Tune-In Bulletin for May 30, June 6, 13 and 20! May 30: It's Memorial Day, and I«t's hope the weather is fine . . . Three important sports events claim your attention . . . the automobile race at the Indianapolis Speedway, a 500-mile classic, on all networks . . . the Suburban Handicap from Belmont Park, on NBC and Mutual . . . and the Dovet Stakes from Delaware Park, on Mutual at 4:00 . . . Something unusual in Memorial Day programs is scheduled by Mutual — a Navy broadcast, services and exercises from U.S.S. Tacoma, anchored in Lake Erie. June 6: The National Open Golf Championship play is on CBS exclusively, with Ted Husing describing what goes on for you. June 13: From Delaware Park Mutual brings you the Delaware Oaks Stakes, horse race. June 20: The summer music season is on, and CBS broadcasts the first Lewisohn Stadium concert, with Artur Rodzinski conducting. ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Musical Americana, on NBC-Blue at 8:00 P.M., E.D.S.T. (rebroadcast to the West Coast at 7:30, P.S.T.), starring Raymond Paige and an orchestra of 100 musicians, a 24-voice choir. Deems Taylor, and a guest soloist — and sponsored by Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. Quite a program. The idea at first was to have the orchestra and soloists play nothing but music by American composers, but it has been relaxed a little since then. Now and then an orchestral work by a foreign composer creeps in, and the soloists are allowed to play music by people of any nationality. But one cardinal principle is always held to: Musical Americana mustn't get high-brow. Musical Americana comes to you from the city of Pittsburgh, which is unusual for a network program. The reason, of course, is that Pittsburgh is the home city of the sponsors. Syria Mosque, where the concerts originate, holds about 4,000 people, and it's jammed every Thursday. Raymond Paige and Deems Taylor commute to Pittsburgh from New York every Tuesday night, arriving Wednesday morning for two days of intensive rehearsing, and announcer Milton Cross follows twenty-four hours later. The musicians in the orchestra — the largest used on any sponsored program — are all Pittsburgh men, mostly taken from the ranks of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Paige is a cheerful, round-faced man who Is known in radio for his good humor and lack of temperament as well as for his ability. He lives in an apartment in a fashionable part of New York City with his wife, Mary York, a talented soprano whom he married in 1932. He loves to sail, and owns an eight-meter sloop, the "Prelude" (wouldn't you know he was a musician?) with which he has cleaned up Pacific Coast championships in that class. The sloop just arrived in the East, on the deck of a tanker, so Ray can use it this summer. Ray says he isn't eccentric — but he wanted to be on aviator as a boy, and now that he's grown up has never once been in a plane. And he wears a hat only when it snows. Deems Taylor, the distinguished composer and music critic, who comments on the music and reads the weekly stanza of "Where Else but Here?" the epic poem which is a feature of the show, doesn't look at all like a musician. He's spore, small, and alert, with sharp features and a twinkle in his eye. As you know if you've ever heard him, he doesn't object to using slang if slang gets his meaning across better than a five-syllable word. The guest soloists are all students from America's most famous music schools. When they're notified that they've been chosen to play on Musical Americana they submit a list of numbers they'd like to do, and Paige selects the one or two that fit in best with the rest of his program. SAY HELLO TO . . . CARLTON E. MORSE — the author of One Man's Family and I Love a Mystery (the latter being on NBC-Red at 8:30 tonight). For several years after Carlton graduated from the University of California he worked on newspapers up and down the Pacific Coast. While he was a columnist in San Francisco he met and married Mrs. Morse, who is small, blonde and witty. Soon after their marriage, newspapers began to get the habit of going out of business and leaving Morse jobless, so he dropped reporting for radio writing. He is credited with having done a great deal to bring radio drama to its present importance. 50 RADIO AND TELEVISIOJJ MCIRROR
