When that program proved unsuccessful she took another minor role, a part that most, actresses would turn down. Irene wouldn't. She was thinking about Sam and that laboratory which she wanted to outfit for him. At last she got a break. Bill Bacher, production man on the "Show Boat" program, heard her. The show had been on the air for almost two months and they needed a woman to play opposite Cap'n Henry. "That's the person," he said, when he heard her. Irene got the part has had it ever since ! An actress makes good .-, radio! That's almost a miracle in these <iays when a warble is worth a thousand spoken words. The Aunt Maria you don't kn»w is the woman who became an important "second" on a big program and a mistress of ceremonies on another because deep in her heart there's a burning desire to make an Edison out of a kid named Sam. A kid who's lucky enough to be her son, a kid who comes every Thursday night to the Show Boat broadcast and sits in the first row to root for the mother who's carried a heavy cross to assure him success. KMOX Spreads the Spirit of St. Louis (.Continued from page 55) Around the studios they call him "Mr. Van." He is J. L. Van Volkenburg, young and energetic. He became KMOX's president in October, 1932. Don't think that interest in KMOX is limited to the Forty-ninth State. Not at all. In fact, the Columbia network uses KMOX as one of its key stations. Those of you who live in the Southwest, West and Northwest will recall that a lot of your CBS programs originate from KMOX in St. Louis. At the moment, about twenty-five programs go on over the network from KMOX. There's the Pet Milk commercial on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Jerry Hoekstra's baritoning. A Monday program called "And the Crowd Roared," which relives sports events. Then, too, the Harmonettes, Russell Brown, the Shumate Brothers and others. ^*AN you remember when airplane endurance flying took the country by rage? Then you'll recall that Jackson and O'Brien, of St. Louis, established the first big record back in 1929. Newspapers from coast to coast gave column after column of space to this extraordinary event. And radios gave out special bulletins of the progress of the flight. KMOX was the first station on the air to report the flight. Every few minutes during the day the station gave bulletins. And when the record was broken, KMOX stayed on the air for 186 continuous hours, the length of time the flyers stayed in the air after the old record was passed. When it comes to high music, KMOX again takes honors. This time the music was about 2,000 feet high. A band was placed in an airplane with Billy Sunday, and KMOX listeners got music and religion from the heavens. That was in 1929 and a stunt quite new to radio. Airplanes have really played an important part in KMOX history. Take, for instance, the time a cornerstone was laid from a plane. The stone was set up on an electric winch. Up in a roaring plane were city officials and a KMOX engineer and announcer. As the plane rushed over the building, a voice broadcast by short wave and rebroadcast by KMOX closed the circuit of the electric winch, dropping the cornerstone in its place. That, to be sure, wras a pioneering move by radio. So don't forget to visit "The Voice of St. Louis" when you're out that way. You'll find out for yourself the wonders of the Forty-ninth State — the state you didn't know existed. The home of KMOX. Ill Be Suing You (Continued from page 15) doggoned corrupt crook, that goes out there and jams a milk contract through the schools and has the little children of his town a-drinking putrid milk.'' Those were pretty mild words coming from Mr. Duncan, for he had a much better vocabulary than that, when he saw fit to use it. He went on to say of the chap he was attacking that he is the "lowest of the low, the vilest of the vile, the dirtiest, thievin' grafter that ever disgraced the school board in any city." He called another person the "lowest, dirtiest, vilest grave robber on the Pacific Coast." Eventually the people he was calling names got a little sore. They didn't like to sue him for slander, because then they might have to disprove what he said. But when he called his pet enemy a "damn scoundrel, by God," he got into hot water. The courts convicted him of using "obscene, indecent and profane language." A higher court, to which he appealed, said it could see nothing obscene or indecent about his language, but that it was decidedly profane. The broadcasting station over which he had been accustomed to speak his mind could not get its license renewed. You probably know about that other lively libel suit pending at the present time in the courts. Sylvia Ulbeck, Hollywood's famous masseuse, who claims to be "death to fat," is being sued for $100,000 by Ginger Rogers, who says Madame Syl 80
