HAVE YOU TUNED IN . . . Bringing Up Father, on NBC-Blue Tuesday nights at 9:00, E. D. T. (rebroadcast to the West at 7:00, P. S. T.), sponsored by Rinso. Yes, this is the famous old veteran of the comic strips in person. Instead of just looking at the pictures of Jiggs, Maggie, their daughter, Dinty Moore and all the other characters, you can now hear them in action on the air. And of course the story on the air is just as it has always been in the cartoons — Maggie is anxious to crash society, Jiggs wants to have a plate of corned beef and cabbage at Dinty Moore's, and daughter Nora'just wants to live her own life without interference. Around Radio Row, Bringing Up Father is what is called a "package" show. This means that the advertising agency which is hired by the sponsor to tell the world about a certain manufactured product — in this case, Rinso — doesn't produce the program itself. Instead, the scripts are written, the actors hired and rehearsed, and the music arranged by a company which makes a specialty of producing radio programs and nothing else. There are several such companies — Bringing Up Father is produced by one called Henry Souvaine, Inc. It's a method of getting radio programs on the air that seems to be getting more and more popular all the time. As Jiggs and Maggie, you hear Neil O'Malley and Agnes Moorehead, two of radio's top actors. Agnes, in fact, is considered by lots of folks who should know, to be one of the greatest actresses in America. She can do any kind of part on the air, and recently in Orson Welles' picture, "Citizen Kane," she scored a smashing success as Kane's mother. Agnes is a lot better looking than Maggie Jiggs is supposed to be. On the stage of the NBC studio where Bringing Up Father is broadcast there are life-sized cardboard pictures of the cartoon characters. When Agnes saw the one of Maggie she remarked, "This is the first time I've ever felt I didn't have any reason to be dissatisfied with my looks." Nora, Jiggs' and Maggie's daughter, is played by Helen Shields, a very clever young lady who looks like Miriam Hopkins, and Dinty Moore is played by Craig McDonnell, who looks like the late Walter Connolly. ^ For Eastern Standard Time or Central Daylight Time subtract one hour from Eastern Daylight Time ^ DATES TO REMEMBER September 1: It's Labor Day, sign that summer's coming to an end.
