Tune-In Bulletin for July 29, August 5. 12, 19 and 26! July 29: The Washington Merry-Go-Round, with Drew Pearson and Bob Allen, is on NBC-Blue these Monday nights at 8:30.

ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Doctor I.Q., on NBC-Red tonight at 9:00, sponsored by Mars Candy bars. Here's a quiz program where there's real money floating around. Prizes given away on each week's program amount to about $700 — sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. And all awards are paid in big round silver dollars, fresh from the mint. Both the audience in the theater where the broadcast originates, and the folks listening in can get in on the fun and the money. If you're lucky enough to be present at an I.Q. broadcast, just sit tight and wait for one of the good Doctor's assistants to poke a portable microphone at you, and then try to answer the question the Doctor asks you. If you're smart, you'll win money ranging from $3 to $100. Even if you aren't smart enough to answer the question, you'll get a box of Mars candy as a prize. Listening in at home, you can win even more, by sending in "true or false" statements or biographies of famous people. Doctor I.Q. wanders about the country, broadcasting from theaters in various large cities. Maybe he will come to your town next, and if he does don't fail to be in the audience. Doctor I.Q. (and how many of you know what the initials I.Q. stand for?) is really Lew Valentine, a good-looking young fellow who hails from San Antonio, Texas. Incidentally, the program itself originated in Texas — in the brain of a Houston man named Lee Seegal. Seegal proved that his own I.Q. is high by copyrighting the idea for the show, selling it to a sponsor, and collecting a royalty check every week. Lew is married, and between broadcasts frequently flies down to his home in San Antonio. On the air he sounds older than he is, and this embarrasses him sometimes. It's fine to sound mature and wise on the air, but incidents crop up — like the time Lew met a feminine I.Q. fan who didn't know who he was. She talked about how much she enjoyed Doctor I.Q., and, thinking to please her, Lew said, "As a matter of fact, I'm Doctor I.Q." She looked him up and down, sniffed, and said, "Don't try to fool me, young man. You don't look a day over twenty-seven." She was quite right — Lew is exactly twentyseven years old. Lew and two assistants, Don Heyworth and John Thorpe, think up a good many of the questions that aren't sent in by listeners. Others are originated by the advertising agency which produces the program. All concerned avoid technical questions, and try to think of queries that are within the realm of knowledge of the average man. A funny thing is that women are more opt than men to answer correctly questions dealing with the war and current events. Most men foil on spelling questions; most women on mathematical ones. SAY HELLO TO . . . RUSSELL THORSON — who stepped into the role of Charles Meredith in Midstream when Hugh Studebaker was ordered by his physician to take a long rest. Russell is a native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, a graduate of the University of Montana, a member of Sigma Chi and Sigma Delta Chi fraternities, and a veteran actor in dramatic stock. He got the part in Midstream after a series of auditions. Complete Programs from July 26 to August 27 SEPTEMBER, 1940 45
