This playlet tells the story of a young woman, Miss Irene Macy, who has rather radical ideas about women giving up their name when they get married. So when she is married, she proceeds to put her ideas into practice by insisting that she still be known as “Miss Macy,” instead of “Mrs. Everett.” Her experience, much to her chagrin, convinces her that theory and practice do not harmonize. a an n u Compositions by Franz Schubert will be featured during the Blue Danube Nights program to be heard through the NBC System tonight at 9:30. n n n a a a Other features to be heard through the NBC System tonight include Waldorff-Astoria dinner music at 5 o’clock; United Press baseball scores at 5:55; Hoover Sentinels at 7:30; The Fortune Teller at 8; Halsey Stuart hour at 9; Statler’s Pennsylvanians at 9:30; Central Skylarks at 10:30.

This year, on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 18 the leaders of radio expect persons to enjoy the two-hour program they have arranged. Further, they believe the record set by the Smith and Hoover notifications, when the 100-mark was passed in the number of stations broadcasting them, will be broken at this event. Coast to Coast Hookup The entire National Broadcasting Company and Columbia systems will participate, from coast to coast. In addition many independent stations will be hooked up for the occasion. Thus, it is estimated, more than 115 stations will participate. The banquet hall of the Astor Hotel will be packed with members of the radio trades, but only about 3,500 will be able to see the entertainers. The rest of the 40,000,000 “attending” this show will be fans at their radio sets. Stage Stars on Program The two-hour entertainment Itself, running from 10 to 12, eastern daylight saving time, will be one of “the greatest ever,” officials of the show say.
