MARINE BAND IS
LAUDED FOR
CONCERT
One of Best Ever, Last Night,
Listener-In Says, Sorry
He Missed a Part
BY LIsTENER-IN

The Marine Band played one OF
/ It's very best concerts over WRC
and connected stations last night.
The program was made up mostly
of marches and waltz selections and
gave an opportunity for some very
| fine solo work.
We were foolish enough during
| the early part of the concert to
stray and listen to some mediocre
music from out of town. In a few
| minutes, however. we were peni-
| tently hack home again, thankful
for the really good music from our
own station.
Although Norman Brokenshire
talks too much during the Sylvan
Theater concerts, probably because
| he has to fill the intermissions, he
does give some very good descrip-
tive sketches. Some Thursday night
we are going down to the Sylvan
Theater for the Marine Band con-
cert and see just how much of the
atmosphere he talks about is
| imagination.
Broke" by the way seems to be
doing the brunt of the announcing
from WRC. He does all the band
concerts and nearly all the dance
L
lant work to his able associates
Doctor E. A. Hooten, professor OF
anthropology at Harvard Univer-
| sity. will devote a full hour over
/ WIZ. Springfield, tonight to an ,ex.
| PLANTATION of the theory of evolution,
| which has been talked about so
much of late. His address viii be-
gin at s o'clock.
Outside of Presidential addresses,
| IL is a very rare thing to see a
radio station give over a whole
hour to one talk.
With only three more weeks to
4 go, Graham McGamee the telephone
| company's star announcer, is lead
ing the Radio Digest contest for
most popular announcer by mar
| gin Of $4,000 votes. His nearest
competitor, as before, is George Hay,
'the solemn old judge" of Wis,
Chicago.
