Forty years ago <strong>the</strong> horse and buggy business was supreme-today<br />

from Delaware-'"Since I have been operating (just a little<br />

less than a mooth <strong>of</strong> actual selling) and not <strong>the</strong> full day at<br />

that, because I have been getting organized and had to spend<br />

at least half <strong>the</strong> day in <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice; counting what I have sold<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are sufficient to indicate that <strong>the</strong> worthwhile future<br />

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

right kind <strong>of</strong> man. One man <strong>with</strong> us has already made over<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 />

coming <strong>with</strong> us. That is <strong>the</strong> kind <strong>of</strong> opportunity this business<br />

<strong>of</strong>fers. The fact that this business has attra.ca:d to it such<br />

business meo as former bankers, executives <strong>of</strong> businesses-«<br />

mea who demand <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>the</strong> highest type <strong>of</strong> opportunity and<br />

income-gives a fairly good picture <strong>of</strong> clic kind <strong>of</strong> business this<br />

is. Our door is open, however, to <strong>the</strong> young man looking for<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 />

FRANCIA WHITE, soprano, and<br />

Jemes Melt<strong>on</strong>, tenor, <strong>on</strong> "The Teleph<strong>on</strong>e<br />

Hour" (M<strong>on</strong>.) provide <strong>on</strong>e<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 />

"King <strong>of</strong> Swing." ft was Krupa"s driving,<br />

pulsating style oí drumming, for<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 />

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 />

muttering over and over a<br />

pared to <strong>the</strong> milli<strong>on</strong> dollars' worth <strong>of</strong> newspaper space he collected!<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 />

heritage. For this is America, and<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 />

dollars for a single appearance <strong>on</strong> a<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 />

interested m children. t d<strong>on</strong>'t<br />

feel that it is philanthropy. I feel it is<br />

a duty we owe to <strong>the</strong> youngsters, who<br />

certainly can't help <strong>the</strong>mselves."<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 />

Interest. Joan Bennett chartered a bus<br />

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

<strong>the</strong>m to a preview showing <strong>of</strong> a new<br />

picture and later to a party and<br />

chicken dinner at her home. Each child<br />

carried a valuable gift away <strong>with</strong> him.<br />

Cantor. Burns and Allen, Dick Powell<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 />
