LOUIS PRIMA FIVE. Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:00 to 9:15 P. M. E. D. S. T. Columbia network. It is called "syncopation" but it sounds like just plain noise. The laurels of Whiteman, Waring, Lombardo, et al. are safe while this New Orleans jazz band is on the air. ROSALINE GREEN— Monday through Friday, WOR-Mutual network 1 :40 P. M. E. D. S. T. A woman's hour with a crisp delivery that every woman will enjoy. Has WOR a monopoly on the best women announcers? (Martha Deane, who is a prime favorite, also appears on WOR. If you haven't heard Martha, tune in some day at 2:30 P. M. E. D. S. T. You'll like her.) News of interest to women is what Rosaline presents, and she makes every broadcast entertaining. STATE FAIR CONCERT— Sunday, 7:00 to 7:30 P. M. E. D. S. T. Blue network NBC. The successor to Jack Benny for the summer. Realizing that it would be difficult to find a comedian to fill Jack's shoes satisfactorily during his absence, the sponsor of this program — Certo — has wisely turned to music. Those who set the dials automatically at WJZ at this hour every Sunday will be well pleased with the light music offered by Lanny Ross and Howard Barlow. Taken out of the boisterous atmosphere where Lanny is usually placed on his other programs, you'll enjoy him — and of course, the orchestra is up to the usual Barlow standard. CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER— Sunday, 9:30 to 9:45 P. M. E. D. S. T. Blue network NBC. A delightful quarter hour with one of America's most popular diseuses. Her artistry will hold you spell-bound. And, praise be, the Jergens people seem to be toning down their advertising, too. It was well-handled the Sunday this program was reviewed — July 21. G-MEN. Saturday, 9:00-9:30 P. M. E. D. S. T. Red network NBC. Well, it was bound to come. The epidemic of G-Men pictures could hardly escape the attention of radio. However, this "sissy" version of the adventures of our red-blooded G-Men may be safely heard by old ladies with very weak hearts. Not very interesting or exciting. // you wish to be placed on the permanent mailing list of RADIO REVIEW, please print your name and address and mail to: WOMEN'S NATIONAL RADIO COMMITTEE 113 West 57th Street New York, N.
