Tune-In Bulletin for July 1, 8, 15 and 22! July I: Bob Hope's scheduled to be tonight's guest star on the CBS Lux Theatre. . . . The Empire Race Track opens today, and NBC and MBS both will broadcast the excitement. July 8: Soy good-bye tonight to the Lux Theatre — it bows out for the summer. July 15: The Democratic Convention really gets into its stride today, with all the speakers jockeying around to do their stuff at night, when more people will be listening. . . . For a relief from oratory, here's a suggestion: The Telephone Hour, with James Melton and Francia White, on NBC-Red at 8:00. July 22: Two networks — CBS and Mutual — are bringing you a description of the Public Links Championship Golf play today. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Paul Sullivan, newscaster, in three broadcasts — 6:30 P.M. E.D.S.T., 5:15, C.S.T., and 9:00, P.S.T. The Mountain Time states take the last broadcast. Paul's sponsored by Raleigh Cigarettes. There's a difference of opinion about the excellence of Paul's broadcasts — a difference that he ought to know about. Too many people object violently to his mannered, rather affected way of talking. He phrases his sentences carefully, ending each phrase with an upward lift of the voice — as if he were uncomfortably conscious that millions of people are listening to every word he speaks. Maybe this doesn't bother you. Maybe it shouldn't bother anyone, since the news he brings you is always concise and complete, and that's the main thing in a newscaster. Paul's tag-line, "Good night and — thirty," has provoked plenty of comment among listeners too. Most people don't know what it means, and it irritates them. He has received letters asking him what he meant by "Certy," "Curtains," "Certain," "Dirty," "Gerty," and "10:30." The truth is that "Thirty" is simply the newspaperman's way of writing "the end." It originated with telegraph operators, who use the symbol to indicate the end of a dispatch. Paul worked up to network radio entirely through local broadcasting. When he was an undergraduate at the Benton College of Law in St. Louis, in November, 1931, he quit for financial reasons and applied at KMOX for a job as an announcer. He passed his audition but didn't get the job because they had all the announcers they needed at the station. Before that, Paul had been a bonk clerk, timekeeper and chauffeur, in jobs that never lasted more than three months. Two weeks after his audition at KMOX they hired him, and from there he went to stations in Springfield, Illinois, Cincinnati and Louisville. In the latter city he gained such fame as a newscaster that his sponsors put him on the network. Just after he'd signed the contract for his network programs, last fall, Paul decided that he wanted to go to Europe. It made no difference that thousands of Americans in Europe just then were straining every nerve to get home. With Mrs. Sullivan, he boarded the Clipper and landed in Ireland on the day England declared war on Germany. Flying is Paul's principal hobby. He got his biggest flying thrill when, piloting a plane alone, he thought he was going to faint. He didn't know what to do about it, and tried getting his head between his knees to restore circulation, but the quarters were too cramped for that. While he was doing this the plane just flew itself. Finally he realized he wasn't really going to faint, and flew straight for a field about five miles away, landing white-faced but intact. The experience didn't score him off flying, though, and he has ten solo hours. SAY HELLO TO . . . BARBARA FULLER — one of radio's most adroit "quickchange artists," who skips from the role of Peg Fairchild in Stepmother to that of Verna in Road of Life, and then to Barbara Calkins in Scattergood Baines, all in one day. It's easy for Barbara, because she's been working in front of the microphone since she was eleven. She studies singing, loves living in a city, and her nickname is "Bardy." AUGUST, 1940 43
