right  off  what  he 
likes  best ! 

"Well — uh — "  he  hesitates.  "That  calls 
for  some  consideration,  ma'am." 

"Which  comedian  do  you  like  best?" 
we  persist  relentlessly.  "Eddie  Cantor, 
Ed  Wynn,  or  Joe  Pcnner?" 

"Well — uh — I  think  I  like  Mistuh  Can- 
tuh  best  of  those  three  you  mention, 
ma'am,"  George  concedes.  "Seems  like  he 
always  leaves  you  with  a  thought,  an' 
makes  you  laugh,  too."  he  explain-.

He  Faced  Starvation  for  a  Drea

(Continued  from  page  31) 


Willard  Robison  is  a  man  with  a  dream, 
ou  can  see  it  in  his  blue  eyes,  in  every 
[ovement  he  makes.  You  can  hear  it  in 
rery  word  he  speaks.  He  was  a  boy  with 

dream,  too.     A  dream  that  possessed 
|m,  that  would  not  fit  in  the  pattern  of 
te  his  father  had  arranged  for  him. 
!  Music !     That   was   the  dream.  The 

ystery  of  unborn  harmonies  filled  his 
|ul  as  he  worked  on  his  father's  wheat 
irm.  first  in  Missouri  and  then  in  Salina. 
jansas. 

(For  miles  around   in  that   little  town 
'ere  was  no  piano.    His  father  laughed 
the  idea  of  buying  one,  for  in  that 
larsely   settled   town   in   Kansas  music 
us  looked   upon  with   suspicion.  That 
aisic  could  be  a  man's  career  and  that 
man  could   earn  his  livelihood   by  it 
Us  beyond  comprehension. 
But  in  the  boy's  heart  the  dream  lived 
|.   He  knew  that  somehow  he  must  earn 
ough  money  to  buy  a  piano.    He  deliv- 
-ed  newspapers,   he   mowed   lawns,  he 
gged  for  a  chance  to  do  any  chore.  And 
!ter  long  months  he  had  saved  thirty- 
re  dollars — enough  to  buy  a  cheap,  see- 
d-hand piano. 

iHe  spent  hours  at  the  piano.  The 
;eam  came  to  life  at  the  touch  of  his 
fgers.    There  was  magic  in  his  melodies. 

knew  that  his  father  hated  to  see  him 
ivoting  so  much  time  to  music,  but  he 
jldn't  help  himself. 

Then  one  day  he  walked  into  the  liv- 
room  and  the  piano  was  gone !  White 
kl  pale  he  went  to  his  father  :  "What's 
opened  to  the  piano  I  bought?"  he 
sped. 

''I  sold  the  piano."  Sternly  his  father 
jd  the  boy.    "I  thought  practising  in- 
hered with  your  health." 
\o  piano  in  his  home  now !  That  might 
;ve  been  the  end    for  someone  else.  But 

Willard  the  dream  could  not  be  crushed. 
'iere  was  a  movie  house  in  Salina.  Per- 
ns they  could  use  a  pianist  there.  Will- 
;l  begged  for  the  job,  and  got  it.  At 
>  ven  dollars  a  week,  which  seemed  vast 
rahh  to  him.    For  wasn't  he  being  paid 

"  doing  what  he  wanted  to  do? 

7or  three  years  Willard  worked  at  this 
.  •,  trying,  with  the  melodies  he  played. 
»  drown  out  the  noise  of  the  projecting 
» chine.    He  worked  like  a  slave,  but  it 

s  heaven  to  him.  But  his  father  still 
1  X)sed  what  he  considered  Willard's  mad 
■  bition. 


"What  you're  doing  is  no  career  for 
a  sensible  person,  my  son,"  he  told  him 
firmly  but  kindly.  "Your  uncle  has  a 
fine  job  in  the  advertising  business.  Why 
don't  you  get  in  with  his  firm,  building 
signs  for  outdoor  advertising?" 

But  there  was  no  room  in  Willard's 
dream  for  the  building  of  advertising 
signs.  Playing  the  piano  and  improvising 
melodies  occupied  all  his  mind  and  heart. 

A  new  idea  took  shape.  He  would  or- 
ganize an  orchestra.  He  would  call  it 
"The  Deep  River  Orchestra."  Perhaps 
he  felt  that  its  music  would  be  like  the 
deep  rivers  of  the  South  and  the  South- 
west, soft  and  languorous. 

When  he  had  this  orchestra  organized, 
he  went  to  the  City  Fathers  in  Salina  and 
suggested  that  they  give  an  outdoor  dance 
in  the  main  park.  To  judge  by  the  glassy 
stare  in  their  eyes,  he  might  as  well  have 
asked  for  the  moon  ! 

"Did  you  ever  hear  the  like?"  they 
whispered  to  one  another.  "Outdoor 
dancing !  Why.  that  boy '11  send  us  all 
straight  to  perdition  if  we  listen  to  him!" 

But  Willard  met  a  live  wire  from 
Wichita.  Kansas,  who  saw  the  possibilities 
of  his  plan  and  went  with  Willard  before 
the  Welfare  Board  to  persuade  them  that 
platform  dancing  could  be  perfectly  moral. 
He  had  a  tactful  way  of  putting  things, 
and  before  they  knew  it  the  Welfare 
Board  of  the  town  had  agreed  to  the 
scheme. 

Getting  credit  from  the  lumber  people. 
Willard  had  a  huge  platform  built.  The 
nightly  dances  were  an  immediate  suc- 
cess. Willard  himself  played  the  piano 
and  sang  in  the  orchestra.  The  dance 
floor  was  made  of  pine,  and  between 
dances  Willard  took  a  bale  of  hay  and 
pulled  it  over  the  floor. 

News  of  the  success  of  the  platform 
dances  spread  throughout  Kansas,  and 
other  towns  followed  the  same  plan,  call- 
ing upon  Willard  to  furnish  the  orchestra 
for  their  dances. 

Through  the  South  and  Southwest.  Will- 
ard traveled  with  his  Deep  River  Orches- 
tra. He  was  no  shrewd  business  man. 
Often  they  played  just  for  their  food  and 
board.  Sometimes  greedy  and  dishonest 
managers  ran  away  with  the  total  receipts

it  and  fell  in  love  with  a  charming  dark- 
ed  girl,  Doris  Stevens,  and  they  were 
arried.  True  he  had  to  leave  her  in 
env'er  while  he  traveled  from  town  to 
wn  with  his  orchestra,  but  love  sur- 
ved  separation  and  enriched  their  lives, 
id  success  must  come  some  day ! 
Then  came  the  Pueblo  Flood  !  Willard 
■bison  and  his  band  of  musicians  nar- 
wly  escaped  the  horrible  death  that 
limed  so  many.  Willard  had  been  in 
'veland.  Colorado,  almost  in  the  very 
th  of  destruction,  when  the  flood  oc- 

•  rred.    And  he  had  just  received  a  mes- 

from  his  wife  that  a  little  daughter

What  a  bitter  mockery  of  fate  that  he 
>uld  be  stranded  here  while  his  wife 
is  passing  through  the  Valley  of  the 
tadow !  His  place  was  by  her  side.  And 
e  was  thirty  miles  away !  Regardless  of 
tiger,  of  possible  death,  through  almost 
^passable  roads  that  had  been  washed 
fay  by  the  flood,  Willard  walked,  accom- 
aied  by  faithful  Chris  Keen,  trap  drum- 
[  pr  in  the  Deep  River  Orchestra.  And 
.  they  walked  Robison  breathed  a  silent 
:iyer  that  he  and  his  friend  might  come 
.ve  through  this  tortuous  journey  so  that 
I  might  look  upon  the  face  of  his  first- 
!rn,  Joline. 

His  prayers  were  granted.    And  at  the 

■  I  of  their  trek,  Willard  found  a  starry- 

■  ■d  Doris  lying  in  bed  with  a  tiny  red 
ant  in  her  arms.  To  Willard  it  was 
■  most  beautiful  sight  he  ever  had  seen. 
3ut  even  though  he  now  had  a  wife  and 
■jghter  to  provide  for,  he  wasn't  yet 
;e  to  turn  his  back  on  the  pioneering 
'  h  he  had  chosen. 

Paul   Whiteman    had    heard  Willard's

R  house  he  had  loved  so  dearly,  and  he 
a  his  wife  and  daughter  moved  into 
a  ttle  one-room  apartment  in  Xew  York. 
«?re,  in  his  discouragement  and  grief, 


from  page  101) 

he  composed  his  best-kimwn  and  best  loved 
song,  "Cottage  for  Sale,"  little  suspecting 
that  out  of  the  royalties  on  that  song  he 
was  going  to  buy  back  that  cottage  of 
dreams. 

He  organized  a  new  Deep  River  orches- 
tra and  managed  to  get  a  hearing  at  WOK 
in  Xew  Jersey.  When  he  had  been  on 
the  air  for  just  a  single  week,  he  got  of- 
fers from  twelve  sponsors.  He  accepted 
what  seemed  to  be  the  best  of  these  offers. 

But,  strangely  enough,  though  his  spon- 
sors were  sure  that  it  was  Willard  Robi- 
son's original  type  of  music  that  they 
wanted,  when  they  got  him  they  insisted 
that  he  play  things  that  made  his  or- 
chestra just  another  dance  band.  The 
critics  were  caustic,  and  asked  what  had 
happened  to  the  Willard  Robison  they  had 
heard  on  WOR.  Willard  himself  was 
bitterly  disappointed,  and  at  the  end  of 
twenty-six  weeks  he  was  only  too  glad  to 
say  goodbye  to  his  sponsors. 

Sponsors  continued  to  make  splendid  of- 
fers but  Willard  turned  a  deaf  ear  to 
them.  Because :  "Forget  the  Deep  River 
style."  they  told  him.  "Your  music  is  too 
slow.  Do  things  our  way  and  we'll  have 
a  swell  commercial  program." 

"But  I  can't  forget  the  Deep  River 
music,"  Willard  told  them.  "It's  I — my- 
self— don't  you  understand?" 

Once  he  almost  accepted  a  sponsor's  of- 
fer. But  when  he  sat  down  at  the  piano 
to  play,  "Xobody  Knows  the  Trouble  I've 
Seen,"  a  song  which  takes  four  minutes  to 
play  in  the  right  tempo,  they  said  to  him  : 
"That  song  is  grand,  but  can't  you  play  it 
in  two  minutes  instead  of  four?"  And 
so  he  refused  to  lead  his  orchestra  for  that 
particular  sponsor. 

All  during  these  years  he  has  been  on 
the  air  as  a  sustaining  artist,  and  occasion- 
ally on  a  commercial  program,  but  the 
commercial  programs  were  few  and  far 
between,  for  he  refused  to  alter  his  music 
for  any  amount  of  money. 

And  when  he  finally  came  into  his  own. 
he  still  held  his  bright  dream  untarnished. 
Xow  when  you  hear  Willard  Robison  over 
the  air,  singing  his  semi-spiritual  songs, 
leading  his  orchestra,  and  playing  the  piano 
it  is  Willard  Robison  himself  you  are 
hearing  and  not  an  imitation  of  other  band 
leaders. 

So  many  of  us  sacrifice  our  dreams  in 
the  market  place;  so  many  of  us  let  them 
tarnish  with  the  years  while  we  accept 
compromises — we  need  to  be  reminded 
sometimes  that  a  man  like  Willard  Robi- 
son can  hold  on  to  his  precious  dream 
and  still  find  success  at  the  end  of  the 
road. 

It's  a  grand  story,  isn't  it?

RELIEVE  ACID 
INDIGESTION

Millions  Have  Found 
Faster,  Surer  Relief 
In  New-Type  Mint 


Hfc 


f Eartburn  is  distress- 
ing. But  there's  no 
longer  any  need  to  resort 
to  harsh  alkalies  in  order 
to  relieve  a  sour  stomach, 
gas,  or  after-eating  distress. 

Strong,  water-soluble 
alkalies  taken  in  excess 
may  change  the  stomach  juices  completely — 
slowing  up  digestion  instead  of  helping  it. 

The  new,  advanced,  most  effective  and  safe 
relief  for  acid  stomach  is  TUMS.  TUMS  con- 
tain no  soda  or  any  other  water-soluble  alkali — 
instead  this  candy-like  mint  contains  an  un- 
usual antacid  soluble  only  in  the  presence  of 
acid.  When  the  excess  acid  in  the  stomach  is 
neutralized,  the  remainder  passes  on  undis- 
solved and  inert.  No  danger  of  alkalosis  or 
kidney  poisoning  from  TUMS. 

Try  TUNIS — 3  or  4  after  meals,  when  dis- 
tressed. Eat  them  just  like  candy.  You'll  be 
grateful  for  the  wonderful  relief.  10c  a  roll  at

ever,  Fred  opens  his  show  with  the  theme 
music  of  "Sleep." 

*.  *■ 

Arthur  Jarrett,  good-looking,  singing 
banjo-player  who  used  to  be  on  the  air 
with  Earl  Burnett  and  later  with  Ted 
Weems,  has  organized  a  band  of  his  own 
and  is  on  the  air  from  Chicago.  Jarrett, 
handsome  as  Buddy  Rogers,  looks  swell 
waving  a  baton.  But  keep  your  eyes  off 
him,  girls— he's  married  to  Eleanor  Holm, 
lovely  swimming  star. 

One  Man's  Family  is  lucky !  For  two 
years  sustaining,  as  far  as  the  East  was 
concerned,  it  discovered  a  sponsor  to  fur- 
nish the  money.  Then,  on  five  days'  no- 
tice, the  sponsor  left  the  air.  But  after 
one  week  of  sustaining  again,  the  drama 
was  grabbed  by  the  people  who  have  been 
paying  Mary  Pickford's  salary.  One 
Man's  Family  is  slated  to  take  Mary's 
place  on  the  air  each  Wednesday  at  eight 
p.  m.  EST,  beginning  April  third. 

It  looks  like  love!  Kay  Kyser,  Maestro 
at  the  Blackhawk  in  Chicago,  used  to  be 
observed  at  the  French  Casino  in  the  early 
morning  hours,  apparently  fascinated  by 
the  music  of  Tom  Gerun.  It  developed 
that  the  source  of  fascination  was  Virginia 
Sims,  soloist.  Soon  they  were  seen  going 
places  together.  And  now  Virginia  is 
singing  with  Kay  and  the  boys  over  WGX 
every  evening. 

Page  Cupid !  Another  romance  has  flow- 
ered, we  hear — this  time  in  the  National 
Barn  Dance  troupe.  Lulu  Belle  (Myrtle 
Cooper)  and  Skyland  Scotty  (Scotty 
Wiseman")  were  married  recently. 

And  more  middle-aislers  in  the  same 
troupe — Larry  (Duke)  Wellington  of  The 
Westerners,  an  act  of  the  National  Barn 
Dance,  recently  married  Mary  Montgom- 
ery, WLS  accountant. 

Now  we  learn  why  Charles  Winninger 


left  the   Showboat.     He  wasn't  tired  < 
broadcasting.    He  was  just  tired  of  th; 
program.    It  appears  that  some  dissensioj 
developed  in  the  organization  and  Captai 
Henry  withdrew.

Wayne  King,  we  hear,  is  leaving  tl  [

Hotel  in  New  York.    He  turned  down  a 
offer  from  that  hotel  to  open  there  wh(

When  King  went  to  the  Aragon  in  192 
he  was  just  another  saxaphone  playe 
waving  a  baton  before  a  new  orchestra.  T( 
day  he  is  at  the  top  as  a  radio  entertain* 
and   internationally  known  as  the  wall 
king. 

Negotiations  are  under  way  to  have  M;

sors  have  long  been  interested  but  tl

mkering  for  a  home  in  the  suburbs  with 
garden  all  around  it,  and  a  husband 
honi  she  can  fuss  over. 
Then  romance  came — and  at  a  time  when

Idly  enough  which  was  to  play  the  role

'udio  B  of  the  original  NBC  building 
here  the  Palmolive  show  was  broadcast 
at  the  story  began. 

On  that  program  was  the  Revelers

oudly,  "and  I'm  having  a  party  to  cele-

Then  the  tenor  went  over  to  the  'cellist

And  that's  how,  on  Jimmy  Melton's

ogram,  met  Edgar  Sittig,  brilliant  young 
;llist  of  the  Palmolive  orchestra. 
They  had  so  much  in  common,  these  two. 
hey  discovered  that  they  both  loved  Bach, 
nd  Beethoven.  The  opera.  And  the 
>untry  when  there  was  snow  on  the 
'ootid. 

It  was  not  a  lightning  romance.  As  a 
atter  of  fact  it  started  out  as  a  most  con- 
rvative  and  easy-going  friendship.  Oc- 
sionally  they  would  go  to  the  opera  to- 
ther.  After  a  while  it  developed  into 
gular  Friday  night  opera  dates.  They 
ent  driving  out  into  the  country.  They 
tended  auction  sales  and  tried  to  outbid 
ch  other. 

They  mistook  that  glowing  feeling  they 
|  [It  for  each  other  as  nothing  more  than 
\  I  sincere  friendship,  and  it  might  have 

j'lie  on  that  way  indefinitely  if  Virginia's 

'reer  hadn't  come  to  the  rescue  and  jolted 

em  out  of  it. 
*|At  this  time  Virginia's  ascending  star 
lid  hit  a  snag.  You  may  remember  that 
the  Palmolive  Hour  she  sang  under  the 
]|me  "Olive  Palmer.''  When  the  Palm- 
I  live  program  left  the  air  she  discovered 
'  [at  all  she  had  was  loads  of  empty  glory, 

|SCrapbook  filled  with  praises  of  "Olive 

timer's"  voice. 

Here  was  a  most  unusual  problem !  She 
1  [d  been  building  up,  not  herself,  but  a 
liost  called  Olive  Palmer.    Potential  spon- 

rs  didn't  want  to  hire  "Olive  Palmer" 

ice  that  name  was  too  closely  associated 
I  th  the  product  of  her  old  sponsor.  Vir- 
piia  Rea  was  a  radio  unknown.  After  all 
ir  hard  work,  her  triumphs  in  Europe,  her 

ccessful  debut  on  the  air,  she  had  to  start 
,.>m  the  very  beginning  again!  Audi- 
.>iis  came  and  went,  and  still  she  couldn't 

ercome  the  bugaboo.    And  it  was  then, 


heartbroken  and  hurt,  that  she  realized 
how  fickle  a  career  could  be. 

It  was  Edgar  Sittig  who  helped  her. 
Gave  her  the  thing  she  needed  most  and 
never  had  had  ...  a  man's  shoulder  to 
lean  and  cry  upon.  It  was  Edgar,  musi- 
cian, business-man  and  showman,  who 
helped  unravel  the  knots  for  her,  planned 
every  step  of  her  come-back. 

Slowly  but  surely  Virginia — independent, 
ambitious  Virginia — realized  that  she  had 
grown  to  depend  upon  Edgar  for  every- 
thing. Once  when  he  left  on  a  concert 
tour,  she  walked  around  like  the  most 
forlorn,  forgotten  little  nobody  in  the 
world.  Even  the  prospect  of  a  fat  con- 
tract with  a  new  sponsor  couldn't  cheer 
her  up. 

And  Edgar?  Well,  show  me  the  man 
who  doesn't  go  gaga  at  the  prospect  of 
being  a  girl's  stalwart  protector.  Brings 
out  the  hero  complex  in  them !  And  Edgar 
is  as  human  as  the  next  fellow.  When  Vir- 
ginia was  the  successful,  clever  woman 
who  stood  firmly  on  her  own  two  feet 
and  knew  exactly  what  she  was  doing,  she 
was  a  pal.  But  as  the  helpless  girl  in  a 
maze  of  difficulties,  who  clung  to  him 
for  support — what  a  difference!  And  what 
a  grand  feeling  to  help  her! 

Did  I  say  her  career  was  the  match- 
maker? Well  directly  or  indirectly,  you 
see  how  it  worked. 

That's  how,  after  being  just  friends  for 
almost  five  years,  Virginia  and  Edgar  sud- 
denly realized  that  they  were  head  over 
heels  in  love.  They  didn't  tell  a  soul,  not 
even  the  folks.  They  just  hopped  into  a 
car  one  day,  sped  out  into  the  country,  and 
in  the  tiny,  red-carpeted  parlor  of  the  min- 
ister's home  they  were  married. 

Until  recently  star  of  the  Sunday  night 
"American  Album  of  Familiar  Music," 
Virginia  Rea  once  more  is  a  shining  star 
in  the  radio  heavens.  But  only  she  can 
know  what  an  important  role  her  husband 
has  played  in  this  latest  success. 

Virginia  and  Edgar  have  just  completed 
a  beautiful  home  in  the  quiet  Pocono  Hills. 
It's  right  on  the  edge  of  a  wild,  unculti- 
vated forest,  in  the  heart  of  the  country 
which  they  both  love  so  much.  And  in 
it  Virginia  has  carried  out  all  those  ideas 
which  colored  her  dreams  when  she  was 
a  lonely  little  singer  with  nothing  but  a 
career.  Everything  from  the  lavish,  wild 
flower  garden  to  the  quaint  cobblestone 
pathway  is  just  as  she  always  had  wished. 

They  started  to  build  their  home  in  May 
and  it  was  just  about  completed  the  fol- 
lowing March.  Almost  a  year  later,  mind 
you.  But  I  can't  help  thinking  that  their 
home  is  much  like  their  own  romance — 
something  that  took  longer  than  usual  to 
create,  but  is  built  on  a  firm,  solid  founda- 
tion.

WHOOPEE!  Also  yip.,  yipl  Every- 
body, radio  artists  and  all,  is  romp- 
ing over  hill  and  dale  to  Uncle  An- 
swer Man's  farm  in  the  country  for 
his  big  party.  He's  going  to  have  a 
(iiiestion-bee  in  his  bonnet — we 
mean  in  his  barn.  Everyone  who 
finds  a  red  ear  gets  a  kiss — oh,  no, 
that's  for  a  corn  husking-bee,  isn't 
it?  Well,  anyway,  Unkie  has  a  red 
ear  all  the  time,  the  way  readers  talk 
about  him  for  telling  them  not  to 
ask  more  than  two  questions 
and  not  to  ask  for  artists'  photo- 
graphs. 

Rut  this  time  Unkie's  going  to 
spread  himself.  He's  going  to 
tell  the  readers  that  for  one 
month — thirty  days,  seven  hun- 
dred and  twenty  hours — they 
can  ask  as  many  questions  as 
they  want  to.  Provided,  of  course, 
they  aren't  foolish  queries.  We 
just  don't  know  what's  got  into 
Unk,  unless  it's  that  cider 
Auntie  Answer  Woman  forgot 
to  throw  away  last  December. 

But  the  guests  are  arriving. 
Let's  eavesdrop  on  the  Misses 
Snoop  and  Peep,  the  village  gos- 
sip demons,  and  see  what  they 
have  to  say.  ( You  can  depend 
on  Peep's  answers.  She's  always 
right.) 

Snoop:  Oh,  goody!  Here 
comes  Glen  Gray's  orchestra.  I 
do  wish  I  knew  who  was  who? 

Peep:  Here's  the  list  right  on 
the  program,   dear.    See?  Mel 
Jenssen,  conductor  and  violin- 
ist; Glen  Gray,  Clarence  Hutch- 
enrider  and  Pat  Davis,  clarinet  saxo- 
phone   and    flute;    Kenny  Sargent, 
saxophone,  clarinet  and  tenor;  Bob- 
by Jones  and  Grady  Watts,  trum- 
pets; Sonny  Dunham,  trumpet  and 
trombone;   Billy   Rauch,  trombone; 
Pewee  Hunt,  trombone  and  baritone; 
Joe    Hall,   piano;    Jack  Blanchette, 
banjo  and  guitar;  Art  Ralston,  saxo- 
phone,  oboe   and   bassoon;  Stanley 
Davis,   bass;   Tony   Briglia,  drums, 
and  Gene  Gifford,  arranger. 

Snoop:  Aren't  they  the  sweetest 
boys!  Say,  I  do  wish  Bill  Childs  of 
the  Sinclair  Minstrels  were  here  to 
tap  dance  for  us  to  their  music. 

Peep:  Silly!  Bill  doesn't  do  that 
dancing  himself  on  the  air.  It's  just 
a  sound  effect,  done  with  drumsticks. 
That's  what  makes  the  studio  audi- 


ence laugh.    It's  always  so  ridiculous. 

Snoop:  Oh,  there's  Bing  Crosby  and 
his  brother  Bob!  Him, -boo,  Bin^! 
Confidentially,  Peep,  I've  always  won- 
dered whether  Bing  and  Dick  Powell 
actually  play  their  piano  accompani- 
ments in  the  movies  and  on  the  air. 

Peep:  Oh  I  know  they  don't.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  Bing  plays  the  piano 
very  little  and  then  only  by  ear.  Dick- 
plays  a  little  but  not  enough  for  the 
movies  or  the  air. 


Marge  and  Jack  of  "Myrt  and  Marge" 

Snoop:  Bob  Crosby's  a  charming 
boy.    I  wish  I  knew  more  about  him. 

Peep:  Why,  Snoop,  I  know  about 
everything  there  is  to  know  about 
Bob!  For  instance.  He  was  born 
August  25th,  1913,  in  Spokane,  Wash- 
ington. He  went  on  the  air  for 
the  first  time  from  a  station  there 
while  he  was  still  in  high  school.  An- 
son Weeks,  orchestra  leader,  was  in 
San  Francisco  at  the  time  and  hap- 
pened to  hear  him.  Bob  took  the  job 
Anson  offered  him  and  sang  with  the 
band  for  one  summer.  Then  he  went 
back  to  high  school  and  two  years  in 
Gonzaga  University.  After  that  he 
went  back  with  Anson  Weeks.  Right 
now  he's  out  on  a  vaudeville  tour  with 
D'Orsay  Brothers'  orchestra.  He's 
quite  a  bit  different  from  Bing,  you 


notice.  He's  dark  and  his  eyes  are 
blue  and  he  has  black  hair.  And  look 
at  the  size  of  him!  Six  feet  and 
weighs  one  hundred  and  seventy-five 
pounds.  He'll  be  a  catch  for  some 
girl. 

Snoop:  Oh,  dear!  I  wish  I  were 
younger!    Isn't  that  Frank  Parker 

taking  off  his  coat  over  by  the  corn 
crib? 

Peep:  To  be  sure.  Frank — come 
over  here!  Listen,  I  heard  on  a 
"Gossip  Club"  program  that 
you  were  five  feet  seven  inches 
tall  and  that  you  weigh  one 
hundred  and  thirty-five  pounds 
and  that  you'd  be  thirty  in  July. 
Now  in  Radio  Stars  Uncle  An- 
swer Man  said  you  were  five 
feet  ten  inches  tall  and  weigh 
one  hundred  and  fifty-five.  Who 
is  right? 

Frank:  Well,  girls,  I  hate  to 
admit  it,  but  Unkie's  right. 
Well,  so  long  girls.  See  you 
later. 

Snoop:  Humph!  Seems  to  me 
he  might  have  asked  me  to 
dance. 

Peep:  Oh,  be  your  age  and  I'll 
tell  you  some  more  about  Frank. 
Mmm.    Let's  see.    His  parents 
were  Italian.    He  was  born  and 
raised  on  the  lower  East  Side  of 
New  York  City.  He  got  his  first 
break  when   he  was  a  chorus- 
boy   in   the   Greenwich  Village 
Follies,  and  was  given  the  ju- 
venile part  in  an  emergency  and 
made  good  at  it.    His  nickname 
is  "Ciccio,"  by  the  way,  which 
is   Italian   slang  for   Frank.    If  he 
ever  made  love  to  you  he'd  prob- 
ably do  it  by  singing  and  playing  the 
guitar  and  taking  you  riding  in  his 
Rolls  Royce,  which  is  his  greatest 
extravagance.  Or  maybe  he'd  try  to 
get  you  to  play  polo  with  him.  He's 
crazy  about  that.    But  don't  worry. 
He  won't  try. 

Snoop:  Ah,  no!  I  suppose  not. 
Why  is  it  that  Conrad  Thibault  re- 
minds me  of  Frank  so  much? 

Peep:  Perhaps  it's  because  he's  a 
Latin,  too.  He's  of  French  extrac- 
tion, you  know.  About  the  same  age, 
too.  He  was  born  November  13th, 
1906,  in  Northbridge,  Massachusetts. 
He's  a  little  bigger  than  Frank 
though.  He's  five  feet  eleven  inches 
tall    and     (Continued    on    page  81)

A  NEW  KIND  OF  LIPSTICK  ...  A  NEW  KIND  OF  DRY  ROUGE 
WORK  MIRACLES  IN  RED 

Maddening  hues,  yes!  Colors  that  thrill,  taunt  and  tempt!  Truly  enough 
(and  you'll  knou-  it  the  instant  you  try  them)  such  rapturous,  vicked  reds 
have  never  been  used  in  lipstick  or  rouge  before.  But  there's  more  reason 
than  that  for  the  soul-stirring  madness  so  generously  imparted  by  SAVAGE 
Lipstick  and  the  new  SAVAGE  Rouge. 

SAVAGE  Lipstick  works  differently  from  ordinary  lipstick.  Its  gorgeous 
color  separates  from  the  cosmetic  after  application  to  become  an  actual 
part  ot  the  skin.  Wipe  the  cosmetic  away  and  see  your  lips  teasingly, 
savagely  red  .  .  .  but  without  the  usual  discouraging  pastiness.  Imagine  a 
lipstick  like  that!  Better  yet,  experience  its  magic  on  your  own  lips.  One 
or  more  of  the  four  luscious  SAVAGE  shades  is  sure  to  be  exactly  yours. 

SAVAGE  Rouge.  . .  an  utterly  new  kind  of  dry  rouge  ...  so  much  finer 
in  texture  than  any  other  that  it  blends  right  into  the  skin  Itself  ...  to 
stay,  with  full  color  intensity,  throughout  the  exciting  hours  it  invites, 
instead  of  quickly  fading  away  as  ordinary  rouge  does.  You'll  love  it,  and 
the  shades  are  identical  to  those  of  SAVAGE  Lipstick  so  that  your  cheeks 
and  lips  will  be  a  thrilling,  perfect  symphony  of  maddening,  meaningful  red. 

Then  .  .  .  SAVAGE  Face  Powder 

And  what  a  different  face  powder  this  is;  so  fine,  soft,  smooth  and 
so  surprisingly  different  in  the  results  it  gives.    Apply  it,  and  it  seems 
to  vanish  .  .  .  but  the  skin-shine,  too,  has  gone.  Imagine  it!  Everything 
you  want  from  powder,  but  no  "powdered"  look;  just  caressing  soft 
smoothness  that  is  a  feast  for  eyes  and  a  tingle  tor  finger  tips  it  makes 
so  eager.  Four  lovely  shades.

a  smile  can  work  . .  .  what  a  flaunt-

But  do  you  realize  what  a  shock  of

;ives  a  glimpse  of  dingy  teeth  and  tender

DON'T  IGNORE  "PINK  TOOTH  BRUSH " 

t'ou  can't  afford  to  take  chances  —  to 
gnore  a  warning  that  threatens  your  smile 
nd  your  dental  health.  Dental  science  has 


explained  and  stressed  that  warning — 
"pink  tooth  brush."  Foods  that  rob  our 
gums  of  exercise  —  soft  and  creamy 
dishes  that  tempt  our  palates  but  lull 
our  gums  to  sleep — those  are  the  reasons 
for  the  modern  plague  of  tender,  ail- 
ing gums. 

If  your  tooth  brush  even  occasionally 
shows  "pink"— do  the  sensible  thing.

ABRIL    LAMARQUE,  ART  EDITOR 


I  was  sallow 
and  sort  of  logy 


•  Everything  I  ate  seemed  to  give  me 
gas— I  just  couldn't  get  my  system  regu- 
lated properly.  My  little  boy  suffered 
from  constipation,  too,  and  didn't  like  the 
taste  of  castor  oil.  His  teacher  advised 
me  to  give  him  FEEN-A-MINT.  He 
thought  it  was  just  nice  chewing  gum 
and  took  it  without  the  usual  fuss.  It 
gave  him  such  a  prompt  and  complete 
movement  that  I  chewed  one  myself. 
That  was  over  a  year  ago  and  I  want  to 
tell  you  that  FEEN-A-MINT  has  been  a 
welcome  friend  in  relieving  constipation. 
I  wouldn't  have  any  other  laxative  in  the 
house. 

Used  by  over  15,000,000  people 

Our  files  are  full  of  letters  telling  what  FEEN-A- 
MINT  does  for  people.  Doctors  know  that  FEEN- 
A-MINT  does  a  more  thorough  job,  and  does  it 
gently,  because  you  must  chew  it — and  chewing 
spreads  the  laxative  evenly  through  the  intestines 
so  that  more  complete  relief  comes  without  strain- 
ing and  griping.  Try  FEEN-A-MINT  yourself — 
you'll  join  the  15.000,000  people  who  are  boosters 
for  FEEN-A-MINT— 15  and  25c  at  any  druggist's.

AN  IMPROVED 
MASCARA 

New  Emollient  Winx  Widely 
Welcomed.   Gives  Your  Eyes 
Alluring  Beauty 

A/TY  final  achievement  in  cake  mascara, 
my  new  emollient  Winx  is  a  nation- 
wide sensation.  It  brings  women  every- 
where the  finest  lash  beautifier  my  experi- 
ence can  produce — one  with  a  new,  sooth- 
ing effect  that  solves  old-time  problems. 

It  has  three  virtues,  this  new  emollient 
Winx,  which  I  can  prove: 

/i\   It  has  a  greater  spreading  capacity, 
'    '   overcoming  the  artificial  look  of  an 
ordinary  mascara. 

t*)\  Its    soothing,   emollient    oils  keep 
'    '  lashes  soft  and  silky  with  no  danger 
of  brittleness. 

/ o\  It  cannot  smart  or  sting  or  cause  dis- 
»    '  comfort.    It  is  tear -proof,  smudge- 
proof,  absolutely  harmless. 

I'm  so  confident  that  I've  won  leadership 
in  eye  make-up  that  I  can  afford  this  offer 
— your  money  back,  without  question,  if 
you  don't  agree  that  I  can  beautify  your  eyes. 

Give  your  lashes  a  long,  silky  effect 
with  my  Winx  Cake  Mascara.  Shape  your 
brows  with  a  Winx  pencil.  Shadow  your 
lids  with  Winx  Eye  Shadow.  The  result 
will  delight  you,  giving  your  face  new 
charm. 

Buy  any  or  all  of  my  Winx  eye  beauti- 
fiers.  Make  a  trial.  If  you  are  not  pleased, 
for  any  reason,  return  the  box  to  me  and 
I'll  refund  your  full  price,  no  questions 
asked.

KEEP  YOUNG  AND 
BEAUTIFUL 

The  woman  who  wins  attention 
is  one  who  moves  gracefully 

By  MARY  BIDDLE 


JUNE  wedding  marches  will 
soon  be  ringing  triumphantly 
in  our  ears,  and  summer  breezes 
will  be  wafting  the  lilting  mel- 
odies of  sympathetic  dance  or- 
chestras to  couples  who  dance 
under  the  stars.  "Love  in 
Bloom"  is  something  more  than 
a  popular  radio  song.  The  ro- 
mantic months  are  here.  And 
so  it  is  hut  natural  for  us  to 
turn  to  the  ever-recurrent  sub- 
ject of  how  to  be  attractive  to 
men. 

Charm  has  heen  described  as 
'"a  sort  of  bloom  on  a  woman." 
Without  it  a  woman  never  flow- 
ers into  her  rightful  heritage  of 
beauty  and  romance.  And  who 
is  better  qualified  to  advise  on 
the  factors  of  a  woman's  charm 
than  the  man  who  sees,  every 
night,  a  regular  "Peacock's  Al- 
ley" parade  of  the  cream  of 
New  York  society's  beauty  and 
distinction? 

Xavier   Cugat,   the  famous 


tango  maestro,  who  holds  forth 
nightly  in  the  ballroom  of  the 
exclusive  Waldor  f-Astoria 
Hotel  in  New  York,  and  whose 
soft  Spanish  music  comes  to 
you  every  Saturday  night  over 
the  radio,  believes  that  one  of 
the  most  important  factors  of 
a  woman's  charm  is  her  car- 
riage. Every  night  Cugat 
watches  hundreds  of  women, 
dancing,  walking,  standing.  All 
kinds  and  types  of  women.  So- 
ciety women,  theatrical  stars, 
shop-girls,  stenographers. 

Graceful  carriage,  according 
to  the  popular  Cugat,  is  what 
sets  a  woman  apart  from  the 
crowd. 

"The  woman  who  wins  at- 
tention on  my  dance  floor." 
Xavier  told  me  in  his  soft- 
spoken  English  so  reminiscent 
of  his  own  land  in  the  delight- 
ful accent  that  clings  to  it,  "is 
the  woman  who  stands  grace- 
fully, (Continued  on  page  77)

grace,  and  Margo,  sensational  Rhumba  dancer,  illustrates.

at  parties? 

FANE:  The  men  simply  won't  dance  with  her  — 
it's  a  shame  she's  so  careless. 


HELEN:  Just  look,  I've  spoiled  another  dress 
under  the  arms!  In  spite  of  everything  I  do, 
I  can  never  feel  safe  in  a  warm  room. 

MARY:  Why  don't  you  use  Kleinert's  Dress

they're  guaranteed  to  protect  your  dress.

in  every  dress  I  own.  Mary  says  they  will 
prevent  friction  and  weakening  of  the  fabric 
as  well  as  perspiration  stains. 

JANE:  I'm  so  glad  you  insisted  on  Kleinert's  — 
it  always  seems  silly  to  accept  a  substitute 
when  genuine  Kleinert's  cost  as  little  as  25c 
a  pair.  Well  —  I  must  run  along  home  —  be 
sure  to  come  early  tonight,  it's  going  to  be

•  earing.  Women  who  dress  well  have  discovered  that  clothes  last 
ongcr  and  look  better  if  the  underarms  are  protected  from  friction, 
taining,  and  weakening  of  the  fabric  by  perspiration  chemicals.

A  lay  view  of  some  of  its  problems 


Now  that  miracles  of  mechanical 
invention  have  become  so  much  a 
matter  of  course,  we  no  longer  won- 
der at  them.  We  expect  them.  We 
demand  them.  And  the  less  we,  the 
uninitiated,  know  of  the  stupendous 
problems  involved  in  the  working  of 
these  miracles,  the  more  impatiently 
we  clamor  for  them. 

In  a  way  that's  not  a  bad  thing. 
Desire  or  need  supply  the  impulses 
which  bring  all  things  to  birth.  We 
wanted  electricity,  and  we  got  it.  We 
wanted  swift  automobiles,  and  we 
have  them.  We  wanted  airplane 
service  to  transport  us  across  the 
continent  in  twenty- four  hours,  and 
it  is  established.  We  wanted  motion 
pictures,  and  they  no  longer  are  "in 
their  infancy."  We  wanted  radios, 
and  they  have  become  a  part  of  the 
daily  life  of  the  nation. 

Now  we  want  television.  And  of 
course  we  shall  have  it.  Nothing 
can  stop  us  from  getting  what  we 
want !  True,  we  won't  have  it  next 
month.  Perhaps  not  next  year.  So 
if  you  are  thinking  of  buying  that 
new  radio  set,  go  right  ahead.  Don't 
wait  to  get  one  offering  television 
reception  as  well.  There  still  are 
technical  problems  which  must  be 
solved  in  the  laboratories.  And  there 
are  operating  and  commercial  prob- 
lems to  be  solved  by  the  organiza- 
tions which  will  bring  the  new  mir- 
acle to  us. 

Let's  just  glance  at  some  of  the 
intricacies  involved.   Since  television 


already  exists  in  the  laboratories,  let's 
see  what  problems  must  first  be 
solved  before  we  can  have  it  in  our 
homes.  Don't  be  alarmed.  This  isn't 
going  to  be  technical.  Even  we  lay- 
men can  learn  a  bit  about  these  prob- 
lems and  so  understand  why  \vt 
haven't  television  as  yet,  and  won't 
for  a  little  while. 

In  the  first  place  there  is  the  prob- 
lem of  wires.  ...  To  bring  sound 
into  our  homes,  radio  broadcasting 
companies  pay  vast  sums  for  the  use 
of  thousands  of  miles  of  telephone 
wires,  from  which  the  transformed 
sound  waves  are  distributed  to  radic 
broadcasting  stations.    Now  our  ra- 
dio sound  vibrations  range  approxi 
mately   from   twenty-five   to  eight 
thousand  cycles.    But  optical  vibra 
tions  are  very  much  higher  and  de 
mand  more  "cycle  power"  than  any 
wires  now  existing  can  carry.  Sc 
the  present  wire  systems  are  not  suit- 
able   for   interconnecting  television 
stations,  as  they  are  for  radio  broad 
cast  stations.    In  order  to  bring  tele 
vision  into  homes  throughout  the 
country,   either  a  new  system  of 
wires  reaching  from  city  to  city  must 
be  created  or  radio  relay  stations 
must  be  established. 

Such  relay  stations  aren't  neces- 
sary in  the  sound  broadcasting  we 
have  today.  Radio  sound  waves  flow 
thousands  of  miles  through  the  air| 
without  interruption,  lifting  orj 
bounding  over  any  obstacle  to  their 
course.  But  (Continued  on  page  61)

FAN  CLUBS  FORM  NATIONAL  FRA1 


STATEMENT   OF  PURPOSE 

The  purposes  of  the  Liiteners'  League  of  America  are  threefold. 
They  ore: 

1.  To  give  a  voice  to  the  vast  body  of  listeners  for 
the  betterment  of  broadcasting. 

2.  To  champion  the  cause  of  the  artists  around 
whose  talents  the  business  of  broadcasting  is 
built. 

3.  To  protect  listeners  from  the  abuses  of  poor 
or  objectionable  programs. 


Provisions  Made  For 
Those  Who  Cannot  Be 
Members  of  Chapters 

Since  Chapters  must  have 
ten  or  more  members,  some 
people  might  have  been  deprived 
of  affiliations  with  the  League 
had  it  not  been  for  a  special 
provision  just  completed  for  that 
group. 

It  provides  for  one  central 
Chapter  which  we  have  named 
after  Marconi,  inventor  of  the 
radio,  for  each  radio  artist,  to 
be  composed  of  those  who,  be- 
cause of  their  residence  in 
sparsely  populated  communities 
or  because  of  other  local  con- 
ditions, are  prevented  from 
forming  ten  or  more  persons 
into  a   regular  Chapter. 

By  this  means,  no  radio  lis- 
tener will  be  deprived  of  par- 
ticipation in  the  League.  These 
individuals  apply  for  member- 
ship in  the  same  manner  as 
regular  Chapter  members,  in- 
dicating on  the  application, 
however,  that  they  are  not 
affiliated  with  a  local  Chapter. 

Activities  of  these  Chapters 
will  be  handled  directly  by  the 
New  York  office  of  the  League. 


MEMBERS  RECEIVE 
VARIED  BENEFITS 


Fans  Will  Have  Closer  Contacts 
With  Their  Air  Favorites 


Organizers  of  the  Listeners' 
League  of  America,  in  co-opera- 
tion with  Radio  Stars  Maga- 
zine, outline  the  benefits  of  the 
League  as  being  based  primarily 
upon  the  idea  of  bringing  the 
artist  and  his  or  her  followers 
into  closer  fraternalism. 

To  do  this,  the  League  lists 
seven  benefits  it  will  endeavor 
to  achieve  in  behalf  of  its 
members.  They  are : 

1.  To  conduct  a  correspond- 
ence clearing  house  for  mail 
between  members  and  artis's. 
Mail  can  be  sent  direct  to  the 
artists  in  care  of  the  League 
headquarters,  149  Madison  Ave- 
nue, New  York  City,  and  it 
will  be  delivered  direct  to  the 
artists. 

2.  To  furnish  each  member 
with  an  official  membership 
card  which  will  entitle  mem- 
bers to  the  benefits  of  the 
League.

of  the  Lis-

dio artists  sent  messages  pledg- 
ing their  support  and  urging 
their  fans  to  affiliate  with  the 
League. 

"We  find  in  this  League," 
said  a  prominent  broadcasting 
official,  "a  means  to  organize 
listeners  into  one  vast  audience 
whose  opinions  will  undoubtedly 
be  an  important  factor  in  pro- 
gram building. 

Rudy  Vallee  stated:  "It 
seems  to  me  that  there  is  a 
definite  place  in  radio  for  a 
Listeners'  League.  I  am  happy 
to  know  that  Radio  Stars 
Magazine  has  undertaken  to 
sponsor  such  an  organization. 
I  heartily  recommend  it  to  my 
friends."

the  loyalty  and  help  of  my  fans.

KATE:  "Look,  Ida.  That  wash  of  Mrs. 
Palmer's  is  full  of  tattle-tale  graj."  ' 

JOAN:  "And  how!  That  dingy  color 
almost  shouts  that  her  soap  didn't  get 
out  all  the  dirt." 


ERNIE:"Wh-e-e!  All  dolled  up  for  Dad." 
IDA:  "It's  an  old  dress  —  but  it  looks  so 
nice  and  white  now — you'd  think  it  was 
new.  I  could  hug  Kate  for  making  me 
change  to  Fels-Naptha  Soap." 


FELS-NTAPTHA  Soap  is  tuo  dirt-loosen- 
ers instead  of  one. 
Richer  golden  soap  and  plenty  of  naptha 
added!  Fels-Naptha  doesn't  skip  over 
dirt  like  "trick"  soaps  do.  It  gets  ALL 
the  dirt — even  the  deep-down,  stuck-fast 
kind.  It  gets  clothes  beautifully  white! 


IDA:  "You  know,  Kate  —  my  clothes 
look  terrible — but  what  can  I  do?" 

KATE:  "Just  change  to  Fels-Naptha  — 
and  dirt  can't  stay  behind.  Smell! — that 
golden  soap  holds  lots  of  naptha." 


IDA:  "Hey,  you  little  rascal!  Don't  you 
muss  up  mother's  silk  things.  Those  are 
my  best  stockings  and  undies  —  and 
Fels-Naptha  is  the  only  thing  that's 
gentle  enough  for  them." 


Fels-Naptha  is  safer,  too — gtntlt  as  can 
be  to  daintiest  things.  And  it's  kind 
to  hands — there's  soothing  glycerine  in 
every  golden  bar. 

Get  some  Fels-Naptha  today.  It's  great

Dont  choose  i|our 
laxative  Arffas/fifj/ 


to 


BLIND  Man's  Buff  is  no  game  to  play... 
in  any  matter  pertaining  to  your  health. 
VThen  you  need  a  laxative,  you  must 
know  beforehand  how  it  will  act  on  you. 

Harsh  laxatives  will  cause  stomach  pains, 
upset  you,  leave  you  weak.  Laxatives  whose 
sole  virtue  is  gentleness  may  fail  to  be 
thorough. 

You  must  have  both  thoroughness  and 
gentleness... you  must  have  pleasant,  pain- 
less, complete  relief  from  constipation. 
Never  be  satisfied  with  less  from  a  laxative. 

Why  America  uses  more  Ex-Lax 
than  any  other  laxative 

Ex-Lax  is  as  thorough  as  any  laxative  you 
can  take.  "Vet  its  action  is  so  gentle ...  so 
completely  without  stomach  pains.  Ex-Lax 
doesn't  leave  you  feeling  weak,  doesn't 
upset  you.  Ex-Lax  is  not  habit-forming  — 
you  don't  have  to  keep  on  increasing  the 
dose  to  get  results.  And  Ex- Lax  is  not  a 
punishment  —  it's  a  pleasure  to  take.  It 
tastes  just  like  delicious  chocolate.  Ex-Lax 
has  no  unpleasant  after-taste  and  no  bad 
after-effects. 

Millions  of  people  have  found  this  out. 


And  last  year  alone,  46  million  boxes  of 
Ex-Lax  were  bought! 

And.  ..that  "Certain  Something" 

So  many  imitators  have  tried  to  produce 
a  chocolated  laxative  that  would  equal 
Ex-Lax.  But  they  couldn't.  Why?  Because 
Ex-Lax  is  more  than  just  a  chocolated  laxa- 
tive. Because  the  exclusive  Ex-Lax  process 
gives  Ex-Lax  a  "certain  something"— a  cer- 
tain ideal  action  that  words  just  can't 
explain  and  that  no  other  laxative  has.  But 
once  you  try  Ex-Lax,  you'll  know  what 
we  mean,  and  nothing  else  will  ever  do 
for  you. 

Ex-Lax  comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  at 
any  drug  store.  If  you  would  like  a  free 
sample,  mail  the  coupon.

RADIO 
BOWS  TO 

HUEY  LONG 


HE  talks  through  the  air  with  the  greatest  of  ease, 
this  red-headed  fat  man  on  the  puhlic  trapeze.  We're 
discussing  Huey  P.  Long  who  is  going  to  make  all 
the  rich  men  poor  and  all  the  poor  men  rich.  And 
he's  going  to  do  it  by  radio.    So  he  says. 

"Call  me  Kingfish,"  he  tells  you  when  you  meet 
him.  "Get  out  of  ma  way,"  he  bawls  to  traffic  cops. 
"This  is  the  Kingfish!"  And  they  get.  That  name — 
Kingfish — where  do  you  think  he  got  it?  From  Amos 
'n'  Andy,  of  course.  If  it  wasn't  such  good  advertising, 
they  might  sue  him.  His  life  is  like  that,  all  bound  up 
in  radio.  His  mind  is  a  15-tube  set  hooked  to  a  500- 
yard  aerial — a  good  mind — and  it  helps  him  to  listen  in 
and  get  what  the  public  is  saying  and  thinking. 

What  he  thinks  he  says.  His  voice  is  a  50,000-watt 
transmitter  all  by  itself.  It  blares.  It  lambastes.  It 
battles  through  the  ether.  It  butts  in  on  other  broad- 
casts. 

This  daring  young  man — he  is  only  forty-three — would 
be  exactly  nowhere  if  it  weren't  for  radio.  Even  when 
he  makes  speeches  directly  to  the  people,  radio  helps  him 
because  he  speaks  from  sound  trucks  equipped  with  am- 
plifiers which  carry  his  voice  to  many  additional  thou- 
sands. Without  the  air  to  swing  on,  he  might  still  be 
hoeing  corn  on  a  red  clay  farm  in  Louisiana.  Or  be  a 
waiter.  Or  a  bartender.  Or  a  cake  maker.  All  of  which 
he  was  before  he  got  into  politics — which  is  to  say,  before 
he  got  into  Radio. 

Did  you  ever  see  him  speak?  Well,  you  should.  This 
man's  double-jointed.  He  can  swing  his  arms  farther 
back  than  a  man  in  a  circus.  He  swings  them,  flails  them, 
shoots  them  up  and  down,  his  hands  opening  and  shut- 
ting. He  rams  his  fist  down  into  the  palm  of  his  hand 
with  the  smack  of  a  6-inch  gun.  He  sticks  out  his 
stomach — menaces  you  with  it.  He  rocks  on  his  heels, 
hunches  his  shoulders.  His  head  goes  way  back,  his 
brown  eyes  get  red  and  gleaming.  His  wide  mouth,  full-

But  is  he  Pied  Piper,  leading  rats  to  ruin,  or 
Modern  Moses  bound  for  the  Promised  Land? 


BY  GEORGE  KENT 


Huey  P.  Long 
of  Louisiana 
makes  a  suc- 
cessful plea. 


lipped,  opens  as  big  as  a  yawn  and  out  of  his 
throat  comes  the  voice  that  yon  know,  hard 
and  emotional  and  persuasive.  He  is  a  spell- 
binder and  a  stem-winder,  who  knows  every 
trick  in  the  soap-box.  He  brags  that  he  never 
has  experienced  stage- fright. 

General  Hugh  Johnson — 
once  in  command  of  the 
N.R.A.— called  him  a  Pied 
Piper.  Now,  as  you  know, 
the  Pied  Piper  was  a  raga- 
muffin who  played  the  flute  so 
well  and  so  long  that  all  the  rats  and  babies 
followed  him — to  their  rnin.  If  we  follow 
Huey  Long,  what  does  that  make  us?  We 
have  a  choice  of  being  classified  as  either  rats 
or  babies.  Still,  you  never  know.  Many  a 
man  has  started  out  as  a  Pied  Piper  and  ended 
up  as  a  Moses  leading  his  people  out  of  the 
wilderness. 

When  Huey  came  to  the  mike  some  weeks 
ago  to  answer  General  Johnson's  famous  at- 
tack upon  him  and  Father  Coughlin — he  made 
the  same  old  gestures  but  he  made  them  for 
the  photographers  before  he  actually  started 
speaking.  When  he  started  to  speak,  his 
hands  hung  at  his  sides — only  his  face  moved. 
Only  his  clothes  were  the  same — the  same 
badly  cut  brown  tweed  suit,  the  same  old  red 
necktie,  the  same  old  pink 
handkerchief  in  his  breast 
pocket. 

And  the  words  he  used 
were  good  words.  There  were 
no  "ain'ts,"  no  tough  out-of- 
the-ditch  words.  He  gave  us 
the  most  refined  Huey  we  have  had  since  he 
escaped  from  his  Louisiana  reservation.  The 
explanation  is — Harvard.  Fair  Hhhvudl  Two 
young  fellows  from  that  institution  of  swank 
decided  that  Mr.  Long  was  the  coming  man 
and  thev  attached  themselves  to  him.  They've 
taken  him  in  hand.  They're  polishing  the 
rough  pearl  from  the  Loui-iana  bayo'us. 
Thev're  ironing  out  his  English,  amputating 
his  "ain'ts" — teaching  him  manners,  in  short, 
making  a  gentleman  of  Long. 

Thataway  lies  danger.  By  becoming  too 
swank  he  runs  the  risk  of  losing  the  support 
of  the  cracker-barrel  politicians,  the  mud- 
wallowers,  the  poor  whites  who  have  made 
him  and  kept  him  the  big  frog  in  his  Louisiana 
puddle.  But  we  shall  hear  what  we  >hall  hear. 
His  battle  for  power— for  the  Presidency  of 
the  United  States— is  being  fought  in  your 
ears,  in  your  loudspeakers. 
With  Mrs.  Radio  for  the  first  time  in 
Huey  on  a  history  will  decide  a  Presi- 
v  a  cation  dential  election.  Right  now 
in  Hot  the  war  is  between  him  and

son  and  Coughlin.  Xext  it  may  be  between 
Long  and  Roosevelt.  If  the  President  ever 
decides  to  take  a  fireside  swat  at  Huey — well, 
all  I  can  say  is,  poor  Huey!  But  who  knows? 
This  is  a  funny  world — and  anything  may- 
happen  ! 

Pll  say  it  would  be  funny  to  find  Huey  Long 
in  the  White  House,  the  man  who  has  been 
called  Hooey  Huey,  Hooligan  Huey,  the  Cock- 
alorum of  Louisiana — and  a  hundred  worse 
names.  He  has  been  accused  of  every  crime 
in  the  calendar.  He  has  been  charged  with 
kidnaping,  with  graft,  with  bribery,  with  plun- 
dering, with  banditry.  He  has  been  called  a 
thief  and  a  liar  at  least  a  thousand  times.  He 
was  charged  directly  with  dickering  with  Bat- 
tling Bozeman,  a  heavyweight  prizefighter, 
to  assassinate  the  Honorable  Jared  Y.  Sand- 
ers, one  of  his  opponents.  He  has  denied  all 
of  these  accusations  and  charges.  The  Sen- 
ate, the  Department  of  Justice  and  the  State 
of  Louisiana  have  all  investigated  him — from 
well-bottom  to  rafters — and  they  have  found 
nothing.  Either  there  was  nothing  to  find,  or 
he  was  too  clever ! 

He's  more  than  clever.  His  enemies  de- 
clare he  is  a  genius.  All  ragged,  mussed  and 
dirty,  he  has  lounged  in  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States  while  his  neat,  well- 
groomed  adversaries  sneered — and  he  has  won 
his  cases.  Xot  only  won  them  but  got  himself 
compliments  from  these  great  judges  on  the 
brilliance  of  his  presentation.  Grudgingly 
those  who  know  his  history  admit  that  Huey 
Long  is  one  of  the  smartest  lawyers  in  the 
country.  Operating  single-handed  in  the  Sen- 
ate, he  puts  it  over  on  the  slickest  politicians 
in  the  land  because  he  knows  the  law — knows 
what  he  can  get  away  with,  how  much  mur- 
der he  can  commit  with  impunity. 

This  is  the  man  who  started  out  in  life  as 
one  of  six  children  of  a  poor  red-earth  farmer 
in  a  small  Louisiana  parish.  His  ancestors 
were  Irish,  Welsh,  Pennsylvania  Dutch  and 
French. 

Nine  days  out  of  ten  his  diet  was  blackstrap 
molasses  and  corn  pone.  At  seven  he  was 
working  in  the  fields.  At  thirteen,  he  had  left 
home  and  was  peddling  books  from  door  to 
door.  He  worked  at  a  dozen  other  jobs.  One 
of  them  was  as  demonstrator  tor  a  baking 
powder  company  and  he  gave  demonstrations 
of  cake  making — awarding  prizes  for  the  best 
cake.  One  time  a  girl  named  Rose  McCon- 
nell  won  the  prize.  She  also  won  Huey  Long. 
He  married  her. 

Up  to  that  time  he  had  had  a  High  School 
education  and  one  year  at  the  University  of 
Oklahoma. 

"I  didn't  learn  much  there,"  he  said.  "Too 
much  excitement,  all  (Please  turn  to  page  97)

T 

I  where  I  sat  sleepily  waiting  for  a  jury  to  come  in. 
I  A  lady  of  the  Broadway  song  and  dance  semi- 
I  naries  had  taken  bull's-eye  aim  at  her  beau's  hard 
*  heart,  laying  him  among  the  sweet  peas  forever 
,iore. 

The  jury  came  in  after  a  night  of  haggling,  and  set 
he  homicidal  cutie  free  to  shoot  some  more.  At  break- 
ast  her  attorney  told  me  something  I  shall  always  re- 
aember. 

"We  beat  that  rap  with  the  unwritten  law."  the  bar- 
ister  said.    "Kid,  the  unwritten  law  is  stronger  than  any 
aw  on  the  books." 
All  of  radio's  laws  are  unwritten. 
There  is  no  kilocycle  constitution  engraved  on 
11,  imprisoned  by  pen  and  ink  so  all  can  read, 
se  who  make  their  living  in  the  studios  are  gov- 
ed  by  this  unwritten  code.  There  are  universal 
les  that  never  are  set  down  on  paper  but 
hich  are  as  stern  as  any  roster  of  conduct 
or  court  procedure  devised  by  Blackstone. 

There  are  people  in  radio  who  do  not 
peak  to  one  another  when  they  pass  in  the 
arrow  studio  corridors,  yet  they  send  long 
nd  happy  wires  of  congratulations  on  the 
ights  when  their  enemies  begin  a  new  pro- 
ram  to  assure  them  of  their  good  wishes. 
I  have  frisked  my  brain,  badgered  radio  wise- 
cres  with  questions,  asked  every  one  from  page  boy 
">  president — but  no  one  can  tell  me  why  they  do  it. 
"They  just  do  it,"  they  explained  unsatisfactorily. 
I  recall  sitting  in  the  murky  twilight  of  a  night-club 
round  the  corner  from  Columbia's  studios  on  Madison 
Vvenue,  with  a  knocking  knot  of  radio  troupers.   \\  ith 
adistic  happiness  they  were  sticking  knives  into  the  backs 
f  absent  brothers  and  sisters.   The  name  of  a  certain 
■rchcstra  leader  came  up.  The  most  violent  hater  of  the 
pissing  baton  boss  was  a  young  singer,  who  tore  the 
[rchestra  leader  to  tatters.   He  said  he  was  a  rat,  the 
leanest  man  in  the  world  to  those  who  worked  for  and 
ith  him,  that  he  knew  as  much  about  music  as  a  butcher 
bout  art. 

"Gee,  that  reminds  me."  he  said.   "I  forgot  to  send 
iat  dope  a  telegram !  He  opens  on  a  new  show  tonight." 
I  helped  the  serenader  compose  the  telegram.  If  mem- 
fry  serves  this  fatigued  brain,  it  read  something  like  this  : 

I  "A  great  fellow  like  you  rates  all  the  success  and  the

happiness  in  the  world  stop  I  know  you  will  he  sensational 
on  your  new  show  and  you  z<'ill  he  the  talk  of  the  town 
stop  I'm  rooting  for  you." 

He  hurried  to  a  telephone  booth  and  sent  it.  When  he 
returned  to  the  table,  I  asked  him  why  he  had  telegraphed 
congratulations  to  a  man  he  hated. 

"Oh,"  he  said,  "he  sent  one  to  me.  He  always  does." 

He  had  obeyed  the  unwritten  law  of  radio.  That 
was  all. 

It  is  an  unwritten  law  that  you  must  attend  the  hotel 
and  night  club  openings  of  orchestras,  if  you  are  a  per- 
former. The  badge  of  radio  success  is  the  frequency 
with  which  you  are  seen  at  ringside  tables  at  these  noisy 
festivals.  The  same  people  compose  the  audience  at  every 
opening. 

The  broadcasting  chains  who  microphone  these  jam- 
borees usually  run  the  seating  arrangements.  It  is  an 
unwritten  law  that  the  stars  who  get  the  highest 
salaries  never  get  a  check.   But  those  per- 
formers who  are  struggling,  trying  to  live  on 
small   salaries,   get   the   worst  tables — and 
would  be  arrested  if  they  tried  to  put  a  check 
on  the  cuff ! 

Another  unwritten  law  is  that  the  most  ca- 
pable  performers   present   never  perform. 
They  take  their  bows  with  a  blase  majesty, 
and  then  angrily  wave  the  spotlight  off  them  as 
the  crowd  applauds  for  them  to  do  their  acts.  Oc- 
casionally, if  the  applause  keeps  up,  they  will  mutter 
a  few  words.   If  they  are  not  introduced,  they  will  stalk 
peevishly  from  the  room,  swearing  they  were  deliberately 
insulted. 

If  you  can't  make  it.  you  wire.  But  if  you  can  make 
it,  you  come  to  the  cabaret  or  hotel  opening  of  the  man 
you  hate. 

There  is  a  man  in  radio  who  is  a  social  ogre.  He  is  an 
orchestra  leader,  and  is  insulting  and  arrogant. 

I  think  no  one  hated  him  more  than  the  torch  singer 
who  sulkily  muttered  of  love  while  he  led  his  orchestra 
in  sultry  accompaniment. 

The  young  lady  spent  most  of  her  spare  time  telling 
people  how  she  loathed  him.  She  refused  to  talk  to  him, 
snubbed  him  openly  at  the  studio.  It  was  her  endless 
complaint  that  the  man  was  ruining  her  with  his  inferior 
music. 

But  one  snowy  night  in  February  the  orchestra  leader 
started  a  run  in  one  of  the  town's  caravansaries.  The 
voung  singer  had  a  cold,  and  (Continued  on  page  88)

Yet  tests  on  the  skins  of  hundreds  of  women  show  Lifebuoy 
is  more  than  20  per  cent  milder  than 
many  so-called  "beauty  soaps". 

Never  take  chances  with  "B.  O."

THE  story  of  how  Colonel 
Stoopnagle  and  Budd  fought 
the  battle  of  New  York  is  an 
old  one,  but  it  bears  repeating. 
All  the  critics  and  cynics  of 
adio  row  were  assembled  around  a 
Manhattan  banquet  board  to  greet  anc 
>e  greeted  by  two  upstate  comedians 
iamed  Stoopnagle  and  Budd.  All  the  critics 
ad  heard  stories  of  these  two  quietly  mad  gentle- 
ien,  of  the  following  they  had  won  on  a  local  station,  of 
heir  lunatic  antics  on  the  airwaves.  All  the  critics  and  the 
Y"'0*  were  sitting  back  in  their  chairs  wearing  "I'm-from- 
^issouri"  looks  in  their  eyes.  Two  ill-at-ease  fellows  at  the 
able's  end  had  been  presented  as  the  Colonel  and  Budd. 

Two  waiters  entered  and  began  to  serve.  It  was  noticed 
lot  the  portlier  of  the  two  was  excessively  clumsy.  He 
ivited  a  guest  to  have  some  toast.  The  guest  politely 
sfused.  The  waiter  shoved  the  toast  under  the  guest's 
ose  and  demanded  that  he  take  some.  The  startled  guest 
bjected.  The  waiter  flung  the  entire  platter  in  the  guest's 
ip,  snarling:  "When  I  says,  'Have  some  toast,'  yuh  gotta 
jke  some  toast,  see?" 

The  second  waiter  leaped  to  the  first  waiter's  side,  abus- 
»g  him  for  his  impoliteness.  They  glared  at  each  other, 
i  a  moment,  chinaware  was  flying  through  the  air,  and  the 
>om  was  in  an  uproar.    When  they  finally  were  parted,

they    were    introduced    by  their 
right  names. 
The  two  waiters,  ladies  and  gentle- 
men, were  Colonel  Stoopnagle  and 
Budd.  The  other  two  men  were  merely 
substitutes.    Prom  that  day  to  this  the 
critics  and  cynics  of  radio  row  have  been 
firm  boosters  for  the  zany  pair. 
The  public  has  heard  them  in  a  variety  of  pro- 
grams.   None,  however,  has  allowed  them  the  free 
rein  of  their  new  Friday  night  show  on  the  CBS  network. 
None  has  permitted  them  to  jibe  so  freely  at  the  false 
dignity  of  the  world  we  live  in. 

Without  being  malicious,  their  humor  both  scoffs  and 
scorches.    It  tears  off  false  fronts  and  false  faces. 

Because  Colonel  Stoopnagle  and  Budd  spring  from 
broadcasting  itself  instead  of  from  the  theatre  as  do  so 
many  other  comedians,  because  their  refreshing  fun  pro- 
vides us  with  some  of  the  brightest  evenings  on  the  radio

cured it  because  it  shows  why  the 
amateurs,  called  a  fad  last  year,  con- 
tinue to  be  the  marvel  of  radio,  with 
Major  Edward  Bowes,  granddaddy 
of  the  idea,  the  latest  to  join  the  net- 
works. 

Glittering  fame,  swollen  lank  ac- 
counts, famous  names  compose  the 
bright  reward  that  beckons  to  the 
amateurs,  urging  them  on.  For  that 
they  must  lower  their  heads  and  their 
new,  young  talents  to  the  searing 
sarcasm  of  an  acid  and  comic  mas- 
ter of  ceremonies.  But  do  they 
care  ? 

I  asked   a  young  girl   who  sat 


among  the  hundreds  of  waiting  ap- 
plicants. She  was  tiny,  her  hair  was 
braided,  and  her  eyes  were  big  with 
wonder  at  the  things  she  was  see- 
ing. She  had  come  hundreds  of 
miles  for  this. 

"No,"  she  said.  "It's  all  right, 
but — "  her  eyes  became  worried, 
"they  won't  give  me  the  gong  if 
I'm  good,  will  they?" 

A  moment  later  I  heard  her  sing- 
ing in  a  high,  thin  voice.  She  was 
not  good!  She  was,  even,  pitifully 
bad.  I  knew  that  if  she  were  al- 
lowed to  broadcast,  it  would  only  be 
so  that  she  could  be  cut  off  and  her 
voice  kidded. 

I  asked  three  young  men  who 
played  on  harmonicas. 

"But  doesn't  everybody  get 
ribbed?"  they  asked.  "Didn't  they 
kid  Crosby  ?  Didn't  he  win  out  ? 
Didn't  Frank  Parker  have  a  tough 
time?   What's  a  kidding?" 

They  found  out  last  week. 

One  out  of  a  thousand  has  what 
it  takes.     (Continued  on  page  J 05)

GOD  LOOKS 
AFTER  LOVERS 


How  Love  and  Dreams  Have 
Shaped   a   Glorious  Voice 


By  A 
W  H  I 
FLET 


IT  was  in  France, 
in  1918.  The  air  quiv- 
ered with  the  rumble 
of  distant  guns,  of 
bursting  shells  whose 
vibrations  shook  the 
whitewashed  walls  of 
the  hospital.  The  hospital  beds 
stood  in  stiff,  white  rows.  Between 
them  moved  a  ministering  nurse 
followed  by  a  little  girl  who  wore 
a  starched  apron  over  her  frock  and 
carried  the  pan  in  which  the  band- 
ages were  held. 

She  had  long  spindly  legs,  this 
little  girl,  and  because  she  walked 
carefully  and  stiffly,  lest  jarring  a  bed 
she  cause  one  extra  thrust  of  pain, 
she  had  the  appearance  of  a  little 
wooden  figure  worked  by  strings. 

Sometimes  as  she  stood  with  her 
mother,  the  nurse,  beside  a  bed,  a 
soldier  would  attempt  a  joke.  Her 
eyes  wouldn't  smile,  only  her 
mouth.  For  in  that  long  white 
room  where  pain  lived  her  eyes 
were  well  occupied  with  the  seri- 
ous business  of  keeping  back  the 
tears.  Under  no  circumstances 
must  they  be  allowed  to  fall  until 
she  had  escaped  from  all  these 
broken  men  as  well  as  from  her 
mother's  anxious  eyes. 
-  That  little  girl  was  Lily  Pons. 
Lily  Pons,  who  today  gives  per- 
formances for  those  Kings  and 
Queens  left  with  the  sceptres  to 
command  them.  The  glamorous, 
gay  Lily,  who  fills  the  golden  horse- 
shoe at  the  Metropolitan  with  its 
most  brilliant  audiences.who  crowds 
opera  houses  in  all  the  capitals  of 
the  world,  for  that  matter.  And 
who  now  sings  over  the  radio  to 
charm  an  entire  land  with  music 
such  as  only  a  privileged  few  ever 
heard  before. 

It  wasn't  right,  of  course,  for 
a  little  French  girl  to  spend  her 


DELE

days    walking,  stiff 


and  careful,  through 
hospital  wards.  She 
ought  to  have  been 
out  in  the  sunshine 
keeping    house  with 
her  dolls  under  a  palni 
tree.    But  it  wasn't  right,  either, 
that   men,   boys   many   of  them, 
should  lie  there,  broken. 

It  was  the  war.  .  .  And  even  if 
Lily  never  had  stepped  inside  a  hos- 
pital there  were  other  things,  all 
calculated  to  make  her  old  and  sad 
beyond  her  eleven  years.  The  lists, 
for  instance,  which  were  posted 
outside  the  Post  Office  on  the 
Square.  Long  rows  of  black  let- 
ters which  here  and  there  took 
startling  form  to  become  the  name 
of  a  relative  or  a  friend.  Those 
interminable  lines  in  which  Lily 
must  take  her  place  with  other  chil- 
dren and  men  and  women  to  wait 
rations  of  food.  Nights  when  a 
siren  sent  the  darkness  trembling 
and  her  mother  aroused  her  and 
her  two  younger  sisters,  that  they 
might  join  hundreds  of  others  scut- 
tling like  rats  for  the  cellars. 

It  was  the  scuttling  that  Lily 
hated.    Not  the  Zeppelins. 

"The  raids  themselves  never 
frightened  me,"  she  says,  telling  of 
those  years,  gesturing  with  her 
lovely  white  hands.  "My  mother 
used  to  have  to  pull  me  from  my 
bed.  And  I  well  remember  her  hor- 
ror that  evening  the  raid  came  early 
and  I  insisted  upon  waiting  in  the 
street  to  watch  that  great  thing 
move  across  the  sky." 

We  were  sitting,  Lily  Pons  and 
I,  in  her  studio  living-room,  a  room 
so  large  that  two  concert  grand  pi- 
anos do  not  crowd  it.  Into  this  room 
she  has  put  all  the  things  she  loves.

WILL  CONRAD  MARRY 

Former  marriages  brought  grief  to  both  of  them.  Now 


BY  DORA  ALBERT 

THE  first  time  Mary  Courtland  saw  Conrad  Thi- 
bault  a  great  wave  of  unhappiness  swept  over  her. 
She  couldn't  understand  it.  The  boy  was  singing 
for  a  gay  group  of  guests  at  Bill  Stuhler's.  The 
place  was  full  of  radio  celebrities,  which  is  just 
what  you'd  expect  at  Christmas  Eve  at  Bill's  place, 
for  Bill  is  head  of  a  radio  department.  Outside 
it  was  bitter  cold,  but  inside  there  was  a  warm 
hearth-fire,  and  only  a  moment  ago  the  air  had 
been  filled  with  a  kind  of  radiant  bappiness. 

Now  Conrad  sang  a  simple  song:  "The  Day  Is 
Done,"  and  the  very  air  of  the  room  seemed  filled 
with  a  kind  of  melancholy. 

Was  it  the  song  that  had  awakened  this  strange 
mood  in  her,  Mary  wondered,  or  was  it  something 
about  Conrad,  some  brooding  unhappiness  that  was 
in  his  heart  and  had  somehow  been  transferred  to 
hers  ? 

Impatiently  she  tried  to  shake  off  the  thought, 
but  there  it  was.  And  there  it  remained  all  evening. 
Even  when  she  and  Don  Vorhees,  the  orchestra 
leader,  and  Conrad  gathered  together  before  the 
piano  and  laughingly  tried  to  compose  a  mad  little 
song,  "In  the  Middle  of  the  Night,"  even  while  their 
laughter  rang  through  the  rooms,  an  undercurrent 
of  sadness  kept  welling  into  her  heart. 

But  for  Conrad  the  evening  was  quite  different. 
It  had  started  off  miserably,  for  it  was  his  first 


Christmas  since  the  death  of  his  wife,  Madeleine.  But 
though  he  had  entered  the  room  with  the  burden  of  the 
pain  he  had  been  carrying  in  his  heart,  he  shook  it  off 
that  evening.  Suddenly  he  felt  light-hearted  and  gay,  as 
he  hadn't  felt  for  many,  many  months. 

For  a  long  time  he  had  brooded  over  the  death  of 
Madeleine,  his  child-wife,  just  when  he  was  on  the 
threshold  of  success.  What  a  crazy-quilt  pattern  fate 
wove,  he  thought  bitterly,  depriving  him  of  the  girl  he 
loved  just  when  he  might  have  given  her  some  of  the 
luxuries  for  which  they  had  fought  and  struggled  and 
starved. 

Never,  he  told  himself,  would  he  love  another  woman 
as  he  had  loved  Madeleine,  for  where  was  there  a  woman 
with  her  simplicity  and  sincerity?  His  lips  curved  in  a 
bitter  smile  as  he  thought  of  the  women  he  had  met  on 
Radio  Row,  gold-diggers,  self-seekers,  women  who  would 
trample  over  anything  or  anybody  to  get  ahead. 

And  though  Mary  Courtland,  with  her  midnight  black 
hair  and  her  dark  eyes,  looked  startlingly  lovely  that  night, 
it  never  occurred  to  Conrad  to  seek  her  out.  He  had 
learned  that  she  was  a  radio  singer,  ambitious,  he  sup- 
posed, ready  to  use  every  feminine  wile  to  get  ahead. 
Well,  he  wouldn't  help  her!  He  knew  the  kind  too  well, 
these  girls  who  hid  their  ruthlessness  under  a  shy  manner. 

Afterward  he  met  Mary  occasionally,  when  she  was 
rehearsing  for  some  radio  program.  And  he'd  say: 
"Hello,  how  are  you?"  and  let  it  go  at  that.  Oh,  no, 
he  had  no  interest  in  the  girl  at  all. 

Suddenly  it  was  June.  The  skies  over  Manhattan's 
soaring  towers  were  a  symphony  in  blue.    The  sunlight 


Last  winter  brought  the  thrill  of 
sleighing  through   the  city  streets. 


Summer  finds  them  relaxing  happily 
together  at  a  charming  beach  resort.

oured  pale  gold  on  the  sidewalks,  and  even  indoors 
nere  was  sunlight  spilling  itself  all  over  everything, 
"onrad,  with  a  party  of  friends,  came  into  a  little 
inchroom  near  the  studio  and  they  sat  down  at  one 
if  the  tables.  Near  them  sat  a  girl,  sipping  an  ice- 
ream  soda. 

[  "Why,  Mary,"  said  Conrad,  his  voice  elaborately 
:isual,  "what  have  you  been  doing  to  yourself? 
A'here  did  you  get  that  grand  tan?" 
i  "Horseback  riding,"  laughed  Mary.  "Didn't  you 
now  I  was  the  original  tomboy?  But  you've  got 
uite  a  tan,  yourself.  Where  did  you  get  yours — 
nder  a  sun  lamp?" 

I  "Oh,  no,"  demurred  Conrad,  "mine  is  just  as 
ermine  as  yours.  I  got  mine  at  the  beach — at  the 
ido." 

And  so  they  sat  there  and  talked  commonplaces. 
;ut  try  as  they  might  to  be  casual,  there  suddenly 
as  the  beating  of  magic  wings  in  that  little  lunch- 
>om.    For  they  were  discovering  that  they  were 
some  enchanted  way,  although  altogether  different 
om  each  other,  strangely  akin. 
That  sounds  rather  paradoxical,  doesn't  it?  But 
think  I  can  explain  it,  for  I  know  both  Mary  and 
onrad.  Conrad  is  by  birth  and  nature  what  Mary 
lis  been  striving  to  be  all  her  life.    Brought  up  to 
|  a  clinging  vine,  Mary  never  really  fitted  into  the 
tttern,  and  strove  all  her  life  to  break  away  from 
and  fight  for  the  independence  which  she  felt  was

FOUR  SECRET  TRAGEDIES 
IN  VIVIENNE  SEGAL'S  LIFE 


IT  seems  strange,  to  those  who  do  not  know  her,  that 
Vivienne  Segal,  who  three  times  has  won  fame — each 
time  in  a  different  medium,  stage,  screen  and  radio — 
should  be  so  quiet,  so  elusive,  so  remote.  In  New  York, 
where  she  now  is  starring  on  major  programs  over  two 
great  networks,  they  say  that  she  slips  away  from  the 
microphone  as  soon  as  she  has  finished  singing,  or,  before 
rehearsals,  waits  dreamily  in  some  dim  corner.  Those 
who  do  not  know  her  find  it  difficult  to  figure  out 
"Sonny"  (her  middle  name  is  Sonia)  Segal.  But  her 
friends  understand  the  reason  for  her  sadness — know 
the  grim  ghosts  of  tragedy  that  haunt  the  scenes  of  her 
success. 

She  couldn't  have  been  much  more  than  an  infant  when 
the  idea  of  going  on  the  stage  first  occurred  to  her.  At 
least,  she  still  was  a  mere  child  when  she  startled  Broad- 
way into  acclaiming  her  a  star. 

It  was  odd,  perhaps,  that  it  should  have  happened  so. 
Her  father,  Dr.  Segal,  was  a  wealthy  and  successful 
physician  in  the  fashionable  Chestnut  Hill  section  of 
Philadelphia.    One    would    have   expected  Vivienne's 
thoughts  to  run  on  beaux  and  parties  and  the  usual 
routine  of  a  popular  sub-deb.    One  would  have 
imagined  Mrs.  Segal's  hopes  and  plans  for  her 
lovely  little  daughter  to  have  centered  in 
such  a  course,  to  culminate  in  a  notably 
successful  marriage.  Such,  no  doubt, 
were  the  conventional  thoughts  of 
the    conservative    Dr.  Segal. 

But  in  Vivienne's  heart 
the  dream  of  a  stage 
career  superseded  all 
other  thoughts 
and  interests. 
Over  and 
over 


again  she  pleaded  with  her  mother,  exhorted  and  argue 
with  all  the  ardent  conviction  of  her  brief  twelve  year 
It  took  courage.    But  Vivienne  Segal  had  that  in  fu 
measure.    It  took  ambition,  self-reliance,  determina- 
tion.   But  those  qualities,  too,  were  hers.    And  it 
took  a  lovely  voice  and  an  instinct  for  dramatic 
art,  which  gifts  also  the  good  fairy  had 
dropped  into  Vivienne  Segal's  cradle. 
And  so  she  persisted  in  her  pleas. 

Like  most  mothers,  Mrs.  Segal 
longed  to  give  her  child  what- 
ever she  most  desired.  But 
this  time  she  hesitated. 
It  was  as  if,  wiser 
than  the  inexpe- 
rienced girl, 
she  saw  far 
ahead 


Glamorous,  wistful  an< 
charming — all  of  these  i 
Vivienne  Segal.  And  read 
ng  this  poignant  and  stir 
ring  story  of  her  life,  W' 
understand  why  these  thre 
words  are  so  characteristic 
And  the  word  courageous 


Vivienne  samples  a  product 
of  her  own  cooking.  Later 
foregathering  with  children 
in  the  park,  for  a  balloon 
Derby.  And,  still  later,  she 
relaxes  for  a  quiet  hour  in 
her  charming,  artistic  home.

Turning  a  spotlight 
on  grim  ghosts  that 
mock  a  brave  success 


the  long  road  on  which 
success  and  defeat  and  joy 
and  heartbreak  met  and  min- 
gled.   Yet,  in  the  end,  she  must 
have  doubted  that  warning  vision — 
for  she  surrendered,  and  twelve-year- 
old  Vivienne  was  given  her  first  chance, 
appearing  as  Puck  in  an  amateur  performance 
of  Midsummer  Night's  Dream. 
To  both  Vivienne  and  her  mother  her  first  press 
notices  seemed  thrillingly  important.    One  said :  "The 
die  fitted  her  better  than  her  tights."   And  after  that  the 
,nging  for  more  of  that  heady,  exciting  wine  was 
evitable.    During  the  next  three  years  Vivienne  took 
in  many  such  amateur  productions — singing,  danc- 
ng,  playing  the  piano.    And,  watching  her,  Mrs.  Segal 
>egan  to  observe  in  her  little  girl  what  seemed  at  least 
spark  of  authentic  genius.    And  genius,  coupled  with 
he  beauty  and  acknowledged  charm  which  already  had 
nade  the  young  girl  the  most  popular  of  Philadelphia's 
ub-debs,  might  take  her  far. 

And  so,  when  Vivfenne  suggested  a  week's  shopping 
our  in  New  York,  again  Mrs.  Segal  capitulated.  That 
s,  ostensibly  it  was  a  shopping  tour — for  both  Vivienne 
nd  her  mother  knew  in  their  hearts  that  Dr.  Segal  never 
vou\d  approve  of  a  stage  career  for  his  little  girl. 
>ecretly,  then,  they  would  visit  theatrical  managers  in 
uest  of  an  engagement.  She  was  fifteen  now,  and  grown 
p,  Vivienne  said  hopefully.  If  the  quest  were  success- 
ul,  then  they  would  confess  to  Dad.  Otherwise,  they 
'ould  return  home  and  nothing  should  be  said  about  it. 
The  adventure  was,  perhaps,  even  more  discouraging 
dan  the  none-too-sanguine  Mrs.  Segal  had  feared.  Each 
vening,  reviewing  the  day's  disappointments,  it  seemed 


ver 


more  and  more  futile  to  go  on.  But  the  week  was  not 
yet  done.  On  the  sixth  day  they  achieved,  through  an 
agent,  an  appointment  for  the  morrow  with  the  Shuberts. 
And  that  night,  as  she  slept,  Vivienne  smiled  happily  in 
her  dreams. 

But  the  Shuberts,  although  they  were  looking  about 
for  an  unsophisticated  young  girl  who  could  both  sing 
and  act,  were  unimpressed  with  Vivienne's  press  notices. 
All  her  acting,  they  jx>inted  out,  had  l>een  done  with  her 
friends.  She  might  not  appear  to  such  advantage  among 
professionals.  Besides,  they  were  staking  their  money 
at  the  moment  on  an  inexperienced  young  composer. 
Sigmund  Romberg,  and  to  offset  that  they  must  have 
more  experience  in  the  leading  role.  True,  they  conceded, 
she  auditioned  well. 

It  was  hard  to  go  home  after  that.  Tears  blinded 
Vivienne's  eyes  as  she  walked  aimlessly  through  the 
streets  of  the  unfriendly  city.  But  presently  courage 
came  back,  and  a  proud  smile.  She  had  spent  three  years 
working  for  her  chance  in  the  theatre.  She  hadn't  won 
it  this  time — but  win  it  she  would ! 

Back  home  two  days  slipped  slowly  past.  Vivienne 
played  croquet  on  the  smooth  green  lawn.  She  played 
bridge.    She  danced  .  .  . 

And  then  a  telegram  came !  From  the  Shuberts !  And 
they  wanted  Vivienne  to  come  to  see  them  at  Long 
Branch,  New  Jersey,  regarding  the  part  she  had  tried 
out  for  in  the  Romberg  operetta. 

Once  again  the  two  conspirators  put  their  heads  to- 
gether. Telling  Vivienne's  father  that  they  had  to  go 
again  to  New  York  for  fittings,  they  hurried  to  the 
Shubert  theatre  in  Long  Branch,  where  "Blue  Paradise  - 
was  being  tried  out. 

"Well,"  Jake  Shubert  asked.  (Continued  on  page  66)

Hi 


Frank  Mclntyre,  the 
Captain  Henry  of 
Showboat  fame. 


One  Who 
Listened 
Now  Tells  All 


Audrey   Marsh  the 
>ne-time  singing 
voice  of  Mary  Lou 


WON'T  tell  you  my  name  because  it  might  get  me 
into  trouble.    You  wouldn't  know  me  anyhow,  for  I 
don't  sing,  I  don't  act,  and  I'm  not  one  of  the  gold- 
braid  wearers  in  the  musical  crew  of  the  Showboat. 
But  one  gift  I  have  got;  I  can  listen.    During  the  last 
few  years  I've  listened  a  loj.    I've  been  with  Captain 
Henry's  Showboat  since  it  first  poked  its  nose  into  the 
Mississippi.    Between  decks,  take  it  from  me,  a  heap  of 
things  happen  that  never  get  into  the  microphone.  Scan- 
dal and  tragedy  and  jealousy  are  just  part  of  the  things 
I  mean.    And  just  part  of  the  things  I  know. 

Don't  think  I'm  being  disloyal  to  my  ship  in  telling 
these  tales.  They've  never  seen  print  before,  true 
enough,  and  my  bosses  would  be  after  my  scalp  if  they 
knew  I'd  decided  to  talk,  but  what  has  already  happened 
can't  hurt  the  Showboat  now,  nor  the  talking  about  it. 

To  be  blunt,  it's  a  miracle  that  the  Showboat  hasn't 
sunk  long  ago.  But  it  hasn't ;  it's  still  floating  high  and 
tight,  one  of  radio's  great  programs.  Which  makes  it  a 
miracle  ship  in  more  ways  than  one  as  you'll  see  when 
you  know  the  things  I  know.  The  things  about  the  old 
Captain  Henry  and  the  new  Captain  John  Henry,  for 
instance.  The  things  about  Lanny  Ross  and  Mary  Lou 
and  all  the  others. 

I  began  work  on  the  Showboat  in  October,  1932.  The 
stars  were  Charles  Winninger,  Lanny  Ross,  Annette  Han- 
shaw,  Rosaline  Greene,  Jules  Bledsoe,  with  Don  Voor- 
hees  leading  the  orchestra.  A  nice  crew,  but  it  wasn't 
long  before  they  began  to  break  apart.  You  couldn't  tell 
it,  not  on  our  broadcasts,  but  the  rest  of  the  week  wasn't 
so  peaceful. 

I  think  the  Mary  Lou  trouble  came  as  near  to  sinking 
The  third  of  the  the  big  ship  as  anything  that  has  happened  during  the 
Mary  Lou's  was  last  two  years.  You  wouldn't  think  sweet,  sugary  little 
Lois     Bennett.    Mary  Lou  could  do  anything  to  sink  a  radio  show,  would

SHOWBOAT  SAILOR 


ju.'   But  she  almost  did.    And  this  is  how  it  hapj)ened  : 
From  the  very  beginning,  Mary  Lou  was  just  a  fake 
le  picked  out  of  the  sky  and  given  to  the  cute  and 
lddly  heart  interest  in  the  Showboat  cast.    From  the 
beginning,  she  was  two  separate  people;  that  was 
here  and  why  the  fireworks  started. 
She  was  two  separate  people  because  the  radio  master- 
inds  who  built  the  Showboat  learned  early  that  it  is 
ird  to  find  a  singer  who  can  act  or  an  actress  who  can 
ng.    Since  the  public  can't  see  what  happens  at  the 
her  end  of  the  broadcasting  set-up,  they  solved  the 
oblem  by  using  both  singer  and  actress, 
[j  The  first  Mar)'  Lou  was  the  capable  radio  actress, 
osaline  Greene,  for  the  talking  part  and  hard-working 
abel  Jackson  for  the  singing.   Splitting  up  roles  that 
py  is  an  old  radio  trick;  even  Lanny  Ross,  in  those 
|  ivs,  had  a  double  named  Allyn  Joclyn  who  took  over  the 
inny  lines  as  soon  as  Lanny  finished  singing. 
Mary  Lou  was  just  three  weeks  old  when  the  first 
s  of  trouble  appeared.  Somebody  decided  that  Mabel 
>n  wasn't  handsome  enough  for  the  publicity  pho- 
phs  that  were  being  sent  out.    Get  a  new  voice  for 
Jpart,  the  higher-ups  decided.    The  public  wouldn't 
)tice  the  difference.    So  the  singing  half  of  Mary  Lou 
"ced  the  plank  and  was  replaced  by  Audrey  Marsh. 
Whether  the  public  noticed  then   or  not,   I  never 
uned ;  Audrey  wasn't  aboard  that  long.    They  said  her 
~e  didn't  blend  with  Lanny's. 
The  third  Mary  Lou  was  a  girl  who  managed  to  be  in 
e  center  of  a  lot  of  excitement  later.    She  sang  like  a 
rk  and  then  got  her  notice  just  like  the  others  for  the 
me  reason  they  side-tracked  Mabel  Jackson    Not  good- 
"ing  enough,"  they  whispered.    Then  they  got  Muriel 
'ikon. 

By  this  time,  most  of  us  deck-hands  were  getting  dizzy 


watching  the  procession.  We'd  see  Rosaline  Greene  get 
up  each  Thursday  night  and  say  Mary  Lou's  lines  and 
then  step  back  for  some  singing  new-comer.  How  the 
public  stood  for  it,  or  accepted  it  is  a  thing  I  just  don't 
savvy,  but  apparently  they  did.  for  the  Showl>oat  kept 
right  on  riding  along. 

Replacing  Muriel  Wilson  was  Katherine  Xeuman,  a 
dazzler  for  looks,  with  an  angel's  voice.  If  my  diary's 
right,  she  stayed  with  us  exactly  one  week.  What  the 
matter  was  with  her.  I  don't  know,  but  I  remember  like 
it  was  yesterday  how  she  got  the  works.  It  happened  in 
the  middle  of  rehearsal  and  her  whole  family  was  there. 
Tiny  Ruffner  came  out  and  broke  the  news,  with  all  her 
relatives  waiting  for  her  to  do  her  stuff  and  make  them 
proud.  I  still  remember  her  pretty  mouth  sort  of  work- 
ing and  trying  to  smile  and  then  flattening  out  as  if  her 
will  couldn't  lift  the  corners  of  her  lips. 

That's  show  business.  I  guess,  land  or  sea.  If  an  actor 
doesn't  click,  out  with  him. 

The  fifth  Mary  Lou  was  Lois  Bennett.  She  had  every- 
thing, of  course;  looks,  experience,  voice,  and  a  disposi- 
tion that  gave  out  violet  rays  and  vitamines  A  to  G\  She 
didn't  last  l>ecause  somebody  got  a  letter.  Somebody  got 
a  letter,  maybe  several  of  them,  which  said  the  public 
was  getting  sick  and  tired  of  this  switching  and  shuffling 
of  Mary  Lou's.  This  letter  said  the  Mary  Lou  the  writer 
wanted  was  Muriel  Wilson,  the  .inging  Slary  Lou  \'o.  3. 

You  can't  possibly  know  how  important  some  radio 
show  builders  consider  letters  that  come  from  the  public 
At  best,  they're  guessing  when  they  put  on  a  program, 
guessing  at  what  the  public  will  listen  to  and  dial  in 
again  at  the  same  time  next  week.  So  when  somebody 
comes  right  out  and  says  he  likes  some  particular  singer, 
that's  like  gospel  sent  down  from  Sinai. 

In  this  case,  it  got  Muriel  (  Continued  on  payc  69 '

SCOOP !

We  bring  you  the  first  story 
of  this  popular  radio  serial 


HERE'S  a  scoop!  The  real  story  of  "Betty  and  Bob"  and 
the  folks  who  make  it.  The  first  time  in  print. 
If  you're  a  dyed-in-the-wool  "Betty  and  Bob"  fan,  you've 
been  following  them  for  years.  But  have  you  ever  seen 
a  picture, of  Betty  or  of  Bob?  No.  Have  you  ever  read  a 
yarn  about  them?  No,  again.  Do  you  know  the  identity  of  the 
folks  who  play  in  this  immensely  popular  serial?  Well,  you 
may  have  your  guesses,  but  that's  all  they  are. 

That  is  because  the  directors  of  "Betty  and  Bob"  believe  in 
hiding  their  light  under  a  bushel.  Not  a  line  of  information 
about  the  people  who  make  "Betty  and  Bob"  has  ever  been  sent 
out.  Nor  will  the  sponsor  let  any  broadcasting  company  pub- 
licity department  answer  any  questions  about  the  sketch.  They 
say  the  microphone  can  do  the  job  alone — they  don't  need  any 
pictures  or  print. 

They've  broken  a  lot  of  rules  for  radio  success,  and  still 
succeeded.  They've  shown  that  you  don't  have  to  have  Broad- 
way big  shots  or  ballyhoo  to  click.  You  can  get  along  without 
Hollywood  stars  and  stunts  and  still  make  a  hit.  You  can  do 
without  an  evening  hour  and  still  have  an  audience  that  would 
be  the  envy  of  most  night-time  shows.  Faithful  followers,  they 
have  demonstrated,  may  be  amassed  in  enormous  numbers  with- 
out fanfare. 

But  thousands  of  listeners  want  to  know  something  about  the 
actors  who  appear  in  "Betty  and  Bob."  We  went  around  to 
see  the  gentlemen  who  produce  the  show.  "Won't  you  let  us 
write  the  story?"  we  asked. 

They  were  polite,  but  the  answer  was  a  firm  "No." 

"It  would  destroy  the  illusion  of  'Betty  and  Bob'  as  it  exists 
in  the  minds  of  millions  of  listeners,"  they  explained.  "Once 
they  get  acquainted  with  the  actors,  the  radio  characters  will 
never  seem  quite  the  same  as  they  did  before." 

Now  answer  frankly:  When  you  first  learned  that  Amos 
Jones  and  Andy  Brown  weren't  played  (Continued  on  page  58)

IY,  suave  Kenny  Sargent,  who  puts  those  falsetto

!  was  then  just  a  sweet  second  sax  in  a  second-rate 
id.  And  an  out-of-town  throb  for  the  local  belles. 
Her  name  was  Dot.  And  not  only  was  she  star 
fhier  for  the  hotel  where  Kenny  was  playing,  but  she

Vnd  Kenny  Sargent  wasn't  good.  Not  at  first.

^ert  was  the  drawl  in  answer  thereto:  "What  do  you

blossoms.  Dot.  he  would  have  her  know,  had  beauty  and 
brains.  And  furthermore,  far,  far  more  exquisite  was 
she  than  the  clean  clear  loveliness  of  dawn  and  rainwater! 

But  such  idyllic  phrases  pay  no  bills.  And  small-town 
bandsters  go  famously  underpaid.  So  with  the  advent  of 
Hatch  of  Bills  Number  One,  Kenny's  bride  had  some 
thinking  to  do.  She  could  have  taken  her  pick  of  the 
richest  swains  in  Tennessee,  but  she  had  chosen  ro- 
mance instead  of  ready  money.  And  now  it  looked  as  if  it 
would  be  a  good  idea  to  do  something  about  turning 
Kenny's  career  into  a  paying  proposition. 

I  think  she  realized  then  that  he  had  the  makings  of 
a  big-time  vocalist.  But  first  he  must  overcome  his  ex- 
cessive shyness.  Secondly,  he  needed  the  proper  home 
life  and  incentive  to  make  the  fight  for  fame  easier.  And 
thirdly,  he  had  to  learn  to  take  chances.  Chances  are 
easier  to  take  with  somebody  else  to  share  them.  And  Dot 
determined  to  give  him  those  other  essentials. 

Blue  Steele's  famous  orchestra  came  to  Nashville 
about  that  time  to  play  an  engagement  at  the  I'eabodv 
Hotel.  And  after  Dot  had  done  -  little  homework.  Blue 
Steele's  famous  orchestra  left  Nashville — with  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Kenny  Sargent  in  tow — Kenny  occupying  the  en- 
viable position  of  vocalist.  Remember,  about  six  yean 
ago,  that  moonlight-and-roses  record  of  "Girl  (  >f  My

A 


tice 


BY  MARY  JACOBS 


T  last  their  great  moment  had  arrived !  Grace 
Bradt,  Eddie  Alhert,  and  Herbert  N.— "That  Ter- 
rific Trio,"  as  they  modestly  termed  themselves, 
were  actually  going  on  the  air.  For  fifteen  min- 
utes! It  had  been  worth  the  night  after  night  prac- 
in  the  hottest  place  in  the  world,  the  boiler 
room  of  the  Paramount  Theatre  in  Minneapolis,  where 
Eddie  reigned  as  assistant  manager.  It  had  been  worth 
pounding  on  the  wheezy  old  asthmatic  piano,  after  Grace 
sold  millinery  all  day  long.  They  were  on  the  air !  Thou- 
sands would  hear  them.  They'd  make  good,  of  course 
they  would!    They'd  be  big-shot  radio  stars! 

So  they  went  to  the  studio.  Dark,  handsome  Herbert 
chewing  nervously  at  the  end  of  his  cigar ;  slender,  pretty 
Grace  with  her  face  rosy  and  hot.  And  blonde,  grinning, 
devil-may-care  Eddie  Albert,  with  that  strained  look 
around  the  eyes.  All  of  them  saying:  "Oh,  we'll  be  ter- 
rific, we'll  slay  them!  We'd  better  order  our  Rolls  Royce 
now!  This  radio  racket,  why  it's  nothing  at  all!  We're 
fine!  We'll  get  over  swell!" 

"We  had  no  idea  of  timing  numbers,"  Grace  told  me. 
"We  had  prepared  three  numbers,  and  we  sang  them. 
Then  it  seemed  there  still  was  part  of  our  fifteen  min- 
utes left.  Some  man  in  the  studio  played  a  victrola  rec- 
ord. Still  there  seemed  to  be  more  time.  'You've  got  to 
sing  another  number,'  the  announcer  whispered  to  us." 

So  what  do  you  think  they  did?  They  sang  their  first 
number  over  again ! 

They  didn't  get  the  job. 

That's  how  Grace  and  Eddie  Albert,  The  Honeymoon- 
ers,  whose  gay  banter  and  sweet  songs  delight  you  four 
mornings  a  week,  began  on  the  air.  But  don't  dare  to 
think  they  were. daunted  by  their  failure !  Had  they  been, 
they  never  would  be  where  they  are  today.  Grace  would 
be  married  to  Herbert,  and  Eddie  would  be  managing 
a  theatre  at  forty  dollars  a  week. 

Now,  although  Grace  and  Eddie  plan  matrimony  today, 
at  that  time  neither  was  interested  in  the  other.  Grace 
had  an  understanding  with  Herbert,  and  Eddie  was  in 
love  with  a  girl  named  Rose. 

How  did  "That  Terrific  Trio"  get  together?  Grace 
came  home  from  college  with  a  prize  for  singing.  Her- 
bert, just  out  of  college,  hadn't  been  able  to  find  a  job. 

"Let's  try  to  organize  an  act.  Maybe  we  can  get  sing- 
ing jobs  on  the  stage  and  in  radio,"  Grace  suggested. 

But  wherever  they  went  everyone  told  them  that  they 
44

couldn't  use  a  duet.  Trios  were  all  the 
rage  four  years  ago.  So  Herbert  got  in 
touch  with  Eddie  and  the  trio  was  born. 
Within  a  month  after  their  fiasco,  back 
they  came  for  another  chance.  This  time 
they  made  the  grade  on  a  flour  program 
in  Minneapolis.  When  they  actually 
managed  to  draw  pay,  they  felt  they  were 
wasting  their  talents  there.  So  they  got 
Papa  Bradt,  who  was  in  the  automobile 
business,  to  give  them  a  second-hand 
Ford.  Then  they  pocketed  a  week's  pay, 
forty-five  dollars,  and  started  out  on  the 
road  to  auditions,  heartache  and  fame. 

To  St.  Louis,  to  Nashville,  to  Louis- 
ville, they  rode  in  their  chariot,  stopping 
at  each  city  for  an  audition.  To  Cincin- 
nati they  finally  came.  And  there  they 
were  offered  one  hundred  and  fifty  dol- 
lars a  week  for  their  trio. 

For  almost  two  years  they  stayed  on 
there,  on  fifty  dollars  a  week  apiece.  And 
then  Eddie  and  Herb  started  to  quarrel. 
Herb,  stolid,  respectable,  couldn't  stand 
the  light-hearted,  gay,  irresponsible  Eddie. 
Besides,  Herb  had  tired  of  their  nomad 
existence.  He  wanted  to  marry  Grace 
right  away  and  settle  down.  And  he  want- 
ed to  go  into  the  business  side  of  radio. 

Eddie  preferred  to  keep  on  singing.  In 
fact,  he  considered  going  out  solo,  on  his 
own.  And  poor  Grace  didn't  know  what 
to  do.  Her  duty  lay  with  her  sweetheart, 
Herb — but  she  wanted  to  develop  as  an 
artist,  too. 

One  day  things  came  to  a  head.  "I 
was  terribly  cross  that  morning,"  Eddie  confessed,  "just 
aching  for  a  fight.    I  had  received  a  letter  from  my  girl 
back  home,  saying  she  had  tired  of  an  absentee  sweet- 
heart, and  was  going  to  marry  someone  else." 

"I'm  getting  out  of  here,"  Herb  said.  "I'm  sick  of  this 
trio  business.  I  want  a  steady  job,  one  that  has  roots. 
Gracie,  are  you  coming  with  me?" 

Grace  looked  at  Herb.  He  was  strutting  up  and  down 
like  a  big  business  executive,  a  fat  cigar  in  his  mouth. 
Suddenly  something  caught  at  Gracie's  throat.    Was  this

the  man  she'd  promised  to  marry?  She  had  a  vision  of 
what  her  life  would  be  like,  married  to  Herb — safe,  se- 
cure, eminently  respectable,  but  oh,  so  dull !  And  ahead 
of  her  lay  an  enchanting  vista  of  adventure.  Her  eyes 
turned  from  Herbert  to  Eddie. 

"I'm  going  to  New  York."  said  Eddie.  "Is  it  goodbye, 
then,  to  both  of  you?" 

"You  know,"  Grace  said,  "isn't  it  strange?  I  want  to 
go  to  New  York,  too!" 

^"Perhaps  you'd  like  to  come  with  me?"  Eddie  asked. 


And  that  settled  it.  With  one  hundred  dollars  in  their 
pockets  they  set  out  for  New  York.  Now  they  would 
storm  radio  big  time. 

When  they  arrived  in  New  York  they  had  just  four 
dollars  left  and  didn't  know  a  soul.  They  went  to  look 
for  two  single  rooms,  near  each  other  so  that  they  could 
practice.  Finally  they  got  rooms  above  an  Italian  speak- 
easy-restaurant on  Forty-eighth  Street,  five  flights  up. 
Then  they  found  out  what  thousands  have  discovered 
before  them.    That  New  York.  ( Continued  on  page  101)

OF  A  CROONER'S  "WIFE 


M 


\ 


IN  THE  PRECEDING  ISSUE  the  poignant  ,tory  of  Hal  Robey  and  Molly  Shannon  began.  It  began 
when  they  met  at  the  broadcatting  ttudio— fell  in  love  and  were  married.  Hal  suggested  keeping  their 
marriage  a  secret  fearing  that  hit  newly-established  career  at  a  popular  crooner  might  be  jeapodized 
Molly  perceived  difficulties  but  her  love  for  Hal  made  her  agree.  But  after  the  birth  and  tragic  death  of 
their  baby  Hal  acknowledged  hit  wife — too  late  to  tave  their  happinett,  that  now  wat  thadowed  by  regret 
and  mitery.  When  Hal  had  to  leave  New  York  to  broadcast  from  a  midwettern  ttudio.  Molly  agreed  to 
join  him  when  he  could  find  an  apartment. 

"I'll  make  it  up  to  you,  Sweetheart,"  Hal  promited.     "Maybe  we  can  make  a  freth  ttart." 
"You  can't  give  me  anything  I  want  now,"  Molly  taid  tadly.    "You  can't  turn  back  the  clockl" 
All  the  could  tee  ahead  wat  a  long,  lonely  road.    If  only  they  could  have  known  what  new,  ttrange, 
frightening  fate  wat  walking  toward  them  down  that  road— with  only  a  choice  between  two  tragedietl 


THREE  weeks  later  I  joined  Hal  in 
Lake  City.  He'd  found  time  to  choose 
a  home  for  us — a  penthouse  in  a  big 
apartment  hotel,  overlooking  the  lake. 
It  was  a  beautiful  duplex,  exquisitely 
furnished  and  equipped.  It  was  everything 
but  a  home ! 

Yet,  as  he  showed  it  to  me  with  such  boy- 
ish pride,  I  hated  myself  for  thinking  that. 
It  was  the  only  sensible  way  for  us  to  live. 
Everything  already  was  running  like  clock- 
work, including  Hal's  busy,  hectic  life. 

Facing  him  at  dinner  that  night  over  flow- 
ers he  hadn't  even  chosen — the  hotel  florist 
had  carte-blanche — I  wondered  where  I  was 
going  to  fit  into  that  life.  It  was  so  in- 
credibly remote  from  anything  that  we  had 
known  together — from  anything  I  had  imag- 
ined. And  though  he  was  sweet  and  gay 
and  tender  as  the  boy-lover  I  remembered, 
he  wasn't  that  boy  any  more.  He  was  Hal 
Robey,  radio  star!  And  I  was  still  Molly 
Shannon.  .  .  . 

We  had  come  a  long  way  since  I  used  to 
cook  dinner  for  him  in  his  shabby  little  flat. 
Since  I  had  looked  after  his  socks  and 
counted  his  laundry  and  pressed  his  evening 
clothes.  .  .  . 

I  told  him  so,  unsteadily,  slipping  my  hand 
into  his. 

"And  we're  going  a  lot  farther !"  he  prom- 
ised me.  "Molly,  the  breaks  are  all  with  us. 
sweet.  Just  watch  me,  from  now  on!"  He 
squeezed  my  hand.  "I've  played  my  cards 
pretty  well.  Not  only  at  the  studio.  I've 
46 


been  meeting  a  lot  of  important  people- 
society  people."    He  chuckled.    "How  will 
you  like  playing  around  with  the  Gold 
Coast  crowd,  Mrs.  Robey?" 

He  didn't  want  to  turn  back  the  clock, 
I   told  myself — want   to   recapture  the 
sweetness  of  those  early  days  of  our  love. 
His  eyes  were  fixed  on  a  glittering  goal. 
I  had  no  right  to  try  to  swerve  him 
from  it.    I  already  had  risked  our  hap- 
piness.   Now  I  must  try  to  salvage 
what  was  left;  to  make  myself  into  the 
sort  of  wife  Hal  wanted. 

But  I  still  tired  easily.    Though  I 
did  try,  it  was  an  effort  to  brace 
myself  to  meet  new  people,  to  pre- 
tend a  gaiety  and  zest  that  I  didn't 
feel.     Perhaps,  during  those  first 
months  of  adjustment,  if  Hal  and 
I  ever  had  had  any  privacy.  .  .  . 

But  we  didn't.   He  was  working 
terribly  hard  at  the  studio,  with 
two  broadcasts  a  week,  and  end- 
less rehearsals.    And  his  orches- 
tra was  a  nightly  attraction  at 
the  Sky  Club,  as  well.  But  even 
so,  we  might  have  had  a  few 
stolen  hours  all  our  own  if  he 
hadn't  been  in  such  demand 
socially. 

It  was  all  good  publicity, 
he  and  his  manager  both  ex- 
plained.   He  couldn't  afford 
to    turn    down  invitations 
from  rich,  important  people

who  wanted  to  lionize  him.  And 
he  never  did.    I  realized,  from  the 
first,  that  he  was  badly  bitten  by 
the  social  bug.    He  adored  being 
snapped  with  Mrs.' Hank  Levitt  and 
her   beautiful    stepdaughter   at  the 
Charity  Ball.    He  was  terribly  anx- 
ious for  me  to  make  the  right  im- 
pression on  that  rich  crowd. 
And  I  realized,  too,  that  it  was  part 
of  my  job  to  share  his  social  success, 
to  play  the  role  of  Hal  Robey's  charm- 
ing young  wife.    I  had  to  go  to  his 
broadcasts,  meet  his  friends,  his  spon- 
sors.   And  not  only  for  publicity  pur- 
poses, either.  .  .  . 

Hal's  irresistible  charm   for  women  01 
every  age  made  him  fair  game.  Women 
and  girls  pursued  him,  and  he  wasn't  ob- 
livious to  their  adulation.    I  learned  that 
soon  enough.    I  don't  blame  him  for  some 
of  the  foolish  things  he  did  that  first  winter 
in  Lake  City.    He  was  only  human.  And 
while  I  think  he  still  cared  for  me.  something 
precious  and  irreplaceable  had  gone  out  of  our 
relationship.    Naturally  he  resented  my  emo- 
tional apathy  towards  him.  when  every  other 
woman  was  ready  to  fall  in  his  arms ! 
But  I  didn't  realize  how  far  we  were  drifting 
apart  until  the  afternoon  Arthur  Balcom  came 
to  see  me.    He  had  been  a  real  friend  to  us, 
besides  being  Hal's  sponsor  on  the  Milk  o  Roses 
hour. 

I  liked  him.  And  I  was  more  myself,  more  at 
ease  with  him  than  with  any  of  Hal's  society  or 
radio  friends.  Arthur  was  a  big,  quiet,  unpreten- 
tious sort  of  chap,  with  a  delightful  smile  and 
young  blue  eyes  that  belied  the  grey  in  his  hair.  And 
I  knew  that  he  liked  me.  Not  as  Hal  Rol>ev's  wife, 
but  as  a  person.

HE  might  have  been  your  favorite  singer,  or  a  prominen 
banker  in  your  home  town.  ...  If  he  hadn't  been  serioush 
injured  in  a  football  game,  he  might  have  been  the  grid 
iron  hero  of  a  great  University.  But  Fate  had  other  plan: 
for  Harry  Von  Zell.  And  so  today  he  is  at  the  top  o: 
radio,  and  possibly  your  favorite  announcer. 

Watching  him  during  a  rehearsal  at  the  Columbia  Play 
house  you  might  imagine  that  he  always  was  the  star  In

fought  his  way  up.  Courage  was  his  only  weapon  agains 
failure.  He  had  to  win — and  he  did. 

Harry  was  born  in  an  obscure  rural  community  it 
Indiana.  Almost  as  soon  as  he  could  walk  he  learned  t< 
follow  his  dad  behind  the  plow.  Like  most  country  boy 
he  attended  a  tiny  one-room  schoolhouse.  He  raked  ha; 
in  scorching  August  heat,  shoveled  his  way  across  snow 
piled  fields  to  school  in  winter.   But  he  was  ambitious 

He  was  an  honor  student  when  he  graduated  fron 
Sioux  City,  Iowa's,  only  High  School.  He  had  earn© 
his  education  by  working  long  hours  at  night  as  jack-of 
all-trades  in  a  dry  goods  store.  As  a  delivery  boy,  carry 
ing  huge  sacks  in  a  grain  mill,  and  by  heaving  tons  o 
coal  into  the  High  School  furnace,  he  had  saved  sufficien 
funds  to  enroll  in  the  University  of  Southern  California

already  opened  bulk  materials.  Gladly,  thankfully,  he  ac- 
cepted and  rushed  off  to  make  a  ten  o'clock  class,  two 
miles  away. 

Even  before  five  o'clock  Harry  returned.  His  first  day's 
chores  kept  him  busy  until  after  three  o'clock  the  next 
morning.  He  slept  in  the  store,  lived  on  dried  fish,  prunes, 
and  loose,  broken  crackers.  He  studied  hard.  He  arranged 
his  schedule  so  that  there  would  be  time  to  try  out  for 
the  Freshman  team. 

And  it  was  football  that  nearly  ruined  his  life.  It  did 
bring  to  an  abrupt  end  the  college  career  he  had  worked 
so  hard  to  get.  "I  worked  all  night  and  attended  classes 
all  day,"  he  told  me.  "I  guess  my  resistance  got  pretty 
low.  I  know  my  nerves  soon  were  shot.  I  guess  maybe 
I  just  couldn't  take  it." 

Anyone  but  Harry  would  have  realized  that  he  was 
overdoing.  But  there  was  no  one  there  to  warn  him — no 
one  to  stop  him,  except  Fate.  And  when  they  carried 
his  limp,  broken  body  from  the  field,  to  the  victim  alone 
it  was  a  surprise. 

To  the  kind  German  in  the  little  store,  who  for  months 
had  watched  his  young  helper  fighting  life  alone,  it  was 
something  he  had  long  expected — and  feared.

GREETINGS,  friends  and  Ra- 
dio Fans : 
One  night,  on  the  famous  stair- 
case of  the  Metropolitan  Opera 
House  in  New  York,  a  friend 
nudged  me  and  said :  "Look,  there's 
Gladys  Swarthout !" 

"Where?"  I  asked  eagerly,  looking 
over  the  throng  of  beautifully  gowned 
women,  trying  in  vain  to  see  some- 
one who,  I  thought,  resembled  an 
opera  singer. 

"There!  Over  there,  stupid,"  my 
friend  whispered  frantically.  Then, 
forgetting  her  manners  and  the  ele- 
gance of  our  surroundings,  she 
pointed  to  a  group  of  men  surround- 
ing and  almost  completely  hiding,  a 
petite,  becomingly  attired  young  per- 
son with  black  hair,  flashing  black 
eyes  and  the  most  delightful  figure. 
No  buxom  prima  donna  was  this  star 
of  the  operatic  stage  and  the  air 
waves  but  a  young  lady  I  had  mis- 
taken for  a  society  debutante !  No 
wonder  the  movies  plan  to  star  her, 
too,  and  in  the  very  near  future !

" Well,  if  that's  Gladys  Swarthout," 
I  said,  after  looking  long  and  en- 
viously, "it  just  isn't  fair  that  any 
one  person  should  have  that  lovely 
voice  and  be  so  beautiful  in  the 
bargain." 

"And  wait  till  you  meet  her !"  re- 
plied my  friend,  enthusiastically. 
"Then  you'll  discover  that  not  only 
is  she  lovely  to  look  at  and  to  listen 
to,  but  she  also  is  a  gracious  hostess 
and  a  devoted  wife." 

Well,  Radio  Fans,  what  would  you 
do  if  you  heard  anyone  described  in 
such  glowing  terms?  In  the  first 
place  you  wouldn't  believe  a  word  of 
it  (I  know  I  didn't)  and  in  the  sec- 
ond place  you'd  make  up  your  mind 
that  you'd  jolly  well  meet  this  para- 
gon of  virtues.  "No  one  person," 
you'd  think,  "could  combine  all  those 
qualities." 

Maybe  not,  as  a  general  rule,  but 
I'm  here  to  tell  you  that  Gladys 
Swarthout  does ! 

It  is  my  duty,  however  (and  a  very 
pleasant  one  it  is),  as  head  of  Radio 


Stars  Cooking  School  to  describ 
Gladys  to  you  principally  in  the  bt 
coming  role  of  hostess.  And  as  th 
very  first  step  let's  supply  a  fram 
for  her  portrait  by  describing  he 
charming  home. 

The  apartment  house  in  whic 
Miss  Swarthout  lives  is  over  in  th 
fashionable  East  End  Avenue  dis 
trict  of  New  York — a  section  mad 
popular  by  its  proximity  to  the  Eas 
River,  with  its  swiftly  flowing  cur

Both  in  the  enjoyment  of  smoking  and 
in  its  effect,  Camels  certainly  make  a 
great  difference,"  she  says.  "Their  flavor 
is  so  smooth  and  mild  that  you  enjoy  the 
last  one  as  much  as  the  first.  And  I  notice 
that  Camels  never  affect  my  nerves.  In 
act,  when  Pin  a  hit  tired  from  a  round  of 
gaieties,  I  find  that  smoking  a  Camel  really 
rests  me  and  gives  me  a  new  sense  of

i  nm  BLino! 


But  I've  discovered  what  I  was  too 
blind  to  notice  when  I  could  see! 


I  AM  blind.  But  please  don't  pity  me.  Not  when  I 
have  a  faithful  friend  in  the  radio,  to  make  up  for  every 
activity  and  pleasure  which  I  ordinarily  would  miss. 

Three  years  ago  I  never  would  have  said  that.  Three 
years  ago  I  was  without  a  doubt  the  most  tragic,  the  lone- 
liest and  the  most  despairing  person  on  earth.  For  it  was 
exactly  three  years  ago  that  I  became  blind. 

I  was  a  young  girl,  only  twenty-one,  when  the  terrible 
accident  occurred.  A  fall  from  a  horse,  a  blow  between 
the  eyes  which  injured  the  optic  nerve  forever,  and  the 
next  thing  I  knew  I  was  lying  in  a  hospital  bed  staring 
straight  ahead  into  nothingness. 

To  me  it  was  a  cruel  cross  to  bear.  I  had  always  been 
so  active.  I  had  loved  life  so — now  I  wanted  to  die. 
I  always  had  so  much  fun  and  excitement  crammed  in 
my  life.   Now  I  had  nothing — nothing ! 

Of  course  there  were  my  friends.  They  all  descended 
at  once  to  pay  me  a  visit.  It  should  have  been  delightful, 
instead  it  proved  to  be  a  nightmare.  They  all  stam- 
mered and  groped  for  the  right  thing  to  say.  They  were 
so  careful.  They  tried  so  hard  to  be  kind  and  tactful  and 
sympathetic. 

Even  my  best  friend,  Ginny :  Before  this,  when  we  met, 
we  would  argue  and  quarrel  and  scrap  as  only  two  friends 
can.     Now  she  held  my  hand,  spoke  tenderly,  sweet, 
cheerful  things.    She  wasn't  the  old,  boisterous  Ginny.

The  afternoon  dragged  on  uncomfortably,  and  whe 
they  left  there  was  relief  on  both  sides.  But  when 
heard  them  laughing  and  talking  outside,  I  felt  so  sh 
out,  so  terribly  lonely.  .  .  . 

And  when  I  got  home,  it  was  the  same  with  my  famil) 
All  of  those  little  things  which  I  had  taken  for  grante 
when  I  could  see,  now  assumed  such  important  propo 
tions.  There  was  my  Tuesday  night  Bridge  Club.  Th 
was  always  such  fun.  And  now — well,  Bridge  was  ou 
of  the  question.  When  Tuesday  evening  came,  I  woul

My  family  was  desperately  worried.  Then  Dad  bough

PIED  PIPER, 
1935  STOLE 

Professors  are  trying  to 
discover  his  secret  spell 


(y  All  children  know  Uncle  Don! 


ONE  of  the  wonders  of  radio  is  Uncle  Don. 

Don't  you  know  Uncle  Don?  Then  ask  your 
little  son  or  daughter,  or  your  niece,  or  your  neigh- 
bor's child,  or  the  little  boy  who  runs  your  errands. 
They  know  Uncle  Don!  Over  a  million  and  a  half 
adoring  youngsters  are  members  of  Uncle  Don's 
Radio  Club,  conducted  every  night  at  six.  Uncle 
Don  has  been  on  the  air  longer  and  more  often  than 
any  other  radio  personality  in  the  country.  Now 
he's  starting  his  seventh  year  on  the  air,  appearing 
on  ten  half -hour  programs  a  week. 

The  funny  part  of  it  is  that  about  seven  years  ago 
Uncle  Don  was  actually  afraid  of  chil- 
dren. He  was  playing  in  vaudeville.  Not 
as  Uncle  Don,  and  not  for  children.  He 
was  Don  Carney  (his  real  name)  and 
his  act  was  a  pianologue  comprising 
sophisticated  songs  and  subtle  humor. 
Strictly  adult  fare. 

He  was  a  hit  and  as  a  rule  would 
pack  the  house,  but  Saturday  matinees  were  a 
nightmare.  A  Saturday  afternoon,  as  any  good 
vaudevillian  will  tell  you,  is  children's  day  at 
the  theater.  Well,  when  Don  Carney  sat  down  at 
the  piano  and  started  to  play,  the  kids  would  get  rest- 
less and  fidgety  and  start  crying  and  whining.  And 
to  Don  Carney  up  there  on  the  stage  earning  his 
living,  those  inattentive  children  presented  his  big- 
gest problem.  With  the  decline  of  vaudeville,  Don 
turned  to  radio  and  had  got  a  few  odd  jobs  in  airwave 
shows.  He  happened  to  be  around  the  WOR  studios 
one  afternoon  when  there  was  a  hurry  call  for  an 
audition  for  a  manufacturer  of  toy  dogs.  In  those 
early  days  of  radio  last-minute  auditions  were  not 
rare.  The  manager  saw  Don,  and  that's  how  he 
chanced  to  be  assigned  to  get  up  a  kiddie  program 
immediately  for  the  audition. 

Without  any  script  whatsoever,  he  sat  before  the 
microphone  and  told  a  story  about  a  little  toy  dog 
who  had  walked  out  of  the  toy  factory  and  had  got 
lost.  And  on  and  on  went  the  fantastic  adventures. 


By  MARY 
MORGAN 


From  that  time  Don  Carney  became  Uncle  Don. 
He  walked  home  with  a  contract  which  called  for 
him  to  appear  on  the  air  three  times  a  week.  But 
instead  of  being  happy  over  this,  he  was  worried. 

"I've  got  myself  into  a  pretty  pickle,"  he  told  his 
wife  that  night.  "How  am  I  going  to  keep  this  up? 
I  know  nothing  about  children !" 

He  sat  up  all  night  writing  more  adventures  of 
the  toy  dog.  But  soon,  like  a  modern  Pied  Piper, 
he  cast  a  spell  over  the  children.  His  six  o'clock 
broadcasts  had  become  a  ritual  with  his  young  lis- 
teners. Letters  by  the  hundreds  came  to  him  daily, 
written  in  a  childish  scrawl.  Mothers 
wrote  to  him.  He  didn't  have  to  worry 
any  more  about  his  script.  Today  he 
doesn't  use  a  line  of  prepared  copy, 
the  entire  broadcast  being  impromptu 
and  informal. 

His  success  in  captivating  the  minds 
of  children  in  a  wholesome,  construc- 
tive way  has  been  so  sensational  that  recently  a  class 
in  Yale  devoted  a  whole  afternoon  to  trying  to  find 
out  the  secret  of  Uncle  Don's  child  psychology.  And 
this  past  summer  the  officials  of  Columbia  University 
asked  to  be  allowed  to  photograph  his  voice  to  see 
what  magic  something  there  was  in  it  that  fascinated 
the  youngsters ! 

He  accomplishes  almost  amazing  results  with  his 
adoring  devotees.  Where  mother  and  father  and 
teacher  have  failed  to  break  Johnny  of  a  bad  habit, 
Uncle  Don  will  succeed.  Mother  will  write  in  to  Uncle 
Don  that  Johnny,  for  instance,  bites  his  nails.  Will 
he  please  reprimand  Johnny  for  it  on  the  air? 

But,  Uncle  Don  doesn't  reprimand  Johnny.  It 
would  be  humiliating  to  Johnny  to  criticize  him  pub- 
licly as  a  nail-biter,  and  besides,  children  resent 
scoldings.  Uncle  Don,  instead,  talks  in  heart-to-heart 
fashion  with  Johnny,  as  though  Johnny  were  a  grown 
man.  Then,  a  few  months  later,  he'll  come  back  to 
him  in  a  personal,  reminiscent  sort  of  way:  "Say, 
Johnny,  remember  the  time   (Continued  on  page  72)

by  colored  boys  did  that  make  you  ap- 
preciate them  the  less?  We'll  bet  it  didn't. 
In  fact,  all  of  the  stories  about  Charlie 
Correll  and  Freeman  Gosden,  their  views, 
their  way  of  life,  their  habits,  their  pic- 
tures all  have  helped  to  make  Amos  'n' 
Andy  more  popular,  we  believe. 

And  that's  the  way  we  feel  about 
"Betty  and  Bob."  If  you  like  the  pro- 
gram now,  you'll  enjoy  it  even  more,  once 
you've  peeped  into  the  studio  and  had  a 
closeup  view  of  the  actors  who  made  the 
show. 

To  start  with,  the  "Betty  and  Bob"  pic- 
ture, as  portrayed  by  microphone  magic,  is 
pretty  nearly  perfectly  framed  by  its 
theme  song — the  simple  blending  of  the 
strains  of  "I  Love  You  Truly"  and  Men- 
delssohn's lovely  "Wedding  March."  For 
"Betty  and  Bob"  seeks  to  be  in  a  measure 
the  fulfillment  of  what  every  woman,  per- 
haps every  man,  desires.  It's  a  story  of 
life  as  you  would  like  to  have  it.  Real 
romance — the  land  of  make-believe,  where 
dreams  come  true. 

In  "Betty  and  Bob"  Betty,  a  stenogra- 
pher, marries  her  boss,  a  wealthy  young 
engineer  who  finds  himself  promptly  dis- 
owned by  his  wealthy,  autocratic,  domineer- 
ing and  thoroughly  unsympathetic  papa. 
Even  today,  years  after  the  marriage,  this 
tyrant  is  determined  to  crush  the  spirit  of 
his  son  and  break  up  his  happy  and  suc- 
cessful marriage. 

This  Cinderella  theme  is  a  favorite  of 
Bob  Andrews,  who  writes  the  show. 

No  inside  story  about  "Betty  and  Bob" 
would  be  complete  without  something  about 
Bob  Andrews.  You've  probably  never 
heard  about  him  before,  but  he's  just 
about  the  busiest  man  in  radio — and  one 
of  the  best  paid. 

He  turns  out  a  "Betty  and  Bob"  episode 
every  day.  Plenty  of  radio  writers  would 
call  that  a  fair-sized  job.  But  in  addition 
he  writes  alone  all  the  episodes  of  "The 
Romance  of  Helen  Trent,"  "Judy  and 
Jane,"  "Just  Plain  Bill."  "Skippy"  and 
others — thirty-five  installments  a  week  all 
told,  five  episodes  every  day,  even  if  he 
works  Saturdays  and  Sundays ! 

Born  in  the  Ozarks,  Andrews  has  roamed 
all  over  the  face  of  the  earth,  though  he  is 
only  about  thirty  now.  A  veteran  reporter, 
he  know-s  the  stark  realities,  the  harshness, 
the  bitterness  of  life.  Thus,  when  he 
turned  to  radio  writing,  he  decided  to  write 
about  life  as  people  would  like  to  see  it 
lived.  His  radio  shows,  like  his  two 
novels  which  were  made  into  successful 
pictures.  "Three  Girls  Lost"  and  "If  I  Had 
A  Million,"  reflect  an  escape  from  things 
as  they  are. 

In  Betty  every  woman,  and  particularly 
every  housewife,  (the  sponsor  sells  flour 
and  cereals)  may  see  in  some  measure  a 
romantic  reflection  of  herself. 

"Betty  and  Bob"  tells  the  story  of  a 
typical  young  couple.  Ambitious  though 
Bob  is,  he  slips,  fumbles,  flounders.  And 
always  Betty's  intuition,  feminine  sagacity 
and  innate  charm  save  him  from  himself 
and  set  him  back  on  solid  footing.  Betty, 
like  every  wife,  knows  that  Bob  wouldn't 
get  far  without  her.     Perhaps  many  a 


woman  who  follows  "Betty  and  Bob"  oftc 
feels  that  it  is  all  but  hopeless  to  get  h< 
husband  to  see  that.  But  it's  a  comfo 
to  her  to  get  that  assurance  from  the  radi 1 

If  you're  a  keen  detective  you  may  ha' 
discovered  that  the  voice  of  Bob  seems  I 
be  the  same  as  the  voice  portraying  the  M 
mantic  leads  in  NBC's  "First  Nightei 
and  "Grand  Hotel."  It  is — and  that  voii 
belongs  to  Don  Ameche,  that  handsoni 
Don  Juan  of  radio,  last  year  revealed  ; 
the  most  popular  of  all  male  dramatic  star 

And  isn't  Don  Ameche  the  kind  of 
person  you  would  imagine  Bob  to  be?  . 
tall,  good-looking,  ambitious  chap,  full  ( 
fire,  enthusiasm  and  the  zest  of  living. 

There's  a  bit  of  a  parallel,  too,  betwee 
his  real  life  and  the  events  in  "Betty  an 
Bob."  Don  was  married  just  about  tr 
time  he  went  on  the  air  as  Bob  Drake,  an 
his  own  baby,  Don  Jr.,  arrived  just  a  litt' 
ahead  of  Bob  Drake  Jr. — no,  Bob  Drak 
III,  in  the  radio  serial.  That  was  just 
sheer  coincidence,  since  Andrews  turrt 
out  the  script  in  his  New  York  penthous 
and  is  too  busy  to  follow  the  person; 
lives  of  the  actors  who  play  the  parts  h 
conceives.  But  if  you  remember  those  ep 
sodes  during  the  early  days  of  the  Drak 
infant,  you  must  recall  the  voice  of  author 
ity  that  was  Bob's  every  time  the  scrij 
got  on  to  the  subject  of  baby  tending. 

You  would  love  that  radio  baby  if  yo 
could  get  one  glimpse  of  the  child.  Sweete 
than  sweet !  Of  course,  it's  a  boy,  so  fa 
as  "Betty  and  Bob"  are  concerned.  Bt 
in  the  studio,  it's  a  girl !  Her  name  i 
Loretta  Poynton — and  here's  a  surprise 
She's  nineteen  years  old!  Has  blue  eye 
and  brown  hair — a  willowy  girl  weighin. 
ninety-eight  pounds !  She  can  coo  at» 
cry  and  laugh  more  like  a  real  baby  thaJ 
any  youngster  you've  ever  seen. 

Loretta  came  from  the  stage.  She  playe- 
leading  parts  in  "On  the  Make"  and  "Skid 
ding"  on  Broadway.  She  left  the  foot 
lights  because  of  the  serious  illness  of  he 
mother  and  returned  to  her  home  in  Bev 
erly  Hills,  Chicago  suburb.  Tuning  in  th 
radio  one  day  she  decided  that  she  couli 
do  as  well  as  the  person  to  whom  she  wa 
listening — and  got  herself  an  audition  b; 
simply  calling  NBC  and  exhibiting  considi 
erable  persistence. 

Loretta  also  plays  in  Tony  Wons'  "HousJ 
by  the  Side  of  the  Road."  In  fact  she': 
been  busy  ever  since  she  landed  at  NBC 
lately  playing  the  parts  of  both  babies  or 
"Betty  and  Bob".  You  remember  th« 
foundling  left  on  Betty's  and  Bob's  door- 
step not  so  long  ago  ?  She  gurgles  for  her 
too. 

That's  the  baby  the  sponsors  are  spend-l 
ing  fifteen  thousand  dollars  on,  in  one  oj 
the  biggest  radio  contests  yet.  And  all  foi 
a  name  for  the  youngster.  And  namesi 
plain  and  fancy,  have  been  rolling  in  by 
the  tens  of  thousands.  Perhaps  it  wih] 
all  be  settled  before  this  gets  into  print 

In  the  studio  Betty  is  a  slim,  trim  girl 
with  reddish  brown  hair  and  flashing 
brown  eyes.  Bob  towers  above  her — he

Gladys  Swarthout,  bright  star  of  the  musical  world,  and  her  baritone 
husband,  Frank  Chapman,  enjoy  a  summer  outing  aboard  Lawrence 
Tibbett's  yacht.  Watch  for  a  story  on  Gladys  Swarthout  in  our  July  issue. 


Bob,  are  portrayed  by  Arthur  Jacobsen 
and  Dorothy  Shideler.  When  we  last  heard 
the  show  there  were  indications  that  they 
might  be  adopting  the  baby  found  on  the 
doorstep. 

Before  turning  to  radio  Art  played  more 
than  five  hundred  roles  in  stock  and  chau- 
tauqua.  When  he  applied  at  XBC  he  had 
only  thirty-three  cents  in  his  pocket.  But 
he's  been  busy  ever  since — has  been  cast 
in  more  than  a  thousand  NBC  produc- 
tions, so  he  hasn't  had  to  worry  about 
a  meal  ticket  for  a  long  while.  Art  isn't 
thirty  years  old  but  has  already  realized 
two  major  ambitions — to  appear  on  the 
stage  with  a  spear  and  to  visit  Oshkosh, 
Wisconsin.  He's  a  good-sized  chap,  has 
brown  hair  and  eyes.  A  dialect  specialist, 
he  finds  straight  parts  the  hardest  to  do. 
He  loves  his  work — and  sailing  and  orange 
cake  and  dancing.  But  he's  never  been 
in  a  night  club. 

Formerly  a  continuity  writer,  Dorothy 
Shideler  gradually  worked  into  dramatic 
parts.  She  is  a  graduate  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Wisconsin.  Is  also  heard  in  "Ma 
Perkins"  and  "The  House  by  the  Side  of 
the  Road."  Dorothy  is  in  her  early  twen- 
ties, five  feet,  five  inches  tall.  She  is  the 
wife  of  a  Chicago  attorney  and  there  may 
be  a  baby  in  her  household  before  you  read 
this. 

Another  pair  of  seasoned  actors  are 
found  in  the  roles  of  the  senior  Drakes, 
Bob's  parents.  They  are  Carleton  Brickert, 
on  the  stage  since  David  Belasco  launched 


"The  Girl  of  the  Golden  West,"  and  Jud 
Lowry,  who  has  spent  practically  all  \ 
life  before  the  footlights. 

Brickert  was  a  famed  boy  soprano 
British  choirs  as  a  child.  He  worked  f 
Sam  Harris,  William  C.  Brady  and  A. 
Woods  and  was  the  stage  director  f 
Leonore  Ulric  in  "Kiki."  He  played 
leading  role  in  George  Kelly's  "Crai 
Wife,"  a  Pulitzer  prize  winner.  Six  fc 
two,  he's  a  great  outdoorsman  and  spen 
many  delightful  summer  days  in  his  cat 
cruiser. 

Mrs.  Lowry  played  the  part  of  t 
mother  in  Booth  Tarkington's  "Seventee 
for  three  years  and  appeared  with  Walt 
Hampden  in  "Easter."  C.  L.  Menser,  NE 
production  manager  at  Chicago,  who  h; 
taught  her  son  when  both  were  at  Km 
College,  introduced  her  to  radio.  She  is 
quiet  motherly  woman,  with  soft  brov 
eyes  and  graying  hair  and  she  is  ve 
proud  of  the  fact  that  she  recently  h. 
become  a  grandmother.  Incidentally  si 
happens  to  be  the  only  grandmother  v 
know  about  in  radio  besides  Schuman; 
Heink,  though  there  may  be  others. 

Don  Merrifield  and  Grace  Lockwoc 
play  the  parts  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hendricl 
and  Fay  Wrarren  is  Sadie  Hollister,  tij 
neighborhood  gossip. 

So  there  they  are — practically  all 
actors  in  "Betty  and  Bob."    And  now  th. 
you  have  met  the  real  people  who  portra 
your  favorites  behind  the  microphone,  yd 
ought  to  enjoy  the  program  even  more.

Tel  evision  is 
Coming— But 
When? 

(Continued  from  page  8) 


jevision  waves  travel  only  in  the  straight 
\e  of  vision,  and  no  farther  than  the 
Wetical  horizon.  For  example,  from  the 
*  of  the  Empire  State  Building  that  hori- 
h  might  be  fifty  or  sixty  miles  distant. 
|a  valley  it  might  be  no  more  than  six  or 
ien  miles.  That's  easily  understood — 
4i  can  hear  footsteps  and  voices,  for  in- 
Ince,  at  some  distance  and  around  cor- 
4s,  but  you  cannot  see  who  may  be 
Aroaching  until  they  come  into  range 
■>al  in  the  straight  line  of  vision.  Thus 
.qes,  tall  buildings,  mountains,  hills  and 
l.tps,  all  may  interrupt  the  television 
ikes.  They  cannot  flow  continuously. 
Terefore  there  must  be,  at  frequent  in- 
aals,  relaying  stations  to  catch  up  the 
wations,  magnify  them,  and  send  them 
q  again. 

It  has  been  said  that  television  experi- 
tpts  in  England  and  in  Germany  have 
qdistanced  those  of  America,  but  the 
tkh  is  that  our  laboratory  experiments 
a  equal  to  or  better  than  those  abroad, 
(r  problems  are  greater  because  of  the 
slater  size  of  our  country.  But  our  labora- 
tles  are  persistently  studying  them  and 
elloring  the  possibilities  of  television  on 
a  ation-wide  basis. 

Ti  England,  the  British  Commission 
rommended  establishing  an  experimental 
tovision  station.  The  Commission  found 
tl.:  the  area  capable  of  being  effectively 
oared  "would  not  exceed  a  radius  of 
a  roximately  twenty-five  miles  over  mod- 
e*ely  undulating  country."  For  service 
li  ted  to  one  half  the  population  of  Eng- 
irt, the  report  states,  probably  ten  trans- 
Pfing  stations  at  suitable  locations  would 
hiz  to  be  erected — at  an  estimated  cost  of 
affjt  nine  hundred  thousand  dollars  at  a 
ti  le  location.  So,  doing  a  little  simple 
anmetic,  we  might  figure  roughly  that 
tcerve  the  entire  population  of  England 
«<r|ld  involve  the  expenditure  of  around 
tvity  million  dollars! 

ow  what  would  this  imply  in  con- 
si"  -ation  of  our  own  television  problems? 
IRfen  we  realize  that  the  entire  territory 
of  Cngland  is  not  much  larger  than  that 
oKew  York  State,  we  can  measure  the 
•fnse  of  establishing  such  a  service 
thughout  the  United  States.  To  serve  the 
va  population  of  our  forty-eight  states, 
*>•;  of  them  many  times  the  size  of  Xew 
Y«ic,  would  require  the  establishment  of 
so;  thousand  or  more  relaying  stations, 
I    cost  of  around  ten  hundred  million

For  this  little  citizen  a  sombre  world  has 
suddenly  brightened. 

His  mother  has  given  him  his  first 
taste  of  Fletcher's  Castoria  —  the  chil- 
dren's laxative.  And  did  he  love  it! 


It  was

forming.  It  is  completely,  perfectly  safe. 
It  is  very  gentle — yet  very  thorough. 


That  delicious  taste  is  im  portant.  It  means 
no  more  of  the  struggles  that  a  bad- 
tasting  laxative  causes  —  that  all  too 
often  upset  a  child's  nerves,  his  diges- 
tion, his  whole  delicate  little  system. 

That's  why  even  the  taste  of  Fletcher's 
Castoria  is  made  especially  for  children! 


"Oh  boy  I" 


It  is  also  prepared  just  as  carefully  for  I 
child's  needs. 

It  contains  only  ingredients  that  are 
suitable  for  a  child — no  harsh,  purging 
drugs  that  so  many  "grown-up"  laxa- 
tives contain.  Fletcher's  Castoria  will 
never  cause  griping  pains.  It  is  not  habit-

tions.  Radio  receiving  sets  of  today  can, 
by  a  twist  of  the  dial,  tune  in  on  almost 
any  broadcasting  station  anywhere.  But  a 
television  receiving  set  must  be  an  integral 
part  of  the  sending  set.  That  is,  if  your 
set  is  adjusted  to  WOR  in  New  Jersey, 
you  can't  tune  in  to  WLW  in  Cincinnati. 
Must  we  have  a  different  receiving  set  for 
every  station?  Even  one  such  television 
receiving  set,  according  to  such  figures  as 
are  now  available,  would  cost  in  the  vicinity 
of  three  or  four  hundred  dollars. 

But  again  don't  worry.  The  broadcasting 
companies  are  as  anxious  to  give  us  tele- 
vision as  we  are  to  have  it.  And  they 
won't  stop  with  half  the  problems  solved. 
So  even  as  we  now  have  radio  sets  at  so 
small  a  figure  that  there  is  estimated  to  be 
one  for  every  three  or  four  people  in  the 
whole  United  States,  so  shall  we  have  our 
television  sets.  But  not  next  month.  Not 
next  year. 

And  there's  another  item  of  expense  :  Pur- 
chase of  material  for  television  programs. 

The  cost  of  producing  a  motion  picture 
may  run  from  two  or  three  hundred  thou- 
sand to  a  million  dollars.  But  that  picture 
will  circulate  throughout  the  country,  in 
innumerable  picture  houses,  and  thus  earn 
its  cost  with  profits.    A  television  program, 


however,  will  go  on  the  air  for  perhaps  a 
hour  or  two, — and  probably  will  not  \> 
used  again.  Hut  with  the  necessary  pur 
chase  of  script,  costumes,  music  and  set 
tings  for  it,  the  salaries  of  actors,  director: 
technicians  and  other  workmen,  the  cot 
of  the  television  program  will  approximat 
that  of  the  motion  picture,  without,  prt 
sumalily,  approximating  the  opportunity  c 
paying  for  itself. 

To  repeat,  here  is  a  lay  view  of  man 
of  the  varied  technical,  operating  and  con 
mercial  problems  inherent  in  the  procei 
of  introducing  television  into  our  homes 

1.  The  necessity  for  a  new  system  ( 
inter-connecting   wires  or   relay  station 

2.  Overcoming  the  excessive  cost  of  crt 
ating  this  system. 

3.  Adjusting  receiving  sets  to  more  tha 
one  station. 

4.  Bringing  the  price  of  such  sets  withi 
the  means  of  the  average  family. 

5.  Finding  some  way  to  balance  the  co: 
of  television  programs  with  their  earning 

All  these  problems,  however,  are  receh 
ing  the  diligent  consideration  of  expert 
Progress  is  being  made  toward  their  soli 
tion.  But  until  they  are  solved,  we  mix 
wait  a  little  longer  before  we  may  welcorr 
our  youngest  miracle  home.

e  tiny  inkwell  into  which  Napoleon 
>ped  his  quill  to  write  to  Josephine, 
lere  were  yellow  roses  all  about,  the

i  logs  laid  in  the  fireplace. 
[The  Pons'  apartment  stands  close  by 
t  East  River.  By  every  token  it  should 
■  as  essentially  New  York  as  a  pent- 
Juse  or  an  emerald  necklace  in  Car- 
r's  window.  But  it  isn't  anything  of 
I  kind.  Upon  entering  you  could  easily 
( ieve  yourself  in  a  chateau  in  southern

i  is  in  such  places  that  Lily  Pons  has 
r  roots,  and  her  personality  is  vivid 
i>ugh  to  color  her  surroundings  to  the 
cent  of  transforming  them. 

f  you  are  picturing  La  Pons  in  this 
nm,  typically  the  prima  donna,  wearing 
;  elvet  teagown  and  pearls,  you're  wrong. 
"  u  must  see  her  instead  wearing  brown 
side  oxfords  and  gray  trousers,  with  a 
Iwn  leather  belt  tight  about  her  small 
wst  to  hold  in  her  heavy  deep  blue 
sfcater  with  its  pinched  shoulders  and 
iKlified  turtle  neck.  With  no  rings  upon 
l|  long  white  fingers,  with  practically 
i  makeup,  and  her  hair  a  dark  brown 
•  tain,  swinging  against  the  pallor  of 
r|  face. 

She  isn't  at  all  the  young  woman  you 
vpld  have  said  that  war-wearied  little 
would  grow  up  to  be.     She  has  a 


ely  gaiety.  She  has  the  tone  of  a 
nan  of  the  world.    She  has  the  drive 

energy  of  the  successful  artist.  And 
ecame  curious  about  the  years  in  be- 
en— the  years  and  the  happenings  which 

brought  about  this  transformation. 
Perhaps,"  Lily  Pons  says,  "it  was  the 
Y  horror  of  those  war  years  which 
:ed  me  to  find  an  escape  from  reality 
dreams.  In  any  event  I  did  dream, 
i  in  my  dreams  I  saw  myself  as  an 
st.  Working  in  the  theater.  Studying 
is.    Rehearsing.    Working.  Working. 

Working.  .  .  ." 

f  course  that  dream   influenced  her 
Unities    As  dreams  always  do.  When 
was   twelve,   the   family   moved  to 
s   and    her   mother   turned    the  big 
it   room   of   their   apartment   into  a 
smaking   shop.     Lily   was  delighted, 
the  ends  of  silk  and  velvet  which 
shop  provided  served   for  costumes, 
costumes  were  what  she  must  have 
n  she  brought  boys  and  girls  home 
9\\  school  to  play  theater. 

t  used  to  be  the  director,"  she  ex- 
pl  led.     "Wearing   a    large   hat  which 
ped  ostrich  plumes,  I  used  to  teeter 
it  on  high  heels  rehearsing  my  friends 
ilays  concerned   with   such  beautiful

then  later  her  memories  of  those  horrors 
— such  things  as  might  have  ruined  her 
ability  to  adjust  to  a  happier  pattern  later 
on — they  introduced  her  to  the  dramatics 
which  eventually  would  be  so  important 
in  her  world. 

Then  Lily  fell  in  love.  It  was  a  love 
which  arrived  with  all  the  intensity  of  a 
summer  storm.  And  passed  as  quickly. 
But  when  it  was  over  Lily  was  changed, 
as  anyone  is  changed  by  a  deep  emotional 
experience. 

"That  boy,"  she  says,  "was  vitally  im- 
portant to  me.  I  watched  him  so  in- 
tensely that  I  came  to  feel  everything  he 
felt  and  to  know  every  reaction  he  knew." 

Fortunately  for  Lily  that  boy  was  care- 
free. He  taught  her  the  joy  you  know 
when  you  throw  back  your  head  and 
laugh  until  tears  stand  in  your  eyes.  He 
taught  her  the  fun  it  is  to  watch  your- 
self with  as  much  humor  as  you  might 
experience  for  a  character  on  the  stage 
or  in  a  book.  And  doing  all  this  he 
brought  her  a  long  stride  closer  to  the 
personality  I  found  her  the  other  day. 

"One  afternoon,"  she  said,  "we  went 
to  a  picture-show  together.  The  film 
showed  an  opium  den.  And  the  next 
morning  my  mother's  living-room  lost  its 
decency  as  I  threw  cushions  and  bed-pil- 
lows about  to  resemble  divans.  I  gath- 
ered my  clan  and  provided  all  of  them 
with  penny  clay  pipes  which  I  had  filled 
with  tea  leaves." 

She  laughed.  "Perhaps  you  feel  worse 
if  you  really  smoke  opium,  but  I  doubt 
it !  Those  tea  leaves  made  us  deathly  ill. 
And  I  ended  with  my  den  all  to  myself. 
Even  my  adoring  young  man  fled  from 
me  and  the  pipe!" 

It  was  only  a  few  years  later,  when 
Lily  was  twenty,  that  she  fell  seriously 
in  love.  It  happened  in  Cannes.  As  she 
was  leaving  his  office,  her  physician  in- 
troduced her  to  a  man  who  was  arriving 
with  his  small  son,  whom  he  had  brought 
from  Holland  for  the  sun. 

Long  after  the  doctor  had  introduced 
them,  and  while  he  waited  vainly  for  Lily 
to  go  on  and   for  that   famous  lawyer 


and  his  son  to  enter  his  office,  the  tw 
remained  there  on  the  steps  talking.  Tr 
lawyer  was  clutching  at  anything  he  coul 
think  of  to  say,  so  as  not  to  let  her  g< 
While  she  pursued  similar  tactics,  for 
similar  purpose. 

He  was  over  twice  her  age.  But 
that  made  any  difference  it  was  to  mal 
her  feel  safe  and  secure  when  his  eyt 
were  on  her  and  to  make  him  all  tr 
more  indulgent  of  her  beautiful  youn 
gaiety.  Always  there  was  something  adoi 
ing  and  tender  caught  up  in  his  laughte 

The  mornings  which  followed  foun 
them  sailing  a  canoe.  To  the  practia 
business  of  navigating  their  craft  the 
must  have  brought  some  sixth  sense.  C 
else  God  looks  after  lovers  as  well  £ 
fools.  For  there  wasn't  one  minute  whe 
their  minds  were  on  anything  but  the  fa< 
that  there  between  the  blue  sea  and  tr 
blue  sky  they  were  together. 

Sometimes  they  would  stop  on  the  bead 
while  his  boy  dug  tunnels  in  the  moi: 
sand,  routing  small  stones  and  bits  c 
straw  through  their  devious  ways.  An 
Lily  thought :  "Today  he  will  speai 
surely!"  And  he  thought:  "Nonsense  fi 
us  to  tell  each  other  what  our  eyes  hat 
declared  from  that  very  first  moment.  Bi 
here  goes!" 

Less  than  a  year  after  that  they  wer 
married  and  living  in  Paris,  near  th 
Etoile.  There  they  entertained  many  di.' 
tinguished  people,  statesmen,  singers,  ai 
tists,  authors,  diplomats.  And  the  tal 
was  of  new  books  and  plays,  the  paim 
ings  which  had  just  been  hung  in  som 
gallery,  the  opera,  the  new  trends  in  mu 
sic.  Stimulating  talk  which  keenly  u 
minded  Lily  of  the  things  she  once  ha 
planned  to  do. 

At  first  she  asked  nothing  more  tha 
what  life  offered  day  after  day.  Sh 
was  happy  in  her  beautifully-appointe 
home.  Occasionally  she  went  to  markf 
with  her  cook,  to  choose  a  cauliflowe 
like  a  stiff  bridal  bouquet,  to  pinch  th; 
fat  fowl  the  marketman  insisted  he  ha 
saved  especially  for  her.  In  the  after, 
noons    there    were    luncheons,  musical:

For  some  time  it  has  been  known

Four  Tragedies  in  Vivienne  Segal's  Lils 


(Continued  from  paye  35) 


"can  you  play  the  part,  my  little  girl?" 

The  fifteen-year-old  girl  trembled.  Tears 
misted  her  eyes.  "I  don't  know,"  she  stam- 
mered unexpectedly. 

But  her  mother  spoke  up  for  her.  "She'll 
do  it,"  she  said  firmly. 

The  show  was  to  open  in  New  York 
in  four  days.  Now  Vivienne  had  to  play 
the  part— the  leading  role!— for  herself  and 
for  her  mother  who  had  faith  in  her.  Her 
whole  future  depended  on  it. 

Five  days  later  Broadway  awoke  to  chat- 
ter excitedly  of  the  new  star  which  last 
night  had  risen  in  the  theatrical  firmament 
— and  the  name  of  Vivienne  Segal,  hitherto 
unknown,  unheard  of,  was  on  the  tip  of 
every  tongue. 

And  on  the  same  day  Vivienne's  angry 
father  found  them  in  their  suite  in  a  New- 
York  hotel. 

"She's  only  a  child!  You're  ruining  her!" 
he  stormed  at  Mrs.  Segal.  And  justly,  too, 
many  a  father  would  have  agreed !  They 
had  deceived  him.  Where  was  their  sanity? 
They  must  come  home  at  once.  He  could 
support  his  daughter.  Could  give  her 
everything  she  wanted  .  .  . 

But  could  he  give  her  everything  she 
wanted — when  all  that  she  wanted  was  a 
stage  career?  Vivienne's  heart  ached,  but, 
after  last  night's  triumph,  she  could  not 
give  up!  And  her  mother  loyally  stood  by 
her. 

And,  refusing  even  to  see  the  show,  Dr. 
Segal  'returned  to  his  Philadelphia  man- 
sion, alone. 

Vivienne  thought  of  the  song  she  had 
sung  in  the  show — "Auf  Wiedersehen !" 
How  prophetic— that  sweet,  sad  ballad !  The 
career  she  so  desperately  desired  had  now 
come  between  her  mother  and  her  father. 
Had  broken  up  their  home  ! 

Within  a  year  "Sonny"  Segal  saw  her 
parents  in  the  divorce  court.  And,  sadly 
aware  that  she  alone  was  responsible  for 
this  tragedy,  she  refused  to  allow  her  father 
to  settle  any  money  on  her  mother.  She 
would  have  to  succeed  now — have  to  make 
good,  for  her  mother's  sake.  Although  only 
sixteen  years  old,  she  would  be  the  sole 
support  of  her  loyal  mother  and  herself. 

And  she  did  make  good.  Show  after 
show  found  this  mellow-voiced  young  girl 
its  greatest  asset.  "Oh,  Lady,  Lady!", 
"The  Ziegfeld  Follies,"  "Yankee  Princess" 
and  "The  Three  Musketeers"  were  succes- 
sive stepping-stones  for  the  girl  with  the 
big  brown  eyes.  All  Broadway  was  at  her 
feet. 

When  the  latest  of  the  shows  closed, 
Vivienne  accepted  an  attractive  vaudeville 
engagement,  one  of  many  offered  her.  Cele- 
brating that  evening  with  some  friends,  she 
climbed  the  rickety  tenement  staircase  of  a 
Tenth  Avenue  fortune  teller.  It  was  fun 
to  listen  to  her  portentous  predictions. 
Vivienne  laughed  when  the  old  crone  told 
her  that  she  would  marry  a  man  whose 
initials  began  with  "R.  A."  Love  was  far 
from  her  mind.  Besides,  she  knew  no 
one  with  those  initials — except  her  sister's 
husband'! 

Five  months  later  Vivienne's  composer 
friend,  Harry  Carroll,  called  on  her  in  her 


dressing-room  in  Baltimore.  He  had  so 
one  with  him. 

"May  I  present  Robert  Ames?"  he  asl 
.  And  in  that  moment  Vivienne  Segal  la 
that  she  was  in  love!  It  did  not  n 
recollection  of  the  Tenth  Avenue  prophc 
to  prompt  that  conviction.  Her  heart  I 
her. 

And  Robert  Ames,  handsome  and  talei 
young  actor,  was  aware  of  a  similar  n 
sage  from  his  quickly  beating  heart, 
was  in  Baltimore  trying  out  "Iceboui 
and  it  was  his  intention  to  leave  that  ni 
for  New  York. 

"Instead,"  Vivienne  told  me,  "he  tore 
his  ticket.  He  accompanied  my  act 
Cleveland.  Later  Bob  did  that  often, 
would  travel  eight  hours,  just  to  be  v 
me  ten  minutes  .  .  .  Then,  one  day, 
decided  to  be  married.  The  next  day 
crossed  the  river  to  Newark.  The  wedd 
ceremony  was  performed  by  the  Mayor 
Newark,  with  my  sister  as  bridesmaid  ; 
a  friend  of  Bob's  as  best  man.  Imm< 
ately  afterward  Bob  returned  to  rehear 

"I  left  the  show  to  become  Mrs.  Rot 
Ames.  Mother  moved  in  with  us,  a  y 
later,  when  I  realized  that  we  were  go 
to  have  an  heir.  One  month  before 
baby  came,  my  father  died.  The  sh 
was  dreadful  ...  I  always  had  loved 
Dad  dearly.  Coming  back  from  the  func 
in  Philadelphia,  I  was  taken  ill.  When 
baby  was  born,  it  was  dead. 

"So  was  life,  for  me  .  .  .  My  cl 
and  my  father  were  only  memories.  I  i 
to  do  something  to  keep  from  going  rr 
Bob  knew  this,  too.  He  opened  a  "sb 
company  in  Washington,  so  that  I  might 
leading  lady.  But  just  before  our  tr 
left,  a  Ziegfeld  special  pulled  into  the  Gr: 
Central  Terminal.  Flo  offered  me  ei 
hundred  dollars  a  week  to  sing  three  so: 
in  his  new  show.  I  accepted.  If  I  were 
turning  to  the  theater,  it  might  as  well 
on  Broadway. 

"Bob  went  on  to  Washington.  For 
months  he  managed  his  stock  company.  1 
wrote  often — long  letters.  Yet  they  w 
only  black  lines  on  sheets  of  paper.  Fine

But  at  this  time  a  new  adventi 
beckoned.  She  went  out  to  Hollywood 
make  the  first  technicolor  musicals.  "Sc

broke.  Musicals  ran  their  course  and  w> 
finished.  The  foundation  of  her  fa 
crumbled.  She  was  alone  in  her  Mai: 
home. 

She  left  Hollywood  and  came  to  N 
York.  On  Broadway  she  met  her  forn 
husband,  Robert  Ames.  Financial  losses

here  they  had  a  long  long  talk  together. 
I  Together  they  discussed  a  new  career

arried  again.  For  hours  they  sat  and

ie  other's  courage.  Then  Robert  called  a 
ib  and  took  Vivienne  back  to  her  apart-

,ey  said  nothing  to  Mrs.  Segal  of  their

immon  with  him.

.lldn't  be  possible!  Gradually  she  cheered 
n  up  again.  At  midnight,  after  they  had

ide  him  a  cup  of  hot  soup,  and  said  good

So — you  know  some  one  who's  planning  a 
trip  to  the  altar!  Let's  do  a  little  missionary 
work  for  her — right  away!  Imagine  what 
a  fiery  blush,  or  turning  deathly  pale,  does 
to  the  most-carefully-made-up  face!  A 
bride  simply  must  depend  mostly  upon  her 
eyes  alone  for  beauty.  They'll  be  sparkling 
anyway— but  no  matter  how  busy  she  is, 
see  that  she  takes  the  time  to  slip  her 
lashes  into  Kurlash  (just  as  you  do!)  so 
that  they  may  curve  back  into  the  most 
enchanting  frames  that  deepen  and  enhance 
her  eyes.  Kurlash  costs  only  $1  at  almost  any 
store,  so  perhaps  you'd  better  take  her  one. 


Then — blue  eyeshadow — because  it's  so 
lovely  beneath  white  filmy  veiling.  Shadelle, 
the  eyeshadow  in  compact  form,  comes  in 
a  heavenly  cerulean  blue  (as  well  as  in  vio- 
let, brown  or  green),  $1.  Pass  it  among  the 
attendants,  too,  for  a  lovely  ensemble  effect.

A  wedding  is  a  dramatic  event — so  use

Take  it  along  in  black,  too,  to  touch  the 
very  tips  of  the  bridesmaids'  lashes  after 
the  blue.  (It's  a  final,  theatrical  note  of 
beauty.)  Also  in  chestnut  brown,  at  $1.

"It  you  can't  dress  well,  you  can't  get  jobs," 
she  argued.    "Pay  me  when  you  can." 

And,  taking  a  last,  desperate  chance, 
Vivienne  did  it.  And,  perhaps  due  to  the 
brave  new  outfit,  she  did  get  a  job — one 
which  t6ok  her  back  to  Hollywood. 

Each  week  she  paid  out  from  her  salary 
all  that  she  could  on  the  clothes  she  had 
bought.  But  one  day  some  other  pressing 
bills  had  to  be  met  immediately.  She  wrote 
to  her  friend,  asking  for  a  little  more  time 
to  pay  back  the  last  of  her  indebtedness 
for  the  outfit.  But  her  letter  brought  no 
reply.  Amazingly,  the  modiste  friend  at- 
tached Vivienne's  salary.  She  even  sent 
to  the  newspapers  that  pitiful,  confidential 
letter  from  Vivienne. 

In  the  darkness  of  this  new  despair  an- 
other picture  contract  was  offered  to  Vivi- 
enne. Eagerly  she  looked  forward  to  it, 
but  when  she  read  the  script  she  saw  that 
the  part  assigned  to  her  was  poorly  con- 
ceived and  badly  written.  It  would  not 
advance  her  either  in  prestige  or  popularity. 
It  would  not  help  her  comeback  in  pic- 
tures.   But  she  had  to  go  through  with  it. 

"I  was  ill  at  the  time,"  she  said,  "and 
the  first  shot  of  me  was  a  close-up.  The 
lighting  was  terrible,  and  the  cameraman 
refused  to  change  it.  I  should  have  walked 
off  the  set — but  I  couldn't  afford  to.  I 
owed  people  money.  So  I  stayed  in — and 
let  the  role  ruin  my  chance  for  a  future  in 
pictures." 

But  she  paid  back  what  she  owed  to  the 
gown  shop.  Then,  borrowing  two  thousand 
dollars  from  a  faithful  friend,  she  staked 
it  all  on  a  new  venture — backing  a  show. 
And  now  Fate,  so  long  frowning  and  un- 
friendly, relented.  The  show  was  a  great 
success.  But  to  Vivienne  it  brought  no 
financial  security.  She  paid  back  the  bor- 
rowed money.  Wiped  out  all  remaining 
debts.    And  the  night  the  successful  tour 


finished  Vivienne  hadn't  a  dollar  left  i 

the  bank. 

Friends  offered  to  back  another  show  fc 
her,  but  she  refused  their  offers.  Musical 
she  felt,  were  now  passe.  When  her  mothe 
asked  her  what  she  was  going  to  do,  tt 

smiled. 

"Xo  matter  what  happens,  I  still 
you,  Mother!    And  doesn't  my  horoi 
say  that  I  always  will  have  a  little  money; 
she  answered  bravely.     "Something  wi 
turn  up!" 

And  that  same  night,  into  the  fright) 
shadows  of  defeat,  came  a  new  and  hi 
ening  light. 

Radio,  a  field  of  which  she  never 
thought,  was  looking  for  a  new  voicf 
voice  with  personality,  a  voice  with  qua! 

Abe  Lyman,  an  old  friend,  sugge: 
Vivienne  Segal  as  one  whose  voice 
tone,  pitch,  quality — and  personality — all 
desired  attributes.   And  the  rest  of  the  si 
sings  itself  to  you,  over  the  air. 

In  comparatively  few  years  "Soi 
Segal  had  carved  out  two  careers.  Broac 
way  had  given  place  to  Hollywood.  No* 
Hollywood  stepped  aside  for  a  wider  aud 
ence. 

And  for  the  third  time  Vivienne  ha 
made  good.  Her  mother's  faith  in  her  ha 
been  amply  justified,  her  unselfish  loyalt 
generously  rewarded.  But,  to  Mrs.  Sega 
the  greatest  reward  is  not  financial  eas 
and  security.  It  is  in  seeing  her  daughte 
once  more,  as  on  the  stage  and  before  th 
camera,  one  of  the  top  flight  performer: 
Vivienne  Segal — still  the  star ! 

It  seems  strange,  to  those  who  do  nc 
know  her,  that  Vivienne  Segal,  who  i 
proving  such  a  success  in  radio  even  a 
she  did  on  stage  and  screen,  should  seer 
withdrawn,  elusive,  sad  .  .  .  But  her  friend 
know  what  grim  ghosts  of  tragedy  shado\ 
this  bright  success.

the  broadcast  laughed,  of  course,  and  I'll 
never  forget  Rosaline  creeping  out  of  the 
studio  that  night  as  if  she'd  been  socked 
with  a  yard-arm. 

On  the  air,  Mary  Lou  is  sweet  as  cider, 
isn't  she?  Take  her  off  the  air  and  you've 
got  two  parts  of  as  torrid  a  little  feud 
as  ever  scorched  the  paint  on  a  girl's 
upper  lip.  Remember  that  when  you  tune 
in  next  Thursday  night. 

And  while  you're  about  it,  notice  that 
Tiny  and  Maria  and  the  others  aren't 
calling  Frank  Mclntyre  Captain  John 
Henry  any  more.  Nossir,  he's  Captain 
Henry  just  like  Charles  Winninger  used 
to  be  Captain  Henry.  There's  a  story  for 
you  that  hasn't  seen  the  light  of  day  till 
now. 

Why  Charles  Winninger  quit  the  Show- 
boat has  been  argued  and  discussed  ever 
since  that  afternoon  last  winter  when  the 
shocked  producers  of  the  Showboat  picked 
up  an  evening  paper  and  read  the  numb- 
ing news  that  their  Number  One  star  was 
leaving  their  river  packet. 

I  know  of  several  reasons.  One  thing, 
he  didn't  like  his  salary,  which  was  one 
thousand  dollars  a  week.  He  had  been 
signed  at  that  figure  and  promised  more, 
so  they  tell  me.  He  never  got  more.  The 
Showboat  moved  from  a  zero  entertain- 
ment to  the  top  drawer  of  radio  fare. 
You  couldn't  tell  it  by  looking  at  his 
pay  check,  however. 

Another  reason,  he  liked  to  stick  in 
his  own  wisecracks.  Being  a  seasoned 
Broadway  actor,  long  accustomed  to  pleas- 
ing the  public,  he  felt  his  experience  pro- 
vided lines  better  fitted  for  him  to  say  in 
certain  situations  than  those  provided  by 
the  boy  wonders  who  write  the  script. 
The  boy  wonders  disagreed  and  the  big 
bosses  backed  them  up.  The  third  reason 
is  that  he  drank  cocktails  at  cocktail  time 
on  Thursday  instead  of  waiting  until  after 
the  broadcast  which,  on  at  least  one  oc- 
casion, brought  him  a  semi-public  dressing 
down  from  the  man  who  was  spending 
the  twenty-seven  thousand  dollars  neces- 
sary to  pay  for  each  hour  of  Showboat 
fun. 

Paying  that  kind  of  money,  the  boss- 
man  didn't  want  to  take  chances  with  a 
Captain  Henry  who  drank  cocktails  at 
the  cocktail  hour,  though  I'm  here  to  tell 
you  that  Charles  Winninger  was  a  better 
Captain  Henry  with  a  cocktail  than  he 
was  without  it.  I  know  Winninger  never 
got  over  that  call-down.  When  he  got  a 
chance  to  go  into  a  Broadway  play,  he 
jumped  at  it  and  quit  the  Showboat  cold. 

I'll  never  forget  the  ruckus  that  stirred 
up  among  the  writers  and  producers.  The 
listening  public  couldn't  be  told  that  Char- 
lie had  quit,  nosirree !  Captain  Henry 
was  a  real  guy  on  a  real  boat  and  he  just 
couldn't  disappear  without  explanation. 
There  were  more  studio  huddles  that  week 
than  you'll  see  in  a  whole  football  season. 
They  decided  the  captain  either  had  to  die 
or  go  away.  I  remember  hearing  them  talk 
it  over.  The  boy  wonders  who  wrote  the 
script  allowed  that  it  wouldn't  do  for  him 
to  die  on  account  of  too  many  millions 
of  Americans  might  feel  so  bad  about  it 
that  they'd  tune  off  the  Showboat  and 
turn  to  some  more  cheerful  entertain- 
ment. On  the  other  hand,  some  argued 
a  good  dramatic  death  might  jerk  a  few 
profitable  tears  out  of  the  chair-warmers. 


Remember  the  night  Maria  missed  the 
Captain  and  went  below  to  find  him  alone 
in  his  cabin?  He  told  her  he  didn't  feel 
so  good,  told  her  to  run  along  and  let  an 
old  man  sit  and  suffer.  The  show  up- 
stairs had  to  go  on.  Remember  how  she 
made  him  lie  down  on  his  bunk  and  prom- 
ise to  get  some  rest  and  sleep?  Captain 
Henry  was  mighty  close  to  death  that 
night,  but  the  program  ended  with  him 
still  gently  snoring. 

That  was  the  week  the  boy  wonders 
couldn't  make  up  their  minds  whether  to 
kill  him  off  or  simply  send  him  ashore. 
Eventually,  they  turned  up  a  childhood 
sweetheart,  got  him  married,  and  then 
bundled  him  away  to  a  fictitious  farm. 
You  listeners  can't  appreciate  this  fully 
but  it  was  both  beautiful  and  astonishing 
the  way  they  left  the  running  of  the 
whole  Showboat  to  a  strange  Captain 
John  Henry,  old  Captain  Henry's  long- 
lost  brother,  who  up  to  that  moment  hadn't 
even  been  mentioned.  In  a  few  brief 
weeks,  Tiny  and  Maria  and  the  others 
who  had  to  talk  to  Captain  John  Henry 
began  to  bend  under  the  strain  of  using 
such  a  long  name,  I  guess,  because  they 
just  completely  dropped  the  John.  Since 
then,  it  has  been  Captain  Henry  all  over 
again. 

And  the  wonderful  part  is  that  the 
Showboat  puffs  right  ahead  from  Thurs- 
day to  Thursday,  without  a  complaint  from 
any  one  of  its  millions  of  loyal  listeners. 

Even  an  orchestra  or  an  orchestra  leader 
can  cause  you  to  work  up  an  appetite  for 
aspirin  occasionally.  Don  Voorhees  was 
the  original  band  master,  and  a  jim  dandy, 
too.  He  plays  plenty  of  shows  and  gets 
along  fine,  but  I  guess  that  is  because 
people  don't  try  to  tell  him  how  to  run 
his  band. 

On  the  Showboat,  he  was  told.  It  was 
a  producer,  one  of  the  fellows  who  does 
the  same  job  for  a  radio  show  that  a 
motion  picture  director  does  for  a  movie. 
This  producer  is  always  a  radio  expert, 
and  he  can  prove  it  to  you  any  time,  day 
or  night. 

Well,  this  expert  tried  to  select  Don's 
music  for  him  and  even  direct  his  band. 
And  Don  didn't  let  him  get  away  with  it. 
So  it  came  to  a  show-down  .  .  .  there 
was  something  about  musicians'  union 
rules  and  the  boss-man  trying  to  pull  a 
fast  one  mixed  up  in  it  .  .  .  and  Don 
walked  out  with  his  band. 

Gus  Haenschen  moved  in  then  with  the 
understanding  that  he  was  just  a  music 
master,  the  expert  was  boss.  And  the 
expert  was  boss  for  a  whole  couple  of 
months  until  the  big  bosses  got  tired  of 
him.  They  got  rid  of  him  cute  as  could 
be,  too.  That  expert  was  a  temperamen- 
tal sort  of  bird  with  a  Hugh  S.  Johnson 
opinion  of  himself.  The  big  bosses  left 
him  out  of  some  important  conferences, 
switched  the  show  around  on  him  with- 
out asking  his  opinion.  Just  as  they  had 
calculated,  the  expert  exploded.  He  waved 
his  arms  and  his  hair  and  resigned  in  a 
loud,  threatening  voice.  Before  he  could 
change  his  mind,  the  big  bosses  accepted 
it  and  went  out  and  hired  an  expert  they 
liked  better. 

Finding  a  baritone  with  this  river  ship 
wasn't  easy,  either,  as  you  might  imagine. 
Jules  Bledsoe,  the  Negro,  was  the  first; 
fitted  right  into  the  picture,  too.  Wasn't 


this  a  cotton  boat,  wheeling  its  way  do* 
the  Mississippi?  Folks  down  south  didn 
want  a  black  baritone  singing  with  a 
those  pretty  white  girls  about.  Bleds< 
left  the  cast. 

Later,  they  dismissed  the  Hall  Johnso 
Singers  .  .  .•  no  better  chorus  exists  .  . 
and  I'll  always  believe  it  was  on  accour 

of  the  color  of  their  skins. 

After  Bledsoe  left,  Nelson  Eddy  caml 
aboard,  only  to  be  replaced  by  Wilbu 
Evans.  Neither  satisfied.  Then  Q>nra 
Thibault  knocked  on  the  captain's  doo 
and  was  allowed  to  show  what  he  coul 
do.  W  hat  he  did  was  impressive  cnoug 
to  get  him  a  salary  of  one  hundred  an 
fifty  dollars  a  week.  He  was  hired  an 
glad  to'  be  hired.  He's  still  hired  an. 
getting  three  hundred  and  fifty.  An. 
singing  on  a  fistfull  of  other  shows,  toe 

Right  now,  he  is  the  only  fly  in  th 
ointment  for  Lanny  Ross.  Now,  get  thi 
straight.  Lanny  Ross  is  a  prince  and  : 
great  guy,  but  he  doesn't  like  another  mal. 
singer  cutting  into  his  pull. 

It  wouldn't  surprise  me  to  see' him  leav. 
the  Showboat  during  the  hot  month 
ahead.  Certainly,  he's  done  more  thai 
any  other  single  person  to  make  the  pro 
gram  what  it  is ;  certainly  he's  got  a  goo< 
rest  coming  to  him. 

But  then,  if  he  did  clear  out,  wha 
would  happen  to  the  show?  I  don't  so 
how  the  new  Captain  Henry  could  ho 
it  together.  We  all  admire  Frank  Mcln 
tyre  for  the  job  he's  doing,  but  he  neve 
will  be  the  equal  of  the  old  Captain  Henr 
who  swelled  up  and  turned  red  in  th 
face  and  yelled :  "It's  only  the  beginnin't 
folks.   Onlceece  the  beeeee-ginnn-in's." 

Annette  Hanshaw  is  gone,  playing  tru 
ant  on  the  Camel  Caravan  for  twice  th( 
fun  and  thrice  the  money.  Mary  Lou'; 
roles  are  getting  scantier  and  scantier 
Some  Thursdays,  she  has  barely  a  verst 
and  chorus  to  sing.  Too  many  signs  in- 
dicate that  the  boy  wonders  who  write 
the  show  are  moving  her  toward  an  exit. 

No  Captain  Henry,  no  Annette,  no 
Lanny,  what  is  there  left?  Well,  Tiny 
Ruffner  doesn't  quit  easily.  He's  still 
got  Maria  and  the  John  Henry  who  has 
become  Captain  Henry  and  Conrad.  Tiny 
has  seen  close  to  five  million  dollars  spent 
on  these  programs  since  we  both  started 
to  work  on  the  old  tub.  And  more  mil- 
lions are  available  if  he  needs  them. 

So  there'll  be  a  Showboat  for  a  while 
longer,  I  don't  doubt.  Maybe  there  will 
always  be  a  Showboat.  New  talent  comes 
along  and  some  of  it  is  good  enough  to 
wear  a  star's  crown.  Some  of  it  is  smart 
or  zippy  or  ingratiating  enough  to  make 
the  public  like  it  so  well  that  it  forgets 
the  old  favorites.  That's  progress,  I  guess. 

Personally,  I'll  never  forget  the  old 
crew.  Maybe  they  did  scrap  with  each 
other,  maybe  they  weren't  dependable  and 
letter  perfect,  but  Nells  bells!  Who  is? 
I'll  never  forget  that  they  buried  their 
hates  and  heartaches  once  each  week  long 
enough  to  live  up  to  Captain  Charles 
Henry  Winninger 's  promise  of  "the  great- 
est show  on  the  river."

mclred  five-dollar  bills,  and  five  hun- 
ed  one-dollar  bills.  And  a  two-hundred- 
ld-fifty-dollar  check !  Surely  any  of  these 

worth  trying  for !  And  besides,  a  con- 
st that  tests  your  wits  and  memories  is 
ways  stimulating  and  exciting. 
(You  readers  of   Radio  Stars  Maga- 
xe  are  familiar  by  now  with  the  faces 

your  favorite  radio  artists.  Thanks  to 
:is  entertaining  magazine,  the  voices  that 
rill  and  delight  you  no  longer  are  mere 
sembodied  sounds  flung  upon  the  wait- 
K  air. 

For  example,  you  turn  the  dial  of  your 
kdio  and  a  woman  is  singing.  You 
cognize  the  voice.  It  is  Kate  Smith, 
jid  at  once  you  see  a  picture  of  her  in 
■ur  mind's  eye.  Why,  you  know  the 
[ce  of  Kate  Smith  as  well  as  if  she  were 
;  girl  next  door !  You  know,  too,  the 
ces  of  Lois  Bennett  and  the  Pickens 
ters  and  Phil  Baker  and  Rosemary  and 
iscilla  Lane  and  Jack  Benny — and  other 
pular  radio  artists  too  numerous  to  men- 
n.  Over  and  over  again  their  pictures 
ve  appeared  in  Radio  Stars  Magazine. 
iSo,  for  you,  what  a  snap  to  unscramble 
BSC  scrambled  pictures  on  the  opposite 
ge,  to  assemble  them  as  they  should  be, 
d  write  the  proper  names  beneath ! 
hat  a  snap  to  write,  in  thirty  words  or 
s,  a  letter  naming  your  favorite  radio 
jir  and  telling  why  he  or  she  is  your 
Aorite.  What  a  chance  to  win  that  big 
mey  prize,  or  one  of  the  smaller  ones, 


even — or  a  grand  and  gorgeous  new  RCA- 
Yictor  radio ! 

Here  you  go !  Quick,  Johnny,  open  the 
card  table!  Or,  Sister,  please  clear  off 
the  dining-table.  Now  for  the  pictures. 
.  .  .  And  you  want  scissors,  and  a  paste- 
pot,  perhaps,  and  some  paper  and  a  pen. 
You'll  need  the  latter,  because  when  the 
scrambled  pictures  are  properly  assembled 
you  must  write  beneath  each  one  the  name 
of  the  star  as  you  identify  it.  And  then, 
when  that  is  done,  you  must  dust  off  your 
best  and  brightest  and  cleverest  words — 
not  more  than  thirty  of  them.  Maybe 
even  fewer — to  give  the  name  of  your  fa- 
vorite star  and  the  reasons  for  your 
choice. 

Of  course  you  can't  finish  this  job  at 
one  sitting,  for  this  contest  extends  over 
four  months.  Four  scrambled  pictures  of 
radio  stars  will  appear  in  each  of  four 
magazines — four  in  June,  four  in  July, 
four  in  August  and  four  in  September.  So 
you  must  wait  till  the  September  issue  of 
Radio  Stars  Magazine  is  published, 
which  will  be  on  August  first,  to  get  your 
complete  set  of  pictures. 

And  then  you  must  put  the  sixteen  un- 
scrambled pictures  all  in  one  package  or 
envelope,  together  with  your  thirty-word 
letter,  and  send  them  to  us,  addressed  to 
Scrambled  Stars  Contest,  Radio  Stars 
Magazine,  149  Madison  Avenue,  New 
York  City.  The  contest  will  close  at 
midnight  of  September  first,  1935. 


And  the  prizes  will  go  to  those  of  you 
who  have  correctly  unscrambled  the  great- 
est number  of  scrambled  stars  and  have 
named  correctly  the  greatest  number  of 
the  unscrambled  pictures,  in  addition  to 
describing  in  thirty  words  or  less  the  rea- 
son for  your  choice  of  a  radio  favorite. 

In  other  words,  if  you  would  win  one 
of  these  prizes,  put  together  correctly  the 
greatest  number  of  the  sixteen  scrambled 
pictures.  Then  name  correctly  the  great- 
est number  of  the  reassembled  pictures. 
And  send  them  to  us  in  one  envelope 
or  package  before  midnight  of  September 
first,  1935,  together  with  the  most  original 
and  sensible  letter  in  thirty  words  or  less, 
telling  the  name  of  your  favorite  star  and 
the  reasons  therefor. 

Radio  Stars  Magazine's  fairy  god- 
mother will  be  waiting  to  hand  out  the 
prizes  as  soon  as  the  editors  of  the  maga- 
zine, who  will  be  the  judges  for  this  con- 
test, shall  whisper  to  her  the  names  of 
the  winning  contestants.  And  if  there 
should  be  a  tie  between  two  contestants, 
each  one  will  receive  the  prize  for  which 
their  entries  are  equally  worthy. 

So  get  going,  everybody !  Here  is  a 
contest  for  every  one  of  you !  Read  care- 
fully those  fourteen  rules  governing  the 
contest.  Have  the  fun  of  being  one  of 
the  contestants,  and  the  satisfaction  of 
sending  in  what  may  prove  to  be  one  of 
the  best  entries,  and  the  thrill,  in  that  case, 
of  winning  one  of  these  fine  prizes.

Pied  Piper,  1935  Style

when  you  used  to  bite  your  nails?  And 
he'll  chuckle,  "What  a  silly  thing  to  do! 
You  don't  do  it  now.  Nosirree! .  You're 
too  grown-up  for  that." 

And  Johnny,  listening  in,  glows  with  all 
of  his  five-year-old  pride.  It  may  be  a 
slow  method  but  it  works. 

A  pathetic  case  was  that  of  little  Ruth. 
She  had  a  broken  arm  which  wasn't  set 
right,  and  was  so  painful  to  move  that  she 
let  it  hang  limply  by  her  side.  Her  doctor 
was  afraid  that  her  muscles  would  con- 
tract and  she  would  lose  the  use  of  her 
arm  altogether.  But  all  his  coaxing  and 
that  of  her  parents  couldn't  persuade  the 
poor  child  to  exercise  it. 

It  was  a  serious  situation.  In  despera- 
tion the  doctor  wrote  to  Uncle  Don.  And 
Uncle  Don  captured  the  girls  imagination 
by  making  a  game  of  her  problem.  "Come 
on,"  he  would  say,  "let's  see  if  you  can't 
move  your  arm.  I  know  it  hurts,  that's 
what  makes  it  all  the  more  wonderful  if 
you  do  it.  Aha — I  knew  you'd  make  it ! 
That  was  fine.  Let's  try  it  again.  Say, 
Ruth,  will  you  take  a  dare?  I  want  to  see 
if  you'll  be  able  to  put  your  arm  all  the 
way  around  your  neck  until  your  hand  can 
pat  your  cheek.    Are  you  game?" 

What  child  wouldn't  respond  to  such  a 
challenge?  It  wasn't  more  than  a  few 
weeks  later  than  Uncle  Don  received  a 
note  written  by  Ruth  herself,  announcing 
the  fact  that  she  had  taken  him  up  on  his 
dare  and  had  done  it !  Today  her  arm  is 
strong  and  normal  again. 

Uncle  Don  never  reads  Mother  Goose 
rhymes  or  those  Bunny  Rabbit  stories  to 
his  children.  "Too  juvenile,"  he  says. 
"Modern  children  are  too  sophisticated  for 
that." 

He  never  uses  baby  talk,  either.  He 
believes  in  talking  with  children,  and  not 
doivn  to  them.  "You'd  be  surprised,"  he 
told  me,  "how  quickly  a  child  detects  a 
gushy,  babyish  tone  of  voice  and  distrusts 


immediately  the  one  who  is  using  it.  I

Clul)  very  seriously.  There  are  three  rap! 
of  the  gavel  to  open  the  meeting ;  thcre'l 
a  Ways  and  Means  Committee;  there  ar] 
certain  rituals,  daily  reports,  and  all  o] 
the  ceremony  of  a  grown-up,  importanJ 
club.  The  little  members  love  all  this  an< 
arc  deeply  attached  to  their  club. 

Several  times  during  the  year  Uncle  Doil 
arranges  free  boat  parties,  excursion  tripl 
and  movie  parties  for  children.  He  ha 
made  thousands  of  unfortunate  childrei 
happy.  But  nothing  gave  him  such  a  warn 
glow  of  satisfaction  as  did  this  incident 
He  once  spoke  on  the  air  to  a  little  boj 
who  wouldn't  talk  to  his  baby  brothei 
because  the  mother  had  died  when  the  babj 
was  born.  So  sympathetic  and  under 
standing  was  he  in  dealing  with  tha 
touching  problem  that  several  days  latei 
he  received  this  letter  from  an  adult: 

"When  1  heard  you  talk  to  thai 
little  boy  ivho  disliked  his  baby  brother, 
it  struck  home.  When  my  son  was 
born  my  wife  died  in  childbirth,  and  I 
hated  him  for  it.  I  refused  to  bring 
him  up  and  left  him  with  relatives  for 
eighteen  years.  Then,  when  I  heard 
you  speak,  I  realized  how  terribly 
stupid  and  cruel  I  had  been  and  I  went 
to  my  son  and  asked  him  to  forgive 
me.  Now  we  are  planning  a  new  life 
together  and  I  am  trying  to  make  up 
for  the  wrong  I  have  done.  Thank  you 
for  opening  my  eyes." 

And  now  a  word  about  Don  himself. 
He's  a  big — not  fat — fellow,  in  his  late 
forties  with  a  fascinating  twinkle  in  his 
eyes  and  a  three-cornered,  Irish  smile. 
The  tragedy  in  his  life  is  that  he  has  no 
children  of  his  own.  But  all  of  his  love 
and  understanding  he  pours  out  on  his 
million  and  a  half  nieces  and  nephews.

C  pman. 

ight  here  let  me  tell  you  that  no  pen

wiout  describing  her  also  as  Mrs.  Chap-

st  ng  at  the  outset  that  Mr.  Chapman 
lurs  a  great  deal  more  about  culinary 
ilt  ils  than  does  his  lovely  wife!  Oh,  yes, 
tl  popular  and  attractive  son  of  a  famous 
faer  (Mr.  Chapman,  senior,  ornitholo- 
gi  and  writer,  has  been  curator  of  birds 
at  le  American  Museum  of  Natural  His- 
toj  for  many  years)  this  well  known 
Her  in  his  own  right,  takes  the  greatest 
■  e  in  relieving  his  wife  of  many  of  the 
deils  of  managing  a  well-run  establish- 
m  t.  When  it  comes  to  arranging  parties, 
i  s  daily,  it  is  Mr.  Chapman  who  plans 
tli  -efreshments  and  who,  on  occasion,  ac- 
ta y  makes  some  of  the  unusual  dishes 
I  h  have  added  fresh  laurels  to  the 
El  imans'  fame  as  host  and  hostess. 

le  of  the  Chapman  specialties,  I  was 
to  is  East  Indian  Curry  of  Lamb.  How 
th  nen  go  for  that,  when  the  large  steam- 
in  bowl  is  placed  on  the  table !  When 
y<  know  that  this  exotic-sounding  dish 
Wains  only  such  ingredients  as  can  be 
fo  d  on  the  shelves  of  any  corner  groc- 
er store,  you,  too,  will  want  to  make  it 
so;  day  for  your  favored  guests.  And 
yo'l  be  able  to,  for  Mr.  Chapman  gave 
mche  recipe  in  great  detail !  It's  the  kind 
I  treat  that  will  add  to  your  reputa- 
I  as  a  smart  hostess  when  you  serve  it 
to  >ur  baffled  but  enraptured  friends. 

simpler,  but  no  less  delicious  Chap- 
ma  Swarthout  invention  is  a  cheese  colli- 
sion that  is  served  in  a  little  brown 
)uj  surrounded  by  crackers.  Each  guest, 
Ithtj  spreads  the  cheese  on  the  crackers 
ioinersonal  consumption.  The  inroads  / 
p*  on  the  contents  of  that  cheese  jar 
h»ej  disgraceful !  You  also  can  see  from 
thdicture  of  Gladys,  caught  in  the  act  of 
ispt.ding  a  cheese-cracker  for  her  hus- 
P«i  that  she  is  pretty  proud  of  this  spe- 
cial they  evolved.  Maybe  I'm  not  proud, 
toclthat  I  was  able  to  get  the  recipe. 

Jth  this  cheese  a  most  unusual  salad 
is  rved — generally  in  a  delightfully  in- 
lorbl  wooden  bowl.  This  salad  consists 
Of  very  conceivable  green :  lettuce,  ro- 
mak  chicory,  escarolle,  watercress  and 
ende  and  even  includes  the  tender  in- 
sidleaves  of  raw  spinach !  These  spinach 
'eap.  I  was  told,  must  be  very  young, 
*  utely  fresh,  and  they  have  to  be 
wakd  and  washed.  Combined  with  other 
KNls  or  even  served  by  itself,  spinach 
ma  s  a  delicious  and  healthful  salad. 

sserts  are  not  a  feature  on  the  Swarth- 
oulnenu  for  they  prefer  fresh  fruit  or 
cn<!e  at  the  end  of  a  meal.  However, 
entertaining,  in  a  desire  to  please 
the  guests,  the   Chapmans  occasionally 


serve  a  rich  Nut  Torte  as  a  party  sweet. 
I  was  able  to  procure  this  recipe  for  you 
from  their  Norwegian  cook.  But  that 
worthy  culinary  expert  backed  down  com- 
pletely when  it  came  to  giving  me  a  recipe 
for  a  Swedish  Hot  Bread,  described  in 
glowing  terms  by  Mr.  Chapman  as  a  com- 
bination of  roll  and  biscuit,  retaining  the 
best  features  of  each.  It  seems  that  the 
cook  had  got  the  recipe  originally  from 
the  King  of  Norway's  chef,  no  less  1 
Neither  wild  horses,  nor  your  scribe,  could 
drag  the  directions  for  making  them  from 
her.  Alas,  in  this  instance,  I  must  con- 
fess my  efforts  met  with  dire  failure ! 

However  she  did  tell  me  how  to  make 
a  fish  dish  that  first  had  been  served  to 
the  Chapmans  in  a  New  York  restaurant 
known  as  Passy's.  It  seems  that  some 
time  ago  Miss  Swarthout  began  to  fre- 
quent Passy's  and  the  chef  there  soon  dis- 
covered that  his  famous  patron  was  very 
fond  of  sea  food.  So,  he  invented  a  unique 
recipe  which  he  now  serves  twice  a  week, 
which  he  calls,  "Filet  of  Sole  Swarthout." 
Being  a  kindly  and  generous  person  he 
presented  a  copy  of  his  recipe  to  the  fair 
lady  in  whose  honor  it  had  been  named. 
Now  the  Chapmans  can  serve  this  same 
dish  in  their  home.  And  since  I  was  able 
to  get  the  recipe,  you,  too,  can  sample  it. 

There  you  are,  four  marvelous  recipes, 
each  and  every  one  of  them  for  foods  that 
Gladys  Swarthout,  opera  star,  radio  star, 
future  movie  star  and  star  hostess,  serves 
in  her  own  home.  You  and  I  may  not 
have  many  of  Miss  Swarthout's  gifts,  but 
her  recipes  in  attractive  leaflet  form  are  a 
gift  that  is  yours  for  the  asking!  So  just

out, Rocquefort  au  Vin,  Indian  Curry  of

difficult  or  elaborate  for  every-day  family 
consumption.  Yet  it  is  as  party  foods

No  more  'tired,' 

let  down  feeling' for  me." 


"I  reasoned  that 
my  red  blood  corpuscle  strength 
was  low  and  I  simply 
took  a  course  of  S.S.S.  Tonic 
and  built  it  back." 

IT  is  all  so  simple  and  reasonable.  If  your 
physical  let-down  is  caused  by  lowered 
red  blood  corpuscles — which  is  all  too  fre- 
quent— then  S.S.S.  Tonic  is  waiting  to  help 
you  . . .  and  will,  unless  you  have  a  serious 
organic  trouble  that  demands  a  physician 
or  surgeon. 

Remember,  S.S.S.  is  not  just  a  so-called 
"tonic."  It  is  a  tonic  specially  designed  to 
stimulate  gastric  secretions,  and  also  has 
the  mineral  elements  so  very,  very  necessary 
in  rebuilding  the  oxygen-carrying  red  cor- 
puscles in  the  blood. 

This  two-fold  purpose  is  important.  Diges- 
tion is  improved  . . .  food  is  better  utilized 
. . .  and  thus  you  are  enabled  to  better  "carry 
on"  without  exhaustion — as  you  should. 

You  may  have  the  will-power  to  be  "up 
and  doing"  but  unless  your  blood  is  in  top 
notch  form  you  are  not  fully  yourself  and 
you  may  remark,  "I  wonder  why  I  tire  so 
easily." 

Let  S.S.S.  help  build  back  your  blood 
tone  ...  if  your  case  is  not  exceptional,  you 
should  soon  enjoy  again  the  satisfaction  of 
appetizing  food  . . .  sound  sleep  . . .  steady 
nerves  ...  a  good  complexion  . . .  and  re- 
newed strength. 

S.S.S.  is  sold  by  all  drug  stores  in  two 
convenient  sizes.  The  $2  economy  size  is 
twice  as  large  as  the  $1.25  regular  size  and 
is  sufficient  for  two  weeks  treatment.  Begin

There's  a  Man  Behind  This  Voice 


(Continued  from  page  49) 


hospital.  He  brought  him  oranges  and 
ice  cream.  For  months  he  came  daily, 
watching  Harry's  strength  return. 

One  day  the  old  man  arrived  at  the 
hospital  heavy-hearted.  A  card  had  come 
to  the  store  addressed  to  Harry.  It  was 
from  the  University,  and  as  he  read  it, 
tears  came  into  the  old  man's  eyes.  As 
he  looked  at  the  pile  of  books  beside 
Harry's  bed  he  knew  that  he  could  not 
tell  the  boy  that  the  college  had  can- 
celled his  registration. 

Six  weeks  later  Harry  learned  the  truth. 
The  University  professors  "regretted  that 
Mr.  Von  Zell  had  been  in  the  hospital," 
but  .  .  .  how  could  they  allow  him  to  con- 
tinue, when  he  had  missed  nearly  half  the 
course? 

"It  was  hard  to  take,  but  I  could  see 
their  point.  My  University  days  were 
over.  But  I  didn't  go  home.  I  never 
told  my  family.  They  didn't  even  know 
I  had  been  in  the  hospital.  I  went  back 
to  my  job  at  the  store.  During  off  hours 
I  hung  around  an  old  gymnasium  to  make 
extra  money.  I  sparred  with  fighters  and 
rubbed  them  down  after  they  had  knocked 
me  around.  One  day,  because  some  boxer 
hadn't  shown  up,  they  gave  me  a  chance 
to  fight  in  a  preliminary  bout.  I  had 
sparred  with  the  man  in  the  other  corner 
and  knew  his  tricks.  But  neither  of  us 
was  much  good— I  guess  that's  why  I 
won. 

"I  decided  to  become  a  boxer.  I'd 
make  my  training  pay.  I  practiced  hard. 
By  the  time  I  had  won  three  fights,  fought 
one  to  a  draw  and  lost  one,  I  felt  that 
this  was  the  career  for  me.  I  knew  I 
was  the  coming  lightweight  champion.  I 
knew  it — until  I  went  to  a  party  one  night 
and  met  a  girl  who  knocked  the  idea 
right  out  of  me !" 

Harry  was  speaking  of  "Mickey",  now 
his  wife.  Neither  of  them  will  ever  for- 
get that  party.  Harry  had  not  been  a 
boxer  long  enough  to  carry  scars  or  have 
cauliflower  ears.  He  didn't  look  like  a 
fighter  and,  what's  more,  the  tall,  blonde 
athlete  was  romantic!  He  couldn't  un- 
derstand why  Mickey  laughed  when,  three 
hours  after  he  met  her,  he  told  her  that 
he  loved  her.  He  couldn't  understand 
why  she  said  that  if  he  wanted  to  prove 
it  he  must  give  up  boxing.  But  Harry 
gave  it  up  that  night — with  the  result 
that  three  months  later  his  whirlwind 
courtship  swept  Mickey  off  her  feet,  and 
she  married  him. 

Mickey  loved  this  boy  who  had  given 
up  the  glitter  of  a  Hollywood  prize  ring 
for  her,  to  become  a  clerk  in  a  railroad 
office.  She  adored  his  sense  of  humor 
and  his  deep,  clear  baritone  voice.  But 
she  realized  that  his  salary  was  small. 
As  Harry  sang  soft,  sentimental  ballads 
to  her,  she  thought  of  his  future.  She 
had  seen  many  lives  wrecked  and  homes 
ruined  where  pennies  had  to  be  too  closely 
counted.  Shrewdly  she  encouraged  him 
to  use  his  fine  voice.  She  told  him  ear- 
nestly that  if  he  could  sing  before  a 
microphone  as  he  sang  to  her,  his  songs 
would  lift  them  far  above  shabbiness  and 


poverty.  She  urged  him  to  sing  to  1 
often  and  sat  silent,  happy,  as  better  toi 

resulted. 

She  talked  often  now  of  radio.  S1 
reminded  Harry  that  life  could  oft 
more  than  mere  existence.  But  affah 
blue-eyed  Harry  laughed  at  her  notiol 
Then  one  day,  he  answered  the  telephoi 
to  be  told  that  his  audition  over  stati 
KFI  was  scheduled  for  eight  o'clock  t 
next  evening.  Now,  he  thought,  this  rea 
was  funny,  and  he  continued  laughing  i 
Mickey  told  him  what  she  had  done. 

Paul  White-man  was  coming  to  Holl 
wood  to  make  a  picture.  She  had  re 
of  it  in  the  paper.  She  also  had  re* 
that  auditions  were  being  given  for  som 
one  to  announce  his  West  Coast  broa 
casts.  She  had  entered  her  husbam 
name. 

"Isn't  it  nice  that  they  really  will  gi 
you  an  audition?"  she  exulted,  her  ey 
shining. 

"Yes,"  he  answered  skeptically. 

Mickey  dressed  hours  ahead  of  tin 
"I'm  going  with  you  to  your  auditior 
she  said.  "I  want  to  hear  how  your  voi' 

records." 

So  Harry  and  Mickey  went  to  his  i 
dition.  At  the  studio.  Mickey's  assuran: 
faltered.  Her  husband  faced  a  line  i 
half  a  dozen  judges  and  over  three  hu 
dred  auditioners.  What  chance  would  1 
have  ?  Two  weeks  later  no  one  was  mo  I 
surprised  than  Mickey  when  her  hu: 
band's  name  came  hurtling  across  tl 
ether  waves  as  the  winner.  No  one  e:' 
cept,  perhaps,  her  husband ! 

Harry  knew  the  moment  he  tried 
that  radio  was  where  he  belonged.  Ar 
he  stuck  to  it.  His  even-tempered  di 
position  and  geniality  soon  made  th 
green  recruit  popular  around  the  studi' 
The  genuine  quality  of  his  deep  voi( 
endeared  him  both  to  fans  and  sponsor 
Within  six  months  Harry  Von  Zell  w£ 
manager  of  Station  KMTR,  a  West  Coa: 
Columbia  outlet.  In  addition,  he  still  wa 
announcing  Paul  Whiteman's  Old  Gol 
program.  After  eighteen  more  month 
he  had  nearly  finished  paying  for  a  ne\' 
home,  he  owned  a  new  car,  and  Micke 
had  just  presented  him  with  a  bouncin 
baby  boy. 

But  in  his  eager  headlong  rise  to  sue 
cess,  Harry  had  forgotten  the  sufferin; 
of  his  youth,  forgotten  the  cause  of  th 
disaster  that  had  finished  his  college  day.' 
He  had  tried  to  do  too  many  things  a 
once — that  was  his  initial  fault.  Th< 
second  was  over-ambition.  Each  took  thei 
toll. 

Harry  had  climbed  as  high  as  he  coul< 
in  Hollywood's  air  world.  Now  hi 
wanted  a  wider  horizon. 

In  his  association  with  Paul  White 
man's  troupe,  Harry  formed  a  firm  friend 
ship  with  one  of  the  Rhythm  Boys.  Th' 
young  singer  was  Bing  Crosby,  and  i 
was  through  him  that  the  King  of  Jaz; 
offered  Von  Zell  his  first  opportunity  ft 
travel.  They  were  leaving  for  Seattle 
and  Whiteman  invited  Harry  to  come 
with  them. 


But  what  about  Mickey?  Since  their 
narriage  they  never  had  been  separated 
,or  longer  than  a  few  hours.  Harry's 
wther  now  lived  with  them,  and  there 
.as  the  baby.  How  could  he  leave  them? 
hat  night  he  drove  with  his  wife  along 
ie  moonlit  palisades  overlooking  the  Pa- 
ine. He  told  her  of  his  chance  to  go 
ith  W'hiteman.  He  spoke  tenderly,  for 
(though  he  was  driven  by  ambition,  al- 
ways he  included  her  in  his  dreams. 

"We  shall  be  able  to  do  so  much  more," 
e  cried  ardently. 

Mickey  tried  to  be  enthusiastic  but  be- 
,-ath  her  forced  laughter  was  the  knowl- 
lge  that  now  life  was  taking  Harry  away 

om  her.  "But  perhaps  if  he  leaves  now," 
Lie  thought,  "he'll  come  back  soon  and 
■  more  satisfied." 

.The  Seattle  engagement  did  take  Harry 
om  her.  but  only  geographically.  Others 
the  outfit  would  go  to  parties  and  cafes, 
Ijt  when  the  program  was  over  Harry 
ent  home  to  his  hotel  and  wrote  long 
tters  to  his  Mickey.  But  now  he  was 
en  more  ambitious. 

A  publicity  man  had  extravagantly 
omised  Harry  that  he  could  get  him  a 
tter  job  if  he  would  come  to  New  York, 
is  enthusiasm  was  contagious.  Harry 
termined  to  go.  Having  made  up  his 
ind,  he  rushed  to  the  phone  and  called 
jp  wife.  Trembling  with  emotion,  he 
Id  her  of  his  plans.  Cheerfully  he  said 
■odbye  to  his  mother.  And  three  hours 
:er  Bing  Crosby  wished  his  friend  luck 
he  watched  him  board  the  night  ex- 
ess  and  start  racing  on  the  third  and 
eatest  hazard  of  his  life,  toward  New 
irk. 

"Make  good  or  go  back  to  the  bushes," 
ng  said,  and  Harry  vowed  he  would 
ike  good.  He  had  no  clothes  except 
2  suit  he  wore  and  a  few  things  in  a 
adstone  bag.  He  had  no  money  except 
p  two  weeks'  salary  he  had  just  col- 
ted,  out  of  which  he  had  paid  his  hotel 
I.  But  he  was  never  happier  in  his 
e.  Here  began  his  race  for  success — 
■it  for  himself  alone  but  for  Mickey  and 
I  mother,  and  for  his  child. 
Harry  opened  this  hitherto  closed  chap- 
I  of  his  life  to  me  today.  "Because  I 
ude  this  trip  I  never  saw  my  mother 
:,ve  again,"  he  said,  anguish  written  on 
I.  face.  "If  I  ever  thought  I  had  known 
!  fering  when  I  was  a  kid,  I  was  soon 
t  be  able  to  look  back  on  my  frozen- 
t  s-and-lost  red-mitten  days  as  heaven." 
.He  arrived  in  New  York  at  daybreak 
;  1  with  his  fast-disappearing  capital 
ljistered  at  an  expensive  hotel.  By  the 
tie  he  had  shaved  and  changed  his  shirt,

FOR  CURTAINS 

Rit   is   a  convenient 


sift  out  of  the  package 


office,  impatient  to  begin  work  immedi- 
ately. He  hadn't  slept  a  wink,  hadn't 
eaten  breakfast.  All  he  wanted  was  to 
begin  broadcasting. 

But  it  was  not  so  simple.  His  friend, 
it  seemed,  had  no  power  to  offer  him  a 
job!  Besides,  there  was  an  announcer 
named  Ted  Husing  already  under  con- 
tract for  the  Old  Gold  program.  Of 
course  the  publicity  man  was  glad  to  see 
Harry  in  New  York,  but  he  had  not  ex- 
pected in  Seattle  that  he  would  be  so 
impetuous.  He  was  certain  that  Harry 
would  find  work.  As  a  final  gesture  of 
good  fellowship,  he  gave  Von  Zell  a  let- 
ter to  an  employment  manager. 

Harry  felt  numb;  his  eyes  welled  with 
bitter  disappointment  as  he  took  the  let- 
ter and  went  out.  In  several  offices  he 
told  his  story  to  secretaries.  They  looked 
at  him  disdainfully.  How  could  he  ex- 
pect work  when  he  applied  for  jobs  with- 
out even  wearing  an  overcoat,  in  mid- 
winter? But  lie  finally  was  ushered  into 
the  presence  of  the  man  he  had  come  to 
see. 

He  told  his  story  again.  The  man 
laughed.  Von  Zell's  friend  had  offered 
him  a  job?  Then  why  hadn't  he  given 
him  one? 

But  Harry  had  not  come  thirty-five 
hundred  miles  to  be  turned  down  so  casu- 
ally. He  pleaded  for  just  one  opportu- 
nity to  step  before  the  microphone.  Any 
program  that  would  pay  him  even  a  small 
salary  would  be  all  right.  He  would  be 
willing  to  take  the  smallest  job  they  had. 

The  man  who  listened  to  him  promised 
help.  He  would  see  that,  at  some  vague, 
indefinite  date,  this  earnest  young  man 
who  had  managed  a  radio  station  in  Los 
Angeles  should  get  a  New  York  audition. 
He  would  let  him  know  later  when  it 
could  be  arranged. 

But  Harry  Von  Zell  needed  zvork,  and 
now — not  future  auditions.  He  needed 
money.  He  had  a  wife,  a  baby,  and  his 
mother  to  support.  Payments  must  be 
made  on  his  home.  These  things  flashed 
through  his  whirling  brain.  Once  more 
he  began  to  talk. 

Fast  and  furiously  he  spoke,  and  the 
man  at  last  listened  attentively.  When  he 
finished,  Harry  was  given  three  programs 
to  announce  that  same  afternoon  as  an 
audition. 

But  when  his  work  was  finished  he 
could  not  see  the  employment  manager 
again.  Could  not  get  through  the  net- 
work of  secretaries,  could  not  even  dis- 
cover whether  the  man  had  heard  him. 
He  was  told  to  return  the  next  morning. 

He  went  back  to  his  hotel ;  there  until 
checkout  time  he  slept,  exhausted.  He 
paid  one  day's  rent  and  then  carried  his 
bag  to  a  railroad  station  check  room.  For 
four  days  he  walked  from  office  to  office 
trying  to  find  one  man  who  would  listen, 
one  man  who  could  get  him  back  into 
radio.  For  four  nights  he  trudged  the 
hard  pavements  beneath  Broadway's  glit- 
tering lights,  only  to  end  each  one  sleep- 
ing, spent  and  lonely,  on  a  park  bench. 

Rain  finally  forced  him  to  seek  shelter. 
He  rented  a  tiny  room  on  Tenth  Avenue. 
Each  day  he  sought  desperately  for  a  job, 
and  each  day  was  exactly  like  the  day 
before.  Sometimes,  during  what  seemed 
an  endless  night,  he  would  awaken,  half- 
mad  with  worry,  and  get  up  and  walk 
again,  listening  to  night  revelers,  while, 


cold  and  hungry,  he  cried  only  for  a 
chance  to  live. 

He  wrote  to  Mickey.  He  told  her 
things  were  pretty  tough  but  that  he  ex- 
pected a  job  almost  any  day.  Then  he'd 
send  for  her.  In  reply  she  sent  him  a 
small  package.  It  contained  a  clean  shirt, 
a  few  pieces  of  home-made  fudge  and 
one  of  the  baby's  tiny  socks.  He  knew 
that  she  was  worried — knew  that  sh^ 
wanted  him  to  come  home.  He  wanted 
to  go,  more  than  anything  on  earth.  But 
he  had  no  money  left. 

A  few  days  later  he  received  another 
letter  from  his  wife.  It  was  edged  in 
black.  Before  he  opened  it  he  knew  the 
terrible  news  it  must  contain,  and  he  was 
right.  His  mother  was  dead.  She  was 
dead  and  buried,  and  he  was  three  thou- 
sand miles  away.  Tortured,  the  lonely, 
unhappy  boy  broke  down  and  cried. 

The  landlady  heard  his  sobs.  He  poured 
his  broken-hearted  story  into  her  sympa- 
thetic ears.  She  urged  him  to  borrow 
money  and  return  to  Hollywood  immedi- 
ately. In  the  morning  he  awakened  fully 
determined  to  go  home.  Then  came  the 
bitter  realization  of  what  returning  on 
borrowed  money  would  mean.  His  mother 
was  beyond  help  now;  if  he  could  not 
bring  success  to  Mickey  and  his  son,  cer- 
tainly he  could  not  bring  them  debts,  a 
failure.  He  was  a  fighter — he'd  always 
fought.    He'd  do  it  now! 

He  decided  to  go  back  to  the  studio 
and  ask  for  a  chance  to  be  even  an  office 
boy.  But  Fate,  who  had  dealt  Harry 
Von  Zell  so  many  hard  knocks,  now  of- 
fered him  success.  Some  one  told  him 
there  was  an  announcer's  job  open  at 
Columbia  .  .  . 

He  arrived  without  promises,  without 
letters.  He  knew  no  one.  He  possessed 
only  that  desperate  determination.  And 
he  won  the  job  without  an  audition,  be- 
cause the  man  to  whom  he  applied  had 
heard  him  announcing  on  the  Coast.  But 
he  might  never  have  got  to  see  that  man 
if  he  hadn't  brushed  aside  two  secre- 
taries and  walked  into  his  office  without 
knocking ! 

He  worked  at  a  small  salary  for  over 
a  year.  Then  Bing  Crosby  came  to  Co- 
lumbia. Bing  now  was  an  important 
singer,  and  he  made  certain  that  his  old 
pal  should  announce  his  first  radio  pro- 
gram. This  was  the  chance  for  which 
Harry  had  prayed.  If  he  clicked,  he 
could  bring  Mickey  and  the  baby  to  New 
York. 

He  stepped  nervously  before  the  micro- 
phone. And  he  clicked !  In  six  months 
he  had  saved  enough  to  send  for  Mickey 
and  the  baby. 

That  his  son  didn't  even  remember  him 
after  his  long  absence  did  not  daunt 
Harry  now.  He  would  win  the  baby's 
love  all  over  again.  Mickey  remembered 
him — that  was  enough.  And  she  still 
loved  him. 

He  still  is  ambitious,  this  popular 
Hoosier  announcer.  But  he  never  again 
will  make  the  mistake  of  being  over- 
ambitious.  He  never  again  will  try  to 
do  too  many  things  at  one  time.  Happi- 
ness, he  knows,  is  here  and  now.  It 
might  be  nice  to  live  in  a  penthouse;  it 
might  be  nice  to  own  a  radio  station  .  .  . 

But  right  now  it's  pretty  swell  just 
being  Harry  Yon  Zell,  and  announcing 
his  share  of  the  big  major  programs.

A    DEODORANT  THAT'S 


EASY  TO  CARRY 
IN   YOUR  PURSE 


Here  is  something 
that  will  make  your  job  of  keeping  sweet 
just  twice  as  easy.  It's  a  new  kind  of 
deodorant.  No  need  to  spread  it  on  or  rub 
it  in  with  the  fingers.  No  need  to  dig  into  a 
jar.  No  waiting  for  it  to  dry,  and  you  can 
use  it  right  after  shaving. 

This  new  deodorant  is  the  size  and  shape 
of  a  lipstick — applied  as  easily  as  a  lip- 
stick. A  few  touches  to  the  armpits  and 
you  are  protected  against  odor  for  the  day. 

Its  name?  Perstik.  And  because  it  is  the 
size  and  shape  of  a  lipstick,  it  is  easy  to 
keep  in  your  purse  for  use  during  the  day 
or  evening.  If  you  have  ever — even  for  a 
single  moment — suspected  the  presence  of 
under-arm  odor  when  away  from  your 
boudoir,  you  will  appreciate  having  a 
Perstik  with  you  in  your

The  Wrong  Color 
Can  Make  You  Look 
5  to  10  Years  Older! 

If  there's  one  thing  you  want  to  "try  on",  it's 
your  face  powder  shades.  You  may  not  realize 
it,  but  it's  a  known  fact  among  artists  and  make- 
up experts  that  the  wrong  shade  of  face  powder 
can  make  you  look  older  than  you  really  are. 

Many  a  woman's  age  is  unjustly  placed  at  5 
to  10  years  more  than  it  actually  is  simply  on 
account  of  the  color  of  face  powder  she  uses. 
There  is  no  greater  error  than  to  choose  your 
face  powder  color  on  the  basis  of  "type"  or  col- 
oring. Matching  isn't  what  you  want  at  all,  but 
flattery — enhancing  of  your  natural  gifts. 

Seek  to  Flatter  -  Not  to  Match  ! 

Many  a  brunette  who  uses  a  brunette  or  dark 
rachel  powder  wants  another  shade  altogether. 
The  same  with  blondes.  Many  a 
blonde  who  uses  a  light  rachel  or  a 
beige  really  requires  a  darker  tint. 
You  must  remember  that  the  color 
of  your  hair  doesn't  govern  the  color 
of  your  skin.  A  brunette  may  ha\  e  a 
very  light  skin,  while  a  blonde  may 
have  quite  a  dark  one,  and  vice  versa. 


OF 

FACE  POWDER? 


The  only  sensible  and  practical  way  to  choose 
your  face  powder  shade  is  to  "try  on"  all  the 
five  basic  shades  which  colorists  agree  are  suf- 
ficient to  take  care  of  all  tones  of  skin.  And  this 
is  the  opportunity  I  give  you,  at  no  cost  to  you! 

My  Service  to  the  Women  of  America 

In  order  to  help  you  solve  the  all  important 
question  of  which  shade  of  face  powder  for 
you,  I  will  send  you  all  five  shades  of  my  Lady 
Esther  Face  Powder  absolutely  free  of  cost. 
When  you  try  on  all  five  shades,  as  you  must, 
you  will  discover  whether  you  have  been  right 
or  wrong  in  your  shade  of  face  povder  and 
whether  you  have  been  benefiting  or  suffer- 
ing as  a  result. 

Many  times  it's  the  woman  who  is  most 
sure  of  her  shade  of  face  powder  that  is  most 
astonished  with  the  results  of  this  test.  Many 
times  it  is  the  shade  that  a  woman  would  never 
suspect  that  proves  to  be  most  youthifying 
and  flattering. 

Mail  the  coupon  or  a  postcard  today  and 
learn  for  yourself  whether  you  are  doing  your- 
self justice  or  injustice  in  the  shade  of  face 
powder  you  are  using.

The  Suffering  I 

Had  to  Bear  In  Secret" 

"XT  J  HAT  a  toll  Piles  take — in  pain,  in  physical 
and  mental  incapacitation,  in  drain  on 
vitality!  The  sad  part  about  this  affliction  is 
that,  on  account  of  the  delicacy  of  the  subject, 
many  hesitate  to  seek  relief.  Yet  nothing  is 
more  fraught  with  danger  than  a  bad  case  of 
Piles,  ending,  as  it  may,  in  serious  trouble. 

Real  treatment  for  Piles  is  to  be  had  today 
in  Pazo  Ointment.  Pazo  not  only  relieves  the 
pain,  soreness  and  itching,  but  it  tends  to 
correct  the  condition  as  well.  Pazo  works  be- 
cause it  is  threefold  in  effect.  First,  it  is  soothing, 
which  relieves  the  soreness  and  inflammation. 
Second,  it  is  healing,  which  repairs  the  torn  and 
damaged  tissue.  Third,  it  is  absorbing,  which 
tends  to  reduce  the  swollen  blood  vessels 
which  are  Piles. 

Pazo  comes  in  collapsible  tube  with  special 
Pile  Pipe;  now  also,  for  the  first  time,  in 
suppository  form,  14  to  the  box.  Those  who 
prefer  suppositories  will  find  Pazo  supposito- 
ries better  than  anything  they  have  ever  used. 

Try  It  FREE! 

Pazo  is  sold  by  all  drug  stores,  but  a  liberal 
trial  tube  is  free  for  the  asking.  Simply  mail 
the  coupon  or  a  post  card.

I  NEVER  NEED 
LAXATIVES 
ANY  MORE! 


TO  END  THE 
CATHARTIC  HABIT 

Try  This  Improved 
Pasteurized  Yeast 
That's  Easy  to  Eat 


r 


[F  you  take  laxatives  to  keep  "reg- 
ular," you  know  from  experience 
that  drugs  and  cathartics  give  only  tempo- 
rary relief  from  constipation.  Such  remedies 
merely  cause  a  drastic  purging  action.  They 
do  not  correct  the  cause  of  your  condition. 

Doctors  now  know  that  in  many  cases  the 
real  cause  of  constipation  is  a  shortage  of 
the  vitamin  B  complex.  This  precious  factor 
is  sadly  deficient  in  the  typical  every-day 
diet.  In  many  foods  it  is  entirely  lacking. 
When  this  factor  is  added  to  the  diet  in  suffi- 
cient amounts,  constipation  goes.  Elimina- 
tion again  becomes  regular  and  complete. 

Yeast  Foam  Tablets  are  pure  pasteurized 
yeast  and  yeast  is  the  richest  known  food 
source  of  vitamins  B  and  G.  They  should 
stimulate  your  weakened  intestinal  nerves 
and  muscles  and  quickly  restore  your  elimi- 
native  system  to  normal,  healthy  function. 

With  the  true  cause  of  your  constipation 
corrected,  you  will  be  rid  of  the  evil  cathartic 
habit.  Your  energy  will  revive.  Headaches 
will  go.  Your  skin  will  be  clearer  and  fresher. 

Don't  confuse  Yeast  Foam  Tablets  with 
ordinary  yeast.  These  tablets  cannot  ferment 
in  the  body.  Pasteurization  makes  this  yeast 
utterly  safe  for  everyone  to  eat.  It  has  a 
pleasant,  nut-like  taste  that  you  will  really 
enjoy.  And  it  contains  nothing  to  put  on  fat. 

All  druggists  sell  Yeast  Foam  Tablets. 
The  10-day  bottle  costs  only  50c.  Get  one

talked  cosily  before  the  fire,  while  a  sleet 
storm  lashed  at  the  casement  windows. 
Then,  as  I  chatted  on  about  Hal's  last 
program,  that  had  brought  in  a  new  high 
of  fan-mail,  he  came  to  the  point 
abruptly. 

"I've  come  to  talk  to  you  about  Hal, 
Molly.    He'll  listen  to  you,  won't  he?" 

I  was  frightened.  A  little  warning 
bell  sounded  in  my  brain  as  I  looked  at 
him.  I'd  seen  so  little  of  Hal  for  the  past 
fortnight.  Fortnight?  For  a  month  or 
more  1  We  weren't  being  asked  out  to- 
gether as  much  lately. 

"What  do  you  mean?"  I  asked.  "Aren't 
his  broadcasts  increasingly  popular?  I 
know  he  missed  a  rehearsal  last  week — 
but  something  came  up  .  .  ." 

Arthur  Balcom  smiled  faintly.  "I 
wasn't  thinking  of  that.  Hal  is  the  big- 
gest draw  on  the  air.  He's  put  the  Milk 
o'  Roses  products — well,  I  won't  bore  you 
with  figures.  But  you  know  what  he's 
worth  to  us." 

I  did.  The  thought  of  his  weekly  sal- 
ary check  still  made  me  dizzy. 

"Then  what?" 


He  handed  me  a  clipping  reluctantly.  It 
was  from  a  sprightly  gossip  column.  I 
didn't  want  to  read  it. 

"This  is  what  neither  he  nor  we  can 
afford,  Molly.  I  daresay  it  doesn't  mean 
anything— but  it  isn't  going  to  do  him 
any  good." 

J  read : 

"What  Cold  Coast  matron  and  her 
beautiful  stepdaughter  are  both  that 
way  over  what  Prince  Charming  of 
the  networks?  (And  he  a  recent  ben- 
edict!) Mother  has  put  him  on  the 
map  socially — but  it's  daughter  he's 
seen  with,  not  too  discreetly.  Ho- 
huml" 

I  crumpled  the  vicious  innuendo  in  my 
palm  before  I  dropped  it  into  the  burning 
embers.  I  think  I  managed  a  smile. 
"Tabloid  gossip  I"  I  said  scornfully.  "It 
doesn't  mean  a  thing,  Arthur.  Scandal 
is  the  life-blood  of  every  tab  column." 

"It's  the  death-blow  to  a  radio  star," 
he  said  drily.  "This  refers  to  Mrs.  Hank 
Levitt,  and  the  Levitt  girl,  Venice,  of 
course." 

I  knew  that,  better  than  he.     And  1

knew,  too,  that  I  had  been  deliberately 
blinding  myself  to  a  lot  of  things.  To 
endless  phone  calls,  with  Hal  uttering 
only  the  most  discreet  monosyllables.  To 
evasions  on  his  part.  To  a  sudden  readi- 
ness to  accept  invitations  without  me, 
when  only  a  month  ago  he  had  been  so 
insistent  on  my  appearing  in  public  with 
him. 

And  it  had  been  a  long  time  since  he 
had  boasted  about  the  Levitts.  I  even 
had  given  up  teasing  him  about  his  con- 
quest of  the  rich  older  woman,  who  had 
rushed  him. 

It  spelled  just  one  thing.  Venice  Lez-itt! 
I  thought  of  her  insolent,  red-haired 
beauty,  lier  amber-irised  eyes.  I  remem- 
bered them  dancing  together  at  the  Char- 
ity Ball.  I  remembered  her  snubbing  me, 
too.  .  .  . 

"It's  only  gossip,"  I  said  again,  de- 
fiantly.   But  I  knew  that  it  wasn't. 

"Then  warn  him,  Molly!"  Arthur  Bal- 
com  said  gently.  "They're  both  publicity 
hounds.  Venice  Levitt  feeds  on  notoriety; 
her  stepmother's  just  as  avid  for  it.  Be- 
tween them,  they'll  ruin  Hal.  And  he's 
worth  saving." 

I  put  out  my  hands  to  the  blaze,  and 
he  took  them  in  his,  drew  me  to  my  feet. 

"Believe  this  or  not.  I'm  not  thinking 
about  the  money  we've  got  tied  up  in  the 
Hal  Robey  hour,  Molly,  hard-headed 
business  man  that   I  am."     There  was

You  can't  blame  people  for  avoiding  the  girl  <t

more  than  pity  in  his  direct  blue  gaze. 
"Fin  thinking  about  you.  .  .  ." 

"About  mc?"'I  echoed  numbly. 

"I  do  that,  rather  a  lot,"  he  told  me 
under  his  breath.  "You  aren't  very  happy, 
are  you,  .Molly?  And  I  have  to  be  the 
one  to  give  you  added  pain.  .  .  ." 

A  great  deal  passed  between  us  in  one 
silent  moment.  But  I  had  to  make  him 
understand,  even  though  it  meant  cutting 
myself  off  from  something  that  was  safe 
and  strong  and  dear  in  a  reeling  world. 

"It  makes  me  happy  to  have  you  for 
a  friend,  Arthur,"  I  told  him.  "You  are 
that,  aren't  you?" 

"Always!"  He  understood.  A  spasm 
of  pain  made  his  face  quiver.  He  lifted 
my  cold  hands  to  his  lips,  then  let  them 
go. 

A  minute  later  he  was  gone.  I  was 
alone.  The  fire  was  dying  down  to  em- 
bers, its  fading  glow  a  symbol  of  my 
perishing  hopes. 

We  had  it  out  that  night,  Hal  and  I. 
There  wasn't  anything  else  to  do.  He 
was  furious  with  me  for  listening  to 
Arthur  Balcom — furious  with  Arthur  for 
daring  to  meddle  in  his  private  affairs. 

And  being  furious — and  afraid — he  took 
the  offensive.  So  Balcom  wasn't  satisfied 
with  the  landslide  popularity  of  the  Hal 
Robey  hour !  Did  he  think  Hal  Robey 
couldn't  find  another  sponsor?  He'd  show 
him  what  he  stood  to  lose,  by  flinging  his 
nice-Nelly  censoriousness  in  his  face ! 
Show  him  an  offer  from  a  rival  concern. 
And  then  Balcom  would  be  singing  an- 
other tune.  .  .  . 

So  this  was  what  his  sudden  ascent  to 
stardom  had  done  to  Hal !  I  found  my- 
self wanting  to  laugh  hysterically,  despite 
the  lump  in  my  throat,  the  leaden  ache 
in  my  heart. 

"Forget  the  Hal  Robey  hour  for  a  min- 
ute, Hal !"  I  said.  "Remember  something 
else — if  you  can.  You're  my  husband  to 
me — not  just  the  greatest  crooner  of  them 
all !  I'm  your  wife — the  girl  you  loved 
and  married  a  year  ago.  You  haven't 
even  denied  this — this  affair  with  Venice 
Levitt.    Aren't  you  going  to?" 

He  looked  at  me,  and  a  slow,  crimson 
tide  mounted  to  the  roots  of  his  fair  hair. 
It  made  him  seem  defenseless  and  young 
again — it  made  him  the  boy  I'd  loved  from 
the  first  moment  I'd  set  eyes  on  him,  so 
infinitely  long  ago.  But  his  silence,  his 
shame,  and  my  own  heartbreak  kept  me 
from  bridging  that  awful  gulf. 

"I  can't  lie  to  you,  Molly — ever."  He 
spoke  at  last,  huskily.  "You  wouldn't 
want  it,  would  you?" 

I  turned  away.  I  only  wanted  him  to 
stop.    Or  to  lie.    Love  is  like  that ! 

"You  didn't  seem  to  think  much  of  me 
as  a  husband  back  east,  Molly.  Not  after 
the  baby  died.  I  wanted  to  make  up  a 
lot  of  things  to  you  then,  remember?  I 
wanted  to  begin  all  over  again.  .  .  ." 

I  remembered.     But  I   couldn't  speak. 

"But  you  didn't  want  that.  You  wanted 
to  punish  me.  And  since  we've  been  out 
here,  nothing  has  been  right  between  us. 
And  Venice — "  he  drew  a  deep  breath, 
"I've  hurt  you,  Molly,  and  Venice  is  going 
to  be  hurt,  too.  I  was  pretty  crazy  about 
her  for  a  while.  She  can  do  that  to  men 
— to  almost  any  man.  And  she  gave  me 
what  a  man  wants.  She  made  me  feel 
I  was  tops — she  wasn't  afraid  to  show 
me  how  much  she  cared.  .  .  ." 

"You  love  her?"  I  asked  tonelessly. 


He  shook  his  head.  "No.  She  can 
still  do  things  to  me,  with  that  tricky 
smile  of  hers,  the  scent  of  her  hair,  the 
touch  of  her  mouth.  But  it  isn't  love. 
It's  something  pretty  cheap,  even  if  she 
is  Venice  Levitt !  I've  got  to  get  clear 
Molly!" 

"And— Mrs.  Levitt?"  I  asked. 

He  crimsoned  again.  "You  know  there 
wasn't  anything  in  that.  But  they've  had 
a  bang-up  row.  Flora's  leaving  for  Palm 
Beach  tomorrow.  I've  got  to  bring  things 
to  some  sort  of  graceful  conclusion 
Venice  will  forget  me  in  a  week,  if  1 
don't  damage  her  infernal  pride  toe 
much." 

Her  pride!  What  of  mine?  But  all 
I  said  was : 

"You  have  been  honest,  Hal.  Thai 
counts  for  something,  I  suppose.  I'll  dr 
my  part.  You've  paid  for  my  loyalty,  ii 
you  want  it.  ..."  I  looked  at  my  black 
velvet  frock,  touched  the  cold,  glittering 
diamond  bracelet  on  my  wrist.  (It  mii 
his  anniversary  present.)  But  I  recoiled 
from  his  arms,  his  sweet,  weak  mouth 
that  would  have  sought  my  cheek.  "I 
won't  fail  you,  Hal,"  I  promised  bleakly. 
"I  elid  once,  I  know.  I'll  stand  by  and 
play  the  devoted  wife.  I'll  do  everything 
I  can  to  spike  any  scandal — but — that's 
all."  I  ran  upstairs,  evading  his  pleading 
hands.  And  only  then  did  I  give  way  tc 
the  tearless,  agonizing  sobs  that  racked 
me  until  the  windows  greyed. 

Hal  didn't  stop  seeing  Venice  Levitt 
But  he  was  more  discreet  about  it— if 
any  man  could  link  discretion  with  a  ro- 
mantic interlude  with  Venice!  I  knew 
he  was  trying  to  break  with  her,  and  I 
did  my  best  to  keep  gossip  from  linking 
their  names  together.  I  even  entertainer: 
her  in  my  own  home.  But,  even  knowing 
what  I  did,  I  was  unprepared  for  the 
shocking  finale  that  Venice  herself  engi 
neered. 

The  Levitts  had  a  glorified  shooting- 
lodge  up  in  the  north  woods,  a  hundrec 
miles  from  Lake  City.  It  was  the  son 
of  pseudo-rustic  place  old  Hank  Levif 
would  have  built — and  never  used.  Showy 
remote,  miles  from  civilization.  In  No- 
vember Venice  usually  opened  it  up  foi 
a  shooting  party.  But  from  then  on  i 
lay  stark  and  dead,  buried  in  wind-swep 
conifer  and  spruce.  Inaccessible,  snowet 
in  by  the  unsullied  Wisconsin  winter,  nc 
one  would  dream  of  its  being  a  trystinj 
place  for  the  most  enterprising  lovers 
And  yet.  .  .  . 

One  Saturday  afternoon  in  March  Ha 
phoned  me  to  have  Ito,  our  Japanes< 
house-man,  pack  a  bag  for  him.  H< 
wanted  outdoor  things,  heavy  boots,  hi; 
snowshoes.  Tom  Maxon,  the  prograrr 
supervisor  at  the  studio,  was  getting  u[ 
an  impromptu  stag-party  for  the  week- 
end in  the  country,  he  explained.  He'c 
be  back  by  Monday  noon,  in  time  for  i 
rehearsal. 

He  had  been  looking  thin  and  worn 
and  I  was  glad  he  was  going  to  get  s 
brief  reprieve  from  the  strain  of  hi; 
broadcasts,  his  nightly  Sky  Club  appear- 
ances. Ito  didn't  pack  for  him.  I  did 
And  when  he  dashed  in  to  pick  up  his 
bag  and  hurry  off  I  put  my  arms  arounci 
him  and  kissed  him.  My  poor,  tired,  be- 
leaguered Hal !  Had  I  been  all  a  wife 
should  be  to  him,  these  last  painful 
months  ? 

Two  hours  later  the  phone  rang  again.

young    Russian-born    pianist,  is

The  call  was  for  him,  but  I  took  it. 
And  all  the  life  seemed  to  ebb  out  of  me 
as  I  braced  myself  against  the  library 
table.  It  was  Tom  Maxon,  wanting  to 
consult  Hal  about  some  minor  change  in 
the  next  week's  program. 

I  don't  believe  I  gave  myself  or  Hal 
away.  I  just  said  he  was  out  of  town 
'  over  Sunday,  and  would  ring  Maxon  the 
first  thing  Monday  morning.  But  I  knew, 
with  awful,  heart-rending  certainty,  just 
where  he  was — at  the  Levitt  lodge,  with 
Venice. 

I  didn't  touch  my  solitary  dinner.  I 
tried  to  read,  but  the  printed  words  had 
no  meaning.  Between  them  and  my  vision 
rose  pictures  of  Hal  and  Venice,  in  their 
snow-bound,  lonely  tryst.  And  a  sense 
of  catastrophe  greater  than  my  outraged 
bitterness  possessed  me. 

Miserable,  I  lay  sleepless  half  the  night. 
So  this  then  was  the  end.  I'd  lost  him 
to  a  ruthless,  unscrupulous  girl  who,  with- 
out compunction,  would  destroy  him  and 
his  brilliant,  hard-earned  future.  I  knew 
Venice  Levitt,  and  I  knew  my  Hal !  But 
* '  II I  didn't  know  how  soon  my  nightmare 
premonition  of  disaster  was  going  to  be 
justified. 

It  was  after  midnight,  and  I  had  fallen 
at  last  into  an  uneasy  doze  when  the 
phone  by  my  bed  shrilled  with  the  defi- 
nite, distracting  ring  of  a  long-distance 
call. 

It  wis   Hal.     A   shaken   Hal,  whose

L-  .A   "I  wonder  if  it  would  end  all 

ivJlDDlJ  regular  pain  for  me,  and  end  it 

for  all  tiiiK  ?" 
To  the  woman  who  is  asking  herself  that 
question,  the  makers  of  Midol  make  an 
emphatic  answer:  1 1  will  not. 

But  they  make  another  statement  just 
as  emphatie,  and  just  as  true:  Midol  al- 
ways relieves  periodic  pain  to  some  de- 
gree, and  will  for  you. 

Understand,  this  extraordinary  medi- 
cine may  bring  you  complete  relief.  It  has 
done  this  for  many.  And  some  of  these 
women  had  always  had  the  severest  pain. 
But  others  report  only  an  easier  time. 
Even  so,  isn't  the  measure  of  relief  you 
are  sure  to  receive  well  worth  while? 
Midol  means  great  comfort  in  any  case  — 
compared  with  unchecked  suffering  at 
this  time  of  the  month! 

Any  sufferer  who  experiences  no  relief 
from  Midol  should  consult  a  physician. 

"Yes,  but  won't  it  form  some  habit?"' 
Only  the  habit  of  avoiding  suffering  which 
is  needless!  There  is  no  "habit  forming" 
drug  in  Midol.  It  is  not  a  narcotic. 

So,  don't  let  the  speed  with  which  this 
remarkable  medicine  takes  hold  cause 
you  any  apprehension.  Don't  keep  it  for 
"emergencies"  or  wait  for  the  pain  to 
reach  its  height  before  you  take  it.  Let  it 
keep  you  comfortable  throughout  the 
period.  Learn  to  rely  on  it  completely. 
Just  follow  the  simple  directions  found 
inside  the  box. 

And  speaking  of  boxes,  you'll  appre- 
ciate the  slim  aluminum  case  in  which  you 
get  Midol.  It's  so  thin  and  light  —  and 
dainty  —  you  can  give  it  a  permanent 
place  in  your  purse  and  always  be  pre- 
pared. It  is  a  tremendous  relief,  mental 
and  physical,  to  be  able  to  approach  this 
time  without  any  misgivings,  and  to  pass 
serenely  through  it. 

Your  druggist  has  these  tablets.  You'll 
probably  see  them  on  the  counter.  If  not, 
just  ask  for  Midol.  Fifty  cents  is  the  most 
you'll  pay  —  for  comfort  that  is  worth 
almost  anything. 

When  it  has  given  you  back  those  days 
once  given  over  to  suffering,  will  you  do 
this?  If  you  know  someone  who  still 
suffers,  tell  her  of  your  discovery  ■ —  that 
Midol  does  bring  definite  and  decided 
relief  from  "regular"  pain.

voice  came  over  the  wire  reedy  with  ter- 
ror. He  was  too  frightened  to  be  co- 
herent, but  I  got  the  truth  out  of  him  at 
last,  and  fell  back  on  the  pillows,  clutch- 
ing the  instrument  to  my  breast. 

"Molly— are  you  still  there?  For  God's 
sake  don't  let  me  down  1"  he  begged. 

I  said:  "All  right,  Hal.  I'll  come.  Can 
you  get  hold  of  a  doctor,  or  shall  I  ? 
What  about  trains?" 

Then  I  remembered  that  Venice  Levitt 
was  air-minded ;  that  there  was  a  private 
landing  field  at  the  lodge.  There  was  no 
time  for  pity  or  recriminations.  I  hung 
up,  and  literally  flung  on  my  clothes. 

I  don't  know  how  I  managed  to  dress 
myself,  pack  an  overnight  bag,  put  in  the 
necessary  phone  calls.  The  first  was  to 
the  nearest  flying  field.  The  second  was 
to  Arthur  Balcom.  Strange  that  I  should 
think  of  him,  when  Hal's  salvation  or 
destruction  lay  in  his  hands.  But  I  knew 
I  could  trust  him — and  I  was  right. 

Half  an  hour  later  we  took  off  from 
the  Lake  Shore  flying  field,  into  the 
snow-laden,  bitter  night. 

It  was  a  bad  night  for  flying.  Our 
pilot  told  us  so  grimly,  but  Arthur's  gen- 
erous bonus  triumphed  over  his  reluc- 
tance because  of  the  low  ceiling,  the  swirl 
of  snow  and  sleet  that  so  easily  might 
mean  a  crash-up. 

I  didn't  think  of  the  danger.  I  was 
just  thinking  of  Hal.  alone  in  a  remote 
lodge  with  a  girl  who  might  be  dying — 
thinking  of  the  hideous  scandal  that  would 
blazon  his  name  shamefully  on  every  front 
page,  unless  I  got  there  in  time. 

For  Hal  had  driven  Venice  to  her 
father's  unoccupied  camp  for  a  farewell 
tryst.  He  had  hoped  to  have  a  final 
showdown,  make  the  neurotic,  love-sick 
girl  realize  that  he  was  through.  Through, 
no  matter  what  she  did  or  threatened ! 
(That's  what  he'd  choked  out  over  the 
humming  wires,  and  I  believed  him.  It 
was  the  sort  of  mad  thing  he  would  do!) 
And  Venice,  in  a  harrowing  scene,  had 
tried  to  call  what  she  thought  was  his 
bluff.  She'd  picked  up  a  gun.  And  in 
the  struggle,  it  had  gone  off. 

"If  she  dies,  Molly,  even  you  can't  save 
him,"  Arthur  said  to  me,  above  the  roar 
of  the  motors.  "And  if  she  doesn't — is 
he  worth  this  much  to  you?" 

I  shivered  in  my  sable  coat.  "He's  my 
husband,  Arthur.  He  knew  he  could  trust 
me,  in  spite  of  everything.  How  could  I 
fail  him?" 

We  didn't  say  much  more.  There 
wasn't  any  more  to  be  said. 

We  got  through  the  blinding  storm, 
taxied  to  a  safe  landing,  ten  minutes  be- 
fore the  only  available  doctor,  thirty  miles 
away,  ploughed  his  way  through  the 
mounting  drifts  in  his  flivver.  And  by 
that  small  margin   I  did  save  Hal ! 

He  met  us  at  the  lodge  door,  white, 
shaken.  But  I  didn't  listen  to  his  shamed, 
pleading  explanations.  There  was  too 
much  to  do. 

Venice  lay,  covered  with  a  fur  robe, 
in  one  of  the  icy  bedrooms  where  Hal 
had  carried  her  after  the  accident.  She 
was  sullen  and  hysterical  by  turns  as  I 
tried  to  make  her  more  comfortable,  sup- 
plementing Hal's  clumsy  first  aid.  I 
didn't  know  how  badly  she  was  hurt,  but 
the  bullet  had  missed  her  heart,  ploughed 
upward  through  her  lovely,  creamy  shoul- 
der. She  had  lost  a  lot  of  blood,  but  she 
wasn't  unconscious. 


When  I'd  done  what  I  could,  I  flew 
downstairs  to  set  the  stage.  Hal,  his 
head  sunk  in  his  hands,  watched  me.  I 
thought  of  everything,  even  to  soiling 
extra  dishes  and  silver,  to  spilling  the 
contents  of  my  overnight  bag  on  the  bed 
in  Hal's  room.  The  room  adjoining 
Ven  ice's ! 

When  the  doctor  came  he  would  find, 
not  a  lover's  tryst,  but  a  distracted 
house-party  of  four !  Then  I  went  back 
to  Venice.  Everything  depended  on  her 
now. 

"Quite  the  girl  scout!"  she  said  at  last, 
opening  her  sultry,  lovely  eyes.  "Well — 
you've  done  your  good  deed  for  the  night, 
I'd  say."  Then,  curiously:  "Why  did 
you  come,  Molly?  Just  to  save  Hal's 
radio  career  from  an  early  death?"  She 
laughed,  not  pleasantly.  "At  that,  I  sup- 
pose it's  worth  it  to  you." 

I  shook  my  head.  "I  didn't  think  of 
that,  when  he  called,"  I  said  wearily,  hold- 
ing Arthur's  brandy  flask  to  her  pale, 
derisive  lips.  "It  was  just — he  needed 
me.  I  couldn't  fail  him."  I  heard  the 
doctor's  car  chugging  up.  I  said :  "Lis- 
ten, Venice.  His  future  is  important— 
not  to  me,  to  him.  He's  fought  his  way 
up — made  his  name  in  radio.  You've  got 
his  life,  as  a  radio  star,  in  your  two 
hands.  If  the  real  truth  of  tonight  ever 
comes  out  ..."  I  choked.  I  couldn't  go 
on. 

"You  won't  be  wearing  those!"  With 
a  cynical  forefinger  she  touched  a  string 
of  pearls  Hal  had  given  me. 

"I  probably  won't  anyway."  I  drew  a 
deep  breath.  "You  must  mean  a  lot  to 
Hal.  for  him  to  risk  all  this.  If  you  do 
— if  he  wants  a  quiet  divorce  later  on, 
I'll  not  fight  it  or  try  to  keep  him.  And 
you  must  care  for  him.  I  suppose.  But 
don't  destroy  him,  Venice !" 

She  knew  what  I  meant.  Suddenly  her 
eyes  filled  with  tears.  She  flicked  them 
away  angrily.  "Do  you  think  you've  got 
a  corner  on  all  the  sportsmanship  in  the 
world  ?"  she  jeered  unconvincingly.  "Go 
down  to  Hal.  He's  yours,  you  know 
And  what  he's  probably  told  you  is  true 
That's  why  I  made  this  damn'  fool  grand- 
stand play.  .  .  ." 

She  closed  her  eyes.  "We  all  drove  out 
together  for  a  cozy  week-end  in  the  coun- 
try. And  I  would  play  with  an  unloaded 
gun.  That's  the  story,  isn't  it?  Now 
bring  old  Doc  Hansen  up  here.  My 
shoulder  hurts  " 

I  went  downstairs  very  slowly.  Hal 
pale,  piteous,  guilty-eyed,  tried  to  com- 
fort me  when  I  did  break  down,  after  tht 
doctor  had  reassured  us  and  had  gone 
promising  to  send  out  a  nurse  in  thej 
morning. 

But  it  was  Arthur  Balcom  who  mado 
hot  coffee,  who  tucked  cushions  behind 
me  as  I  lay  back  in  a  big  chair,  sobbing 
my  heart  out.    I  clung  to  his  kind  hand 
knowing  that  without  him  I  never  wouk 
have  got  through  the  ghastly  night.  I 
couldn't  look  at  Hal  as  he  begged  foi 
forgiveness  and  told  me  again  and  agair 
that  he  had  come  there  with  Venice  onh 
to  break  with  her  for  good  and  all. 
looked  at  Arthur  ...  A  man  like  Arthui 
Balcom  never  would  betray  two  women 
as  Hal  had  clone.  .  .  . 

But  when  Hal  knelt  beside  me  and  lai 
his  head  in  my  lap,  I  knew  that  what  h 
was  or  wasn't  didn't  matter. 

"You've    saved    me,    Molly,"    he  sak 


RADIO  STARS 


huskily.  "Any  other  woman  in  the  world 
would  have  given  me  to  the  wolves !  I've 
been  a  rotten  husband — but  I  need  you  so 
badly.    It  isn't  all  over,  is  it,  darling?" 

Arthur  Balcom,  tired,  kind,  inscrutable, 
stood  facing  me  across  the  leaping  fire 
he  had  built  in  the  big  fireplace.  But  I 
had  no  answer  for  the  eloquent  question 
in  his  eyes.    Except  one. 

I  ran  my  hand  through  Hal's  touseled 
blond  hair.  My  voice  shook  with  tears. 

"I  love  to  be  needed,  Hal.  I'll  forget 
everything  about  tonight  but  that.  And 
I'll  always  be  there,  darling." 

I  knew  that  was  inevitable,  for  both  of 
us.    For  we  had  been  husband  and  wife; 
i  we  had  had  a  child ;  we  had  loved  and 
hurt  each  other- — and  would  again.    But — 

All  that  was  three  years  ago.  People 
.  don't    change    much,    fundamentally.  I 
know  Hal  hasn't. 

There  have  been  other  women,  other  in- 
discretions that  I've  shut  my  eyes  to.  But 
Hal  always  has  come  back  to  me.  Is  it 
because,  underneath,  he  really  cares?  Or 
am  I  just  his  protection,  his  defense? 

I  don't  know.  Perhaps  it's  better  that 
I  don't.  I  love  him,  and  I'm  his  wife. 
And  even  though  I  share  him  day  and 
night  with  the  world  of  avid,  romantic, 
listening  women  who  tune  in  on  his  broad- 
casts, I  still  have  a  little  part  of  him 
that  belongs  to  me  alone.  And  maybe 
that's  all  any  crooner's  wife  can  say!

Unwritten  Laws  of  Radio  Row 

{Continued  from  f>a</e  17) 


was  weary  from  doing  five  shows  a  day  at 
Loew's  State  Theatre  in  New  York.  Hut 
she  had  to  go  to  the  doings. 

The  young  lady  was  the  hit  of  the  night, 
It  was  a  strange  and  lovely  sight  to  see  as 
she  kissed  the  man  she  never  spoke  to, 
and  sang  song  after  song.  She  explained 
she  had  got  out  of  a  sick  bed  to  honor  "the 
swell  feller  who  plays  those  swell  tunes 
on  our  swell  program  with  such  a  swell 
band,"  and  what  a  fine  man  he  was  to  work 
with  and  so  sweet  and  lovely  to  a  little  girl 
who  was  what  she  was  today  because  of  his 
swell  assistance. 

The  bogus  Svcngali  didn't  seemed  baffled 
by  this  counterfeit  praise.  He  expected  it. 
It's  an  unwritten  Jaw  that  people  who  work 
on  the  same  programs  always  show  up  on 
opening  nights  and  do  a  free  show  for  the 
orchestra  on  their  program. 

When  Radio  Stars  Magazine  gave  me 
this  assignment,  I  telephoned  the  young 
singer  and  recalled  the  incident.  After  I 
had  promised  I  would  not  mention  her 
name,  she  said  : 

"I  still  don't  talk  to  him — he's  no  good! 
But  what  else  could  I  do  that  night?  I  had 
to  go.    You  know  I  had  to  go." 

Another  unwritten  law  of  Radio  Row  is 
that  you  have  to  learn  how  to  take  it. 

The  Broadway  boys  call  it  "the  velvet 
knock."  At  openings  and  dinners  the  radio 
stars  abuse  one  another  from  the  dais  and 
the  spotlight-freckled  floor.  They  single  out 
a  performer  in  the  audience  and  smilingly 
insult  him.  And  the  clay  pigeons  for  the 
sharpshooting  insults  sit  back  and  grin 
while  their  social  and  professional  life  is 
attacked,  pretending  to  be  having  as  much 
fun  as  any  one.  Not  once  have  I  heard 
a  radio  personality  object  to  being  insulted 
in  public  by  an  alleged  funny  man  whom 
he  privately  despised.  But  as  soon  as  it 
is  over,  the  insultee  begins  to  grumble  and 
complain  under  his  breath.  If  the  self- 
designated  wit  had  said  the  same  things 
in  private,  a  brawl  would  have  followed. 

But  why  do  they  take  it  ? 

Just  another  unwritten  law  in  radio's 
invisible  constitution. 

Another  mysterious  axiom  of  the  ether 
business  is  that  singers  and  orchestra 
leaders  must  show  a  violent  contempt  for 
song-pluggers. 

It  is  conceded  by  warblers  and  musicians 
that  they  could  not  make  a  living  if  they 
did  not  have  songs  to  sing  and  play.  They 
need  the  words  and  music  of  Tin  Pan 
Alley  on  Kilocycle  Causeway.  But  they 
must  ritz  the  contact  men — they  are  called 
song  pluggers — of  the  music  publishing 
firms.  I  have  seen  heads  of  million-dollar 
music  firms  snubbed  by  fifty-dollar-a-week 
chanters.  The  pluggers  accept  the  humilia- 
tion and  seem  to  flourish  on  it. 

Why? 

Just  one  of  those  unwritten  laws. 


Singers  and  musicians  refuse  to  make 
appointments  with  the  pluggers.  They  hold 
mass  auditions  for  songs  at  odd  hours  of 
the  day.  They  get  cuts  on  songs  they: 
sing.  They  dine  with  the  pluggers,  but 
never  reach  for  the  check.  They  make! 
errand  boys  out  of  the  publishers'  repre-, 
sentatives,  and  treat  them  as  servants! 
while  they  get  rich  singing  their  songs.  | 

Successes  in  radio  always  must  have  ai 
manager,  a  large  office,  a  press  agent  and 
a  meek  platoon  of  secretaries.  Usuallj 
the  star's  bookings  are  handled  by  the  net-' 
work's  artist  bureau.  The  chain's  publicity 
department  blows  the  bugles,  contacts  the 
papers  and  schemes  up  angles.  They  could 
use  a  hat  as  an  office.  Few  stars  do  any. 
business  themselves. 

But  again  we  come  back  to  the  un-1 
written  law.  They  just  have  to  have  these 
things.  Why?  Oh,  it's  the  thing.  Every-' 
one  has  them.  Why?  Well,  that's  how  \\\ 
is.  They're  living  by  a  set  of  rules  more 
rigid  than  the  penal  code! 

The  sponsors  say  that  N'ew  York  does 
not  represent  the  United  States;  it  is  just 
another  city  as  far  as  they  are  concerned. 
But  the  stars  don't  agree  with  them.  They 
crave  a  good  notice  in  a  New  York 
tabloid's  radio  column. 

It  has  become  tradition  that  you  must 
play  every  benefit  a  certain  New  York 
critic  has  anything  to  do  with — and  he  is 
connected  with  many  a  benefit. 

A  year  or  so  ago  radio  actors  traveled 
out  into  one  of  Manhattan's  suburbs,  rode 
on  a  ferry-boat  across  an  ice-ridden  bay  to 
play  a  benefit  for  this  Boswell.  One  of 
the  country's  leading  kilocycle  comedians 
made  a  trip  from  Philadelphia,  and  re- 
turned the  same  night  to  please  this  jour- 
nalistic master  of  ceremonies. 

All  these  actors  who  played  that  benefit 
in  a  blizzard  said  radio  criticism,  especially 
in  New  York,  meant  nothing.  But  they  all 
risked  their  lives,  broke  up  their  schedule, 
travelled  many  miles  to  do  tricks  for 
nothing  for  a  man  they  hardly  knew.  It 
is  one  of  radio's  unwritten  laws  to  despise 
but  never  to  offend  a  newspaperman  who 
has  a  radio  column. 

I  ran  the  New  York  World  Telegram's 
radio  page  for  two  years.  I  know  per- 1 
sonally  or  have  interviewed  every  leadin? 
funny  fellow  before  the  American  micro- 
phone. Every  one  spends  his  spare  time 
searching  for  fresh  gags,  employing  com- 
edy writers  or  thinking  up  new  angles  for 
laughter.  But  most  of  them — Fred  Allen 
is  the  only  exception — will  tell  you  they 
deliberately  use  old  gags  because  that  is' 
what  you  and  I  want  as  we  sit  on  the  other 
side  of  the  loud  speaker. 

There  you  are. 

You  can't  explain  them.  You  can't  find 
them  on  any  record.  But  they  are  the  un- 
written laws  of  radio.

Will  Conrad 
Marry  Mary? 

(Continued  from  page  31) 


.•bellions,   Mary  never  made  a  decision 

I  her  own.  Her  parents  were  in  the 
ibit  of  patting  her  on  the  head,  so  to 
>eak,  and  saying :  "There,  there,  dear 
lild,  we'll  take  care  of  all  life's  burdens 
>r  you." 

On  the  other  hand,  Conrad  has  a  rug- 
:d,  sturdy  Yankee  independence  which 
traded  Mary  tremendously.  When  Con- 
id  had  been  in  trouble,  when  he  had  been 
;cked  out  of  college  for  some  youthful 
ror,  he  had  paid  the  piper.  He  never 
eat  back  to  his  family  to  ask  for  help, 
e  did  everything  on  his  own.  Always 
:  made  his  own  decisions.  He  had 
ruggled  and  fought  for  success.  When 
■cessary,  he  even  had  dug  ditches,  and 

Wasn't  ashamed  to  admit  it. 
By  some  miracle  of  fate  they  had  met 
ist  at  that  moment  in  each  of  their  lives 
hen  they  most  needed  each  other.  Since 
e  death  of  his  wife  Conrad  had  been 
Dody  and  sulky,  withdrawing  more  and 
ore  into  his  own  thoughts.     Often  it 
enied  almost  as  if  he  had  forgotten  what 
meant  to  play,  to  find  joy  and  happiness 
the  little  things  in  life.  He  knew  plenty 
people,  but  none  of  them  mattered.  He 
id  shared  so  much  with  Madeleine  that, 
>\v  that  he  was  bereft  of  her,  he  had 
'thing  left  to  share  with  anyone. 
Mary  also  was  facing  the  most  difficult 
riod  of  her  life.    At  the  age  of  seven- 
en,  in  one  of  her  very  few  rebellions 
ainst  her  parents'  wishes,  she  had  mar- 
i.'d  red-headed,  attractive  Courtland,  the 
liege  football  hero.     Neither  of  them 
ally  was  ready  for  the  responsibilities 
marriage.  Mary  was  spoiled  and  babied 
her  doting  parents,  and  Courtland  was 

II  going  to  college. 

Two  adoring  mothers,  Mary's  and 
mrtland's,  who  had  their  fingers  in 
ery  pie.  added  to  the  complications  of 
e  marriage.  They  meant  well,  but 
ey  couldn't  get  used  to  the  idea  that 

was  time  for  Mary  and  Courtland  to 
id  their  own  lives.  They  told  them 
iat  kind  of  a  home  to  live  in,  how  much 

spend  for  rent,  and  even  what  kind  of 
rniture  to  choose.     When   Mary  gave 

dinner  party,  her  mother  would  come 
er  with  her  maid  and  say :  "Oh,  my 
ar,  I  know  you  children  couldn't  man- 
e  this  by  yourself.  There's  so  much 
»rk  to  do."  Then  Courtland's  mother 
>uld  come  over  with  her  maid  and  she, 
\\  would  offer  to  help. 
Even  when  Mary  and  Courtland  had  a 
n  and  daughter  of  their  own,  their  par- 
ts wouldn't  leave  them  to  their  own 
•vices.    They  told  them  just  exactly  how 

bring  up  their  children,  and  even  lec- 

ed  them  on  such  matters  as  whether 
-    children    should     wear     socks  or 

ckings. 

Against  all  this  Mary  finally  rebelled.

'pie  run  her,  and  now  she  was  begin- 
iff  to  realize  that  she  would  have  to  do 
nething  about  it.  She  begged  Courtland

Courtland  couldn't  sec  it.  And  so  the 
breach  widened  between  them,  till  they 
realized  that  their  marriage  was  only  an 
empty  husk. 

Finally  they  got  a  divorce  and  Mary 
came  North.  It  was  at  just  about  his 
time  that  Mary  met  Conrad.  Having  bro- 
ken away  from  the  yoke  of  her  family, 
having  severed  the  bond  of  a  hopeless 
marriage,  she  needed  companionship  and 
sane,  impersonal  advice. 

With  Mary,  Conrad  recaptured  once 
more  his  zest  for  life.  How  could  he 
mope  when  they  went  to  the  roof  of  the 
Biltmore  and  danced  together,  while 
Mary's  powder  blue  organdy  whirled 
around  her  in  a  gay  cascade?  How  could 
he  mope  when  they  went  to  plays  together 
and  Conrad  found  himself  loving  the  magic 
enchantment  of  the  stage  as  he  never  had 
loved  it  before  in  his  life? 

Mary  made  him  take  up  horseback  rid- 
ing, at  which  she  excelled.  She  made  him 
go  back  to  his  golf  and  tennis,  which  he 
had  been  neglecting.  They  went  driving 
together  in  Conrad's  car,  with  the  wind 
rumpling  Mary's  hair.  They  walked 
through  the  park  together  and  counted  it 
a  miracle  that  they  both  could  find  such 
happiness  in  simple  things,  in  the  way 
the  wind  rippled  through  the  leaves,  in  the 
way  Conrad's  little  Scottie  barked  at  their 
heels,  in  the  way  the  children  ran  gayly 
through  the  park. 

But  if  Mary  taught  Conrad  how  to 
play,  he  gave  her  a  gift  equally  precious. 
He  found  her  timid,  afraid  of  life,  afraid 
she  wouldn't  make  good,  and  he  gave  her 
the  great  gift  of  his  faith  in  her. 

"You  have  a  lovely  voice,"  he  told  her 
sincerely.  "Don't  be  ashamed  of  it  be- 
cause it's  untrained.  Your  voice  is  natu- 
rally placed,  which  is  one  of  the  finest 
things  in  the  world."  And  he  taught  her 
the  little  things  about  singing  that  he 
himself  had  learned,  till  her  tones  poured 
out  like  molten  gold. 

One  day  she  came  to  him  in  great  glee. 
So-and-So  had  heard  her  sing  and  had 
promised  her  the  moon  with  a  couple  of 
planets  thrown  in.  Her  eyes  shone  as 
she  told  Conrad  about  it.  He  hated  to 
disillusion  her,  but  from  experience  he 
knew  how  little  those  promises  meant. 
He  remembered  how  they  had  stalled  him 
for  a  year  at  the  broadcasting  studios  be- 
fore they  finally  gave  him  a  chance. 

"Mary,  Mary,  what  am  I  going  to  do 
with  you?"  he  sighed.  "When  will  you 
learn  that  promises  never  yet  buttered 
any  parsnips?  So-and-So  is  very  glib, 
I  know,  but  he  doesn't  mean  half  he  says." 

Though  it  was  a  continual  heartache  to 
Conrad  to  find  Mary  so  naive  and  trust- 
ing, where  it  was  necessary  to  be  hard 
and  skeptical,  there  were  other  things 
about  her  that  he  found  enchanting. 

Then  one  day  he  and  Mary  w'ere  at 
a  dinner  given  by  Margot,  a  girl  whom 
she  had  known  back  home.  Margot  had 
married  into  a  very  wealthy  family,  and 
it  had  gone  to  her  head  a  little.  "My 
deah,"  she  said  to  Mary,  "how  do  you 
do?"  And  then  she  sighed  and  waved  her 
hand  expansively  and  said,  "My  deah.  I 
wonder  where  I  should  put  this  vahse, 
over  in  the  bahsket  or  " 

But  Mary  had  had  enough.  With  a 
gentle  ripple  of  laughter  she  said,  "Mar- 
got, is  that  a  Continental  accent  or  what 
is  it?  For  heaven's  sake,  drop  it  while 
I'm  around.    You  can  use  it  to  impress 


people  who  don't  know  you,  but  we  li\ 
next  door  to  each  other  for  seven  year 

Margot  came  back  to  earth.    She  did 
look    hurt,   only    amused.  "Mary," 
sighed,  "will  you  never  change?" 
Conrad  beamed. 

It  all  sounds  as  if  Conrad  Thiba 
and  Mary  Courtland  were  just  made  i 
each  other,  doesn't  it?  Winchell  sa 
it's  love.    The  columnists  say  it's  love. 

Then  why  is  it  that  when  you  ask  th< 
two  people  whether  they  have  any  pla 
for  marriage,  they  become  evasive? 

"Am  I  in  love  with  Conrad  Thibault 
Mary  throws  your  question  back  to  y< 
"He's  the  grandest  friend  I  ever  had,  t 
what  is  love?" 

And  Conrad  said  to  me,  "Our  knowi 
each  other  began  with  friendship,  a 
between  you  and  me,  that's  the  way 
think  it'll  end.  No,  I  don't  mean  that 
will  end,  but  I  do  mean  that  it  nev 
will  develop  into  anything  more  th 
friendship." 

Yet  I  know  that  it  isn't  the  old  hoo< 
If  you  were  young  and  beautiful  and  h 
been  bitterly  disillusioned  by  one  ma 
riage,  wouldn't  you  hesitate  before  y> 
married  again?  If  in  addition  to  that,  y< 
were  a  mother  with  two  children  of  yo 
own,  would  you  take  a  chance  on  marr 
ing  a  man  who  was  wrapped  up  in  1 
career?  Would  you  be  willing  to  trt 
him  to  decide  how  to  bring  those  t\ 
children   up?     That   is   Mary's  problei 

As  for  Conrad's — if  you  were  your 
handsome,  a  radio  idol,  would  you 
willing  suddenly  to  burden  yourself  I 
hieing  to  the  altar  with  a  divorcee  wl1 
has  two  children  by  a  previous  marriag' 
Or  would  you  say  as  Conrad  does :  "O 
knowing  each  other  began  with  frien 
ship  and  I  have  a  hunch  it  will  end  wi 
friendship"? 

And  there's  something  more.  F< 
a  long  time  Conrad  has  been  in  love  wi 
a  memory,  the  memory  of  the  worn: 
who  starved  and  slaved  for  him,  wl 
risked  her  whole  life's  happiness  wh« 
he  had  nothing  to  offer  her  save  his  lov 
If  Mary  ever  marries  Conrad  she  w; 
have  to  live  up  to  a  perfect  memor 
Every  fault  she  has,  every  mistake  si 
makes  will  be  magnified  because  Conrs 
unconsciously  will  compare  her  with  tl 
woman  he  idolized  and  idealized.  It 
one  thing  to  supplant  a  woman  who  hi 
failed  at  marriage,  leaving  the  memor 
of  her  flaws.  But  it's  another  thing  t 
try  to  live  up  to  an  ideal  and  perfec 
love.    Would  you  be  willing  to  try  it? 

Whether  these  two  marry  each  othe 
or  not,  there  are  breakers  ahead.  Peopl 
can't  remain  just  friends,  when  there 
a  tremendous  attraction  between  then 
Unless  they  decide  to  marry  in  spite 
obstacles  some  day,  I  suppose,  there  wi 
be  a  little  notice  in  the  gossip  column' 
saying  that  Mary  Courtland  and  Conra 
Thibault  are  no  longer  seeing  each  othei 
Some  day,  I  suppose,  these  two  will  b 
eating  out  their  hearts  for  each  othei 
Some  day  their  friendship  will  end,  whe

Kenny  Sargent- 
Lesson  in  Love 

{Continued  from  page  39) 


wife  smiled  privately.  He  did  not  realize 
it,  of  course,  but  for  a  whole  year  Dot 
had  been  telling  him  that  he  was  good 
enough  to  crash  the  recording  business. 
Enough  pep  talk,  and  eventually  he  grew 
to  believe  so  himself.    And  crashed  it. 

At  that  rate  things  were  going  along  well 
until  the   Steele  outfit  struck  its  down 
grade.   For  a  long  time  the  Sargents  spent 
their  early  morning  hours  on  a  'bus  that 
i  drove  endless  cold  miles  to  make  the  next 
.one-night  stand.    Dot  didn't  whimper,  but 
i  she  had  a  hunch  that  it  would  be  a  good 
idea  for  Kenny  to  get  out  of  the  orchestra 
while  there  still  was  an  orchestra  to  get  out 
of — instead  of  waiting  until  it  cracked  up 
i  in  some  small  town  in  Texas. 

Of  course  it  took  nerve  to  give  up  a  reg- 
ular job,  but  Kenny  had  come  to  respect 
ithose  hunches  of  Dot's,  because  they  usu- 
ally were  right.  So  back  they  treked  to 
Nashville  and  Kenny  became  one  of  the 
unemployed.  It  was  pretty  tough  going. 
And  home,  instead  of  being  in  an  expensive 
hotel,  was  a  one-room  apartment  in  the 
wrong  section  of  town.  But  it  was  a  happy, 
comfortable  home  at  that.  The  girl  was 
a  wonder  the  way  she  could  keep  up  a 
fellow's  courage!  Keep  him  believing  he 
had  stuff! 

When  at  last  a  cheap  night  club  wanted 
to  sign  him  to  a  two-years'  contract,  Kenny 
was  overcome  with  joy.  Not  so.  Dot.  She 
had  another  hunch.  That  it  might  be  better 
for  him  not  to  affiliate  with  anything  but 
the  best.  He'd  lose  prestige  if  he  did.  And 
besides,  if  he  tied  himself  up  very  far  in 
advance,  he  might  lose  other  and  better 
opportunities.  They  could  stick  it  a 
while  longer.  Something  would  happen 
soon. 

That  time,  because  the  need  to  work  and 
earn  was  nearly  driving  him  crazy,  Kenny 
almost  went  against  his  wife's  judgment. 
It  was  fortunate  that  he  didn't.  For,  six 
months  later,  he  became  a  member  of  Glen 
Gray's  Casa  Loma  Orchestra.  He  became 
serenader  de  luxe  to  fashionable  Xew  York 
in  the  Colonnades  of  Essex  House,  featured 
tenor  soloist  on  the  Camel  Caravan  broad- 
casts. And  recipient,  by  the  way,  of  more 
fan  notes  than  almost  any  three  of  radio's 
male  singers  put  together.  Sargent  was 
successful. 

Kenny  really  is  an  exceptional  young 
man.  He  was  taught,  in  the  Southern  man- 
ner, that  women  are  angels  and  are  treated 
as  such — and  he  is  a  boy  who  never  has 
outgrown  that  habit.  And  that  sincere  at- 
titude of  lofty  admiration  for  the  fair  sex 
is  the  thing,  I  believe,  that  has  made  Kenny 
Sargent  go  over.  It's  something  you  per- 
ceive in  his  manner.  And  you  hear  it  in 
his  voice. 

And  a  lot  of  his  success  is  due  to  Dot 
who.  as  long  as  she  is  his  missus,  will  still 
be  hoeing  a  tough  row,  despite  the  luxury 
that  success  finally  has  brought.  Guide  a 
singer  to  stardom  and  your  job  has  just 
started.  On  a  twenty-four-hour  stretch 
you'll  find  yourself  watching  his  colds  and

appetite  and  sleep  because  they  affect  His 
voice;  being  official  cheerer-upper  when 
he's  blue :  crawling  out  to  fix  those  six 
a.m.  breakfasts  when  the  Casa  Loma  is 
doing  early  recording ;  doing  without  a 
real  home  because  you  never  know  when 
it's  going  to  be  London,  Hollywood,  I'alm 
Beach  or  a  time-table ;  and  for  that  reason 
doing  without  the  family  you'd  like  to 
have. 

Now  and  then  you  try  to  wedge  in  some 
companionship.  He's  only  working  six 
nights  a  week  from  nine  till  three ;  and  be- 
cause you  happen  to  love  your  husband  you 
sit  up  those  six  nights,  amusing  yourself 
the  best  way  you  can  and  waiting  for  him 
to  come  home ;  knowing  all  the  time  that 
when  he  does  get  home  he'll  be  too  fagged 
to  talk,  and  that  all  the  next  day  he'll  be 
away  rehearsing  and  making  records  and 
doing  all  the  things  radio  stars  seem  to 
have  to  do  to  stay  radio  stars. 

And  then  there's  the  little  item  of  com- 
petition. Those  same  six  nights  from  nine 
till  three,  the  prettiest,  wealthiest  society 
girls  in  Manhattan  are  dancing  to  Casa 
Loma  music  because  a  fascinating  young 
man  named  Kenny  Sargent  sings  love  songs 
to  them ;  and  scores  of  other  girls  are  mob- 
bing him  at  the  stage  door  of  the  Radio 
Playhouse  after  broadcasts ;  and  others 
are  penning  their  ardor  from  points  all  over 
the  compass. 

But  the  Sargents'  marriage  is,  neverthe- 
less, a  totally  untroubled  one.  They're  deep- 
ly in  love.  I'll  agree  that,  from  the  femi- 
nine-fan point,  it's  too  bad  he's  already 
taken !  But,  liking  to  hear  him  sing,  you 
can't  begrudge  him  the  marital  happiness 
that  makes  his  romantic  ballads.  And  even 
when  he  says  he  never  could  fall  in  love 
again  because  he  never  could  find  anybody 
else  like  Dot,  you  can't  bring  yourself  to 
begrudge  him  that.  Because  you  admire 
him  for  being  so  loyal. 

So  marry  your  future  radio  star,  if  you 
can  take  it.  If  you  can  stand  the  work 
and  the  infrequent  companionship  and  the 
constant  competition. 

If  you  can  take  it  all  and  love  it,  it  will 
be  because  you  are  in  love !

wanted  to  hear  it  again  !    Never  !    Never  ! 

Mother  despairingly  tried  every  other 
possible  means  to  get  me  interested  in  life 
again.  She  arranged  for  me  to  go  to  the 
theatre  with  a  friend.  As  the  drama  un- 
folded, my  companion  described  some  of 
the  action  on  the  stage.  For  the  first  time 
in  months  I  actually  forgot  my  troubles, 
and  was  really  enjoying  myself,  when  I 
felt  someone  pat  my  friend's  shoulder, 
heard  a  voice  like  ice:  "Kindly  don't  talk. 
You  disturb  those  around  you." 
;  My  friend  was  going  to  explain  but  I 
squeezed  her  hand  in  warning.  I  crouched 
in  my  seat  silently  weeping.  From  then 
on  you  couldn't  get  me  to  a  theatre. 

But  what  pleasures  zvere  there  open  for 
me?

LIPSTICK 


A  transparent,  pasteless,

that  savagely  clings  to 
lovely  lips  .  .  . 


Savagely  lovely  .  .  .  this 
freshly  different  lipstick  whose 
alluring  shades  and  seductive 
smoothness  bring  to  lips  the 
sublime  madness  of  a  moon- 
kissed  jungle  night.  Yes,  Savage  does  exactly  that ...  for 
it  colors  the  lips  a  uicked  red,  without  coating  them  with 
paste.  Apply  it  like  ordinary  lipstick  and  rub  it  in.  Like 
magic,  the  cosmetic  vanishes,  leaving  only  the  color,  which 
instantly  becomes  an  actual  part  of  the  lips.  With  Savage, 
your  lips  can  be  pastelessly,  savagely  red  all  day .  ..or  all 
night!  Four  wonderful  shades  from  which  to  choose. Their 
fresh  loveliness  simply  cannot  be  described.You  must  SEE 
them,  and  use  them  to  know  how  savage  they  really  are.

(Continued  from  page  93) 
the  blind,  and  that  appears  but  once  a 
week.  The  supply  of  books  printed  in 
Braille  was  very  small,  and  confined  mostly 
to  classics.  I  tried  having  someone  read 
to  me,  but  it  made  me  feel  so  dependent, 
so  helpless. 

One  day,  with  black  thoughts  running 
through  my  mind,  I  started  to  finger  the 
dials  of  my  radio.  Before  I  realized  it,  a 
deep  voice  was  filling  the  room : 

"Don't  feel  sorry  for  yourself,"  it  was 
saying. 

"Oh,  sure!"  I  thought  bitterly. 

Suddenly  I  was  caught  by  his  next  few 
words :  'I  had  studied  the  piano  as  a  boy. 
Later  I  chose  surgery  for  a  career  and 
spent  years  and  years  of  study  for  it.  Then 
an  automobile  accident  crushed  my  hands 
and  fingers,  making  them  forever  unfit  for 
either  surgery  or  the  piano.  .  .  ." 

I  sat  upright  and  listened  thoughtfully. 

"We  are  a  race  of  spoiled  children,"  he 
continued.  "When  we  really  meet  adver- 
sity we  become  panicky.  We  stampede. 
We  cry  for  help.  Make  a  mental  inven- 
tory of  just  what  assets  remain,  and  find 
out  what  you  can  do  about  them.  Above 
all.  don't  be  a  quitter!" 

On  and  on  went  the  strong,  vibrant 
voice.  I  felt  that  this  man  was  talking 
straight  to  me.  Giving  me  the  scolding 
I  needed.  My  friends  and  family — every- 
body— was  so  sorry  for  me,  they  didn't 
realize  that  all  their  coddling  and  pamper- 
ing and  sympathy  was  bad  for  me.  This 
man  was  talking  to  me  like  a  rational 
human  being — scolding  me  for  the  cry- 
baby I  had  become  !    And  1  liked  it ! 

I  heard  the  announcer  sav :  "That  Zi'OS 
'The  Voice  of  Experience.'  He'll  be  with 
you  again  next  H'cdncsday.  .  .  ." 

I  made  a  mental  memorandum  of  the 
time.  I  could  hardly  wait  for  Wednesday 
so  that  I  could  hear  him  again.  I'd  never 
had  time  to  listen  to  him  before. 

I  started  to  laugh.  I  had  been  living  in 
a  state  of  dread  of  one  dreary  day  after 
another.  Now.  for  the  first  time  since  I 
had  become  blind.  I  was  actually  looking 
forward  to  something ! 

The  radio  was  still  on.  Came  a  broad- 
cast from  the  Advertising  Club  luncheon. 
I  found  myself  listening  to  the  speakers : 
Alfred  E.  Smith.  Hugh  S.  Johnson.  Gene 
Tunney  ...  I  heard  the  clattering  and 
clicking  of  the  silverware  and  the  bustle 
of  the  waiters.  My  imagination  was  work- 
ing at  full  speed,  and  I  listened  to  the 
speeches,  transferred  from  my  little  den 
to  a  seat  at  a  long,  white  speakers'  table 
in  the  exclusive  clubhouse  on  Fifth  Avenue. 

Then  there  was  some  music,  and  to  my 
surprise  I  really  enjoyed  it.  Later.  Lowell 
Thomas  gave  a  complete,  up-to-the-minute 
resume  of  the  day's  news.  Why.  that  dis- 
posed of  one  of  my  biggest  problems  right 
then  and  there.  Here  was  my  newspaper 
from  now  on ! 

I  had  a  fascinating  time  that  day  dis- 
covering my  radio.  I  was  listening  to  it 
for  the  first  time.  Yes,  I  say  "for  the  first 
time,"  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  we've  had 
a  radio  in  the  house  for  years.  Before 
this,  though,  it  was  incidental  and  taken 
for  granted.  But  now  it  was  part  of  my 
life! 

That  night,  before  I  went  to  bed,  I 
thought  over  all  the  "dates"  I  had  made 
during  the  day.    There  was  my  date  with

Blondes 

why  be  blind? 

DON'T  shut  your  eyes  to  the  fact  that  blonde 
hair  requires  special  care.  Its  texture  is  so  deli- 
cate that  ordinary  shampoo  methods  may  cause  it 
lo  fade,  streak  or  darken. 

Yet  now  it's  easy  to  keep  blonde  hair  always 
lovely.  For  there  is  a  wonderful  shampoo,  called 
Blondex,  especially  made  for  blonde  hair  only,  that 
will  bring  out  all  its  rich,  golden  beauty.  Helps  keep 
light  hair  from  darkening.  Brings  back  the  true 
golden  sparkle  to  dull,  dark,  faded  and  streaked 
blonde  hair.  Not  a  dye.  No  harmful  chemicals. 
Leaves  hair  soft,  fluffy,  silky  without  using  any 
special  rinses.  Used  by  millions  of  blondes. 

To  get  a  generous  trial  package  of  Blondex  just 
send  your  name  and  address  with  10c  to  cover  cost 
of  mailing  to  Swedish  Shampoo  Laboratories,  Dept. 
06,27  West  20th  St.,  New  York  City.  Or  you  can  buy 
Blondex  at  any  good  drug  or  department  store.

'he  Voice  of  Experience"  next  Wednes- 
y,  and  then  the  Newspaper  Woman's 
ub   luncheon    next    Monday  afternoon, 
len  1  was  so  anxious  to  find  out  what 
il  made  Molly  Goldberg  so  excited  and 
irried  tonight.    And,  oh,  yes,  I  had  left 
uicy  of  ''Just  Plain  Bill"  when  she  was 
i  a  most  perplexing  fix.    I  simply  had 
learn  if  she  got  out  of  it  tomorrow. 
Why,  there  was  so  much  going  on !  And 
•t  this  morning  the  day  had  threatened 
be  as  dull  and  long  as  all  the  others. 
It  was  the  beginning  of  a  new  life  for 
.   I  forgot  myself  long  enough  to  suffer 
■A  cry  and  laugh  with  the  whole  lovable 
,  rbour  brood  of  "One  Man's  Family." 
"saw"  the  exciting  tennis  matches  in 
•  ich  Fred  Perry  won  the  championship, 
heard  Alexander  Woollcott — just  when 
!.vas  afraid  I  might  never  be  treated  to 
1  stimulating  articles  any  more, 
"very  Tuesday  night  I  sit  back  in  a  soft 
iiir  and  thrill  to  the  glorious  Palmolive 
(  rettas.     The  night  I  heard  "The  Bo- 
l.nian  Girl,"  it  was  as  vivid  and  colorful 
;  actually  seeing  it  on  the  stage.  And 
llidn't  need  anyone  to  explain  it  to  me. 


HI  page  95) 

Friday  night  I  listened  to  "The  Pause 
that  Refreshes"  program,  enjoying  the 
vocalists  and  instrumentalists.  And  Dick 
Powell — he's  always  been  my  movie  favor- 
ite. But  now  I've  got  him,  too.  I  follow 
him  in  "Hollywood  Hotel"  just  as  faith- 
fully as  when  I  used  to  wait  for  his  latest 
picture  to  reach  the  Strand. 

This  past  Fall,  I  voted  for  the  first 
time.  I  would  never  have  been  able  to 
vote  intelligently  if  the  campaign  hadn't 
been  conducted  in  such  a  large  measure 
over  the  air.  I  talked  and  argued  with 
friends,  and  got  a  genuine  thrill  of  pride 
when  I  was  complimented  on  my  knowledge 
of  the  campaign  issues. 

So  I  won  my  fight  to  live  and  think 
like  a  normal  girl  again.  I  am  regaining 
all  of  my  old  friends,  and  I've  added  some 
new  ones,  too.  I  can  talk  and  laugh  with 
them,  and  have  shown  such  a  zest  for 
living  once  more  that,  thank  heavens,  my 
friends  don't  pity  me  any  longer. 

No,  for  I  don't  need  pity.  I've  discov- 
ered something  I  was  too  blind  to  notice 
when  I  could  see !

Radio  Bows  to  Huey  Long 

(Cotitinued  from  page  15) 


•  tse  gambling   houses   and  everything." 
Vt  the  time  of  his  wedding,  Huey  Long 
Vs  a  loud-mouthed  New  Orleans  hard 
\: — and  he  was   that  because   he  was 

'  pr,  because  his  brothers  and  sisters  were 
pr.  He  was  bitter  because  he  couldn't 
1  d  a  better  job,  because  his  lack  of  good 
c'thes  and  good  manners  kept  him  out 

i)  oplaces  where  he  might  have  done  some- 

1  tig  with  himself.  He  was  sore  because 
1  could  do  nothing  with  the  reservoirs 
c  energy  boiling  within  him. 

.larriage  condensed  all  his  bitterness 
h  a  drive  for  power.  He  borrowed  four 
lidred  and  fifty  dollars,  sent  his  wife 
bk  to  Shreveport  to  live  with  her  par- 
es, and  started  studying  law  at  Tulane 
liversity  in  New  Orleans.  Nine  months 

th;r  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar.  Nine 
mths  to  go  through  a  course  that  takes 
t  normal  student  three  years, 
'vt  college  he  ran  for  every  office — and 

|  ejy  time  he  ran  he  was  defeated.  As  a 
j'e,  his  classmates  elected  him  door- 
kjper.  He  took  it  seriously  and  con- 
s  red  that  one  of  his  early  triumphs. 

\rith  his  lawyer's  diploma,  he  had  at 
lif  something  to  work  with  and  he 
Sfted.  Out  into  the  world  he  went  with 
h'  big  voice  and  his  colossal  nerve.  He 
U'<  every  case  that  came  along  with  or 
vjhout  a  fee.  He  spoke  at  every  oppor- 
t*ity.  He  discovered  quickly  that  it  was 
eler  to  fool  the  man  on  the  street  than 
man  on  the  campus.  At  last  he  got  an 
o:e.  He  was  elected  Railroad  Commis- 
si ler. 

.nd  this  young  squirt  win  mi  nobody 
*  w  or  cared  to  know — propelled  by  an 
o  whelming  desire  to  be  rich,  to  have 
Prer — would  come  to  New  York,  regis- 
tilat  a  hotel  Saturday  morning  and  sum- 
n  i  the  owner  of  a  railroad  to  his  room. 
F  a  conference  on  a  Saturday  afternoon 
Vn  offices  were  closed   when  railroad 


owners  liked  to  be  riding  their  horses  or 
sailing  their  yachts. 

"Tell  him  Huey  Long  wants  to  see  him," 
he  would  bawl  into  the  telephone.  "And 
if  he  doesn't  come  hopping,  I'll  throw  his 
railroad  out  of  Louisiana." 

The  railroad  owner  came.  Power  was 
sweet  to  this  man  who  never  had  had  any 
— balm  for  the  bitterness  of  his  spirit. 

The  legislature  tried  to  fire  him  but 
the  people  liked  him  and  he  stayed. 

Using  the  radio  and  his  sound  trucks 
he  blasted  and  broadcasted  his  way  to  the 
governorship  of  the  State.  The  Governor's 
Mansion  was  a  beautiful  old  building.  But 
Huey  didn't  like  it.  "Too  many  rats,"  he 
said.  "Too  many  clocks."  He  couldn't 
sleep.  One  evening,  he  called  up  the  State 
penitentiary  and  ordered  the  warden  to 
send  him  a  hundred  trusties.  Acting  on 
his  orders,  they  took  the  old  building  apart 
in  the  greatest  rat  hunt  since  the  Pied 
Piper.    But  the  building  was  ruined ! 

What  was  the  legislature  to  do?  They 
foamed  but  they  gave  him  the  money  for 
a  new  mansion  with  ''White  House  fea- 
tures.'' Even  in  those  days  he  was  ogling 
the  biggest  job  in  the  country.  It  didn't 
matter  to  him  how  he  went  ahead — get- 
ting ahead  was  the  main  thing. 

Then  he  pulled  down  the  State  Capitol 
and  got  an  appropriation  of  five  million 
dollars  to  put  up  a  new  modern  skyscraper 
in  its  place. 

Say  this  in  his  favor — he  has  kept  some 
of  his  promises.  He  said  he'd  pull  the 
State  out  of  the  mud  and  he  did  it  by 
building  twelve  bridges  and  laying  eighty- 
five  hundred  miles  of  good  highway.  He 
said  he  would  decrease  the  number  of 
people  in  the  State  unable  to  read  and 
write  and  he  did,  by  about  ten  per  cent., 
in  ten  years. 

Out  of  all  these  labors,  Huey,  'tis  said,

SO  TIRED,  SO  BLUE 

Till  This  ALL-VEGETABLE  Laxative 
Solved  Her  Constipation 

She  was  so  tired — depressed — always  having 
colds  and  headaches.  And  she  had  tried  so 
many  things  she  almost  despaired  of  getting 
relief.  Then  she  discovered  the  real  answer.  A 
laxative  that  gave  thorough,  natural  cleansing, 
not  mere  partial  bowel  action. 

Can  there  be  such  a  difference  in  laxatives? 
Stop  and  think  for  a  minute.  Nature's  Remedy 
(NR  Tablets)  contains  only  natural  plant  and 
vegetable  laxatives,  properly  balanced.  No 
phenol  derivatives.  Ask  any  doctor  the  differ- 
ence. You'll  be  surprised  at  the  wonderful  feel- 
ing that  follows  the  use  of  NR.  You're  so  re- 
freshed— toned  up — so  pleasantly  alive.  You'll 
want  to  give  NR's  a  fair  trial  immediately. 
They  are  so  kind  to  your  system — so  quickly 
effective  for  relieving  headaches,  colds,  bilious- 
ness, chronic  fatigue  or  bad  skin.  They're  mn- 
habit  forming — another  proof  that  nature's 
way  is  best.  The  economical  25  dose  box,  only

jk  pocketed  a  fortune.   He  is  alleged  to 
Ive  received  money  from  the  banks,  from 
iitractors,   from   all  the  business  men, 
,  and  little,  who  profited  by  his  enter- 
ses.   Twenty-five  of  his  relatives  hold 
jobs — and  each  of  them  has  a  hundred 
I  rods  securely  placed.  He  denies  all  this

Recently,  three  hundred  clothing  models 
Lked  Huey  as  their  ideal  man — "because 
rjhis  nice  curly  hair !"  He's  a  hero  to  a 
]i  of  people,  but  no  one  loves  him.  Some 
K  him.  Some  admire  him.  But  few  give 
tlji  the  honest  friendship  which  makes 
It  worth  living.   The  country  is  divided 
Wong  those  who  fear  him,  those  who 
per  at  him  and  those  who  follow  him

ija  hotel  and  no  one.  unless  he  or  she  is 
viched  for  100  per  cent.,  can  get  near 
M.  When  he  goes  to  the  State  Capitol, 
rgirds  ride  in  his  bullet-proof  limousine 
sil  in  cars  before  and  behind.   At  Baton 
Ijuge,  he  always  has  a  detachment  of  the 
r  itia  handy. 

fe  has  quit  drinking  hard  liquor  be- 
sqse  when  he  gets  drunk,  he  goes  wild. 
J  talks  too  much,  gets  into  fights.  He 
m  is  very  careful  about  his  social  con- 
rtp,  especially  the  female  ones  and  more 
eecially  the  gaudy  blondes.  Like  Win- 
he  is  more  afraid  of  being  framed 
lln  of  being  shot  at.  Uneasy  lies  the 
'Jid  that  wears  a  crown — even  if  it  is 
cry  that  of  a  kingfish  ! 

'wo  members  of  his  State  legislature, 
ibih  of  them  over  sixty,  challenged  Huey 
Ing  to  duels.  He  refused  to  fight.  "Don't 
a  body  but  old  men  want  to  fight  me?" 
iVwailed.   A  few  days  later  a  New  Or- 
fas  reporter  punched  him  in  the  jaw. 
Ktey's  guards   seized   the   reporter  and 
■file  they  held   him   Huey   socked  the 
rorter.   Brave  guy,  Huey!    In  a  Long 
l^nd  bath  club,    someone    blacked  the 
Hator's  beautiful  right  eye.  He  reported 
tft  a  "gang  of  men"  had  jumped  on  him. 
1:  members  of  the  club  and  practically 
It.  whole  country   laughed   because  the 
",ng"  turned  out  to  be  one,  small,  skinny 
Bn,  shorter  and  lighter  than  Huey. 
'  Lo  physical  courage,  maybe — but  he  has 
1<J  of  the   other   kind.    Examine  him, 
p*se.    His  awkward  body,  his  homely 
V't,  his  ditch  English.   No  one  has  been 
n-e  sneered  at,  more  investigated,  more 
■jfred  by  mud  and  epithet.    Yet  he  has 
tht  right  along.  Today  he  is  higher  than 
h  ever  was  and  the  political  wiseacres 
a  saying  that  Senator  Long  is  the  one 
Beat  to  Mr.  Roosevelt's  re-election.  It 
t<K  courage  for  him  to  keep  going. 

ight  now  he  is  digging  in  for  the  big- 
gt  offensive  of  his  career — the  drive  to 
tl  White  House.  He  is  building  a  power- 
I  radio  station  at  Louisiana  State  Uni- 
v  >ity— his  university,  his  station.  The 
ndcasts  from  that  station  will  reach 
a  but  the  remotest  corners  of  the  land, 
t  renched  behind  the  microphone,  Huey 


from  page  97) 

will  Big-Bertha  the  nation  with  his 
speeches.  He  will  be  his  own  announcer. 
He  will  kill  the  first  five  minutes  of  his 
talk  to  tell  you  frankly  :  "I  am  not  going 
to  say  anything,  I  am  just  going  to  talk 
along  for  a  while  so  why  don't  you  call 
up  five  friends  and  tell  them  to  listen  in 
on  Huey  Long?" 

Just  before  he  went  on  the  air  recently, 
to  reply  to  Gen.  Johnson,  he  said :  "There 
will  be  thirty-five  million  people  listening 
to  me  tonight.  Give  me  fifteen  more  min- 
utes and  I'll  have  the  world  listening." 

He  has  never  spoken  more  than  an  hour 
at  a  time  over  the  Radio.  Absolutely  tire- 
less and  possessing  a  station  of  his  own — 
or  practically  his  own — he  would  be  able 
to  go  on  every  day  and  speak  for  two 
hours,  three  hours,  four  hours.  But  he 
won't  do  it.  He  is  too  good  a  showman 
to  bore  his  listeners. 

The  newspapers  of  the  country  are  al- 
most solidly  against  him  but  he  snaps  his 
fingers  at  them — as  long  as  he  has  the  air 
in  which  to  fight  back.  The  Federal  Com- 
munications Commission,  which  has  the 
say  in  these  air  matters,  might  stop  him 
as  they  have  stopped  others.  But  the  Com- 
missioners don't  dare.  With  Huey  down 
on  them,  their  jobs  wouldn't  be  worth  a 
thin  dime.  The  radical  Senators,  who  see 
eye  to  eye  with  Huey  on  some  things,  do 
not  like  the  way  Radio  is  being  conducted 
in  any  case  and  would  like  nothing  better 
than  a  good,  full  grown  pretext  for  crack- 
ing down  on  the  Commission.  The  broad- 
casters— the  networks — realize  his  power 
and  any  time  he  asks  a  favor  they  trip 
over  themselves  in  their  eagerness  to  help. 

Any  time  the  old  cockalorum  gets  ready 
to  crow,  he  can  do  so.  He  has  his  own 
private  station  and  all  the  other  stations 
in  the  land. 

As  to  the  Share-the-Wealth  Plan,  over 
which  there  is  all  the  cockadoodledoo — 
that,  between  you  and  me,  is  a  gag.  It's  a 
slogan,  designed  like  all  slogans  for  the 
express  purpose  of  bringing  in  the  cus- 
tomers. Like  "Eventually,  Why  Not 
Now?"  or  "Bring  Back  the  Kaiser"  or 
"Pike's  Peak  or  Bust,"  and  all  the  others. 
Huey's  plan  simply  can't  work  and  you 
can  prove  it  yourself. 

Senator  Long  adds  up  the  wealth  of  the 
land  and  says  such  and  such  is  the  total. 
Then  he  says  he  will  divide  this  among 
all  the  people  so  that  every  grown  person 
in  the  land  will  get  five  thousand  dollars 
in  cash.  So  far,  so  good.  But — a  big  BUT 
— the  wealth  which  he  is  dividing  is  only 
about  forty  per  cent.  cash.  The  remainder 
of  this  wealth  is  factories,  apartment- 
houses,  real  estate,  machinery,  etc.  Tell 
us,  Mr.  Long,  how  do  you  propose  to 
slice  up  a  factory?  In  how  many  pieces 
can  you  cut  a  stream-lined  locomotive? 

That  rotten  spot  in  the  apple  of  happi- 
ness which  he  is  offering  the  American  peo- 
ple. Huey  knows  all  about.  He  is  too 
smart  not  to  know  it.  But  it  is  a  good 
way  to  fool  the  dopes  and  the  dunderheads, 
and  all  the  other  people  who  don't  stop  to 
figure  things  out.  It's  an  old  trick  of 
dictators  and  kingfish — the  trick  that  was 
used  by  Mussolini  and  Hitler  and  Musta- 
pha  Kemal. 

Born  in  poverty  and  fighting  enemies  all 
his  life,  Huey  Long  has,  however,  an  hon- 
est  hatred   of   the   excessively   rich — the

mi-millionaires.    I  think  his  desire  to 
ie  the   average   man   is   sincere — even 
it  ih  tlie  scheme  he  has  evolved  for  sell- 
~Ti^iimself  to  America  is  hooey. 
'    i hen  he  first  entered  the  Senate,  he 
,  aKside  Hattie  Caraway,  the  lady  sena- 
ii  from  Arkansas.     He  hardly  opened 
lisjnouth.    He  was  a  little  scared  and 
■  i  motherly  old  lady,  helped  him.  She 
_  ai  the  other  day  that  Senator  Long  is 
-u;a  kid  with  lots  of  good  stuff  in  him. 
fi  a  chance  and  the  proper  direction, 
it  an  become  one  of  the  greatest  men  of 
.it  ime. 

51  e  lady  senator  has  good  reason  to 
■Jc  kind  words  for  Huey.  Not  long 
I  he  entered  the  Senate,  Mrs.  Cara- 
I  ran  for  re-election  to  office.  When 

.  h«  started  the  odds  against  her  were 
trio  one.    And  then  Huey  roared  into 

,Jtolnsas  with  his  sound  trucks.  He 
fad  her  into  office  single-handed.  When 
Ik  counted  the  votes,  they  found  that 

'ie  Huey  had  spoken,  Hattie  had  tri- 

wed — where  he  had  not  appeared,  she 
va  badly  defeated. 

*?l's  a  big  kid,  all  right.  Remember 
Mime  the  officers  of  the  German  cruiser, 
men,  made  a  formal  call  on  him  at  his 
tot?  They  came,  gold-braided  and  cov- 
rc  with  medals.  Huey  greeted  them  in 
»ir  of  green  silk  pajamas.  The  officers 
■DO  one  look,  turned  on  their  heels  and 
Wed  out  without  a  word.  It  was  an  in- 
lilto  the  German  nation,  no  less !  The 
•friers  almost  handed  Washington  an 
iltfiatum. 

lially,  Huey  had  to  put  on  a  high  hat 
Urja  clothes-pin  coat  and  go  down  to  the 
Afand  apologize.  He  charmed  the  offi- 
:eiand  the  crew.  If  he  had  stayed  much 
01  r  they  would  all  probably  have  be- 
»i,  American  citizens  and  turned  the 
I  er  over  to  the  United  States  Navy ! 

d  stuff — yes,  but  it's  the  kind  of  cir- 
:u:vhoopee  that  has  got  him  talked  about. 


Some  say  he  does  it  deliberately.  That 
he  uses  ain'ts  and  tough  words  to  attract 
attention.  We're  paying  attention,  ri^ht 
enough.  We're  all  listening.  He  has  a 
tremendous  audience.  And  in  1936,  when 
he.  runs  for  office,  I  predict  that  he  will 
get  what  kids  usually  get  who  talk  too 
much — a  licking.  The  hair  brush  will  be 
in  the  hands  of  the  American  people. 

The  political  sharps  believe  that  Huey 
Long  is  being  taken  for  a  ride  by  the 
Republican  Party.  They  want  him  to  run 
for  the  presidency  so  that  the  race  for  the 
White  House  in  1936  will  be  between 
Roosevelt,  Long  and  a  Republican — possi- 
bly Hoover.  It's  an  old  political  sherman- 
igan.  Long  and  Roosevelt  will  divide  the 
Democratic  vote  and  Hoover,  the  third 
candidate  whoever  he  is,  will  become  Presi- 
dent. Roosevelt  will  be  defeated — but  not 
fatally.  Long,  however,  will  be  dead — 
very  and  extremely  dead,  politically. 

So  we  ask  Mr.  Long  please  to  keep  his 
foot  out  of  quicksands  and  bear-traps. 

But  Radio  being  Radio,  and  we  knowing 
so  little  about  it  you  never  can  tell  what 
the  powerful  appeal  of  a  voice  like  Huey 
Long's  will  bring  forth.  One  time  he  ex- 
plained his  secret  as  follows : 

"You  know  how  it  is  when  you  fry  an 
egg.  You  have  to  hunt  the  wood  and 
build  a  fire  and  heat  your  pan  and  brown 
your  butter.  I  let  the  other  folks  do  that. 
Then  I  come  along  and  put  the  egg  in." 

That's  the  recipe.  .  .  .  But  does  it  ac- 
count for  everything?  Suppose  the  wood 
is  wet?  Suppose  the  matches  are  wet? 
And  suppose,  Huey,  the  egg  is  a  bad  egg? 

You're  not  a  bad  egg,  yourself,  Mr. 
Long,  but — what  if  the  egg  named  "Share- 
the-Wealth,"  that  you've  dropped  in  the 
American  political  skillet,  is  bad?  And 
what  if  the  public  gets  the  stench  of  it? 
Then  what  happens  to  you,  Mr.  Huey? 

We  ask  you ! 

The  End

lr  days  they  lived  on  doughnuts.  For 
Hyal  days  they  went  without  food. 
Wm  in  the  morning  they  got  up  and 
Wji  the  weary  round  of  orchestra  bands, 

■  Rencies,  of  radio  studios.  They  audi- 
hojd  at  one  of  the  networks.  Nothing

"Xijiig  for  a  job.  One  by  one  the  kids 
pa  ied  their  belongings.  Eddie's  golf 
KMs.  His  traveling  bags.  Grace's  trav- 
el bags.  Frank's  books  and  typewriter. 
Arr  on  and  on  went  the  fruitless  search 
ioi.vork. 

1  ace  was  washing  the  boys'  under- 
WL    their    socks — washing    her  own 

■  es.  "It  was  months  before  I  wore 
■Kfd  underwear,"  she  told  me.  "I  had 
n°  "on,  no  kitchen  privileges.  When  I 
*aed  to  press  a  dress,  I'd  hang  it  up  in 


the  bathroom  and  steam  it.  Then  I'd  let 
the  cold  water  run  in  the  tub."  She 
pressed  handkerchiefs  by  holding  them 
flat  against  the  wall.  "The  only  thong 
the  boys  had  to  have  done  outside  was 
washing  their  shirts.  As  for  pressing  their 
suits,  they  guarded  them  jealously.'' 

But  never  once  during  all  that  time 
did  Eddie  allow  Grace's  spirits  to  sag. 
That  was  what  finally  made  her  realize 
how  fine  he  was. 

There  was  the  time,  for  example, 
when  they  hadn't  eaten  all  day  long. 
Sitting  shivering  in  her  fifth-story  room, 
Grace  felt  pretty  blue.  She  had  just  writ- 
ten her  family,  and  Eddie  had  helped  her 
plan  what  to  tell  them,  to  make  them 
think  that  things  were  going  smoothly.  It 
never  would  do  to  let  them  guess  the  true 
state  of  affairs.  And  Eddie  was  sure 
that  they  would  make  good ! 

But  this  night  Grace  was  hungry  and 
close    to    tears.      Their    joint  account 
showed  twenty-five  cents  to  their  credit.

he's  not  sure.  By  the  time  he  was  ten,  he 
was  busting  bronchoes  for  his  father.  At 
fourteen,  he  ran  away  with  a  circus,  but 
found  broncs  so  much  more  interesting 
than  stake-driving  that  he  quit.  On  money 
saved  working  as  a  barber  in  New  York 
City,  he  beat  his  way  back  to  his  home  in 
Butler,  Oklahoma,  and  started  his  own 
shop.  While  not  shearing  or  shaving,  he 
taught  himself  how  to  play  the  guitar.  He 
went  into  vaudeville,  then  into  making 
records  at  which  he  made  records.  Some 
of  his  discs  sold  as  high  as  seven  hundred 
and  fifty  thousand.  His  earnings  from 
them  for  1927  to  1928  were  nearly  forty- 
eight  thousand  dollars.  Thanks  for  the 
interview.    Good  day. 

Reporter:  Hold  on,  now.  How  about  the 
cast  of  "Dangerous  Paradise?" 

Answer  Man :  Well,  probably  most  of 
the  characters  will  be  changed  soon  after 
this  appears,  but  here  they  are :  Gail 
Brewster,  Elsie  Hitz;  Dan  Gentry,  Nick 
Dawson ;  Daisy,  Helen  Choat  McGuire ; 
Malcolm  Burleigh,  Frank  Readick ;  (anh, 
anh,  anh!  He's  "The  Shadow,"  too)  ; 
Aida,  Dorothy  Hall;  Professor  Snead, 
Julian  Noa;  Sonia,  Agnes  Moorehead ; 
Toy  Lung,  Allan  Devitt,  and  Carl  Bixby, 
author.  Good  day. 

Reporter:  Certainly  is.  As  long  as  you're 
casting  about,  how  about  the  members  of 
the  Cavaliers'  Quartet? 

Answer  Man:  John  Keating,  first  tenor; 
Morton  Bowe,  second  tenor ;  John  Segal, 
baritone ;  Stanley  McClelland,  bass ;  Lee 
"Buddy"  Montgomery,  pianist-arranger. 
Well,  thanks,  Mr.  Reporter,  and  so  long. 

Reporter:  Right  you  are.  Everyone 
wants  to  know  about  this  heckler,  Sam 
Schlepperman,  on  Jack  Benny's  program. 
I  won't  go  until  you've  told  me  something. 

Answer  Man:  Boy,  did  I  laugh!  I 
mean,  his  real  name,  as  he's  been  known 
in  vaudeville  and  musical  comedy,  is  Sam 
Hearn.  But  it  seems  there  is  a  lawyer  in 
New  York  named  Samuel  Schlepperman 
and  he  started  a  lot  of  legal  fiddle-de-dees 
to  stop  Hearn  from  using  his  name  on  the 
air.  Subjected  him  to  ridicule,  he  said. 
Well,  the  matter  was  patched  up,  and  now 
Lawyer  Schlepperman  and  the  comedian 
who  plays  under  that  name  on  the  Benny 
program  are  friends.    Thank  you  for  the 


interview.      God    speed    you,  Repr

"I'm  not  hungry,"  Eddie  lied  manfully. 
'I  think  I'll  go  out  for  a  few  minutes." 

Grace  could  hear  him  singing  loudly 
is  he  walked  down  the  steps.  And  re- 
butment burned  in  her  heart.  Here  she 
,vas  starving,  and  Eddie  walked  out  on 
ier,  singing  and  laughing !  She  threw 
lersclf  on  her  bed,  and  began  to  cry. 

About  fifteen  minutes  later  there  was 
i  knock  on  the  door.  Eddie  came  in, 
till  grinning,  with  the  biggest  silver  soup 
ureen  Grace  ever  had  seen,  full  of  steam- 
p.g  minestrone,  and  a  whole  loaf  of  Ital- 
an  bread  alongside  it  on  the  platter. 

He  had  known  that  without  money  he 
ouldn't  get  food  in  the  restaurant  down- 
tairs.  But  the  cook,  an  Italian,  might  be 
asy  to  handle.  .  .  .  All  the  way  down 
he  steps  Eddie  had  sung  Italian  arias.  It 
vorked !  When  he  reached  the  kitchen, 
here  stood  the  cook,  eyes  a-sparkle,  hum- 
ning  gaily.  Together  they  sang  arias, 
.ike  most  Italians,  the  cook  was  fond  of 
'ood  music. 

I  Then,  when  the  proper  spirit  of  cam- 
raderie  had  been  created,  Eddie  said :  "I 
ame  down  for  a  little  soup." 

]  That  night  they  feasted. 
And  then  Eddie  began  to  realize  what 

'  good  sport  Grace  was. 

"One  day,"  he  told  me,  "after  a  par- 
icularly  weary  round  of  useless  audi- 
ions,  I  pawned  my  frat  pin.  It  was  al- 
lost  the  last  thing  to  go.  Even  the  ring 
irace's  mother  had  given  her  as  a  little 
irl  went  before   it.     I  got   eight  dol- 

firs  for  the  pin." 
That  night  they  went  out  to  a  little 
rench  restaurant,  to  celebrate.  Eddie 
rdered  dinner.  The  onion  soup  was  a 
ttle  slow  in  coming,  so  he  said  :  "Since 
c're  celebrating  already,  how  about  a 
ttle  wine?" 

I  "Well,  if  it  isn't  too  expensive,"  Grace 
aid.  "Remember,  we've  got  to  make 
lis  eight  dollars  do  for  food  for  at  least 
.vo  weeks."  Grace  was  the  budget  lady. 
I  A  half  bottle  of  wine  was  fifty  cents; 
l  whole  one,  a  dollar.  "We'll  have  a 
tattle,"  Eddie  said  firmly. 
|  The  wine  tasted  like  nectar.  They  fin- 
Ihed  it.  Still  the  soup  didn't  come.  "How 
tout  a  cocktail  all  around?"  Eddie  sug- 
ested. 

Frank  smiled  assent. 
!  "Really,  boys,"  Grace  demurred,  "we'd 
etter  not." 

"Oh,  that's  all  right,"  Eddie  said.  "I'm 
lire  I'll  have  a  job  tomorrow.  Why,  I 
m't  miss  always,  Gracie.  Everything 
.ill  be  O.  K."  To  the  waiter:  "Bring  on 
ie  Martinis." 

"Well,  we  kept  it  up,"  Eddie  told  me. 

\nd  Grace,  being  a  good  sport,  joined 

>.  When  we  walked  out  of  that  restau- 
hnt,  we  had  forty  cents  left  of  the  eight 
pilars !     Not  once  did   Grace  comment 

i  how  silly  it  was  to  drink  our  money

away.  The  next  day  she  cheerfully  went 
back  to  our  semi-starvation.  Never  once 
did  she  say,  when  she  was  hungry  :  'I  told 
you  so.'  Who  wouldn't  fall  for  a  girl 
like  that?" 

Finally  Lady  Luck  smiled  upon  them. 
Miss  Jessie  Ball  of  the  program  depart- 
ment of  a  national  network,  agreed  to 
give  them  an  audition. 

"We  had  prepared  just  two  numbers  as 
a  duet,"  they  told  me.  Petting  in  the  Park 
and  Together  We  Two.  We  sang  them 
both  for  Miss  Ball." 

"That's  fine,"  she  said.  "Of  course 
you  know  more?" 

"Thousands,"  Eddie  lied  cheerfully, 
while  they  quaked  for  fear  she  might 
ask  for  another. 

As  a  result,  they  landed  on  The  Morn- 
ing Parade,  where  they  were  on  about 
once  every  two  weeks.  For  each  broad- 
cast they  got  ten  dollars  apiece. 

That  was  a  wedge,  but  a  pretty  slim 
one.  For  three  months  they  kept  on  with 
this  occasional  work.  Finally  the  three 
held  a  council  of  war.  They  just 
couldn't  get  along  on  ten  dollars  every 
few  weeks ! 

"There  are  so  many  singing  duets,  we 
ought  to  do  something  different,"  Grace 
said. 

Romance  was  already  in  the  air,  I  be- 
lieve. For  they  conceived  a  series  of  ex- 
periences in  the  lives  of  a  young  honey- 
mooning couple.  They  sat  and  discussed 
the  idea,  as  they  do  now  with  each  skit. 
Eddie  wrote  the  first  sketch.  Through 
Miss  Ball  they  got  an  audition  before  the 
Audition  Board.  That  was  on  a  Friday. 
On  Monday  morning  they  started  on  a 
tour-a-week  series  over  the  network. 

That  was  in  May,  1934.  Since  then 
they've  been  going  strong.  And  their 
romance  is  blossoming. 

"It's  funny,"  Eddie  told  me,  "how 
Grace  and  I  agree  about  everything.  She 
is  a  sensational  girl.  She  laughs  at  what- 
ever I  say:  she's  interested  in  every- 
thing I'm  interested  in,  from  honky-tonk 
saloons  to  prize  fights,  from  sculpture  to 
opera.  And  can  she  cook !  Better  than 
my  mother.  But  don't  you  dare  say  that.  | 
I  eat  dinner  there  several  times  a  week." 

Eddie  and  Frank  Wilson  live  in  Green- 
wich Village.  Grace,  her  sister  (a  stu- 
dent), and  another  girl  have  a  little 
apartment  on  Seventy-first  Street. 

Ask  Grace  when  she  and  Eddie  will  be 
married,  and  she  blushes  prettily  and  says : 
"We're  too  busy  to  think  of  that." 

Ask  Eddie  when  he  proposed  to  Grace, 
and  when  "Mr.  and  Mrs."  will  be  their 
name,  and  he'll  grin  and  say  :  "Who  ever 
said  I  proposed?  I  just  said  I  love  Grace 
and  she's  the  grandest  girl  in  the  world." 

And  Grace  blushes  some  more.  So  you 
can  form  your  own  conclusions. 

The  End 


It  soon  will  be  the  time  of  year  to  feature  eg<:  ami 
salad  dishes.  Some  of  Annette  Hanshaw's  favorites 
along  these  lines  are  featured  in  July  Radio  Stars 
Cooking  School.  Also  included  is  a  recipe  for  a 
deli  cious  chocolate  sponge  cake.  Don't  miss  this 
fascinating  and  helpful  department  next  month. 


Here  is  something 
really  new  in  face 
powder  .  .  .  some- 
thing you  are  sure 
to  welcome.  A 
powder  made  on  a 
very  different  kind 

of  base,  so  fine,  so  soft,  this  powder  hugs  the  skin  at 
though  actually  a  part  of  it.  Try  it.  Sec  for  yourself,  if 
ever  you  knew  a  powder  to  stay  on  so  long  . .  .  and 
smooth  all  the  while  it  stays.  There'*  another  thrill  in  it 
too!  The  fineness  that  lets  Savage  cling  so  endlessly,  also 
makes  the  skin  appear  more  truly  porclcss,  smoother, 
more  inviting  to  the  eyes.  And  the  thrill  that  there 
is  in  touching  a  Savage  powdered  skin  could  be  told 
you  only  by  someone  elie.'Thcrc

b  unless  the  thousand  are  put  up  to  be

_Sh  Is  Life— 

i  my  wanderings  around  the  studios, 
I  ave  watched  the  heartbreaking  way  in 
w'ch  the  young  and  promising  often  are 
I  iced  to  nothing.  Usually  it  is  through 
I  Fault  of  their  own. 

or  instance,  how  many  of  you  have 
tudered  what  has  happened  to  Rowene 
V  liams,  whose  name  was  changed  to  Jane

C;  Man's  Poison 

r  falter  O'Keefe  sat  with  me  in  an  audi- 
ti-room  last  night  and  we  listened  to 
S  >pnagle  and  Budd  put  on  their  new 
siaining  show  for  Columbia. 

They're  back  again,''  O'Keefe  said  after 
see  of  their  magnificent  tomfoolery.  "This 
trg  Columbia  is  doing — letting  them  pan 

*rao,  sponsors,  auditions,  commercials,  an- 
ii'  icers,  me,  everything  they  find  goofy 

;aht  it — will  put  them  right  back  where 

;  tr  belong — head  and  shoulders  above  the 
re  of  us." 

little  later,  O'Keefe  and  I  caught  a 
-cvof  coffee  with  the  two  comics  before 
tb,  went  back  to  the  Roxy  for  a  personal 
aparance.  A  strange  thing  happened.  It's 
wih  recording. 

.oop,  who  writes  the  foolishness  for 
thteam,  was  sipping  his  java  when  the 
.gild  O'Keefe  guy  snapped  his  fingers 
Kaenly.  "Gosh,  Toots,  I  forgot.  I  wrote 
*h  this  afternoon,  and  can't  use  it.  You 
im  it  be  able  to."  He  pulled  a  folded 
j«r  t  of  yellow  copy  paper  and  handed  it 
•ess  the  table. 

\  iwell,"  grinned  Stoop,  reading.  "I  can 
iw  c  it  up  in  half  an  hour.''  He  grinned 
an  :  broadly,  reached  into  his  own  pocket, 
■»rj  extracted  a  shabby  sheet  of  paper, 
m  'h  bore  a  typical  O'Keefe  situation, 
«c  eived  by  Stoop  in  the  wild  scramble 
fo  ideas.

G/  College  Boys 

I  Ipu  have  noticed  the  gay  cameraderie 
i  ofijie  Waring  Pennsylvanians  during  their 
ut(|dcasts,  but  if  only  I  could  smuggle 
w<|into  one  of  their  rehearsals!  There's 
difference.  The  gaiety  is  gone,  and  in 
litfclace  is  a  strained  nervousness.  The 
|m|cians  and  singers  laugh  rarely.  As  I 
Iwlhed   them  not   long  ago,  Rosemary 

l  a  WaS  smgm&  a  sonS-    Near  the  end 
tofj  she  stopped,  obviously  at  a  loss  be- 
cai|e  her  voice  had  clashed  with  a  note 
Plplee  Club  was  humming.    "Don't  you 
j«;v  what  to  do?"  Fred  Waring  asked, 
■u  did  know  it  two  days  ago."  Rose- 


mary didn't  speak ;  she  only  bit  her  lip. 

After  Waring  had  sung  the  proper  end- 
ing for  Rosemary,  Stella  Friend  and  her 
Fellas  rehearsed.  The  quartette  is  taking 
the  place  of  the  Smoothies,  Babs  Ryan 
and  her  Brothers.  Babs  Ryan's  brothers 
were  not  her  brothers  and  things  were  not 
so  smooth.  One  was  her  husband ;  the 
other  her  brother-in-law.  She  divorced 
her  husband  not  long  ago  and  the  new 
Stella  Friend  unit  moved  in. 

Comment:     Or    Is   Winchell   a  Fake 
Name? 

Walter  Winchell's  secretary  saw  me  in 
Radio  City  the  other  Sunday  and  asked  if 
the  man  who  did  our  article,  "Will  They 
Kill  Winchellf"  used  a  nom-de-plume.  I 
told  her  George  Kent  was  a  real  guy ; 
then  went  in  to  listen  to  her  boss  do  his 
weekly  stint. 

Winchell  works  in  a  tiny  studio  and  sits 
before  the  mike  as  though  he  were  going 
to  jump  into  it  at  any  moment.  He  lights 
cigarettes — though  it's  against  the  rules 
and  a  page  would  be  fired  for  doing  it — 
and  builds  up  nervousness  until  it's  time 
to  start  his  flashes. 

He  makes  his  voice  sound  tinny,  and  it's 
too  bad ;  he  has  such  a  pleasant  voice, 
really,  as  the  Ben  Bernie  guest  shots  will 
attest.  Besides,  the  nervous  tension  neces- 
sary for  that  high-geared  chatter  is  con- 
ducive to  mistakes.  And  even  Winchell 
can't  proofread  errors  on  the  air. 

The  Children's  Hour 

Joe  Penner,  the  old  heart  player,  is  doing 
a  kid  program ! 

Ha,  ha!  you  say?  I  said  it,  too,  until 
Joe  gave  me  some  figures.  It  is  concluded 
by  the  people  who  give  Joe  the  air  that  as 
many  children  as  grown-ups  listen  to  his 
program.  That  is  the  reason  he  has  aban- 
doned such  lines  as  "You  nasty  man,"  and 
"Don't  never  do  that."  One  school,  he 
learned  not  long  ago,  placed  this  notice 
on  the  black-board:  "Any  child  heard  imi- 
tating Joe  Penner  will  stay  one  hour  after 
school."  Which  should  squelch  the  critics 
who  say  he's  slipping  because  no  more 
Penner  lines  sweep  the  country. 

False  Notes 

That  band  billed  by  XP>C  as  Whispering 
Jack  Smith's  is  really  led  by  Arnold  John- 
son, foremost  of  the  CBS  orch  leaders,  I 
learn.  .  .  .  Frank  Parker,  interviewed  by 
the  magazines  as  the  broken-hearted  singer 
who  has  given  up  love,  really  is  cuh-razy 
about  it. 

Addition 

I  wouldn't  be  at  all  surprised  if  the 
Clara,  Lu  V  Em  sketch  should  suddenly 
include  the  adventures  of  a  small  child. 
Neither  should  you,  for  I'm  telling  you 
that  Lu  (Mrs.  Howard  Bcrolzhcimer)  has 
just  adopted  a  six-weeks-old  baby,  whom 
she  and  her  husband  have  named  David. 
Both  the  other  girls  are  married,  but  they 
have  no  children.

i<ADIO  STARS 


The  Listeners'  League  Gazette 

(Continued  from  ftujc  10) 


built;  and  (3)  to  protect  listeners  from 
poor  and  objectionable  programs. 

The  organization  will  take  the  form  of 
fan  clubs  located  all  over  the  country  and 
blended  into  one  national  unit.  Radio 
artists,  to  whom  the  plan  has  been  ex- 
plained, see  in  this  move  an  excellent  op- 
portunity to  unite  their  many  fans  into 
an  organization  of  such  strength  that  the 
Voice  of  these  listeners  will  be  an  im- 
portant factor  in  shaping  artists'  radio 
careers.  Fans  who  have  discussed  the  idea 
with  the  League's  sponsor,  Radio  Stars 
Magazine,  have  indicated  their  desire  to 
affiliate  with  the  League  to  better  su;':  "  ( 
the  stars  who  are  their  favorites. 

The  League  therefore  extends  to  all 
radio  fans  who  have  already  formed  fan 
clubs  to  have  those  clubs  affiliate  with  the 
League.  An  invitation,  too,  is  extended  to 
all  fans  who  are  not  now  members  of 
any  particular  fan  club. 

The  method  of  organizing  clubs  in  all 
sections  of  the  country  and  blending  them 
into  one  national  unit  has  been  explained 
by  the  League  as  follows : 

In  every  city,  large  or  small,  fan  clubs 
will  be  organized  in  behalf  of  various  ar- 
tists. These  local  fan  clubs  will  be  known 
as  chapters.  In  other  words,  a  sort  of 
fraternity  with  many  chapters  in  many 
places  but  all  a  part  of  one  national  club. 

To  give  an  example,  chapters  in  behalf 
of  Frank  Parker  will  be  formed  in  as  many 
cities  as  possible.  There  may  be  one  or 
there  may  be  fifty  chapters  organized  in 
St.  Louis,  for  instance,  all  backing  Frank 
Parker  as  their  air  favorite.  Also  in  St. 
Louis  there  may  be  several  chapters  back- 
ing Bing  Crosby,  others  formed  in  support 
of  Jane  Froman,  etc. 

Likewise,  similar  chapters  will  be  formed 
in  other  cities  throughout  the  country. 

All  the  chapters  formed  for  the  same 
artist  will  be  blended  into  an  Artist  Club. 
This  means  that  all  the  Frank  Parker 
clubs  in  Kansas  City,  New  York,  Shreve- 
port,  and  other  cities  will  be  combined  into 
the  Frank  Parker  Artist  Club.  In  the 
same  manner,  all  the  Jane  Froman  chapters 
throughout  the  land  will  be  united  to  form 
the  Jane  Froman  Artist  Club. 

These  Artist  Clubs  combined  form  the 
Listeners'  League  of  America. 

Ten  or  more  persons  are  necessary  for 
the  formation  of  a  chapter.  It  is  necessary 
that  each  member  fill  out  and  send  to  the 
League  headquarters  the  individual  mem- 
bership application.  Then  the  president  of 
the  group,  acting  in  behalf  of  each  mem- 
ber, must  send  to  headquarters  the  applica- 
tion for  a  charter.  In  other  words,  if  ten 
Bing  Crosby  fans  get  together  to  form  a 
chapter,  it  is  necessary  that  each  one  of 
the  ten  persons  send  in  his  own  individual 
membership  application,  and  then  the  presi- 
dent must  send  in  the  application  for  a 
charter.   All  can  be  sent  in  one  envelope. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  to  take 
care  of  those  individuals  who  are  prevented, 
because  of  their  residence  in  sparsely- 
populated  centers  or  because  of  other  local 
conditions,  from  finding  ten  or  more  per- 
sons in  order  to  obtain  a  Chapter  charter. 
They  are  not  to  be  excluded  from  the 
League  because  of  this.  Instead,  these 
persons  will  merely  send  in  their  indi- 
vidual membership  application  and  they 
will  be  grouped  into  one  large  Chapter 
which  will  be  known  as  the  Marconi  Chap- 
ter, which  will  have  its  headquarters  in  the 
offices  of  the  League  in  New  York  City. 


Already,  there  are  many  fan  clubs  al- 
ready organized  and  functioning  through- 
out the  country.  To  these  clubs,  the 
League  issues  a  special  invitation  for  them 
to  affiliate  with  the  national  organization 
as  soon  as  possible.  These  clubs  have  only 
to  send  in  their  individual  membership 
applications  and  their  charter  application 
and  they  will  automatically  become  affili- 
ated with  the  League. 

When  a  Chapter  has  '  -  -  organized, 
each  member  of  that  chapte.  .ill  be  sent 
a  membership  card  which  entitles  the  in- 
dividual to  all  bene^ts  cf  the  League.  The 
Chapter  will  receive  its  official  charter 
which  will  be  signed  by  the  radio  artist 
in  whose  behalf  the  Chapter  was  organized. 
Each  radio  artist  will  also  send  each  of  his 
chapters  a  portrait  autographed  and  with 
a  special  greeting  to  the  members. 

Chapters  will  be  designated  by  numbers. 
The  first  chapter  to  organize  in  behalf 
of  a  certain  star  and  have  its  application 
for  a  charter  granted  will  be  known  as 
Chapter  No.  L  For  example,  if  the  first 
chapter  to  be  organized  is  a  group  of 
Lanny  Ross  followers  in  San  Francisco, 
then  this  chapter  will  be  known  as  the 
Lanny  Ross  Chapter  No.  1. 

The  League  is  sponsored  by  Radio  Stars 
Magazine  and  has  its  headquarters  in  the 
editorial  offices  of  the  magazine  at  149 
Madison  Avenue.  New  York  City. 

Included  in  Radio  Stars  Magazine's 
sponsorship  agreement  is  a  provision  for 
one  hundred  free  subscriptions  to  the  maga- 
zine to  be  sent  to  the  presidents  of  the 
first  one  hundred  Chapters  organized.  For 
that  reason,  League  officials  urge  radio 
listeners  to  get  their  chapters  organized 
and  their  charter  applications  in  early  in 
order  to  take  advantage  of  this  free  offer. 

Next  month,  Radio  Stars  Magazine  will 
devote  space  to  the  news  of  the  League 
and  its  progress.  Those  interested  are 
asked  to  watch  this  coming  issue  for  fur- 
ther information  about  the  organization. 

Members  Receive  Benefits 

3.  To  place  at  the  disposal  of  each  Chap- 
ter a  complete  service  of  information  con- 
cerning artists.  This  will  include  material 
to  be  used  in  Chapter  meetings,  stories 
for  newspaper  use,  and  material  for  fan 
club  publications. 

4.  To  supply  a  portrait,  autographed 
with  a  special  greeting  from  the  artists, 
to  each  local  Chapter. 

5.  To  make  available,  whenever  possible, 
to  each  Chapter  the  services  of  radio  ar- 
tists to  act  as  judges  in  contests  or  to 
write  special  signed  articles  for  Chapters 
or  local  newspapers. 

6.  To  publish  in  Radio  Stars  Magazine 
news  of  members,  Chapters  and  artists,  to 
bring  about  a  closer  tieup  between  the  ar- 
tists and  their  followers. 

7.  To  bring  together  members  and  ar- 
tists when  artists  visit  cities  where  Chap- 
ters are  located.  The  League  will  attempt 
to  notify  Chapters  when  artists  are  to  visit 
their  locality. 

Artists'  Lavish  Praise 

From  Frank  Parker:  "I'm  sure  my 
fans  will  rally  to  the  cause.  And  I've 
some  swell  fans,  too.  Most  loyal  people 
you'll  ever  know." 

From  Jane  Froman  came  this  mes- 
sage: "I'm  for  it  100  per  cent.  Count 
on  me  on  everything." 

A  beautiful  message  received  was 
that   from    Madame   Ernestine  Schu- 


mann-Heink.  "They  call  me  lil 
Schuinann-Hemk,"  she  wrote.  '"]■ 
what  I  want  to  be — a  mother  to  a.l 
fans.  I  shall  appreciate  their  lette W

"Swell,"    said    I'atti    of    the    Pi<  m 
Sisters.  "Sure,  we  want  our  fans  tcl 
the  League,"  harmonized  Jane. 
think  they  will,"  added  Helen. 

"Am  I  for  it?  Now  I  ask  you,  ■ 
could  anyone  turn  down  such  an  w 
I'll  help  in  any  way  I  can."  That  a- 
sage  came  from  Vivienne  Segal. 

"I  can't  always  talk  to  my  fanJfl 
my  radio  programs,"  writes  Irene  1  it- 
ley,  "but  here's  a  chance  to  tell  :  jl 
them  how  much  I  appreciate  ■ 
loyalty.  I  sincerely  hope  they  wiat 
filiate  with  the  League  and  then  wifl 
work  together  in  a  great  wy." 

From  Countess  Olga  Albani:  "I  tt 
always  wanted  listeners  to  write  UW 
and  tell  me  frankly  their  opinion  ofl 
programs.  Then,  too,  I  should  lilfl 
know  my  fans  better.  I  believe)* 
Listeners'  League  of  America  will  tjfl 
both  purposes." 

Says  Conrad  Thibault:  "1  shal  be 
happy  to  participate  in  the  League 

"The  idea  of  blending  all  my  an 
clubs  into  one  for  greater  cooper  on 
has  always  appealed  to  me,"  said  '.M 
Etting.  "I  believe  much  more  caibe 
accomplishc'  in  that  way." 

Betty  Barthell's  message:  "If  he 
League  benefits  both  the  fan  and  he 
artist,  then  count  me  in.  I've  ah  yt 
said  that  an  artist  without  fans  i  in 
just  about  as  bad  shape  as  Sally  I  id 
without  her  fans." 

From  Hal  Kemp:  "Fans  are  my  st 
critics.  I  should  like  very  much  to  n 
them  organize  and  let  me  know  M 
what  they  think  of  Hal  Kemp  anc  ilH 
band." 

Rosaline  Greene  writes:  "I'm  100 er 
cent  for  the  idea.  Count  me  in  b;ill 
means.  I'll  cooperate  in  every  way."

Iraille,  the  system  of  touch  reading,  has 
a  ays  fascinated  me,  but  it  wasn't  until 
t  Clovernook  Home  for  the  Blind  at  Mt. 
(filthy,  Ohio,  published  the  first  number 
t>i  radio  magazine  that  I  had  the  chance 
{examine  the  method  at  first  hand.  I'm 
s  more  fascinated  now ;  and  flattered, 
tV  since  the  entire  first  issue,  including 
t  program  guide,  was  selected  from 
Fho  Stars. 

reorgia  D.  Trader,  a  trustee  of  the 
1-  tie.  tells  me  there  are  twenty-two  girls 
a  vork  in  its  printing  department.  Thirty- 
it;  girls  live  in  the  residence,  located 
a.ut  fifty  yards  from  the  shop,  and  guide 

jr^s  outline  the  connecting  walks  so  that 
U.-  may  move  back  and  forth  unassisted. 

lovernook  is  charging  only  two  dollars 
i<  yearly   subscriptions   when   they  are 

Byn  by  the  blind  and  three  dollars  when 
lraries  or  schools  buy  them.  That,  I 
s^pose,  is  because  the  organizations  can 
1'  er  afford  them.  Any  surplus  will  be 
t',ied  into  the  Home ;  but,  since  the  paper 
^expensive  and  there  is  no  revenue 
f"n  advertising,  it  appears  the  only  bene- 
fi -lovernook  will  receive  will  be  spiritual. 

Cation 

lusicians  are  notoriously  hard  to  handle. 
I  ;very  band  there  is  one  facetious  fellow, 
'  lad  who  holds  up  the  works.  I've  seen 
I  ie  Duchin,  livid  with  disgust,  leave  his 
P*io  in  the  middle  of  a  rehearsal ;  I've 
w'ched  Lennie  Hayton  rumple  his  hair  and 
s'np  his  feet  in  a  flare  of  pent-up  rage; 
a  any  other  band  leader  you  can  name 
9  his  troubles.    For  that  reason,  Frank 


Black  is  among  the  most  laudable  of  the 
baton  wielders.  He  continues  to  get  re- 
sults out  of  his  musicians  by  joking  with 
them.  Many  a  gray  hair  has  he  saved 
himself  with  a  light-hearted,  "Come  on, 
boys ;  here's  where  the  brass  gets  virile." 

Arnold  Johnson  is  another  who  jests 
his  men  into  a  fever  of  hard  work. 

Answer 

Our  Mr.  Wilson  Brown  has  just  handed 
me  an  inquiry  from  a  Los  Angeles  reader. 
I  answer :  "Yes ;  you  may  hear  Babs  Ryan 
and  her  Brothers  over  the  chains.  Dick 
Himber  tells  me  he  is  considering  them 
seriously  for  his  program. 

Long  Live  the  King! 

Seventeen  of  our  finest  bandmasters 
gathered  at  Jack  Dempsey's  restaurant  the 
other  night  to  do  homage  to  Paul  White- 
man  on  the  twentieth  anniversary  of  his 
entrance  into  the  orchestra  field  with  his 
own  band.  But  that  wasn't  the  only  scene 
of  celebration.  Paeans  of  praises  went  out 
over  the  air,  and  at  the  bars  the  boys 
hooked  their  heels  over  the  rails  and  hic- 
cupped :  "Lesh  have  thish  on  good  ol'  Paul." 

The  famous  orchestra  leaders  are  grate- 
ful to  him  for  having  changed,  through 
the  alchemy  of  his  genius,  ragtime  into 
syncopation.  And,  except  for  that  one 
guy  I  was  talking  to  on  48th  Street,  they 
can't  get  over  it  This  egg  went  into  a 
long  eulogy,  his  eyes  popping  with  his 
efforts  to  outdo  the  others.  "He's  a  great 
guy,"  he  concluded,  "but  I'm  afraid  he's 
falling  a  little  behind  some  of  we  artists."

HERE  ARE  THE  ANSWERS 


Elsie  Hitz  and  Nick  Dawson,  radio  favor- 
ites on  the  air  three  evenings  a  week. 


NEW  YORK,  May  1 — Cornered  after  days  of  evad- 
ing reporters,  Uncle  Answer  Man  today  gallantly 
defended  himself  against  accusations  of  Radio  Stars 
readers  that  he  is  too  incompetent  or  just  too  down- 
right lazy  to  (1)  Tell  how  to  get  artists'  photo- 
graphs; (2)  Tell  how  to  get  tickets  for  broadcasts; 
(3)  Answer  questions  by  mail;  (4)  Answer  ques- 
tions about  non-network  artists;  (5)  Find  out  an- 
swers to  certain  of  their  questions. 

Your  reporter  found  the  dashing  Answer  Man 
in  his  charming  New  York  City  apartment,  bristling 
with  indignation  and  a  two  days'  growth  of  beard. 
The  interview : 

(Note:  Your  reporter  happens  to  be  Unkie  A.  M. 
himself.  No  one  else  wanted  the  job  of  interview- 
ing him.  He's  been  chasing  himself  for  days,  and 
now  we've  got  him  talking  to  himself,  which  he  does 
most  of  the  time  anyhow — Editor.) 

Reporter:  Certainly  a  privilege  to  be  interviewing 
such  a  distinguished  writer,  Mr.  Answer  Man.  Now 
that  first  charge  .... 

Answer  Man:  If  you  won't  quote  me — well  any- 
way, almost  every  radio  artist  at  some  time  in  his 
career  sends  photographs  to  listeners  requesting 
them.  Few  do  it  long.  They  usually  decide  the  ex- 
pense is  too  great.  It's  impossible  to  keep  up  with 
all  of  them  and  to  know  at  any  given  time  which 
ones  are  and  which  ones  aren't  sending  them  out. 
The  only  thing  a  listd  er  can  do.  is  to  write  the 
artist  in  care -of  the  network  over  which  he  broad- 
casts and  hope  that  he  hits  him  at  the  right  time.  I 
myself  can't  send  them  to  readers.  If  it's  too  great 
an  expense  for  the  stars  with  their  salaries,  how  do 
they  think  I  can  on  my  income?  : 

Reporter:  Come,  come,  let's  not  get  heated.  About 


Extra!    A.  M.  Hurls  Defi 
At  Fans'  Charges  of 
Dilly-Dallying 


those  broadcast  tickets  now  .... 

Answer  Man:  Well,  I  can't  send  out  tickets  f<M 
broadcasts,  either.  The  listener  desiring  to  witness 
a  broadcast  should  write  the  station  or  network  over 
which  he  hears  the  program.  He  should  print 
"Ticket  Request"  on  the  envelope.  The  rest  is  like 
waiting  for  a  sweepstakes'  drawing.  If  he's  lucky, 
he'll  get  the  tickets  after  awhile.  But  he  must  re- 
member that  on  programs  such  as  Vallee's,  there  is 
a  waiting  list  of  thousands.  I  can  get  myself  or  my 
wife's  great  aunt  Clothilde  into  a  studio,  but  that's 
the  extent  of  my  prowess,  so  you  tell  the  readers,  will 
you? 

Reporter:  I  certainly  will,  you  marvelous  man.  If 
you  could  spare  a  moment  more  .... 

Answer  Man:  Flatterer!  Now  those  other  charges. 
I  can't  answer  questions  by  mail  because  I  ain't — I 
mean  I  haven't — got  time.  Too  many  of  'em.  I 
can't  answer  questions  about  non-network  artists  be- 
cause the  majority  of  readers  are  interested  in  net- 
work stars.    Have  a  cigarette? 

Reporter:  Thanks.  You  certainly  have  good  taste 
in  tohacco.  Now  I  know  you  aren't  going  to  let 
them  keep  on  saying  you're  too  lazy  to  find  out  >uch 
things  as,  for  example,  Johnnie  Green's  birthdate? 

Anszver  Man:  Why  should  I?  There's  nothing  I 
couldn't  tell  vou  about  radio  artists,  right  out  of  my 
head.    It  was  October  10th,  1908. 

Reporter:  Or  the  real  name  of  Bert  Parks,  an-s 
nouncer,  and  something  about  his  life? 

Ansxi'er  Man:  Real  name — Bertram  Parks  Jacob- 
son.  Born — December  30th,  1908,  Atlanta.  Georgia. 
Educated — Emory  College.  Network  debut  with 
Little  Jack  Little's  orchestra.  First  public  appear- 
ance was  as  impersonator  at  age  of  five  at  Luna 
Park,  N.  C.  Weight — One  hundred  and  thirty-two 
pounds.  Height — five  feet,  eleven  inches.  Black 
hair.    Brown  eyes.    Am  I  at  all  verbose? 

Reporter:  You  look  healthy  enough  to  me.  But 
you  might  use  more  words  in  telling  something  about 
that  folk  and  cowboy  singer,  Jimmy  Marvin. 

Answer  Man:  I  imagine  most  of  the  readers  want 
to  know  if  Johnny  really  was  divorced.  He  was,  and 
married  again.  He  was  born  nearly  thirty-eight 
years  ago  in  a  covered  wagon  somewhere  near  the 
boundary  lines  separating  Indian  Territory  (Okla- 
homa), Missouri,  Kansas  and  Arkansas.  He  thinks 
he's  an  Oklahoman,  but  (Continued  on  page  102)

Beauty  among  the  blossoms!  The  picturesque  Pickens 
sisters  display  the  natural  charm  and  loveliness  of  the 
traditional  Southern  beauty.  Jane,  on  the  left, 
(Center)  Helen,  (Right)  Patti,  youngest  of  the  three. 


S)  TLANTA,  GE<  iRGIA,  calls 
T/  up  romantic  fancies  of  'lark- 
eyed  Southern  belles,  peaches- 
and-cream  complexions,  magnolia 
blossoms,  picture  hats,  garden 
parties,  and  hospitable  white-pil- 
lared homes.  Some- 
how these  seem  almost 
traditional  with  the 
Old  South  in  our 
imaginations,  and  I 
found  the  Atlanta- 
Georgia- Pickens  sisters  to  be  true 
products  of  that  Old  South,  and 
that  gracious  femininity  which  we 
Northerners  have  long  admired,  and, 
I  think,  faintly  envied. 

When  I  was  casting  about  in  my 
mind  for  radio  personalities  who 
might  be  able  to  give  me  some 
especially  effective  hints  for  the 
summer  season,  it  was  but  natural 
for  me  to  pick  on  the  Pickens 
sisters.  "Bawn  and  bred"  in 
Georgia,  they  slit  mid  know  all  the 
tricks  for  keeping  cool  under  the 
scorching  sun.  I  reasoned.  Nor  was 
I  disappointed. 

Fortunately.  I  was  lucky  enough 
to  meet  ail  of  the  Pickens  sisters,  in 
an  amusing  sort  of  progressive 
fashion,  and  their  slender,  youthful, 
and  altogether  charming  mother. 
There's  Helen,  the  eldest  of  the 
sisters,  the  tallest,  the  darkest,  with 
the  slowest  and  softest  drawl ;  Jane, 
vivid,  vivacious,  the  spokesman  of

Patti.  the  youngest  and  the  faire 
skinned,  with  soft  blonde  hair

the  business  details,  an 
whose  colorful  iiru-

The  magic  of  meeting  the  Picken- 
is  that  you  like  them  wholeheartedly 
right  at  the  start.  They're  so  thor- 
oughly unaffected  and  natural.  Na- 
turalness, incidentally,  is  the  one 
best  keynote  to  strike  in  a  discussion 
of  summer  charms ;  artificiality  is  so 
entirely  out  of  place  in  a  "back  to 
nature"  scheme  of  things.  And 
surely  it  seems  appropriate  to  talk 
about  keynotes  where  the  singing 
Pickens  sisters  are  concerned,  too. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  this  business  of 
naturalness  is  going  to  be  my  ex- 
cuse for  getting  a  bit  biographical 
or  philosophical  ( or  maybe  it's  a 
mixture  of  both  )  for  the  moment, 
about  the  Pickens. 

It  isn't  such  a  far  cry  from  the 
Park  Avenue  apartment  of  the 
Pickens  sisters  in  Xew  York  to  the 
sleepy  plantation  on  which  they  were 
born,  'way  down  in  Georgia,  so  far

J  ES.  Mary  Jane,  you  do!  You're  pretty, 
f  and  you're  smart.  With  your  looks  and 
itelligence  you  should  have  been  married 
ears  ago.  And  you  ought  to  be  busy  turn- 
lg  down  dates  instead  of  wondering  what 
ou're  going  to  do  Saturday  night,  and  hop- 
lg  against  hope  that  that  certain  someone 
ill  'phone. 

low  often  have  you  wondered  why  some 
irl  you  know  is  so  popular?  She  isn't  any 
etter  looking;  she  hasn't  more  education 
lan  you  have;  but  she  has  something  that 


seems  to  attract  others,  that  makes  her  stand 
out  in  any  group  or  gathering. 

WHAT  PRICE  POPULARITY? 

What  are  the  qualities  that  make  for  popu- 
larity— for  social  and  business  success?  Why 
is  it  that  in  every  business  we  find  a  man  who 
is  an  outstanding  success?  Yet  this  man  in 
many  cases  has  no  more  business  ability  than 
some  of  the  men  who  work  for  him.  Every 
college  grade  has  a  boy  who  is  voted  the  most 
popular  fellow  in  the  class.  Mostly,  he's  just 
average  in  looks  and  ability — yet  he  has 
"something"  that  others  like  and  admire. 

THE  SECRET  OF  CHARM 


The  indefinable  "something"  that  poor  Mary  Jane  lacked  is  a  quality  called  CHARM— and 
with  charm  comes  the  development  of  personality.    Some  few  of  us  are  bom  with  a 
charming,  magnetic  personality,  but  most  of  us  must  learn  to  acquire  it.    Charm  has 
nothing  to  do  with  beauty;  with  education  or  dress.    Without  it  a  beautiful  girl  or  a 
handsome  man  remains  unknown,   inconspicuous;   with   it  they  become  warm,  living 
personalities  whose  lives  are  full  and  satisfying. 

HOW  TO  OBTAIN  CHARM  AND  PERSONALITY 

Two  rears  ago  a  prominent  physician  and  psychologist.  I>r.  Edwin  F.  Rowers,  conc-lved  the  l.l.a 
for  a' book  to  be  called  "CHARM  and  PERSONALITY — How  to  obtain  Them."   In  it  would  go  the 
results  of  long  years  of  experience  and  study  with  men  and  women,  young  and  old.    This  book  ha  a 
just  been  completed.    It  is  utterly  unlike  any  book  you  have  ever  read  or  beard  of.    Dr.  Bower* 
believes  that  everyone  can  acquire  a  warm,  magnetic  personality,  and  be  tells  how  you  and  I 
can  go  about  it  without  torturous  hours  of  study  and  effort. 

Here  is  a  veritable  encyclopedia  of  charm.  Theories  and  impractical  suggestions  are  taboo. 
\  You  will  find  sensible,  understandable  advice  on  how  to  be  charming.  It  will  tell  you  what 
\  kind  of  friends  to  acquire  .  .  .  and  bow  to  acquire  them  .  .  ,  what  to  talk  at-oit  .  .  .  when

Bertha  Brainard  told  a  lie! 

Ill  HEN  we  see  a  lovely  ers,  potentates — are  all  proud

there.  .  .  .  sides  at  the  big  executive  desk. 
This  is  the  story  of  Bertha        Jf  o  w   did   she   do  it? 


Brainard,  who 
made  her  way  to  a 
handsome  office  in 
Radio  City,  in

ages the  programs 
of  The  National  Broadcasting 
Company.  Her  name  may  not 
he  known  to  radio  fans,  hut 
every  program  which  they  hear 
over  that  network  has  been 
chosen  with  her  unerring 
taste  and  judgment. 

When  George  B.  Hill, 
President  of  The 
American  Tobacco 
Company,  decided 
that  his  organization 
should  put  a  program 
on  the  air,  he  had  to 
go  to  Bertha  Brain- 
ard. If  a  sponsor  per- 
suaded Jerome  Kern 
to  write  a  musica 
script  for  radio,  lie 
would  have  to  go  to 
Bertha  Brainard. 

"She  is  the  most 
remarkable  executive 
— leaving  sex  out  of 
the  question — that  I 
have  ever  met,"  is 
Mr.  Kern's  estimate 
of  "B.B.",  as  she  is 
known  in  Radio  City. 

In  her  office  is  a 
small  green  piano,  on 
which  are  inscribed 
the  autographs  of  the 
world's  most  notable 
men  and  women. 
Statesmen,  capitalists, 
musicians,  prizefight- 

And  here  she  is!

FORMATION  OF  LEAGUE  ALONG  LINES 

OF  FRATERNITY  ORGANIZATION 


The  Listeners'  League  of 
America  is  under  way. 

After  the  first  announce- 
ment of  its  formation  made 
last  month,  applications  for 
membership  have  been  re- 
ceived daily  in  the  League 
headquarters,  149  Madison 
Avenue,  New  York  City. 

Not  only  is  the  League 
meeting  the  universal  ap- 
proval of  the  radio  artists 
and  executives,  but  letters 
from  listeners  throughout 
the  country  indicate  their 
enthusiasm  for  the  organiza- 
tion and  the  purposes  for 
which  it  stands. 

The  League  is  designed  for 
three  principal  purposes:  (1) 
To  give  a  voice  to  the  vast 
body  of  listeners  for  the 
betterment  of  broadcasting; 
(2)  To  protect  listeners  from 
poor  and  objectionable  pro- 
grams; and  (3)  To  support 
the  artists  whose  talents 
make   broadcasting  possible. 

Formation  of  the  League 
is  along  the  lines  of  a  fra- 
ternity organization.  First 
there  are  individual  Chapters. 
These   Chapters  combine  to 


form  Artist's  Clubs,  and  va- 
rious Artist's  Clubs  com- 
bined make  up  the  Listeners' 
League  of  America. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  League 
to  aid  in  the  formation  of 
as  many  Chapters  as  possi- 
ble in  every  community  in 
support  of  the  various  artists. 
For  example:  It  is  hoped  that 
there  will  be  several  Chapters 
formed  in  support  of  Dick 
Powell  in  every  city  and

LEAGUE  IS  OPEN 
TO  FOREIGN  FANS 


The  Listeners'  League  of 
America  is  not  confined  to 
residents  of  the  United  States 
only.  This  announcement 
was  made  after  readers  in 
Canada,  Mexico  and  Europe 
had  inquired  as  to  their  status 
in  the  organization.

LEAGUE  APPROVED 
BY  RADIO  ARTISTS 


Paul  Whiteman.  Stoopnagle 
and  Budd.  Welcome 
League  Fans 


Opinions 
expressed  by 
broadcasting 
artists  and 
executives 
following  the 
formation  of 
The  Listen- 
ers' League 
of  America 
indicate  that 
the  League 
will  have  the  universal  ap- 
proval of  the  radio  business. 
Artists  see  in  the  League  an 
idea  entirely  new  to  radio 
which,  they  point  out,  will 
serve  to  fill  a  gap  which  has 
thus  far  been  missing — that 
close  and  organized  contact 
between  the  studio  and  the 
listening  audience. 

Last  month  we  printed 
the  messages  of  several 
artists.  This  month,  space 
will  not  permit  quotations 
from  all  the  other  messages 
received,  but  here  are  a  few 
picked  at  random: 

Robert  Simmons:  "I  want 
to  be  of  service  to  the 
League  in  any  way  I  can, 
and  to  my  fans  who  affiliate 
with  it." 

Stoopnagle   and  Budd: 

"We  think  it's  peachy."

Can  love  and  courage  banish  the  tragic  spectre 
that  confronts  Jimmy  Wallington  and  his  bride? 


2?y  0uttiA  Mitchell 


rHIS  is  a  story  1  hate  to  write.  1  hate  it  because 
the  hoy  and  girl  in  it  are  friends  of  mine, 
because  I  wish  so  much  that  Anita  Wallington 
wore  well  and  able  to  dance  again  instead  of  lying 
in  a  Brooklyn  hospital  at  the  doors  of  death. 

Nobody  in  radio  has  more  friends  than  Anita  and 
Jimmy  Wallington.  When  she,  the  dancer,  and  he, 
the  radio  announcer,  were  married  last  August, 
everyone  knew  it  was  a  love  match.  I  knew  it  the 
first  time  Jimmy  introduced  me  to  her.  We  were 
awarding  him  the  Best  Announcer's  Trophy,  given 
by  Radio  Stars  Magazine,  and  she  came  to  the 
studio  for  a  rehearsal  of  the  broadcast  that  made 
the  award  public.  She  was  gay  and  full  of  pride 
that  the  leading  radio  critics  of  the  country  had 
selected  Jimmy  as  America's  best  announcer.  Her 
Jimmy!  And  Jimmy's  eyes,  when  he  looked  at  her, 
were  so  happy  and  untroubled. 
That  was  January. 

This  is  April,  but  the  hope  of  springtime  does 
not  exist  for  them. 


Jimmy  Wallington  is  fighting  today  for  his  bride' 
life! 

A  few  of  the  newspapers  know  part  of  the  story,  bu| 
none  of  them  knows  all  of  it.    Xews  columns  are  col<li 
chronicles  of  dates  and  places  and  things.    I  want  to  tel 
you  of  bravery  and  a  bedside  vigil,  of  an  indomitable 
will  to  win  that  many  of  us  still  pray  may  defeat  tb 
severest  onslaught  of  the  Grim  Reaper. 

I  want  to  tell  you  what  happens  when  a  star  face| 
death. 

James  Wallington  met  Anita  Fuhrmann,  dancer,  whei 
he  announced  the  spectacular  opening  of  Radio  City' 
Music  Hall.  Later,  when  he  was  heading  a  troupe  o 
radio  stars  appearing  in  vaudeville,  he  returned  for  ;  I 
week's  engagement.  She  was  one  of  the  regular  dancer: 
in  the  music  hall,  and  she  remembered  well  his  tall,  darl 
attractiveness.  Their  friendship  deepened,  then  gripped  t 
them  suddenly  in  the  full  force  of  love. 

They  were  married  August  18th,  1934.  in  Newark,  * 
New  Jersey. 

The  honeymoon  was  brief  and  busy,  for  Jimmy  stil

tad  his  broadcasting  and  theatrical  engagement-'  to  fill. 
K  hen  it  was  over,  he  took  her  to  his  home  in  Rayside, 
.ong  Island. 

It  was  such  a  home  a>  all  lovers  must  desire,  with  slop- 
!)g  lawns  and  bright  vistas,  and  the  sparkling  waters  of 
•ong  Island  Sound  just  a  stone's  throw  away.  I  think 
|iey  were  as  completely  happy  there  as  it  is  ever  given 
,ny  couple  to  be.  I  know  that  Anita  reveled  in  being 
ain  Mrs.  James  Wellington  instead  of  Anita  Fuhr- 
onn,  the  dancer  who  had  starred  in  Paul  Whiteman's 
cture,  "King  of  Jazz."  who  had  toured  and  been  fea- 
tured with  Gilda  Grey,  who  had  captained  that  famous 
anting  ensemble  known  as  the  Roxrettes  when  they 


packed  them  in  at  the  Koxy — lovely  though  it  was 
What  happened  to  turn  that  blissful  household 
into  a  redoubt  fortified  against  disease? 

Frankly,  it  is  still  pretty  much  of  a  mysterv.  I 
could  give  a  lot  of  medical  terms  and  advance  a  lot 
of  Latin-clotted  theories,  but  the  truth  of  the  mat- 
ter is  that  Jimmy  Wellington's  Anita  is  sick  unto 
death  of  an  infection. 

In  black  and  white,  it  looks  so  trivial — and  in 
life,  it  brings  Anita  so  close  to  death.  It  started, 
Jimmy  knows,  as  intestinal  flu  and  then  develo|>ed 
into  one  of"  those  once-in-a-million  gambles  that 
strike  with  the  same  force  (Continued  on  fai/c  73)

UMMER  holidays  are  lure  .  .  .  And  who 
wants  now  to  stay  indoors  and  dawdle  over 
the  dials? 

I  know  what  you're  thinking  .  .  .  The  top-flight 
stars  are  on  vacation.  The  hest  programs  are  off 
the  air.  There  won't  he  any  programs  wortli  both- 
ering with,  anyway. 

I  thought  that,  too — until  I  had  a  talk  with  some 
of  the  important  executives  at  Radio  City  and  at 
Columbia.  Then  I  changed  my  mind!  And  when 
I  tell  you  what  I've  learned,  I  think  you'll  change 
yours,  too. 

Some  of  the  biggest  things  that  ever  have  hap- 
pened in  radio  history  are  coming  on  the  air  this 
summer.  You  don't  have  to  stay  cooped  up  in- 
doors to  hear  them,  either.  There's  the  radio  in 
the  car — and  you  can  go  bowling  along  a  country 
road,  with  the  girl  or  boy  you  love  beside  you,  and 


2?y  £tk*LA 

Picnics  may  pall  and  beach* 
has  some  tremendous  trea 


at  the  same  time  be  taking  one  of  the  most  thrill 
voyages  in  maritime  history.    That  is  on  the  gigantic  i 
French  liner,  the  Xormandie,  which  will  leave  Le  H?. 
on   May  29th,  travelling  toward   New  York  on 
maiden  voyage. 

Both  of  the  major  networks  will  broadcast  this  eve 
fill  crossing.  Paul  W.  White,  who  is  the  director 
Columhia's  Department  of  Public  Events  and  Spe 
Features,  will  have  charge  of  the  Columbia  staff  abo 
the  79.000-ton  vessel.  Davidson  Taylor  will  do  the 
nouncing  for  this  network  until  June  3rd,  when  the  li 
reaches  New  York. 

Almost  anyone  would  thrill  at  the  prospect  of  tak 
that  trip  on  the  Normandie.  And  now,  for  the  f

Another  woman  loved  the  man  I  married!  Bu 


7! 


HE    FIRST    time    I    remember  seeing 
Sandra  was  the  day  when  Barry  and  I 
were    married.    That    was   three  years 
ago.  .  .  . 

I  could  not  then,  naturally,  dream  that  as  we 
stood  before  the  rector  of  the  Little  Church 
Around  the  Corner  a  woman  sat  in  the  dusky 
afternoon  shadows  behind  us.  her  dark,  sultry 
eyes  fixed  upon  both  of  us  speculatively.  Upon 
one  of  us  possessively. 

She  came  forward  as  we  turned  away  from 
fhe  altar,  still  hushed  with  the  awe  of  a  moment 
that  never  would  come  again.  Barry  looked 
surprised-  as  he  saw  her,  but  he  presented  her 
to  me.  She  was  the  Countess  Morosini,  a  so- 
ciety woman  who,  perhaps  to  relieve  boredom, 
perhaps  in  quest  of  new  adventure,  had  taken 
up  radio  work.  I  remembered  the  name  when 
I  heard  it.  Remembered  her  voice,  with  its 
strange,  husky  quality,  its  intriguing  overtones. 
She  was  singing  for  the  same  concern  for  which 
Barry  broadcast.  She  was  billed  as  "Sandra" — 
and  I  thought  then,  looking  at  her,  how  much 
moj-e  clever  to  discard  a  famous  title,  rather 
than  to  cling  to  the  meretricious  glory  of  one 
that  perhaps  had  no  real  worth. 
Undoubtedly  Sandra  was  clever. 
But  I  had  no  room,  in  my  mind  for  thoughts 
of  her  then.  And  we  did  not  linger  long  enough 
for  more  than  a  fleeting  impression.  An  im- 
pression that,  as  I  reviewed  it  afterward, 
seemed  charged  with  a  faint  hostility.  I 
t  then  know  why.  .  .  . 
■eetings,  congratulations,  good- 
byes, all  mingled  in  a  sweet, 
hazy  dream  for  a 
brief  space. 
Then 


we  were  off  in  Barry's  car,  with  Willoughb 
and  Grace  in  the  rumble.  They  were  accoir 
panying  us  to  the  flying  field.  Bill  Willoughb 
had  "stood  up"  with  Barry,  and  Grace  Meldrui| 
was  "the  bride's  only  attendant." 

I  must  set  down  here  in  this  little  noteboo  I 
something  about  that  day  that  was  so  fair,  s 
bright  with  promise.  .  .  .  Partly  because  I  ai 
afraid,  now,  that  it  is  going  to  be  shut  away  i 
some  secret  room  in  my  heart,  and  the  dooj 
closed  upon  it  forever.    Closed  and  locked,  an 
the  key  flung  far  away.    And  partly  because 
am  trying  to  clarify  things  in  my  mind — beforj 
I  take  a  step  that  may  be  final.    Going  over  i 
my  thoughts  all  the  features  of  our  life  tcl 
gether,  as  a  blind  person  might  explore  wit  [ 
sensitized  fingertips,  seeking  to  identify  somtj 
thing  grown  suddenly  strange.    Thinking,  lik 
blind  old  Isaac,  "The  hands  are  the  hands  o| 
Esau,  but  the  voice  is  the  voice  of  Jacob!" 

Whose  hands  are  those  I  touch  when  I  tak 
my  husband's  in  mine?    Whose  voice  is  it  the 
speaks  in  an  outward  semblance  of  the  deai! 
familiar  way?    Whose  heart  is  it  that  I  sti) 
would  call  mine? 

But,  to  get  back  to  the  wedding.  .  .  .  Wed 
dings  always  are  interesting,  however  simpl  ;l 
performed.    And  this  one,  despite  its  outwar 
simplicity,  seemed  to  have  an  inner  radianc 
that  made  it  breathtakingly  sweet. 

Seemed  to  have  ...  If  only  one  could  loo: 
ahead ! 

It  was  a  blue  and  silver  April  day.  For 
sythia  was  shaking  out  its  golden  bells  in  th 
warm  breeze  outside  the  church.  And  withi: 
was  a  dusky  splendor.  The  dim,  archaic  glor 
of  memorial  windows.  The  perfume  of  mingle< 
flowers.    The  pattern  of  romance. 

As  a  child  I  had  dreamed,  of  course,  tha 
when  I  married  I  would  marcl

down  some  cathedral  aisle  in  all  the 
sentimental  pageantry  of  a  conven- 
tional wedding — white  satin,  orange 
blossoms,  bridesmaids  in  pale  green 
and  hyacinth  and  rose.  Instead  I 
wore  a  tailored  suit  of  gray,  smart 
and  chic,  and  becoming,  I  thought, 
with  my  dark  hair.  A  green  scarf 
gave  my  eyes  a  greenish  warmth. 
Harry  wore  a  brown  tweed  he  had 
bought  in  England.  And  Bill  had 
on  his  familiar  blue  serge,  slightly 
rumpled  as  usual,  his  blond  hair 
looking,  as  always,  defiant  of  comb 
and  brush.  Grace  wore  a  lovely  frock 
of  soft  green  wool,  with  a  brown 
swagger  coat  and  small  brown  hat. 

The  whole  ceremony  was  as 
simple,  as  casual,  almost,  as  getting 
a  passport.  It  was.  we  both  thought 
then,  a  passport  to  happiness.  Though 
the  wedding  was  no  secret,  we  hadn't 
invited  any  guests.  But  one  or  two 
of  the  boys  from  the  flying  field 
were  there.  And  Barry's  radio  spon- 
sor.   And  Sandra.  .  .  . 

Bill  gave  us  his  fervent  blessing, 
which,  under  the  circumstances,  was 
sweet — though  I  didn't  fully  realize 
it  then.  Bill  was  an  old  friend  of 
Barry's.  He  was  a  pilot  on  a  trans- 
continental airline.  Barry  had  done 
experimental  and  test  flying,  and  he 
did  some  important  work  establish- 
ing new  air  routes,  until  a  series  of 
dramatic  events  in  which  he  played 
a  part  had  taken  him  into  radio 
work.  Barry  seems  to  have  a 
gift  for  sitting  in  at 
history 


in  the  making.  He  has,  too,  a  warm, 
vibrant  voice  and  the  ability  to  re- 
late what  he  has  seen  in  a  way  to 
make  you  feel  that  you  are  a  thrilled 
and  absorbed  eye-witness.  News- 
papers began  to  make  eager  bids  for 
his  services,  but  a  big  radio  network 
won  him  as  its  "Flying  Reporter" — 
a  commentator  whose  business  it  was 
to  take  off  at  any  moment  for  any 
place  where  some  momentous  events 
were  transpiring,  and  to  broadcast 
not  only  their  course,  but  his  con- 
clusions as  to  their  import.  Revolu- 
tions, uprisings,  executions,  strikes, 
floods,  famines — all  were  material 
for  his  lively  broadcasts. 

I  had  met  Barry  and  Bill  and 
Grace  shortly  after  my  first  ocean 
hop,  to  Spain.  Grace  was  a  reporter 
for  the  Morning  Globe,  and  a  stun- 
ning girl  as  well  as  a  really  brilliant 
writer.  I  always  maintained  that  it 
was  her  writing  and  not  my  flying 
that  made  me  famous.  She  has  that 
rare  gift  of  building  up  the  person 
she  is  interviewing,  rather  than  her- 
self. She  is  adept  in  the  art  of 
giving  enough  details  so  that  the 
reader  may  fill  in  the  picture  to 
suit  himself,  without  adding  so 
much  that  interest  may  flag 
or  gossip  flourish.  So,

Does  the  seed  of  disaster  lurk  in  sacrifices  made  to 


S  GLADYS  SWARTHOUT'S  marriage  in  danger  ? 

Gladys  Swarthout  and  Frank  Chapman  would  be 
honestly  amazed  at  such  a  question.  They  would 
protest  that  they  love  each  other  devotedly, 
that  their  lives  together  are  entirely  har- 
monious and  that  there  is  not  a  single  cloud 
on  their  happiness. 

And  yet  I  repeat,  is  their  marriage  in 
danger?  Is  there  a  potential  menace  to 
their  happiness,  of  which  they  themselves  are  unaware? 

I  helieve  there  is.  And  it  is  such  a  pity.  For  theirs 
is  one  of  the  most  glamorous,  most  successful  marriages 
on  Radio  Row.  There  seems  to  be  such  harmony  between 
them  as  you  seldom  see  between  two  people. 

You've  heard  about  their  romance  and  how  it  came  into 
being,  how  Gladys  at  first  thought 
Frank  con- 
ceited, 


Weill 


intolerant  and  overbearing,  and  how  at  last,  she  fell 
madly  in  love  with  him  and  he  with  her.  You  know 
that  she  was  married  once  before,  and  that  Frank  waited 
a  year  after  her  husband's  death  before 
declaring  his  love,  lest  he  offend  her  by 
speaking  too  soon.  But  the  story  you 
haven't  heard  is  of  their  married  life,  and 
how  they  have  worked  to  keep  it  on  the 
same  glamorous  plane  on  which  it  began. 
Particularly  did  Frank  Chapman  decide  to  do  every- 
thing he  could  toward  making  their  marriage  a  success. 
For  he  wasn't  a  thoughtless  youngster  taking  his  first 
fling  at  marriage.  He  had  been  married  once  before, 
to  Elizal>eth  Cobb,  the  writer,  and  that  marriage  had 
been  a  most  unhappy  failure. 

"I  was  an  intolerant  person,"  he  told  me 
frankly,  "and  I'm  sure  my  attitude 
■  must    have    annoyed  her 

often,  although  she 
said  nothing 
about  it 
At  first 


preserve  their  mutual  love? 


we  were  fairly  happy,  but  afterwards  I  went  abroad  u. 
study  music,  and  I  became  completely  absorbed  in  my 
own  career,  neglecting  Elizabeth  entirely.  I  spent  eight 
hours  a  day  studying  music,  which,  of  course,  left  me 
no  time  to  pay  any  attention  to  her.  Finally  she  grew 
sick  of  the  whole  business,  packed  up  bag  and  baggage 
and  went  back  to  the  United  States.  I  refused  to  go 
back  with  her.  I  had  contracts  all  over  Italy.  Wasn't 
that  what  I  had  been  studying  for  all  year?  If  she 
wasn't  satisfied  with  living  abroad,  I  was,  and  that 
was  that." 

Yes,  that  was  that,  for  Elizabeth  Cobb,  in  March.  1930, 
got  a  divorce  from  Frank  Chapman. 

So  it  is  no  wonder  that  when  Frank  fell  in  love  with 
and  married  Gladys  Swarthout,  he  made  up  his  mind 
that  he  would  not  make  again  the  same  mistake  that  he 
had  made  in  his  first  marriage.  No  longer  would  he 
allow  self -absorption  to  rule  or  ruin  his  life.  Always  he 
would  put  Gladys'  happiness  before  his  own. 

And  he  has  done  just  that.  When  they  were  first 
married  his  career  was  considered  as  promising  as  hers. 
Critics  both  in  Italy  and  the  United  States  had  been 
enthusiastic  about  his  voice,  and  had  predicted  increasing- 
ly great  success  for  him  in  the  future.  While  Gladys 
had  great  promise,  she  had  no  gift  for  business,  nor  for 
the  details  of  arranging  musical  programs.  What  more 
natural  than  that  she  should  turn  to  Frank  for  advice 
and  help? 

More  and  more  she  leaned  on  him.    Before  they  knew 
it,  she  was  the  important  member  of  the  family,  so 
far  as  singing  was  concerned,  while  he  willingly 
let  his  own  career  languish  to  further  hers. 
He  said  to  me :  "There  are  dozens  of  bari- 
tones  as   good   as    I   am,    but  Gladys 
Ik.         Swarthout's  voice  is  absolutely  unique. 

I  would  rather  do  everything  I  can 
to  advance  her  career  than  to  try 
to  further  my  own." 
And  so  this  man  who  could 
k         build  a  name  and  a  place  for 
|^         himself  as  one  of  our  really 
fine  musicians  spends  most 
of    his    time  managing 
Gladys  Swarthout's 
career.     He  goes  on 
occasional  concert 
tours,   but   he  will 
sacrifice    one  any 
day    to  help 
Gladys  with  one 
of    her  pro-

Four  rules  for 
combining  mat- 
rimony with  indi- 
vidual freedom. 
And  Elsie  Hitz  has 
proved  they  do  work 

12 y  (Jeoiqe  Kent 


MM  ARRIED  since  seventeen,  Elsie  Hitz  has 
discovered  the  fine  art  of  how  to  be  single 
though  married.    What  is  more,  she  prac- 
tices it,  and  it  works ! 

It's  an  art  you  should  learn,  you  who  are  altar- 
bound,  you  who  are  already  wed.    It's  the  art  of 
the  happy  marriage — the  art  of  remaining  your  girl- 
ish self  while  enjoying  the  delights  of  matrimony. 

Marriage  by  the  Hitz  code  gives  you  twice  the  free- 
dom the  average  married  woman  now  enjoys.  Gives 
you  the  right  to  a  career,  vacations ;  the  privilege  of  an 
occasional  innocent  outing  with  an  old  beau — in  other 
words,  it  is  the  modern  code  with  the  old-fashioned 
trimmings. 

Going  out  with  another  man  is  practically  a  penal 
offence  in  most  households,  but  not  in  the  home  of  our 
Elsie. 

For  example :  Elsie  is  out  for  a  walk  when  the  tele- 
phone rings  and  the  maid  answers.  When  she  returns 
she  finds  the  message :  "Please  meet  Mr.  Jones  in  the 
Biltmore  Lounge  at  four  o'clock." 

She  knows  no  Mr.  Jones  but  she  assumes  it  is  some 
one  who  wants  to  talk  to  her  on  business,  perhaps  an 
old  friend  whose  name  she  has  forgotten.    So  she  goes. 

Mr.  Jones  turns  out  to  be  the  friend  of  one  of  her 
many  brothers-in-law,  in  the  city  for  a  few  hours.  They 
have  tea,  they  have  merry  conversation — and  at  six 
o'clock  Elsie  gets  into  a  taxi  and  goes  home. 

Jack  Welch,  husband  to  Elsie,  greets  her  fondly  at  the 
door.  Elsie  chatters  about  Mr.  Jones,  the  tea,  the  celebri- 
ties she  saw  at  the  Biltmore.  And  Jack  listens  without  a 
trace  of  jealousy,  exhibiting  the  same  interest  in  his 
wife's  tea  with  another  man  as  most  husbands  would 
give  to  their  wives'  account  of  a  movie  they  had  just 
seen. 

Every  woman,  according  to  Mrs.  Jack  Welch,  has  a 
right  to  work,  flirt  and  live  her  own  life.    A  wise  wife 
can  be  flapper- free  and  still  be  a  loyal  and  devoted 
34 


Adam  and  Eve, 
Elsie  thinks, 
were  glad  to 
get  out  of  Eden! 
Elsie  thinks  that 
marriage  is 
actually  the 
"Dangerous 
Paradise." 


matt  l  q 


:ouse — an  even  better  one  than  she  could  otherwise  be. 
[  If  you  want  proof  of  how  this  works  out  in  practice 
u  have  only  to  listen  to  Elsie  in  "Dangerous  Para- 
ge."   Listen  to  the  youthful  ardor  she  brings  to  the 
le  of  the  glamorous  sweetheart  of  Nick  Dawson.  How 
limy  quarrel-scarred  married  women  could  do  as  well — 
■  en  if  they  had  the  voice  and  the  gifts?    They — you— 
|1;  average  wife  is  too  disenchanted  by  the  marriage 
I'siness.    Romance  is  something  forgotten  or  lost  six 
m  seven  months  after  the  plain  gold  band  was  placed  on 
ji;  finger. 

|  Elsie  Hitz  did  not  learn  her  way  about  the  matrimonial 
pize  in  a  day.  It  took  years  of  experience.  To  her 
uirriage  is  the  real  "dangerous  paradise."  If  you  ask 
Ir,  she  will  tell  you  that  a  paradise  without  danger  is 
pt  worth  having;  it  becomes  monotonous.  She  will  add, 
iith  a  smile,  that  Adam  and  Eve  were  probably  glad  to 
\\\.  out  of  Eden,  they  were  so  bored  with  the  life  they 
b  re  leading ! 

|  This  slender  girl  with  alluring  eyes  loathes  preacbing 
Ht  when  we  insisted,  for  your  sake,  that  she  reduce 
»lr  knowledge  to  a  set  of  rules,  she  sat  down  and 
| lured  them  out.  So  here,  for  the  first  time,  you  have 
l-the  secret  of  being  a  wife  and  an  unfettered  young 
i  ng,  both  at  the  same  time  : 

lli.  Get  to  zvork.  Don't  sit.  Please,  please  don't  just 
|lng  around  the  house  twiddling  your  thumbs !  Find 
■nettling  to  do  with  your  hands,  your  hearts,  your  long 
ljurs  of  leisure.  Don't  live  only  in  your  husband's  life, 
hve  the  poor  man  a  break!    He  may  like  it  for  a  time 


but  he's  going  to  get  fed  up  with  your  clinging.  Tbumbs 
down  and  snip-snip  to  the  clinging  vine.  He  fell  in  love 
with  you  because  you  were  yourself,  a  creature  with  a 
life  of  her  own.  So,  go  on  having  one.  Obey  impulses. 
Go  places.  Otherwise,  he'll  walk  out  on  you.  Oh.  he'll 
be  there  in  the  flesh — but  so  far  as  his  heart  and  real 
interest  are  concerned,  he  won't  lie  there ! 

Elsie,  of  course,  has  the  advantage  of  most  women, 
having  always  had  her  theatrical  work  to  keep  her  busy. 
Hut  she  remembers  a  time  when  she  couldn't  find  a  job 
— long,  long  ago.  So.  she  went  to  live  in  Buffalo  with 
her  husband,  where  for  the  first  time  in  her  life  she 
found  herself  a  homelxxly  with  nothing  to  do  but  sit. 

She's  the  thin,  nervous  type — the  kind  that  blows  up 
easily — and  she  confesses  that  her  boredom  in  Buffalo, 
and  the  resultant  quarrels,  almost  cracked  up  her  mar- 
riage. When  it  looked  as  if  there  was  nothing  to  do  but 
get  a  divorce  she  got  up  and  found  work  for  herself — of 
a  kind  she  had  never  done  before.  She  began  studying 
sculpture.  The  occupation  pulled  her  right  out  of  the 
dumps  and  before  long  she  was  human  again,  able  to 
talk  to  Jack  without  snapping  his  head  off. 

2.  Forget  annoyances  quickl\.  If  you  have  a  quarrel 
— and  you  will,  my  hearties — get  over  it  when  it  is  over. 
No  sulking,  hear!  Don't  dish  up  the  breakfast  quarrel 
at  dinner.  And  don't  drop  last  night's  war  in  the  break- 
fast coffee.    It  spoils  the  coffee  ! 

If  the  number  of  tiffs,  spats  and  arguments  the  Hitz- 
W'elch  combine  has  had  were  added  up.  it  would  read 
like  the  Japanese  war  debt.     (Continued  on  page  93) 


In  "Dangerous  Paradise"  Elsie 
brings  youthful  ardor  to  the 
role  of  the  glamorous  sweet- 
heart of  Nick  Dawson  (right). 


"Don't  live  only  in  your  hus- 
band's life,"  Elsie  advises  you. 
"Give  the  poor  man  a  break! 
Have    a    life    of    your  own!'

EVERYONE  in  Hollywood  and  New  York  is  trying  to 
explain  what  it  is  about  Pinky  Tomlin  that's  so  fascinat- 
ing. 

We  study  his  phonograph  records,  catch  his  every 
broadcast,  and  listen  to  his  compositions  till  they  ring 
in  our  ears ;  we  go  to  the  theatres  and  night  clubs  to  see 
him  in  person.  And  still  we're  buffaloed.  The  fellow 
simply  defies  analysis.  We  get  so  we  mum- 
ble to  ourselves,  and  go  about  with  haunted 
expressions,  wracked  with  the  mystery  of 
this  Oklahoma  hick's  astonishing  charm.  ^ 

"Pinky  Tomltn  .  .  .  Oh,  the  object  of  my 
affection  .  .  .  has  changed  my  whole  com- 
plexion .  .  .  she  can  go  where  she  wants  to  go,  do 
what  she  wants  to  do,  I  sho'  don't  care  .  .  .  Don't  he 
afraid  to  tell  your  mother  .  .  .  What's  the  reason  you're 
not  pleasin'  me  .  .  .  aw  nuts  .  .  .  he's  nuts  .  .  .  I'm  nuts 
.  .  .  but  what  is  it  about  that  guy.  .  .  f" 

Well,  I  can't  explain  him  any  better  than  you  can,  and 
I've  been  trying  ever  since  that  night  in  October  when  he 
first  appeared  at  the  Biltmore  Bowl  in  Los  Angeles  and 
put  us  under  his  inexplicable  spell.  Maybe  if  I  tell  you 
about  that  night,  and  what  he  looks  like,  and  what's  hap- 
pened to  him,  maybe  you  can  explain  gangling,  grinning 
Pinky   Tomlin  to  your  own   satisfaction,   if   I  can't!

Pinky  is  twenty-seven — and  looks  any- 
where between  twenty  and  forty. 


The  Biltmore  Bowl  is  the  largest  night  club  in  L 
Angeles.  In  fact,  it's  the  largest  west  of  Chicago,  1 
in  the  swanky  Biltmore  Hotel,  and  it's  where  the  collej 
kids  and  upper  crusts  go  to  get  a  glimpse  of  picture  cele 
and  dance  to  Jimmy  Grier's  music.  It's  a  nice  place  to  g 
but  until  last  October  nothing  tremendous  ever  happen 
there.  I  mean.  Garbo  and  Dietrich  never  staged  a  batt 
of  the  orbs  there.  (Hollywood  history  lill 
that  is  made  only  in  select  spots  who 
there's  just  enough  room  for  the  gentll 
men  of  the  press  and  a  few  big.  names 
lend  prestige  to  the  occasion ! )  But  la 
October  .  .  .  well,  everything  changed 
October.  In  October  Pinky  Tomlin  l\ 
town  and  started  things  humming. 

We  were  lucky  enough  to  be  at  the  ringside  when 
happened — at  the  Bowl,  I  mean.  Jimmy  maintains  a  sta 
of  about  a  dozen  entertainers,  and  he  put  them  all  thron 
their  paces  before  he  had  nerve  enough  to  push  his  ne 
recruit  out  on  the  floor.  The  newcomer  shambled  to  I 
microphone.  His  cheeks  were  a  ruddy  pink.  His  thi 
reddish  blond  hair  looked  pink,  and  wisps  of  it 
limply  over  his  high  forehead  to  dangle  before  his  sr. 
His  one  and  only  grey  sack  suit  was  baggy,  and  Jimm 
in  his  immaculate  dinner  jacket,  looked  a  trifle  emba 
rassed,  as  though  he  hadn't  quite  expected  this.  The  o 
chestra  boys  openly  grinned.    (Continued  on  page  77

Beginning  at  the  right,  above,  then  across  the  page  and  down, 
we  have  Rosemary  Lane,  Frances  Langford  and  Gertrude 
Niesen,  Jane  Pickens,  Harriet  Hilliard  and  Vera  Van — and  if 
we  looked  like  these  charming  young  artists  of  the  air,  we 
just  can't  seem  to  believe  that  we  would  worry  about  itl 


If  you  want  to  hold  your  honey, 
listen  to  what  these  girls  say! 


The  mortality  rate,  I  mean,  on  celebrity  love  affairs  lately. 
Broadway  stage  stars  and  the  picture  folk  on  the  West  Coast 
were  trading  valentines  so  fast  they  made  Winchell's  daily  dope  read 
like  an  obit  column.  The  footlight  and  camera  cavaliers,  it  seemed 
to  me,  were  positively  outvying  each  other — to  see  who  would  woo, 
then  walk  out  on,  the  greatest  number  of  sweethearts. 
And  then  it  had  me  puzzled. 

From  the  radio  angle,  I  sat  down  to  take  a  toll  of  the  best-known 
kilocycle  courtships  and  out  of  a  whole  page  full  every  single  one 
but  two,  so  help  me,  turned  out  to  be  long-termers.  Love  affairs  that 
had  honest-to-goodness  lasted.  And  there  couldn't,  thought  I,  be  any- 
thing accidental  about  that  because  romance  remains  romance  whether 
it  happens  in  New  York  or  Hollywood. 

So  I  went  sleuthing. 

To  find  out  what  the  radio  maids  were  doing,  anyway,  to  keep 
love  blooming  like  a  century  plant;  while  their  sister  stars  were  having 
just  one  sentimental  difficulty  after  another.  Whatever  the  secret 
was,  it  had  to  be  good. 

It  was.  It  is.  And  mademoiselle,  if  you  want  evermore  to  hold 
on  to  your  honey,  you'll  remember  that  secret.  For  from  six  of 
the  most  sought-after  songstresses  among  the  younger  set  of  the 
air  I  learned  a  startling  new  slant  on  this  thing  called  romance. 

How  good  you  are  at  getting  a  man  has  ceased  to  he  what  matters 
these  days — it's  how  good  you  are  at  getting  him  back  that  counts ! 

And  if  their  own  long-term  records  are  any  indication  that  they 
know  how  to  do  just  that,  you  can  learn  a  lot  from  Gertrude  Niesen, 
Frances  Langford,  Jane  Pickens,  Vera  Van,  Harriett  Hilliard  and 
Rosemary  Lane,  who  tell  me  that  the  era  when  you  simply  stayed- 
as-sweet-as-you-could  and  trusted  Cupid  to  keep  your  romance  off 
the  rocks  has  long  since  passed.  The  latest  thing  in  love  is  to  leave 
Cupid  out  of  it ;  and  master  so  well  the  technique  for  getting  your 
sweethearts  back  again  that  it  won't  much  matter  whether  they 
relish   rocks   now    and   then   or   not.    {Continued   on    page  75)

The  name  of  Kathleen  Wells' 
good  fairy  is  Perseverance 


^]  RE  you  cynical  ?    Are  you  discouraged  ?    Do  you 
think  fame  and  success  depend  upon  luck  and 
pull?    In  other  words,  are  you  one  of  those  "it 
can't  be  done"  people? 

Then  listen  to  this  Cinderella-like  true  story  of  a  girl 
who  worked  in  a  dress  house,  was  the  sole  support  of 
her  parents,  never  could  afford  to  take  a  singing  lesson, 
did  without  lunch  to  use  that  precious  hour  hunting  for 
a  radio  job,  and  overnight  became  one  of  the  brightest 
new  stars  to  twinkle  in  the  broadcasting  heavens.  Know- 
ing her  story  will  give  you  a  new  lease  on  your  battered 
hopes. 

This  flesh-and-blood  Cinderella  is  Kathleen  Wells,  the 
new  hot-cha  singer  who  took  Annette  Hanshaw's  place  on 
the  "Showboat"  program.  I'll  tell  you  later  how  some  of 
the  most  famous  girl  singers  tried  to  get  that  job  and  how 
this  little  nobody  nosed  them  all  out. 

Exactly  one  year  ago  Kathleen  was  working  in  a  dress 
house  for  twenty-five  per. 

How  in  the  world  did  she  do  it? 

Well,  she's  Irish-American,  for  one  thing,  which  might 
explain  it.  But  her  complete  story  is  too  inspiring  to  dis- 
miss with  one  sentence. 

Kathleen  had  to  strike  out  for  herself  pretty  early  in 
life.  She  lived  in  Jersey  City,  an  only  child.  Her  father's 
business  had  crumbled  away  ,and  he  himself  had  been  re- 
duced to  a  frail,  sick  man  who  no  longer  could  work. 
Kathleen  had  to  get  a  job.  It  was  a  great  blow  to  Mr. 
Wells  to  see  his  pretty  Kathleen  work  as  a  model  and 
salesgirl  in  a  New  York  wholesale  dress  house.  With 
the  musical  trait  that  I  think  is  the  heritage  of  every 
Irishman,  he  wanted  her  to  be  a  singer. 

"You'  re  on  vour  own,  Kathleen,"  he  once  said  to  her. 
"You  have  no  one  to  help  you.  {Continued  on  page  85)

Truman  Bradley,  who  shuns  love  as  if  it  were 
a  Dillinger  gangster,  finds  Sister  Elene  always 
a  charming  hostess,  a  merry  companion,  a 
devoted  and  faithful  friend. 


TRUMAN  BRADLEY  is  perhaps  the  most 
misjudged  man  in  radio. 

His  most  ardent  admirers  in  their  eagerness 
to  make  you  realize  what  a  regular  person  and  ahle 
announcer  he  is,  have  succeeded  in  depicting  him  as 
a  sort  of  Boy  Scout  of  the  broadcasting  studios. 
When  you  ask  a  couple  of  them  what  Truman  is 
really  like  they  invariably  answer  that  he  once  won 
the  Missouri  State  Debating  Championship  for  his  home- 
town High  School.  Or,  they  will  tell  you  how  that 
super-sponsor  of  the  air,  Henry  Ford,  after  rejecting 
a  dozen  announcers  for  his  Sunday  evening  Symphonic 
Hour,  heard  him  in  a  broadcast  specially  piped  from 
|  Columbia's  Chicago  studios  to  Dearborn,  and  exclaimed : 
'That's  the  voice  I  want!" 

But,  there  is  another  Truman  Bradley  I  know :  a  reck- 
less, romantic  one  whom  women  adore  and  address  as 
"Brad."     You   encounter    him    in   the    Windy  City's 
swankier  night  clubs,  beauxing  some  lovely  debutante, 
or  cantering  along  the  bridle  path  in  Lincoln  Park  be- 
side a  luscious-looking  air  diva.     Yet  that  Brad, 
ironically  enough,   shuns  love  as  though  Cupid 
were  a  Dillinger  gangster,  and  complains  that 
rotnance  yets  in  his  hair. 

Why  should  a  man  as  young  and  attrac- 
tive as  this  Truman  Bradley  want  to 
escape  the  great  altar  adventure?

memory  of  his  boyhood  sweetheart,  like  the  fragrant

life,  but  to  what  lengths  he  has  gone  to  keep  from  be-

WHEN  THE  AUDIENCE  IS  AWAY 

We're  in  the  finest  studio  in  Radio  City — you  and  I, 
Max  Baer  and  Al  Jolson.  We're  not  quite  alone,  for 
there  are  technical  men  running  around  and  a  news  reel 
man  is  setting  up  his  equipment  at  our  elbow.  We  are 
ahout  to  see  something  rare  in  radio — an  honest  ex- 
ample of  scene  hogging.    It  is  the  fault  of  the  camera. 

While  the  camera  grinds,  Jolson  is  to  walk  into  a 
set  upon  which  Maxie  and  Benay  Benuta  are  reading 
from  a  script.  Max  is  to  look  up  and  say:  "Hello,  dad- 
dy," and  they  are  to  go  into  some  prearranged  patter. 
They  try  it.  Jolson  walks  into  the  scene — Max  says: 
"Hello,  daddy,"  and  goes  right  on  talking.  So  Jolson 
fumhles  his  own  barely  heard  lines  and  they  have  to  try 
again.  Again  Baer  says  the  funny  things.  The  third 
time,  Max  greets  Al  with,  "Hello,  daddy.  You  here 
again?"  It's  another  laugh,  hut  Jolson  starts  talking 
loudly  and  continues  for  a  full  minute,  even  getting  in 
a  plug  for  his  sponsor.  He's  satisfied.  However,  the 
cameraman  says  to  us :  "Hah.    That'll  be  cut." 

A  little  later,  Jolson  rehearses  the  introduction  of 
Benay  Venuta  to  the  networks.  At  least,  that's  what  he 
says  it  is.  She  is  a  blonde  lovely  and  the  name  is  a  con- 
traction of  Benvenuto,  her  given  name.  Her  dad  is  a 
West  Coast  publisher  and  she  has  already  lost  fiftv 
of  the  sixty  pounds  stipulated  by  her  contract.  But, 
Mr.  Jolson!  She  is  really  a  Columbia  find  and  was  in- 
troduced early  in  March  by  Col.  Stoopnagle  and  Budd ! 
Trust  us  to  know. 

•  •  •  Johnny  Marvin  is  rehearsing  a  song  as  we 
stand  nearby.  A  page  boy  comes  in  and  hands  him  a  note. 
Johnny  reads  it,  nods,  and  a  moment  later  the  page  re- 
turns with  a  man  who  says :  "Mr.  Marvin  ?"  Johnny 
nods  again,  but  instead  of  shaking  his  hand,  the  man 
thrusts  a  paper  into  it,  and  walks  out.  Johnny  looks 
after  him  aghast.  The  paper  is  a  summons  which  in- 
forms him  he  is  being  sued  by  a  number  of  people  for 
money  they  lost  when  they  bought  faulty  oil  heaters 
from  his  now  defunct  agency. 

A  little  later,  he  shows  us  the  note,  it  reads :  "Dear 
Mr.  Marvin  :  I  am  a  great  fan  of  yours  and  would 
very  much  like  to  meet  you  and  see  you  broadcast." 

•  •  •  Although  strict  orders  have  been  given  that  no 
one  is  to  pass  the  locked  studio  doors,  you  and  I  watch 
Claudette  Colbert  emote  before  the  microphone.  Radio 
is  new  to  her  and  she  is  not  so  sure  of  herself.  After 
each  scene,  she  looks  through  the  window  into  the  con- 
trol rooms  as  though  seeking  approval.  When  she  is 
done,  she  throws  herself  into  Eric  Dressler's  arms — he 
had  been  her  lead — in  a  frenzy  of  relief;  then  she  puts 
on  her  shoes.    For  Claudette  works  in  bedroom  slippers.

We're  startled  by  the  shout  and  look  enquiringly  at  the

Before  him  is  a  folded  newspaper.  He  is  working  on  a

so  well.  When  her  voice  was  discovered  on  a  small  town 
station  and  she  was  approached  with  lucrative  offers  by 
a  good-looking  producer — she  was  all  enthusiasm.  But 
when  the  handsome  guy  handed  her  a  contract  and  told 
her  to  start  immediately  for  New  York,  she  was  dejected.

^/F  you  were  a  wife  whose  self-respect  demanded 
that  you  break  off  completely  with  your  husband 
tomorrow,   would  you  have  the  courage  to  do 
it?   Or  would  you  try  to  patch  it  up  because  you'd 
be  afraid  you  couldn't  make  your  own   way   in  the 
world  ? 

Cobina  Wright  wasn't  afraid.  Not  even  though  her 
entire  fortune — almost  a  million  dollars — was  swallowed 
in  the  1929  crash.  Not  even  when  gossip- 
ping  sensation-mongers  began  flinging  mud 
her  way. 

Her  life  isn't  all  a  pretty  story.  Not  at 
all  the  kind  of  story  she  would  want  to 
tell   on   her    Monday   afternoon  "Your 
Hostess"  programs  for  Columbia,  on  which 
she  entertains  you  with  literary,  social  and 
musical  celebrities.    But,  pretty  or  not,  it's  an 
life — one  you  ought  to  get  straight  and  keep  in 
place  in  your  mind.    Some  day  you  may  need  to  know 
how  a  'woman,  criticized  relentlessly,  can  still  stand  above 
the  crowd,  self-reliant  and  unafraid. 

Certainly  no  one  questioned  Cobina  Wright's  courage 
during  the  World  War.  Look  at  the  valiant  lady  in  the 
year  1916 — a  fine,  handsome  young  woman  who,  with 
the  passion  inherited  from  her  Spanish  mother,  had  spent 
a  childhood  fighting  a  straight-laced  family  of  New 
England  aristocracy  for  a  musical  education  in  Europe. 
Against  stern  opposition  she  had  achieved  a  childhood 
ideal — to  sing  in  opera.  Despite  that,  she  was  restless 
and  discontented.  The  thundering  guns  of  Europe  had 
rattled  her  door.    She  had  to  do  her  part  in  the  war !

Even  illness  cannot  quench  her  gaiety. 


Christmas  day  of  that  year  found  her  riding  in  the 
sidecar  of  a  French  army  motorcycle  along  a  shell-pitted 
street  in  Soissons.  She  had  asked  the  French  government 
for  a  berth  as  a  nurse.  They  had  told  her  she  could  help 
more  by  cheering  the  soldiers  with  her  song.  So  there  she 
was,  jouncing  along  in  the  vehicle  guided  by  her  orderly, 
a  French  sergeant.  Her  piano  bumped  along  in  a  field 
truck  behind  her.  Shells  screamed  overhead.  She  paid  no 
attention.  She  had  turned  fatalist  in  the 
hell  that  was  all  around  her. 

They    rattled    across   a   bridge.  She 
looked   back  at  the  soldiers  who  were 
tramping  across  it  behind  her.  There  were 
men  who  a  short  while  before  had  smiled 
at  her  singing.  Now  they  were  going  back 
to  their  death. 
Another  shell  screeched  through  the  air — terrifyingly 
close.    There  was  an  ear-splitting  roar.    Mangled  bodies 
leapt  in  the  air  with  the  shattered  pieces  of  the  bridge 
she  had  just  crossed. 

White-lipped,  she  clung  to  the  edge  of  the  careening 
sidecar  as  the  sergeant  urged  the  motorcycle  forward. 
The  rising  and  falling  whine  of  dog-fighting  planes  smote 
her  ear.  She  looked  skyward  and  had  a  moment  of  grim 
joy.   A  Fokker  had  been  disabled.   Then  her  heart  froze. 

The  German  plane  was  swirling  drunkenly  down  from 
the  sky  toward  her.  The  pilot  was  dead.  No  one  could 
tell  from  the  plane's  ghastly  antics  whether  it  was  going  to 
crash  half  a  mile  or  three  feet  away.  The  sergeant  stopped 
the  motorcycle.  As  much  use  trying  to  run  from  it  as  from 
an  ogre  in  a  nightihare.     With  a  last  wailing  dive  it

T  lunch  the  other  day  in  his  apartment,  Arnold 
Johnson  played  me  a  recording  that  had  been 
made  of  one  of  those  Sunday  night  amateur  pro- 
grams on  which  he  directs  the  orchestra.  It  con- 
tained a  bit  of  dialogue  between  Ray  Perkins  and  himself. 
Arnold's  voice  came  through  the  speaker,  nasal,  high- 
pitched,  strained.  Perhaps  you  heard  that  program. 

I  looked  at  Arnold  in  astonishment.  That  wasn't  his 
real  voice.  He  grinned. 

"I  was  scared  as  Hell,"  he  said. 

If  you've  ever  shared  the  embarrassment  of  the  poor 
amateurs  who  get  G-chorded  off  that  program,  you  have 
an  idea  how  Arnold  feels  about  it.  Contrary  to  what  your 
listening  friends  might  say,  he  doesn't  get  a  laugh  out  of 
cutting  the  hopefuls  short. 

I'm  going  to  tell  you  how  it  happens  that  he  gets  so 
embarrassed.   But  there's  more  than  embarrassment  be- 


hind his  sympathetic  attitude  toward  amateurs.  He 
knows  that  from  these  programs  may  rise  stars  of  to- 
morrow. His  own  experiences  with  Paul  Whiteman,  Fred 
Waring,  Vincent  Lopez  and  Guy  Lombardo,  when  their 
names  meant  little  if  anything,  proves  to  him  that  it's  not 
too  much  to  expect. 

In  1928  when  the  Columbia  Broadcasting  System  was 
a  howling  babe,  Arnold  Johnson  was  conductor  of  the 
orchestra  on  one  of  the  largest  sponsored  programs — the 
Majestic  Hour.  A  moment  before  one  of  the  programs 
was  to  begin,  word  was  received  that  Norman  Broken- 
shire,  the  scheduled  announcer,  suddenly  had  been  taken 
ill  and  was  unable  to  appear. 

The  production  man  was  aghast.  He  had  got  Eddie 
Cantor  and  Belle  Baker  to  the  studio  as  guest  stars,  and 
there  was  no  one  to  announce  them!  "You'll  have  to  do 
it,"  he  told  Arnold.  (Continued  on  page  62)  ,

Everyone  thought  it  was—

rHE  middle-aged  woman  leaned  hopefully  to- 
ward the  man  who  sat  opposite  her  at  the 
luncheon  table  in  the  New  York  hotel.  His 
mouth  twisted  into  a  wry  smile.  He  shook  his  head. 

"I'm  sorry."  he  said  slowly.  "At  your  age  you 
haven't  a  chance." 

He  was  speaking  to  Kate  McComb,  whom  you  now 
hear  as  the  mother  in  "The  Gibson  Family."  Ma  O'Neill 
of  "The  O'Neills,"  Hattie.  the  wife  in  the  "Snow  Vil- 
lage" sketches. 

At  forty-four  Kate  McComb  was  setting  out  to  be- 
come what  she  might  have  been  twenty-five  years  be- 
fore— an  actress  on  Broadway.  Her  husband  was 
dead,  her  son  a  grown  man.  She  had  refused  to  rest 
on  her  achievements  as  a  devoted  wife  and  mother. 
Just  because  she  had  been  thwarted  once  l>efore.  she 
wasn't  going  to  let  the  rest  of  her  life  slip  by  in  l«r- 
ren,  futile  years. 

But  here  she  was,  facing  a  nun  who  was  telling 
her  it  was  too  late.    He  should  know.    He  had  been 
in  the  theatre  for  years.    She  was  stunned. 
"But  why?"  she  demanded. 

"Miss  McComb,"  Thatcher  replied  patiently,  "the 
city  is  full  of  character  actresses  who  have  been  on  the 
stage  since  they  were  youngsters.  Producers  hire 
women  with  experience — professional  exi»erience." 

"Please,  Mr.  Thatcher."  Kate  McComb  pleaded, 
"perhaps  you  don't  understand.  I've  written  and  pro- 
duced and  acted  in  whole  plays  for  the  Little  Theatre 
back  in  Great  Barrmgton.  Massachusetts.  They've 
made  money.  I've  earned  money  with  my  singing.  I'm 
no  rank  amateur." 

"You  try  to  convince  a  producer  ot  that."  her  com- 
panion retorted.  Then,  in  a  kinder  voice:  "I  believe 
you  have  dramatic  ability.  But  a  man  who  spends 
hard  cash  on  a  play  has  to  be  certain  every  one  of  his 
actors  has  had  gruelling  professional  training.  He  has 
to  know  he  can  depend  on  them  in  any  crisis.  It's  only- 
fair  for  me  to  tell  you  that  at  your  age  you  just 
haven't  a  chance." 

After  the  shock  of  disappointment  had  lessened. 
Kate  tried  to  be  reasonable  about  it.  After  all,  what 
Thatcher  had  said  had  sounded  pretty  sensible.  Silly 
for  her  to  think  that  in  such  a  short  time  she  could 
do  what  it  had  taken  others  years  to  accomplish.  So 
for  a  month  she  resigned  (Continued  on  page  83)

^^REETINGS,  Friends  and  Radio  Fans: 

Small  town  newspapers  like  to  head  a  success  story 
with  the  descriptive  phrase,  "Home   Town  Girl 
*     Makes  Good  in  The  Big  City!" — but  it  isn't  often 
that  "The  Big  City"  itself  has  a  chance  to  boast  about 
one  of  its  own  fair  daughters. 

So  it  is  with  the  greatest  pleasure  that 
I  present  to  you,  for  this  Cooking  School 
broadcast,  New  York  City's  own  gift  to 
Radio — that  petite  blues  singer,  Annette 
Hanshaw. 

There's  no  denying  that  the  greater 
proportion  of  the  popular  radio  stars 
seem  to  come  to  the  big  New  York  broad- 
casting studios  from  points  North,  East,  South  and  West 
— from  Maine  to  N'Orleans,  from  Los  Angeles  to 
"Gawgia" — or  as  Winchell  (another  New  York  product, 
by  the  way)  would  say,  "From  Ocean  to  Ocean  and 
Coast  to  Coast."  But  our  guest  star  Annette  Hanshaw, 
is  a  New  Yorker  born  and  bred,  and  travelled  originally 
no  further  than  from  110th  Street  to  the  N.  B.  C.  and 
C.  B.  S.  studios  to  win  her  place  on  the  air  waves  and  in 
the  affections  of  her  listeners. 

Annette  is  a  typical  product  of  her  home  town,  too — 
alert,  high  strung,  full  of  pep,  charmingly  gowned  and 
perfectly  groomed.  And,  to  make  the  picture  complete, 
she  resides,  as  so  many  New  Yorkers  do,  in  a  little  apart- 
ment, in  a  big  building,  on  a  busy  corner  of  a  well-known

street.  So  let's  step  into  the  Hanshaw  home  an4  see  for 
ourselves  how  one  of  the  city's  more  fortunate  cliff- 
dwellers  lives ! 

The  Hanshaw  apartment,  though  comparatively  small, 
is  a  complete  home,  nevertheless,  for  like  most  New 
Yorkers  Annette  has  learned  how  to  conserve  space.  The 
living-room,  .for  instance,  does  double 
duty  and  with  a  large  drop-leaf  table,  in 
front  of  the  window,  provides  plenty  of 
room  for  informal  entertaining.  While 
the  kitchen,  though  but  a  two-by-four, 
has  a  closet  for  a  few  pieces  of  dainty 
china,  a  real  stove  and  a  good  size  auto- 
matic refrigerator,  which  equipment,  to- 
gether with  sink  and  table,  allows  for  the  easy  preparation 
of  complete  meals. 

"I  don't  try  to  do  anything  very  fancy  in  the  cooking 
line,"  Annette  told  me  as  we  stepped  down  from  the 
foyer  into  the  "dropped"  living-room  after  our  brief  in- 
spection of  the  miniature  culinary  department.  "My  maid 
occasionally  attempts  something  more  elaborate  and  makes 
one  of  her  famous  chocolate  angel  food  cakes,  let  us  say. 
But  a  great  many  of  my  meals  are  eaten  out  or  have  to 
be  sent  up  at  the  last  minute  from  the  restaurant  in  the 
building.  However,  when  I  have  friends  in  for  an  in- 
formal Sunday  supper  I  like  to  prepare  some  of  my 
favorite  dishes  myself." 

"What  are  they?"  I  inquired.  (Continued  on  page  60)

We  asked 
why 


Society  Wo  men 
they   Prefer  Camels   


"Every  one  is 
gay  now  and  almost  every  one  is  smok- 
ingCamels,"repliedMrs.  AllstonBoye  r. 
"I  can  smoke  as  many  as  I  want  and 
they  never  upset  my  nerves.  Lots  of 
people  have  told  me  the  same  thing. 
And  I  notice  that  if  I'm  tired,  smoking 
a  Camel  freshens  me  up." 


In  the  enjoyment 
of  smoking,  Camels  certainly  make  a 
difference,"  answered  Miss  Mary  de 
Mumm  (below).  "Their  flavor  is  so 
smooth  and  mild  that  you  enjoy  the 
last  one  as  much  as  the  first.  I'm  sure 
that's  one  reason  they  are  so  extremely 
popular."  More  expensive  tobaccos! 


"Flavor,"  says  Miss  Mary  deMumm 

Among  the  many 
distinguished  women  who  prefer 
Camel's  costlier  tobaccos:

."Camels  have 
such  a  grand,  mild  flavor,  and  that's 
because  they  have  more  expensive  to- 
baccos in  them,"  said  Miss  Dorothy 
Paine  (below).  "Every  one  is  smoking 
them  now." 

Vi  omen  do  appreciate  mildness  in 
a  cigarette,  antl  the  additional  happy 
fact  that  Camels  never  bother  the 
nerves!  Camel's  more  expensive  to- 
baccos make  a  real  difference  ...  in 
mildness,  flavor,  ami  pleasure. 


"Sometimes  you  are  apt  to  smoke 
more  than  usual,"  said  Mr*.  Robert  K. 
Hilt,  "and  I  notice  that  Cartels  ihm  r 
upset  my  nerves.  In  fact,  if  I'm  a  bit

Doctor,  Low  do  Skin  Faults  first  Begin? 

AN  INTELLIGENT  QUESTION  AUTHORITATIVELY  ANSWERED— 


1  What  causes  Lines? 

Lines  result  when  the  under  tissues  grow 
thin  and  wasted,  and  the  outer  skin  does 
not  change  correspondingly.  It  falls  into 
tiny  creases — the  lines  you  see.  To  help 
this,  nutrition  of  the  under  tissues  must  be 
stimulated. 


2  Are  Blackheads  just  Dirt? 

Blackheads  are  due  to  clogged  pores.  Most 
often,  this  clogging  comes  from  within 
the  skin.  Overactive  glands  give  off  a 
thickish  substance  that  clogs  the  pores. 
The  tip  dries.  Darkens.  Collects  dirt. 
Proper  cleansing  will  remove  the  black- 
head. Rousing  treatment  of  the  under  tis- 
sues will  prevent  further  clogging. 


3  What  makes  Blemishes  come? 

"Blemishes"  are  the  final  stage  of  black- 
heads. They  form  when  the  clogging  ac- 
cumulation in  the  pores  presses  on  the 
surrounding  under  tissues  and  causes  in- 
flammation. They  are  avoided  by  remov- 
ing the  blackheads  that  cause  them.  When 
blemishes  are  many  and  persistent,  a 
physician  should  be  consulted. 


4  Can  Coarse  Pores  be  reduced? 

Pores  are  naturally  smaller  in  some  skins 
than  in  others.  They  become  enlarged 
through  being  clogged  and  stretched  by 
secretions  from  within  the  skin.  They 
can  be  reduced  by  removing  the  clogging 
matter  and  keeping  the  skin  free  from 
further  clogging. 


5  When  do  Tissues  start  to  Sag? 

Sagging  is  rarely  noticeable  before  30  to 
35.  Then  the  rounded  contour  is  lost — 
notably  in  neck,  chin  and  cheek  line,  and 
under  the  eyes.  Here  the  skin  sags,  due  to 
loss  of  tone  in  the  fibres  underneath  the 
skin,  to  fatty  degeneration  of  the  muscles, 
diminished  circulation,  failing  nutrition  of 
the  underskin.  To  avoid  sagging,  keep  the 
under  tissues  toned. 


The  Underskin — where  Skin  Faults  begin 

If  you  could  see  through  the  epidermis  into  your  under- 
skin, you  would  discover  an  amazing  network  of  tiny 
blood  vessels,  cells,  nerves,  fat  and  muscle  tissues,  oil 
and  sweat  glands)  On  these  depends  the  beauty  of  your 
outer  skin.  When  they  grow  sluggish,  look  out  for 
blackheads,  coarseness,  blemishes,  line — wrinkles]

Keep  Unc/erSk/n  Active 

to  keep  Skin Jaults  away 


YOU    SEE,    from   the  authoritative 
answers  given   above,   skin  faults 
practically  all  begin  in  your  underskin. 

No  matter  what  the  fault,  its  impor- 
tant needs  are  keeping  the  under  tissues 
vigorous  and  the  skin  clean.

Cream  has  cherished  the  beauty  of  the

Cold  Cream.  Its  specially  processed 
light  oils  sink  deep,  flush  away  evprj 
particleof  dust,  make-up.  skin  impurities.

EYE    THE    SUN ! 

Lucky  the  girl  who  can  eye  the  sun — un- 
afraid .  .  .  of  his  irank  remarks  about  her 
beauty!  But  it  isn't  so  difficult.  Apply  make- 
up discreetly.  (You  know  how  outspoken 
friend  Sol  can  be  about  too  much  powder, 
rouge,  lipstick!)  Then  curl  your  eyelashes 
with  Kurlash.  Without  heat,  cosmetics,  or 
practice,  this  marvelous  little  implement 
gives  you  a  natural  beauty  point  that  is 
more  flattering  in  strong  sunlight.  Your 
lashes  will  look  longer,  darker  —  sun- 
silhouetted  in  lovely  shadows.  Kurlash  $1 — 
and  you're  a  sun-proof  beauty  right  away! 


And  let  me  tell  you  that  even  in  the  full 
glare  of  beach  or  tennis  court,  a  wee  bit  of 
colorful  eye  shadow,  Shadette,  will  be  al- 
most invisible  but  most  flattering!  While 
Lashtint,  the  perfumed  liquid  mascara, 
will  darken  your  lashes  in  an  amazingly

Another  clever  trick!  Rub  a  little  Kurlene 
into  your  lashes  before  you  face  the  sun.  It 
will  set  silken  rainbows  dancing  in  them 
.  .  .  while  just  a  film  of  it  over  your  upper 
lids  will  give  you  a  lovely  "dewy"  look

Romance  Gets  in  His  Hair 


(Continued  from  puf/e  43) 


serious-minded  small-town  girls  he  had 
grown  up  with  in  Sheldon,  Missouri, 
where  he  was  born  in  1905,  she  had 
everything. 

Against  the  advice  of  family  and 
friends,  the  love-smitten  six-footer 
chucked  the  law.  He  resigned  the  part- 
time  job,  selling  electrical  gadgets  for 
an  electric  company,  which  had  been  pay- 
ing his  school  expenses,  and  got  himself 
a  full-time  one  with  a  shoe  company.  He 
began  planning  the  home  they  would  have 
some  day,  a  big,  cheerful  one  with  a  yard 
around  it  and  children,  their  children, 
romping  in  the  yard. 

But  these  plans  he  did  not  share  with 
her.  He  hadn't  the  right  to,  he  reasoned, 
until  he  could  ask  her  to  marry  him.  And 
he  couldn't  do  that  until  he  got  a  couple 
more  raises. 

Unfortunately  for  him,  she  was  no 
mind  reader.  All  she  knew  was  that 
while  her  friends  shopped  ecstatically  for 
bridal  veils  and  wedding  rings,  her  time 
was  being  monopolized  by  a  handsome, 
dark  young  man  who  never  even  alluded 
to  the  altar. 

Gradually  little  things  that  hadn't 
seemed  important  at  first  began  to  assume 
sinister  significance.  She  pouted  when 
he  worked  late  and  kept  her  waiting.  And 
Brad,  although  he  had  never  asked  her 
not  to  see  other  men.  sulked  like  a  school- 
boy whenever  she  mentioned  another  man. 
One  evening  when  he  was  tardier  than 
usual  and  she,  to  punish  him.  perhaps, 
rattled  on  about  a  "date"  she'd  had  the 
night  before,  affairs  between  them  reached 
a  climax. 

"It  seems  to  me  you're  seeing  a  lot  of 
him,"  observed  Brad  acridly. 

"Well.  I'm  not  seeing  nearly  as  much 
of  him  as  L'm  going  to,"  she  hotly  re- 
torted. "Maybe  you  don't  realize  it,  but 
I'm  sick  of  waiting  around  for  you.  .  .  ." 

The  war,  the  lovers'  war,  was  on.  Be- 
fore it  had  run  its  course.  Brad  had 
stamped  out  of  her  home — and  life. 
Young  (he  was  only  twenty-two  then) 
and  hot-headed,  he  would  teach  her  not 
to  flaunt  her  playboy  pals  in  the  face  of 
an  industrious  young  business  man. 

Next  day,  instead  of  obeying  his  im- 
pulses and  calling  her  contritely,  he  main- 
tained an  anguished,  an  almost  adolescent 
silence :  and  before  he  realized  it  his 
muteness  had  developed  into  a  habit  which 
his  pride  made  it  difficult  to  break.  When 
he  finally  broke  it,  it  was  too  late.  She 
was  engaged  to  another,  an  older  and 
wealthier  man. 

All  that  happened  seven  or  eight  years 
ago.  In  the  interim  Brad  has  been  magic- 
ally metamorphosed  from  a  struggling 
and  unsophisticated  young  shoe-salesman 
into  one  of  CBS'  most  successful  an- 
nouncers. Yet  only  the  other  evening,  as 
we  dawdled  over  cool  drinks  in  the  living- 
room  of  the  handsome  skyscraper  apart- 
ment he  now  shares  with  his  sister  on 
Chicago's  fashionable  Gold  Coast,  he  told 
me:  "I'll  never  marry  until  I  find  another 
girl  like  her." 


Something  about  the  firm  set  of  his 
well-modeled  chin  as  he  spoke  those  words 
gave  me  courage  to  ask  him  a  question  I 
have  often  wanted  to  :  Was  it  true,  what 
certain  people  said,  that  he  had  grabbed 
his  first  big  network  job  in  N'ew  York  to 
get  out  of  an  altar  engagement  with  a 
California  heiress? 

Of  course  he  denied  it.  Nevertheless 
his  grave  glance  brightened  swiftly  as  he 
began  to  talk  about  the  girl  to  whom  I 
"must  be  referring." 

He  had  met  her  in  the  western  screen 
citadel,  whither  Fate  piloted  him  shortly 
after  his  first  romantic  crack-up.  He  had 
started  for  San  Francisco  to  enter  busi- 
ness, stopped  over  in  Los  Angeles  to 
look  around,  and  wound  up  as  announcer 
for  Station  KMTR  in  Holly  wood.  There 
she  came  one  evening,  one  of  a  group  of 
sleekly  smart  Pasadena  socialites  who 
wanted  to  see  how  radio  programs  were 
put  on  the  air.  Someone  introduced  them. 
After  that  he  saw  her  often. 

She  was  the  archetype  of  a  young 
man's  dream  of  a  society  girl  come  true. 
She  was  pretty.  She  was  popular.  When 
he  took  her  to  dinner  in  a  dirty-spoon 
restaurant  close  to  the  studio,  she  was  as 
gracious  and  gay  as  when  she  reciprocated 
his  hospitality  in  her  parents'  Louis  A7f 
dining-room.  In  fact  there  was  only  one 
thing  he  found  to  dislike  about  her. 

He  discovered  that  one  evening  when 
he  was  taking  her  home  from  a  party. 
As  he  was  leaving,  he  remarked  that  he 
wouldn't  be  seeing  her  the  following  night, 
that  he  expected  to  work  very  late. 

"Well,  don't  overdo,  darling,"  she  re- 
plied lightly.  "And  don't  lose  your  shirt. 
Remember  the  last  time  you  worked  late?" 
She  giggled. 

Now  it  sounds  incredible.  I  know,  for 
an  intelligent  young  man  to  fall  out  of 
love  with  a  charming  and  companionable 
girl  simply  because  she  is  so  mentally 
alert  that  she  can  distinguish  his  whit 
lies  from  faded  facts.  Still  it  is  precisely 
what  ensued. 

Although  Brad  continued  to  enjoy  her 
society,  he  began  to  notice  that  after  he' 
been  with  her  a  while  he  invariably  f 
like  a  toy  balloon  into  which  a  mischiev 
child  had  been  slyly  poking  pins.  D 
flated '.  Her  playful  jabs,  instead 
puncturing  his  ego,  however,  had  an  op- 
posite effect.  They  agitated  his  ambition 
to  a  point  where  he  resolved  to  make 
good  before  the  microphone,  if  only  to 
have  the  laugh  on  her ! 

At  Station  KMTR  where  he  met  her. 
Brad  also  had  come  to  know  Harry  Yon 
Zell.  Yon  Zell  is  now  one  of  Columbia's 
ace  announcers,  but  then  he  was  just  an- 
other popular  Pacific  Coast  voice;  and 
when  he  went  East  to  accept  his  first  net- 
work assignment,  he  told  Brad :  "As  soon 
as  I  catch  on  in  N'ew  York.  I'll  send  for 
you."  Coincidentally  enough,  a  telegram 
signed  "Harry",  informing  him  of  an 
opening  at  CBS's  Gotham  studios,  arrived 
just  then. 

What  would  you  do.  if  a  golden  oppor

tunity  like  that  came  along,  and  the  only 
reason  you  could  find  for  not  accepting  it 
was  a  drawing-room  darling  who  play- 
fully persisted  in  building  up  her  super- 
iority complex  at  your  expense?  Well, 
that's  what  Brad  did !  And  as  he  watched 
the  lofty  spires  of  Los  Angeles  dissolve 
into  the  golden  haze  behind  him,  he  told 
himself  severely  that  from  that  day  on- 
ward he  was  through  with  romance. 
Through ! 

But  no  young  man  in  full  possession  of 
his  faculties  could  have  remained  true  to 
such  a  ridiculous  resolution  after  glimps- 
ing The  Actress.  Brad  saw  her  first  at  a 
cocktail  party  in  New  York.  She  was 
seated  apart  from  the  other  guests,  listen- 
ing raptly  as  the  melodic  strains  of  a 
Brahms'  intermezzo  poured  through  the 
radio.  Her  vibrant  charm,  like  a  magnet, 
drew  him  to  her.  Elbowing  his  way 
through  the  crowded  room,  he  spoke  to 
her!    "So  you  like  Brahms,  too?" 

She  looked  up,  surprised,  her  quick 
glance  expertly  appraising  the  handsome 
stranger  bent  over  her.  "I  love  him  I"  she 
said,  and  smiled.    "Sit  down  I" 

That  was  the  genesis  of  a  new  ro- 
mance ;  an  adventure  in  love  which  intro- 
duced the  young  man  from  Missouri  not 
only  to  Broadway  and  Park  Avenue,  but 
to  Carnegie  Hall  and  the  "Met."  Many 
of  the  symphonies  and  concertos,  whose 
intricate  names  and  movements  you  hear 
him  announce  so  fluently  over  the  air  on 
Sunday  evenings,  he  came  to  know  then. 
Xor  was  music  the  only  bond  between 
them. 

Let  it  suffice  to  say  that  their  friend- 
ship might  easily  have  matured  into  some- 
thing fine,  something  enduring,  save  for 
one  thing.    She  was  too  gorgeous! 

If  you  know  your  gorgeous  girls,  you 
know  what  that  means.  With  an  arro- 
gance born  of  her  stage  success,  she  as- 
sumed that  Brad  must  be  as  interested  in 
her  affairs  as  she,  herself,  was.  Yet 
when  he  sought  to  discuss  his  own  prob- 
lems, she  adroitly  changed  the  subject  or 
listened,  with  an  air  of  faint  amusement. 

Naturally  he  resented  her  attitude.  Still 
it  was  all  so  new  and  novel  for  him  to  be 
sticking  a  white  carnation  in  his  button- 
hole and  trailing  around  with  a  glamorous 
prima  donna  at  whom  people  stared,  that 
he  deliberately  overlooked  it.  He  did, 
that  is,  until  one  evening  when  she 
phoned  the  studio  and  peremptorily  bade 
him  to  meet  her  after  her  show.  "We're 
going  places,"  she  said. 

"But  surely  you  know  I  can't,"  he  said. 
"I'm  on  duty  here  tonight." 

"On  duty?"  she  laughed.  "What  differ- 
ence does  that  make?  If  they  fire  you, 
I'll  see  that  you  get  another  job." 

Now  Brad  never  doubted  but  that  her 
friendship  could  easily  serve  him  as  a 
stairway  to  another  position.  Neverthe- 
less he  is  descended  from  rugged  pioneers 
who  made  the  excursion  overland  to  Mis- 
souri in  the  days  when  travelers  did  their 
own  trail-breaking.  Consequently  her  sug- 
gestion that  he  jeopardize  his  career  to 
take  her  to  a  party  not  only  aroused  all 
the  stubbornness  in  his  nature,  but  ab- 
ruptly awakened  him  to  the  futility  of 
their  friendship.    What  did  she  think  he 


rom  page  56) 

was?    A  gigolo?    Well,  he  would  sho' 
her! 

He  was  unhappily  wondering  how  to  ((I 
this  when  a  wire  from  the  West  offert 
a    suggestion.     His    lormer   boss  wou 
make  it  worth  his  while  financially  if  1^ 
would  return  to  Station  KMTR.    So  fill 
the  second  time  in  his  twenty-six  year 
Brad  showed  his  heels  to  Cupid. 

But  screenland's  glittering  capit 
served  merely  as  a  spring-board  for  h|j 
second  plunge  into  the  network  pools  < 
the  East  Back  in  New  York  six  montl 
later,  Brad  warily  avoided  the  prirr 
donna.  Yet  in  his  zeal  to  elude  her,  1 
encountered  her  antithesis — an  obscui 
working-girl. 

She  was  an  amiable  person,  naive  arl] 
charming,  who,  when  she  lifted  her  limp 
gaze  to  his,  let  him  know  that  she  wal 
looking  at  the  biggest  gun  on  Manhattan j

ever  he  wanted  to  do.    Not  since  he  ha' 
slammed  the  door  on  the  girl  in  Kansa' 
City  had  he  met  one  of  the  opposite  se' 
whose  moods   synchronized   so  perfectl 
with     his    own.      Subconsciously,  h: 
thoughts  began  turning  toward  the  alta 
Then  something  happened.  .  .  . 

One  day  she  dropped  in  unexpectedly  <, 
the  studio.  "I've  something  to  tell  you.r 
she  greeted  him  excitedly.  "Somethinl 
terribly  thrilling  1  I  couldn't  keep  it  ail 
other  minute." 

"What  is  it?"  he  asked,  unsuspecting.! 

"I've  just  enrolled  at  the  — "  from  he 
eager  lips  tumbled  the  name  of  a  dramati, 
school  well  known  in  New  York.  "I't 
going  to  be  an  actress !  I'm  tired  o 
being  just  a  working-girl.  I  want  to  b 
glamorous  !" 

Were  this  a  screen  drama,  that  girl  no\ 
no  doubt  would  be  not  only  one  of  Broad 
way's  first  ladies,  but  also  Mrs.  Trumaj 
Bradley.  However,  this  happens  to  be 
fact  story.  So  duty  impels  me  to  add  tha; 
when  ambition  entered  her  soul,  lov 
fluttered  out  of  Brad's  heart. 

Hence  he  had  no  trouble  in  saying 
"Yes,"  when  his  great  friend,  Goodma- 
Ace,  whom  he  had  known  years  before  i ' 
Kansas  City,  chanced  upon  him  in  Nev 
York  and  asked  him  if  he  would  come  II 
Chicago  and  join  the  cast  of  "Easy  Aces. 

Following  that,  his  third  major  retrea 
from  romance,  Brad  resolved  to  take  n<i 
further  chances  with  Cupid.  Towards  tha 
end  he  started  coaxing  his  older  sisteri 
Elene,  to  transfer  her  business  to  Wind- 
City.  And  today  one  of  the  favoritJ

If  I  have  emphasized  here  only  the  ro

brown  hair,  it  is  because  I  want  you  tc

Madame  X 
investigates: 


the  truth  about  laxatives 
—  as  told  to  Madame  X, 
the  Ex-Lax  reporter 

THIS  is  Madame  X,  the  inquiring 
reporter  on  assignment  for  Ex -Lax, 
the  world  famous  chocolated  laxative. 

The  Ex -Lax  Company  said  to  me: 
"Pack  a  bag  . . .  hop  a  train  ...  go  here, 
there  and  everywhere.  Get  the  real  folks 
of  this  country  to  tell  you  what  THEY 
think  about  Ex -Lax.  We  want  the  plain 
facts.  Go  into  any  town,  walk  along  any 
street,  ring  any  doorbell.  Get  the  story." 
Here  are  a  few  jottings  from  my  note- 
book. 

"EFFECTIVE" ..  ."I  used  everything 
but  nothing  relieved  me  until  I  took 
Ex-Lax."  Frank  H.  Port,  118-48  —  154th 
Street,  Jamaica,  Long  Island. 

"GENTLE" ..  ."It  is,  therefore,  very 
important  when  I  take  a  laxative  that 
it  be  one  that  is  not  harsh,  yet  it  must 
be  effective."  Mrs.  Anne  E.  Stadt,  7401 
4th  Avenue,  Brooklyn,  New  York. 

"EASY  TO  TAKE"  ..."I  prefer  Ex-Lax 
to  all  laxatives  because  it's  easy  to  take 
and  I  like  the  taste."  Pilot  William 
Warner,  Floyd  Bennett  Field,  Brooklyn, 
New  York. 

"NON-HABIT-FORMING". .  ."I  don't 
think  one  should  take  laxatives  all  the 
time,  but  only  when  one  needs  it.  With 
Ex -Lax  I  get  the  desired  result  and 
don't  believe  it  forms  a  habit."  Miss 
Bessie  M.  Bean,  5687  Hub  Street,  Los 
Angeles,  California. 

Ex-Lax  comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  — 
at  any  drug  store.  Insist  on  the  genuine, 
spelled  E-X-L-A-X.

Radio  Stars'  Cooking  Schoo 


(Continued  from  payc  50) 


"Well,"  replied  Annette,  "in  summer  I 
go  in  for  salads  and  different  egg  dishes. 
It's  great  fun  to  discover  how  many  new 
combinations  you  can  achieve  with  these. 
I've  evolved  some  pets! 

"The  nice  part  about  salads  and  eggs 
is  that  there  are  so  many  ways  of  fixing 
them  that  don't  take  very  long,"  she  went 
on.  "In  New  York,  in  general — and  in 
the  Radio  game  in  particular — time  seems 
to  be  at  a  premium.  It's  hurry,  hurry, 
hurry!  Late  breakfast,  rehearsal,  hair 
dresser,  lunch — in  the  afternoon  going 
over  one's  songs  at  home,  a  new  dress  to 
be  bought  with  which  to  make  a  favorable 
impression  on  the  studio  audience — a  hur- 
ried dinner  (a  very  light  one  if  I'm  broad- 
casting that  evening)  and  to  the  studio 
or  to  a  theatre  in  the  evening.  And  so  it 
goes !  Each  day  is  a  rush  from  the  mo- 
ment I  open  my  eyes,"  (and  such  lovely 
eyes !  It's  too  bad  Annette  can't  broad- 
cast them!)  "to  the  late  hour  when  I  drag 
my  weary  self  to  bed.  That's  why  I've 
had  to  learn  to  conserve  time  and  energy 
in  cooking  as  in  everything  else.  And  of 
course  I  am  limited  as  to  space,  as  you 
can  see  \" 

One  of  the  nicest  ways  to  get  around 
the  lack-of-time  element,  Annette  has  dis- 
covered (even  as  you  and  I)  is  to  have  a 
well-stocked  refrigerator  from  which 
salad  "fixin's"  can  be  procured  at  a  mo- 
ment's notice.  Lettuce  or  other  salad 
greens  should  be  stored  there,  washed  and 
ready  at  all  times  for  immediate  use. 
Then,  too,  if  you  have  an  automatic  re- 
frigerator, as  Annette  has,  the  hydrator 
can  be  stocked  with  such  things  as  to- 
matoes, carrots,  water  cress  and  celery — 
while  jars  of  your  favorite  salad  dress- 
ings together  with  chili  sauce,  mustard, 
pickles,  olives  and  the  like  stand  on  the 
refrigerator  shelves  ready  to  do  their 
share  towards  achieving  perfection.  Be- 
sides these,  according  to  Miss  Hanshaw, 
you  should  always  keep  on  hand  a  reg- 
iment of  eggs,  various  brands  of  cheese 
and  other  ingredients  to  throw  into  the 
breach  as  "shock  troops"  to  stem  the  tide 
of  advancing  hunger  at  a  moment's  notice. 

The  small-quarters  difficulties  can  be  im- 
measurably overcome  by  having  helpful 
electrical  table  equipment  such  as  per- 
colator, sandwich  toaster,  waffle  iron,  grill 
and  chafing  dish,  Annette  has  discovered. 

"My  chafing  dish  is  great  fun  to  use," 
Annette  told  me,  "and  it  does  away  com- 
pletely with  the  necessity  for  jumping  up 
constantly  and  leaving  my  guests,  while  I 
watch  what's  happening  on  the  stove  in 
the  kitchen!  With  a  percolator  bubbling 
away  on  a  small  side  table,  a  bowl  of 
crisp  salad  on  the  larger  table,  a  chafing 
dish  on  a  tray  flanked  by  bowl  and  pitch- 
ers containing  the  necessary  ingredients 
for  one  of  my  favorite  egg  dishes,  one  of 
Hattie's  Chocolate  Angel  Cakes  in  the 
Cake  Box,  I  am  ready — one,  two,  three — 
for  some  easy  entertaining." 

It  does  sound  easy  as  Annette  de- 
scribes it,  doesn't  it?    And  charmingly  in- 


formal as  well.  All  that  remained  to 
make  me  want  to  rush  home  immediately, 
ask  in  three  people  (Annette  limits  her 
supper  parties  to  four)  and  pay  Annette 
the  flattery  of  imitation,  was  to  hear  her 
describe  the  foods  she  serves  on  such  oc- 
casions. That  settled  it.  Now  I  also  am 
a  confirmed  egg-and-salad  enthusiast! 
Read  on,  then,  and  become  one,  too ! 

Let's  start  with  Annette's  salads,  which 
are  of  the  combined  type  rather  than  of 
the  cooked-and-cooled  or  molded  variety, 
although  there  is  one  special  Fruit  Salad 
Mold  she  favors,  and  which  I  am  going 
to  give  you  in  this  month's  leaflet. 

One  of  the  easiest  salads  to  prepare  is 
Annette's  version  of  Combination  Salad. 
And  what  a  combination !  Not  one 
vegetable  among  those  called  for_  has  ever 
paid  even  the  shortest  of  visits  to  the  fam- 
ily stove  before  popping  into  the  salad! 
Into  the  salad  bowl  (which  can  be  rubbed 
with  garlic  if  you  like  the  flavor)  goes 
some  shredded  lettuce,  a  few  sprigs  of 
water  cress;  a  tablespoonful  of  chopped 
parsley.  To  this  are  added  enough 
vegetables  to  suit  the  taste  and  to  take 
care  of  the  number  of  diners  expected. 
(But  I  warn  you  to  be  generous  in  figur- 
ing the  required  amounts  because  everyone 
will  devour  unheard  of  quantities!)  The 
vegetables  called  for  include  old  friends 
such  as  chopped  celery,  shredded  cab- 
bage and  peeled,  quartered  tomatoes.  Tiny 
new  carrots  are  then  added.  (They  should 
be  scraped  and  cut  into  extremely  thin 
strips.)  Then — surprise!  surprise! — An- 
nette adds  raw  cauliflower !  The  way  to 
do  this  is  to  soak  a  few  buds  of  cauliflow- 
er in  icy  water  until  very  crisp — 
drain  off  the  water,  cut  the  cauliflower 
into  paper-thin  pieces,  dust  liberally 
with  celery  salt  and  add  to  the  other  in- 
gredients. Another  unusual  note  may  be 
introduced  into  this  salad  by  frying  little 
squares  of  bread  in  butter  to  make 
golden  brown  croutons  which  are  scat- 
tered over  the  top  of  the  contents  of  the 
bowl  just  before  serving  time.  A  rich 
French  dressing  is  poured  over  this  salad 
at  the  table  and  the  whole  is  tossed  lightly 
in  the  bowl  with  salad  fork  and  spoon 
until  thoroughly  blended.  Try  it  some- 
time ! 

Occasionally  Miss  Hanshaw  serves  a 
sweet  salad  instead  of  a  dessert.  A  re- 
cipe for  her  very  own  Date  and  Orange 
Wheels  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  this 
article.  Included  also  is  a  new  salad- 
dressing  recipe  which  you'll  love  to 
serve  with  many  another  fruit  salad  com- 
bination. 

Speaking  of  fruit  salads,  I  have  al- 
ready mentioned,  you  may  recall,  that  this 
month's  leaflet  contains  a  recipe  for 
Fruit  Salad  Mold  with  which  Annette  has 
dazzled  her  friends,  on  occasion,  at  the 
cost  of  only  a  few  minutes  of  her  pre- 
cious time,  expended  in  its  preparation. 
And  the  salad-dressing  that  goes  with  this 
salad  is  a  dream,  too !  Your  guests  will 
admire,  your  family  will  rave!

Two  other  recipes  are  included  in  the 
leaflet — one  of  them  is  tor  the  Chocolate 
Angel  Food  Cake — Annette  Hanshaw's 
favorite  dessert  when  made  by  her  maid. 
The  other  is  a  recipe  for  a  delicious  way 
(to  serve  plain  hard-boiled  eggs  dressed  up 
with  a  really  knockout  sauce.  Which  re- 
minds me — I  haven't  even  had  room  to

W  kitchen  this  hot  weather?  I'm 
sure  I  don't!  That's  why  I'm  doubly 
delighted  to  have  discovered  Franco- 
American  Spaghetti.  It  not  only 
saves  me  work,  but  we  actually  like 
it  better  than  the  kind  I  used  to

it  costs  less  than  buying  dry  spa-

Things  Arnold  Johnson  Can't  Forget 


((initialled  from  [>ai/e  4H) 


"Who?  Me?"  demanded  the  startled 
■orchestra    leader.    "But    what'll    I  say?" 

"Anything.  Anything  so  long  as  you 
announce  their  numbers." 

Arnold  was  pretty  nervous  when  it  came 
time  to  introduce  Cantor.  "Ladies  and 
gentlemen  of  the  radio  audience,"  he  began 
in  the  best  manner  of  the  time.  "I  wish 
to  present  the  star  of  musical  comedy. 
Eddie  Cantor.  What  arc  you  going  to  sing 
for  us,  Eddie?" 

"What's  that  spot  on  your  vest,  Arnold," 
countered  Kddie. 

"The — the  what?"  Arnold  stuttered  in 
astonishment. 

"The  spot  on  your  vest,  there.  No — 
not  that  one.  That's  gravy.  I  mean  the 
soup  stain.  Where 'd  you  get  it?  You  didn't 
have  it  on  the  last  time  I  saw  you." 

The  orchestra  began  to  titter.  Arnold 
felt  his  face  reddening.  He  saw  that 
Cantor  was  trying  to  make  up  for  Broken- 
shire's  absence  by  ad  libbing,  but  he  real- 
ized with  horror  that  he  couldn't  keep  up 
his  end  of  it.  He  felt  his  tongue  growing 
thick. 

"I — uh — well,  I  guess  so,"  he  mumbled. 
And  his  voice  trembled,  grew  higher  and 
higher  in  pitch  until  it  broke  off  with  a 
squeak. 

When  Belle  Baker  had  her  turn,  she 
made  matters  worse.  Belle  had  elected  to 
sing.  "I  Love  You."  And  instead  of 
singing  the  chorus  as  written,  she  uttered 
with  great  feeling : 

"I  love  you,  Arnold  Johnson,  1  love 
you!" 

That  finished  Johnson.  He  can't  remem- 
ber what  he  said  on  the  rest  of  the  pro- 
gram. He'd  rather  not  try ! 

That  gives  you  an  idea  why  this  man's 
heart  goes  out  to  the  newcomers  who  are 
nervous  or  ill-at-ease  on  his  programs. 
But  let's  get  to  the  other  reasons  for  his 
sympathy  for  them — his  own  experience 
with  stars  of  today  who  were  nobodies 
when  he  first  knew  them. 

In  1915.  when  Arnold  was  directing  the 
three  orchestras  playing  in  Tait's  Cafe  in 
San  Francisco,  he  had  his  first  encounter 
with  Paul  Whiteman,  then  an  obscure  viola 
player  in  the  San  Francisco  Symphony 
Orchestra. 

Harry  Green,  leader  of  one  of  the 
orchestras,  needed  a  violinist.  He  recom- 
mended Whiteman  to  Johnson. 

"How  much  are  you  making  now?" 
Arnold  asked  Paul. 

"Thirty-five  dollars  a  week,"  Paul 
answered.  "Twenty-eight  playing  in  the 
symphony  orchestra  and  another  seven 
playing  noontimes  in  a  cafeteria." 

"I'll  pay  you  forty,"  Johnson  offered. 

Paul  was  dubious.  He  didn't  want  to 
leave  a  secure  position.  But  in  the  end 
he  decided  to  take  a  chance.  The  next  day 
Green  came  to  Johnson. 

"I  made  a  mistake,  I  guess.  This  guy 
Whiteman  is  terrible." 

Remember  that,  in  those  days,  playing 
popular  music  was  a  hit-or-miss  business. 
There  were  no  individual  arrangements 
for  each  member  of  the  orchestra.  The 
players  learned  the  melody  and  figured  out 
their  own  obligatos  and  variations  as  they 


went  along.  Paul,  accustomed  to  the  pre- 
cise scoring  of  symphonic  music,  was  com- 
pletely bewildered  by  this  catch-as-catch- 
can  delivery.  He  simply  couldn't  play  with 
them.  Johnson  explained  to  him  that  he'd 
have  to  let  him  go  at  the  end  of  two  weeks. 

"If  you  didn't  think  I  was  any  good," 
Paul  demanded  indignantly,  "why  did  you 
hire  me  in  the  first  place?  But  if  I'm 
not  wanted  I  certainly  don't  care  to  stay 
even  the  two  weeks." 

He  did  stay  that  long  though,  then  left. 
Before  he  saw  him  again,  three  others 
whose  names  were  then  unknown,  passed 
into  and  out  of  Arnold's  life.  They  were 
Fred  Waring,  Guy  Lombardo  and  Vincent 
Lopez. 

More  than  once  Guy  has  been  said  to 
attribute  the  inspiration  for  his  present 
style  of  playing  to  listening  to  Johnson's 
orchestra  night  after  night  at  the  Capitol 
Theatre  in  Detroit. 

Lombardo,  so  the  story  goes,  was  strug- 
gling along  with  a  small  orchestra  up  in 
Canada.  Lager  to  improve  it,  he  studied 
Johns  in's  use  of  four  flutes.  The  early 
influence  is  still  evident  in  the  flow  of 
the  Lombardo  music. 

That  was  in  1922.  Curiously  enough,  it 
was  the  same  year  that  Johnson  lent  a 
hand  to  a  then  unknown  ten-piece  band 
which  had  come  to  Detroit  on  a  dance 
tour.  The  band  was  called  "Waring's 
Pennsylvanians." 

In  those  days  Arnold  Johnson's  name 
was  emblazoned  on  theatres  and  cafes 
wherever  he  appeared,  as  one  of  the 
country's  outstanding  orchestra  leaders. 
It  was  natural  enough,  then,  for  the  War- 
ing group  to  seek  his  advice. 

Arnold  went  to  watch  them  rehearse. 
Their  instruments  were  old  and  battered 
but  they  made  spirited  music.  Johnson 
pointed  out  faults,  made  constructive  sug- 
gestions. Earnest  young  Waring  listened 
attentively.  Shortly  afterward  a  repre- 
sentative of  the  Adams  Theatres  came  to  J 
Detroit  to  see  Johnson  concerning  future 
appearances.  Johnson  mentioned  the  War-  '• 
ing  group  to  him. 

Soon  afterward,  the  Pennsylvanians, 
dressed  for  the  first  time  in  their  famous 
gold  costumes,  were  booked  by  this  agent 
into  the  Chicago  Theatre  tor  seven  hun- 
dred and  fifty  dollars  a  week.  It  was  the 
first  big  stage  appearance  of  the  Waring 
stage  and  radio  band. 

From  Detroit,  Johnson  went  to  New 
York  to  play  at  Reisenweber's  Cafe.  There 
he  unwittingly  started  another  orchestra' 
leader,  Vincent  Lopez,  on  the  path  to 
prominence. 

A  young  woman  by  the  name  of  White 
had  a  fancy  for  frequenting  Reisenweber's 
to  listen  to  Johnson's  orchestra.  She  had 
a  knack  of  playing  the  xylophone  smartly 
and  once  in  a  while  Johnson  would  let 
her  do  a  solo.  One  day  she  overheard 
Johnson  refusing  an  offer  to  play  at  the 
swank  Ross  Fenton  Farms  in  Xew  Jersey 
"Why  don't  you  recommend  the  orches- 
tra my  husband  is  playing  drums  in?"  the 
girl  asked  Arnold.  "It's  only  five  pieces  and 
it's  just  playing  in  Pat  Rooney's  act  in 
vaudeville  at  the  Palace  now,  but  it's  pretty

good.  It's  run  by  a  fellow  named  Vincent 
Lopez." 

Johnson  made  the  recommendation. 
Lopez  got  the  job.  From  the  Ross  Fenton 
Farms  he  went  to  the  Pennsylvania  Hotel 
in  New  York  City,  and  from  there  to 
fame. 

Not  long  afterward,  Arnold  had  his 
second  encounter  with  Paul  Whiteman. 
Paul  had  made  his  sensational  debut  at  the 
Palais  Royal  in  New  York.  Already  he 
had  been  nicknamed  the  King  of  Jazz. 

"You  damned  Swede,"  Paul  told  him  at 
that  meeting.  "When  you  fired  me  you 
made  me  so  mad  I  went  right  out  and 
started  my  own  orchestra.  If  you  hadn't 
fired  me.  I  might  never  have  done  it." 

There's  still  another  reason  why  Arnold 
Johnson  has  a  sympathy  for  the  underdog. 
He's  been  one  himself.  Until  1930  he  had 
gone  right  on  up  like  the  others  he  had 
known  when.  Then  suddenly  his  fortunes 
turned. 

For  two  years,  during  1928  and  1929, 
Johnson  had  been  conducting  the  orchestra 
on  that  Majestic  Hour.    When  his  con- 
tract had  run  out,  he  decided  he  had  had 
3ugh  of  waving  the  baton  in  cafes  and 
front  of  microphones.    He  was  going 
to  the  business  of  booking  orchestras.  He 
s  going  to  be  an  executive. 
With  eighteen  thousand  dollars  he  had 
_ved,  he  took  over  an  elaborate  suite  of 
'ces  on  Broadway.   It  had  green  plush 
s,  a  switchboard  and  thirty-two  em- 
yees.     Arnold's    office    looked  very 
iness-like. 

It  wasn't.  Arnold  had  over-reached  him- 
f  this  time.  It  was  too  late  when  he 
lized  he  wasn't  cut  out  for  this  kind  of 
:iness.  In  a  few  months  the  savings 
"re  all  gone  and  the  company  was  in 
'-ruptcy  for  another  thirty- four  thou- 
"d  dollars. 
He  went  to  advertising  agencies,  seeking 
new  program  for  his  orchestra.  They 
Id  him  his  name  had  been  too  closely 
•ssociated  with  Majestic  broadcasts.  That 

0  other  sponsor  would  want  him  for  some 
me.  Told  him  to  come  back  in  a  year  or 

TO. 

He  might  have  asked  for  a  job  playing 
t  the  orchestras  of  some  of  the  conductors 
e  had  known  when  they  were  less  form- 
ate. But  he  was  too  proud  to  do  that.  For 
early  a  year  it  became  a  matter  of  scrap- 
ig  up  a  few  dollars  here  and  there,  mostly 
jr  making  orchestral  arrangements. 
But  he  hadn't  come  all  that  way  to  take 
licking.  If  they  didn't  want  his  name,  he 
ould  organize  orchestras  and  put  them 

1  the  air  under  other  names.  Beginning 
rith  a  few  scattered  programs,  he  slowly 
orked  himself  back  into  the  running. 

I  Not  until  this  year  has  the  Arnold  John- 
fn  name  begun  again  to  mean  what  it 
ted  to.  Now  radio  respects  him.  Not  only 
pes  he  conduct  the  orchestra  on  that  ama- 
ur  hour,  but  he  picks  all  the  talent  from 
K  thousands  of  eager  neophytes  who 
(Fer  themselves. 

I,  Yes,  Arnold  Johnson  is  back  on  top  with 
e  men  he  knew  when  their  names  meant 
jtthing.  In  his  rich  experience  with  them 
has  learned  that  stars  can  come  from 
ningly  unpromising  material. 
|So  the  next  time  you  hear  that  fateful 
pd  in  G  come  crashing  through  your 
'ker,  remember  that  Arnold  feels  all  the 
npathy  that  you  feel  for  the  unfortu- 
te  victims.

something  about  Virginia  Fairfax— knew 
that  I  was  one  of  the  Fairfaxes  of  Virginia, 
that  I  had  done  social  settlement  work, 
nursing,  teaching.  Knew  that  I  had  a  pri- 
vate income  sufficient  for  my  modest 
needs.  Knew  that  Hying,  for  me,  was  not 
a  stunt  for  publicity,  not  for  fame  or  for- 
tune, but  because  of  a  deep  and  ever-grow- 
ing interest  in  this  new  adventure.  Flying 
and  radio  seem,  to  me,  the  most  exciting 
miracles  of  the  present  day. 

We  four  used  to  go  out  together  a  lot, 
lunch  together  at  the  field,  or  go  in  town 
for  dinner  and  a  show.  We  were  all  just 
good  friends,  without  a  thought  of  ro-. 
mance — till  one  evening  when  Barry  had 
brought  me  home  after  some  jollification 
we  all  had  shared  .  .  . 

"What  are  you  thinking?"  I  asked  him, 
as  he  sat  looking  at  me  thoughtfully 
through  the  smoke  of  a  cigarette. 

He  grinned  provocatively.  "Thinking  of 
something  old  Bill  said,  out  at  the  field 
this  afternoon." 

"Oh,"  I  said  casually.  And  added : 
"Bill's  sweet!" 

"He  gives  you  more  than  that  I"  Barry 
grinned  again.  "  'She's  the  real  stuff. 
Barry  !'  "  he  quoted.  "  'She's  no  flyin'  fool. 
She  has  brains,  as  well  as — beauty.  And 
she's  got  what  it  takes  .  .  .  She's  one  swell 
girl,  believe  me,  Barry !  And  she's  got  a 
sense  of  values.  She'll  take  life  as  she  takes 
riving,  chin  up,  and  wits  working  on  all 
cylinders.  She'll  make  life  a  great  ad- 
venture— for  someone.'  " 

It  touched  me.  I  couldn't  say  anything 
for  a  moment.  Then,  foolishly,  I  felt 
amused.  It  seemed  so  extravagant!  Dear 
old  Bill! 

Barry  was  still  studying  me  with  that 
odd,  speculative  gaze,  as  if  seeing  me  for 
the  first  time  in  a  new  light.  It  provoked 
me  a  little,  and,  to  tease  him,  I  said  wick- 
edly:  "Why  don't  you  speak  for  yourself. 
John?"  (Barry's  name  really  is  John,  but 
he  is  known  to  everyone  as  Barry  Barrett.) 

His  eyes  held  mine  strangely  for  a  mo- 
ment, and  again  I  felt  foolish  and  embar- 
rassed. I  laugheC.  but  before  I  could 
change  the  subject  he  burst  out : 

"If  I  thought  I  had  a  chance — I  would!" 
Then  a  sudden  radiance  softened  his  tense 
gaze.  "Virginia — "  his  voice  broke  husk- 
ily, "do  you  mean  " 

And  as  suddenly  I  felt  an  answering 
flame  in  my  own  heart.  As  suddenly  I 
knew  that  I  did  mean— what  I  had  not  be- 
fore guessed.    I  loved  him  ! 

My  eyes  must  have  told  him,  for  in  an 
instant  I  was  in  his  arms.  His  lips,  tender, 
adoring,  sought  mine  for  the  first  time. 
And  mine  met  them  with  complete  surren- 
der. 

"Oh,  Barry!"  I  said  at  last.  "Is  it 
really  true?" 

"It  must  be!"  He  spoke  with  awed  rap- 
ture. "It's  so  wonderful !  Oh.  my  darl- 
ing—my beautiful  beloved!  It  must  be 
true— just   because  it's  so  unbelievable!" 

Neither  of  us  thought  again  of  Bill,  nor 
of  what  fond  and  futile  dreams  may-  have 
been  briefly  his.  There  was  room  in  our 
hearts  for  nothing  but  each  other  and  our 
new-found  love.    Though,  oddly,  now  as 


I  recall  these  lost  sweet  moments,  I  re- 
member Bill's  face  as  he  and  Grace  watched 
us  take  off  from  the  field  that  late  after- 
noon on  our  Hying  honeymoon.  I  remem- 
ber that  he  looked  suddenly  white  and 
tired  and  old.  But  in  that  moment  I  for- 
got it,  as  I  looked  into  Barry's  eyes. 

How  wonderful  it  had  been — that  thrill- 
ing honeymoon !  Long  hours  of  rich  com- 
panionship. We  flew  around  the  world. 
We  were  feted  in  every  capital  of  the  globe. 
I  could  have  foregone  that,  but  Barry  loved 
it.  There  is  something  boyish  in  him  that 
responds  quickly  to  adulation  and  praise. 

That.  I  realize  now,  should  have  told 
me  something  then  .  .  .  Something  that  I 
have  learned  too  painfully,  too  late  .m 
But  how  should  I  guess  in  those  first  rap 
turous  weeks  and  months  that  he  was 
thrilled  not  merely  by  our  marriage  but 
by  the  fact  that  he  had  married  Virginia 
Fairfax.  That  his  wife  was  "the  fore- 
most American  woman  flyer" — and  "one 
of  the  Fairfaxes  of  Virginia !"  I  couldn't 
see  then  just  what  it  was  that  directed  his 
eager  seeking  of  the  great  ones  of  the 
world's  roster.  I  used  to  laugh  at  the 
fascination  titles  had  for  him — Lady  This, 
Prince  That,  His  Highness  .  .  . 

But,  somehow,  I  couldn't  laugh  at  the 
Countess  Morosini  .  .  . 

Barry  had  met  her  in  South  America. 

His  were  solitary  flights,  once  the  honey 
moon  was  over.  I  had  wanted  to  go  with 
him.  but  he  refused  to  permit  it.  He  pre- 
ferred, he  said,  to  feel  that  I  was  at  home 
with  a  light,  so  to  speak,  in  the  window, 
waiting  for  him  to  come  back  to  me.  They 
were  lovely  homecomings — at  first.  W< 
had  a  beautiful  new  home  in  Westchester 
And  I  loved  managing  it.  Loved  making 
it  a  frame,  a  setting  for  our  happiness 
Loved  digging  in  the  garden,  planting 
roses  along  winding  paths  where  two 
who  still  were  lovers  might  stroll  togethei 
in  the  moonlight.  I  didn't  miss  flying 
I  went  up  only  enough  to  keep  myself  anc 
my  ship  in  tune.  And  so  I  never  saw  the 
little  entering  wedges  that  were  to  spli( 
our  married  life  apart. 

Grace  used  to  come  out  often.  Ant 
when  I  went  to  town  Bill  would  squirt 
me  about,  when  Barry  was  away.  Wt 
still  were  the  same  good  friends  we  alway: 
had  been,  quite  casual  together  like  brothe: 
and  sister.  Often,  even  when  Barry  wa 
broadcasting  in  Xew  York,  he  was  too  oc 
cupied  to  have  much  time  for  me.  But 
was  unsuspicious.  I  never  have  been 
jealous,  demanding  wife.  Xever  havi 
asked  him  to  account  for  time  spent  away 
from  me. 

Xo  one  ever  mentioned  Sandra  to  me 
I  knew  of  her,  of  course.  Since  she  hat 
come  to  Xew  York  she  had  achieved  rathe- 
a  sensation  on  the  radio.  I  even  had  heart 
a  certain  broadcast  from  which  the  column 
ists  of  the  city  dailies  had  fashioned  pointed 
paragraphs.  The  announcer  had  been  sud 
denly  unable  to  appear,  and  they  had  ask& 
Barry  to  introduce  Sandra  as  guest  artis 
on  a  new  program.  She  had  kidded  hir 
slyly  before  the  mike,  and  had  ended 
romantic  song  with  the  words :  "I  love  yo 
— Barry  Barrett — /  love  you!"

But  that  did  not  disturb  me.  Even  if 
she  were  "making  a  play  for  him."  Hun- 
dreds of  women  sent  him  fan  letters.  And 
many  sought  him  out,  showered  him  with 
invitations  or  favors.  One  expects  that 
sort  of  thing.  It  didn't  occur  to  me  that 
it  could  menace  our  marriage. 

One  night  Bill  took  me  to  a  gala  radio 
party  celebrating  the  inauguration  of  a  new 
network.  He  brought  me  home  afterward, 
and,  just  as  he  was  leaving,  Barry  came 
in.  Bill  twitted  him  with  staying  away. 
He  had  been  supposed  to  be  there,  but  had 
been  "unavoidably  detained."  I  had  carried 

I  his  excuses  and  extended  congratulations  in 

(his  name. 

Barry  looked  confused.  "But  I  did  show 
up  later,"  he  said  mendaciously.  "Who  was 
that  lady  I  seen  you  with?"  he  joked. 

"That,"  Bill  grinned,  "was  no  lady — it 
iwas  your  wife  I" 

Then,  for  a  strained  moment,  their  eyes 
met  like  measured  lances. 
I   Barry  laughed.    "I  saw  you  and  Ginny," 
!he  said,  "but  I  couldn't  get  to  you  before 
lyou  left — the  crush,  you  know  " 

"I  know,"  I  extemporized  quickly.  "I 
ihought  of  waiting  for  you,  but  I  was  tired 
|— so  I  let  Bill  bring  me  home.'' 
I  "Well — so  long,"  Bill  said  abruptly,  and 
vent  off. 

Barry  began  to  explain,  but  I  felt,  sud- 
lenly,  a  knife  turning  in  my  heart.  He 
lad  come  close  to  me  and  I  caught  a  faint 
idor  of  perfume  on  his  coat.  Somehow  it 
ook  me  back  to  the  Little  Church  Around 
he  Corner — our  wedding  day — and  Barry 
•resenting  Sandra.  Sandra's  scent !  I 
adn't  even  realized  that  I  noticed  it  then 
-but  I  knew  now.  .  .  . 

Grace  Meldrum  came  to  see  me  the  next 
i ay.  We  chatted  casually,  but  gradually  I 
sit  something  in  her  thoughts  taking  shape 
etween  us,  like  a  genii  released  from  its 
ir! 

"I  suppose  you — know,"  she  said  at  last, 
'ith  a  faint  sigh.  "Is  there  something  I 
an  do?  I've  been  trying  to  think,"  she 
ent  on,  as  I  did  not  answer  at  once,  "but 
ly  way  I  can  figure  out  seems  to  involve 
arry  in  unpleasant  scandal — or  notori- 
y  .  .  .  I'm  not  troubled  about  him  par- 
cularly,"  she  added  in  a  voice  suddenly 
ML  "but  I  don't  want  to  hurt  you — more 
|ian  you  must  be  hurt !" 
I  still  couldn't  speak.  "Let's  go  for  a 
ie,"  I  said  at  last,  with  an  effort.  "It's 
[ich  a  heavenly  day." 

'We  drove  out  into  the  country  and  had

"Bill's  awfully  cut  up,"  Grace  said

the  hills.  "He'd  like  to  beat  Barry  up!

lat  Bill  would  die  for  you !"  Her  lips 
listed  wryly. 
Uid  in  that  moment  I  saw  another  bid-

many  physicians  w  ho  have  reported  remarkable 
success  with  the  new  yeast.  He  Is  Physlclan- 
In-chlef  of  the  Hospice  d'lvry,  near  Paris. 


No  ordinary  diet  supplies  enough 
of  these  substances—  not  even  diets 
with  fruits  and  vegetables.  But  one 
food  is  extremely  rich  in  them.  This 
is  the  new  Fleischmann's  Yeast! 

This  new  fresh  yeast  increases  the  flow 
of  your  stomach's  juice,  stimulates  and 
strengthens  the  muscles  of  your  stomach 
and  intestines. 

As  a  result,  your  food  "digests"  better 
— elimination  becomes  normal — your 
system  is  freed  from  the  bowel  poisons 
which  so  often  cause  unnatural  fatigue — 
indigestion— skin  troubles.  Begin  now  to 
eat  the  new  Fleischmann's  Yeast  and  cat 
it  regularly,  following  the  rules  below:— 


Eat  thrrr  (or  mi  -ri  cakrt  of  Fleischmann's  Yeast 
each  day — plain,  or  in  water,  milk,  or  fruit  juice. 
Eat  it  one-half  hour  before  meals  so  it  can  start 
your  digestive  juices  flowing  before  other 
food  enters  your  stomach. 
If  you're  taking  cathartic*,  discontinue 
them  gradually,  /rave  a  regular  time  for 
evacuation — preferably  after  breakfast. 
At  grocers,  soda  fountains,  restaurants.

I !  Oh,  never  again,  I  felt,  could  I  be  happy  ! 
Never  again  could  I  dwell  in  that  fond, 
sweet  Paradise  of  romantic  illusion!  And 
Barry — would  he  marry  Sandra?  And  if 
he  did — would  he  be  happy?  Somehow  I 
doubted  it. 

That  night  Barry  came  home  late  again. 
I  hadn't  waited  up  for  him.  I  didn't  want 
to  catch  again  a  hint  of  that  hateful,  subtle 
scent  on  his  coat. 

After  he  had  bathed  he  came  into  my 
room  in  pyjamas  and  dressing-gown.  "I 
saw  your  light — "  he  said. 

I  gave  him  a  welcoming  smile,  but  my 
heart  ached  with  that  knife-like  wound. 
How  handsome  he  was !  And  he  looked 
so  competent,  so  strong  .  .  .  What  weak- 
ness was  it  that  now  was  threatening  our 
happy  life  together?  Or  was  it  only  the 
same  thing  that  had  made  him  so  easily, 
my  husband?  Was  Sandra  just  another  of 
his  worshipful  fans?  Or  was  she  truly  the 
one  woman  for  htm?  Did  he  really  want 
her?  Or  was  he,  perhaps,  risking  some- 
thing really  dear  to  him  for  something  that 
soon  would  have  run  its  brief  course? 

"Feeling  fit,  Barry?"  I  asked  him. 

He  flexed  his  muscles.  His  eyes  shone. 
"Great!"  he  said.  Then,  abruptly:  "Think 
I'll  be  taking  off  tomorrow  .  .  .  Tomorrow  , 
or  next  day.  Cuba,  this  time.  Looking  over 
the  latest  revolution." 

"Would  you  take  a  lady  along?" 

"Well — not  exactly — "  He  caught  him- 
self. "You  wouldn't  want  to  go.  Likely 
to  be  all  hell  popping,  where  I'll  be." 

"If  it's  popping  anywhere,  that's  where 
you'll  be."  I  smiled.  "Still —  there  are 
places — in  Havana,  perhaps — where  I  sup- 
pose it  would  be  safe — to  relax — between 
pops?"  I  found  it  hard  to  get  the  words 
out,  somehow. 

But  he  grinned  boyishly.  "Maybe — may- 
be not  .  .  .  Sandra  was  going  down  there 
on  a  matter  of  business.  I  rather  warned 
her  against  it." 

He  had  brought  out  that  name  between 
us,  at  last.  Casually,  too.  Did  that  mean 
he  cared — or  didn't  care?  Suppose  I  insis- 
ted on  going  w-ith  him?  Suppose  he 
objected? 

I  wouldn't  test  it.  "Well—"  I  said,  after 
a  moment,  "happy  landings,  old  dear!  I 
guess  you'll  know  where  to  find  me,  when 
you — get  back." 

"Bill  told  me  you'd  had  your  ship  all 
tuned  up."  He  changed  the  subject 
abruptly.  "You  haven't  been  making  plans, 
have  you?  Or  should  I  be  the  last  to 
know?"  There  was  a  slight  edge  in  his 
voice — an  edge  that  came,  I  realized,  from 
resentment  at  Bill's  unspoken  reproach. 

"Sit  down — "  I  patted  the  bed,  and  he 
sat  hesitantly  on  the  foot  of  it.  "I  am 
thinking — just  thinking  about  taking  off — 
that  flight  I  talked  over  with  you  some 
time  ago — to  South  America.  I  get  the 
urge,  sometimes,"  I  added.  "Other  things 
— go  slack  ...  In  the  air,  you  get  back 
a  lost  perspective." 

"Have  you  lost  yours,  Ginny?"  He 
looked  apprehensive. 

"Everyone  does,  at  intervals,  I  think  .  . . 
Do  you  know  just  what  really  matters, 
always — what  you  really  want  most?" 

He  was  silent.  The  little  electric  clock 
by  my  bed  clicked  faintly.  And  in  that 
moment's  stillness  I  nearly  grasped  my 
answer.  I  felt  that  everything  in  him  urged 
him  to  cry  out:  "I  want  you,  Ginny!  No 
one — nothing  else!"    But  he  was  tangled 


in  a   web  of  his  own  weaving — that  i 
partly   his   own,   partly  circumstances'- 
partly  Sandra's.    He  had  to  get  clear 
his  own  mind,  before  he  could  speak, 
understood,  I  felt.   And  I  longed  to  con 
fort  him. 

"Well — "  I  tried  to  speak  quite  casuall 
"if  you  don't — you  will.  If  you  want  an; 
thing  enough,  you'll  see  it  clearly,  eventi 
ally.  Such  unpredictable  things  cloud  tl 
issues,  sometimes  .  .  .  Emotions,  mood 
scents  .  .  .  The  timbre  of  a  voice,  U

seem  to  have  old  significances  .  .  .  ^ 
have  to  get  away  from  ourselves,  son* 
times — to  see  where  we  stand  .  .  ." 

He  looked  at  me  thoughtfully.  "Wi 
little  Ginny,"  he  said. 

Again  the  clock  clicked  faintly,  ft 
looked  at  it  with  a  little  grimace. 

"Lord,  what  an  hour!"  He  rose  hastil 
"Guess  I'll  roll  in  and  let  you  get  yot 
beauty  sleep."  He  bent  over,  kissed  ir 
ear — and  left  me. 

I  went  to  the  field  the  next  mornin; 
I  had  a  plan — I'd  been  working  out  tl 
details  quite  secretly.  I  didn't  want  ant

When  I  got  back  home  I  found  a  visitt 
awaiting  me — Sandra  Morosini ! 

She  greeted  me  somewhat  constrained! 
"I'm  off  on  a  little  trip,"  she  explains 
"and  I  thought  I'd  drop  in  —  to  sa 
goodbye." 

She  never  had  called  on  me  befor

Every  woman  should 

make  this 
Armhole  Odor 
Test 


No  matter  how  carefully  you  deodorize 
your  underarm  —  if  any  dampness  collects 
on  the  armhole  of  your  dress,  you  will 
always  have  an  unpleasant  "armhole  odor. 
Test  this  by  smelling  your  dress  tonight 


EVERY  sophisticated  woman  realizes 
that  to  be  socially  acceptable  she  must 
keep  her  underarm  not  only  sweet  but  dry. 
Those  who  deodorize  only — because  it  is 
easy  and  quick — soon  find  out  to  their  sor- 
row that  the  easy  way  is  nor  the  sure  way. 

The  reason  is  simple.  Creams  and  sticks 
are  not  made  to  srop  perspiration.  No  mat- 
ter how  little  you  perspire — some  moisture 
is  bound  to  collect  on  the  armhole  of  your 
dress.  And  the  warmth  of  your  body  brings 
out  a  stale,  unpleasant  odor  within  a  few 
minutes  after  you  put  your  dress  on! 

Once  you  realize  that  nothing,  not  even 
the  most  careful  dry  cleaning,  will  complete- 
ly remove  this  musty  smell,  you  will  know 
why  women  who  want  to  be  sure  never  to 
offend  use  Liquid  Odorono. 

SAFE .  . .  ask  your  physician 

Odorono  was  developed  23  years  ago  by  a 
physician  for  his  own  use.  Your  physician 
will  tell  you  it  has  no  harmful  effect.  Women 
use  millions  of  bottles  yearly.  It  does  not 
dry  up  or  injure  the  pores  of  the  underarm 


in  any  way.  It  simply  draws  the  pores  to- 
gether and  diverts  the  underarm  perspira- 
tion to  other  parts  of  the  body  where  it  can 
evaporate  quickly  without  becoming  offen- 
sive and  embarrassing. 

Examine  your  dress  tonight 

If  you  are  not  a  regular  Odorono  user,  when 
you  take  off  your  dress  tonight,  smell  the 
fabric  at  the  armhole.  You  may  be  horrified 
when  you  realize  that  that  is  the  way  you 
smell  to  anyone  who  is  close  to  you! 

It  will  help  you  to  understand  why  women 
who  try  short  cuts  to  daintiness  always 
come  back  to  Odorono.  In  the  end,  Odorono 
is  easier.  There's  no  fuss  and  bother  with 
shields.  Odorono  ends  guesswork  and  worry 
scientifically  and  safely. 

Odorono  comes  in  two  strengths.  Regular 
Odorono  (Ruby  colored)  requires  only  two 
applications  a  week.  Instant  Odorono 
(Colorless)  is  for  especially  sensitive  skin  or 
for  hurried  use — to  be  used  daily  or  every 
other  day.  You  will  want  to  have  both  in 
the  house — for  night  or  morning  use. 

Make  Odorono  a  serious  habit,  and  you 
will  enjoy  complete  freedom  from  moisture, 
ruinous  and  humiliating  stains  and  careless, 
untidy  "armhole  odor." 

On  sale  at  all  toilet  goods  counters.  If  you 
want  to  know  the  relief  and  confidence 
brought  by  Odorono,  send  for  the  two  jam- 
pies  and  leaflet  on  complete  underarm  dry- 
ness offered  below.

The  Listeners'  League  Gazette 


(Continued  from  pane  10) 


EDITORIAL 


NO    RACKETS  ALLOWED 

It  has  been  brought  to  the  attention 
of  the  Listeners'  League  of  America 
that  clubs  have  been  formed  and  are 
being  formed  for  the  express  purpose 
of  soliciting  funds  from  radio  artists. 
Whether  such  funds  have  been  so- 
licited in  good  faith  for  the  real  pur- 
pose of  furthering  the  growth  of  the 
clubs,  or  whether  these  funds  have 
been  nothing  more  than  a  mild  form  of 
blackmail,  we  don't  know,  lint  the  Lis- 
teners' League  of  America  wants  it 
definitely  understood  that  it  will  have 
no  part  in  such  transactions. 

In  this  League  there  are  NO  dues. 

There  are  NO  fees. 

There  are  NO  funds  for  any  pur- 
pose. 

It  is  with  this  declaration  of  financial 
policy  that  we  warn  all  fans  and  artists 
lest  they  be  victims  to  any  unscrupulous 
attempts  to  collect  money. 

We  mean  no  offense  to  those  many 
clubs,  already  formed,  that  have  regu- 
lar dues,  paid  by  their  local  members, 
for  legitimate  purposes  of  conducting 
their  organizations.  That  is  entirely  a 
matter  to  be  handled  by  each  of  the 
local  clubs. 

Yet  it  must  be  understood  that  the 
dues  of  those  clubs  have  no  connection 
with  the  League  in  case  those  clubs 
affiliate  with  the  League. 

On  the  other  hand,  we  will  not  per- 
mit any  member  or  Chapter  of  the 
League  to  solicit  funds  from  any  radio 
artist.  All  artists  have  been  asked  to 
report  any  such  solicitations  to  the 
League,  and  these  solicitors  will  be 
exposed  in  the  pages  of  Radio  Stars 
Magazine. 

So  remember:  In  the  League  there- 
are  NO  dues,  NO  fees  and  NO  funds 
of  any  nature  for  any  purpose. 


LEAGUE  WILL  SERVE 
AS  CLEARING  HOUSE 
FOR  ARTISTS"  MAIL 

One  of  the  benefits  of  the  League 
is  to  serve  as  a  clearing  house  for  mail 
between  members  and  artists. 

All  fans  may  address  their  favorite 
radio  artists  in  care  of  the  League,  149 
Madison  Avenue,  New  York  City,  and 
the  League  will  deliver  the  mail  di- 
rectly to  the  homes  or  offices  of  the 
artists. 

The  League  encourages  correspon- 
dence with  their  favorite  artists  on  the 
part  of  members.  That  is  one  way  of 
showing  appreciation  to  an  artist  for 
the  work  he  is  doing.  It  also  is  an 
indication  to  the  artist  as  to  how  his 
programs  are  being  received.  Another 
very  important  point,  the  League 
stresses,  is  that  such  mail  will  serve  to 
bring  the  artist  and  his  fans  into 
closer  contact.

town.  Likewise,  attempts  will  be  made 
to  form  Chapters  in  a  similar  manner 
for  Amos  'n'  Andy  and  other  artists. 

All  of  the  Amos  'n'  Andy  Chapters, 
and  there  may  be  hundreds  of  them, 
will  then  combine  to  form  the  Amos 
'n'  Andy  Artist  Club.  In  the  same 
manner,  all  Guy  Lombardo  Chapters, 
regardless  of  the  number  or  their  lo- 
cation, will  combine  to  form  the  Guy 
Lombardo  Artist  Club.  The  same 
formula  applies  to  other  artists. 

Ten  or  more  persons  are  necessary 
for  a  Chapter.  The  procedure  of  or- 
ganizing a  Chapter  is  this:  (1)  First, 
get  together  ten  or  more  persons  who 
are  fans  of  one  particular  artist;  (2) 
organize  this  group  by  the  election  of 
a  president,  vice-president  and  secre- 
tary-treasurer; (3)  have  each  individual 
member  fill  out  the  membership  appli- 
cation which  is  printed  on  the  first 
page  of  this  Gazette;  (4)  have  the 
president  fill  out  the  application  for  a 
charter;  (5)  mail  the  individual  appli- 
cations and  the  charter  application  to 
the  Listeners'  League  of  America,  149 
Madison  Avenue,  New  York  City. 

As  soon  as  the  application  can  be 
acted  upon,  the  Chapter  will  then  be 
given  an  official  number,  sent  its 
official  charter  signed  by  the  artist  it 
is  supporting,  and  each  individual 
member  will  receive  an  official  member- 
ship card.  Other  benefits  which  the 
League  offers  will  be  forthcoming 
once  the  charter  has  been  granted. 

Those  individuals  who,  because  of 
their  residence  in  sparsely  populated 
communities  or  because  of  other  local 
conditions  over  which  they  have  no 
control,  cannot  get  together  ten  or 
more  persons  for  a  Chapter,  may  ap- 
ply for  membership  in  the  Marconi 
Chapter,  a  Chapter  designed  for  that 
purpose. 


Each  Chapter  organized  will  recciv 
an  autographed  picture  of  their  ai 
favorite.  The  League  also  offer-  m 
benefits  as  information  concerning  th 
artists;  to  serve  as  a  clearing  house  fc 
mail  between  artists  and  their  fans;  t 
notify  Chapters  when  artists  arc  visi1 
ing  in  their  communities  in  order  the 
there  might  be  a  personal  meeting;  t 
supply  material  for  Chapter  public; 
tions;  and  many  other  such  benelii 
which  will  develop  as  the  organizatio 
develops. 

Already,  there  are  many  fan  club 
organized,  some  having  over  one  hui 
dred  members  in  all  sections  of  th 
country.  In  some  cases,  these  club 
publish  regular  fan  magazines  and  i 
many  other  ways  have  formed  a  ver 
definite  and  workable  organization. 

In  order  not  to  conflict  with  thes 
already  organized  clubs,  and  at  th 
same  time  to  off  or  these  clubs  th 
benefits  of  the  League  with  its  nation: 
scope,  special  provisions  have  bee 
made  to  take  these  clubs  into  th 
League  intact,  if  the  clubs  so  desire. 

In  these  cases,  all  that  is  necessar 
is  for  the  individual  members  to  fi 
out  the  membership  applications,  an 
for  the  president  to  fill  out  the  appl 
cation  for  a  charter.  Then  immediate] 
that  club  becomes  a  Chapter  withi 
the  League. 

It  i>  the  sincere  hope  of  the  Leagi 
that    these    clubs,    already  organize! 
will   avail    themselves   of   this  oppo 
tunity.     It  is  pointed  out  that  such 
club   in   behalf   of   an    artist    can  ai 
complish  much  more  if  it  joins  hanc 
with  all  the  other  fans  of  that  arti; 
in   a   national   organization.     For  eJ 
ample,    there    may    be    Frank  Parke 
clubs  in   California,  in   New  York,  i 
Kansas  and  many  other  places.  Thei 
may  also  be  a  club   which   draws  i 
membership    from    many  states, 
these  clubs  would  combine  along  wit 
newly   formed   Parker   clubs  througl 
out  the  country,  then  the  real  servict 
rendered    to    Frank    Parker    can  t 
greater.     Also  these   fans,  all  with 
common   purpose,   can   work  togeth 
more  satisfactorily  to  accomplish  tl 
aims  for  which  they  strive. 

Because  of  the  fact  that  this  mags 
zine  is  published  several  weeks  in  at 
vance,  it  is  impossible  to  give  an 
details  of  the  accomplishments  of  tl 
League  since  the  announcement  of  il 
formation  last  month.  Next  montl 
however,  the  Gazette  will  report  a

MARCONI  CHAPTER 

ESTABLISHED 

Scattered  all  over  the  country  are 
persons  who  may  be  prevented  from 
being  members  of  their  own  local  Chap- 
ters. This  may  be  due  to  the  fact 
that  they  live  in  sparsely  populated 
communities  where  they  find  it  impos- 
sible to  organize  the  necessary  ten  or 
more  persons  for  a  regular  Chapter. 
There  may  be  other  local  conditions, 
over  which  the  individual  has  no  con- 
trol, which  prevent  the  forming  of  a 
Chapter. 

For  this  great  group  of  people.  The 
Listeners'  League  of  America  has 
formed  a  master  chapter  to  be  known 
as  the  Marconi  Chapter,  named  in 
honor  of  the  inventor  of  radio. 

Within  this  great  chapter,  there  will 
be  divisions  for  each  artist.  For  ex- 
ample, a  Jessica  Dragonette  fan  in 
California  and  one  in  North  Carolina 
may  join  other  fans  in  New  York  and 
Michigan,  etc.,  in  the  Jessica  Drago- 
nette division  of  the  Marconi  Chapter. 
Similarly,  individuals  here  and  there 
over  the  country  will  be  brought  in  the 
Joe  Penner  division  of  the  Marconi 
Chapter. 

Application  for  membership  into  this 
Chapter  requires  only  that  the  indi- 
vidual fill  out  and  send  to  the  League 
the  application  for  membership  coupon 
printed  on  this  page.  Activities  of  this 
chapter  will  be  handled  from  the  New- 
York  headquarters.

are  on  the  network  again,  I  feel  sure 
my  old  fans  will  want  to  join  with  new 
fans  in  the  League.  I  shall  be  happy 
to  cooperate  to  the  best  of  my  ability." 

Glen  Gray  and  the  Casa  Loma  Band: 
"It's  a  swell  idea.  We  want  to  do  our 
part." 

Dale  Wimbrow:  "Of  course  thi>  old

Mark  Warnow:  "I  like  the  idea  oi 
the  League.    By  all  means  count  me  in." 

MEMBERS  WILL  NAME 
OBJECTIONABLE  SHOWS 

Since  one  of  the  purposes  of  the 
League  is  to  protect  listeners  from  the 
abuses  of  poor  or  objectionable  pro- 
grams, the  question  has  been  raised  as 
to  what  constitutes  such  programs. 

It  lias  been  said  that  the  best  program^ 
are  those  that  bring  the  greatest  enjoy- 
ment to  the  greatest  number  of  people 
Similarly,  poor  or  objectionable  programs 
are  those  which  to  the  greatest  number  of 
listeners,  are  poor  or  objectionable. 

The  Listeners'  League  of  America 
will  tabulate  all  criticisms  and  pro- 
gram suggestions.  Those  criticisms  and 
ideas  advanced  by  the  largest  number 
of  members  will  be  published  in  the 
Gazette  as  a  means  of  bringing  them 
to  the  attention  of  the  executives.

naturalness  of  their  own  inner  lives  is 
concerned.  Fame  has  made  their  lives  busy, 
a  bit  hectic,  perhaps,  but  never  artificial 
or  stagey.  The  living-room  of  their  apart- 
ment is  ''homey",  the  furniture  has  a 
comfortable  "lived  with"  look,  and  the 
books  that  line  the  walls  look  as  though 
they  were  read  and  loved.  The  room 
bears  the  happy  stamp  of  the  Pickens' 
collective  personalities,  and  that  of  their 
wise  mother.  None  of  the  singing  Pick- 
ens' have  acquired  the  surface  artific- 
iality, the  brittleness,  the  affected  man- 
nerisms, or  the  showy  dress  and  make-up 
effects  of  which  celebrities  so  often  are 
guilty.  Nor  will  they  ever  do  so.  They 
know  the  tilings  that  count  and  the  things 
that  don't. 

We  don't  realize  sometimes,  most  of 
us,  how  large  a  part  of  beauty  and  charm 
comes  from  within.  We  get  so  absorbed 
in  fussing  and  worrying  about  what  creams 
to  use,  and  what  to  put  on  our  faces,  that 
we're  inclined  to  forget  what  we  put  in 
our  faces  through  our  thoughts,  our  emo- 
tions, our  real  selves.  Let's  make  the 
most  of  our  faces  this  summer  .  .  .  both 
within  and  without. 

And  now  let's  make  the  most  of  the 
Georgia  sisters'  advice. 

Creams  are  what  Jane,  as  spokesman  for 
the  group,  emphasized  as  essentially  im- 
portant beauty  aids  for  the  summer  .  .  . 
cleansing  creams  and  lubricating  creams. 
As  soon  as  you  come  home  from  a  dusty 
automobile  trip,  Jane  suggested,  or  from 
heat  of  a  sooty,  dirty  city  that  seems  to 
coat  your  skin  with  grime  in  a  few  hours, 
smear  your  face  with  a  generous  applica- 
tion of  cleansing  cream.  The  skin  feels 
drawn  after  long  exposure  to  the  sun 
and  the  wind,  and  needs  the  soothing, 
relaxing  treatment  that  a  cleansing  cream 
seems  to  give  along  with  its  cleansing 
properties.  I  was  glad  that  Jane  made 
a  point  of  the  soothing,  relaxing  virtues 
of  cleansing  cream  .  .  .  We  don't  gener- 
ally consider  them  enough.  Of  course  the 
cream  must  be  wiped  off  with  generous 
tissues,  and  then  a  skin  tonic  or  freshener, 
in  the  nature  of  a  mild  astringent, 
applied. 

Helen  spoke  up  with  a  grand  suggestion 
for  making  the  skin  tonic  application  a 
cooling  and  refreshing  treatment.  Always 
keep  your  bottle  of  skin  tonic  in  the  refrig- 
erator, and  then  when  you  come  to  pat 
on  this  toning  agent,  it  will  be  chilled 
thoroughly  enough  to  give  your  skin  a 
real  freshening  treatment.  Incidentally, 
if  you  want  more  of  a  bleaching  treatment, 
you  can  take  a  lemon  and  squeeze  it  over 
cracked  ice  or  ice  cubes.  Then  saturate 
a  small  pad  of  cotton  in  the  cold  juice, 
and  pat  it  on  your  face. 

Both  Jane  and  Helen  stressed  the  impor- 
tance of  paying  particular  attention  to  the 
skin  around  the  eyes,  in  all  of  one's  sum- 
mer creaming  treatments.  The  "Singing 
Pickens' "  are  appearing  nightly  in  the 
current  New  York  musical  revue  hit, 
"Thumbs  Up"',  and  such  constant  facing 
of  the  glaring  stage  lights  brings  forci- 
bly to  mind  the  necessity  for  protection 
against  squint  lines.  The  sun  is  comparable 


to  the  stage  lights  in  the  strain  it  puts 
on  your  eyes,  which  respond  by  squinting 
to  protect  themselves.  After  you've  finished 
your  usual  cleansing  treatment,  pat  in  a 
little  nourishing  cream  on  the  eyelids  and 
around  the  eyes.  Be  sure  to  pat  the  cream 
in,  and  do  not  push  or  stretch  the  skin. 
To  digress  here  for  a  personal  observa- 
tion, I  have  found  that  a  good  creamy  paste 
eyeshadow  is  actually  an  excellent  pro- 
tection for  the  eyelids  when  one  is  out 
under  the  sun. 

Here's  an  interesting  "stunt"  for  treat- 
ing your  eyes  after  coming  in  from  an 
afternoon  at  the  beach,  or  a  drive  against 
the  sun.  Pat  in  a  good  nourishing  cream 
on  the  eyelids  and  around  the  eyes.  Now 
take  two  small  pads  of  absorbent  cotton, 
soak  them  in  hot  water,  and  lay  them 
lightly  over  your  eyes  until  they  cool. 
Remove  the  pads,  pat  on  a  little  more 
cream,  and  then  apply  the  pads  that  have 
been  once  more  saturated  in  hot  water. 
You  can  repeat  this  process  several  times. 
Lie  back  in  a  comfortable  chair,  or  on 
a  couch  during  the  cooling  process,  and 
relax  so  that  you  feel  as  limp  as  the 
cotton  pad  on  your  eyes.  Finish  off  with  a 
grand  splashing  of  the  eyes  with  cold 
water.  You'll  be  amazed  at  the  way  your 
eyes  will  sparkle  for  that  dance  that  should 
follow  the  afternoon  on  the  beach. 

When  the  Pickens  sisters  go  to  the 
beach,  which  isn't  often,  they  choose  slacks 
as  beach  costumes  ...  a  wise  choice  for 
the  protection  it  gives  from  too  strong 
sun  exposure.  But,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
the  Pickens  girls  would  much  rather  go 
sailing  or  horseback  riding  than  lolling 
on  the  beach. 

Southern  women  don't  go  in  for  tan  as 
the  over-enthusiastic  Northerners  do.  They 
have  long  been  noted  for  their  creamy 
white  skin,  and  they  know  full  well  its 
effectiveness.  Far  be  it  from  them  to 
change  their  magnolia-like  skins  into  the 
kind  that  has  the  appearance  of  old  brown 
leather. 

There  are  blondes  who  can  tan  to  a 
pale  honey  color  that  is  really  stunning, 
but  the  dark-haired  girl  is  in  danger  of 
a  coarsened  appearance  when  she  goes 
in  too  heavily  for  sun-tan.  Use  your  com- 
mon sense  about  this  sun-browning  busi- 
ness— and  your  mirror.  Unless  you're  as 
young  as  the  Pickens  sisters  (and  they 
don't  go  in  for  sun-tanning),  your  skin 
is  apt  to  look  more  durable  than  decor- 
ative after  it  annexes  a  tan.  We  all  know 
that  repeated  exposure  of  the  skin  to  the 
strong  sunlight  without  protection  has  a 
coarsening  effect  on  the  skin.  So  treat 
yourself  to  a  lavish  oil  application  before 
you  lie  on  the  beach,  apply  your  summer 
make-up  over  a  fairly  heavy  foundation 
powder,  and  wear  a  big  brimmed  hat  or 
sit  under  a  parasol,  if  you  freckle  easily. 

As  Patti  says,  what  we  generally  call 
the  "picture  hat"  is  the  most  popular  in 
the  South.  Modified  versions  of  this  wide- 
brimmed  style  are  always  in  fashion  for 
Southern  summers.  We  Northerners  affect 
little  turned-up  sailor  hats,  and  brimless 
numbers,  and  hence  get  absolutely  no  pro- 
tection from  the  sun.   Not  onlv  from  the

practical  angle,  hut  from  the  picturesque, 
I  think  Southern  women  have  it  over  us. 
It  seems  to  me  that  women  make  a  mis- 
take in  not  being  more  picturesque ;  the 
Southern  women  are  the  only  ones  left 
who  are  wise  enough  to  capitalize  on 
women's  greatest  asset  of  femininity. 

The  Pickens  sisters  are  artists  in  natural 
make-up.  They  know  all  the  clever  tricks 
of  stage  make-up,  and  use  them,  but  off 
the  stage,  off  goes  the  artificiality !  Cream 
rouge  is  their  choice  for  the  basic  morning 
make-up  because  they  can  achieve  more 
natural  and  more  lasting  effects  with  it. 
Always  apply  cream  rouge  on  a  moist 
skin,  a  skin  which  has  either  been  patted 
with  an  astringent,  and  left  slightly  moist, 
or  a  skin  that  has  been  treated  to  an  appli- 
cation of  vanishing  cream  or  cold  cream 
(the  latter  wiped  off  with  tissues,  of 
course). 

To  interpose  a  personal  shopping  note. 
I've  discovered  a  grand  new  oil  base 
mascara  that  should  be  a  boon  to  sum- 
merers  and  "simmerers"  under  the  sun. 
Its  emollient  oils  help  to  keep  the  lashes 
soft  and  silky,  and  it  is  as  smudge  proof 
as  any  paste  mascara  can  be.  You'll  like 
the  smooth  way  it  goes  on,  and  stays  on ! 

Since  natural  looking  make-up  is  so  very 
important  for  the  summer,  I  know  you'll 
be  interested  now  in  checking  up  your 
shade  of  face  powder.  I  have  a  handy 
package  containing  four  distinctive  shades, 
together  with  cream  lip  and  cheek  rouge 
that  is  yours  for  the  asking.  There  is  no 
cost  involved.  It  will  be  sent  to  you  free 
of  charge.  If  you  wish  personal  questions 
answered,  however,  a  stamped  addressed 
envelope  must  he  included  with  the  inquiry.

MUM 


THAT'S  too  bad,  now — to  have 
this,  of  all  things,  come  between 
you  and  that  man  who  is  '"practical- 
ly perfect"  about  everything  else. 

We'll  tell  you  something.  A  lot 
of  men  are  like  that — far  too  many. 
Great  fellows,  most  of  them,  but 
they  haven't  learned  the  facts  of  life 
about  this  perspiration  business. 
Just  leave  it  to  us.  We'll  fix  it. 

Send  us  his  name  and  address  on 
the  coupon  below,  and  we'll  send  him 
something  that  will  make  him  abso- 
lutely proof  against  underarm  odor. 

We'll  send  him  a  sample  of  Mum, 
the  instant  cream  deodorant  that  so 
many  men  use  who  have  learned  that 
their  daily  shower  won't  protect  them. 

We'll  tell  him  all  about  Mum — how 
it  takes  no  time  at  all  to  use,  is  harm- 
less to  clothing,  soothing  to  skin, 
doesn't  prevent  perspiration  itself — 
just  its  ugly  odor.  And  how  soothing 
it  is  to  burning,  perspiring  feet  and 
how  it  destroys  every  trace  of  odor. 

Just  his  name  and  address  on  the 
coupon  below — not  your*. 

Will  he  be  grateful? 
He'll  be  looking  for 
someone  to  thank!

My  Son,  Al  Jolson 

(Continued  from  page  33) 


her,   appear  '  in  nearly  all   his  pictures. 

It  is  the  same  thing  with  us  all — he  is 
forever  planning  trips  for  us  to  the  Coast 
when  lie  and  Ruby  are  out  there  making 
pictures  and  he  never  considers  any  joy 
complete  that  we  cannot  all  share. 

People  have  always  said  that  Jewish 
men  make  marvelous  husbands — and  that 
isn't  mere  talk,  I  have  discovered.  He  has 
been  a  real  son  to  me,  and  more  than  that 
no  one  can  say. 

But  the  thing  I  enjoy  most  is  when  we 
all  are  gathered  around  the  family  table, 
the  Keelers  and  Al.  It  is  then  that  he 
quietly  reveals  the  knowledge  that  few  peo- 
ple might  suspect — for  he  is  always  cover- 
ing up  his  talents  in  an  effort,  I  am  sure, 
not  to  make  others  feel  at  a  disadvantage. 
He  talks  interestingly  and  well  on  many 
subjects — and  his  fund  of  information  is 
limitless. 

Whenever  I  am  confronted  by  serious 
problems  I  consult  Al,  because  I  feel  cer- 
tain that  he  will  give  me  sane,  constructive 
advice — that  he  will  weigh  every  side  of  a 
question  dispassionately  and  yet  with  a 
human  quality  that  makes  him  so  thor- 
oughly understanding.  And  I  take  his 
advice,  finding  it  good. 

Of  course  Ruby's  and  Al's  home  life  is 
ideal.  They  do  the  same  things.  Neither 
of  them  seeks  display  nor  the  plaudits  of 
the  crowd,  away  from  their  work.  They 
like  the  same  simple  pleasures,  they  enjoy 
each  other's  company,  golfing  together, 
reading  together,  working  in  their  garden 
or  just  loafing.  And  of  course  they  both 
want  children. 

Ruby  has  often  said  to  me : 


"Mother,  you  had  six  children  in  suc- 
cession— and  yet  I  have  been  married  six 
years  and  I  haven't  had  any.  I  wonder 
why  that  is?" 

And  then  I  remind  her  that  when  I 
married  I  was  just  her  age — and  that  per- 
haps her  family  will  come  later.  That 
usually  comforts  her.  But  if  they  have 
none  of  their  own  I  imagine  they  will 
surely  adopt  some — for  Al,  too,  is  fond 
of  children. 

It  has  been  said  that  Al  is  jealous  of 
Ruby,  of  her  career,  and  that  is  surely 
unkind.  It  is  true  that  Ruby  retired  pro- 
fessionally for  a  few  years  after  they 
were  married,  but  no  one  was  more  pleased 
with  her  recent  successes  than  her  husband. 
He  does  everything  possible  to  further 
her  interests  and  as  long  as  her  work  does 
not  separate  them,  I  am  sure  no  one  is 
happier  or  prouder  than  he. 

No,  there  is  nothing  mean  or  small  or 
selfish  about  Al,  I  can  tell  you.  He  has 
the  best  traits  in  large  quantities  and  the 
little  human  failings,  such  as  all  of  us 
have,  are  few  and  far  between.  He  is 
always  seeing  the  other  side  of  every  ques- 
tion and  over  the  radio  he  evidences  this 
by  interposing  with  his  songs  human  inter- 
est stories  which  endear  him  everywhere 
to  people  who  find  in  his  anecdotes  the 
things  they  have  experienced. 

Whether  you  believe  there  are  snowballs 
waiting  to  be  gathered  on  the  equator,  I 
do  not  know.  But  I  do  assure  you  that 
here  is  a  mother-in-law  who  has  nothing 
but  praise  for  her  son,  a  man  whom  she 
hopes  you  know  better  because  of  her!

The  way  to  end  corn  suffering  is  to  REMOVE  the  corn  — safely,  scien- 
tifically—with INSTANT  PAIN  RELIEF  •  Do  you  cut  or  pare  corns  to  get  relief7 

Don't.  This  practice  may  lead  to  serious 
infection.  It  gives  only  tcynporary  relief. 
Unscientific,  harsh,  untried  remedies 
are  risky  too.  Avoid  them. 
Blue-Jay  (i)  gives  instant  and  soothing 
relief  the  moment  it  is  applied.  Its 
snug-fitting  pad  cushions  the  corn  against 
shoe  pressure;  (2)  it  removes  corns 
safely.  Blue-Jay's  Wet-Pruf  adhesive 
strip  holds  the  pad  securely  in  place  — 
so  that  the  Blue-Jay  medication  gently 
undermines  and  loosens  the  corn  with- 
out your  feeling  it.  You  walk  in  com- 
plete comfort.  In  three  days,  the  corn 
lifts  right  out.

Why  a  Cora 
Hurts  ...  A  corn 
is  shaped  like  a 
cone,  with  the 
small  end  point- 
ing into  the  toe. 
This  inverted 
cone,  under 
pressure  from  the  shoe,  presses 
against  sensitive  nerves,  which 
carry  pain  sensations  to  the  brain 
and  central  nervous  system.  That's 
why  a  corn  seems  to  hurt  "all  over."

At  any  rate,  after  two  weeks  of  illness 
lames  Wallington  took  his  wife  to  a  hos- 
pital. Since  that  date,  he  has  seen  her  1 
ake  eighteen  blood  transfusions,  seen  her 
vith  fever  that  never  sinks  below  104  de- 
crees, which  has  soared  as  high  as  107. 

Since  that  date,  radio's  favorite  an-

tretehed  into  months  of  waiting  and  hop- 
ing, Jimmy  has  learned  that  those  who 
lossess  it  hold  more  of  the  richness  of 
iving  that  any  millionaire. 
That  thing  is  friendship.

J  any   things,    the    simple  heart-warming

published,  telegrams  began  to  arrive,  and 
letters  by  the  dozen,  and  telephone  calls. 
Jimmy  may  never,  in  the  urgency  of  his 
battle,  get  around  to  thanking  all  those 
who  responded.  Besides,  what  can  you 
say  to  make  a  man  or  woman  feel  how 
much  you  appreciate  his  kindness?  The 
writers  of  those  letters — over  five  hun- 
dred of  them — offered  their  blood  to  Anita 
Furhman  Wellington  whenever  it  was 
needed.  Those  writers  should  know  that 
their  letters  touched  deeply  the  humblest 
and  most  grateful  heart  in  New  York — 
James  Wellington's. 

This  one  offer,  you  must  know  about. 
It  came  via  telegram.  It  came  from  the 
entire  crew  of  a  United  State  battleship 
stationed  in  Hampton  Roads,  Virginia.  A 
year  ago,  Jimmy  had  ridden  that  vessel 
through  the  Presidential  review  of  the 
fleet.  Those  boys  had  become  his 
friends.  Now,  when  they  heard  that  his 
bride  needed  blood  with  which  to  fight  the 
infection  in  her,  they  volunteered  as  a 
body  to  be  tested  on  the  ship  and  come- 
to  New  York  as  often  and  as  rapidly  as 
they  were  needed. 

They  were  not  needed,  of  course.  Too 
many  friends  were  nearer  at  hand,  and 
imploring  that  their  blood  be  used  to  re- 
store the  failing  girl. 

Milton  Cross,  for  instance.  Twice  he 
went  to  the  hospital  and  the  strong,  vital 
force  of  his  life  was  pumped  into  Anita's 
veins,  Milton  Cross  has  been  a  great  an- 
nouncer for  many  years.  His  children's 
programs  have  endeared  him  to  thou- 
sands. Last  year  he  lost  his  own  dearly- 
beloved  little  girl,  in  whom  his  life  had 
been  completely  wrapped.  He,  too,  knows 
the  meaning  of  sorrow ;  of  the  scourging 
the  soul  takes  as  one  sees  the  dearest  face 
in  the  world  paling  and  thinning  in  in- 
curable illness. 

Charles  O'Connor  is  a  gay,  vivid  per- 
sonality who  is  Jimmy's  fellow-an- 
nouncer. You  must  have  heard  him  many- 
times.  He  made  two  trips  to  the  hos- 
pital to  give  his  blood. 

Have  you  heard  Don  Reed  on  the  air, 
singing  with  Xavier  Cugat's  band?  To 
him  Jimmy  Wallington  is  one  of  the 
world's  greatest  guys,  because  Jimmy  took 
Don  under  his  wing  when  he  was  green 
and  just  gawking  around  the  town. 
They'd  never  met  before  but  there  was 
something  Jim  liked  about  the  kid.  Don 
would  give  his  right  arm  for  Jim,  or  for 
Anita.    He  gave  a  pint  of  blood. 

These  are  all  friends :  their  offers 
might  have  been  expected  in  such  a  dire 
situation.  But  others  were  not  expected. 
One  of  the  elevator  boys  in  Radio  City  is 
Micky  Hunt.  When  he  heard  of  Mrs. 
Wellington's  illness,  he  sought  out  Jimmy. 

"I  know  what  it's  all  about,"  he  told 
him.  "I  used  to  give  transfusions.  If 
there's  anything  .  .  .  anything  I  can  do  .  .  ." 

Since  that  conversation  Micky  Hunt  has 
given  his  blood  three  times.  Three  times ! 
As  Jimmy  aches  with  his  anxiety,  I  think 
he  must  always  find  much  comfort  in  the 
rich  measure  of  Micky  Hunt's  friendship. 

I  f  ever  you've  been  conducted  on  a 
Radio  City  tour,  you  must  have  noticed 
the  upstanding,  young  guides  who  ex- 
plain the  interesting  points  of  the  visit. 


One  such  is  Bill  Hoffman.  He  was  one 
of  the  Guide  Corps  \\\\<>  also  volunteered. 
Forty-one  husky,  hard-working  boys. 
Seventeen  were  tested  and  found  to  have 
the  right  type  of  blood.  Bill  Hoffman  gave 
his  in  two  transfusions. 

Many  others  stand  ready,  and  bet  weal 
the  time  this  is  written  and  the  time  when 
you  read  it,  most  of  them  may  be  used. 

One  hesitates  to  laud  the  behavior  of  a 
friend,  or  point  the  finger  of  praise  at  a 
man  who  bears  up  heroically  under  a 
well-nigh  insufferable  burden.  So  I  re- 
frain from  saying  that  Jimmy  has  carried 
his  load  and  done  his  work  and  kept  his 
chin  up.  I  say  only  that,  if  such  trouble 
as  is  his,  is  ever  visited  upon  me,  I  hope 
I  may  bear  myself  one-half  so  well! 

Many  of  us  who  know  something  of 
what  he  is  going  through  have  listened  ap- 
prehensively to  his  broadcasts  during  these 
last  few  days,  wondering  if  his  voice  will 
give  us  a  clue  to  an  improvement  or  a  re- 
lapse in  his  wife's  condition.  Yet.  I  have 
not  heard  him  falter  a  single  time. 

The  vigil  he  keeps  is  one  I  shall  always 
remember  with  amazement.  Living  at  the 
hospital,  sleeping  on  a  cot  in  her  room, 
he  rarely  is  beyond  the  sound  of  her  voice. 
His  radio  assignments  have  been  reduced 
to  a  minimum.  Most  days,  he  leaves  the 
hospital  only  at  five  p.  m.,  and  returns 
shortly  after  nine. 

At  night,  when  she  is  restless  they 
sometimes  talk  in  the  darkness.  For  a 
long  while,  Anita  did  not  know  how  ill 
she  was,  nor  how  serious  the  physicians 
regarded  her  case.  But  she  knows  now. 
Jimmy  told  her  the  other  night. 

An  operation,  it  was  almost  certain,  was 
the  only  thing  that  could  save  her  life. 
"I  decided,"  he  told  me.  "that  I  had  bet- 
ter let  her  know  something  of  the  serious- 
ness of  the  situation." 

It  was  three  o'clock  in  the  morning. 
They  were  both  awake.  He  went  to  her 
bedside  and  held  her  hands.  "Listen,  kid," 
he  said,  "I'll  have  to  make  a  decision  to- 
morrow about  whether  or  not  they  shall 
operate.  I  want  you  to  know  what  the 
chances  are." 

'"What  have  they  been?"  she  asked. 

Jim  told  her  the  truth,  knowing  she 
would  rather  hear  it  than  any  evasion. 
"Last  week  they  were  about  one  in  four." 

"What  are  they  now?" 

Fresh  blood  had  been  pumped  into  her 
veins,  her  resistance  was  higher,  her  con- 
dition the  best  it  ever  had  been. 

"You've  got  a  fifty-fifty  chance,"  Jimmy 
said. 

"Then  ...  let  them  operate." 

They  came  to  that  decision  the  other 
night.  An  operation  of  unbelievable  com- 
plexity and  delicacy  might  save  her.  A 
fifty-fifty  chance  for  the  life  of  the  girl 
so  many  people  wish  may  live. 

Tomorrow  they  operate.  Tomorrow 
medical  science  challenges  the  mysterious 
malady  that  threatens  a  precious  life.  In 
such  a  struggle  as  this,  if  the  fervent  hope 
and  faith  of  all  of  us  who  know  Jimmy 
and  Anita  Wallington  is  of  any  weight, 
her  life  must  and  will  be  spared.  W'e  can- 
not know,  of  course,  until  later. 

In  the  meanwhile,  we  wait  hopefully  and 
prayerfully.

Six  Ways  to  Get  Your  Man  Back 

{Continued  from  page  37) 


You  can,  you  see  make  fixtures  of  your 
flames.  But  it's  an  art  converting  young 
men  into  fixtures.  An  art  for  which  each 
of  the  youngster  stars  I  questioned  has  a 
very  especial  method  of  her  own. 

If  she  had  to  get  her  best  beau  back 
again.  Vera  Van  would  use  strategy. 

"When  I  want  to  revive  a  man's  interest, 
I'm  strategic  enough  to  talk  up  the  other 
girl.  Because  my  idea  of  the  best  way  to 
hold  any  beau  is  to  share  his  illusions  with 
him.  That's  why  my  attempts  to  run  down 
my  rival  would  never  work  successfully. 

"Pretend  you're  Kitty.  Pretend  you're 
losing  a  boy  named  John  to  a  girl  named 
Sue.  John  is  falling  for  Sue  because  he 
thinks  she's  a  swell  girl.  Therefore  every 
time  you  make  some  comment  to  the  con- 
trary you're  doing  the  one  thing  he  can't 
stand — offending  his  ego.  You  haven't  got 
a  chance  of  getting  him  back  if  you  use 
(that  mode  of  attack. 

"But  suppose  you  agree  heartily  with 
John  that  Sue  is  everything  wonderful  he 
thinks  she  is  (even  if  it  kills  you).  Kvcrv 
time  he  mentions  her  you  give  her  stock 
another  good  plug.  His  first  reaction  will 
'be  to  think  to  himself,  "Kitty's  pretty  swill 
[to  feel  like  that  about  Sue."  And  his 
second  and  more  important  reaction  will 
be,  'Kitty's  talking  Sue  up  so  strong  I 
believe  she  really  wants  to  shove  me  off 
on  her!' 

"And  the  first  time,  Kitty,  you  can  get  a 
'man  to  suspect  that — he's  going  to  bounce 
back  like  a  yo-yo.  For  men  can't  stand  to 
think  they're  being  let  out  without  a 
quiver  of  regret  on  the  part  of  Girl  Num- 
ber One.  It's  such  a  blow  to  their  vanities 
they'll  go  to  any  lengths  to  prevent  it." 

Which  makes  a  bona  fide  method  of 
strategy,  provided  there  is  a  rival  that  you 
can  talk  up.   Suppose,  however,  you  don't 
run  around  with  one  definite  crowd  as 
Vera  does ;  in  that  case,  you  might  very 
well  not  know  who  was  about  to  become 
your  feminine  successor.  So  you'd  have  to 
have  to  have  another  technique  ready. 
Rosemary  Lane  would  use  jealousy. 
Funny  kid,  Rosemary.   Pretty  as  a  pic- 
ture and  gentle  as  a  lamb.    You  think. 
Until  that  gentleness  turns  a  couple  of 
andsprings  over  the  mere  idea  that  one 
f  her  beaux  would  even  remotely  con- 
sider letting  Rosemary  slide !    Why,  she 
.vouldn't  stand  for  it !   Why,  she  just  sim- 
ply wouldn't  have  it ! 

That's  fightin'  talk  to  Rosemary.  Her 
yes  practically  popped  over  the  prospect. 
"I'd  make  him  so  jealous — oh  boy,  I'd 
make  him  so  jealous  of  me  he  wouldn't 
even  know  what  was  happening  !    I'd  go 
very  place  he  went,  so  he'd  have  to  see  me 
ith  other  dates — I'd  absolutely  knock  his 
es  out,  even  if  it  took  me  two  hours  to 
ess  to  look  that  good — I  wouldn't  even 
speak  to  him  I'd  be  so  interested  in  every 
Jther  man  but  him — I'd  act  as  though  I 
was  so  glad  he'd  finally  stopped  hanging 
iround  1  didn't  know  what  to  do !" 
"Then  what?"  I  wanted  full  details. 
"He'd   come   back."    Very  confidently 
Rosemary  tapped   her   ruby   manicure  on 
a  table  in  Lindy's.  And  calmly  went  on  to 
explain  that  she  knew  whereof  she  spoke 


because  she'd  actually  used  jealousy-tactics 
three  times  in,  oh,  she  supposed,  the  last 
year.  And  if  I  doubted  whether  they'd 
worked  or  not,  one  of  the  courtiers  in 
question  had  taken  her  to  the  Madison 
Square  Garden  dog  show  only  yesterday, 
another  she  was  going  dancing  with  to- 
night  and  the  third — well,  she'd  have  to 
be  off.  So  darn  sorry.  But  she  had 
promised  to  meet  him  at  the  music  pub- 
lisher's five  minutes  from  now.  And  it  1  <l 
walk  up  Broadway  with  her  she'd  finish 
telling  me — 

"Jealousy  is  the  only  thing.  Really. 
About  two  years  ago  I  was  awfully  fond 
of  this  boy  who  .  .  ." 

Another  hero  had  bitten  the  dust  that 
time,  too.  Before  we  had  got  even  half 
way  to  the  music  publisher's  she  had  me 
convinced.    Jealousy  was  the  only  thing ! 

But  later  I  discovered  a  loophole  in 
Rosemary's  plan.  Because  you  know  your- 
self that  only  one  circumstance  makes  a 
man  jealous — and  that's  seeing  the  girl  he's 
interested  in  apparently  taken  up  with 
other  men.  What  if  he  isn't  enough  in- 
terested in  her  any  longer  for  her  new- 
affairs  to  perturb  him?  What  if  he  has 
cooled  off  too  much  to  care  what  she 
does?  He's  immune,  then,  to  the  green- 
eyed  monster — you've  got  to  try  something 
stronger. 

Jane  Pickens  would  use  flattery. 
Getting  Jane  to  talk  about  men  is  an 
alt-day  job,  if  you  ever  want  one.   I  spent 
a  whole  afternoon  bringing  up  the  subject  i 
and  every  time  she'd  evade  it  by  showing 
me  her  spring  wardrobe,  or  a  photograph 
of  Patti's  latest  conquest,  or  the  layout  of 
the   Pickens   Sisters'  new   Park  Avenue 
apartment.  Finally,  by  dint  of  refusing  to  [ 
pay  my  respects  to  the  recent  offspring 
of  her  tropical   fish,  I  got  her  started. 

"If  I  know  anything  about  winning  a  I 
man  back,   (and  I  believe  I  do  because 
I've  done  it,)"  she  began  in  her  husk\ 
Georgia  drawl.  "I  guess  I  owe  it  all  t" 
something  I  happened  to  run  across  once 
in  the  library  at  school.  I'll  show  you — " 
She    extracted    her    battered  college- 
notebook    from    the    secretary  drawer. 
And  turned  to  a  page  on  which  I  read: 
"From  tin-  writings  of  Moliire : 
'You  needn't  fear  to  oiierdo  it;  no 
matter  how  evident  your  method  of 
tricking  them   may  be,  men  are  al- 
ways amazing  dufes  when   it  comes 
to  flattery.  There  is  nothing  so  ridic- 
ulous  hut  what  you  ean  mak-e  them 
swallow  it  when  it  is  well  spiced  with 
praise.  Sincerity  suffers  somewhat  in 
this  business:  but  when  we  need  men 
st>c  must  have  them.    And  since  we 
Cannot  win  them  any  other  way  'tis 
the  fault,  not  of  those  teho  flatter, 
but  of  those  who  want  to  be  flat- 
tered.' " 

"Don't  laugh."  she  spoke  up  when  I  had 
finished.  "It  is  true.  When  a  girl's  los- 
ing her  man  it's  usually  because  she'« 
neglected  to  give  him  his  daily  dose  .i 
sugar-water.  That's  what.  To  keep  a  man 
you've  got  to  keep  him  flattered — now  i 
haven't  you?"  Wide-eyed.  "Thev  jit-t 
love  it!    I've  found  out."

I  did  laugh.  Because  Jane  was  so  seri- 
ous. And  because  it  wasn't  Moliere  who 
taught  her  that  at  all.  It  was  simply  the 
Pickens'  version  of  the  thing  every 
Georgia  girl  is  born  with — a  good  old 
Southern  line.  Believe  rne,  you'd  do  well 
to  cultivate  just  that  when  your  lover's 
losing  interest.  For  Jane  and  I  both 
agreed  it  was  the  one  thing  we'd  never 
known  to  fail.  A  little  harmless  blarney 
can  go  a  mighty  long  way  in  a  pinch. 

Unless  your  current  masculine  prob- 
lem is  one  of  those  worldly-wise  sophis- 
ticates who  is  a  little  too  keen  to  fall  for 
sweet-talk.  A  blase  young  cynic  who  has 
had  flattery  tried  on  him  so  many  times 
before ;  he  merely  dismisses  your  pretty 
speeches  as  just  so  much  foolish  coquetry. 

Well,  here  is  a  different  idea : 

Harriett  Hilliard  would  use  his  weak- 
ness. 

Harriett  is  one  of  the  most  sophisticated 
girls  I  know.  Under  her  platinum  shingle 
and  endless  banter  you'll  find  one  of  the 
cleverest,  clearest-thinking  brains  along 
Radio  Row.  So  I  knew  her  method  of 
rounding  up  stray  swains  would  be  a  can  of 
kerosene  for  the  embers. 

It's  that  and  more.  It's  unique.  For 
Harriett  Hilliard  would,  the  moment  she 
sensed  a  drop  in  a  suitor's  sentimental 
temperature,  cater  to  his  main  weakness 
with  all  the  pressure  she  could  apply. 

And  by  a  man's  "main  weakness"  Har- 
riett means  the  thing  he  loves  most  about 
his  sweetheart.  It  may  be  simply  that 
she's  his  ideal  good-time  girl,  or  that  she 
seems  to  understand  him,  or  that  she's  a 
pretty  nifty  tennis  player.  Or,  he  likes 
to  be  looked  up  to — and  she  knows  how 
to  make  him  feel  that.  Or  he  goes  for 
beauty — and  she's  beautiful.  But  the 
reason  he  fell  for  her  in  the  first  place 
was  because  she  was  the  answer  to  some 
one  thing  he  particularly  liked — his  weak- 
ness. Which  is  what  she'll  use  to  get 
him  back  under  Harriett's  method- 
Here's  an  illustration  of  the  way  she 
explained  all  that  to  me.  Remember  Joan 
Crawford's  recent  "Forsaking  All  Oth- 
ers?" The  night  before  Joan  was  to 
marry  Robert  Montgomery  in  the  pic- 
ture, an  old  girl  of  Bob's,  named  Connie, 
set  out  to  get  him  to  return  to  her.  She 
knew  that  he  was  a  playboy  at  heart  and 
that  she  was  a  better  playgirl  than  Joan. 
So  when  all  her  other  wiles  had  failed  she 
shifted  her  attack  to  the  thing  she  knew 
he  loved  best  in  all  the  world — his  weak- 
ness— gay,  wild  night  life.  Soon  she  had 
him  enthusiastically  reminiscing  with  her 
— Paris,  Havana,  Madrid.  The  glitter- 
ing, insane  evenings  they'd  spent  together. 
Suddenly  he  realized  that  it  was  Connie 
who  had  been  the  perfect  companion  of 
his  most  idyllic  moments.  Result:  Joan 
was  deserted  at  the  altar. 

That's  a  drastic  case,  of  course.  Yours 
is  doubtlessly  much  less  complicated.  But 
if  you're  losing  a  man,  according  to  Har- 
riett Hilliard,  it's  because  somebody  else 
is  catering  to  his  pet  peculiarity  a  little 
more  competently  than  you.  Maybe  he 
originally  fell  for  your  quiet  nature,  and 
lately  you've  had  the  go-jitters  every 
night.  Maybe  he  adored  you  because  you 
were  so  beautifully  slim,  and  you've 
gained  too  much. 

But  you  know  his  weakness.  And  know- 
ing that,  you  know  now  what  to  do  about 
it    //  it's  something  over  which  you  have 


control!  But  if  you  honestly  can't  avoid 
gaining,  or  getting  bored  when  he  doesn't 
take  you  somewhere — 

Gertrude  Niesen  would  use  indifference. 

"And  the  kind  of  indifference  I  use 
does  not  mean  getting  dramatic  and  tell- 
ing a  man  he  can  scram !" 

Rather,  much  rather,  Gertrude  would 
be  under-indifferent.  For  she  told  me 
that  she  had  learned,  alas  too  well,  that 
the  minute  you  impress  an  ex-  too  strongly 
with  your  seeming  nonchalance,  he'll  catch 
on.    Men  are  a  bit  clever  that  way. 

Haven't  you  ever  noticed  that  the  beaux 
you  were  really  glad  to  get  rid  of  always 
came  back  for  more?  Haven't  you,  hon- 
estly? Well  Gertrude  says  that's  because 
it  practically  killed  them  to  discover  that 
their  cooling  off  failed  to  feaze  you  one 
way  or  the  other.  You  just  naturally  didn't 
give  a  hang.  And  your  natural  indiffer- 
ence, without  your  realizing  it,  behaved 
like  a  boomerang. 

So  if  you're  smart  you'll  think,  next 
time,  of  just  how  you  must  have  acted  on 
one  of  those  occasions  when  it  didn't  mat- 
ter to  you  whether  he  stayed  or  went. 
You'll  remember  the  things  you-  said  to 
him  and  the  things  you  did  and  copy  them 
on  the  man  you  feel  you've  simply-got-to- 
have-to-go-on-living ! 

But  because  some  men  can  be  so  darn 
difficult  sometimes,  and  make  you  practi- 
cally tear  your  hair  out  because  nothing 
seems  to  bring  them  around — I've  saved  one 
method  until  last.  It's  much  too  good  to 
be  called  a  last  resort.  In  fact,  if  you've 
the  right  type  of  straight-forward  per- 
sonality and  you've  got  nerve  enough  to 
try  this  idea,  it  may  save  you  a  lot  of 
headaches : 

Frances  Lang  ford  would  use  frankness. 

"And  that's  not  because  I  get  credit  for 
being  shy,  either,"  she  told  me.  "I  don't 
think  I  am  shy,  really.  I'd  be  just  as 
cagey  as  the  next  girl  about  setting  after 
my  best  beau  if  I  thought  camouflage 
would  work.  But  I've  found,  for  me,  the 
only  thing  to  do  is  to  lay  all  my  car 
on  the  table  and  bury  my  pride  a 
frankly  ask  him  point-blank  why  he's 
dropping  me." 

I  think  I  can  see  her  now,  wearing  that 
Maybelle  Manning  tea-gown  of  hers  with 
the  fluffy  blue  sash.  Looking  up  no  hig 
than  the  starched  whiteness  of  his  w 
collar.  Saying,  earnestly :  "Out  with  it- 
please,  Bill.  What's  been  wrong  with  us 
lately?  If  the  fun's  begun  to  go  away  for 
you  I — I  want  to  know.    Tell  me  .  .  .'' 

I  think  he'd  tell  her.  Really  I  do.  Not 
because  she's  Frances  Langford — for 
radio  stars  have  their  sentimental  ups 
and  downs  like  all  other  girls.  Probably 
more,  when  you  come  to  think  of  it.  But 
he'd  tell  her,  simply  because  sincerity  is 
a  little  rare  these  days,  and  no  young 
man  in  his  right  mind  could  have  it  of- 
fered to  him  like  that  and  not  go  for  it. 

He  might  answer,  plausibly :  "Nothing's 
wrong  with  me,  Frances.  But  I've  sorta 
felt  these  last  few  weeks  like  you  were 
— acting  a  little  distant  or  something  and 
maybe  I'd  better  take  the  hint." 

A  plain  case  of  misunderstanding.  It's 
only  that,  so  many  times,  Frances  Lang- 
ford  thinks,  when  boy-and-girl  affairs  go 
on  the  rocks.  Straight  frankness  has  al- 
most always  worked  for  her. 

She  believes  it  would  work  for  you.

Pinky  Tomlin— Hollywood's  Wonder  Boy

The  spotlight  focussed  on  him.  and  his 
blue  eyes  peered  out  through  those  rim- 
ess  glasses  at  the  tier  after  tier  of  tit- 
ering  sophisticates;  he  shifted  his  bal- 
nce  from  one  foot  to  another,  looking 
for  all  the  world  like  an  absent-minded 
sychology  professor  who  had  wandered 
nto  the  wrong  laboratory,  and.  in  look- 
ng  for  an  escape,  was  feeling  like  a  mouse 
n  a  maze.  The  orchestra  tooted  off  on 
the  introduction  of  a  new  song — a 
totally  new  song,  and  the  professor 
slapped  his  long,  slender  fingers  rhyth- 
mically, making  a  courageous  stagger  at 
nonchalance.  As  the  orchestra  modulated 
into  the  vamp,  he  lifted  his  arms  farther 
nd  farther  from  his  sides,  until  finally 
hey  were  swinging  with  the  rhythm  like 
he  animated  limbs  of  a  scarecrow  flapping

ife,  but  leave  it  to  Jimmy.    It's  either  a 
g  or  a  sensation.'-  the   Baron  barked 
ck. 

"It"  opened  his  mouth  and  started :  "Oh, 
he  objection  of  »ty  affection  has 
hanged  my  whole  complexion  from 
ehitc  to  rosy  red  .  .  ."  and  I'm  telling 


you,  the  combined  force  of  Biltmore 
waiters  could  have  dropped  the  com- 
bined conglomeration  of  the  china,  cut- 
lery and  trays  of  the  Biltmore  service  on 
to  the  floor,  and  not  a  soul  would  have 
noticed  the  crash  .  .  .  their  attention  was 
completely  absorbed  by  Pinky  Tomlin. 

And  ever  since  that  night,  two  echoes 
have  reverberated  around  and  around  the 
world,  until  now  they're  a  din  in  our  ears 
and  a  frenzy  in  our  hearts  .  .  .  "The  ob- 
ject of  my  affection"  and  "What  the 
  is  it,  about  that  yuy?" 

Pinky  himself  is  surely  unprepossessing. 
Although  he's  almost  bald,  he's  just 
twenty-seven,  and  looks  anywhere  from 
twenty  to  forty.  He  has  big  ears  and  a 
broad,  slightly  crooked  grin  that  proves 
he's  young.  And  he  drawls.  He  says 
"Yes  ma'am"  and  "you  all"  and  "cain't," 
but  he  listens  mostly,  except  when  he's 
singing.  He  loves  to  sing.  He  loves 
to  write  songs,  too.  In  fact,  he  loves 
anything  to  do  with  rhythm  and  melody. 
When  he  sings,  from  the  way  he  swings 
his  arms  and  shifts  his  feet,  he  looks  as 
though  he'd  like  to  dance,  too,  but  he 
doesn't  know  how.  But  rhythm  and  mel- 
ody are  in  his  soul,  and  though  they  fol- 
low no  conventions,  they're  so  lyrical  and 
sincere  and  natural  that  no  one  can  help 
loving  them. 

Pinky  was  born  as  Truman  Tomlin 
on    September    9th,     1907,    in  Eureka 


Springs,  Arkansas,  but  he  moved  to  his 
real  "home  town,"  Durant,  Oklahoma, 
when  a  tad  of  three.  Growing  up,  acquir- 
ing that  "rosy  red"  flush  picking  cotton 
on  the  sun-baked  fields  of  Oklahoma,  he 
dreamed  of  law  school  and  taking  over 
dad's  practice,  but  the  muscles  in  his 
sweating  arms  rippled  to  the  rhythm  in 
his  heart,  and  the  song  on  his  lips  came 
from  melody  in  his  soul. 

At  college,  Truman  was  a  thoughtful 
student.  He  must  have  known  all  the 
right  answers — look  at  the  glasses!  But 
college  is  many-sided.  Socially  Pinkj 
hobnobbed  with  his  Delta  Tau  Delta 
fraternity  brothers.  Practically,  he  made 
his  guitar  and  his  voice  pay  his  way 
through  school.  He  organized  a  five- 
piece  band  that  barnstormed  the  Mnl- 
dlewest  in  the  summers,  playing  Texas, 
Kansas,  Arkansas,  Missouri  and  Okla- 
homa. The  boys  played  to  the  average 
tune  of  twenty  dollars  a  week. 

One  night  last  spring,  when  Pinky  was 
"washin'  up,"  getting  ready  to  go  out,  he 
told  his  mother  he  was  goin'  to  see  the 
"object  of  his  affection."  "W  hat ?"  re- 
torted his  mother,  eyeing  his  sunburned 
hue,  "with  that  complexion!"  And  all 
through  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-five 
miles  of  his  journey  to  his  girl  friend's, 
those  words  teased  themselves  into  his 
brain,  and  his  voice  toyed  with  them.  By 
the  time  he  reached  the  home  of  the  real

object  of  his  affection  he  ha<l  a  full- 
fledged  sung,  and  instead  of  taking  her 
to  the  movies  he  hummed  and  sang  and 
experimented  until  he  worked  it  out  on 
the  piano,  and  transferred  his  brain  child 
to  a  music  score. 

When  vacation  time  came.  Pinky  took 
his  collegians  to  Wichita  Palls,  Texas, 
where  his  musical  firstborn  made  its 
debut.  He  is  reluctant  to  talk  about  it, 
for  he  feels  that  talking  about  one's  sell 
is  a  sign  of  insufferable  egotism,  but  on 
being  persuaded  he  confessed  that  when 
they  played  the  regular  things  about 
thirty-five  couples  rose  to  dance,  but  when 
they  played  his  song,  and  he  sang  it, 
about  a  hundred  and  fifty  couples  (every- 
one in  the  place)  took  to  the  floor.  And 
having  heard  him  sing  fourteen  encores  of 
that  one  number  the  first  night  he  ap- 
peared at  the  Bowl,  we  can  understand 
how  the  simple  rangers  and  cowmen  of 
Texas  must  have  been  as  captivated  as  we 
would-be  cosmopolites  at  the  hypnotizing 
qualities  of  his  mellow,  untutored  un- 
styled,  unassuming  tenor.  Soon  a  pub- 
lisher offered  him  fifteen  hundred  dol- 
lars for  the  number  outright,  a  great 
temptation  to  a  boy  making  twenty  dol- 
lars a  week.  But  Pinky  "reckoned  as 
how  the  song  must  be  worth  more  if  the 
comp'ny  was  willin'  t'  pay  that  much  to 
an  unknown  writer." 

So  the  Oklahoma  tunesmith  began 
thinking.  He  had  met  Jimmy  Grier  once 
when  the  latter  came  through  the  West, 
and  Jimmy  seemed  like  a  good  guy.  At 
that  time  Bing  Crosby  hadn't  yet  set  the 
world  on  fire.  He  was  a  traveling  vaude- 
viller  with  Al  Kinker.  Pinky  had  heard 
that  Bing  and  Al  used  to  cry  in  their 
dressing-rooms  after  their  act,  because  they 
could  arouse  only  a  few  apathetic  claps 
from  the  audience.  Bing  Crosby  wasn't  any- 
body till  he  got  to  the  microphone  at  the 
Grove  in  Los  Angeles.  Pinky  talked  it 
over  with  a  pal.  Coy  Poe.  All  Pink}- 
had  was  one  hundred  dollars.  Coy  had 
two  hundred  dollars  and  a  Ford.  So 
they  took  Horace  Greeley's  advice. 

Within  a  few  days  they  rattled  into  Los 
Angeles,  innocently  parked  their  de  luxe 
Ford,  with  synchronized  sound  effects,  in 
a  red  zone,  and,  complete  with  Oklahoma 
dust,  sailed  nonchalantly  past  the  majestic, 
liveried  Irish  doorman  at  the  Biltmore, 
straight  to  Jimmy  Grier. 

Grier  listened,  liked  the  song,  wrote  the 
orchestration  that  has  swept  the  country, 
introduced  Pinky  and  his  song  to  the  pub- 
lic, and  gave  the  song  the  best  plugging 
ever  given  a  song.  From  Grier's  NBC 
broadcasts  alone  "The  Object  of  My 
Affection"  didn't  miss  a  minimum  of  two 
programs  an  evening  for  six  weeks.  Then 
Grier  arranged  for  Irving  Berlin  to  pub- 
lish it  (after  Jack  Robbins  had  turned  it 
down,  betting  Grier  the  best  suit  of  clothes 
he  ever  had  that  the  song  would  flop;  last 
week  Robbins  notified  Grier  to  order  the 
suit  .  .  .  the  song  passed  the  three  hun- 
dred thousand  mark,  a  terrific  turnover  for 
today),  and,  being  Brunswick's  Pacific 
Coast  recording  maestro.  "Godfather" 
Grier  made  the  arrangements  for  and 
recorded  all  of  Pinky 's  compositions  and 
song  specialties,  seeing  to  it  that  the  kid 
got  the  customary  royalties. 

Tomlin  started  at  forty  dollars  a  week ; 
the  second  week  Grier  doubled  his  salary. 
Next  Bing  Crosby  paid  the  Oklahoman 
the  unique  compliment  of  guesting  him  as 


the  only  male  soloist  he  ever  has  had  o  I 
his  CBS  program,  and  a  few  weeks  late  I 
Lucien  Hubbard,  M-G-M  producer,  v/tiM 
to  the  Bowl  to  investigate  the  object  <  | 
his  daughters'  interest,  and  before  tl  f 
night  was  over  he  signed  Pinky  to  a  si)I 
months'  contract  at  one  thousand  dollaiifl 
per  week.  "Times  Square  Lady",  sta:  I 
ring  Virginia  Bruce  and  Robert  Taylol 
was  rewritten  to  insert  a  part  for  Tomliil 
who  steals  the  picture  as  himself,  singinfl 
three  of  his  own  compositions.  And  up  I 
completion  of  the  picture  Pinky  signed  I 
contract  for  an  eight-week  personal  aj  I 
pearance  tour  in  the  East,  at  a  reporttM 
thirty-seven  hundred  and  fifty  per,  or  1 
thirty-thousand-dollar  total.  So  the  k;  1 
probably  paid  cash  for  that  blue  Packar  I 
he  bought,  and  for  the  livery  of  hi 
chauffeur,  too. 

Well,  that's  the  story  of  what's  happent  I 
to  Pinky  Tomlin.  Those,  are  the  breatl  V 
taking  facts  that  have  stunned  HollywooiM 
And  Hollywood  knows  the  real  lowdowl 
on  publicity  methods — knows,  for  instanc  I 
that  that  captivating  bit  of  glamour  haile  I 
as  a  youthful  find  from  far-off  GraustarT 
is  in  reality  little  Margie  Jones,  who  he  I 
changed  her  name  four  times,  had  he  J 
face  lifted,  adopted  a  new  coiffure  an  I 
arched  her  eyebrows  !  Hollywood  know  I 
too,  that  Pinky  Tomlin  is  an  or  I 
the-level  newcomer,  a  real  stranger  froil 
the  sticks.  He  has  no  theories  aboil 
acheiving  success.  He  apes  no  type.  HI 
has  no  high-powered,  suave  manager  tl 
wheedle  big  salaries  and  manoeuver  fror  I 
page  publicity  for  him,  no  veteran  of  thl 
field  to  tell  him  to  pose  as  elusive,  cr 
mysterious,  cave-mannish  or  an  irresii 
tible  matinee  idol.  Pinky  Tomlin  simpl 
chugged  into  Los  Angeles  and  asked  t 
sing  his  song,  and  stayed  to  serenade  tr 
country  to  unresisting  surrender. 

The  old-timers  predict  that  his  popi 
larity  will   pass;   some  say  he  shouldn 
have  gone  East  so  soon,  that  he  isn't  yi1 
ready    for    the    critical    skepticism  c 
Gotham.   Maybe  the  East  won't  succum 
like  the  West.   Maybe  he  went  too  fas 
Maybe  he's  a  "flash  in  the  pan".  Well 
Bing  Crosby  and  Rudy  Vallee  and  Ger«: 
Austin  once  were  considered  "flashes  i|- 
the   pan".    They  defied   imitation.  The 
weathered  time  and  criticism  and  changin 
styles. 

As   for   Pinky  himself,   he   is  neitht 
dazed  nor  scared  nor  overly  hopeful. 

"When  dad  died,"  he  says,  "I  knew 
had  to  do  something.   I  didn't  know  wh; 
it  would  be,  but  I  knew  that  somehov 
something  would  happen.   I  reckon  I  hav 
sort    of    a    sense    of    anticipation,  th« 
way  ...  I  can  tell  if  a  performance  i 
going  to  be  good  or  bad  before  it  eve  • 
starts.    I  reckon  all  this  is  what  I  soi 
o'  anticipated.    If  I  am  just  a  fad,  an 
it  all  blows  over  pretty  soon,  I've  save 
most  of  my  money,  and  I'll  go  back  an 
finish  my  last  year  of  law  school,  m 
brothers  can  go  through  college,  and  I' 
practice  law,  I  guess.    But  .  .  .  well,  I', 
sort  o'  like  to  go  on  writin'  songs  .... 
and  I  like  pictures  right  well.  They're 
real  permanent  record  of  your  achieve 
ments,  while  on  the  radio  you  jus'  sing  an 
it's  all  over." 

Pretty  level-headed,  eh:  When  he  talk 
like  that,  pictures  of  two  other  middle 
western  farm  boys  come  to  my  mind.  On

rams.  The  last  time  I  saw  him  he  had 
list  finished  arranging  four  programs  for 
er,  a  recital  program,  a  benefit  program 
nd  two  radio  program?. 
Why?  Why,  possessing  a  real  talent 
imself,  doesn't  he  develop  it,  devote  his 
me  to  making  a  name  for  himself? 
"Because  no  one  will  do  as  much  for 
Hadys'  career  as  I'm  willing  to  do,"  he 
mfesses.  "No  one  has  the  time.  Agen- 
cies have  too  many  clients  to  think  of.  I'm 
ith  Gladys  at  every  rehearsal.  We  plan 
very  program  together.  I  feel  that 
ladys  must  not  have  too  many  routine 
sks  to  distract  her.  If  she  had  to  an- 
wer  the  phone  every  time  it  rings,  if 
te  had  to  assume  responsibility  for  the 
ousehold — do  all  the  ordering,  the  over- 
ling and  the  keeping  of  accounts — she 
ould  have  to  give  up  some  of  the  splen- 
id  work  she  is  doing.  Some  songs  would 
ave  to  remain  unsung,  and  that  would  be 
nfair  to  her  and  to  those  who  listen  to 
er." 

I  So  Frank  Chapman  does  everything  he 
in.  If  Gladys  sleeps  late,  exhausted  from 
previous  evening's  performance,  he  even 
rders  their  dinner  himself.  Incidentally, 
ere's  how  they  manage  their  finances, 
iach  has  a  personal  bank  account.  Then 
jiere's  a  joint  account  to  which  both  con- 
'ibute  each  week  for  the  household  ex- 
enses. 

Frank  is  a  buffer  between  Gladys  and 
jie  rest  of  the  world.  When  she  is  hurt  by 
ime  thoughtless  or  venomous  criticism, 
rank  soothes  her.  If  she  loses  her  tem- 
pt and  might  possibl  y  say  the  wrong  tning, 
e  steps  tactfully  into  the  breach.

IT  MAY  BE  THE  COLOR  OF  YOUR  FACE  POWDER ! 


Did  you  ever  stop  to  think  that  the  shade  of 
face  powder  you  use  so  confidently  might  be 
altogether  the  wrong  one  for  you? 

It's  hard  to  believe  that  women  can  make  a 
mistake  in  their  shades  of  face  powder  or  that 
one  shade  can  make  you  look  older  than  an- 
other. Yet,  it's  only  too  obviously  true! 

You  know  how  tricky  a  thing  color  is.  You 
know  how  even  a  slight  variation  in  color  can 
make  a  startling  difference  in  your  appearance. 
The  same  transforming  effect  holds  true  in  the 
case  of  face  powders.  Where  one  shade  will 
have  positively  the  effect  of  making  you  look 
young,  another  will,  just  as  decisively,  make 
you  look  older  —  years  older  than  you  are! 

Face  Powder  Fallacies 

Many  women  look  years  older  than  they  actu- 
ally are  because  they  select  their  face  powder 
shades  on  entirely  the  wrong  basis.  They  try  to 
match  their  so-called  "type"  or  coloring  which 
is  utterly  fallacious.  The  purpose  in  using  a 
shade  of  face  powder  is  not  to  match  anything, 
but  to  bring  out  what  natural  gifts  you  have.  In 
other  words,  to  flatter! 

Just  because  you  are  a  brunette  does  not 
necessarily  mean  you  should  use  a  brunette  or 
dark  rachel  powder  or  that  you  should  use  a 
light  rachel  or  beige  if  you  are  a  blonde. 
In  the  first  place,  a  dark  powder  may  make 
a  brunette  look  too  dark,  w  hile  a  light  pow- 
der may  make  a  blonde  look  faded.  Sec- 
ondly, a  brunette  may  have  a  very  light 
skin  while  a  blonde  may  ha\  e  a  dark  >k.  i ti 
and  vice  versa.  The  sensible  and  practical 
way  of  choosing  your  face  powder  shade. 


regardless  of  your  individual  coloring,  is  to  Irv 
on  all  fi\e  basic  shades  ot  lac<  powder.  I 
"the  five  basic  shades"  because  that  is  all  that 
is  necessary, as  colorists  will  tell  you,  to  accom- 
modate all  tones  of  skin.

USE  PERSTIK- ITS 

EASIER  TO  USE  AND 

EASY  TO  KEEP  IN  YOUR  PURSE 

Here's  a  new  kind  of  deodorant — a 
welcome  improvement.  No  need  to 
spread  it  on  or  rub  it  in  with  the  fingers. 
No  need  to  dig  into  a  jar.  Use  it  before 
or  after  you  are  dressed — it  cannot  in- 
jure clothing.  No  waiting  for  it  to  dry, 
and  you  can  use  it  right  after  shaving. 

This  new  deodorant  is  the  size  and 
shape  of  a  lipstick — applied  as  easily 
as  a  lipstick.  A  few  touches  to  the  arm- 
pits and  you  are  protected  against  odor 
for  the  day. 

Its  name?  Perstik.  And  because  it  is 
the  size  and  shape  of  a  lipstick,  it  is  easy 
to  keep  in  your  purse  for  use  during  the 
day  or  evening.  If  you  have  ever — even 
for  a  single  moment  —  suspected  the 
presence  of  under-arm  odor  when  away 
from  your  boudoir,  you  will  appreciate 
having  a  Perstik  with  you  in  your  purse 
at  all  times. 

Drug  and  department  stores  throughout  the

der  of  announcing  the  name  of  a  male 
singer  before  he  announced  Gladys.  Glaring 
at  the  announcer,  she  said  :  "How  dare  you 
do  a  thing  like  that?  Don't  you  know  that 
you  must  announce  a  woman's  name  be- 
fore a  man's?" 

The  ahnouncer  began  to  explain  that  he 
hadn't  meant  to  insult  Gladys,  that  in  the 
excitement  he  had  simply  forgotten  the 
proper  way  of  doing  things. 

But  Frank  saw  that  Gladys  was  so  an- 
noyed, he  feared  that  she  would  be  un- 
able to  put  her  mind  on  her  performance. 
He  must  distract  her.  "Darling,"  he  said 
casually,  "haven't  you  a  little  too  much 
eye  shadow  on?" 

Out  came  a  mirror.  Gladys  studied  it 
carefully.  Did  she  have  too  much  eye  sha- 
dow on  or  didn't  she?  Forgotten  was  the 
announcer.  The  important  thing  was  her 
performance  and  how  she  would  look  to  the 
audience. 

You  wouldn't  imagine  that  this  beautiful 
woman,  who  has  achieved  so  much,  would 
be  disturbed  by  an  anonymous  letter 
writer.  But  more  than  once  this  has  hap- 
pened. Once  Gladys  gave  to  a  writer  for 
a  musical  magazine  an  interview  on  the 
pitfalls  that  lie  before  a  young  singer.  It 
was  an  honest,  sincere,  straightforward 
interview,  reflecting  the  star's  personal  con- 
victions and  offering  advice  that  would  be 
helpful  to  any  young  singer.  But  shortly 
after  the  interview  was  published  there 
came  an  anonymous  letter  to  Gladys  Sar- 
castically, it  said : 

"What  a  pity  it  would  be  if  you 
should  die  soon,  that  all  knowledge 
in  the  world  should  die  out  with  you." 

That  letter,  with  its  bitter  sarcasm,  up- 
set Gladys.  "If  only  I  could  answer  it," 
she  said.  "Of  course  I  don't  think  that  I 
know  everything!  I  know  how  little  I 
really  do  know,  how  much  I  have  to  learn. 
But  how  can  I  answer  an  anonymous  let- 
ter?" 

Frank  comforted  her.  "Gladys,"  he  said, 
"don't  you  realize  that  an  anonymous  let- 
ter doesn't  mean  a  thing,  because  if  the 
writer  had  the  courage  of  her  conviction 
she  would  have  signed  it?  The  writer  of 
an  anonymous  letter  is  one  degree  lower 
than  a  pickpocket!"  And  he  warned  her 
that  so  long  as  she  was  in  the  limelight 
she  must  expect  attacks  from  people  who 
had  been  frustrated  in  their  own  careers. 

And  it  was  he  who  comforted  her  when 
another  anonymous  letter  writer  criticized 
a  dress  she  wore  at  a  Sunday  night  con- 
cert. The  writer  apparent!}'  did  not  realize 
that  long-sleeved  evening  gowns  were  in 
fashion  that  season,  and  derided  Gladys  for 
wearing  one.  Frank  reminded  her  that 
fashion  periodicals  photographed  her  in 
that  very  dress  and  published  it  with  the 
caption  that  she  was  one  of  the  best-dressed 
women  in  the  country. 

But  these  letters  made  Gladys  so  unhappy 
that  Frank  no  longer  permits  her  to  read 
her  mail  until  he  has  gone  through  it 
first. 

In  ever  so  many  ways  Frank  is  the  ideal 
husband  that  women  say  they  want. 

"The  way  to  treat  a  wife,"  he  says,  '"is 
as  if  you  were  not  married  to  her." 

Many  men,  as  soon  as  they  get  married, 
seem  to  forget  that  bread  and  bacon  are 
never  quite  enough  for  women,  that  poetry 
and  flowers  and  romance  are  things  that 


they  crave,  that  are  essential  to  happiness 
That's  a  mistake  that  Gladys  Swarthout' 
husband  never  makes.  "I  still  send  h.-r  u 
many  flowers  as  I  ever  did,"  he  says.  " 
praise  her  appearance.  Everyone  know 
she  dresses  exquisitely,  so  why  should 
withhold  the  praise  that  others  are  will 
ing  to  give  her?  There  are  dozens  of  lit 
tie  courtesies  that  every  man  showi 
friend  or  a  girl  whom  he  is  courting.  Wh 
should  these  courtesies  cease  when  you  ar 
married?  They're  such  little  things  i 
themselves — like  helping  Gladys  throug 
traffic,  not  being  impatient  when  she  stop 
to  do  some  window  shopping,  helping  he 
on  and  off  with  her  coat,  helping  her  out  c 
the  car — yet  the  cumulative  effect  of  thos 
little  things  is  considerable." 

I'm  sure  that  Frank  is  right  in  believ 
ing  that  these  little  things  matter  a  grea 
deal  to  women.  And  yet  my  feeling 
about  the  Gladys  Swarthout-Frank  Chap 
man  marriage  are  a  little  mixed.  Ther 
are  times  when  I  feel  like  shouting:  "Lool 
at  this  beautiful  example  of  modern  mar 
riage.  See  what  this  man  is  doing  fo 
his  wife,  how  he  is  sacrificing  his  caree 
to  further  hers."  But  there  are  other  time 
when  I  feel  like  saying:  "Doesn't  he  knov 
that  women  aren't  properly  constituted  t' 
accept  such  sacrifices  from  the  men  the. 
love?" 

About  six  months  ago  Frank  was  signei 
up  for  a  concert  tour. 

"Darling,"  said  Gladys.  "You'll  hav' 
to  work  out  a   whole  new  program  o 

songs." 

"Nonsense,"  said  Frank,  "the  songs 
sang  on  my  concert  tour  last  year  wil 
have  to  do.    I  haven't  the  time  to  prepar 
anything  else." 

"You  haven't  the  time!"  Gladys  TV 
proached  him.  "What  do  you  mean?  Yo; 
always  find  time  enough  to  prepare  pro 
grams  for  me.  Can't  you  do  as  much  fo 
yourself?" 

"This  program  is  good,"  persistec 
Frank.  "These  aren't  the  same  cities  1 
sang  in  last  year,  so  the  songs  will  be  nev 
to  them." 

Frank  sang  the  old  program  of  songs' 
But  had  the  concert  tour  been  one  whicl 
Gladys  had  to  make,  he  would  have  fount 
time  to  prepare  a  new  program  of  songSi 
He  honestly  believes  that  Gladys'  career  il 
the  most  important.  He  plans,  eventually 
when  her  career  is  moving  along  smoothly, 
to  do  something  about  his  own.  But  un 
less  he  does  that  something  soon,  his  dreanl 
will  remain  a  dream. 

That's  whjr  I  say  I  don't  know  whethei 
to  shout  "Hallelujah"  over  this  marriagf 
or  to  weep  about  it.  Because  here  an 
two  utterly  charming  people  who  are  com 
pletely  in  love  with  each  other  and  whe 
are  doing  everything  they  can  to  keej 
their  marriage  the  glowing  thing  it's  alway: 
been.  Yet  in  their  very  sacrifices  may  li< 
the  seed  of  future  trouble. 

That  is  the  hidden  danger  that  menaced 
Gladys'  happiness.  Does  constant  sacriH 
fice  win  whole-hearted  admiration,  or  does 
it  breed  discontent?  I  am  sure  there  are 
times  when  Gladys  wishes  that  Frank  would 
do  less  for  her  and  more  for  himseli 
Though  she  may  be  aware  with  ever) 
breath  >he  draws  of  her  deep  gratitude  to 
her  husband,  there  will  always  be  a  pre- 
sumptive seed  of  unhappiness  in  her  heart 
so  long  as  he  sacrifices  his  career  to  hers,

ams  will  come  in  from  abroad.    At  the 


offices  of  NBC  in  Radio  City,  the  other 
day,  I  heard  one  from  Poland — and  what 
a  miracle  it  seemed,  to  hear  from  across 
the  seas  gorgeous  music,  as  if  it  were 
played  in  the  very  room  where  we  sat ! 
There  will  be  a  program  each  month  from 
Russia,  bringing  authentic  Soviet  music. 
A  program  from  Italy  each  month.  Two 
programs  monthly  from  Germany,  and  two 
from  Hungary.  Give  yourself  a  treat, 
and  get  at  least  some  of  these  on  your 
radio ! 

And  if  you  can't  get  but  one — don't 
miss  this  one!  On  June  9th,  NBC  will 
broadcast  from  the  historic  Benedictine 
Chapel  at  Einseideln,  founded  over  a 
thousand  years  ago,  the  annual  Whit- 
sunday celebration  of  the  monks'  and 
boys'  choir.  We  can't  all  be  world  trav- 
ellers, and  visit  far,  strange  places — but 
the  radio  can  range  the  highways  and  by- 
ways of  the  world,  and  bring  these  treas- 
ures to  us. 

Did  you  ever  think  of  going  to  a  mu- 
seum for  a  good  time?  Probably  not  since 
Aunt  Julia  took  you  to  see  the  dinosaur 
and  the  icthyosaurus,  when  you  were  seven ! 
But  here  again  the  radio  transforms  the 
pumpkin  into  a  golden  coach !  Forget  the 
word  "museum" — which  conjures  up  a 
yawn  and  a  picture  of  dusty  tedium!  And 
think  of  a  dramatic  script  presenting  some 
strange  and  fascinating  feature  of  man's 
progress  since  the  dawn  of  time.  NBC 
is  planning  a  series  of  broadcasts,  here 


and  abroad,  to  present  such  features.  Not 
all  will  deal  with  long  past  periods  of 
history.  Some  will  be  as  recent  as  Bee- 
be's  bathysphere,  for  example,  which  will 
take  you  down  into  the  deeps  where,  but 
a  brief  time  past,  fabulous  sea  denizens 
gazed  in  cosmic  surprise  at  the  fantastic 
iron  monster  which  was  invading  their  se- 
crets. Don't  be  afraid  of  tuning  in  on 
these  broadcasts  this  summer.  Mr.  Lun- 
dell  promises  that  they  will  be  thrilling, 
and  in  the  form  of  dramatic  scripts.  The 
broadcasts  will  come  from  a  twenty-fivc- 
pound  pack  set. 

Did  you  ever  see  a  play  with  a  cast  of 
five  million  people?  Well,  here's  your 
chance !  This  is  another  unique  summer 
feature  scheduled  by  NBC.  To  balance 
their  "America  at  Work"  broadcast  of 
May  first,  they  will  put  on  early  in  June 
"America  at  Play."  You  will  take  in  a 
Saturday  afternoon  at  Coney  Island,  an  At- 
lantic City  holiday,  Chicago  and  Cali- 
fornia beaches,  baseball  games  (one  in- 
ning of  each)  and  a  sand-lot  baseball 
game,  a  soccer  game  in  England,  a  glimpse 
of  Times  Square,  the  Loop  in  Chicago. 
San  Francisco's  summer  gatherings,  rail- 
road terminals,  airports,  piers,  excursions 
— all  the  varied  activities  of  a  summer 
afternoon  when  work  releases  its  multi- 
tudes for  relaxation,  and  hurrying  throngs, 
hcliday-bound,  rush  out  of  the  cities.

up  of  these  scenes,  with  its  cast  of  five 
million  people.  To  broadcast  this,  and 
other  special  features,  NBC  makes  use 
of  it*  "mobile  transmitter" — a  car  capa- 
ble of  broadcasting  at  a  speed  of  sixty 
miles  an  hour,  over  a  short-wave  set  with 
a  radius  of  from  fifty  to  seventy-five 
miles.  These  cars  are  maintained  in  New 
York,  Chicago,  and  on  the  West  Coast. 

July  will  bring,  of  course,  broadcasts  of 
patriotic  celebrations  all  over  the  country. 
Distinguished  speakers  and  singers  will  be 
featured  on  varied  programs.  I  like  to 
listen  to  these,  because  1  think  it  helps  to 
remember  in  these  troubled  times  the  ori- 
gin of  our  nation  and  the  principles  of 
liberty  with  which,  on  that  long  ago  July 
day,  it  was  established.  There  were 
troubled  politics  and  futile  panaceas  and 
false  prophecies  in  those  days,  too,  but 
we  won  through  then — and  we  will  again ! 

And  here's  a  cosmic  feature.  On  July 
loth   we  can  watch  the  eclipse  of  the 

j  moon,  and  hear  it  described  by  noted 
scientists  and  astronomers,  broadcast 
over  the  NBC  network  from  the  Hudson 
observatory,  from  the  New  York  Plane- 

I  larium,  and  from  Mt.  Wilson  on  the 
West  Coast. 

More  sports  events  will  be  coming  along 
in  July,  August,  and  September.  The 
tennis  tournaments  in  England.  The  Na- 
tional Amateur  Golf  Championship  games. 
Track  meets.  Baseball.  Motor-boat 
races.    And  the  Class  J  yacht  races  in 

|  England. 

But — maybe  you  don't  care  so  much 
about  these  special  feature  programs. 
What  you  want  is  news  of  the  regular 
programs  you  have  learned  to  love  and 
look  for.  And  naturally.  They  arc  the 
bread  and  meat  of  radio  fare.  The  oth- 
ers are  the  desserts — the  ice-cream  sun- 
daes. 

Well,  I  can  give  you  good  news  of  your 
favorites,  too.  You  can  tuck  a  tiny  radio 
in  your  motor-boat,  if  you  don't  want  to 
linger  on  the  porch  or  in  the  living- 
room,  and  listen  to  the  blithe  banter  of 
George  Burns  and  his  goofy  Gracie,  or  to 
the  delectable  Easy  Aces.  They  will  be 
right  with  us  all  summer.  And  Amos  'n' 
Andy,  of  course,  in  their  usual  spot. 

If  you  still  find  the  amateur  programs 
amusing,  you  can  count  on  Major  Bowes. 
And  Ray  Perkins'  National  Amateur  Hour 
also  will  be  yours  all  summer  for  a  t\\  iat 
of  the  dial. 

The  Showboat  sails  merrily  along,  and 
maybe  Charles  Winninger  once  more  will 
be  Captain  Henry — if  rumor  may  be  be- 
lieved. Frank  Mclntyre,  Lanny  Ross, 
Muriel  Wilson,  Conrad  Thibault,  and 
other  popular  favorites  will  still  be  aboard. 

Dramatic  shows  during  the  summer  will 
be  of  a  lighter  nature,  both  of  the  major 
networks  have  decided.  According  to 
Courtenay  Savage,  Director  of  Dramatics 
and  Continuity  for  the  Columbia  Broad- 
casting System,  the  trend  of  summer 
script  presentations  is  away  from  one- 
time performances  of  plays  and  back  to 
serials,  each  episode  of  which  is  a  com- 
plete story. 

Among  these  are  listed  Dangerous  Par- 
adise, with  Elsie  Hitz  and  Nick  Daw- 
son, One  Man's  Family,  Grand  Hotel,  Vic 
and  Sade,  Clara,  Lu  'n'  Em,  and  Ma  Per- 
kins. The  Lux  Radio  Theatre,  of  course, 
will  give  its  customary  full-length  play. 

Many    afternoon    shows    which  have 


proved  successful  are  now  moved  to  c 
ning    spots.     Roadways    to    Komanc  it

|ld.    All  during  her  youth  she  had  made 
Sequent  trips  to  the  Continent,  studying 
nging  and  drama  there  and  in  New  York. 
At  nineteen  she  was  ready  to  begin  the 
|:age  career  for  which  she  had  worked 
hard.    When  she  married  that  year,  she 
ad  no  idea  it  meant  the  end  of  her  hopes, 
he  was  terribly  in  love  with  her  husband 
id  he  with  her.     In  those  first  tender 
eks.  they  planned  her   future.  Their 
;arriage  must  not  interfere  with  her  am- 
ans.     Nothing  should  stop  her. 
Nothing — but  one  of  life's  shabby  tricks. 
lA  month  after  their  wedding  her  hus- 
|tnd  went  down  before  a  critical  attack 
cerebral  meningitis.    For  days  he  lay 
ir  death.     The  doctors  said  the  only 
l>pe  was  to  get  him  to  the  country  and 
ep  him  there. 

She  was  so  young,  so  bewildered  at  this 
Jden  turn  of  her  life.  But  he  meant 
pre  to  her  than  any  of  her  ambitions, 
tough  he  was  ten  years  older  than  she, 
was  far  too  young  to  be  broken  like 
is.  They  moved  to  the  little  town  of 
thousand  people  in  the  Berkshire  Hills 
Western  Massachusetts.  For  the  time 
hig  she  must  put  aside  her  hopes.  In  a 
ir  or  two,  perhaps  her  husband  would 
^e  enough  strength   for   her   to  leave 

and  pursue  her  career. 
The  year  or   two   passed.     Her  hus- 
h's  health    improved,    but   not  sufti- 
uly  for  her  to  be  able  to  go  away  for 
\rt  than  a  few  days  at  a  time.  Her 
was  born  and  life  fell  into  a  wife's 
mother's  routine  of  dustcloths  and 
pers. 

hough  she  did  everything  she  could 
make  him  believe  it  did  not  matter, 
husband  felt  miserable  at  being  the 
^rier  to  the  life  she'd  planned.    So,  in- 
of  brooding  over  thwarted  hopes, 
threw  herself  into  the  local  dramatic 
musical  activities  with  a  fervor  that 
red  the  quiet  folk  of  the  New  England

She  told  the  Congregational  Church  it 
would  never  have  a  satisfactory  choir  un- 
til a  paid  quartet  was  organized.  She 
organized  it.  She  produced  Little  Theatre 
plays,  wrote  and  directed  them,  acted 
in  them.  She  found  time  to  sing  at  con- 
certs for  women's  clubs.  She  did  a  great 
deal  of  this  for  charity  but  so  conscien- 
tiously did  she  develop  her  talents  that 
they  became  worth  money  to  her.  She 
was  paid  as  much  as  ten  dollars  an  hour 
for  her  services  in  training  acting  and 
singing  groups. 

There  was  one  brief,  hopeful  interlude 
in  those  years  during  which  she  dared 
let  herself  believe  her  yearnings  might 
become  realities.  Her  husband  would 
never  be  well  enough  to  leave  the  coun- 
try, but  her  son  was  growing  up.  He  could 
help  care  for  his  father.  She  was  past 
thirty,  but  she  was  still  good-looking.  She 
hadn't  been  wasting  her  time.  She  had 
been  spending  all  her  spare  moments 
studying,  developing  her  dramatic  talent. 

Not  long  did  life  let  her  entertain  those 
hopes  again.  Her  mother,  succumbing  to 
an  illness  of  old  age,  became  an  invalid. 
Kate  seemed  destined  never  to  be  re- 
leased from  the  burden  of  family  cares. 

She  was  past  forty  when  both  her  hus- 
band and  her  mother  died  within  a  short 
time  of  each  other.  Life,  shorn  of  re- 
sponsibility and  companionship,  suddenly 
became  barren. 

She  looked  at  herself  in  the  mirror  one 
day.  Strange  how  quickly  those  years 
had  passed.  Her  hair  was  gray.  There 
were  lines  in  her  face.  But  her  tall  figure 
was  still  erect,  there  was  still  fire  in  her 
eyes.  Freed  by  death  from  her  burdens, 
she  determined  to  pick  up  where  she  had 
left  off  twenty-five  years  before. 

In  a  few  hours  she  rebuilt  all  those 
youthful  hopes.  And  in  a  few  hours  after 
she  had  come  to  New  York  the  next  day 
they  had  been  rudely  shattered  again. 

But  she  couldn't  keep  her  thoughts 
from  the  theatre.  During  the  succeeding 
days,  she  went  to  every  play  in  New 
York,  watched  the  stars  with  keen  inter- 
est, studied  characterizations.  The  more 
she  watched  the  more  quickly  returned 
her  conviction  that  she  could  do  as  well 
as  they. 

Behind  that  conviction  was  the  resil- 
ient spirit  Kate  had  inherited  from  her 
Irish  forebears.  One  morning,  three 
wreeks  after  Thatcher  had  told  her  she 
hadn't  a  chance  in  the  theatre,  she  awoke 
in  her  New  York  room,  suddenly  alert. 
She  sat  bolt  upright  in  bed. 

"Kate  McComb,"  she  said  to  herself, 
"you're  a  cheerful  idiot.  You  haven't  even 
tried.  You  march  right  out  and  go  from 
agent  to  agent  and  don't  you  stop  until 
you've  got  yourself  a  job  on  the  stage." 

Perhaps  only  this  woman  could- get  away  j 
with  what  she  did.  It -  wasn't  dishonest.  : 
It  was  the  only  thing  she  could  do  under  : 
the  circumstances.  She  knew  that  Thatcher  ! 
had  been  right,  knew'  producers  would  j 
laugh  at  her'  small  town  'activities.  '  So 
when  booking"  agents  asked*  her  <  for  her  | 
experience,  she  said : 

"Look  here,'  of  course  you  don't  know  ; 
my  work.    I've  been  on  the  stage  out  of 
town  for  a  good  many  years.    I've  just  de- 
cided  to   come   to   New   York   and  see 
what  I  can  do  here." 

She  had  to  be  vague,  couldn't  let  them 
know  what  she  had  really  been  doing. 
Fortunately    it    seemed    to    satisfy  them 


sufficiently  to  take  her  name  and  add: 
"in  case  anything  turns  up." 

But  would  it  satisfy  a  producer  w 
it  came  right  down  to  giving  her  a  j 
Weeks  later  she  had  her  chance  to  I 
out.  She  received  word  that  "Juno  and 
Paycock"  was  being  cast  for  Broad' 
production.     Her  determination  had 
lessened.    Boldly  she  walked  into  the 
fice  of  Augustin   Duncan,  the  produ 
and  asked  for  the  leading  role. 

He  looked  her  up  and  down  in  am; 
ment.  Who  was  this  woman?  He  di- 
know  her  from  Fve.  But  here  she 
barged  into  his  office  asking  for  the  It] 
ing  part!  Still,  there  was  something  \ 
about  her  that  commanded  his  attenti 
He  handed  her  a  script. 

"Read,"  he  ordered. 

As  she  read,  he  leaned  forward,  lis'; 
ing  intently.    This  was  no  ordinary  cl 
acter  actress,  worn  by  years  of  troup 
This  woman  had  a  youthful,   fresh  j 
livery. 

"Look  here,"  he  interrupted   suddc  j 
"I  can't  let  you  play  Juno.  That's 
ready  cast.    But  would  you  consider  pb 
ing    Mrs.    Tancred    and    understud)  j 

Juno?" 

Would  she?  Would  she?  Her  thai, 
at  last,  to  play  on  Broadway !  From  t ! 
until  the  show  opened  three  weeks  1:1 
Kate  spent  almost  every  waking  h] 
working  not  only  on  her  part  but  on  j 
understudy  role. 

She  rehearsed  before  the  mirror,  I 
muttered  lines  in  subways,  gestured  vl 
sandwiches  as  she  ate  in  tea  shops.  J 
didn't  mind  what  people  thought,  she  'I 
so  happy.  Happy  and  scared  of  It 
opening  night,  her  first  on  a  Broadxf 
stage. 

She  mustn't  let  the  others  see  rl 
thrilled  she  was,  mustn't  flub  her  lines  t 
all  costs  never  let  them  know  she  wal 
an  old  trouper. 

Then  came  the  chance  for  which  m  I 
actresses  have  waited  a  lifetime  in  v . 
In  the  second  week  the  leading  worl 
had  an  attack  of  laryngitis.  Kate  '| 
pretty  worried.  If  she  had  to  take  ll 
part,  it  would  be  the  final  test.  If  :. 
came  through,  success  was  certain.  I 
she  blew  up  it  would  probably  be  her  ti 
chance  on  Broadway.  She  went  to  I 
stage  manager. 

"That  woman's  pretty  sick,"  she  s:jj 
"Don't  you  think  I'd  better  have  a 
hearsal  of  my  understudy  role,  just  in  cjj 
anything  happens?" 

The  idea  was  instantly  pooh-poohed ' 
the  producer.  But  two  days  later  at  ncj 
Kate  received  a  frantic  summons, 
leading  woman  suddenly  had  beer 
worse  and  had  been  rushed  to  the  h' 
pital.  They  were  calling  an  erhergeil 
rehearsal.  '  ' 

It  was  a  nightmare  of  confusion, 
had  been  impossible  to  assemble  the 
tire    cast   on    such   short   notice.  Af 
struggling  through  the  rehearsal  as  l; 
they  could,  they  awaited  the  evening  pr| 
formance,  nervous,  apprehensive  of  Ka-. 
ability  to  play  the  leading  role. 

None  but  Kate  McComb  knew  of 
hours  she  had  spent  drilling  herself 
that  part.    She  mustn't  fail  herself  n< 
Mustn't!    She  was  forty-four.    This  d 
her  chance,  perhaps  the  only  one  sh| 
ever  have. 

In  the  wings   that  night  hovered

fingered  its  pages  uneasily.  As  the  per- 
formance went  on  through  the  first,  the 
second,  the  third  acts,  he  became  calmer. 
Kate  was  carrying  the  role  gallantly,  with 
never  a  slip,  never  any  evidence  of  the 
turmoil  of  hope  and  fear  within  her. 

When  the  performance  was  over  Dun- 
can came  to  her  dressing-room  and  spoke 
five  words  that  paid  for  all  the  years  of 
thwarted  dreams. 
"Kate,"  he  said,  "you're  a  real  trouper." 
The  rest  was  easy.    Not  too  easy,  mind 
ou,    but    confidence,    inspired    by  the 
knowledge  that  you  can  acquit  yourself 
'rommendably  in  a  crisis,  is  pretty  hard  to 
lold  down.    In  a  few  short  weeks,  Kate 
\lcComb  had  become  an  accepted  actress. 

With  the  roles  she  was  able  to  get  after 
hat,  it  was  natural  that  radio  should  wel- 
'ome  her.    Listeners  of  other  years  will 
"emember  her  in  "The  Silver  Flute"  and 
IfPenrod"  programs,  as  Ma  Kerrigan  in 

'The  Rise  of  the  Goldbergs."

that  it's  only  the  Fttings  and  the  Fromans 
and  the  Meltons  who  get  these  courtesies. 
The  small  fry  have  no  chance  at  all.  That 
is,  except  little  Miss  Kathleen  Nobody. 
She  got  what  she  was  after.  Leave  that 
to  her ! 

She  got  her  first  radio  job  in  that  same, 
go-after-it-yourself  manner.  She  was  go- 
ing to  the  movies  one  evening  in  Jersey 
City  and  there,  right  above  the  Stanley 
Theatre  she  saw  it — "Station  WHOM". 

She  walked  up  and  told  the  man  behind 
the  desk  that  she  wanted  an  audition — 
that  very  night. 

Now,  there  are  two  reactions  a  person 
can  get  in  meeting  a  girl  who  is  as  direct 
as  Kathleen.  One  is  to  throw  her  out — 
the  other  is  to  fall  under  the  charm  of 
her  straightforward  manner. 

This  man  fell.  Sure,  but  the  stars  were 
for  Kathleen  that  night !  She  took  her 
audition  right  then  and  there.  Her  clear, 
vivid  voice,  throbbing  with  the  rhythm  of 
Broadway,  was  emphasized  by  the  quiet 
of  the  empty  studio.  That  same  night 
Kathleen  was  hired  to  sing  over  Station 
WHOM  two  evenings  a  week. 

It's  a  wonder  to  me  that  Kathleen  didn't 
develop  a  nervous  breakdown  with  the 
crazy  pace  she  was  keeping.  Her  lunch 
hour  was  still  spent  madly  dashing  from 
one  music  publisher  to  another.  Some- 
times she  would  have  an  extra  minute  in 
which  to  gulp  down  a  malted  milk.  Many 
times  she  would  not.  Once,  in  the  late 
afternoon,  as  she  was  modelling  a  bridal 
gown,  she  fainted  dead  away  in  the  show- 
room right  in  front  of  the  whole  group  of 
buyers. 

But  soon  her  WHOM  job  vanished.  The 
station  had  run  into  financial  difficulties 
at  the  time,  and  had  to  eliminate  many 
programs. 

At  least  Kathleen  had  the  common  sense 
to  know  how  to  look  for  a  radio  job.  She 
didn't  attempt  to  crash  the  big  networks 
right  off.  She  tried  the  smaller  stations 
first.  She  wrote  to  WOR  for  an  audition. 
No  answer.  She  wrote  again.  No  an- 
swer. Again  and  again  she  wrote.  Still 
no  word.  Then  she  walked  up  and  spoke 
directly  to  the  program  director.  Result : 
a  sustaining  spot  on  WOR  twice  a  week. 
It  paid  her  nothing,  but  think  of  the  ex- 
perience ! 

This  time  Kathleen  had  to  do  some  pretty 
clever  manoeuvering  to  squeeze  that  re- 
hearsal and  broadcast  into  her  day — and 
still  hold  on  to  that  modelling  job  which 
she  needed  so  badly.  She  took  an  earlier 
lunch  hour,  rehearsed  from  eleven  to 
eleven-thirty,  broadcast  fifteen  minutes 
after  that,  and  then  grabbed  a  sandwich 
on  her  way  back  to  her  regular  job. 

This  isn't  a  fairy  tale,  don't  forget.  And 
this  modern  Cinderella  didn't  turn  into  a 
rich  and  famous  princess  overnight  by  the 
touch  of  a  magic  wand.  I  should  say  not ! 
Hard  work,  nerve  and  ingenuity  were  her 
fairy  godmothers. 

Now  she  was  beginning  to  spread  her 
wings.  She  hung  around  the  big  studios 
on  her  free  lunch  hours  and  pestered  Har- 
old Kemp,  head  of  the  Artists  Bureau. 

His  answer  was  always :  "Nothing  to- 
day,'' but  Kathleen  would  bounce  back  the 
next  day,  with  a  grin  covering  the  hope- 
lessness she  really  felt. 

Finally  it  was  to  come — the  tumultuous 
day  when  she  arrived  at  the  crossroads  and 
was  forced  to  make  a  decision  that  was 
to  affect  her  whole  life.    She  had  to  chose 


between  security — and  a  chance  for  fair 

It  was  that  phone  call  from  Kemp  whii 
started  it.  "Peter  van  Steeden,  the  bai 
leader,  is  holding  an  audition  for  a  gi 
singer.  Go  down  and  see  him  tomorro 
at  four.    There  may  be  a  chance  for  yoti 

Kathleen's  fingers  trembled  as  si 
hooked  the  chartreuse  chiffon  model  o 
"There  may  be  a  chance  jor  you.  The 
may  he  a  chance!" 

Her  boss  walked  over  to  her.  "We* 
exhibiting  in  a  big  fashion  show  in  Phil 
to-morrow,  and  you'll  have  to  go  dov 
there  and  model  our  gowns." 

Her  mouth  dropped  open.  "But — but 
can't.  I've — you  see — I've  an  audition  t 
morrow  and  I  can't  miss  it." 

Her  boss  looked  at  her  icily.  "Whom 
he  asked  with  polite  sarcasm,  "are  y< 
working  for?    Us,  or  the  radio  station 

That  set  the  spark  off.  In  a  flash,  Kat 
leen  saw  two  distinct  roads  before  her.  "I 
choose  radio,"  she  said  quietly.  "I'm  han 
ing  in  my  resignation  right  now.  I 
work  two  weeks  longer  to  finish  up.  Thai 
all." 

The  next  day,  after  the  audition,  Kat 
leen  was  beginning  to  regret  her  choic 
Van  Steeden  had  listened  to  her  witho 
showing  a  flicker  of  interest,  and  then  h; 
told  her :  "You'll  hear  from  me  later 

That  was  what  they  always  said  to  a 
ditioners  who  hadn't  made  good.  She  h; 
failed.  And  now  she  was  giving  up  t' 
job  she  had  held  for  five  years,  wi< 
nothing — absolutely  nothing  in  view  ! 

This  remorseful  feeling  carried  throu/ 
those  two  awful  weeks  when  she  was  fi 
ishing  up  her  work  at  the  dress  hou; 
She  was  crying  silently  on  the  last  d 
of  her  job  as  she  slipped  out  of  a  la 
gown  into  her  own  dress  and  was  pr] 
paring  to  leave.    Suddenly  the  phone  rai 

"For  you,  Kathleen." 

Well,  as  you  might  have  guessed,  it  u 
van  Steeden.  Life  is  sometimes  mi 
melodramatic  than  fiction.  Here  was  t 
hero  stepping  in  at  the  very  last  mini 
to  rescue  the  harassed  heroine!  If  | 
Steeden  had  phoned  five  minutes  later, 
might  never  have  been  able  to  get  in  tou 
with  Kathleen. 

As  it  was  though,  he  wanted  her  to  si 
with  his  orchestra  on  the  old  Jack  Pe; 
program.  You  may  have  remembered  tr 
show  last  year.  Kathleen  was  an  obscu 
member  of  the  program  with  no  billi 
at  all — but  it  was  a  radio  job! 

This  was  Cinderella's  first  taste  of  gla: 
our — but  the  clock  struck  twelve,  t 
program  went  off  the  air,  and  she  i 
turned  to  the  drab  hearthstone  and  t 
work-a-day  routine  of  looking  for  anoth 
job.  Back  to  the  studios  every  day  ar 
the  discouraging  try-outs. 

One  afternoon  she  was  called  back  f 
a  repeat  audition  given  by  some  mysterio 
sponsor.    Her  lagging  hopes  puffed  up  1 
a  balloon  at  the  call,  but  as  soon  as 
stepped  into  the  reception-room,  all  the 
whizzed  right  out  again.   For  sitting  the 
also  trying  out,  were  some  of  the  mi 
famous  girl  singers  in  radio.    Girls  wb 
names  you  all  know  but  which  I  shall 
reveal.    And  they  all  had  what  Kathle 
lacked — prestige,  background,  a  name  ai 
a  follozving.    For  the  first  time  in  her  li? 
I  think,  Kathleen  felt  like  running  oi 
But  instead,  she  sat  down,  nervously  ri| 
ped  a  perfectly  good  hankie  to  shreds  ai 
stared  blankly  into  space. 

After  she  sang  she  fled  from  the  stud.

though  she  were  escaping  some  ordeal, 
e  had  no  chance,  she  knew  that.  This 
io  business  was  too  disappointing.  Bet- 
go  back  to  modelling.    Always  steady 
rk  there.    There  was  no  glamour  in  it, 
then,  too,  there  were  no  heartaches, 
he  was  walking  the  streets  in  a  daze, 
found  that  by  force  of  habit  she  had 
Iked   right    into   Peter   van  Steedcn's 
ice. 

'Where've  you  been?"  Peter  yelled  ex- 
edly  when  he  saw  her.    "They've  been 
iking  for  you  since  you  left." 
'Wh-what?    Whom    are    you  talking 
out?" 

'Those  people  you  auditioned  for  this 
ernoon  want  you  for  their  show.  You 
Jked  out  without  waiting  for  an  an- 
er." 

That's  how  it  happened,  a  week  later, 
at  little  Kathleen  Wells  of  Jersey  City, 
aring  one  of  the  expensive  gowns  she 
;e  had  modelled,  walked  out  on  the  im- 
nse  stage  of  the  biggest  studio  in  the 
.rid  before  hundreds  of  admiring  folks, 
;1  sang  into  a  microphone  that  reached 
llions  of  other  people.  It  was  just  as 
always  had  dreamed.  She  was  taking 
place  with  Lanny  Ross,  Mary  Lou, 
nrad  Thibault — all  those  "biggies" 
om  she  always  had  envied — as  the  new 
r  lo  shine  on  "Showboat"  along  with 

There  was  only  one  thing  to  mar  the 
mentous  debut.  And  that  was  the  fact 
it  Dad  Wells  couldn't  be  there  to  wit- 
s  the  fact  that  his  little  Kathleen  had 
ally  "reached  out  and  got  just  what  she 
nted  in  life".  Just  as  he  used  to  tell 
r  to  do.  Dad  had  died  just  a  few  weeks 
fore  Kathleen  realized  his  greatest  am- 
ion.  The  End

then  she  played  her  symphony  for  him  .  .  .  the  symphony  into  which 
she  had  poured  her  very  heart,  the  mighty  cry  of  a  yearning  soul.

Here  is  one  proven  beauty-aid  that  works  the 
right  way  in  clearing  away  freckles,  blackheads, 
blemishes,  and  restoring  smooth,  clear,  lovely  skin. 
It  is  famous  NADINOLA  Cream,  tested  and  trusted 
for  nearly  two  generations.     All  you  do  is  this : 

(1)  At  bedtime  spread  a  thin  film  of  NADINOLA 
Cream  over  your  face — no  massaging,  no  rubbing. 

(2)  Leave  on  while  you  sleep.  (3)  Watch  daily 
improvement — usually  in  5  to  10  days  you  will  see 
a  marvelous  transformation.  Freckles,  blackheads 
disappear;  dull  coarsened  skin  becomes  creamy- 
white,  satin-smooth,  lovely!  Fine  results  positively 
guaranteed.  At  all  toilet  counters,  only  50c.  Or  write

RADIO  STARS 


The  Lovely  Gate  Crasher 


{Continued  from  page  8) 


When  she  returned  from  France,  where 
,e  had  driven  an  ambulance  during  the 

orld  War,  B.  B.  experienced  that  ter- 
ific  let-down  which  comes  with  the  end 
a  tremendous  undertaking.  She  must 
|ve  something  to  do  .  .  .  But  what? 
'ere  routine  office  work  was  not  enough, 
tst  earning   a  salary  was  not  enough. 

hat  was  there  that  would  take  all  that 
'e  had — and  more? 

;In  the  Brainard  apartment  in  East  Fifty- 
iventh  Street  are  three  immense  scrap- 
'oks.  They  are  filled  with  clippings, 
lotographs  and  documents,  recording  a 
;reer  that  is  synonymous  with  the  growth 
;  radio.  On  the  center  of  the  first  page 
[  the  first  book  is  a  yellowed  paragraph, 

pped  from  a  morning  newspaper  in  1921, 
Jiich  took  Bertha  Brainard  to  WJZ 
quest  of  a  career.  The  Westinghouse 
fctory.  according  to  the  paragraph,  was 
but  to  open  a  broadcasting  studio  in  its 

:wark  plant. 

|B.  B.  grabbed  her  hat  and  started  for 
?\vark.  "Radio  is  going  to  be  the  biggest 
ng  in  my  lifetime,"  she  told  herself, 
jve  got  to  get  in  on  the  ground  floor." 
'The  increased  sales  of  the  crystal  sets 
|d  warned  the  industry  that  to  keep 
;;ir  growing  audiences  interested  in  radio, 
'was  necessary  to  give  them  something 
;  listen  to !  Just  what  sort  of  material 
fey  wanted  to  broadcast,  no  one  seemed 
know.  Mr.  Charles  B.  Popenoe  was 
'.■en  the  task  of  arranging  programs  to 
|t  on  the  air.  It  was  to  Mr.  Popenoe 
pt  B.  B.  came  in  her  search  for  a  job. 
Jit  he  refused  to  see  her !  There  were, 
t  asserted,  no  jobs  for  women  in  this 
Isiness.  The  door  was  closed. 
iBm/  any  door  can  be  opened — if  you  are 
werniined! 

'Bertha  Brainard  went  again  to  see  Mr. 
Jpenoe,  this  time  representing  herself  as 
newspaper  women.  And  this  time  she 
fs  received! 

j'So,  you  see — "  B.  B.  laughs,  "I  really 
mded  my  whole  career  on  a  lie!" 
Ir.  Popenoe  showed  her  over  the  studio, 
plained   its   gadgets   and  microphones. 
1  B.  made  notes.  She  made  a  suggestion  : 
Radio  seems  to  me  a  good  deal  like  a 
»spaper  .  .  .   Wouldn't  you  like  me  to 
theatrical  column  for  you?  Bring 
ne  of  the  stars  over  to  broadcast?" 
'They   wouldn't   come."    Mr.  Popenoe 
(iked  suggestively  at  his  watch. 
'Suppose  I  find  out?"   And  B.  B.  left 
ore  he  could  say  no! 
^eywood  Broun,  she  thought,  would  give 
•  the  information  she  needed.  She  didn't 
J)W  Mr.  Broun,  but  his  friendly  helpful- 
;s  justified  her  confidence.  He  introduced 
to  the  theatrical  producer,  Lee  Shu- 
ft  And  Mr.  Shubert  arranged  for  her 
visit   his   productions   and  broadcast 
iews  over  WJZ. 

This  program  was  a  success.  Fans  wrote 
nplimentary  letters.   And  Mr.  Popenoe 

|s  pleased.  There  might,  he  considered, 
a  place  in  his  organization  for  this 
bitious  little  redhead.   He  made  B.  B. 

'  assistant  manager. 

-asting  about  for  more  and  better  pro- 
ems, B.  B.  hit  upon  a  new  idea.  It 


would  he  fun  to  broadcast  sport  events. 
Men  would  like  that.  "We  might,"  she 
suggested  to  her  doubtful  boss,  "persuade 
sports  writers  to  come  over  here  and  talk 
about  the  games."  And  the  following  week 
her  report  sheet  bore  this  note:  "Saiv 
Grantland  Rice  about  broadcasting  foot- 
ball talks.  Mr.  Rice  interested." 

And  later  reports  carried  the  names  of 
men  in  many  different  lines  of  interest, 
who  might  be  persuaded  to  broadcast.  It 
was  the  genesis  of  today's  radio  programs 
which  bring  us  the  fruits  of  every  activity 
of  man,  from  every  corner  of  earth,  of 
air,  of  sea.  News,  politics,  science,  art, 
religion,  music,  sports,  plays.  And  all 
from  the  small  seed  sown  by  a  woman 
who  "had  no  place  in  the  business." 

Better  radios  were  developed.  Loud- 
speakers replaced  ear-phones.  And  WJZ 
opened  its  first  New  York  studio  in  the 
Waldorf  Astoria.  Remember  the  dinner 
music  from  the  Rose  Room  of  that  hotel? 
Broadcasters  were  easier  to  persuade  now. 
And  soon  the  quarters  in  the  Waldorf 
became  too  restricted.  Another  move  was 
made,  to  Aeolian  Hall  on  Forty-second 
Street.  And  there  B.  B.  had  her  first 
personal  office — a  tiny  cubby-hole  off  the 
reception  room. 

At  Aeolian  Hall  B.  B.  gave  radio's 
first  dramatic  broadcasts.  They  were  di- 
rected by  Colonel  Davis  of  the  British 
Army,  who,  in  his  day,  made  radio  history. 
Miss  Brainard  realized  the  need  for  a 
house  orchestra,  and  engaged  a  string 
ensemble  for  the  station's  musical  back- 
ground. At  this  time  the  first  full  hour's 
program  was  created  and  broadcast.  It 
was  called  "Conquistadors" — remember  it? 

Another  illustration  of  the  soundness  of 
Miss  Brainard's  judgment  was  her  cham- 
pionship of  a  program  that  for  many  years 
has  been  the  delight  and  solace  of  thou- 
sands of  women — the  Cheerio  broadcast. 
Turned  down  by  WEAF.  to  whom  he  first 
tried  to  sell  the  idea  of  broadcasting  the 
cheer  he  brought  each  day  to  his  invalid 
mother,  he  came  to  WJZ.  B.  B.  saw  at 
once  the  value  of  such  a  broadcast.  As  one 
friend  to  another,  she  telephoned  WEAF 
and  suggested  that  they  give  him  further 
consideration.  He  was  put  on  the  air, 
and  proved  the  wisdom  of  her  advice  by 
building  a  following  which  never  has  been 
exceeded  in  a  morning  broadcast. 

When  WEAF  and  WJZ  were  amalga- 
mated, moving  into  their  own  building 
at  711  Fifth  Avenue,  gossips  of  radio  row- 
predicted  that  now  B.  B.  would  be  out  of 
a  job.  It  was  inconceivable  that  a  woman 
could  head  the  program  department  of 
the  combined  stations.  B.  B.  herself  ma 
somewhat  worried.  Day  and  night  since 
WJZ  first  lifted  its  feeble  voice  from  the 
roof  of  the  Newark  factory,  she  had 
worked  and  fought  to  lay  the  foundations 
of  progress.  Would  she  herself  now  be 
swept  aside,  in  the  growing  prosperity  of 
radio?  The  mahogany  door  of  her  impos- 
ing office  in  the  Fifth  Avenue  studio  was 
lettered:  "B.  Brainard,  Program  Manager" 
Would  another  name  be  substituted  there? 
But  B.  B  was  too  busy  to  be  concerned.

to  welcome.  A 
powder  made  on  a 
very  different  kind 
of  base,  so  fine,  so  sofr,  this  powder  hugs  the  skin  as 
though  actually  a  part  of  it.  Try  it.  Sec  fur  yourself,  if 
ever  you  knew  a  powder  to  stay  on  so  long  .  .  .  and 
smooth  all  the  while  it  stays.  There's  another  thrill  in  it 
too!  The  fineness  that  lets  Savage  cling  so  endlessly,  also 
makes  the  skin  appear  more  truly  porctess,  smoother, 
more  inviting  to  the  eyes.  And  the  thrill  that  there 
is  in  touching  a  Savage  powdered  skin  could  be  told

RADIO  STARS 


(Continued 

In  the  new  quarters  in  Radio  City  there 
is  another  imposing  office.  Another  door. 
And  the  name  on  it  is  the  same.  The  office 
is  larger.  Its  furnishings  more  handsome. 
But  the  woman  who  sits  behind  the  big 
desk  is  in  all  essentials  the  same  little 
redhead  who,  'way  back  in  1921,  began 
moulding  the  destinies  of  WJZ.  And  when 
she  looks  out  through  the  window  at  the 
thrilling  skyline  of  her  city,  B.  B.  is 
dreaming  of  a  still  finer  radio.  Planning 
how  to  make  the  dream  come  true. 

Asked  to  what  qualities  she  attributes 
her  advancement  in  a  field  supposedly 
closed  to  women,  B.  B.  says  it  may  be 
because  she  never  thinks  of  herself  as  a 
woman.  "Often,  in  business,  women  seek 
some  special  consideration.  Try  to  get  it 
by  being  coy.  Men  hate  that.  But  because 
I  never  stop  to  think  that  I'm  a  woman, 
they  don't  think  about  it,  either.   And  we 


front  page  91) 

thresh  out  our  problems,  man  to  man." 

Apart  from  that  wise  and  tactful  elim- 
ination of  sex,  another  quality  has  helped 
to  put  and  keep  B.  B.  where  she  is— the 
fact  that  she  has  so  identified  herself  with 
radio  and  radio  fans  that  she  knows  unerr- 
ingly what  Mr.  and  Mrs.  America  want  to 
hear  when  they  tune  in  their  radios.  She 
knows  your  tastes  and  preferences,  and 
mine.  And,  her  hand  on  the  pulse  of  pub- 
lic reaction,  she  is  constantly  checking  on 
all  sorts  of  shows  and  radio  acts,  to  dis- 
cover new  novelties  for  radio  broadcasting. 

So  now  we  know  how  Bertha  Brainard 
did  it  .  .  .  It  didn't  take  very  much.  Only 
the  best  years  of  her  life.  Only  intense 
concentration,  to  the  exclusion  of  most  of 
the  popular  pleasures  of  youth.  Only  intel- 
ligence and  hard  work— and  all  she  had  to 
give. 

The  End 


How  to  be  Single,  Though  Married 


(Continued  from  f>at/e  35) 


To  Elsie  quarrels  are  unimportant.  They 
are  the  normal  squeaks  and  creaks  of  two 
people  getting  adjusted  to  life  together. 
Some  sqeak  more — some  less.  Beware, 
she  warns,  the  marriage  that  is  without 
them.  Beneath  the  home  that  is  totally 
without  conflict,  is  a  morass  of  secret, 
suppressed  hatreds. 

Once  upon  a  time  Elsie  and  Jack  used 
to  spat  about  the  latter's  habit  of  being 
late.  Elsie,  theatre-bred,  was  always 
prompt.  But  Jack,  with  no  sense  of  time, 
would  wander  to  the  appointment  with 
her,  twenty,  thirty,  forty  minutes  late. 

Was  Elsie  mad?  She  boiled,  broiled 
and  fried  him  with  her  tongue.  And  still 
he  came  late.  It  took  time  and  a  lot  of 
scolding  but  finally  he  caught  on.  He 
could  be  late  to  the  White  House,  with 
whomever  else  he  pleased — but  he  could 
not  be  late  with  Mrs.  Welch. 

And  then  there  was  the  quarrel  about 
the  unwashed  car.  Jack  didn't  mind  daubs 
of  mud,  but  Elsie  did.  She  suggested  he 
have  the  car  washed.  He  agreed  but  for- 
got. Elsie  reminded  him  but  he  forgot 
again.  And  again.  Until — the  explosion  ! 
P.  S.  The  car  i^as  washed! 

Recently  there  have  been  words  about 
football  games.  Jack,  a  Princeton  man  and 
gridiron  rooter  of  the  dyed-in-wool  variety, 
never  misses  a  game.  Elsie  is  so-so  about 
football.  And  on  wintry  days  she  is  em- 
phatically no-no!  She  has  her  voice  to 
think  of — and  four  hours  in  the  cheering 
section,  exposed  to  wet  and  cold,  would 
tie  knots  in  her  vocal  cords.  Where  would 
we  be  then? 

So,  she  has  often  refused  to  accompany 
Jack.  And  usually  Jack  has  gone  off  in 
a  huff.  Oh,  he  comes  back  cheerful 
enough,  a  little  bit  too  cheerful  and  too 
late  to  suit  Elsie.  And  Elsie,  who  like 
any  normal  woman  worries  and  thinks  of 
automobile  accidents,  gets  angry  and  is 
a  little  stiff— but  it's  all  over  by  the  time 
they  crawl  into  bed. 

Quarrels  in  this  household  are  like  ciga- 
rettes. Once  they  have  burned  out,  they 
are  forgotten.  At  nine-thirty  Elsie  and 
Jack  will  have  hammer  and  tongs  over 
something.    At  nine-thirty-five  a  question 


from  Elsie  will  bring  a  sincere  "dear" 
from  Jack.  As  if  nothing  had  happened. 
Sweet  folks,  these,  who  have  their  roles, 
their  code,  their  sense  of  humor  and  their 
willingness  to  treat  the  marriage  partner 
as  a  human  being. 

3.  Trust  him.  If  you  do,  he'll  trust  you. 
Enough  said.  Distrust  is  the  rock  on  which 
all  married  folks  should  build  a  lighthouse, 
hang  a  bell  and  wind  a  siren.  It's  the 
meanest,  toughest  reef  in  the  whole  matri- 
monial ocean.  All  of  which  means — be 
honest.  Don't  lie  to  your  husband.  Lies, 
white  or  black,  have  no  place  in  this  man- 
woman  enterprise. 

It  took  Jack  a  long  time  to  learn  to 
understand  his  wife.  You  must  remember 
that  he  is  a  business  man  and  she  is  an 
actress.  From  the  beginning  she  upset  him 
by  doing  things  which  he,  a  proper  Wall 
Street  broker,  considered  it  improper  for 
his  wife  to  do.  What  bothered  him  most 
was  her  going  out  with  other  men. 

Elsie,  on  the  other  hand,  made  no  bones 
about  it :  her  conscience  was  always  clear. 
To  her  it  was  part  of  her  job,  meeting  and 
dining  with  her  fellow  actors,  her  director, 
her  agent,  the  reporters  who  came  for  in- 
terviews. 

Jack's  attitude  started  a  series  of  quar- 
rels which  ranged  from  those  in  which 
they  both  stood  and  shrieked  at  each  other 
to  those  in  which  Elsie,  speechless  witli 
indignation,  slammed  the  door  and  went 
for  a  walk  around  the  block.  They  fought 
back  and  forth  for  years. 

Having  no  consciousness  of  guilt  and 
knowing  that  all  she  did  was  innocent. 
Elsie  refused  to  give  up  these  simple  cour- 
tesies so  essential  to  her  career.  She  knew, 
with  a  wisdom  gathered  from  experience 
and  the  observation  of  four  married  sisters, 
that  her  independence  would  be  gone,  once 
she  surrendered. 

Overnight,  it  seemed.  Jack  discovered 
that  her  dates  with  other  men  meant 
nothing  in  her  life.  That  he  was  the  man 
she  loved.  His  sense  of  humor  asserted 
itself.  Now  he  worries  not  at  all.  He 
has  definitely  slain  and  buried  the  green- 
eyed  monster.

Why  he  even  kids  Elsie  when  she  gets 
what  she  descrihes  as  a  "crush"  on  some 
man.   He  knows  that  these  things  are  brief, 
~4  .that  any  opposition  on  his  part  would  only 
prolong  them.     And  this  enlightened  at- 
titude on  the  part  of  the  husband  and  the 
square  dealing  on  the  part  of  the  wife 
has  made  it  one  of  most  successful  of  all 
theatrical  marriages,  notorious   for  their 
ll  (brevity.    A  Hollywood  marriage,  statistics 
'  I  ;>ay,  never  lasts  more  than  five  years. 

Elsie  believes  that  every  woman  is  a 
jlirt  and  unless  she  is  allowed  to  exercise 
:  Irchis  instinct  she  will  be  unhappy.  The 
instinct  does   not  die,   simply  because  a 
|i  [woman  wears  a  wedding  ring.     If  any- 
I-.    Lhing,  flirtation  endears  her  husband  to  a 
■  t.  woman.    And  so  she  believes  that  a  little 
.  ■Innocent  variety  is  the  spice — and  a  good 
r  I  hart  of  the  art  of  how  to  be  single  though 
ved. 

4.  And  finally,  take  vacations  from  your 
iisband.  Go  away  now  and  then,  for  good- 
ess  sake.  Give  him  a  rest,  give  yourself 
rest.  You  know  how  it  is  when  you 
ome  home  from  a  vacation.  You  are  re- 
reshed,  you  are  eager.  You  see  with 
ew  eyes  the  city  you  live  in,  the  office  you 
'ork  in,  the  man  you  love.  Everything 
oks  better.  You  live  better,  work  better, 
ove  better. 

Our  Elsie  learned  the  secret  early.  She 
vas  playing  in  stock  in  St.  Louis  when 
ack,  to  whom  she  was  then  engaged, 
•assed  through  the  city  on  business.  The 
redding  was  scheduled  to  take  place  the 
ollowing  month.  But  they  were  kids 
nd  head  over  heels  in  love  so  they  wrent 
o  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  and  were  mar- 
ied  then  and  there.  The  next  morning 
ack  left  town  and  his  bride  did  not 
ee  him  for  three  weeks ! 
The  lesson  she  learned  then,  she  has 


from  page  93) 

never  forgotten.  Between  programs,  Elsie 
packs  up  and  goes  off  for  a  month's  vaca- 
tion, alone.  Sometimes,  she  confesses,  it 
is  all  she  can  do  to  tear  herself  away  from 
Jack  and  she  goes  only  because  she  think* 
it  is  a  good  idea  for  them  to  be  separated 
for  a  time.  Sometimes  she  is  a  little  fed 
up  and  glad  to  go. 

Jack,  on  the  other  hand,  also  goes  off 
— but  his  trips  are  business  trips  which  he 
would  take  in  any  case. 

Their  absences  from  each  other  never 
exceed  four  weeks — and  when  they  are 
over,  my,  how  glad  they  are !  The  pleasure 
they  get  from  seeing  each  other  again  is 
ample  reward  for  the  suffering  of  separa- 
tion. 

Four  rules  and  they're  enough.  They 
are  the  tablets  Elsie  Hitz  has  brought 
down  to  you  from  the  Mt.  Sinai  of  her 
perfect  marriage.  And  if  they  have  worked 
for  her,  they  should  for  you  because  she 
came  into  the  world  with  temper,  tempera- 
ment, a  nervous  disposition  and  a  gang  of 
sisters  who  were  none  too  successful  with 
their  married  lives. 

Nor  is  she  conventionally  beautiful,  Mrs. 
Elsie  Hitz  Welch — and  she  pays  far  more 
attention  to  her  voice  than  to  make-up. 
Except  for  the  mink  coat,  you  might  pass 
her  in  the  street  without  looking  back.  Yet, 
there  she  goes — a  strong  will  in  her  body, 
a  brain  behind  those  remarkable  eyes  of 
hers,  and  the  good  common  sense  which 
enables  her  to  accept  the  failings  and  foi- 
bles of  the  man  she  loves  and  insist  on  hav- 
ing her  own  way  in  all  matters  that  do  not 
conflict  with  his  interest.  A  happy  wo- 
man because  she  has  her  cake  and  eats  it ; 
she  has  remained  single  while  enjoying  the 
profound  pleasures  of  married  life.

Wives  Don't  Have  to  Obey 

(Continued  from  page  47) 


boms  on  Sands  Point,  Long  Island.  She 
[ad  fourteen  servants  at  her  command 
here.  If  she  felt  so  inclined,  she  could 
gnal  the  yacht  that  lay  at  anchor  in  the 
ay  nearby,  and  go  for  a  cruise.  She  spent 
|er  winters  in  a  great  duplex  apartment 
|i  New  York  City. 

[  With  cheerful  unconcern,  never  dream- 
Ikg  they  were  riding  for  a  fall,  Cobina  and 
fill  Wright  spent  between  seventy-five 
nd  ninety  thousand  dollars  a  year,  living 
ell,  entertaining  lavishly. 
I  Cobina.  for  instance,  tired  of  the  usual 
bstume  balls  society  women  gave.  She 
[anted  something  that  would  quicken  the 
iilses  of  the  sophisticated.  So  she  origi- 
ited  the  annual  Circus  Ball,  to  which  the 
pests  came  as  clowns,  snake  charmers  and 
|en  as  lions,  as  Dr.  Walter  Damrosch  did 
|h  one  occasion.  Cobina  thought  nothing 
L  spending  from  ten  to  fifteen  thousand 
illars  for  one  of  those  balls.  They  in- 
rantly  became  a  serious  rival  of  New 
fork's  most  famous  social  affair  of  the 
kar — the  Beaux  Arts  balls. 
'  The  first  upward  sweep  of  stocks  in 
''29  intoxicated  the  Wrights,  unsuspicious 
\  the  tragedy  which  lay  before  them.  Sud- 
■  nly  her  husband's  business  blew  to  bits. 
:  ( is  fortune  was  shattered  as  the  stocks 


plunged  down.  Desperately  she  flung  her 
money  into  the  breach.  But  in  the  effort 
to  save  everything,  her  own  stocks  were 
swept  before  the  ill-wind  which  howled 
down  Wall  Street  that  year. 

It  hurt  to  have  to  give  up  those  beautiful 
homes,  their  yacht.  They  couldn't  believe 
that  their  fortunes  had  really  gone,  that 
they  wouldn't  recover  them  soon.  Cobina 
fought  hard  to  maintain  their  former  po- 
sition. 

She  had  managed  to  hang  on  to  the  Sut- 
ton Place  apartment.  But  their  last  money 
was  fast  disappearing.  She  had  one  hope 
for  something  to  tide  them  over  and  that 
was  to  run  a  night  club,  a  private  and  ex- 
clusive one.  She  invited  friends  of  hers 
to  join — Mrs.  Vanderbilt.  Mrs.  Gould,  Nod 
Coward,  Cole  Porter,  George  Gershwin 
and  other  celebrities  of  her  acquaintance. 

The  left-outers  spat  bitter  criticism  at 
her.  "Imagine,"'  they  cried  nastily.  "Co- 
hina's  making  her  guests  pay !"  They 
thought  they  were  humiliating  Mrs. 
Wright. 

But  they  didn't  know  their  Cobina.  If 
they  had,  they  wouldn't  have  trundled  out 
their  I-told-you-so's  when  she  and  Bill 
parted.

WISDOM 

BEFORE  SLUMBER 

When  the  pangs  of  lumber  assail 

you  after  the  party's  over  ...  be 
canny.  Have  a  bowl  of  Kellogg"- 
Corn  Flakes  in  milk  or  cream. 

They're  crisp,  cool,  refreshing, 
satisfying.  They  waft  you  off  to 
slumber  gently.  And  let  you  sleep 
so  that  you'll  feel  chipper  next 
morning. 

Sold  by  all  grocers.  Served  in 
restaurants  and  hotels.  Made  by 
Kellogg  in  Battle  Creek.

{Continued  fr 

How  would  you  have  reacted,  after  hav- 
ing fought  side-by-side  with  your  husband, 
a  losing  battle  to  save  a  fortune,  to  find 
that  he  no  longer  was  interested  in  you. 
to  hear  his  words  ringing  in  your  ears,  de- 
manding that  you  do  this  impossible  thing, 
that  you  attempt  that  impossible  undertak- 
ing? How  would  you  react  if.  in  the  back 
of  your  mind,  there  was  the  suspicion  that 
he  had  definitely  committed  himself  to  an- 
other woman?  Would  you  still  love,  hon- 
or and  obey? 

Cobina's  friends  began  to  look  upon  her 
with  condescending  sympathy.  "Tsk,  Isk," 
they  said.  "She's  losing  everything!  All 
she'll  have  left  is  her  daughter  and  Heaven 
knows  how  she'll  support  her!" 

Her  filing  of  a  suit  for  divorce  very 
plainly  showed  what  Cobina  was  going  to 
do  as  far  as  her  husband  was  concerned. 
She  knew  she  had  to  start  life  over  again 
and  she  wanted  to  do  it  with  the  slate 
clean.  But  it  just  made  more  juicy  mor- 
sels for  the  gossips.  Eagerly  they  devoured 
the  newspaper  reports  that  she  had  made 
a  gay  party  of  a  raid  on  the  apartment  of 
a  manicurist.  Myrtle  Gardner,  where,  she 
asserted,  her  husband  was  found. 

"Party?"  she  cried  bitterly  when  she 
heard  the  reports.  "The  raid  was  made  by 
my  attorneys.  I  wouldn't  do  that  sort  of 
thing." 

Cobina  was  denied  the  divorce.  She  as- 
serted her  husband  had  evaded  service  of 
a  court  summons  by  disguising  himself  as 
a  cowboy  and  boarding  a  train  for  New 
Mexico.  Then  the  newspapers  published  a 
story  which  thrust  even  more  deeply  at 
her  pride.  Her  husband  had  divorced  her. 
Soon  afterward  came  word  that  he  had 
gone  to  Maine  and  there  married  the  girl 
in  whose  apartment  he  was  said  to  have 
been  found  at  the  time  of  the  raid. 

But  Cobina  Wright  had  no  time  for  any 
prolonged  bitterness.  She  had  a  living  to 
make,  a  daughter  to  support.  She  hit  high 
and  hard,  this  gallant  woman.  She  leased 
the  great  steamship  Leviathan  from  the 
United  States  Government.  She  negotiated 
with  the  City  of  Xew  York  for  it  to  be 
docked  at  a  Hudson  River  pier.  She  com- 
pleted elaborate  plans  to  turn  it  into  a  rec- 
reation center  for  Xew  Yorkers  and  run 
it  at  a  profit  to  the  city,  the  government 
and  herself. 


om  page  95) 

Life  had  another  below-the-belt  blow 
ready  for  her.  The  moment  everything  was 
arranged  she  fell  seriously  ill  from  com- 
plications of  an  injury  she  had  received 
while  frolicking  with  her  youngster.  By 
the  time  she  had  recovered.  Xew  York 
City  had  had  an  election  and  the  City 
Hall  had  changed  hands. 

Cobina  had  to  make  money  right  away. 
There  was  no  time  for  her  to  go  through 
intricate  political  negotiations  for  the 
dock  all  over  again  with  the  new  city  ad- 
ministration. 

She  determined  to  try  radio.  She  had 
talents.  There  was  lots  of  money  being 
spent  by  broadcasters.  But  the  network 
flatly  turned  down  her  program  idea  of 
song  and  talk. 

Her  situation  was  growing  more  and 
more  desperate.  What,  she  asked  herself, 
did  women  do  when  they  had  to  make 
money  and  their  talents  weren't  wanted? 

Ludicrously  enough,  a  recipe  for  honey- 
cinnamon  toast  she  had  invented  popped 
into  her  mind.  People  could  be  made  to 
pay  for  that  toast.  A  tea  shop  on  Long 
Island — the  very  thing! 

Cobina  never  went  through  with  it.  Xot 
because  she  couldn't  or  wouldn't,  but  be- 
cause the  very  network  executives  who 
had  rejected  her  idea,  had  suddenly  re- 
alized the  vast  number  of  social,  literary 
and  artistic  celebrities  she  numbered  among 
her  friends.  They  gave  her  a  small  net- 
work to  experiment  with  in  presenting  such 
of  them  as  Prince  Matchabelli.  Howard 
Chandler  Christy,  William  Rose  Benet, 
Don  Marquis. 

The  idea  caught  the  fancy  of  the  after- 
noon audience  quickly.  Xow  her  program 
charms  a  nation  through  a  coast-to-coast 
chain.  I  want  to  tell  you  one  more  thing 
about  Cobina.  Recently  she  became  very 
ill  from  a  sinus  infection.  Day  after  day 
she  was  tortured  by  nerve-shattering  pain. 
Her  temperature  went  up  to  102  and  stayed 
there.  With  that  temperature,  she  went 
on  the  air  and  to  you  and  me  she  sounded 
gay  as  ever. 

That's  Cobina  Wright — ever  coura- 
geous. That's  the  woman  who  wasn't  afraid 
to  face  the  world  without  her  husband, 
who  turned  a  deaf  ear  to  ridicule.  That's 
Cobina  Wright,  valiant  lady  of  radio.

of  my  affair,  but  I'd  like  to  know  if  Elsie 
Hitz  and  Xick  Dawson  of  "Dangerous 
Paradise"  are  really  married  to  each 
other. 

Uncle:  Sorry  to  shatter  your  illusions. 
Hortense.  They're  married  all  right,  but 
not  to  each  other. 

Hort :  Oh,  well !  Do  you  suppose  I'd 
stand  a  chance  with  Jerry  Cooper?  I  do 
so  adore  his  voice ! 

Uncle:  You  might  stand  a  ghost  of  a 
chance.  That's  a  hot  one!  Jerry's  not 
married.  And  as  long  as  you  seem  so  in- 
terested. I'll  tell  you  more  about  him.  His 
summer  air  schedule  will  probably  be 
"Roadways  of  Romance"  on  Sunday  eve- 
nings from  seven  to  eight,  and  his  own 
program  Tuesday  evenings  from  7 :30  to 


7  :45.  both  on  CBS  networks.  Xow  Jerry, 
as  you  probably  don't  know,  comes  from 
Xew  Orleans,  Louisiana,  where  he  was 
born  in  1907  on  the  third  day  of  April. 
Before  he  made  his  radio  debut  in  that  city 
in  1930,  he  was  a  night  club  entertainer 
there,  and  before  that,  a  bank  clerk.  Jerry 
is  five  feet  eleven  inches  tall,  weighs  one 
hundred  and  sixty-five  pounds,  has  blue 
eyes  and  brown  hair.  He  says  he  likes 
beautiful  women  of  about  twenty. 

Hort:  Ah  me!  And  I'm  only  a  ghost! 
Well.  let's  get  back  to  the  letters.  There 
seem  to  be  quite  a  few  here  who  want  tb 
know  about  Glen  Gray,  leader  of  the 
Casa  Loma  orchestra. 

Uncle:  All  right,  we'll  tell  'em.  Glen's

When  men  saw  Steen  McDowell's  eyes, 
they  remembered  another  man  whose 
eyes  had  had  that  light,  a  threatening 
ice-fire  look  that  had  made  them  speak 
of  the  "spell  of  the  wolf."  They  won- 
dered who  he  was,  this  stranger  who 
threw  the  fear  of  God  into  hard-bitten 
gun-slingers.  Something  uncanny  about 
him  made  even  the  boldest  braggarts 
among  them  flinch.  A  fascinating  Western 
novel  by  L.  P.  Holmes.

The  Foreign  Legion,  in  "Hostage  to 
Death,"  exacts  full  pay  for  an  officer's 
mistake  by  sending  him  into  "Suicide  Sec-

Bill  Reilly,  resourceful,  gallant  legion- 
naire, goes  into  the  enemy's  country  as 
a  renegade,  a  derelict  of  the  Legion.  It's 
the  loneliest,  deadliest  road  a  legionnaire 
can  go— Lieutenant  Reilly '  s  road  in  L. 
Ron  Hubbard's  superb  adventure  novel, 
"Hostage  to  Death."

Here's  an  unusually  colorful  story,  one 
unlike  any  we  have  had  in  a  long  time 
— "The  Bulls  of  Pundonor."  It's  bull- 
fighting, of  course — but  more  than  that, 
it's  Rod  Gale's  extraordinary  experiences 
on  an  island  where  the  bullfighter,  how- 
ever villainous,  is  the  hero,  and  an  Amer- 
ican Secret  Service  Agent  who  wants  him 
has  to  work  against  amazing  odds.  A 
fascinating  adventure  romance  by  a 
writer  of  unusual  gifts,  Caroline  Dawes 
Appleton. 


Fishing — fishing  for  marlin  or  tuna — was 
Micky  Dwyer's  life  until  he  ran  into  an 
odd  experience  aboard  the  Berkeleys'

different  adventu.e  in  the  search  for  a 
galleon  of  gold  long  lost  in  tropical 
waters.  "Galleon  Gold"  is  John  Murray 
Reynolds'  story — sport  and  adventure  to-

shouting,  for  publication:  "The  micro- 
phones should  be  disinfected  each  time 
they're  used  I"  should  know  this :  Vaughn 
DeLeath,  who  is  one  of  the  air  pioneers, 
insists  that  a  piano  keyboard  be  washed 
before  she  will  touch  it.  And  it's  not  a 
gag,  either. 

SUCH  A  BUSINESS 

There  have  been  some  famous  radio 
feuds — Rudy  Vallee  and  Will  Osborne, 
Al  Jolson  and  Walter  Winchell,  Eddie 
Cantor  and  Georgie  Jessell,  Fred  Waring 
and  the  last  person  who  he  thinks  has 
stolen  one  of  his  ideas — but  maybe  this 
item  will  prevent  another  from  being 
added  to  the  long  list.  I  hope  so — be- 
cause Richard  Himber  and  Joey  Nash 
shouldn't  go  around  glaring  at  each 
other. 

They  were  friends  once.  Now,  because 
there  is  something  he  doesn't  know,  Joey 
is  suing  Dick.    It's  too  bad. 

Does  he  know,  for  instance,  that  when 
he  first  began  to  sing  with  Himber's  or- 
chestra, the  National  Broadcasting  Com- 
pany demanded  that  he  be  taken  off?  .  .  . 
and  that  Dick  defied  the  officials? 

He  knows  that  the  sponsors  of  Him- 
ber's commercial  program  first  objected 
to  him  when  a  columnist  pointed  out  his 
name  was  that  of  a  rival  motor  car — 
which  shows  the  goofiness  of  some  spon- 
sors. But  does  he  know  that  Dick  fought 
the  president  of  the  motor  car  company 
for  a  long  time  before  he  reluctantly  de- 
cided to  dispense  with  Joey's  voice?  And 
that  Dick's  action  was  prompted  by  a  let- 
ter that  said,  in  part,  that  the  president, 
disliking  both  Nash's  name  and  his  voice, 
refused  to  be  flouted  any  longer  and  that 
either  Nash  left  or  a  new  band  came  in? 


Filially,  does  Joey  know  he  could  have 
prevented  it  all  had  he  changed  his  name 
when  they  first  asked  him  to? 

Well,  it's  true.  I've  seen  the  letter. 
And  I  hope  Joey  reads  this. 

TURNABOUT 

Among  radio's  little  oddities  is  the  way 
in  which  so  many  careers  have  shaped 
themselves.  And  from  what  humble  be- 
ginnings. Frank  Parker  was  a  chorus 
boy,  Richard  Bonelli  did  anything  he 
could  get  to  do,  even  dishwashing ;  Ed- 
win C.  Hill  was  a  newspaper  man — but 
this  one  tops  them  all :  John  Charles 
Thomas,  the  great  baritone,  and  Al  Good- 
man, the  ork  leader,  both  studied  on 
scholarships  at  the  same  conservatory  in 
Baltimore.  But  Thomas  studied  orchestra- 
tion and  Goodman  studied  voice! 

REHEARSAL  RENDEZVOUS 

You  and  I  are  in  one  of  the  big  studios 
on  the  eighth  floor  of  Radio  City.  The 
rows  of  seats,  to  be  occupied  in  the  eve- 
ning by  many  people,  are  empty— but  the 
stage  is  full.  Helen  Jepson,  gorgeous 
blonde  diva,  is  rehearsing  with  Paul  White- 
man,  who  has  regained  a  little  of  his  lost 
tonnage.  Miss  Jepson  is  singing  one  bar 
where  she  must  send  her  voice  very  quick- 
ly to  its  top-most  note.  She  tries  once, 
twice ;  then  she  frowns  at  Paul,  who  grins. 
Finally  she  steps  away  from  the  micro- 
phone and  screams  at  the  top  of  her  voice. 
When  she  tries  again,  the  note  is  reached 
— sweetly,  and  on  the  nose. 
•  •  •  Now  we're  in  one  of  the  Columbia 
theaters  off  Times  Square.  It  is  past 
midnight  and  Charles  Winninger  is  re- 
hearsing for  his  Saturday  evening  broad- 
cast.   He  limps  as  he  crosses  the  stage

RADIO  STARS 


(the  limp  is  the  result  of  a  fall  while  doing 
a  comic  scene  with  Libby  Holman  in  "Re- 
venge With  Music")  and,  with  the  script 
held  low  so  he  can  read  it,  makes  his 
usual  remarks  about  the  rapidity  with 
which  the  characters  in  the  program  fall 
in  love.  Which  is  funny  to  us — because  we 
have  heard  that  two  of  the  cast,  Robert 
Simmons  and  Patti  Pickens,  are  really 
holding  hands. 

•  •  •  We  watch  the  death  in  the  studios! 

Sidney  Ellstrom,  dramatic  star  with  the 
NBC  studios  in  Chicago,  is  standing  be- 
fore the  microphone,  reading  a  script.  Sud- 
denly, he  tears  at  his  throat  and  sinks  to 
the  floor.  For  a  full  minute,  his  screams 
and  curses  fill  the  air  from  coast  to  coast. 
The  mike  is  open! 

But  we  aren't  surprised.  We  expected 
him  to  die  in  all  the  agony  a  diabolic  mind 
call  conceive — since  he's  been  doing  it 
every  Wednesday  night  on  the  "Lights 
Out"  horror  drama.  To  make  our  hair 
curl,  Sidney  has  been  skinned  alive,  boiled 
in  oil,  devoured  by  man-eating  plants. 
Hogged  to  death  with  wire  fencing,  and 
strangled  by  a  vampire.  He  has  had  his 
eyes  plucked  from  his  head  and  his  tongue 
ripped  out.  He  has  been  drowned,  electro- 
cuted, buried  alive,  decapitated  and  dis- 
membered. 
He  has,  also,  never  been  seriously  ill. 

FUNNY  FELLOWS 

The  comedians  who  set  you  laughing  are 
a  sober  lot,  so  announcers  and  play  actors 
supply  the  gags  in  the  studios.  Harry 
Von  Zell,  my  candidate  for  the  announ- 
ers'  diction  award,  is  one  of  the  few  who 
:an  clown  without  spectators  calling  him, 
under  their  breath,  a  big-headed  exhibition- 
st.    It  is  sheer  exuberance  that  makes 


Harry  lead  Glen  Gray's  orchestra  in  re- 
hearsal with  a  long  piece  of  flexible  rub- 
ber tubing — and  it's  funny,  too.  There 
are  two  more  in  radio  with  his  power.  They 
are  Ted  Husing  and  Beatrice  Lillie.  But 
their  clowning  is  not  so  consistently  funny 
as  his. 

WHAT'S  THIS? 

Countess  Olga  Albani,  the  titled  lady 
who  sings,  is  looking  back  over  her  scripts. 
There  was  a  fan  who  rushed  up  to  her 
after  one  of  her  Silken  Strings  broadcasts 
and  demanded  her  autograph — on  a  dollar 
bill.  Not  two  weeks  later,  a  cab  driver 
gave  her  the  same  bill  in  some  change. 
Now  she  wonders  if  it  had  been  something 
she  sang  or  something  he  ate  that  caused 
the  fan  to  part  with  the  memento. 

FRIEND  OF  MAN 

Alexander  Woollcott,  who  tells  those 
phrase-heavy  anecdotes  about  his  famous 
friends,  really  doesn't  like  anyone  unless 
her  name  is  Dorothy  Parker.  Although  he 
is  godfather  to  some  fifteen  children,  he  is 
extremely  hard  to  know,  and  of  the  entire 
Columbia  personnel,  only  Don  Ball  has 
crashed  the  select  circle  of  bowing  ac- 
quaintances. 

EDDIE  SHOWED  'EM 

Erna  Phillips,  who  writes  "Today's 
Children,"  also  turns  out  the  wordage  on 
Eddie  Guest's  show,  "Welcome  Valley." 
Recently,  she  inserted  a  verse  about  love, 
by  another  writer,  because  none  of  Guests's 
ditties  seemed  to  fit  the  mood.  But  Eddie 
decided  he  wanted  no  one's  poetry  but  his 
own  on  the  show  and  rhymed  up  a  little 
thing  to  take  its  place.  It's  the  first  time 
he  ever  has  trafficked  in  hearts.

Here  Are  the  Answers 


(Continued  from  [>agc  97) 


lull  name  is  Glen  Gray  Knoblauch.  He 
vas  born  June  7th,  1903,  in  Metamora, 
Illinois.  He  went  to  school  in  Roanoke, 
Illinois,  and  in  1918  was  a  member  of 
he  S.  A.  T.  C.  in  Ohio  Wesleyan.  He 
nade  his  professional  debut  at  sixteen, 
s  piccolo  player  with  Roanoke's  concert 
and.    He  still  plays  the  piccolo  when  no- 

dy's  around.  After  that  he  was  solo 
larinetist    with    the    Detroit  Symphony 

rchestra  and  then  he  organized  the  Casa 
ma  group,  going  on  the  air  for  the  first 
ime  from  the  Graystone  Ballroom  in  De- 
roit.  Glen  is  six  feet  three  and  one- 
lalf  inches  tall,  weighs  two  hundred  and 
wenty  pounds,  has  brown  hair  and  blue 
yes.  On  July  2nd,  1931,  he  married  Mar- 
on  Douglass.    But  she  probably  wouldn't 

ind  if  you  called  him  "Spike,"  it  being 
he  name  by  which  he's  known  along  Ra- 
io  Row. 

Hort :  "Spike"  it  is,  then.  Which  re- 
inds  me — some  of  the  readers  wanted 
it  find  out  which  was  Kenny  Sargent 
nd  which  was  "Pee  Wee"  Hunt  in  that 
icture  you  had  on  your  page  in  the  April 
>sue. 

Uncle :  Easy.  Kenny's  the  fellow  on  the 
;ft.  You  can  probably  figure  out  the 
est  for  yourself. 

Hort :  I'll  try,  smartie.  In  the  mean- 
•  hile  settle  this  argument  for  a  couple 


of  very  worried  gals.  One  says  Bing 
Crosby  is  half  Irish  and  half  Italian  and 
the  other  says  all  Irish.    Which  is  right? 

Uncle:  I'll  tell  you  if  you  promise  to 
stop  opening  those  letters.  Bing  is  Amer- 
ican, of  course,  but  as  far  as  descent  is 
concerned,  I  guess  the  Irish  have  it.  Bing's 
father  is  named  Harry  L.  Crosby  and  his 
mother,  before  they  were  married,  was 
Catherine  Harrigan. 

Hort :  I'll  promise  to  stop  opening  the 
letters  if  you'll  just  give  me  a  snappy  once- 
over on  Vera  Van. 

Uncle :  It's  a  bet !  Vera's  real  name  is 
Vera  Geraldine  Webster.  She  was  born 
February  20th.  1913.  in  Marion,  Ohio. 
Among  the  more  famous  of  her  classmates 
at  Polytechnic  High  in  Los  Angeles  were 
Lew  Ayres  and  Frankie  Darrow.  She 
made  her  debut  on  the  air  over  KHJ. 
Los  Angeles,  in  1922.  Vera  wants  to  get 
married  someday,  but  she's  going  to  wait 
until  someone  as  fine  as  her  older  brother 
comes  along.  And  she  wants  it  under- 
stood that  her  hair  is  golden,  not  plat- 
inum blonde.  Now  get  down  off  my 
shoulder.  You've  haunted  me  long  enough. 

Hort:  All  right,  but  don't  forget  to 
tell  your  readers  that  if  they  have  some 
curiosity  they  wish  satisfit !  about  radio 
stars,  you're  the  guy  to  do  it  for  them !

Introducing  Hortense— a  very  determined  ghost 


Not  very  long  ago  one  of  Uncle  Answer  Man's  readers, 
who  prefers  to  be  known  as  "Maria,"  wrote  in  saying  that 
if  he  didn't  answer  her  two  questions  as  soon  as  hu- 
manly possible,  she'd  haunl  him.  She  also  warned  him 
that  she  was  a  horrible  haunter. 

Well  that  made  Hortense  very  mad.  Hortense  is  Unkie's 
own  personal  ghost  and  secretary  and  if  there's  any  haunt- 
ing to  be  done,  she's  going  to  do  it.  She's  also  the  one 
who  really  writes  that  business  about  it  being  impossible 
for  Unkie  A.  M.  to  tell  how  to  get  artists'  photographs  or 
their  addresses.  And  it's  really  because  Hortense  is  so 
jealous  that  she  won't  let  him  answer  any  questions  by 
mail. 

You  really  should  know  Hortense  better.  Here's  a  typical 
morning  scene  in  Uncle  Answer  Man's  office.  Hortense  is 
perched  on  the  Answer  Man's  shoulder,  opening  his  morn- 
ing mail. 

Hort :  Lookit,  boss,  here's  the  fifth  letter  asking  what 
happened  to  Edward  Reese,  the  Spencer  Deane  of  the  Eno 
Crime  dramas. 

That's  a  tough  one  to  answer  because  Reese  really  ran 
into  some  hard  luck.  He  had  both  arms  broken  in  an 
automobile  accident.  Internal  injuries  made  it  necessary 
for  him  to  stay  in  the  hospital.  He  is  recovering  now  and 
possibly  by  the  time  the  readers  learn  this,  he  may  be  back 
on  the  air.  In  the  meantime,  his  place  is  being  taken  by 
Clyde  North. 

Hort :  What  a  shame.  See  here,  these  readers  are  going 
to  be  madder  than  ever  if  you  don't  tell  them  something 
about  Ray  Perkins  pretty  soon. 

Awright.  Awright.  Put  this  down.  Born  August  23rd, 
1897,  in  Boston,  Massachusetts.  Educated  Polytechnic 
Preparatory  School,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  Columbia  Univer- 
sity. During  the  war  he  was  stationed  at  Camp  Upton, 
L.  I.,  with  a  commission  as  captain.  He  wrote  songs  for 
the  moguls  of  Tin  Pan  Alley  for  some  time  after  that,  but 
prefers  to  be  known  as  the  author  of  "Under  the  Texas 
Moon"  which  he  wrote  in  1929.  What's  in  that  letter  there 
— the  one  in  the  big  green  envelope? 

Hort :  It  asks — lessee — it  asks  for  the  height,  weight, 
color  hair  and  eyes  and  marital  status  of  the  Lombardo 
brothers.  Wowie! 

Uncle:  What're  you  saying  "woztrie"  for?  That's  easy! 
Guy  is  five  feet  seven,  weighs  one  hundred  and  forty-five 
pounds,  has  brown  hair  and  brown  eyes  and  is  married. 


Carmen  is  also  five  feet  seven,  weighs  one  hundred  and 
forty-seven  pounds,  has  black  hair  and  brown  eyes  and  is 
married.  Victor  is  five  feet  six  and  one-half,  weighs  one 
hundred  and  thirty-five  pounds,  has  brown  hair  and  brown 
eyes  and  is  married.  Lebert,  the  youngest  of  the  four,  is 
five  feet  six  and  one-half  inches  tall,  weighs  one  hundred 
and  forty-two  pounds,  has  black  hair  and  gray  eyes  and  is 
a  widower.     See  how  simple  that  was? 

Hort :  Maybe  you  won't  find  this  so  easy.  Give  the  cast 
of  "Buck  Rogers." 

Uncle:  Urn — alt — well,  Buck  is  played  by  Curtis  Arnall ; 
Lieutenant  Wilma  Deeritu/  by  Adele  Ronson ;  Doctor  Huer 
by  Edgar  Stehli ;  Killer  Kane  by  William  Shelly;  Ardela 
Vahnar  by  Elaine  Melchoir ;  Tallan  by  Dwight  Weist ; 
Black  Barney  by  Joseph  Granby ;  lllena  by  Peggy  Allenby; 
Takar  by  Clyde  North  (yes,  the  one  who's  taking  Reese's 
place  in  the  Crime  Clues);  Bobar  by  Fred  Uttal ;  Bundif 
by  Marion  Allen,  and  Willie  by  Walter  Tetly.  There,  now! 

Hort:  Oh,  you  aren't  through  yet!  A  lot  of  readers 
want  to  know  the  cast  and  the  theme  song  of  "Red  Davis." 

Uncle:  Gracious  me!  Do  they  really?  Well,  Red  is 
played  by  Burgess  Meredith;  Clink  by  Johnny  Kane;  Mr. 
Davis  by  Jack  Rosleigh ;  Mrs.  Davis  by  Marion  Barney ; 
Betty  Davis  by  Elizabeth  Wragge,  and  Linda  by  Eunice 
Howard.  The  signature  music  is  Victor  Herbert's  "Moon- 
beams."   Any  more  casts  in  demand  ? 

Hort :  Oooooh,  yes !    "Just  Plain  Bill,"  for  instance. 

Uncle :  That's  a  peculiar  situation.  There  is  a  cast  for 
the  East  Coast  series  and  an  entirely  different  one  for  the 
West  Coast.  But  since  all  the  letters  in  this  case  seem  to 
be  from  the  East,  we'll  give  that  cast.  Bill  is  Arthur 
Hughes;  Nancy,  Ruth  Russell;  Kerry.  James  Meighan; 
Dai'id  Curtis,  Curtis  Arnall ;  Elmer  Eeps,  Joseph  Latham ; 
Mrs.  Eeps,  Effie  Palmer ;  Marty  Tattle,  Junius  Matthews ; 
Otto,  Ralph  Bunker.  The  theme  song,  "Polly-Wolly- 
Doodle,"  is  done  by  Hal  Brown  on  mouth  organ  and 
banjo. 

Hort :  Which  is  more  than  you  can  do  !  I  don't  think  you 
can  even  give  the  cast  of  "Marie,  the  Little  French 
Princess." 

Uncle:  Ha,  ha!  I  can't!  All  I  can  say  is  that  Richard 
Collins  is  played  by  James  Meighan,  and  Marie  by  Ruth 
Yorkc.  The  other  characters  change  so  fast  that  it  would 
be  foolish  for  me  to  put  them  down  here. 

Hort:  Not  that  it's  really  any  (Continued  on  page  97)

But  dentists  looked  at  it  differently. 

"An  excellent  picture,"  was  their  gen- 
eral comment.  "It's  a  graphic  illustration 
of  a  point  we  dentists  are  always  seek- 
ing to  drive  home.  If  all  of  us  gave 
our  teeth  and  gums  more  exercise  on

IN  A 

HOLLYWOOD   PROJECTION  ROOM! 


Together, 
A  GREAT 
STAR  and 
a  NEW  STAR 


The  hush  in  the  Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  projection  room  turned 
to  a  muffled  whisper... the  whisper  rose  to  an  audible  hum... 
and  in  less  than  five  minutes  everybody  in  the  room  knew  that  a 
great  new  star  had  been  born  —  LUISE  RAINER — making  her 
first  American  appearance  in  "Escapade", WILLIAM  POWELL'S 
great  new  starring  hit!  It  was  a  historic  day  for  Hollywood, 
reminiscent  of  the  first  appearance  of  Garbo  —  another  of 
those  rare  occasions  when  a  great  motion  picture  catapults  a 
player  to  stardom. 


WILLIAM  POWELL 


William  Powell  adds 
another  suave  character- 
ization to  his  long  list  of 
successes... and  Metro- 
Goldwyn-Mayer  swells 
the  longest  list  of  stars 
in  filmdom  with  an- 
other brilliant  name 
— Luise  Rainer! 


Aristocrat,  sophisticate,  innocent  — one  wanted  romance, 
the  other  wanted  excitement  —  but  one  wanted  his  heart 
—  and  won  it!. ..Sparkling  romance  of  an  artist  who  dab- 
bled with  love  as  he  dabbled  with  paints.. .and  of  a  girl 
who  hid  behind  a  mask  — but  could  not  hide  her  heart 
from  the  man  she  loved!  _  ^

Membership 
Certificate. 


MARCONI  MEMBERS 
MAY  JOIN  CHAPTERS 


Many  applicants  for  mem- 
bership in  the  Marconi  chap- 
ter have  asked  if  they  might  be 
informed  of  regular  chapters 
within  their  locality  and  if  they 
would  be  permitted  to  affiliate 
with  such  chapters. 

The  League  approves  this 
desire,  if  the  chapters  concerned 
wish  to  accept  the  applicant. 

In  other  words,  a  Bing  Cros- 
by fan  in  Pittsburgh  may  like 
to  be  a  member  of  a  regular 
Crosby  chapter,  yet  be  unable

FROM  COAST  TO  COAST 
COME  APPLICATIONS 


The  enthusiasm  with 
which  radio  listeners  are  re- 
ceiving the  Listeners'  League 
of  America  gives  the  final  as- 
surance that  the  League  is 
destined  for  success. 

From  coast  to  coast  have 
come  applications  for  mem- 
bership. Many  writers  sent 
with  their  applications  letters 
that  spoke  high  praise  of  the 
League  and  its  purpose.  The 
editors  of  the  Gazette  are 
pleased  to  pass  along  some 
of  these  comments: 

From  Leo  O.  Niclon  of 
West  Thornton,  New  Hamp- 
shire, a  Rudy  Vallee  booster: 
"When  something  which  is 
for  the  good  both  of  the 
public  and  the  artist  is  to  be 
found  look  for  RADIO 
STARS  and  it  will  be  at  your 
service.  I  wish  to  show  my 
appreciation  for  this  new 
idea,  so  I  am  enclosing  an 
application  for  membership 
in  your  new  League.  When 
something  good  in  enter- 
tainment is 
to  be  had 
tune  in  on 
Rudy  Val- 
lee." 

From  Miss 
Isabel  Gou- 
thro,  North 
Sydney,  Nova 
Scotia,  a  Paul 
Wh  iteraan 
enthusiast : 
"Enclos  e  d 
you  will  find 
my  applica- 
tion for  membership  in  The 
Listeners'  League  of  America 
in  support  of  Paul  Whiteman. 
I  know  I  am  going  to  enjoy 
being  a  member  and  hearing 
about  Paul.  Congratulations

YOU'D  XEYER  believe 
it  but  one  of  the  most 
important  personages  around 
a  radio  city  is  the  scene 
painter.  If  you  walk 
through  any  broadcaster's 
halls,  you'll  see  him  moving 
mysteriously  about.  One  look 
and  you  can  identify  him,  but 
not  by  brushes  and  paints ! 
No,  indeed,  the 
radio  scene  ^ 
painter  doesn't 
use  that  sort  of 
equipment. 

He  uses  gad- 
gets. 

He  does  his 
painting  with  sound  and  his 
backdrop  is  the  inside  of  your 
ear.  Whistles,  popguns, 
broken  glass,  and  phonograph 
records  are  in  his  bag  of 
tricks.  Without  him  radio 
wouldn't  be  half  as  convinc- 
ing. None  of  the  big  radio 
dramas  would  hit  one-half  so 
hard  without  his  nimble  mimi- 
cry. 

Actually  the  job  of  the 
sound-effects  man  is  one  of 
the  hardest  in  radio.  In  one 
network  department  there  have 
been    three    nervous  break-

It  may  be  coincidence,  but  I 
doubt  it. 

Let's  take  a  sample  script 
and  see  how  we  would  sur- 
vive its  responsibilities.  Here

Script  okay  for  dialogue  on

She's  running  along  in  a  thick

nearly  midnight,  but  Tony 
Norton  and  his  fiancee,  Sylvia 
Deering,  are  still  up,  leaning 
on  the  rail  and  gazing  dream- 
ily out  into  the  well  of  mist 
that  enshrouds  the  ship. 
They  are  unaware  of  the  two 
dangers  which  threaten — first, 
the  jealousy  of  Sylvia's  other

THE  eyes  of  the  Radio  World 
or  perhaps  we  should  say 
ears,  have  been  focused  on 
Phil  Spitalny  on  more  than  one  oc- 
casion, but  never  so  eagerly  as  when 
he  presented  his  "all-girl"  orchestra 
for  the  first  time  on  the  Hour  of 
Charm  program.  Needless  to  say, 
for  you  probably  tune  in  on  the 
hour  every  Thursday  night,  Spi- 
talny's  feminist  experiment  in 
orchestras  was  a  sensational  success. 
Surely  it  was  most  appropriate  that 
this  leader  of  the  feminist  advance 
in  radio,  this  maestro  of  a  troupe  of 
thirty  talented  girls,  should  be 
sought  out  to  describe  his  concep- 
tion of  an  ideal  "Miss  Radio,"  a 
woman  who  in  his  imaginative  mind 
to    reign  as 


would    be  qualified 
Queen  of  Radio. 

Here  is  his  composite  selection. 
The  ideal  Miss  Radio  should  have 
the  soulful  eyes  of  Zora  Layman; 
the  personal  beauty  of  Olga  Albani ; 
the  figure  of  Gogo  DeLys ;  Bea- 
trice Lillie's  sense  of  humor ;  the 
purity   of   voice   that   is  Virginia 

Rae's ;  the  sartorial  taste  and  poise  of  Kay  Thompson ; 
the  personality  of  Bernice  Claire ;  and  the  diction  of  the 
NBC  hostess,  Eloise  Dawson. 

The  soulful  eyes  of  Zora  Layman!  It  was  a  wise 
maestro  who  made  such  a  choice,  for  the  eyes  are  the 
windows  of  the  soul  in  the  highest  spiritual  sense  of  the 
word.  They  are  the  windows  into  which  passersby  look 
to  see  if  they  like  the  personality  within. 

There  is  music  in  the  eyes.  Oftentimes  it  is  the  music 
of  love.    No,  I'm  not  getting  too  fanciful  or  sentimental 


Phil  Spitalny,  maestro  of  the 
Hour  of  Charm  program, 
gives  his  concept  of  beauty.

about  this,  for  love,  whether  it  b< 
in  the  romantic  sense,  or  love  ol 
one's  profession,  or  love  of  the 
sheer  joy  of  living,  is  the  most  be- 
coming thing  that  can  happen  to  ; 
woman.  It  lights  up  the  eyes  frorr 
the  inside.  It  makes  them  respon- 
sive. It  makes  them  sparkle.  I 
makes  them  interesting.  Eyes  an 
most  interesting  when  they  look  in 
terested.  Clever  women  know  that 
Flatter  a  man  with  your  eyes,  make 
your  eyes  say  that  you're  interestet 
in  every  important  opinion  he  is  ex 
pressing,  that  you're  hanging  01 
every  word  he  is  saying — anc 
you've  chosen  the  most  expressiv< 
language  in  the  world. 

What  is  the  drawing  power  o 
your  eyes?  Are  they  magnetic  anc 
compelling?  When  people  catel 
your  glance,  do  their  faces  light  re 
sponsively?  Whether  you  believ 
in  love  at  first  sight  or  not,  yoi 
must  admit  that  there  is  a  certaii 
electric  magnetism  in  the  eyes  tha 
attracts  one  person  to  another  01 
the  instant. 

If  you  have  eyes  that  attract,  that  compel — get  in 
terested  in  something !  Eye  make-up  does  wonders,  bu 
it  can't  perform  miracles.  Eyes  that  look  bored  witl 
the  world,  tired,  dull,  listless  eyes,  can't  be  made  inter 
esting  until  they  get  interested  in  something. 

When  I  was  interviewing  Phil  Spitalny,  after  one  o 
his  broadcasts,  he  made  an  apt  observation  about  womer 
and  their  interest  in  music.  "Music  is  essentially  a  forn 
of  emotional  expression.  Women  are  far  more  emotiona 
than  men.    Why  shouldn't  women,  then,  be  better  suiter 


Is  there  music  in  your  eyes?    Here's  a  new  beauty  note!

to  interpreting  music  than  men?" 

Why  shouldn't  they?  Look  into 
the  eyes  of  these  women  in  radio  that 
I  have  had  pictured  for  you.  You'll 
get  a  hetter  interpretation  of  what  I 
mean  when  I  talk  ahout  "music  in  the 
eyes".  It  is  the  emotional  expres- 
sion in  them.  Lily  Pons'  eyes  are 
sparkling,  vivacious,  brimming  over 
with  animation,  as  gay  as  Mendel- 
ssohn's "Spring  Song"  ;  the  dark  in- 
tense eyes  of  Gladys  Swarthout  are 
warm  with  sympathetic  understand- 
ing, the  reflection  of  a  rich  and  lovely 
personality ;  Maxine's  eyes  are  as 
wistful  and  appealing  as  the  voice 
which  made  Phil  Spitalny  choose 
her  for  the  Hour  of  Charm  program; 
Gertrude  Xiesen's  as  exotic  as  the 
"exotic  personality  of  song"  slogan 
for  which  she  has  been  known ; 
and  Dorothy  Page's  eyes  are  emo- 
tionally beautiful  enough  for  any 
"Queen  of  Radio"  (you  will  re- 
member she  was  chosen  "Miss 
Radio"  by  the  readers  of  Radio 
Stars  in  1934.) 

Perhaps  you  haven't  talent  as  a 
musician,  but  you  do  have  talent  in 
the  art  of  being  an  appreciative  lis- 
tener. Either  way  your  eyes  will 
gain  in  emotional  expression. 

Round  about  this  time  a  vacation 
will  do  your  eyes  a  world  of  good. 
New  sights,  new  people,  new  sur- 
roundings, a  new  outlook  from  your 
window  when  you  awake  in  the 
morning — all  these  things  will 
kindle  new  lights  in  your  eyes. 

Here's  another  slant  on  the  eyes, 
before  we  go  into  a  discussion  of 
eye  make-up.  Maybe  it  will  be  a 
point  to  consider  when  we  get  into 
television.  The  effect  of  color  on 
the  eyes  is  a  fascinating  study  as  well 
worth  the  attention  of  any  girl  who 
wishes  to  be  attractive  to  men.  The 
vibrations  of  yellow,  as  recorded  by 
the  nerves  of  the  eyes  and  sent  to  the 
brain,  are  stimulating.  Red  is  like- 
ise  stimulating.  Remember  the  old 
ying,  "Red  and  yellow  catch  a 
fellow?"  But  listen  well  to  this.  Soft 
'ues  and  pinks  are  the  colors  most 
men  adore.  Soft  blue  is  restful, 
nd  its  esoteric  meaning  is  "devo- 
on."  Wear  soft  blue  when  you 
ish  to  create  a  confidential  "just 
ou  and  I"  atmosphere.  And 
on't  forget  that  touch  of  blue  eye- 
hadow  on  the  eyelids  to  add  to  the 
fleet. 

The  little  booklet  that  we  are 
Ziappy  to  be  able  to  offer  you  this 
■month  (absolutely  free)  gives  you  a 
I 'hart  of  the  eyeshadow  shades  that

Major  Edward  Bowes 


//^IIAT?  Another  story  about 
f^r     amateurs  ? 

Exactly,  but  this  is  a  story 
with  a  difference.  It  is  a  story 
about  amateurs  to  end  all  stories 
about  amateurs. 

Since  the  red-ringed  day  when 
Major  Edward  Bowes  took  per- 
sonal charge  of  his  own  amateur 
hour,  the  amateur  has  become  the 
football  of  broadcasting.  He  has 
been  booted  on  and  off  programs, 
in  and  out  of  auditions,  over  and 
under  the  ether — and  today  he 
emerges  from  running  the  critical 
gauntlet  as  a  whatzitf 

Have  you  ever  seen  a  ivhatcit? 
Probably  not  if  you  live  beyond 
eyesight  of  Radio  City.  A  whatsit, 
you  know,  is  an  amateur  with  tal- 
ent who  started  his  radio  chores 
just  for  fun.  He  took  a  dare,  or 
somebody  sent  in  his  or  her  name, 
or  perhaps  it  was  just  a  case  of 
ambitious  itch.  When  he  got  his 
first  pat  on  the  hack,  he  was  merely 
an  amateur,  as  eager  for  fame  as 
a  tout  is  for  tips.  When  he  got  his 
second  pat.  or  perhaps  it  was  a 
check  for  five  dollars,  he  sloughed 
the  simon-pure  skin  he  had  worn 
and  turned  "pro,"  or  an  amateur 
who  works  at  it. 

You  see  him  and  his  brothers  and 
sisters  in  the  corridors  of  the 
broadcasting  temples,  kids  who  have

himself  the  hero  of  the  best  get- 
rich-quick  story  of  the  year.  For 
his  broadcasts,  the  Major  receives 
something  in  excess  of  five  thou- 
sand dollars  each  week — unless  the 
little  bird  who  told  us  is  a  liar.  With 
a  heart  as  big  as  the  Capitol  Theatre 
that  he  owns,  they  say  he  loves  the 
amateurs  on  his  shows  like  a  father. 
And  who  wouldn't,  at  those  rates? 

But  what  of  the  whatzit?  What 
happens  before  he  becomes  a  what- 
sit— and  what  happens  afterwards? 
If  you'll  join  me  in  a  game  of  Let's 
Pretend,  we'll  find  out.    Just  for

Hungry  kids,  most  of  them,  with

the  heck  of  it,  we'll  he  a  hill-billy 
trio  and  we  think  we're  pretty  good, 
by  cracky ! 

We  write  our  letter  of  applica- 
tion to  Major  Bowes  or  those  sec- 
ond-magnitude godlings,  Fred  Allen 
and  Ray  Perkins,  detailing  our 
skill  on  the  zither,  the  fiddle,  and 
the  sweet  potato.  As  we  write,  we 
keep  in  mind  that  fact  that  three 
sorts  of  acts  are  wanted.  First, 
amateurs  who  are  really  excellent 
singers ;  second,  amateurs  who  are 
stunt  or  novelty  performers ;  and 
third,  amateurs  who  are  terrible. 

If  our  letter  is  selected,  we  are 
called  to  a  studio  for  an  audition. 
Major  Bowes  listens  personally ; 
some  of  the  others  employ  a  com- 
mittee of  judges.  These  auditions 
are  heart-breaking  proof  of  the  old 
wheeze  that  "many  are  called  but 
few  are  chosen."  I  happen  to  know 
Ray  Perkins  has  called  eight  thou- 
sand five  hundred  and  used  two 
hundred.  Fred  Allen  has  heard 
over  sixteen  hundred  and  used  one

hundred  and  seventy-six.  Major 
Bowes  has  found  places  for  one  hun- 
dred and  forty- four  out  of  two 
thousand  seven  hundred  and  ninety. 

But  our  luck  holds  and  we  are 
selected  for  one  of  the  big  amateur 
hours.  Which  means,  first  of  all, 
that  we'll  be  eating  soon.  Amateurs 
who,  in  the  early  days  of  the  craze 
did  it  all  for  fun  and  glory,  now  get 
their  palms  crossed  with  silver.  It 


isn't  publicly  known  but  confiden- 
tially, even  if  we  are  lou-cay,  we 
get  something.  A  five  spot,  on  one 
show;  fifteen  dollars  on  another. 
And  here's  a  hit  of  valuable  inside 
information:  if  we  get  the  gong, 
we'll  get  an  extra  five  dollars. 

Which  presents  a  pretty  problem, 
doesn't  it,  to  the  ambitious  amateur

who  wants  both  the  extra  money 
and  a  successful  debut  on  the  air. 

The  gong  money,  by  the  way, 
came  to  be  paid  because  some  of  the 
sourest  performers  insisted  on 
pouring  their  vinegary  notes  into 
the  mike  despite  the  gong's  inter- 
ference. It  has  been  necessary  to 
pry  loose  more  than  one  outraged 
tyro. 

For  instance,  the  red-headed  fat 
woman  from  Rhode  Island,  who 
couldn't  read  a  note  of  music  but 
followed  them  up  when  they  went 
up  and  down  when  they  went  down 
had  to  be  dragged  away  by  force. 
She  sat  muttering  into  her  double 
chins  for  the  rest  of  the  program 
and  then  refused  to  quit  the  studio 
until  they  had  put  the  remainder  of 
her  song  on  the  air.  She'd  come 
all  the  way  from  Providence  to  sing 
that  song  and  sing  it  she  would ! 
When  it  began  to  look  as  if  she 
would  spend  the  night  on  a  pallet 
in  the  studio,  a  bright  announcer 
expressed  sympathy  and  led  her  to 
a  mike,  got  an  engineer  on  the  job. 
and  introduced  her  thus : 

"By  special  arrangement,  Mrs. 


He  pours  sour  notes  into  the 
mike!  Couldn't  drag  him 
away    from    it    by  force! 


Wilhelmina  B.  Blank  will  sing  the 
so-forth-and-so  on.-"  Mrs.  Wil- 
helmina sang  her  song  and  departed 
with  her  dignity  regained.  When 
she  reads  this,  she  will  learn  for  the 
first  time  that  the  mike  she  sang 
into  was  "dead,"  and  that  her  only 
audience  was  the  sympathetic  an- 
nouncer, the  dog. 

Amateur  hours  are  heaps  of  fun, 
admittedly,  but  as  a  hill-billy  trio 
we  want  to  know  something  more 
important:  Is  it  a  living? 

Well,  we  can  always  hope  for 
the  best.  Right  off.  if  we  win  we 
get  prizes  of  fifty  dollars  or  twenty- 
five  dollars  on  one  of  the  shows. 
If  we  are  good,  we  get  theatrical 
engagements  or  perhaps  an  air 
contract. 

David  Hughes,  for  instance,  was 
a  fifty-year-old  slate  maker  up  in 
Vermont — on  relief  for  the  last 
four  years,  too.  He  won  fifty  dol- 
lars on  Fred  Allen's  program  and 
is  promised  a  program  for  the  fall. 

Wyoming  Jack  O'Brien  came  to 
New  York  to  rustle  up  patrons  for 
a  California  dude  ranch.  He  hyp- 
notized Major  Bowes'  audience 
with  his  cowboy  songs  and  XMC 
immediately  gave  him  a  job  pinch- 
hitting  for  Johnny  Marvin  who 
wanted  a  vacation. 

Here  is  an  odd  one.  If  a  cer- 
tain man  hadn't  used  the  word 
"lousy"  on  a  little  New  York  sta- 
tion, Susan  Gage  would  be  Lack 
home  in  Pittsburg.  Right  now, 
she's  playing  .  .  .  but  here's  the 
true  story.  When  her  father  died, 
three  years  ago,  she  was  just  eigh- 
teen. His  last  wish  was  that  she 
should  continue  to  study  voice.  She 
entered  a  famous  institute  and 
graduated,  exj>ecting  to  find  work 
shortly.  Someone  told  her  New 
York  was  the  city  for  a  singer.  She 
had  just  enough  money  for  a  three- 
month-ride  (Continued  on  page  55)

Thursday  evening  finds  Rudy  mak- 
ing ready  for  his  hour  on  the  air. 
He  has  just  received  a  salary  raise 
and  a  contract  renewal  till  1941. 


A.CK  IN  1929  when  everybody  had  jobs  and  Radio 
was  very  young,  a  wise  old  stork  flew  over  the 
housetops — and  two  miracles  came  into  the  lives 
of  the  listening  world.    The  twin  miracles  of  Radio ! 
You  know  both  of  them.    One  was  Rudy  Vallee ;  the 
other,  the  thing  he  created  with  his  voice,  his  baton  and 
his  brain — his  program. 

Ever  since,  Thursday  nights  at  eight  o'clock,  they  have 
been  with  us  and,  if  anything,  have  grown  more  remark- 
able with  each  passing  year.  Indeed  this  little  story  is  a 
sort  of  birthday  cake,  baked  with  ink,  paper  and  senti- 
ment (not  to  mention  yeast)  to  celebrate  the  completion 
of  six  years  on  the  air  of  these  twin  miracles.  The  exact 
date  is  October  of  the  current  year. 

No  better  time  than  this  to  think  about  the  Vallee  hour, 
none  better  for  asking  the .  questions  which  have  been 
boiling  for  an  answer,  these  many  months.  How,  for 
example,  explain  its  phenomenal  success?  Is  there  a 
secret  formula,  and  if  so.  what  is  it? 

Other  questions,  too,  more  pointed :  How  much  does 
the  program  cost  and  what  does  Rudy  get  per  week?  Is 
the  program  as  popular  as  it  used  to  be?  And  how  long 
will  it,  can  it,  continue?  Questions  about  the  guest 
stars  .  .  .  Questions  ahout  the  routine  .  .  .  And  finally, 
one  which  asks :  Why  call  Rudy  and  his  program  mir- 
acles ? 

The  answer  to  all  these  questions  is  a  long  story.  But, 
let  me  say  at  once  that  a  miracle  is  something  you 
wouldn't  think  possible.  And  it's  a  miracle  that  Rudy 
and  his  program  have  been  on  the  air,  come  October, 
three  hundred  and  twelve  consecutive  weeks,  without 
pause  or  lay-off  of  any  kind,  sitting  still  in  New  York, 


or  in  Hollywood,  or  traveling  from  town  to  town.  This, 
if  you  don't  know  it,  is  a  record. 

The  program  has  come  to  you  from  farmhouses,  from 
sleepy  little  hotels  where  the  weight  of  two  pianos 
cracked  the  beams,  from  tents,  vaudeville  stages,  barns 
and  movie  studios.  Only  three  times  has  Rudy  himself 
been  absent,  one  of  them  the  time  his  mother  died.  No 
musical  program,  they  tell  me,  has  been  on  the  air  longer 
and  the  only  talk  program  that  has  more  years  of  ser- 
vice is  Amos  'n'  Andy. 

Considering  the  age  of  the  program,  it's  a  miracle  that 
the  Vallee  program  should  at  this  writing  be  rated  first 
in  popularity.  And  if  you  averaged  its  standing  for  the 
six  years,  week  after  week,  you  would  find  it  ranked 
first,  second,  third — never  lower  than  fourth.  Letters 
come  to  Rudy  at  the  rate  of  from  twenty-five  to  two 
hundred  a  day.  Add  the  mail  his  guest  stars  receive  and 
the  postal  skyscraper  will  total  close  to  four  million  letters 
for  the  period.  These  are  not  dream  figures  but  accu- 
rate bookkeeper  additions. 

The  statisticians  have  calculated  that  since  1929,  Rudy 
and  his  program  have  been  heard  by  almost  two  billion 
listeners.  But  what  has  it  cost  ?  And  has  it  been  worth 
while? 

Well,  for  time  on  the  air,  for  the  salaries  of  guest 
artists,  for  music  and  dramatic  rights,  for  the  salary  of 
Rudy  and  his  band — the  cost  has  averaged  about  one 
million  dollars  a  year.  For  the  six  years  easily  six  mil- 
lion. This,  I  am  told,  is  another  record.  Other  pro- 
grams have  cost  more — for  brief,  spectacular  stunts. 
But  none  more  over  the  long  haul.  If  you  want  to  get 
a  vivid  idea  of  the  cost,  try  to  imagine  a  daisy  chain  of

By  accident  he  discovered  that  he  could  sing — 
and  he  rocketed  swiftly  into  fame.  Autograph 
hunters  find  Rudy  considerate  and  generous. 
Thousands  write  him  for  autographed  pictures. 


the  thousand-million  or  so  yeast  cakes  which 
had  to  he  sold  to  defray  the  cost.  Instead 
of  counting  sheep,  count  the  little  squares 
hopping  over  a  drug  store  counter !  For 
every  Thursday  night,  a  couple  of  million. 

And  the  real  miracle  is,  to  me  at  least,  that 
it  is  worth  every  cent  of  the  cost.  The  proof 
of  the  program  is  in  the  contract  and  Rudy 
has  just  got  a  sweet  raise  and  a  renewal 
until  1941 — or  for  another  six  years.  Think 
of  it,  brood  over  it !  He  asked  me  not  to 
mention  his  salary  but  I  think  I  am  at  liberty 
to  tell  you  it  is  around  four  thousand  dollars 
per  week.  And  so  the  new  arrangement  is 
worth,  to  our  friend  with  the  curly  hair,  some- 
thing like  a  million  and  a  quarter  of  dollars. 

These  records  and  calculations  are  excit- 
ing but  to  me  the  best  part  of  the  story  con- 
cerns the  feature  which  has  won  for  the 
program  the  name:  "The  Show  Window  of 
Radio."  And  caused  Rudy  to  be  described 
as  the  Ziegfeld  of  the  air — a  Zicgfekl  who 
glorifies  not  only  beautiful  women  but  scores 
of  plain  but  talented  youngsters.  There  are 
always  a  few  of  them  at  the  broadcast  and 
when  the  audience  goes  they  remain.  Rudy 
also  remains.  He  locks  the  door  and  listens 
to  them — his  own  private  amateur  night. 

If  they  have  something,  he  nurses  them 
along,  playing  phrases  of  the  music  over 
and  over,  singing  along  with  them,  working 
to  set  them  right.  (Continued  on  page  56)

$H  fH&tHtrfii&dfUt. . .  but  thousands  of 
women  asked  me  to  explain  why  Kotex 


CAN'T  CHAFE— CAN'T  FAIL— CAN'T  SHOW 


"CAN'T  CHAFE" 

Means  much  on  active  days 

To  be  happy  and  natural  one  must  be  com- 
fortable. The  new  Kotex  gives  lasting  com- 
fort and  freedom.  You  see,  the  sides  of  Kotex 
are  cushioned  in  a  special,  soft,  downy  cotton 
—  all  chafing,  all  irritation  is  prevented.  But 
mind  you,  sides  only  are  cushioned — the  cen- 
ter surface  is  left  free  to  absorb. 


"CAN'T  FAIL" 

Is  important,  too 

Security  means  much  to  every  woman  at  all 
times  . . .  and  Kotex  assures  it !  It  has  a  special 
center  layer  whose  channels  guide  moisture 
evenly  the  whole  length  of  the  pad.  This  spe- 
cial center  gives  "body"  but  not  bulk — makes 
Kotex  adjust  itself  to  every  natural  movement. 
No  twisting.  The  filler  of  Kotex  is  actually  s 
times  more  absorbent  than  cotton. 


IT'S  only  natural  that  ■women  should  be  vitally  concerned 
about  this  intimate  subject.  And  I've  discovered  this: 
once  women  understand  the  3  exclusive  advantages  that  only 
Kotex  offers,  most  of  them  will  not  be  satisfied  with  any 
other  sanitary  napkin ! 

By  reading  the  facts  presented  here,  you  can  learn  what 
I  believe  every  woman  has  a  right  to  know.  You  need  never 
have  times  when  you're  ill  at  ease.  For  now  there  is  a  sim- 
ple way  to  carefree,  perfect  poise  on  the  days  it's  hardest  to 
attain.  Here's  a  modern  sanitary  napkin— Kotex— that  has  re- 
movedallannoyancefromwomen'smostperplexingproblem. 

Kotex  brings  women  3  gratifying  comforts  thatyou  can  un- 
derstand by  simply  looking  at  the  construction  of  thepad  itself. 

With  all  of  these  extra  Kotex  advantages  costing  so  little, 
there's  no  economy  in  accepting  ordinary  kinds. 

For  greater  protection  on  some  days  depend  on  Super 
Kotex.  For  emergency,  look  for  Kotex  in  ladies'  rooms  in 
West  Cabinets. 


WONDERSOFT  KOTEX

"CAN'T  SHOW" 

Gives  evening  peace-of-mind 

The  sheerest  dress,  the  closest -fitting  gown 
reveals  no  tell-tale  lines.  What  an  aid  to  self- 
confidence  and  poise.  The  ends  of  Kotex  are 
not  only  rounded  but  flattened  and  tapered 
besides.  Absolute  invisibility — no  tiny  wrin- 
kles whatsoever.

If  it  hadn't  been  for  a  letter  written  in  pencil  on  cheap 
ablet  paper  by  an  Arkansas  farmer's  wife,  these  para- 
graphs would  never  have  been  penned.  The  letter  was  to 
he  point.    It  said: 

You  can  give  all  your,  medals  to  the  big  Radio  City 
urograms  but  they  still  won't  be  as  good  as  one  I've  been 
istening  to  out  here  for  ten  years.  It's  the  kind  of  show 
is  home-folks  wouldn't  trade  for  all  the  symphonies  and 
oke-crackers  in  New  York.  Its  name  is  WSM's  'Grand  Ole 

)pry.'"  

That  started  us  to  wondering  if  we  were  too  conscious  of 
etwork  broadcasts,  and  neglecting  some  of  the  fine  enter- 
ainment  being  presented  by  individual  stations.  Appar- 
ntly,  we  were,  for  on  listening  to  the  Grand  Ole  Opry 
re  heard  a  show  that  has  made  an  amazing  record. 

It  has  played  for  four  consecutive  hours  each  Saturday 
ight  for  ten  consecutive  years.  In  Amos  'n'  Andy 
anguage,  "Ain't  dat  sumpin'?" 

The  Grand  Ole  Opry's  head-man  is  George  D.  Hay, 
rherwise  known  as  the  Solemn  Old  Judge.  Its  cast  of  sixty 
re  authentic  hill-dwellers  and  dirt  farmers  with  nary  a 
•ofessional  among  'em.  Talk  about  your  amateur  hours, 
ire  is  an  amateur  night  in  which  no  performer  ever  gets 
e  gong. 

As  a  program,  the  Grand  Ole  Opry  probably  has  more 
ist  friends  than  any  other  single  air-show.   Its  performers

because  their  program  has  given  pleasure  to  so  many

Little  Jack  Little 


rHE  mayor  of  Philadelphia  was  furious. 
It  was  merely  five  a.m.,  for  heaven's  sake, 
and  that  confounded  doorl>ell  had  waked 
up  the  whole  household.  Grunting  and  fuming 
as  it  behooved  a  man  of  his  position  to  do  when 
his  slumber  had  been  so  outrageously  inter- 
rupted, he  yanked  on  his  bathrobe  and  padded 
barefoot  down  the  stairs.  Outside  it  was  three 
below,  still  pitch-black  dark,  and  a  generally 
lousy  setup  for  a  New  Year's  morning. 

The  mayor  of  Philadelphia  was  flabber- 
gasted. One  flip  of  the  night  latch  and  a  freez- 
ing gust  of  wind  blew  through  his  Georgian 
door  a  boy,  a  girl,  a  snowdrift  and  Wedding 
Present.  The  boy  blurted  nervously :  "Good 
morning,  Your  Honor."  The  girl  giggled.  The 
snowdrift  proceeded  to  flatten  disgustingly  on 
the  only  Persian  rug  in  the  house.  And  Wed- 
ding Present  tucked  a  curly  tail  between  his 
legs,  cocked  one  ear,  and  just  stood. 

The  mayor  of  Philadelphia  was  firm.  It  was 
not  his  custom,  he  boomed,  to  wed  young 
couples  at  the  odious  hour  of  five  a.m.  .More- 
over he  perceived  that  the  ages  of  sixteen  and 
nineteen,  as  stated  on  said  marriage  license, 
could  place  such  a  marriage  under  immediate 
annulment  without  the  full  parental  consent  of 
both  parties  involved.  And  furthermore,  he 
felt  it  his  duty  to  convey  to  the  youngsters  be- 
fore him  his  emphatic  opinion  that  persons  of 
their  degree  of  adolescence  should  be  asleep  in 
their  respective  homes,  instead  of  prowling 
about  in  sleet-coated  evening  attire  in  search  of 
a  matrimonial  agent.  So  saying,  the  mayor  of 
Philadelphia  politely  retired  to  his  bedchamber. 

The  mayor  of  Trenton  was  nicer  about 
things.  But  that  was  several  hours  later,  and 
I'm  getting  ahead  of  my  story.  I've  left  the 
boy,  the  girl  and  Wedding  Present  deposited  in 
a  fresh  snowdrift  outside  the  Georgian  door.  • 

"You  oughtn't  to  have  giggled,  darling," 
commented  the  boy,  moodily  jamming  the  li- 
cense back  inside  his  overcoat  pocket. 

"I  couldn't  help  it,  Jack — his  toes  were  curly! 


Then 


Didn't  you  see  'em?"  she  laughed  back 
Gee,  don't  be  mad  with  me!" 

"Aw,  I'm  not  mad !  Powder  your  nose  an 
I'll  kiss  you  and  we'll  find  us  some  other  guy. 

So  she  powdered  her  nose  and  ne  kissed  he 
and  they  started  down  the  walk. 

The  boy  was  radio's  own  Little  Jack  Little- 
fresh,  at  the  time,  from  Iowa  University.  Th 
girl  was  a  half-pint  of  brunette  fluff  named  Te» 
Tea  Hellman,  in  toto,  from  Albany. 

At  exactly  ten  p.m.,  that  evening,  Jack  an 
Tea  had  met  for  the  first  time. 

At  exactly  eleven,  they  thought  they  were  i 
love.  At  exactly  twelve,  there  was  no  dout 
about  it.  And  at  exactly  one,  they  announce 
their  engagement  to  a  baldheaded  waiter  i 
Childs. 

Long,  long  before  breakfast  time  the  ne> 
morning,  "Mr.  and  Mrs."  was  the  name.  Th 
point  being  that  there  wasn't  any  breakfast  t 
be  before.    All  they  had  was  love  and  a  dim< 

So  saying  do  I  present  to  you  the  intimat 
and  hitherto  untold  details  of  the  champion  rc 
mance  of  Radio  Row.  The  romance  of  the  Lit 
tie  Jack  Littles.  Nothing  quite  like  it  eve 
could  happen  again  in  the  next  million  year: 

It  never  would  have  happened  at  all  if  A 
Jolson  hadn't  been  singing  at  New  York's  Wir, 
ter  Garden.  And  if  a  theatre  manager,  wh 
knew  both  Jack  and  Tea,  hadn't  been  giving 
New  Year's  Eve  box  party.  I  don't  mean  on 
of  those  affairs  where  half  the  guests  are  sup 
posed  to'  bring  sandwiches  and  the  other  hal 
chip  in  on  the  lemonade.  I  refer  to  the  charm 
ing  gesture,  decreasingly  frequent  of  lat( 
whereby  a  host  buys  a  block  of  seats  to  a  hi 
show  and  invites  his  friends  to  witness  the  per 
formance.  Anyway  this  was  in  1922,  when 
song  called  "Mammy"  was  the  craze  of  Man 
hattan.  And  an  evening  dress  wasn't  an  eve 
ning  dress  unless  it  had  a  daring  scalloped  her 
that  struck  madame  at  the  knee  line.  An< 
people  had  jobs. 

And  gave  box  parties  at  $8.80  per.. 


i  me 


Jack,  of  course,  had  to  be  late 
that  night;  or  we  could  have  got 
this  romance  under  way  a  lot  ear- 
lier in  the  evening  and  not  had 
to  go  around  jerking  people  out 
of  bed.  But  he  was  late  for  a 
very  important  reason.  Two 
blocks  down  Broadway,  at  the 
Strand,  he  had  his  -first  job — 
vaudeville  accompanist  for  Yvette 
Krugel,  once  famous  "Miniature 
Prima  Donna."  He  didn't  sing 
in  those  days  but  he  was  mean 
stuff  on  the  treble  cleff  of  any- 
body's Steinway.  And  he'd  had 
to  play  the  last  show  at  the  Strand 
before  he  could  go  to  the  party. 

Lots  of  people  saw  it  happen — 
the  meeting  of  Jack  and  Tea  dur- 
ing an  intermission.  You  know 
how  you  do  when  you  sit  in  the 
second  balcony  and  eye  the  er- 
mine and  tails  in  the  boxes.  Lots 
of  people  saw  a  handsome  youth 
bend  over  a  pretty  little  brunette 
in  a  dandelion  chiffon  dress — and 
thought  nothing  of  it.  Most 
likely  they  sighed  with  boredom 
and  reread  "Who's  Who  in  the 
Cast"  for  the  fifth  time  and  didn't 
realize  that  history  was  being 
made  before  their  very  eyes.  But 
then  they  couldn't  have  suspected, 
any  more  than  'the  boy  and  girl 
did,  that  the  two  of  them  would 
actually  be  headin'  for  a  weddin' 
in  just  three  hours ;  that  come 
1935  they'd  still  be  happily  rhar- 
'  ried ;  that  the  boy  was  going  to 
grow  into  one  of  radio's  most 
popular  singer-maestros.  To  say 
nothing  of  composing  "Jealousy," 
"A  Shanty  in  Old  Shanty  Town",

And  all  Jack  Little  could  see  was 
a  mouth  like  a  red  satin  bow,  a 
mop  of  coal-colored  curls,  and  the 
biggest  pair  of  frost-blue  eyes 
he'd  ever  gazed  into.  Tea's  six- 
teen-year-old heart  began  playing 
a  jig-time,  too.  He  was  divine  I

There  was  a  firm  fresh  blond- 
ness  about  him  that  almost  hurt, 
it  was  so  handsome.  And  the  way 
he  smiled ! — 

There  weren't  many  words,  and 
there  wasn't  any  music,  but  Jack

In  Me  preceding  Issue — 

/  first  met  Sandra,  radio's  glamorous  singing  star,  the  day 
Barry  and  I  were  married  in  the  Little  Church  Around  the 
Corner.  She  was  an  exotic  creature,  with  a  marz>ellous  voice  and 
a  subtle,  magnetic  power  of  attraction.  I  did  not  then  suspect  the 
quality  of  her  interest  in  Barry,  and  in  the  swift,  happy  months 
tluit  followed  I  forgot  her,  and  I  believe  Barry  did,  too.  But 
naturally  they  saw  each  other  often.  Sandra  sings  for  the  same 
radio  broadcasting  company  for  which  Barry  is  the  popular  "I:ly- 
ing  Reporter."  I  had  heard  their  names  coupled  occasionally,  but 
1  paid  no  attention  to  it.  Prominent  and  popular  people  always 
are  targets  for  envious  tongues.  Barry  often  flies  far  from  home, 
to  report  some  revolution  or  strike,  some  flood  or  famine — wher- 
ever anything  is  happening,  there  Barry  will  be.  But,  although 
I,  too,  am  a  flyer,  Barry  does  not  like  to  have  me  accompany 
him — which  means  that  we  often  are  separated.  Bill  Willoughby. 
another  flyer,  has  always  squired  me  about  when  Barry  was  away. 
Bill  attd  Grace  Meldrum,  a  noted 
newspaper  writer,  and  Barry 
and  I  have,  been  firm  friends 
since  my  first  ocean  hop  had 
landed  me  among  the  "front 
page  personalities."  Bill  had 
been  in  love  with  me  before 
Barry  and  I  were  married,  but 
I  guessed  that  Grace  was  secretly 
in  love  with  Bill  and  hoped  for 
a  romance  between  them.  It  was 
Grace  and  Bill  who  first  felt 
that  Barry  was  becoming  seri- 
ously involved  with  Sandra,  but 
I  wouldn't  listen.  It  was  only 
when  Barry  told  me  that  he  had 
to  go  to  Cuba  because  of  some 
rumored  political  upheaval  there, 
and  mentioned  casually  that  San- 
dra, too,  would  be  there,  that  a 
sudden  fear  tortured  me.  And 
then  Sandra  came  to  see  me — to  demand  that  I  set  Barry  free! 
I  was  not  the  woman  for  him,  she  insisted.  I  had  no  subtlety, 
no  fire,  tio  mystery — and  men  like  mystery,  she  declared.  But 
when  I  pointed  out  that,  even  if  I  were  zvilling  to  divorce  him, 
Barry's  popularity  might  suffer — radio  people  have  to  be  careful 
of  their  reputations — Sandra  made  the  startling  suggestion  that 
I  find  "a  nobler  way  out."  I  kneiv  what  she  meant — that  I  should 
set  out  in  my  ship  and  not  come  back!  All  night  my  thoughts 
whirled  in  tormented  confusion.  Barry  did  not  come  home.  Was 
he  with  Sandra?  Had  they  planned  their  trips  to  coincide?  Did 
he  love  her?  Did  he  want  her?  Should  I  set  him  free?  Should 
I  do  what  Sandra  suggested?    It  seemed  the  only  solution.  .  .  . 

Part  Two 

*  I  AVE  YOU  EVER  noticed  how  different 
£J  things  look  in  the  morning,  after  a  troubled 
" #  night?  You  have,  I'm  sure.  .  .'.  We've,  all 
of  us,  known  those  nights  of  torment,  when 
dreadful  shapes  seem  to  crowd  about  us  in  the  darkness, 
to  point  with  fearful  fingers  and  mutter  with  ominous 
tongues.  And  how  absurd,  how  insubstantial  they  seem 
when  morning  brings  back  sanity  and  strength. 

The  sun  rose  warmly.  The  air  was  sweet  with  the 
fragrance  of  opening  buds.  Suddenly  I  felt  happy  again. 
1  laughed  softly  to  myself. 

What  a  fool  I  had  been  last  night!  A  silly,  melodra- 
matic fool !  To  think  only  of  escape  from  something  that 
hurt  intolerably.  .  .  .  To  dream  of  flying  away  into  space, 
to  leave  to  Sandra  what  never  should  be  hers !  Last 
night  I  had  been  a  quitter.  ...  I  had  gazed  upon  the 
rents  in  the  lovely  fabric  of  our  marriage  and  had  thought 
of  throwing  it  away — as  if  it  could  not  be  mended  again, 
and  more  beautiful  than  before ! 

I  laughed  again.'  I  knew  now  that  I  would  fight  for 
what  was  mine.  Fight — and  win !  I  knew  now  what 
journey  I  would  take.  I  would  go  with  Barry.  How 
simple  it  all  was! 

I  had  bathed  and  changed  into  a  tailored  frock  of 
orchid-colored  wool,  when  Barry  came  home.  He  had 
in  his  hand  a  small  sprig  of  forsythia  which  he  had 
picked  from  one  of  the  shrubs  near  the  doorway  as  he 
came  in.  He  bent  and  tucked  it  into  a  fold  of  my  violet 
scarf — and  kissed  it.  And  my.  heart  grew  suddenly  warm 
and  light,  as  I  thought  of  an  April  day  three  years  ago. 

"Morning,  Ginny  dear,"  Barry  said. 

I  thought  his  voice  sounded  tired.    His  eyes  looked 


tired,  too — drained  of-  color,  somehow.  But  he  smiled, 
and,  as  always,  I  felt  a  little  quiver  of  emotion  at  the 
upward  curve  of  his  lips  at  the  corners.  Barry  has  such 
a  handsome  mouth,  that  seems  so  fittingly  to  frame  his 
deep,  rich  voice.  Always,  looking  at  him,  I  think  of  a 
lin£  of  Rossetti's — "The  mouth's  mould  testifies  of  voice 
and  kiss.  ..." 

"I  should  have  phoned  you,  dear,"  he  was  saying. 
"But  it  was  so  late  when  I  got  a  chance,  I  thought — I 
hoped  you  might  be  sleeping.  I  was  at  the  studio  for  a 
while,"  he  went  on.  "Then  I  went  out  to  the  field,  to 
check  up  on  things.  I — "  He  looked  at  me  thoughtfully 
for  a  moment.  But,  whatever  he  had  l>een  alxmt  to  say, 
he  did  not  finish. 

"I  know.  ..."  I  said.  But 
again  1  seemed  to  feel  that 
knife-blade  searching  for 
my  heart.  Suddenly  I  felt 
that  he  had  spent  some  part 
of  that  night  with  Sandra. 
For  a  moment  despair 
seized  me  again.  Fear. 
Anger. 

But  fiercely  I  fought  them 
down.  I  must  think  clearly 
now.  Must  l>e  wise.  And 
strong.  I  had  been  so  sure 
of  myself.  So  sure  of 
Barry.  I  hadn't  made  him 
feel  that  I  cared  deeply 
where  he  went  or  what  he  did.  I  hadn't  clung  to  him 
possessively.  Leaned  upon  him.  Looked  up  to  him. 
Made  him  feel,  as  he  was,  essential  to  my  happiness.  I 
had  wanted  him  to  feel  free.  How  absurd  that  was!  You 
can't  be  married  and  be  free — not  really.  I  knew  that 
now.  You  can  choose  to  ignore  certain  subtle  responsi- 
bilities that  marriage  involves — but  you  can't  escape  the 
consequences  !    I  laughed  wryly. 

Barry  looked  at  me  questioningly.  A  troubled  shadow 
darkened  his  eyes. 

"I'm  laughing  at  myself,"  I  explained.  "I'm  such  an 
idiot,  really,  Barry.  Did  you  know  it  ?  Did  you  guess, 
when  we  were  married,  that  your  wife  was  a  fool?" 

"No!"  His  lips  curved  faintly  again,  but  his  eyes 
did  not  smile.  "No,  Ginny — that's  one  thing  you  are 
not !  Unless — "  be  bit  his  lips,  "unless  marrying  me 
proves  it." 

"Marrying  you  has  proved  quite  a  lot  of  things,"  I 
said  softly.  "Shall  I  tell  you  about  them,  some  day?" 
Then,  as  he  still  looked  doubtfully  at  me,  I  said:  "I'm 
going  to  Cuba  with  you." 

"No — "   His  voice  broke  raggedly.   "You're  not." 

"You  don't  want  me — to  go  with  you?" 

"That's  the  last  thing  in  the  world  I  want."  He 
turned  abruptly  and  started  for  the  stairs. 

"Breakfast  will  be  ready  in  fifteen  minutes,"  I  called 
after  him,  trying  to  keep  my  voice  steady.  "Will  you  be 
down  ?" 

"I'll  be  down."  Slowly,  heavily,  he  went  up  the  broad 
staircase. 

I  sat  down  abruptly  as  he  disappeared.  Again  my 
thoughts  whirled  in  dizzying  circles.  Was  Barry  in  love 
with  Sandra  ?  Did  he  want  to  get  away — to  be  really 
free?  Somehow  I  couldn't  make  myself  believe  it.  Not 
this  radiant  morning.  Evt.i  in  spite  of  his  words,  I 
couldn't  believe  it.  And  yet — Sandra  was  going  to  Cuba. 
.  .  .  What  could  I  do?  In  my  troubled  heart  I  could 
find  no  answer. 

Integrity  is  always  at  a  disadvantage  against  duplicity. 
An  honest  nature  cannot  fathom  the  falsity  of  a  dis- 
honest one.  I  felt  that  Sandra  and  I  were  fighting  for 
Barry,  but  l>etween  us  hung  a  misty  veil,  a  tissue  of  de- 
ceit, and  I  did  not  know  how    (Continued  on  page  70)

BEHIND  VOICES  YOU'RE  HEARING 

•  •  •  Al  Bowlly's  singing  makes  Ray  Noble's  dance 
music  even  more  pleasant,  but  I  wish  you  could  watch 
Bowlly  work.  His  appearance — dark  and  dangerous — 
makes  him  potentially  the  smooth  menace  George  Raft 
tries  to  be  in  the  flickers — only  Bowlly  is  much  more 
handsome  than  Raft.  He  is  one  of  the  few  men  in  radio 
with  the  swashbuckling,  devil-may-care  look  of  the  pirate. 
That's  why  I've  never  asked  alxmt  his  career.  I'd  rather 
think  he  is  fresh  from  the  bloody  Spanish  Main. 

•  •  •  Annette  Hanshaw.  There's  something  new 
about  this  girl — something  strange  that  keeps  us  who 
know  and  watch  her  wondering.  Once,  when  Annette 
was  with  Show  Boat,  she  was  scared  green  of  everything, 
anything.  Each  broadcast  was  a  jitter  of  things  gone 
wrong  and  the  audience  was  a  green-eyed  monster  that 
would  eat  her  up  if  she  dared  to  look  at  it.  Even  under 
the  beneficent,  care- free  influence  of  Walter  O'Keefe's 
mad  company,  she  continued  her  timid  way,  reading  a 
prayer  book  between  songs  to  quiet  the  jangle  of  taut 
nerves.  But  Annette's  changing !  Lately  she  has  come 
out  of  her  dressing-room  to  rehearse  with  her  eyes  flash- 
ing and  her  head  up.  A  smile  for  everybody.  She  no 
longer  asks  the  orchestra  in  a  scared  voice  if  she  could 
have  a  shift  in  tempo.  There's  a  dramatic  story  here. 
She's  winning  the  battle  over  a  sad  inferiority  complex.

•  •  •  Leon  Belasco.  This  man,  whose  Greek-like 
accent  is  a  sparkle  on  the  Phil  Baker  program,  is  a 
sparkle  everywhere  he  goes.  With  Frank  Black,  praised 
in  this  column  not  long  ago,  he  is  one  of  the  friendliest  of 
orch  leaders  with  the  men  in  his  band.  He  handles  his 
musicians  like  an  instrument,  without  the  nervous  raging 
of  some  of  the  band  leaders.  Because  of  his  quips  with 
the  boys  in  the  control  room  and  his  regard  for  the  needs 
of  vocalists,  his  rehearsals  are  a  joy  to  attend. 

WHEN  THE  AUDIENCE  IS  AWAY 

You  and  I  are  standing  while  the  last  of  Walter 
O'Keefe's  caravan  passes  into  the  night.  Walter,  beside 
us  in  the  wings,  is  nervous.  He  shifts  lack  and  forth  on 
his  feet  like  a  prize  fighter  and  watches  Kenny  Sargent 
sing  a  song.  Every  other  instant,  he  looks  at  the  clock. 
Then,  just  as  Kenny  finishes,  Jack  O'Keefe  slides  up  and 
whispers  in  his  brother's  ear.  O'Keefe's  eyes  light.  He 
dashes  out  on  the  stage,  skips  through  the  closing  spot, 
and  runs  across  to  the  exit  as  the  curtain  comes  down. 
Why?  Well,  his  brother  had  whispered :  "It's  a  boy!" 
and  Walter  was  on  his  way  to  see  his  new  son.

T 


and  Her 


Brothers 


Babs,  Charlie,  and 
Little  Ryan  learn 
where  happiness  lies 


vim 


he  truth  about  Babs  and  her  'brothers'  "...  J 
I  hat  lias  an  almost  oniinou>  sound,  as  if  one 
were  aliout  to  s]>cak  in  hushed  wliisjicrs  of  strange 
ami  mysterious  things!  Hut,  in. this  instance,  the  truth 
is  a  simple  story — brave  and  touching,  as  simple  things 
so  often  are.  A  story  it's  good  to  know,  liecausc  it 
reveals  sincerity  and  courage  and  that  loyalty  to  the  hetl 
in  oneself  tliat  no  exjicricncc  can  sluice. 
That's  Babs'  story. 

Tlic  small,  eager,  brown-eyed  girl,  a  senior  in  High 
School,  who  ran  away  from  home  to  seek  fame  and 
fortune  in  the  show  business,  learned  early  how  to  take 
the  hard  knocks,  defeats,  discouragements  that  beset  the 
quest  of  a  career — to  take  them  head  high,  chin  up.  eye* 
smiling.    You  can't  down  a  girl  like  that! 

So  when  tragedy  broke  into  the  citadel  of  Ikt  |x»rsonal 
life,  Babs  knew  how  to  shut  it  away — to  close  and  lock 
the  door  u|mui  grief  and  disillusionment,  and  carrv  on. 

You've  read,  jierliaps,  that  Babs'  "brothers"  are  not 
really  her  lirothers — that  Charlie  and  "Little"  Ryan  are 
brothers,  and  that  Babs  and  Charlie  were  married.  Yet 
even  that  lias  only  recently  liecome  known,  hinted  at  by 
vague  and  incomplete  rumors  in  gossip  columns. 

It's  odd  that  their  almost- f our-years-old  marriage  was. 
not  announced  till  it  had  reached  the  bitter  moment  of 
breaking  up.  But  till  then  it  had  seemed  liest  to  keep 
it  a  professional  secret,  liven  Fred  Waring,  for  whom 
the  trio  worked  all  during  that  time,  was  unaware  of  it. 
But  when  the  secret  romance  was  shattered,  and  a  cruel 
sltadow  blotted  out  all  its  beauty,  they  liad  to  let  their 
marriage  lie  known — because  otherwise  they  couldn't 
explain  why  they  felt  they  must  leave  the  associations 
that  always  had  Iieen  congenial  and  successful. 

"We  never  would  have  left  Fred,"  Bahs  told  me  as 
we  lunched  together  one  day,  "if  things  hadn't  liapjicned 
— as  they  did — " 

You  can  understand  tliat.  When  you  arc  wounded, 
the  first  impulse  is  to  escape  from  surroundings  that  once 
were  all  of  happiness  and  now  arc  strange  and  unfriendly 
with  secret  hurt.  • 

Perhaps  they  shouldn't  have  been  divorced.  ...  Di- 
vorce is  a  cruel  and  a  iiainful  thing.  It  leaves  a  wound 
that  is  not  easily  healed.  On  the  other  hand,  perhaps 
they  shouldn't  have  lieen  married.  They  were  mi  young. 
They  couldn't  realize  that  marriage  is  itself  a  demanding 
profession.  And  they  were  giving  all  they  had  to  another 
profession — their  music.  Perliaps  it  was  the  success  of 
their  professional  partnership  that  made  them  unduly 
confident  of  tile  personal  one. 

The  professional  partnership  liegan  four  years  ago — 
when  the  three  of  them  were  not  much  more  than  eigh- 
teen— when  Babs  was  chosen  from  half  a  hundred 
aspirants  as  accompanist  to  the  singing  Ryan  brothers. 
That  partnership  was  a  success  from  the  start.  Babs  not 
only  could  play  at  sight  their  music  with  its  intricate 
arrangements,  but  she  could,  and  did.  make  new  arrange^ 
ments  for  them.  She  could,  and  did.  sing  with  them  in 
her  sweet,  clear  voice.  In  the  rhythm  of  their  music  the 
lives  and  aspirations  of  the  three  blended  as  harmoniously 
as  did  their  voices. 

Naturally  Charlie  fell  in  love  with  Babs.    You  can'! 
wonder  at  that!  "You're  lovely  to  look'  at.  delight  fid 
hold,  and  Heaven  to  kiss  .  .  ."  must,  to  Charlie,  has 
seemed  to  be  written  of  1  !ahs.  She  is  lovely.  She  has  heal 
and  grace  and  a  natural,  unaffected  charm  of  manner. 
Strength  without  hardness.  Sincerity  without  unkindnc 
or  animosity.  A  generous,  giving  nature,  and  an  honest  i 

And  you  can  understand,  meeting  Charlie,  that 
would,  to  Balis,  have  been  a  sweetheart  hard  to  resis 
Both  the  Ryan  brothers  are  amiable,  attractive  lads,  wit 
an  ardor  for  music  equal  to  Babs'  own,  with  qualitk 
of  genuineness  and  sincerity  similar  to  hers. 

And  so  Hahs  and  Charlie  were  married — though  tl 


■My  their  families,  whose  approval  thev  had.  knew  of  it. 
And  they  worked  happily  together,  budding  up  their  tno. 
establishing  themselves  as  radio  entertainers.  Charlie 
was  the  business  manager  of  the  trio.  •'Little"  was 
librarian,  taking  care  of  their  ever-growing  file  of 
scores  and  musical  arrangements.  And  Habs  selected  all 
the  songs,  made  the  arrangements  for  the  trio,  and  taught 
them  to  the  boys.  She  wrote  the  bits  of  dialog  they  bring 
into  their  programs.  Wrote  additional  lyrics  for  the 
songs.  And  the  three  of  them  gave  heart  and  soul  and 
mind  to  building  up  the  trio  as  nearly  as  possible  to  the 
high  standard  they  set  for  themselves*. 

Fred  Waring,  who  heard  them  nearly  four  vears  ago. 
lost  no  time  in  placing  them  under  contract.  And.  Habs 
told  me  with  characteristic  sincerity,  he  gave  them  more 
than  they  could  ever  repay.  He  taught  them  diction  and 
phrasing.  Taught  them  how  to  select  songs  suited  for 
them,  and  other  important  essentials  to  the  successful 
presentation  of  their  programs  on  the  air. 

And  the  three  youngsters  were  so  res|>onsive  to  his 
teaching,  so  earnest,  so  whole-heartedly  devoted  to  their 
work,  that  their  progress  in  popularity  and  success  was 
gratifying  and  inspiring. 

They  worked  together  tirelessly,  correcting  each  other 
freely  and  frankly.   And  there  was  neither  animosity  nor 
bitterness  in  their  mutual  criticisms.    lint — Habs  and 
■   Charlie  were  married.    And,  working  so  closely  together 
|j  all  day,  day  after  day,  inevitably  they  took  their  problem* 
home  with  them,  to  bicker  and  quarrel  "far  into  the 
[•  night"  over  things  that  had  come  up  during  rehearsals. 
!  They  couldn't  get  away  from  it,  you  see.    There  was  mo 
radically  different  element  in  their  home  life  to  refresh 
f:  them  from  their  work.    And  so  a  residue  of  resentment 
U  grew.    And — 

"We  were  terribly  unhappy — "  Habs  said. 
And  so  they  had  to  tell  Fred  Waring — tell  him  of  their 
marriage — and  of  their  imminent  divorce — tell  him  that 
they  must  leave  him,  l>ecause  they  could  work  together 
no  longer. 

Like  any  true  friend.  Fred  tried  to  help  them  to  solve 
their  problem.  Tried  to  arrange  things  so  that  they  could 
stay  with  his  program.  Hut  Habs  felt  that  it  just  wouldn't 
work — and  she's  too  sincere,  tin)  brave  to  remain  weakly 
in  a  situation  she  felt  to  be  all  wrong.  She  couldn't 
"muddle  along".  .  .  . 

So  Habs  and  her  brothers  left  Fred  Waring.  And 
Babs  and  Charlie  were  divorced. 

Rabs  tried  to  train  two  other  "brothers".  But  that 
didn't  work,  either.  And  she  was  still  unhappy.  Not 
even  the  music  was  right  now !  Not  even  the  music  .  .  . 
Suddenly  a  light  broke  through  the  dreary  shadows. 
The  trio  always  had  l>een  successful.  Despite  what  had 
happened  to  the  marriage,  why  couldn't  they  keep  the 
trio  as  it  was  ? 

;  She  thought  about  it  earnestly.  The  brothers  were 
thinking  about  it.  too.  Without  Babs.  they  hadn't  teen 
able  to  do  anything  that  satisfied  them. 

The  d(x>r  was  closed  and  locked  now  upon  the  little 
ghost  of  happiness-that-had-teen.  It  could  not  trouble 
them  again.  And  the  three  were  of  one  mind,  as  always, 
where  their  music  was  concerned. 

"So  there  we  are,"  Habs  said,  "singing  together  as  if 
nothing  had  happened.    People  can't  understand  it.  They 
I think  it's  funny!    Hut  to  us,  it's  just  right." 

You  can  understand  it.  There  never  had  teen  a  shadow 
111  a  cloud  on  the  professional  partnership.  They  had 
I  earned  how  to  work  together  for  the  Miccess  of  that.  So 
I  hey  carry  on.

rAX  BAER  has  crashed 
radio. 

It's  a  simple  state- 
ment of  fact  and  one  which 
every  radio  fan  who  listens 
to  the  Lucky  Smith  series  on 
the  NBC  chain  on  Tuesday 
nights  knows.  But — I  wonder 
how  many  of  you  know  just 
what  radio  means  to  Max  ? 
Know  that  it's  another  step- 
ping stone  to  his  secret  am- 
bition. 

Oh,  yes,  this  big,  happy- 
go-lucky  fellow  with  the  giant 
body  and  the  movie  star  face, 
has  a  secret  ambition  right 
under  that  curly  head  of  his. 
You'd  never  guess  it,  so  I'll 
tell  it  to  you  right  now.  Max 
Baer,  champ  boxer,  hoofer, 
night  club  entertainer,  singer 
and  now  radio  actor,  wants  to 
be  a  gentleman.  Gentleman 
Maxie ! 

Don't  laugh.  At  whichever 
angle  you  look  at  his  life,  you 
can  see  him  slugging  his  way 
directly  to  that  goal. 

His  career,  stripped  to  its 
barest  outlines,  shows  it.  From 
butcher  boy  to  pug  to  champ 
to  radio  star  and — society, 
maybe.  Don't  forget,  radio 
is  the  most  conservative  and 
high-hat  element  of  show 
business.  To  prove  how  dis- 
criminating and  exclusive  it 
is,  no  other  boxer  has  ever 
been  signed  lip  for  a  regular 
air  series.  But  Maxie's  done 
it.       It     means  something, 

doesn't  it?     Not  everyone  could  have  achieved  that. 

His  women,  about  whom  so  much  has  been  written, 
are  important  mile-posts  on  the  way  to  his  goal.  From 
the  .Waitress  to  the  Actress  to  the  Debutante,  they  each 
represent  forward  steps. 

His  career  has  been  gone  over  countless  times  in  the 
sports  pages,  and  as  such  it's  the  inspiring  but  routine 
story  of  the  poor  boy  who  slugged  his  way  to  a  million. 

I'm  going  to  tell  about  the  women  in  his  life.  There  is, 
I'm  sure,  an  impression  in  the  minds  of  most  people  that 
his  life  is  cluttered  up  with  blondes,  brunettes  and  red- 
heads. Let's  clear  that  up  right  now.  There  have  been 
three  women  who  really  mattered  to  him.  The  newspapers 
have  mentioned  many  more,  but  these  we  can  dismiss. 


because  as  soon  as  a  man  raises  his  head  above  the  crow 
there  are  a  lot  of  ladies  ready  to  sue  him.  One  fadin 
actress  sued  him  for  breach  of  promise,  got  her  name  i 
the  papers  and  then  on  the  strength  of  the  publicity  wer 
on  a  lucrative  vaudeville  tour.  The  suit,  incidentally,  wa 
forgotten. 

But  to  get  back  to  the  three  women — 

The  first  was  the  Waitress.  She  was  Olive  Bed 
blonde,  flip  and  cute,  and  she  worked  in  Max's  home  towi 
Livermore,  California.  Maxie  was  geared  to  her  strid 
in  those  days.  He  was  a  big,  magnificently  proportione 
giant  who  worked  in  his  father's  butcher  shop.  He  wa 
really  in  love  with  Olive  then,  she  belonged  to  those  day 
when  he  worked  in  the  butcher  shop.    But  when  thos

Max  has  a  quick  brain  when  it  comes  to  tossing  off  witty 
sallies,  too!  Right,  at  the  Roney  Plaza  Cabana  Sun  Club,

werful  arms  and  rippling  muscles  started  to  move  Baer 
t  of  <the  Small  Town  class,  he  shifted  gear  to  a  faster 
j«d  and  Olive  could  not  keep  pace  with  him. 
Max  had  never  known  life  outside  his  home  town. 
)w,  as  he  started  to  travel  around  the  country  in  boxing 
■its.  he  saw  for  the  first  time  the  glamorous,  perfectly 
lered  lives  of  people  who .  had  money  and  belonged 
a  high  social  set.  Max  wanted  to  have  money,  and  lie 
nted  to  Belong. 

But  his  career  was  a  few  steps  ahead  of  his  social  life, 
at  beautifully  built  body  with  shoulders  like  prize  bul- 
la lumbered  ludicrously  across  a  waxed  drawing-room

It  was  the  Second  Woman  who 
taught  him.  She  was  Dorothy 
Dunbar,  an  actress,  and  he  met 
her  in  Reno  where  she  was  getting 
a  divorce.  At  first  sight  she  and 
Max  might  seem  an  oddly  assorted 
pair.  She  was  eleven  years  older 
than  he,  a  worldly,  independently 
wealthy  woman  of  breeding  and  ed- 
ucation. He  was — well,  he  was  still 
Maxie  the  pug — big,  uneducated, 
gawky,  with  very  little  money  and 
a  loud,  rowdy  sense  of  humor. 

What  could  have  attracted  them 
to  each  other,  then?  Well,  to 
Dorothy  Dunbar,, he  was  like  a 
playful,  affectionate  Great  Dane 
who  would  follow  her  blindly.  He 
was  in  awe  of  her  and  she  knew 
it.  With  his  boyish  good  nature, 
his  abject  devotion  to  her  and  his 
complete  willingness  to  put  him- 
self in  her  hands,  she  felt  that  she 
could  smooth  away  the  rough 
edges  of  his  personality  and  make 
him  a  social  success. 

To  Max  Dorothy,  with  her 
poise  and  sophistication.  her 
knowledge  of  the  world  he  craved 
to  enter,  was  a  thrilling  person. 
So  they  were  married. 

Then  began  the  social  education 
which  transformed  the  two  hun- 
dred pound  heavyweight  into  a 
man-about-town.  Dorothy  taught 
him  how  to  order  from  a  French 
menu,  how  to  eat  endive,  how  to 
bow  over  a  woman's  hand  instead 
of  slapping  her  jovially  on  the 
back,  and  made  him  add  a  morning 
cutaway  suit  and  silk  hat  to  his 
wardrobe.  And  Max  was  an 
eager  and  absorl>ed  student  of  all  such  matters. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  in  his  enthusiasm  he  went  slightly 
haywire.  When  he  came  to  New  York  he  presented  an 
outlandish  appearance  that  had  the  town  gasping.  He  hit 
the  city  in  a  16-cylinder  car  with  shrieking  sirens,  a 
secretary,  a  valet  and  a  host  of  hangers-on.  At  a  morn- 
ing breakfast  date  where  he  was  to  meet  lack  Dempsev 
m  a  small  restaurant,  he  appeared  in  striped  trousers, 
formal  morning  suit,  cane— and  >.:ik  topper  over  a  black 
eye ! 

But  the  marriage  of  Max  and  Dorothy  was  scheduled 
to  go  on  the  rocks.  Max  was  getting  ahead  too  fast  in 
his  boxing  career.  He  had  now  t>ecome  the  foremost  con- 
tender for  the  heavyweight  title  {Continued  on  /></,/«•  60)

Radio  enthusiasts,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Cugat  tune  in  on  their  favorite  pro- 
grams in  their  charming  hotel  suite. 


Every  dog  has  his  day — in  the  bowl! 
But  our  guess  is  that  this  canine 
would   be   very   willing   to   miss  itl 


Despite  their  determination,  Fate  engineered  tb 


ry  Y  every  law  of  love  and  romance  they  shouldn't  he 
married  at  all,  really. 

The  Cugats,  I  mean.  Xavier,  handsome  tango 
king  of  the  Let's  Dance  program ;  and  Carmen,  his 
flashing-eyed  Spanish  songstress. 

Cupid  gave  them  up  as  a  had  job,  after  two  years'  try- 
ing. Cupid's  efforts  weren't  a  drop  in  the 
bucket.  It  took  things  to  get  that  romance 
going  !  Precisely :  Gary  Cooper,  a  war  in 
Morocco,  a  storm  over  the  Pacific,  three 
tickets  to  the  opera  and  a  case  of  mumps ! 

All  those  things — for  the  sake  of  one 
romance ! 

Xo.  the  Cugats  shouldn't  be  Mr.  and  Mrs.  When  they 
first  met  in  Hollywood  you  couldn't  have  given  either  one 
the  other  on  a  platinum  tray,  despite  the  fact  that  Xavier 
was  attractive,  wealthy,  one  of  Europe's  most  outstand- 
ing young  concert  violinists ;  that  Carmen  was  talented 
enough  to  be  soloist  for  the  Chicago  Symphony,  lovely 
enough  to  be  movie  stand-in  for  Dolores  Del  Rio. 

You  see,  the  Cugats  didn't  want  to  fall  in  love — they 
had  to!    Fate  engineered  that  romance,  in  spite  of  them. 


Do  you  realize  that  same  thing  could  happen  to  yc 
Do  you  realize  you  may  be  made  to  marry  a  certain  p 
son  ?    Do  you  believe  in  fate  ?  .  .  . 

Xavier  Cugat,  aged  twenty-five,  was  dead  set  on 
idea  of  Incoming  Spain's  Fritz  Kreisler.    A  fiddle  an< 
bow  and  four  or  five  stiff  Beethoven  sonatas  were 
idea  of  the  way  to  have  a  lot  of  fun  j 
any  old  evening.    And  to  tell  the  trt 
Xavier  Cugat,  aged  twenty-five,  was 
doing  so  badly  for  himself.    When  he  \ 
six  he'd  been  packed  off  from  his  home 
Barcelona    to    study    under    the  gr 
teachers  of  Madrid,  Berlin,  Vienna, 
his  tenth  birthday  he  made  a  sensational  debut  with 
Habaha  Cuba  Grand  Opera  Company.    And  from  tl 
time  forth  there  was  no  stopping  him.  He  concert-toui 
practically  every  world  capital  every  year.  He  becanx 
famous  artistic  and  financial  success. 

We  find  him  in  Hollywood,  then,  in  1928.  Taking 
year  out  to  be  the  all-important  musical  director  for  VV 
ner  Brothers  films.  Xavier  Cugat — darkly  handsoi

With  Xavier's  fiddle  and  Carmen's 
song  the  Cugats  enjoy  many  a  happy 
hour  of  marvelous  music  together. 


Margo,  of  Rhumba  fame,  makes 
merry  with  Godpapa  Cugat  while  he 
works  on  one  of  his  clever  caricatures. 


fcmance  between  Xavier  Cugat  and  Carmen  Castillia 


y  by  the  few  whom  he  chose  to  invite  within  the  walls 
his  palatial  hilltop  mansion.    A  young  genius  in  love 
h  music — and  ambition.    A  voting  genius  who  should 
>e  been  in  love  with  love. 

Jarmen  Castillia,  aged  twentv-one.  was  dead  set  on 
ommg  Mexico's  Lily  Pons.  An  aria  in  C,  the  foot- 
its  of  Carnegie  Hall  and  a  daily  stretch  of  breathing 
Tcises  constituted  the  only  life  she  knew  or  reallv 
ed  about.  At  school  in  Mexico  Citv  she'd  won  a 
olarship  to  study  voice  in  New  York'.    Bv  the  time 

was  nineteen  she'd  guest-starred  with  'just  about 
ry  symphony  in  the  United  States,  liad  appeared  with 

Chicago  Civic  and  Los  Angeles  Opera  Companies. 
Ve  find  her  in  Hollywood,  then,  in  1928.  Begin- 
?  in  pictures  as  singing  double  for  a  number  of  stars, 
jd-m  for  Dolores  Del  Rio.  Beginning.  Hollywood 
I,  sensationally.  The  girl  would'  undoubtedly'  l>e  a 
jtjllating  success.  For  she  was  slender  and  gay  and 
ay  beautiful;  and  she  had  a  voice  sweet  enough  to 
Sr  nightinSaIe  tuck  its  hea<l  un(ler  its  wing.  Carmen 
nlha — lovely  Mexican  maid  with  a  promising  screen 
ire.     She  knew  that,  and  she  was  serious  alxnU  it. 


And  that  was  the  reason  she.  too.  avoided  all  romantic 
interference  with  her  career. 

So  you  can  see  how  much  chance  Cupid  had  of  accom- 
plishing anything  on  the  day  Gary  Cooper  was  destined 
to  walk  on  to  the  "Ramona"  set  and  stop  to  sav  hello  to 
Carmen  at  the  precise  moment  when  Xavier  stopped  to 
say  hello  to  Gary.  The  gentleman  from  Montana  intro- 
duced them— and  zing  went  the  strings  of  two  more 
hearts!  For  you  have  to  hand  one  thing  to  Cupid  ro- 
mantic interference  or  not— there  may  lie  lots  01  love 
affairs  he  can't  finish,  but  there  aren't  very  many  he  can't 
at  least  begin  ! 

That  night,  very  late  that  night,  something  happened 
It  had  been  a  lovely  evening.  Spring.  And  a  funny  little 
lemon-drop  moon  that  kept  getting  tangled  in  a  skyful  of 
cotton  blossoms.  And  dew  for  tinsel  trimming  on  a  girl's 
misty  black  hair,  on  the  ruffles  of  her  organdv  evening 
gown.  They  sat  in  wicker  chairs  on  Carmen's 'lawn  and 
talked  in  hushed  voices  until  almost  davbreak.  A  f>ov 
who  never  before  had  told  anvonc  the  things  that  lav 
closest  to  his  heart  spoke  long  and  seriously  to  the  girl 
beside  him.    A  girl  touched  (Continued  oh  paqc  57)

THE  THRILLING  ADVENTURE 


A  sailor  stole  Rusty  and  ran 
swiftly   away   with  him. 


Mason  made  Elmer  climb 
aloft    in    a    fearful  storm. 


Old  Murphy  helped  Elmer 
drag  Rusty  up  into  the  boat. 


SJUuMtaUd  Ity  (Jim  KaLly 

— from  "The  Adventures  of  Grandpa  Burton" 
as  told  to  his  six-year-old  grandson,  Bobby — 
Every  Friday  afternoon  at  5:15  p.m.,  EDST, 
on  a  national  network  (Copyrighted  by  Bill  Baar) 

/^OBBY  LOVES  to  listen  to  Grandpa 
Burton's  stories.  Grandfathers  are 
such  jolly  people.  And  they've  had 
time  to  do  so  many  exciting  things. 

This  is  the  story  Grandpa  Burton  told 
Bobby  about  going  to  sea  on  a  whaler, 
with  his  dog(  Rusty,  and  his  friend, 
Slim.  Grandpa  was  only  fifteen  then. 

And  this  is  how  it  all  happened. 
Elmer  (that's  Grandpa  Burton's  real 
name)  and  Slim  and  Rusty  were  walk- 
ing along  a  wharf  at  Vancouver,  in 
British  Columbia,  when  a  sailor  from 
one  of  the  ships  seized  Rusty  and  ran 
off  with  him. 

Of  course  Elmer  and  Slim  raced 
after  the  sailor,  who  ran  aboard  "The 
Penguin,"  a  whaling  ship  tied  up  at 
the  dock.  Elmer  told  the  captain  a 
sailor  had  stolen  his  dog.  And  just 
then  they  heard  Rusty  barking. 

The  captain  took  them  below,  and 
they  found  that  the  sailor,  whose  name 
was  Mason,  had  shut  Rusty  up  in  his 
locker. 

Captain  Harper  made  Mason  give 
Rusty  back  to  Elmer.  He  was  very 
angry  with  the  sailor,  and  would  have 
fired  him,  but  he  needed  all  the  men 


he  had  for  his  whaling  voyage.  He 
asked  the  boys  if  they  would  like  to  go 
along,  too. 

Elmer  and  Slim  thought  it  would,  be 
very  exciting  to  go  whaling,  so  they 
stayed  aboard  "The  Penguin."  They 
liked  Captain  Harper  and  he  was  kind 
to  them.  But  Mason  was  very  mean 
to  the  boys.  He  made  them  do  hard 
and  dangerous  jobs — take  heavy  bar- 
rels below  deck,  and  climb  the  rigging 
when  a  storm  was  raging. 

But  the  boys  didn't  dare  tell  the  cap- 
tain how  brutal  Mason  was  to  them, 
because  he  threatened  to  throw  Rusty 
overboard  if  they  did.  And  naturally 
you're  not  going  to  let  anything  hap- 
pen to  your  dog! 

Mason  had  pretended  to  like  Rusty. 
He  told  the  captain  he  had  taken  him 
because  he  wanted  him  for  a  mascot. 
But  now  he  told  the  boys  he  had  stolen 
him  because  he  wanted  to  sell  him! 

"Remember,"  he  snarled,  "the  first 
time  I  see  or  hear  o'  ye  complainin' 
about  anythin'  to  the  captain,  the 
dog'll  pay!" 

One  day  they  went  out  in  a  small 
boat  after  a  whale.  They  took  lances, 
rope,  harpoons  and  a  marker  from  the 
ship.  Mason  ordered  Elmer  to  come 
along.  Then,  when  they  were  some 
distance  away  from  the  ship,  they  saw 
Rusty  swimming  after  them. 

Mason  didn't  want  to  save  the  dog, 
but  Murphy,  another  sailor,  helped 
Elmer  pull  Rusty  into  the  boat. 

Then  they  sighted  a  whale!  Mason

OF  THREE  ON  A  WHALER 


"Pull  up  close,  so  I  can  finish 
him,"  Mason  shouted. 


Murphy  gave  the  word,  and 
they  jumped   into  the  sea. 


"We're  all  going  to  be 
friends    now,    aren't  we?" 


threw  the  harpoon  into  its  back.  Then 
Murphy  and  Elmer  and  the  other  sai- 
lors kept  rowing,  while  Mason  paid 
out  the  rope  and  the  whale  leaped 
and  thrashed  about. 

"Pull  up  alongside  the  whale,  so  I 
can  finish  him,"  Mason  shouted. 

"It  isn't  safe  to  go  near  him  while 
he's  still  fighting,"  Murphy  warned 
him.  "Ye  should  be  waitin'  till  the 
whale  is  tired  out." 

"I'll  do  this  my  own  way!"  Mason 
I  snarled  angrily.   And  he  would  not 
i  even  listen  to  Captain  Harper,  calling 
from  the  ship. 

'Let  go  the  rope,  Mason!"  the  cap- 
tain yelled.   "Don't  get  too  close!" 

But  Mason  pretended  he  could  not 
iear. 

Then  Murphy  pulled  out  his  sharp 
cnife  and  cut  the  rope! 

Mason  was  furious.    He  knocked 
Murphy  down  into  the  bottom  of  the 
boat  Then  he  threw  another  harpoon 
nto  the  whale  and  made  the  men  row 
:loser  to  him. 

Soon  the  whale  began  pulling  them 
by  the  rope  attached  to  the  harpoon, 
pie  boat  bounded  through  the  waves, 
oward  the  ship. 

'Can  ye  swim,  Elmer?"  Murphy 
isked  him. 

'Yes."  Elmer  looked  anxious.  What 
/as  going  to  happen?  Then  he  saw — 
ley  were  going  to  crash  into  the  side 
f  the  ship! 

"When  I  give  ye  the  word,"  Murphy 
;|aid,  "jump  overboard  with  Rusty!" 


In  a  minute  Murphy  gave  the  word, 
and  they  all  jumped.  Then  Rusty  dis- 
appeared. Elmer  looked  around,  fright- 
ened. Where  was  she?  Then  he  saw 
her.  She  was  swimming  and  holding 
Mason's  head  above  water!  Mason 
was  unconscious.  He  had  caught  his 
feet  in  the  rope,  and  when  the  boat 
crashed  into  the  ship  he  had  fallen  and 
hit  his  head. 

Another  boat  was  lowered  from  the 
ship  to  lift  the  swimmers  from  the 
water.  And  soon  they  all  were  safe 
on  deck  again. 

Captain  Harper  spoke  angrily  to 
Mason.  "You  have  this  dog  to  thank 
for  your  being  here,"  he  said.  "Rusty 
has  saved  your  life." 

Mason  was  truly  sorry,  when  he 
realized  how  near  he  had  come  to 
drowning.  He  apologized  to  the  cap- 
tain and  to  the  boys  and  Rusty.  "W e're 
all  going  to  be  friends  from  now  on,  I 
hope,"  he  said.  "What  do  you  say, 
Rusty?" 

And  Rusty  barked:  "Yes." 

After  that  they  harpooned  many 
more  whales,  and  the  boys  earned 
some  money  for  each  one.  And  Mason 
never  was  mean  to  them  or  to  Rusty 
again.  He  was  a  real  friend.  And 
Elmer  and  Slim  were  glad  they  had 
sailed  on  the  whaler. 

And  then  one  day  they  sailed  back 
to  Vancouver  again.  They  were  glad 
to  be  home.  But  they  were  glad,  too, 
that  they  had  had  such  a  wonderful 
adventure  aboard  the  whaling  ship.

stuffed  dogs,  500  dresses,  50  pairs  of  shoes  and  2( 
hats!  But  we  don't  envy  her  all  those  things.  Nc 
sir!  You  can  wear  only  one  dress  and  one  pair  o 
shoes  at  a  time  on  one  little  body  and  two  little 
feet.  And  one  head  only  needs  one  hat — and  lote 
of  times  not  even  one!  And  one  doll  is  all  you  car

is  Rose  Curley,  and  she  is  a  very  sweet  little  girl 
She  is  very  proud  of  her  Lucky  Fellow  Club 


Here  is  The  Singing  Lady.  Don't  you  love  her? 
We  do!  She  tells  such  pleasant  stories  and  sings 
such  sweet  songs.  She  has  two  little  children  oi 
her  own,  a  boy  and  a  girl,  so  she  knows  what 
boys  and  girls  like  to  hear.  When  she  was  a 
little  girl,  she  and  her  friends  used  to  act  plays 
together.  They  had  an  old  music  box  for  their 
orchestra.  Now  she  plays  the  piano  for  her  own 
songs.  She  is  very  pretty,  too,  with  soft,  reddish- 
brown  hair  and  blue  eyes.  And  she  is  five  feet 
and  two  inches  tall.  She  likes  apples,  nuts,  choco 
late  and  milk.  Her  real  name  is  Ireene  Wicker. 
She  is  "Jane,"  too,  on  the  Judy  and  Jane  program. 


This,  fans,  is  a  picture  of  the  youngest  orchestra 
director  in  radio.  His  name  is  Roland  Liss,  and  he 
is  all  of  two  years  old!  It's  a  good  thing  to  get 
started  early  on  your  career.  Roland  hasn't 
wasted  much  time,  has  he?  Roland  leads  a 
juvenile  band,  each  Saturday  morning,  on  the 
NBC  Children's  Hour.  Milton  J.  Cross  is  the  an- 
nouncer of  the  program.  Mr.  Cross  is  quite  a  few 
years  older  than  Roland,  and  quite  a  few  feet 
taller,  but  just  the  same,  he  likes  to  discuss  music 
with  the  young  orchestra  leader,  and  get  his  ad- 
vice on  conducting  his  new  Tuesday  afternoon 
"Nursery  Rhymes"  program.  Have  you  heard  it?

^^REETINGS,  Friends  and  Radio  Fans: 
f ^  You  may  recall  vaguely  those  "good  old  days" 
of  Auction  Bridge,  before  the  complications  of 
Contract  came  along?  Keeping  score  in  Auction, 
you  remember,  was  to  Contract  scoring  what  child's 
arithmetic  is  to  higher  mathematics !  Why,  the  Contract 
player  nowadays,  who  speaks  glibly  of 
thousands,  would  scorn  the  little  tens  and 
twenties  "for  honors"  which  we  so  care- 
fully jotted  down.  And  I  dare  say  that 
this  present-day  Einstein  of  the  score 
cards  has  forgotten  (if  ever  he  knew) 
what  "Easy  Aces"  meant  at  the  Bridge 
table.  On  the  other  hand  I'm  sure  he'd 
be  thoroughly  familiar  with  that  term  as  the  descriptive 
name  of  one  of  the  most  consistently  popular  hours  on 
the  air.  When  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Goodman  Ace  started  to 
broadcast — five  years  ago — "Easy  Aces"  meant  to 
Bridge  players  that  ace  honors  were  "even".  And  Ace 
honors  are  even  to  this  day.  if  you  should  ask  Good- 
man and  Jane's  enthusiastic  listeners. 

Yes,  there's  something  about  Jane's  middle  western 
twang  and  natural  way  of  speaking  that  has  amused 
countless  thousands.    And  there  is  quite  as  much  to  ad- 
mire and  laugh  at  in  the  splendid  scripts  written  as  well 
SO 


Mr.  and 


attCfj 


Wood 


as  acted  by  Goodman  Ace  for  their  three-times-weekly 
broadcasts.  But  what  we  are  more  interested  in  at  tht 
moment  is  this  pair's  well  earned  reputation  as  amusing 
and  adept  host  and  hostess  in  their  comfortable  New 

York  home. 

Mrs.  Ace  (that's  really  their  name,  you 
know)  live  in  a  swanky  apartment  hotel 
From  the  windows  of  their  rooms  you 
overlook  the  farthest  reaches  of  Centra! 
Park.  Their  apartment  is  not  preten- 
tious, however — it  couldn't  be,  for  these 
two  are  as  unaffected,  natural  and  un 
spoiled  as  it  is  possible  to  be.  Jane,  trirr 
and  smart  in  a  man-tailored  suit  anc 
shirtwaist,  showed  me  their  quarters,  which  included  s 
visit  to  the  small  but  complete  kitchenette  with  whicl 
such  hotel  suites  are  equipped.  You'd  be  surprised  whal 
swell  meals  can  come  forth  from  such  small  quarters— 
in  fact  you'll  be  not  only  surprised  but  delighted  to  learn 
as  I  did,  about  the  simply  delicious,  deliciously  simple 
dishes  that  are  concocted  in  Jane's  two-by-four  kitchen 
"There  are  just  two  questions  I'm  afraid  you're  going 
to  ask  me,"  Jane  said  as  we  returned  to  the  living-room 
with  its  comfortable  furnishings,  many  lamps  and  Mr 
Ace's  efficient-looking  desk.   (Continued  on  page  78)

SUMMER  EYE-OPENERS 

PROBABLY  your  face  is  a  picture  in  your 
mirror  at  home — but  how  does  it  look  on 
the  beach  in  the  sun?  You  have  only  to  look 
at  your  friends  to  know!  You  can't  trust 
nature  unadorned!  Sunlight  makes  eyes,  es- 
pecially, look  pale,  small  and  "squinched 
up."  But  that's  easy  to  remedy!  Slip  your 
eyelashes  into  KURLASH1  (It  costs  only  $1.) 
A  few  seconds'  pressure  curls  them  into 
lovely  fringed  eye  frames  which  catch  en- 
trancing shadows  making  eyes  look  far  larger 
and  brighter. 


Su/n  Shaded 


So  much  color  and  sparkle  in  the  sunlight! 
What  can  you  do  to  keep  your  eyes  from 
looking  faded  and  "washed  out"  in  con- 
trast? This:  apply  a  tiny  bit  of  green  or 
blue  SHADETTE  ($1)  on  the  upper  lids  to 
reflect  the  colors  of  the  landscape!  So  subtly, 
it  restores  the  lovely  color,  depth,  size  of 
your  eyes! 


Mid  Shadow 


Beauty  on  the  beach  is  simply  the  art  of 
looking  natural.  Certainly  eyelashes  that 
disappear  in  the  sun  must  be  darkened! 
Liquid  LASHTINT  (it's  waterproof )  does  the 
trick  so  convincingly!  Use  it  more  heavily 
in  the  evening.  Black — brown — or  blue.  $1. 


Jane  Heath  will  gladly  give  you  personal  advice  on  eye 
beauty  ij  you  write  her  a  note  care  oj  Dept.  G-8,  The

on  the  Manhattan  merry-go-round. 
On  the  last  day  with  no  johs  and 
no  promises,  she  was  ready  to  go 
back  to  Pittsburg  when  she  chanced 
to  pass  a  theatre  in  which  amateur 
auditions  were  being  conducted.  She 
went  in,  won  a  place  on  the  show,  and 
the  listeners  voted  her  the  grand 
prize.  That  in  turn  attracted  the  at- 
tention of  a  famous  vocal  teacher 
who  is  now  coaching  her.  She  went 
into  vaudeville  for  five  weeks  which 
netted  her  three  hundred  dollars. 
She  is  on  her  way  up. 

But  what  about  the  use  of  that  ter- 
rible, terrible  word?  We  go  back  to 
the  night  Major  Bowes  sat  at  his 
loudspeaker  listening  to  the  new  am- 
ateur hour  he  had  introduced  on  a 
tiny  station  of  which  he  was  the  man- 
ager. He  had  asked  a  number  of  his 
friends  to  listen,  too. 

A  performer  flatted  a  few  notes, 
muffed  her  words,  and  got  the  gong. 

"Too  bad,  lady."  the  master  of 
ceremonies  said,  "but  that  was  pretty 
lousy." 

Xow  Major  Bowes  is  a  connoisseur 
of  art.  a  polished  and  cultured  man 
of  the  world.  His  best  friends  were 
listening  to  this  program  and  he 
knew  their  ears  were  as  offended  as 
were  his  own.  He  resolved  forth- 
with to  take  over  the  master-minding 
on  that  pet  program  himself.  Which 
he  did  the  following  week  .  .  .  and 
started  the  furious  fad  that  opened 
the  gates  of  radio  to  little  Susan 
Gage. 

For  a  long  time  little  Xancy  Den- 
nis has  been  brightening  up  things 
around  her  home  in  New  York's 
Bronx  with  her  cannon-cracker 
piano  technique.  Then  she  bright- 
ened up  a  four-minute  interval  on 
the  Fred  Allen  show.  Today,  she 
is  a  professional  brightener.  for  her 
dancing  fingers  have  been  hired  by 
an  advertiser  on  WGN,  Chicago. 

And  here's  something  not  six  fel- 
ttows  in  radio  know :  When  she  got 
khe  job,  she  didn't  have  the  money  to 
pay  her  way  out  to  the  Windy  City,

Still,  as  you  were  about  to  say,  other  maestros  are 
equally  sympathetic  with  young  talent.  What  is  unusual 
here  is  the  number  of  the  stars  of  the  first  magnitude, 
some  developed,  others  simply  engaged,  who  have  made 
their  debut  with  Vallee.  These  six  years  close  to  a  thou- 
sand have  been  guest  stars — and  these  thousand  are  the 
Burke's  Peerage  and  Who's  Who  of  the  entertainment 
world.  They  are  the  big  names  in  radio,  Hollywood,  the 
legitimate  theater,  the  opera,  night  clubs,  vaudeville.  It 
has  become  a  distinction  to  play  with  Rudy  on  the 
Fleischmann  hour.  Leslie  Howard,  for  example,  ac- 
cepted a  thousand  dollars  to  appear  on  the  program.  Any- 
one else,  Howard's  managers  assured  me,  would  have 
had  to  pay  at  least  three  times  as  much  for  his  services. 

I  am  told  there  are  not  less  than  sixty-seven  vaudeville 
acts  now  touring  the  country — most  of  them  headliners — 
who  bill  themselves :  "Heard  on  the  Rudy  Vallee  Pro- 
gram." When  these  and  other  vaudevillians  hit  New 
York  for  the  annual  brush-up  on  gags  and  songs — they 
scramble  for  Vallee's  office.  An  appearance  over  his 
mike  and  they  are  made  for  another  year. 

Joe  Penner,  before  he  was  discovered  by  Rudy,  was 
simply  a  Keith  Circuit  comic  earning  five  hundred  dol- 
lars a  week.  The  maestro  liked  his  style,  invited  him  to 
an  audition.  Joe  said :  "Aw,  I  don't  wanna  come."  Joe's 
manager  also  said  no.  They  believed  Joe  was  funny  be- 
cause of  his  face  and  his  pantomime,  hence  sure  to  flop 
in  radio.  But  Rudy  persisted.  For  two  months  he  laid 
siege,  and  finally  won.  That's  how  a  duck  became 
famous !  In  two  years  Rudy  boosted  Joe's  drawing 
power  so  high  that  when  he  returned  to  vaudeville,  he 
was  able  to  command  twelve  thousand  dollars  a  week — 
or  exactly  twenty-four  times  as  much  as  he  got  before. 

Eddie  Cantor,  of  course,  was  an  established  star  on 
the  stage  but  he  made  his  network  debut  on  the  Vallee 
program.  The  story  there  is  that  he  kidded  Rudy  about 
the  grapefruit  episode,  something  no  one  had  dared  to 
do  before.    You  may  remember  that  Harvard  boys  tossed 


grapefruit  at  Rudy  when  he  appeared  in  Cambridge  for 
a  performance.  Cantor  cracked  that  Rudy  had  courage 
to  go  to  Florida:  "Think  of  all  the  grapefruit  they  have 
doztm  there!" 

Mae  West  made  her  first  and  up  to  recently  her  only 
radio  appearance  on  this  program.  She  convulsed  lis- 
teners by  using  a  lorgnette  to  read  her  script.  "Don't  you 
love  it?  Mae  using  a  lorgnette !"  Item:  she  didn't  do  it 
to  entertain,  she  uses  one  all  of  the  time. 

When  Beatrice  Lillie  sang  her  "Way  Down  South" 
song,  Rudy  laughed  so  hard  he  fell  off  his  stool. 

Gertrude  Niesen,  Katharine  Hepburn,  Helen  Hayes, 
Lou  Holtz,  Kate  Smith,  hundreds  of  others,  all  miked  for 
the  first  time  on  this  miracle  Thursday.  Quartets,  trios, 
choruses,  instrumentalists,  men  in  the  news  like  Gene 
Sarazen  and  Max  Baer — all  got  radio  baptism  there. 

Burns  and  Alien  were  among  them.  Later  Gracie  re- 
turned as  a  guest  artist.  Thereby  hangs  a  tale  well  worth 
telling,  because  it  concerns  the  only  time  in  these  six 
years  when  Rudy's  program  was  off  the  air.  It  was  off 
less  than  a  minute  but  that  doesn't  spoil  the  story. 

That  was  about  the  time,  remember,  when  Gracie  was 
touring  the  programs  looking  for  her  lost  brother.  She's 
a  CBS  star  and  so,  naturally  NBC  wasn't  very  enthu- 
siastic about  this  lost  brother  stunt.  The  network  didn't 
mind  Gracie,  they  objected  to  her  using  their  time  to  plug 
a  program  on  the  rival  chain.  At  least  that's  the  story 
I  heard.  The  script  with  the  lost  brother  stuff  in  it  was 
turned  back  to  Gracie  for  re-writing.  Gordon  Thomp- 
son, producer  of  Rudy's  program,  was  informed  that  the 
subject  was  taboo,  that  a  new  script  must  be  written.  It 
was  and  won  the  approval  of  the  officials. 

O.  K.  so  far.  But  Rudy  somehow  still  had  the  old 
lost  brother  lines  in  front  of  him  and  when  Gracie  moved 
closer  to  the  mike,  Mr.  Vallee  began : 

"What's  this  I  hear,  Gracie,  about  your  lost  brother?" 

Click!  went  the  switches  and  Rudy  was  off  the  air! 
The  actors  knew  nothing  about  it.  {Continued  on  page  62) 


Mary  Pickford  welcomed  Rudy  when  he 
went  to  Hollywood  to  make  Sweet  Music. 


He  sang  fourteen  songs  on  his  first  pro- 
gram.    Now  he  sings  only  four  or  five.

her  check  against  a  brown  tweed  shoukler 
to  tell  a  boy  about  her  dreams. 

And  when  they  said  goodnight,  closely, 
sweetly,  it  seemed  to  the  boy  and  girl 
that  the  whole  world  sang.  Something 
had  happened. 

Love! 

Oddly,  their  letters  crossed  the  next 
afternoon.  Special  delivery,  both  of  them. 
His.  masculinely  scrawled  on  studio  sta- 
tionery.   Hers,  briefer,  on  pale  blue  linen. 

Daybreak  had  come  to  bring  no  sleep 
to  Carmen  and  Xavier ;  only  to  fizzle,  as 
daybreak  can,  the  heavenly  froth  of  a 
moonlit  night.  In  the  bright  glare  of 
calm  thinking  their  brief  romance  seemed 
to  them  both  a  foolish,  dangerous  frill 
for  lives  primarily  concerned  with  am- 
bition. Romance  and  ambition  didn*t  mix, 
that  was  all,  particularly  in  Hollywood. 
Thinking  it  over  apart  the  two  decided 
one  thing :  that  love  wouldn't  fit  into 
their  individual  plans  for  success. 

Their  letters  crossed.  Unknowing  that 
the  other  ivas  doing  the  same  thing  at 
the  same  time,  each,  before  going  to  sleep, 
wrote  the  other  that  they  must  never  meet 
again. 

In  their  own  fashion  each  had  definitely 
asked  :  "Let's  not  fall  in  love." 

They  didn't.  For  more  than  a  year 
they  frequently  worked  on  the  same  lot 
without  so  much  as  a  casual  greeting  be- 
tween them.    At  first — it  was  hard.  But 


later,  too  many  things  were  happening. 
Carmen  had  become  a  featured  player  in 
her  own  right.  Xavier  was  working 
musical  wonders  on  the  most  important 
pictures  in  production.  Both  were  ac- 
complishing what  they  had  set  out  to  ac- 
complish, which  made  their  separate  lives 
hectic  and  swift  and  full  of  excitement. 
And  really,  really  and  truly,  love  didn't 
matter  much  after  a  while.  Moonlit 
nights  are  easily  forgotten  in  the  crush  of 
fast  achievement. 

Then  a  windy  November  came  in  1929. 
A  stock  market  crashed  and  when  it  did 
it  carried  with  it  just  about  every  cent 
Xavier  Cugat  owned.  On  the  heels  of  a 
new  depression  the  fad  for  musical  pic- 
tures petered  right  out.  And  very  sud- 
denly a  young  musical  genius  found  him- 
self both  penniless  and  jobless. 

Things  were  going  badly  for  Carmen 
Castillia,  too.  By  one  of  the  fates  of 
picture  work,  her  parts  had  been  getting 
poorer,  less  frequent.  Her  mother  had 
been  forced  by  financial  circumstances  to 
come  to  her  daughter  for  support ;  with 
her  she  brought  an  orphan  child  but  re- 
cently adopted  before  Sefior  Castillia's 
death.  The  child's  name  was  Margo. 
Yes,  Margo,  the  ten-year-old  Mexican 
girl  who  was  to  grow  up  to  become 
Margo,  the  recent  screen  sensation  of 
"Crime  Without  Passion,"  and  "Rhumba"! 
And  the  day  after  the  mother  and  Margo 


arrived  in  California  Carmen  was  re- 
leased by  her  studio.  And  >he  hadn't  any 
savings. 

Accordingly,  two  ambitions  that  had 
been  important  enough  to  separate  a  boy 
and  girl  were  lost.  I^ost  in  two  desper- 
ate struggles  to  survive,  to  make  out 
somehow.  Their  only  hope,  the  concert 
stage,  was  feeling  the  depression,  too. 
They  had  to  take  what  they  could  get. 

That  was  the  way  they  chanced  to  meet 
again.  A  musicale  was  being  held  in  Los 
Angeles  for  the  benefit  of  Spanish  sol- 
diers wounded  in  the  Moroccan  War,  and 
a  number  of  local  unemployed  musicians 
were  offered  five  dollars  each  to  take 
part.  Xavier  played  Brahms'  "Lullaby" 
on  his  violin.  Carmen  sang  "La  (Jolan- 
drina"  in  native  Mexican  costume.  She 
looked  very  beautiful  that  night  and 
very  sad.  Xavier  stood  in  the  wings  and 
listened,  as  she  had  done  when  he  was 
on  the  stage. 

But  they  spoke  together  only  briefly 
afterward.  "Why  stop  to  remember 
now?"  both  were  thinking.  "These  are 
no  days  for  love." 

It  might  have  gone  on  that  way  lor 
always.  It  would  have,  probably,  if  a 
whole  lot  of  things  hadn't  upped  and 
happened  at  the  same  time — the  way  things 
do,  if  you  take  your   fatalism  seriously. 

Carmen,  it  seems,  kept  having  a  tougher 
and   tougher   time   of    it.     And   so  did

Xavier.  And  each  of  them  hegan  to  think 
pretty  mucli  about  the  other ;  but  neither 
knew  that  the  other  was  thinking. 

Finally,  one  night,  a  terrific  storm 
raged  over  the  Pacific  and  the  rain  came 
down  in  .Los  Angeles  like  a  million  cloud- 
bursts. Carmen  was  lonely  that  night,  so 
lonely  she  couldn't  stand  it.  And  Xavier, 
sitting  in  a  boarding-house  on  the  other 
side  of  town,  was  lonely,  too.  The  rain, 
black  and  desolate-sounding,  made  a  boy 
and  girl  at  last  do  something  they  should 
have  done  long  before  .  .  . 

Their  letters  crossed  again,  the  very 
next  morning.  During  that  storm  each 
had  written  a  note  to  the  other!  Hers 
asked  him  to  come  to  call.  His  enclosed 
(bought  with  his  last  dollars)  the  finest 
love-offering  he  could  afford — three  pink 
opera  tickets  for  the  girl  he  adored,  her 
mother  and  little  Margo,  to  attend  the 
next  day's  matinee  of  "Carmen". 

The  three  pink  opera  tickets  were  never 
used.  Xavier,  you  see,  rushed  right  over 
to  the  Castillias'  as  soon  as  he  received 
Carmen's  letter.  He  rushed  so  fast,  in 
fact,  he  didn't  realize  that  he  looked 
somewhat  white  around  the  gills  and  that 
his  jaws  were  swelling.  Margo  had  just 
got  the  mumps,  too !  So  Mama  Castillia 
put  her  to  bed  in  one  room  and  Xavier  in 
another. 

And  the  day  the  health  officer  came  to 
take  the  quarantine  off  the  front  door  they 
made  him  a  witness  for  a  wedding ! 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cugat  had  an  idea  in- 
stead of  a  honeymoon.  An  idea  that  they 
were  somehow  going  to  scrape  together 
enough  financial  backing  to  organize  a 
dance  orchestra  which,  unlike  any  then  in 
existence,  would  specialize  solely  in  Span- 
ish and  South  American  tunes.  Mr. 
would  conduct,  and  Mrs.  would  sing. 

The  idea  was  a  glorious  success.  Six 


months  later  the  orchestra  was  playing  i 
Los  Angeles'  fashionable  Cocoanut  Grov< 
Eighteen  months  later  it  had  been  booke 
throughout  the  principal  European  cap: 
tals.  And  now  it  jams  the  supper  root 
of  New  York's  Waldorf-Astoria  Hotc 
stars  on  "Let's  Dance."  Many  of  th 
tangos  and  rhumbas  you  hear  on  th; 
program  are  Xavier's  own  composition: 

It  was  in  their  swanky  suite  at  the  W'a 
dorf  that  I  dropped  in  on  the  Cugats  jui 
the  other  day.  They're  interesting  an 
they're  awfully  in  love  and  they  like  t 
talk  about  it.  And  about  each  other.  Cai 
men  showed  me  some  originals  of  th 
swell  caricatures  Xavier's  done  of  diffei 
ent  radio  stars,  and  the  manuscript  of  th: 
latest  tune,  and  her  favorite  picture  < 
him  wearing  a  sombrero.  And  Xavie 
showed  me,  on  the  sly,  the  necklace  h 
was  going  to  give  her  for  her  birthda; 
and  a  very  Mexican-looking  bedsprea 
she'd  made  for  the  couch  in  his  studi( 
and  her  frisky  new  terrier  she's  traine 
to  behave  in  Spanish  and  completely  mi; 
behave  in  any  other  language. 

W  hile  I  was  there  Margo  came  in  look 
ing  like  a  full-size  Saks  ad  of  the  late; 
Parisian  cri.  Vacationing,  she  was,  bt 
tween  pictures.  But  that  didn't  kee 
Xavier  from  scolding  her  mildly  for  gel 
ting  circles  under  her  eyes.  Xavier  is  ht 
godpapa. 

So  there  you  are  with  a  romance  that 
plain  proof  that  fate  leaves  you  ver 
little  say-so  about  the  person  you're  goin 
to  marry  or  the  person  you've  an  ambitio 
to  become.  You  probably  won't  mind  tha 
though.  The  Cugats  are  just  as  glad  the 
didn't  turn  out  to  be  Kreisler  and  Pons-

anyway,  being  exactly  what  they  are.

that  they  sat  right  there  in  that  booth  till

Tea  was  so  happy  over  it  she  cried  in  her

come  in.  One  of  the  acts  on  the  Strand 
bill  with  Jack  had  been  married  the  w?eek 
before  in  Philly  by  the  mayor.  They 
said  he  was  a  swell  guy,  that  he  married 
you  in  his  Louis  XV  parlor,  that  you 
didn't  have  to  pay  him  any  more  than  you 
would  a  regular  clergyman.  And  those 
details,  as  Jack  related  them  to  Tea  while 
they  huddled  over  a  radiator  in  the  B&O 
terminal  waiting-room,  painted  a  very 
rosy  dream  of  a  very  Ritzy  way  to  have 
a  wedding  on  a  very  small  amount  of  cash. 
That  the  mayor  might  not  think  it  was 
such  a  nifty  idea,  that  they  scarcely  had 
money  enough  to  make  the  trip — those 
items  never  entered  into  consideration.  It 
was  New  Year's  morning,  they  were 
newly  in  love,  and  not  another  thing  in  the 
world  ever  mattered. 

Running  between  snow-flakes  on  their 
way  to  the  train-shed  they  noticed  some- 
thing racing  along  at  their  heels.  A 
funny,  dirty  little  something  with  a  big 
head  and  four  squat  legs  and  a  coat  of 
hair  that  was  undoubtedly  capable  of 
being  fluffy  and  white. 

"Oh,  look,  Jack — a  poor  little  puppy  and 
he's  frozen !" 

They  stopped  and  Jack  leaned  down. 
"Here  boy!"  And  he  patted  him  on  the 
head  while  the  dog,  for  sheer  joy, 
thumped  his  tail  against  one  of  Tea's 
satin  sandals.  In  the  mood  they  were  in, 
that  display  of  pathetic  affection  was  just 
too  much. 

"Let's  take  him  with  us,  couldn't  we, 
Jack?    We'll  name  him—" 
!    "Wedding  Present!    That's  it!" 

Five  minutes  later  Jack,  Tea  and  Wed- 
ding Present  were  joyfully  ensconced 
upon  the  red  plush  elegance  of  a  seat  in 


She  WAS  A  PRETTY  GIRL-that  is, 
she  would  have  been  if  her  skin  weren't 
so  dull  and  washed-out  looking.  It 
made  even  her  hair  and  eyes  look 
faded.  She  was  using  a  flesh  powder 
of  a  popular  make.  It  made  her  skin 
look  positively  chalky!  "\  ou  are  dead- 
ening your  skin  with  that  powder," 
the  Color  Analyst  said.  "See  what 
this  will  do."  He  put  on  Pond's  Rose 
Brunette.  "Why  it's  loveiy!"  she  said 
breathlessly.  Her  skin  glowed  enchant- 
ingly.  Her  hair  looked  like  spun  gold. 
Her  eyes  sparkled  like  jewels! 

To  FIND  OUT  just  what  hidden 
tints  gave  beautiful  blonde  skin  its  enchant- 
ing transparency —  what  gave  brunette  skin 
its  glamorous  warmth.  Pond's  color-ana- 
lyzed the  skin  of  over  200  girls. 

They  found  the  answer  in  the  most  sur- 
prising tints  hidden  in  skin— bright  blue  in 
blonde  skin,  brilliant  green  in  brunette. 
These  tints  they  blended  invisibly  in  Pond's 
new  powder  shades.  Now  no  one  need  have 
dull,  faded  skin.  These  new  shades  bring  to

the  day-coach.  And  the  2 :30  south- 
bound was  pulling  out  of  Jersey  City. 

You  know  what  happened  in  Philadel- 
phia. And  if  you  want  to  know,  it  made 
them  pretty  mad !  Jack  vowed,  holding 
Tea  close  in.  the  taxi  on  the  way  back  to 
the  station,  that  they'd  get  married,  any- 
way— they'd  get  married  quick — and  what's 
more  they'd  have  a  mayor  do  the  job ! 
The  next  biggest  mayor  they  could  find ! 
So  they  got  off  the  train  in  Trenton  at 
eight  o'clock  and  found  the  mayor  and 
he  married  them  and  fed  them  coffee  and 
gave  tliem  his  profoundest  blessing  and 
even  donated  a  few  executive  pats-on-the- 
head  to  their  pup.  Which  is  practically 
everything  but  the  key  to  the  city — and 
my  idea  of  something  nice,  no  less,  in  the 
way  of  a  mayor. 

And  at  sunny  ten  a.  m.,  exactly  twelve 
hours  after  their  first  meeting,  they 
emerged  from  the  Times  Square  subway 
station  in  frost-bitten,  cindery  evening 
clothes — as  happy  a  Mr.  and  Mrs.  as  ever 
set  foot  in  New  York,  and  as  broke. 
Their  assets  totalled  precisely  ten  cents, 
a  loudly  Deflowered  matrimonial  certifi- 
cate, and  one  Wedding  Present. 

But  love,  of  a  sparkling  'teen-year-old 
vintage,  isn't  annoyed  by  economic  trivia. 
They  were  hungry  so  they  bought  two 
Hershey  bars  with  the  dime.  They 
wired  the  great  news  to  their  families 
C.O.D.  Then  they  picked  up  Jack's  things 
at  the  theatre  and  Tea's  from  the  apart- 
ment of  the  girl  friend  she'd  been  visit- 
ing for  the  holidays.  And  by  virtue  of 
four  imposingly  battered  suitcases  they 
checked  in  in  grand  style  at  the  Claridge 
Hotel. 

It  was  all  over,  just  like  that.  Except 
for  the  expected  distant  rumblings  of  the 
senior  Littles  and  the  Hcllmans,  whose 
thunder  gradually  subsided  leaving  Jack 
and  Tea  to  the  glorious  adventure  of 
married  life. 


All  of  which,  I  would  remind  you,  was 
thirteen  whole  years  ago. 

Love's  been  lucky  for  the  Little  Jack 
Littles.  Success  was  no  snap  for  our 
hero  but  he  graduated  by  degrees  from 
vaudeville  to  radio,  to  composing,  to  or- 
chestra conducting.  And  our  heroine  is 
still  not  only  his  heroine,  his  one  and 
only,  but  his  very  efficient  business  man- 
ager as  well.  Between  them  they've  in- 
stalled their  band  at  one  of  Manhattan's 
swankiest  night  sports,  their  home  life 
in  a  honey  of  a  river  penthouse  on  West 
Fiftieth  Street,  and  their  hearts  in  each 
other's.  Permanently.  And  that's  ac- 
complishing a  Little  something  in  thirteen 
years,  if  you  ask  me. 

You'd  like  them  lots.  Jack's  thirty- 
two,  and  even  in  a  tux  he  looks  like  he's 
ten.  Tea's  twenty-nine,  pretty  as  a  pic- 
ture, and  you'd  take  her  any  time  for  a 
fugitive  from  kindergarten.  You  see, 
that's  where  the  Little  Jack  Littles  comes 
in.  He,  five  feet  one.  She,  to  the  tip  of 
his  ear  or  thereabouts.  They  look  like 
a  couple  of  infants.  They're  the  happiest 
folk  you  ever  saw.  They  laugh  and 
wrangle  and  play  together  a  lot.  '  And 
that's  worth  working  for,  that  sort  of 
marriage. 

In  winding  up,  I  find  it  impossible  to 
emit  the  fact  that  Wedding  Present  lived 
in  a  splendor  of  adoration  to  the  juicy 
age  of  seven-plus.  Plus  whatever  ma- 
jority he  had  attained  before  he  bummed 
a  ride  to  Philly  one  night  with  two  kids 
in  search  of  a  mayor. 

Two  kids  who  prove  that  two  lines 
from  ''Hero  and  Leander"  aren't  just  so 
much  broccoli  after  all,  when  you  come 
to  think  about  it : 

Where  both  deliberate  the  love  is  slight. 
IV ho  ever  loved  that  loved  not  at  first 
sight  ?

and  reporters,  invitations,  offers  and  yes- 
men  flooded  his  apartment.  He  grabbed 
up  all  of  the  worth  while  moving  picture 
and  vaudeville  contracts  because,  as  he 
has  often  said,  "I  want  to  make  all  the 
money  I  can  while  I  can."  Which  proves 
that  Maxie  isn't  as  dizzy  as  he's  rumored 
to  be.  But  Dorothy  couldn't  keep  up  with 
the  hectic  pace. 

"I  married  him  to  change  him  into  a 
gentleman,"  she  once  remarked,  "but  the 
most  I  could  make  of  him  was  a  musical 
comedy  actor." 

Max  said  in  return,  "She's  jealous  of 
my  success.  When  I'd  walk  down  the 
street  and  kids  would  ask  for  my  auto- 
graph, she'd  be  bored.  That's  why  I 
got  a  divorce." 

Two  logical  explanations,  you'll  ad- 
mit. But  it  was  more  than  that.  It  was 
the  inevitable  end  of  a  merger  between  a 
restless,  vital  firebrand  and  a  precise, 
correct  lady. 

But  if  the  marriage  was  a  short-lived 
one,  at  least  it  was  a  valuable  experience 
to  Max.  For  it  was  Dorothy  who  had 
instructed  him  in  the  ways  of  society,  and 


if  it  hadn't  been  for  her  teachings  he 
couldn't  have  made  the  plunge  into  the 
social  pool. 

When  Max  became  heavyweight  cham- 
pion he  tackled  society  in  a  big  way.  And 
society,  surprisingly  enough,  went  after 
the  Champ.  The  Four  Hundred  look 
about  for  new  novelties  to  add  zest  to 
their  parties  and  the  colorful  new  Champ 
was  a  good  attraction. 

I  will  say  this  for  Max,  though.  He 
made  quite  a  few  of  society's  astute  mem- 
bers like  him  for  himself  alone.  He  has 
a  gay,  irrepressible  humor  which  stamps 
him  a  regular  with  the  men,  and  he  has 
a  certain  faun-like  quality  which  makes 
him  irresistible  to  the  women. 

As  in  all  the  stages  of  Maxie's  life, 
there  was  a  girl  to  mark  his  advent  into 
this  new  world.  Just  as  there  was  the 
waitress  in  his  ham  and  beans  days,  the 
actress  in  his  educational  period,  so  in 
society  there  was  the  Society  Girl. 

She  is  Mary  Kirk  Brown  and  Max 
met  her  at  a  social  shindig.  She  is  beau- 
tiful, exciting  and  dashing — the  gay,  spir- 
ited type  of  debutante  pictured  in  the

Tonight... make  this 

"arm  hole  odor"test 


No  matter  how  carefully  you  deodorize 
your  underarm — if  any  dampness  col- 
lects on  the  armhole  of  your  dress,  you 
will  have  an  unpleasant  "armhole  odor" 


movies  and  novels.  Max  appealed  to  her 
because  he  was  so  much  fun. 

Mary  and  Max  were  a  new  combina- 
tion to  startle  Park  Avenue.  The  Prize- 
fighter and  the  Lady.  Perhaps  Max  can 
change  it  to  the  Gentleman  and  the 
Lady.  At  any  rate,  they  both  do  the 
swanky  nightclubs  together,  and  a  few 
months  back  when  Max  made  a  one-time 
appearance  on  Al  Jolson's  radio  show, 
Miss  Brown  was  there  to  witness  it. 
From  seeing  both  of  them  in  the  studio 
that  night,  I  could  understand  immediately 
just  why  this  popular  socialite  has  found 
Max — the  Max  Baer  of  peasant  stock — 
such  agreeable  company.  There  he  stood 
on  the  stage,  clothed  elegantly  in  a  full 
dress  suit,  looking,  with  his  powerful 
shoulders  and  tapering  waistline,  like  a 
magnificent  Greek  God.  When  he 
strutted  to  the  mike,  his  big,  jovial  face 
broke  into  an  infectious  grin,  his  eyes 
glowed  and  a  dimple  appeared  in  his 
cheek  (yes,  he  has  a  dimple!)     He  put 

I  on  a  tiny  straw  bonnet  with  ribbons  and 
clowned  before  the  microphone,  to  the  de- 
light of  the  studio  audience.  A  combina- 
tion of  Apollo  and  Harpo  Marx !  I 
looked  at  Miss  Brown  and  she  was  laugh- 
ing delightedly.  Life  could  never  be  dull 
with  Max. 
Max  Baer  has  come  a  long  way  from 

I  his  butcher-boy  days.  He's  mastered 
bridge,  he's  acquired  charming  drawing- 

!  room  manners  and  a  debutante,  he  plays 
golf  with  millionaires  at  exclusive  coun- 
try clubs  and  he's  invited  to  exclusive 
Sands  Point  and  Xew  York  parties.  But 
at  heart  he's  still  the  same  exuberant  fel- 
low who.  followed  by  servants,  stormed 
into  Xew  York  wearing  a  top  hat,  with 
a  copy  of  Emily  Post's  Book  of  Etiquette 
under  his  arm. 

I  saw  him  at  a  rehearsal  in  the  XBC 
studios  the  day  of  his  first  broadcast.  It 
was  a  mad  affair,  with  Max  joking  about 
the  script  and  doing  an  impromptu  rhumba 

jfor  the  benefit   of  the   newspaper  folks 

a  present.  And  let  me  say  here.  Max  has 
*  a  very  quick  brain  when  it  comes  to  toss- 
ing off  witty  sallies.  He  had  all  of  us 
giggling  at  his  remarks.  He  likes  to  show 
off  before  an  audience,  which  is  one  of 
the  reasons  why  his  sponsors  arranged  to 
have  his  broadcasts  performed  in  private. 
With  a  few  hundred  people  watching  him, 
Baer  would  be  more  interested  in  getting 

!  the  crowd  laughing  than  in  following  the 
a  script. 

I  asked  Max  what  he  intended  to  do 
when  he  was  through  fighting  and  acting. 

"I'm  twenty-six  now,"  he  answered  in 
that  easy,  good-humored  manner  of  his, 
"and  I  intend  to  have  over  a  million  by 
(  the  time  I'm  thirty.    How  many  fellows 
today  can  retire  at  thirty  with  a  million? 
Then  I  can  do  as  I  please.    I'm  study- 
ng  literature  and  diction  now." 
He  ended,  as  he  ends  most  of  his  con- 
jVersations,  with  a  wink  and  a  grin. 

Whether  he  is  brushing  up  on  diction 
ind  literature  so  that  he  can  overcome 
I  he  greatest  obstacle  in  his  path  to  the 
I  Social  Register  is  something  you'll  have 
I  o  figure  out   for  yourself.     I  have  my 
1  >wn  opinion,  but  I  may  have  to  grow  a 
ong  pair  of  donkey  ears  if  I  tell  it  here. 
U  any  rate,  he's  still  going  places  with 
he  very,  very  social  Miss  Brown.  That 
hould  give  you  a  hint. 

The  End 


FAILURE  TO  SCORE  a  social  success 
cannot  always  be  attributed  to  a  lack 
of  personality.  Often  it  is  due  to  a  con- 
dition that  makes  even  sincere  admirers 
turn  away. 

No  matter  how  sure  you  are  of  your- 
self, make  this  simple  test.  Tonight  when 
you  take  off  your  dress,  smell  the  fabric 
at  the  armhole.  That  stale,  musty  "arm- 
hole  odor"  may  be  an  unpleasant  surprise. 

Perhaps  you  thought  you  were  sweet 
and  dainty  because  you  were  using  a 
cream  or  stick  deodorant.  But  these 
easy-to-use  preparations  do  only  half 
the  work  needed.  They  deodorize,  but 
they  are  not  made  to  keep  that  little 
closed-in  hollow  of  your  underarm  dry. 

No  Quick  and  Easy  way! 

THERE  is  no  quick  and  easy  method  to 
prevent  "armhole  odor."  When  you 
deodorize  only,  moisture  still  collects  on 
the  armhole  of  your  dress.  And  every  time 
you  put  on  that  dress,  the  warmth  of  your 
body  will  bring  out  a  stale,  unpleasant 


perspiration  odor.  Women  who  want  to  be 
sure  not  to  offend  have  'earned  always  to 
take  the  extra  minutes  needed  to  keep  the 
underarm  sweet  and  completely  dry — with 
Liquid  Odorono. 

Entirely  Safe.  .  . 

YOUR  doctor  will  tell  you  that  closing 
the  pores  in  the  small  underarm  area  is 
absolutely  harmless.  Odorono  gently  draws 
the  pores  together  and  diverts  underarm 
perspiration  to  other  parts  of  your  body 
where  it  quickly  evaporates  without  giv- 
ing offense. 

With  Odorono,  you  are  entirely  free  from 
"armhole  odor."  You  can  be  really  unself- 
conscious — your  most  charming  self.  You 
need  never  again  wear  hot,  bulky  dress 
shields  or  be  humiliated  by  wrinkled  blouses 
or  stained  coat  linings. 

Odorono  comes  in  two  strengths.  Regular 
Odorono  (Ruby  Colored)  requires  only  two 
applications  a  week.  Instant  Odorono  (Col- 
orless) is  for  especially  sensitive  skin  and  for 
quick  use.  Use  it  daily  or  every  other  day. 

On  sale  at  all  toilet  goods  counters.  If 
you  want  to  insure  complete  daintiness,

But  officials  in  the  control  room  knew  and 
Thompson  scurried  about  trying  to  find  a 
correct  script. 

In  the  meantime,  Grade,  with  the  cor- 
rect script,  had  gone  ahead,  regardless  of 
Rudy's  question,  reading  her  lines.  That 
was  enough.  Back  came  the  program 
into  the  forty-million  radios.  And  by 
that  time  the  right  continuity  was  in 
front  of  the  maestro. 

And  now  we  come  to  what  is  perhaps 
the  greatest  miracle  of  all.  You  have 
been  told  of  the  various  records  and  ac- 
complishments which  make  the  program 
remarkable.  But  the  best  and  most  ro- 
mantic of  all  stories  connected  with  the 
Vallee  hour  is  the  story  of  Rudy  him- 
self. 

I  won't  bore  you  with  the  details  of  a 
story  you  have  heard  before  but  let  me 
sum  it  up  briefly:  He  was  a  boy  out  of 
Yale  who  came  to  New  York  in  1927, 
along  with  a  hundred  thousand  other  col- 
lege boys,  to  win  fame  and  fortune."  He 
had  the  ability  to  play  the  saxophone,  a 
profound  knowledge  of  music,  and  the 
mind  of  an  efficiency  expert. 

He  was  a  man  of  many  contradictions. 
In  some  ways  happy-go-lucky,  in  others 
the  most  methodical  of  workers.  He  has 
a  delightful  sense  of  humor — yet  often  it 
seems  to  those  who  are  near  him  that  he 
has  none  at  all.  He  can  deliver  the  mean- 
est, bitterest  kind  of  reprimand  and  he 
can  be  the  kindest,  most  generous  spirit 
in  the  world. 

Here  are  a  couple  of  anecdotes  to  show 
you  what  I  mean :  The  time  the  Yale 
Glee  Club  sang  on  the  program  Jimmy 
Wellington — just  to  kid  Rudy,  who  is 
from  Yale — announced  the  singers  in  re- 
hearsal as  the  Harvard  Glee  Club.  And 
Rudy  didn't  catch  on.  Very  seriously  he 
explained  to  Jimmy  that  this  was  the 
Yale  Glee  Club.  More  recently,  John 
Tio,  the  talking  parrot,  provoked  Rudy 
by  mimicking  him  from  the  wings,  sing- 
ing :  "My  time  is  your  time.  .  .  ." 

On  the  other  hand,  there  is  the  time 
the  quartet  failed  to  show  up.  It  had 
been  engaged  to  sing  the  choral  lines  of 
''There  is  a  Taz'cm  in  the  Tozlii,"  while 
Rudy  did  the  verses.  Rudy  quickly  chose 
four  men  from  the  band  and  instructed 
them  to  stand  up  and  come  forward  to 
the  mike  and  sing  the  choruses  when  the 
time  came.  But  instead  of  four  getting 
up,  every  man  but  the  drummer  got  up 
and  gathered  behind  him.  It  was  done 
as  a  joke  and  everybody  laughed.  And 
when  Rudy  turned  around  and  beheld  the 
crowd  of  grinning  faces,  he  thought  it 
was  a  good  joke  and  laughed  more  heart- 
ily than  the  others. 

To  get  back  to  our  story,  Rudy  did 
not  go  around  looking  for  his  job  in  the 
ordinary  way,  with  just  a  sax  under  his 
arm.  He  had  in  addition,  a  phonograph 
and  a  suitcase  full  of  records  of  his  play- 
ing, which  he  had  had  made  and  paid  for 
himself.  The  fourth  article  of  his  equip- 
ment was  a  scrapbook  containing  a  pitiful- 
ly small  collection  of  write-ups  of  his 
performances.  Today  he  has  enough 
clippings  to  paper  the  walls  of  the  Colo- 


rado  Canyon   and   a    few   other  places. 

Well,  he  got  a  job  playing  at  society 
dances,  then  got  an  engagement  as  leader 
of  his  own  band  in  a  night  club,  where, 
by  an  accident,  he  discovered  he  could 
sing.  The  rest,  as  the  newspapers  say, 
is  history.  He  rocketed  into  fame,  be- 
came more  talked  of  than  any  stage 
celebrity  had  ever  been  or  has  since  been, 
with  the  possible  exception  of  Mae  W  est. 
He  was  the  curly-headed  darling  of  ladies 
everywhere.  His  picture  hung  on  adobe 
walls  and  on  boudoir  damask.  He  be- 
came the  vagabond  lover. 

He  and  his  Connecticut  Yankees  regis- 
tered because  they  played  softly  at  a  time 
when  the  whole  country  was  tense  and 
jittery.  His  music  thrilled  without  shat- 
tering. Part  of  this  muted  style  was 
deliberate.    Rudy  explained  to  me : 

"You  see,  loud  noises  are  about  the  only 
things  that  startle  a  baby  and  leave  a 
permanent  impression.  I  read  that  in 
book  on  psychology.  I  figured  that  every 
person  hearing  me  play  and  sing  had  at 
least  one  unpleasant  memory  of  loud  noises 
and  would  therefore  prefer  mine  to  the 
raucous,  hot  music  of  the  day." 

As  to  Rudy's  singing,  it's  soft  because 
he  can't  sing  loud.  He  has  a  fragile 
throat.  That  megaphone  he  once  used 
was  no  pose ;  he  absolutely  had  to  have 
it  to  reach  people  in  the  rear  seats. 
To  save  his  throat,  he  put  in  his  own  air- 
conditioning  system  in  his  apartment  and 
raised  hob  because  the  organization  re- 
fused to  do  the  same  for  the  old  studio? 
it:  the  Amsterdam  Theater  where  Rudy  did 
his  rehearsing.  His  voice  today  is  mucl 
stronger  but  he  never  travels  without  a 
kit  full  of  syringes  and  throat  washes  and 
paints  and  lozenges.  If  Xapoleon  hadn'l 
been  a  little  man  he  never  would  have 
been  Emperor.  If  Rudy  hadn't  had  s 
weak  throat,  he  never  would  have  beer 
famous. 

His  first  real  opportunity  to  do  some- 
thing with  his  ideas  was  the  offer  frorr 
a  yeast  company  to  star  on  a  network 
program.  That  was  in  1929.  At  first  he 
continued  to  be  the  vagabond  lover,  the 
Buddy  Rogers  of  radio,  cashing  in  on  hi? 
fame,  accepting  all  offers — at  a  price.  And 
he  was  much  in  demand.  He  played  in 
the  Xew  York  and  Brooklyn  Paramounts. 
The  week  Nancy  Carroll  gave  her  imi- 
tation of  him  in  Brooklyn  and  insisted 
that  he  conduct  for  it,  he  played  both 
theaters,  dashing  from  one  to  the  other 
in  a  taxicab,  establishing  a  record  of  nine 
shows  a  day.  In  addition,  he  had  his 
radio  and  his  night  club  engagement  at 
the  Villa  Vallee.  Records,  besides.  Later, 
there  was  George  W'hite's  Scandals. 

No  man  ever  worked  so  hard.  Wrhy 
did  he  do  it?  He  had  been  poor  for  so 
long,  been  kicked  around,  seen  his  ideas 
ignored — well,  this  was  his  chance  to  ge 
into  a  position  where  he  could  do  th 
bossing  and  the  laughing.  It  was  his 
chance  and  he  knew  enough  about  Broad- 
way to  realize  that  the  public  is  fickle 
and  forgets  as  quickly  as  it  recognizes.  1 

At  first,  the  program  was  all  Vallee. 
It  ran  for  an  hour  and  Rudy  sang  four-

teen  songs.  The  public  couldn't  have  too 
much  of  him.  Do  you  realize  what  that 
number  of  songs  means?  Counting  three 
minutes  to  the  song,  you  have  fifty-two 
solid  minutes  of  singing — all  by  one  man. 
It's  a  record.  Even  Bing  Crosby  cannot 
approach  it.  These  days  Rudy  sings 
three  or  four  songs,  never  more  than  six. 

A  month  or  so  of  this,  and  the  sponsors 
grew  a  little  uneasy.  How  long  could  this 
appetite  for  Rudy's  singing  continue? 
They  figured  it  must  be  almost  satisfied 
now  and  considered  dropping  or  at  least 
changing  the  program.  As  a  test  of  its 
popularity,  they  offered  to  anyone  who 
would  write  in  an  autographed  photo  of 
Rudy.  The  response  swept  away  all 
doubts.  No  less  than  fifty  thousand  letters 
asking  for  a  picture  poured  in  within  the 
next  ten  days.  If  not  a  record,  it  cer- 
tainly is  a  mighty  high  number. 

Tell  me  now,  have  you  ever  wondered 
how  the  Vallee  program  as  you  know  it 
began  ?  Whose  idea  it  was  ?  When  it 
started?  Important  questions  because  the 
Vallee  show  has  become  a  standard  for 
radio.  Without  it,  there  would  never  have 
been  Showboat,  to  mention  one  among  its 
many  followers. 

Early  in  1930  Rudy  conceived  the  idea 
of  a  program  that  would  be  to  radio  what 
vaudeville  was  to  the  entertainment  world. 
Vaudeville  with  snatches  of  news  reel, 
grand  opera  and  topflight  dramatic  per- 
formances. In  other  words,  the  perfect 
variety  show. 

Methodically  Rudy  moved  toward  this 
goal.  In  1930,  the  public  wasn't  ready  for 
it.  But  he  started  with  a  few  guest  stars. 
Through  them  he  taught  the  listeners  to 
appreciate  variety  and  want  more  of  it. 
Guests  in  those  days  were  Helen  Morgan, 
Sophie  Tucker,  Ray  Perkins,  Lou  Holtz 
and  Olsen  and  Johnson.  In  1932  he  and 
his  sponsors  agreed  that  the  time  had 
come  to  launch  the  perfect  variety  show. 
With  that  decision  the  show  as  we  know 
it  today  was  born. 

The  performance,  Rudy  believed,  had  to 
have  as  its  basis  music.  For  this  he  had 
the  orchestra  and  himself.  To  supple- 
ment these,  he  sought  and  still  seeks  each 
week  an  instrumentalist  or  a  singer  with 
a  contrasting  voice — or  a  chorus,  a  quar- 
tet or  a  trio.  Eva  Symes,  Queena  Mario, 
the  Saxon  Sisters — these  are  examples. 

Then  there  had  to  be  comedy — at  least 
wo  comedy  spots,  to  lighten  the  show. 
\nd  for  this  part,  he  has  had  every  comic 
worth  his  salt.  As  I  write  Tom  How- 
ard and  Roy  Shelton  are  filling  the  bill 

0  noble  style.  The  third  requirement  was 
For  a  dramatic  spot.    This  to  be  a  scene 

i- from  a  popular  show  or  movie  acted  by 
;tars.  Marie  Dressier  and  Helen  Hayes 
lead  the  list  of  those  who  have  worked 
Bn  this  spot.  Finally,  a  novelty.  Some- 
hing  different,  something  newsy.  This 
ould  be  anything  from  the  talking  parrot 

i  o  someone  off  the  front  page,  like  Ad- 
niral  Byrd. 

1  Three  years  ago  today,  our  friend  Rudy 
lad  already  traveled  a  long  way  from  his 
agabond  lover  days.  The  vagabond  had 
>een  replaced  by  a  serious,  settled-down 
oung  man  wholly  devoted  to  the  job. 

It  took  a  wagon-load  of  courage  and 
ommon  sense  for  this  idol  of  the  public 
:  3  insist  on  a  program  which  each  week 
ermitted  a  visiting  celebrity  to  steal  the 
how.     Often    he    has    introduced  stars

ing  pain.  It  is  gentle  but  thorough.  And 
it  is  not  habit-forming. 


And  that's  very  important!  For  if  a 
youngster  hates  the  taste  of  a  laxative 
and  struggles  against  taking  it,  her  nerves 
are  upset  by  the  struggle.  And  her  stom- 
ach may  be  upset  also! 

So  pleasant  taste  is  one  of  the  impor- 
tant reasons  why  Fletcher's  Castoria  is 
the  right  laxative  for  children  . . . 


Whenever  your  youngster  needs  a  laxa-

systems.  It  will  never,  never  cause  grip-

SHAKER  COOKING 


Wonderful  new 
Gerber  process

Strained  Vegetables 

OPEN  a  can  of  the  new  Gerber  Strained 
Vegetables!  You'll  find  them  brighter 
colored,  fresher  in  flavor  than  you  ever  dreamed 
canned  vegetables  could  be. 

They're  cooked  a  new  way,  developed  by 
Gerber  after  two  years  of  research.  Shaker- 
Cooking  stirs  the  foods  140  times  a  minute,  as 
they  steam-cook  in  the  sealed  cans.  It  takes 
as  little  as  15  minutes  for  thorough  heat  dis- 
tribution this  way.  By  methods  in  general  use, 
it  would  take  4  times  as  long  and  the  food  on 
the  outer  edges  would  be  much  overcooked 
and  far  less  appetizing. 

Now,  with  Shaker-Cooking,  every  particle 
is  evenly  cooked,  finer -flavored,  brighter- 
colored  .  .  .  better  than  ever  for  Baby. 

Specially  Guarded forBaby 
—from  Crop  to  Can 

All  Gerber  Strained  Products  are 
prepared  with  extraordinary  care 
for  Baby's  own  requirements. 
Vitamins  and  minerals  are  pro- 
tected as  they  can' t  be  in  ordinary 
home  preparation.  Vegetables  are 
fresher,  richer  in  vitamins.  In 
every  process  air  is  excluded  to 
lessen  vitamin  loss.  Moisture  is 
regulated  —  to  save  the  minerals 
poured  off  in  water.  Your  baby 
gets  more  vitamins  and  minerals 
than  if  you  cooked  and  strained 
his  vegetables  at  home.  You  save 
tiring  work — have  more  time  for 
Baby.  Baby  gets  the  finest  vegeta- 
bles the  year  round.  Unseasoned 
for  serving  as  they  are.  Or  serve 
slightly  seasoned  as  taste  or  your

who  completely  overshadowed  him.  But 
he  profited  by  his  sacrifice  in  the  num- 
ber of  honest  and  enduring  friendships 
he  won.  Whereas  you  formerly  were  in- 
fatuated with  Rudy,  the  crooner,  now  you 
honestly  respect  him  as  a  man  and  as  a 
master  of  ceremonies.  Had  Rudy  re- 
mained merely  a  soft-voiced  singer,  today 
he  would  be  forgotten. 

All  of  which  reminds  me  again  of  the 
contradictions  in  this  man's  character.  No 
one  has  more  ego  than  he,  none  more  sen- 
sitive to  neglect  or  abuse  by  the  news- 
papers. Witness  his  stool  adorned  with 
his  name.  He  won't  sit  on  any  other. 
At  the  same  time  he  is  self-effacing  and 
modest  to  a  fault.  Ego  never  blocks  his 
vision  of  what  is  right.  He  spent  twenty 
minutes  raving  to  me  enthusiastically  about 
Bing  Crosby,  his  principal  singing  rival — 
and  meaning  it. 

This  perfect  program  takes  hard  work. 
You  who  listen  so  blithely,  who  tune  in 
and  out  without  a  pang,  you  should  spend 
a  week  with  Rudy  and  his  aides  as  they 
build  their  weekly  masterpiece. 

On  Friday,  lalxir  on  the  program  for 
the  following  Thursday  begins.  Gordon 
Thompson,  the  producer,  George  Faulkner, 
the  writer,  and  Rudy  go  into  a  huddle. 
Rudy  dominates  but  it  is  a  free  discussion. 
The  others  clip  and  prune  Rudy's  excess 
of  enthusiasm. 

At  that  meeting  the  personnel  of  the 
program  is  chosen.  Each,  individually, 
has  been  scouting  New  York  for  talent, 
visiting  night  clubs  and  theaters,  watch- 
ing the  full-fledged  stars,  the  up  and 
coming  little  fellows. 

When  the  conference  concludes,  the 
music  is  given  to  the  arrangers.  You 
can't  just  buy  a  pile  of  music  and  play 
it.  Every  maestro  has  to  play  it  his  own 
way.  And  Rudy's  way  is  the  hard  way 
— the  variety  way.  Each  piece  must  be 
different  from  the  others — different  in 
key,  in  tempo  and  in  theme.  Faulkner, 
working  nights,  goes  ahead  with  the 
script.  Thompson  rounds  up  the  cast 
and  manages  the  ninety  and  nine  details. 

On  Wednesday,  the  first  rehearsal  takes 
place.  Thursday  the  second  and  final 
rehearsal.  Once  all  the  rehearsal  neces- 
sary was  two  hours ;  once  the  size  of  the 
script  was  five  pages.  Today  rehearsals 
run  ten  hours  minimum  and  the  script  is 
thirty-two  pages. 

Rudy,  in  wrinkled  tweed,  sits  on  his 
stool.  Visitors  are  barred.  The  program 
develops  as  the  rehearsal  proceeds.  In- 
spirations are  common  and  they  produce 
many  changes  in  the  original  plan.  Some- 
times an  idea  for  a  change  occurs  a  few 
minutes  before  broadcast  time.  To  the 
casual  observer,  the  rehearsal  is  a  dull 
and  repetitive  affair.  But  to  the  wise,  it 
is  a  tense,  dramatic  spectacle — the  build- 
ing of  a  perfect  thing.  But  there  are 
moments  of  commonplace  excitement  as 
when  Rudy  loses  his  temper  and  lashes 
a  faulty  performer  with  a  tongue  dipped 
in  acid. 

At  last  it  is  done  and  at  eight  o'clock 
Thursday  evenings,  the  program  sweeps 
out  into  space.  Rudy  differs  from  many 
other  radio  performers  in  showing  little 
regard  for  his  studio  audience.  To  him 
the  unseen  public  is  his  public.  The  folks 
in  the  studio  are  simply  a  small  minority 
peeping  through  a  knothole.  He  turns 
his  back  when  he  sings.    Not  deliberately 


but   because   he   sings   better   that  way. 

Recently  a  performance  of  The  Vinegar 
Tree  was  given.  It  lasted  twelve  min- 
utes. Condensing  this  full  length  drama 
to  that  size  without  sacrificing  any  of  its 
meaning  was  a  considerable  stunt. 

The  three  actors  were  all  stars.  One 
was  Mary  Boland  and  she  arrived  clad 
in  an  evening  gown,  being  en  route  to 
a  formal  gathering  of  some  sort.  Waller 
Connolly,  now  appearing  in  a  Broadway 
play  entitled,  "The  Bishop  Misbehaves," 
came  dressed  as  a  bishop,  collar  backside 
front,  gaiters  and  all,  liecause  the  mo- 
ment his  radio  work  was  over  he  had  to 
dash  for  the  theatre.  The  third  actor, 
Osgood  I'erkins,  was  in  ;i  similar  situa- 
tion. He,  too,  had  to  run  for  the  the- 
atre and  as  he  was  appearing  in  an  air- 
plane story  entitled,  "Ceiling  Zero,"  he 
came  in  the  uniform  of  an  aviation  official. 

Now,  you'll  admit,  it  must  have  seemed 
funny  to  the  studio  audience  seeing  a 
bishop,  an  aviator  and  a  woman  in  an 
evening  gown  acting  in  "The  Vinegar 
Tree."  But  Rudy  did  nothing,  said  noth- 
ing to  satisfy  their  curiosity. 

The  flaws  that  Rudy  finds  in  'the  pro- 
gram you  know  nothing  about — they  are 
technical.  For  example,  he  would  like 
the  microphone  improved  to  enable  him 
to  know  by  a  system  of  lights  exactly  how 
the  program  sounds. 

"I  finish  my  program,"  he  explained, 
"and  ask  the  man  in  the  control  room 
how  it  sounded.  He  tells  me  that  it  was 
very  good  except  for  the  girl  trio — they 
didn't  come  over  very  well.  There  I  am, 
the  broadcast  finished.  It  is  too  late  to 
do  anything  about  it.  Now,  whenever  I 
get  a  chance  I  pick  up  the  earphones  and 
listen.  This  gives  me  a  chance  to  cor- 
rect poor  transmission." 

Which  will  give  you  an  idea  of  how  in- 
tense his  interest  is  in  this  program  he 
has  made.  The  technical  side  as  well  as 
the  musical  and  dramatic.  For  all  his  in- 
difference to  studio  audiences  he  was  the 
first  in  radio  to  use  it  as  part  of  the  per- 
formance. The  old  NBC  studios  had  a 
glass  curtain.  By  opening  it,  you  let  in 
the  applause ;  but  shutting  it,  you  kept  the 
audience  noises  out.  He  is  a  little  bitter 
over  the  arrangements  in  the  RCA  Build- 
ing which  do  not  permit  him  to  do  this. 

His  home  is  more  of  a  factory  than  it 
is  a  dwelling.  Every  room  has  its  huge 
machine — the  kind  that  is  a  thirteen-tube 
radio  set  and  an  apparatus  for  playing 
twenty-five   phonograph   records  unaided. 

Another  room  is  full  of  motion  picture 
material.  Cans  full  of  film.  A  winding 
machine.  A  splicer.  A  projector,  In 
addition,  a  device  for  putting  sound  on 
film.  He  has  a  picture  of  every  guest  star 
who  has  ever  appeared  with  him. 

For  all  the  machinery  and  his  interest 
in  things  technical,  Rudy  confided  that  he 
can't  do  anything  with  his  hands. 

"I  could  never  have  been  an  engineer," 
he  said.  "Perhaps  a  lawyer — I  studied  it 
for  a  time  and  may  go  back  to  it.  In 
a  way,  I  am  sorry  I  didn't  go  in  for  law. 
My  life  would  have  been  much  different." 

And  ours,  too.  We're  not  sorry  Rudy 
Yallee  forgot  to  study  law.  We're  glad 
he  learned  to  play  the  saxophone  and 
swing  a  baton.  With  these  he  has  created 
two  miracles — his  personal  success,  and 
his  program.

Ken  Murray  to  act  as  attendants,  and  in- 
toned a  pseudo  rabbinical  wedding  ser- 
vice over  the  Xelson  and  Hilliard  heads. 
.  .  .  However,  we  watch  and  wonder. 
Then  Ozzie  calls  Harriet  "Darling" — and 
I  we  wonder  harder.

;  watching    Ed    Wynn.     The    Fire  Chief 

stands  before  the  microphone  practicing 
I  his  jokes  and  Graham  McXamee  stands 
beside  him  practicing  laughing  till  he  al- 
most dies.  They  continue  thus  until  Wynn 
says  something  meant  to  be  funny  which 
obviously  isn't.  "I'll  fix  that,  Graham." 
he  says  hurriedly.  And  Graham  laughs 
harder  than  ever — until  he  realizes  the 
i  line  isn't  in  the  script;  then  he  sobers 
and  says,  "Okay,  chief,"  and  waits  pa- 
tiently while  Wynn  makes  the  cut. 

THE  HARD  ROAD 

It's   traditional   that   somewhere  along 
i  the  road  back  to  success  comes  a  bump 
that  upsets  the  apple  cart.    Jimmy  Kem- 
per, the  dramatic  song   specialist,  is  on 
1  that    road   now.     He's    got    his  fingers 
f  crossed. 

I  talked  to  him  the  other  day  about 
'  the  way  Lady  Luck  bounced  him  down 
the  long  incline.     Last  year,  during  the 
;  entire  five  months  he  was  doing  that  swell 
'  commercial,  Kemper  was  plenty  sick.  He 
spent  one  hour  each  day  out  of  bed — that 
was  in  the  studios.     He  came  to  New 
I  York    last    winter    from    a    hospital  in 
:  which  he  had  spent  another  three  months. 
Here,  with  a  black  cat  named  Hannibal, 
given  to  him  by  Mrs.  Everett  Shinn,  wife 
of  the  illustrator,  he  has  settled  down  to 
await  developments.    He  says :  "If  some- 
one doesn't  buy  my  new  show  within  two 
months.   I'll   have   Hannibal   stuffed  and 
put  him  on  the  mantel."

Keep  your  BABY  SAFER 

THIS  NEW  WAY-AS  HOSPITALS  DO 


..-r-r  tithin  the  last  few  years,  hospital  nurs- 
W  eries  have  discovered  a  way  to  keep 
babies  lovelier,  happier — and,  above  all,  jafer. 
Of  course,  you  want  your  precious  darling  to 
be  just  as  safe  at  home  as  during  the  first  days 
of  his  existence  in  the  hospital.  So,  mother, 
do  as  hospitals  do  use  Mennen  Antiseptic  Oil 
all  over  baby's  body,  every  day;  and,  later, 
when  baby  becomes  older,  use  Mennen  Anti- 
septic Borated  Powder. 

"Then,  you  will  be  following  the  modern 
scientific  method  of  protecting  and  caring  for 
the  baby's  skin. 

"More  than  half  of  all  the  hospitals  impor- 
tant in  maternity  work  now  give  their  babies 
a  complete  body-rub,  from  head  to  foot,  at 
least  once  a  day  with  Mennen  Antiseptic  Oil. 
These  hospitals  have  proved  that  it  gives  baby 
a  lovelier,  smoother,  healthier  skin — and  that 


it  keeps  baby  safe — 'bathed  in  protection'— 
guarded  against  many  infections  Thousands 
and  thousands  of  doctors  recommend  it,  ad- 
vising that  the  daily  oil-rubs  be  continued 
during  at  least  baby's  diaper  age  So,  mother, 
follow  this  recommendation  for  your  darling's 
greater  safety. 

"Then,  when  you  gradually  discontinue  the 
daily  antiseptic  oil-rubs,  dust  baby's  body  with 
the  baby  powder — Mennen  Antiseptic  Borated 
Powder.  It's  a  superfine  babv  powder — pre- 
vents chafing — makes  the  skin  satiny  smooth — 
temptingly  lovelv — and,  in  addition,  it's  sn- 
tistptic  It  continues  to  protect  the  skin  against 
germs — as  does  the  oil.

MEN  say  of  her,  "Good  looking.  Good 
company.  Nice  Girl.   But  please 
excuse  me." 
Why? 

There  is  just  one  reason.  She's  careless 
about  herself!  She  has  never  learned  that 
soap  and  water  cannot  protect  her  from 
that  ugly  odor  of  underarm  perspiration 
which  makes  people  avoid  her. 

She  has  nobody  to  blame  but  herself. 
For  it's  so  easy,  these  days,  to  keep  the 
underarms  fresh,  free  from  odor  all  day 
long.  With  Mum! 

It  takes  just  half  a  minute  to  use  Mum. 
And  you  can  use  it  any  time  —  before 
dressing  or  afterwards.  Mum  is  harmless 
to  clothing,  you  know. 

It's  soothing  to  the  skin,  too.  You  can 
use  it  right  after  shaving  the  underarms. 

The  daily  Mum  habit  will  prevent  every 
trace  of  underarm  odor  without  prevent- 
ing perspiration  itself.  Get  into  the  habit 
— it  pays  socially.  Bristol -Mvers,  Inc.,

•  •  •  We're  now  sitting  in  rehearsal  of 
"the  American  Musical  Revue,"  though 
everyone  but  Frank  Munn,  Vivienne  Se- 
gal and  Bertram  Hirsch,  the  violinist, 
has  gone  out  for  coffee.  Munn  is  making 
many  soft  mistakes  while  fooling  with  the 
vibraphone  and  Vivienne  is  doing  a  cross- 
word puzzle.  The  violinist  is  going  over  a 
short  solo  when  the  production  man  comes 
from  the  control  room.  "The  idea,"  he 
says  patiently,  "is  this :  we  have  built  a 
lovely,  soft  mood  and  your  violin  is  to 
come  in  at  the  dramatic  peak  and  lift  the 
mood  to  another  peak."  The  violinist 
frowns.  Munn  leaves  the  vibraphone  and 
goes  to  his  side.  "The  fiddle,"  he  ex- 
plains, jabbing  the  music  with  his  fore- 
finger, "butts  in  here!"  Hirsch  nods. 

AS  IT  HAPPENS 

"The  Pathe  News  of  the  Air,"  the 
most  startling  development  in  current 
events  broadcasting  this  year,  is  the  result 
of  a  hangover  which  kept  John  Begg, 
a  Pathe  man,  awake  one  night.  In  a 
frantic  attempt  to  get  his  mind  off  his 
throbbing  head,  Begg  turned  his  radio 
on  at  dawn  and  heard  King  George  of 
England  in  a  transatlantic  broadcast. 

The  fuzzy,  fading  words  spoken  by  the 


British  monarch  whipped  up  a  whirl  of 
ideas.  Here  was  an  important  personage 
speaking  world  truths  at  a  time  when 
only  night  watchmen  and  Anglomaniacs 
would  listen.  Ahhhh,  but  Pathe  could 
have  that  very  same  speech  broadcast 
from  its  film  sound  tracks  at  a  reasonable 
time  and  it  would  not  be  distorted  in 
transmission.  Further,  Pathe  could  han- 
dle other  broadcasts  along  the  same  line 
and  handle  assignments  that  had  never 
been  feasible  because  of  the  time  clement 
and  the  expense  of  equipment  and  trans- 
mission.   It  was  a  grand  idea. 

The  results  of  Begg's  hangover  are 
heard  twice  a  week  over  the  four  stations 
of  the  Mutual  Broadcasting  System,  and 
is  the  first  really  big  time  the  new  net  has 
booked.  Both  XBC  and  CBS  wanted  the 
series,  but  a  rule  against  transcribed  pro- 
grams forced  them  to  turn  it  down.  So 
far,  Pathe  has  broadcast  the  voices  of 
fourteen  of  the  higher-ups  (they  don't 
pay  for  the  privilege,  either),  and  they've 
a  flock  more  lined  up  for  immediate  re- 
lease. There  is  one  amusing  one  I  can 
tell  you  about.  A  microphone  was  hid- 
den in  the  Yale  locker  room  just  before 
they  played  Army  last  fall,  so  you  won't 
have  to  be  assistant  manager  to  know 
what  a  coach  sounds  like  when  he  ha- 
rangues players.  Pathe  secured  a  com- 
plete recording  of  Coach  "Ducky"  Pond's 
pungent  instructions,  including  the  juicy 
details  of  how  Yale  players  were  to  han- 
dle Jack  Buckler,  All-America  back  with 
Army.  A  good  deal  of  the  dialogue  will 
have  to  be  cut  before  the  instructive  clip 
is  released.  Pond  uses  a  man's  language.

happy."  Babs  said.  "We  like  the  new 
program,  with  Hal  Kemp's  orchestra. 
Of  course  we  were  very  happy  with 
Fred  .  .  . 

"Fred  always  has  been  a  real  friend," 
she  continued  earnestly.  "Even  now  that 
we  are  on  the  new  program,  we  see  him 
often,  and  he  always  gives  us  encourage- 
ment and  helpful  suggestions  for  our  pro- 
grams." 

She  looked  up  to  smile  at  a  young  girl 
coming  across  the  restaurant  toward  us. 
It  was  her  sister,  who  now  makes  her 
home  with  Babs.  She  came  on  from  the 
family  home  in  Kansas  just  when  Babs 
had  made  up  her  mind  that  she  had  to 
leave  Charlie. 

"She  came  at  just  the  right  time,"  Babs 
murmured.    "If  she  hadn't  " 

Sister  sat  down  at  the  table  with  us. 
She  had  been  on  an  errand  for  Babs,  in 
quest  of  a  piece  of  music  which  had  been 
left  in  a  friend's  home.  She,  too,  is  a 
frank  and  forthright. and  charming  young 
girl,  with  sea-blue  eyes.  And  the  de- 
votion between  the  sisters  was  at  once 
apparent. 

It  was  Friday,  and  Sister  was  going 
away  for  a  little  visit.  "What  will  you 
do  tonight,  Babsie?"  she  asked  anxiously. 

"I  have  a  dinner  engagement,"  Babs  said. 


"You're  sure?"  Blue  eyes  gazed  earn- 
estly. 

"Sure."     Brown   eyes   smiled  back. 

"And  what  will  you  do  tomorrow?" 

"I'll  be  working,''  Babs  told  her. 

"I'll  be  back  Saturday  night,"  Sister 
said,  as  if  coming  home  to  Babs  were  far 
more  thrilling  than  going  away  for  a 
visit. 

"You're  not  staying  over  the  week- 
end?" 

"Oh,  no!  I'm  coming  home.  I'll  be 
with  you  Saturday  night."  And  blue  eyes 
smiled  fondly  into  brown  eyes. 

They  told  me  about  their  kitten,  Jock. 
"People  always  ask  me,"  Babs  said,  "if  I 
have  a  hobby,  or  anything.  I  never  had 
one!    But  now  we've  got  a  cat!" 

"He  knows  everything,"  Sister  declared. 
"He's  so  smart!  Just  the  tone  of  your 
voice.  .  .  ." 

They  told  me  about  their  "mothers." 
They  have  at  least  five!  Their  step- 
mother. And  Mrs.  Lane — Rosemary's  and 
Priscilla's  mother.  And  the  mothers  of 
three  other  friends. 

"You  must  have  had  a  large  time  on 
Mother's  Day,"  I  suggested. 

"Did  we!"    And  they  laughed  gaily.

They  finish.  That  went  very  well.  They 
toss  the  music  up  on  top  of  the  piano,  and 
start  on  another  song : 

"No  one  else,  it  seems, 
liver  shares  my  dreams  ..." 

As  I  listen,  I  wonder  if  the  meaning 
of  the  words  lays  a  gentle  hand  upon  the 
door  that  is  closed  and  locked  between 
Babs  and  Charlie.  Will  it  open  again, 
and  the  unhappy  little  ghost  be  gone? 

Babs  says  no.  And  as  she  is  a  clear- 
thinking  small  person,  she  may  be  right. 

"It's  like  this,'"  she  says  earnestly,  when 
we  are  alone,  "you  pick  out  a  hundred 
songs  to  sing — but  only  ten,  perhaps,  are 
good  for  you  .  .  .  That's  the  way  it  is 
with  people.  You  may  have  a  hundred 
friends,  but  only  a  few  are  the  right  ones 
for  you.  We  used  to  have  crowds  around 
all  the  time.  All  show  people.  We  went 
everywhere  together.  Did  all  the  same 
things.  Dances.  Clubs.  Everything  .  .  . 
Now-  I  have  a  few  friends  who  are  just 
grand.  I  don't  go  around  much  any  more. 
But  I  have  a  grand  time.  I'm  happier 
than  I  ever  was  before  in  my  life!" 

She  means  it,  too.  Just  the  same, 
Cupid  may  find  her  heart  again.  Though 
Babs  and  Charlie  didn't  quite  make  a  go 
of  their  personal  partnership,  either  one 
of  those  two  nice  young  people  might  be 
happily  married  to  someone  else.  And 
romance  is  a  natural  part  of  life.  And 
a  heart  that  has  been  hurt  is  hungry  for 
the  healing  of  a  new  love. 

So,  as  they  sang  in  that  small  rehearsal 
room,  heads  close  together,  voices  blend- 
ing softly : 

"Don't  pity  me  that  way, 
It  had  to  be  that  way — 

//  happens  to  the  best  of  friends." 

The  best  of  friends — Babs  and  her 
"brothers" ! 

And  that's  the  truth!

the  telephone,  and  makes  engagements, 
and  has  an  eye  to  Jock's  education.  And 
shares  Babs'  good  times.  And  her  heart- 
aches, her  hopes,  her  plans. 

A  career  in  itself,  that,  I  thought,  as 
we  walked  out  to  the  sunlit  street  to- 
gether. 

"Come  over  to  rehearsal  with  me,"  Babs 
suggested,  as  Sister  said  goodbye  and 
went  off.  "You  might  see  the  fur  fly !" 
And  she  linked  her  arm  in  mine,  chatting 
gaily  as  we  walked  along — quite  as  if  no 
shadow  darkened  the  sun  for  her. 

And  perhaps  none  did.  After  all,  the 
trio  was  the  big  thing  in  life.  And  that 
was  safe,  now. 

Charlie  and  Little  were  waiting,  and 
the  three  began  rehearsing  at  once,  plung- 
ing into  the  music  with  an  eager  concen- 
tration that  showed  it  to  be  the  domi- 
nant element  in  their  lives. 

"You  flatted  there,  Charlie,"  Babs  said 
presently,  playing  a  phrase  over  again. 

Charlie  nodded.  "That's  where  I  went 
wrong."  And  he  sang  it  again,  and  cor- 
rectly. 

Criticism  and  suggestion  flashed  back 
and  forth — but  I  didn't  see  any  fur  fly  !  I 
saw  only  great  earnestness  and  absorp- 
tion in  working  out  the  songs  for  their 
programs,  concentrating  to  achieve  the 
results  they  wanted.  They  keep  six  weeks 
ahead  of  their  program,  so  that  they  are 
ready  for  any  emergencies. 

They  sit  together  at  the  piano.  Little 
leans  toward  Babs  from  his  chair. 
Charlie  leans  toward  her  from  his.  The 
three  heads  are  very  close  to  one  another, 
their  voices  blending  sweetly  in  rhythmic 
harmony.  Two  masculine  feet  and  one 
small  feminine  one  tap  out  the  rhythm  as 
they  sing.  Smiles  flash  between  them 
occasionally.  Xods  of  approval,  when  it 
goes  just  right.  "Little"  beams  at  Babs. 
Charlie  pats  her  shoulder. 

They  sing : 

"I'll  never  forget  how  we  promised  one 
day 

To  love  you  forever  that  way  .  .  ."

That's  the  way  the  scene  starts.  Let's 
just  step  into  the  sound-effects  depart-

I  All  right.  ...  Go  get  that  big  square

That's  not  enough.

through  the  sea.  No,  we're  not  all  set 
yet.  Turn  the  crank  on  that  funny  little

sound  like?  Like  trees  straining  in  the 
wind?  Sure.  We  can  use  it  for  that  in 
some  other  script.  Or  we  could  use  it  for 
floor  squeaks  as  someone  walks  in  a 
haunted  house,  too,  if  we  wanted.  Right 
now,  we're  going  to  use  it  for  those 
creaks  a  vessel  under  way  in  a  heavy 
swell  gives. 

Now  the  sound  man  will  work  those  all 
together  in  proper  doses,  as  a  background 
to  the  dialogue,  and  the  scene  will  seem

would   be   silly   to  use   fog   horns  then. 

Let's  get  back  to  the  sweet  nothings  the 
lovers  were  saying.  Mmm!  She  says: 
"When  we  get  back  to  New  York.  .  .  ." 
Mo.  No  more  effects  needed  there.  Look. 
Down  here.  Where  he's  saying,  ".  .  .  it 
all  seems  so  much  like  a  dream."  Then 
she  says,  "Listen,  someone's  coming  down 
the  deck." 

You  see,  at  this  point  the  jealous  suitor, 
Hal,  comes  out  from  the  main  saloon  on 
to  the  deck.  Now  what  would  you  do 
to  indicate  his  approach?  It's  very  dark, 
remember,  and  the  sweethearts  can't  see 
him. 

Footsteps?  Good.  You'll  hold  this 
script-writing  job  yet.  The  way  the  sound 
man  will  do  that  will  be  to  stand  on  this 
little  low  platform  here  and  step  up  and 
down.  Write  down  on  the  script  there, 
"Fading  in."  That  means  he'll  step  softly 
at  first,  then  louder  to  indicate  the  ap- 
proach. 

But  wait,  there's  a  very  simple  little 
sound  effect  you've  forgotten.  When  this 
thwarted  suitor  comes  out  of  the  salon,  how 
would  you  indicate  it  ?  Oh,  come,  come. 
You  can,  too,  think  of  something !  Well, 
what  did  we  do  when  we  came  from  the 
continuity  department  just  now?  Opened 
and  shut  the  door?  Right. 

Now,  over  there,  you  see  that  door 
hinged  into  a  frame?  The  whole  thing's 
on  wheels  for  moving  about  the  studios. 
Just  before  the  line  where  Sylvia  says: 
"Listen,  someone's  coming  dozen  the  deck," 
the  sound  effects  man  opens  that  door 
and  slams  it.  Then  the  audience,  hearing 
footsteps  after  the  door  slams,  knows, 
even  before  Sylvia  says  so,  that  some- 
one's approaching. 

Hal  comes  up  to  them.  Let's  see.  .  .  . 
There's  all  this  dialogue  where  he  and 
Tony  argue  as  to  who  should  marry  Syl- 
via, and  where  Sylvia  pleads  with  them 
not  to  fight.  Then,  she  cries :  "Look  out, 
Tony!  He's  got  a  pistol!  He'll  kill 
you!"  And  Tony  says:  "Oh,  no,  you 
don't,  you  rat!  Now  perhaps  you'll  listen 
to  reason!"  Then  Hal  begins  to  beg 
Tony  not  to  shoot  him. 

Puzzle  you?  No  doubt.  When  Tony 
says:  "Oh,  no,  you  don't,  you  rat!"  the 
sound  man  will  smack  his  fist  into  the 
palm  of  his  hand  twice  and  you'll  know 
that  Tony's  landing  a  couple  of  good  wal- 
lops on  Hal's  jaw.  And  good  enough  for 
him ! 

Then  when  Tony  says :  "There,  now,  1 
guess  you'll  listen  to  reason!"  and  Hal 
begs  him  not  to  shoot,  it  means  that  Tony 
has  taken  the  gun  away  from  Hal.  Cow- 
ardly egg,  that  Hal ! 

But  Sylvia  again  hears  something.  This 
time  she  says  she  thinks  she  hears  another 
ship.  At  this  point  a  voice  comes  roar- 
ing back  from  the  bow  of  the  vessel  where 
the  lookout  is  stationed. 

"Ship  a  point  off  the  starboard  boiv, 
sir!"  he  cries  to  the  Captain  on  the  bridge. 
This  is  a  serious  situation,  since  the  look- 
out could  hardly  be  expected  to  see  an- 
other ship  in  a  fog  like  that  until  his  ves- 
sel's almost  on  it  and  then  it's  apt  to  be 
too  late  to  sheer  away. 

Now  to  convey  the  tenseness  of  the 
situation  to  the  listener,  what  we've  got 
to  do  is  to  have  the  sound  man  blow  a 
second  fog  horn  gently,  as  though  it  were 
another  ship  approaching,  just  before 
Sylvia  says  her  line  about  hearing  the 
second  vessel.    Then  the  lookout  calls  to 


the  captain.  And  the  captain  on  the  bridge 
yells  to  the  quartermaster  at  the  wheel : 
"Hard  a-port!" 

Too  late.  The  liner  crashes  into  the 
other  ship. 

Hand  me  that  little  strawberry  basket 
over  there.  .  .  .  Thanks.  Now  when  the 
liners  crash,  the  sound  expert  crushes  one 
of  these  boxes.  Seems  inadequate?  You 
should  hear  it  from  the  other  side  of  the 
loudspeaker.  If  he  wants  to  heighten  the 
effect  of  the  crash,  his  assistant  might  at 
the  same  time  slam  a  length  of  stovepipe 
into  a  box  of  broken  glass.  That  last  ef- 
fect is  what  they  use  for  auto  crashups. 

Now  what  happens  in  the  script  here, 
is  that  the  shock  of  the  collision  knocks 
the  gun  out  of  Tony's  hand  and  Hal 
grabs  it.  Tony  jumps  on  him,  however, 
and  in  the  tussle,  the  two  fall  overboard. 
Unhesitatingly  Sylvia  dives  in  after  them. 

But  by  this  time,  a  lot  is  happening  on 
the  two  vessels.  Both  are  sinking.  Hoarse 
orders  are  being  shouted  by  the  members 
of  the  cast  who  play  the  parts  of  the 
crew.  In  the  background  is  the  noise  of 
the  crowd  of  excited,  panic-stricken  pas- 
sengers. This  effect  the  sound  man  will 
get,  to  back  up  the  members  of  the  cast 
who  are  crying  out,  by  putting  a  crowd 
record  on  what  he  calls  his  turntable,  a 
device  that  looks  like  three  phonographs 
built  into  one  big  box. 

Those  sounds  of  excitement,  of  course, 
must  be  kept  in  the  background,  since 
we've  followed  Sylvia  in  her  brave  leap  to 
aid  Tony.  The  sound  man  will  probably 
get  his  cuffs  wet  on  this  one,  because  he'll 
be  sloshing  his  hands  around  in  the  bucket 
to  give  the  effect  of  the  three  struggling 
in  the  water. 

At  any  rate,  Tony  disarms  Hal  again. 
Sylvia  gets  hold  of  a  life  raft  and  swims 
it  over  to  them.  The  three  clamber 
aboard. 

By  next  morning  the  life  raft  has 
drifted  far  from  the  scene  of  the  colli- 
sion. Nothing  about  them  but  vast,  heav- 
ing sea.  Overhead  a  blazing  sun.  This 
is  the  dickens  of  a  spot!  Hal  sits  there 
glowering.  Tony  and  Sylvia  talk  and  sing 
to  keep  their  spirits  up  and  to  try  to 
forget  they  have  no  food  nor  water. 

All  we  need  for  sound  effects  here,  is 
the  gentle  lapping  of  water  against  the 
side  of  the  life  raft,  and  since  the  sound 
man's  cuffs  will  already  have  been  wet, 
he  might  as  well  do  it  by  swishing  his 
hands  around  in  the  bucket  some  more. 

Hal  starts  grumbling,  according  to  the 
script  here,  about  how  thirsty  he  is.  Tony 
very  properly  tells  him  to  shut  up  and 
says  a  bilge  rat  like  him  ought  to  be  glad 
that  anyone  had  the  decency  to  save  his 
life !  Just  as  they  once  more  come  to 
blows,  Sylvia's  pretty,  sharp  ears  catch  a 
sound  again. 

"It's  a  plane!"  she  cries. 

Now  just  before  Sylvia  says  she  hears 
it,  the  sound  effects  man  will  put  on  a 
record  of  a  plane  approaching  from  a  dis- 
tance. It  will  come  in  gradually  until  it 
lands  on  the  sea  nearby.  ...  So  are  the 
three  rescued ! 

That's  how  you  should  do  it  if  you  had 
the  chance. 

Wait  a  minute.  Ray  Kelly,  the  XBC 
sound  effects  man,  says  there's  one  more 
thing — the  final  kiss. 

But  he  will  leave  that  to  Tony  and 
Sylvia ! 

The  End

try  blending  two  shades  of  eyeshadow  to- 
gether. A  blend  of  bine  and  green  is  often 
lovely  with  gray  eyes,  green  and  brown  for 
brown  eyes,  and  gray  and  blue  for  blue 
eyes.  Don't  use  the  same  color  both  night 
and  day.  Concentrate  on  your  more  glam- 
orous effects  for  evening. 

Sometimes  the  color  of  your  gown  t>ives 
you  a  chance  for  some  very  interesting  ef- 
fects, such  as  green  eyeshadow  and  mas- 
cara with  a  green  and  gold  evening  gown, 
or  mauve  eyeshadow  with  a  gray  costume 

i  and  a  corsage  of  violets. 

[  Here's  another  glamour  hint.  Apply 
just  a  touch  of  brilliantine  over  your  eye- 
shadow at  night.  It  gives  a  luminous  look. 
Which  reminds  me  of  the  new  luminous 
make-up  in  which  Phil  Spitalny  is  inter- 
ested. He  believes  it  has  tremendous  pos- 
sibilities for  use  with  television,  for  it 
gives  a  radiant  look  to  the  skin.    It  may 

i prove  practical  for  street  wear. 

Don't  forget  to  "shine  up"  your  eye- 
brows occasionally.    At  night  and  in  the 

.morning,  and  whenever  you  apply  fresh 

,  make-up,  take  your  tiny  eyebrow  brush, 
and  give  your  eyebrows  a  good  polishing. 

|A  little  eyelash-grower  cream  will  help. 

(Brush  the  eyebrows  in  the  opposite  way 
from  which  they  grow,  and  then  brush 
them  back  into  line. 

r  When  it  comes  to  plucking  the  eyebrows, 
>the  best  rule  is  to  pluck,  not  to  thin  them, 
but  rather  to  shape  them  according  to 
the  natural  bony  structure  of  your  brows. 
Eyebrows  are  no  more  alike  than  the 
■other  features  of  the  face,  so  don't  try  to 
shape  them  to  someone  else's  pattern.  Only 
ja  Gertrude  Niesen  type  could  stand  the 
exotic  arch  she  affects.  If  you  have  dark, 
isparkling  eyes,  a  hairline  brow  may  make 
Ij'our  eyes  look  beady  and  hard. 

Shape  your  eyebrows  with  a  brush  and 
pencil  as  much  as  possible.   After  you  draw 
ia  line  with  your  eyebrow  pencil,  brush  it 
Sver  with  your  eyebrow  brush  to  keep  it 
I  from  looking  artificial.     You  brush  the 
l>encil  mark  off  the  skin  on  to  the  hairs. 
|(  know  of  an  eyebrow  pencil  now  that  is

to  pierce  it.    How  to  reach  Barry  again. 

Barry  came  down  again  presently.  He 
had  on  a  dressing-gown  and  slippers,  and 
he  looked  somewhat  refreshed  after  his 
bath.  I  wanted  to  go  to  him,  to  fling  my 
arms  about  him,  but  I  could  not. 

We  had  coffee  and  fruit  together  on  the 
glassed-in  terrace.  The  sun  was  warm,  and 
everything  seemed  so  peaceful,  so  secure — 
as  if  no  storm  were  threatening. 

Barry  talked  casually  of  the  studio,  of 
his  ship.  "I'm  leaving  in  a  couple  of  hours," 
he  said.  "And — you'll  hear  from  me — I'll 
send  you  a  message — and  I'll  be  on  the 
air  tomorrow  night — so — don't  be  worried." 
He  lighted  a  cigarette  and  leaned  back  in 
his  chair. 

"I  won't  worry."  I  looked  at  him  stead- 
ily. For  a  moment  I  thought  wildly  of  my 
own  ship,  waiting  and  ready  for  that  un- 
charted journey.  "And  you  won't  worry — 
if  you  don't  hear  from  me?" 

He  looked  at  the  tip  of  his  cigarette. 
"No,"  he  said,  and  his  eyes  met  mine 
briefly,  then  turned  away.  "No — I  won't 
worry,  Ginny." 

Perhaps,  I  thought  hopefully,  we  under- 
stood each  other,  as  we  used  to  do.  I  did  not 
realize  how  troubled  his  own  heart  was, 
nor  that  his  thoughts  knew  a  confusion 
deeper  than  my  own.  If  only  we  had  talked 
frankly  together  then,  everything  might 
have  been  cleared  up — and  Barry  might 
not  have  to  set  out  on  that  journey  which 
was  to  result  in  so  much  pain.  But  habits 
of  reticence,  of  self-control,  make  shackles 
that  are  hard  to  break.  And  the  word 
that  might  have  unlocked  them  was  not 
spoken. 

Barry  sighed  and  crushed  out  his  cig- 
arette in  a  shallow  brass  bowl.  "Guess 
I'll  turn  in  for  an  hour,"  he  said,  as  we 
rose  from  the  table. 

Later  I  drove  him  out  to  the  field.  He 
took  me  in  his  arms  for  a  moment.  Kissed 
my  lips,  before  he  climbed  into  the  ship. 
And  my  eyes  were  misty  as  I  watched 
his  smooth,  expert  take-off.  I  prayed  fer- 
vently that  he  might  have  happy  landings. 
Then  I  turned,  to  drive  away  before  the 
blue  distance  had  shut  his  ship  finally 
from  sight. 

Bill  came  running  toward  me  from  the 
offices,  waving,  beckoning.  I  didn't  want 
to  stop,  but  I  couldn't  disregard  that  frantic 
summons. 

"Gosh,  I  wanted  to  catch  Barry  before 
he  left,"  he  said  disappointedly.  "Can  I 
drive  back  to  town  with  you,  Ginny  ?  I 
want  to  talk  to  you."  And  without  waiting, 
he  climbed  in  and  assembled  his  long  length 
in  the  front  seat  of  my  roadster.  "I  saw 
Barry  last  night,"  he  went  on.  "We  spent 
the  night  together  out  here.  He  " 

"Don't  talk  to  me  about  Barry,"  I  said 
sharply.  But  Bill's  words  stirred  the  ash 
of  despair  that  lay  so  heavily  on  my  heart. 
So  Barry  hadn't  been  with  Sandra !  Se- 
cretly, fervently,  I  apologized  to  him. 

"Okay,"  Bill  said.  But  he  looked  at  me 
anxiously.  "Did  you  have  a  talk  with  him? 
This  morning?" 

"No,"  I  said  reluctantly.  "He  had  to 
rest,     until     it     was     time     to  start." 


"I  wish  you  had  .  .  ."  Bill  sighed. 
"Look,  Ginny,"  he  went  on  insistently, 
"let  me  get  this  off  my  chest.  We  talked 
last  night,  Barry  and  I — but  I  was  a 
chuckle-headed  fool — I  didn't  get  him  right 
— I  gave  him  all  the  wrong  answers." 

The  car  swerved  sharply,  and  I  pulled 
to  the  side  of  the  road  in  a  swirl  of  sand 
"What  do  you  mean,  Bill?"  I  demanded 

"Well — look — "  Bill  fished  out  a  crum- 
pled pack  of  cigarettes  and  offered  me  one 
"Let's  go  back  a  bit,"  he  said,  striking  a 
broken-backed  match.  "I  was  crazy  about 
you  before  you  and  Barry  were  married, 
and  he  knew  it.  I  didn't  blame  him,"  he 
went  on  hastily.  "And  you  got  the  best 
man,  Ginny.  But  I  kept  on  thinking  you 
were  just  about  the  only  woman  in  the 
world — for  quite  a  while.  .  .  . 

"Well — last  night — "  he  threw  away  his 
cigarette  and  lighted  another,  "Barry  said 
'Getting  what  you  want  is  one  thing — 
keeping  it  is  another.' 

"'Not  if  you  know  you  want  it,'  I  said," 
Bill  continued. 

"  'You're  a  wise  man,  Bill,'  Barry  said. 
'The  parfait,  f/cntil  knight.' 

"'Well,'  I  told  him,  'if  I  get  the  girl  I 
want,  I'll  be  her  knight  and  day  and  all 
of  the  time — I  won't  give  her  the  chance 
to  think  another  woman  matters  to  me!'" 

"Well?"  I  said,  as  Bill  threw  away  the 
second  cigarette. 

"Well,"  Bill  blurted,  "he  thought  I  meant 
you — see?  And  I'd  been  thinking  hard 
about  Grace  all  day.  ...  I  got  a  new  job, 
and  a  new  ship,  and  things  look  pretty- 
good  to  me.  .  .  .  But  I  haven't  talked  to 
Grace  yet — so  I  didn't  say  anything  about 
it.  It  was  only  afterward  that  I  thought- 
he's  got  the  wrong  idea.  .  .  .  I've  a  hunch 
Sandra's  filled  him  up  with  it." 

"It  doesn't  matter,"  I  said  bitterly,  "if 
Barry's  in  love  with  Sandra." 

"Who  said  he's  in  love  with  her?  San- 
dra? That  woman  couldn't  tell  the  truth! 
I  bet  you  she  thought  she  was  losing  him, 
so  she  played  an  ace.  She  doesn't  want  to 
marry  him."  he  went  on.  "She  isn't  that 
kind  of  a  gal.  She  just  wants  to  get  you 
out  of  the  picture,  so  she  can  have  her 
way — and  when  she  does,  she'll  be  through 
with  him — and  Barry  will  be  finished." 

"Barry  isn't  a  weak  fool,"  I  said  stub- 
bornly. "He  ought  to  know  what  he  wants." 

"Barry's  got  everything  too  easily,  all 
his  life,"  Bill  said.  "He's  no  fool — he  just 
never  had  to  fight  for  anything  very  hard. 
True,  he's  been  in  ticklish  places,  where 
only  nerve  and  a  cool  head  saw  him 
through — but  that's  instinct.  It's  not  the 
sort  of  discipline  you  get  from  losing  a 
few  things  your  heart  was  set  on.  As 
soon  as  he  got  one  thing,  Barry  went  after 
something  else — so  when  he  got  what  he 
really  wanted,  he  just  played  along  in  the 
same  old  way,  without  thinking  he  was 
after  something  he  didn't  want,  maybe." 

I  started  the  car  again.  "I'm  glad  about 
you  and  Grace,  Bill,''  I  said  huskily.  "She's 
a  grand  girl — and  you're  so  fine — you 
ought  to  get  what  you  want." 

"If  I  do — "  Bill  grinned,  "it  will  be  more 
than  I  deserve !    But  you  sit  tight,  Ginny," 


RADIO  STARS 


he  said  earnestly.  "Stay  by  the  ship  till 
the  flight  is  finished.  Don't  bail  out.  And 
if  you  need  me,  I'm  here!"  He  gave  me 
a  long  look. 

We  were  back  in  the  city  now.  I  left 
Bill  at  the  Club. 

"Ring  me  up  if  you  have  any  news,"  he 
said.    "I'll  be  seeing  you." 

It  was  hard,  waiting — waiting,  thinking, 
wondering.  ...  I  was  glad  when  Grace 
dropped  in  the  next  evening.  We  had  a 
long  and  comforting  chat  together,  and 
I  was  happy  when  she  told  me  that  she 
and  Bill  were  engaged.  And  happier,  even, 
when  she  told  me  that  she,  too,  had  changed 
her  attitude  toward  Barry,  since  Bill  had 
talked  to  her. 

"There's  more  back  of  this  than  meets 
the  eye,"  Grace  said  thoughtfully.  "What 
can  it  be?" 

Suddenly  Sandra's  words  came  back  to 
me:  "You  have  no  subtlety.  You  could 
not  tell  a  lie!"  I  looked  at  Grace.  "She's 
lied  to  him  about  me,"  I  murmured. 

Grace  nodded.  "She's  told  him  you  are 
in  love  with  Bill — and  he  believes  it!" 
Grace  could  say  that  now,  knowing  Bill 
for  her  own.  "Bill  loved  you  first  .  .  . 
I'm  flattered,  Ginny,  even  to  be  second 
choice,  after  you !" 

"It's  not  second  choice,  darling,"  I  said 
huskily.  "Bill  never  asked  me — and  I 
never  loved  anyone  but  Barry." 

"You're  sweet!"  Grace  squeezed  my 
hand.  "Listen,  Ginny,  Sandra  sent  word 
to  the  papers  that  she  was  going  to  Cuba 
to  keep  a  concert  engagement.  I  checked 
up  on  it,  and  I  can't  discover  any  engage- 
ment. But  she  left  for  Cuba,  by  plane, 
day  before  yesterday." 

Just  after  she  called  on  me,  I  thought. 
"So  what?"  I  asked. 

"So — maybe  it  was  just  to  be  there  when 
he  was — but  I  think  there's  a  nigger  in 
the  woodpile  .  .  .  Something's  going  to 
break,"  Grace  said,  with  a  newspaper  wo- 
man's instinct. 

"Barry  left  earlier  than  he  had  planned 
to  go,"  I  mused.  "If  anything  happens — 
he'll  be  there!" 

When  Grace  left  I  hurried  over  to  the 
studio,  to  listen  in  on  Barry's  broadcast 
there — and,  secretly,  perhaps  I  hoped  to 
hear  something  of  Sandra's  plans.  I  was 
early,  and  as  I  waited  a  popular  columnist 
went  on  the  air,  dealing  out  the  spicy  gos- 
sip for  which  his  listeners  yearned.  He 
didn't  know  I  was  in  the  control  room 
when  he  spoke  of  Barry. 

"Cuba's  not  such  a  hot  spot  right  now," 
he  said  insinuatingly,  "unless  the  presence 
of  a  certain  sizzling  radio  songstress  makes 
it  so  for  our  Flying  Reporter — who  treks 
off  without  his  fair  wife,  Ginny  Fairfax." 

Bob  Blakeley,  who  is  my  favorite  an- 
nouncer, grinned  at  me.  "Now  you're  really 
famous,  Ginny  Fairfax,"  he  whispered. 
"You're  in  the  scandal  columns  !"  . 

But  when  it  was  his  moment  to  go  be- 
b  fore  the  mike,  he  mentioned  casually  that 
i  I  was  in  the  studio,  awaiting  a  promised 
■  message  from  my  husband — "who  never 
m  misses  an  opportunity  of  (letting  together 
K  with  his  devoted  ii'i/Y.  ivhatcvcr  mere  fhy- 
m  sical  distance  lies  between  them." 

I  flashed  him  a  grateful  glance,  as  he 
finished  and  came  out.  Then  I  tensed. 
Barry  was  coming  on. 

As  always  I  thrilled  at  the  sound  of  his 
warm,  vibrant  voice.  How  important,  how 
vivid  he  made  even  the  most  casual  cir- 


TAKE  YOUR  MIND 
OFF  YOUR  NOSE! 


Any  Face  Powder 


THAT  NEEDS  REPLACEMENT  IN  LESS  THAN 
4  HOURS  ISN'T  WORTHY  OF  THE  NAME! 


I  get  over  ten  thousand  letters 
a  week.  Among  them  are  not  a 
few  from  men.  And  most  of 
them  have  the  same  thing  to 
sav — or  rather,  the  same  kick  to  make. 

It's  this  nefarious  habit  women  have  of 
constantly  daubing  at  their  noses  in  public 
and  in  private. 

In  a  radio  talk  a  few  weeks  ago,  I  said  I 
wondered  what  young  men  think  w  hen  a  per- 
fectly lovely  girl  takes  out  her  powder  puff 
and  starts  to  dab  at  her  face  ana  here  is  the 
letter  that  answers  my  question  from  a  young 
man  of  Detroit,  Michigan,  who  signs  himself 
simply  "Dave."' 

"Dear  Lady  Esther:  Your  radio  talk  last 
night  hit  the  nail  squarely  on  the  head.  I 
know  many  of  us  would  like  to  voice  our 
opinion  but  can't.  I  hope  you  will  repeat 
your  message  to  the  women  of  the  world  so 
often  that  not  one  will  miss  hearing  you. 
What  can  be  worse  than  seeing  a  woman 
using  her  make-up  box  in  public,  on  the 
street,  in  the  stores,  at  the  table  where  she 
dines.  Please,  Lady  Esther,  I  hope  you  will 
be  the  means  of  putting  a  stop  to  this." 

Shiny  Nose,  No  Longer  a  Bucaboo 
There  is  no  question  that  it  is  annoying,  if 
not  a  wee  bit  disgusting,  to  see  a  woman 
constantly  peeking  into  her  mirror  or  daub- 
ing at  her  nose.   It  suggests  artificiality!  r 
But  to  be  perfectly  fair  to  women  there 
teas  a  time  when  they  were  justified  in 
worrying  about  their  nose-.  The  only  face 

Cowder  they  could  get  did  not  cling  or 
old.  It  was  no  sooner  put  on  than  it  was 
whisked  off,  leaving  the  nose  to  shine 
before  the  whole  world. 

But  when  1  brought  out  Lady  Esther 
Face  Powder,  I  ended  the  bugaboo  of 
shiny  nose.  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder  is 
distinctive  for  many  things,  not  the  lea*  t 


being  that  it  clinks'.  Bv  artual 
timing  under  all  conditions  it 
clings  perfectly  for  at  least 
four  hours,  not  needing  re- 
placement once  in  that  time.  Yet.  as  adhering 
as  it  is,  it  does  not  clog  the  pores.  It  goea 
onto  the  skin,  but  not  into  it. 

In  other  words,  while  this  face  powder 
forms  a  veil  of  delicate  beautv  over  the  skin, 
it  lets  the  skin  breathe.  This  not  onlv  per- 
mits the  skin  to  function,  which  is  c«s ential 
to  true  beauty,  but  it  also  helps  keep  the 
powder  intact.  This  is  one  reason  whv  I.ady 
Esther  Face  Powder  does  not  cake  or  streak 
on  the  face.

cumstance. 

"Hello,  friends,"  he  said.  "This  is  Barry 
Barrett,  going  to  press  with  only  a  few 
captions  from  Cuba  at  this  time.  You'll 
have  to  fill  in  the  stories  for  yourselves. 

"First  of  all,  the  revolution's  taking  a 
siesta.  I  got  here  twenty-four  hours  ahead 
of  schedule,  hoping  to  catch  it  awake — 
but  no  such  luck ! 

"However,  I  went  into  Sloppy  Joe's, 
where,  at  intervals,  an  old  friend  of  mine 
hangs  out — and  luckily  I  found  him  there. 
I  say  'luckily',  because  he  knows  practically 
all  that  goes  on,  wherever  he  is.  It  doesn't 
matter  to  him.  It  doesn't  concern  him  in 
any  way.  But  it  amuses  him,  sometimes, 
to  tell  me  what  he  knows. 

"He  is,  in  a  certain  sense,  a  derelict,  a 
beachcomber,  a  bit  of  jetsam  from  some 
forgotten  catastrophe.  But  he  has  brains, 
and  breeding,  and  money  enough  to  live 
on,  in  so  far  as  he  cares  to  live.  And  he 
is  a  gentleman  of  the  old  school,  with 
standards  that  now  are  largely  archaic. 

"Today  he  told  me  something  that  has 
nothing  to  do  with  the  affairs  I  came  down 
here  to  report.  Yet,  after  all,  maybe  this 
is  why  I  came.  ...  I  have  to  be  a  bit 
mysterious  about  it — for  the  sum  consists 
of  something  known,  something  overheard 
and  something  guessed,  and  I  may  not  be 
able  to  add  it  together  rightly  if  I  speak 
out  of  turn.  But  I  want  to  say  this — what- 
ever happens,  don't  be  alarmed,  and  don't 
take  any  action —  Leave  it  all  to  your  Uncle 
Barry!  I  want  all  the  limelight  for  my- 
self, you  see!"    And  he  laughed. 

"Now,  since  I  haven't  any  more  im- 
portant news,"  he  went  on,  let  me  tell  you 
something  that  I  read  this  afternoon.  My 
friend,  the  forgotten  man,  fell  asleep  over 
a  tall,  frosted  glass — the  latest,  I  imagine, 
of  a  long  series,  and  a  dog-eared  book  fell 
from  his  pocket.  I  picked  it  up,  and 
opened  it.  I  don't  think  he  would  mind 
your  peeping  over  my  shoulder.  He  is  a 
philosopher.  So — I  will  read  it  to  you : 

"'Until  she  came  to  vie  and  held  out 
her  arms,  I  never  thought  of  love.  Until 
her  face  was  close  to  mine,  I  never  re- 
alised what  love  might  be.  Until  my  lips 
met  hers  in  the  kiss  that  sums  up  all  life, 
I  never  knew  zvhat  love  was. 

"  'That  is  why  if  she  is  not  mine,  she  is 
nothing.  And  if  I  attain  not  to  her  level, 
I  am  nothing.  I  will  win  her,  1  will  win 
her,  though  my  body  be  lost  in  flame,  and 
my  perished  ivings  flutter  dozen  the  un- 
ending night.'  " 

The  air  was  silent  for  a  moment.  Then 
Barry  said :  "I  am  thinking  that  though 
wars  may  be  fought  and  empires  founded 
and  destroyed,  though  creeds  and  customs 
may  change,  yet  so  long  as  human  beings 
walk  the  face  of  the  earth,  the  love  of  a 
man  and  a  woman  will  be  the  one  thing  to 
survive,  when  all  else  is  forgotten. 

"This,"  he  ended  in  a  lighter  voice,  "is, 
if  you  will  forgive  me,  the  news  from  Cuba 
and  the  cosmic  spaces  !" 

I  hurried  away  as  soon  as  I  could,  after- 
ward. Away  from  Bob  and  the  studio  exe- 
cutives who  were  excitedly  discussing  what 
could  be  about  to  happen. 

"Barry  isn't  usually  so  mysterious,"  Bob 
said. 

"It  must  be  something  that  involves  our 
organization,"  Mr.  Bender,  one  of  the  exe- 
cutives, said  astutely. 

But  I  couldn't  think  about  that.  I 
could  think  only  of  the  words  Barry  had 

72 


read.  Was  it  a  message  for  me?  And 
was  it  me  he  meant?  Or  Sandra?  Oh, 
should  I  ever  know  the  truth?  I  wanted 
to  start  for  him  at  once,  but  I  felt  I  had 
to  wait  till  he  had  added  up  the  figures  in 
his  mysterious  sum. 

Word  came  the  next  morning.  Sandra 
had  been  kidnapped!  The  newspapers  wore 
streaming  headlines.  A  ransom  of  a  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars  was  demanded  of 
the  firm  to  which  Sandra  was  under  con- 
tract. Her  life  was  threatened  if  the 
proper  reply  was  not  forthcoming.  Ar- 
rangements would  be  made  for  the  ransom 
payment,  the  communication  said. 

Hours  dragged  by  as  we  awaited  word 
from  Barry.  Mindful  of  his  warning,  the 
studio  refused  to  comment.  They  made  no 
move.  Programs  went  on  the  air  as  usual 
and  no  one  made  any  mention  of  the 
"Kidnaped  Siren  of  Song"  as  the  papers 
were  calling  Sandra. 

At  last  Barry  came  on  the  air.  "Okay," 
he  said.  "Sandra  is  safe.  No  payment. 
Forget  it.    Can't  talk  now — sorry." 

His  voice  sounded  strange,  I  thought. 
Thick,  slurred,  somehow.  Was  it  fatigue? 
Was  he  hurt?  Suddenly  I  knew  I  had 
to  get  to  him.  I  rushed  to  telephone  the 
field. 

Bill  was  waiting  when  I  got  out  there. 
"I'm  ready  for  you,  Ginny,"  he  said.  "We'll 
go  in  my  new  ship.  She's  a  honey.  And 
rarin'  to  go." 

"Isn't  mine  faster?''  I  murmured,  as  we 
hurried  along. 

"Can't  beat  this  baby,"  Bill  said  rever- 
ently. "Besides,  she's  all  loaded."  And  he 
helped  me  in. 

I  don't  remember  what  time  it  was  when 
we  started.  I  was  dazed  with  an  intuitive 
sense  of  deadly  danger  to  Barry.  "Faster ! 
Faster !"  I  prayed  silently,  to  the  smooth 
sound  of  the  high-powered  motors.  I  re- 
member the  setting  sun  reddening  the  water 
beneath  us.  Then  moonlight,  turning  the 
clouds  to  silver  beneath  the  ship  as  Bill 
climbed  higher  to  make  more  speed.  At 
last  the  clouds  became  a  shining  sea  of 
gold.  It  must  be  a  new  day.  .  .  I  caught 
my  breath  at  the  sudden  glory.  Was  it  an 
omen  ? 

We  were  dropping  lower  now,  and  soon 
I  saw  the  outline  of  the  island  beneath  us. 
Bill  knew  his  way  about.  There's  prob- 
ably no  spot  on  the  globe  that  he  hasn't 
touched  at  some  time  or  other. 

We  found  a  small  army  of  ragged  boys 
on  guard  about  Barry's  plane.  They  tensed 
suspiciously  as  we  came  up,  but  Bill  sum- 
moned some  vagrant  pseudo  Spanish. 
" Amiga,"  he  patted  his  chest.  "Mujer,"  he 
pointed  to  me.  And  grinned  as  only  Bill 
can  grin,  which  is  good  in  any  language. 
"Casaf"  Bill  asked,  and  jingled  some  coins 
suggestively. 

After  a  chattered  conference  one  urchin 
detached  himself  from  the  group.  "I  know 
— me,"  he  said  grandly.  "You  come — he 
say  you  come."  He  was  looking  at  me, 
and  a  wave  of  hope  swept  over  me. 

We  followed  him  swiftly  to  a  hotel  on 
the  outskirts  of  the  city.  There  our  guide 
shrugged  his  shoulders.  "You  go,"  he 
said. 

Bill  gave  him  a  handful  of  silver,  and 
the  boy  darted  off  again. 

The  clerk  at  the  desk  studied  Bill  with 
cynical,  suspicious  eyes.  Then  he  gave  us 
the  number  of  Barry's  room,  and  motioned 
toward  the  elevator.   He  didn't  phone  up. 


"Guess  he  thinks  it's  a  raiding  party," 
Bill  said  tactlessly  as  the  elevator  rose 
slowly. 

I  paled.  No,  Barry  couldn't  do  that ! 
But  I  trembled  as  Bill  knocked,  fearful  of 
what  lay  behind  that  closed  door. 

"Come  in,"  Barry  called,  still  in  that 
blurred,  uneven  voice,  so  unlike  his  usual 
clear-cut  speech. 
Bill  opened  the  door. 
I  suppose  I  should  have  known  Sandra 
would  be  there.  But,  all  the  way,  I  had 
been  thinking  so  passionately  of  Barry,  I 
had  almost  forgotten  her  existence.  Even 
now,  as  I  saw  her  standing  there  in  the 
room,  her  back  to  the  window,  I  was  aware 
only  of  the  figure  on  the  tumbled  bed. 

"Barry  |"  I  rushed  to  him.  "What  has 
happened?    Are  you  ill?    Are  you  hurt?" 

But  as  I  bent  over  him  he  held  out  a 
hand,  as  if  to  thrust  me  back.  "Don't  be 
— distressed,"  he  said,  and  his  lips  curved 
in  a  strained,  bitter  smile.  "I  thought — 
you'd  come,"  he  added.  "You — and 
Bill.  .  .  ."  Suddenly  his  eyes  closed.  "You 
—and — Bill — "  he  whispered. 

For  a  moment  I  felt  shaken  with  panic. 
He  looked  dreadfully  !  What  had  happened 
to  him?  What  should  we  do?  My  eyes 
went  wretchedly  to  Bill,  who  stood  silent, 
stricken  as  I  was  with  the  knowledge  that 
his  love  for  both  of  us  again  had  wrought 
a  tragic  misunderstanding.  And  all  be- 
cause of  

Slowly  my  eyes  turned  to  Sandra.  Still 
she  did  not  speak,  and  the  scarcely  percep- 
tible shrug  of  her  shoulders,  the  tighten- 
ing of  her  full  red  lips,  tortured  me. 

"What's  happened?"  I  cried  out  to  her. 
"Tell  me — tell  me  everything!" 

She  moved  with  slow,  feline  grace  to- 
ward the  foot  of  the  bed.  Looked  down 
at  Barry  with  an  inscrutable  smile.  "He 
is  brave,"  she  said,  with  a  gesture  of  long, 
slim  hands.  "But — foolish!  I  think  he 
will  not  die.  .  .  .  Fools  live — always !" 

Furious  anger  shook  me.  "Yes,"  I  blazed, 
"he  was  foolish  enough  to  save  you  from 
kidnapers!  Is  he  hurt?  Did  something 
happen  when  he  rescued  you?" 

Again  she  shrugged.  "Perhaps.  .  .  . 
He  did  not  tell  me." 

"Sandra,"  I  said  passionately,  "do  you 
love  him?  You  told  me  that  you  did.  .  .  . 
And  he  has  saved  your  life,  perhaps  .  .  . 
What  have  you  done  for  him?  Has  he 
seen  a  doctor?  Shall  I  go  away — and 
leave  him — with  you  ?"  I  knew  that  I  never 
could  leave  him  now — but  I  had  to  find 
out  where  she  stood. 

I  felt  a  surge  of  relief  at  her  answer, 
though  it  told  me  little. 

"No,"  she  answered,  with  a  violence  that 
seemed  the  greater  for  its  very  quietness. 
"No — I  cannot  stay  here  in  Cuba !  It  is 
not  safe.  It  is  necessary  that  I  leave  at 
once.  I  could  not  go  before.  My  money 
was — stolen.  He  said  you  would  come." 
She  turned  to  Bill.  "You  will  take  me 
home — at  once  !"  she  said. 

Bill  said  nothing.  He  looked  at  me.  Then 
he  put  his  hand  on  Barry's  shoulder. 
"Barry!"  he  said.  "You've  got  things  all 
wrong.  Barry  .  .  .  Barry !" 

But  Barry  did  not  open  his  eyes.  Did 
not  answer. 

"Go — "  I  urged  Bill  toward  the  door. 
"Get  a  doctor — hurry — then  take  her  back. 
I'll  stay." 

"I  don't  like  to  leave  you.  Ginny — "  Bill 
began,  looking  at  me  with  troubled  eyes.

But  Sandra  moved  toward  him.  "It  will 
be  better  for  all — if  we  go  now,  at  once," 
she  said  with  cold  determination.  "He 
wants  me  to  go — now." 

"He  wants  you  to  go?"  I  faced  her  pas- 
sionately.   "Does  he — love  you?" 

Sandra  shrugged.  "Why  not?"  And  she 
smiled. 

But  I  thought  her  eyes,  as  they  rested 
for  a  moment  on  Barry,  blazed  with  a 
sudden  secret  hatred. 

Barry  moved.  "Take  her — home,"  he 
said  without  opening  his  eyes.  "She  knows 
— what — say  " 

"Hurry,  Bill — a  doctor — the  best  you  can 
get — then  go.  Take  her."  I  pushed  him 
toward  the  door.  "And  thanks — for  every- 
thing." 

"Where  are  your  things?"  Bill  asked 
Sandra  coldly. 

"I  have  none  here — this  is  not  my  hotel." 
She  snatched  up  a  coat  and  flung  it  about 
her.    "Get  me  out  of  here." 

"I'll  send  a  doctor."  Bill  looked  at  me 
anxiously.    "Sure  you'll  be  all  right?" 

"We'll  be  fine."  I  moved  to  thrust  up 
a  window.  "When  I  get  this  scent  out  of 
the  room !"  I  couldn't  resist  that. 

Bill  grinned.  He  wrung  my  hand.  "I'll 
send  a  kid  up  with  your  bag,"  he  said.  "And 
— I'll  be  seeing  you!"  And  he  followed 
Sandra  out. 

Hurriedly  I  straightened  up  the  room. 
Barry  was  fully  dressed,  I  saw,  save  for 
his  coat  and  shoes.  I  found  his  bag  and 
got  out  his  pyjamas — but  I  feared  to  dis- 
turb him  if  I  tried  to  change  his  things. 
I  bathed  his  face  and  hands,  shaken  with 
anxiety  at  the  burning  touch.  The  cool 
water   seemed  to  arouse  him  somewhat. 


"Until  my  lips — met  hers — never  knew 
— u-hat  love  zvas,"  he  mumbled.  Then,  in 
a  whisper  :  "Sandra  " 

Tears  Stung  my  eyes.  Perhaps  he  did 
love  her  .  .  .  She  was  fascinating  .  .  .  She 
was  beautiful  .  .  .  And  her  glorious  voice, 
warm,  rich  and  tender,  as  I  had  listened  to 
it  over  the  radio,  had  wound  about  even 
my  unwilling  heart.  Oh,  I  could  see  how 
Barry  might  have  drifted  under  her  spell! 

But  she  was  gone  now !  And  he  was 
mine  to  care  for — mine  alone !  Mine  to 
love  .  .  .  Mine  to  save  .  .  . 

"I  will  not  let  you  go!"  I  told  him 
wildly.  "Sandra  cannot  take  you  from  me  ! 
Not  even  death  can  take  vou  from  me ! 
Barry — Barry,  darling — wake  up  and  hear 
me!"  I  rubbed  his  hands,  stroked  his  head. 
"You're  going  to  be  all  right,  Barry  dear 
— you're  going  to  get  well — you're  going 
to  be  all  right !  I  love  you  so,"  I  told  him 
tensely.  "I  want  you !  I  need  you !  Oh, 
Barry — Barry,  darling — I   love  you  so!" 

There  was  a  knock  at  the  door.  I 
opened  it. 

"I'm  Doctor  Gonzales,"  said  a  short, 
swarthy,  dapper  young  man.  His  eyes 
went  quickly  past  me  to  the  bed.  "How 
can  I  serve  Barry  Barrett?"  He  spoke  the 
name  with  awed  interest. 

Then  his  eyes  darkened.  Without  an- 
other word,  without  a  glance  at  me,  he 
went  swiftly  to  work.  With  quick,  deft 
hands  he  removed  Barry's  clothing.  Slipped 
on  the  pyjamas  I  handed  him.  Carefully 
he  examined  him. 

And,  following  every  move  with  anxious 
eyes,  I  gasped  with  fear  and  horror  as  a 
dark,  dreadful  wound  was  disclosed,  be- 
neath a  rough  dressing  on  his  upper  arm. 


A  bullet  wound  !  And  on  the  back  of  his 
head  a  ghastly  bruise. 

"W  hen  did  this  happen?"  For  the  first 
time  the  doctor  turned  a  penetrating  naze 
on  me. 

"I've  no  idea!"  I  gasped.  "I  only  ar- 
rived, by  plane,  half  an  hour  ajjo.  He — 
he  hasn't  been  able  to  say  what  happened." 

"H'm  .  .  .  You're  Ginny  Fairfax,  of 
course."  He  looked  at  mc  keenly,  almost 
incredulously.  "There's  been  some  other 
woman  here — that  scent — "  he  sniffed.  "But 
never  mind — these  things  happen.  You 
can  trust  me." 

"You  know  Barry  Barrett,"  I  said  des- 
perately. "He's  always  where  things  hap- 
pen !  He  saved  that  woman  from  kid- 
napers." 

"Don't  worry,"  he  said  briefly.  And  ex- 
pertly he  cleansed  and  dressed  the  wounds. 

When  he  had  finished  I  bent  over  Barry. 
"We'll  laugh  at  this  together  some  day, 
sweetheart,"  I  whispered,  my  lips  against 
his  thick  fair  hair. 

But  fear  gripped  me  as  the  doctor  beck- 
oned me  out  of  the  room.  "I  don't  want 
to  alarm  you  needlessly,  Mrs.  Barrett,"  he 
said  with  genuine  feeling,  "but  these 
wounds  are  at  least  twenty- four  hours  old, 
and  they've  had  only  superficial  attention. 
There's  infection.  .  .  But  try  not  to  worry. 
I'll  send  nurses — and  I'll  bring  another 
doctor,  if  you  say — anyone  you  wish." 

"I  don't  know  anyone  here,"  I  told  him. 
"But  I  know  you  must  be  the  best  doctor 
available."  Bill  would  have  demanded  that, 
I  knew. 

He  smiled.  "Then,  if  you  have  confi- 
dence in  me,  let  me  suggest  the  hospital.

here closely  to  the  skin.  In  fact,  Savage  Rouge, 
for  this  reason,  clings  so  insistently,  it  seems 
to  become  a  part  of  the  skin  itself . .  .  refusing 
to  yield,  even  to  the  savage  caresses  its  tempt- 
ing smoothness  and  pulse-quickening  color 
so  easily  invite.  Try  it.  You'll  see  the  differ- 
ence instantly!  Four  lovely  shades.

would  be  better.  We  may  have  to  have 
a  transfusion." 

Hours  went  by  on  leaden  feet,  lengthened 
into  endless  days.  Hoping,  fearing,  pray- 
ing, I  sat  or  stood  by  that  white  hospital 
bed,  while  doctors  came  and  went,  and 
nurses  worked  and  watched  and  waited. 
Twice  I  gave  my  blood.  And  Bill,  who 
had  flown  back  again  with  Grace,  gave  his. 
And  there  were  other  transfusions.  Each 
time  there  seemed  a  promising  gain.  Then 
the  momentary  improvement  faded  and 
a  deeper,  more  ominous  lethargy  ensued. 

Barry  opened  his  eyes  and  looked  at 
me  from  time  to  time,  but  he  did  not  speak 
or  smile.  It  was  as  if  he  had  gone  too 
far  now  to  feel  any  of  the  old,  dear  emo- 
tions. 

For  hours  I  held  his  hand  in  mine.  And 
it  seemed  as  if  all  the  meaning  of  life 
lay  in  that  desperate  handclasp — so  tense 
on  my  part,  so  unresponsive  on  his. 

Sometimes,  as  he  slept.  I  poured  out  in 
hushed  whispers  the  whole  pitiful  story  of 
our  misunderstanding.  And  though  he  did 
not  seem  to  hear,  I  felt  that  somehow  it 
sank  into  his  consciousness. 

Sometimes  Bill  and  Grace  came  softly 
into  the  room,  but  they  did  not  stay  for 
more  than  a  minute.  Sometimes  they 
dragged  me  out,  to  walk  along  the  Drive 
with  them  for  a  breath  of  air.  But  I 
could  not  bear  to  be  long  away  from  that 
room.  .  .  . 

They  told  me  about  the  kidnaping,  as 
they  had  put  the  story  together  from 
Sandra's  version  and  from  that  of  Barry's 
"forgotten  man,"  whom  they  had  ferretted 
out  and  talked  with.  Barry,  too,  in  some 
of  his  fevered  mutterings,  had  shed  fur- 
ther light  on  the  fantastic  tale. 

Sandra's  story,  for  her  public,  Bill  said, 
was  that  Barry  cleverly  had  discovered  the 
trail  of  her  kidnapers,  and  daringly  had 
followed  to  rescue  her.  And  though  he 
had  got  her  away,  he  had  been  shot 
as  they  escaped.  She  had  embroidered  it 
convincingly  with  essential  detail.  And 
she  had  made  Barry  a  hero !  It  was  clever 
of  Sandra !  And  now,  Bill  said,  she  was 
going  to  Hollywood — for  the  movies,  quick 
to  capitalize  on  publicity,  had  made  her  an 
amazing  offer. 

The  old  man's  story  lent  a  different  color 
to  the  affair.  There  had  been  a  plot,  which 
he  had  overheard.  And,  though  himself 
an  inconspicuous,  almost  anonymous  figure, 
he  knew  nearly  everybody  who  came  and 
went  in  that  city  of  refuge  and  revolution. 
Sandra  he  did  not  know,  but  the  others  he 
knew,  and  Barry,  of  course,  when  he  heard 
the  story,  was  able  to  guess  at  the  identity 
of  the  beautiful  and  exotic  stranger. 

Barry's  guess,  as  he  listened  to  the  tale, 
was  that  Sandra  had  staged  the  kidnaping 
party,  perhaps,  so  that  he  might  figure  as 
her  hero,  or  a  lover  saving  the  life  of  his 
adored  one — or,  perhaps,  so  that  they  might 
keep  a  rendezvous  together  in  some  remote 
and  romantic  hideaway. 

But  the  plot,  somehow,  had  got  out  of 
Sandra's  hands,  and  her  confederates — 
one  of  whom  Barry  believed  to  be  Sandra's 
divorced  husband,  determined  to  make  more 
money  on  it  than  Sandra  could  offer  them. 
Barry  was  to  be  lured  to  the  hideaway — and 
both  were  to  be  held  for  a  proper  ransom. 
Sandra  thought  she  still  had  time  to  work 
out  a  solution,  but  Barry's  unexpectedly 
early  arrival  had  complicated  the  matter, 
and  before  she  could  protest,  she  was  in- 


volved  irrevocably   in  the  sorry  scheme. 

But  Barry's  response  to  the  decoy  note 
left  in  Sandra's  handwriting  was  to  fly 
over  the  hideaway,  which  through  the 
derelict's  help  he  had  been  able  to  dis- 
cover, and  drop  an  answering  note,  which 
read  : 

"If  you  are  not  back  in  your  hotel 
within  six  hours,  the  icorld  will  know 
a  story  that  will  forever  prevent  your 
showing  your  face  ayain." 
And    so    Sandra   had    returned.  But 
when  Barry,  carelessly  confident,  had  gone 
to  her  hotel  to  face  her,  the  frustrated 
kidnapers  had  made  a  daring  attempt  to 
seize  Barry.     They  had  hit  him  on  the 
head  and  dragged  him  into  their  car.  But 
as  they  were  speeding  away,  he  had  re- 
gained consciousness,  and,  taking  them  off 
guard,  had  escaped.    That  was  when  he 
had  been  shot. 

He  had  gone  back  to  his  hotel  and  sum- 
moned her  there — had  demanded  that  she 
stay  where  he  could  see  her,  till  he  could 
arrange  to  send  her  home.  And  in  those 
brief,  bitter  hours  till  Bill  and  I  had  ar- 
rived, their  futile  infatuation  had  died  an 
ugly  death.  Barry's  scorn  had  flayed  her, 
and  she  had  hated  him  for  it.  Poor  Sandra 
— stripped  of  her  mystery — was  a  woman 
despised ! 

This  story,  coming  out  bit  by  bit  on 
our  brief  walks,  brought  some  balm  to  my 
tortured  heart.  Barry  did  not  love  Sandra 
now !  He  could  not !  Not  after  that  reve- 
lation of  sordidness  and  treachery  !  Perhaps 
he  never  had  loved  her,  really.  He  had 
found  her  charming  and  delightful,  natur- 
ally— and  she  had  persuaded  him  that  I 
loved  Bill — had  played  the  role  of  the  un- 
derstanding friend — the  comforter.  .  .  . 
And  then  she  had  made  a  misstep — and  he 
had  seen  the  treacherous  face  behind  the 
lovely  mask ! 

But  all  this  mattered  little  to  me  now.  It 
mattered  only  that  Barry  should  get  well. 
And  always  I  fled  anxiously  back  to  his 
room,  to  hold  his  hand  again,  and  wait, 
with  desperate  hope. 

At  last,  one  afternoon,  his  lids  settled 
whitely  over  his  sunken  eyes.  I  called  to 
him,  but  he  did  not  stir.  Scarcely  he  seemed 
to  breathe.  I  caught  a  queer  expression 
about  the  lips  of  the  nurse,  whose  capable 
hand  held  his  pulse.  With  the  other  hand 
she  reached  for  the  buzzer  to  summon  the 
doctor. 

Then  I  heard  a  movement  behind  me. 
Bill  and  Grace  had  come  into  the  room. 
They  stood,  looking  down  with  drawn, 
agonized  faces.  Suddenly  Bill  made  a 
dreadful,  choking  sound  in  his  throat.  Grace 
put  her  arm  about  him,  pressed  her  other 
hand  against  his  lips. 

And  then,  as  if  that  tragic  sound  had  I 
somehow  reached  him,  Barry's  eyes  slowly  I- 
opened.    He  looked  up  into  my  face.  Then 
his  eyes  moved  to  rest  on  Grace  and  Bill.  I 
They  still  stood,  arm  in  arm,  as  two  can  I 
only  stand  together  whose  hearts  are  one  «... 
in  some  grief-stricken  moment. 

Barry's  lips  moved.  "Grace — and  Bill,"  \  - 
he  said,  almost  soundlessly. 

Grace  had  an  inspiration.  She  thrust  out  I  ?• 
her  left  hand,  on  which  a  new,  fine  diamond 
winked  bravely  in  the  afternoon  sunlight. 
"Hurry  and  get  well,  Barry,"  she  said 
clearly  and  firmly,  "so  you  and  Ginny  can 
stand  up  with  us." 

His  gaze  came  back  to  me.  and  I  nodded 
and  smiled  with  desperate  cheer.    "You  <

must  get  well  soon,  darling,"  I  said.  "We 
don't  want  them  to  put  off  their  wedding 
too  long." 

His  eyes  held  mine  for  a  long  moment. 
Then  I  felt  his  handclasp  strengthen  al- 
most imperceptibly  in  mine.  I  drew  a  long 
breath  that  was  a  fervent  prayer. 

And  then  the  doctor  came  in. 

It  had  needed  something,  he  explained  to 
us  afterward,  something  to  make  Barry 
fight  to  get  well.  And,  looking  at  us  un- 
derstandingly,  he  saw,  I  think,  as  doctors 
do.  much  that  had  secretly  complicated  his 
battle. 

"And  from  what  I  know  of  Barry  Bar- 
rett," he  said  now,  "I  feel  entirely  confident 
that  he  will  come  through  safely." 

And,  indeed,  from  that  moment  he 
gained,  slowly,  but  surely  and  steadily,  and 
with  no  set-backs. 

One  evening  we  had  a  microphone  set 
up  in  Barry's  room.  Bill  made  the  ar- 
rangements. The  doctor  approved.  "The 
fire  siren  to  the  old  horse,  eh?"  he 
chuckled.    "That  is  a  good  idea." 

It  was  a  thrilling  moment.  Mr.  Bender, 
whose  love  and  anxiety  for  Barry  had 
brought  him  down  to  us,  was  there,  and  he 
beamed  mistily  through  his  thick  glasses 
when  from  that  small,  hospital  bedroom 
Barry  Barrett  once  more  went  on  the  air. 

I  brought  the  milk  to  where  Barry  lay, 
propped  up  with  pillows.  His  eyes  shone 
as  he  began  to  speak,  and  I  felt  a  warm 
thrill  of  joy  as  his  voice  came  with  the 
old,  familiar  ring. 

"Hello,  friends,"  he  said.  "This  is  Barry 
Barrett,  going  to  press — to  tell  you  some 
surprising  news  about  Cuba.  It  has  be- 
come, for  the  moment,  a  new  Eden.  I 
couldn't  make  much  of  a  revolution  down 
here,"  he  went  on.  "It  sort  of  folded  up 
on  me.  But  thanks  to  your  popular  song- 
stress, I  managed  to  find  a  little  excite- 
ment. However,  the  kidnaping  was  a 
dud,  too —  and  the  bullet  I  stopped  didn't 
have  my  name  on  it,  after  all.  .  .  . 

"But  here's  news  from  Eden — Ginny 
Fairfax,  the  noted  flyer,  and  her  battered 
bridegroom,  Barry  Barrett,  are  soon  to 
start  on  a  second  honeymoon.  And  not 
even  an  army  with  banners  can  stop  that ! 

"And  when  we  come  back,"  he  added, 
"we're  going  to  be  bridesmaid  and  best  man 
at  another  wedding — when  the  well-known 
writer,  Grace  Meldrum,  will  be  middle- 
aisling  with  the  popular  flying  man,  old  Bill 
Willoughby  .  .  .  I'm  cutting  in  on  the  col- 
umnists," he  apologized,  "but  you  have  to 
expect  this  sort  of  news,  from  Eden !  I 
i  tell  Grace  good  flyers  make  bad  hus- 
bands— "  he  was  saying,  but  I  took  the 
microphone  gently  from  his  hands. 

"Hello,"  I  said  breathlessly,  "this  is 
Ginny  Fairfax,  taking  the  floor  from  un- 
der her  husband's  feet,  to  wish  Grace  Mel- 
drum the  kind  of  happiness  I've  found  with 
a  flying  man !"  I  handed  the  mike  to  Grace. 

"And  that's  good  enough  for  me — Grace 
Meldrum,"  she  said  feverently.  "And  here's 
Bill,  himself,  to  sav  : 

!•  "Ha  ppy  landings  to  everyone!"  Bill 
boomed,  like  a  modern  Tiny  Tim ! 

|l  Then  Mr.  Bender  spoke  a  few  graceful 
sentences,  and  Bob  Blakely  called  back 
.ongratulations  and  good  wishes  for  us 
ill,  and  an  especial  cheerio  for  Barry.  And, 
istening,  we  heard  the  clapping  of  far- 
)ff  hands — Barry's  friends,  wishing  him 
*-ell.  And  it  sounded  like  music  to  my 
•ars.

And  then  the  broadcast  was  finished. 
Soon  the  others  all  had  gone,  and  Barry 
and  I  were  alone  together.  He  fay  back 
on  the  pillows,  a  little  flush  in  his  thin 
cheeks,  but  his  grip  on  my  hand  was  firm 
enough  now. 

"Ginny,"  he  said  softly,  "why  is  it  that 
I  can  talk  to  the  whole  wide  world  more 
easily  than  I  can  talk  to  you — when  I  love 
you  so  terribly !" 

"Perhaps,"  I  whispered  against  his 
cheek,  "it  is  because  we  do  love  each  other 
so  terribly — and  love  never  did  have  an 
adequate  language." 

He  squeezed  my  hand.  "I  remember  a 
fairy  story,"  he  said  dreamily,  "about  a 
king,  who  was  going  to  reward  a  knight  for 
some  service  done.  And  he  told  him  to 
go  through  all  the  rooms  of  his  castle,  and 
take  from  any  one  of  them  what  he  would 
choose  for  his  reward.  And  as  the  knight 
was  passing,  the  king's  daughter  whisp- 
ered to  him :  'Don't  choose  till  you  come 
to  the  last  room.'  So  he  went  through 
rooms  of  silver,  and  rooms  of  gold,  and 
rooms  of  diamonds  and  rubies  and  other 
treasures.  And  at  last  he  came  to  a  room 
which  was  empty,  save  for  the  king's 
daughter.    And  he  knew  he  had  come  to 


the  last  room — because  there  could  be  noth- 
ing lovelier.  .  .  . 

"I've  come  to  the  last  room,  Ginny,"  he 
said,  very  low.  "There  never  will  be  an- 
other one,  for  me." 

"Darling!  Darling,"  I  said  happily,  "if 
I  have  anything  to  say  about  it,  I  shall  be 
in  every  room  !    Forever  and  ever  !" 

"Stout  fella  1"  Barry  said.  And  we  both 
laughed. 

"Is  that  good  enough?"  I  teased  him, 
after  a  moment.  "Just  stout  fella — good 
sport — just  a  flying  lady!  There's  no  subt- 
lety about  me,"  I  quoted.  "No  mystery 
— men  like  mystery  !'  " 

"It's  a  mystery  to  me  that  you  can  love 
me,"  Barry  said  humbly.  "And  that's  all 
the  mystery  I  want  in  this  life!" 

His  lips  sought  mine,  warm  and  eager. 

"'Until  she  came  to  me  and  held  out  her 
anus,  I  never  thought  of  love,' "  he  quoted 
again,  after  a  silent  moment.  "'Until  her 
face  Tvas  close  to  mine,  I  never  realized 
what  love  might  be.  Until  my  lips  met  hers 
in  the  kiss  that  sums  up  all  life,  I  never 
knew  what  love  was.' " 

"Darling  ..."  I  whispered.

souri,  then  ran  away  to  join  a  medi- 
cine show  when  he  was  sixteen. 
Though  he  was  once  just  a  penniless 
actor  bumming  his  way  on  a  freight 
train,  he  was  arrested  for  bank  rob- 
bery in  Kansas  City 'and  it  took  him 
two  days  to  get  out  of  jail. 

Niece:  You'd  never  have  got  out!  How 
about  Sassafras? 

Unkie:  Oh,  yeh?  Well,  Sassafras'  (try 
that  on  your  ocarina)  real  name  is 
Johnnie  Welsh.  He's  younger  than 
Honeyboy,- having  been  born  in  Dal- 
las, Texas,  April  11th,  1903.  He  is  six 
feet  tall,  weighs  two  hundred  pounds, 
has  a  brunette  complexion  and  blue 
eyes.  By  trade  he  was  a  printing 
pressman  before  he  met  Fields  at 
KGKO,  Wichita  Falls,  Texas,  in  1928, 
and  they  teamed  up.  They  are  both 
married  and  both  are  fond  of  hunt- 
ing, but  I  don't  know  whether  there's 
any  connection. 

Xephew:  Stop  being  funny  and  describe 
Lew  Palmer,  that  vocalist  who  sings 
with  Jan  Garber's  orchestra. 

Unkie:  Lew  has  black  hair,  dark  brown 
eyes,  light  complexion,  is  five  feet  six 
inches  tall  and  weighs  one  hundred 
and  forty  pounds.  Thought  you  could 
stick  me,  eh? 

Niece:  Maybe  you  can't  tell  n.e  about 
Announcer  Paul  Douglas. 

Unkie:  Suppose  I  couldn't.  Suppose  I 
couldn't  tell  that  Paul  got  his  break 
in  radio  when  he  wandered  into 
WCAU,  Philadelphia,  during  a  pro- 
gram  on  which  celebrities  were  being 
introduced  and  that  the  announcer, 
mistaking  him  for  one  of  them,  put 
him  on  the  air,  not  realizing  his  mis- 
take until  too  late.  Or  that  later  he 
got  an  audition  and  job  as  announcer 


there.  Or  that  he  is  six  feet  tall, 
weighs  one  hundred  and  ninety-five 
pounds,  has  blue  eyes  and  dark  brown 
hair.  Or  that  he  was  born  on  April 
11th,  1907,  and  is  divorced.  Suppose 
I  couldn't  tell  you  all  that,  what  then? 
Nephew:  Still  don't  think  you  can  tell 
w  ho  plays  those  parts  on  the  Grandpa 
Burton  program  Mondays,  Wednes- 
days and  Fridays  at  5:15  Eastern 
Standard. 

Unkie:  A  snap,  you  little  whelp!  All 
the  parts  played  by  a  lad  named  Bill 
Baar. 

Niece:  Here's  a  sticker  for  you.  Is 
Charles  Winninger  returning  to  Show 
Boat  as  Captain  Henry? 

Unkie:  That's  a  sticker  for  everyone. 
NBC  says  no,  and  doubts  that  he  ever 
will  again.    Here,  here,  don't  cry! 

Nephew:  I'll  agree,  if  you'll  tell  us 
whether  or  not  Leonard  Keller,  or- 
chestra leader  and  tone  poet,  is  still 
in  Chicago. 

Unkie:  Was  the  last  we  knew,  which 
was  just  the  other  day.  He  is  playing 
in  the  Bismarck  Hotel. 

Niece:  Hi-de-hi,  Unksie.  Is  Cab  Callo- 
way married  and  if  so  how  long  has 
he  been?  Has  he  any  children. 
What's  his  wife's  name  and  age? 
Was  she  a  professional  before  she 
married?  How  old  is  Blanche  Callo- 
way and  is  she  married? 

Unkie:  Ho-de-ho,  niecie.  You  make  me 
dizzy!  Cab's  been  married  about  five 
years,  has  no  children.  His  wife's 
maiden  name  is  Wenonah  Conacher 
and  she  is  twenty-six.  She  was  a 
non-professional.  Blanche  is  thirty 
and  married  to  a  non-professional. 

Nephew:  Listen,  what  was  the  idea  of 
saying  in  Radio  Stars  that  Mel  Jenn

sen  leads  the  Casa  Loma  band  when 
it's  called  Glen  Gray's  Casa  Loma  Or- 
chestra. 

Vnkie:  The  idea  was,  young  man,  on  ac- 
count of  the  fact  that  Glen  is  too 
busy  tooting  the  saxophone  and  has 
to  leave  the  conducting  up  to  Jennsen, 
the  violinist.  It's  called  Glen  Gray's 
Orchestra  because  Glen  was  the  or- 
ganizer and  is  president  of  the  cor- 
poration. Thought  you'd  catch  me! 
Niece:  No,  we  didn't.  We  just  like  to 
see  your  ears  wiggle  when  you're 
mad.  Now  tell  us  something  about 
Gertrude  Niesen. 
Vnkie:  Well,  Gertie  asserts  that  she  was 
born  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  on  July  8th, 
1912.  and  was  educated  in  public 
schools  there.  Also  went  to  New 
York  University.  Her  network  debut 
was  said  to  have  resulted  from  radio 
men  having  seen  her  do  an  imitation 
of  Lyda  Roberti  at  a  night  club.  She 
likes  sailing,  deep-sea  fishing  and 
horseback  riding.  She  is  five  feet 
four  inches  tall,  weighs  one  hundred 
and  fifteen  pounds,  has  dark  hair  and 
green-gray  eyes.  She  is  not  married 
and  says  she  doesn't  know  what  her 
ideal  man  is,  but  she's  been  seen 
about  quite  a  bit  lately  with  Joe 
Schenck,  radio  executive. 
Vephew:  Well,  that's  okay,  long's  she 
keeps  away  from  you.  We  hadda 
argument  about  exactly  when  and 
where  Rudy  Vallee  was  born. 
rnkie:  Rudy  was  born  (as  you  know, 
Hubert  Pr.vor  Vallee)  in  Island  Pond, 
Vermont,  July  28th,  1901. 
tiece:  See,  smartie,  I  was  right!  Now 
what  we  want  to  know  is  some 
stuff  about  Henrietta  Schumann,  that 
pianist  we  hear  on  the  Roxy  program 
so  much. 

nkie:  Well  the  deftly-digited  Henrietta 
was  born  June  28th,  1909,  in  Schaulen. 
Russia.     Her  father   was  a  capable 
musician,  having  studied  under  Kel- 
lerman,   one  of   Franz   Liszt's  sons. 
She  was  educated  in  Russia  and  went 
to  college  in  Rochester,  New  York, 
earning  her  way  by  teaching  at  the 
Eastman  School  of  Music.  She  made 
her  radio  debut  on  NBC  in  1929.  You 
know  you  can  hear  her  often  on  the 
Radio  City  Music  Hall  programs  with 
Erno  Rapee  as  well  as  on  the  Roxy 
shows.     Her  debut  on  the  concert 
i  stage  was  made  at  the  age  of  nine. 
|l  After   that,    Henrietta   gave  recitals 
through  Russia,  Lithuania,  Germany, 
I  France,  Latvia.    On  this  hemisphere 
i .  she  gave  recitals  and  made  appear- 
ances with  symphony  orchestras'  in 
Canada.  Detroit,  Rochester,  Chicago, 
,  Buffalo,    St.    Louis,    Syracuse,  New 
York,  Boston  and  other  cities.  She 
has  composed  music,  but  says,  she's 
not  interested  in  having  any  of  it  pub- 
lished.   She  weighs  one  hundred  and 
, thirty-five  pounds,  is  five  feet  six,  has 
*  brown  hair  and  blue  eyes.    She's  quite 

comely  and,  as  yet,  unmarried. 
llephezi':  Now,  tell  us  about — oh  darn, 
rthere's  daddy  calling  us!  We  gotta 
iigo  to  bed.  Too  bad  you  won't  be

"What  are  they?"  I  inquired. 

"First,  can  I  play  bridge?  Second,  can  I 
cook  ?"  replied  Jane. 

"Well,  can  you?"  I  wanted  to  know. 

"When  we  were  first  on  the  air,"  said 
Jane,  smiling,  "we  played  up  the  husband- 
and  -  wife  -  as  -  bridge  -  partners  angle  for 
laughs.  The  sad  truth  of  the  matter  is 
that  my  husband  got  his  inspiration  from 
my  bridge  playing!  I'm  awful!  If  the 
hand  is  at  all  hard  to  play  I  can  be  de- 
pended upon  to  muff  it. 

"It's  the  same  with  cooking,"  she  con- 
tinued. "If  the  thing  is  hard  to  make, 
that  lets  me  out!  So,  to  be  on  the  safe 
side,  I  have  worked  out  just  a  few  fool- 
proof specialties  along  culinary  lines.  I've 
never  been  able  to  deceive  anyone  about 
my  bridge-playing  abilities,  but  guests  go 
away  convinced  that  my  cooking  almost 
makes  up  for  my  lack  of  card  sense,  when 
I  produce  one  of  my  food  pets." 

"Tell  me  more,"  I  urged. 

"Oh,"  Jane  demurred,  "they're  all  too 
easy  ti  interest  you  I" 

"On  the  contrary'  I'd  like  to  learn  about 
some  'Easy  Aces',"  I  insisted,  "especially 
things  to  serve  informally  to  guests  after 
bridge,  conversation,  or  radio. 

"Maybe  I  will  be  able  to  give  you  an 
idea  or  two  then,"  replied  Jane.  "Of  course 
I  generally  plan  to  serve  things  that  will 
appeal  to  men  as  well  as  women  since  we 
usually  entertain  a  couple.  When  Benny 
Fields  and  his  wife  Blossom  Seeley  drop 
in,  for  instance,  we  have  dinner  sent  up 
from  the  restaurant  downstairs,  but  be- 
fore they  leave  I  always  serve  something 
that  I  know  they'll  like.  That's  either 
Savory  Hamburgers  (Goodman,  who  in- 
vented the  sauce,  named  them  that)  or 
Barbecued  Ham.  You  know,  out  in  Kan- 
sas City  where  we  come  from,  we  all  used 
to  drive  out  into  the  country  for  Barbecues. 
I  really  miss  those  jaunts  a  lot.  So  I 
learned  how  to  make  a  simple  Barbecue 
Sauce  that  can  be  made  up  in  advance.  I 
serve  it  on  freshly  cooked  ham  and  it  only 
takes  a  bit  of  last  minute  preparation  to 
fix  up  a  dish  that  guests  rave  over." 

Another  Easy  Ace  in  the  cooking  line. 
I  learned,  is  Snappy  Sandwiches.  You'll 
find  that  recipe,  together  with  the  one  for 
preparing  Savory  Hamburgers,  at  the  end 
of  this  article.    Well  worth  trying,  both. 

A  really  grand  dish  that  Jane  also  told 
me  about  is  Easy  Supper  Eggs.  These  are 
perfect  for  lunch,  too,  as  well  as  for  sup- 
per. Served  in  little  individual  dishes  (the 
inexpensive  oven-proof  kind  that  come 
with  handles)  they  will  give  you  a  reputa- 
tion as  a  hostess  who  knows  her  onions. 
Pardon  me !    There  aren't  any  onions  in 


this  concoction,  just  such  simple  things  as 
eggs,  butter,  seasonings  and  ever-handy 
canned  soup.  You  just  break  eggs,  use  a 
can  opener  and  add  seasonings — in  the 
right  proportion  of  course — and  presto! 
there  you  are.  Easy,  did  I  say?  Why,  it's 
a  cinch!  If  you  are  interested  in  serving 
these  shirred  eggs  at  your  next  informal 
evening  supper  party  you'll  find  out  shortly 
how  to  get  your  copy  of  the  recipe. 

Nor  did  Jane  Ace  overlook  the  universal 
sweet  tooth  possessed  by  men  and  women 
alike,  when  describing  her  easy-to-makt 
dishes  to  me.  Admitting  at  the  very  out- 
set her  inability  to  bake  cakes  or  pies,  Jant 
tried  her  hand  at  making  cookies  and  the 
sort  of  dessert  dishes  that  nestle  in  tht 
refrigerator  until  serving  time.  Aftei 
many  attempts  and  failures  she  hit  on  tw< 
sweets  that  not  even  she  could  go  wronj 
on  making !  One  is  a  crisp  cooky  tha 
I  named  Chocolate  Aces,  after  trying  oui 
Jane's  recipe  to  my  own  entire  satisfaction 
These  crisp  chocolaty  confections  an 
baked  in  one  sheet  and  then  cut  into  fancy 
shapes  (you  really  should  use  Bridge  cut 
ters,  as  I  did,  in  honor  of  Jane).  This  i; 
much  easier,  of  course,  than  rolling  ou 
and  cutting  dough  before  it  is  baked. 

The  other  sweet  recipe  is  for  Graha 
mallow  Roll,  a  combination  of  grahan 
crackers,  marshmallows.  cream  and  othei 
things.  The  ingredients  are  quickly  assem 
bled  from  almost  any  well-stocked  larder 
they  are  easily  prepared  (take  a  look  a 
the  small  picture  on  page  50),  and  after  : 
sojourn  in  the  refrigerator  they  emerg< 
as  a  dressy  looking  dessert  that  tastes  a: 
grand  as  it  looks.  Another  "Easy  Ace' 
you'll  surely  want  ''ave. 

And  now  just  a  biief  word  to  let  th< 
uninitiated  know  how  to  go  about  securing 
these  Easy  Aces — four  delectable  but  sim 
pie  dishes,  Grahamallow  Roll,  Easy  Sup 
per  Eggs,  Chocolate  Aces  and  Barbecuei 
Ham.  Those  clever  souls  who  alread; 
know  all  the  answers  can  skip  blithely  I 
the  next  paragraph.  But  there  are  som 
of  you  who  don't  know  that  merely  b;

Cream  butter  until  very  soft.  Add  pre- 
pared mustard,  India  Relish,  Worcester- 
shire Sauce,  minced  onion  and  parsley. 
Blend  together  thoroughly.  Season  meat 
with  salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Form  into 
flat  cakes  approximately  J4  inch  thick  and 
large  enough  to  fit  the  size  roll  or  bread 
you  plan  to  use.  Grease  a  frying  pan 
lightly  (preferably  with  bacon  fat).  Add 
hamburgers.  Brown  quickly  on  both  sides, 
reduce  heat  and  cook  until  hamburgers  are 
done.  (The  time  required  varies  accord- 
ing to  personal  preferences  and  thickness 
of  hamburgers).  Place  each  hamburger 
on  a  piece  of  buttered  bread  or  half  of  a 
buttered  roll.  While  still  piping  hot  spread  I 
with  Savory  Sauce.  Top  with  second  half 
of  roll  or  piece  of  bread.  Serve  immedi- 
ately. This  amount  should  make  enough 
hamburgers  for  four.

1  teaspoon  Worcestershire  Sauce 
1  teaspoon  prepared  mustard 
8  Holland  Rusks 
4  slices  of  lean  bacon 
Large  stuffed  olives

ture until  soft.  Mash  thoroughly  with  a 
fork.  Add  slightly  beaten  egg,  Worcester-

bacon.  Place  low  under  broiler  flame  and 
cook  until  bacon  is  crisp  and  cheese  is

Your  hands  can  be  as  intriguing  as  your  favorite 
perfume.  Ragged,  unkempt  finger  nails  belie  the 
daintiness  which  your  perfume  suggests.  Brittle

(Juit  fiot  Tun 

(Continued  from  page  55) 


Dawson  looks  set  for  a  long  and  lucky 
run  as  a  radio  actor. 

Right  now,  though,  we're  scheduled  for 
a  rehearsal  of  our  own  performance.  Right 
now  we  get  an  answer  to  the  questions  a 
lot  of  people  have  been  asking:  Are  the 
amateurs  rehearsed  before  they  go  on  the 
air?  And  are  Fred  Allen's  and  Major 
Bowes'  and  Ray  Perkins'  remarks  spon- 
taneous or  read  from  scripts? 

The  honest  answer  is  a  little  bit  of 
both.  Our  master  of  ceremonies  learns  our 
background  and  then  prompts  our  conver- 
sation so  that,  when  we  face  the  mike,  we 
sound  as  if  we  are  just  making  it  up. 

Here  is  an  illustration :  Remember  the 
Easter  night  broadcast  during  which  a 
singer  blew  up  and  got  the  gong.  Turned 
(away,  he  said:  "Guess  I  laid  an  egg,  didn't 
ll.  Major?" 

"Guess  you  did,"  said  Mons.  Bowes, 
I  "but  you  chose  the  right  day  for  it." 

'Twas  Easter,  remember.  The  audience 
roared.  That's  a  sample  of  the  planned 
joke.  I  remember  another  recently.  A 
girl  tried  manfully  to  get  through  a  sim- 
ple chorus  and  couldn't  do  it.  Finally  in 
an  embarrassing  pause,  the  Major  asked  : 
"Want  to  give  up?" 

"Yes,"  weakly. 

'"All  right,  my  dear.  Go  home  and  prac- 
tice and  we'll  give  you  another  chance."  He 
rang  the  gong. 

"I  don't  want  another  chance,"  she  said. 
'I'm  just  here  on  a  bet." 

The  Major  became  sympathetic.  "I'm 
i>orry.    Xow  you've  lost  your  money." 
"But  I've  won,"  she  claimed. 
"Won?     How's  that?" 
"I  bet  I'd  get  the  gong,"  she  said. 
\  Do  they  ever  send  fake  "amateurs"  in 
I  o  get  the  gong,  is  a  question  I'm  often 
(  jisked.    Frankly,  one  of  the  biggest  pro- 
i  trams  did  do  it  for  a  while.  But  the  pro- 
fessional gong-getter  was  always  so  good 
t  getting  the  gong  that  the  public  began 
I  o  lose  interest.    Just  now,  most  of  the 
* 'ell-ringers  are  just  plain  bad. 
j  What  are  our  chances — we're  three  jolly 
'illbillies.   remember — to  get  somewhere? 
■(Veil,  look  at  some  of  the  folk  who  have 
1  pund    these    amateur    hours    nice  little 
pringboards  for  subsequent  successes. 
One  Sunday  evening,  Major  Bowes  was 
liking  to  an  amateur.    "Did  you  study 
inging?"  he  queried. 
I  j  "Yes,  before  I  took  my  present  position," 

ohn  Rogato  answered. 
|   "Where  is  your  present  position  ?" 
-    i  "On  a  garbage  truck." 

In  type,  that  line  doesn't  look  so  funny, 
'n  the  air  it  convulsed  a  good  half  of 
•merica's  listening  audience.    And  then  to 
liake   the   Horatio   Alger   story  perfect 
lung  John  Rogato,  who  had  been  picking 
.  o  anybody's  garbage  for  twelve  humdrum 
t^ars,  put  his  heart  and  soul  into  the  song 
sang,  with  so  much  success  that  pro- 
iets  are  saying  he  is  a  coming  star. 
[  The  Happy  Sisters,  Muriel,  Estclle,  and 
[live,  plus  their  brother  Joe,  were  four 
ds  up  in  Kaugatuck,  Connecticut.  The 
'rls  sing  and  Joe  plays  the  guitar.  Muriel

is  still  in  High  School,  Estelle  teaches 
school,  and  Olive  works  in  an  office.  They 
came  to  New  York  and  .  .  .  well,  they  have 
just  finished  making  a  motion  picture  short 
with  Ray  Perkins  and  Tony  Spoons,  which 
will  net  them  several  hundred  dollars. 

NBC's  famous  studio  8H  has  never 
heard  as  great  applause  as  that  which  al- 
most lifted  the  roof  the  night  of  May 
19th.  Major  Bowes'  magicianship  had  pro- 
vided his  hour  with  another  miracle. 

As  the  nine-year-old  child  walked  to 
the  grand  piano  the  huge  audience  felt  a 
little  sorry  for  her.  The  Major  had  just 
said  that  her  mother  had  taught  her  to 
play,  that  her  father  was  a  dish-washer 
out  of  work.  Audiences  have  heard  and 
seen  a  lot  of  home-made  geniuses  and  I'm 
sure  no  one  expected  anything  out  of  the 
ordinary.  Major  Bowes  was  the  only  one 
who  knew  what  was  to  come. 

Veronica  Mimosa  seated  herself,  flexed 
her  fingers,  and  dropped  them  on  to  the 
keys.  Within  twenty  seconds,  the  air  was 
electric.  The  piece  she  played  was  one  a 
finished  professional  would  proudly  include 
in  his  repertory.  Little  Veronica  played  it 
surely,  swiftly,  as  well  or  better  than  the 
finished  professional  could  have  done. 

At  the  end  the  audience  cheered  and 
clapped  and  shouted :  "Bravo,"  while 
Major  Bowes  struggled  frantically  to  quiet 
them.  Finally  he  succeeded  long  enough 
for  Veronica  to  play  an  encore.  It  was 
another  triumph.  Veronica  Mimosa  was 
acclaimed  a  child  genius. 

People  have  said  that  the  amateur  hours 
clutter  up  the  air.  that  they  feed  listeners 
Grade  B  entertainment,  that  they  should 
be  abolished.  As  long  as  they  produce 
even  one  such  performer  as  Veronica 
Mimosa,  they  should  be  kept  on  the  air 
as  development  and  proving  grounds  for 
the  stars  who  must  be  found  for  tomorrow. 

I  don't  know  of  anyone  in  radio  whose 
flair  for  the  dramatic  equals  that  of  Major 
Bowes.  For  instance,  one  clay  he  found 
one  amateur  named  Frank  Brenna,  an  ex- 
barber,  in  his  audition  line.  Frank  sang 
like  a  nightingale  and  when  he  got  on 
!  the  air  the  audience  voted  him  into  first 
!  place. 

The  next  week's  mail  brought  a  letter : 

"Since  my  husband  zvon  your  amateur 
■  hour  his  head  is  about  five  times  as  big 
as  it  -was.   It  is  almost  impossible  to  live 
-with  him.  If  we  arc  ever  to  have  any 
\pcacc  again,  I  must  prove  to  him  that  I'm 
,\just  as  good  a  singer  as  he  is.  Can  I  sing 
on  your  amateur  hour? 

(Signed)  Mrs.  Frank  Brenna." 

u  One  week  after  Frank's  triumph,  Mrs. 
, Frank  did  her  bit  in  a  soaring  soprano 
solo.  And  one  week  after  that,  the  Major 
presented  them  on  the  air  together  in  a 
famous  operatic  duet.  Their  appearance 
was  the  high-spot  of  the  evening. 

In  the  space  of  nine  programs  and  nine 
weeks,   Major   Bowes   and  his  amateurs 
rose   from  zero  to  second  place  among 
,-adio's  best-liked  shows.  No  program  has 
|*:ver  done  that  before.    Already,  requests 
\  ifor  tickets  to  see  his  broadcasts  have  so 
'..wamped  his  offices  that  he  has  a  waiting 
' ist   of  thirty-thousand.    Quite    a  game, 
'sn't  it?  With  most  of  the  people  in  it 
loing  it  "just  for  fun."

CORRECT  IODINE  STARVED  GLANDS* 


Add  5  lbs.  in  1  Week -Or  No  Cost! 

New  Mineral  Concentrate  Corrects 
Common  Cause  of  Skinniness — 
IODINE  STARVED  GLANDS 

No  longer  need  you  go  around  as  skinny  as  a  rail,  for  Kelpa- 
malt, the  new  mineral  concentrate  from  the  sea,  gets  right 
down  and  corrects  the  real  underlying  cause  of  skinniness — 
IODINE  STARVED  GLANDS.  When  these  glands  don't 
work  properly,  all  the  food  in  the  world  can't  help  you.  It  just 
isn't  turned  into  flesh.  The  result  is,  you  stay  skinny. 

The  most  important  gland — the  one  which  actually  con- 
trols body  weight — needs  a  definite  ration  of  iodine  all  the 
time — NATURAL  ASSIMILABLE  IODINE— not  to  be 
confused  with  chemical  iodides  which  often  prove  toxic — 
but  the  same  iodine  that  is  found  in  tiny  quantities  in  spinach 
and  lettuce.  Only  when  the  system  gets  an  adequate 
supply  of  iodine  can  you  regulate  metabolism — the  body's 
process  of  converting  digested  food  into  firm  flesh,  new 
strength  and  energy. 

To  get  this  vital  mineral  in  convenient,  concentrated  and 
assimilable  form,  take  Kclpamalt— now  recognised  as  the 
world's  richest  source  of  this  precious  substance.  It  contains 
1.300  times  more  iodine  than  oysters,  once  considered  the 
best  source.  6  tablets  alone  contain  more  NATl'R.'L 
IODINE  than  486  lbs.  of  spinach,  1,660  lbs.  of  beef,  or  1.387 
lbs.  of  lettuce. 

Try  Kelpamalt  for  a  single  week  and  notice  the  difference. 
See  flattering  extra  pounds  appear  in  place  of  scrawny  hol- 
lows. Notice  how  much  better  you  feel.  And  if  you  don't 
gain  at  least  5  lbs.  in  one  week  the  trial  is  free.  Kelpamalt 
costs  but  a  few  cents  a  day  to  use  and  can  be  had  at  all  good 
drug  stores.  If  your  dealer  has  not  yet  received  his  supply 
send  SI. 00  for  introductory  sue  bottle  of  65  tablets  to  the 
address  below.

ARE  YOU  SICK? 

— Physically 

—Mentally 

—Financially? 

T  F  you  are  sick,  whether  physically,  mentally 
*■  or  financially;  if  you  are  discouraged  and  if 
life  has  ceased  to  hold  attractions  for  you;  if 
you  have  tried  everything  without  obtaining 
relief,  then  I  have  the  answer  for  you.  I  can 
show  you  how  to  regain  your  health  and  self- 
respect,  and  how  to  gain  prosperity — how  to 
get  what  you  want. 

The  answer  is  simple,  definite,  scientific  law 
and  unfailing.  I  have  been  the  instrument 
through  whom  many  have  been  saved  and  re- 
stored to  happiness.  I  can  do  as  much  for  you 
with  my  six  "Lessons  in  the  Law."  This 
course  of  lessons  is  an  original  copyrighted 
system — nothing  else  just  like  it.  It  has  stood 
the  test  of  time.  Hundreds  testify  to  its 
effectiveness. 

This  is  your  chance — do  not  pass  it  up. 
Six  lessons,  complete,  five  dollars,  sent  post-

send  twenty-five  cents  for  details  and  intensely

to  form  such  a  chapter  herself.  She  may 
join  the  Marconi  club  immediately.  Then, 
if  she  wishes,  she  can  later  affiliate  with  a 
Pittsburgh  Crosby  Chapter,  provided  the 
chapter  will  accept  her  application. 

A  listener  who  wishes  to  do  this 
should  inform  the  League  by  letter.  The 
League  will  then  propose  his  or  her  name 
to  a  chapter  in  the  city  where  the  listener 
lives.  If  the  chapter  approves,  the  listener 
will  be  notified.

club. 

Miss  Jeanette  Seratto  of  Staten  Island, 
New  York,  has  just  formed  a  chapter  of 
twenty  members  to  back  Lanny  Ross. 
She,  as  president,  is  actively  assisted  by 
Miss  Rita  Piccione,  as  vice-president, 
and  Miss  June  Kehoe,  as  secretary. 

Miss  Lillian  M.  Van  Zandt  of  Troy, 
New  York,  is  president  of  a  newly 
formed  chapter  in  behalf  of  Rudy 
Vallee.  Miss  Van  Zandt  has  long  been 
a  Vallee  booster  and  she  with  her  co- 
workers will  add  much  to  the  League. 

Miss  Mary  Helen  Quelley  of  Brook- 
lyn, New  York,  as  president  of  the 
Eleanor  Holm-Arthur  Jarrett  Club 
writes  to  say:  "I  want  to  congratu- 
late you  on  your  new  fan  club  de- 
partment, and  I'm  sure  it  will  go  far 
as  fan  clubs  are  getting  very  numerous." 
Miss  Quelley  reports  that  although  her 
club  is  but  twelve  weeks  old,  it  is  al- 
ready publishing  its  own  newspaper. 
Miss  Marie  Pesce  is  secretary  of  the 
club,  with  Miss  Dorothy  M.  Hulse  as 
assistant  secretary.  Headquarters  are 
maintained  at  1748  East  52nd  Street, 
Brooklyn. 

From  Miss  Mary  Munger,  23  Har- 
vard  Street,   Pittsfield,  Massachusetts, 
:omes    this    interesting    note:  "We 
ihave  a  Lanny  Ross  Club  in  this  city, 
ind  in  a  few  days  we  are  going  to  ap- 
)ly    for    a    chapter    in    the  Listeners' 
League.  .  .  .  Our  club  is  called  'The 
First  Lanny  Ross   Club  of  Pittsfield' 
ind  though  we  have  many  members  in 
1  he  city  we  would  like  to  have  some 
rom  other  cities.    The  club  publishes  a 
>aper   called   'Chit-Chat'   each  month. 
This    club    has    Rosaline    Green  and 
^anny's   mother,   Mrs.    Douglas  Ross, 
s  honorary  members." 
Vivian  Bretz  of  Lehighton,  Pennsyl- 
ania,   sends   us   a   copy   of   "The  Gale 
'age-S,"   a    publication    devoted    to  the 
nterests  of  Gale  Page.     It  is  a  very 
ctive   club    of   which    Miss    Bretz  is 
'resident  and  which  states  its  aim  as 
To    Boost    Our    Star    To  Higher 


Heights."  Miss  Alice  Cullin  of  Shel- 
ton,  Connecticut,  is  vice-president  and 
Miss  Lauretta  Sthare  of  Lehighton, 
Pennsylvania,  is  secretary. 

From  Miss  Charlotte  Kovacs  of 
West  View,  Pennsylvania,  comes  an 
interesting  letter  telling  about  the 
Ethel  Shutta  club  of  which  she  is  the 
organizer.  The  club  paper  is  a  com- 
plete publication  giving  news  and 
notes  about  Miss  Shutta  and  her  fans. 
Honorary  members  are  listed  as 
George  Olsen,  Joe  Morrison,  Bob  Rice, 
Ben  Bernie,  Eddie  Cantor,  Joe  Penner, 
Mary  Livingston,  Jack  Benny,  Norma 
Shearer,  Mary  Small,  Jean  Muir  and 
Leah  Ray. 

Here  comes  a  message  from  none 
other  than  "Niagara  Nell."  She  is  the 
woman  at  Niagara  Falls,  New  York, 
who  listens  so  attentively  to  all  pro- 
grams and  whose  criticisms  and  sug- 
gestions are  accepted  by  the  various 
artists  as  worth  serious  consideration. 
A  letter  from  her  has  changed  many  a 
program,  and  has  even  put  inferior 
programs  on  a  higher  plane.  Some 
months  ago,  you  may  remember. 
RADIO  STARS  magazine  printed  a 
story  about  her  and  her  radio  activities. 
She  writes: 

"Congratulations  to  the  newly  formed 
Listeners'  League  of  America.  You've 
got  something  there  .  .  .  and  here's  to 
its  prosperity  as  a  means  of  keeping 
brdadcasters  on  their  toes,  giving  a 
voice  with  some  volume  to  the  radio 
listeners  .  .  .  and  to  champion  any 
worthy  cause  which  artists  deem  ad- 
visable for  their  profession  (that  is  at 
the  same  time  in  accord  with  radio's 
code  of  ethics). 

"On  those  counts,  as  you  list  them 
in  this  June  issue  of  RADIO  STARS 
this  veteran  listener  sends  in  her  appli- 
cation for  membership,  at  large,  or  will 
it  be  the  Marconi  Club?

Here  i»  something 
really  new  in  face 
powder  .  .  .  some- 
thing you  arc  sure 
to  welcome.  A 
powder  made  on  a 
very  different  kind 

of  base,  so  fine,  so  soft,  this  powder  hugs  the  skin  at 
though  actually  a  part  of  it.  Try  it.  Sec  for  yourself,  if 
ever  you  knew  a  powder  to  stay  on  so  long  .  .  .  and 
smooth  all  the  while  it  stays.  There's  ancchrr  thrill  in  u 
tool  The  fineness  that  lets  Savage  cling  so  endlessly,  also 
makes  the  skin  appear  more  truly  porclcss,  smoother,

irritated  and  inflamed  skin.  Clear,  grcasrleas  and 
stainless — dries  fast.  Stops  itching  instantly.  A  35c

Some  people  are  lucky  enough  to  live  their 
whole  lives  through  without  ever  finding 
out  that  yesterday  becomes  today.  Some 
people  wake  suddenly  from  a  golden  haze, 
to  see  a  figure  confronting  them — a  face 
from  the  past!  Something  forgotten  and 
done  with,  suddenly  come  to  life;  some- 
thing alarming,  dangerous!  A  figure  from 
Yesterday  saying:  "Ah,  you  can't  forget 
me.  You  can't  pretend  that  I  didn't  exist. 
Because  I  am  here.  I  am  something  real." 
Could  the  past  break  up  the  one  great  love 
that  had  come  to  her?

past''  in

Ray  Lee  Jackson 


A  skeptical  Chicago  reader  writes  in  to  ask  if  the 
Answer  Man  really  answers  the  questions  readers  write 
in,  or  if  he  makes  them  up.  We  put  this  up  to  the  A.  M. 
and  he  squealed  with  irritation.  Seems  as  if  he  has 
enough  trouble  finding  out  the  answers  to  what  you 
ask.  without  dashing  around  making  up  any  questions. 

So  if  there  is  anything  you  want  to  know  about  radio 
stars  and  programs,  send  your  queries  to  The  Answer 
Man.  RADIO  STARS,  149  Madison  Avenue.  New  York 
City. 


THE  SHEER  joy  of  visiting  his  relatives  in 
the  country  has  impelled  Uncle  Answer  Man 
to  stay  rather  longer  than  he  planned.  How- 
refreshing  is  their  resulting  coolness  these  hot  sum- 
mer days. 

But  the  real  happiness  comes  each  night  when  my 
sweet  little  nephew  and  niece  come  to  my  easy  chair 
and  pounding  their  grimy  little  fists  on  my  pate,  de- 
mand, "Unkie ;  how  come  you  write  all  those  dopey 
rules  about  ( 1 )  Limiting  each  asker  to  two  questions  ; 
(2)  Not  giving  out  artists'  addresses;  (3)  Not  being 
able  to  tell  how  to  get  artists'  photographs;  (4)  Xot 
being  able  to  provide  tickets  for  broadcasts,  or  (5) 
Not  answering  any  but  those  questions  asked  the 
most  number  of  times?" 

"That's  a  question-answerer's  professional  secret," 
I  tell  them.  "But  if  there  are  any  other  questions 
about  radio  stars  you  want  to  ask  me,  shoot." 

Whereupon  they  let  fly  with  their  water  pistols 
and  after  a  good  laugh  all  around,  they  begin  like 
this: 

Niece:  Me  first.     I  wanna  know  when  I  can  hear 
Shirley  Howard  and  just  what  she  looks  like. 


Unkie:  Try  tuning  in  NBC  red  network  stations 
Wednesdays  and  Fridays  at  five  o'clock  Eastern 
Standard.  But  you  may  not  find  her  there.  You 
know  how  these  summer  sustaining  programs 
change.  As  for  her  looks — they're  good.  She's 
five  feet  six  inches  tall,  weighs  one  hundred  and 
twenty-eight  pounds,  has  a  light  complexion  and 
dark  brown  hair.  She  was  born  July  22nd,  1911, 
in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.   So-ome  babe! 

Nephew:  G'wan.  You  wouldn't  stand  a  chance  with 
her.  Anyhow  long's  you're  on  the  lookers,  tell  us 
about  Harriet  Hilliard. 

Unkie:  Well,  this  particular  dream  girl  of  radio  is 
five  feet  four  and  three-quarters  inches  tall,  weighs 
one  hundred  and  fourteen  pounds,  has  a  very  real, 
very  blonde  head  of  hair.  Light  complexion,  of 
course.  Her  real  name  is  Peggy  Lou  Snyder.  Her 
father  was  a  stage  director,  her  mother  an  actress ; 
she  became  a  ballet  dancer  and  wound  up  as  a 
radio  singer.  Ozzie  Nelson  is  said  to  be  responsi- 
ble for  that,  he  having  discovered  her  in  New 
York's  Hollywood  restaurant  where  she  was  a  sort 
of  mistress  of  ceremonies.  She  hasn't  had  a  vaca- 
tion in  five  years. 

Niece:  Well,  you  have,  loafer.  So  get  busy  and  re- 
cite the  cast  of  the  "Judy  and  Jane"  sketches. 

Unkie:  Sweet  child!  Judy  is  Margaret  Evans;  Jane, 
Joan  Kay ;  other  members  who  play  various  parts 
are  Fred  Von  Amnion,  Carl  Hubbell,  Charlie  Cal- 
vert, Mary  McCormack  and  Charles  Dasch.  Carl 
Buss  is  the  author. 

Nephew:  All  right,  smartie.  See  what  you  can  tell 
us  about  Honeyboy  and  Sassafras. 

Unkie:  Okay,  brat.  Honeyboy 's  real  name  is  George 
Fields.  He  was  born  in  Grove  Springs,  Missouri, 
March  27th,  1893.  What  does  he  look  like?  Well, 
he's  five  feet  ten  and  one-half  inches  tall,  has  ruddy 
complexion  and  gray  eyes.  He  went  to  public 
schools  in  Joplin,  Mis-     (Continued  on  page  76)

ent types  of  Kotex  .  .  .  the  Regular, 
the  Junior  (slightly  narrower),  and 
Super  which  offers  extra  protection.

of  romance,  action,  souUadventure  of  the  screen!  A  picture  has  come 
to  top  them  all!  For  many  months  Hollywood  has  marvelled  at  the  stu« 
pendous  production  activities  at  the  M=C=M  studios,  not  equalled  since 
"Ben  Hur";  for  many  months  three  great  film  stars  and  a  brilliant 
cast  have  enacted  the  elemental  drama  of  this  primitive  love  story.  Deeply 
etched  in  your  memory  will  be  Clark  Cable  as  the  handsome  scafar- 
ing  man;  Jean  Harlow  as  the  frank  beauty  of  Oriental  ports;  Wallace 
Beery  as  the  bluff  trader  who  also  seeks  her  affections.  "China  Seas''  is 
the  first  attraction  with  which  M=C=M  starts  its  new  Fall  entertain- 
ment  season. ^Jv/e  predict  its  fame  will  ring  lustily  down  the  years  to  come !

THOUSANDS  OF  APPLICATIONS 


LANNY  ROSS  FANS 
OUT  IN  THE  LEAD 


The  supporters  of  Lanny 
Ross,  popular  young  tenor,  are 
far  in  the  lead  in  the  number 
of  chapters  and  memberships  in 
The  Listeners'  League  of 
America.  Close  behind  him  in 
numbers  are  Rudy  Yallee,  Dick 
Powell,  Frank  Parker  and 
Nelson  Eddy.  Of  the  girl 
singers,  Vera  Van,  Annette 
Hanshaw,  Jessica  Dragonette 
and  Ethel  Shutta  are  leading. 

This  first  report  on  member- 
ship standing  is  based  only 
upon  early  entries  into  the 
League.  Each  day's  mail 
brings  many  applications  which 
may  alter  the  standing. 

The  League  urges  all  fans  to 
get  behind  their  favorite  artist 
and  try  to  make  him  or  her 
first  in  the  number  of  League 
members. 


LETTERS  FROM 

THE  MEMBERS 


Lionel  J.  Carlton,  Box  1211, 
Miami  Beach,  Florida,  writes: 
"I  think  it  is  a  fine  thing  to 
bring  the  broadcast  listeners 
together  into  one  body,  so  that 
they  may  all  unite  and  give  a 
voice  to  the  quality  of  pro- 
grams being  broadcast  as  well 
as  to  other  matters  of  interest 
to  the  broadcast  listener.  I  am 
an  active  member  of  the  Inter- 
national Short  Wave  Club  of

LISTENERS  MAY 
SUPPORT  MORE 
THAN  ONE  STAR 


A  radio  listener  may  have 
many  favorite  radio  stars,  and 
the  League  encourages  the 
listener  to  support  all  of  his 
favorites.  A  person  may  join 
as  many  chapters  or  clubs  as 
he  wishes.  The  only  require- 
ment made  is  that  the  listener 
shall  make  a  separate  applica- 
tion for  each  club  he  wishes  to 
join.  Applications  are  made 
on  the  blanks  printed  each 
month  in  the  Gazette. 


'MIKE  AND  MOVIE 
CLUB"  SUPPORTS 
MISS  VERA  VAN 


An  informative  paper  re- 
ceived at  headquarters  is  "The 
Mike  and  Movie  Club,"  a  paper 
published  in  the  interests  of 
Vera  Van. 

A  glance  at  the  table  of  con- 
tents will  give  an  idea  of  the 
work  and  interest  put  into  the 
publication.  The  paper  opens 
with  a  message  to  Miss  Van 
written  by  Helen  Ruth  Keller.

FOR  MEMBERSHIP  BEING 
RECEIVED  BY  LISTENERS' 
LEAGUE  OF  AMERICA 


Headquarters  is  Swamped  with 
Mail  as  Radio  Listeners  fro  i 
Coast  to  Coast  Join  the  Nation- 
wide Movement  to  Support 
Radio  Artists  and  Foster  Better 
Broadcast  Programs 


The  Lis- 
t  e  n  e  r  s 
League  of 
America    i  s 
a  success ! 

From 
Hawaii  to 
the  Atlantic 
Frank  Parker  ocean  and 
from  Canada 
to  the  Panama  Canal  the  ap- 
plications for  membership  and 
charters  are  coming  —  coming 
by  the  thousands  in  each  week's 
mail ;  an  avalanche  of  letters 
so  heavy  that  extra  girls  have 
been  employed  to  handle  them. 

It  is  a  definite  proof  of  the 
interest  of  the  radio  public  in 
the  principles  of  the  League : 

1.  To  give  a  voice  to  the 
vast  body  of  listeners  for  the 
betterment  of  broadcasting. 

2.  To  champion  the  cause  of 
the  artists  around  whose  talents 
the  business  of  broadcasting  is 
built. 

3.  To  protect  listeners  from 
the  abuses  of  poor  or  objec- 
tionable programs. 

"We  are  not  only  encouraged 
with  the  reception  of  the 
League  and  its  solid  principles, 
but  we  are  inspired  to  make  it 
even  greater  than  we  had  an- 
ticipated would  be  possible," 
stated  a  League  official  recently. 
"Thousands  of  loyal  radio  lis- 
teners are  finding  in  the  League 
a  voice  which  has  heretofore 
been  denied  them.  We  want 
to  give  those  listeners  a  voice 
— a  voice  of  such  strength  that 
it  will  be  a  deciding  factor  in 
building  and  improving  the 
entire  broadcasting  business. 

"We  want  every  loyal  listen- 
er to  American  broadcasting  to 
join  the  League.  For  tbeir 
benefit  we  have  made  the  rules 
for  joining  as  simple  as  possible, 
as  we  want  this  organization 


to  be  one  of  helpfulness — not 
one  of  red  tape,"  he  continued. 

There  are  two  forms  of  mem- 
bership. One  is  the  chapter 
membership  where  a  group  of 
ten  or  more  persons  join  to- 
gether, forming  a  chapter. 
Rules  for  forming  such  chap- 
ters are : 

1.  Organize  ten  or  more  per- 
sons into  a  fan  club  in  support 
of  your  favorite  radio  artist. 

2.  Elect  officers.  A  presi- 
dent and  secretary  are  all  that 
are  necessary. 

3.  Have  each  one  of  the 
group  fill  out  an  individual 
membership  application  blank 
which  will  be  found  on  page  8. 

4.  Have  the  president  of  the 
group  fill  in  the  application  for 
a  charter,  also  on  page  8.

LEAGUE  IS  "THE 
TOPS"  SAYS  VERA 
VAN,  CBS  SINGER 

Vera  Van 
fans  will  be 
interested  in 
a  letter  re- 
ceived from 
the  pretty 
CBS  singer. 
Vera  writes: 
"It  is  in- 
deed a  great 
privilege  and  pleasure  to  lend 
support  to  such  a  grand  or- 
ganization as  yours.  Person- 
ally, I  think  it  'The  Tops.' 
What  a  far  reaching  influence 
for  both  the  artist  and  listener! 
I  am  very  proud  that  one  of  my 
loyal  presidents  and  fan  club 
heads  has  joined  our  organiza- 
tion up  with  The  League.  I 
shall  get  in  touch  with  the 
heads  of  the  other  two  clubs 
sponsoring  me  and  advise  them 
to  do  likewise. 

"Please  call  on  me  for  any 
assistance  at  any  time. 

"Wishing  for  The  League  a 
success  beyond  your  highest 
hopes,  I  am, 

"Cordially  yours, 

"V era  Van."

LETTERS  FROM 

THE  MEMBERS 


(Continued  from  page  6,  col.  I) 
East  Liverpool,  Ohio." 

Miss  Barbara  Anderson  of 
3606  Pioneer  Avenue,  New 
Westminster,  British  Colum- 
bia, says:  "Just  bought  Radio 
Stars  Magazine  for  the  first 
time  and  thought  it  an  excel- 
lent number.  I  wish  to  know 
if  it  would  be  possible  for  a 
Canadian  listener  to  join  the 
Listeners'  League  of  America." 
(liditor's  note:  Yes,  Canadian 
members  are  zvclcomed.) 

Mrs.  W.  L.  Callahan.  50 
Morris  Avenue,  Girard,  Ohio, 
writes  :  "I  am  interested  in  the 
Listeners'  League  of  America. 
Will  you  please  let  me  know 
what  it  will  cost  to  become  a 
member."  (Editor's  note: 
There  is  absolutely  no  cost.) 

Miss  G.  Farsht,  1731  West 
3rd  Street,  Brooklyn,  New 
York,  says :  "May  1  say  that 
I  am  one  of  your  most  ardent 
readers.  In  fact  I  pride  my- 
self in  reading  your  magazine 
since  the  first  issue.  I  am  writ- 
ing to  you  because  I  feel  that 
the  fan  club  you  have  started 
is  a  very  fine  thing,  but  I  am 
also  in  trouble.  I  wonder  if 
you  couldn't  help  me.  I  am  a 
most  ardent  fan  to  Radio. 
Yes,  to  'Radio,'  and  to  no  one 
in  particular.  May  I  say  that 
everyone  who  goes  on  the  air 
is  a  favorite  of  mine.  Of 
course  there  are  favorites  to 
whom  I  listen,  but  I  could  not 
name  any  one  in  particular.  If 
I  could  be  active  in  any  way  I 
would  be  very  happy  to  hear 
from  you."  (Editor's  note: 
Many  listeners  have  the  same 
trouble.  We  suggest  that  yon 
join  one  club  in  order  to  be  an 
active  League  member.  You 
may  do  that  and  yet  give  full 
support  to  every  artist.  The 
one  membership  will  merely 
make  you  a  member;  it  will 
not  limit  your  work.)

THOUSANDS  OF 

APPLICATIONS 


(Continued  from  page  6,  col.  4) 
5.  Mail  the  individual  appli- 
cations and  the  charter  appli- 
cation in  one  envelope  to  The 
Listeners'  League  of  America, 
149  Madison  Ave.,  New  York. 

The  other  form  of  member- 
ship is  in  the  Marconi  Chap- 
ters, chapters  formed  for  each 
radio  artist  to  be  composed  of 
scattered  individuals  who  are 
unable  to  form  chapters. 
The  rules  are : 

1.  Fill  out  the  individual  ap- 
plication for  membership  on 
this  page. 

2.  Mail  it  to  The  Listeners' 
League  of  America,  149  Madi- 
son Avenue,  New  York  City. 

Because  of  the  heavy  mail 
being  received,  League  officials 
ask  that  listeners  be  patient  it 
they  do  not  receive  their  mem- 
bership cards  or  charters  by 
return  mail.  It  takes  several 
days  to  act  upon  the  applica- 
tions and  a  bit  longer  to  have 
the  charters  properly  signed  by 
the  radio  artists. 

The  League  wants  to  be  of 
service  to  its  members.  If  it 
can  help  in  sending  chapters 
information  about  artists,  chap- 
ters are  invited  to  request  such 
information.  Whenever  artists 
visit  cities  where  chapters  are 
located,  the  League  will  try  to 
notify  those  chapters  in  ad- 
vance. Members  are  invited  to 
write  to  the  artists,  sending 
their  letters  to  League  head- 
quarters from  where  the  let- 
ters will  be  forwarded. 

"We  want  comments  from 
our  members,"  says  the  di- 
rector. "If  there  are  objec- 
tionable programs  on  the  air, 
we  want  our  members  to  tell 
us  about  them.  If  members 
think  other  programs  can  be 
improved,  we  want  to  know 
about  it.  We  hope  every  mem- 
ber will  feel  free  to  write  us 
often,  giving  us  his  or  her 
opinions  about  radio  shows. 

For  the  advantage  of  fan 
clubs  already  organized,  all 
that  is  necessary  to  do  in 
order     to    affiliate    with  the 


League  is  for  each  individual 
of  the  club  to  fill  in  his  indi- 
vidual application  blank  and 
the  president  the  charter  appli- 
cation and  mail  it  in.  Affilia- 
tion with  the  League  will  not 
interfere  in  any  way  with  the 
regular  activities  and  policies  of 
such  already  organized  clubs 
There  are  no  dues — no  fees 
of  any  kind.  A  person  may 
belong  to  as  many  clubs  or 
chapters  as  he  wishes.  He  may 
support  any  number  of  radio 
artists.  All  that  is  necessary 
to  remember  is  that  each  artist 
you  support  requires  a  separate 
application  blank.

shorthand  could  help  you  in  many  ways — small  ami  targe?  Here  Is  an  entirely

of  the  English  Language.  No  puzzling  signs  or  symbols  to  memorize.  You

months  of  tedious  drills  and  practice.  With  the  ABC  method  you  do  not 
require  any  instructors  or  school  attendance.  In  12  simple  lessons  you  can  learn

down  notes  and  ideas.  The  demand  for  this  book  has  been  so  great  that  we  have

12  lessons,  complete,  bound  in  cloth,  to  only  $1.00.

VACATIONS  are  made  for 
fun.  Every  moment  is  pre- 
cious. But  often  a  change  of  water 
or  diet  will  throw  your  system 
"off  schedule". ..  and  you  need  a 
laxative. 

Ex-Lax  is  the  ideal  summer 
laxative  for  the  following  reasons 
given  by  a  well-known  New  York 
physician: 

1.  In  summer  you  should  avoid 
additional  strain  on  the  vital 
organs  of  the  body,  even  the  strain 
due  to  the  action  of  harsh  cathar- 
tics. Ex-Lax  is  thorough  but  gen- 
tle. No  pain,  strain,  or  griping. 

2.  In  summer  there  is  a  greater 


loss  of  body  fluids  due  to  normal 
perspiration.  Avoid  the  type  of 
laxatives  that  have  a  "watery" 
action.  Don't  "dehydrate"  your 
body.  Take  Ex-Lax. 

And  Ex-Lax  is  such  a  pleasure 
to  take  — it  tastes  just  like  deli- 
cious chocolate. 

So  be  sure  to  take  along  a  plenti- 
ful  supply  of  Ex-Lax.  Ex-Lax 
comes  in  10c  and  25c  boxes  at  any 
drug  store.

amateurs  beware 


NEW  YORK  is  the  radio  capital  of  America  even  though 
there  are  opportunities  in  Chicago,  San  Francisco,  Cin- 
cinnati and  Los  Angeles.  Ambitious  young  people  arrive 
in  New  York  by  the  thousands,  all  eager  for  a  chance 
at  ether  fame.  Since  the  national  epidemic  of  amateur 
hours,  there  has  been  a  greater  influx  of  inexperienced, 
untrained  young  radio  performers  than  ever  before.  And 
the  radio  wolves  have  become  more  bold. 

This  article  is  to  serve  as  a  warning  to  these  youngsters 
who  come  seeking  a  radio  chance  in  New  York. 

Just  as  there  are  human  vultures  in  the  theater,  in  the 
pictures — and  even  in  respectable  business  firms  or  depart- 
ment stores — so  are  there  ruthless  Don  Juans  in  the  radio 
studios.  There  is,  for  example,  a  certain  nationally 
famous  announcer  who  has  had  more  than  one  narrow 
escape  from  the  law  and  from  irate  fathers.  There  is, 
again,  a  certain  casting  director  who  asks  young  and 
pretty  actresses  who  don't  know  their  way  around  to  call 
at  his  apartment  for  an  interview — instead  of  going  to 
the  studio  for  an  audition. 

The  professional  beasts  of  prey  in  radio  are  mainly  in- 
tested  in  the  money  they  can  take  away  from  the  eager 
youngsters.  And  their  tricks  for  getting  that  money  are 
many. 

There  is  the  "radio  manager."  He  manages  to  spot 
some  hopeful  out-of-towner  and  scrapes  up  an  acquaint- 
ance. He,  according  to  his  story,  is  a  successful  manager 
of  radio  talent.  He  can  get  auditions  for  anyone  he 
represents  and  he  can  place  his  cilents  on  good  commer- 
cial programs  immediately.  To  hear  him  talk,  he  is  the 
bosom  pal  of  every  casting  director  in  radio.  The  catch 
is  that  he  needs  money  for  "expenses."  He  shrewdly  esti- 
mates the  resources  of  the  "client"  and  then  requests  a  re- 
tainer. Perhaps  he  will  consent  to  act  as  manager  for  a 
mere  twenty-five  dollars  a  week.  I  know  of  actual  cases 
where  these  bogus  managers  have  collected  as  much  as 
seventy-five  and  one  hundred  dollars  a  week  for  weeks 
at  a  time  from  ambitious  would-be  radio  entertainers  who 
had  more  dollars  than  sense. 

Here  is  the  truth  about  radio  managers.  There  are  a 
few  good  ones,  men  and  women  who  are  honest  and  who 
can  really  help.  However,  these  competent  and  respected 
agents  are  not  interested  in  taking  unproved  talent  and 
developing  it.  It  is  true  that  a  few  of  them  might,  for  a 
reasonable  consideration,  attempt  to  develop  and  manage 
a  budding  personality.  However,  they  would  expect  the 
young  artist  to  assume  all  the  risks  and  they  would  not 
make  any  promises  about  jobs  or  future  fame. 

The  fake  radio  school  is  another  device  of  the  profes- 
sional wolves.  New  York,  Chicago  and  Hollywood  are 
full  of  such  schools.  In  advertisements  these  schools 
stress  "microphone  technique"  and  all  of  them  promise  to 
secure  auditions  for  their  pupils.  The  best  the  enrolled 
student  at  one  of  these  microphone  schools  can  hope  for 
is  some  harmless  patter  about  how  far  to  stand  from  a 
mike  when  broadcasting  and  an  audition  at  some  unim- 
portant station  where  anyone  can  get  an  audition  at  any 
time.  The  big  stations  and  the  networks  have  absolutely 
no  interest  or  connections  with  any  of  these  so-callec 
schools  of  radio.  They  are  a  waste  of  money  and  I  know 
of  no  radio  entertainer  who  ever  benefited  from  such  a 
school. 
14 


There  are  exceptions,  of  course — classes  where  a  young 
artist  can  get  good  training  in  the  use  of  the  voice,  in 
singing  and  in  dramatic  reading.  One  way  to  tell  whether 
a  radio  school  is  legitimate  is  to  find  out  if  any  promises 
are  made.  The  fewer  the  promises,  the  greater  the 
chance  that  the  school  is  operated  ethically  and  honestly. 

Then  there  are  certain  operators  in  Manhattan  who 
manage  to  make  a  living  out  of  the  ambitions  of  the 
singers  and  entertainers  who  have  had  a  little  radio  experi- 
ence, but  want  to  crash  the  networks.  These  wolves  have 
managed  to  obtain  periods  on  the  air  and  present  radio 
programs.  Sometimes  they  manage  to  sell  these  programs 
to  third-rate  advertisers.  Their  next  problem  is  to  obtain 
talent  for  their  programs  without  paying  for  it.  They 
insert  advertisements  in  some  of  the  less  reputable  pub- 
lications seeking  radio  talent — then,  after  they  audition  the 
dozens  of  young  artists  who  answer  the  advertisement, 
they  take  the  cream  of  the  talent  and  persuade  these 
youngsters  to  work  for  nothing. 

"If  you  are  on  the  air  in  my  program,  you'll  be  heard 
by  the  big  advertisers,"  is  a  favorite  argument. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  some  of  the  successful  performers 
have  been  heard  in  these  free-talent  air  programs  years 
ago.  They  succeeded,  but  not  because  of  being  heard 
in  the  Blah  Blah  Revue  on  Station  WBLAH.  If  you're 
good  enough  to  go  on  the  air  in  a  commercial  program, 
you're  good  enough  to  be  paid  for  it.  If  there  isn't 
any  pay,  it's  a  good  sign  that  a  racketeer  figures  in  the 
proceedings  somewhere.  This  statement,  of  course,  is  not 
meant  to  apply  to  the  legitimate  amateur  hours. 

Beware  of  the  smooth  press  agent  who  tries  to  convince 
you  that  all  that  is  necessary  to  get  you  on  the  air  is 
to  get  your  name  in  the  papers.    Some  of  these  press 
agents  can  get  your  name  in  the  papers.    They  can  get 
your  name  in  certain  papers  because  of  certain  money 
arrangements  with  certain  newspaper  writers.    It  is  com- 
mon gossip  in  Manhattan  that  one  con- 
ductor of  a  newspaper  column  offered  to 
mention  any  name  in  his  column  at  so 
much  a  mention.    The  price,  I  believe, 
was  one  dollar  per  mention.    By  cram- 
ming forty  or  fifty  names  into  a  column, 
he  did  pretty  well  until  his  boss  found 
out  what  was  going  on. 

But  back  to  the  more  dangerous  wolves. 
There  is  the  wolf  who  apparently  has  the

job  of  selecting  talent  for  a  weekly  variety  program, 
but  whose  real  job  is  to  find  young  and  pretty  women 
who  will  attend  the  wild  parties  given  by  his  boss.  He 
does  put  his  "finds"  on  the  air  on  one  of  the  smaller 
stations  and  some  of  them  are  paid  small  fees.  Bui 
these  broadcasts,  more  often  than  not,  are  followed  b> 
wild  studio  parties  and  it's  just  too  bad  for  the  young 
and  pretty  singer  who  isn't  able  to  cope  with  a  difficuli 
and  dangerous  situation. 

Then  there  is  the  shady  advertising  man  who  uses  an 
imaginary  radio  program  as  a  lure  to  attract  pretty  play- 
mates. He  calls  in  some  gullible  station  representam  < 
and  talks  about  a  client  who  wants  a  radio  program 
Auditions  are  arranged.  The  playboy  manages  so  to 
arrange  things  that  there  are  a  number  of  attractive  girls 
called  for  the  auditions.  He  also  manages  to  meet  them 
and  it  is  part  of  his  technique  to  try  to  make  the  girls 
believe  that  an  important  job  depends  on  his  friendship 
and  that  it  is  up  to  them  to  be  friendly. 

Among  the  reputable  advertising  agencies  the  standard 
of  ethics  is  high  and  every  effort  is  made  to  be  fair 
and  honest  to  every  applicant  for  an  audition  and  to 
stamp  out  any  improper  methods  on  the  part  of  any 
individuals  connected  with  the  agency.  The  agencv 
wolves  are  comparatively  few. 

Newcomers  to  radio  face  another  financial  hazard 
however;  one  that  becomes  serious  if  they  achieve  am 
success  at  all.  There  are  a  number  of  casting  agencies 
operating  on  Broadway  where  the  applicant  for  a  job 
is  asked  to  sign  a  little  slip.  The  slip  is  actually  an 
agreement  whereby  the  performer  agrees  to  pay  tci 
per  cent,  of  all  incomes  received  for  a  period  of  years 
These  casting  agencies  keep  a  close  watch  on  all  SUC 
cessful  newcomers  and  check  their  files  frequentl) 
Often  enough  they  find  a  slip  signed  carelessly  a  year  o 
so  before — and  the  suddenly  successful  singer  is  face<' 
with  a  demand  for  ten  per  cent,  in  commissions.  On« 
euccessful  young  singer,  who  had  registered  at  even 
casting  agencv  in  town,  was  faced  with  claims  for  com 
fissions  totalling  more  than  forty  per  cent,  of  her  in 
come.    It  took  a  good  lawyer  to  clear  that  up.

ONE  day  Ethel  Merman  was  a  stenographer. 
The  next  she  was  a  hlues  singer,  under  con- 
tract at  two  hundred  dollars  a  week.  Proving 
once  again  that  anything  can  happen.  Proving 
once  again  that  there's  no  telling  what's  just 
around  the  corner.  It  may  be  love.  It  may  be  wealth. 
It  may  be  fame.    All  we  need  to  do  is  keep  going. 

Ethel  Merman  keeps  going.  Graduating  from  High 
School,  where  she  had  prepared  herself  for  the  practical 
business  of  earning  a  living  with  a  commercial  course, 
she  found  a  job  in  a  large  office.  She  took  letters  from 
anyone  who  rang  for  a  stenographer.  She  filed.  She 
typed  orders.  Every  morning  she  left  a  modest,  brown- 
shingled  two-family  house  in  Astoria  to  wedge  her  way 
into  a  crowded  subway  train  bound  for  the  city.  With 
a  quiver  of  nervousness  when  there  were  delays  and 
she  thought  she  might  be  late. 

Every  week  she  saved  some  part  of  her  salary — to  buy 
trim  little  suits  and  crisp  blouses  in  the  spring,  and  in 
the  autumn  dark  dresses,  and,  one  affluent  year,  a  fur  coat. 

At  noon  Ethel  and  the  girl  who  was  secretary  to 
Caleb  Bragg,  a  millionaire  sportsman  and  president  of 
the  firm,  would  order  black  and  white  sodas  and  toasted 
cheese  dreams  at  a  drug-store  lunch  counter  and  quite 
simply  settle  those  problems  of  life  and  love  which  always 
have  bewildered  the  philosophers.  Sometimes,  too,  they 
patronized  a  gypsy  tea-room,  where  their  fortunes  were 
read  in  the  tea  leaves. 

"Is  he  dark  or  fair?"  Ethel  asked  when  her  fortune 


was  being  read  one  day.  The  gypsy  peered  more  in- 
tently into  the  cup.  "Men  come  and  men  go;  you  are 
popular,"  she  said.  Not  that  it  would  have  taken  any 
seeress  to  know  that,  considering  Ethel's  dark  hair  and 
eyes,  and  the  happiness  of  her  laughter.  "Yes,  men  come 
and  go.  But  before  a  man  stays  you  have  much  to  do. 
You  must  become  famous,  so  that  everybody  knows  your 
name." 

Ethel  was  a  little  disappointed.  She  had  a  crush  at 
that  moment.  And  as  for  fame,  well,  it  seemed  remote, 
unlikely.  Besides,  hurrying  to  the  office  in  the  morn- 
ing and  returning  home  to  her  mother  and  father  and 
her  grandmother  and  aunt  and  uncle  and  cousins  who 
lived  on  the  first  floor  of  that  brown  two-family  house 
she  found  enough.  Especially  with  that  tall,  lean,  blond 
young  man  calling  on  Wednesdays  and  Saturdays  and 
telephoning  in  between  times. 

"I  really  was  very  happy,"  Ethel  Merman  told  me, 
talking  of  those  days.  "I  lived  in  a  modest  neighbor- 
hood and  had  everything  which  my  pattern  of  life  re- 
quired. A  comfortable  home.  Pretty  clothes.  Beaus. 
An  adequate  job.  A  devoted  family.  And  occasionally, 
to  make  life  more  complete,  I  used  to  sing  on  an  ama- 
teur night  or  even  have  an  engagement  to  sing  at  a 
private  party. 

"I  had  given  up  seeing  myself  in  a  cream-colored 
Packard  driven  by  a  Jap  chauffeur — which  had  been  my 
constant  dream  when  I  was  a  freshman  in  high  school. 
You  see,"  she  explained,  "we  lived  just  a  short  distance

told 


from  the  Paramount  Long  Island  studios.  With  other 
kids  from  the  neighborhood  I  used  to  spend  my  entire 
afternoons  and  practically  all  Saturday  outside  the  en- 
trance on  the  chance  of  seeing  some  star  go  in  or  come 
out.  Or  peeking  through  the  holes  in  the  fence  which  sur- 
rounded the  big  lot  on  which  outdoor  scenes  were  filmed. 

"Alice  Brady  worked  in  those  studios  then.  She  bad 
such  a  car  and  chauffeur.  It  epitomized  the  greatest  ele- 
gance I  could  conceive,  so,  of  course.  I  pictured  myself 
in  possession  of  it.  Often  I  didn't  bear  the  teacher  the 
first  time  she  called  on  me  for  a  recitation.  I  was  so 
busy  in  my  own  mind  stepping  into  the  suede-upholstered 
interior  of  such  a  car,  a  discreet  Jap  at  my  silken  elbow." 

We  were  in  Ethel's  apartment.  Beyond  the  windows 
was  the  far-flung  green  of  Central  Park.  Her  wire- 
haired  pup,  returning  from  his  walk  with  a  trimly  uni- 
formed maid,  made  a  typical  terrier  dash  across  the  room 
to  jump  into  her  lap  and  cover  her  hand  with  devoted 
kisses.  Not  many  blocks  away  was  the  Alvin  Theater, 
where  all  winter  "Anything  Goes"  has  been  playing  to 
capacity  audiences  because  her  name  hangs  over  the 
marquee.  Her  telephone  rings  incessantly.  Managers 
and  agents  want  to  talk  to  her  about  renewing  the  radio 
contract  for  the  Sunday  evening  Pebeco  program.  To 
consult  with  her  about  the  movie  she  will  be  making  with 
Eddie  Cantor  at  the  time  you  read  this.  And  to  discuss 
the  latest  plans  being  made  for  the  musical  comedy  in 
which  she  will  star  with  Eddie  Cantor  on  the  Broadway 


What  was  it,  then,  that  had  uprooted  her  from  Astoria 
to  bring  her  to  this  new  pattern  of  living?  That  had 
driven  her  from  obscurity  to  such  a  bright  fame?  That 
had  set  her  to  dreaming  again  and  to  working  as  hard 
as  anyone  must  work  to  turn  every  dream  into  a  reality? 

I  soon  discovered. 

The  girl  who  was  Ethel's  luncheon  companion  and 
secretary  to  Caleb  Bragg  resigned  to  get  married.  She 
was  told  to  advertise  for  someone  to  take  her  place. 
Ethel,  on  the  spur  of  the  moment,  thought  she'd  ask 
for  consideration. 

"Give  me  a  chance,"  she  >aid  to  Caleb  Mrai;g.  approach- 
ing him  in  bis  big  office.  "I'm  sure  I  can  please  you. 
And  if  I  don't — well,  no  barm's  done.  I  can  go  back 
outside  and  you  still  can  advertise  for  a  new  girl." 

He  probably  admired  her  spunk.  In  any  event,  he 
gave  her  a  chance.  And  she  pleased  him.  So  that  it 
thereafter  was  Ethel — Ethel  Zimmerman  in  those  days — 
who  took  dictation  and  picked  up  bis  French  telephone 
to  announce:  "Mr.  Bragg's  secretary.  W  ho  is  calling, 
please?"  Her  throaty  tones  became  familiar  to  the  select 
few  of  Broadway — to  many  other  young  sportsmen  and 
some  l>eautiful  showgirls  and  several  famous  stars. — long 
before  they  were  known  to  Broadway  itself. 

The  letters  Ethel  took  down  in  her  red-ruled  note- 
book were  in  themselves  enough  to  stimulate  the  imagi- 
nation of  a  young  girl  and  make  her  ambitious  for  the 
modern  Arabian  nights  existence  in  which  they  plavcd

in  the  beautiful  new  Sunny  Ridge  develop-        J/Q  /  I 
ment,  is  one  of  the  most  delightful  estates      tiL/  / 
in  all  Westchester  County.    It  is  the  Bernie  ^ 
Milk  and  Health  Farm,  and  it  is  run  by  Rose 
Bernie.  the  sister  of  the  Old  Maestro  him- 
self.   Sophie  Tucker,  Gracie  Barrie,  Gertrude  Berg  and 
Mary  Brown  Warburton  are  but  a  few  of  the  radio  per- 
sonalities you  may  find  there,  drinking  in  milk  and  sun- 
shine and  peace.    After  a  visit  to  the  farm,  I  was  more 
than  ever  convinced  that  they  ought  to  sponsor  a  weekly 
beauty-advice  broadcast,  and  call  their  station  KYAB 
(Keep  Young  And  Beautiful). 

The  Bernie  estate  is  set  'way  back  from  the  road,  and 
a  private  driveway  leads  one  to  a  lovely  long  rambling 
house,  with  rolling  lawns,  lofty  shade  trees,  and  flowering 
shrubbery  completing  the  picture  of  lazy  contentment. 
The  hospitable  veranda  and  the  terrace  were  dotted  with 
gay  lounging  chairs  when  I  was  there,  and  the  occupants 


were  dressed  in  bathing  suits,  lounging  pa- 
jamas, or  just  plain  comfortable  old  clothes. 
They  were  having  a  grand  time  indulging  in 
sheer  unadulterated  laziness,  and  loving  it. 
T    r\  You  don't  have  to  raise  a  finger  toward  doing 

V  I]  anything  on  the  Bernie  farm,  not  even  so 

•^JjL^^  much  as  pouring  yourself  a  glass  of  milk. 
jf^fifT      It's  poured  for  you. 

]^~"^^|        It  was  Saturday  afternoon  when  I  was 
'Ljj       j     there  and  I  found  Gracie  Barrie  lolling  in  a 
^"""^v^     very  comfortable  porch  chair.    Perhaps  you 
didn't-  know  that  this  amazing  nineteen-year- 
old  "sweetheart  of  the  blues"  was  a  protegee 
of  Ben  Bernie  at  one  time,  and  received  his  Blue  Ribbon 
of  Honor  for  her  work.    Gracie  is  fortunate  in  having 
the  kind  of  a  figure  that  doesn't  need  reducing  or  build- 
ing up,  but  she  loves  the  relaxation  she  gets  from  a 
week-end  at  Rose  Bernie's,  away  from  the  hustle  and 
bustle  and  confusion  of  Manhattan.    The  farm  is  only 
forty-five  minutes  away  from  the  Grand  Central  station 
in  Manhattan,  so  it  is  easy  for  Gracie  to  commute  there 
for  occasional  week-ends. 

The  Bernie  Milk  Farm  isn't  to  be  confused  with  a  nurs- 
ing home  or  sanitarium.  It's  a  place  where  anyone  who 
desires  keeping  in  condition  may  spend  a  week  or  so  and 
build  up,  reduce,  or  just  "un-lax."  (Continued  on  page  61)

ior  distinguished 
service  to  radio 


No  woman,  we  were  told,  could  ever  make  America  sit  still  and  listen. 

Well,  one  woman  is  doing  it.  She  began  at  nine-thirty  o'clock  on  Sunday  evening,  June 
2nd,  1935.  She  was  introduced  to  America  as  Cornelia  Otis  Skinner,  pinch-hitting  for  a 
vacationing  columnist. 

That  name  which  meant  much  along  America's  Broadways  meant  little  to  Main  Streeters. 
Skinner — Skinner — wasn't  there  a  great  actor  named  that  twenty  years  back?  This  pinch- 
hitting  Skinner  might  be  a  relative  ...  a  daughter,  perhaps. 

Cornelia  inherits  much  of  her  father,  Otis  Skinner's,  tremendous  ability.  Today,  I  am  told 
by  many  of  those  who  read  this  magazine  that  she  is  radio's  most  distinguished  newcomer.  Her 
amazing  monologues  and  readings  are  making  America  sit  still  and  listen. 

Because  of  that  and  because  her  broadcasts  in  behalf  of  Jergens  have  added  new 
prestige  to  an  already  glittering  Sunday  evening  period,  we  bestow  on  her  Radio  Stars 
Magazine's  Award  for  Distinguished  Service  to  Radio. 


With  the  ease  of  the  old-timer,  and  the 
enthusiasm  of  the  new  adventurer, 
Cornelia  Otis  Skinner  goes  on  the  air, 
to  win  further  success  in  a  new  medium.

After  the  broadcast,  Dick  Powell,  ever-popular  singing  star  of  Hollywood 
Hotel,  relaxes  with  a  contented  smile.  It  went  pretty  well,  didn't  it,  he  most 
justifiably  may  be  thinking.  In  the  East  to  make  a  new  picture,  Powell  now 
broadcasts  on  this  regular  Friday  night  program  from  the  New  York  studio. 


When  the  Modern  Choir  comes  on  the  air.  to  mark  the  Goodrich  program,  on 
Friday  nights,  the  lovely  voice  of  Mildred  Monson,  the  soloist,  delights 
countless  listeners  with  its  charming  rendition  of  beautiful  melodies.  And 
Mildred    herself,    in   the   words   of  a    popular   song,   is   "lovely   to   look  atl" 


Having  won  fame  on  the  musical  comedy  stage,  in  the  concert  field,  and  in

You  have  heard  her  sing,  with  Frank  Munn,  in  the  charming  "Lavendar  and 
Old  Lace"  radio  series.    She  likes  to  swim,  play  tennis,  and  ride  horseback. 


Nelson  Eddy  himself,  girls!  And  according  to  all  we  hear,  he  is  "a  grand 
9Uy!"  He  has  reversed  the  usual  route  of  the  singing  star,  from  concert  to 
radio,  to  movies,  where  his  success  in  "Naughty  Marietta"  made  him  an 
instant  sensation.     But  he  worked  for  twenty  yeors  to  achieve  that  success) 


Patti  (%oqdM 

Lovely  young  Patti  Chaoin  is  winning  ever-increasing  popularity  on  the  radio. 
You  have  heard  her  as  featured  singer  of  the  "Family  Hotel"  program,  starring 
Jack  Pearl.  And  now,  on  Mondays,  you  may  hear  her  in  her  own  program.  She 
also  is  a  featured  sinqer  from  time  to  time  on  other  outstanding  broadcasts.

That  was  all  Ben  Bernie 


needed  to  stave  off  a  fearful 


catastrophe!  And  how  could 
a  penniless  fiddler  get  it? 


jSif  (Jay  Kiefofol 


"TEX  bucks  on  the  nose.    That's  what  I  said." 

The  old  Maestro  hung  up  the  receiver  and  poppec 
his  cigar  l)ack  into  his  mouth.  "That's  a  sure  horse!' 
He  grinned  at  us. 

"Do  you  always  bet  'em  on  the  nose?"  we  asked 
seriously. 

"Not  always — only  when  I've  got  a  hunch.  There  was 
a  time  when  I'd  bet  on  anything,  even  if  I  had  to  borrow 
money  to  do  it.  And  once  I  put  everything  I  had  on  a 
long  shot — It  was  fifteen  grand  or  nothing;  I  got  the 
fifteen  grand  and  placed  the  bet  ...P.S.I  got  the  job!" 

Today  Ben  Bernie  gambles  for  fun.  It's  swell  when 
he  wins,  and  he  can  afford  to  lose.  But  once  he  placed 
a  bet  when  the  odds  were  at  least  two  hundred  to  one 
against  him. 

It  was  in  New  York  City,  in  1920.  A  huge  crowd  was 
milling  around  the  roped-off  plot  of  ground  near  the 
Grand  Central  Depot.  Two  bands  played  stirring  music, 
pennants  fluttered  in  the  breeze.  Top-hatted  dignitaries 
moved  inside  the  enclosure,  shaking  hands  and  talking  in 
important  tones  that  carried  beyond  the  colorful 
bouquets  and  floral  horseshoes  to  the  eager,  watching 
mob.  Al  Smith,  himself,  was  there  to  make  a  speech 
and  turn  the  first  shovelful  of  ground  which  would  start 
construction  for  the  new  Roosevelt  Hotel. 

Ben  Bernie  was  there,  too.  He  had  wandered  up  from 
the  Bowery  where  he  had  been  playing  violin  in  the  old 


Haymarket  Cafe,  one  of  the  toughest  dives  on  the  lower 
East  Side.  He  had  played  there  for  "throw  money" 
and  meals  because  he  was  broke,  and  played  for  men 
too  drunk  to  listen — until  one  day  when  he  arrived  late 
and  found  another  violinist  in  his  place. 

He  knew  well  enough  what  that  meant,  so  he  wended 
his  way  uptown.  He  was  no  longer  the  hopeful,  happy- 
go-lucky  lad  who  had  started  out  thirteen  years  l)efore  to 
astound  the  world  with  his  music.  Then  he  had  dreamed 
of  building  a  great  house  somewhere  overlooking  the 
Hudson — a  place  to  which  he  could  turn  at  night,  to  hide 
away  from  fame.  Instead,  at  twenty-seven,  he  was  a 
small,  hungry-looking  young  man.  dressed  in  worn 
clothes  that  just  didn't  seem  to  fit.  People  passed  by  him. 
elbowing  their  way  roughly  in  and  out  of  the  crowd.  Sud- 
denly Ben  started  with  glad  surprise.  In  that  crowd  of 
strange  faces,  was  one  he  recognized. 

"Paul!"  he  called  out. 

Years  before.  Ben  had  known  Paul  Whiteman.  when 
both  had  played  on  the  same  bill  at  the  Palace  Theatre — 
the  King  of  Jazz  with  his  band  and  Bernie  filling  in  a 
number  two  spot  with  a  dash  of  Kreisler  on  his  fiddle. 
Now  things  were  different.  The  years  had  not  been  as 
kind  to  the  shabby  violinist  as  they  had  been  to  his  friend. 
Ben  wished  he  hadn't  let  out  that  spontaneous  yell  of 
joy — but  it  was  too  late.    Paul  had  seen  him. 

When  they  came  out  of  the  grill  across  the  street,  the 


"Young  Maestro"  had  a  good  meal  tucked  away  under 
his  belt.  A  long  black  cigar  shifted  nervously  in  his 
mouth,  and  in  his  genial  brown  eyes  there  gleamed  the 
spark  of  his  old  ambition. 

Quietly  he  watched  the  crowd  for  a  while  from  an 
advantageous  position  atop  a  fire  plug.  Then  he  sud- 
denly jumped  down  and  began  to  edge  his  way  persist- 
ently toward  the  inner  sanctum  of  officialdom.  Paul 
Whiteman  had  told  him  that  he  should  have  an  orchestra 
of  his  own.  Well,  he  would  have  one — and  this  was 
the  place  to  start  it ! 

Within  a  split  second  he  had  dodged  his  way  In-neath 
the  ropes  and  past  the  protecting  arms  of  several  for- 
bidding policemen.  As  he  ran.  Hen  singled  out  one  man 
who  seemed  more  pompous  and  important  than  the 
others.  To  this  man  he  somewhat  breathlessly  poured 
out  his  storv.  He  pointed  out  that  this  fine  new  hotel 
which  thev  were  building  would  need  an  orchestra.  He. 
Hen  Hernie.  was  prepared  to  furnish  it.  Vividly  he  drew 
on  his  imagination  for  previous  engagements  which  his 
non-existent  orchestra  had  filled.  He  offered  to  accept 
whatever  terms  the  hotel  would  make — and  he  apologized 
.profusely  for  having  disturbed  the  nice  celebration. 

"Hut  I  knew  I  couldn't  see  you  in  your  office,"  he 
explained.  "That's  why  I  dropj>ed  in  to  see  you  here.  I 
can't  afford  to  wait — I  can  iiold  my  band  together  only  if 
vou'll  promise  us  the  job  now."  (Continued  on  page  52) 


IF  I  were  a  Catholic,  the  story  I  heard  the  other  clay 
would  make  me  take  my  pen  in  hand,  I  think,  and  write 
a  letter.  It  would  he  addressed  to  the  Vatican,  Rome, 
Italy.  It  would  he  al>out  the  best-known  Catholic  in 
America,  Father  Charles  E.  Coughlin,  and  would  run 
something  like  this : 

The  Vatican 
Rome,  Italy 
( ientlemen : 

"1  am  a  layman,  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  and 
an  admirer  of  Father  Coughlin  for  as  many  years  as 
he  has  been  on  the  air.  I  should  like  to  ask  a  few  re- 
spectful  questions. 

"Question  One:  Did  Father  Coughlin  quit  tlie  air  on 
Sunday,  June  9,  at  the  direct  orders  of  the  Pope? 

"Perhaps  that  is  too  hrusk  an  approach,  hut  I  believe 
the  importance  of  the  answer  justifies  it.  We  have  only 
a  few  facts  over  here — and  we're  not  even  certain  they 
are  facts.  At  any  rate,  we  do  know  that  Father  Cough- 
lin suddenly  discontinued  his  series  of  midnight  broad- 
casts,   lie  said  something  about  a  rest  during  the  sum- 


father 


mer  and  promised  that  he  would  return  in  the  fall. 

"I  admit  that  it  is  perfectly  reasonahle  for  as  hard 
a  worker  as  Charles  E.  Coughlin  to  desire  a  rest,  hut 
lie  had  previously  intimated  that  he  would  broadcast 
right  through  the  summer.  More  important,  smoke  sig- 
nals have  l>een  burning  on  the  hills  about  his  camp  for 
some  time  and  some  of  our  less  friendly  expert  observers 
have  read  in  them  some  secret  and  surprising  things. 

"For  instance,  the  sudden  trip  to  Washington,  D.  C, 
taken  by  Bishop  Gallegher  of  Detroit  early  in  June. 

"That  trip  was  the  beginning  of  the  end  of  Father 
Coughlin's  broadcasting,  according  to  my  own  informa- 
tion.   The  inside  story  is  this: 

"The  summons  to  Washington  came  not  from  any 
Archbishop  or  Cardinal,  but  from  the  Pope's  own  per- 
sonal representative  in  America,  the  gentleman  known 
unofficially  as  the  Papal  Nuncio.  Most  people  in  Amer- 
ica do  not  understand  that  it  was  Bishop  Gallegher  of 
Detroit  alone  who  stood  responsible  to  the  Pope  for 
Coughiin's  ix>litical  talks.  Most  people  don't  know  that 
Cardinal  Mundelein  of  Chicago  or  Cardinal  O'Connell 
of  Boston  or  Cardinal  Hayes  of  New  York  have  no

disciplinary  authority  over  Bishop  Gallagher  of  Detroit 
"Even  if  they  wished  to  order  Father  Coughlin  off 
the  air — and  some  of  them  did — they  could  not  do  so 
But  the  Papal  Nuncio,  representing  the  Pope  himself, 
could  .  .  .  and  did. 

"He  seated  Bishop  Gallegher  in  his  office,  my  author- 
ity tells  me.  and  spoke  of  the  distressing  state  of  Gal- 
legher's  Detroit  bishopric.  Without  naming  nanus,  he 
indicated  that  His  Holiness  Pope  Pius  XI  was  sorely 
distressed  that  so  much  noise  should  lie  emanating  from 
that  portion  of  his  holy  realm.  If  that  noise  were 
promptly  abated.  Bishop  Gallegher  might  look  forward 
to  a  long  and  happy  residence  in  his  comfortable  bishop- 
ric. If  it  continued  .  .  .  well.  I  understand  th.it  certain 
duties  in  the  swamps  of  Florida  or  the  I'tah  ktdlands 
were  suggested. 

"That  was  on  Thursday.  Father  Coughlin  signed  off 
on  the  following  Saturday. 

s  "These  facts,  if  they  are  facts,  liave  come  to  me  on 
the  highest  authority.  Many  of  us  don't  like  the  story 
because  it  isn't  the  straightforward  treatment  such  a  sit- 
uation deserves.    Nor  can  we  l>elieve  that  the  courage 


which  caused  Bishop  Gallegher  to  sup|Mirt  Father  Cough- 
lin in  the  |va>t  would  fail  at  the  mere  threat  of  |>ersonal 
discomfort.  Vet.  he  nude  the  trip  to  Washington  and 
Father  Coughlin  did  quit  broadcasting. 

"I'd  like  to  know  the  truth  of  the  nutter. 

"Question  Two:  When  is  <;  priest  not  a  priest  ' 

"In  other  words.  I  ask  tlut  Utaiw  1  need  a  bit  of 
settling  in  my  mind,  and  so  do  millions  of  others  who 
find  their  religion  and  politics  mixed  up. 

"Specifically,  can  I  accept  the  doctrines  of  the  Coughlin 
broadcasts,  which  come  from  the  Shrine  of  the  Little 
blower  near  Detroit,  as  being  what  the  Church  stands 
for.  when  on  a  week-night  be  visits  Madison  Square 
Garden  in  New  York  and  states  the  same  or  similar  doc- 
trines to  20.01X1  jH-ople  whom  he  is  seeking  to  enlist  in 
his  political  National  Cnion  for  Social  Justice? 

"I  believe  in  Father  Coughlin  as  a  num.  As  a  priest, 
his  creed  seems  often  to  Ik-  at  variance  with  mine. 

"For  a  long  time  a  great  nuny  people  are  saving  this 
thing  should  l>c  settled  one  way  or  another.  If  he  is 
off  the  air  for  good,  that  will  be  that.  If  he  isn't  sincere

"She  was  a  chorus  girl  out  of  a  job.  She  was 
crying.  She  said  her  name  was  Lucille  La 
Sueur."  You  know  her  now  as  Joan  Crawford. 


"If  it  hadn't  been  for  that  lucky  chance," 
N.T.G.  said,  "Barbara  Stanwyck  would  never 
have  graduated  from  the  chorus  to  stardom!" 


Who  is  "N.  T.  G.?"    Read  this  amazing  revelation  of  the 


FIFTY  THOUSAND  chorus  girls  can't  be 
wrong ! 
Ses  who? 

Ses  the  man  who  is  the  guiding  spirit  behind 
nine  out  of  ten  chorus  U'r's  in  New  York. 
Sec  N.  T.  G.,  the  most  unusual  new  comet  to  startle  the 
radio  scene. 

Who  is  this  N.  T.  G. — this  brash  young  man  knowti 
only  by  those  odd  initials? 

To  the  fifty  thousand  rouged  little  darlings  who  dance 
in  the  dim  New  Y  ork  night  clubs  he  is  "Granny."  Granny 
is  an  abbreviation  of  his  name :  Nils  Thor  Granlund. 
But,  strangely  enough,  it  also  signifies  the  protection  and 
fatherly  devotion  of  a  real  "granny."  Which,  take  it 
from  these  fifty  thousand,  is  just  what  he  is  to  them. 

And  to  N.  T.  G.,  these  fifty  thousand  kids  who  live 
by  night,  who  are  in  the  most  hard-boiled  and  most  ma- 
ligned business  in  the  world  are  "my  babies." 

And  now  he's  bringing  them — these  peroxide,  platinum 
blondes,  these  hip-swinging,  rhumba-quivering  gals,  these 
Broadway  babies,  these — these  chorus  girls,  to  the  air ! 


N.T.G.  and  His  Girls  every  Monday  night.  Bringing  them 
to  radio,  the  radio — mind  you — which  is  the  prim  aunty  of 
show  business.    Bringing  them  straight  into  your  home! 

It  was  a  hard  fight  N.  T.  G.  had  to  wage  to  get  radio 
to  lift  its  ban  on  his  girls.  And  now  that  that  battle  is 
won,  he's  waging  an  even  tougher  one  to  change  the 
Opinion  of  the  whole  country  about  chorus  girls. 

What  have  you  heard  about  chorus  girls?  "Gold 
diggers"  .  •.  .  "hard  boiled"  ...  "1  wouldn't  let  my  daugh- 
ter become  one"  .  .  .  "l>eautifu]  but  dumb"  .  .  .  "indecent." 

"It  ain't  so!"  sez  Granny. 

Come  with  me  to  the  popular  Paradise  Cabaret  in 
New  York,  where  the  lights  are  soft  and  the  music  loud, 
where  "the  most  beautiful  girls  in  the  world"  cavort 
around  on  the  stage  while  you  struggle  with  your  filet

incomparable 


A  HOST  of  pleasant  adjectives — tall,  lovely,  charming, 
direct,  sincere — flocked  to  my  mind  as  I  was  introduced 
to  Cornelia  Otis  Skinner. 

I  sat  down  beside  her.  It  was  an  hour  before  her  pro- 
gram was  to  go  on  the  air,  but  already  the  musicians  were 
rehearsing  and  the  program  director  was  arranging  the 
sound  effects.  We  chatted  for  a  few  moments,  although 
our  interview  properly  was  to  come  after  her  broadcast. 
Then  the  orchestra  leader  beckoned  to  her  and  she  rose 
to  go  over  the  music  cues  with  him.  She  read  through 
her  script,  while  the  music  was  timed  in  its  proper  in- 
tervals and  the  sound  effects  cued  in.  And  in  the  control 
room  the  engineer  and  the  director  listened  and  gave 
directions  for  securing  the  desired  results. 

Presently  Miss  Skinner  retired  to  change  into  an  evening 
gown.  And  then  it  was  time  for  the  program  to  go  on 
the  air.  The  audience  had  been  ushered  in  to  its  seats.  A 
light  flashed  on  the  switchboard.  The  announcer  made  his 
introductory  remarks.  And  the  broadcast  had  begun. 
Cornelia  Otis  Skinner's  third  Sunday  on  the  Jergens 
program. 

If  you  are  one  of  those  who  have  heard  her  monologues 
mi  the  stage,  you  knew  what  was  in  store  for  you  when 
you  tuned  in  on  that  program  the  first  Sunday  after 
Walter  Winchell  had  departed  on  his  vacation.  But  if 
you  are  one  of  the  greater  multitude  who  till  now  have 
not  heard  this  gifted  young  artist,  you  felt,  I  am  sure,  a 
real  thrill  when  Miss  Skinner's  first  program  came  pver 
the  air  to  you. 

I.  myself,  though  I  have  seen  and  heard  her  on  the 
stage,  felt,  as  I  listened  that  first  night,  that  radio  sud- 
denly had  grown  in  stature — that  through  this  instrument, 
so  often  the  medium  of  the  commonplace,  something  rare 
and  memorable  was  coming  into  countless  homes. 

That  first  program,  as  well  as  those  which  have  fol- 
lowed it,  brought  vividly  to  the  listener,  as  if  he  actually 
were  seeing  and  hearing  them,  characters  and  speech  of 
a  quality  hew  to  broadcasting. 

How  does  she  do  it?  And  why  did  she  choose  this  par- 
ticular field  of  entertainment,  rather  than  the  "legitimate 
stage"  toward  which  her  first  aspirations  directed  her? 

The  career  chose  her,  really,  Miss  Skinner  confessed 
to  me. 

"I  didn't  get  anywhere  on  the  stage — and  one  summer 
1  had  no  job,  and  I  started  doing  these  monologues.  I 
used  to  do  them  at  school  and  college,  and  I  did  them  at 
parties,  to  amuse  my  friends.  Then  people  began  calling 
me  up  and  asking  me  what  I  would  charge  to  do  some 
for  this  or  that  affair.  .  .  .  And  so  it  began." 

It  is  easy  to  believe  that  the  career  in  which  she  is  so 
successful  chose  her.  Tt  is  so  precisely  her  field.  And  her 
flexible  voice  is  a  perfect  instrument  for  conveying  to 
her  audience  a  full  and  rounded  picture  of  the  character 
she  is  creating.  And  it  is  a  creation — not  an  imitation, 
such  as  one  so  often  hears  over  the  air,  of  eve'rything 
from  a  barnyard  chicken  to  a  darling  of  stage  or  screen 

radio.

They  come  before  us — the  American  society  woman, 
making  ready  for  her  presentation  at  the  British  court.  .  .  . 
The  characters  casually  encountered  in  a  brief  stroll 
through  Times  Square — the  forlorn  vendor  of  chewing 
gum.  her  sick  baby  in  her  arms ;  the  young  woman  and 
her  husband,  going  to  see,  La  Boheme  together  the  night 
before  he  is  to  start  for  Arizona,  a  journey  from  which 
both  know,  but  bravely  deny  the  knowledge,  he  will  not 
come  back.  .  .  Sailing  Time — a  graphic  re-creation -of  the 
frenzied  and  futile  farewell  messages  exchanged  between 
two  friends,  one  on  the  ship,  the  other  on  the  pier.  .  .  . 

These  are  people  whom  Cornelia  Otis  Skinner  has  .ob- 
served and  understood.  Their  futilities,  their  hopes  and 
heartaches,  are  sympathetically  reproduced.  We  laugh  or 
weep  with  these  people,  and  know  that  we  have  had  a 
real  glimpse  into  their  hearts  and  lives, 

I  asked  her  if  she  enjoyed  the  radio  work  and  she  said 
sincerely  that  she  did.  although  she  missed  that  stimulat- 
ing "element  which  "the  response  of  an  audience  always 
gives  to  an  artist. 

She  told  me  of  a  program  she  had  given  in  a  Phila- 
delphia theatre.  It  was  on  a  night  following  a  severe

snowstorm,  and  the  city  had  not  yet  dug  itself  out.  The 
audience  had  come  largely  from'  Philadelphia's  suburbs, 
struggling  long  distances  through  drifts  and  bitter  cold  to 
get  to  the  j>erformance. 

Never,  Miss  Skinner  said,  her  eyes  glowing  softly  with 
rememhrance.  had  she  had  a  more  enthusiastic  audience 
— and  never,  she  felt.- did  she  give  a  better  performance. 

That  response,  which  challenges  and  brings  out  the 
best  that  an  artist  has  to  give  is.  of  course,  absent  from 
a  broadcasting  program.  True,  there  is  a  small  audience 
in  the  studio — not  more  than  sixty  can  be  accommodated 
in  the  XBC  studio  in  Radio  City  where  Miss  Skinner's 
programs  originate.  And.  too.  circumstances  there  are 
very  different  from  those  under  which  the  stage  per- 
formance is  given.  On  the  stage  there  is  nothing  to  come 
between  actor  and  audience.  Such  technicians  as  must 
be  present  for  music  or  lighting  or  sound  effects  are  be- 
hind the  scenes  or  otherwise  invisible.  But  in  the  studio 
the  eyes  and  attention  of  the  watchers  are  distracted  by 
the  mechanism  of  the  broadcast. 

There  is  the  small  orchestra,  grouped  alxnit  the  piano, 
with  their  microphone.  Close  by  them  is  a  small  raised 
platform  on  which  the  actress  stands,  her  mike  before 
her.  Behind  her,  facing  a  switchboard  and  another  micro- 
phone, is  the  announcer.  Above  him  on  the  wall  is  a  clock, 
whose  large  red  second  hand  marks  the  split  second  when 
the  broadcast  begins,  when  the  commercial  talk  finishes, 
when  the  actress  is  introduced.  To  the  right  of  Miss 
Skinner's  platform  bulk  various  equipment  for  sound 
effects,  and  nearby,  scripts  in  hand,  stand  the  sound  effects 
man  and  the  program  director. 

Nevertheless,  despite  these  inevitable  adjuncts  to 
broadcasting  her  program,  the  actress,  when  she  begins 
to  speak,  stands  within  a  scene  of  her  own  creating,  its 
mood  established  with  her  first  words.  The  tone  and 
timbre  of  her  voice  build  up  the  drama.  Her  face  portrays 
the  emotions  she  is  feeling — not  for  effect  on  the  few 
who  may  lie  watching,  but  because,  for  the  moment,  she 
is  real  within  a  world  that  is  not  real. 

Miss  Skinner  prefers  to  base  her  monologues  on 
sketches  which  she  herself  has  written,  as  it  gives  her 
more  freedom  of  interpretation.  Some  are  developed 
from  observation. 

"Some."  Miss  Skinner  says,  "just  come.  ...  I  wish  I 
knew  from  where.  ...  I'd  have  more  of  them!" 

It  is  not  surprising  that  Cornelia  Otis  Skinner  should 
be  a  rare  artist.  Multitudes  have  known  and  loved  her 
famous  father,  Otis  Skinner,  whose  brilliant  career  on 
the  stage  stretches  back  over  more  years  than  many  of 
us -can  remember.  Naturally  his  daughter  would  l>e  gifted. 

Then.  too.  all  her  schooling  was  directed  toward  a 
career  on  the  stage.  Cornelia  studied  at  the  Baldwin 
School  in  Bryn  Mawr.  ainl.  for  two  years,  at  Brvn  Mawr 
college.  After  that,  the  Sorbonne  in  Paris,  the  Comedie 
Franqais,  and  the  School  of  Jacques  Copeau.  She  has  ap- 
peared in  a  numlier  of  stage  plays,  including  Will  Shake- 
speare. In  the  Next  Room.   {Continued  on  page  6S)

AS  modern  love  stories  go,  this  one  rates  the  overstuffed

program.

Because,  despite  the  fact  that  Virginia  Verrill's  date- 
book  is  only  a  shade  thinner  than  the  Manhattan  tele-

that  she  has  thirty-three  evening  dresses,  a  standing

GHOSTS 

I  have  been  in  haunted  studios. 

This  afternoon  I  went  to  the  build- 
ing which  the  National  Broadcasting 
Company  used  before  it  moved  to 
Radio  City  late  in  1933.  I  wandered 
through  the  deserted  corridors  and 
peered  into  dim,  forgotten  chambers. 

The  halls  that  had  known  the 
quick,  gay  laughter  and  the  bustle 
of  the  famous  were  quiet.  I  looked 
down  them  from  one  end  to  the 
other,  and  not  a  thing  moved. 

Yet  the  abandoned  place  was  alive 
to  me.  Its  starkness  was  softened 
by  the  memory  of  voices  that  long 
since  had  left  it,  and  their  bushed 
sounds  followed  me  as  I  moved 
quietly  around  through   the  rooms.

If  you  have  ever  been  in  the  big 
studio  there  at  711  Fifth  Avenue — 
the  Cathedral  Studio — you  will  re- 
member it :  softly  lighted,  alive, 
important.  Now  it's  a  tomb.  I  en- 
tered it  and  lit  a  match,  for  the  dark- 
ness was  dense.  In  here  had  been, 
once  upon  time,  Jessica  Dragonette 
and  Rosario  Bourdon  working  over 
their  Cities  Service  program.  And 
the  Magic  Carpet,  with  B.  A.  Rolfe 
and  his  flashing  rhythms,  Walter 
Winchell  and  his  "Okey,  America," 
Walter  O'Keefe  and  his  "Man  on 
the  flying  Trapeze."  Now  they  all 
are  at  Radio  City.  All,  that  is,  ex- 
cept O'Keefe,  who  is  a  Columbia 
artist — and  the  Magic  Carpet,  which 
lies  forgotten  in  the  darkness  and  the 
dust. 


I  went  into  each  studio,  and  in 
each  studio  there  were  these  memo- 
ries. Studio  B,  lofty  and  silent.  In 
there  Russ  Colombo  had  started  his 
grand  career — the  career  that  ended 
so  tragically.  In  another,  Jane  Frn- 
man  stuttered  her  first  instructions 
to  an  orchestra  leader,  and  the  Rev- 
elers started  Jimmy  Melton,  Frank 
I'arker  and  Prank  Munn  to  fame 
and  fortune. 

As  I  left.  I  came  across  the  care- 
taker. 

'What,"  I  asked,  "are  they  going 
to  do  with  this?" 

"Well."  he  said,  "they  could  make 
a  museum  of  it.  But  they'll  prob- 
ably rent  it  out  to  a  hairdresser. 
Won't  that  be  nice?" 

Won't  it,  though? 

THE  GALS 

We  are  standing  beside  litatrice

Radio  City,  and  while  you  and  I  see 
one  of  the  band  men  disappear  into 
an"  odd  slot  in  the  wall  to  get  the 
instrument  he  keeps  there,  she  doesn't 
notice  him.  She  turns  just  in  time 
to  see  him  come  out,  instrument  in 
band.     She   looks   very  thoughtful.

matter  of  fact,  most  of  the  big 
artists  spend  little  time  on  their 
wardrobes.  Fred  Allen  dresses 
nicely,  but  he  never  buttons  the 
collar  of  his  shirt.  Whispering 
Jack  Smith  doesn't,  either.  Bing 
Crosby  wears  a  battered  old  cap 
so  he  won't  have  to  wear  his 
bothersome  touj>ee.  John  B. 
Kennedy  is  probably  the  poor-

than  he  does  in  the  selection  of

"AMER- 
ICAN girls 
should  not 
marry  titles!" 
Benay  Ven- 
uta  tossed 
her  golden 
head,  straight- 
ened her  slim 
shoulders. 

"Even  if 
y  o  u  r  boy 
friend  hasn't 
a  nickel,  if 
he's  a  clean- 
cut  lad,  take 
a  chance  on 
h  i  m — a  n  y 
day!  Even  if 
you  have  to 
work  after 
you  are  mar- 
ried. If  titles 
are  a  dollar  a 
dozen,    it  is 

sheer  economy  to  forget  'em !  They're 
not  worth  a  nickel  apiece.  Take  it 
from  one  who  knows." 

To  look  at  Benay  Venuta  today, 
slim,  poised,  self-assured,  glamorous, 
you'd  never  believe  there  could  have 
been  anything  in  her  life  to  make  her 
so  bitter,  so  pitiless  in  her  judg- 
ment. 

But  there  was.  A  love  affair  with 
a  German  title.  And  though  it  hap- 
pened four  years  ago  its  memory  still 
hurts. 

Born  Benvenuta  Crooke,  of  Ital- 
ian-American parentage,  Benay  at 
fifteen  first  tried  her  wings  in  Holly- 
wood, as  a  member  of  Grauman's 
ballet.  For  three  years  she  tried  to 
make  the  grade  without  success ; 
then  her  family,  awakened  to  the 
perils  of  dizzy,  erotic  Hollywood, 
shipped  her  off  to  a  Swiss  finishing- 
school  at  Beaupre.  There  thirty- 
odd  girls)  members  of  the  wealthiest 
and  most  aristocratic  European 
families,  led  the  lives  of  cloistered 
nuns. 

The  only  American  girl  there,  she 
had  no  one  to  talk  with  or  to  confide 
in.  She  was  appalled  by  the  strict 
discipline,  in  contrast  to  her  Ameri- 
can freedom.  She  still  shudders  when 
she  thinks  of  the  two  long,  lonely 
years    in     that    exclusive  school.

Benay  Venuta 


The  girls 
weren't  al- 
lowed to 
smoke.  Benay 
smoked.  They 
had  to  dress 
for  dinner. 
This  inde- 
pendent 
young  Amer- 
ican wore  a 
leather  lum- 
berjack over 
her  evening 
gown  every 
night  pleading 
coldness. 
Since  she 
didn't  like  the 
old  fossil  who 
gave  them 
riding  lessons 
— t  he  only 
male  in  the 
school  —  she 
insisted  she  couldn't  understand  his 
French,  and  refused  to  go  riding 
with  him.  Into  the  cloistered  quar- 
ters she  brought  the  record,  "I  Can't 
Give  You  Anything  But  Love,"  and 
all  the  girls  played  it  over  and  over 
on  the  gramophone  Saturday  nights. 
Playing  that  victrola  was  their  great- 
est pleasure,  and  only  allowed  on  hol- 
idays, which  affords  a  pretty  good 
picture  of  what  the  gay,  undisci- 
plined Benay  was  up  against,  and 
why  what  happened  later  affected 
her  so  deeply. 

The  winter  passed  slowly.  Christ- 
mas came.  And  one  of  the  girls, 
Freda  L.,  the  daughter  of  the  second 
wealthiest  family  in  Germany,  in- 
vited Benay  to  spend  the  vacation 
with  her  at  St.  Moritz,  where  Freda's 
entire  family  was  staying.  Since  a"ll 
the  girls  went  home  and  Benay  didn't 
enjoy  the  prospect  of  staying  at  the 
school  alone,  she  accepted  with 
alacrity. 

"Honestly,"  she  told  me,  her  eyes 
widening  at  the  recollection,  "I've 
never  seen  people  so  terribly  wealthy ! 
They  had  rented  an  entire  floor  at 
the  Suvretta  Villa,  one  of  the  five 
places  in  St.  Moritz  where  the  nobil- 
ity and  social  leaders  stay  for  the 
season."

IRV1XG  K  A  IT"  MAN  —  you 
know  him  as  Lazy  Dan  and  Mr. 
Jim,  the  Singing  Chef  and  Salty 
Sam  the  Sailor — wanted  a  home. 

He  knows  that  subiirljan 
home-owners  are  considered 
Caspar  Milquetoasts  and  that 
men  who  don't  use  tobacco  and 
liquor  are  thought  of  as  "nice": 
still,  there's  nothing  he  likes  let- 
ter to  do  than  sit  at  home  Inside 
one  of  his  nine  fireplaces  and  not 
smoke  a  cigar  and  not  drink  a 
highball. 

There  is  a  reason,  but  we 
must  go  back  about  thirty  years 
to  really  get  it. 

In  the  cold,  closet-like  dressHfl 
room  of  the  little  tank-town  the- 
ater somewhere  in  Pennsylvania 
Irving  Kaufman,  seven  years 
old.  sat  on  a  trunk.  There  was 
a  cigar  in  his  month — he  was 
billed  as  a  Russian  midget — his 
long  trousers  were  gay.  and  his 
derby  set  jauntily  on  his  cher- 
uhic  head. 

He  took  the  cigar  from  his 
mouth  and  looked  at  his  nine- 
vear-old  brother.  Phil,  thought- 
fully. "Phil."  he  said.  "I'mi 
ing  to  have  a  big  house  some- 
and  I'm  going  to  do  a  lot 
living  in  it." 

He   had   been  literally 
roaded  into  the  theatre  the 
before.     It   had   been   his  cus- 
tom,    while     living     with     his  j 
mother  and  sisters  in  Svracuse,

a  home 


gave  it  to  him 


to  rule  in  the  smoking  car  of  a 
Syracuse  short  line  on  its  daily 
trips.  One  day  a  new  conduc- 
tor, who  was  not  in  sympathy 
with  youngsters  unahle  to  buy 
tickets,  put  him  off  at  a  way 
station. 

Darkness  found  the  boy  still 
there,  facing  a  night  of  lonely 
misery.  At  length,  a  freight 
train  passed  and  Irving  crawled 
into  an  empty  box  car.  He  was 
discovered  almost  immediately 
by  the  train  crew ;  so,  in  a  des- 
perate attempt  to  forestall  l»eing 
put  off  again,  he  went  through 
an  amazing  repertoire  of  min- 
strel songs.  At  the  end  of  the 
trip  the  hat  was  passed :  Irving 
found  himself  in  possession  of 
rive  dollars! 

Irving 's  father  had  brought 
him.  together  with  his  mother, 
four  brothers  and  three  sisters, 
from  Kavno.  Russia.  Their 
finances  were  not  in  the  l>est  pos- 
sible condition,  but  Irving  had 
been  considered  far  too  youni; 
for  a  regular  job.  Now.  with 
five  dollars  as  proof  of  his

Leo  R 


LEO  REIS- 
MAN  is  the 
lM>lshevist  of 
syncopation, 
t  h  e  Red  of 
rhythm. 

Had  he 
brought  his 
tactics  into 
politics  i  n  - 
stead  of  mu- 
sic, he  might 
have  been 
hanged  in  ef- 
figy in  public 
squares,  re- 
viled from 
pulpits.  In- 
stead, he  has 
been  the  ob-  • 
ject  of  vitri- 
olic diatribes 
in  the  smoke- 
filled  cubicles 
of  music  publishing  houses. 

Before  telling  how  he  attracted 
those  broadsides  and  how  he  stuck 
by  his  guns  until  he  had  established 
his  revolutionary  ideas,  it  is  well  to 
note  the  forces  that  shaped  his  per- 
sonality. They  were  two :  a  mother 
who  insisted  that  he  think,  and  the 
spinister  daughter  of  a  Methodist 
minister  who  insisted  that  he  think 
straight.  On  those  principles,  this 
man's  life  has  been  built.  Because 
of  them,  he  has  succeeded. 

He  was  a  dreamy  little  Jewish  boy 
in  the  Boston  ghetto  when  they  were 
planted  firmly  in  hi.;  mind — a  quiet 
little  boy  who  didn't  know  that  in 
Manhattan's  ghetto.  Eddie  Cantor. 
Georgie  Price  and  Al  Jolson  were  learn- 
ing similar  things.  He  was  practicing 
the  violin,  not  because  he  wanted  to. 
but  localise  his  mother  made  him.  And 
he  remained  rebellious  about  it  until 
one  day  he  produced  a  lovely  sound. 
"It  was  marvelous."  he  told  me. 
It  must  have  awakened  a  longing 
for  more,  because  I  kept  sawing 
away,  hoping  to  produce  another 
sound  as  pretty.     I  never  have." 

The  minister's  daughter  was  Maria 
Wood,  who  taught  the  seventh-grade 
class  at  the  Dudley  Grammar  School. 
One  day.  Leo  went  to  her  home  to 
practice    for    an    impending  school

can  imagine 
him  standing 
on  her  thres-

untutored  boy 
with  a  shabby 
fiddle  case  un-

looking  hun- 
gry-eyed a  t 
things  he  had 
only  read 
about :  a  for-

linen  and 
gleaming 
cutlery ;  late 
afternoon 
sunshine 
streaming  in 
through  long 
windows  that 
showed  a  glimpse  of  an  old  garden. 
The  lady  must  have  beard  his  silent 
cry.  because  she  made  her  home  his 
home  thereafter,  and  her  faultless 
background  his  background. 

"She  taught  me  the  value  of  sim- 
ple, straight  thinking."  Leo  said.  "To 
this  day  it  affects  my  whole  artistic 
point  of  view." 

When,  six  years  later,  he  left 
English  High  School  in  Boston,  he 
already  was  somewhat  of  a  radical. 
He  had  defied  the  tradition  that 
seniors  should  receive  recognition 
for  their  work  in  the.  school  land 
and.  as  director,  had  filled  his  posi- 
tions with  the  l>est  from  any  class.  As 
a  result,  the  school  organization  was 
one  few  of  the  Hub  City's  profes- 
sional bands  could  equal.  He  re- 
ceived two  offers  to  join  the  Boston 
Symphony  and  a  scholarship  to  the 
New  England  Conservatory  of  Mu- 
sic.   He  accepted  ihe  scholarship.

"I  got  a  break.  I  was  iKirn  in  a 
house,"  Stella  Friend  told  me  today. 

The  dusky,  half  Mexican  songbird 
who  heads  the  "male  quartette"  on 
Fred  Waring's  program  was  talking 
confidentially,  revealing  for  the  first, 
time  the  unbelievable  prologue  which 
preceded  her  brilliant  career 

Mayl)e  l>eing  born  in  a  house 
doesn't  mean  much  to  you.  Hut  did 
to  her.  Radio,  like  Hollywood  and 
Broadway,  has  its  glittering  lumi- 
naries, its  four-star  personalities 
which  are  as  celebrated  as  Park  Ave- 
nue's Four  Hundred.  And  Stella 
Friend  is  one  of  them  todav.  But 


she  was  not  always  one  of  them. 

Stella  is  the  voungest  of  seven  girls, 
and  the  only  one  Ixirn  outside  the 
small  rude  hut  of  a  Mexican  mining 
camp.  W  hen  her  sisters  were  )>orn, 
in  that  ore-laden  region  far  from 
civilization,  there  wen  no  whitc- 
uni formed  doctors  nor  sanitary  hos- 
pitals to  go  to.  So  two  wrinkled  old 
Indian  squaws,  expert  midwives,  at- 
tended Stella's  frail  little  mother. 

Hut  before  Stella  arrived  on  the 
scene  the  mines  shut  down  and  her 
familv  migrated  northward,  past  the 
Rio  Grande,  In  a  little  California 
town   called   Anaheim,   they  paused 


long  enough  to  invest  their  hoarded 
nuggets  in  a  small  home,  supplied 
with  gilt-edged  first  and  second 
mortgages.  Here  the  seventh  child 
was  l>orn. 

"So  you  see  I  did  get  a  break.  It 
was  a  real  house,  with  l>eds  and  glass 
window  panes  and  doors  that  swung 
on  hinges." 

Almost  as  soon  as  she  could  walk. 
Stella  learned  to  work.  Hut  the 
training  stood  her  in  good  stead. 
( )nl y  a  few  years  later  the  mortgage 
company  foreclosed  and  took  their 
home  away.  Her  father's  dreams 
and   hojx's   were  shattered ;  he  had 


She  had  grit, 
this  girl;  when 
she  sang  to 
keep  her  heart 
from  breaking. 


Today  life  is  rosy, 
but  what  of  Stella 
Friend's  yesterday? 
Here  is  her  story 


2?y  (jaif 


life  for 

worked  hard  to  get  the  little  place, 
only  to  lose  it !  And  he  was  too  old 
to  laugh  at  life.  He  asked  his  fam- 
ily to  return  to  Mexico;  when  they 
refused,  he  left  alone,  to  plunge  dis- 
consolately back  into  his  work  in  the 
re-opened  mines  of  his  deep  moun- 
tain hide-away. 

That  she  could  not  speak  English 
did  not  stop  his  wife  from  carrying 
on  without  him.  Nor  did  the  grim 
realization  that  she  would  have  to 
support  those  seven  girls  make  her 
flinch.  She  had  seen  the  benefits  her 
daughters  would  have  as  American- 
bred  girls.  They  should  have  them. 

The  few  bits  of  fur- 
niture which  remained 
after  the  crash — most  of 
it  was  sold — she  crowd- 
ed into  a  cart,  and  be- 
gan to  look  for  a  new 
home.  They  were  no- 
mads now,  wanderers  in 
a  foreign  country.  Fi- 
nally, in  an  almost  track- 
less sea  of  mud,  the 
plucky  woman  found  a 
homestead  site — just  a 
vacant  lot,  surrounded 
by  drooping  eucalyptus 
and  gnarled  palm  trees. 

"We  put  up  a  tent," 
Stella  confided.  "And 
there    we    lived.  My 
mother  scrubbed  floors, 
took  in  washing  and  slaved  away  at 
any  kind  of  work  a  woman  could 
do.   And  she  never  appealed  to  char- 
ity.   But  people  gave  us  clothes  and 
we  girls  were  always  dressed  nicely, 
because  Mother  could  make  beauti- 
ful things  from  almost  nothing.  She 
still  can. 

"Often  we  were  hungry,  and  some- 
times in  the  night  we  were  numb 
with  cold.  But  we  didn't  have  time 
to  worry.  There  was  never  a  home 
so  crowded  with  happiness  as  our 
little  tent." 

Stella  was  only  nine  years  old  at 
this  time,  hut  she  went  to  work.  Out 
in  the  fields,  among  the  Japanese  and 
Mexican  laborers,  she  found  a  job 
picking  berries.  All  summer  long 
beneath  a  blazing,  scorching  sun  she 
worked — and  got  very  little  salary 
besides  her  board  and  room.  But 
even  that  helped. 

When  September  came,  there  was 
no  more  work ;  the  berry-picking 
season  was  over.  Stella  returned  to 
her  home  the  day  school  opened. 
Here,  at  recess  time,  she  met  her  new 
classmates — happy,  well-fed  young- 
sters, girls  whose  crisp  new  dresses 
her  mother  had  sewed  and  laundered. 
The  ones  Stella  wore  for  best  were 


hers  ? 

these  girls'  cast-off  garments,  made 
over  to  fit  her.  The  children  asked 
her  name,  wanted  to  know  where 
she  lived;  they  invited  her  to  join  in 
their  games.  But  Stella  could  not, 
would  not  share  their  gayety. 

"I  ran  away  when  they  asked 
where  I  lived,"  she  told  me.  "How 
could  I  tell  them  we  had  no  house? 
They  wouldn't  l>elieve  anyone  actual- 
ly lived  in  a  tent.  I  felt  very  badly 
— but  I  am  sure  my  sisters  must  have 
felt  it  even  more  keenly  than  I.  They 
were  fourteen  and  fifteen,  you  see — 
old  enough  to  have  boy  friends,  and 
go  to  parties.  We  tried  to  be  happy 
at  home,  singing  together — but  the 
only  songs  we  knew  we  had  learned 
out  in  the  berry  fields.  Even  they 
sounded  different  from  the  songs  the 
other  girls  sang." 

Their  classmates  had  play  time, 
too,  and  special  hours  in  the  evening 
for  study,  in  well-lighted  homes.  But 
Stella's  homework  was  sandwiched 
in  between  hours  of  housework  and 
snatches  of  exhausted  slumber. 
There  were  a  cow,  a  vegetable  gar- 
den and  a  tiny  flower  bed  to  tend. 

"I  would  rush  home  from  school 
to  dig  and  weed  until  the  sun  went 
down.  Then  I'd  milk  the  cow,  and 
after  pouring  off  two  quarts  for  us 
to  drink  at  home  I'd  go  out  and  sell 
the  rest." 

Then,  too,  there  were  piles  of 
clothes  to  iron — large,  damp  rolls  of 
laundry  which  must  be  ready  in  the 
morning.  Her  mother  was  always 
busy,  so  Stella  often  prepared  the 
evening  meal.  While  it  cooked  there 
was  sometimes  a  little  time  to  study 
before  the  daylight  was  gone. 

In  a  corner  lay  a  'cello.  Years  be- 
fore, Stella  and  her  sister  had  taken 
violin  lessons  together.  But  not  for 
long.  Her  father  thought  it  silly. 
"Two  girls  in  one  family  play- 
ing the  violin,"  he  said,  "is  foolish- 
ness." So  he  traded  Stella's  violin 
for  a  'cello.  She  hated  the  deep- 
throated  instrument,  and  flatly  re- 
fused to  go  on  studying. 

But  now.  in  the  evenings,  her 
house  and  school  work  finished,  she 
would  sit  and  play  for  hours.  She 
bad  come  to  love  music  above  every- 
thing. The  languid,  sorrowful  notes 
floated  from  the  little  lamp-lit  tent 
on  summer  nights,  and  as  Stella 
played  to  her  mother  the  tired  little 
woman  told  stories  of  her  own  girl- 
hood in  Mexico.  Stella  still  remem- 
bers them — sad  tales  of  climbers  lost 
on  snow-capped  mountains,  and 
happy  ones  about  gay  fiestas. 

This  was  their  chief  entertainment.

THE  mVER 


Like  every  young  girl,  the  Princess  Laurel  dreamed 
of  love  and  of  a  knight  in  shining  armor  who  would 
come  to  her  one  day.  .  .  . 

So  when  her  father,  the  King,  sent  for  her  one  after- 
noon, Laurel  was  cruelly  shocked  when  he  told  her 
that  she  was  to  marry  the  Emperor  Salue  of  Tulogia. 
The  Emperor's  ambassador.  Lord  Baton,  had  come  to 
her  father's*  court  to  ask  for  her  hand,  and  to  take  her 
with  him,  back  to  Tulogia. 

Laurel's  heart  almost  stopped  beating.  She  had 
heard  of  the  Emperor  Salue.  He  was  dreadful!  Cruel 
and  selfish!    Almost  an  ogre,  really! 

"You — you  don't  mean  I  am  to  marry  that  monster!" 
she  gasped. 

But  the  king  silenced  her.  She  was  a  lucky  girl,  he 
told  Laurel,  to  marry  the  great  and  powerful  and 
wealthy  Salue.    She  should  be  proud  to  marry  him. 

"But  I  don't  love  him!  I  de- 
spise him!"  Laurel  wept.  "Oh, 
Father — don't  force  me  to  marry 

this  horrible  brute!"  The  Silver  Knight 

"Silence,"  said  the  King  Margot 
sternly,   though  he  loved  his 
daughter.    "I  have  given  my 
word.    I  cannot  break  it.    You      Laurel's  father 
leave  in  a  few  days."  The  Old  Woman 

And  so,  in  a  few  days,  the 
unhappy  Princess,  accom- 
panied by  her  faithful  maid,      Ambassador  Baton 
Margot,  journeyed  through  the 

great  forest  on  her  way  to  Tulogia.  Ahead  of  them, 
in  another  carriage,  rode  the  Ambassador  Baton.  As 
they  rode  along  they  heard  someone  singing  a  lovely 
song. 

"This  is  the  third  time  we've  heard  it,"  Laurel  mused. 

"I  wonder  who  it  is,"  Margot  said. 

But  just  then  they  heard  another  sound.  It  was  a 
cry.    A  cry  for  help! 

Laurel  ordered  her  carriage  to  stop  and  she  and 
Margot  jumped  out  and  ran  toward  the  place  from 
which  the  call  had  seemed  to  come.  There,  leaning 
against  a  tree,  they  found  a  poor  old  woman. 

"Help,"  she  moaned  feebly,  "I  am  dying — of  hunger 
— and  thirst." 

Laurel  sent  Margot  for  some  of  their  provisions  and 
water,  and  together  they  helped  the  old  woman  to  eat 
and  drink. 

"Are  you   better  now?"   Laurel  asked  anxiously.

"Yes,    Princess   Laurel,    much   better,"    she  said. 
"You  know  my  name?"  Laurel  looked  surprised. 
"I  know  more  about  you  than  you  think,"  said  the 
strange  old  woman.    "You  are  in  trouble,  and  to  repay 
you  for  your  kindness  to  me,  I  will  help  you." 

Laurel  was  amazed.  How  could  this  old  woman 
know?    And  how  could  she  help  her? 

"I  can  help  you,"  the  old  woman  was  saying.  "Don't 
worry — all  will  be  well!  You  will  not  marry  the  Em- 
peror Salue!" 

Laurel  gasped,  as  she  went  on. 
"There  is  a  young  and  handsome  knight.  His  name 
is  Lochnivar.  He  will  rescue  you.  You  will  know  him 
by  his  beautiful  singing  voice."  She  drew  out  a  lovely 
comb  and  gave  it  to  Laurel.  "Should  you  ever  need 
help,  put  this  comb  in  your  hair  and  call  me.  And  I. 
will  come.    Farewell."    And  she  disappeared. 

Thoughtfully  Laurel  got  into 
the  carriage  with  Margot.  "A 
beautiful  sinf/i»(/  voice  .  .  .' 
Could  it  be  the  one  she  had 
heard  as  she  journeyed  through 
the  forest?  And  hope  warmed 
her  sad  heart. 

But  in  the  castle  at  Tulogia 
she  grew  sad  again.  The  Em- 
peror Salue  was  so  dreadful! 
She  could  not  bear  him!  Every 
lime  he  looked  at  her  she  shud- 
dered and  trembled. 
"I  am  tired  of  your  evasions,"  he  said  one  day. 
"Tomorrow  we  wed — or  you  die!" 

Laurel  paled.  "I  was  brought  here  against  my  will! 
I  never  wanted  to  marry  youf"  she  cried. 

But  the  Emperor  dismissed  her  and  sent  for  heralds 
to  proclaim  his  marriage  to  the  Princess.    And  while 
poor  Laurel  wept  with  despair,  plans  were  made  for  a 
great  fete  in  honor  of  their  wedding. 
And  so  the  day  came. 

Laurel  sat  in  the  royal  box,  watching  a  mock  battle 
between  the  Black  Legion  and  the  Dragon  Horsemen. 
A  knight  in  silver  mail  was  fighting  valiantly.  Her 
eyes,  following  the  movements  of  the  silver  knight, 
grew  startled.  He  had  withdrawn  from  the  battle  now, 
and  was  riding  straight  toward  the  royal  box! 

And,  before  amazed  onlookers  could  stir  to  action, 
he  swung  a  mailed  fist  at  the  Emperor.  Knocked  him 
down!    And  seizing  Princess  Laurel  in  his  arms,  he 


■  ■ 


KNIGHT 


swung  her  on  to  his  horse  and  rode  furiously  off! 

"A  thousand  ducats  reward!"  the  Emperor  Salue 
gasped.    "After  him,  men!" 

But  the  knight  and  the  Princess  were  far  away. 

"Tired,  Princess?"  the  knight  asked  as  they  rode. 

"A  little,"  she  confessed. 

"It's  not  safe  to  rest  yet."    And  they  galloped  on. 

"I  wish  I  knew  your  name,"  Laurel  said  presently. 

"I  am  Sir  Lochinvar.   I  am  called  the  'Siiver  Knight'." 

Lochinvar!  Laurel's  eyes  shone. 

And  Lochinvar  explained:  "I've  long  admired  you, 
Your  Highness.  In  fact,  a  year  ago — I  fell  in  love  with 
you.  I  followed  you  to  Tulogia.  I  have  guarded  you, 
waited  to  rescue  you — to  tell  you  of  my  love." 

"Oh!"  Laurel  flushed.  "You — love  me?  A  stranger?" 

"I'm  not  a  stranger,"  the  knight  insisted  gently.  "I've 
loved  you  for  over  a  year.  Oh,  Princess,  look  into  my 
eyes — do  you  love  me?" 

"I  do— love  you,"  Laurel  confessed  happily. 

"Then  you  will  marry  me?" 

"Yes.  ...  I  fell  in  love  with  you  the  first  time  I  heard 
your  voice — singing  in  the  wood,"  Laurel  told  him. 

But  just  then  they  saw  the  Emperor's  guard  riding 
toward  them.  Quickly  Lochinvar  hid  Laurel  behind 
some  bushes,  and  turned  to  draw  his  sword. 

Behind  the  bushes  Laurel  prayed  fervently  for  Loch- 
invar's  safety.  Suddenly  she  thought  of  the  old 
woman's  comb.  Putting  it  into  her  hair,  she  cried: 
"Old  Lady  of  the  Forest,  come  to  me — quickly!" 

"I  was  wondering  when  you'd  send  for  me,  my  dear," 
said  a  voice  behind  her.  And  there  was  the  old  woman! 
"Oh,  do  something!"  Laurel  wept. 
The  old  woman  smiled.  "Calm  yourself!  Look!" 
And  as  Laurel  watched,  the  soldiers  disappeared. 
"Godmother!"  the  Silver  Knight  exclaimed,  riding  up. 
Laurel  looked  surprised. 

"I'm  his  godmother,  child,"  the  old  woman  said, 
smiling  fondly  at  the  tall,  handsome  knight.  "And  now 
I  must  go.  Don't  forget  to  ask  me  to  the  wedding! 
Farewell."    And  she  vanished. 

"We'd  better  go — it  might  not  be  safe  to  linger." 
Lochinvar  lifted  Laurel  again  to  the  saddle.  "Com- 
fortable?" he  asked. 

"Anywhere,  with  you,"  the  Princess  Laurel  said. 
"I  have  no  rich  kingdom  for  you,"  he  went  on,  "but 
we  have  youth  and  love — and  each  other." 

"Held  me  tight,"  Laurel  said.  "Always  hold  me — 
and  I'll  ride  to  the  ends  of  the  earth  with  you!''

GREETINGS  friends  and  Radio  Fans: 

The  historv  of  exploration  and  dis- 
covery is  full  of  stories  of  people  who  set 
out  to  find  one  thing  and  hit  upon  some- 
thing else  entirely  as  a  result  of  their  en- 
deavors. This  then  is  another  such  story 
— the  story  of  my  researches  into  the  true 
nature  of  Phoithboinders  and  the  astound- 
ing outcome  of  my  quest. 

Phoithboinders,  as  you  doubtless  know, 
are  the  invention  and  exclusive  property 
of  those  two  inimitable  zanies  of  the  air. 
Colonel  Stoopnagle  and  Budd.  I  have  al- 
ways been  intrigued  by  the  mellifluous 
cadence  of  that  beautiful  word  but  my  in- 
terest in  Phoithboindery  was  aroused  posi- 
tively to  fever  pitch  when  I  was  told  that 
Budd  and  the  Colonel  were  about  to  join 
Fred  Waring's  program.  Furthermore,  I 
was  informed  that  at  that  very  moment 
they  were  preparing  to  move  and  with 
some  diligent  research  of  my  part  I  might 
discover  the  boys  in  the  act  of  packing  their  folding  studio 
organ,  chopsticks  and  Phoithboinders ! 

But  what,  actually,  is  a  Phoithboinder  ?  Did  you  ever 
really  know?  No?  Well,  neither  did  I.  (For  that  matter 
did  you  ever  even  know  how  to  spell  it  before?) 

Maybe  you  can  eat  a  Phoithboinder,  I  thought  hope- 
fully— ever  on  the  alert  for  new  culinary  suggestions  to 
pass  on  to  you !   Perhaps  you  can  serve  Phoithboinders 
SO 


Htj  A/ancy  U/ood 


on  Toa^t !  Or  they  might  be  delicious 
with  Horseradish  Sauce — or  perfectly 
peachy  as  dessert !  Only  Colonel  Lemuel 
Q.  Stoopnagle  or  Budd,  however,  could 
give  me  the  desired  information  on  this 
interesting  subject.  So,  like  Columbus 
seeking  the  way  to  the  Indies,  I  set  out  to? 
find  these  two  crazy  comics  of  the  air 
waves. 

The  office  gave  me  a  photographer  for 
the  expedition,  the  Columbia  Broadcast-- 
ing  Company  supplied  charts,  directions 
and  data,  the  Yellow  Cab  Company  pro- 
vided transportation  and  we  were  off  into 
the  vast  unknown  ! 

Right  at  the  outset  I  think  I  should 
state  that  there  is  something  really  terrify- 
ing about  interviewing  comedians.  By 
reputation  all  comics  away  from  stage, 
screen  and  mike  are  serious  to  the  point 
of  grimness ;  possessing  all  the  cheery 
characteristics  of  a  sour  pickle.  Before  a 
broadcast  just  single  out  the  man  who  looks  as  though 
he  had  lost  his  last  dollar  on  the  races,  had  just  murdered 
the  guy  who  stole  his  best  gag  and  would  cheerfully  bite 
a  dog  and  you  will  have  picked  the  show's  comedian! 
Or  so  they  say — whoever  "they"  may  be.  And  so  fi 
firmly  believed  until  I  met  the  Colonel  and  Budd. 

It  was  Budd  himself  who  hospitably  opened  the  door 
of  the  Hulick  penthouse  apart-  (Continued  on  page  58)

W„*TCAN.0OTOCETR.0OrTHEM. 


■ 


/Yfrt?  «  a»  answer  that  sets  these  questions  at 
rest  It  explains  the  real  nature  of  this  com- 
mon difficulty,  and  the  approved  method  of 
combating  it. 

BLACKHEADS  are  not  "just  dirt"— 
i  that  is,  dirt  from  the  outside. 

Did  you  ever  press  a  blackhead  out? 
Behind  that  black  speck  on  the  surface 
came  a  little  plug  of  cheesy  matter.  That 
cheesy  matter  came  from  the  oil  glands 
inside  your  skin.  It  choked  and  clogged 
the  pore  opening  just  like  a  tiny  cork. 


Till  finally  outside  dirt  lodged  in  it  —  You 
had  a  blackhead! 

Proper  cleansing  will  remove  that  hlack- 
head.  Cleansing  and  stimulating  will  pre- 
vent new  blackheads. 

With  clean  finger  tips,  spread  Pond's 
Cold  Cream  liberally  over  your  face — 
pat  it  in  briskly  till  it  has  made  your  skin 
warm  and  supple.  Pond's  sinks  deep  into 
the  pores  and  softens  the  thickened  accu- 
mulations in  them.  \\  ipe  the  cream  and 
loosened  dirt  off.  Then,  with  a  clean  cloth, 
gently  press  the  blackhead  out. 


That  is  all!  Do  not  force  it.  Do  not  use 
your  bare  fingers.  A  stubborn  hlackhead 
is  better  left  alone.  Or,  it  may  yield  after 
hot  cloths  have  been  applied  to  the  face, 
to  relax  the  pores  further.  You  can  close 
the  pores  after  this  by  bathing  the  face 
with  cold  water. 

Now  this  rousing  Pond's  treatment 
does  more  than  clear  the  pores.  It  invig- 
orates the  underskin!  Stirs  the  circula-

Ben  was  surprised  at  his  own  daring.  An 
hour  before,  he  had  been  a  beaten  man; 
now  inspired  by  Paul  Whiteman,  he  stood 
trembling  before  a  prominent  man,  asking 
for  work  for  an  orchestra  that  didn't  exist. 
Ben  doesn't  even  remember  that  man's 
name  today.  He  knows  it  was  Colonel 
Something-or-other,  but  that's  all — and 
he'd  like  to  find  him  now,  to  thank  him 
properly  for  giving  him  a  new  lease  on 
life. 

The  Colonel  must  have  liked  the  way 
Ben  held  up  his  chin,  must  have  overlooked 
the  shabbiness  of  the  bantam  Kreisler's 
clothes,  because  he  didn't  call  a  strong  arm 
squad  to  throw  him  out.  Perhaps  it  was 
the  fast  and  furious  way  Ben  talked,  or  the 
sincerity  and  desperation  in  his  voice  that 
compelled  him  to  listen.  Whatever  it  was, 
the  Colonel  promised  that  if  the  Maestro 
wished,  he  might  bring  his  orchestra  to 
the  hotel  two  months  before  its  opening,  for 
an  audition.  Even  he  could  not  tell  just 
when  that  would  be — but  Ben  could  watch 
the  papers. 

Here  was  his  chance.  Everything  he 
had  ever  dreamed  of  lay  at  last  within  his 
reach. 

"You've  probably  had  the  impulse  your- 
self," Ben  told  me  today,  "to  step  out 
from  your  home  or  office  and  borrow 
every  cent  you  could,  just  so  you  might 
bet  it  on  the  horses  or  play  the  market. 
You're  always  sure,  when  you  get  a  hunch 
like  that,  that  after  one  good  fling  you'd 
be  a  millionaire.  Most  of  us  think  a  lot 
about  it.    Well,  a  few  of  us  do  it!" 

And  Ben  played  his  hunch  for  all  it 
was  worth.  He  haunted  the  Musician's 
Union,  trying  to  find  a  pianist  or  drummer 
who  would  gamble  with  him.  He  hung 
around  the  theatres,  hoping  some  fiddler 
would  be  looking  around  for  just  such  a 
job  as  he  had  to  offer.  But  no  one  seemed 
impressed.  They  weren't  even  interested 
in  his  new  idea.  One  day  some  one  told 
him  jokingly  about  a  group  of  musicians 
who  were  stranded  in  a  little  town  in 
Pennsylvania. 

These  were  hectic  days  for  Ben.  An 
idea,  a  suggestion  was  enough  to  send 
him  anywhere  on  a  wild  goose  chase.  So 
he  went  out  in  search  of  these  vagrant 
minstrels.  Several  of  them  were  in  a 
rooming-house,  asleep ;  some  were  in  a 
local  poolroom  "setting  them  up"  for  any- 
one who  had  a  nickel.  And  all  of  their 
instruments  were  in  hock! 

When  he  finally  herded  them  together 
in  the  musty  parlor  of  the  boarding-house, 
Ben  enthusiastically  told  them  his  propo- 
sition. He  knew  where  he  could  borrow 
enough  money  to  get  their  saxophones  and 
fiddles  out  of  pawn.  But  if  he  did  that, 
would  they  be  willing  to  stick  it  out  with 
him  if  things  got  tough?  Or  would  they 
balk  at  rehearsing  for  long  hours?  He 
explained  that  this  was  the  most  important 
point  in  his  career — perhaps  the  fulfill- 
ment of  his  dreams — and  theirs. 

Finally  Al  Gering,  the  piano  player  of 
the  outfit  and  the  only  one  who  hadn't 
traded  his  baby  grand  for  a  little  pink  ticket 
at  Uncle  Moe's,  settled  the  question  for 


the  gang.  "We'll  gamble  with  you,"  he 
said  calmly. 

Jubilantly  Ben  rushed  back  to  New 
York.  In  Paul  Whiteman's  office,  as  he 
sat  waiting  his  turn  to  sec  his  friend,  he 
looked  around  at  the  anxious  faces  of 
the  other  people  waiting.  They  were  bet- 
ter dressed  than  he,  but  all  were  there  for 
the  same  purpose — to  ask  some  favor  of 
Paul  Whiteman.  Some  day,  he  thought, 
these  same  song  pluggers  might  be  sitting 
in  his  outer  office. 

But  that  did  not  lessen  the  ominous  sink- 
ing feeling  inside  his  vest  now.  He,  of 
all  these  people,  was  probably  the  only  one 
who  had  come  to  borrow  money.  He  re- 
alized, too,  that  he  had  nothing  more  than 
an  idea  to  sell  the  King  of  Jazz.  It  hurt 
his  pride  to  be  asking  Paul  for  help  again 
— but  his  last  hope  of  success  hung  in  the 
balance,  outweighing  even  pride. 

In  a  few  hours  he  was  on  his  way  back 
to  Pennsylvania,  his  pockets  comfortably 
filled  with  borrowed  dollars.  Al  Gering, 
Mickey  Garloch  (who  is  to  this  day  Ben's 
assistant  conductor)  and  Leonard  Kavash 
were  at  the  station  when  his  rain-swept 
train  pulled  in.  The  other  fellows  had 
stayed  at  the  rooming-house  because  the 
soles  of  their  shoes  were  too  thin  to  go 
out  on  such  a  wet  day. 

Ben  got  all  their  instruments  out  of 
hock  that  night.  He  bought  them  shoes; 
he  stocked  the  cupboard  with  food  when 
Kavash  revealed  that  they  had  cooking 
privileges.  He  had  no  time  to  think  about 
hiring  a  practice  hall,  and  when  they 
thought  about  rehearsing  it  was  almost 
midnight  and  his  nerves  had  nearly  reached 
the  breaking  point. 

The  rest  of  the  house  was  silent  as  they 
descended  the  carpeted  stairs  and  grouped 
themselves  about  the  battered  old  upright 
piano.  But  Ben  didn't  care  how  many 
people  he  awakened ;  he  was  determined  not 
to  wait  another  day  to  test  his  new-found 
gold  mine.  He  held  his  breath  as  he 
raised  a  thin  piece  of  curtain  rod  in  place 
of  a  baton. 

But  he  needn't  have  worried.  Those 
boys  played  that  night  as  they  had  never 
played  before.  Roomers,  awakened  by 
the  racket,  started  down  the  halls  to  com- 
plain, and  ended  by  staying  in  the  parlor 
applauding  for  more.  Ben  watched,  thrilled 
by  their  reception  of  his  boys'  music;  he 
could  hardly  believe  that  he  was,  at  last, 
a  real  maestro !  After  two  hours,  during 
which  he  put  the  boys  through  everything 
they  knew,  he  knew  it  wasn't  all  a  dream. 
These  boys  were  good! 

For  months  they  rehearsed  in  an  at- 
mosphere of  feverish  excitement  and  ex- 
pectation. Night  after  night  Al  Gering, 
still  chief  arranger  of  the  Bernie  band, 
sat  up  with  Ben  going  over  arrangements 
until  they  were  perfect.  When  they  finished, 
they  might  snatch  a  cold  morsel  from  the 
ice  box — if  not,  it  only  meant  another  meal 
postponed  on  account  of  rehearsal. 

Finally,  almost  broke  but  hopeful,  they 
arrived  in  New  York.  It  would  be  months, 
they  discovered,  before  the  Hotel  Roose- 
velt would  open.    This  was  all  right  for 


Ben  ;  his  family  lived  in  New  York  so  he 
could  eat  and  sleep  at  home.  But  he 
couldn't  take  his  band  home  with  him. 

"After  all,"  he  chuckled  today,  "there 
were  eleven  kids  already  at  the  table.  And 
what  that  crowd  of  musicians  could  do  to 
a  pot  of  borscht  after  rehearsing  all  day 
was  nothing  human.  So  I  stayed  in  town 
with  the  gang.  I  knew  we  could  get  enough 
to  do  to  tide  us  over." 

They  began  auditioning  anywhere  and 
everywhere — it  didn't  matter  much  who 
hired  them,  just  as  long  as  there  was 
something  in  the  ice-box.  They  would  all 
be  in  clover  when  that  hotel  opened.  More 
often  than  not  there  was  only  bread  in 
the  house ;  a  few  "coffee-and-cake"  dates 
around  town  netted  them  nothing  and  only 
keyed  their  appetite  for  juicy  spare-ribs. 
And  much  as  they  all  loved  music,  none  of 
them  could  get  much  nourishment  out  of 
their  own  rendition  of  "Japanese  Sand- 
man." 

On  one  of  these  auditions  a  strange  old 
man  sat  down  to  listen.  He  happened  to 
drop  in  at  the  restaurant  in  which  Ben 
Bernie  and  his  lads  had  hoped  to  find 
work.  The  cafe  had  no  place  for  the  Old 
Maestro,  but  the  little  old  man  had.  Ben 
stood  dazed,  uncomprehending,  as  Marcus 
Loew  offered  the  orchestra  an  engagement 
on  his  vaudeville  circuit.  It  wasn't  much 
of  an  offer  as  old  time  vaudeville  salaries 
go,  but  it  saved  Ben  Bernie's  band.  It 
meant  that  now  they  could  at  least  hold 
out  until  the  Roosevelt  opened. 

They  had  played  only  a  few  weeks  on 
the  Loew  circuit  when  Ben  got  word, 
through  grapevine  channels,  that  other  and 
better  known  orchestras  were  trying  out 
for  his  job  at  the  new  hotel.  What  could 
he  do  about  it,  he  wondered?  If  they  quit 
working  now,  they  couldn't  live  until  the 
hotel  opened.  If  they  didn't  quit,  the  hotel 
job  might  be  lost  to  them. 

It  was  no  easy  thing  to  tell  the  boys  this 
disheartening  news  when  they  had  worked 
so  hard,  and  especially  when  they  had 
placed  all  their  trust  in  him.  Ben  was  al- 
ready in  debt  because  of  this  problematical 
job.    What  should  be  do? 

Well,  he  quit  vaudeville  and  went  back- 
to  New  York  to  fight  it  out.  And  he  never 
had  to  fight  for  anything  so  hard  in  his 
life.  Several  orchestra  leaders,  he  learned, 
had  already  bought  stock  in  the  Roosevelt 
Hotel  Corporation,  to  insure  their  getting 
in  on  the  ground  floor  with  their  bands. 
Frankly,  coldly,  Ben  was  informed  that 
he'd  have  to  out-buy  the  top  man. 

Fifteen  thousand  dollars  was  all  he 
needed  now.  Fifteen  thousand  dollars,  he 
repeated  to  himself  ironically.  And  he 
had  to  have  it  in  three  months,  because  at 
the  end  of  that  time  the  decision  would 
be  made.  Ben  never  had  seen  that  much 
money,  never  even  dreamed  of  holding  such 
a  sum  long  enough  to  transfer  it  to  some 
one  else. 

"But  I  knew  that  job  was  worth  it.  So 
I  became  a  gambler.  I  speculated  with  my 
reputation  and  the  money  of  other  people, 
just  to  get  it.  I  knew  that,  if  I  lost,  the 
savings  of  my  family  and  my  friends,  and

So  successful  was  the  performance  of  Leslie  Ruth  Howard  and  her  famous  father,  Leslie  Howard,  in  "Dear  Brutus" 
on  the  Vallee  Variety  program  that  Rudy  returned  this  same  guest  star  act  to  his  program  on  Thursday,  June  27th. 
But  Leslie  Ruth  declares  she  does  not  plan  to  be  an  actress.    She  would  prefer  to  be  a  "lady  vet",  she  thinks. 


their  respect  for  me,  would  be  gone.  But  I 
did  it  just  the  same. 

"I  went  out  and  borrowed  every  cent  I 
could  to  buy  that  stock.  Sophie  Tucker, 
Lou  Holtz,  Paul  Whiteman,  my  uncles  and 
aunts  and  cousins — all  of  them  kicked  in. 
Everyone  I  ever  had  met  in  vaudeville,  I 
tackled  for  some  dough.  The  job  at  the 
Roosevelt  was  my  horse  in  that  race— and 
it  was  a  long  shot.  But  I  played  it  just 
the  same — on  the  nose." 

No  one  failed  him.  Everyone  had  grown 
to  love  the  ambitious  little  fiddler,  and 
everyone  admired  his  courage.  Those  in 
the  big  money,  like  Sophie  Tucker  and  Al 
Jolson,  loaned  thousands.  His  family  knew 
that  he  never  had  given  a  thought  to  any- 
thing except  a  musical  career.  As  young 
Bennie  Ancelowitz,  he  never  had  wanted 
to  become  a  doctor  or  lawyer,  as  most 
Jewish  boys  do ;  he  wanted  only  to  be  a 
violinist.  So  now  all  the  family's  penny 
banks  and  old  cream  pitchers,  hidden  away 
for  years  with  their  small  hoards,  were 
poured  out  to  help  him. 

He  rushed  from  one  friend  to  another, 
from  his  father's  relatives  to  his  mother's 
family.  But  as  the  last  day  drew  near, 
he  realized  that  he  still  lacked  five  thou- 
sand dollars  !  He'd  never  be  able  to  make 
it !  Bewildered  and  disappointed,  he  told 
the  orchestra  that  they  could  go  out  and 
hock  their  instruments  again  if  they  wanted 
to.  He  was  through,  no  longer  worthy 
of  their  trust.  Then  he  went  out  to  re- 
turn the  money  he  had  borrowed.  The 
last  vain  hope  to  which  he  had  clung  dur- 
ing all  these  hard  months  was  gone. 

In  Lou  Holtz'  dressing-room  he  told  his 
sad  story.  But  his  friend  would  not  let 
him  down  now.    He  pressed  the  money  he 


had  loaned  back  into  Ben's  hand  and  told 
him  to  wait  in  the  wings  till  he  finished  his 
act.  There  was  one  man  left,  Lou  said, 
who  still  might  save  the  day.  They  would 
hurry  to  him,  right  after  the  show.  The 
man  was  a  gambler,  too.  Perhaps  the  big- 
gest gambler  in  New  York. 

Ben  was  still  confused  when,  two  hours 
later,  he  sat  in  the  pretentious  office  of  the 
small,  sandy-haired  man  who  Lou  Holtz 
had  said  might  help  him. 

"Arnold,  this  is  Ben  Bernie."  That's  all 
the  introduction  there  was  before  Lou  went 
into  the  championship  oration  which  he 
hoped  would  net  five  grand  for  Bernie  and 
his  dark  horse  hope.  When  Lou  had  fin- 
ished talking,  Arnold  Rothstein  asked  a 
few  questions. 

"How  soon  will  you  be  able  to  pay  it 
back?"  was  one  of  them. 

"I'll  give  you  five  hundred  dollars  on 
the  first  of  every  month,"  Ben  promised 
eagerly. 

"You  better  had.  .  .  .  Here's  the  dough." 

That's  all  there  was  to  it.  No  contracts 
signed,  to  be  sure,  but  just  the  same  it  was 
a  cold,  hard  business  proposition.  Ben 
Bernie  had  his  fifteen  thousand  dollars  now 
— and  Arnold  Rothstein  had  Ben's  prom- 
ise. The  greatest  gambler  in  New  York, 
perhaps  in  the  world,  had  gambled  on  the 
new  maestro. 

But  Ben's  troubles  were  not  yet  over. 
The  shrewd  manager  of  the  glittering  ho- 
tel had  more  time  in  his  office  than  the 
pompous  Colonel  had  had  at  the  ground- 
breaking ceremonies — more  time  to  inves- 
tigate this  Ben  Bernie.  The  long  list  of 
imaginary  engagements  were  confessed  to 
be  the  product  of  an  eager  young  man's 
imagination.    Still — Ben  had  the  stock  in 


his  pocket.    That  was  his  biggest  selling 

point. 

And  it  worked  like  a  charm.  The  man- 
ager could  do  little  except  hire  Ben  and 
his  lads — on  trial  and  without  contract, 
for  six  months. 

They  opened  in  the  Roosevelt  Grill  and 
there  they  stayed  for  five  brilliantly  suc- 
cessful years.  Long  before  Arnold  Roth- 
stein was  murdered  in  the  gang  war,  he 
had  received  the  last  installment  of  Ben's 
debt  to  him.  He  had  even  lived  to  listen, 
as  Ben's  guest,  to  the  orchestra  he  had 
backed  sight  unseen  and  rhythm  unheard — ■ 
and  to  sell  Ben  a  big  insurance  policy ! 

Ben  Bernie's  band  might  still  be  pack- 
ing 'em  in  at  the  Grill  except  for  the  sen- 
sation they  created.  For  London  heard 
about  them  and  made  tempting  offers,  and 
soon  all  the  king's  men  and  their  ladies 
were  dancing  to  their  music  at  the  famous 
Kit-Kat  Club.  Not  to  mention  the  Prince 
of  Wales. 

When  the  Blue  Ribbon  Company  plan- 
ned production  for  their  most  pretentious 
radio  campai"1!!,  not  many  ballots  were 
taken  before  a  decision  was  made. 

Yowzah,  it  was  the  Old  Maestro  or  no 
one  for  them!  This  time  Ben  didn't  have 
to  beg  or  borrow  his  way  in ;  in  fact,  NBC 
officials  had  to  talk  him  into  going  on 
the  air. 

"Success  is  always  a  gamble,"  Ben 
Bernie  says  today.  "A  few  of  us  are 
lucky  in  playing  the  right  horse.  Some- 
times we  get  a  hunch  and  don't  play  it — > 
that's  when  we  aren't  even  starters  in  the 
race  of  life.  That's  why,  if  I  get  a  hunch, 
it  always  means  ten  bucks  on  the  nose  to 
buy  my  gelding  oats."

(Continued  from  page  50) 


tnent  (-Budd's  name  really  is  Wilbur  Hu- 
lick,  you  know)  while  the  Colonel  (known 
to  his  broker  as  Frederick  Chase  Taylor, 
no  less)  came  forward  with  a  broad  grin 
lighting  up  a  face  that  was  just  made  for 
smiling  and  for  making  others  smile. 

The  situation  looked  promising.  It  ap- 
peared that  the  secret  of  the  essential  char- 
acteristics of  Phoithboinders  was  within 
my  grasp.  It  might  be  around  the  next 
corner,  out  of  sight  but  not  out  of  reach. 
It  might  be  in  the  very  room  to  which  "the 
boys"  were  directing  my  exploring  foot- 
steps ! 

Well,  let  me  set  your  mind  at  rest  right 
now — it  wasn't  there !  But  Dawn,  Budd 
Hulick's  darling  little  girl  was  there!  And 
without  shame  I  confess  that  from  that 
moment  I  forgot  the  purpose  of  my  visit 
— dropped  the  question  of  Phoithboinders 
cheerfully  over  the  rail  of  the  penthouse 
terrace  and  concentrated  my  attention  al- 
most exclusively  upon  the  little  brown- 
eyed,  brown-haired  darling  you  see  pic- 
tured with  her  adoring  daddy,  Budd,  and 
her  devoted  slave  and  court  jester,  "Uncle 
Stoopnagle."  Yes,  I  must  announce  that 
though  the  Colonel  and  Budd  richly  de- 
serve their  featured  spot  as  stars  of  the 
Waring  broadcasts,  it  is  Dawn  who  is  the 
bright  particular  star  of  mine. 

Dawn,  aged  three  and  a  half  at  present 
writing,  was  christened  Ann  Louise  ac- 
cording to  early  records.  I  didn't  think  to 
ask  the  young  and  extremely  attractive 
Mrs.  "Budd"  Hulick  when  or  how  she  ac- 
quired the  nickname  of  "Dawn."  It  seemed 
a  perfect  name  for  anyone  so  lovely  and 
I  for  one  hope  she  never  changes  it  again. 
Actually  I  couldn't  imagine  changing  any- 
thing about  Budd's  baby  except  perhaps 
to  wish  she  were  twins  or  even  quin- 
tuplets so  that  there  could  be  more  of 
her! 

Just  one  Dawn,  however,  managed  to 
keep  us  all  entertained.  You  can  imagine, 
too,  my  joy  when  I  discovered  that  her 
daddy  and  mother  would  allow  her  to  ap- 
pear in  the  photographs  we  were  about 
to  take.  A  real  "scoop"  I  thought  it.  So, 
out  into  the  kitchen  we  all  went ! 

It  happens  to  be  a  very  complete  kitchen 
but  not  a  very  large  one.  You  can  im- 
agine, then,  that  it  was  a  trifle  crowded, 
what  with  Budd  and  his  pipe,  the  Colonel 
and  his  avoirdupois  (he  admits  to  weighing 
190  pounds )  the  photographer  and  his 
camera — plus  Mrs.  Hulick  in  a  crisp  cot- 
ton house  dress,  the  colored  maid  in  a 
state  of  near  collapse  and  your  Cooking 
School  correspondent  in  her  element !  The 
only  place  left  for  Dawn  therefore  was 
the  kitchen  table,  upon  which  she  was 
placed,  to  queen  it  over  us  all  while 
Budd  made  up  her  favorite  sandwich, 
(peanut  butter)  and  Stoopnagle  opened 
up  cans  and  bottles  to  illustrate  the  extra- 
special  Stoopnagle  and  Budd  After-Broad- 
cast-Snack. 

After  the  pictures  were  taken  and  the 
snack  partaken,  Dawn  went  out  on  the 
terrace  with  her  comical  daddy  and  uncle 
where  loud  shouts  advertised  the  fact 
that  a  merry  game  of  ball  was  in  progress. 


But  Mrs.  Hulick  kindly  consented  to  give 
a  few  minutes  to  a  serious  discussion  along 
culinary  lines.  After  all,  though  I  had 
forgotten  one  of  my  missions  I  could  not 
think  of  leaving  before  learning  about 
the  sort  of  foods  that  help  keep  the  Col- 
onel and  Budd  in  a  happy  state  of  mind. 

Wanda  Hulick  was  most  helpful  in  tell- 
ing me  about  Budd's  food  preferences  and 
one  or  two  trips  to  the  terrace  helped  fill 
in  the  missing  details. 

"What  do  you  like  to  eat?"  I  asked  the 
Colonel  on  one  of  my  visits  to  the  terrace 
playground. 

"I  like  to  eat.  .  .  ."  said  the  Colonel. 

"What?"  I  continued.  "Anything  in 
particular?" 

"Yes,"  said  the  Colonel  helpfully,  "any- 
thing in  particular!" 

Then,  with  a  bright  smile  he  added. 
"Eggs  I  Any  kind  of  eggs.  But  get 
Budd's  wife  to  tell  you  the  kind  she  in- 
vented for  lunch  the  other  day.  They  were 
fine,  weren't  they  Budd  ?" 

"Simply  peachy,"  admitted  Budd,  "but 
I  like  chocolate  better." 

I  had  already  been  told  about  Budd's  lik- 
ing for  chocolate  by  his  wife.  It  seems 
that  Dawn  has  inherited  this  preference  or 
acquired  it  through  constant  association 
with  chocolate  pudding  and  chocolate  cakes. 
That  quite  simplifies  the  problem  of 
sweets  in  the  Hulick  household.  For  in- 
stance, a  "Chocolate  Sponge,"  a  dessert 
which  has  been  given  the  name  of  Sponge 
because  of  its  soft,  smooth,  spongy  con- 
sistency. A  small  mold  of  this  dessert  is 
made  up  and  served  to  Dawn  with  milk 
poured  over  it.  A  larger  mold  for  the 
grown-ups  is  garnished  with  sweetened 
whipped  cream  and  chocolate  sprinkles. 
You'll  find  the  recipe  at  the  end  of  this 
article. 

The  most  favored  of  all  Budd's  choco- 
late-flavored desserts,  however,  is  "Devil's 
Food  Cake,"  the  kind  pictured  at  the  be- 
ginning of  this  article.  Of  course  all  you 
can  see  of  the  cake  in  the  picture  is  the 
thick,  smooth,  marshmallow  icing.  But 
you  have  my  word  for  it  that  the  cake 
lives  up  to  the  promise  given  by  its  tempt- 
ing white  crown.  I'm  telling  you — and  I 
know — for  I  took  Mrs.  Hulick's  favorite 
Devil's  Food  Cake  recipe  home  with  me 
and  tried  it  out.  No  wonder  Budd  asks 
for  it  often  and  Dawn  licks  each  last  little 
crumb  from  her  chubby  little  fingers.  You 
really  must  try  it  and  prove  to  yourself 
that  none  of  us  is  exaggerating. 

And  of  course,  by  now,  you  know  that 
all  you  have  to  do,  ever,  to  get  your  copy 
of  the  favorite  recipes  of  your  favorite 
radio  stars  i§  to  fill  in  the  coupon  accom- 
panying each  Cooking  School  article.  You 
then  mail  this  coupon,  promptly,  to  us, 
and  we  in  turn  mail  the  Cooking  School 
leaflet  to  you — without  cost — yes,  it  is  not 
even  necessary  to  enclose  a  stamped  en- 
velope. 

This  month,  for  example,  you  will  re- 
ceive (in  return  for  just  a  little  effort)  a 
recipe  for  the  Devil's  Food  Cake,  together 
with  detailed  instructions  for  making  the 
sort  of  delicious   Marshmallow  Frosting

without  which  no  such  cake  is  complete. 
Besides  those  two  recipes,  you  will  find 
that  the  leaflet  contains  two  others  that  are 
sure  to  be  just  as  welcome.  The  one 
is  the  "Stoopnagle-and-Budd-After-Broad- 
cast-Snack."  Yes,  that's  a  long  name  for 
what  turns  out  to  be  an  extremely  easy- 
to-make  (meal-in-one)  sandwich.  But 
what  can  you  expect,  after  all.  from  two 
fellows  who  invented  Phoithboinders ! 

The  fourth  recipe  card  contains  the  egg 
dish  so  highly  praised  by  the  Colonel.  I 
have  named  it,  myself,  in  his  honor,  "Eggs 
Stoopnagle."  I'm  not  fooling,  either,  when 
I  assure  you  that  I've  never  eaten  any  egg 
combination  that  I  liked  better.  All  I'll  tell 
you  in  advance  is  that  the  method  of  cook- 
ing these  eggs  is  original,  tasty  and  easy. 

And  just  imagine! — this  recipe  and  the 
three  others  are  yours  for  the  asking  .  .  . 
four  dinner-table  Aristocrats,  favorite 
foods  of  the  "Stoopnocrats,"  to  make  you 
feel  like  Plutocrats. 

Yes,  taken  all  in  all,  I  thought  the 
Stoopnagle  and  Budd  interview  a  great 
success.  For,  though  I  didn't  find  out  how 
to  make  Phoithboinders,  I  did  meet  those 
two  amusing  fellows  and  secured  recipes 
for  their  favorite  dishes.  And  of  course 
I  had  the  joy  of  finding  out  about  Dawn ! 

One  last  word,  before  I  leave  you  .  .  .

MY  HUSBAND'S 
GONE  BACK 


ON  ME 


AND   SO   DO   I  -THE   SAUCE   IS  GRAND! 


I thought  I  cooked  pretty  good 
spaghetti  —  at  least  my  husband 
often  told  me  so.  But  I  cheerfully 
admit  that  Franco- American  chefs 
can  do  it  better.  When  we  tasted 
theirs  with  its  perfectly  marvelous 
sauce.  I  decided  then  and  there 
I'd  never  bother  with  home- 
cooked  spaghetti  again.  Franco- 
American  saves  me  time  and  trouble 
— costs  less,  too!  And  it's 
the  best  spaghetti  I  ever 
ate.  You'll  say  so,  too!'' 
Skilled  chets  prepare  it, 
using  eleven  different  in- 
gredients in  the  sauce.  Big. 
luscious  tomatoes.  Prime 
Cheddar  cheese.  Spices 


and  seasonings  that  give  delicate 
piquancy  .  .  .  subtle  appetite  allure. 
No  wonder  women  everywhere  de- 
clare that  even  their  own  delicious 
home-cooked  spaghetti  or  macaroni 
can't  compare  with  the  zesrful.  ap- 
pealing taste  of  Franco-American. 

All  the  work  has  been  done; 
you  simply  heat,  serve  and  enjoy. 
A  can  holding  three  to  four  por- 
tions never  costs  more 
than  ten  cents  —  actually 
less  than  buying  dry  spa- 
ghetti and  ingredients 
tor  the  sauce  and  prepar- 
ing it  yourself.  Ask  your 
grocer  for  Franco-Ameri- 
can Spaghetti  today.

are  swamped  in  applications  for  auditions 
and  while  the  search  for  talent  never  ends, 
a  clipping  from  the  hometown  paper  and 
a  certificate  showing  that  the  bearer  won 
first  prize  in  the  county  amateur  radio  au- 
ditions isn't  enough  to  get  much  attention 
in  the  important  studios.  Therefore,  look 
out  for  anyone  who  seems  too  interested. 
The  persons  who  arrange  auditions  are 
very  busy.  Even  if  you  get  to  see  them, 
you  can't  expect  more  than  a  five-minute 
interview.  If  the  person  you  talk  to  seems 
to  have  a  lot  of  time  for  conversation,  it's 
a  good  sign  that  he  is  either  a  very  unim- 
portant person  or  he  has  intentions  that 
have  little  to  do  with  a  radio  career. 

Regard  all  advertisements  seeking  radio 
talent  with  suspicion.  Some  of  them  may 
be  legitimate  but  there  is  so  much  talent 
available  in  Manhattan  that  it  would 
be  the  height  of  foolishness  to  advertise 
for  it. 

Stay  away  from  schools  of  microphone 
technique  unless  such  a  school  has  the 
official  and  unquestionable  stamp  of  ap- 
proval of  organizations  as  reputable  as 
National  or  Columbia. 

Keep  an  eye  on  casting  directors  who 
get  rather  personal  in  their  interviews. 
These  gentlemen  are  probably  harmless  if 
kept  in  their  places  but  they  work  on  the 
theory'  that  one  thing  leads  to  another. 
Casting  directors  don't  have  to  take  pros- 
pective performers  to  lunch  or  dinner  to 
find  out  whether  or  not  they  have  ability. 
If  they  suggest  luncheon  or  dinner,  you 
can  be  sure  they  are  more  interested  in 
you  than  in  your  career. 

Don't  sign  anything  without  studying 
it  carefully  and  if  the  document  involves 


commissions  or  any  payments  of  money, 
it  is  safest  to  have  a  reputable  lawyer  ex- 
amine it  for  you. 

Look  out  for  anyone  who  tells  you  that 
the  place  to  meet  the  right  people  is  at 
a  party  and  that  if  you're  nice  to  Mr. 
Q.  Amos  Tilliver,  you'll  probably  get  on 
the  program  Mr.  Tilliver  is  planning.  If 
Mr.  Tilliver  is  planning  a  program,  he  isn't 
going  to  give  that  important  part  to  a 
girl  who  looked  good  after  the  fifth  Man- 
hattan. Big  business  men,  contrary  to 
popular  belief,  just  don't  operate  that 
way. 

Regard  with  extreme  suspicion  the  lads 
who,  on  the  briefest  acquaintance,  promise 
to  introduce  you  to  the  presidents  of  both 
networks  and  the  heads  of  all  the  big  ad- 
vertising agencies.  You  can  safely  be 
suspicious  of  anyone  who  promises  an  easy 
pathway  to  fame.    There  isn't  one. 

Remember  at  all  times  that  radio  is  a 
business  and  that  business-like  methods 
are  more  likely  to  succeed  than  any  others. 
Remember,  too,  that  even  though  you  may 
meet  a  well-known  singer  or  a  well-known 
announcer,  he  can't  get  you  a  job  on  the 
air.  He  might  be  able  to  introduce  you 
to  someone  who  might  help — but  even  the 
stars  have  very  little  to  say  about  the  peo- 
ple who  are  selected  to  support  them  on 
the  air.  The  casting  of  a  radio  program  is 
a  serious  business  and  all  friendship  usually 
is  forgotten  when  the  business  of  picking 
talent  is  taken  up. 

Whom  can  you  believe?  Whom  can 
you  trust?  Trust  in  God,  in  yourself  and 
in  a  priceless  but  fairly  uncommon  virtue 
known  as  Common  Sense.

Rest  and  fresh  air,  Rose  Bernie 
explained  to  me,  are  the  essential 
features  of  the  milk  diet.  It  has 
been  found  that  a  milk  diet  is  effec- 
tive hot  only  for  reducing  and  build- 
ing up,  hut  is  a  helpful  factor  in 
eradicating  skin  eruptions  and  im- 
proving a  sallow  complexion ;  in  re- 
storing sleep  and  curing  insomnia ; 
and  in  rectifying  faulty  conditions 
caused  by  excessive  coffee  drinking 
or  smoking.  The  specially  prepared 
milk  served  at  the  Bernie  farm  con- 
tains certain  bacilli  friendly  to 
health.  It  is  pure  fresh  milk,  cul- 
tured with  a  hardy  strain  of  bacilli 
in  accordance  with  the  formula  of  a 
famous  European  physician. 

Of  course,  it  isn't  possible  for  all 
of  us  to  secure  specially  prepared 
milk,  or  to  have  the  de  luxe  solarium 
sun  baths,  Swedish  massages  and 
pine  needle  baths  that  are  available 
at  the  Bernie  Milk  and  Health  Farm. 
We  can't  all  get  away  for  several 
weeks  in  order  to  take  a  reducing  or 
building  up  treatment.  We  have  to 
combine  our  efforts  along  those  lines 
with  housekeeping  or  office  work,  or 
a  hundred  and  one  different  things. 
But  if  we  can't,  we'll  have  to  con- 
centrate on  milk  and  the  proper  diet. 

When  guests  of  the  farm  leave, 
they  are  given  a  diet  to  help  them 
keep  off  or  keep  up  the  weight  they 
have  lost  or  gained  while  there.  They 
are  generally  so  encouraged  by  the 
start  they  have  made  that  they  are 
anxious  to  keep  up  the  good  work. 
And  because  I  want  to  encourage 
you  to  a  good  start,  I  have  had  some 
more  copies  multigraphed  of  my 
eight-day  diet  for  reducing,  and  I 
have  mapped  out  a  program  for 
weight  gaining  as  well.  I  include 
milk  in  both. 

Of  course  we  know  that  milk  is  one 
of  the  most  important  items  in  the 
diet.  It  is  really  a  food.  They  would 
tell  you  at  the  Milk  Farm  that  milk 
should  be  sipped  slowly  because  the 
gastric  juices  of  the  stomach  cause 
milk  to  curdle  shortly  after  it  is 
swallowed,  hence  making  the  curds 
large  and  tough  if  the  milk  is  drunk 
rapidly.  Remember  these  two  things 
about  milk.  First,  don't  use  it  merely 
to  quench  thirst.  Second,  don't  drink- 
it  rapidly.  If  you  are  one  of  those 
persons  who  says  "Milk  doesn't  ever 
agree  with  me,"  perhaps  you'll 
change  your  mind. 

The  reason  milk  is  the  one  food 
on  which  (Continued  on  page  69) 


Miss  Faith  Corriftan,  brown-eyed  but  fair- 
skinned,  uses  Pond's  Rose  Cream  Powder, 
(below)  Mrs.  M.  Bon  de  Sousa,  medium  blonde 
hair  but  creamy  skin,  uses  Brunette. 

Consult  your  Skin,  not  your  Hair, 
Optical  Machine  Answers 

Brown  hair  and  eves  —  and  a  skin  as 
white  as  a  baby's.  Medium  blonde  hair — 
dark  brown  eyes  —  and  a  skin  with  a 
creamy  undertone. 

Brunette  and  blonde.  But  a  hrunette 
powder  would  dim  the  first  girl's  skin. 
And  a  blonde  powder  would  make  the 
second  girl's  look  chalky. 

The  first  thing  to  do  in  choos- 
ing a  powder  is  to  study  your  own  skin.  Is 
it  fair?  Or  dark?  Is  it  sallow?  Does  it 
need  brightening  up?  Or  toning  down? 

Whatever  it  is,  there  is  a  Pond's  pow- 
der shade  that  will  bring  to  it  just  what 
your  skin  lacks. 

With  an  optical  machine,  Pond's  ana- 
lyzed the  coloring  of  over  200  girls — every 
type.  They  found  the  secret  of  the  sparkle 
in  dazzlingly  blonde  skin  is  the  hint  ol 
bright  blue  in  it.  The  creamy  allure  in 
brunette  skin  is  due  to  a  touch  of  brilliant 
green  hidden  in  it. 

They  found  what  each  girl's  skin  needed 
to  give  it  life!  They  blended  these  colors 
invisibly  in  their  new  powder  shades. 


What  shade 

powder 
shall  I  use? 


Over  200  ftlrls'  skin  color-analyzed  — to  find  the 
hidden  beauty  tints  In  skin,  now  blended 
invisibly  in  Pond's  new  powder  shades. 

Send  for  these  shades  free  and  try  them 
before  your  own  mirror: — 
Natural  —  makes  blonde  skin  transparent. 
Rose  Cream  —  gives  radiance  to  fair  skin. 
Hrunette — clears  creamy  skins. 
Rose  Brunette— warms  dull  skin. 
Dark  Hrunette  (Sun-  1  an)  —  gives  a  lovely 
sunny  glow. 
Notice  how  smoothly  this  powder  goes 
on  —  never  cakes  or  shows  up — How  nat- 
ural it  looks  on.   And  it  stays  that  way 
for  hours!  Fresh — flattering!

friends  to  yachting  parties  in  which  they 
sailed  over  seas  blue  as  truth  as  they 
followed  the  sun.  They  gave  the  luxurious 
specifications  for  town  cars  which  were 
inlaid  with  rare  woods  out  of  the  jungle. 

Then  there  were  the  bills  Ethel  laid  on 
Caleb  Bragg's  desk  in  a  precise  little  pile 
every  morning.  For  shoes  at  forty  dollars 
a  pair.  Neckties  which  cost  what  she  paid 
for  her  dresses.  Orchids  with  centers  of 
royal  purple.  And  bills  from  Cartiers,  fa- 
mous for  their  sapphires  and  their  square 
emeralds,  which  were  enough  to  take  any- 
one's breath  away. 

There  was,  at  this  time,  a  famous  star 
who  called  on  the  telephone.  She  had 
come  into  her  prominence  as  a  singer.  And 
from  the  first  her  confident,  rushing  voice 
stimulated  Ethel's  imagination — to  such  an 
extent  that  she  bought  herself  a  balcony 
seat  in  the  theater  where  this  star  was 
playing.  And  one  Saturday  matinee  she 
listened  carefully,  critically  too. 

"And,"  Ethel  told  me,  "I  decided  then 
and  there  that  I  could  sing  as  well  as  she 
did.  Even  if  I  never  had  had  a  lesson. 
She  wasn't  a  great  singer.  There  was 
just  something  pleasant  and  catchy  about 
her  voice. 

"I  began  to  learn  the  new  songs.  And 
to  take  more  singing  engagements  in  the 
evening.  I  had  sense  enough  to  know 
that  the  more  experience  I  could  get  the 
better  equipped  I  would  be." 

Spurred  on  by  her  contact  with  the  fas- 
cinating world  of  wealth  and  the  theater, 
you  see,  Ethel  began  to  feel  it  was  pretty 
silly  for  her  to  sit  back  in  a  brown-shingled 
two-family  house  and  let  this  golden  parade 
pass  her  by.  Besides,  if  she  could  accom- 
plish her  end  through  her  singing  her  gain 
would  be  twofold.  For  she  adored  to  sing 
more  than  anything  else  in  the  world. 

And  the  future  the  gypsy  had  seen  in 
the  tea  leaves  began  to  shape  itself.  .  .  . 

You've  undoubtedly  heard  how  Caleb 
Bragg  gave  Ethel  a  letter  to  George  White 
of  Scandals  fame.  How  she  typed  this 
letter  herself  and  took  it  to  White's  office. 
How  he  doubted  her  ability  to  sing  but 
offered  her  a  job  as  a  show  girl.  And 
how  she  thanked  him  kindly  but  went  back 
to  her  typewriter. 

However,  in  the  evenings,  she  came  to 
sing  in  a  little  Russian  restaurant  in  the 
midtown  district,  near  all  the  theaters. 
She  wore  a  maize  chiffon  dress.  She 
brushed  her  dark  hair  back  from  her  white 
forehead  with  a  dramatic  sweep.  She 
touched  her  dark  eyes  slightly  with  mas- 
cara and  her  provocative  mouth  with 
bright  lipstick.  And  while  she  sang  she 
moved  in  and  out  among  the  little  tables. 
Her  songs  were  "Moanin-  Low,"  "I've  Got 
a  Feelin'  I'm  Faliin' "  and  "Singing  in 
the  Rain."    It  was  the  latter  part  of  1929. 

One  night  a  theatrical  manager  by  the 
name  of  Lou  Irwin  heard  her.  He  in- 
sisted she  meet  a  "Warner  Brothers'  exe- 
cutive who  was  arriving  in  New  York 
from  California  the  following  morning. 
Ethel  called  the  office  and  announced  that 
she  would  be  late.  She  went  with  Lou  Ir- 
win to  meet  this  motion  picture  mogul. 
And  three  days  later  she  was  under  con- 


tract at  two  hundred  dollars  a  week,  every 
week,  whether  she  worked  or  not.  Where- 
upon she  resigned  her  job. 

"The  trouble  was  that  I  didn't  work," 
Ethel  explained.  "My  check  arrived  every 
week.  But  that  wasn't  enough.  I  wasn't 
getting  anywhere.  So  I  had  Mr.  Irwin, 
who  was  my  manager  then  as  he  is  now, 
go  to  Warners'  and  get  their  permission 
for  me  to  take  other  engagements.  With 
the  understanding  that  they  wouldn't  be 
obliged  to  pay  me  while  I  was  engaged." 

She  sang  with  the  Paul  Ash  band  at 
the  Brooklyn  Paramount.  And  her  one- 
week  engagement  extended  to  seven  weeks. 
Then  she  played  the  Palace.  She  was  big 
time.  "Girl  Crazy,"  the  George  Gershwin 
hit.  came  next. 

On  the  opening  night  of  "Girl  Crazy," 
Caleb  Bragg  and  many  of  the  celebrities 
to  whom  she  had  written  letters  ovef  a 
period  of  years  were  in  her  audience.  They 
heard  her  sing  "I  Got  Rhythm" — which  is 
exactly  what  she  did  have  and  does  have. 
And  "Sam  and  Delilah."  And  they  stormed 
her  dressing-room  following  the  final  cur- 
tain to  tell  her  that  she  had  put  over  two 
song  hits  and  turned  herself  into  a  star. 

It  was  noon  the  next  day  when  George 
Gershwin,  who  had  been  calling  since  nine 
o'clock,  got  her  on  the  telephone. 

"Do  you  realize  what's  happened?"  he  de- 
manded. "You're  made,  Merman.  Made  ! 
You're  a  hit !  You're  a  sensation !  From 
now  on  you  can  write  your  own  ticket ! 
Broadway's  goofy  over  you !" 

Following  "Girl  Crazy,"  Ethel  played 
in  "Scandals."  George  White  had  changed 
his  mind  about  her  as  a  singer  now.  "Take 
a  Chance"  came  next.  With  her  number 
"Eadie  Was  a  Lady"  catching  on  like  wild- 
fire. 

Nights,  following  her  triumphs  in  the 
theater,  she  sang  for  the  supper  crowds  at 
the  smart  Central  Park  Casino.  And  in 
between  times  she  repaired  to  the  Para- 
mount Studios  in  Astoria  outside  of  which 
she  once  had  stood  to  watch  Alice  Brady 
arrive  and  depart  in  a  cream-colored  Pack- 
ard driven  by  a  Jap  chauffeur.  Now  Ethel 
belonged  inside  these  studios.  In  a  star 
dressing-room. 

"Hello.  Ethel,"  you  used  to  hear  a  stage- 
hand bellow  down  from  the  rafters.  Or 
"Hi,  Zimmy !"  might  come  from  a  young 
electrician.  For  many  of  the  boys  with 
whom  Ethel  had  gone  to  school  had  gone 
into  the  studios  in  various  capacities. 

Today  Ethel  is  an  important  figure  in 
that  gay,  amazing  world  she  used  to  touch 
only  through  the  letters  she  took  down  in 
her  red-ruled  notebook.  You  don't  find 
her  squandering  her  money  on  square  em- 
eralds and  sapphires  big  as  robins'  eggs  or 
driving  about  in  a  car  inlaid  with  woods 
imported  from  Africa.  She  lives  compar- 
atively simply  and  quietly  with  her  mother 
and  her  father  and  works,  works,  works. 

She  likes  to  work  for  one  thing.  And 
besides  she  has  learned  that  if  you  keep 
going  anything  can  await  you — just  around 
the  corner.  Just  around  the  corner  she 
has  found  fame.  She  has  found  wealth. 
What  awaits  her  next?  Love?

continue  to  admit  times  when  they  are 
sorely  puzzled. 

Question  three:  Is  it  true  that  his  politi- 
cal talks  ivcre  harming  the  Catholic 
Church ? 

1  have  heard  that  two  dangerous  things 
have  been  happening :  First,  the  clergy  and 
the  laity  were  splitting  on  Coughlin's  right 
to  disport  himself  in  the  same  ampitheatre 
with  such  undignified  performers  as  Huey 
Long.  Second,  important  and  wealthy 
members  of  the  Church,  whose  donations 
formerly  were  offered  regularly  and  lib- 
erally, now  refuse  to  support  a  Church 
which  tolerates  such  a  firebrand. 

You  must  know  that  many  a  solid  citi- 
zen considers  Coughlin  a  revolutionary  and 
a  menace  to  our  capitalistic  system.  I 
know  he  denies  this  with  all  his  might,  but 
the  point  is  that  certain  rich  men  reject  his 
denials  and  find  in  his  exortations  to  the 
poor  and  discontented  masses  enough 
sparks  to  set  off  a  national  calamity.  And 
they  shut  their  hitherto  open  pocketbooks. 

Certainly  men  of  fortune  cannot  be  ex- 
pected to  contribute  even  indirectly  to  a 
man  who  threatens  their  fortunes.  If 
church  contributions  have  diminished,  I 
wonder  if  it  is  Father  Coughlin  or  eco- 
nomic conditions  that  are  responsible? 

Question  four:  Instead  of  depriving  us 
of  Father  Coughlin  broadcasts  by  forbid- 
ding him  the  use  of  radio,  cannot  His  Holi- 
ness direct  him  to  continue  broadcasting 
this  fall — with  the  proviso  that  controver- 
sial and  political  arguments  be  replaced 
by  things  more  becoming  to  a  reprcsenta- 
th'e  of  the  Holy  Roman  Catholic  Church f 

Father  Coughlin  has  already  answered 
the  story  that  he  was  ordered  off  the  air. 
This  telegram  was  received  by  Martin  J. 
Porter  and  published  in  his  famous  New 
York  Journal  radio  column : 

"Report  of  my  going  off  air  cither  at 
command  or  suggestion  of  my  ecclesiastical 
superiors  is  absolutely  without  foundation. 
Moreover  the  remark  about  the  unlikeli- 
hood of  my  broadcasting  again  next  Octo- 
ber is  without  foundation.  If  my  present 
health  continues  I  shall  be  on  the  air  zvaz'cs 
next  October.  (Signed)  Rev.  Charles  E. 
Coughlin." 

I  for  one  hope  his  present  health  con- 
tinues many,  many  years  and  gives  him  the 
strength  to  broadcast  again  his  inspiring 
and  soul-stirring  messages.  I  hope,  too, 
that  you  may  see  fit  to  temper  your  ban — 
if  there  is  a  ban — so  that  the  inspiration 
of  a  great  mind  and  a  great  heart  may  not 
be  denied  to  those  who  have  need  of  it. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 
Anthony  Candy. 

That  is  the  letter  I  would  send  to  the 
Vatican.  That  is  the  letter  I  hope  some 
one  with  power  and  prestige  in  American 
Catholic  affairs  will  send.  Father  Cough- 
lin's gift  for  leadership  should  not  be 
wasted.  But  let  that  leadership  be  spiritual 
rather  than  political.  I  know  I  express 
the  sentiment  of  millions  when  I  say  we 
don't  want  him  to  be  gagged.

Song,"  starring  Grace  LaRue.  Then 
Brother  Phil's  voice  changed,  and  Irving 
had  to  go  on  alone. 

He  was  still  a  pretty  good  midget- 
good  enough  to  land  a  job  with  the  Fore- 
paugh-Sels  circus  for  fifteen  and  found. 
The  fifteen  went  home  to  mother ;  the  tight- 
rope walker  and  the  skinny  man  saw  to  it 
that  Irving  found  patches  for  his  pants 
and  peanuts  to  eat.  He  sang  with  a  band 
of  fifty  musicians  until,  in  Texas,  the 
sheriff  padlocked  the  show  to  prevent  the 
spreading  of  an  animal  plague. 

Irving  went  home  to  his  mother.  Then, 
shortly,  he  was  off  again— this  time  to 
John  Ringling,  who  had  offered  him  a 
job  after  scouting  the  Sels  layout.  Irving 
had  definitely  added  a  few  inches  to  his 
stature;  nevertheless,  upon  reporting  to 
Ringling  in  Denver  for  a  tcur  of  the 
south,  he  learned  he  was  again  to  add 
color  to  a  circus  band  as  its  midget  vo- 
calist. 

He  was  then  approaching  the  hoary  old 
age  of  ten. 

There  was  pretty  much  of  a  rush  about 
things  that  first  day,  Irving  remembers.  He 
reported  early  in  the  evening,  was  given 
his  costume  and  his  music.  By  the  time 
he  had  got  the  fat  lady  to  read  the  words 
for  him,  it  was  time  to  dress  and  go  on. 

He  stood  on  the  little  raised  platform 
that  had  been  hastily  constructed  for  him. 
The  music  swelled ;  then  it  died  down  to 
an  appropriate  murmur.  Irving  opened 
his  mouth.  He  closed  it  again  almost  im- 
mediately, to  the  immense  satisfaction  of 
everyone  within  shouting  distance.  The 
midget  soprano's  voice,  unused  for  sing- 
ing, after  the  layoff,  unnoticed  during  the 
summer,  had  changed ! 

Of  course,  that  ended  the  midget  busi- 
ness. It  also  ended  Kaufman  for  awhile. 
He  spent  four  or  five  years  back  home 
in  Syracuse.    First  he  worked  as  an  ele- 


vator boy,  then  as  a  flunky  in  the  L.  C. 
Smith  Typewriter  company.  Finally,  he 
bought  a  slide  lantern  and  sang  in  the 
nickelodeons.  Then,  he  pulled  out  for  the 
big  town,  New  York  City. 

For  some  reason — possibly  because  he 
was  pretty  good — young  Kaufman  had  no 
trouble  finding  a  job.  Leo  Feist  snapped 
him  up  almost  the  minute  he  got  off  the 
train  and  gave  him  thirty-five  dollars  a 
week  to  plug  songs.  For  a  little  more 
than  a  year  Kaufman  plugged  songs  for 
all  he  and  the  songs  were  worth.  Then 
he  made  tests  on  the  cylindrical  wax  rec- 
ords for  the  phonograph  Thomas  Edison 
had  just  perfected.  There  was,  immediately, 
much  huzzahing  and  hurrahing.  The  Edi- 
son company  had  made  a  find.  Kaufman 
has,  since  that  day  twenty-two  years  ago, 
recorded  for  twenty-two  different  com- 
panies under  ten  different  names. 

Though  Kaufman  was  moving  ahead,  he 
still  wasn't  much  nearer  the  home  that  he 
wanted.  But  he  was  doomed  to  do  with- 
out it  for  a  good  while  yet.  His  work 
had  so  swelled  his  reputation  that,  when 
Smith  and  Dale  and  Harry  Goodwin  de- 
cided the  Avon  Comedy  Four  sounded 
better  than  the  Avon  Comedy  Three,  they 
selected  Kaufman  as  the  only  other  come- 
dian and  singer  in  the  country  who  could 
match  them. 

You  know  how  the  Avon  Comedy  Four 
went  to  town.  How,  after  an  extremely 
successful  tour  here,  they  left  for  an  en- 
gagement in  London,  which  lasted  until 
the  war  came  along.  Then  Kaufman, 
Goodwin  and  Smith  and  Dale  returned  to 
New  York.  So  many  were  rushing  home 
then,  they  had  to  accept  steerage  passage 
on  the  Aquitania — which  is,  incidentally, 
where  Kaufman  picked  up  those  twenty- 
six  dialects  he  uses  on  his  Sunday  after- 
noon programs. 

Through  another  successful  tour  of  the

MEN'S  EYES  ARE 


country,  Kaufman  and  his  companions 
earned  the  reputation  of  being  the  best  act 
in  vaudeville.  Kaufman  recorded  as  fast 
as  he  could  learn  new  songs.  America  en- 
tered the  war  and  Kaufman's  flat  feet 
couldn't  keep  him  out  of  it;  he  was  a 
cantonment  entertainer.  Then,  after  the 
war,  he  spent  three  years  making  records. 

He  confesses  that,  at  that  stage,  he  just 
about  gave  up  hope  of  a  home.  The 
theater,  which  gave  him  his  living,  was 
good  to  him;  yet,  at  the  same  time,  it  was 
cruel.  But  there  was  something  of  which 
Kaufman  was  not  fully  aware,  that  was 
working  for  his  hopes.  Radio  was  coming. 

In  1923,  WJZ  was  just  starting  as  a 
local  New  York  City  station.  It  is  now 
one  of  the  ace  links  in  the  National  Broad- 
casting Company's  chain ;  then,  it  aired 
phonograph  recordings  almost  exclusively 
— and  the  records  it  used  were  almost  ex- 
clusively those  pressed  by  Irving  Kaufman. 

Irving  considered  this.  "Now,"  he  said 
to  himself,  "they  use  my  voice  on  phono- 
graph recordings.  Why  can't  they  use  it 
off  the  recordings?" 

He  went  down  to  the  WJZ  program  di- 
rector and  station  manager  and  asked. 

The  program  director  shrugged.  "Darned 
if  I  know,"  he  admitted. 

So  Kaufman  broke  into  radio  and 
the  dream  he  had  had  backstage  somewhere 
in  Pennsylvania  began  to  be  realized. 

Now  instead  of  long  sleeper  jumps  there 
were  subway  rides,  for  a  small,  black 
thingamajig  carried  a  song  or  a  gag  for 
thousands  of  miles.  That  meant  that 
Kaufman,  who  had  been  swinging  from 
dreary  hotel  to  dreary  hotel,  could  settle 
down — sink  his  roots  into  the  life  of  a 
community.  It  gave  him  and  his  wife  a 
chance  to  have  a  home. 

Yes,  he  had  a  wife  by  then — a  very  love- 
ly one  whom  he  had  just  married.  We  must 
tell  you  about  that. 

It  was  a  number  of  years  ago — about 
eight,  perhaps— that  he  met  her.  He  had 
gone  up  to  the  Marx  publishing  company 
to  learn  a  song  or  two,  and  the  manager, 
Belle  Brooks,  played  the  piano  for  him. 
She  was  so  nice,  he  went  up  each  week 
for  the  next  two  years  to  learn  other  songs. 

"Belle,"  he  said  one  day  "will  you  marry 
me?" 

Belle,  sitting  at  the  piano,  looked  up. 
'Of  course,"  she  agreed  pleasantly ;  then 
she  looked  back  at  her  music.  "Maybe 
you'd  better  do  this  in  G,"  she  added. 

When  she  became  Mrs.  Irving  Kaufman, 
Belle  decided  that  she,  too,  was  all  in 
favor  of  the  quiet  home  life.  Radio  was 
treating  Irving  right :  a  number  of  spon- 
sors entrusted  him  with  the  job  of  plug- 
ging soap,  soup,  meat,  radio  tubes,  spark 
plugs  and  floor  wax  and  Irving  was  tak- 
ing good  care  of  them.  So  there  was  no 
reason  he  shouldn't  seek  a  home.  Radio 
is  a  home  man's  business. 

They  settled  down.  He  bought  a  house 
in  New  Rochelle  and  they  have  a  cute  baby 
called  Caryl  Lee.  Mrs.  Kaufman  busies 
herself  with  raising  her  baby  and  making 
Irving  change  his  ties  oftener  than  once 
a  month.  He  tends  his  garden  religiously, 
and  also  has  started  what  is  now  one  of 
the  finest  collections  of  Dickens  in  the 
East ;  she  worries  about  dinner  menus, 
bridge,  and  how  many  orphan  kids  Irving 
will  have  at  his  next  Christmas  party. 
Caryl  Lee  worries  about  nothing  at  all. 
The  End 


HOW  DOES  YOUR  SKIN   STAND  THE  TEST? 


Every  man  instinctively  plays  the  part  of  a  beauty 
contest  judge. 

Every  man's  glance  is  a  searching  glance.  It  brings 
out  faults  in  your  skin  that  you  never  thin'c  would  be 
noticed.  Even  those  faint  lines  and  those  tiny  bumps 
that  you  think  might  escape  attention  are  taken  in 
by  a  man's  eyes  and,  many  times,  magnified. 

How  does  your  skin  meet  the  test?  If  it  is  at  all 
dry  or  scaly,  if  there  is  a  single  conspicuous  pore 
in  your  nose  or  even  a  suggestion  of  a  blackhead 
anywhere  on  your  face,  you  may  be  sure  that  you 
are  gaining  more  criticism  than  admiration. 

Many  common  complexion  blemishes  are  due  to 
nothing  less  than  improper  methods  of  skin  care. 
You  want  to  be  sure  to  really  clean  your  skin.  You 
don't  want  to  be  satisfied  merely  to  remove  the 
surface  dirt.  You  want  a  method  that  will  reach 
the  imbedded  dirt.  At  the  same  time,  one  that  will 
lubricate  your  skin  and  counteract  the  drying 
effects  of  exposure  to  the  weather. 

The  Care  The  Skin  Needs 

The  care  your  skin  needs  is  supplied,  in  simple 
form  in  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream.  This  cream  does 
more  than  merely  "grease"  the  skin.  It  actually 
cleanses.  It  reaches  the  hidden,  stubborn  dirt  be- 
cause it  is  a  penetrating  cream.  There  is  nothing 
stiff  or  heavy  about  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream.  It 
melts  the  instant  it  touches  the  skin  and  gently  and 
soothingly  penetrates  the  pores. 

"Going  to  work"  on  the  accumulated  waxy  dirt, 
it  breaks  up  and  makes  it — all  of  it — easily  remov- 
able. At  the  same  time,  as  Lady  Esther 
Face  Cream  gently  cleanses  the  skin,  .......... 

it  also  lubricates  it.  It  resupplies  it 
with  a  fine  oil  that  overcomes  dryness 
and  scaliness  and  keeps  the  skin  soft, 
smooth  and  supple. 

When  you  give  the  skin  this  com- 
mon sense  care  it's  remarkable  how 
it  responds.  Blackheads  and  enlarged 
pores  begin  to  disappear.  Those  faint 
lines  vanish.  The  skin  takes  on  tone —     ;  Addm%_ 


becomes  clear  and  radiant  It  also  lends  itself  to 
make-up  100%  better. 

Make  This  Test! 

If  you  want  to  demonstrate  the  unusual  cleansing 
powers  of  Lady  Esther  Four-Purpose  Face  Cream, 
just  do  this:  Cleanse  your  skin  as  you  are  now 
doing  it.  Give  it  an  extra  good  cleansing.  Then, 
when  you  think  it  absolutely  clean,  apply  Lady 
Esther  Face  Cream.  Leave  the  cream  on  a  few 
minutes,  then  wipe  off  with  clean  cloth.  You'll  be 
amazed  at  the  dirt  the  cloth  shows.  This  test  has 
proved  a  source  of  astonishment  to  thousands  of 
women. 

At  My  Expense! 

Let  me  prove  to  you,  at  my  expense,  the  excep- 
tional qualities  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Cream.  Let 
me  send  you  a  week's  supply  free  of  charge.  Then, 
make  the  test  I  have  just  described  —  the  clean 
cloth  test.  Prove  the  cream  too,  in  actual  daily  use. 
In  one  week's  time  you'll  see  such  a  difference  in 
your  skin  as  to  amaze  you. 

With  the  7-day  tube  of  cream.  I  will  also  send 
you  all  five  shades  of  Lady  Esther  Face  Powder.

powder.  Find  out  which  is  your  most  becoming,

the  cream  and  powder  go  together  and  what  the 
two  do  for  the  beauty  of  your  complexion.

was  a  tasty  little  news  item  to  the  effect 
that  I  was  going  in  for  German  lieder, 
with  an  idea  (I  suppose)  of  giving  Nelson 
Eddy  and  a  couple  of  other  genuine  artists 
a  bit  of  competition.  According  to  the 
report.  I  had  engaged  a  German  teacher 
and  was  already  polishing  up  on  umlauts. 
Don't  believe  it,  my  friend.  It  was,  and 
is,  the  farthest  thing  from  my  thoughts. 

I'm  proud  to  be  called  a  crooner.  But  I 
think  that  there  should  be  a  movement 
toward  liberalizing  the  definition  of  "to 
croon."  So  far,  Webster  has  not,  to  my 
knowledge,  included  the  word  "crooner" 
in  his  columns.  In  one  vast  and  weighty 
tome.  I  discovered  that  "to  croon"  is  "to 
sing  in  a  low,  monotonous  tone."  Mr.  N. 
Webster  (the  late  Mr.  X.  Webster,  per- 
haps I  should  say)  reports  it,  "to  hum 
or  sing  in  a  low  tone." 

My  complaint  is  that,  as  a  crooner,  I 
don't  "hum  or  sing"  either  in  a  low  or  a 
monotonous  tone.  I  sing  out,  opening  my 
mouth  wide,  giving  every  note  its  chance, 
instead  of  trying  to  smother  it.  I  admit 
that  I  "baby"  the  microphone  a  bit.  Sing- 


ing too  loud  might  blast  it.  And  I  have  a 
couple  of  other  precautions  in  broadcast- 
ing, but  none  of  them  fit  in  with  the  erudite 
dictionary  gentlemen's  description  of  "to 

croon." 

Outside  of  this  mild  complaint,  and  that 
directed  only  at  the  getter-uppers  of  dic- 
tionaries, I  have  absolutely  no  reason  to 
think  that  being  called  a  crooner  is  a  mark 
of  opprobrium.  Anyhow,  what  I'm  called 
leaves  me  awfully  disinterested  and  un- 
concerned— an  attitude  I  intend  to  preserve 
as  long  as  that  ever-loving  check  is  there 
at  the  end  of  the  week.  When  they  start 
listing  me  as  a  "baritone,"  then  I'll  want 
to  write  letters  of  apology  to  Messrs.  Tib- 
bett,  Thomas,  Robeson,  Eddy,  Werrenrath, 
Bonelli,  Pinza,  and  the  others.  I  don't 
want  to  go  under  false  pretenses. 

Incidentally,  I'm  not  a  writer,  either, 
and  if  you  agree  with  me  after  reading 
this  ditty,  you'll  have  to  blame  it,  as  I 
have,  on  the  fellow  who  crashed  my  dress- 
ing-room and  set  me  to  thinking  why  I'm 
proud  to  be  called  a  crooner.

An  artist  in  action!  The  Candid  Camera  catches  Cornelia  Otis 
Skinner  in  varying  moods,  as  she  broadcasts  her  delightful  solo  dramas 
on  the  Jergens  Sunday  evening  programs.    (Story  begins  on  Page  36.)

The  Wild  Westcotts,  and  other  dramas. 

I  asked  her  if  she  would  like  to  appear 
again  in  a  play,  and  she  confessed  that  she 
would,  if  she  could  get  a  good  one.  For 
one  week  this  summer  she  will  play  Can- 
dida, as  guest  star  for  a  Westchester  sum- 
mer stock  company.  "A  role  every  actress 
loves  to  do,"  she  said. 

However,  she  loves  doing  her  mono- 
logues, cither  on  the  stage  or  over  the  air. 
It  gives  her  a  degree  of  freedom  that  is 
denied  by  the  routine  of  appearing  eight 
times  a  week  in  a  dramatic  play.  It  per- 
mits of  more  home  life,  which,  to  her  as 
to  any  normal  young  woman,  is  greatly  to 
be  desired. 

As  to  that  home  life,  one  must  yield  to 
a  decent  reserve.  Happy  home  life  does 
not  easily  sustain  ballyhoo.  Neither  Miss 
Skinner  nor  her  husband,  Alden  S.  Blod- 
gett,  want  that. 

"You  can  have  both  home  life  and  a  ca- 
reer," Miss  Skinner  said  thoughtfully.  "It 
means  giving  up  certain  things — things 
you  don't  really  want — in  order  to  have 
things  you  do  want.  I've  given  up  a  great 
deal — but  nothing  that  I  really  wanted." 

Which  suggests  a  sound  sense  of  values. 

Their  home,  in  Gracie  Square,  New 
York,  is  filled  with  rare  and  historic  trea- 
sures, for  which  both  Miss  Skinner  and 
Mr.  Blodgett  have  an  abiding  passion.  In 
fact  the  youngest  thing  in  the  house,  no 
doubt,  is  Otis  Alden  Blodgett,  four  and  a 
half  years  old,  and  known  as  "Dicky." 

Mr.  Blodgett  takes  a  proud  interest  in 
his  wife's  career.  But  beyond  that,  their 
mutual  tastes  send  deep  roots  down  into 
the  essentials  of  life,  in  living  fully,  wisely 
and  happily. 

So,  still  in  her  early  thirties — she  was 
born  in  Chicago,  Illinois,  on  May  thirtieth, 
1901 — Cornelia  Otis  Skinner  already  has 
built  for  herself  a  fully  rounded  life, 
crowned  with  increasing  fame,  and,  if  not 


with  fortune,  at  least  with  a  pleasant  por- 
tion of  this  world's  goods. 

She  had  a  happy  girlhood,  at  home,  at 
school,  at  college.  She  had  the  thrill  of 
travelling  to  Europe  at  twenty -one,  alone 
with  a  college  chum  of  the  same  age.  She 
has  known  success  as  a  writer  of  verse  and 
of  articles  on  the  theatre.  She  has  been 
successful  on  the  stage.  She  has  seen  her 
monologues  grow  in  popularity,  bringing 
her  ever  wider  and  more  enthusiastic  ac- 
claim. And  she  has  known  romance  and 
love,  marriage  and  motherhood. 

A  full  life — any  one  phase  of  which 
might  seem  completeness  to  a  less  gifted 
soul.  All  of  which  Cornelia  Otis  Skinner 
takes  in  her  stride,  with  pride  and  patience 
and  persistence,  with  the  sensitivity  of  the 
artist  and  the  strength  that  life  somehow 
imparts  to  its  rare  souls,  to  sustain  them. 
And  with  it  all,  she  remains  a  natural,  un- 
spoiled young  woman,  with  a  merry  humor 
and  a  ready  laugh. 

When  she  was  rehearsing  her  Anne 
Boleyn  script,  reading  the  tragic  lines  the 
forlorn  queen  speaks  to  Master  Kings- 
ton, who  has  come  to  lead  her  to  the  block 
where  the  executioner's  axe  awaits  her: 
"Is  my  neck  bare  enough?  See!  They've 
only  to  hold  my  hair  so!"  ("It  will  be  a 
permanent!")  Miss  Skinner  interpolates 
with  soft  irony.  Then,  her  voice  shrill  and 
shaken  with  tragedy,  she  continues  in  the 
words  of  the  script:  "The  hunt  is  up! 
Death  to  the  doe!  To  make  sport  for  the 
royal  whim!  Off  with  my  head!" 

And  the  listener  is  wracked  with  the  re- 
ality of  the  scene  and  the  emotion  con- 
jured by  her  art. 

Beautiful,  gracious,  charming,  gifted — 
Again  pleasant  and  appropriate  adjectives 
flock  to  the  mind,  as  I  speak  my  pleasure 
in  her  program,  and,  with  a  reluctant  good 
night,  take  my  leave.

we  can  concentrate  to  the  extent  of  an  al- 
most exclusive  diet  is  because  it  contains 
practically  all  the  elements  required  by 
the  body,  except  roughage  and  certain  of 
the  vitamins.  (A  big  glass  of  orange  juice 
is  served  the  guests  who  are  on  the  exclu 
sive  milk-reducing  diet  at  the  Bernie  Milk 
Farm  the  very  first  thing  in  the  morning, 
in  order  to  supply  those  few  lacking  vita- 
mins.) Milk  contains  proteins  for  build- 
ing bone  and  muscle,  and  for  repairing  the 
body's  wear  and  tear :  fats  and  sugar,  to 
supply  heat  and  energy ;  certain  of  the 
vitamins  that  are  needed  for  growth  and 
for  warding  off  disease,  mineral  salts,  par- 
ticularly phosphorus  and  lime,  needed  in 
the  blood,  the  bones,  the  teeth  and  the  tis- 
sues ;  and  water,  which  the  body  needs  and 
uses  to  carry  off  waste. 

We  do  not  usually  think  of  milk  as  an 
energy  food,  and  yet  a  quart  of  milk  of 
average  richness  supplies  about  one- fourth 
of  the  total  energy  required  daily  by  a 
moderately  active  man  or  woman.  Even 
the  lowly  regarded  skim  milk  contains  all 
the  good  qualities  of  whole  milk,  except 
fat  and  the  milk-fat  vitamin. 

A  pint  of  milk  a  day  is  a  good  daily  al- 
lowance for  an  adult,  and  may  be  used 
either  in  fluid  form  or  in  any  of  the  milk- 
products  such  as  butter  or  cottage  cheese, 
milkshakes,  eggnogs,  cocoa,  ice  cream, 
custards,  puddings,  soups,  creamed  vege- 
tables and  escalloped  dishes. 

If  you  were  going  on  a  radio  expedition 
to  Byrd's  Little  America,  you  could  still 
take  your  health  and  beauty  quota  of  milk 
along  with  you  in  the  form  of  evaporated, 
dried  or  condensed  milk.  Evaporated  milk 
is  simply  milk  from  which  about  sixty  per- 
cent of  the  water  has  been  removed.  W  hen 
water  is  added,  it  can  be  used  as  a  substi- 
tute for  pasteurized  fresh  milk.  The  same 
substitution  holds  in  the  case  of  dried  milk, 
from  which  practically  all  of  the  water  has 
been  evaporated.  Condensed  milk  is  eva- 
porated milk  sweetened  with  sugar. 

All  of  which  may  seem  like  a  disserta- 
tion on  milk  rather  than  on  beauty,  but  the 
connection  is  so  close  that  I  felt  justified. 

I  hope  you're  going  to  be  full  enough  of 
enthusiasm  to  clip  the  coupon,  check  it, 
and  send  it  in.  Signing  off  from  Station 
KYAB  with  three  cheers  for  the  milkman, 
and  the  Old  Maestro's  sister.

MASTERS  OF  THE  STARS 

We're  in  a  Paul  Whiteman  rehearsal. 
Paul  has  been  working  hard  for  several 
hours  and  he  wants  to  rest ;  so  he  starts 
out  of  the  studio.  "Be  back  in  five  min- 
utes." he  warns  a  heavy-set  man.  White- 
man  looks  disgusted,  but  he  obeys !  .  .  . 

We're  at  a  Stoopnagle  and  Budd  rehears- 
al. Although  their  gags  are  making  the 
sound  effects  man  miss  his  cues,  a  fellow 
wearing  glasses  rushes  out  of  the  control 
room  and  shouts,  "That  crack,  my  lads,  is 
stinkin'.  Cut  it!"  They  cut  it!  .  .  .  We're 
in  a  Rudy  Vallee  rehearsal.  Rudy  stands  by 
while  a  young  fellow,  whose  light  hair  is 
thinning  on  top,  shifts  the  singers  closer 
to  the  microphone  and  tells  the  band  to 
play  a  little  more  quietly.  The  young  man 
gesticulates   to   someone   in   the  control- 


room  ;  then  he  gives  instructions  to  Rudy. 
And  Rudy  hurries  to  comply! 

Who  are  these  men  who  can  tell  the 
stars  what  to  do  and  bawl  them  out  when 
they  don't  do  it?  We  never  hear  their 
names,  so  how  do  they  get  that  way?  I've 
found  out  for  you.  They  are  "production 
men."  One  of  them,  Norman  Sweetser, 
has  a  story  as  interesting  as  any  of  the 
stars.  So  has  Lester  O'Keefe,  the  young 
man  with  the  thinning  hair,  but  it's  about 
Norm  that  I  want  to  write. 

He  began  in  radio  on  station  WJZ  back 
in  1927  and  he  started  as  a  singer  and 
announcer.  Ke  had  been  famous  as  a 
legit  actor  and  as  a  war  ace,  and  he  became 
famous  again.  But  after  two  years,  radio 
men  found  that  programs  were  better  when 
a  man  who  knew  the  business  of  entertain- 


70 


RADIO  STARS 


ment  supervised  their  preparation.  They 
gave  him  the  job  of  handling  a  show  and 
called  him  a  production  man.  His  job 
was  to  see  that  stars  rehearsed  properly, 
that  music  came  over  the  mike  correctly, 
that  dramatic  moments  were  properly 
built,  that  scripts  were  written  and  spon- 
sors pacified.  He's  still  doing  it,  and  he's 
no  longer  famous. 

His  most  interesting  job,  Norm  says, 
was  acting  as  production  man  for  Al  Smith 
in  1928  when  the  Happy  Warrior  was 
campaigning  for  the  presidency.  Smith, 
he  remembers,  was  a  poor  broadcaster, 
though  a  swell  speaker.  He  would  slam 
the  mike  around,  sway  back  and  forth  out 
ui  its  reach,  and,  if  the  mood  took  him, 
even  turn  his  back  on  it.  Norm  finally 
solved  the  problem  by  roping  Smith  to 
one  spot.  That  gives  you  an  idea  of 
what  the  boys  go  through. 

Norm  likes  production  and  says  that  it 
is  vastly  underrated.  Since  people  don't 
know  what  "production  man"  means,  they 
say,  vaguely,  "It's  nice  work  if  you  can 
get  it,"  when  they  hear  that's  his  job.  Then 
they'll  add,  comfortingly,  "But  he  used  to 
sing,  didn't  he?  They  can't  take  that  away 
from  him." 

That  kind  of  talk  makes  him  sore. 

WHEN  THE  AUDIENCE  IS  AWAY 

As  you  and  I  sit  in  a  studio  watching 
Guy  Lombardo's  orchestra  rehearse,  we 
notice  a  heavily-built  man  who  comes  in 
and  sits  near  the  back.  When  Graham 
McNamee  practices  announcing  the  show, 
the  heavily-built  man  listens  attentively. 
.  .  .  There  is  drama  in  this.    The  heavily 


built  man  is  Phil  Carlin,  a  network  execu- 
tive. Eight  years  ago,  he  and  Graham 
McNamee  were  rivals.  They  were  called 
the  Twins  because  their  voices  were  so 
alike  that,  when  they  broadcast,  people 
would  lay  large  bets  as  to  which  was 
which-  Controversy  about  their  respective 
merits  raged — until  Phil  abandoned  an- 
nouncing. .  .  .  Now  he  often  drops  in  on 
Graham,  because  it  brings  back  old  mem- 
ories and  because  he  can  imagine  he  is 
listening  to  himself  rehearse.  Just  a  few 
weeks  ago  he  filled  in  for  Graham  on  that 
fifteen-minute  review  of  world  affairs — 
and  few  noted  the  substitution. 

We  now  are  watching  John  Charles  Tho- 
mas, who  looks  like  an  older,  handsomer 
Jack  Oakie.  He  wears  his  hat  on  the 
back  of  his  head  with  the  brim  flipped  up 
college  boy  fashion,  and  lets  his  splendid 
voice  swell  into  song.  .  .  .  William  Daly, 
the  orch  leader,  catches  our  eye.  His  arm- 
wavings  and  body-swingings  while  direct- 
ing the  band  are  even  more  violent  than 
Reisman's,  though  he  doesn't  snap  at  his 
men.  Just  for  fun,  we  watch  the  musi- 
cians. Only  once  do  they  look  at  him 
during  the  number,  and  that  is  when  he 
humps  against  a  music  stand.  He  might 
as  well  be  putting  on  a  little  acrobatic  turn 
all  his  own.  Later,  after  a  bit  of  dia- 
logue, the  band  is  supposed  to  come  in,  on 
Daly's  cue,  with  "Home  on  the  Range." 
When  the  time  comes,  Daly  waves  his  pen- 
cil violently — and  since  the  men  aren't 
watching  him,  nothing  happens.  "I  can't 
understand,"  he  complains,  "why  you  fel- 
lows don't  follow  me." 


MUCH  TOOTING 

Until  just  the  other  day,  I  thought  I 
had  been  seeing  things.  I  had  dropped 
in  to  a  Kostelanetz  rehearsal,  and  there  was 
Manny  Klien  blowing  a  trumpet.  Later, 
at  various  intervals,  I  ran  into  the  same 
Manny  Klien  playing  with  Red  Nichols, 
Kcl  Murray,  Leon  Belasco,  Lennie  Hay- 
ton,  B.  A.  Roll'e  and  Ruhinoff.  Finally  I 
asked  him  just  how  much  work  he  docs. 

Well,  it  seems  that  he,  with  one  or  two 
others,  is  just  about  the  busiest  musician 
in  the  world.  Klien  outlined  a  typical 
hard  day  for  me.  He's  up  at  eight  in  the 
morning.  At  nine,  he  begins  rehearsing 
and  playing,  hopping  from  studio  to  stu- 
dio and  from  Uadio  City  to  Columbia 
theatre  as  his  schedule  requires.  Lunch 
uses  up  half  an  hour  and  dinner  more 
than  an  hour,  but  he  works,  on  a  busy 
day,  until  two  the  next  morning.  Manny 
says  he  tires  of  sitting  sooner  than  he 
tires  of  tooting  his  horn. 

FAN  MAIL 

A  letter  was  delivered  to  the  Chicago 
NBC  offices  the  other  day,  just  a  year 
and  a  half  late.  It  was  addressed  to  Ben 
Bernie  and  marked :  Delayed  because  of 
transportation  difficulties  in  Little  Amer- 
ica, Antarctica. 

IT'S  GONE  TOO  FAR  DEPT. 

Winchell  carried  the  item  stating  that 
Don  Wilson  and  Gogo  Delys  have  it  bad, 
two  national  magazines  picked  it  up  as 
gossip  and  gosh  knows  how  many  people 
believe  it.  But,  Don  is  a  married  man  and 
batty  about  his  wife  and  kids.

NoOneWillEverKnow 
the  Agony  I  Under- 
went in  Silence 

TF  there's  anything  will  make  you  miserable 
and  wear  you  down,  it's  Piles.  The  person 
who  has  Piles  can't  walk,  sit,  stand  or  even 
lie  down  in  comfort.  The  agony  writes  itself 
on  your  face  and  makes  you  look  years  older 
than  you  are. 

The  worst  part  about  Piles  is  that,  on 
account  of  the  delicacy  of  the  subject,  many 
hesitate  to  seek  relief.  Yet,  if  there's  anything 
in  need  of  medical  attention,  it's  this  trouble, 
for  it  can  develop  seriously. 

Piles  may  vary  in  form.  They  may  be  in- 
ternal or  external,  painful  or  itching,  or  both. 
They  may  be  bleeding  or  not.  Whatever  form 
Piles  take,  they  are  something  to  be  con- 
cerned about  and  something  to  treat  promptly. 

Perfect  Comfort 

Effective  treatment  for  Piles  today  is  supplied 
in  Pazo  Ointment.  Pazo  is  quick-acting.  It  is 
reliable.  It  almost  instantly  relieves  the  dis- 
tress and  restores  comfort.  Pazo  is  highly 
efficacious  for  the  reason  that  it  is  a  scientific 
formula  of  threefold  effect. 

First,  it  is  soothing.  This  tends  to  relieve 
soreness  and  inflammation.  Second,  it  is  lubri- 
cating. This  tends  to  relax  drawn  parts  and 
also  to  make  passage  easy.  Third,  it  is  astrin- 
gent. This  tends  to  reduce  swollen  parts  and 
to  stop  bleeding.  Thousands  have  used  Pazo 
with  success  when  other  measures  have  failed. 

Now  in  3  Forms 

Pazo  Ointment  now  comes  in  three  forms  :(1) 
in  Tubes  with  Special  Pile  Pipe  for  insertion 
high  up  in  the  rectum;  (2)  in  Tins  for  applica- 
tion in  the  ordinary  way;  (3)  in  Suppository 
form  (new).  Those  who  prefer  suppositories 
will  find  Pazo  the  most  satisfactory,  as  they  are 
self-lubricating  and  otherwise  highly  efficient. 

Try  It! 

All  drug  stores  sell  Pazo  in  the  three  forms  as 
described.  Get  it  today  in  the  form  you  prefer 
and  try  it  out.  Your  money  back  if  it  doesn't 
more  than  amaze  you  with  the  relief  it  affords. 


another,  he'll  have  to  have  a  part  he  can 
play.  They  also  do  say  that  he's  been 
carrying  on  negotiations  with  M-G-M. 

Unkie:  Thank  you  from  the  bottom  of 
my  soft  old  heart,  Snooper.  Hi  there, 
Block  and  Sully.  One  of  my  readers 
wants  to  know  if  you're  Burns  and  Allen. 

Sully:  Well,  we  weren't  the  last  time 
we  looked  in  the  family  Bible.  We  might 
be  now — no,  come  to  think  of  it,  I'm  sure 
we're  not. 

Unkie:  Much  obliged,  ol'  Sully,  ol'  keed. 
Oh,  there  you  are,  Stuart  Churchill.  Do 
tell  me  where  you  were  born. 

Stuart:  Well,  my  native  city  is  St. 
Francis,  Kansas.  Figure  it  out  for  your- 
self. 

Unkie:  I'll  try.  In  the  meantime,  I'll 
try  to  pin  Virginia  Clark  here  down  to 
giving  me  the  cast  of  the  "Helen  Trent" 
dramas.    What  say,  Jinny? 

Virginia:  To  you,  Unkie,  applesauce. 
To  your  readers,  how  do  you  do?  The 
cast  is  this  way:  Helen  Trent,  Virginia 
Clark  (that's  I,  you  know)  ;  Agatha  An- 
thony, Marie  Nelson;  John  Haivorth, 
Kugene  McGillen  (that  one  in  Myrt  and 
Marge)  ;  Dennis  Fallon,  Ed  Prentis;  Cap- 
tain Saul,  James  Blaine ;  Mrs.  Berrens, 
Hazel  Dopheide;  Captain  Horlon,  Jim 
Goss ;  Gonzalez,  Henry  Saxe ;  Mary  Stew- 
ard, Sunda  Lave.  And  the  theme  song  is 
Victor  Herbert's  "Kiss  Me  Again,"  only 
don't  go  uttering  any  of  your  puerile  flip- 
pancies now. 

Unkie:  Oh,  my,  you  certainly  wound 
me.  Hello,  Nick  Dawson,  I  want  to 
know  

Nick:  Something  about  my  life?  Oke. 
I  was  born  in  Yineland,  New  Jersey. 
That's  a  little  town  near  Atlantic  City. 
I  was  really  named  George  Coleman  Daw- 
son. When  I  was  cutting  up  in  school 
once,  the  teacher  said  I  behaved  like  the 
Old  Nick,  and  ever  since  the  name's  stuck 
and  if  you  dare  even  start  to  say  "So 
that's  how  you  got  your  'nick'-name,"  I'll 
trample  you  into  the  carpet !  I  played 
one-night  stands  with  a  stock  company 
and  then  travelled  with  both  Barnum  and 
Bailey's  and  Ringling  Brothers'  circuses. 
I  have  been  mixed  up  with  revolutionists 
in  Mexico,  slept  on  park  benches  in  New 
York  and  been  shanghaied  aboard  a 
square-rigger  bound  to  Hong  Kong, 
worked  as  a  cowboy,  painted  in  Paris, 
fought  in  FVance  as  an  American  in- 
fantry officer,  and  written  advertising  copy 
in  a  New  York  agency.  Aside  from  that, 
there's  really  been  very  little  excitement 
in  my  life. 

Unkie:  Really  a  very  quiet  life,  Nick! 
.  .  .  Oh,  there's  Bill  Huggins!  Say,  Bill, 
where  the  dickens  have  you  been  lately? 
Everybody's  been  asking  for  you. 

Bill:  Aw,  just  around.  I'm  starting  a 
new  series  on  WOR  and  perhaps  by  the 
time  you  print  what  I'm  telling  you  I'll 


have  the  program  going  out  over  the  Mu- 
tual  Broadcasting   System  network. 

Unkie:  And  that'll  be  very  nice  for 
those  of  your  listeners  who  can  hear 
WOR,  WGN,  WLW,  or  any  other  sta- 
tions Mutual  may  have  by  then.  S'long, 
Bill,  I  got  a  little  matter  to  take  up 
with  Lanny  Ross  here.  Listen,  Lanny, 
no  matter  how  often  I  write  it,  there're 
always  more  readers  who  want  to  know 
your  birth-date.  Suppose  you  give  it  to 
me  just  once  more. 

Lanny:  Oke,  Unk.    January  19th,  1906. 

Unkie:  Thanks,  Lanny.  Now  I've  got 
to  catch  Nelson  Eddy  lie  fore  he  gets  into 
that  elevator  and  ask  him  the  same  ques- 
tion. Hey,  Nels,  when  and  where  were 
you  born  ? 

Nelson:  Huh?  Oh,  hello  there,  Uncle 
Answer  Man.  Why — 'mm — well,  I  was 
born  in  Providence,  Rhode  Island',  June 
29th,  1901.    Hey,  elevator.    Going  down! 

Unkie:  Very  kind  of  him.  And  even 
if  he  is  going  down  in  the  elevator,  he's 
going  up  in  the  radio  and  movie  world. 
Oh,  Jerry.  Jerry  Cooper.  Look,  Jerry, 
here's  someone  who  wants  to  know 
whether  or  not  it's  possible  to  get  tickets 
for  your  Roadways  of  Romance  broadcasts. 

Jerry:  Sorry,  old  boy.  It's  what  we 
artists  call  a  closed  show. 

Unkie:  Well,  much  obliged,  anyhow.  I 
wish  someone  would  tell  me — oh,  there  he 
is  now !  Listen,  Johnny  Marvin,  I  want 
to  ask  you  your  wife's  name. 

Johnny:  It's  Edna  May  Marvin.  And 
if  you  care  to  know,  I  met  her  in  vaude- 
ville and  married  her  one  month  later. 

Unkie:  Thanks,  Johnny,  I  do  care  to 
know.  Ah,  there,  Mademoiselle  Peg 
LaCentra,  I  would  have  you  tell  me  a 
few  things  about  yourself. 

Peg  LaC:  Well,  I  haven't  quite  figured 
out  yet  whether  I'm  going  to  end  up  as 
a  singer  or  an  actress.  I  sing  on  the 
"Circus  Nights"  programs,  and  act  with 
Max  Baer  on  the  "Lucky  Smith"  pro- 
grams. Anyhow,  I  started  in  radio  as 
an  announcer  on  WNAC  in  Boston  in 
1929.  Before  that,  I'd  studied  to  be  a 
concert  pianist.  Then  I  came  to  New 
York  five  years  ago  and  I  found  it  pretty- 
tough  going  for  a  while.  Finally  I  got 
into  the  chorus  of  the  musical  show, 
"Music  in  the  Air."  Then  I  got  parts 
on  "Cape  Diamond  Lights,''  "45  Minutes 
in  Hollywood"  and  the  "Goldbergs."  I 
am  twenty-four  years  old,  am  five  feet 
two  inches  tall  and  weigh  ninety-three 
pounds,  but  just  the  same  I  have  a  tem- 
per, and  if  you  insist  on  standing  gaping 
at  me  like  that  I'll  have  you  put  out! 

Unkie:   But,  Peg,  I  was  only  

Peg:  Pa-age  boy  !  Pa-age!  Throw  this 
bum  out. 

Unkie:  Here.  Cut  it  out.  Stop  it. 
What  do  you  think  ...  oh,  all  right, 

I  was  going  anyhow.

Hall  so  that  he  might  be  one  of  the  first 
to  purchase  a  gallery  seat  for  Mischa 
Elman's  recital. 

His  passionate  longing  to  emulate  the 
masters  of  his  instrument  made  him  visit 
historic  Jordan  Hall  by  stealth.  There,  in 
the  gloom  of  midnight,  he  would  play,  his 
imagination  filling  tier  upon  tier  of  empty 
seats  with  a  ghostly  host  and  placing  an 
accompanist  at  the  shrouded  piano  behind 
him  on  the  dark  stage.  The  flickering 
beam  of  his  flashlight  would  become  the 
warm  glow  of  the  amber  spot ;  the  patter  of 
mice  in  the  walls  would  be  the  thunder  of 
applause.  Detectives,  sent  to  account  for 
the  strange  presence  there,  forced  the 
door  one  night.  He  did  not  hear  them, 
nor  did  he  see  them  as  they  came  down 
the  dark  aisles.  He  was  lost  in  this  world 
of  his  own  making. 

Yes,  jazz  was  far  removed  from  him. 
Then,  an  instructor  asked  him  what  he 
thought  of  it. 

"Rubbish,"  snapped  Leo.  "It's  not 
American.    It's  negroid  and  Hebraic." 

"The  people  love  it,"  the  instructor 
pointed  out. 

Leo  nodded.  It  was  true !  The  fact 
bothered  him  as  a  mental  rash  would  bother 
him.  Maria  Wood  had  taught  him  that 
were  anything  to  conflict  with  his  own 
views,  the  trouble  lay  either  with  his 
views  or  with  it.  So  Leo  Reisman  decided 
to  investigate  dance  music.  He  investi- 
gated— and  didn't  like  what  he  found.  There 
was  only  one  thing  he  could  possibly  do: 
He  would  blast  it  -wide  open! 

With  that  single  idea  in  mind,  Reisman, 
who  had  turned  down  offers  to  play  with 
the  symphony  so  that  he  might  study  more, 
accepted  offers  to  play  with  these  noise- 
mad  lunatics. 

You  must  understand  that  this,  to  the 
staid  scholars  with  whom  he  learned 
Haydn,  was  blasphemy.  But  Reisman 
wasn't  concerned  with  what  theyr  thought. 
During  the  day  his  violin  sang  the  fault- 
less measures  of  a  revered  sonata ;  during 
the  night,  it  could  hardly  be  heard  above 
the  thunder  of  the  drums  and  the  shriek- 
ing of  the  jazz  clarinet.  But  he  formed 
ideas — revolutionary  ones. 

In  those  days  Lieutenant  Jim  Europe 
was  the  foremost  figure  in  the  world  of 
the  blues  and  his  drummer,  Battle-ax 
Kennedy,  was  the  man  about  whom  the 
organization  was  built.  Kennedy  had  so 
many  racket-makers — tin-pans,  whistles, 
horse-shoes,  sleighbells,  bottles,  cans  and 
cocoanut  shells — that  he  often  took  up  the 
whole  stage  of  a  theater  himself. 

But  it  wasn't  long  before  Reisman  got 
his  chance  to  disrupt  such  goings  on.  The 
Hotel  Brunswick  was  having  trouble  with 
its  dance  ensembles.  Finally,  after  hav- 
ing tried  many  combinations,  the  manager 
turned  to  Leo. 

Leo  stood  alone,  with  only  the  teachings 
of  two  women  to  guide  him.  To  the  right 
lay  a  road,  straight  and  level,  with  few 
thrills  and  lots  of  comfort  for  both  him- 
self and  the  girl  he  had  just  married.  It 
was  the  pleasant  life  of  the  academic  mu- 
sician. To  the  left  lay  another.  It  was 
uneven  and  uphill,  what  could  be  seen  of 


it,  and  there  were  no  signs  telling  what 
would  be  found  at  the  end.  But  it  was 
Leo  Keisman's  road.  He  accepted  the 
Hotel  Brunswick's  offer. 

Leo  formed  his  band.  He  eliminated 
the  clarinets  and  the  jazz  clarinets!  He 
informed  his  drummer  that  he  was  to  play 
only  the  drums — no  cans  or  fire  sirens.  He 
issued  instructions  that  the  orchestra  should 
play  only  those  notes  indicated  in  the 
score.  He  made  it  clear  that  no  musician 
would  be  allowed  to  get  up  and  ab  lib 
a  hot  solo  whenever  he  felt  like  it ! 

Other  band  leaders  laughed  when  they 
heard  about  this  new  leader  who  was  going 
to  use  a  soft  rhythm  for  psychological 
effect  and  feature  that  queer  new  instru- 
ment, the  saxophone.  "He  can't  get  away 
with  it,"  they  jeered.  "We'll  give  him  and 
his  new  fangled  ideas  just  two  weeks!" 

But  Leo  had  thought  everything  ou*,  as 
his  mother  and  Maria  Wood  had  taught 
him.  He  reasoned  that  tradition  could  be 
bucked.  So  he  bucked  it.  Dancing  Bos- 
ton found  his  music  delightful.  Growing 
crowds  heard  him.  Among  them  was 
Jerome  Kern.  The  next  day  he  came  to 
Leo  with  Charles  Dillingham,  the  pro- 
ducer. 

"We  want  you  in  New  York,"  they  said. 
"We'll  feature  you  in  our  new  musical, 
'Good  Morning,  Dearie.'  You  can't  lose." 

Leo  found  himself  facing  another  di- 
vision in  the  road.  Again  one  path  lay 
well  defined,  the  other  beset  by  unsuspected 
dangers.  And  again  Reisman  chose  the 
one  to  the  left. 

He  came  to  Xew  York,  the  young  con- 
queror from  Boston.  And  those  perils, 
hidden  when  he  made  his  choice,  leaped 
out  at  him.  New  York  didn't  want  the 
young  conqueror  any  more  than  it  wanted 
his  melodies. 

"The  arrangements  in  "Good  Morning, 
Dearie"  had  been  disastrous.  The  soft 
strains  of  Leo's  simple  music  had  mainly 
disappeared  up  the  flies  and  the  audience 
failed  to  be  impressed.  Dowagers  in  the 
Crystal  room  of  the  Ritz-Carlton  still  be- 
lieved crashing  and  intricate  elaborations 
were  the  ultimate  in  dance  music.  At  night, 
after  playing  to  small,  uninterested  crowds, 
Reisman  would  creep  into  bed  and  wonder 
what  to  do.    He  couldn't  go  back.  .  .  . 

Think  it  out!  He  thought  .  .  .  Think  it 
out  straight!  He  thought  straight.  .  .  . 
And  he  decided  he  must  merchandise  him- 
self, as  underwear,  or  cigarettes  are  mer- 
chandised. He  invented  the  term 
"The  romantic  fox  trot."  That  got  some 
of  them.  He  made  use  of  his  sense  of 
humor  and  his  surprisingly  good  voice. 
That  got  still  more.  His  music  took  care 
of  the  rest. 

Reisman  returned  home  that  next  year, 
itching  for  more  battles.  He  didn't  wait 
long.  Charles  Martin  Loeffler,  the  famous 
composer,  came  to  him  and  said :  "Leo, 
I've  written  something  different  from  any- 
thing else  I've  ever  done.  I've  called  it 
Cloii'ns  and  it's  for  you." 

Reisman  looked  at  it,  and  beyond  the 
notes  of  the  manuscript  he  could  see  the 
music  world,  hastily  adapting  itself  to  his 
new  type  of  playing.

"Charlie,"  he  said,  "let's  blow  the  top 
off  this  stiff-necked  old  town." 

"Right.    What'll  we  do?" 

"We'll  present  Clozcns  at  Symphony 
Hall." 

Austere  old  Symphony  Hall,  which  had 
never  known  the  pagan  beat  of  a  synco- 
pated note  !  Loeffler  was  astounded  ;  then 
his  eyes  twinkled.  He  admired  this  tra- 
dition-smashing youth. 

They  called  it  the  Concert  of  Rhythms, 
and  six  hard  weeks  went  into  its  prepara- 
tion. But  only  one  thing  happened  to  mar 
its  perfection.  When  the  curtain  went  up, 
the  wife  of  one  of  the  richest  men  in  the 
world  left  her  place  in  the  audience  and 
did  not  come  back.  The  empty  seat  stared 
at  Keisman  through  those  first  five  minutes. 
Would  the  others  follow  ?  He  had  not 
been  content  with  merely  blasting  the  pre- 
cedent established  in  the  historic  hall,  but 
had  engaged  the  services  of  one  of  the 
greatest  Negro  trumpet  players  in  the 
country.  The  Negro  did  his  first  chorus 
and  Reisman  and  Loeffler  drew  their  breath 
more  freely.  With  a  sigh,  the  blue-blooded 
audience  had  sat  back  to  enjoy  itself. 

It  was  after  the  Concert  of  Rhythms 
that  the  Reisman  influence  really  took  hold 
and  his  radical  teachings  asserted  them- 
selves. 

"We  were  broadcasting  then,"  he  told 
me.  "We  had  been  the  second  orchestra  to 
go  on  the  air,  I  think.  Vincent  Lopez  made 
his  initial  broadcast  one  week  and  we 
made  ours  on  the  Sunday  following.  I 
like  to  think  that  Lombardo  listened  to 
us  and  that  Rudy  Vallee  found  our  type 
of  music  the  kind  he  could  sing." 

That  was  one  way  of  spreading  his 
gospel  of  rhythm;  the  other  came  about 
when  men  left  his  band  to  organize  their 
own.  Eddie  Duchin  and  Johnny  Green, 
like  his  other  pianists,  are  the  most  fa- 
mous, but  there  are  dozens  of  others.  He 
even  influenced  English  music,  for  he  sent 
Billy  Wagner  to  organize  a  band  in  Lon- 
don. 

Society,  after  battling  tooth  and  nail 
for  its  beloved  noisy  jazz,  capitulated  to 
his  insinuating  music  with  a  rush.  He 
told  me  all  these  things  in  the  ultra-smart 
stronghold  of  the  ultra-elite,  The  Central 
Park  Casino.  He  had  crashed  that — the 
last  retreat.  As  we  talked  amid  the  soft 
lights  and  the  sweet  music,  Irene  Dunne 
danced  by.  Next  came  one  of  the  gayest 
of  the  debutantes.  He  waved  at  them  and 
they  smiled  and  waved  back. 

"If,"  he  said  soberly,  "I  had  done  that 
twenty  years  ago,  their  escorts  would  have 
demanded  an  apology." 

But  Leo,  the  radical,  has  remained  in 
character.  He  gets  a  keen  and  sustained 
enjoyment  from  his  wife  and  four-year- 
old  boy,  whose  name  is— c/ucss ! — Charles 
Martin  Loeffler  Reisman.  And,  as  do  all 
good  empire-changers  when  the  battle  is 
won,  he  wants  a  garden  and  a  home — trees, 
space  and  sunshine. 

"Yes,"  he  concluded,  "I  was  looking 
through  a  little  shop  in  Greenwich  Village 
not  long  ago  and  I  came  across  a  door.  It 
was  a  beautiful  thing — a  door  with  a  story. 
It  seemed  to  epitomize  what  I  want. 

"Well,  if  you'd  like  to  see  that  door 
some  day,  drop  into  my  place  at  Cohasset 
on  Cape  Cod.  I  told  my  architect  to  jack 
it  up  and  build  a  house  around  it,  and  he's 
doing  it  now."

me.  I  can't  disappoint  him.  I've  placed 
a  down  payment  on  a  second-hand  Ford 
and  I'm  going  to  drive  out  with  Mother 
to  visit  him  in  a  few  weeks."  And  darned 
if  she  didn't  drive  that  broken-down  old 
buggy  all  the  way  to  the  Coast  just  to 
make  her  parents  happy !  Now  she's  back 
here  again,  never  a  word  about  regretting 
that  wonderful  chance  she  missed.  There's 
a  hard-boiled,  selfish,  chiseling  chorus- 
girl  daughter  for  you! 

"And  she's  not  the  only  one.  Look  at 
Helen  Oakes."  He  pointed  to  a  gay,  daz- 
zling little  dancer  who  looked  as  though 
her  biggest  problem  was  what  date  to  go 
with  after  the  show.  "Helen's  father  died 
the  opening  night,  and  her  mother  already 
was  dead.  Helen  wept  back  stage,  but 
when  the  show  went  on  she  dried  her 
eyes  and  was  a  bubbly,  gay  chorus-girl 
again.  She  never  missed  a  night.  Why? 
'Granny,'  she  told  me,  'there  are  five  kids 
left  and  I'm  the  oldest.  The  youngest  is 
three  and  the  one  next  to  me  is  thirteen. 
I've  got  to  take  care  of  them  all.  Don't 
you  see?  I  can't  afford  to  miss  a  day's 
work.'  Helen  needed  money  to  pay  for 
an  eye  operation  for  the  baby,  so  she  got 
a  job  in  a  Broadway  show  and  worked 
here  before  and  after  the  show  and  then 
did  commercial  posing  during  the  day.  On 
the  jump  from  one  place  to  another,  morn- 
ing, noon  and  night,  until  she  was  almost 
worn  to  a  frazzle.  But,  as  she  explained 
to  me,  who  was  going  to  pay  the  doctor's 
bills? 

"They're  a  plucky  bunch,  who  keep 
smiles  on  their  faces  and  their  chins  up. 
Always.  Look — there's  another."  This 
time  the  long,  thin  finger  singled  out  a 
green-eyed  red-head,  who  looked  as  lux- 
urious and  feline  as  a  Persian  cat  and  as 
mercenary  as  Delilah.  "She  was  one  of 
the  few  who  realized  every  show  girl's 
dream.  She  married  a  millionaire.  She 
left  the  show  and  rode  around  in  a  His- 
pana-Suiza  with  a  liveried  chauffeur.  She 
had  maids,  yachts,  a  home  in  Southampton 
and  all  that  sort  of  thing.  Then  her  hus- 
band started  to  gamble  and  made  unwise 
investments  and  the  bottom  dropped  out. 
Every  cent  gone.  Sunk.  So  what  did  she 
do?  Run  out  on  him?  Bawl  him  out? 
Nag  him?  Not  on  your  life!  She  came 
right  back  here  and  started  to  kick  her 
heels  in  the  chorus  again.  She  rides  in 
subways  now  and  is  saving  her  money  to 
start  her  husband  on  a  new  business  ven- 
ture. And  if  he  fails  again,  you  can  bet 
your  last  dollar  that  she'll  stick  by  him ! 
That's  your  gold-digging  chorus  girl. 

"Not  that  they're  all  so  sweet.  Some 
can't  take  it.  The  night  life  goes  to  their 
heads.  One  kid  from  California  started  to 
hit  it  high.  Went  to  all  the  parties  she 
was  invited  to,  drank  and  stayed  out  all 
night.  Consequently,  she  would  come  in 
late,  yawning  and  tired,  often  she  missed 
the  shows  altogether.    I  gave  her  train 


fare  and  sent  her  back  home.  So  you  see, 
the  dizzy,  flighty  chorus  girls — the  kind 
you  read  about  who  lead  the  gay,  glam- 
orous lives,  are  the  ones  who  don't  last. 
The  typical  chorus  girl — the  one  who  is 
most  in  demand  by  producers  from  season 
to  season,  is  the  hard-working,  dependable 
one. 

"Why,  dammit,"  he  hit  the  table,  "it 
makes  me  mad  to  hear  these  girls  regarded 
as  'immoral'  by  some  people.  My  girls 
are  never  in  contact  with  men  here. 
They're  not  allowed  to  mingle  with  the 
patrons.  They're  a  sweet,  decent  bunch 
of  kids  and  " 

The  orchestra  died  down.  That  was  his 
cue.  He  suddenly  jumped  up  and  left  us, 
those  long  legs  made  a  l>ee-line  for  the 
floor  and  he  was  in  the  center  of  the 
bright  stage,  once  again  the  genial 
N.  T.  G.,  the  wise-cracking  master  of  cere- 
monies with  a  flock  of  beauties  clustered 
about  him. 

While  he  was  up  there,  it  gave  us  a 
chance  to  think  back  to  the  time  when 
Granny,  like  a  Sir  Gallahad  on  a  white 
horse,  rode  to  the  defense  of  the  girls  who 
worked  in  New  York  night  clubs.  It 
happened  several  years  ago  and  at  that 
time  the  girls  had  to  mingle  with  the 
men  patrons,  sit  at  their  tables  and  drink 
with  them.  N.  T.  G.  changed  the  whole 
cafe  scene  when  he  joined  Texas  Guinan's 
El  Fey  Club  and  issued  the  order :  "No 
girl  is  allowed  to  sit  at  the  tables  and 
mingle  with  any  of  the  guests."  The 
Broadway  wiseacres  thought  he  was  writ- 
ing his  own  death  sentence.  You  couldn't 
get  away  with  such  an  edict,  they  rea- 
soned. It  would  drive  away  the  male 
customers.  But,  surprisingly  enough,  the 
El  Fey  Club  flourished  as  it  never  had 
before.  The  seed  of  virtue  had  been 
planted  in  the  Broadway  soil  and  it 
bloomed  with  a  fragrant  odor.  Soon  the 
other  cafes  fell  in  line,  and  today  all  the 
chorus  girls  are  protected  by  that  rule  in 
the  New  York  clubs — all,  that  is,  except 
those  outsiders  who  work  in  the  under- 
ground "clip  joints." 

N.  T.  G.  was  back.  "I'm  going  to  give 
these  kids  a  hand.  They  need  one.  The 
career  of  an  average  chorus  girl  doesn't 
last  more  than  five  years.  They  want  to 
rise  above  it,  become  famous  stars  just 
as  much  as  any  movie  or  stage-struck 
schoolgirl  in  Kahoozis.  That's  why  I'm 
bringing  them  to  the  air.  A  sort  of  'pro- 
fessional-amateur' night.  I  want  to  give 
them  a  chance  to  be  heard  and  discovered. 
If  it  hadn't  been  for  that  lucky  chance  to 
be  heard  or  seen,  Joan  Crawford,  Ruby 
Keeler,  Barbara  Stanwyck  and  Ginger 
Rogers  would  never  have  graduated  from 
the  chorus  to  stardom." 

It's  no  secret  to  those  who  know  their 
Broadway  that  Granny's  been  behind  the 
success  of  most  of  the  chorus  girls  who've 
reached  the  top.

"Nothing  pleases  me  more  than  to  see 
my  babies  make  good."  He  toyed  ab- 
sently with  his  fork,  his  eyes  looked  be- 
yond the  Paradise  into  the  past.  "I  11 
never  forget  the  day,  about  ten  years  ago, 
when  I  was  personal  publicity  agent  for 
the  late  Marcus  Loew.  A  young  girl 
with  blue  eyes  and  dark  hair  walked  into 
my  office.  Said  her  name  was  Lucille 
La  Seur  and  she  was  a  chorus  girl  out 
of  a  job.  She  wore  an  awful,  ill-fitting 
dress,  her  big  eyes  were  red  from  crying. 

"I  immediately  phoned  Harry  Richman 
and  he  said  he'd  put  her  in  his  Club 
Richman  show  on  my  recommendation. 
That  was  that,  I  thought.  Three  days 
later  she  popped  into  my  office  once  more, 
crying  again.  'Well,  what's  the  matter 
now?'  I  asked  impatiently.  She  needed 
an  evening  gown  for  the  show,  she  said, 
and  she  hadn't  any  money  with  which  to 
buy  one.  I  gave  her  the  money  to  buy 
one,  just  to  get  rid  of  her,  and  she  bought 
fourteen-dollar  gown.  Back  she  came 
to  my  office  and  insisted  upon  trying  it  on 
so  that  I  could  see  how  she  looked  in  it. 

told  her  to  go  behind  the  screen  and 
change.  Just  as  she  was  throwing  her 
dress  over  the  screen,  who  should  walk 
in  but — you  guessed  it ! — Marcus  Loew, 
the  big  boss  himself !  I  was  in  a  panic ! 
What  an  embarrassing  spot!  Here  was  a 
lovely  young  girl  undressing  behind  a 
screen  in  my  office !  The  true  story  would 
never  be  believed,  so  I  started  to  talk  fast 
and  furious  to  cover  my  confusion  and 
get  Mr.  Loew's  mind  away  from  the  in- 
cident— I  hadn't  been  a  press  agent  for 
nothing!  'Mr.  Loew,  here's  a  wonderful 
bet  for  pictures.  She'll  be  a  coming  star 
— blah  blah  blah.'  I  kept  on  talking  like 
this  until,  to  my  surprise,  he  really  began 
to  get  interested.  Then  the  girl  came  out 
and  stared  at  him  with  her  big  baby  eyes 
and  darned  if  she  didn't  have  an  appoint- 
ment for  a  movie  test  before  he  left !  On 
the  strength  of  that  test  she  was  signed 
by  Loew's  company,  Metro-Goldwyn- 
Mayer,  and  was  sent  out  to  Hollywood. 
There  she  changed  her  name  to  Joan 
Crawford — and  the  rest  is  history. 

"And  there's  another  sweet  chorine 
who's  in  the  big  star  class  today.  I  was 
running  contests  in  the  various  night  clubs, 
around  1923,  when  I  first  met  her.  I 
was  in  one  club,  ready  to  put  on  my 
'dancing  contest'  when  Larry  Ceballos 
brought  over  a  shabbily  dressed  little 
thing  about  thirteen  years  old.  'Here's  a 
little  Irish  girl.  Ruby  Keeler,  for  your 
dancing  contest,'  he  said.  I  took  one  look 
at  her.  Put  this  scrawny  child  with  her 
heavy  shoes  out  on  that  night  club  floor 
in  competition  with  my  glamorous  beau- 
ties! But  Ceballos  insisted  and  I  finally 
:onsented.  Well,  when  she  got  out  on 
the  floor  and  started  to  tap,  you  forgot 
ill  about  her  awful  clothes  and  those 
thick-soled  shoes.  What  a  sensation !  She 
won  the  prize.  I  offered  her  a  job  with 
my  show  and  she  seized  the  opportunity. 
Her  mother  was  always  with  her.  That 
?irl  had  the  greatest  capacity  for  work. 
She'd  take  every  job  that  was  handed  to 
ler.  She  needed  the  money  because  she 
was  supporting  the  whole  Keeler  family, 
which  consisted  of  about  four  or  five 
'ounger  sisters.  She  worked  for  me  until 
midnight,  and  I  got  her  a  job  at  Guinan's 
from  twelve  to  four.  It  was  at  Guinan's

think  that  marrying  one  of  the  most  fa- 
mous and  richest  singers  in  the  world 
affected  the  size  of  her  head?  Not  in  the 
least.  She  followed  my  act  around  as 
though  she  still  worked  in  it,  and  in  be- 
tween shows  she'd  call  for  the  girls  back- 
stage and  take  them  for  a  ride  in  her 
imported  Minerva  car.  She  knew  from 
experience  how  uncomfortable  it  is  sitting 
in  a  hot  dressing-room  between  per- 
formances. 

"Peggy  Shannon  was  made  of  the  same 

stuff.    Peggy  "  back  he  raced  to  the 

floor  again  to  introduce  a  new  batch  of 
beauties.  The  orchestra  blared  up,  a  half- 
dozen  languorous  show-girls  floated  out — 
and  Granny  was  back  at  our  table. 

"Peggy  Shannon,"  he  continued  evenly, 
as  though  there  had  been  no  interruption, 
"is  another  chorus  girl  who  lifted  herself 
by  her  own  bootstraps  and  landed  herself 
n  Hollywood.  She  was  working  for  Earl 
Carroll  at  one  hundred  dollars  a  week, 
when  she  suddenly  got  the  urge  to  act. 
Nothing  could  stop  her.  She  left  Carroll 
and  the  hundred  a  week  and  joined  a  stock 
company  at  thirty-five  dollars.  And  wait 
— of  that  money  she  had  to  furnish  her 
own  stage  wardrobe.  There  was  a  new 
play  every  week,  which  meant  that  almost 
her  whole  salary  was  gone  on  clothes. 
The  hours  were  terrific,  what  with  re- 
hearsing for  next  week's  plays  all  day 
long.  Carroll  wanted  her  back  and  of- 
fered her  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars 
and — think  of  it — the  kid  had  the  pluck  to 
turn  it  down !  There's  a  money-mad 
chorine  for  you!  Believe  me,  she  deserved 
that  break  in  the  movies ! 

'  There  are  girls  in  my  show  today  who 
are  going  to  follow  in  Crawford's,  Keeler's 
and  Shannon's  footsteps  because  they  have 
that  same  driving  ambition,  that  same 
will  to  get  ahead.  Edith  Roarke  is  one. 
She  was  one  of  the  most  beautiful  girls  in 
my  show.  She's  the  sort  of  girl  who  is  a 
Broadway  columnist's  meat.  You  know, 
seen  at  the  smartest  places  with  the  town's 
leading  blades.  'Edith  Roarke  was  at  the 
May  fair  with  Harry  Richtnan  last  night' 
— 'Edith  Roarke  and  So-and-So  'were  danc- 
ing at  the  Versailles,'  and  so  on.  Just  a 
dizzy  playgirl.  A  typical  dumb,  party- 
going  showgirl.  Well,  I'll  tell  you  how 
dizzy  and  dumb  she  is.  Edith  wants  to 
become  a  dramatic  actress.  So  she's 
studying  voice  and  diction  and  singing  and 
French  No  matter  where  she  is — it  could 
be  the  most  brilliant  party  of  the  year — 
she  leaves  early  and  goes  home  so  that  she 
can  get  up  refreshed  the  next  day  and 
continue  her  studies.  Believe  it  or  not! 
Why,  I  remember  at  one  of  these  parties 
she  had  a  group  of  some  of  the  richest

love  of  a  poor  but  honest  man.  I  thought 
it  was  bunk  in  its  bunkiest  form. 

But  darned  if  it  is!  It's  really  true 
sometimes. 

And  after  you've  read  the  missing  ro- 
mance chapter  of  Virginia  Verrill's  life, 
you  can  count  the  change  in  your  coin 
purse,  take  a  big  gloating  look  at  that 
honey  of  yours  who  tells  you  when  and 
where  you  can  step,  and  feel  as  ultra-ultra 


young  men  in  America — great  'catches' 
they  were — swarming  around  her,  and  she 
left  the  whole  bunch  flat  to  go  home  be- 
cause she  had  a  dramatic  lesson  at  ten 
o'clock  the  next  morning.  She  has  the 
chorus  girl's  creed:  'If  a  man  can't  do  me 
any  good,  he's  not  going  to  do  me  any 
harm.'  The  last  time  I  saw  Edith  she 
was  in  a  little  theatre  playing  in  stock  for 
the  training.  The  money  there  didn't  com- 
pare with  her  showgirl  salary  and  the 
work  was  more  strenuous.  She'll  go 
places,  that  girl !  Yet  I'll  wager  this 
whole  Paradise  cabaret  against  your 
cocktail  that  when  she  does  get  to  the  top 
people  will  wink  knowingly  and  say:  'Just 
another  lucky  chorus  girl  who  knew  the 
right  men'." 

No  wonder  Granny  thinks  so  highly  of 
his  girls.  And  to  prove  it,  he  plucked 
his  own  wife  right  out  of  a  "Vanities" 
front  line.  She  was  Rose  Wenzel,  one  of 
the  most  sought-after  little  dancers  on 
Broadway.  Blonde  and  lovely  with  a  pert 
face  and  a  slim,  chorusy  figure,  she  could 
go  back  to  show  business  today,  but  she 
much  prefers  l>eing  Granny's  wife.  And  his 
sister-in-law  is  Eileen  Wenzel,  a  stately, 
brunette  show-girl.  Do  chorus  girls- make 
good  wives?  Rose  comes  to  the  Paradise 
every  night  just  to  be  with  him,  and 
Granny,  a  contented  hubby  if  I  ever  saw 
one,  says:  "If  we  have  any  daughters 
they're  going  to  be  chorus  girls,  too!"  So 
there ! 

This  radio  program  isn't  N.  T.  G.'s  first 
venture  into  radio.  Old-timers  of  the 
crystal-set  days  will  remember  when 
Granny  ran  the  tiny  WHN  radio  station 
single-handed,  putting  on  a  four-hour 
show  nightly.  He  brought  all  of  his 
Broadway  pals  to  the  microphone  then. 
Eddie  Cantor,  George  Jessel,  Jolson,  Rich- 
man — all  were  introduced  to  the  air  for 
the  first  time  by  the  exuberant  N.  T.  G. 

"I  brought  my  'babies'  to  the  air  then 
and  I'm  going  to  bring  them  to  the  air 
now.  I  want  everyone  to  see  them  as  the 
sweet,  decent  kids  they  really  are." 

So  now  you  know  what  radio's  newest 
purveyor  of  beauty  thinks  of  chorus  girls. 

And  what  do  they  think  of  him? 

"Oh,  Granny — Granny."  A  starry-eyed 
blonde  with  glistening  deep-red  lips  rushes 
to  our  table.  "Granny,  my  boy  friend  is 
here  waiting  for  me.  You  must  meet  him 
and  tell  me  what  you  think  of  him." 

She  pulls  him  away  with  her. 

That  summed  it  up.  Father  confessor, 
adviser,  champion — "Granny"  to  them  all. 

And  fifty  thousand  chorus  girls  can't  be 
wrong ! 

The  End 


as  you  want  to.  At  least  you've  got  your 
private  version  of  a  caveman. 

And  Virginia  Verrill  hasn't. 

"Vee,"  you  probably  know,  is  the  first 
star  ever  to  arrive  at  the  networks  via 
the  "dubbing"  route.  "Dubbing"  means 
doubling,  and  it  came  in  with  the  talkies. 
Somebody  had  to  sing  for  the  screen  ac- 
tresses who  couldn't.  And  whenever  you've 
sat  in  the  movies  and  thought  you  were 


RADIO  STARS 


hearing  the  chants  of  Jean  Harlow,  Ruby 
Keeler,  Barbara  Stanwyck,  Jean  Parker, 
Ginger  Rogers  and  some  more,  you've  ac- 
tually been  listening  to  the  voice  of  Vir- 
ginia Verrill.  So  you've  really  known  her 
for  a  long,  long  time. 

She  didn't  aspire  to  radio  stardom,  but 
her  career  sort  of  uppcd  and  happened  any- 
way. She  made  her  debut  in  pictures  with- 
out a  screen  test,  her  debut  on  the  air 
without  an  audition.  And  if  neither  event 
had  bothered  to  happen  it  wouldn't  have 
bothered  Virginia.  For  at  the  time  she 
was  too  young  and  gay  to  want  to  be 
famous  and  too  wealthy  to  want  anything 
she  didn't  already  have. 

(And  if  that  makes  you  think  some  girls 
have  all  the  luck — don't  forget  what  this 
story's  about.) 

The  Verrill  homestead  was  a  twenty- 
room  mansion  in  Santa  Monica  Canyon. 
Mr.  Verrill  was  one  of  the  original  land- 
owners in  Hollywood  and  Mrs.  Verrill  was 
a  former  vaudeville  headliner.  And  Vee, 
their  only  child,  had  everything  it  takes  to 
make  little  girls  happy  and  gay.  The 
Pacific  in  her  front  yard  and  snow-capped 
peaks  in  her  back  yard  and  a  pony  cart  and 
dolls  and  dogs  and  a  swimming  pool  and  a 
governess.   And  a  voice. 

It  was  strange  about  that  voice,  because 
it  was  always  so  much  older  than  she  was. 
From  babyhood  her  singing  tones  were 
far  more  mature  than  her  years.  Once 
when  she  was  four,  Paul  Whiteman,  who 
was  a  friend  of  her  parents,  lifted  her  up 
on  a  Los  Angeles  bandstand  to  croon  "/ 
Never  Knew  I  Could  Love  Anybody"  and 
the  audience  suspected  ventriloquism  and 
not  Virginia.  They  simply  couldn't  be- 
lieve such  hot  torch-toting  of  such  a  tiny 
tot.  So  to  prove  herself  she  stood  in  the 
middle  of  the  dance-floor  and  went  through 
three  encores  like  a  veteran. 

Eight  years  later  movie-goers  saw  Bar- 
bara Stanwyck  in  her  first  talkie  "Taxi 
Dance".  At  one  point  in  the  picture,  weary- 
eyed,  wearing  a  tawdry  lace  evening  dress, 
Miss  Stanwyck  swayed  before  a  black  cur- 
tain and  moaned  the  now  familiar  tune : 

Ten  cents  a  dance,  that's  what  they  pay  me, 
Oh  how  they  weigh  me  down  .  .  . 
Butchers  and  tailors  and  bozi'-legged  sailors 
Can  all  buy  my  love  for  a  dime — 

Wouldn't  those  movie-goers  have  died 
if  they'd  known  that  the  voice  of  the  lead- 
ing lady  came  from  a  twelve-year-old  girl 
with  long  curls  and  starry  eyes,  wearing 
a  middy-blouse  and  bloomers,  mike-fright- 
ened to  death  and  clutching  very  tightly 
her  mother's  hand. 

Virginia  Verrill  had  done  her  first 
"dubbing." 

Also  middy-bloused  and  bloomered, 
standing  on  the  set  watching,  were  her  best 
chums  Madge  Evans  and  Benay  Venuta — 
who  were  later  to  shine  themselves  in  pic- 
tures and  radio  respectively — very  excited 
over  a  trip  to  a  studio  and  Vee's  ten-cents- 
a-dancing,  after  school,  for  fifty  dollars  an 
hour. 

From  that  day  on  her  career  just  hap- 
pened. She  received  an  audition-less  invi- 
tation to  sing  on  the  popular  "California 
Melodies"  program.  Director  W.  S.  Van 
Dyke  of  the  M-G-M  chanced  to  be  listen- 
ing, sent  her  a  wire  to  report  on  the  lot 
next  day.  Adrian  fitted  twenty  yards  of 
red  velvet  on  her  twenty  minutes  after  she 
arrived,  while   Percy  Westmore  scooped 


her  curls  up  in  a  puff  and  glorified  her 
Cupid's  bow,  and  Vee  sang  ".-///  /  Do  Is 
Dream  Of  You"  over  her  shoulder  at  the 
camera.  You  saw  and  heard  that  in  the 
picture  "Hide-out." 

Before  long  she  had  all  the  microphone 
and  movie  work  she  could  handle,  what 
with  completing  Hollywood  High  School 
at  the  same  time.  She  was  soloist  with 
Orville  Knapp's  band,  vocalist  at  the 
Colony  Club  and  the  Cocoanut  Grove,  fea- 
tured singer  for  a  time  on  the  "Hollywood 
Hotel"  program,  and  her  latest  "dubbing" 
was  for  Jean  Harlow  in  "Reckless."  West 
coast  radio  officials  and  Paramount  were 
so  taken  with  her  talents  they  both 
proffered  long-term  contracts.  But  Vee's 
mother,  wise  to  the  ways  of  show  busi- 
ness, considered  her  eighteen-year-old 
daughter,  too  young  to  undertake  a  real 
acting  career. 

So  radio  won  and  Virginia  recently  ar- 
rived at  the  Promised  Land  of  all  micro- 
phone artists — New  York. 

And  now  that  you  have  the  Verrill  vital 
statistics  we'll  go  back  and  get  the  senti- 
mental part  of  this  story. 

Now  it's  hard,  at  first,  to  believe  a  girl 
like  Vee  can't  find  romance.  She  has  five- 
feet-three  of  chorus  girl  figure,  green  eyes 
with  lashes  so  long  they  actually  tangle 
sometimes  when  she  laughs,  and  a  tilted 
nose  like  Myrna  Loy's.  She  spends  her 
mornings  sleeping  late  in  her  Park  Avenue 
apartment,  her  afternoons  rehearsing  at 
Radio  City,  and  her  evenings  singing  for 
society  a-top  the  fashionable  Biltmore  Ho- 
tel. And  if  there  exist  any  more  attrac- 
tive young  men  than  a  girl  would  run  into 
around  those  three  zones,  then  I  don't 
know  my  masculine  map  of  Manhattan. 
On  top  of  it  all  she  has  a  charming  young 
mother  who  entertains  beautifully  for  her 
daughter  and  all  the  younger  set  of  radio. 

Vee  gets  around  plenty,  too.  She  hasn't 
been  in  New  York  long,  but  she  could  tell 
you  the  headwaiter's  name  in  any  of  the 
swankier  night  spots.  She's  met  all  the 
eligibles  worth  getting  excited  over,  she's 
been  dated  and  feted  and  danced  and  gar- 
denia-d  and  pursued  and  proposed  to  till 
it  would  make  your  head  swim.  Not  only 
in  New  York— ditto  in  Hollywood,  since 
she's  grown  up. 

Her  whole  life,  in  fact,  has  the  perfect 
butterfly  build  up  for  a  de-luxe  modern  love 
story.  All  the  moonlight  and  tuxedos  and 
gay  little  Gladys  Parker  gowns  and  soft 
music  and  sweet  nothings  love  stories  need 
to  make  them  glamorous.  Every  single 
item — but  the  love.  That's  the  missing  ro- 
mance chapter  of  Virginia  Verrill's  life. 

And  do  you  know  why  ?  Why  she  can't 
fall  in  love,  no  matter  how  hard  she  tries? 
It's  the  simplest  but  most  doggone  feminine 
reason  in  the  world :  no  man  has  rvcr  been 
a  mcanie  to  her  and  made  her  like  it! 

Just  because  she's  a  pretty  little  celebrity 
who's  always  had  everything  she's  ever 
wanted,  including  a  career,  men  treat  her 
like  a  pretty  little  celebrity  who's  supposed 
to  keep  on  having  everything  she  wants. 
They  have  the  notion  that  she  must  be 
handled  in  cotton  batting  like  a  china 
dolly,  and  humored.  Not  one  in  the  lot 
has  ever  stopped  treating  her  like  a  radio 
star  long  enough  to  swear  he'll  walk  out 
of  her  life  forever  if  she  gives  that  mid- 
shipman a  date,  or  put  his  foot  down  flatly 
on  going  dancing  "again  tonight!" 

And  Vee  is  unspoiled  and  sane  and  swell

enough  to  have  to  be  treated  like  a  regu- 
lar girl  in  order  to  really  fall  in  love. 

She  doesn't  quite  realize  that,  though. 
She  only  realizes  that  there's  something 
else  she  wants  beside  all  the  hubbub  and 
and  adoration.  She  tried  to  tell  me  the 
other  day,  in  her  very  naive  and  eighteen- 
year-old  fashion,  how  it  is.  The  other  day 
when  we  sat  over  tea  on  her  terrace  and 
discussed  everything  from  clothes  to  goo- 
fus  animals  to  fingernail  polish  to — inevit- 
ably, men. 

She  said:  "Men — boys,  rather — are  too 
nice  to  me  and  I  just  can't  fall  for  them. 
Please  don't  think  I'm  bragging  or  con- 
ceited or  snooty  or  anything  when  I  say 
that — I'm  not  any  of  those  things.  But 
honest  they  are  too  sweet.  The  boys  I  meet 
try  too  hard  to  please  me — they  make  me 
say  how  we'll  spend  the  evening — they 
compliment  me  too  much — they — " 

Suddenly  she  broke  off.  thoroughly  em- 
barrassed. "Gosh,  it's  awful,  telling  some- 
body who's  going  to  write  a  story  about 
you  that  all  the  dates  you  have  always 
try  to  be  too  nice  to  you.  Look — please 
do  understand — " 

It  was  mean  of  me,  understanding,  to 
sit  there  with  an  expression  like  the  Great 
Stone  Face  and  let  her  go  on  trying  des- 


perately to  make  herself  clear.  I  wanted 
to  see  how  she'd  finish,  though.    She  did. 

"She  said:  "But  darn  it.  you  can't  fall 
for  boys  who  are  always  too  sweet,  can 
you?  I  told  mother  last  night  I  never 
could  fall  in  love  with  anybody  who 
wouldn't  just  absolutely  boss  me,"  and  she 
laughed.  "But  you  see — well,  it  may  sound 
silly  but  I've  got  to  have  somebody  who'll 
make  me  look  up  to  him  and  make  me 
walk  a  chalk  line  and  please  him  and 
worry  about  him  and — 

"Oh,  do  forget  all  this.  Please  do.  I've 
bungled  it  so  terribly.  You  asked  me  why 
I'd  never  fallen  in  love  yet  and  I  tried  to 
tell  you  really  why  and — " 

You  did.  And  you  told  me  lots  about 
Virginia  Yerrill,  too.  That  she's  just 
plain  wholesome  girl  enough  to  want  her 
beaux  to  be  the  approved,  Grade  A.  draw- 
ing-room variety  of  caveman  and  not  just 
romantic  cavaliers  with  a  repertoire  of 
sweet-sounding  speeches  and  a  reservation 
at  the  Rainbow  Room. 

And  I  not  only  think  that's  swell,  but  I 
think  it's  high  time  some  of  those  beaux — 
the  big  boobies ! — caught  on.  You  see,  I 
want  to  write  that  romance  chapter,  too — 
when  it's  no  longer  "missing." 

The  End 


'Take  a  'Tip  fitom  Henay 

(Continued  from  page  42) 


scribed  her  first  dinner  there : 

"Their  dining-room  was  enormous,  and 
the  huge  table  beautifully  set  with  rare 
old  silver.  There  were  huge  water  pitch- 
ers of  silver.  Champagne  was  served  in 
them !  When  I  sat  down,  servants  were 
wheeling  in  on  carts  enormous  cans  set 
in  blocks  of  ice.  Caviar!" 

So  overawed  had  Benay  been  by  the 
splendor  of  her  surroundings,  drinking  it 
all  in,  that  she  hadn't  noticed  her  dinner 
companion  at  her  left. 

"Oh  my."  she  breathed.  "Imagine  serv- 
ing champagne  like  that!" 

At  her  left,  a  tall,  brown-eyed,  brown- 
haired  young  man  scowled  at  her  in  dis- 
approval. But  when  his  eyes  met  hers, 
blue,  round  as  saucers  with  wonder  and 
delight,  his  expression  changed.  A  dimple 
showed  in  his   right  cheek. 

"I've  never  been  in  a  place  like  this  be- 
fore," she  breathed.  "In  America,  it's  all 
so  different." 

The  young  man  leaned  toward  Benay, 
his  eyes  approving  her  slim  figure,  beau- 
tifully moulded  under  her  simple  white 
organdy  evening  frock. 

"Dm  hist  xvie  cine  blitmc,"  he  whispered. 
"Beautiful!"  And  then  followed  a  flood 
of  German. 

She  didn't  understand  a  word  of  it — 
but  no  one  had  to  tell  her  that  he  was  com- 
plimenting her.  He  spoke  very  little  Eng- 
lish. She  spoke  no  German  at  all.  It 
wasn't  till  he  switched  to  French  that  she 
understood  his  extravagant  phrases.  And 
thanked  her  lucky  stars  that  the  teachers 
at  Beaupre  had  insisted  upon  her  mastering 
this  language. 

After  dinner,  servants  brought  them 
Benedictine.  "You  will  have  a  drink,  no?" 
he  inquired. 

Benay  shook  her  head  no.  Her  heart 
was  too  full  for  speech.  She  needed  no 
stimulant.    Gently,  caressingly,  his  hand 


touched  for  an  instant  her  shiny,  wavy  hair. 

"My  California  Gold,"  he  said.  And  that 
was  his  name  for  her  during  the  idyllic 
days  that  followed. 

A  little  later  they  danced,  and  the  young 
Baron  Heinrich  forgot  his  stiffness,  his 
reserve.  Benay  followed  him  faultlessly. 
"It  was  as  if  we  were  floating  on  air," 
she  told  me.  "I've  danced  with  profes- 
sional dancers  time  and  again.  But  never 
the  way  we  danced  that  night." 

Finally,  the  guests  began  to  whisper 
among  themselves.  That  young  American 
girl !  The  Baron!  What  n-ould  his  family 
say? 

Fortunately,  his  family  wasn't  there  to 
see.  or  to  hear  the  whispered  words  of 
endearment  that  poured  from  his  young, 
eager  heart.  Later,  when  the  rest  of  the 
guests  had  gone  to  sleep,  when  the  night 
was  hushed,  two  youngsters  stood  out  on 
the  porch,  looking  down  at  the  ice-covered 
lakes  and  mountain  slopes.  There  were 
three  lakes  together,  a  frozen  white  mass 
in  the  starry  night.  Heinrich  had  thrown 
his  great-coat  over  her  slim  shoulders ; 
both  were  covered  by  its  protecting  folds. 

"I  love  you!"  he  whispered. 

"I  love  you !"  she  answered  breathlessly. 

Early  the  next  morning,  before  the  rest 
of  the  guests  were  stirring.  Benay  dressed 
in  her  flame-red  skiing  suit,  brushed  her 
fine  golden  hair  till  each  strand  shone  like 
California  sunshine,  and  rushed  down  to 
the   dining-room   for  breakfast. 

Heinrich  was  waiting  for  her  in  the  din- 
ing-room, as  they  had  arranged.  He  looked 
so  fine  and  straight  and  clean  in  his  brown 
woolen  skiing  suit,  she  grew  tongue-tied 
with  happiness. 

And  in  that  huge  room  the  two  break- 
fasted together  every  morning,  long  be- 
fore the  others  were  up.  It  was  as  if 
they  were  shut  apart  from  the  rest  of  the 
world.     Shut   in,   to  happiness — together.

RADIO  STARS 


Benay  didn't  know  how  to  ski,  so  Hein- 
rich  taught  her.  Every  morning  they  went 
to  one  of  the  many  practice  slopes.  For 
an  hour,  patiently,  gently,  he  would  guide 
her.  Then,  laughing  happily,  they  would 
repair  to  one  of  the  many  confectionery 
shops  of  St.  Moritz,  where  all  the  young 
crowd  gathered,  for  hot  chocolate  and  de- 
licious frosted  cookies. 

After  lunch  they  would  go  skating.  Or 
go  bob-sledding  down  the  famous  Cresta 
Run,  or  luging  in  tiny  sleds  which  went 
so  fast  you  couldn't  breathe.  And  at  night, 
after  dinner,  they  would  steal  away  to  go 
riding  in  one  of  the  old  horse-driven 
sleighs,  up  and  down  the  quiet  mountain- 
side. 

On  these  long,  quiet  rides  in  the  dead 
of  night,  when  St.  Moritz  lay  like  a  huge 
misty  bowl  beneath  them,  Heinrich  told 
Benay  all  about  his  life,  of  the  enormous 
estate  his  family  owned  along  the  Rhine, 
which  passed  from  generation  to  genera- 
tion, each  successive  family  being  trained 
to  spend  life  peacefully,  easily,  gracefully. 

And  Benay  tried  to  explain  the  different 
life  in  her  America,  where  men  and  wo- 
men both  worked,  and  tried  to  carve  out 
lives  for  themselves.  How  she  had  longed 
since  tiny  girlhood  to  be  a  great  star,  and 
how  she  had  dreamed  of  a  career. 

"I  suppose  you  will  be  going  home  to 
America  to  make  your  debut,"  Heinrich 
said. 

"Oh,  no,"  Benay  laughed.  "I've  made 
my  debut,  in  the  chorus  of  Fanchon  and 
Marco !" 

She  painted  the  mad,  crazy  life  of  Hol- 
lywood, told  him  of  her  struggle  to  get 
ahead.  She  told  him  of  her  tour  with  the 
Ackerman  and  Hart,  nicknamed  "The 
Aching  Heart,"  vaudeville  circuit ;  of  the 
one-night  stands  they  made  in  two-by-four 
towns.  She  told  him  of  the  time  when 
she  was  flat  broke,  stranded  in  Seattle. 
And  how  her  pride  would  not  permit  her 
to  wire  for  aid  to  her  folks,  who  disap- 
proved of  the  whole  business.  She  went 
around  to  night  clubs,  speakeasies,  beg- 
ging for  a  chance  to  sing. 

Finally,  at  the  Hotel  Bristol,  they  had 
agreed  to  let  her  go  on.  That  night,  when 
she  was  dressing,  one  of  the  hotel  officials 
had  knocked  at  her  door,  ostensibly  to  go 
over  her  music  with  her.  He  had  a  flask 
to  help  him  along. 

Before  long  she  realized  what  she  was 
up  against.  Baldly  put,  it  was  "either  you 
come  across,  or  you  can't  sing  here !" 

Heinrich's  strong  hand,  over  hers, 
clenched  tightly,  as  she  told  him  how  she 
had  sparred  for  time  till  her  tortured  brain 
hit  on  a  scheme.  Drink  after  drink  she 
fed  the  visitor.  And  when  he  fell  into  an 
alcoholic  stupor  she  rang  for  a  bellhop 
to  remove  him,  and  went  down  and  did  her 
number,  unmolested. 

"Never  again  will  you  have  such  an  ex- 
perience, my  sweet,"  Heinrich  said  broken- 
ly, gathering  her  into  his  arms.  "You  shall 
live  like  a  queen,  with  nothing  to  worry 
your  gold  head  except  what  pretty  dresses 
to  wear.  You  shall  see  how  happy  we  will 
be!" 

Perhaps,  had  love  not  been  such  a  po- 
tent drug,  she  would  have  realized  that 
such  a  life  was  not  for  her— that  she 
wanted  independence,  striving,  danger— 
that,  once  the  glamor  of  being  a  Baroness 
had  worn  off.  she  would  not  be  able  to  live 
in  a  world  of  shadows.     But  love  and 


youth  and  the  adorable  Heinrich  bending 
over  her  stilled  any  warnings  she  might 
have  felt. 

The  Christmas  holiday  passed  all  too 
quickly.  Tearfully  the  young  sweethearts 
tore  themselves  away  from  each  other.  He 
had  written  his  parents  of  his  great  love 
for  this  American  girl,  and  they  had  wired 
they  were  coming  to  St.  Moritz  at  once. 

Benay  had  to  go  back  to  school.  It  was 
arranged  that  she  should  visit  with  his 
family  during  the  Spring  vacation,  and 
that  they  would  be  married  in  the  sum- 
mer, directly  after  she  graduated.  They 
would  spend  their  honeymoon  at  St. 
Moritz,  where  they  had  met. 

Back  at  school,  Benay  had  her  dreams 
of  Heinrich,  tall,  kind,  gentle  Heinrich. 
Perhaps  she  might  persuade  him  to  come 
to  the  United  States,  where  she  could  con- 
tinue her  career.  He  was  modern,  broad- 
minded,  not  like  other  stiff-necked  no- 
bility she  had  met. 

Daily  she  waited  for  word  from  him.  But 
only  a  post-card  came — which  said : 

"/  send  best  wishes  for  a  haf>f>y  New 
Year  from  the  best  place  ivhcrc  I  with  you." 

She  was  in  an  agony  of  doubt,  of  be- 
wilderment. The  days  dragged  along  end- 
lessly. She  couldn't  imagine  why  Heinrich 
didn't  write  to  her,  to  assure  her  of  his 
love,  to  plan  for  their  future.  Then 
Freda,  her  girl  friend,  told  her  what  had 
happened.  The  Baron's  family  had  ob- 
jected. 

When  they  heard  that  Benay  had  been 
in  the  show  business,  and  that  she  possessed 
no  great  fortune,  they  exploded.  If  Hein- 
rich wanted  to  throw  himself  away  in 
such  a  mesalliance  they  couldn't  stop  him. 
But  they  would  disown  him.  He  could 
starve,  for  all  they  would  do  for  him ! 

And  Heinrich,  raised  to  do  nothing,  re- 
alized that  it  could  never  be.  How  could 
he  support  himself,  his  bride?  He  wasn't 
trained  to  do  any  work.  And  even  with 
his  "little  California  gold,"  he  could  not 
face  the  prospect  of  starving. 

As  Benay  listened  she  choked  back  her  | 
tears.  But  in  the  privacy  of  her  room,  on 
her  narrow  bed,  she  collapsed.  That  dread- 
ful aching  in  her  heart!  "He  doesn't  want 
you  .  .  .  He  doesn't  love  you !"  ringing 
through  her  brain. 

Abruptly  she  quit  school  and  came  home. 
Europe  no  longer  held  anything  to  lure 
her.  Slowly,  agonizingly,  she  forged  her 
way  ahead  on  the  air.  And  slowly  but 
surely  thoughts  of  the  young  Baron  Hein- 
rich gradually  grew  dimmer  and  dim- 
mer. .  .  . 

"At  the  time  it  happened,"  she  told  me, 
"I  thought  I  had  got  a  pretty  raw  deal. 
I  thought  that  was  the  end  of  every- 
thing for  mc.    It  proved  the  beginning. 

"Am  I  glad  things  turned  out  as  they 
did?    What  do  you  think? 

"First  I  would  have  never  had  my  ca- 
reer, and  I've  dreamed  of  being  a  star 
since  I  was  that  high.  And  secondly,  I 
would  never  have  known  what  real  love 
is."  For  today  Benay  Yenuta  is  madly 
in  love  with  a  cleancut,  genuine  he-man, 
an  American  business  man,  who  thinks 
her  career  is  swell. 

So,  girls  take  a  tip  from  Benay.  Don't 
pass  up  boyish  unpolished  Teddy  next  door 
while  you  moan  for  a  title.  Stick  to  the 
home-grown  product.  And  you'll  be  glad 
you  did! 

The  End

U/ouldl^ou  Ttadte  If  out  Jlifjefiot  -t/etl  ? 


(Continued  front  page  45) 


They  had  no  radio,  and  they  couldn't  af- 
ford even  cheap  picture  shows.  They 
never  went  anywhere  or  did  anything  that 
cost  money.  And  still  they  couldn't  make 
ends  meet ;  times  became  harder.  Stella 
had  only  one  thing  left  and  that,  too,  she 
sold — her  'cello.  When  that  money  was 
gone,  she  took  a  job  as  an  unskilled  la- 
borer in  a  packing  house. 

She  could  have  stayed  at  home  and  sold 
the  tamales  which  her  mother  made,  as 
her  sisters  did.  But  Stella  wanted  some- 
thing more  substantial,  more  permanent. 
She  was  determined  to  bring  a  steady 
income  into  that  household.  For  ten  hours 
a  day  she  packed  and  sorted  oranges,  un- 
til her  back  ached  and  her  head  whirled. 
Then  one  day  she  had  an  accident. 

She  doesn't  know  yet  exactly  what  went 
wrong,  except  that  there  was  a  terrible 
crash.  Crates  and  boxes  fell,  and  when 
Stella  regained  consciousness  in  the  hos- 
pital nurses  and  doctors  were  standing 
around  her,  talking  about  cutting  off  her 
leg.  Stella  listened ;  but  before  they  left 
she  told  them  how  utterly  out  of  the  ques- 
tion amputation  was.  Her  mother  agreed 
with  her. 

For  months  she  lay  there  while  her  leg 
mended.  In  lonely  hours  between  her 
mother's  visits,  Stella  amused  herself  and 
the  hospital  staff  by  talking  of  the  things 
she'd  do  when  she  was  well  again,  plan- 
ning to  be  famous  and  wealthy — and 
happy.  She  was  a  favorite  of  the  doctors 
and  nurses ;  perhaps  even  then  she  was 
touched  with  that  strange  aura  of  genius. 
Her  mother  felt  it,  and  never  doubted  that 
Stella  would  some  day  rise  far  above  her 
sisters.  There  was  always  a  peculiarly 
strong  bond  of  loyalty  between  these  two. 

Eventually  she  left  the  hospital  and 
went  back  to  the  packing  house  and  her 
job.  But  another  girl  had  taken  her  place 
in  her  absence.  This  seemed  cruel — but 
the  factory  was  not  to  blame.  Stella  left 
her  application  at  the  employees'  window, 
without  much  hope;  she  could  see  their 
point.  She  was  only  sad  because  she 
hated  to  tell  her  mother  that  her  salary 
couldn't  be  counted  on  any  more. 

When  she  reached  home  she  kept  her 
latest  sorrow  to  herself,  because  something 
much  more  serious  had  happened  at'  the 
little  tent.  The  cow.  which  had  supplied 
them  with  milk  for  years,  had  died.  No 
longer  would  they  have  daily  pennies 
from  the  extra  quarts,  or  the  few  dollars 
that  came  yearly  from  the  sale  of  her  calf. 

"I  realized  we'd  never  get  anywhere, 
living  as  we  were,  so  the  next  day  I  left 
for  Los  Angeles,  twenty-eight  miles  away. 
If  I  could  not  help  them  at  home,  they 
at  least  would  not  have  to  make  sacrifices 
to  support  me." 

It  took  her  only  one  day  to  find  work 
as  a  model,  which  enabled  her  to  send 
monev  home  and  save  enough  besides  to 
pay  a  year's  tuition  at  art  school.  There, 
while  learning  dress  designing,  Stella  met 
two  girls  who  were  far  more  interested 
in  music  than  in  art.  They  liked  the 
girl  Friend  for  her  naive  manner,  her 
happy  personality.  When  they  heard  her 
sing,    their    enthusiastic  encouragement 


knew  no  bounds.  Stella  must  sing  for  a 
living !  Their  plans  for  her  future  made 
her  yearn  for  the  patter  of  applause. 

In  her  friends'  apartment  the  three  girls 
rehearsed  nightly.  They  looked  out  over 
the  blinking  lights  of  Hollywood  and 
dreamed  of  success  to  come.  And  then 
Miss  Fanchon,  of  Fanchon  and  Marco, 
gave  them  an  audition,  and  they  were 
promised  a  job  during  the  summer  vaca- 
tion. When  autumn  came,  the  happy-go- 
lucky  trio  gave  up  art  school  and  started 
out  on  that  first  rollicking  engagement  in 
vaudeville.  And  not  one  of  the  three  ever 
returned  to  the  musty  atmosphere  of  shap- 
ing bolts  of  silk  into  stunning  creations 
on  paper.  Instead,  they  began  a  series  of 
Bohemian  adventures,  traveling  from  small 
to  smaller  towns,  sharing  evenings  with 
motion  pictures  in  local  theatres. 

But  there  was  a  difference  in  those  girls. 
The  other  girls  had  always  had  money. 
They  were  merely  indulging  a  whim.  They 
enjoyed  being  with  actors,  they  were  proud 
of  being  regarded  in  local  ice  cream  par- 
lors as  glamorous  characters,  to  walk 
down  Main  Street  between  shows  and  be 
looked  at.  But  Stella — it  was  not  just 
play  to  her.    She  worked  at  it. 

And  then  the  contract  ended  and  they 
were  back  in  Hollywood  where  they  had 
started.  They  wondered  whether  it  would 
be  wiser  to  return  to  art  school  than  to 
plunge,  practically  amateurs,  into  show 
business.  There  were  so  many  seasoned 
performers  out  of  work,  it  seemed  hope- 
less— but  not  enough  so  to  make  them  will- 
ing to  break  up  the  act. 

Then  Stella  received  a  wire  from  John 
Royal,  vice  president  of  NBC.  He  had 
heard  them  somewhere  on  their  tour,  and 
wanted  them  to  come  to  Cleveland.  They 
didn't  even  have  a  pianist,  and  they  had 
very  little  money;  but  they  went  to  Cleve- 
land. Mr.  Royal  listened  to  their  voices, 
offered  them  a  short-term  contract  at  a 
small  salary.  Would  they  accept?  If 
they  didn't  accept,  they  couldn't  get  home! 

Walking  down  Euclid  Avenue  one  day, 
Stella  met  an  old  friend  from  California, 
Dorothy  Lee.  Dorothy  was  with  a  chap 
named  Fred  Waring.  He  had  heard  of 
Stella,  and  suggested  that  she  look  him 
up  if  she  ever  came  to  New  York.  He 
said  casually  that  there  might  be  a  day 
when  he  could  use  her.  They  parted,  mere 
acquaintances — so  Fred  thought.  But  he 
hadn't  counted  on  this  tent-bred  sefiorita. 

When  the  Cleveland  engagement  ended, 
a  few  weeks  later,  because  of  Stella's  in- 
sistence, the  trio  found  themselves  on 
Broadway.  And  because  it  was  summer 
and  Stella  wanted  to  live  where  there  was 
a  swimming  pool,  they  found  themselves 
registered  at  the  Hotel  Shelton— and 
stranded!  Their  little  manager  hadn't 
thought  that  Fred  Waring  might  not  play 
in  New  York  all  summer! 

For  months  they  waited  around.  Sum- 
mer passed  and  the  unpaid  hotel  bill 
mounted  higher.  All  day  long  they  looked 
for  work,  auditioned  everywhere  without 
success.    One  night  Stella  came  home. 

"We've  won!"  she  cried. 

Her  partners  thought  she  had  somehow, 


3  SHADES  BLONDER 


Since  using  this  wonderful 
blonde  hair  shampoo! 

HOW  lovely  she  looks — how  Irresisti- 
ble. Yet  not  so  long  ago  that  lovely 
blonde  hair  that  tumbles  about  her 
shoulders  was  drab — streaky.  So  she  used 
Blondex,  the  shampoo  made  especially 
to  keep  blonde  hair  beautiful.  Now  her 
hair  is  so  gloriously  golden  that  it  at- 
tracts everyone — and  it's  three  shades 
blonder,  too!  Not  bleached  or  faded,  for 
Blondex  is  not  a  dye  and  is  safe  to  use. 

Why  put  up  with  stringy,  unattractive 
hair  when  Blondex  will  brighten  all  the 
natural  beauty  of  your  hair  and  bring 
out  all  the  golden  glints  that  make 
blonde  hair  so  fascinating  to  others.

lustre  to  faded  blonde  hair — makes  nat- 
urally blonde  hair  more  beautiful  than 
ever.  Inexpensive.  Get  Blondex  today —

RADIO  STARS 


somewhere,  landed  a  job  for  them.  They 
weren't  so  pleased  when  Stella  told  them 
her  surprise.  She  had  just  discovered  that 
Fred  Waring  was  playing  in  Syracuse — 
and  she  wanted  to  take  money  from  the 
common  treasure  to  send  him  a  telegram. 
Here  they  were  practically  starving,  and 
she  wanted  to  send  telegrams  with  their 
last  penny ! 

But  Stella  was  the  boss.  In  two  hours 
she  was  talking  to  Fred  Waring  on  the 
long-distance  telephone.  He  had  called 
back  the  minute  he  received  the  wire. 

"We  sang  over  the  phone  for  him.'" 
Stella  says  breathlessly.  "Even  now  it 
makes  a  lump  in  my  throat,  thinking  of 
it.  He  bought  us  winter  coats,  and  paid 
our  hotel  bill.  He  even  sent  us  train 
fare  and  met  us  at  the  station.  We  were 
the  first  girls'  trio  to  sing  with  an  orches- 
tra— and  the  first  girls  ever  with  Waring's 
Pennsylvanians." 

They  were  called  "The  Girl  Friends," 
and  they  stayed  with  Fred  three  years.  It 
did  a  lot  for  them.  Finally  Hollywood 
beckoned,  but  Stella,  as  manager  of  the 
trio,  turned  a  cold  shoulder  to  its  tempt- 
ing offers.  She  didn't  want  to  leave  War- 
ing, and  she  was  enjoying  her  first  fling 
at  fame.  It  meant  the  end  of  misery  and 
worry,  because  she  was  in  the  big  money 
as  band  singers'  salaries  go. 

Then  Fred  booked  his  orchestra  at  the 
Roxy  Theatre  for  six  months.  Stella  sang 
five  shows  a  day,  seven  days  a  week — 
the  hardest  grind  in  show  business.  And 
when  the  six  months  were  over,  she  was 
scarcely  a  ghost  of  her  old  self.  Her 
health  had  failed — just  when  all  those 
dreams,  all  the  promises  she  had  made  to 
herself  and  her  mother,  were  coming  true. 
She  quit  the  band,  packed  up  her  trunks 
and  said  farewell  to  Broadway. 

Back  to  Fullerton,  California,  she  went 
— to  the  inviting  home  of  a  sympathetic 
sister.  For  three  years  she  never  sang 
a  note  professionally.  She  began  to  fear 
her  career  on  Broadway  would  end  with 
her  singing  once  more  in  the  berry  fields. 
Then  she  prepared  to  open  a  Mexican 
restaurant  at  Laguna  Beach,  with  the  last 
remaining  money  she  had  saved.  Her  sis- 
ter had  a  cafe  there,  too.  Just  a  few  days 
before  "La  Casa  Friend"  was  to  open, 
her  sister's  place  was  held  up.  Stella 
witnessed  the  garish  melodrama,  and  it 
spoiled  her  appetite  for  being  a  restau- 
rateur. 

Listlessly  she  returned  to  Hollywood. 
Dorothy  Lee  was  singing  at  KFI,  and 
Stella  went  to  her  for  help  again — and  got 
it.  Three  fellows  happened  to  be  there — 
a  trio  out  of  work.  Laughingly  Dorothy 
suggested  that  Stella  team  up  with  them 
and  make  it  a  quartette.  But  it  didn't 
seem  funny  to  Stella — nothing  did,  right 
then.  She  listened  to  the  boys'  voices, 
felt  the  warmth  of  sunshine  in  their  notes, 
found  she  could  sing  with  them.  But 
what  to  do? 

She  was  through  with  auditions,  yet  she 
knew  the  new  quartette  would  have  to 
give  plenty  of  them  in  order  to  get  work. 
Dorothy  Lee  had  a  good  idea.  Her  hus- 
band was  leaving  for  New  York  the  next 
day;  why  not  let  him  take  a  record  of 
their  act  East  with  him  and  play  it  for 
Waring  ? 

But  meanwhile  Fred  had  changed  his 
policy;  he  was  interested  primarily  in  a 
good,  hard-trouping,  strong  male  orches- 


tra. Even  the  wives  weren't  encouraged 
to  travel  on  the  many  weeks  of  one-night 
stands.  .  .  .  When  Fred  played  that  rec- 
ord, Ida  Pearson  stood  beside  him.  She 
knew  Stella  very  well — they  had  been 
pals  in  California  when  Stella  sang  with 
Raymond  Paige's  orchestra.  Ida's  hus- 
band was  arranger  for  Andre  Kostelanetz 
— maybe  he  could  use  her.  But  that  cheap 
record — it  wouldn't  have  done  justice  to 
anyone.  Ida  wrote  Stella,  explaining 
everything.  She  hoped  Stella  wouldn't  be 
hurt,  but  didn't  she  have  a  better  record? 

So  part  of  the  money  that  was  supposed 
to  open  a  Mexican  restaurant  in  Laguna 
was  used  to  make  a  new  record  and  send 
it  on  to  Xew  York.  She  had  planned  to 
use  it  to  take  voice  lessons,  but  this  seemed 
more  important.  Stella  and  the  Fellas 
rehearsed  the  next  few  days  in  an  at- 
mosphere of  excitement.  She  herself  di- 
rected them,  working  on  new  arrange- 
ments of  all  their  numbers  in  case  they 
were  called  East.  All  kidding  was  out 
now — this  was  serious  business.  The 
Fellas  complained  about  Stella,  claiming 
she  was  "pulling  a  'Garbo'."  But  the  most 
important  engagement  of  her  career,  for 
all  she  knew,  was  just  around  the  corner. 

When  Kostelanetz  sent  for  them,  Stella 
was  ready  as  far  as  music  went — only 
one  big  item  held  her  back :  train  tare. 
She  wondered  how  to  phrase  that  tele- 
gram. Should  she  ask  for  transportation 
as  a  matter  of  course,  as  big  stars  do — 
or  should  she  admit  she  was  broke?  Xo 
matter  how  she  worded  it,  would  Andre 
Kostelanetz  believe  enough  in  a  record  to 
send  what  it  would  cost  to  bring  four 
people  to  Xew  York  from  Hollywood? 

Apparently  he  did,  because  he  sent  the 
money  and  Stella  and  the  Fellas  were 
starred  on  his  program.  They  fitted  with 
his  plan  of  backgrounding  his  orchestra 
with  voices,  and  since  it  was  the  first 
time  anything  like  that  had  been  tried  on 
radio  it  put  them  right  in  the  middle  of 
the  ether  spotlight.  When  their  contract 
with  Chesterfield  expired,  Fred  Waring 
was  organizing  his  glee  club  symphony. 
Eagerly  Stella  returned  to  the  old  gang, 
taking  her  Fellas  with  her. 

"Waring  was  grand  to  find  a  place  for 
me  again."  she  said  warmly  today.  "And 
I  hope  I'll  never  leave  him  again.  He's 
— well,  he's  rwelL" 

So  at  last  her  voice  has  brought  the 
girl  Friend  wealth  and  fame,  and  she  de- 
serves it.  Life  is  giving  her  another 
chance.  But  she  hasn't  forgotten  her 
gypsy  days. 

Stella  never  will  be  broke  again.  Xor 
will  her  mother  ever  have  to  be  a  drudge 
as  she  once  was.  Because  neither  of  them 
will  ever  forget  those  three  anxious  years 
when  Stella's  health  broke  down,  when  her 
mother  was  her  constant  companion,  the 
only  one  who  really  believed  that  she 
could  win  that  battle. 

I  can't  help  remembering  the  last  time 
I  saw  them  together,  walking  down 
Broadway  side  by  side.  Stella  Friend, 
the  radio  sensation,  whose  name  even 
means  "a  star"  and  whose  return  to  War- 
ing's Pennsylvanians  was  like  a  homecom- 
ing, dressed  in  the  stunning  clothes  and 
furs  her  new  success  has  given  her — and 
Antoinette,  her  mother,  careworn,  a  little 
weary  looking,  but  still  a  du>ky  beauty. 
They  were  holding  hands.

here  are  the  answers 


Uncle  Answer  Man  takes  the  matter  up  with  the  stars 


GRACIOUS  sakes,  doesn't  your  Answer 
Man  have  enough  trouble  with  missives 
without  having  to  worry  about  chain  let- 
ters? One  correspondent  writes  that 
people  out  her  way  (Kansas)  are  getting 
thirty  to  fifty  dimes  in  every  mail.  Your 
Uncle  would  gladly  go  into  this  thing,  hut  if  he 
made  all  that  money  he'd  probably  dash  off  to  Ber- 
muda or  somewhere,  and  then  where  would  all  the 
curious  readers  of  Radio  Stars  be,  eh  ? 

The  only  kind  of  letter  Unkie  would  go  into  would 
be  one  that  would  help  his  question-answering  art. 
For  instance,  if  a  chain  letter  could  spread  his  assur- 
ance:  (1)  That  one  of  the  surest  ways  not  to  get 
tickets  to  broadcasts  is  to  write  to  him;  (2)  that  he 
really  can't  answer  letters  personally;  (3)  that  he 
must  of  necessity  confine  his  answers  to  questions 
asked  about  network  artists ;  and  (4)  that  each  cor- 
respondent should  confine  himself  to  two  questions, 
then  a  great  work  would  have  been  accomplished. 

Having  polished  that  off,  Uncle  A.  M.  will  en- 
deavor to  show  you  in  his  own  inimitable  way  how 
he  turned  inquiring  reporter  and  took  your  last  batch 
of  letters  around  Radio  Row  to  put  the  questions 
right  up  to  the  artists  themselves. 

Unkie:  Ah,  there,  Peggy  Allenby.  Do  tell  me 
your  birth-date,  height,  weight  and  stuff  like  that. 
And,  by  the  way,  are  you  married? 

Peggy:  Yes,  I  am.  To  John  McGovern,  the  one 
who  used  to  be  the  NBC  production  man — and  don't 
be  getting  familiar,  or  I'll  have  him  take  you  apart ! 
Anyhow,  I  was  born  February  14th,  1907,  in  New 
York  City.  I  am  five  feet  six  inches  tall,  I  weigh 
one  hundred  and  twenty-five  pounds,  and  if  you'd 
use  your  eyes  you  would  see  for  yourself  that  I 


have  dark  hair,  brown  eyes  and  skin  that's  fair. 

Unkie:  Fair  enough!  Yoo  hoo,  there,  Myrtle 
Vail,  I  have  some  readers  who're  simply  screaming 
for  the  cast  of  your  Myrt  and  Marge  show. 

Myrt:  W  hich  is  no  reason  you  should  scream ! 
Anyway,  just  to  keep  you  quiet:  Myrt,  Myrtle  Vail 
(that's  I'm);  Marge,  Donna  Damerel ;  Jack  Arnold, 
Vinton  Haworth ;  Clarence  Tiffingtuffer  (the  sweet 
thing!),  Ray  Hedge  (who's  really  a  regular  guy); 
Biddie,  the  cop,  Vincent  Coleman;  Phyllis  Rogers, 
Dorothy  Day;  Billy  DeVere,  Eleanor  Rella;  Mr.  Hay- 
field,  Karl  Way;  Sanfield  M alone,  Reg  Knorr;  Mr. 
Armstrong,  Eugene  McGillen ;  Agatha  Folsom,  Vio- 
let LeClaire ;  Mrs.  Armstrong,  Jeanne  Juvalier; 
Jimmy  Minter,  Ray  Appleby;  Lorraine  Robbins, 
Joan  Myers.    Now  go  'way ! 

Unkie:  Soitinly,  Moit,  on  account  of  here  comes 
Carlo  of  Captain  Henry's  Show  Boat.  Hey,  Carlo, 
tell  me  something  about  yourself. 

Carlo:  With  pleasure,  Senor.  My  real  name  is 
Santos  Ortega.  My  father  was  Spanish,  my  mother 
Irish.  But  strangely  enough,  I  can't  speak  Spanish. 
I  spoke  it  fluently  when  I  was  a  boy,  but  I'm  get- 
ting along  in  years  now.  I'm  twenty-eight.  Still, 
after  experience  on  the  Broadway  stage,  I've  learned 
to  play  Spaniards,  Irish  cops,  Italians,  Russians  and 
other  types.    I  also  like  to  play  cowboys. 

Unkie:  Oh,  goody!  You  be  the  cowboy  and  I'll 
be  the  Indian.  Oh,  no,  here  comes  my  assistant, 
Snooper  O 'Flaherty.  Say,  Snoop,  did  you  find  out 
yet  whether  Lanny  Ross  is  going  to  make  a  pic- 
ture this  year? 

Snoop:  Well,  the  studio  rumor  mongers  say  cer- 
tainly not  until  this  fall,  if  at  any  time.  Lanny  wasn't 
satisfied  with  the  role  he  played  in  his  last  picture, 
'tis  said,  and  if  he  does  {Continued  on  page  72)

"NATURALLY  L  LIKE  CAMELS  BEST. ..." 

MISS  BEATRICE  BARCLAY  ELPHIN5TONE 


"They're  so  much  milder  and  have  so  much  more 
flavor  to  them,"  says  this  charming  representative 
of  New  York's  discriminating  younger  set.  "They 
are  tremendously  popular  with  us  all  hecause 
they  never  make  your  nerves  jumpy  or  upset. 
And  smoking  a  Camel  really  does  something  for 
you  if  you're  tired — you  smoke  a  Camel  and  you 


feel   lihe  new  —  It  gives   you  just  enough  'lift." 

That  is  hecause  smoking  a  Camel  releases  your 
own  latent  energy  in  a  safe  way — fatigue  vanishes. 
And  you  can  enjoy  a  Camel  just  as  often  as  you 
wish,  hecause  Camels  never  upset  the  nerves. 
iSmoke  a  mild,  fragrant  Camel  the  next  time  you 
are  tired,  and  see  what  a  difference  it  makes.
