ganized T5-piece orchestra, will be heard from the new Paramount music recording studio in Hollywood, which the famous conductor helped to design. Four of Mr, Stokowski's transcriptions are listed, including the air debut of his arrangement of Debussy's “Claire de Lune.” The others are Luther's chorale, “Ein’ feste Burg”; an old English carol, “What Child Is This?” and a Russian carol, second of the eight Russian folk songs transcribed by Liadoff. You may know the English selection better under its other title, *“Greensleeves.” Also on the program will be the Farandole from Bizet's “L’Arlesienne” suite, which is based on an old French carol, “The March of the Three Kings,” and the chorale, “Wach Auf” from Wagner's “Die Meistersinger.”

Mr. Stokowski, with a newly or-&

meanwhile the 27-year-old Berlioz did not suffer in silence.” It was a hotly romantic age, and its spirit is reflected in the composer's preface to the score:

“A young musician of morbid

poisons himself with opium in a fit of amorous despair. The narcotic dose, too weak to result in death, plunges him into a heav~ sleep accompanied by the strangest visions, during which his sensations, sentiments and recollections are translated by his sick brain into musical thoughts and images.

a melody, like a fixed idea he finds and hears everywhere.” After a century, such a “program” seems rather laughable, but the music is a different matter. When one considers that the symphony was written three years after the death of Beethoven and Schubert, and came before the colorful days of ' Wagner, the conception and brilliant orchestral technique are even more amazing. There are five movements: Passions”; in the

We agree with Rudy that Edgar Bergen, the ventriloquist who scored a hit last week, deserves a return performance. He gets it toe night. The first ventriloquist on radio, Mr, Bergen depends far more upon clever conversation than upon ventriloquizing. And it makes no difference to audiences whether he talks to a stooge or to himself.

President Roosevelt's Christmas greetings to the nation at 4 p. m. today (WFBM and WGN) will preface an evening of many special yule programs on the three networks, Several unusual programs, including one around-the-world broadcast, are scheduled, and regular Thursday shows will feature, of course, the Christ mas theme. Some of the interesting monmusical special presentations to be heard tonight and tomorrow follow. Christmas music on radio is discussed in another space on this page. o on ” A portion of the Midnight Mass from the historic church, Ara Coeli, in Rome will be heard on CBS at 5 p. m. today. Harry W. Colmery, American Le gion national commander, is to dee liver a message to Legion members at 5:35 p. m. on the NBC-Red net= work. 2 2 n A little, white-haired woman who hasn't heard her husband's voice on Christmas Eve since she married 35 years ago will hear him wish her Merry Christmas at 9 o'clock tonight in a CBS program WFBM will carry, The woman is Mrs. James Kemmy of New York City, and her husband, Jim Kemmy, for 38 consecutive Christmas Eves has been in the cab of his engine attached to a limited train taking others home for holidays. Mr. Kemmy in the broadcast tonight conducted by Edwin C. Hill will represent the thousands who work that others may enjoy the Christmas holiday. Others to be interviewed by Mr, Hill include a community druggist, a Chicago policeman and a tele phone switchboard operator, ” ” n

Chimes of famous churches, ine cluding Riverside Church, New York, and the University of Chi= cago Chapel, will be broadcast at 10:15 p. m. by CBS. At the same time, NBC-Blue is to present an adaptation of Dickens’ “A Christe mas Carol.” EJ n ” Both CBS and NBC will be on the air early tomorrow morning with religious programs, NBC broadcasting from 5:30 to 7 a. m, a service from Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church of Chicago. n 2 ” . At 3 p. m, tomorrow NBC-RBlue will pick up celebrations in rine places in Canada, and at 4:45 p. m. the same network has scheduled a program from St. Thomas, Nev., featuring the last Christmas cele= bration of this little town. Waters from the lake formed by Boulder Dam will have submerged the village before another year has rolled around. n ” n Not because she can sing, act or because her name is Mary Christmas, a Racine, Wis., woman is to be featured on the NBC “Jamboree” at 9 o'clock tonight over WIRE. Mrs. Christmas, who is married to Sam Christmas, gets thousands of let ters annually from children anxious to know if she is Santa Claus’ wife. ” ” 4 The NBC “Show Boat” is under= going another personnel shakeup, an annual activity of the sponsors of this long-established program. Helen Jepson is leaving for concert ene gagements after the first of the year, and the status of several other performers is indefinite. As doubtless you know, “Show Boat” is broadcast at 8 p. m. on Thursdays. A man named Maj. Bowes also broadcasts at 8 p. m. on Thursdays, and is getting more of

| the radio audience than the “Show sensibility and ardent imagination |

Boat” sponsors like to concede. For “Show Boat,” turn to WLW; for Maj. Bowes, turn to WFBM-—and don’t accuse us of favoritism! = n » Lanny Ross and his “Show Boat” cast will devote most of toe night's carols, and Lanny and Miss Jep~ son are to sing the leading roles in an adaption of Victor Herbert's musical fable, “Babes in Toyland” Lanny will be heard a second time this week when he is guest master of ceremonies for the “Saturday Night Party,” fol lowing Rudy Vallee and-Maj Bowes.

» LJ » M. 8. Block will broadcast a spe= cial message to all employes of t Wm. H. Block Co. at 6:15 o'cles tonight over WFBM. The progra also will include organ solos by St Carolyn and carols sung by & qua tet composed of Mrs, Helen Buch
