CREEN and radio rumor, never long idle, took on a new lease of life with the re(erit announcement that Charles "Buddy" Rogers, "Amerka's Boy Friend," was to take the air. (Not the way you mean.) Some people would have you believe Rogers deserted the screen for money. Some say he was ashamed of slipping in popular favor and was seeking to regain his standing with the public through another medium. Others claim Dan Cupid is the prime mover in the affair. But deeper than all these lies the real [('Olson for the change. Money! Cold cash. Not th,lt Buddy's salary from Paramount was to bl!' sneezed at, for it held iu own alongside that of other H ollyw,)od figures. But Rogers b elieves. putting two "nd two together. that there is more money in three salaries than there is in one, a simple enough proposition to state, and as simple to prove. As a motion picture star Buddy W.1S bound to l:is employen. had but one income. working as a radio star, canduccing a hotel orchestra and making . personal appearances" with that orchestra in various tbeatres. he will have three incomes, none of them fa be ignored.

get the proper angle on radio's latest acquisition, we might just as well go back to the beginning, back to Buddy's home town. Olathe, Kansas. There he grew up with the social set, was popular with the dehs. He came of a good family, his father being owner of the local paper. He was wcll mannered, an excellent entertainer, his lite was a round of parties and dates. His First Crush .And despite all his acquaintances, Buddy's only crush was one of his school teachers. It was all very natural, very harmless, and very fleeting. As he gl'ew older, Buddy outgrew that "puppy love" and turned his attention to Ills school mates, friends more his own age. Then came the movies-and a fame that he had never dreamed would be his. Buddy went to Hollywood. and of all the outstanding and beautiful women he met, the loveliest wa.s Claire Windsor. Sophisticated, gorgeously gowned, worldly and more experienced than Buddy. she gave him a frIendshIp no other woman had to give. They were great friends, enjoyed going about together. and surely there was nothing strange about that. Any young ma.n would have been proud to be seen with Mis.'> Windsor. Then Hollywood gossip took a hand: a very heavy, misguided hand, and effectively marred the friendship that meant so much to Buddy. Jealous men and womcn ~alked -whispered unfounded rumors, resorted to stolies that were without foundation-and the frlends realized that the best thing to do was to cease seeing one another. Mis.> Windsor came to New York, Buddy rcmaIned In Hollywood, and one guesses at the unllapplness that resulted from the
-lng.
But youth is resilient, and Buddy got around. Once more he was seen at dances, receptions, public and prlvate gatherings in and out of the fllm colony. He had many friends among the younger set, but he was seen most often, perhaps, with Mary Brian. Cultured, talented. attractive and much sought after by juvenile stars In Hollywood, demure little Mary made a perfect fOU for Buddy, and Hollywood nodded Its approval. Some had It, at the time. that Paramount fostered the romance to kill rW1lors which still persisted about the Rogers-Windsor friendship. But that, again, was rumor. and Buddy was often seen in the company of other young women. Among them were Jean Arthur, herself of the Mary Brlan type; June Collyer, formerly a New York society girl, and several prominent society girls from Ca.lifornia. More Gossip Miss Collyer visited her parents in New York:, and newspaper reporters saw a large picture of Mr. Rogers on the dressing table in her Park avenue boudoir. That was enough to start further rumors, and when Miss Collyer refused to amrm or deny any romance between her and Buddy. people drew their own conclusions. And then. several months later, Miss Collyer surprised au not concerned by marrying Stuart

For the first time In yeal's he ielt free to act as he really wished. That Included growing a moustache. More matw'ed than when he left Hollywood. Buddy returncd with many new Ideas. and one of th~m \l'as a desire to cssny a new type of movie role. When he reached New York. Buddy looked I1p Miss Windsor. and the two friends danced and dined when and where they pleased until the time ('ame for Rogers to retlll'D to Hollywood and his movie work. Buddy hnd grown up. He hnd learned to ignore the gossips and the low s~andal mongers. He had grown up more thnn that. fol' he had made up his mind that 11 he found hl.s popularity waning he would leave the pictures and go into radio work. And that brlngs I1S down to cases. Buddy began sUpping In pictures about a year ago and natllrallr. all things conSidered. He had been acting In the type of pictures which would ruin any actor's career; those MPPY musical films that presented the star as 1\ swect boy-sweet and spineless and not .~o hot. The )JUblic wanted some traces of acting' as well as good looks, and Buddy naturally wanted to give his best to hts work. But with had stories erected about rldlculOlIS plots. he was helpless_ The last ~traw was that picture. from which the fans remained away in hordes. called "Along Came Youth." And away went Rogers. Then ParamoU1lt decided that the fault lay In the fact that as a star Buddy carried too much of a load, and they decided to do something drastic. So Buddy was cast-In a secondary role, but one with real dramatie angles-in "The Lawyer's secret." And Buddy showed the stuff ot which he was made. His success was immediate; fans wrote letters of praise, critics hailed him as a dramatic star. But Buddy stllck to his guns, he had made up his mind to go over to radio, and go he would. It Is said Paramount would have bet'n glad to renew his contract. hut Buddy Mid "No!" If he makes the success of radio that he hopes to, Buddy wlll stay away from the pictures for eighteen months.

Of all his songs. the first one, "A Garland of Oldfashioned Roses" is the best known . . , its success made a Chicagoan out of a Louisville_Kentuckian . . . and a music publisher out of the tenor soloist in a COllcert band, This first numl:ler also achieved a distlnction awarded to but few of the thousands of popular tunes published every year . . . It has been given a place In the "black- and-white" library, or Standard collection of music. Other Keithley numbers include, "One Wonderful Nlght.", "When Shadows Fall", "The Tra il to Lonl:' Ago" and more recently, "An Old Italian Love Song," and "Our Melody of Dreams." Tile sweet tenor voice that was first heard In Natiello's Band in U1ulsvUle is at present an important part of the harmony of KYW's popular quartet, "The Chicagoans", Sliver throads among the gold, brown eyes, and a quiet dignity that is the reason for an interviewer calling him "Mister Keithley" even after she's known him lor two years ..

Radio has been heralded as civilization's greatest forward step since the advent of movable type. When the infant squawkers bowed their way Int.o the world assisted by crystals and cat-whiskerS, the country went wild. Not the least of the excited enthusiasts were the newspapers and maga~Ines throughout t-he country who crammed their columns with ether information matter.

The substance of the reports must be chronicled as rather lU1sa.tiSfactory. Perhaps we might take these commentaries as typical examples of radio news reporting. Splendid tor last-minute fla.shes and hot news .scoops, it comes far from overlapping the provinces that must be designated as Newspapcrdom's own domain. As I see It, radio is primarily designed as an enlertainment medium. Newspapers still remain the best news peddling media. Magazines rcst somewhCl"e between the two.

~u:~,ln~fcr;;_~~e~~~~~ ;:~~: ~~~~dR~~~ Corporation In an address before the National Federation of Radio Associaliol1S. Mr. Klugh believes that sponsored broadcasts are bound to sustain a higher standard of ent-ert.nlnment than government control broadcast programs, since someone is directly responsible for the quality or the programs presented. In other words, poor programs result in a loss of sales for the sponsor. Good programs make IlOW customers. Mr. Klugh then went on to discuss the British system of radio contro\. "The government, the listeners and the radio Industry should encourage advertisers to continue their exceUent programs. If we want listeners to lose Interest in radio, the BriU~h system will do It In the shortest time. "I don't mean to say that a.1l English programs are uninterootlng. Tills would be far from true. As a matter of fact, their broadcasting of grand opera and symphony orchestras is as well done as any broadcast I nave heard in this country. OUtside or these Important British broadcasts which, in my experience, were all too infrequent, the balance of tbe programs were largely 01 mediocre talent. "I said to one of the leading sopranos or the world, while in LoIfdon recently, "Why don't you broadcast over here?" Her answer was, 'The Ellglish broadcasting people seem to have a maximum payment to individual artists of ten pounds ($50.00). In tile United States, I receive $2,000 for a broadcast. Naturally, I cannot broadcast here." The only reason American listeners have ever heard thiS superb artiSt Is because t.he cost was paid by an advertiser. "The English system of announclng, Which is entirely devoid of advertising, gets on the nerves 01 an American. Announcements are ice cold. For illSt.allce, an announcer will say, 'Mary Brown will now
20
Then Mary sings
and when she has finished, there are some few seconds of pause when the same sombre voice will say, John Smith Will now Si!lg, "I Want Whnt I Want When I Want It:" Then John Sings and a.fter a little pa.use, the same unlnspirational voice states that tbere will be an intermlss.iOll of thirty minutes. Then you sit and wait or go over to your set and try to tune in the other one of the two programs put out by the BBC. There are no Independent stat-ions to turn to, "After listening to this lor some weeks, 1 said to Mrs. Klugh, 'I wish somebody v{ould try to sell me some toothpaste over the air,' a.nd on returning to this country and hearing the enthusiasm of our announcers, I resolVed never to complain again and to do my best to cOllvlnce American listeners that we are living in an entertainment paradise. "Uncounted mUlions of dollars 01 the best entertainm.ent in !.he world is being furnished to us absolutely free of charge by advertisers. The advert1sers comb the earth for program material. They taKe justifiable pride in the quality of their broadcasts and compete with each other in giving better broadcasts. Listeners risk nothing. Tne advertiser risks all and depends upon selling his products. If he doesn't he loses. The listener can't lose."

Dr. Preston Bradley is rever~ ing the usual procedure during Sprague Warner's Round Table which he conducts on Tuesday evenings at 9:30 o'clock over WMAQ. and is asking listeners to give their solutions to such questions as: "What is the most important problem facing our Nation today?" Of the many repli('s to the latter question the highest percentage suggest-". organization of our economic struc~ tUte, lack of religious faith and ideals, unemployment, and need for more effective governmental leader· ship as the most pressing problems. Dr. Bradley is now asking listeners "Wh,:lt is the best way to end the dt1'pression", and those who answer become participants in a contest with prizes for the best ('ssays,

Gentlemen: In sincere agreement with "Radio Fanatically", of Aurora. I rise to remark that the famousWeener Minstrels are no longer famous-they're just another minstrel show now-with nothing to recommend them t.o a public who has long enjoyed them. They're a grand nop! · 1 live in a large apartment building and nine~y per cent of the tenal1ts have' radios. a.nd for the fun of H. several of .us got together and took a: poll vote-and out of the fifty~!our CamillE!s who have radios, forty~nine of them had always listened to the Weenr Minstrels-and since Ai and Pete are no longer with the minstrels, thirtY~Seven of them said "No more Weener MinStrels for us." Once It was a clever pro~ gram. At Cameron is a clever comedian and Al and Pete can harmonize better than any team on the air-without them, Sin~ clair can listen to their own show. Mrs. "M."
