Benny Goodman, one might sure mise with safety, is a trifle dise teoncerted. For there's nothing worse than having a well-meant [joke taken'in deadly seriousness, and that's what fs happening to the [clarinet viruoso's “Society for the Suppression of Swing.” As it was related here recently, Mr. Goodman started the society merely to provide a little heckling fon his Tuesday night “Swing |8chool” (which you may hear this evening on WFBM at 7:30). But the quip turned upon fits creator, The first thing Mr. Goodman knew, some people in Huntington, Cal, had organized a "war to the death.” Then a music school director in New York came out for swing repeal. Now, in fashionable Newport, R. 1, you have to have a special license to “swing it” in the resort's dine-and-dance spots, There are no restrictions on “sweet tunes,” tangoes and other mani. festations of the current musical trend, All this seemed to Mi Goodman to call for a defense, s0 the maestro has come forth with a copyrighted article for NEA Service. In it. he [pleads again that swing is not “a | scurrilous craze, completely nygereps | resenting present-day civilization and distorting the musical tastes of the younger generation.

Yes, business develops a woman's character —but it is not as a rule the most feminine side of a woman's character. These are my sentiments.

Good Radio Music

For the first time in many months, as far as this department knows,

a Sibelius symphony will be heard poser's Symphony No. 1 is played at

on the air when the Finnish comGrant Park, Chicago, tonight. Roy

Shield will conduct, and the broadcast may be heard on NBC-Blue

network stations at 7:30 o'clock.

Sibelius certainly deserves inclusion among the standard svmphon-

| ists, yet his large orchestral works are heard

Instead we hear such things ase

| “Finlandia” and the “Valse Triste,” ,

which certainly aren't Sibelius at

his best. Some of the symphonies are not | ideal summer concert music, yet this | does not explain the general year- | ‘round neglect, at least in broadcast | concerts. Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that most of these works | are a big job for the average conductor. Certainly the batonist in-| likely to avoid them. Besides the First Symphony, to- | night's program will include a group | of songs by Gounod, Bachelet and | Lemaire, sung by Ruth Lyon, NBC | staff singer. ” t ” | A highlight of this evening's Sin- | fonietta concert, directed by Alfred | Wallenstein (Mutual-WOR at 38 o'clock) will be the so-called “Paris” | Symphony of Mozart. This work | dates from the beginning of the tragic days which continued, almost without interruption, until the composer’'s early death. It was written during the 22.year-old composer's unhappy sojourn in the French capital with his mother. The symphony was about the only composition of this period to meet with any semblance of deserved recognition. Other items on this broadcast ‘wiil be the Ballet Music from Schubert's “Rosamunde,” and a Scherzo by Lalo. ;

comparatively seldom. |

Continuing their series of violin and piano sonata recitals. Nico | lai Berezowsky and Emanuel Bay | will play the popular and melodious | A Major Sonata of Gabriel Faure | at 1:45 p. m. tomorrow, via CBSWFBM.

HUNTS AIR TALENT AT MORRISTOWN

Times Special

| tious would-be radio entertainers |from Shelby County are to end a two-day talent audition tonight in Dodds Memorial Hall, Morristown. Miss Mary O'Hara of the WLS Community Service is conducting the talent search for the Chicago station's Prairie Farmer barn dance

programs. They appeared last week in one of Gus Haenschen's recorded | programs and tomorrow morning they are to be heard on the CBS« WFBM “Magazine of the Afr” at 9 o'clock. »

| Helen Menken, who recently urged ( neighborhood theaters to revive stage successes, is having trouble with her radio role, she says. For the last few weeks she has been heard over CBS at 5:30 p. m. Tuesdays in a serial play, “Second Husband.” As the plot becomes more come plicated, Miss Menken says she {can't forget the heroine's troubles | from week to week. “I live all my roles,” she says, “Every actress does. But a radio serial is different from an ore dinary play, in which each day the action is completely resolved. | Tn a serial, everything ends up in | the air and the heroine's troubles | Just can’t be left at the studio.” !

In an exclusive NEA article ree | cently, Miss Menken suggested that | prize-winning plays of other vears, | for which scenery could be had easily from New York warehouses, | be revived in small theaters at pop= ular prices, just as they are remade | for movies and radio.
