HISTORIC TRIALS 10 BE BROADCAST WRC Will Carry First of Se- ries, Dealing With Soc- rates, Tonight. Famous trials of history whose out- come swayed the destiny of nations will be re-created in a series of broadcasts, “Historic Trials,” to be introduced to- night over WRC and associated Na- tional Broadeasting Co. stations. The series ‘ens with the trial of Socrates, father of Western thought and teacher of Plato, who was condemned to drink the fatal cup of hemlock for his blasphemy in daring to challenge the existence of the pagan gods. As far as scholarly research permits, dra- matic dialogue from --tual testimony in the trial will be reproduced in this and succeeding broadcasts, with a view to making the series an interpretation of history through the medium of court trials. The trial of Socrates will be followed by those of Joan of Arc, Mfl Queen of the Scots, Sir Walter leigh and others. The new series is the work of Edward Hale Bierstadt, author and editer. Concert Bureau Hour. Another outstanding WRC attraction ‘will be the weekly Concert Bureau hour, which tonight will present a group of familiar radio stars. These include Erva Giles, soprano: Richard Maxwell, tenor; Mildred Hunt, contralto; Howard Phillips, tenor; Phil Napolean, trumpe- ter; the Piano Twins and Hugo Mari- ani’s Dance Band. Jules Brazil will act as master of ceremonies. “Buck and Wing,” the comic sketch of @ small-time vaudeville team; “Broad- way Lights,” a popular radio revue, and the Seiberling presentation are among WRC's remaining major fea- tures.

James Melton, tenor; a quartet and the sing- ing violins will be heard again in the Seiberling program.
