  • Trivia
    Host of CBS Radio's "Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour" (1934-1946).
  • Quotes
    The amateur can be invited to the microphone on the underlying theory of finding new talent. This sort of show must be a sincere effort to help those who have faith in themselves. Everything doesn't have to be funny on an amateur hour. Neither can the show be prepared in advance, for if it is the amateur becomes frozen. It must be a pot-luck broadcast with spontaneity the keynote. What the neophyte does at the microphone unconsciously and naturally is what counts.
