put us in touch with the people we hear so that I feel they are my friends instead of just mythical persons.

Next, I would like to add my word to the many I have heard from about unfortunate overlapping of outstanding programs -"Gildersleeve," "Dr. Christian," "Lux," "Screen Guild," "Carnation" and Victor Borge all seem to come together, to mention a few ...The sponsors do want us to listen and there seem to be a num- ber of vacant periods between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. where there could be some of the good programs worked in. Thank you for the chance to express a hope.

Jessie Campbell, 471 South El Molino, Pasadena, Calif. Sirs: Your comments on "blu -ish"

lines in "Radio Lifelines" meets with my hearty approval.

While I have my "pen in hand" will speak a few of my annoyances in regard to programs -especially the audience applause which some- times seems unrelated to anything the listener can hear. Last night when Bing Crosby's new show came on, after we have been repeatedly told that it was entirely transcribed, there was much audience applause. Was that transcribed, too?

I miss Mirandy's garden advice now that she appears but once a week.

The "Bing Crosby Show" is transcribed with an audience present. Their laughter lurid applause goes right on the record. Seems to us at one time Ring kept his audience in check with an iron hand -absolutely no applause, and we never even missed it.

J. S. Ambrose, 1068 East Providencia, Bur- bank, Calif. Sirs: As you requested an opinion:

"We favor record music." Yes, this includes Bing.

Pete Vega, 25 West Pearl Avenue, Red- lands, Calif. Sirs: As a steady radio listener and

reader of Radio Life, I came to the letter that says Johnny Mercer can not sing. He is one of my favorites. I think he is one of the top singers!

Thal lies up the argument -il's now three pro -Mercer -Carmichael singing and three anti -Mercer- Carmichael. (We're on the side of the pro's.) *

James Wahlstrom, 1335 North Citrus Ave- nue, Hollywood, Calif. Sirs: On the Victor Borge and

Benny Goodman show, I should think that Victor should get more of a chance to display h i s marvelous talent on the piano. He only plays one piece on each show and on his show last year he played three or four pieces, I enjoy his comedy, too, but I would like to hear more

With two such high- powered talents as Victor and Benny on one show. we itoal(In'I know how to arrange the time, e en if we could. We'll never heur rough of both.

Helen Nemic, 3936 Maratson Street, Los Angeles, Calif. Sirs: . Who is the actor who

portrays "Pat Novak" on ABC's program Sunday evening (8:00 p.m.)

"Pat Novak for H i r e ?" Also what does he look like, how old is he and where is he? If his looks match his voice, Oh boy! Many of my friends who listen to "Pat Novak" and also read your magazine would

like this information too. Why hasn't his name been an-

nounced over the air? Surely ABC must know a voice like his is going to get plenty of raves, especially from the women.

Elsie Alden, 3938 Marathon Street, Los Angeles, Calif. Sirs: Please let us know something

about the "Pat Novak for Hire" program . Who plays "Pat Novak ?" Is he old or young? Is he in the movies? What does he look like? Anyway, he sure has some voice. It isn't Orson Welles, is it? Maybe that's why no one knows his name.

"Par" is played by Jack Webb. lie's young ... he's in San Francisco and he isn't Orson Writes. Why don't you write to him care of KEC.4? Looks us if he has a neighborhood !arc club.

* Mrs. Rebecca Epstein, 3400 Wilshire Boule-

vard, Los Angeles 6, Calif. Sirs: How can anyone object to the

practice of giving participants on quiz shows nylon s, Snowdrift or tires? What possible effect would those few scarce items have on the overall shortage? In my opinion, those courageous contestants who face microphones and give us these delightful unrehearsed programs ase not only entitled to such delicacies but should receive amounts as big as those guest movie stars who

Los Angeles 43, Calif. Sirs: Why only fifteen minutes a

week of Jean Sablon? Let's have some more of him, lots more! How

are chances for a full article about him and lots and lots of pictures?

Would you please print pictures of Harry Bartel, Carleton Yo u n g, Sydney Smith and the "Sheriff," B o b Hague?

Last, but not least, what has become of "The Man from G -2 ?" The same man now plays "Sam Spade" -what is his name and what does he look like?

Requests noted. We'd like more of Sablon, loo. Incidentally, he's made some wonderful phonograph records. too. Howard Duff plays "Spade," and here he is. *

Joyas Cresson, Mary Stainer, 612 Sonde Chapel Avenge, Alhambra, Calif. Sirs: Would you please put a pic-

ture of Eddy Howard a n d "The Whistler" in Radio Life? Please put "The Whistler's" real name.

. . . We disagree with those who say that Johnny Mercer sounds awful. We think he can really sing "Ugly Child." Also "It Pays to Be Ignorant" is corn y. But Johnny Mercer is in the groove. But def.

Mercer fans have certainly come to his defense -for which, hooray.' We'll have to wait till Eddy Howard is on a regular broadcast before covering him. Also, the "Whistler" is a secret -even from us. As for "It Pays to Re Ignorant" -isn't it SUPPOSED l) to be corny?

* Mary F. Sonanklar, I SSS North Cherokee,

Hollywood 211, Calif. Sirs: Please tell me, how does

your "Radio in Review" editor manage to listen to both Fred Beck and Fred Waring as mentioned in the October 20th and 27th issues? It's a good trick -and I'd like to do it!

No trick al all - two DIFFERENT staff members. One's a Waring fan and the other's a Heck fan. Every morning when. they come in, one says to the other, "Hear Fred Heck this morning?- Ile was a panic." The other says, "No. I was listening to Fred Waring. Let me tell you what they played ..." Then one goes through Waring's arrangements while the other tries to shout her clown rvith R-ek anecdotes. So far, it's a lie. We NEED a good trick! *

Margaret Callander, 1805 North Harvard Boulevard, Hollywood 27, Calif. Sirs: Could you please print some

pictures and a story about "Joan" on "One Man's Family ?" Could you possibly get me some scripts of C"F Rae6 a w,rC.

"Joan's'-r" what has happened to "Irene ?"

"Irene" in "One Man's Family" died -In the script, that is. In real life Janet ( "Irene ") Waldo is fine. Mary Lou Har- rington plays "Joan" on the "Family." We'll keep your request about her In mind. Sorry, we can't help you on the scripts.

C. tassel, 394 Marathon Street, Los An- geles, Calif. Sirs: Have been hoping every week

your magazine would give some information as to w h o plays "Pat Novak" on the American Broadcast- ing Company program, "Pat Novak for Hire," 8:00 p.m. Sundays.

* * DRESSING THE PART

Cast members on the CBS "Hawk Larabee" western dramas have dreamed up their own atmospheric inspiration. Everybody, including producer Bill Robson, shows up for the airshow decked out in the bright- est of cowboy shirts.

HOLE -IN -ONE Bob Jellison, featured player on

Jack Haley's NBC program, "Village Store," cemented his membership in the "Hole -in -One" club when he recently made his third one -swing shot. Jellison had previously made two hole -in -one shots on an eastern course. *

ROYAL FAMILY NBC could call itself the "Net-

work of the Royal Family of Radio." There are ten "kings" currently on the air for NBC -the King's Men (4), the King Cole Trio (3), the Kingfish, the King of the Cowboys (Roy Rogers) and the King of Swing (Benny Goodman). *

FOUR UllARACTER.. (All Men) Made Bold to Put on a Show Called "Ladies' Day ", Which, We Reluctantly Report, Has Gone Over Big With the Little Worn

STULLA INVITES LADY LISTENERS to "come on down and bring the kiddies" -an unusual invitation for most shows.

Here Stulla talks to contestant Mrs. Dolly Hoisted while he holds her small son.

"AUNT MARY'S AUNT MARY" is portrayed on "Ladies' Day" by Bob Mitchell. But just to prove she's not purely

a figment of imagination, she is shown here being presented with a corsage by Bill Stulla as Nephew Bob smiles amiably.

leste and back to the organ many times during the show, but a false note is a rarity.

question. Now, you may wonder what all

this is leading up to. It's this. KFI offers a program each morning, called "Ladies' Day " -three -quarters of an hour of just plain good enter- tainment. The show is written by Bill Stulla, who also acts as host and emcee.

Bill is a happy character with soft brown eyes and a cheerful disposi- tion that he's willing to share with everyone. He pokes a little fun at men in general and a lot at himself, much to the gals' delight. On the musical portion of the show you'll find three amiable fellow s-Bob Mitchell, Bill Shirley, and the newest member of the cast, Sidney "Buddy" Jobe. Mitchell, founder of the famed Mitchell "Boychoir," offers, each day, a piano solo and several selections on the electric organ, of which he is a master. As if this weren't enough, he also adds many a bright quip to the dialogue.

Versatile Bill Shirley, handsome young

THEIR NOGGINS BOLSTERING such apro- pos books as "Thesaurus of Humor ", "Try and Stop Me ", and "2500 Jokes ", Steve

Babes in the Comedy Woods, Allen & Noble, Finding Way

By Val Valentine

:Monday- Friday. 11:15 a.m. MUS- KIIJ -K VOE- KGB -REAM

VER since the morning two years ago when West Coast dialers were introduced to a pair of madmen with a new approach to radio comedy,

there have been those who have followed the course of these two new- comers with a loving and faithful eye. For, scarcely had Steve Allen and Wendell Noble introduced their "Smile Time" show on the Don Lee net when hundreds of fans began flocking to their mail -boxes to reg- ister whole - hearted approval of such features as the "Nitwit Network."

This stout and ever -growing band of followers has cheered in rapid progression the first time -change that brought "Smile Time" from the early morning to a mid -day broadcast spot, the s h o w's graduation from Don Lee to coast -to -coast re- lease, and now the new opportunity accorded Allen and Noble on their soon -to -be -heard night -time show.

Any regular "Smile Time" fan can give you a score of reasons for the steady climb to success of two com- parative babes -in- the - comedy - woods, Page Eight

. ..--

but probably only the most discern- ing listener would be able to inform you that Steve Allen and Wendell Noble got where they are by a rare combination of talent and hard work.

The boys themselves are the first to admit this. They shy away from any discussion of their talent, but they'll talk for hours about how over- worked they are, and when you listen to their story, it's hard to disagree with them.

Closed Corporation "Look at your average radio

comic," says tall, nervous Steve Allen, who does most of the writing for the team. "He has four other guys turning out the material that makes him funny, a producer to worry about details, a flock of musicians, singers, and an agent or two to see that all goes well. All well and good, but the guy can't really claim he's over- worked. Now you take Noble and Allen. They also have two writers

working for them; a couple of guys named Noble and Allen, turning out scripts five days a week. Then they have a nice singer (a fella named Noble) and a piano player by the name of Allen. When they needed a theme song for the "Smile Time" show, by the way, a composer known as Steve Allen was called in for the job. Rather than hold auditions to select actors for the roles of 'Manuel Labor' and 'Homey Hasenpffeffer,' two walk -on characters, we just as- signed a couple of performers known as Allen and Noble to the job."

From all this you get some idea of the versatility of Mutual's young problem -children, but even here, there's more than meets the eye. Aside from his duties as funnyman, Wendell performs creditably on other radio shows in straight dramatic roles, and can play a mean sax and clarinet, while his surprising partner

Hurrah For Henry We found ourselves involuntarily

shuddering when we tuned in to ABC's Henry Morgan show last Wednesday (9:30 p.m.) and heard the announcement that Dana An- drews would appear as the show's "guest star." "Awwwww," we found ourselves muttering disappointedly, "has Henry 'gone Hollywood' on us- having 'guest stars' on his show ?"

But we needn't have had any fears. Morgan is still Morgan.

At regular intervals during the show, he reminded his listeners: "Our guest star tonight is Dana An- drews -later in the program." This went on until there was but a moment left of the show, and Henry made the announcement once more, this time in the form of an actual introduction, following which, Mor- gan said, "Hello, Dana." To this, "guest star" Andrews replied, "Hello, Henry." And that was all!

Morgan made one more announcement a few seconds later. It was: "Ladies and gentlemen. the part of Dana Andrews tonight was played by -Dana Andrews."

With all due respect to Mr. An- drews-in fact, with a bow to him for joining in this happy fiasco - we shout huzzahs again for Henry!

Potter's Platter Poll As Potter goes -so goes the nation.

If that is true, here is an indication of what's tops on platters. It's the result of the 1946 poll that Peter has been conducting. Top band, Stan Kenton. Most promising band, Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller aggre- gation. Top male v o c a 1 is t, Frank Sinatra. Top female ditto, Margaret Whiting. Top vocal group, The Pied Pipers (you mean Jack Benny's quartet lost, Pete ?) Top small instru- mental group, The King Cole Trio. Top male novelty vocalist, Johnny Mercer. Top female n. v., Betty Hut- ton. Top song for 1946, "They Say It's Wonderful."

Sinatra, Whiting, the Pipers and the Cole Trio are all radio favorites, of course, and the rest have all been heard via the air.

By V.IRC1N1A WEST It's the season of the year when Saturday mornings mean Metropolitan

Opera to thousands of fans across the nation. And in Southern California, KECA -ABC present this world renowned opera series, under sponsorship of The Texas Company, for the sixth consecutive season. Starting at 11 o'clock in the morning, the "Met's" program includes an outstanding array of talent, and the best loved operas in the world.

In the lineup of operas for the season are included the six works chosen by you, the radio audience, in the popular voting last spring. From the list of rep- ertoire operas, your choice includes "Aida ", "Carmen ", and "La Traviata"; and from the list of works occasionally heard, popular choice includes "Hansel and Gretel", "Der Rosenkavalier", and "Boris Godonoff."

Another important program in quite another field, presented by ABC -KECA in the public interest is the Sunday afternoon (1 p.m.) dramatic series dealing with juvenile delinquency, titled "Are These Our Children ". Based on findings of the "We The Guilty" panel of discussions heard over the network during the rummer, the frank and outspoken dramas are written by Richard Breen and di rected by Blue Wright in San Francisco. Listen some Sunday afternoon . . . We guarantee the plays will make you think!

new to add to the well -established reputation of "Fibber and Molly." We still miss "Beulah" after all this time, but Arthur Q. Bryan as "Doc Gamble," Bill Thompson as the "Old Timer" and Gale Gordon as "La- Trivia" still amuse us. Music man Billy Mills and announcer Harlow Wilcox still do their jobs effectively. Writers Don Quinn and Phil Leslie are still turning out good scripts.

"Fibber and Molly" have been around so long, now, that it's possible you've tired of them and have taken them for granted. If that's true, take a vacation from them for a while (let's hope it's not the night Mr. Hooper calls you to check on their rating!) You'll come back to their program newly charmed by their folksy ways and family humor.

They may not have the freshness that was once theirs, hut they're still fine troupers.

Date With Judy Occupying a choice page in our

mental album of special radio friends -like the Barbours, Vic and Sade and the Easy Aces, for in- stance-is the Foster family, heard weekly (NBC, Tuesday, 5:30 p.m.) on "A Date with Judy."

The p r o g r a m's teen -age heroine, enchantingly portrayed by youthful radio veteran Louise Erickson, is the feminine counterpart of radio's most famous teen -age h e r o, "Henry Al- drich." Like "Henry," "Judy" is an irrepressible, entertaining and thor- oughly charming replica of today's typical teen -ager. Where "Henry's" chief concern is girls, "Judy's" is boys. Where "Henry's" home -life re- volves around three delightful family members -mother, father and sister, "Judy's" family is likewise corn - posed of three delightful people -an indulgent mother (Myra Marsh), a harrassed father (John Brown) and a caustic - tongued twelve - year old brother.

To be credited equally are writer Aileen Leslie for her sparkling happy dialogue, and the show's cast members whose long years at the microphone enable each of them to make the most of his Foster family characterization. Sandra Gould as "Mitzi" and Dick Crenna as "Oogie" also capably contribute to the half- hour of amusing goings -on. Hal Borne conducts the musical accompaniment to the proceedings, and Doug Gourlay delivers the commer- cials in a pleasant, unobtrusive manner. Helen Mack directs the entire production with her customary com- petency and is responsible to a con- siderable extent for the program's consistently good quality.

trend, and if you've been missing his 10:05 a.m. broadcast on KMPC, one hearing will convince you that you've found a radio friend.

Bill has a nice voice and, if he wanted to, could probably be a stuffy big -name announcer on the networks. His amizitions lie in other directions, however. He's out to ex- tract the starch from commercial radio. He gives you the commer- cials on his program in his own words, and Leyden's words are much more to the point than the usual apoplectic announcements that punc- tuate many record sessions.

His taste in records is good, and his comments on them, whether humorous or informative, are pertinent.

We've heard many fans liken Bill to ABC's whirlwind. Henry Morgan. Maybe -but Bill's a little kinder than Morgan. He makes the listener feel like a friend, not the other half of a duel of wits. Many times lately we've heard the comment. "Yeah, Morgan's wonderful all right -but say, have you heard this guy Ley- den?"

There's only one thing we have against Bill -we keep running into him in Thrifty's and he never says "hello." Of course, we've never met him -but we know who he is.

Plabacks coritiea' Y Comment )

Red Skelton There are two things we have

against the opening of the Red Skel- ton show (NBC, Tuesday, 7:30 p.m.) -the comedian's "gag" monologue and the current "903" stunt. The former doesn't last very long, for- tunately, but the latter continues throughout the whole show. We hope it isn't intended to extend the entire season! Repetition, whether it be Luckies' "LSMFT" or Raleigh's "903 ", is grating on our ears -and our curiosity is far outdistanced by our annoyance.

The "903" girl's voice, on the Skel- ton show, is pleasant enough, in a sultry way, to be put to a more satis- fying and demanding use than the infantile chore which has given it birth.

As for Skelton's comedy monologue, it isn't anything that we have against Red. His material is equal to that monologued by any other air funster, and his delivery better than some. It's just that we are seldom very amused by a comedian's "gag"

FOR CHRISTMAS If you're pondering on the per-

fect Rift for special friends, don't overlook our Christmas Gift subscriptions to Radio Life. If your friends are the least bit radio - minded, the regular arrival of etherdo'n's only news -weekly magazine, containing intimate glimpses of stars and complete program information, is certain to be a welcome delight -and a gift from you which will last all year round!

monologue. We like It much better when the gagster delivers his laughs amid situations and "straight men."

That's why we settle back and really begin to enjoy the Skelton show after its opening is over. Everything else; we like: the comedy skits, scripted by Edna Skelton, John Murray and Ben Freedman, and starring Red in any one of his half -dozen crazy characterizations (Junior, the Mean Wittle Kid; Clem Kadiddlehopper; Willie Lump -Lump; Bolivar Shagnasty; Dead - Eye; J. Newton Numbskull) ; the skillful support of such radio veterans as Verna Felton, GeGe Pearson, and Pat McGeehan; the wistful comedy and resonant voice of wonderful Wonderful Smith; the "effects" sup- plied by soundmen Jack Robinson and Fred Cole; the music of David Forester, the singing of Anita Ellis and the announcing by Red O'Con- nor.

We also are always pleasantly sur- prised when Skelton and company present such serious and semi -serious pieces as "Junior's" recent visit to Storkland. With these, Red proves himself an effective scripter, as he pens these more somber sessions himself.

As long as all of the above are prominently on display on the Skel- ton show, "903" notwithstanding, we'll continue to dial 640 at 7:30.

suddenly dawned on us that we were listening to a French aria. We then checked back to the beginning of the program, and as close as we can figure, it opened with a German song, then a Viennese waltz, followed by an Irish ballad, an English popular song and the French oper- atic aria. Oh, yes, the American tunesmiths squeezed in for two num- bers.

Maybe the "American Album" people figure that good American music is like good Americans -a composite of foreign elements.

Discer Deluxe Station KFWB tendered a party

last week welcoming New York's most famous disc jockey, Martin Block, back to home base in Holly- wood. It's a case of "California Here I Come" for Block, who got his initial break on the Warner Brothers station years ago.

Though no definite date has been set for Block's opening show, we understand it's still very much in the future, probably in April. This time he'll spin discs in true glory. A complete little studio is being in- stalled in his Encino home and he'll be able to make with the music without setting foot away from home. Radio or no radio, Martin's glad to be back in California.

Attractive Mrs. Martin Block is the person who's had the strangest welcome to the sunshine state that we've ever heard about. It seems she arrived shortly before Martin did in order to get the house in order. She hadn't been in the house long enough to unpack when a man knocked on her door and informed her that the men were ready to pick up the grapes from the vineyard on the estate. Mrs. Block donned her denims, called a couple of friends to her aid and spent the whole day picking grapes! Those city folks are on their toes!

Oldies and Goodies In a recent article on Andy Mans-

field, who plays those Wonderful old records from his own collection on station KWKW, a Radio Life scribe wrote that Andy owned eighty Crosby and Whiteman records. There was a miscount somewhere, as Andy informs us that he has three hun- dred and fifty of them altogether!

Incidentally, Andy's gotten so many people interested in collecting vintage records now, that they won't buy a new record unless it's old. How are you fixed on old Duncan Sisters records, Andy?

"Players" Postponed The original plans of "Hollywood

her baby. This makes the second time Bette has had to postpone one of her favorite roles, "Elizabeth, the Queen," on the program. It was cancelled once before recently when Bette was ill.

Mack's Mink We walked into the control booth

of studio H the other evening to have a look -see at an airing of ABC's "The Affairs of Ann Scotland." Its pert feminine producer, Helen Mack, hailed us with a happy hello and proudly displayed a new mink coat! "It's a gift from my hus- band (producer Tom McAvity)," she beamed. "He says it's for my birthday, Christmas and next Fourth of July! Look -I've had this sewn on the inside. I thought it was apro- pos."

She flipped the coat open and inside, on the lining, is sewn the in- scription "Poor Tom "!

Whew At a recent Miles Laboratories, Inc.,

dinner for druggists, the honored guests were given a severe start. Caught with forksful of food half way to their mouths, the druggists were jarred by an appalling announcement.

"President Truman has resigned from the White House!"

To the background accompaniment of clicking teletypes and fast -arriving bulletins, Don Lee news reporter Glenn Hardy continued reading the hottest scoop of the year. President Truman was all tired out. He'd "gone about as fur as he could go." In fact, he was through, washed up, finished!

The nation's executive, continued Hardy, had at last taken this drastic step after continued and repeated per- suasion from a wise and true friend - and here he paused for the pay-off - "Mr. Everett Morrison, President of the California Pharmaceutical Corpora- tion!"

First shock over, the druggists set- tled down to enjoy a hearty laugh and the rest of their dinner . . . and chuckle over the "Newspaper of the Air" gag aimed at their president.

Gone With the Wind Recalling his most "awful air mo-

ment," KHJ narrator George Carson Putman told the story of a Virginia ship launching. "It shouldn't have happened to a dog," moaned Putman, "but it did happen to me!"

George was broadcasting the launching of the S. S. America. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was-the ship's spon- sor, and dignitaries surrounded the platform on all sides. Putan, who had prepared voluminous script for his broadcast, received the "on the air" cue. At just that moment, a gust of wind launched his notes ... into the water far ahead of the ship, and he was left to ad lib the entire half - hour program. Page Fourteen

By Evelyn Bigsby SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE on Bing's show. No more Lina

Romay. Peggy Lee will appear "semi-regularly" (she should fit into that spot like a loud shirt on Crosby) and negotiations are underway to sign The Andrews Sisters for "semi- regular " guest shots. Understand Skitch Henderson stays, and that being the case, we hope he really does his stuff, for whether it's his selections, or not enough of him and too much orchestra, or what, we've found none of his solos to be compar- able to his recorded pianoizing on "Five Minutes More." Also, since Bing's rating nose -dived to almost half of its opening 24, the powers that be prescribed bigger and better guest stars -maybe Heifetz, Benny, Jolson. That should help. It also might help not to repeat the same songs on the show within a period of six weeks. Surely there are plenty to use, or is Bing that lazy?

INCIDENTALLY, speaking of rat- ings, explain this: "The Hunting and Fishing Club" (which precedes Cros- by's transcription) chalked up a 3.4 before Bing came back on the air, but the night he retarned and got a 24, The Club tottered to 2.0. I know seven others besides myself who lis- tened to Hunting and Fishing Club for the first time the night Bingsday first happened!

HEAR THAT ARLENE FRANCIS is going to transcribe her "Affairs of Ann Scotland" so that she'll still continue to air when her baby debuts early next year.... Bill Anson seems to be winning more and more fans all the time. The kids like the stuff he plays: "It's not what he wants to hear but what he knows we want," they tell me.... Glad the Henry Russells (he's musical director for NBC) have a baby girl. Their other small daugh- ter was drowned about a year ago and they didn't care much about anything for awhile. . . .

ISN'T IT FUNNY how folks will stick around waiting for a break and then finally go to town when a record happens to hit? Betty Rhodes, who used to be Mutual's standby and more recently warbled on the Parkyakarkus show, is the latest to greet long -de- served success. Her RCA -Victor record of "Rumors Are Flying" seems to have turned the trick.

WHAT'S A SHOW THEME MEAN TO YOU? To us each one is indelibly identified with the program it her- alds and dddly enough, it is reminiscent of only the best the show has aired. That's why we don't like Fibber and Molly's rah -rah football type of theme this season. Let the summer replacement, Fred Waring, use it if he

wants to, but let Billy Mills' tune that we associated for years with Wistful Vista, set the stage for the winter series. Fibber and Molly aren't the same without it. And that goes for all the shows that change off just as soon as you've come to know the theme. No show should change theme, unless, of course, the show itself is changed importantly.

EVERY RADIO STATION IS SUP- POSED to devote a certain amount of time to public service programs. Some do an excellent job in this respect. Others make an effort, if for no other reason than to assure renewal of their license by the FCC. Not complying with the spirit of the law, they refuse to realize that radio, though run by private enterprise, is also the most potent medium of public dissemina- tion and as such, should measure up more adequately to public needs.

No one expects radio to devote huge hunks of valuable time in an attempt to "elevate" the public. The public doesn't like to have "it's-good-for-you" stuff crammed down its throat. It has to be done subtly and whatever is done has to be given good writing, adequate casting, experienced production, and decent time for airing. Else why bat your brains out?

Even as fine a program as "Pacific Story" misses the boat when it's put on the air at a time like Sunday night at 11:30. With commercial competi- tion what it is, one network or station can't successfully undertake a lone wolf schedule in putting on better and more informative programs in the public interest. It has to be a joint undertaking by an awakened radio, which realizes that it had better beat the critics by organizing or take a beating.

HAVE TO HAND IT to Jack Benny for being big enough (and smart show- man enough) to let the Ronald Col - mans (and Leo Durocher) get in their guest whacks so tellingly. Although Benny didn't have every other line to say, his personality dominated the whole show and the result was great. Why don't more stars take the tip? And why wouldn't the Colmans make a good starring team for their own air show (if they could get writers like Benny's!)

accompaniment and solos with ex- ceptional skill. Of course, part of his silence could be attributed to the fact that he has so many amplifiers, speakers, instruments, and pieces of electrical equipment surrounding him that it would be a major project to get anywhere near a mike.

Answers to "What's Wrong" Quit on Pages 4 and 5

1. Breneman bestows orchids and kisses, not this royal get -up. It's the throne occupied by "Queen for a Day ".

2. As "Lum 'n' Abner ", Chet Lauck and Norris Goff are not correctly at- tired in tuxedos. They belong in rural garb.

3. Cowboy heroes "Red" and "Buck- skin" should be battling with six - shooters, not swords. Besides, "Red" and "Buckskin" are always buddies.

4. Bailey is stealing Breneman's "stuff" -with lady's hat and orchid. 5. Roy Rogers' mount, "Trigger ", does

not accompany Roy to the radio studio.

6. Goodman has the right Instrument, but Borge belongs at the piano, not the drums.

7. "The Old Professor" Is sore because Ish is wearing his cap and gown.

8. Bill Gargan is a sleuth, not a crook, is hero of ABC's "I Deal in Crime ".

Gluttons for Punishm ent..

(Continued from Page 8) reveals a serious side in telling us that poetry is his intellectual hobby and proudly exhibiting a recently published. volume called "Windfall" to prove it.

There seems to be no denying then that the boys are gluttons for punishment, and by way of added confirmation they point to their new "Noble and Allen Show," the broadcast time of which had not been established as this article went to press.

How did they get that way? Well, Allen, younger of the team, comes naturally by a will to do or die in the field of comedy, since he's the son of Belle Montrose and Billy Allen, well known vaudeville stars of another era. Noble, on the other hand, attributes his work -horse capabili- ties to years of rise - and -shine announcing at st*tions in Phoenix and Hollywood. "That's work in any- body's language," he frankly admits.

What next for these fast -rising comics? It's hard to say. They're under seven -year contract to Mutual, and there are those who feel that MBS network bigwigs, openly ad- mitting the net's deficiency in the comedy field, are grooming the boys for still bigger things, meanwhile warding off the other networks, who, it is known, have cast covetous eyes upon one of the most promising comedy teams to originate in radio in the past ten years. Our guess is that Allen and Noble still have a long way to go, but they've got their sights on the top, and with their ex, ceptional talent, they'll get there no matter how hard the climb. After all, they are gluttons for punishment!

GOOD GUESS A recent guest on CBS' "That's Life'

program told of an incident happen- ing to him which sounded almost like k movie script. Picked up on a murder charge because his car was simi- lar to one reported to the police, he was held in jail all night for ques- tioning, but finally released. He went home and was met at the door by an angry wife, who said: "And where were you last night -in jail ?" When she read the headlines, all was for- given.

NEW TWIST, CBS's "Surprise Party" roving

viewer. Maurice Webster, seem tined to be the pioneer of ever angle used on the show. His m cent assignment was to enter a reel theater, convince a woman that she'd have more fun at t lumbia airer than there -and her back to Columbia Square a being hauled into court as a nuisance. He did it!

tor of the CBS "Ginny Simms Show," planned a career as a comedian when he broke into show business, but his father, a former vaudeville musician, persuaded him to concentrate on music.
