HAVE YOU TUNED IN... The Bartons, on NBC-Blue Monday through Friday at 5: 15 P. M., E.D.S.T., rebroadcast at 5: 15, Central Daylight Time. Networks are always having trouble with children's serials. Either they're wildly exciting, in which case the kids like them and the parents disapprove; or they're so goody-goody the parents love them and the kids won't listen on a bet. That's why NBC is so proud of The Bartons. Youngsters and grown-ups alike get fun out of listening to it. Bud Barton, the story's twelve-year-old hero, is a normal American boy who gets into exciting adventures, but he never shoots to the moon in a rocket or chase, single-handed, a mob of gangsters. He's human, lovable and very real — and so is everything else that goes into his story. Harlan Ware, who writes the scripts of The Bartons, lives in California and has a son of his own who serves as the inspiration for Bud. Mr. Ware has troubles of his own just now, though. When The Bartons first went on the air Christmas night of 1939, the writer imagined Bud as being twelve years old. That was about the age, too, of Dick Holland, who played the role of Bud. But flesh-and-blood boys always grow older, and young Dick has now reached the stage of his life when his voice is apt to soar unexpectedly to a shrill soprano, then just as suddenly drop to a croaky bass. This doesn't exactly create an atmosphere of ease and relaxation among the other members of the cast (Fern Persons as Mother, Bill Bouchey as Dad, and Jane Webb as Midge) while the program's on the air, and the author doesn't know whether to let the Actional Bud grow up to keep pace with the real Dick or not. Dick Holland is so much a part of the program that it would be hard to find another boy to take his place if it were decided to keep Bud twelve years old indefinitely. He's a good-looking youngster who lives in Chicago with his parents, both non-professionals. ■^ For Eastern Standard Time or Central Daylight Time subtract one hour from Eastern Daylight Time >• DATES TO REMEMBER May 1: Professor Quiz, after one false start, is on his new time now — 10: 15 Thursday nights on CBS.
