The Washington times., 1926-10-13
ARMY BAND IS
AGAIN On AIR

Returning to Washington and the
microphone after an absence Of
more than six weeks. the U. s.
Army Band. with Captain William
| Stannard to guide them. will take
spin on the wave lengths this
evening at 7:3O with the idea of
spreading melody through the loud
speaker harbors OF both WRC and
WEAF.
In Philadelphia, where the band
has been doing all sorts. Of fancy
things for the Sesqui-etc., the Army
Is considerably more popular today
than it was before the bandsmen
arrived. Daily afternoon and eve
ming concerts and all sorts OF spe-
cial engagements gave the exposi-
ton visitors and the regular Phila--
deIphians an idea to see and hear
what a really big military band can
do.
This evening, in addition to the
regular program number or mill
tary band character, Captain Stan
nards will introduce three solo1stS
from the ranks of his men. My
program refers to Second Leader
Thomas F. Darcy as cornetist-
but I won't call him that. He IL
one Of the most expert trumpet
players in the country. Then there
will be Alex Lupkiewitz, also a
trumpet expert, and eugene Hos
pepper, saxophonist.
SAXOPHONISTS TO
PLAY DANCE MUSIC
Which brings to mind that at
$3.50 o'clock the baking power saxo-
phonists are to perform in their
highly original manner from WEAF
and WRC with a program made up
Of popular" music. I most fer
vently wish someone in authority
would ban the use Of the terms
popular" and classical" as ulti-
mate designations for music. There
are two kinds of music and only
two kinds-good and bad! The
good is sure to be popular and the
bad-well. the bad doesn't last long
enough to rate a classification OF
any kind! The saxophonists play
good music-the program sense Of
Clyde Doerr is too sure to select
anything but the good. Tonight
most of his program will be dance
music.
The toothpasters, now that their
guardian, Carlin, is through with
his world series stuff-and good
Job he did OF 1t, too-are threaten
ing to play a Pan American pro-
gram and may break out with some
Of it this evening. They ought to
do we'll with 1t, since South and
Central America is running strong
lv to North America jazz these
DAYS and the exchange Will be just
and proper.
HAWAIIAN MELODIES
AND BAND SOLOISTS
There will be a bit Of Broadway
Hawaiian music and some solo
work by specialists Of the Army
Band School and the the cough
drop twins will close the WRC
program with their speciality,
which is worth sitting up late to
hear.
In the offing one may hear the
Bernard Levitow Hotel Commodore
concert orchestra at 7:05 from WIZ
and Jack Little will perform at
WGR, Buffalo, at $50. The prize
package for distance tuners for
the evening will probably be the
half hour OF ultra modern music
from KDKA at o'clock. The little
symphony orchestra at KDKA is
one Of the best in the country and
it's programs are always worth hear
ing.
At 1890 Cesare Sodero will pre-
sent "Eovely Galatea" with his
light opera troupe from WEAF.
It may be noted in passing that
since the hour of these light opera
performances was set back to 1880
WEAF has lost most of its out-of-
town customers for the feature.
There may be something in that
for what one may laughingly refer
to as serious WEAF thought. We
almost forgot THE Record Boys
who will do business at WIZ, as
of yore, but at 10 by the clock.
