Conductor Phil Spitolny and his AllGirl Singing Orchestra, heard every Monday evening at 9:30 p.m. EDST. over the NBC-Red network. Before assembling these beautiful girl musicians, Spitalny directed numerous symphony theatre and radio orchestras. He claims the girls excel in love songs. FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO RADIO It is unusual for the same program to be twice given the Radio Stars Award for Distinguished Service to Radio. But once again Phil Spitalny and his All-Girl Orchestra, unquestionably, merit the honor. His organization is playing the best music of its brilliant career. The most difficult orchestrations are thoroughly mastered, and, despite any musical intricacies, the soulful Spitalny quality is never lacking. It is a delight to the ears and soul. He has labored tirelessly for perfection. No other musical organization rehearses as often or as long. Or as conscientiously. But then, what other orchestra reaches the listener's heart so effectively? Fortunately, Phil Spitalny is as much a student of human nature as he is of music. That, more than anything, is the secret of his success. It explains why he is able to train his girl musicians to play as capably as men; why his selections are always in good taste and pleasing to hear; why the girls think so highly of his talent and judgment; why they would willingly rehearse even longer if he wished. To Phil Spitalny and his All-Girl Orchestra, of the General Electric Program, Radio Stars Magazine again presents its award for Distinguished Service to Radio.
