One of the real old pioneers of Radio. You would almost expect his hair to be white. Few announcers have been on the air for seven years. He began his work at WBAP, Fort Worth, at the famous Texas station, and used to thrill his listeners with romantic tales of cowboys. Now that he is directing KTHS he has given up his cowboy ways and leads a quiet Radio existence. This may be due to Mrs. Arnoux. Arnoux, Natalie, Violinist. Played the first note of music sent out over the station way back in the fall of 1924. She plays fortnightly on Friday evenings, and in between times directs her director husband.

Mr. Barnes was interested in motion picture productions before he went to war and only studied voice accidentally. When he came back from France, he produced "A Buck on Leave," which was very popular and which toured the United States. He tried to get big producers interested in it for the motion pictures but it was too soon after the war. As director and announcer of WHT he has won a large following.

He even announces market reports in a droll way.* Barnet, Jack, Program Director of KEX, Portland, is an old hand at the radio game.
