New Britain herald., 1925-11-19

know how long,
CNRO at Ottawa came in extreme
ly loud, When we tuned in a woman
was telling the radio audience about
her first ride In an airplane. It
proved interesting, but 1t didn'l
compare with the yarn rocounted by
a member OF the Herald stnn, who
got mixed up in a stunt competition
the first time he went up.
Roxy and His Gang were on the
air from WEAF, but great amount
OF code interfered with the program
at times, Roxy was up 10 his usual
wisecracking before the mike, but
when the group got down to bust
ness We enjoyed hearing a quartet
sing Way Down Yonder. in the
Corn Field"
VITO and WIN put on excellent
programs of dance music at about
the same time. We heard BIZ Tas-
silIo's orchestra play Brown Eyes"
and SHOW Me the Way to Go
Home" later switching to the New
York station, where Fletcher Hen
dersons band presented "Rhythms
Of the Day" one of the hits from
the "Nanities," We enjoyed both
presentations and maryelled at
WINS volume and steadiness.
Guy Lombardo and His Royal
Canadians occupied the place of in
tercst around 800 meters. WTAM,
from which station the band was
heard was also afflicted with great
volume and the well known dance
orchestra has never put over bet
ter program. Yale's marching song.
"Boola-Boola" and that nonsense
ditty of nautical men,"Shc Was Just
a Sailors Sweetheart" proved sat
isfying, like well advertised Gig
aret. The orchestra sang the chorus
of the latter selection.
The first fight broadcast ever heard
from Cleveland was sent out last
evening when Gene funny met
somebody by the name of Briscoe, or
Ricco. We don't know which and no
one else here does, since the sports
editor is i'll. At any rate, funny got
the decision. the announcer tried to
be too funny and made poor at
tempt to play the jovial sport au-
thority. He failed-miserably.
WCAE at Pittsburgh also came in
loud. The Nixon restaurant Orches-
ira played, in an excellent manner,
"Paddlin' Madeline Home" Got No
Time" and The Baby Looks Like
Me-"
KTHS at Hot Springs was heard
for the second time since We have
had a radio set. The station came i'll
fairly loud, but extremely clear The
Meyer Davis dance orchestra enter
tanned with Are You Sorry, a heav-
lily scored orcheatration being
thrown into play.
CHYC at Montreal was another
aerial scorcher. The Northern Elec-
trio company's station isn't heard so
very often nowadays, but last night
on All meters, it made up for the
few times it broadcasts, The Ritz
Carlton dance orchestra played "a
Kiss in The Moonlight" also from
the "Vanities." Gay Paree, The
Vanitics," Merry, Merry" and
artists and Models" are certainly
getting publicity for their songs
Each evening several orchcstras are !
heard playing selections from these /
shows.
Just one more item. It's an Az |
story but will prove of interest TO
radio fans. Here it is:
Philadelphia - Plans to have the |
historic Liberty Bell rung for the |
first time over the radio from indie

Der 81 to usher in the new year
