Excerpt from Television and Radio Announcing Art Gilmore began his radio career as a singer on an independent radio station in Tacoma, Washington. Later, while enrolled as a student at Washington State College, he won a place as a staff announcer on the school's state-owned, college-operated radio station. Although training for a business career at the time, he changed the course of his plans to accept an offer from a Seattle radio station for the job of staff announcer. His early experience in Seattle included the great scope of duties that announcers on small stations nearly always receive. In 1936 Hollywood looked opportune, and Gilmore went to work at CBS soon after his arrival in the film city. He was with that organization for five years during which time he worked with such stars as Bob Hope, Betty Grable, Claudette Colbert, Barbara Stanwyck, Madeline Carroll, Gladys Swarthout, and many others. His staff duties included announcing and narrating the Shakespeare Cycle series; special events, which included broadcasting from Boulder (Hoover) Dam before its completion, Marine planes, a Navy cruiser, a B-17 bomber while still in the experimental stages, the first take-off of the B-19; and many other fascinating broadcasts. In 1941 Gilmore resigned from the staff at CBS to free-lance. Later he went into the Navy where he served aboard a carrier until the war ended. Back again in civvies, he took up his duties where he left off including announcing and teaching radio announcing at the University of Southern California. Gilmore is married to the former Grace Weller of Tacoma; they have two daughters and reside in the San Fernando Valley a short distance from Hollywood.
