The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-31

Tuesday, at 7:3O p. m. Ronald Coleman will come to the air lanes with an adoption of the book which has been called the rock and refuge of mankind - the Bible, on his weekly program Everything for the Boys" The title of the adoption is This Living Book" as was men, toned in this column little while ago. The title was chosen by writer producer Arch Oboler because he envisioned the Bible, not as some thing detached from time and space, but as actually a part of the throb- ping and vital life of these tense years
 Two parallel stories will be told. Narrator of the Bible episodes will be Coleman himself, while specially chosen cast will portray the life of an American boy-his birth, his youth and young manhood-depict- ing how amazingly this boys life, and all lives, are mirrored in the TeSta- ments.
 Also Tuesday at 2:45 p. m. the Lenten favorite Christian Dost Thou See Them" will be a choral feature of Hymns of All Churches" And on Wednesday at the same time the same choir, in hymnal arrangement of the story of Christ's suffering and death and his tri- umphal resurrection will offer the Lenten medley "TiS Midnight and on Olives Brow" "In the Hour of Trial" and "Stabat Mater"
 Turning to a less secular vein, Ed die Bowling will salute 9 U s. air. lines on Wide Horizons the day after tomorrow, Sunday, April 2, at 4 p. m. over the Mutual chain, when Colonel Edgar s. Gorrell, of Wash ington, D. C., president of the Air Transport Association, will be guest speaker.
 Helen Parker. g, of Memphis, Tenn, will be featured by Bowling as the most talented emplOye of the various airlines which submitted en- trants from their I"rsonnel in a competition to select the "voice of the skies" for this broadcast of Wide Horizons. An attractive brunette, Miss Parker, secretary to an execu- tive of the Chicago and Southern Airlines, has been singing on the air locally from Memphis since the age of 12. She is regional finalist in the Hour of Charm search for the Undiscovered Voice of America" Casey Jones, veteran ace and Wide Horizons aviation commenta- tor, will describe the huge war per- formance of the country's airlines, which are carrying as much freight and passengers as in peacetime with half the number of planes they had before the United States entered the war.
 Casey will introduce Col. orrell, who will predict what the future of air transport will mean in closer unity and new opportunities for American farmers, merchants, work men, housewives and children.
 Thinking as was 8 few minutes ago of Ronald Coleman, Paul Shell, who is enjoying the balmy Califor- nia sun while we whistle and wait for Spring, sends me an item which fits in with my thoughts. "So help me-" sez Paul, "this actually hap pened." Well, assuming you have salt on the premises and can spare grain, I'll take chance and pass it on.
 This, my countrymen, IS Paul Shells story, and I don't doubt he's ready to stick to 1t.
 With Ronald Colman playing @ ghost during one of his recent "Ev- erything for the Boys" rehearsals, (Paul Sez) there was 8 weak flicker of the studio lights and the stage went dark.
 When the lights came on again and the shrieks had subsided, stand ing there, grinning from ear to ear, was Red Skelton. Red Swore that Washington Post, the Nation and other periodicals.
