'CHECK COLOR DESIRED o BLACK BROWN BLUE NAME ADDRESS /CITY STATE 6 RADIO MIRROR Behind Closed Doors it's thrilling to see your skin grow IWAS talking the other day to a radio script writer who was beating his head against the wall about the strange ways of censorship. One inside instance he offered had me beating my head too. In the Helen Hayes serial, the script called for Ilelen's discovering that she was to have a baby. The sponsor objected. It wasn't, he said, nice to have that happen over the air. So the battle began. No one but the sponsor knows whether Helen will or won't.

THE day this issue of RADIO MIRROR went to press the officials of the agency handling the Leslie Howard show held a conference to decide whether or not to keep the famous stage and moving picture star on the air. The story of The Amateur Gentleman had just come to an end. For several weeks I had known that the sponsors felt the program wasn't succeeding in selling their product to women listeners as fast as had been expected. Later in the afternoon of that same day I received a telephone call with the definite news that a new continued script would be prepared, and Howard would continue on the air. In an aside, I also heard that there was talk of having Howard make love to a new leading lady every week. By the time you read this, you'll know and I'll know just how much truth there was in that report. All 1 can do now is hope the sponsors and the agency change their minds about making Leslie divide his radio affections. IMAGINE complaining because you have to listen to a Metropolitan opera star, and one of the most famous personalities on the air, sing! That's exactly 1 what Lawrence Tibbett's neighbors did.

Kills germs in the throat Listerine attacks the germs associated with colds and sore throat. Almost immediately after gargling it kills literally millions of them in throat and mouth, before they have a chance to enter the body. Scientific tests in 1930 -31, 1931 -32 and 1934 have shown this comforting result: that those who gargled with Listerine twice a day or oftener caught fewer colds than non- garglers. Moreover, when Listerine users did catch cold, their colds were milder and of shorter duration than those of non -users. At the first sign of a cold Start using Listerine today.

a tip from Frank Parker. He's learned TAKEhis lesson, and made a resolution. No more work without play. And it isn't one of those resolutions made on a bleak New Year's morning after. Frank's been trying the idea back of it for several months, and he knows just what he's doing when he issues his less -work ultimatum. It wasn't long ago that Frank was the busiest tenor in radio. If you missed one of his programs, there was always another one just around the next time signal. He never turned down a chante to work. Now you hear him just once a week, on the Atlantic Family, over the Columbia network every Saturday evening. And, Frank says, that's all you're likely to hear him, except for a eery occasional guest appearance. But let Frank tell you the whole story. He's learned a lesson that you - and you and you -should learn, too. "I used to think I had to work every waking minute. I thought I had to rush from one program to another, and cash in on my popularity quickly. You get to thinking, in radio or the stage, that you should crowd a lifetime of work into a few frantic years, then sit back and have a good time with your earnings. "Then it occurred to me that was exactly what a lot of people had been doing before the depression- rushing around like mad, working themselves into a nervous breakdown. And what good had it done them when the hottom dropped out of things? A big hank -roll was no assurance of safety. "I realized that I was burning up the hest years of my life, uselessly.

RELIVE ALL THE EXCITEMENT AND

GLAMOR OF A PRESIDENTIAL TRIP

IN THIS VIVID BACKSTAGE STORY

YOU pick up your newspaper and read that tomorrow morning the President is due to arrive in Fremont, Nebraska, to address an audience of farmers. You resolve to tune in this speech, knowing that by means of your radio you figuratively can go with the nation's Chief Executive on each of his dashes from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. And you might guess that with you on this trip would be radio representatives, newspaper correspondents, and newsreel photographers, all intent on one job -to bring to a curious nation every vivid detail of the stops, the speeches. the crowds. My share in Mr. Roosevelt's latest trip -the one which carried him from Washington, down across the southern tip of the United States to San Diego, out into the Pacific- was to see that every scheduled broadcast of his actually will be broadcast, look for this speaking stand I've men- reached the millions of waiting listeners and to introduce tioned.

EXACTLY what happens when you walk off the winner of one of the biggest talent contests radio has ever staged? How much fame and glory and fortune are yours? And how much heartbreak? Jane Williams has all the answers. And in those answers she has a story to tell to all the young hopefuls who would leave jobs in quest of a pot of gold, all the steno- graphers, waitresses, bank clerks who dream of radio at the rainbow's end. l'oday Jane co -stars with Phil Duey on Wednesday evening's Life Saver program over NBC. Fame, glory, and fortune are within her grasp because neither slights nor rebuffs nor disillusionment could lick her. They are not hers because she won first place a little more than a year ago in the coast -to- coast Hollywood Hotel contest to find a girl who could sing opposite Dick Powell. It is this seeming paradox that holds the key to Jane's present success and which makes her story a vital one to every person with radio ambitions. Late in the summer of 1934, seven girls were brought to New York -all of them fi- nalists in their sections -to compete for an award which would give the winner a cash and turn away. It all seemed like an enchanting dream. prize and a contract to sing on -the new, expensive, much "It's easy now for me to see where I made my first mis- ballyhooed Hollywood Hotel hour. take," Jane freely admits.

It was, although Paul Douglass, one of the ace announcers on the Columbia staff, almost had his ears knocked off while doing the job. Douglass, with an engineer, was setting up his equipment in the huge arena and keeping close tabs on the movements of the cheering Socialists when the great doors broke open and 5,000 wild -eyed Communists poured in, determined to break up the meeting. The cheering gave way to yelling, the smack of the chairman's gavel to the crack of heads and the crash of bodies against the rows of chairs. Paul, his own eyes wide with excitement, went into action describing the scene. The battle surged about him as the police joined in; and though at one point he received a dizzying blow from a club, and at another he and the engineer had to do some lusty swinging themselves to protect their microphones, he finished the job all in one piece.

A STRANGE FRIENDSHIP LED TO THIS STAR'S RECENT MARRIAGE 41 THE INSIDE STORY OF WIRED hABlO

OU'VE heard about it, talked about, maybe even Y read about it, but not until now have all the facts hidden by clouds of speculation and uncertainty been revealed. So, with the help of crossed fingers and a white beard, we're about to tell for the first time the whole story of broadcasting's latest trend -wired radio. It's exciting, different, and it may soon usher in a whole new era in airwaves entertainment. It's -but you probably won't believe that it's possible for the plan to work, until you hear all the details. Wired radio, in brief, is the following: for a certain monthly sum, you will have on tap in your home eighteen hours a day a continuous flow of three types of music of which you take your choice. It will come through a brand new loudspeaker and at no time will it be interrupted by announcements of any kind. No introductions, no advertisements, no identifications. That, my friends, is wired radio. Practical? In Cleveland, Ohio, a goodly portion of that fair city already has been equipped with the necessary apparatus and for some time music, whole and true, has been flooding steadily into these homes, and two of the country's largest businesses are connected with this vast enterprise -the telephone companies and the electric light companies. What artists will you hear? Imagine, if you will, loll- ing back in your easy chair of a cold winter's evening and hearing in succession the music of Ray Noble, Hal Kemp, Andre Kostelanetz, Glen Gray, !sham Jones, Johnny Green, Leon Belasco, Fats Waller, Louis Prima, Willard Robison, .Joe Venuti, and Emil Coleman. To this evening's entertainment there would be but one drawback -you'd have to guess whose band each one was. No identifying announcement would be made. And what is the catch? This: it's up to you, the listening public, whether such a scheme of broadcasting

She went to the vaudeville management and asked to be relieved of her Chicago engage- qiettc67/ ment. They laughed at her. "Surely," they said, "anyone who's been in show business all her life, like you, knows that is impossible." Blanche did know it. But something that had nothing to do with reason, something pressing and urgent and frantic, impelled her. And at last she managed an appointment with the manager of the theater where she was killed to appear. "I f you'll relieve me of this engagement now," she promised him, "I'll come back later on and play a week for nothing." It may have been her urgent voice, it may have been the blue of her eyes, or it may have been her yellow hair-it's hard to tell what makes hard -boiled business men kick over the traces and turn senti- mental, sometimes-but he told her to go ahead and to come back and play for him whenever she could. It was when "The Party's Over" went into rehearsal that Blanche and Raymond Hackett tack up the friendship begun that rainy Sunday years before. "Hello," she greeted him when they met in the big rehearsal hall. "Imagine seeing you here!" And he grinned and said, "This is going to be nicer than I'd counted on."

THEY were as casual as you please. And it's just as well perhaps that they were casual while they could be. For it wasn't long before the one who got to that rehearsal hall first began to stand around a little tense and nervous waiting for the other to arrive. Raymond began showing Blanche bits of technique. glad to help her feel her way back into the theater. The play opened in Philadelphia. "All my life," said Blanche, "I've heard a lot about baseball.

(Continued Iron: page 14) Down in the West Virginia mountains is a little hamlet to which Mrs. Ted Weems has been Santa Claus for many years. Back in the days when she was Eleanor Logan, long before she married Ted Weems, adopted an infant son and set up housekeeping in Chicago's Jackson Park district, she happened into the hamlet to discover that Christmas and Santa Claus were simply words to the local kids. True, there was a general store in the town. But life, being a serious and often desperate matter there, that store offered only the essentials. No toys were on sale and the children had only home -made ones with which to play. So Mrs. Weems took over the job of Santa Claus. Every year since then she has sent down to that little mountain hamlet a huge box of toys and candies and always big heavy sweat- ers for every one of the children. As they grow up and marry she takes them off her list but adds their children. And so it went for many years. Came the day when the Weems were in straitened circumstances. That big box cost them plenty of money every Christ- mas. And during that bad summer Elea- nor almost decided to give up the practice. Then for the first time she took Ted down to see the kids. It was a scorching A summer day. But despite the sizzling heat BLONDE pOWpE every kid in the town showed up wearing R. the heavy sweater Eleanor had sent him the Christmas before.

Fortified with his diploma from the art school, and the thought of his dollars already invested, Nelson hied himself to why my mama's the boss' office, and asked to take over a job in the art department. He got it, and became an art director. He had figured he would be very happy, once he had achieved the goal of an art so smart? job. But something had happened to spoil his triumph. That something was Nelson's voice. It had begun to happen in a great big way, and Nelson was rapidly discovering that he would rather sing than eat. He also found that he could employ his singing as a means to eating if he wanted to. He had already been paid twenty -five dollars several different times to sing at the Ladies' Aid Society, and at church festivals. Nelson began to meet other singers, and pestered them to death with questions on how they learned, what they learned, and in general, how to do it! He read all sorts of books about singers and actors, and finally he met and made friends with a singing teacher. At a cut rate, Nelson began taking lessons.

BUT he was not satisfied that he was learning all there was to know. Al- ways on the look -out for the perfect method, he saw the advertisement of a singing school which offered lessons by mail. The course promised to reveal to him the various methods and techniques which had been used by the great singers of all times. It also promised to teach him anatomy, something Nelson felt would be especially important.

Rubinoff Talks Back! (Continued front page 23)

he opened his mouth, he made things worse for himself. Eddie's insults to Be sure Rubinoff became almost a national institution, and nearly as controversial an institution as prohibition. Rubinoff fans began writing to to complain and suggest defamation of char- the take that he sue Eddie for laxativelOU acter. Maybe they're right, at that,' Eddie said after a while. 'Maybe I'm making enemies for the program by kidding you is Huai/enough this way:" So Eddie stopped making nasty cracks at Rubinoff, confining his activities to his regular stooges, and leaving Rubinoff to play his violin and lead his orchestra. `Vhereupon the protests poured in faster for even a little child than ever. The fans, it seemed, liked the baiting and wanted more of it. Bowing to the demand, Cantor went at it again, hammer and tongs. And one day Rubinoff awoke to the realization that he, who had started the Chase and Sanborn hour, was now playing the part of a stooge who could also play the violin. It was the Minneapolis irony, all over again, only this time he was juggling words instead of his violin.

he had done in Minneapolis, he said AS nothing, just smiled and went ahead with his job as it %vas laid out for him. After all, he was playing music too. The trouble was that his opportunities were so limited. The people who tuned in on Eddie's program, probably wanted to laugh, and listen to music incidentally; accordingly the comedy part of the show always out- weighed the musical part. Besides. he and Eddie were good friends. They admired each other as artists and liked each other personally. Both were wrapped up in the success of their show. Rubinoff didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize either the friendship or the program. Their association lasted for three years and through a change of sponsors. Then, last summer, Rubinoff made up his mind. "I thought about it a good deal," he said. "You hesitate a long time when you've been working with somebody for three years.
