YES, nearly always, especially with a little help from some one else. As related in Occupations, the Vocational Guidance Magazine, a counsellor on dress and a beauty consultant were added to the personnel department at Stephens College, and the results were astounding. The “wall-flowers” and “dumbbells” and students with inferiorities almost all disappeared overnight. § & #

DOCTOR DORSEY and I had many friendly arguments over heredity and environment, but on this point, I would in the main agree with him. Fear is chiefly a matter of one's attitudes toward

things, and, second, on his habits of thinking about them. You can easily make a child afraid of the dark or snakes or different foods and, just as easily, you can make him unafraid of these things or of schoolteachers just as they catch about 90 per cent of their fears and courage from their parents and

school teachers just as they catch the measles.

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

Mozart's last opera, the fantastic “Magic Flute,” is to be performed tomorrow at the Mozart Festival in Salzburg, Austria, and NBC plans to rebroadcast a part of Act II for American listeners at 2:30 p. m. on its

Blue network

Arturo Toscanini will conduct and the Vienna Philharmonic Or-

chestra will be in the pit. There has

been no announcement of the cast,

but you may be sure of hearing prominent singers recruited from the leading European and American opera houses.

It might not be amiss to say again® that this opera stands as a crowning proof of Mozart's genius. The libretto is so vague, fantastic and ludicrous that it was given up as hopeless almost from the first performance. Yet the opera continues to be performed because of its beautiful music, for which audiences seem willing to endure the book's doggerel verses and absurd situations. ” ” ”

A new series is announced by CBS which will feature its staff concert orchestra and guest conductors. Tonight's inaugural program will be directed by Paul Lemay, conductor of the Duluth Symphony Orchestra, and is scheduled for 45 minutes beginning at 6 o'clock by WFBM. Conductors for the next three weeks will be Frederick Charles Adler, Philip James and Bernard Herrmann. To open the concert Mr. Lemay has chosen a Fantasie for Strings by John Jenkins, who was one of England’s first instrumental composers. The work is in the transcription of Arnold Dolmetsch, enThustass of things musical, ancient an nglish.

Osm— — —t—— Defunte”; the “Pastorale d'Ete” of

Honegger and Schumann's Fourth Symphony.

” " o Three famous pianists, Harold Bauer and Rudolph Ganz, who surely need no introduction, and George Copeland, one of the first and bestknown American Debussy interpreters, will be soloists with the Robin Hood Dell Symphony, under Jose Iturbi’s direction, at 6:30 o'clock tonight. The broadcast will come from Philadelphia by way of the NBCBlue network. Bach's C Major Concerto for three pianos and strings will bring the distinguished guests to the microphone. Half the fun of these ‘“multiple” concertos is in witnessing the performance, but the C Major Concerto is lovely music in its own right. The gay and rhythmic first movement should lose nothing even if one can't see the solo passages “bounce” from one solo instrument to the other.

” ~ o The last of the Kolisch Quartet’s Beethoven-Schoenberg broadcast cycle is to be heard p. m, via NBO. The haif-hour

| operate for six more months with

500 kilowatts (500,000 watts) power. The renewal is effective Aug. 1, and means that WLW will continue for six months thereafter as the coun-

| try’s most powerful transmitter.

More important, perhaps, to listeners was the commission's failure to act on petitions of 15 other stations which seek power increases to 500 kilowatts, These stations now operate on 50 kilowatts (50,000 watts), and are scattered throughout

| the country.

After a hearing last fall on advisability of permitting several superpower stations, at which en-

| gineers reported it would be tech- | nically sound but that social and

economic factors involved might outweigh engineering advantages, the commission appointed an economist to study possible effects of superpower stations on small independent operators. His report has not been made public. ” n n

There has been a good deal of agitation in Washington during the current Congressional session for an investigation of the entire radio setup. Representatives and Senators have charged that a few people— about 300 one representative said— control the entire radio system, with the three networks at the top. In New York, there is trouble again over phonograph recordings used for broadcast purposes. Joseph Weber, American Federation of Musicians president, yesterday began a series of conferences to determine what action the group would take to regulate use of recordings, Long a sore point with musicians, who resent stations’ free use of their output, you can expect some action from the New York hearings, though what that action will be and how it will affect independent stations, no one knows. NBC and CBS use nothing but sound effects recordings on chain programs, and Mutual uses nothing but special recordings made for broadcast purposes. The argument is not over the specially transcribed programs, which are made by sponsors to be released to stations throughout the country simultaneously, but is over small stations’ use of records without consent of the musician and without royalty to him. As you know, many small stations use records all day long, and some use them during evening hours, Fred Waring has headed a group of orchestra leaders and singets who have waged court fights and appealed to Congress to enforce record restrictions. In some cases, stations make agreements with record makers to play recordings, and the stations are entirely within their rights. I'm not taking sides, but merely pointing out that the old trouble has flared again. And that trouble will threaten until a settlement is reached. ” on ” Here's a surprise from behind-the-radio-scene: According to NBC's statistical department, Fred Allen, Walter O'Keefe and Jack Benny are not comedians! No, the statisticians list the funsters as “novelty acts.” NBC's comedians, the statisticians say, are Amos ‘n’ Andy, Easy Aces and others who use humorous scripts.” ” ” ” WFBM has a complicated system of electric locks on all studio doors now, and for good reason. A persistent lad the other day tried to sell a newscaster a magazine while the newscaster was on the. air with open microphone. How he got in remains an unsolved WFBM mystery, so to prevent a similar--and perhaps worse ~gccident, the electric locks were installed. ” ” » WIRE tonight adds another NBCRed network topflight program to its schedule when it carries Bob Burns’ “Music Hall” from 8 to 9 o'clock. The Arkansas rustic’s guests performers tonight will include Madge Evans and Adolphe Menjou of the films and Fortunio Bonanova, the “Clark Gable of South America,” who was heard with Burns only a couple of Thursdays ago. ” ” » Jack Haley, the “Show Boat” comedian who has done better than all right by himself on the new program, switches this fall to NBC's “Log Cabin” broadcast which will have the same sponsor as does “Show Boat.” Haley's place in Cap'n Henry's cast will be taken by Bert Wheeler of film comedy fame. Since both shows are under the same sponsorship, the comedians may by switched from one program to the other during next season. ” ” ” ADIO FOOTNOTES — Johnny Green's orchestra, with Trudy Wood and Jimmy Blair as vocalists, will broadcast over NBC-WIRE at 12:45 p. m. tomorrow a special program which will be relayed by shortwave to English listeners. . . .
