AND HIS INCHES HAVE BEEN EARNING DOL- LARS EVER SINCE OHNNIE sits on the pinnacle of success. And, as he says, “it’s comfortable enough.” He sits on telephone books, too. His ma keeps an extra couple of New York’s big ones around so that Johnnie can lean his elbows on the table and be comfortable like the rest of us are at dinner. “Call for Philip Morris.” Recog- nize it? That’s Johnnie. Johnnie Roventini. He gives that persuasive call which comes to you with Leo Reisman’s orchestra with vocalizing by Phil Duey and Sally Singer on Tuesday evenings at 8 o'clock EST over NBC. His cheerful, impudent face smiles at you from uncounted thousands of advertisements and displays. He opens hotels; gets keys to cities; leads parades; and attracts mobs at all his personal appearances. And that’s pretty good, isn’t it, for a young man who is only forty-three inches high? RADIO'S Litre STAR Johnnie tells a lot of amusing joke about his height. There was the tim that he went to a movie betweet broadcasts. The pretty cashier a the box office took half fare out o his dollar. When Johnnie shove back the change and demanded “ful man’s fare, please,” the girl was s surprised she stuck her head out 0 the cage to find out if he were kid ding. No kid he. One of his hobbies is collectin; baseballs. And he has dozens witl famous autographs. But in all thes years Johnnie has never been able t fanagle a bat. “They told me wasn't big enough,” he laughs. When the St. Louis team was a the Yankee stadium in New York Philip Morris almost lost their pag boy voice, for the team was seriousl considering kidnapping him as mascot. Many fans wonder how this youn fellow got his job. Well, last yea when the Philip Morris people wer

looking for the ideal page boy for their broadcasts, they canvassed New York’s leading hotels asking for the best bellhop in town. The answer was unanimous, “Johnnie at the Hotel New Yorker.” So he pone the tiniest page boy in America’s paid. But success hasn't fade’ Johnnie high-hat. He’s still aces high with his ex-teammates for he can’t forget where their good word landed him—on that pinnacle. Being tiny—he weighs less than fifty pounds—has been _ bringing Johnnie luck for the past five years. In fact he got his first job as bellhop because of his size. And his inches have been earning his salary ever since. Once someone asked him what would happen to his job if that name he pages should suddenly answer. Johnnie said he didn’t know what would happen to the job, but the answering name would get a pack of Philip Morris Cigarettes. No danger ef that kind of a chap worrying about his job for with Johnnie, you see, his employer comes first. By ‘the way, that same employer is very much attached to this little page. Everyone becomes attached to him. At the studios, he is a great favorite. But his size is inconvenient on occasions, too. For he must have all his clothes specially made. And that’s one big reason he goes collegiate— without a hat. Then each morning he experiences the dread of being stepped on in the crowded subway. He dives for a-corner and squeezes into it until the train arrives uptown. If you’ve ever been to New York, then you realize that nothing can be so precarious as trying to board a subway train in the morning rush hour. But Johnny has to brave the rough crowds, for in spite of stardom he, like any other working man, must report to work around nine or ten for rehearsals. And to get his other jobs lined up for the day. As you prob- ably know, Johnnie is sent all around the country at any odd time. Some- times he goes by train. Again you might see him traveling in his Austin painted like a Philip Morris cigarette package and with a full-sized chauf- feur outfitted to match. Johnnie in his public appearances wears his jaunty red uniform that marks him as a national celebrity. On cool days you'll see a buff wool cape about the size of a table napkin thrown carelessly across his shoul- ders. Today, because the radio public is delighted with his voice, this diminu- tive youngster has become a big little star on a nationally broadcast pro- gram of NBC.

Those were the eat-drink-and-dance days when George was the hottest boy in town. Hot, that is, in the sense of writing out those jumpy-tumpy tunes with that certain something that set toes cutting didoes. Today, he’s graduated from all that. Today, Mr. George Gershwin is Feen-a-mint’s ambassador of good health, a Pulitzer prize winner, and the concoctor of much of America’s brightest music. George first began his ambassador- ing during the winter of 733-’34. Probably you heard him with his... “Good evening, this is George Gersh- win speaking.” Or the tinkly hubbub of his prancing fingers when he undertook to interpret various of his BLACK OR WHITH BRISTLES VIOLET AND GREEN 8 George Gershwin, the ambassador of good health, on the CBS Feen-a-mint program Thursday evening from nine to nine-thirty EST. © UWE. THE PIANO well-known triumphs of the past. Now, when the frost is on the pumpkin and the corn is in the shuck, George returns to us with a unique radio show. It is unique because Sir Gershwin is the only Pulitzer prize winner on record who sets himself to the weekly task of turning out a radio broadcast. These coolish evenings when you hear the delicate fanfare of his piano- playing: or the dignified sincerity of his “‘from me to you” talk, don’t get the idea that he is a flat-footed: old granddad with a silvery beard clear down to here. As a matter of fact, he’s full of the hustle and bustle of the city that whelped him. He’s as alive as a Neon sign and much more entertaining. Musical prodigies are often mama’s

boys grown up. Not our friend Gershwin. George comes from a fighting sector of the city. Kid gangs made you fight whether you liked it or not. And when you took music lessons, you fought twice as often. Maybe that accounts for some of the ruggedness of his compositions, Or for the success that his talent has brought him. “I Got Rhythm” is one of his big numbers. Remember “Of Thee I Sing, Baby?” And “’S Wonderful.” There’s a story about “’S Won- derful.” George formerly’ grabbed his midday snack at an off-the-arm eatery along the street called Tin Pan Alley. One of “his favorite expres- sions at the time was “How’s tricks?” The girl in the cashier’s cage chewed gum and made change. For six months, Gershwin gave her a cheery “How’s tricks, sweetheart?” One day he was stuck for a song title. Paying his check, he tossed her the usual sign-off. She gave him her six- months’-old answer: “?S Wonderful.” He wrote the song that afternoon. It went into a show in production. Inside a month, most of America was singing and whistling and stamping for its rhythm. It lifted George Gershwin up another rung on the ladder of success. The girl is still chewing gum and making change. And she still says, “’S Wonderful.” Danny Malone rode to stardom in England, then brought his tenor voice to America and NBC. He's __ twenty-three years old and happily a married—a newly-wed. RADIO STARS Think of the many times a day you powder your face. And all the time you may be only succeeding in making yourself look years older than you really are! It’s anactual fact, as youcan readily demonstrate, that the wrong shade of face powder can add years to your looks. Just as the wrong color hat or dress can make you look dowdy and years older than your age, so can the wrong shade of face powder make you look worn and faded, and, apparently, years older. It’s a shame, the women who are innocent vic- tims of the wrong choice of face powder shades! Otherwise pretty, young and fresh-looking, they actually, if unknowingly, make themselves look years older than is their age. Are You Being Fooled? Is the shade of face powder you are using making you look your youngest and freshest or is it mak- ing you look years older than you really are? It all depends on how you choose your shade. It’s a “snare and delusion” to choose a face powder shade simply on the basis of type. A brunette may have a very light skin while a blonde may have a very dark one. Moreover, to try to match any tone of skin is practically impossible, for there are endless variations of white, ivory and olive skin. A face powder shade should be chosen, not to match any particular type, but to flatter one. What would be the most flattering to one shade of = 4 eal Gi 13 OUT OF 20 WOMEN USE THE WRONG SHADE OF >.

Here is Muriel Wilson writing the story of her surprise visit to Holly- wood to interview Lanny Ross. Lanny got the delight of his life when Mary Lou walked into the radio studio in Hollywood during his program. Macy Lo VISITS TARPELS? You'd certainly think that Mary Lou would get her share of them broadcasting on the Maxwell House Show Boat and living in the scintillating radio sphere, wouldn't you? 3ut until recently she hasn’t had them all. Since I’m really Mary Lou myself, I can speak with authority. I must tell you that the trip I just made to Hollywood to do an extra special interview of Lanny Ross for RADIO STARS and to broadcast with him from there has been just the biggest thrill ever. Like every woman I’ve always wanted to write. I wanted to when I first began singing on the Show Boat hour and I still do. No amount of love for singing By Muriel Wilsor could change that. So when the editor of RADI STARS asked me to do the story I accepted almost be fore he had the words out of his mouth. Because th story was to be about Lanny, it was so much the bettet You know, of course, that Mary Lou and Lanny o the Show Boat hour are in love on the air.

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

RADIO STARS I THE BEST BOY IN THE BAND By Adele Whilely Fletcher THE clerk at the Marriage License Bureau was sorry but he couldn’t issue a license. The girl had been so honest about her minority. “Seventeen,” she’d said proudly, as if she thought this an age ripe and mature. There were, of course, other indications of her youth, Such unadulterated happiness in her eyes as diminishes with adult years. A warm eager rush to her words. How- ever, all of these things might have been overlooked if she hadn’t made it so clear that she was under the age where a girl can marry without her parents’ consent. A consent, obviously, not to be had in this instance. Even her name was romantic. Ramona. And the tall, young boy Taking time of between rehearsals. Wide World >

RADIO STARS WHEN RAMONA PLACED HER BET ON MUSIC, SHE WON A JOB—AND A PARTNER— FOR LIFE standing beside her—How- ard Davies—-a good Amer- ican name, that. Like the boy somehow, unaffected, simple, honest. “Come back tomorrow,” the clerk whispered to them standing there so young and discouraged before him. ‘Go to the other fellow. Don't come to me. See? Say you're twenty-one. That'll fix it!’ They thanked him. And the next morning as the doors opened he saw them come in, go to the other fel- low, and fill out a blank with their little white lies. But he pretended not to. see them at all. Sometimes love comes swiitly. It did to Ramona and Howard Davies. Ra- mona played the piano in Don Bestor’s band. Howard played the tuba. Three mouths from the night Ramona first played with the band and she had met Howard they were married. “Being the only girl in that band wasn’t the lark you might think,” Ramona says, completely frank, as usual. “Nights we worked and all day I was alone, for every last man in the crowd was a golf enthusiast. Immediately on getting up in the morning they traipsed off to the links and there they stayed until it was time for them to come home and get dressed to go on the job. “I probably was the loneliest girl in the world. And the most miserable. I’d been used to friends and a family around me. Now I felt stranded, besides several boys in the band whom I had admired from a distance turned out to be prize stuffed shirts. I couldn’t stick them.” Ramona wouldn’t stick a stuffed shirt anywhere under any circumstances. She has no time for pretense for she’s too busy dealing with reality and finding it intensely worth while even when it is most unpleasant. i Don Bestor first heard Ramona play the piano in a radio station. She had filled in on the air while he and his band were tuning up for a program. It was her vi- brant personality as well as her playing that impressed him. And finally, by promising to look after her, he gained her mother’s consent for her to play and travel with them. ; Don appointed Howard Davies as Ramona’s escort. It was Howard Davies who saw Ramona from her hotel to the theatre and from the theatre to her hotel Culver You hear Ramona on Paul Whiteman's Thursday night show. Howard came from a good substantial family and he didn’t drink. In choosing him to look out for Ramona, Don Bestor was living up to every last promise he had made her apprehensive mother. The first night she and Howard found the way from the theatre to the hotel moderately long. They talked about the band. They agreed Don Bestor was one grand guy. But before the end of the week they found the way home no distance at all. Howard began to search about for longer routes. Now he and Ramona talked about themselves. They felt secretly glowing and gloriously alive. OW when anyone looked at Ramona as she walked so surely at Howard Davies’ side a curious sense of pride turned within him. He began to notice a dozen little things about her and to find every blessed one of them strangely endearing. He blamed himself for an utter fool because he previously hadn’t noticed how deep and warm her eyes were. It never occurred to him before that her eyes were so deep and warm beneath her smooth forehead; that because of him they possessed a new light, a greater warmth. This did occur to Ramona, however. Women always are quicker to see such things. After saying goodnight to Howard Davies, Ramona used to stand intrigued before her own reflection in the glass. Always it was as if she was looking at herself for the first time. Her new love- liness had nothing to do with (Continued on page 85) 17

RADIO STARS ™ Gisson Famiry MARTY, AS CLUB MAID, gives a good performance when she tells Jane to use Ivory Flakes for her stockings just as fine stores advise. Good stores do tell you to use Ivory Flakes for your stockings. And here’s why: The sheer silk of stockings is very sensitive. It needs a pure soap. Ivory Flakes are so pure that both the makers and sellers of fine stockings recommend them. These people know silk. They like the way Ivory Flakes are shaved up into tiny, curly wisps, too. Ivory Flakes won’t flatten down on your stockings to cause soap spots and runs! And here’s a thought for you thrifty girls—Ivory Flakes cost less than other “silk stocking” soaps. There are lots more ounces in the box! Just hold on to that thought and the next time you're at your grocer’s merely say, “A box of Ivory Flakes, please.” IVORY FLAKES - 99**ho0%/o PURE ‘"LADY, WHY YO’ LEAVE dis chile wif me?” gasps Sam. “Yo’ train goin’ soon.” ““Where’s the station drug store? Where’s my head?” demands Nurse Tippit. ““Why did I forget to pack Jerry’s cake of Ivory?” “Lots o’ time,” says Sam, turning smooth as a chocolate cus- tard, now that he knows the reason. Then he chuckles to Jerry, “So she’s goin’ to keep yo’ 99 44/100% pure.” ““PURE IVORY SOAP FOR BABIES’’ SAY DOCTORS 18 IN THE DRESSING-ROOM “’Scuse me, Miss Jane, but yo’ sho’ is luxurious on stockings.

eotest i> Pe MR. and Mrs. Al Jolson (she’s Ruby Keeler) are called radio’s most devoted couple. The big picture above shows the love birds in front of their Scars- dale, New York, home where they summered while Al appeared on the Paul Whiteman Music Hall broadcasts over NBC Thursday nights. The smaller picture shows the radio-movie stars in their garden. That smile of Al’s might be due to his good prospect for corn on the cob. Do you think that’s the reason for it? Al’s next movie, to be released this fall, will be titled “On with the Dance.” Ruby has just finished her movie, “Dames,” in which she again plays oppo- site Dick Powell. Already she’s at work on a new one to be called ‘‘Flirtation Walk.” It’s all about what happens on that famous walk at West Point. Incidentally, that’s wlere the picture was made. You'll be seeing it before Christmas.

Bert Longworth HE’S a regular fellow, this great big success, and probably got that way because he is. Everywhere Dick goes he leaves a host of friends and admirers. You would never guess it now, but Dick Powell tells us he started life as a country bumpkin. He was born way out in Mount View, Arkansas, and says he was six before he even saw a trolley. After one year at college, he deserted the old alma mater for song and became a church chorister in Little Rock. When he was offered a job as soloist with a concert orchestra in Louisville, Kentucky, things began to happen to young Powell. Within a few months he landed in Pittsburgh as the “singing master of ceremonies.” Pittsburgh voted him a swell entertainer and a divine crooner, but could only hold on to him for a couple of years. Then a scout from Warner Brothers discovered the good-looking crooner and Dick landed on top of the world. “Blessed Event” was his first picture, and all of you remember “42nd Street” and “Golddiggers.” You will soon be seeing him in “Flirtation Walk,” and Dick is better than ever. His new radio program, “Hollywood Hotel,” goes on the air Fridays from 9:30 to 10 p. m. EST, beginning October 5 over one of the biggest networks in CBS history Rowene Williams is the girl who will play and sing with Dick on this program sponsored by the Camp- bell Soup Company.

Maurice Goldberg TO HER radio audience, she is Portland Hoffa, stooge to Comedian Fred Allen of NBC. To her family, she is Mrs. Allen. She was born in Portland, Oregon, so the Hoffa family proceeded to name her Portland. Miss Hoffa brushed up on reading and writing at Jamaica, New York, where, they say, she got more kick out of playing basketball and practicing archery than she did figuring out the whys of chemistry or the theories of geometry. While still below voting age, Portland joined George White’s Scandals, danced and sung her way into two other Broadway shows and proceeded to fall head over heels in love with Fred Allen. They were married and together they started their radio careers. They first went on the air in 1932, and listeners have been served a goodly helping of their humor each season since. Always Portland talks about her “Poppa,” who is now about as well known to loudspeaker addicts as Gracie Allen’s (no kin) missing brother. Although Husband Fred probably won’t admit it, Port- land has a hand in writing those programs. Even when she isn’t able to contribute a good gag, she sits back and listens to those Fred picks and tells him frankly if they are good or bad. Tune in this program at 9 p. m., EST, Wednesdays over an NBC red-WEAF network, and enjoy an hour of dry humor that is really very funny.

RADIO ABIES Wanted! If young, married, childless couples could get hildren the same way they do ice or milk, that is what cards in the windows of lots of radio couples homes would request today. Children wanted. Wherever you go in broadcastland you hear them talking about the babies they want to have. You may ask yourself why is it, and provide your own answer. Possibly because Roosevelt is President, and the depression is over. But I think it is just because the stars have lonely hearts and realize that fame and fortune can never compensate for the emptiness of life without children. Amazingly enough, among those whom I know to be actually seeking children for adoption today are George Burns and Gracie Allen, Mary Livingston and Jack Benny, Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, Jack Denny and his Missus, and Jack Pearl and Mrs. Pearl. : ’ Sounds like the dream of an inebriated press-agent or a star-gazing loon, doesn’t it? I was skeptical myself about the sudden rush for made-to-order babies till I got some sound information from headquarters. In case you don’t know, headquarters in the baby adoption business is the babies’ home just outside of Chicago, The Cradle, where Evanston debutantes, college girls and poverty- stricken mothers all leave their unwanted babies for adop- tion. And believe it or not, there aren’t enough babies to fill the demand this year. There, wealthy women with ermine-trimmed coats, movie stars like Miriam Hopkins, and just plain middle-class folks go to find the adorable, cuddly babies of which they’ve always dreamed. “You can adopt three kinds of babies,” an official at The Cradle said. “The child of married parents, the foundling of whom nothing is known, and the child born out of wedlock. Right now we have several orders from radio stars for all three types.” George Burns and Gracie Allen are perfectly willing to take a foundling. “As long as the baby is healthy, I don’t see what difference it makes who her parents are,” Gracie told me. “I want a six-months-old baby girl so I can bring her up from the start. What color eyes or hair she has or what way her nose turns doesn’t matter. But I do hope she looks bright.” _Do you want to know the real reason the Burnses de- cided to adopt a baby? George and Gracie had been think- ing of it for a long time, but thinking was as far as it went until a seemingly insignificant incident in Hollywood last summer made Gracie really do something about it. While A boy and a girl are on the shop- ping list of Mr. and Mrs. Jack earl who want two at once. Culver soon. will Some healthy little girl very find a home with Gracie Allen and George Burns. STARS making “Many Happy Returns,” Gracie and George lunched at The Brown Derby with Wallace Beery. He had brought along his little adopted daughter, Carol Anne, who was so darn cute Gracie couldn’t take her eyes off her. Then and there she decided she’d go baby shopping without delay. She'll call her baby Sandra Burns. “The only trouble,” she said, “is that the initials S.B. on underwear and baby things might seem a little queer, don’t you think? “There’s one thing you may be sure,” she told me, “neither George nor I are going to try to remodel little S.B. I love clothes and feminine trinkets and I could spend the rest of my life shopping. But if little Sandra turns out to be as solemn as an owl and not at all interested in finery, I'll let her go around reading philosophy books and wearing sackcloth and ashes and I won't care a bit. “Tt seems to me that most women who have trouble with their adopted children really / cause it themselves. = Dreaming of children for 7 many years, they build ' up an exact image of be”? what their little Toots j will be like.

RADIO STARS WHEN the flowers bloom in the spring, tra-la-la, you can walk along flower-scented paths in the park and make love to the girl of your dreams. When the moon throws its silver light over the night-darkened water, you can hold the girl you adore in your arms and whisper sweet nothings into her shell-pink ear. If later, you should fall out of love with her, you might be pestered with a few telephone calls, but that slight annoyance would be the only price you would have to pay for love, if you’re the average young man. But the poor radio stars! If they make love in the spring, tra-la-la, they'll have to pay plenty of do-re-mi, tra-la-la. If they decide not to marry the girl, they'll be sued for breach of promise. If they go ahead and marry her and the marriage turns out unhappily, they'll be nicked for plenty of alimony. In plain dollars and cents, the cost of love on Radio Row is terrifically high.

Because he had the misfortune to fall in love with a woman who did not love him, Rudy Vallee is paying temporary alimony of $100 a week, and is constantly being harassed by law- suits, the object of which is to make him pay more. Dave Rubinoff is being sued for $100,000 by a gal named Peggy Garcia who claims he made love to her, and for $169,000 by the wife from whom he was divorced seven years ago. How do they feel, these radio stars, about paying this high price for love, love which they thought was com- pounded of moonlight and ecstasy and which turned to cheap tinsel in their hands? How do they feel about pay- ing a large part of their fortunes and their future earnings to the women who, in many cases, are their worst enemies ? Brother, can’t you guess ? Take Gene and Glenn, for instance. Besides the $150 a week, which he pays to the ex-Mrs Rubinoff is being sued by two women, one an ex-wife who demands $169,000.

RADIO STARS SUNG TO THE TUNE OF PLENTY SHOTS FALL IN LOVE — AND MUCH AS $500 WEEKLY Albert Gene, Gene Carroll gave her all his real estate and an equal share of his stocks and bonds, worth about $25,000. He also agreed to keep up his payments on a $100,000 life insurance policy, which she'll collect if anything hap- pens to him. “Glenn and I make $1,000 apiece each week,’’ Gene told me, “but we pay a continuity man $250 a week; we pay a secretary; I have my hotel bill, garage, meals and clothes to provide for. Uncle Sam takes a huge slice of my salary for income tax. The result is that the alimony I pay is about fifty per cent of my net income. “IT wouldn’t kick about that, but if Glenn and I ever make more money, our ex-wives can demand more ali- mony, although they've done nothing whatsoever to deserve it. When we're out of work for a few weeks, we still have to pay. We were laid off for five weeks between the time we left Cleveland and established ourselves over a national network from New York.

A pretty expensive vacation that would be!” I wondered what Gene and Glenn’s ex-wives had done to deserve all this money. “Did your wife help you achieve success?” Gene. “T should say not,” he said. “She wouldn’t even listen to my program!” “But she made a home for you, didn’t she?” “No. That was one of the reasons for our breaking up. She never wanted a home. We lived in hotels all the time.

ROXY IS BACK! RO: aay, stood smok- ing in silence on the balcony of his spacious Central Park West apartment that cool gray summer morn- ing. He had just re- turned from his prolonged vacation. His eyes were fixed dreamily on the magnificent crag that is Radio City shouldering through the mists above the uptown skyline of stone and brick. There it stood, symbolic peak of his career, his dream made stone and steel, his inspiration made reality—the pinnaele of twenty-seven successful years during which the name of Roxy was the magic word in show business. There it stood, a monument to his greatest triumph— and his most crushing defeat. For the name of Roxy is no longer connected with the project which he had once hoped would be his crowning achievement, his me- mento to posterity. Even that famous apartment of his, ceiling of the Music Hall, now stands empty, a show place for privileged visitors. In that apartment the most dramatic scenes of his tempestuous life were played. In it, he toiled endlessly to bring his dream to final fulfill- ment, fought his battles with the big wigs of the entertain- ment and financial worlds. From its pleasant intimacy, through his private porthole, he could look down upon the largest stage in the world and watch with anxious eye the presentations of his conceptions. All this was his triumph. Twice he went out of there. Once he was carried out on a stretcher, expected to die. Once he walked out, forever, still a sick man, with a typed copy of his resignation in his pocket. This was his defeat.

I couldn't help wondering what his emotions ¥ must be on seeing that building at night, a black mass bathed in “# the reflection of lights that once } burned to form his name, or gray and unreal, rising like a mirage, on such a morning as this. Then as though in answer to an unuttered question he spoke. “T have no regrets, no bitterness,” he said, “on the contrary my experience has given me something of great value. It has matured and mellowed me. I have learned to take things a little more quietly, a little more philosophically, without exacting such a toll of myself. “The creative spirit may be set back, but it is never destroyed.

Thousands of business men, both large and small, suffered what Roxy has suffered. They, too, experienced the blighting pain of seeing the labor of years crumble to dust before their eyes.

The next ten years he spent try- ing to find himself, working vari- ously as a book agent, a private in the Marine Corps, as a miner in the Pennsylvania coal fields. All this time he was apparently getting nowhere, but unconsciously he was acquiring that wide knowl- edge of human nature which was to be so invaluable to him later.

RADIO STARS Wide World AUSTIN MacCORMICK WE WANT The hottest problem in the broadcasting frying pan is that of how much or how little news the networks should broadcast. Well, how much should they broad- cast? Your answer is as good as ours. Newspapers are quite frank in their insistence that news is property which they own, and broadcasts of news hurt the sale of that property. Many of them are belligerent in their insistence that radio stations broadcast very little news—a decision, by the way, that is entirely proper from their point of view. On the other hand, broadcasters are able to reach the ears of the nation in a split second. A Dillinger killing or an attempt on the President’s life is big news and as such should be given to the public at the earliest pos- sible moment. In the formation of the Press-Radio News Bureau, newspapers and broadcasters have reached a common ground which apparently satisfies them both. But does it satisfy the public? Are the abbreviated broad- casts now in effect giving radio listeners what they want? Frankly, we do not pretend to know. But in our efforts to get a cross section of opinion, we asked some outstanding citizens what they thought about it. Their statements reveal some unexpected and exciting angles in the situation. Across the page you will see what they have to say for the “forgotten listener.” THE EDITOR. 28 Wide Worl ROGER BALDWIN | MRS. GELINE MacDONALD BOWMAN President, The National Federation of Business and Pro fessional Women's Clubs, says: “Business women with the multiple duties facin; them today need to budget and conserve their time alon; with the conservation and good management of thei income. For this reason news over the radio is par ticularly helpful to such women, and probably there i no feature brought into the homes of Americans toda’ which can have such constructive educational value a the circuits devoted to certain periods of news broad casts. I do not consider the radio a competitor of th newspaper, for certainly every person who wishes to b well-informed needs to read daily the best news dis patches and editorial comments afforded them in th newspaper columns. News hours over the radio, how ever, with a digest of the happenings of the moment make an excellent combination for a well balanced, up to-date mind.” LEWIS E.

Many of them sub- | seribe to daily papers and many more would do so if ‘they had the funds. Yet not one of them, I dare say, * would give up his daily paper for the necessarily meagre " tadio news reports. In fact, it is my considered opinion ‘that news broadcasts stimulate and promote the desire _ for more complete knowledge of what is happening out- jiside the walls. Lowell Thomas, Edwin C.

Far from diminishing the circulation of the newspapers, I think the _ frequent release of spot news to the broadcasting systems for dissemination would have the opposite effect.” ROBERT B. IRWIN {a blind man) Executive Di- 1] _ tector, American Foundation for the Blind, says: ih STARS Wide World WARDEN “LA WES “The blind men and women of America have been hurt by the change in the method of broadcasting news. They do not like it. Hundreds of them, particularly in the south and west, have written to us, protesting bitterly. beseeching us to do what we could to effect a return to the old system. We have, of course, made representations on their behalf but so far without result. “The blind listeners of the south and west have been more vehement in their protest because in those regions the newspapers and radio stations were in the habit of giving long and leisurely news recitals over the air: usually averaging about half an hour. These were given at convenient hours, times when it was pleasant to sit and listen to a news broadcast. The sentiment of eastern listeners among the blind is the same. It has not fourd quite as strong expression because news broadcasting in the east never assumed the importance it did in other parts of the country. “The discontinuance of the more comprehensive system of news broadcasting is a real deprivation and we feel that the method now in effect should be modified so that the blind again can have an opportunity to know what is going on in the world. There is a blind person for every thousand persons who are able to see, in this country, about 120,000, most of whom look to the radio for their contact with events, with lii« “News flashes. are not enough, not, at any rate, thos 29 <

RADIO STARS that last five minutes only. I, personally, have tried several times to listen in on the night news broadcast but have never suc- ceeded in finding it. A five minute period is, as we all know, hard to find and easy to lose in the haystack of radio. Besides, under the present arrangement, they come at an hour when most blind people are sound asleep. At least this is true for the evening broadcast which in New York has been put out as late as midnight. “We do not ask for a great deal. We would be satisfied with two fifteen minute news broadcasts, one at about 7:30 in the morning, a breakfast program, the other at about eight in the evening, an after dinner set of flashes. Under this arrangement, I féel sure, most of the protests would cease. A half hour of news supplemented by pe- riods of comment and interpretation by such men as Boake Carter and Edwin C. Hill should be sufficient.” W. T. WESTON, General Secretary, Seamen's Church Institute of America, says: “Sailors must have their news. It means more to them than it does to most people. In all their spare moments, they read—old newspapers, magazines, books of facts. Naturally they feel any reduction in the quantity of news, particularly sailors on freight vessels. Accustomed to fairly long broadcasts, they now get headlines only. 3ut we have heard no complaints. They are a philosophic class of men. They accept such changes calmly, knowing that what is a deprivation to them must be the same to other people, and so cannot remain. “There is this to be said for seamen on ships in the European trade, in mid-Atlantic the wireless operator can pick up the news from the Eiffel Tower and British stations and so supplement the meagre American ration.” AUSTIN H. MacCORMICK, = Commissioner, Department of Correction, New York City, formerly Assistant Director, U. S. Bureau of Prisons, says: “You can take your choice between letting these guys go to pieces or giving them something to think about. Radio in prison is a life saver. It is good for discipline. I don’t think there is an honest, enlightened prison official in this country who is not in favor of it. It is one of the best cures known for stir simple. That’s when the pris- oner, shut off from the world, from conversation, goes into a daze, day-dreams, becomes a semi-imbecile. Listen- ing to the rddio keeps the prisoner alive. “Of all radio entertainment, the news broadcasts are the best and do the most good. That’s why we would like to see these broadcasts lengthened and put out at different hours. At present these five minutes of flashes twice a day are missed by practically all prisoners. In the morn- ing they are cleaning up or answering sick call. At night, practically all of them are asleep. It’s too bad, because I have observed that the news, as being broadcast now, is relatively free of crime reports. Probably the best hour would be six or seven o’clock at night, because prisoners eat early. “Giving prisoners radio is not coddling them. It is sim- ply a device for keeping them and making them normal citizens. No one is going to do time because there are radios in prison.” 30 Wide World ROBERT B. IRWIN MRS. C. C. WAKEFIELD, First Vice-President, National "Shut-In" Society, says: “Radio has done a great deal to make life bearable for the shut-in. Youth comes back and we feel we are again part of the movement of life as we sit and listen. Shut-ins enjoy listening to the news as much and perhaps more than to other program features. It stimulates them, gives them new incentive. We regret that the new arrangement makes it necessary to give out news so late in the evening. If there was a news program earlier, let us say, about seven o'clock, it would be much better. As it is, most shut-ins are asleep when the news is broadcast.” WILLIAM B. COX, Executive Secretary, The Os borne Society (which is a combination of the Welfare League Association and the Society for Penal Information, both founded by Thomas Mott Osborne, former Sing Sing Warden. Cox himself is an outstanding prison authority), says: “At 9 o’clock in the morning inmates of virtually all major prison institutions in the United States are hard at work cleaning up. At 9 o’clock in the evening, with few exceptions, they are asleep. Thus, prisoners are either at work or in bed when news is being broadcast. Very few of the five minute news flashes ever leap the prison walls. And this, I may say, has worked a definite-hardship. “There are 148 major prisons (Continued on page 75)

Lazy Bill Huggins stepped from poverty into radio stardom. HUNGRY = ~~? Si « McElliott By Hilda Cole VERY morning a shrill telephone bell wakes Bill Huggins out of one dream into another. As he looks about him at his comfortable suite; as he gazes out of the window upon hustling Broadway below, he can hardly believe his eyes, even though they tell him he has won his long fighting grind against the wolf of bitter poverty at last. He’s known to the airwaves as “Lazy Bill Huggins,” a new network find who arrived from Washington this spring. Maybe you’ve been thrilled by his dreamy bari- tone vibrating to the accompaniment of a wistful guitar, softly breathing violins, and throbbing piano, traveling intimately to your ears on Monday or Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock EST on CBS. Probably the lazy voice conjures up visions for you of a drawling Virginia lad who spent his childhood on a honeysuckle covered white plantation beyond the Mason and Dixon line. But the possessor of that leisurely young voice has left desperate, dark years behind him. He is the same Bill Huggins who, up to eight months ago, grappled with a succession of tough jobs in order to survive. The same Bill Huggins who overcame his sensitiveness to stand in the window of a cheap Roanoke clothing store and sing through a raucous loudspeaker to attract passersby. The same Bill Huggins who walked back-breaking miles as a door-to-door salesman of shoe polish. The same Bill Huggins who worked as a railroad laborer, wielding a pick-axe against the protest of aching muscles. The same Bill Huggins who ushered twelve hours a day in a Wash- ington theater patiently, wearily—even while he became the popular idol of WJSV. OMEBODY once said that.an artist must have his heart broken seven times before he is fit to become an artist. Bill, at the age of twenty-two, has topped that number and more in his eternal struggle against poverty. Bill began life clad in hand-me-down baby clothes dis- carded by older sisters. The Huggins were poor—so poor that all six kids knew that wearing out a pair of shoes practically amounted to a tragedy. Yet young Huggins was blessed with one safety valve to relieve his mind when his adolescent mood was indigo —music! He overcame embarrassment caused by wear- ing shabby clothes to school, learned to conquer his boyish longing for steak and angel food cake, quit wishing for a bicycle—but he never lost an utterly intolerable pang of yearning for a ukelele. When he was sixteen, a lanky kid with strangely hungry eyes, he bought a uke with $2.50 of the $3.00 he earned weekly as delivery boy on a bread wagon after school.

SH/ ea Y ANDS WITH A w. T4 By Frances Barr Matihews “THE GREATEST mistake I ever made in my life,” said Harry Richman, “was not marrying Clara Bow.” You can’t get Harry off that subject. He twists every question you ask him into a reference to Clara. In some strange way she has so colored his life that he harks back to that great publicity stunt—which turned into a serious affair—at every opportunity. I told him that his engagement to Clara Bow has been written about so much that it might be better not to bring it up at this late date, but that didn’t stop him. We were talking about his mistakes, his disappointments, his dreams for the future. “I shouldn’t have let the newspapers in- terfere with our happiness,” he said. “Clara was going to give up the screen. We had it all set. But because the whole business started as a publicity gag to get me before the moyie public, I lost out on love.” For Harry Richman, the hard-boiled, wise guy and heart-and-soul a Broadway boy with pomade on his hair and a silver bracelet on his wrist, is actually a human being with a dream of which you and I would be proud. Some day he wants to say to you, and not just in the form of popular song, but literally and sentimentally, “Shake Hands With a Millionaire.” Literally, because he’s working on a million-dollar an- nuity. That’s the big reason why he drives hard bargains. When Ben Marden said, “Come out and sing for the boys fpoteey left) Harry singing his own arrangements.

And a $3500 a week guarantee. Dur- ing the torrid summer just past he averaged $7500 to $8000 a week at the Riviera. The high was $12,000. And besides this he drags down $1750 a week till the first of the year for his radio program. Not bad. Not good enough, says Harry. He has plans. He’s going to pay up that million-dollar annuity which will guarantee him an income of around fifty thousand a year —and then? Well, you know. He’s told you before. He’s going to get married. He’s going to do the things he likes to do. He’s going to use those three planes—a Sikorski, a G.

He’s going to spend some time in that Beach Hurst house with its dozen rooms, its collection of fancy firearms, particularly those phoney guns which criminals have used to escape from prison (I wonder what Harry’d pay for Dillinger’s wooden gun?), his collection of jade and ivory (six hun- dred ivory elephants—count ’em!), his collection of first editions and rare books.

After all, Eddie Cantor and Rudy Vallee were real people you could hear over the radio and so much more interest- ing than Napoleon or Julius Caesar or even Marc Antony. You see, I wanted to do something. I could dance pretty well, for Mom had let me go to parties and dances, accompanied by one or sometimes both of my brothers, since I was sixteen. I had learned the latest steps and could do them pretty well if I do say so. My first opportunity came when I heard the family discussing finances. Like every other family in the coun- try, they too had felt the depression and I took this chance to make the suggestion which had been gnawing at my heart for a long while. “Why don’t you let me get a job, Mom?” I begged. My mother has always been my closest friend and com- panion and has always had my best interests at heart even though she said “no” very emphatically to many of my wishes when I thought otherwise. Now she looked at me and shook her head. “You're entirely too pretty, Alice, to go gadding about any office. We ought to be able to have one lady in the family, seeing you’re the only girl.” “Please, Mom,” I begged. “I don’t want to work in any stuffy office. You just let me try—just once. And if I don’t get a job within a few weeks Ill give in and stay home... .” After much persuasion we finally came to a little agree- ment. I was at last to have my first try at the theatre. Breathless with excitement, the next morning I got up early, took a warm shower, slipped into my prettiest pretties and was on my way downtown to find that job I had read the theatrical columns in the newspapers very conscientiously and had carefully torn out little references to places where novices might get a try-out. The first place I made for was Chester Hale’s dancing academy. for I understood that he tested the girls there and if a girl was found lacking in training, she could enroll in his classes and polish up.

THOU SHALT nor (oc AT LAST it can be told! The most amazing love stor) in radio. The story of an unusual love that was built on sacrifices, heartaches, honor and loyalty. For twenty years, Harry Horlick, leader of the A & | Gypsies had to stand by and see the woman he loved married to another man—/is brother! Had to stand by, silent and miserable, never daring to tell his secret to these two people who meant more to him than anything else in the world. He might have gone on like this forever, hopeless and un- happy, had not Fate taken an odd twist and unravelled the whole tragic situa- tion. It’s a strange story, so listen. Harry Horlick had always been in love with this girl, Fanny. They had known each other since childhood, when they both lived in Tiflis, a romantic town in the shadows of the Caucasian mountains. As children they would “play house” and make believe they were husband and wife. And Leon, Harry’s big brother, would stand over them and watch with amused adult tolerance. Leon was Harry’s god. You know how 1m- portant big brothers can be. And in Harry’s eyes, Leon, who was about twenty years older and a _ recognized musician, was the epitome of everything that was perfect There they stood, those three, the two children and the big brother. If they could only have foreseen then the peculiar trick Life was to play on them. “When I grow up,” Harry would tell the girl with child- ish pride, “I’m going to be a famous musician like my) ) big brother and have a lot of money and then we'll get And his playmate, starry-eyed and trustful believed him But it was not to be. The girl’s parents had other plans. In those quaint old Russian villages, you know, it was the parents who picked a girl’s future husband. And when Fanny reached the age of sixteen, her mate had already been selected. He was the son of their good friend and neighbor, the Horlicks. Oh, not the younger Horlick. He was fust a dreamy- married,” 1) U 5 ames eyed youngster who still had to go Filwood Jr. through many years of study at the conservatory to become a full-fledged musician. No, it certainly wasn’t Harry. It was his older brother, Leon! He was established and successful, and was already concert-meister of the sym- phony orchestra in Tiflis. Leon would make a wonderful husband, the parents of both families reasoned The marriage plans were arranged. And Harry, when he learned that his little playmate was betrothed to his brother, turned white as a ghost and locked himself up in his room. And what about Fanny? Well, Russian girls of that time didn’t have much to sav. They did as their parents bid without question. So it happened that not many .weeks later, Harry watched Fanny walk slowly down an aisle banked with wild mountain flowers, and become the wife of Leon. Perhaps that heartache was in part responsible for FOR TWENTY YEARS HARRY HORLICK HAD TO STAND BY, SILENT AND (Below) Harry Horlick, leader of the A & P Gypsies heard on NBC Mondays.

THY BROTHERS WIFE Harry’s later success as a great musician. For when he returned to the Tiflis conservatory, he plunged into an unrelenting schedule of work, work and more work. From morning until night he practised on his violin until he had even his professors wondering. It was the only thing that could keep him from thinking. He made such remark- able progress that he received an offer, while still in school, to play in the great symphony orchestra at Mos- cow—the youngest musician ever to receive such an honor. HE next few years were a crazy kaleidoscope of hor- rors and thrills. The rumblings of the Great War was heard. The whole Horlick clan was making haste to move to America. All but Harry. They begged him to go with them, but he refused. He couldn’t stand peace and quiet now. He needed excitement, noise and activity to keep his mind off forbidden thoughts. So promptly he entered the Russian army, defiant and heedless as to the outcome. He didn’t care, you see. Fortunately for him, and for us radio-lovers, he emerged alive, his sensitive fingers unharmed. ° The Imperial standard fell in Russia and the red flag of the Revolution waved in its place. Harry was captured by the Bolsheviki and brought before the court, a prisoner of the Reds. As he stood before the judge, he saw end- less years in Siberia stretching out ahead of him. “What is your civilian occupation,” he was asked. “A musician.” “Let him play,” the judge ordered. MISERABLE, AND SEE THE WOMAN Harry was given a violin, the first one he had touched in over two years. He caressed it lovingly and lured from it sobbing, vibrant notes that echoed his thwarted hopes, his frustrated dreams. In the end he was sent, not to Siberia, but back t Moscow to play in a symphony orchestra that was being created for a mew series of communized opera. If he had thought that meant freedom, he was to find out differently. Now, he was shut off from those he loved, unable to write or receive word from his family in America. The pay was so small that he was foreed to live in poverty. His own musical tastes were curbed for he was forced to play only military pieces, which he dis- liked intensely. It was almost as bad as prison. In the dead of one silent night, he escaped. Traveling by night and hiding by day, he finally managed to reach his old home, Tiflis. Friends took him in, fed him and nursed him back to health. When he was well again, he crossed the borderline and entered Constantinople. There he met other refugee musicians and obtained work in a cafe. But as he played the familiar, old Russian folksongs once more, a flood of memories stabbed his heart, reminding him of those happy days when he played with Fanny and Leon in Tiflis, of his mother and father thousands of miles away in America. A yearning to be with his family again overwhelmed him. Less than a month later, he was on New York soil, the whole Horlick brood about him, all laughing, crying and embracing. Oh, it was so (Continued on page 80) HE LOVED MARRIED TO ANOTHER Horlick and his Gypsies. He holds a record among broadcasters, having played for the same sponsors for eleven years.

HIS is a story for every woman who has ever thought, “What would I do if my husband were unfaithful to me?” Or perhaps you haven’t felt that way about it. You lived joyously in the knowledge that your Jim couldn’t be unfaithful; he was a one-woman man and had been ever since he laid eyes on you. And then one day like a thunderbolt the knowledge burst upon you, with proof that you could not doubt, that Jim, your curly-head, adorable Jim, had been untrue to you. It seemed as if ice- cold hands clutched at your throat that day. And you cried out, “Oh, my God, what shall I do? Shall I forgive him or is this the end?” Life once hurled just such a thunderbolt at Julia San- derson. Once the knowledge that her husband had been unfaithful tore at her heart. Yes, I know it’s a great shock to you to read Julia San- derson’s name in such a connection. You've been made to believe that life began for Julia when she first laid eyes on Frank Crumit in the old Turnverein Hall where they had gone to rehearse “Tangerine.” You've read how Julia fell in love with Frank when he sang “Sweet Lady” to her, and you've thought that was the one and only love of her life. 48 The truth is that Julia met Frank Crumit when she was in her middle thirties, and before that she had experienced two bitter, tumultuous marriages. Twice life flung a chal- lenge to her, and twice she answered with heartbreaking pride, “I will not fight to hold any man!” This is the untold story of those romances. ing it, | think you will understand and like Julia Sander- After read- son better than you ever did before. If fate had not handed these bitter challenges to her, if she had not lived through a purgatory of sorrow, Julia Sanderson might be nothing but a sweet, flighty woman. It was unhappi- ness that made a real person of her, that gave her songs the note of sympathy and understanding which you love. At seventeen Julia Sanderson was already the toast of New York. She was known as New York’s most beauti- ful actress. When she appeared in a musical comedy, the college boys all came to town. The West Point boys threw their caps into the air at sight of her. The Harvard boys kept her pictures in their lockers. Mash notes poured in by the hundred. Once, after a show, a bouquet of flowers was tossed to her on the stage, and in the bouquet was a diamond necklace with a note telling her to keep the neck- lace in return for one evening of her company. Julia returned the necklace.

For, like every mother, she wanted happiness for Julia, and she was too wise to dream for a moment that happi- ness for a girl like Julia could come through a marriage with anyone so worldly-wise as Tod. But Julia, who had never before known anyone quite like Tod, was fascinated. The following day he brought down his rac- ing auto and took her for a spin over Coney Island Boulevard.

The summer of 1934 will be remembered in radio history. | lt used to be that summer was a topsy-turvy period of net-|) work experiments. Ambitious kids, still wet behind the ears, | were given a fling at the kilocycles. Unseasoned, would-be stars were presented to a perspiring public with the vain hope that one of them might turn into another “Crosby or Vallee.§ As a result, we listeners did our radio shopping in a catch-as- catch-can manner and defied the loudspeaker to amuse us. During the summer of 1934, history will recall, the loudspeak- ers did amuse us. For which we give thanks to as deft a comedian as the business of broadcasting has produced. That comedian is Jack Benny. Two years ago, Jack Benny was the most worried man or Broadway. One of the last of the Grandest Canyon's top-hole comedians to go on the air, he found himself faced with the job of creating a completely new air show each week. He admitted frankly to all who were interested that he did not see how he could possibly last more than a month. There were not, he opined, enough funny situations and gags to keet people interested beyond that time. That was two years ago Most of the weeks since then, Jack Benny has been on the air with the sort of clean, canny comedy America prefers. He has evolved and perfected his suave method of delivery unti he stands alone. Unlike other comedians, he never forces hi .

All this past summer, Jack Benny and his deft crew of fun- ashioners have given us a brand of air-conditioned humor we fo not usually associate with summer shows. Practically alone, e made the summer almost the brightest season of the year. Jack Benny, with the assistance of Mary Livingstone and “rank Parker and Don Bestor and Don Wilson, has caused his rogram to make history. Because of that, RADIO STARS Magazine extends to him its monthly medal of merit, our AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO RADIO.

.ducers run the movies, implying, in their MOVIE ’“PROHIBITION!’ ly Faree tony HOLLYWOOD is being ''cleaned up."’ This drive has taken the form of a boycott in some cities dnd severe local and state censorship in others. As usual, no one has bothered to tell the cash movie customer what all the shooting is about. The customers thought Mae West was fun. Millions of them made her the biggest box office attraction in pictures. Now the moralists claim she was in- decent. Which brings up the point: who runs the movies—the people who pay money for the show —or the moralists? The moralists claim, of course, that the pro- current drive, that the producers are a low lot of fellows deliberately trying to lower the morals of the nation. They are wrong. In the first place, the producers only know what the public wants by looking at the record and seeing what they pay money to see. But the moralists claim the customer has had his taste perverted by Holly- wood. Admitting that they are right, which | don't, even then you can't blame the: producers. The movies you see aren't made by Hollywood. They are re-made by moralists. Every picture released from Hollywood goes through a whitewash mill. The cash customer doesn't know it, but he is protected from evil by a veritable army of purists. First, there is the Hays office. All scenarios go through the Elder's hands before a company starts production. Then, while the picture is actually being made, several middle-aged ladies report to Mr. Hays on the purity or evil of the production. The producer doesn't have to change his picture legally, but the women represent dozens of large societies and clubs, and they give him to understand he better had—or else. After the production is completed, it is shipped to New York where another group of middle-aged experts, representing the D. A. R., The Parent- Teachers Association, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and a dozen other groups, are called in to see the picture and "grade" it. These women report for the National Board of Review which sends out its findings to women's clubs alll over the country. You'd think, once the picture “9 has received this going-over, that it would ready for the most innocent movie customer. But it isn't. The producer now has to go against six legal censor boards, including Ne York and Pennsylvania, the two biggest theatre: states in the union. By law he has to abide byw their cuts. Which, as you see, proves that today) movies are pre-censored by at least three dif- ferent agencies. Yet the League of Decency claims pictures are indecent. If so, why blame the) theatre owners and producers? | The answer is, we're not deali 9 with logic. We're dealing with our old friends, thew reformers. Maybe youll think all the professional reformers died wher we repealed prohibi- tion. Maybe you think all the liquor snoopers went off and quietly committed suicide when the bars opened up. They didn't but they're out of work. And the movie are It. . The cash customer may get oft noyed, of course, and stay away from the theatres But he took prohibition for a long time; he tool crooked prize fights, and it's very likely that he car take goo-goo movies. . But the whole situation is goofy. Here we have the most serious drought in the history of the na tion, impoverishing the heart of the Middle-Wes' We have war-crazy dictators sitting acros two oceans polishing up their guns and talking under their breaths about one another. Wevé ten million unemployed and a _ labor situatior that isnt going to get any funnier as timé goes on.

Now there is a station of which radio can be proud. Surely you’ve heard it; or you’ve heard about it. It’s “Grand Old Op’ry” alone has made the call letters WSM as well known as the NRA. Like the city in which it stands, WSM lives for the glory of the South. It’s aim is to make life a bit brighter for the people of the mountains, to bolster the spirit of the cities. I wish you could visit its homey studios. You would look out the big windows on the east to see the original home plot of President James K. Polk—to see the ground where once lay the body of that great man. You would visit studio “A” and there look out over WSM’s neigh- bors on the north—the big war memorial building. And on the west, the state’s capitol on a hill, with its towering dome and the nation’s flag rippling in the soft breeze. You would relive the history of your early classroom days. That is the home of WSM, a station of traditions, the WwsM where they believe mosi folks are fine and friendly home of one great big happy family of entertainers. Yes, one big family. Not related, but might as well be. Yet perhaps they work together better than if they were. Look at Harry Stone, the manager. There he sits at his big desk handling the business of the station. But do you think he is satisfied to do only that? Not Harry Stone. You'll find him standing in studios announcing programs just like any other Tom or Dick. And that grand old guy, George D. Hay, he’s the chief announcer, director of publicity and the ex-manager of the station. But that’s not all. On Saturday nights you'll find him playing the part of the “Solemn Old Judge” on the “Grand Old Op’ry” program. And he’s the main char- acter in “Howdy Judge.” Lots of work, you say, but still he has time to write continuity and to even write and publish books. Have you ever heard Miss Christene Lamb who has the entrancing contralto voice which twice won for her the semi-finals in the nation-wide Atwater Kent auditions ? Well, maybe you didn’t know it, but she is also the studio’s hostess. And if you’ve ever received a letter from WSM, the chances are that she wrote it. But you will want to know more about this station DID YOU KNOW THAT WSM IN NASHVILLE HAS THE HIGHEST RADIO TOWER

Sturges that operates on a policy of friendliness and good-will. Back in 1925, E. W. Craig, vice-president of the Na- tional Life and Accident Insurance Company, conceived the idea that his company should have a station. It wouldn’t be a commercial station, but merely one to foster good-will. It was a hard job convincing all the other vice- presidents and department heads that the company needed a radio station, but the job was done. Everything was set for the station to open October 5, 1925. Nashville was all a-buzz with excitement. Its a were wondering what this 1000 watter would give them. cont evening at 6:30 o’clock the transmitter was turned on. From headphones out in the mountains and there in the city came the music of a concert orchestra. For an hour and a half it continued. Then the station ,was silent. Like a Broadway drama, it was having its intermission. After all, farmers had to attend their chores. Housewives had to put the children to bed. That done, Tennessee again picked up the headphones at 9 :30 o'clock for the second act. It was a gala studio program, a parade of the best talent the city could afford. “And a dern good program,” commended an old-timer to me recently. It lasted until 10:30, and Tennessee went to bed knowing that WSM was an established station. Don’t think for once that Rudy Vallee started this business of guest stars on programs. WSM had one that very first night. He was George D. Hay who came down from WLS in Chicago to make WSM’s opening an- nouncements. Sometimes a guest appearance on Rudy’s program means a permanent job for the artist. But that’s nothing new. Hay’s appearance on WSM led to his engagement as the station’s manager. And later to the establishment of his character, “The Solemn Old Judge,” a national favorite. Even today, to people who know him, he’s “The Judge” or “Judge Hay.” In September, 1928, WSM_ had its first commercial programs. Just think—three full years without a paid program. But WSM wanted it to be that way. Adver- tisers had been purposely turned away. Isn’t that a nov- elty as compared to present day broadcasting when men think in terms of “Who can we get to buy programs” even before they decided to build a station? But as I told you before, WSM was established as a good-will station. It wanted to meet its (Continued on page 91) IN THE WORLD? AND THAT ONE OF ITS PROGRAMS LASTS FOUR HOURS?

WAM Is Of lis Grand YOU. would think that WSM, one of the South’s great- est stations and producer of many of the country’s out- standing programs, would do anything but shock its listeners. But it did shock them! One Saturday night in November, 1925, WSM shocked those listeners no end. It dared to present a brand of lowdown, foot-thumping, hog-wallow rhythm such as had never before ruptured the placid air of Tennessee. Who- ever heard of putting on such bands as “The Gully Jumpers,” “The Clod-hoppers,” “The Fruit Jar Drinkers,” “The Possum Hunters” and a score or more of such hill billy acts? People called their music hoe-down, or, as the mountain folk said, “just plain ordinary fiddlin’.” “That’s awful!” Nashville people complained the next morning. “You can’t put that stuff on the air,” local business men told George M. Hay, then WSM< station manager who originated the show and acted as its master of ceremonies. It put Hay in a predicament. “We'll try it one more Saturday,” he argued. “Then we'll decide what to do.” The following Saturday the WSM transmitter rolled another serving of fiddlin’ across the quivering hills of Tennessee. And spread it on thicker. “It’s outrageous,” Nashville protested vociferously. Loud though their protests were, remarkably enough they went unheard. I'll tell you why. Letters rolled like a cloudburst out of those Tennessee hills, lauding the program as picturing the life of honest, everyday people. Hay even received letters from city folk in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Memphis, and Atlanta confessing that they appreciated old-time fiddlin’ and wanted more. Of course the program continued. At that time, it was an hour show featuring Uncle Jimmy Thompson eighty- three-year-old fiddle player of the hills who was greatly disturbed because he couldn’t stretch it to two or three hours, and Judge Hay. I'll tell you more about them later. Today it is a four-hour show, extending from 8 o’clock in the evening until midnight. In those days business men hated to admit they liked it. Now they are standing in line waiting an opportunity to buy time on this program to advertise their products, and they’re willing to pay double the usual price. HE cause of all this commotion was the show which we now know as “The Grand Old Opry.” The story of how that name originated is fascinating. At 7:30 o'clock one Saturday night, while people around WSM were waiting for the barn dance program to go on the air, George Hay and his associates were listening tc a program over the NBC network by Dr. Walter Dam- LISTENERS AT FIRST WERE SHOCKED RY THIS NASHVIIIF CTATIAN

That gave Hay an idea. Of course he didn’t tell his associates. He waited until the barn dance music had started and then he took his stznd before the microphone. “Folks,” he drawled, “this program tonight will be nothing but realism. We're going to play and sing songs that are real—that shoot close to earth.” Then beckoning to DeFord Bailey, little colored boy of the program, he continued, ‘Bailey, I want you to come over to the micro- phone and play your harmonica. I want you to give your realistic interpretation of the onrushing locomotive. Come on up.” Bailey gave an interpretation that was so realistic that the Judge was prompted to say, “Now folks, you gotta admit that sounded real. Dr. Damrosch played a number like this with a big symphony orchestra a few minutes ago. And he said it couldn’t be called a classic. Well, I guess not. And our program can’t be called an opera. But folks, I don’t see why we can’t call it ‘opry’.” Whereupon and thereafter the program became “The Grand Old Opry.” The name stuck and is known through- out the United States and several foreign lands. That’s exactly what the program is—“opry.” Folk music of the hills—realism. {Below) Asher Sizemore [Below] When it comes If you tune it in some Saturday, you'll hear those sings with Little Jim- to popular songs, “Clod-hoppers,” “Gully Jumpers,” “Fruit Jar Drinkers,” mie, his young son, on WSSM gives the job to and 240 minutes more of such hay-seed novelties. the Opry."

This is the program that has ‘brought the station, rich in southern tradition, the unofficial title of ‘America’s friendly station.” Its admirers number millions. I said I'd tell you about Uncle Jimmie Thompson, the eighty-three-old fiddler on those opening programs. Uncle Jim is dead now, died knowing that he had helped start something which would go down in radio history, but still complaining because he couldn't play longer than one hour. Henry Ford called Mellie Dunham of Maine America’s champion fiddler. But when Uncle Jim chal- lenged Dunham to a fiddling match, the Ford choice turned down the challenge. Uncle Jim would be proud if he knew that this four- hour program now employs sixty people at five dollars and up per hour; that as many as 53,000 letters have been received by the station in response to one program; that Sponsors pay double and more (Continued on page 92) wet al ys NOW THE CALISFE OF THAT.SHOCK IS PROGRAM THEY ALL

Nothing certainly—unless, of course, the program is dramatic] Even then, a band is usually hired for theme music ane to play short phrases to indicate a change in scene of thi play. Then, too, bands are the salvation of the shee music business. Singers may introduce a song, but i} takes the constant plugging by late night bands to star the public humming the tune. And, of course, the orch estra world is the foundation of the recording business All of which means that the big name bands of th U. S. are coming back to the front this fall.

GREETINGS, Friends and Radio Fans: This is Nancy Wood speaking and bringing to you the first broadcast of the RADIO STARS Cooking School, a regular monthly feature. Through this new department you will discover the food preferences of well-known stars of the air and you will be able to secure recipes for their favorite dishes. Then, too, you will be given helpful suggestions and information which will enable you to fol- low these recipes with great ease and unfailingly good results. In order further to guarantee the success of your culinary efforts, I promise never to give you a recipe—no, no matter how good it sounds—until I have tested it in my own test kitchen. And furthermore, you will find that the necessary ingredients will be listed in the order in which they are used and that directions for combining these ingredients will be simple and concise, as well as accurate. Now that I have introduced myself and have briefly described the aims and ideals of the.RADIO STARS Cooking School, I take great pleasure in presenting our guests the Boswell Sisters, Connie, Vet and Martha, in a little skit on apples. If we had an orchestra I suppose it would be playing, softly, “When It’s Apple Blossom Time in Normandy,” with the Boswells coming in on the chorus, but you'll just have to imagine that, for we are in a hurry to get to the Boswell’s charmmg New York apartment Uneeda Graham Crackers (Right) ‘Many hands make light work" sing Connie, Vet and Martha in the cheery Bos- well kitchen.

Yes, the same Jeannie Lang who hopped from her tub at 7:30 a. m. and by 9 was pos- ing for the pictures you see decorating this page. Lovely, aren’t they? And so early in the morning at that. So you see for yourself that she’s not fooling when she says if you want to keep young and beautiful then start right now to take lots and lots of baths. All kinds of baths—plain and fancy, hot and cold. Not only are baths beautifying, but health- giving and—exciting. Listen to the trimmings that can turn bathing from a necessity into a heavenly splash: soaps, all kinds, sizes, shapes, colors and scents. Bath powders, salts and crys- tals. You can éven get liquid bath salts and com- pressed tablets, which are excellent to carry traveling. All these soften the water and perfume the skin. After the tub, there is no end of things which yon can do to your skin to keep it velvety smooth and achieve that subtle aura of fragrance, for there are dusting powders and talcums galore. They come in various shades, too, to suit the skin. Choose a fragrance to match that of the bath, or not, as you like. But take care that there is no clash in scents. If you stick to the florals exclu- sively, you are pretty safe, as there is seldom an) disagreeable contrast. But Jeannie doesn’t favor dusting powders only. By no means. Colognes and toilet waters make for an invigorating rub-down, at the same time assuring dainty freshness for hours. For those who like it, bath oils are beneficial to the skin. You who have dry skin should always use these or a good cream after bathing. The fragrance of perfumes, if used immediately after the bath, will last (Continued on page 80 Seymour

_ Immediately he began to cast around for a different way of doing things. A few years later in another little movie house in Carbondale he put on the first motion picture prologue or presentation. | a picture was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and the prologue consisted of a few wers recruited from the village choir ing southern plantation melodies in ace. It was such a sensation that for a week. From that humble * came the lavish motion picture Of the giants in the entertainment in- who came from those operators of nickelodeons, Roxy alone kept artistry as his first interest. Others, like Adolph Zukor and William Fox, drifted into the ial end. But Roxy, the fighting line of ‘showmanship. Eventually the country boy, the small town theater owner who had done the ing things, came back to New York. e first took over the Regent Theatre, Tere he gave his ideas further trial. Then as the motion picture came into its own, he moved uptown. Roxy became the man who changed the landscape of Broadway and claimed it in the name of the New Art, driving the legitimate stage to the side streets. The history of the motion picture thea- tres is his history. When a bigger and finer theatre came along, Roxy was always at the head of it. First the Strand, then the Rivoli, the Rialto, then the Capitol, and finally what is now known as the Old Roxy. It seemed a superb triumph at the time to have the Jargest theater in the world bearing his name. But the world moves and Roxy moved with it. Then the idea of Radio City was born. It was a projection so far into the future that at the time of its conception it seemed almost fantastic. It was to be a television center, planned for developments yet but dimly glimpsed. And what was more nat- ural than that the Rockefeller and RKO interests should look to Roxy, acknowl- edged the greatest showman in the world, for aid, counsel and management? T seemed a more magnificent dream than Roxy had ever imagined. With all his volatile enthusiasm, he threw himself into the project unsparingly. He toured Europe in search of ideas and talent. He planned and sweated with architects and engineers. Slowly he saw it grow from a jagged, ‘Tocky excavation to a Babylonian pile with hanging gardens, housing the most extensive entertainment facilities in the Only then did aes discover that a man uuld work too hard. He fell sick. Doc- s advised an a But no, the rati The Dheame of amer, remained always on the firing _ RADIO STARS (Continued from page 27) The opening came at last. But Roxy’s impaired vitality was reflected in the open- ing show. It was not all that he had hoped it would be, and that was the beginning of the storm. A few weeks later he was stricken and rushed to Post Graduate Hospital for an emergency operation, almost too late. Six times his life was despaired of. Once his death was actually reported in the papers. But that indomitable will which had brought him up from obscurity held him to life. He pulled through and, still a sick man, came back to the theatre—and to trouble. “The gross had fallen $43,000 a week during my absence,” he said, “and the first week of my return I brought it back to $90,000.” But the disagreements kept on and even- tually Roxy’s resignation made front page news. Probably no outsider will ever know just what the trouble was. Some say that Roxy over-reached himself, that he be- came impatient with others’ ideas of show- manship. If so, it was but the universal story of man, the dreamer, trying impos- sibly to remold the world nearer to his heart's desire. There were many things about it that hurt Roxy, but most of all the cruel com- ment of those who had found rich fodder for satire in the boldness and originality of his ideas. “I was a butt of caricatur- ists and jokesters,” he said, and there were tears in his eyes. It is an easy thing for a man to take when he is riding high. But when he is down that is another matter. And Roxy was down. He was having his first bitter taste of failure. “Did you ever feel completely licked?” I asked him. “Licked?” his eves flashed. “When I feel licked. I'll cease to feel, that’s all.” ROXY'S first impulse was to try an im- mediate comeback. So he went out on tour with his Gang, but he soon found he was not yet a well man. His old sparkle was lacking. Then he decided his next move must be to win back his health. Still under his doctor’s care, he left New York, went to Florida. over to Texas and then Mexico. But his recovery took longer than it should because he was paying the penalty of being Roxy. Into every hamlet, no matter how obscure, even in the remote sections of Mexico, the news of his coming preceded him. He was asked to speak at Legion gatherings, before Rotary Clubs, and being Roxy he could not refuse. Nevertheless, he got in his daily rounds of golf, the sun shone brightly and the world seemed good. Bit by bit his spirits rose, his creative mind began to function again. The idea of his comeback grew on him slowly. Everywhere he went people were talking radio. So he decided that in radio he would find his future. Any Other Man Would Have Died Roxy is a radio pioneer, too. When he went on the air from the stage of the Capitol Theater with his “Gang” in 1921, it was the first really pretentious program to be broadcast. He brought fine music to the air in the days of the crystal sets. The variety show was his idea and there is in fact hardly a‘ phase of radio today that he did not innovate. And great is the roster of network names who were members of the “Gang.” “But radio was always something of a sideline with me,” he said. “Now I re- alize that the time has come to give it my undivided attention.” During his year of leisure Roxy made the great discovery that health is the basis of achievement. As health returned, his spirits rose and prospects brightened. He began to plan for his comeback, and it was indeed a happy day for him when he was able to put his signature to a contract for one of the important winter shows. UT it was a happier experience when the letters began to pour in from faith- ful followers of the “Gang,” from War Veterans lying on white hospital cots whom Roxy has befriended, from farm- ers and ranchers whom he has never seen, from widows and shut-ins, touching testi- monials of unswerving loyalty. For Roxy, a sentimental man himself, has touched the sentimental side of millions. So Roxy is to have a shown again. But that in itself could scarcely be a suffi- ciently satisfying comeback to a man who has always stood at the peak of his profession. But wait “I’m going to do one more thing before I go,” he said, and the tanned hand _hold- ing his cigarette trembled from his eager- ness. “Then they can take me, and I'll be satisfied. “It is going to be a bigger thing than I have ever done—far bigger. It is so big that I dare not talk of it-IT hardly dare to think about it. The world isn’t ripe for it now. But things are straight- ening themselves out. The time wili soon be ripe. “T can only tell you that it will be in radio—the coming entertainment medium —and that I assure you I am going to do it!” His eyes flashed as he spoke. And when was this great idea of his born—this idea so big he dare not yet discuss it? Why in the very shadow of defeat? At the time when his whole world, his life, the tower of his achievement, had crashed about him. It was only a germ of an idea then. But he nourished it, turn- ing it over and over in his mind. In the midst of defeat he was not afraid to plan greatly for the future in an un- certain present. “Live in the future! The past is dead.” There’s courage for you, my hearties! Now Roxy has before him a shining goal, greater than any he has struggled for in the past. Is it any wonder that he finds life good once more? 69

CORK TIPPED I5* 2 TWENTY 2s Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., Louisville, Ky. 70 RADIO STARS Five Free Dresses for Radio Fans (Continued from page 37) Miss Parker’s clothes are so popular that they’re featured in over five hundred lead- ing stores all over the country.” Annette started her fall wardrobe se- lection right then and there. You see, after October 2 she is going to co-star on the Camel Cigarette program over CBS, and with the two Camel shows a week Annette is not going to have much time to shop. Every dress was so original, so impudent and yet so practical. They’re youthful, yes—and daring. That’s the way truly smart clothes should be. Yet a mature figure can carry them off with as much chic as the young ‘uns, because, you see, they’re so adaptable. That’s why the Parker clothes are such a hit all over the country. them (and they should are the answer to a maid- Gals who wear know) say they en’s prayer. Suddenly an idea flashed through my mind (it happens sometimes) and I pulled Annette and Gladys Parker aside. What was the huddle about? Why this contest, of course, That’s why every Rapio Stars reader has a chance to win any one of the five glamorous Gladys Parker models pictured on pages 36 and 37. And absolutely free. Almost every dress is a “two-timer.” That is, in almost every case there is an extra jacket, jumper or blouse to give it the added value of two dresses. Just look over the pictures and read the descrip- tions and you'll understand what I mean. Then read over the rules carefully and join in. Remember, if you want one of these dresses, write to Miss Annette Hanshaw, Rapio Stars Magazine, 149 Madison Ave- nue, New York City, and tell her in seventy-five words or less which dress you want and why you want it. If your letter gives the best reason for wanting a cer- tain dress and if it is written in the most original manner, you will win that par- ticular dress. There are five dresses, and you can write for one only. So be sure and make your choice before you write. And don’t forget to state in a postscript your age, your weight, the size dress you wear and the color you prefer. You can get the dresses in the following colors: 1. Strm Jim—All white with blue velvet belt. 2. Pink Lapy—Pale pink blouse with midnight blue skirt and jacket. 3. JoAN oF Arc—All black. 4. MaTINEE—Wine with yellow blouse. 5. Mac—Blue or red plaid with match- ing mittens. Uncle Answer Man Answers (Continued from page 11) A. Oh, sorry, old things. Here goes. He’s a University of Californian, too. He got there when he was fifteen. But he'd been on the air before then, having made his radio début as a boy soprano on KPO. He got to learning how to play the cello and suddenly found himself playing vaude- ville with one of the things in Chicago. His originality was busy displaying itself then by having inspired him to turn the cello over his knee and play it like a fiddle. They tell of the time he was shot at by gangsters when he was master of ceremonies in a Milwaukee night club. “When the bullet missed you, Morey, what did you do?” “Sixty miles an hour,” said Morey. He fell in with Al Pearce, whom he had met before, in San Francisco, and he joined the “Gang.” Q. What is Jerry Cooper’s name off the air and how old is he? A. I'm not supposed to tell, but it’s Jerry Cooper. He was born April 3, 1907. You figure it out. Q. Is Frank Parker still singing with the Revelers Quartet? A. Naw. Not still. Again. Robert Simmons replaced him when Frank went to Hollywood. Incidentally, for those who are still puzzled, the Cities Service Quartet is the Revelers. Q. C-c-can yu-yu-yuh tell us s-s-some- thing ab-bout K-K-K-Katy uh-S-S-Smith? A. S-S-Sure. Yu-yu-you b-b-b-b—. Oh, I'll write it. Her real name is Katherine Smith and she was born on May 5, 1908, in Greenville, Virginia, of American de- scent. She was educated in_ public schools of Washington, D. C. Her’s was no training in elaborate professional schools. She got her experience in vaude- ville. Her radio break came when Ted Collins saw her in a musical show on Broadway and got her a program. She has an older sister, a government em- ployee in Washington. Kate has blue eyes and brown hair and is five feet six inches © tall. She likes to eat all the things a girl her size shouldn’t—ice cream and yummy cake. She really bakes swell cake herself. She likes to play golf and fly and as a matter of fact, likes men who do these things. She’s not married nor en- gaged. Q. Does Lanny Ross sing on any other program beside Show Boat? A. Not now. He’s contract to General Foods. What are stations afraid to broadcast? See the article, ' "Too Hot to Broadcast,” in a forthcoming issue for the answer. under exclusive | vr eS

You'll be delighted at your utterly changed appearance—so will others. You'll never realize the power of beauti- ful eyes until you try Winx—my perfected formula of mascara that keeps lashes soft, alluring. Your eyes—framed with Winx lashes—will have new mystery, new charm, I promise you. So safe—smudge-proof, non-smarting, tear- proof—Winx is refined to the last degree. Yet so quick to apply—a morning applica- tion lasts until bed-time. Millions of women prefer Winx to ordi- nary mascara. New friends are adopting Winx every day. Without delay, you, too, should learn the easy art of having lustrous Winx lashes. Just go to any toilet counter and buy Winx. Darken your lashes—note the instant improvement. To introduce Winx to new friends, note my trial offer below. Note, too, my Free Booklet offer, “Lovely Eyes—How to Have Them”.

| We Want News (Continued from page 30) ' + _ for the accommodation of adult prisoners, in the United States and only sixty per cent of them have radio facilities. These consist usually of a central receiving plant with either ear-sets for the individuals or loud speakers placed at the mess-hall, the cell-block and other central points. Nearly all of these installations were made with funds earned or raised by the prisoners. “To bar these men and women from news when they have at great effort suc- ' ceeded in getting radio into the prison is a gratuitous cruelty. It is also social stupid- ity for when the news is shut off, so is the world, and with it one of the greatest in- centives to reform and to good behavior. Radio makes life in prison more bearable, it is true. By the same token, it increases the desire to get out and stay out.” Se | Board of Review (Continued from page 12) ? *&*k* YEAST FOAMERS WITH JAN GARBER AND HIS ORCHESTRA (NBC). ‘ *&*k* SINCLAIR GREATER MINSTRELS (NBC). : *&*x*x PRINCESS PAT PLAYERS, DRAMA WIT GLAS HOPE, ALICE HILL, H DOU PEGGY DAVIS AND ARTHUR JACOBSON | (NBC). *** OXDOL’S OWN MA PERKINS, DRAMATIC SKETCH (NEC). : **x* PHILIP MORRIS PROGRAM WITH LEO REISMAN’S ORCHESTRA AND PHIL DUEY (NBC). *k* THE SINGING STRANGER, BOOTH AND DRAMA (NBC). **x JACKIE HELLER, TENOR (NBC). . **x*k HOUSEHOLD.

LMOST any disposable napkin feels fairly soft to begin with. But does it stay oe when it’s worn? There’s the test! An inferior napkin won't. Its harsh, rough-cut edges soon begin to Aarden. They rub. They cut. If there’s even a slight delay in changing napkins, deli- cate skin surfaces become chafed — until every step Aurts! Modess starts soft and stays soft. Why? Because Modess is a new-type napkin—made without any sharp edges to invite painful hardening. Try this ten-second test— Take a Modess napkin from its box and look atit. See? Every edge is rounded. No cut-out papery layers there! Now press the pad be- tween the palms of your hands. Did youeverim- agine a disposable nap- kin could be that soft? Next—get the “inside story.” Turn back the silky gauze and see —just underneath —a drift of downy fibres. That's Zobec — exclusive with Modess. An extra insurance against chafing. Then notice that covering wrapped around the Modess filler—it’s as soft as the finest facial tissue. Finailly—fold back the covering and see... the famous Modess filler. Fluffy. Soft. Super- absorbent. It’s made of wisps of cellu- lose actually blown into shape. And remember—this softer napkin is safer, too. Its special protective back- ing guards against “accidents.” Modess is not expensive! Ask your druggist—or your favorite de- partmentstore—forModess. You libeas- tonished at its low price. But better even than its bargain price—is the extra assurance — the a lasting comfort Modess brings. Wear Modess once and you'll never again be satisfied with ordinary, harshnapkins! MODESS stays soft in use! 77

In a way, he became a jsoner, shackled to drudgery. Though artistically Bill was set free! Sfore his father’s death, he had never en able to express the emotions which youthfully guarded beneath the surface. ae grief released emotion and put depth to his songs. An hour after his father’s funeral, Bill owed up at the studio for his program, | choked up and feeling that he couldn't ce the microphone.

But fate taught him , hard lesson which some artists never varn: Talent isn’t always the latch key ¥ which to escape through the stern door ‘£ responsibility. Bill attempted valiantly to fill his fath- r’s shoes. Mr. Huggins had been assistant anager in a railroad storehouse. Aiming foggedly at the same job, his son was iken on the payroll first as an ordinary pborer. Out in the sun on broiling sum- her days, he dug ditches. Sweating with feality, his mind escaped into day dreams. | When the company promoted him to a Jerk in the office he knew brief triumph ind had hopes of being promoted to his ather’s job. Then business conditions forced a curtailment of the payroll. Bill vas given notice. HAT day he struck rock bottom of despair. His nerves stampeded in his forehead. His eyes burned.

Do you realize that baths can put you into any mood? If you have a lot of work to do, Jeannie advises an invigorat- ing dip into pine or geranium scented waters. For a light, carefree mood, select florals such as rose, sweet pea or violet. Jasmine, narcissus and gardenia are pleas- ant for the evening. Or any one of the myriad of others that may or may not be florals. My goodness, are you dizzy from this array of scents? Certainly I do not sug- gest that you rush out and stock your shelves with these hundred and one sug- gestions. But don’t confine yourself to a regular routine with just a cake of soap. Go shopping for the luxurious trimmings that cost little and mean so much. You'll discover that a bath can be as refreshing as a cocktail and as sooth- ing as a sedative. To start the mornings, I like to hop under a tepid shower and gradually turn it to cold. It acts as a tonic and general stimulant, but is not, of course, thoroughly cleansing. I’d like to remark that if you are one of those persons whose circula- tion does not react swiftly so that your body immediately becomes a tingly red, then by all means adhere to the tepid temperature, Take a very warm bath at night to cleanse the skin and relax the muscles— and mind. Scrub the skin with a good toilet soap. Use a brush or sponge to cleanse the body. It also stimulates and rubs away the dead particles of skin. Before getting out of the tub, rinse off every particle of soap. If you haven't a shower, then pull the plug from the tub and run in fresh water.

— —— a diately by the A & P Company, and to- day his “A & P Gypsies” ensemble is a radio institution. His original string ensemble numbered six. Now there are forty-one Gypsies pouring their passion- ate melodies over the airwaves. In all those thirteen years that Horlick has been on the radio he has always been a top-notcher. Success, fame, money, pop- ularity—all have been his almost from the start. He had everything, it seemed. But still he wandered about, a lonely figure in the bustle and gayety of the studios. “You ought to get married,” friends told him. “You can afford to give your wife every luxury. You yourself are a home man. You need companionship.” ND yet, during all of those years, with beautiful, alluring young women cross- ing his path, he never married. You might have guessed the reason by now. But understand this—he saw Fanny only when she was with Leon. He was never more than the proper brother-in-law te her. But each time he saw her, he realized with growing despair that there could never be anyone else for him. Can you imagine the hell he went through as he met her a thousand times at family affairs? Never did he tell her, or even so much as hint, that the love he had had for her when they were both childhood sweethearts had never died. Never did he let her know by any sign the burden of longing and heartache he carried. Whether Fanny, with a woman’s own in- born intuition, guessed his secret, is more than I can say. But with the strict moral background of her childhood deeply im- planted in her make-up, she never encour- aged him. Suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, startling news hit the Horlick clan. Fanny and Leon were going to be divorced! What the reason was I don’t know. Certainly it isn’t illogical to suppose that the great difference in their ages had something to do with it. Fanny was thirty-five. Leon, fifty-two. When Fanny was a free woman once more, Harry for the first time felt that he had a right to tell her what had been in his heart so long. I don’t think many men could have remained silent as long as Harry or have acted with such fine decency. Now he could come to her and declare his love, unashamed and without fear. Now he could ask her to be his wife. Don’t think Harry didn’t know the talk and gos- sip that marriage would create. And yet, in spite of it, they were married. And, as in the ways of all true love, the course has not been smooth. Even now, when Harry should be completely blissful after all those years of almost hopeless waiting, there is a sharp thorn to pierce his long-delayed happiness. His brother is suing him for alienation of affections. The sum asked runs into big figures. We who know his story realize what great restraint and honor Harry dis- played in the whole matter. That’s why, perhaps, he can hold his head high in the face of this impending trouble, con- fident that he and Fanny will emerge Victorious in the end. But tell me, could any woman boast of a finer, truer adoration than that which Harry Horlick showed to Fanny, his wife?

ONE gentle Spring day in Roanoke, op- portunity gave one of its famous knocks. A friend of Bill’s planned to drive to Washington and Bill had a def- inite hunch that he should go along. He broke the news to his family with sudden determination. , The Huggins’ turned their pockets in- side out. Among them, they mustered seven dollars, and Bill departed for Wash- ington with a few clean shirts and _ his beloved guitar. With his chin firmly set, the youngster known quite erroneously as “Lazy” Bill Huggins trekked up to WJSV, Columbia’s Washington station. There he had one contact, Harold Gray, a young man who used to announce Bill's programs over the Roanoke station. Fate played one of its deliberate stunts that day. A program being piped to the Station from a remote point failed to come through, and Announcer Gray rushed into the studio with Bill on his heels to pinch- hit. “Fill in with some songs!” Gray com- manded.

Fans raved into > ears of the program director. Was 1 Huggins to appear regularly? The answer was yes. Without further dition, Bill was scheduled for two pro- ms a_ week. He was practically amped with happiness, but do you think > long fight against poverty was over? was not! For the simple reason that ll’s sustaining programs did not pay, d there was still the problem of keep- all six feet of him alive. So Bill went the rounds of Washing- n theatres asking for a job. The man- er of the Palace told the anxious-eyed ung man from Roanoke that he regretted couldn’t use a singer, but he needed an her. Bill stepped into a uniform. His hours were 10 a. m. to 10 p. m ch morning he rose at seven to re- arse songs. Each evening he took his din- 1 hour off to sing over WJSV. A deep nyiction that he was nearing success “~pt him going. Some nights he procured -tfa jobs, and strummed in obscure clubs fom midnight to dawn on his guitar. | HEN came a bid which indirectly led Ito Bill’s entree on the Columbia net- rk. The Hangar Club hired him jor a yo weeks’ personal appearance. It was different reception than Bill got singing | the window of the clothing store. He tas what, in the show business, is termed ; “sensation.” And one night Jean Sar- 2nt and her manager came to hear him. Jean sent a rare thrill tingling up and gwn Bill’s spine when she called him terrific.’ But he had no idea what would yolve from the visit, or which way he ‘ould turn when the two weeks’ at the fangar Club drew to a close. What happened was that a telegram ‘ nded on the desk of the program direc- wat WJSV. It was from Jean Sar- ent’s manager and read “WOULD LIKE / OY I HEARD AT HANGAR CLUB mO COME TO NEW YORK FOR “UDITION.” He Went Hungry RADIO STARS - (Continued from page 83) Once again pockets were turned inside- out so that Bill could take another step in his career. His friends at WJSV gen- erously collected enough money for a round trip ticket, and Bill, somewhat dazed but suffused with excitement, board- ed the train for New York. WJSV wired WABC to extend every courtesy possible to their protege. When Bill stepped off the train in New York he strolled into a dream from which he has not yet extricated himself! It seemed unreal that he, Bill Huggins, had two auditions occurring in one day— first at Columbia—then for Jean’s man- ager. Before the CBS mike, Bill was pre- sented to the invisible “Gentlemen of the Audition Room.” He plucked on his guitar the reassuring first bars of “Home.” Bill was going strong on the next number when the production man called him. “Ralph Wonders wants to see you,” he said, unsmilingly. Bill's heart thumped violently, then seemed to stop. He was certain he had failed. He felt, he recalls, just like “Lyin’ down and dyin’.” Con- | fused, he blindly snatched his guitar in one hand, his guitar case in another, and stumbled into the executive’s office in the Artist’s Bureau. He was so obviously ter- rified that the men who sat around Ralph Wonder’s office burst into laughter. “Take it easy, kid,” Ralph said, removing a cigar from his mouth. “We can use you.” Bill collapsed forthwith into a chair. A contract waved before his eyes revived him. Then came two spots a week on the net- work. Bill’s victory is complete—almost.

But the try- ing business of making last year’s suit do another year is overnow! And his new con- tract with Enoc Light shows more promise.

To work together. To practise to- gether. To play together. To dream to- gether. Then, the same as now. One thing is certain. If Ramona hadn't kept on playing in the band she would have been playing the piano anyway. For ever since she was a little thing, even when she had to reach for the keyboard, the piano for her has been the very axis of her existence. When Ramona was two years old her family lived in Kentucky. There they had the first floor of a two-family house. Upstairs there was a little girl named Alice, who was eight years old and took piano lessons. While she practised with her teacher Ramona used to sit on the slippery edge of a horsehair chair, still as a mouse, absorbed in every sound which emanated from the room above her. When at last all sounds had ceased she used to toddle over to the piano, raise herself on tip-toe, and, just able to reach the key- board, play all she had heard. “T wonder,” Alice’s mother asked Ra- mona’s mother one day, “if you could stop Ramona from playing everything my Alice plays? Alice is in tears about it. She threatens to give up her lessons.” AMONA’S mother did her best. So did Ramona’s grandmother. But they got exactly nowhere. It was impossible to keep Ramona away from the piano. And it was impossible to keep her from play- ing the scales, exercises and simple little pieces she heard Alice play. Finally Alice gave up her lessons, as she had insisted she would. So Ramona’s musical education came to a halt, too. It continued again, however, with a private teacher soon after. Her grandmother saw to that for as a little girl she had wanted to play the piano. She had run errands for the neighborhood music teacher and taken care of her baby, because lessons had been promised as a reward. But those lessons never materialized and as long as the years in between had been, Ramona’s grandmother had remembered her frus- tration. So she saw to it that her grand- daughter was spared a similar experi- ence. When Ramona grew older she was sent to a convent. There the hours she spent in the music room, a quiet nun sitting be- side her at the piano, number among the most satisfying she ever has known. It was after Ramona and Howard Davies completed their Don Bestor en- gagement and returned to radio work that she sang for the first time, because she was horrified at the piano upon which she was asked to play for an audition. “I'll never make the grade on that old board,” she told Howard. She struck a few notes, tentatively, and proceeded at once to sing, in order to drown out the piano as much as possible. She had had no voice instruction. And has had none since, incidentally. Never before in her life had she sung except at parties gathered around the piano, the way everyone does. When Ramona was signed to a contract as a singer as well as a pianist, she nearly dropped dead. But you can’t get Howard Davies to admit that he was in the least surprised. If she should suddenly kiss him goodbye and start out for the moon, he would be quite sure she would get there, for he’s seen her accomplish othe feats which to a musician like himsel seem no less amazing. It was while Ramona was with thz Cincinnati broadcasting station, appearin in some capacity in practically every pre gram, that Paul Whiteman heard her an telephoned to ask her to dine with Mai garet Whiteman and himself the folloy ing evening. After dinner they sat over coffee ar cigarettes. “I want you to come wit me,” Paul told Ramona. “But .. well...” He looked at her appraising] She weighed one hundred and seventy-fr pounds. ‘Well, to be frank, I don’t wa so much of you. “I'll tell you what we'll do.

This is the place where t people of Hollywood come to and dance. In fact, the first I saw when I came in were the in- le and devoted Bebe Daniels and yon. There were others too, but dly paid any attention to anyone i= 4 else from the moment we sat down. It wasn't an intimate place certainly, but we just had so much to talk about. Suddenly it was two o'clock in the morning. Where the time had gone, I didn’t know. Nor did Lanny? And not even one word said about the reason I came to Hollywood. “Tell me, Lanny,” the Vendome, I said glancing about “would you like to be like these stars? Live in Hollywood all the time? Marry and settle down here? Be part of its social life?” Lanny grinned. ‘What is this, the in- terview ?” he asked. “It is,” I said firmly, “and I’m going to make you talk even if it’s tence each day I’m here.” “So let’s have another cup of coffee,” only one sen- Lanny hummed softly, signalling the waiter. I frowned: “Oh all right,” Lanny said ‘hastily. “The answer is, I don’t know. I’d like to be like some stars here. Perhaps like Ben and Bebe. Would you like to live here, Mary Lou?” “Right now, I think, forever,” I an- swered. And that was all I was able to find out from him that night. I slept late the next morning and I didn’t see Lanny until we met for lunch at the Brown Derby. Here, I reflected as we sat down in a booth, is the place to get him to talk. So nice and Lanny talked all right. But all hed do was ask me questions about the folks on Show Boat. How was Cap’n Henry. And why didn’t I bring Mrs. Jamieson along so he’d have some decent coffee. And he’d bought a little present for her, but he wouldn't tell me what it was. HIS life was been under lovely. I had the impression the movie celebrities were a busy folk. They are, too. But lots of them who came into the Brown Derby that day just seemed to want to talk and talk. Which was exactly what we'd like to have done, except that we nad our Show Boat hearsal that afternoon. “You're coming over to the Paramount lot early tomorrow morning and work,” Lanny told me as we hearsal. It was certainly surprising to see how early the stars are up and about. Lanny took me down the little street inside the lot to one of the small bungalows which lined it. We went inside. It was charm- ing. In fact everything one could. wish for in a cottage for two. I thought how many couples would be content to live their whole lives in a tiny place like this.

ee 6 ee ee NLY once in the following ten years did he ever have anything to do with European police. It was in Venice when he reported the loss of a tiny pin. “But you couldn’t have lost it!” the official ex- claimed incredulously. It was then that Ludwig delivered his epic: “I couldn’t? Say, I lost a bass drum once!” This, of course, was no way to start in to meet royalty, but as Gluskin said, reaching for his third bottle of beer, “you never can tell whom you're going to run into these days. “T hung around Paris until I landed a job playing drums in a French orchestra at the Perroquet. The leader of the band was a Frenchman who had a habit of not showing up for work, so I would lead the band. “One night Albert, the maitre de hotel, asked me why I didn’t organize my own band. I did, and the following summer I went to play at Le Touquet, the Channel resort frequently visited by English royalty, where Albert had a job at the new Royal Picardy Hotel.” LTHOUGH young Ludwig didn’t know it at the time, Fate, in the form of Albert, had taken him firmly by the hand and was leading him on to Destiny. “I had been there a week,” Gluskin re- lates, “when, on a Saturday night, Albert came skating across the ballroom floor, his face lit up like a new moon and his eyes turned up to the ceiling as if he had caught a celestial vision. We were play- ing for a party given by Mrs. Robert Sweeney, the American hostess, and I was in the middle of ‘Ain’t We Got Fun?’” Albert pulled the young American band leader down to him and exclaimed: ‘Don’t look around. And don’t stop playing. His royal highness, the Prince of Wales, is on the floor!” But let Gluskin tell the rest of it: ‘So I, of course, like a dummy, looked around and sure enough there was the Prince of Wales hoofing it with an American girl. And boy, was he hot! “Albert pulled desperately on my sleeve and I signaled the boys to keep on play- ing as long as they could hold out.” “It is the fashion,” Albert told him, “never to stop playing while the Prince is on the floor.” “Ii the Prince can hold out, so can we,” Gluskin shot back. UDWIG chuckled. “From that time on, it became a marathon. We swung into playing ‘On the Alamo,’ which was popu- lar at the time and the Prince requested it again and again. He was on the floor an hour and a half and wore out three girls, all Americans. He’s a swell dancer. boyish and likeable and we amused our- selves by stepping up the time a bit just to see him hop.” That was a momentous night for Glus- kin. But the following day was even more exciting. A royal “command” came from the, Prince to follow him to London and play for him there. “He liked our music so well that we played for him often,’ Gluskin said. “He’s crazy about dancing, and of all European royalty I consider him the best. He’s young and modern and steps more like an American Harvard boy than a European.” RADIO STARS The success of Gluskin and his music with the Prince of Wales made the band overnight the most sought after represen- tative of jazz music in Europe. Society clamored for it and it became» American Exhibit A before royalty. “The kings and the princes like it hot. We found that out soon enough,” Ludwig chuckled. “I thought they would go for the old, more stately European miu-ic, but when the Prince of Wales all but {Jllowed us around Europe; and when King AI- phonse dropped in unexpectedly at rehear- sal at the Ritz in Paris and remained to hoof it the rest of the night; and when Crown Prince Wilhelm went nuts over ‘Sonny Boy’ in Berlin, while President Von Hindenberg sat by and chuckled, I began to figure I was all wrong. “And here’s the payoff,” he added. “When I came back to America and had auditions at NBC and Columbia I gave them the best of the American music I had given royalty. And was there a squawk! They wanted European music. So here I am playing continental music in America.” After London, then Paris, Nice, Cannes, Biarritz, Monte Carlo, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Amsterdam, Budapest and Rome called for Gluskin and his band. “The idea began to get around that we were hot, and American hostesses, anxious to show off American jazz to distinguished European guests, gave us plenty of work.” NE afternoon at the Ritz in Paris, Gluskin was rehearsing his band when a dark, suave, keen-faced gentleman with a little black mustache paused at the door of the ballroom to listen. tapping his foot on the floor, his dark eyes glowing with appreciation of the primitive jazz music. “T noticed him standing there,’ Gluskin relates, “and he came over and _ intro- duced himself. It was King Alphonse of Spain. I’ve never met a sweller guy. He was worldly and sophisticated, but quite affable and democratic—all big men are | like that, kings or what have you? He knew his music, too, and explained that he was interested in the new primitive music because Spain was a primi- tive country. So he felt that there was an afhnity between the rhythms blended into American life from Africa and the folk music of Spain, stemming from the early Moors. During the whole rehearsal he stayed around and then returned that night to dance until morning. The next day came a summons to play at a private party given for the Duke and Duchess of York. “We didn’t know what to expect, and besides, I didn’t feel any too good anyway,” Gluskin admitted. ‘The maitre de hotel came to me very solemnly before the party and told me that we all must wear evening dress, and above all, not pay attention to royalty while they were dancing. It might embarrass them. THAT was all right with us, until the | Prince of Wales and the Prince of Monaco walked in wearing slacks and old polo shirts and the King of Sweden came in ducks.

N.Y. - 90 RADIO STARS the younger members of the party cut loose and had a good time. “The King of Sweden didn’t dance, but he liked our music—especially ‘If You Knew Susie, Like I Know Susie.” We played it for him later at Stockholm. “The Duke of Connaught, who dropped in that night and was present at other dances, became a jazz addict. He was too old to dance, but he loved the rhythms. I would watch his feet tapping on the floor and play the hottest things I could find. It made a young man out of him!” Gluskin paused and reached for his beer. “As a matter of fact,” he com- mented, “these kings were starved for hot stuff, but they dared not admit it. They had to behave, but I could see. To them, American jazz was the new thing of the world and they were anxious to get it. “Why, old King Manuel of Portugal used to come in and sit around like a tired business man at the Follies. If I had had a floor show with a dozen pretty girls, I could have started a revolution.” Kings are far too polite to show any public disapproval of music, Gluskin re- vealed. Nor do they applaud. If they don’t like you, the next day a government man comes around and finds something the matter with your papers. Little Ludwig had no trouble, however. He was selected to open the famous UFA movie palace in Berlin, a signal honor and a concession to all American musicians. “Crown Prince Wilhelm was funny,” he said. “He was second to enter the royal box behind President Von Hindenberg. Most of the royal family was present. I gave them everything I had for I was in the greatest music-loving nation in Europe and they loved it.” In Copenhagen, Gluskin played for the King of Denmark, who, he declares, is the livest of monarchs still warming a throne, “Those northern people are nearest to us in temperament. They may not quite un- derstand American music, but they like us. Of all Europe, our music goes best in Germany and, surprisingly enough, in Hol- land. The Dutch like it hot, too. They'd tear down their dykes for Cab Calioway or Duke Ellington!” Ludwig looked into his empty beer glass reflectively. “Kings are no different than other people. They step out just about like the business man over here, maybe with a little more trapping. But if any- thing, I think they’re hotter than the American business man. It may be some- thing in their blood, but it seems to me that they react quicker to jazz music. They’re more or less like the young peo- ple over here. They've got rhythms. And don't think because some of them are old, and just sit on a throne, that they’re all through! Boy, you don't know nothing, Kings like it hot.” Babies Wanted (Continued from page 23) little stranger who may be exactly oppo- site them in disposition. Do they accept her traits and love her just the same? No, they begin to make her over. And you know what happens when you try to change a child completely, how you bring every- thing bad out and discard the good. Thwarted from becoming what Nature in- tended, the child grows into a rebellious, heart-broken, wretched misfit.” You’ve heard how Jack Pearl, with a quarter of a million dollars, has never been able to get the one thing out of life he wants. The dreams of success he and his pretty wife, Winifred Desbrough, labored for were fulfilled, but the dreams that every couple has of children and a home were swept away. Now Jack Pearl is going to adopt two children, a boy of about eight months and a little girl. The Cradle is trying to fill his order. When Mrs. Pearl comes back from Europe late in October, the baby or babies should be ready for delivery. He’d like the boy first. “All we ask,” Jack told me, “is that the babies be normally intelligent. I don’t care what they look like. They can be ugly and puny and underweight. I’m not a beauty myself. We want to get babies who need us, for dimpled darlings can find some one to take care of them soon enough. Lots of folks, I know, feel that the babies have got to come of married parents, but our babies can be love-children. Doctors, you know, say they are usually the cream of the crop.” As for the risk he’s taking, Jack Pearl pooh-hoos it. Everything that’s worth- while in life is a_ risk,” he says: “When- you adopt a baby you pick an almost sure winner, for he begins paying heavy dividends in love and joy the minute you pick him up. Within a few years your investment has tripled and multiplied many times in value, and the older you become the more valuable he grows. The more you talk to radio stars the more convinced you become they expect to corner the baby market this fall. “The way I look at it,” Jack Denny told me, “is that you’ve got to take a chance in everything, so why balk at adopting a youngster? Lots of people who adopt them are disappointed, I know, but then there are an equal number of parents who are disappointed in their own offspring. “My mother and dad had doubts of how I’d turn out and there were times when they felt sure I was headed for the dogs. Your mother probably worried about you. For seven years Merle and I have been married and we haven’t any children. We're not waiting any longer for the stork. Right now Merle is out looking for a little boy to adopt and our friends are all in- quiring around for us.” The Dennys want a boy about a year old, with blond hair and blue eyes, like Mrs. Denny’s. No foundling or illegiti- mate youngsters for them. Its parents have to be upright, honest people so that when the boy gets to be about ten, and they explain that he is adopted, he will have nothing to be ashamed of in his heredity. What of the radio stars who have already adopted children? How do they SS oe

feel about the whole perplexing matter? For instance, there’s Ray Perkins, who adopted Wendy Gay about two gears ago. So attached have the Perkins become to the little one that they stiffen up when someone reminds them she’s not their own _ flesh and blood. § HEN there’s Morton Downey, who also . has an adopted son, Michael, as well as _ his own-boy, Morton, Jr. Several months after the curly-haired tot had come to rule the Downey household ' Morton and Barbara realized they were going to have a baby. But give up Michael? Not if they could help it, for they were as fond of the chubby, mis- chievous youngster as if he were their own. “He'll be a companion to Morton, Jr.,” they said after their first-born ar- rived. Isham Jones, the bandmaster and songwriter, has a little boy, David. Perhaps you didn’t know that David is an adopted child. Yes, of course he looks like Mrs. Jones, but nevertheless he came to the Jones ready-made. The story of how he became young Master Jones hasn’t been told before. “Our David came rather suddenly,” Mar- _ garet Jones said. “While I was visiting a friend at a maternity hospital, a nurse came in carrying a tiny, red-faced, scream- ing, kicking baby. ‘Poor kid,’ she said, ‘his mother has just died and nobody wants him. I don’t blame him for bawling!” RADIO STARS Margie felt an unexpected clutch at her | had man-like, child. always wanted a baby, couldn’t see taking When the subject heart. She but Isham, someone else’s of adoption is first broached, most men feel that way. Here was a darling pink and white mite, literally theirs for the asking. “That’s my boy,” she announced to the startled nurse. “I’m coming back for him.” Almost before he realized what had hap- pened, Isham Jones had succumbed to the charms of the little tot and David was installed as reigning monarch in the Jones apartment. There he rules his kingdom with an iron hand, interrupting Isham when Isham is practicing or composing and getting his “dada” down on all fours for a horseback ride. Yet the thin-lipped, stern-faced Isham Jones actually enjoys being bossed around by this two-and-a-half- foot bundle of humanity. Now the latest news along radio row is that Jack Benny and Mary Livingston, in- spired by the experience of couples who have adopted babies, are in the market for a baby girl, while Al Jolson says that if the stork doesn’t deliver a baby to him and Ruby Keeler pretty soon, he'll be shopping around for a ready-made little Al, Jr. And that’s what’s happening along the ether lane, a mad rush for babies to adopt. So if you know of any toddlers that could stand adopting, why, just let your pet childless star know about him. WSM—Where They Believe Most Folk Are Fine and Friendly (Continued from page 59) goal—public service. But the time came that increased power and extended services were necessary to the advancement of the station and its purposes. All of us know that costs money. The directors got their heads to- gether and started figuring. “If we sell four programs,” they said, “the problem will be solved.” Only four, mind you. The salesmen went out. Within one hour the four programs were sold. And about a dozen others were turned down. If four would do the trick, only four would be sold. Those were the orders. You can _ imagine the scramble of Nashville busi- ness men to buy that air-time. This is where Harry Stone comes into the picture. He had been running a small Station in Nashville, but now that WSM was doing commercial work, he was called to assist Director Hay. TRY as hard as we may, we can’t keep “The Grand Old Op’ry” out of the pic- ture. It seems that WSM’s history _ Weaves around that show. Between 1928 and 1932 it grew in popularity by leaps and bounds. And first thing he knew, George D. Hay was the “Solemn Old Judge” on a four-hour “Op’ry” instead of the one hour show it started out to be. So in November, 1932, Stone was made the Station’s manager, and Hay became the chief character actor and publicity director. - e The station continued to grow. Stone developed the commercial side of the sta- tion and put it on a paying scale. But, re- member, he maintained all of the good-will features which had given this station its individuality. Right off the bat he increased the power from 5000 to 50,000 watts. And 878 feet up in the air rose America’s tallest an- tenna. And, for that matter, the tallest structure of any kind in America except- ing New York’s Empire State Building. It’s a beautiful sight, that antenna. Standing in the center of a thirty-five acre tract twelve miles out of Nashville, it towers up like a silver streak against the green background of the Tennessee moun- tains. Only a few feet in diameter at the bottom, it bulges at the center and then tapers into a point. Eight big guy wires, heavily anchored in ten feet of concrete on a bed of solid rock, hold it up as pro- grams are shot out from it into space seventeen and a half hours daily. Nashville is proud of WSM. It should be, for Nashville is a city of diversified interests and it has been WSM’s job to cater to them all. Vanderbilt University, George Peabody College for Teachers, Fisk University, Ward-Belmont College for Women, Scarritt College, the Nashville Conservatory of Music—all have been afforded the use of WSM.

PAUL RIEGER, America’s Master Perfumer 278 First Street, San Francisco, California 22 pee RADIO STARS located the heads of the state government and many state institutions. None are ever refused the use of WSM. It is a historical center, the headquarters of many religious faiths, and you will find that reflected in WSM’s list of programs. Out in the hills that surround the city, are the moun- taineers, plain people of simple means. They, too, have influenced the station. UT you already know that WSM_ has served these interests. The Fisk Jubi- lee Singers first went on the air from this station. “The Grand Old Op’ry” is the | kind of entertainment closest to the hearts of its rural listeners. It has fostered real American folk music, and everyone knows that its programs of Negro dialect are as real as possible for a white man to devise. Then, too, WSM has been an NBC out- let since 1926, and broadcasts some of the finest programs available from NBC’s studios in New York, Chicago and other points. Perhaps you will recall incidents where NBC has looked to WSM ‘or talent and programs. I think you ought to know of some of the real tangible services this station has WSM Is Proudest of Its “Grand Old Opry” (Continued from page 61) the regular rates to advertise on this show. Judge Hay, the father of the idea, and still the “Solemn Old Judge” stepped out as WMS’s manager because of “The Grand Old Opry.” The program grew to such size that he had to give it his entire time. That’s how important a show it is. Now here’s something unusual. Every time the “opry” goes on the air, Robert Lunn sings two numbers, one of which is always “The Talking Blues.” He has sung that song hundreds of times. You'd think people would get tired of it. Instead, they demand it every week. Uncle Dave Macon, troubador of the Tennessee hills for some forty years, is one of the main attractions. He’s sixty- four and the father of eight grown sons. Uncle Dave is always there playing his RADIO STARS Cooking School (Continued from page 64) for apples a bit too far, don’t you think? Martha broke in with a smile. “But though the apple pie was greeted with laughter at that particular meal it has since become one of our favorite desserts. The maid does something to the crust which makes it superb and cooks it in a big, square pan instead of in the usual round pie tin. And she always serves cream with it. It’s divine!” “Tt’s not one bit better than my apple pie,” Vet claimed, interrupting us, “I’ve never learned to make pastry,” she con- fessed, “so when someone suggested that performed. Do you remember the tornado disaster in Florida in 19267 Well, WSM — knew that people in that state were suffer- ing and were in dire need of food and clothing. WSM told their listeners about it. Such an appeal was a thing new to radio in those days. Programs were interrupted while announcers read messages asking for any donation at all to relieve the sufferers. Those listeners responded to the tune of $65,000, which was turned over to the Red Cross. On another occasion, when the state of Mississippi was drenched in floods, WSM again put the disaster before its listeners. Had they forgotten the joy they had in helping Florida? Would they rally again? Within a few days WSM received $30,000. And no big contributions, mind you. Just a lot of dimes and quarters and dollar bills—some from mountain farmers to whom a dime meant a bigger sacrifice than a million dollars would mean to a Rockefeller or a Henry Ford. Yes, a spirit of real Southern hospitality pervades WSM. That’s the spirit on which it operates. banjo and singing “Old Dan Tucker,” “Whoop ’em Up Cindy” and “The Hungry Hash House on the Hill.” He still lives on the farm where he was born. Dr. Bate, who presents his “Possum Hunters,’ is a country doctor from near Gallatin, Tennessee, who practices medi- cine at any hour except Saturdays from 8 to 12 midnight. Then he’s on the air. You'd think that one such unusual pro- gram would be enough for one station. Well, WSM is not satisfied with that. Listen in on the Pan American broad- cast. AILS click. A long low whistle in the distance and then the thunder of a locomotive is followed by the whiz of a crack train.

Well, no matter, I have it now, The fourth Boswell treat is a recipe for Apple Jam which the girls brought “up No’th” with them. It’s an old New Or- leans specialty, quite spicy, of course, as that is characteristic of Creole cookery. When you've once made this jam you'll want to have jars and jars of it on hand.

Actually, WSM has a tiny house only a few feet from the rails. Every day at 5 p. m. a microphone is hung from the front door. As the train roars down the track, it automatically throws on a bell signal in The mike is turned on. The And WSM broadcasts the Pan American. The whole show lasts only three minutes, commercial announcement and all. And it’s the same every day. Yet Nashville-stops its work to listen. And people all over middle America set their clocks by it. Another show that has reached amazing heights is “Uncle Wash and The Solemn Old Judge.” Hay again is the judge. As you know, this is a program in Negro dialect, presented by people who really know Negro life. Back in 1928, Uncle Wash, the old Negro character, took an imaginary trip on his mule named “Dyna- mite.” During the course of the trip, Dynamite and Uncle Wash were arrested for not using a tail light. After that pro- gram, listeners sent in dozens of tail lights And there were so many letters expressing sorrow for Uncle Wash and disgust for the officers who arrested him, that the writer of the radio script had to write Uncle Wash and Dynamite out of the jail and make things end happily. There are a lot of artists at this station, all working together in friendly fashion. Christine Lamb, a contralto, is a girl to the house. whistle blows. passing of the whom WSM points with pride.

But don’t go so fast, Big Boy. Perhaps you dream of being a radio big shot some | day. Perhaps some day your dreams may come true. Stranger things have happened. And when they do come true, you Great Big Lover, you, that blonde may still get you. Radio stars are often asked to pay the price for the loves of their salad days. Look at what happened to Paul White- man. When Paul was a boy of eighteen, a fiddler in a little theatre in Denver, he fell in love with Nellie Stack a girl in the chorus, with black hair and black eyes. Eighteen-year-old Paul married the little chorus girl. It was a secret, romantic elopement. And right after it happened, Nellie’s mamma rushed out to Denver to scold her little girl for going on the stage. Not knowing that her daughter was married, she took her to Europe. When they came back, Paul was waiting for Nellie. When Mama heard they were married, she was aghast. What, her little girl had married without her permission! And they had been married by a squire! It was quite terrible of them. But since they’d done it anyway, the proper thing to do was to be married all over again by a priest. Mama Stack had her way. They were re-married by Father Foley at the Holy Church. Nellie and Paul lived together for only a few months. Paul claimed later that his wife deserted him. Mama _ Stack claimed later that Paul deserted Nellie. Perhaps the saddest part of the whole story is that a son was born to Nellie in May, 1909, and died in September of the same year without Paul ever laying eyes on him. And now mark what happened. The years went by. The fiddler of the little Denver theatre became a nationally known master of red-hot rhythms. Paul Whiteman had come into his own. SEVENTEEN years after he and his wife parted—seventeen years, mind you —Nellie’s mama launched a $10,000 suit against him. She claimed that this was the amount she had spent caring for her daughter after Paul deserted her. Of course Paul should have fought the case. But a man can take just so much and no more. If Paul Whiteman’s name had been dragged through any more mud, whether he was innocent or guilty in the sight of a higher court than any that could ever try him here, the result would have been the same. His career would have been wrecked. Paul settled for $7,750 just before the case went to trial. That was the price he paid for a few brief months of love. I daresay that Paul has paid as high a price for love as any man on Radio Row. Paul Whiteman has loved madly, im- petuousiy many times in his glamorous carcer. And almost every time, at the end of the road, he has found that love had a price tag attached to it. You see, Margaret Livingston is his fourth wife. I’m not defending Paul for marrying so many times. I’m just pointing out the high cost of being so affectionate. I don’t know how much alimony he paid to “Jimmy” Smith, who divorced him in Los Angeles in 1922. But the alimony he pays “1 Couldnt Sit. Couldnt Stand. Couldateven Lie Doun! Ved THERE is anybody who knows what suffering is, it is the person afflicted with Piles! Piles can do more to torment you and pull you down physically and mentally than almost any other single ailment. Yet on account of the deli- cacy of the subject many hesitate to seek relief. Yet Piles can have a very serious outcome, often necessitating surgery. If there’s anything that is genuine treatment of Piles it is Pazo Ointment! Pazo almost instantly relieves the pain, soreness and itching and stops any bleeding. But, more than that, Pazo tends to correct the condition of Piles as a whole. This is why: Pazo is threefold in effect. First, it is soothing, which relieves the soreness and inflammation. Second, it is healing, which repairs the torn and damaged tissues. Third, it is absorbing, which dries up any mucous matter and tends to shrink the swollen blood vessels which are Piles. Pazo comes in two forms—in tubes and tins. The tubes have a special Pile Pipe for insertion in the rectum. All drug stores sell Pazo at small cost. Get either a tube or tin today and see the genuine relief it holds in store for you.

He had been built up as a romantic figure and his love romance as an idyll. Now the public is bitterly disillusioned. What sponsor would back Arthur Tracy now; what broadcasting company throw the weight of its publicity in his favor? There is a price to be paid for love on Radio Row and a price to be paid for falling out of love. Freddie Rich almost paid that price. So did Phil Baker. Backstage at The Spotlight Revue’ (Continued from page the she’s instead a typewriter. Then she won Atwater Kent audition in 1930 and been riding the wings of success ever since. Say, what’s this? Crumit and An- nouncer Von Zell are both talking at once. Well, here’s something. See? Crumit is out there in front of the curtain. That’s Von Zell behind the scenes, over there in the corner. The tall blond, athletic look- ing fellow. He talks to that mike as if it were a person, “Forty-five minutes of entertainment from the beer that made Milwaukee famous! SCHLITZ—Schlitz Beer!” That’s what the folks at home are hear- ing. But Crumit’s voice isn’t traveling the air. He’s not talking into a mike yet. He’s out there welcoming the studio audi- ence. Telling them how to behave. To have a good time. It’s their program. “Clap and laugh right out loud if you feel like it. And sing! If you can’t sing good, sing loud!” He waves them into an old favorite tune. The curtain soars up to their laughing and singing. Vic has his light flannel coat on now and is batoning his men with as much pep as the ork leader at a college prom. The fellows are in white slacks and their shirts are open at the collar. Every man’s foot beats time to his music. Von He’s introducing the stars. Listen to this. Notice the way Vic glides into a different strain introducing each star. The tune spots the star you'll hear— Everett Marshall’s is ‘“That’s Why Darkies Are Born;” Frank Crumit’s, “Gay Cabal- lero;” Carol Deis’, “With a Song in My Heart;” the Eight Gentlemen from Mil- waukee, “It’s Always Fair Weather.” And Colonel Stoopnagle and Budd—suddenly the orchestra breaks off in mid air.

His chest swells and the cords stand out in his neck. He has on his coat now, but you expect it to be jerked off any minute. Recognize the stooped old fellow hob- bling up to the mike as the last notes of Marshall’s song cuts the air? I mean that white-haired old gentleman with the stray beard. He’s wearing a red sweater. That’s Uncle Abner of the querulous old voice—it’s young Parker Fennelly, who’s been taking character parts since he was | a boy in school. Oh look. Here comes Stoop and Budd. Those favorite idiots who are always tied up with their gas organ. See—Budd’s dragging the broad-beamed, beetle-browed Colonel out on the stage in the darn thing. And do they like color? Look at that gilt and red contraption. A wagon like any kid would make with four wheels and a soap box. With the exception that these prize dumbells have nailed half a dozen stove pipes on the front and added a few old organ keys. Budd must have some good ones up his sleeve tonight. Look at the way his face crinkles up and his shrewd eyes twinkle. This blond Budd is just the best egger- onner ever, gets the Colonel all twisted up in his jokes. Don’t feel badly because they’re rushing away. They’ll be back, you can always depend on that. The Master of Ceremonies is at the mike again. Carol Deis is going to sing. Notice how the whole place quiets into breathless expectancy. She’s the girl, you remember, we saw knitting. She’s holding her hand to her ear to distinguish the trueness of the notes of her love song. The jolly gang who chime in on the chorus of her song are those inimitable Eight Gentlemen from Milwaukee. They look like the old college glee club, don’t they? Short, dark, tall, light, thin and chubby, they represent an octette of swell voices for song and speaking. By the way they provide all the extra speaking voices on the program. Uncle Abner is hobbling back now to lose a case of Schlitz to his nephew Crumit on the song guessing. Listen to the way the audience joins in on the choruses of the old favorites. Quick, quick. Look at the chubby Col- onel. The roly poly. With nothing on but a tiger skin. He’s rushing down the aisle. The crowd is going wild. Thursday, his man (Budd) who used to be his man Friday, but who had to take a cut like everybody else these days, catches up with him. I'll bet Budd hasn’t a shirt under that huge necktie. He certainly doesn’t need one for covering, anyway. Did you ever see such prize half wits? One night it’s a tiger skin, another time a long black frock coat and stovepipe hat. Loin cloth and boots. Sleeveless shirts and shirtless sleeves. You certainly can depend on them for a laugh. Television can’t arrive too soon to keep us home when such comedians are dished up our amusement. With a crash the orchestra swings the cast into song and the curtain goes down and home we must go. Say, look at the performers making a dive for their hats and the stage door. Speed up.

Don, who is‘on the Art Fair roster, studied in the Layton Art School in Mil- waukee and for several years held down a job as cartoonist and radio editor, first in Milwaukee and later in Louisville. He has since gained fame on National Broad- casting Company networks as one of the “Two Professors,” and is now heard as master of ceremonies on the Climalene Carnival and the Breakfast Club. Miss Page modeled for the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies’ Home Journal covers by McMein and Brunner, and once posed for the nurse on a Red Cross pos- ter. She would still be a professional model, probably, if she hadn’t won q Paul Whiteman audition two years ago. She was immediately signed as featured singer with Seymour Simons’ orchestra. In May, 1934, she joined the National Broadcast- ing Company. @ Ralph Kirbery, NBC’s “Dream Sing- er,” celebrates his third anniversary on radio in November. Ralph’s first program was an American Legion production over WODA, Paterson, N. J., on Armistice Day, 1931. @ The teacher who convinced Conrad Thibault he could sing and who trained him thirteen years ago, saw Conrad before the mike for the first time last August. The teacher was William J. Short, supervisor of music in the Northampton Public Schools. Thirteen years ago he found Conrad singing at his work. He was then seventeen years old and a stock clerk in the local telephone company. @ The fellow who plays the part of “Jack” on the “One Man’s Family” pro- gram over NBC Saturday nights, is the son of Don Gilman, vice president of NBC’s Pacific Coast division. @ [reene Wicker, the Singing Lady of NBC, had to give up that European va- cation in August. It’s all her husband’s fault, for Walter has written, produced and sold a new radio serial titled “Song of the City.” Ireene is now playing the leading role in the sketch which concerns a crip- pled girl and her physician. The sponsor, Proctor and Gamble, wanted the show to start the middle of August so Ireene had to content herself with a trip to Bermuda. @ Alice Joy, radio’s Dream Girl, has transferred her radio activities to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a couple of months. @ Sometimes the movies aren’t all the artists expect. Take, for example, the case of Tito Guizar, CBS Spanish singer. Tito went to Hollywood to play with Janette McDonald in “Bitter Sweet” and wound up by making a Spanish short. Now he’s dissatishied with the short. But to even matters, he got seven weeks salary for nine days work. @ One of the most beautiful homes in Glencoe, swank north shore suburb of Chicago, was sold recently, but the iden- tity of the new owner was kept secret, at least so far as the neighbors were con- cerned. Then one day a chauffeur in- formed his employer that he had a clew as to the buyer. “It’s an English lady. A lady with a title,’ he confided. “Is that so,’ exclaimed his mistress. “Did you get the name?” “Yes, madame,” the chauf- feur informed her. ‘Lady Esther.” The buyer was Miss Syma Cohen who with her brother, Alfred Cohen is owner of the Lady Esther concern for which Wayne King broadcasts. @ Jack Benny switches sponsors again. But, if rumors are right, it will be only temporary. October 7 or 14 will see Jack and his whole cast of actors and singers on NBC at 7 p.m. (EST) Sundays for Jello. After a run of an unannounced number of weeks, he will again go back to General Tire, the sponsor which pre- sented him throughout the summer. © Camel Cigarettes will present the Casa Loma Orchestra, Walter O’Keefe, and Annette Hanshaw on two CBS spots beginning this month. Shake Hands with a Millionaire (Continued from page 33) as he now thinks he should have gotten married to Clara Bow—I think he’ll spend more time in his Beach Hurst and Florida homes. But get him away from the electric furor and fanfare of singing on the air, at nightclubs, on the screen? I don’t be- lieve it. That’s Harry’s dream—and he means it from the bottom of his heart. And that dream is the pay-off on Harry Richman. It shows him up. It shows that really un- derneath it all he’s a softy. Shake hands with a millionaire. You've heard him sing it. You're a pretty tough customer if you don't get a kick out of the down-and-outer who’s on top of the world because he’s got a kid. Harry sings it because he knows that song touches your heart. But there’s another reason why Harry sings that song and songs like it. T’S a secret that even Harry doesn’t know. He wants a family. Kids. That’s a fact, folks. Many years ago he went to see Charlie Chaplin in an American masterpiece, “The Kid.” Jackie Coogan in the title rdle— yes, the same Jackie who today is run- ning around Hollywood with Toby Wing —touched something in Harry Richman. Harry sat in that theatre—he admitted it to me finally the other night—and got a kick that nothing in his life had ever given him before. He got an idea, too. The idea was “Dirty Hands, Dirty Face.” You can't have for- a7 rJatadaa

And it was a success not only because Harry had begun to learn how to sing, but be- cause the song sprang from a genuine, heartfelt dream inside him. The dream of having.a kid. His kid. Then came “My Kid,” a song that grew on the same tree. These are the melodies he loves to sing. ““Puttin’ on the Ritz” is a swell, hot tune and when Harry tilts his straw hat over his ear and treads water with his cane it gives you a lift, but nothing like the lift you get out of “Shake Hands with a Millionaire,” the grandson of “Dirty Hands, Dirty Face.” But now he knows that not marrying Clara was the biggest mistake he ever made. Now he looks back on his long life (he’s approaching forty) and wonders if that dream of being a millionaire—actu- ally and sentimentally—will ever come true. He remembers how he ran away from Cincinnati in his early teens because “T was tired of being flattered by my mother. She thought I was grand, but nobody else did.” When the “Jewel City Trio” made such a hit out west on the Orpheum Circuit, he thought he was set. His act was named after the Tower of Jewels at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco where they'd gotten their start. All the agents wanted to handle them and circuits wanted to book them. Harry visualized his name in elec- tric lights. He was going to be a great star! Then they came to New York, to the Alhambra Theatre, the best in those days. FTER two shows they were finished. It was Harry’s biggest disappointment and took him two years to get over it. But in order to make a living he teamed first with the Dolly Sisters and then with Mae West, playing the piano and singing. Mae West and Harry Richman split up because they couldn’t get work. Mae was asking $750 for their act and the bookers were only willing to go to $500. Mae said no. So did the bookers. He reminisces about his amazing career and yet is willing to say that he’ll throw it all away the moment the opportunity arises. A New York columnist hopes he has picked that opportunity for Harry. She is Joan English, who played in the Riviera show. I’ve met her. She's a smart kid and lovely to look at. The columnist saw a ring that Harry had given her and im- mediately concluded it was an engage- ment ring. I think Harry’s pretty crazy about Joan and likes to give her presents. But I believe him when he says: “There’s no love between us, or anything silly like that.” Harry says that the girl he marries will have more intellect than beauty. “But of course,” he adds, “she must have a beauti- ful figure. Every man demands that of the woman he marries.” Me, I like this fellow who’s a combina- tion of hardboiled Broadway patter and sincerely sentimental visions. When he re- grets not having married Clara Bow I know what he means. He wants to be a millionaire, sentimentally and _ financially, and Clara seems to have been the only girl who brought him close to the sentimental part of his dream.

When Your Husband Cheats | HEY were married when Julia was about twenty. With his prize won, Tod lost some of his interest in her, and began to regret the promises he had made. Though Julia had been too young and unsophisticated to foresee, it was only nat- ural that with the passing of months the ex-jockey should revert back to his role of playboy. Still Julia clung to her ideals of what marriage might mean; still she clung to the hope that Tod would live up to everything she expected of him, till the day came when she could no longer cling to meaningless’ illusions. Tod had been unfaithful! When Julia Sanderson learned that, the world reeled. HAT should she do? Forgive such a man and say, “There, there, little boy, I know you’ve done wrong, but mama will forget everything?” Not for a moment did Julia Sanderson consider anything like it. Though her heart was broken, she knew what it would mean to forgive; how through the years there'd be one indiscretion after another, till love turned to bitter hatred. “I won’t fight to hold any man!” That was the answer her heart gave when life flung at her its most bitter challenge. That was in 1908. From that day the How My Cinderella Dreams Came True night club shows,” my friend remarked. “Let’s go up and see him.” There were a lot of girls up in that small booking office, yet Mr. Pomeroy singled us out and let many of the others go. That was how I found myself in the chorus lineup once again. This time the show was at a Chinese-American restau- rant on Broadway, the Palais D’Or. We did a sort of Turkish harem num- ber which made quite a hit-with the diners. After only a week I found myself with a specialty number to do. But as I said before, I learned the code of the theatre when I lost that first job with Chester Hale. And my first disap- pointment was turned to good luck when Chester Hale returned with the girls, for he sent for me and I was put back in his show. T was from here I went to the chorus call | for George White’s “Scandals” when he was casting that show. It proved to be the most momentous occasion of my life for it was in this show that I met Rudy Vallee and got the subsequent chance to sing as his guest over the radio which brought me eventually to Hollywood and my present Fox movie contract. I guess everybody has heard that song called “Lovable.” That’s the song Rudy first heard me sing. There were still several minutes before the curtain was 100 RADIO STARS (Continued from page 77) marriage between herself and Tod Sloan was as if it had never been. “T would never fight to hold a man— never! If a man is unfaithful once, it’s best for a woman to make one good, swift, clean break, and try to forget him. “I don’t believe for a minute in the idea that men are weaklings who ought to be forgiven for yielding to temptation, and helped over the rough spots. I’ve worked with men on the stage and in radio since I was fourteen, and I’ve never noticed that they’re such a lot of weaklings. Person- ally, I don’t like weak men. I’d rather have a strong man to lean on than a weak one whom I have to pull up.” FTER her first bitterly unhappy mar- riage, Julia declared she’d never marry again. But of course that was only a passing phase. No girl as beautiful as Julia can possibly mean it when she says that she is through with love. And so she married again. It was a gorgeous naval wedding, with swords and gold lace. The bridegroom was Bradford Barnette, a naval lieutenant whom she had met at tea on board a United States battleship. About that marriage no one knows very much, except that once again Julia and her husband were hopelessly incompatible. Once again she answered life’s challenge, (Continued from page 84) due to go up. While standing in the wings I sang one of the tunes from the show, which the orchestra at that moment was playing. Unknown to me Rudy Val- lee was standing just behind the curtain in the first wings, as he usually did at the beginning of the show. He let me sing a whole chorus before he said anything, then he told me that he liked my voice. Since this was at Atlantic City we were still in the trial stage. The girl who had become an overnight star with the opening of the show had suddenly developed a case of laryngitis and it was necessary to find someone to take her place. Rudy Vallee immediately went to George White and suggested that White give me a try. He listened to me, but I guess I was too nervous to justify.Mr. Vallee’s opinion of me. At any rate I did not get the chance. However, Rudy told me to buck up and start learning popular songs so that when he found a chance for me to sing some time with a band I would be prepared. When the opportunity did come during the following summer engagement, I was ready. RUDY is a marvelous person. He has helped me as would the most sincere friend any girl could have, and he has ‘given me hope and encouragement when I felt everything going against me. For more than once I have felt shaky as I Printed in the U. S. A. by Art Color Printing Company, Dunellen, N. J. is “T will not fight to hold any man!” Julia had been separated from Lieuter ant Barnette for four years when she ‘ Frank Crumit. He, too, knew what disillu- sionment meant, for his own marriage had mocked his dreams and hopes. i= It wasn’t long before she and Frank Crumit became a popular musical comedy team, and in their plays together, Frank fed the flames of their unrealized love. Gradually into his words and into his love- making on the stage there crept something real and vital. In July, 1927, they were married. No mere young infatuation in this, but the love that comes with mature years, deep, thrill- ing and satisfying. Yet, though she adores Frank Crumit, Julia Sanderson still says, “No, I wouldn’t fight to hold any man’s love, not even Frank’s. Though it’s incon- ceivable to me that he should ever be un- faithful, if he were, I would never forgive him. I know he wouldn’t forgive me if I were. If two people can’t love and trust each other, their marriage is meaningless, and infidelity is the breaking of every vow that was ever made in marriage. “T won't fight to hold any man!” That’s Julia Sanderson’s answer to the thought that has perhaps occurred to almost every woman. What is yours? stood before a microphone and realized that for thousands of miles people every- where were listening—and criticizing. Of course that was the beginning of a new popularity for me. Rudy Vallee, the most famous of all crooners, had chosen little obscure me for his programs. It meant fan letters and people coming to interview me. And because I had made a hit and because Rudy has always said he believed I had dramatic ability as well as a voice, it was he who insisted that George White cast me in his “Scandals” when Fox studio made the movie version. And after that first picture I was cast in several others, including “Now I'll Tell” by Mrs. Arnoid Rothstein. My latest pic- ture is “She Learned About Sailors.” Then I found myself being offered a very nice picture contract. I signed it and stayed in Hollywood over eight months. It seems like the fulfillment of a dream, yet I think it was just plain luck—the right girl in the right place at the right time. That’s the way I like to think of it. Although I sometimes admit to myself, when I am alone and thinking of this wonderful break which came to me through radio, that if I had given up any of the times I felt blue and if I hadn’t hung on for just another moment when I thought things were against me, I’d still be in the chorus instead of the girl on whom so much success has been showered. ; 2

In his youth Prince Dimitri believed all people were equal, and that the land should belong to everybody. Katusha, a peasant servant in his great household, believed him then, and believed in him again when years later he begged for her love. She geve herself, gladly, realizing too late that Dimitri, the man, looked upon her love as something to be purchased, not with kind- ness and affection, but with money. She tried to forget, to wipe out that night of spring, but it was many years after his child had died before she found the tor- menting peace of a forced forgetfulness. He had paid for the love she gave him .. . now she sold her love to every buyer. It was at the end of the road, in court, accused of murder, that the gay Dimitri finally found her again and in finding her remem- bered the days of his youth .. . remembered the tender sweetness of this girl whose scorn and bitterness now followed him into the bright, free world outside. He knew, then, that this was the woman he loved. But was it too late? Could he save her from the horrible living death of Siberia?
