However, wives and husbands do change each other considerably as the years go by without either realizing it; if they are happy, they change each other for the better, and if unhappy, for the worse. The chief things you can change in people are their attitudes.

Good Radio Music

BY JAMES THRASHER

Two symphony orchestras are among the next 24 hours’ offerings, along with Thursday night's lavish variety bill. They are the Boston Symphony Orchestra, at 7 o'clock tonight on the NBC-Blue network, and the Cincinnati Symphony over WFBM at 1:45 p. m. tomorrow. Of particular interest to local listeners will be the latter concert, since it features Gregor Piatigorsky, renowned Russion ‘cellist, who is to be the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s next soloist. He is to be heard in the Schumann A Minor Concerto. Eugene clude the Beethoven Eight Symphony, Richard Strauss’ “Don Quixote” and the Prelude to Act III of Wagner's “Lohengrin.”

Goossens’ selections in-

The Bostonians’ concert, under Dr. Serge Koussevitzky, will be another of the Harvard University subscription series. In the hour’s broadcast portion we shall hear Tschaikowsky's “Romeo and Juliet” Overture and the Second Piano Concerto of MacDowell. The soloist is not announced. To revert to the Strauss tone poem, it was heard on a recent New York Philharmonic - Symphony broadcast. This was the first hearing of the work in these parts, broadcast or otherwise, in a long

the only opportunity for most of us to hear the opera whose overture is so familiar. Act III is scheduled for broadcast, with the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra, under Hans Weissbach’s direction, in the pit. 8 s = For the first time since its inception in 1928, Dr. Walter Damrosch’s Music Appreciation Hour will change its form and inject a bit of drama into the proceedings. Dr. Damrosch will impersonate Handel and Beethoven on tomorrow’s broadcast over WIRE at 1 p. m. The stories of Handel's reconciliation with his former patron, George I of England, through the “Water Music,” and the development of the second movement of

Special Equipment to Be Installed to Pick Up Local Debates.

BY RALPH NORMAN America’s Town Meeting, broadcast by NBC and carried locally this winter by WIRE, has been mentioned frequently in this space as one of the outstanding “serious” radio programs. Designed to stimulate discussion of controversial subjects, America’s Town Meeting, as conducted by George V. Denny Jr., under sponsor= ship of the Non-Partisan League for Political Education, presents at 8:30 o'clock each Thursday evening speakers known to have opposing views on the discussion subject. Significant are the findings of a recent listener survey which revealed that 90 per cent of the regular Town Meeting audience continues interest in the debated subjects through supplementary study, 28 per cent regularly continue the

argument after the broadcast and

50 per cent less frequently follow this procedure. To stimulate organization of listening groups (such groups already exist in Rochester, N. Y. Detroit and Los Angeles and at several universities) Mr. Denny proposes to broadcast discussions by these groups, and. NBC has agreed to install the necessary special equipment to pick up speakers from varicus cities. Where the first Tdwn Meeting broadcast of this type will originate has not been announced. Tonight's program will include talks by Clinton L, Bardo, former president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and Gen. Hugh Johnson, former NRA administrator, who writes daily for The Times. The subjéct will be “Can Business Abe sorb Unemployment?”

" 8 n No announcement has come from NBC concerning Rudy Vallee’s program tonight, although the Variety Hour (WLW at 7

o'clock) doubtless will feature several guest stars. Out on the Coast, Bing Crosby has been busy this week assembling a stellar cast for his Music Hall broadcast (WLW at 9 o'clock) which will include Jack Oakie, Mary Astor and Nadine Conner. Mr. Oakie is a frequent visitor at Music Hall.. Tonight's appearance will be his third this year, and may serve to preview his own program to be inaugurated Dec. 29. The comedian’s newest picture, “That Girl From Paris,” is to be shown locally at the Indiana beginning Christmas Day. Miss Astor, who starred recently in the movie version of “Dodsworth,” will be heard with Bing in an informal interview, and Miss Conner, popular West Coast radio singer, will complete guest performances with Russian songs.

# ” u

Incidently, some of Music Hall's best stories and brightest lines are ad libbed. At no time does the entire company get together for rehearsal, and the result is a spontaneous, informal program unlike any other we have heard. Bing insists that Bob Burns is the best “ad libber” at Music Hall, and the sage of Van Buren is equally sure honors should go to Bing, Listeners seem to agree they're both good. ” » n

night) as Horace Nimble is not the lanky rustic you might imagine, nor as Schleppermann is he the short, fat little man you might think, Actually he is the most dapper member of Show Boat’s cast, and usually is taken by strangers for an actor in one of the program's more dignified roles. Show Boat’s guest tonight will be the president of the sponsoring com« pany, who will extend Christmas greetings to the firm's employes throughout the country. Fifteen hundred New York employes will be studio guests.

Myrt and Marge, who for five years entertained CBS audiences with dramatizations based on their own stage experiences, will guest star on Kate Smith’s Band Wagon, WFBM at 7 o'clock tonight. The entertainers, mother and daughter in real life, will make their first broadcast from New York, although they have been heard countless times from Chicago. In addition to Myrt and Marge, Kate. will present her weekly “command appearance” and will sing several numbers.

Just before the broadcast, Ches~ -

“Hugh Sommers,” he was told. « And every one wondered why his :

face went white.

He made 10 explanation, and im- :

to have been spoken by Sommers

before his death.

It wasn’t until after the program that he revealed the strange truth—

Hugh Sommers had been his school chum and closest boyhood friend.
