Telephone fines to WCAPS studio
were literally burned by radio fans
last night while Vincent Lopez and
his Hotel Pennsylvania Orchestra
was on the air, requesting special
selections. Although an extra corps
of operators were on duty at the
time, they were unable to handle the
calls as rapidly as they came in.
Lopez and his orchestra gave
WCAP's audience one of tho best mu-
sical treats broadcast from that sta
tion. 1t was a rapid-fre program OF
popular music. Lopez did his own
announcing, played two piano solos
to demonstrate his mastership of the
"ivories' and forgot to give the TUBA
player time to catch his breath be-
tween numbers.
The orchestra will return TO
WCAP's studio tomorrow night Tor
another engagement.
