Now that he is directing Veronica

She's away from the standard

The temper of the country is re-
vealed. Miss Bourbon says, by the
fact that the listening ladies will
tolerate no evil unpunished or vir-
tue unreWarded.
If advice is given about how to
conduct your personal life, Miss
Bourbon knows that the station
will receive requests for copies of
the script and sees that these are
prepared ahead of time.
If popular voice is replaced, the
housewives threaten by mail to stop
buying the product advertised. but
this is something the stations cam
not change since actors will always
move on to better jobs when they
can get them.
Such are the problems of radio
director
Miss Bourbon's training began at
Oxford University. Born in New
York, daughter Of a newspaper
man. she went to England as
child and attended school there and
in Paris.
Miss Bourbon doesn't seem to
have missed thing.
She studied ballet and danced
with PavloWa, played childrens
games with Noel Coward. knew H.
G.. Wells, published short stories,
was a London drama critic and as
journalist covered the League of
Nations conference for the New
York Times when MusSolini was
reporter on the same story.
Overriding family vetoeS she
went on the stage, making her debut
in London as Lady Agatha in The
Admirable Crichton." That, in
deed, is just what Miss Bourbon
looks like and sounds like an
English lady.
In the early 3OS Miss Bourbon
went to Hollywood to write scena-
rios and got her first breath of COM
mercial air in 1884 playing oppo-
site Leslie Howard.
Today the vast professional field
covered by Miss Bourbon has mar

rect. write and produce for the

her shows. Another actor reads
the same scene with Miss Bourbon
recordings of eight or ten posi-
bilities are made for even minor
roles and then she is ready to talk
about her job as one of the few
woman directors in the radio field
Compared to acting for the air
appearing on the screen or on the
stage is a pushover, asserts Miss
Bourbon. For the theater you re-
hearse for weeks and then play
the same role night after night.
Lazy work, says Miss Bourbon.
unless YOU are on tour.
For the movies, scenes are shot
and reshot until they are correct
as every one knows
But the soap and soup dramas
are something else again.
It's Right-Or Never.
Five times weekly each character
Goes an entirely new script With

Then. for better or for worse, for
richer or for poorer, he goes on the
air to an audience of thousands

It's like jumping in parachute,
comments Miss Bourbon. He must
be right the first time.
She thinks that the two or three
hundred radio performers who dc
the bulk of the parts in broadcast
plays are "the finest actors in the
world"
Miss Bourbon now directs the
Martha Webster" and the Story
of Bess johnson" serials, the latter
the only soap suds story to be
broadcast over both of the major
chains. N. B c. and G. B. S.
In the past seven years she has

Of all the stars the movie ones
endure the worst mike fright. Miss
Bourbon says They Worry them
selves sick over the unfamiliar
medium, knowing that lightning,
makeup and any glamour that is
not in the voice can't mean thing
to the Nations dial-tWirlers.
But the bigger the star the more
eager he is for direction, she has
found.
Around the Columbia Building
the slight and volatile Miss Bour-
bon is a familiar figure, rushing in
and out of elevators to keep a heavy
schedule. She directs five, 15-mln-

Patriotism Has Its Hardships

There's many heartache and headache in this
business of building up national defenses, as
witness the plea of group Of women whose hus-
bands in the naval reserve have been called into
active service The women have written The Times
for an editorial on their plight. Their own letter
on the subject fits the situation better than an
outsider could express it. The letter. in part says:
my husband among others was called to active
duty from the naval reserves. AS result, our in
comes have been reduced to half, and at a time
when rents are higher, along with just about every
other necessity. We receive nothing extra for chill
dren or rent as they do in the army.
"Most Of us were unfortunate enough TO have
debts when the men were called, and that is our
trouble Our creditors are bounding TO death
with collectors and nasty letters, and yet the gov
eminent has been most generous to them by allow
ing them six per cent interest.
"None Of us has objected to this and we'd all
like to pay our bills, but our present salaries
simply won't stretch. We can't ask our children
to go hungry.
I'VE don't mind giving up our plans for new
homes and cars and the luxuries we all love be-
cause there seems to be little patriotism left in
u.s. which is more than can say for some of our
creditors. I'd rather do without now than have
to 60 through what England is at present.
This letter was composed and written by sew
eral Of the wives of the Tacoma reserves, and it
comes straight from the heart Of all Of U.S."
The problem is not altogether new, but it does
emphasize some of the sacrifices forced upon the
folks at home in this business Of practical pa
riotism.
