LADIES ONLY!
Feminine Fancies is Intended Primarily for an Afternoon Program on KFRC, Appealing to Women — and Poor Hubby, Who is Away at Work All Day, Misses Out On One of the Cleverest Features On the Air.
Bill Wright has been called 'The Man of a Thousand Parts," so varied have been his activities on KFRC. It would take half a page to enumerate the different parts he has taken. He is active just now as Zeb in Eb and Zeb, as Professor Hamberg and Reginald Cheerily, all three characters appearing on the Golden State Blue Monday Jamboree.
Bill's friendliness is not mere surface affability assumed for a purpose. He is genuinely friendly. And he has had a most interesting life as an actor, newspaper man, a private in the army during the World War, an engineer's helper and an advertising man. He is 37 years old. His daughter, Betty Jean, is ten years of age.
His one vice is a great fondness for long black cigars. They say around the studios, where there's smoke vou are pretty sure to find, not fire, but Bill Wright.
Walter Kelsey directs the Feminine Fancies Orchestra each day. Walter is a very active young man of thirty who doesn't let any vegetables sprout under his feet. He took his first bath in the show business when, a boy of 17, he joined a show in Salinas, Calif., called "September Morn." He traveled over the country as a banjoist and violinist with that organization and since then has been with many of the countries biggest bands, including Anson Weeks and Gus Arnheim. Walter is rated as one of the best "hot" fiddle players in the country. He composes music and make many arrangements. He is married to his high school sweetheart, and has a boy of nine.
On Mondays, Frederic Bittke, baritone, and Hazel Warner, contralto, two of radio's most popular artists, are heard. Hazel also sings on Thursdays, and Bittke on Wednesdays. Bittke came to America from Germany when he was twelve years old, was a champion swimmer in \Turn to Page 32]

OOD Afternoon Neighbors!" That Bill Wright's greeting at three o'clock each day to his thousands of lady friends up and. down the Pacific Coast who tune in religiously to Feminine Fancies.
But don't get the idea Bill is an old flirt. (He doesn't dare be, because Mrs. Wright listens to each broadcast.) You see Bill's lady friends, although there may be flappers among them, ar? usually married ladies of a more mature age who are interested in him because he bring 5 them interesting musical entertainment, stories, poetry, drama and in addition a world of worthwhile information about new food products, household equipment and o'her things necessary to happy, modern homes.
"Neighbors" means just that to Bill. His listeners are treated just as though they were real next-door neighbors, chatting over the back fence or over a friendly cup of tea.
