But the farmer, himself, has never had the time or the place to talk back to the rest of the nation. Beginning this month, the farmer gets both time and place through the facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting System. CBS an- nounces the inauguration of three new programs, by and for the farmer, yet informative and entertaining to city and coun- try listener alike. These programs are designed to make radio more truly representative of the entire nation radio serves. They will bring to America the voice of the American farmer. " The Farmer Takes the Mike" The corn farmer, the wheat farmer, the cotton and tobacco farmer, cattle rancher and dairy man, truck farmer and duck farmer -from every rural section of the United States, every type of rural American will be "cast" in THE FARMER TAKES THE MIKE. This new program will be given its initial broadcast July 17th, to take the air regularly thereafter on Sundays, 4 to 4:30 P. M. Farm owners, farm wives, farm tenants, and farm children will gather round the CBS microphone to tell the nation about their fun, their worries, their jobs and their ambitions. Opening in Iowa's corn belt (Des Moines) the series will cover different rural localities each week. Other points of origin, according to present schedule, include CBS studios in Dallas, Birmingham, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Syracuse, Louisville, Los Angeles, Springfield, Vermont, and Portland, Oregon. www.americanradiohistory.com ¡Can farmer, .. on CBS! "R. F D. No. l" On July 4, Irene Beasley opened a new farm - home series on CBS from "R.F.D. No. 1" New York City, the only official rural free delivery box in Manhattan. Her listeners - Columbia's vast audience of farm women - have already become familiar with the program's daily schedule, Monday through Friday, 12:15 to 12:30 P. M. Miss Beasley's own farm -home background largely determines the pro- gram's selection of entertainment and information. In addition, rural lis- teners will be invited to the microphone whenever they visit New York. "Four- Corners Theatre" Up goes the curtain July 19 on the first of a weekly series of rural dramas, presented by CBS at 8 o'clock Tuesday evenings, in the FOUR CORNERS THEATRE.

    American Heritage Center

    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

    Antonio Sabato Jr. -- Bio

    Antonio Sabato Jr. -- Bio Antonio Sabato Jr. once overlooked Time Square from a 90-foot billboard dressed only in his Calvin Klein underwear. The iconic fashion designer hired the actor to be the company’s first celebrity model since Mark Wahlberg and it was shot by famed photographer, Herb Ritts. That combination caused a sensation when the photos appeared in every magazine and hundreds of billboards throughout the world. Since then, Antonio Sabato, Jr. has had a long and varied career which recently included starting in the upcoming film One Nation Under God, guest-starring on roles on ABC’s, Castle, ABC Family’s Baby Daddy, as well as on Bones and Hot In Cleveland. He was seen in Investigation Discovery’s Heartbreakers, FX’s The League and you can now tune in every weekday to see him host his own syndicated renovation show, Fix It & Finish It. The half hour program takes viewers around the country to find homes, cabins, RV’s and even tree houses that need a makeover both inside and out. Antonio and his team of contractors and designers go in and do their magic all in one day with renovation results that astound and that also change lives. While shooting Fix It and Finish It, Antonio was asked to join the cast of Dancing With The Stars (19) – an offer he couldn’t refuse – so he has been demolishing houses by day and dancing with pro-partner, Cheryl Burke by night. He has managed to keep up a hectic schedule and delight fans of both shows with his dancing and handy, household hints.

    DIALECT SONGS AMONG THE DUTCH Oh, I am bound for Wisconsin, that=s right among the Dutch, And as for conversation, it won=t be very much, But by signs and by signals I=ll make them understand That the spirit of good nature lies in this Irishman. So went Michael Cassius Dean=s version of AThe Roving Irishman” (Dean 1922 :124-125). The Dutch invoked do not hail from the Netherlands, but from German-speaking realms, with Adutch” deriving from Adeutsch.” As an Irish American, Dean likely learned this traditional song during his stint as an Upper Midwestern lumberjack and Great Lakes sailor. Perhaps he docked a time or two in Sheboygan where, according to a poem from that Wisconsin city, St. Patrick not only visited Irish Americans but also encountered Germans aplenty. Before returning to Ireland, the good saint Atook some bratwurst and kuchen to eat along the way” (Hachten 1981:106). Growing up in an Irish American family in northern Wisconsin, I too ate my share of Abratwurst and kuchen,” while going to school with assorted Birkenmeiers, Schaubslagers, Schieffers, Schneiders, and Tschernachs. We kids all spoke the same Aup north” English, but our grandparents in many cases might=ve resorted to Asigns and signals,” perhaps when passing a dish at a church picnic, a threshing dinner, or a country school social. And just as roving Irishmen cast songs about such experiences in an immigrant=s brogue, so also did Adutch” or German men and women perform dialect songs about their inter-cultural encounters. Dialect songs concerning the nation=s newcomers are widespread and long-lived in American life, yet the scholarly conversation on them is scant and scattered.

However, many within the television industry are now predicting that the genre will fade into obscurity after two decades of declining ratings.
