Two Shows to Take Bowst

Play Experiment Is Planned.

Two more new shows make their bows to the radio audience tonight.

A half-hour weekly variety show called Vanity Fair and starring Cal Tinney, author-humorist, as master of ceremonies, is to be heard at 6:30 p. m, over the NBC-Blue network. The other new offering is an MBS production entitled Continental - Revue headlining Olga Baclanova of stage and screen fame. It will be heard at 6:30 tonight for : batt an hour over the MBS -network.

Mr. Tinney, erstwhile hog editor of the Oolagah Ooozings, remarkable Oklahoma newspaper, will be aided and abetted by Sheilah Graham, movie gossip columnist who will cut in from Hollywood. Others of the cast include Eileen Barton, 12-year-old singer and comedienne; Larry Duncan, impersonator, and Douglas Wilson, tenor.

Mr. Tinney’s work as columnist, hog editor and publisher brought him to the attention of a syndicate that markets his column to newspapers. When Mr. Tinney resigned his post as hog editor to go: an the radio, the Oozings ran the following headline: “Oolagah Rid of Tinney.” Miss Baclanova, whose appearance on the Continental Revue marks her debut on the air as a regular radio feature, was brought to the United States from the Moscow Art Theater nine years ago by Morris Gest, theatrical producer.

' She has sung in operas here and played in the movies and on the stage. Miss Baclanova has just returned from London where she played six months in “Going Places.” Previous to that she appeared in New York in “Grand Hotel,” “The Cat and the Fiddle” and Earl Carroll’s “Vanities.” Her radio work to the present has been confined to guest appearances on Rudy Valee’s hour and Hammerstein's Music Hall.

“The Feast of Ortolans,” the first radio play by Maxwell Anderson, prizewinning playwright, _ is to be heard over the NBC-Blue " network at 7:30 tonight. Eighteen radio actors and actresses are to stare the honors of playing it. The play is reported to be a poetic interpretation of an episode on the eve of the French Revolution. In it Mv. Anderson , tries the experiment of not havSanders’ 05%. ing any individual protagonists nn of the action but of letting the entire cast appear as a single group protagonist. The point of this device, according to Mr. Anderson, is to fuse the entire group emotionally and intellectually.

The one-act drama takes place at the dinner table of a French noble where writers, ‘artists and intellectuals are assembled. They discuss the possibility of revolution and tend to dismiss it, but the brutal fact is brought within their midst.

Are UNHAPPY PEOPLE THEY HAVE HARDER PROBL EEE T0 FACE THAN HAPPY PEOPLES

IT BEGINS earlier in women, and strange to say, they continue as old persons longer than men. A young woman of 17 or 18 is from 6 to 18 months older than a young man of that age. By about 23 the young man has caught up and until past 40 they run neck and neck—in fact throughout the entire necking period. Then women age slightly more rapidly than men.

‘However, at all ages women have

greater vitality than men, as proved by the fact that notwithstanding all the strain of childbearing they outlive men nearly three years. This is still more striking when we reflect

that far more boys than girls die under 5, leaving only the extra

NO. Dr. Percival Symonds, psychologist, had a large group of students rate their happiness on a seven-point scale, running from “full of deep joy” at the top, to “gloomy, miserable” at the bottom. He then found how these feelings of happiness or unhappiness were connected with. the problems each one had— problems of sex, money, health, study, recreation, personal attractiveness, etc. His conclusion is: “The happy and unhappy are remarkably alike in their problems and interests. The unhappy do not ‘have peculiar: problems but make

less satisfactory adjustments to their problems.”

” ” ” YES AND NO, but mainly no. It seems that Prince Charming has always been a bit more charming as a lover if he has had a bit of the devil in him—not too much— nothing mean or low but a bit of picturesque profanity, ability to drink—but not too much—and a few doubtful adventures with women. This much of deviltry

seems attractive in a lover-—but alas

and alack—never in a husband..

Good Radio Music

By JAMES THRASHER

They talk about the olden, golden days of song, but at least our coatemporary world can claim a voice that soars higher than any other in recent times. It belongs to Erna Sack, coloratura of the Dresden Opera, and American listeners are going to become more familiar with it.” For Miss Sack has been signed to the permanent concert company of Erno Rapee’s Sunday evening symphony programs. There have been freakish voices in music history, but Miss Sack apparently sings consistently in the register above high C. In fact, she can and has taken the C above that famous goal of most sopranos. In addition, word comes that Miss Sack is “a beautiful and glamorous blond, weighing akput 115 pounds

manner.” After which it is only fair to say that she will arrive in this country dbout the middle of October. Her American debut (except for three shortwave broadcasts from Europe) will be made on Mr. Rapee’s motor-sponsored hour soon after her arrival. The last of the concert company’s eight singers, engaged with Miss Sack, is Jussi Bjoerling, 26-year-old leading tenor of the Stockholm Royal Opera. First American release of his recordings took place within the month, and at that time a New York writer declared: ; “During the past decade European companies have advanced a regular succession of nominees for the mythical mantle of Caruso. . . . Scrupulously avoiding any comparative reference to Caruso, it can be safely said that this latest (Mr. Bjoerling) is the most promising of the lot.” The Swedish singer will be the last of the elght singers to report

for duty. He is to arrive in midNovember, and the series opening broadcast is Oct. 3. The other singers in the group, besides Miss Sack, are Maria Jeritza, Grace Moore, Helen Jepson, Richard Tauber, Joseph Schmidt and Donald Dickson. : #8 8

The CBS-WFBM “Story of Song” program tomorrow will offer Fritz Lechner, baritone, as its guest artist. Mr. Lechner is to devote the half hour to Schumann’s “Dichterliebe” cycle. The broadcast is scheduled for 1:30 p. m. ! » » ” One of Joseph Suk’s early works, the Quartet in G Minor for piano and strings, will be played by the Madison Ensemble at 12:30 p. m.

tomorrow on NBC Blue network] |}

stations. Suk.was Dvorak’s pupil and son-in-law, and a member of the Bohemian String Quartet, famous in the Nineties. 8g #2 ° William Pelz, represented on Thursday's WPA Music Project broadcast as a composer, will take the role of transcriber on tomorrow’s broadcast, when his arrangements of “Swanee River” and “Love’s Old Sweet Song” will be heard. Mr. Pelz is Indiana’s WPA Music director, William Greuling is to direct the WPA Concert Orchestra on WIRE at 3:30 p. m.

Robert Fechner, CCC director, is to be guest speaker on the National Radio Forum to be heard tonight at 7:30 over the NBC-Blue network. Mr. Fechner will review the record and forecast the future of the CCC which is to open a new enlistment period gn Oct. 1.

The experiment is bound to be interesting as are all of Mr. Anderson’s works. If you have forgotten, . he is the author of “Both Your Houses,” “Winterset” and “High Tor” among many other successful and distinguished plays. He is cur= rently reported to be working on.a play called “The Star Wagon,” which is intended for production on Broadway this coming season.

James Sinclair, the fabulous financier who is conspiring with Gracie Allen to stage weekly “theater mights” at all his banks, will vevisit the Burns and Allen program to be heard tonight at 6 over NBC-WIRE. Gracie is trying to make the alleged billionaire grow wings so he can become the “angel” of her new extravaganza, “Miss Gracie Goes to Town.” Sinclair will offer to finance Gracie’s play, it is reported, if she will promise to put on one performance each week in the safety deposit vault of his bank. Ray Noble and orchestra and Tony Martin will furnish the music. i ® 2 = Jerome Kern’s music is to be featured on the concert program to be heard over NBC-WIRE at 6:30 tonight.
