ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Pipe Smoking Time, on CBS at 8:30, E.S.T., rebroadcast to the West at 8:30, P.S.T., sponsored by Model Smoking Tobacco. In spite of its title, Pipe Smoking Time is just as entertaining for women as it is for men, so don't be scared away, ladies. Late in November this program, which has been on the air for several years, was given a thorough overhauling and a new cast was installed. Now it's a show unlike any other you can hear on any network. Arthur Fields and Fred Hall contribute their own songs and homely humor; Edward Roecker, baritone, sings old-time songs and new ones, too; and Woody Guthrie, Dust-Bowl refugee, strums what he calls his "git-tar" and sings ballads which he and others like him have made up. In short — a colorful assortment of entertainers. Fields and Hall have been in radio since 1925. Before that, Fields was with the famous vaudeville act, the Avon Comedy Four. He left it in 1910 to make phonograph records (the old-fashioned cylinder type) for Thomas A. Edison. In his long career he estimates that he's made more than a thousand different recordings, reaching his greatest popularity in that field during the first World War — in which, incidentally, he was a buck private. On Pipe Smoking Time, Fields does most of the singing for the team; Hall plays the piano and recites the songs without both Edward Roecker was on Pipe Smoking Time before, in the season of 1937-38, when Pick and Pat were the comedy stars of the show. As for Woody Guthrie — well, Woodie is a hobo. He was dusted out of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl in 1936, taking with him only his guitar and some tunes that he carried in his head. He went to California, but he didn't look for work there because he soon found that a couple of songs were usually good for a meal. He's been touring around the country, by foot and boxcar, ever since. John Steinbeck met him in California and arranged for him to sing a song in the movie version of "The Grapes of Wrath." Woody's voice, Steinbeck says, sounds exactly like a tire iron hitting a rusty rim, and perfectly expresses the Okie spirit. This is Woody's first commercial program, but he has recorded a number of Dust Bowl ballads, and a permanent record of his songs has been filed in the Library of Congress at Washington. Some of his songs go on for hours, because they have more than a hundred stanzas each. Woody himself doesn't know how many different ballads he knows by heart, but he figures he could probably sing and play for two or three days straight and never repeat himself. He's never tried it. Twenty-four hours is about as long as he's ever been able to hold up in a song fest. S«y Ak& 7o PERCY FAITH — Canadian-born maestro cf the Carnation Contented program tonight on NBC. Percy began his career at the age of 11, piaying the piano in a Toronto mov.e theater. In 1933 he joined the musical staff of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and last Fall he became permanent conductor of the Carnation show. He's married and has two children, Marilyn, 8, and Peter David, 3. Complete Progr FEBRUARY, 1941 39
