THE RADIO WAVES a a a a a a Variety of Entertainment Promised to Dial Twisters Who'll Be Home Tonight

TWISTS of the radio dials tonight will bring a variety of entertain ment and educational features. Highlights of the programs include: Helen Hayes in another chapter of her ‘ The New Penny” series, written for her by Edith Meiscr, at 8:30 over NBC. Miss Hayes is worrlrd because she is supposed to have the mumps in tonight's drama, and so far she hasn't found any vocal trick convincing enough. S. K. RatclifTe, London Spectator special correspondent, is to comment on ‘ What Is Democratic Freedom?” over NBC-WJZ. at 9:15. ' Slapstick ’ Walter O'Keefe and his Broadway hill-billies are scheduled fdr humorous ventures into little known pastures of the drama tonight at 8 via CBS. Music is by Glen Gray’s Casa Loma.

"Liberty at the Crossroads,” Republican party current problem program, tried out in recorded form last week, is to be given a ‘'Live” presentation tonight at 8:30 over the Mutual network. a tt u "lITHEN Joe Louis knocked out Charley RetzlafT Friday night, he also knocked out a lot of radio plans and made the WJZ broadcast confusing, both to listeners and announcers. To begin with, the sponsor had paid more than S3OOO for racio time alone, and was planning on getting in at least a. couple of commercial announcements between rounds. Announcer Clem McCarthy’s reputation wasn’t boosted when he failed to see that RetzlafT had gone down and reported that he merely had fallen. The announcer's task was difficult after the knockout, with seven or eight minutes of radio t ime to fill, even after he spent some time getting the voices of both fighters on the air. An organ was playing in the auditorium, but when the announcer tried picking up a little of that, the station immediately sent orders to stop the music. Some of the numbers might be restricted. To add to the confusion, one of the parties in the fight after the Louis-Retzlafl “battle” was named Lewis, which sounded just like Louis over the microphone. This added a final confusing touch to an already mixed up broadcast. tt n a Autograph hunters find the going harder at Columbia than at the NBC studios. In Radio City, NBC headquarters, spectators watch the broadcasts and then rush past the microphone, notebooks ready, to plead for signatures. Columbia uses Times Square theaters for its broadcasts, where autograph seekers would have to climb up on a stage to corner their prey. Since that is impossible, they wait for their prey at the stage doors. tt tt tt VV/'HETHER she dances or just * ’ sings and acts, Eleanor Powell always wears trousers for her broadcasts. Her costume has varied on only one when the evening prograr- called for crinolines. Miss Powell obliged. tt it it Ray Noble is showing this fan note to his broadcasting colleagues. It reads: “My boy friend dances better to your music than to any other orchestra's. Can’t you please arrange to play more than a half hour each Wednesday?” tt tt a Amateur detectives get a big play when John Hix’s “Strange as It Seems" broadcast is heard from WIRE at 6:45 tonight. “The Man Who Solved His Own Crime” is said to be one of the outstanding oddities yet unearthed for this series. tt tt tt C'HE didn't like him the first time she saw him. and he felt the same way about her. The seeond time, she thought he was a “nice fellow” but just another “ham actor.” She changed her mind seven times in. the week before they finally were married. That, in short, is the story of the romance of Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, who celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary last week. Despite the inauspicious beginning, the comedian and his most persistent heckler constitute one of radio's happiest couples. It took some years for Mary to overcome her keen dislike for show business and become part of Jack’s act. Her ambition was to become a housewife. Instead, she found herself living out of a suitcase in Pullmans and hotel rooms, while her husband trouped across the country. Jack's entrance on the radio scene meant more to Mary than the chance to become a popular star in her own right. It has given her a chance to settle down in the permanent home to which she has always aspired. tt u tt That übiquitous nursel, “The Musie Goes ‘Round and Around,” has been dressed up again, this time by Lud Gluskin and his orchestra, who are to play it in the styles of Beethoven. Wagner and Liszt on their WABC-t’olumbia broadcast at 9:30 tonight. tt a tt Beginning tonight. Jimmie Firiler is to bring his Hollvwood gossip through NBC's WEAF net-

Music Tonight BY JAMES THRASHER Baritone Lawrence Tibbett Is to exhibit the phenomenal range of his voice tonight by singing the famous tenor aria, “Vesti la Giubba.” from Leoncavallos “I Pagliacci” in the same key in which the late great Caruso used to render it. The program is at 7:30 through CBS and will mark the first appearance this season of Tibbett’s regular accompanist, Stewart Wille. tt o tt Roman Totenberg, violinist, and Arpad Sandor, pianist, are to play the Handel Sonata in E Major and Debussy's G Minor Sonata in their guest appearance on the NBC Music Guild piogram tomorrow’ afternoon at 1. tt tt tt Three bass arias representing three types of operatic “villainy” are to feature the Howard Barlow “Understanding Opera” program through CBS at 5:35 this afternoon. Joseph MacPherson, former leading bass-baritone of the Metropolitan, is to sing Marcel’s song, “PifT-Paff,” from Meyerbeer’s “Les Hugenots,” in which he describes his fondness for slaughtering Catholics; “Madamina. il Catalogo e Questo,” from Mozart's “Don Giovanni.” sung by Leporello, servant of the great lover, and explaining how busy his master is, and the drunken account of the siege of a Russian city, sung by Monk Varlaam in Moussorgsky’s “Boris Godounoff.” tt n tt Deems Taylor is to call the daness when Sigmund Romberg's program puts on a “fiddler’s convention” in the manner of the Southern mountaineers, through NBC-WEAF at 9 tonight. Among the fiddlers will be Helen Marshall, soprano soloist, and Romberg himself. Miss Marshall, who was on the way to becoming a concert violinist when she broke her finger in a subway door, once held a double scholarship in voice and violin at the Juillard Graduate School in New York. She has been having trouble getting the union card necessary for her violin appearance tonight, but somehow’, studio officials promise, she will perform. work, instead of the Wednesday night WJZ network program heard previously. Fidler has been associated with the motion picture industry for nearly 20 years and counts many of its stars among his fans. tt tt tt A CHECK-UP at the close of the first anniversary of amateur performers on Fred Allen's “Town Hall Tonight” program discloses that 50,000 made applications for a hearing. Os these 52 per cent were women and only 18 per cent of the entire group were unemployed. High school and college students made up 29 per cent of the applicants. 25 per cent were music students. 8 per cent W’ere salespeople, 7 per cent were clerks and stenographers, 6.6 per cent were miscellaneously employed. The latter group included doctors, lawyers, one minister, barkers, bartenders, truck drivers, models, steel workers and football players; while one contestant was employed on the Nantucket lightship and avoided the fatal disaster by being at the Allen program when it happened. Mast unusual individual performers included: Ambrose Smith, a professional department store Santa Claus; Klondike Cameron, veteran of the '9B gold rush, who played two clarinets at once; Juliet Romeo (her real name) who lived opposite the Bronx Zoo and sang “It's the Animal in Me”; Brooks Bowman. Princeton student who wrote “Love and a Dime.” “East of the Sun” and other tunes, and “The Three J’s,” a vocal trio from North Carolina, now appearing in Earl Carroll's “Sketch Book.” There were 27 Fred Allen imitators among the amateurs. o a it The Morin Sisters are to offer harmony with your breakfast at 8 tomorrow, NBC-WJZ. The three girls will sing “Get Rhythm in Your Feet." “Dance of the Cave .Man” and "Polly Wolly Doodle.”
