Jack Benny, Phil Baker To Quit Air

Farewells . Scheduled Programs Tomorrow Evening.

They've got the trunks out of the attic at the old Benny homestead today, for Jack and Mary, along with the rest of their troupe, are planning to start vacationing soon after their farewell broadcast at 5 tomorrow, on WLW. Jack is giving up his Sunday spot to the comedy “team of Tim Ryan and Irene Noblette for the remainder of the summer, with Don Wilson continuing #8 master of ceremonies.

The comedian plans to start work soon on his new movie, “The Broadcast of 1937,” in which he be assisted by Sam (Schlepperman) Hearn. Mary intends to loaf and spend some time with friends and relatives in her native Seattle. Kenny Baker will fish and make movies, and Johnny Green has a vaudeville tour booked.

In addition to holding its place as radio editors’ favorite comedy program, the Benny series has been notable this year for the rise of Kenny Baker, “the timid enor,” ~ from West Coast obscurity to an established network reputation.

Another vacationer tomorrow is . Phil Baker, who winds up with his 5:30 program on WFBM. A summer’s wanderings will start with a five-weeks’ vaudeville tour with Beetle, Bottle and Agnes Moorehead, and finish in Indianapolis, where Phil is to be a State Fair guest of honor. : Frank Crumit and Julia Sanderson are to fill the Baker ‘bill until il returns to his kilocycle kidding ly in the fall. os ” f 4

Father isn’t going to be the forgotten. man tomorrow, for CBS has planned a Father's Day interview of “Dads of the Famous,” at 6:30 tomorrow night on WFBM.

Doubtless the man of the hour, as regards male parents, is John Manuel. Landon, father of the Republican presidential nominee. Others to .be heard include Elias Disney, whose boy, Walt, draws movie cartoons; the father of the young Kasper qu plets; Fred, famous father of the famous Stone sisters, and the sire of the musical Lombardo . boys. ” » ”

From the ranks of more than 100 radio actors, Geoffrey Bryant, 30-year-old Texan, was chosen for the role of Thomas A. Edison in the dramatic series on the great inventor’s life and works. The current episode of “Edison’s Productive Years” is on the air from WOR and the MBS network at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

When the series was arranged the chief problem was to find a voice resembling the high pitched, penetrating tones of the deaf inventor. The field finally narrowed down to three, and their recorded speeches were played on a phonograph with a reproduction of Edison's voice. The judges, among them several who had known Edison intimately for several years, could not distinguish definitely between Bryant's voice and the original. Both Bryant and Edward Longstreth, author of the drama, are in the midst of a sort of literary and dramatic marathon. By Labor Day, if his health and typing fingers hold out, Longstreth will have written 72 radio scripts—the equivalent of 12 full length dramas—in four months. The series is divided into three parts, among the major broadcasting systems. NBC has “The Man Edison”; “The Boy Edison” is as-

signed to CBS, and MBS offers the

“Productive Years.” 2 Nn s

The new W. C. Fields picture, |

“Poppy,” now showing at the Circle, is to be the subject of Walter Hickman’s review on his “Magazine of the Air” broddcast from WIRE at 1 tomorrow afternoon. Alice Arnold, Ned LeFevre and Jack Duval from the Federal Players company, will present scenes from the film. To conclude the program, five-year-old Bobby Munger is to continue his series of squabbles with his “girl friend,” Rebeccah.

"= »

Smith Ballew has been staging a series of “impossible interviews” during the last few weeks, but his selections for tonight promise to be * “tops.” Sally Rand, fan and bubble virtuoso, is to inquire into the career of the doughty Ed “Strangler” Lewis, former czar of heavyweight wrestlers. On the same program are to be Bette Davis; the famous stage and screen comedienne, Helen Broderick; Edward Everett Horton, equally noted film comic; Frances Fay, . blues singer, and the song writing team of Robin and Rainger.

Mary Pickford and Errol Flynn are to be heard in a condensed radio version of Jane Cowl's stage success, “Smilin’ Through,” at 8 tomorrow night on WFBM.

Compson of Gershwin to Be > Hea rd

Radio Piogram to Bring ‘Comparison “With

Tschaikowsky’s. BY JAMES THRASHER George tured tomorrow night in a Tschai-

kowsky-Gershwin program by the General Motors Symphony Orches-|

tra, with Erno Rapee conducting, at 8 over WIRE. “Why Tschaikowsky,” ask, “instead of Liszt, Berlioz, Goossens, Rossini of Shostakovich?” Well, we are told, one purpose is to allow listeners to settle the question as to whether Gershwin is

t one might

Gershwin, composer, pi-|., anist and conductor, is to be fea-| .,

the “musical heir of the great Ris- | partm

sian composer.” So it appears that question has been advanced. llowing excerpts from Tschaikosky’s “Nutcracker Suite,” Mr. Gershwin is to take his place at the piano for a performance of the time-honored “Rhapsody in Blue.” It is about 12 years since Paul Whiteman and Gershwin brought Lady Jazz, in the person of the “Rhapsody,” on to the stage of Aeolian Hall in New York and, as Walter Damrosch remarked, “made an honest woman of her.” Mr. Rapee is to relinquish the baton to the composer after a performance of the Scond movement of Tschaikowsky’s Fifth Symphony, and the p 1 isto be concluded with seven ex from Mr, Gershwin’s folk opera, “Porgy and Bess.” Among the performers to be heard are the original Porgy and Bess of last winter's production: Todd Duncan and Anne Brown and the original chorus. ; » ” ”

A performance of the first movement of Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto by Jose Iturbi and the Ford Symphony Orchestra is to feature the last of the Ford Sunday Evening Hour’s present series, at 7

tomorrow night over WFBM. The

pianist is to be heard later in compositions by Granados and Albeniz, and the orchestra’s program includes works, hy Bach, Dvorak, Komzak and Wagner. Beginning with the. New York Stadium Concerts: next week, Mr. Iturbi is to pursue his career as a conductor on a more pretentious scale. He has accepted the leadership of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra next season, and also is scheduled as one of the Minneap-

| olis Symphony's guest conductors

following Mr. Ormandy’s departure. 8 f 4

We note that the summer series of Radio City broadcasts, which begins a week from tomorrow, is to present music in a less serious vein, selected chiefly, the prospectus tells us, “from the field of chamber music and the lighter operas and operettas.” Which comes as something of a shock to those of us who had placed such things as string quartets beyond the popular pale of Messrs. Herbert, Lehar, Strauss et al. Less serious or not, it is a most’ encouraging sign that chamber music, heard often on daylight bréadcasts throughout the winter and spring, has caught on well enough to be included as summer

‘fare on the popular Radio City hour.

It speaks well for our oft-debated musical taste. ‘ ¥ wn The last Radio City spring concert tomorrow will conclude the modern composer's series with a program of Ravel and Franck. The latter is to be represented by the “Variations Symphoniques,” that excellent young pianist, Miss Henriefta Schumann, as soloist. The Ravel compositions include the lovely “Daphnis and Chloe” ballet suite, the “Alborada del Gracioso,” in the composer's effectiye orchestral transcription from the original piano score; and “La Valse.” The broadcast is at 10:30, with a WLW Pickups at 11,

URGES SCIENCE BE UNHAMPERED

Academy * President Says Freedom of Action Is Needed.

By Science Service ITHACA, N. Y., June 20—Scien-

tific research must have freedom of,

action, and it should also be given liberal support by both government and industry, declared Dr. Frank R. Little, president of the . National Academy of Sciences, before the

'semi-centennial meeting of the So-

ciety of Sigma Xi here today. Discussing biological : h, Dr. Lillie called attention t0 its numerous practical applications in agriculture and industry, but stressed the necessity of fundamental investigagations without too pressing demands for immediate “usefulness” of every discovery. He said, in part: “Professions and industries and government agencies can hardly be expected to pursue a purely rationalistic course within the confines of their own organizations. The un-

trammeled universities are the great?

homes of original scientific discov-

ery. “Hence the industries and the government would be well advised to support their independence and freedom liberally. There is a tendency on the part of these agencies, and also on the part of great foundations to offer support for specified investigations, only of pre-

sumed promise. Too much of this may cripple freedom of inquiry. “We hear much about the ‘business of science’ now-a-days, meaning generally its utility as a social agency, and of the duty of scientists to be socially minded. usness of this duty is growing and should develop still more. But society itself should recognize that the root of science is imagination and devotion to abstract truth; that, so long as the root lives, there is promise of new fruitage; and if it- dies the promise is lost. “The root must be watered with undying courage and persistence and fertilized with a passion for accuracy.. Thus arises the creative scientist. The best investment in science today is in able, free, creative individuals. Society can well afford to support them liberally with full freedom.”
