New Britain herald., 1926-10-25

sented at WPG, Atlantic City, a sta
 ton which made no bones about the fact that it intended to break all pre- vious records for volume. Mrs. Wes- | ley, soprano. sang several delightful
 selections, including Smoke Rings"
 and Dear Love, My Love" from
 June Love" The station treated
 her voice very nicely.
 MT. Wright and MT. Wrong, two
 gentlemen with the ability to sing
 in excellent harmony, entertained from VICES, New York. We've
 heard them before, and so, when We
 saw their names on the program, we
 said to us, Well, we must tune in
 on that program, eh?" gs replied, "Yes," and so there we were when the curtain went up. We heard "Un-
 der The Omelet Tree" and Give Me
 Ukulele Lady" among others. Sat
 urday night had them all beat for funny titles.
 CFCF. Montreal, also came | lllOuSIl Ntly lOuu "ltll udICo III uSlCs
 There was just bit of fading on
 that station, however. Bye. Bye
 Black bird" and Roll 'Em, Girls, Roll En-" two numbers which have ! had their run, no pun intended as 1 far as the last selection Is concerned. However, the orchestra did it's best 1 to put 'em over so that's that. |
 The majestic strains of two sym phony orchestras, the New York
 symphony and the Boston Symphony were heard in the course of the
 evening. WGR, Buffalo. came
 through very loud. and we heard 1 WIZ we heard a part of one selec- ! ton by the Boston symphony. Just think of it, two famous orchestras without stirring from your chair at 1 home. Alabama cast A votes for Os-
 car Underwood.
 Later in the evening we tuned in a new Canadian station, CkCX, the 1 International Bible Students, at Tor onto. This station was conducting l test program and We were surprised
 at the volume with which it came
 through. It is located on about 2SS meters, we should say. Orchestral
 music seemed to transmit exception ally well.
 ! It was a great night for Canadi-
 ans, as evidenced by the fact that
 we brought in another new one, | CKOC, Hamilton, Ontario, sand
 wiched in between WMCA, New York, and WLS, Chicago, both of
 which were hammering away in great shape. Max Fishers orchestra presented Talking to The Moon"
 and a medley of popular songs which included Lucky Day"
 We heard still another new one,
 WBBC, Brooklyn. This station was
 conducting a test night program, also, and a dance orchestra offered
 group of selections, which tnclud
 ed Havana Moonlight" and Song
 of The Nagabond." When We first tuned in the station was distorted
 and squeaky, but after shutting down flor a few minutes and making some adjustments to the transmit i ter, things were much better. WMCA, New York, offered the proceedings Of a testimonial dinner
 10 Harry Herschfield, the famous Cartoonist. One thing we'll say to be-
 gin with, we didn't care hoot for i the announcer, although the toast
 master seemed to be all right. The | Radio Franks were on the program and they sang How Many Times" i in a novel arrangement, with easy harmony and slick piano accompani- mont. They also presented Then l i Forgot" and a travesty on 'Rigo- letto." Among other stars to appear was Belle Baker, the famous jazz singer, who made her debut before
 the mike at that time. She sang
 Red, Red Robin." Georgio Price
 was present, too. The station came through loud, but there was consid- eraDlc 1aQlnS WnlCn Was trOuDlc- some.
 Other stations. the call letters of which we heard at some time during 1 the evening, were WLS, WOk, WBBM and WJAZ, Chicago; WTAM,
 Cleveland; WCCO, Minneapolis; WOR, Newark; WMAF. South Dart mouth: WEAF, WFBH, New York; 1 WHO'D, Miami Beach; WPG, Allan 1 tic City; KDKA, Pittsburgh; WJR, i Pontiac. It was, all in all, a good
 night, with some buzzing, but not a great deal.
 Yesterday was pretty fair for re- ception, but last night was not so
