[Premiere; Takes Philip Morris Playhouse on Broadway's timeslot]
52-12-06 Racine Journal Times
My Little Margie, television's summer wonder child, makes its debut on CBS radio at 7:30 Sunday evening. The show will feature Charles Farrell as the widower Vern Allbright, with Gale Storm as his daughter, Margie. This is the same cast which did the television show. The first episode in the new radio series finds Vern criticising Margie's boy friend, Freddie, for his enthusiasm for unemployment.
Anxious to make a good impression, Freddie goes job hunting. It would be a safe guess that he was better off unemployed. To make way for the new program, the Playhouse on Broadway moves to a spot at 8 p.m. Wednesdays.

Pinwheel Mentality
"My Little Margie," the darling with the pinwheel mentality who keeps her widower father on a laugh-padded anxious scat for the entertainment of the nation's radio listerns, will make her 100th broadcast on CBS Radio at 7:30 p.m. today.
The fiasco in which she and sundry other contributors to the program's merriment will find themselves involved concerns Margie's sudden desire to become a policewoman and her father's hair-breadth escape from under the wheels of the juggernaut of justice.
Gales Storm is Margie and Charles Farrell is her father.
Since the program went on the air, Miss Storm has served a term as mayor of Sherman Oaks, Calif., her co-star, Farrell, as mayor of Palm Springs. |

The sponsor Just sent congrats to the cast and crew of "My Little Margie" with news that product sales are soaring. So it looks as though the option for the show which was panned by the critics when it started, will be picked up again When it's due next May. I asked Gale Storm how long she could play a girl who's under 21. She foresees the time when it'll be "My Old Margie." But that won't be soon. She still looks like a debutante. |

Gale Storm is getting out of her "My Little Margie" video characterization for the first time in four years by starring as a secretary whose borrowed mink coat brings a case of mistaken identity. It's a tele-play called "Mink Does Something" for a weekly TV dramatic series.
55-07-03 Council Buffs Nonpareil
The radio networks are departing sharply from the old pattern of big one-hour and half-hour nighttime shows at fixed times each week.
More casualties can be expected among the last ditch holdouts in that category as radio adjusts to make a stronger stand against TV's raids on evening audiences.
Among the old radio reliables who may not be back next season are Jack Benny and Bob Hope, busy with TV, and the radio version of My Little Margie. Some who are on a weekly half-hour basis may change to what the industry calls strip shows 15 minutes at the same time each evening Monday through Friday.

Gale Storm continues to amaze me. She looks like a young girl, yet last week she celebrated 14 years of marriage to Lee Bonnell, by whom she has three tall sons.
Gale leaves for New York Sunday to do the Perry Como show, and when she returns she'll report to Hal Roach, Jr. for a new television show.
"My Little " Margie," which enjoyed several years of success; has gone the way of most TV serials after a certain period of look and listen.
