period.
3:45 p. m.-Breaking Of the
Waves"
The two sentences quoted from
the announcement of today's pro-
gram for WPG, Atlantic City, have
absolutely no relation to one an
other-which is why we're placing
them to the top Of the column.
The waves have been breaking on
the beaches of Atlantic City for
cons of time but, so far as we
know, this is the first time that
anybody has ever put a period to
Norman Brokenshire and that fact
Is news to the many admirers Of
the happy voiced announcer in all
sections Of the country. Just what
a Brokenshire period is and how
he wears it, we are not informed.
There are undoubtedly many dial
twisters who will adjust their re-
ceiving sets to find out this after
noon.
We'd advise such diaIlers to stay
tuned in for the five or 10 minutes
of oceanic symphony. Indidently
WPG makes two broadcasts of the
actual breaking of the waves every
day-the first at 1886 p. m. and the
second at $50 p. m.
AS there is no baseball game
scheduled for the Washington team
today, there is reasonable certainty
that a rather extended and varied
program will come to loud speakers
from New York during the after.

The main feature of the concert
by Lieut.. Charles Benter's United
States Navy Band from the United
States Capitol plaza this evening
will be a new arrangement of the
famous "Schenerazade" suite of
Rimsky Karsakov. The eminent
Russian composer endeavors to
make a musical version of the
Arabian Nights tales in this suite
and made a most brilliant success
of it. The "Sinbad" story he tells
rather completely and uses it to
begin and as the suggestion for
the ending Of the suite.
The opera this evening will be
Mozart's Marriage of Figaro"
This occupies a rather peculiar
position in operate history. 1t can
really be used as a sequel to Ros-
sini's Barber of Seville" although
the Mozart opera was actually
written 40 years before Rossini
started his work! And musically,
it is a much finer bit of work than
Rossini's.
