WFBM to Broadcast From Franklin County Faje Grounds.

By RALPH NORMAN

Daylight programs-—despair alike of many listeners and of many [broadcasters who find it difficult to [fill long morning and afternoon periods with worthwhile entertain ment or with good instructional features—may come in for rénoe vating in the networks’ owrrent superiority contest. Until this week, most of the network competition affected noncommercial broadcasts, particularly sports events and the much-her-alded Shakespearean plays of NBC and CBS. Mutual has not figured extensively in the arguments over ringside seats and best microphone positions at regattas and track meets. Mutual kept to its knitting, quietly signing prominent dance bands to exclusive contracts, and now, just as quietly, comes an announcement of & new daylight program policy on one serial—a policy I won't be surprised to see extended to other daytime offerings. To play the leading role in “The Couple Next Door,” Mutual brings to Chicago the well-known Dorothy Gish. Harold Vermilyear, also a Broadway player, who appeared in the famous “Boy Meets Girl,” will be heard in a supporting role. Few prominent stage or screen actresses have been starred in daylight shows, and only a few have played in serials, even dure ing the evening periods. Halen Hayes was heard last season in the leading role of NBC's “Bambi,” and Ethel Barrymore was heard weekly, though not in & dramatic serial. Miss Barrymore was replaced, however, by Helen' Menken in a serial called “Second Husband.” It may be heard at 6:30 p. m. each Wednesday over NBC-Blue stations. Irene Rich also is heard weekly, but her series is composed of individual one-act plays, most of them by NBC's prolific Arch Oboler. Miss Gish, in “The Couple Next Door,” will make her debut as the radio star of her own show, though like most stage and screen personalities, she has guest starred on variety programs. Her first performance will be Monday morning, Dolores Gillen concluding her work in the starring role of “The Couple Next Door” with Friday's broadcast, With radio competition getting keener every day, listeners have every reason to expect improvement in the daylight shows. long the networks’ weakest division.

If you hear weird noises coming from your loud speaker at 8:45 p. m. any Monday, Wednesday or Friday evening, the chances are you're listening to WIRE's new ‘“Audiograph” broadcast. Originated by Allen French, who recently came to WIRE from Pittsburgh, the program gives listeners opportunity to guess what is represerited by different sounds. A portion of the program is recorded and part is originated in the WIRE studios by staff members. ” Other local stations notes—Earl Lewis, WIRE chief engineer, goes to Kansas City Friday to address the Midwestern division of the Institute of Radio Engineers. He will discuss “Directional Antennae Systems,” and will use WIRE'S new 5000-watt transmitter and its directional antennaes as the basis of the talk. WIRE is co-operating with the American Legion in its drive for funds for the Boy Scoul stadium at Camp Chank-ta-nun-ga, and if weather conditions permit, the station will carry a shortwave program from the camp. WIRE also carried two transcribed broadcasts in which local Scouts, Scout leaders and Indiana Congressmen described the Washington Jamboree. WFBM at 12:30 and 2:30 p. m. today will carry programs originating at the Johnson County Fair at Franklin, Ind. L. W.

Educational Psychology calls the “immediate qualities” in other peo-

” = o 2 CERTAINLY, provided he will do two things; first acknowledge absolutely to himself that he is a drunkard—an abnormal drinker, and cannot drink moderately like other men; second, work faithfully’ for weeks or months with a psychologist or psychiatrist trained in this field. As pointed out by Dr. Francis Chambers, the true drunkard does not seek the stimulating effects of

alcohol, he seeks the narcotizing effects. He does not intend to or want

drunkard to read Dr. Peabody's “Common Sense of Drinking” and mark the passages he thinks

describe his case and frankly discuss these with his doctor. I write this not to preach to'drinkers in general but to help desperately sick men.

» » » I DO NOT think so, as yet. I think they should be given the opportunity because it is their right. Then, if they prove they will serve as efficiently as men I think service should be made mandatory. How-

ever, experience proves even this would not be necessary because as I showed recently, women are much more faithful as jurors than men, and consider it a more solemn duty to society. )

as music, studying both in Italy and

Paris.

Upon his return to the United®-

States he organized several music societies in Boston and, at the age of 27, became director of the Handel and Haydn Society, one of the earliest and best known of the country’s choral organizations. n » ” Compositions by Bach, Grieg, Sibelius and Brahms will be offered tonight by Frank Black on his excellent String Symphony hour, which may be heard on WIRE at 7 o'clock, Which Bach is the composer of his programmed selection is not stated, but since the item is a Symphony in C Major, it might be safe to guess that it is the work of one of the great Johann Sebastian's talented sons. Grieg will be represented by his suite, “From Holberg's, Time,” in its

original arrangement for strings. Grieg later transcribed the suite for piano solo, in which form it has gained considerable popularity. The work is in memory of the popular 18th Century playwright, who has been called “The Danish Moliere.” The program will conclude with Sibelius’ “Rakastava,” Op. 14, and the lovely Brahms “Liebeslieder Walzer.” ” s 1d
