Fale: Radio Talks af 7:30 Yorkin | Stoopnagle ‘Campaign’ at Same Hour

Postmaster General to Get Local Outlet Through Station WIRE.

WIRE, local NBC outlet, is to hook up with the Mutual network tonight long enough to bring you a political address by Postmaster General James A. Farley at 7:30 o'clock. Meanwhile, NBC's Blue network will be offering a political broadcast of its own at the same hour, when Col. Frank Knox will be heard speaking before the United Retail Merchants’ Association in Hagerstown, Md. Col. Knox’ address will be the ‘opening shot in the G. O. P. Eastern offensive. Gov. Landon is scheduled for radio broadcasts next Saturday afternoon, and on Monday and Wednesday nights of next week. During tonight's speeches, the campaign efforts of Budd to keep Col. 8toopnagle out of the White House are to go on as usual, over WLW. ” ” ” Two more local contestants have been awarded streamlined bicycles in the Lum and Abner daily jingle contest, and Indianapolis now leads the country with three prize-win-ning limerick writers. Latest winners are Richard Pecsock, 4575 Guilford-av, and Thomas Scanlon, 1440 N. Mount-st. They team up with Esther Fuller, 14, of 25 8. Tremont-st, who carried off first honors in the city.

Every one in the Community Sing audiences on Wednesday nights knows the answers, and that’s what “Tiny” Ruffner is complaining about. Mr. Ruffner, who pops questions as he passes among the visible listeners, agrees that as a nation we are quick on the comeback, but the special brand of queries needed is hard to find. If you listen to the program at 7:30 o'clock tonight, over WFBM, you probably will notice that Mr. Ruffner's questions are short, provocative or just amusing—such as, for instance, “What's wrong with women?” or “How do you call your dog?” “Tiny” spends plenty of time dur-

ing the week figuring out something |

new to pop at his hearers. He's been getting help recently from Homer Rodeheaver, recently appointed song leader for the series, who has had many years of experience in entertaining typical American audiences. And if you have wondered whether or not the answers on this program are planned in advance, the answer is “no”—and on reliable authority. The sponsors _ prearranged the first two programs, but since then replies have been entirely spontaneous. ” tJ 2 Vincent Lopez is authorizing a series of magazine articles incorporating his experiences during 20 years of show business. The stories will take their title from the maestro’'s familiar tag line, - “Lopez speaking.”

Good Music

BY JAMES THRASHER

Alexander Borodin’s Second Symphony, in which the chemist-com-poser painted an epic picture of the ancient Russian knights, is to occupy most of the broadcast portion of tonight's Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert which WGN will carry. :at 7:30 o'clock. -Clarence Evans, “third string” conductor of the organization, will direct the program from Grant Park.

Borodin said that the first movement of this work was intended to portray the gatherings of princes; the second to recall the songs of the Slavic troubadours, and the last to represent the banquets of heroes, with the music of the bamboo flute and Russian guzla heard above the din of the convivial warriors. The symphony was written during the years 1871-77, the same period in which its composer was working on his other national saga, the opera “Prince Igor.” Scholars have found passages of considerable similarity in the two works, which is not surprising. In his devotion to the life and music of his native country, Borodin resembles his predecessor, Glinka. It was Glinka’s nationalistic enthusiasm which pointed the way to the later -musical patriots, Moussotgsky, Rimsky - KorsakofT, Balakirev, Dargomijsky and the composer under discussion. Tchaikovsky, branded as a “cosmopolitan” by the above artists, remained beyound this purely Russian pale.

Two Facts Disappointing

New WIRE Offices

Under Construction

A new suite of offices for WIRE is being constructed just below the station's second-floor headquarters on -N. Meridian-st in the space formerly occupied by the Indianapolis Bible College. We can assure you that the new rooms will have

paneled walls - of natural-finish

wood and electric lights—which is as far- as remodeling has progressed at this writing. : » » 2 For his final appearance as conductor of the Cavalcade of America -—in - Music, Bandmaster Arthur Pryor has prepared two special features. First will be a “Parade of Bands,” tracing the development of bands and their music from the Revol: tionary fife and drum. through the “silver cornet” a of the "0s, regimental and college bands to the present-day concert organizations. To illustrate modern performance Mr. Pryor and his players are to do two excerpts from Giordani’s opera, “Andre Chenier.” The second novelty will be an explanation of a concert band's construction, with
