(CST),, literally sang her way out of a traffic jam last week. Miss Singer passed a red light driving on Fifth Avenue in her robin’s egg blue Rolls Royce, while rushing to a broadcast. One of “New York's Finest” ap- proached her and began to re- primand her severely for the traffic violation, and then start- ed to give Sally a summons. Miss Singer explained that she was hurrying to a broadcast and that she sang with Leo Reisman’s orchestra. “Well, if you're Sally Singer, Jet’s hear yuh sing. I know her voice because of its deepness,” the officer continued. Sally sang a few bars of the Leo Reisman theme song to the utmost satisfaction of the po- liceman, who personally saw to it that Miss Singer got to her broadcast on time. AUTHOR OF GIBSON FAMILY RADIO PLAY HAS BEEN PROLIFIC Owen Davis, Writing for the Stage 36 Years, Turned Out Over 400 Plays New York, Dec. 22.—Owen Davis, the new author of the Gibson Fam- ily, belies his own theory that it’s harder to remain a dramatist than to become one. For, in 36 years of writing for the stage, the famous playwright has turned out more than 400 plays, and now he is writing a full hour script for the Gibson Fam-| ily broadcasts over an NBC-WEAF! Hr-| coast-to-coast network each Saturday at 8:30 p. m. (CST). 1898, In that year he sold “Through the Breakers” to Gus Hill and despite the fact that he was an unknown writer the play caught on and had ® run of five years. The preliminary success gave Davis encouragement to go on. He had come to New York, fresh from Har- vard, with exactly $12 in his pocket. He had been first an actor, later a manager and finally became a full- fledged writer. He began to study "| the audience by sitting in the back row>. “What I thought the public want: ed wasn’t very much appreciated, says Davis. “Therefore, I began to revise my formula and found that the melodrama of the era followed a pat- tern. Somehow or other I got the combination ‘and wrote about two hundred of them.” By 1910 Davis began to turn his attention to comedy. His writings struck the popular fancy and his plays have been on the boards almost con- tinuously since his first production. “Icebound” won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1923, “The Nervous Wreck” is another of his most popular works. He adapted “The Good Earth” for Broadway in 1931 with his son, Don- ald. It took him 11 months to write “The Nervous Wreck” while he did “Easy Come, Easy Go” in less than two weeks. Davis still is writing plays and is collaborating with his sons, Owen, Jr., and Donald. Writing espe- clally for radio in the Gibson Fam- ily broadcasts is a new venture for him, but one which he is meeting as successfully as he did the chal- lenge of the stage. wi al suggests to Shirley Howard, NBC bird, that the only man who real- beats time in the studios is the from Nellie Revell, NBC's reporter and interviewer, the sheep of a family often turns out to be a blonde!
