Protection and Parking STAR, WASHINGTON, Folks Behind The Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR. RANK KNIGHT, one of Colum- bia's outsta announcers, came close to becoming & doc- tor, but he's glad now that he didn’t. - He believes radio has all the glamour and thrill of back stage upon _the rise of the curtain, which satisfes his one time desire to be an actor. Knight is tall, well poised, well spoken and well dressed. He was born.in St. John's, Ne wfoundland, May 10, 1894, the son of one of the town’s most promi- nent barristers. He got his first job shortly efter grad- uation grom St. Bonaventure's in St. John's with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and re- mained there until the outbreak of the World ,War, when ; he enlisted and k Knight Served overseas for three years. After the war Knight found himself in New York looking for a job, and finally found a minor role in a the- atrical company. The results are worth mentioning, for after numerous unim- portant roles, he appeared opposite such siars as Nance O'Neill and Frances Larrimore. During that period he dip- ped into radio dramatics at irregular intervals. Each time he found radio more intriguing, and at the insistence of Ted Husing, he deserted the stage to join the announcing staff of WABC in New York. When Columbia pur- chased that station he was retained as an announcer who would also be available for dramatic work. * ok ok % PROMINENT Government official recently made his appearance be- fore a Columbia microphone for- tified with “stickum” to hold up his false teeth. He came through in fine style. * k% % 'O parabolic reflectors, the kind that pick up sound waves, some- what in reverse to the action of a searchlight, are to be used when the opera “Oedipus Rex” is broadcast to- morrow night from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House.
