Through he Static

The early part Of last evening pre-
 sented excellent conditions. Volume
 was sufficient and there was little
 static. Along toward II o'clock A roar and buzz combined became
 attuned to every Navelength in the
 business and furnished an interest ing accompaniment to the proceed ings. It affected nearly every sta
 tion and, while it was possible to 1 bring in programs, the roar was nor
 ticeable in the background. Static in
 creased to some extent. too Every
 once in awhile there was an awful
 crash, for no reason at all.
 It might be interesting for some of you to know that Miss Michaelne smith, contralto, who is heard reg ] ularly on programs emanating from
 WBZ, Springfield, was married to
 Bill Pooler, genial operator Of the | Hotel Kimball studios control panel, q few weeks ago. We visited the
 stndio last evening and were greet 1 ed by Bill, who furnished the news. An Instrumental trio consisting of violin, cello and piano, performed admirably before WEES micro ! phones. It may be noted that the members Of the trio are young peo- pie, none Of them being over % years Of age, judging by their ap- pearance. They handled the selec- tions in masterful manner, pre- senting among others, Mendclssohns
 "On the Wings of Song; Onen- bach's "Barcarolle," and Ruben stein's famous Melody in F.
 We have received several answers 10 our inquiry as 10 where Graham McNamee's voice was coming from on Monday evening. The first an swer to reach us came from Mrs. Harry F. Taylor of kensngton, who states that he was appearing at the New Haven Radio show, broadcast ing from WDRC, that city. He spoke of the Tunney- Dempsey bout, among other things. He was in New Haven two or three days, as was Milton J. Cross of WJZ's staff. Thank you, Mrs. Taylor. We thank the others also, although one fan wrote in, say ing that McNamce was speaking from WADC, Akron. McNamee was at Akron before the fight in ques- tion' we believe. but he left that city to report the battle Of Chicago. Any . way. WADC is several points above l the place where the voice was heard.
 A gentleman possessed Of one leg |. and lots Of ambition appeared on the i stage of the Capitol theater, Hart | ford, last evening. He sang and ! danced and then ended up by offer , ing to marry the first girl who would ! go up on the stage and dance with him. No one took his offer, but 1t . was a good chance for someone. Jim Clancey ofticiatcd at the WTIC mike backstage at the theater. Jim is get ting to be 6 second Roxy.
 "The Prisoners Song" was played, we hope in an ironiCal manner. from WGY, Schenectady last night in among the questions and answers. Never mind. Things may be all right but we doubt it.
 WABC and WMCA, both located . in JaytoWn- On The Subway, pro- i vided interesting popular programs, the former offering dance music and the latter, a popular pianist. WGN, Chicago, was loud enough and clear enough, with an orchestra and solo ists.
 We don't know what's happened to kDkA, Pittsburgh. Last night it was loudcd than a tube howl. We weren't able 10 get a peep out of 1t all summer and then it comes along like a summer storm and upScts all our dope. Well, anyway a marimha band offered pleasing melodies, the most enjoyabl of which was played by a saXophone soloist twe're not trying 10 be funny. "lmpromptu' was the number'es title.
 WTAM, Cleveland, was satisfac- tory, offering a studio program by an orchestra. WRC, Washington, pre-
