SILVER SPRING
ON THE AIR


broadcast center OF Importance for
loud speakers Of a wide geographical
area this evening at s o'clock. and
Gov. Albert e. Richie OF Maryland
will be the CHIEF broadcaster. He
viii be aided and abetted by Major
e. Brooke Lee, speaker OF the house
Of representatives Of Maryland and
the United States Army Band will
play musical compartments for
both. The occasion of the wide
spreading of Silver Spring fame IL
the dedication Of the new National
Guard Armory at that rising sec
ton of the Greater National Capt.
tai. The exercises are to be dis.
tributed over the WRC wave length,
and viii continue one hour.
tSeveral items of unusual merit
attract one to the Lewisohn sta
dunn Orchestra's concert which
WRC listeners are to hear at 7:25
this evening. Mozart's overture
to "The Marriage of Figaro" and
Brahm 3rd Symphony will fill the
first part of the program. As is
usual, the last part is the most in
teresting to the casual listener.
Lovely as is the Mozart music OF
the overture, 1t Is nevertheless a
formal overture and the same Is
true of the Brahms symphony, 1t
is formal symphony, vivid with
Brahms in spots, but rather con-
ventional otherwise.
The second section OF the pro-
gram, however, seeks with modern
ism and sentiment, for il includes
Tschaikowsky's famous "Nutcrack-
err suit and Seedlings Victory
Ball." In his grim, satric compost
ton Schelling has very closely
approached in music the sort of
awesomeness that Theodore Dresser
gives many Of us in literature.
MUSICAL REBUKE
IN VICTORY BALL"
Schelling composed this tone poem
as bitter rebuke from a war worn
and agonized veteran to the people
who were gaily celebrating the
aramistice. The jazz of the dance
floor he combines with the cries
or the dead and wounded of the
battlefield, and the awfulness of
the nights in the mud and trenches
1t is rather remarkable bit OF
composition and deserves the hIeh
place it is given in symphony por-
grams.
A new program presented by an
organization called the Chrysler
Orchestra-the name of which
makes further explanation obvious
will be heard in the WRC exer.
cises at Sl5. Its sponsors promise
much for it.
Our own AT Home" hour from
WMAL at o'clock this evening will
bring some new and some old music
TO living room loud speakers and we
hope to have one or two other little
items in the program that will serve
as afterdinner sedatives. The Falls
Church Colonial Quartet will also
perform as a special feature Of the
evening program.
Those ex.residents OF the Philip.
pines living in and about the area
served by WEAF and q rather alb
brevated antenna of associated sta.
lions will hear a talk at o'clock
this evening on the Island of Culion
ana Its leper colony from Dorothy
raul Wade, wife of DR.. III. Windsor
Wade, who has been connected with
the colony in professional capacity.
a new feature program called
The Balladeers" will be presented
by WIZ at 8 o'clock, with vocal and
orchestral music. A new song by
Keith Mcleod will be one of the
special points of interest of this pro.
gram. The regular Saturday barn
dance at WSM and the Sand Piper
entertainment of WPG will entertain
late tuners.
