Food Makes Them Talk

You can expect better and more bril-
liant conversation over a dinner table
than under any other circumstances.
In fact, one Of the reasons why the
art of conversation has languished in
America is because we've had SO little
time to sit around the table after
dinner.
Another advantage we've found in
our dining room studio is that a full
meal spreads = calm over the gather

There are other devices besides the
convivial dinner to attain . spirit of
informality. No announcer Is allowed
IN the dining room. All announce
ments are made in an adjoining studio
and are not heard by the impromptu
conversationalists. There IA no "On

no one except Lyman Bryson, dis

to forbid the use Of transcriptions or

ground or for very special events.
Despite the increase in the volume
of educational programs. some listen
ers continue to suggest that still more
of them be included in network and
station schedules Other auditors
oppose drama thrillers, although these
have been squeezed through the
wringer in the last few years to re-
move the objections of sensitive fans,
especially with respect to their effect
on the juvenile mind. Occasional OBJ
lection is made to the prevalence OF
Hollywood atmosphere in programs
from the film colony. Studio audience
applause draws some resentment, and
every now and then there are COM

see two or three top flight programs

Of ALL
While some Of the suggestions
elected when listeners are asked to
give full and frank disclosure may
momentarily pink up the cheeks of
broadcasters. they are deemed ex-
tremely helpful in the long run. The
suggestions often cover the gamut of
radio listening reaction, ranging all
the way from desire for less swing to
criticism OF the way an engineer moni-
tored particular program.
In the musical field there is more
than mere objection to the prevalence
Of swing. for many listeners find more
hillbilly and cowboy music on broad
cast schedules than their harmonic
appetites can absorb. Frequent re-
quests are made for more of the old
honey songs, the kind that mother
used to sing, and many auditors would
like q higher percentage of sacred
music.

poser will create Jazz laboratory"
at Columbia for further experiment
tatiof in music-the kind of expert
mentation that originally created such
unusual compositions as "Powerhouse, "
twilight in Turkey" and Toy Trum-
pet"
Scott has an unusual agreement with
c. B. S. Under its terms he will be
free to compose. conduct and also be
free to engage in picture, theater
and concert work At Columbia
Scott will have at his disposal the
facilities Of the network-studios. re-
cording equipment. engineers, arran-
gers, and whatever combination OF
musiciaps he finds necessary-for the
working out Of his musical ideas.
One OF his first experiments will
be the creation Of a dance band, with
his celebrated quintet as its nucleus.
Other possibilities are string ensem-
bic and the development OF an un-
usual full concert orchestra. As in
the case Of the quintet, Scott probably
will compose his own music for his
experiments.
ITO my mind there is nothing
startling in setting up this musical

What comes out of it will be as
indeterminate as what comes out of
any other research laboratory. Scien-
fists work for weeks or months before
they feel ready to announce a new
discovery. But without the laboratory
work there is nothing.

Before radio a composer wrote
music to be played by group of mu-
sicians directly to people present in a
concert hall. Today, however, the
composer must bear in mind that the
radio listener does not hear music
directly. He hears it only after the
sound has passed through a micro
phone, amplifiers, transmission lines,
radio transmitter. receiving set. and,
finally. the loud-speaker apparatus
