Tune-In Bulletin for September 25, October 2, 9, 16 and 23!

October 2: The 1940 Worlds Baseball Series begins today, and Mutual is broadcasting it exclusively. Time: 2:30 P.M., E. S. T. . . . Another batch of new programs step into the line-up. . . . Cavalcade of America on NBC-Red at 7:30. . . . Fred Allen, under his new sponsorship, on CBS at 9:00 . . .

October 23: After an evening devoted largely to dramatic programs, it's fun to tune in either Glenn Miller or Kay Kyser at 10:00. li ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Meet Mr. Meek, on CBS at 7:30, E.S.T. (rebroadcast to the West at 9:00, P.S.T.), sponsored by Lifebuoy Soap, starring Frank Readick, Doris Dudley, Adelaide Klein, Jack Smart. Every downtrodden man in the world will enjoy meeting Mr. Mortimer Meek — and the women will like him too. This program isn't dramatic, it isn't a slice of life, and it doesn't have any particular significance, but it's good fun. Meet Mr. Meek rejoices in four stars — Frank Readick in the title role, Doris Dudley as his daughter Peggy, Adelaide Klein as his wife Agatha, and Jack Smart as Agatha's brother Louie — and in four authors. One of the authors outlines the general situation of a half-hour script, then the three others take the outline and write the dialogue and insert the funny lines and incidents. Doris Dudley is the most eccentric member of the cast, and probably one of the most eccentric actresses in radio. She's a wonderful person, but she has some funny ways. Things happen to Doris. One week end last summer she almost got arrested because she made wisecracks into a police-car short-wave radio set that was in operation. The following week end she stopped at a service station to make a phone call, and was emerging from the booth when a bandit entered the station and held it up, taking all her money. Doris was a moderately successful ac tress until last winter, when she played with John Barrymore in "My Dear Children." When John had his much-publicized reconciliation with Elaine Barrie, Doris had to leave the cast so Elaine could have her part. Doris thought this was the unluckiest break an actress could have, but the publicity was so great that she was immediately offered more radio and stage jobs than she could take. She lived in the West Indies when she was a child, and never wore a pair of shoes until she was twelve. Then she bought a flashy red, high-heeled pair for two dollars, and those first shoes are the only ones she's ever liked. Nowadays, as soon as she enters a room she takes her shoes off. Frequently she forgets them and leaves them behind when she departs. She never wears shoes at the microphone, but she always wears gloves, because if she doesn't she bites her fingernails, and the sound goes out over the air. Once, at rehearsal, she left the studio for a few minutes, and while she was gone Jack Smart (an incurable practical joker) persuaded the rest of the cast to kick ofF their shoes and put on gloves. Everyone expected Doris to laugh when she got back. Instead she got mad. Doris has two sons — Skipper, seven, and Little Butch, three. Skipper and Little Butch are the only names they possess. Doris says she hasn't had time to select permanent names for them, and anyway there's plenty of time. 48 SAY HELLO TO . . . JUDITH LOWRY — whom you hear this afternoon as "Stevie" on Joan Blaine's NBC serial. Valiant Lady. Judith has a long and honorable stage career behind her, but now devotes all her time to radio. She comes from Woodhull, Illinois, is animated and authoritative, with lively brown eyes, reddish brown hair, and a highly developed sense of humor. Her chief hobby is astrology, and she amuses herself by reading the horoscopes of her fellowactors in the studios. She has a son who is a doctor in Cleveland, and she's very proud of being a grandmother. Her husband, F. C. Lowry of Houston, Tex., died in 1912. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROE
