WRNY offered the feature novelty
program of last evening Some one
was talking from the top of the
Woolworth Building and was en-.
deavoring to tell the fans what he
saw. 1t was very dramatic, the whole ,
business, especially the voice OF the
talker. He sounded like Ted Lewis
singing one Of his songs. You know
how Ted sings. He talks rapidly and

His entire talk was well given, al !
though he might have been less
theatrical in describing common
place things. He crowded more
emotion into a description OF Jersey
City by night than Eleanor Glyn
crowded into Three Weeks" The
talk was interesting and he managed
to picture to us the appearance OF
the great city under the cover OF
night. He might have used fewer
SMILES and metaphors, however.
All in all, this novel broadcast was
huge success.

Some young fellow wrote to her
asking several questions regarding
the kind of clothes to wear wher
going to college. He asked her what
sort of a top coat should be worn
and she replied, via radio. that gray
mixtures In straight box styles are
most popular. He also asked If a
slicker should be taken to college
She replied that yellow, green or tan
slickers are being worn. In answer
to question regarding the width of
hat brims, she said that wide brim-
med hats are best. His final question
was, What width trousers should
be worn?' She admonished him not
to go to extremes In width, SAYING
that IS or 10 inch widths are about
right,
A late program from VITO was
presented at 1880 o'clock last night.
II was of popular nature and we
enjoyed the piano solos, although the
guest announcer was not so good. He
sounded as If he were trying to sell
something. Ben Rosenberg and Har-
ry Cooke, pianists, put over some
great stuff, Ben offering his own ver-
sion of Ultima" and Cooke counter
Ing with fantasy, Japanese
Bells"
Community singing attracted our
attention to WQAM, Miami, Florida,
which came in with greater volume
than ever before on our set. The

Of land company, as far as we

Miami Shore" were two Of the
numbers featured. The station signed
off right after that
That's all for today, thanks!
