Through The Static

day had becn'a warm one, there was little static to speak Of and what there was came in crashes at long intervals. Stations were high on the volume and lt was possible to pick out many Of tho wosterners without any trouble at all.
 Threo stations formed our itincr- ary last evening and those rather late. Candidly we are sick Of wan derIng around through the mass of small time stuff which is on the air between o'clock and 9:3O. Lee lures, dinner music and such stuff get tiresome and don't forget it.
 But we did hear q good program of dinner dance music last night and 1t was something different from the usual run of unheard Of classical so- lcctions played by none too good ho- tel orchestras WEAN, the Shepard Stores at Providence, provided the liaMa Hawaiian string quartet, d group Of musicians that more than | knew how to play music. "Theyre Wearing Them Higher in Hawaii was ono of the numbers, with vocal Choruses by the entire quartet. Those Loys could sing. too. Several Ha- waiian numbers, some Of them NatEcs and others played in fox trot, | made a pICa6ant oasis in a desert of What-not.
 We waited for the late concerts and tuned in on WMAK at Lockport just as the concluding announce ment Of the evening was being made. The birthday anniversary of Samuel r. B. Morse, the inventor Of the tele- graph, will be tittingly observed by the Norton Laboratories station over in New York state. according to the announcer
 Over to WI3Z we went. Here the Don Ramsay Radio Four was send ing out some harmony. Tn Shadow land" rI.et Me Be The First To Kiss You Goot Morning." and several other popular songs were included Don Ramsay furnished the piano ac. compartment. Violet GridleN Billy Coty and Jack Armstrong were the other member of the quartet. The Radio Four had an entirely new pro . gram, throwing to the four wind; the old selections which they have been plugging until the entire radio , auiionce must know the songs bet ter than the members of the quartet , do. My Sugar" by Coty and Arm, strong. was sung in the approved race record manner.
 The Hotel Brunswick orchestra { band We have not heard for som, time, presented q program of sevora numbers two Of them being entire ly new stuff on the air. "Oh, Thost Eyes" "HoNs Your Folks and M, FoIks@' If Ever l Try" and "Oh l llo," were the four we heard. Th' baud played them well. but there q tin-penny something or othe , about the Droadcasts by that orches tra which we cant understand.
 Then we went over 10 kDkA l. 4 see, or rather hear, what that. sta = ton had to offer. A midnight revue with the Westinghouse band an cv'rythin', dashed into the set fo about % minutes. The band playct Manhattan Beach March, b. Sousa, snappy, inspiring number and then the mIcrophone was turnc' r over to Miss McKcnna, who. UT fortunately is a soprano solois Strange to say. we enjoyed bot numbers, although we coudn - make ont the second one, Land ( The Sky Blue Water" by Cadma
 was the first Of the two.
