WYNN BUYS TIME FOR ONE LISTENER

His Mother, Sick in Hospital at Atlantic City, Laughs, Cries as She Hears 'Gulliver' Over WPG Helen Keller Is to Tell of Her Struggles in Learning to Talk When She Appears on Vallee Variety Hour Tonight; Fairbanks Jr, to Be on Same Bill. BY RALPH NORMAN' AN elderly lady recovering from automobile accident injuries lay in an Atlantic City hospital last Thursday evening, despondent because she thought she would be unable to hear her son's new CBS program on her small radio set. The week before, at the time of his inaugural broadcast of anew series, she was disappointed when her receiver failed to pick up a CBS station. Meanwhile, at WPG, Atlantic City, there had come a telephone call from Ed Wynn, who purchased at his own expense one-half hour's time so that his mother might hear his ‘'Gulliver” skit. When hospital attendants later told him how his mother laughed and cried •t his program coming to her from the bedside radio, Ed declared it was the biggest money's worth he ever received.

The third edition of ''Gulliver” is to be heard on CBS 'WT’BMi at 8:30 tonight. a a a NBC now has a complicated arrangement whereby artists may escape allograph hunters. Nelson Eddy, prize catch of the moment, using the exit for the first time this week, was rushed from the studio through a back corridor, down a freight elevator to a subbasement and through a subway passage into a building across the street, where he climbed into a cab from a truck loading platform. ana Efficiency of mechanical equipment and expert operators which daily makes possible intricate program changes on the networks was demonstrated when WFBM fed to CBS a talk from its studio on N. Penn.-st. The speech ended slightly ahead of schedule, necessitating use of fill in organ music from CBS studios in New York. In less than five seconds after the WFBM announcer gave the signal, at least five operators had changed connections to reverse the circuit, and CBS listeners heard music from New York. There is nothing unusual about this—it goes on every hour of the day and most hours of the night, but it shows that behind the simplest chain programs are many delicate maneuvers in which there must be no mistake. But human beings are not infallible, so occasionally a slip occurs. Recently, when CBS and NBC carried the same program, somewhere lines were not changed at the proper instant, and the NBC identification came through CBS to WFBM, where it was faded out with music. But for a few minutes the WFBM staff heard an NBC commercial, while waiting for CBS to be cleared for its new program. So nearly perfect was the timing on Wayne King’s broadcast this week that it was difficult for listeners to realize that the program originated in both Washington and Chicago. U tt tt Time was when Helen Keller was

deaf, dumb and blind, but through years of patient studing and practice she mastered the science of speech. Tonight on Rudy Vallee’s Variety Hour. NBC-WEAF < WLWI at 7, her voice is to be carried to a nation of listeners when she gives her impressions of life and *ells something of the struggles of the

Miss Harriet Hilliard and Ozzie Nelson will sing, and Frank Fay, whose failure to watch the clock got him into trouble last week, forcing him to end his skit without a scheduled song, is to continue his biographical dissertations on the Fay clan, a it tt ANEW development in use of radio in education, in which high school seniors are to be required to listen to America's Town Meeting, NBC-WJZ. at 8:30. then conduct similar meetings in their schools, is to be inaugurated tonight. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is to preside at the forum, at which two seniors from each of New Lady Took Cardui During Middle Life Women who are entering middle life will be interested in the experience of Mrs. L. C. McDonald, of Paragould, Ark., who writes: “1 can not say anything but good about Cardui. i think it is a grand medicine. I took Cardui during change of life. I was so weak, so nervous, I could hardly go. I just dragged around. I had fainting spells and would just give down. My back and head hurt.
