Through tie Static


 rare. oh, very rare. We don't mean by that that there was little of 1t. Oh, my. no! There was plenty, all most too much. But then, there was static of the disagreeable variety. It wasn't the kind that comes right out and states its purpose in life. No. sir! It was that snapping, snarl- ing, underhand variety that just makes things miserable for every one concerned without doing any real damage. It filling In all the sta- tions with ground glass and rasped and buzzed in the loud speaker something frightful. It was so sliv- cry that some of the stations seemed to be putting on an ash sitting dem- onstration in conjunction with the regular programs. There was some fading, too. But in spite Of that the evening was quite a success.
 You know what a sweet day 1t was yesterday. Well, we sat down at the set at about o'clock. while the sun was still shining and vol ume was great. It was possible to bring in anything from Boston to Philadelphia. Even the stations that come through poorly during the day as general rule repented and gave us run for our money. WEAF. New York. was very loud, as was WEI, Philadelphia, and all the reg ulars. We figured at that time that the evening was going to be slick. It was, but not as slick as we fig ured.
 Sandy MacGregor, who should be called a mandolin yirtuoso, we suppose, performed capably from WTIC, keeping us in good humor with his excellent program. "Barce- Iona" was one of his selections, and then he succeeded in doing the sup posedly impossible, playing solo in imitation of bagpipes. This last, also, on the mandolin. Then he picked up a tenor banjo and played Bartlett's "A Dream" and Smiths Carolina Seldom have we entered so whole heartedly into the enjoyment Of any one performers efforts.
 From WEAF, New York, in the course Of the evenings promenade, came a program by the Burke Sis ters, pianists. WEAF gave us the works and we applauded. That's Why" was one of the numbers fur nished by these versatile young la dies. We took long shot at that young ladies'" and we certainly hope we were right.
 WJR, Detroit, offered one Of Jean Goldkette's aggregations, high hat ting under the name of the Petite symphony orchestra, in a group of dance selections, a slightly incon gruous combination. The station came in very loud. accompanied by a slight buzzing noise, reminding us of the time we fried fish in Nicar- auga. "Breezing Along With The Breeze" Baby Face' and others were played. That expression, and others" is deucedly convenient, what we mean!
 Glue your eyes to this. Ralph Elm erson, whose title is the same as that of the famous poet. because of | the fact that his middle name is . Waldo, performed on the organ at . WIS, Chicago. Or, rather. we should l say he performed as an organist or better, he acted like an organist. No, that's not so good, but you get the idea. Change all the letters around and then sneeze heartily. Ralph's final selection was a brand new ''Dinah." It's good one and should make a hit.
 The Steel Pier Minstrels occupied some few minutes on WPG's sched- ule and to good advantage, also. The station came in too loud for comfort and We could almost hear the watch ticking in the control room opera .or's pocket. Either it was his watch, or his heart beating, we forget .ened to the dinner concert from WEAF. we could hear the traffic ,op's whistle at the corner of And, tSrd. 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th. 4Sth, 18th, or 50th street, depending upon which corner the Hotel Wal lorf-Astoria is. There seems to be uncertainty among the Savants in this office. If { were up to us, we could tell you n minute, but it isn't and so we're keeping still. But, be that as | may, we could hear the traffic ops whistle and we could also hear he automobile horns. That's a fact. The announcer told us to listen for hem about year ago and we have cen listening ever since. So conse- uently we shall purchase a placque pon which is inscribed "Victory' n large letters, and we shall hang in our boodwah. a monument to perseverance.
 And the Steel Pier Minstrels get idetracked to another paragraph. Ne haven't much to say about 'em. hey were entertaining and one of he endmen sang that latest hit, Tn 1y Gondola' and then somebody lse sang When the Red, Red Robin omes Bob Bobbin' Along" An ex- client recital Alzibar!
 We heard George Bolek, pianist, l Polish Dance" from VEAL, altimore, said station nearly suc- aeding in smashing our delicate peaker. We heard a portion of the edtime story shortly before z clock, too.
