On Audition
October 22, 1956
Barbara Watson and Joel Albert continued to TALK TEMPLE with members of the administration this week when they interviewed Sylvester Aichele. Mr. Aichele, serving in two administrative posts at the University spoke of both his duties as adviser to fraternities and as placement director. Barbara's and Joel's questions were well chosen and gave the guest an opportunity to ramble a bit and elaborate. From present indications, this year's LET'S TALK TEMPLE will probably outrank previous editions. ---------- Because of the vice squad investigations now going on in Philadelphia, Alumni Antics will not be published this week. Seems Gloria was not allowed to take anything home with her from WPEN. She had the column complete but was unable to deliver the merchandise. ---------- One of the funniest shows to originate from WRTI in years is the current edition of What More Can You Say? Last week, producer Ivan Shaner and Lowell Fishman had the panel splitting sides with a yarn about four rather eccentric old ladies sitting in rocking chairs on a corner playing poker and operating several other minor vices on the side. How fantastic can you get? Apparently there's no limit to their imagination. We were glad to hear that the little boy trapped in the movie theatre finally got out, and became a hero at that. Last week the show was live, maybe it's better that way. ---------- Dave Murdock appears as Talent Scout for Nancy Lewis, on Arthur Godfrey's show. ---------- Warren Whiner (as his close friends call him) gave a thrilling exhibition last Monday on the art of cue-giving. ---------- What takes Bob Lamb to Reading these nights? Are you sure it's just a band rehearsal? But Bob, you live in Pottstown! Does the Mann Act cover city boundaries?
With all the perseverance of true theater veterans, Dr. Delwin Dusenbury and Mr. William Seibel staggered into the studio Wednesday to make sure that "The show must go on."
Despite severe colds, they provided a delightful fifteen minutes of information on the New York theater scene. First Nighter stand a good chance of replacing Harry K. Smith and Talk of the Town. Question: Was Mr. Seibel off mike purposely?
One sure-fire way to produce a successful interview show is to invite Miss Steck, journalism instructor, as the interviewee. This is exactly what Bob Lamb did on Meet The Faculty this week. Bob sounded more relaxed than he has in ages. Miss Steck made some heretical remarks about secondary education and group dynamics. She also believes that freedom of the press has been restricted under the Eisenhower administration.
Don Kimberling taking a sudden liking to gum. Especially the kind received daily from Reading from Joan!
A record had ended and he was about to cue Hammer and Zimmer to talk. Our beloved PD wound up his talented right arm and threw a wicked cue-----right into the console...almost broke two fingers. Recovered quickly though and tried again. this time caromed off console, into clip board, hoisting same board into window between control room and studio. The ending to the greatest, if not the loudest and funniest cue on record. P.S. He balled out the announcers for laughing. Didn't see what was so funny. Hey, Warren...ever see a clip board flying at you. Lotsa luck.
Everyone who walked into the studios last week complained how stuffy it was. No one thought of opening a window or latching the door open to let the hot air out......(By this last remark, I didn't want to infer that there's any hot air amongst our radio enthusiasts)......What happened to the air conditioning?
