ANCIENT OPERA
| ON AIR LANES

Study of what broadcastings will
bring loud speakers leads us to
believe that the most ambitious
effort one NAV tune this evening
will be the production of a radio
version of "The Beggar's Opera"
which the most persistent and
varied of the coffee subsidies will
offer customers through the WIZ
WRC will not be included in the
musical caricature by John Gay.
which, in classifications of music
production would probably have a
place similar to that occupied in
art by Cruikshank drawings or in
literature by some of the Dickens
character studies. The opera. of
course. is older than either
Cruikshank or Dickens productions
in their lines of endeavor.
The opera is satire on the polit,
zeal and prison conditions in Eng.
land during the time Of Sir Robert
Walpole as prime minister and it
has the distinction of being the
first opera ever produced in Amer
lea. According to the press agent
1t was presented in New York in
1S50-we're inclined to believe, how
ever, its first production was IN
Williamsburg, Va, at about that
time rather than in New York.
The press agent also states that
the duel between Alexander Ham
ilton and Aaron Burr, which ended
with Hamilton's death, was due to
disagreement between these gen.
tlemen regarding the charms of
the leading woman of the original
company.
If press agents would only learn
to add they'd probably realize, in
this instance. that the leading lady
OF the first production in 1850 would
have been a great-grandmother by
the time the Hamilton-Burr duel
was fought-but then. press agents
never add. That is one of their
eternal charms. However-the
opera will be the Maxwell offering
this evening and win be produced
for radio by the same cast which
presented 1t at the Lyric Theater,
London, four years ago.
SPARKERS RETURN
TO BROADCASTING
Another WIZ offering that may
interest will be the return of the
Champion Sparkers to microphonIc
duty at 8 p. m. Listeners will re-
member this program particularly
because of the singing of the an.
nouncements by Milton Cross.
t. In the WRC activities the chief
featureswil probably be the sea
and quartet. which subs for the
sons debut of the Goodrich Zippers
regular Silvertown Orchestra and its
masked pet tenor when the latter
combination is touring the country.
There will like wise be a production
at n 80 of "Iolanthe," the Gilbert
and Sullivan opera dealing with the
peers and the fairies. Another of
the Aeclian concerts viii. be heard
at $50, but there IS nothing to in.
dtcate what sort OF d program will
be presented or who VIII present it.
The organ and the duo art piano
will be sure to figure in the exer-
| cises, however.
The chief feature of WMAL in.
terest will be the Brunswick hour.
which begins at 1880 and will in
clude the newest things in phono-
graph records. The U. s. Army
Band will also be introduced as a
studio feature at o'clock. In the
distant stations one may tune Allen
McQuhae, singing as one of the
attractions of the Chicago Radio
Show. from WGN at 1890, and at
the same hour wGR win introduce
its personality girls" Charlotte
Meyers and Mary Tudor.

Land Now Under Cultivation
Exceeds That of Pre-

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MOSCOW.-For the first time since

Alexis Ivanovitch Rikov, chairman
Of the Peoples Commissaries, told
the All-Russian Congress Of Soviets

that for 1916, the last pre-revolution
year, the sown area exceeded the
total for that year by per cent.
He announced that mechanical Gull
tivation Of the land showed a marked
increase. He estimated the number
of tractors in use throughout the
union at 1860, and said the produc.
ton of agricultural machinery exceed
ed the pre-war record by 20 per cent.
Like progress, he continued. was
shown in industrial development, and
he expressed the opinion that the
present year would see more marked
results. Funds allocated to industrial
projects for 1927 total 100000 ru-
bles lin round numbers $4,000, o00).

Special electrical and mechanical
