Vernacular of Radio Announcers Not Expected to Change American Speech, Barnard Professor Tells Conference

IN BLACK HELL BLOW UP LKE A TARIT

Influence Is Not Equal To Week's Motor Trip, He States.

BY RALPH NORMAN

Don't expect radio, particularly | announcers, to change American | speech. | This declaration, Science Service | reports, was made by W, Cabell | Greet, American Speech editor and English professor at Barnard Cele | lege, to delegates at the first na- | tional conference on educational | broadcasting. Announcers were criticised for having “conceived themselves to be magnificent doormen and butlers,” and Mr. Greet maintained “the | flunky speech, symbol of dignity, is no more likely to be imitated than the fancy dress of major-do= mos or the ushers in Radio Center Music Hall.” Declaring he doubted whether the speech influence of a year of radio is equal to that of a week's automobile trip in a distant state, Mr. Greet explained the effect of the comedians, even Will Rogers and Eddie Cantor, has been ephermal, and that news commentators are ; | imitated only by radio people hope- % | ing to share their success. { ®» ” » Perhaps we are fortunate the public soon forgets comedians’ favorite expressions. Would yon every day want te hear “Wanna buy a duck?” Or “Vas you dere Charlie?” “S0-0-0-0," let the comedians have their day, but fet us alse forget their expressions, amusing at the moment, but tiresome after repetition,

“Now, aren't you glad I went ahead and put up these pickled peaches? I told you one of our boys would be home for Christmas.”

THE Bennett Juniper, aged tree recently brought to light in California, grows in a wind-swept elevation of 8500 feet, in the Sierras of Tuolumne County. It is only 80 feet in height, but has a trunk diameter of 21 feet at the ground. It is a rugged old veteran

of 1000 years before the birth of Christ. » - *

know it, is ynknown. He says when the missionaries translated the Bible into the language of the Algonquin Indians they could find no word for love. Wives in primitive tribes are passed about with no thought of affection on either side. Dr. Durant thinks it is chiefly the restraints on sex relations that civilization imposes that cause romantic love to develop in the young. Indiscriminate satisfaction of the sex impulses he thinks tends to kill romance.

Good Radio Music

BY JAMES THRASHER

Choral singing must be a popular pastime with Syracuse children. At least, the New York city had to limit the roster to 2500 for its sixth annual Christmas Carol Festival by public school pupils, a portion of which is to be broadcast by WFBM tomorrdw at 1:15 p. m.

Among boys’ choir of 600, which will sing “Behold a Branch Hath Flowered,” by Praetorius; Gevaert's “Chanson Joyeuse de Noel” and other carols. The 125-voice high school chorus will do “Jesu Bamino” and Bach's “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.” Fifteen hundred children will pay tribute to Margaret Coote Brown, a former music teacher now blind and crippled, when they sing her composition, “Under the Stars.” The full chorus will be heard in traditional Christmas songs.

Syracuse schools, will conduct the entire performance. » = ” Rosario Bourdon, whom you have heard with Jessica Dragonette for many years, is to be guest conductor on the Richard Crooks-Margaret Speaks broadcast over WIRE at 7:30 ¢'clock tonight. He will assume the position left vacant by the death of William Daly—at least for this broadcast.

Both singers will give you Christmas or religious songs. Mr. Crooks selections are Adam's “O Holy Night” and Malotte’s setting of “The Miss

offerings. At 1:30 p. m. on the NBC-Blue network, a Detroit string quartet and Maurice Sumesnil, pianist, will do a quintet in one movement by the contemporary French composer, Jean Hure. Couperin's suite, “L'Imperiale,” for two violins, cello and piano, will be done by Homer Schmitt, Bernard Goodman, Robert Swenson and Arthur Shepherd over WFBM at 2:30 p. m. The performers are Clevelanders, as is the program's vocal soloist, Marie Simmelink Kraft, wife of the well-known organist, Edwin Arthur Kraft. She will offer a group of eight old English songs by Nichol son, Byrd, Clokey, Handel and Dr. Arne. ® = =

Ten minutes after the program went on the air, a crowd of 300 to 400 persons who had been locked outside the theater broke down the doors and rushed into the already crowded orchestra section. Twenty ushers and police prevented the une wanted guests from rushing down the aisles, and because of the riot noise that was part of the play, lis teners were unaware of the cone fusion.

There will be four to choose from, NBCBlue carrying descriptions of the Santa Clara - Louisiana State Sugar Bowl game early in the afternoon, later swinging to the Rose Bowl for Don Wilson's and Ken Carpenter's description of the Washington-Pittsburgh encounter.
