ROBERT DONLEY Bob is heard Mon.-Fri. on Front Page Farrell. I Robert Donley, among I whose regular radio roles * is that of Lieutenant Carpenter on Front Page Farrell (NBC, Mon. through Fri. at 5:45 P.M.) is an energetic, resourceful fellow. Born on a farm near Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, Bob ran away from home at sixteen and got a job in Detroit. He worked for two days without eating and, to get money for food, he had to quit his job and take what he had earned. After landing a job at a Detroit hotel, Bob went home for a visit and his family talked him into enrolling at Waynesburg College, where he got his first notions about acting. He got his first professional acting job at a summer stock company in Virginia Beach, Virginia. "It was tough," Bob said. "Sometimes we played to six people. I slept on the stage and I managed to eat by doing odd jobs as a printer, sticking beach umbrellas in the sand and being a shill for the concessionaires on the beach." Next, he returned to Chicago, but no jobs were to be had. Then, remembering that the small movie houses around Carmichaels had been dark for some time, he went back there and organized the Cumberland Little Theatre. The group, composed mostly of amateurs, played the local circuit and the townspeople loved it. They supported it as well as they could, but the company was literally frozen out of the theater during the cold winter. From there, Bob went to Denver and landed a job on a radio show called The Big Top. He later moved to WKY in Oklahoma City, where he got his first full-time paid job. He made thirty-five dollars a week for doing everything around the studio. Things went more smoothly then and in 1945 Bob decided to take a crack at New York City. By the end of the year, he felt secure enough to go out as a free-lance actor and he's been busy ever since. fc Unly one soap 1 gives your skin this I exciting Bouquet f P i Cashmere Bouquet is actually milder for all types of skin than most other leading toilet soaps!
