We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

FRIDAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
■ Marlin Hurt chortles as Virginia Verrill sings.
Tune-In Bulletin for July 26, August 2, 9, 16 and 23 I
July 26: The quiz program has finally gone juvenile — at 10:30 tonight there's one called
Quiz Kids in which smart children answer all the questions. It's on NBC-Red. August 2: Beginning tonight, the Cities Service Concert on NBC-Red at 8:00 is going
to be "streamlined" — which really means it's being cut from an hour to thirty minutes. August 9: Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra open tonight at the Cedar Point Ballroom
in Sandusky, Ohio, broadcasting over NBC. August 16: George McCall is back on the air, gossiping about Hollywood tonight over
CBS at 8:00, E.D.S.T. August 23: Three of Broadway's cleverest actors are in Strictly Business, the comedy
play at 8:00 on NBC-Blue — Shirley Booth, Peggy Conklin, and Lawson Zerbe.
ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Show Boat, an old and famous broadcasting name in an entirely new program, on NBC's Blue network at 9:00 P.M., E.D.S.T. (rebroadcast to the Pacific Coast at 7:30 P.M., P.S.T.) and sponsored by Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation for Avalon Cigarettes. With the one exception of Virginia Verrill, who was a member of the original company, the new Show Boat is a decidedly new vessel. Marlin Hurt, its comedian, is a complete newcomer to network radio. It has two orchestras instead of one. And the running story that characterized the original Show Boat has been just about eliminated.
Cap'n Henry is missing, too. The skipper of this Show Boat is Cap'n Barney Barnett, a role entrusted to Carlton Brickert, wellknown character actor and announcer. Just as in the old days, the Cap'n begins the show each week by announcing the name of the town where the Boat is supposedly tied up that night. Then he continues as master of ceremonies, introducing Ginny Verrill's songs, Marlin Hurt's comedy, and the musical selections played by Bob Trendler's orchestra and chorus and Bob Strong's dance band.
Show Boat is pretty proud of young Marlin Hurt, and considers him a real comedy find. He's been in radio a long time — but as the "Dick" of the Tom, Dick and Harry song team. His flair for natural comedy got him a chance at the comedian's part when Show Boat returned to the air, and he's made good in a big way.
You hear him playing himself, and two other people as well. He's Beulah, blackface comedienne (that's Marlin as Beulah in the picture with Virginia Verrill above), and he's also the speaking voice of Jeff Higgins, the Show Boat's whiz-bang guitarist. The actual guitar playing is done by George Barnes, who can get around a guitar faster than a cooper going around a barrel. As for Marlin, his Beulah characterizations have turned out to provide some of radio's funniest moments. Meanwhile, although he's now a comedian, Marlin hasn't given up his work in the Tom, Dick and Harry song combination.
Virginia Verrill, song star of the company, is the same smooth-voiced contralto you heard on the old Show Boat, and has been on the air since with Ed Wynn, Tommy Riggs, Walter O'Keefe and Jack Haley. Unlike many people, Ginny isn't headed for Hollywood — that's where she comes from. Her grandfather, B. C. Edwards, helped found the town.
Another star name on the cast is that of Dick Todd, the young carrot-topped baritone who is one of this year's biggest recording successes. He has the heaviest record-making schedule of any singer in the country, and is kept busy planing back and forth between Chicago, where Show Boat originates, and Camden, N. J., where his record company has its studios. But Dick's like that other top singer, Bing Crosby — easy-going and good-natured, and takes everything in his stride without getting excited.

SAY HELLO TO . . .
DEL SHARBUTT — the announcer you're likely to hear no matter when you tune your radio In. A few of his programs are Lanny Ross' tonight, the Ask-it-Basket, Myrt and Marge, and Aldrich Family. He's a tall, blond Texan from Fort Worth who originally studied law but became interested in radio while he was still in college. Hit father is a circuit-riding minister in the Texas panhandle. Because of his drawl (off the air), he's known to the boys around the studios as "Pappy," but he has a real right to the title, because he and his wife have two children. He's also the composer of some hit songs.
