New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1925-10-21

Next, ladies and gentlemen, we
have WEAR at Cleveland, broad
casting direct from the stage OF
Loew's State theater. A singer. I'M
Identified. gave US Hello Sammy"
something we had never heard be-
fore and something we are not par
ticular about hearing again. Then
came Al Lelster's orchestra In a
collection of snappy jazz. The
numbers we're all new ones. either
that or the orchestrations were 30
ultra-iazzy that we didn't recognize
the themes.
The Hotel Mayhower orchestra at
Washington. through WIZ and
WGY. ratified ow SOME rafting good
numbers under the rafting good d.
rection OF J. Spencer Tupman,
Brown Eyes. Why Are You Blue?"
and SHOW Me The Way To Go
Home" the great American drink
ing song, were offered. WGY's trans
mission Is terrible, lately, Have you
noticed It?
We visited tho Red Apple club at
WICK, Detroit, volume being extra
ordinary there. Charlotte somebody
sang Lonesome" in such a manner
that we almost took the train for
the automobile city. Then Bob
OBrien with his athletic uke strum-
med will You Come Back" max
Ing us think that everybody out
there in Detroit was lonesome. We'd
suggest that Charlotte and Bob get
together on that.
You folks are missing something
II you fail to tune In on KDkAs
late concerts on Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings. Extraordinary presen-
tations from the Million Dollar
Grand theater, featuring many OF
the country's vaudeville headliners
and most popular dance orchestras,
make the programs Of sterling quail
ity. Last night Art Landry's orches-
ira entertained, one Of thehumbers
being Suite Sixteen" The station
came through loud and clear. too.
We'll, folks, we had some tour Of
the country after 1890. We first Wis
tied WHO at Des Moines, where the
Bankers Trust Little Symphony was
dashing off some highly classical
numbers. We didn't remain long, as
the program was not too inviting.
We hit KPRC at Houston, Texas,
just as the final selection by dance
orchestra was being brought to a
conclusion. The station came III
with lots of pep and. In spite Of the
nearness to WPG, Atlantic City.
there was no interference between
the two.
VINO at Memphis came in for the
first time this year. A soprano solo,
LIST was singing something about
jogging Along the Road" The
Tennessee station was not loud and
had tendency to fade out OF the
picture for hours at a time.
WFAA at Dallas. Texas, surprised
us when we brought it in on about
ESQ meters. Ford and Glenn of WIS.
Chicago. who are visiting at the
Texas State fair, or something like
that, sang close harmony for us, one
OF the numbers being Moonlight
and Roses" in foxtrot time. Some
distortion made reception only fair.
f. Two new stations were testing last
night, both of them coming In loud,
but with considerable distortion. One
Of the stations was at Richmond,
Virginia. The announcer used the
test letters and we didn't get them.
A violin solo by Senior somebody and
a vocal duet by two women was as
far as We got. The wavelength was
about ESQ meters. Another station,
WCAL or WPAL, at Baltimore,
was also testing and the signal was
as loud as that from Schenectady.
Distortion was marring the program
and piano solo sounded too tinny
to be entertaining.
And
That's all for today, thinks.
