BEST BROADCASTS OF 1938-39
The twister of the dial knob.
You rule the wave lengths
By selection.
Do you like it this way ?
Thank you. This way it shall be.
You like it that?
Then that.
We broadcast not to cabbages and walruses.
We do not throw our signals at the moon
But aim for you, and watch to see if we have made a hit.
First Listener. — Say, mister.
Narrator. — Yes, sir?
First Listener. — I rather like this kind of program, but my wife doesn’t. She prefers drama and variety shows.
Second Listener. — Well, as for me, I don’t care so much for variety shows, but I sure love the baseball games and the quiz programs.
Woman. — Myself, I never miss the symphony.
Second Woman. — For the last 6 months I’ve been following that grand serial that comes right after the news in the morning. My son likes to hear the baseball, but I never got around to learning what the game is all about. (Laughs)
Third Listener. — Give me swing anytime. Boy, that Artie Shaw is something. In the groove ! Hey, hey !
Fourth Listener. — Frankly, I don’t like swing. Most of all I like to hear the news come over. Especially Mr. Kaltenborn’s interpretations.
Third Woman. — My little boy always wants to hear that cowboy program at dinnertime, but my daughter Betty gets into a fight with him because she wants to hear that Let’s Pretend program . . . the fairy tales. So I finally had to get two radios to keep peace in the family. Bill, that’s my husband, he likes to hear the sports and politics. But not for me. Well, everybody’s entitled to his opinion, I always say.
Narrator. — Thank aU the heavens and the gods for diff’rences.
Let men’s opinions be as varied and as free to come and go as weather is. . . .
