by this organization through WNYC, New York, came through well.
 The Wedding Of The Rose" was one of the first numbers by this or ganization which was playing before a crowd Of several thousands. Of course, due to the fact that the band was playing out of doors, there was not the depth of tone which would have been heard if the music had been coming from an auditorium. The bass instruments suffered more than the others. becoming almost inaudible at times. One of the fea- lures of the program was crystal clear cornet solo. Sweet Sixteen" The notes pierced the ether like pins and the reproduction by our set was decidely satisfactory. AS an encore 70 Sole Mic" was offered. We stayed only for the first part of the pro- gram. The announcer talked con- siderably about Prospect park.
 
 Seventy children, composing a chorus taking part in the opera Princess Ju-Ju," proved that they are just as clever at group singing as are their elders. This chorus was heard from WPG. Atlantic City which station, since the stepping up Of it's power output, is not bothered by storm or static. The music came through very loud and the songs were refreshing, as are all songs presented by children. Hail To The Land Of the Rising Sun" and Wave The Flag" were two Of the num- bers. We should have enjoyed hear ing more.
 The well known Meditation from "Thais," which has been abused as much as any other num- Der over the radio. was the opening selection on the program of Rose Becker violinist, from WRNE. New York. This artist, while not the best we have heard, handled the selec- ton surprisingly well. While we're on the subject Of violin recitals, we'd like to find out where that atrocity was coming from that we heard Monday night somewhere near GSo meters. It was awful
 George Olsen and His Music presented one Of their interesting programs from WIZ and, since We have said all the nice things We can think Of. about this band, weI'll turn to the station itself. WIZ acted rather poorly during the program, shifting around, fading and doing other stunts not conducive to enjoy nent of the music. On the program was one number which we thought was absolutely the berries" It was called "Discord," and it took mu- ;icians to play it. There were plenty ,f discords in the orChestration, but | { was so arranged that if there had ,een any in places other than were provided for them, the whole thing 1 would have gone lip in smoke. There i weren't, fortunately Bye, Bye was played and we wish o announce that we have at last earned the chorus 10 this number. ,s in the case of "Cornfed Indiana iirI," we will sing it to anyone who ares to call at the office. It will be ung as you've never heard it sung ,eforc, we'll promise you that.
 
 We noted that WTAM, Cleveland, vas coming through loud with ,iano solo, and that others including yFCF. Montreal; WLW, Cincinnafi; ,NRA, Montreal; WICK, Detroit; NGR, Buffalo, and others were do- ng the same.
 Our last stop was at KDKA, Pitts urgh. where the weekly Grand the ter program was being presented. { was offered in the form of cir us with the regulation "barker' nd many interesting features. We ;ish we could have heard the name f the orchestra that played "St .ouis Blues" in such hot manner pleasing singer offered, with uku- gle accompaniment, Could l? l ertainly Could" and "You've Got to Know How to Love" There was a ot Of stuff. The station faded a rife, although generally it came through fit to kill.
 That's all for today, thanks!
