Good Radio Music

course, that by Richard Crooks and Margaret Speaks, which you hear on . The new Blue network program is to present Frank Munn and | Natalie Bodanya. | Mr. Munn needs little introduc- | tion, since he hasn't been absent a week from the air waves in 13 years. Miss Bodanya came up from New York's Bast Side, by way of observing settlement workers and Marcella Sembrich, to last spring's experimental Metropolitan season. She made her debut as Micaela in “Carmen” and promptly was engaged for the regular winter season. Music on the Munn-Bodanya series will be of a lighter nature than that presented by Mr. Crooks and Miss Speaks. - Which makes it very light indeed.

“Met,” we are informed thats: mere newcomers will be engag == the coming season unless it™Q new artist of sensational attainments.” The Metropolitan Auditions of the Air supplied many in its initial season of broadcasting, and they will be heard during the present season. The present Mi tan roster numbers around 88, of whom 21 are new. Seventeen were or left at the end of last season, making an increase of four in the personnel. = n = Debussy’s only string quartet, which the Walden Quartet is to play

Speaking of new singers and the i.

was among the first of the French master's work to be heard in America. It was introduced by the Kneisel Quartet about 1905. In those days Debussy’s music was described, even by his friend, Alfred Bruneau, as “mysterious, vague, fluid, haunting and impossible to grasp.” Since then the western world has grasped it rather firmly. The quartet, together with that by Ravel, seem ta be the only Twentieth century string quartets that have found their way into the standard repertoire of every leading chamber of music ensemble.

Have you noticed the number of “top” dance bands now heard in Mutual's late broadcasts. There are, besides Heidt and his Brigadiers, _Lombarde, Benny Goodman, "Kyser, Eddy Duchin, Ted Vveems, Shep Fields, Cab Calloway,

Noel Coward to Broad-

cast From New York on Theater Hour.

BY RALPH NORMAN If you like radio drama, Monday night is the one to spend at home. Beginning with Helen Hayes’ 17 o'clock NBC-Blue broadcast of her serial, “Bambi,” listeners may find good dramatic programs on the networks until 9:45 o'clock. Miss Hayes probably is best consistently, although Radio Theater (CBS and WFBM at 8 o'clock) frequently pre=sents actors and actresses extremely capable in radio acting. Tonight's Radio Theater offering will be Noel Coward's “Cavalcade,” starring two prominent film players, Herbert Marshall and Madeleine Carroll. A stunt which may make the presentation more interesting but no more effective dramatically will be a brief talk between acts by Mr. Coward.

The actor-author will be heard from back stage at the National Theater in New York City, where he is appearing in his newest play, “Tonight at 8:30.” “Cavalcade” will go on the air from the CBS Hollywood studios, and of several Monday evening dramatic offerings, is the only one presented before a large studio audience.

“Cavalcade,” every one by now must know, is the story of an era in England beginning on New Year's Eve, 1899, and ending on the same day in 1929. American interest this winter in affairs British makes the Coward drama a particularly suitable New Year's offering.

Mr. Lawes’ “20,000 Years in Sing Sing” program, which WIRE will carry at 8 o'clock tonight will dramatize a true prison story called “Crime de Luxe.” It concerns a clever “mystic” who became rich, but who fell in love with the wrong woman. These crime dramas usually are written and presented in an over-theatri-cal manner—a manner, though, which seems to be effective for this type of entertainment,

Last of Monday night's dramas is “Famous Jury Trials,” presented by Mutual and carried by WLW at 9 o'clock. This program, newest of the group discussed here, presents court room scenes, with flashhacks to re-enact the actual crime, Script is written from court records, names of persons involved being changed, of course. un o o

Queer things occasionally happen behind the scenes of radio, and listeners seldom are given an explana= tion We have in mind particular= ly the sudden removal of “My Battle With Life,” starring James J. Braddock, world’s heavyweight champion, from NBC. With considerable advance publicity, this new program was inaugurated only a few weeks, ago and Mr. Braddock was reported to have a year's con= tract stipulating a $1500 weekly sal ary. Although NBC program announcements still list Mr, Braddock in his dramatization of events in his career, a substitute program called “Unsung Heroes” replaced the Braddock show last week. It is reported that script for the new pro-

that Braddock could not continue the series because of illness, but that NBC refused to allow the explana= tion read. Mr. the NBC studio to hear the first broadcast of the new series. “Unsung Heroes” is to be heard on NBC-Blue at 6:15 .0'clock each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening, " on n

Despite Braddock's radio difficulties, Jack Demsey is contemplating a microphone fling, and although plans are incomplete, it is expected the first of his programs—they are to be recorded-— will be heard about Feb. 1. Jack has been heard occasionally as guest perfarmer, and his voice has given considerable trouble—it is too high to sound through the loud speaker, as one expects a former heavyweight champion to sound. But Jack has been practicing public speaking, and is said to have made considerable improvement.

" u n

Father Coughlin, for the first time since his post-election address, will be heard on the networks when he delivers a New Year's message on CBS Thursday afternoon. He will speak from his Royal Oak (Mich.) shrine studio at 4:15 o'clock on an unannounced subject—CBS has listed the talk simply—“New Year's Message.” " = 2

A musical tour of the world has

his Brigadiers for their CBS and WFBM broadcast at 7 o'clock tonight. If the genial Mr. Heidt announces the novelty, we wish him better luck than he had with his last week's program. Four or five mistakes in lines delighted the studio audience—and listeners, too, probably—but were, we imagine, rather embarrassing to Mr. Heidt, ® un n

Newest air trick is Heidt's interviews with dancers during Mutual's late broadcasts. The director calls couples from the dance floor, and interviews them on serious and not-so-serious subjects... They are absolutely im-. promptu, and there is much hemming and hawing, but the idea is catching on, and we'll likely be hearing more of this soon.
