There's a new and brilliant dramatic star on the air these Wednesday nights — Henry Hull, making his radio debut in the True Story Theater, Mutual network at 8:30, EWT. If you want some superlative acting, this is the show for you to tune in regularly. It's a wonder radio hasn't been using Henry Hull's talents long before now. He's tried, and been very successful at, both other mediums of acting expression, the stage and the movies. On Broadway, the high spot of his career was the night he created the role of Jeeter Lester in "Tobacco Road." The critics all panned the play, but praised his acting. The public loved both play and acting, and "Tobacco Road" broke all records, although other men later succeeded Henry as Jeeter. Henry comes from a theatrical family, but he himself started out to be an engineer. His father was a Louisville, Kentucky, dramatic critic, and both his brothers, Howard and Shelley, were actors. Henry, the youngest of the three boys, thought at first that two actors in a family were enough. After a couple of years in the engineering profession, though, he noticed that both Howard and Shelley were making a good deal more money than he was — so he decided to be an actor too. He goes about the job of creating a new character for the stage or the microphone, however, exactly as if he were solving a problem in engineering. He analyzes the part, studies it, takes it to pieces and puts it together again. Before he began acting Jeeter Lester he spent three solid months learning all he could about the people of backwoods Georgia. There's not a great deal that can be told about Henry's private life. He always says what he thinks, and he thinks that what he eats for breakfast or what color pajamas he wears are matters which are his own business and no one else's. He is married and has two sons — Henry, Jr., who is a successful radio director but will shortly give up his career to enlist in some branch of the armed forces, and Shelley, who is in the Air Corps. He has a combined country home and farm at Lyme, Connecticut, which he operates in a very efficient and business-like manner. He has always been a good business man as well as a good actor, and has seldom appeared in plays that didn't run a long time and make money. Right now he's getting ready to star in another stage play, as well as on the air. His part in the new show is that of a man eighty-four years old, which doesn't bother him a bit. He's a specialist at making up to look old and ugly — in fact, while he was in Hollywood most of his movie parts called for a whole kit-bag full of false hair, false teeth and even false eyes, which he wore over his real ones. 1:30 8:30 8:45 9:00 8:45 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:45 11:00 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:15 2:30 5:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 2:45 3:10 3:30 3:45 3:45 8:00 4:00 8:15 4:15 4:30 4:45 4:45 5:00 8:00 9:15 8:15 8:30 8:30 5:30 5:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:30 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 t i 6 8:00 8:00 8:00 2:30 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 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:30 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 2:30 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 3:45 3:45 4:00 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:15 4:30 5:30 4:30 4:30 4:45 4:45 4:45 5:00 5:00 5:10 5:30 5:45 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:15 6:30 6:30 6:45 6:45 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:30 7:55 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:15 8:30 8:30 8:30 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:30 8:30 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:1 10 10 10 10 10:4 10:4 10:4 11 11 11 11.. 11:4 11 WEDNESDAY Eastern War Time Blue: CBS: Blu 15 00 00 BC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: 5 Blue: 45 NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: CBS: 30 Blue: CBS: - CBS: 00 Blue: 15 CBS: :15 MBS: 15 Blue: 30 CBS: 45 CBS: BC: BS: BS: uc: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: BS: Blur NI NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: 15 NBC: 30 CBS: 30 Blue: 30 MBS: 30 NBC: -;45 CBS: 5:45 Blue: 5:45 NBC: 6:00 CBS: 6:00 Blue: 6:10 CBS: 6:30 CBS: 6:45 CBS: 6:45 Blue: 6:45 NBC: 7:00 CBS: 7:00 NBC: 7:15 CBS: 7:15 NBC: 7:30 CBS: 7:30 Blue: 7:45 CBS: 7:45 NBC: 8:00 CBS: 8:00 Blue: 8:00 MBS: 8:00 NBC: 8:15 Blue: 8:30 CBS: 8:30 Blue: 8:30 MBS: 8:30 NBC: 8:55 CBS: 9:00 CBS: 9:00 MBS: 9:00 Blue: 9:00 NBC: Texas Jim News Broakfast Club Show Without a Name School of the Air Valiant Lady Isabel Manning Hewton Stories America Loves Newt The O'Neill!
