- WHEN GRACE MOORE SINGS—

The popular opera and movie soprano, Grace Moore, conquers a new

field—radio.

The candid cameraman visited her CBS-WFBM Sat-

urday night show to get the above pictures, showing her in various moods at the microphone. She is accompanied for her 7 o'clock broadcasts by Vincent Lopez’ orchestra and a mixed chorus.

RADIO THIS EVENING

Phil Spitalny Switches From Afternoon to Evening Spot.

By RALPH NORMAN

Movie performers turn to radio far more frequently than network stars turn to. the cinema, so it’s ‘news, I believe, that Fibber McGee and Molly, NBC's popular Monday evening entertainers, have signed a Paramount contract. The McGees—Jim and Marian Jordan in. private life—leave their Chicago studio after next Monday’s broadcast for Hollywood, where their program will originate for six weeks beginning May 3. Ted Weems’ orchestra, because of Chicago contracts, will not make the trip, and Jimmy Grier's orchestra will sub- | stitute for the six-weeks’ period The Jordans, whose portrayal of the cocksure McGee and his sus- | pecting spouse has boosted them to | ranks of radio's top-flight stars, will | take to the screen many years stage | and radio experience. They have | been paired in real life and in the- | atricals ‘since they were married lin their home-town of Peoria, Ill. lin 1918. They met, incidentally, at |a church choir rehearsal.

" Ed o

Soon after their marriage Jim went to France as a member of an entertainment troupe which made the rounds of U. S. Army camps, and Marian stayed home to teach music and direct local theatricals. After the Armistice, they organized their first concert company, playing throughout the Middle West. They performed in churches, old opera houses (remember them?) and at least once in a barn.

After a fling in vaudeville, they auditioned for radio on a dare from friends. They were signed . for one of the first sponsored pro-' grams in the Middle West at a

$10 a week. Because living expenses for themselves and two children was more than that, they returned to vaudeville, but a year later they were back at the microphone, where - they have been

regularly ever since. That was in 1924, and they believe they are the Middle West's oldest radio couple.

IT WAS the author of this excellent bill, Miss Jane Todd, member. of. Westchester County, New York, who coined the term “cocktail marriages” to describe those marriages that are made on the way home from a gay party, a

day’s picnic or some other high

pressure occasion. They nearly always turn out tragically. Miss Todd’s law would require three days to elapse after a license is applied : for before it could be granted. California has such a law and over 2000 couples who applied for licenses within the past year did

A STUDY was made by E. Raskin in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology of 120 scientists and 123 writers and this author found that the writers had more cases of egotism and periods of despondency, moodiness, etc., than the scientists. ’ : Neither writers nor scientists, however, proved to be as temperamental and erratic on the average as they are commonly supposed to be. They

live longer on the average than

ordinary men which is the best possible evidence of sound physical and nervous health.

While they differed widely in their gradings, the jokes that caused the loudest, longest laughs were also graded highest in humorousness and were best remembered. Those who laughed least also rated the jokes lowest—and remembered them least, indicating they lacked the sense of humor of the good laughers. NEXT—Are women more selfconscious than men?

COMMON ERRORS

Never say, “I haven't had no rest today”; say, “haven't had any rest,” or “have had no rest.”

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

Hugh McGibeny and his young

instrumentalists from the Arthur

Jordan Conservatory will be heard on the NBC Blue network at 3:45

p. m. tomorrow when 15 minutes of the school orchestra's program Is |

broadcast from the Indiana Theater ; Cd It’s scarcely necessary to add that the. local group will be playing |

for the National Federation of Music Clubs convention. Its listed.pro-

gram includes the

Allegro from Grieg’'s “Holberg Suite” and the “Grand”

Fugue in G Minor by Bach, both for string orchestra, and the Overture

to Humperdincks “Haensel ands Gretel” and Svendsen's “Swedish Coronation March,” by the full orchestra. . At 2:30 p. m. tomorrow CBS will pick up a quarter-hour of music by the Stout Institute Symphonic Singers from Menomonie, Wis. This also is part of tomorrow afternoon’s convention program. Harold R. Cooke is the director, and the Stout String Ensemble will provide accompaniments. A feature of the choir’s group will. be three arrangements by Mr. Cooke. Two of them, called ‘Dianne” and ‘Dawn,” are excerpts from Thomas’ opera “Mignon” and Nicolai’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” with original words by J. E. Grinnell. Mr. Cooke also has made the choral group arrangement nf Grieg’s “The Last Spring,” which is included in the group. s ” »

Tribute will be paid Leopold Mozart in the “American School of the Air” program on CBS at 12:15 p. m. tomorrow. A dramatization of life in the Mozart family will not

2 ~~

only recognize the great Wolfgang Amadeus’ father for his wisdom and guidance in charting his son's musical course, but will remember him as a noted violinist, composer and teacher. Musical selections will include the elder Mozart's “Sleigh Ride” and portions of a Symphony in G Minor. From his famous son’s works, there will be examples of his youthful genius as a composer. They are the Overture to his opera, “Bastien and Bastienne,” written when he was 12; and a Rondo for harmonika and orchestra.

It might interest you to know |

that Thomas Thomas, gifted young winner of the Metropolitan radio auditions and week-end visitor in Indianapolis, has a middle name besides the Simone Simon-sounding cognomen by which you know him. It 1s Llyfnwy—probable a natural consequence of his having been born in Wales. To most of us he will alyays remain just Thomas Tho: =

The first programs were for chil=dren, and it was not until 1931, when they were on NBC, that they originated their Smackout series which won them such wide popularity. They debuted as Fibber McGee and Molly in Aptil, 1935, and . many listeners hope, they will be Fibber McGee and Molly for a long

time to come. ” ® ”

“Radio Theater” should be even: more auspicious tonight than usual for many listeners, for it presents in leading roles of a tremendously popular opus two topflight film stars. The play—'Magnificent Obsession,” the Lloyd C. Douglas novel which starred Robert Taylor and Irene Dunne in a film version not long ago. And Mr. Taylor and Miss Dunne are cast in leading roles -- again, to be heard on ‘Radio The=" ater” at 7 o'clock tonight via CBS WFBM. Before he appeared in “Magnificent Obsession,” Taylor was listed by the movie industry as one who “sings, plays the cello and does radio work.” He's had little time for cello playing of late, and most of his radio work is for “Radio Theater.” His appearance tonight wil be his second. : Mr. Douglas will be in the studio tonight, t6 talk between acts. The Brughs have figured prominently in radio news this week. Mrs. Ruth Brugh, Robert Taylor's mother, did a guest turn for Rudy Vallee last week to tell about her son's rise to movie fame.

” ” o

Conspicuous in network program changes simultaneous with shift to daylight saving time is Phil Spitalny’s switch from Monday afternoon to a Monday eveing spot—7:30 p.. m. over WIRE. The Spitalny all-girl orchestra has been a popular vaudeville unit for some time, and it’s somewhat surprising it hasn't been booked before in an evening spot. "

Other network revisions concurrent with time changes include CBS’ “Children’s Corner,” which moves from Monday-Wednesday-Friday to Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday at 3:45 p. m., to be carried beginning Tuesday by WFBM. CBS-WFBM'’s “Pretty Kitty Kel= ly” serial moves from 5:45 p. m. daily to 11:15 a. m., with a rebroadcast at 2:15 p. m. WFBM drops the show because of conflicting schedule.
