For four years, Norman has been tagging along in the wake of Ezra Stone, the irrepressible Henry of radio's Aldrich Family and George Abbott's Broadway production, "What a Life." Now, Ezra Stone has left the show to be a sergeant in the Army and Norman is playing Henry on NBC. It all started four years ago, when freckle faced, redheaded Norman Tokar begged off for an afternoon from his after school job in Newark, New Jersey — where he still lives, by the way — to come into New York City to try to get a part in "What a Life." For hours, he stood in line with lots of other kids with the same idea, only to have George Abbott emerge from the stage door, finally, and announce that he wasn't giving any more auditions. "Come back tomorrow," the producer said. Norman was frantic. "But I can't come back tomorrow!" he cried and shuddered to hear his voice break and go high. Abbott grinned at him and said, "All right, one more." That audition led to Norman's getting a contract to be Ezra Stone's understudy in the stage play. Unlike the stars in most backstage movies, Ezra stayed disgustingly healthy and Norman's only, brief chance to play Henry came when Eddie Bracken, who was playing the role in the road company of the show, caught a cold in Philadelphia. Norman did a swell job and. oddly enough, it was precisely because he was so good as Henry that NBC producers weren't too enthusiastic about him, when they were picking a cast for the Aldrich Family show. They thought his voice sounded too much like Ezra's to appear in the same script. But, being fast on the trigger like most red heads, Norman took a hitch in his belt and invented his character of Willie. The befuddled youth who talks as though he had a mouth full of marbles was an immediate hit and Willie became a part of the program, to say nothing of Norman's being around whenever a substitute Henry was needed. Norman's private life is almost as hectic, although not as irrational, as Henry Aidrich's. He is addicted to sand lot baseball and, somehow, manages to work in a little of it in an already heavy program. Norman not only acts. He writes radio plays and sells them. He's had a good deal of stage experience, having appeared in "What a Life," "Delicate Story" and "Days of Our Youth." At present, he is one of the featured actors supporting screen actress Gloria Stuart in the recently opened revival of "Sailor Beware." And, just to keep time from hanging too heavily on his hands, he works frequently in supporting roles in many of radio's major dramatic productions. 10:00 10:15 10:30 1:30 8:30 8:45 9:00 12:45 8 8 8 8 8 8 45 45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 r s u 8:00 8:00 8:00 2:30 8:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:45 9:45 00 10:00 00 10:00 00 10:00 15 10:15 15 10:15 30 10:30 30 10:30 30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 11:00 1:00 11:15 - 11:30 9:30 11:30 9:45 11:45 10:00 12:00 12:00 12:15 FRIDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 Blue Texas Jim 10:45 11:00 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:45 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 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:30 3:45 4:00 8:00 8:15 4:15 4:30 4:45 4:45 9:00 8:00 9:15 8:15 5:30 5:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 3:45 3:45 4:00 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:15 4:30 5:30 4:30 4:30 4:45 5:45 4:45 5:00 5:00 5:15 5:30 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:15 6:30 6:30 6:45 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:30 7:30 I 7:30 5:S5 7:55 8:30 8:30 6:00 6:00 6:30 6:30 6:30 6:30 9:00 CBS: 9:00 Blue: 9:00 NBC: 9:10 CBS: 9:15 NBC: 9:45 CBS: 10:00 CBS: 10:00 Blue: 10:00 NBC: 10:15 CBS: 10:15 Blue: 10:15 NBC: 10:30CBS: 10:30 Blue: 10:30 NBC: 10:45CBS: 10:45 Blue: 10:45 NBC: 11:00CBS: 11:00 Blue: 11:00 NBC: 11:15ICBS: ll:15jNBC: 11:30 CBS 11:30 Blue 11:30 NBC 11:45 CBS. 11:45 Blue: 11:45 NBC 12:00 CBS: 12:00 NBC 12:15 CBS 12:30 CBS 12:30 B 12:45 CBS 1:00 CBS 1:00 Blu 1:15 CBS 1:30 CBS 1:45 CBS 1:45 NBC 2:00 CBS 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 2:30 3:45 3:45 4:00 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:30 4:30 4:45 4:45 5:00 5:00 5:00 5:15 5:15 5:15 5:30 5:30 5:30 5:30 5:45 5:45 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:45 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:15 7:30 7:30 7:45 7:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:30 8:30 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: NBC: NBC: CBS: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: MBS: NBCCBS: Blue: NBC: Blue CBS CBS CBS CBS Blue Blue NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: CBS: NBC: 8:00 CBS: 8:00 Blue: 8:00 MBS: 8:00 NBC: 8:ls|Blue: 8:30CBS: 8:30 Blue: 8:30 NBC: 8:55 CBS: 9:00 CBS: 9:00 Blue: 9:00 MBS: 9:00 NBC: 9:30 CBS: 9:30 Blue: 9:30 MBS: 9:30 NBC: 10:00 CBS: 10:00 Blue: 10 00 NBC: APRIL, 1943 News Breakfast Club Everything Goes School of the Air Isabel Manning Hewson The Chapel Singers Valiant Lady Isabel Manning Hewson Robert St. John Kitty Foyle News The O'Neills Honeymoon Hill The Baby Institute Help Mate Bachelor's Children Gene and Glenn .
