RADIO M IRROR Lee Wiley's Afraid of Romance (Continued from page 33) her one very long weary year of misery. This one particular balky animal threw her off one day with the result that the optical nerve became completely paralyzed and Miss Wiley was totally blind for one whole year. Perhaps the sad, blue tones were born during that year of suffering, the misery in not knowing whether she would ever be able to see again. So far as Lee can remember, this has been the only suffering she has endured in her young life. Lee mentioned that she would like to speak to that young lady who so recently regained her vision after being blind for about fifteen years. She would like to compare notes. No doubt Lee will. Lee's eyes are brown and so is her hair. Although she is tall she weighs about 115 pounds. She is very thin and is particularly fond of tailored clothes. She says she dislikes to wear evening clothes and feels most comfortable in a loose-fitting blouse and a suit with deep pockets where her hands can find a hiding place. She is particular about the cut and fit of her suits and has them made by an exclusive man's tailor who caters to many of the celebrities from the stage, screen, radio and sports world. 1 have seen Miss Wiley in both evening clothes and tailored clothes and I must say she looks best in a well-fitted suit but she also looks charming in evening dress. Although Lee is the calm and perfect hostess at home, she changes before the microphone. She is tense, nervous and excited until the broadcast is over. I have even heard that she has been seen tearing a handkerchief into shreds during a broadcast. After the performance, she relaxes and once more becomes her own vivacious and charming self. Like most all other actors and actresses, Lee Wiley insists that she isn't superstitious. No, not much, but just let her see a hat on a bed or meet a black cat and then watch that temperament bubble. By way of casual mention, I could say that Will Rogers, that popular cowboy actor of both the stage and screen, is distantly related to Miss Wiley on her mother's side. Miss Wiley although honored by this distant relationship has more than once been riled by a rumor that her success is due to Mr. Rogers, because the true fact is, that Lee Wiley has never met the famous rope-twirling, wordy actor. Can Lee Wiley continue to keep love in the background? Especially when one is as attractive and as charming as sheii Love is a funny thing. No one knows just what it may bring. But will Lee Wiley find out that the glory of a successful career does not always bring happiness? On the Pacific Air Waves {Continued from page 43) her a good-sized shove and she moved over to KFWB, the Ambassador Grove, and finally the chain. One fine day, right after she had taken an apartment for the winter with Dorothy Dee (Zimmerman), KTM prganist, she walked out and married Harry Barris. Though they had been seen together once in awhile, nobody thought it was serious until the actual marriage. But these past two years have been bad ones for the couple. Earlier this summer they got a chance for a comeback with Barris wielding' the baton for a San Francisco night club spot (over NBC) and Loyce singing. Though perhaps temperamentally of excitable dispositions they have both gotten along well in private life. .Preliminaries seem to say that the networks have withdrawn their ban and the couple will once more soar to popularity ... if not on one chain or city, then on another. And, perchance, the boy may have the time and inclination to do some more composing. Of course you remember his earlier song hits . . . "I Surrender Dear," "It Must Be True" and "It Was So Beautiful." * * * "Andy" Andrews has long been a stellar attraction with NBC coast audiences. Of course you know all that. But probably you don't know that he was christened as Orville Andrews, Jr. in his home town of Lincoln, Nebraska. "Andy" in rapid succession,, took lessons on the piano, cornet and trombone. But he wanted a banjo so he could sing, too. Orville, Sr., had different ideas. So Junior got a job as a grave digger and earned |80. for his first banjo. He earned his way through the state university by singing at banquets and stag affairs. Ten years ago he made his radio debut at KFAB in Lincoln. Since college days he has been with hotel orchestras and in recent years on coast radio. Back in '25 he married Vera Alber, of Greely, Colorado, when he was singing with a band in Estes Park. By the time September rolls around there will be an addition to the Andrews family for, as this is written, Andy is passing the cigars around to the scribes. "Just a new Spanish custom," says Andy, "I'm passing the stogies out now and will have some real seegars to pass out when the youngster arrives." * * * Mary Rosetti, prize female singer at KNX, is goin' to town these days. Believe it or not, her father really was a travelling salesman (William Pearce) and the family hearthstone was at Mt. Vernon, New York. She made her radio debut over WEBH in Chicago back in 1925, studied, travelled and worked until she signed up with KNX two or three years ago.
