Tune-In Bulletin for September 3, 10, 17 and 24! Septennber 3: The First Nighter, one of your favorite drannatic shows, is bacic for another season of broadcasting tonight, so tune in CBS at 8:30. . . . Mutual is to broadcast the World Series exclusively, so tonight at 10:15 (and every Tuesday at that time) it's presenting World Series previews. Tonight it takes a look at the Brooklyn Dodgers. September 10: That Martha Webster serial on CBS at 11:15 this morning is the story of Life Begins, under a new name. September 17: A welcome bit of melody in the midst of quiz programs is Johnny Presents, NBC-Red at 8:00. September 24: Last year's comedy sensation, Bob Hope, returns tonight at 10:00 on NBC-Red for another triumphant season of laughs. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: The Treasure Chest, starring Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights with Jean Forney, personality singer— on NBC-Red at 8:30 P.M., E.D.T., sponsored by Tums. Yes, this is another quiz program, but it's the only one on the air on which you can win romance as well as money. Steady Heidt fans for the last few years may remember a stunt he began when he was leading his bond in New York's Hotel Biltmore. It was called Answers from Dancers, and was originated long enough ago to be on the ground floor of the quiz craze. In it Horace would pick out dancing couples, bring a portable microphone within range of them, and ask them questions— the whole proceeding being broadcast. The Treasure Chest is Answers from Dancers adapted to a radio studio instead of a dance floor. Horace chooses couples from the studio audience. Each couple is handed a string attached to a bell, and Horace asks a question that can be answered with the name of a tune the orchestra ploys. As soon as the contestants think they have the right answer they pull the string and the bell rings, thus timing them. Six couples take port in each half-hour broadcast, each couple getting ten dollars for a correct answer — plus a grand prize of thirty dollars to the couple answering in the shortest time. Couples who miss the question altogether have to "walk the plank" — with the soundeffects man supplying the splash. Frequently Horace selects individuals instead of couples, pairing them and introducing them together on the air — and that's where romance comes in. Several times, since the show went on the air last June, these temporary studio pairings-off have continued outside the studio. No marriages yet, but things look promising. You'd enjoy meeting little Jean Forney, the newest and youngest member of the Heidt troupe. Jean is only sixteen, but the Treasure Chest engagement is the second one she's had with Horace. She joined the Musical Knights two years ago, but illness soon afterward forced her to leave the crew until a few weeks ago, when Horace, once more in the middle west, re-signed her. Jean is still in high school; but her work in Chicago with the Musical Knights takes her away from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, her home town, so she's taking a correspondence school course. Jean's very pretty, but too young to hove any serious romance, so all the boys in the band see to it that she's always properly chaperoned. As this story is written. The Treasure Chest and its companion program. Pot O' Gold, both come to you from Chicago; but the first cool days of fall will find the Heidt brigade returning to Horace's native California to appear in James Roosevelt's first major film production, called (oddly enough) "Pot O' Gold." 44 SAY HELLO TO . . . JANET LOGAN — the tiny, 95-pound bundle of talent who plays Helen Gowan Stephenson in the CBS Road of Life serial. Janet was born in Eldon, Missouri, and her family includes such distinguished ancestors as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Admiral Oliver H. Perry, and General Putnam. She won a beauty contest soon after graduating from high school, and it led her to a California stage production. She was acting in a Chicago showboat as Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl, when Rudy Vallee came along and hired the troupe for a guest appearance on his show. It was Janet's first crack at radio, and she gave up the stage. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIHROR
