The “Perfect Fool” to radio listeners and theater audiences is a perfect father to Keenan Wynn, who is shown above with the comic in
an NBC dressing room before a
broadcast. Keenan, who recently |
launched his stage career in a Fhiladelphia theater, seems to have a few suggestions about his dad's script, and apparently the comedian
agrees with him. WIRE at 7 o'clock Saturday night.

ACCORDING to Gretta Palmer, women delegates have put the fear of the Lord and their con-
stituents into the hearts of male delegates more than anything else. In the old days a convention meant, | for the men, an out-of-town stag | party, during which most of the | delegates were in the barroom, ending with a grand banquet with a set of ribald after-dinner speeches which few of the delegates were sober enough to hear. The women delegates, Miss Palmer shows, have changed all this and they now hold the men down to the business for which the convention

Good Radio Music
By JAMES THRASHER
The biggest music news of the rad
| the announcement that the phenomenal 20-year-old ‘violinist, Yehudi | Menuhin, and his equally gifted sister, Hephzibab, pianist, will be heard together for the oniy time this season on the Ford Symphony Orchestra
broadcast Sunday night (WFBM at 9 Hephzibah, who is 16, is slated to
Sonata and two movements of the Franck Sonata in A Major with her
jo season, to my way of thinking, is
o'clock). play the last movement of a Mozart
brother, and a Chopin etude and® prelude as solos. Yehudi will be
with the orchestra. Surely there has been no such brother-and-sister combination in music since the Mozart children were astounding Europe some 170 years ago. It seems incredible that genius could strike more than once in the same family—more than incredible when one knows that the Menuhins 14-year-old sister, Yalta, likewise is a pianist of the first order. = ”n = T is impossible to speak of these remarkable young artists without paying tribute to their parents. They have nurtured the Heaven-
markable wisdom. Their first thought has been for the children’s general education, normal development and sane outlook; their last thought, exploitation. Consequently, their son and daughters have grown to be sane as well as brilliant. There is nothing of the musical “freak” about them. All are outstanding scholars, with a fluent command of Italian, French, Spanish, Germgn, Hebrew and Russian as well as English, Yehudi is in his second season of retirement at presen’. No slave to his art, he (or his parents) decided that the strain of concert playing, the incessant public appearance almost since babyhood, necessitated a rest. So he has been studying, resting and letting his artistic stature develop normally. = =
: n EPHZIBAH never will duplicate He: brothier’s international tri-
umphs, if the elder Menuhins have their say. (So far they have.) They feel that the rigorous life of a virtuoso was not meant to be woman's lot. With their innate, racial devotian to the home, they have set the career of wife and mother above what appears to be certain and lasting fame as a performer. Perhaps the decision is wise, no matter how much the public might be disappointed. In this case, the debate over whether an artist's life belongs to him—or herself or to the public has been settled. At any rate, we should cherish young Miss Menuhin’s infrequent appearances all the more. On the basis of recordings I have heard, I feel that she is even a greater artist than her brother.
LSO on the air tonight and tomorrow—James G. McDonald of the New York Times, former high commissioner for Jewish and Christian refugees from Germany, is io speak on “The Chalienge of the Refugee Problem” on CBS at 5:15 p. m. today in connection with the 25th anniversary of Hadassah, women’s Zionist organization. The sesquicentennial celebration of the University of Pittsburgh, with talks by University Chancellor John G. Bowman and Mayor Cornelius D. Scully of Pittsburgh, will be broadcast by the NBC-Blue network at 7:30 p. m. Mrs. Clara Savage Littledale, Parents’ Magazine editor, is to be the CBS “Magazine of the Air” guest speaker at 10 a. m. tomorrow. She is to discuss “Building Character in Children,” y 3

many of the organization's 1500 chapters. Similar programs will be broadcast today in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Italy and possibly other
—— | countries.
n » It's difficult to write about Thurs-
”
—— | day offerings without referring to
the variety shows, sv I may as well tell you that Kate Smith and Rudy Vallee will open the parade with inviting programs. Kate's chief bid for listeners tonight (CBS-WFBM at 7 o'clock) will be Walter Hampden, in a scene from his current ves hicle, Ibsen's “An Enemy of the Peo-
ple.” Others of the Broadway cast will be heard in supporting roles.
—— [Kate originally scheduled a scene
from the rollicking “You Can't Take It With You” for tonight, but the substitution—a very able one—was made. Rudy’s galaxy of stars for his NBC-WIRE program at 7 o'clock includes Jean Hersholt, famous for for his movie roles with the quintuplets, and Hilaire Belloc, English writer, who will be presented in his first American radio interview, And, of course, there's Edgar Bergen and his dummy, Charlie McCarthy. Most interesting of Rudy's stars, though, is Jean Sablon, French singer who will be heard tonight for the first time in this country. NBC recently imported Sablon from Paris, where he was a musical com= edy and radio singer. If you watch his performances, you probably will be able to follow his radio “build=up,” for NBC doubtless will try to popularize him with American audiences. His first chance is tonight, on the program which has launched many entertainers on successful radio careers.

A sketch from James M. Barrie’s “Mary Rose” will be presented by Ruth Chatterton as part of “Show Boat” on NBCWLW at 8 o'clock tonight. Miss Chatterton has been a frequent guest star this season, particularly since her outstanding performance in the movie version of “Dodsworth.” Two child stars, Mary Small, 16-year-old NBC singer, and Marjorie Edwards, 14-year-old violinist, also will be presented by Lanny Ross during the program. Molasses ’'n’ January, who have been vacationing in the South, are to he back. n A couple of “wise guys,” James Cagney and Sidney Skolsky, Holly= wood columnist, and a famous lady, Mary Garden, are on Bing Crosby's guest list for his delightfully informal “Music Hall” show (WLW at 9 o'clock). Bing will be assisted, of course, by Bob Burns when the ribbing of Messrs. Cagney and Skolsky begins. Mary Garden will be interviewed—by Bing only—and will sing numbers most frequently requested by her audiences.

It is unfortunate that radio's best and most popular discussion program, “America’s Town Meeting,” is broadcast in competition with two good variety shows, “Show Boat” and “Music Hall.” Beginning at 8:30 p. m. on NBC-WIRE, it is, for the first half hour, opposite WLW’s “Show Boat” and for the second portion, opposite ‘Music Hal.” Youth will be recognized on the “Town Meeting” discussion tonight, with its speakers, three young men and two young women, prepared to discuss what young America expects from the United States and what, in turn, it is prepared to give its country. Alfred M. Lilienthal, 23, First Voters’ League president, will lead the discussion. Others to be heard are Homer Paul Anderson, 22, American Farm Youth editor; William W. Hinckley, 26, American Youth Congress president; Molly Ward, 23, National Students Union secretary, and Patricia Wood, 21, Vassar graduate and Young Republican worker. The inclusive subject, “What Shall America Do for Youth,” was chosen so both speakers and audience members may attack or praise any phase of present governmental or social activity affecting young people. The program should be among the most interesting of many worthwhile “America’s Town Meet
u id
ling" discussions this season.
