Radio Gossip
And Studio
-Chatter
By STANLEY BIGELOW
The ancient clock that for
many years intoned the advent
of a new year for George Wash
ington, will send its melodious
chimes over an N.BC. network
New Year Day
The striking of the historic
timepiece at noon Friday will
inaugurate the national bicen
tennlal celebration of the Father
of His Country s birth. Gover
nor Pollard oft Virginia will pre
side at • the ceremonies, which
will be held in the Mary Wash
ington House, on the Washing
ton Kenrfiore estate.
Kate Objects
The other dav we printed Wai
ter Damrosch's comment on the
need for better music. Now
along comes Kate Smith, whose
*<»>**««
eagle eye seems to read every
thing the newspapers print about
radio, and objects to Mr. Dam
rosch’s remarks. Says Kate:
“Far be it from me to at
tempt to' match my knowledge
of music with that of Walter
Damrosch, but I have ideas on
the subject. I think he under
estimates the value of popular
music. I believe there is pleas
ure in the popular song for
more people than m the classi
cal number —and what are we
on earth for? Enjoyment, that's
all. The vogue of classical
music will always be with us,
but so will be that of the
popular ditty. Let’s havfr both,
in moderation.”
What do the readers think?
Why Not?
If the editor had any influence
with the program managers—
which he has not!-—he would
make the following suggestions
for 1932:
More of Julia Sanderson’s
giggle.
Rubinoff on the air every
night.
A more evenly apportioned
ballyhoo for radio entertainers.
More good comedy of the
original sort. •
/" * '
Juuia
Fewer torch singers and darn
few sopranos.
More novel broadcasts, based
on the day’s news, originating
outside the studios. '
Less advertising hokum and no
contests/in commercial programs
Enough male crooners to
supply one for each love-sick
maiden who adores the stock we
have on hand now.
Dots and Dashes
“Successes oi 1931’ will be
staged by the Northern Dramatic
Company over WOL Thursday at
B:3o...Peter Dixon’s “Raising
Junior” is among the few N. B. C.
programs without music... Col
onel Stoopnagle and Bud have
hired a “sandwich man” to convey
their New Year greetings to the
world.
