batteries. They were supposed to | have been fixed. but through a mis- | understanding the repair man was instructed not to visit our home ast | evening, when he should have been asked to pay us call. He wasn't in structed by us, however, because we were heartily In favor of it. So again | we fare forth to seek out the domi- cile of the radio expert and to beg | his forgiveness and to bring him to | our shack.
 There wasn't much static last eve | ming and there wasn't much volume | either. We listened to the louder sta- | tions and when we tried to tune in l others which were away down in | volume, we could hear the bloopers bowling away on them, sure sign | that others were having bad luck | too. There's where the bloopers | come in handy. One can always tell | whether the fellow operating one of those dreadnaught regeneratives is wildly trying to bring something in or is just fooling around messing things up. Last night they seemed anxious, like fleet-footed deer rush. ing back and forth when they think they are in danger. The bloopers tried to bring in stations with pa- thetic insistence and the only trouble was that we had to listen to 1t all.
 No matter where we tuned we found bloopers. They were even squealing on WIZ and WBZ. WHO'D, Miami, had two or three lowering around and every station seemed to be troubled in the same way. eve say, 'every station." We only ! brought in about five).
 Let's get started. We Covered" the late programs last evening, since we were unavoidably detained else where until about 10:50 o'clock. When we tuned in WBZ, Jack Dem nys orchestra from WIZ was on the air. Looking at The World Through | Rose-Colored Glasses was superbly 1 done, as such q number would have { 10 be to get over at all. The station was as clear and loud as we have ! ever heard it and there was not the ! least bit of distortion which usually [ affects that transmitter. The orches- i tra presented a clever arrangement i of the number, a piano solo in the i manner of the well known Lee ] 1-o NF the cheapest popular driyel, featur- ! ed the performance. A delicious sax ophonc section did it's share to put | the number over
 Have you noticed a familiar voice at WSBC, Chicago, lately? Well, if you have, that voice belongs to Jerry Sullivan, formerly the star an nouncer at WQJ, and a singer of no i mean ability, as far as the rem dition of popular ballads goes. Jer- rvs familiar "Chee-CAW-go" is fa-
 miliar to everyone and it can be
 heard nightly, except Monday, from WSBC.
 At WHO'D. Miami, a station which
 comes through rain or shine, Fred
 A. Tcnaro, if we got the name right,
 sang several tenor solos of merit. 1 One of them was "A Dream,' that
 well known selection, and we couldn't help thinking of Evan Will
 Hams, a famous tenor, now dead
 who used to sing that selection. Ten aro's voice is comparable to that of Williams, with the exception that Tenaro has not the control that Will Hams possessed, His tonal abilities are not so well developed, but his voice is very pleasant, notwithstand- ing.
 Gertrude Coesdesky. WTlC's ju
 venile popular song singer, or any hing you choose. reappeared before the mike of that station last evening, without any previous announcement. Just by luck did we happen to tune l in on a program by this favorite Of OUTS. She certainly has the ability to | put over popular songs in good I shape "Where'd You Get Those ! Eyes?" How Many Times and My | Dream of The Big Parade were i three of the selections offered by ! this youthful star. Wed like 10 see 1 her name on the program next timc' SO we can hear her entire program, | that's all. WTlC program director please note.
 We heard one selection Of an or gan recital from WPG, Atlantic City, which came through in good shape. This number was March of The Spanish Soldiers All we have to say is that the s. s. must have been walking pretty slowly,
 
 At WBA1., Baltimore. that sta tion's dance orchestra, offered in its usual dignilied and pleasing manner, When l Dreamed l Danced the Last Waltz With You" and What Was 1 10 Do When l Fell in Love With You?" two long stringers, Both ac- coptably, however.
 We have just received advices from the publicity department of WFBlI, New York, to the effect that the call letters of that station will be changed to WPCH tomorrow night at midnight, for what reason we haven't been informed. It's prob ably just a part of the general change which is taking place at the | station, however. since big things are promised for next year and 1t IS eN- peCted that WPCH will take it's place among the foremost stations in the cast whon those changes are consum-
