Tune-In Bulletin for January 24 and 31, February 7, 14 and 21 ! January 24: Glen Gray and his orchestra open at the Palladium, the new super ballroom in Los Angeles, tonight. They're going to broadcast over NBC. January 31: Joe Louis and Red Burman fight it out tonight at Madison Square Garden for the heavyweight title. NBC broadcasts the battle, with Bill Stern announcing. . . . Death Valley Days, on NBC-Blue at 8:30, has an interesting story to tell — about the telegraph operator who kept the wires open for eighty hours to send the news of Custer's Last Stand. February 7: Woody Guthrie and Burl Ives sing music you aren't likely to hear anywhere else on the CBS show, Back When I Come From. It's at 10:30 tonight. February 14: Joan Blondell stars in a story of love and marriage in I Want a Divorce, over Mutual at 9:30 tonight. Each broadcast is complete in itself — it's not a serial. February 21: Something that's vitally important to every American is told about on the CBS School of the Air this morning. It's the Panama Canal, and right now you'll want to know all you can about it. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Your Happy Birthday, variety and novelty program, on NBC-Blue at 9:35, E.S.T., sponsored by Twenty Grand and Spud Cigarettes. As they say at the start of the program, all you have to do to win money on Your Happy Birthday is to be born. It's got so that brilliant minds stay awake nights now trying to figure out new ways of giving money away over the air. Edward Wolf, who is head of a firm which originates and produces radio programs, thought up this method, and it's such a good one practically every radio owner in the country will be tuning in before long — or at least making sure some friend is tuning in for him. You don't have to listen to Your Happy Birthday to get a share of the $1000 that's given away each week, but it certainly helps. On each program there are dramatizations of events which took place on three different dates. Let's say that one program will dramatize events on these three dates: January 20, 1912, August 14, 1920, and May 2, 1898. If you were born one of those three days — month, day, and year — you're in the running for the money. After the dramatizations and some music by Jimmy Dorsey's band, Tiny Ruffner, the master of ceremonies, introduces a movie star who picks one of three candles out of a giant birthday cake set on the stage. Each of the candles has one of the three dates attached to it, and the one the movie star picks is the lucky date. Then the movie star digs into a bowl containing slips marked with all the Congressional Districts in the United States, and selects one slip. Everyone who was born on the winning date in the winning Congressional District gets a slice of the $1000 if he has proof of his birthdate and place. If there's only one claimant, he gets the full $1000. If there aren't any, that amount is added to the $1000 on a future program. But if you aren't listening in, and none of your friends who know your birthdate are listening in, you may never know you're entitled to the money. So better not take any chances. Tiny Ruffner, who hasn't been heard on the air much lately, returns as the Birthday Man, and Mary Small is the Birthday Girl. She also sings a song or two on each program,— and very nicely, too. With all the drawing of the winning birthday and birthplace, there's no lack of music on the program, because Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly, Jimmy Dorsey's two regular dance-band soloists, sing a number or two as well. SayMtf&To 50 JAN PEERCE — tenor star of the CBS Golden Treasury of Song this afternoon. You've also heard him frequently singing on the Radio City Music Hall program, Sundays over NBC. Jan came up to fame the hard way. He was born on the lower East Side to a poor immigrant family, and began studying violin when he was nine years old, using an instrument that cost four dollars and was almost too expensive for his mother to buy, at that. He began singing when he was 15, and grew up to play and sing in a hotel orchestra. Roxy, the showman, hired him for the Radio City Music Hall — and he's still there. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
