Frank Luther, tenor, is a native of Kansas and knows horses. He rides them mornings in New York, and spends spare week-ends playing tennis and swimming in Connecticut.
Nellie Revell, the Voice of Radio Digest, calls it vacation enough to visit her niece, who is studying at a Newburgh, N. Y., convent.
Madame Sylvia, beauty expert, thinks vacation is a rest. So she cuts down her daily hikes from seven to five miles a day, rain or shine.
B. A. Rolfe, the rotund maestro is still grinning. He took a vacation in Honolulu last year. Now he is satisfied with a radio star's furlough. The master of the Ivory orchestra has purchased a new boat, appropriately named, It Floats, because we think it's 99 44/100% sink proof. He takes his dogs Trouble and Bum along for Long Island cruises.
George Olsen, the Canada Dry music leader and his golden-voiced wife, Ethel Shutta, say New York is a nice place for a vacation. What else can they say? Nevertheless, they frequent Long Island beaches and golf courses. Incidentally, Olsen is one of the few men who will play golf with the "Missus."
A vacation interview with the famed Sisters of the Skillet proved very illuminating. We'll let Eddie East and Ralph Dumke tell their own story:
"Vacations, huh. Sure we're going on a vacation," said the roly-poly Ralph. "Sure, I'm going by motorcycle to Starved Rock, Illinois. Ed likes boats. He'll go to Coney Island on week-ends and maybe get reckless sometimes and take side trips to Palisades Park." (Both places are in the New York City limits.)
And in rapid order, Eunice Howard, actress, will go speed boating; Gene Arnold, trout fishing; Edna Kellogg, famed soprano, continue her flying lessons and ride horses; D'Avrey of Paris, ride in Central Park; Ralph Kirbery, the Dream Singer, is building himself a dream cottage in the woods on the outskirts of Paterson, N. J.; Robert Simmons, riding horses in Cornwall, N. Y. ; Graham Harris, musical director, fishing in New Hampshire.
Others are luckier. F. A. MitchellHedges, lecturer, is away from the microphone on a trip to the Central American jungles. He writes, "We are surrounded by acres of giant lilies, orchids and trees 250 feet high."
Countess Olga Albani, Spanish singer, is on a motor trip through her native country.
Then we return to another radio star and find that Phil Dewey, of the NBC Revelers, is playing golf in Westchester and calling that a vacation.
Jessica Dragonette, Cities Service soprano, will take her first vacation in five years. She will rest and study and return to the air in the Fall.
Richard "Sherlock Holmes" Gordon, will squeeze in his vacation far from the mystery roles he dramatizes. He will don overalls and putter about the workshop in his Stamford, Conn., home.
Ely Culbertson, famed bridge master, will take a summer off from the Wrigley Program and sail for Europe, the continent of his birth.
On the other hand Rudy Vallee, unable to take a real vacation, will fly between New York and Maine for his spasmodic rests.
They say Frank Luther (right) is a polo bear.
