The new Uncle Natchel radio program, sponsored by the Natural ^ilean Nitrate folks, is rapidly winning a large audience. Broad casts began late in November and will continue every week through out the winter and spring, over leading Southern stations. Uncle Natchel, played by Frank Wilson, one of America’s leading colored actors, takes the star role in this half-hour entertainment, as he has in all previous programs sponsored by the Natural Chilean Nitrate people. His homely “natchel” philosophy is an im portant part of the broadcast, and the nature story which he tells in every program is a novel feature. In the dramatic part of the pro gram, Helen Claire, an Alabama girl who has won star rating on Broadway and whose work in the films has attracted favorable at tention, plays the feminine lead Her characterizations change with each broadcast. The public has been quick to sense the naturalness cf the Chil ean Nitrate program. That quality is one of the distinguishing fea tures of the entertainment. And much favorable comment has been heard on the authenticity with which the all-Southern cast por trays the Old South dramatizations that make up much of each broad cast. The role of Sonny Miller, who is Uncle Natchel’s charge and con stant companion, is played by Ed die Ryan, Jr., young son of Vir ginia parents, who currently is playing in the stage success French Without Tears, in New York. Other members of the cast are Geoffrey Bryant, Leslie Bingham, 5.
