Shown here is Beulah Clark, who appeared on WMBB radio in Chicago. This picture is from the cover of Radio Digest 90 years ago today, January 9, 1926. The station first signed on in 1925, sharing the 1190 frequency with WOK. The stations eventually combined their operations, but left the air in 1928. The station broadcast from the Trianon Ballroom, which the station billed as the World’s Most Beautiful Ballroom, hence the call letters.

According to the magazine, Miss Clark shared beauty secrets with the listeners. Reportedly, “she arouses interest when she is heard and carries conviction when she is seen.”
