IDOL off the LASSES i Lounsbury, Teens' Dreamboy, Finds Success Expensive Passers-by on Michigan Ave. have probably been wondering for months now what causes those mobs of teen¬ agers to mill (as only teen-agers can mill) about the WGN-TV building each weekday afternoon. It’s more than the potent appeal of TV itself. The reason is a lad named Jim Lounsbury. WGN-TV (Channel 9) has been pro¬ viding bobby soxers and their escorts with an irresistible entree to TV through a new show called Bandstand Matinee. Jim is the show’s handsome emcee. Sub-titled a “disc-dance party,” it’s an hour-long (4 to 5 P.M.) session of lively pop music on records. Also featured are celebrity interviews, games, dancing by the kids and pleasant d.j. chatter. Lounsbury’s masculine good looks are Exhibit A explaining why junior misses in vast numbers are Bandstand devotees. Big and broad-shouldered, Smiling Jim and wife Penny leaf through letters from adolescent admirers during an evening at home.
