farewell concert OF the season to-

other stations. They will not be

The Brunswick programs were

employed. For its concert tonight
the Brunswick company has prom

The half dozen stations who have

An announcement from Roxy to-
day states that Percy Granger, the
famous composer pianist, who ap
peared during the first part of
Roxy's studio party Sunday night
is planning to broadcast again in
the near future.
Mr.. Granger enjoyed his broad

to return for another engagement
A few. years ago Roxy induced
the Australian composer pianist to
appear as a soloist at the Capito!
Theater. It was the first time that

Hundreds Of letters have been re.
ceived by WRC and The Times in
appreciation Of the baseball broad

from hospitals, fire-houses and other
places where there are shut-ins, but
a surprising number come from
housewives who are evidently lis

Letters are coming in from out
of town, too, showing that WRC Is
being heard clearly as far rs 200

large number of letters have come
from Baltimore, where Bill Sweets
