| lections be dug up from somewhere? :? Bird in Gilded Cage" Moth and the Flame" and others. There are | lots of them. Give the audience a rest from sidewalks of New York" |" Annie Rooney" and Rosie O'Grady." They go hand in hand with no regard for some others that might be just as interesting. Well, that wasn't the entire fault of the Serenaders, since every group offers the same shopworn three as it's idea of the good old days. But Side walks is getting as oppressive as was "Yes, We Have No Bananas" and that's saying a great deal. But, to get back to WTIC, the group was excellent and we look forward to hearing the boys again. They have violin, piano, banjo and a vo- calists.
 We heard part of the final episode of the play Summer Widowers" as presented from WIZ. This was the story of four men whose wives went away for the summer. The men stayed at home and the wives sus- pected them of going about with other women and the husband on the other hand were sure that their wives had been going about with other men. Well, the end of the play left everything just as muddled as ever and we we were glad when somebody said that they might pre- sent some more of it later.
 We enjoyed the offering, in spite of the fact that WIZ was cutting transmission capers again. Col Davis who took the part of Old Man Donaldson in the Gems of Ro- nance series, was active in last nights play and his voice was easily recognizable. The first episode of the play, presented some time ago, was highly enjoyable, and it was an- nounced that women were rfot sup posed to listen to it. They were asked to tune in on some other sta ton until the episode was over. Well,
 
 the station from women telling them how much the first part was en- joyed. We would have suggested that if they didn't want the women to listen, they should have commanded the ladies to listen in and then none Of them would have heard the play.
 
 Well, we remained with WIZ while it had a fit of tantrums, or whatever it may be called. The sta tion faded out so that it could hard ly be heard and then it rushed in so loud that the dishes in the china closet shook. That went on for some time and we felt as if we were on the mighty ocean with a storm in sight and the waves leaping higher and higher. The Reading Revelers, with Norman Brokenshire at the helm, went on one of their trips. The program, what we heard of it, was deeply sentimental although the vo- cal work was worth listening to, and the violin solo, also. Mary Lou" was offered as a violin number and then in close succession came Just as the Sun Went Down." When You Are Away Dear" as tenor solo, and My Wild Irish Rose" by the quartet.
 The final number on the program by the Chalfonte trio was loudly done, thanks to WPG. Atlantic City. It was also well done. It was 70, Sole Mio." Ho-Hum. We heard VEAL, Baltimore on several occasions in the course of the evening, and we again marVelled | at the clarity with which the station was heard. A staff night was being held and the performers included 1 George Bolek, pianist; Katherine | Whitelock. violinist, and several oth- CTS. One of Bolek' numbers was l 'Mazurka in B Minor" by Chopin. 1 \ mazurka has been described as a | Polish foXtrot by the Herald music | sage.
 WICK, Detroit, and WEAF, New i ' ork, came in loud, the former with | a band concert and the latter with | Moment Musical, regular weekly |
