Even with Rudy Vallee on WIRE and his boys and girls on WFBM t

at 7 o'clock tonight, and Maj. Bowes he following hour, there may be a

few who will be glad to know that Jose Iturbi and the Rochester Philharmonic are on the NBC-Blue network stations at 7:30 p. m. Mr. Iturbi—need I remind you that he’s playing here Feb. 28—has selected an all-Wagner program, with Beal Hober as soloist. It's good

To begin with, there will be the Overture to “The Flyselection in view of this early work's |

revival.

Following, listeners are to hear the lovely “Siegfried Idyll” and the Funeral March from “Goetterdaemmerung.” Miss Hober will sing “Traeume’—a sketch, as you probably know, for the second act love music in “Tristan”—and the program will conclude with “The Ride of the Valkyries.”

When one thinks of the early Beethoven string quartets it usually is of the collection marked Op. 18. But the Kreiner String Quartet tomorrow afternoon is to do the F Major Quartet, Op. 14 No. 1. This is Beethoven's transcription of the E major piano sonata marked Op. 14 No. 2—unless the writer's memory for figures has slipped. If you have played the sonata it's easy to imagine it fitting nicely into the quartet medium. In conclusion the Kreiner ensem-

ble is to do the Adagio from the same composer's Quartet, Op. 127. CRS will carry she broadcast at 2 p. m.,, with WFBM picking it up 15 minutes later. 2 * oo” Rather abstract-sounding is the title of Mabel Wood-Hill’'s composition on the local #'ederal Music

Overtures and the innovations of Wagner's music dramas are slated for Dr. Walter Damrosch’s attention on tomorrow’s Music Appreciation Hour (WIRE at 1 p. m.). The overtures will include that by Beethoven for “Egmont” and Thomas’ to his opera “Mignon.” Wagnerian excerpts will be the Dance of the Apprentices from “Die Meistersinger” and the Magic Fire Music from “Die Walkuere.”

saci Coogan, Mitzi Green and Abbe Children on Air Tonight.

By RALPH NORMAN

“America’s Town Meeting,” NBC's open forum discussion of current political, social and economic questions, doubtless is encouraged and indorsed by many educational and I social leaders, judges, legislators and | others in public life. | None, though, supports the pro- | gram more enthusiastically than

| Judge Herbert E. Wilson of Marion | County Superior Court. He not |only listens regularly, but urges jis friends to acquaint themselves

| |

with this NBC broadcast which WIRE carries at 8:30 o'clock on { Thursday nights. Director George V. Denny, who | arranges the discussions, should be | pleased with Judge Wilson's report that persons who “discover” the [| “Town Meeting” at his suggestion | invariably declare it the most in- | teresting broadcast they hear.

” "

The NBC feature is broadcast weekly in co-operation with several organizations interested. in education by radio. It is nonpartisan and is conducted informally to allow discussion by the audience, which meets in New York’s Town Hall, where the broadcast originates. If you. heard last week's discussion of the proposed Federal Court reorganization and heard announcement of tonight's topic, you know that “Can Democracies Avoid Dictatorship” is to be debated. Speakers are to be Norman Thomas, Socialist leader; H. V. Kaltenborn, radio commentator, and Olivia Rossetti Agresti, spokesman and official interpreter for Italy on international and industrial problems.

" n n An unusual and pleasant program, called “Vocal Varieties,” is originated by WLW for NBC at 6:15 | o'clock each Thursday evening. An | ensemble of 14 voices—two teams of trios, the De Vore Sisters and the “Smoothies,” and a male octet—-pre-sent popular tunes so skilfully they sound more like an orchestra and vocal group. “Vocal Varieties” is not new on WLW, but the program graduated only recently to the network, and it may, in the smaller program group, attract considerable attention. " u u Tonight's variety shows in brief: Jean Arthur heads Rudy Vallee’s | guest list for his NBC-WIRE pro[gram at 7 o'clock. Miss Arthur, [ you recall, leaped into cinema fame (with “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” {and has appeared more recently in “The Plainsman” and ‘More Than a Secretary.” Two child stars of former days, Jackie Coogan and Mitzi Green, will be reunited on Lanny Ross’ “Show Boat” program, NBC-WLW at 8 o'clock. As youngsters, Jackie and Mitzi played in “Tom Sawyer” and later in “Huck!eberry Finn” to delight a nation still accustomed to silent films. Jackie now heads his own radio program and Mitzi is preparing for a lead role in a forthcoming Broadway production, “Babes in Arms.” The famous Abbe children, Patience, John and Richard, whose book “Around the World in Eleven Years,” was a 1936 best seller, head Bing Crosby's 9 o'clock program which WLW will carry. You also may hear Marion Claire, operatic soprano, and Sophie Tucker. And of course, there's Mr. Burns and bazooka.

Persistent rumors that “Show Boat” is to undergo another shakeup, including a time reduction from one hour to 30 minutes, were spiked yesterday by the advertising director of the sponsoring company. He announced no immediate changes are expected. Since the “Show Boat” cast was revised the first of the year, radio circles have believed the five-year-old program was about to be dropped or reduced in time and | cost.

" "

#2 8 | Although Bobby Breen, juvenile |singing star of radio and movies, has been signed by the NBC Artists Service, no announcement has been made as to how his talents will he | used. NBC, in announcing the con- | tract, reports that Bobby has been | heard on many outstanding pro|grams, intluding those of Jack | Benny and Ben Bernie. Let NBC not forget that Bobby was made famous by Eddie Cantor, whose Sunday evening shows are broad=

cast by CBS.

A letter from Frank O. Sharp, WFBM manager, this week announces the appointment of Frederic Winter to fill Ken EIlington’s newscasting job at the local station. Ken goes to Chicago next week to join the CBS staff, making his last local broadcast Saturday night. Winter, who begins his radio work Sunday, is a member of the local Federal Players troupe, and has played leading roles in many productions at Keith's. He is the second Federal Players auctor to join the WFBM staff, Ned LeFevre, formerly leading man of the unit, having joined the announcers’ staff early this year,
