ROXY GANG
UNDER B0WES
SUCCEEDS
Program Is Very Similar to
old-time Offerings, Though
Somewhat Heavier
~ LlITsTENER.IN

Roxy 8 C1anS--1LS new LlIlSS IflAI
of the Capitol Theater Gang, Is a
little too cumbersome-is carrying
on under the leadership Of Major
Edward Bowes almost the same as
in the old days when Roxy was per-
sonally leading and directing.
The program last night seemed
very much the same as the pro-
grams were when Roxy was run
ming them, with the exception that
the stage presentation was a little
heavier" than those Roxy used to
arrange.
Major Bowes Is doing good job
in his new position. Although he
has an entirely different personality
from Roxy, he may develop q popu-
larfty as widespread as that OF the
former leader OF the gang.
In fact. it would not be sur
prising to see the gang gain many
friendships through its new leader.
There were many listeners who
didn't care for Roxy,s style and
among this group there may os
some who win like the gang much
better under the new leadership.
But for the big majority of fans,
no one will ever take Roxyss place.
In order to obtain the Washing
ton Auditorium for the scene Of
the second annual radio show, the
Radio Merchants Association has
moved the date OF the show a week
ahead, making the new date the
week Of September % instead OF the
week Of October 5.
As in the last show, Govern
mental exhibits will be a big fea-
ture among the attractions. IN
addition nearly all the big national
manufacturers have engaged floor
space for exhibits.
VIII Pierson, genial manager of
station WCAP Is on his vacation,
which accounts for the frequency
with which we have been hearing
lesser known" voices from the
downtown station. Paul Gascoigne.
Persons associate is. still on the
job however and is holding down
the managerial fort alone, in addi-
ton to doing q large share Of the
announcing.
An old.time Bob Lawrence
community concert viii top
WCAP's program for tonight. The
program, which will feature the
concert band OF the Army Music
School, will be broadcast from the
Masonic auditorium. Among the
other attractions will be a COM
munity chorus of 100 voices.
After Bob Lawrence signs off at
10 o'clock WCAP will broadcast the
last hour of the big Radio Page
