Romping Around
the
Radio Dial

Surcharged with startMne
amount Of pep and filled with de'
lightflI1 Innovations the stupendous
"Phantom Dinner" OF the Massachu
setts institute OF Technology last
night proved one OF the best and
biggest things the Radio Corpor.
alton OF America has yet offered
its audie1ce.
Tech men should feel rightly
proud OF the ceremonies ard should
have made the yell led Ivy David
Sarnoff thunder throughout the
country And, IL we can take the
TOO voices heard from the banquet
In New York as d true sample that
is exactly what the other $4,000
guests at the other sixty-six
banquets did.
Very little of the entire program
was SO noticabIy for Tech men
alone, that tile thousands. who made
up the Phantom guests could
have enjoyed ii from the beginning
TO the end.
Premier among the features WAS
the address by Vice President
Dawes. His timely topic AMI the
characteristics energy with which
he scored the Senate was interest.
ing indeed.
One Of the best things noted
about this Dinner was the fact
that the musical features were not
sandWiched into the program, as at
many dinners, to make up time be.
tween speeches.
Some of the best artists and
musical organizations that are given
us over radio were put on the
Salon Orchestra, The Tech Glee
Club, Godfrey Ludlow, vioIiniat,
Miss Lucl Marsh. rano. and the
stars from the Tech play for 1926.
