The glee club, orchestra and JAZZ

COMPLETE PROGRAM OF
SCHUBERT MUSIC
The music of Franz Schubert
tone poet and ron1ancist for the
ages-will be the entire program
of the Formica orchestra in Gin
cinnatf which WLW broadcasts at
10 o'clock. Chief among the fea-
lures will be the exquisite I'm

Those among music lovers who
wouldn't listen to symphony, but
rave over musical comedy, Will
find that when Blossom Time"
was prepared from Schubert's mu-
sic for the cash customers it's most
popular number was the love song,
which is the Unfinished Sym
phony's'' theme in waltz time.
This has been said before in print
but re-saying 1t might tempt some
one to hear the famous love song In
it's pristine beauty. Tuning WLW
at 10 o'clock will do it--as well as
bring forth number Of other lovely
tunes.

music is made by the vibrations Of
a column of air passing between
certain muscles of the singers

of the vibrations depends entirely
on the flexibility of the muscles

them.

One of the most difficult problems
which had to be- solved by the COM

will face exactly the same conditions,
with possible varying ideas as to now
these conditions should be met. 1t is
an acknowledged fact that a pilot rid

established confidence in the man
plotting the plane, or Is of such a tenn

he considers a fault, Is subject to
greater nervous strain than is the
pilot himself. On short flight this
is not serious, but on a long flight,
such as the coming Pan-American
flight, these men will be thrown con-
stantly together for months as flying
companions, and unless properly
paired each unavoidably will be- har-
boring mental criticisms of the other
until finally the patience Of one will
come to an END. Nothing could be
