We'll be pleasant about 1t. The evening wasn't half bad. The cus- tomary volume was with us and there wasn't much static. There were many opportunities to tune in almost any station desired. 90 that wasn't 50 bad. Practically no fading or local interference.
 Of course, the big feature last night was the Victory Hour partici- rated in by Will Rogers, Paul Whiteman's orchestra, Fred and Dorothy Stone and Al Jolson. The most remarkable thing about the whole affair was the facility with which control was switched from one part of the country to the other. There were no waits and when Will, out at Beverley HillA California, in- troduced Whiteman in New York, the Stones in Chicago. Jolson in New Orleans and the president of . mo- tor company in Detroit, the wait which ensued was of no greater dur ation than it would have been if all the performers had been in one studio.
 The program was remarkab ble, more through the fact that the par ticipants were separated by the width and breath of the country than by the quality of the entertain ment. Will ts 2 talker and he was right at home. He was the best part of the program. to our way of thinking. His pungent wit and sly jabs were clever and his humor was refreshing. His impersonation of the president of the United States while not in especially good taste, was Imaginable because when he changed his voice 1t bore remarkable re- semblance to that of the gentleman at the White House and because he dealt 90 caustically with several rather important matters. And there are some who actually believe that the president spoke. Fred and Dor othy Stone did not show up to good advantage. Fred's humor was forced and the the songs were not especial ly we'll presented. Al Jolson, down in New Orleans. sang in his char acteristic manner and his program was excellent. except for the fact that transmission from that point did not seem to be especially clear or sharp. His voice sounded rather mushy. The president of the con- cern sponsoring the program deliv- cred . short talk in which he de- scribed the new car. out today. His voice is we'll adapted to broadcast ing that he excels most of the New York announcers. even. We were more interested in listening to his perfect enunciation and in his clear. concise delivery of remarks, than we were in what he had to say.
