Above, Walter O'Keefe of the Cornel Caravan program. Below, Deane Janis. Left to right, Paul Douglas, Ted Hming, Walter O'Keefe, Deane Janis, Jack O'Keefe, Vick Ruby, of Camel program. FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO RADIO COMEDY, it seems, is the most difficult form of entertainment to broadcast successfully. Comics, if they are to survive, must be surefire. There is no audience for funsters unable to provoke genuine guffaws. In Walter O'Keefe, the Camel Caravan presents a refreshingly glib comedian possessed with unerring judgment of what makes people laugh and how best to present it. As a high priest of hilarity, Walter has gathered for himself a tremendous listening audience. He's forever concocting new stunts and always represents good cheer and exercise for the laugh muscles. Along with Walter is lovely Deane Janis and her intriguing voice; Ted Husing and his interesting sports topics; and, of course, the tingling tunes of Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra. The entire program bespeaks cheerfulness. It's smartly done. The freshness of the material is a credit to the versatile O'Keefe who is responsible for all skits. The Camel Caravan, whether you're a big-towner or smalltowner, is admittedly an easy-to-listen-to program. Because of these qualities, RADIO STARS magazine awards its medal for Distinguished Service to Radio to the Camel Caravan.
