I graduated from high school, and entered college. I'd always been interested in medicine, and I started to study it. And since in this story I want to tell all the truth, even when it is painful to me, I must tell you that I married a very sweet boy -not a musician, but a .West Virginia boy who wanted a wife and not a girl who was dreaming of singing with a band. I am not so very proud of that period of my life, not so very proud of the compulsion that finally led me to accept a dance -band job that was offered me, and go on tour with it. At first, that job was only a try -out. I was supposed to see how I liked it; and I'm sure my husband thought I wouldn't like it at all. But I did. And besides, things began to happen so fast I didn't even have time to think about coming home. It was as if joining that small band-you've never even heard its name -set in motion a train of events that carried me help- lessly along with it. There was the night Gene Austin heard me-his offer to take me into his show- his decision to go to Los Angeles-my chance to sing at the Cocoanut Grove -my long engagement there- notice from columnists-my picture in the amusement pages of newspapers ... all adding up to what I wanted, a career as a singer of popular songs. And then I stopped. I thought I'd had enough. I went back home, back to my husband. In time, our little girl was born. But there was something missing. Inside me, there was still that unquenchable urge -the desire for the excitement, the glamour, the Into twenty -five short years the _author, -Judy Starr, has packed more laughter and tears than most people experience in a whole lifetime. rhythmic sway of the orchestra.

Dear Jimmie: Fred Sammis and I published the story about you in the August issue of RADIO MIRROR in perfectly good faith. We took the author's word for it that everything he said in it was true. But you say we were mistaken, and I think the least we can do for you and our readers is to publish the facts as you yourself wrote them in your letter to me. With best regards, ERNEST V. HEYN, Erecutive Editor.

Mr. Ernest V. Heyn RADIO MIRROR 122 E. 42nd Street New York, N. Y.

My dear Ernest: In view of the fact that you and I have been pretty good friends, I think it's unfair that you would publish a story such as that in the August RADIO MIRROR, written by one Carroll Graham. Many of the statements are absolutely, inaccurate. Frankly, I don't care what a writer has to say when he is expressing an opinion of me. I mean, if Mr. Graham or anyone else wishes to disagree with my reviews and say I am a lousy reviewer, or that I am a poòr writer, that is his own business, and certainly I am not one to question another fellow's opinions-because I live by opinion myself. I am not inclined to be revengeful. I don't think such an inclination would be necessary in your case, anyway, because I believe I know you well enough to be sure you will immediately undo the effect this article has had upon me. Let me point out a few misstatements he made: His article closes with the remark: "I don't care to disillusion twenty million fans who listen to his weekly reviews of the pictures-but he almost never goes to the movies! He makes his reporters see them." This is not true! It is true my staff members see some of the smaller pictures, when there are two on one night and I can't catch them both. And there have been times when my own strenuous work at the studio (and perhaps ill health) have forced me to assign (Continued on page 63) 'CHILDBIRTH KILL?

That was Lowell Thomas, flashing to you the news - Well, the news those words flashed to this chronicler was a sort of Klieg -light on the subject of the Thomas career. f What has this guy got that the rest of us haven't got? The word is -SCOPE. This scope built an unusual but not extraordinary talent into an enormous financial and popular success. Lowell, in 1917, at the age of twenty -five, floats a loan of seventy thousand dollars, marries a wife, and goes on from there. How does he get that way? Salesmanship, but salesmanship with scope. This is no reflection upon his authenticity as an adventurer or his reality as a romanticist: His reputa- tion as both -though broadcast by much ballyhoo -is Thomas with Lawrence, "Uncrowned solidly founded on actual experience: King of Arabia," whose story net- But the man's terrific drive is that of a supersales- ted Lowell over a million dollars. man and his genius is the organization of that drive. Where Lowell got his jump on other salesmen -and aren't we all? -was in sensing, early, that drive enough to push a small deal will push a large one, if it's geared right.

THE surprise hit of radio's summer season was Kay Kyser's Musical Class and Dance, that light- hearted concoction of wise -cracks, questions and answers, and music -so big a hit, in fact, that one broadcast a week, every Wednes- day night on NBC, isn't enough to satisfy the fans.

All eyes are on the

House of Martin these

days -can Alice and Tony

beat Hollywood's handicaps?

IT'S not just that I want to make as much money as Alice does," said Tony Martin. "It's not that I want more fame, more personal glory. It's just that we've drawn a pattern for our lives and it's up to me, as the man of the house, to see that it works out." And there, in a few words, is the explanation of the burning ambition which has consumed Tony Martin since his marriage, a year ago, to Alice Faye. It has manifested itself in different ways, this ambition. In Tony's appearance in the office of his No. 1 boss, Darryl Zanuck, chief of the Twentieth Century - Fox film studios, where he demanded: "When am I going to'get a really good part? I've served my ap- prenticeship. I've been in three football pictures already. I'm only eligible for one more. Give me something big to do. I can do it!" And again -in the NBC studio where comedian George Burns and his staff of writers prepare the scripts for the Burns and Allen radio show: "Why don't you give me some

lines next week? . . . I've already learned my song. Learn a dialect? Sure. What do you want? Mexi- can? It's a cinch." And still again, in the office of his agent, Nat Goldstone, where he pounded on the desk and pleaded: "Twelve weeks off at the studio -nine weeks off the air! Get me something to do during my vacation. I can't just sit around!" A year ago, Tony wouldn't have 7 @oentieth Century-Fox By PAULINE SWANSON

been so eager to work away his play time. He was a pretty happy -go -lucky sort of kid then. His salary, though far below the star -brackets, was good enough to permit him to keep pace Comfortably with his friends. As for his future, he probably could go along as he was in films, not a big star, but coming along. If that blew up, he could always go back to his old love, the saxophone, and lead a band. Where was the fire? What was the rush? But that was a year ago. That was before September 5, 1937, when Tony eloped to Yuma with Alice Faye and the whole business of living took on a different shape. Tony had expected some problems to arise from his marriage to one of Hollywood's brightest younger stars. He and Alice had talked it over before they surprised Hollywood -and A year ago Alice cut their the rest of the country -with news wedding cake, and today ...? of their "week -end marriage." "I'm not making much money - not in the Hollywood sense, anyway," he told her. Alice mocked his seriousness. "I'm not marrying you for your money, Tony," she laughed. But Tony wasn't laughing. "I'm old- fashioned enough to think a man should support his wife. Are you willing to live on my salary ?" If Alice Faye had answered that question differently, the cynics who gave the Faye- Martin marriage six weeks might have been more accurate in their predictions. But Alice wanted her marriage to last, and she thought she knew how to make it work. "I'm old- fashioned, too," she said. "We'll live on your income. I'll meet a few personal obligations -and put the rest of my money in the bank. (Continued on page 76) ""T' . TM GRAM ALIEN MURDCK CAS6

The story thus far: before the strange events on the night of May 18, Philo Vance had de- EVENcided to visit the Cafe Domdaniel -an apparently innocent New York restaurant which the police nevertheless suspected of being a criminal center. Sergeant Heath, of the District Attorney's office, had his eye on the Domdaniel too, believing that Benny the Buzzard, a recently escaped criminal who had threatened District Attorney Markham's life, might attempt a visit to Daniel Mirche, the Domdaniel's pro- prietor. But on the afternoon of May 18, Vance and his faithful companion, S. S. Van Dine, took a motor ride in the country-and there they met Gracie Allen, standing at the side of the road and staring angrily after a speeding car from which a tossed cigarette had burned a hole in her new dress. Vance, amused by Gracie's artless prattle, invented a story that he had just murdered a man and made her promise not to tell. He chatted with her for a while, never dreaming he would ever see her again. But that night, in the Domdaniel, the first person he and Van Dine saw was Gracie with Mr. Puttle, a salesman for the In -O -Scent perfume factory where Gracie worked, while George Burns, a chemist for the same firm, glowered jealously in the corner. Gracie told Vance that she had come to see her brother, who worked in the Domdaniel as a dish -washer, and try to persuade him not to quit his job. Another guest at the Domdaniel that night was the famous gangland leader, "Owl" Owen -whom Mirche elaborately denied knowing when Vance questioned him.

FOR DEANNA

A sensational young star reaches "That Certain Age," when romance

and a boy friend are the really important things to think about

ANEW and significant chapter is being added to the career of radio's own discovery, Deanna Durbin. For the little girl has become a young woman, and in her new picture, "That Certain Age," she falls in love for the first time. (In fact, she falls in love twice for the first time, although only one of her sweethearts is shown on these pages, in the person of Jackie Cooper, opposite.) And, as the story of her pictured self keéps step with her own growth, it's impossible not to wonder: how long will it be before the real - life Deanna, having reached That Certain Age, falls in love herself?

:AK IS Charlie McCarthy's supremacy as radio's top comedian threatened by another dummy- another little man made out of wood, paint, and the fertile brain of Edgar Bergen? Bergen says no. But there are certain facts which will bear looking into. The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a -gley, and maybe, with the best intentions in the world, Bergen has started something he can't finish. The new dummy's name is Mor- timer- Mortimer Snerd. Definitely, he lacks Charlie's polish and savoir faire; he's a simple little country bumpkin and not a gay boule- vardier. He has buck teeth, a prominent Adam's apple, and a brain that doesn't move any too quickly, poor thing. But he has a charm all his own. And already Charlie is well aware that he must look to his own laurels. He proved that by his distant attitude when Mortimer made his movie debut in Universal's "Letter of Introduction" and succeeded in stealing the scene which he and Charlie played together. Charlie is obviously worried. Mortimer is not really a new arrival on the scene. Several years ago, when Bergen was in vaudeville, Mortimer was part of his act, going under the name of Elmer. Since radio brought Bergen and Charlie to new heights of fame, however,

Should a top- hatted dandy like Charlie McCarthy ... IYMNUE ,f*aqRm7

Charlie takes revenge on Mortimer Snerd with a fiendish torture of the "hot- foot."

32 Elmer -Mortimer has been very much in the background -until "Letter of Introduction," when he appeared on the screen with a new paint job and a new name. Bergen's explanation of Mortimer is that he is strictly a film actor, revived to perform as a foil for Charlie in future pictures, and will not go on the air at all. This ought to make Charlie rest easier in his suit -case at night. On the other hand, if the reaction of audiences who have seen "Letter of Introduction" is any yard- stick, Bergen isn't going to be able to keep Mortimer off the air -people won't be satisfied with seeing him in occasional movies, and are going to demand a chance to hear him. Meanwhile, Charlie hides his troubled heart behind the gay mask of a great Hollywood star. On these pages you see him as he receives the mark of cinema immortality -the cherished privilege of leaving his foot -prints and hand -prints embedded in the pavements of i the court at Grauman's Chinese Theater. Also, Charlie comforts himself with the reflection that he is still the unique and unre- placeable Charlie McCarthy. A few years ago Bergen commissioned a wood carver to make him another Charlie, exactly like the present one, for use in case of fire, flood, shipwreck or similar catastrophe. After several tries, the wood carver had to admit failure. He couldn't recapture the typical McCarthy impudence, vivacity, nonchalance or whatever it is that makes Charlie great. And now Bergen knows that if anything ever happens to Charlie, there will never be another one like him. Perhaps -and here is something for Master McCarthy to worry over-this is one reason why he has brought Mortimer out of obscurity. Alt

Stations along the East coast, W2GOQ, and W2UK, and THE WSL. HAIRBRUSH Everything was going fine until the plane began pushing its nose out over the Atlantic. Stoddart suddenly realized something was wrong. He discovered the trailing antenna had come loose. It was whipping crazily around in the wind, as it trailed far out behind the ship. It was an antenna Stoddart had especially designed for the trip. Most antennae on planes are stationary, but this one had been built to give better reception, and floated free in the air behind the plane. 1. I said somethin' a couple of weeks Now it had come loose, and the only chance to save antenna reception was ago that made Morn so hopping mad, to release the emergency antenna. I almost caught a licking. But first, the crippled antenna had to be put out of commission. Stoddart left his controls to per - form the ticklish job. "It was rather tricky and perilous," Stoddart said, smiling, "but I'd rather not say any more than that." Stoddart saying that it was tricky and perilous meant that it was a good deal more than that, but he worked feverishly at it for an hour or more until he could release the emergency antenna.

Lawrence might be the Uncrowned King of Arabia to Sir Ronald Storrs, but he was just another unknown archeologist to the world, until Thomas began selling the story. And even then Lawrence was not exactly a household word when Lowell arrived in Paris, after the war, with his Lawrence epic and his motion pictures. He was impatient to get home. He knew he had something colossal in this Lawrence saga, and it had to be done with all the lugs. The place to get the lugs was New York. He sailed there. So he took what was left of the seventy thousand dollars and shot it all on hiring the biggest white elephant in New York, the Century r Theater. The show did well, but was not a panic in New York.

Alice tries to soothe his injured feelings by dragging out old scrap books full of reviews which were equally unkind to her when she was making her early strides in pictures, but the slight still rankles. "If I get a great part, and I'm still `just adequate,' they're right," Tony storms. "But how could I be more than just adequate when I've never had anything important to do ?" Once after one of his review -reading sessions, Tony went to Darryl Zanuck's office. "I'm bad," he said. "Look here. This reviewer thinks so. And this one. And this one. I've been in fifteen pictures and they still think I'm rotten. Why don't you tear up my contract ?" "Tony," Zanuck told him. "You can't buy your contract for a million dollars. Take it easy. You'll get to the top, but you have to get there gradually just like your wife did. Learn to be- patient." Tony is learning patience. He's taken up golf because "you have to stop and consider before each stroke." He's working out unusual arrangements for the songs he sings on the Burns and Allen broadcast. He's taken a band out on the road during his vacation and played one -night stands. "And when I come back," Tony said before he left, "I expect my big chance will be waiting for me.

BILL CURRIN, Like Most of the Other Independent Tobacco Experts, Smokes luckies

Mr. Smoker: You say most of these tobacco experts smoke Luckies? Mr. Lucky Strike: Yes, 2 to 1 over all other brands combined. Sworn records, open to the public, prove it. Mr. Smoker: How many of these tobacco experts work for you? Mr. L. S.: Not one! They're all independent tobacco men. Auctioneers, buyers, and warehousemen. Mr. Smoker: Are these men the best judges of tobacco?

Mr. L. S.: You bet they are ! Just for example, there's Bill Currin. He's been an auctioneer for 16 years, and has sold millions of pounds of tobacco. Mr. Smoker: Currin smokes Luckies? WITNESSED STATEMENT SERIES: Mr. L. S.: Yes -and has for 15 years. Not Bill Auctioneer -has only for their fine tobacco, but because of Currin- the "Toasting" process. smoked Luckies for 15 years Mr. Smoker: What does that do? Mr. L. S.: It takes out certain harsh irri- tants found in all tobacco -makes Luckies a light smoke, easy on the throat. Mr. Smoker: That sounds good, to me. I'll try them.
