the
Radio Dial
By Listener-m

Four American singers last nlght
blended their voices together to
: give us some of the most beaut1fuI
Christmas music that has ever
been on the air.
Throughout the splendid program
that opened with "Sing, 0 Heav-
ems" rendered by the full quartet
to the closing number, 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem" also sung by
the quartet we heartily enjoyed
ourselves.
The recital was given added
strength and individuality by the
solo numbers presented by the art
lists in short song groups. Each
artist rendered solo group OF two
numbers. The best OF these we
thought were 1.-THE Angels Song,
by William Simmons, baritone;
Come Unto Him." by Jeannette
vreeland, soprano; .'The Birthday
OF a King" by Elsie Baker, con.
traIto, and "The Infant Jesus" by
the tenor Lambert Murphy.
The Capitol Family" program
was also filled with the spirit Of
Christmas last night.
Sigurd Nilsson, "The Viking,
opened the program with the song,
20 Little Town of Bethlehem" and
then later during the hour he gave
US the best of his voice in the little
song, "TI Forget You.
Majorie Harcum charmed us
again last night with her wonderful
voice in two OF her most familiar
selections, "Sorta Miss You" and
because Love You"
Tommy Dowd and the Hopeless
Opera, Company can't seem to stop
more than a minute for a few
songs and then must be OF some
where so last night they gave Us
a few numbers and then all left Tor
their homes for the Christmas
holidays.
Saturday night we got another
touch OF the Christmas spirit from
the program of the CrandalPs
saturday Nighters."
There were some exceptionally !
fine selections rendered during the
hour and q half in which they
entertained US.
After listening to their program
we caught some of the best dance
music we have had for some time
from the Spanish Village Orchestra.
