actress de luxe, into the broad
casting limelight
Of the type that demonstrates
the need of television. Miss Gardi

ing poetry, composing songs and
dancing, not to mention amateur
theatricals, before she found
place before the microphone that
Today she Is featured, if not head
lined. In numerous programs on
the NBC networft, all because her
voice permits her to play a wide
variety of roles in the radio
drama. She can be extremely
emotional In one program, and
in the next, as comical as any one.
Her personality, which she
manages to commsaicate to the
listener despite the invisible me
dian through which it much tra
vel. Is "different. The com bias-,
tlon of beaaty and Tonlh, triHe
important assets, is not her only
tribute -She is tan and stately, a
pleasing conversationalist, and her
vlvacionsness is easily communi
cated to her listeners. She has
acquired a pleasing microphone
technique.
It was an ambition to sing that
took Miss Gardiner to NBC for an
audition. Her first words, ad
dressed to Raymond Knight,
brought her tryout as a radio
actress Instead. A -little instruc
tion, and on the air she went. -
That day, six months ago, is set
down. In 'her mind as her real
start toward a career.
Miss Gardiner appears regular
ly in the Empire Builders, in the
Sliver Flute, and is Margo in Mys
tery House. She has two roles in
Raymond Kngiht's Cuckoo, one
ai Ethel -Carrymore and the other
as an incorrigible little girl. To
demonstrate that she has not for
gotten io-sktg,.-her soprano voice
often is heard in' Empire Builders
in addition to the character she
portrays.
Listeners seem to think well of
her. One of them, a cowboy in
Texas, wrote a song for her. He
called it "I'll dry your tears
away." Another, probably one of
the male sex, too, writes her seven-page
letters. Once when she
appeared la a program which was
retransmitted in Germany, a Ber
lin radio magazine carried her
picture.
While she hopes literally to
travel further in radio, she spends
the spare time of her nine-hour
days writing short stories. She
admitted that she hsd nola Jione
of them, but that she had high
hopes.

JUIAlil BEACH. Fla. -(AP)
With a mental library of U00 lj
rics and scores. Bill Williams. 32,
U -TOki. Man guashlnV; oa the
radio.
He -likes to Jlay and sing old
fashioned, sentlmantaj songs an
ballads. He cannot put his heart
into modern melodies.
He was plain Bill Williams as a
railroad . telegrapher, structural
iron worker, Canadian infantry
man during the World war, dirt
track automobile racer and licen
sed pilot. He gained his sobriquet
when be answered the request ot
a Birmingham, Ala., tot to sing.
Several days later the youngster
called him "Old Man Sunshine" lnr
a letter, ot thanks.
Before he was a radio enter
tainer. Williams lost his right leg
in the battle of Ypres as a mem
ber of the 126th Canadian regi
ment. Leaving army hospitals to
rebuild hts health, he also built
his personality as a conveyor of
cheery messages and songs over,
the radio. . .
"I'm a sort of radio ancestor,".
Bill explained. "I started at
WHAC, Lansing, Mich., when our
equipment was a 50-watt set
screwed on a kitchen table."
During the 1928 election Wil
liams broadcast returns for nine
hours steadily. When results ran
out he adlibbed with songs and
piano playing. He now holds a
permanent berth at WIOD here.
Broadcasting, however, is not
all of Bill's radio work. He likes
to tinker with the apparatus that
throws his "whispering baritone"
songs over the south.
