Elsa Maxwell doesn't give parties any more — or, at least, not many of them. But she'll probably be known, all the rest of her life, as the roly-poly little woman who became the darling of international society because she was such a clever hostess. When she was a little girl in San Francisco Elsa asked her mother wistfully why the Maxwells were never invited to the great balls and dances she read about in the papers. Mrs. Maxwell said it was because they didn't have enough money — and then and there Elsa decided that some day she would give parties at which people without money would be welcome. In a way, she succeeded — for although rich people have always attended her parties, poor people have been invited to come too, as long as they were witty or amusing. When you listen to Elsa on her own program, over the Blue network at 9:45 p.m. EWT, every Friday night, you're hearing a woman who fought her way to fame without any of the standard qualities except nerve and a sense of humor. She certainly never was beautiful, and most of her life she's been short of money. But always, she's had a good time, and more important, she's been able to help other people have good times, too. Her first attempt at making her own way in the world was to bluff a Shakespearean repertory company into letting her play the part of the Nurse in "Romeo and Juliet." She promised to finance the company. When it was discovered that she possessed about ten dollars in total assets, she lost the job. Then came a few years in which she tried to make a living writing songs. Someone promised her a job on the London stage, and she managed to get together enough money for the passage. But when she landed in the English capital the job didn't materialize, and she went back to writing songs, that being the only method of earning a living she could think of at the time. Mrs. Benjamin Guiness, a member of the horsey set, felt sorry for the goodnatured American girl, and let her live in rooms over the Guiness stable. It was Mrs. Guiness, too, who arranged for Elsa to play some of her songs for the Queen. Elsa rounded up some youngsters who, she thought, had talent — a skinny little boy named Noel Coward, a black-haired girl named Beatrice Lillie, and a friend of. Noel's, Gertrude Lawrence — and took them with her to be part of the Royal concert. Except for Elsa's being so nervous that when she tried to curtsy in front of the Queen she fell flat on her face, everything went off very well, and her career as purveyor-of-entertainment-tothe-famous was begun. Elsa says she never would have made a success of her life if she hadn't enjoyed people and liked to laugh. She always has a better time at one of her parties than anyone else — and maybe that's a hint for you to follow next time you entertain. 8:00 10:15 8:00 8:15 8:15 8:15 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 11 9:00 11: 9:15 11:15 9:30 11 9:30 11: 9:45 11:45 10:00 12: 10:00 12: 00 —00 10:00 12:00 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 1:30 1:30 2:00 2:00 2:30 2:30 3:10 3:15 3:30 7:30 3:45 3:45 8:00 4:00 8:00 8:15 4:15 7:30 4:30 7:30 9:00 8:30 9:15 5:55 8:30 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:30 6:30 6:30 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:45 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 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 FRIDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 lihi.
