or Radio Listeners
By Harry Macarthur

This picking on Frank Sinatrs
has got to stop. We do not care
what the Hollywood professional
gossips have to say about his co.
operation or lack of cooperation
with the press. We do not care
what the columnists have to say
about his private affairs, such as hi
recent spectacular departure from
and return to married life. But
when Sinatra's critics start to be-
rate him for displaying tempera-
ment by barring bobby-soxers from
his broadcasts, the time has come
to get in the fight, too.
Making that recent decision tc
bar screaming adolescents from his
studio was the smartest move
Frankie has made as a radio per-
former in long time. 1t has netted
him a lot of publicity, of course
but-and this is much more i'm
portant-it has again made it pos
sible for normal people to listen to
his radio program without wincing
The hysteria the kiddies gave way
to at a tricky giissando or a mere
sigh from Sinatra was reaching
alarming proportions when the
singer realized that all that is adula-
tion is not art.
Defenders of the adolescents claim
that the boby-soXers made Sinatra
what he is today and he should
be ashamed to turn his back on
them now. Bosh! Probably no one
is more aware than Sinatra that
this abnormal devotion of the bob
by-soX set had lot to do in the
last few years with lifting him to
prominence. For this reason the
decision to bar these ardent sup
porters from his broadcasts may
have been a hard one to come to,
and probably was or it would have
been done long ago.
Let the adolescents complain
when Sinatra makes a personal ap-
pearance and has all those under
q refused admittance to the the
ater. They would have legitimate
complaint if things ever came to
such an improbable pass as that.
but radio is something else. Radio,
as an entertainment medium, is de-
signed for the diversion of several
million people all over the country
and not for the 1,000-odd who gather
in a converted New York theater
to see a free show. A number of
rodio rerforroers seam IN have for
gotten this, but since Sinatra has
rediscovered it, he deserves the
thanks of listeners rather than the
charge that he is a temperamental
singer.
