ON E-THIRD OF A TRIO . . .
Gladys Swarthout's voice is beautiful, and Deems Taylor and the stories he tells are interesting — but there's another member of the Prudential Family Hour cast who does a lot toward making it a show worth listening to. His name is Jack Smith, and he's a young fellow who sings a solo along about the midway point of the show. His songs aren't highbrow, but he does them with a vigor and freshness that make you want to join in and sing too.
Jack has been working on radio shows for quite a while. Back in 1931, when he was sixteen years old and a junior at the Hollywood High School, he happened to hear that Bing Crosby's Rhythm Boys were winding up an engagement at the Coconut Grove. The news gave him an idea, and he and two classmates plunged into arduous rehearsals. Luck must have been with them, because although they'd had no previous professional experience, and had sung together only for the fun of it, v. hen they tried out for the spot left vacant by Bing's departure — they got the job.
Not only that, ' but the pay was $75 a week, which seemed like a fortune to high school boys who had been used to struggling along on allowances of two or three dollars.
Jack and his friends kept the job for a full year, singing at the Grove six nights a week and going to school in the daytime. After they graduated, their next stop was New York, where they got off on the right foot by landing a job singing on Kate Smith's program, no less. Since then the trio has been on many big shows, with Jack doing the solo work.
Jack was born in Seattle, but was lucky enough to have a father who was a graduate of Annapolis and thus was stationed in Honolulu while Jack was a boy. All the time he was growing up, Jack used to worry seriously about what he was going to do or be when he reached man's estate. "Don't worry," his father kept telling him. "You'll find the right work at the right time." Which proved to be perfectly true. Singing was the right work, and the right time, to the minute, was when Jack and his friends went to the Coconut Grove to audition.
Jack is married to the niece of the late Victor Schertzinger, the movie director. Her name is Victoria, after her uncle, and she was his favorite niece. Although she's not an actress, she did some movie work in her uncle's pictures when she was a child. Jack and she met just about the time he began singing in public, and they fell in love at once, but they weren't married until 1936, after Jack had become established in New York radio.
