We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
AUNT JENNY'S FAMILY ALBUM
Aunt Jenny is heard over CBS Radio, M-F, 2:45 P.M. EST, sponsored daily by Lever Brothers Co. (for Spry, Breeze, and Silver Dust) with Campbell Soup Company participating twice weekly (for Franco-American Food Products).
Littleton's "first lady" is justly proud of the stars her dramatic stories helped to create, over the years
For more than eighteen years, stories which pulsate with the heartbeat of life lured listeners as Aunt Jenny related the happenings around Littleton, U.S.A. ... so many listeners that, when she left the air last year, Lever Brothers — who sponsored her on CBS Radio since January 18, 1937 — were overwhelmed with pleas to bring Aunt Jenny back! Her return this January was a great New Year's gift, not only for audiences but for actors . . . because Aunt Jenny's honest, three-dimensional characters are a strong lure for performers, too. Only the best are chosen, whether already established or just starting on the road to fame. Pictured here are a mere handful of Aunt Jenny's noted alumni . . . graduates of a dramatic series which has always helped today's most promising players become tomorrow's big stars.
AGNES YOUNG
The modest, friendly woman who has one of radio's most coveted assignments, as Aunt Jenny herself, couldn't have been cast more "true to type" . . . Agnes Young is a small -town girl at heart who has always found that dramatic success and a happy family life can be very compatible indeed. Although her mother died when Agnes was four, there was love and understanding to spare, in the Port Jervis (NY.) home the little girl shared with her grandparents, two brothers and violin-teaching father — and they were all her most enthusiastic boosters when she chose acting as a career. . . . Agnes married actor producer Jimmy Wells in their early stock-company days, and they've since shared their mutual interest in drama, not only with each other, but with their daughter Nancy — now grown up into an attractive, talented actress who is frequently heard performing in Aunt Jenny!
