again, was perhaps the most striking
part of the performance. Just why
half a dozen different things should
be sung and played at once-no mat
ter how expertly and tremendously
has always been a mystery to me.
The Roxy outfit did the trick exceed
ingly well. Phil Gilman and Nick
Arden, the high power pianists, were
introduced again to Roxy fans as
Roxy satellites and Marian Keller,
the "all-American" soprano, proved
pleasing in the one French song
she essayed.
Outside there was station in
Toronto We couldn't identify that did
some fancy vocal things in fine style
and both WSAI and WTAM made
themselves prominent and pleasing.
The usual light opera period of WIZ
under whatever name it might
have-was satisfactory with Erva
Giles and Boardman Sanchez and the
late organ recital from Jacksonville
was unusually good.

HIT SCORED BY.
NAVY BAND

All sorts Of curious and un-
known brOadcasts flowed through
the loud speaker last night, with
only q reasonable amount of
poise to offer easily overcome
obstacles. Most of the stations
that were strangers to the liV.
ing room seemed to mOdeStly
fade out about time for announce.
ment. LikeWise-whiIe the fif-
feen-minute announcing rule
seems to hold rigidIy enough to
break into things we want to
hear continuously, it hasn't af-
fected new stations and we're
forced to hold on for long periods
before we get the call letters.
Taking one thing with another,
which is just another way of look
ing at this and the other thing
critically, we'd say that Lieut..
Charlie Benter's United States Navy
Band put up about the best perfor.
nance heard on the wavelengths last
evening by Washington listeners.
This conclusion being reached in
spite of the excellent operate per-
formance from WEAF and the usual
melange that Roxy kept moving
through the loud speaker for an hour
and half.
The Navy Band provided all sorts
of Northumberland some super
fine band music-during the course
of it's inaugural concert at the
United States Capitol for the season
of 1927. The boys in the band proved
to be good actors as well as musicians
- and they rather definitely sub
stantiated their claim to musical ex-
pertness and intelligence, too. No
musical mood was left untouched by
Benter during the course of his pro-
gram.
Circus Days" gave the organiza-
ton an opportunity to present one
of those trick, descriptive things in
g. way that made people wonder If
they were listening to military
band or an expert group Of actors
and musical comedy folk stake a
light opera. 1t was one of the best
pieces of it's kind we've ever heard.
Following that came excerpts from
"Rigoletto," played with a careful
attention to it's drama and varying
mood that made one think sym.
phony orchestra was performing.
Altogether Lieutenant Benter has
reason to be proud of himself and
his band-and the people of Wash
ington elated over the possession of
both.
WITHOUT SODERO
OPERA SCORES HIT
Although Maestro Cesare Sodero
appears to be taking a rest and was
not present last evening when his
WEAF cohorts staged Lucia" for
the listening multitudes, yet the
opera wandered along its accustomed
way and scored the usual hit with
the radio addicts. This old standby
was fairly well condensed into an
hour of performance and the famo',s
sextette was sung as a real and vital
part of the opera and not as though
it were a separate piece, as is so
often the case.
In the Roxy performance the
highly complicated arrangement of
Southern airs which the orchestra
and chorus unravelled and then
twisted into a mass of harmony

OF course, there is always The
Washington Times and the Washing.
ton Herald "At Home" feature to
tune of a Chewsday at WMAL,
which Jim Ring has been doing so
well that we're anxious to have him
continue. If Jim does his stuff this

on the air as they do in the studio

| RADIO STYLE

Wild and woolly Western flavor
will be given to the forepart Of
the living room evening by the
output of loud speakers tonight
with the description Of Clusters
last stand as a great moment in
history. and the injection Of Mex.
lean banditti into the love affairs
! of Vivian and Jim.
This Vivian and Jim thing is
being developed along regular movie
| scenario lines-a school Of story
| telling that seems to have sup.
| planted the old Sunday school tale
| without, curiously enough, depart
| ing from any of its basic features.
| The poor young man is the abso.
lutely impossible hero and the rich
young man is a deep-dyed villain.
| The motion picture idea il pei
haps a bit more vivid and stars
sex instead Of sanity virtue-but
| its principles are exactly the same
and it's human nature taking quite
as rank and as insulting to the
| intelligence Of the average audi
ence, be it as listener at the radio,
watcher Of the film unreelment, or
reader of the popular novel or
short story. And yet-we like it
and get a real kick out of it.
| However, melodrama will not fill
the evening. for with the hour of s
o'clock the Eveready Hour will bring
us all back to earth and intelligent
entertainment with music by string
quartet and orchestra. including Joe
Green, the ambidextrous xylophone
player-pronounced in select circles
''zeye-lophone, if you please. Joe is
to take a flight into grand opera OF
the most modern type this evening
and hammer out part of the melody
in the famous intermezzo of 1.-THE
Jewels of the Madonna which will
feature.

Col. Lindbergh Quietly
Sojourns in Capital
As Guest of Friends
With Mother Spends Time
Out of Public View-Mrs.
Lindbergh Invited to
White House.

Washington centered it's interest on
Col Lindbergh last week, and every
one in the Capital from the President
and Mrs. Coolidge on down paid him
homage. Col. Lindbergh and his
mother We're practically lost after they
reached Washington and not half
dozen persons knew they were guests
of their cousins, Capt. and Mrs. Emory
Scott Land at 1924 Sixteenth street.
Col. Lindbergh and his mother had
been guests of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge on their previous triumrhal
trip to Washington. and when they
did not go to the White House this
time they were practically lost to the
public. Sworn to secrecy. Capt. and
Mrs. Land did not reveal the presence
of their guests even to their most inti-
mate friends, and it was not until
Mrs. Lindbergh and the colonel's aunt,
Mrs. Lodge, left for Detroit Tuesday
evening that it all came out.
Mrs Coolidge had her visits with
Mrs. Lindbergh even IL the latter did
not go to the White House to stay
and they were arranged in the most
delightful manner. Right under the
eyes of several thousand guests of the
National Geographic Society who filed
the Washington Auditorium Monday
night. and while the President made
his address, Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs.
Lindbergh exchanged notes, which re-
suited in the latter's visit to the White
House the next morning. when they
renewed their friendship OF the former
visit
Col. Lindbergh is noted for being
punctual, but he almost lost his record
Tuesday morning in reaching Boiling
Field, where he had an engagement
to start on his hunting trip to Vir-
ginia with Mr.. Harry A. Guggenheim,
having made an unexpected visit to
Mr.. John Hays Hammond at $40
o'clock Tuesday morning, Mr.. Ham
mond, who has been i'll. leaving his
bed to meet the air hero. From the
Hammond home Col. Lindbergh,
FASTENED to the Naval Air Station at
Anacostia with his mother and Capt.
Land, where he was met bv Comdr.
Wick and Comdr. Watson, in charge
of the station. There he assumed his
natural element and took flight in a
brand-new Looming amphihian plane.
Col. Lindbergh showed hia delight
in handling the air-cooled Pratt &
Whitney engine, and IT looked very
much as il he preferred the machine
to q wild turkey hunt with Gov. Byrd
in Virginia.

Senators-Elect Here
For Coming Session
Of Nation $ Congress
Now Arranging Homes for
Winter Season-List In
cludes Members From
Widely Separated States.

Nearly all the Senators who were
elected for the first time last Novem-
Der are in Washington, some already
settled in comfortable quarters for the
Winter. others anXiously searching
for available houses and apartments
as homes. In this latter class is
Senator Robert Ferdinand Wagner of
New York City who is the successor
of Mr.. James Wadsworth, jr. There
is a striking contrast between the
two men, the present Senator and MS
predecessor. Senator Wagner has
been a widower for many years and
has always been quiet and non-ob.
trusive in the personal sense, and
utterly unknown in the social realm
He has one son, Robert Ferdinand. Jr.,
who is II and student at the TAFT
School, New Haven, Conn, preparing
for Yale. In New York City the
Senator has n spacious apartment at
pa East Eighty y-siXth street, and be-
sides his devotion to the law. unremit-
ting and hitherto consuming all MS
time. he is distinguished for pas
sionate love of music and of art. He
is a weekly attendant of the grand
opera all through the seasons and has
the. habit of sauntering into. the
Metropolitan Museum at odd times to
admire any new acquisition or TO
stand in wrapt attention before old
favorites. Senator Wagner hopes to
find an apartment in Washington
which will in some respects resemble
that which has been his home for the
past 10 years. His son will spend the
holidays with him and his sister may
come to Washington occasionally and
aid in. the social obligations.
Another seeker after home capable
of entertaining visitors and, on occa-
sion, furnishing room for the amenities.
is Senator Millard Z. Tydings of Mary

bachelor. lives with his parents. Mr..
