made by the Radio Corporation OF
America Saturday night Though
Its two stations, WIZ, New York,
and WRC, Washington, came SO
early in the evening that it YVES
PROBABLY missed Ky many listeners.
The announcement was to the ef-
feet that arrangements have been
completed between the Radio Cor
po-ution and the British Broadcast
ms Company for regular nightly
re5roadcasting of British programs
over the Radio Corporation stations
in this country.
Not only did the announcement
promise more regular rebroadcast'
ing of English entertainment but
also better technical facilities with
correspondingly better reception.
The power used in the tests last
/ year will be more than doubled IN
this years efforts.
So certain Of success are the two
companies included in the agree
ment that they are planning to set
aside certain hours every night
or three nights week Tor Inter
national Rebroadcasting. In Eng
land 1t has already been set aside on
gram period"
Roxy and his gang are on the
way back to the big city, after three
weeks vacation in Canada. Next
week we will hear them from their
regular studio in the Capitol Thea
| ter.
The vacation must have done
them good. They sounded better
last night than Tor a long time.
Among the numbers we remember
as particularly good were the Male
Quartette's Swing Along" Doug'S
"Duenna." Marjorie's ever enjoy
able Garry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginia;' the "Kasnmire" and
Gypsy" love songs. and the Vol
ga Boat Song"
Roxy and his associates have an
! nounced that they are going to
build a chain of six big movie thea
tiers in New York, including the one
to be called The Roxy Theater."
The total cost of the chain will be
about 100000. We are glad to
see Roxy has boon working for
something besides charity.
