By today the delegates ought to have really settled down to choosing a candidate. ON THE AIR TODAY: The Goldbergs, on CBS at 1:00 P.M., E.D.S.T., sponsored by Oxydol and starring Gertrude Berg. And in the cast are two very Interesting people. They're Mimi Aguglia and Tito Vuolo, who play Michael's grandmother and his uncle. Carlo. Both were born in Italy, both have won laurels on radio, stage and screen, and both are making their Englishspeaking debut on the air in The Goldbergs. First — Mimi Aguglia, who rotes being called "Madame" Aguglia, because she's a Great Name of the Theater. She was even born in the wings of a theater, the St. Cecile in Palermo, Sicily, while her mother was waiting for her father, Ignoce Aguglia, to finish his day's work prompting the performers. Mimi made her stage debut at the age of five, speaking not her native Italian, but French; and went on from there to act in Europe, the United States, South America, and Mexico. Her American debut was in 1909, in on Italian ploy. Later she appeared in English; and she also has spoken Spanish, French and Portuguese on the stage. Her greatest success was as "Salome," and the last time she appeared in Hiis part was in 1938, in the Greek Theater at the University of California. For the last year she has been living in Brooklyn and doing radio work in Italian over WOV, a foreign-language station. The dark-eyed, vivacious Madame Aguglia was married when she was fifteen years old — and, she'll tell you proudly, she's still married to the same man. They have a home in Brooklyn, near the sea, so that when the weather is good her husband can fish — a sport which he loves and she hates. "Sitting for hour after hour, doing nossing — oh, no! Not for me!" she says scornfully in her slightly accented voice. They have three children, two of whom are in radio in California. Tito Vuolo, Mrs. Berg's other Italian actor, is a roly-poly little man who was born in Naples and went on the stage at the age of ten to support his widowed mother. He studied singing, and made a name for himself in Italy as a comedian and singer, then came to America and was in vaudeville as a comedian for a long time. Like Madame Aguglia, he now lives in Brooklyn, in a home he owns himself, with his wife and three daughters, and like her he appears in Italian programs, which he directs himself, over New York's station WOV. Tito is very jolly, loves lobster and good red wine, poker and parties with all his friends. Rather proudly, he admits that he never hod a chance to go to school when he was a boy, and didn't learn to read until he was fifteen, when he taught himself. He's also taught himself to speak very good, although accented, English. SAY HELLO TO . . . ARTHUR PETERSON— beloved, kindly Dr. Ruthledge in the two serials, The Guiding Light and The Right to Happiness, on NBC-Red and CBS today. Art belongs to a theatrical family — sisters, cousins, aunts, parents and grandparents are all actors, and so is his wife. He met the latter. Norma Ransom, at a dramatic production at the University of Minnesota. He and Norma live in Chicago in winter, in the country in summer. Art has one pet ambition — to lose gust a few pounds so he can get back into an old and cherished suit. His favorite dish is tuna fish casserole — provided it has been cooked by his wife. 46 RADIO AND TELEVISION 3VIIRBOR J
