First Prize . . . A TEACHER DEFENDS HER PUPILS Lately there has been much criticism of children who appear on radio. It makes them affected, it is said, and interferes with their school work. As a teacher of Dramatic Art, I know these statements are untrue. On the contrary, those children who do the best work in my classes are unaffected in their speech and deport- ment, easily maintain high averages in school, and often also take dancing, music or some other art. I believe work in radio to be one of the forms of training a child should have. It improves their speech and diction; develops their imaginations; and calls for poise and personality of the sincere, natural type that is of great future value.—Louise C. Hor- ton, Royal Oak, Michigan.

And since Billie's memorable debut four years ago, happy Mrs. Burton knows that she's very close to seeing her dreams come true. Although Billie has just turned sixteen, she has the poise of a young woman and the microphone manners of a veteran trouper. She's tall, golden-haired, with laughing gray- blue eyes. Maybe heritage has something to do with her beauty and grace, for she is a descendant of two famous Civil War generals and of a prominent Southern statesman, Governor John Alston of South Carolina. Besides being a radio star herself, Billie's an ardent radio fan—her favorite stars are Connie Boswell and Frances Langford. One thing she isn't interested in—as yet—is boys. Maybe she's too determined to be a great singer to let romance interfere with her ambition—or maybe the right boy hasn't happened along yet to make her realize that love is just as important as music. * * *

offer was so unexpected and m THEso marvelous that, when it came, it did not seem quite real. It meant so much to me in every way. I had been wandering from room to room, too restless to sit still, unable to adjust myself to life without Ted, wondering what I would do during the long year ahead while he would be at camp. And I was so lonely. Ted and I—we had grown up together in the southwestern town where we had been born, and from high school on there had never been anyone else: dances, games, card parties—always Ted. Lost, that was ** the way I felt—lost, as if only part ^» ->-. of me was still in Oakhurst. •1 And then that telephone call; it changed everything. Not only did it mean I would see Ted, but it gave me the opportunity of which I had dreamed: a chance to sing over the radio. For it was Mr. Conley, of our local radio station, asking me to come to the office that afternoon for an audition. "We're arranging for a group of entertainers to go down to Camp Daniels, Miss Adams. And we want local talent, pretty much, as the boys come mostly from around here. Make them feel we're all friends together. I've heard you sing in amateur shows, and here's your chance; everything we do at Camp will be broadcast over an interstate network. Want to give it a try?" "Do I?" I breathed. "I should say I do." "At two then," he said. "At two," I repeated, and turned to call mother and tell her the news. m Then I realized this was her day at the Red Cross. I ran over to the piano, and began sorting my music, wondering what I had better use for the audition. I found myself singing happily; perhaps, things were working out for the best after all. *«

MAY, 1941 HU VB "

Some of the bitterness I had felt disappeared. It had rankled, no doubt of it, that, when the draft had first been discussed, Ted had not suggested our marriage. It hadn't been as if the country was at war; that of course, would have been different. I could not help feeling that if he had loved me as I wanted him to love me, he would never have taken a chance on our being separated for a year. We had almost quarrelled about it. "But, Betty," how intent he had been to make his point; "it's not right to try and get out of it. We can wait, dear; it's only a year."

WAIT, wait—I did not want to wait; I longed to be swept off my feet, to be told I was more than anything else in life to him, to know he could not leave me. And it had hurt, the rift between us; we had always had such an understanding companionship. Ted had pulled me to him, and as he had kissed me, I had felt his arms tighten around my shoulders. "Don't get the idea it's easy to leave you, but— There had been a new quality in his voice; my heart had beat quickly in answer to it. Then he had held me off at arm's length, half smiling, half serious. "Better keep our heads," he had said; "or it'll be anything but easy." And now, wouldn't Ted be surprised and thrilled when I turned up at Camp Daniels! I felt certain I'd make good at the audition. I knew my voice was good, and I loved to sing. So I was not nervous that afternoon, though I was excited as I realized how big a thing was being planned. It would mean leaving wanted him to or not, yet when he ward the Recreation Hall. home for at least several months; didn't—and I might have known he "I've leave to drive you over to the entertainers were to stay at a was too reserved to do so—I turned Lynwood.

"You're the best, the most wonderful mother ..." Ellen tensed. The child running towards her had brushed against the kettle, on the stove, so that it was teetering there above her. "Janey," she called, and then she threw herself at her, so the child was pushed to safety, with her own body over her, guarding her. It was over in a moment, the child's frightened gasp and that sudden, searing pain through her arm as the kettle clattered to the floor. There was that brief moment when Ellen saw that Janey was un- harmed before the darkness closed in on her in that agony of pain. She heard a voice, Janey's voice as she slowly groped her way back to consciousness again, only it seemed to come from a great distance. And Mark bending over her, his eyes wide with fear, looked as if he were a long distance away from her, too. Then the pain was there again as she struggled slowly to her feet. "It'll be all right, Mother," Janey whispered through her sobs. "I called the Center. Peter will be here soon." But it was Dr. Loring who came. Dr. Loring with his eyes concerned now as he looked at her. Dr. Loring cutting the sleeve away from her dress, his sure fingers working so swiftly and his voice gentle as he talked to her. Ellen felt herself relaxing, her gratitude rushing out to him. How different he was with the coldness gone from his eyes, with the curve of sarcasm gone from his lips. Strange the way he looked, as if he were sharing her pain.

"Oh, Doctor, I'm ' so glad you came," Janey said impulsively. "It's almost as if you were Peter." Ellen felt Loring' s fingers stiffen as he wound the bandage around her arm, and all the tenderness that had held (Continued on page 78)

on that hot day. So that was what Scoop feared — an accident, a stumble of the blind girl before a car, or even the greater terror of a body washed up on the lake shore. Patricia shook herself out of the en- circling horror; they need not tor- ture themselves with that image. Stormy was not that kind, she saw things through and did not jibe at her own pain. Patricia had sensed that quality in her from the first time she had met her; it had been a challenge to her own courage which she had, in the past, resented. Today, as she realized it in all its fineness, she desired fervently to possess it fully herself. "No," she said, speaking out of her certainty, "Stormy would never do that. You ought to know that better than I. She's not dead, Scoop. I know what you're thinking. I'll go with you and see what we can do." But neither Scoop nor Patricia could discover any trace of the blind girl. It was amazing how completely she had disappeared. And though, as the days dragged along, they followed up any clue or hint they might receive, their efforts proved futile. Scoop grew haggard and thin. And Patricia, tired from the heat and drain upon her re-

All at once his eyes fell on me and he walked toward me. "So you did come," he said, "I was afraid you wouldn't."

IOTS of people think nurses are hardboiled; that they see so much of life that is bitter and cruel that they lose sight of what it should be. Perhaps that is true, perhaps it isn't. At any rate it's true that lots of girls I know who have had their eyes opened early to life in the raw take the line of least resistance, determined to get all the fun they can while they can still enjoy it. My sister Karen and I decided that we would be different. When we were still in high school we made up our minds to be trained nurses, but we vowed that no matter what happened we would never become—well, casual, to put it politely; would never lose sight of the ideals our parents had taught us. Maybe that sounds smug, but I don't think we were because it really wasn't difficult for us to keep our pledge during those first few years. Although Karen is two years younger than I, we had always been closer to each other than most sisters. For one thing we were in the same grade in school due to the fact that illness kept at for so me home a year and that Karen became i interested in the lessons Mother gave me that when I was ready to return to school she was able to go into the same class with me. Then when Mother and Dad died of flu just after we'd finished training, we were more dependent than ever on each other and with such sympathy and understanding between us it wasn't difficult, as I say, to hold on to our determination not to become case hardened. Some of the older more sophisticated nurses used to tease us and tell us that we were missing a lot of fun, but so far as we could see we weren't missing a thing. We'd taken a small apartment after our home was broken up and we got a *& terrific kick out of keeping house. We had plenty of beaux but none of them was very serious, I guess. At least we didn't seem to have any trouble enjoying ourselves and at the same time keep out of all romantic and emotional jams. I don't remember when we first got so interested in Rex Burton, but it got to be a habit with us whenever we were at home or on night duty where we could turn on a radio to tune in on his milkman's matinee. It was the usual run of those 32 —

It all began so gaily, when two sisters wrote to the leader of the

late night programs—Rex would talk about odd things that had happened during the day, read late news bulletins, give commercials and play records—but there was something so infectious about him that the first thing we knew we were Burton fans, staying up later than we should every night to listen to him. Karen had only one criticism of his program.. He didn't play enough Mai Graham records to suit her. "Doesn't he realize," she grumbled one night as we were getting ready for bed, "that Mai Graham's orchestra is the most popular one in the country?" "Stop grousing and come to bed," I yawned. "We have early calls tomorrow and we'll look like hags. Besides, if you're so worked up about records, write to Mr. Burton and ask him to play some of them." "I couldn't, Terry," Karen protested. "You know I write the dumbest letters in the world. You could, though. Why don't you?" "Why don't I what?" I was half asleep. "Write to Rex Burton," came Karen's voice from her bed. "I dare you." I should have known better. All my life when Karen wanted me to do something I didn't want to do or shouldn't do she has said, "I dare you," and I've plunged right in. Then if things turned out badly there was little Karen innocent as a lamb, while I got all the blame. So I should have known better than to say, "All right. I'll write to him tomorrow." But I did say it and in the darkness I could hear Karen chuckle. By morning, of- course, my better judgment prevailed and I realized that writing to Rex Burton was out of the question. But Karen, when I told her I had changed my mind, refused to let me off. "You took a dare," she insisted stubbornly, "and that's just the same as making a promise. You can't back out now." Back and forth we argued and at last I gave in, but by that time I was too confused to com- pose a sensible letter. In desperation I dashed off a flippant little note which Karen, remarking that she didn't trust me to mail it, took charge of and thrust into a mail box as soon as we left the apartment.

It seemed, however, to hold only Why, it's the most romantic thing I saw the laughter in his eyes and pleasant things, for that date with that ever happened. You've got to suddenly I was laughing, too, and Rex was the first of many. I had go, Terry. What harm could there be in that? You wouldn't even have to talk to him. He wouldn't have any way of knowing who you are, and if he did speak to you you Karen's tone was sharp. "Can't I even have could pretend to be waiting for a date without telling you where I'm going?" someone. Go on, Terry. I dare you." There it was again, "I dare you" —and before I could stop myself I said, "All right. I'll go. But just to see what he looks like. If he speaks to me I'll say I'm waiting for my old maid aunt."

crazy, of course, but the IT was more I thought about the idea the more it appealed to me. After all, as Karen said, it was pretty thrilling to be asked for a date with heaven knows how many people listening in. Anyhow, next afternoon at cocktail time there I was at the Flamingo Room, more excited than I'd ever been in my life. I chose a table near the door so I'd be sure to see everyone who came in and I'd no sooner settled myself than Rex Burton entered. No, I didn't recognize him by the "hopeful look" on his face, but because the head waiter called him by name and complimented him on his broadcasts. "Thanks, Mike," Rex answered, but he wasn't paying much attention. He was too busy looking around the room, and I took advantage of his preoccupation to study him. He was tall and broad shouldered and while he wasn't the handsomest man I'd ever seen he looked so nice somehow, so friendly, that I could feel 34 — —

We went to Twenty-One for dinner, then to a musical comedy and finally to the Stork Club. But the thrill didn't last very long for me, for before the evening was over I knew—and the knowledge turned me sick inside —that Mai wasn't the only one who was attracted to Karen. I had thought that Rex might be in love with me. Now that idea would have made me laugh if I hadn't wanted to cry. For every word he spoke to her, every inflection of his voice, told me that he was falling in love with Karen, and there was no comfort for me in the fact from that night on Karen had eyes and ears and thoughts only for Mai.

SOMETIMES I thought it would be better if I never saw Rex again, but this wasn't possible. He asked me for dates as often as formerly—but now I could tell from the way his eyes followed her when she was near and the continual references he made to her when we were alone that it was in order to be near Karen. Not that we were alone very often for he contrived as frequently as possible to arrange double dates so that he might see Karen even with Mai. Often when Rex phoned me I wanted to scream, "No—I won't go with you when it's Karen you love." I wanted to hurt him as much as he was hurting me, but I never could bring myself to refuse. I guess, at that, the sight of Karen dancing in Mai's arms made him unhappier than anything I could have said. I had just about reached the point where I thought I could no longer stand the strain when I was called on to accompany a patient to a hospital in the South. All the time I was gone I tortured myself with the thought that Karen and Rex must be seeing each other. I didn't know for certain, of course, and I tried to make myself believe that I didn't care, either. But when I returned I thought they must have been meeting. In my blindness I couldn't account in (Continued on page 59)

Radio Mirror is happy to offer something entirely new- a unique series of portraits and character studies of people you have grown to love as you have listened to one of radio's most popular serial dramas, an inspiring message of faith written by Carl Bixby and Don Becker. On these and the following pages you will see and read about lovable Chichi Conrad, Stephen Hamilton, Toby Nelson and Dr. Markham, and thus add greatly to your enjoyment of a powerful broadcast drama

Dr. Bertram Markham is the famous surgeon who once cured Stephen Hamil- ton, but saw his work undone by an accident. He is the father of Barry Markham. Aristocratic, deeply devoted to his profession, Dr. Markham seems gruff and forbidding at first. At heart, he is a great deal more human. He started out by disliking Chichi, but time taught him she was not the "gold- digger" he had accused her of being. He has much for which to thank Chichi, for she promoted the romance which led to his marriage to Louise Kimball, the devoted nurse who had for years patiently tolerated his temperamental tan- trums. The marriage is ideally happy although Barry, his son, opposed it as bitterly as the doctor opposed Barry's romance with Chichi. Dr. Markham does not appear as frequently in the story of "Life Can Be Beautiful" as some of the other characters. But his presence has been responsible for many events which affect the lives of Chichi and the others. (Played by Charles Webster)

Stephen Hamilton used to be what Chichi called him—a "sourpuss." Unable to walk, he had lived in his own embittered world, refusing to leave it. Papa David, pitying him, had given him a position in the book shop. With the arrival of Chichi, Stephen began to fall unwillingly in love. Through her efforts, he was operated upon by Dr. Markham, and for a time it seemed he might walk again. He allowed himself to hope he could declare his love for Chichi and find a new meaning in life. Ironically, it was through her that this hope was destroyed—in saving her life in an accident he injured himself again, and has not walked since. He has taken up his old profession of the law, however, using the book shop as an office. Struggling to find peace and contentment, forced to be satisfied with a love that has no expression or promise of fulfillment, Stephen is a constant challenge to David's firm and unshakable belief that "Life Can Be Beautiful."

Just how the Barbours lived through the poverty-ridden months that followed is not quite clear, and they have added little to the story, although the memory is undoubtedly vivid. They prefer not to recall it. Somehow, Henry's determination to become the master of a financial house survived the catastrophe, and by 1912, the year of the birth of the twins, Clifford and Claudia, their days of privation had ended. San Francisco had shaken off the ashes and debris of 1906, and as it rebuilt itself into one of the world's most beautiful cities the Barbour Stock and Bond Co. kept the pace.

was the decorator, and she's very good. She knows how to make a room appealing, as Gene would say, "without putting on the dog." The fireplace, like the ceiling, is panelled oak, and sofas are drawn up to it, as well as to the great wall of window at the back of the house which looks out over the magnificent gardens. Those have been ten or fifteen years growing, and they are beautiful. You look out the window across a flagstone terrace, through the eucalyptus trees and great oak branches, down a gentle slope to the Los Angeles river. The city has grown up almost to the Autrys' very door but no one could tell it from that view. All you can see are the trees and green grass, a long way down the slope the green flash of the swimming pool, and in the distance, the purple mountains cupping snow in their jagged tops. The living room gives you the feeling that you are living in the whole outdoors—great vistas of space in which to relax. The dining room, just a step away, is just the opposite and properly so. It is small and intimate, gay. Brightly flowered wall paper, and ruffled pink and white curtains. Pink and white dishes for the sheraton mahogany table, with its chintz bottomed chairs.

I still do, although I'm making prog- ress, I hope. At the convent we were taught manners, humility, and respect for others. We learned to curtsy, to appear well-bred, and to deport ourselves as little ladies always. What I remember most about the place was the peaceful regularity, so violently in contrast to my life today. There was this precious peace. And there was an equally-soothing period of music.

ing. In fact, I never even had a voice teacher. Maybe the moral is to sit tight and not be consumed by ambition: do what you can and be ready for any eventuality. I know a girl who used to write fragile little sonnets. She planned to become a poet, to dislodge Edna St. Vincent Millay. Today she is a can-can dancer. I have set down how it came about that I am holding down three jobs with a movie contract looming on the horizon. It all sounds glamorous and in a way it is. But it's work, too, hard work. And long hours. First off, I live with mother in a comfortable apartment of four rooms. There is no butler, no chauffeur. When we're in a hurry, we use taxis. Other- wise, it's the bus. Mother understands Life for the jade it is. "A toboggan makes marvelous time going downhill," she says, in true philosophic vein. My main problem is this: how to get by on twenty-four hours a day. I get up at nine. I eat breakfast and start out. There are agents to see, conferences with the studio, talks with the publicity department, mail to be answered. Lunch is a brief item. There are a dozen song pluggers to hear. I don't mean to leave the impression that song pluggers are a bother and a bore. We need one another. I spend twenty hours a week listening to new songs, momentary waifs for which these high-pressure boys are trying to find a sponsor. Then there are the rehearsals for the air show, recordings over at the Blue- bird studios, and, at this writing, a matinee at the Strand. For dinner I get reckless. I toss time to the winds and give myself forty-five minutes. Often I eat alone. After dinner there's the business of dressing. Broadcasts, more personal appearances at the Strand, and the after-theatre show at the Waldorf- DRESS DESIGNED BY OMAR KIAM Astoria come in swift succession.

When she had gone, I tumbled into bed, planning to read myself to sleep. I read and read, and got wider awake with each page I turned. One o'clock came, then two. I began to listen then for Karen, thinking each time a taxi slowed down in the street below that I would hear her key in the lock. But three o'clock came and still there was no sign of her. I was annoyed; she'd never stayed out so late before unless we were together. By four o'clock I began to be alarmed. Something terrible must have happened. I'd have to find her—have to phone hospitals to inquire about accident cases, even phone the police. I'd give her until five o'clock, then if .he hadn't returned I'd begin phoning. Four-thirty.

the perfect solution, wouldn't it?" Perfect! Perfect for Rex—he would Jean Bjorn, popular Arthur Murray be marrying the girl he loved and he teacher at the British Colonial in she would soon forget the heartaches Nassau—leads the La Conga Chain. had caused him. Perfect for Karen, too—for I felt in my soul that once she knew Rex as I knew him, saw him as he really was instead of over- shadowed by the Mai Graham glamour, she would fall in love with him. She couldn't help it. As for me— would be the older sister as I had always been. For a moment it seemed more than I could face. It seemed so hideously unfair that Karen, who had ridden roughshod over everything we had believed in, should have this final happiness. But I couldn't think of myself now. These two, Karen and Rex, were the only people in the world who mattered to me, and I couldn't let any consideration for my own happiness stand in the way of theirs. "Yes, Rex," I said then. "I believe it would be the perfect solution." The door behind us opened and Karen, bundled in a woolly robe, came into the room. "I couldn't go to sleep," she explained, "and I couldn't stay there by myself in the dark." She looked so helpless, so frightened, that all my love for her came back in a rush. "Of course you couldn't, pet," I said and pulled her down beside me. WE tried hard, all of us, to make conversation, but it was a difficult job. Everything seemed to bring us right back to Karen and the problem we were all facing. We were all tens - and nervous and suddenly my profes sional training told me that we were in need of food.

I shook my head. "There's still Karen," I said. "Finding this out now—doesn't change her position any. We can't hurt her any more than she has been hurt already." "Terry," Rex was pleading, "don't you see that you're all wrong? Karen can't expect us to give each other up now. She'll be unhappy whether she marries me or not. There's no sense in wrecking our lives when it won't help her." "But it can help her," I said. "Rex —you can't expect her to face the future—alone." The light went out of his eyes then and his shoulders sagged in defeat. "I guess that's that, then," he said re- signedly. "Goodbye, Terry." When he had gone I turned my face into my pillow and sobbed as I hadn't sobbed since I was a child, and as a result of my hysteria I was denied all visitors for several days. Then one morning the nurse told me she had a surprise for me and a few minutes later she wheeled Karen into the room. We made a great pretense of chat- ting while the nurse was with us, but as soon as she left we fell silent and I sensed a feeling of restraint between us which had never existed before. At last I said, idiotically, "It's too bad this had to happen and delay your wedding."

THERE isn't going to be any wedding," she said quietly and for some reason her very calmness frightened me. "What do you mean?" I whispered. "Just that. There isn't going to be any wedding.

MARVIN MUELLER—the youthful actor who plays the role of tough Top-Sergeant Monihan on Dear Mom, heard Sunday evenings at 6:55, E.S.T., over CBS. Marvin isn't as tough as he sounds, but he's used to portraying characters that have nothing to do with him as he really is. Once he broadcast as a 65-year-old man, and curtains had to be pulled around him so studio audiences wouldn't have their illusions spoiled. He was born in St. Louis and started his radio work there nine years ago when he got irritated at the way common words were mispronounced on the air and asked for an announcer's job so he could do better. He's married, and writes poetry in his spare time. Many of his verses have been published.

A single wash with this new shampoo made specially for blondes makes hair shades lighter, helps keep light hair from darkening and brightens faded blonde hair. Called BLONDEX, it is not a liquid but a fragrant powder that quickly makes a rich cleansing lather. This instantly removes the dingy, dust-laden film that makes blonde hair dark, old-looking. Next, it gives it attractive lustre and highlights and keeps that "Just- Shampooed" look fcr a whole week. Fine for children, it is absolutely safe. Bears the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

He's 36 years old, and is probably one of the youngest owners and operators of a radio station in the country. Ever since he was ten years old, Gordon has been enthusiastic about radio.

Of course it wasn't much of a station—he built all his own equipment, and in those days you couldn't broadcast voices anyway, just signals. But Gordon was in on the ground floor of the radio business at the age of ten. He left high school just before graduation time to take a job in a Take it from Gordon Brown, young Descended from pioneers, announcer factory, designing and building radio owner of Rochester's station WSAY, sets.

Whatever method you use for the check-up, now is a good time for it. It is a good idea to go to a really first-rate beauty parlor once in a while for a lesson. Watch carefully what the operator who is a trained make-up artist does, and remember. Notice how carefully she blends the TIME rouge with the powder base, and powders over. If you have been dabbing on a spot of rouge as a sort of after-thought, go to the foot of the class! Rouge is to be taken seriously. It can apparently remould the con- tours of your face. Use just the right color, in just the right place, blend with artistry, and powder over all. If the effect is too pale, rouge again, this time allowing for the effect of the final coating of powder.

CPEAKING of powder, are you using J the right shade? Too dark a powder or too light a powder makes your face look unnatural. Spring hats are colorful, spring sunshine is bright. You cannot use the same makeup that was so becoming in the dark and rainy days. Anyhow, at least half the women one sees use either too much or too little cosmetics. All things considered, try yourself made up more than usual, and see if your friends look thrilled or startled. Then try less than usual, and see if they register approval. One adventure that is literally always at hand is a new tint or shade of nail enamel. There's novelty every day, it seems. I just saw an iridescent one which made the nails seem more jewel-like than ever. And there are some new pastel tints to go with the flower-like coloring of Spring clothes.

What about a new hair-do? What about a change in make- up? Ona Munson, who plays Lor- elei on Big Town, Wednesday nights on CBS, believes it's every woman's duty to give herself a complete spring beauty check-up.
