THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1931 Amos ’n’ Andy, Radio Entertainers, Write All Skits. They Present ANDY HIMSELF SITS ATTYPEWRITER AND COPIES LINES DOWN Amos Walks About Room Dic- tating, but Pair Shares Production Work MADE DEBUT JAN. 12, 1925) Amos in Real Life Is Freeman Gosden, While Andy Is Charles J. Correll Chicago, Jan 24—(NEA)—In a tall skyscraper office in this city, Free- man F. Gosden and Charles J. Cor- rell, creators of Amos ‘n’ Andy, meet daily to prepare and rehearse a 15- minute act in the drama that has brought smiles and tears to the larg- est continued audience that ever lis- tened to any one pair of performers. Unlike many other radio features, the two characters in this popular series, heard three times each night over a network of stations associated with the National Broadcasting com- pany, write every line they speak themselves. This, is usually done two or three days before the program goes on the air. Correll and Gosden, who live in the same Chicago apartment build- ing, arrive at their office together between 11 and noon every week-day morning. During the next three or four hours the work of writing the script to be broadcast two or three days later is accomplished. These meetings have been going on continuously for exactly six years. After ties are loosened, coats and vests removed, cigars lighted, the meeting begins. But it is not poor, overworked Amos who sits down at the typewriter to transcribe the dictated script. It is lordly, overbearing Andy! And as Amos, in the person of Freeman Gos- hee paces back and forth through room, trying lines, dictating, Charles J. Correll, Andy himself, sits at the typewriter and writes the lines down as they are spoken. Share Work Equally This does not mean that Amos | writes the entire script. In fact the work is evenly divided between the two, and both Amos ‘n’ Andy are largely responsible for the lines they | speak on the air. A few minutes conversation, a little gossip, a few minutes of oral outlin- ing of the situation and the plot, and the work begins. Sometimes it takes only a half hour to complete the four single-spaced typewritten pages necessary for their 10 or 12.minutes on the air. Sometimes, when an especially im- | portant épisode 1s to be written, it takes them until almost time to go on the air. And sometimes several hours of thought and discussion pre- cede the writing of a single line. Both Amos 'n’ Andy, however, are confident they can write their epi- sodes much more rapidly than when they first began their radio work as “Sam 'n’ Henry” with station WGN, Chicago. How Idea Began “It all started,” Correll recalls, “when some one on the WGN staff asked us to organize a cast of actors for the presentation each night of a comic strip of the air. The original idea was to have four or five actors. “But Gos and I talked it over and decided such a cast would be un- wieldy for a nightly feature. There would be too little time for rehear- sal, and we did not think. things would move smoothly enough. So we suggested a two-character cast, capable of ‘doubling’ and presented the original ‘Sam ’n’ Henry’ idea which later became ‘Amos 'n’ Andy’; when we left WGN.” { “Yes, and do you remember how they received our first suggestion?” Gosden interposed. Correll chuckled. “I guess our outline didn’t sound) 80 good,” he continued. “The man- agement of the station said it wouldn't do, so we almost forgot about it. About two months later we were hur- riedly sent for and told that the series ould go on the air the next night.” Gosden took up the story. “Boy, what a night that was! It was Jan. 11, 1925. It was an all night session. Then, on the night of Jan. 12, we broadcast ‘Sam 'n’ Henry’ for the first time.” Feared Act Would Flop “Boy, were we scared! For four months only a very few people knew that Correll and Gosden were the creators of ‘Sam 'n’ Henry.’ We were afraid it would flop and we didn’t want our names associated with anything that wasn’t a success, because we had already built up some reputation as a harmony duo. “And our first bit of mail didn’t reassure us any. “It came after we had been on the air three nights,” Correll chuckled, “and it was written on a postcard in pencil. It ran something like this: “ ‘I've been listening to you three nights and I don’t like you.’ ” It’s all changed, however, for of the STICKERS i the Amos 'n’ | forced to disappear from the air.

Goodmaster was said to have re- ceived orders to await the arrival of Homer T. Dare, who had se- cretly booked for a part of the voyage. Whether this was true or not, it was a fact that on being informed by wireless of Pearl’s predicament, he had immediately called for a plane to meet him at sea, take him off his steamer and fly him to Tokio in order to speed his arrival.

That | was: “Shall we give the public legiti- mate, genuine negro dialect and situ- ation, or shall we stick to the stage- minstrel type of story and dialogue?” | Decided on Real Stuif And before the sun rose on the | morning of Jan. 12, Amos 'n’ Andy | had decided that, regardless of what the public wanted or had been used | to, their efforts would always be to- | ward genuineness and realism in the portrayal of human nature and ac- tions. They have never wavered in that decision. Even today, after writing | the dialogues has become almost sec- | ond nature to them, every script is subjected to the most searching self- | criticism before it is permitted to go on the air. In working on their scripts, Amos ‘n’ Andy take every precaution to assure absolute privacy. -No person, not even their wives, ever watches them work. The office telephone number is a jealously guarded secret known only to their families and a few privileged persons. This is not because Correll and Gosden are conceited, for they are two of the most democratic persons in the world. ‘It is because they have @ serious job, and they insist that they be given the time and the op- portunity to do it right. Occasionally, however, interviewers manage to get into the sanctum sanctorum without apointment. Introduction of Kingfish Once a salesman gave Amos ’n’ Andy quite an impassioned sales talk on the merits of an issue of bank bonds which he was selling. No bonds were bought, but, in a few weeks, the Kingfish and his now fa- mous bank were first rapeseed into eries. But interruptions must not be fre- quent, or Amos ‘n’ Andy might be words, and six are turned out every | words of copy yearly. Since they be- | gan their careers, Correll and Gosden have turned out some 1800 episodes.
