And countless odd jobs . . . Frank got his first Broadway assignment in "Judgment Day." Elmer Rice, the author, was noted for being anxious to give young actors a break. So Frank went up to see him and, after a reading, got a one-line part. "In the show as the juvenile lead, by the way. was Vincent Sherman, now directing 'Goodbye, My Fancy,' " said Frank. "Before I made any kind of impression on Broadway, though," he went on, "I managed to get into radio. I went to Cincinnati to play in a show but when I arrived I found the production had been postponed. So I auditioned at WLW there and was hired. I did everything — announcing to dramatic shows. I was there a year and seven months and learned a lot. Then I went back to New York expecting to land on the network shows. However, they weren't interested, so again I turned to the stage. "My best break came when Brock Pemberton and Antoinette Perry gave me a really great part in 'Chalked Out.' After that I was in 'Censored,' 'The Greatest Show On Earth,' a real stinker called 'Snark Was A Boojum,' 'Sound Of Hunting,' and 'Woman Bites Dog.' "The networks finally opened up for me, largely due to the help of Marge Marrow of CBS who had been plugging for me for some time. I then began doing a lot of broadcasts. I guess I've done about 4,000 in all." It was during one of his broadcasts that he met a girl named Joan Banks who was also doing a lot of work on the air. This was in 1940. They reacted in the same way at the same time, and in about three months were married. Joan still does some radio work — and she's appeared with Frank on his own show — but her main job is running a house, managing a husband, two children and trying to fathom all the changes that have come into her life as a result of Frank's stardom. "Joan gets very anxious about the whole thing," Frank laughed. "She went to her first premiere with me recently, and was so scared she hung on to me as though she were afraid I'd vanish into thin air. But, fortunately, while she may be confused about the demands on my time she's not unaware that the movie business is a tough one that takes a lot out of an actor. As for my suddenly being a romantic leading man, she isn't bowled over. When I asked her about this once she said, 'Why should I be surprised? After all, I knew that back in 1940, or I certainly wouldn't have married you.' Which is just the kind of thing a wife should say to a husband who always wants to hear it. "Joan is not only a wonderful wife, but she's also the greatest ear in the world. She's always ready to listen to me. Every man has to have a place where he can sound off when he gets mad, and Joan lets me go on yakking and simply acts as a good sounding board. Not that I always hold the upper hand. If we have any discussion and she thinks I have a point to my argument she'll say so. but if she thinks I'm hitting foul balls she'll soon let me know it. "There's one good thing about us — we don't get depressed at the same time and we don't get hilarious at the same time. Consequently, we give a nice check and balance to each other. I guess you'd call this understanding. At any rate, she's understanding enough to know that when I go into a problem-wrestling session, it has nothing to do with her. She never pulls that tired remark, 'Don't you love me anymore?' when I'm low. "Joan has given me a lot of confidence because she has believed in me. I'd have a rough time without her. "Actually, we lead a very normal life. Our two children are five and seven and a half. Judy plays the piano — because she likes to. I've explained the kind of work I do to my youngsters so they'll get no phony glamourous ideas about it. My wife and I have arguments about budgets like anyone else — mainly because she doesn't balance her check book. And I don't wear purple pajamas and eat eclairs for breakfast. We're just disgustingly normal. I'm ordinary enough to have no greater ambition than to hope I'll be as lucky with parts in the future as I have been in the past."

Based on fact, it isn't difficult to find a certain amount of sympathy for the James boys. The Man Who Cheated Himself 20th Century-Fox UNUSUAL detective story in which the detective, Lee J. Cobb, aids and abets murderess Jane Wyatt in covering up the murder of her husband. One of the best detectives on the force, Cobb makes the mistake of appreciating Jane's voluptuous charms. When she kills her husband before his very eyes, Cobb can't resist protecting the poor girl. Unfortunately for Cobb, his kid brother, John Dall, is quite a sleuth also. There are facets to the killing rookie detective Dall wants cleared up, even though Cobb has made the death look like the work of some punk stickup artist. He almost succeeds in diverting suspicion from his lady-love, but Dall blunders into the truth. Engrossing sus
