Major Bowes Amateur Hour draws largest radio audience
Major Edward Bowes keeps drawing the biggest weekly radio audience with his amateur hour. Since March 24, 1935, nearly 300 performers have appeared from over 500,000 applicants with a staff of 10 handling auditions. The show has boosted wages and careers, with many alums joining major studios and theaters. The piece notes Medford, Massachusetts as a surprising source of standout impersonators and mentions impending marriages in the Bowes circle.
