ROAMING THE AIR WAVES
_With RAY FITZPATRICK-—:
'Sl
it** not often that fiction read
ers have a chance to hear drama
tised over the air portions of a
story that they’ll begin reading
with interest a few days later . . .
But such is the case tonight, when
listeners can hear a special drama
tisation based on “The Blue Door,"
xny8try-romancc which begins In
Tuesday’s Democrat.. . .The broad
cast goes on the air at 7 o'clock,
and should prove more than ordi
narily enjoyable, as well as a clever
introduction to the new serial.
Personal and otherwise . . .
Irving Berlin has scored once
again In his grand new tunes
for the Fred Astaire-Ginger
Rogers combination's lutest
opus, “Top Hat’’ . , . Featured
songs include “Top Hat,” “No
Strings,’’ “The Plocolino.” and
“Check to Cheek" . . . We’ve
heard several WATR artists
already making use of the
new tunes to excellent effect.
.... Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city
health officer, was the guest
of The Democrat and WATR,
during the 5:30 news broad
cast last evening . . . Dr. God
frey gave the first official an
nouncement of the indefinite
postponement of the opening
of local schools because of
the number of infantile par
alysis cases In the city.
Just a little while before 8:15
to-night, you might get a few
bundles of straw and litter it about
your living room: toss a few corn
husks about for additional atmo
sphere; put On your high-buttoned
shoes . . . When that’s completed,
you're all ready, and even if you
don’t bother, you’re ready just the
tame for the big WATR Friday
night Barn Dance . . . The she
nanigans start at S: 15 and will last
till 9, when the fiddle bow will
be scraped for the last time, and
you can pause for breath ....
Next to going to a barn dance,
ons over the air is the height of
fun . . . Perhaps even better, be
cause at home the chances are bet
ter that some 200-pounder won't
come down on your toes with ele
phantine grace.
Also on WATR to-night . . .
Hits and Bits uf 6:15 . . . .
Yankee Minute Men 15 Min
utes later .... Hits and Bits
again at 6:45, with racing re
sults at 6:55 .... 7 o’clock—
Dramatization of “The Blue
Door” .... Baseball scores at
7:15 followed by Naugatuck
on the Air .... Metropolitan
Players at 7:30, and Hits in
Review at 8 o’clock .... Then
the Barn Dance at 8:15 and
4gn off at ».
FIRST CANDID SHOTS OF AMOS 'N* ANDT IN ACTION
Amos ’n’ And} observed their sixth anniversary on the air on August 19, but it was the man with the
candid camera who celebrated. He was permitted to take the first informal, unposcd pictures of the
famous NBC comedians during n broadcast. And here you sec the results. At the left the two arc shown
removing their coats after entering private studio F in NBC Chicago studios. Amos (Freeman F. Gosdcn
keeps his lint on nnd wears it rakishly as he argues as the lordly Kingfisli. Andy (Charles J. Corrcll). in
his shirt sleeves, sits opi>osite nnd argues seriously. The phenomenal rise of these two young men. begin
ning their seventh year as a blackface character team on NBC networks, almost parallels the “coming of
age" of radio broadcasting. Having been heard over an NBC-WJZ network ever since that memorable
August 19. six years ago. Amos ’n’ Andy switched to an NBC-WEAF network on July 15 this year, so
tliat an even larger audience might lienr them. Amos ’n' Andy arc heard daily except Snturday and Sun
day at 7:00 p. in., EDST, with.a repeat broadcast for western listeners at 11:00 P. M., EDST.
Phil Baker, one of the foremost
figures among the topnotch come
dians of the radio world, has been
signed as the headliner of a new
sponsored series to be heard over
an extensive WABC-Columbia net
work each Sunday, from 7:30 to
8:00 p. m., beginning September
39. This will be Baker's first ap
pearance on the Columbia chain
and the programs will be heard
over the same stations carrying
the present sponsor's series.
The widely popular comic re
turns to the air with a background
of two and a half years in radio
and a virtual lifetime in the show
business. He is a Philadelphian by
birth and started a stage career at
an early age. As Phil slyly puts it,
“I just went on the stage so I could
sleep late. I never could get up in
the morning."
Maxine Lewis, young mov
ing picture star, will make her
first appearance on a nation
wide network as the guest
singing star of Al Jolson’s
Chateau on Saturday, August
31. Otlicr guests lor the
Broadcast over a WEAF-XBC
network at 9:30 p. ill. Include
tJcorgc Jesse I, Boris Karloff
and Joyce Wcthcred.
Miss Lewis is now in Holly
wood working on the movie
lots In featured roles. Pre
viously she lias been starred
In Earl Carroll's Vanities and
other Broadway musical pro
ductions.
Jessel, the llrst personality
to play a return engagement in
tlie Chateau since the series
started, has an original com
edy sketch ready for the show.
Karloff will have the lead in a
dramatic sketch and Miss
Wcthcred. outstanding woman
golfer, will Ih? Interviewed by
another links enthusiast, Al
Joison.
Lawrence Tibbett will be heard
over one of the largest network of
Columbia stations ever engaged for
an individual soloist when he re
turns to the air as a star on Tues
day, September 24. Eighty CBS
outlets will be linked every Tues
day night from 8:30 to 9:00 o'clock
EDST, to curry the voice of Amer
ica's famous dramatic singer.
While Tibbett’s fame has spread
far and wide, relatively few have
been able to hear him at the
Metropolitan or during his limited
concert tours. With his contract
for CBS appearances, his programs
will reach a far greater number of
listeners than at any time pre
vious in his radio career. As al
ready announced, Don Voorhees
has been engaged to conduct the
accompanying symphony orchestra
when the popular baritone is
broadcasting from New York.
When the CBS star returns from
the west coast where he has been
making a motion picture, he ex
pects to spend a quiet month on
hi,3 farm near Wilton, Conn., com
ing to the metropolis only for re
hearsals and broadcasts. The Tib
bett place on Honeyhlll road is no
''dude" farm. The singer is ac
customed to rise at the crack of
dawn and work all day in the best
agricultural tradition.

Business Men to Be Inter*
viewed Over Telephone
By Vita Vail
The new series of telephone
broadcasts presented over WATR
takes a new twist tomorrow morn
in;- at 11:45 when Vita Vail relieves
George Duffy at the microphone
and the telephone.
The series has brought into the
radio sets of the audiences in Wa
terbury and surrounding towns,
leading business men who have
been seated at their desks and,
speaking into their telephones, have
aired their views of various topics
of interest. The telephone conver
sations were routed through the
control room of WATR and the
speakers words were broadcast on
the air.
TomorrowBs program will have
particular appeal to the women in
view of the fact that It will tell
what the new fall trends are to be
in the world of fashion.
Vita Vail, who is heard daily in
the Woman’s Shopping Revue, will
call a dress shop, a millinery store,
a shoe store, and a beauty parlor.
The listeners will hear first, the
dial tone, the clock of the dial,
the phone ringing and then the
voice of someone in that business
house who is in a position to tell
Just what new styles are to bo ef
fective this year.
This telephone series is just an
other step forward taken by WATR
in their policy of stunt broadcasts
and public service.

Mary Livingstone, distinguished
American “poetess,” has been in
duced to pen a sequel to her fa
mous poem “Labor Day” which
was first heard on Jack Benny's
pre-Labor Day broadcast in 1984.
Though Miss Livingstone will not

for poetry-lovers and here they
are:
LABOR DAY
(2nd Edition)
By Mary Livingstone
Labor Day, Oh Labor Day,
We're glad you’re here
again,
Wc love you dearly, Labor
Day,
We girls as well as men.
WeJre awfully glad you come
right now
For If you came in Decem
ber
You’d lie Christmas. But since
you don't
It's Labor Day wc remem
ber.
Christmas has its Santa
Claus,—
Valentine's Day its Cupid,—
You have nothing, Labor
Day,—
Now don’t you think that’s
stupid?
But don’t feel badly, Labor
Day,
For if you’re feeling gloomy,
To make yon gay, I’ll hafe
Jack play
His favorite . . . “Love in
Bloom - y.”
So let’s all give a rousing
cheer
Because you cothc but once
a year;
It might be nice
If you happened twice,—
But you can’t, —cause you
fall on Monday.
