WILLIAM S. PALEY DISTINGUISHED

Critics of radio have complained recently that our major networks are hide -bound, conservative, and controlled by stick -in- the -mud poli- cies. They have asserted that experimental or radical ideas of enter- tainment have been ruled of the air. To answer these second -guessing gentlemen, we can point to many a network program. In particular, to one sponsored by the Columbia Broadcasting System. This program is called "In the Modern Manner." Its director is a restless, robust young man named Johnny Green. Elsewhere in this issue we have told the story of his rebellion against the cardboard kings of today's musical monarchy. His is the program with which we answer radio's critics. In the Modern Manner'. is noteworthy because it is evidence of a RADIO STARS

major network's desire to experiment with modern forms of music. That their experiment is sincere is proven by the pains and expense to which they have gone in order that Johnny Green's musical ideas may reach your ears and mine. Now, this unusual program has become much more than an experimenter's plaything. It has become vital with the moods and meanings inherent in the modern scene. Thus, the pleasant task of awarding our monthly medal is two -fold. First, we commend to you William S. Paley, youthful president of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and Program Director Julius F. Seebach for having the courage to entrust weighty responsibilities to a young musical rebel. Sec-. ond, we salute that young rebel for giving us music both modern and musical. So, to Johnny Green and his "In the Modern Manner" program we present our August Award for Distinguished Service to Radio.

Let's look at what he bought. We've told you about the flimsy contracts that held the network together, about the half million dollar debt. Now, what does a man need when he sets himself up as a hopeful network impressario? Well, in the first place. he needs studios. In the second, he needs talent, In the third. he needs sponsors to pay him for the use of those studios and that talent. : \nd in the fourth, he needs radio stations with which to broadcast the ad- vertising messages of his sponsors. Of all these things, William Paley had practically none. That matter of studios, r for instance.

CHAIRS have a peculiar fas- cination for Edith Murray. She claims they may be used to stand on, too. It all began when way back fifteen years ago the dear teacher stood little "Eadie" on a chair before her wide - eyed classmates and told her to sing. She did. And long before she finished college, she ran away to join a mus- ical comedy. This entertaining little Amer- ican made her first professional bow in a show in Montreal. But before she got to the bow, her songs evaporated into thin air in a fit of stage fright. To cover up, instead of bursting into tears, she went into a dance. It got over big and rated a couple of big bows. Later, she formed her town act which headlined the theatres on the RKO circuit for over a year. So good was she that her name attracted the attention of talent hunters and pro- ducers and she was soon engaged for a stage run in London. Returning to America, the movies signed her for a number of shorts. Now, you hear Edith late at night over the Columbia networks. She puts that Spanish "something" into her indigo tones, which makes for a welcome difference in popular song interpretations. When Eadie isn't at the studios, you will find her, rain or shine, astride a horse or knock- ing a ball around a golf course. During vaca- tion, she hustles to the country. 48 RADIO STARS

7LIIS attractive gel used to be Mar- garet Vegas. A little lass from the south who came to New York and ex- pected Broadway to sit up and take notice. Broadway did, too, but not until a singer had a fit of temper, quit her job and put the orchestra leader in a spot. That maestro was George Hall. The show had to go on. It went on with Loretta Lee, alias M. V., whom he discovered trilling away in a dingy music house a few hours before his broadcast went on the air. So, she became "Loretta Lee, the Louisiana levee singer." Fame and fortune are queer ladies, she remarks, for the day before her name was ballyhooed in print and over the air waves, Loretta was just another poor little homesick kid who was discovering that career- carving had to be chiseled out of granite and not fleecy dreams of success. She had been bitten with the stage urge when a youngster in rompers. perhaps because she was always the star per- former at the neighborhood parties. Any- way the desire lasted, until now she has achieved her own niche in the entertainment world. During the summer, she tours with George Hall's Orchestra.

Perhaps you have won- dered at the startling similarity between this pretender's voice and Bing's own.

THE man Bing desires to succeed him is Bob Crosby, Bing's twenty -two- year -old brother, who sings nowanights in Chicago with Anson Week's orchestra. "The kid hasn't got his high notes right yet." Bing says. "But when they are and he's ready for ray job, I'm stepping out." As this is written, Dixie Lee is about to become the mother of Bing's second child.

Men more potent and powerful than this smooth - voiced singer of songs have broken them- selves on the unyielding rocks of Fate. If his time comes, I wonder what Bing Crosby will do. I. for one, have faith in the Gods that long ago marked him for their own. I, for one. believe that Bing's plan and Bing's will shall prevail. He will have his ranch and his family and the time and means to enjoy them all to the utmost. Whether or not he succeeds in naming his successor, he will step up from his niche as radio's wonder boy to become his own ideal of husband, father, and master of the art of living.
