Through tie Static

| I | 1
 Last night, dear boys and girls was somewhat Of an improvement over the night before, though not much. Tho deadly calm of the night before was absent and in its place vas some static and quite bit Of volume on most stations. But our old friend, the buzz, after making tour Of neighboring towns and playing one night stands for the past few weeks, returned to its home town and appeared on the stage at the opry House, being greeted with grand acclaim. II didn't last long, since the curtain fell down and Drainod the poor thing. However, its infant son has vowed vengeance and promises an appearance just as soon | as 1t gets old enough to walk. We're thinking Of getting out an injunc- ton,
 ] m" IS going 10 be speedy, so hang onto your hats. We have little | tune and less material to work on, 1 having made several hurried trips over the waves from time to time, | pausing only for one or two num- bers at each station. Hang, on. Look out little boy, you'll break your leg If you inslst upon getting under the wheels.
 WGCP, Newark, Volume. Fading. tSnappy, ehD Abbeys orchestra. "Yes, Sir Shes My Baby" Ouch. 1 Qntonse Pain). But. kind friends, and lndulgent enemies, the selection was obligingly distorted by the or chestra so that it would not have been recognized. In fact, we several times thought it was the overture from "William Tell" granted, Of colrse, that "William Tell" had one. We thank Mir, Abbey, the members ! Of his orchestra and the fellow who sweeps out the studio for making the number so unrecogniza as to be recognizable as something else. We heard parts Of "Pinafore," as broadcast by the Grand Opera con- pany Of WEAF, through WTlC, Hartford. The solo work was well done, and the familiar tunes appear ed in the regular costumes. with the original orchestral accompaniments and everything. Have 8 sandwich be- fore we dodge this next group of asterisks.
 WIZ offered the Ponce Sisters, but We don't believe it, we'll who cares whether you do or not, who offered several selections in cute harmony. That's the only thing 10 be said about sisters who harmonize for living. ' Cute! They sang one number. which, we fear will become popular with the Five -Tcnners. It's label reads, Broken Hearted Broadway Cinderella" You know just what kind Of a number it is. The moth, the flame, the white lights, cabarets, too many parties, too many pals, didn't heed warnings this train stops on signal only. We didn't care for 1t and neither did we. It was rendered as well as could be expect cd Sounds like the report of con- ralescent's progress.)
 WHN. New York, accompanied by the Damon and Pythias of radio, fading and something else. took us to the Club Anatol, where Jack Pep per. announced as Red Hot Sing q" offered Sleepy Time Gal" and I've Got a Mamma Down in New Orleans" Jack was fair, but We wouldn't enjoy listening to him for an extended period, say three weeks at a stretch. The orchestra played B number which might have been "The Blue Moon," ''The Blue Room" or, well, anything else you can think of that sounds like either Of those two, We'll frankly state that we've been trying to think Of something of that sort for 20 minutes, but finally gave It up as bad job.
 We heard some Of the dance mu- sic from the Theatrical Press Agens' ball at the Copley in Bosj on, broad cast by WBH. Dok Eisenberg and His Sinfonians furnished inspiration for dancing. We didn't remain for any length of time because there was considerable entertainment pre- sented by dancers and the accom- panimcnts were nothing to go wild about.
 WTAM. Cleveland, presented The Royal Canadians Tn program Of their well known dance music, play ed in slow, smooth tempo "A Cot tage Small" was one Of the numbers and then we heard The Three Mus keteers sing Show That Fellow The Door," a nonsense song with any number Of verses. The boys sang steadily for 15 minutes before they reached the end, lt was funny, though. WTAM came through very loud.
 The "Licbestraum,' offered as q piano solo from nO-one-knOws- where proved enjoyable. The station was located on the lower waves and was doubtless testing. The tone qual- fly was excellent and the reproluC- ton was a faithful one. T. might
