WLW 700 (NBC-Mutual) : Herman’s Or. By RALPH NORMAN Another ‘‘amateur” program—. Benny Rubin’s “Original National Amateur Night”—has become radio history. ; This long-popular program, which Mr. Rubin claimed to be the first “amateur” show on a network, has been replaced by Ray Knight and his “Cuckoos” and guest performs ers. Arnold: Johnson's orchestra, augmented with new players, stays to have a more important part in the program. Mr. Rubin is off to Hollywood for a movie engagement, and the new master of ceremonies has no faith in the “amateur” business. “The radio day of the amateur performer is over,” Mr. Knight says, “The public is weary of them, so we decided to begin the new year with a _hew program, professional from start to finish.” For this new Mutual program, tune to WLW or WGN at 5 o'clock

‘ INDIANAPOLIS INDIANAPOLIS CINCINNATI guicace Popularity of “amateur” programs EM (NBO. Neto (NBC-Mutual) (Mutual Net) obviously has been on the decline for some time. Fred Allen, realize ing the trend, abolished this portion of his “Town Hall Tonight,” substituting guest entertainers. The results were gratifying. Only Maj. Bowes .carries on with the “amateurs.” He has made no changes except to move from NBC to CBS and from Sunday night to Thursday night. One: national radio poll recently listed the Major in 17th place in general popularity, behind even Wallace Beery, who has been heard on radio-in the past year only afew times as guest performer. A year or so ago, everyone wanted to help the “amateur.” But the trend now seems to be to the pro- % fessional entertainer, and NBC has Magic Key IM. Then attracted considerable attention no» Men of Destiny with its Wednesday night “Profes~ 2" : sional Parade,” carried by WIRE and. presenting unemployed getors, and -actresses from vaudeville and the legitimate stage. Plans originally were to organize the best of these professionals into stage units, on the Maj. Bowes plan, to send them to theaters through out the country. If this has been done, we haven't heard of it. 2 8. a 3 Joe Cook, who has another galaxy of guest stars lined up for his NBCWLW program at 8:30 o'clock to= night, opened his series last week with a program numerically large if not of unsual quality. Joe is an affable and peppy master of cere monies who runs his hour-long show in a lively manner, but the opening suffered from too much variety. Tonight's guest lineup includes Johnny Weismuller and Babe! Ruth, neither of whom need identification; Paul Gallico, sports and fiction writer; William Moran, former head of the United States | Secret Service; Ray Dooley, | Broadway song and comedy star | who has taken a fling or two at | radio without interesting many | listeners; Jean Lussier, who went’ over Niagara Falls in a barrel and lived to tell about it, and, unless . Joe is kidding uss several other unnanied entertainers. Joe’s all-star band, which ine cluded Rudy Vallee, Guy Lombardo, and other well-known maestros, was on hand last week fo play a few sour notes, but instrumental honors went to Ernie Watson’s orchestra, which will be back tonight with more tune=| ful melodies. : ” 8 IGS—yes, pigs—break : into radio news simultaneously | from both coasts. Out in Holly- | wood, Bob Burns is the proud | possessor of a prize porker re- | ceived from the Governor of | Arkansas. Lr] Even Grandpa Snazzy down in | Van Buren heard the news an wrote: “Now that you went and got vl yourself a piece of real property, | Robin, don’t you let them city slickers lay a-hold of it. Be kind to the animal, and remember, a | Wife vs. Sec’y. pig-is a pig.” Markets | Mid-Day Service . nu 2 J In New York, NBC relaxed" its | rules forbidding animals in / the studios when Phil Lord insisted on | having an authentic squeal for his | “We, the People” program. After | a good deal of argument, the pig was brought in, and Phil promised it would be kept in a cage. During rehearsals, the pig co-operated with noisy squeals, but during the broadcast refused to respond when ‘the cage was jostled. | Photographers ignored the promise to keep the pig in his cage, releasing it in violation of rules. No harm was done. 1 # #2 x This sounds like a joke, but Mr, Lord declares it's authentic. “He | will present on tomorrow’s “We, the People” broadcast (WLW at 4° o'clock) a woman named Molly Ticklepitcher, housewife from Ture niptop, Tenn. Her appearance results from receipt of a letter by Mr. Lord in which Mrs. Ticklepitcher
