Tune-In Bulletin for January 2, 9, 16 and 23! January 2: After all these years, Major Bowes and his amateurs are still on the air — CBS at 9:00 tonight — and what's even more surprising, after all these years they still provide a mighty entertaining show. January 9: Don't forget America's Town Meeting on NBC-Blue at 9:35 tonight. In these days of war and unrest, the Town Meeting's discussions are more than ever important to hear. January 16: The American School of the Air on CBS presents the story of Meggy Macintosh on its Tales From Far and Near this morning. January 23: Some of the most remarkable true stories you ever heard will be on Strange As It Seems, over CBS at 8:30 tonight. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The Kraft Music Hall, with Bing Crosby and Connie Boswell, Bob Burns, and John Scott Trotter's orchestra, heard on NBC-blue at 9:00, E.S.T., and sponsored by Kraft Products. If you thought the Kraft Music Hall was pretty good last year, you'll call it practically perfect now, for in addition to Bing it now has Connie Boswell as a regular member of the cast. The addition of Connie is particularly important because she and Bing are old friends. They've known each other since the days when both were struggling young singers trying to get along. In fact, the Boswell Sisters — Martha, Connie and Vet — came to Hollywood back in the late I920's, when the Rhythm Boys (one of them was Bing) were knocking around from one night-club engagement to another. Connie and her two sisters went on the air in their first commercial program the same week Bing got his first commercial. Back in New York, they appeared together in "George White's Scandals," and made their first phonograph record together, Connie on one side of the record, Bing on the other. And their movie debuts were in the same picture, Paramount's "Big Broadcast of 1932." Now they're together again, and having a fine time. Frail, slender little Connie is 105 pounds of courage. She was born in New Orleans, and at the age of four she fell from a coaster wagon, suffering injuries that almost completely paralyzed her. Through the years she recovered from the effects of her fall, and she and Martha and Vet went on the vaudeville stage as an instrumental trio. Interpolated songs seemed to please audiences better than their instrumental efforts, so eventually they gave the latter up and went on to fame as singers. Several years ago, Connie fell again, and since then she has been confined to a wheel chair, unable to walk. That didn't daunt her spirit, and neither did the marriages of Martha and Vet, which put her up against the problem of retiring or continuing as a soloist. She chose the latter course. She's married to Harry Leedy, her manager, and gets around seated on a little wheeled stool which looks as little as possible like a wheel chair. She makes all her own vocal arrangements, and plays the cello, piano, trumpet and saxophone; writes plays and poetry when she can't go to sleep at night, and frequently takes time out from all these pursuits to paint pictures. Connie and Bing have a language of their own which nobody else in the world understands. Whenever they meet, he says, "I need a haircut," which sends her off into gales of laughter. Nobody knows what he means except Connie and Bing, and they won't tell. Before Bing came from his vacation in mid-November, there were widespread rumors that he'd leave the Kraft Music Hall. They seem to have been just rumors, and that's a good thing. He and Connie make a singing and wise-cracking team that should be kept on the air by force, if necessary. S^t/eMoi; 42 DOROTHY GREGORY — who in a few months after her graduation from high school is already playing the important role of Geraldine Quinton in Scattergood Baines. Dorothy studied dramatics and dancing while she was going to school, and when she graduated set out to break into radio. One day, sitting in a studio reception room, she realized auditions were being held in the studio next door. She picked up a script another actress had left behind, and at the first opportunity rushed into the studio and up to the mike. Her name wasn't on the list of auditioners, but officials listened — and gave her the job. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
