Radio Dial
By Listener-In

When Atwater Kent made pos
sible the broadcasting Of such a
program as was heard last night
from WEAF and it's twelve as
ISOLATED stations, he earned the
sincerest thanks of all music
lovers.
The Atwater Kent hour has,
already becomes synonymous with
the best broadcasted music, apd we
feel sure that all Of the thou
sands who heard Nine. Louise
Homer last night were thrilled.
Nine. Homer is beloved by all
Americans, for she is one of us;
intensely human, wonderfully
charming, and possessed of a
beautiful deep contralto voice
that came over the air last night
in all it's lovely tones as clearly
as IL we were in the concert hall.
Her program had been carefully
selected.
The Samson and DeIilah aria
was wonderful and all the shorter
selections were calculated to touch
the heart and bring thrill to
the listener.
We enjoyed the two compost
tions by her husband, Sidney
Homer and regretted that she
did not sing the Banjo Song" by
him as printed in the program.
The recital seemed far too
short and we could scarcely be-
leve that the hour was over.
At the close Of her concert
Nine. Homer gave a delightful
little farewell talk and we ALI en-
joyed hearing her speaking voice.
Her accompanied, Miss Ruth
Emerson, should also be mention
ed as her work was excellent.
The Atwater Kent hour held
an unexpected treat for US all in
addition to Nine. Homer's songs,
for Signor Salvatore de Stephano
gave several selections on the
harp that were beautifully exc
cuted.
We are fortunate in hearing
this artist on the air as he is
stranger to all but the COM
paratively few who have been
able to attend his concerts.
We cannot leave the Atwater
Kent hour without mentioning
the announcing by Graham Nc
Nance.
He puts a personality into his
work that shows sincere interest
and as much to any program
he announces.
The early part of last evening
was devoted as usual to the Capt.
toll Theater program and it was
excellent.
While all the numbers were
good perhaps the most humanity
appealingly was the lovely
Mighty Like a Rose" sung by
Marjorie Harcomb for Captain
Nathan Williams at Walter
Reed Hospital.
The Saturday night program
was interrupted by an SOS.
causing a silence of about two
hours, breaking in after The adj
dress Of Major General Charles
p. Summerall in conjunction
with the U. s. army night pro-
gram.
This delay caused the Army
School Band to be omitted as
well as the Texans, Sanchez and
Milstead, singers of popular
songs, broadcast jointly with
WIZ.
CrandalPs Saturday Nighters
also were delayed by the SOS
and were forced to rush through
one of their longest and best
programs.
Otto F. Beck's recital on the
organ was very good. Two new
artists, Kate Smith, a singer OF
3 syncopated songs, and Sergeant
c. A. Davis, with demonstra-
ton Of whistling, received much
applause from the audience Of
the Metropolitan.
One of the outstanding features
Of the program was Hazel G.
Arth. Her duet with Highland
Randall, "Oh, That We Two
Were Maying," was exceptionally
good.

lures the weekly A. and P. Gypsy
