NO, he (or she) is nearly al"ways wrong and the theory costs every firm, particularly retail stores, immense sums annually. As Edith Stern points out in a recent investigation, John Wanamaker started the trouble when he announced that the customer was always right, and his competitors had to follow suit. But customers, especially women, take perfectly fiendish and conscienceless advantage of it. One dress out of four is returned — frequently after having been worn to a party. After the big football games fur coats were returned by the thousands—often with, the pockets full of peanut brittle and cosmetics. Honest customers have to pay for all this stealing.

other fellow. A group of psychologists listened to 601 conversations during the intermissions of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Minneapolis University Artist Course Concerts and found that whereas men talking with men devoted 19 per cent to money and business, and women only 2 per cent, yet when they talked together 8 per cent of the talk was about money and business. Either the men were able to interest the women in money and business or else they looked interested. Men rarely mentioned clothes to each other although women talked 9 per cent of the time (right in the middle of the concerts!) about clothes. ‘But when the men and women were talking together 5 per cent of the talk w about clothes. ss

If anybody ever came home from a social function relaxed I have never set eyes on him.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER :

Dohnanyi’s “Variations on a Nursery Air” have taken quite an up-

pianist, played thent with the New

York Philharmonic-Symphony last winter. They have been heard several times on the air since then, and are scheduled for another performance tonight on the Boston Symphony “pop” concert, via NBC-Blue at 6:30

The soloist will be Jesus Maria Sanroma, who originally hailed from Cuba, I believe, and who has been something of a’ fixture on these con-

certs for several seasons. He is a® capable performer whose playing has plenty of that quality known as “get up and go.” Among other things, Mr. Sanroma can play George Gershwin’s rheumatic “Rhapsody in Blue” for me anytime he wants to. He actually breathes new life into its dated measures, and the result is pretty exciting stuff. : . An equally capable gentleman is Arthur Fiedler, youthful maestro who presides over the Boston players on these occasions. For tonight's program he has supplemented the Dohnanyi variations with Tschaikowsky’s - “Marche Solenelle,” the cverture to Glinka’s ‘Russian and Ludmilla,” and the Strauss waltzes, “Roses From the South.” ” 2 ” The Metropolitan Opera Company has decided to let the public sit in on its auditions again next season. Beginning Oct. 3, there will be 26 Sunday afternoon broadcasts on NBC, with Wilfred Pelletier .onducting, and Edward Johnson, Metropolitan general manager, in the master of ceremonies role. It was two years ago that the Metropolitan opened the secret portals of its audition room to every radio listener who cared to come in. The company obligates itself to select at least two singers each season,

given contracts in each of the two previous seasons. You may recall that the audition winners for 193536 were Anna Kaskas, contralto, and Arthur Carron, tenor. Maxine Stellman, soprano, and Thomas L. Thomas, baritone, were the winners for 1936-317. : After a young singer wins a Metropolitan contract one might think that the way to success would be pretty smooth. Such, however, isn’t the usual case. Unless they are headliners, the singers are not paid any princely sum, nor do they make very frequent appearances.

Wouldn't it be a food thing for

opera in America, as well as for the young singers, if the Metropolitan would adopt a “farm system” similar that used by major baseball teams? We would need several more “miner league” companies, perhaps similar | to the San Carlo troupe which you have heard in Indianapolis. Young artists, having been ac-| cepted at the Metropolitan, might strike out for the provinces, there to learn the standard repertory under actual working conditions, to their own benefit and the public enjoyment. For the public is becoming more “opera conscious,” thanks again to radio.

Gibbons Prog ram)

Remains on CBS

Floyd Gibbons’ “True Adventures,” dramatizing authentic adventure of everyday people, has been renewed on CBS for an in-| definite stay. The program will be heard over WFBM at 8 o'clock each Thursday evening. | As his: major presentation tonight, Gibbons is to dramatize an actual experience of Lieut. W. E Huffman of the United States Army Air Service, who was trapped in a captive balloon that broke away from its mooring and ascended 8000 feet before it developed a rip and plummetted earthward.

Jack Benny Wins Guide Popularity Poll

Publicity Man Discovers Shakespeare Knew

Abcut Radio.

By RALPH NORMAN

Kate Smith. once radio's most jpopular songbird and possibly still | this division leader, leaves the air {for a summer vacation aftéer her ‘CBS-WFBM 6 o'clock broadcast to- | night. I The gala farewell program will include a belatéd guest appearance by James Barton, “Tobacco Road” star, scheduled for a program last month. . For unexplained reasons, Mr. Barton failed to keep the appointment, but he is to be heard tonight in an adaptation of “Burlesque,” the .tale of a couple of small-time. troupers who meéet unexpected theafrical success.

When Kate came to the networks six or seven yeéars ago, her haneyed voice brought chéer {to thousands of listeners. In three of six New York World-Telegram - radio editors’ polls, she ranked first among those who sang popular songs, and in the remaining polls she placed second.

But Kate no longer is just a singer. As mistress of cercmonies of her “Band Wagon,” she runs one of radios more pretentious variety shows—a show which com. pares favorably with vVallee’s, ~ Crosby’s” ang the few othérs of similar caliber. ? Ty

1 wonder, though, if Kate's popu larity hasn't decreased as she devoted more time to introduction of guest stars and léss to her own way of putting across a séntimentdl bal-

In the last radio editors’ poll, her: margin over Frances Langford was much smaller than in the previous year, and now, after hér last net work series, a Radio Guide popularity poll fails to list her among 12 wihners. Miss Langford, though, rated fourth, and Jessica Dragonette, another singer of popular songs, placed 10th.

” ” s

As “Band Wagon” mistress Kate holds a unique position. She's the networks’ only woman impresario. and its only program manager, Ted Collins, of course, shares responsibility with her for all “Band Wagon” offerings. A Ted has managed Kate's radio and theatrical career since 1931, "always without written agreement. Now they are associated in a corporation known as Kated, Inc. (a combination of their names), and Kated, Inc., pays. their salaries, pays program guests, care ries on Kate's charities and manages other business of its stockholders. The “Band Wagon” program is radio's only program managed directly by a corporation. Kate, of course, is the corporation's most valuable asset, with Ted second. It employes 55 persons, including Kate and Ted, and pays no dividends. The profits, according to Mr. Collins, go back into the busiress. ” 2 2 The “Band Wagon’s” future, I believe, remains indefinite. Kate will be back on the air next fall, but shme weeks ago there was a rumor she would change networks. Such plans as there are include a repeat broadcast for West Coast listeners. It's quite likely, too, that both Miss Smith and her sponsors wish to move from the Thursday evening 6 o'clock period, which: competes with fudy Vallee’s “Variety Hour.” No wise broadcaster wants Rudy for a competitor. = .

5 #8 = Winners in the Radio Guide's popularity poll, announced today, are: Jack Benny, Nelson Eddy, Lanny Ross, Miss Langford, Lulu |Belle, Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallee, Eddie Cantor, Joan Blaine, Miss | Dragonette, Fred Allen and Don Ameche. :

Some of the top rankers may surprise you, and Fred Allen, notice, is in 11th place, far from his rival, Mr. Benny. ‘ | 2 = 2 |. Noting the networks’ sudden interest in Shakespeare, Robert Taplinger, whose New York news bureau makes life easier for combelt radio scribes, read the Bard's plays to see what he thought of radio. Surprisingly, Mr. Shakespeare rather accurately predicted some of our topflight tars. Here are ‘he passages from Shakespeare, as selected by Mr. Taplinger, and Mr. Taplinger’s answers are at the bottom of the next column. See how many you can guess, and don't peek: 1. “A kind of excellent dumb discourse”— (“The Tempest,” Act III, Scene 3.) 2. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers’—(“Macbeth,” Act IV, Scene 3.) ; 3. “The horn, the horn, the lusty horn.”— (“As You Like It,” Act IV, Scene 2.) | 4. “And let me wring your heart for so I shall’—“Hamlet,” Act III, Scene 4.) 5. “A hand open as day for melting charity”’—“King Henry = IV” (Part II, Act III, Scene 4.) 6. “Can such things be?”’—(*“Mac- . beth,” Act III, Scene 4.) 7. “Gossip of the air”’—(“Tweélfth Night,” Act I, Scene 3.) : 8. “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low—an excellent thing in woman”— (“King Lear,” Act .V, Scene 3.) : 9. “I will a round unvarnished tale deliver”—(“Othello,” Act I, Scene 3) ? He 10. “He makes . sweet music’— (“The Two Gentlemen of Vernona” (Act II, Scene 17.) : : 2 2 2 Variety - Hour Roundup—Doe Rockwell, knight of the rocking chair, will be back on Vallee’s program, as will Joe Laurie Jr. Other performers will © include Mitzi Green, whom illness prevented from appearing last week, and Dennis King, radio and screen singer. ! ; ow Lucy Monroe, who recently made her Metropolitan Opera debut, and George Beatty, vaudeville comedian, will be heard with ‘ Lanny Eoss on “Show Boat.” Bing Crosby’s “Music Hall” stars will be Constance Bennett and Reginald Denny of the films and Florence George, soprane
