Studio wits iold Harry Horlick after his broadcast Tuesday night: “After 13 years they finally give you a hand, Harry! Class will tell, you know.” After 13 years the rule against studio aplause for Horlick's Gypsy orchestra was relaxed for the Tuesday evening program. The programs have been running more and more to popular music, and the theory is that occasional applause will enliven them. a a a DO YOU KNOW that you have to pay a tax if you wear a beard in one major nation of the world? Or that two veteran sea captains were foolhardy enough to race each other across the Atlantic ocean in sailboats only 14 feet long, each traveling alone? These facts are the basis of the “Strange As It Seems” broadcast over WIRE at 6:45 tonight. a a a When the moment arrives for King Edward VIII to address listeners in America for the first time, his friendly voice is to be familiar to radio audiences. As Prince of Wales, the new King addressed American radio audiences 11 times since 1930. Once before that, in 1927, he was heard over an eastern station before it joined a chain. . The monarch’s last broadcast heard in this country while he was Prince of Wales was in connection with the jubilee celebration for King George and Queen Mary April 2. 1935. h m a Songs from the classics are to predominate on the Cities Service concert at 7 tonight. Over the NBC-WEAF network Jessica Dragonette, soprano, is to sing Gounod's “Ave Maria” and Tosti’s “Ideale,” and with Ross Graham, baritone, is to sing Verdi’s “Home to Our Mountains.” On the same program, Rosario Bourdonis is to conduct the orchestra in a group of Hungarian songs, the prelude to Saint-Saens’ “The Deluge,” and Tschaikowsky’s “March Miniature.” “If I Should Lose You” from “Rose of the Rancho” and Lieurance’s “By the Waters of the Minnetonka” are to be sung by the quartet. a a a Phil Baker says radio comedians winter at Florida beaches because they like to watch their drawing pow'er bring in the titles. 'a a a JAMES MELTON, tenor, is to join the Kellogg Prom for broadcasts each week beginning tonight at 7:30 over NBC-WJZ. Mr. Melton’s musical career started when he worked his way through two years at the University of Florida, one year at the University cf Georgia and one year at Vanderbilt University by singing with orchestras and playing a saxaphone. The young singer joined Roxy’s Gang in 1927, later singing with the Revelers qliartet before being featured. He recently starred in the movie, “Stars Over Broadway.” The Prom is to continue to feature Red Nichols and the Kellogg choir of mixed voices. Stopping at a wayside Connecticut gas station for fuel the other day, Freddie Rich was surprised when the attendant lifted a violin from the shelf of Freddie's coupe and played it with the touch of a master. “Thanks,” said the attendant, I used to play one myswlf, but now I work for a living.” M M M Al Pearce is to take part in his 2500th broadcast at 8 tonight, over NBC-WJZ playing the leading role with the Al Pearce Gang.

Music BY lAMES THRASHER VERDI'S “Aida” seems to be about the most useful work in any opera company's repertoire. Not only is it a perennial curtain-raiser, but apparently it is always on hand, ready for presentation in case of emergency. So, when several members of the cast for Puccini’s “La Rondine,” tomorrow afternoon’s scheduled broadcast from the Metropolitan, succumbed to the indispositions that have been plaguing the company all season, the Verdi opus was rushed into the breach. An imposing cast has been assembled for the performance: Elizabeth Rethberg, Frederick Jagel, John Charles Thomas, Gertrude Wettergren, Louis D’Angelo and Chase Baromeo. A five-minute resume of the story is to open the broadcast at 12:55. a a a Carlos Chavez, conductor of the Mexican National Symphony orchestra, is to direct a special CBS symphony orchestra in a program of Mexican Indian music at 9:30 tonight. Olga Averino, Russian soprano, is to be soloist. The concert is to include Chavez’s recently completed “Sinfonia India.” a a a Harold van horne, pianist, and Rudolph Mangold, violinist, are to be heard in another concert recital over NBC-WJZ at 6:15. Mangold is to play Rimsky-Korsakoffs “Hymn to the Sun” and Zsolt's “Dragon Flies.” The Levitzki “Arabesque Valsante” and “Golliwog’s Cake Walk” by Debussy, are to be the piano solos. a a a A family quintet of instrumentalists, the Whitney Ensemble, is to present compositions by Gretry, Mendelssohn, Schumann.

Ed has played his current style of comedy and character during most of his lifetime, and nothing annoys him more than a suggestion that even the slightest detail be changed. The orchestra of the program is to be led by Lennle Hayton. King's Death Brings Special Broadcasts Times Special NEW YORK.
