is to be chosen by q commit

composers-Virgil Thomson,

Goddard Lieberson. Columbia's
executive vice president. The
performers will be chosen by
the composers and will work
under their supervision. And
the committee will try to avoid
duplicating other recordings.
The impulse for trail-blaz-
ing is further being asserted,
at the outset, by concentration
on chamber music because. as
Columbia explains, ''that is the
field Of American music that
has hitherto received the least
attention from recording COM
panies." And the recordings.
the company promises, will
represent American music at

The first six issues, now at

committee members are to
make such choices. and it
could not reasonably be ex-
pected that composers of such
prominence be left out.
Some Good Choices
Some Of the initial choices
are excellent. For instance,

We may be in for a rebirth
of radio. There is certain to
be, at any rate, what the ad
men call a reappraisal of the
medium by many of them.
Radio broadcasters with no
television stations to their
names have been telling us all
along, of course, that radio
was the healthiest corpse any,
body ever tried to inter. Ben
Strouse. head man of WWDC,
announced recently, for in
stance, that prospective spon-
sors were standing in line out
side his door.
Some advertisers, though,
have assumed that radio has
been replaced in areas where
televfsion has gained wide
circulation. The lack of valid
ity of this assumption was
pointed out the other day in
a Detroit speech by Harold E.
Fellows, president Of the Ma
tional Association of Radio
and TeleviSion Broadcasters.
Confronted by the competi-
ton of television." he told the
Detroit Adcraft Club. radio

People Still Listen
The NARTB head based his
talk on "The Importance Of
Radio in TeleviSion Areas To-
day." report of a study made
by Alfred Politz Research, Inc.
Some interesting discoveries
were made during the survey,
all pointing to the fact that a
lot of people still listen to the
radio.
The study was a nationwide
one, but was made only in
areas served by television sta
tions. The results are based on
4,985 personal interviews be-
tween mid-December and the
end of January a year ago.
These represented GIG million

With something far more
than fear and trembling, Bing
Crosby approaches his starring
debut on television, Sunday,
January 3.
In an interview on the set
of his new movie, white
Christmas" at Paramount.
Bing gave his very dim view on
TV as a steady medium for
any entertainer.
"It's a killer" said Bing
bluntly. 1--WE been studying 1t
and it's effect on performers
for a long time. I have come
to the conclusion that TV Is
theatrical quicksand."
Why. then, the crooner was
asked, had he finally sue
cumbed to one of the dozens OF
tempting offers from the
medium?
It's Self Defense
"I've tried to figure that one
out myself" he replied. "and
the nearest answer I can give is
that my going into TV Is just
a matter of elf-defenSe. I've
got to keep my foot in, or see
the parade sweep by.
"That doesn't mean I'm to
be a regular weekly affair. or
even a monthly visitor" Bing
added hastily. Actually, this
show I have just filmed is one
of only two I will do in 1854.
They wanted me to do six.
but if I did that many I think
I might just as well sign oil
my career"
Crosby said he doesn't
think any one-and he en-
phasized "any one"-can ap-
pear on TV more than a scat
tered few times a year without
definitely shortening his or her
career.
"They may go great guns
the first season." he said, "but
interest lessons in them the
next season and eventually
they're kaput in the pollsters'
tab charts. The records prove
that. Q
"Put yourself in my place.
I've got a good job. several
good jobs. paying good money.
I don't actually need any
more money at all. Therefore.
should I go out and take the
risk of being killed of COM
pletely - and for so little
gain?"
TV wasn't right for him at
the start. Bing said. and that
was why for three years he
shuddered at the mere men,

"The big shows were really

tacle," he pointed out. ITO

which has been very kind to
him. '"The people who say
they are glad to leave here,
usually didn't make the grade"
How true, how true. "The pace
of the town is very quiet, and
if you are not actually playing
a lead, you have a very quiet
time"
First Role Good
His first Hollywood role
Ships Officer Lightoller in
Titanic" started a race be-
tween Goth Century-Fox and
Metro to sign Purdom to a
long-term deal. Metro won,
and gave him the role of
Strato, servant to James Ma
sons Brutus in Julius Cae-
sar." And now top stardom
with Ann Blyth in this third
picture.
Purdom has definite opinions
on most subjects especially
women. I'm Europe, said
this European, mo woman has
to feel ready for the scrapheap
at any age. Here it's very
sad. I find women are very
upset when past the age Of
25."
The Purdom family lives in
an apartment on the Strip
large and solidly constructed.
I'm a great lover of music,
and I don't want the neigh
bors to complain" His father
