VICTOR CONCERTS
TO Be CONTINUED
Larger Audience Believed to
Have Heard 1926 Bori-
Mccormack Recital.

The Victor concerts which fea-
tured the radio broadcasting of 1925
. and which were resumed New Year
night with a second microphone per-
Torrance by John Mccormack and
Lucrezia Bori, Will be continued at
regular intervals throughout the re-
mainder Of the Winter and Spring
il was learned today.
Although the definite dates for fu-
ture radio performance of the Victor
stars have not been set, it is under
stood that they will be presented BIZ
monthly.
According to present plans the
concerts will be given in New York
City, where they will be broadcast by
stations VIZ. WGY, WRC, WBZ.
kDkA and KYW. and weather per
hitting, will be relayed by short wave
to KOA, KFKN and KGO.
Early reports on the Mccormack
Bori recital indicate that there was
probably a greater audience listening
sto their voices this year than in 1925.
Marked decreases in the sizes of the
holiday audiences at the theaterS and
movie houses was noticed III the Cap
tlal and other Eastern cities, where
the program was easily audible.
1t is also understood that other
experiments in rebroadcasting Euro
pean concerts through the facilities
of the Radio Corporation of America
will be undertaken at an early date. AL
though unable to pick up the broad
east of the Westminster chimes with
strength enough to make their re-
froadcasting success, a program Of
dance music from London that was
included in the New Year interna-
tional program was heard by millions
"f listeners throughout North nd
South America

Encourages Efficiency.
But suppose" Smith interrupted,
suppose you map out your program
and then find that you cannot reach
the stations you have listed"
One of the best features Of the per-
sonal program, / told him. is that it
encourages one to keep the set in
efficient working order. Otherwise
there will be disappointments and the
personal program will be upset.
1t is exactly like going to the
theater. Smith wouldn't think Of
starting off for particular play for
which he had bought seats without
making sure he had gas in the tank
of his car. Yet. when he starts off
for a particular hour of entertainment
and instruction on the radio. there

not even taken the trouble TO run the
charger.
There are other advantages to the
plan of making ones own program
from the wide variety of features
offered by the manufacturers and
broadcasters. For one thing it pre-
vents constant repetition of songs and
artists The best of music becomes
tiresome if played day after day. The
best of musicians and lecturers bore
when they become a too regular diet.
Because so many fans do not give
proper attention to the selection of
their programs. nearly every house
hold has a number Of tabooed songs.
The fan can avoid this unpleasant
part of radio by making his own selec
ton Of broadcast features. The most
important part of this plan consists
in selecting constantly better things
and in exploring new fields. This
diversity tends to interest more peo-
pie in radio and. in the long run,
makes for even better programs. One
of the most unfortunate things in
radio al present is to hear some one
complain that there are so many So
prano solos on the air. 1t is the
operator of the set who is in rut.
Smith bought newspaper and con
cluded to give the personal program
idea a trial.

No. 46: Arranging the Program.

! What did you think of the band
concert last night?" / asked Smith,
upon meeting him the day following
a fine evening of radio.
What band concerto" he replied.
Il was listening to a dance orchestra -
Smith had missed another good
radio treat, simply because he hadn' t
discovered the secret of getting the
most out Of the programs. In his
he misses the things that count.
Don't you make your own pro-
grams?" l asked, by way of sug.
gesting the idea.
Never thought of it." he admitted.
I've just been content with what
had time to get. What I've had has
been good enough, but, l suppose,
I've missed lot of treats
IF you read books in that haphaz-
ard manner, you wouldn't get verv
far into a knowledge of good litera-
ture." / reminded him. Suppose you
started in each evening by picking up
the first book you could find.
Wouldn't you have Il fine education at
the end of 10 years of reading? Half
the time you would be reading trash,
or at least things that would not be
of any direct benefit. Meanwhile, the
finest things between covers would be
rotting away on the shelves of your
bookcase.
''All the up-to-date radio fans now
make their own programs. They do
not feel satisfied with the first thing
that comes along. They want the
programs that are worth while. The
novelty of hearing something come in
over the ether has worn off to a GER
tain extent. We are down to a point
&c Of hn
most important daily forms of amuse-
ment and education for the average
person. Just as we go to the theater
when there is something special we
want to see, so are we coming TO the
point where we will tune in when
there is something on the air we want
to hear.
Checks Important Events.
Each week l look over the pro-
grams for the week ahead and check
off the most important things. Since
radio essentially is a family matter,
not merely 4 personal pleasure, !
endeavor to- consider other members
of the household and ask them to do
the same. If you could look over our
own program for next week you would
see that it is not going to be all dance
music, all soprano solos or all health
talks. We have aimed for variety and
for progressive entertainment and in
Smith demanded an explanation of
my last remark.
Progressive entertainment has to
be systematic" / went on. When
ever possible, l find out what an artist
is going to sing or play and on our
program you will find that we tune in
for heavier compositions as time goes
on. We get just as much pleasure out
