Your most recent article about Maestro...
...businesslike and serviceable. He was content to pay for the full half-hour and let TIME'S editors carry on free-handed as of old. The program will come every Friday night at 8:30 p. m. (Eastern Standard Time), the same half-hour and the same Columbia coast-to-coast network over which TIME has marched since March 1931. Direction will be as hereto fore, under Arthur Pryor Jr.. son of the bandmaster, program conductor for Bat ten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn. With it will come music by the same band, under able young Howard Barlow...
