PROF. PITKIN has made a wide study of the problem and argues that there are not enough careers in business to go round aven for the

women want careers they seek them in social or educational work or in writing or fields where one to a great extent own job. I think any fair mind will agree there is a lot to this, and that it merits profound attention by the young women who are planning independent careers

As scientists point out, one of the chief objects of studying eclipses is to enable them to make

COMMON ERROR

Never say, “They will divide

tween the two of them.”

Good Radio Music | By JAMES THRASHER

| Turn on the fan and pull up your chair, for there are five symphony orchestra broadcasts and three choral programs awaiting your attention this week-end. First of all comes the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra, with Saul Caston conducting, over NBC-WLW at 6:30 o'clock this evening. Mr. Caston, trumpeter turned batonist, will open with Beethoven's Overture to Goethe’s “Egmont.” Then will follow a Prelude and Fugue from Bach's “Well Tempered Clavichord,” 8 me . - w— Johann Abert's arrangement; an kopf and Haertel catalog—seems to Leopold Stokowski's masterful rove heard of a cello concerto by string-orchestra transcription of the Mozart.

PAGE 15 Oy Frank Owen phil Baker Complains of Job but Signs

CBS Contract for Nation-Wide Series; McCarthy Gets Chance for Romance

Olsen and Johnson Program to Be Heard on Eastern Outlets.

To that long list of radio comeds= lans who think their job is the world's toughest, add Phil Baker, “There's nothing funny about a comedian’s job,” says the CBS funster. Nor is there anything original in Phil's declaration. Radio comedians have been shouting this away from their microphones ever since networks were ors oy ganized and jokes grew old over night. But Mr. Baker only finds jokes grow old too quickly. He learned long

— | ago that profes-

sional comedians face a microaudience two strikes already on them. “From the moyou are

dian,” he says, Phil Baker “People expect you to be funny. They take the mental attitude, ‘Here's this fellow, a professional comedian; now just let him make us laugh.’ “And that is the hardest thing to do. In 20 years in the theater, I was able to get around to telling jokes by starting off with a few serious strains of music on the ace cordion. Then, when I told a joke or was stopped by one of my lads in the box, it provided the unexpected. “But in radio and movies you get no opportunity to sneak up on vour cash customers and crack a joke. You are billed as a comedian. You are pictured making funny faces. When it is your turn to perform, they know you are a comedian, good or bad, and they expect vou to make them laugh. Another handicap to the radio comic is his Inability to make jokes about news topics of the day. Only the news items which in no way involve a national or even a sectional policy can be dealt with, Thank heaven people still fall in love, that they marry and even that some wives nag their husbands. They give us fodder for the mill, “We can jest about the foibles of humanity, of the troubles they have in getting jobs, in going on vacations, even in having new babies, so long as we are delicate. But the comic of today lives in channels that are very narrow.” " n ” Despite all this pessimism, which is shared by Fred Allen, Eddie Cantor and other comedians, Mr. Baker seems to be doing all right by himeself in this radio game. His CBS contract has been renewed, begin ning Oct. 3, and he will be heard next season on a nation-wide net-work-<which means his Sunday evening show will be rebroadcast for West Coast listeners. It's surprising, bud some of our topflight stars are known only vaguely, if at all, in the West. Kate Smith, for instance, will broadcast beyond the Rockies for the first time this fall, and many Western listeners probably never heard of her. Lucille Manners and Baake Carter are others known to every listener in the East, whose names mean little in the Coastal states. But then we don’t hear all the programs which originate in Los Angeles and San Francisco and which are carried by the West Coast divisions of NBC, CBS and by Don Lee (the West unit of Mutual). We think of Olsen and Johnson as film and vaudeville headliners and not at all as radio comedians, The fact is, though, their West Coast program is sufficiently popu=lar the sponsor will extend it to a nation-wide chain, beginning in Oc¢tober, Eddie Peabody is another broadcaster no longer heard here, al though his program is familiar enough along the Pacific, ” ” ”

While eomedian Baker is in California this summer vacationing from his CBS-WFBM show and at the same time making movies, his much-glorified stooge, Harry Me= Naughton, better known as Bottle, will appear on the Baker summer show which Harry Von Zell is com=manding. Other program guests, to be heard over CBS-WFBM at 5:30 p. m, tomorrow, will be Lee Wiley, vocalist heard frequently on CBS sustaining programs; the Phantom Strings, an instrumental group, and the Knood« lers, a toy symphony orchestra, usu=

| ally heard over NBC.

Willem Van | at | England

Mr. Baker is known as the comedian who makes his foils the most important part of his shows, and Mr. McNaughton is the co= median's ace stooge. I don't know what he intends doing tomorrow, with no Mr. Baker to heckle.

n a ” If you listened to Rudy Vallee Thursday evening, you heard what I predict will be radio's newest comedy turn--romance, We've been “feuding” via the networks for a long time, now, and the introduction of Tommy Riggs’ imaginary Betty Lou on the Vallee hour has all kinds of possibilities. For out in California, a jolly, though supercilious, young sprout by the name of Charlie McCarthy has an eye for the ladies. If Charlie isn’t carrying on a 3000-mile romance with Betty Lou before tomorrow evening is out, I don’t know Charlie—and radio script writers. And if Tommy Riggs stays on the “Variety Hour”—and Rudy ine dicated the other evening that he would—Betty Lou may be counted upon to keep up on Thursday evenings her part of the prophesied courtship.
