ing that he was able to send them
on their separate ways. 1t was then

though the male member at the
"Go-Getting" couple was forced to
leave his girl friend at the WOR
Playhouse when he went out on his
mission, and may have had some
difficulty explaining his prolonged
absence, his sense Of humor re-
NAMED with him throughout the
five-hour ordeal.

controlled laughter, coughs and
applause from q studio audience

An only child of unmusical par
ents, Renardy was born In Vienna
in 1921. At five he began the study
OF the violin, and at thirteen, made
his first recital, in Italy. Then fol-
lowed tours of Europe until his
reputation bridged the Atlantic and
he was booked for an American de-
but tour. At the end of January,

Morton Gould predicts that there
Will be great upSwing in march
music on the air, SO he's reorches-
trating many favorite marches for
use on his Tuesday night Mutual
broadcasts. Mr.. Gould explains,
you see, many of the existing
marches are orchestrated only for
bands while quite a few of the
march orchestrations for orches-
tras have not been good" Gould
explains. March music, naturally,
is in big demand these days. So
we need suitable orchestrations of
all the famous marches, orchestra
ted especially for the modern or
chestra. It seems that nobody has
taken the trouble before to make
good Orchestrations of march
tunes"
"And-since marches are BOOM
ing-let's not be SNUG In our atti-
tude towards march music" Gould
declares. There's no reason why
a really good piece of music can't
be written in the march form, as
well as in any other musical idiom.
I think the war will lead many OF
our creative musicians to compose
worthwhile works that combine
patriotism and good music"
