Radio stars (Oct 1935-Sept 1936)

RADIO STARS On October 6th Countess Olga Albani, long a favorite singing star of radio, started a new series of programs, with the title, "Life is a Song." She was welcomed back by Announcer Charles Lyon.

As though that were not devoted service enough, watch Ruth's shining eye and glowing countenance when she speaks of their fifteen years' romance. The lots of Wally Rose and Colonel Snyder have been relatively easy compared with that of Valentin Parera, husband of the talented Grace Moore. At the time of their marriage, Grace already had achieved fame and riches, and it was a difficult decision when Valentin was forced to forego his own career as an actor in order to permit her freedom for her own more illustrious one. Parera was deep in plans for an M-G-M picture when Grace was summoned to sing before King George and Queen Mary, of England, in a command performance of La Boheme in London's Covent Garden. He dropped everything to remain by her side. A short time ago, when Miss Moore was appearing in a Chicago theater, I was present backstage when a bewildered cub reporter, sent to interview her, addressed Parera as "Mister Moore." The singer's handsome husband lost none of his Latin suavity, although his hot Spanish blood must have burned at the unintentional slight. Similarly he accepted flowers sent by a dozen admirers and conveyed them dutifully to his famous wife. However, Grace will tell you that it is not simply coincidence that she has enjoyed her greatest triumphs since that day, four years ago, when she met her handsome husband on the He de France and fell in love with him at sight. If you are a woman who has ever had the questionable good fortune to beat your husband at bridge or golf, you are well able to understand the sportsmanship of those husbands who, working side by side in the same profession with talented wives, have watched the wives climb faster up the ladder of fame, and still have been so lacking of professional and personal jealousy as to be able to remain uncomplaining and even give the little woman a much needed boost now and then. There are many of today's radio luminaries who have benefited vastly and readily admit it, through such husbandly aid. When Gladys Swarthout married Frank Chapman, whom she met in the opera house in Florence, Italy, his was the better known name musically. Capricious radio swept Gladys in its upward tide until her fame far overshadowed that of Chapman. Yet unselfish Chapman refused a proffered concert tour to remain with Gladys in (Continued on page 87) Rinse away hair dullness with ColoRinse.
