LIST’NIN’
Bowdens Entertain
Young Ministers
By Louie Hubbard
Saturday night at 7:00. It’s
time to drop everything and turn
on the radio. Why? Because it’s
time for the CBS Swing Club, one
of the beat programs aired. At
least, that’s what we think.
The Swing Club is now in its
fourth month of its second year
and it is still going strong. One
glance at the list of s-tars prasent-
eJ on this program and you’ll
readily say that its a regular
“Who’s Who” of swing artists.
Among the "cats” they have
presented are Tommy Dorsey,
Benny Goodman, J'ack Teagarden,
Frankie Trumbauer, Duke Elling
ton, Bunny Berigan, “Fats” Wal
ler, Carl Kress, Glen Gray, Teddy
Wilson, Lionel Hampton, and
others too numerous to mention.
The Swing Club program actually
“made” such stars as Benny Beri-
gan, Casper Reardon, and the
Raymond Scott quintet. Scott has
his first airing via the Swing
Club. His fine aggregation has
been presented in Twentieth Cen-
tury-Fox’s "‘Ali Baba Goes to
Town.”
That’s enough jive but if you
really want to get knocked out,
just be on hand on Saturdays at
7 p. m.
You drama fans should get a
real boot out of:
Chase and Sanborn, Sunday 8,
NBC-R; Lux Radio Theater, Mon
day 9. CBS; Lights Out, Wednes
day 12:30 A. M., NBC-R; March
of Time. Thursday, 8:30, NBC-R:
We, the People, Thursday, 7:30
CBS; Maxwell House, Thursday, 9
NBC-R; First Nighter, Friday 10,
NBC-R; True Story Contest, Fri
day, 10-30 NBC-R.
Just as it captivated America
wher, ’j«th NBC and CBS networks
featured it recently, 3o WPTF
thinks it own “Streamlined
Shakespeare” presentations will
reach attentive ears whom they
are inagurated on Friday, Decem
ber 10. Leading members of the
famous Carolina Playmakers, who
recently gave an excellent bill of
plays at Elon, will at that time
present a condensed verjion of the
immortal Bard’s “Romeo and Ju
liet”, under the direction of How
ard Bailey. The entire radio
presentation will require only 46
minutes for producticm, but so
Kkillfully has the adapter desigm-
ed the drama that no narration is
necessary to link the various
scenes, and yet no essence of
Shakespeare’s masterpiece has
been lost. “Romeo and Juliet” is
xne of WPTF’S most elaborate
ventures in its new search for ta
lent policy.
In order to prevent interrupting
the NBC concert and to provide
listeners with one of radio’s great
est hours of music, WPTF in Ra
leigh has obtained permisison to
switch its customary sign-off hour
from 11 to 11:30 p. m. ejich Satur
day, thus assuring the complete
concert by the NBC Symphony
Orchestra, which later in De
cember will be conducted by the
■world-famous Arturo-Toscanini,
who has returned to America sole
ly for the purpose of conducting
this brief series, a signal event in
the pro^re^s of mus.ic in this na
tion.
Aside to Capillary: Oswald
comes on with Ken Murray on the
Hollywood Hotel Program on
Friday night at 9:00 on Columbia.
Thanks, “Cap”, for our first
question.
