Nhhs NH"N HlEe ucN UluCk on west Main street but the gent who paint ed all those famous pictures which hang in the Louvre and the Vatican and the Dresden Museum and the office of the town clerk of Berlin and lots of other places. The talk was interesting. as presented from WTIC, and We heartily enjoyed it. Jill interrupted with her usual line Of remarks, as did most Of the oth- CTS, including Villain Gus and Bill Sykes.
 A very successful thunder storm was staged in the vicinity Of New Britain on Saturday evening and we enjoyed it heartily, wondering just when one Of those darts of lightning vas going to do fireman act down our leadin. Nothing happened except much concentrated static. which had been going on all evening and mere ly got louded and funnier during the storm. We shut up shop until the rage of the elements had abated. How's that?
 After awhile We tuned in on | WTAM, Cleveland, and noticed what miracles the storm had wrought The static calmed down to a great ex- tent and the air was quite clearer. Stations came in louder and every thing. We planned 10 spend a pleas ant evening with Ev Jones and His Gang, but they quit over an hour earlier than usual in order that a pre- Easter service might be broad cast from one of Clevelands B churches.
 The Manhattan quartet, from WIZ offered Easter Bells Are Ring ing" as one Of their numbers. Trained singers, everyone of them, and they were placed just right be- fore the mike, in order that the full tone might be brought out,
 In answer to a question sent in by D. E, L,. we'll say No" but you can get q prescription from any good doctor.
 Frank Peterson, from WBZ. offer ed "Dinah," interestingly, accom- panied by well handled banjo. That was the only number We heard by him, drat it!
 Later in the evening we tuned in on WLS, Chicago, which faded to some extent, but which maintained plenty of volume, never the less. Ford and Glenn and Ralph Emerson took trip in the WLS Twin Wheeze, breeding through the country and keeping everybody in good spirits by means of impromptu, clean humor. Songs were sung for the customers and Ralph played numerous organ selections for those listening in. The Wheeze worked over time, rushing from one town to another in order that listeners in might hear the numbers requested by them. The jokes sprung were not too hot, but the boys admitted that and the three Of them sounded like three youths sitting around in someone's parlor, just passing away the time with wise cracks and songs. Each Saturday evening the Twin Wheeze program can be heard and it's reallyy worth waiting up for.
 WIZ, New York; WDWF, Provi- :. dence, and WEEI. Boston, were among the stations heard through the mass Of squeals yesterday after - noon. The convention of bloopers has grown 10 a family reunion, with all the women folks talking at the ! top Of their voices and making lots of racket. Every once in q while the \ men can be heard to groan, away down in their throats because the .; ladies are making so much noise. ]t i was a real reunion yesterday. Wow. '' What racket.
 z A well arranged play, "The Boy ' Who Discovered Easter" was offer , ed from VICES, New York, last eve ming and, in spite of some fading the station came through we'll The - play was well acted and a radio Sci was used to good advantage in the IL production. The piece was truly 1T keeping with the season and, al though some of the dialogue wa: rather lengthy and booliy, we en- joyed it.
 Easter music was a feature Of the day, of course. Fans enjoying th' compositions associated with thi: season were able 10 drink their ill from the wide variety Of materla presented yesterday and all las week, for that matter. Nearly ever! station offered at least one program designed to observe Holy Week ol Easter Day The Easter services yes terday were especially noteWorth! and all the beauty of them cam' through the speakers, in spite of th' fact that listeners could not see th'
 masses of flowers and the colorfu gatherings at the various houses 0
 worship.
