WEEI. Barnes, Pat, Announcer of WHT, Winner of 192 7. Mr. Barnes was interested in motion picture productions before he went to war and only studied voice accidentally. When he came back from France, he produced "A Buck on Leave," which was very popular and which toured the United States. He tried to get big producers interested in it for the motion pictures but it was too soon after the war. As director and announcer of WHT he has won a large following. In fact, Al and Pat constitute one of the most popular teams on the air. Pat has that Irish sense of humor which always adds spice to any program he may be directing. He even announces market reports in a droll way. Barnett, Stanley, W., Announcer, WBAL. Barnick, Carl, Trumpeter, Columbia Broadcasting System Symphony Orchestra.
