RADIO MIRROR
What's the matter with
you heard that new (Johnson
HAVE Wax) radio show on NBC called
"Fibber McGee and Mollie" yet? Lots
of Chicago people were very glad to hear
that program announced even if it was
to come from New York studios. For
Fibber, who creates wild adventures
around his motor car gypsying around the
country. is none other than Jim Jordan.
And Mollie is his wife, Marion Jordan.
For years they had been plugging along in
Chicago doing all sorts of character and
musical programs. Smackout, Mister
Twister, and the old Smith Family were
some of their better known shows. But
somehow they never did hit big time.
Now many people are hoping their chance
has come.
The Jordans are very clever at imitating
many different voices. In fact on a
recent broadcast series from Chicago they
did so many different parts so convincingly
that the program boss, not realizing
two people do all the parts, assigned them
to a much larger studio with the remark:
"I can't see how in the world such a
crowd of people can work in that small
studio you had before."
Incidentally they come from Peoria, Ill.,
which town also gave radio Andy of
Amos 'n' Andy and Helen King, one of
the three girls known as Clara, Lu and
Em.
Howard Berolzheimers have
THE adopted a six- weeks -old blue -eyed
baby boy. Perhaps you know Mrs. Berolzheimer
better as Isobel Carrothers.
Or maybe she is best known to you as Lu
of Clara, Lu and Em. You haven't seen
much in print about this adoption because
they both feel it is their own personal
business and most decidedly they did not
adopt the child for the publicity Lu might
get out of it.
The girls were very much amused at a
copy sent them of a sign which appears
in the window of a Baltimore restaurant.
The sign reads:
Come In and Meet
Clara, Lu and Em.
Inquiry led to the discovery that the
sign refers to three waitresses in the café
and not to radio's best known backyard
gossips.
MARIO CHAMLEE, the famous lyric
tenor, is one of a trio of famous
people who hold honorary Master of
Music degrees from the University of
Southern California. The other two are
Ignace Jan Paderewski and Madame Ernestine
Schumann -Heink.
Every time we write anything about
Schumann -Heink so many of her stories
come to mind . . . so many stories of
hardships, childhood poverty when black
bread was a blessing, the world war with
her sons fighting against each other. Why,
that woman's life is a shining example of
courage and sustaining endeavor. She
was discharged from her first contract as
an opera singer with the Dresden Court
opera because she married Heink, the
secretary of the organization, in violation
of her contract. To make matters worse
he was discharged too, and the young
lovers found themselves in severe financial
straits for several years following their
rash act. She was only eighteen years old
at the time of her first marriage.
ON SANITARY NAPKINS, TOO.
Guard against this source of
unpleasantness with Mum. No
more doubt and worry when
you use Mum!
MUM
"HERE I sit alone, evening after evening,
reading or listening to the radio.
What's the matter with me? Why don't
men take me out? I'm not so hard to look
at - and I love a good time!"
Poor girl! How surprised and chagrined she would
be if she knew why she is left at home alone.
You can't blame people for avoiding the girl or
woman who is careless about underarm perspiration
odor. It's too unpleasant to tolerate
in anyone, no matter how attractive she may
otherwise be.
There's really no excuse for it when Mum
makes it so easy to keep the underarms fresh, free
from every trace of odor.
Just half a minute is all you need to use Mum.
Then you're safe for the whole day.
Use it any time - after dressing, as well as before.
It's harmless to clothing. It's soothing to
the skin, too - so soothing you can use it right
after shaving your underarms.
Depend upon Mum to prevent all unpleasant
perspiration odor, without preventing perspiration
itself. Then no one will ever have this reason
to avoid you! Bristol- Myers,Inc.,75 West St., N.Y.
takes the odor out
of perspiration
