Evening star., 1935-01-20

There is much too much anonymous
writing on the air. It is time the
listener had an opportunity of know
ing the names Of the writers who
turn out the good radio scripts. And
the names of the writers who turn
out the very bad ones should be made
public, too. The inclusion Of the few
words this script was written by
James Glover" or whoever the author
happens to be, certainly will not clut-
ter up the air.
TN MIGHTY anxious to hear the
j new show featuring Jack Pearl.
It's an interesting experiment.
Pearl, after making an international
rep as a comedian, will have dra-
matte role he can sink his teeth into
as Peter Pheiffer And think Jack
Pearl is going to influence a whole
lot Of future air entertainment. Billy
Z. Wolls has done a very workman
like job on the script. Wonder
If you heard Gus Edwards with Abe
Lyman's orchestra last Sunday after
noon! Edwards voice, not as young
as it once was, still has a curious
sweetness that gets under your skin.
I think there's o place on the air
for that man.
