I told her they were $1.85 a foot." Then he was hired as a floorwalker in a ladies' dress shop. Amazed at some of the questions asked by he kept a notebook handy to jot down some of them.

He also appeared in commercial and industrial films.

Actors on most radio stations fill out questionnaires to aid the publicity department in writing releases. Here are two of many that might have been selected from Cliff's file. Q.Can you fly a plane? A.Any particular one in mind? Q.Is there some interesting item of information not covered in the questionnaire so far? A.What, f'instance? The point we are trying to make is that seeing the funny side is a way of life with Cliff. I've ever taken myself or anything else too seriously with one exceptions business," he admits frankly. A Hit on TV Norton's niche in the Garrowayat-Large show has grown larger steadily since the program's debut a year ago.

In fact in his first appearance televiewers saw only his hand as it came across the screen and turned the program cards. During one rehearsal Joe Gallicchio, the band leader, left the podium for a moment. Cliff started horsing around with the baton. Stage hands and pr incipals chortled. A few weeks later televiewers saw Cliff in white tie and tails leading the band in Dance of the Hours in one of the funniest video caricatures of this or any other year.

Ted Mills, the show's producer, explained evolution of Cliff Norton in this way: We tried for weeks to find a character for him to portray and realized finally we had had him all the time.

If you mention Paris they think not of Paris on 411w I the Seine, but Paris, her ri home town. Miss McBride has been a great pro-miss McBride moter for Missouri for years. In 'fact, she has achieved a distinction yet to come to President Trumanshe has been especially honored by her native stateWhich last year set aside Nov. 22 for the observance of Mary Margaret McBride day. Mary Margaret.

as all of her fans call her, has been going strong in radio more than 13 years. On her fifth- aniversary, fans filled Grand Central palace in New York City with a birthday party. On her 10th anniversary, Madison Square Garden a jammed. Last summer on her 15th aniversary it took Yankee stadium to accommodate her devotees. She's a Good Reporter Thru the years, altho she hag become a national figure, het broadcasts have been aired mostly on a local basis in New That is going to be changed; starting tomorrow, Mary Margaret will be heard from 9:15 to 10:13 a.

tn. In the Chicago area -thru W-G-N. We hesitate to predict what sort of space will be required to handle her 20th anniversary observance. It doesn't look like Soldiers' field would be big enough to do IQ Mary Margaret's alma mater, the University of Missouri, made her the first woman and the only radio personality to receive the distinguished service medal of its school of journalism for preserving the highest newspaper tradition in radio." That's what Mary Margaret is a good reporter. She works hard up to 18 hours a day to make her one-hour radio show a supe.

rior news show. Perhaps the most important aspect of her show is her technique in interviewing folks. The Grand Llama, Too Mary Margaret has interviewed some 12,000 persons on the air, including cannibals and fan dancers and the grand llama of Tibet. She has one rule with regard to interviewees. She insists on having them on the air first.

If a notable comes to New York City, she will have him on the air first, or she won't have him at all. She doesn't make any exceptions. If she learns that a person has scheduled another appearance and it falls ahead of her interview, she will cancel the appointment. Hence, what her guests have to say is likely to be new and fresh. Miss McBride is not only an exceptionally able reporter but she has a gift for putting her guests at ease and extracting unusual stories and anecdotes from them.

She's a good listener and is able to forget herself completely when she's on the air talking to another. Brings Out Unexpected "I've played straight man, comedienne, doormat, nursemaid, and any number of other roles to the stars," she said recently in an article in Good Housekeeping. All I want is to have them guests shown off to good advantage. I don't care what happens to me. Anybody can do the same thing in a living room.

It's hard work, but it's worth it." Mary Margaret has a genius for bringing out unexpected aspects in the personalities of stars. When she had Jimmy Durante on, instead of the usual laughs about his big nose, Jimmy got to talking about his poverty stricken childhood and both wound up sobbing audibly. Helen Hayes admitted she thought only two of her plays would be successes Coquette" and .4 Victoria Regina." Before openings. she was certain all the remainder would be flops. Jack Dempsey revealed he became a boxer because his mother had bought a book-from a traveling salesman just before the future pugilist was born.

The book was about a prize fighter who was a nice fellow. Know, flow to Sell Bennett Cerf, author and usher, candidly admitted after an appearance with her: Often guest stars become so enthused by the McBride indorsements they sail right into the commercials with her. One day, for instance, I found myself emoting over Bruce Floor wax, altho 10 minutes before, I had been firmly convinced that all wax came from bees." Recently Miss McBride got a note from Capt. Walter Karig, whom she had interviewed. a' Dear Mary Margaret," it began.

"I would rather be with you on the radio than with Ceopatra on the Nile." Just what impact Mary Marga- I ret will make on the midwest can- not be stated for certain. But she's from the midwest and the reaction hereabouts will be inter- V' csting to watch.
