WBAP; THE RADIO season is at its height with the Chicago Civic Opera hour coming over the Blue Chain each Thursday night at 9 p. m. Central time and the New York symphony on the same chain each Saturday night at 8 p. m. Eastern time. The Boston symphony will also be on the air over WBZ every Saturday night during December. The Atwater Kent artists who will appear during the Sunday 9:15 p. m. Eastern time programs of the Red Chain are: December 4, Reinald Werrenrath, baritone; December 18, Maria Kurenko, soprano, and December 25, the Christmas quartet, composed of Betsy Lane Shepherd, soprano; Elsie Baker, contralto; Arthur Hackett-Granville, tenor, and William Simmons, baritone. One of the monthly features from the Great Plains region is the tenth annual rendition of Handel's "Messiah" by the Independence Messiah choir. This organization, which is composed of 225 voices, will be directed by Paul N. Craig and broadcast by KLDS. International luncheon clubs are being featured on the Thursday night programs of WWNC. Not only are the clubs producing the best entertainment possible, but they are also trying to acquaint the Radio public with the civic creative ideas behind the various organizations. December 1, the Asheville Optimist club presents the program; December 8, the Asheville American Bs. club, and December 15, the Asheville Rotary club. Two popular light operas are being featured this month by CKCL, Toronto. On Tuesday, December 13, the popular opera, "The Merry Widow," goes on the air. On Tuesday, December 27, "The Gondoliers" will be produced. If you have missed the first four episodes of "Flying Gold," the thrilling melodrama now being played at WLW, it will not be too late to engage a front row loud speaker seat for each Monday night at 7:15 p. m. Eastern time during December. Not only is the play about aviators, but the eight actors are actual or incipient aviators. Martha Croninger, the heroine, is one of the first girls in Cincinnati to learn to fly. Even the author, Mrs. Susan H. Embry, is an aviator and owns her own plane; consequently the play is full of thrills. A race, a fight in the air, and a rescue will more than draw a crowd of earphones. Of course, all the stations will assist the old year out but none will do it more gracefully than WLS, with Chubby Parker, Ralph Emerson and Maurie Sherman's College Inn orchestra presiding. 10, time, WBZ.
