Through fife Static

Clarity was the keynote of last evenings radio activities and, al- though volume was not as great as 1t has been for the past week or SO, 1t was not missed to any great ex- tent with the extra fine quality of the stations transmission. Static was not present, but there was some fad- ing. Stations seemed 10 become mixed up easily, spreading over the dials more than usual.
 We noticed something new in re- gard to WTIC last evening and that was the fact that the station was broadcasting on a wavelength of about 235 or 240 meters, in addition to Its regular wavelength of 476 meters, in addition to it's regular wavelength of 47G meters. This may have been only a backslap, but the music came through in excellent shape, although rather faintly.
 
 One of the most unusual per 1 formances ever to be recorded over the radio was presented from WNAC at Boston last evening. We tuned in on the station last evening at about 6;55 or perhaps [ o'clock. A soprano lolost with a remarkably clear anu distinct voice was singing Indian Love Call' from Rose Marie." At | the close of her program the an- nouncer stated that the Masked Singer" had just completed her pro gram and then went on to tall; about other features.
 The story of this Masked Sing CT" Is an unusual one and gives radio a new position. It seems that this singer appealed to WNAC, the l Shepard Stores, Boston, asking if she might be allowed to sing two num- bers for a unique reason. This young lady was anxious to have Arthur Hammerstein, the producer, hear her voice, but she was unable to go to New York for tryout. And so, with the consent of the Boston station, she sang to Mr. Hammerstein from her home town, the producer having given his consent to listen in on WNAC at $50 o'clock last evening. The reason for the name of the girl being concealed was that in case | of failure her identity would not be known. She asked that she might be masked during her performance in the studio and her request was granted. The officials of WNAC were glad to loan the facilities of the sta ton because of the circumstances and the novelty of the appeal.
 AS for the rest of the evening, about all we brought in was popular music. Chauncey Lees orchestra from WEAR. Cleveland, entertained us for awhile with some choice dance selections, among which were "If You Hadn't Gone Away" and Mel ancholy Blues" The station faded to some extent and from time to time | WTIC could be heard in the dis tance.
 The Silvcrtown Cord orchestra from WEEI, the Club Kentucky or chcstra from WYNN, Jean Goldkette'S orchestra from WJR and Jan Gar, ber's Coral Gables orchestra from ! WQAM, Miami. Florida, filled out ar evening of dance selections. Each or. ches'ra had Its own peculiar and particular style, and if we tired O one We shifted 10 another for awhile
 Graham McNamee has made { name for himself this year. And i all came about because of the fac that he reported so faithfully thu World Series baseball games a Washington and at Pittsburgh. Folk In this city, who are not even inter ested in baseball, stuck close to tn, receivers during the Series, beinl drawn there by the inimitable voic and style of this man, who has beel given the title of the Best Announce for 1925.
