r Louella and Bebe Daniels and Ann Harding A RANK outsider has stepped into the world of radio and is giving the home talent plenty to worry about. Louella Parsons, who for more years than even she likes to mention, has been writing for this paper and that, and who at present is doing a screen column for Universal Feature Service, has developed over night into a tremendous radio attraction. Miss Parsons, who by the way, is married and has a grown up daughter, gets more than twenty-five hundred letters a week from fans. And that isn't at all bad for a beginner. She is featured on the Sunkist program over KHJ on Thursdays. But there's a catch on that fan mail thing. Most of the letters ask favors. People want her to read their manuscripts, sell their novels, give free domestic advice, lend money to worthy causes and what not. Then there are the fans who want pictures. Hundreds of 'em, (fans, not pictures) even thousands of them. • During the few short months Miss Parsons has been on the air she has interviewed Mary Pickford, Lew Ayres, Wallace Beery, Marie Dressier, Ann Harding, Bebe Daniels and a whole lot of others. They, the stars and Louella, chat back and forth about nothing particular, while the world listens in. Wallace Beery was the first to be interviewed. Miss Parsons says it was he who taught her how to talk into a microphone and tipped her off on the best ways of putting a voice over the ether.
