Wednenday, Dec. 25 ‘Wake Up ‘and Find Here's a pretty good idea of how Left to right in the foreground: bour. In the background: Time will be turned back 2000 years and the Star of Bethlehem will be reproduced for NBC listen- ers in a broadcast from the Hay- den Planetarium of the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 24, Stanley High, NBC commenta- tor, will describe the heavenly spectacle that guided the Magi to the manger, over an NBC-KFYR network from 10:45 to 11 p. m. (CST). The theory of the Star of Beth- lehem is that the three planets, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, were so aligned in the year 6 B. C., that they seemed to shine as one star instead of three. To illustrate One Man's Family will be carrying on on the morning of Dec. 25 at the home of Author Carleton Morse. Claudia, Nicky and Mother Bar- Clifford, Hazel, Teddy, Jack and Father Barbour. Will Reproduce Star of Bethlehem in Hayden Planetarium on Christmas Eve this, the projector of the plane- tarium will be moved back rough- Ty 2000 years and the latitude of the audience will be shifted from New York to Palestine. Then the projector will be run forward slowly, bringing the three plan- ets closer to one another until they gleam as a single brilliant light. + The joining of the three planets shining as one appears only once in 800 years. After its appearance in 6 B. C., the next appearance was in 799 A. D., and the next in 1604 Johann Kepler, the German astrologer and mathematician, who saw the spectacle in 1604, de- scribed the phenomenon as a pos- sible explanation of the Star of Bethlehem. HAVE FACED DEATH TO TALK OVER AIR One Risked Life in Search of Treasure; Another Saw Ghost and Can ‘Prove It’ ARE PROVED BY DETECTIVES First to Be Heard Will Be Gen- eral Giuseppe Garibaldi, Grandson of Famed Man Phillips Lord, noted radio author and actor, will be heard over an NBC-KFYR network Dec. 24, pre- sented in a series of thrills from life, told on the air by men and women who have faced death in weird ad- ventures. A man who risked his life in search of buried treasure, another who saw @ ghost and can prove it, the story of a tiger hunt in mid-Pacific and a former soldier's account of facing a firing squad, ‘vill be heard in Lord’s three-minute thrills over an NBC- KFYR network, Tuesdays at 7 p. m. (CST). will continue to present Leo Reisman Singer, the Eton Boys, the Sweethearts | and Johnny, the page.’ For the last three months, Phillips Lord, who has faced a few thrilling adventures himself, and his staff, as- sisted by the internationally famous Burns Detective Agency, have been on world wide search for persons who have experienced spine-chilling ad- fventures, Phil has found many such individuals, but his most difficult task has been to induce them to talk about experiences which frequently they would prefer to forget. The Burns agency has investigated and Lord and his thrill stories will be} an added attraction to the show which | and his orchestra, Phil Duey, Sally | Here is Gloria Grafton, whose individual contralto voice is heard in the Jumbo broadcast every Tuesday night over NBC. She plays the singing dramatic role of Mickey Considine, and with Don- ald Novis provides the love inter- est in the script. Jimmy Durante, of course, adds the light touches to the show, authenticated each story that will be told on the air. First of the unusual persons to ap- pear with Lord will be General Gius- eppe Garibaldi, grandson of the fa-| mous Italian patriot, and himself one of the world’s greatest soldiers of for- tune, He will broadcast on the De-| cember 24 program. General Garibaldi fought in more than 100 major battles and almost as many countries before the World War. He -has received decorations and citations too numerous to list. These include the highest military awards of three major nations. The general will tell what he con- siders his greatest thrill. al } enough, it is not a war story.

His first appearance on any stage Gloria Grafton, singing ingenue of the show over NBC every Tuesday evening, has been in the theatre and radio less than five years, but she has the attitude of a seasoned trouper. Her dad was a Seattle broker and dabbled in various enterprises includ- ing show business, and Gloria at 14 was appearing in puppeteer perform- ances. . . She did not follow the theatre then, however, continuing instead her grade and high schooling and later entering the University: of, Washing- jects and for a time taught English. . . She came East for the first time in 1930, using introductions from Al Jol- son, a friend of her father, to crash all about and entertained ideas of go- ing into lights immediately as a legi- timate actress, but swung into night club singing when a theatrical agent challenged her to starve trying to be only a thespian and that right off quick. . . when she found out “people get paid pasa aan WE f Orphan Annie Plans / An old-fashioned Christmas on the farm, and the celebration of Annie’s fifth anniversary of con- tinuous broadcasting, will make the Orphan Annie program on Christmas Day a doubly-gala oc- casion, And Annie is inviting not only her young friends but their fathers and mothers as well, be- cause it’s going to be the kind of party that grown-ups too will en- ton where she studied elective sub- | Broadway. ..

Scores of thrilling up-to-the-minute “spot” programs were brought. to NBC listeners during 1935 by this de- partment, under the direction of Wil- liam Lundell. The variety of events covered rang- ed from howling hurricanes, ship dis- asters, “war” maneuvers, and voices from the stratosphere to the croaking of frogs in Central Park and the gurgling of the Dionne quintuplets in Canada. This year radio history was made when NBC brought to listeners the transatlantic mA&iden trip of the Normandie, actual front-line descrip- tions of the U. 8. Army war maheuv- ers at Pine Camp, the record-break- ing flight of the stratosphere balloon, the frog derby in Central Park, the Chinese New Year's celebration, an unusual “spot” broadcast on Wash- ington’s birthday, a panoramic pic- ture of New York’s waterfront at night, and a hop to various parts of the globe during the celebration | of the 90th anniversary of the United States Naval academy.

He had quit his job as cub reporter on the Ann Arbor (Mich.) Argus to sup- port Frank Keenan in The Hon, John Grigsby. At rehearsals young Mc- Intyre played his role in all seriousness believing it to be a romantic part. Imagine then his consternation at the opening when every line he uttered brought guffaws from the audience.
