Walter Winchell to Star | InDe Mille Presentation Of 'Front Page.’

By RALPH NORMAN Here's something to get worked up about. Arthur Pryor Jr.. New York advertising executive, after giving : broadcasters at their recent naticnal convention a good lacing for pcor network program quality, declared that “nice people pay very little attention to radio.” Potential listeners shun radio, Mr. Pryor argued, because of the many ‘horrible things that come out of loud speakers.” > If Mr. Pryor was quoted correctely, we can assume he thinks. very little of present broadcasting: methods. But whether he’s right or wrong about that. I believe he’s wrong about the “nice people” listening. Most of the “nice peo-. ple” I know do listen, though they may complain a good deal about what they hear. But Mr, Pryor may be putting it too strong. How about the many serious music broadcasts outlined in the “Good Radio Music” department on this page Saturday, that will be heard even in the summer months. How about ithe CBS “Radio Theater,” which Frank Sharp, WFBM manager, tells me incites more telephone

——

JUST ask yourself how many people there are whose success gives you a thrill of joy. Perhaps one or two—a husband, wife, son or daughter, but: not many more. Our own strongest passion— the passion to be important—rises up and interferes. Of course, we feel glad at the success of our social or political leader but that is because his success enhances our own importance—our set or party has put a new feather in its cap. But sheer delight at the success of others does not often possess us.

war and poverty, and with threats of still worse in the hereafter if he doesn’t behave himself here. So a little thing like -a ‘flood or earthquake does not discourage. him in the least. The recent floods, of course, mean lifelong ruin to thousands and yet they grit their teeth, steel their nerves, calm their hearts and go at the great task of life once more, right on the spot where the same disaster may happen any time again.

COMMON ERRORS

Never use the expression “third alternative.” The word “alternative” means one of two things between which a choice is possible.

calls for program information than any other WFBM broadcast? 2 How about Rudy Vallee’s “Variety. Eour,” which has been entertaining consistently for several years? And Eing Crosby’s “Music Hall,” another’ Thursday evening broadcast usually as breezy and amusing as the average film comedy. And, Mr. Pryor, have you listened

to W. C. Fields and Edgar Bergen

on Sunday evening? ” ”n » There were at least four excellent symphonic broadcasts each. week all winter—the Philadelphia crchestra on Friday night, and the New York Philharmonic, Detroit, and Rapee orchestras on Sunday. Surely, Mr. Pryor, they weren't “horrible.” ? = There were other good programs, too, during the winter, and there ¢ére several being aired this summer. Between those, especially during the daylight periods, there are rnany mediocre offerings and many “horrible things” that come out of the loudspeaker if one turns it on. But the discriminating listener, if he gives his radio fare the same. attention he gives movie or theater going, may hear several—perhaps many—really worthwhile programs.. He might even listen and still be & “nice” person, Mr. Pryor.

u 2

Now, for a paragraph or two, I shall take Mr. Pryor’s side of the argument. The reason is NBC's scheduling Elaine Barrie Barrymore for her former . husband’s Shakespearean drama tonight. They will be heard in “Richard IIL.” When NBC pirated CBS's Shakespearean cycle idea, and scheduled capable John Barrymore for the leading role each week, it announced the series would attempt serious interpretation of the Bard’s | best-known plays. : Perhaps, but Miss Barrie—or Mrs. Barrymore, if you wish—is slightly better known for her marital rifts with Mr. Barrymore than for dramatic ability. Her performance may be satisfactory, but it's obviously an NBC publicity stunt, and the kind of thing which inspires such criticism as Mr. Pryor aimed at broadcasters and at listeners. o The good news from NBC today is that Mr. Barrymore's Shakespearean plays—which may be heard at 7:30 o’clock each Monday evening over the Blue network —will be followed by four Eugene O’Neill plays which will be radioed for the first time. The ‘schedule lists “Bevond the Horizon,” first of O'Neill's works to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and two one-act dramas, “The Fountain” “Where the Cross Is Made.” The fourth title will be announced later.

and bring little to a discussion of the Toscanini genius except a speechless

awe. It remains, however, for L. Leslie Loth, young and prolific Virginia composer, to be moved to musical expression by a Toscanini performance. The story goes that Mr. Loth attended one of the maestro’s Carnegie Hall concerts and left in more than the usual state of spiritual elevation which possessed these audiences. Accordingly, he went into seclusion for 10 days, and emerged with a composition called “Paen.” which, as you might guess, is a musical hymn of praise and exultation.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

The prevalent and parasitic flower of professional jealousy seems to attach itself to all musicians, great and small. Arturo Toscanini seems to escape the plague of back-biting, bickering and second-guessing indulged in by most orchestra conductors. Such men as Eugene Ormandy, Jose Iturbi and Vladimir Horowitz
