Dick Himber's a successful bandleader — but he'd much rather play practical jokes.
THE CLOWN PRINCE
IT'S NOT an optical illusion if you happen to see two Richard Himbers. One you know as the redheaded dance band veteran who pioneered in swing strings, rolled up a baker's dozen of network programs, and can be as serious as a dramatic serial heroine when conducting his band. The other Himber is the rolypoly practical joker of Tin Pan Alley and amateur magician.
Though this split personality has brought the bandleader's friends, business associates, and office staff a good deal of confusion, it has been a source of relief to the hard-working former kid violinist from Newark, New Jersey.
"I'd go nuts, if I didn't have some fun away from the bandstand," Himber explained to me between demonstrations of a trick water glass he invented. "Leading a band is tough work. Late hours and arduous one night stands can really develop a nasty character."
So when Himber goes into one of his rare temperamental tirades, the

hardened victims of his tongue-lashings don't take the verbal blows too seriously. They know that in a few minutes he will cool off and have them laughing over a new magic manipulation.
Himber has most of his fun when his band is playing in a hotel spot. This gives him more time. Right now he's playing in New York's Essex House and broadcasting over Mutual and CBS. Next month the band goes to Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel. After that engagement comes a lengthy road tour which leaves no time for comedy.
Broadway's crop of song pluggers are the favored recipients of most of Himber's gags and almost any night you'll find them gathered in Lindy's restaurant planning retaliations.
The most celebrated Himber stunt came when he invited a number of the song pluggers to his hotel suite. He planted a microphone in the radio, and a recording machine in the adjoining room, ready to pick up for posterity any of his guests' remarks. These remarks were all uncomplimentary when Himber failed to make an appearance after keeping them waiting an hour.
Later on he called each one into the next room and played back the recording.
"Outside of a tribe of Indians, never did I see so many red faces," recalled Himber.
But one night Himber was on the receiving end. A trap was set at a broadcast. As the "on the air" sign flickered, Himber tapped his baton and what followed was a weird collection of off-key notes. Himber's round face nearly exploded. Then came a roar of laughter as one of the
