BEHIND THE MIKE I a i a a a Radio Should Train and Develop Its Own Stars, Eddie Cantor Declares

COMEDIAN CANTOR has something to get off his chest about this radio business, and since Eddie ought to know the talent end of the radio business pretty well, his opinions are important. . “I read with interest," Eddie writes, "that radio needs new personalities. Radio does need new talent, new blood. If no new comedy talent were to appear in the next few years the present comedians would simply sit back and do nothing, feeling secure in their positions. "Granting that there is such a need, how can we explain the fact that it is not being filled? The explanation, I think, is that radio lacks patience. Talent can be developed but it is a slow and gradual process.

7 t can't be done overnight. "New performers in radio are all babies. You don’t expect a baby to do the mile in 1 minute 10 seconds flat. He has to crawl before he can walk, and

and walk before he can run. "Major Bowes is doing a swell Job. H e ha s given more opp o r tunities to people in the last year than til radio has given stnee its advent. Yet where a v e all the people who have come out of his amateur hour? What

i

happens to them after they leave the units? It’s a soft spot to step into the program as an amateur when the public knows you’re an amateur. Competing with professionals is something else again. a a a "Can you imagine an amateur competing with such skillful and professional entertainers as Lawrence Tibbett, Richard Crooks. Frank Parker, Burns and Allen and Jack Benny? "Yet, under the present arrangement, he would have to do so and he would he expected to make good. I claim there Is no substitute for experience. You can’t buy it and you can’t get it quickly. a a a "jp I were head of both radio X chains, this is what I would do. Finding people who showed talent, I wouldn’t put them on the air right away. They would be like green apples, and people would get cramps from listening to them. You must let the fruit ripen. I would give the potential stars bits on different programs, let them learn the microphone technique. I would have expensive writers who would do nothing but write for prospective comedians. Good material would give the young comedian confidence. a a a "Another thing I would do Is eliminate the big build-ups. Nobody on the air has sufficient talent to live up to the glowing descriptions that announcers give. "Sometimes I think some of the sponsors should have their heads opened up so others could see what makes them permit such extravagant introductions before the performers have made good. “The audience is not impressed with such statements. It is antagonized by them. The public is never in sympathy with the great man. It sympathizes with the under dog. v a a a "That is why I myself in my programs prefer to be the subject of cruel Jibes rather than the person who delivers them. The adjectives of announcers describing an entertainer are the silver collar and platinum chain around the neck of the under dog. Take them away—and he’s a mutt. The public loves the mutt. a a a "I believe there is plenty of talent available if the developing process is handled properly. For instance, two Saturdays ago I heard a girl sing and realized she had a voice. Instead of putting her on the air immediately I sent her to A1 Siegal for a few weeks of coaching. With training she will be a hit, whereas if she went on the air now officials would say she was N. G. a a a ••TJERSONALLY, I have always JL welcomed competition. I have brought new people into my own programs. Look at Parkyakakas. He represents a new voice, anew face. He is an excellent comedian and often makes good suggestions. Sometimes I've been asked why I give others the funny lines in my shows. My answer Is that I can stand competition, and when the day comes that I am afraid of competition Jll step out.’’ * a a There is plenty of proof for Eddie's statements. Several of today's best comedians started with his guidance, many of them back in vaudeville days. a a a President Franklin D. Roosevelt is to honor Boy Scouts at 5:35 this afternoon with an address over a combined CBS-NBC chain 'WFBM). The President

.will speak from | the White House {alter being pre- | sented by Walter |W. Head, president of the Boy j Scouts. After I this talk. Dr. I James E. West, I chief Scout ex[ecutive of the • United States, is (to speak from I New York. Dr. West has I been active in Scout work since its founding in

Service Experience to the contrary, there are filling stations or garages every mile and a half on any highway in this country, . according to figures shown today by Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club. He reported that in Indiana there are 5436 filling stations and 2883 garages. In the entire country, he revealed, there are 170,404 filling stations and 86,454 garages. "This network of service means motoring comfort,” said Mr. Stoops. "No longer is the tourist in this country forced to carry a supply of fuel, water, skid chains and tow rope.”

TAX MORATORIUM IN STATE ENDS MONDAY Real Estate of Delinquents to Be Put on Block. Indiana’s three-year tax moratorium on real estate is to end Monday when property upon which taxes are delinquent is to be put on sale, the state board announced today. Members believe that the amount to be put on the block is small. Legislators in the 1932 special session cuspended the 1933 tax sale, and the regular session of 1933 adopted an act premitting delinquents to pay the 1934 taxes and amortize .previous delinquecies over a 10-year period. In 1935, before a tax sale was held, the Leislature postponed sales for the year, and also adopted a measure providing that if taxes for 1935 were paid, even if there were prior delinquencies, the property would not be eligible for sale ;n 1936. Albert F. Walsman, board member, said decision to hold a sale this year came after an examination of the records which showed a large proportion of delinquents were persons and corporations able to pay.

STATE LIBRARY HEAR TALKS AT BUTLER DINNER

Dr. C. B. Coleman Speaks at Final Founders’ Day Event. Butler University today had celebrated its Founders' Day with ceremonies on the campus yesterday and a banquet last night in the Claypool. "The support we give educational institutions does not shift the responsibility which we should feel toward the next generation,” Dr. Christopher B. Coleman, state librarian. said at the banquet. Dr. Coleman, speaking on "Education as an Escape.” pointed out that while continued endowment of facilities for higher education should be made, this action should not preclude a more personal participation in the benefits. He cited Theodore Roosevelt as an example of the resiliency which comes through diversion in cultural pursuits apart from the business at hand. "Mind Is Invigorated” "Occupation with literature and art provides as escape which clarifies and invigorates the mind for triumph over difficulties,” Dr. Coleman said. "It is astonishing how many of the men who bear them best are distinguished for their devotion to liberal arts, as they are called in academic nomenclature. "The chief value of science is the contemplation of nature governed by laws, the ability to appreciate scientific discoveries, the enlargement and recreation of mind experienced in contact with the concepts of ideas of men in science. That, for the most of us, is the ideal of education. *We Shouldn’t Excuse Ourselves’ “We ought to forswear forever the delusion that by holding before our children ideals which we ourselves do not fulfill and by making elaborate provision for the education of the next generation we excuse ourselves from the pursuit of culture and the improvement of the world in which we live.” The banquet ended a celebration which began yesterday morning.
