Tune-In Bulletin for June 30, July 7, 14 and 21 ! June 30: If you're interested in dance music, two of your favorite orchestras are moving today — Gene Krupa's closes at Meadowbrook, where it's been playing on NBC and MBS; and Everett Hoagland's leaves the Cavalier Hotel at Virginia Beach (CBS). ... If you're interested in sports, the A.A.U. Track Meet is still being broadcast over NBC from Fresno. July 7: The Invitation to Learning program, which is something that's really good to listen to, discusses the Federalist Papers today. July 14: Well, the Republicans have had their day, and now the Democrats are starting their convention. All networks will carry the opening guns tonight. July 21: Al Donahue's orchestra opens at the Atlantic City Steel Pier on NBC. i ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Rhymo, starring Johnny Green and his orchestra, and sponsored by Philip Morris Cigarettes. You'll hear It on CBS at 8:30, E.D.S.T., rebroadcast to the Pacific Coast at 7:00, P.S.T. We don't guarantee the name of this program. When it first was announced to go on the air it was called Jingo. Then its name was changed to Swing-Go; then to Swingo; then to Rhyme-O; and finally to Rhymo. But by any name it's a pleasant thirty minutes of Johnny Green's music, with Ray Block's Swing Fourteen assisting, and interspersed with a clever idea in quizzes. Contestants must supply the lost line, or last few words, of a four-line jingle, using the name of a song which the orchestra ploys for a clue. Johnny Green is making his first appearance here as a master of ceremonies, and carries the job off with as much poise as if he'd been doing it all his life. Besides his three Philip Morris air programs, Johnny is branching out these days as a danceband maestro. He played at the Dancing Campus at the World's Fair, and at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City during the early port of the summer. He's pretty happy now that all through the period when hot, noisy swing was the fad in dance-music he kept a strong string section in his band instead of junking it and putting brass in its place. Now that sweet music is on the up-grade again, that policy is paying dividends for him. Betty Furness, Johnny's wife, should have returned to New York from a short vacation in Hollywood by the time you're reading this. Babs, their baby, is eight months old now and doesn't need so much of her mother's care, so Betty is planning to resume her acting career. Before her marriage she was doing well in Hollywood, and received critical applause for her work In the stage production of "Golden Boy" on the coast. Now, since Johnny's work keeps him in New York, she's concentrating on the stage and radio. Johnny works hard to make Rhymo a successful audience-participation show, even using entirely different rhymes for the repeat broadcast — this in order that people who have heard the first broadcast don't get into the studio audience at the second and know all the right last lines. It's fun to think up rhymes for use on the air, and Johnny pays $5 for every one he uses, so why don't you put your brains to work and win some money? Here's a sample to get you started: The things politicians will promise Oft raise our hopes to the skies, But once these guys get in office Their vows become — (name of a song).* The hardest thing about putting Rhymo on the air every week, Johnny says, is that professional musicians try to horn in on the fun. They know the names of all the popular tunes, so they like to come to the broadcast, hoping they'll get to be among the contestants and earn some easy money. J ♦"Little White Lies." | SAY HELLO TO . . . SIGMUND SPAETH — the tune detective who is branching out as a literary quii-master in tonight's CBS show, Fun in Print. Sigmund was raised to be a minister of the gospel but discovered that music was his real religion. He worked as a musical editor on newspapers, then developed an ability to trace any tune back to its origin—and this made him an expert in demand in musical plagiarism suits.
