Through The Static

Last night turned out better than was expected, Although Q terrific snow storm ragged In this vicinity, conditions were favorable on the radio. There were occasional dashes Of static and at times steady hum Was noticed, However, stations did not fade as much as has been the habit for the past week and most programs came through clearly.
 WLW, Crosley Radio Corporation. at Cincinnati, opened it's new station iast evening, This station has a five thousand watt output and was de- signed so that the station would per coIa'e into every set in the country. apparently They did not get away 50 big last night. Transmission was poor and the evenings program was ruined by the roughneSs of reception from that station. They had good dancn orchestra out there, too. It is ! hoped that the next broadcast will seo improvement.
 Jacquos Cartier, head Of CKAC, Montreal, acted as announcer dur ing the hockey game between the Boston Bruins and the Canadians broadcast from the Boston Arena by WEE. Cartier is blessed with a per- feet broadcasting voice and even whispers, providing that he makes them, can be heard clearly, WEES transmission was excellent last night, 1 the customary generator roar being almost out of the proceedings.
 The ROSson Entertainers, coupled with Wcndall Hall, provided good share of the evenings program from WHAS, Louisville, last evening. WHAS has that peculiar power of l picking excellent entertainment, and ! though this station is on the air for only a short time each night, in con- ! parison with other stations, it is re- ! garde1 as one of the best in the ! country and noted for it's high class ! programs. The dance orchestra played "Of All My Wifo's Relations I Love Myself The Best" the first 1 time we have heard that old gag set l to music. l. was good. however. 1 There is no need of commenting on "The Fed Headed Music Makers program. Everyone knows Wendali ! Hall and what he can do.
 There was a flock of dance or chcstras on the air last night and all of them were good, an unusual state 1 of affairs. As it is always necessary 1 to pick the best, we will cast our vote for the Meyer-Davis Le Paradis cafe delegation. This band is not one l oe the so-called "hot" type, Blare is 1 missing absolutely and the work of i the musicians is not covered lip by noise. The saXophOne section of this orchestra is the main feature and the peculiar blending make for mu- sical dance selections When this or CheStra plays q number the listener 1 has the opinion that. somehow or other, 1t has been played as well as
 possible, Finished style, that's it., i finished style.
 leo Rcisman @l his Hotel i Brunswick orchestra, from WBI,
 provided excellent music from 1o:15
 until II o'clock. This band always
 sounds 10 Us us if there are not enough Instruments 60 the othore
 arc doing their best 10 cover mp this
 defect. The music sounded better last
 night, for some unknown reason.
 Possibly they hired somebody else. ! "Oh, How ] Love My Darling was
 one Of the best numbers. although
 MT. R"!sman's voice was prominent, as usual.
 WMBF, which is rapidly hecom- ing one of the faNorjto stations for northcrncrs, presented it's usual pro-
 gram last night from the Fleetwood
 hotel, Miami Beach. We listened to
 them for while after Springfield
 signed off. Perhaps others have mo-
 ticed this; tha, the announcer at ] WMBF makes everybody feel at
 home. He's the sort of fellow we'd like to invite home to dinner some
 Sunday. More announders like him
 would make programs from other
 stations much more pleasant to lis
 tan to, WIZ for example.
