Highlights For Tuesday, Aug. 31 OTARTING today, the Heinz Maga^-^ zine of the Ah gets complicated in its time-scheme . . . Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays it's to be broadcast from 11:15 to 11:30; Wednesdays and Fridays, 11:00 to 11:30 — ^both A.M., both E.D.S.T. . . . Up to now, you've heard it only three days a week, instead of five, . . . Tonight's your last chance to listen to Johnny Green*s music, Trudy Wood, Jimmy Blair, and Jane Rhodes on the Packard show — 9:30 to 10:30 on NBC-Red. They're being replaced, next Tuesday, by Lanny Ross & Co. . . . This afternoon's Singing Lady play: the story of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian painter, written by the Singing Lady herself. , . . at 5:30, NBC-Blue. . . . That is, un less there's a last-minute change in plans. . . . "Your Almanac repeats: it takes no responsibility for sudden changes of mind on the part of sponsors and performers. . . . Recommendation for that after-lunch slump: Words and Music, NBC-Red at 1:30. Ruth Lyon, star of this show, used to think how swell it would be if she had a lovely singing voice. . . . But her major study in her Normal, 111., school, was Romance languages. . . . Then somebody advised her to study voice as an aid to learning languages. . . . She graduated from college and went to work teaching French .... but met Wayne King and he gave her a job as soloist . . . Station WMAQ heard her and offered her a job. Soprano Ruth Lyon's featured on NBC's popular Words and Music show today. Highlights For Tuesday, Sept. 7 AI Jolson, with Martha Raye and Parkyakarkus, starts his new series tonight. "DIG doings afoot tonight in Holly■^"^ wood. . . . It's premiere night for two top-notch shows. . . . Both star old favorites. . . . One's on NBC, the other on CBS. . . . And they're on at different times, so you can listen to them both. . . . First comes Al Jolson, back at his old time, 8:30 on CBS, and with his old sidekicks, Parkyakarkus and Martha Raye. . . . Swapping insults with Parkie, songs with the girl he calls Moutha. . . . Al's given up appearing in pictures from now on, and radio will get the full force of the famed Jolson personality. ... At 9:30, on NBC-Red, the new fall and winter Packard show gets under way: Lanny Ross, Charlie Butterworth, delicious soprano Florence George, and Raymond Paige's music. . . . You know about Lanny and you know about Charlie, and you know about Raymond (he's been the dispenser of harmony on Hollywood Hotel ) , but Florence is making her commercial debut in this show. . . . She's the coloratura type of soprano. ... Is a newly-created Paramount contract player. . . , Has studied the piano since she was five. . . . Hates lobster, cottage cheese, bugs, worms, and snakes; loves horseback riding, driving a car, reading, playing the piano. . . . Was selected one of the three most beautiful co-eds at her alma mater, Wittenberg College in Ohio, and if she went back there would undoubtedly get the honor all over again. Highlights For Tuesday, Sept. 14 VT'OUR Almanac's scoop of the day: ■* Aunt Jenny, who tells her Real Life Stories on CBS at 11:45 this morning and every morning except Saturday and Sunday, is Edith Spencer, a radio and stage veteran. . . . Her identity is carefully guarded from the public, but perhaps it won't hurt you to know. . . . Had a career of twenty-five years on the stage before entering radio. . . . Between shows is besieged by fellow actors and actresses with requests to read their futures, as astrology and numerology occupy her spare time. . . . Lest you forget — Helen Menken is on the Columbia network now, tonight and every Tuesday at 7:30, New York time. . . . Did you know that Charlie (Always Wrong) Butterworth, who panics a couple of million people tonight on the Packard show (9:30, NBC-Red) graduated from Notre Dame University and never laid toe to pigskin all the time he was there? . . . Would never have gone on the stage if he hadn't become a reporter on the South Bend News-Times a few days after he was admitted to the Indiana Bar. ... At a Press Club dinner Charlie did a monologue that his fellow-members thought was funny, and they told him he ought to be on the stage, not in a news room. . . . Says he helped create the Hollywood Bowl : "When I first came out here the Bowl was an ordinary theater. But I played in it and brought down the roof, and they've never had one since." Edith Spencer, wearing her costume as Aunt Jenny who tells those life stories. Highlights For Tuesday, Sept. 21 Handsome young California-born Carl Hoff is Al Pearce's crosscountry music-maker. CARL HOFF'S the good-looking lad who supplies the music tonight at nine o'clock, CBS, for Al pearce and his gang. ... Is an appropriate maestro for the show because, like Al himself, he's a Californian. . . . Earned his own money in high school by running a small orchestra. . . . Was with Paul Ash in Chicago, writing arrangements. . . . Finally organized his own band again, and has been successful ever since. . . . Accompanied Al on his across-the-continent-and-back again tour. . . . Always writes his musical arrangements in a sound-proof room, but when in New York never locks the door of his swanky Central Park West apartment. . . . and often quietly goes to bed while his guests are still hav ing a good time. . . . When they get tired, they leave. . . . Stands six foot one in his stocking feet. . . . Bill Comstock, as you ought to know, plays Tizzie Lish on the Watch the Fun Go By show. , . . Wears his Tizzie costume during the broadcast, and many in the audience who don't already know he's a man never suspect it. . . . Began his entertainment career as a vaudeville drui'nmer. . . . From the pit watched the comedy acts on the stage, learned a lot, and finally created his own sketch. ... It wasn't very good, and neither was his next attempt. . . . The war interrupted further experiments. . . . Bill was in it and was gassed in action. . . . Tried out Tizzie five years ago on a local station.
