"KING OF JO" TO STAR IN NEW SHOW Watching Dr. Da foe
siztaimatame.,..uL.:u.,:<eaU%...àeataaen Puzzlement, reflection, perception and enjoyment describe the
reactions of the famous Dr. Allan Roy Dafoel when he was faced with an interviewer and candid cameraman on a recent visit to Columbia's New York studios. Making his yearly pre-holiday trip to the metropolis, the "docteur," as the Quins refer to him, attended the theater, night clubs, testimonial dinners and did some Christmas shopping. He returned to the small town of Callender, Ont., to resume his Monday, Wednesday and Friday broadcasts from his own study, heard over the WABC-Columbia network, including WKRC. WHAS and WHIO, at 4:45 p. m.. (E.S.T.)
Lux Director
Cecile B De-
Mille, .long known for his di-rection of such
spectacular mov-ing pictures as "Ten Command-
ments," "Th, King of Kings and "The Sign of the Cross,'" has rapidly be-come one of the outst anding ra-
dio directors and master of cere-monies because

of his superb direction of the Lux Radio Theater. This program is broadcast over the CBS network, in-cluding WKRC, WHAS and WHIO, Mondays, at 9:30 p. in. (EST.).
Father And Son Have First Meeting
On Ripley's Show Robert L. Ripley will ptesent the
Reverend Chester Hill, and his father,
Clark C. Hill, who after a thirty-year
,earch have seen each other for the
first time, as his featured guests on
the "Believe It Or Not" program,
Saturday, December 1 I th, at 8:00 p.
m. (E.S.T.), over the NBC-Red net-
work, including WLW. The unique manner in which Fate
contrived to prevent this father and son from seeing one another until more than 30 years after the child's birth, and the strange way in which a popular American custom was in-strumental in reuniting them, will be revealed on the Ripley presentation
Replaces "Music From Hollywood"
December 31 "The King of Jazz;' the world-
renowned Paul Whiteman, will re-
turn to the CBS network, including
WKRC, WHM:. and WHIO, on Fri-
day, Deceml 11, for an extended
series of popular music programs
which' will be heard every Friday
night from 8:30 to 9:00 p. m.
(E.S.T.). The series will be under
the sponsorship of Liggett and Myers
Tobacco Company, makers of Ches-
terfield Cigarettes-, and will replace
the sponsor's present series featuring
Alice Faye's songs and Hal Kemp's Orchestra.
In addition to the inimitable music provided by this orchestra of 26 stellar instrumentalists, America's foremost popular musical leader also will bring to the CBS airlanes each Friday a dif-ferent star from stage and screen, many of whom Whiteman himself started on the road to fame as mem-bers of his musical entemble.
In the words of Whiteman, the
series will be "popular programs, de-voted to tune favorites old and new, but I hope to introduce many of the works of contemporary composers, with the emphasis, of course, on new American composing talent." Whiteman, known variously as "The
King of Jazz" and `The Dean of American Popular Music," has been in the foreground of this country's musical scene since the earliest days of the vital American rhythmic force known as jazz.
It was he who is conceded to have brought jazz to the attention of serious musicians and who inspired George Gershwin to write that jazz classic, "Rhapsody in Blue," which Whiteman gave its premiere in Aeolian Hall in New York in 1923, a highlight in the history of American music in the popular vein. Moreover, Whiteman has discovered more stars of the radio, screen and musical fields than any other orchestra leader in the world.
Fireside Recital Sigurd Nilssen, bass, will sing the
old English .air, "Western Wind," and Bailey's "Gaily the Troubadour" to open the Fireside Recital on Sun-day, December 12, at 7:30 p. m. (E.S.T.), over the Ne-Red Net-work. He also will offer Woodman's "Old Winter Comes." Helen Mar-shall, soprano, will sing "It Must Be a Wond'rous Thing," by Ries, and "Trees." Vladimir Padwa will be at the piano.
'Makers Exchange
Eleanor Howe, who conducts the Homemakers Exchange pro-gram, broadcast over the NBC network, including WSAI and WSM, Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30 a. m. (E.S.T.), estimates that she'll travel 100,000 miles during the coming year. Miss Howe lives in Chicago,
but makes her broadcasts in New York's Radio City by fly-ing to New York before her Tuesday broadcast and return-ing to Chicago just after her Thursday program.
Bampton Guests For Kostelanetz
Rose Bampton, noted American so-
prano, will be Andre Kostelanetz's
guest in his regular Wednesday broad-
cast over the CBS network, including
WKRC, WHAS and WHIO, Decem-ber 15, from 9:00 to 9:30 p. m. (E.S.T.).
Miss Bampton, a pupil of Queena Mario, is a native of Cleveland. Her early studies were undertaken at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and she began her career with the Chau-tauqua Opera Association and the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company.
She has been soloist with Stokow-ski, with the Bethlehem Bach Festival, the Oratorio Society of New York, the Ann Albor Festival and the Cleve-land Orchestra, and has Ippeared ex-tensively in radio symphony hours. She made her , Metropolitan Opera debut in 1932 singing Laura in "La Gioconda." Deems Taylor will give the com-
mentaries on the program, which is to include orchestral digests of musical masterpieces directed by Kostelanetz.
Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt To Visit Kate Smith 6
Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and Kate Smith will
converse with all the nation listening
in as the feature of the "Kate Smith
Hour" over the CBS network, includ-
ing WKRC, WHAS and WHIO,
Thursday, December 9, from 8:00 to
9:00 p. m. (E.S.T.).
The appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt
on the "Kate Smith Hour" marks a distinct departure in production of
radio variety shows. She will be the
first of many outstanding personalities
drawn from the world at large to
talk in intimate interview fashion with the "First Lady of Song," ac-cording to Ted Collins, producer of the program.
Mrs. Roosevelt will be asked ques-tions often pondered upon by her legion of admirers, but seldom an-swered. The world, Miss Smith be-lieves, is greatly interested in learn-ing such things as why the President's wife takes a certain taxi above all others on leaving a New York theatre and how she maintains the tremend-ous drive necessary to handle her many diversified interests.
"Carol Kennedy"
Gretchen Davidson keeps young and beautiful these days by hopping from the CBS stu-dios where she plays the lead in "Carol Kennedy's Romance" broadcast over that network, in-cluding WHAS and WHIO, Mondays through Fridays at 11:15 a. m. (E.S.T.), to Broad-way, where she may be seen in "Many Mansions."

"Romeo and Juliet." The final niimber will be Symphony

Rodzinski has become known as an authoritative interpreter as well as a champion of this young composer. It was he who introduced Shostako-vitch's controversial opera, "Lady Macbeth of Mzensk," to Cleveland, New York and Philadelphia audiences
a few seasons ago. PROGRAM

Charlie Dameron
Charles Dameron, one of ra-dio's most popular crooners, is teaching thousands of boye and girls to sing in his new "Char-lie's Singing School" program over WLW at 5:45 p. m., (E.S.T.) Monday through Fri-day. Supported by the Novelty Aces—two girl sand three boys, Charlie explains rhythm, har-mony and melody in his daily programs.
New Announcer
James A. McCulla III, who gave up a career in medicine to become a radio announcer, is one of the latest additions to the WLW and WSAI staff. While attending the State University of Iowa, he took a job announc-ing over WSO-KRNT in 1935. Coming to Cincinnati he joined the Crosley stations in Septem-ber, this year, and already is be-ing groomed as one of the WSAI chief news reporters. He is heard with Charles Woods at 10:30 p. in., (E.S.T.) daily ex-cept Sunday, and frequently is called on to present other news-casts.
Christmas Songs Featured On Air
By Conservatory A group of Christmas songs by
Richard Trunk will be presented by
Hubert Kockritz, baritone, accompa-
nied at the piano by Miriam Otto,
as a feature of the Cincinnati Con-
servatory of Music program over the
CBS network, including WKRC and
WHAS, Saturday, December 11, from 10:00 a. m. to 12:90 noon (E.S.T.). A quartet composed of Helen
Thacker and Jean Grubbs, violins;
Victor Rice, 'cello, and Kathryn Fell, piano, is to open the broadcast with Corelli's Concerto Grosso, No. 3 in C minor, while a sextet made up of the above-mentioned violinists to-gether with Charles Moeller and Sari Jr., and Kathleen Wiltse, 'celli, will bring the program to a close with the Sextet No. 2, Opus 7, in B minor, of R. Gliere. Kockritz and Miss Otto are members of the Conservatory fac-
ulty. Other performers are advanced students.
Buy, Martini, To Star In Leading
Roles Of Onera Vina Bovy, Belgian coloratura so-
prano, and Nino Martini, ' tenor of
opera, screen and radio, will sing the
leading roles in Verdi's "La Traviata,"
when they make their initial Metro-
politan Opera appearance of the sea-
son on Saturday afternoon, December
11, at 2:00 o'clock (E.S.T.) when the
program is broadcast over the NBC
network, including WCKY and WLW.
The broadcast will feature Miss
Bovy as the fragile Violetta and Mr.
Martini as the dashing lover, Alfredo.
Miss Bovy plays the same role in
which she made her debut. Mr. Mar-
tini made his Metropolitan debut in
1933 after a full preparatory career
that began in the choir of the Cathe-
dral of San Fermo in Italy.
The opera to be broadcast, based on
the famous play by Alexandre Dumas,
fils, "La Dame Aux Camelias," is one
of the most popular in operatic rep-
ertory. It concerns the redemption of
Violetta, known in the stage version
as Camille, through the love of young
Alfredo Germoni. Violetta leaves the
frivolous life of the Paris demi monde
and goes to live with Alfredo in idyllic seclusion.
His father, Giorgio Germont, how-
ever, finds their country home and
begs her to leave his son, declaring
that unless se does she will ruin both
Alfredo and his family. Violetta sac-
rifices her love and rejoins her old
friends in Paris.
Alfredo follows and denounces her
before her friends at a gay masqua-
rade. Heartbroken, Violetta retires to
await death of tuberculosis. Too late
does Alfredo learn of her sacrifice and
beg forgiveness; Violetta dies as the
lovers are planning a new life together.
La Traviata, one of the most dura-
ble of opera favorites, contains some
of the melodious music written by
Verdi. In the RCA broadcast will be
heard all the famous arias, including
Parigi o cara, Un di felice, Ah, fors'e
lui and the baritone song, Di Provenza
il mar.
The complete cast: Violetta Vina Bovy, soprano Flora Thelma Votipka, soprano Annina Lucielle Browning, contralto Alfredo Nino Martini, tenor Giorgio Germont...J C Thomas, baritone Gastone Angelo Bada. tenor Baron Douphol...W. Engelmann, baritone Doctor Grenvil Norman Cordon, basso Conductor Ettore Panizza Stage Director Desire Defrere Chorus Master Fausto Cleva
She Views The News
MET
Sponsored by Appliances, Inc., distributors of the Fairbanks-, Morse Conservador refrigerator, Ruth Lyons, well-known Cin-cinnati news commentator, is now being heard each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11 a. m., in a program titled "A Woman Views the News." Since her outstanding work during the Cin-cinnati flood last January, Mrs. Lyons has been considered tops as a news broadcaster. In addition to this thrice-weekly news program, she conducts the "Woman's Hour" daily except Sunday on WKRC at 8:30 a. m.
Philharmonic-Symphony To Feature All-Wagner
Broadcast December 12 An all-Richard Wagner concert
will be featured by John Barbirolli
when he conducts the New York Phil-harmonic-Symphony Orchestra, Sun-day, December 12, from 3:00 to 5:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), over the CBS net-work, including WKRC and WHAS. The program consists of the Prel-
udes to Acts I and III of "Lohen-grin"; the Overture and Bacchanale from "Tannhauser"; Siegfried's Rhine Journey from "Gotterdammerung"; the first and third act Preludes of "Tristan and Isolde," and excerpts from "Die Meistersinger." The Prelude to Act I of "Tristan"
will be played with the concert end-ing written by Wagner, a revealing
note on which is given in the com-poser's letter of December 19, 1859, to his close friend, Mathilde Wesen-donck:
"You know that Hans (von Bulow) wanted to conduct the Prelude last winter and begged me to write a concert close for it. At that time no inspiration could have come to me; it seemed so impossible that I flatly declined. Since then, however, I have written the third act and found a full close for the whole; so, while drawing up the program for a Paris concert—the particular temptation to which was my wish to get a hear-
ing of this 'Tristan' Prelude—it oc-curred to me to outline that close in advance as a glimmering presage of
redemption. Well, it has succeeded quite admirably, and today I send you this mysteriously tranquilizing close as the best gift I can make for your birthday."
Blondes For Baker Not content with being heckled by
"Bottle" and "Beetle," Phil Baker has added comely Lucille Ball to his group
of stooges, thus establishing for himself a new high in the stoog-ing business. Lucille, originally engaged to ap-pear as a guest star, so impressed the accordion-
pushing comedian
with her comely talent that he has engaged her serv-
.<•ices for an ex-tended perio d.
The Baker pro-gram is heard over the CBS network, including WKRC, WHAS and WHIO, each Sunday at 7:30 p. m. (E.S.T.)

THE BITTER WITH THE SWEET "Hollywood, Nov. 26, INS. George Jessel, comedian, with the backing
of the office of Will Hays, today urged screen studios to close their doors to `radio gossipers.' I accuse those who stand behind heavily guarded micro-phones and tear down the other fellow's product to boost their own' he said. `That's un-American and unfair. Radio gossipers are undermining the vast motion picture industry with unwarranted attacks.'"
No doubt the first reaction of those who read this news item was lively curiosity about the why of Jessel's indignation. That he has just cause for wrath scents altogether likely. Certain of the Hollywood "columns" which clutter the kilocycles specialize in airing soiled linen. At the same tinte the incident has much ironic humor.
During the past three or four years the number of network programs "created" in Hollywood has jumped from almost nothing to many hours a week. The ostensible reason for the westward trek is to obtain the services of screen stars. But listeners are beginning to wonder who benefits front the move. For many of the programs wafted from Hollywood essay far more film ballyhoo than radio entertainment.
The radio preview—simply an audible version of the screen trailer—is just one form of this ballyhoo. When a celluloid star in introduced to the radio audience, supposedly precious minutes must be wasted on plugging his current pictures, and the names of their producers and directors.
In brief, Hollywood has found radio a prime publicity medium. And in exchange for enduring all this ballyhoo the radio audience gets little first-rate entertainment.
Few of the West Coast shows gain anything by being produced in the "glamor capital." Indeed, many are just public-address bi-products of spec-tacles staged primarily for studio audiences.
All this puts a different light on the Jesse' protest. It may be true that certain of the "radio gossipers" have overstepped the bounds of sportsman-ship. If they have, that is an inevitable risk of the gante. Those who lise by publicity cannot expect that publicity to be favorable all of the time.
And when Jessel speaks of "radio gossipers undermining the vast motion picture industry" he is merely ridiculous. On the air, the real undermining
is being done by Hollywood itself, with ballyhoo that is being spread on too thick even for the suckers.
At the loudspeaker the trouble seems another case of a "yes man" com-plex. When one industry uses another so frankly for its own advantage, it will do well to tolerate a few "no men," if for no other reason to make the superlatives of the "yes men" a little more plausible.
REX DAVIS - - - SPORTSCASTER Rex Davis, sportscaster, in charge
of WCKY's afternoon Sports Review, recently asked his listeners what time of the afternoon they preferred to hear his review of races, baseball gossip, football information and the other sports news he blends into his afternoon feature.
After a few days, he sorted out his mail to make the final analysis: Great-er Cincinnati accounted for about 85 per cent of the fans, yet eleven states were represented.
Radio sponsors usually claim that it is the WOMEN who write to the stations, but in the Rex Davis mail nine out of every ten letters were from men. One man in Cincinnati wrote, "Due to ill health I have been confined to my home for some time,
and since I've always planned to write a radio fan letter, this confine-ment gives me the opportunity to tell you how much other men as well as myself must appreciate your sports news."
An insurance man in Illinois wrote that every afternoon a group of fif-teen or twenty men in his office build-ing congregate in his office to hear the racing finals. "I put a little sign on my door reading `This is Rex Davis' Branch Office' " the man wrote "and I find that, contrary to tradi-tion, some of the men who play the
ponies are darn good insurance pros-
peels." The letter concluded "You
keep up your good work and I'll keep
up the insurance business."

TEN EYCK
SCRIBBLES
Somehow or other the poor radio announcer never seems to get his just deserts as far as the great god pub-licity is concerned. The radio an-nouncer is rapidly taking his place along side the engineer with the rank-ing title of unsung hero. Poor little fellows, such delicate personalities and all that you know. It pains them greatly to see page after page of printed space devoted to glamour girls whose voices have the soft un-dulating sounds of grapes being trod-den by peasant feet during the wine making and grape crushing festival. Profiles of gallant baritones whose tonsils vibrate like a stove pipe acci-dently tapped with a stove lid lifter. Alleged comedians whose synthetic grins are really genuine grins after all when they think how much credit they get for reading something some-one else has written for them. Page after page of pictures are printed with accompanying stories showing stupified and slightly astonished indi-viduals mho have been promoted to vice-president in charge of the dog house for some radio chain or other. But no mood ever seems to creep out about the poor radio announcer.
Perhaps it's just as well because few editors are mathematicians and any given announcer equal, X which is the unknown quantity. Lits take the staff of a nice average station for instance. WSMK at Dayton, Ohio, is a good, solid, average American radio station and it's staff of an-nouncers consist of men with an aver-age experience of eight years each in the business of word spieling and the reading of commercial copy.

sense to all of them as a unit is like
trying to explain a passage from

time is like trying to explain the
fourth dimension to a Chinese coolie.
In fact you can't talk to them at all
if the faint suspicion of authority
seems to be rasping ones more tender
tones. Announcers have definitely

RADIO D' \L, WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 17. 1937 5
Among the faithful, there's a bull market in crying tossas because of
Lunt and Abner being cut from five to three shows a week. The cut demonstrates again how much pro-gram service depends on the conveni-ence of sponsors. Ltun and Abner's sponsor wanted more stations. But his appropriation wouldn't coser a
bigger network at five nights a week. So the number of shows had to be cut. This is no new experience for listeners. The same thing happened last spring to Boake Carter. Indeed, except for daytime tear-jerkers, the number of five-a-week shows has been declining steadily the past several years, lot the same. reason. Whether sponsors ought to have so much to do with what listeners can get is too in-volved a question to thresh out here and now. Lum and Abner simply demonstrate afresh that programs arc planned pretty much to suit the con-venience of sponsors.

Now that the football season is over — except for the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Ceteal Bowl, Finger Bowl, and Wash Bowl—some things might be mentioned that may be use-ful to football broadcasters next year. One is the baseball atmosphere in-jected into football by announcers who handle both sports. That shows up in such terms as "club." A col-lege football team is not a club in the baseball sense. The atmosphere of the two sports is quire different. Vet otherwise good announcers make the mistake of treating both alike. Another thing is the use of "offsides." Escn Red Barber is guilty of that. The correct form is singular. Granted, these things are trifles. But enough trifles, plus or minus, make the differ-

will be re-enacted by the original per-formers. Those front programs orig-inating elsewhere will be re-enacted by skilled impersonators. Lud Glus-kin will direct the orchestra.

Aside' to "Believe It or Not" Ripley ... this is one you can use. T'other evening a rather young gentleman rushed into Station WKRC ... demanding to see a Mr. McGregor. Seems Mr. Mc-Gregor is a bad, bad character in the Freshest Thing in Town script story. Said gent wanted to give McGregor the bum's rush and then have a talk with Johnny Law-rence (leading character in the story) about Mr. M's scheme for getting the baby in Johnny's keep-ing away from the Lawrence fam-ily. Took half the station staff to calm him down and explain to him that the situation didn't ACTUAL-LY exist. It's a true story... though it may not sound convinc-ing ...he was perfectly sober, too.

ALONG THE MILKY WAY: Glimpsed WKRC's sportster, Dick Bray, dancing in the Gibson's Florentine Room.... Dick only has eyes for that certain Clifton miss now ... she's alright, too. Word that Betty Arnold, WLW drama-tist, feeling tip-top again.... Betty keeled over during a re-hearsal recently ... rather frail, her work on the staff proved a lit-tle too much for her. Vicki Chase busy Xmas shopping ond packing ... she's going home to New York for the holidays. Spied Saturday

RADIO DI''L. WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 17, 1937 13
"Sundown Serenade" Two Concerts In
Lin Mason, tenor, is your serenader on the "Sundown Serenades" broadcast over WKRC, Monday through Satur-day at 4:30 p. m. Under the sponsorship of the Solway Fur-niture Company, "Sundown Ser-enade" in a quarter-hour pro-gram of melodies old and new. Most of the songs included on the broadcasts are requests of listeners, who list twenty-one year old Mason as one of their favorite vocalists.
Eddie's "Fill"

name, Vyola is not French-born, but a product of Southern Cali-fornia. She is 19 years old, and is the proud possessor of a two-year contract with Eddie Cantor.
Memory Of Great Stradivarius
The 200 anniversary o( the death on December 18, 1737, of Antonius Stradivarius, master craftsman of the violin, will be commemorated in a concert to be played by Adolf Busch, violinist, and Rudolf Serkin, pianist, over the NBC network, including WCKY, on Tuesday, December 14, from 9:00 to 9:30 p. m.

special attention including the privi-lege of borrowing up to and.including next week's pay before it is due to get them out of the various jams they have succeeded in becoming ac-quainted with during the past week. They look down as if from a lofty height upon other employees of the station and consider them a necessary evil and a possible polution to the unoffending atmosphere. They de-mand two hours for lunch so they may relax after nibbling at what they can afford to eat. Working more than five hours each day reminds them of Siberian prisoners in the days of the Russian salt mines.

But the insult of all insults so far as this humble personage is concerned happened today shortly after lunch. Dave Roberts, one of our announcers and known throughout the land front
studio to studio as a past master at
the art of going to sleep while stand-
ing on his feet was transferred to the
night shift where his sleeping could
be done on a more natural basis.
When he calmly strolled into my
office and in a serious matter-of-fact
way demanded a brace of blondes to
keep him company while he worked
I gave up and headed for the nearest
bar to keep from committing hani
han. I am now busily searching for blondes. After all Mr. Roberts has
spoken and we cannot afford to lose
a good announcer. Besides he owns
me twelve bucks.
Here is Santa Claus
For the benefit of skeptics who believe only what they see, here is Santa Claus, caught by a candid camera as he was speaking from the WCKY studios. Each afternoon at 5:15 Santa Claus holds court with his juvenile admirers from the L. B. Wilson station.

ence between a master workman and a sloppy apprentice.
Winter makes the "action copy" so beloved of radio advertisers sillier than ever. Imagine a man forsaking his easychair, pipe, and slippers on a cold night to "hurry out and buy" something or other because a leather-lunged announcer tells him to

Aside from its high artistic merits, the program of the new NBC String Quartet (WCKY, Wednesday, 9 :00 p. in.) shows intelligent scheduling. Playing opposite it are Fred Allen and Eddie Cantor. In other words, the Quartet's program is made-to-order for those who don't care for radio comedy. The recognition that listeners have varying tastes in heart-ening indeed. Time was when this sport would have been filled with an-other swing band.

CBS press release: "Warnow's or-chestrations will be simpler in struc-ture and designed especially to appeal to women." Of course, of course! Radio's formula for women is "keep everything simple."

As if previous "plants" of almanac ballyhoo weren't bad enough the Lunt and Abner episode of Nov. 26 set a new high in piteous pleading for lis-tener support. It's strange that spon-sors don't realize this sort of thing has just the opposite effect from that intended. There's an old saying— and not an "Edwards"—that "noth-ing succeeds like success." That holds for radio even more than cer-tain other fields. Let listeners get the impression that a feature is on the skids, and their respect for it begins to drop. Unjust though that may be, it's only human nature. Also, this "buy or else" approach raises embar-rassing questions about programs cost-ing listeners nothing.
West Goes Radio Mac West will attempt to captivate
wooden-hearted (and headed) Char-lie McCarthy during the Chase and Sanborn Hour with Nelson Eddy, Don Amcche, Edgar Bergen, Dorothy Lamour and Robert Armbruster's or-chestra on Sunday, December 12, at 8:00 p. m. (E.S.T.) over the NBC network, including WLW and WSM. Charlie boasts a long list of conquests but, as he whispered to his side-kick, "It looks bad, Bergen; yes, it looks bad.-
Schmeling - Thomas Bout Aired By NBC
The Max Schmeling-Al Thomas boxing match will be broadcast over the NBC network, including WLS, Friday, December 17, at 10:00 p. m. (E.S.T.). Max Schmeling, former world's
heavyweight champion, is boxing Al Thomas as a warmup for his return bout with Joe Louis, scheduled some time in May, 1938. This is one in the series of fight broadcasts by NBC. Sam Taub, veteran boxing announcer, will broadcast the fight.
"Carefree Carnival" A variety show of music and dra-
matizations is the new "Carefree Car-nival" over WSAI, 4:00 to 4:30 p. m. (E.S.T.), Sundays. With Douglas Browning as master
of ceremonies and members of the WSAI dramatic staff participating, the program offers a half hour of light entertainment with transcribed music featuring some of the country's leading bands and soloists.

CONTE ,, by The Cóñt
Although we have never met James Toppin, editor of Contest News in Toledo, we do know a one word de-scription of him—helpful or encour-aging. It comes about this way.
Shortly after he became connected with the NEWS, he began to use some of their space to tell about people who had overcome obstacles and won final success. People liked it and now half the back page is used in this way each month. Where Walter Alderman in •Nug-
gets does the same thing in a briefer way, James Toppin gives the whole story. Of course he is unable to list as many different stories as does Mr. Alderman, nevertheless, to know more
of the complete story makes one feel closer to the one they are reading about.
All along we have felt that readers liked to know of those who have,
through thir own ingenuity or per-

severance, been able to pull through tight places in life and come out vic-torious. Our hat is off to Mr. Top-pin for incorporating this feature in his publication.
In contests as well as any other pursuit, whether vocational or avoca-tional, it is the most natural thing in the world to strike a "snag" or feel
that it is useless to continue. When one reaches this point there is noth-ing more helpful or encouraging than to know that others in similiar cir-cumstances have finally won out. The American Magazine has built up a wonderful following and circulation on that idea alone. Away out on the West Coast, Gil-
son Willets tells of something that happened almost at our front door— although we hadn't heard it. He says: "The most commendable act on the
part of any radio station since con-tests took hold of public fancy was re-
cently reported from Station WWVA from Wheeling, W. Va. When a sponsor refused to carry through with a promised prize contest and award an automobile, the station itself fin-ished off the contest, bought the car and awarded it to the winner, as
promised. Three cheers for the man-agement of WWVA." Same here. And speaking of radio contests, it is
just about the hardest thing in the
world to remember all the things the announcer said about what it takes to get in, etc. It is his sincere desire to make it as simple and brief as possi-ble, but nevertheless, it lacks some-thing that printed rules are able to
give. • In this connection Mr. Wets of-
fers a suggestion that is a honey, but only few people would be able to take advantage of it. He suggests to

There is a big contest sponsor in the West whose plan somehow does not click with us. Prizes are offeted for simple efforts on the part of the contestant, but afterwards a siege of "subscribe and increase your chances" begins. We have never heard the slightest complaint on their judging, or anything to even indicate that only those that subscribed won the prizes. In fact it is one of the oldest contest sponsors in the country, but just the same we always felt it better to tell the whole story at first. •
As radio listeners know, the friend-ship between W. C. Fields- and Char-lie McCarthy always seemed a little strained. Charlie felt himself to rate along with the best of men, whereas, Mr. Fields on more than one Occa-sion cast aspersions on his family "tree." sensitive as Charlie was to such terms as "Termite's Flophouse," "little post hole sitter" and such, he I eh it could not be allowed to con-tinue and thus possibly lower his rep-utation. Do something he did. Through Screen Book Magazine a fine radio was offered for the best name to take the place of "dummy." Henry M. Birdwell of Chicago won the radio by suggesting that hereafter the Inimi-table Charlie be known simply as

Radio Dial,
Dear Editor:
I read in your last issue the offer of a prize for the best suggestion of a title for a "listener's" column which you are planning to publish. I may not win a prize, or even get this letter published
by you, but I have a few things I would like to say about Radio Dial.
It is a good paper, and has been as long as I have sub-scribed to it. But there are several changes which I would like to see made. The Êrst would be to re-insert your woman's page. I believe there are many of your reader's who followed your page of recipes and general household news, with much attention.
The second change I would make would be to print more local news. Your readers are in a short radius of Cincin-nati, and listen almost 100 per cent to local programmes. I do not think that so many pictures are necessary.
Sincerely yours,
MRS, LLOYD JACKSON.
(Editor's Note:—To the person suggesting the best title for this listener's exchange, Radio Dial will award $3.00. The contest closes on December 20, 1937, the winners to be announced in the issue ending December 31, 1937. It is NOT necessary to write a letter in order to win the prize. BUT if you care to, the editor would like to hear what you have to say about Radio Dial.)

Masini, Italian Tenor Guest On
Ford Concert Calliano Masini, Italian tenor, who

Ford Symphony orchestra, Sunday, December 12, at 9:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), when that program is broadcast over the CBS network ; including WKRC, WHAS and WHIO.
Mr. Masini, recently the leading tenor of La Scala in Milan, made his

at La Scala.

"Contented Hour" Presents Kurenko
Maria Kurenko, whose rich, velvety soprano is internationally famous through her performances in opera, radio, concert stage and recordings,
will appear as guest artist on the Carnation "Contented Hour," Mon-day, December 13, broadcast over
the NBC network, including WSAI and WSM, at 10:00 p. m. (E.S.T.). Mme. Kurenko, who has just re-
turned from a successful concert tour of the West Indies, will be heard in two selections, "Les Filles du Cadiz" ("Maids of Cadiz") by Leo Delibes, and that perennial favorite, "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise"
by Ernest Seitz. She will be accom-
panied by the Carnation concert or-
chestra directed by Dr. Frank Black.
The program opens with the or-
chestra playing Coates' brilliant opus,
"Knightsbridge" from his "London
Suite." Later the orchestra repeats
the lilting rhumba, "Para Vigo Me
Voy," which it introduced a few
weeks ago.
The Continentals have chosen the
currently popular "Roses in Decem-
ber," by Magidsohn, for Its offering,
while Opal Craven, the Lullaby
Lady, goes back to yesteryear for her
hymn of slumber. She will sing Mol-
ly's "Love's Old Sweet Song."
The concert ends will a special ar-
rangement of song hits from Rogers
and Hart successes, including "I Must
Love You," "Blue Room," "Girl
Friend" and "Then My Heart Stood
Still," orchestra and vocal ensemble

ble French composers as Ravel, Goun-od, Flegier, Debussy, Thomas, Mas-senet, Saint-Saens, Meyerbeer and
Bizet will be featured.
Richard Tauber will, as he has done in Europe, exchange the role of singer for that of conductor when he concludes the program as guest baton-
ist for Rapee. John B. Kennedy will again voice
the weekly commentary on the "Pa-rade of Scientific Pt-ogress" in the concert intermission period.

Bowe To Make Opera Debut On
"Met" Auditions • Morton Bowe, an established radio
tenor, will be one of the three audi-
boners on the "Metropolitan Audi-tions of the Air" program, broadcast over the NBC network, including WCKY, WLS and WSM, Sunday,
December 12, at 5:00 p. m. (E.S.T.).
The two other singers who are
making their bid for national fame are Jean Merrill, dramatic soprano, a granddaughter of a symphony con-
ductoi, and Earl Lippy, bat itone. Ed-ward Johnson will again act as master of ceremonies and Wilfred Pelletier will conduct the orchestra.
Morton Bowe gained success as a tenor after serving as choir boy, lino-ty pe operator, sculptor, carpenter,
electrician and photographer. His
main problem, at present, is whether to give up his radio work for a Euro-
pean concert tour. This problem will probably be solved when he makes
his appearance on the "Met" pro-gram.

Court Of Human Relations
A jury of four men and two women, selected from the audience for the "Court of Human Relations" program over WLW, 6:30 to 7 p. m., (E.S.T.) December 5, was split in its opinion as to whether Miss Isabelle HaIlin, former school teacher in Sau-gus, Mass., should have been dismissed. A. L. Alexander, who formerly conducted ra-dio's "Good Will Court," in-
augurated a new policy in the "Court of Human Relations" broad-casts over the Nation's Station, by calling on six members of the studio audience to serve as a studio jury in Miss Hallin's case.
The story of how she was charged with serving cocktails to high school pupils and summarily dismissed by the school board was dramatized, with Miss HaIlin taking her own role. Pictured above are members of the jury, left to right, Louis Noll, police-man; Charles Doherty, teacher; Jack Thornquest, salesman; Nora Beck Thuman. vocalist; Alfred Freeland, clerk; Sally Thompson, telephone operator, and Mr. Alexander. Below, Miss Hallin emphatically denied the charges brought against her to Mr. Alexander just before the program went on the air.
Negro Singer On Swing Session

the CBS network, including WKRC, WHAS and WHIO, Saturday, De-cember 11, from 7 :00 to 7:30 p. m. ( E.S.T.).
Leith Stevens will take time off from the stage of Loew's State Thea-tre, where the Swing Session will be appearing all week, to dii ect the or-chestra in its fine arrangements of old and new swing favorites.
Leeds, Fairbanks, Jr., Co-Star In "Theater" Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., whose last
screen appearance was in "The Pris-
oner of Zenda" as the dashing, sin-ister "Prince Hentzau," and Andrea Leeds, charming, brunette film star, will make a guest appearance on the "Silver Theater" program, Sunday, December l 2, over the CBS network, including WKRC, WHAS and WHIO, from 5:00 to 5:30 p. m. (EST.).

ture to Wagner's "Flying Dutchman"
to open the broadcasi. This will be

opera, "Benvenuto Cellini," will be
the concluding selection.
