Arlene is a radio veteran, and that means she's versatile. In addition, in spite of every obstacle, she has wanted to be an actress ever since she was a child — and that means she loves acting enough to do it well. Arlene's real name is Arline Francis Kazanjian. She dropped the Kazanjian because it's too hard to pronounce, and Arline got changed to Arlene when a proofreader made a mistake in her first radio listing. She adopted the new spelling for luck. That's characteristic of her. She got her start on the stage, before radio, by walking into the office of a producer she didn't even know, just because "his name sounded friendly to me." The dark-haired and vivacious Arlene is one of those actresses who had to persuade her parents that the stage was a fit place for a young girl to be. They weren't easy to persuade, either. She was born in Boston, and sent to study at the convent of Mount St. Vincent and the fashionable Finch Finishing School. This didn't help cure her theatrical ambitions, because she enthusiastically took part in all the school amateur dramatics. Then her father, a painter and photographer, sent her on a trip to Europe — but she came back still determined to act. He got her a job managing a gift shop in New York. She was bored. She wanted to act instead. With a school friend, she opened a photographic salon in New York, and this was a little more interesting, but not much. Her father finally gave up, and Arlene has been happily acting ever since. Acting is the one thing she does take seriously, though. She's always ready, as they say around the studios, "to make with the flip cracks," and keeps others on her programs laughing during rehearsals. One of her major disappointments is that no actress in New York has been in more unsuccessful Broadway plays than she has. Critics always give her performances good notices, but the plays close just the same. Once, only once, she says, she'd like to be in a hit. Another thing she'd like is to be in a play by William Saroyan. Like Arlene, he's Armenian, and she admires his work very much. Arlene is married to a motion picture executive, Neil Agnew, and they have an apartment in New York and a farm near Southbury, Connecticut. The estate covers 110 acres and is called Kettletown Farm because it was originally bought from the Indians for a kettle. On it Arlene and her husband raise dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, and horses. But though Arlene loves the country she won't live there permanently. She wants to be in the city, where you get a chance to act. 1:30 8:45 8:30 10:15 1:15 10:30 1:00 8:00 12:00 8:15 11:00 8:30 11:15 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 4:15 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 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 2:00 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 5:45 3:15 3:30 3:45 3:45 8:00 9:00 4:00 8:15 4:15 4:15 7:30 5:00 9:15 8:00 8:30 8:30 8:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 9:00 6:30 9:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:15 7:30 7:45 H i/i u 8:00 2:30 8:45 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:45 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:00 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 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 2KI0 2:15 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:15 3:15 3:15 3:30 3:30 3:45 3:45 3:45 4:00 5:00 4:00 4:15 5:15 4:15 4:30 4:30 4:30 4:45 5:45 WEDNESDAY Eastern Time 8:30|Blue: Texas Jim 9:00 Blue: Breakfast Club 9:15 CBS: School of the Air 9:45 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:15 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 12: 12: 12:45 5:30 5:45 5:45 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:15 6:15 6:15 7:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 7:30 7:30 8 8 8 7:55 8 8:00 8:00 8:00 9 9 9 8:30 8:30 9 9 9:00 9:00 9:00 9:00 10 10 10 10 9:15 10 9:30 10 9:45 10 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 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 3:15 3:30 3:30 3:45 3:45 4:00 4:00 4:00 4:15 4:15 4:15 4:30 4:30 4:45 4:45 4:45 5:00 5:00 5:00 5:15 5:15 5:15 5:30 5:30 5:30 CBS: Stories America Loves NBCRed: Edward MacHugh CBS: Betty Crocker NBC-Red: Bess Johnson CBS: Myrt and Marge Blue: Helen Hiett NBC-Red: Bachelor's Children CBS: Stepmother Blue: A House in the Country NBC-Red: Help Mate CBS: Woman of Courage NBC-Red: The Road of Life NBC-Red: Mary Marlin CBS: The Man I Married NBC-Red: Right to Happiness CBS: Bright Horizon Blue: Prescott Presents NBC-Red: The Bartons CBS: Aunt Jenny's Stories NBC-Red: David Harum CBS: Kate Smith Speaks MBS: John B.
