The American Academy of Arts and Letters in awarding him honor- able mention in its annual good diction contest over the radio has placed him in that select group which every an- nouricer strives to reach. John W. Holbrook, N. B. C. an- nouncer in New York, received the 1931 gold medal prize award, but Aber- nathy is just as proud of the recog- nition given him by the committee of jud After all, the committee placed him in the same class with David Ross, Co- lumbia announcer in New York, and CNCII’D and that's quite a distinction in Abernathy’s way of thinking. Abernathy ‘came to WRC in Sep- tember, 1930, a veteran of the stage, with a wide background of experience before the microphone in Detroit. A native of Petersburg, Va. Aber- nathy is 37 years old. He started out in life to be a railroad man, serving Bill Abernathy. - | his_apprenticeship in the freight rate department of the Atlantic Coast Line in Petersburg. Two years later he went to Detroit with the Michigan Central. In Detroit Abernathy organized the Lotus Quartet, which made its debut over Station WWJ. For six years the quartet was a regular feature at WWJ. Encounged by his success, Abernathy then cecided to go on the stage. In 1925 he went to New York and joined the Schul * “Student Prince”” com- pany. For 75 weeks he remained with this show, and in the second season he was given the bass lead. Engagements followed in the “Love Call” and “M: Maryland” companies, and then in 1927 he got his biggest thrill when he was given several parts in Hammerstein's “Good Boy.” * ok x % GRAHAM McNAMEE has just re- to be a meat-wagoen driver. back in his younger days at St. Paul. He liked the work all right, but had to give it up after 12 weeks. Graham said a too-active 'se was to blame.
