william 6. white, principal Of
music, OF the Army Music School
led his Army Music School Band
through some difficult numbers in
pleasing manner last night. The
recital undoubtedly made a favor
able impression for the music
school and its work.
In a program OF such beauty it
is hard to select one piece as the
cross rythm OF the second move
ment from TschaikowsHy's sixth
symphony and Beethoven's sextette
for wind instruments about the
most.
The joint recital by Conrad
Young, tenor and Miss Leona An
thony, mezzo-soprano. both artists
Of the Bleyden studio, proved a
pleasant little surprise toward the
end Of the evening. Mr.. Young's
voice has a fullness and richness
which is not often heard off the
concert stage. In reviewing that
recital it would be unfair to over
look the accompaniment by Miss
Margaret Bowie Grant.
wendall Hall, the Fred Headed
Music Maker" who gained unusual
popularity here in Washington when
touring as an Eveready. artist, is
back on the air.
Wendall was last heard from
WHAS, Louisville. the latter part
of January. He was called home
| at that time because of the serious
Illness and death of his father. Utls
of respect to his father the enter
| tainer remained silent until Satur-
day night when he appeared at
| the opening OF the new WIS studio
at Chicago.
His program came through to
Washington rather the worse for
wear, but we will have better
| chances in the future because Wen.

Station WCAO, Baltimore, re-
turned to the air last night with
q special program featuring ad-
dresses by Mayor Jackson, Of Balti-
more and Roxy. An elaborate musi-
cal program was broadcast, accord
ing to the Baltimore newspapers.
We didn't get the opening bill, but
will be glad to hear from anyone
in Washington that did,.
