T was lunch hour on Lower Manhat- tan one sultry day in May, 1922. An idle juryman, excused by the court for the noon recess, was wandering up Broadway in search of diversion. He chanced to pass the American Telephone & Telegraph Building, which housed the studios of WEAF, and decided to go in, just to see what a radio station looked like. Thé juryman J was Graham Mc- Namee, and his casual visit to WEAF on that May noonday was the beginning of a career which bas made him the world’s most fa- mous radio per- sonality. During his nine years on the air, half of which have been spent on the staff of the National Broadcasting Co., McNamee's voice has bscome synonymous in the minds of radio listeners with intense, colorful descriptions of leading sports and news events. Graham McNamee. has rdinals, talked to Presidents Kings, and who ever lved. And he esti- mates that he has used more than 7,000 times the maximum number of words in the dictiona: during his carcer before the microphone. McNamee was a promising concert baritone when he walked into 195 Broadway in May, 1922. He had made a successful concert appearance at Aeolian Hall only a few months before, and he expected to keep his new- fangled radio job only until the con- cert season began again in the Fall. But when October rolled around, McNamee was already attached to radio_and the program executives at WEAF had little trouble inducing him to stay. He began nouncing more and more programs, and singing over the air occasionally as well. Then, in 1923, he received two as- | delibly before him. The managers of | WEAF decided that there should be a radio report of the Harry Greb-Johnny ‘Wilson champlonship fight. No one remembers now just why McNamee was | broadcasters distinctly recall the en- his performance. In the same year h» | described his first world series—a task | which has now become an annual as- signment. McNamee first sprang into national prominence in 1924, when an extcnded | network heard his report of the memo- ‘rabln and protracted Democratic Na- | tional - Convention. As the secsions ‘snetched out, day after day, McName~ supplied breezy interludes of comment and chatter between Alabama’s dron- ing “24 votes for Underwood.” * K oK X | UGLIEMO MARCONI, inventor, will address the American radio i audlence from Eurcpe Wednesday afternoon over a Columbia network. $ 1 OO TOURIST THIRD CLASS dignments which marked his path in- | | picked for the job, but the veteran | thusiasm with which listeners greeted | His topic is “The Beginning of Wire- less.” N.
