AS A RULE, no. Unless a man's business comes first in his thoughts day and night, he cannot win success in the modern business setup. Perhaps a laboring man, whose problems are simpler, can think of his wife all long and still keep shoveling or loading pig iron. But the business husband must put in every ounce of energy, stay late at night at the office, work all Sunday mornings on his accounts, etc., or the other fellow will beat him to the promotion. He should try to give every moment possible to his

exceptions—Napoleon, President McKinley, Alexander Hamilton, and many others. But most corporation presidents are bigger and taller than average, probably for two reasons: First, it takes strong, healthy men to fight their way to leadership and as a rule strong men are somewhat taller than average; second, there is a slight tendency—very slight— for tall men to win by looking more impressive than shorter men.

NEXT—Are men more babyish than women when they are sick?

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

, has won the inoldental-music assignment for the pretentious Shakespearean series which opens tonight with Burgess Meredith's “Hamlet” (CBS-WFBM at 7 o'clock). You may have heard Mr. Bay's “warmup” broadcast on July 1 when he conducted a symphony orchestra in a program of songs, dances and overtures written to accompany Shakespeare's plays.

These included

and Morley; Matthew Lock, bright star of the English Restoration period; Tschaikowsky and Edward German. Similar music may be expected for the actual performances. Mr. Bay promises that the songs within the play will be of traditional character, but the music of Tschaikowsky, Grieg, Sibelius and others who have written music for these plays will be utilized for fanfares, flourishes, and so on. In addition, the conductor is to use the “leitmotif” idea as developed by Wagner. The “leitmotif,” as everyone should know, is a recurrent theme identifying charac ters, situations, or emotions. “Thus Malvolio, the conceited servant in ‘Twelfth Night'"” says

works by the Elizabethans Tallis ®

to be characterized by a beautiful and stately motif which gradually becomes distorted and dissonant as his mind, harassed by misfortune, gives way.” Further, the conductor assures the doubtful that music will be used only where it has a real purpose in heightening the emphasis of certain passages—a proper blend of “music, wit and oracle” Which sounds somewhat like Wagner's philosophy of the music drama. This question of “How much music?” recalls a story told during rehearsals of Deems Taylor's opera of a. few years ago, “The King's Henchman. ing to reports, Edna St, Vincent Millay, whose poem Mr. Taylor set, kept interrupting rehearsals with the plea: | “0, Deems, you're d Ou my

QUARTET TO PLAY 'HAMLET

Gracie Allen to Present Robin Hood Drama Tonight.

By RALPH NORMAN It no longer is necessary to write “He is undecided about his radio future” when referring to Fred Allen. Freeman Gosden (he's Amos) and Charles Correll (he’s | Andy) likewise have settled their future by signing a new contract. Just ‘as everyone expected, Mr. Allen will be back on “Town Hall” next fall, to continue the program : in its present form. His new contract is for two years—with summer vacation, of course—to become effective this fall after he completes a film assignment in Hollywood. “Town Hall,” just as it is today, with Walter O'Keefe substituting as master of ceremonies, has been on NBC for three seasons, and Mr. Allen's new contract extends -. the program to five straight seasons. n ” ” Amos 'n’ Andy change sponsors beginning Jan. 3, 1938, to be heard on their present schedule and network for the sponsor of Fred Murray's Wednesday evening show and the Friday night “Hollywood Hotel.” Whether either of these programs will be dropped when Amos 'n’ Andy change to their new sponsor next year has not been announced. The boys made their radio. debut. Aug. 19, 1929, and deubtless are radio's most ° successful male team. Their new booking is' for three years. Successful radio partners, it seems, generally are husband and wife combinations. At least this is true of the highly successful couples. There are Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone; Fred Allen and Portland Hoffa; George Burns and Gracie Allen, and Fibber McGee and Molly, and there may be others. 8. George -Burns swears that an insurance salesman approached him the other day wanting to insure him against the day Gracie might regain. her mental processes, thereby :" throwing them both out of work. Just in case you're like the salesman and believe that Gracie isn’t fooling at the microphone, just remember that she successfully man- - ages a large home in Hollywood, -* cares for two children as well as a °* husband, makes several movies a year, appears weekly on radio and finds time for occasional guest appearances on radio and stage, writes magazine articles, and draws a salary, with her husband, of about $5000 weekly from radio alone. All this talk around the NBC and CBS Hollywood studios about the: Monday evening Shakespearean ° broadcasts finally reached Gracies ears, and of course she was inspired to outwit the network bigwigs who have ‘done so much talking about the Bard. So tonight—WIRE at 6o'clock—Gracie proposes to present her own historical dramatization, “The Private Life of Mrs. Robin Hood.” EJ n ” So by way of Fred Allen to Amos 'n’ Andy to Gracie Allen, we finally arrive at radio's Monday evening'piece de resistance—Shakespeare. . Both NBC's and CBS’ Hollywood studios .will be devoted to the classics tonight, with CBS premiering its long-promised cycle and NBC offering John Barrymore and Elaine ~ Barrie Barrymore in “The Tempest.” The characters in “The Tempest,” in case you've forgotten recent headlines and aren’t familiar with this comedy, are Caliban and Ariel. It's quite a publicity stunt by NBC, of course, to capitalize on the Barrymore-Barrie romance marathon by presenting the able . actor as Caliban and Miss Barrie as Ariel. Even Mr. Barrymore last week wasn’t above jesting about '~ it when he announced the forth- - coming program. Mr. Barrymore was to have concluded his NBC cycle—which the Blue network carries from 7:30 to 8:15 o'clock each Monday evening —with “King Lear,” “Richard II” and “Winter's Tale” or “Cymbe- . line,” but for reasons unexplained * this schedule was canceled, andthe concluding ‘plays will be “The Tempest,” “Twelfth Night” and” “The Taming of the Shrew.” : The change was made, however, shortly after Miss Barrie was added to NBC's roster to be costarred with Mr. Barrymore. After her appearance as Lady Macbeth it's easy to suspect lighter roles were believed more desirable for the young actress. ¥ 8. 8 a CBS has spared no expense to. contract distinguished casts for its eight Shakespearean plays, and, unlike the NBC series, the CBS cast~ will change each week. Burgess Meredith, brilliant young actor who ~ appeared in Maxwell Anderson's" “Winterset” and “High Tor,” will be heard tonight over WFBM at 7 o'clock as Hamlet, arid his wife, Margaret Perry, will play Ophelia. You can’t listen to all the CBS presentation and hear Mr. Barrymore, too, for they conflict during the half hour from 7:30 to 8: o'clock. It's natural that both - networks would choose Monday - evening for Shakespearean plays, for this period, more than any other, is established in the dramatic division. But that both net- -, works should present their outstanding summer features at the same hour, this department cannot excuse. Since CBS an-. nouncd its schedule first, I choose to blame NBC for allowing rivalry . to overbalance public service. : Incidentally, if you aren't inter< ested in the classics, either NBC or CBS, Phil Spitalny’s all-girl orches-' tra always may be counted on for® good music—WIRE at 7:30 o'clock. on ” ” - ETWORK NOTES—“While the" N City Sleeps,” an NBC daytime serial, returns to the Red network today, to be heard at 3:15.on - day, Wednesday and Friday. . . , “One Man’s Family” moves to Hollywoed in August, and for the first : time since it originated five years ago, this Wednesday evening NBO show will originate: outside of San Francisco. . . .
