New Britain herald., 1926-04-06

things gradually improved until 1t was possible 10 bring in stations without the long, flowing beard of static.
 We made some off hand remark about Uncle Llgo Butterworth yes terday, If you remember, we said that he was expected to arrive in New Britain yesterday. We'll, he did, and we prevailed upon him to help us out with the column for to- day, He listened in while we went out Ono wise crack intended) and judging from the copy he handed to us this morning, he did q pretty good job Wen let him tell you about 1t.
 Mornin', folks. It's quite some ! time sencc I've had the opportunity 10 be here in your fair city, but l certainly like this town and l get | down here every time l can. Last night the feller what runs this col yum says 10 me, Uncle Lige. want you to write up the Through The Static colyum tomorrow and l says | to him, l says, Alright, son." So that's how it stands. Without sayin' nothin, I'll do my best.
 ihnnl Ia fife WYNN | New York city, where Joe Ward and ! his entertainers was takin' shot at entertainin'. ] liked some of it and some of it I didn't. What l liked J'll write down on this here paper and what 1 didn't 1 won't, ef it's all the same to you, The station come through very loud. Joe Ward q feller, sang, 50 Does Your old Man" and Let's Grow Old Togeth- CT" accompanied by the Orchestry, It was light program and was like the rest that that station puts out, sence somebody told me that that station never drew a sober breath in its life. Not that 1t drinks liquor, don't mean, but it just aint serus.
 WBZ. Springfield, one Of the sta tions which l like to listen to u home in FaifaX Center, como through with q weak program from the Capitol thcater in Springfield. lt seems that every time that station sends out music from the thoater the music aint clear. It's sort o' messed up like Mas kitchen aftel she's cooked yittleS for all the rela' tives on Thanksgiving Day. The or chestra played "The Double Eagle March," a right fine selection, anl then 1t went into some of them jazz pieces which l don't like, but whicf the feller what runs this colyun does.
 They was a station come in jus little below WIZ, New York city and 1 asked the folks what it wa and they says it was WLSI at Prov idence. Well, you couldn't hav'
 proved it by me, becuz the statl
 was so all fired powerful that every
 thing just sort of doubled lip. Sound
 ed like the time the hired man tel
 off the chicken house roof onto
 pile of tin roofn'.
 WIZ put on one of the slickes
 programs ] have ever heard, and e I do say it myself l heard lots o 'em. It was by the Reading R. R quartet and some musical 1nstru ment players. They was no nols what the soever and evcIythin
 come through just as plain as if yo ! was settin' down to the town ha 5 and the folks was up on the st"ge,e& = cept you couldn't see the big hole l the Versailles palace, caused by tha | Towners boy pushin' his foe l through the curtain, It was suppose l to be a trip on the Boardwalk Spe = cial and they was bells aringin' an l whistles ablown' like all get ou l Sounded like the Rutland railroa train gettin' under way, only tn l train rally got and the Rutland trai l spends most Of it's time gettin' an <. by the time it's got it's used up a S it's pOWer and has to wait q Spe
