DON WILSON (Announcer for the Victor Moore-Helen Broderick program) : "A few seasons ago, Broadway audiences roared when Victor Moore, playing the part of vice-president of the U. S. in 'Of Thee I Sing,' was refused admittance to certain governmental buildings because he couldn't identify himself. A few days ago, Mr. Moore was late. to one of our rehearsals. The reason? A page boy, not recognizing the Moore features, had kept him out!" * < * * RAYMOND PAIGE (Conductor of the "Hollywood Hotel" programs) : "I never knew so many film stars were music-conscious. Since I gave Lionel Barrymore violin lessons, half a dozen movie greats have asked me to tutor them in the intricacies of some musical instrument." * * * HELEN HAYES: "Do I ever tire of the constant grind of stage and radio work? Certainly. There comes a time when I long for an ocean trip or a rest in the country, but I realize that these will come eventually, so I live in pleasant anticipation. When I feel low, I dance. I studied dancing to discover an innate flair for acting, and every now and then when I feel myself losing my grip, I go dancing. You'd be surprised at the effect it has toward rejuvenation." * * * ANNE JAMISON (Singer of the "Hollywood Hotel" program who has just recovered from an appendectomy) : "Of course, it's a morbid thought. But if all radio performers were confined to a hospital for several days. I guarantee their work would improve tremendously upon their recovery. Gosh, what radio means to the shut-ins!" * * * PHIL BAKER: "As a radio comedian for over four years, I've come to the conclusion that the most fertile gag sources of the past four years have been Primo Camera, Gypsy Rose Lee, Mae West, Simone Simon, Dizzy Dean, the Dionnes, 'Anthony Adverse' and 'Gone With The Wind.' What a field day jesters had with these!" * * * MYRTLE VAIL DAMEREL (Myrt of Myrt and Marge) : "I've cut my son, George, off without a penny. He is now a full-fledged actor on the Myrt and Marge programs and we've both agreed that he is to pay his own freight from his salary." * # * CLARENCE MUSE (Singer and Dramatic actor of the Irvin S. Cobb Plantation program): "That Mr. Cobb, now, he's a great artist. He keeps pretending that he's really a lazy man, when in reality he is one of the most prolific men on the West Coast — what with his short stories, screen acting and writing and radio I chores."
