No static and no volume and some There you are. When there's static, there's volume; when there's no static, there's no volume. That's that. It was sort Of a listless eve ming one of those with which there is nothing vitally wrong. although it seems as if there is. Semi-locals came through well and we heard Cincinnati and Chicago later.
 The proceedings of the Berlen- bach Delaney fight will be broadcast tonight by WIZ. New York, by cour- tesy Of the A. P. The report will not come direct from the ringside, but will be sent over Associated Press wires and read at the studio. This announcement came from WIZ last | evening. WIZ did some fancy fading at times, although this was not espe- cially disastrous. The Imperial Imps presented a refreshing program of songs, old and new, beginning with an old Southern medley which in cluded My Old Kentucky Home" l Tn the Evening by the Moonlight" '" the delight Of every street-corner quartet, you know. the kind with seven tenors, three -basses and one puny individual to almost carry the air, was another of the old timers. while the later compositions were represented by "The Girl Friend" and "Dinah."
 By the way, they tell q rather in teresting story about the Imps. It seems that once upon time the Imps were rehearsing in one of the studios of WIZ. It was a hot day, as you might have9 guessed, and the open windows looked out upon the work of tearing down several build ings which is going on next door, or was at the time. After the Imps be- gan their rehearsal, the laborers on the job, so history has it, laid aside their tools and listened, Everything went wellanntil the foreman appear ed on the scene, when a volume Of profanity slipped through the open window. For a moment the 1mps thought that they had offended someone's ears. but glimpse through the window assured them that their appreciative audience had been put back to work. Now wasn't that a funny incident, boys and girls? Next week we'll tell you why you cant hear anything through the loudspeaker when the battery is turned off.
 The Castleton Instrumental trio offered a variety of selections of a popular nature, one of the best fea- lures of which was a medley of numbers from "The Red Mill" that comic opera of a past generation. broadcasting, and if anyone missed this wave he should get a new set since WLWL is one of the loudest of New York stations.

boasts the direction of Irwin Willat,
who jumped into the limelight some
months back with North of 49," and
it presents a brilliant cast headed by
a quartet of outstanding players,
Jack Holt, Florence Vidor, Noah
Berry and Mary Brian.
The action centers around Holt and
Miss Vidor, who are neighboring
ranch owners in New Mexico. Cir
cumstances force them to be enemies
for a time, but they are finally com
PEELED to unite against a common
enemy who would take their land
away from them.
Into this story of adventure, in
trigue and romance has been packed
all those elements that delight the
average film fan-desperate hand-to-
hand encounters, gun fights, horse
manship feats and score or more of
up-to- date thrills in which airplanes
and machine guns figure. Staged
against a background of the colorful
Mojave desert, the picture is as seem
ically beautiful as it Is wildly excit-
ing.
For the mid-week program the
Ancient Mariner" with an all-star
cast and 1.-THE Little Giant" will be

Glen Hunter, star of 1.-THE Little
Giant" Universal-Jewel production,
is said to have accomplished one of
the best characterizations of his ca
reer in this picture, which was d.
rected by William Night. The photo

Kahler. The supporting cast follows:
David Higgins, Edna Murphy, Jim
Bradbury, Jr., Jean Jarvis, Leward

successful directors.
Jack Pickford, Louise Dresser, Con-
stance Bennett, Spottiswood Aitken.
George Cooper. Gustav Won Seyffer-
titz, George Nichols and Marc Mac
Dermott are he members who play
the various roles.
The unusual nature of the story
merits such a strong cast. Based on
a recent murder in the East, which
was never solved, the story portrays
the authors theory as to how and
why the murder took place.
