Tune-In Bulletin for May 27, June 3, 10, 17 and 24! May 27: Jack McLean's orchestra opens tonight in Bill Green's Casino in Philadelphia, broadcasting over CBS . . . Listen to a strange new personality today — Fletcher Wiley, on CBS at 2:30. He's an old favorite in the West, but new to the networks. June 3: "Till We Meet Again" is scheduled for the Lux Radio Theater, tonight at 9:00 on CBS, starring Merle Oberon, George Brent and Pat O'Brien. June 10: The Aqueduct Race Track on Long Island opens today, and all the networks will be there with bells on their microphones, telling you about it. June 17: For a really funny half-hour, tune in Blondie tonight, on CBS at 7:30. June 24: The big show starts today — the Republican Presidential Convention gets under way at Philadelphia, and of course all the networks will have their crock air reporters and commentators there until the excitement is over and a candidate chosen. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The Telephone Hour, starring James Melton, Francia White, Don Voorhees' orchestra and Ken Christie's chorus, on NBC-Red at 8:00 P.M., E.D.S.T., sponsored by the Bell Telephone System. It is very, very nice to have the beautiful voices of Jimmy Melton and Francia White back on the air, and all lovers of pure melody ought to be happy. Melton hasn't been broadcasting for some months, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been busy. There have been concert dates, guest spots, other professional jobs — and in addition there's been his boat, in which he loves to cruise around Long Island Sound, singing at the top of his voice in competition with the wind and the waves. Most singers couldn't do this — their voices wouldn't stand the damp air and the strain — but Jimmy is a physical giant, six feet three inches tall and weighing 196 pounds, and he believes singing at sea actually improves his voice. Jimmy's co-star, Francia White, will be remembered for her broadcast appearances with Nelson Eddy and Fred Astaire. A tiny brunette in her mid-twenties, Francia owes much of her success to the fact that her mother was a singing teacher. Phoebe Ara White was well on the way to an opera career of her own when romance caught up with her. Her husband insisted that she retire from public activities, but she never got out of touch with musical things, and not long after Francia was born she began teaching other young people to sing. Francia listened, bigeyed, to the pupils practicing their scales, and pretty soon nothing would do but that she must reach for high C herself — and she made it. After that, she was one of her mother's prize pupils. An interesting thing about The Telephone Hour is that it's the first network program the Bell Telephone System has ever put on the air — yet NBC and the other networks annually pay the Bell System millions of dollars in rentals and service charges for the wires which carry programs coast-to-coast. (About time, don't you think, that they were giving a network its chance to earn some of that money back?) Another funny thing is that with the whole big pile of Radio City to broadcast from. The Telephone Hour originates in NBC's old studios farther up Fifth Avenue — studios which are relics of pioneer broadcasting days and are so small that a studio audience can't be admitted to watch Jimmy and Francia sing. The reason for this is that NBC still has a lease on those studios, sub-leases them to the World Broadcasting Company, which makes recorded programs and has some sort of business tie-up with one of the companies which has a tie-up with the Bell System. All very complicated, but it all boils down to keeping The Telephone Hour in the Bell System's family. SAY HELLO TO . . . PAULA WINSLOWE — who, because she is one of Hollywood's busiest radio actresses, is almost certain to be heard tonight on the Lux Theater. First heard on the networks as Leslie Howard's leading lady, Paula has since played leads opposite most of Hollywood's masculine movie guest stars.. Whenever he is scheduled for a radio job, Clark Gable always asks to broadcost with her. liiil^^^^^t^ JULY, 1940 45
