Highlights For Tuesday, Oct. 26 OTARTING its second month to^ night, Jack Oakie's show ought to be settling down to be a worthy contender for Tuesday-night listening honors. . . . And contend is what your Almanac means, because the Packard Mardi Gras, with Lanny Ross, Charlie Butterworth, Florence George, Jane Rhodes and guest stars is on NBC-Red at 9:30, the same time Oakie's on CBS. . . . We can't be bothered with the whims of sponsors who insist on putting two good shows on the air at the same time. ... If you choose to listen to the Camel show, you'll hear, besides Jack, one of Hollywood's veterans. . . . Raymond Hatton, . . . He was actually one of the old Keystone Kops. . . . By 1919 he was a prominent character actor in the films. . . . His two-hundred foot fall down a cliff in an early version of "The Girl of the Golden West" (which is soon to be made again, with frills and sound, by Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald) was one of the movies' first big thrills. . . . He and Jack are old friends, in spite of any insults they may toss at each other on the program. . . . Later on in the month, your Almanac will tell you something about Stuart Erwin, also on the Camel show. . . . But now there's just room enough to remind you that General Hugh S. Johnson is on the air tonight at 10:00 on NBC-Blue with some opinions that may make you want to argue but "won't make you want to yawn. Movie veteran Raymond Hatton has a new career in Jack Oakie's radio show. Highlights For Tuesday, Nov. 2 Martin Gabel plays Dr. John Wayne in CBS' Big Sister serial at II :30 today. CO you're worried about etiquette? ... Then listen to Emily Post, the national authority on both good manners and bad, at 10:30 this morning and Thursday morning. . . . She's sponsored by the Florida Citrus fruit growers, and with those sponsors certainly ought to be able to tell us how to eat a grapefruit without getting the juice in our neighbor's eyes. . . . Mrs. Post is sixty-four years old, and lives in swanky Tuxedo Park, N. Y. . . . Started her career just after the turn of the century writing novels of European and American society. . . . They're all forgotten today. . . . Not until she wrote "Etiquette" did she become famous. . . . She's the mother of two sons. ... At 11:30, also on CBS, a s For Tuesday, Nov. 9 lot of you wil be listening to Big Sister, which stars Alice Frost and Martin Gabel, ... in the roles of Ruth Evans and Dr. John Wayne. . . . Dr. John's apparently hopelessly in love with Ruth . . . but you just know it's going to turn out all right eventually. . . . Away from the mike, Alice and Martin are best friends, but not sweethearts. . . . In fact, Alice is married — to someone else. . . . She is also responsible for Martin's radio career. . . . Happened to see him in a play produced by his dramatic school, and was so impressed by his ability that she talked her radio bosses into hiring him for the program she was on at the time. . . . Martin, who had planned to be a stage actor, has been busy on the air ever since. TpHE Gold Medal Hour, with Betty and Bob, Joe Emerson's Hymns, Arnold Grimm's Daughter, Betty Crocker, and Hollywood in Person, is required listening for thousands of people from 1:00 to 2:00 P. M. . . . And no wonder, because it offers something for almost every taste. . . . Arnold Grimm's Daughter, which was added to the show a few months ago, has Margarette (yes, that's the right way to spell it) Shanna in the title role — that of Constance Grimm. . . . She's been in radio only a year and a half . . . has also been heard in Girl Alone and Dan Harding's Wife. . . . Is the sister of Sydney Smith, well known New York stage and radio actor. ... A graduate of the University of Iowa. . . Speaks French fluently. . . . Always wears an Indian ring when she broadcasts, just for good luck. . . . Her graduation gift, two years ago, from brother Sydney was a free trip to visit him in New York and long hours of painstaking personal coaching in voice training and microphone technique. ... It was probably his training that brought her early success on the air. . . . She's unmarried, and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. . . . Don't forget your quota of movie gossip at 10:30 tonight from Jimmie Fidler . . . who, by the way, has signed a contract to appear in five movies at a very fancy figure. . . . These columnists all turn actor sooner or later, it seems. Margarette Shanna is the pretty leading lady on CBS' Arnold Grimm's Daughter. Highlights For Tuesday, Nov. 16 and 23 Stuart Erwin is one of the gang that is libelling education in Oakie's College. liyrOVEMBER 16: It's only on Tues*■" days you can hear these shows: Dear Columbia, on CBS at 9:00 A. M. . . . Airbreaks, on NBC-Blue at 3:00 P. M. . . . Helen Menken, on CBS at 7:30. . . Husbands and Wives on NBCBlue at 8:00. ... Al Jolson & Co. on CBS and Edgar Guest on NCB-Blue at 8:30. . . . Parks Johnson's Vox Pop on NBCRed at 9:00. . . . Jack Oakie on CBS, Good Times Society on NBC-Blue, and the Packard Mardi Gras on NBCRed at 9:30. . . . which ought to be enough to make you be satisfied to stay at home on Tuesday nights. . . . At 8:00, just before Al Jolson, Lever Bros, have a new show on CBS. . . . but when your Almanac went to press nobody knew what it would be. ... A Mickey Mouse show produced by Walt Disney was one candidate. . . . But the plans fell through. ... A mystery drama co-starring Myrna Loy and Bill Powell was another . . . but alas it — in all likelihood — fell through too. November 23: Stuart Erwin, who's heard tonight on Jack Oakie's program, is something like a younger and plumper Will Rogers. . . . He's married to June Collyer, once a movie actress and still one of the most beautiful of Hollywood's many beautiful women. . . . They have a five-year old son, Stuart Jr., who will never be a movie actor, Stu says, because he's afraid of cameras. . . . Stu's a Californian. . . . Was born fifty miles from Fresno, in that state. 46
