To Be Heard on Vallee |

By RALPH NORMAN

Frequent radio adaptations and | previews of current movies, starring | prominent film actors, have evoked |cutspoken criticism directed at the | networks for their pilfering of Holly« | wood talent. But so far I have heard no coms plaints emanating from Broadway for radio’s invasion of the legitimate theater, although broadcasts of scenes from current plays, featuring Broadway casts, are heard more and niore frequently. Kate Smith and Rudy Vallee led the Broadway invasion and others doubtless will follow. Radio never

has been a respecter of the other

fellow’s ideas. ® ” ”

Kate will bring to her CBS-

Good Radio Music

By JAMES

THRASHER

‘ | We have heard the Beethoven Fourth Symphony twice to my knowland sweet — the faith of someone aqge already this season, first on one of the early New York Philharmonic-

at the opening Indianapolis Symp Schaefer's direction.

the belief that in someone’s | Symphony broadcasts, with John Barbirolli conducting, and shortly after

hony Orchestra concert, under Mr.

Now it is to be played again—via radio—by the Boston Symphony Orchestra tonight. And that, if anyone should ask you, is hearing the

Fourth tolerably often in one season.

Conductors’ program building, however, seems definitely to go in cycles. We may expect an outbreak of the

| Beethoven Fifth, Rimsky-Korsakov's

“Scheherazade” and the Liszt E Flat Piano Concerto again before long. We've had them before. Serge Koussevitzky will conduct the Boston players in the broadcast tonight. It begins at 7:45 o'clock on NBC and WIRE picks up the last half hour at 8 o'clock.

Also on the broadcast part of the |

program will be the violin concerto of Alban Berg, composed, if memory serves, shortly before the Austrian composer's death a year or so ago. Louis Krasner will be the soleist, and this should give you a chance to try out some of Deems Taylor's prescriptions for listening to modern music, n n Rudolph Ganz, who is to be in Indianapolis twice next month, once as soloist at the local symphony orchestra’s closing concert and again during the National Federation of Music Clubs convention (as one of a four-piano ensemble with the orchestra, if present plans go through) will be soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra tomorrow. The broadcast, as usual, is to be at 2 p. m. over WFBM.

Mr. Ganz is to do his part to make make it an afternoon of enjoyable, tuneful and not too weighty music As pianist, he is to be heard in the Fifth Concerto of Saint-Saens with the orchestra, Then he will conduct his own suite for orchestra, “Animal Pictures,”y

Eugene Goossens will conduct the | remainder of the program, which | seems to maintain the light-hearted nature, since it will include Wil[liam Walton's clever “Facade” and | Goldmark’s overture, “Im ¥Fruehl- | ing. | Still remembering the | “Variations on a Nursery | Which pianist Arthur Loesser played | with Arthur Rodzinski and the New | York Philharmonic-Symphony last Sunday, one might compare that composer with Saint-Saens as regards facility.

Saint-Saens possessed the gift of writing in the style of most of the great composers—a gift which Dohnanyi also displays so amusinglv in the “Variations” mentioned above. Saint-Saens had what was | termed “the unfortunate faculty of assimilation,” which kept him from the ranks of the elect despite his great technical mastery. Dohnanyi seems likewise blessed or cursed, as you wish to see it.

| Messrs. Crosby and Burns have | spent recent Thursdays making last- | minute script revisions when illness | and work kept scheduled guest stars away from the NBC-WLW “Music | Hall,” Bing promises to bring Lee | Tracy and Mary Brian of the movies | and Andres Segovia, guitarist, to | his microphone at 9 o'clock tonight, and I wish him better luck than he

| had last week when Mary Garden |

| was too ill to appear and Freddie | Bartholomew's studio kept him at work.

at times. Microphones, hypersensitive, pick up the sounds as little crunches. At 10:30 o'clock on the rebroadcast for the West, the shirts, now wilted, are silent as they should be. Someone had better invent a soft stiff shirt.”

“Show Boat’s” publicity department maintains Lanny was responsible for this thought. ” n ” Some of the trouble to which a network will go to bring its listen« ers a special events broadcast is demonstrated by NBC's expedition to a South Pacific island to broadcast the total eclipse of the sun on June 8. Announcers, engineers and about four tons of equipment will make the 7000-mile journey from New York to Enderbury Island for just 15 minutes of broadcasting, and there is a good chance the eclipse will be hidden by fog and the program canceled. Enderbury Island, about 1800 miles southwest of the Hawaiian Islands, is one of two { tiny bits of land in the path of the eclipse, which will extend for 5000 miles across the Pacific. Participating with NBC in the expedition will be the U. S. Navy, the National Geographical Society, the National Bureau of Standards and astronomical departra*nts of several leading universities. E ” ”

John T. Flynn, Times special writcy whose articles appear daily on the financial page, heads the speaker’s list for “America’s Town Meeting” which NBC-WIRE will broadcast at 8:30 o'clock tonight. “Should Our Tax System Be Revised?” is the question for tonight’s discussion, Other speakers include Peter Molyneaux, Texas Weekly editor, and Prof. Lewis H. Haney of New York University ‘economics department,

un n

“America’s Town Meeting” listen=ers sometimes wonder if questions put to speakers from the floor are prepared in advance and approved by the League for Political Education, which sponsors the broadecast. The speakers, as a matter of fact, | have no more idea what questions will be asked than you, as a listen=er, have. Any member of New York's Town Hall audience—the auditorium seats 1500 and always is packed for broadcasts—may ask questions. These questions are picked up by what are known as parabolic microphones—Jarge micro- | phones which resemble loud speak= ers of 10 years or so ago, and which may be turned to the questioner to pick up his voice. Written questions mailed in by listeners are put to the speakers by Director George V. Denny Jr. when time permits,
