Hughes Lum and Abner A Date With Judy Tommy Dorsey Mary Small DEALER IN ODD FACTS . . . John Nesbitt, who shares honors with Meredith Willson as star of the Tuesdaynight show on NBC which replaces Fibber McGee and Molly for the summer, has been what he calls a "peddler of cultural knicknacks" for more than ten years. He won his first radio attention in 1930, when he began announcing in Spokane, Washington. After a few months of this, he organized a program called "Headlines of the Past," which he put on the air from San Francisco with himself as the announcer. It was the forerunner of his "Passing Parade," which offered curious morsels of information lightly garnished with anecdotes and jokes. The "Parade" eventually won John a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer making motionpicture shorts under the same title. It's a year and a half since John was last on the air. In his current series he puts to work again his special faculty of making history, literature, scientific discoveries, and art into the subjects of gossipy chats. John came naturally by his fund of interesting facts. His father, Dr. Norman Hill Nesbitt, was an itinerant Scottish scholar, teacher, and philosopher. Dr. Nesbitt carried with him on his travels four sons, five thousand books, and a large collection of phonograph records. John was born in British Columbia, spent much of his boyhood in France, and most of his youth in Alameda, California. He went to several prep schools, St. Mary's College, and finally the University of California at Berkeley. He's the grandson of Edwin Booth, the famous Shakespearean actor of earlier days, so he had a natural inclination toward the stage. But it was by accident that he made his stage debut when he was five. He had become separated from his father in the lobby of the St. James Theater in Boston, and someone mistook him for one of the children due for rehearsals of "The Blue Bird." He was whisked into an ante-room and put through his acting paces, and while his frantic father combed Boston Common for a lost son, young John had the time of his life. His acting career didn't progress, after this, until he was an undergraduate at St. Mary's. There he organized a little theater; and after he left college he played in Shakespearean and stock companies for a while. In Spokane he decided to give up Shakespeare in favor of commercial announcements on the radio. It was, on the whole, a wise decision. John's wide knowledge and perfect enunciation give listeners the idea that he's a gray-haired man, smoking a pipe and wearing a tweed coat which smells of rich old tobacco. Actually, he's blond, curly-haired, handsome, and thirty-two years old. 8:30 10:15 8:00 10:15 8:00 8:15 8:15 8:15 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:30 9:30 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:45 10:45 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 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 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 8:30 8:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 7:30 8:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 12 12 12 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 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 3:45 3:45 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:30 4:30 4:30 4:45 4:45 4:45 5:00 6:30 5:10 5:15 5:30 5:45 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:15 6:15 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 7:30 7:55 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 WEDNESDAY Eastern War Time 8:30 Blue: Texas Jim 9:00 Blue: Breakfast Club 9:15 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 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 12:30 12:30 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:45 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:30 4:30 4:45 4:45 5:00 5:00 5:15 5:15 5:30 5:30 5:30 5:45 5:45 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:45 6:45 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:15 7:15 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:55 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:00 9:30 10:30 CBS: The Radio Reader CBS: Harvey and Dell CBS: Vailant Lady NBC: Bess Johnson CBS: Stories America Loves Blue: Helen Hiett NBC Bachelor's Children Blue.
