SWITCH to SKITCH

Since June of this year, New York mornings have been brightened by the appearance of the noted pianist-bandleader Skitch Henderson in WNBC's early morning (6-8:30) time spot. Not the usual platter spinner, Skitch jockeys both discs and a Steinway. A painless awakener, Skitch's program offers light commentary, news, time signals, Wwm weather reports and oral and musical Hendersonisms as well as recordings and piano music. His other disc show, Skitch's Scrapbook, features f . records plus his own piano arrangements and, in addi- vi tion, he is heard on WNBC's Prom Date (Saturday, 11:30 A.M.). On TV, Skitch emcees Talent Search, seen Mondays at 10:30 P.M. on WNBT. Born in England, Skitch studied music in London » with the intention of becoming a concert pianist.

In one of his first pictures, the Jimmy Stewart-Henry Ponda sequences of >*^ "A Miracle Can Happen" he wrote the musical background; conducted the score; wrote a song; instructed * ^p Jimmy Stewart in how a band's pianist works; ghosted the piano for Stewart and appeared in the picture as Thirty-one-year-old bandleader Skitch Henderson is the bandleader. now on WNBC as a piano-playing disc jockey.

I think you are quite right in insist- ing, if your family budget will allow it, on improvements for the home as well as for the farm. However, your insistence on these improvements should be made on the basis that they will make for a better way of life for the family—for your husband as well as for you—and that they will allow you to conduct the business of homemaking on a more efficient satisfactory (^^0*^ basis, just as farm improvements have enabled your husband to conduct his business more efficiently. In other words, remember that everything in your marriage belongs, not to one or another, but to both.

ii rr Having a 6 A.M. show means WPEN's Stu Wayne must rise early but

wife Agnes always is on hand to brighten the early morning hours.

Wayne, known to all Philadelphians as the Studisc jockey with the pleasant, easy manner, greets his listeners every morning on WPEN at 6 A.M., and chats informally with his many fans until 9 A.M. Getting up early is not new to Stu because he spent his early life on his father's North Canton, Connecticut, farm. Stu attributes his radio suc- cesses to "Mommy" because it was she who got him started in radio. "You see," says Stu, "after she saw an advertisement for radio talent, she answered in my name and I received an application, auditioned, and got the job. I feel this was all due to 'Mommy's' faith in my ability." After this first announcer's job, Stu went to New York. Several experience-packed years of free-lancing in New York qualified him for staff work, but later he went to Hartford as production manager because he wanted to learn about all phases of radio. His next move, to KYW in Philadelphia, spiraled him to the top in the local radio talent field and, in January of 1950, Stu became a WPEN man. His early morning Stu Wayne Show is slanted toward housewives, children, and shut- ins. He started a "Shut-in Club" which now has over 200 members who constantly receive cheer-up mail and cards from listeners. In addition, Stu often takes celebrities to visit these people. Once a week "Uncle Stu" goes to the Philadelphia Children's Heart Hospital and tapes interviews with the children so that they may say "hello" to their families via his Saturday radio show. Another group to whom "Uncle Stu" caters are his "Tiny Tots." He devotes fifteen minutes daily to these youngsters, one to five years of age, playing music recorded especially for them. "DISC JOCKEY Each Saturday Stu has a half-hour show called Big Tot Time for children from five to ten years of age. At this time the children are permitted to come down to the WPEN studios, with their parents, to see "Uncle Stu," be interviewed by him on the program, and receive little gifts with a HEART" and goodies.

In their country home Stu, Agnes and Tiny, the Toy Bull, are joined by Mom and Pop Wayne and their dog Butch. 12 — AMsmps/Mwm'rrsu

Johnny and Penny Olsen Whenissued a plea for a name for their new home through the pages of Radio Mirror (September, 1950), the response was so over- whelming that the editors had to postpone the announcement of winners for a month in order to give the Olsens — and themselves! — a chance to read through the mammoth mounds of mail that came into the office. Finally, after the last letter was opened and the last name read, Johnny and Penny picked the one suggested by Mrs. Frances E. Troxel of Esterly, Pennsylvania. "Keepsake Cove" is the name Mrs. Troxel suggested and it's the one Do YOU Know About This Grave Womanly Offense? the Olsens liked best.

By TERRY BURTON

s there a Santa Claus?" has been asked by children all over the r world. But I think I heard the most beautiful answer to that age- old question when Mrs. L. V. Doug- las visited us as Family Counselor. Fifty-two years ago, Mrs. Douglas asked the question, "Is there a Santa Claus?" in a letter to the Editor of the New York Sun. She wrote: "Dear Editor: I am eight years old. Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in The Sun, it's so.' Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" signed, Virginia Hanlon, 115 West Ninety-fifth Street, New York City. Today Virginia is Junior Principal of Public School 31, New York City. The answer to her letter, written by Francis P. Church in 1897, has been printed every year by The Sun and here it is: "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the Mrs. Douglas provided the Burtons with one of the most beau- boundless world about him, as meas- ured by the intelligence capable of tiful answers to the age-old query, "Is there a Santa Claus?" grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Every Friday some lucky couple is flown to Gotham by Capitol Airlines. They are given their own hotel suite and for three days they are treated to a quickie vacation with visits to supper clubs, night spots and other attractions in the Big Town. And it's all free. Winners are chosen on the daily Cinderella Weekend programs which are conducted by the district's favorite quizmaster, Stan Norman. On Friday morning the daily winners compete to determine the grand prize winner. Prizes of all kinds are showered on the winners—wearing apparel, jewelry, cosmetics, household articles—with the New York trip and a new traveling suit as the grand prize. What's more, the winner can take her husband, relative or friend with her. GI's have spent belated honeymoons in New York; wedding anniversaries and birthdays have been celebrated there and many winners have used their orize as an opportunity to visit friends and relatives. Cinderella has provided most of them with their first radio prize; their first airplane trip and their first visit to New York. It's a favorite program with women in KDKA-land, one that they all want to take part in. Participants must write in for reservations and reservations have piled up until now the show is booked many weeks ahead.

Lucille Ball's real life favorite

back in the April issue, WayLucille Ball, the sparkling star of the radio comedy, My Favorite Husband, wrote about her favorite husband he's Desi Arnaz, as all Lucille Ball fans know and Lucille's been married to him for ten years. She knows exactly why he is her favorite husband and she told you why in her story. If you remember that story, you'll also remember that Lu- cille and the editors of Radio Mirror invited you to tell who is your favorite husband and why.

he month was November, the year 1933 -when Volume 1, Number 1 of Radio Mirror Magazine Tappeared on the newsstands of America. On the cover was the portrait of a man who had rapidly established himself in the comparatively new medium to which the new magazine was dedicated. Anyone looking at that cover knew immediately who the man was—there was no mistaking those enormous eyes. The man, of course, was Eddie Cantor, who might very well be regarded as a symbol of all those personalities who made the transition from medium to medium—from vaudeville to musical comedy to movies to radio and now, in 1950, to television. It's significant that the majority of the entertainers featured in that first issue of Radio Mirror are delighting the same millions—and many more—today that they were seventeen years ago. In 1933 those millions were concerned with a crisis more terrible than any in their previous experience. Radio Mirror's cover reflected it. In the upper right hand corner was the NRA Eagle with its familiar slogan, We Do Our Part. Inside, the The crooning Crosby in his collegiate pic- new magazine began on a sober note.

One recent Thursday, my telephone rang and a zJAeu wnew eacA omw voice which now is as familiar to millions as it is to me announced, "Fran, it's Jan. I'm homesick for Chicago. May I come out to spend the weekend with you and Archie?" iwwn . . , and wiat wab urna I took a look around me. In plain Aunt Fanny English, the place was a mess—rugs off the floors, furniture out being cleaned. It was pure luck I had Seiche J/mMa and (l/Uie even received the call, for while our near northside carriage house was being renovated, my husband, and a man named c/odwwi Archie Levington, and my mother and I were stay- ing at the home of a friend who was touring Europe. I'd merely stopped in for a few minutes to see how the work was coming along. But all the commotion of redecorating was forgotten in my pleasure at hearing from Janette Davis. I sidestepped a canvas the painters were spreading over the remaining furniture and sat down for a real talk. "Come along," I said, (Continued on page 76)

Distance doesn't mean a thing—not when there are airplanes and the deep kind of friendship that exists between Janette Davis and Fran Allison. The last time Jan visited Fran, Bill Lawrence came along to see the sights of Chicago.

This is how they looked in their near northside days: both were singers and Fran, an occasional daytime serial player.

While the item itself has long been lost in a jungle of filing cabinets, it contributed toward putting a new show on the radio schedule, for the writer was Cedric Adams, who as news commentator at WCCO was rated Minnesota's best known radio personality but was then unknown to the national audience. Godfrey, who also believes there should be two-way communication between listener and broadcaster, recognized a kindred uninhibited spirit. Their correspondence was on. They met face to face a few months later when Cedric ar- ranged for Godfrey to guest star at the Minneapolis Aquaten- nial, an annual Summer celebration offering as entertainment everything from yacht races to gala stage shows. Listeners of each would have liked to have witnessed that meeting, but Cedric who is singularly unimpressed by events in his own life insists there was nothing to it. He reports he said, "Hello, Arthur. Nice of you to come." Godfrey replied, "Hi, Cedric. Nice of you to ask me."

By EDDIE JOY

Eddie first met Mindy when she was a self-conscious bobbysoxer— long way from the poised young singer he first managed, then married.

From bobbysocks to silk stockings, from tomboy to wife —my wife—from a sales job to star billing over NBC: • that is the telescoped story of Mrs. Eddie Joy, nee Mindy Carson. Mindy, at twenty-two, has a radiant smile, beautiful blue eyes and soft brown hair. She was always that way. She has poise and feminine grace. But she wasn't always that way. Certainly not the first time I saw her. "Who's the kid?" I asked. The "kid" wore saddle shoes, a gingham skirt and a wholesome smile. The time was May, 1946. I had been back from the war two weeks, after piloting air force trans- ports over the hump. And I was sitting in the outer office of my father's music publishing company, beginning the process of what was called "the soldier's readjustment." I was in the midst of promoting a new song, "Rumors are Flying," and wondering who I'd use to record the vocal. That was when I saw the girl in bobbysocks. If there was any anxiety in her eyes, I figured she was only worried about a truant officer tagging after her. My father walked over then and said, "Eddie, this is Mindy Carson. She'll be a famous singer one day." From that moment, I looked on her with respect. My father, once a vaudeville star and still a judge of talent, never makes casual observations. Also, I took a better personal look—and saw that this was actually a very attractive young woman. That same day, Mindy made a recording of "Rumors are Flying" so I could play the song for orchestra leaders. In her voice I recognized the qualities critics were to call "hypnotic," "contagious," and "refresh- ing." I wanted to hear more of this "kid" and her amazing talent.

The whole thing started when one of my best friends, Madeleine Pierce, who is also a radio actress, gave me a lovely "Alice" doll Alice in Wonderland had By ALICE FROST always been one of my favorite books.

One of these, Pixie, past fourteen, presents all the joys and problems that occur in any household in which a teen-age daughter lives. She's beginning to feel herself an individual with rights and privileges as such—no longer a child, to be governed by rules and denied what she considers more grown up expe- riences to which she feels she is entitled. She wants to make her own decisions—her own mistakes, if need be.

By CAROL DOUGLAS

—Charm and beauty expert famous for her helpful, practical, easy-to-follow plan for self-improvement, heard on This Is Nora Drake- and other Toni radio and TV programs, and

presented here for the first time in complete, printed form.

Radio Mirror reader Anne Lyon tried this new make-yourself-over method at home. It worked wonders for her—and will for you, too!

Whenfc I first met Mrs. Anne Lyon, a young homemaker from River Edge, New

Jersey, I knew she could easily be transformed into a stunning woman. If you

follow the same beauty routine I outlined for her, you can become a beauty, too!

FOOD I What you eat makes a big difference in how you look and feel. Plan

to include these beauty builders in your diet: Fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs,

green salad, milk, cheese, bread and cereal. Avoid fried foods that tend to

blemish your skin; too many starches, sweets or alcoholic beverages that cause

you to add those extra pounds and unwanted bulges. Don't skip lunch or break-

fast and then try to make up for the lost meal by nibbling candy or cookies.

EXERCISE : To be sure that your figure is perfectly proportioned, you must take time out each day to do corrective exercise. If your particular

problem is your hips, you must concentrate on whittling them away. Whatever

you do, though, don't expect overnight results. Whether you are slimming your

figure, or just remodeling it, only time, exercise and persistent effort will reveal

the difference. You can be exactly what you are willing to make yourself!

POSTURE : If you neglect your posture, all the exercise in the world will never make your figure lovely. A truly graceful and gracious woman is the one

who knows how to enter and leave a room, to sit and stand, and, of course, to

put everyone else at ease by her assurance and manner. You can be such a woman,

if you will always remember to stand tall, walk with smooth, easy strides, and

sit with calm dignity. It's a matter of practice. Why not start today? GIVE YOURSELF—

HAIR: Anne finds side bangs suit her face. A permanent adds

body, makes hair easier to man-

age, can be done right at home.

BATH: Your daily bath serves the double purpose of keeping you fragrantly clean and giving you a few minutes to relax completely. Fill the tub with warm water, add bath salts; then lie quietly before washing. Rub yourself dry with a rough towel and pat on your favorite bath powder.

Carol Douglas is beauty expert for the Toni Company, heard on This Is Nora Drake, M-F 2:30 P.M., EST, CBS, and is beauty consultant for other Toni programs—Give and Take, Sat. 1 :30 P.M., EST, CBS, and Arthur Godfrey and His Friends, 8 P.M., EST, Wed., CBS-TV.

NAILS: A home manicure is a "must" for good grooming. Al- ways be sure polish looks fresh,

and cuticles are neatly trimmed. .

THE COMPLETE CAROL DOUGLAS WAY TO-

COJLOCrrNE : Cologne didn't mean too much in Anne's life before she began

to take her own personal beauty seriously. Now she doesn't feel dressed without it.

A cologne which suits your own personality should be sprayed on before you put on

your dress. Keep it in an atomizer which adds to the beauty of your vanity table.

PERFUME: For those brief DRESS: The basic black dress bJuLOEa : Select footwear to

CLEANING BEFORE MAKE-UP:

Since beauty is more than skin deep, be sure to remove

every last particle of dust and stale make-up before putting

on a new "face." For dry skin, apply a rich cleansing

cream and rinse with warm water. For oily skin, use soap

and water followed by astringent. Apply make-up base.

His smile of approval tells her that she is groomed to perfection. She is radiant with

the self-confidence that comes from knowing she looks her best. Now that Anne has

learned to make the most of her own good looks, an exciting new world awaits her.

You're the one they turn the radio off for, and say, "Let him do something now." So you have to cook up something fast, and good, or you get a quick brush.

There, too, she stood on her own feet, paying for her music lessons by singing on the radio. At seventeen she had her own show on a Shreveport station. From there she moved to

: Cleveland, then to Chicago. Everything she had gained she'd ^earned herself. She had talent, to be sure, but in addition she had the in-

' telligence and common sense to know what to do with that talent. She also had an objective. Each booking was a bit better than the last. Yet ambitious as she was, she also had a warmth and charm which made her a delightful person to see every day. It was I who broke up our foursome. As soon as Archie finished officers' training I rushed out to join him in California, and I stayed with him until it became too complicated keeping up with Army transfers. By the time I returned to Chicago I found things had changed. The daytime serials, which always offered acting roles to supple- ment my singing engagements, were moving out. Other shows too, were going to the two coasts. Performers were worrying whether to go or stay.

For me the decision was ready made, for Archie's business was in Chicago. I picked up my Aunt Fanny role and went on to Breakfast Club. Jan took the opposite course and headed for New York. Just to play safe, she held onto her apartment in Chicago. When Archie returned from the Army, we sublet it. Her New York venture was a gamble, and I was almost as anxious as she. When she phoned to say she had that first solid booking on a sustaining network program, Archie and I celebrated. Since the program was not broadcast in Chicago, we hurried over to WBBM to hear it. We were delighted that Jan, who had worked so hard, was getting the chance she deserved. We were much more excited about that than we were about the first God- frey show. At that time, it, too, was a sustainer—not a sponsor in sight. It makes us doubly happy now that it's built up into such a wonder. Jan felt the same way when Kukla, Fran and Ollie followed suit. Whenever KF&O or Breakfast Club goes into New York, I spend every available moment with Jan. For me, her apartment has been an oasis of quiet—a place where I can take my shoes off and put my hair up. Our reunions, however, haven't all been placid. Take for instance, the time she stopped in Chicago after being home to Shreveport and Pine Bluff. Archie and I returned to our carriage house one afternoon to find a huge heap of roses before our door. Puzzled, we hunted until we found a card which Easy as pressing a button!

Now the only difference between a ^maintenance man and a janitor is that a janitor just purely cleans up a place and a maintenance man has to fix anything that goes wrong from a blown- out fuse to a blown-off roof. My real reason for taking the job was that it was my school and it looked shabby and that's reason enough. I stayed on as school janitor for three years. Happy as could be, too. Then on January 2, 1949—a date I'm not likely ever to forget—I was told that an advance scout for Horace Heidt, name of Jim Rankin, was in Charleston to audition talent. I couldn't for the life of me see what 1 this had to do with me until my friends —and my boss, John Clark—urged me to audition for Rankin. At first I just laughed. They urged some more:

I won the the show that night, too, and the boss wanted me to go to Savannah with him right away, that very night, to be guest star on his local talent contest there. He was offering me a job with his traveling "Parade of Stars" show, he explained, which meant a chance at the radio competition. But I told him no, I couldn't go. I said it was too quick. I told him I'd have to get someone to take over my job as janitor before I could quit. "There are six hundred students there at the school," I said, "I can't walk out on that." I went on to say that if I could make it, I'd meet him in Savannah within the week, and be glad to. If that didn't do, I said, why, thanks kindly just the

same . . . But I went to Savannah bright and early the next morning. They got someone right off to take my job and Mr. Clark, the principal himself, drove me to Savannah in his car. It was the first time I'd ever crossed the line out of my state. I was crossing more than a dividing line between states, though, and I knew it. I was crossing the line that divided my old life from my new life and I prayed I was doing right. It comes to me here that some kids may not know how the Heidt set-up works. I didn't.

(Television—that's a Brownie camera with a five thousand dollar lens!) A lot of actors were waiting for it to blow over. Just a fad, they said. But I loved it from the first. It took me right back to where I started—working to a few people grouped together, expecting to be entertained. Back to the neighborhood parties where they'd asked me to perform. To the folks sitting in their own living room. I felt right at home.

Milton Berle put me on as a guest on his NBC-TV Texaco show in the summer of 1948, and I was interlocutor on the Pick and Pat Minstrel show on ABC-TV. When Berle took an unsched- uled vacation in the middle of the season I got my first big TV job, as substitute emcee. Everybody thought I ought to be scared of taking over where Berle left off, but I was too dumb to worry about it. So they couldn't have Berle, I figured—they had to take me. I didn't try to do what he did, but what I could do, so it worked out. Then DuMont took me, for Cavalcade, for seven weeks that stretched on and on until NBC signed me to a long-term TV contract and my present program, the Jack Carter Show, on Saturdays.

I believe that friendship was one of the most important things that ever happened to him. They seemed such an odd combination—this big, garrulous Irishman and the slender, quiet-spoken Britisher whose tastes were as delicate as Bill's were hearty. It was nevertheless a deep and genuine friendship and lasted until Howard's tragic death a few years ago. Bill met Leslie while working with the Theatre Guild during the middle

Twenties. Bill > had developed an interest in the more cultural aspects of show business. (His "arty" phase I sometimes call it, though I know he was dead serious about it "at the time, and did learn a great deal.)

He and Leslie Howard were doing a play called "Out of the Blue Sky" which, although it wasn't very successful, gave Bill a chance to give his abilities a wider range. Howard told him he had the makings of a really fine actor, and taught him things about the theater Bill never knew. That was the beginning of their friendship, and even though Bill's work with the Guild lasted only a couple of years, Leslie and his wonderful wife Ruth became Sneezin's greetings!
