ment on his recital, He played at WBZ and his program was made up of Irish melodies and popular songs, Several radio fans in this city have told us that his recital was one of the best features on the air last night, and we're not inclined to dis agree with them,
 "The Wearing Of the Green" When Irish Eyes are Smiling" and several old favorites formed a part of the recital by the St, James the- ater orchestra, out of WBZ. This or chestra Is a regular Tuesday even ing feature of the Springfield station and has attracted many enthusiasts to WBz during its period on the air.
 A friend Of ours has just finished a three tube set and last night he called us 10 tell of the reception of WTAM's dinner concert Tt came in as clear as anything" says he. Then we thought of how many radio fans get sore when they don't bring in KGO every night. Wow
 
 We had more darned fun last night during the hour of music from WIZ. WGY and WBZ. You know, the llsteners-in were supposed to guess the names of songs and solo ists. Each song was announced by numbers and we found ourselves ] waiting for the warden 10 make speech. We heard tenor solos, con- trato solos and an English baritone singing Irish songs. We also heard Nitophone solo, something nice. Well, we guessed and guessed and | guessed. We guessed the names of Babe Ruth, Mayor Paonessa, Prcsi- dent Coolidge and others, but found | that they were not scheduled to broadcast last night. The music memory part of the contest proved easier, however, and we recognized My Wild Irish Rose" which was d great feat Of memory. That song was probably inserted to give the dummies courage and hope. Then the announcer made a crack that an American girl born in Michigan would sing a song. She sang "Oh, Promise nc" They cant fool us We tried to figure out the singers name by using some form Of the word, Michigan" but to no avail. The puzzles aren't correct, say we. Some one rendered a Nitophonc solo, en- titled, "Love6 Old Sweet Song" an other poser. The English baritone, surrounded by cordon Of police, rendered, Where The River shan non Flows"
 J. Andrew White, well known sports announcer, was at the micro phone during the music memory broad least. We would't class guess broadcast. We wouldn't class guess sports, but no doubt the people who arranged the broadcast knew more about 1t than we did. At any rate J. Andrews voice was as pleasing as usual and we had very pleasant time. The program throughout was good, although We did not remain throughout the presentation. Tho voices came through clear and wc enjoyed every minute of the concert WTICs first organ recital proved a success last night. The music came in loud and cleor and even the basi notes, which so often escase the sen sitive microphone, were faithfully re produced, forming an excellent broad cast. Robert H. Prutting, wei r known organist, was at the console l "Over The Hills" and Trailing Ar , butus" were two Of the numbers , The last is composition by MT Prutting.
 . Edward Roche, Hartford's ''sing ing cop," as he was billed, was hearC . to good advantage in a variety 0
 numbers. His voice was clearly re produced, put ne TdtueF eAdsSeIdlt' al times. He sang several reques numbers at the conclusion Of hi t prepared program.
 We ducked dance music last night l tuning out every station where or
 chestras of that kind were playing
 Shortly after 10 o'clock we decide l that sleep was essential. so We dis connected the "A" battery, rose iron t our chair, turned out the lights s stumbled over some fool thing tha y had been left in our path, and, nut , tering epithets, went to bed.
