Gabrilowitsch Here is the secret of success of America’s most popular tenor. Richard Crooks is accustomed to sing for the multitude and not merely for the musical intelligentsia, and so, very rightly includes in his programmes .examples of that simpler, more sentimental, yet melodious music beloved of the many. His programmes, comprehensive in their sweep, minister also to those who respond to the higher and better things, and, indeed, to the best; a group of classics-Bach, Haydn, Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven; arias from opera; songs from the beautiful repertory of lieder; a final group of ballads. This is the scheme of a Crooks programme; to which only poseurs and the-~-hypercritical can take exception. 9.36 "Surfeit of Lampreys": Ngaio Marsh’s new detective story, read .by the author | 9.52 The Columbia Vocal Gem Company, "Let’s Have a Chorus" 10. 0 Dick Jergens and his Orchestra 11. 0 NEWS FROM LONDON followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN AY 84Qk¢, 357m.
