No wonder Charlie McCarthy made no airwave advances Sunday evening toward Tommy Riggs’ Betty Lou, the mythical little girl who will be back on the Vallee program this evening. The competition in

Hollywood, with Dorothy Lamour

romantic whisperings, was too tough for Betty Lou, who is 3000 miles

away in New York.

Betty Lou is the imaginary character which Tommy Riggs introduced to WLW listeners several months ago, and which Lyric patrons heard when the WLW troupe played here recently. ported signed for two more Vallee shows after tonight.

Incidentally, the gentleman on

known “mouthpiece,” Edgar Bergen.

Good Radic Music’

By JAMES THRASHER

The able and affable National Symphony Orchestra conductor, Hans Kindler, is to make a guest appearance with the Columbia Concert Orchestra at 6 o'clock this evening on WFBM. The hour's concert will open with the Overture to Mozart's opera, “The Impresario,” to be followed by the Schubert “Unfinis

phony, the Suite from Delibes’ “Le Roi S’Amuse,” and the “Capriccio Espagnole” by Rimsky-Korsakov. Dr. Kindler won a good many new admirers for himself and his orchestra here last spring when he conducted two concerts at the National Federation of Music Clubs convention. He came to the podium from a distinguished career as a cellist. After playing with orchestras in his native city of Rotterdam and other European centers, Dr. Kindler came to the United States in 1914. For five years he was the Philadelphia Orchestra's solo cellist.

Following a world tour in 1929 he

founded the Washington orchestra

{ |

which he now conducts. n ” ” Patient listeners who have waited | 15 days to hear the third act of Wagner's “Die Meistersinger” from | Salzburg, Austria, will be rewarded tomorrow. With Arturo Toscanini | again conducting, the broadcast is | scheduled for hearing from 1:40 to 3:30 p. m. on the NBS-Blue network. Critics hearing this year’s Salzburg “Meistersinger” are echoing earlier assertions that the Italian maestro is “the greatest living ‘Meistersinger’ conductor.” Undoubtedly a decent reception should make even a shortwaved version an outstanding experience. : The Dutch tenor, Henk Noort, will be heard in the role of Walther. Hans Hermann Nissen is to sing Hans Sachs’ part; Maria Reining will be the Eva; Hermann Weidemann, the Beckmesser, and Kerstin Thorborg is to sing Magdalenas role.

Night.

Headline addresses tomorrow at the Young Democratic Clubs’ national convention here, two of them by members of President Roosevelt's family, are to be broadcast by WIRE and by NBC networks, Speeches of welcome by Governor Townsend and Mayor Kern at 10:15 a. m, are to be carried only by the local station, but later addresses will g0 on the networks. According to Drew Pearson and Robert 8. Allen, Times columnists, the President's most politically minded son, James Roosevelt, re=fused the proffered presidency of the organization. He did consent to make an address between 10 and 11 a. m. tomorrow, which will be broadcast by the NBC-Blue chain, : Mr. Roosevelt also will be interview over WIRE at 7:30 o'clock this evening, immediately after his. arrival in Indianapolis. Mrs. Franklin D, Roosevelt's talk at 12 o'clock noon is to be a special feature of WIRE's “Indiana Farm and Home Hour.” Regular Department of Agriculture market reports are to be moved up 10 minutes to permit the station to carry Mrs. Roosevelt's 25-minute address also to be carried by NBC-Red. Postmaster General James A, Farley's address, outstanding scheduled event of the convention, is to go on the air from Cadle Tabernacle from 9:30 t~ 10 p. m. tomorrow over WIR! d the NBC-Red network, Mus:c of the convention dance in the Manufacturers’ Building, State Fair Grounds, with Duke Ellington's Orchestra playing, is to be broadcast by WIRE about 11 p. m. Saturday. Other spot broadcasts may be pre= sented during the convention, ine cluding possible interviews with prominent persons. » u o

President Roosevelt made a surprise appearance on the air yesterday afternoon when he spoke from Roanoke Island, Va, on the 350th anniversary of the birth of the first English child in America. His next scheduled broadcast is to commemorate the sesqui-cen-tennial of the signing of the Constitution. His address, set for the night of Sept. 17, is to be relayed by the networks from the Sylvan Theater in Washington to Good Neighbor League dinners throughout the nation, " un n On the stage or in radio, a poor dress rehearsal superstitiously is be« lieved to foreshadow a smooth per= formance. Rudy Vallee discovered last week that the superstition has exceptions. The dress rehearsal was off to a bad start and became worse. In the broadcast, Rudy bobbed a word in announcing the dramatic sketch. Then he started to introduce Red Skelton (a Vincennes boy who is getting a break in New York) and was pushed away {rom the micro= phone by Graham McNamee. Graham was ready to put on the com= mercial blurb. Finally, Doc Rock=well, who doesn't use script, got tangled up in his lines and had to be rescued, Veteran showman Rudy will be back tonight with Doris Nolan, movie actress; Willie Howard, Broadway comic; a ship news reporter — and Tommy Riggs and Betty Lou. 8 = Purdue and Indiana Universities are included in the first six fall broadcasts of the “Varsity Show,” which NBC announces it will revive Oct. 1 in a form similar to last year’s series. Purdue is scheduled for the second week, Oct. 8. The first of the new series will be broadcast from the University of Alabama. Indiana University’s undergraduate talent is to perform Nov. 5. Southern Methodist University, University of Virginia and Fordham University are others early in the series. No hint was given as to whether John Held Jr. again would be mas=~ ter of ceremonies, but other fea=tures of the program are to be the same as last year. Forty-eight schools are said to have applied for a place on the new series. n on ” While Maj. Bowes honors Des Moines, Ia., tonight, Cap'n Henry 4s to take his rival “Show Boat” to Friars Point, Miss. (population 988). Along with “Show Boat's” reguiar performers, the Mississippi village— and NBC-WLW listeners—are to hear the Harlem comedian, Eddie Green, heckling the program's “mammy cook,” Hattie McDaniel, in a sketch entitled “Adam and

'Way back in 1922 he was taken on at WMAQ as an announcer because, he says, “I knew how to pronounce the names of composers.” With two of his sisters, Mr. Whitney played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the Ravinia Park summer concerts, and later conducted the same orchestra twice in a Concerto Grosso of his own composition. More recently he has been supervisor of the Federal Music Project in Chicago. The Whitney Ensemble will continue on the air, NBC announces, with a pianist as yet unselected.

Cantor Heads Radio Artists!

Times Special

NEW YORK, .Aug. 19.—Eddie Cantor today had been elected pres- | ident of the American Federation |

of Radio Artists. Other officers selected at the first meeting of the organization's board of governors were Lawrence Tibbett, Norman Field, Helen Hayes, Jascha Heifetz and James Wallington, vice presidents; Lucille Wall, recording secretary, and George Heller, treas- | urer, i A national executive secretary is | to be appointed at the second meeting next Thursday. An A. F. of L. charter already has been applied for.

Eve.” Mr. Green is keeping busy this summer, having worked for Mr. Vallee and on other variety shows recently. In connection with the Bowes broadcast, the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce writes, “Never has the corn been so tall.” " n n Ever since the campaign fireworks about the rebroadcast of Roosevelt speeches, the older networks have permitted no exceptions to the rule against phonograph records. “Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories” provided CBS with a ridiculous problem in preparing this week's series and one quite the reverse of usual record troubles. Stations using records have tried to disguise them to create the illusion of live music, but CBS producers had to make live talent sound like a record. They arranged to have an operatic soprano sing into a specialy filtered microphone, while a blank record scratched in the background. The “Aunt Jenny” broadcasts are heard on CBS-WFBM at 9:45 a. m., Monday through Friday " n n ADIO FOOTNOTES — Warden Lawes’ perennial Monday eve= ning dramatic sketches will be back on NBC beginning Oct. 18. ... An~other radio drama, called “Grand Central Station,” premieres on NBC late next month. . . . Eddie Cantor also comes back late in September, and he is reported as trying to get a new. period, so he won't be on CBS while Bergen-Fields-Ameche-Lamour are on NBC. . .. Eddie took this period when NBC had the unimportant “Do You Want to Be an Actor?” series running, offering little, if any, competition.
