Through he Static

Another eXceIlen, radio night and lde hearts ot the fans beat high, An introduction Of fading into the pro- grams ot some of tho stations failed to take anything from the enjoy ment Of the evening as q whole. Clarity and volume were features,
 S~iu'on and Rooney lil clever cog dance from WEAR, Cleveland, as part Of the vaudeville program. Every step was sharply audible and the novelty was interesting. They sang My Julie" The next act must have been snake dancer or some such montroslty because all We could hear was weird music.
 VICES, New York, offered TWO dance orchestras Of note, Meyer Davis, from the ArroWhead Inn, and the Crystal Palace orchestra. Hen ry The Eighth Dance" Set to foN- trot time, was one of the c!everly cXecpte4 selections. Irving Berhns latest. We Should Care" was offer od by The Crystal Palace aggrcga- ton, VICES faded to some extent but maintained a clarity of tone throughout,
 The Ever Ready Hour from WEAF, through WEAR, attracted us. l. was an hour Of melody, pure and simple, An orchestra played in the background while the announcer was speaking his piece and then the group sounded forth note after note of the purest tone. A quartet og mixed voices made up large part of the program, although the names Of the selections were not giyng,
 From there We went 10 WIZ, where the Fisk Jubilee Singers pre- sented program of negro spirituals. Needless to say, the station came through loudly. Swing Low Sweet Chariot" "Grand Camp Meeting" and several other well known mum Ders were included.
 An unnanounced Old Fiddlers' contest was broadcast by WBZ last evening from Cooks Butterfly ball. room, Springfield. There were three contestants, Victor Gallipo, 71. Of Willimanti; John II. Fallen, 60, Of Pittsfcld, and Fred D. Thompson, 72, of Palmer, Mass. Gallipo played Turkey in The Straw" No Name Jig" one of his own compositions, and Devils Dream" Fallen offered Turkey in The Straw" "A March" and "SwalloWtail Jig" while |, Thompson presented Turkey in The Straw" "A Jig" and "Money Musk" The decision will be announced next 1 week and another contest will be held at that time. Personally, we en- toyed Fallens playing best.
 WEAK al Jacksonville, Florida. came through slick after Springfield | signed off The Venetia orchestra, ! playing classics, offered "Hunor- | esque" and selections from Tales of . Hoffman"
 WCBD at Zion, 1ll., vas another | station that pounded through in , great shape. We didn't make notes of the features of the program, but | we enjoyed the music Of the Celestial Bells.
 WSB, Atlanta, loud and clear. was presenting an Old Fildlers contest late in the evening" but We didn't lis ten long enough to hear the names of those taking part,
 The Royal Northwest Mounted . Police dance orchestra entertained | on the midnight program through | kDkA, broadcast from the Million Dollar Grand theater. An ingenious l of "Waters of Mime tonka" was featured.
 Martha Lindsey Darlington Of Bristol will offer a piano recital | through WBZ. Springfield, this evening at 9:30 o'clock. Miss Car ! rington is a pupil of Professor Nir- . ginia Carrington-Tho Of Talla- . hassee, Florida, and she is also . pupil Of Theron Hart of this city, ! She is assistant supervisor of music | in the Westheld schools, and in our opinion, if you fans want somo really worthwhile piano music of classical nature, you cant do any better than 10 tune in on WBZ this evening.
 That's all for today, thanks!
