Several listeners called up to I md out whether their sets had gone on the fritz or whether the station had had a breakdown or what was The matter, since f was scheduled 70 be on the air. iu q program, and not peep could be heard from it. We called the studio this morning and were informed by I delightfully."- soft and gentle feminine voice that the station vas not on the air. Miss Fife A. Carleton ot this city proved to be q capable reader in her appearance at WTIC. She pre- sen-.d three numbers, giving her self a wide range by the selections chosen. One O. them was At the Art Museum" and 1t was delivered in the typical shop girl' dialect. Another was "A Ray of Sunshine in the Sick Room" portraying q typi- eal busy body on a visit to a sick friend Her effoffrts to cheer up the invalid consisted mainly in tell ing her how many people had died os the same disease and other in taresting statistics. The third was ."Betwecn Two Lov.s,' an Italian dialect reading, which vas also e. tective. IL was short, and the dia- lect had been well studied. We hope we may have the pleasure Of hearing Miss Carleton again some .ime.
 Then came the Midnight Suns Or chestra, a well known organization. X group Of popular numbers vas presented and we enjoyed the pro gram heartily. The band, Of course, didn't get warmed up for a couple of numbers, and the boys seemed rather uncertain ot themselves, but after things got going, thens when they hoped. SaXoplono work was ! prominent throughout. Dreamy Amazon" Calling" Bell Hop Blues" and "rll Always Remember You' were among the selections played.
 WBZ handled the To-Ie- Wcds presentation from New York in it's usual taultless manner. Dorothy and Jack had attended the first per formance os Camille" that old time sobber and Dorothy was cry ing as is her heart would break. Uhen they left 'he 'h"a'er. Jack tried to quiat her and one Of their quarro1s resulted, bu: all ended happily.
