October 3: The Inside Story has its last broadcast tonight — NBC-Blue at 8:00 — and it's too bad it has to leave. . . . Joe Sudly's Orchestra opens tonight at the Belmont Plaza Hotel, and you can listen on NBC. October 10: Remember to hear Fulton Oursler's arresting comments on current history on True Story Time, NBC-Blue at 9:30. October 17: Blue Baron's orchestra opens tonight at the Edison Hotel in New York for a full winter season. You'll hear him on NBC six nights a week from now on. October 24: Feel in the mood for some Hollywood gossip and a review of the new pictures? Tune in Jimmie Fidler on CBS at 7:15. can tell themselves they'd never make mistakes like that. Yet once, when the program offered prizes to listeners for identifying boners and sending in the correct versions, all sorts of answers were received. For instance, Jane would say, "Here's the whole thing in a shell-hole," and listeners would correct it to "knot-hole" or "eggshell." Ouick — what's the correct word?* Goodman writes all the scripts himself, and directs them too. He makes it a rule to hold only one rehearsal before a broadcast, because too many of them take away spontaneity, he says. Goodman is 39, Jane is 33. They are never seen in night clubs; in fact, have a passion for being anonymous. Goodman's list of "nevers" of which he is quite proud, includes: Never have been stopped for an autograph, never have had a script returned for changes, never have changed announcers since their NBC debut (Ford Bond has been announcing for them since February, 1935), never have won a radio popularity poll. In fact, on every anniversary of their first program the Aces publish an ad in a trade paper spoofing their lack of high popularity rating. The other members of the Aces cast, like their bosses, are pretty retiring and anonymous, but your Studio Snooper found out their names just the same. Marge is played by Mary Hunter, Betty by Ethel Blume, Carl by Albert Ryder, and Neil Williams by Martin Gabel. Nutshell* ON THE AIR TONIGHT and every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night: The Easy Aces, starring Jane and Goodman Ace, on NBC's Blue network at 7:00, Eastern Standard Time, sponsored by Anacin. There isn't another program on the air like this one. Last August I it had been coming to you for nine consecutive years, and it will continue for at least two more, according to a contract the Aces signed with their sponsor this summer. And in all those nine years the Aces have never met the gentlemen who send them their weekly pay-checks. Just never happened to get together, somehow. Jane isn't really as dumb as she sounds on the air. Outside of bridge games, she's a very smart sort of person. But when the Aces started their air series they built the story around an actual bridge game in which Jane, much to her own despair, was her husband's partner. "Don't finesse," she'd tell Ace. "It makes me nervous." One of her bridge rules, by her own admission, was always to lead with the first card on the right of her hand, because it was easier that way. Much more famous than her bridge mistakes now, are Jane's desperate tussles with the English language. Here are a few of her prize remarks: "Time wounds all heels." "Familiarity breeds attempts." "I slept like a cop." "I'm no shrieking violet." "He lives by the sweat of his frau." "It's the gossip truth." Goodman says the reason listeners like these boners is that they 46 SAY HELLO TO . . .
