Red Skelton and his comedy variety show on NBC-Red Tuesday nights at 10:30, E.S.T., sponsored by Raleigh Cigarettes. You'd never guess from Red Skelton's breezy manner that his life has been as full of ups and downs as a fever-chart. Red had a first name — Richard — when he was a boy back in Vincennes, Indiana, but it disappeared when he joined a traveling medicine show at the age of ten as a ukulele player, singer and comedian. The others in the show took one look at his sunset-colored mop of hair and rechristened him. In between tours with the medicine show he managed to squeeze in enough lessons to finish grammar school, but then he hit the road for good, joining first a stock company, then a minstrel outfit, then a showboat. He was only seventeen when he married Edna Stillwell, a theater usherette. She is still Mrs. Skelton, and as clever as she is pretty, which is saying a lot. With Edna, Red turned to a new branch of show business, walkathons, and for some time managed a precarious living by acting as master of ceremonies while Edna was the cashier. That particular manifestation of national idiocy finally died out, and Red wangled himself a screen test, which was completely unsuccessful. So in 1935 Red and Edna went into vaudeville, Edna writing the comedy material and Red delivering it on the stage. One bit of comedy had to do with the proper method of dunking doughnuts, and some movie producers thought it was so funny they gave Red a part in Ginger Rogers' picture, "Having Wonderful Time," on the strength of it. It didn't seem so funny on the screen, and Red deserted movies, temporarily, for radio. He was star of Avalon Time for a year, then signed a contract with MGM, made a smash hit in "Whistling in the Dark," and now is back on the air once more. It looks as though the lean years are over for good. The Tuesday-night broadcasts are pretty much family affairs. Edna still writes Red's comedy scripts, and there is another happily married couple on the show — Ozzie Nelson, who leads the band, and Harriet Hilliard, who sings the songs. DATES TO REMEMBER December 2: The NBC Symphony Orchestra has a new conductor for its concert tonight — Juan Jose Castro, from Buenos Aires.
