Radio mirror (May-Oct 1934)

RADIO M I RROR remains in her tones. It's there even now. The_\' ha\en't proven too great for plucky .Annette, however: she supports her mother in grand style and is sending her kid brother through medical school. Ever> girl dreams of romance. Exotic Gertrude Niesen, with her graygreen e\es with their long black lashes, her fair skin and dark, curly hair, was no exception to the rule. Her romance came when she was eighteen. He was a Princeton student, tall, dark and handsome, the son of a wealthy South American rancher. They met one summer in the country and romanced under moonlit skies. It was not the usual summer romance; it lasted for three years. Were it not for his moody, temperamental, jealous disposition, thev would probably be the average married couple now. His unreasonable jealousy made life impossible for her. Time and again he provoked a quarrel merely because she greeted a boy she knew. He criticized her girl friends and objected to her going out with them. He wanted to keep her all to himself. J\T first, Gertrude was flattered by ^^ his adoration, but after a while his close watch on her every moment became irksome. She realized that life would be impossible with one of his temperament. She broke the engagement. When she sings the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", in her husky, vibrant contralto, is she thinking of her own broken romance? Have you ever been homesick? Have you ever felt yourself lost, unwanted, a stranger in a strange land? Then you'll appreciate how Connie Gates, featured on "Presenting Mark Warnow" Pro-' gram, felt when she came to New York from Cleveland. There's nothing aggressive about Connie. She's quiet, simple and self-effacing. But something inside her would not let her rest; kept pushing her for ward. You have a voice, this inner being kept saying, Why not use it? Why not go to New York instead of sleeping your life away here? She came East. She knew no one. She was desperately homesick. It was the first time she was separated from her folks. She found that the city of New York was the loneliest spot in the world; no one noticed her. But Connie refused to give up and go home. She vowed she wouldn't go home, even for a visit, till she'd made good. She got her chance and made the grade. Stillshe is homesick. iMaybe you hear some of that longing, some of that desire for peace and quiet and understanding in her lovely voice. And maybe that is why "Lonesome" is her favorite melody, and the one she sings best. Today Tamara, the striking-looking Russian singer is on a coast-to-coast network. Everyone who listens in on her broadcast, catches the haunting, sorrowful tones of her voice, like the low rumble of an organ. There's a reason. It dates back to the time when Tamara was a little girl in Russia. It was during the time of the Soviet upheaval. The family was separated from the father. Tamara, her mother and little brother suffered almost unbelievable hardships. Sleepless nights spent in damp cellars, trembling in fear as cannon balls burst overhead. Endless days of flight from one town to another, hungry and exhausted, in a desperate effort to escape the hordes of bands who prowled over the countryside pillaging and robbing. They finally escaped into Poland. But their joy was short-lived. They were arrested and ordered to prison. It was little Tamara, following her mother's instructions who found the lawyer who finally secured the release of her mother and brother and arranged for their passage to America. America indeed proved the promised land. believe if or not Walter Winchell hands Ben Bernie a medal as pretty Ruth Etting looks on when the trio meet in a Chicago studio.
