ton and do their utmost to while
away the weary hours. And-with
an ordinary receiving set-the num-
Der Of organizations, as well as the
number Of forms Of entertainment
available to any living room, can
be multiplied ten or twenty times
the number Of items on the, local
broadcast programl
It is rather an unusual thing,
however. for one radio station to
have as many orchestral programs
during the course Of ten or eleven
hours Of broadcasting as WRC viii
give its listeners this evening. The
program starts at l1:15 this morn.
ing with the Role Orchestra from
New York. Then comes the Hotel
Madison Orchestra from the same
city at noon. The Sigmund Schatz
Orchestra win entertain at 3 o'clock
and at Ala the Forrest Hill Inn
Orchestra does its stuff-both from
WEAF, as is the Waldorf Orches-
ira which comes at o'clock. Also
WEAF will send Markets Balalaika.
'Orchestra at 6 o'clock.
The Raleigh Hotel will furnish
music for 90 minutes beginning at
$50 and, after the baseball scores
and market talk, the Goldman Band
will perform it's regular Friday
evening stunt. Sidney's Mayflower
melodists come at o'clock. the

Calvert ensemble at $3.50, with an
hour Of dance music from Frank

TWO LOCAL
UNITS PERFORM
In between times there viii be a
| talk by Jane Peterson on her ex-
| periences with the Turks and q
thrift talk by Mrs. Claude Sullivan.
The W. B. and A. Quartet will sing
its second concert Of the course 1t
started last week.
There are two things in this pro-
gram to which special attention
| might be called. The Anglo Per.
slams play their farewell concert
this evening. This is really bad
news for radio listeners. There Is
no orchestra playing for radio to-
day that is giving such distinctive
and interesting programs and none
has q director and arranger Of
music quite like Louis Kaufman.
There has been something very in
| dividual and brilliant about the
dynamic personality and the spirit
OF daring Kaufman has given each
program.
Listening to the Persians has
been q sort Of musical adventure.
And all of US like adventuring.
We are more sorry than we can
| write that Kaufman and his jolly
crew are leaving the air-even
though, as II is promised, 1t IL
only for a short time. We are told
the Persians will come back again
| and play another season. We Ger.
tainly hope they will.
The second thing we have in
mind Is little experiment of our
own. that Daniel Breeskin and Fred
Stark are kind enough to say win
be the feature of the Lord Calvert
hour this evening. We will at.
tempt to show the various processes
through which a folk song goes
to become a symphony compost
ton. In fact we'll do more than
that-we viii try to show the
growth from "shirt-sleeves to shirt
sleeves" of a traditional tune be-
cause we intend carrying 1t be-
yond the symphonic stage. The
stunt will take but q few minutes
and viii be part Of q very interest.
ing program Fred Stark has ar.
ranged for this evening.
