( une-.n Bulletin for November 30, December 7, 14 and 21 ! November 30: The football season is almost over, but there's a good game for you to hear today — Army vs. Navy at Philadelphia, on all networks. . . . Arturo Toscanini conducts his second concert of the season over NBC-Blue at 10:00 tonight. . . . Or if the Toscanini brand of music is a little too high-brow for you, listen to Marion Claire and Igor Gorin singing in "Countess Maritza" over Mutual at the same time. December 7: Bill Stern describes the Notre Dame vs. Southern California football game over NBC. ... At 1:55 this afternoon the Metropolitan Opera starts a sixteen-week broadcast season on NBC. And it's sponsored this year, too, by the Texaco people. December 14: Will Hudson and his orchestra open at the Syracuse Hotel in Syracuse, broadcasting over NBC. December 21: Listen to Nila Mack's Christmas play on the Let's Pretend program over CBS at 12:30 this afternoon. It's called "House of the World." . . . Dick Jurgens and his orchestra start a new engagement at the Aragon Ballroom tonight. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Arturo Toscanini, conducting the NBC Symphony orchestra over NBC-Blue at 10:00, E.S.T. There will be a good many thousand dollars' worth of furs and jewels on display in Radio City's big eighth-floor studio tonight. A Toscanini concert is still one of New York's big social occasions, although this is the peppery little genius's fourth season conducting the NBC orchestra. As a matter of fact, the plain people who listen at home on their radios get a great deal more of Toscanini's artistry than do the people in the studio audience. Studio 8-G is fine for broadcasting, but it's terrible to sit in and listen to music. Unless you're sitting in a small area right in the center of the studio, you can't possibly hear the same full, rich tone your radio brings you. So don't feel too envious of the people who are there in person. There aren't many stories in circulation now about Toscanini's famous musician's temperament. He doesn't often fly into a rage any more, and the reason is that he's happier than he's been for a long time. He likes his orchestra and he likes NBC, which lets him pick what men he wants to play for him, and whatever music he wants to play — and also carefully keeps him from being bothered by reporters and flashlight photographers. The big event in Toscanini's life during the last year, of course, was his trip with the NBC Orchestra to South America. They tell a story about something that happened on that trip. On the Fourth of July it happened that no concert was scheduled, and the musicians thought, it being a national holiday, they could have a nice day off and spend it enjoying themselves in Buenos Aires. There was a good deal of disappointment when Toscanini called a rehearsal for that day. The musicians gathered in the theater, grumbling a little, and then Toscanini stepped up and said, "Men, you are American citizens traveling in a foreign land. This is your national American holiday. I think we should celebrate it in an appropriate manner." Then he conducted the orchestra in playing "The Star Spangled Banner" and declared the "rehearsal" over. The only cloud on the South American tour was the death in Rio de Janeiro of Jacques Tuchinsky, a viola player, who was killed in a traffic accident. The orchestra had played its last concert, so Toscanini was not told of the accident until a day or so before the ship docked in New York. He was so saddened that he shut himself in his cabin for the rest of the voyage and refused to see anyone when the ship docked. Toscanini has bought a home in Riverdale, near New York, and will certainly spend the rest of his life in this country, though he hasn't yet become a citizen. 44 SAY HELLO TO . . . MARION CLAIRE — soprano star of the Chicago Theater of the Air, on Mutual tonight at 10:00. Chicago is Marion's hometown, and she returns to it for these broadcasts after a glamorous career in opera and movies. She was a child violinist when she was ten. playing with symphony orchestras. Later, applying her talents to singing, she went to Milan, Italy, to study, and made her debut there in 1926. Once she appeared at a command performance before the Crown Prince of Italy. In America, she's sung with the Chicago Civic Opera Company, and in the movies you saw her as Bobby Breen's mother in "Make a Wish." RADIO AND TELEVISION IVIIRROR
