Tune-In Bulletin for September 26, October 3, 10, 17 and 24! September 26: Strange as it Seems, on CBS at 8:30 tonight, recently celebrated its first anniversary on the air — and still hasn't run out of fascinating and thrilling things to dramatize. October 3: Guy Lombardo's orchestra moves into the Roosevelt Hotel in New York tonight for an indefinite stay, and CBS will bring you its music from the dance-floor. October 10: The CBS School of the Air presents its first program in the series called "Tales from Far and Near," and the title of today's tale is "All Over Town." October 17: One program that never, never disappoints: The Aldrich Family, on NBC; Red tonight at 8:30. October 24: The American School of the Air's "Tales from Far and Near" offers "The Scarlet Fringe" — and many an adult will get just as much pleasure and instruction from listening as the youngsters do. ON THE AIR TODAY: Beyond These Valleys, a new romantic serial heard on CBS at 5:15, E.S.T., sponsored by Gold Medal Flour. Actors are like children — they love to make believe. That's why they're actors, of course. And because they love to make believe they adore a ploy which gives them roles into which they can sink their personalities — roles which are complex, demanding and well provided with big scenes. A visit to a broadcast of Beyond These Valleys shows you that here is a play full of such roles. Don Becker, who writes Beyond These Valleys (and also composed its haunting theme song), is one of the new style of radio-writers who take their work seriously. He likes to get his characters' thoughts on the air, and goes in for tricky psychological devices to do so. This doesn't mean that Beyond These Valleys lacks a good plot and plenty of action. But more and more, writers for the air are trying to create real people. Listeners should be grateful, and actors certainly are. Everyone in the Beyond These Valleys cast says enthusiastically what a "beautiful" show it is (that's the actor's word for anything he likes.) Basil Loughrane, who directs the program, is very intense about his job, and works like a demon to make perfect the quarter-hour to which you listen so casually. He signals the musician at the Novachord with gestures like those of a symphony orchestra conductor, worries over intona II IBS ityl 50 tions, and personally experiences all the emotions the members of the cast are called on to portray. He's a very conscientious and sincere worker, and his one desire is to create a picture in your mind as you listen. Beyond These Valleys enjoys the services of one of CBS's two feminine production "men," a pretty brunette named Dorothy Mallinson. A production man's duty is to take charge of a program in behalf of the network — watch the timing, be sure station breaks are delivered on the dot, calm temperamental outbursts, and in general be johnny-on-the-spot in case of necessity. If a microphone suddenly goes dead, it's also the production man's duty to put a new one in place — sometimes a second's notice, if the show is on the air. Until Betzy Tuthill, CBS' other girl production man, and Dorothy came along, it had always been considered purely a man's job. Dorothy, in addition to carrying out all her other tasks efficiently, did something for Beyond These Valleys that no man could have done. They were looking for a man with a romantic voice to play the part of Riggs Logan. Dozens of radio actors were auditioned, but none were quite right. Dorothy, turning on her radio one night, heard the voice of announcer Nelson Case, and knew he was exactly the man they were looking for. \ The heroine of Beyond These Valleys is Rebecca Lane, who is played by Gertrude Warner. Gertrude is 23, and this is her first starring role. SAY HELLO TO . . . FRANK DANE — one of those versatile actors whom you'll probably hear a couple of times today without knowing it. On Arnold Grimm's Daughter he plays Jim Kent, and on The Story of Mary Marlin he's "Never-Fail" Hendricks. Frank is Danish, but come to America as a child. He says that his biggest handicap as an actor has been learning Eng I; lish and getting rid of his Danish accent. He began his career on the stage, and still is enough of a stage actor to have one important mannerism in front of the mike — he always needs enough room to swing his arms. He made his network debut in 1928 and has been on the air ever since. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
