WILL PERFORM, A FEATURE

The first two of the series of five
one hour programs pubhcizing the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore, to be
b. oadcasted from station WIZ, lev
York, beginning next Monday LIGHT,
Oc.ober 4th, have been completed and
are now being rehearsed by the
group of noted artists who will con-
stitute the company of performers.
Edwin G. Totten, Publicity Director
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore AS
ISOLATION, who has been in New York
collaborating with the officials of
WIZ, and the recording artists, re-
turned to the Associations office at
Salisbury and said that everything is
in readiness to launch the programs.
He' stated that with rehearsals under
way and an abundance of highly en-
PERTAINING and interesting material
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore hour
should prove to be one of the most
popular periods among radio fans
throughout the country.
Under the arrangement with the
Radio Corporation of America Off
Gals, who own the WIZ broadcasting
station, the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore programs are scheduled to be-
gin each Monday night, promptly at
$50 o'clock, Eastern standard time,
and continue for one hour. This per
iod of the evening is rated as the
most valuable hour on each nightly
program. OF the ten million radio
owners throughout the country re-
cent survey shows that practically 80
per cent are tuned in by 8 o'clock in
the evening, and continue to enjoy
the programs from that time until n
bout 10 p. M. This means that Del
Mar-Va hour goes on the air when
practically every radio fan within
reach of WIZ will hear about the
world famous Eastern Shore.
Officials of the Del-Mar-Va Asso-
citation express qualification in hav-
ing been able to secure group of
noted recording artists, for their pro-
grams. Dale Wimbrow, the Del-Mar-
Va songster, who has won his way to
a sound position in broadcasting, rec
ord making and professional theatre
cal circles in New York City, will
feature the Del-Mar-Va hour. Mr..
Wimbrow is supported by the Carl
Fenton Recording Orchestra of four
teen pieces, who will be known as the
Eastern Shore Serenaders. Walter
luncheon, the leader, is recognized
as one of the best recording directors
in the country. The Misses Gladys
Rice and Jane Smith are both pro-
fessional singers of unusual ability
and have been associated with several
of the foremost attractions in legiti-
mate New York theatrical produc-
tions. Douglas Stanbury, tenor, is q
vocal and talking artist widely known
and holds high place among those
sought by broadcasting stations.
The first program to be offered
next Monday evening is "a Cruise
Down the Chesapeake" Too much
speaking is not permitted over the
radio; but between numerous vocal,
orchestral and other musical NUM-
bers the story of the Eastern Shore
will be told in dialogue and topical
songs. The. entertainment is so weH
balanced and the continuity SO
carefully prepared that there will not
be a single dull moment during the
Del-Mar-Va hour. Announcement viii

Del-Mar-Va program that a hand
somely illustrated book, descriptive, of
