...less than $1 for each hungry Chinese. Some months ago General James G. Harbord, President of the Radio Corporation of America, resigned as Chairman of the Fund-which has now collected a scant $300,000. Last week General Harbord's successor, the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, President of the Federal Council of Churches was laboring with but indifferent success to recognize the China Famine Relief Fund Inc. and collect the still lacking $9,700,000. Thousands and almost certainly millions of the Chinafolk now starving in Shantung will die before anything can be done...
Last week, editors thought they saw a good, noncontroversial, non-scandalous religious news story. The elements of the story: the National Broadcasting Company (which always is "decent to newspaper people"); the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America (newspaper people must be decent to it); Dr. Samuel Parkes Cadman (a newspaper columnist himself); Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise (not averse to newspaper publicity), and many a Catholic, Jewish, Protestant layman whose name was not announced. For the greater honor & glory of God, these various factors would work in non-sectarian unison. The Federal Council announced that Dr. Cadman...
Editors headlined Dr. Cadman as world's first "radio pastor." For the most part, this was religio-journalistic enthusiasm. As many a radiowner knows, Dr. Cadman preached from the Bedford (Brooklyn) branch of the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoons, last year, over an 18-station web. And his new and exciting title of "radio pastor" further lost significance when it became known that Rabbi Wise also would preach, that Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick & Dr. Daniel Alfred Poling, able Manhattan divines, might soon be given microphonal pulpits by the National Broadcasting Co., sponsored by the Federal Council of Churches...
Charles Wakefield Cadman considered, George Gershwin dickered, Irving Berlin contracted last week to write musical themes for the new sound-pictures, the audible cinema. The field offers each composer good opportunity to apply his peculiar virtuosity. Each will certainly receive rich fees. The movies can afford to pay. A single picture house, the Roxy Theatre, in Manhattan, rarely receives less than $110,000 a week from admissions. Its income for four weeks of Street Angel (with Movietone) was $479,000. That, however, was a record...
That Charles Wakefield Cadman was considering the cinemas came as surprising news. He writes orthodox music; the Metropolitan Opera produced his Shanewis. His principal resemblance to Composers Berlin and Gershwin is in his face: the three men have aqueline, bony faces, high foreheads, strong jaws. Musically, the three are scattered. The two Jews write so that people sing their songs. Cadman, although by no means profound, writes for listeners. The Gershwins and Berlin are in the market places, night clubs; he in the parlor and concert hall. Berlin is admittedly no musician. But Gershwin is. And both are nimble tumblejacks...
