Including PROGRAM FINDER Feature JESSICA DRACONETTE

Born in mystic India, Jessica showed the foresight credited to the people of her native land when she deserted the stage five years ago at the height of a musical comedy career to join the staff of NBC. Because of the millions who now follow her work in the excellent Cities Service broadcasts, it is interesting to note that her first taste of success was also before an unseen audience. It was in Max Reinhardt's play, "The Miracle." She was "an angel's voice," and sang her role far up in the wings, hidden from sight. Characteristics: five feet two—light, wavy hair —eyes an unusual shade of blue (she calls it "plaid") —weighs only 100 pounds. ©£1B 1983 >

Twelve painting concerns turned it down at any price—and, if you ask us, for very good reasons. In the first place, since you can't paint a transmitter while the station is on the air, the only available working hours are between 2 A. M. and 6 A. M. The tower is 655 feet high. It is seven inches across at the base

and, at 262 feet up, it is 28 feet across. With such a shape to shinny up, each of the four painters takes an hour to ascend and an hour to .X)5)V descend, limiting the daubing to two "l+'s my life's ambition to eat a radio crooner" hours. September PAUL WHITEMAN'S // MIRACLE WHIP" SHOW

Presumably Amos 'n' Andy's sponsors have the same notion.
