Tuesday, and Sunday she begins a new year on WIRE, having marked her program's seventh anniversary last week. She has broadcast more than 400 times in Indianapolis, always under

sponsorship of her father, Jake Feld. She also was on the air twice from New York, but she says pleasing Indianapolis audiences is far more important to her than winning national fame.

SATURDAY PROGRAMS

If you are wondering about the future of your favorite entertainer, the chances are he—or she—will be back next fall on the same network and at the same hour as last season. There are a few exceptions, of course, but early announcements indicate there will be few changes on the important programs. The truth is, as you may have read before, little new talent is being developed, and changes now foreseen will be shifting of established stars from one program to another. ” ” ”

But before taking up next fall's schedules, NBC has an announcement that deserves pre-eminence in any program discussion. It concerns Ina Claire, brilliant and charming comedienne, and Osgood Perkins, likewise talented and versatile, who will costar in three broadcasts beginning Sunday, July 25. The broadcasts will complement NBC's Shakespearean cycle which stars John Barrymore on Monday evenings, and which will be followed by four Eugene O'Neill plays and a radio version of George Bernard Shaw’s “Back to Methuselah.” Miss Claire’s first Sunday evening performance—to be heard from 6 to 7 o'clock on the Blue network— will be in the perennial “Madam Sans Gene,” Victorien Sardou’s amusing comedy of the Napoleonic era. Her other two plays, which will be heard on Aug. 1 and Aug. 8, have not been announced. ” u ”

In announcing the Claire-Perkins broadcasts, NBC of course listed each performer's outstanding successes, but failed to mention “End of Summer,” in which they both played last season at English’s. Miss Claire's best-known vehicle, perhaps, was “Biography,” which was brought to the screen with Ann Harding in the role Miss Claire created on Broadway. Though CBS and NBC each has “discovered” the drama this season, the networks differ in program policy. NBC prefers to book its talent for several appearances—John Barrymore's six Shakespearean plays, for instance—while CBS schedules entirely different casts for each of its Shakespearean offerings, No matter what you think of either network’s attempts to translate Shakespeare to the microphone, this certainly is the summer to hear these things if you ever want to, for it’s unlikely such undertakings will be repeated. CBS’ talent budget alone for its eight Shakespearean offerings is said to total about $56,000, exclusive of management costs and general overhead. It seems incredible that the net= works are spending sums like these to fill gaps between commercial programs during the light summer months. It may not happen again.

COPYRIGHT 19BY SOMM OILLE CO

WELL, the reasons Prof. Folson seems to have had in mind when I heard him make this remark are that the modern girl is far more worldly wise than was her grandmother; she has much wider experiences — knows men and the world better, knows herself better, and, to find a mate that really matches her qualities, she usually needs to “look over” a larger num-

ber of the male sex than grand-

mother did. In other words she has s0 many standards of judgment that she is harder to please. ” ” 2 YES, I think it would, but nobody is sver going to do it.

SOMETHING To GAY THAN TO KNOW HOW T0 SAY ITP 3

Human nature is not equal to the strain. It is just the fact that human nature is made as it is that makes kidnaping possible. The kidnapers bank on human sympathy, love and anxiety and penalize it. That is why it is the lowest of all crimes and why the perpetrators should have the worst punishment.

” = 2 AFTER listening for 30 years at conventions to some of the most important speeches of this generation without anyone being able to tell what the speaker was

talking about, and listenung to hundreds of college lectures I think it

far more important forthe speaker

to know how to speak. Otherwise he should forever hold his peace and publish it in some printed form. College professors wear their students out with their vocal raspings, humming and hawing, nervous movements, strident or listless voices, etc. They think they are “lecturing!” It is a crime to call the “lectures” of most college profs. “public speeches” or “lectures.”

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

This is the evening of Ferde Grofe’s “Modern Symphonics” program at 8 o'clock on WFBM, and no one should be surprised that Mr. Grofe has altered his plans to present a memorial program to the late

George Gershwin.

If you have paid any attention ®—

to popular music in the last dozen years, you will know that the collaboration of George Gershwin, Paul Whiteman and Ferde Grofe has had a marked effect upon all our contemporary music. Even before the “Rhapsody in Blue,” Mr. Gershwin was well-known within the confines of Tin Pan Alley as composer and arranger for the Whiteman organization. Then came the time when Mr. Whiteman conceived the daring idea of bringing Jazz into the concert hall and “making her a lady.” For that occasion he commissioned a work" for piano and orchestra from young Mr. Gershwin. Mr. Grofe served as amanuensis, for the 24-year-old Gershwin was innocent of the art of orchestration. He had “rhythm” though, and a spontaneous gift of melody. So Ferde Grofe and George Gershwin .worked side by side for thre¢ weeks. The young composer would hand the arranger a penciled sheet of manuscript, and the latter would score it. The direct result was a triumph for the “Rhap ody Blue” o ne

concert, Feb. 12, 1924. In the course of time the work has become a minor classic, and has pointed the way for serious treatment of the jazz idiom for both American and European composers. Tonight, then, you shall hear the “Rhapsody” in its entirety, perhaps with Mr. Grofe, an accomplished pianist, as soloist.

Eugene Ormandy, conducting the Vienna Symphony Orchestra from the Danube Festival in Linz, Austria, is scheduled for an NBC-Blue shortwave relay at 1 p. m. tomorrow. The broadcast portion of his concert, is to include the Beethoven Symphony in F Minor, No. 8. On Sunday at 2 p. m., NBC is to bring listeners the first act of Donizetti’s opera, “Elisir d’Amore,” from Rome. Beniamino Gigli, for many years a leading Metropolitan light, is to sing the principal role.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra again will be a CBS feature, to be heard in its accustomed Sunday evening period. “Universal Rhythm,” now heard on CBSWFBM on Sunday evening in place of the Symphony, will move to Saturaday evening, beginning Sept. 11, and the Sunday symphonic broadcasts will be resumed on Sept. 12. Other CBS-WFBM fall bookings include Kate Smith's hourlong variety show, which returns on Thursday evening, Sept. 30, to be heard again from 7 to 8 p. m. When Kate left the air for her summer vacation, there was some question about her network and hour for the fall series, but the CBS announcement settles that. Joe Penner comes back to CBS on Sunday, Oct. 6, and the “Saturday Serenade” will be resumed in September. Rubinoff’s broadcasts will be carried by CBS-WFBM beginning Sept. 26. The “Magazine of the Air,” now a popular CBS daylight program, beginning Aug. 31 is to be heard on Wednesday and Friday from 9 to 9:30 a. m. and on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:15 to 9:30 a. m.

WIRE announces with much enthusiasm—quite naturally—that beginning July 29 it will carry Bing Crosby's “Music Hall,” which during the summer stars Bob Burns as gen=eralissimo. Fred Allen's “Town Hall” also will be carried by the local NBC outlet, beginning Oct. 6, and an NBC-Red network daylight serial, “Monticello Party Line,” will be aired locally beginnig Sept. 26. With these additions to WIRE’s Red network features, the station will have most of the chain’s posular programs. WIRE changed from Blue to Red several months ago, though programs are switched gradually as contracts expire and re rewritten. 8. 8 8

Bob Ripley, back from a brief Alaskan vacation, premieres a new NBC-WLW series at 7 o’clock tonight. B. A. Rolfe again joins the impresario of oddities to direct the music. Rolfe was heard with Ripley on the latter's first radio series in 1933. The program will follow . the Ripley plan, presenting human “Believe - It - or - Nots” at the microphone. They will come from all parts of the world, according to Ripley, to share their queer experiences with the radio audience.
