Wealth of Talent Youngsters' Ranks Is Emphasized.

By RALPH NORMAN As last night’s best listening hours were devoted to serious drama, tonight's best periods will be lively with dance music. : A couple of weeks ago Johnny

| Green's orchestra and vocalists, pree

senting a straight musical show, ree placed Fred Astaire and Charlie Butterworth for the summer. And now tonight Benny Goodman’s ore chestra takes full command of the Jack Oakie show, for which it pros. vided wild swing tunes all winter and spring. This rhythm revelry will be prefaced by the familiar strains of Wayne King’s orchestra, an orchestra which seems to remain popular season after season, with no change in style or program design. WIRE and WFBM at 7:30 o'clock will offer interesting contrast, with Green's and Goodman’s orchestras in competition. * It was - Jack Benny's program which boosted Green to network fame and his tunes retain a degree of commercial program conservae tism. But not so with Goodman, whose dance engagements preceded network cormamercial contracts. The band, doubtless, is the wildest swinging outfit on any current sponsored broadcast, now that Louis 'Arme strong’s Friday night program has faded. ” 3 ” Of the four CBS and NBO Tuesday variety shows which ran through the spring, only one remains after tonight. Al Jolson, . after his CBS-WFBM 6:30 o'clock program, joins the vacationing Astaire, Butterworth and Oakie, leaving only Al Pearce and his Gang. And Pearce et.al. will be vacationing in California, where their transcontinental tour takes them this week, but their programs will be aired each Tuesday evening. 2 2 8 Jolson tonight will present Frank Craven's “Story of the Race Track” as his final dramatic sketch, and there will be songs by Al and Mare tha Raye. Jolson’s “Cafe Trocadero” is one of the several Hollywood-originated shows which this past season proved again that a broadcast can be no better than its script. Thousands of dollars in talent is little help if the stars are given unfunny things to say. For some reason, many of the West Coast performers were in this predicament all season. Yet others, like Jack Benny, whose programs with exception of three weeks emanated from the film capital, gave evidence of the best scriptidg in any of the broadcasting centers.

Behind the new Goodman show is a success story that you probably won't hear about via the loudspeakeer. It concerns Meyer Alexander, whose “Swing-Time Chorus” will be an important part of the program’s personnel. Alexander went to Hollywood less than two years ago from Portland, Ore. He was shy, ambitious young man looking for something to do. An excellent musical background helped him the lean days, but the “breaks” did now come. Then George Btoll, whose orchestra was heard on the Oakie shows at that time, suggested he direct: a radio chorus. - _ He stopped looking for work, and went to work on the idea. He used, and still uses, 12 voices, be-

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER ~~

Many people have a way of thinking that the Romanticists discovered

“program” music, despite all information to the contrary.

In conversa-

tions or articles, they neatly. divide the “absolute” music of the Classicists and the descriptive compositions, which came in with early 19th Century

composers, into definite classification

The fact is that there never was a period of musical history when the

abstract reigned exclusively. The lea

rned Bach wrote music of a descrip-

tive nature. Kuhnau, Couperin, Ra-® -

meau and other of his contemporaries let their fancies run free—at least in their titles, though one is often hard put to find the description in the music itself. You may hear compositions of both types tonight at 8:30 o'clock on the NBC-Blue network when the Manuel and Williamson Harpsichord Ensemble offers a program by 17th Bach, Scarlatti, Rameau, Locatelli, Bull and Handel are to be the great names represented. 8 ” n Earliest of these is John Bull (1563 1628) organist of Queen Elizabeth’'s Chapel Royal and later organist of the Notre Dame Cathedral at Antwerp. Dr. Bull—he received his Doctor of Music degree from Oxford in 1592—was hailed “the first performer in the world” in his own day, and since has been called “the Liszt of his age.” He deserves a place with Scarlatti among those composers who widened the range of keyboard technique in the days before Chopin and Liszt. On this evening’s program his jig, “The King’s Hunt,” is to be heard. Other examples of early program music are to be Rameau’s “Madame Livri” and “The Egyptian Girl.” © At the other musical pole is to be a Siciliano and Prelude by Bach, a Presto by Locatelli and a Handel Sonata. Sgarlatti is to be

Florindo Be Faithful,” for alto voice with harpsichord accompaniment. ” o "n Also on the NBC-Blue network is to be an international broadcast from Warsaw at 2 p. m. tomorrow. A brief program of Chopin Mazurkas is to be -played by Henry Sztompka, who won the Chopin prize in 1927. Mr. Sztompka is said to be Ignace Jan Paderewski’s favorite pupil, which would seem to be quite a distinction. For I seem to recall reading that Mr. Paderewski shares with Mr. Rachmaninoff a. decided aversion to teaching anyone. ;

Foresees Futu re Radio Troubles

By United Press DENVER, June 29.—Long distance radio transmission will have serious trouble the next few years. because of sun spots, according to A. G. McNish of the department of terrestrial magnetism, Carnegie Institution of Washington. ; Mr. McNish has discovered that “the. ability of radio signals to

WFBM's “Children’s Hour” finals, as did the “High. School Scholarship Hour,” emphasized the wealth of talent among our youngsters, who need only an opportunity to get before the public. Seeing the broadcast in the William H. Block

"| Co. auditorium, I was impressed by

the polished performances of most of the contestants, and several lise teners have commented on the exe cellence of the final program. . Youngsters can't get by on these programs by just being “cute.” They turn in performances worthy of much older and more experienced entertainers, all the while getting experience which should help them though they may never take such work seriously. ” ” ” INING up a few radio futures— ; Fred Waring, whose band and entertainers have been absent from the networks all year, will be back in the fall. . . . Jane Froman, who takes over for Jack Benny Sunday night, already is signed for a fall network series, as is Shelia Barrett, the mimic often heard on Rudy Vallee and other programs. . . , Del Casino replaces Frank Parker on the “Rippling Rhythm Revue” beginning Sunday evening. . . , Amelia Earhart, who, NBC announced, will make two exclusive talks over the senior network, has been signed by CBS for a “Radio Theater” between-act talk on July 5. . . . Here's something else for the networks to battle about, . . . Harry Conn, who wrote much of Jack Benny's script, will work with
