GRAND OLE OPRY 
(Continued from Page One) 
It wasn’t until about two years after the first 
broadcast that “the Solemn Old Judge” him- 
self gave the name to the show which has 
since sky-rocketed to fame. 
In the beginning the show was called the 
“WSM Barn Dance” and it followed a net- 
work program of classical music. One night 
after the show had opened up with Deford 
Bailey and his harmonica, the “Judge” said: 
“For the past hour we have been listening to 
music taken largely from Grand Opera, but 
from now on we will present “The Grand Ole 
Opry.” And that’s what it has been called 
ever since. 
Since those first days the Grand Ole Opry 
has grown tremendously in both size and 
strength. It has been extended from one 
hour to four and a half; and the entertainers 
who appear every Saturday night now num- 
ber about seventy-five 
Probably the best-known of all the stars 
of the Grand Ole Opry is young man from 
Union County, Tennessee. The name——Roy 
Acuff, of course. Roy joined the Opry early 
in 1938 and since that time his rise in the 
entertainment world has been remarkable. 
For the first year or so things were not easy. 
Roy and his boys experienced all the hard 
luck that seems to dog the footsteps of any 
young artist. And that, along with his 
naturally soft heart, probably accounts a 
great deal for the troubie and expense which 
Roy will go to in order to help out a fellow 
musician. Hundreds of them will always 
remember Roy Acuff with gratitude and 
affection. 
Soon, however, Roy Acuff’s reputation 
began growing by leaps and bounds. Many 
of those who have known him or have 
heard him on the air have tried to de- 
termine the secret of his success. And 
most all seem to agree that the chief factor 
is his heart-warming sincerity. Young and 
old alike can sense through his voice alone 
the fine character and the warm-hearted 
gcodness which have so impressed all who 
have known him. 
Roy now lives with his wife, Mildred, and 
their son, Roy Neal, just out of Nashville, on 
the banks of the Cumberland River. Roy’s 
home is built in log cabin style and the wel- 
come mat is always out, because Roy and 
his family like to have a lot of visitors. 
This year Farmers Wholesale Nursery 
began a series of broadcasts which immedi- 
ately became one of the most popular pro- 
grams ever originated at WSM. “Supper 
With Roy Acuff” was broadcast directly 
from Roy’s home and the family and friends 
who gathered around every night joined in 
the fun. Even Roy’s dog, Brownie, did his 
share, barking excitedly into the microphone 
when a fast fiddle or accordion tune was 
played. 
Farmers Wholesale Nursery is proud of 
its association with the many Grand Ole 
Opry stars which it has sponsored and is 
looking forward to next season when a new
