I',S Bob Rlploy NBC-Red: Behind the Headlines FRIDAY'S HIGHLIGHTS ■ Josef Marais leads his orchestra and singers in Veld songs. Tune-In Bulletin for March 1, 8, 15 and 22! March I: What's My Name? — the quiz program starring Budd Hulick and Arlene Francis (if she's clear of her stage engagements by now) is heard tonight at a new time, 9:30, instead of 7:00 on Saturdays. . . . From Madison Square Garden, NBC broadcasts a heavyweight boxing match between Bob Pastor and Lee Savold. March 8: Larry Clinton's orchestra opens tonight at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, broadcasting over NBC by remote control. March 15: Still another quiz program has hit the air — called This Amazing America, all its questions are about our own country. Bob Brown is master of ceremonies, and you can hear it on NBC-Blue tonight at 8:00. March 22: After a brief tour of one-night stands, Jan Savitt's hot band is opening again tonight at the Lincoln Hotel in New York. It broadcasts over NBC. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Josef Marais and his Bushveld Singers in Sundown on the Veld, on NBC-Blue from 7:00 to 7:30. Unless you're a dial-explorer, and like to hunt around for programs that aren't ballyhooed, it's crackers to kilocycles you've missed this — one of Friday night's most thoroughly enjoyable shows. For thirty minutes Josef Marais and his companions, in the characters of typical South African farmers, talk about Africa and sing traditional African songs, with now and then a little-known song of some other country thrown in. If you want to know what life is like on the African Veld (a country something like our mid-western prairie, only wilder) you can listen to the conversation. If you don't care about that, be sure to listen to the songs anyway. Josef Marais is a small, dark, energetic little man in his early thirties. He was born in the Karoon, a 100,000 square mile plateau in South Africa, and all his life he's made a hobby of collecting the traditional songs of that and other countries. When he and his friends sing them tonight on NBC, you'll find that they're a lot like our own hill-billy melodies — simple and catchy. When he was a boy Josef used to commute once a week to Cape Town, a five-hour journey, to take violin lessons, and he made his first trip to England as a member of the Cape Town Symphony. He's been in America only since last August, but he's already applied for his first citizenship papers. He still bubbles with enthusiasm when he remembers how willing America radio officials were to listen to his idea for putting African music on the air. "That's a wonderful thing about America," he says. "Americans will always listen to what you've got to say. They may kick you out of the office afterwards, but they'll always listen." NBC listened, and didn't kick him out, but gave him fifteen minutes, once a week, to sing his songs. Audience response was so great that soon afterwards his fifteen minutes were increased to thirty. Josef sings, talks, plays the violin, and directs the six-piece orchestra on his program, besides providing the music from his inexhaustible list of songs and giving writer Charles Newton the factual material about Africa for the scripts. All the music is carefully orchestrated to hide the nature of the instruments in the orchestra, and Josef gets very secretive when you ask him what they are. Your snooper can tell you, though, that there's a piano (even if you don't hear it), a guitar, a clarinet or saxophone, cello, bassviol, and a violin, when Joseph has time to play it. Burford Hampden, Charles Slattery, and Juano Hernandez, who play the parts of Paul, Rhino, and Koos in the scripts, don't really do any singing — that department is taken care of by three members of the Showman Quartet plus Josef supplying the baritone. For avid Marais fans, an album of his music has just been recorded by Decca. 52 SAY HELLO TO . . . JEANETTE NOLAN — who left radio once but has now returned to it, and is heard in today's episode of Aunt Jenny's Stories on CBS at 11:45, as well as on the NBC Cavalcade of America, Tuesday nights, and various other dramatic programs. With her husband, John Mclntire (he's a radio actor too) Jeanette retired from radio three years ago and went to a cabin in the valley of the Yaak River, in Montana, a hundred miles south of the Canadian border. Every December until May they were snowed in, and they were fourteen miles from the nearest settlement. Now they're back in civilization, at their microphone jobs. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
