Music BY JAMES THRASHER Beethovens only opera, “Fidelio,'’ is to be on the air for the first time at 12:55 tomorrow, on both NBC net-> works (WIRE), when it is revived by the Metropolitan Opera Cos. after a lapse of six seasons.

Other principals are Julius Huehn, Emmaunel List, Editha Fleischer and Haas Clemens. Artur Bodanzky is to vonduct. The opera's libretto is based on Bouilly's "Leonore, or Conjugal Love,” and was prepared for Peethoven by Sonnleithncr. It is a Story of Leonore’s heroic and successful efforts to save her husband, Florestan, doomed to die in a dungeon, because he incurred the displeasure of Don Pizarro, governor of the State Prison. The work, originally called “Leonore.” gained its present title from the name the heroine assumed, along with masculine attire, when she entered the prison. “Fidelio” was performed first in Vienna in 1805, was coldly received and was withdrawn after three nights. It was revised, but did not enjoy success until 1814. Os the four overtures the last, “Fidelio,” is to be played as a preluue tomorrow, while the famous “Leonore, No. 3,” is to be heard between the first and second scenes of Act 11. t* St tt Gladys Swarthout is <o be soloist at the fourth children's and young people's concert by Ernest Schilling and the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra at 10 tomorrow morning via CBS.

wanted to resign from a sewing circle, but couldn't because her friend who had introduced her to the group would gossip about her. She and this friend had been guilty of certain indiscretions in their younger days and she feared these would be revealed. The Voice’s answer was full of common sense. "Get up in the meeting,” he advised, “and resign formally, thanking your girlhood friend for introducing you, reminiscing about your girlhood days, emphasizing the fact that you and your gossipy friend were inseparable then, and that what one did the other did. Then you can leave the club sure that your friend will be the first to defend your reputation.” a a a THE talk by Communist Secretary Early Browder on CBS last night was a newsworthy radio event. Following its policy of allocating air time to representatives of all political parties.
