I AM forced to agree with her, partly because goodness is not a romantic quality and partly because ordinarily we take it for granted. It does not make news or get us ex-

do not admire it but because there is so much of it. Most people are mostly good. So to tell a woman she is “dashing” or “daring” or “knows how to throw a party,” anything that is- distinctive —flatters her more than to tell her, she is “good.” This makes her feel

2 SYDNEY says that people who have grown up with bullfighting as a national custom enjoy it because it is a grand spectacle--they
enjoy the adventure, the drama and romance of it all. The bull probably does not join in this view of it—at least in the motion pictures he seems to be quite annoyed. Still he may be having a grand romp and enjoying the applause. No doubt, however, Franklin is mostly right— the grand romantic spectacle and the danger into which the toreador puts himself are the - chief sources of the fascination. ” ”

principle of life, it contains a lot. of hooey. As Prof. William James urged, when we are going into a new undertaking we should carefully
‘| estimate all the dangers, drawbacks
and. probabilities “of failure. With these qualifications this author has a strong case. Fear of failure causes more failure than anything else.
COMMON ERRORS
Never say, “Does the train leave right off?” substitute “away” for “off.”

Good Radio Music
‘By JAMES THRASHER
Because symphony orchestra musicians enjoy summers at the seashore or busmen’s holidays by making concert tours, our symphonic radio series are dropping by the wayside, one by one.
Tomorrow night you will hear until Sept. 12. But the Detroiters’
the last of the Detroit Symphony sponsors will move their Saturday
evening “Universal Rhythm” program into the vacated Sunday spot
beginning next week. So, through ®
the summer, you may hear Richard Bonelli, the Metropolitan’s excellent baritone; Alec Templeton, the blind English pianist, young, versatile and brilliant; Carolyn Urbanek, soprano, and Rex Chandler's orchestra. Really not a bad prospect for summer months. : Meanwhile for the valedictory hour of symphonic music, we are to hear Josephine Antoine as soloist, and the orchestra under Eugene Ormandy’s baton, at 7 p. m. tomorrow on WFBM. Miss Antoine is the accomplished young coloratura whom you may have heard on various programs. In fact, she has the distinction of being the only prima donna ever to make her debut by radio. Her first appearance at the Metropolitan was as Philine in “Mignon,” on a Saturday afternoon when NBC was picking up the matinee performance. . Miss Antoine, who has just finished her sophomore year at Manhattan’s temple of song, will offer the “Hymn to the Sun” from Rim-sky-Korsakov’s “Le Coq d'Or” as the piece de resistance of her contribution, Shegalso is scheduled to
opera, ‘‘Jocelyn,” and songs by Samuels, Brahe and Alabiev. , Mr. Ormandy has chosen to play Elgar's “Pomp and Circumstance,” the “Dream Pantomime” “rom Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel,” BerliozZ Rakoczy March. and the “1812 Overture” of Tschaikowsky. ” ” ” The musical world may continue to remember Jules Massenet as a pedagogue when his operas are forgotten. During his decade as teacher of advanced composition in the Paris Conservatoire, there came under his guidance such composers as Debussy, Dukas and Ravel. These three are named for it is their works that will make up tomorrow’s “Everybody’s Music” program, to be broadcast by Howard Barlow and the CBS Symphony at 1 p. m. to-
| morrow on CBS-WFBM. What a place the Paris Conserva-.
toire must have been back in the eighties and nineties A brilliant generation of students who were to establish. the school of modern French music, taught by the capable Massenet and the quiet, modest Cesar Franck, who wrote a symphony much aligned by his academic contemporaries, yet whose gift left an indelible impression upon the him,

By RALPH NORMAN Though her famous “Victoria Re= gina” recently completed it§ second successful Broadway season, Hélen Hayes, for unknown reasons, never has presented a radio condensation of the play. : : ~ Less celebrated players have brought less celebrated dramas to the microphone, but Miss Hayes, possibly because she had her own radio serial | show, has yet to bring # “Victoria - Regina”. to -a radio audience. : Her serial show off the air for the summer, Miss Hayes is to. present’ tomorrow a ‘“Victoria” scene on NBC's “Magic Key” at 12 o'clock noon. The skit will be ~ the “proposal scene,” only a scante est portion of the play. The aiways large “Magic Key” cast tomorrow is to include, besides Miss Hayes, Sandor Sved, Rumanian baritone, who will sing from Vienna; . Margaret Brill, young American harpist; the Southernaires, singing Negro spirituals; Dr. Frank Black, directing the NBC Symphony Orchestra, and Milton Cross and Ben Grauer, joint masters of ceremony. “Magic Key” weekly makes a dual bid sfor listener interest by presenting both talent of considerable caliber and “sensational” microphoning, achieved by skipping around over iwo or three continents. < Many “Magic Key” listeners, now that international broadcasts are as commonplace as local reception, probably would prefer less airwave acrobatics and more concentration on studio performers, whose acts frequently are cut short to allow time for a hop to South America, Europe, Hawaii or some other faraway place. Miss Hayes, for instance, doubtless could be presented to better advantage if she were given most of the hour, instead of only a small portion of it.

Portly Al Pearce and all his gang of entertainers whom you hear over CBS-WFBM at 7 o’clock on uesday evenings, plus a bevy of dancers and other |troupers, slipped quietly into town last evening to put on a private show for his sponsor’s Indiana - dealers. Pearce is on trans continental tour, and his next broadcast will originate in Chicago.

Mercedes McCambridge, NBC dramatic actress heard in “The Guiding Light,” “Dan Harding’s Wife” and other serials, wants to know if you ever hear oldsters brag about how they walked three, four or even five miles daily to school and scoff at the youngsters for being a bunch of sissies in a much easier world. Mercedes thinks this kind of talk is just so much piffle. ht Compared to Mercedes, the old sters were just pikers—maybe.
In the past nine months while she was taking full senior work at Mundelein College and at the same time playing several radio roles, Miss McCambridge traveled 11,000 miles, or about 60 miles daily. She lives in South Chicago, NBC’s Chicago studios are downtown in the Merchandise Mart, and Mundelein College, where she graduated this week, is on the far North Side.
forget you didn’t do it on foot. » # =
Mr. Joe Cook’s big Saturday night variety show has its sponsors puzzled, a- New York observer writes, because of its success. Most shows of its kind, which spend money lavishly on guest performers, leave the air during the summer, and particularly they shy from Saturday to be away| from radios. 2 So far, no full-hour weekday evening period is available on NBC, so future plans are indefinite. If the show stays, it prob-: ably will move to a more suitable:
open period. 3 Meanwhile, for his NBC-WLW show at 7:30 o'clock tonight, Cook has lined up a bevy of popular pros gram headliners of past . shows, bringing them back for return appearances. There will be Dr. Ray=mond L. Ditmars, snake authority; Billy Lynn, Broadway comedian; Mario Chamlee, Metropolitan Opera tenor; George Frame Brown, author; Rufe Davis, comedian, and, as usual,
band. Hp 2 8.» 3 ADIO Footnotes—Stuart Allen, Dick Himber’s vocalist, replaces Buddy Clark on “Your Hit Parade” tonight. . . . Wayne King’s contract
. . . Walter Winchell likewise boasts a new sponsor agreement, for $5000 weekly, to run through 1938 and well into 1939. . . . The Helen Brod-erick-Victor Moore show fades after June 27. . . . James Barton's guest appearance with. Kate Smith, scheduled for last Thursday night, was moved forward to June 24... .. Reports have it an automobile sponsor has signed for the World Series, at $175,000, regardless of “where
as many as 16 characters in one broadcast, recently did 12, taking all the roles themselves. . .". Tyrone Power will head a West Coast program next fall. . . . Harry Von Zell takes over the Fhil Baker show on July 4. . .., Harry Salter’s orchestra will back up Walter O'Keefe when the latter takes over the Fred Allen program next month, and Peter Van Steeden, Mr. Allen’s maestro, moves to “Your Hit Parade.” ..' Two NBC-Red dramatic-serials will be carried by WIRE for the firs time beginning Monday, the first, “Back Stage Wife,” at 9:15 a. m, to be heard daily, Monday through Friday, and “How to Be Charming,”
