 We struck WJE Detroit. where the World Travellers Were present. ing their weekly touring episode. They were in Alaska and the in- formative remarks were enhanced ny Well chosen musical selections. The station was loud enough al- though Ii didn't sem to be as strong aa usual, for some reason or other.
 Tn" new group Of singers, a W EAF feature came through in good shape rom WTIC. The chorus ien1onstrated its ability in a ploas- Ing manner and the work was of 6 type that is seldom heard over the ! air. Extremely careful training drought out just the right effects. | The feature should he hit, since i lhere is nothing Of that type being broadcast on such a large scale. {
 Marching Men" stirringly i'm pressiNe number, and Sweet l! tanaan,' something along more aedate line, were two Of the choral selections.
 Irwin Cobb. the lnimitable story Teller and story writer, acted as mas 'tr of ceremonies from WEAF last ! night at o'clock. The famous au- lhor's equally free and easy manner i of speech, his appealing drawl and . bis apparently lneNhaustible fund Of i really funny stories made him one i of the best masters of ceremonies to . come across the pike to date, and i there have been many of them in . the past few months It's q fad. If a i program wants 10 appear dressed up they have a master of ceremonies. i \ master Of ceremonies is an an- ! nouncer with q name in some other ! line. In nine cases out Of ten he has | no name in the annOuncerial field | and so the listener is in for a hectic | hour or so. But Mr. Cobb acted the !. part to perfection. He was good na- ! tured and he did not take the role . too seriously. He said the first ap- p"arance before microphone is like ! an elcctrocution; it's soon over. The | Jewellers and an orchestra presented ] what was supposed to be the pro- 1 gram itself, but the master of cere- ! monies ran away with great deal 1 of it. He told story after story. l Every announcement reminded him ! of q new yarn, and each one was tunnier than the one preceding.. We , were in extreme good humor by the time the program closed. We hadn't | laughed 50 much since We fell down and broke both legs.
 Glen Wescott author of Grand mothers,' q recent and popular ad- dltlon to the world Of Am eriCan lit "rature, was interviewed by Walter Gruelnger before the microphone of WOR, Newark, which station came 7 through with a great deal of volume. The interview had all the earmarks of a genuine one, since Mr. WeScott appeared to think over each ques- ton before answering il. He had no notes in front Of him. apparently. If l. he did, the slight hesitation was oc- casoned to make the interview more realistic. The discussion was inter- estlng. MT. Wcscotts voice is not an ideal one for broadcasting.
