"Howdy Folks" {Continued from page 35) "A strange thing, too, about radio writers. 1 don't suppose there's a sane human being in the land who would think of deliberately tossing away a slogan like "Good to the Last Drop". Now in my broadcasts, there are certain phrases that, through repetition, have become associated with the character 1 portray, and with the hour I represent. Well, sir, believe it or not, every now and then someone tries to improve things by throwing those familiar, and I believe, beloved phrases right out the window. "1 don't say I'd be crazy about doing the same character the rest of my life, but now that it is established I'm not going to lose its identity. What I'd like to do would be to present a series of plays in thirteen episodes, to establish a repertoire and become known on the air as I am in the theatre as a versatile delineator of character. I'd like to do "The Music Master", that Belasco classic, and follow it with "Rip Van Winkle." There are a couple of Richard Mansfield's vehicles that would be pretty nearly perfect as radio plays, and — oh, there is no end to the possibilities! [UT, don't mistake me. They'll never be successful in boiling down a play to tabloid form. Too much is missing. All the color and life and suspense, all the drama is lost when a plot is presented in its bare essentials. I've heard a couple of attempts recently, and it was painful to hear hit shows, every line of which was familiar to me, mutilated, murdered and massacred as they wcri'. "Of course, radio is dear to me. It's a marvellous medium, and a fascinating one in which to work. But, I suppose once an actor, always an actor. lo me l here's nothing like the theatre. I'm planning a play right now. This working by the stop-watch has its limitations. Sometimes they're a little irktoo. I try not to lei them ruffle though. One I inie there was a lot o! arm-waving in the studio, and I judged from the face-making ami other evidence ol excitement that the show was a minute or so over-time, and they wanted me to CUl the continuity. I didn't, though. I cut the commercial instead !" Up until that last line Mr. Winninger had been dreadfully serious. Even to the point where the broad brow was wrinkled under the intensity of his mood. But now the smile broke through, the light blue eyes sparkled wickedly as those of a youngster who has outwitted Teacher. The big executive was gone, and the transition brought back the beloved Charlie Winninger as a sort of Foxy Grandpa, prematurely juvenile. Of course he's an actor! Is, always was, always will be! Golly, that goes back to the days when papa Franz Winninger and his Austrian wife toured the West under canvas. The name of the act was "Winninger Family Novelties", and the troupe consisted of Ma and Pa and the six little Winningers of assorted sizes and sexes. There were five boys and a girl, and Charlie was born in a Lincoln-like log cabin that may still be standing in the environs of Black Creek, in the more or less sovereign state of Wisconsin. Charlie served his apprenticeship as a singer, a hoofer, an acrobat, a monologist. He was a seasoned trouper when Hector was a pup. More specifically, he was an old established firm in show business when Will Rogers made his theatric maiden bow. The "Show Boat" of stage, screen and radio, is not the only one on which Cap'n Henry, alias Andy Hawks, has cruised. No, siree! At sixteen he forsook the ten-twenty-thirty legit to sail the muddy Mississip' on the good ship "Cotton Blossom", and he stayed with her while she tied up at the levee of every town along the river's length. Those, if you like, were the good ol' days! And even then, as now, Charlie Winninger, of the Family Novelties, had his side-line. He carried a baseball team along with the show, and won with suspicious regularity from the nines composed of the local yokels along the route. The reason isn't difficult. On Charlie's team were several professional players, outlawed from both majors and minors, but with an eye on the ball, a hop on the fast one, and an all-inclusive fielding mitt! Victories became so monotonous thai finally the team disbanded. To Charlie, too, goes credit for one ol the firsl ol the beauty contests, now i
