ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Leon Janney in The Parker Family, on NBC-Blue at 9:15, E.S.T., rebroadcast to the West at 9:15, P.S.T., sponsored by Woodbury Soap. A little fifteen-minute program, tucked away and almost hidden by Sunday night's big Bennys, Bergens, Hayes, et al., The Parker Family is something you may have missed. You shouldn't miss it. It's an entertaining quarter-hour of anyone's time. Leon Janney, its star, is a young man who used to be in the movies. Remember him in "Courage" with Belle Bennett? It was the picture that made him practically overnight into what he now calls "one of those dreadful child stars." Leon was born in Ogden, Utah. His mother was a former actress, Bernice Ramon, who had given up her career to marry Nathan Haines Janney, an Ogden businessman. But she was determined that Leon, when he showed dramatic talent, should go on to reach the fame she'd never known. Before he was three years old, tow-headed Leon appeared on the stage of the local Pantages Theater to do an amateur-night stint, reciting "Winken, Blinken and Nod." He couldn't get beyond the second line, but the smell of greasepaint was in his nostrils and his career went on from there. Until he was nine, Leon toured the Pantages Circuit as a monologist, lecturing vaudeville audiences on the high cost of living, short skirts, and the evils of politics. Between tours he managed to attend the Page Military Academy. Twice he was suspended from school, once for talking too much and once for helping himself from the school garden. Los Angeles was his next stop-off. He worked in the movies and attended school with Ann Shirley, Betty Grable, Anita Louise and Frankie Darro. He was suspended from school again, too, for prank of some kind. After his final graduation in 1932, Leon and his mother came to New York, where he has appeared in Broadway stage plays as well as on the air. Leon is twenty-three now, blue-eyed and yellow-haired. His publicity man wouldn't admit it, but Leon has been married, although he isn't now. His wife was movieactress Jessica Pepper, and they were divorced a few years ago. As you can see from the picture above, Leon has enough Hollywood blood in his veins to hate ties and collars, and never wears them (or a hat either) if he can avoid it. He's an expert amateur musician, strictly in the classical vein, and dislikes most swing music very much. SAY HELLO TO . . . RAY MONTGOMERY— the 18-year-old college boy who plays the part of Noel Chandler in Irene Rich's dramatic serial. Dear John, tonight. Ray is a journalism student at the University of Southern California, and auditioned for Irene's program just for fun — surprising himself and all his friends by being successful. He's still in school, and still expects to make newspaper work his career. INSIDE RADIO-The Radio Mirror Almanac ■■ ■'■':' ■:.■■: . ■ 38 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
