[URT PETERSON is supervisor of announcers for the National Broadcasting Co. because his handwriting is so bad that no- body can read it. That was how he got his first radio job—a letter | 1 written in lFDIlc&!lon for a job which led to a telephone conversation. His voice did the rest. Peterson_is not iliterate, however. Far from it. He's a graduate of the University of Ore- gon, with a ‘bache- lor of science de- gree dated 1920.° After the gradu- tion ceremonies Peterson got mar- ried and came East to study mu- sic. In New York he found such teachers as Percy Rector Stevens, Reinald Werren- rath and Paul Alt- house. When they discharged him he became a voice teacher himself at a girls' finishing school in Tarrytown. After that radio claimed him. Now Peterson is ranked among the leading network announcers. He also is frequently heard in his musical role of baritone soloist. For further vocal exercises he sings with the choir in the Reform Church at Hackensack, N. J. * K Kk HILLIPS LORD, alias Seth Parker on the air, is planning a tour of the United States and Canada, starting in October. The itinerary has not been completed, but will include most of the larger cities of the two countries. Washington, however, is not on the tentative schedule. The Seth Parker cast also will make the trip. There will be no interruption in the regular Sunday night broad- casts, however, as arrangements will be made to pick them up from the va- rious cities along the route. o AURICE CHEVALIER concludes his present radio series Sunday night and bids adieu to his American! radio audience, at least for the Sum- mer. The French movie star plans to return to his native France for a vaca- tion before the expiration of his 26- week contract, and the sponsors agreed to let him go. The contract called for $100,000 when he signed it in Febru- ary, and has five weeks to run. * ok % % NOTHER celebrity to leave the air soon will be Bobby Jones, who completes his Wednesday night golf chats July 8. N. B.
