Through tie Static

Another excellent evening. with lots of stations waiting to be re- ceived and iots of volume when we received them. There was bit of static now and then, but if one didn't listen closely 1t was sure to be missed so intinitesimaily small were the particles. There was no fading, although there were the usual local noises which can't be helped. The buzzes and groans, etc, etc. etc, were noticeable, although not trou- blesome.
 Phil Ohman and Victor Arden, with the Keystone Duo, offered a well balanced program from WIZ and WBZ. We heard the presenta- tion from the Springfield station, which did full justice to it as far as transmission, meditation and other technicalities were concerned. The far famed piano duo was much more lively last night than on previous oc-
 
 boys really demonstrated their abili- ties to an extreme. A medley of song hits from The Ramblers'' was presented, as was one from Tip toes.' The Keystone Duo and the two pianos got together on several of the numbers. among them Tramp. tramp. tramp Along To- gether," Lady. Be Good and q medley of old time songs. The vocal duo is excellent and it showed up well with the instrumental section. We would say off hand that it would resolve itself into an excellent four some.
 blow us off our feet last evening, most of them appearing with intense volume. WIZ behaved itself very well, for change.
 The Chelsea Ensem ble from WPG, Atlantic City, offered a suite from the opera Aida" much to the dis gust of WGN, WLIB, WMSG, and anothed unidentified station in that vicinity. There was battle royal down there around 300 meters, sev- eral stations fighting for the right to be heard. kDkA settled the matter as far as it's own territory was con- cerned, while WPG, at the other end of the war zone, had things pretty well sewed up for itself.
 We listened to part of the Famous Artist concert which was broadcast by the National Broadcasting Con- pany network of stations. We hap pened to be at WTAM, Cleveland, at 3 o'clock, so we remained there, to hear the opening selection, Moon light and Roses" by the Salon or chestra. Intense volume and a like depth of tone made the number dis tinctly enjoyable. Giovanni Martin elli, world famous tenor, offered among others. Rachel Quand du Seigneur," if our ears served us alright. Lucrezia Bori, soprano, of fered "Voi Che Sapete" from The Marriage of Figaro" We didn't re- main very long, since there was work to be done. We weren't interested in the concert beyond the first selec- tions by the singers. Had the Salon orchestra been scheduled for an en- tire concert, we would have been in the front seat, WTAM was louder n anything.
 The Friendly Hour at WTIC was as pleasant as ever. Bernhard Levi tow and his artists from New York performed capably. The orchestra was excellent and the saxophone player, or one of the saxophone play CTS, delighted us with his solos. Erva Giles was not with the group last evening, so Gladys Rice took her place. Miss Rice's work was com and we liked her fully as we'll as Miss Giles. Among her num- bers were I've Got a Pain in My Sawdust" and "A Fat Little Fellow With His Mammy's Eyes" In addi- tion to possessing a sweet soprano voice, Miss Rice has plenty of indi- and she puts lots of expres- sion into her numbers.
 WJR, Detroit, presented a "spe- cial" program of dance music, why special" we don't know. We didn't notice any such earmarks about it. Just an ordinarily clever staff of with an ordinarily clever of There Ain't No
