Guest t:3t 8:30 9:30 NBC-Blue: NBC Minstrel Show Motto of the Day Wednesday's HIGHLIGHTS By Ben Bernie Family ties should be cherished — not worn around the neck. Highlights For Wednesday, June 29 AFTER tonight you can picture ■ Fred Allen taking it very, very easy up in a quiet Maine farmhouse — -and don't think you can go and call on him, either, even if you know the name of the town that's near the farmhouse. This is Fred's last broadcast until fall, and when it's over he doesn't even want to be reminded that there's such a thing as radio. . . . The reason you probably couldn't drop in to see him is that everybody around the town where he spends his summers conspires to keep him from being bothered. Before they'll point out his house they make you wait until they've asked Fred if he wants to see you. . . . This afternoon, NBC broadcasts the annual Massachusetts Handicap race from Suffolk Downs, Boston, when the longawaited meeting between Seabiscuit and War Admiral should finally take place. . . . And tonight the same network has a special dramatization of the story of the Battle of Gettysburg, between 9:00 and 9:30 — because it was seventy-five years ago that the Gettysburg Battle took place. . . . CBS has some history too, in its Living History program from 7:30 to 7:45, when in regular March of Time manner the story of Shay's Rebellion in Massachusetts is to be told. Harriet Parsons has her last batch of Hollywood gossip tonight at 8:30, NBC-Blue. Highlights For Wednesday, July 6 Hal Kemp brings his band to the Astor Hotel Roof, and you can I isten on CBS. ^pHERE'S no sense in trying to get away from baseball if you listen to the radio this afternoon, which is a pretty silly situation for the networks to get themselves into. People who don't like baseball— and your Almanac hears there are a few — have to shut their sets off, and a silent receiving set doesn't do any broadcaster any good. But there it is. All three networks are scheduled to broadcast a description of the All-Star game from the home park of the Cincinnati Reds, barring rain, of course, in which case there won't be any baseball at all. . . . Town Hall's Big Game Hunt, which is the title of the program which replaces Fred Allen tonight at 9:00 on NBC-Red, is really two shows in one. The first half-hour is a game program to end all game programs, with Norman Frescott and Jane Martin as master and mistress of the revels. The second half hour consists of the show inaccurately called For Men Only, which was tried out on a small Eastern network, made a hit, and now goes coast to coast. . . . CBS has a new program starting at 9:00, too — or rather an old friend returning. It's Mark Warnow's Blue Velvet musical half-hour, which has set more musical styles than any other show on the air. Highlights For Wednesday, July 13 D£G LA CENTRA, the vocal■* ist on tonight's For Men Only program, NBC-Red at 9:30, is tiny and blonde, and although she made her reputation — and it's a good one, too — as a singer, there's nothing she wants so much as to be an actress. In fact, you do hear her on dramatic programs every now and then; and she's pointing all her energies and ambitions toward a role in a stage play. She doesn't like bridge or night clubs — prefers riding up and down Fifth Avenue on a bus or going to Coney Island on a summer night. But she isn't perfect — she also loves jewelry, the expensive kind, and lots of it. . • . Ted Husing is still talking, on the afternoon CBS air, about the Professional Golfers' Association meet. . . . CBS' Living History dramatization for the day — at 7:30 tonight — concerns itself with Aaron Burr's trial for treason, and it ought to be interesting. ... If you like unsolved mysteries, a good program is NBC-Blue's It May Have Happened, on the air tonight at 9:00. It's a dramatization of something that could have happened, and maybe did — but nobody knows for sure. . . . And music lovers must not forget the Boston Pop Symphony concert, tonight and every Wednesday at 9:30 on NBC-Blue. Peg La Centra sings on tonight's For Men Only, NBC-Red variety program at 9:30. Highlights For Wednesday, July 20 Paul Stewart probably is in tonight's Easy Aces sketch, playing the part of Johnny. V7"OUR Almanac's recommenda-*■ tions for the day if you just want to listen while you work: The Farm and Home Hour, NBCBlue at 12:30. . . . Mellow Moments, CBS at 2:30. . . . Continental Varieties, NBC-Blue at 3:00. . . . At the Music Counter, CBS at 4:00. . . . The Singing Lady, NBC-Blue at 5:30. . . . Just Entertainment, CBS at 7:00. . . . Roy Shield Revue, NBC-Blue at 8:00. . . . Kay Kyser's College, NBC-Red at 10:00. ... If you want to listen carefully, a good fifteen-minute spot is on NBCRed at 7:30, when Ruth Bryan Owen talks about current events. . . . The CBS Living History pro gram tonight at 7:30 is about Washington Irving and his Knickerbocker History of New York. But old Father Knickerbocker wouldn't know the place now! . . . When your Almanac went to press the Easy Aces hadn't said anything about leaving the air for the summer, and here's hoping they won't, because every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night at 7:00. as long as they're on the air, you can be sure of some amusing nonsense. . . . Paul Stewart, who plays the part of Jane's brother Johnny, is one of the better radio actors — acting has been his job nearly all his life, and he knows it well. 45
