WHAT'S ON T H K AIR Fa '.:o 49 =<TathoUccHour rpi HE Cathedral Studio of the NaX tional Broadcasting Company resounds each Sunday evening with the same chants and melodies that have echoed for ages through the cathedrals of the Old World. The Gregorian Chants and the centuries-old ritualistic music of the Catholic faith are mingled with the modern sacred compositions. Members of the Paulist Choir, a vocal organization that has been compared to an orchestra, interpret the music. The program is the Catholic Hour, presented under the sponsorship of the National Council of Catholic Men for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the Catholic Church and its doctrines, and to foster more friendly relations among the several religious groups in the United States. Each week some leader in the Catholic Church delivers the principal address in the program, speaking briefly. Music, however, predominates in the program. The Paulist Choristers, celebrated Catholic choir under the direction of Father William J. Finn, are heard regularly every Sunday, Mr. Johnson, president National Council Catholic Men; Cardinal Hayes, of New York; Bishop Schrembs, of Cleveland, and Father Burke. except during the summer months. Beginning June 15, a new musical unit — the Medievalists, an octet composed of well-known and experienced vocalists — will succeed the Paulist Choristers, who retire for the summer months. The personnel of the Medievalists is as follows: Misses Pauline Cushman, soprano; Anna Laurie, soprano; Hazel Arth, contralto, and Alma Stoll, contralto; John Finnegan, tenor; Fred G. Rover, tenor; Henry Marcoux, baritone, and H. Overton Moyle, basso. Walter Donovan is accompanist. This group of singers was organized some seasons ago with a view to developing in America a small unit of accomplished vocalists to promote the kind of singing made popular by "The English Singers." Compositions by Bach, Frescobaldi, as well as all the classical gems of liturgy, are drawn upon to supply the music heard in the program. In dedicating the Catholic Hour, Patrick Cardinal Hayes said: "This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. The purpose of the National Catholic Hour is not to attack, triumph or boast; not to attack, nor to blame, but to serve. And in the measure that it serves, and only in that measure, will it succeed." The Catholic Hour is broadcast from 6 to 7 o'clock, E. D. T., every Sunday evening through an NBC-WEAF network, which includes several Canadian stations. A East. Daylight Saving 11 to 11 : 30 P.M.
