A highly exciting program guaranteed to produce goose flesh on marble statues is WOR's "Witch's Tale." Weird, macabre stories which make your blood run cold are presented weekly, and they are well done, though we could dispense with the annoying Witch's cackle at the beginning of the program. Caution : Decidely not for Junior nor for Aunt Hattie if she faints easily. In fact, we'd feel more comfortable about the whole thing if it were on at a very late hour when all children are safely tucked in bed.
Ho hum! We wish the automobile companies didn't contain so many orators. Their music speaks for them so much better than they do.
NBC has a new children's program which is charming, but you'll have to hurry up if you want to hear it, as it is on for a limited time only. "The Old Puppet Maker" is written by someone who knows what little children like to hear. To tell the truth, we enjoyed it ourselves. We hope NBC will change its mind and let it continue indefinitely as it is much needed. After all, Mr. Wing, young children have only "The Singing Lady" to fall back on and fifteen minutes a day is hardly enough.

For the benefit of those in the East who crave dinner music we have this cheering note: You can tune into W2XR (1550 kilocycle channel) at six o'clock from Monday through Friday and leave the dials set for two solid hours of beautiful music with practically no interruption. The standard of the selections has given W2XR the title of "The Quality Station" which gives you a faint idea of what to expect. Tune in some evening and give yourself a treat.

Our idea of a sympathetic announcer is Kelvin Keech. On those Sloan's programs you have the feeling he would gladly come over to massage a lame arm if you really needed his services.

One of the most amusing "stooges" on the air is McGillicuddy who is briefly heard on Walter O'Keefe's program. We'll trade the unconvincing talk about Camel's effect upon enervated athletes for a few extra minutes of McGillicuddy and for good measure throw in Deane Janis.
Do you remember the Fannie Kilbourne "Dot and Will" stories which used to appear in the American Magazine? Someone with rare taste and good judgment has brought them intact to the NBC Blue Network and we are still shaking our head in astonishment. You can hear them daily at 1 :45 P.M. EST.

Well, it seems both Columbia and National were serious when they promised to clean up their advertising. We note it is definitely improving on both these networks. We wish we could say as much for the other companies but some of the programs rejected by the "big two" are now going over to less discriminating stations. Have you noticed that even Fleischman's Yeast has become refined and no longer places the accent either on intestinal tracts or blemished complexions? And that Feenamint has left Columbia? Janet McRory of NBC and Gilson Grey at CBS deserve the credit for the purified copy of their organizations. Nice work, J. and G. !
