 That he ,i'l4 o' this column is | I"iloaraloiY and maIIctousN mis- ] ."'Ilns is charge instituted by us { against ours.,f and one which we shall iak" 10 alh the higher courfs such as Sh"rrnan court and Pearl : """f. and Codr' street. And all b.. i "ause nI tho fact that ,horo WAS no i s'atlc laS' niE1t 70 get through, In ! .3ct disturbances uc nearly ell '~rl'tl'S were missing and fans wcr. l treated 10 ou" Of the best nights in l 3aon' hs, Distance Was not only nos SIoijty but reality and everything came in with clarity almost un- i Nno"n. or rourse, he night wasnr peFf"cf, by all means. but it was SD good that wc Coul1 hear fans all over th" city jumping up and down on one foot as hey listened to music rom Cincinnati Chicago and points "tst, Chicago stations came in espr- cially we'll.
 Last night seemed to favor the | western stations most. l'Ioriia didn't come in as loud as usual and none Of the extreme southern stations seemed to have ,heir customary pop. l ! But iAe others made up for it.
  Early in tho evening stations i weren't coming in so well. that is. l shortly after { o'clock, so We went | out for ~hija. returning in time 10 | hear part Of the Chinese program 1 by the WGY orchestra. Ii vas dis i tlhct novelty made more interesting 1 by the finished work Of the well ! known organization which has been appearing a the Schenectady station | almost since the beginning Of broad- casting The queer harmonics and ecTle melodies Of the Chinese were well interpreted and We listened with great enjoyment 10 The Stree, of 4 Thousand Delights" and Chinese Tao Ling" It's tno novelty that gets the radio fan.
 WIZ, New York, continuing it's per feet transmission and great volume of Wednesday. treated Us to pro- gram Of dance music by Freddy Eich's Hotel Astor orchestra. This organization well known 10 the radio audience, can be depended up- . on for excellent music and, while the orchestrations arc not as elaborate as many heard nowadays, the music | is always worth hearing, due to the fact that each musician in the or clcstra knows how to do his task. j, Let's Grow old Together" "Swect Child" and several others were played as dance numbers, while the 'cellist Of the orchestra surprised ua with genuine classical selection during one of the intarmissions
 WBZ transmitted the after th4ater srolic from the Repertory theatcr Boston, and everybody up there seemed 10 he having q splendid time. Noteworthy among others, were several pianOlogues presented by someone or other, we iidn't get thn name, Transmission ~asn't 70 good for piano reproduction, but we didn't mind, being content since conditions were so good.
 Then we stepped out
 WHO, Des Moincs, came through fairly well, although the volume was not great; in fact it never is from that station. The Corn Sugar orches- tra gave rather wet presentation of "The Prisoners Song" or maybe T. was just our imagination. The or choatra made up for i,, though by playing T Never Knew" in perfect form. Splashes of code intcrlered from time to time.
 Going to the lover waves We hi upon WBZA. the sister station Of WBI Honestly, transmission was errible, 4 steady generator hum nussed up the program something ."rrible, and in addition fJ that the music faded most annoyingIy, al hoUgh the hum did not decrease or increase in volume 10 any extent
 
 Th" Waterbury minstrcls from WTIC were good, IS mins rels 20. The singing put tL"m oyer, The jokes were rather old, although the boys gave the impression that one vas lis- .cning 10 d dycd-in-the-w0o min strol show on some stage, Variety T ras the keynote and the mixture os popular songs and ballads was a good move. Gross My H"nrt. Moth IT, while by no means q favorite Of 'nrs, was well rendered by Bill some jody
