MARLOWE DEBUT
/. HAS THRILLS

Il With a crash Of static here and
there, lust to show that old reliable
trouble maker was still on the JOB,
the wave lengths again last night
gave dial tWiSters most anything
they wanted or had time to tune.
The tuning was fine, the tuner be-
ing forced to set the dials exactly,
and there was some interference
between stations I'm crowded Sec
iOnst-but the results were gener.
ally good, volume excellent and
clarity all that could be desired.
When Julia Marlowe intoned the
words, "Then You'll Remember
Me-" youthful voice In the
BACKGROUND sang the music. during
the Eveready Hour which WEAF
and WRC sent to loud speakers last
evening, there was a throb in the
hearts of thousands of listeners
who had anxiously awaited her
coming to the microphone. The
words, the infection of their syl.
tables and the meaning OF them,
came from Julia Marlowe-but the
music that belongs to them, that IS
definitely associated with them, was
the music of youth-in the back
ground!
Perhaps there viii be no more
impressive program in celebration
Of Armistice Day than that which
Miss Marlowe dominated In the
feature period of the evening 8
radio program. Her recitation OF
seThe Battle Hymn Of the Republic"
was q magnificent effort--worthy
of the great poem. the greatness or
which is receiving belated reeognl'
fion not only from critics or sucn
works, but the general public. There
seemed to be q bit too much or the
tragedy OF war keyed into the pro-
gram-but it was well conceived
and finely executed.

tions-one from Romeo ana Juhet
and one from Tanning OF the
Shrew''-the entire program seemed
20 reflect tragedy. And these two
excepted numbers had just touen

FINE PROGRAM OF
HOTEL ORCHESTRA
Not the least important thing one
notes on the wave lengths these
long evenings Is the excellent music
that is coming from the Washing
ton hotel orchegtras in general
and the program OF the Raleigh
Hotel contingent under the dire'c-
ton of Durward Bowersox in par
ticular.
The Raleigh players entertained
for the first hour of the WRC
broadcast last evening with a most
embitionus program that not even
the wrecking OF a cello could mar
but slightly. The came Milton Cross
and the spark plug advertisers from
WJz-with Mr.. Cross again tnton-
ing the announcements.
While these things were happen
ing for WRC, at WMAL Ambrose
Durlxin's baritone voice was heard
In a brief recital and later. the
Dnimitable dialect stories OF Alfred
EaIcoHer amused the audience of
the same station. VIII Pierson like
wise reintroduced Alice B. Harvey,
pianiste. to radio listeners In an ex-
tended program.
VIENNA GOAL
OF TOURISTS
Radio tourists accompanied the
chatty Malcolm LaPrade to Vienna
most enjoyable time. after which
they adjourned to the lie Paradis1
restaurant and heard the Meyer
Davis Dance Orchestra deliver itself
Of a characteristic program.
The Wf2C evening was finished
In unusually good style with a
piano recital from the skiliful
fingers OF Gertrude Kreiselman.
More concerts are promised from
the same artist for the future
the announcement of which was
most welcome. Radiotics can help
Miss Kreiselman prepare her pro-
gram and at the same time hear
b number Of their favorite piano
pieces II they will make their
requests now rather than after she
starts playing her next program.
There were many things on the
outside wave lengths TO attract and
entertain. We tuned again the
clever weather report from WHIT,
Chicago and warn listeners who are
not familiar with this feature to
tune it at the first pportunity-it
Is worth hearing.
