Tune-In Bulletin for July 2, 9, 16 and 23! July 2: Two new programs tor you to listen to this evening — Meredith Wilison's orchestra, Kay St. Germain and Roy Hendricks in a variety show, taking over Fibber McGee's spot on NBC-Red at 9:30 . . . and Tommy Dorsey's orchestra pinch-hitting at 10:00 over the same network while Bob Hope takes a summer rest. . . . NBC broadcasts tonight's fight between Tony Galento and Max Boer at Jersey City. July 9: Big events in sports and music. The All-Stor Baseball Gome comes from St. Louis on all networks, and Lorry Clinton and his orchestra open tonight at Meadowbrook, broadcasting over NBC and MBS. July 16: Hove you noticed that By Kathleen Norris (the current serial story is "Mystery House") has moved to NBC-Red at 10:45 A.M.? July 23: Mai Hallett and his orchestra open at Kennywood Park, Pittsburgh, and you can hear them on NBC. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Battle of the Sexes, starring Frank Crumit and Juiia Sanderson, sponsored by Molle Shaving Cream, and heard on NBC-Red at 9:00, with a rebroadcast to the Pacific Coast at 8:30, P.S.T. Don't be deceived by the title. There's no battle here, although teams of men and women line up to see which sex knows the answers to the most questions. Actually it's a quiz show in which Julia and Frank do their best to help each side. And if there is a battle, it's almost a draw. In the 87 broadcasts since the show first went on the air September 20, 1938, the men have won 45 and the women 42. On points the men have another small lead, 6,478 to 6,415. Maybe the reason it's so close is that Julia and Frank ore both so goodnatured. If they think a question is too hard they'll hint and hint until the contestant guesses it. And they're always careful not to ask any personal questions or questions which might stir up trouble in the home and cause a real battle of the sexes. Frank and Julia are one of the stage's most happily married couples. That they're on the air every Tuesday is a surprise to them both, because back in 1928 they bought a house near Springfield, Mass., optimistically called it "Dunrovin," and decided to retire from theatrical life. Julia was to keep house, and Frank was to take things easy and be a bond salesman on the side, just to give him something to do. Julia discovered that she didn't much like to cook, and Frank found out he couldn't sell U. S. Treasury bonds to Secretary Morgenthau — not that he ever tried, but he knew he couldn't. They gave up their idea of retiring and went on the air. They still live at "Dunrovin," coming to New York every week for the program. Usually they arrive on Monday, to have a night in town for a show or other entertainment. Early Tuesday evening they come to the studio and go over the one song apiece which they sing on the show, but that's all the rehearsing they do, unless you count a party Saturday night at which they try out questions from the coming week's script on their guests, just to see how easy or hard they are. If you were a contestant on the Battle of the Sexes 7ou'd get up on a stage and have a placard with your name printed on it hung around your neck. This is so Frank and Julia won't get names mixed up. Contesting teams are often chosen from groups which are supposed to have a natural rivalry — maids and butlers, bosses and secretaries, men and women employees of the some company, college boys and college girls, and so on. Mothers and sons were on the show once, and Frank and Julia thought the contest would be terrific, but it turned out to be a flop. They were giving away watches for prizes and the mothers were all so anxious to have their sons win that they deliberately gave the wrong answers. 44 SAY HELLO TO . . . KAY ST. GERMAIN— who sings tonight on Meredith Wilson's variety musical show, which is talcing the place of Fibber McGee and Molly for the summer. Kay began her career with Anson Weeks, after succeeding in an audition which she took only because her friends at the University of California said she'd never dare. Kay was born in North Dakota in 1915, and traveled extensively in South America and Europe with her parents when she was a child. Even then she liked to sing. She has beautiful dark brown hair and green eyes, weighs 128 pounds, and once was rumored engaged to Edgar Bergen — but that seems all over now. RADIO AND TELEVISION IVIIRBOR
