CAMPAIGN ENDS
WITH RADIO
CLIMAX

+ ~ X !:
After hearing "The Stars and
Stripes Forever" being draped
over the wave lengths between
the campaign finales Of Hoover
and Smith from New York,
Chicago, Jacksonville, Fort Worth,
Detroit and st. Louis, decision
was reached to stay at home and
listen to the remainder Of the
evening affairs, as reception Of
the home station was just as
clear and easy to tune--and used
less power! There was some noise
elsewhere, but not too much to
make hearing the same thing
everywhere uncomfortable.
With the wide, wide world turned
into single forum last evening
by simultaneous broadcast OF the
finale advice to voters from both
presidential candidates Ioud speak er
products were a fitting climax to
the campaign. the first political bat
tie for the presidency where the
battle-ground was the living room
Of the Individual voter and the only
entrance thereto radio receiving
set. The final Outburst will prob
ably be recorded as a glorious cli-
max by both parties each OF which
jockeyed for the last Word-the
prize finally going to the Republic
cans. who kept secret the fact that
they were intending to use an hour,
after Governor Smith had finished
his swan song. until the hour be-
fore that song was begun.
Aside from the whitening Repub-
that came from WMAI in the
thing 10 all voters, as well as the
insane. the criminals and the citi-
zens Of the District Of Columbia,
were the final statements Of the
two candidates. Each has made a
campaign Of striking character,
vividly illustrative or two very dis.
tinct and compelling personalities.
And each closed it in the character
in which he has become best known
and loved by hosts Of his fellow
Americans.
STAGE STARS IN
ELABORATE PROGRAM
There was, OF course, the very
elaborate spectacle" presented by
the Hoover-Curtis Theatrical League.
under the direction OF Frank Moulan
and enlisting the aid Of dozen or
more OF the most noted stars Of the
stage. This finely managed and
artistically arranged affair. dealing
with what its title implied. 'Ameri-
cats Men Of Destiny" was note
worthy to many listeners because Of
the absence from the list Of patriots
eulogized Of the names OF Franklin
and Jefferson. But for all that 1T
was b magnificent effort the sing.
ing OF "America" BY the New York
Choral Society being one OF its most
thrilling features and the part played
by Elsie Ferguson perhaps the most
impressive.
While all this was going on there
were one or two other programs on
the air notably a concert from
WEAF wherein Judson House sang
the famous aria of Faust" from the
garden scene in the Gounod opera
SO much better than he sang 1t in
the operas performance last week
that it was difficult to believe 1t was
the same singer. Likewise there was
a new feature program in the early
evening from WRC - Gilbert
sports Talks for Boys''-that prom
ises well from it's inaugural feature.
The WMAI4 schedule provided well
constructed feature in GUIDE s

note to tune for future performances
