InaI q the tunes TO WHICH, TAG
heart Of America yibrates today,
are not so very different from
those Of yesterday was deniOf
strated BY: the artists. the type:
writer industry sent TO the homes
Of countless millions through the.
loud speakers and by way Of radio
station WIZ last night. An ernl.
nent scientist told Hsteners.lfi 4
short time ago that there Ii q per-
ceptible drag on the ether BIZ the
wfltrling OF this terrestrial spheres
and It would seem that the sumo
ordinations Of tones and sltua.
tions those tones describe form 8
spiritual aura Tor the ages hat
goes along with the ages IN the.
passage OF time like the ether aura
the scientist described.
AnyhoWs you state 1.-THE type.
writer musicians demonstrated
rather conclusiyeIy that operettas
light opera, musical comedy and
revue are simply d series az names
for the same basic thing with the
same kind of llarfnonies. The diff
ference Is that the modern type
has Just q little more freedom In
the fling sof It's melody probably
due to the shortening Of It's skirts
of tempo. And its forrnality Ii
bobbed, in manner D. speaking,
by the reduction Of trimmings 90
there may be b little sharper &c.
centing Of melody.
After fishing tsv0 hours Tor
WGY I'm an effort to take my
own advice. and listen 70 Eugene
GOOssens and his Rochester Phil
harmonic Orchestra, the attemF
was given up md The old neax.
eastern standbys were tuned m.
and Miami, Of counsel No night
il complete without Miami these
J days, Later Cincinnati and Chi
cag0 and more Florida stations
came In. The noises Of the night
were not especially disconcerting
but the stations Just didn't seem
TO time in.
Schubert ProgYam for Diners
The diners at the New willard
and incidently some tens of
thousands Of people IN all parts
OF washington, Maryland and Virs
gfnia, enjoyed IA well thought out
program of the music Of Franz
Schubert by the Norman forces
early II the evening" program
that justified the promise made
for Il in this column yesterday.
There was an interesting talk on
household pests from WRC by DR..
=. a. Back. Of the Bureau Of En-
tomology without mention OK

est household pests these days.
There was also q most interest

the evening from WRC after the
chains ceased to rattle into the
receivers from WIZ and WEAF.
This combination OF musicians

Most important 70 radio listeners

as the Victor hour by WIZ, New
York, and sent out also by WGYsl
Schenectady; WIZ. Springfield.
Mass; KDKA, Pittsburgh and
KYW, Chicago. The concert i
important pl1onographically for the
reason that artists who have made
their regulations by means Of the
photograph are to be on the bill
and long bill Il Is too. Although
Lambert Murphy, Elsie Baker.
Lucy Marsh and Royal Dadmun
were singers with regulations be.
fore they ever entered q phonO-

ed their great fame and their
opportunities for opera and concert
engagements through their phone

Radio Station WRC, Washing.
ton. viii not be among those
present when the WIZ roll b
called this evening for the Victor
hour. Nor viii it be included u
the Victor broadcast again until
March rs. The Victor program
managers having selected Friday
NIGHTS for their radio expert
ments made II rather difficult Tor
WRC TO take their offerings ~
view of the fact that WCAP
shares the $50 meter wave
length with WRC and has been
allotted Fridays with It's other
alternate days Of the week.
WCAP has cOurteOusly rclinquisllsv
ed its air claims ON the time
used by Victor, hours that have
SO far been heard by WKC
audiences-and will do 80 again
March rs.
