Through he Static

Well--(business Of rubbing hands h satistactionl-last night was pret- " fair Static was practically a minus quantity and distortion was another. There was good volume on all sta tions, making an all around success ful evening. And sos your old man.
 McEnellys Singing orchestra Is back on the air and last night the first fall and winter concert from Cocks Butterfly Ballroom, Spring field, was offered. We didn't tune in until the last selection. the title Of this being, "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby" The orchestra sounds just as we'll as It did before the summer letup and the singers have the GUS tomary pep. The trombone and piano showed up in great shape during this selection. It might net do any harm 10 say that McEnelly's orchestra broadcasts from WBz.
 
 From WEE we went to WTIC and heard the Colt Park Municipal or chestra. This band, while an excel lent one, cannot approach McEnelly's for the single reason that the or chestrattons are not as colorful. We heard My Kid" Tn Shadowland." "Pango- Pango Maid, Pretty Pup py," Madeira" and another, the name of which we did not get. Dur ing the intermissions, George Dunn rendered several selections, Vocal,
 The celebration Of the tooth anniversary of 42nd street. New York, was held at WRNY last even ing. An interesting talk was given by Mrs. Major of the Princess the ater, who told something of the his tory of that playhouse. She proved to be forceful speaker and, unlike many women who talk before the mike, did not give out the impress sion that she was talking to a crowd of half-wits morons or children. | Nobody Loves Me Now" was the offering of some unidentified woman singer.
 WISE lat Atlanta, Georgia. piloted | by Lambdin Kay, sprung a leak just off shore and vas forced to put into 1 port for repairs. During that time we heard part of selection on the organ of the First Presbyterian church, Atlanta, Dr. Charles Sheldon 1 at the console. It wasn't long, how ever before the repairs were com 1 plated and WSB steamed away, leav- ing our loudspeaker with a placard | painted thereon, bearing the word, l Silence"
 WHAS at Louisville came in with out the accompaniment of whistles from carrier waves of other stations, | surprising fact. Usually WOR or WHIT or some other station is oper- ating at the same time on the 400 meter wavelength, with the result that the offering sounds like the broadcast from a convention of pea nut stands. Through ,WHAS we heard some of the best whistling solos we have ever heard via radio. Usually whistIing does not go over very big on tn eair. It becomes a screech far from musical. But the solos last evening were natural, in fact they sounded as if someone were {, Whistling in the room.
 Miss Frances Sellers was the | whistler and she dashed off Follow The Swallow" while we listened open-mouthed. She then furnished a perfect obligato to soprano solo, Sing Again. and we applauded viz orously and with much gusto.
 WLW at Cincinnati was strangely unhampcred by either fading or static. The WLW feature orchestra presented United States Fleet" march. After marching around the room for several hours, we bumped against a chair and broke log-ha' ha, ha. (the ha-ha's denotins mirth).
 A dance orchestra playing from KDkA brought our evenings efforts to close. Among the numbers were ! Save Your Sorrows For Tomorrow and "Flag That Train!" Came in 1 pretty fair.
 That's sll for today, thanks.
