BEHIND THE MIKE nun sun Ed Wynn, Sandwiched Between Stars, Faces Tough Assignment.

BY RALPH NORMAN ED WYNN picked a tough spot for his return to radio. Playing “Gulliver, the Traveler,” last night he had to share honors with two other topnotch comedians. With Frank Fay signed for Rudy Vallee’s hour at 7, with Bob Burns regularly on Bing Crosby's 9 o'clock broadcast, Ed will find the going harder than in the old “Fire Chief” days. Changes come quickly in radio. Fay and Burns were unknown on the networks when V'/nn left the air. Surprising is Ed’s choice of announcer. Knowing much of his radio success depends upon his straight man, he personally read lines with all candidates. John S. Young was given the post. The combination presents the paradox of the most featherbrained comedian with radio’s most scholarly announcer for stooge. Mr. Young has hppn tAnrhincr oh Npw Vnrk -■■■■■■■ ■■

has been teaching at New York University. He postponed acceptance of a Guggenheim fellowship for radio research abroad to “travel” with “Gulliver.” tt a tt Hollywood Hotel’s genial host, Dick Powell, will bring Janet Gay-

no r, Levf is Stone and Robert Taylor to his CBS (WFBM) microphone at 8 tonight. The trio is to preview scenes from the new picture, “Small Town Girl.” Dick will share the mu s ical spotlight with Frances Langford, Anne Jamison, Igor Gorin and

Generous Eddie started to comply with her request when most of the studio audience swarmed on the stage. The usually well-groomed comedian was a wreck. “A fine thing,” he said, “Ida never will believe what has happened to me!” tt a tt Here and there —Jack Benny, Fred Allen and the WLS barn dance are the only programs regularly broadbast to Hawaii; or night programs, because of time difference, reach there in the aftnoon . . . like the Bernie-Winchell feud.

Music BY JAMES THRASHER YEARS ago the world struck up a whistling acquaintance with the “Anvil Chorus” and “Miserere” from Verdi’s “II Trovatore,” which is to have its first complete radio performance from the stage of the Metropolitan torn o r r o w afternoon. The broadcast will be carried by both NBC networks (WIRE) at 12:55, and will include a five-minute story of the opera. This tuneful work first w r as performed Jan. 19, 1853, in Rome, two years after the premiere of the same composer’s “Rigoletto.” Famous artists who have sung the opera in recent years include Caruso, Eam es, Destinn, Homer, Amato and Rothier. Tomorrow’s cast is to have Martinelli as Manrico, brother of Count di Luna (Richard Bonelii), who was kidnaped in childhood by the gypsy Azucena (Katherine Meisle). Leonora, beloved of Manrico and coveted by the Count, will be sung by Elisabeth Rethberg. Gennaro Papi is to conduct. a a a Tomorrow morning's program from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music is to be presented by faculty members and broadcast by CBS at 10. Two transcriptions of classic masterpieces are to feature the concert: Burmeister’s twopiano arrangement of Bach’s Organ Prelude and Fugue in G. Minor, to be played by Mme. Karin Dayas and Dr. Karol Liszniewski; and the Handel “Passacaglia” in Halvorsen’s transcription for violin and viola, presented by Howard Coif and Mihail Stolarevsky. The modem Italian composer, Mario Castelnuovo-Te-desco, pupil of Casella, is to be represented with two songs, “L’lnfinito” and “Ninna Nana,” sung by Milan Petrovic, baritone. Coif and Liszniewski will conclude the program with the A Minor Sonata for Violin and Piano of Pizzetti.

Collects “Little Orchestras” Jeanette MacDonald, one of the film colony’s most avid collectors, has a collection of little orchestras composed of tiny figures playing musical instruments.

SALLEE NAMED TO END SLUMP AT GJi LINKS Park Superintendent Held Solely Responsible for Operation. Placing management of municipal golf courses directly in the hands of A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, is a move toward greater centralization of authority and responsibility in* this department, Jackiel W. Joseph, Park Board president, announced today. “While Mr. Sallee was considered the nominal head of the system, operation of public links was placed into the hands of a golf supervisor,” Mr. Joseph said. “This office has been abolished, temporarily at least, and we are going to see if the golf division can get out of the red next season.” Harry Schopp, veteran South Grove professional, was golf supervisor last season. He has been ill and on leave of absence without pay for six months. Lost $9606 Last Year Following a report two weeks ago that the city courses lost $9606 in 1935, the board yesterday moved to reorganize the executive setup. Mr. Sallee was made solely responsible for administration and financial operation of the golf division. He is to be assisted by Andrew Miller, department horticulturist, who has been ordered to improve the conditions of the courses. F. C. Freeman, greens foreman at the Riverside course, is to work under Mr. Miller. In outlining his new policy today,

Mr. Sallee said more responsibility was to be placed on club professionals. “I am going to meet all professionals and greens foremen every week, and they will be expected to make suggestions to improve their own courses,” he said. “There probably will be no change in the course personnel. The men we have now seem to be well qualified. It is hoped the players themselves will be able to build up the club units at the various links,” Mr. Sallee added. He said he did not anticipate any great outlay of money would be needed to put all the courses in shape. The Coffin course has caused the department the most worry’, he said. It sustained a loss of $23,386 in the last three years.
