On
Suspense

Usually just beyond the white
glare of the flash bulbs when the
stars are being photographed on
the bfg-time airshows are the
unsung heroes of radio, the "Ac-
tors, Anonymous" whose tre-
mendous versatility and super
lative technique make it pos
sible to rehearse and produce
an intricate production such as
Suspense" in one day.
Let's take a for-instance: Paul
Frees.
Here's young actor who re
Gently won two important radio
awards in one week-one of
which named him as the "out-
standing supporting player of
the year"-and still scarcely
anyone, outside the business,
knows who he is.
Did you ever hear of Paul
Frees.
Remember the deep, ominous
voice of the narrator on "Sus-
pense"-the guy who gives you
the shivers as he introduces
g. tale we'll calculated to
keep you in = SUSPENSEp
That's Paul Frees.
/ Remember the hilarious Peter
LORE impersonation on Spike
Jones recording of MY Old
Flame"
That's Paul Frees, too.
Did you happen to hear that
magnificent CHS documentary,
For This We Live" which
pleaded the cause of racial toll
erance so eloquently that it won
brotherhood award from the
National Conference of Christ
ians and Jews? Remember the
narrator who made it all come
alive, so that, for 80 golden
minutes, it actually seemed that
all men tUere brothers-that was
Paul Frees.
Frees is, in a sense, victim
of his own versalitity-for he
has so many voices that he has
no single identity. Described by
Spike Jones as lone of the great
est impersonators in the world"
he has simulated the voices of
virtually every celebrity you can
think of, from the late franklin
Roosevelt to Sidney Greenstreet.
He does every dialect known
to human speech, and often takes
several roles in single produc-
ton.
"It's fun" says Paul, "but I'd
rather be a star"
If radio performers ever start
electing their own stars, you can
bet that Paul Frees name will
be high on the marquee-a
thought which should be some
consolation.

songs of modern times, Para
mount tunes written specially
for the company's pictures have
harvested outstanding exploita-
ton benefit for these produc-
tions. In each case, songs have
been released prior to national
bookings of the films and have
resulted in advance and current
plugs, which have added mate
rally to the crosses of the pic
ture
The first number to hit the
jackpot was ''To Each His Own"
Written by Livingston and Ev-
ans, the song was released just
before the film of the same title,
which starred Olivia de Havil-
land. 1t was an instantaneous
success, playing twenty weeks on
radios popular Saturday night
show, Your Hit Parade" Alto
gether, "To Each His Own" sold
100000 copies of sheet music
and 100000 records.
ParamountS next song to pay
off was Golden Earrings" also
written by Livingston and Ev-
ans. This one played nine weeks
on the Hit Parade. Total sales
of this tune are now more than
100000 in records and 100000
in sheet music.
Hope Song Hit
The current tie-up song is
Buttons and Bows" from The
Paleface," which stars Bob Hope
and Jane Russell. Again a Liv-
ingston and Evans hit, the song
has become so popular that it is
now being given star billing,
along with Hope and Miss Rus
sell, in all the films advertising.
This tune has been on the Hit
Parade for fifteen weeks, ten of
them in the No. l spot.
Two title songs whose melo-
dies aer already being heard on
te aihr waves though the pic
lures which they will help ex-
plot have not yet been released
are "My Own True Love" and
'The Streets of Laredo" The
tunes, in both instances, were
written by Livingston and Ev-
ans, while the films star Phyllis
Calvert and Melvyn Douglas and
William Holden, William Ben
dix, Macdonald Carey and Mona
Freeman, respectively.
my Own True Love" has al

Estimates Agree:
This little racing picture film
ed against the lovely back
grounds of Santa Anita and a
California ranc hhome is a lesser
production, BIT carefully avoids
the faults of low-budget films.
There is no cheapness in atti-
tudes or humor. The dialogue
is kept simple and the actors,
while unknown, are at ease.
Much of the footage is used for
the actual races. In an effort to
add excitement and interest,
the writer's have injected a
lion episode which is
so unconyincing as to be absurd,
but there is a nice brother-sister
relationship, good ethical values
and good music. A-Y,
