WINS, Jerry Warren keeps 'em up!
AT NIGHT, the WINS signal wends its way from , New York to points as distant as Canada, Bermuda Isle and Portugal. On the beam is Jerry Warren, a personable young man who spins records, interviews guests and talks about any . thing under the moon from 11 P.M. to 6 A.M., the longest one-man stint on radio. "I just try to be a nice guy with records," says Jerry. "I try to make it human." It's the universal element Jerry looks for, whether he's talking about a tune or asking frank questions and getting similar answers from people in show business or in the news. Scattered through the small hours are a number of features. The horn blows at midnight. At three, it's album time. At four, Jerry and audience are "sax conscious." At any time, the two-way Celebrity Telephone may ring. . . . Producer and all-night emcee, Jerry's now at work on a scheme to give away two million dollars in sixty days. That's a lot of zeros away from the time he was a young boy in Philadelphia, where his widowed mother ran a restaurant. "She thought there was something unethical about making a profit," Jerry recalls. Jerry would take pennies out of the cash register and, at the end of the month, when his mother couldn't meet her bills, he'd present her with a box of five dollars in pennies. Jerry went to elocution school, made his first appearance on stage in a school play — but somewhat ahead of cue. Everyone applauded, anyway. "That was interesting," Jerry thought. He progressed to paid radio performances for the Board of Education, has worked on radio and TV in Milwaukee, Trenton and Philadelphia. While on Philadelphia's KYW and WPTZ, he also managed to co-produce Broadway plays with Canada Lee, attend college and earn degrees in business administration and electronics, act on network shows, and run a book business. "I had so much time between station breaks," he grins. . . . Ciirrently, Jerry is an anxious mother's ideal date for her daughter. He brings her home by 10:30, then goes to work. But only career girls need apply to this bachelor.
Dawn Is quitting time. To keep Jerry from getting lonely, the blond Merrill sisters, Ca+hy Johnson and friend visit.
Manhattan sleeps. But, says Jerry, chic ones, cabbies, night workers or just plain insomniacs want "a nice guy" to talk to.
