Highlights For Friday. Nov. 25 np HAT popular Hal Kemp starts a series of six nightly broadcasts over the Mutual System tonight, playing in the Aragon and Trianon ballrooms in Chicago. Tonight's comes from the Aragon, tomorrow night's from the Trianon, and so on, alternating. . . . Your Almanac can't predict whether Judy Starr or Maxine Gray will be his girl soloist. Judy is in the hospital, recovering from an operation, as this is written, but maybe she'll be well enough to go back to work by the time Hal and the band open at the Aragon. . . . Maxine too is ill, and will give up her singing job as soon as Judy is ready to re lieve her. . . . Attention, fight fans! The weekly prizefight in Madison Square Garden will be on your NBC station tonight. . . . Happy birthday to Kate McComb of The O'Neills cast. . . . Kate was born in Sacramento, California, fifty-seven years ago today. . . . Your Almanac recommends a couple of young singers for you to listen to and enjoy today. . . . Alice Cornett, who used to be on the late Song Shop program, has her own sustaining program at 1:45 on NBC-Blue , . . and Felix Knight is on the same network at 10:30 tonight, also starring in his own sustaining program. Hal Kemp and his band move into the Aragon Ballroom for six nightly programs. Highlights For Friday, Dec. 2 Once a Reinhardt discovery, Helen Lewis is now one of radio's dramatic starlets. ■TPONIGHT is your last chance to listen to the March of Time, on NBC-Blue at 9:30, unless a new sponsor comes along and saves it — as has happened quite frequently in the past. . . . But if the program does go off the air after tonight, there's one of its regular actresses who won't be out of a job. . . . She's Helen Lewis, radio newcomer who is also kept busy playing Sally the trapeze artist in The Mighty Show, at 5:45 on CBS, and in Aunt Jenny's Stories, at 11:45 A.M. on the same network. . . . Helen studied at the University of Nevada with the notion that she was going to be one of the few women in the engineering profession, but Max Reinhardt, visiting Reno, happened to see her playing the leading role in one of the college dramatic shows. He offered her a job in the touring company of "Midsummer Night's Dream," and Helen forgot about engineering then and there. . . . After the "Dream" tour ended she returned to Reno and worked for a while with the Reno Little Theater, before coming to New York and breaking into radio. . . . She often appears in the Mercury Theater broadcasts. . . . Let your Almanac once more put in a good word for Milt Herth's trio at 8:00 A. M. on NBC-Red. Highlights For Friday, Dec. 9 TUT AVE you been listening to Sophie Tucker, singing on her own program every Monday, Wednesday and Friday over CBS at 6:45? If you haven't, you should, because the grand old lady of red-hot singing knew all about swing when the people who make so much noise over it today were in their swaddling clothes. . . . Sophie was born at sea when her parents fled from a pogrom in Odessa. They came to America and started a restaurant in Hartford, Connecticut. . . . Sophie was waiting on table there when Willie and Eugene Howard came to town, and, just for a joke, told her she ought to go on the stage. She took them seriously — and they turned out to be right! . . . Her first real job was coonshouting at Tony Pastor's — playing in blackface because some manager told her she ought to cover up her homely mug. . . . An accident released her from the burnt-cork — on a vaudeville tour she lost her luggage and had to go on the stage without makeup. The audience seemed to like her just as well, so she never put it on again. . . . Today she's as well loved in England as she is in America — she never appears in London to anything but sold-out houses. . . . She never gets out of her bed before noon. Sophie Tucker, last of the Red Hot Mammas, sings on CBS tonight at 6:45. Highlights For Friday, Dec. 16, 23 Duane Thompson is the "telephone girl" whose voice launches H oily wood H otel. F)ECEMBER 16: There's a fight on the air tonight for the sports fans — the heavyweight battle between Tommy Farr and Lou Nova, being broadcast from Madison Square Garden on NBC's Blue network. . . . But that shouldn't deafen you to such sterling Friday-night standbys as the First Nighter on CBS at 8:00 or Warden Lawes' dramatization of a crime story on the NBC-Blue network at the same time ... or Burns and Allen on CBS at 8:30, with some of their inspired nonsense ... or Hollywood Hotel on CBS at 9:00. . . . Speaking of Hollywood Hotel, as your Almanac went to press there were rumors that a cast-shuffling process was imminent on this show. . . . Here's hoping it hasn't happened. December 23: Still on the subject of Hollywood Hotel, you'll be interested in Duane Thompson, the "telephone operator" whose voice has launched every Hotel program since the show began four years ago. . . . Duane was born in Red Oak, Iowa, but was raised in San Francisco. Although she studied to be a dancer, she broke into pictures in an entirely different role, that of a comedienne. Now she devotes most of her time to radio. (For Saturday's highlights, please turn page|
