Locale of Vic and Sade Episodes Is Puzzle to Bloomington, Ill., Itself Chicago, July 27.—The locale of the Vic and Sade episodes heard over NBC networks is Bloomington, Tilinois, because Paul Rhymer, writer of the script, used to live there and knows the town. So vividly and accurately are descriptions and details carried out that there is no mistaking the fact, although the name of the town itself and actual names of persons, business firms and other identifications are never used. Recently a listener in New Jer- sey wrote to Art Van Harvey, who plays Vic in the. series, stating that he had checked distances to surrounding towns mentioned by actual names on the program, time consumed in reaching them and other location references in the script which proved to his satisfaction that the town in which Vic, Sade and Rush “lived, ‘Mrs. Glass’ Sought By Picture Concerns Camera! Lights! Action! That's the trio of magic words to which the ears of Gertrude Berg's radio troupers will be attuned, ac- cording to plans now under way to make a movie of Glass,” the NBC blue network pro- gram every Wednesday. Paramount ‘Studio and three inde- .|pendent film producers, it is under- stood, have made overtures to Mrs. Berg, who portrays the lead- ing role of Mrs. Glass, 8 It was the intention of the film executives to make the picture some time in August. Mrs. Berg is con- sidering the offers and will accept one, but not for filming at the early August date. She prefers to devote all her time to increasing the program’s prestige as a radio feature for the next eight months and then engage in the cel- luloid version. The film would have to be made in the east because of her present radio contracts. When the picture is made it will feature its present cast comprising Mrs. Berg, Joe Greenwald, Arline Blackburn, Celia Babcock, Paul Stewart, Helene Dumas, Bertha Walden, George To- bias and Lea Penman, Duchin’s Winners to Get ‘Big Time’ Chance Five men and five women moved and had their beings” could be.none other than Bloom- ington, But the listener was disap- pointed, he wrote Van Harvey, when after witl out whether the town appreciat- ed the boost:it was getting, he re- ceived a reply from that body to the effect that Bleomington di- rectories didn’t reveal the exist- ence of a Consolidated Kitchen- ware Plant No. 2, a Gook family or any of the various other places and people mentioned in the series. Art came to the rescue and clarified the situation for the writer. Vic and Sade is heard daily except Saturday and Sunday at 1:15 p. m. (CST), over an NBC- KFYR network, radio ambitions are directed, for it was in this same spot of the film stars that Bing Crosby, Donald No- vis, June Knight, Abe Lyman and! many others got their starts. Chamlee Will Present Concert Every Month Mario Chamlee’s offering of a full program concert on the “Tony and Gus” show (NBC blue network) re- cently has proven so successful that the sponsors plan to present the former Metropolitan Opera tenor in similar recital at least once a month. The all-Chamlee program will become a regular feature soon, it is planned. Heretofore, Chamlee, as Tony, the young immigrant aspiring to operatic laurels, has been confined to two or three selections during each 15-min- ute broadcast, while the rest of the Period was allotted to badinage with Gus, his pugilistic team mate, and the supporting characters. POLITICS RECEIVES TWICE PROMINENCE AVAILABLE IN 194 Roosevelt Has Spoken Nine Times Over Radio System So Far This Year MUSICAL PROGRAMS IN LEAD Colorful Programs From All Over World Are Brought to American Parlors The intense interest of the Ameri- can people in their government and world affairs, and how the National ‘Broadcasting company is bringing them the knowledge they seek, is shown in @ survey of NBC programs for the first half of 1935. Nearly twice as much time ts filled by such broadcasts as in 1934. President Roosevelt alone has spoken nine times, cabinet members two or three times a week, other backers and critics of the administration more often. Scientists, educators, religious lead- ers and business men kept NBC lis- teners fully informed of problems and progress. Great his- torical and cultural. events were dramatized and commemorated. News events—the Mohawk and Macon dis- asters, Weyerhaeuser kidnaping, and sports—were covered.

Major Bowes Amateur Hour Draws Bushels of Votes From All Over World New York, July 27—The win- ner of Major Bowes Amateur Hour is selected each week by the telephone vote of listeners in New York and one other city in the country. These votes, however, are only ‘a fraction of the totals which fi- nally determine the lucky ama- teurs who will get vaudeville contracts. From every state, Canada, and foreign lands the ballots come pouring in by mail after each Sunday broadcasts over an NBC-KFYR network at 6 p. m, (C8T). A partial list of faraway places heard from in the voting includes Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and Bridgetown, Barbados, in the British West Indies; Aruba, Cura- cao, in the Danish West Indies; Ancon, Canal Zone; Bluefield, jubilee broadcasts. The screech of Nicaragua, Honda, Colymbia, a town more than 800 miles up the Magdalena river in the interior; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cuma- rebo, Venezuela; Dublin, Ireland; and Edinburgh, Scotland. Contrary to Scotch tradition the vote from Edinburgh was by pre-paid cable. Another unusual tribute to the program came from three seamen aboard the S. 8. Pastores off the coast of Uruguay. Their letter told of lUstening in in the fo'c’sle. The letter from Curacao enclosing sev- eral ballots read as follows: “Please make the gong clear and distinct as we have a pool on the number of times it will ring. Incidentally some of the boys who draw high numbers would like to win the pool once in a while but don’t let this influence you.” d World Affair Features Lanny Ross Signs for New Show Boat Series One of the most interesting con- tracts in the history of radio has been signed by Lanny Ross, the Show Boat, and Ralph Starr But- om vice president of the sponsors of Program. ‘The contract, which ts for perioa of two years, recognizes Ross as one of the outstanding artists on the air and pute him in the title spot on the Program which he has helped to bring into fame in the last three years.
