‘Babe Ruth“to Premiere

I" After June

New CBS-WFBM Series At 9:30 Tonight.

By RALPH NORMAN Tomorrow, for the first time, lis-

world heavyweight ‘champion, and Tommy Farr, British Empire champion, will be broadcast from London by CBS-WFBM, beginning at 3:30 p. m. The fight will be at 9:30 o'clock,

'| London time, but the six-hour dif-

| ference between London and Central Standard Time makes it an afternoon broadcast for American listeners. The [fight will. be Baer’s initial bout in his first foreign campaign. Farr is a Welshman, a formér miner, whose boxing career was rather unspectacular until a recent victory over Ben Foord, for- ! mer Empire champ.

Sports fans also will be interested in Babe Ruth's new CBSWFBM series, which opens at 9:30 tonight, to be heard at this hour each Wednesday and Friday evening. The erstwhile “Sultan of Swat” will discuss the sport which made him famous, and will predict scores of forthcoming games. Queerly, the sponsors will premiere the program by presenting two guest performers, along with pabe, They are James M. Kieran nd Walter D. Knight Jr., both Now Ya of Barnard High School,

New York City. They will debate the comparative merits of baseball and football. Young Kieran is shortstop on his varsity nine, and Knight is a football player. The Babe has broadcast before, but this, I believe, is his first reguad series.

| Practically everyone except Fred Allen has expressed an opinion bout the popular impresario’s lans affer “Town Hall Tonight” leaves the air after June. It's been ommon knowledge that the Allens lan a vacation, hut now they settle. all rumors by announcing fairly definite plans. | It's Hollywood and the movies for red and Portland for a few months fter the “Town Hall Tonight” series concludes. Mr. Allen didn’t say what movie he (or they) will make, but [it will be his second. | . #..8 .n | The Allens’ plans after early fall, [when the movie will be completed, are indefinite, but they will include |a long vacation. He says he definite|ly will not be on the air with a fall series, as that would limit his vacation to a brief rest,rand “Town Hall | Tonight” may be discontinued per'manently after June. When and if | Allen returns to the networks, it | may be on a half-hour show. He feels the full-hour program takes too much work, and is too difficult to keep going. | But those who know the comedian know that he would spend as much time with a half-hour show as he does with “Town Hall Tonight”—it would be all his time. The show might be more polished and consis= tently better, but the hard-working Mr. Allen, his friends say, never will relax with a show to do, be it 10 or 30 or 60 minutes. ® x on If “Town Hall Tonight” leaves the air, listeners will lose one of their very best comedy shows. The now-buried feud, of course, set a new high in radio comedy. It seems that Benny's shows have been better, now that the feud is over, than have Allen’s. But it will take both comedians a long time to find a new idea that’s a worthy: successor to the hilarious feud.

# ” #

One of radio’s oddest jobs is held | by pretty Marlyn Stuart, who has two lines to read into a CBS microphone every week. She introduces Ken Murray to CBSWFBM listeners at 7:30 o'clock each Wednesday evening by saying, “Mama, oh, Mama, that man’s here again.” Then she closes the broadcast with, “Mama, oh, Mama, there goes that man.” : Because Murray wanted her to read these lines—these and no more—Marlyn traveled from New

| York, where she appeared in nu-

merous stage productions, to Holly- | wood. And with these two lines, . she is becoming a definite radio pessonality. When the comedian opened his initial CBS series; he auditioned several applicants, found none of them satisfactory. Then he remembered Marlyn, with whom he played in Earl Carroll's “Sketch Book.” He took her out of the “Vanities” and put her. on radio, and now she’s back for the current series. ” ” ”

More important in the Murray cast is Shirley Ross, songstress, who has a leading role in “Waikiki Wedding,” which is playing its second week ‘at the Circle. The cast tonight will celebrate the second week of their mythical vacation, deserting the mythical bounding blue and embarking in a mythical trailer to see America. " “8” z New York station WMCA tonight will present the longest single speech ever broadcast when Max Steuer, trial lawyer, talks for one and onehalf hours on the Supreme Court issue. Mr. Steuer will speak extemporaneously. . The networks carefully have limited speeches to 15 to 30 minutes, and seldom has a President's or Presidential nominee's speech run more than 30 minutes, Broadcasters know if listeners tire of a talk, they will dial another station. The station’s audience then is lost for forthcoming programs.
