MUSIC TO DOMINATE NIGHT AIR
Around.
the
Radio Dial

A clever piece of studio engineer
ing was put across by WRI last
night in picking up Frederic VIII
lam Wile's address at the banquet
of the American Medical Associa-
ton in between the Brunswick pro-
gram and It's own hook-up with
WIZ, WBZ and WGY.
When parts Of a program are
run in conjunction with other sta
tions, it is absolutely necessary that
everything run according to seized
ule or the other stations will be
kept waiting.
Last nights program called for
picking up Wile's address at the
Willard at 1Olo'clock sharp. During
the hour previous wRC had broad
cast the Brunswick program along
with a half dozen other stations.
They had to cut off the final an
nouncements on that program to
get to the Willard on time.
Then Vile talked about ten min
utes longer than the fifteen min
utes allotted to him, which again
threw them little off. Although
WRC was scheduled to start a pro-
gram by Mrs Helen Corbin Heinl
at 1915 for the other three stations,
1t stayed with Vile eight minutes
over time. and when he had not
concluded then they cut off from
him. Meanwhile WIZ, WGY and
WIZ had been standing by with
nothing in the air.
Knowing the obstacles to be met
in picking up a banquet speech at
an exact time and keeping 1t to
a set period of time, it was a
daring thing to even attempt. But
they managed it without missing
anything of vital importance.
And Vile by the way was at his
brilliant best. His defense of the
Dawes plan of 1925" was met
with hearty applause at nearly
every sentence. The doctors evil
IDENTIFY agree that the Senate pro-
cedure needs an operation imme
diately.
The speakers wit and inimitable
phraseolOgy were running at a high
pitch last night. Every sentence
had a biting metaphor Of the kind
that has made Vile famous. His
defense of the twenty-five dollar
week scribbler' from the attack
of the "seventy-five hundred dollar
year babbler" was particularly
effective.
ListenArs-in within the past week
have had a chance to hear both
sides OF the comment on Vice
President Dawes famous inaugural
address. And both the attacking
and supporting address have been
made from the same banquet room
over the same broadcasting station.
WRC must be impartial.
Mrs. Heinl gave a recital on the
piano for re-broadcasting in New
York city which should have made
loyal Washingtonians thrill with
pride. Her rendition of "A Gar
den in the Rain" was particularly
beautiful.
We wish New York and Sche-
nectady might have heard Artie
Fay Guilford in her song recital.
Miss Guilford who has one of the
best soprano voices in the city.
has always been a favorfte with the
local radio audience.
William Spencer Tupman. director
OF the LIE Paradis Meyer Davis
Band is gaining fame for himself
with his rejuvenations Of old time
songs and operate tunes to the
needs of present day dance music.
The addition of another station.
WBZ. Springfield, to the chain OF
broadcasting stations which viii
put the LIE Paradis music on the
air every week, is evidence OF the
popularity being gained by that
organization.
The addition of WIZ to WRCs
string of regular re-broadcast sta
tions. makes a total Of four OF the
most powerful outfits in the coun-
try. 1t is beginning to stack up
favorabIy against WCAP's long list
