out bias or prejudice-without
intent to influence - without
regard to whether the news be
good or bad, favorable or I'M
favorable-is essential TO the
successful operation Of a de-

the development of the Nation

He Has to Be Natural
By MARGARET McMANUs
Bell Syndicate

radio talker, and the master of ceremonies of
Omnibus a PM, alternate Sundays, WRC-D,
is a British-born American citizen, the New
York correspondent for the Manchester
Guardian. He is a reporter of the American
scene on a weekly, l3-minute radio talk on
the BIC; the author of two books; a jazz
pianist something of an authority on the
history of the United States, especially the State
of California, and at all times, he's a CONVEX
sationalist no small art.
In the library of the Madison avenue Offices
of Omnibus Mr.. Cooke slouched comfortably in
an armchair at the head of conference.-the
table, wall of books to his left, and a small
piano behind him. He was crisp, articulate, a
cool man, somewhat detached, man accus-'
toned to editing as he talks.
II believe the virtues of an emcee are mega
tive virtues" he said. "All the things you don't
do are the things that are important. An
emcee is like a waiter. He slips the customers a
fast menu and tells them what is cooking in
the kitchen. He serves the dishes and at the
right moment, he slips away He doesn't stand
around and push the food.

He was the first and has been the only emcee
Of Omnibus, since it went on the air six years
ago. Produced by Robert Saudek, the show has
won 81 major awards, has regular viewing
audience of 10 million people.
Mr. Cooke said that in the doing of his
television chores, the quality he considers the
most imperative is simply the quality of being
himself.
1T sounds remarkably easy, but it is really
remarkably hard" The moment those cameras
are on, there is terrible tendency to become
someone else. This is fatal mistake because

every show. hate teleprompters because who
can be natural while reading lines. can't say
other peoples words anyway. I must use my
own"
Mr. Cooke writes his own framework for
the material of each show. and within this
framework he talks spontaneously, timing so
perfectly as he goes that he and the show have
never yet failed to go of the air together.
