JUNE 28: There are an awful lot of final broadcasts for you to listen to tonight —The Ask-it-Basket on CBS at 7:30, Gang Busters on CBS at 8:00, Fred Allen's Town Hall Tonight on NBC-Red at 9:00, the Texaco Star Theater on CBS at 9:00, Edgar Guest on CBS at 10:00 — but here's hoping they'll all be back in the fall. . . . Joe Louis and Tony Galento fight in the Yankee Stadium tonight, if all the sports promoters' plans go through, and NBC will describe the battle to you. July 5: What's My Name, a quiz show, starring Arlene Francis and Fred Uttal, takes Fred Allen's place on NBC-Red tonight at 9:00. . . . Phil Baker changes broadcast time, beginning tonight — from now on, Wednesdays at 8:00. July 12: On NBC horserace fans this afternoon hear the Massachusetts Handicap. . . . Leighton Noble's orchestra starts an engagement at the Baker Hotel, Dallas, Texas, tonight, heard on NBC. July 19: Brush up on your musical knowledge with Kay Kyser's Kollege, on NBCRed at 10:00 tonight. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: One Man's Family, on NBC's Red Network from 8:00 to 8:30 P.M., Eastern Daylight Time, sponsored by Tender Leaf Tea. (If you live in the Pacific Coast time zone, you hear it, Sunday nights at 8:30.) This dean of family serials has been on the air since April 29, 1932, and on the NBC network since May, 1933. In all that time it's never changed its theme song, "Destiny," or its basic cast (although new players are added as new characters enter the story); but it has moved from San Francisco, where it first originated, to Hollywood, where it is now broadcast from Studio G in the Hollywood Radio City. The real boss of One Man's Family never appears on the air. He is Carlton E. Morse, who originated the program, and now writes it, directs it, produces it, and personally controls the entire production and cast. Author Morse's word is law where One Man's Family is concerned, but he's an easy master and maintains only a few sets of rules. One is that no member of the family knows what is going to happen in the current week's script until the day of the broadcast. Another is that there can be no studio audience, and no visitors ai all allowed during a broadcast. Morse personally auditions all new players, and has been known to listen to a hundred aspirants before finding the right one. The cast of One Man's Family falls naturally into the family pattern — in fact, they all get together every now and then to have family parties. Minetta Ellen and J. Anthony Smythe, who play Father and Mother Barbour, actually made their stage debuts together in Oakland when they were very young, and met again for the first time in years to play the parents in this story. Other members of the cast love to call them "Mother" and "Father." Claudia and Hazel (Kathleen Wilson and Bernice Berwin) are married to nonprofessionals and are the mothers of young sons. Teddy Barbour and Wayne Grub (Winifred Wolfe and Jack Edwards) really attended the same school, Hollywood High school, and will go to the University of California together next fall. Paul (Michael Raffetto) is exactly as his air fans imagine him, tall and dark, and Clifford (Barton Yarborough) is tall, young, and devoted to his "mother," Minetta Ellen. Beth Holly (Barbara Jo Allen) does a good deal of radio work outside the Family — one of her roles is that of Phil Harris' girl on the Benny show. And Jack (Page Gilman) is precisely the same character he plays on the air. He's just finishing college, and as a side-line he maintains a photography business. 46 SAY HELLO TO . . . ARLENE FRANCIS — as happy a radio entertainer as you can tune in. Happy because she's one of radio's very few women stars and she's married and lives in a beautiful country house. You hear her as Judy LaRue in Big Sister on CBS and as the feminine questioner on that new NBC show. What's My Name, pinch hitting for Fred Allen. She was born in Boston, went to a finishing school, then to the American Academy of Dramatic Art, then to Europe. At home again, she briefly ran a gift shop before going into stage work and then radio. Her real name is Kazanjian. A decided brunette, she is 5Vi feet tall.
