Cliff Soubier in 1934

Cliff Soubier was an important Chicago radio actor at one time, especially before he played on Vic and Sade near the end of the show's run.

You may or may not know: Soubier played the first speaking part that wasn't Vic, Sade or Rush - he played the part of Mr. Gumpox on the show's sixth anniversary.  The Gumpox character only uttered one word.

Here's Soubier in 1934, when he was a bigger part of the Chicago radio scene:

Vic and Sade newspaper research proves "important"

How important?  Well, important enough to find a mistake a magazine made - and then I made.  And enough info to correct the date as well.

You may remember that I stated the 5th anniversary show featured a talking character, Gumpox.

Well it's all true except it wasn't the 5th anniversary show, but the 6th anniversary show.  So, thanks to a newspaper article, I catch a magazine's mistake.

It also substantiates that Cliff Soubier was the voice of Mr. Gumpox.

Funny that the bet was a HAT of all things...

Being the 6th anniversary also changes the year.
