Daytime radio audiences will be
treated to a new kind of progr^p,
combining audience participation
and comedy, when a Monday
through Friday series, titled Glam
our Manor, makes its bow over the
entire Blue Network, Monday, July
3.
Glamour Manor is the name of
a mythical hotel recently inherit
ed by Cliff Arquette, well-known
radio comedian. Arquette, whose
middle name is versatility, will
m.c. the program, play character
parts, and write much of his own
material.
The show^ comedy corner will
be highlighted on Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays, with inci
dents involving the manoFs thirty-
three delightful but dilapidated
rooms and the odd assortment of
guests who live in them. The other
two days will be “Ladies Day” at
the manor, with studio audiences
participating in contests and
quizzes. Cash will be the reward
for correct answers, and penalties
the price of wrong answers.
Charles Dane and his 12-piece
orchestra, with a male vocalist,
will provide the musical back
ground. Comedy players and two
announcers will round out the cast.

Excerpt from the diary of Harve
Fischman, 13, who has kept a daily
record of events since he made
his debut with the Blue Network’s
Quiz Kids three years ago:
“The Hollywood Canteen looks
like a girl in slacks . . . pretty
from the front, awful from the
rear.”

Despite the recent warnings
from the O.D.T., eleven velvet
voiced choristers will, musically
speaking, be “Alabamy Bound” on
the Blue Network broadcast of
the Aunt Jemima Show, Thursday,
June 29, at 9:40 a.m., CWT. The
melodic trip will be followed by a
Palmer Clark arrangement of
“Moonglow.”
On Friday, June 30, the chorus,
under the direction of Harry
Walsh, will ask “Is It True What
They Say About Dixie?” and then
tell listeners what is found “Over
the Rainbow.”

Formal opening of the swim
ming pool that Tom Breneman
and his fans have provided for
the Hollywood Guild Canteen will
climax the gala Fourth of July
festivities to be staged for service
personnel by the renowned Blue
Network program, Breakfast at
Sardi’s.
Beginning with the regular
Breakfast at Sardi’s broadcast at
10:00 a.m., CWT, Tuesday, July 4,
the day will be given over to feting
members of the armed forces who
will spend the holiday in the film
city.
The Fourth of July broadcast
will mark the eighth time that
Breakfast at Sardi’s has been de
voted exclusively to men and wom
en who wear khaki, olive drab and
navy blue. Each guest receives
$5.00, in addition to special awards.
On the afternoon of the Fourth,
Breneman will preside as host at
a giant barbecue and show to be
held near the new swim pool on
the grounds of the Ann Lehr
estate, where the Hollywood Guild
Canteen is located. The affair will
culminate in the formal opening
of the pool.
Built by the Paddock Engineer
ing Co., at a cost of $10,000, the
pool is 60 by 30 feet and is com
plete to runway, springboards and
other equipment. Money for the
project has been contributed partly
by the management of Breakfast
at Cardi’s and partly from the
surplus in the fund donated by the
program’s daily guests for the spe
cial Sardi’s broadcasts for service
personnel.
(Breakfast at Sardi’s, with Tom
Breneman as host, is broadcast
over the Blue Network Mondays
through Fridays at 10 a.m., CWT.

program will be seen on the screen,
too, when the show takes a fling
in vaudeville shortly.
Scheduled for the RKO Theatre
in Boston for one week beginning

montage picturing the way the
program is conducted.

A serenade to a slip-horn will
be voiced by the Four Vagabonds
on their Blue Network program
of songs, Wednesday, June 28, at
4:15-4:30 p.m., CWT, when they
proclaim “There’s an Awful Lotta
Rhythm in a Slide Trombone.”
The four mellow fellows also
will chant “Slow Down,” “Just a
Dream of You,” “Yours,” and the
Dorsey cantata, “Can’t Get Stuff
in Your Cuff.”

On a recent Blue Network Blind
Date show, lovely Joanne Sheer
was telling Marine Corp. Pasquale
Franco over the telephone the type
of man she’d like to date. Said she:
“The man of my dreams must be
true, square and upright.”
Without fluttering an eyelash,
the Marine replied, “Lady, you
don’t want a man, you want a
piano!”
When the sun has gone down,
the surface of the ground loses
its heat at a much more rapid
rate than does the surrounding
air.
