Radio mirror (Nov 1934-Apr 1935)

RADIO MIRROR famous from Maine to California, and especially at Atlantic City. This time the winsome Winninger was on tour with a medicine show, purifying local bloods with "Dr. Reichter's Teutonia." With the crowds gathered for songs, dances and witty sayings, Charlie would arouse the interest of the beaux and belles with his announcement of a contest to choose a fairest flower of the Southland. One bottle of the good, old Doc's reliable cure-all, meant one vote for the village siren. And, gosh, how the money poured in! /^kND speaking of cures in the cornbelt, best set down for the record that this same austere gentleman hurled some of the first custard pies known to history. 'Way back yonder in the "Naughty Nineties," those far-famed exponents of the drama, Messrs. Weber and Fields had a divertissement titled "The Corn Curers," and in this aesthetically named offering, Mr. Winninger hurled creamy confections with deadly and uproariously hilarious precision. But, after all, we mustn't blame it all on "Andy." He was just a chip off the old block, for Father Franz, who wanted his son Charles to be a padre, was the discoverer of the late handcuff king, Harry Houdini, and it is still rumored down Appleton, Wisconsin, way that Franz was a party to that little publicity stunt when Harry opened up the jail and the prisoners forgot to remember to come back! All this is "only the beginning, folks," as Cap'n Henry says. These were the Winninger wild oats, sown in the first flush of that youth so speedily following his birth on a May day, the twentyeighth to be precise, in 1884.

Then he and Blanche played vaudeville dates until they tired of 'em, and Charlie gave an unforgettable impersonation of Leo Ditrichstein, the day's great lover. He played in "Friendly Enemies," in any number of "Follies" shows. He trouped for two straight years in "No, No, Nanette," with Beatrice Lillie in "Oh, Please!", in a Prohibition satire, "Light Wines and Beers," a piece called "The Broadway Whirl," and countless others. Yet, when Charlie first invaded Broadway, the celebrated and sarcastic critic, Alan Dale, wrote in his paper a mention of the Winninger histrionics, saying, "something with a German accent came on the stage!" But in spite of such an inauspicious start the boy from Black Creek, suburb of that thriving center of metropolitan art and letters, Green Bay, Wisconsin, delivered the well-known goods to the paying guests of theatre, screen' and radio. So. you see, neither you, nor Alan Dale, can always tell. AND for that German accent, Mr. Winninger can still turn it on as occasion requires, and he continues to hold fast to the idea that a lovable, ac HELP KIDNEYS ..acmt taAeafrutic (MUM Good Kidney Action Purifies Your Blood — Often Removes the Real Cause of Getting Up Nights, Neuralgia and Rheumatic Pains — Quiets Jumpy Nerves and Makes You Feel 10 Years Younger.
