bound merely to record one's impressions—but I should say people who “keep up with the times” certainly live more, and find life more of an adventure than those whe cling always to the old ways, especially old habits of thought. Seems to me the “good life” is that of the “ha medium,’ —moderation in all things, even opinions— a due regard for the past and its traditions and conquests and en openness of mind to the new.

country and the answers were overwhelmingly for the “smart” girl. Some students said, “Lots of pretty girls can be awfully sloppy’ —I'm in on that answer. Others said, “If she looks smart we think she is pretty.” When I was 20 I would have thought this whole question was awfully important—it really is at that age; but boys, after 30 years of happy married life—well confidentially, I still think, like Lincoln's rat-hole, it's worth look« ing into.

Beethoven suffered az much tribulation from his theatrical music as did Schubert. ‘The opera never attained much success in his lifetime. The opening performance took place in November of 1806 in a Vienna | overrun by Napoleon's soldiers, Most | of the Viennese who might have ap- | preciated it had fled long since. the third night. | The best authorities tell us that the order of the overtures’ composition was 2, 3, 1 and the “Fidelio” overture. The second was played at the “premiere.” In the ensuing four months before the next production, Beethoven wrote No. 3, a revision of the original. The “Fidelio” usually is heard in| the opera's German performances, we understand, but here No. 3 holds the field, both in the “Fidelio” productions and as a concert piece. Besides the Beethoven, Mr. Iturbi is to do the “Haffner” Symphony which Mozart wrote for a family of that name, then promptly forgot it. Fortunately, the world has not done likewise, Cencluding the concert will be

Mutual will dedicate its coast-to-coast system with a gala four-hour | program Dec. 29, althouga Its fii8 | broadcast from the West was the [recent Southern California-Notre | Dame football game. Mutual was organized two years ago, being rec- | ognized officially as America's third | network on Oct. 1, 1934. | Organization was an oulgrowth of {exchange of programs between | WOR, Newark: WGN, Chicago, and | WLW, Cincinnati, and consisted at [the beginning of only two broad- | casts each week.

Fred Allen made a good program better, we believe, by turning his amateur p~=riod over to unemployed professional entertainers, Last week's prize winners were Tommy Hyde and his Honey Boys, old-time minstrel men. Not meny years ago they appeared in vaudeville with a just-fair juggler named Fred Allen. Tonight's headliner, WLW at 8 o'clock, will be William Fisher, department store floor walker who saw the bottom drop out of vaudeville just as he was ready for a stage career, Fred arranged his appearance tonight as a special tribute to the good nature of sales people despite the Christmas shopping rush, n " n Ken Christie, pianist and arranger for the Town Hall Tonight quartet, likes to recall a trick an orchestra in a CBS studio once played on Director Don Voorhees, who now leads the “Cavalcade of America” orchestra. The studio clock was set five minutes fast. The director arrived, picked up his baton, and waited for the second hand to indicate the starting moment, “The hand came around,” Ken tells, “and Don gave the band the down beat for the theme song. Not a sound! Don looked panicstricken, waved at the men frantically and then gave another down beat. This time they played—a horrible discord. I never saw any one look as horrified as Don—thinking that was going out on the air.” And the director was So un=nerved, Ken relates, he hardly could conduct the program. » n ” Another story is told by Andre Baruch, WABC-CBS announcer for six years, who the other day received a letter from his own station advising him his audition would be delayed again. They hoped, the letter said, he would be available when WABC held its next trials to select new talent! The way Mr. Baruch got his job was queer enough. Seven years ago he wrote the station asking for a job as studio pianist. The audition date was set, and he arrived with music ready to play. He found no piano waiting him. He was told his name was on a list of applicants for announcer. “IT never had done much announcing,” Mr. Baruch said, “ex-

But our ad- | vice to he around your radio set at | 4 o'clock” tonight should be heeded, | for at that time the Gordon String | Quartet and Frank Sheridan will perform it on the Coolidge Library | of Congress broadcast.
Any One Can Tell Life Story Well
Every man, woman and child is a good radio actor if given the assignment of telling his own life story, according to Phillips Lord, director of “We, the People,” heard over the NBC-Blue network at 4 p. m. each Sunday. “They know what they're talking

cept to pinch hit on the small stations occasionally. As long as I was there, thouzh, I thought I might as well take the audition. They hired me. So I have been an announcer instead of pianist ever
since.” n n 5
The fifth edition of NBC's new “Professional Parade” (WIRE at 8 o'clock tonight) will feature the Memory Lane Trio, whose combined ages total 210 years; Blix Ruskay, impersonator, and several singers. You'll likely be seeing and hearing some of these Wednesday evening entertainers on vaudeville stages before many months. Unfortunately, now that NBC is prepared to help unemployed professional troupers, there are few theaters playing vaudeville, ou ” ” It's unfair to organized, and unorganized, Gracie Allen fans to ignore the dizzy dame's radio adventures longer. At the moment, Gracie's and George's CBS programs (WFBM at 7:30 o'clock %toare only interludes away from paeking for their journey to New York just after Christmas. Only two of their programs will originate in the East before they return early in January to their new Hollywood home which George is presenting to Gracie as a Christmas gift. It's supposed to be a secret, but Gracie knows all about it. n ” nu George Bernard Shaw, Eddy Duchin, Clark Gable and Al Smith may look forward to being carjcatured in music by Meredith Willson, whose broadcasts are. heard on
