variety of ego has been revealed—confined solely to the radio entertainer. ~

Most notables—whether in business. politics, stage or screen—are content with their own eminence. But not so the radio headliner. He —or she—now seeks twofold, threefold or even fourfold fame, depending upon the degree of his, or her, vanity. Virginia Flohri and Robert Hurd, stars at KFI here, have adopted the use of fictious names for broadcasting purposes. Both are classical vocalists and are Introduced by their right names when singing such selections. But each has three other names by which they “go on the air.” Despite the satisfaction enjoyed by these artists from their fourfold popularity, they guard their assumed names with hawk like vigilance. It is one secret which so far has failed to penetrate the walls of KFl's studio. Might Be Disappointment Perhaps they are right In keeping their names a mystery. It.would be a terrible blow to some young flapper should she learn that the silvertoned Mr. So and So, to whom she had written complimenting him on his singing of “Sweet Adeline,” should turn out to be only Robert Hurd, a classical singer. And it would be equally disconcerting for some lonely bachelor to fall In love with a voice he supposed to be that of Miss Doe and then learn that its possessor was Virginia Flohri. Hurd sings classical songs under

Popular and Unpopular It ljj interesting to read some of his fan letters. Occasionally one addressed to a fictitious name will read; “I enjoyed your songs last night ever so much. I think your voice is far better than that of Robert Hurd, who also sings over KFI.” Miss Flohrt uses two names while singing and is Introduced by two others when giving piano solos. As one pianist she plays operatic melodies, while as another she Is a jaza artist. Her fan mail for the latter exceeds that received under her own name or either of the other assumed names. Other radio entertainers throughout America have adopted this same method of satisfying their ego with ever increasing fan mail. And they alone can do it. since only the radio affords means by which this deception can be practiced. The public’s ears may be fooled—• but their eyes would frustrate such efforts. ENTER, “SPEAKIE” FANS “Speakle” fans is a term intro duced to describe adherents of the radio adapted moving picture which is a feature of many large broadcasting stations.
