THURSDAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
■ Ed East gives a really tough question to an Aslc-lt-Basket contestant.
Tune-In Bulletin for November 28, December 5, 12. 19 and 26!
November 28: Important listening for Thursday nights is the Town Meeting of the
Air on NBC-Blue at 9:35. The subject tonight is "What Kind of World Order Do We
Want?" December 5: Tommy Dorsey's Fame and Fortune program on NBC-Blue at 8:30 is bright
and gay, and offers a chance to hear songs written by unknown composers. Maybe
they'll be the hits of tomorrow. December 12: The Town Meeting of the Air subject for tonight is "What Are We
Preparing to Defend?" and it should start a hot-and-heavy discussion. December 19: "Is America Re-arming Efficiently?" is the subject they'll talk about on
tonight's Town Meeting of the Air. December 26: Who will win Horace Heidt's prize of a thousand dollars on the Pot O'
Gold program tonight? . . . The Town Meeting of the Air discusses "What Does the
Public Owe the Citizen Soldier?"
ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The Ask-ltBasket, with Ed East as master of ceremonies, on CBS at 8:00, rebroadcast to the West at 8:30, P.S.T. — sponsored by Colgate Dental Cream.
Although it suffers from one of the worst titles ever devised by man, the Ask-ltBasket is one of radio's most entertaining quiz programs. Its new master of ceremonies and head quizzer, Ed East, helps make it so.
He's a fat man, Ed East is, and doesn't mind admitting it. Standing six feet one, he weighs 265 pounds, living proof that a lifetime in show business doesn't always impart a lean and hungry look.
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Ed went to school with Hoagy Carmichael, who rose to fame later with his tune "Star Dust" and many other hits. Ed interrupted his own education when he was fifteen, by running away from home to join a carnival. He says he's never regretted the act. In the carnival he started out as odd-jobs boy and finally worked his way up to being the barker for a high diver. Then the carnival closed and Ed went back home to complete his education.
When he was seventeen and out of school, he tried vaudeville as a black-face comedian, but didn't get very far. He made his debut in Indianapolis, got stage fright, and was withdrawn after one disastrous performance. So he gave up vaudeville and took to leading a dance
band. Later, he managed to conquer his stage fright and now is one of the best masters of ceremonies in radio.
In 1928 Ed met Ralph Dumke, another hefty gentleman, and together they formed the comedy team, "Sisters of the Skillet." They made their radio debut over station WGN in Chicago. After eight weeks nearly everyone at WGN was of the opinion that the station would be greatly improved if they'd take their act somewhere else. Harry Selinger, the boss, thought otherwise, and his confidence interested a sponsor in them.
Ed and Ralph have split up their partnership now, but they're still good friends. Ed came to the Ask-lt-Basket this Fall from another quiz show, Name It and Take It.
Besides being a comedian, Ed is quite a composer. He has written about 500 songs which have been published, and more which haven't. At one time he used to dash off ten songs a week for the "Sisters of the Skillet" act. He'd be the last person in the world to claim that they were all masterpieces.
He takes life easily, and his favorite saying is the one about "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday — ana it never happened." He's never in his life had enough fishing or cold beans.
If you ever get to be a contestant on the Ask-lt-Basket, you'll discover just how much Ed helps the program. He's a master at putting people at their ease.

SAY HELLO TO . . .
CONNIE HAINES — the lovely vocalist on Tommy Dorsey's Fame and Fortune program tonight on NBC. Connie's real name is Yvonne Marie Ja Mais, which is pretty but too hard to pronounce, she says. The greatest problem of her life is her smallness — she's exactly five feet tall and has a terrible time finding size 3 shoes and size 10 dresses. Born in Savannah, Ga.. Connie made her professional debut at the age of four. When she was fourteen she began a career of vaudeville and night club singing which finally led her to a featured spot with Tommy Dorsey. She's almost nineteen years old, and a brunette.
