LONE RANGER SAVES -
SAM HOUSTON
The Masked Horseman and his
saddle-mate, Tonto, prevent red
skins from going on the warpath,
and so save the life of Sam Hous
ton, president of the Lone Star
State, ruding the WTAW broad
cast of the Lone Ranger, Friday,
September 8, at 6:30 p. m., CWT.
Tre drama is titled “The Pelt of
Mucho Grande.”
***
Listerners to the deey, power
ful voice of Westbrook Van Voor-
his, heard Monday through Friday
over the WTAW in Time Views
the News at 3:30 p. m., CWT, are
invariably surprised when they
learn that instead of the big,
heavy built person they’ve visual
ized him, Van is astonishingly slim
and wiry.
Van Voorhis puts so much ener
gy into multiple tasks that he’ll
probably never gain weight. In ad
dition to his job of narrating the
March of Time and Time Views
the News, Van is also accepted as
“Minister withoue Portfolio” for
Time Inc., and travels some 75,000
miles each year to make personal
appearances throughout the coun
try.

The BLUE Network’s New York
carpentry department has been
called upon to heighten the ef
fectiveness of the My Ture Story
program heard over WTAW Mon
day through Friday mornings at
9:16 a. m., CWT.
Although each broadcast has a
different story evefy yarn is
told in jart, through soliloquies by
the central character. To impart
an eerily detached quality to the
actor’s—or actress’ voice during
these solilipues, Charles Warbur-

ton, one of the directors of My
True Story, ordered a special
booth built. The performer enacts
most of the role at regular studio
microphones. Then when soliloquy
time comes he (usually she,
though) steps into the booth as if
to make a phone call, closes the
sound proof door, reads the lines
into the waiting mike, getting the
mysterious tone into the first per
son lines.

Don McNeill, m. c. of the BLUE
Network’s celebrated Breakfast
Club, received a sharp set back
this morning when he asked Ar
chie, the studio janitor, which por
tion of the Breakfast Club pro
gram he liked best.
“Well,” said Archie, leaning on
his broom, “seems to me the best
part is where you put on ladies’
hats and pass out them orchids.”

“FANNIE HURST PRESENTS”
“Wrath,” the Fannie Hurst love
story of a girl from the Ohio Ri
ver mudflats and a farm boy,

the story. Original organ music
has been composed and will be
played by Abe Goldman.

impatient, Philip married Judith
before he had time to build a de
cent house in which to live. The
struggle to build a plantation, the
tedious supervision of planting
crops, the skillful management of
slave labor, and the initiation of
graceful living in a country long
accustomed to the roughness of
the pioneer are the themes which
weave themselves into a romantic
and exciting story.
The Handsome Road, a story of
the Civil War and of the period of
Reconstruction, interprets the
South’s attitude concerning the war
from the social point of view. In
telling the story, Gwen Bristow
manages to contrast the Rich Plan
tation class with the Poor White
class. Corrie May Upjohn, a girl of
the water front, more intelligent
than most of her associates, dis
covers that the Poor Whites in
their ignorance are actually fight
ing the war to protect the inter
ests of the wealthy property and
slave owners and to perpetuate
their own degraded condition. The
Poor Whites didn’t have a chance
during this period; yet, Corrie May,
in spite of (perhaps because of!)
her impatience, is a promise for
a better future.
This Side of Glory begins in 1912
and extends to several years after
the World War. Fred Upjohn, son
of the poor whites, has risen in
the world the hard way. His swift
and sure success as a business
man has gained for him the re
spect and admiration of rthe people
spect and admiration of people in
New Orleans. Eleanor, his daugh
ter, patterned after her father,
is well-educated and intelligent.
She is working fo rher father, when
she meets Kster Larne—charming
descendant of the famous Southern
family and heir to Ardeith, their
magnificent plantation. By this
time, however, most of the Larne
money is gone, and Kester is little
more than a symbol of their de
clining power. When Kester and
Eleanor meet, it is the introduc
tion of the product of the Old to
that of the New South. Their strug
gle for adjustment on a personal
basis is as difficult as the extend
ed struggle of these two social
classes in the South.
Deep Summer, Handsome Road,
and This Side of Glory are good
stories—colorful, romantic, and en
tertaining. The first two of the
series, because of the period which
they depict, have more atmosphere
and are more dramatic. Gwen Bris
tow likes her people and the beau
tiful life they lived—a life that has
almost faded now. Recommended
for pleasure and entertainment,
these books create for the read 0 ”
the romance and adventure of
Louisiana’s colorful history.
