Kostelanetz-Pons Series : To End With Tonight's Broadcast.

By EALPH NORMAN

Listeners frequently ask if topflight radio artists work for the networks or for sponsors. Until recently the question could not be answered definitely, for the situation varied

i With different programs. y

Because of Social Security Act requirements, NBC is attempting to ': clear up the uncertain status of many of its performers, and listeners may find interesting certain of the NBC legal department’s classi- -° fications. nx NBC has notified all sponsors and . advertising agencies with which the network does business that performers engaged through NBC for sponsored programs will be considered -: employees of the sponsor or of the ,., agency. Only NBC staff conductors - and instrumental musicians heard - on sustaining programs are to be regarded as network employees, according to NBC's management. Status of radio artists heretofore has been rather vague, some contracting with the network, oth‘ers with the agencies or sponsors. Though we all doubtless continue to refer to these people as NBC ‘artists, the classification usually will be incorrect. The networks, including NBC, all exercise certain censorship over all programs, demanding that certain requirements and certain standards be met. Otherwise, NBC—and probably CBS and Mutual—claim little responsibility for their big and expensive coramercial airings. : # #8 8 Last of CBS-WFBM's current Kostelanetz-Lily Pons series will be aired tonight, Frank Parker replacing the songstress next week. The program tonight, naturally, will be a celebration, as are all programs: when casts change. Miss Pons will conclude her series with the same song she used to begin it—“Blue -. Danube Waltz’—and Mr. Kostelanetz will feature numbers from his. new picture, “Artists and Models.” Miss Pons also will get a medal tonight for being opera's bestdressed. woman in the opinion of the Fashion Academy. Rs Mr. Parker, who has been regu- . larly on NBC on Sunday evenings and frequently on Tuesday evenings as Ben Bernie's guest performer, leaves NBC for CBS to sing with Kostelanetz’ orchestra. 5 The sponsor which airs the Kos- * telanetz show also will change its Friday night offering, which now

Sounds like a mighty good test. .

YOUR OPINION cm

’

in a recent address that there is a deep, silent, but grim struggle among big corporations to capture and hold young men of superior abilities and’ that in the end those who control the world’s brains will control civilization. This far-sighted suggestion has especial significance in view of the fact that the Purdue Research Foundation, under the direction of Dr. G. Stanley Meikle, is doing a lot to enable the universities to exert a strong influence over the distribution ‘of brainy young men in industry. ” ” 2

PROF. HOOTON makes out a strong case.

He points out

children feeble in both intelligence and judgment and prolongs the life of old people until they have mostly lost both. Furthermore, the more intelligent are having few children or none and the less intelligent are furnishing the main supply. He thinks this will result in a decline in our culture and political life, as well as a decline in our average natural intelligence and character.

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

All the immediate musical excitement is in England, where Eugene Goossens’ new opera, “Don Juan of Manara,” will have its first performance in London’s Covent Garden tomorrow. A portion of the work is to

‘be broadcast via shortwave on NBC's

Blue network at 1 p. m.

Singing the title part in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conductor’s new opera will be Lawrence Tibbett, who is making a successful first European tour this summer after a distinguished American career.

Mr. Goossens himself will conducte—

the new “Don Juan’ tomorrow. This seems perfectly natural, for he is the third generation of operatic conductors that has presided over Covent Garden performances. Perhaps we shall hear the opera in Cincinnati next season. Meanwhile all I can tell you is that it is written to a libretto by the late Arnold Benriett. : » » ” The Goossens opera isn’t the only “world premiere” scheduled by NBC for broadcast tomorrow. For at noon, on the Red network, you may hear two movements from Ulric Cole’s new Suite for String Quartet. The composer (it’s Miss Cole, despite the masculine first name) also will appear as pianist in a performance of her Piano Quintet. Assisting on the program will be Mara

Thomas, the wellequipped ,young baritone who won the - Metropolitan Auditions of the Air competition this season, will be the guest artist with Jessica Dragonette and Charles Kullmann on WFBM at 7:30 o'clock tonight. The threesome will be heard in a condensed version of Emmerich Kalman’s “Sari,” one of the most popular prewar operettas. Mr. Thomas is due to trek westward before long to take a permanent place on the “Show Boat” program from Hollywood. With his good looks and his good voice, it will be hard to keep him out of the movies.

Miss Frost will be chief stooge for O’Keefe, and Von Zell, of course, will do the announcing. ” s » Keeping up with the Jack Benny vacation plans—after deciding on .
