ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The Old Gold Don Ameche Show on NBC'S Red network from 10:00 to 10:30 P.M., E.D.S.T. Here's a program that listeners liked on its first broadcast, and have gone on liking more and more as time went on. You con credit Mann Holiner, of the Lennen and Mitchell advertising agency, with the idea of bringing Mark Hellinger's short stories to radio. Hellinger — newspaper man, playwright, and author — didn't have radio in mind when he wrote many of these short stories, but they make perfect air entertainment because they're brief, exciting, and have surprise endings. Don Ameche, who acts in the plays, sings, and is master of ceremonies, always gets the script of the program early in the week for his approval. Then a rehearsal is held the night before the broadcast, and another one, with Victor Young's orchestra this time, on Friday afternoon. Broadcast time in Hollywood is six o'clock, so rehearsal usually goes on right up until time to go on the air. Serious little Pat Friday, who sings on the program, doesn't let radio cut into her school time. In order to attend rehearsals she has to cut Friday afternoon classes at the University of California at Los Angeles, but she makes up by spending all the time she con in a corner of the studio, carefully doing home work. Her singing coach, Adele Lambert, and her special accompanist, Helen White, are always on hand. Claire Trevor, Don's leading lady in the Hellinger plays, usually sits in the control room when she's not rehearsing, and knits rugs. That's port of her home-making campaign, and she expects to complete many a rug in these rehearsal intervals. She's one of the best-dressed women in Hollywood, and always shows up for the broadcast in a new and stunning costume, usually featuring a smart hat. Don, as usual, is the life of the broadcast party. Thot man refuses to take anything too seriously. He always sees the comical side of everything that happens, and likes to joke with the cast, with Olcott Vail, his special violin accompanist, and with the singing group (known on the air as Six Hits and a Miss). Most singers would be pretty mad if you told this on them, but Don doesn't mind. He has a good singing voice, as you know, but no ear for pitch at all, so Vail always stands close beside him while he's singing, playing the melody on the violin so Don will be sure not to drift off the right notes. Victor Young, musical director of the program, has the reputation of being one of Hollywood's finest orchestra leaders. Especially successful on this show is his background music, which he composes himself, for the dramatic spots. 52 SAY HELLO TO . . . DICK TODD — the baritone soloist on Home Town, Unincorporated. Dick comes from Montreal, and was already established as a popular singer in Canada before he headed south of the border, down U.S.A. way. In this country a couple of guest appearances on the Magic Key of RCA show, and a season as soloist with Larry Clinton's orchestra, brought him a large and lusty fan following. In physical makeup, Dick's built like a football player: no wonder, because he was one, in McGill University. Boxing, swimming and wrestling are a few more things he was noted for in college, where he studied engineering. BADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
