Movie on WFBM.

By RALPH NORMAN Those who failed to get up early for the coronation broadcast missed an international enterprise that wasremarkable for two reasons. First, atmospheric conditions must have been nearly perfect for short wave transmission, for voices and music came through with remarkable clarity. Secondly, it's rather exciting to hear a ceremony centuries old coming through the loud speaker. The coronation program from 3 to 9 o'clock this morning was radio's most pretentious single broadcast, and it certainly was worth the vast

trouble and large expense it entailed. 2 The coronation vas carried to all parts of the wo¥ld by short wave

and was rebroadcast in many coun- | tries. ’

The networks as a rule shy away from real and imaginary horror on the theory that radio's purpose is to entertain and not startle or frighten. Only in extraordinary catastrophes, like the burning of the Hindenburg or the Ohio River flood disaster, do they give more than brief news releases. Both NBC and CBS have been skeptical of eyewitness interviews, except in extreme cases like the ex1amples meritioned, although Mutual has gone in a few times where thr - others feared to tread and presente stories of .airplane wrecks, strike .| and other incidents. :

As the networks are careful not to offend with overzealous disaster descriptions, they are doubly careful not to offend with fictitious scripts involving murder. and horror stories. NBC makes one notable exception with. its Wednesday night “Lights Out” drama, which has terrified a large and devoted audience weekly for three years.

“Lights Out” is an NBC sustaining program written by Arch Oboler, whose skits are featured on Rudy Vallee’'s guest star dramatizations, by Irene Rich and other radio actors and actresses. By writing these scripts for commercial programs Mr. Oboler earns his living, and “Lights Out” is more of a hobby than commercial undertaking.

Radio officials say that Mrs. Roosevelt is one of the networks’ calmest broadcasters. She writes her own script, dictating it to her secretary and later revising it with a pencil She usually arrives at the studio about 45 minutes before time for her. NBC-Blue network broadcast at 5:15 p m. each Wednesday, and there is a reading of the script for timing Even after this, Mrs. Roosevelt sometimes thinks of additions, which she writes in pencil. ; Mrs. Malvina Thompson, her secretary whom she calls “Tommy,” always is in the studio, and once she took part in the broadcast. Mrs. Roosevelt usually wears an evening gown, then hurries from the studio to the White House for dinner.

Jessica Dragonette Coronation 2 “Lights Out,” replete with murder, slow death by torture, screams, groans and all the embellishments of horror motion pictures, was naugurated three years ago by Willis Cooper, a Chicago radio script ‘writer. - Skeptical radio executives doubted the wisdom of permitting it to be broadcast, and they further doubted that anvone would listen. But fan mail from the first indicated a sizeable audience, if not a large audience, following the stories each week.

THE constellation, Orion, is rich in story lore. It was mentioned many times by.the Greek poets, Homer and Hesiod, as well as in the Book of Job. Orion was a mighty hunter, and as he is pictured in the sky, the giant, red star Betelgeuse forms his right shoulder, and the bright Rigel forms his left foot. ® * *

IT'S MERELY A CURRENT NEWSPAPER WITH CERTAIN WORDS UNDERSCORED, HERE AND THERE.

IN THE ablest and profoundest - book on love yet written Florence Seabury says, slightly abridged —Love is one of the mighty evidences that man is not essentially a selfish being. A man who could satisfy his sex impulses without risk or responsibility will yet accept the yoke of a wife and four children, the burden of their support and the pressure of unending toil, merely because a strange yearning has hypnotized his spirit and bound him to its will. A woman who has achieved a career of her own joyfully renounces personal freedom and a promising future to serve her beloved.

LET'S EXPLORE YOUR MIND

By DR. ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM

WHEN YOU ARE-

16 IT BEST TO WORRIED THINK YOUR WAY THROUGH YOUR PROBLEM AND 60LVE IT? YES ORNO

3 Sut EAT H FOODS, AND OTHER HABITS THAT CAUSE

RACE? YES ORNO 3 OF COURSE if you are worried about some loved one being ill or a money matter that can be relieved by simply finding the facts, yes. But with general chronic worries and fears, emphatically no. All clinical psychologists agree that there are three rules for getting rid of general worries, activity, activity, activity—doing something else. That is why they set maladjusted and

insane persons working with their hands. * Fishing is one of the best remedies known. Working at mechanics Is_another. But the prime point is you must do something—you must “get your mind off your thought.”

NO. SOFT hot foods may cause the teeth to decay but they do not cause the germ-cells to decay. The germ-cells that are set aside practically at birth—and not the body cells, carry all the heredity and hand it on to the next generation.

In this sense 40 years of experimental biology indicate that anything you acquire during life is not transmitted to your children because what you acquire affects only your body cells and tissues and not your germ cells which are “sole bearers of heredity.”

NEXT—Do women have more intuition than men?

‘Hit Parade’ Director Got Early Start Under Ruse

There is a legend in the radio studios that if Mark Warnow were to snap his persuasive fingers at an idle fiddle, it would come right back at him with a chorus from “Stardust” : He is the stocky young man who directs “Your Hit Parade” at 8 o'clock over NBC-Blue on Wednesday nights and over CBS on Saturday nights. He has been ccaxing exceptional music from®many diversified

groups of woodwinds, percussions® and brass since he made his music debut as director of the old Massel Opera Co. He then was the show business’ youngest conductor. That was an embarrassing occasion for the young maestro. He forgot to bring the score, and had to go through the motions of waving his baton for an enfire act, actually following his orchestra instead of leading it. He put the ruse across, though, and no one suspected. A competent musician as well as conductor, Warnow made his debut as .oncert violinist at Town Hall, New York City, in 1924. He already had been music director of two Broadway shows, “Apple Blossoms” and a Ziegfeld “Follies.”

Lives in Brooklyn The conductor still lives in Brooklyn, where he settled with his father and mother when he ar-

rived in America at the age of 6. His birth place was Monastrhist, near Odessa in the Ukraine. No parental objections hampered his musical ambitions. Though ~ diamond merchant by trade, his father was a violinist by choice, and gave his son his first lessons, encouraged further study and guided his early career. ; Since coming to CBS in 1928, Warnow has worked with many of the network’s outstanding programs

and has directed many NBC shows. ||

His “Blue Velvet” orchestra works with many sustaining programs as well as with commercials. His hobby has been and is the

violin, with wrestling a close second. It keeps him fit. He goes in

for hypnotism, but won't go out]!

for lunch unless he has time to eat leisurely. If time is lacking, he

When Cooper got a Hollywood job, Arch Oboler; who had been wanting to write another similar show, was given the job, provided he would keep it gruesome. He did. Men are chopped to death, choked to death and murdered in every conceivable way, and apparently no ondls sleep is disturbed. The broadcast is at 10:30 o'clock each Wednesday night, over the Red network.

Tonight's story will be based on a real house at Mamaroneck, ‘N. Y,, reputedly haunted and formerly the home of James Fenimore Cooper. The title will be “Organ,” and a background. of organ music, played by Irma Glen, will be heard through the program. The story concerns a couple wha get a strange bargain in a summer home —- a bargain, that is, until ghosts start playing nonexistent pipe organs. The ghosts —and Miss Glen—will favor Debussy’s “Claire de Lune” and Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyrie.”

Lily Pons, in CBS’ early Wednesday evening music program, to be heard over WFBM at 7 o'clock, will present selections from her movie, “I Dream Too Much,” and her operatic number will be “Una voce poco fa” from the “Barber of Seville.” She also will sing “Il Bacio,” by the Italian composer, Luigi Arditi. On the same network and stations: at .7:30 o'clock, Jessica Dragonette will be heard with Charles Kull= mann, operatic tenor, singing numbers from Victor Herbert's “Eileen.” The story, to be narrated by Jean Paul King, concerns the love of a - dashing Irish rebel for a young English woman. Miss Dragonette's

1 songs will include such favorites as

“Ireland, My Ireland,” “Eileen Alanna Asthore,” “Thine Alone” and “Love at Last.” : { “Eileen” is said to have been Herbert’s favorite of all his operettas, because of his Irish lineage. - ” s ” z TD ADIO footnotes — The Jack Bennys sail for Europe and a: summer's vacation on July 4—it will be an Independence Day from script worries for the comedian who has to work harder to keep at the top than he did to get there. . ,. NBC has announced plans to broadcast portions of the Indianapolis Speedway race on Memorial Day, Sunday, May 30—the Speedway publicity department might inform the networks the race will be on May 31 this year. . . .
