To LEAVE VIZ


Only fair, as Compared with
the past two weeks, was loud

weekend. Many points usually
articuIate, In fixing dialling dis.
tances, gave forth nothing but
noise. while others not usually
heard, came through with fair
volume. The West and South
were the leading producers both

from other noises In the at

Midst radio artists and shows
and broadcast stations - wherever
one may roam, there is absolutely

weekend, when there was much to

BISHOP FREEMAN
RETURNS TO AIR
FOR those who Bvere lucky enough
to hear It, the sermon preached by
the Bishop Of Washington from the
Peace Cross at st. Adams and
broadcast by WRC yesterday after
noon. was one OF the big things of
the air service to loud speakers OF
the entire - hours. Bishop Free
man has been absent from the mi.
crophone for several months and
he celebrated his return with 9

that was worth any trouble one had
to tune It. The necessity Tor broad
Christianity and the obliteration OF
lnstItutionaliEm Ia the upliftment Of
mankind was the theme, which only
such thinkers az the plain spoken
bishop can adequately analyze.
The weekend began with an ex.

Band at WRC, evidently playing
one Of the programs that are being
rehearsed for the forthcoming con-

showed the sea dogs to be In first
class shape, but special interest was
given to the Brazilian opera over

'In q Persian Market" by Ketelby.
The soloists showed the need Of
more rehearsal before attempting to
truly represent to the outside world
their real ability with their instru-

John Corigliano, violinist, made
good the promise he has given on
the last three occasions he has ap'

interest. Corigliano produces a
very wonderful tone from his violin.
But more than that, he uses the
tone to reach down into the very
hearts of his listeners. We're glad
to note he will participate in more
Of the Atwater Kent endeavors.
