James Melton, Radio Singer, Is New Breaker of Hearts in Hollywood Move over Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and Dick Powell—make room for James Melton. Long one of radio’s most popular tenors and leading man of the Beauty Box theatre on NBC networks, Melton is being hailed as the screen “find” of the year by the New York motion picture critics who reviewed his first starring Picture, “Stars Over Broadway.” “The femme fans henceforth are going to divvy their attentions among Gable, Tone, Montgomery, Marshall, March, and James Mel- ton.” .... “Headed for Stardom” . . . “A’ new screen lover who sings like nobody’s business”... . “Radio celebrity sings his way to film success” .. .« “Melton has a vivid colorful voice with an ap- pealing picture personality.” These were some of the pleasant things written about the screen debut of the handsome young tenor. In “Stars Over Broadway,” which also was presented on the air at a recent Beauty Box the- atre broadcast, Melton plays the role of a singing porter who is made a night club celebrity by a hard-boiled manager, seeking to capitalize on his talent. Wine and women bring a speedy end to his night club career, but the man- ager relents and sends him abroad for a real musical education and @ new career. :30—Lights Out. 12:00—Silent.

NBC has brought its listeners fact- ual reports, such as the results of the Saar Plebiscite and the British Gen- eral election; conflicting viewpoints on vital questions, such as Italy’s statement of its case against Ethiopia, by Mussolini, and Ethiopia’s statement of its case against Italy, by Emperor Haile Selassie, and comment on is- sues and situation by noted observ- ers. Vice President John F. Royal, in charge of programs, spent six weeks in Europe during the summer arrang- ing with radio and government of- ficials for a still further expansion of NBC's international program service, programs to Europe as well as from, as foreign listeners are demanding more and more programs of the types developed by NBC in America, Travelled Continuously NBC's regular representatives abroad, Fred Bate in London and Max Jordan in Basle, travelled continuous- ly by plane, rail and air, from the frozen stretches of Scandinavia and| the U. S. S. R. to the scorched des- erts of Africa, spotting and arrang- ing programs of interest in America, often in spite of obstacles that Euro- peans called insuperable. They have shown a startled Europe that Amer- ica’s spirit of pioneering still is alive, and Europe has followed their lead. During the first 10 months of 1935, 229 programs from abroad were heard over NBC networks. Every continent, almost every country, contributed at least one broadcast. | Some of the outstanding programs have been: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Menen appealing to the world for help against Italy. Rome: The “mobilization” speech of Mussolini to the Italian nation as a warning to the world that all Italy was backing its campaign in Africa. Marconi speaking on the war. Eritrea: Talks by Floyd Gibbons,| noted correspondent, on the progress of Italy’s campaign, and by Count Galeazzo Ciano, son-in-law of Mi solini and leader of the “Desperata air squadron, Amsterdam: throne address. Rome: A message from Pope Pius to the Eucharistic Congress in the United States. London, Paris, Brussels: Speeches on international problems by Sir Jo- siah Stamp ond other famous men, in the Herald-Tribune Forum. Geneva: Reports on the European situation in the Italo-Bthiopian crisis by noted newspaper correspondents and other observers. Results of the Saar plebiscite. London: Discussion of Britain’s pol- icy toward India by Stanley Baldwin and Winston Churchill. Berlin: Summary of Hitler's speech Queen Wilhelmina's MARGARET SPEAKS A BUSY TRAVELLER evening. PE RMN ET TEST Hit Parade Star ] Se eee rai )ETHOPIAMITALIAN | ‘| Yes, the Cap’n Lost Loretta Lee, blues singer pictured here, is featured with the Hit Parade program each Saturday PAN MAIL DIVERGENT Charles Gaylord of, Penthouse Serenade Places Radio Au- dience in Eight Groups - ‘Chicago, Dec. 14—What kind of fan mail does a dance maestro re- ceive? , Charles Gaylord, musical director of the Perithouse Serenade, over an NBC-KFYR network each Sunday at 4p. m. (CST), says his majl falls into the following classifications: Fan mail from— (1) People who know someone by your name and think perhaps you are a long-lost school-mate; (2) “Orchestra, hounds” who com- ment with ® connoisseur’s enthusiasm and technical detail upon your selec- tion of instruments, type of band and arrangements; (3) Young ladies (and ladies who mention no age) who are flatteringly eager to receive a picture; @) Men who want you to play a sentimental tune to win back a lost love or to refresh a pleasant memory; (5) Clubs and societies which want entire programs dedicated to affairs they’re holding; MAESTRO DISCOVERS \So. Methodist-Stanford Rose Bow! Grid Game Will Be Broadcsat by NBC The Rose Bowl football battle between the undefeated and un- tied Mustangs of Southern Meth- odist and the Stanford Indians, beaten once by a kick-after-goal early in the season, will be broad- cast over an NBC-KFYR coast- to-coast network from Pasadena, Calif., on New Year's day, Wed- nesday, Jan. 1, 1936, from 3:45 to 6:45 p.m. (CST). ‘This will be the 10th successive broadcast of a Rose Bowl con- test over NBC. Southern Methodist, champion of the southwest, is the first team ever picked from west of the Mis- Mi sissippi to represent the east in the Rose Bowl game, Stanford is representing the west for the third successive time. ‘The rose parade, feature of the annual festival of roses at Pasa- dena, will be described before the game over an NBC-KFYR net- work from noon to 12:30 p, m. (CST). WO nrwsceen Kent Wal Tbe RADIO NEW TONE REALISM Ash-Blonde Soprano Crosses Continent Four Times Each Month for Programs A soprano star of the air is one; thing but a winged soprano is some- thing else again and Margaret Speaks, prima donna, is both. At the present rate Miss Speaks is piling up an air mileage of 12,000 miles a month, which certainly should give her a record of some kind or other by the time 1936 gets under way. This is how it comes about. There are three singing stars on the pro- grams heard Mondays at 7:30 p. m., (CST), over an NBC-KFYR network. One of these is Richard Crooks, whose concert and Metropolitan Opera en- gagements make it necessary for him to broadcast from NBO studios in New York. The other masculine star is Nelson Eddy, now in Hollywood making a screen version of “Rosé Marie.” Crooks and Eddy alternate on the program but Miss Speaks ap- pears with both of them. Her present schedule calls for two plane trips to Hollywood and back each month, After Eddy’s picture is completed, he will make a trans-continental con- eert tour, Every other Monday the ash blonde soprano will fly out to meet him—wherever he is. When Eddy gets closersto New York, Wil- liam Daly and his entire symphonic string orchestra will join Miss Speaks tion of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Union of South Af- rica. Buenos Aires: Americas. Many Others Interesting Other interesting broadcasts brought from abroad by NBC during the last year have been the Salzburg Music Festival from Germany, operas and concerts from the world’s important music centers, native music from the Fiji Islands and Hawali, King George's Jubilee ceremonies in Eng- land, the Scandinavian Music Festi- val, gypsy music from Budapest, and the folk songs of Iceland. One of the outstanding programs of the year was “Youth Sings Across the Borders,” the most extensive broadcast ever on the air, in which 31 nations were linked. NBC also brought its listeners the grumblings of Mt. Vesuvius, direct from the crater; British and Davis Cup tennis championships from Wimble- don; a description of the famous Saint Bernard Hospice high in the Swiss Alps; a celebration of the Fourth of July in Japan; fashion talks from Paris by noted experts; Conference of the to the Reichstag announcing Ger- many’s decision to rearm and de- manding the return of her former col- onies. Vienna: Chancellor Schuschnigg on Austria’s foreign policy. Capetown, South Africa: Celebra-I Armistice Day ceremonies in Paris; launching ceremonies of the giant French liner, Normandie; the Schmel- ing-Hamas prize fight in Hamburg, and the celebration of Paderewski’s 50th anniversary as @ conductor and composer in Warsaw. .
