Although Bobbe and Ted appear in many of the same programs, most of their ether scenes are conducted with other players. Ted is Jack of the famous Jack and Ethyl acting team, in which Bernice Berwin is Ethyl. Bobbe, whose variety of voices and characterizations is equalled by that of only one other NBC player — Bennie Walker — usually plays with Bennie as her microphone foil.

admit that even as Mr. and Mrs. Howard Milholland, it is difficult for them to forget radio. On the rare occasions when the manager of NBC's program department now appears before the microphone — countless listeners still think "H. M.'s" speaking voice one of the pleasantest on the air — it is usually to read a poem on a musical program conducted by his wife.

These two are truly wedded in their art, for in a joint studio in San Francisco they teach their respective pupils, practice and study, then go on the air together in a program called "The Voice of Pan," broadcast weekly through the NBC network.
Anthony Linden is one of five brothers, all of whom are musicians. His father wanted a family orchestra, and taught each son a different instrument.

She and Anthony make an ideal pair of musical partners as well as matrimonial ones, and many of their programs include compositions of Emily's. "The Don" is one of her best-known; she also has written a flute-suite, "Top O' The Hill," especially for her hus\Turn to Page 39]
