- Convention to
Experiences ‘as Professor, Writer and Musician |
to Be Retaled.
BY JAMES THRASHER _ Beveral years ago Dr. John Erskine returned to his study of] plano, practicing three hours a day | because, he said, he ‘“‘couldn’t help | it.” At that time he was professor | of English at Columbia University, | famous as the author of the con- | ventional historical novel, “The Private Life of Helen of Troy.”
Music, however, became more than a hobby. He appeared as so- |
- loist with many of the major sym- litical sessions will be the same as
phony orchestras, and with John | Powell and others, devoted consid- | erable attention and research to | American folk music. Now he is | head of the Juillard School of Mu- | sic in New York, and chairman of | the Metropolitan Opera Co. executive board. Tonight, as guest of Bing Crosby, Dr. Erskine is to speak about Iris experiences as professor, author and musician, and’ probably - will be heard as soloist, as well. With Dr. Erskine will be one of his “employes,” Miss Rose Bampton, lovely and talented contralto who joined the Metropolitan some seasons ago as a “baby star.” She was heard a few weeks ago in recital at Columbus, Ind. The broadcast, which includes Bette Davis as the other guest artist, is to be heard at 8, NBCWEAF (WLW). ” » ” T the Opera Comique in London, just 58 years ago tonight, | the curtain went up on a new light opera by those two amusing knights, Sir William S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. The title was “Her Majesty's Ship, Pinafore, or the -Lass That Loved a Sailor.” It was billed by its authors as “an entirely original, nautical comic opera,” and it ran for 700 consecutive performances to an enthusiastic reception probably never before equalled.” Withstdanding the ravages of time, changing tastes and high school glee club productions, this work still is heard with enjoyment. If great music is that which survives passage of years and frequent performances, then ° ‘Pinafore” and its companions may lay claim to the title. In America, Gilbert and Sullivan societies, magazines and -performances are increasing yearly. Which brings us to the NBC Tight Opera Co.s broadcast of Sjinafore” at 9 tomorrow morning 1 the NBC Blue network. As in
‘evious performances in the series,
_.arold Sanford is to direct.

G. 0. P. Candidate Says Normal Party .Differences Must Fade. By United Press CHICAGO, May 28.-—Normal differences between Republicans and Democrats must “fade into insignificance” in the present “fundamental crisis,” Frank Knox, candidate for the Republican nomination for President, said last night in his last important address before the Cleveland convention. He appealed for support of at least 3,000,000 Democrats to help uphold the Constitution by defeating the New Deal in this fall's election.

Republican and Democratic national conventions to broadcast the “woman's angle.” - Miss Thompson, who’ in private life is Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, doesn’t believe in “woman's Men and women are interested in the same things, she {argues, and her work at the po-
that of other prominent commentators—reporting facts and highlights of interest to listeners. Miss Thompson will be the first woman to report a national convention for a major network, but it was her brilliant mind and her wide am | experience as a political observer, not her femininity, which won her the assignment. Now known for her European articles, Miss Thompson's first adventure as a foreign correspondent was a gamble. She went abroad without definite commissions, but Dorothy soon had more Thompson orders . for articles than she could fill. She reported world news for several years in France, England, Italy and Russia, and was expelled from Germany by Hitler in 1934 because of her book, “I Saw Hitler.” She also wrote another best-seller, “The New Russia.” ” ” ” KoLLowike its policy of saluting cities and states, also featuring guest stars, Show Boat will have on board tonight, NBC-WEAF (WIRE) at 7, Ross Graham, bassbaritone, for a special program dedicated to the Arkansas Centennial Celebration. Show Boat's guest starring. of Dizzy Dean last week was a lastminute arrangement, but Dizzy was sure he wouldn't be perturbed by a microphone. He was so confidént he had to be argued into a brief rehearsal, but before the mike he was frightened, as are most persons unfamiliar with broadcasting. An impromptu interview turned - into a formal reading of script, with Dizzy laboriously pronouncing each word of his copy.
: # 2 = CIENTISTS will describe over NBC their ohservations of a total eclipse of the sun in far-off
June 18. An earlier broadcast, Sunday; June 14, will bring the voices of several prominent astronomers who will discuss preparations for photographing the eclipse. Dr. Donald Menzel of Harvard University will have charge of both programs. Because of its astronomical importance, scientists from many countries of the world will gather at Akbulak, Siberia, to view the phenomena. 2 8 ”
Philip Merivale, seen here last year with Helen Hayes in “Mary of Scotland,” will co-star with his rleading lady of the current Broadway hit, “Call It a Day,” on Rudy Vallee’s Variety Hour, NBCWEAF (WLW) at .6 tonight. Gladys Cooper, who plays with Mr. Merivale, will appear oppo- ~ site the actor in an unannounced radio vehicle.

SENATE CONSIDERS RELIEF BILL ACTION
Democratic Leaders Press for Quick Passage.
By United Press. bitterly contested $1,424,000,000 reate today, with Democratic leaders
pressing for passage before the week-end.
Republicans, led by Senator Ar-
thur H. Vandenberg of Michigan, a possible Republican presidential nominee, organized a campaign to amend the measure so that states, rather than the Works Progress Administration, would have control over relief expenditures. Vandenberg said his proposal was intended to supply the coming Republican national convention with a guide for adoption of a “relief plank” which would set forth the state administration doctrine. Democratic Leader Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, predicted debate on the relief program would last about two days. As it began consideration of the measure, the Senate had before it a statement by WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins that “nobody in the United States has lost his job and nobody will lose his job because he failed to contribute to any political party.”
