For clear transmission O. a band
 eoncurt We have vet to hear any,
 hing to beat WBAl|s handling of lhe program by the United States academy band last ovaning. There
 were no microphono rattlcs, as a re- suit Of too much volume, with tho consequent mnshiness of tone. Every note and every instrument came through clear and loud, standing on
 their own feet and no one clsc's.
 Many bands sound distorted when broadcast, duo to tho fact tha, the volume Of music cannot be handled by the microphoncs. The band will appear at WBAL again next Tues day evening,
 I"o RtlsHan's familiar and all. too-loudly spoken Out" which mu- Nieiuns recognize as the signal to stop playing at the end Of whatever chorus they arc engaged in, no mat l"r what the results may be, came through well from WBX. "Every- thing, Going to Be All Bright" was played by the orchestra.
 
 From pWH, Havana, Cnuba, We heard the final crystal clear notes Of what must have been q knockout piano selection. We didn't get q eAance 10 hear anything else, be- cause the station signed off right after that the announcor's usual hesitancy about speaking English coming through great. He didn't sign off in Spanish, however. Station came in loud, for PWX.
 "lW ai Cincinnati along about II o'clock, fairly tore up the turf and We heard the Formica orchestra play "NIcn Of Ohio" with. oh. my, , what volume! Why the number was named Men of Ohio" We don't kno" he don't know, no one knows, 1 ne announcer made some crack l about the flair and sometimes gent Ter scX,"
 Norman Brokcnshire did not ot- . hclat~ as station master for George i o.Scn'S Pennsylvania Special, as that ' worthy train pulled in at WIZ. h. l stead, Mr. Reid explained to us what vas going on. MT. Reid is q capable . announcer Of the WIZ. stamp. By . that, we mean, his voice sounds the | same SIS the rest of them over il: that station, with the exception Ot Norman, who comes from WRC. and i therefore has a reason for not being nkc the rest Of them. There is il Sligh, difference in Mr. Eeid's voice. too, and that is his possession of ttoW of New Yorkesc, highly polish ed, but New YorkoSe just the same. He says Noo YaNk, J3wdee. Cav puration and he'd probably say thoii and erl (OiD if he had occasion to But he's interesting, although not quite so lively and human as is Nor man. However, we said that Norman comes from Washington not long ago We'll we were going to speak about George Olsen's Music, but first of all We want to speak about Ar thur Browns rendition of "Bye-and- Bye,' the song hit from Dearest Enemy" the musical comedy in the 18th century costume, which is play ing at one of the thcaters in the big city. Brown is a member Of the com pany and his rendition was highly His voice IS liquid (is that riEhtD and each note fell like q diamond on black vclvet-getting deeper and deeper, Henry, so let's leave that sentence flat. All right, let's go to the next paragraph.
 WIZ faded considerably during the dance program. But We enjoyed the program and listened with in tercst 10 "Ta-Mi-Ami Trail" Good Night, Pale Moon," "Horses," and T bushel Of others. MT. Try, the man . with "just a pleasan, voice. sang few numbers, among which was You Need Someone to Love-" Say, We could listen to that fellow al
