Last nights inpromptu program
from WCAP, especially that part OF
it which was substituted for the
Washington Opera Company per-
Torrance, was one Of the most en-
Pertaining bills we have listened to
for several weeks.
Al casual perusal Of the advance
program did not reveal anything
that looked particularly good. But
we failed to calculate on the voices
of Gretchen Hood, Earl Carbauh or
Edward Hardell. or the talent Of
Mrs. Norris DAM, Florence Will
Jams Parker. Maurice Jarvis, George
M Bailey or Roger Hill.
All of these artists were good,
very good. Those we liked best.
perhaps because they are familiar
old friends, were the baritone selec-
lions by Earl Carbauh and the joint
tenor and soprano selections by
HardelI and Gretchen Hood.
AS long the those three continue
singing the way they did last night
they will continue to be "favorites"
with the radio audience. And 1t
will be along time before we forget
the piano selections by Mrs. Norrine
Norris. Dahn.
AS the letters pour in on the
inaugurated by The Times last
week, our estimate of the size Of
the audience which daily tunes in
for William M. Sweets anounce-
ments grows. Most of the letters,
of course, come from Maryland and
Virginia. But many are coming
from Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey.
And the amazing feature is that
all of them seem to be regular
listeners, who tune in every after.
noon. Nearly all of them assure
us that there are Hundreds in this
town who listen to the games every
day"
Which leads us to believe that
the regular daily audience which
listens to the Times-WRC broadcast
of the ball games is much over
ing for Washington, even the
Pennsylvania fans, it seems.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony,
which will be played by the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra, as
sisted by a chorus of 200 voices
and prominent vocal soloists of
New York, at the Lewissohn Sta
dunn tonight, will be broadcast by
WRC. Willem Van Hoogstraten
will conduct.
The remainder of wRC's pro-
gram will deal considerably with
India. At 6:55, the travelogue,
lover the Seven Seas, will take
listeners on a visit to Bombay and
Agra. Then at GAS Charles s.
Spofford, jr., trade commissioner to
India, will give a brief talk on
India"
Other features will be a dance
program by w. Spencer Tupman
and his Hotel Mayflower orchestra
and a recital by George O'Brien,
tenor. Because of an open date
in the baseball schedule, WRC will
be silent this afternoon after the
luncheon music from the May
flower.
