Radio Dial
-.
BY Listner-In-

Probably hundreds of persons
heard Haydn's Creation" for the
first time in their lives last night.
Perhaps many of these had never
heard any complete oratorio before
the advent of radio.
1t would be interesting, therefore,
to know to what extent the public's
appreciation of great religious mu.
steal works has been aroused by this
impartial distributor of words and
music that we call broadcasting.
The oratorio, like death, usually
has been regarded by most of US as
something to be avoided Too heavy
has been the warning of the gen.
eral public which has received its
warning from preceding public.
Lacking the publicity and press.
agentry accorded to grand opera Il
has been impossible for oratorio
productions to draw audiences ex-
cept from the ranks Of musical stu
dents and the deeply religious.
Now along comes radio and in
particular WCAP, r. Dean Shure
and the Mt. Vernon Place Methodist
Church choir.
Into the oratorio is injected a few
thousand volts OF electrical current
and it is sent singing into nearly
every home in a/quartet Of States.
Switching off the receiving set to
avoid the oratorio is not as easy as
going to a movie instead Of to- the
church around the corner.
The listener decides to give the
oratorio a chance.
He'll see for himself, he thinks,
just how heavy this thing called
religious music is after all.
And nine times out Of ten, we
believe. he finds that he has been
the victim OF the ignorant prejudice
Of others, and that the oratorio IS
music, magnificent and full Of
meaning.
Mr. Shure has brought the Mount
Vernon Place M. e. Church chorus
to the microphone twice before, at
Christmas in Dawn in the Desert"
ard At Easter in Tho Atonement,"
10th written by. himself and Rosseil
Edward Mitchell.
Both of these productions received
the written compliments of hundreds
of listeners.
Last nights Creation" undoubtad-
~ win add greatly 20 Mr.. Shure' >
and to WCAP's file Of praising
letters. 10. -
Seven-year-old1 Jimmie Davis, son
OF Secretary of Labor Davis, male
his radio debut yesterday afternoon
as one of the speakers at the cbil-
dren's radio party for the benefit
CT the fund for the relief Of German
children.
Jimmie" spoke up like a irregular
and made a real appeal. -
1t was happy idea Of Peggy
Albion's when she planned the
unique entertainment for tho
benefit Of, the fund. And. e seems
to US, that more OF the cil:ldren's
performances from the local sta.
tions would prove Of great interest
to the city's children. And to the
grown.ups.
There was plenty of other talent
and amusement evidenced in the
afternoon program.
The scenes from 1.-Two Gentlemen
of Vernona," presented by the
pupils of the Chevy Chase Country
Day School. under the direction of
Stanwood Cobb, were unusually
we'll done. We also liked the May
festival choruses sung by the chill
dren from the Neighborhood House.

 } Dr. Dennis is an authunity upon trade relations, having returned only a few months from Europe swhere he visited every country and personally investigated existing conditions from a commercial viewpoint.
 Europe Is divided into 24 coun- tries,' said Dr. Dennis, .and each country must be considered on its own merits and economic position; There are certain countries sound but not prosperous. England, Belgium and France are prosperous but not sound :; Germany sacrificed soundness for temporary prosperity !, Sweden and Bulgaria are both sound and prosper ous.: . Greece and Turkey are neither sound nor prosperous. Re.
 '.In the United States" Dr. Dennis declared, "the general topics discussed are the radio, automobile and hooch, In Europe one great topic invariably heard is the question of repreciation of currency. A workman does not know if his weekly salary will save him from starvation for the next week. Another topic often heard is that of the unemployment situation, not that less men are employed, but the in- dustries are painfully restricted due to absence of materials
