JAZZ RULER Of
WAVE LENGTHS

Again last evening every little
wave length had a story all It's
own and a determination to tell
It in loud tones without much in
reference. There were occasion
ally static uprOarS, but not Suf-
flcient to disturb good programs.
Boston. Minneapolis, Fort Worth
and Jacksonville provided radiat-
Ing points for easy dial setting
and clear deception.
Queen Jazz ducked and bobbed
and hooted and sang her merry
songs from the crest Of the WRC
wave length last evening as Jan
CARRIERS Orchestra provided loud
speakers with one of the most
spectacular exhibitions OF why
pedantic symphonists and scholarly
chamber musicians are running
elevators and driving trucks these
days.
The reason is comparatively easy
10 understand. The young men
who paid homage to their queen
last evening were distinctly aliye
and giving vent to unmistakeable
evidences of such thorough enjoy.
ment of the fact that it was con-
tagious. Everybody within hearing
Of them felt the blood commence
to pulse just a bit more rapidly
through their arteries.
The musical pedants are solemn,
overcome by their own dignity ana
very much in awe of the great
masters whose compositions they
play. That's the reason perfectly
respectable and outstanding citizens
went to bed last evening under the
influence of CARRIERS Interpretation
OF ..Baby Face" and Deep Hen
derson'' and s'The Girl Friend"
Just q. bit happier and more ready
Tor sleep than they've been for q
long time. Three cheers for CARRIER
and his musical clowns!
PIANIST CHARMS
RADIO LISTENERS
BENJAMIN Rather, pianist with
the Meyer Goldman Hotel Hamn-
ton Concert Orchestra, earned a
real listeners service stripe by his
solo endeavors with the orchestra
at the beginning Of the WRC pro-
gram last evening. Rather has
musical sense and piano ability to
SPARE and radiotics will be glad
10 hear him again. The orchestra
kept the promise Of its debut ana
played an enjoyable program
The coffee jobbers' subsidy from
WIZ was distinctive last evening
for the almost human announce
ments of Milton Cross. The Max
well outfit provided some real mu.
sic during their hour-as did the
chain grocery subsidy which sue
ceeded it in the nicrophone.
For an aged n1an-because If he
wrote the Little Magpies" song
as Philips Carlin says he did he
must be close to the century mark
John Barnes Wells sings like a
humming bird and his group of
songs with the grocery subsidy
last evening was especially pleas
ing because of its human quality.
ORGANISE PLAYS
WITH FEELING
II Gertrude Smallwood had played
the remainder of her program last
night like she did the "Adante Re
ligioso," with which she opened it
her contribution to the evening
would have been one of the finest
Of the month. While she didn't do
that. she played the first number
so well as to make 1t worth all
those that followed.
In the outside world Franklin ID.
Roosevelt keynoted the New York
state Democratic Convention to the
taste of ali those present and most
of the listeners of WGY and WIZ

the same for the Republicans

lions each contributed its very clear
BIT to the evenings exercises.
