the
Radio Dial
BY Ligtener-m

The Mems Club Of All Saints
Church, Chevy Chase, set a prece-
dent in local radio circles last
night, when it turned its parish
hall into a studio, and broadcast
an all-star radio program over
WCAP.
The bill included several Of
washington's premier radio en-
tertainers, including the Wash
ington Quartet, Frederick William
Vile and Gretchen Hood, soprano.
AS a program it was a master
piece, and il All Saints can pre-
duce that sort OF program we are
all for more from that direction.
It seemed rather strange to
hear Frederic William Vile tell.
ing over WCAP of his expert
ences as a broadcaster," nearly
all OF which have been over
WRC. The church audience gave
him a great hand.
The best musical numbers OF
the program were "Going Home"
from the Dvorak's New World
Symphony sung by the Wash
ington Quartette and Gretchen
Hoods "By the Waters Of Mime
tonka."
AS that last hectic game Of the
world series fades into the past
and we begin to come down to
earth again, 1t is interesting to
look back and compare the three
announcers who gave us the ac-
counts Of the games.
The general concensus Of
opinion among local fans seems
to be that Graham McNamee was
good, though not quite so good as
last year; that William M.
Sweets was just as good, though
handicapped by his method of
broadcasting which eliminated
the cheers; and that Quih Ryan,
may be good football an
nouncer In Chicago but that he
is not so good on a World Sc
ries.
And as one fan wrote, IF
Sweets can compare so favorably
with the direct broadcasting
when he is talking from the stu!
dio, what would he do IL he got
a chance to broadcast direct
from the park?"
