The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-22
BY NORMAN SIEGEL NEA Service Special Writer

New York, July 22-"Hamlet" will play the rollicking role of "Groucho Marx" this summer when Andre Kostelanetz reverses the traditional order of theatrical aspirations on his weekly musical program over the Columbia network.
 It has always been the conne- dian who longed for one big serious dramatic role before rounding out his career with the same wheezes which he used on his first appear ance. But, through his music, Kos- telanetz is going to make clown out of the tragedian. He expects to brighten up the otherwise dull sum mer months on the air waves with new brand of humorous music.
 July, August and September find the stock comedy names of radio retiring from the microphone in preparation for @ fresh gag assault in October. Light music Is given the free run of the kilocycles. And now Kostey, as he's known to the boys behind the music stands, will make " blAbiAO Ho WOtA tAo aAbAiV'
 Music can and should be made more human," Kostey told us at lunch the other noon. "The way to make 1t more human Is to make 1t more humorous"
 The first salute in his campaign to furnish e musical laugh was fired June 30 when he had his band air that old favorite, "Come Josephine In My Flying Machine" He added comedy twist to the rollicking number by having Charlie HaZlitt, clarinet tooter in his band, offer hilarious impersonation of an an- tique plane on his instrument.
 Kostelanetz is taking his comedy cue from the great music masters who considered laughter an emo- ton worthy of being expressed in melody. You have only to hear the scherzo movements of Beethoven's Third and Fourth Symphonies to realize that they were meant as fun. The word "scherZo," Itself, literally translated from the Italian means joke"
 The little baton- -waver's idea of a good musicl program consists of an exciting and brilliant selection, e lyric melody, something dramatic, e humorous number and, finally, a return to the lyric mood, but in on extremely light vein,
 "Of this variety of orchestral types" he said, "the humorous compositions have been most neg leeted. Works of this type are much more numerous than most people are aware. And they are of such high musical ealibre that they are not at all out of place In symphonic programs"
 One such number Is "Fascade" by William Walton. Kostelanetz plans to use 1t when he conducts the Los Angeles Symphony in c Hollywood Bowl concert August l3, He'll offer 1t along with the sentimental TschaIkowsky "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy overture" because of his conviction that 1t Is just as impors tant to laugh as 1t IS to weep at Q concert.
 KoStelanetz's summer slogan will Do Laugh, Listener, Laugh"

As | look back over such work as l have done along the enter tainment line, it occurs to me that almost every bit of 1t came about as the result of an acci- dent, completely unpremedltated as far as I was concerned. When Jack first proposed to me out in California, I had to give him a pretty positive "No", If mo" can be positive. Marriage to me meant a nice, quiet home-lifc. And being an actors wife, travelling around from town to town every week. living In hotel rooms and out of suitcaseS didn't exactly coincide with my notions of home life.
