not like the programs I like-and I
may not be at all interested in what
you want to hear, but If both of us
take the trouble to read the daily pro-
gram listings and to make few notes
on stations and time Of broadcasts,
both Of US will find two hours spent
beside the radio set decidedly worth
while.
You may question the apparent en-
thusiasm about only two hours of en-
tertainment. Well. that's enough. No
lished. Few people see all the plays
or movies that are produced-so why
should any one give a hoot about
hearing all the radio programs? Or
care if many of the programs are bad?
LEW people buy books without read
l. ing reviews of them or making
inquiries about them. The same
thing applies to plays and pictures.
Yet there seems to be class of people
who think radio cultural blasphemy
because of percentage of very bad
programs.
May I suggest that you obtain the
program listings of N. B. c. and c. B.
S. for a week and examine them more
than casually? You'll probably be
amazed at the great variety Of enter
tainment offered-and you'll realize
too. that at almost any hour of the
day or night. you can find something
that will interest you.
Take Sunday nights. If you don't
like the symphony concert on WMAL
there's Cantor on WJSV at the same
time. Or an opera on WRC. And if
at 9 o'clock you are bored at the
thought of popular concert there's
the Detroit Symphony for a whole
hour on WABS. Not in the mood
for Fred Allen Wednesday night?
Well. Lily Pons is singing on an
other network. Tired of the Show
boat" on Thursday night?" Then you
can hear Death Valley Days" a well
done dramatic show, or Walter
O'Keefe. supported by the Casa
Iona Orchestra. Uninterested in
Rudy Vallee's varieties the same
night? Then there's a grand little
symphony on WOR and the Mutual
network.
Perhaps radio has been made too
easy for us. Perhaps the fact that
it is apparently free makes us accept
it as matter of course. Perhaps
what is needed Is a national no radio
week. Seven days without a radio
program! And even if you did mur-

- MUST confess to growing impa-
tience with some of the most
caustic critics Of radio-especi-
ally those critics who are loud in
their declarations that there is
nothing really worth serious consider
alton on the air today. I think those
critics are either completely ignorant
Of what Is on the air-or they belong
TO that class of art-alecks who think
1t is a sign Of superintelligence to be
scornful Of radio. Scorn for radio to-
day can be taken as a definite sign Of
a narrow and uninformed mind.
Without going to the trouble OF pre-
pairing charts and statistics, it is con-
servative to state that there is at least
two hours of good entertainment on
the air every night-entertainment Of
sufficient merit to deserve the atten-
ton Of any intelligent adult. You may

WARNER BAXTER HERE IN FIRST ING ROLE
Such Women Are Danger ous Opens Engagement
 at Coliseum Theatre

If you're a man and want to icarn how to fight off the ad- yanees of three lovely damsels, by all means see Warner Baxter in Such Women Are Dangerous at the Coliseum Theatre. And if you are a woman you1l certainly want to see it to learn how best to make advances on charming bachelor novelist.
 Not that Baxter is altogether successful But his suave sophisti- cation-and who can play such role. better--serves him we'll in most dilemmas. It isn't until he gets into serious trouble that his usual defenses desert him. That leads to an unexpected climax that introduces some excellent se- rious drama into the picture. But we won't go into that too deeply lest we detract from your enjoy ment of delightful picture.
 Baxter is at his romantic best in this, his first starring vehicle. Surrounding him more or less are three lovely leading ladies: Rsse- mary Ames, Rochelle Hudson and Mona Barrie. Miss Ames is his faithful secretary who tries with scant success to protect him from the others. Rochelle is the infatu- ated debutante who tries to storm the citadel of the novelist's heart by the sheer impetuosity of her at- tack. It is she, incidentally, who gets Baxter into his most serious trouble--a murder trial, no less. And Mona Barrie exercises her more mature charms, with studied sophistication.

DIXIE LEE IS
 BACK ON LOT
 IN MOvIELAND
Wife of Bing Gro sb y l Not Playing Opposite
 Mate, However
By RoBBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. IT, Dixie Lees return to the films her first since the arrival of the famous Crosby twins five months ago-is in picture with Joe Morri- son, new crooner. Odd, you think, that Mrs. Bing Crosby should be opposite one of her husbands riv- als, if Joe can be called that?
 Not at all,' said Dixie, who is as blonde today, and as breezy and natural, as she was when she first came from the Broadway stage to Hollywood in the early talkie days.
 T can't work when Bing's around, he makes me self-conscious,' she says. q won't even let him on the set-say, if he comes, over here, l think I'll show my authority and have him thrown off Oh, no, he doesn't mind when go over and watch him, but that's different. But Crooner-that's Bing-and I will never work in the same picture."
 What--No Glory?
 Somebody told Dixie she was looking we'll Not at all as if you'd had even one child" was the com pliment. Say Dixie retorted, "don't tell me that. want to look at least a little maternal. Oh, but there's a swell cameraman on this picture. He makes me look like two other people" i
 And then Mrs. Bing Crosby made statement which, coming from a movie actress-mother, was nothing short of startling.
 T can't say that I've experience ed any great surge of glory over this motherhood-the sort of thing you read about and people talk about"
 Moreover, she confessed, or rath- CT mentioned casually, that now she is working she doesn't get to see the twins much. What-none of this rushing home to see the chil- dren, breaking away from the set, no matter what, to bill and coo with the little darlings? No, none of that. Dixie Lees working girl.
 No Contract For Her
 She is not so sure, however, how much she wants to work. Just oc- casionally, she thinks. Certainly not contract. Just as soon as I'd sign one, I'd have to work while Crooner was free, and he'd go away some place and couldn't go--and would l be sore?"
 Bing-or Crooner-tell it around that he put Dixie to work to help feed the two extra mouths in the family. That's what he told Gary Evan, IT months old, their first born, when he cried the first day Dixie went to the studio.
