THE SOAP OF BEAU TIFUL W O MEN TOOTH PASTE DOESN'T DO IT... No tooth paste gives you the proven Listerine method of stopping bad breath with antiseptic germ-killing action!

LISTERINE AMER! STOPS BAD BREATH TIMES BETTER INA ANY TOOTH PASTE

Germs are the major cause of bad breath— and no tooth paste kills germs like Listerine . instantly, by millions

The most common cause of bad breath is the fermentation of proteins which are always present in your mouth. Germs in your mouth attack proteins, cause them to ferment, and bad breath can result. The more you reduce germs in the mouth, the longer your breath stays sweeter.

Listerine Antiseptic kills germs by millions!

Listerine Antiseptic kills germs by millions on contact . . . instantly halts the fermentation which they cause. Fifteen minutes after gargling with Listerine, tests showed that germs on tooth, mouth and throat surfaces were reduced up to 96.7%; one hour afterward as much as 80%. That explains why in clinical tests Listerine averaged four times better in stopping bad breath than the tooth pastes it was tested against.

Listerine Antiseptic acts on many surfaces

You see, tooth paste depends largely on mechani- cal and masking methods of removing un- pleasant mouth odors. But Listerine acts anti- septically on many surfaces . . . the teeth, mouth, throat. It kills disease-producing germs as well as many types of odor-producing germs. No tooth paste offers proof like this of killing germs that cause bad breath.

THE NETWORKS continue to vie with each other in presenting television spectaculars, super-dupers, one-shot specials—or call them what you will The holiday season is no exception and there are many big shows on the schedule. NBC leads off their December do- ings on the fourth with a Sunday night spectacular co-starring those two talented Frenchmen, Maurice Chevalier and Marcel Marceau, the Parisian pantomime artist. Jeannie Carson is featured. A week later, December 11, on Hallmark Hall Of Fame, Maurice Evans will present "Dream Girl," starring Vivian Blaine. This will be adapted from the stage play which Betty Field did on Broadway and Betty Hutton did in the movies. The late James Dean had been signed for this date for "The Corn Is Green," but following his tragic death it was necessary to substitute "Dream Girl." "Corn Is Green" is now slated to be produced some time in January, with a male star still to be chosen. Check-up for Sid Caesar as Medic's Richard Boone gags up a backstage Producers' Showcase is offering a visit to Caesar's Hour.

But nursery rhymes for young HE ITCHING FEET of a young Texas lad have led to much Connie and Garry have a Texas twang. Ttoe-tapping in the nation's capital. Jimmy Dean, the boy from Plainview, Texas, now makes his home in Arlington, Virginia, and commutes to work at Washington's Station W MAL-TV, where he stars on Town And Country Time, weekdays at 6 P.M., and is an emcee of Town And Country Jamboree, telecast from Turner's Arena on Saturdays from 10 to 1 A.M. The daily hoedown is also seen in a filmed version over 40 stations from coast to coast. . . . Born and raised on a ranch, Jimmy learned to play the piano when he was ten, then switched to the accordion because it was more portable. When the wanderlust hit him at sixteen, Jimmy joined the Merchant Marine. At 18, he joined the Air Force at Bolling Field, just across the Potomac from Washington. Jimmy took his accordion with him and soon recruited his barracks-mates into a Western band which he dubbed The Texas Wildcats. By the time he was discharged, he'd decided he liked Washington so much he'd stay on. He formed a civilian version of his band and was soon booked into a popular night spot. . . . At this point, Jimmy met the two people who changed the course of his life. The first was blonde Sue Wittauer, whose five-feet-nine nicely matched Jimmy's six-feet-three. They met in January of 1950, were married in July of the same year. . . . The second meeting was with Connie B. Gay, whose rural music radio program had expanded into "live" touring productions. Jimmy was hired to tour Army instal- lations in the Caribbean and, in 1953, in Europe as well, all under the banner of Connie B. Gay's Town and Country Time. Next Jimmy won a radio show, then his present TV chores and a recording contract with Mercury. . . . The much-traveled hillbilly and his belle now have two children: Gary, 4, and Connie, almost 2. Jimmy often hangs a "gone fishin'" sign on the door of his ranch-style home—or else goes riding on the sorrel horse he bought last fall. Happy at home and work, easygoing Jimmy Dean is a galloping success with city folk in and around Washington, D. C. New Time ...Ne w Network ... New Sho w!

Everything about dynamic Bill Randle

is unusual—except the great

success and popularity he now enjoys

Singing stars such as Lu Ann Simms respect Bill for his keen knowledge and strong influence on musical trends.

H E' S CO ME I NI

UCCESS and popularity are the most sought-after will-o'-the-wisp partners in show business. Seldom are they easily attained and never, in the up-and-down entertainment world, do they provide any guarantee of durability. One young man who has lived and learned this is Bill Randle, popular disc jockey of Station WCBS, New York, and Station WERE, Cleveland. Currently, Bill pursues a marathon weekly schedule which includes close to forty hours of broadcasting. On Station WERE, The Bill Randle Show is heard daily from 2 to 7 P.M., Saturday from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M., and Sunday from 1 to 7 P.M. On WCBS, The Bill Randle Disc Jockey Show is heard Saturday, from 1:30 to 5:45 P.M. Since all his shows are "live," Bill has to fly to New York each Saturday morn, then wing his way back to Cleveland Saturday evening. Although his programs feature hits and upcoming hits of the day, they cannot be classed as "just another deejay show," for Bill, as one of radio's most esteemed prophets of songs and performers, adds a touch of excitement, as well as a strong measure of authority. "Cry," "Melody of Love" and "Yellow Rose of Texas" were a few of his hit predictions. Johnnie Ray, the Crew Cuts and Bill Haley are some of the top per- formers he helped "discover." A man of many interests. Bill has done a lot of living in his thirty-one years. He was born in Detroit and, after high school, studied at Wayne University one year, then decided to visit Mexico. "I went for a couple of weeks," he says, "and stayed a year." During that time, he lived with a Mexican family and studied at the University of Mexico. Returning to Detroit, Bill re-entered Wayne Uni- versity, then looked for a part-time job to pay his way. Someone had once told him he had a good voice for radio, so he decided to give it a try. When an announc- er left Station WJLB, Bill was asked to step in. Totally inexperienced, Bill says, "I really was a panic. My first ten minutes on the air, I made every mistake possible." Bill continued as an announcer until 1943, when he was given his own show, featuring jazz only. In 1946, Bill transferred to WXYZ, Detroit, where— Bill has a scientific method for making his musical selec- for the first time—"I ran across having writers, direc- tions, based on figures culled from 3000 "listening posts." tors and other people telling me what to do." It didn't take long for him to realize that ad-libbing was his forte. "I couldn't read copy," he says, "and still can't." 14 Appearing at numerous teen-age gatherings, Bill is often Bill and Anna Lee met in 1949, after she left her glasses asked to sign records he rightly said would become hits. at a jazz concert. Now, with Patricia Lee, they are three.

Consequently, he recalls, his show was "a real bomb." After doing some free-lance announcing, Bill re- sumed his jazz show at WJLB. Even though his lis- teners began requesting pop tunes, Bill insisted upon playing jazz only. "I really had an ego," he grins. So, in 1949—"the station fired me, and I went from obscurity into oblivion." Bill then decided to take a year off from radio and find out what listeners really wanted in a music show. He went to work for a chain of movie theaters which had a system for judging what its patrons wanted to see. Bill studied the system and from it devised his own method for radio-listener use. In 1950, he joined newly-opened WERE in Cleveland and put his system to work. "I knew," Bill says, "that if I hit at all I'd hit right away." Then he adds modestly, "I got lucky. I "Relaxing" at home, Bill continues to study psychology and got a good audience." sociology. He hopes to teach at a university before long. Paralleling Bill's extraordinary radio schedule are his off-the-air activities, public and private. He has staged hundreds of teen-age shows—"about one a day during the winter"—helped numerous charity drives, and originated a scholarship fund for nurses. His per- sonal interests include his wife Anna Lee and their nine-month-old daughter Patricia Lee, plus tennis, sport-car racing, and judo. The Randles live in a lake- shore apartment which features "lots of bookcases, record cabinets and more cabinets." Bill's record col- lection of mostly jazz and modern classics totals 20,000. In addition to earning his B.A. at Wayne, he studied at the University of Chicago, Western Reserve and West- ern Reserve Graduate School. Last year, he entered Western Reserve Law School, but had to quit when he began commuting to New York. Last winter, while competing in a midget auto race in Cleveland, Bill was coming around a curve at 65 miles an hour, when a front wheel tore off his car. The car lurched into the air, throwing Bill on the track, then came bounding down on top of him. "I was lucky I wasn't knocked out," he says, "but I was sore for a month." Actually, he suffered three cracked ribs. Bill's reaction to this terrifying incident, though un- usual, is typical. For he has always met every ob- stacle head-on. Come what may, Bill will be ready.

True to her name, Joy Somerville I F YOU'VE got something on your mind that needs talking out, Joy Somerville is the gal to call. You adds fun to life as she passes along news and will find her in between 12:30 and 12:45 P.M. on Homemakers Ex- change, Station WICH in Norwich, homemaking tips to UCH listeners Connecticut, and she'll lend a wise and sympathetic ear. Joy chats with her at-home audience over the tele- phone about the everyday problems they encounter. And, when you want to be informed about the world around you, she's got more welcome pointers on Joy's Country Studio, which, heard at 9:15 A.M., features fashion notes, women's news, and in- terviews with interesting celebrities. Recalling her most enjoyable talk, with Victor Jory, she says, "He looked me straight in the eye all the time we were talking and seemed genuinely interested in the things we were discussing." . . . At 25, attrac- tive Joy is secretive about any plans for matrimony. Carving out her niche in radio is, for now, uppermost in her mind. It all started when she graduated from the Katherine Gibbs School in Boston with a wish to get ((some kind of job." That turned out to be bookkeeping for WICH. Her first air appearance was on the show, After Breakfast With Ann And Jack (Mr. and Mrs. Purrington), on which local events were discussed. Joy gave a plug to a meeting of her so- rority and that got the ball rolling. She soon had her own fifteen-minute show, "a sort of a filler, but at least it was a start." Within a year, Joy attracted such a following that the Beaming the Joy is the gal with "kind of voice that makes you know management gave her the two shows there is a friendly personality behind it," as her faithful fans exclaim. she now has. . . . Actually, Joy, a native of Norwich, has come a long way in two years, even though her debut as a radio personality was un- expected. Gaining recognition was the result of a happy combination of charm, perseverance and indubit- able talent, certainly not because of ye olde family tradition. In fact, Joy's background is far from show business. Her folks are in the shoe business. An only child, Joy lives with her par- ents and enjoys "frilly" home cook- ing. . .. It's not all work for Joy—even though work be such fun. Her in- terests are limitless. Dancing, dating, bowling, painting and sculpture rate high on her leisure list. Traveling also intrigues her. A most memor- able trip was to Mexico. The grace of the toreador in the one bullfight she saw particularly impressed her. . . . Joy's future, like her personal- ity, is bright. She's now toying with the idea of television. After that, she may get around to putting into actual practice the many household hints she's picked up as Connecticut's Guests come from far, and from many fields, to visit Joy. Jim Trimm popular homemaker of the air. is in the publishing business, Jack Porter is a waiter in New London. NE W DESIGNS FOR LIVING

HE DAY Pinky Lee's schoolteacher asked her class Tto discuss the Statue of Liberty, Pinky, as usual, was one of the first to raise his hand. Pinky was always a good student; what he didn't know about the Statue of Liberty wasn't written in his history book. But, when the teacher called on him, the class's laughter was even greater than usual. The kids always laughed at Pinky: First, because of his size—he was tiny for his age; second, because of his lisp—and "Statue of Liberty" was a tongue-twister. But, to ten-year-old Pinky, the kids' laughter was a heart-twister. After class, he disconsolately shuffled down the aisle of desks to his teacher. The hint of tears in his eyes almost made a fool of his attempt at bravery as he said, "I love my (Continued on page 82)

Here is the Arthur

By GEORGE MARTINSON

HERE have been so many questions about Arthur Godfrey. And so many conflicting Tanswers. The way people discuss this strictly fabulous redhead, you'd think he was the key character in a mystery novel. Did Godfrey do it? Or didn't he? Just one thing seems sure: The man makes headlines —not only as a spectacularly successful showman, but as a person. And it's only human nature to wonder why one man, more than another, should become inter- nationally famous and—let's face it—inter- nationally controversial. Arthur himself would be the first to say there is no "Godfrey mystery." No one in show business has shared more of himself with his public. By now, we should know him as well as we know our own family. Obviously, however, we don't. There is more to the man than meets the eye or ear. For all his impulsive speech on the air, for all his outgoing friendliness, there is more to Arthur Godfrey than has ever appeared in the headlines. Arthur is a very smart man. No one can be around him very long without realizing that here is a superior motor which is al- ways in high gear, and usually about fifty The McGuire Sisters can testify that being a "little Godfrey" miles ahead of anything else in the race.

Life is a wonderful adventure By FREDDA BALLING for Ozzie and Harriet, David FIE POPULAR PROGRA M known as The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet is legitimately a family affair. and Ricky—and all the Nelsons TDavid and Ricky of the script are the David and Eric whose birth certificates designate them as authentic Nelsons, a fact unique in radio or TV domestic drama. The children on other shows seldom belong to the program's parents, and the parents themselves seldom belong to each other. But that is not the end to the family participation of the Nelson clan. Ozzie's brother, Don, is one of the writers on the show, and Don's wife (whom he met at the studio when the program was being done on radio) is Barbara Eiler, an actress often seen sharing the Nelson adventures. Last Christmas, Don's and Barbara's two small daughters turned in fine performances as Nelson relatives, and may become more involved in the show as David and Ricky are claimed by such outside commitments as military service. After the show every Friday night, the Hollywood Nelson clan gathers around the telephone to call the New Jersey Nelson clan. Ozzie's older brother, Alfred, is a dentist by profession and successful practice, but he is also a part-time script writer. He has supplied several scripts for the show, plus a weekly spatter of ideas, many of which have hit the spot. Even Ozzie's mother gets into the spirit of the thing.

As for Harriet's mother, she has been written into frequent Nelson scripts, but must be consulted about the actress who is to portray her. So far, her favorite is Lurene Tuttle. Much of Mrs. Hilliard's characteristic dialogue and plot surprises are sup- plied by Don Nelson, who lived at Mrs. Hilliard's home while he was a student at the University of Southern• California. A typical incident—precious grist for a writer—took place after Don had married and moved away. He telephoned one day to learn whether his Navy check had arrived. Mrs. Hilliard said, "No—but I hear the postman now. Hold the wire and I'll see what he has for us." Don held . . . and held . . . and held. Three min- utes, five minutes, seven minutes. . . It occurred to him that Mrs. Hilliard might have suffered a fall, that the person at the door had not been the post- man but some thug! He jumped into his car and scorched to the Hilliard home. And here, standing amid her roses while engaged in a fascinating con- versation with her neighbor, was Mrs. Hilliard. She broke into a surprised and delighted smile Phone calls are important in the Nelson home—and not just when she spotted Don, waved and called, "Hi!" when David's making dates! They keep in touch with the folks Don's instant relief was displaced by affectionate exasperation. "Can you tell me," he asked smoothly, back East in long-distance chats.

Ozzie's standard answer has always been, "No, not really. It's fictionized drama, as most situation-comedy shows have to be." Recently, some combination of circumstances pushed Ozzie a notch too far and he had to let off steam. He announced, (Continued on page 68)

Musk is Charita's awn favorite relaxatian.

By PHILIP CHAPMAN

OT LONG AGO, the young wife named Bertha Bauer in The Guiding Light N spent fifteen minutes before the cam- eras arguing with her husband—and, later, a school principal—over whether or not her son Mike should skip a grade in school. It was a well-written, well-acted bit in which Bertha was intensely opposed to Mike's being shifted out of his age-group, but changed her mind completely before the end of her session with the principal. Having finished her stint for that day, she left the studio and caught a cab for home. Her name was still Bauer, although the "Bertha" of The Guiding Light automatical- ly became the "Charita" of real life. And, as she rode along, she reflected that she really had learned a lot from that day's script, especially since she had a nine-year- old boy of her own—also named Mike. Oh, not that she was likely to run into such a difficulty with her own Mike, at least not right away. Mike was getting along fine in St. Ann's Academy for Boys, a private school in which Charita believed implicitly. But, if the time ever came, she'd be better

A chance to get away and think, a chance to forget the busy hum of the studios and to lead a strictly private life. At home, in the East Seventies, she found her mother and her son, Michael, in the kitchen. He was bolting an after-school snack, so he, could "go and play with Pete." She looked at him with pride in her eyes. She had done well here, so (Continued on page 79)

F ALL THE ARTS M eant to give man pleasure, none O is quite so personal as music—and the music of Percy Faith is as intimate as your own fireside. This music gets into your heart and into your dreams. It can bring an old memory to life or remind you to take flowers home to your wife. It is music full of lights —the lights of stars and carnival bulbs, of sunsets and Christmas candles, of love and hope. But, no matter what the charm or passion, it is music noted for great beauty, simplicity and dignity. Percy Faith is a composer-conductor—which means Little Lisa Beth muses over the piano.

For those who lean to a Marlon Brando type, a T-shirted, unshaven male in paint-stained p6nts, Percy fills the bill—on weekends, or when he's fishing in Canada. If you would want your Faith civilized and charming, that is Percy all of the time. If, however, you like a touch of glamour, Perc has a speedboat for tearing around Long Island Sound and a sport car for tooling down back roads. But if it's a musician with temper you prefer—a conductor on the podium who fairly shakes thunder out of the sky with his baton, whose voice whips musicians into a musical frenzy—it ain't Faith. No, sir. Says a musician: "Picture a sunny day on the beach. Picture a man half-dozing in the sun, listening to the surf, indifferent to everything about him. That's what Perc looks like when he's conducting." This is the actual picture: He perches on top of a tall stool, one knee crossed over the other, the music spread over a horizontal stand. His baton is a short yellow pencil. (He conducts equally well with red or • green.) His makeshift baton never stirs more than six inches in any direction. In a polite, casual voice he tells the brass to remove the dot from a quarter note or turn a seventh into a ninth. And then they go on. Of the hundred people or so in the studio— including several dozen musicians, a dozen singers, four or five soloists, technicians, agency representatives, producer and assistants—Percy Faith is the least hurried, the most amiable and the most relaxed. ("Up there he looks exactly as if he didn't give a darn, and he is one of the most gifted conductors in the country.") Perc is unquestionably the favorite conductor of musicians, for he refuses to be anything less than reasonable and courteous. He does not ruffle, anger or madden. When he first came to the states from Canada to take over the famous Carnation Contented Hour, the orchestra paid him a tribute which is unprecedented in the business. As a body, they sent a telegram to the sponsor saying simply: "This is our boy." Percy Faith is conductor of The Woolworth Hour. heard over CBS Radio, Sunday, from 1 to 2 P.M.

A eaulifut g(ctir R C K THE RE AR E TH REE BREC K SHA MPOOS FOR THREE DIFFERENT HAIR CON DITIONS You will enjoy using a Breck Shampoo because it cleans thoroughly, yet is gentle enough in action to be used on little children. There are three Breck Shampoos. One Breck Shampoo is for dry hair. Another Breck Shampoo is for oily hair. A third Breck Shampoo is for normal hair. The next time you buy a shampoo, select the Breck Shampoo for your individual hair condition. A Breck Shampoo leaves your hair clean, shining and naturally beautiful.

The Three Breck Shampoos are available at Beauty Shops, Drug Stores, Department Stores and wherever cosmetics are sold.
