THREE ARTISTS
ADVERTISE PIANO
For the benefit OF those extra
drys who won't even take grand
opera that stars a stimulant, there
will be an extra fancy collection OF
musical stars at WIZ at o'clock
engaged in the task OF advertising
| the merits of well-known piano
only one OF whom will do any piano
playing, however. These are John
Corigliano, violinist; Norma Drury !,
pianist; Paolo Grippe, 'cellist, and
Tom Morgan, baritone.
The program they will present
will be as pretentious as the grand
opera-in some parts considerably
more so.
Corigliano will be remembered gs
the young American violinlst who
played two Atwater Kent concerts
earlier in the season, for radio, and
innumerable concerts with SYM
rhony orchestras and at recitals.
Miss Drury is equally well known
as a pianist, though without q
radio reputation as yet. Tom Nor.
gan IL one OF the coming vocalistB
of the New York light opera type
and Grippe played the cello with
the ToIlefsen Trio last year-which
says quite lot for him.
The Navy Band will entertain
from the United States Capitol
Plaza at o'clock at the beginning
of the evenings radio activities.
There will also be q Goldman Band
concert at 1880 from WEAF, n
nature talk from p. s. Ridsdals.
