Lombardo Spends Half Hour Balancing His Orchestra Before Each Broadcast New York, July 6—Guy Lom- bardo, famous NBO maestro, is as incongruous as a painter who cannot trust his eyes. He's a dance band leader who cannot trust his ears! ‘The young conductor does most of his conducting not on the podium but on a seat next the control room engineers. While balancing his orchestra prepara- tory to his weekly Wednesday broadcast over an NBC-KFYR network at 8 p. m. (CST), Guy sits in the control room with his eyes glued to the volume indica- tor meter. Though the tone and quality of the music may sound dandy to his ears, Guy spends at least @ half hour before each broad- cast balancing each instrument in the band. Each instrument must register between 10 and 15 points on the meter. He then takes instruments in sections— duos and trios—balancing them the same way. Guy shifts his men closer or further from the microphone un- til the ensemble is perfectly bal- anced. With this maneuvering done, the band registers about a 30 degrees “kick” and the con- trol room engineers have little to worry about. This is the tech- nical secret behind Guy’s simple and soothing rhythms. Once the band is balanced the boys have to stay in position for fear of upsetting the delicate adjust- ment. The Lombardo orchestra is heard each Wednesday. 00—Meredith Willson and Orch. 30—Kay Foster —Ben Klassen, Tenor 00—Martha Mears 15—Stubby Gordon Orch.

BY STOKES, WEYANT IN DIGGING OUT HITS In Addition to Personal Re- source, Group Has Library Yellow With Age SPECIALIZE IN SPIRITUALS Quartet Uses Only Those Songs Which Have Not Died of “Sudden Shock’ New York, July 6.—“If character songs were allowed to grow old and die gracefully, they would come back to life again every third generation. fresh and good as now.” Ken Christie, director and arrang- er of Captain Henry’s Show Boat Four, heard each Thursday at 7 p. m. (CST) over an NBC-KFYR network, subscribes to that belief, and that is why followers of this program often are treated to some lush melody which starts America to’ wondering where it came from. Connoisseur of io |@4. radio programs.” mellow old ballads, Christie uses only those that: have not died of what he calls “sudden shock.” Digging Up Songs “But the supply of such music is all too small,” Christie complains. “People simply do not let a song die gracefully. If it is good they kill tt with over-popularity. Within three months, and sometimes six, it be- comes deader than yesterday's weath- er report.” Though the job of digging up good character songs is a tough one for Christie, he manages to uncork the forgotten and unpublished old timers with surprising regularity becouse, perhaps, he has the resources—a library of by-gone music yellowed with age, and Leonard Stokes, his baritone, and “Tubby” tenor. Expert on Spirituals Stokes, according to Christie, knows all the Negro spirituals—published and unpublished. Having spent the greater part of his life in Georgia. where he heard the darkies sing their songs in the original, Stokes claims he could supply the Show Boat Four with a new song each week for a year. “Another of my rich sources,” says Christie, “is Tubby Weyant, whose father had the rare presence of mind almost 50 years ago to save a collection of wheezy old cylindrical gramaphone records. That’s where we got such songs as ‘I've Just Got Bacck from New York Town,’ ‘On My Journey Now’ and ‘Heaven Bound Soldier’.” Christie brings out his share of songs from his old library which is so yellow and old that the sheets sometimes crack in his hand. Lanny Ross Program Bound to Be Popular If unsolicited awards are any cri- terion of a radio performer’s worth, the forthcoming “Lanny Ross and His State Fair Concert” program bids well to be a show of dial-head- liners. Filling the time to be made available by Jack Benny's vacation, the new program will be heard Sun- day evenings on the NBC blue net- work from 5 to 5:30 (CST) for seven weeks. Lanny Ross, star tenor, Howard Barlow, orchestra conductor, and Helen Oelheim, contralto of Captain Henry’s Show Boat, will be the out- standing performers. All three have been honored recently by individual awards from different sources. Last week Lanny won second place among popular radio stars in a na- tion-wide poll conducted by Radio Guide, Two months ago, Director Barlow, @ quiete and unassuming man, was chosen by @ committee representing ten million American clubwomen as the “leading influence in two merit- Miss Oelheim, who has been a member of Captain Henry's enter- tainment troupe for the last two years, recently entered the coveted 7:30 to 8:30 p. m.

HAS PLOT CRISIS Will Occur in Broadcast of Ser- jal July 10, According to Author Berg lot crisis will occur in Gert- rude Berg’s “House of Glass” serial July 10. As the story threads have slowly woven together, the little| m. Catskill Mountains hotel has become the scene of a strong love-story. It centers about Millie Miller, the little waitress, who took her job so her daughter, Tiny, could be in the country. Millie was the wife of Carl Miller, a young playwright, whose yaa annulled the mar- riage. Unaware that a “House Glass” waitress is her former daughter-in-law, the elder Mrs. Mil- Her son, Carl, is injured in a motor acci- dent en_route. Mrs. Berg, who writes her own script as well as plays the leading role, says that her plot has unfolded almost without her guidance. The characters write it. lence she says that the exciting twist coming at the end of the next episode also is not her doing. It simply is the cul- mination of a series of dramatic events which have grown out of Millie’s love story. Mrs. Berg -will continue to play Bessie Glass, with Joseph Green- wald as Barney Glass. Lea Pen- man, stage actress, will play Mrs. Miller. Others in the cast include Paul Stewart, as Whitey; Bertha Walden, as Katie, the cook; Arline Blackburn, as Millie; Celia Bab. bock, as Tiny; Everett Sloane, as Lester Leslie; Bonnie (Betty Boop) Poe, as Dottie Martin; George To- bias, as Hasha Shubin, and Helene Dumas, as Ella Mudge.
