'March of ime to Be Transcribed for Europeans.

By RALPH NORMAN

Have you ever wondered who is responsible for the casual remarks Bing Crosby, Bob Burns and guest stars exchange on | the Thursday evening “Music Hall” program? It’s generally agreed that Cros-by-Burns have reached a new high . in radio informality, and while the way the read their lines—sametimes an entire program sounds ad libbed —has much to do with the program’s charm, someone is responsible for the good-natured jesting. That man is. Carroll Carroll, who, some believe, is radios top comedy writer. : : i Bob - Burns writes his own tall stories, and both Burns and Croshy are said to contribute program ideas and occasional script for the “Music Hall” show, but it is Carroll who is responsible for 'most of the banter, Radio writers work anonymously and seldom receive much recognition. Usually more than one is responsible for each good program, and it is hard to tell, for instance, just which writer contributed a good Benny joke or situation. Good scripts usually come out of conferences and rarely are any one writer's idea.

humor magazines, while he was still a youngster, got him jobs helping other funsters, and he | soon became a mainstay of sev=- | eral network shows. He has con- | tributed in some way to nearly

every network comedy program. | It’s jeasy to forget that topflight | comedians and comediennes are de- | pendent — sometimes . entirely — on ; others for their bright sayings.

Norm Perry Jr. literally was “in the dark” during a recent WIRE hasenad broadcast—a faulty fuse ‘went out, leaving the announcer with no lights and telegraph .reports to read of one of the Indians’ away-from-home games. By using matches and ad libbing, he got through an entire inning before the light came on in WIRE's main studio and he told his audience about his embarrassing predicament. ” » n Andre Kostelanetz tops the year’s broadcasters, as far as Stage, magp- | zine of screen, stage and radio, is Ieoncerned. glowing tribute 10 | the CBS madestro, lished in the i meement that soitsraward for the coudribution to radio »-past season, follows: “He leads the band, He plays jazz and he plays ‘serious’ music. He plays serious music with just as much heart and soul as he puts into jazz. He juxtaposes jazz with gems from the family album of familiar and unfamiliar classics and he can convince anybody that any music is real music if it's played by Kostelanetz. “He can hang a harmonic weltzschmerz on ‘Casey Jones’ and swing on ‘Tristan’ and wave a baton at the same time. He leads the best all-round band on the air, He does for radio music what Gershwin did for the rhapsody and what Krazy Kat did for the comic strip. To Kostelanetz—the biggest palm in our garden, to fan a brow well decked already with laurel.” Mr. Kostelanetz, I think we may surmise with reason, yates high in the estimation of Stage, a tribute lany broadcaster would covet. Honcrable mention went to Bing Crosby, Mark Warnow, Frank Black, Benny Goodman and the “March of Time”

” " ” \ The perennial “March of Time” is not exclusive to American listeners. Transcriptions of the long-lived Thursday CBS news dramatization are being made each week in French for broadcast by French and other European stations. The transcriptions are offered French stations "to test the program’s popularity, and it may be that the “March of Time” will go on the air weekly in original French version, just as it is broadcast from New York weekly in English. Radio actors proficient in French make the transcriptions. -

This, as you know, is the first time? that all the Mozart quartets have’ been done in a single series, Perhaps we can look forward to a Beethoven series next season, since both Mozart and Brahms have been done this past year. td » ” Whenever someone sets out to read a composer's social and economic environment into his music some esthetic hair-pulling is likely to result. So, as regards E. Robert Schmitz’ statements on Russian music .and composers, I had best set down some of the pianist’s reflections, and leave you to hiss or applaud as you see fit. Mr. Schmitz has been devoting his Saturday afternons to a complete survey of Russian piano music from Glinka to the presept, via CBS. He feels that many of the Russians forecast rather than reflected political developments. Of Igor Stravinsky he says: “Stravinsky’s music in 1908 and 1910 was impatient, restless and tense. In ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’ he must have been impressed by the people's state of mind because in it he virtually told what was to happen a decade later. ‘Le Sacre’ is the Russian revolution in music. It is significant that Stravinsky never

has written in the same vein since 1913.” Glinka and - Balakirev, Mr. Schmitz believes, satisfied the Russian people’s craving for nationalistic expression. Before them music had been written for Russia's aristocracy, comprising only 1 per cent of the entire population. ” 8 ”

EMOCRACY had its beginnings with Mussorgsky, Mr. Schmitz says, who was the “first to give mu--sic parts on the stage to the people, thus suggesting the revolution by giving glory to the people.” The pianist-commentator finds an

exception in the contemporary Prokofiev, whose reaction against gloom has made his music light-hearted,

therefore not foreshadowing any |

political events.’ “iin “Tschaikowsky and Medtner were too greatly influenced by Germany to project the true Russian spirit. fi he says, “and Rachmaninoff and | Scriabin were Russian composers but not Russian nationalists. . Soviet Russia of today is best exemplified by Shostakovich and Mossoulov, the
