‘'B-I12 THOMAS 70 STAR INNEW PROGRAM Noted Baritone to Open New Musical Series on N. B. C. Network. §¢ YOHN CHARLES THOMAS AND HIS NEIGHBORS” is the title of a new musical series, featuring the noted operatic star to be broadcast over an N. B.C. network each Wednesday at 8 o'clock, beginning tonight. WMAL will carry the program here. Replacing “Our Home on the Range” program, in which the baritone was depicted as a singing ranch owner, the new show will create an atmos- phere of song among the pleasant as- pects of Thomas’ rural neighbors along the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 1t was in this historical section that | 7: the famed singer spent his boyhood and his Summer home is located here. Thomas ranks as the first operatic star to be featured as the central fig- ure of a musical-dramatic serial tak- ing both the acting and singing parts. Frank Tours, end his orchestra will provide the music on the new Thomas program. while in the cast supporting Thomas will be Willie Morris, soprano; a quar- | § tet and Doc Brown. Tours, who will conduct the or- chestra, has been musical director of all Irving Berlin shows for 21 years end is one of the best known leaders on Broadway. He directs the orchestra in the musical extravaganza, “The Great Waltz,” soon to reopen at the Center Theater in Rockefeller Center. * X ¥ X TI-E deep-throated woman singer L evidently has cornered the radio market if the auditions held thus far in seven cities by the national radio open contest is any criterion. And the lyric romantic tenors are falling by the wayside in favor of bass and bari- tone singers, it is indicated. With the winning of the Los An- geles, Calif., audition by Yvonne Do- ray, contralto, the Firechief auditions set a record for a complete sweep by the contralto singers, as Washington, Petroit, Buffalo, Atlantic City-Phil- acelphia, Chicago and Denver audi- tions each were won by this type of female voice. And, with the exception of Buffalo and Los Angeles, which produced tenors, the other five cities have succumbed to the tones of bari- tone and bass-baritone voices. The national judges are beginning to feel that there is a change in radio favor toward the deeper type of voices, or else the high soprano and lyric tenors are things of the past and simply are not being developed. The search for professional and amateur singing talent proceeds through the Northwest, with winners to be selected in Portland, Seattle, ‘Tacoma, Spokane and nearby terri- tory. These winners will be trans- ported to Los Angeles, where Eddy Duchin and his orchestra continue their Cocoanut Grove engagement. * x ¥ X SQIX-GUN JUSTICE,” in a new series and at a mew time, Will | {naugurate a second group of Western thrillers with a broadcast over WJSV tonight at 8 o'clock. This feature, wtitten by Wilbur Hall and portraying in vivid authentic characterizations the picturesque life of the upland cat- tle country of California, will be heard weekly thereafter at the same time. It was formerly broadcast on Mon- days. Sp popular has “Six-Gun Justice” become that the new serles will broaden its interests and contents considerably. There will be more music from Carson Robison’s Buck- sroos and a little lighter treatment of the exciting adventures among the cowboys and cattle rustlers of the ranch country. Prominent in the cast will be Ray Collins as Jeff Ownesly, the “heavy villain”; William Johnstone as Jim Dance, the hero, and Barbara Weeks as Maureen Catheart, the pretty visi- tor from the East. Others will in- clude Tex Ritter, The Buckaroos, Carson Robison, the Mitchell Brothers snd Pear] Pickens, and Anne Elsnor as “Mrs, Pete,” one of the most pop- ular and picturesque characters in the series.
