There's a new daytime serial on the air, and a new actress playing the leading role in it. The serial is We Love and Learn, on CBS at 2:30 p.m., EWT, and the actress is Betty Worth, portraying the part of Andrea Reynolds. Strictly speaking, of course, neither play nor actress is precisely new — just new to the network. We Love and Learn was broadcast until recently by means of recordings and under the title of As the Twig is Bent. Betty had the lead in it, too, and has done a good deal of radio work the last few years in supporting parts. Betty started her adult life as a stenographer— a very bad one, she says. She typed and took dictation until, one morning, she rebelled and walked out. This turned her family against her, because they couldn't see why a girl should throw up a good job to be an actress. After a few months of wandering up and down Broadway, living on a few cents a day, Betty had a hard time understanding it herself. She finally got a part in a play, and when it closed, a part in another. She says, "I was in a succession of turkeys the like of which the drama has never seen, before or since." Translated out of theatrical jargon, that means the plays were all very bad and closed almost as soon as they opened. In one of them, when Betty made her entrance the audience hissed her. Or she thought it was the audience — it turned out to be only the steam pipes of the heating system, but the experience was so unnerving it's a wonder she ever ventured back on a stage. After a season in a revue — 'I was in a couple of sketches," she says; "but really if you blinked you missed seeing me" Betty got a chance to be in a few March of Time broadcasts, and what she saw in the radio studios convinced her that acting for the microphone had it all over acting on the stage. "You get paid in radio," is the way she expresses the difference, concisely. Having made this decision she lost no time in finding a job on a local station where she spent eighteen months learning all there was to learn about microphone technique before venturing into the fierce competition of the networks. Betty's married to Michael Davidson, the nephew of Jo Davidson, the famous sculptor. They met at a party given by Bennett Kilpack, radio's Mr. Keen — and two weeks later they were married. That was five years ago. Michael is a radio script writer and press agent. They've recently bought a farm in Pennsylvania where they'll spend the summer. 8:30 10:15 1:45 10:30 12:45 8:00 8:00 8:00 8:15 8:15 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 4:15 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:45 2:00 2:15 2:30 2:45 2:45 3:10 3:15 3:30 7:30 3:45 8:00 7:30 8:00 8:15 4:15 7:30 4:30 7:30 5:00 9:15 8:30 5:00 8:30 8:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 9:00 6:30 6:30 6:30' 7:00 7:00 7:00| 7:00 i u 8:00 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 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 12:00 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:15 12:45 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 1:45 MONDAY Eastern War Time 8:301 Blue: Teias Jim 9:00|Blue: BREAKFAST CLUB 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:30 10:30 10:45 10:45 11:00 11:00 11:00 11:15 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 CBS: Harvey and Dell CBS: Valiant Lady NBC: Bess Johnson 12:30 12:30 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:45 2:45 2:45 CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: CBS: NBC: CBS: Blue: NBC: Blue: NBC: CBS: Bright Horizon Blue: John's Other Wife NBC: The Road of Life CBS: Aunt Jenny's Stories Blue: Just Plain Bill NBC: David Harum Stories America Love5 Helen Hiett Bachelor's Children Stepmother A House in the Country Help Mate Woman of Courage Mary Marlin Victory Begins at Home Orphans of Divorce The Bartons Honeymoon Hill Vic and Sade CBS: NBC: KATE SMITH SPEAKS Words and Music CBS: Big Sister CBS: Blue: Romance of Helen Trent Farm and Home Hour CBS: Our Gal Sunday CBS: Life Can Be Beautiful Blue: Baukhage Talking MBS: John B.
