RADIO STARS ...RADIO S TA R S' BOARD OF REVIEW Charlotte Geer Newark Evening News Richard G. Moffett Florida Times-Union Walter Ramsey Dell Publishing Company Last month we had two 5star programs. This month we have none. It just goes to show that radio actors and actresses rise and fall in quality just like the rest of us. Could that be why we like them so much? The highest rating of the month was given to the symphonic program of Frank Black and his orchestra with Egon Petri, concert pianist — an NBC program. On ly I /1 8th of a vote kept this program out of the 5-star class. Interesting, also, is the fact that we have five 2-star programs. Why? Well, listen to them and see what you think. Again this month we give you the pictures of six more members of the Board of Review. We want you to know the critics who pass on these programs. Others will be printed from time to time.
