MEET YOUR NAVY!...
When the ship's bells sound on a Friday night, it's time to "Meet Your Navy" on the Blue network. And you'll find when you tune in this gay, fast-moving variety show, that meeting the navy can be a very pleasant social duty.
The program comes to you direct from the U. S. Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois, and everyone you hear on it is a real sailor or sailor-to-be.
Not every naval recruit at the huge station is given a chance to broadcast, of course, but every single one is encouraged to audition for the show. Al Boyd, who besides being Production Manager of station WLS in Chicago is the producer of Meet Your Navy, hears all auditions, and purposely never knows the name of any recruit until after he's decided whether or not to put him on the show. This is to avoid having his opinion swayed by the knowledge that a man used to be a singer or entertainer in civilian life. There are a good many of these ex-professionals at the station, too — former singers, musicians, actors, comedians.
The most famous of them all, of course, is Lieutenant Commander Edwin E. Peabody, whose banjo solos are high lights of each broadcast. The Lieutenant Commander, much better known as Eddie Peabody, was called back into naval service nearly two years ago, and immediately was put in charge of the band, music and entertainment department at the training station. He scoured the station's roster for musicians and built up the swell band you hear on the air.
Eddie Peabody is such a wizard with the banjo that there is practically no important theater either in the United States or Europe where he hasn't appeared at least once. He's been on the air a lot, too. A guest appearance with Rudy Vallee lengthened itself into twenty-eight straight weekly broadcasts and for the last three years he has been heard regularly on the National Barn Dance. Eddie doesn't have to confine himself to playing the banjo, either — he's equally proficient on about thirty other instruments.
An important part of Eddie's duties at the training station is providing entertainment to maintain the morale of the new recruits, those undergoing "boot training," as it's called.
Meet Your Navy has been on the Blue network almost a year now, first as a sustaining show but for the last five months sponsored by Hall Brothers, who make Hallmark Greeting Cards. The show is short-waved to the far corners of the world, and appreciated there too, as hundreds of letters from sailor graduates, now stationed abroad, prove. And one part of the program the boys overseas certainly do approve of is its oft-repeated plea to listeners to send something — cigarettes, candy, or letters — to service men as often as possible.
