oropnecu.... The date is June 1961 ... as usual, the television set is blaring in the background . . . a familar face catches our eye so we sit down to watch . . . The news is on. The announcer, Charlie Cahill, is telling about the sensational flight to the moon and back. This trip was the result of the efforts of Michael Malamud, the multimillionaire and part-time brain surgeon, who financed the trip, Dick Thorpe, chief engineer, Don Wyman, designer and builder, and Jim Fraser, whose mathematical computations made this trip possible ... As this picture fades from the screen we see the current star of Stage, Screen and Melodrama, Beth Lyon, who is starring in that epic film An American Comedy, written by Bill Riddell . . . Her leading man is the matinee idol Everett Armstrong . . . The cameraman was, of course, Dick Woodworth. The next program is a telecast direct from the Lincoln Raceway . . . The favorite in the main race is Malcolm (jet-propelled) Stone . . . Parker Spooner holds the current championship . . . After this race we switch to the All-American Football game at the Dust Bowl. The team is full of Weston Alumni; Bucky Schofield, Bob Barker, Bob Toland, Don Mason and Dave Mallett. The score is 72-6 . . . This face looks familiar, yes, it ' s Bill Beckman, recently elected President of the United States and Jane Morse, Vice- President. Jean Cahill and Gladys MacDonald have opened a secretarial school which guarantees perfect typing and shorthand in only six weeks . . . They are one of the sponsors for the new musical review starring golden-throated Norma Thompson. The M.C. for the show is Julius Mueller III . . . It is rumored that Barbara Howell, manager of the Met, wants to sign her up. The guest stars tonight include lone Lufkin and Carol Dowd, that great new comic team, and the famous model, Jane Gray . . . The new program called Meet the Author is tonight starring Mary Alice Long and Grace Denton, co¬ authors of the new best selling magazine, Peek . . . Marjorie Jacques and Barbara Regan are being interviewed by Eleanor Wales about their new hotel in Texas with its ultra-modern decorations done by Rachel Davis. Also with them in the studio is Anne Marshall who has recently won the Peace Prize for 1960 for her work settling our prob¬ lems with Russia . . . Dick MacLeod, up-and-coming politician, and his opponent for Mayor of Boston, Gerald Red Head Mackay, the pint-sized alderman from South Boston. They ' re signing off now, but be sure to tune in for Tom Griggs at 6:35 tomorrow and his Breakfast Extra, for people who eat. This concludes today ' s programs. 23
