Tune-In Bulletin for May 29, June 5, 12 and 19! May 29: Don Bestor and his orchestra open tonight at the Muehlbach Hotel, Kansas City, playing over NBC. June 5: From the Belmont Race Track on Long Island, Mutual broadcasts the Sv/ift Stakes . . . For some Hoilyv/ood gossip, tune in Hedda Hopper tonight at 6:15 on CBS. June 12: It's still not too late to get interested in "Mystery House," the adventure thriller they are broadcasting serially on By Kathleen Norris, CBS at 5:00. June 19: Mutual broadcasts the Georgetown Steeplechase from Delaware Park . . . Larry Clinton's orchestra closes tonight at the New Yorker Hotel. It's been broadcasting over NBC. ON THE AIR TODAY: Four serials from the busy mind of Irna Phillips, radio's most prolific writer, who this month (May 30, to be exact) rounds out her tenth full year of continuous writing for the air. For a sample of Irna's work, listen today— If you're not already a fan — to Woman in White on NBC-Red at 10:45 A.M. ... or The Road of Life, NBC-Red at I 1 : 1 5 or CBS at 1 :45 P.M. ... or The Guiding Light, NBC-Red at 11:45 A.M. ... or The Right to Happiness, CBS at 1 :30 P.M. She writes 'em all, and they're all in top positions in the popularity surveys. Before she began her career as a writer, ten years ago, irna was an actress, and before that a school teacher. Beginning her first radio serial. Painted Dreams (It's still running, but she no longer writes it), she didn't even know how to use a typewriter — so she dictated her lines. She still does. In Today's Children, which followed Painted Dreams, she also played one of the leading characters, but when that serial went off the air she decided to devote all of her time to writing and none to acting. Carl Wester, an old friend of Irna's and now the head of the office which casts and produces all her scripts, will be giving her a testimonial dinner about the time of her anniversary, and so will NBC. Some of the things they'll congratulate her on at those dinners are: Having written approximately 6,000 radio scripts in the ten years of her career. Being, as for as Is known, the first woman to establish herself as the author of radio serials (when Irna began, Amos 'n' Andy were the only well-known daily serlalists on the air. Her pioneer work brought many women writers into radio as a new field for their talents). Being the person who started the careers of such people as Ireene Wicker, Gale Page, Lucy and Toni Gilman, Bess Johnson, Arthur Peterson and many others. This small, quiet woman gives employment to scores of people. Each of her four programs has a cast numbering from 30 to 40 actors. Producing so many programs means that numerous musicians, directors, engineers and sound effects men are kept busy. Besides those who work in the studios, there are the people in Irna's own office staff — secretaries, stenographers, research clerks, all of them busy as bees at full-time jobs. While she creates work for so many, Irna herself has to work, work, work. Although she doesn't do any of the physical labor of getting her ideas down on paper, she does conceive them all herself, and it takes real energy to keep your mind functioning at the high speed necessary to plot and write an average of four scripts a day. She recently returned from a four-week vocation in Honolulu — but In order to get away she had to write advance scripts for four weeks on each of her four programs — almost a superhuman task, but she did it. So you can see that all the congratulations Irna will receive on her anniversary — and Radio Mirror's are included — are well deserved. SAY HELLO TO . . . BEN GRAUER — conductor of tonight's amusing quiz program on NBC-Blue, What Would You Have Done? — and also announcer for many a network program. (He recently was awarded radio's biggest announcing plum, introducing Mrs. Roosevelt on her twice-weekly broadcasts.) His real name is Bennett, he's five and a half feet tall, weighs 135 pounds, will be 32 years old on June 2, has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He says he's too busy to get married, but he does have time to be an ardent collector of the most peculiar list of things: rare books, miniature whisky bottles, statuary, pottery, radio slang, and etchings.
