There may have been but no one can name him. Even the mighty Barnum and the great Ziegfeld made mistakes and plenty of them. Hem:e when a sponsor announces is going to give the public what he wants, it 1s & pretty sure sign that sald sponsor hasn't been long in the radio show business. The wise sponsor combines his experience and the experience of others with a whole lot of luck—and sometimes he has a program that the public really likes. ‘Which brings us to a heated argu- ment that is constantly going on backstage in radio. What sort of mu- sic does, the public really want. Some radio producers play safe and their programs feature the “homey” tunes of Stephen Foster and like composers. Others go conservatively highbrow with Wagner, Beethoven, Liszt, et al. —nnd that's playing very, very safe! This Winter, however, we're likely hear some really revolutionary mu:lc Not only the modern com- positions of Stravinski, Debussy, Ravel and others, but the ultra mod- ern works of composers whose names baffle both my spelling and pronun- ciation. The sponsors of that Sunday night at 8 symphony concert—an N. B. C. offering—may do quite a bit of pioneering in testing public tastes. The very fact that Ivor Stravinski will be a guest conductor on the series is evidence of a broad outlook on the part of the sponsors. Perhaps there will be some real musical adventures on the air this season—and, naturally, a few mis- adventures. e OME people have all the luck . o . and most of it bad. ‘Take the case of Vera Brod- sky, & very clever and talented pian- ist You probably heard her with her partner, Harold Triggs, on that Sunday night symphony concert a few weeks ago. Miss Brodsky had been ill for two weeks before the con- cert, but insisted on playing. The night of the broadcast her fever ran above 102, but she played and played well. Next day came pneumonia and she only passed the crisis a little over a week ago. ‘The girl has had a jinx after her for a long time. Last year when she and Triggs played Radio City Music Hall, a bad case of grippe almost turned into pneumonia. A few years back, scheduled to play with the Roth Quartet in Paris, she missed a train and had to take a plane through one of the worst storms of the season in order to keep her date with the Roths.
