Woman Radio Man's World Place Secure Br Jean Irving United Press Staff Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) As the first woman director of a radio broadcast, Helen Mack, petite actress of the stage and screen, has her own philosophy about women and the professional world. Miss Mack thinks that war or no war, women will never re place men. "Either at work or at home, she said, looking more like a starry-eyed ingenue than an effi cient executive. Behind the glass of a radio control room, Miss Mack has a role that corresponds with that of a motion picture director. She is vivacious and intense, and when she points her pencil, the cast speaks, the orchestra plays, and the sound-effects man comes in on time. "I feel sort of presumptuous telling everyone what to do," she said. "It's frightening like being Shicklegruber himself for a half hour." But Helen Mack doesn't look friehtened. She is definite in ev ery direction . she gives. She knows why she is giving direc tions. With four nroductions of "A Date with Judy" behind her there is jo doubt in anyone's mind that she is doing a good Job. Technicians and cast alike respect her wore; Decause ncr professional background, which years of experience as a stage and screen actress, and her in telligent approach warrant au thority. "The attitude of the cast has been wonderful," she said. "They have accepted me as they would a man and it has given me confidence." The dark-haired, dimpled ex ecutive wuars authority well. A frank and realistic person, Bhe respects the opinions of the ac tors and musicians in the show, and readily admits a lack of knowledge of sound. "However," she added In her quick Impetuous way, "when I am directing, I must do it all myself or no one will know whether I can or not." Miss Mack has a noteworthy film career. Born in Rock Island, 111., and schooled In the atrics in New York, she went on the stage at the age of seven. A Fox agent saw her in a rehear sal of "Cloudy with Showers" when she was 17, gave her a screen test, and brought her to Hollywood. "I was at Fox for a year anci , I was frightened." she said. "Ii played the part of a sweet In genue, and I'm not the type." In "Sweepings" she was a shop girl with character and shej made a name for herself that, has been prominent on Holly-j wood bills ever since. Her lat est picture, "And Now Tomor row," Is soon to be released. Miss Mack actually prefers to I work with men. She believes the professional world should belong to them because they fit; in It by temperament better than women do. Men are intel lectually frank and more Im personal than women, she said. "My hardest Job Is to keep the woman in me under con trol." she added. "When any one disagrees with me. my ln s;tnctive reaction is that it's per sonal. I feel hurt and want to fight back. Instead, I try to fight for self-control and take it 'like a man'." Married to Tom McAvity, di rector of the Joan Davis show, she also likes her new Job be cause it helps her to understand his problems. DEPENDABLE REPAIR Director Sees She isn't just a career girl she has two sons, John, 7, and Tom, Jr., 2. She's learning to play golf because she has been caught applauding in the wrong places when husband Tom de scribed his prowess on the green. At the suggestion that by thejV,AnelM end of the war women will su persede men in the business and professional world, Miss Mack smiled and shook her head. "No," she said, "I'm grateful to Aleen Leslie who writes and owns the show for giving me a chance to produce it, but I'm a great believer in men I think they're wonderful."
