Through fife Static

Last night wasn't as satisfactory
 as was the night before, but still
 there was ample entertainment for
 everyone, young and old, short and tall, thin and stout, and everything
 else. If one wasn't particular about
 where the music was coming. from
 everything was jake. By that we
 mean that there wasn't much dis
 tance to be had. Late in the evening
 1t was possible to reach out a bit
 farther, but that's another story and
 they won't let us tell it. No static.
 Humphrey Muldowney was featur-
 ed as tenor soloist with the Blue
 Boys at WTIC and. unfortunately,
 we heard him sing only one of his
 numbers, Muddy Water" His work
 was excellent and his voice Is shown
 to good advantage over the air. The
 orchestra wasn't quite as poppy as
 usual. for some reason or other, we thought. It's too bad "Humph" can't
 be up there each week, because he
 has slick way of putting over num-
 bers, that appeals to us.
 who is appearing at one of the Hart for theaters this week, delivered an interesting talk on mediums" and ''mystics" from WTIC. He said that he has taken up the work of his brother and that he Is engaded in exposing these fake mediums, stat ing that every one with which he and his brother came in contact proved to be a fake. He offered the sum of s5,000 to any medium" who could supply two of the words which would signify that he or she had been in communication with Harry Houdini. Before he died he stated that he would attempt to get into with two or three relatives and friends from the great beyond and he left in their possess sion a sentence which he would de- liver to any medium or other per son with whom he got into contact | So far, no one has been able to sup ply the sentence.
 The game between the Boston | Bruins and the St. Pats was eX- tremely fast last evening and Bill l Spargo made good job of the re- porting of it, from WBZ. At one time l the Bruins were playing with three 1 men against the St. Pats five, appar- ently, due to rule which will not | allow for replacements during the same period in which man is taken put of the game. At another time Bill reported that the referee had just been "knocked for a goal" but hat it didn't count and the score vas still the same. The Bruins won, 10.
 The Interborough meeting of Ro- ary clubs was faithfully covered by New York, with Roy Soule tt the mike. When we tuned in a ;peaker was on the air who talked aster than any man we ever heard. Ie gave an hours speech in about
 0 minutes. All we got out of it was lis opinion that Brooklyn is the ,reatest city in the world. Being of different opinion we have never ,een to Brooklyn, so we cant say as 0 that.
 WTAG, Worcester and WEEl, Boston, were loud, the former hay ng with it the usual mess of code. he Revellers and a novelty orches- ra were on and we heard part Of a egro spiritual from WTAG, later to WEEI. where it was oncluded. !.
 A new dance number which em- Joys the familiar and stirring Maryland, My Maryland" was layed from WIP, Philadelphia, by , larry MacDonald's orchestra. It was Your Land, My Land, My Mary md" Thinking of You' was also endered. The station came through luch louder than usual and we en- oyed the music.
 CFCF, Montreal, presented the roceedings of a banquet to the oard of TIarbor Commissioners. he station was loud and there was
