Radio stars (Oct 1935-Sept 1936)

RADIO STARS ~Tlte tip and tlja on tke JZousdoivn (Continued from page 9) while there was an amusing story going the rounds about how she used a carrier pigeon to get her first audition. That, she says, is baloney and very thinly sliced. She got her audition through regular channels, the way you could, and when they said she needed more experience, she went to work on a local station. "Patti-cake" is not lazy. No matter how late she is in getting to bed, she awakens at eight in the morning. She answers her own fan mail and chooses her songs by practicing them at home. If the neighbors applaud, they're good. When they don't applaud, she feels low. She's very sensitive, crying easily about little things. The nearest she came to crying while on the air was about a month ago when she coughed in the middle of a song. For an instant, she was horrified ; then she apologized contritely to her listeners. As a result, the next day she had an extra large batch of fan mail. RENDEZVOUS This is the show in which the cast is temperamental. Not Phil Duey, nor Jane Williams, who are the stars; but Eunice Howard, who reads Jane's lines, and Buford Hampten, who has a role of his own. As we watch, Phil is seated over in a corner, reading his script. He is not bothered by the pandemonium at the microphone. There, Miss Howard and Mr. Hampten are having a lovely time. She is trying her darndest to get the director to change one line from "Yes, my Park Avenue farmer," to "Yes, YOU Park Avenue farmer." She has lots of reasons, and it takes her three minutes, by the clock, to give them all. Hampten, in the meantime, is running between the window of the control-room and the microphone, shouting : "These two next lines are deadly for me." Finally, the director comes out. He calms them down, with an effort, and the show goes on. GOOD CLEAN FUN As we walk into Al Pearce's rehearsal, a blonde gal in front is saying : "I know a young lady zvho makes her living by crying like a baby," to a girl on the stage, who is screaming at the top of her voice. The girl on the stage is Bernadine Upton, who is now making her living by playing sound effects for Andy Andrews' coming song, "Sawing a Lady in Half." As the song is being rehearsed, Phil Hanma saws on a log, she screams, and a page boy comes in. The show is about to go on, so he moves along asking those (Continued on page 93) Here is Irving Berlin (left), famous composer, who wrote the music for the movie, "Top Hat", which has us all agog this season. With him is Conductor Frank Tours, who has conducted the pit orchestra in all of Berlin's theatrical productions since his first show in 1914.
