RADIO MIRROR i7 ,C H E fA M Y F I Skov^ers Talc VVHY not make a necessity doubly nice, said Cheramy, as he added a lilting young perfume to the finest imported talc! That's why April Showers is the most famous, bestloved talcum powder .in the world. The Talc, exquisite but not expensive, 284. The Perfume (in purse-sizes), 284, 504 and $1.00. could all enjoy; and disposed of old silver and sundry keepsakes to secure tubes and repairs later. 1 sincerely believe that a radio is a necessity in any home, especially one full of worries and deprived of luxuries by circumstances over which the family had no control. It is to the busy housewife, the sick youngster, and the worried daddy what the fife and drum corps is to the weary marchers. Elizabeth T. Nedry, Glendale, Calif. HONORABLE MENTION "Remember the old days of the silent movies when they used to flash on the screen a caption which an ordinary mortal could read in 20 seconds and leave it on long enough for you and your companion to discuss in detail 'Beverly of Graustark'? "You used to get sort of peeved to think that anyone should think you quite so dumb, didn't you? And don't you feel the same way at the end of an episode in most of the dramatic serials of the radio to-day? You know: the episode ends and the announcer begins: 'Well, well, so John Doe is murdered; the police have found a tooth brush under the couch, etc., etc., etc.,: — and then, 'Will they find the murderer; what has the tooth brush to do with it, etc., etc.?'" — Aliene Kendall, Sterlington, N. Y. "Why must these things be: Imitators of Bing Crosby's nonchalance; imitators of Bob Burns' drawl; jokes so old they should be retired on pension; humor so dead it should be decently buried; guest stars who do nothing but answer a few questions; character actors who do the same monotonous stuff year after year; "cute" announcers; infant prodigies; boresome dramas of family life, and wives as stooges? Thank goodness, these things are: W. C. Fields' tall tales; Kirsten Flagstad; many swell dance bands; a few fine dramatic offerings; splendid news announcers; Bob Burns' relatives; suave Jack Benny; good sports reporting; the world's greatest symphony orchestras, AND Charlie McCarthy."— Louise Rabb, Logansport, Ind. "The perfect working model for news commentators, according to my family, is Edwin C. Hill. We wouldn't willingly miss one of his broadcasts, come good tidings or bad. "Mr. Hill's voice, in the first place, is very pleasant and his manner of speaking simple and good American. He has the good taste not to indulge in fervent dramatics, or conversely, studied nonchalance. Neither does he becloud the issue with a hard-to-follow accent. His personality is breezy, friendly and sympathetic, as he reports the news just as it comes to him." — Mrs. Ruth Cope, Sterling City, Tex. "Boy, 1 sure enjoyed Radio Mirror's Readio Broadcast by that ace of radio stars, Jack Benny himself. The Benny program is just chock full of humor and has more humanness than any feature on the air waves. Everytime I eat Jello, 1 think of Jack Benny, and believe me, when a lot of people do this, you can just bet your last dollar that the product is sold, sealed and delivered with a pink ribbon tied to it. Serve mv Jello with Jack Benny, please!" — Beulah Mae Klink, Canton, O.
