To select a name to begin such a roll of honor, the editor's choice is Major Bowes. Major Bowes because, with a new season of radio entertainment under way, with sponsors signing new stars, re-signing old ones for new programs, buying new time, hiring new orchestras, his Thursday night amateur hour, a full sixty minutes of entertainment, swings merrily along ahead of ail the rest. ' Major Bowes, who started a craze that broke out in a rash from coast to coast, has lived beyond the amateur fad, has outlived the jokes, the stories, and the imitators—until now, when the announcement of an amateur show causes less than a ripple of excitement, he has the most consistently popular hour show in radio. Every week, for fifty-two weeks, he continues to be the master showman. Major Bowes began with a unique idea that caught the public's fancy with its novelty. He became the most talked about man in the country two years ago. He should have faded out following the pattern of other crazes. But, unlike mah jongg and clock golf. Major Bowes is still a favorite. He has developed his unique idea from a novelty appeal to a permanent program of solid listening values. Because he has thus proved himself radio's master showman, the name of Major Bowes is the first to be enscribed by the editor on Radio Mirror's roll of honor. To those who may follow, let the trail he blazed be inspiration. OCTOBER, 1937 VOL 8 NO. 6 ERNEST V. HEYN. EXECUTIVE EDITOR FRED R. SAMMIS. EDITOR WALLACE H.
