And so it is today though his hair is getting a bit thinner and a little greyer. The University of Chicago opened its yawning doors to the youthful boy sometime between the Spanish-American and the World War. But, though he has no quarrel with higher education, the life of a hoofer appealed more strongly to the future songster. So vaudeville claimed his attention and finally radio when public broadcast first came into being. By this time he was back in Chicago again. But the lights of Los Angeles called and the "Prince of Pep" hustled aboard a Pullman and stormed the citadel of The City of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels. KHJ was the first station to claim his allegiance and later he became manager of a couple of more stations. Still, through it all, he much preferred the part of an entertainer. The past year or so he has been a regular daily feature of KFI-KECA as master of ceremonies for his own show and, of course, he still sings and gets as many encores as ever. The "Prince of Pep" thinks that maybe after all he should have kept on through college, though he has made good in his chosen profession. So Charlie Jr. will study for the legal profession. Now in junior college, his career has been provided for right through the university and then to a four-year law curricula. It is all provided for financially even though something should happen to the father. That's the kind of a pal he is. Tamara's Russian Love (Continued from page 15) I During her cafe engagement, Tamara met Martin Tafel again, the young man who had won her heart while she was adjusting herself to her new life in America. Tamara met a young man who was most attractive. In the years that Tamara had struggled for a place in the line of stars, Martin had been building up an educational background for himself. He was now a Rutgers graduate. He looked at Tamara with a new light, and found her beautiful and vivacious. Tamaja had never forgotten Marty and this meeting brought her the realization of a love which she found to be even greater now than it was back in that little Russian colony not so long ago. And so they were reunited. Then came her first engagement in a musical comedy. The audiences liked her charm and were thrilled with her voice. Then came parts in "Crazy Quilt", "Free For AH", "The New Yorkers", and "Americana" with Phil Baker, and now star of "Roberta", the Shuberts' current musical comedy success. Her plaintive voice reaches out to all parts of the country on her Sunday night broadcasts. She has a soulfulness, tenderness, and sadness which has captivated the public. Now, Tamara did not want her romance to interfere with her career and so she hid her great love from the eyes of the world. It is this secret that has thrown a mysterious cloak around Tamara's personal life. However, I believe it is this hidden love that has brought out that something which has made her the star that she is today. Why do some people feel that marriage interferes with a career? For the past few years this fact has been disputed. Many stars have only reached great success after marriage. If you have something to offer the public, nothing can stop you from being recog nized. Down through the ages, LOVE has always been a stepping-stone to SUCCESS. Tamara is not the ordinary type of Russian. Russian women are generally large in stature, and they usually have an abundance of energy which they necessarily need to take care of their exuberance of emotions. Tamara is the unusual type. She is fragile, and almost china-like in her appearance. Her skin is olive and her eyes are dark brown fringed with long lashes. They are wide apart, giving her an almost oriental look. Her outward appearance is calm but no one knows of the tumult going on within her breast as she stands before the microphone or the footlights. But anyone who has seen or heard Tamara cannot forget her eyes or her voice. Her eyes are dark pools in which you can read of her past struggles, and the gleam in them tells you of her determination to reach even further goals than she has achieved thus far, and she says, "I have not come anywhere near reaching the height of my ambition." Her voice has a rich full quality and she sings with her whole heart and soul without seeming to make any effort. [ER wardrobe is most unusual. Her clothes are especially made for her by Mme. Tafel, who runs an exclusive dressmaking establishment which caters extensively to brides. Tamara prefers black, although she wears white, and red and gold predominates her evening clothes. Tamara loves to read. In her little apartment not far from Central Park, one finds on the shelves jn her living room many books. And they look as though they have really been read. Many of the books bear the titles of great Russian writers of today and yesterday. Her favorite authors are Proust and Knut Hamsun. 60
