FEMININE SEXTET AIDSFAME

NEC to Kir Four Brogan for Radicals. Opening Aug. 28.

The expected Democratic

response to the Republican appointment of

William Hard as its radio propagandist has come in the selection of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde for a series of 15-minute programs entitled “Happy Days.” - The talks are to be presented weekly for the next three months. The first broadcast is to be at 8:45 o'clock tonight on CBS. (Ensuing broadcasts will be on Tuesday nights at the sama hour, The recently wedded Minister to Denmark will talk on “President Roosevelt's Foreign Polioy” during] the first program.’ An orchestra is to provide’ musical interludes, and listeners-in will be invited to express their views of New Deal policies, the Roosevelt administration and related matters. Responses dre to be incorporated in later programs, |

Four 15-minute, Communist pro.grams which are to go on a national NBC hookup eon Aug 28 are a new departure for both the pdrty and radio." Comm t speeches on the air have been rare, but NBC had no choice in the matter of policy. ‘Time must be sold to an accredited party, and the radical - group filled the bill. With five additional broadcasts - scheduled on .a New York state network, the programs are costing the party around $40,000. This is only a small part of what major parties wh paying for radio time, but is is more than the Communists ever have had available for broadcasts - before. » ” »

~ Adother politicat speech in the offing is to be Senator Arthur H.’ Vandenburg's 30-minute address from Chicago over WGN at noon tomorrow. The Michigan Republican has not announced the title for his talk, but the theme will be: “We join ourselves to no party that does not ‘carry the flag and keep step to the music of the Union.” 2 8 8

WLW’s “Betty and Bob” boasts the most faithful fans among daylight listeners, if a poll of radio departments in downiown department stores is any criterion. Of all the serialized stories, this Monday-through-Friday drama is most requested by..ladies who refuse to let shopping interfere with a single episode. When Bob acquired a new Betty

Block Juniors Saturday morning broadcasts and Mrs. Farrell’'s Kitchen of the Air, likewise sponsored by the latter store, usually drew some early morning shoppers. ” It takes air dramas, however, to coax customers away from their business, salesmen inform us. News and political broadcasts, singers and various daytime programs of “‘serious” music apparently hold no charms,

Good M Music

BY JAMES THRASHER

This is, the story of why tangos, as played by Andre Kostelanetz, sound the way they do. And even if the more captious should insist that Mr. Kostelanetz’ radio programs have no place in a discussion of “good music’—which we don’t believe—we're going to tell it anyway. Probably many, along with this writer, have wondered how the bass effect in Latin-American music, which sounds vaguely like a piano falling downstairs, is achieved. Well, it's bedsprings. They are placed in a curious sort of box and plucked by players wearing heavy gloves. Drums Are Heated

Also important in achieving, the authentic tango and rumba rhythm | are-bangos and: acas, according to Mr. Kostelanetz. The former are little. Cuban drums which must be . heated over an open flame just before ‘using to _obtain the correct _ipiteh. ‘Ma: "are the : traflitonal Cuban and South: American gourds. “In place of the conventional accordion,” Mr. Kostelanetz says, “we produce an even more effective color by grouping the woodwind instruments to reproduce accordion tones in a much greater variety of colors and a far wider range. But the important thing to remember, it seems to us, is the fact | that the orchestra builds a fire and puts on gloves to play a& “hot” tango.
