Stepping into its fourth year on KROW, (Oakland, Calif.) is Skullcrackers. Sanguine skull is "Homer", who each week grins toothily at contestants, but actually, wrong answers receive a sharp stroke on an Oriental temple block, seen in the extreme left of the picture, which makes a bopping sound like a knock on the noggin. For complete review of Skullcrackers, see Showmanship in Action, p. 67. Once each year, sponsor GUNTHER BREWING CO. hires a mammoth auditorium to clear up back requests for tickets for Quiz of Two Cities broadcasts, heard weekly on Baltimore's (Md.) WFBR and Washington's (D. C.) WMAL. Henry Hickman quizzes the Baltimore contestants. KVEC (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) staff featherbrains act natural on daily, halfhour-long Boarding House, sponsored jointly by seven sponsors. For complete review of Boarding House, see Proof O' The Pudding, p. 73. FEBRUARY, 1941 69
