The Hamburger King ^ ^-\^ of Seattle now rules by radio ^^^^

^\ CHEF" of the DEEJAYS

UNTIL a few years ago, Ernie Propstra was noted in Seattle for his culinary prowess. "The Hamburger King" folks called him. Then one day, in an effort t boost business, Ernie decided to transcribe some radio commercials and put them on a local independent station. It was his first time at a mike, but by no means his last. H. commercials caught on like wildfire, and his hamburgers sold like mad. The rest is \ history to Seattle listeners and Propstra lover^. When he was first asked by Station KJR to do his own disc jockey show, Ernie, being a full-fledged restaurateur, was a bit hesitant. But he was also a collector and lover of phonograph records—so much so, that the idej of being a deejay intrigued him and he accepted the offer. So now, every afternoon Monday through Fridays, from 3:00 to 4:00 P.M., his distinctive voice—deep, sincere, and commanding—can be heard over the airwaves of KJR. After playing his theme song, "Sentimental Journey," Ernie fills hi hour with music, accompanied by subtle

comments about his records and personal . anecdotes about song writers and mu'siciansJ "I go for music with a beat," the Hamburgeis

King confesses. "It's lots of fun playing \ those classics that Benny Goodman, Louis | ' Armstrong, and all those other great artists have been giving us for years. But I throw in an occasional Hit Parader, too—just to keep everybody happy." j| In spite of the fact that Ernie's music jumps'' a bit, his program is strictly on the relaxed side. His warm, friendly voice and "non- professional," easy-going manner add in to t make his show delightful and different. Ernie plans to go right on leading his double life^—in fact, he's making plans now for his third restaurant. As concerns Ernie his deejaying,' Propstra spins his favorite discs—delighting himselt and listen ers. Ernie says, "I see no reason why I can't keep it up as long as the listeners are happy." Happy they are indeed—both Ernie's { listening and eating public—and happiest of! all are his home-front fans, wife Virginia [' 16 and five-year-old daughter Carol.

For this mild, gentle Dial Soap washes away trouble-causing bacteria that other soaps (even the finest) leave on skin. Dial does this because it contains AT-7. known to science as Hexachlorophene. It clears skin of unseen bacteria that so often aggravate and spread surface blemishes.

ivorks in a neiv way! Until Dial came along, there was no way of removing these bacteria safely and effectively. These pictures taken through a micro- scope are proof.

No. 1 shows thousands of bacteria left on the skin after washing with ordinary soap. (So >hen you put on make-up, they are free to cause trouble underneath.) No. 2 shows how daily washing with Dial removes up to 95% of these blemish-spreading bacteria.

and dial is so mild, you'd never guess it gives such benefits. Doctors recommend it for adolescents. With Dial, your skin becomes cleaner and clearer than with any other type of soap. Let Dial protect your complexion all day-even under make-up.

Harry Owens . . . King of the Royal HavN^aiians

WHILE Still in high school in O'Neill, Nebraska, Harry Owens started blowing the trumpet and arranging music. By the time he was graduated, Harry was determined to become a musician, but his parents insisted on a law career, so he enrolled in Loyola University to make the folks happy. Three years later, Harry gave up hopes for a legal career, organized his own band and proceeded to join other young musicians in the quest for fame and fortune ir|| what Harry refers to now as the "starvation circuit." The next few years were spent in towns all over the country, living out of suitcases and bedding down in third-rate hotels. Then, one night—as Harry was playing the last date of an engagement, with no job to look forward to—a man in the audience approached Harry and asked him if he'd like to come to Hawaii and organize a native band to play at one of the island' exclusive hotels. Harry accepted, and from that time on the starvation days were over. Harry and Hawaii seemed to belong together. He made friends with the natives easily, and was able to dig out old Hawaiian folk tunes and use them as material for his arrangements. Harry got to Hawaii in 1934 for what was to be a four-month contract, but in December, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, Harry was still there. During the war he returned to the United States with his Hawaiian group. They made their TV debut in 1949 and that was the beginning of a new following for Harry Ever since, the Harry Owens Show on KNXT in Hollywood has been a must-watch for thousands of fans Besides having the largest collection of Hawaiian music in the United States, Harry has written some famous songs about his favorite island. The one every- KNXT's Harry Owens, who colls Hawaii his second home. one will remember is "Sweet Leilani." Each summer, Harry and his family spend three months in Hawaii, since to the Owenses the lovely island has always meant their luck and life's fulfillment.

Lovely, blue-eyed Cindy Robbins is a girl worth admiring, for, at sixteen, she has come a long way on the road of success. Her talented career began when she was only nine years old. Then, she appeared in 20th Century-Fox's "If I'm Lucky." By the time she was eleven, she had appeared in two more films. She also did a solo in Ken Murray's "Blackouts" at the same ripe age. While attending Glendale Junior High School in California, Cindy was song leader and taught dancing to 165 students. It was after she was made queen of the school's Junior Prom that Cindy's future life with The Big Payoff began. For, last spring, the show made a visit to Holly- wood, and Cindy was one of six girls chosen from thousands to temporarily replace the Eastern models. But Cindy made such a big hit, she was kept on the show permanently and was brought to New York.

In the nxirsery, it's the thoughts of her two growing daughters, Liza, nine, Connie, five—and her new infant son, Duncan Eve Paris. The nursery spawns both sad and happy thoughts for Eve,

RANDY Merriman hung up the telephone in his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Walt Framer, the producer of The Big Payoff, had just finished talking to him. Randy was being asked to be in New York in just eleven days to take over as master of ceremonies for Framer's new show, The Big Payoff.

However, it could have gone to any one of a dozen persons, so he and his wife Evelyn had thought about the possibilities of its coming through only in a vague sort of way. Now, however, the time for decision was here. It meant big-time for Randy. It meant uprooting his home, his three children, and leaving behind memories and relatives and, most important—friends.

By FRANCES KISH

First love was a harmonica. Playing it got Herb into show business—and It was in show business that he found his wife Pixie!

Herb's a sea-going Hoosier, reads about sailboats when he's not out on his own 40'footer. HERB Shrener walks out in front of the Two For The Money TV cameras, sort of dragging his feet as if too embarrassed to face an audience, one hand pulling a little nervously at his ear, a lock of blond hair falling over his eyes as a kind of temporary shield. In a moment, he will be talking, in his easy-going, amusing way, about his neighbors back home in Indiana. A gentle, understanding kind of humor, never barbed or caustic, based upon his observations of human nature. Humor based upon things he began noticing as a boy, growing up in Fort Wayne, or while spending his vacations hanging aroimd his grandfather's general store in Tipton, Michigan. The Herb Shriner of today is still a country boy, although he lives in, a New York apartment, opposite Central Park. "Sure had to find one near the Park," he says, "to keep the city from stifling me." He is stUl easy-going, too, letting his wife, Pixie, worry with such matters as budgets and bookkeeping, because, "She's better at these things than I am. Besides she likes to

And his voice trails off a little mournfiilly as he reviews the success that keeps him from being too casual about living. Herb and Pixie have moved—^bag and baggage, fur- nishings and masses of miscellaneous paraphernalia three times since they were married on December 20, EASY 1949. At the time of their wedding, Pixie was the Joy half of the dance team of Olsen and Joy. (Her real name was Eileen McDermott, but only her mother DOES still calls her Eileen. She's small, red-headed, cute and pixie-ish.) "You might say it was sort of a blind-type date that IT! brought lis together," Herb tells about it. "I was doing a radio show, and some friends brought Pixie to the broadcast. About three years later, we got married. I liked her, but I was on the road a lot—^night-club dates and vaudeville—and Pixie was working, too, so we didn't get much chance to see each other. We sort of corresponded." They were married in Maryland, near Washington, D. C, where Pixie was working that week. It was a double wedding, in which a couple of friends joined them. Pixie had' to finish up her tour in Boston. Herb went back to New York, where he was preparing a new TV show and weeding out closets in his small apartment, to make room for Pixie's things. Very soon, however, it became apparent that his collections of

And his voice trails off a little mournfully as he reviews the success that keeps him from being too casual about living. Herb and Pixie have moved—bag and baggage, fur- nishings and masses of miscellaneous paraphernalia- EASY three times since they were married on December 20, 1949. At the time of their wedding, Pixie was the Joy half of the dance team of Olsen and Joy. (Her DOES real name was Eileen McDermott, but only her mother still calls her Eileen. She's small, red-headed, cute and pixie-ish.) IT! "You might say it was sort of a blind-type date that brought us together," Herb tells about it. "I was doing a radio show, and some friends brought Pixie to the broadcast. About three years later, we got married. I liked her, but I was on the road a lot—night-club dates and vaudeville—and Pixie was working, too, so we didn't get much chance to see each other. We sort of corresponded." They were married in Maryland, near Washington, D. C, where Pixie was working that week. It was a double wedding, in which a couple of friends joined them. Pixie had to finish up her tour in Boston. Herb went back to New York, where he was preparing a new TV show and weeding out closets in his small apartment, to make room for Pixie's things. Very soon, however, it became apparent that his collections of

A NNE Seymour, frequent star on Armstrong's Theatre 2^ Of Today and Circle Theatre, was riding the commuters' train from her home in Greenwich, Connecticut, to New York City when a miracle happened. It was the year 1948. Things had been in a state of transition for Anne after successfully attaining stardom on the air for some twenty years, she had decided to subsidize herself in a new way of life. She had given up acting", except in a minimum way, to devote herself to writing. At the time of this particular trip, Anne had written three unproduced plays. But this wasn't all that was bothering her on the train. "Writing is such lonesome work," Anne describes the days just preceding this eventful trip. "I'd always been used to having people around me—the casts I played with on Mary Marlm, the director, producer, musicians, technicians—interesting, stimulating people. And suddenly there were no people, not one. {Continued on page 97)

Once upon a time, Como (lower left) was just a vocalist for Ted Weems (center, with child singer Mary Lee)

THREE HOURS before the show, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the kids are lined up at the stage door, waiting for him. He comes along finally, no tie, open shirt, whistling. He signs all the autograph books, pulls a pigtail, makes a joke, goes into the building, ready for work. During rehearsal, it's murder. The kids are all sitting in air-conditioned ecstasy, and every time he opens his mouth—to sing a note, speak a word, or ask Lee Cooley (the producer) for a cigarette—they howl joyfuUy. It's as though you were back in Sinatra's heyd&y, as the moaning, screeching and cheering provide an hysterical CRAZY counterpoint to Mitch Ayres' orchestral background. Before he goes on the air. Perry makes a little speech. "Scream now, if you want to scream, kids. But please don't holler during the show. My mother doesn't understand about these things; she'U think I'm doing something wrong." It's a little bit of an overstatement, that last. His mother could never think he was doing something wrong.

His family had the things you couldn't buy. Even today, Lucia Como can't accept the idea of large amoiuits of cash.

61 THE GUIDING LIGHT

f How can a marriage

succeed— unless it is

based on the kind of

love Joe and Meta

have for each other?

1 Meta Bauer Roberts listens sympathetically as her sister-in-law,

Bert, tells Papa Bauer that her marriage to his son Bill is breaking up because of drink—and his need for another woman's encouragement

JOE AND Meta Roberts are mature, understanding persons who can never be lost to each other, but who find their strength is sought and needed by those too puzzled, too confused, to carry on without help. There is between Joe and Meta a love, an understanding and a companionship, which every man and woman seek in marriage. Therefore, it is only natural that two persons, bewUdered by life's blows, should seek their aid and their comforting influence. Bert Bauer, with her marriage to Bill going on the rocks, turns to her sister-in-law, Meta, for wisdom and guid- ance. The ugly roots of marital discord go far below the surface with Bill and Bert. . . . Bill's failure as an advertising man, his in- creasing tendency to lose himself in alcohol, his insistence that tomorrow—always tomorrow—will bring a better day for himself,, for his wife and his child Michael, drive Bert to seek outside aid. Sick at heart over the events that have led to Bert's unhappiness, Meta can

2 Rev. Dr. Keeler hears Bert's story, too—but Bert doesn't really want advice. She has already decided to leave Bill and take their son Michael with her, believing it best for them all.

See Next Page only suggest that Bert do everything in her power to hold her marriage together, until such a time as she feels Michael's future wiU THE GUIDING LIGHT be affected. When it comes to the child, here Meta knows Bert would do everything to

protect him. . . . Meta's heart aches, as the weeks pass, for she sees that Bert is a woman who is still in love with her husband, but who feels there is nothing she can do—^that, for Michael's sake, it's best that Bert take him and go to live with her mother and father. This, Bert hopes, will give Bill time to prove to himself that he has the strength ' to solve his own problems. Bill's reaction to Bert's leaving him is heart-rending. He strikes out against her—the woman he loves. Stand- ing at the foot of his child's bed the night before Bert leaves. Bill takes a solemn oath: "You're not going to be ashamed of me. I'm going to amount to something, you just wait and See. You're going to be proud of your old man, you're going to be really proud."

It is the speech of a really broken man. . . . In her own home Meta tries to keep the guiding light of her love for Joe burning ever brighter—for her stepdaughter Kathy needs its reassuring warmth against the troubles that have beset her own marriage. Kathy has been through a prolonged period of de- pression, following the birth of little Robin, and her husband Dick—^with all his understanding and patience—finds himself more and more pushed out of her life. In further- ing his career, Dick is given the opportunity of being a resident doctor at the hospital, and Kathy insists that he accept the position, although it will mean that he wiU have little time to be with her and with the new baby

daughter. . . . Dick, at first, willingly believes

4 Bill is really a broken man, drowning his dreams of success in drink—turning desperately to others for the strength he had found in Bert.

3 Bill's reaction to his wife's departure is defiant but pitiful. He swears to his boy: "You're going to be proud of your old nnan—just wait and see!"

64 5 In these dark days, the abiding love of Joe and Me+a Roberts for each other shines put like a guiding light to what marriage should really be. Only a faith such as theirs could survive the strains and misunderstandings caused by Kathy Roberts Grant, Joe's married daughter.

See Next Pa^e that Kathy has only his interest at heart. THE GUIDING LIGHT But, as time goes on, he sees his wife becoming more and more absorbed by the needs of her child, and he becomes more and more excluded from her life. At the hospital, Dick finds in supervisor Janet Johnson the sym- pathy, companionship and womanly interest which Kathy defties him. As Meta watches, giving comfort where she can, giving knowledge when she thinks it might be most acceptable, Kathy begins more and more to realize that the only way to make her marriage work is to tell Dick the truth about

(Continued from page 39) only until something else can be built up to take their place." Twenty-four years ago, our modern methods of combating polio were unknown. Unlike children of today, when Paul re- covered he had to face a future in which there was little hope that he would ever grow up to be a strong boy who could walk normally. Life in the Winchell family was fun, however, and self-pity was definitely not encouraged. They were poor in money, but rich in many other things. They knew how to laugh together. Paul's father, a tailor, made the three children little fancy costumes and they all played at being entertainers. They told jokes and they sang, and life went on as it had be- you fore Paul's illness.

Besides his ventriloquism, he had discovered a gift for mimicry and for acting. He had found ways, too, to keep audiences from noticing his limp. He would come running out on a stage to do his act, with a gait he practiced many, many times in secret, a gait that left an audience not sure he wasn't deliberately walking that way, if they noticed at all. The m.omentum of the run would help him to swing his short leg up on a chair or stool so he could hold Jerry on his knee. But with a look he was still a scrawny youngster, frame much less developed than other boys of his age. A musician named Ray Heath got him interested in weight-lifting. Eager to help himself, Paul kept at it over a period of Lovable years, and gradually he not only built up the rest of his body muscles but the ones in his weakened, shortened leg. He learned to dance and to swim, to play tennis and golf, and lately he has taken to boxing. By the time he got married, in his early twen- ties, no one would have guessed the long struggle to build himself up from a frail child to a normal, healthy young man. Through the years he had never forgotten that Eddie Cantor did a Christmas show for the children in the polio ward when he was lying ill. "It came back to me many times—the laughter, the relief at forgetting pain for a while, the lift it gave all of us kids. I resolved that, if ever I could, I would do things like that." This is why Paul and Jerry are to be found in hospital wards for children on an average of once a week—in New York, on tour, even when Paul is on vacation. He thinks of his own little girl, Stephanie, now just a year older than he was when he was stricken, and is grateful for her good health. He thinks of the child soon to come, about the time you will be reading this, and how he and Dorothy pray that this child, too, wUl be spared pain. But both know that pain and trouble do sometimes strike, aind that everyone, including the person stricken, must learn to look for the compensating blessing. A recent experience with a young boy has pointed this up for Paul. After a show in a ward, a thirteen-year-old asked to see him. Paul sent everyone else away and they had a man-to-man talk—the boy in the wheelchair, who couldn't keep back his tears, and Paul cind Jerry. The boy was practicing ventriloquism, but felt hopeless about doing anything with it because of the chair to which he was confined. Paul showed how it could be made a part of the act—an attendant could be dressed up to wheel him out, or the chair could be camouflaged to seem like part of the props. He thought the young patient was in a better frame of mind. "But you don't understand," the boy began, his Up quiver- ing again. "You're not crippled. You don't know how hard it is."

44Banish Fear From Your Life ??

(Continued from page 53) Not even the sound of a human voice. At my desk alone, I had sort of an eerie feeling. And then fear. Fear had been with me all my life, but now it seemed to me that it was a living, terrifying thing.

Maybe . . . maybe I'll never work again, I'd think to myself. I'd be afraid, terrified I'd never act again, never be able to write. GIVE YOUR EYES "At this low ebb, I took the train. I was testing for a part in the Warner Brothers film, "All the King's Men,' and I hadn't heard the results of the test—that made me feel that I wasn't going to get the part. I was on my way to do a radio program the first in many months, and it seemed to me that the train was going to be late. Be- ing a veteran, I knew I couldn't be late. But tKe train that morning was slow. It From out of the "ordinary". . . into jerked. It poked. It had spasms. Then it radiant new loveliness. That's what stopped dead in its tracks.
