W. Pheao Malo 15M*1M7 THE WASHINGTON TIMUS ECONOMISTWILL LECTURE BY RADIO Prof. Irving Fisher, of Tale, one of the world’s greatest authorltioa on economics la to make his radio debut this evening at 6 o’clock through WRC and a nation-wide chain of broadcasting stations to begin a aeries of short talks on his favorite study that will translate its mysteries to the so-called “man in tho street.’’ Prof. Fisher’s purpose in using radio as a medium of discussing his branch of science is to strip it of its mystery and to show living room listeners of what great importance economics Is in their daily lives and their habits of living. ' Otherwise tho two special pros pects for loud speakers this eve* ning are tho Navy Band concert which WMAL win broadcast at 7:30 and a production of ’’Pagliacci ’ in-English by the United Opera Company for the Columbia chain. There will, of course be the two regular Monday Evening programs of WRC which always rank the best on the air—the A. and P. Gypsies and the General Motors endeavor. Also this evening the “Cabin Door” endeavor of Bill Cook will return to living rooms for half an hour. . “PAGLIACCI” IN ENGLISH FROM WOR The Naw Band has not taken us into its confidence regarding this evening’s urogram—to be broad cast frpm the Capitol plaza by .WMAL. But knowing Lieut. Charles Benter and his men. it is safe to tune the affair for an enjoyable evening. The “Pagliaccl’’ enter prise we believe will be tuned beat from WOR or KWOX and will be rather interesting because it is done in English. We’re not among those who would advocate singing opera in any language but that of the composer and librettist, for the rea son that both were thinking- in terms of their own native hahits of speech when they, developed the music and its word—hence a foreign tongue does not fit the music and cannot be made to do so. How ever. it will be Interesting for lis teners to hear English words for "Pagliacci,” because the story is one of the most melodramatic in opera tic literature—and it is very seldom heard save in Italian. Helen Kane, another Broadway musical comedy star, will be guest artist in the O’Cedar performance beginning at 7 from WRC—after the usual half hour of Roxy. The Gypsies have another most varied program that starts at 7:30 and presents Justin Lawrie, tenor, again as soloist —although there may be a substitution tonight because Lawrie was used as emergency artist last week. The General Motors affair will have to do with the gold rush to California*in 1849. Listeners interested in the Knights Templar conclave happening in De troit may tune the band concerts incident thereto at 6:30 from WJR. Representative Emanuel Celler, of New York, appears at 6:35 on the WNYC proram with a talk on Alexander Hamilton and at 10 Colby Harriman will talk about the French theater from WMAL.
