A WAY WITH THE WOMEN

Radio was responsible for this marriage: Marble and Doris met at WCAU, where she was organist and he was program director.

Harry Marble's first success in radio was' at a desk job—but the lure of speaking over the air was too much for him, with the result that today he's a very busy fellow before the mike at WCBS, New York's key station of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Mornings six days a week find Marble passing the chatter with Margaret Arlen; evenings, from 5:30 to 6:00 P.M., he emcees WCBS's cross-the-board quiz show, Hits and Misses. In addition, several other network assignments make him one of the airwaves' busiest, best-known and best-liked announcers. Marble was born in Brownsville, Maine, January 11, 1905. The family moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, and Marble completed his schooling there. His acting in high school and amateur productions aroused a desire for a theatrical career, so, against the admonition of his parents who wanted him to enter college, he headed straight for the footlights. Marble broke into radio as an announcer at a local Boston station in 1937 and only six months later he became a program director at WCAU, CBS's station in Philadelphia. The monotony of a desk job kept haunting him, and in September, 1941, Marble left Philadelphia to come to CBS, New York, as an announcer. The army took over his career in October, 1942. He was Six mornings a week, Marble shares the con- graduated from Officer Candidate School and was a second lieutenant when honorably in versation with Margaret Arlen on her WCBS discharged from service No- vember, 1943. Since that time he has been constantly in news and interview show designed for women. demand as a top-flight announcer. ! !

I played it safe by telling Mrs. Sankey that if and when Joy left the hospital, we'd like to have a little party for her. Joy had been in the hospital for five months when she showed up at Welcome Travelers, along with her mother, Mrs. Remmert, Mrs. Sankey and the president of Racine Shrine, Mr. Rell Barrett. Her child-like beauty almost knocked me off my feet. She was excited, a little awed, but happy as a child can be. She spoke of skating and of riding a bicycle She glowed as she paid tribute to the nurses at the hospital and she reached out to pat Mrs. Remmert's hand whenever she got a chance. Mrs. Genunzio wanted to give full credit to the Shrine hospital for crippled children—to tell the world what a wonderful work the hospital does was the only thing that induced her to bring Joy to Welcome Travelers. It was great fun to plan Joy's "coming out" party. We put a car and chauffeur at her disposal and sent her to one of Chicago's smartest restaurants for lunch. Then she went to the zoo, because she'd expressed a desire to see "Bushman," a gorilla. There was a theater party where Joy saw her Wt/kiW it^^wifc^ first musical comedy and then a dinner.

IT PAYS TO BE

Although he hardly considers himself a prophet, WTOP announcer Lee Vickers for the past sixteen years or so has wisely kept his ear to the ground studying courses and pursuing hobbies according to what he's heard, and the results have been amazingly prophetic. During his undergraduate days at Duke University near his home in Durham, North Carolina, Lee took extensive courses in languages, but his major was physics and he minored in mathematics. His more technical studies culminated in a postgraduate course in physical optics, something of a novelty, inasmuch as Vickers was still an undergraduate at the time. Some months after graduation in 1933 he entered radio, not as a technician, but as an announcer for WDNC. Lee's background in physics stood him in good stead, for it didn't take him long to realize that he had a decided advantage over the ordinary announcer. He not only understood what happened in front of a mike; he also had a pretty good idea of what went on in the thousand and one "gadgets" that serve to keep a radio station on the air. Leaving WDNC in 1938, Lee took up his announcing duties at Washington's present 50,000-watt CBS affiliate, WTOP. As his number one hobby, Lee chose a movie camera. With its intermittent sprockets and multiple high quality lenses, his sixteen millimeter camera incorporated and applied in a very practical way virtually all of the technical principles he had studied so avidly Lee is looking forward to color television, in in college. This was a very interesting hobby, but which he will be able to combine his vocation, seemingly had no connection with radio. announcing, with his avocation, color movies. The coming of television, however, changed all that. With its principles of applied physical optics, television has combined his vocation and his avocation—announcing and filming motion pictures. And the prophetic Vickers story still isn't over. When color television finally arrives on a commercial scale, Lee will be all set for that too: His thousands of feet of film are all in full color! 1<5 . 6ertfie luxurious Bid BATH SIZE!

RADIO'S OWN LIFE STORY

The refunds to advertisers were stag- gering. Later many of the analysts were sponsored, but at first the networks poured in time and talent at their own expense. New names came up fast and so did a new style. Until this year, listeners could nearly always spot the beginning of the commercial by the unctuous, mellifluous tones of the professional announcer. Now, overnight, what was said, not how, was the important thing. The following built by Elmer Davis is an example. When that grainy voice took the air, it marked the end of the richly dulcet delivery so stylish to this time. There were a lot of new words on the air in those days: materiel, communique, terrain and jawcrackers like "procurement, acti- vate and implement" for "buy", and "get" and "use." This fancy talk reached its full flower in the blackout signs, "Illumination is required to be extinguished on these premises, etc." So it is no wonder that radio called its authorities "commentators" rather than the simple and more logical "corn- mentors." No matter how they were labelled, the voices of Major George Fielding Elliott, Eric Sevareid, John B. Ken- nedy, Quincy Howe, Vandeventer, Ga- briel Heatter, Raymond Gram Swing, Baukage and so many other brilliant men became an indispensable part of the daily life of the nation. On the lighter side of radio, two novelties of the year were to change the whole aspect of air entertainment. One was the arrival of the first really mammoth give-away show, Pot O' Gold. The other was a little advertising jingle:

Pepsi-Cola hits the spot, Twelve full ounces, that's a lot. Twice as much for a nickel, too. Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you.

The singing commercial had been known almost as long as radio, but this little rhyme turned it into a show Tonight! . . . Show him how much lovelier in itself. Following the Pepsi-Cola jingle, scores of advertisers turned to what is known as the spot announce- your hair can look . . . after a ment—a minute or so on the air between shows sponsored by others.

While Johnny Philip Morris looks on, Colonel Allan Reed, commanding officer of the Weisbaden Military Post, greets Horace and Adaline Heidt at the start of the month's tour of Europe and North Africa during which the Heidt crew gave nineteen three-hour performances.

When the history of the post-war period is written, some rather hep scholars may put down one large footnote all about America's Second Army of Occupation. They will talk

about a troupe instead of troops . . . and the name most mentioned will be Horace Heidt. It all happened this spring when Horace and his sixty bouncy kids hit Europe and North Africa and captured the hearts of every Amer- ican stationed overseas. It wasn't very difficult although they have some of the world's greatest entertainment at their command in Europe, American GI's are still American GI's—and the desire for homegrown fun, music and even corn was just too much. For the Heidt troupe the overseas entertainment engagement was a regular military movement. Sixty of the singers, dancers, musicians and acts Heidt discovered in his 100,000 mile tour through the United States piled into two C-54 Air Force planes in California one grey Saturday morning—and (Continued on page 24)

Unbeatable Combination

PEN's famed 950 Club got its start in May of 1945, and from the beginning it has constantly drawn large studio W audiences and its listeners are growing steadily. Even though the unbeatable combination of emcees Joe Grady and Ed Hurst slant their 950 Club to teenagers, their popularity is not restricted to these teenagers; a special survey showed that sixty-five percent of their listeners are adults. Joe Grady, who graduated from Philadelphia's La Salle College, began his announcing career in 1934 at WDAS. From there he went to WHAT, where he was program director, and WIP. In March 1945 he came to WPEN. Even though he is thirty years old, teenagers still regard him as their pal. Ed Hurst attended high school in Atlantic City where he announced for WFPG. Ed, who is now only twenty-two years old, embarked on his career in radio when he was sixteen. When he was graduated in 1943, this career was interrupted by the Navy. Following his discharge he returned to the WFPG staff as a disc jockey. Three months later, in January 1946, he joined the WPEN staff, and the team of Grady and Hurst was born. Joe and Ed have certainly done their part in combating juvenile delinquency. With their personalities and gift of gab they keep youngsters off the streets by packing the studio every day from 2 to 5:30 P.M. with teenagers and adults. The "950" team also makes guest appearances in schools all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey and in their WPEN studio, Joe and Ed give an annual Hallowe'en and Christmas party, where "their kids" have an opportunity to meet many famous personalities in the music world. On the commercial side, Joe and Ed are known for making hit tunes. In 1948 they won first place in a disc jockey poll The 950 Club emcees need R strength for their conducted by a national radio fan magazine and from time M daily broadcasts to Philadelphia listeners. to time, various record distributors have also awarded honors to the boys for the great selling job their program has done.

Not all the shows Heidt put on were originally scheduled. When the troupe arrived in Tripoli after a 1,000 mile flight from Paris, they found hundreds of GI's standing in line outside the base theatre four hours before show time . . . and the sad news that only half the base would be able to see the one scheduled show. Could they put the show on again the following night? Well, the following night happened to be one of the few nights off, a night and day they were going to spend sightseeing in London. Would the kids give it up for a second show in Tripoli? The curtain went up for that second show in Tripoli, even though it meant another day in the desert wastes, sand flies, bad plumbing and all. The day wasn't wasted, however, for they visited the Casbah and to their great disappointment discovered it was much more romantic in the movies. The second unscheduled show was put on in the Azores and the annals of the entertainment world rarely list a show put on under such strange circumstances. The planes were heading home from Burtonwood, England, with the first refueling stop scheduled at Iceland. A few hours out of England and word came that weather conditions forced a change in flight plans to the Azores. The Azores radioed a request for a show with a Lt.

a BETTER year

Iast October, for the first time in its sixteen-year history, this magazine devoted an entire issue to the entertainment provided by a single network—the Columbia Broadcasting System. What was apparent last year—that CBS, with its multitude of top-ranking stars and excellent variety in programming, was presenting quality as well as quantity on the air—still holds true. Radio and Television Mirror again salutes the network's excellent fall line-up of stars and shows with this second CBS issue. Much has happened in the intervening months. Last year, for example, television was a lusty infant; today it might well be said to have attained its adolescence. There has been, too, much speculation on the future of radio—a great deal of it in tones of gloomy fore- boding. "They say" that many listeners have switched permanent allegiance to TV, that radio is dying. Fortunately, those rumors have no more basis in fact than most other "they say" statements. True, television has grown tremendously. True, it has gained many watchers. But take New York City for example, a metropolitan area where TV conditions are ideal and the best TV programs are available. Television viewing has gained almost unbelievably, especially during evening

hours. But radio listening has not fallen off, gloom-mongers to the contrary. It becomes increasingly apparent that there is plenty of room for both radio and TV; that they can grow and prosper side by side, friends rather than enemies. CBS has much to offer you, on both radio and TV. You'll find a

foretaste of that excellent listening and viewing in this ' CBS issue.

27 first met Arthur Godfrey when he was five I years old and in the kindergarten. He was a cute youngster with a shock of red hair and the same winning smile that he has today. I was

a' teacher in the Franklin School in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey at the time and I had been invited to attend a party the kindergarten teacher was giving for the children. Arthur was dressed in his best for the occasion, and occasion it was, for it marked his debut as a singer. He sat in a little chair, holding a daisy and picking off the petals, singing, "One I love, two I love, three I love, I say." That was my first introduction to the little boy and because he seemed outstanding even then, I became interested in him and watched his prog- ress through the grades. When he reached the eighth grade I met him again, this time as his teacher. I remember that Arthur was especially good in mathematics all through school, but English, the subject I taught, was a trial to him, especially if written work was required. His argument, when a paper was due,

was "Why can't I tell you about it? I know it. It seems a waste of time to write that all out." That was one thing on which we did not agree. But he was right about being able to talk. He always could do that quite well. He was especially fine in debates and his side usually won. This is not to say that he couldn't put words together. He could. He wrote very well, in fact, but usually he didn't have the patience to put down on paper what he would rather have talked about anyway. There was one memorable exception, however, and Arthur remembers it as vividly as I do. He described it in a letter I received from him a few years back: Dear, dear Miss Quigg: It was so grand to hear from you last Reunion in Connecticut: Miss Quigg meets her most famous pupil. spring. I was delighted to know that you listen occasionally. I often tell a great story on myself about BY MARY B. QUIGG an incident which happened when I was one of your duller pupils in the 8th grade at dear old Franklin. It's about the time in a history exam when you called an "Why don't you write a story about me, Miss for essay on a current event and I wrote ten or twelve classic pages which described in minute detail the voyage of Co- Quigg?

You've probably already spotted Arthur as the wistful boy in the white suit. He was fourteen then and—despite the expression —the most entertaining boy in the eighth grade at the Franklin School. "He hasn't changed a bit since," says Miss Quigg.

This is the Franklin School in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, And this is where Arthur lived as a boy. Born in New York, he which Arthur attended from kindergarten thru the eighth grade. was brought to the Heights by his family when he was a baby.

Twenty years of broadcasting—nearly seven thousand reports on living history—more than twenty million words on the air. If I listed only the outstanding events that have packed my scripts, this magazine would be filled from cover to cover with nothing but names and dates, so I give you instead one highly personal memory from each year—the first that comes to mind as I look back over the cavalcade of the news. In 1930, the last thing I intended to do was go back to speaking in any field. My wife and I had just finished ten years of non-stop wandering all over the world. Four million people had heard my talks. I had told the tale of high adventure, "With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia" three thousand times. I was fed up with public appearances, with travel, with talk. I decided never to appear before an BY LOWELL THOMAS audience again., bought a farm on Quaker Hill near Pawling, New York, and settled down to write. One telephone call changed all that. A friend at CBS said, "As an extremely important personal favor to me, will you come in to make a short talk without asking any questions?" He was a friend. I said, "Yes." He took me to a studio, said, "Here's a mike. Talk about any subject you like but don't stop for fifteen minutes." Without preparation or a script, I spoke about some of my adventures in Asia. When it was over, I discovered that I had been trapped into an audition for twenty of the executives of The Literary Digest, gathered in the board room to hear me—the hundredth speaker they had tested for their news program. That was the beginning. I have been on the air ever since, but I still have managed to expand my shelf of books to forty-two! (Continued on page 93)

Rochester brushes away the moths and takes you into the vault

as told to GLADYS HALL

Editor's Note: What's the real story behind Jack Benny? Where does myth leave off and man begin? Millions of Benny fans want to know—the editors of Radio Mirror decided to find out. The logical person to ask, of course, was Benny's man Rochester. And the logical person to send was ace interviewer, Gladys Hall. Such a collaboration was bound to reveal one thing, and here it is—the real story behind Jack Benny.

Coming out of a restaurant one day, Jack Benny handed the hat- check girl a dollar bill. But she handed it right back to him, saying, "Please, Mr. Benny, leave me some illusions!" Benny's man Rochester feels the same way. "I like the Boss stingy," says he. "I like him the way he is on his radio show, all the way. If the Boss just suddenly became generous overnight, I'd be out of business!" Bearing this in mind, Rochester has a lot of fun telling fibs about the Boss. He lets people think that Jack really is the character he plays on the air. "When I'm asked—and I often am—whether Mr. Benny is really cheap, I say, 'Well, he's never hurt his arm throwing money away!' When a fan wants to know whether Mr. Benny collects anything, like stamps, for instance, or first editions, or antique firearms, I say

Maxwell—put them all' together, they spell Jack Benny. Here to show you what's truth, what's fiction concerning his boss

'Money. The Boss does very well collecting money.' "Believe it or not, I've even been asked whether it's true that poor Dennis Day gets only twelve dollars a week for the radio show and, in addition, has to mow Mr. Benny's lawn. But I never let on that Dennis makes enough to hire a staff of gardeners and never lays hand to a lawnmower on his own place, let alone Mr. Benny's." Rochester travels around the country with the Boss—to Waukegan which, as everyone knows, is Jack's home, to Plainfield, which is Mary Livingstone's home town and to the big cities for personal appearance tours. "I meet hundreds and hundreds of people and most of them seem serious in believing that the Boss, in real life, is the same as the character they listen to over CBS every Sunday night at seven. And with all the work he's done building this character in the mind of the public,

I feel he should stay with it. I believe his fans feel likewise. "I know that when people ask me is there really a Maxwell, they get a kick when I tell them there sure enough is that claptrap old vintage '24 Maxwell, that I drive Mr. Benny around in that old creak, park it alongside all those Cadillacs in Hollywood, and the parking attendant wants to know is the Joad family back in town.

Cathy a real authority on male Crosbys

Captured: Desperate Robert Crosby, by those cou- rageous defenders of law and order, Cathy, Chris, Steve and Bobby. Bob's as young as the others

guess I don't have to tell anybody that my father, I Bob Crosby, is a wonderful man, and a wonderful singer. As his oldest child, though, and his only daughter, I think I have a pretty special place in his life. Of course I have to share him with my three brothers, Chris, Bobby and Steve, but they're just children and I'm practically eleven and a half. I miss him when he's gone, hopping back and forth across the country to do his Club 15 broadcasts, but it's always so exciting when he comes home. He always brings surprises. My closet's so full, I have to put things under the bed. Mommy says it's really not nice to stack things under the bed, but I can't think of any other place. Besides, who looks under a bed? Anyway, I guess I've got one of the nicest Daddies in the whole world and I wouldn't trade him for any other. Of course this doesn't mean that Daddy and I agree about every single little thing. After all we're a whole generation apart! But there is one thing we disagree on which wouldn't be too important, if it weren't the most important thing of all. What we disagree about is this: I want to sing. What I mean is I do sing—everybody knows the Crosbys all sing—but I want to sing well, to be as good a singer as I possibly can, as good as Daddy, as my Uncle Bing, as good as Gary, as good as anybody. And that means, I think, that I have to start now, The only fault, according to Cathy, of the pretty, before I'm too old, to study, to practice, to find a red-headed mother of the Crosby brood, is her fail- style of my own. I think I ought to take lessons, ure to provide Cathy with a sister. Always boys! lots of lessons, right away, and spend all my time learning all there is to know about music. I'd skip school if they'd let me, I'd give up summer camp, I'd even give up my holidays with the family, if only Bob Crosby can be heard on Club 15, Monday through Daddy would agree to it.

Things were getting a bit too crowded in her home, Marie Wilson reluctantly decided. Since her marriage to Allan Nixon, the family had gradually increased until it con- sisted of grandpa, stepfather, mother, two half-brothers and two visting sisters. Marie realized that she and Allan just had to have a measure of privacy, and yet she was so devoted to her whole tribe of relations she wanted them with her. (So, strangely enough, did Allan!) Marie's mother agreed with them that newlyweds should have a home of their own, and one day she and Marie climbed into Marie's new yellow convertible and started combing the Hollywood hills for a place to live. That was four years ago. Now, the housing problem for this multiple family is solved in a compact and original manner that causes clamorous comment from all who come calling on "My Friend Irma." For Marie and her mother were lucky enough to find two tiny houses facing a communal driveway, and with a communal backyard. Two little Normandy cottages, they are, joined together by an archway. These small stucco houses are so small they look like doll houses, and remind you, with their chocolate brown curving roofs and tiny windows, of the ginger- bread houses of storybook fame. Allan and Marie live in one cottage, the rest of the family in the other. Now that her grandfather and stepfather are dead, and her sisters (Continued on page 87)

Stan Burton has been married for several years to Terry his second wife. With Stan and Terry, in the pleasant little city of Dickston, live Brad, Stan's teen-age son of his former marriage, and Wendy, Terry and Stan's baby daughter. Stan and Terry are happy, love their children, their life in Dickston. But Stan's mother causes friction. Mother Bur- ton isn't the sort to provoke outright argument. She is a pleasant, gracious woman—and an intelligent one. And she realizes that Stan—although he knows that her intentions are the best—would not tolerate direct interference in his life. Mother Burton does, however, make Terry feel inade- quate; and this, of course, puts Terry on the defensive. If there are—and there always are, in the happiest of marriages —differences of opinion between Stan and Terry, it's only to be expected that Mother Burton would side with Stan, her own son, and she does. Unfortunately, being a confirmed a wo-mcm, %ab pessimist, she has a way of taking the joy out of life, whether the problem at hand is an important or an unimportant one. It's Mother Burton's belief that if it were not for Terry, Stan would be more successful in business—a point impos- a riant to oAimcwA- sible to prove either way. She differs with her daughter-in- Aw law on the handling of the children. But Mother Burton does not intend to interfere merely for the sake of interfering; she has honest opinions, makes them known.

For instance, Jack Benny isn't pictured here, but he'll undoubtedly be on your set before the year is out. Bergen promises to bring at least one newcomer, that lovely lady Podine Pumngton, to bolster Charlie and Mortimer's TV debuts. Horace Heidt brings his Youth Opportunity program to TV. Amos and Andy will be seen as well as heard. And of course there will be Arthur Godfrey with his uke and his Friends, Ed Sullivan with his Toast , of the Town. And many, many others.

Other- wise, song writers would have very meager returns for their time and talent. However, ASCAP drove a hard bargain, and radio stations had resented it from the start. Open warfare broke out when the renewal of a con- tract came up in December, 1940. Broadcasters had been paying about four million dollars a year in royalties for tunes. ASCAP thought twice that would be nice. The sale of records was enjoying an enormous come-back and the juke box was cutting into radio's audience. Broadcasters felt that this was no time to consider a hundred percent rise in the cost of music on the air. They got together, led by NBC and CBS, and defied ASCAP, saying that they would manage without popular music entirely before paying such a high fee for it. They formed Broadcast Music, Inc. as a rival, signed up what few song writers they could find outside of ASCAP, and held firm. The result was that practically every familiar song was off the air for almost all of 1941. These included everything from "Trees" to "The Stars and Stripes Forever," and even such signature That frolicking foursome, the songs as Rudy Vallee's "My Time is Hoosier Hotshots, provided Your Time." To ASCAP's astonishment, the public did not rebel too harmony for the very pop- strenuously, so the eighteen-year-old ular National Barn Dance. feud was finally settled, with ASCAP winning some concessions but the broadcasters winning more. The Federal Communications Com- mission made two momentous rulings this year. The most far-reaching was its somewhat delayed permission for the building of Frequency Modulation stations. This is so technical a subject that only engineers are interested in the details. It is enough for the average listener to know that the main difference from Amplitude Modulation is that FM uses the short wave bands in the radio spectrum, thus finding room on the air for many more stations and so expanding the possible services to the listener immeasurably. The other ruling had a quicker result. FCC ruled that no one company The Great Gildersleeve: Hal could own more than one network, and that licenses would be no longer Peary and "Stuffy" Smith. issued to stations in the same area if owned by the same company. This decision was based on the growing opinion that the big networks were ap- proaching monopoly of the air and that, unless controlled, might soon have "too much influence on thought." The immediate result was that NBC, which operated the Blue and the Red Net- works, had to relinquish one or the other. In January, 1942, RCA (the parent company of NBC) set up the smaller Blue Network as a separate unit with eventual sale in mind, and so the groundwork for the fourth great independent network, American Broadcast- ing Company, was laid.

My Two Generations of Downeys

(Continued from page 49)

to follow in his father's footsteps on the side of law and order. The next thing that happened was that Morton was clowning around in study hall and ac- cidentally broke the fire alarm just before he had to go up, again, to see the principal about something. Morton said he didn't mean to do it, and I believed him. But the principal didn't, and Morton was expelled as all of the other children streamed out in "his" fire drill. He went to work for the rest of the term and liked it so much he never did go back to school.

When Morton got a little older he could imitate anybody so perfectly you couldn't tell the difference. I never will forget the hornet's nest he stirred up with one telephone call. I had two good friends, one a lady who did beautiful fancy sewing and the other a close neighbor who was unmarried. I don't know what got into Morton, but one day, showing off before friends, he called up the seamstress in my neighbor's voice saying that it was a big secret but that she was going to be married, and ordered half a dozen fancy camisoles. The seamstress was more than enthusiastic at the good news. She Only one soap called me and half a dozen others right away saying, "Who is she going to marry? Who's the man?" Word got back to my neighbor that Morton was gives your skin this behind the whole thing and she was so mad that she wouldn't speak to me for two weeks. Can't say that I blame her, either. exciting Bouquet Well, my first brood of Downeys grew up, and then came the second lot. Sometimes it seems as if I turned around once and here they are, almost grown up, that second generation we're raising! Michael is grown up. He has just turned twenty and is in his second year at Notre Dame. All the children are I musical to some degree, just as my P own five are, but Michael is aimed at a business career like his two uncles, and New tests by for that matter. like Morton, too, leading skin specialists Sean, Morton's second boy, is seven- teen and he will be going to college in PROVE the amazing mildness another year—if we can hold him down to his books.

golf links across from our house every chance she gets. Tony is fifteen. He and Sean are the most like their father in temperament —full of pep and tease, though it's never harmful fun. Tony doesn't know what career he wants to follow yet. Right now he is crazy about sports and horses. He doesn't have a pony of his own but he spends all of his spare time riding and helping take care of one that belongs to a friend. Tony is full of Irish capers just like his father, but when he's cutting up I think to myself, "I really can't blame you because if you aren't your father all over again, my name isn't Downey." He's a great one for calling up his Aunt Helen or his brothers or Lorelle and pretending to be someone else, just the way his father used to. But Tony can't get away with things like that nearly so often because I've been through too many of Morton's tricks to be taken in. That's one place a grandmother has a big advantage in raising a second generation. She's been through the whole thing and it's a lot harder for her grandchildren to think up anything she hasn't already figured out an answer for.

Kevin is twelve and growing up fast, too. Being the youngest, Kevin takes a lot of teasing, but he can hold his own. He is a good student and he loves his stamp collection, a good-sized one by now. It was Morton's when he was a little boy. Then Michael worked hard on it in spare time for several years. Sean and Lorelle and Tony weren't interested, so now Kevin has inherited it. I often think how interesting it is the way children grow up so different. You give the same set of children the same love and discipline and food and schooling, but they turn out five different sizes and five different temperaments. My own children are a good example. They all had an equal opportunity at music and both of the girls had piano lessons, but Morton was the only one deeply interested in singing. Bessie, my oldest, always wanted a big family of her own, and she has it. Then came George, doing well in a loan business Mermen Baby Magic in Unbreakable Safety- here in Wallingford.

There is so much more to watch out for now, to keep your children safe and steady and not let them be spoiled. When my children were little, a movie once a week was a big treat. Now it's television every night and movies are taken for granted as something everybody goes to all the time. You used to be able to please a child no matter what you did for him.

(Continued from page 41) and one brother have left home, the little house across the drive is quite big enough for Marie's mother, Mrs. Frank White, and young Frankie, aged twenty-one. When Marie and her mother first saw the houses they were delighted. The most they had hoped was to find two houses for sale on the same street, but two houses together—that was real luck! It wasn't until the owner had opened the door of one that their hearts sank with disappointment. The living-room was a dark, dull *^rown and seemed so small they felt stifled in it. The bedroom was the same horrible color, and there weren't enough clothes closets. But they just couldn't give up so easily. The houses looked so cute from the outside. There must be some way of doing them over. A couple of visits later, they had it all figured out. "We could paint the walls light blue, and the ceiling, too. We could have a darker blue carpet running wall-to- wall through into the bedroom," Marie said thoughtfully, standing in the middle of the living room of the house where she and Allan were to live.

But I guess my favorite is the large French doll with the real hair that Sid Grauman gave me. This doll once belonged to President McKinley and has been raffled off and auctioned off for charities all over the country. I'm going to keep her from now on, in memory of Sid." Other sentimental touches are evi- dren in Marie's Wedgewood blue and rose kitchen. This room is as tiny and compact as a ship's galley. Wisely, Marie has arranged her stove, refrig- erator and sink all together under the windows of one wall. Another wall is cupboarded and shelved to hold her fine collection of English Bone China and her Tiffany glasses. The third wall shelters a small dining-nook. Marie's kitchen, with its ceramic pots arranged on cupboard tops is a sunny spot. Visitors are apt to crowd into it to admire the hanging shelves, which are the setting for the hand-painted cups, the work of Marie's great-aunt.

(Continued from page 30)

1931 holds a painful memory. On St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be amusing to give my standard sign-off, "So long until tomorrow," in Gaelic. In the late afternoon, I began calling all over town to Irish experts. Every- one was out. I left urgent messages. By six my telephone lines were jammed cutting me off from a last minute check I was giving a news story. At the last possible minute I left for the studio—and that night of all nights ran into a traffic jam. I was late, but not too late to give most of my broadcast and to sign off in Gaelic. In 1932 I had one of the outstanding scoops in the history of broadcasting when I broke the story that everyone was striving to get first—-news of the kidnapped Lindbergh baby. While I was on the air, the flash came in on the wire that the child's body had been found. The bulletin was rushed to me,

I spoke to three thousand U. S. Airmen waiting to fly the South Atlantic. Every day of this year was packed with such terrific stories of individual heroism on all fronts that they made everything else pale by comparison. I got out a book about some of them, These Men Shall Never Die, but there was such a dazzlement of adventure and bravery that I dedicated it "to those American fighting men whose stories are not included in this volume." 1944—D Day—the most difficult, exciting news day I can remember. Re- ports flooded in, but they were all of isolated incidents—paratroops here, air-flights there, reports from the various beaches. It was impossible to get an over-all picture or a time sequence, or anything except that the battle was raging and that our troops had cracked the Atlantic Wall.

In 1945, broadcasts from London, Paris, Rome and in a fighter plane over Berlin during the final battle, then a flight around the world and a look at the Pacific war. On the personal side I remember a meeting packed with drama—reunion with Count Luckner whose biography, The Sea Devil, I had written after World War One. He was a gallant foe in that war. He de- spised the Nazis and spent much of his ACHIEVE THE NEW time in America. As a result, he was out of favor with the Nazis and had to EXOTIC EYE MAKE-UP hide out in his home town of Halle.
