this evening-and serving it to the
customers. Incidently the program
arranged is showing something like
a keen sense of the fitness of things

Because he Isl under contract to

no doubt, that shoes are the closest
things to carpets and rugs, and
should wear with each other. Thus
the Bonnie Ladies'. who have been
entertaining from WIZ for some
months past will come to the loud
speakers at 8 o'clock, and the Angle
Persians, who are neither English
nor Persians. but very entertaining
nevertheless, will do their regular
Friday stuff at O'Clock.
NAVY BAND
FRIDAY FEATURE
The u. S. Navy Band is to havs
the distinction of opening the WRC
program again this Friday evening
with Second Leader Thomas Wise
in charge. The band will play from
the Mt. Alto Hospital this evening,
and the program it has arranged
ought to be knockout-in the Ian.
guage Of the theater.
Three Tschaikowsky songs win be
the main feature of the musical en-
deavor Of the sailors-each of which
is more or less an evening thought
of no mean magnitude. One OF the
things that Tschaikowsky did with
music was to hunnanize 1.-THE was
sort of Combination Of what Rud-
yard Kipling. Walt Whitma1-Balzac
would be il they had ever composed
music in the same way they did
prose and poetry.
Music was-and, ALAS still is, in
some quarters-a most learned and
stilted profession. The Russian
kicked the stills from under quite a
lot OF it and brought it right down
to the ground, where human beings
live. The Song Without Words,
the Song of Tears" and the Song
of Laughter"-a more or less free
translation of the WRC French
titles-are just what the titles call
them.
In addition to the TschaikowsKy
tone poems there will ~ another
rather interesting thing On the pre-
Myddleton n1elanSe based
ON the tune Stephen Foster called
"Old Folks at Home.
The well.known and most highly

and the agile fingers and
toes of George F. Ross will finish
W the evenings program.
George isn't ITO Kick the basket
or anything like that. Quite the
centrary--he'n probably treat II
most respectfully and carry it for
Mrs. Ross when she wants him t.
do so.
He really hasn't anything to do
with the market basket part of the
WRC programme Department of
Agriculture expert will do that at
$50. But shortly after the expert
is finished the Ross fingers and
tees will b brought into juxtaposi-
ton with the Kit Studio organ in
each a manner as to. give forth
sweet sound and sing the swan
song of yhe evenings program.
AND
CLUB LORE
A new Rumanian violinist-Isidor
Greenberg-is to be presented by
WIZ at 7.30. He's a pupil Of Lee
pold Auer. of course-all violinists
are pupils Of the great Leopold
these days-and also took some les
sons from Eddy Brown.
Not that it has anything to do
with Greenberg-but just because
the note about it happened to be
lying alongside of the Rumanian
Charles Gallagher
VIII tell something about the night
clubs Of New York from WEAF at
s As.
There is something familiar and
in the association OF a
name like Gallagher with a night
club-although probably the clubs
Charles will describe are not tn"
kind that most of the Gallaghers
