The satiny-voiced foursome also will sing “My Heart Tells Me,” “Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes,” “Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet” and “Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland.” * * * “Wang, Wang Blues,” a toe-tap ping tune of a few years back as played by the Harmonizers, instru mental sextet, will be featured on the Blue Network v broadcast of Farm and Home Makers, Wednes day, July 5, at 11:30 p.m., CWT. Other selections to be heard on the program include a special' ar rangement of ‘Sophisticated Lady* to be played by the orchestra un der the direction of Harry Kogen; and “Begin the Beguine,” “The Isle of Capri,” and the hymn, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord,” as baritoned by M. C. Curley Bradley. Bradley will also present a last- minute farm news .summary, and Kay Baxter will offer helpful household tips. * * * Nedda, who lived in a small Western town, married Jeff, a New Yorker, and immediately wanted to get into a slicker set, but Jeff wanted it the other way. The resulting drama highlights the Blue Network’s presentation of My True Story to be heard on Wednes day, July 5, from 9:15 a.m. to 9:40 a.m. The story, titled “Pretender,” finds Nedda encountering many heartaches before she decides that simple things are best after all. * * * The day she married her second husband she told him she still loved the memory of her first, a young man who had been killed early in their marriage. The subsequent split-up and the apparently perma nent impasse, later adjusted by the wise advice of the family physician make the Blue Network’s presenta tion of My True Story on Thurs day, July 6, 9:16 a.m., CWT, an absorbing drama. It is called “Love Keeps You Guessing,” and it will. * * * Even veterans of radio are in awe of the Breakfast Club’s ability to “pull” a studio audience at an hour best suited for sleeping. Re cently more than 1,000 persons crowded into the studio to witness the celebrated Blue Network show. Unable to get seats, 400 others heard the broadcast via loud speak er in another studio. * * * According to a dispatch from Lieut. William K. Holt, a Marine Corps combat correspondent, if you tune in on the fighter frequency during air battles in the South Pa cific, you’re likely to hear some thing like this: “I’m the Green Hornet! Bzzzzz. Bzzzzz. Watch me sting this Jap!” “Here comes Jack Armstrong, the A-a-aaa-111 American Boy! Rat- a-taaaat! Rat-a-taaaat!” “Which way’d they go, sheriff? That-a-way, pardner. Hi-yo, Sil ver! The Lone Ranger rides again!” “Dick Tracy’s the name. Flat- Top, you're a goner!” * * * Judicial chambers in which noth ing is settled and no problem solved except how to make people laugh, with comedian Ransom Sherman as presiding justice, will be whatever idea there is behind Nitwit Court, which has its first weekly session over the Blue Net work, Tuesday, July 4, at 7:30 p.m., CWT. As whacky a court room as Duf fy’s Tavern is a bistro, Nitwit Court replaces Ed (Archie) Gard ner’s joint for the summer months. A zandy quartet of jurors, one third the regulation number, will consider grave questions, the an swers to which a A *e guaranteed nev er to be given in any sane sense. In a brief preview, for example, on the final broadcast of Duffy’s Tavern, the court tried to solve the never-ending problem of how Miss Duffy is to get her man, but when the program was over Miss Duffy’s arms were, as usual, as empty as her head. The jurors are “Wesley Willow,” played by Arthur Q. Bryan, “Bige low Homblower,” played by Mel Blanc, and “Bubbles Lowbridge,” portrayed by Sarah Berner. The fourth juror, never seen nor heard, but often referred to, is “Fenni- more Jessup.” Lending some notes of sanity as well as music to Nitwit Court will be Jimmy Dodd, singing star, and the Jack Rose instrumentalists. * * * Here is a‘ story that soldiers on the Normandy beachhead, accord ing to the Associated Press, tell about George Hicks, Blue Network war correspondent whose exciting eye-witness accounts of the recent invasion were heralded far and wide. It seems Hicks returned to the beach exhausted, borrowed a blan ket and lay down by the side of the road where he fell asleep. A truck, picking up wounded for hos pitalization, rolled up. Soldiers started to toss Hicks in the truck, but Lt. Sam Byrd, a peacetime ac tor, stopped them. Byrd said Hicks slept through it all. * * * One housekeeper, at least, has firmly resolved to clean her re frigerator daily. She is the mother of a ten-year-old boy listener of the Blue Playhouse, children’s the atre dramatizations heard Satur days, at 11:00 a.m., CWT, over the Blue Network. After following a recent drama tization titled, “Wonder Drug,” which told the story of penicillin, the boy searched in the family re frigerator and found a loaf of bread with some mold on it. He hung on to the loaf for four days. Said he was growing some penicil lin. Ira Marion, who writes Blue Playhouse, stressed in the penicil lin drama that the drug comes from one of 600 molds that grow on bread and cheese. * * * Without using pencil and paper, Joel Kupperman, 8-year-old math wizard of the Blue Network Quiz Kids, solved the following prob lem in less than two minutes: In how many possible ways can 9 men on a baseball team be shift TWO SIZE 5 IN THE LATEST KHAKI CUTS —A LA G.
