Schenectady: WIS. Chicago. and
 WTAM. Cleveland. The result was
 our dinner (supper) got rather cold, | since we jumped up to change the dial settings about every two min
 utes.
 And right here we want to insert
 statement we have just received
 from WTIC regarding the National
 Broadcasting company's inaugural
 program, which will be broadcast by
 big chain of stations, including
 WEAF, WIZ and WTIC on Monday
 evening next. The program will be-
 gin at o'clock and will be conclud-
 ed at midnight. A glance at the list of stars taking part will tell you
 whether or not you should remain at home on that evening.
 Following few brief remarks by
 M. A. Aylesworth. president of the new company. the program will bring before the radio audience a number of stars of the opera, stage and concert field, which have never
 before been gathered together in one program.
 Will Rogers. who will be in h. dependence. Kansas, on Monday eve- ming. will broadcast from his dress ing room in the theater in that city, and Mary Gardens program will be picked up from Chicago, where she will be at that time.
 The entire list of those taking part in the program is as follows: Mary Garden. Will Rogers, Titta Ruffo. Weber and Fields, the New York Symphony orchestra with Walter Damrosch, Harold Bauer, the New York Oratorio Society with Albert Stoessel. the Edwin Franko Goldman band, grand and light opera com pany. both under the direction of Cesare sodero, Vincent Lopez, George Olsen. Ben Bernie and B. A. Rolfe and their respective orchestras.
 All of the WEAF and WIZ an- nouncers will take part in the pro- gram. each taking turn in announc- ing the various features. Milton Cross, formerly of WIZ, will attend to the duties of presenting Mary Garden to the radio audience, while Leslie Joy, formerly of WEAF, will see that Will Rogers is given the cue to 'go on the air."
 Because MT. Joy is scheduled to appear in Providence, R. l., on Tues day evening, he will make the "hop" in an aeroplane.
 WTIC offered a pleasing novelty last evening in the form of sort of running story presented by the Artisans. It was really the history of a doughboy while he was overseas during the late war, and all of the old familiar songs were brought in | during the action. Hanford Billings | and, while we didn't care for all the voices in the group of singers, we | admired the tenor solcist, | that is, we enjoyed his singing. | Among the numbers sung were "Baby's Prayer at Twilight" sung by the tenor. which proved to be one of the best on the program; Long Boy" Long, Long Trail" I'm In Love With a Beautiful Nurse" and others. The presentation didn't drag at all and just as soon as Hanford reached a certain cue the men burst into song. It was a novel way of such program.
 Then we went over to KDKA, Pittsburgh, where another novelty was being broadcast. There, the Tea berry Entertainers presented an of- fering, Music on Trial" and the particular case was Classical vs. Jazzical." The announcer was hu- morous sort of fellow and he kept us in good humor and he also kept f things moving between numbers. His about what was going on in he court room were especially anus
