Program Preview
For the week beginning Sunday, March 16. (All times are E.S.T., subject to change without notice.)
The Art of Fugue (Sun. 9:15 a.m., CBS). Second of three programs devoted to Bach's immense essay in counterpoint. Soloist: Organist E. Power Biggs.
NBC Symphony (Sun. 5 p.m., NBC). An all-Beethoven program: For the Consecration of the House overture, the Sixth (Pastoral) Symphony. Conductor: Arturo Toscanini.
Jack Benny (Sun. 7 p.m., NBC) hires an expensive quartet for a one-night stand: Bing Crosby, Dennis Day, Dick Haymes, Andy Russell.
Margaret Truman (Sun. 8 p.m., ABC) makes her radio debut as a vocalist with the Detroit Symphony, unless her laryngitis persists (see PEOPLE). Tentative selections: Tosti's Serenata, Fernandez' Cielito Lindo, Sadero's Fa La Nana, Bambin, Bach-Gounod's Ave Maria.
St. Patrick's Day (Mon. 6:15 p.m., CBS). Eire's Prime Minister Eamon de Valera makes an address to the Irish-speaking world.
Burke of Scotland Yard (Tues. 8 p.m., Mutual). Basil Rathbone as radio's newest sleuth--a sort of marked-down Sherlock Holmes, with a girl friend instead of a hypodermic needle.
The Whistler (Wed. 10 p.m., CBS). The West Coast's No. 1 deep-freezer in a coast-to-coast spot. Characteristics: a foolishly "Shadowy" beginning, an O. Henry ending, separated by good, creepy scripting.
Henry Morgan (Wed. 10:30 p.m., ABC). A wit who is sharpest, he says, "under the influence of money."
Invitation to Music (Wed. 11:30 p.m., CBS). The CBS Symphony in the radio premiere of Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen. Conductor: Leopold Stokowski.
