Tune-In Bulletin for February 28, March 6, 13. and 20! February 28: Today's a good listening day for sports addicts: Ted Husing summarizes the semi-finals of the National Indoor Tennis meet from Madison Square Garden over CBS . . . and Byron Field describes the Junior Championship horse race from Hialeah Park in Florida over Mutual at 4:15. March 6: Alma Kitchell's Streamline Journal is on Wednesdays now, at 1:30 over NBC-Blue. An especially good program for the feminine half of the country. March 13: Make this a comedy night — Amos V Andy or Easy Aces at 7:00, Lum and Abner at 7:15, Burns and Allen at 7:30, Al Pearce at 8:00, a little quiet conversation between 8:30 and 9:00, and Fred Allen from 9:00 to 10:00. March 20: Or for a musical night — Fred Waring at 7:00, Johnny Presents at 8:00, Avalon Time at 8:30 (only there's some comedy here too), and Kay Kyser or Glenn Miller at 10:00. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Al Pearce and His Gang, on CBS at 8:00 P.M., E.S.T., 7:00 C.S.T., 6:00 M.S.T., and 9:00 P.S.T.— sponsored by Dole Pineapple, and featuring Arlene Harris, Don Reid, Marie Green and her Merry Men, Carl Hoff and his orchestra, and frequent guest stars, besides Al himself. A few months ago Al Pearce celebrated his eleventh anniversary in radio. He's come a long way in those eleven years, and the 74-station CBS hookup that you hear him on now is a far cry from the "one-lung" station over which Al and his brother Cal used to present their comedy dialogue and songs. Al rehearses his program now, too, which is something he never used to do in the old days. He still likes to think of the sensation he caused when he first came to New York, after having been a popular listening attraction for several years on the Pacific Coast. He persuaded NBC to let him and his gang have a halfhour spot five afternoons a week, without a sponsor and with very little money. On the first day, he and the rest of the comedians and musicians in the gang walked into the studio a few minutes before the broadcast was scheduled to go on the air, and went ahead without any rehearsal at all. The folks around NBC were shocked and amazed. But what Al didn't tell them was that he and his cast had worked together so long, and so well, they could knock together an informal half-hour of fun without any trouble at all. A sponsored night-time show is a different matter, though, so the thirty minutes you're listening to are the result of a good week's work. Like Burns and Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, and a number of other radio companies, the Pearce Gang has settled down in Hollywood, lured there by the balmy (most of the time) climate and general ease of living. At his comfortable home, Al can indulge his hobby of raising prize-winning dogs, interspersed with a round of golf whenever he feels like playing. He has a big pine-paneled rumpus room in his house, with record-playing equipment installed, where all the members of the Gang can gather on Thursdays and listen to a play-back of the previous night's program. Wednesday night sees two broadcasts of Al's show — one at five, Hollywood time, for the Eastern and Central time zones, and another at nine for the Pacific and Mountain states. The first one is completely informal in dress, with the Gang wearing anything from business suits and frocks to slacks and sweaters. The second one, though, after dinner, is very fancy, with Arlene Harris and Marie Bell displaying their latest dinner gowns, and the men dolling up in dinner jackets. That is, all except Al himself, who invariably wears slacks and a sports jacket. SAY HELLO TO . . . BURNS MANTLE— the New York dramatic critic who introduces and narrates the dramatic half of tonight's Texaco Star Theater on CBS at 9:00. Burns is a national authority on the stage. Since 1919 he's selected a yearly group of ten "Best Plays" presented on the New York stage and published condensed versions of them in book form; and he's a walking encyclopedia of theatrical knowledge. He's never written a play himself, though. Burns lives in a suburb of New York City and commutes to begin his working day at five in the afternoon. Actors like him because he never shows off his wit by making fun of a play. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
