The Old Maestro himself, Ben ‘Bernie, whose informal programs have been a network feature for four years, announced to the Unites Press in Hollywood that he is disorchestra. He ex- | plained he has received several film cffers and does not feel he can employ a large number of musicians curing picture engagements. Mr. Bernie did not indicate whether his broadcasts will continue on NBC-WLW on Tuesday nights. I can tell you, though, that he is scheduled for a show at 8 o'clock tonight with Jack Benny as his guest star, and that his own office has announced the appearance of Adolphe Menjou on next week's broadcast.

Mr. Bernie did say that he would keep his “boys” until all were placed with other orchestras, and that should he decide to accept future orchestra engagements, he would pick up new players for short periods. The Bernie show, during the past fall and winter, has become more and more a variety program, with guest stars featured over the orchestra, at one time one of radio's most popular dance bands.

WGN presents the “Three Graces,” its new singing trio which hails from Detroit. They will be remembered by listeners of Rudy Vallee's program. Replacing the Doring Sisters, the “Three Graces” may be heard at 3:45 p. m. today and at 4:30 p. m. tomorrow on the Chicago station. They also will be featured with Harold Stokes’ dance band on Mutual and WGN programs. The girls, left to right, are Kathleen Bretzloff, Annette Bretzloff and Roberta Pearson.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

Georges Enesco, like Igor Stravinsky, is involved in the exchange of courtesies which has sent Artur Rodzinski from his post with the Cleveland Orchestra to conduct the New York Philharmonic Symphony for eight weeks. Mr. Enesco succeeds Mr. Stravinsky as the Cleveland Orchestra's guest conductor this week, and will be heard with the orchestra on tomorrow's broadcast on NBC-WIRE at 12:45 p. m. The complete program has not been announced, but two scheduled items are the Overture to Mozart's “Marriage of Figaro” (how often we're hearing it these past few weeks) and Beethoven's “Eroica” Symphony. That indestructible phantom called Descriptive Music keeps cropping up in Beethoven's works, especially in a consideration of the symphonies. Each of the nine is surrounded by a cluster of conflicting “interpretations”—weighty, enlightening, poetic or ridiculously amusing. a discussion of early American music criticism in the current

Wagner found in the work a triumph of Man as hero as well as soldier, Others have seen in it a celebration of the French Revolution, Certainly the symphony has heroic qualities, though not of an obvious sort. The deep-rooted sincerity of its utterance is a direct contrast to Strauss’ “Heldenle-

And don’t be surprised if he turns up at “Town Hall Tonight” to end the feud which Fred Allen started seve eral weeks ago. n n ”n Two celebrations are booked by NBC-Blue for tonight, The first, at 9:30 o'clock, will originate at the University of Illinois, and will conclude a five-day celebration of the school’s 69th anniversary. One hundred thirty thousand alumni throughout the nation are expected to gather in banquet halls or hones to hear the program, which is to include the Illinois Concert Band, the Men's Glee Club, and greetings from President Arthur Cutts Willard and others. The other celebration to be broadcast at 10:30 o'clock will mark Texas Independence Day. " n ” Wilbur D. Peat, John Herron Art Museum director, is to be guest speaker on an Indianapolis Public Schools WIRE program at 2:15 p. m. tomorrow. He will discuss the exhibits of Dutch masterpieces now on view at the museum. ” n » With movie stars almost monopolizing the best radio hours tonight, I find interesting a statement issued by Lenox R. Lohr, NBC president, on his return to New York after several weeks in Hollywood. The executive emphatically denied that a movie-radio agreement regulating microphone appearances of film stars is being considered or has been considered at any time. President Lohr declared radio is a valuable ally to the movie industry, and cited as proof soaring box office figures. These he attributed in part to radio appearances by leading players. ” n " In case you haven't learned of the Tuesday night movie parade, it begins at 7:30 o'clock, with Al Jolson, Martha Raye and Parkyakarkus on a CBS-WFBM program. Parkyakarkus, who formerly was Eddie Cantor's stooge, replaces Sid Silvers, according to a telegram this morning from New York, and will forego plans for his own radio show for a two-year contract with the Jolson offering. The comedian, whose real name is Harry Einstein, was married recently to Thelma Leeds, movie singer. Then at 8:30 o'clock, also on CBSWI'BM, you may tonight hear Hugh Herbert who will be guest-starring for Jack Oakie. Judy Garland, also of the films, will return to “Oakie College” for another invitation per=formance. | Or at 8:30 o'clock you may prefer [the NBC-WIRE Fred Astaire show, which tonight will feature Fred, Comedian Butterworth and Maestro Johnnv Green as 8 vocal trio. Astaire is programmed as first bass, Gireen as second bass and Butterworth as shortstop! n ” » From the stage, as well as from films, comes “Music Hall's” No. 1 entertainer for the CBS-WFBM 7 o'clock program. She is Helen Morgan, who returns to the microphone after a long absence, to sing her famous “My Bill.” The same program will present Lucielle Browning, young North Carolina contralto whe has sung with the Philadelphia Grand Opera Co. and the Metropolitan Opera. She is another of the Juilliard School's graduates to turn to radio. ” n ” Sedley Brown and Allie Low Miles, who run the NBC-Blue network's “Husbands and Wives” program at 8:30 o'clock each Tuesday night, dis covered a simple voice - testing method to use on the program's ape plicants, Because they know a person who has a good telephone voice also has la good microphone voice, they call [all applicants by telephone.
