Highlights For Sunday, Aug. 29 "DADIO'S perennial favorite, Smilin' ■'-^ Ed McConnell, blooms again late this afternoon — 5:30 E. D. S. T. — on NBC's Red Network. . . . 'Will be on the air all season, giving his all for the Acme White Lead and Color people. Palmer Clark's orchestra, Larry Larson, and a choral group are Smilin' Ed's capable assistants . . . Smilin' Ed proudly claims to be radio's fattest man, likes the title because many years ago somebody said, "Everybody loves a fat man." . . . Born in Atlanta, Ga., on January 12, 1892, Ed was a minister's son, and an all-round athlete in school ... Is an automobile fan, and has owned sixty-two of them at various times . . . Last spring purchased a supercharged car that can go 135 miles an hour if he really wants it to. It was a compromise between Ed and the Mrs. — ^he really wanted to buy a seaplane . . . Keeps his baby's first shoe before him when on the air. It's gold-plated ... Is superstitious as anything, and thinks number nine lucky. Likes hotel rooms that add up to that number . . . Served in war with army air service, and during war was once pronounced dead by drowning when his troop train plunged from a bridge. . . . Tonight, via CBS at 8:00, hear the last broadcast of the Milton Berle show. . . . Via CBS at 5:00, comes a polite salute to Venezuela — it's one of Our American Neighbors. . . . Irene Rich is on now at a new time — 9:45 tonight, NBC-Blue. Welcome Smilin' Ed McConnell back fo the air this afternoon at 5:30 on NBC. Highlights For Sunday, Sept. 5 Once the Lilac Time girl, Jeannine Macy now is featured on Universal Rhythm. npODAY'S CBS salute to Our Ameri-*• can Neighbors goes to Uruguay and Paraguay, so, lovers of Latin music, remember you have a date at five o'clock — Eastern daylight time, of course. . . . Did you know an old favorite is on tap again? Name: Jeannine Macy. Former occupation: being the "Lilac Time" girl on the program of that name. Present occupation: singing on Universal Rhythm, tonight at 9:00 on CBS. . . . Jeannine's absence from the air came as a natural result of her marriage to Tom Richley, staff musician at WLW in Cincinnati when Jeannine worked there. . . . It's a boy. . . . Jeannine's another Rudy Vallee discovery. He heard her on a children's program on WHAM, Rochester. Helped her get a job at Castle Farm in Cincinnati, which led to her work at WLW and Lilac Time. . . . That Universal Rhythm show leaves its Sunday-night spot after tonight, now that the dignified Ford Symphony has had its summer rest and is raring to go after Bach and Beethoven again. . . . Rhythm pops up Saturday after next at 9:30 on the CBS network. . . . Other shows for you to look forward to this afternoon and tonight: Harry von Zell's Summer Stars, CBS at 7:30; Frank Munn and Jean Dickenson on NBC-Red at 9:30; A Tale of Today, with Raymond Johnson and Lauretta Fillbrandt, on NBC-Red at 6:30; the Sunday Night Party, with more stars than you can shake a fivetube set at, on NBC-Red at ten. Highlights For Sunday, Sept. 12 SUMMER'S almost over — ^here comes the Ford Symphony back on the air, the vanguard of the winter season. Don't bother to put on your white tie and tails, but come along to the nearest CBS station at 9:00 E.D.S.T., and wrap an ear around a couple of classics. . . . Director tonight and for the next few weeks is Jose Iturbi, the fiery little Spanish piano-playing maestro. Guest soloist is John Charles Thomas, who used to have a program of his own but confines himself nowadays to visiting shows that need a good baritone for the evening. John Charles is husky, looks more like a strong man than a singer, but leaves you in no doubt about what he is once he cuts loose on an aria. ... Is as fond of boating as he is of singing. ... Is a minister's son, born in Meyersdale, Pa. Used to sing for his father at camp meetings, working up from boy-soprano to adolescent-bass. . . . Almost decided to be -a doctor, but music won out. . . . Got into comic opera, where he stayed for several years. . . . In 1924, made his debut in "Aida" in Washington, two days later got married, and shortly after that broke 90 at a Florida golf club. , . . Counted 1924 a banner year. . . . Sang for the first time at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1934, and hasn't missed a season since. . . . Owns an 85-foot yacht, "The Masquerader," where he spends all of his spare time. . . . Owns no land home at all — always rents them. John Charles Thomas is guest soloist on the Ford Symphony's return this evening. Highlights For Sunday. Sept. 19 Honeychile, on the Rippling Rhythm Revue, is played by blonde Clare Hazel. ■JV/TAKE way tonight for hizzoner the ^^■^ Mayor of Texaco Town . . . Eddie Cantor, refreshed by a summer of rest (all he did was make a new movie and sit in on every rehearsal of the Texaco summer show, and that's a rest for Eddie), is back on his program tonight, 8:30 on CBS. . . . And once more Sunday night begins to seem like Sunday night, with Eddie spending that (half) hour with you again. . . . Also check for tonight the premiere broadcast of the new Mutual program sponsored by the Commentator Magazine. It's a dramatic-variety program on MBS* coast-to-coast network, from 10:00 to 10:30 P.M. . . . Nor do you want to miss Rippling Rhythm Revue, NBCBlue at 9:00, and that old-know-it all, Winchell, same network at 9:30. That Honeychile you hear trading gags with Bob Hope on Rippling Rhythm Revue is Bob's third Honeychile girl stooge. . . . Her name is Clare Hazel, and she's as Southern as her accent. . . . Meant to be a newspaper woman, and wrote stories when a child for her dad's newspaper in Bennettsville, S. C. . . Was editor of her high school paper. Then went to Queens College in Char lotte, N. C, and made the mistake ol getting a part in a freshman play. , After that, phooey on journalism! . Came to New York after graduation, got a break when Bob, needing a new Honeychile, heard her Southern drawl and hired her. . . . Now she's also busy on the Broadway stage. 44
