Now She Just Wonts To Say 'Hello' And Sing A Little a “class” personality, a sort of great- lady-bountiful, which fits right in with Jane’s inclinations—born or ac¬ quired—as a Southern girl. This im¬ mediately placed the night club circuit and one-shot guest appearances be¬ neath her newly found dignity. Instead, Moe booked her with con¬ cert tours, got her a weekly radio show, then a place on the old “Cham¬ ber Music Society of Lower Basin Street”—the radio show that started Dinah Shore. In time, she got daily and weekly radio shows; and finally, her current TV spot. But before that, Moe spearheaded a major coup: the lead in the Broad¬ way hit “Regina,” the musical ver¬ sion of “The Little Foxes.” Queen Of Telethons With the revival of Jane’s career imminent, Moe set out to build his client as a harborer of good will. Be¬ cause of Marcy, Jane’s closest interest was cerebral palsy, and she began to campaign actively. In the field of telethons, she reigns supreme. There must be few people in this country who can claim not to have seen or heard Jane Pickens on some charity program—Cerebral Palsy, The Heart Fund, the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund or the Arthritis and Rheuma¬ tism Foundation. With her new personality, Jane frowns on bookings that don’t further her role as a lady. In the rolling tongue of her native Georgia, she says, “I think it’s more important to be a human being than a singer. If you do a guest shot for a cause, that’s fine. But if it’s just to further you as a singer, it seldom comes off. Your lighting and make-up get lost in the shuffle; in fact, you get lost in the melee that is someone else’s show.” Suddenly financially solvent, her daughter Marcy established in a home in the country with her own house¬ keeper, Jane branched out. Though she wouldn’t discuss her age—a most unladylike subject—she credited Mar¬ cy with being “still 18. That’s old enough for any girl.” In widening her scope, Jane remarried. “I didn’t need to marry anyone,” she asserts. “It was simply love and William C. Langley.” Everyone who knows Mrs. Langley is delighted with her unerring good taste. Mr. Langley, publicity-shy as investment brokers are prone to be, transported her into what she calls, “the horsy set.” They frequently fly (in the Langley plane) or sail (in the Langley yacht) to the Langley Vir¬ ginia homestead for a weekend. Thrown momentarily by all the horse-and-hunt talk, Jane says, “One of these days I may tell them there are better things to do than go chas¬ ing through the mountains after a poor little who-knows-what.” Though Out of the past: the Pickens Sisters, Patti, Jane, center, and Helen in early '30's. 16
