The "Free Company" is a group of Ameri can playwrights and authors who are writing a series of radio plays directed against foreign propaganda, expressing in their plays their own views about American democracy. Si the groove PRESTON HAYS. It still isn't too late to scribble about anything as good as Artie Shaw's "Concerto For Clarinet." We've worn out a handful of needles on it, but we want to hoar it again. We have to mention the smooth tone Artie displays in the sentimental spots. . .and the eight -beat movement (boogie to you, friend) is super. The biggest kick is the Shaw clary to Just the beat of Nick Fatool's tom-tom... no frills, no special accompaniment, just plain solid stuff. While speaking of Mr. Shaw, we'll say that his "Star Dust" is our favorite, because of 32 bars of sentimental clarinet and Billy But terfield's brilliant trumpet. Re verse, "Temptation," rates a plus too. We just heard Basie's "Rocking The Blues" which really sent us . . .sent us out looking for a ticket to the prom. The "count" really grooves this one. Solid rhythm re minds one of the "One O'clock Jump," and it's just as good. Ba sic's niano shinp.q of course and Wrre is an O. K. trumpet chorus too. The up-and-over, "Volcano" is a concoction. . .take a typical Ba sie right hand, add a bit of rhum ba left hand, sprinkle with a dark and mournful chord or two, add a moaning sax. . .and you get plen ty of colorful listening. Try it. Glenn Miller's band rates a word about perfection. Only a metro none can set a tempo and keep it like this crew... and their unisons are so good you can't tell whether one man or the whole section is playing. All of this leads us around to the best arrangement we've heard in three packs of needles. . ."The Song of the Volga ' Boatmen." Only chorus to speak of is Tex Beneke's tenor sax. . .but the ensemble is super with its solid Ah k'mvr J 4 ,- ur , ,--w f if--- n. ; ' s.'SNv Jt - .U.m..J "rf T i , if HMnUlt i hm Number one brass hat of the radio regiments is Glenn Miller, according to a recent poll of the na tion's radio editors. Miller's special way of serving song and swing has caught the fancy of American dancers more than any other band today, the editors agree. Nope those aren't trench helmets the slip horn boys are swinging, though the Miller band salutes the army bands three times weekly on its "Ches terfield Moonlight Serenade." It's a CBS program.

The twelve writers in cluding such men as Orson Welles and Stephen Vincent Benet who have formed this new group arc working entirely without com pensation in an original series of radio plays intended to combat hostile propaganda from abroad by emphasizing the meaning of American freedom. Hollywood stars will also contribute their services in the presentation of the plays. Music Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano of the Metropolitan, makes her second appearance of the sea son on the Ford Sunday evening hour tonight (KFAB, 8 p. m.) with Eugene Ormandy conducting. She will sing "Largo" from Handel's comic opera, "Xerxes," and "Amour, Viens Aider," from Samson and Delilah," by Saint Saens. In today's New York Philhar monic Symphony concert, originat ing from Carnegie hall, John Bar birolli, conductor of the orchestra, will introduce a piano concerto by Mischa Portnoff with Nadia Rei senberg, guest soloist, at the piano. Portnoif, because of the interest Barbirolll has taken in him and the suggestions he has given him on the composition of the concerto, has dedicated the selection to him. Deems Taylor will comment during intermission. Theater Drama takes the spotlight in to day's radio programs as the Silver Theater, (KFAB, 5 p. m.) directed by Conrad Nagel, presents Olivia De Havilland in "Drawn by Lot," and Helen Hayes appears in her own radio theater (KFAB, 9:30 p. m.) as the heroine in a radio adaptation of the motion picture, "Bachelor Mother."

Dem ing's new elementary college text book of "Fundamental Chemistry" appears in the February issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The reviewer states, "One of the outstanding features of the book is the ability of the author to write clearly, to simplify explana tions, and to use apt analogies. Only an excellent teacher with a thoro knowledge of modern chem istry could write a book so inter esting to students and so stimulat ing to instructors." Betty Grable joins Bing Cros by, Bob Hope and Jerry Colon na in a presentation of "Altar Bound," sparkling comedy to be heard on the "Screen Guild The ater" over the Columbia net work tonight at 6. The comedy is packed with fun and music, and was selected for its suitabil ity to this unusual array of tal ent. Patterson leads discussion group The second in a series of seven weekly YM-YW Bible classes, de signed to prepare students as Sun day school teachers and as lead ers in Bible discussion groups, will be held in the dining room in El len Smith Monday at 4 p. m. Speaker will be Dr. C. H. Patter son, who will discuss the Old Test ament. Unlike the regular Bible discus sion groups on the campus, which consider Bible teachings in the light of present day living, this class will make an analysis of the Bible, its history and significance, and a study of methods of teach ing it. Rev. Robert E. Drew, Methodist student pastor, and president of the university Religious Welfare Council, led the first meeting last Monday with a discussion of the New Testament. Other student pas tors and faculty members will be brought in to lead future meet ings.
