Through tie Static

Reception last night was unmarred by static, but WTIC at Hartford seemed 10 monopolize the air more than usual, It was impossible for us to bring in Schenectady or any of the stations above 1t while WTIC was on the air, unless WGY used super power Distance was possible. but not especially satisfactory.
 
 WGY experimented with super. power again last night and the ex- periments should prove a boom to New Britain and Hartford fans who have been bothered by the shift to a higher wavelength that Hartford has made. It used to be possible for New Britainites to tune out WTIC by a slight utrn of the dial, when the sta- tion was lodged at S48 meters, but since the move to 476 meters, the entire wsveband from S70 meters up into the six hundreds is taken up.
 We followed WT1C's activities from 7:35 o'clock until the middle of the concert by Emil Heimberger's or chestra, with few short rests. The Bond Trio offered three especially interesting selections, Henry The Eighth Dances" "Whispering Flow CTS" and "Lohengrin," each one an example of a different variety ol music. The first brought out the vivacity of the dances of long ago being played with a certain snap and yigor. the second was quiet and dreamy as suggested by the title, and the third bordered on the mar tial.
 Watson Woodruff, tenor, offered a pleasing program of tenor solos. Mir Woodruff has voice of which we did not tire, although we listened tC three numbers by him. His voice is noe one that would tire person, in asmuch as 1t Is flexible and he does not maintain the montonous steelS tone which is so much prized by some pseudo singers. Little Gray Home In The West" Homing" ana Morning" were the selections we heard.
 Forest Days" by the Travellers Mixed Quartet provided an interest. ing study for those musically in' clined. As for Us, we sat and en' ioyed til selections, rather than trieC to pick it apart. It was worth listen | ing to, although as Is the case in al quartet music, 1t was impossible tt understand the words. "Serenade" b, | the quartet also registered.
 "Normandie," ""Sonya" and "Th | Farmer Took Another Load Away were imbued with unusual pep a played by Heimberger's Hotel Bon dance orchestra. The band is popu lar with radio fans and is proving | be one of the major dance music at fractions on the air.
 WCTS at Worcester offered q Sal vation Army band. We heard one SC lection, "Jerusalem, My Happ Home" The brasses were prominer and the sacred number was we played. the style being reminisccr { of WCBD and the Zion band.
 An unscheduled organ recit; graced WEBS program last nigh this offering being presented by
 Mir. Christian from the studio of th Estey Organ company. The Spring field station reproduced carefully til deep tones of the Instrument and M Christian proved himself capable ( the console. Among his selection
 were Carry Me Back To Old Vii ginny," Loves Old Sweet Song" a
 original arrangement of "The En of a Perfect Day" and. as final S' lection Home, Sweet Home" It w. announced that another recital
 this type will be presented tomorro
 evening, at which time Mir. Chri tan will offer a program made 1, entirely of old time melodies. 5 The Hotel Plaza dance orchest' , offered variety of dance selection all of them well played, but none them out of the ordinary. "Oh, B = What a Girl" If You Were II ) Only Girl" Are You Sorry" If E Had a Girl Like You" and sever others Of the same type. The 2 c ranger of the program must ha been deeply In love, because all b one of the numbers bore name e C pressive of sentiment.
