TV Radio Mirror (Jul - Dec 1961)

stream in and out of our home. In that respect, I'm a lousy business man. No one is ever invited over to dinner because it would be 'good business.' So, most evenings, we are at home, reading or talking to friends." Their furnishings, period and traditional, indicate Richard's interests. He prefers books about the past. He is very much intrigued by the history of people who lived in New York in the nineteenth century. Not a hobbyist by nature, he presently finds himself reading up on antique watches and clocks, and itching to start a collection. ''Above all," he says, "the family itself delights me. Whenever we go on a weekend drive, we always take the children." The baby, Jacqueline Michele, was born last April 30. Jonathan Andrew was just three years old in June. "Jonathan is one of my best fans — which makes the peculiarities of show business a problem to explain. For example. The Big Beat goes off for the summer. Jonathan wants to know what happened to Daddy's job. I explain, 'The show is resting.' "But when I lost the local WCBS Radio show it became a problem. You can't say to a three-year-old, 'They didn't like your daddy'! Actually, it wasn't the real reason for the cancellation, anyway, and you can't begin to explain the politics of the business to a very young child. Jonathan saved the day by explaining, 'The radio show is resting with The Big Beat.' " Jonathan thinks all fathers are on radio and television, but Richard admits, "My wife and I aren't quite so sophisticated in our attitude. I get very excited about meeting a star. I don't mean a rock 'n' roll star — but one evening, for example, Arthur Godfrey invited Monique and me to dinner at the Hawaiian Room with others in the cast. It couldn't have meant more to us if we had won the Pillsbury bake-off." Much of Richard's enthusiasm for radio entertainment has rubbed off from Godfrey. He says, "I've always had this love for radio, but Arthur has done more for the medium than any other performer, and he has shown me and all the others how to use a microphone. Arthur's secret is in being yourself and relaxing. Many times, I've seen him call someone out of the control booth or audience just to talk a bit while he was on the air. There's never a script. But before I sing, there may be a couple of minutes of chuckles and strictly ad-lib conversation." It's the same quality of ease and personal charm which Richard carries into the new show. It sounds easy, but requires very special talent — alertness, wit, professional know-how, a sense of fun, and the desire to entertain on a very intimate level. Besides its stars, the show employs the fine musicianship of Norman Paris as musical director SEND COUPON FOR FREE lesson example, complete details.
