Excerpt from Radio Revue, Vol. 1: For the Listener; December, 1929
How did it start and what caused it? The mete orie rise of this young orchestra leader, accomplished almost entirely through the medium of radio, is the out standing feature oi the year in broadcasting circles.
The hold that radio's first matinée idol has on the hearts of the women of the country, is truly startling. It was his crooning of sentimental ballads over the radio that first brought him into the public eye and this same suave, seductive manner of singing is now rapidly on its Way to becoming a national institution.
