Her first radio appearance was over Chicago's WEBH in 1924 when only twelve years old. The studio was in the Edgewater Beach Hotel and she was willing to broadcast only because it meant an opportunity to use the toboggan on the hotel's grounds after each broadcast. Joan has appeared on many radio programs, including Ma Perkins, Orphan Annie, Lum and Abner, as well as in Paramount pictures. Her sports interest has continued since her early weakness for tobogganing and today she favors swimming, golf, and horse-back riding. SOUNDS IN THE NIGHT A pound's a pound the world around, but it's not necessarily so of a sound. For instance, when Don Winget, Jr., WLW's chief sound technician in Cincinnati, was faced with the problem of producing the sound of a man being stabbed, he couldn't stab a man and let it go at that. But that was exactly how it sounded to the listeners of WLW's True Detective Mysteries. In reality they heard Don plunging a knife into a head of cabbage. And how about those telephone voices sounding so real coming from your loudspeaker? Well, if it's Chicago's WLS Saturday night Feed Store program you're listening to you'll have to give Merle Housh credit. Merle, after considerable head scratching and pondering, finally conceived the idea of fitting a cardboard box over the microphone. Then, after a trombone mute had been placed in each end of the box, you were certain the voice you heard came over a telephone. Certain, that is, until now. But not all the sound effects are so easy to invent. Chicago's WBBM producer, Phil Bowman, was stuck with the script, Cadets of the Air, calling for the sound of a soldier rushing up to the microphone and gasping for his breath before speaking. Neither actors nor sound effects men could produce the desired effect. Finally the producer ordered a cadet to sprint five times around the studio and then deliver the lines into the mike. That was fine. The boy did a perfect panting sound but he was so winded he couldn't speak — and one of his fellow cadets had to read his lines. * * * PROSPERITY NOTES Springfield, Mo.: Hoping to become Missouri's strongest signal in its territory, KWTO has installed $75,000 worth of new transmitting equipment and stepped its power up to 5,000 watts. Longview, Texas: KFRO has installed $1,500 worth of new equipment and is awaiting another $6,000 order of bigger and better sending apparatus. Chicago: WBBM's studio cat, Red, is hobbling around with a broken leg — but in a cast, no less. FANTASTIC Except for a peek-a-boo dancer, no one owes more to his fans than a radio celebrity. But even so a fan's reaction at times must baffle the microphoners. For instance, the trusting fan who wrote WBBM announcer Paul Luther and asked him to invest $4,000 anyway he saw fit. The listener said she knew by his voice that he was honest. How do I go about getting an announcing job, Paul? And Reginald Allen, WBT's Esso Reporter, knows a woman who shouts across the room, any room, at him whenever and wherever he appears — in a bar, hotel or railroad station. She just wants to hear REAL LIFE STORY :^'^i TIRED ALL THE TIME SHE TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO FEELS LIKE NEW! THANKS TO CLEVER WIFE.. TLTE wasn't himself. Had too many restless * -*■ nights, too many tired days. Seemed to lose his ambition. But his clever wife was too smart to let this go on. She insisted that he try Nature's Remedy (NR Tablets) and he found out what a surprising difference it made to use a laxative of entirely vegetable origin. He didn't mind taking NRs at all, they were so gentle, and non-habit forming. They simply made him feel like a new man. Get a 25c box at any drugstore today.
