INTRODUCING Eleanor Autrey. The New Fashioned Girl who sings the Old Fashioned Songs. Remember those old ditties that would bring down the house and shake the barn back in the days when grandma was a girl? Those old ballads that used to bring the sentimental tears to the mellow eyes of a past generation? Well, Eleanor is the little lady who warbles them over KFI. The flapper who sings the songs of another year. The gay little girl of today who reaches the hearts of the girls of yesterday.
There's a story in back of Eleanor. A story filled with strange coincidence and drama.
Her real name is Pansy, but let's just forget that and get to the story. She comes from Fort Scott, Kansas. Her father is one of President Hoover's closest friends. They were boys together or something. Five years ago Eleanor came here to crash pictures. Either the casting directors were blind or they didn't know personality when it was thrown at them. Anyway the gates of Hollywood refused to open; and so our heroine accepted a poor but honest job in other fields. She went to work for Western Union.

In the shade of the Old Apple Tree, Where the love in your eyes I could
When the voice that I heard
Like a song of the bird

I could hear the dull bun of the bee,
In the blossoms as you said to me,
With a heart that is true
I'll be waiting for you
In the shade of the Old Apple Tree.
hearing over KFI for Eleanor. She went over great.
Since then she has appeared once, twice and sometimes three times a day over KFI and KECA. She sings the good old songs: Memories, When You and I Were Young Maggie, Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight, I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls, and a lot of others.
• Her fan mail is tremendous. It comes not only from nice old ladies but from young girls as well. She plays golf, rides and loves to drive. So some night if you want to hear After the Ball Is Over, just tune in on Eleanor.
