KATE SMITH IS PITTED AGAINST BOWES

CBS Announces Sunday Program as Bid for Share of Popularity Now Enjoyed by Amateur Hour New Series, to Be Heard About Once Each Month, Built Around Songbird and Is to Feature ‘Nobble Array of Starring Talent,’ Chain Says. BY RALPH NORMAN TO a woman, s;enlal Kate Smith, goes the tremendous task of attempting to prove to prospective CBS advertisers that Maj. Bowes la not invincible. With the major monopolizing the best commercial period of the week, CBS has had difficulty selling time opposite the Amateur Hour and plans to build around Kate a show to convince NBC and the major that it has taken the back seat long enough. Different from other chain sea- I

tures, the Songbird's show is not to be heard each Sunday, but about once each month, and is to

present, CBS publicity says, “the most notable array of starring talent ever presented on a sponsored program." Kate's tri - weekly broadcasts are to continue at the customary With Kate as mistress of ceremonies, a time, CBS < WFBM) a t

New York. Investigators failed to get the owners to guarantee that the house is haunted, but since they couldn’t get any one to guarantee it Isn’t, they feel there’s a chance the ghosts will w'alk tonight. So pull up your easy chairs, and in the mast pleasant way we know to visit the spooks, via radio, enjoy the NBC staff’s visit with the spirits. S OB Back in New r York from his Middle Western tour, Fred Waring has a comic addition to his troupe of Pennsylvanians. An old member of the crew, Art McFarlane, never was suspected of being a comedian until, one night in Chicago, he interpreted Fred by shouting in that funny voice, “Come on, Fred, hurry up.

From then on it was a part of the act, and more and more lines have been given the saxophonist, who reads them in a monotonous voice resembling that of Donald Duck. 808 “Time Marches Backward” is the title of Walter O'Keefe’s comedy skit tonight at 8, CBS (WFBM), but time marches

straight in the opposite direction for the O’Keefe -Casa Loma combination. Their contract for the CBS program has been exten de and until June when O’Keefe is to head west for Hollywood and the movies. The comedian often writes, then acts, his own skits,

writes and sings his own songs, and chants oldtime ballads with heart-rending conviction. Tonight’s program is to find the entertainers recreating scenes from 1910, and Glen Gray’s boys have promised to do their bit by imitating the fist jazz band. 808 DURING one of .he Waring theater appearances, the director noticed a small boy asleep in the front row. When he still was there several hours later he concluded he had fainted, called the manager. The boy came to, yawned, stretched, was perfectly well, but sleepy. “Any one.” chuckled Fred, “who can sleep through ‘Mama Don't Allow It,’ is a wonder. “Well,” the boy called back “I’ve been sitting here through five shows, and I got used to the noise.” 808 Newsy and interesting— Mary Pickford is in New York for her CBS (WFBM) broadcast at 9. .. . Enthusiastic about a treasure hunt on a mysterious island off the coast of Florida is John Charles Thomas, and his father-in-law is searching for a pirate hoard in another remote region of the state.

Music BY JAMES THRASHER THE man, who, single-hand-ed, “rediscovered” Elizabethan music. Dr. Edmund Horace Fellowes. is to present a prosrram of songs with George Rasely, tenor, during a Music Guild program through NBCWEAF 'WIRE) at 1 tomorrow afternoon. Dr. Fellowes is to discuss the works and illustrate his remarks by singing several selections and accompanying M:. Rasely on the lute, the household instrument of Elizabethan times. Few examples of music by the early madrigal composers were known when Dr. Fellowes, an Anglican clergyman, began his research. Unflagging effort and enthusiasm disclosed many old manuscripts which he has rewritten in modern notation, edited and introduced to the public through the well-known English Singers and other groups. a a o The stirring aria, “Caesar, Great Wert Thou,” from Deems Taylor’s operfi, “The King’s Henchman,” is to be sung by Lawrence Tibbett and a chorus on the baritone's regular program at 7:30 tonight through CBS (WFBM). The chorus also will assist in the “Te Deum” accompaniment to the villainous Baron Scarpia’s aria in the first act of Puccini’s “La Tosca.” As on last week's broadcast, Mr. Tibbett is to include a popular tune by one of the country’s popular dance band leaders. For tonight he has chosen “The Night Is Beginning,” by Johnny Green. Other songs will be the “Queen Mab” aria from Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet,” “Where My Caravan Has Rested,” by Herman Lohr and Tschaikowsk.v’s “None But the Lonely Heart.” 808 • CARLOS SALZEDO, America’s foremost harpist and a teacher at the Curtis Institute of Music, is to be represented on tomorrow’s Institute broadcast by his “Variations on a Theme in the Olden Style,” played by Marjorie Call, harpist; orchestral arrangements of a “Giga” by Corelli, and Debussy's “En Bateau,” played by the school’s symphony orchestra. CBS (WFBM) at 3.

It looked as if the schools couldn't remain open. The Littlest Girl heard all this because her father was mayor. She heard too that everything would be all right when the railroad's taxes next came due. She waited until the grown-ups were silent Then she said: "Daddy, why don't you ask the Rlinnim ; Central to pay its taxes now?" He did ask. And ( the Illinois Central paid months in advance. *J IHERE 1 HERE is said to be no sentiment in business. But the Illinois Central is sometimes able to prove the contrary.
