AGAIN I answer a loud “No” to this question, which comes in every morning’s mail. Harry Dexter Kitson in his fine book, “I Find My Vocation,” shows that no one is born to fit exactly into any one of the 20,000 occupations now existing. The qualities that make one a success in one job are the same in hundreds of other jobs. You fit somehat better into some general field and, when you find that, the main thing is to get tremendously interested in your one particular job by learning about it.

much more favorably than we do the opposite sex, even if we be in love with one particular member of

the other sex. He finds each sex sees qualities in its own side of the house and believes the opposite sex not only has less of these qualities but is “easily despairing of old ideas” and are “bad observers.” Well, that's what one fellow found out. I wonder what the next investigator will find.

BOBBIE BURNS prayed that we might see ourselves “as ithers see us,” and a German psychologist, Dr. Annelies Argelander, finds (in Character and Personality) we do see ourselves just about as

our friends see us. He finds that

those who see us differently from the way we see ourselves are looking through ‘“prejudice-tinted spectacles,” and are not our friends. Sometimes the spectacles of our friends may be clouded with the nearblindness of affection but, on the whole, I think they size us up better than do our enemies.

It has been several years since local playgoers have had an oppor=tunity to see Miss Anglin, but she may be remembered for her performances in “Cyrano de Bergerac,” “Camille,” “Mrs. Dane’s Defense” and “Joan of Are,” as well as in many Shakespearean plays. Lucille Browing, Howard Price, Barry Wood and Abe Lyman and his orchestra are the other members of the cast tonight.

The other night Ed Wynn sat in his dressing room after a perform=ance of “Hooray For What” and chinned the hours away with a group of Broadway columnists, among them Alton Cook of the New York World-Telegram. Someone asked him if he was ever going to return to radio. Whereupon Wynn promptly exploded. He made it plain that that was one thing he would never do again. He won't come out and simply howl joke after joke into the “mike.” “If someone comes to me with an idea for a radio character,” he said, “T'll take them up on it—that is, if it’s good. Why, I'll even go out and look for a radio job if that happens.”

Burgess Meredith, the current fair-haired boy of Broadway and recently elected president of Actors’ Equity, will be heard with Paul Whiteman tonight at 7:30 o'clock over OBS-WFBM, singing one of his own songs. As far as anything is known of Meredith, this will be his debut as both a composer and a vocalist. But then, it has been said, there's one song in everybody. The young actor currently is the male lead in the Maxwell Anderson hit, “Star Wagon.” You saw him as Mio in the motion picture production of “Winterset.” 8 » 2 A description of a championship ctki meet will be broadcast tomor= row at 3:30 p. m. over WENR when Hal Totten takes up his station at the judges’ stand, halfway down the world’s largest entirely artificial slide, at the Central United States Ski Championship Meet in Soldier Field, Chicago.

If you've been following the fortunes of the new Irish government since their “declaration of independence” several weeks ago, you will be interested perhaps to hear a special broadcast from Dublin tonight at 8:15 p. m. over NBC-Blue. The program is to be the third in the new “They're Saying in England” series with Howard Marshall, British journalist and commentator, as the speaker.

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER

That miraculous proof that “life begins at 40” and continues thereafter, in other words, Verdi's “Otello,” will be heard in full on the radio for the first time tomorrow during the Metropolitan Opera matinee per-

formance (NBC-WIRE at 1 p. m.) ®

Verdi was past 73 when the opera was produced—16 years after “Aida” —and “Falstaff” was still to come in the venerable composer's 80th vear! Not only were these efforts little short of miraculous for a man of Verdi's years, but they. represent the peak of his accomplishm e n ts. “Otello” is separated from the composer's first opera by a span of 48 years, and those 48 years represent an almost continuous growth in refinement, subtlety , and artistry of Mme. Rethberg orchestration and musical characterization. Arrigo Boito wrote the libretti for both these last Shakespearean works, and in this Verdi was par-

sung by Elisabeth Rethberg,

ticularly fortunate. For Boito, being a gifted composer as well as writer, knew how to adapt his words to music and the stage, which many a greater writer has been unable to do. “Otello” was last heard at the Metropolitan in 1913, so tomorrow’s performance will be a real ‘revival” It has been done once before this season, however, and met with an enthusiastic response. The Otello and Iago of the tragedy will be sung by Giovanni Martinelli and Lawrence Tibbett., Both gained familiarity with the roles during the past summer, when they did them in highly successful productions at London's Covent Garden and at the Paris Opera. Tomorrow's Desdemona will be and the Cassio will be Nicholas Massue. Ettore Panizza will conduct.

A Concerto Grosso is a composttion for several solo instruments and orchestra, but there aren't any

rules forbidding one man from playing all these instruments if he is able. Consequently Saul Goodman, tympanist of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, will do the solo parts of Schreiner’s Con=certo Grosso for percussion instruments and orchestra all by himself when the orchestra broadcasts its fourth children’s concert tomorrow, It's not surprising that this work has become known by the less formal but more descriptive title of “The Worried Drummer.” For the soloist must perform on the tyms pani, snare drum, bass drum, tam=tam, glockenspiel, xylophone, tam=bourine, bells, castenets, Turkish and Chinese cymbals and, doubt= less, a vacuum sweeper in E flat. There will be another, and more conventional soloist on this 00« minute program which Rudolph Ganz will conduct on the CBS net« work at 10 a. m. That will be Emma Boynet, the French pianist, who is to be heard in the Hugarian Fantasy by Liszt. The program also includes Webe er's “Abu Hassan” Overture; the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tschaikowsky and “A Victory Ball” by Ernest Schelling, the children’s series regu« lar conductor, who is unable to ap« pear this season because of illness, And in honor of Lincoln's birthday, the audience will sing “America the Beautiful.”
