The only really satisfactory way to get a story about Harry Babbitt, Kay Kyser's vocalist, is to talk to the other boys in the band — because Harry hates to talk about himself. Ask the others about him, and they agree that he has only one fault: he's too shy, much too shy. Friendly, yes, and easy to get along with. But shy. Kay Kyser, introducing Harry to the audience one night, called everyone's attention to the fact that Harry was wearing a gay new sports jacket. Harry blushed furiously— and for seven more introductions which Kay mischievously made the same, he went on blushing. He shouldn't be shy, either, because everyone on the RKO lot, where Kay and the boys made "My Favorite Spy," agrees he's the handsomest member of the whole Kyser group. Harry was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 2, 1913. His great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian, and the rest of his family on both sides have been in America for generations. He always loved music, and in high school he played the saxophone and drums in small orchestras. After school, he resisted the temptation to leave St. Louis in search of fame, and instead got a job in a dry goods store, singing and announcing parttime on a small local station. He stuck there for two years, until Kay Kyser happened to come to St. Louis, heard him, and offered him a job. He's been with Kay ever since and expects to stay until the chance comes along to lead a band of his own. He's ambitious enough to hope that day comes sometime. Besides his solo work, Harry is "Little Audrey," and also sings the song-titles. The announcement made after every third number on sustaining programs is done by Harry because Kay thinks no one else can do it quite so well. Harry smokes moderately and seldom, if ever, drinks. Tennis — he was on the high school team — and swimming are his favorite sports. But nothing tells so much about Harry as an incident that happened in Hollywood. Every Wednesday afternoon, before the broadcast, a note used to be delivered to him at the studio. The notes came from a little girl nine years old, and in each of them the child predicted, with uncanny accuracy, the two songs Harry would sing on the coming program. It worried Harry; he couldn't see any way for her to get this information. Finally he made inquiries and discovered that the little girl was very ill, with only a few months left to live. He was her favorite radio star and somehow she knew the songs he planned to sing. Harry went to see that little girl, and in the few hours he spent talking to her, all her youthful, idealistic dreams about a hero she'd never met came true. But Harry wasn't flattered by the incident. Instead, it awed him and made him feel very humble. 8:30 10:15 10:30 8:00 10:15 8:00 15 15 15 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 3:30 9:30 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 4:15 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 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 2:00 2:00 2:30 2:30 2:45 3:10 3:15 3:30 3:45 3:45 8:00 4:00 4:00 8:15 4:15 4:15 5:00 9:15 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:30 6:30 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 7:45 WEDNESDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 Blue: Texas Jim 9:00 Blue: Breakfast Club 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:45 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:30 11:30 12:00 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 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 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 4:00 4:00 4:30 4:30 4:45 6:30 5:15 5:30 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:15 6:15 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:55 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:30 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:00 11:15 11:15 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 1: 1: 2: 2: 2: 2; 2: 2; 2: 2: 2: 2: 3: 3; 3; 3: 3: 3: 3: 3: 3: 4: 4: 4: 4: 4: 4: 4:30 4:30 5:00 5:00 5:30 5:30 5:45 6:00 6:10 6:15 6:30 6:45 6:45 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:15 7:15 7:30 8:00 8.00 8:00 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:30 8:55 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:30 9:30 9:30 CBS: Harvey and Dell CBS: Valiant Lady NBC Bess Johnson CBS Stories America Loves Blue: Helen Hiett NBC: Bachelor's Children CBS: Stepmother Blue: A House in the Country NBC: Help Mate CBS: Woman ot Courage Blue Chaplain Jim— U.
