along with Muriel Dickson, Victor
Arden's Orchestra and the Cavaliers
quartet. All Of the principals in the
coming shows-in which must be in
cluded the November return date of
the New York Philharmonic Symphony
Orchestra since it has become one of
the most popular of the Sunday C. B.
s. airings-are now well enough known
on the air that dialers may take them
or let them alone as personal tastes
dictate without lot of experimental
dialing. That's also true Of Johnny
Johnson's Orchestra which returns to-
day to the Music and American
Youth" series which switches from the
the blue to the red network of N. B. C.
this series for airing at 1890 am.
Neither will there be anything in the
least experimental about that Cape

on the N. B. C. blue network November
IS for regular hearings Sunday, 3:15
pm.
In these sea stories, of which moth
ing has been heard for almost two
years, Alfred Swenson will again have
the leading role, and traditions of the
show are further preserved by the
fact that Burr Cook is penning the
new series after the fashion he did

Comedian Phil Cook.
THE new shows are further due to
include commercial series for
Josef Stopak's Orchestra, with Mario
Cozzi doing the vocals after a Sum-
mer Of sustainers at N. B. c. Frank
Parker is due to step back into the
network picture November via the
Paul Whiteman show. And so it goes.
II you want to know how the network
audiences are faring this season
about all you have to do is take a
look at the record as written by old
time favorites. And taking a look at
that record, the dialer may well give
thanks for several things which ap-
pear there-including the departure
of the Saturday Chateau" show
| from the well-worn movie star guest
formula, If only because it may be a
step in the right direction. for the
reason that it may lend other shows
the courage to 60 and do likewise.
Among the comedy shows the new
est addition is a speedy bill revolving
about Walter O'Keefe and pretty well
calculated to please all the customers
simply because it manages to include
a little bit of everything-including
dash of that newest radio craze,
the community sing formula. Another
microphone formula, which seems to
be enjoying almost universal adop-
tion. Is being tried out on Irwin S,
Cobb's new show, which, along with
the O'Keefe bill, is heard on the
N. B. c. red network these Saturday
nights. The sponsors of Humorist
Cobb evidently believe in calling in
not only the best, but the largest
possible east-even If that does mean
cutting down the time of each per-
former until the dialer hears very
little from any of the talented aggre-
CATION assembled for the occasion
This dialer's vote would 60 for more
wordage from Mr.. Coob and more
music from that Hall johnson Choir
for q while-saving some dates later
in the season to bear down on the
talents of the rest Of the cast.
THE radio record of the season thus

Ripley and Stoopnagle and Budc
stepping out as capably as ever, which
is just about good enough for any,
