Hughes Hour of Charm They Live Forever Joe and Mabel News of the World Dance Orchestra Author's Playhouse NOT JUST A RADIO SHOW . . The Army Hour, on NBC every Sunday afternoon at 3:30, EWT, is more than a radio program. It's a military mission. Everyone concerned with getting the show on the air thinks of it as something very important and deeply vital to the welfare of the nation and of the war effort. It doesn't aim to inspire listeners — but it does. Its main purpose is to tell America what the Army is doing. Probably no other radio program ever was so difficult to broadcast. The Army Hour picks up voices from all over the world, and to weld them into a fastmoving, perfectly timed show is an engineering problem bigger than any ever tackled before. Just to make things more difficult, many of the preparations must be conducted in deepest secrecy. If General MacArthur, for instance, is scheduled to say a few words on the program, all the plans must be transmitted in code — since it certainly wouldn't do to let the Japs know he would be in a certain place at a certain time. The Army plans the program, but much of the "get-it-done" work is performed by a civilian named Wyllis Cooper. Maybe you never heard of Wyllis, but the Army Hour isn't the first show you've enjoyed because he was the man behind the scenes. Primarily, Wyllis is a writer. He wrote the fantastic Lights Out stories you used to hear at midnight, and many another top-notch program has come from his typewriter. Just now he is devoting himself full-time to preparing the scripts for the Army Hour and helping see them through long hours of preparation to the point of broadcasting. Wyllis, who describes himself as "a fat guy who looks like a poor man's Alexander Woollcott," spent nine months before taking over the assignment of writing The Army Hour in familiarizing himself completely with all phases of the Army's operations. He was a civilian correspondent and observer with all Army maneuvers, and lay in Carolina mud, rode tanks in Louisiana, and tried out every vehicle in the list from jeep to bomber. He still travels around the country a lot, gathering material for the program, but when he's at home he lives in a New York penthouse with his wife and three dogs. In the first World War, Wyllis was in the Army as a bugler, was wounded on the Somme, gassed in the Argonne, and served with the Army of Occupation in Germany. Because of the secrecy which, of necessity, surrounds many of the arrangements for The Army Hour, you're apt to hear a surprise personality on almost every broadcast.
