Five minutes a day isn't very much of any good entertainer, and it seems even less when you're listening to Gracie Fields, but that's all we're getting, at least for the time being. You can tune her in on the Blue network any night, Monday through Friday, at 9:55, EWT, and console yourself with the old adage that half a loaf is better than none. There's nobody in the world quite like Gracie Fields. The daughter of a humble English millworker, she has worked her way up in the world until she's reputed to be paid more every year than any other woman entertainer. Not that she's been getting much money for herself since the war began. Except for one nine-week engagement and her present sponsored show, every cent she's made since September, 1939, has gone to British War Relief or other charities. Her real name is Gracie Stansfields, and she was born in the little town of Rochdale, which is ten miles from Manchester but might just as well have been a hundred, Gracie remembers, the distance was traveled so seldom when she was a girl. She worked in the cotton mills herself until her amazing voice, good spirits, and ability as a mimic sent her on to fame and fortune. She still talks in a thick Lancashire brogue, but can switch to any other dialect you want to name, at a moment's notice. Gracie was never what you'd call pretty, but she has a face you like the minute you see it. The picture above has been retouched a good deal — in fact, Gracie says, when she sent it to her brother in England he wrote back, "What have they done to you there in America — taken away all your wrinkles?" She is forty-four years old, "can't see a thing without me glasses," and has a figure as slim and supple as a high-school girl's. Her voice is something special. She can shake the rafters loose with "Walter" or "The Biggest Aspidistra in the World," or come down to a muted, angelic tone with "Ave Maria." In England, it's a tradition that no matter how rowdy and funny a Gracie Fields concert is, she always closes with a religious song. Gracie began her broadcast series in New York, but has returned now to Hollywood, where she has a home and lives with her husband, Monte Banks, and some of her relatives. She's gradually losing the relatives, though — they are returning to their homes and families in England She herself hasn't visited England since a year ago. She went over then for six weeks to tour British factories and service camps. Most of Grade's songs were either written especially for her or she's made them her own by right of conquest. Once a typical Fields song has been sung by her, you can hardly blame any other singer for hesitating to invite comparisons. oo oo oo 30 9:15 CBS 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:45 11:00 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:15 2:30 5:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 5:45 2:45 5:00 3:10 3:15 3:30 3:45 8:00 4:00 8:15 4:15 4:30 4:45 4:45 5:00 8:00 9:15 8:15 8:30 8:30 5:30 5:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:30 6:30 6:55 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 10:00 10:00 10:00 WEDNESDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 Blue: Texas Tim 9:00 CBS.
