Station UNITED STATES IN REVIEW gan, would have been a more notable event had the stars shelved their usual routines and worked together as a cast in a single produc- tion. As it was, the Comedy Hour plodded along in a disconnected slowly-paced fashion. It lacked the over -all polish expected of profes- sional showmen. Pound for pound the show was about as light and palatable as the mam- moth cake made out of soap which had been whipped up to fete the program, its producers and its stars. BOMB TARGET, U.S.A. CBS Radio, 9-10 p.m., March 20. Narrator: Arthur Godfrey. Commentators: Charles Collingwood, Da- vid Moore and Peter Backes. Producer: Irving Gitlin. Supervisor: Stuart Novins. Original Music: Ben Ludlow. Musical Conductor: Alfredo Antonini. THE need for preparedness in civil defense organization was vividly underlined in CBS Radio's full -hour documentary, Bomb Target, U.S.A., tape recorded at more than 100 key points across the country and presented March 20. The program was a formidable task, and its result deserves tribute to CBS Radio's officials and a staff of 31 newsmen. It had some of the best elements of drama-suspense, pathos, humor, and tragedy. And in the best documen- tary tradition, it presented facts and figures, opinions and viewpoints from civil defense officials throughout the country, Army and Navy authorities, and the little guy in the street who is doing his share toward making his coun- try safe. The program built up excitement as CBS correspondents Charles Collingwood, David Moore and Peter Hackes, aboard a B -29 simulat- ing attacks on New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, reported their progress toward their "targets" as radio, ground observer, anti-air- craft, and jet interceptor fight plane units went into action "against" them. If any criticism can be directed toward such COMING! a laudable project, it is that an hour is too long to sustain audience interest. In view of the sub- ject matter here, this criticism might more pro- perly be directed against the public. But as narrator Arthur Godfrey called in officials and WAKR -TV volunteers throughout the country, the listener may well have tended to lose contact with the central dramatic motif -the bomb attacks. Though a half -hour program might have neces- Akron's sitated the elimination of much authoritative testimony, it should have brought more sharply into focus the message that many localities are FIRST not prepared, and that "it" could happen here.

  • Wallingford Riegger
    WALLINGFORD RIEGGER: Romanza — Music for Orchestra Alfredo Antonini conducting the Orchestra of the “Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia-Roma” Dance Rhythms Alfredo Antonini conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra THIS RELEASE is but further evidence of the growing and gratifying tendency of recent years to recognize Wallingford Riegger as one of the leading and most influential figures in twentieth century American composition, in fact as the dean of American composers. Herbert Elwell, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said it in April, 1956: “I am coming more and more to the conclusion that it is Riegger who has been the real leader and pathfinder in contemporary American music . not only a master of his craft but in some ways a prophet and a seer.” In the same month, in Musical America, Robert Sabin wrote: “I firmly believe that his work will outlast that of many an American composer who has enjoyed far greater momentary fame.” Riegger was born in Albany, Georgia, on April 29, 1885. Both his parents were amateur musicians and were determined to encourage their children in musical study. When the family moved to New York in 1900, the young Wallingford was enrolled at the Institute of Musical Art where he studied the cello and composition. Graduating from there in 1907 Riegger then went to Germany to study at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Max Bruch. In 1915-1916 he conducted opera in Würzburg and Königsberg and the following season he led the Blüthner Orchestra in Berlin. Since his return to the United States in 1917, he has been active in many phases of our musical life.
