"Charlie and Jessie" is to star Donald Cook and Florence Lake in the title roles and represents an unusual raBio development in that listener enthusiasm for one type of program resulted in "part" of a series actually outgrowing its "parent."

Donald Cook and Diana Bourbon were the original Mr. and Mrs. Mc Govern. Author Cooper has expressed the suspicion that "Charlie and Jessie" were "married in a madhouse and walked down an aisle festooned with haywire." "Charlie" was a young and earnest advertising man but a fairly fran tic husband. Jessie was an enthus iastic but somewhat scratter brain ed housewife.

The story of "Charlie and Jessie" McGovern was an immediate hit. Within a few months the demand for more of their daffy dramas re sulted in establishing them as a regular thrice weekly show each Monday, Wednesday and Friday episode being a complete story in itself. Screen star Florence Lake remembered for her film roles in "To Mary, With Love." "Oualitv Street," "Love In a Bungalow," and iviet iviy Love Again" is to portray "Jessie." Miss Lake takes the role created by Diana Bourbon who recently was appointed director of the new Friday evening CBS dramotic favorite "Campbell Playhouse." Donald Cook, most recently co star with Gertrude Lawrence in the roadway hit, "Skylark," continues as "Charlie," in the new "Charlie and Jessie" series. 'Missing Heirs' Court" Marks Triple Event On Tuesday at 8 p. m.

over WHP the Court of Missing Heirs will celebrate three occasions its first anniversary on the air for the sponsor its renewal contract by the same sponsor and the restoration of $326,350 to unclaimed estates to rightful owners during its twelve months on the air. The amount restored by the program went to 40 heirs uncovered out of 150 cases broad cast. Most of the money went to needy people. A crippled pencil peddler ill in Pittsburgh a Chicago butcher's clerk with an invalid wife and a mortgage on his home a WMCA telephone operator in New York a Texan living on relief in Ft. Worth a practical nurse out of a job a night watchman in a woolen mills in Connecticut.

These are typical of the rightful heirs turned up by tne jourt of Mising Heirs. One of the largest estates was $45,000 which went to David Barry of Long Beach, Calif He was a business man and needed it. One of the smallest estates restored was the $1200 which went to Miss Frances Lippman, of Little Falls, N. last week but now this week, it turns out that the Court's smallest restoration may perhaps be its largest for further investigation turned up a trust fund of $100,000 which will probably go to Miss Lippman after settlement of a dispute. Jim Waters and Al Shebal are the watchdogs of the program.

They conceived it, sold it, they search the probate court records for unclaimed estates and they write the program. It is directed by John Loveton and presented by one of radio's first stock companies which includes such stellar actors as Betty Garde, Jeannette Nolan, John Mclntyre, Ken Delmar, Kingsley Coulton, and Agnes Moorhead. Musical background is furnished by Elsifl Thompson at the orfian..
