Tre drama is titled “The Pelt of Mucho Grande.” *** Listerners to the deey, power ful voice of Westbrook Van Voor- his, heard Monday through Friday over the WTAW in Time Views the News at 3:30 p. m., CWT, are invariably surprised when they learn that instead of the big, heavy built person they’ve visual ized him, Van is astonishingly slim and wiry. Van Voorhis puts so much ener gy into multiple tasks that he’ll probably never gain weight. In ad dition to his job of narrating the March of Time and Time Views the News, Van is also accepted as “Minister withoue Portfolio” for Time Inc., and travels some 75,000 miles each year to make personal appearances throughout the coun try. **♦ The BLUE Network’s New York carpentry department has been called upon to heighten the ef fectiveness of the My Ture Story program heard over WTAW Mon day through Friday mornings at 9:16 a. m., CWT. Although each broadcast has a different story evefy yarn is told in jart, through soliloquies by the central character. To impart an eerily detached quality to the actor’s—or actress’ voice during these solilipues, Charles Warbur- Where You Always Get a Fair Trade LOUPOT’S ton, one of the directors of My True Story, ordered a special booth built. The performer enacts most of the role at regular studio microphones. Then when soliloquy time comes he (usually she, though) steps into the booth as if to make a phone call, closes the sound proof door, reads the lines into the waiting mike, getting the mysterious tone into the first per son lines. *** Don McNeill, m. c. of the BLUE Network’s celebrated Breakfast Club, received a sharp set back this morning when he asked Ar chie, the studio janitor, which por tion of the Breakfast Club pro gram he liked best. “Well,” said Archie, leaning on his broom, “seems to me the best part is where you put on ladies’ hats and pass out them orchids.” *** “FANNIE HURST PRESENTS” “Wrath,” the Fannie Hurst love story of a girl from the Ohio Ri ver mudflats and a farm boy, will be dramatized on Fannie Hurst Presents, Saturday, Sep tember 9, at 9:00 a.m., CWT, over WTAW. , In the story, the couple suffers from the wrath of the boy’s father. In an effort to get away from it, the boy gambles and loses, but later finds that he won—in a dif ferent way than he had expected. Miss Hurst will be narrator of the story. Original organ music has been composed and will be played by Abe Goldman. *** Dr. Margaret Meade will return to the BLUE Network’s Listen, The Women, Sunday, September 10, at 2:00 p. m., CWT.

On the serious musical side of the program, the hymn, “God Is Ever Beside Me” will be heard. The new singing group, Four Chicks and Chuck, will make a rousing roundelay out of “I Want To Dance with the Dolly with a Hole in Her Stocking.” Other se lections to be played by White man’s orchestra and sung by the chorus, Bob Johnston and Ilene Woods, include “Sweet and Love ly,” “I’ll Walk Alone,” “Lover,” “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.” There’ll be a Hoagy Carmicheal medley too, as well as Whiteman’s “Now and Thenner,” in which he plays an old tune in the original manner and then repeats it with a streamlined orchestration. *** George Hicks, BLUE Network war correspondent who electrified the world with his stirring, drama tic eyewitness account of the Nor mandy invasion, will bring a week ly review of the war news to the nation each Sunday at 12:15 p. m., CWT, over WTAW, beginning Sunday, September 17. Hicks meorable D-Day broad cast, which was the first actual account of the landings in France told against a backdrop of cannon fire and roaring planes, has been acclaimed as an achievement of a new high level in documentary reporting. Hicks subsequent coverage of the front line fighting has been aired regularly over WTAW, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. In his new series starting September 17 a vast nation-wide Sunday af ternoon audience will hear a fact ual detailed report from the war theatre presented by one of the greatest reporters to come out of the war. *** Football, headed for its great est season since the outbreak of the war, will be amply covered by the BLUE Network this fall, with the Michigan vs. Iowa Sea Hawks game at Ann Arbor, Michigan, Saturday, September 16, due to inaugurate the campaign.

The struggle to build a plantation, the tedious supervision of planting crops, the skillful management of slave labor, and the initiation of graceful living in a country long accustomed to the roughness of the pioneer are the themes which weave themselves into a romantic and exciting story. The Handsome Road, a story of the Civil War and of the period of Reconstruction, interprets the South’s attitude concerning the war from the social point of view. In telling the story, Gwen Bristow manages to contrast the Rich Plan tation class with the Poor White class. Corrie May Upjohn, a girl of the water front, more intelligent than most of her associates, dis covers that the Poor Whites in their ignorance are actually fight ing the war to protect the inter ests of the wealthy property and slave owners and to perpetuate their own degraded condition. The Poor Whites didn’t have a chance during this period; yet, Corrie May, in spite of (perhaps because of!) her impatience, is a promise for a better future. This Side of Glory begins in 1912 and extends to several years after the World War. Fred Upjohn, son of the poor whites, has risen in the world the hard way. His swift and sure success as a business man has gained for him the re spect and admiration of rthe people spect and admiration of people in New Orleans. Eleanor, his daugh ter, patterned after her father, is well-educated and intelligent. She is working fo rher father, when she meets Kster Larne—charming descendant of the famous Southern family and heir to Ardeith, their magnificent plantation. By this time, however, most of the Larne money is gone, and Kester is little more than a symbol of their de clining power. When Kester and Eleanor meet, it is the introduc tion of the product of the Old to that of the New South. Their strug gle for adjustment on a personal basis is as difficult as the extend ed struggle of these two social classes in the South. Deep Summer, Handsome Road, and This Side of Glory are good stories—colorful, romantic, and en tertaining. The first two of the series, because of the period which they depict, have more atmosphere and are more dramatic. Gwen Bris tow likes her people and the beau tiful life they lived—a life that has almost faded now. Recommended for pleasure and entertainment, these books create for the read 0 ” the romance and adventure of Louisiana’s colorful history.
