ON THE AIR TODAY: Hilda Hope, M.D., on NBC-Red at 11:30 A.M., E.S.T., starring Selena Royle and sponsored by Wheatena. ' If you've read the story about Hilda Hope, M.D., on page 14 of this issue (and you really should; it's exciting and dramatic) you'll want to know something about the charming actress who plays Hilda — Miss Selena Royle. Selena, one of the great names of the Broadway stage for several years, has now become radio's busiest actress. She leaves her comfortable apartment, just off Fifth Avenue, at 8:30 every, morning except Sunday and doesn't return to it until 6:30 that evening. That's ten hours of being on the go, and it represents real work — such real work that you wonder how the slim, perfectly groomed young woman with ashblonde hair emerges from it so unruffled and cheerful. First on her week-day schedule is Woman of Courage, in which she plays Martha Jackson, ■ on CBS at 9:00, followed by a rebroadcast of the same program at 10:15. Then, at 11:30, she's due at NBC for the role of Mrs. Allen in Against the Storm, followed by The O'Neills, in which she plays Joan, at 12:15. A hurried lunch is followed usually by a Betty and Bob broadcast at 2:00, playing Mrs. Gardner. Afternoons are filled up by rehearsals, or perhaps a part in some other serial — a part that may run a day or a week or even a month. And on Saturdays, of course, there is Hilda Hope, the role in which you'll hear her this morning. She hasn't appeared on the stage for several years, and when asked if she intends to return to the theater just shrugs and says, "I'd like to, if I could find a play. My regular work all comes in the morning, so I could go on with it and be in a play too. But I went to several first nights this season, and all I could say was, 'Thank Heavens for radio!' " Selena is the only member of the Hilda Hope cast who stays on the show week after week, but Nelson Case has a regular assignment as the announcer. Nelson is one of the tallest, one of the handsomest and one of the most versatile of NBC's announcing staff. He got himself a radio job, singing baritone solos, while he was still a high-school boy in Long Beach, California. He's been with NBC since 1934, is married and has two children, and likes to write fiction and compose music as a hobby. SAY HELLO TO . . . DAN SEYMOUR — announcer on Milton Berle's Stop Me if You've Heard This One program, on NBC-Red at 8:30 tonight. Dan lost no time after receiving his B.A. degree from Amherst in getting a job in radio — in fact, it was the day after he graduated. For a year, in Boston, he announced everything from street interviews to operas, then came to New York and was successful in breaking into network announcing. While he was still in college, he fell in love and got married, and now is the father of two children. Dan and his family live in Great Neck, Long Island, and he commutes daily to his work in New York. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
