Gibson’s Easter play, “The Prince

Music BY JAMES THRASHER CROSBY has a way of assembling strange radio bedfellows A-J on his Thursday night programs. This evening he is to present two of the best known figures in American music. Mme. Ernestine Srhumann-Hrink and Rudolph Ganz, along with Joan Crawford of the movies and Florence Gill, imitator of barnyard animals. * Mr. Crosby s musical guests, though European born, have been in this country for many years. Mme. Schumann-Heink, who is to

sing familiar Easter songs, was engaged by the Metropolitan Opera Cos. in 1898, and became one of the greatest of all Wagnerian contraltos. Mr! Ganz. who has been with us since 1900, is equally renowned as a pianist, composer and conductor. He is to appear as guest pianist tonight. The program is to come through NBC-WEAF (WLW) at 8. tt it Reed Kennedy, who is baritone soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra tonight, is a native of that city, where, until last fall, he combined the careers of business executive and radio and church singer. He has been in New York during the winter, devoting- his time to vocal study and frequent radio network appearances. The Negro spiritual, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,’' ManaZuccas “I Love Life,” and the prologue to Leoncavcllo’s “I Pagliacci” are Mr. Kennedy’s selections for tonight’s broadcast, to be heard at 7 through WIRE and the NBC-WJZ network. Antonio Modarelli will direct the orchestra in compositions by Johann Strauss, David Guiou, Ippolitov-Ivanov and Sibelius. a a a THERE is considerable similarity between the ‘ Mother Goose Suite” of Ravel, played by Victor Bay s Symphony orchestra last week, and Debussy’s

suite, ‘‘The Children's Corner.” which the same orchestra is to do at 2 tomorrow, through WFBM and the CBS network. Both suites were written originally for piano and dedicated to children. They are alike in mood, though the Ravel is longer and more elaborate and, in its present form, represents one of the composer's most delightful orchestral compositions. The Debussy suite is in six parts: ‘‘Serenade for the Doll”; "The Little Shepherd”; ‘Golliwog's Cakewalk”; “Jimbo’s Lullaby”; “The Snow Is Dancing,” anl "Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum.” Two other works of the same composer are to be played: “Fantoches” and “La Fille aux of the day’s religious nature, the program will conclude with the Cheveux de Lin.” In observance “Good Friday Spell” from Wagner’s “Parsifal.” . tt tt a Three New York business men are to be guest non-professional artists during the “Music Is My Hobby” broadcast at 6:45 tonight, over the NBC-WMZ network.

that with each program his reputation is at stake. “There's plenty of hard sense in the old adage,” says Ed, “‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall,’ and nobody is too important to get away from it. In the theater, once the opening night is over, it’s over and one can settle down to a run. In radio every performance is an opening night, with a brand new show each week.” In addition to worrying about humor, Ed argues almost every week with his sponsors. He insists on short gags, the sponsors want longer stories. Long stories, Ed says, make him uneasy. BIG REDUCTIONS ON BRAND NEW Philco Auto Radios KEMPLER RADIO CO. VA. A YU, Kl-3235
