Dorothy Day
AS FAMOUS for her fashion comments
as for the top-drawer “names” she interviews, lovely Dorothy Day, the WINS-WLW
glamor-gal commentator, is easily one of the top personalities in her field.
In between writing and conducting
two programs a day, five days a week, over WINS (one of her programs is also
piped directly to Cincinnati’s WLW), dynamic Dorothy does fashion commentaries
for the country’s leading designers. Recognition of her topflight position in
the field was further evidenced by her selection for the somewhat demanding
task of conducting a fashion show before 22,000 people at last year’s Israel
Orphan Asylum benefit at Madison Square Garden.
Dorothy attends all business
luncheons and women’s expositions gathering material for her radio programs,
all of which she herself writes. Her daily program over WINS from 10:00 to
10:30 A.M., A Woman’s View of What’s New, is a well-balanced combination of
fashion, budget menus, home-decorating and music, plus stimulating interviews
with interest the woman of today.
Every day is Dorothy’s guesting
day. The passing parade of celebrities who have appeared on her programs
include such notables as Mrs. Vincent Astor, the well-known New Yorker; Mrs.
Bernard Gimbel, wife of the philanthropist; Jerry Colonna, William Eythe, Catherine
McLeod, Sonnia Darrin of the movies; Ray Lev, one of the foremost women
pianists in America; leading designers of women’s clothes, including Tsang
Tsing-Ying, Chinese designer; Jean Sablon, the Parisian singer; the Met’s Helen
Jepson, and a host of others.
What especially distinguishes Dorothy
Day from other interviewers is her extraordinary talent for making her guests
feel at home, so that listeners get the full flavor of their guest’s
personality, instead of the somewhat stiff mutterings we all hear from time to
time. Her many listeners regard Dorothy as their good friend, and welcome her
guests as they would her, sincerely, with friendly interest.
