Radio Mirror (Nov 1936-Apr 1937)

you'll understand why he'd sorta enjoy being in the Broadway exhibit. As reported last month, he changes sponsors in October, but his program's time and network will definitely remain the same, Thursday at eight on the NBC-Red, right opposite Kate Smith's similar show on CBS. For some reason we can't quite fathom, that hour is considered the second most valuable in radio. The first? — Sunday at eight. One of our private operatises, dropping in on a Vallee rehearsal the other day, caught the boys rehearsing fervently on a number you may have heard — "My Time Is Your Time," it's called. It has been Rudy's theme song for years, but evidently he thought there was still room for improvement. AL. ALEXANDER, the originator • and "attorney for the plaintiff" of Goodwill Court, which Chase and Sanborn chose to succeed Major Bowes, has received letters from many public officials commending the program and expressing deep interest in it. One, from Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York, asked Alexander how he happened to conceive the idea of the program and get it under way — which is interesting because Radio Mirror has scheduled the answer to that very question in a story for a forthcoming issue. THE popularity of its two Community Sing programs has put Columbia in an embarrassing position. As you probably know, the studio audience does the singing on these shows. Many people outside of New York have written requesting that their favorite hymns be sung, and the program directors would like to RADIO M IRROR oblige — but New York audiences don't seem to know any hymns, or understand how to sing them ! SHORT SHORTS JOAN MARSH appeared at a couple of Flying Red Horse Tavern broadcasts this summer swathed in bandages about the arms and face. She'd been at Sands Point, vacationing, and had come in contact, not wisely but too thoroughly, with some poison ivy . . . Alice Frost has taken over the part of the mother, Lucy Kent, in NBC's popular morning serial, Home Sweet Home . . . Tex Ritter, known to Bobby Benson fans as Diogenes Dodwaddle, and also heard frequently in cowboy characterizations on such dramatic shows as The Magic Voice, True Story Court, and Death Valley Days, has gone to Hollywood on a six-months' contract with the Grand National picture company. Grand National is the new company which recently signed James Cagney . . . For the record: A Reno divorce was granted early in August to Mrs. Ted Husing. Ted and his former wife, who is known in films as Celia P.yland, were married in Harrison, New York, last April . . . A new gadget to complicate radio listening has been patented at Washington. It's known facetiously as a "radio shutteroffer" and consists of a panel of five buttons to be attached to an easy chair. Push the required button and it will shut off your radio for one, three, five, fifteen or thirty minutes, then automatically turn it on again. Not precisely a boon to the industry, and it's our guess it will never be offered for sale ... It's rumored that Clark Gable will add another to the list of new radio programs and enterprises he has helped make their debut by being on hand for the marriage ceremonies of the Mutual and Don Lee networks, out on the Coast. The event is due to happen around Christmas time. WHEN Helen Hayes began her New Penny series last year she was worried over whether or not she'd be a success in a new medium — but her mind ought to be at ease when she starts her new series September 28. During her extremely successful stage run of "Victoria Regina" last winter, most of the autograph seekers who besieged the stage door didn't want her to write "Victoria" after her name. They wanted "Penelope Edwards," the character she played on the air . . . Mark Warnow is once more providing the incidental music for Miss Hayes' radio work. JEAN DAHL, young radio actress, and Neill O'Malley, who plays Tex in the Bobby Benson series, are honeymooning . . . Little Jackie Heller will make his stage debut in New York this winter, playing the part of a jockey in a Damon Runyon comedy . . . Doris Wester, the pretty little singer who got her start on Major Bowes' amateur show, is in Hollywood on a Warner Brothers contract. She'll probably resume her NBC series from there as soon as her picture career is well under way . . . Bryan Field, who handles the Mutual network's racing broadcasts, never bets . . . Wedding bells for Paul Gregory, WMCA announcer, and Louella Rudd, half of the Rogers and Rudd team on NBC . . . Also for AI Kavelin, dance band maestro heard on the Mutual network, and Virginia Gilchrist of Pittsburgh. 7^e EYES +&coL &j& Xcvu^ll SCREEN TEST ^ JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE. NO GLAMOUR CUT!
