- Listeners may as well sit back and be amused by CBS’ anid NBC's current battle for exclusive broadcast supremacy. Instead of decreasing the scope of sports coverage—most of the attempts to secure exclusive broadcast rights are in the sports field—the argument greatly increases the number of events you may attend via loudspeaker and easy chair. For years the networks -microphoned sports programs without payment of a fee, except when a sponsor could bs found to foot the bill. Then, a few weeks ago, NBCsigned for exclusive rights to the Braddock-Louis fight in Chicago on June 22 for, it is reported, more than the sponsor would pay, charg= ing the difference to prestige. That let down the bars, and CBS quickly retaliated by signing up a

| summer series of golf and tennis

matches, limiting NBC and Mutual to routine announcements of results. NBC answered that blast by booking about every other sports event through summer and fall, ranging from corn husking to a Ca-~ nadian dog sled derby, and including all the Amateur Athletic Union and all Intercollegiate A. A. A. track events until the 1940 Olympics. ” z 3

CBS now announces exclusive broadcast rights to the famous Lewisolin Stadium ~ Concerts in New York City by the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Society. The eight-weeks’ series opens late this month, and though a broadcasting schedule has not been announced several famous conductors will be on the podium for a number of CBS programs. ” 8 2 This sudden demand by CBS and NBC exclusive programs not only increases the scope of radio coverage, but has another important listener advantage. One is not annoyed by track meets or . tennis matches all over the dial if he wants music or variety, and sports fans, through either of the two chains, have ample coverage.

u = n NBC opens its Braddock-Louis

broadcast series, Clem McCarthy announcing, with a broadcast at 3:15

‘|p. m. tomorrow over the Blue net-

work from Louis’ Kenosha, Wis, training camp. Then at ? p. m. Friday, Mr. McCarthy will visit Braddock’s Grand Beach, Mich. camp. Both broadcasts will include interviews with fighters, managers and trainers. go . xr Mr. McCarthy will describe the Braddock-Louis fight for NBC on June 22, and Edwin C. Hill, prominent | journalist-commentator, has been signed for the between-round color broadcast.

PLEASE give me a harder one than that, girls. So I shall have to think to answer it. If a man be a mere playboy, all he cares for is a playgirl, but if he has any worthwhile work or ambitions his greatest desire is to be understood—to have a woman who shares his work and ambitions, his trials, successes and failures. And there is no reason why such a woman might not be his playtime companion, too.

PEOPLE who really progress in ‘their thinking are very rare. Even when they are constantly adding to. their store of knowledge, ninety-nine times out of a hundred they are merely searching for more knowledge to bolster up the opin-

ions, attitudes and ffdeas they already have,

They ate merely dig-

ging deeper and deeper into the same old rut. It is said people dig their graves with their teeth but they also dig their mental graves with their own intelligence because while they are adding to their knowledge they are not also re-ex-amining their emotions and attitudes. Take the present Supreme Court issue. Most of us will be more confirmed than ever in our first impressions the more we study it, because we will study only one side.

NEXT—Do more women than men feel they are unhappily married?

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

Net.) |

The Kreiner String Quartet, familiar CBS feature for the past two seasons, is to move over to NBC for a broadcast at 12:30 p. m. Tuesday

on the Blue network.

For their program they have selected the old nuptial combination of something old, something new—in-fact, there’s even a trace of “blue,”

for they are going to play Isadore

Freed’s Quartet No. 3, which definitely is in the modern idiom. Listeners who attended the Federation of Music Clubs’ convention cqoncerts here in April will remember the Kreiners and the Freed Quartet, with which they opened their program. The work is in manuscript and is dedicated to the performing ensemble. : = un ” , Looking back: in the files—because the work did not make a very deep impression on my memory—it develops that this listener was impressed by calculated dissonance rather than emotional expression, abrupt and. direct utterance, clear construction and decisive rhythm. Perhaps the work will be more impressive on secdnd hearing.

For the old part of the program, there is a Quartet in E Flat by Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf. Born in’ Vienna in 1739, Dittersdorf can apply with Boccherini and Haydn for the disputed paternity of the string quartet. Dittersdorf got about a good bit in the practice of his profession. He

had court positions in Vienna, Italy,

Hungary and Silesia. Of his sizeable output, which includes 25 .operas, a dozen symphonies ‘and: nunierous other compositions, but little has remained out of limbo. Whatever of his that iis played today, though not great music, is graceful, charm-

ing and nearly as quaint.as its composer’s name, ‘

daily programs in Chicago for a week beginning June 21, broadcasting from their old studio in NBC's Chicago headquarters. The boys— Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll—will return to the Middle West from California to attend the Braddock-Louis fight. They may— I'm just guessing now—talk over their future with possible sponsors. They are to leave their current sponsor after this year, you know.

2 o» |= Stoopnagle, biggest half of the Stoopnagle-Budd comedy team, is staging a belated. “sit-down” this summer, but he’s not strik»:g. He’s sitting out on Long Island, near New York City, watching carpenters at work. on his new house.. His house building took his mind so completely off speedboat racing that this spring he sold his boat to Frank Parker. The Colonel and Budd, who are off the air for the summer, will interrupt vacations long enough tomorrow night to make a guest appearance with. Ben Bernie; then they will go back into self-imposed cxile again.

i 2 ” 2 * ISTENING, Eddie Cantor believes, is radio's best training school. Eddie should know, too, for he has developed more than his share of unknowns into bright stars. Now that the.comedian is vacationing for the summer, he has more time to.read about what's going on in his own profession, and the thing that surprises him, he writes, is the increase in the past year in number of big network shows. “I don’t know where the mass of new entertainment names is coming from,” he writes. “Vaudeville is dead, and the great stars of vaudeville in its last days already are the topnotchers of radio. “The Little Theaters don’t bring many applicants to radio’s casting window; the legitimate theater and movies provide ‘guest stars, but not many of those performers have the time or inclination to take over their own programs.” Eddie explains that his private

‘| theory is that radio listening in the

living room at home is the world's best radio school. “Deanna Durbin never had sung into a microphone in her life before the day she sang on my program,” Eddie says, “and she handled the situation like an old-timer. She had listened her way to knowledge. “I think intelligent listening has contributed to the success of radio’s important new stars. You can’t tell me that all those hours of listening to the radio during the long months he was ill didn’t - have a lot to do with W. C. Fields’ enormous success when he came to the air 2 few weeks ago.”
