in this business is coupled <strong>with</strong> immediate earnings for <strong>the</strong><br />

a thousand sales <strong>on</strong> which his earnings ran from $5, to $60<br />
per sale and more. A great deal <strong>of</strong> this business was repeat<br />
business. Yet he had never d<strong>on</strong>e anything like this before<br />

HOLLYWOOD HEART TREATMENT!<br />
Dear<br />
Joan--<br />
Got your note about <strong>the</strong> difficulties you are<br />
having <strong>with</strong> Bill. That Reno-vati<strong>on</strong> stuff is <strong>the</strong><br />
bunk. I've a.better idea. Ta.leehim to <strong>the</strong> moving<br />
pictures~ Crazy? Not a.bit <strong>of</strong> it. I've just glimpsed<br />
two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most powerful dem<strong>on</strong>strati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
power <strong>of</strong> love even my experienced orbs ha.ve ever<br />
seen. First, Pa.ramount's ama.zing new Cecil B.<br />
DelllilleTechnicolor drama <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> big open spa.ces,<br />
"North West Mounted Police." The old master bas<br />
managed to weave into his yarn about <strong>the</strong> gallant<br />
red coats not <strong>on</strong>e but two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most c<strong>on</strong>vincing<br />
love stories I've ever seen <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> screen. Gary<br />
Cooper in bis best, and I mean best, role to date and<br />
Prest<strong>on</strong> Foster compete for <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> Madeleine<br />
Carroll in a roma.nee that'll have Bill dewy-eyed.<br />
And Paulette Goddard and Robert Prest<strong>on</strong> unravel<br />
a love story that would send an iceberg into <strong>the</strong>rmostatic<br />
ecstatics.<br />
If "North West Mounted Police" doesn't<br />
succeed in mellowing him, and I'm sure it will, you<br />
d<strong>on</strong>'t need to worry. Pa.ramount's "Arise, My Love"<br />
is just about <strong>the</strong> answer to <strong>the</strong> lovelorn's prayer.<br />
Claudette Colbert and Ray Milland ma.leethis<br />
Mitch Leisen combinati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> laughter <strong>of</strong><br />
"lllidnigl'>t," <strong>the</strong> heart appeal <strong>of</strong> "Farewell to Arms,"<br />
into THE love picture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> decade. It's tender.<br />
It's titilating. It's terrific. Bill'll be holding your<br />
hand before <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first reel ...kissing you<br />
by <strong>the</strong> fifth.<br />
But you get <strong>the</strong> idea ...so watch for <strong>the</strong>se two<br />
great love pictures ...collect Bill ...and watch<br />
'em knock Reno foolishness out <strong>of</strong> both your heads.<br />
Yours<br />
helpfully,<br />
"Arise, my Jove, and fly away <strong>with</strong> me!"<br />

John Barbirolli's plans for <strong>the</strong> New<br />
York Pbilharm<strong>on</strong>ic include fewer<br />
novelties than usual and an Impressive<br />
List oC Sunday soloists. Barbirolll<br />
feels that during chaotic times<br />
like <strong>the</strong>se, people want to bear things<br />
<strong>the</strong>y know and like, ra<strong>the</strong>r than to<br />
have to c<strong>on</strong>centrate <strong>on</strong> something<br />
new and strange. He is, o! course,<br />
presenting some new works, notably<br />
a new piece by Jaromir Weinberger<br />
o.f "Schwanda" polka fame. It's called<br />
"S<strong>on</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> High Seas," is based <strong>on</strong><br />
melodies resembling Indian folkmusic<br />
and was originally titled "The<br />
St. Lawrence River." A symph<strong>on</strong>y by<br />
<strong>George</strong>s Bizet, composer <strong>of</strong> "Carmen,"<br />
Is something to watch for, as<br />
is BarblroUl's orchestral transcripti<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> Bach's loveliest chorals,<br />
"Sheep May Safely Graze." This is<br />
<strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> Mrs. Barbirolli's favorite melodies.<br />
and her husband undoubtedly<br />
dedicated <strong>the</strong> transcripti<strong>on</strong> to her. Although<br />
most <strong>of</strong> BarblroUi's family is<br />
livíng in <strong>on</strong>e o! <strong>the</strong> most heavily<br />
bombed areas <strong>of</strong> L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>. and he<br />
works in c<strong>on</strong>stant fear and dread, he<br />
feels that war bas nothing to do <strong>with</strong><br />
music. In olber words, he will c<strong>on</strong>tinue<br />
to play <strong>the</strong> best in music even<br />
11 lhe composers were German and<br />
Italian.<br />
Am<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Sunday Philharm<strong>on</strong>ic<br />
soloists will be Arthur Rubinstein,<br />
Rudolf Serkln, Gregor Platígorsky,<br />
l\Iishel Plastro, Erica Morini and<br />
many o<strong>the</strong>rs. The Philharm<strong>on</strong>ic goes<br />
<strong>on</strong> tour late In October, returning to<br />
New York <strong>the</strong> first week In December.<br />
A week later, Dimitri Mitropoulos,<br />
c<strong>on</strong>ductor ot <strong>the</strong> Minneapolis<br />
Symph<strong>on</strong>y, takes over from Barblrolli<br />
for fourteen c<strong>on</strong>certs, to be followed<br />
by Bruno Walter tor ano<strong>the</strong>r fourteen.<br />
Included In Walter's programs Is<br />
Gustav Mahler's dramatic "S<strong>on</strong>g <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Earth," <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> winter's musical<br />
highlights.<br />
Two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's foremost opera<br />
singers are going to show why <strong>the</strong>y<br />
have <strong>the</strong> reputati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> being lops in<br />
<strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>cert field. Lotte Lehmann, soprano,<br />
and Alexander Kipnis, bass,<br />
both familiar to radio listeners, plan<br />
to sing two <strong>of</strong> Schubert's loveliest<br />
s<strong>on</strong>g cycles <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> "New Friends <strong>of</strong><br />
Music." This organizati<strong>on</strong>, which has<br />
made <strong>the</strong> slogan "class music at mass<br />
prices" work, have planned <strong>the</strong>ir best<br />
series to date. Besides presenting all<br />
<strong>the</strong> Schubert trios, quartets, quintets<br />
and his enchanting octet, played by<br />
<strong>the</strong> major chamber-music ensembles<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> country, <strong>the</strong>y are fealuring<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tempol'ary chamber music by topem<strong>on</strong>g<br />
meny fine sp<strong>on</strong>sored musical<br />
broedces+s. Their programs<br />
are planned six m<strong>on</strong>ths ahead<br />
ranking modern composers. Last and<br />
possibly best. all <strong>the</strong> Beethoven violin<br />
s<strong>on</strong>atas will be performed by Adolph<br />
Busch and Rudolf Serk.in. But Cor<br />
many <strong>the</strong> high.light <strong>of</strong> that particular<br />
series is Lotte Lehmann singing Schubert's<br />
"Winter Journey" cycle and<br />
Kipnis doing "The Maid <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mill"<br />
cycle. Those cycles include some <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> most beautiful s<strong>on</strong>gs ever written,<br />
and <strong>the</strong>y'll be sung by <strong>the</strong> two<br />
artísts as you will rarely hear <strong>the</strong>m<br />
sung anywhere.<br />
Tabloid operas will be back <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
''Music Hall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Air" later in <strong>the</strong><br />
winter, but not <strong>the</strong> usual hackneyed<br />
<strong>on</strong>es. Erno Rapee feels that <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
a lot ot o<strong>the</strong>rs which could stand airing<br />
and entertain <strong>the</strong> listeners just as<br />
much as <strong>the</strong> old stock Cavorites.Most<br />
serious note In his plans is performance<br />
<strong>of</strong> five Beethoven piano c<strong>on</strong>certos,<br />
<strong>with</strong> Henrietta Schumann as<br />
soloist.<br />
OR. DAMROSCH'SMusic Appreciati<strong>on</strong><br />
returned October 18, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>re will be six Saturday children's<br />
c<strong>on</strong>certs by <strong>the</strong> New York Philharm<strong>on</strong>ic<br />
directed by Rudolph Ganz.<br />
Allred Wallenstein, usually am<strong>on</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> first to announce winter plans, is<br />
unusually evasive this year. The <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
lhlng he's definite about is c<strong>on</strong>tinuing<br />
last year's Mozart opera serles.<br />
Chief am<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> commercial newcomers<br />
is <strong>the</strong> "Design for Happiness,"<br />
featuring <strong>the</strong> Chicago Women's Symph<strong>on</strong>y<br />
c<strong>on</strong>ducted by lzler Solom<strong>on</strong>.<br />
This is a new type <strong>of</strong> commercialmusical<br />
program, and is headed for<br />
success. Soloists to be heard later <strong>on</strong><br />
include Lily P<strong>on</strong>s, Oscar Levant and<br />
Paul Robes<strong>on</strong>. O<strong>the</strong>r music commercials<br />
tried and true are "The Voice<br />
<strong>of</strong> Firest<strong>on</strong>e" and "Cities Servíce<br />
C<strong>on</strong>cert," which plan to go <strong>on</strong> in<br />
pretty much <strong>the</strong> same way. A more<br />
recent program that became popular<br />
this summer, "The Teleph<strong>on</strong>e Hour,"<br />
<strong>with</strong> James Melt<strong>on</strong> and Francia<br />
White, has its programs planned six<br />
m<strong>on</strong>ths in advance.<br />
So <strong>the</strong> parade goes <strong>on</strong>, <strong>with</strong> good<br />
music getting better and better, and<br />
capturing a bigger and bigger place<br />
in <strong>the</strong> hearts <strong>of</strong> radio listeners. Snobbery<br />
in music has g<strong>on</strong>e and left democracy<br />
in its place. The people are<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly snobbish In that <strong>the</strong>y want to<br />
hear <strong>the</strong> best. And <strong>the</strong>y're getting It.<br />
When Mickey Ro<strong>on</strong>ey is not ashamed<br />
to admit that his favorite composer<br />
is Maurice Ravel, we know that good<br />
music is <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> way to somethlng<br />
never dreamed <strong>of</strong> before.<br />
An excerpt from Columbia's<br />
short-wave broadcast from L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>on</strong> Sunday, October 6.<br />
A ND now lhe report from<br />
Larry Lesueur. Go ahead,<br />
L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>!<br />
Lesueur: This is L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>after<br />
a m<strong>on</strong>th <strong>of</strong> it. For thirty<br />
l<strong>on</strong>g nights L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> has been<br />
takini,t it from <strong>the</strong> German<br />
bombers, and many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> daylight<br />
hours were not l'.reefrom<br />
<strong>the</strong> high explosives flown irom<br />
just across <strong>the</strong> channel. Last<br />
night <strong>the</strong>y arrived <strong>on</strong> schedule<br />
and <strong>the</strong>re was nothing remarkable<br />
about <strong>the</strong>ir vístts, ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
in damages or casualties. They<br />
got <strong>on</strong>e large fire burning just<br />
below <strong>the</strong> financial district <strong>of</strong><br />
L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>, caned "The City," but it<br />
was put out by dawn. As I was<br />
writing this, <strong>the</strong> sirens sounded<br />
and a German plane whipped<br />
across lhe city wilh a British<br />
fighter <strong>on</strong> lts tall. They were<br />
plunging so low that some<strong>on</strong>e<br />
said, "Better lower<br />
<strong>the</strong> sash, <strong>the</strong>y'll be<br />
flying through <strong>the</strong><br />
windows."<br />
What's happened<br />
to L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>ers during<br />
this m<strong>on</strong>th oí terror?<br />
Well, <strong>the</strong> first two<br />
weeks were <strong>the</strong><br />
worst. For many,<br />
sleep was almost impossible<br />
until <strong>the</strong>y<br />
were completely exhausted.<br />
From two to four hours<br />
oí sleep at night was <strong>the</strong> average,<br />
and countless people spent<br />
those hours sitting up in chairs<br />
or hard benches In <strong>the</strong> air-raid<br />
shelters. l d<strong>on</strong>'t think I saw a<br />
pretly girl in L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> for that<br />
whole fortnight. They all faded<br />
so fast !rom lack oí sleep and<br />
bad ventilati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> shelters.<br />
But now <strong>the</strong>y're staging a<br />
comeback. After almost two<br />
weeks, nerves have been getting<br />
used to it: <strong>the</strong> routine <strong>of</strong><br />
lives has changed to allow for<br />
<strong>the</strong>se extraordinary c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
The British are a very adaptable<br />
people, witness <strong>the</strong>ir success<br />
at col<strong>on</strong>ízatl<strong>on</strong> In strange climates.<br />
If, as some say, adaptability<br />
is <strong>the</strong> measure <strong>of</strong> success,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> ls winning <strong>the</strong> allnlght<br />
blitzkriegs, because L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong><br />
ls now getting some sleep.<br />
Not as much as it wants, perhaps-not<br />
eight hours <strong>of</strong> course,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> papers here have told<br />
us again and again that you<br />
really d<strong>on</strong>'t need much, so l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
as you can relax <strong>on</strong>ce Jn a w.hl.le.<br />
Famous people, Thomas Edis<strong>on</strong>,<br />
for example, didn't need more<br />
than four hours' sleep a night<br />
-but maybe <strong>the</strong>y forgot that<br />
Thomas Edis<strong>on</strong> was deaf.<br />
Sleep-that's <strong>the</strong> main topic<br />
o! c<strong>on</strong>versati<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>se days. The<br />
questi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r did start to<br />
become popular again, th.al<br />
L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>'s unpleasant climate,<br />
rain and fog all winter, would<br />
keep <strong>the</strong> German planes away,<br />
but during <strong>the</strong> last few days <strong>the</strong><br />
Germans put a stop to that interesting<br />
topic. They've been<br />
overhead raln 01· shine. So sleep<br />
is <strong>the</strong> paramount subject. It's<br />
no L<strong>on</strong>gera social breach to ask<br />
your secretary or even a mere<br />
acquaintance, "Where are you<br />
sleeping t<strong>on</strong>ight?" The answers<br />
are always interesting. A great<br />
many people no l<strong>on</strong>ger sleep in<br />
beds. They pul <strong>the</strong>ir mattresses<br />
outside <strong>the</strong> door <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir flat, in<br />
<strong>the</strong> corridor, where<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are no windows<br />
to shatter and<br />
cut <strong>the</strong>m. A bomb,<br />
even a good distance<br />
away, breaks <strong>the</strong><br />
windows for a l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
way around. Many<br />
people go to <strong>the</strong><br />
basements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
. houses - it's quieter<br />
CBS l.erry Lesueur <strong>the</strong>re and safer.<br />
As for <strong>the</strong> au· war<br />
itsell, <strong>the</strong>re's a great deal <strong>of</strong> talk<br />
up here about an answer to <strong>the</strong><br />
night bombing, <strong>of</strong> combining a<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> new ideas to keep <strong>the</strong><br />
Germans away. It's true that In<br />
<strong>the</strong> last week <strong>the</strong> bombing at<br />
least <strong>of</strong> central L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> has been<br />
far less intense, though we still<br />
hear <strong>the</strong> planes going overhead.<br />
Dur-ing <strong>the</strong> daytime <strong>the</strong> Germans<br />
are trying lo lure <strong>the</strong><br />
R. A. F. <strong>of</strong>T lo do battle <strong>with</strong><br />
overwhelmmg forces <strong>of</strong> Messerschmltts.<br />
Goering apparenUy<br />
remembers that in <strong>the</strong> last war<br />
lhe British had a reputati<strong>on</strong> for<br />
rashness and for taking l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
chances in <strong>the</strong> air, so he's trying<br />
to tempt <strong>the</strong>m to do it again.<br />
Yesterday, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> twenty-three<br />
German planes brought down,<br />
eighteen were MesserschmiU<br />
fighters, indicating how many o.f<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> R. A. F. had to wade<br />
through before it could go after<br />
German bombers. I return you<br />
now to CBS in New York.

THE CAST: Seated (l. to r.): Judy (played by Colleen Ward),<br />
Belle (Lucille Wall), Lorenzo (Karl Swens<strong>on</strong>). Irma Barker (Nancy<br />
Sheridan). Standing: Nick [Ted Reed), director Norman Sweetser,<br />
announcer Jean Paul King, Jim Barker (John Brown)<br />
FIRST FAMILIES ·OF RADIO<br />
"Lorenzo<br />
IN ALMOSTany community <strong>the</strong>re's a family <strong>with</strong> a kindly but<br />
ne'er-do-well husband and a l<strong>on</strong>g-suffering wüe who must take<br />
<strong>the</strong> resp<strong>on</strong>sibility for <strong>the</strong>ir entire future. Such a family are<br />
<strong>the</strong> Lorenzo J<strong>on</strong>eses <strong>of</strong> radío (heard M<strong>on</strong>days through Fridays<br />
over an NBC network). This serial drama, which carne to <strong>the</strong> air<br />
back In 1927,tells <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> a lovable day-dreamer, Lorenzo<br />
J<strong>on</strong>es (Karl Swens<strong>on</strong>), and his devoted but harassed wife, Belle<br />
(Lucille Wall). An inventor <strong>of</strong> unsalable gadgets and a dreamer<br />
<strong>of</strong> impractical ideas, Lorenzo putters--unproduct.ively-in his<br />
workshop while Belle struggles <strong>with</strong> real problems. As a c<strong>on</strong>sequence,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y are c<strong>on</strong>stantly in financial difll.culties.One <strong>of</strong> Lorenzo's<br />
more recent brain-storms came when he saw <strong>the</strong> movie<br />
"Edis<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Man" and was inspired to write an autobiography <strong>of</strong><br />
"Lorenzo J<strong>on</strong>es <strong>the</strong> Man,'' thus leaving a record o! his inventi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
J<strong>on</strong>es"<br />
and "successes" to posterity. "Il Edis<strong>on</strong> could do it, why not<br />
J<strong>on</strong>es?" reas<strong>on</strong>ed Lorenzo. After a representative <strong>of</strong> a movie<br />
studlo had read his work, however, it was suggested that "Lorenzo<br />
J<strong>on</strong>es <strong>the</strong> Man" was almost identical <strong>with</strong> MEdis<strong>on</strong><strong>the</strong> Man."<br />
"That's right," said Lorenzo, "that's where ! got <strong>the</strong> idea." So it<br />
goes <strong>with</strong> Lorenzo-dreaming always <strong>of</strong> a bright tomorrow but<br />
accomplishing nothing today. From rus own point <strong>of</strong> view, Lorcnzc's<br />
job in Jim Barker's (John Brown) garage is <strong>on</strong>ly a sideline.<br />
Jim Barker is also <strong>the</strong> J<strong>on</strong>es' landlord, but <strong>the</strong>.ir best friends<br />
are Judy and Nick, a young married couple. It is improbable that<br />
Lorenzo will ever come through <strong>with</strong> "lhe great inventi<strong>on</strong>," and it<br />
is likely that Belle will always struggle to keep <strong>the</strong> J<strong>on</strong>eses in<br />
circulati<strong>on</strong>. But even though <strong>the</strong> J<strong>on</strong>eses have more downs than<br />
ups, somehow <strong>the</strong>ir story usually holds more smiles than tears.
NOBODY'S<br />
CHILDREN<br />
The story <strong>of</strong> a heart-warming broadcast where<br />
<strong>the</strong> luckiest people in <strong>the</strong> world meet <strong>the</strong><br />
unluckiest, bringing happiness to <strong>on</strong>e ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
By John W. Carls<strong>on</strong><br />
WALTER WHITE, JR. [center], introduces<br />
fortune-favored movie director<br />
Frank Cepre to a hapless orphan<br />
<strong>on</strong> "Nobody's Children" (Sun.)<br />
JOAN BLONDELLand husband Dick<br />
Powell. <strong>with</strong> two fellow guests at<br />
right, are am<strong>on</strong>g scores <strong>of</strong> stars<br />
who've visited "Nobody's Children"<br />
WREN lhe luckiest people in <strong>the</strong><br />
world meet <strong>the</strong> unluckiest<br />
people Ill <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>on</strong>e<br />
would normally expect <strong>the</strong>ir rendezvous<br />
to be <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> pages ot a story<br />
book. Like Grimm's !airy-tales, where<br />
rags meet riches and live happily ever<br />
alter. The least likely o! all meetingplaces,<br />
seemingly, would be a broadcasting<br />
studio.<br />
Yet <strong>the</strong> nearest modern equivalent<br />
to a Grimm's !airy-tale we know <strong>of</strong> is<br />
·'Nobody's Children," and "Nobody's<br />
Children" is a radio program. 1t is an<br />
obscure <strong>on</strong>e when ¡udged by <strong>the</strong><br />
standards <strong>of</strong> big-sp<strong>on</strong>sor, big-m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />
broadcasts. 1l is unique when judged<br />
by <strong>the</strong> Jess orthodox standards <strong>of</strong><br />
human interest and human kindness.<br />
To this broadcast, from homes filled<br />
<strong>with</strong> all <strong>the</strong> happiness which m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />
can buy, come <strong>the</strong> luxury-sated stars<br />
<strong>of</strong>. Hollywood. To <strong>the</strong> same broadcast<br />
come small children, claimed by no<br />
home, by no mo<strong>the</strong>r and fa<strong>the</strong>r, children<br />
who are literally "Nobody's<br />
Children." Here is a modern-and a<br />
real-rendezvous <strong>of</strong> rags and riches<br />
which has stirred countless listeners<br />
to <strong>the</strong> Sunday afterno<strong>on</strong> broadcasts <strong>of</strong><br />
"Nobody's Children."<br />
"Nobody's Children" is presented iD<br />
<strong>the</strong> privacy <strong>of</strong> Visitor's Cottage at <strong>the</strong><br />
Children's Home-Finding Society <strong>of</strong><br />
California. There, before a microph<strong>on</strong>e<br />
in <strong>the</strong> small, tastefully furnished recepti<strong>on</strong><br />
room, are told <strong>the</strong> true and<br />
very pers<strong>on</strong>al stories <strong>of</strong> youngsters<br />
ranging in age from a few m<strong>on</strong>ths to<br />
twelve years. The stories are <strong>of</strong> broken<br />
homes, <strong>of</strong> deserted children, <strong>of</strong> babies<br />
whose parents have unwillingly surrendered<br />
<strong>the</strong> struggle to provide a<br />
home. And when <strong>the</strong> stories have been<br />
told-not be.Core-<strong>the</strong> children whom<br />
<strong>the</strong>y c<strong>on</strong>cern enter <strong>the</strong> studio to participate<br />
in <strong>the</strong> broadcast <strong>with</strong> a guest, ·<br />
who may be Billy Gilbert or Barbara<br />
Stanwyck or Ja.ck Benoy or any <strong>on</strong>e<br />
o! hail a hundred Hollywood celebrities.<br />
Strangely, when <strong>the</strong> "haves" and<br />
<strong>the</strong> "have-nots" meet thus at Visitor's<br />
Cottage. <strong>the</strong>y are able to bring hap-<br />
34<br />
pmess lo <strong>on</strong>e ano<strong>the</strong>r. Thot is <strong>the</strong><br />
w<strong>on</strong>derful thing about "Nobody's Children.''<br />
Behind it is a man and an idea. The<br />
man is Walter White, Jr., a Broadway<br />
actor who, atter a successi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> roles<br />
in Broadway shows such as "Irene,"<br />
"Wallflower"and "Captain Applejack,"<br />
went to Hollywood and became interested<br />
in radio. He has since d<strong>on</strong>e more<br />
than a score ot broadcasts oc ''Lux<br />
Radio Theater."<br />
The idea was Mr.White's, and it began<br />
to take shape six years ago when<br />
this gaunt-visaged man <strong>with</strong> warm,<br />
friendly eyes had married, <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
very natural hope <strong>of</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>ring a family.<br />
Later, be and his wife Francine<br />
were told that <strong>the</strong>re was little likelihood<br />
o! <strong>the</strong>ir ever having children.<br />
Their feelings can be imagined. Happily,<br />
<strong>the</strong> doctor's verdict turned out<br />
to be a mistaken <strong>on</strong>e. (The Whites<br />
now have two strapping s<strong>on</strong>s.) Happily,<br />
also, Wnlter White had plenty <strong>of</strong><br />
time to experience <strong>the</strong> anguish which<br />
thousands <strong>of</strong> parents who have been<br />
denied children must experience, and<br />
lo c<strong>on</strong>sider what a vast radio audience<br />
<strong>of</strong> childless parents might be interested<br />
in learning about pa.rentless children.<br />
There was a terrific program idea!<br />
Agents said so, broadcasting <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
said so, everybody said so. But it took<br />
Walter White llve years to bring his<br />
dream to fulfilment. At last, in July<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1939, be was <strong>of</strong>fered a transc<strong>on</strong>tinental<br />
half-hour oo <strong>the</strong> Mutual-D<strong>on</strong><br />
Lee network and for <strong>the</strong> first time<br />
presented his ide.a <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> alt'. Tbe<br />
record <strong>of</strong> "Nobody's Children" in a<br />
year and a hall ls something to marvel<br />
at.<br />
FIRST, <strong>the</strong>re are <strong>the</strong> youngsters <strong>with</strong><br />
whom Walter White bas worked. In<br />
a year <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> adopti<strong>on</strong>s at <strong>the</strong><br />
Home-Finding Society has increased<br />
by fifty. Rehabilitati<strong>on</strong> and restorati<strong>on</strong><br />
ot broken homes has been comm<strong>on</strong>.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> very first broadcast, Mr. White,<br />
assisted by Georgia 'Fifield, who plays<br />
<strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> Jane <strong>Brent</strong><strong>on</strong>, social worker,<br />
told <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> Jerry and N<strong>on</strong>na,<br />
age two and four, respectively,<br />
bro<strong>the</strong>r and sister ...<br />
Jerry's and N<strong>on</strong>na's !a<strong>the</strong>r had<br />
brought <strong>the</strong>m west from Texas. Their<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>r had deserted <strong>the</strong>m, her courage<br />
broken after <strong>the</strong> ravages <strong>of</strong> a depressi<strong>on</strong><br />
which took from <strong>the</strong>m everything<br />
<strong>the</strong>y possessed.Desperately anxious<br />
to find her, <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r had come<br />
lo California, but <strong>with</strong> little or no<br />
m<strong>on</strong>ey. He and <strong>the</strong> litUe tots faced<br />
hunger, even starvati<strong>on</strong>. The children<br />
were sick and anemic. At last he was<br />
able to place <strong>the</strong>m at <strong>the</strong> Home-Finding<br />
Society. Then, after four m<strong>on</strong>ths<br />
<strong>of</strong> searching, he found a job in Ariz<strong>on</strong>a<br />
for thirty dollars a m<strong>on</strong>th and his living.<br />
There was still time to reclaim<br />
Jerry and N<strong>on</strong>na before he would relinquish<br />
<strong>the</strong>m for adopti<strong>on</strong>, and be<br />
was eager to do so. But he had no<br />
m<strong>on</strong>ey, so he went despairingly to<br />
Ariz<strong>on</strong>a <strong>with</strong>out <strong>the</strong>m.. Just ten days<br />
before he would have to give <strong>the</strong>m<br />
up, Jerry's and N<strong>on</strong>na's story was told<br />
<strong>on</strong> "Nobody's Children." The next<br />
morning a flood or letters poured into<br />
Mr. White's <strong>of</strong>fice.Transportati<strong>on</strong> was<br />
arranged. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> necessary comforts<br />
were provided. Today, thanks to<br />
"Nobody's Children," Jerry and Norma<br />
are happily reunited <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir fa<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
There is also <strong>the</strong> amazing parade <strong>of</strong><br />
important pers<strong>on</strong>alities which "Nobody's<br />

Gene Krup9·. regarded by many as<br />
<strong>the</strong> ace drummer oí <strong>the</strong>m all. Prior<br />
to organizing his own band, Krupa<br />
played <strong>with</strong> Benny Goodman's orchestra,<br />
and did much to help that<br />
individual establish himself as <strong>the</strong><br />
"King <strong>of</strong> Swing." ft was Krupa"s driving,<br />
pulsating style oí drumming, for<br />
instance, which greatly stimulated lhe<br />
Goodman band's virtuoso efforts.<br />
Krupa was also associated <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
famous Blue Friars orchestra in Chicago,<br />
a high-school-days orchestra<br />
which boasted as members Frank<br />
Teschmacher, "Bud" Freeman, Dave<br />
Tough. Jess Stacey, Benny Goodman<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>rs-players who were largely<br />
instrumental in spreading <strong>the</strong> expressive<br />
spirit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Negro's jazz am<strong>on</strong>g<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r white musicians, and eventually,<br />
in <strong>the</strong> creati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> swing. Despite <strong>the</strong><br />
fact that Krupa is <strong>the</strong>ir outstanding<br />
.nstrumentalist, <strong>the</strong> Krupa band is<br />
str<strong>on</strong>g <strong>on</strong> ensemble-playing. When,<br />
however, Krupa does avail himself <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> opportunity to beat himse1f into<br />

muttering over and over a<br />
meaningless phrase, "Ly<strong>on</strong>naise potatoes<br />

ARLTON E. MORSE, writer-genius<br />
o.f "One Man's Family," has<br />
C<br />
received <strong>the</strong> answer to his query <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> radio audience, "Are we still<br />
proud to be Americans?" The questi<strong>on</strong><br />
was posed September 29 in lhe<br />
episode entiUed "Paul Has a Definite<br />
Point <strong>of</strong> View." Teddy heard Paul<br />
typing J:ar into <strong>the</strong> night, next morning<br />
found crumpled paper in his<br />
waste-basket. She showed it to lhe<br />
family and <strong>the</strong>y insisted that !l be<br />
read by Paul. EntiUed "We Are<br />
Proud," it was a powerIuj speech in<br />
free verse voicing a man's pride in<br />
this country. Mlke (Paul) Raffetto<br />
read it, ending <strong>with</strong>:<br />
"For we must be a united force,<br />
<strong>with</strong> courage, wilh dignity, <strong>with</strong> humil:ty,<br />
but <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> wrath oí a<br />
vengeful heaven for any<strong>on</strong>e <strong>with</strong>in<br />

Writer Morse may not have expected<br />
an answer to that broadcast.<br />
But he got ii. It came by teleph<strong>on</strong>e<br />
and wire, by letter and post-card, by<br />
words from friends who heard. All<br />
were proud indeed to repeat "This is<br />
My America." The requests for copies<br />
<strong>of</strong> Paul's speech reached many thousands,<br />

not, better study it." <strong>George</strong> made a<br />
grab tor his ankle, missed, and nearly<br />
fell out <strong>of</strong> his chair. "D<strong>on</strong>'t I always<br />
know my dialog, Legree?"<br />
Up to <strong>the</strong> actor group came a Negro<br />
and a white man, arguing heatedly.<br />
One, Dr. Clifford Severn, is technical<br />
adviser <strong>on</strong> African sequences <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
picture. The o<strong>the</strong>r is Prince Modupe <strong>of</strong><br />
Nigeria, an Oxford h<strong>on</strong>or-student,<br />
witch-doctor, African music expert,<br />
and actor in <strong>the</strong> picture. Greetings<br />
exchanged, <strong>Brent</strong> said to Mod.upe,<br />
"Prince, when are you going to write<br />
that poem Ior me?"<br />
"This inst.ant---before I postp<strong>on</strong>e it<br />
any l<strong>on</strong>ger and break my word altoge<strong>the</strong>r!"<br />
wás <strong>the</strong> reply. From a briefcase<br />
be produced pencil and paper,<br />
squatted <strong>on</strong> his haunches, and began<br />
to write. The service boy, not so black<br />
as Modupe but <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same race,<br />
brought a canvas chair marked "Cast."<br />
It wasn't .in h<strong>on</strong>or o! Modupe, <strong>the</strong> Nigerian<br />
prince. It was .in h<strong>on</strong>or <strong>of</strong><br />
Modupe, <strong>the</strong> actor.<br />
Said <strong>Brent</strong> to Dr. Severn, "In diam<strong>on</strong>d<br />
mines do <strong>the</strong>y wear a holstered<br />
Colt, tied down to <strong>the</strong> leg, such as <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>on</strong>e I've got here? And above all, do<br />
<strong>the</strong>y wear 11 little hunting-knife like a<br />
Boy Scout out híkíng?"<br />
Dr. Severn assured <strong>Brent</strong> bis outfit<br />
was au<strong>the</strong>ntic. "It just seems overdressed,"<br />
grinned <strong>Brent</strong>.<br />
Prince Modupe bad finished <strong>the</strong><br />
poem. Modupe signed a typed copy<br />
for <strong>Brent</strong>; <strong>Brent</strong> signed <strong>on</strong>e for<br />
Modupe. The actor read it. "It's<br />
good!" he·said. He read it again, and<br />
added, "It's very good!"<br />
Tobias and Miss Patrick did a scene<br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> veranda <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> African bungalow.<br />
They were quarreling about<br />
<strong>Brent</strong>. At intervals between various<br />
angles <strong>of</strong> this scene <strong>the</strong> sound-mixer<br />
would glance over and say, "Quiet,<br />
<strong>George</strong>!" <strong>Brent</strong>, inspecting some African<br />
photos in Dr. Severn's collecti<strong>on</strong>,<br />
hadn't been making a sound. Everybody<br />
picks <strong>on</strong> <strong>George</strong>.<br />
ALSO, <strong>the</strong>re was a steady drop-in<br />
trade <strong>of</strong> studio tolk, not c<strong>on</strong>nected<br />
<strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> "South <strong>of</strong> Suez" company, to<br />
see <strong>George</strong>. For <strong>the</strong> most part, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
merely wanted to "visit." An electrician<br />
wanted to make a date to go<br />
deer-hunting. A tentative week-end<br />
arrangement was reached. Then In<br />
came <strong>the</strong> press-agent who wanted<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> to be interviewed by <strong>the</strong> out<strong>of</strong>-town<br />
writer about his love-lire.<br />
With <strong>the</strong> press-agent is a crowd <strong>of</strong><br />
visitors wbo stand <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e toot, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r, a short distance <strong>of</strong>f.<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> saw <strong>the</strong> press-agent coming.<br />
''No!" he yelled.<br />
"W<strong>on</strong>'t you change your mind about<br />
lunch, <strong>George</strong>? She's here now. Maybe<br />
you w<strong>on</strong>'t be able to see her this<br />
afterno<strong>on</strong>."<br />
"No. Besides, I'm going tight into a<br />
scene. And <strong>the</strong>n I'm sick, and busy,<br />
and my Jove-life is my own business-n<br />
Just <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> press-agent saw <strong>the</strong><br />
actor begin sm.iling. He was look.ing<br />
toward <strong>the</strong> crowd <strong>of</strong> visitors, and <strong>the</strong>re<br />
in fr<strong>on</strong>t was a little old lady who<br />
stood making signi6cant gestures <strong>with</strong><br />
a note-book and a program pencil.<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> nodded, made answering gestures.<br />
Smiling widely, <strong>the</strong> lively Utile<br />
oldster came forward. "What shall I<br />
write?" <strong>Brent</strong> asked, talclng <strong>the</strong> book.<br />
"Whatever comes to your mind, s<strong>on</strong>!"<br />
she replied. <strong>Brent</strong> thought a moment,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n wrote, "To <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> a lucky<br />
THEY NEVER MET AGAIN<br />
some<strong>on</strong>e, many blessings and rewards<br />
---Sincerely, <strong>George</strong> <strong>Brent</strong>."<br />
Called before <strong>the</strong> cameras at last,<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> stood <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> advances <strong>of</strong> Lee<br />
Patrick-and right nobly, too. Capetown<br />
was Capetown and <strong>the</strong> past <strong>the</strong><br />
past, he said; today she was <strong>the</strong> wile<br />
oí his employer. He did it several<br />
times <strong>with</strong>out a dialog "mull'.''<br />
Between shots oí Ibis scene, <strong>Brent</strong><br />
suddenly spotted a very pretty girl in<br />
<strong>the</strong> group <strong>of</strong> visitors. At Intervals be<br />
kept looking <strong>of</strong>f-scene at her. "That<br />
girl,'' he told Kissell in an aside, "ought<br />
to be in pictures."<br />
"Why d<strong>on</strong>'t you arrange it, <strong>the</strong>n,<br />
<strong>Brent</strong>?" said Kissell. "Sing it to her."<br />
"Sec<strong>on</strong>d thought, she doesn't bel<strong>on</strong>g<br />
in Hollywood around guys like you,"<br />
jibed <strong>the</strong> actor. 'Tll tell her to slay<br />
away." ·<br />
When he had finished <strong>the</strong> scene he<br />
kept looking at <strong>the</strong> pretty girl. Their<br />
eyes caught squarely <strong>on</strong>ce and she<br />
smiled faintly. <strong>Brent</strong> smiled. But he<br />
couldn't get up nerve enough to go<br />
and introduce hi.mself--or ask some<strong>on</strong>e<br />
to do it for him.<br />
''Look, pal--can't you make that interview<br />
for lun.ch?" <strong>the</strong> press-agent<br />
groaned.<br />
"Sorry, my friend-but i1 you can<br />
get me an interview ... "<br />
"Get you an interview <strong>with</strong> whom?"<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> got c<strong>on</strong>fused, hastily glanced<br />
away from <strong>the</strong> pretty girl. "Nobody.<br />
Skip it."<br />
The visitors went away, but to his<br />
surprise <strong>the</strong> girl remained. He st.rolled<br />
past. he.t. "You're a coward, <strong>Brent</strong>," he<br />
told hírnself, "She wants to meet you."<br />
But somehow he felt that tbe girl<br />
ought to be introduced by her bro<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
or mo<strong>the</strong>r, or dad. One <strong>of</strong> that sort.<br />
Well bred, aristocratic, even.<br />
"One how- fnr lunch!" Kfasell suddenly<br />
roared. Hubbub broke loose.<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> glanced irresolutely at <strong>the</strong> pretty<br />
girl, <strong>the</strong>n fled from <strong>the</strong> stage, in c<strong>on</strong>fusi<strong>on</strong><br />
because he'd caught her looking<br />
squarely at him again.<br />
He lunched <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> dialog director,<br />
Robert Foulk, at a quick-lunch counter<br />
across <strong>the</strong> street.<br />
They finished in twenty minutes.<br />
Then <strong>the</strong>y picked up <strong>the</strong> still photographer,<br />
Mickey Marigold, who said he<br />
was going to dash to Glendale Hospital<br />
to see bis new baby. "Climb in,<br />
Papa, and we'll all go!" said <strong>Brent</strong>.<br />
Seeing a baby <strong>with</strong> a proud papa<br />
takes time. They came back four minutes<br />
late. But it was all right, because<br />
<strong>the</strong> grips hadn't quite finished moving<br />
<strong>the</strong> company from East Africa to Surrey,<br />
England:<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> hastily changed from worn<br />
and stained tropical garb to a stylish<br />
riding-costume. Brenda was wearing a<br />
riding-costume, too, and all afterno<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>y rode l<strong>on</strong>g and rangy Irish hunters<br />
between <strong>the</strong> stables, <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e corner<br />
oí stage twenty-two, to a great old<br />
English country mansi<strong>on</strong>, approximately<br />
in <strong>the</strong> middle o! <strong>the</strong> stage.<br />
<strong>Brent</strong> kept catching glimpses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
pretty girl he'd seen. Imagine! She<br />
must be c<strong>on</strong>nected <strong>with</strong> tbe studio<br />
some way and not a visitor, after aJL<br />
Be'd have to !Ind out. But opportunity<br />
didn't <strong>of</strong>fer. They kept him up<br />
<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> back <strong>of</strong> that horse, or learning<br />
new dialog.<br />
Just <strong>on</strong>e blessing to <strong>the</strong> situati<strong>on</strong>,<br />
thought <strong>Brent</strong>. The press-agent, who<br />
stood around <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> sidelines making<br />
faces at him, could see be actually<br />
didn't have time for an interview.<br />
The day dragged to a close. He saw<br />
actor Eric Blore talking chummily to<br />
<strong>the</strong> pretty girl. Then Sidney Bracey<br />
talked to her. Sec<strong>on</strong>d-Assistant <strong>George</strong><br />
Tobin talked to her. He had to ride a<br />
horse. When <strong>the</strong> press-agent said, "At<br />
least come and meet <strong>the</strong> love-life quizzer,<br />
you big palooka-she<br />
goes away<br />
from town <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> eight o'clock train,"<br />
he didn't merely pretend to be angry;<br />
he was angry. "No!" he shouted.<br />
A bit later, just before quitting time,<br />
he relented. Love-life or no love-file,<br />
be was getting between somebody and<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir way <strong>of</strong> making a living. What i1<br />
be couldn't see that way <strong>of</strong> making<br />
a living? He signaled to <strong>the</strong> glowering<br />
press-agent.<br />
"Okay, Bill, I give in. Let's you and<br />
I take ber to dinner," be said.<br />
"Come <strong>on</strong>, big boy, before you<br />
change what passes for your m.ind!"I<br />
shouted <strong>the</strong> P.-A.<br />
WTH a regretful glance over his<br />
shoulder at <strong>the</strong> pretty girl, who<br />
was talk.ing<strong>with</strong> Director Lewis Seiler<br />
now, <strong>Brent</strong> followed his captor. They<br />
circled <strong>the</strong> set, paused outside <strong>the</strong><br />
stage door. "Wait a minute, I thought<br />
she was right here!" said <strong>the</strong> pressagent.<br />
He dashed back into <strong>the</strong> stage<br />
and returned a few minutes later <strong>with</strong><br />
--<strong>of</strong> course-<strong>the</strong> pretty girll<br />
"I thought you'd never get around<br />
to talking <strong>with</strong> me, Mr. <strong>Brent</strong>!" she<br />
said. ''Now, can I have a few minutes<br />
<strong>of</strong> your time?"<br />
She'd never know how red <strong>Brent</strong>'s<br />
face had turned, under <strong>the</strong> double<br />
coating <strong>of</strong> make-up and sun-brown.<br />
"You can have my time from now <strong>on</strong>,<br />
just as so<strong>on</strong> as I get rid <strong>of</strong> this makeup,"<br />
be said. "You can dine <strong>with</strong> us,<br />
I hope?"<br />
She could, and <strong>the</strong>y did-at a good<br />
spot <strong>on</strong> Ventura Boulevard. They<br />
talked about everytb.ing but <strong>Brent</strong>'s<br />
love-file. Not <strong>on</strong>e word about Ann<br />
Sheridan. Or whe<strong>the</strong>r Holden had anything<br />
to fear because Brenda and <strong>Brent</strong><br />
were paired in "South <strong>of</strong> Suez." All too<br />
so<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> time came wben <strong>the</strong>y had to<br />
rush <strong>the</strong> pretty girl to her hotel.<br />
"Thls is as tar as you go, <strong>George</strong>;<br />
my car's here and I take her to <strong>the</strong><br />
train," <strong>the</strong> press-agent declared.<br />
"But she hasn't got any story yet,"<br />
protested <strong>Brent</strong>.<br />
"We-el, no, but I've had a w<strong>on</strong>derful<br />
time,'' said <strong>the</strong> pretty girl. They looked<br />
l<strong>on</strong>g into each o<strong>the</strong>r's eyes and <strong>the</strong><br />
farewell handclasp lingered. Then <strong>the</strong><br />
girl turned from <strong>the</strong> curb and walked<br />
out <strong>of</strong> his life. He drove away in <strong>the</strong><br />
opposite directi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
That reminded bim <strong>of</strong> something he<br />
couldn't place. Opposite directi<strong>on</strong>swhat<br />
did it mean? It wasn't until he<br />
had taken his hot tub and climbed into<br />
bed at tbe hour o! <strong>10</strong>: 05 that he remembered,<br />
tu.med <strong>the</strong> light <strong>on</strong> again,<br />
and searched his pockets for Prince<br />
Modupe's little verse. It follows:<br />

sp<strong>on</strong>sored broadcast, coming lo Mr.<br />
White's microph<strong>on</strong>e- for nothing.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m volunteer. Starting <strong>the</strong><br />
parade was Barbara Stanwyek, who<br />
had vclunteered her services even before<br />
<strong>the</strong> program was tried out <strong>on</strong> a<br />
network. The story Is that 'She postp<strong>on</strong>ed<br />
her h<strong>on</strong>eymo<strong>on</strong> <strong>with</strong> Robert<br />
Taylor in order to make good <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
Said Barbara: "Or course, I'm Interested<br />
in all welfare work, but I'm particularly<br />

Fay Bainter, whose emoti<strong>on</strong>al performances<br />
arc unparalleled <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
screen, was not so pr<strong>of</strong>essi<strong>on</strong>al when<br />
she came to <strong>the</strong> home and made <strong>the</strong><br />
usual pre-broadcast visit through <strong>the</strong><br />
nursery. So deeply moved was she by<br />
<strong>the</strong> homeless children that later, <strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> broadcast, completely choked wlth<br />
emoti<strong>on</strong>, she broke down. Perhaps this<br />
is something <strong>of</strong> what Mr. White means<br />
when he speaks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mutual benefit<br />
which may accrue to <strong>the</strong> "haves" and<br />
<strong>the</strong> "nave-nots" when <strong>the</strong>y meet <strong>on</strong><br />
"Nobody's Chi.ldrcn."<br />
Many practical-minded Hollywood<br />
folk have followed <strong>the</strong>ir guest appearances<br />
<strong>with</strong> c<strong>on</strong>crete evidences <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>lr<br />

to pick up thirty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children, take<br />

However you may wish to explain<br />
this ast<strong>on</strong>ishing array <strong>of</strong> d<strong>on</strong>ated talent,<br />
it is certainly no cheap publidty<br />
stunt. Admittedly, press-agentt-y reigns<br />
supreme in <strong>the</strong> film capital. Admittedly,<br />
a Coast-to-Coast broadcast <strong>on</strong><br />
"Nobody's Children" is a P.-A.'s<br />
dream. But <strong>the</strong> cynic who explains it<br />
all away as a grand and gíortous publicity<br />
gag does not reck<strong>on</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
real Hollywood. The real Hollywood is<br />
s<strong>of</strong>t-hearted, almost foolishly so. Probably<br />
nowhere is such care lavished <strong>on</strong><br />
children-many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m adopted--as<br />
in Hollywood. Hollywood has a social<br />
c<strong>on</strong>scícusaess bard to find in any o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
community. First <strong>with</strong> aid to China,<br />
aid lo Spain, aid to Britain, as well as<br />
to unfortunates in our own country,<br />
more and more Hollywooders present<br />
lhemselves as champi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> underdog.<br />
Whffi <strong>the</strong> underdog is a homeless<br />
child, <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>on</strong> hand to do <strong>the</strong>ir biL<br />
Many listeners, in and out oí Hollywood-mostly<br />
out-have grasped happmess<br />
for <strong>the</strong>mselves through <strong>the</strong> "Nohody's<br />
Children" broadcasts. Take <strong>the</strong><br />
case <strong>of</strong> Billy Gilbert, filmdom's explosive<br />
dialect comedian. Billy and Mrs.<br />
Gilbert had l<strong>on</strong>g been enthusiastic fans<br />
or "Nobody's Children." After serious<br />
c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong>y came down to <strong>the</strong><br />
home, searching for a child <strong>of</strong> a few<br />
m<strong>on</strong>ths Immediately <strong>the</strong>y bumped<br />
Into a likable twelve-year-old lad.<br />
CHILDREN<br />
His name was Floyd. Nice youngster,<br />
thought Billy, as <strong>the</strong>y walked <strong>on</strong> to<br />
look and play <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> tiny children.<br />
Somehow, though, nei<strong>the</strong>r he nor Mrs.<br />
Gilbert could get Floyd out ot <strong>the</strong>lr<br />
minds. As B.illy says, ''We may have<br />
wanted a baby, but Floyd was our<br />
s<strong>on</strong> from -<strong>the</strong> moment that we saw<br />
him." So now Floyd Gilbert is really<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir adopted s<strong>on</strong>, and no happier boy<br />
--or parents-could be found.<br />
A Negro proprietor <strong>of</strong> a Pasadena<br />
cleaning and pressing store who, like<br />
<strong>the</strong> Gilberts, adopted a child through<br />
<strong>the</strong> "Nobody's Children" broadcasts,<br />
writes to Mr. White, "My wife and I<br />
took a little fellow not quite two years<br />
old from <strong>the</strong> 'Children's Rome last<br />
Tuesday. We had seen and visited him<br />
for quite a while, and when <strong>the</strong>y<br />
called in and said we could come for<br />
him, no two people were ever happier<br />
than us. We have a new house, a large<br />
yard and everything lo make him<br />
happy. The staid charm and quietness<br />
<strong>of</strong> our home was knocked into a<br />
cocked hat when he hit <strong>the</strong> livingroom<br />
1was a victim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> streets,<br />
but I do hope that many parentsto-be<br />
shall enter <strong>the</strong> Children's Home<br />
through your 'doorway to happiness;<br />
and find <strong>the</strong> joy we Iound."<br />
OTHER letters speak tor tbe influence<br />
<strong>of</strong> "Nobody's Children" generally.<br />
Here is <strong>on</strong>e from an ex-captain<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> U. S. Marines: "Picture a stxfoot<br />
four-inch, 250-pound ex-captain<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> toughest Marines <strong>the</strong>se United<br />
States ever saw; for five years captain<br />
ol <strong>the</strong> guard in a Federal penitentiary;<br />
deputy sheriff. supposed to be as hardboiled<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y make <strong>the</strong>m, sitting al<strong>on</strong>e<br />
in his own home Ilstening to your<br />
program-crying like a child. For <strong>the</strong><br />
third c<strong>on</strong>secutive time I've listened<br />
to your kids and 1 have almost reached<br />
<strong>the</strong> point where I'm afraid to try it<br />
again for fear some<strong>on</strong>e will walk in<br />
and catch me."<br />
From an aged woman: "Three and a<br />
half years ago I was bereft oí my<br />
husband, and our marriage was a<br />
childless <strong>on</strong>e. We both were lovers or<br />
children, but it wasn't our good fortune<br />
to have any. We olten talked o!<br />
adopting <strong>on</strong>e, but somehow we never<br />
got to it. Then my husband's health<br />
began lo fail and right after our thirteenth<br />
anniversary he slipped away.<br />
Can you visualize how I<strong>on</strong>ely I am?<br />
But my age and health will not permit<br />
me to adopt a child now, so please<br />
accept this small check to help this<br />
good cause. l listen <strong>with</strong> tears in my<br />
eyes. God bless your w<strong>on</strong>der!ul work!"<br />
These are samples <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> echoes<br />
which come back to Walter White as<br />
his broadcasts find <strong>the</strong>ir way into <strong>the</strong><br />
hearts as well as <strong>the</strong> ears <strong>of</strong> listeners.<br />
And very pleasant echoes <strong>the</strong>y must<br />
bel Echoes <strong>of</strong> gratitude from little children<br />
and grateful men and women<br />
who have found a new happiness in<br />
adopted s<strong>on</strong>s and daughters. Echoes <strong>of</strong><br />
satisfacti<strong>on</strong> from Hollywood celebrities<br />
who have enjoyed helping al<strong>on</strong>g in this<br />
work <strong>of</strong> human kindness. Echoes <strong>of</strong><br />
appreciati<strong>on</strong> !rem listeners or high and<br />
low degree who have found in "Nobody's<br />
Children" an inspiring example<br />
<strong>of</strong> what is <strong>the</strong> American way. A taruous<br />
playwright summed it up ra<strong>the</strong>r well<br />
when he said, "The quality o! mercy<br />
is not strained . . . it is twice blessed,<br />
it blesses him that gives and him that<br />
takes . . . " "Nobody's Children"<br />
capitalizes <strong>on</strong> that quality o! mercy.<br />
