ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial

Beethoven was pitted against
Strauss last night for the favor
of a radio audience extending over
the eastern part of the country.
Compositions of the two famous
composers made up the eighth Of
series OF educational concerts by
the New York Philharmonic So
ciety, ''the Oldest orchestral society
in America and the second Oldest
in the world" as we were told last
night
While Strauss is said to be more
involved in. his compositions than
Beethoven, no one would think SO
who listened to the concert last
night. To us Strauss seemed to
have much the simpler melody and
his part of the concert last night
was certainly better adapted to
radio broadcasting than the work
from This great master.

Miss Gertrude Kreiselman. pianist
If the Franklin Square Hotel Coffee
Shoppe gave US something entirely
new last night during the La Java
program when she set three lyrics
to music, on the spot.
Three short lyrics entitled. In
the Candlelight," Every Day" and
Love Came When I Met You"
were submitted by guests at La
Java. Miss Kresiselman's first in
PRODUCTION to the lyrics was when
they were read to the radio audi
ence over the microphone. She
listened to the announcements and
Immediately composed choruses for
the verses.
It was an exhibition Of sheer
talent which almost took our breath
away. And 1t was something we
have never before heard over the
radio. Before the La Java program
was completed, many additional
lyrics had been telephoned in, and
Miss Kreiselman intends to use
them in future programs.
Many other good features were
broadcast during the dance inter-
missions at La Java. last night.
