the Oberammergau Players, will speak
through WIZ tomorrow night Special
1nicrophones will be installed in Herr
Lang's room in the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel, that he may deliver personal
greeting to the radio audience.
The oberammergeau Players have left
the little German town for the flrst time
to spend a few weeks In America,
pleading for relief of tho war stricken
Village which has been the scene or the
performance OF the Passion play. since

than let the famous Passion play die
after centuries of performances, the
leading players consented TO VISIT
America and exhibit their handicraft.

Through your column 1 am hop
ing some fan can help me out.
I am located in the Cathonc Unl-
versity grounds, in Brookland
and for the past week there mas
been some unknown disturbance
in the air which completely cuts
out every bit of music or other
thing that / tune in, even LOCAL
II interferes with. 1t sounds ike
the hum of a motor or loose
connection, but am positive it is
not the latter. as ] have every
connection soldered and all tubes
have been tested. am wonder
ing If any other radio fan in my
vicinity has had the same trouble.
If so, will he reply through your
column, so we can get together
and remedy this cause: as it is
very annoying and probably can
be modified or stopped altogether.
1t seems a pity that this disturb
ance has to interfere with such
good music as WCAP was send
ing out last night. and l hope
come fan will come forward If
he is having the same results as
am. PAUL T. GAIN.
