In the middle of measure, leaving
 us with the idea that something. had gone wrong with the station or with
 our set. The announcer set us right
 ny telling us that the music was be-
 Ing broken into fos the reason al
 ready given.
 CFCF at Montreal surprised us
 With It's volume, this being the first canadian station We have been able
 10 receive with any success all sea- son, The station did not fade and we Ilstened to one number, leaving soon after Its conclusion, since the pro- gram was nothing out of the ordi. nary. Beautiful Land of Nod" sung ny Alice G. White, soprano was the selection we heard. Miss White has an excellent voice, although 1t is not especially strong. Announcements were made in English and French.
 WGR at Buffalo came in well for a time and then dropped out of the picture and fell to its customary semi-obliterated place on our volume record. Look at Those Eyes" played by dance orchestra, found it's way along our aerial The number was well played, but the musicians acted as 1T they were afraid to let them selves out, for fear of breaking the windows or something.
 We looked In at WHN which was coming Tn unusually loud, A dance orchestra from some supper club was on the air, but we were anxious 10 hear Ben Bernie's orchestra before going 10 bed, so we went up to-
 WEAF. where the famous Roose- Velt Hotel Grill orchestra was on the air for one of it's tri-weekly pro- grams The orchestrations, highly colorful, make this band one of the hest on the air and We listened un- til the station signed off, hearing four numbers. Pretty Baby" com- fS''iNiD'i VI iiItfil ty LII bdhtT anu Ben Bernie. proved to be a tuneful little number, although the words. in common with many present day popular songs, might have been written by tWo-year- old, providing tWo-year- ods can write. From the sedate, slow rhythm of Pretty Baby with saXophbne combinations and soft violin passages prominent, the band went to the other extreme, Bell Hoppin' Blues" wind jazz selection, raving mad, with clarinet and trumpet becoming candidates for the nadhouse. An interesting feature of this number was the piano solo, which was one of the best we have heard in connection with a dance number.
 A novelty number offered by the orchestra was The Speech" a tra- Testy on the after dinner speakers. We laughed considerably through 1t. Each member of the orchestra in turn took 8, chorus of the number and, In time with the music, began one of the customary talks of the men called upon after banquets, "Unaccustomed as l am to public speaking" and all that bunk. When ever the speaker paused the rest of inc band would yell, Speech! Speech.' Several talks in foreign dialect were given, the entire pro- cecdings being offered in dance time. A highly entertaining and distinctly unusual novelty number, say We. The last selection we heard was Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue" a "pret- ty" selection.
 "Footloose," the melody of Carl Rupp and Hal Cochran, sent out in the promotion of May Seymour (Footloose)" will be widely broad cast on the radio the week of Sep tember 2S. These stations have al ready announced "Footloosc" on their programs:
 WRC, Maytiower Hotel, Washing ton; WEEI, Boston; WsBF, St. Louis; WWAD, Philadelphia; WWJ,  WHEN IN HARTFORD
