The appointment of Gilbert Sel- ” des as CBS television program director calls new attention to United States television.

Mr. Seldes is to leave mewspaper work Sept. 1 to teke up his new position. His program eenter is to be located in the Grand Central « Terminal Building, which will be connected by coaxial cable with the": projected television transmitter in the Chrysler Building tower. NBC recently leased the tower ot the Empire State Building for a similar purpose, and its transmitter there is already in “successful” operation. Radio Corp. of America, which owns NBC , is building the CBS equipment. RCA is prepared to begin mass production of television sets on short notice, the moment an NBC competitor, that is, CBS, begins commercial ._ television broadcasting, according to Lenox R. Lohr, NBC president,

Mr. Lohr, who has announced a public showing of television for the 1939 World's Fair in New York, does not believe commercial television will materialize’ before then. A trade magazine recently forecast, however, that commercial licenses would be granted within the next year, : A number of advertisers have al- | ready optioned space on the air as | soon as television broadcasting | starts commercially, ‘ The present discussion of televi sion has emphasized the recent re- | duction in price of receiving sets in | England from $498.75 to $315. Television is more practical there than here because distances between cities are smaller. The British equipment makes it possible to tele vize all outdoor scenes that ean be taken on a movie newsreel | camera, A new German cathode ray tube has made possible images as large as those on a movie screen. British sets produce an image about two feet square and require a darkened room for receiving. The American Telephone & Tele~

SINCE the orbit of the earth is not a circle, the sun is not always the same distance from us, but this has no effect on the seasons, as can be seen from the fact that the northern hemisphere is closest to the sun when it is having its winter. The distance varies from about 91.5 million miles in January to 94.5 million in July.

AS DR. DONALD LAIRD, psychologist, says—paraphrased—When two extraverts meet

they start a bank or laundry or some other business.- When two introverts meet they start an argument. The extravert doesn’t waste much time arguing. He is always going to do big things—and sometimes does. He builds a house on $500 but the introvert doesn't start until he has all the money in the bank. ” un 2 THAT STAUNCH defender of us old folks, Walter Pitkin, stoutly maintains in his optimistic book, “Careers After Forty,” that older people are not at a disadvantage in certain types of work. He lists three types of jobs open for

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

The 10th and final broadcast by scheduled for 2 p. m. tomorrow. Act

NBC from the Salzburg Festival is II of Mozart's “Don Giovanni” is to

be heard, and the shortwave rebroadcast is to continue until 3:30 p. m,

Bruno Walter will conduct, and

two Metropolitan stars, Ezio Pinza

and Elisabeth Rethberg, will be heard as Don Giovanni and Donna Anna, The second act finds justice catching up with the licentious Don, and includes the scene with the statue of Donna Anna's father. Apart from the dramatic truth and expressiveness of the music, this

opera, and the circumstances surrounding its composition, exhibit the remarkable facility ot Mozart's genius. Completely developed in the composer's mind, the actual writing took place at ‘a friend's summer villa, with Mozart jotting down the notes casually in the midst of conversation and skittle playing. The rest of the story, of course, is famous. The night before the first performance found the opera with no overture. So Mozart's wife fed him punch and kept him awake all night by telling stories. The score was rushed to the copyist at 7 o'clock in the morning and the orchestra played the overture at sight that evening, hefore the ink on the parts had dried. » ” ” One day in 1788, “Papa” Haydn called the court musicians of Count Esterhazy’s orchestra for an impor-

tant rehearsal. When they were assembled he distributed seven toy instruments he had bought at a fair. He then handed out parts for a “cuckoo” which played E and G, a trumpet and drum in G, a whistle, a triangle and a “quail” in F. There also were parts for two violins and double bass. Then the rehearsal began. The work was a symphony in C, but

the rehearsal didn’t go very well,

for the players couldn’t stop laughing long enough to keep time, count measures or play their new “instruments.” It is likely that Howard Barlow had the same trouble rehearsing his men for tonight's scheduled performance of the Haydn “Toy” Symphony. The program will be the second in the “Evenings With Papa Haydn” series, and may be heard on CBS-WFBM at 8:18 o'clock. The G Minor Symphony, subtitled “The Hen,” also is to be played. o Don Hancock, former WFBM announcer, has been selected as com-

graph Co. recently signed an agree ment with one of the holders of fundamental television patents, Philo T. Farnsworth, for nonexclu« sive rights. Emphasizing that Mr. Seldes’ work will be experimental, CBS of«

| ficials say they do not know when

commercial work can begin.

The new studio is to measure 225 feet im length, 60 feet in width, and 40 feet from floor to ceiling. It will be directly above the Grand Central waiting room. William 8. Paley, CBS president, last year told the FCC that Columbia has set aside two million dollars to experiment in television,

CBS recently delayed its plans to build a rival to Radio City in New’ York because of possibilities it would need to be rebuilt for television and because of the trend of big shows to Hollywood. Almost at the same time, NBC and Mutual postponed building of Hollywood studios until television needs are more certain, Powell Crosley Jr. today announced plans to build a new mil-lion-dollar studio for WLW and WSATI at Cincinnati without any indication, so far as the publicity revealed, that television had modified the arrangements, The new CBS Hollywood studios, built in the face of the television threat, are to be ready for occupancy Jan. 1.
