RECORDED PROGRAMS GAINING GROUND

Rubinoff s Musical Moments Are Broadcasts of This Type, Hard to Tell From Originals Such Features Are Not Merely Transcriptions From Phonograph Records but Special Arrangements of Entertainment by Radio’s Headliners. BY RALPH NORMAN SOMETHING we predict listeners arc going to hear a great deal of this summer is recorded programs. We don’t mean phonograph records, but special recordings for transcription purposes of outstanding orchestras, with recorded comedy, special singers and announcements. Many persons have observed that the Rubinoff Musical Moments recorded series, now aired by WFBM and WIRE, are hard to distinguish from actual Rubinoff broadcasts, and we certainly And it difficult

to realize, when we hear the programs, that the violinist-conductor is vacationing in Cuba and is not wielding his baton in the studio. Newest of the recorded programs, featuring Ferde Grofe di-

recting an orchestra playing his newest work, “Wheels," is to be heard on WFBM each Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 8:45. Mr. Grofe is well*known for two previous works, "Grand Canyon Suite" and Mississippi Suite.” Some critics hail him ns the. father of

Ferde Grofe

modern music. The new Grofe work. "Wheels." Is described as a panorama of transportation in a tone picture depicting the development, and progress of transportation in the United states, beginning with overland coach of the pioneer days, ending with modern trains, air planes, automobiles. i B B B If their hunt for a left-handed dentist is successful, Jerry Belcher and Parks Johnson will Interview him on their Vox Pop program NBC-WEAF (WIRE) at 7 tonight. They aren’t too optimistic. for all dental equipment is right-handed. However, a year ago Vox Pop called for one-armed paperhangers and received 38 replies. nun ED WYNN'S return tonight, to NBC-WEAF (WLW) t 7:30 will be a home-coming for the superstitious comedian who this

Music ItV JAMES THRASHER / Ij'Oß, those who like their serious music even in warm weather, the announcement of anew series of lecture recital' by the distinguished French pianist. E. Robert Schmitz, will come as welcome news. The first of these half-hour broadcasts is scheduled for 2 tomorrow afternoon, through WFBM and the CBS network. Although he has given more than 1000 concerts in all parts of the world, Mr. Schmitz will be making only his third radio appear-

ance tomorrow. He played from the Eiffel Tower in Paris during the Debussy festival in 1929, and the following year was heard in a broadcast from Tokyo. Born in Paris in 1889, Mr. Schmitz, as the son of a famous mathematician, received thorough training during his youth in science as well as music. This study is reflected in his recent book. “The Capture of Inspiration,” which is a. study of the human mechanism as applied to piano playing, “with a discussion of psychology and physiology thrown in,” as the author expresses it. The volume has been chosen one of the 50 best books of the year. Mr. Schmitz has chosen for his opening program Moussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition,” a group of piano pieces which, as the name implies, gives a tonal impression of a collection of paintings. His comments tomorrow and throughout flhe series are planned to stress every-day

winter strayed to CBS pastures for his automobile commercial. Back in the world's largest studio in Radio City, Ed’s audience tonight, will include many old friends, newspaper men, broadcasting officials, movie stars and assorted celebrities. mum All the moving about trying to keep up with the touring Benny Goodman band has the comedy team of Eddie Dowling and Ray Dooley in something of a dither. For their program tonight, NBCWJZ (WIRE) at 8, the comedians are to be in Chicago, while the Goodman orchestra is some place east of Indianapolis. Eddie and Ray can’t decide between the ripsire, for tonight’s show, to raise the mortgage on the old homestead and tour rural America or in take their listeners to the Jungles of Africa to swing through trees in a Tarzan skit. BUB BECAUSE so many of 'Broadways brightest stars now are in Hollywood, the Radio Theater, which for two years has been aired from New York, is to move to the West Coast the first of next month. Much commuting across the continent will be spared movie stars, many of whom have made special trips to New York lor roles in radio’s outstanding dramatic presentations. We hope the Hollywood program tendency to pre-view motion pictures does not affect the Radio Theater, and that the policy of presently; a. full-hour drama is continued. If Radio Theater degenerates into a variety show, radio will lose its best dramatic entertainment, probably gain little not already offered by

incidents in the composers’ lives that molded their musical outlook and technique. * m * Brahms Piano Quartet in G Minor, like its companion quartet in A Major, dates from the composer’s late twenties, before he set up residence in Vienna. Although not published until 1863, the quartet was composed about the time of the String Sextet in B Flat, described by one of his contemporaries as “the most magnificent piece of chamber music appearing since Beethoven.” Barring last-minute postponements, the G Minor Quartet can be heard on the NBC Music Guild program at noon tomorrow over the NBC Red network. The performers are to be Henri Deering, piano; Boris Koutzen, violin; Leon Barzin, viola, and Horace Britt, ’cello.

Headed by Jack Oakie, it is to be a full hour, originating in Hollywood, with the tentative list of stars for the opening performance including Gertrude Niesen, Walter Huston, Clifford Edwards, Milton Berle and Freddie Rich’s orchestra. B B B WILL Hollywood become thd radio center of America as it has become the movie capital?” is a, question many radio executives would like to have answered. , Already 20 of the 40 major national programs on NBC originate in Hollywood. Radio Theater and the new Jack Oakie program aren’t the only ones going West. Eddie Cantor is to move his company to the coast during the summer, and his new commercial will originate there next fall. Burns and Allen have been in Hollywood . for several months. Jack Benny will spend next winter in Southern California sunshine, as will Fred Allen, Kate Smith, Walter O’Keefe aqd a host of others. Hollywood is prepared to receive this influx of radio business. CBS is building two large radio playhouses, and recently purchased station KNX for originating West Coast programs. NBC last fall opened expensive Hollywood studios, and advertising agencies have branch offices in Hollywood or Los Angeles.
