Radio Digest (June 1932-Mar 1933)

The Bootlegger of Homemade Sunshine THE WORLD has a headache, but Harry Glick knows nothing about it — in fact Harry doesn't even know what a headache is. If you get up in the morning feeling blue, cross at the world, and distressed over your poor physical condition, all you have to do is touch your radio dial, and tune in on Harry Glick, the exuberant air personality, who conducts the Health Gym Class over WMCA, New York, every morning at 8 :30 o'clock. After you listen to him just one moment, all your worries and cares immediately disappear. After interviewing Harry (for some reason nobody ever thinks of calling him Mr. Glick, he's such an all around good fellow,) he told me that people who have a tendency to worry, should start to do exercise every morning and the exercise that starts circulation in the blood, will break up the clogs of worry and shake the worries right out of the system (there's truth in them thar words, you must try it readers) — Harry can also be called the Health Man of Wisdom — because he tells you : If you have no time to exercise you'll find enough time to get sick and lie in bed — and it's not how much health you possess, but it's how you keep it. Harry wants to be known as the modern Abraham Lincoln, because he claims — you can fool your body some of the time, and you can fool your body most of the time, but you can't fool your body all of the time — again, (there's truth in them thaiwords). Harry Glick is the present holder of the world's welterweight wrestling championship, and is conceded by many sports writers as one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived. Once at the Oakland A. A., in Jersey City, New Jersey, he threw three men in thirtyfour minutes, one after another. Harry holds other records — he had the distinction as guest artist for Radio Digest, last year of having been the first instructor to give a gym class program over television, at the Columbia Broadcasting System. Harry has been broadcasting over four years, and if you will listen to him, you'll find him a whole show by himself. He sings, whistles, and wisecracks, but if you don't like his gags, he tells you, he's wrestling champion, so go ahead and give him an argument — and if you really don't like his gags, he asks you : "Who do you expect, Eddie Cantor so early in the morning?" Harry's favorite radio performer is Al Jolson, because he says, Al has that something, showmanship. All he has to say is "Hello" to an audience, and he becomes the greatest entertainer in the world ! And when he sings, he's that good, that he's an opera singer, a croon This cute little miss is Helen of Happyland, the story lady heard on WCKY, Covington, Ky., every Monday and Thursday at 6:30 p. m. EST. Helen has a wide range of voice for the impersonation of characters all the way from Tiny Mouse to Big Brown Bear. Away from the studio Helen's friends know her as Helen Brooks. Harry Glick. er and a classical singer all in one. Harry served in France during the War with the famous 27th Division of New York — he was in three engagements, St. Mihiel, Meuse Argonne, and Defensive Sector. He was on the stage with Earl Carroll of the Vanities, and danced with Natacha Nattova, the famous Russian Dancer. Radio has been kind to Harry, he has had about a dozen commercials already, and his unique program is in demand. He has no vices — doesn't drink or smoke. Harry likes the ladies, and the ladies must like Harry because he receives about 1,500 letters weekly from the fair sex. — (Gentlemen, are you readin', eh! I'm just wild about Harry). When I bid Harry goodbye, and he released my hand (not too soon to suit me) I looked to see whether any bones were fractured. I guess, I was lucky at that. I might have given him an argument in the subway— he looks that deceiving. J. A. X. PFLJJr, Cincinnati Wayne King. America's "Waltz Iviug," and his orchestra are now being heard over WLW each Sunday afternoon at 3 :00 o'clock during the Lady Esther Series Long a favorite of WLW listeners, this popular jazz maestro has been heard frequently over that station during his engagements at various Cincinnati supper clubs through arrangements made with the Music Corporation of America.
