JOINT RECITAL IS WRC FEATURE
ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In-

Paul Bleyden, who has volun-
teered his services and those OF
his artist pupils to summer broad
casting, regardless of static and
other hot weather annoyances, pre-
scented one of the most enjoyable
concerts Of the month from the
WCAP studio last night.
Assisting Mr.. Bleyden were Ruby
Larson Whiting, soprano, and Clyoe
Bruce, basso.
The concert as presented by Mr..
Bleyden seemed to us an admirable
example Of pleasant arrangement
and grouping of numbers. And
the voices which he introduced
were Of the quality which carry
we'll or the air and through the
amplifiers.
Particularly pleasing were the
closing group OF solos by Mr.. BIey-
den himself.
It appeared that we were in for
a little musical romance when
Charles Benter and his Navy Band
Orchestra opened up their concert
program with Sousa's Bride Elect"
and then followed 1t with THE
marriage OF c1SdEOs
The Introduction, Naughty Ma
rietta," as the third number, how
ever, blasted our hopes, and gave
promise Of a drama of the eternal
triangle.
There may be nothing in initial
| letters, but the fact remains that
the names of the three most con-
sistently enjoyable of the summer
broadcasters begin with B-Benter
and Bleyden and Baer.
| Listeners seldom have had the OPP
portunity of hearing over the air
a more vivid bit of description than
that offered last night by Captain
Gordon Gordon.Smith in telling OF
the appearance of the King of the
Serbs in the trenches to inspire a
victory for his troops when defeat
at the hands of the Austrians seemed
inevitable.
The weekly talks by Captain Cor
don-Smith have created for them
selves a large following among the
listeners Of the East.
His mail is said to rival that OF
any Of the broadcasters facing the
microphone during the summer
months.
It was a pleasure to welcome to
Washington from a local studio a.
". Llufrio, one of Washington's
own, who is up among the leaders
on the radio road to fame.
Llufrio, as we'll as any broadcastas
we have heard, can get mis- piano
music into the microphone without
distortion. Musicians who have tried
it tell US that playing the piano for
Mike requires a different technique
than is employed in stage or studio
performances.
Whatever it is, Llufrio knows it.
The notes from the piano under his
fingers last night were clear enough
to please the most exacting musical
critic.
And Llufri has a voice that cuts
through the ether almost as easily
as his piano playing.
1t was no surprise to learn that
he has been engaged as a member
of Roxy's Gang, as assistant to Doc
tor Billy Axt.

how she does it, but insists healer
