Has been introducing “Amos and Andy, in person” to mil¬ lions of fans since that famous pair made their first broadcast. Here are the real “Ruby Taylor and Madam Queen” in the persons of Mrs. Freeman F. Gosden and Mrs. Charles J. Correll. AMOS V ANDY As Bill Hay would say, “Here they are” — Freeman F. Gosden (Amos) and Charles J. Correll (Andy) as they would look if you met them outside of the studio. They first went on the air in 1926 as “Sam and Henry” on a small radio station. In 1928 they stepped into their present names and their sketch was supplied to thirty-eight small stations on phonograph records. Then came their tie-up with N. B. C. which is probably the outstanding radio success. AMOS enjoys being a “know nothing” and is happiest when playing four or five characters at one broadcast. or Andrew ri.
