fight in Detroit between Joe Louis and Bob Pastor. Bill Stern announces, and the
right wave-length is that of your nearest NBC station.
ON THE AIR TODAY: When a Girl Marries, by Elaine Sterne Carrington, on CBS at 12:15 today and every day except Saturday and Sunday, sponsored by the Prudential Insurance Company.
The average person can't understand how a writer can turn out a daily serial script, day after day, year in and year out, with never a break. Elaine Sterne Carrington has reduced the whole job to a science. She works from Monday morning through Thursday noon, starting at seven in the morning, not doing just one script a day, but trying to do as many in one working day as she can. She keeps about three weeks ahead of the broadcasting studio at all times — that is, the episode of When a Girl Marries that you hear today was written by her three weeks ago. Besides When a Girl Marries, of course, she also writes Pepper Young's Family.
An exceedingly vigorous person, Mrs. Carrington hates to lie in bed late in the mornings, but when occasionally she gets behind in her work she forces herself to stay there, dictating to her secretary, until she has caught up. It's a form of selfdiscipline.
All of her scripts are dictated by Mrs. Carrington to a secretary, typed out and then gone over once more by the author; then mailed from her Long Island home to the advertising agency in New York which produces the program. All summer long Mrs. Carrington stays at her country home on Long Island, refusing flatly to come to
town. In the winter she and her husband and two children, Patricia and Bobby, move to their house in Brooklyn. Mr. Carrington is a prominent New York attorney, and the two children, 14 and 10, are editors of their own magazine, "The Jolly Roger," which has a subscription list of 300, mostly to celebrities. Other important members of the Carrington country home are the police dog Flash, the cat Red Davis, and a young goat named Alcibiades, who loves to eat cigarette butts.
In New York, when Mrs. Carrington's scripts arrive, they are interpreted by a cast that includes Noel Mills as Joan Field; Joan Tetzel as her sister, Sylvia; Irene Winston as Eve Topping, Joan's best friend; John Raby as her sweetheart, Harry Davis; Ed Jerome and Frances Woodbury as her father and mother; Marion Barney as Mrs. Davis; Bill 0umn °s Tom Davis, and Michael Fitzmaurice as Phil Stanley — who is the closest thing to a villain When a Girl Marries has. There isn't much melodrama in Mrs. Carrington's plots, because she believes in real-life characters who might be the people next door.
Noel Mills, Joan Tetzel and Irene Winston are three of radio's prettiest young actresses, and having them all in one program creates a field-day for CBS studio attaches. At any rehearsal you'd be surprised at the number of technicians, engineers, page boys and even vice presidents who find errands to take them into Studio 3.

SAY HELLO TO . . .
JOAN BANKS — the beautiful blonde star of This Day Is Ours, the CBS serial heard at 1:45 this afternoon and every afternoon except Saturday and Sunday. To her role of Eleanor MacDonald, Joan brings both radio and stage experience. On the air she has played with Helen Menken and Kate Smith, and in Her Honor, Nancy James. Joan is a native New Yorker, and has lived in Westchester County since she was two. She drives her own car to and from the studios in New York every day. Beneath those blonde tresses there's a substantial store of brains — she's a student of philosophy in spare time.
