Tune-In Bulletin for January 29, February 5, 12 and 19! January 29: Tony Martin's back on the air — good news for everyone who likes romantic song. Listen to him on NBC-Red at 8:00 tonight — and to the program which comes right after his fifteen minutes, How Did You Meet, which consists of dramatized accounts of listeners' meetings with their future sweethearts. February 5: Spin and Win, on NBC-Blue at 9:35 tonight, is a complicated sort of quiz show with money prizes — but it's sort of fun, too. February 12: It's Lincoln's Birthday, and the networks will have some special programs commemorating the life of that great American. . . . NBC broadcasts the Santa Anita Derby from the Santa Anita track at Arcadia, California. February 19: For a balanced ration of comedy tonight, why not listen to Eddie Cantor for thirty minutes on NBC-Red at 9:00, then switch over to the last half of Fred Allen's program on CBS at 9:30? ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Cavalcade of America, on NBC-Red at 7:30, E.S.T. (rebroadcast to the West at 6:30, P.S.T.), sponsored by the E. I. DuPont de Nemours Co. In the radio business this is what is known as an "institutional" program. In other words, it doesn't try to sell the product of its sponsor as much as it tries to build up good will and familiarize the public with the sponsor's name. Many radio programs are failures because, although they're good shows, they don't send the sponsor's sales up. Cavalcade of America doesn't have to worry about that — all it needs to do to be a success is give you an inspiring and entertaining halfhour once a week, and to that end it hires radio's most capable actors, America's best-known authors, and every now and then an unusual guest star. Patriotism is its theme. Every week the story of some incident or significant phase of our country's history is dramatized. The people who run the show try to match up famous authors with subjects they've always been interested in. For instance, Alexander Woollcott wrote and acted in authors who've done Cavalcade scripts are Marc Connelly, Maxwell Anderson, Cal Tinney and Stephen Vincent Benet. The Cavalcade dramas are directed by a plump, dynamic little man named Homer Pickett, who looks enough like Winston Churchill to be his American twin. A regular "stock company" of actors divide up the various parts on each script. There are eight of these regulars, they're heard on each program, and their names make up a list of radio acting aristocracy: Ed Jerome, Carl Swenson, Jeanette Nolan and her husband, John Mclntire, Ray Collins, Ted Jewett, Agnes Moorehead and Kenneth Delmar. A member of this acting company may have an important role one week and only a couple of lines the next — just as actors used to do in the old-time stage stock companies which changed bills every week. A Cavalcade broadcast is a dignified affair. Everyone, including the members of Don Voorhees' orchestra, wears evening clothes as a matter of course. (Although once, as an experiment, Maxwell Anderson's play, "Valley Forge," was broadcast with the actors wearing the Colonial cosa script about the Battle Hymn of the tumes of the drama's period. It was nice Republic. The Cavalcade of America for the studio audience, but certainly people knew he was interested in the sub didn't mean a great deal to listeners.) A ject before they ever decided to do a Broadway theater, the Ritz, is used for broadcast on it, so he was the logical the broadcasts, and an audience of 1200 person to choose for the job. Other people attends each one. S«yt/e£&Z ANN THOMAS — a sweet-faced young miss of 23 who is radio's expert in tough-gal roles. You hear her tonight as the thick-witted maid. Lily, in Meet Mr. Meek over CBS — and other days when you tune in a particularly tough feminine voice, the chances are that's Ann too. She's a veteran of some 35 productions on Broadway, and long since lost count of all her microphone characterizations. Her biggest thrill recently came when Minerva Pious, Fred Allen's dependable comedy actress, had to go to Hollywood for two weeks and Ann was chosen to handle her roles on the Allen program. She's blonde, New York born, and single. 46 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
