Shown here, from the November 1925 issue of Radio Age, is actress June Marlowe. She is probably best remembered for her role as teacher Miss Crabtree in the Our Gang/Little Rascalsshort features of the 1930s. She had also acted in silent films, but the magazine billed her as Radio’s Prettiest Announcer. It appears, however, that she had little professional involvement in radio.
The magazine notes that she had been won over by radio, and quoted her as saying, “it is so vast and awe-inspiring.” It reported that she put such a feeling of interest into her radio presentations that her listeners acclaimed her from the start. She had acted as anouncer “for an entire evening” on KFWB, which had signed on to the Los Angeles airwaves earlier that year.
Marlowe died in 1984 at the age of 82.
