Highlights For Monday, Oct. 25 'VT OUR Almanac listened to the new variety show sponsored by Campana, Vanity Fair, on its first airing and didn't like it much. . . . But maybe by this time the loose ends have been gathered up and it's making a better showing. . . . Why not give it a try, anyway? ... At 8:30 on NBC-Blue. . . . Cal Tinney, its comedian and master of ceremonies, is making his network debut on this program, and as soon as he gets used to the microphone may turn into one of those comedians radio is always hunting for. . . . His full name is Calvin Lawrence Tinney. . . . He got it because a ranch neighbor of his mother's in Oklahoma, where he was born, offered to provide the infant's diapers if she could have the privilege of naming him. . . . Mrs. Tinney took her up on the offer and Cal got both diapers and name. . . . Your Almanac doesn't vouch for the truth of this story. . . . That's just what Cal says. . . . He made his first professional appearance at the age of ten, carrying a pitcher of water onto the stage for William Jennings Bryan when the Great Commoner was making a campaign speech. . . . Growing up, he went to the University of Oklahoma, but left because university authorities discovered he'd never graduated from high school. . . . Worked in a newspaper shop as printer's devil at eleven. . . . Has done newspaper work ever since, and now is famous as the Hog Editor of the Oologah, Oklahoma, Oozings. Cal Tinney, writer and humorist, is star of Campana's Vanity Fair, on NBC tonight. Highlights For Monday, Nov. 1 Eddie Cantor steps In to run Burns and Allen's program on NBC tonight at 8 o'clock. (~* EORGE BURNS and Gracie Allen ^"-" are having a good time for themselves in New York, and their substitute on the Grape Nuts program tonight . . . NBC-Red at 8:00 ... is Eddie Cantor. . . . George and Gracie have lent their daffy presences to Eddie's program in the past, and tonight he's repaying the favor. ... In spite of the fact that he's plenty busy getting his own program ready for day after tomorrow. . . . New to the CBS network is Mary Margaret McBride, on the air at noon today, Wednesday, and Friday. . . . You may know her better as Martha Deane, long an expert on matters that interest 999 out of every 1000 housewives. . . . Her sponsors will probably scalp your Almanac for saying so, but she has the ability to advertise a product without letting you, the listener, know she's doing so. . . . Martha Deane is an assumed name. . . . Mary Margaret McBride is her real one. . . . Under it she has written articles for national magazines, as well as several books. ... If you live where you can tune in WOR, WGN, or WLW, you'll want to listen to Famous Jury Trials, at 10:00 tonight. . . . Otherwise, you still have plenty of good radio fare at that time — Wayne King, Warden Lawes, and the Contented Program . . . NBC-Blue has a new five-a week daytime show called Time for Thought — Monday through Friday at the stroke of noon, Eastern time. Highlights For Monday, Nov. 8 t_J OME are the prodigals — George LJ Burns and Gracie Allen, back tonight at 8:00 from a swell vacation in New York. . . . Gracie undoubtedly collected a lot of silly ideas on her travels. . . . She saw all the shows but didn't understand any of them, and tried to adopt a traffic cop. . . . Otherwise the trip was uneventful. . . . After the Burns and Allen hilarity, you can listen to Pick and Pat, on CBS at 8:30. . . . And at 9:00, either to the Lux Theater, the Philadelphia Orchestra playing classical music, or Fibber McGee and Molly, depending on your taste in entertainment. . . . You know that Marion and Jim Jordan, who play Molly and Fibber, also take most of the other parts on the show. . . . But Silly Watson and — whenever he appears — Barrymel Lionmore are played by Hugh Studebaker, who's a Ridgeville, Indiana, boy. . . . Born there May 31, 1900. . . . Once worked as a news "butcher" on western railways. . . . Now he butchers the language instead. . . . Did his first radio work in 1928, and in 1930 was Ted Malone's organist on his Between the Bookends program. . . . Doesn't like driving a car. . . . but wants some day to retire and hunt buried treasure. . . . Just hunt it, not necessarily find it. . . . He's married. . . . Don Winslow of the Navy, NBC-Red at 6:45, started out to be a serial for kids. . . . Then the sponsors found that grown-ups were avid Winslow fans, too. After a four-week vacation in New York, Grade Allen and husband George are back. Highlights For Monday, Nov. 15 and 22 Once known as Jolly Gillette, Eileen Barton sings and clowns now on Vanity Fair. ■pROBLEM for the housewife who "*" wants to keep up on the news and still get her morning housework done; should she listen to NBC'S new program, Women and News, which comes on the Red network at the inconvenient time of 9:00 this morning and every morning except Saturday and Sunday? . . . Or forget the news and wash the breakfast dishes? . . . It's a problem she'll have to solve for herself. . . . Your Almanac won't even try. . . . Women and News is worth listening to, though, if you haven't anything more pressing on hand. . . . Later on, you'll want to hear today's instalment of Carol Kennedy's Romance, the Heinz Magazine fiction serial, at 11:15 on CBS. . . . Whether or not you'll also want to hear Tony Wons, at 10:30 on the same network, is entirely up to your own individual taste. . . . Your Almanac knows people who would. NOVEMBER 22: Eileen Jolly Barton, heard singing and bandying wisecracks with Cal Tinney tonight on the Vanity Fair show, NBC-Blue at 8:30 ... is the former Jolly Gillette, in case you didn't know. . . . While she was Jolly Gillette, The Sponsor's Daughter, on the recent Community Sing, her real identity was carefully, guarded. . . . Lots of people thought she really was Mr. Gillette's daughter . . . As you can see for yourself now, they were quite wrong. . . . Eileen Barton is her real name, and no kidding. 45
