Radio mirror (Jan-June 1948)

Coast to Coast Ineidentally, CBS stands to make approximately a half million dollars annually with these units. Jack Carson's stooge and announcer, Hy Averbach, has a sideline that he's turning into a money maker. He's an excellent caricaturist. Now we learn that he has stopped doodling for his friends and is selling his stuff to leading magazines. Personally, we're in favor of the idea that Don McNeill worked on awhile back. He did a twist on the programs which give away things all over the place. He asked visitors and listeners to give him something for the neediest families in Chicago. His appeal brought in over $10,000 worth of stuff. Behind the scenes in Hollywood radio studios, agencies and networks alike are showing great concern over studio audiences at the broadcasts. The big complaint is that the same old faces look up from the same old seats week after week, in spite of everything done about the distribution of tickets. Most past attempts to manage proper ticket distribution have failed and, in an effort to free themselves of jaded audiences, several shows are going to "hit the road" with 13-week tours to major cities across the country. According to Hollywood agencies, the worst abuses occur at audience participation shows where the clique of gift-grabbing girls shows up at program after program and limits the attendance of more desirable "one-time" studio guests. What you'd call the Long Voyage Home note — we hear that Lyn Murray, whose music and choral arrangements you've all known for years, had a much more romantic future mapped out for himself than being a musician. He even went so far as to run away to sea when he was seventeen. A long time ago, we remember writing about Murray Forbes and how he was writing a novel, working every spare moment including times when he was resting in a studio from his acting chores on soap operas. Now comes word that Murray's novel is a hit, has been bought by the movies and Murray is likely to play a leading role in the screen's adaptation of his work, "Hollow Triumph." Hollywood is buzzing about a transcribed co-op show boasting top stars and which isn't doing as well as had been expected. It's rumored that prospective sponsors in the hinterlands refuse to pick the show because it costs too much. Could it be that the stars waited just a little too long before embarking on their venture? That wolf's been threatening to sit on the doorstep for seme time, now, and even the fancy payers in the past are zipping up their bankrolls.
