(“Pappy”)…born in Emporia, Kansas and lived for several years in Texas. “Pappy” was in show business for 24 years before entering radio at KFH, Wichita, Kansas. For several years he played character and comedy parts in musical comedies, among those the well known “High Jinks.” For two years he had his own stock company, which played throughout the Middle West. “Pappy” Cheshire’s hillbillies, for the last five years one of the most popular KMOX musical units, currently hold the national championship in their field. They won that title in competition with thousands of hillbilly musicians at the Municipal Auditorium in St. Louis, MO. In 1938 they withdrew from further contests after having won the title for three consecutive years.

Twenty-four years of theatrical experience and the past six years spent in the radio field insure the listener of a well balanced and entertaining program. “Pappy,” beloved “maestro of the mountains,” has the confidence and good will of his radio audience. He has surrounded himself with a group of truly champion entertainers. Instrumentalists, singers and comedians are included in his hillbilly performances. He has built his champion group from a small unit of five people to one of the largest groups of its type in radio – some twenty artists. During 1939, “Pappy” was on the air 746 hours and 12 minutes – averaging better than two hours a day for both local and network programs. He and his group have become famous for their willingness and eagerness to help in bringing happiness to thousands of shut-ins, making many trips each year to various prisons, hospitals, children’s homes, and to homes of the aged and the blind.
