possible TO bring in all kinds OF On.
Absence OF static, as usual, aided re,
cepuon considerably, and though
fading was present 1t wasn't trou-
blesome.
| Speech! ! thank you, my
friends!" Say, have you heard that
number? It's really slick, It's played
about every night from some sta.
ton. And it's also out on the rec.
ord (advt). But never mind. let's
| get down to business. We first struck
WIZ last evening. The Copley- Plaza
| orchestra came through with some
well played. though not momentous,
numbers, THE Conqueror" and Hin
doc Song" the latter being a wierd
combination OF tone values,
An enjoyable quartet program,
also from the Springfield station on
| the air. The Imperial Male quartet,
we'll polished organization, ran
through several selections. all OF
them being dashed off with great
finish. Comrades in Arms" annie
Laurie" and Uncle joe We're
among the selections on the long
program. Charles Platt bass, sang
The Trumpeter." a number which
Is acquiring popularity among quar-
| tets and sooists because Of its UNI
usual rythms.
We heard part of the Electric
Night program from WGY, and for
a change the station came in with
| out Its customary rasping. Whether
| the operators over at the Genera
Electric company are becoming
careless or whether it's just the air
| conditions, we don't know, but WGI
has been acting like hay-kicker for
the past several weeks. We didn't
stay long at the station. merely wait
ing to learn that Secretary Hoover
was speaking.
WGBB, New York, IL we heard
the call letters correctly offered
program Of songs by a Miss Weyant
Lulu Weyant is her full name, is
| considered a pretty slick composer OF
popular songs down there In the
village which insists upon calling
every other part of the country The
| Provinces" a remark which we will
let pass, considering that this col
umn Is read by men, women and
children. Well, anyway, In spite OF
the fact that Miss Weyant comes
from New York, she is an excellent
singer.
Miss Weyant sang WHY" one o.
| her own compositions for which She
has received over $500 requests, al
though Alabama is still casting 90
votes for Underwood. II Need Some
! one Like You" and Sine Day" were
| also featured.
We might say that until 1880
o'clock it was impossible to bring in
| any western station. Not that il has
anything to do with this paragraph,
| but we just thought of it and NIGH
| just as well put 1t down before We
forget It. Bill Tassillo's orchestra
from VITO popped up the air con-
siderably, playing waters of Mime
tonka," an original orchestration,
You'll Do 1t Some Day." which is
great song as long as the words
are left out, and Want a Little
Lovin'." A waltz number consisting
of group Of old timers was also
played.
WMBB, Chicago, the first western
station We brought in, wasn't a sue
cess by any means. The wave acted
as if it had the opinion 1t was a
part OF the ocean during a storm
and we felt rather seasick after lis. !
Speech" was one Of the numbers |
played, and we left In a hurry, just !
duCl<ing a musical saw solo.
At WHO, Chicago, Larry Bassett |
was making a mean job of several |
pldlp ScltCtiollH' liz "dS lCeIliy tlCNCl
and the way the old piano jumped |
around was gratifying. Sweet Geor-
gia Brown" Ida. l Do together
with a banjo duet, "Ly You See That
Girl of Mine, Send Her Home" COM
posed the program.
We heard WSM, Nashville's new
station, for the first time We were
surprised at the clarity Of the pro-
gram, although reception was not
very strong. The piano reproduction
of the song "Yearning" was strik-
| ngly realistic, and the tinny effect
so often met with when piano re-
citals go on the air, was absent. The
waltz song from Romeo and Juliet
was sung by soprano, although
| fading prevented Us from hearing
much of 1t.
The Willard Symphony in Dreams
of Love" Chat doesn't sound right
but we haven't time to change it,
attracted our attention for awhile
and then we went on TO
WLW. where we again heard
"Yearning" as piano solo, the artise
being Carl Bamberger. who was ex-
tremely clever.
