of hours to entertainment, both commercial and
non-commercial. My fear is that, unless we or-
ganize a practical and systematic plan for edu-
cational broadcasting, it will not be long until
all the hours are gone.

the Federal Radio Commission to consider this
question and to draw into conference some of
the leading school, educational and radio au-
thorities of the country?"
Duo-Art Artist Scores
in American Debut
Vladimir Horowitz, celebrated European con-
cert pianist, made his American debut on Thurs-
day, January 12, in Carnegie Hall, New York,
appearing as soloist with the New York Phil-
harmonic, and playing the Tschaikovsky B flat
minor concerto. Mr. Horowitz received an
ovation from the audience at the conclusion of
his playing, and also won praise from the music
critics in the metropolitan newspapers. He is
an exclusive Duo-Art recording artist, and has
been making rolls for several seasons in Lon-
don, being considered one of the most talented
of the younger school of European pianists
who are coming to the front.
