Years ago, when a world-famous
Individual was known to US only
through the pages of history or
literature, how we talked about it

Now with radio. with miraculous
frequency we are able to hear the
voices of celebrities; to have them
tell us In their own words about the
accomplishment that has reaped for
them their laurels. Yet do we
think much of it? Not bit. We
tune in casually. listen to the
speaker or the artist and, having
passed a few comments at the close
of the program, tune in something
else with complete disregard for
what has just taken place.
Not that we should spend the
evening in awe over the fact that
another person, not unlike our
selves, has come before the public
ear. but it is impressive to note
how times have changed.

One of the recent additions to
VOL entertainment is the play

Mack. Gardner Mack, you will re-
call, is well-known figure in
Washington. Aside from his ex-
perience in the capacity of dra.
matte critic, he is affectionately re-
membered as the predecessor of

torio and radio work, will be the
g, guest-soloist with the Fada Or

Among the best bets on the chain
programs outside of those already
mentioned are the Clicquot Club
Eskimos' program Of light jazz at
10 o'clock. AND the Eveready Hour
at 9 o'clock, dedicated to Thomas A.

of music from pianologues and
vocal recitals to more augmented
