FIRST PRIZE HAIL, AMERICAN BROADCASTING! IT has been the fashion in recent years for certain self- appointed critics to knock the American system of broadcasting. We would be better off, they cry, if all broadcasting was in the hands of the government. In the recent war crisis these critics received an answer that should silence them forever. The American broadcasting companies' handling of the war news was a truly magnificent achievement. An achievement that was du- plicated nowhere else in the world. I think we should all doff our hats to the broadcasting companies. In a vital situation, packed with genuine drama, they justified themselves before the world, and proved themselves worthy of the name, American. VERNON WILKINSON Oakland, Calif. SECOND PRIZE A SURE CURE A more pleasant man than my husband you'd never want to know, but when he drove a car, he became a demon. He cursed other drivers; damned road conditions and traffic congestions -until we got the radio for the car. Now he tunes in the program, smiles happily; never notices how many red lights he stops for; will, and does, willingly help a fellow driver in difficulty, with never a word of damnation (which, fortunately, nobody but me ever heard anyway). So, as long as we can afford a car, I cannot afford to be without a radio for it, as it tends toward greater happiness for the driver and all the passengers therein. MRS.

Listen to his program on Saturday nights, at 6:30, over the Mutual network.

HE Bob Hopes are busy denying stork rumors, and all because of an innocent little gag in Bob's radio T monologue recently, which ran as follows: "Congratulations are in order tonight. There's been a little addition at the Hope House . . . of course, it's been expected for quite a while ... say, aren't they cute at first? ... Gee, my wife will be surprised when she sees my new car." Seems that many listeners heard all but the last sentence. * * * Studio workers are calling Bob Taylor "Tarzan" because he hasn't had his hair cut in ten weeks.

You'd think that after sixteen years they'd run out of gags ... but, of course, Bergen can always fall back on Charlie McCarthy's woodencisms.

By a Famous Dance Band Leader

IREMEMBER when swing first began to get the people. I remember it well, because it got me too. That was about two years ago. It seems much longer than that now. It seems an eternity. When swing came in I had a fairly big name in the band business. I had a group of musicians who had worked with me a long time. We had built a style. Building a style isn't easy, it takes years of work. We were a sweet band. Sweet nothing, the sort of music we played was downright tender. But along came swing, slowly at first, then all of a sudden. And after it came, all of a sudden it went wild, and everybody wanted it.

When you've been leading a band, and blowing an instrument in the big league as long as I had, you don't slip if you can help it. You know how hard it is to get back up again. So I changed from sweet music to swing. I had to let some of my men go, musicians who had worked with me a long while. I got a hot trumpet section, and a couple of screaming saxes. I even changed my own style of playing, and I won't tell you what instrument I play because then you'd know who I am. What I've got to say would knock me right out of this swing business, and I can't afford to go now. Right now I'm cleaning up, but it's been killing me.

RADIO'S STARS

Once they were home- loving folk, but the Hollywood social bug got them and now they're going places

HOLLYWOOD is bringing the stars of radio out of their shells. Generally, radio people aren't, and never have been, as socially minded as their picture colleagues. They've always been inclined to prefer the bright lights of the home fireside to the brighter lights of the currently popular night clubs. But today, when so many of them are living in Hollywood, they're learning how to have fun in public as well as private, and you'll see them in such places as the Trocadero, Brown Derby, and La Conga, formerly exclusive movie spots. (Continued on next page) RADIO'S favorite hangouts at the moment are La Conga and Wally Ver - non's Stage One, but they may soon switch their attentions to a brand new meeting place. Stars like new places, and are in the habit of attending all open- ings, often at the request of the managers, who want the publicity. For luncheon, they go to the Brown Derby, for dinner to the Trocadero, seldom wavering in their allegiance.

You seldom find Fannie Brice night - clubbing (Baby Snooks just won't let her). Above with Charlie Chaplin at the Trocadero. Right, the Cafe Victor Hugo brings out three homebodies--Joe E. Brown, Bing Crosby, Gene Tunney.

RADIO'S STARS GET AROUND

a- . -

DEMOCRACY and informality are the keynotes of radio society. Conspic- uously absent are exclusive cliques. Rival comedians or singers are apt to be best friends -for instance, Eddie Cantor and Jack Benny have weekly casino games, and the Bennys and George Burnses go everywhere. An unpubli- cized social activity is the party Nelson Eddy gives at his home every other Sunday to the Chase & Sanborn cast..

Eddy Duchin's band at the Cocoanut Grove brought out Stuart Erwin and his wife. Left, the newly married Clark Andrews (she's Claire Trevor) were the inspiration for several parties recently.

Right, even in the midst of gay night life, Barbara Stanwyck and Jack Benny prove they can go in for serious discussion. The Bennys are often seen partying with the Andy Devines as well as the Burnses.

A familiar Hollywood foursome is Carole Lombard, Clark Gable and Mr. and Mrs. Andy Devine. Mrs. Andy is in the picture at the left too, but she's lurking in the shadows behind Clark's shoulder.

They've been partners for a year, and he is already in love with her -but she persistently refuses his frequent proposals. It is after the evening performances, and the troupe is planning to hold a holiday party, complete with Christmas tree, on the stage. For the role of Santa Claus they've picked out our hero, and decked out in his Santa costume, he drops into the heroine's dressing room, hoping that She's still refusing him.

HEN big radio shows first began to originate in Hollywood, all a famous movie star had to do in a guest appearance was to giggle W prettily a few times, rattle off a page of script any old way, and bow off the stage to great applause. But listeners tired of such haphazard performances, and now those days are gone forever. Today, Hollywood's big picture stars know that a radio show means careful study, long hours of rehearsal, cutting, changing, and expanding of scripts, meticulous tim- ing of lines -in a word, real work. Stars know, perhaps, that a poor radio performance reflects itself -unhappily -in decreasing receipts at the movie box -office. Here you see a few humble students of the radio art who respect this comparatively unfamiliar medium and go about mastering it as earnestly as they'd go about shooting a new movie. 30 Left, Mickey Rooney also favors the floor for a desk; below in this hard -working. serious -faced young woman you'd hardly recognize the glamorous Dorothy Lamour.

C 6zieriw Has Philo Vance been trying to solve the murder of the wrong man? A swift and unexpected turn of events brings the mystery of the poisoned cigarette near a climax

The story thus far:

ON the night of Philip Allen's death an oddly assorted group of people attended the sinister Cafe Domdaniel. Philo Vance, the famous detective was there out of curiosity. Gracie Allen, an employee of the In- O -Scent Perfume Company, had come with one suitor, Mr. Puttle, partly to make another suitor, George Burns, jealous, and partly to persuade her brother Philip, a dish- washer in the cafe, not to quit his job. George Burns was keeping an eye on Gracie. One of Sergeant Heath's detectives was across the street, watching to see that Benny the Buzzard, an escaped criminal, did not return to his old haunt. And Owl Owen, master criminal, was 'there for reasons of his own. Vance already knew Gracie, having met her that afternoon in the country when a cigarette tossed from a passing car had burned a hole in her dress. At that time, he had jokingly told her he had come to the country to kill a man. . . . Shortly after Vance left the Domdaniel, word reached him that Gracie's brother had been found mysteriously dead in the office of Mirche, the Dom - daniel's proprietor. Sergeant Heath was soon convinced that George Burns was guilty of Philip's death, but Vance was unsatisfied, and persuaded District Attorney Markham to let George go free pending further investigation. Gracie, trying to help Vance solve the case - although she was still unaware that her brother was the murdered man -unwittingly revealed the existence of a secret door to Mirche's office, thus explaining how Philip had been found there when no one saw him enter. The autopsy showed that his death had been caused by an obscure but very powerful poison. Meanwhile, Vance's investigations led him to an interview with Owl Owen, a fatally ill madman who was Mirche's silent partner in the Domdaniel. Gracie, turning up with another clue, offered Vance the cigarette which had burned the hole in her dress- 38 Illustration by Joseph Tesar

Dixie Del Marr leaned against the desk, looking at us with cold resignation. Owen sat smiling faintly, cynically.

and, smelling it, Vance realized that it appeared to be impreg- nated with the same poison which had caused Philip's death. Gracie then made a startling accusation -that Philo Vance was the murderer!

PART V ANOTHER SHOCK

CRACLE ALLEN'S appalling accusation came like a para- lyzing shock. It was several moments before I could collect myself sufficiently to see the logic behind it. It was the natural outcome of the story which Vance had built up for the girl the afternoon he had first met her. Markham, with only meager details of that rustic encounter and knowing nothing of the tall tale spun by Vance, must have recalled immediately the conversation at the Bellwood Country Club, in which Vance had expressed his extravagant ideas as to how Pellinzi should be disposed of. Heath, too, flabbergasted by the girl's announcement, must have recalled that Friday - night dinner; and it was not beyond reason to assume that he now held some hazy suspicion of Vance's guilt. Vance himself was momentarily astounded, for he suddenly realized how Gracie Allen's accusation took on the color of plausibility. Markham approached the girl with an austere frown. "That is a grave charge you have just made, Miss Allen," he said. His gruff tone indicated the intangible doubts in the recesses of his mind. "Tell me just why you say Mr. Vance killed Benny the Buzzard." "Why, I didn't say it -that is, I didn't make it up out of my own head. I just sort of repeated it. It was Mr. Vance who said it. He said it when I first met him in Riverdale. I will tell you. Well, I went up to Riverdale last Saturday afternoon with Mr. Puttle -he's one of our salesmen, you know. Well, we got to Riverdale -I often go there -I think it's just lovely up there. But (Continued on page 57) 39

Following service in NBC and CBS house bands, a sensational performance in a swing concert in 1936 won Artie backing for a band. A gruelling junket around the country just recently culminated with an engagement at the Hotel Lin- coln in New York. Artie has a loyal and large following who approve his self- styled title, "king of clarinet." I don't know whether Benny Goodman approves.

LAREDO, Texas -It doesn't sound sensible, but down here station KPAB is actually giving you presents for DX, or long- distance reports.

So if your radio is powerful enough to pick up broadcasts many, many miles away -and, of course, if you live many, many miles away from Laredo -tune in on 1500 kilocycles some night between 2:00 and 3:00 A.

It was no surprise to anybody in Chicago when Bob Hawk was announced as one of the stars of Mu- tual's The People's Rally, Sunday afternoons, because Bob was already one of the Hub city's favorite stars. Bob's rise was something of a phenomenon, too, because he is probably the only comedy headliner who was built up entirely through his own native wit, plus phonograph records. During his eleven years in radio - Bob is now thirty -one-he has worked for fifteen different radio stations, through every sort of program from grand opera to wrestling matches. Chicago grew to know him best as the master of ceremonies on an hour- long show given over entirely to hot swing recordings, called the Red Hot and Low -Down Revue. First it was his shirts.

DALLAS -"And a happy day!" is the cheery parting remark on each of Eddie Dunn's Early Bird programs over WFAA here in Dallas. Twenty- eight -year -old Eddie Dunn used to work in a radio station in Waco when he was in high school - that is, he worked there until one day he dropped twenty dollars' worth of records on the floor and broke them. Later, he sang on the air as a member of the Waco High School Male Quartet. Then he went on to higher education at Baylor University and Southern Methodist University, and didn't return to radio until 1928, as one -half of the harmony team of Munn and Dunn. Eddie sang and played ukulele accompaniment, and stayed on the WFAA staff for seven years, leaving to become advertising manager for a Fort Worth concern. Radio lured him back to it, though, 1937 and in he returned to WFAA Quick as you please, I took her advice and changed to Fels -Naptha Soap.

Once I started to collect a wardrobe, but the moths took it over." This touching experience occurred in New York. Broadway and the Scotch -English Mr. Sparks were bosom buddies for sixteen years. He arrived in a cattle car with some choice Guernseys, and fifty cents clutched in his grimy little hand. Flop houses and park benches saw much of him.

Sparks in no way endeared himself to the managers by that act. The important ones blacklisted him for awhile. So he turned to films and in 1919 played in a Constance Bennett number. In 1923 he made Hollywood his address. In the long gap between the Equity strike and films, Sparks added to his memories by helping to outsmart some smarties. "There was a wealthy business man in New York who thought he was a playright," tells Sparks. "He was nutty about magic tricks and he had two good ones in a play he wrote. The play itself was pure Limburger. All the actors in the cast, and there were some good ones, knew it, and they also knew that the fellow was being exploited by the show's producer, who thought he could make a lot of money with the dumb 'angel.'

People at CBS still "Why does my mother -in -law remember him as he was then. He was being the Boy Poet, and he used to sit raptly at the lunch counter between broadcasts, chewing a pencil, always take my husband's side?" gazing off into space, and jotting down an imperishable line now and then. His resonant and beautiful voice is How Mary used modern methods his biggest asset as an actor, and he is always at his best in a part which for her baby- despite interference! allows him to unleash it and let it boom away. It was his voice that made him a success on the air, particularly in parts like The Shadow. Orson is a big, tall, heavy young man, with melting brown eyes (rather like a St. Bernard's) who would be handsome if he didn't get so excited while he's acting a part that he twists his face into all sorts of expressions. Around the studios he's known as an inveterate practical joker, given to riotous horseplay and waggish and sometimes embarrassing pranks. This reputation didn't do him any good after the "Martian" broadcast. Offi- cials were inclined to think it was just a gigantic practical joke, and it took all of Orson's sincere regrets to make them change their minds. -`,142:7;.:11:414/4/: His "curtain speech" at the end of the broadcast, in which he explained that it had all been a Hallowe'en MARY: John, will you take your hands off MOTHER -IN -LAW: My dear. you know John is prank-"just our way of dressing up that child and listen to ME for a change?

I'll make her MARY: Oh mother ... please ... please .. go down too well, either, considering take it ... the seriousness of the situation. He made the speech before he knew the situation was serious, though, and the only reason he made it at all was that he thought listeners would be contemptuous of the childish fantasy of the story he'd just put on the air. VOU'VE probably gathered that he's erratic, unpredictable, and brilliant -and you're right.

It crops up, inevitably, in most of his stage productions, and to many people it seems fitting that his present nation -wide fame should be based on a scare.
