his blithe partner of radio nonsense chatters at the microphone.

cause there is an “NBC” on the mike, don't think the nitwits are in

the wrong studio.

I CERTAINLY do if they are wisely and carefully managed. A great many churches conduct pretty much of a matrimonial bureau, many pastors organize sociables, suppers and entertainments so that young people may become acquainted with congenial mates under proper conditions: I know one church that organizes a weekly dance where 1500 couples meet each week and hundreds of very happy marriages have resulted. Moreover, many of the finest men and women are either bashful or lack ‘opportunity for meeting congenial mates; and wisely conducted commercial matrimonial bureaus do

a real service to them, But I must

ACCORDING to millions of mental tests, as well as school records, the ability to comprehend new problems probably does not grow much after age 20. In Psychological Moncgraphs, Prof. Frank Freeman, psychologist, shows that mental capacity increases about the same amount each year up to about 16 and then the rate of increase slows down, at least until age 20. Mental capacity probably :continues some growth. up to about 25,

con-

and then runs on a level to about.

30 when mental speed begins to decline slowly, although mental

power continues undiminished throughout life, as shown recently by Dr. Irving Lorge.

But Dorothy Baruch, of Whittier College (in - Educational Psychology) tried out both kinds of verse on three groups of children of the following average ages: Three and a half, five and a half, and approximately six: and a half. A majority of the children in all three age groups expressed preference for the unrhymed verses. Another popyiaz notion apparently gone to pot.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER .

Listeners looking forward to a week of convention concerts beginning Friday probably will be glad of a respite in music broadcasts which demand their attention. At any rate, such broadcasts are rare during

the next 24 hours. ” »

” Do you recall the Sunday night broadcast this past winter when Moritz Rosenthal was Erno Rapee’s guest artist? If so, you doubtless will remember the young baritone who sang on the same program. His name was Donald Dickson, and you'll be likely to hear it often later, for he has been signed by the Metropolitan Opera for its spring season. ; Mr. Dickson has been heard cn NBC programs at 7 o'clock rach Saturday night this season. The young singer—he’s 25—went to New York last fall from Cleveland. In his: home, town he had appeared prominently in the three seasons of opera presented by Artur Rodzinski and the Cleveland Orchestra. He also sang major roles at Chautauqua Lake last summer and created the title role in Albert Stoessel's opera, Garrick,” at’ the Juillard School in New York this season. - He is due for his first “Met” appearance a week from Sunday as Valentine in Gounod’s “Faust.” ” EJ z

'Saymore Saymoore' Tag Wins High School Pupil Visit With Cantor. |

‘| season officially opened today, fea=

tures the networks’ schedules toe night and tomorrow, nearly all programs taking their cue from the nation’s most popular spring and sum=mer sport. CBS and NBC were to broadcast the Washington Senators-Philadel-phia Athletics game this afternoon, and WIRE and WGN include base=ball in tomorrow afternoon’s schedules. WIRE will carry Norman Perry Jr.’s description of the Indian=-apolis-Toledo game at Perry Stadium, and WGN has the Chicago Cubs-Pittsburgh game on its calendar. WIRE's broadcast will begin at 2 p. m, WGN’s at 3 p. m.

Ring Lardner’s famous baseball story, “Alibi Ike,” will be dramatized tonight by “Radio Theater,” with Joe E. Brown in the leading role. The comedian, who stars in “When's Your Birthday?”, at the Circle this week, twice before has played baseball roles for “Radio Theater.” Talented Rochelle Hudson, one of Hollywood's outstanding young players, will be heard tonight as Dolly, Ike's feminine interest, and Roscoe Karns, also of the movies, will have an important role. A between-act feature will present Mr. and Mrs. Babe Ruth, who will speak from New York. Besides adding baseball interest to the program, Babe's appearance should give CBS a chance to “build up” its new sports commentator; who, beginning last week, is heard over the junior network and WFBM at 9:30 o'clock each Wednesday and Friday night. The *“Radio Theater” broadcast will be carried; as usual, by WFBM at 8 o'clock tonight.

To compete with CBS’ baseball show, NBC at 8:30 o'clock will present a “Baseball Roundup,” with talks by the “big three’—Commis= sioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Ford Frick and William Harridge, National and American League presidents. Following this portion of the broadcast, which will originate in New York, NBC will switch the show to Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati and Washington, where 16 team managers each will give oneminute talks on the forthcoming season. > a n ”

Although one comedian—Jack Benny, 1 believe it was—recent= ly presented a radio skit de=signed and guaranteed to end forever all. jokes about Simone Simon's name, comes now Eddie Cantor to call his talkative tel=ephone operator “Saymore Saymoore.” The prize-winning tag was suggested by 14-year-old Susie McKey, a Valdosta, Ga.. high school pupil, and was one of 275, 000 submitted in Cantor's contest. The youngster, Eddie announced last night, will go to Hollywood to be the Cantors’ personal guest, taking her mother with her. “I think Helen Troy should be called Saymore Saymoore,” wrote the prize winner, “because she does.” Those who listen to the Cantor program can’t argue with that reason, which is perfect if simple. . = n on Fikber McGee and Molly now have a new spot, as you may have discovered: last week, but their changing is'in time and not network. Fibber, according to NBC, will take up banking on tonight's show, which WIRE will carry at 8 o'clock. : “Only four persons in the cast of . Fibber McGee and Molly programs? Why, that seems impossible!” . This is a common exclamation of listeners who visit the team’s broadcasts, but there are only four in the cast, exclusive of -the . announcer and Ted Weems and his orchestra boys. Most of the characters are played by Fibber and Molly (Jim and Marian Jordan before and after broadcasts) and they are assisted by Hugh Studebaker and Bill Thompson. :
