LOU VERNON: Versatile Radio Star
Lov VERNON, whom listeners know as "Dr. Mac," has been doing a considerable amount of radio work during the past six years. He is such an excellent character actor that it is possible listeners have not been able to recognise him in his various roles. When Vernon plays a character he becomes that character, living the part in earnest. His personality is elastic, and he is a master of make-up. Prior to his association with the Australian Broadcasting Commission, he worked for a number of years under the J. C. Williamson banner, playing during that time character parts of many and varied types. It can be said that he was never twice the same. New Zealanders have seen him on the stage in such shows as "‘ Rose Marie," in which he played Rose. Marie’s brother, and. " The Student Prince" revival, in which he portrayed that lovable old character, Dr. Engel. "Dr. Mac" is heard over all ZB stations on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.15 p.m.
