petition for the title OF most pop
ular radio announcer" in the Radio

We enjoyed the first act of De-
Koven's opera. Robin Hood, over
wCAP last night. The cast IN.
cluded some very beautiful voices.
OF course in judging an opera
taken from the stage as this one
was, it is not fair to compare 1t
with an opera which is given III
the studio for radio presentation
only. But last nights perform
ance would stack up well along
with any opera presentation, stage
or studio, that we have heard over
the air.
Our only regret was that the
second act, with the rollicking
Stein Song" was not broadcast
too.
Lightning crashes during the
opera resounded in our loud.
speaker in heavy bursts Of static.
but didn't ruin the performance by
a long ways.
