WTIC. WTIC. in addition, will pro~ sent program Of dinner music from | o'clock until l;43 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, This program should W digestion of that Thanksgiving diG her. The usual line or stuff will com, through in the evening, the head liners b,ing Roxy and his gang irUJu WEAF and several others at { o'clock, the old fashioned quurtu from kDkA at o'clock Art Gii man, the Whispering pianist, from WHAS at S;30 o'clock, and the usual dance music from most std- tions after l0:3O o'clock.
 Last evenings activities started with WHB at Kansas City. where Il quartet was singing "The Song ol The Magpic." The work was excel lent, but WHN ran over every SD often and at times we heard SO prano soloist accompanied by WHIPS quartet, Several flute solos were also featured, but they didn't bother Us 10 any great extent,
 WENE at Chicago signed off early last evening and We had d chance to get in on their method of signing off. It's similar something like that of WMI5F. The orchestra plays Good Night Ladies" and "Homc Sweet Home" while the announcer is telling about the call letters, the wavclcngths and the time oday. Really very effective.
 An interesting feature of the pro gram by Vincent Lopez and his or | chcstra, broadcast by WEAF, New York, direct from the Casa Lopez, Vincents new night club, was the i "Rube Town Frolic,' a descriptive | selection played in dance time. The 1 old time village band was perfectly 1 initiated and the dance music as played by the village orchestra 1 couldn't have been more true to lif', They even had a prOmptcr calling 1 out the various movements of the dances.
 A. NJ. Joseph, accompanying him self on the ukuleIc sang in rather When Tho One You Love Loves You" from kDKA. Mr. Joseph $ voice improved as he went on, until at the end of the selection it was almost back to normal. His place before the microphOne was taken by a Stan Ryder, who sang Moonlight and Roses" very nicely.
 Jack Smith, "The Whispering Bar itOne," with whose photograph rec ords all the New Britain girls have fallen in love because oI his "bee-ll- tiful voice; oh, ain't it swell?' was announcing from the Club Caravan through WHN last evening. All Wc heard of the program was woman with a deep, hungry voice singing, Hugo Where l Co.," in a manner not at all cntrancing. She should stick to dancing. And besides, We don't care about listening to four piece orChcstras.
 We got in on a piano solo from XIV, Chicago. Just a Little Drink" was the name of ii, Well, the selection went along in the approved | dance style until the end, which Is customary, and then the musician or operator, have it as you will, started off into grand opera interludes, dash ing up the scale, and then down again with all the tricky little thrills and such, which concert pianists and accompanists use while the singer is chewing a cough drop or taking a drink, From there the selection ran into "Oh, How l Miss You Tonight. We left, for fear the pianist migh' start taking short hand lessons.
 Last, but not least, we heard Jack Chapman's orchestra from the Drake Hotel, Chicago, and we felt homcsick. Jacks orchestra, while II is worth listening to, isn't the same as it was in the old days when Dream Daddy" was made popular by that aggregation. The band played through WGN and rendered Tt Must Be Love" and "I Wonder How My Sweetie Is Tonight
 After that we drifted off into dreams of something, from which we were abruptly awakened by being hit In the back of the neck by a sandwich. We then went to bed.
