Pat Monroe and Monroe "Jack" Taylor delight WPEN listeners with a twinkling-eye view of the world
PHILADELPHIA PIXIES
Pat and Jack tour the city in search of the "happy" siant on Mr. and Mrs. Quakerite, then compare notes for new ideas.
A youthful radio veteran and an ex-entomologist, respectively dubbed Pat Monroe and Monroe "Jack" Taylor, are the madcap sponsors of a new version of the Monroe Doctrine — namely that "happy people are news." The co-signers of this doctrine meet at 9:05 A.M., Monday through Saturday, to thumb their humor at the gloom-and-doom folks in an hour of chit-chat, interviews and music on Station WPEN's popular Pat And Jack Show. In a spirit of friendly rivalry, they try to outdo each other with the unorthodox discoveries they have made on their separate ways about Philadelphia. . . . Both Pat and Jack are delighted at the way Philadelphians are subscribing to their doctrine, and their comments about the show are a joint chorus of "We've never been happier than when we collect ammunition against each other, and never more excited than when we use it on the air." . . . Pat, who has great faith in her mother, says, "Mom comes up with some great ideas to keep Jack hustling. You see, we've kept busy at being happy for a long time." Still 'in her early twenties, Pat debuted in radio by airing a high school gossip column on Station WTTM and soon found herself spinningrecords, newscasting, holding down the chores of Women's Director, and by-lining columns in two Trenton newspapers. She holds the unique honor of twice winning honorable mention in the BAB awards to top women's shows. . . . Jack began his radio career at Dartmouth College, where he took both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Science, then forsook microscope for microphone to run the gamut of radio jobs. He and Pat live in Trenton and rise at 6 A.M. to commute to Philadelphia. Frequently, after the show, they will drop in unexpectedly on listeners who happened to write to the program, and from these "at home" visits, they bring back flavorful sidelights on family life and on the customs and traditions of the Delaware Valley area. And, whether they call in person or on radio, the Pat and Jack team are heartily welcomed and cheered by their many fans.
