February 6: Listen to next week's news by tuning in Ahead of the Headlines on NBC-Blue tonight at 10:30. It recently moved to this new time from Sunday afternoons.

For folks who take their Saturdayafternoon opera broadcasts seriously, there's the Metropolitan Opera Guild program, NBC-Blue at 7:45, talking about next Saturday's performance. February 20: Recommendation of the night: the program that never disappoints, The Aldrich Family, on NBC-Red at 8:30. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Rudy Vallee's Sealtest Show, on NBC-Red at 10:00 P.M., E.S.T. After batting along for several months without making any remarkable dent in popularity-survey figures, Rudy Vallee's show has suddenly blossomed out into a half-hour that is real fun to listen to. That it wasn't so before was never Rudy's fault, exactly — things just didn't seem to click together into a fast, bright program. Now they do, and we all give thanks. Part of the improvement, at least, is due to that Bad Boy of the American Theater, John Barrymore, Esq. John hasn't reformed. He's still the unpredictable possessor of a sense of humor that's likely to run amok any minute. He refuses to stick to the script, and nearly drives the people who write it crazy. This is what happens every week. A couple of days before the broadcast, the program has a "preview" — a performance before a small invited audience. Barrymore takes the script and appears to read it, but inserts lines of his own that are so funny the script writers decide to incorporate them in the broadast version. Then, by the time the actual broadcast is given, Barrymore has thought up a whole new batch of ad-libs. The presence of an audience seems to intoxicate him, and he just can't help wandering away from the prepared script. The wonderful thing about him is that with all his spontaneous remarks, he never once has made the producers of the program wish they could censor what he says. His sense of showmanship and of what the public will like is so strong that he never oversteps the bounds of good taste. John's verbal high-jinks help Rudy, too. In the past, Rudy has sometimes been a little too dignified on the air. He can't be dignified when John's around. It's impossible to keep a straight face when the wildest of the Barrymores starts clowning — not that he ever stops. For instance, when Rudy introduces Barrymore to the studio audience, John always responds with a beautiful display of "ham" acting: hand on heart, head thrown back, eyelids fluttering in pleased surprise. It brings down the house, and from then on anything goes. You'd expect some outbursts of temperament between Rudy and John — and you'd expect wrong. Oddly enough, they get on fine. Rudy, mindful of his old desire to be an actor, studies the Barrymore technique and timing, and Barrymore, probably without meaning it at all, says he hopes he can learn from Rudy how to be a good business man and save his money. Anyway, they're fast friends — proof being that Barrymore's contract with the program was recently renewed for another thirteen weeks. S«yMe&'£ 48 YVETTE — who sings the solos on Xavier Cugat's program tonight over NBC. Yvette, whose real name is Elsa Harris, was born in Birmingham, Ala., on September 17, 1922. Her family is of French extraction, so she comes by her stage name honestly. She learned her intriguing Creole patois when she was a child attending a convent school in New Orleans. When she was 17 she came to New York, intending to study art. But some friends heard her sing and urged a musical comedy career on her; she auditioned for stage producers and an NBC talent scout heard her. Result — a radio debut last January and instant success. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
