. (Editor's Note; If you've ever
wondered how a radio comedian
puts his show together, here's
an inside look Into broadcast
ing studio at rehearsal time.) '
By Cynthia Lewry
AP Newsfeatures Writer
NEW YORK Fred Allen, th
flat-voiced comedian with the as
tringent wit, uses left-over gags
the way a thrifty housewife makes
a hash from he remains of the
Sunday roast.
"The script always run over
time," the comedian explained af
ter a rehearsal of his half hour
radio show. "We have to cut it to
fit, but we never throw, a way any
thing we can possibly use. Of
stuff that is purely topical. Take
Noise Abatement week gags. You
couldn't use those after Noise
Abatement week has passed."
But except for such humor, tiec'
firmly onto the time element, al
most everything cut .from one
week's show is pretty apt to appear
in a subsequent one.
Take, for instnnce, the dialogue
between Allen and his announcer
Kenny Delmar, on a recent Sun
day show. Delmar remarked that a
chemist hajLpredicted whiskey of
the future could be made of wood
Then ensued some chatter, cli
maxed by Allen's quip: "When n
man picks up his cocktail he'll see
a knothole in his martini,"
This bit, Allen explained, was
salvaged from an earlier show. The
sequence, however, was much long
er in the rehearsal and contained
cracks about people calling "tim
ber" instead of "bottoms up," and
about drinks really being on the
house. Presumably these jokes will
are the best gags and when music
is more important."
In the show under discussion,
the guest star was Oracle Fields.
When it' came time to bob the
script, a couple of pages of lines
between Allen and Miss , Fields
were taken out but all of Miss
Field's musical numbers remained
intact.
"In this case," Allen said, "we
couldn't cut down on the music.
But we could take out a whole
sequence, or bob a line here and
there."
i One rule in writing shows is
hard and fast: they are always too
long, pot too short. The writers
Would rather cut after a reiienisil
than have to natch up and pull
out a show with new material.

Allen's rehearsal ran over al
most five minules in that instance,
and 'plenty of material was
chopped from the script before it
went on the air. Most of it will
show up on late programs.
One gag which hit the cutting

the character Titus Moody. Allen
told him he looked sour.

mouth tastes like my tongue's been
dilled."
That was deleted in the inter
ests of time, but only temporarily.
Mrs. Nussbaum, another Allen
character, was temporarily depriv
ed of a couple of lines. They are
timely, so it wouldn't be surprising
if they showed up next week. The
deleted lines ran like this:
J Utti Nussbaum: "By me, in the
toodjif am a rustic."
i Allen: "Really?"
Mrs. N.: "I could be Nature
Boy's sister, Nature Girl."
The reference to the popular
song, coupled with Mrs. Nuss
baum's accent, drew a smile from
the pianist a reaction carefully
noted by Allen.
"Allen spends about 60 hours a
week getting that half-hour pro
gram together," one of his aides
said. "Fred 'and his three writers
start working on the script more
than a week in advance. They
read newspapers from all over
and get around. They start with a
rough sketch. By the Thursday be
fore the show, it's finished and
usually it runs minutes overtime."
Allen couldn't explain exactly
how the job of molding the script
to the 30-minute time allotment
was accomplished.
"That's a comedian's business,"
he said. MYou have to know which

CHIMNEY ROCK, N. C. All
the Santa Clauses in the world can
practice their Christmas chimney
maneuvers this year in the biggest
chimney in America and do it
easily, with the aid of a spank
new, easy-gliding elevator.
A substantial number of the be
nevolent gentlemen will do their
chimney scaling practising this
spring and summer in various dir
guises as fathers, husbands, uncles,
grandads, who with their kin, will
be just plain tourists and sight
seers visiting this unusual granite
monolith which rises abruptly
from the shores of Lake Lure.
Heretofore, they have had to make
the ascent the hard way up some
800 steps, a job so laborious that
the Chimney Rock owners decided
it would be good business as well
as merciful to put in the elevator.
