[4,|OW often you sense that —— people are looking at you, judging your beauty! Whether they glance at you guardedly, or turn to search your face quite openly, you feel instinctively that you are in a never-ending Beauty Contest. In the flicker of an eyelid, a man— another woman — will appraise your looks. And your complexion, whether it is clear and softly youthful or trag- ically dull and drab, plays a vital part in the impression that you make. Use Camay, the Soap of Beautiful Women. It is the soap that yields profuse, luxuriant, creamy-rich lather she attracts the admiration of all who know her. A lovely skin can be da woman ’s greatest charm. Camay is creamy-white, pure, and as delicate as a fine beauty soap should be. See Camay in its green and yellow wrapper, in Cellophane. An ideal complexion soap—fragrant and quick-lathering in the bath. CAMAY the Soap of Beautiful This girl possesses the disarming loveliness of a clear young skin. In the daily Becuty Contest Every Day More Girls Use This Soap— Camay—to Help in Their (arauty Contests yourself, have probably noticed how and is—at the same time—mild enough for the delicate feminine skin. The very first cake you try can definitely improve your skin. THE “GOOD TASTE TREND” IS ALL TO CAMAY In 1933 thousands and thousands of women changed to Camay. You, an =~. me ~~. Let 4 » % i. er. *: Bizz Camay is fast displacing the former favorites among beauty soaps. Yes—Camay looks, feels, and smells high-priced. And the amaz- ing thing is that it actually costs you less than the soap you have | been using! Get your supply of | Camay today! Copr. 1933, Procter & Gamble Co, Women...

wnat a FO O’ couRsE, this woman wears the smartest, most flattering clothes she can buy. But she should never forget that sparkling white teeth are far more important to her attractive- ness and good-looks! Today—just before you put on that pretty new fall frock—take a | mitror close to the window, and look at your teeth and gums. Do your teeth Jook clean? Are your gums firm and healthy? R RADIO STARS For, if your gums are soft and tender, if they often leave a trace of “pink’’ upon your tooth brush— your teeth will probably look gray and dingy. Moreover, “‘pink tooth brush”’ may lead to a serious gum dis- order: gingivitis, Vincent’s disease, or even pyorrhea. The best teeth you have may be endangered. Your gums must be kept firm Because today’s soft, creamy foods do not exercise your gums sufficiently, you need to use Ipana Tooth Paste L sue is: with massage to keep them healthy. Get a full-size tube of Ipana, and clean your teeth the regulation way, brushing well. Then, with a little extra [pana on your brush or finger- tip, massage your gums. Do this today —tomorrow—every day—every time you clean your teeth. Ipana has ziratol in it, and this zira- tol, with the massage, stimulates cir- culation through the gums. As yout gums become healthier and harder, your teeth brighten. And you can forget all about ‘‘pink tooth brush.”’ The “lpana Troubadours” are back! Every Wednesday Eve- ning— 9:00 p.m., E.S.T.

RADIO STARS Let the spool-end be your guide It is so easy to see what you expect to see. That is why first glances are so deceptive. You expect to see If & P. Coats or Clark’s O. N. T. on the end of a spool of thread you buy. But—don’t trust your first élance. Look twice — and be sure! If that second look shows you the name Clark’s or Coats on the spool-end you know you re getting the thread you have always found dependable, as generations of women have before you. Don’t risk a mistake. It pays to use good thread. eee P COATS : CLARK’S O. NEE Ail MR SW Sor more than a centur “vU—as today \ el THE TW-O-GREAT-NAMES- IN THREAD

Maybe it’s his pulpit manner that irritates. 6 Our alert critics all across America give you a cross-section opinion of every big-time program on the air. Lumping their votes together, we find the average, and post the result in our Five Star ratings. For the month ending September 1st, only two programs won the supreme rank of five shining stars. Rudy Val- lee’s variety show clicked into first place with the highest average of all. Guy Lombardo with Burns and Allen were just a whisker behind. Between the two (one a CBS and the other an NBC attraction, by the way) they hog all the glory. Interesting is David Ross, Poet's Gold program, jumping from three stars to four. Evidently, the country likes the syrupy rhythms of Columbia’s Ross. Equally interesting is the lowly posi- tion of the Voice of Experience. Two stars is the rating our scouts award his sexy advice-to-the-lovelorn talks. De- spite this lowly showing, the Voice is reported to be drawing more mail than anyone else on the air. We know for a fact that he requires thirty people to help him handle it. As for “‘one star” programs, to date there just aren’t any. While individual critics have awarded single stinging slaps at air shows, in every case others have thought well enough to give a suf- ficiently higher rating to bring final average up to two stars or three. wk Ss.

RADIO STARS = HOW 1.-L aN CAME... BACK UST a month ago I wrote a story for Rapio Stars’ sister magazine, MODERN SCREEN, called “It’s Ruby’s Turn Now” and in it I told how the great Al Jolson had fallen from his high place and that the real star of the family was his little ex-chorus girl wife, Ruby Keeler. When that story was written, it was as true as science. The mighty Jolson had been struck out by a girl with big, beautiful eyes and dancing feet. But in one breathless month Jolson has knocked my story into a cocked hat. Ruby Keeler remains a great star. That part of the yarn still stands. But Al Jolson has made a come-back a come-back so terrific, so spectacular and so dramatic that one trembles with the power of this new chapter in the annals of show business. Let’s hear the yarn from the very beginning. You know what Al once was—the greatest entertainer of them all—the big-shot of Broadway and points west, the favorite son of the theatre-going ptblic. All great show-men eventually find their popularity waning and Al might have made a graceful bow from the spotlight had it not been for the fact that the little chorus girl he mar- ried, suddenly, after her picture ““Forty-Second Street,” shot to stardom. Al, though he loved Ruby tenderly and devotedly, although he wanted to see her succeed more than anyone else, must have swallowed a bitter pill when he discovered that she was the one sought-after, her picture was the picture adorning the pages of newspapers and that he was just the has-been, Jolson. What made it worse was that his final entertainment fling had met with such defeat. Last winter he signed a big radio contract at a large weekly salary. This was before “Forty-Second Street” had been released. There was much advance ballyhoo about Jolson’s radio broadcasting. The company who secured him thought they had made a real coup. I remember the first night he broadcast. I heard him with a group of people who had all been Jolson fans. We 14
Page 15
| RADIO STARS His first radio program was a dismal failure. His wife, Ruby Keeler’s first picture was a tremendous success. But Al knew why he'd failed. And had the courage to try again By CAROLINE SOMERS HOYT were ready to give him a big welcome over the ether. And then, when he c came on, our faces, which had been set for smiles, suddenly grew puzzled. We looked at each other and shook our heads. NE man said what all of us had been thinking, “Well, Jolson’s done for. He’s lost the old touch. Not so hot any more.” And that was that. Sadly, because we had remembered his once vigorous performances so vividly, we talked of other things. Jolson, too, I learned later, realized that he had failed at that first broadcast. But instead of admitting defeat within himself, he railed at circumstances. “My program was too cut and dried,” he said. ‘They wouldn’t let me do what I wanted to do. I could show ‘em if I had the chance.” But everyone who heard him voice these sentiments thought it was just another fallen actor creating an alibi for himself. And when Al Jolson quit this program, peo- ple nodded wisely and said, “Sure, he quit—and just in time, too. He quit before he was asked to.” But Jolson really quit because of an ideal. He knew he had something to give the radio and he knew that this wasn’t it, but in his disappointment he cried, “I'll never go on the radio again!” And then it was that Ruby Keeler skyrocketed to suc- cess and Jolson became simply “Ruby Keeler’s husband.” But Jolson isn’t that kind of a guy. Inside him is an amount of energy so terrife that inactivity is poison to him. Besides, don’t forget, “he knew he had something to give. One day he said, “My own life is a doggone dramatic story. Things actually happened to me that were much more exciting than anything a script writer could think up. There are climaxes in my life that would put any author of fiction to shame.” Apparently these words were heard by the right people for Jolson was approached for radio once more. 15
Page 16
RADIO STARS Acme But I’m getting ahead of my story. Jolson went on the air that first night—the make or break night—suffering a hundred mixed emotions. If this didn’t go over, he was through! He was being given the chance to do what he wanted to do. If he failed. ... But somehow he was able to put the possibility of failure out of his mind, somehow he was able to stand before that microphone and again be the great Al Jolson. The power and the energy he had once had come back in a flood of emotion. And the make or break chance made him. Beginning over an eight station hook-up as an experi- ment, the Miracle Whip hour had now gone to forty sta- tions and Jolson’s life story goes on. He is taking it bit by bit—his phenomenal success, his part in the first talking pictures, his discovery of little “Sonny Boy,” his meeting with Ruby Keeler. WONDER if he will include his failures, too. I wonder if he will dramatize what it was like for a man as great as Jolson had been to see his wife become the real star of the family. I’m afraid he won’t. I’m afraid that that is all too close and too personal and would tear his heart too much. For no matter what Jolson says, his heart must have been torn during those days. 3ut now there are no longer any humiliations. The great Jolson is back. He stands on his own two feet again beside his star-wife, Ruby Keeler. At first he said, “No.” He was through with radio. The former humiliation had been too great. The program sponsors raised the salary ante. Aw domi Jolson said, “if you'll let me do what I want to do, if I can dramatize my own life on the air.” Some people thought that was a good It wasn't that Al be- grudged Ruby her suc- cess. And Ruby insists that she is Mrs. Al Jol- son first — and Ruby Keeler second. It was just that — well, if you hed been the world's greatest entertainer, you would understand. idea and some people didn’t. The opinion was divided fifty-fifty, but they decided to let him have one chance. When he appeared with Paul Whiteman on the two- hour Miracle Whip Salad Dressing program it was a make or break shot. “Jf Jolson goes over,” everybody said. If Jolson went over indeed—and there was a time when just his name emblazoned in lights outside a theatre was enough to fill the biggest house in the world. O they gave Jolson one more chance and told him he could dramatize his own life. His life! He had spoken truly when he said that no script writer could evolve a better plot than that concern- ing the poor, ignorant little Jewish boy, son of a strict rabbi. The boy wanted to sing, the father was alternately distressed and infuriated that a son of his would delib- erately choose such a future. And between the two, stood the patient, loving mother. One night, over the radio, one of the incidents in that early background was enacted. (Jolson plays himself and other actors take the various other characters.) The one slice of his life he gave concerned the time’ when his father learned that he was singing in a saloon. Wild with fury and chagrin, he took away the money the boy had made. Al’s mother stepped in and, in her gentle way, poured oil upon the troubled family waters. The dramatized story brought tears to the eyes. Jolson was right. It was quite as good as a fiction author could do and even more poignant when one remembered that it was the truth. And Jolson’s voice, Jolson playing himself dished up the truth and put it before his audience. 16

RADIO STARS A NEW SLANT ON mer O SB Y Meet Bing and Dixie with the newest member of the Crooning Crosby family—little Gary Evans, named for Gary Cooper. With his line-up of friends and relatives, it looks as if the young man couldn't escape fame if he wanted to, doesn't it? Ee acid Here’s a truly revealing away-from-the-mike snapshot of Croonin’ Bing By HELEN ) fn OV E-R -T’S strange about Bing Crosby. It really is. His ap- peal on the air is to women. No doubt about it. He sings those sleepy love songs to them, and most of his fan mail comes from love-sick girls who look upon him as _ Heaven’s gift to radio. And by all the laws of nature, men shouldn't like him. _ Men seldom do like ladies’ men. And yet—look! He came to New York from California about two years ago, a comparative stranger, and joined the Friars’ Club, an ex- clusive theatrical organization. The men were sure they | weren't going to like this California newcomer. He was a crooner. Stamped and labelled. Wasn’t that enough? Then they met Bing. Two months later, the boys at the club tendered him a testimonial dinner. Now he’s rated one of the most popular men in the Organization. <A regular fellow with glad hand and a slap on the back for everyone. A wise-cracking, happy- go-lucky chap. A man among men. And that can’t be said for every ladies’ man. But there’s more than that cheerful, good-natured “Hi ya, hoy” attitude that is responsible for Bing’s popularity among men. Here’s a story that Bing doesn’t want known. But it’s ch a grand gesture and reveals so much about the an, that I’m going to risk telling it. times being what they are, several of the Friars have ~— tin been unable to pay their dues. That would mean that they would have to leave their club. In some way, Crosby found out about it, and paid up the dues of three of these unfortunate members for two years. But here’s the swell side of it. No one, not even the men who were the beneficiaries of this act, knows of it. Only one man was let in on it, the treasurer of the club. And he told me the story in a burst of admiration for Crosby. This would be a “Good Samaritan” act for any one else, but coming from Crosby it’s just another act of good fellow- ship. And then, in addition to that—and I think this act of Bing’s was even more admirable—he posted a $2000 bond guarantee which made it possible for other Friars to pay up their dues in whatever small amounts they could spare. And they may take as long as they need to work off the debt. All arrangements, of course, were secret. The news came to the members simply as a formal announce- ment from the Club. And if the members cannot com- plete their payments for one reason or another, the loss —you've guessed it—will be Bing’s. Don’t you see, he doesn’t believe there’s anything heroic in lending a helping hand. He’s been broke and hungry himself, and now that he’s riding the crest of the wave, it’s the most natural thing in the world for him to tide a few fellows over until they get the breaks. E’S generous to a fault. He’s lent hundreds of dollars to hard-pressed friends, and won’t accept a penny in return until he’s sure that the man is firmly on his feet again. I know for a fact that he’s returned the money that two friends offered to repay him, because he felt that they could ill afford it. (Continued on page 88) 17

WE meet in the executive quarters of the mansion and Y are escorted to the President’s living quarters by the Chief of Staff of White House secret service men. We are taken to the diplomatic reception room. It is oval in shape and about the size of an ordinary living-room. Usually one of the stateliest rooms in the White House, it has been converted into a combination radio and movie studio. ‘The room is literally divided into four arcs. One con- tains the radio engineers and announcers. Another is pe “= . - occupied by newsreel apparatus and cameramen. The third arc contains the few visitors present for the broad- cast. The fourth, and most important, contains the desk from which the President broadcasts. Radio wires snake their way into the room from all of the four doors. Five huge kleig lights are centered on the President’s desk. It is similar to most desks, except that it has large holes bored in the top to accommodate wires to the microphones. There are five of these mikes, two for the National Broadcasting Company, and two for the Columbia Broadcasting System and one for the sound movies. It is an unusual setting for a broadcast, for the room is full of relics of another day. There are six heavily framed oil paintings gn the wall. The inscriptions be- neath them identify them as the likenesses of Mrs. John Tyler, Mrs. James Polk, Presidents Arthur, Garfield, and McKinley and that stern warrior, Zachary Taylor.

Or was it that, despite the disapproval of his minister father, he held to his determination through lean and adventurous years to be a singer? Perhaps it was something of all of these. And Jane, Jane who’d been reared in a comfortable home in the city of Columbia, Missouri, where her father had been mayor, who was she to give up the promise of a life of ease to face the dismaying odds which are against those who choose such a profession? To the local swains who sought her hand, she was a lithe, pretty creature who could swing a brassie or pour tea with the necessary §race—a girl who’d make a perfect wife. They didn’t see in her refusals to their proposals a determination to do what not every woman desires—to accomplish great things, to be somebody in this world. ‘ La ’ i Jane.

The mutually uncompromising detestation began the evening Don was lounging in a WLW reception room, listening to the particularly sweet and appealing soprano voice issuing from the loudspeaker. He let his mind ponder on visions of the splendid beauty the owner of such a voice should possess. He was not disappointed when he saw Jane come from the studio at the end of a program. A studio official introduced them. “How do you do,” she said in a manner which made Don feel as though she’d dashed a glass of ice water in his face. “T think you have the loveliest (Continued on page 94) 25

James Wallington (left) dared considerable peril to test a deep-sea rescue chamber once—just to bring more realism to his news broadcasts. His companion, George Hicks is another news ace. THRILL MAKERS OF To be a broadcaster of news as it’s made, you need wit as keen as a rapier, nerves as tough as steel and a spirit as gallantly adventuresome as a D’Artagnan’s. By the fast thinking-of Ted Husing, and other mem- bers of the Columbia Broadcasting System, news of the unfortunate crash of Amy and Jim Mollison was brought to you hours before the newspaper presses roared out the story of their transatlantic flight and its nearly fatal ending. Did you hear it? And do you remember the broadcast of the Los Ange- les earthquake? Then you heard Doug Douglas as he stood in the tower of a crazily rocking building, one eye on the destruction he described, the other on the two-ton clock pendulum which swayed menacingly above him. Do you recall the broadcast of the riot and holocaust in They dare flame and gun-fire and ocean depths. If that Ohio penitentiary? Two heroes of radio dared fire and bullets then. Were you one of the listeners who thrilled to the an- nouncers as they talked from submarine and diving bell ? They never knew what moment the ocean might close them in the fastness of Davy Jones’ locker. Let’s speed to the Floyd Bennett Airport just outside New York City, where a restless crowd awaits the ar- rival of the daring Mollisons. Around a microphone are grouped Elinor Smith, Ted Husing, his observer, Les Quailey, and Columbia’s announcer-pilot, Swanee Taylor. They are waiting tensely for word from New York headquarters to which all the newsgathering agencies avail- able along the New England coast are sending their re- ports.

It wants thrills. Radio provides ’em. “Plane thought to be Mollison’s seen flying low over the airport just a few minutes ago,” a network station flashes over its private line to Columbia. “Can you confirm that?” snaps back headquarters. “No,” flashes the station. More rumors tumble. A big cabin monoplane carrying Don Ball, announcer and radio equipment, is cruising through the dusk along the New England coast, seeking the transatlantic flyer’s plane. If they find it, they'll ac- company it back to New York, sending out a description tor rebroadcasting as they fly. The men at Floyd Bennett field receive orders to go on the air in an hour.

Confi- dently Husing and the others begin broadcasting. On and on they talk, but no sight of the flyers. Just rumors. The studio’s broadcasts are resumed until a definite report of the English plane can be obtained. The tenseness at the airport increases every minute. At 10:17 in the evening they suddenly learn that there’s no studio program for that period and, totally unprepared, they go back on the air. All they have to tell the audience is the conflicting rumors which pile in on them. Headquarters is in telephonic communication with the manager of the Bridgeport airport. He’s telling them that a plane is circling overhead. He thinks it’s the Mollisons. “My God, they’ve crashed!” He hangs up. It’s confirmed shortly after that it was the Mollisons you the news while it is happening 27

Husing gives orders as fast as a city editor at word of a five-alarm fire. He doesn’t even go off the air, and the listeners have a chance to hear how the radio people get the news. “Don Ball,” he calls to the announcer cruising through the skies some miles away. “Don Ball, if you can hear me, come back at once to the airport.” He turns to Swanee Taylor. The pilot, anticipating his order, says, “I'll get the Travelair’s tanks filled up and we'll take off right away.” Ball’s huge plane roars down the runway to a stop. He has to go to Newark for special fuel, so he can’t go at once to Bridgeport. In a surprisingly few minutes, Ted has finished giving orders and has concluded the broadcast. With Quailey and Taylor, he climbs into the plane and in less than a minute, they are streaking through the night for Bridgeport. Meanwhile, Joe Lopez, announcer for Columbia’s Bridgeport station, WICC, is bringing to Columbia list- eners, an eyewitness’ account of the crack-up. In thirty-six minutes, Husing’s plane is circling over the airport. The night is foggy and in the confusion, the landing field is insufficiently lighted. They can’t see 28 the windsock. A plane, ap- parently more familiar with the field, sideslips into a crosswind landing. Swanee follows and sees he can't make it. He zooms up for another try and comes down wind straight into the glare of floodlights. Their hearts skip — several beats as they see the ground rushing past them. They’re down — safe. No time to think of that. They hurry past the mile-long jam of automobiles and find a car which speeds them to the hospital where the injured Mollisons are lying. They have just a few minutes be- fore the eastern network goes off for the night. They man- age to put on a brief broad- cast by the superintendent of the hospital. The anxious world learns that the Mollisons are not se- riously injured. Through quick thinking and disregard for personal safety, radio newsmen have scored a scoop. Let’s make a fast trans- continental hop to California. We are in the building of KHJ, Los Angeles, on the 11th of last March. Through the studio runs the usual hum of activity. Suddenly _ the building pitches and shudders like a foundering liner. Knifé-like splinters of glass and masses of brick crash down. Trained to emergen- cies, the staff acts with swift intelligence. Through the roar of destruction, the tele- graph instruments chatter steadily on. Columbia head- quarters in New York wants information and a _ network broadcast. KHJ is going strong. Bracing himself in a dizzily rocking tower of his building, Doug Douglas of the Los Angeles Times reports for the station. Above him gy- rates insanely the menacing pendulum. He measures the distance to the door, wondering if he can escape, if it comes hurtling down. He stays beside the microphone nine and one-half hours. The scene shifts to KFOX, Long Beach. The station's transmitters are flinging far and wide the tale of the shud- dering earth which wreaks destruction. Wire lines break. Engineers work in a barrage of stone and glass and repair them. KFOX stays on the air. Back to KH]. A dramatic cast is in the studio. It seems like days since the first shock. It has been but a few hours. They are tired, dirty, hungry, thirsty.

C arson ROBISON, who directs his Buckaroos on Columbia’s Bar X Days and Nights program, found out something about the sartorial inclinations of his friends. Carson gave a party on his farm near Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and he called it a “tacky” party; that is, everyone was to come in his oldest clothes. Neighbors from surround- ing farms were invited as well as radio friends from New York’s broadcasting studios. And, of course, the “city folk” all came properly dressed in rags and tatters while the country guests were attired in the height of fashion.

Rich in~ Negro legend and the | rousing acting of a Negro cast, itwins RADIO STAR'S | November ‘award “For Distinguished Service” ; ADIO has been called an art, a science, and a damned nuisance. Actually, it is all those things; at times more of a nuisance than an art, and at other times more of an art than a nuisance. But this we all know: it is apt to follow trends. Radio producers are inclined to imitate, to follow like sheep the successful example of a reigning radio sensation. Which produces dullness and monotony. To encourage those who give us new enter- tainment forms, or to reward those whose radio work is of outstanding excellence, RADIO STARS has established a monthly award to be given ''For Distinguished Service’ to radio entertainment. This month we salute ‘John Henry—Black River Giant," and Miss Geraldine Garrick, director and co-adapter of the plays; and the all-Negro cast of Juano Hernandez, Jack McDowell, Emmett Lampkin, Rose McClendon, Ralph Ransom, Richard Huey, Maurice Ellis, Service Bell and Georgia Burke.

MILIN’ Ed McConnell, one of the air’s greatest one- man shows, is the only performer I ever heard of who was actually shanghaied into radio. And thereby hangs a tale.

All unconcerned, he played and sang, sang the old songs and familiar hymns which he had learned as a boy and Which everybody loves. He was just himself—a ural —and he clicked!

The director, a trifle bewildered by this unexpected avalanche, sent for Smilin’ Ed. He offered him a regular sustaining program, and having nothing to lose, Ed accepted. He worked without salary for three years, supporting himself in various ways. But during that time he built up an audience of many firm friends. EP McCONNELL has seen life as it is lived in the quiet simplicity of the little parsonage in Atlanta, which was his birthplace. He has known the stench of the stockyards of Chicago, wuere he got his first profes- sional job. He has run the gamut from church to cabaret, and from revival meetings to radio, and through it all has run like a golden thread the well-assimilated lessons in honesty and the principles of genuine humanity which he learned from a God-fearing father and mother.

And I’ve even heard it vaguely referred to as “a necessity.” Well, I'll tell you to whom radio is a necessity. To Rita and Georgia W. and Joe K., known otherwise by a number. And to thousands of others shut in by a dark wall of sickness, or a very real one of gray stones and bars. 1 cannot mention their full names because they have asked me not to. But I want you to know them, anyway. To them, radio is more than entertainment, more than educational. It’s a definite part of life. The link that connects*their lives with those of their fellow beings. I was in the workroom of the Lighthouse, an industrial home for the blind in New York City. There were rows of benches with girls and women of all ages, sitting quietly working—weaving, sewing towels, knitting. Finger were prodding needles in and out with the same steady monotony. From morning till night, these women who live in a world of shadow sit on their benches and do their tasks. But there is a smile on the face of each. Not of resigned despair. But an eager, animated smile that threatens to break into a laugh any minute. The Funny- boners have just said something funny. You see, the radio is on all the time, and it is that which makes their work bearable, and their life more natural. I paused besides Georgia W., a sweet-faced young girl. ~~ their -savior B y~ HE LE WN Sehr ER

Ex, HAT does the radio mean to you, Georgia?” “Oh, it’s my life,” she answered without thinking twice. “The day seems so short when it’s on, and the work is so pleasant. I remember one day the radio was being repaired, and we were all so fidgety and restless time just dragged, and we were way behind with our work.” “And your favorite?” “My favorite?” A pause. “Well, I can safely say that the favorite of all the girls here is ‘The Voice of Experi- ence.’ I guess it’s because we can identify ourselves so closely with him. There seems to be a bond of sympathy between him and the rest of us.” But Mrs. Partridge, the publicity director of the Light- house, had something even more interesting to tell. “To the blind, radio is their only contact with the out- side world. You see, there is no newspaper printed in Braille. In order to get the news, therefore, someone would have to skim over the paper for them. Besides making them dependent on someone—a thing they don’t like—it was never satisfactory. But the radio now is their daily newspaper. It keeps them up on what is hap- pening around them, and they feel a part of the outside world. Edwin C. Hill, Boake Carter, Floyd Gibbons and all the other news commentators are the news reporters for the blind. “This example may bring home sharply just what radio has done for the blind. This year, when the election cam- paign was conducted more or less on the air, more blind people voted than ever before. Our script class was crowded with those who wanted to learn how to write their names on the registry. They took an active interest in the world affairs, they became political minded, and that great barrier which kept them from taking part in Illustrated by JACK WELCH ‘ie if ely g \ Tl | Mil a 39

the affairs of the day, was obliterated by the radio.” Then there is Abigail K. Abigail truly lives in a world of darkness. being blind, she is so ill that she must lie flat on her back all day long. The doctors had tried to breathe some spark of happiness into her. But they had failed to find that» something which would make her come out of her brood- ing, pain-wracked shell. When the nurses tried to move her, she would moan in pain. In fact, more than once, a sedative had to be administered. But Abigail doesn’t moan any more. She’s got her radio. She is so enraptured by it, so amazed at this new world it brings to her bedside, that she forgets she is Abigail K., the blind, the sick. Bit by bit, she is gradually tak- ing an interest in life. The prone, ailing, almost inanimate figure is now an eager woman whose enthusiasm has been in- spired by the fascinating world her earphones have brought. “LYOW is Milton Cross?” she asked me. “When Milton Cross broke down in the middle of an announcement and told us that his daughter had died, I cried as though it had been my own little girl.” : Now let me tell you about Catherine. Catherine had always been regarded as a dull,, slow- witted person. Sightless and slow-moving, she seldom spoke to anyone. Last Christmas, a kindly man offered to place a radio in the room of each inmate who wanted one. Everyone re- sponded happily. Catherine came to the superin- tendent. ‘Please, Miss, I want a radio, too.” But Catherine was forgotten. With a slow mind like hers, they reasoned, she probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it. Better save it for some of the others. A few days later, Catherine knocked on the door again. “Please, Miss, my radio. When will I have it?” At last they installed one in her room, too. And now a remark- able change has come over Catherine. She isn’t the same sluggish person. She is talkative and. gay. She joins the other folks and will discuss current topics. The nurses realize now that Catherine wasn’t stupid, but her life was barren and her mind had no way of being developed. The radio has done wonders to open up her shallow little world into a fuller, more active one. She is no longer hedged in alone with her thoughts to make her bitter and lonely. ance. They have her listed urfder some long, technical term, but in simpler words she is an extremely morbid, depressed case, a victim of fits of extreme.melancholia.

Then you learn that too many dates” and too many parties have weak- ened May and made her suscepti- ble to the dread disease she in- herited. But her love of parties and good times still lingers. “You've no idea,” she confided, “what that radio means to me. On Saturday nights, in particu- lar. That was the longest night of all for me. I got to thinking of the good times I was missing, and I’d get so blue and feel so forlorn, I’d cry myself to sleep. But now the radio has made it bearable. Enjoyable, I should say. I listen to Guy Lombardo and all the orchestras on Satur- day night, and shut my eyes and picture myself dancing to their — music the way I used to.

Now, the most trying moments for a patient are those just before he or she is to undergo an operation. Nerves are jangling. The seconds drag. The heart flutters. This woman was no exception.

There’s no question that he’s in love with his wife, but his marital life is an unceasing flow of startling con- tradictions. You know yourself that love alone isn’t sufficient to make a man a perfect spouse. What kind of a husband is Paul, anyhow? You're going to have an opportunity to judge for your- self right now. Margaret Livingston has consented to reveal his marital shortcomings and virtues, for RADIO STARS. Margaret ought to know. She’s his wife. She’s the beautiful actress for the love of whom Paul, at considerable sacrifice, rid himself of some hundred pounds of excess orchestra leader, which was not easy! You read about it, perhaps, in her book, “Whiteman’s Burden.” If you didn’t, let’s take a moment to look back four years when Paul’s movie, “The King of Jazz,” was making the rounds of the local picture houses. There were 315 pounds of the maestro who met the slender, determined little actress in Hollywood and fell immediately and thoroughly in love with her. Imagine arising one morning, hopelessly in love, look- ing in the mirror and seeing some hundred extra pounds Even before Mar- garet told him so frankly, Paul knew that those rolls of By W | fat stood as the seemingly impassable barrier he’d have | to smash to gain the highway to her heart. He was a victim of the appetite to which he’d been such a slave. His own jolly, plump figure suddenly loomed up, a men- acing threat to his happiness. It was not a moment for idle romancing, it was a time for acting decisively to assure his own peace of mind. ? YW BAT do you think happens to a man who deliber- ately loses one hundred pounds? Does it affect his health, his mental well-being? Does it make him touchy, ‘hard to get along with? Margaret didn’t know, but she took a chance. He’d kept his part of the bargain, she’d keep hers. He had failed before in the business of mar- Tiage. She knew that. But she was willing to take a chance with the man who adored her so. Now that they’re married, what kind of a life do they lead? Let’s see. ._ Would most husbands, for instance, act grouchy in the'morning if they arose day after day after having had but five hours sleep? That’s all Paul usually gets, but he’s not grouchy—not exactly. You just can’t get a word | out of him until he’s bathed (he doesn’t sing in the tub), shaved, dressed and had two cups of coffee. __ What a change the moment that second cup is drained ! derily he bubbles over with ideas and plans with all exuberance of a boy who’s just been presented with ‘a teaspoon. “ a new Meccano set. He _ sstarts talking. ' Margaret sits by and asks dumb questions—she says herself they’re dumb—and Paul loves it. He says her lack of pretense is refreshing. She can’t help him a bit when it comes to his music. He likes that. Too many people give him superfluous advice about con- ducting, anyhow. The after-coffee conversation might last five minutes, perhaps an hour, and then the debonair conductor disappears for the rest of the day. She is not to see him for twelve or fourteen hours when, like as not, they will renew their companionship over a late supper in a night club. A radio writer once remarked that he always has the peculiar feeling that Paul even sleeps in his evening clothes. It’s not quite as bad as that, but he certainly is a fastidious dresser. His fancy for fine clothes is one of the great tribulations of Mrs. Whiteman’s life. The moment he enters a fashionable clothier’s establishment, he throws money about with all the abandon you or I might display in a five and ten cent store. PEGG ¥. 2k cnet ies je the other day he took his wife into a shop on New York’s Fifth Avenue. He wanted another hat to add to his collection. At the counter they met Mrs. Rube Goldberg. “Oh dear,” complained the cartoonist’s wife, “I wish I could drag Rube in here to get a new hat.” “New hat!” Margaret sighed. “Paul’s just bought six.” If you think Mrs, Whiteman ever has any success in curbing her husband’s propensities for buying clothes, you should have a look at his wardrobe. When they re- turned from Hollywood recently, he brought with him twenty-one trunkfuls of clothes. Imagine it! It’s enough of a struggle for the ordinary human being to keep track of just one trunk. Hark back to your own troubles with trunks—jumping on their lids to close them; snapping their locks only to learn the keys are inside; keeping track of the baggage checks—then mul- tiply all that by twenty-one. This nightmare of responsibility pursued Mrs. White- man so relentlessly across the continent that she finally insisted that Paul part with nine of them. It helped just about as much as trying to bale out the bathtub with What happens when a man with some twenty-five suits, a hundred shirts and a thousand ties and a temperament like Whiteman’s, starts dressing?

I heard one recently when they boasted about being able to give recipes for meals that would cost as low as seventeen cents per person, but, of course, they said, you could only use the cheap cuts of meat.

And that’s how these two young people, who are Betty and Bob Drake (over NBC’s WJZ-blue network at 3 p.m. [EST] daily except Saturday and Sunday) came to the air- waves. Beatrice Churchill, or Betty, was born in Lake- port, California, Decem- ber 21, 1910. Her am- bition was to be an ac- tress; so immediately upon graduation from the College of the Pacific in Stockton, she went to the Goodman Theatre in Chicago where she worked for two years. One day Beatrice’s roommate came home with the news that she was to have an audition with NBC. It thrilled Beatrice so much that she asked to go along. The funny part about it all is that, when Beatrice asked if she could test her voice, the officials said yes. And she walked out with a job. The job was acting the part of 3etty in the Betty and Bob sketch. She’s been on this one program ever since. Don Ameche, who is Bob to us listeners, was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His folks sort of wanted a lawyer in the family so Don decided to try it. After a couple of rather unsuccessful attempts at law, an actor who was in an automobile accident called Don to play his part. Don became interested in this stage business, and so Then, work got continued to act for about two years. scarce and he looked for new fields. consider radio. Dramatic programs on the air were still a bit new, and Don had never even heard one. But he was a good actor and soon some friends who were producing radio shows dragged him into a studio. In summing himself up, Don adds: “I’m fond of spaghetti. Like golf and bathing. Own an Irish setter. Went to school at Columbia College, Marquette, George- town and Wisconsin Universities. Thrown out of none. Just quit.” ‘ That’s Don Ameche who stands five feet eleven, tips the scales at 155, and has brown hair and eyes.

RADIO STARS OSALINE GREENE remains one of radio’s best actresses. And it is a distinct stroke of luck for her and for the radio audience—because Rosaline Green might have been a school teacher. She was born and brought up on Long Island, and her parents, viewing with a moderate amount of alarm her mounting tendencies for being a thorough-going tomboy, decided that the best thing for her was to follow the trade of teacher. So when she had put grade and high schools behind her, with a prowess in tennis, swimming, riding and boxing fully equal to her scholastic attainments, they ‘Sent Rosaline to the State College at Albany, N. Y., where in due course of time she collected a degree with honors and the right to teach school. Right then and there it began to look as if another “marm” would be added to the ranks, and little thought | Was given to the idea that, instead, a ‘girl to be known as LUG WAT d a Rosaline Greene might have been a school teacher later as Queen of the Ra- dio was launching a ca- reer. It happened this way. Rosaline liked dramat- ics. In fact she liked the drama so much that she auditioned at WGY for the world’s first radio dra- matic troupe. She walked out of the studio as lead- ing lady of the WGY players. That settled the ques- tion. From then on Ro- saline would be a radio actress. She rose to fame fast, so fast that within a year after her gradu- ation she was , crowned Queen of the Radio Worid’s Fair at Madison Square Garden in New York. The honor meant Rosaline was the possessor of radio’s most perfect voice. Now Rosaline has something over a thousand radio roles to her credit, and she has made radio history with some of her portrayals of the past, notably her Josephine in “Napoleon Bonaparte’ and as Joan of Arc. She does her rehearsing, of all places, perched on the roof of a Fifth Avenue bus. Sometimes it’s quite em- barrassing for she throws herself into roles with such intensity that, when she comes to, she often finds herself the center of fellow bus riders’ amusement—she has been doing her part out loud. Yes, Rosaline turned away from school-marming, but just so the elder Greenes would not be wholly disap- pointed, she is seeing to it that her kid sister, just gradu- ated, will uphold the family name in that field. Miss Greene is heard on several NBC programs. Ray Lee Jackson 5 an

Have the windows of your room open, top and bottom. Then turn on your radio. It’s the Tower Health great Metropolitan Life In- surance Company Tower, looking down on a sleepy New York, is Arthur E. Bag- ley, the man who conducts the largest gymnasium class in the history of the world. It’s 6:45 o’clock in New York. If you live in Missouri, it’s 5:45. And if you’re a West Coast radio fan, you better not go to bed the night before. You see, it will be 3:45 in the morning out your way. That may be early for a lot of us, but 1,250,000 business men, house- wives and school children have written in saying they listen regularly. That, we must admit, is about the biggest gym class we could imagine. And there are un- doubtedly many more members of this class, for broadcasters tell us that less than one out of every twenty-five listeners take the trouble to write. ; That’s a record for Mr. Bagley. But he’s a man of records. He holds three others. His broadcast is the first on the air every morning—opening things up for the networks and the listeners. Secondly, he has been on the air longer than any other daily broadcaster. And last, he’s been more punctual and attentive to his series than any of the radio gang. And all that takes a lot of work, believe you me. ES whole business of morning exercises started eight years ago last April 1. And without a single exception, these exercise programs have opened the day for the 56

RADIO STARS Meet Arthur E. Bagley, the man who conducts the Tower Health Exercises at the crack of dawn. When it comes to hard work— well, he’s an authority on the subject! Illustration by Abril Lamarque National Broadcasting Com- pany. That was even before WEAF, the key station of NBC in New York, was ever a part of a network, which means over 2600 broadcasts — six days a week since 1925. All that time, Bill Mahoney, the pianist who makes it easy to count “one-and-two-and- bend, brothers’ while you exercise, has been on the pro- gram with Mr. Bagley. Just the two, day after day for over eight years. And at that unreasonable morning hour ugh! Mr. Bagley is an old head when it comes to exercises. That’s al- ways been his business. For twenty-three years-before 1925 he supervised gymnasiums for- the Y. M. C. A. He knows what he’s talking about when he rattles off his morning schedule. His is a busy life. To bed by midnight. Up at 5:45 a. m. on the dot. A shave and a shower and then a bite of light food. To the Tower. Up the waiting elevator. And into the studio at 6:30 in time for tests, and prepara- tions for going on the air at 6:45. The actual broadcasts last until 8 o’clock. Breakfast is at 9. Then office work—mail, future broadcasts, visitors and other such matters—right up to 5 p. m., taking time in the early afternoon for a lunch of fruit, milk and crackers. Such a schedule, day after day for eight years, might drive an ordinary person to distraction. But there again Mr. Bagley proves the value of his instructions in health. It keeps him going and feeling fine—yes, better than ever before in his life, he says. He’s one fellow who practices what he preaches. He does those exer- cises himself, what’s more.

Cool winds drifting through a ounding surf to whisper sea-songs in pine and hemlock roves. Bearded fishermen home from “the Banks,” lodding toward tiny white houses that lean into the alty breeze. One of those houses is probably the most amous home in the world. Seth Parker’s! We're on our way. No boat, no train, no bus takes is to this Jonesport, though. We use an elevator, a ilded metal birdcage that rockets us to the top of NBC’s roadcasting building in New Tork City.

RADIO STARS Behind the Scenes with F. D. placed there by one of the engineers. Three minutes before the broadcast starts, the President enters the room. The Roosevelt smile beams on every- one present. The President is wearing a white linen suit, a cream-colored tie and tan shoes. Although the tempera- ture had hovered around a humid 96 all day, and it still was up in the high 80’s, and although he had been kept busy with more than 100 appointments from early morning, Mr. Roosevelt looks calm and fresh. E looks more like a business man who has. spent the past four months playing golf at a vacation re- sort than the leader who has success- fully been coping with the greatest problems to face this nation in time of peace. He puffs at a cigarette in a long holder and takes his place in front of the microphone. Chatting with Ike Hoover, White House major domo, and General Hugh S. Johnson, keeper of the NRA “Blue Eagle,” the President seems less concerned about the im- portant broadcast that is about to start (Continued from page 23) than anyone else in the whole room. Then you hear the announcers, Carle- ton Smith for NBC and Robert Traut for Columbia, both in their early thir- ties. The President loses his smile, His face goes grim. He takes a last putf at his cigarette. “Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.” Reading from large typed sheets, similar to those used by Floyd Gibbons, the President delivers his message. His voice is clear and firm, He is talking to the largest audience that ever lis- tened to a broadcast. But, he speaks as if he were addressing each individ- ual who is listening to him. As he continues, he opens his coat. It is uncomfortably hot in the room, in spite of the four fans. Then he reaches that point in this particular message where he finds it necessary to use the term “economic hell.” With a twinkle and a smile he looks up toward General Johnson as though to say, “I got away with that one.” The word “hell,” you know, has always been a radio outcast, but the President uses it because it most Boake Carter glances over his editorial before broadcasting the news on the Philco program, which rates the air five times a week over the Columbia network. Carter has “a nose for news,” having learned about scoops in the City Room of a big daily. 60 eas: ARE clearly and adequately describes his point. HE smiles once more during his broadcast. That’s when he inter- rupts himself to ask, “Where’s that glass of water? It is a very hot eve- ning in Washington, my friends.” Well, the water is directly in front of him on the desk. The President knew it was there all the time. But, this little interlude is a clever relief. It is an excellent bit of showmanship, It is typical of his informal attitude. Talking at a rapid but understand- able pace, the President drives on to the finish of his message. This time he is eight minutes ahead of the time allotted him by the networks. Then the President does a very nat- ural thing. Turning to M. H. Me- Intyre, White House secretary, he asks, “How was it?” He puts the same question to the radio boys. Ike Hoover, who has been listening to the talk on a radio set upstairs, comes in. He reports that it came over great. The President smiles broadly again. Then the room is transferred into a Hollywood movie lot. The President lights a fresh cigarette. The camera- men get busy. The bright klieg lights are lit, adding to the heat of the room. “Now comes the worst part of it all,” the President jokingly remarks. The cameras, swathed in heavy coverings of thick mats to stifle their hissing sounds, go into motion. And _ for thirty-five minutes, in an obliging and good-natured spirit, the President goes through his message again for the newsreel men. At one stage of the movie-taking, a camera man shouted, “cut.” The roll of film on one of the machines had been broken. The President looked up surprised and laughingly asked, “Who's dead?” Then come the newspaper photog- raphers. Another cameras and flickering flashlight bulbs. An aid rushes in. Long distance phone call. Mrs. Roosevelt. She was one of those millions of listeners out there on the other end of the mike.) The President leaves to get her re- action. The man in the speakeasy snaps off the radio and returns to the bar for an- other shot. The bell hop in a Chicago hotel snaps off the radio and returns to his busy post. The captain on a Mississippi boat snaps off the radio and goes up or deck to get a bit of evening breeze. The housewife in that Californiz home snaps off the radio and return: to her kitchen to see how her dinnei is getting along. Millions of radio sets throughout the land are snapped off.

RADIO STARS What Kind of a Husband Is Paul? “snobs. Well, Mrs. Whiteman just -ouldn’t be expected to pick up after iim. So he has a man do it. Ii Margaret Livingston weren't an ‘ictress of considerable background, who ‘understands the exacting demands. of tame in the profession of entertaining, she probably wouldn’t be able to put 1p with the crazy living schedules with which. she has to contend. How would you like having almost 10 time for friends and for the enter- -ainment which is dear to the heart >i so many married couples? The best hey can plan for their guests is an oc- ‘sasional cocktail party in their hotel suite or a round of the night clubs. You'd think it fun for awhile, but 1ollow tones in the notes of such gaiety ire soon detected by persons of intelli- rence. But because both of them are ull of the joy of living, they manage, somehow, to be content with it. It’s -eally a complete entertainment in it- self to sit at a table with Paul and listen to his enthusiastic flow of talk. _ But if Margaret Livingston’s a radio widow, she’s not left at home when he plays golf. He’s grand about that. She swears that her shots are as dubby as her questions about music are dumb. But he loves it. She confesses that it gives him a chance to show off. ]F you’ye gotten the impression that “ Paul’s too much of a dandy, you ‘should see him on the fairway or on the tennis court. “That strapping ath- lete in those old clothes can’t be Paul Whiteman,” you'd say to yourself. Yes, Paul is certainly a bundle of ‘contradictions. You watch the sun and wind-tanned sportsman whip off a three- hundred-yard drive, or backhand. a hot ‘ball to the far corner of a court, or flail a fast crawl down the swimming pool. Then you knit your brows in wonderment at what Margaret has told about his taste in interior decorating. He likes to furnish the bedrooms of his Colorado ranch prettily and daintily ‘m the gilt and filigree of the peried of Louis Fourteenth. | He’s crazy about that place. It’s a far cry from the days when he was a ‘taxi driver in Denver, to his present ‘ownership of this handsome hundred and fifty acre ranch near that rough, bluff city of the West. _ If you pause to wonder about a hus- band who is so concerned with the deco- ‘Tation of his home, what do you think of a husband who takes an active and intelligent interest in his wife’s clothes ? ‘Just let him suspect that she’s going ‘shopping for a dress or a hat, and he'll her to wait until he has a chance to go with her. When he goes, it’s as happily as if he were starting out to buy himself two or three new suits. You'd think a man who makes all \the money he does would be interested in knowing what happened to it. You'd |think a man who'll make about $150,000 om his broadcasting in the next year - (Continued from page 43) and who has made double and triple that, would’ like to manage his affairs. Certainly his past misfortunes should have made him careful to the- point of watching each penny. There was one period, you know, when it seemed to him his career had come to an end. His wife, loyal in those most trying days, comforted and encouraged him. Finally, he managed to get an engagement play- ing in the Biltmore Cascades in New York. It is a smart supper club, but it was something of a come:down for a man who had conducted great sym- phony orchestras. Encouraged, he em- barked on a tour of the South with a sort of super-vaudeville act. They say it was an uncompromising flop. It was only because the makers of Miracle Whip, casting about for new programs, recalled the man whose Sunday evening radio concerts had been the highlight of broadcasting. He was offered a sum reported to be $4,500 a week to return to the air. He accepted. Yet even now, let his manager ap- proach him with a sheaf of business papers in his hand, and Paul gets jittery and makes determined efforts to change the subject. He can’t stand it. What do you think of that for a husband? It's Mrs. Whiteman’s own burden. But there’s one matter of money in which he’s always interested. Let’s find out by going back to a day in New York not so many weeks ago. Paul entered his hotel suite late that sunny afternoon. His face was glow- ing with boyish pleasure. He was posi- tively bubbling over. “Now what have you been up to?” demanded his wife. He led her to the window and pointed down. Her eyes were caught by the glint of the sun on the polished. trim- mings of a Duesenberg—a car which cannot be bought unless you can pay into five figures. “Nice looking car, isn’t it?” he asked, trying to appear casual. “Oh, it’s beautiful!” she exclaimed. “Well, it’s yours, my darling,’ said her adoring husband. That’s the kind of finance Paul’s in- terested in—buying things for his wife. He hasn’t forgotten the love and loyalty she gave him when he needed it most. That's the kind of husband he is. Andrea Marsh used to "one, two, three, kick'’ in a musical comedy with Ruby Keeler. But now Andrea's eighteen and has-a voice, which shd uses to great advantage on the NBC network when Ted Weems and his orchestra are turning out their tantalizing tunes.

An unfortunate incident that oc- curred years ago has made her men- tally unbalanced. But she is going to get well soon, the doctor said. “We always quiet her,” the nurse told me, “by seating her near the radio. It does something to her. She forgets where she is, that she has a doctor and nurse watching over her, and she is mentally transferred from the hospital to her past life, when she was a healthy, normal girl. She calms down, becomes more rational, she begins to relax, and in a few minutes is sitting there as restful and cool as though there had been no mental outburst a short time earlier. Then when she is in this state, the doctors can reason with her and set her on the road to recovery.” Picture, if you can, a long row of white beds in an immaculate hospital. In them are men, the majority in their thirties and forties—really in the prime of their life. Most have been here for years, and most will spend the rest of their days here. They are World War veterans—the young men who went away with a jaunty step and returned to spend the rest of their days in a hospital bed. Look—there’s an ear- phone at the head of every bed. What, then, does the radio mean to them as they lie there watching their lives Waste away! silat, our (cure; es ornnede Canal CHEERFUL face at the far corner of the room pops up. “I haven’t been outside of this hospital for over thirteen years, but I’ve been to more baseball and football games than most men walking around. The vivid broad- casts of these sporting events are just about the nearest thing to seeing one. I listened to a broadcast of a swim- ming meet the other day. I could hear the people yelling, even hear the lapping of the water! The whole event was brought to my bedside, and I felt that I was actually there.” While I was there, I witnessed a re- markable occurrence. J noticed a man walking in the hall. His body was stooped and quivering, his hand twitch- ed and he was mumbling. “Shell shock,’ the nurse whispered. Then he walked into the room where the radio was playing. Immediately his moaning ceased. His body straight- ened a bit, and an interested light took the place of the glassy stare that had been on his face. That was a mute tribute to the blessings of radio. And: what about the Forgotten Men —those men who are up in the Big House? I'll never forget the first time I visited Sing Sing with a party of friends. We were shown around, and when the guard took us to the long row of cell blocks, we found that there was an earphone in every cell. “Oh, isn’t that coddling the prison- ers?” one of the party remarked.

| are ‘locked in’ for the night. “The radio has done more to keep up the prisoners’ morale and _ preserve order than you'll ever know,” he said. “It is on every evening, after the men Instead of twiddling their thumbs from 5 to 9, getting restless and developing an antagonistic, resentful, chip-on-the- shoulder attitude, their minds are swayed toward normal thoughts and outlets by the radio. They listen to it avidly. Sporting events, news com- mentators and jazz music are their favorites. And the men are cheertful and appreciative. Coddling them? Can’t you see how it’s part of their training toward a normal, useful life?” ‘Later, Warden Lewis E. Lawes, the humane, farsighted warden at Sing Sing, said, “The privilege of ‘listen- ing in’ is esteemed by the men as greater than others they have, with the exception of mail and visits from relatives.” Tis is an excerpt from a letter that passed through their correspond- ence department some time ago. It was from a man of former social stand- ing to his wife. “T listened in on the radio last night,” the prisoner had written, “and was sur- prised to find myself in the midst of old friends. A dinner was being broad- cast, and the speakers were (he men- tioned several prominent men) and let me tell you my heart beat fast. It sounded so familiar and close to home.” ' Joe-K. is a “natural lifer.”” The same- ness of the prison routine is becoming monotonous, and he is chafing. Such an attitude is dangerous. What Joe needs is something that will make his life more interesting; some string of events that contain all those human emotions of joy, fear and unhappiness that are thwarted by the rigidity of prison life. He’s found it in the radio. You may remember when “Easy Aces” was on the air last winter. Jane was kidnapped (in the play, of course). That Was the main interest in Joe’s life. From day to day he anxiously waited to hear what had happened to Jane; cursed the kidnappers for their das- tardly plot, and under his breath he egged Ace to “go on after her and get her, big boy.” And when Jane was finally returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that some great trouble was off his chest. That interest, from day to day, kept his mind from settling into a dull, bitter groove. A very touching letter was sent out by one of the prisoners to his wife. -“T would like you and the children to listen in on that radio program,” the mmate wrote. “I'll be in my cell hear- ing that service and praying at the Same moment. We shall be together, even though far apart.” pEr’s look in at the Condemned Cells. The Condemned Cell pris- oners (CCs they’re called) are those who are waiting for the appointed time when they will walk the “last mile” to oblivion. RADIO STARS take a BEAUTY If you want a baby’s smooth clear skin, use the baby’s own pure soap Just because you’re grown-up, there’s no reason for forgetting the first beauty lesson you ever had. When you were a baby, your sensitive baby skin was tenderly cared for. Your doctor chose your soap then. He insisted on a pure soap—and your complexion was lovely! Think for a moment why doctors say: “No perfumed or medicated or colored soaps for a baby’s skin. Use Pure Ivory Soap.” It’s because a baby’s skin ts so sensi- tive. But isn’t your skin sensitive too? Why then should you be satisfied with a soap less pure than Ivory? Don’t waste another day . . . Cleanse your face gently with pure Ivory tonight. And slip into an Ivory bath... And when you come out—notice how baby- smooth your skin feels. That’s because Ivory is so pure. No color in Ivory. No strong perfume. Nothing to irritate your skin or dry out delicate skin lubricants. So take a hint for beauty from a baby —use Ivory to keep your skin young and fine and smooth. ivory soap 99 **/100°/o pure + it floats 69

So they have their own radio, It’s on all day. Just this little incident alone will show you how the radio has given the CCs a brief respite from their op- pressive, steel cages. The guard, making his usual rounds, finally came to the death house. Just before he put his key in the heavy, iron door he heard a riot of song and laughter. Quickly, he opened the door to find out what it meant. There, he saw, were the condemned men, sing- ing and laughing lustily to the radio which was going full force. They were as happy and carefree at that moment as a group of college men at a frater- nity meeting. The song? It was “Happy Days Are Here Again.” And, oh, there are loads of others to whom radio has been a super Marco Polo in opening up new worlds. For instance, Nat, a lifer who has never seen his little girl because his wife doesn’t want her to know her father is in jail. A proud smile lights up his face every time he hears the Children’s Hour. And Charlie, blind from birth, who has veal learned French by radio. And Stella, who is tied to her wheelchair and must miss _ parties.

It was a night in 1930. across Suddenly a glow lighted the sky. It brightened rapidly. Sirens shrieked and moaned all over the city. The penitentiary was afire and the convicts rioting. A news flash reached “Columbia headquarters in New York. Head- quarters immediately communicated with WAIU, then of the CBS net- work. The Columbus station reported that the outbreak was serious. A reporter, Bill Orr, was sent to the prison. He knew that there was a mi- crophone in the prison chapel and he was determined to get to it. He reached the police lines. The crack of guns pierced the surging roar of the hungry flames. The_ reporter started to force his way through the lines. Guards flung him back. “You can’t go in there. It’s sure death.” “But I’ve got to get the broadcasting equipment out.” As he gained the inner walls, agon- ized cries of convicts trapped in burn- ing cell blocks reached him. Other convicts were running amok. Bullets were flying. Ducking, dodging, dash- ing from shelter to shelter, he gained the comparative safety of the chapel. There he collared the prison preacher, Convict X46812, a negro lifer. Not knowing what moment crazed prisoners might burst into their weird studio, he made contact with the station and put the Negro on the air’ as announcer. Now we'll speed on out over the waters of the Atlantic off New London, Conn. We are aboard the U. S. Navy salvage ship, “Falcon.” Far below the surface lies the submarine ‘‘S-4.”” Once it was rammed and sunk off Provi- dence, R. I. Half a hundred men were trapped and died in her. Now she is an experimental submarine. In her are Announcer Ezra MacIntosh and Lieut. Norman S. Ives. We are to see broad- cast the test of a rescue chamber de- signed to prevent any such tragedy as once befell the submarine. A heavy boom swings the eight-ton rescue unit over the side. We see James Wallington and naval men enter. All is made secure. The com- mand to lower away is given. The bell slips below the surface. John S. Young from the “Falcon” tells the world what is happening. Then we hear the voices tosh. and Wallington. They, too, have microphones. And as they describe their sensations, they wonder to them- selves if the device will work. The chamber settles down. Will they ever make contact? Can they really bring MacIntosh and Ives back with them? A gentle bump. At last. The bell is on the submarine. Time is short.

The subma- ine hatchway is open, and MacIntosh ‘and Ives worm up into the rescue bell. ‘The hatch is closed and the bell re- eased. It begins its slow journey up- ward. It’s a long way from New London to the volcano of Mt. Kilauea, Island of Hawaii. But these daring radio men jave broadcast even from there. Up he side of the mountain, they struggled with their equipment, to the very edge of the crater. From the seething lava ‘n the cauldron a thousand feet below, acrid fumes rose on the scorching waves f heat. To protect their instruments, they built a wall at the edge of the zreat pit. Above the words of the announcer hnd Dr. T. A. Jagger, hardy volcanolo- zxist, was heard the hiss and the roar of the mammoth smelter of rocks. Tow- ering above their heads were clouds of ish dust as 25,000 cubic feet of red hot ava was blown from the crater every minute. Then, leaning over the edge, choking and dizzy from the gases, they lowered a microphone toward the devil’s brew aissing and bubbling far below. I remember two cold gray days spent aboard U: S. Navy Submarines bff New London, Conn. I had the zood fortune to accompany a group of Announcers and engineers, who, under : guidance of NBC’s energetic di- : rector, William Burke Miller, were to resent the first broadcast from a sub- marine running beneath the surface. | The “O-3” and “O-8” ran a parallel course through the choppy December sea. Between them stretched a slender telephone cable. A siren, the diving signal, rose and fell. Hatches clanged shut on the “O-3” and she nosed under. The broadcast was on. Tenseness was in the voice of James Wallington at the microphone on the Surface craft. Tenseness was in the voice of George Hicks talking from the submerging vessel. Both knew well that if these vessels veered toward one nother, a fouled propellor was the east they could expect, an underwater crash quite possible. Even as the audience listened to the description of the dive, the run under water and the rise to the surface, these ‘men remembered what could happen to submarines cruising so close together. | Then, where but the feathery wake of the “O-3’s” periscope had been, came a surge of water. A conning tower thrust into view, then a hull. The sub- marines slowed and lay heaving in the icy seas. | The program was over. The radio men were relieved, relieved because the broadcast had been a success. | I had occasion to ask Ted Husing recently about the announcers who run such risks. He was surprised. He had apparently never thought of it in that light. But it did remind him of one of tis broadcasts. He was aboard the U. S. S. “General Schofield,” seventy-five miles off the | (Virginia Capes.

An exquisite skin . free of CHAPPING AMPANA’S Italian Balm stands ready to C guard your skin as nothing else will. The makers of this original skin softener uncon- ditionally guarantee it to prevent chapping, roughness and dryness—to overcome skin- ageing more quickly than anything you have ever used. Italian Balm is utterly different. Tests re- veal that 4 out of 5 women who try it, continue using Italian Balm regularly thereafter. It is a truly scientific preparation, containing 16 ingredients — the original formula of an in- ternationally famous, Italian skin specialist. Far less expensive, too. In fact, Campana’s Balm is so superior that it has outsold all other skin protectors for years in winter-loy- ing Canada — and outsells all others today, in thousands of cities in the United States.

S. “Mt. Shasta,’ doomed to the bombing by planes, which Husing was to describe. The planes roared overhead, swooped down. Heavy bombs whined through the air and burst like great thunder- claps. Clinging to the Schofield’s rail, Husing described the action until it was over. But his personal danger had not finished. The little vessel put about for port. In the middle of the night its boilers failed. Many on the crowded boat be- came ill. Accommodations and food were inadequate. Lights out and await- ing help, they were rammed by a Coast Guard vessel. Finally they were taken in tow. Day found them nearing Fortress Monroe. Suddenly Ted noticed a great burst of water nearby. A heavy report reached his ears. Another geyser and another report. It was all too apparent what was happening. They were being mistaken by the fort for a towed target. The tow vessel churned and thrashed. At a snail’s pace they drew out of range. But the radio men were content. They had done their part. The show had gone on. They do not regard themselves as brave or adventurous, these fellows. Yet the indisputable facts remain; they have dared flame and gunfire and ocean depths. But if the listeners have heard, these men of radio are satisfied. It Pays to Be Natural (Continued from page 37) father’s footsteps. When, as a mere child, he evinced signs of musical tal- ent, they encouraged him in every way, feeling that a knowledge of music would of great value to him in church work. Whether he liked it or not, young Ed had to go to church three times a day. And he didn’t like it. As he grew old- his entire education followed along religious lines. He was sent to one theological school after another, never graduating from any. His irresistible love of fun and strong rebellion at any and every kind of restriction, made these formative years a painful recollection for all con- cerned. His lack of application was tolerated by his professors, for the sake of his father, but never analyzed. “T remember the last Commandment I broke. It was the Third,” chuckled Ed reminiscently. “And that put an end to my. budding ministerial career, and that of about a dozen of my fellow I'd always loved baseball, and I was a good pitcher, too. Only lost two games in seven years. How’s that for a record?” he bragged. “Go on, what happened ?” “Well, y’see it was a Sunday, and a bunch of us sneaked off to have a quiet little game unbeknownst to anybody. | ITOO Dainty Min.

But just like murder, baseball will out —and so were we. After being called on the carpet by the school authorities, whew-w-w-w-w—we wasn't students any longer. But no doubt, in my case, anyhow, theirs was the greater grief.” \A/HAT did you do then?” T asked. “go home?” “Not me,” he chortled. “I made tracks in the other direction. I didn’t crave to see my folks till they had time to cool off some. I bummed my way to Chicago and got a job in a honky-tonk nickelodeon in the stockyards district. It paid me all of six dollars a week, and I guess I got it because I was handier with my dukes than I was with my voice. I recall one night I was up on one of them high, narrow stages trvin’ ‘to sing an ulcerated song. A big bum directly under me, possibly fifteen feet from the piano, kept givin’ me the razz- berry. “It seems they figured this was part o the show in that district and they enjoyed the song, only because it gave ‘them an opportunity to malign and mis- treat the singer. I stood about all I ‘could of it, an’ then I jumped square across the piano, landin’ in this fellow’s lap. Inasmuch as one of my shoes came in contact with his head somewhere, the 'gentleman immediately passed out. I picked him up by his collar, dragged him up the aisle and threw him smack out in the gutter. Then I came back and sang my song without any further ‘interruption. From that night on,” Ed continued, “the management thought I was a great singer, and I played a sensational run of six months in that place.” Afterward he sang in other movie houses, and then became in turn, an evangelistic song director and a vaude- ville “single,” playing the small time -|from the Middle West to the Pacific -}Coast.

The time for his broad- cast was drawing close and McConnell was nowhere in sight. As he is a stickler for promptness, they immediate- ly came to the conclusion that something had happened to him. He rushed in at the last moment, haggard, pale, and obviously in a frenzy. There was no time to explain, but they didn’t have long to wait. No sooner was Ed on the air, than he made a dramatic appeal for the prayers of his listeners. Mary Jane, his little girl was desperately ill, and it was evident to those listening in, that the big man was shaken to his very depths. The baby passed her crisis while he was still broadcasting, but during the days following, his listeners conclusive- ly proved their loyalty and love for him. Over one hundred thousand _ let- ters poured i McConnell’s would sather tastes are be a country gentleman than anything in the world. He loves his home, which is in the outskirts of Cincinnati, and is devoted to his wife and little Mary Jane, who is now three. simple retains, is that of the restriction and poverty against which his parents were constantly struggling. As a boy, he vowed that he would never go through such penury and self-denial when he grew up. Nevertheless there were times when things were mighty tough. For instance, during his early days in radio. One of the most acute growing pains suffered by poor Ed was caused by the fact that many requests came in for his photographs. As he put it, “I only didn’t have the money for I couldn’t even buy stamps.” Finally he got his break, a commer- cial program at $75 a broadcast. “At that minute,” reminisced the big fellow, ‘“‘even Rockefeller didn’t have a thing on me. As far as I was con- cerned, it was a fortune.” Now of course, things are entirely different. He makes plenty of money, but he does not do it at the expense of anybody else. McConnell is something of a Lin- coln, of the people and for them. He is a kindly, and surprisingly un-egotis- cal man. He uses few words, but he packs a verbal wallop of pith and wis- dom which no amount of verbosity could match. Unlike many successful professionals, Smilin’ Ed McConnell isn’t averse to admitting that he has made, and still makes, mistakes. “It’s only human na- ture,” he asserts philosophically. “Why, take f’instance, my brand o’ English. Y’know, I can break English where no one else could even bend it.

Tedious ‘‘fishings” for weak, stations are eliminated in the new Round-the-World Receiver, Silver-Marshall Manufacturing pany, the manufacturers. Instant location of even the weakest stations is claimed for this set by means of an electron-coupled heterodyne oscil- lator stage. This supplies a “beat- note,” allowing the receiver to be tuned to the zero position, which is the exact point for best reception. A push button control facilitates use of this note for the tuning operation. Releasing the but- ton stops the heterodyne signal. Pp HILCO is now bragging about its great 16-X. It has a range of the air waves from 13 to 575 meters, inclined distant ILM, the Com- says sounding board, balanced power “Class A” Audio System giving up to 15 watts output, a dual ratio tuning system which provides a tuning ratio of 60 to 1 which makes exact tuning of short wave sta- tions simple and easy. Here’s a swell Zenith set I saw the other day—the Challenger Model 706. It’s a 6-tube advance type AC super- heterodyne circuit. The entire cabinet is of solid walnut construction with a beautifully figured butt walnut panel. The size is 8% inches high, 151% inches wide and 7% inches deep. Another small set that looks good to me is Model J-72 of the General Elec- tric. With seven tubes, full size dy- namic speaker, it makes a fine set. If you want to go into big money, then look at General Bicemes Model J-109. This is an automatic phonograph, com- bined with a 10-tube superheterodyne. It plays standard or long-playing records. And there’s a studio type mi- crophone for home recording. The cabinet is early English and stands 46 inches high. $269.50. Atwater Kent presents Model 627 Compact. Here is a 7-tube compact set that is remarkable in tonal quality. It has many big set features, such as 4- gang condenser — range switch — full- toned electro-dynamic speaker and 3- point tone control. $53.90, complete with tubes, is the price asked. RCA Victor has on demonstration its Radio-Fonograf, a 5-tube superhetero- dyne with the all electric fonograf unit playing standard or long-playing records. If you want to see this set, call for Model RE-40 and expect to pay about $49.95. So you see the radio people are doing their best to make it possible for you to get air entertainment in its fullest form. Now that both the networks are strut- ting around with the biggest array of talent in years, the importance of a good receiving set cannot be over- -estimated. RETAIN THE ( cauly OF YOUR SKIN!

(Continued from page 5/7) T HROUGH all these busy years, he seldom has missed a_ broadcast. Once he was operated upon for appen- dicitis. Of course that kept him away for a while. Then there was a death in his family which interrupted his schedule for a few days. Otherwise, he is there bright and early, never has been late. In the studio during a broadcast are usually just three people—Mr. Bagley, the pianist, and the announcer who also acts as an engineer. But it takes from eight to sixteen people to handle the clerical work which these broadcasts demand. That clerical work includes answering mail and _ sending out thousands of pamphlets. Once each year, he breakfasts with all the announcers and engineers who get up and handle his_ broadcasts through the various stations. In May, in eight different cities, eight different staffs of men sit down in eight differ- ent hotel dining-rooms for a Bagley breakfast. It follows his sunrise broadcast and all the men who have worked with him are present. And Mr. Bagley, who eats with the New York City group, pays the eight food checks. Only twice have his broadcasts ever been interrupted. Once was when Gov. Ely of Massachusetts fired a gun in his state to broadcast the sound around the world. But that only took a minute. The other occasion was when Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris after his heroic flight. Bagley’s exercises were interrupted by the bulletin that brought the news to American listeners. Here’s something that you may think a bit odd. In 1926 a New York daily newspaper conducted a radio popularity contest. Who do you think won? Rudy Vallee? Russ Columbo? Harry Hor- lick? Harry Reser? Or some of the others of the older broadcasters on the air? Well, Dr. Bagley was third. Art, as he is known by his inti- mates, is the whole show on his broad- cast. He does the talking, goes through the exercises, does most of his own announcing and is his own sound effects engineer. All kinds of little toys are on his table. It looks like a child’s nursery. But every one of those common-place toys produces some noise essential to the broadcast— everything from roosters crowing to the song of the Goofus bird. Now that bird is a whopper. It’s Bagley’s own creation. Here is the way he described the bird to me: “It has the head of an elephant, the body of a camel and the tail of an ostrich. It also flies backwards to keep the dust out of its eyes.” Depend upon Bagley to create something of that sort to liven up his sleepy listeners. When the hour ends, four chimes in the studio strike simultaneously with the big clock in the Tower overlooking New York’s midtown section and an- nounce to the network that Mr. Bagley has added another day to his record.

In those early hit-or-miss years of broadcasting, Milt Cross worked his head off. He announced, he sang, he wrote continuity, he took acting parts. Later, when radio became more depart- mentalized he was able to settle down to his work as announcer. The Crosses took a plain, unpreten- tious house in the residential section of Brooklyn, far from the hectic whir of Manhattan. They acquired a country place on Long Island, where they spent their summers. Eight years ago Lillian was born. She had her father’s blue eyes, and, it developed later, her father’s talent for singing. Milt Cross had two children’s pro- grams which he enjoyed immensely. One was a nursery rhyme broadcast on Tuesday afternoons, and the other was the Sunday morning children’s hour on which he acted as master of ceremonies. Lillian liked to listen to this hour, and at last her father brought her to the studio one Sunday to sing over the air. Both her voice and her personality im- pressed those who heard her. The people around the studio became inter- ested in her. Up to that time only a few of them knew that Milt Cross had a daughter, so reticent was he about his personal life. She sang several times after that. In her, Milt Cross renewed his own inter- est in singing. As you know, if you have heard him sing over the air, Cross has a fine tenor voice. At the time he went over to Newark to sing over WJZ, he was well on his way to becoming an outstanding artist. But as he went on in radio, he became especially noted as an announcer for musical programs. His musical ‘education and training stood him in good stead here. But grad- ually his work as an announcer began to overshadow the other phases of his radio activity. BUT there seemed to be good reason for hoping that in Lillian he might yet see his own early promise as a singer fulfilled. It was no mere parental pride which formed the basis for this belief. Others who heard her voice were struck at once by its quality. Then one night last spring, Lillian was suddenly stricken with appendi- citis. She was rushed to a hospital and an emergency operation was performed. But blood poisoning set in. Then the long ordeal began. For weeks she wavered between life and death. Her father only left her bedside long enough to go to the studio and then hurried right back again. Blood transfusions became necessary. Fortunately, Milt Cross is a big, full- bodied man, well over six feet tall and weighing better than two hundred pounds. During those hard weeks he gave m less than seven transfusions of his ows blood in an effort to save her. All this time, scarcely any of th people at the studio suspected what h was going through. They noticed tha the big, smiling announcer, usually s jolly and full of fun, seemed saddenec and subdued. That was all. Pat Kelly, chief of the announein; staff, knew. He had to be told so tha he could arrange for a standby an” © nouncer to take over Milt Cross’s pro” grams when Cross had to be at th” «© hospital. Perhaps you wondered wh — you did not hear his familiar voice an»: nouncing his musical programs. Bu never once, even in the darkest mo’ ments, did he miss his Sunday mornin; children’s hour, nor his Tuesday nur sery rhyme broadcast. ™ |] No one knew. what he was goin; through, for he refused to burden any one with his troubles. He still had ; smile and a cheery word for everyone He never complained, never murmured although there were times, especially o1 the children’s hour, when it was all h could do to keep the necessary tranqui assurance in his voice during the broad cast. It must have taken a very specia kind of quiet heroism to be able to doi at all. Then in the end, the little girl died. SS 48_— Sean eaare S4a43 34944. ssh. 7) oe 1. BUT the next Sunday morning, Mil Cross was there on the children’ hour, introducing the youthful artists. as usual. | Friends, knowing how hard it was fo him, urged him to give up his children’ broadcasts. But he replied that he coul not do it, that to give up these hour that he loved so much would only mak it all the harder for him. That Sunday morning program wa as hard as anything he had gon through. Once or twice his voice brok and he thought he couldn’t finish. Bu now he is glad he did. He said that he and Mrs. Cross woul never have been able to get throug! those dark hours at all had it not beei for the wonderful sympathy and con solation of Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, wit) whom Cross had been associated on on of the broadcasts. Every morning, a long, helpful lette from Dr. Cadman was delivered to then at the house. He put aside everythin; else in order to be with them during th last rites. It was his spiritual counse that brought them through. 4 Milt Cross still carries on, the sam’ old Milt—pleasant, smiling, affable though more subdued, just as he di through those even harder weeks of soul trying uncertainty.

_ nothing more than just the way Nat appens to pronounce a word. It ouldn’t sound funny to tell it, but iat’s the kind of amusement we have. “You know, once a friend invited me ') a party for college kids. I went. I as shocked, honestly. The drinking id things that went on—well, I’d never een anything like it in my life. I just ‘ht in a corner with my mouth open. ‘jy and by, one of the boys came up to ‘je and said, ‘I suppose this seems pretty ume to you, you being on the stage.’ “T can’t imagine what he thinks we 0 at parties if that seemed tame. Why, almost never drink. Never more than ne highball, if any. I’ve never been ight in my life. Neither has Nat. | “Once I was feeling pretty low, which gesn’t happen often with him around. lo I said to Nat, ‘Make me laugh.’ Just ke that, ‘Make me laugh’. You can -nagine how hard it would be with that pening. Well, Nat turned to me and jade some motions and said, ‘Googie, oogie, googie.’ I nearly died. I asked im to do it again just about every ‘jinute after that. Until it got so every- ‘lody started calling me ‘Googie.’ ” “When you strike a snag in this idyl- c married life of yours,” I asked, “does laugh ever get you by?” _“Yhere aren’t any snags,” Gracie said. THERE, I thought, is the secret of humor in marriage. Instead of cur- ng troubles, it prevents them. “Unless you call this one,” Gracie vent on, in deep thought. “One time shen we were feeling particularly jroke, the cook asked me to stop at a Pe tment store and buy a rolling pin. Now Nat had just clamped down on all \xpenditures for a while, but I thought rolling pin wouldn’t kill us. “Well, I got into the store. So far, o good. I was about to buy the roll- ng pin when the saleswoman recog- ized me. The first thing I knew there vas a whole flock of salespeople and ustomers around me.

Once he telephoned one of his sponsors and imi- tated a business rival and for ten min- utes worked up his own stock by out- bidding his sponsor for his own ser- vices. They don’t know yet why they suddenly began to appreciate him. His wiie is the toughest nut to crack for a laugh. She knows every joke in the Joe Miller book, and all the answers. In fact, it has developed into a game. It goes like this. Occasionally, Jack is missing when he should be at home and gets caught short without an explana- tion. He attempts to save the situation with a laugh. He tries out one of his next week’s radio gags. If he gets a laugh from the little woman, he knows it will panic the customers. Fannie Brice, who reached the pin- nacle of being the funniest woman in show business, was never madder in her life than when an up-de-la-da social registerite calling on them asked her husband, ““How do you like having a funny wife?” Her husband, in one of his loyal moments, put on a dead pan and answered, “Funny wife? quite know what you mean.” 3ut Fannie is the quickest to admit that it is her sense of humor that has saved her in a life of storm and stress.

Not at all. He just gave me a glassy stare and lifted his hand and dropped it saying, ‘DIE pIE die die die,’ his voice trailing off as his hand hit the floor. “T didn’t give up then. I took an- other mouthful. The faint spark came into his eyes again and he lifted his hand again and said, ‘DIE pie die die die die die.’ ” “Well, that went on until I had fin- ished the bottle. Then I just stood there crying, and I wasn’t acting now. Suddenly, after he had sat in his drunk- en stupor and said, ‘DIE pie die die die die die’ at intervals for about an hour, I began to laugh through my tears. It was terribly, terribly funny.

‘a daughter now fourteen and a son twelve, to whom she is devoted, she got her divorce. But she would not be snugly married now to Billy Rose if her sense of humor had not done the trick. He had been asking her to marry him one evening. “No.” she said rather flippantly, “I don’t think I care to.” She turned on her heel and started to do a regal stately exit from the room. Imagine her sur- prise when she felt a sudden swiit kick. She turned around at a loss for words. “Why—why—don’t you ever do that to me again.” “Well, I will,’ Billy muttered bellig- erently, “if you say such a dumb thing _ again. Now will you marry me rue Fannie looked at him standing there in dead earnest and it was too much for her. “Why, yes,” she said, and did. Tt looks like a happy-ever-after, too. You could almost say the way to a lady’s heart was through her—sense of humor. SINCE Stoopnagle and Budd have been on the air they have not only brought fun to millions, they have ac- tually saved lives. With their insanity they have saved the sanity of thou- sands. I’ve seen letters in their office telling of suicides averted in these des- perate days. Another letter was from a man and wife who hadn't spoken for three weeks, were headed straight for the divorce court. They were sitting silent and glum one evening when the voices of Stoopnagle and Budd came into the room. Without realizing it | they found themselves laughing to- gether. When two have laughed to- gether they find they have no quarrel any more. These two swore they're happy again and profoundly grateful to the salvagers of their future. That’s just one case. As to the colonel himself, let him tell how he saved his early life from de- struction. “Once upon a time, when I was but a lad of twelve, I was riding my velo- cipede helter-skelter along a country road, when I espied a lonely buttercup, Taising its yellow head high above the other flowers. “Well, this single buttercup, raising its haughty head above its fellows, gave me my first ‘love’ idea. I thought to myself: ‘Lemmy, who of your female companions has a heart and soul big enough to be able to lift ier head above the rabble ?’ “I gathered up my cap and cape and sped to a long, low rangy sort of house | twelve miles away. Lippity, lip, up the steps I went looking neither to right | nor to left. I sneaked a sly glance at the doorbell, though, before I pushed the button. Suddenly the great iron-clad door swung open and a butler in knee pants appeared. “Is Lottie in?” I inquired, pulling my- self up to my full four-feet-ten. “No,” said the butler. It was all for naught.” There was not a single dissenting voice among all these radio stars. They Were unanimous. The course of true love can run smooth, they say, if you oil it with a little comedy. s RADIO STARS YOU'RE RIGHT, JUNE KNIGHT!

Just one fellow trying to help another. That's all. In fact, his manager must keep a hawk-like eye on him, because it’s well- known in radio circles that Bing can’t say “no” to any request, whether it’s for money or some outlandish favor. Most of the boys who plug songs, | have a hard time convincing the radio stars to sing their numbers. But Bing is the song plugger’s delight. He falls for their line like a chorine falls for jewelry. One young song plugger told me earnestly, “He has the biggest heart in radio. I told Crosby that my job depended on his singing several of my publisher’s numbers. Well, he’s actually put himself out to sing them, and what's more, he’s even gone so far as to phone the publisher and tell him he was sing- ing these songs because of me.” But that doesn’t make Bing an angel looks. His impulses are generous, but alas, sometimes misdirected.

You know, clean-cut, an easy mixer, and al- ways in line for fun. Average. Re- freshingly average. He indulges in al- most every type of sport and excels in a few. Swimming, for instance. Sev- eral friends out on the Coast urged him to enter the Catalina channel swim, so good did they think his chances were. But Bing couldn’t see it at all. He plays handball daily at the club. Dick Savage, the trainer, says, “He’s the most natural handball player I’ve ever seen.” He golfs in the 80's, and belongs to a dozen golf clubs from New York to California, not forgetting Florida. As he says, “I’m just a natural born ‘joiner’.” He likes to bet. On hockey games. On prize fights. On horses. There’s even a horse named after him. He’s the most rabid fan I know. He once travelled to Pittsburgh to watch a football game, and flew back to New York just in time to edge through the studio door and go into his theme song.

At the end of the final round, the crowd was tense with excitement, as the referee stood in the center of the ring about to announce the decision. Just then, Bing got up and started to walk out because he was sure the decision would be a draw. While the crowd was quiet with hushed anticipation, all eyes on the lighted ring, Cavelli yelled out in that tense atmosphere, ‘Hey Crosby, c’mere!” then climbed over the ropes and ran down the aisle after him. Bing stopped dead in his tracks, not knowing what to think of the sudden turn of events that had focused all eyes from the ring to him. The referee called for the excited fighter to come back, but he wouldn’t stop until he finally reached Bing, and then he said, ‘Say, listen buddy, I want your autograph. Don’t leave ’til you give it to me.” I must confess if I hadn’t seen it I would hardly have believed it. I’ve seen gush- ing schoolgirls rush after their favorites for an autographed picture, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a hard- boiled fighter beg for one. There must be something to that Crosby fellow. Bing was so amazed and thrilled at this episode that he could think of noth- ing else for hours. Any big star is ac- customed to attention and fuss, and al- though Bing should be used to it by this time, he’s so genuinely unassuming he can’t take his popularity for granted. He’s afraid it’s all a dream and he'll wake up any day. The bigger he gets the more he worries. PLL never forget the time I visited him when he was playing at the New York Paramount. I saw a very nervous Bing with beads of perspiration stand- ing on his forehead. He didn’t think he’d go over. He didn’t think he’d last the week. They were crazy to pay him such a tremendous salary. When he played there ten weeks and broke all records for the theatre, he was the most amazed crooner in the world. When he talks about the Bing Crosby club in Malden, Massachusetts, his eyes light up and his grin spreads from ear to ear. This club consists of young men ranging from twenty to twenty-five years of age who play base- ball and basketball against visiting teams. Can you imagine a fan club consisting of grown men? I thought only girls, or young boys, formed them, but this is a new one on me. “Just imagine,” he said wildly, “they beat. the Boston Braves. And out of over. twenty games, they lost only one. Only one, mind you!” And so on and on.’ He’s prouder of that than he would-be if he were to get a command to sing before the King and Queen of England. There isn’t a thread of conceit in his make-up, and this has naturally made him all the more liked. Lennie Hayton, RADIO STARS NERVES CONQUERED’ 'M“ON EDGE” ) MYSELF LOSING OUT AT THE OFFICE, TOO.

But he did that last sum- mer, after’ Crosby had already achieved fame. On the other hand, Bing brought Lennie to New York and got him on that important Chesterfield program. Now Hayton is in the spotlight where his talents can be heard and appreciated. But Crosby doesn’t boast, ‘““Meet my pro- tégé,” and take credit for discovering him. Instead he says, “I owe a lot of my success to Lennie. He made a new Crosby of me.” A great sport, don’t you think? E thinks of more nutty things to say than Gracie Allen. When he re- turned to the air this winter, the Co- lumbia press department gave him a beautiful publicity build-up. All about how beautiful he thought the California sunrise was, how glad he was to be back in New York, etc. Then the newspaper reporters cornered him in his apartment and flung questions at him. Seeing a chance to have some fun, Bing said in- nocently, “All I left was a string of aspirin tablets and bad debts from Cali- fornia to New York.” And it was pub- lished, too. I must mention a word about his clothes, because they’re as much a part of him as a ten-gallon hat on Tom Mix. He’s a sartorial nightmare. Light blue jacket, ice-cream pants, black and white shoes, green shirt, orange tie and a checked cap perched somewhere on his head. Flaming golf knickers in the middle of February. It hits you smack in the face. But as he cheerfully ex- plains, “It doesn’t bother me, only other people.” Yet in spite of his flippancies, and his apparent refusal to take his work seri- ously, it’s unusual to note that he’s at his office every morning at nine. I’ve seen many people blink in surprise when Bing drawled in that husky voice of his, “Come on up around nine and we'll talk it over.” And that, incidentally, I think is the best answer to those who in- sist that Bing is following the primrose path of entirely too much wine, parties and song. Now Bing is a papa. A proud one, of course. Master Gary Evans Crosby rules the Crosby roost. I have a hunch Bing will be a swell father. For all his nutty antics and wild clothes and flippancies. Bing’s faults, you see, are all minor ones. And they are all on the surface. The important qualities like honesty and loyalty, unselfishness and honor and the capacity for hard work are all very present in Bing. And I know he will bring up young Gary to re- spect them, too. If you didn’t know Bing, you might think that all the nice things written about him were just so much press agent hooey. But that fun-loving trait in him, which must be his Irish heritage (his mother is a Harrigan), and the genuine humanness of his actions, rate him ace- high in the opinion of .all who know him. He’s a regular guy. A ladies’ man, but what’s more, a man’s man, too.

OW often have you said to yourself “Everything I eat seems to go to fat’’? How often have you wished for a way to re- tain your own normal weight—without having to deny yourself simple pleasures that others enjoy? The systems of some people (doctors call them the ‘‘low metabolism type’’) turn too much food into fat, not enough into energy. It was for exactly this type of person that Marmola was designed, many years ago. In 1907 people first heard of it. Then, increasing multitudes turned to it — until today actually more than 20 million boxes have been sold. The story of Marmola has gone ’round the world. People ask for it in California, in Eng- land — in Florida, in New Zealand. It is de- manded by thousands in style centers like New York, Miami, Hollywood. Marmola has stood the test of generations, while useless fat remedies have come and gone. Prepared by one of the world’s largest chemical labo- ratories, it supplies missing nutritional ele- ments — the lack of which cause abnormal, excess fat. Discover Marmola for yourself. When you use it, remember it is designed to work gently, naturally. It is not intended to take off large numbers of excess pounds the first week — but to be used as a sane, sensible treatment until you have approached your own normal weight.

To her- ley home, though not the same one f0 | & self as she turned to the group of admiring young men who were sur- rounding her, “Is that cocky fellow try- ing to be sarcastic?” ND at that very moment, the bat- tle of hate started. Let’s find out what there was in the background of these two accom- plished, good-looking radio singers which could make them detest each other so? Let’s turn to their earlier days for a moment. Don was a fellow who’d sought and found adventure on the road to fame. He’d climbed to the tender of the locomotive of a New York express, penniless but determined to find stage work in Manhattan, only to be or- dered off at the point of a revolver by several South Chicago railroad de- tectives. He was a man who could laugh at the memory of awaking the next morning after having slept in someone’s backyard, with the ache of hunger in his stomach, and the deter- mination to pawn his valise with the one suit of clothes it contained—only to discover it was a Jewish holiday and that no pawnshops were open. Don had another time climbed atop a New York bound train only to have a low hanging structure strike him and leave his leg torn and broken. But the agonizing hours in the hospital served to strengthen his resolution. And that sturdy purpose carried him through foodless days in New York to apart in the “Greenwich Village Follies,” and later to engagements in the smart cafés and cabarets of Europe. The man who is now a vice-presi- dent of the National Broadcasting Com- pany, John Royal, had been made pro- gram manager of WTAM in Cleveland. He remembered Don and gave him his first break in radio. But it was a fateful error of an agent who booked that station’s talent for theatres for miles around, that brought him to WLW and Jane. At the last minute, it was discovered that the theatre in which he was supposed to sing, had filled its bill, so he was rushed off to Cincinnati to sing there. There he encountered an old friend who in- vited him to a party at the home of Powell Crosley, Jr., wealthy owner of WLW. And Crosley, liking his work, put him on the air. Jane had always had her way pretty much. But at no time would she strike you as a spoiled person. No, she’s too regular for that. But she’d had too advantages of good breeding, beauty and a fine voice. Men had always paid her a lot of attention. She had turned down opportunities to. be a society ma- tron of Columbia to study at the famous Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. which Ross went. / In the midst of the gayety, someone ~ asked her to sing. When Crosley heard, |»)! she was engaged to sing over WLW. = + HERE we have them, two proud ’ and self-reliant people who'd al- ways done pretty much as theyd 4, pleased. And though beneath the sur- 5, face each felt attracted to the other, they thought they hated each other. It happens that way sometimes. Their emotional incompatability came to a head on an evening after they’d sung at an entertainment in Cin- cinnati’s Hotel Sinton. As Jane picked up her evening wrap, she caught Don grinning at her. She looked all around her, then swung on her cloak im- patiently. She knew what he was— amused at. It was the first time since he’d been at the station that she hadn't had someone to accompany her home. Not even her ardent admirers, the wealthy Taft boys, were there. Don saw his chance. “I'll take this gal down,” said the gay adventurer of song to himself. ‘Mind if I go home with you?” he demanded. Jane looked up at him quizzically for a moment. Then softly, “I’d be very | glad to have you.” _— One day the truth came out. The gossip columnists of the newspapers re- vealed that they’d quietly married. Jane) and Don paid hardly any attention to the reports, so absorbed were they in their dream of love and hope of fame. With these thoughts in his heart Don left her at Cincinnati to come to Chi- cago to seek a more significant radio outlet for their talents. He found a place with the Columbia Broadcasting System for himself, but none for Jane. So Jane had to stay at WLW. But two who love as they lovec could not remain long separated. She came to Chicago to give an auditior for the Columbia Broadcasting System The Columbia program director looked at her sternly as she steppec from the studio. “No,” he said, “In afraid you won’t do. You haven't the makings of a network singer.” “Never mind, bunnynose,” dpa forted Don. “He'll eat those words. | “Tt’s all right, Don. Don’t worry.” | THERE came the exultant day, how ever, when Jane returned to Ch cago. She had a chance to give a)” audition for a real sponsor. As the two left the hotel to go t — the studio for the audition she trippe — on the steps and fell. Don helped he to her feet. Her face became con torted with agony. It was an iron commentary that the audition she wa about to give was for the manufactur of Florsheim shoes, of all things. ae a 2 =

She essayed a step, then blanched as her weight rested on her right foot. “You're in bad shape, Jane,’ Don said. “Better not try to make it.” “Tm all right,” she said gamely. _ As she sat before the microphone, in- jured leg stretched out before her, tears of anger and pain filled her eyes. In another room, listening to her through a loudspeaker, sat a group of gray-haired business men. knew nothing of the hot streaks of pain which shot up and down the singer’s leg, knew nothing of how much Jane and Don needed success in this audi- tion. They merely sought a girl with the kind of voice they thought would ‘appeal to their listeners. When it was _ over, they scribbled something on a | We're about to go on the air. slip of paper and handed it to a page. _ The messenger entered the studio and handed the paper to Don. In the moment it took him to open it she was sick with the pain of her ankle and the agony of the certainty she'd failed. Then Don sprang to her side. “You've done it,” he cried. Once more they were together again. Yet though love and determination had carried them through thus far, their goal was still distant. Don was work- ing long hours for comparatively little recompense. He sought a more desir- able connection at the National Broad- _ casting Company in Chicago, but he could do no better there. The problem harried him night and day. Should he give up a position which was se- cure to come to New York? With the courage of their love, he took the chance. Yet it wasn’t for him- Backstage at They RADIO STARS self, but for Jane that he came once more to the towers of Manhattan. For months he sought everywhere a place for Jane in New York’s Rialto of Radio. He haunted program depart- ments, followed every possible lead. Each time he uncovered a possibility for her, Jane would come to New York by plane. There were a great many of these hurried trips between her Chicago broadcasts—so many, in fact, that it began to seem as though all his self- sacrificing efforts had been in vain. But the day came that a program was found. But what happened to Don all this while? You know how quickly people can forget a radio singer. Don knew this, and it made him more determined than ever. Jane knew as well as he, that it would have been simple enough for her to get any num- ber of people to give him a job. But he would have permitted it no more than she would have suggested it. His persistence at last brought its own reward. The Pontiac automobile people indicated their desire to listen to him. At the end of the audition, they accepted him instantly. Now Jane and Don stand once more together in a spotlight—a much more brilliant one.

When we do, you'll forget that these studio walls are bare and Jonesport, Maine, is a fishing village far away where Seth Parker himself is a stranger. You'll forget that New York’s roaring streets are thirteen floors below and that these folk wear the double-breasted and be- ruffled habiliments of Broadway. There is Seth. He is sturdy, like his forbears who sailed the main. He is amazingly dressed. Tonight he wears gray trousers, a blue shirt open two but- tons down from the collar, black sus- penders. His tie swings from a chair back in a corner. His smile is warm and hearty. Phil Lord, which is Seth’s teal name, is young in years but old in wisdom, else how could he write these Seth Parker sketches? As we wonder, we glance at the clock. The hands seem locked at 10:45. “Quiet, please.” That’s from the white-flanneled man in the corner. “Sunday evening could not draw to a perfect close without a trip up the coast of Maine to the little fishing vil- lage of Jonesport.

ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA eee nad 96 RADIO STARS bone—I mean backbone—and he was setting in the house whittling without filling the woodbox. Nell, when she come in, she let fly the milk bottle and then picked up the flatiron and lit out after him. . Snooze, he got out the back door and she must have chased him a dozen times around the house and then he spied the chicken coop door open and made a bee-line for it and got in and hooked it on the inside. She stood out in front about an hour throwing the flatiron agin’ the door and shoutin’ to him if he was a man ter come out. But he didn’t. He stayed there the whole afternoon and evening. The next day when Snooze was telling about it, he says, “She stood in front heaving that flatiron up agin’ the door and hol- lering at me ter come out, but do yer think I come out? No, sir! I’m the boss in my house and I weren’t taking none of her orders.” OW hear them laugh, Cefus, Lizzy, Ma, Leith, but especially Cefus. A minute ago Cefus was a middle-aged dignified man named Bennett Kilpack, now he is a cackling Yankee bumpkin. Lizzy steps forward. Lizzy is slender and chic and charming (privately, she is Phil Lord’s wife) but her voice is something out of a museum. “‘Cefus—Cefus—you've laughed plenty fer one story.” There is more talk sweet and honest talk, bred of sea and soil and a man’s love for his neighbors. And then they prepared to sing those hymns that have thrilled you and me many a summer Sunday night. Seth says, just as you've heard him in your own par- lor, “And now while we're kind of sitting and a-thinking things over, let’s have the boys sing ‘O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.’ Ma, would yer sound the commencing chord ?” The organ starts. It is really a tiny melodeon set in the center of the studio between the two main mikes. The song begins . . . but notice this. Ma Parker didn’t sound that “commencing chord.” Ma Parker still stands with the others. The woman at the melodeon is Polly Robertson, a professional musician. Playing that instrument on this pro- gram is her job. No one else touches it, except Seth himself who likes to finger through a number now and then. After the hymns, good-nights are said. Presently, Seth and Ma are left to- gether. Seth speaking. “Say, you’ve got ter git up early in the morning ter start work on preserves, ain’t yer?” “Oh, I can do them pretty fast. That was an awtful sweet story yer told ter- night, Seth.” “Ma, what yer want ter sing?” “Want ter do Rock of Ages?” “All right . . . what’s the commenc- ing chord?” Presently, they are singing together. But here is something you'll never learn by listening to this program on the air. Ma Parker is really three people, three separate women who make her seem one real personality to you. When she sounds that “commencing chord,’ she is Polly Robertson. When she talks with Seth, she is a charming girl named Effe Palmer. And when she sings... well, it has happened before your eyes. Gertrude Forster, a stirring contralto, took her place. She and Seth blend soft sweet words and music to make “Rock of Ages” a poignant memory. Close your eyes for a minute. Down the row of visitors I see some others doing the same thing. More likely than not, they’re closing them to keep back the tears. Why is it, what is in this Seth Parker program that tugs at the heart, that makes us ashamed for the mean and petty things we've done or the hurt we've caused others. Every man and woman must have his own answer. I know I’ve got mine. HERE it is. Those hymns take me back to a day when I was six years old, a kid lying on the parlor floor playing with toys, to the nights when my mother and father sang those same hymns together in the quiet of the Sab- bath night. I was too young then to understand such things as love and de- votion, but here in Ma and Seth I see again my own loved ones who have gone on to a heavenly parlor. I hear their voices, just ordinary dollar-a-dozen voices like Seth’s, finging down the years. And my heart aches at the mem- ory of the disappointments I caused them, at the impassable gulf that now separates us. What do I care if Ma Parker is three people? Or if Seth is a young busi- ness man with hardly a gray hair in his head? His message does something to me, to millions like me. But here . . . Seth remembers those preserves again. His kindly corn-row voice turns gentle and soft. Look. The words slide through his twisting lips and his forehead turns to deep wrinkles as he goes into the Seth Parker character. “Speaking about preserves,” he says, “did yer ever hear that recipe how ter preserve young ‘uns ?” Seth chuckles into his imaginary whiskers. In a corner, Howard Petrie rises to his announcer mike. The clock hand is near the quarter hour. “Yer take one big grassy field, one half dozen young ones, two or three small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles. Mix the young ones and the dogs well. tergither and put them in the field, stirring constantly. Pour the brook over the pebbles, sprinkle the field with flowers, spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the hot sun, When brown, remove and set ter cool in the - bath-tub.” The program’s almost over. Just one more hymn. Together, they sing again. Lead, Kindly Light, Amid tl’ encircling gloom... In the control room, engineers are turning knobs, fading their voices out | of a million loudspeakers. Petrie speaks swiftly. We snap back to reality, back to this studio from the magic Jonesport that Phil Lord and his company create in Studio F. : And then the broadcast is over, sig- naled by the tiny red light turning white on the announcer’s board. We file through the door, part of us, while the other visitors cluster about the young man who was Seth Parker a moment ago and is now Phil Lord. From him they want just a word. Just now Effie Palmer stepped back af |

State RADIO STARS The Band Box (Continued from page 45) to send the newer orchestra abroad for a round of engagements and put Cab back in his old hangout. @® What's your favorite tune? Of course, favorites of one month may not be favorites the next month—you know how fancies change. But a few weeks ago, “In the Valley of the Moon” came first in sales, and that’s a good way to judge them. Next came “Sweetheart Darlin’,” followed by “Stormy Weather.” Close behind were ‘‘Isn’t It Heavenly ?”, “Hiawatha’s Lullaby” and “Lazy Bones.” @ Red-headed, blue-eyed Peggy Healy, the tiny Irish lass from Paterson, New Jersey, who is the sweetheart of Paul Whiteman’s NBC show, celebrated her first anniversary with the orchestra last August. She was only eighteen years old when she began her career one year ago, but old enough to win a place with Whiteman in an audition where she competed with one hundred and seventy- eight others. @ Did you know that Wayne King, “The Waltz King,” was a certified pub- lic accountant, banker, automobile re- pair man and insurance salesman _be- fore he became an orchestra director? And when he did discover himself he first played a clarinet in a three-piece orchestra. Then he tooted a sax in several Chicago orchestras, finally or- ganizing his own in 1926. @ Edwin Franko Goldman, the famous band leader whose music has been com- ing to you from Central Park in New York City via NBC, now holds the rank of Cavaliere of the Order of the Crown of Italy. The honor comes from King Victor Emanuel II of Italy in recogni- tion of Goldman’s efforts in the cause of Italian art. Antonio Grossardi, Italian Consul General in New York, conferred the honor at the direction of the King. @® One of the outstanding hit tunes of the day is “Blue Prelude” composed by Joe Bishop, saxophonist with Isham Jones’ orchestra. When Joe wrote the song, he decided to pass it through the hands of a third party, rather than pre- sent it himself to Isham for approval. He wanted his leader to play the num- ber for its merits, without the knowledge that Joe had written it. Jones had the manuscript ccpies passed around to the members of the band. While the boys ran through it together, Bishop, anxious to learn the verdict, neglected to play a certain pas- sage. Tsham stopped the music and, turning to his saxophonist, said: “Say, Joe, you'd better take home a copy of this song, and after you think you *ve learned it, we'll try it over again.’ * For that Starry~eyed Look fe Let us ititroduce you to a gadget that you'll bless all the rest of your life.
