OLD GOLD PROGRAM WITH FRED WARING, DAVID ROSS AND COMEDIAN (NBC). Waring's organization without comedy would rate 5. FLEISCHMANN HOUR WITH RUDY VALLEE (NBC). WHITE OWL PROGRAM WITH BURNS & ALLEN AND GUY LOMBARDO (CBS). Still one of the prime favorites. CITIES SERVICE WITH JESSICA DRAGONETTE AND FRANK PARKER (NBC). Always satisfying. See pages 26 and 27.
SEVEN STAR REVUE (LINIT) WITH ERNO RAPEE. NINO MARTINI, JANE FROMAN. JULIUS TANNEN, TED HUSING, CHORUS (CBS). Swell music.
CHEVROLET PROGRAM WITH
JACK BENNY (NBC).
Humor takes the sting out of the
commercials.
MAXWELL HOUSE SHOW BOAT (NBC).
One of he most colorful shows on the air.
KRAFT-PHENIX PROGRAM WITH PAUL WHITEMAN AND DEEMS TAYLOR (NBC). Radio needs Taylor's satirical commentary.
BAKERS BROADCAST WITH
JOE PENNER AND OZZIE
NELSON (NBC).
Penner is Radio's newest comic
sensation.
ELDER MICHAUX AND HIS CONGREGATION FROM WASHINGTON (CBS).
"The outstanding sustaining discovery of the season." NINO MARTINI (CBS). Makes fine music popularly appealing.
EDWIN C. HILL (CBS).
The human side does it.
DEEP RIVER WITH WILLARD
ROBISON (CBS).
Melodic appeal of the Southland.
SALAD BOWL REVUE WITH
FRED ALLEN AND FERDE
GROFE (NBC).
CHASE & SANBORN COFFEE HOUR WITH RUBINOFF. RUTH ETTING AND JIMMIE DURANTE (NBC). Durante is a swell movie actor. ARMOUR PROGRAM WITH PHIL BAKER (NBC). Getting better, thanks. COLUMBIA SYMPHONY WITH HOWARD BARLOW (CBS). FIRST NIGHTER WITH CHARLES HUGHES (NBC). One of the best dramatic bets on the air.
ONE MAN'S FAMILY (NBC). Gripping.
LUCKY STRIKE PROGRAM WITH JACK PEARL (NBC). A. & P. GYPSIES WITH HARRY HORLICK AND FRANK PARKER (NBC).
Vigorous, refreshing program. AMERICAN ALBUM OF FAMILIAR MUSIC WITH HAENSCHEN'S ORCHESTRA, FRANK MUNN AND VIRGINIA RAE (NBC).
I F you like your laughs on a Sunday
evening, Joe Penner is just the man for you. He's a comic with a zest for his job and a bagful of vocal tricks. "You naaaaasty man !" is a Pennerism. So is "Don't ne-e-e-ver do-o-o that !" 7:30 E.S.T. on NBC blue network on Sunday evening is the time.
Ethel Waters is a CBS network newcomer who is setting the air afire. Sunday evening at seven E.S.T. Once you've heard her, she'll keep your ear glued to the loudspeaker.
Strange, isn't it, that the Board of Review doesn't rank any program worth five stars this month? Among our four star winners, the most favored is Old Gold's Fred Waring Show. Rudy Vallee and his pageant is second. Then Burns and Allen plus Guy Lombardo waving the White Owl Banner and Jessica Dragonette.
Do you agree with these opinions? Lots of people don't. Take this list and give it your rating. We'd like to know.
