RUBY DANDRIDGE. RADIOTV TOP PERSONALITY

Ruby Dandridge, one of Holly-wood’s more talented actresses, isa veteran of vaudeville, films andthe theatre, but in recent yearsshe has been best known for twowidely different radio roles, bothcomic, on the CBS Radio network.

Five evenings a week she playsOriole to Hattie McDaniels’s“Beulah.” and on intermittentSaturday nights she is Raindrop,feminine tryant of the MelodyRanch cook house on the “GeneAutry Show.”

Bill Burch, producer-directorof the Autry radio program says:

“When we found Ruby Dan-dridge was available for our pro-gram, we were confronted witha technical problem. Most of ourstories are set around Autry’sranch, an isolated spot in the wideopen spaces. What w’ould a wo-man be doing in such a place, ex-cept working? So it seemed logi-cal that Miss Dandridge shouldbe cast as the ranch cook.

“Traditionally, if there’s oneperson cow'hands respect, it’s thecook.. Any cowpoke who gets outof line is apt to find himself onehungry hombre.”

Daughter of George Frank But-ler, a famous minstrel man, MissDandridge was born in Nashville,Tenn., on March 3, 1903. She be-gan singing and acting when shewas still a youngster in Wichita,Kan.

She attended the ClevelandSchool of Dramatics and beganher professional career in tljstheatre. In Hollywood since 1939she has appeared in such filmsas “Wild Irish Rose,” “DeadReckoning,” “Inside Job,” and“Home in Oklahoma.”

Her top interest in life is herfamily. She has two daughters,Dorothy and Vivian, and twograndchildren, Michael, 8, andHarolyn, 7. Michael’s birth madeMiss Dandridge one of the young-est grandmothers in show busi-ness.
