 A half hour Of Jewish airs formed the presentation by the St. James thater orchestra from WBZ last evening. We won't attempt to re- produce the names, but we enjoyed the program immensely. A eollec- ton of waltzes and marches charac- tcrized the offering, and Charles R. Hector put forth his usual effort to please. A request was received from q fan in Montreal for tho playing Of Me and My Boy Friend" this fox trot, In marked contrast 10 the mum bers which had gone before, being presented with the usual dash of the orchestra.
 The Gold Dust Twinn, out of WEAF, were on the air for their weekly round of fun and song. "Lindy Lou" a song of the south, was rendered with peculiarly com pact harmony by these two extra ordinary singers, Then they brought out the banios and dashed off "Ukulele Lady," number which has certain dignity In spite of the name. Then, after bit Of cross fire batter, they broke out with No body" Gus Williams old song, an old negro blues song. There's only one fault we have 10 find. While they arc talking, the Twins speed up too much and 1t is proposition at times 10 make out what they're saying,

 The Ladies' Soxtette, an organiza ton Of excellent vocalists, distributed entertainment from WTIC for awhile, that is, we listened to It for awhile. The Lotus Flower" was one of the numbers and maybe those women couldn't sing! In spite of the fact that this column is an exceed ingly proper one and we never in dulge ourself with the use of slang 1 expressions, We must pause an emit q heartfelt "Ifot Dawg," trusting | that the Civic Safety League will for give us.
 l An orchestra offering, we missed 1 the name of the orchestra, but nc matter, it probably was the Boston 1 American aggregation, from WNAC we hope you follow through all the | dlsjointed phrases which have oc- cured so far in this sentence. was Selections from Little Nellie Kel- 1 ley" George NJ. Cohan's musical show. You Remind Me Of My Mother and Little Nellie Kelley played prominent parts. Atenor solo Will You Remember Me?" wa& dashed off nonchalantIy by John NJ Lyons, When he was half way through it, he acted as if he were sorry that he'd ever started to sint the number.
 The DiXicland orchestra iron WTlC was heard in a group Of mum bers. Will You Remember Me- "Ycarning," 'I'l See You In M. Dreams and "Titina." There va nothing exceptional about the or chcstra, either in its arrangemo ont. or in its rcnditions.
 Ukulole Hughes, at WTIC, showed us that he has an excellent voice Accompanying himself on th' ukuleIe, a fact you'd hardly gues from his name. he sang "Thr Rosary" and Somewhere a Voice i Calling" pleased us greatly. in spit' of the undigni6cd accompaniment for such d4gnfed songs.

It seemed at first as the two stations were hooked up, bu finally, WIN sent It's orchestra for ward and the selection from tha station was finished first. We dashe back and forth like a sunstruck SC lion, trying to find out which on was the winner. And the numbe was an unusual one, too. It was a arrangement Of several old number which were once popular and sti are, for that matter, Ernie Golde ard his Hotel McAlpin orchestr played 1t from WMCA and The Gu Alabam orchestra did its best fror . the other station.
