Release From Contract Is Welcomed by Master Of Ceremonies.

By RUTH McTAMMANY Times Specigl Writer | HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 6. — Dick i Powell will give his fina' perform;ance as master of ceremonies on i the “Hollywood Hotel” radio pro~ jgram Friday. i For the last year, hie has been dis- . contented with the program which once was known as “Dick Powell's broadcast.” His position has become less important, aithough in actual responsibility he nas had te carry the burden—Dick's gracious personality has been used to build up entrances Qf guest stars, Hollywood’s “first lady,” Louella Pare sons and others, : spohsors have

“I'm glad the agreed to let me out of my contract,” Dick said. “The program has long been a matter of contention at the studio where I work. I have had to rehearse every Thursday and Friday afternoons. The loss of my time cost Warners thousands of dollars. In fact, they say they would rather have paid my salary for the brogdcast and kept me at the studio. “They have agreed, however, to any Saturday or Sunday program I care to be on. Warners now are doing programs of their own, and have offered me a spot on one of them. I haven't decided what I am going to do .yet, except this: Outside of the short honeymoon which Joan and I had, I have been pretty well tied down. for several years, and I am looking forward te a few weeks rest. Certainly I'll miss the ‘Hollywood Hotel’ gang.” It is to be predicted that the “gang” will miss Dick. There are many singers to be had, but a master of ceremonies who can carry on with his ease are not pounding on the doors of Hollywood's booking agents,

YES. IN the modern world at least men still grudgingly admit women to success in their own fields—such as business, sport and the like. Recent researches have shown that when a woman boss is put over men they resent it much more than if the boss be a man. For this reason a woman executive or boss has to have more tact, judgment, training—in fact be a better man than a man boss in order to hold the same job. Men somehow feel her success reflects on them.

But the man inside may be contemplating suicide, whereas the beggar has no thought of it; the woman may be bowed with sorrow over a lost child, whereas he is only worrying over getting a warm bed.

The trouble with education is that it can be sold, but it’ cannot Ove bought. No matter how much is paid, no matter how much time, effort, and care are contributed by others, no one can become really educated without his own efforts. — Dr. Alan Valentine, president, University of Rochester.

A letizr from Edward D. King of Sheridp 1, Ind, which should interest loca station managers, reads as follows: : Fe “Why do Indianapolis radio sta tions of en their listeners more hours of good music than do the stations

the cities? : 2 tw is not u :

that WFBM and WIRE were presenting two programs of better music to their competitors’ one. I think a week's perusal of The Times’ radio schedules will give an ever greater ratio. “Even the much-touted Cincinnati station, usually considered tops in radio broadcasting, and operating from a city long noted for its fine music, has traded its heritage and pours out endless mediocre programs but rarely, very rarely, music of higher plane than Pinky Tomlinson (Tomlin?). “Am I justified, then, in reappraising these local stations: in asserting that one dials home for good music and outstate for poor?”

We think Mr. King’s assertions |

are entirely correct. It is not entirely a matter of fewer local commercials which accounts for a preponderance of good music. WFBM and WIRE seem eager to give their listeners a balanced [radio diet which does not neglect lovers of serious music. Given a choice of several varieties of entertainment,

| wants a job, not as a singer, though : sing to a

who broadcast tomen’s household programs. That’s the whole list of leaders.” . :

Listing our favorites of the past year, we discover that several of last year’s poll leaders have been heard infrequently, if at all, during the past several months. Of the op= eratic soloists who led in the 1936 poll, only Nelson Eddy has been on regularly. Lawrence Tivbbett, Lily Pons, Grace Moore and Gladys Swarthout have sung only as guest stars. ~ y Because of swing music populare ity, Benny Goodman's orchesua may rank high this year. The poll may test Shep Fields’ popularity, which seems to be on the upgrade, Ted Husing’s supremacy as a sports announcer never has been challenged, although Bill Slater and Bill Stern for NBC are becoming increasingly popular.

Among the comedians, there seems to have been little change, although the poll may indicate, some shifting of position among’ the top-notchers. Last year's poll forecast Maj. Bowes’ drop from top position of all radio programs. It will .be interesting to see where he finishes in current voting. Several new comedians appeared in the past 12 months, and with exception of Milton Berle, who is heard on Sunday evenings, and Jack Pearl, who performs on Monday evenings, all are off the ain Frank Fay, Ken Murray, Eddie Dowling and Ray Dooley all failed to attract attention.
