1 n't Ad ttfibiflfftr tfilAllA KVEKiNG foflDUtfA, Other Television Promises to Create New Market for "Etheral" Beauty WUh television beginning to gel into fooiu, you'll soon be able to ice lovelies as well as hear them. a reminder of what you've been misting during the all-hear, no-sec stage of radio. Featured players assembled above are: Betty Lou Gerson, top left; June Travis, lower left; Patricia Ryan, top center; Mary Small, bottom center; and Gale Storm, right. BY TOM WOLF (NBA Start Correspondent) NEW America, where a pretty face or fetching figure is a passport to nationwide notice, rarely gets a glimpse of its only truly ethereal beauties. They're the glamor girls the ether, radio's featured players.

Radio always has had more than its share of beauty. Now that television has begun to focus its sky- blue eyes, radio is going to rival the stage and screen combined as America's number one beauty market. Yet while the curls and curves of LI ties of the cinema and stage are now familiar in every village and hamlet from Hollywood to Broadway, to most Americans radio's belles are just so many decibels of faceless, formless voice lovely though that voice may be. Unsatisfactory Substitute Radio audiences have had to sate their curiosity by trying to visualize dream girls to flt those haunt- ing voices which havo been radio's substitute for photographic likenesses. That this is a far from satisfactory substitute is proved by a glance at the faces and figures of five well-known radio voices, assembled here.

Take Betty Lou Gerson, for example. A slim, lithe brunette who tips the scales at 106, Betty is the voice that has been haunting you as Karen Adams in CBS' "Women in White." Blond, gray-eyed Patricia Ryan's voice meant Claudia of CBS' "Claudia and David." It's a familiar voice for many roles, lor Pat has been in radio for 12 years though she's now only 19 years old. Also just 19 is Patricia's network colleague, Gale Storm, whose voica haunts from in "Big This 'brown-haired, green- eyed Texas lass stands -flve-feet- four, weighs 112 pounds. What sort of a girl did you dream up in your mental picture of "Bernice Farraday' in NBC's "Arnold Grimm's Daughter?" Was she pert as redhead June Travis, the tall, slim, blue-eyed starlet who speaks for Bernice on the air? And ten to one you missed on Mary Small. The voice of this dark-haired songstress of Mulual's "Twenty Grand Club" hasn't changed since she broke into radio when she was 11 years old.

Nineteen now, Mary is five-foot-four, weigh's 115 pounds. Dread Glrls'Are Inferior No, dream girls are likely to be pretty inferior facsimilies of the genuine article. Especially since the networks' average comely starlet is a brown-haired, blue-eyed damsel of just over 23 years whose five- foot, three-inches of height scales just 113 pounds. And here's the payoff, boys. Before long, simply by turning a television dial, you'll be able to materialize one of these better-than- dream girls right in your own home.

"PAPA IS ALL" AT THE NIXON -a Theatre Guild Opens Pittsburgh Season Next Monday 0 Broadway's famous producing organization, the Theatre Guild, will offer its first local attraction of the 1941-42 season next Monday evening, November 3, when it presents "Pnpo Is 'a'new comedy, at the Nixon Theatre, Pittsburgh.

Emellne Roche has designed the scenery, "Papa Is All" deals with a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer who rules his family, consisting of a wife and two children, with a rod of iron. He is the complete household tyrant, and frowns generally on the pursuit of pleasure. When his daughter sneaks off to Lancaster to see a movie with a boy friend his anger reaches such a pilch that his obedient but long suffering family is finally stirred to revolt. The rebellion provides the play with its comedy, and its chief dramatic situations. Prices for the engagement of 'Papa Is All" will range from 83 cents to $2.73 for evening performances and from 83 cents to $2.20 for the Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

Dorothy O'Connor, subscription secretary of the Theatre Guild- American Theatre Society, reports from her office in the Nixon Theatre that the organization this year has the largest number of subscribers in its history.
