WJAS listeners are

shouting for joy because

They're just wild about Barry

Radio fans who had heard him in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Miami wasted no time in spreading the good word. They clamored loud and long about the young deejay with the rapid-fire delivery, the string of comic voice-characters, and the handy, happy way with the best in recordings. Thus, it wasn't so surprising that, a year ago, when Barry Kaye launched his new show in Studio C of Pittsburgh's Station WJAS, some 2,000 teenagers were on hand to roar their welcome. And since that happy day, more than 25,000 visitors have come to watch their dark- haired, well-groomed idol spin records, interview celebrities and. in general, offer worthwhile entertainment and advice. Eighty-one Barry Kaye fan clubs with over 10,000 members in the Tri-State area are further proof positive of Mr. K's winning ways. Members of the Coke crowd are not the only ones who are wild about Barry. The Barry Kaye Show is a triple treat, starting at 2:30 P.M. with an hour of deejaying for the general radio audience, Time to share with fiancee Eleanor Schano going on to the "Teen Canteen" segment from 4 to 5, then continuing until 7: 30 with special attention given to the automobile is always a catch-as-catch-can proposition. audience, working girls—kitchen or office—and family listeners. Barry was still a teenager when he joined the working world as a play-by-play announcer of table-tennis tournaments around the country. Later, he played bit parts in the movies and on Broadway, before becoming a full-fledged disc jockey in New York. "When I was a teenager," Barry tells youngsters, "I left school to go to work. I don't want any of you to make the same mistake." This sermonette has a special significance because, while in the Army, Barry made up enough high school credits to win his diploma and, incidentally, to score some of the highest marks ever achieved in Army extension courses. Because he is endowed with endless energy, Barry finds himself in constant demand for teen-age "record hops" sponsored by schools, churches and other organizations. About the only person who isn't delighted about all the time he spends with and for others is his lovely fiancee, Eleanor Schano, who must accompany Barry on personal appearances in order to receive any attention from him!

H An "old pro" at twenty-five, Barry was voted one of the top M twelve disc jockeys in the country by a national magazine. To Popular Madame LaZonga usually plays WJAS listeners, this choice was only natural, for they've second fiddle to Penny, Barry's "best friend." always thought their Barry was the best yet. 12 BRUSHES OUT INSTANTLY spray net' A few brush strokes and tyL@fii every trace of spray net is keeps your hair in place softly, softly . . . without ever gone.

ONE of radio's first audience-participation programs, Truth Or Consequences, is now on television, over NBC Tuesday nights in the time spot formerly held by the Fred Allen show, Judge For Yourself. The half- hour of gags and gimmicks is emceed by Jack Bailey, best known for his Queen For A Day show and as the voice of "Goofy" in the Walt Disney cartoons. Another long-time radio favorite, Inner Sanctum, has also become a television program, set up as a thirty- nine- week film series. The majority of the talent names who appear on the shows are from the legitimate stage —Ernest Truex, Beatrice Straight, Paul Stewart, Mildred Dunnock. Everett Sloane, Margaret Phillips, and others. Inner Sanctum is being syn- dicated by NBC's Film Division to local stations around the country. Remember The Adventures Of The popular Falcon, which was a very , radio show on the Mutual network a' few years ago? It, too, has gone TV, and is being distributed locally for thirty-nine weeks by NBC. The dramas were filmed in Hollywood, Heavenly strains: The poems of Francis Cardinal Spellman have been set to music, and Eddie Fisher has recorded them for RCA Vic+or.

Every dog has his day. but this dog has his Knight." puns Bernard, a lovable, mischievous plush dog who claims he feels like a real dog. even though people insist upon calling him a puppet. Bernard is the best friend of the man who provides him with voice and movement—young, imaginative Ted Knight—and he is also the star of Children's Theater, seen Mondays. Thursdays and Fridays, via WJAR-TV in Providence, from 5:15 to 5:30 P.M. Friendly, versatile Ted Knight delights the young in years and the young in heart—with a whole cast of lively puppets.

Ted Knight (not the puppets) was the youngest of a family of seven. It wasn't until after his discharge from the Army that he got under way with his acting career. For three years, he studied at the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford, at the same time gaining experience as a part-time disc jockey and announcer at several Hartford stations. His first full-time job in radio and TV was as a deejay, announcer, singer and pantomimist for a Southern station. Then New York beckoned and Ted went to study at the American Theater Wing and. in order to "pay the rent," acted in many top radio and TV shows such as Our Gal Sunday. Lux Video Theater and Suspense. A little over a year ago. Ted came to WJAR-TV for his first assignment—a cooking show. Then followed vocal gymnastics on Riddle Skits. Milkman's Movies and. finally, last fall, his own wonderful creation. Children's Theater. Ted and his wife Dottie. a former ballerina, have been married for five years and they now share their cozy apartment with two very real cats, Cleo and Tuffy—plus Bernard, of course. Someday, the Knights hope to own a ranch house where there'll be room for more pets. Bernard says he won't mind if there's a real dog, because he knows he'll "still be treated as the star."' 16 "Yes, I use Lustre-Creme Shampoo," says Debra Paget.

a day in the

Shortly after the morning sun sends its first rays over New York's skyscrapers, two of the sleepiest heads in show business—Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding—can be found wending their way to the studios of Station WINS for their daily 6:30 to 10: 00 A.M. bout with the mike. For Bob, it has been a mere thirty-eight footsteps from the hotel where he resides. But, for Ray, the trek has been longer and harder, for he has had to beat his way past his wife Liz and their three offspring—Ray Jr., Tommy and Barbara—and cover the miles between Long Island's North Shore and the city. The first thing that greets the boys when they arrive—unshaven, in wrinkled suits (cleaning up comes later), and coffee containers in tow—is a long table equipped with a mike and an assortment of music lists, weather reports and commercials.

Scripts? Rehearsals? Never! Well . . . they do Bob and Ray are aided on their TV show by beautiful Marion discuss a rough outline for the daily episode of their Brash, who figures importantly in many of their daily dramas. latest "daytime drama"—which takes about five minutes. Then follow three and a half hours of preposterous ad-libbing and devil-may-care antics, after which the boys admit they're a bit fatigued. So, if there is no mail to answer, no sponsors to confer with, no TV scripts to be discussed, or any other emergency, they try to get a little shut-eye before reporting at 4: 30 P.M. at the WABC -TV studios and preparing for their 6:45 to 7:00 P.M. show. TV, naturally, demands a little more preparation, so Bob and Ray have a writer Earle Doud—who greets them, script in hand, ready to accept any new or zany ideas. Once their nightly TV stint is a rollicking quarter-hour of the past, the boys are on their own at last. Bob says his favorite pastime is catching up on the week's sleep. Or he may pursue his hobby as an amateur painter. Ray retires to his family-filled home where, if the kids will leave him alone long enough, he likes to dabble in photography. Both boys enjoy golf and get to see movies and plays "as often as anybody else." Friday, say the boys, is their "killer day," when their morning marathon precedes two and a At the mike, neither one knows what the other is going to do half hours of transcribing their Saturday show or say next, but the results are guaranteed to be hilarious. —which means a stretch of six hours of solid chatter. One of the most frequent questions Bob and Ray are asked is: "Do people really believe those offers you make?" "The answer, truthfully," says Bob, "is no." So their "overstocked warehouse" remains overstocked—except when they make offers for such items as getaway cars and home-wrecking kits but then, says Bob, the response is "in the spirit of the thing." Another popular query is who plays what parts on the radio show. Ray plays Mary McGoon, Webbly Webster and Steve Bosco, and Bob takes the parts of Tex, Wally Ballou and Arthur Sturdley. Whenever an imaginary guest pops up, either one of them steps into the role "as we feel it." Both boys feel that not knowing what the other one is going to come up with adds spontaneity. No amount of description can really do Bob and Ray justice, and the best way to know them is to hear and see them for yourself. For, behind those "ordinary" names, lies a wealth of extraordinary talent. 24 life of BOB and RAY

In addition to her singing, Anne Lee's programs feature food and fashion hints, recordings and interviews with guest celebrities. The variety of her program reflects Anne Lee's own variety of interests. The ranch-style home she shares with her parents overlooks the water and is close to the scene of her favorite hobby sailing. Anne Lee has become an expert at handling the family's Chris Craft and is equally handy with a skillet. Another of her favorite pastimes is experimenting with patterns and designs in making many of her own clothes. Beneath her bright smile and friendly manner lies a serious nature, for Anne Lee once suffered from polio. Looking back on this experience, she says, "This, I believe, taught me to be careful not to hurt others. It also taught me that nothing is impossible if you have the will and the faith, and want it badly enough." For her own future, Anne Lee wants "to do well at my present job, to enjoy each day, to someday marry and have a home and children, and to have my share of life's good things." She has "no particular romantic interest," but adds that "when I do decide to settle down, it will be the way it is in books for better, or for worse, for richer, for poorer, and, most of all, forever." Anne Lee also displays this thoughtful attitude on her program when she closes it with a "thought for the day" such as: "The world stands aside to let any man by who knows where he's going." A queen of beauty and charm, Anne Lee is a lass who knows where she's going and has all Anne Lee soys she chose the name Boots for her pet her Virginia neighbors standing by to cheer her "because he has white fur on his feet like boots." on her way.

We ask the audience to send in a letter saying why they'd like to win Kirby, all theirs, for a whole weekend. And to the winner, we deliver Kirby by bonded messenger. Hey?" One of my friends on the staff, possibly Ken Carson, said in an awed voice, "You wouldn't do that—would you?" Everyone else, including me, was too thunderstruck to speak. Garry gave me an impish, challenging grin. "Would you be game, Bud?" he asked. What could I do? I shrugged. "Sure." And, so help me, Garry ran this incredible contest, got fifteen thousand letters in reply, and gave me to one Mrs. Robert Morse for a weekend in Cleveland, Ohio. Bear in mind that I am a married man, with two children and with certain obligations to home and hearth. When the word got around in the TV business about the contest, everyone started talking to me about it. They stopped me on the street—actors, actresses, producers, writers and directors—and they all asked the same question: "You're not really going to do it, are you?"

Your night-club routines are not a fast enough form of entertainment for television!" But I believed that, if my piano brought enjoyment to those who came to see me in the clubs and on the stage, then I could bring entertainment to them in their homes. I have always wanted to be a pianist. More- over, I've always wanted to make people happy. Even as a youngster I held visions of myself entertaining thousands of people with my playing. I felt that through my piano I could bring them happiness. Television, I knew, was a medium through which I could reach those thousands of people. But, when close friends said, "No, you'll never be a success on TV," I didn't know what to do. Then my brother George's wife, Janie, gave me a copy of her favorite book, The Magic of Believing, by Claude Bristol. I read it. Running through its pages, I found it backed up the belief I'd held ever since my childhood. Bolstered by its message, "There's magic in believing," I felt encouraged to override the doubts of those around me. Since I made that decision, the letters I've received from my new television audience have told me I was right. (Continued on page 77)

For years, it has been my patient task to listen, to watch and understand while women have poured out what was in their hearts and minds. And always, like the heartbeat itself, there are two pulses—love and loneliness. There is the deep, ardent desire for love. And, with it, the dread of being a stranger, alone in a vast, troubled world. Thus, the ever-present urge to find love—to fall deeply into the warm comfort of being wanted and

By don McNeill

Mrs. McNeill is a smart woman. I can prove that in any number of ways, but there's one that occurs to me as more poignant and touching than most. One of our youngsters was the proud owner of a canary, but—though he loved the little bird immensely—like all youngsters, he was inclined to be forgetful at times. In the midst of one of those moments of forgetfulness, he neglected the very necessary job of keeping the canary's water dish filled. Well, I guess that what (Continued on page 78)

I've never been fond of mother-in-law jokes. To me, most of them are neither funny nor true. And, as Jocelyn Brent in The Road Of Life, I've learned how serious

even tragic—real in-law troubles can be. . . . Aunt Reggie has seen to that, with her constant interference in both Jim Brent's marriage to me and Johnny Brent's marriage to young Francie! In private life, I've liked mother-in-law jokes even less than ever, since I've known Andrea Bannister. It was partly because of such jokes—and partly because she didn't want to be an "Aunt Reggie" herself—that Andrea almost let her son Ted's marriage skid into trouble. You can understand how intimidated Andrea was when I explain how unlike her it is to keep her executive hands off anything that needs straightening out.

Successful, charming, terribly bright, she carries her fifty-odd years with queenly grace. And, as I came to know her, I learned that she had also to her credit a handsome, energetic young son whom she had brought up single-handedly after the death of her husband more than twenty years before. So it was disturbing to see her native directness and good sense handcuffed by fear of As myself—as well as playing seeming to fall into the mother-in-law pattern.

There's a new star in the Sterling household, and the little curved beak of Archie, the parakeet, is somewhat out of joint. Archie has his right to be jealous, for until recently it was his aquamarine plumage and cute ways that were the delight of his master and mistress, Jack and Barbara Sterling, and the talk of all visitors. Now everyone has eyes only for the baby, and poor Archie has to keep quietly to his cage. His wonderful way of winging across a room like a streak of dazzling blue light, to land on the head or shoulder of someone he loves and peck at eyelids and cheeks, just won't do any more.

Bert Parks, sparkling emcee

of Break The Bank

and Double Or Nothing,

follows the compass of his heart

By ALICE FRANCIS

Whenever anyone begins a story about Bert Parks, the word "dynamo" just naturally works its way into the text. There's no escaping, because it describes Bert so perfectly, outwardly. Alert, vital, vivid, fast on his feet and quick with a quip, you would hardly guess that, inwardly, he's a pretty philosophical fellow, who goes about his life fairly quietly, and thinks a placid cruise on Long Island Sound in his new boat, with Annette and the kids, is the most wonderful kind of day there is. Thinks he's the luckiest guy in the world to have Bert's warm interest in contestants on his exciting work he likes which leaves him leisure enough shows is the philosophy by which he lives—the same to enjoy his home and family. interest in others he is teachinq his own children. He emcees Double Or Nothing on CBS-TV three afternoons a week. He goes into New York again every Sunday evening for Break The Bank, on ABC-TV. There's a new program or two in the offing, which may pop up any day for him, and benefits and business details which encroach on his leisure. Somehow, he still manages to remain a reasonably relaxed citizen who doesn't let anything interfere with mending a broken fence or fixing a sagging door, taking the seven-year-old twin boys to the barber, or keeping his promise to five-year-old Petty to pick her up at a neighborhood party. Petty is Annette, Jr., a small doll of a girl with big dark eyes and black hair, a happy mixture of Bert and Annette in looks and charm and vivacity. The twins are Joel and Jeffrey, the spit and image of Bert, each twin being so like the other that they can deliberately start a comedy of errors—and frequently do, if they want to (Continued on page 94)

Eddie fisher and Joey Forman and I have been friends ever since we met in Phila- delphia, around twelve years ago, while we were waiting for a street car. Joey and I were on our way to an audition for a children's radio program, and we got to talking with this other boy and discovered he was going to the same audition. We all made the show, Joey and I as actors, Eddie as a singer. We appeared on it for years, five nights a week, just for carfare at first, while we were going to school. After the show, we'd go home and do our homework, then the three of us would meet somewhere again, maybe at each other's homes or at a candy store called "Joe's." We'd talk about the

Well, Eddie is the first of us to hit it big, and you could say he never forgot that pledge—if you thought he needed a pledge to remind him of his friends, which I don't. He's always tried to help Joey and me with our careers Joey's a night-club comedian now and I've acted in Broadway shows and TV. Sometimes I do the commercial with Eddie on his show. And, whenever Joey and I are in New York City, we stay with Eddie in his hotel apartment on Central Park. It's a little crowded at times, but life is still a lot easier than it was when Joey and Eddie and I first came to New York. In those days, we were sleeping on mattresses on the floor and pooling our money so that we could have a frank and a Coke. Nowadays, Eddie has an assistant, Willard Higgins, who comes in and prepares breakfast for him—and Joey and me when we're around, and any of the friends who're apt to drop in—soon as Eddie is awake.

So it is that Mary finds herself caught in a whirlpool of worry, fear and doubt. She knows it will take all the powers she can summon to regain her husband's trust and devotion—to draw him away from Elise—and, at the same time, protect herself against the forceful attentions of Victor Stratton and the hatred of his jealous wife.
