ELTfNGE THEATRE

Uproarious comedy with strong
flavor of Melodrama, blended with a
touch Of pathos and keen sense OF
human. psychology, these are the in
gradients that Eddie Cantor has
used in the creation Of Especial De-
livery" ut the Eltinge today and Sat
urday.
Funnicr than the stage play was
his screen version Of kid Boots
but funnier still is his Special De-
livery" with its romance and expert
cnces of rookie postman. Cantor
is just naturally funny anyhow. Give
him such a role as Eddie, the letter
carrier, and then let him work out
his own ideas, and he is a riot. The
interesting thing about him, though
is the fact that ysu always find
yourself laughing with and not al
him.
That is essentially Cantor. Nc
matter how funny he is, he always
enlists your sympathy for the char.
acter he portrays. From the very
moment that you first see him as ths
misfh mail clerk you can't hell
feeling bit sorry for him while
at the same time you can't hell
laughing at the situations ant

AS the night wore along things began to cloud over. At II o'clock the static was booming in quite heavily and we quit soon after that.

 We quit until about g o'clock, when we tuned in the Maxwell Hour. through WIZ and WBZ. We listened awhile to WBZ. but there seemed to be considerable disturbance there. so we shifted to WIZ. where we were a little better of. but not much. One Of the features on the program was Rex Scheff, worlds premier banjoist, so called, who presented . startling rendition of "Old Black Joe." An other interesting group was that de- voted to American composers. two of which were Irving Berlin and George Gershwin. The orchestra presented Russian Lullaby" as an example of Berlin's ability. the num- Der being played in a slow. dreamy 1 fashion. Gems from "Oh, Kay" were provided to show what Gershwin can do. There was one other con- poser, but we don't remember him at this writing.
 | Markets orchestra, batting for the Shannon quartet, presented a dance program from WIZ and WBZ at 10 o'clock, assisted by Frank Mum. well known tenor. and Billy Murray. comedian, Munn's rendition of At Sundown" was a delight to the ear. while Murray's presentation of "The Old Town Hall." caused on end of laughter. The orchestra is no slouch and the program of dance music showed careful arrangement and much thought. Several numbers, not of the dance type. were also played, among them one of those sneaky Spanish tunes.
 WABC, New York. fairly loud. with some static. and fading badly. offered the Atlantic Ensemble, real live organization, despite its unin- teresting name. "Ain't She Sweet" was offered, capable vocalist talk ing the chorus. Later, a male solo, ist sang that old favorite, Sweet Marie." The only difficulty we an- ticipate is a decided clash with WBZ after WABC is shifted to S26 meters. That's only seven meters away from WBZ and, oh. my, with all that pow CT. there will be some fun.
 We went over to KDkA, where the Market orchestra broadcast was also heard. There, Frank Mum sang "One Summer Night" while the or chestra played Somebody Said" Great stuff!
