Golden Age of Radio

SAY HELLO TO . . . GEORGE BARNES—the 19-year-old guitarist you’re likely to hear doing solos on almost any NBC musical show originating in Chicago—Club Matinee, Breakfast Club , Plantation Party, Show Boat, to name a few. He plays an amplified guitar, which has a more resonant tone than an ordinary guitar and works with electricity. Because he loved music too much to waste time at anything else, he left high school at the end of his sophomore year and has been playing in bands ever since. He looks like a very calm person, but really has terrible stage fright at the mike. He was married last March to singer Adrienne Guy.

Kay Campbell __has played on almost every network program originating from Chicago. Currently she’s Martha Logan on ABC’s Breakfast Club , Ellie Fits on the CBS Ma Perkins broadcast and Kas Benning of Breakfast with the Bennings, a feature on Chicago’s local station, WMAQ. It all adds up to a day which begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 11:30 p.m. and leaves her poised, blonde and beautiful. She finds time to be local secretary of the American Federation of Radio Artists, too.
