Tune-In Bulletin for December 28, January 4, 11, 18 and 25! December 28: The Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand — which is another way of saying that the CBS Americans at Work program, at 10:30 tonight, dramatizes the work of the U. S. Marines. January 4: The Green Hornet, mystery thriller, is on NBC-Blue now, with an installment tonight and another one Saturday night. If you like excitement, don't miss it. January I I: Tonight's your last chance to hear Henry Busse's orchestra playing over CBS. He closes tonight at the Netherland Plaza in Cincinnati. January 18: One of those unpredictable Columbia Workshop Plays is on CBS tonight at 10:00. Unpredictable because it might be wonderful and it might be terrible — why don't you listen in and see? January 25: Those We Love, on NBC-Red at 8:30, is gathering more listeners every week for its good acting, good writing, and generally human qualities. Your Studio Snooper thinks you'll like it. ON THE AIR TODAY: The O'Neills, sponsored by Procter and Gamble Co., heard today and every day except Saturday and Sunday at 12:15 P.M., E.S.T., over NBCRed. Tune in The O'Neills, and it's like dropping into any American family circle — because The O'Neills is the story of an American family and its friends. It's been on the air for almost six years, and is still one of the most popular of daily serials. The author of The O'Neills is big, jolly Jane West. She also plays the part of Mrs. Trudy Bailey on her program, and has done so ever since it first went on the air. She didn't have an easy time selling her idea for a family serial, because in those days it was considered too large a slice of real life, and too lacking in glamorous romance, to put on the air. Jane argued, however, that everybody likes to know everybody else's business, and that this curiosity couldn't help but make housewives tune in a story about an ordinary family. She gets her material for The O'Neills from actual happenings in real life — in fact, when Peggy O'Neill Kayden had a baby, she had twins — and Miss West herself is the mother of twins. The twins are played on the air by Janice Gilbert, who also is heard as Janice Collins. Janice is another of radio's few baby-specialists, although that's a small part of her versatility. She isn't sixteen yet, but she plays various young-girl roles, from babies to debutantes, and is also an accomplished dialect artist. She looks more of a grown-up young lady than she really is, with her brown curly hair, grayblue eyes and fair complexion. Mother O'Neill is Kate McComb, a stately, white-haired veteran of the stage and radio. Nothing thrills Kate more than having parents write to her that their own children have become more considerate and affectionate after they've listened to her kindly philosophy on the air. Young Danny O'Neill is played by Jimmy Tansey, who is as Irish-American as his air character, and who has been on the stage since he was eight. Traveling around the country with his mother in a stock company, he managed to attend twenty-three schools in fifteen states before he completed his education. The other regular members of the long cast are Claire Niessen as Peggy O'Neill Kayden; Chester Stratton as Monte Kayden; Jimmy Donnelly as Eddie Collins; Jack Rubin as Morris Levy; Helen Claire as Sally Scott; Linda Carlon as Mrs. Scott; David Gothard as Bruce King; Selena Royle as Joan; Arline Blackburn as Eileen Turner, and Roy Fant as Grandpa Hubbell. And the theme song, in case you hadn't already recognized it, is the Londonderry Air (Danny Boy), played by organist William Meeder. 48 SAY HELLO TO . . . CHARLES CARROLL— Or Dr. Tubby Scott in Valiant Lady, on NBC-Red at 2:30 this afternoon. Charles probably would be a musician today, except that despite five years of studying the saxophone he never learned how to play popular music — and there isn't much of a living in the saxophone if you limit yourself to the classical kind of music. Charles is six feet tall, and is too superstitious to whistle in a dressing room. He's acted on the stage, and back in 1930 and 1932 he made a couple of trips from Seattle to the Panama Canal on freight vessels, just to see how much he liked traveling on the ocean.
