Radio Station KTBC has added
another CBS program to it's Sun-
day broadcast schedule, ''The Adven-
tures of Ozzie and Harriet," heard
from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m.
Husband-wife combinations are
hardly an innovation in radio, but
the team of Ozzie Nelson ami Har-
riet Milliard is destined to provide
something new in the way of enter-
tainment during their new weekly
Sunday series. "The Adventures ot
Ozzie and Harriet" is actually a mir-
ror held U) to real life, for in men-
early days the popular bandleader
and hs charming wife shared many
of the experiencies of the fictional
pair.
In this new KTBC show, the
"Ozzie and Harriet" comedy duo are
presented as an orchestra leader and
his vocalist wife who, weary of the
tiresome grind of one night stands
and train hops all over the country,
attempt to settle down and live a
more peaceful and normal life. The
real Ozzie and Harriet agree em-
phatically that the life of a musician
is truly hectic.
Hedda Hopper, Hollywood column-
ist, whose new radio program,
"Hedda Hopper's Hollywood" (KTB(
CBS, Mondays, 10:15 to 10:30 p.m.)
recently went on the air, got into
pictures by covering up her glamor.
In the middle twenties, she got a
chance for a part in a picture. But
the leading lady, was jealous of glam-
or girls, and demanded the right to
pass on rll Members of the cast.
Hedda dressed her dowdiest. The
star passed her with never a thought.
Then Hedda went to her courturier
and spent every cent she had on
beautiful clothes for the picture.
When she turned up at the stndio, the
star nearly died of rage. Hedda
stole the picture to such an extent
that the producer took Ler to Holly-
wood where ahe made 110 more
movies for bin.
What is probably a record in long-
lived gin rummy pames h held jointly
by Walter Greaza, who plays the
Inspector on the "Crime Doctor"
(KTBC-CBS, Sundays, 7:30 p.m.) and
