Radio

We quote from the gaudy Manhattan column of a months old issue of one of New York's subway circulating newspapers—

"The resplendent pages and guides at N.B.C. will give a minstrel show at the Ritz theatre Thursday nite as a benefit for the Greater New York Fund. The show will be a two hour version of three television programs which the boys worked up, plus some new songs written by BobButton and Stephen de Baun. Button is Dartmouth "

Classmate Button's career to date has been Algiersian. Three years with the Guaranty Trust—enough to discouragemost lesser men—with Brooklyn night law school thrown in as the clincher. Jazz bands over the weekends to occupy spare time. Then out of Wall St.—Messenger boy for the NBC—songs for television—trip to Bermuda as a piano player for special television experiments—recognition of worth—and now gabardined, stiff-collared Bob sits in a glass office with a glass door with "R. E. Button" in big black letters, and what they call him is Assistant Director of Commercial Programs for the Eastern Division of NBC. All of which sounds like a darn nice job and very nice going.
