Radio Artists Err in Discarding Instruments for Baton Alone, Says Rubinoff, Famed Violinist of Air Waves

Tom Howard and George Shelton' to Return to Rudy Vallee Hour Tonight; Flynn on Town Hall Meeting. BY RALPH NORMAN TODAY we present a guest writer, Dave Rubinoff, whose violin and orchestral arrangements are heard each Saturday evening at 8, NBC-WEAF, who tells you his formula of success through years of broadcasting. He has this message for Bonind the Mike readers: “When a substantial measure of contemporary fame has been obtained orchestra leaders are almost unanimous in discarding instruments in favor of batons which, when waved in the faces of a group of accomplished musicians, serve to keep them in the money and public eye.

"It is my ooinion that, just as a captain must be a sailor first, la, t and always, a conductor must * a musician first, last and always. With this in mind. I have continued to work as a violinist as well as a conductor. My composing is inescapable. I can not avoid setting down melodies which I discover coursing through my mind. a a a “Essentially I consider myself a violinist. I attempt to draw music from my orchestra as I would from a single instrument — the instrument naturally assumes the mental proportions of a violin. "The favor I have found as a conductor I trace directly to my continuation as a violinist. The favor I find as a violinist I attribute to a wise choice and earnest endeavor. “It is not easy, as you might well have recognized, to continue in both positions. For one thing, the detail involved in directing an orchestra, the continual grind of rehearsal upon rehearsal, the physical strain attached to staying until the piece is done perfectly, the constant administration—these things require so much time that after a three-hour daily practice session with my violin, I am ready for a shower and bed. a a a “The ability to switch from conducting to playing has kept my fans happy, for a survey of my mail has revealed that almost every letter asks for both a solo and an orchestral composition. “No matter how hard he works, don't let any artist tell you he regrets it. None of us would surrender one iota of work any sooner than we would give up' breathing.’’ a a a FIRESIDE listeners to Ed Wynn's first "Gulliver" broadcast heard much nonsense, but the studio audience not only heard but saw a great deal more. Crashers packed the CBS Times Square Theater so that many with tickets had to stand, but when the program took on circus aspects every one had a rollicking good time. At the last minute, sponsors remembered that Guliver had something to do with Lilliputians (nothing in the script did), so a midget who ran up and down the aisles heckling the audience was thrown in for good measure. Ed discarded his “Fire Chief" getup for a "Gulliver” costume, but he discarded none of his grotesque puns, stories about uncle's animals nor the question box. He is reported to receive $5500 for each "Gulliver" episode, CBS (WFBM) at 8:30. a a a PROGRAM roundup Tom Howard and George Shelton return to Rudy Vallee's microphone, NBC-WEAF (WLW) at 7; the first of four jubilee programs

interview Millionaire Turfman Alfred G. Vanderbilt and present Charles Ruggles, screen comedian, in an original sketch on Music Hall, NBC-WEAF WLW) at 9; two talks: Gifford Pinchot, "It Makes a Difference to You,” CBS at 9:45; Rep. Sol Bloom of New York, "George Washington,” NBC-WJZs Women's Clubs program at 1:45 tomorrow. a a a WE CLEANED out the desk last night, and learned that Johnny Green has written another song, "The Night Is Beginning." . . . Carol Deis, NBC soprano. got a vacation in Bermuda by being invited to sing there. . . . Frank Tours believes that success in song writing is using old stuff in anew way so that listeners who have come to anticipate the next passage will be surprised.

Music BY JAMES THRASHER BACK home after an extended tour, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, der the direction of Eugene Ormandy, is to open anew series of NBC-WEAF broadcasts at 10:35 tonight, through WIRE. Mr. Ormandy is to present another new American work on this program, Samuel Barber's Overture to “The School for Scandal." Mr. Barber is the young composer who last year won the Guggenheim a vard in music and the Prix de Rome. Other numbers are to be the Mozart G Minor Symphony, and the two Debussy tone poems for orchestra, “Clouds" and "Fetes." Those who heard the orchestra's stunning performances of these last two pieces in Indianapolis two years, ago will want to hear them again. a a a Morten Baiun, New York alderman and special counsel to the city controller, is to play piano accompaniments to an informal program ot violin music by Martin H. Young, New York attorney, during the "Music Is My Hobby” program at 7 tonight, via NBCWJZ (WIRE.) Bach’s “Arioso,’’ a Handel minuet, and the “Obsrtass” Mazurka No. 1, by Wieniawski, are to played. a a a Mightiest of the 49 Mozart symphonies, the C Major "Jupiter,” is to be played by Dr. Walter Damrosch and the orchestra in tomorrow’s music appreciation program at 10, over both NBC networks (WIRE). This, undoubtedly the greatest orchestral work before Beethoveu, is to be played to complete a Mozart survey for Class C students, begun in the previous broadcasts. Series D students are to hear an aii-vVagner program, with selections from "Lohengrin.” "The Flying Dutchman” and “Parsifal” are to complete the program. Asa prelude to the Mozart music scheduled for tonight and tomorrow, listeners n.ight dial the Rudy Vallee program, NBC-WEAF (WIAV), at 7 tonight for a one- act play based on an incident in the composer's life. The title is "Lacrymosa.” The author, Leor.ard Leibling, is music critic of the New York American.
