Highlights For Sunday, Oct. 24 W OU devotees of the Sunday-af ter■*■ noon Philharmonic concerts can lean back in your easy-chairs with satisfied sighs today. . . . Because the august New York Philharmonic Association begins a new — and a longer — season this afternoon at its old time, 3:00 P.M., E.S.T. . . . For twenty-eight Sundays CBS will bring you this great orchestral music. . . . John Barbirolli, brilliant young Englishman, conducts all but four or five of the broadcast concerts. . . . And Deems Taylor resumes his post as commentator. . . . The same Mr. Taylor who is the only man your Almanac knows of who can make chatter about music sound entertaining as well as instructive. . . . Opposite the Philharmonic, on NBC-Red from 3:00 to 3:30, is the premiere of a new weekly show: The Radio News Reel, conducted by Parks Johnson and Wallace Butterworth. . . . Consists of interviews with people who are prominent, at the moment, in the headlines. . . . Rosalind Russell and James Stewart are in the last instalment of their four-instalment series, First Love, in the S/7ver Theater, CBS at 5:00. . . . The two big evening symphonic hours go their dignified ways . . . General Motors at 8:00 on NBC-Blue, with Grace Moore, and the Ford Hour, CBS at 9:00, with Lorre Lehmann. ... If you like sopranos, you're in luck. . . . The Singing Lady's play, MBS at 5:00, is a dramatization of "The Sleeping Beauty." Grace Moore makes one of several appearances on the General Motors concert. Highlights For Sunday, Oct. 31 Blonde Erna Sack, favorite European soprano, stars on the General Motors show <2ENOR JOSE ITU RBI directs the Ford Symphony for the last time tonight at 9:00 o'clock. . . . His guest star is Bidu Sayao, Brazilian soprano who's being kept pretty busy these days warbling for programs which want dependable one-appearance warblers. . . . The other symphony program, General Motors, NBC-Blue at 8:00, has scheduled a "Continental Opera Night," starring Erna Sack and Joseph Schmidt. . . . Miss Sack, a ravishing blonde, is the only person except Jenny Lind that's ever been able to hit C above high C. ... If you don't think that's hard to do, try it yourself sometime . . . and watch the neighbors come running with shotguns. . . . America's hearing Miss Sack for the first time this year, but she's one of Europe's most adored sopranos. . . . After all that classical music, there's still more of the same for you to listen to if you still want it. . . . Alexander Smallens and an orchestra on NBC-Red at 10:00. . . . This show replaces the late Sunday Night Party. ... A very, very different kind of music is that peddled by Benny Goodman, who returns tonight to the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York, where he was such a socko success last year. . . . Listen in to Benny, during the months to come, via both CBS and MBS. . . . The Singing Lady's play on MBS this afternoon at 5:00 is "The Magic Fishbone", written by Charles Dickens, who'd probably be writing for radio if he were alive today. Highlights For Sunday, Nov. 7 ^pHE day's guests: Grace Moore and Joseph Schmidt on the General Motors program, NBC-Blue at 8:00. . . . Erno Rapee conducting as usual. . . . And the sponsors have labeled tonight's entertainment "Puccini Night." . . . Violinist Jascha Heiletz on the Ford program, 9:00 on CBS. . . . Eugene Ormandy conducts his first concert of the season on this program tonight, too. . . . Will go on waving the baton at the same time every week until December 26. ... Ormandy is a former moviehouse fiddler. . . . The theater was Major Bowes' Capitol in New York. . . . And Ormandy's age at the time twenty-one. . . . The regular Capitol conductor fell ill one day and Ormandy, who'd never even touched a baton in his life before, stepped in to pinch-hit for him . . . conducted a whole symphonic movement without a score. . . . He's now one of the country's foremost conductors . . . and not yet in his forties. . . . Today's Singing Lady show is "Martha" by Von Flotow. . . . Hope you haven't been missing a few newcomers to the Sunday airwaves. . . . Lloyd Pantages, movie gossiper, on CBS at 2:30. . . . Romantic Rhythms, with Seymour Simon's orchestra, Sally Nelson, Barry McKinley, and Basil Ruysdale, CBS at 6:30. . . . Interesting Neighbors, with Jerry Belcher, NBC-Red at 7:45. . . .

November 14: With no little pride, the Silver Theater this afternoon presents Errol Flynn, starring in a half-hour romantic drama. . . . Errol, besides being one of the most spectacular and interesting of Hollywood denizens, is the husband of actress Lily Damita. . . . As you ought to know, even if you don't. . . . He has an incurable wanderlust, likes to write, and last spring broke into the headlines when he was reported killed in Madrid. . . . What was he doing in Madrid? . . . Just having a look at the Spanish civil war. . . . Denies rumors that he and other movie star friends are collecting funds to aid the Spanish government forces. NOVEMBER 21: Did you know that "Henry Hunter," whom you hear tonight as Irene Rich's leading man . . . NBC-Blue at 9:45 ... is none other than Arthur Jacobson, one of Chicago's busiest radio actors a year or so ago? . . . You remember him as the leading man in The Story of Mary Martin. . . . He's under contract to Universal Pictures now, and they're the ones who changed his name. . . . Once more, Grace Moore is on the General Motors hour tonight, after a week's vacation. . . . The Ford program has Betty Jaynes, phenomenal young soprano. . . . And the listening highlight of the month comes this afternoon at 5:00, E.S.T. , on the CBS Silver Theater — lovely Madeleine Carroll in a one-act original radio play. 44
