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

COMEDIAN CANTOR has somethin* 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 in*'rest." Eddie writes, “that radio needs new personalities. Radio does n°ed new talent, new blood. If no new comedy talent were to appear in the next lew years the present comedians would simply sit back and do nothing, feeling secure in their positions. Granting that there is such a need. Ijow 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. It 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 given more opjob. He has p o r trinities to people in the last year than all radio has given since Its advent. Yet where are all the people who have come out of his amateur hour? What

happens to them after they leave the units? It’s a soft spot to step into the program as. an amateur when t.he public knows you're an amateur. Competing with professionals is someihing else again. 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 expeeted to make good. I claim there is no substitute for experience. You can’t buy it and you can’t get it quickly. nun "TF I were head of both radio 1 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. u n n “Another thing I would do is eliminate the big build-ups. Nobody on the air has sufficient talent to live up to thp glowing descriptions that announcers give. “Sometimes I think some of the sponsors should have their heads opened up sc others could see what makes them permit such extravagant introductions before the performers have made good. “The aud.ence 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. o B "That is why I myself in my programs prefer to he 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. an 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 wall be a hit, whereas if she went on the air now officials would say she was N. G. BUB “T)ERSONALLY, 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 compe;ition I’ll step out.” a b b There is plenty of proof for Eddie's statements. Several of today's best comedians started with his guidance, many of them hack in vaudeville days. B B M 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

HOFFMAN FEUD BOOSTS HOPES OF DEMOCRATS G. 0. P. Split Assures State for F. 0. R. Is Prediction of Party Chiefs. By T'nitrd Pr< TRENTON. N. J.. Feb. B.—New Jersey Democratic chiefs believe that the case of Bruno Richard Hauptmann has killed the reputed aspirations of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman to become President and may contribute powerfully to re-election of President R,oosevelt. Reports were current today that several representatives of the Democratic national organization have visited Trenton. Camden and Newark since Gov. Hoffman shouldered a fight for Hauptmann. They report that the Republican organization is hopelessly split, and assured their superiors that Mr. Roosevelt will carry the state. Gov. Hoffman, building a powerful personal organization in G. O. P, ranks, touched off a long-smolder-ing intra-party fight by his intervention for Hauptmann. When he visited the condemned Lindbergh baby killer last October Democratic legislators pounced on him with righteous glee. Such conduct was unseemly, they said. When Gov. Hoffman voted, as a member of the Court of Pardons, to commute Hauptmann’s death sentence to imprisonment, some leaders of his own party ventured warnings. Almost all the newspapers of the state condemned his reprieve. The Republican State Central Committee chose the moment to bring into the open its opposition to Mr. Hoffman's independence. The Hauptmann case offered a good opening for a test of strength. In secret session Wednesday, with 23 of 42 committee members present, a majority voted to establish a permanent headquarters and assume direction of party policies, patr< nage and finances. Gov. Hoffman retorted: “If a fight is demanded there will be a fight.” New Jersey has voted for a Democratic President only twice since 1900.
