Gala Program Arranged for “Artist in Hollywood Hotel; Choral Festival Scheduled

Singer Booked to Return After Absence of 12 Weeks.

BY RALPH NORMAN

A gala program tonight on Hollywood Hotel, CBS (WFBM) at 7, has been arranged to welcome Dick Powell back to his old job as master of ceremonies and singing star. Absent for 12 weeks because of overwork and strain, Dick is ready to prove tonight that rumors that he never would sing again were unfounded. Two weeks ago he resumed work on a movie, although z= no sequences requiring his singing have been 7 shot. Dick has headed the Hollywood Hotel program since its start in October, 1934, and with Lelp of a capable supporting cast and many guest stars, Dick Powell , ‘has made it one of theoutstanding variety programs. Heard with him each week are Frances Langford, Jean Dickenson, Igo Gorin and Raymond Paige's orchestra. Tonight's Hollywood Hotel movie preview will be from the picture, “The Bride Walks Out,” and will star Barbara Stanwyck and Gene Raymond, with Ned Sparks and Helen Broderick in *supporting roles. Miss Stanwyck has played before ‘for Hollywood Hotel, but tonight’ appearance will be the other players’ first. Some listeners have commented that Hollywood Hotel has been a good program with Dick Powell away from the microphone. James Melton, popular radio singer, replaced him several times, and many listeners have voiced preference for Melton. » ” ” Frank Fay fans are asked not to forget the comedian is to be heard on Fridays, not Saturdays, beginning tonight{—NBC-WJZ (WLW) at 6:30 tonight and every Friday night. " = = HAT would you do if you adopted a baby for a friend, and the friend then refused to accept the child? This is the problem which is to face Irene Rich in her “Lady Counsellor” skit tonight, NBC-WJZ (WIRE) at 6. We don't hear much about Miss Rich's radio dramatizations, partly because they are aired too early to attract the : evening audience, and partly because they are too short. n E 4 =

- NBC hopes to increase efficiency of its Blue network key station, WJZ, with erection of a modern antenna. The new steel structure igexpected to be 600 feet high, and will utilize the latest -equipment for broadcasters. An application to increase WJZ's power from 50,000 watts to 500,000 watts now is pending before the Federal Radio Commission. Ed os ” BS was to explain its plan for reporting national conventions in a pre-Republican convention program on the network at 5:15 this afternoon. Paul White, director of CBS public events and special features, and Bob Trout, convention announcer, are to be at the microphone. All networks are making elaborate preparations to broadcast every im=portant session of both conventions. Many improvements in equipment have been made since the 1932 conventions, and better and more instructive programs are promised. The first convention broadcast will be at 10 Tuesday morning when Henry P. Fletcher, Republican national chairman, is scheduled to bang the gavel, opening the session. At 8 Tuesday night the keynote address by Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon will be aired. Radio’s convention schedules will des pend upon developments at the sessions and will not ‘be announced; for the most part, in advance. » # 8

CBS also will air a number of pre-convention programs sponsored by various Republican groups. At 8:45 tonight John Hamilton, campaign manager for Gov. Alfred M. Landon, will speak on “The Record to Date.” % ” ” ” Just as persons who know their Hollywood advise = inexperienced boys and girls to stay at home and get their introduction to the theater there, so do radio officials and performers advise young people am‘bitious for radio contracts to try the home town first. “New York is full of disillusioned singers,” says Virginia Rea, suc-

cessful soprano of many network

Choir School Groups Set to Replace Opera Broadcast.

There will be no opera broadcast tomorrow afternoon, and according to present indications, the airing of the rest of the Metropolitan spring series is to be discontinued. Instead, the Talbott Choral Festival from the Westminster Choir School in Princeton, N. J., is to be heard at 1, through WIRE and the NBC Red network.

This choral festival, an annual

affair, this season is to take the form of a memorial to the late Mrs. H. E. Talbott, Dayton, O., patron of music, and particularly of the Westminster Choir and School. At the time of her death during the last season, Mrs. Talbott was president of the school’s board of trustees. Following that broadcast at 1, there is to be a second program from the same festival at 4:35 on the Blue network. The first broadcast is to be presented by 175 voices from the Westminster Choirs, “past, present and future;” the second will be by a massed chorus of 3000 voices from the Westminster and Princeton Choirs, and out-of-town choral groups. Dr. John Finley Williamson is to conduct both programs. # 8 #

Armand Basile, 13-year-old pianist who won two major competitions conducted by the Pennsylvania Federation of Music Clubs during its recent annual convention, is to be presented in a 15-minute broadcast at 9:15 tomorrow morning over the NBC-WEAF network. The program will originate in the studios of WCAE, . Pittsburgh. . (By J.T)

programs. “Scores of them write to me asking what they should do. It's hard to tell them they shouldn't have come. They would only reply, ‘Well, you came and succeeded, why can’t 1?’”

The singer says her correspond-

ence is filled with

letter from

eager young singers who ‘want the

short-cut to success pointed out to them. But like all other artists, she advises all the ambitious to try at home first, and then perhaps a very few will be capable of success in metropolitan districts.
