the
Radio Dial
BY Listener : In

In spite Of all the specially
planned Armistice Day programs,
there was probably nothing on the
air last night as appropriate trib-
ute to the meaning of the day as
the eighth and last Of the Points
of Progress series, which dealt
with the treaty of Versailles and in
cidentally the events leading up to
Opening with a. scene laid in one
of the cantonments on this side Of
the Atlantic, the night the arp1istice
was signed, with a soldier chorus
singing all the familiar old war
time songs, the listener lad the
spirit of the, day brought to him
more wildly probably than in any
other way.
After the atmosphere had been
properly laid, G.. H. Fuller, that
remarkable raconteur who has been
able to make dry history so interest
ing that it has made a great hit
in competition with lighter and
more entertaining programs, con-
cluded his series of talks with the
story of the Versailles treaty and
the events leading up to it.
The hour was beautifully and
delightfully."- closed with Kipling's
= "Recessional," making one of the
most pleasant hours we have ever
spent In front of a loud speaker.
1t is to be hoped that the powers
that be will see fit to inaugurate
another series similar to that which
has just been concluded by Mr..
Fuller
From the first talk on the series
rdi
RichelieuF up to one last night,
the Waterman hours have been
the finest kind of educational en-
tertainment. And they have made
q great hit with the listening au-
dience.
Incidentally, If the Waterman
hours are not resumed, they will
leave a hole in an otherwise al
most perfectly balanced program.
For the past few Wednesdays
WEAF and WCAP have offered
exceptional bills.
Close harmony by the Bon Bon
Buddies, classical and popular
music by the Ipana Troubadours
and sugared education by the
Points of Progress series have COM
bined to make the kind of. eve
ning's entertainment we should
have more often.
