Patt Barnes and his daughter, Barbara she represents the younger generation on his WJZ show.

A NEW TWIST

Patt Barnes, the genial WJZ wit who used to be known as "the man with a thousand voices," today admits, "The thousand voices stuff was really over- rated. I only had about 150." As a matter of fact, the first electrical transcription ever made for radio was written, directed and had all characters acted by Patt. During the first World War, as an enlistee from his home town of Sharon, Pennsylvania, Patt produced, wrote, directed, and played the leading role in a gigantic troop revue entitled "A Buck on Leave." During its American tour, Patt was invited to sing over KDKA and was heard only by owners of the first ear-phone sets in Pittsburgh. Later, in 1926 and 1927, he was the first broadcaster to win both the gold and silver cups awarded by Radio Digest. "As for that hitch-hiking 't' at the end of my first name," Patt says, "about eight years ago, I emceed a New York coast-to-coast revue, The Good Old Days. During the first warm-up a voice from the audience called out, 'How come the double t?' I turned around, and there on the stage was the huge banner with my name spelled wrong. I gagged about it and it drew laughs so I stood pat on Patt." Patt's latest first, a new twist on his old format, is considered his most effective program idea. Each Fri- day he takes his Barnes Table to the New York land- mark, Cavanagh's restaurant, on West Twenty-third Street, where he plays host to mayors of neighboring New York localities. Besides instilling community spirit into his show, this gives Gothamites an idea of 1918: General Pershing with Sergeant Barnes life on the other side of the bridges. who impersonated him in a World War I show. — SPIEGEL SERVING AMERICAN FAMILIES SINCE 1865 FREE TRIAL OFFER

I Relaxing by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel was fun for the Vines but what they enjoyed most about their stay at the hotel was the leisurely breakfast served to them in their room every morning.

What followed as a reward was a series of great days for the Vines: accommodations at the lovely Beverly Hills Hotel, dining and dancing at elegant spots along the Strip, shopping at I. Magnin's Beverly Hills store (the Vine children were especially delighted with this part for they were allowed to wander unrestrained through the toy department) and the use of a new car for transportation. Other winnings, in addition to the usual week's interest on a million dollars, included a TV set and record player, and luggage. Dick, who has appeared in light operettas, studied music at night, hopes to become a singing star. All he needs now is that one big break.

Old Saddlebags—otherwise John Eisenberger—rides the radio range M-F on WBEN.

GNOME ON THE RANGE

Mention the name of Old Saddlebags in Buffalo, New York, and everyone knows you mean John Eisenberger, a tall, thin and terrific cowboy character who rides the radio range five days a week over WBEN. While Old Saddlebags builds his daily program on cactus- pointed remarks and sage (brush) satire, he puts the accent on western and hillbilly styled melodies. Chronologically, John Eisenberger is in his fifteenth year in radio, having started as a member of the "High Hatters"—a trio comprised of Elmer Hattenberger, who is now a successful singer in Florida night clubs, and Bob Smith, today's TV-genius of NBC's Howdy Doody Show. That was in 1935 and the trio's greatest accomplishment was winning an amateur contest sponsored by Kate Smith and, following this, they appeared on sev-

eral of her programs. ! : Later, Johnny and Buffalo Bob teamed up for a comedy act under the name of "Jack and Gill" and were featured on the Columbia Broadcasting System for two straight years. John then joined Happy Felton's Finders Keepers Show on the NBC network as a combination song and dance entertainer. Eventually he joined the cast of radio's Cheer Up Gang on Mutual and remained with the show for a year-and-a-half before accepting a comedy part in a Broadway production called the "Girl from Nantucket." The show folded after a short run and Johnny returned to radio work. Just a year ago, he joined the Buffalo station. Johnny's ambition still is to play in a successful Broadway musical, but in the meantime, he's putting all his dramatic and comic ability into portraying Old Saddlebags on WBEN Monday through Friday at noon for all cowboy-minded Buffalonians. L l;d

John as himself. Off-mike, he looks like a successful business executive.

Every Monday through Saturday from 11:05 P. M. to 2:30 A. M., WPEN's Kal Ross hits the Philadelphia airwaves from the Kal Ross Lounge of the Latin Casino. Formerly the Circus Lounge, it was renamed for Kal because of the wonderful job he is doing for his sponsor. Kal Ross is twenty-five years old and hails from New Rochelle, New York. He has made radio a part of his life, beginning at the age of eight when he played juvenile roles in Let's Pretend. Along with his radio work, he studied dramatics and got his first break in the Broadway production "The American Way," starring Fredric March. From the theater he returned to radio, until he graduated from high school. In 1943 he entered Syracuse University where he enrolled in the School of Speech and Dramatic Arts, and it was then that he joined WOLF and WSYR as a disc jockey and part-time staff announcer. At these stations he gained sufficient experience for "big time" radio work and in 1944 he enlisted in the Maritime Service, where his talent was recognized—he narrated the Maritime show, We Deliver The Goods, for CBS. In 1946 he returned to Syracuse University. While finishing college, Kal was associated with WNDR and WHEN-TV and became Syracuse's first television sports- caster, doing University basketball on TV for the '48-'49 season. In 1949 he graduated and went to WPWA in Chester, Pennsylvania. Eight months ago, WPEN's Program Director, Jules Rind heard Kal on WPWA and brought him to WPEN to do part-time sports broadcasting, namely basketball and special events. Due to the excellent job he did, and because of his past experience, Ross received his own show. As a part of his three-hour program, Kal interviews celebrities from the sports world and show business and chats informally with his listeners via telephone. Ross is essentially a commentator, not a deejay, although he does spin about five records over a three and one-half hour span to break up the constant chatter. He reviews books, plays, motion pictures, and enjoys the reputation of "Philadelphia's friendly critic." This does Because he spins so few discs on the air Kal en- not mean that Ross pulls his punches—if he is not pleased joys hearing his own record collection at home. with what he is reviewing he lets his audience know, but he does so in a friendly manner.

artists who dream of Broadway, Radio City and Hollywood. Our aim is to

help make your dream come true.

If you pass our audition, you will be seen and heard on radio and

television by millions of people. If the radio audience responds well,

you go out in a unit and begin the first, real phase of your professional

career. And if you're among the three top winners in June, you win a cash

scholarship to further your talents.

But in the letters received at our New York office we know that you have many different questions and problems concerned with the Original

Amateur Hour and show business in general. In this memo, I hope to take

these questions one by one, and answer them honestly and fully.

First, How does a person know whether she or her child is good enough

to audition?

You know in your heart that show business is your life or believe it

to be the destiny of your child. But are you ready? The best way to find

out is from a professional teacher. Knowing the capabilities and progress

of a student, the teacher can determine when you're ready to get behind

footlights. Often he can save heartaches by delaying an audition until you

are fully prepared. But this is not the only way. (Continued on page 90) —

governor-elect of the state, Miles Nelson has to As devote an inordinate amount of time to his business affairs; when he takes office, Carolyn realizes, he will have to devote even more. And what, then, can Carolyn expect in the way of a home life—so long needed—for herself and for Skippy? If, now, he can give to her and Skippy only such scraps of his time as are left over when duties are done, will he have any time at all for them later? Can there be happiness in such a marriage? Can Carolyn have the quiet kind of happiness that she so passionately desires for herself and her son, if she marries Miles Nelson? Most important to Carolyn at the moment is the distressing behavior problems of Skippy, her little boy. The years during which Carolyn struggled to obtain full custody of the boy from her ex-husband, Dwight Kramer, may have, she fears, left Skippy with a deep sense of insecurity. Carolyn knows that time, plus security, will make things right for Skippy again—but will marriage to Miles give Carolyn the kind of home she needs in which to build up that security for Skippy? Or will Miles be so wedded to his important job that theirs will be a home without the companionship and the love that will spell security to the little boy?

The furnace needs tending, but a call to Nels goes unheeded. "I don't know what's of all, I think those days most of got into that boy lately," says Mama. "¥|ut most when back on — ti all, I remember Mama!" In fondly recalling life in San Francisco in the early 1900's, Katrin Hansen doesn't neglect memories of her papa or her brother Nels or her little sister Dagmar. But it was the wise and sympathetic Mama whose influence was most keenly felt in the happy home on Steiner Street and—through indirection—in other homes. There was the time, for instance, when Mama saved the church organist, Miss Wilcox, from expulsion. Some of the parishioners thought it was indecent that Miss Wilcox had a side job as pianist in the Bijou Dreamland, the local movie house. Miss Wilcox needed this extra income if she and her fiance were to marry. But the parish busybodies thought movies were an unhealthy influence ("people go blind from watching them; all actresses are hussies") and that no one connected with them should be connected with the church. Miss Wilcox's secret side employ- ment was inadvertently exposed by Nels, who spent a great deal of his own unaccounted for time in the depths of the Bijou. It was Mama who found a way to quell the busybodies' objections and to save Miss Wilcox's two jobs. This episode from Mama was posed especially for the readers of Radio and Television Mirror.

there is one striking quality about the Don McNeill story If it is its "normalcy." Take Don away from his radio show and you are left with the portrait of a man who could be your own husband or neighbor or boss. The McNeill rise to fame lacks the usual tatters to taxes element of the success story; the McNeill personality lacks the erratic qualities which many performers preserve in order to appear "colorful;" and the McNeill marriage, blessed as it is with three sons, is the kind of marriage you could find in any comfortable American suburb. Perhaps this very quality of "normalcy" is the real secret of the McNeill success story. People may admire the extraordinary, but they rarely love it. This is not to say that Don isn't extraordinary. But despite his gifts—his intelligence and humor and charm—he maintains one very unusual quality indeed. And that is this: he never fails to understand people.

56 A PRAYER TIME CONTEST YOU CAN ENTER

Don McNeill's Prayer Time, a brief moment of silent devotion on each pro-

gram, is a simple thing, yet it has a powerful philosophy. Don doesn't preach, nor does he devote his moment of faith to any particular religion, class or race. The moment of silent prayer was introduced on Breakfast Club in

1944 and at first much discussion arose because various religious groups felt prayer was out of place on an entertainment program. But Don believed in

it and now, after conducting Prayer Time for five years he's been awarded citations by almost every religious organization in existence.

Or the woman who wrote that she and her husband had decided to get a divorce when she heard Don offer the moment of silent prayer for families separated because of misunderstandings. "That

sounded like it was meant for us. The following evening my husband returned. Thank you. Don, that was the guiding hand we needed." How has Prayer Time affected you?

stay peaceably at your own table. I went to so many

picnics last Summer that when I got home I ate in the closet for three days.

TUESDAY—Alma Googert stopped in today for a cup of tea. Land sokes! that woman can stay longer in half an hour than most people can in three weeks.

WEDNESDAY—Took pity on Ed Kennicut and brought over an apple pie. He looked hungry, poor man. He says Nettie treats him just like a Greek god. She sets a burnt offering in front of him every noon.

THURSDAY—Things sort of get too much for Hettie Hornbuckle, what with her husband and the furnace. When she watches one, the other goes out.

There's only one thing about being a member of the Breakfast Club "family" that Patsy Lee finds disappointing—she can spend only two weeks out of every year with her own family, in California. To make up for that as far as she can, Patsy has an apartment in Chicago, does her own cooking and housework—even her own washing and ironing of such items as dresses and blouses! When she first joined the Breakfast Club, Patsy lived in a hotel, ate her meals in restaurants, spent a great deal more money than she does now—and was thoroughly miserable besides. Only since she acquired her two and a half rooms, decorated them to her own liking, has she felt at home. Among her neighbors, who add to the small- town atmosphere of the neighborhood, are Johnny Desmond and his wife, Fran Allison and her husband, Archie Leving- ton. Here's how the place which makes Patsy feel at home looks: Three walls of the living room are painted a blue with a purplish cast. One wall and the matching drapes are print, in a French ascension balloon pattern, purple and blue figures on white background.

MARRIAGE— It's a wonderful institution. No family

should be without it . . . There are few women who take up the law, but there are plenty who lay it

down . . . It's not what a woman says that hurts so

much, it's the number of times she says it . . . It's a well-known fact that puppy-love is the beginning

of a dog's life . . . Men who say they are boss in their own homes usually lie about other things, too ... A horse is usually a horse, but a woman can also be a nag ... In marriage, he who hesitates is

bossed . . . It's a well-known fact among husbands that a word to the wife is never sufficient.

MOTHERS-IN-LAW—Living with your mother-in-law

is like taking a bath; after a while it isn't so hot . . .

A mother-in-law is a puzzle with cross words . . . It's a known fact that in-laws cause more trouble than out- laws ... A mother-in-law is a gestapo in bloomers.

MANNERS—Women drivers can be very healthy and

still take a turn for the worse . . . Children's ears are like shovels; they sure can pick up a lot of dirt ... A reducing expert is a person who lives on the

fat of the land . . . Going on a diet is simply the triumph of mind over platter ... It is a well-known fact that when the human body is immersed in water,

Patsy's week-day routine seldom varies, and the whole thing is regulated by the fact that Breakfast Club gets under way so early in the morning. At six-fifteen, her first alarm goes off. This is a sort of warning signal that there's very little snoozing time left. At six-forty the second one rings, and this time there's no fooling—she's got to get up. First moves are to put the kettle on for her morning cup of tea, pour herself a glass of orange juice, and give Amber, the cat, her breakfast. Then a shower. Alternately drinking orange juice and tea, Patsy scurries around the apartment, finishing her dressing, checking copies of music for the morning show, hurrying through other last-minute details which sometimes include ironing a blouse! At five minutes past seven, she gets into the taxi that waits for her each morning and rides to ABC's Civic Studio, getting there about seven- fifteen. Conferences with Cliff Peterson and Eddie Ballantine fill the time until First Call For Breakfast. After the show there's an autograph- ing session, the breakfast with the cast. From nine forty-five until eleven rehearsal for tomorrow's program. Afterwards, shopping or lunch until two, then it's rehearsal for TV Club. After that, fittings, hairdresser appoint- ments.

TIME

The Don McNeill TV Club has been a big show ever since ABC cameras were first turned on it last September. But close friends of the Breakfast Club cast recognize it as an elabora- tion of the high jinks which have always happened when this crowd of versatile, volatile guys and girls meet at someone's home. Gen- Johnny Desmond, peering over cameraman's shoulder, has uinely fond of each other, they have always to see exactly where he will be when picture found their own entertainment in clowning, goes' out. practical jokes and skits which utilize their many talents. Now offering the public a production number view of what occurs at their private parties, they include for good measure a few familiar Breakfast Club features. As these pictures show you, they have fun backstage as well as in front of the cameras. Even gag- writers, usually serious and hardworking, catch the spirit of the McNeill crew and have fun. Women's clubs on an outing (see picture at left) enjoy the TV Club even more than the Breakfast Club, for they don't have to get up so early to go to it. And their families can watch them swap gags with Don and Sam. People chosen from the audience play an important part on TV Club. The whole cast sums up its new experience in words that echo down many a television studio corridor: "Radio was never like this!"

Ed, wife Frances, and children, Ted, twenty-three, Barbara, eighteen, and Betty, fourteen, have all pitched together to make it "a home the way we want it to be."

Once, when a glance through the door showed him this was one of Don's remote days, Sam went to the prop room, put on a pair of overalls, picked up a broom, returned to Don's office and began to sweep. Within minutes, they were laughing uproariously and swapping puns. Such things set up at Breakfast Club more of a family attitude than a business office situation, and it reaches its peak on birthdays. You've never seen a group of adults who pay so much attention to birthdays. As you might expect, the whole gang loves surprise parties.

How to Win! (Continued from page 29)

Perhaps you remember Willie Smith, raised in a North Carolina orphanage. His only teacher was the nickering image of Bill Robinson in the cinema. But when Willie's young buddies told him he was ready, Willie hitchhiked to New York for an audition and he was sensational. And there were and are others, hundreds of whom reached the ladder of success without professional coaching or encouragement. So when you know from your teacher or your friends- or in your heart that the time has arrived, let us audition you. We are friends and want to help

Can anyone audition? Not everyone. You must be an amaI! teur. The fact that you have given public performances does not in itself disqualify you. But if you have received payments and earned your livelihood in whole from professional entertainment, then you are no longer an amateur. Then, too, New York state laws pro- hibit us from presenting children under the age of seven and acrobats under sixteen years. But there are no other restrictions and no ceiling on age. The late Major Bowes once said, "An entertainer is never too late and never too old for show business." We have many noted examples of older people who have appeared on the Original Amateur Hour and their personal reasons are quite different from those of the youngsters. There was Huey Kong, who sang with a unit several years, long enough to save. enough money to open his own restaurant. Herbert. Urbach auditioned at the age of forty-five, after his career as an Indianapolis speed driver had ended when he lost a leg in an accident. Sur- Hawfe took Jometer prisingly, he had worked up a routine as a dancer and was so good he began a new career as an entertainer. So as long as you're an amateur and not too young, you are welcome to audition.

"I had more of these cups, but I got rid of them when I was clearing out a lot of my good things. I rented the apartment for a couple of years, and didn't want to leave them around.

It's not for nothing that Daddy's radio program is called Father Knows Best. He sure does. He's a picture star and a radio star, but somehow we never think of him as a celebrity. We're always amused when people act like he is. I remember once when Barbara and I were much younger, we saw him cornered on a street in Beverly Hills while a group of kids pounced on him for his autograph. "What's an autograph?" Barbara asked him. Then, "Why do they want yours?" Daddy told her it was just an idea some people had. They got these bright-covered autograph books and they went around asking their friends to sign them, so that they could keep the signatures to remember their friends by.
