RADIO
Real Classical Music Has
PaIIed on Taste Of Writer.
Receptions Perfect

BY LISTENER-IN
Local radio programs need more
jazz.
Throughout the summer months
the local air has been filled with
classical music, chiefly from the
service bands, the New York Phil
harmonic Orchestra, and the Gold
man band. Even the Capitol Thea
ter and Crandall programs have
been chiefly classical.
The classical programs have been
the best available. No better music
can be found than that produced by
the New York Philharmonic Or
chestra. And the service bands are
leaders in their type OF music. BUT
with the programs filled by music OF
this kind there has been q sad lack
Of variety in the bills.
We have listened to whole eve
nings of music entirely classical,
without a jazz note. And We have
heard the same classical numbers
played over and over by the diff
ferent organizations.
The only break In. the monotony
was about four hours OF dance
music every week during the sum
mer. No popular singing, no popu-
lar Quartets, nothing but classic
and a little bit Of dance music.
Recently the ice has been broken.
Night before sast, Klark and Jacobs
offered some real variety in their
performance from the lie Paradts
roof. Yesterday afternoon, Ellis
worth Tompkins and George +.
Ross, 1.-THE Foolish Entertainer"
from WRC, who announce on the
side, put on a popular" bill which
ranged all the way from the classics
to bedtime songs.
Their program was really good
and should have been put on IN the
evening, instead Of during the
afternoon. Both Of the announcers
have good voices and a wide roper
toire. And Tompkins is capable of
good line of Chatter and patter."
Let's have more of this sort Of en-
tertainment. If we do, more OF US
will stay indoors during the open
season" to listen to radio.
Reception has been almost perfect
lately. During the past two nights
we have listened to almost every
big station from KOA Denver to
| the East coast. We've heard the
municipal bands in Denver; Harvey
Snodgrass, 1.-THE king of the ivoriesr
who made his reputation at the
Missouri State Penitentiary through
WOS, from WOAI, San Antonio;
WMBF, wonderful Mama Beach,
Florida and dozens of others in.
