ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

President Coolidge has deliver
ed many addresses over the radio,
but last night we heard him in a
new role-that of honorary mod
orator of the National Council
Of Congregational Churches.
The audience of more than
5000 persons assembled in the
Washington Auditorium greeted
the President most enthusiastical-
ly and throughout his address
there was much applause.
In HIS usually well-rounded and
careful style he stressed the i'm
portance of religion to the coun-
try.
The Government and Constitu-
ton are based upon religion, and
there is no real diminution of
religious convictions among the
people.
Education will help to improve
social conditions and the Govern.
ment can help to enforce the
laws, but the real power is re-
ligion and true moral education,
and without them all else will
fail.
Every one knows that our
President is a deeply religious
man and his address carried con-
victfon and certainty that he
not only believes sincerely in
his doctrine, but practices It
daily.
Before the Presidents address
we had supper music by Sidney
Seidman's Hotel Shoreharn orches-
ira. This organization appears
twice. week on WRC's programs
and invariably furnishes good en-
tertainment.
The program last night was
made up almost entirely of re-
quest numbers, and featured 4
piano duet, which is unusual on
the air. We were glad to welcome
back our old friend Jack Nesbitt
after an absence abroad. He
has brought back number Of
new musical selections and his
voice was in splendid condition.
We hope to hear from him often
now.
At $40 the program was trans
ferred to New York through
WIZ and we heard Dvorak's
American string quartet. This
quartet is based on the negro
melodies of the South and makes
very interesting chamber music.
Our interest in this type Of mu-
sic is especially keen at present
as all music lovers are looking
forward to the opening, on Oc-
tober %, OF the Chamber Music
hall In the Congressional Library.
The string quartet was followed
by Wendell G.. Glover, organist,
in an interesting program. His
opening number was the Samson
and Delilah aria, which carried
us back to Sunday night. when
Nine. Louise Homer rendered it so
beautifully.
The New York program also
featured the Dextra Male Chorus
and violin and piano solos. The
chrous failed to come through ef-
fectively, however.
Pop" Wagner, in his initial APP
pearance over the air, gave his
audience of listeners thrill that
could only be equaled by a trip
to a pine bowl, such as that
which Washington and Baltimore
now boast. His experience with
Tommy Milton, when the speed
demon all but severed his toes.
made the writer look to his own
underpinnings so realistic was
his story. But when he related
his dental trouble with Harry
Hartz it made yours truly inspect
his own molars for fear he was
shy trio or more.
WRC's program also included
"Show Shopping" by Leonard Hall,
an interesting address by william
Restall, a recital by George Corn
well, pianist; the market sum-
maries, and closed with a dance
program from the Mayflower
Hotel, w. Spencer Tupman con-
Quoting.
After local signed off acquain-
lance was made with WBBM.
WBCN and WLIB, all Of Chicago,
putting on 1azzy programs.
VIDAL, of Baltimore, was con-
Quoting a preliminary test pro-
gram of about 276 meters, and
the way it came in there should
be no trouble in tuning it in.
This station is scheduled to broad
cast tonight with WGY and WIZ.
3XE, Richmond, Va, also was
caught conducting a test program
